Lectures mark Canada’s role in Dutch liberation Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

News – Seventy years ago, Canadian soldiers were facing fierce opposition as they pushed toward German-occupied Netherlands. In October of 1944, with the Belgian port of Antwerp still under the

watch of enemy guns and the failure of a paratroop-led advance a month earlier, it became clear a hard-fought ground campaign was the only way to retake the Netherlands. Troops of the First Canadian Army and 2nd Canadian Army Corps, along with their Allies and armoured divisions, slogged across muddy and intentionally flooded ground throughout the fall, winter, and spring of 1944-45 to liberate Dutch residents from Nazi occupation.

Development and intensification is always a hot topic in Ottawa, and candidates were asked how they would approach the issue of residential development if elected. Carroll said that the city’s intensification policies need to take into account the surrounding communities when developments are proposed. “You cannot do intensification if you do not pay attention to neighbourhood values and neighbourhood characteristics,” said Carroll. Francis said he lives in a “welldesigned” intensification project off Fisher Avenue, adding that “they don’t all meet that standard.” Francis said the design and quality of a proposed project has to be scrutinized in order to not have a detrimental effect on the street. Koscik referenced past proposals for the Central Park area, and said the community needs to focus not just on

intensification, but also holding developers accountable for their proposals. Kostiuk said developers needed to concentrate more on meeting the needs of the community with their urban intensification projects, such as those targeting families. “Intensification targets are fine, but they must match the needs of the people,” said Kostiuk, adding that housing for families should be affordable. Patton said his feelings towards intensification changed after he saw the Centrepointe neighbourhood work with developers to craft a plan. “If we as a community don’t plan what the future’s going to look like … we’ll be stuck with the results,” said Patton, adding that the ward’s next councillor should work to craft a vision for key areas that might see development.

Challengers call for more resources to address social issues him an absence of activities between the end of school and dinnertime can lead kids astray, meaning a library or resource centre would be beneficial. Patton said that programming was part of the answer to the issue, especially if created in conjunction with school boards. The city, he said, should take ownership of substance abuse issues among young people. Sutton said inSteph Willems/Metroland

River Ward candidates debate at St. Nicholas Adult High School on Oct. 16. group discussions, but added that cultural diversity can be fostered through the creation of new small businesses. Brockington said that social issues that could discourage the creation of businesses in Carlington need to be addressed, as well as holding consultations on businesses. “We need businesses to come to Carlington that residents will need and want,” he said. Carroll said the upsides and downsides of commercial development means the community needs to tread carefully,

but said “we do need to move ahead.” On the topic of social issues in Carlington, candidates were told of the significant challenges facing area youth when it comes to completing school, developing core skills and accessing key resources. What efforts would they make to strengthen social programs and community safety initiatives? Koscik said he would like to see a library in the area to provide a location for after-school studies and programming. Kostiuk said a past seminar taught

Sutton said intensification was “a fantastic opportunity to work with the development community” in order to receive community benefits. Vulnerable communities, including seniors, could benefit from working with developers to intensify some sites in return for funds that could go towards affordable housing, she said. Brockington said the issues that come with intensification need to be weighed against the need to eliminate urban sprawl. That means “smart development” is needed, he said, something that can have a positive impact on the property values of a neighbourhood. On the topic of new commercial development in the ward, candidates were asked how they would ensure development was appropriate and beneficial to the community. Francis said consultation would be required to ensure the business was appropriate for the area, but stopped short of saying area representatives should have the final say on the opening of a business. Koscik said he’d like to see a mix of retail spring up along Merivale – businesses that would have value for local residents. Kostiuk said he favoured turning Merivale into a traditional mainstreet, which he said would benefit the area and discourage speeding by allowing on-street parking. Patton cautioned against turning Merivale into Richmond Road-like “Canyon” of storefronts and condos, advocating for community-developer consultation to “really change the outcome.” Sutton agreed there should be consultation and focus-

terventions were needed so youth don’t choose the path of gang activity. She referenced programming offered by the Ottawa Boys and Girls Club as an example of something that could work in Carlington. Brockington wanted to see the city and school boards to continue partnerships and work together on identifying issues and possible solutions. Youth consultation, more rec-

reational programming, and job fairs would be a good start, he said. Carroll said “we need to do more” to assist kids, meaning more investment at the community and city level to connect with youth in meaningful ways. Francis said drug dealing is popular “because it’s a high paying job,” one that can be attractive to many young people struggling to find work. He added that resolving the issue would require bringing other levels of government on board.

Endorsements for Katherine Hobbs

News - Terrifying frights await visitors to this year’s Fury of the Fallen haunted house experience at Funhaven. Organizers of this year’s event, which raises money for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, are hoping to top last year’s attendance and financial figures. In 2013, a total of $55,000 was raised for CHEO from 10,000 attendants. Originating as Chills for CHEO several years ago, the name of the annual haunted house at Funhaven’s Baxter Road location was changed to Fury of the Fallen last year. The charitable recipient hasn’t changed, nor has the venue’s intention, said Joanne Thurlbeck, community fundraising manager at Funhaven. “We took the name (of CHEO) out of the title in order to build on the storyline – it doesn’t detract

“I support Katherine because she has shown commitment to Mechanicsville like no previous Councillor has. Thanks to Katherine our neighbourhood is protected by a Community Design Plan, Laroche Park is getting a Sens RINK, and we’re getting new community space at Bayview Yards. Katherine believes in Mechanicsville, and she has my vote.” Sandra Walby, Vice President, Mechanicsville Community Association “I am proud to call Katherine Hobbs my City Councillor. Katherine cares about the community she represents and has tirelessly worked for a better Kitchissippi. Whether it is on the street or meeting with residents in their home, Katherine always takes the time to be there for her constituents. Bravo on the past 4 years, looking forward to your continued enthusiasm.” Philanthropist and Kitchissippi Resident “Katherine has done a great job --the best Councillor Kitchissippi has had in 20 years.” , Resident “This is why I’m voting for Katherine--giving up your car so you can truly understand and relate to the needs of transit users is exceptional devotion and inspired leadership. Katherine Hobbs for mayor in 2018? You’d have my vote! Just like you have it this time for council.” , Resident

at all from the intention,” said Thurlbeck. “Last year was the first year we called it Fury of the Fallen and made up the story of Mordella Stillwater, a missing woman. This year we’re building on that.” The narrative of the attraction concerns Ms. Stillwater, 23, who last year disappeared without a trace in Ottawa’s west end. A reported sighting of the missing woman placed her near abandoned houses on Baxter Road, but searchers got more than they bargained for when Stillwater ambushed her would-be rescuers in a house set up for gruesome rituals. This year’s attraction picks up the story, with Stillwater being transferred to a former abandoned asylum for the criminally insane. No doubt, terror lies in wait for anyone hoping to see what happens next. The attraction, which is rated 14-plus due to its no-holds-barred fear factor, opened on Oct. 16 and runs

Organizers of this year’s Fury of the Fallen haunted house attraction at Funhaven hope it will top last year’s event in both attendance and scariness. until Halloween on select evenings. While Funhaven is made for kids, Fury of the Fallen is now an adolescents-and-adults affair. “We wanted to make it more of an experience,” said Thurlbeck. “It is very scary – above and beyond your traditional haunted house.”

A total of 200 staff and volunteers work from September onwards to make the event a screaming success, with everyone from carpenters to makeup artists offering their expertise. More information on times and ticket pricing can be found at furyofthefallen. com. Didn’t get your

Mayoral race comes down to two laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Despite attempts to fire up the electorate over issues such as light rail and garbage pickup, the mayoral race may be one of the sleepiest Ottawa has seen in years. In contrast to the 2010 election, which saw Jim Watson beat out embattled incumbent Larry O’Brien, former regional chairman Andy Haydon and former Capital Coun. Clive Doucet, the 2014 campaign has been mostly a two-horse race. The only candidate out of eight mayoral contenders to launch a serious campaign has been Mike Maguire, making his second bid for the mayor’s chair – he placed with 2.4 per cent of the vote in 2010. Unlike last time, there are both fewer incendiary issues and fewer personalities in the race leading up to the Oct. 27 vote. With the first phase of the city’s light-rail transit plan underway and the second phase

“Iridescent spectacle that drenches the senses in light and sound. It is something for the kids and also for grown-ups. The magic of the theatre, the magic of diversion, the magic that compels one to say ‘ That’s Entertainment’.” — New York Times Founded in 1974, The Famous PEOPLE Players’ company was built with the belief that the disabled must be integrated into society. Based on the spirit of personal development and team achievement, the production began

MIKE MAGUIRE

enshrined in the city’s transportation master plan, adopted last year, transit – while still an important issue for many voters in urban areas – isn’t the make-or-break issue for a mayoral candidate that it was in the past two elections. For the record, Watson wants to stay the course on the light-rail plan that he’s been the architect of over the past four years. It would extend LRT west to Bayshore Station, south to Bowesville and east to Place D’Orléans by 2023 at a cost of $2.5 billion. Maguire would start over and use existing rail lines

throughout the city to run a lower-frequency commuter service, at a cost of around $355 million. He has spent the campaign trying to set himself in contrast to Watson: he is a business executive, while Watson is a career politician. Maguire said he’d slow down on acquiring new municipal debt and take a more austere approach to spending taxpayers’ dollars, although he is interested in boosting garbage pickup by returning to weekly service (a trash incinerator is his longterm solution). Watson has campaigned on

with a theatrical blacklight show in Toronto that was a feast for the eyes. Liberace attended a showing of their original show, Aruba Liberace, and was so impressed he invited Famous People Players to perform with him in Las Vegas. Famous People Players opened in Las Vegas in October 1975; over the subsequent ten years, the company performed with Liberace internationally resulting in a CBC produced documentary, Carnival of the Animals, and a 1984 CBS movie-of-the-week entitled Special People.

his record: finally getting light rail started, keeping tax increases within the rate of inflation and freezing recreational fees. But perhaps Watson’s biggest achievements at city hall have been less tangible: improving decorum around the council horseshoe and increasing transparency and accountability through a series of new policies. Another candidate, Anwar Syed, has also shown up to debates, but appears to be taking his candidacy less seriously. He sent an email to a number of council candidates whose platforms he agrees with asking them to carry a message to vote for him or Maguire for mayor. Syed has said light rail needs to reach further to the ‘burbs – Kanata, Barrhaven and Orléans – earlier than Watson’s plan, and at a lower cost – but has offered few details. He also wants to develop alternative routes to the city’s 400-series highways and build overpasses and underpasses to eliminate roadways crossing

Other candidates registered to run for mayor are: Bernard Couchman, Rebecca Pyrah, Michael St. Arnaud and Robert White. In the end, it will come down to two: Maguire and Watson. While Maguire’s message might have more pull for conservative voters and those in rural wards, which went to Larry O’Brien in the last election, Maguire is running a tough race against a strong incumbent on Oct. 27.

He said his platform is about change, common sense and transparency. “A vote for me means a return to weekly garbage pickup, the end of the Orgaworld contract and an end to our debt,” Wood wrote in an email.

OPINION EDITORIAL

Let’s not lose the experience

T

he people of Ottawa will choose a mayor, councillors and school trustees next week. Most voters will have plenty of names to choose from. And that’s a good thing. Municipal politics is a unique opportunity to directly affect government. There are no parties or masses of representatives to cajole. Everyone is on a first name basis. Many people have stepped up and sought your vote. Most will not come out on top. But by broaching ideas across the spectrum, they have prompted discussion. The status quo – served up in four-year terms – deserves to be shaken up, whether or not every platform plank is sound from your point of view. Those people who do not win their battles should remember they are valued, and they should stay connected to city hall. From the candidates who miss election by a vote or two to those who seem to only get votes from family and friends, all should consider the

next four years a chance to seek change. Attending meetings, writing letters, having conversations in the community and in the hallways at 110 Laurier Ave. West: all those activities keep the election winners on their toes, and force them to adapt to what their electorate really wants to see them accomplish. Campaign experience engaging with the community can be transferred to working with community associations, volunteer organizations, support groups, appearing as committee delegations, and working with community health centres. Our basic social systems can only benefit from a wide range of input, especially from the kind of knowledge the most engaged participants can offer. Those elected should do all they can to engage and encourage input from those who did not win. The city could also take the opportunity to expand on public education about how city government works – such as the explanation of development regulations – that could better educate future generations of city councillors.

It’s not what we want, but what we’ve lost

W

ith less than a week to go until the municipal election, it is a bit difficult to know what it is all about here. In other places, the issues are easier to define. In Toronto, for example, the issue is still Rob Ford, even though he is not running for mayor. Here, what is it? Rapid transit? What we have now seems like a done deal. Taxes? C’mon. Green bins may be the closest thing to a real issue, which shows, among other things, that Ottawa’s problems are far from serious. The green bin issue, in fact, may not be about garbage pickup at all. Rather, the green bin may be a symbol of all the services we used to

technologically advanced than ever before? If so, how come we have less of what we used to have? That’s the emotional context of the green bin debate. We used to have garbage pickup every week. Now it is every two weeks. Abolish the green bin, say some, and return to weekly garbage pickup. You can understand the nostalgic appeal of this, despite the fact that the green bin seems to be working fine for many people, although some people complain about animals eating holes in it. Sure the garbage cans don’t go every week, but the green bins do and that’s where the smelly stuff is. Plus, it gets recycled. Some ardent environmentalists are claiming that the green bin system, along with blue and black bins, enables them to put out virtually no garbage at all. The less ardent among us might be able to get to that point if plastic wrap would somehow disappear, CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING SALES:

plastic wrap being about all that remains after the black, blue and green bins have been filled. But it is easy to understand to the call for a return to weekly garbage pickup, in a society in which so much else has been taken away.

taggart ParkeS Sherril Nixon Sunderland: Foundation an oasis of calm proudly presents Martha Nixon clearly remembers nine chaotic weeks in 2002 when her older sister, Sherril, was diagnosed with invasive lung and brain cancer, being treated in a noisy hospital, longing for peace and comfort.

Homes for the s y a d i l o H 2014

NOVEMBER 14, 15, 16

Sherril was admitted to the May Court Hospice, desperately sick and unable to communicate, yet wanting her two adult children to re-connect and find a bond with her new husband, Mark Sunderland. Staff made it possible for brother and sister to sleep in her room and for extended family, including a new baby, to picnic in the garden outside of her window. Sherril was there for six days and staff ensured support and calm surrounded the Nixon family. “Hospice was like an oasis of calm. This was our first experience with death in a hospice as staff and volunteers were a huge help. They were very much calm guides, making you feel things were under control when they hadn’t been before.”

David Johnston joined Cees Kole, ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and a host of Canadian and International historians at the museum to kick off the three-part lecture series, titled “From Memory to Remembrance”. The first lecture, which followed the meeting, will be followed be two others in Calgary and Fredericton. “It is only the passage of time and the circumstances of war and peace that separates

us – in our minds and hearts, there is nothing that separates us,” said Kole. “We are deeply grateful to our brave liberators, many of them who had to pay the ultimate price for our freedom.” Kole called attention to the presence of retired major general Richard Rohmer, Canada’s most decorated citizen, who flew a P-51 Mustang fighter during the war. The high-speed reconnaissance runs Rohmer made over the Netherlands provided valuable information that helped ground forces push further into occupied territory. “We don’t want to be cut off from the past - this is especially true if the past is shared,” said Kole. “This is why we appreciate our partnership with the Canadian War Museum. Generally speaking, it is quite a task to get history right. Soldiers face the fog of war, (while) historians often face the fog of dust, time, misinterpretations, partial truths, and

sometimes even outright lies, but it is crucial that history be pursued. History stands tall between memory and remembrance.” Johnston travelled to the Netherlands last year, where he visited Dutch volunteers who were preserving memories and history of the liberation in villages and towns across the country. “To have the sacrifice of Canadian soldiers so faithfully remembered, and honoured, means so much to our veterans and to all of us in Canada,” he said. “Canada and the Netherlands are great friends, and we share so much in common. The liberation is an important part of our story – it’s an example of two peoples working together to defend the values we hold so dear. May the memory of this difficult time in our history inspire us to cooperate in the building of a more just and peaceful world today, and in the future.”

Shootings mar long weekend Ottawa West News staff

News - A now-familiar story played out at an Ottawa hospital recently, following the admitting of a man suffering from gunshot wounds. Police report that on Oct. 11 at 3:50 p.m., a male victim in his 30s admitted himself for medical attention. The man, who had two gunshot wounds, claimed he was the victim of a personal robbery in the Lebreton Flats area. During the altercation, which the victim said led to a struggle with two unknown males, he was shot. The man’s injuries were not lifethreatening. There was no word from police regarding the unusual time gap between the shooting and the man’s admission to hospital.

In a separate incident on Oct. 10, police responded to a report of a shot fired in the 100 block of Ritchie Street in Ottawa’s west end. The call was placed at around 3:30 p.m. Responding officers did not find any evidence that a shot was fired, but is requesting the public’s help in investigating the incident. Both incidents come on the heels of the city’s worst year for shootings. As of last week, the number stands at 33 for the calendar year (34 if the Richie shooting is confirmed). The previous record was 32 shootings in 2012. Anyone with information that could be useful to police can contact them at 613-236-1222, ext. 5050. Anonymous tips can be delivered to Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477.

Apple-cheese French toast new take on old standard Lifestyle - In this “grilled cheese and apple sandwich meets French toast,” thin slices of apples are wedged between two slices of cheese and bread. Preparation time: 10 minutes. Cooking time: 10 minutes. Serves four. Ingredients

• 8 slices day old sourdough, French or Italian bread • 8 slices medium cheddar cheese • 2 McIntosh or empire apples, thinly sliced • 3 eggs • 175 ml (3/4 cup) milk • 25 ml (2 tbsp) granulated sugar • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) vanilla • 25 ml (2 tbsp) butter • maple syrup Preparation

Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish large enough to hold one sandwich. In a large nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Dip the first sandwich into the egg mixture, turning to soak (don’t over soak). Repeat with a second sandwich and add both sandwiches to the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides – two to three minutes per side. Repeat the process with the other two sandwiches. Cut all the cooked sandwiches in half and serve with maple syrup. Tip: One or two day-old stale bread is ideal for French toast as fresh bread absorbs too much liquid, making it soggy.

News - One of the centrepieces of an upcoming exhibition at the Canadian War Museum is already drawing visitors to its ethereal presence. Greeting visitors to the exhibition are the Menin Gate Lions, two stone lions dating to the 17th century, which once flanked the gate to the city of Menin, Belgium. Allied soldiers marched between the lions on their way to the First World War battlefields at Ypres, where hundreds of thousands died during a series massive, drawn-out battles throughout the conflict. The battle-scarred statues were recovered at the war’s end. They are currently on loan from Australia, where they were donated to the Australian War Memorial as a token of friendship. The location of the gate at Menin

was turned into a massive memorial arch and hall of memory in 1927, naming and commemorating the 54,896 Commonwealth soldiers who died in the nearby battles and whose bodies were never found or identified. Among those commemorated are 6,983 Canadians. Between the stone lions in the museum’s exhibit hangs the massive Menin Gate at Midnight, a 1927 painting by Australian artist Will Longstaff. It depicts a group of ghostly soldiers marching past the illuminated Menin Gate memorial under darkened, turbulent skies. The painting is on loan from the collection of the Australian War Memorial. The exhibition, Fighting in Flanders – Gas. Mud. Memory., opens on Nov. 7 and runs until April 26, 2015. The exhibit is a partnership between the museum and the Memorial Museum Passchendaele 1917 in Belgium.

Farm Boy celebrates the tastes of our community at Local Food Fair October 28 By David Johnston metroland media

From its inception as a tiny fresh produce store in Cornwall, Farm Boy has always supported local producers. Now a growing chain of quality food markets, the commitment to local food vendors still fills their shelves. In Ottawa, the relationship with local food suppliers is a tasteful blend of everything from soup to nuts, almost literally. “We feature more than 40 local products in our stores,” says Carolyn Trudel, Farm Boy’s Director of Marketing. “Small producers are unique and know that quality is what will make their product stand out. It’s a great relationship that our customers appreciate.” To celebrate the vast array of local foods, the Farm Boy Train Yards location at 665 Industrial Ave. is hosting a Local Food Fair Tuesday October 28, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The community is welcome to stop by to meet the makers and enjoy some tasty samples. “Our stores are brim-

ming with unique and tasty locally-made products and we’re always on the lookout for more, says Carolyn.” “We encourage local producers to stop by the fair and meet with our buyers.” All products are welcome – produce, grocery, meat, seafood, dairy, deli, cheese, floral and bakery products. Local producers should email the company in advance to book an appointment at fbmail@farmboy.ca It’s the kind of event that can make all the difference for a small business trying to get established. That’s what happened with Amanda Lunan, founder and president of Aunti Loo’s Treats Inc. A dedicated vegan for more than a decade, Amanda created a bakery reminiscent of her childhood, baking with her Nana, when food was delicious and comforting. It was from this desire, armed with her Nana’s recipes that Auntie Loo’s was born.

“Farm Boy took a big chance with a beloved but small scale local brand. Thanks to Farm Boy we were able to expand our business and double our workforce, employing more local people. We are forever grateful for the opportunity,” says Amanda Lunan.

Auntie Loo’s Treats is Ottawa’s first 100% vegan bakery. They don’t use eggs, dairy, or other animalderived product in any of their delicious delights. “Our treats are made using small scale batches, and are always from scratch. We use organic and local products whenever we can, and we believe in desserts that

are fresh, not frozen. We are able to accommodate most allergies. Many of our treats can be made glutenfree!” Kimmi Uriu, creator of Kimicha Tea, has a similar passion about her product. “I want to create a brand that is recognized in Canada,” she says. “I want people to know the difference between a good tea and the kind that is mass produced. I want to help with educating people to make the best cup of tea.” Her dedication has paid off with a recent victory in the Black Tea category of an international taste competition. “I am very proud that my small company could win,” she admits. “Tea is my life. It started from my own travels when people would like the tea I brought home. It gradually grew into a business. I enjoy it a lot and I love the culture behind tea drinking. Travelling to find tea really helps to get to know the culture” “Farm Boy has been a really good match for us from the beginning,” points out Kimmi. “They care about quality and put a big focus on small suppliers. They care where our tea comes from and have helped us a lot. They now carry eight varieties of Kimicha Organic Tea under the Farm Boy label. The reaction has been very positive. People are very excited when we do demos. For Natural Kitchen Wizard Korey Kealey, developing the enerjive™ SKINNY cracker was all about healthy, tasty snacking. Korey’s intolerance to gluten led her to quinoa —

gluten free, high in protein, promoting energy and a healthy metabolism, quinoa was the magic ingredient she needed — but she couldn’t find products with it that also tasted good. “So many people would benefit from this product,” she mused, “but it needs to taste good.” And with that thought as her guide, the snacker/dunker was born! Korey created an array of yummy quinoa SKINNY Cracker flavours to satisfy her every whim throughout the day. Since then, enerjive has landed in quality food retailers like Farm Bay across Canada. “We are a company that believes food should taste good and be good for you!” says Korey. “Enerjive has been working with Farm Boy for over four years. In fact, we will have our three-year on the shelf anniversary on December 8, 2014 but leading up to having the Quinoa Crackers on the shelf, the Farm Boy marketing and buying team coached enerjive until the product was shelf and consumer ready! It has been a fabulous, interactive and very supportive relationship.” “Farm Boy is one of our key accounts and having enerjive widely available across Eastern Ontario and now in Southern Ontario allows us to drive consumers to stores that most everyone can get to and love the experience!” “Farm Boy always offers unique, innovative and specialty products. Educated consumers who want the best for their families at great prices shop at Farm Boy. We are very proud to be one of their main offerings in the gluten free section and now even in Deli

www.enerjive.com sometimes! The crackers are delicious with cheese and dips so being in Deli is a super spot for enerjive too. As a local vendor, this is the type of support we can count on from Farm Boy,” Korey adds. “Every part of the Farm Boy team is welcoming and supportive right from Shipping and Receiving to Home Office and in between...we really learned the grocery industry with our hands held by Farm Boy.” Another local business that is thriving at Farm Boy is H & A All-Natural Nut Bars. Made of entirely natural ingredients with no added chemicals or sugar, the sweetness comes from pure honey and fresh nuts. It’s the kind of flavour that blends well with Farm Boy’s commitment to natural goodness. Hanna’s Bakery, makers of Perfect Pita, is another small, local company with a big future. Owner Charbel Azzi is proud that his product is popular at Farm Boy and across the region.

One special night reserved for pre-Christmas magic

T

his was to be the night. I was so excited, even my toes tingled. It was a Saturday, but there would be no Saturday night house party that week. No, this night would be extra special, because Mother, Audrey and I would sit at the kitchen table and go through Eaton’s catalogue, page by page, and pick out our winter order. Father seemed to take forever at the supper table. He poured his green tea into his saucer, and sat back in his chair waiting for it to cool off. Why didn’t he take it over to the oven door and sip it there? He’d soon be there anyway, leafing through the Ottawa Farm Journal. But no, he sat there like he had all the time in the world. I ushered all the dishes to the other end of the old pine table, Audrey brought over the dish pan full of hot water, and it looked very much like we were going to have to work around him. I let out great sighs, and wiped the red-checked oilcloth within a fraction of his saucer, but that did little to hurry up Father. Finally, he was finished.

MARY COOK Memories Never have supper dishes been washed, dried and put away in the cupboard so fast. We wiped the oilcloth dry with a tea towel, Mother took Eaton’s catalogue off the ice box and sat at the head of the table, Audrey and I on either side of her. At the back of the catalogue was the order form. Mother had already filled in the blanks on where the order was to be sent. We would start at the front, as usual, but we had no interest in the corsets, so Mother quickly moved on to dresses, blouses, and skirts. Even though Audrey looked longingly at the skirts with pleats, she knew better than to ask for one. Any new skirt would come right out of one of Uncle Jack’s dress suits that came regularly in the hand-medown box from Regina. So Mother moved on to the underwear.

There were the cursed navy blue fleece-lined bloomers. I got a new pair of them every winter, because there wasn’t much left to them by the time winter was over. She wrote down the number and size, and moved on to the combination underwear. Audrey had long since grown out of long underwear, but I had a few years to go. And I loved the feel of the soft downy combinations that came with the faintest mauve lines in the material, and I was happy to see that a set had joined the list on the order form. We worked our way through the catalogue, me “oohing and ahhing” over the bolts of material, the shoes, and of course, the galoshes with the fur trim, just like the ones Marguirite wore to the Northcote School. My galoshes were hand-me-downs from Audrey, simple black rubber ones with clamp hooks down the front. They wore the look of many years of hard wear, with patches upon patches Father had put on, much the same way as when he fixed the inner tubes of the Model T Ford. My three brothers were each to

get a new plaid flannelette shirt to wear to school. They had no choice in the pattern or the colour. Mother just wrote down a number, and that was all there was to it. And then there were the pages devoted to Christmas. This, without a doubt, was my very favourite part of the catalogue. There were pages of decorations, packages of tinsel, and Christmas lights for those who had electricity. There would be no entries in the order form from those pages, I knew for a fact. But Mother knew how much I loved that section, and so she let me run my fingers down the pages, and in my mind’s eye, I would pretend the Christmas balls, the fancy wrapping paper, and rolls of ribbons, which for some reason only came in red, green and navy blue, would be added to the list. And then closer to the back of the catalogue were pages of Christmas candy. It came in colourful tins and pails, and I was sure I could smell the peppermint and the caramel right off the pictures. The tins and pails were tilted over, spilling out the candies, and each piece looked like you could pick it

right off the page. Then Mother would ask which pail or tin I thought looked the best, and I would agonize over the pictures, rubbing my finger down the page from the top to the bottom, finally settling on one that had hard candies of every shape and size. And I would see Mother write the number on the order form in front of her. With that, I would be filled with the utmost joy. Real Christmas candy. Could there be anything more wonderful? At the very bottom of the order Mother would print three letters: C.O.D. That meant the order would be either delivered by the mailman, at which time Mother would have to come up with the money, or it would go to Briscoe’s General Store. It would be many years later that I would learn that if the order went to the store, and Mr. Briscoe knew Mother might not have the money to pay for her Eaton’s order, he would simply add it to her bill, and she paid it off, bit by bit, when she could. True Christmas spirit prevailed back then, and it all started around the old pine table and Eaton’s catalogue, and culminated when it arrived at Northcote, either delivered by our mailman, or with a phone call from Mr. Briscoe that the parcel of treasures had arrived.

Is Your House Making You Sick? Symptoms: • • • • • • •

Headaches, fatigue, shortness of breath Hypersensitivity, nausea Worsening allergy, asthma symptoms Sinus congestion, cough, sneezing Eye, nose, throat, skin irritation Dizziness and nausea Chronic respiratory disease

Residential home heating has changed drastically over the last 20 years and in our effort to reduce energy used to heat our homes we have sealed our homes up like a tomb to prevent cold air from penetrating our house. In doing so we have set ourselves up to new problems that can cause all kinds of health issues that can have fatal consequences. Here is the information you need to know to keep you and your family safe this winter. Carbon Monoxide Poisoning is the number one cause of accidental poisoning deaths in Canada. Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and deadly gas that kills quickly. CO is produced by the burning of fuels such as natural gas in gas ranges, cooktops, furnaces & hot water tanks in addition to the burning of wood, kerosene, and propane and of course exhaust from your car. This gas gets trapped in your home in the winter with deadly consequences. . Solution: Install a CO detector in your home (it is now the LAW in Ontario effective Oct. 2014). Note: The CO detector does not prevent carbon monoxide from building up in your home, it simply warns you when it is at unsafe levels where evacuation is mandatory. The only way to assure that your system is safe to operate is through regular annual maintenance & safety inspection by a licensed TSSA certified gas fitter. To learn more about what to look for in an inspection & maintenance visit www.FrancisPlumbing.com Dry air respiratory & skin conditions Dry sinuses, bloody noses, cracked lips, itchy skin, aged appearance, dehydration, continuous coughing, static electric shocks are all signs of a house that is simply too dry. Dry air can rob your body of moisture creating older looking skin and a host of other discomforts and health issues. Solution: Humidifiers can help soothe these familiar problems caused by dry indoor air and can also help ease symptoms of a cold or other respiratory conditions. But humidifiers can also make you sick if they aren't maintained properly or if humidity levels stay too high. If you use humidifiers, be sure to monitor humidity levels and keep your humidifier clean. Dirty humidifiers can breed mold or bacteria. Early symptoms of mold sickness include sneezing, itchy skin, headache, watery and itching eyes and skin irritation. Have questions about cleaning your humidifier or changing filters? Contact Francis Plumbing & Heating. Also note moisture can also build up inside your furnace & AC creating mold growth which then gets blown through your entire house. A proper furnace & AC maintenance can eliminate these potential threats in addition to minimizing your risk of CO poisoning.

Car ton bras sait porter l’épée Il sait porter la croix!

planning at the University of Michigan, to speak to the legacy of parkways. In highlighting the history of how the linear parks punctuated with roadways evolved, Fishman said when it comes to the situation Ottawa is facing, he understands the issue is complicated, but he didn’t mince words when asked for his outsider perspective. “I have the relatively easy task of saying that ultimately, I don’t think a parkway system in the future can work without light rail and light rail access,” he said. The “tough matter,” Fishman said, is deciding where to locate that light rail access. “Light rail, I think, is a whole lot more flexible than people realize,” he said, describing how rail tracks used to be threaded through neighbourhoods, with no more danger to the public than a roadway. Some of the best old neighbourhoods are former “streetcar suburbs.” That argument picked up on the theme of his talk, which focused on how the flexibility and lack of rigid format for the first parkways developed in the late 1800s could be a lesson for how cities can re-imagine their parkways for the future. For instance, some of the first parkways designed by Frederick Law Olmstead were meant for horse-drawn buggies and featured a side path for pedestrians, which were eventually converted for use by bicycles and cars after they were invented. In the same way, including light rail along parkways isn’t uncommon, Fishman said. He pointed to Roland Park, a suburb of Baltimore, where tracks were placed right through the centre of the neighbourhood. See OVERALL, page 19


Overall message was ‘why don’t we slow down,’ Kristmanson says “It ran right through this beautiful parkway that was lined with the most magnificent houses in Baltimore,” he said. “They appreciated that it was running right in front of their front doors. “I think that the way in which light rail can really coexist with a neighbourhood is one of the many things we’ve forgotten,” Fishman said. Fishman’s talk highlighted the tension between the intent of a parkway as a park that can bring people closer to nature, versus the way many parkways have evolved to become de facto highways. “The association between

the parkway and the car, is to my mind, right now, obsolete,” Fishman said. “We need a much more complex way of using the parkway and of accessing the parkway.” The original essence of the roadway experience of a parkway was for motorists to meander down its length at a slow speed, stopping to take walks or hikes in the parkland along the way. That changed when faster cars were invented, Fishman said. But returning to that original intent of “the basic social character” of the parkway is what will save the form in the future, he said. “In the future, I think what we call the parkways, the

linear parks, will be used by people who don’t get there by car, but who get there by various forms of transit, bikes or by walking,” Fishman said. “That’s one of the main reasons we have to put the roadway and the automobile in its place in the parkway.” That was one of the main takeaways of the NCC’s chief executive, Mark Kristmansson, who did not directly respond to a question about how Fishman’s LRT message directly conflicts with the NCC’s own position on the matter. “Of course, his overall message is ‘Why don’t we slow down?’” Kristmanson said. The NCC executive said he

was fascinated by Fishman’s descriptions of how the cross sections of parkways – the widths allotted to different uses, such as parkland, pathways and roadways – could be re-used.

School Trustee

That message is “inspirational” as the NCC looks to undertake a study on how to transform the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway into a linear park. “It’s very timely for use to

consider all these things and also somewhat hopeful in that parkways have a history and they also have a future and maybe high speed is not part of that future,” Kristmanson said.

or a stepping-stone for higher office?

Thousands spent on signs and a slick PR firm? Misrepresentation of experience? Who needs this in a school trustee responsible for our children’s future? We want someone who will listen to parents and set a good example for kids. On October 27, elect a trustee whose only concern is quality education for all students.

For the Halloween game, the remaining shuttles still using Lakeside will be detoured to Bronson Avenue, Carling Avenue, Preston Street, and Queen Elizabeth Driveway.  All the other buses that provide service from Canada Post and the RA Centre currently take Heron Road to Prince of Wales Drive to Queen Elizabeth Driveway. This route will remain the same on Oct. 31.

News - The Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group will be playing it safe this Halloween.  With a RedBlacks game on the schedule for Oct. 31, the organization has made some

minor changes to its shuttle bus routes that evening. To address initial parking and traffic concerns prior to opening up TD Place Stadium in July, OSEG implemented a park-and-ride plan which included having 80 to 90 shuttles, more than 50 buses at the ready, secure bike parking, free

spokesman Barre Campbell in an email. “We will be working with our bus operators to remind drivers to be mindful of pedestrian activity on Halloween night, and every night shuttles are in operation.” Those Lakeside Drive shuttles typically bring ticket holders from a Carleton University parking lot to Lansdowne on game nights.

tions and jumping on a shuttle. Yet concerns have been raised by Lakeside Drive residents about the number of shuttles using their street, and as a result, OSEG reduced the number using that route by nearly 70 per cent. The changes for Halloween night will see no shuttles operating on Lakeside Drive. “Safety is a top priority for OSEG and its partners,” said

Tree Ottawa project aims to celebrate country’s 150th birthday by planting Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

JENNIFER MCINTOSH/METROLAND

Kristina Kiss, coach of Canada’s U20 women’s soccer team, talks about FIFA Women’s World Cup 2015’s pledge to help plant one million trees in Ottawa in partnership with Ecology Ottawa on Oct. 14. Kiss was joined by the FIFA women’s mascot, ShuÊme, a great white owl.

News - Ecology Ottawa has pledged to plant one million trees before Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017. The Tree Ottawa campaign kicked off on Oct. 14 at Champlain Park. Chris Henderson, champion for the project dubbed Tree Ottawa, said that’s one tree per citizen. “It’s a great gift to Canada,� he said, adding that a lot of the city’s tree cover has been lost because of

Ottawa & Area - Because your home may well be your largest asset, selling it is probably one of the most important decisions you will make in your life. And once you have made that decision, you'll want to sell your home for the highest price in the shortest time possible without compromising your sanity. Before you place your home on the market, here's a way to help you to be as prepared as possible. To assist homesellers, a new industry report has just been released called "27 Valuable Tips That You Should Know to Get Your Home Sold Fast and for Top Dollar." It tackles the important issues you need to know to make your home competitive in today's tough, aggressive marketplace. Through these 27 tips you will discover how to protect and capitalize on your most important investment, reduce stress, be in control of your situation, and make the best profit possible.

the emerald ash borer. The project will be a partnership with Scouts Canada, the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, Hidden Harvest Ottawa, the NCC, the Sierra Youth Coalition’s sustainable high schools project and the city’s forestry department – Mayor Jim Watson committed the city to planting half of the million trees. Henderson said planting the trees will cost approximately $40 million. He said the trees will be a mix of maple and oak and will be older and bigger than saplings – hence the added expense. “It really depends on the type and size of trees you’re planting,� he said of the final price tag, estimating the average cost per tree would be $400

to $500. “Our trees are an immeasurable asset to our urban and suburban lives,â€? said Graham Saul, executive director of Ecology Ottawa. “They enhance the city in so many ways that improve our health, wealth and well being, yet we often take their presence for granted.â€? Saul said there will be an Ottawa tree map created as part of the project, an online form that will allow residents to adopt and register trees they plant. Henderson said local community associations have started their own planting or tree projects. Champlain Park has its own Oaks project and the Blackburn Hamlet Community Association is also planting trees as part of the project. Hilson Avenue and Glashan Public schools as well as AcadĂŠmie de la Capitale were given saplings to plant. Henderson said residents would also have the chance to attend workshops to learn how to start their own nurseries. Kristina Kiss, with the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2015, was on hand for the project launch with mascot ShuĂŠme. Kiss said she was proud to be part of local sports and environmental initiatives.

Electricity rates to rise Nov. 1 Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

News - The Ontario Energy Board has released details on how much more Ontario residents will be paying

to keep the lights on this winter. On Nov. 1, when the province’s grid switches to its winter time-of-use schedule, residents will see off-peak rates rise to 7.7 cents per kilowatt hour, an increase of 0.2 cents or 2.7

per cent. Mid-peak rates will rise 0.2 cents to 11.4 cents/kWh (and increase of 1.8 per cent), and on-peak rates (those from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m., and 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. ) will see the biggest jump, up 0.5 cents to 14 cents/kWH – a 3.7per cent rise. In May of this year, off/mid/peak rates rose 4.2 per cent, 2.8 per cent,

and 4.7 per cent, respectively. Taking the November increase into consideration, hydro rates in Ontario have risen 51 per cent over the past four years during on-peak times, and 41 per cent for off-peak and mid-peak periods. The energy board states on its website, “Prices are reviewed and may change every six months based

on an updated board forecast and any accumulated difference between the amount that customers paid for electricity and the amount paid to generators in the previous period.” The province’s Long Term Energy Plan, released in December 2013, forecasted a 42 per cent increase in hydro rates by 2018.

Interest groups launch their own election campaigns Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Concerned about how city council candidates feel about tree cutting? What about sharrows that indicate motorists and cyclists should share the lane? Or measures to enforce landlord accountability? Ottawa interest groups know that when it comes to local concerns, the ultra-specific rules the day. A dirge of special interest groups have spent the municipal election period running campaigns of their own – to get candidates to share their views on specific policy ideas. While hosting debates and assessing councillors’ performances through report cards have been mainstays of interest group involvement in past elections, some candidates said the 2014 election has seen a huge increase in the number of surveys and direct policy questions.

Tim Tierney, who ran his first campaign in 2010 and was elected councillor for Beacon Hill-Cyrville, estimates he has received around 30 surveys from local and citywide groups – three times the number he was sent in the last election. “Way more, with a capital W,” he said. “It’s been insane, I’ve never seen this many.” Many of the surveys are more detailed than the ones Tierney recalls from the 2010 election, which meant he didn’t have time to respond to all the groups. But he did try to complete as many surveys that would be publically released as possible, since the questionnaires are an important way to reach out to new voters and express specific commitments. First-time candidate Jevone Nicholas, who is running in Rideau-Rockcliffe, said the number of questionnaires he received caught him off guard. There were too many for him

to provide meaningful answers to in the time given, Nicholas said. But long-time Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder disagreed, saying she saw no change in the number or complexity of surveys sent to her during the campaign period. The Greenspace Alliance is one of the groups that always reaches out to candidates. In the past, the alliance has hosted debates or issued scorecards based on councillors’ votes during city council meetings. But the group took a different approach this year, putting out a survey with specific policy propositions, because the number of unanimous council votes made scorecards redundant. The survey was limited to four questions, which seems to have encouraged a solid number of candidates to submit responses. Sixty-two replied to the alliance’s request, many in favour of things like a strongly worded site-alteration bylaw to

promote responsible development and a dedicated environmental lands acquisition fund. “This is the first time we made very specific propositions and recruited endorsers, and we’re very happy with the support received,” said the alliance’s Erwin Dreessen.

Voter turnout: • 2010: 44 per cent - 269,547 voters • 2010 advance polls: 42,181 voters • 2014 advance polls (with one date remaining): 28,444 voters Citizens for Safe Cycling put out its own policy platform in addition to posing survey questions to candidates. The exercise was as much about getting politicians on the record about certain issues as it was about raising awareness about cycling concerns among

the electorate, said the group’s spokesman, Michael Powell. “Raising those ideas was useful and we were hoping that candidates would latch onto them and hopefully follow through,” he said. “And we wanted to reinforce that a lot of people bike.”

Riley Brockington City Councillor, River Ward Conseiller, quartier rivière “Riley Brockington lives in River Ward, where he is raising his young daughters. Riley is the only candidate with extensive community experience as a volunteer and as an elected school board trustee. I have represented River Ward on Ottawa City Council as your City Councillor for the last 11 years and I support Riley as your next Councillor.” Maria McRae River Ward City Councillor, lawyer & River Ward resident

Join others in supporting Riley: “The Ridgemont Community Association strongly endorses Riley as the next City Councillor for River Ward. Riley will build on the work of our current Councillor, Maria McRae, and will be a strong advocate for all residents.” Frank J. Licari, River Ward Resident & Ridgemont Community Association Chair “I have known Riley for over 25 years. He is fiscally prudent and socially progressive. What most impresses me about Riley and why I am strongly endorsing him for City Councillor, is his ability to listen, reflect and then act. Our community will be well served with Riley representing us on Council!” George Brown, lawyer, former City Councillor, Riverside Ward, 1985-1994 “I have known Riley for 29 years. He is honest, very reliable and dependable – an individual who works long hours to get the job done. I strongly recommend that Riley Brockington, a devoted community figure, represent us in River Ward.” Javaid A. Malik, Hunt Club Resident and small business owner

“Riley and I served together on the public school board as elected Trustees. Riley had a great ability to bring Trustees together, particularly when he chaired budget meetings. His calm demeanour and ability to listen and work with Trustees to get compromise was invaluable, all the while using his trademark sense of humour to cut through the tension. Riley was an asset to the School Board and to taxpayers.” Cathy Curry, past-Chair, Ottawa Carleton District School Board «J’apporte tout mon soutien à la candidature de Riley Brockington. Il a toutes les qualités nécessaires pour bien remplir son rôle en tant que conseiller municipal. Lors de mon expérience professionnelle avec Riley, j’ai eu l’occasion d’apprécier son sens de l’engagement, sa persévérance ainsi que son éthique aiguisée. L’avenir de la ville profiterait sans aucun doute de son élection.» Patric Fournier-Savard, collègue de Riley

Community gives thanks by treating veterans to dinner Latest event marks seven years of appreciation Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - Tobin Kelly has a few family connections to the Canadian military – his brother-in-law serves in the Royal Canadian Navy, and his great uncles served during the Second World War. Though he himself has nev-

er donned a military uniform, the urge to show veterans his appreciation runs strong. “That was not a choice I made for my life,” the Hintonburg resident said of joining the Forces. “Just thinking about the sacrifice that means to the individual, and in a lot of cases, their family – I feel like it is an amazing commitment to take on.” For that reason he has been a driving force in the organization of Take a Veteran to Dinner Night, a nonprofit initiative that began seven years ago as a way to

show appreciation to retired and current Canadian Armed Forces personnel and their spouses. “It’s to show our respects in this way and … with this particular event I think it’s the least we can do,” he said. People are invited to become hosts for the evening and treat veterans and their spouses to enjoy a meal at Tudor Hall in south Ottawa on Oct. 26, beginning at 5 p.m. The dinner is based on a similar event that has been held for the past 10 years in Orillia, Ont., said Kelly, chair of the organizing committee that puts on the special evening in Ottawa. He kept hearing about the dinner, which draws upwards of 400 people, and felt a strong pull to do something similar here. “I just thought, ‘Why doesn’t this happen everywhere in every city across Canada?’” said Kelly, who was living and working in Montebello, Que., when he organized the first Take a Veteran to Dinner Night here. His partner was living in

Tobin Kelly/Submitted

Retired and active Canadian military personnel and their spouses will once again be treated to dinner by those who want to show their appreciation for the sacrifices they made to their country. For the seventh year, Take a Veteran to Dinner Night will take place at Tudor Hall in south Ottawa. Ottawa at the time and Kelly knew the National Capital Region is home to thousands of retired and current military personnel. He began to make things happen by calling around to banquet halls. Tudor Hall in south Ottawa has been the venue for the event since its inception.

“My girlfriend at the time (now Kelly’s wife) essentially told me, ‘You either have to shut up about this or do something about it.’” So he did. “It just came back to the idea that I thought this was a really simple way to express thanks,” he said, adding the

event is held in the lead up to Remembrance Day. “It’s about people who are moved to thank retired and active members in the service in a way that’s a little more personal by inviting them out to dinner.” See MANY, page 36

Carbon Monoxide detectors made mandatory in Ontario Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

News - If they don’t already, homeowners will now have two safety alarms to check each year. Effective Oct. 15, the Ontario government has made functioning carbon monoxide detectors mandatory for all homes and multi-unit residential buildings. The regulation is an update of the province’s fire code, and is

based on recommendations from an advisory committee led by the Office of the Fire Marshall and Emergency Management. Representatives from the province’s fire services, hotel and rental housing industries, condo owners and alarm manufacturers had input in the recommendations. “We want Ontarians to be aware of the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning because these tragedies are

preventable,” stated Yasir Naqvi, minister of community safety and correctional services, in a media release. “The change to the Fire Code is all about making sure we keep our families and homes safe. I urge all Ontarians to install a carbon monoxide alarm in their homes immediately.” The detectors should be placed near sleeping areas in homes, and in the service rooms and sleeping areas in apartment buildings.

Bill 77, an Act to Proclaim Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week and to amend the Fire Protection and Prevention Act, was passed in Ontario legislature in December 2013. A major proponent of the legislation was John Gignac, co-chairman of the Hawkins-Gignac Foundation for (Carbon Monoxide) Education. Gignac, a long-time Ontario firefighter, campaigned for changes to the Fire Code following the carbon

monoxide deaths of his niece, Laurie Hawkins, and her family in December 2008. A blocked chimney flue was blamed for the deaths. In their memory, Gignac formed a charitable foundation that campaigned for carbon monoxide awareness and distributed detectors to at-risk familes. In a released statement, Gignac urged Ontarians and all Canadians to install alarm “so we can combat the silent killer.” Resulting from Bill 77, the province’s first Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week will take place Nov. 1 to 8.

ACORN promotes ‘get out and vote’ campaign Door knocking aimed to help voter turnout this year Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - A group of dedicated Ottawa residents have been knocking on doors to ensure everyone eligible gets out to vote on Oct. 27. The efforts were instigated by the Vanier chapter of ACORN, when members spent a few Saturdays in September and October knocking on doors to inform residents of the upcoming election, how to vote and where they will need to go to vote. Vanier ACORN’s chairwoman Ria Rinne said the response was positive, with many residents expressing their desire to have their voices heard. “A lot of people wanted to know more,” Rinne said.

During the event, the group promoted ACORN specific events, including a town hall event on Sept. 27 which featured candidates from Rideau-Vanier and Rideau-Rockcliffe, which ended up drawing more than 80 people. Gisele Bouvier also helped organize the event and said the group was pleased with the responses from residents. “The knocking was about letting them know how to vote and where and if they weren’t registered to help them find out how,” Bouvier said. According to Bouvier and Rinne, the organization believes that the number of accessible voting stations remains low in the city, which they said shows in the low voter turnout seen in places like Vanier.

For the door knocking event, the group focused on the northern side of Montreal Road. This decision was made based on an ACORN analysis project completed this past April on neighbourhood polling stations locations. “Really it shows there should be more polling stations,” Bouvier said. As it stands, Rinne said the number of polling stations remains the same as it did in 2010, but ACORN adds they hope the efforts its members are making will make a difference this year. “It’s really important to get out and vote,” Rinne said. “You can make such a change.” Information on how to vote is available at ottawa.ca/en/ city-hall/your-city-government/2014-elections.

treated to dinner during Take a Veteran to Dinner Night are in their 90s, and Kelly is always impressed by their life experiences. “That’s the neat thing when we’ve got vets from different generations that are wowing each other with their stories, and it’s really neat to kind of eavesdrop on,” said Kelly. Those veterans are often appreciative when hosts bring their children, some of whom are as young as 10 years old, to the dinner. “A lot of the older vets just love to know that younger Canadians are wanting to participate and be part of it too,” he said. The deadline to purchase tickets to Take a Veteran to Dinner Night is the morning of Friday, Oct. 24. The event will be held at Tudor Hall, located at 3750 North Bowesville Rd. North.

The appreciation dinner has grown over the years, beginning with about 65 people. About 120 veterans and their hosts – those who bring the veterans and their spouses to the sit-down meal – enjoyed the social evening last year. “There’s no grand plan in my mind to make this thousands of people strong. The intimate nature of the size we have – I think that adds a lot to the feel of the evening.” Many of those who attend, both veterans and their hosts, come back every year. Military spouses are also an important part of the evening, said Kelly. “We do feel it’s pretty important to recognize the role of spouses in the military family because, as you can imagine, deployments can be pretty challenging times for families.” The event will be emceed by Ottawa CTV News anchor Carol Anne Meehan, and Soldier

On representative Sgt. Bjarne Nielsen, who was injured in Afghanistan, will be the guest speaker this year. Nielsen was among a group of soldiers who skied the last 100 kilometres to the North Pole last April. Today, he works with Soldier On, an organization that helps injured military members transition back to work in the forces or into civilian life. The Canadian Military Wives Choir, which is based in Stittsville and formed last fall, have been invited to perform for the first time during the event. They will start off the evening with O Canada and sing a medley later in the evening. Among those who gather annually at Tudor Hall for the meal is a group of women that served in the Air Force during the Second World War.

Funny Money gives students financial crash-course how much things cost, and making a budget – specifically for students going away to university in the future who will have to manage their own finances. He pulled up one student, and asked how much it would cost to finance running his parents’ vehicle if they were to ever give it to him. The funny part of the money side came out when the student said his parents loan him their minivan. “I’d rather be run over by a Celine Dion tour bus (than drive a minivan),” Grignon said. But nonetheless, they discussed the cost of insurance, gas, maintenance fees and often forgotten expenses like winter tires. “Get a handle on this stuff now, because your lives are easier now,” he said. Debt can easily creep up when students get their first credit cards, even if it’s justified as being for emergencies

News - Comedian Denis Grignon visited St. Matthew High School in Orléans on Oct. 14 to give grade 10, 11 and 12 students a lesson on money. Grignon performed as a part of the Funny Money program that educates students on financial choices. “You’re living off your parents and that cannot last forever,” Grignon said. “You don’t know how much your lives cost because someone else is paying for you.” Cash prizes – ranging from a loonie to $50 – ensured student participation was high. He talked about three main points for the students to remember when handling their money: know your flow, control what you owe and invest your dough. The comedian talked about the importance of knowing

only. He recommended students get a student credit card when they go to post-secondary school with a lower spending limit – and to pay it off in full every month. The students finished by hearing about investments, and what investments appreciate instead of depreciate – like a car purchase. “You have the best investment tool: time,” Grignon said. At the end, students competed in a contest, combining dance skills and trivia, with a $50 prize. Grignon made sure to tell the winning student, Loic Komoso, not to waste his prize money on junk food. Grignon was scheduled to bring his presentation to several Ottawa high schools, including Longfields Davidson Heights, Mother Teresa, Immaculata, St. Francis Xavier and St. Joseph.

Adventure kits to spur love for science, math among Scouts Educational tool developed by science and technology museum Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - An out-of-thisworld adventure – and perhaps even a new career path – is waiting for Scouts across Canada who open and peek inside new kits specially designed for them by the Canada Science and Technology Museum. The educational kits, developed in collaboration with

Scouts Canada, are meant to spark curiosity in the minds of Scouts, ages eight to 10, in science, technology, engineering and math – topics that are not drawing as much interest among as many Canadian school kids as experts would like. “Science, technology, engineering and math are fundamental to an informed population and for literacy and we’d like to see STEM (sci-

OVER

ence, technology, engineering and math) programming at a young enough age to get kids excited so that they’re open to STEM, whether it’s because they want to have a career in STEM or because they want to be really good informed citizens,” said Sandra Corbeil, director of education for the Canada Science and Technology Museums Corporation. See PERFECT, page 40

Submitted

The Canada Science and Technology Museum has developed a new educational kit for Scouts Canada, similar to the kits the museum has developed for Canadian schools. Through the new kits, Scouts, ages eight to 10, will have the opportunity to make experiments and learn about science, technology, engineering and math.

Perfect age for tapping into curiosity about technology, engineering Continued from page 38

That organization manages three national museums, including the Science and Technology Museum. “So much of what’s happening around us, we need to have some basic literacy in these areas,” she said. “A 2012 report from the Canadian Council of Chief Executives found Canada is falling behind in STEM disci-

plines, with only 37 per cent of pending high school graduates expressing an interest in taking even one post-secondary science course,” Olivier Bouffard, museum spokesman, said in a statement announcing the new interactive kits on Oct. 15. Another statistic shows that almost one-third or 27 per cent of students by the ages of 16 to 18 say they are not interested in science, Bouffard said.

“And so we’re trying to help increase awareness and appreciation and literacy in STEM,” Corbeil said. By making the kits available to boys and girls, ages eight to 10, in the Scouts Canada program, the museum hopes to reach and educate an impressionable generation. “It’s the perfect age because that’s when we know kids will decide to be open and curious for science, technology,

engineering and math, or they might disengage and we want to make them stay engaged, Corbeil said. “So if we can show them that it’s fun and that it’s perhaps not what they think and help them feel a little connected to it, I think that they can carry that forward in their studies and perhaps their career.” The science, technology, engineering and math kits

– also known as STEM kits – are designed to be fun as well as educational for the Scouts. The boxes will be based in a half-dozen Scouting centres across the country, and units can sign them out to learn about space exploration through a half-dozen interactive learning activities on space exploration, rocket science, astronaut training and life on the International Space Station, among other topics.

The kits complement a STEM pilot program initiated by Scouts Canada, through which participants can enjoy interactive experiences involving chemistry, engineering and robotics. Scouts Canada reached out in the spring to museum officials after learning about the facility’s educational kits for school children, a program that first launched in 2009, said Corbeil.

Second Watson’s Mill haunted house now even creepier Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Community - Legend has it that Watson’s Mill has been haunted since the death of a young bride more than 150 years ago. Ghostly sightings, unexplained footsteps and hair-raising happenings have made the mill a popular destination for paranormal investigators for years, and staff have built on that reputation with a three-day haunting extravaganza just in time for Halloween. The three-day haunted house had 600 people running for the exits in its first year, and now the second-annual event will extend its bony grasp to the mill’s second storey. “Be prepared to be scared,” said education officer Cam Trueman. “We’re going to put a lot more emphasis on action.” Beginning on Oct. 23, guests can work up the courage to

wander through the Watson’s Mill maze despite the risk of running afoul of wily witches, demonic dolls and a basement full of zombies. Trueman said the trip through the haunted house will be scarier and longer than last year’s event – adding he wants the haunting to someday take over the whole village. “We eventually want to build this down the street,” he said. “My goal in 10 years is to have the whole village involved.” Already the teen demographic is heavily involved, with volunteers from area high schools populating the gory grist mill and grabbing at guests as they run past. The mill has partnered with the Manotick Village Community Association’s youth group to make the event possible. The event runs Thursday, Oct. 23 to Saturday, Oct. 25 from 7 to 9:30 p.m. Tickets are $5. It is not recommended for

children under 10. For those looking for a more scientific explanation of the realm of the undead, the mill will also offer its annual Halloween ghost hunt in partnership with the Haunted Ottawa Paranormal Society. For the first time in many moons, Halloween has fallen on a Friday – a most auspicious day for a paranormal investigation at Watson’s Mill. Investigators from the paranormal society will visit the mill between 7 and 11 p.m. on Oct. 31 armed with special equipment to sense activity from the other side. Trueman said the last time Halloween fell on a Friday – in 2008 – the paranormal investigation proved more lucrative than usual. “Let’s just say there was a lot of activity on that particular night,” he said. Tickets are $25 each. Call to reserve at 613-692-6455 or get them online.

She said she loves the history of folk music. Whalen’s home is a testament to her ancestry with stained glass windows, medieval goblets and a life-size suit of armour in her dining room. Her kitchen is filled with inspirational quotes about singing, such as, “Don’t sing in the

shower, perform.” The track selection for her latest CD required some research. “Some of the verses of songs I was singing were hundreds of years old,” she said, adding most of the older works were part of the oral tradition and didn’t get put to paper until the creation of the piano. Whalen said in her research, she found songs like She’s Like the Swallow – traditionally thought to be a Newfoundland folk song – actually came from the United Kingdom. “It’s a trans-Atlantic love song,” Whalen said, adding the research was almost as interesting as the singing itself. Whalen said the second CD, which she recorded in a westend united church with Penrhos Productions, was easier to compile than the first. “I learned a lot the first time around,” she said. “Since the first I have worked on developing my technique.”

Dragon Boat team members share tales of breast cancer survial John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - They are all breast cancer battlers. They are all also dragon boat paddlers. And now their individual stories are together in the pages of Shelagh Needham’s recently published book “All In The Same Boat.” Shelagh, a Stittsville resident, who is a breast cancer survivor herself and who has been a dragon boat team member for 14 years, decided to write this book featuring the life stories of members of Busting Out, Ottawa’s dragon boat team of breast cancer survivors. She wanted to tell these stories of her dragon boat teammates to make the point that it is not cancer

that defines these women; rather, it’s the live that they have all lived, the people that they have met along the way of life and the dreams that they have that are not yet realized. Shelagh is hoping that this book will encourage newly diagnosed breast cancer survivors to realize that there is light at the end of the dark tunnel of breast cancer. This may be in the form of a dragon boat but it could take many other forms as well. She had been thinking about writing such a book for years, feeling that the Busting Out team members sit beside each other in the dragon boat but really are not aware of each other’s life stories. And it is these life stories that tells most about the person. “Cancer is not what defines us,”

Shelagh says. For Shelagh herself, she faced a pessimistic breast cancer diagnosis but she survived and paddles twice a week at Mooney’s Bay with the Busting Out dragon boat team of breast cancer survivors. She does this even though she admits that she has never done anything particularly sports-related. She notes, though, that for her the dragon boating is not about winning but is more about being together with others. The team stays active in the wintertime with fitness classes and even parties. The book “All In The Same Boat” tells the life stories of 46 of the Busting Out team members. While some team members did not want to be interviewed, many agreed and Shelagh herself inter-

viewed each one, taping the conversation and then writing up the story. She then provided the article to the person for double checking before the story went into the book. She discovered that while some have lived fairly regular, normal lives, some stories are particularly fascinating. She says that each story is totally different, with those interviewed ranging in age from 35 to 83. Carmel Wright of Kanata is the 83 year old member of busting Out. The oldest team member, she has lived all across Canada and also in Germany as her husband was in the military. Team member Jai Mathu of Manotick, who is a Fullbright scholar, was born and brought up in the Himalayas. Elisabeth Arbuckle of Nepean is a widely-exhibited artist as well as a keen sailor. Since her diagnosis, Janice Gray of Ottawa has almost reached base camp on Mount Everest and got a Masters in public ethics. Margot Silver of Ottawa specializes in olive oils and balsamic vinegars which she personally searches out in Italy. Ofelia Webster of Ottawa is from the Phillipines where she overcame early struggles and eventually moved to Canada.

Peggy Cumming of Ottawa has climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, has taken part in Ottawa’s Winterlude triathlon 28 times, has trekked the Himalayas and last year swam five kilometers a day between islands in Croatia. Maureen Colenutt of Richmond is a retail district manager while Sheila Murphy of Richmond consults with church pastors and lay members with Christian Reformed churches from Ottawa to the Maritimes. Janet Corbett is another Richmond resident involved with the Busting Out team. Despite her cancer battles, she is considered one of the most positive members on the team. The book also contains a glossary of breast cancer terms to help the reader understand the terms associated with breast cancer. The book was printed about two months ago but it was only recently that Shelagh held a book launch which was held at the Nepean Sailing Club. A percentage of the sale of each book will go to the Busting Out dragon boat team of breast cancer survivors and also to Breast Cancer Action of Ottawa, the group’s umbrella organization. Copies of the book can be obtained from Shelagh Needham at sneedham@rogers.com.

How well are consumers protected in Ontario’s retail energy market? That’s the question the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) is looking at with its review of the Energy Consumer Protection Act. The Act deals with energy retailing to low-volume consumers in the province. Just over 300 thousand residential and small business consumers in Ontario currently have contracts with electricity retailers; 362,000 have contracts with natural gas marketers. Please visit www.ECPAreview.ca and fill out the on-line survey to share your views on consumer protection with the OEB.

Science and tech museum recognized for educators’ workshops Erin McCracken

News - A summer camp at the Canada Science and Technology Museum that draws elementary school teachers from across Canada has won an award of excellence. Since 2011, the museum’s Summer Institute for Elementary Teachers has attracted 132 elementary teachers from across the country, from British Columbia and the Yukon to Newfoundland and Labrador, who hope to learn new strategies in teaching science, technology, engineering and mathematics The three-day hands-on workshops, held every July, earned the Ontario Museum Association’s award of excellence in programs, one of seven awards announced Oct. 16 at the association’s annual conference in Alliston, Ont. “Think of this as like a summer camp for teachers. They get to do a ton of stuff and help understand the science concept of it, and it’s all

replicable in the classroom,” said Sandra Corbeil, director of education for the Canada Science and Technology Museums Corporation, which manages three museums, including the Canada Science and Technology Museum, the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum and the Canada Aviation and Space Museum. Each summer, teachers are taught how to craft science experiments using inexpensive, everyday items, from Popsicle sticks to markers – ideas they can take back to their classrooms. “Yes, of course they need to understand the concepts but it’s always done in a very engaging and hands-on kind of environment,” Corbeil said. “So they walk away with ideas and things. Their bags are usually so full some teachers have to ship stuff back because they’ve built so much.” One year, teachers crafted working telescopes from Pringles potato chip containers. “We try to give them the

The Canada Science and Technology Museum has won an award for its Summer Institute for Elementary Teachers from the Ontario Museum Association. The summer workshop has attracted teachers from across Canada, who take part in training designed to help them foster a love of science among children from kindergarten to Grade 6. sense that making a science experiment or … exploring science doesn’t take fancy equipment,” she said, adding for that reason, the workshops are typically sold out each summer. “Our first year we set our

capacity to 25 and we booked full. Each year we add a few spots because of demand,” said Corbeil, adding the museum typically receives about 60 applications a year from teachers hoping to take part. “One of the reasons why

our Summer Institute is so successful is because we include the family,” she said. Families of participating teachers are welcome to come to Ottawa and while the educator in their family takes part in the workshop, they can enjoy using free passes to the corporation’s three museums. A family barbecue is also held. Some of the travel costs for participating teachers are offset thanks to Fluor Canada, an energy sector company based in western Canada. During the museum’s professional learning workshops, experts in fields ranging from geological science to astronomy, along with the museum’s team of educators and curators, instruct on topics ranging from algebra to electricity. “It’s intensely pulling from the experts on the museum’s staff, so the educational expertise or the conservation expertise,” Corbeil said. Guest instructors are also brought in each year to add to the bilingual programming.

Teachers also get the chance to visit the museum after hours, take in its behindthe-scenes collection and go on a field trip during the summertime adventure. The Ontario Museum Association’s award of excellence in programs is presented to individuals, institutions, corporations or agencies for programming that engages new audiences or provides exemplary service to existing audiences in a creative way. The dates for the next summer workshop have not been finalized, though not due to the recent closure of the museum, but rather because they want to develop a schedule that would be convenient for applicants, said Corbeil. Mould was discovered in the south wall of the facility in September, and staff were evacuated when air quality tests showed unacceptable levels of airborne mould were present. Officials have said the museum won’t open to the public until at least January.
