Reflecting heritage key to good projects, architect says Laura Mueller

News - Taking cues from a neighbourhood’s history can ease development tensions, a local architect says. Fresh from being presented with an urban design award by the city, infill architect James Colizza revealed some of the secrets of his success during Heritage Canada Foundation’s annual conference. The trick, he said, is to develop plans that speak to an evolution of the community’s history. “A lot of (builders) that come into urban situations have a preconceived notion of what they’d like to do because they’re comfortable with it,” he said.

going, making the total cost to the city is now $34 million compared to $31.7 million estimated in 2011. It’s worth it, said Mayor Jim Watson. “There was a strong desire, certainly on my part, to see that we invest in a significant facility for arts and culture in the downtown core,” he said. “When you look at all of our
big capital spending projects, they are primarily recreation and in the suburbs … and there was really no significant infrastructure project in the downtown core.” The project might still see a bit of money from the Canada Cultural Spaces fund, said SAW Video director Penny McCann. She said some of the groups that will be tenants in
the new building plan to apply to the grant program to cover the cost of equipment and fixtures as part of the $3.2 million the groups will be required to contribute. The lion’s share of that will be paid through fundraising efforts led by the Ottawa Art Gallery, McCann said. Fundraising that amount isn’t a burden on the groups, who see the project

Firefighters Association will sit down with a facilitator to attempt to reach an agreement – one that can eventually be set in stone through legislation. “We’re committed to building a system that’s fair to municipalities and taxpayers,” said Naqvi, adding this represents a “starting over” from the efforts of spring, 2012, when a bill with similar intentions failed to pass in legislature after being rejected by the opposition Progressive Conservative and New Democratic parties. In spring of this year, a PC-crafted bill aimed at arbitration reform also bit the dust after it was shunned by the Liberal and NDP parties. Lack of progress on the issue has led to much consternation at the municipal level at budget time, most visibly in the form of the Ottawa Police Service budget and frustrations expressed publicly by Ottawa police services board chairman Eli El-Chantiry. An arbitrated raise of just under three per cent for the years 2011 and 2012 had to be added to the 2013 budget, throwing finances into disarray. “The intention is to bring (the three groups) together to develop a consensus around a set of reforms that is fair,” said Naqvi, adding that having a Friends of the Central consensus between the groups would Experimental Farm be more likely to garner opposition support. “(This) will be far better in terms of the result it will create than a uni-

Literacy and learning behind Rotary Club initiative Dictionaries4Life project gives Grade 3 students a resource they can treasure Steph Willems
steph.willems@metroland.com
TICO#50007364
Community - In the age of the Internet, when information is often just a click away, there is still a place for a trusty book. That’s the reasoning behind a growing initiative among Ottawa-area Rotary Clubs, which are currently distributing pictorial dictionaries to Grade 3 classrooms at schools across the city. The Dictionaries4Life Project began three years ago as the brainchild of Linda Flynn, former president of the Rotary Club of West Ottawa and chairwoman of the committee overseeing the project. “It started as a pilot project with three schools that we had an affiliation with,” said Flynn, who first stumbled onto the book while at a conference in 2010.
“I loved it – it was beautiful,” she said. “(At the time) I was looking for a literary project to do in the local community. We recognized there are needs in the community and settled at a Grade 3 level as our target.” This year, over 600 of the United Kingdom-published illustrated dictionaries will find their way into the hands of third graders at 14 Ottawa schools. Seven of the nine Rotary Clubs in the Ottawa area are currently on board with the project. Literacy is one of the main areas of focus of Rotary International, the club’s parent body. Already, the Rotary Club of West Ottawa operates a homework club in the communities of Michele Heights and Winthrop Court. The dictionaries handed out as part of Dictionaries4Life
are meant to be a lasting and useful keepsake for the students, one that compels them to read more and learn, thanks to the engaging visuals within. “The kids get a kick out of the books,” said Flynn. “They’re colourful and it gives them an incentive to read more.” Richard Fisher, a member of the Rotary Club of Ottawa, said club volunteers meet with the principal and teacher of the participating schools, then sit down to talk to the students about the importance of literacy. At the end of the meeting, the dictionaries are handed out to each student. “Sometimes people ask why, considering that we have Google and smartphones,” said Fisher. “But a fair number of kids in inner city schools are from low-income families. It’s also intended as a supplement.” A video describing the project is posted on the club’s website, which can be found at rotaryottawa.com.

Hydro Ottawa joins Councillor Qadri to celebrate St. Daniel School mural

566 Cataraqui Woods Dr., Kingston, ON K7P 2Y5
In September, students at St. Daniel School gave a makeover to the fence surrounding Hydro Ottawa’s transformer station near Woodroffe Avenue and Baseline Road. This new mural, painted on the cement wall which backs on to the school yard, was officially unveiled at a heart-warming ceremony held at the school on October 25th. The learning mural was created by artist Nicole Bélanger and depicts children enjoying sports and recreation throughout the four seasons. Funding for the project was provided by the City of Ottawa/Crime Prevention Ottawa Paint It Up! youth engagement mural program. Councillor Shad Qadri, Chair of the Board for Crime Prevention Ottawa, joined Hydro Ottawa staff to celebrate the mural with students, parents and teachers. The painting at St. Daniel School is part of a larger initiative to introduce outdoor classrooms, trees for shade and other natural spaces to facilitate learning, playing and socializing for students.. The process of planning, designing and creating the mural with students, teachers, parents and the community at large was a great kick-off to the school’s greening project and will build interest, excitement and pride in the school yard.

Aboriginal youth the focus of pilot project Motivate Canada’s GEN7 Aboriginal Role Model Program gets cash boost Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com
News - Students at Pelican Falls First Nations High School will soon be receiving virtual classroom visitors, part of a pilot project arranged by Hintonburg-based Motivate Canada. Members of the non-profit youth empowerment organization’s GEN7 Aboriginal role model program will connect with students at the Sioux Lookout, Ont.-area school on a weekly basis, with the hope of expanding the project to reach more schools. The pilot was made possible by a $40,000 grant from the State Farm youth advisory board. Role models from the program already visit First Nations communities, but this advancement will now allow regularly-scheduled, classroom-wide conversations to occur thanks to a two-way web link. The grant was presented at a Nov. 1 ceremony at Motivate Canada’s
Rosemount Avenue offices. “It’s things like this make us proud to support youth in Canada, because this program is obviously great – we wish them all the luck with it, and we’re hoping it brings great success,” said John Bordignon of State Farm. Bordignon said the youth advisory board that selects grant applications for funding is made up of young people age 17 to 20, delegating funds from a $5 million operating budget. On hand for the announcement were GEN7 program coordinator Rebekah Wilson and messenger Leland MacLeod, both of whom volunteer at the Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health. Kory Goulet is another GEN7 messenger who hails from Nipissing First Nation and works with youth in the northern Ontario community of Sabaskong. They later joined other staff and volunteers for a five-kilometre run to mark the new initiative.

John Bordignon of State Farm, left, is seen with Motivate Canada members Rebekah Wilson, Leland MacLeod and Kory Goulet at the non-profit’s Hintonburg offices on Nov. 1. Motivate Canada chief executive Don Adams said the organization will work with teachers within the Pelican Falls school to administer the conversations between students and role models. “The beauty of this (idea) is that it allows us to get into harder-toreach communities,” said Adams. “It all revolved around how we use sport, physical activity and healthy living to improve the life of youth, and help students learn.” Adams said that Motivate Canada’s mandate promotes living an active lifestyle that in turn improves mental and physical health, as well as learning and life outcomes. Many First Nations communities struggle with issues related to physical and mental health.

Downsized screening room to replace theatre in updated plan Continued from page 1
The city will shift $2 million in savings on more limited upgrades to the Ottawa Baseball Stadium and $1 million from a cancelled film studio into the Arts Court project. Another $1.6 million per year in operating money the city had already budgeted for 2014-16 – totaling $4.8 million – because the new facility was expected to have opened will instead be used to build it. The city also thinks it can get more money – $4.5 million – for the air rights for a privately developed tower on the northeast corner of the property. Also, a $6 million provincial grant has accrued an extra $500,000 in interest. CHANGES
Financial pressures, changing needs and a more detailed level of design mean the new Arts Court plans look a bit different than those presented in the spring.
SUBMITTED
Preliminary images show a rough idea of what an expansion of Arts Court would look like, including the size of a tower that could be built by a private developer as a way for the city to generate revenue for the project. The changes would completely remove a 350-seat theatre that was contemplated in previous plans. The theatre would have required more space
than originally thought – at double the cost – so the city is planning to build a 250-seat screening and multi-purpose room in its place. A smaller screening

room was originally supposed to be built in a repurposed space inside the existing facility, which the city determined is not actually feasible. McCann was very pleased by the investment in space proposed for the media arts. “Media arts have grown in this building and has surpasses capacity in all levels,” she said. “We’re very excited about the project.” The Arts Court Theatre’s space at 2 Daly St. wouldn’t be affected by that change, its spokesman Greggory Clark said, and neither would the Ottawa Dance Directive, according to its executive director, Yvonne Coutts. The change doesn’t mean the new centre would be smaller, said RideauVanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury, it just means a change to how the space is being divvied up. “Sure, it’s a different plan,” Fleury said. “It’s that it’s just not needed. We have to make choices in a project. I think we’re still delivering on the vision.” It was decided that a large new theatre space was redundant because other venues nearby, including the Bytowne Cinema and the French-language theatre, La Nouvelle Scène, offer similar-sized spaces. The Ottawa Art Gallery would get
slightly more space on five floors and two mezzanine floors instead of three floors, as originally planned. The University of Ottawa would also receive – and pay for – a larger space in the expanded facility. The university’s share would jump from 891 square metres to 1,610 square metres, including the planned blackbox theatre and the addition of four classrooms. A reduction in parking is more concerning for Fleury. While residents who live in the city’s core can easily hop on transit to get to Arts Court, many patrons come from farther afield and will need to drive, he said. “For some of the arts groups, that’s worrisome,” he said. A 160-space parking garage may not be enough, but there are a couple ways around it. If the developer who buys the air rights to build a residential, hotel or office tower at the northeast corner of the site wants more parking, the company could pay to build it. It’s also possible to work out agreements with nearby hotels and the Rideau Centre to have patrons use their parking garages, Fleury said. If everything goes to the city’s new plan, a bigger Arts Court would open in 2017.
Ottawa Student Transportation Authority workers vote to strike Management working on contingency plan in case
bargaining unit moves ahead with job action Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com
News - Parents in Ottawa might be getting nervous after hearing word of a vote that could affect how their kids get to school. On Oct. 31, it was announced that members of the Ottawa Student TransportationAuthority-Educational Support Professionals bargaining unit of the Secondary School Teacher’s Federation had voted unanimously in favour of a strike mandate. The workers covered by the bargaining unit are responsible for arranging and co-ordinating transportation for the English public and Catholic school boards in Ottawa, as well as for visually and hearing impaired children under the Provincial Schools Authority. Together, approximately 60,000 students could be affected by the vote. Bargaining unit president Nancy Akehurst stated in a media release that the workers have been operating without a contract since August of 2012.
“Our goal is to negotiate a fair agreement for our members who have been patiently waiting for a deal with our employer for over a year,” said Akehurst. OSSTF president Paul Elliott touted the unanimous vote as a “sign of solidarity” that demonstrates support of the collective bargaining process. OSTA general manager Vicky Kyriaco was quick to allay fears of a potential strike, stating that “nothing is a done deal,” and that the process of negotiating the contract for September, 2012 to August, 2014 is ongoing. “It’s one step in the bargaining process – it gives their union executives a mandate to proceed with bargaining,” said Kyriaco. “It’s business as usual (at OSTA) until we’ve exhausted all steps in the bargaining process.” The timeline for negotiations isn’t set in stone, said Kyriaco, adding that the organization is working on a contingency plan to keep vehicles on the road should a strike occur. The Ottawa public board did not return a request for comment by this newspaper’s print deadline.

Accessibility renovations – not just for old people
M
ore than two-thirds of Canadian homeowners are expected to renovate this year, according to a poll released by Scotiabank last month. For most, home renovations will account for the largest lump sum of money they’ll ever spend at once. But how much forethought are people putting into remodelling? “People can be pretty cavalier about adding a bathroom, kitchen or addition,” says Moneca Kaiser, the owner of Moneca Kaiser Design Build in Ottawa. “They’re thinking, ‘I want a new kitchen now,’ but they don’t take time to think about how their family will interact in and with that space for the next 10, 20 or 50 years.” Good design, says Kaiser, is not static. Real design is “flexible, multi-faceted and adaptable.” “People often think of blueprints as design,” says Kaiser. “But a blueprint is just one of the tools in design. You’re going to have a blueprint for what you need right now, and another
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse blueprint for what you may need if your in-laws move in temporarily or if you break your leg.” True design, she says, is fluid and dynamic. Design is living and takes into account the lifecycle and environment of the people living in a space or interacting with an object – and it considers both the present and the future of the space. Kaiser is writing a book called “Curing Dysfunctional House Syndrome.” In it, she outlines her own design program developed over the past two-and-a-half decades as a designer and carpenter, which includes an extensive investigation of the people for which she’s designing. “I start every project by asking people what their values are,” says Kaiser. “I take them through a four-page
exercise to get to the heart of what’s really important to them. If I value family life, that’s going to require a certain kind of kitchen. If, on the other hand, I value efficiency, that’s going to require an entirely different space.” Kaiser delves further into her clients’ lives, getting to know everything from their state of health and their age, the people around them, who they spend time with, their favourite recipes, even how much money they make. “If I’m doing a kitchen and my client says they have a goal to eat healthier, I’m going to figure out what I can do in that kitchen to make it easier for them to make more salads,” Kaiser explains. And as Canada faces the challenge of an aging population, design becomes ever-
more important, particularly in home renovations. Hard built-in components of standard heights that are mass-produced by manufacturers are not going to suffice. On the other hand, says Kaiser, things like cabinets on castors and counters with different elevations can accommodate the now – say a couple who are different heights – and the future if one day someone needs space and height required to prepare food in a wheelchair, for example. “And if people are thoughtful in design, they may integrate a ledge, just at the right height beside the toilet, that can be used as a grab bar if there’s ever a need,” says Kaiser. “It doesn’t scream convalescence because, as part of the design, it’s almost invisible, yet it’s completely efficient and effective.” As Ottawa makes efforts toward a city that’s more senior-friendly, regulators and developers also need to be thinking about flex-housing and design on a larger scale. The modern response to
urban density seems to be stacked townhomes, where people live on multiple levels. This type of design has replaced the popular horizontal duplex of the last century, where families lived on a single floor, but shared property. But as Kaiser notes, it’s a lot more difficult to think about installing ramps, integrating a main floor powder
room with shower floor, or cordoning off a dining room to be used for convalescence if people are living on multiple levels. “People are not taking enough time with design,” says Kaiser. “We pay lip service to it, but design isn’t pretty pictures and blueprints. It requires very deep engagement with the people using it and it has to be flexible.”

Just do it, for art’s sake
I
t’s time the city put its full weight behind the Arts Court expansion after patching together funding to get the long-running project off the ground. The expansion will now cost the city $34 million. The federal government was asked to pitch in $9 million to go along with $6 million contributed by the province – money originally allocated for a performing arts centre on Elgin Street before those plans fell through – but declined to help out. The city has now approved an extra $8.2 million to make up for the federal share. Mayor Jim Watson is enthusiastic about the project, saying it’s a rare opportunity to build this type of infrastructure in the downtown core. “There was a strong desire certainly on my part to see that we invest in a significant facility for arts and culture in the downtown core,� he said. This project is a boon to the arts community, and will provide space to nurture and promote creative endeavours. It has the potential to not just help the Ottawa arts scene, but to also attract artists from outside the capital to what should be a wonderful new facility. But the city needs to take one further step to help the Arts Court reach its full potential: foot the whole
bill. As it stands, the current Arts Court tenants will be on the hook for $3.2 million of the expansion cost. While they may be happy to raise the money in exchange for the improved facilities, couldn’t that money be put to better use by those tenants? That sum – $3.2 million – is no small change in the artistic world. It could go a long way toward making art, rather than paying for equipment and fixtures for the expanded facility. Why then isn’t the city just coming up with another $3.2 million? There was money allocated in the budget for a great many things, a budget featuring the lowest property tax increase of the current council term at 1.9 per cent. Adding an extra few million wouldn’t have changed that amount in any noticeable way. The argument could be made that if the tenants have a stake in paying for the expansion, it will make for a stronger partnership. The tenants already have a significant stake in the project: they were involved at every step of the planning process so far. There’s no reason to believe they would all of a sudden take such a small gesture by the city for granted. In light of multi-billion dollar transit visions, significant stadium renewals and extensive road renovations, surely the city can come up with a few extra million to help a worthwhile arts project.

Taking a small risk to right the wrongs of the world
G
ame 3 ended on a play that had never been seen before in a baseball World Series: a St. Louis Cardinals runner thrown at home plate was called safe because it was ruled that he had been obstructed by a Boston Red Sox player. A terrible ruckus ensued but the call stood. The run the umpires allowed to count was the winning run in the game. Even people who were delighted that Boston lost were a bit chagrined at the call. There had been no intent to obstruct (although that turned out to be irrelevant). More important, it just seemed like an unfortunate way for a game that had been exciting and well-played to end – with an umpire’s interpretation of an obscure rule. No one was really happy about it – although it could safely be said that the Red Sox’ unhappiness exceeded that of the Cardinals. But since these were professional players with professional umpires and a professional rule book, there was no alternative, no going back. Which is too bad, because if the game had been played by little kids, the outcome would have been much more satisfactory. When little kids play games, as memory serves, a controversial play such as that one would spark an intense argument, but there

Therefore, the kids would fall back on a tried-and-tested solution: “Take it over,� someone would say, and they would all agree on that. The play would be repeated, probably with an outcome that no one could argue about and that would be that. That methodology survives to this day and is not reserved for children. Adult players of games such as tennis will sometimes use it, when there is no agreement on whether a ball was in or out. “Play it again,� someone will suggest, and they will. It’s a good solution: the game is won or lost without the bitterness of controversy. And it makes you wonder whether “take it over� might usefully be applied to other aspects of life.

Take the Senate. Please. Suppose Nigel Wright could have said “take it over� after writing Mike Duffy the cheque. That would have been better for him and the prime minister, if not for Mike Duffy. Going back even earlier, the prime minister might have wanted to say “take it over� after making the original appointment of Duffy to the Senate. And going back even further, the Fathers of Confederation might, in retrospect, have wanted to say “take it over� after creating the Senate in the first place. A lot of work has to be done on this concept, no matter how useful it might seem on the surface. How many take-it-overs should any one person be allowed? Under what conditions might “take-it-over� be accepted or rejected? And, inevitably, is “take it over� a federal or provincial responsibility? Further, there is a need for a cultural shift, as people learn to shed their winner-take-all mentality and accept the notion that a defeated or hideously embarrassed person deserves another chance. But once we got over the initial awkwardness, we might be pleasantly surprised at the number of improved results in our day-today living and the life of our governmental
institutions. Now, you have to be careful with this. As readers of Stephen King will know, taking it over does not always produce the best result. In his novel 11/22/63, King’s protagonist journeys back in time with the intention of preventing the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Along the way he prevents other small mishaps from happening, and this version of taking it over causes all sorts of unintended calamities. Still, it might be worth the risk if it could prevent the Senate scandal, not to mention the Senate itself, as well as the obstruction call at third base.

Condo towers aren’t healthy, expert tells forum News - Urban psychologist Suzanne Crowhurst Lennard delivered a warning against a proliferation of condo towers during a speech Oct. 23. Suburbs aren’t the only isolating environment for people to live in, she told a crowd gathered for her Urban Forum talk at city hall. Living in towers can be very lonely, too. “People who have neighbours and acquaintances they meet daily don’t get sick as often as those who are isolated,” Crowhurst Lennard said. “The social fabric we’ve invented is what is helping keep us well.” Crowhurst Lennard is an architect but her work focuses on how architecture and city-making affects social interaction, health and quality of life. Much of her research involves how to make cities and spaces more liveable for children and seniors. Public spaces like squares and parks are the most important factor, especially for children, she said. It’s where they learn about social interaction, social roles and empathy for people who are different from them, she said. “We need these kinds of places where an intergenerational commu-
nity can develop,” Crowhurst Lennard said. Children and teens are spending an increasing amount of time alone, she said – an average of 3.5 hours a day for teens, which is more time than they spend with family and friends. So it’s not surprising that social anxiety disorder is also on the rise, she said. “Shyness is epidemic,” she said. “This medical problem has now come about because young people aren’t getting enough socialization.” A similar effect is happening in the elderly population, Crowhurst Lennard said. “Both extremes cause social isolation,” she said. Cities need a mix of public spaces to boost people’s health and happiness, she said. True public spaces, like public squares, are key, but semi-private spaces like outdoor cafes and farmers’ markets are also important “hosts” in the public realm. That’s fine, Michael Mizzi, the city’s chief of development review, said during the discussion. But he said the conundrum is homebuyers are still making the comparatively less-healthy choice of living in the suburbs.
“All these people who live on quaint cul-de-sacs in suburbia travel to these urban squares on vacations to Europe,” he said. “Yet they choose to live where they live. “(Developers) are only building what the people want,” he said. Crowhurst Lennard said the narrative is shifting away from the suburbs being sold as “the” place to raise a family, but there is still progress to be made in ensuring urban cores have the facilities and spaces people need. But the urban fabric around those places is what is needed to support life in public spaces, Crowhurst Lennard said. Dense development is key, but it’s also ideal for shops, restaurants and other types of businesses to be mixed into the residential areas, Crowhurst Lennard said. She promotes something like the Paris model, where most buildings are six storeys tall, but they are packed together with shops on the ground floors. Ensuring businesses and services are located where people live promotes independent mobility for all ages – both children and seniors can get around more easily when they don’t have to travel far. That also means traffic calming and promoting walking and cycling are needed in order to make that mo-
bility work. Gentrification can also have a negative impact on health if it prices lower-income residents out of their neighbourhoods, said Crowhurst Lennard.
The same public spaces that help keep people healthy also make the area more desirable – and therefore, more expensive. “It’s a problem no city has actually solved,” she said.

A Day of
Remembrance
Every November 11th, Canadians pause in a silent moment of remembrance for the men and women who served their country during wartime and in the cause of peace. More than 1,500,000 Canadians served overseas—in the First World War (1914-18), the Second World War (1939-45), and the Korean War (1950-53). More than 100,000 died. We honour their sacrifice and the sacrifices of our soldiers today, who serve so we may live in peace.

Definition of ‘heritage’ open for debate Continued from page 1
“You really can’t do that.” It starts with research, Colizza said: who lived in the neighbourhood in the past and why did they build their homes the way they did? How did the pattern of lot sizes and the fabric of buildings get to be the way it is now? “Make your story reflect the story of the neighbourhood,” he said. “The neighbourhood associations today are smart and sophisticated and you’re not going to fool them.” That’s what Colizza and his partners did when they wanted to replace a single home on Armstrong Street in Hintonburg with six new homes. “We speak to all the community associations and we’re not always successful, but you have to ask the questions and go through the process,” Colizza said. “By and large, they like the idea, because the idea came out of the history of the place.” Instead of building one midrise apartment or condo building, Colizza broke his development up into six smaller homes – not unlike the small, workclass homes that set the tone for the development of Hintonburg.
The community association likes the new development, dubbed the Hintonburg Six, and a city jury liked it, too. It was given the award of excellence for urban low-rise infill during the Ottawa Urban Design Awards last month. Jay Baltz, former president of the Hintonburg Community Association, also spoke during the session, and prompted the heritage professionals in the audience to remember that most residents don’t have the same perception of heritage as an expert does. “They’re talking about the character of their established area … and what’s valuable about keeping it,” Baltz said. That’s why playing off an area’s heritage in the design of new infill homes can have as much of an effect as heritage protections and designations, Colizza said. “Infill design is about knitting into an existing built fabric,” he said. “If you want to fit into the fabric, you really have to know the fabric that you’re trying to fit into. “It’s not only that you get informed,” he said. “If you open your eyes, you also get some inspiration from the photos, the documentation.”

Singer-songwriter wins award for song about sisters Orléans performer honoured by Ontario Arts Council Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com
Arts - Leila Goldberger made the right decision to record her song Sisters, several years after she wrote and performed the song as a surprise gift at her own sister’s wedding. While it was frightening for her to put her song out in the public, it was rewarded with the Colleen Peterson Songwriting Award from the Ontario Art Council. “It’s a very personal thing and easy to get sidetracked by self-doubt and fear,” Goldberger said. “I decided recently to just let that go and be myself. The award came shortly after.” She’s been writing and performing songs since she was a child, including while a student at Cairine Wilson Secondary School. “I’ve always written poems or songs or things like that, and I started playing guitar when I was probably about seven,” she said. “High school’s where I really started to write full songs.” Goldberger’s sister asked her to

Leila Goldberger recently won the Colleen Peterson Songwriting Award from the Ontario Art Council for her song Sisters. perform at her wedding several years ago. Instead of singing a generic cover, Goldberger wrote her own song about the relationship between sisters. It’s that song that won her the
award from the Ontario Arts Council in October, at a gala dinner held in Mississauga. She won the award, called a songwriting award, though she performs all the songs that she writes. Besides
singing, she plays the acoustic guitar on her own tracks. “Leila Goldberger was the clear winner – her song’s excellence stood out throughout the competition,” said the jurors in a press release from the
Ontario Arts Council. “We loved the melody, loved the idea and wanted a sister just like in the song.” Goldberger doesn’t have any upcoming performances in the area, but would like to start performing more often. “Music is definitely something I’d like to be doing more of, so this is serendipitous,” she said. “It helps me move in that direction. The plan now is to go back into the studio and record a debut album.” The award came with a $1,000 cash prize, which she plans to use to pay for studio time. Still living in Orléans, Goldberger works from home, operating a graphic design, project management and web design company. But she’d like to start spending more time on her music, and hopefully play some folk festivals in the near future. The song is available on iTunes, and can be found on the music website www.reverbnation.com. She can be found on Facebook under Leila Bird Music.

Glebe heritage group to start wave of new projects Committee reaching out to homeowners for input, research of historic area Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND
With one heritage district designated, the Glebe Community Association’s heritage committee announced it will start research and consultations regarding another area the group see as historic.
News - The Glebe Community Association’s heritage committee is getting ready to start actively researching important buildings and homes in the neighbourhood with an eye towards getting even more of the historic neighbourhood officially designated. The heritage committee announced its intent to seek designation of all or part of the western part of the Clemora Park/Estates West area at the community association’s last meeting on Oct. 22. The goal, according to the committee’s chairwoman Johanna Persohn, is to get more residents motivated to learn about and promote heritage in the Glebe. “We hope that we can get the residents interested in the history of their homes and the shared history of the areas we hope to designate,” Persohn said. The committee announced it will undertake many informal community consultations to ensure that residents concerns, desires and needs are taken into consideration throughout the heritage designation process as well as to give homeowners the tools to conduct their own research. “We hope to have at least a little bit on the homes in our
study area to pique their interest as well,” she said. “We also hope to explain to residents what designation means to them and what is involved. We are very committed to consulting and involving residents, and do see it as an important part. It makes the designation process smoother and more successful, and as a community association we want to support things that are in the interest of the majority of residents.” Christine McAllister, president of the community association, agreed and said that this initiative is first and foremost about working with residents. “We are interested in engaging residents. This project will be all about working together,” she said. The group will send out and flyers informing residents about upcoming meetings and consultations prior to making any formal heritage designation request to the city. Persohn said that the committee’s initial response is that people are interested and open to the idea of designating more homes and areas in the Glebe. “People love their streets and the feel of their neighbourhood. Much of this feeling is because of the heritage homes and the unique streetscape offered by the
streets in our study area.” The consultation process and the study will mainly focus on the next potential heritage district, but the committee will also begin looking at the possibility of designating individual buildings in the community. Persohn said the group is still working on developing a plan for individual designations, but have started some small discussion with city heritage planners about this idea. While the group will be taking on the bulk amount of research for the project, Persohn said that residents are welcome to share research or start their own research on their homes or others in the neighbourhood. “The more residents researching their own homes the better, as it’s a great way for people to learn more about not only their homes, but the history and heritage of their communities and we hope will lead to residents having a greater understanding of the significance of their heritage homes,” she said. “The committee members are able to do the research, but we are always happy and looking for people who would like to assist in the project, or even to just research their own home and share their research with us.” Residents interested in getting involved in the research, or to learn more about the project are invited to contact Persohn by email at heritage@glebeca.ca.

Maison FraternitĂŠ celebrates 50 years of service michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - A Vanier rehabilitation and treatment centre is celebrating 50 years of service with a huge thank you to all those who have supported the organization over the years. Maison FraternitĂŠ opened its doors in 1962, and since the mid-1970s has been a part of the Vanier community, with three locations in the neighbourhood. On Oct. 25, the centre celebrated the milestone by acknowledging former staff and clients memories at a party at the Richelieu-Vanier Community Centre. More than 250 people attended the event and executive director Yvon Lemire said the event was about showing off the work his staff does everyday. “Our focus is on the clients,â€? Lemire said. “We wanted it to be their evening. It was a very joyful, very heartfelt and real.â€? The centre handed out certificates to some former clients who were celebrating years of sobriety. Lemire said at that point, the celebration became very emotional. The treatment centre got its start when three organizations, the Commissariat du Tiers-Ordre d’Ottawa, Les Chantiers d’Emmaus and the SocietĂŠ StVincent de Paul de la Paroisse St-Francois d’Assise decided to create a shelter for the homeless. The first location was in Hintonburg, where it remained until 1975. The transition from a shelter to a treatment centre happened early on. “We realized we could do
more. That we could help,â€? Lemire said. The organization began offering counselling for drug and alcohol users 1966 and it was around this time that Lemire got his own start as a counselor at the centre. “I worked here for seven years, left for a long time and actually recently returned this past year,â€? he explained. The executive director said in the beginning, he believed substance abuse could come to an end, but nearly 30 years later in his career, he said he believes substance abuse for some people is a part of life. “I always dreamed my job would not be needed by the year 2000, but now I see the need is increasing,â€? he said. Lemire credits this increase to the way some people choose to cope with stresses in their lives, adding it then becomes a bigger problem when the coping mechanism becomes the addiction. For Maison FraternitĂŠ, coping with life’s stresses and triggers that create substance abuse is the biggest part of what it does. “Abstinence is half the battle,â€? Lemire said. “We try to identify the triggers and stresses that give them the reason to use. We aim to give them the tools so they don’t relapse. We see ourselves as the healing piece.â€? The centre’s three Vanier locations offer services primarily for Franco-Ontarian men, women and youth. Clients come from across Ontario for its day programs and residential programs. “We are located in what we consider the stronghold of

Lemire added most of the community, except for the organization’s closest neighbours, may not even know what they do. One of the main goals the organization has with its 50th anniversary celebrations, Lemire said, is to help create awareness in the Vanier and Ottawa community to the type of programs the organization does. “We are kind of anonymous in this community,â€? he said. “There is still such a stigma attached to addictions. Men-
tal health awareness is seeing many champions come out to support it, which is what we need for addictions.� Part of that awareness program was a fun “lip dub� video
which features the entire staff, singing a song about the centre. “We wanted to do something different and upbeat for the celebration, but also do

Infill rules will do little in post-war neighbourhoods: residents Projects will still be incompatible if committee of adjustment has the final word, participants say Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Increasing the size of back and side yards is fine, residents told city planners during an Oct. 29 meeting, but what about front yards? The information session and workshop on the second phase of the city’s new rules to make infill better fit into existing neighbourhoods revealed a conundrum for “outer urban” neighbourhoods – the post-war areas that were suburbs of the former city of Ottawa. When the city first looked at infill rules last year, it created rules for front yards, parking and trees for the core urban neighbourhoods – but not the old suburbs. Now that the second phase of the study has been expanded at the wishes of councillors, city planners are faced with a set of rules that have a glaring hole for the outer-urban neighbourhoods: no frontyard rules. “I don’t know how you can deal with side yards and back
LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND
City planner Steve Gauthier presents new rules for infill homes during an information session and workshop at the Nepean Sportsplex on Oct. 29. yards without dealing with front yards,” Fisher Heights Community Association president Bob McCaw said, encapsulating the confusion expressed by many of the 15 or so participants at the meeting at the Nepean Sportsplex. Hand-tied city planners tried to explain how they planned to ask city coun-
cil to apply parts of the first phase of the infill rules – especially those that deal with front yards – to outer urban neighbourhoods that weren’t included in that study. That can’t happen until appeals to the Ontario Municipal Board are wrapped up – hopefully before Part 2 of the rules is considered by
the planning committee on March 25, said Steve Gauthier, the planner in charge of the project. In the meantime, existing front-yard setback distances still apply, he said. Overall, the participants didn’t express many qualms with the rules Gauthier presented, which are intended
to limit the size of new infill homes without taking away property owners’ development potential – and with it, the value of their properties. For lots in many R1 subzones, which allow singlefamily homes, that means the maximum building height would be reduced from 11 metres and nine metres to 8.5 m. That would still allow a two-storey home with a pitched roof to be built, but it better reflects the pattern of building in neighbourhoods that have that zoning, Gauthier said. The old height limits were based purely on a bureaucratic exercise dating back to amalgamation, he said – the average height limits for the zoning from the former municipalities was applied. That meant some areas have higher allowable building heights than what had actually been constructed. The new rules aim to fix that discrepancy, Gauthier said. The trick is not to match the exact sizes of current homes, but to allow progress through intensification, he said.
“That’s where we have to be careful not to freeze development in time,” Gauthier said. “We had to find a balance between intensification that’s being promoted and neighbourhood character.” The new rules also look at things like putting more space between houses and limiting the distance things like staircases and balconies can project into side yards. But residents who attended the meeting in Nepean weren’t convinced the new rules would make much of a difference. McCaw was one of several people in attendance who pointed out that the committee of adjustment – which operates separately from the city government and approves or rejects minor zoning amendments – could still override the rules. “We’re hoping this will influence the committee of adjustment to make the intent (of the zoning bylaw) clearer,” Gauthier said. “We can cross our fingers that the committee of adjustment members in their authority will see the intent.”

Dickinson House honours local war efforts Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
News - Manotick’s role in Canada’s great wars will come alive at the Dickinson House this November. The Rideau Township Historical Society presents a special exhibit between Nov. 9 and 11 chronicling the Dickinson House in times of war. The exhibit follows Manotick’s contributions through the First World War, Second World War and the Korean War, personified through First World War soldier Hubert Stamp, who died in battle, and the five Spratt siblings who all served in the 1940s. “We’re hoping people will take away the examples of the types of contributions that local families made,” said Maureen McPhee, chairperson of the Dickinson House committee. The exhibit begins in the First World War. The parlour will be set up as though the ladies of the Manotick Women’s Institute
have just left the room: halffinished knit socks and scarves will be strewn about, and nightshirts will be under construction at the vintage sewing machines. McPhee said the women’s institute spent much of the First World War sewing and knitting to make care packages for local boys fighting overseas. Along with the necessities to keep soldiers warm in the trenches, the women also sent Christmas stockings and other treats to help morale, McPhee said. “We’re going to set up the room as if the women had just stood up and walked away,” she said. Alongside the knitting party, McPhee and her team have pulled together information and memorabilia belonging to Hubert Stamp, a local soldier who would have received some of these packages. Money from his pocket, letters and other clues to this soldier’s life will be on display. Visitors can then get to know the Spratt family, which
lived in Dickinson House from the early 1930s until 1948. All five surviving Spratt children (one died in childhood) served in the Second World War, including Helen Spratt. Helen served as a civilian cipher clerk in Gaspe, Que. unravelling radio frequency transmissions from German uboats in the North Atlantic. Using a system called highfrequency direction finding, land stations would triangulate their signals with signals received on Royal Canadian Navy ships to determine where the enemy submarines were hiding. Helen later became a chief cipher clerk for the navy. Her brother Charles, the oldest sibling, received a military medal of bravery for helping his platoon get past enemy lines in 1944. “During an attack he had a machine gun and he allowed his platoon to reach their objective,” McPhee said. William and Kenneth Spratt also signed up, although by the time Kenneth was done his

Residents query plans for roads, transit during budget meeting Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
News - Roads and transit were highlighted by residents who turned out at the city’s third public consultation on the 2014 draft budget at Nepean Sportsplex on Oct. 30. Kyle Peori, vice-president of the National Capital Heavy Construction Association, thanked council for its $45-million investment in resurfacing roads and asked if there was an appetite for a bigger tax increase to increase
the amount available for road reconstruction. Council is aiming for a 1.9 per cent tax increase, which is the smallest increase in seven years. Peori said topping up the increase to 2.5 per cent would allow for another $7 million to be spent on road infrastructure. “That’s about 20 to 30 kilometres of road,” Peori said. Mayor Jim Watson said the target for the tax increase was to match inflation – which is two per cent. “We have spent a record
amount on road resurfacing and rebuilding over the last three years,” he said. “I wouldn’t support a tax increase above inflation.” Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder echoed the mayor’s comment. “We placed an affordability lens on the TMP (transportation master plan), so we have control over when we complete projects, when we can afford it,” she said. “It’s ambitious.” Knoxdale and Baseline roads in Nepean are among R0012401257

the ones to be resurfaced under the city’s plan. “Baseline is badly in need of asphalt,” Piero said. “I often tell people I don’t get coffee when I am driving on Baseline because by the time I get to where I am going the cup will be empty.” Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt said his residents will be pleased with the improvements to Rideau Valley Drive. It will get a $2.6 million facelift, replacing the storm sewers, the road, curbs and sidewalks between Rogers Stevens and Dorack drives. “It’s something that needed to be done,” he said. Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches said residents are happy to see road improvements and other new infrastructure. “We are going to see five new parks in Ward 22,” Desroches said. TRANSIT

Catherine Gardner, a Bells Corners resident, asked council why her community pass – a discounted OC Transpo pass for recipients of Ontario Disability Support Program – is going up by 16 per cent, despite the fact that transit fare increases average 2.5 per cent. The pass is $35 per month, but users have to top up their fares by $2 if they ride ParaTranspo buses. “The cost of my pass has gone up by 20 per cent since 2012,” she said. Pat Scrimgeour, manager of transit planning for OC Transpo, said the move was to bring the cost of the pass in alignment with the seniors pass. “It’s still the most heavily discounted pass we have,” he said. Gardner also called for a monthly pass to be made

She said she accompanies her young granddaughter on the bus to go to school and other social activities. Being forced to pay per use is costly. “Between her father and I we pay almost $90 per month,” she said. Scrimgeour said if council directed staff to do so, they could look at a pass for chil-
dren. He added if a child were taking the bus twice a day, five days a week, the monthly cost will be more than $60. The city’s last public consultation on the budget is set for city hall on Nov. 7. Residents can also provide feedback by emailing budget2014@ottawa.ca. “I think we’re on the right track,” Desroches said.

Doctors rally to support Ottawa Mission $2,800 collected to buy new medical equipment Michelle Nash
michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - A group of Ottawa doctors emptied their wallets to help out a local palliative care facility recently. One hundred doctors held a conference at the beginning of October to discuss end-of-life needs and palliative care services and it was there that some of the organizers, including Manotick family practitioner Dr. Alykhan Abdulla, asked those in attendance to donate some money to the Ottawa Mission’s Diane Morrison Hospice. “We were there, motivated to talk about end-of-life,” Abdulla said. “One of the things we wanted to do is get a conversation going and because we had a group of all in one room, we thought it would be even better to get doctors to give a donation for an organization that was in most need.” The idea to donate that particular hospice, Abdulla said, was because of a fellow doctor at the conference.

Violence against women can take many forms: physical, sexual, psychological, verbal and financial. It’s not limited to a specific culture, income level or community where peo-

‘This type of donation promotes easier access to health care’ Continued from page 31
“Jeff Turnbull has a history with the mission, so we decided to help their palliative care facility,” he said. Turnbull’s organization, Ottawa Inner City Health, provides health services to the palliative care beds at the Ottawa Mission. The doctors collected $2,800 to be able to purchase a blood testing machine. Priced at $2,500, the doctors used the remaining funds to buy blankets, socks and underwear for the mission. “It will give our hospice clients easier access to blood results, especially those with different diseases,” said Shirley Roy, spokeswoman for the mission. The machine offers faster intervention and less hassle for blood work because it involves only a finger prick. “We just really appreciate
the recognition that these people are vulnerable; this type of donation promotes easier access to health care.” Roy added the support that this group of doctors has offered to the mission reinforces the commitment staff has to help the homeless in the mission’s hospice. For the doctors, Abdulla said what he saw was a group of individuals motivated to help make significant changes with how palliative care is provided in the Ottawa region. “What’s amazing about physicians is that they are motivated to do good. You give them a challenge and they rise to it,” he said. “There has been a lot of controversy about endof-life, and physicians want to have a conversation about dying. They are interested in making sure that the right things are being discussed and done.” Abdulla said part of those
things discussed at the conference were to make sure patients know what their options are. “It’s about giving them information,” he said. “It’s about having conversations about personal care.” Abdulla has been practicing family medicine for more than 20 years, but it has only been in the past year that he has been training with a small group of local doctors to offer palliative care services to the community. He started his palliative care training by shadowing another doctor. “It’s a completely different mind-set,” he said. “You are not actually fixing things, you are having conversations, you are letting them know and feel empowered. And it’s about getting the patients the right kind of medications. It’s really about spending the time to listen and guide people through the process.”

News - This year’s Glebe craft fair aims to rival bigger shows with the addition of gourmet food for patrons to enjoy. The long-running annual Glebe Craft and Artisan Fair will take place at the Glebe Community Centre from Nov. 15 to 17. The event, organized as a fundraiser for the Glebe Neighbourhood Activities Group, will offer many different types of crafts, clothing, and toys. It will also, for the first time this year, feature a food court. “There is going to be a real variety of gourmet food this year,” said Mary Tsai Davis, the executive director of the
activities group. According to the organization, the food court aims to rival other food courts like the one at Toronto’s One of a Kind Christmas Show, which has a “flavours” section, filled with everything from gingerbread cookies to decadent chocolates to spices and sauces. The Glebe’s version will feature chocolate, cupcakes and squares, to name a few. Because of the size of the craft show -- more than 50 vendors will fill up the main hall at the centre -- the organization decided this year to open a separate space for the food court in the multi-purpose room. The aim is for guests to have the opportunity to check out all the food and have a place
to sit and sample as well. The proceeds from the event go towards three funding components for the activities group: capital projects like improvements to the centre, community initiatives and financial assistance, which helps subsidize recreation costs for low-income families. “It’s a wonderful event that really helps us out with our community development fund,” Tsai Davis said. The show will welcome a number of returning vendors, Tsai Davis said, with a few new artisans too. The show opens its doors at 6 p.m. on Nov. 15, with hours on Saturday, Nov. 16 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 17 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Bring a friend and enjoy the extensive selection of holiday gift ideas for that someone special or for yourself! The Craft Christmas Gift Sale opens Wednesday, November 6 at 10 a.m. at the Nepean Sportsplex, 1701 Woodroffe Avenue where there is plenty of free parking!

Fear, isolation, societal denial all help perpetuate problem Continued from page 31
According to a document recently released by the resource centre: • Six per cent of Ontario women living in a commonlaw or marital relationship report experiencing physical or sexual assault by their partner. • Less than 25 per cent of victims of spousal violence report the incident to the police. • Spousal violence is most prevalent among 25- to 34year-olds. • Eighty-three per cent of victims of spousal violence are women. Sandy, a peer support worker at the resource centre who preferred not to use her last name, said the statistics on violence against women are alarming. “One in three women will experience sexual abuse; for disabled women, it’s 85 per cent,” she said. Metroland Media is publishing articles throughout November on various aspects of violence against women. The first installment focuses on older women and the barriers they face when deciding to leave an abusive relationship. INCREASED BARRIERS
There are a number of barriers women who experience abuse face when making the decision to leave an unhealthy relationship, said Vivienne. Some of the reasons highlighted in the resource centre’s Handbook on Abuse include: • Fear: abused women are in the most danger when they try to escape. • Lack of economic resources: many women in an abusive relationship have no control over their finances. They fear they may not be able to provide for themselves or their children if they leave. • Isolation: many abusers isolate their partners from family and friends, leaving abused women with no support system. • Societal denial: abused women feel no one will believe their partner is capable of violence. • For the children: some women stay in unhealthy relationships because they believe it’s better for their children to have a father, even if he’s abusive. • New Canadians: they may not speak the language or feel their cultural community isn’t supportive of them leaving their partner. As women age, they face
It’s never too late to get help An abused woman is most as risk when she’s leaving her partner, said Vivienne, a peer support worker at the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre. But there are ways to minimize the risk. If planning to leave, women should decide where they can go that is safe. This could be a shelter, or a family member or friend’s house.

She said she’s seen other cases where the abuser may be ill and the woman feels guilty if she leaves him. “No matter how he’s treated her, it’s a huge issue to ask a woman to walk away from the role,” Vivienne said about being a caregiver. In line with financial abuse and the barrier of limited economic resources, an older woman may feel it’s too late for her to find work to support herself if she leaves her husband. “These are additional barriers for older women,” said Vivienne. But supports have changed – there are new resources
CONTACTS There are a number of resources available for women and children who want to leave an abusive household or want more information: • Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre: 613-591-3686 • 24-hour crisis line for Chrysalis House: 613-591-5901 • 24-hour Women’s Crisis Line: 613-745-4818 • Femaide assaulted women’s help line: 1-877-336-2433 • Ottawa police partner assault line: 613-236-1222 ext. 5407
“It’s very scary for a woman,” said Vivienne, about making the decision to leave. “It takes great courage.”
Older women who remain in abusive relationships face many barriers when it comes to seeking help. The Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre offers a host of support systems and programs through its violence against women program to help women of any age.

available to help women leave a violent or abusive partner, no matter how long they’ve been in a relationship. Vivienne recalled helping an 87-year-old woman break free from her abusive partner. “If an 87-year-old can do it, then it’s possible for anyone over 65 to take that step,” she said. “It’s just that first step that’s the hardest.” The Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre has a large violence against women program that helps women living in Kanata, Goulbourn, West Carleton, Rideau, Nepean, Osgoode and Bay wards. The program offers peer support, individual and group counselling services, transitional housing, referrals and resources. The resource centre also runs Chrysalis House, a secure 25-bed shelter in the city for women and children fleeing an abusive home. Counsellors and peer sup-

port workers won’t ask or tell women who call to leave their situations – that is up to them to decide. “We just give options,” said Vivienne. “Phoning here, just breaking the silence is the biggest thing,” said Sandy. “Women, often they don’t tell anybody at all because they think people will look at them badly. “The shame that women carry, it doesn’t belong to them; it belongs to their abusive partner. And there is help to empower her, not to make her dependent again; help to establish her own life,” she added. “The same messages are not there now that were there 50 years ago.” And it’s never too late to get help. Sandy said a client in her late 70s expressed it the best. “She said she may only have a few years left but she was going to live them in peace.”

Ottawa actress part of new Cronenberg project Stephanie La Rochelle working with filmmaker on multi-media art show Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com
Arts – At only 19, Greely actress Stephanie La Rochelle has entered the weird and warped world of Canadian ďŹ lmmaker David Cronenberg. La Rochelle, who made national headlines as a ďŹ nalist on CBC’s Over the Rainbow competition to ďŹ nd Canada’s best Dorothy last year, has left Greely for greener pastures – Toronto – and has now landed herself a role in Cronenberg’s latest futuristic project. The concept, called Body/ Mind/Change, builds on his ďŹ ctional biotechnology ideas from previous ďŹ lms like Scanners and Videodrome to create an interactive videogame experience for online users. The idea revolves around the POD (personal on-demand), a biotech implant that claims to know what you want before you do. “POD reinvents the recom-
mendation engine to make discovering the things you need, love or desire effortless,â€? a website explanation reads. “This state of the art biotech implant will guarantee you personalized recommendations that are 99.999 per cent relevant all the time. POD grows with you to become an intuitive companion, enhancing your life and storing the best that the world has to offer for immediate recall at any time. After a light training period, POD will be able to predict your deepest unfulďŹ lled desires – even the ones you didn’t know you had.â€? The multi-media project is part of a tribute to Cronenberg through the TIFF Bell Lightbox theatre. “It’s a little strange,â€? La Rochelle said. “Cronenberg’s projects are usually different. But it’s a cool concept.â€? La Rochelle plays a 14year-old girl in the interactive video game, which is a

La Rochelle didn’t want to give too much of the storyline away. She said working on a Cronenberg project is exciting, especially at such an early stage of her career. “It’s incredible to be afďŹ liated with such a big name,â€? she said. La Rochelle will soon start rehearsing for her role in the Sound of Music at Hamilton’s Theatre Aquarius, which will run between December and January. She said she is enjoying her life in Toronto. She has been taking classes while auditioning for roles. “Things are good,â€? she said.

He has a condition called recurrent conjunctivitis with chronic ocular discharge, which just means the tissue around his eyes gets inamed. This is usually caused by a viral infection and it’s likely that once his stress level is reduced in his forever home, his immune system will get stronger and he will be less prone to these eye infections. Gunner loves to curl up on your lap for ear scratches and pets. He gets along well with other cats but prefers not to share his home with dogs as they scare him. He is also trained to walk on leash!

The Ottawa Humane Society is often full of people in the community cat rooms, playing with the kittens. Just across the way, animals like sevenyear-old Gunner the cat watch all the attention bestowed upon those tiny bundles of fur. Though they’d also make wonderful and loving pets, being a little older or having a “special needâ€? means Gunner and others aren’t always the recipients of the same kind of interest. Gunner has been at the OHS since February. People visit, perhaps take a look, but then pass him up for a younger, smaller cat or kitten. It’s time for Gunner and the other older or special needs animals to ďŹ nd loving forever homes to call their own. Special needs pets may require medication, a special diet, or extra post-adoption vet care. In some cases,

SkyHawks announce final roster Brier Dodge
brier.dodge@metroland.com
Sports - The Ottawa SkyHawks have announced the final team roster, and both native Ottawa players who attended training camp have made the final cut. Eric Kiby, a St. Matthew High School graduate, and Manock Lual, a Rideau High School graduate, will be part of the 12-person basketball team playing their inaugural season in the
league this year. “Making cuts is never an easy process; we had a group of very talented men which made the decision process very difficult.” said the SkyHawks head coach Kevin Keathley in a press release. “In the end sometimes it comes down to a numbers game.” The final roster was announced on Oct. 30 after two exhibition games the weekend prior. The SkyHawks won both the exhibition games on the road.
“It was a challenge to select,” said co-owner Gus Takkale in the release. “Coach K and I have had some sleepless nights.” The team held training camp at the YMCA in Orléans in the lead up to the decision. The other players on the team’s roster include Jerice Crouch, Fred Sturdivant, Jermaine Johnson, Tirrell Baines, Jamie Vanderbeken, Jamal File Crook, Justin Tubbs, Mike Rose, De- Manock Lual, left, and Eric Kiby are all smiles at a press conference held metrius Jemison and Ryan Anderson. at city hall in August. Both players made the final SkyHawks roster.

Sandy Hill craft sale gears up for seventh year Michelle Nash

News - Organizers of Sandy Hill’s biggest craft sale claim
it has the best motto in town - come for the food, stay for the art. The One and Only Show is in its seventh year and as al-

season. “We think the food keeps people (here) to stay and shop,” Lacelle said. “Vendors love it and I think Sandy Hill neighbours love the opportunity to catch up.” Evanchuck said he is already planning and purchasing food for the Nov. 17 event, to be held at the Sandy Hill Community Centre. “I plan to cook for at least 1,000 people,” he said. “The food is very popular. We will be doing a Mexican menu this year. It’s tasty and easy to hand out.” Evanchuck manages the crowd with a strong corps of volunteers: Mark Lacelle, Dallas Fletcher and Francois Bregha. “They come back every year,” he said. An artist and documentary filmmaker by day, Evanchuck said he cooks for the show simply because he loves it. “If it wasn’t fun and enjoyable, I wouldn’t do it,” he said. “This is our lifestyle and if you live life fully, you have fun. If you live life partially, you don’t. I want to live it fully.” Only one-half of the organization team, Evanchuck credits

The seventh annual One & Only craft sale is once again being supported by Action Sandy Hill, the local community association. Marc Lacelle, left, organizer and head chef Peter Evanchuck, Hélene Lacelle, Dallas Fletcher and Francois Bregha were among those cooking up a free buffet at last year’s event. all the work leading up to the November event to Lacelle. “She makes it happen,” he said. The craft show will have 60 vendors selling their wares, with half of the vendors from previous years returning and about 30 who are new to the Sandy Hill event. “There is something for everyone,” Lacelle said.
The sale is supported by Action Sandy Hill, the local community association. All the proceeds from the sale goes to the association. Unlike other large-scale craft shows in the city, this show is only one day, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The two said they wanted to increase the event to a twoday sale, but the cost to do so proved to be a barrier.

This card entitled “Snow Angels” is just one of the three beautiful artworks available as holiday cards this season through the Community Activities Group.
Holiday cards show off what Old Ottawa East is all about
Michelle Nash
michelle.nash@metroland.com
Community - This holiday season residents in Old Ottawa East have the opportunity to post a little local spirit. A staple holiday card handed out by the Community Activities Group as a thank you to volunteers in the neighbourhood during the holiday season is now being made available for purchase for everyone in the community. Carol Workun, executive director for the organization, credits making the cards available to the entire community to those past recipients. “This isn’t something we went after, it is completely from community - the community has asked for these cards to be available for everyone and that is what we do, when the community asks for something, we work hard to provide it,” Workun said. The cards come in packs of 12, are bilingual and available
in three designs. Workun said people can choose one design, purchase multiple packs or purchase a pack that has a mixed selection of the three designs. Each pack costs $24. The artwork is thanks to Cynthia Tremills, an area resident and avid volunteer. Workun said without Tremills, this initiative would not have been possible. For the past three years Tremills has donated her artwork and design to the activities group for the cards. Those previous year’s designs are what has been made available to the community. A fourth design, Workun said, has also been made to continue with the organization’s tradition of handing out seasonal cards. All the proceeds will go towards future programming and events for the activities group. Workun said she was pleased to offer these holiday cards to the community and loves the idea that images of
Old Ottawa East’s neighbourhood could be mailed all over the world this holiday season. “We are excited about the work from our artist. It’s wonderful to share that work. In a dream scenario, I see us bringing together more community artists to promote a wider range of our talent,” Workun said. Cards can be ordered any time from now until Nov. 17. Orders can be made through the Community Activities Group’s website at ottawaeastCAG.ca/registration, located under the events tag or people can order the cards in person at the Old Town Hall community centre during regular centre hours. Credit card or cheque are the only accepted payment options. The organization will deliver all orders to Old Ottawa East homes by Nov. 28. For addresses outside of the neighbourhood, people may pick them up from the Old Town Hall starting Nov. 26.

Record number of hospitals championing organ, tissue donation
Help children and youth create lifelong connections The focus of the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa (CASO) is child safety. We work in collaboration with families and community partners to resolve any concerns or struggles parents may be faced with. We provide the family with support to ensure children and youth receive safe and nurturing care, while staying at home. If a child does come into care, CASO continues to provide support so that the family, if possible, can be reunited. When a child comes into the permanent care of the Society, a permanency plan is created. This plan may include living with kin, legal custody, or adoption. Customary care is also an option for First Nation, Inuit and Métis children, which allows a child to live with a caregiver identified by the child’s community.
Community - Fifty hospitals are working with Trillium Gift of Life Network to promote and create a positive culture of organ and tissue donation in Ontario, an increase of nearly 30 per cent from a year ago. By the end of 2013 there will be 55 hospitals and by next year, all 60 hospitals in Ontario with capacity to facilitate organ
donation, will notify the network when a patient has died or is at high risk for imminent death to ensure that all potential opportunities for donation are identified. Hospitals are also helping to promote organ and tissue donor registration in their communities and actively encouraging their staff to register consent for organ

and tissue donation through registration drives. Ontario has made it simple to register consent for organ and tissue donation: online at www.BeADonor.ca, in person at a ServiceOntario centre or by mail, download a copy of the consent form at www. giftoflife.on.ca.

Remembrance Day held in high regard
M
other was always concerned that we five children didn’t have the proper respect for the true meaning of Remembrance Day. The school at Northcote with only 18 pupils, had no piano and the few county officials were already involved with the ceremony in the town of Renfrew, and so there was little in the way of observance at the school. For this reason, Mother, each year, piled all of us into the Model T and headed into town where, as she put it, there would be a proper and fitting ceremony to remember those who had fallen in the First World War. Mother’s three young brothers had all been in the army, even though Mother said they weren’t old enough to vote, but they were old enough to fight in the war. By the way Mother talked about her brothers, I wondered if they perhaps had won the war singlehandedly. Without fail, the weather was always dreadful on Remembrance Day. We would drive through freezing rain
MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories or snow, it seemed, and at a very young age I wondered if the terrible weather had something mysterious to do with the sombreness of the day. And so when we headed into Renfrew, we were bundled up like mummies with hats and mitts and winter boots. We certainly wouldn’t have the luxury of wearing slacks on such a day and even though I usually hated them with a passion, I was very grateful for the heavy navy blue, fleecelined bloomers over our long underwear and long beige, ribbed stockings. But it never mattered how much clothes we had on, there was always a piercing wind rolling down Raglan Street where the parade took place at the war memorial and it penetrated our bodies and had us shivering like
leaves on tree. The children from the Renfrew schools always marched to the place where the ceremony was held. We five country children were very aware that we weren’t really a part of a group, but that certainly didn’t matter to our mother. She would wait until the town school pupils had formed perfect lines, looking neither left nor right, and would march the five of us right up to the front row, and position us so that we were actually an extension of the line-up of town kids. My older sister Audrey was most embarrassed, but her protests did nothing to sway our Mother. The town children had sheets of music and we would shudder in embarrassment when we would
see Mother walk right over to a teacher, whisper in her ear, and then point to us. We would then see her head back to us with five sheets of music. For reasons much beyond my comprehension, someone from the town ranks of pupils always fainted. Just as sure as death and taxes, as soon as the person leading the program opened his mouth, one or two would topple over. If the overcome person was a girl, the teacher would rush up, fan her with the sheet music, and if that didn’t help, she would be carried off with her eyes rolled into the back of her head. But if it was a boy pupil who had succumbed to the pressures of the day and toppled over, he was left to lie there until he either revived on his own or the ceremony ended. Emerson said, on the way home, “those Renfrew kids are a sickly lot ... certainly none of us ever fell over in a dead faint.” After all the war songs had been sung, out of the crowd would come a very old man with a shiny trumpet tucked under his arm. He
would walk the full length of the parade area, and he wore a soldier’s uniform that obviously had been borrowed. His hands were all but covered with the cuffs and the pant legs bagged over his swath-covered legs. He was very elderly and Mother, ever the one to add drama to any situation, said he probably fought in the Boer War. He played the trumpet loud and clear as a bell, and there wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd. The Renfrew children were the first to march off the parade grounds and Emerson, not to be outdone by kids from town, turned on the heal of his gum-rubbers
and with his arms swinging, marched back down the street to where Mother had parked the Model T. On the road back to Northcote we would be subjected once again to Mother’s stories of how her own brothers went off to war and often her voice would catch with the memory. But we knew she was filled with pride and I too would be caught up in the stories. I would think of those uncles, who returned safely from battle unscarred and I would think I was related to true war heroes. Then I would know, even though I was very young, why Remembrance Day was so important to our mother. R0012234198

Remembering Valérie Eric Goneau is surrounded by volunteers prior to the start of the third annual Valérie’s Flutter Foundation gala event, which took place on Nov. 2 at the Ottawa Conference and Event Centre. The gala event was held in honour of Eric’s sister Valérie, who was just 20 when she died from a rare form of cancer called chondroblastic osteosarcoma. Her family carries the torch and continues to honour her legacy through the foundation. The evening raised $50,000 in support of the Ottawa Health Research Institute. From left to right are volunteers Daria Spencer, Sophie Deslauriers, Maryse Deslauriers, Goneau, Tesia Bryski, Emilie Gundlach, and Stephanie Bertrand.

Christmas comes a bit early Pouring wine just got a little more brighter this holiday season as Stittsville resident Leigh Carroll, at right, sold her creations at the All Saints Catholic High School 12th annual Christmas craft fair and fundraiser on Nov. 2. Carroll is shown with friend Darby LeDuc, who sold handmade aprons. The funds raised at the fair go to support Grands and Friends, a group of local women who are raising funds for African grandmothers who take care of orphaned children due to the HIV/AIDS pandemic in sub-Saharan Africa. 5295954

Don’t race ahead to get the early advantage this week, Aries. Practice patience in all that you do this week, and you may find greater success. Taurus, there is a high level of uncertainty in your life right now, so it is best to take a conservative approach regarding your finances. Take big decisions seriously. Keep your options open, as things look promising this week, Gemini. Many things will catch your eye, but you will have to make some tough decisions.
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!
Cancer, your career takes an unexpected turn that leads you in an exciting new direction. But these changes may take a few weeks or even months to fully develop.

Libra, although your vision for the future is grand, you may not know how to execute your rise to success right now. Find a mentor who can show you the ropes. Scorpio, you may not have the time to be a shoulder to cry on this week, but a trusted confidante will need your assistance. Take the time out for this special friend. You are not in complete control of your feelings this week, Sagittarius. Make a concerted effort to control your emotions when conflict arises. Capricorn, surprises are coming your way. Though you may want to control the situation, you have to sit back and let the chips fall where they may. Aquarius, don’t allow daydreaming to distract you from the tasks at hand. Distractions will only derail your plans, so do your best to keep them at a minimum. Pisces, an ongoing issue must be addressed this week. Proscratination will only delay the inevitable, so tackle this issue
head-on.
