proposed $3-billion transportation master plan – the lack of a rail link to the airport – by sending out a memo before a Nov. 4 transit commission meeting indicating the city will study what it would take to build that link. The city will include a
potential O-Train link to the airport in an environmental assessment study for a southern extension of the rail line – with the caveat that it cannot compromise peak service to Barrhaven and Riverside South, the mayor wrote. Brad Nixon of the Findlay
Creek Community Association cautioned that more costs could crop up if the city decides to make the airport the terminus of the O-Train line, instead of the more southerly station initially planned for Bowesville, near Riverside South.
“If it would end at the airport… you would need to extend the Transitway, which would be more expensive,” Nixon said, speaking in support of the original plan to extend the O-Train. “(This is the) most logical and realistic plan forward for transit to the south.” See LATEST, page 20

Speakers offer ADHD advice for parents Forum explores ways of managing disorder steph.willems@metroland.com
News - Parents of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder have a lot on their plate, having to manage relationships with educators and medical professionals while at the same time seeking to deal with the symptoms of the behavioral disorder. A Nov. 7 public forum held at Ben Franklin Place brought those parents into contact with two professionals who specialize in ADHD, with the aim of teaching new strategies for managing common problems associated with the disorder. The gathering was hosted by the Center for Pediatric Excellence. Speaking at the forum were Dr. Judy van Stralen, an expert in pediatric ADHD who serves as staff pediatrician at CHEO (among other positions), and Dr. Kenny Handelman, an adjunct professor of psychiatry at the University of Western Ontario and author of Attention Difference Disorder. Learning to manage ADHD takes time and effort to learn what strategies work best, the doctors said, and medication is only part of the answer. Handelman’s interest in ADHD began while working with children as part of his psychiatry curriculum, which led to a startling realization. “I really clicked with kids who had ADHD,” said Handelman, who was later diagnosed with ADHD himself. “No wonder I was getting along great with these kids – I had spent years not knowing.” Handelman sees ADHD not as an attention deficit, but an attention difference, hence the title of his book. Like any other physical disease – such
as asthma or heart disease – the symptoms of ADHD become heightened under certain circumstances. Learning to recognize these triggers and adapting one’s routine and environment to reduce the likelihood of triggering a response is key to managing ADHD, he said. While the stimulant Ritalin is the first and most wellknown medication used to treat ADHD, other medications, both short-acting and long-acting, have since joined the roster of drugs. When paired with a drug that works, both children and adults have a good starting point to begin enjoying a life with less distraction and hardship, said van Stralen. “I’ve had young kids tell me – once they started talking meds – that they’re happy the dance party in their heads stopped,” said van Stralen. The difficulties in executive brain function experienced with ADHD lead to impairments in planning, organizing, inhibition and memory, she said, which leads to an impact on workplace and school performance, sports, and relationships. Treatment, consisting of medication and lifestyle strategies, will improve performance in all these areas. Problems arise when traditional “time-honoured” strategies are applied to kids with ADHD, said van Stralen. “You need specific parenting strategies. Parents aren’t the cause of ADHD, but they can be part of the solution.” Consistency between parents in addressing behavioral issues is important, as is implementing those parenting approaches without emotion or anger, said van Stralen, giving the example of a speeding driver pulled over by a police
TICO#50007364

officer. “As parents, let’s use some of those rules of the speeder and the police officer. Unfortunately, many parents get frustrated.” In school, good strategies for kids with ADHD include sitting closer to the front of the class, listening to music while learning, being in a quiet room for tests, and having extra time for those tests. On the medication front, side effects need to be weighed against the drug’s impact on relieving ADHD symptoms, said van Stralen, with a net benefit for the child being the desired outcome. She warned against the generic version of the drug Concerta, of which studies have shown to be far less effective than originally assumed. Aging – both during adolescence and adulthood – will have some affect on the efficacy of medications, leading to the need to change doses or the type of drug. Van Stralen said that in cases where medication seems to not help, it is important to keep trying new ones, while trying second and third-line options, such as changes to diet and bedtime routines. “Diet isn’t everything, but it could be beneficial,” said van Stralen. “Think of including anything (to your strategy) – it could add up.” Foods high in sugar and additives are known to aggravate ADHD behaviour, while a diet high in protein and omega-3 oils is known to be beneficial. Good sources of information for parents include their family doctor, the Learning Disability Association of Ottawa, special education resources in schools, and a number of websites devoted to the issue, including caddac.ca and caddra.ca.

The audit, David added, is important to do at night. “Lighting is typically the first thing people identify as a concern,” David said. WISE will compile all the information gathered during the audit into a report to hand out to the community, the city and police. “The report will be sent to the various agencies,” Kampouris said. “It is not just coming from us. If there are items that need the attention of the police, or the city, WISE will forward it along and they will followup regularly with us to see if things are getting
done.” Kampouris said she was pleased with the comments she had heard from the audit. “When you talk about a community safety audit, you would assume it would be about crime, how safe it is to walk through the neighbourhood,” she said. “But there were some things that came up at the audit about the safety of children.” David said she was impressed with the turnout from the neighbourhood. “The important thing is we are talking about the community’s voice and the community’s perspective,” David said. “The other thing is that this is a proactive approach. It’s not reactionary. If you listen to the warnings you can prevent

Trustee’s award highlights city’s growing endurance culture Rudy Award given to those who really go distance, among them Theresa Kavanagh Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com
News - Ottawa’s notoriously variable weather ensures that excess outdoor activity can often get quite unpleasant, but there’s a growing group of athletes that couldn’t care less. The Rudy Award is a local award given to those individuals who really go the distance – in this case those who complete five endurance races in one calendar year. They include one marathon, an Ironman/iron distance triathlon, a Winterlude triathlon (speed skating, cross-country skiing and running), one of two 52-kilometre Gatineau Loppet cross-country ski races and a Rideau Lakes bike tour. Since the inaugural awards in 2001, about 20 athletes complete the requirements for the Rudy Award. Public school board trustee Theresa Kavanagh recently received her sixth Rudy Award after netting her
first in 2005. Endurance athletes – especially triathletes - aren’t uncommon in Ottawa, she said, but many fail to qualify for the award due to the winter component of the criteria. “For triathletes, it’s hard to get a Rudy Award,” said Kavanagh, adding she knows other athletes who had to learn to ski in order to undertake the grueling 52-km cross country race. “The award emphasizes diversification and trying different things,” she said. “It’s a different way of challenging yourself. Certainly, it’s not for everyone and it isn’t well known outside a small community (of athletes).” The award’s founder, local triathlete Rudy Hollywood, dreamed it up in 2000 after completing the qualifying endurance races himself. Given what participants must go through over the course of a year to qualify, it has been said that athletes don’t win the
award, they earn it. Kavanagh said she doesn’t expect to aim for another Rudy Award, but does admit, “it gets kind of addictive.” Her husband, former Ottawa city councillor and current Ottawa WestNepean NDP candidate Alex Cullen, has netted three Rudy Awards. As a trustee, Kavanagh isn’t able to table curriculum, but has worked hard at the board level to promote physical education amongst Ottawa students. Currently, Grade 9 is the only year physical education is mandatory, meaning much of student’s high school careers are spend without engaging in compulsory fitness. “My emphasis is to get kids active outside of school,” said Kavanagh. “The benefits of it have been proven over and over again.” Given the trend towards obesity and inactivity seen in recent years, physical activity is more important than ever, she stressed. “It used to be that kids got exercise from walking to school and playing, but it seems things have to be more structured these days.”

Sandy Hill group presents student housing petition More than 1,000 sign to support effort opposing expansion of off-campus housing Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - Numbers are speaking louder than words in Sandy Hill, where a petition with more than 1,000 names says the community is done with housing students. The petition was created at the start of this semester by community association Action Sandy Hill, stating the need for the University of Ottawa to build on-campus student housing. In only two months, vicepresident of the ASH board, Bob Forbes has collected names of 1,100 people who are opposed to the university encroachment on residential areas and the current poor quality housing often rented to students. “People in Sandy Hill are very much in favour of new residences but hugely against encroachment into the neighbourhood,” Forbes said. “We are working hard with the university to find a constructive solution.” The petition was presented to the university at the Nov. 4 town and gown committee meeting - a committee created to help bridge the divide between students, home owners and the university. Members of Action Sandy Hill have also met with the university’s advisory committee of campus development and ASH vice-president Chad Rollins said ASH also hopes
to speak to the university president Allan Rock and the board of governors. “It is nice to be engaged with the university and to talk about housing concerns,” Rollins said. Sandy Hill is the university’s closest neighbour and has been vocal about student housing concerns, the need for more on-campus residences and the impact student living has on the Sandy Hill neighbourhood. The catalyst for creating the petition was the submission of two new applications to build a 165-bed student residence slated on Henderson Avenue, as well as a mixed-use, nine-storey student residence building proposed for the corner of Laurier Avenue and Friel Street. The applicant, Viner Assets, Inc., wants the properties to accommodate a “purpose-built student residence,” which would contain retail space, a fitness centre and a student amenity area on the ground floor. At 180 units, the proposal -- if approved and built -- would house more than 600 students and would address some of the needs of the expanding student body, but not completely alleviate it. This means more developments would be needed to accommodate growth and ASH members state they want those buildings built by the university to be on university property. According to the community as-

mittee and was in attendance when the community presented the petition to the university. “I applaud the effort,” Fleury said. “It takes a lot of volunteer work to get this done and I recognize the challenges the community faces. But all the issues won’t be solved at once and it is important to work through those issues with the university.” Action Sandy Hill would like the city’s support to create a student housing strategy for the city. Rollins said the city’s student population is growing at a rapid rate and there is a need to manage it. “If we develop guidelines for purpose-built student housing, it could help manage the growth,” Rollins said. “It is not a new idea. Other Ontario cities have created these types of strategies.” While not a new idea, it has been contested in other cities by the Ontario Human Rights Commission. In the City of North Bay, residents contacted the human rights commission for a number of concerns with the city’s 2012 rental housing licensing bylaw. Concerned tenants raised included that the licensing bylaw was rolled out in student areas first, that there were interior space requirements and bedroom caps as well as the costs associated with licensing which could reduce availability of housing for students and large families. The human rights commission began an inquiry with the city, asking for the City of North Bay to address and respond to the concerns. At the same time, the commission also began a similar inquiry with the city of Waterloo, which also released a rental housing licensing bylaws. Both inquiries ended in May and the commission will continue to watch its developments. “Rental housing licensing is a fairly new concept in Ontario,” said
OHRC Chief Commissioner Barbara Hall. “Our goal was to look closely at how licensing would affect families, students, seniors and vulnerable people who identify with grounds of Ontario’s Human Rights Code...We found some promising practices that we’ll share across Ontario, and we will continue to work with municipalities to make sure that there is room for everyone in our communities.” University of Ottawa law professor Carissima Mathen said creating a strategy based on age and creating restrictions for certain age groups is against the Human Rights Code. But unlike gender status or age status, status as a student is not defined and offers a slippery slope for discrimination. “It’s tricky because students are vulnerable in many ways -- economic situation, age. One can sympathize and think it’s a human rights issue, but human rights does not define students,” Mathen said. “I think you could make an argument based on the type of comments made, (that) they are protected as we all are. You would have to make an argument that being a student is analogous enough, or similar enough to a race or gender. You would have to make it an equality rights issue.” City planner Bliss Edwards said Ottawa is not prepared to make distinctions on zoning or strategies based on people. “If we start dictating what type of person lives where, it’s discriminating and that is not a business we want to get into,” Edwards said. Rollins disagreed with the distinction of violating human rights or discriminating and said the strategy would be in place as a guideline. “When you have developers specifically saying they are building for students,” Rollins said. “We should have guidelines in place for those developments.”

Lest we forget
O
n the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month the city came to a halt as citizens remembered those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our
country. But sometimes it’s difficult to remember. When attempting to describe the importance of Remembrance Day, the words “lest we forget� often cross our lips, emerging as an almost secular amen to punctuate the ceremonies held at schools, cenotaphs and legions. The meaning of Remembrance Day is passed down from generation to generation in the form of a history lesson. We learn more than 600,000 Canadian soldiers fought in the First World War and one in 10 did not return. The last known Canadian veteran who served in the First World War died in 2010. One million Canadian soldiers fought in the Second World War – more than 46,000 did not survive. Twenty six thousand Canadians participated in the Korean War, with 516 killed, and another 121 soldiers have been killed in peacekeeping missions. In our most recent conflict, 157 soldiers were killed fighting in Afghanistan. Our loss transcends mere numbers – as stark and
horrifying as they are. These are sons and daughters, our fathers and mothers, our brothers and sisters, our next-door neighbours. They were real people, who carried hope for the present, regrets from the past and dreams for the future. And when they died, they left holes in our hearts and voids in families across the country. Every year, we gather and promise to never forget them or their sacrifice. But it’s a difficult promise to make. Remembering requires action, a commitment to learn the lessons of history taught to us by conflicts past. Forgetting is so much easier, and it’s a trap many of us fall into, instead focusing our attention on our personal hopes and dreams, while overlooking those who made that potential future possible. The act of remembrance shouldn’t be optional or relegated to an annual ritual. Remembrance Day is more than just facts and figures; it is part of our living past. It is the responsibility of each generation and every individual to keep the memory alive. Lest we forget.

What we can learn from Toronto’s bad melodrama
A
little while ago someone was writing about what a blessing it was, for Ottawa, to have a mayor who is boring – that is one who has no newsworthy bad habits. Sure enough, within days came the admission from Toronto’s mayor, Rob Ford, that he has indeed smoked crack cocaine. From there, a story that had been a kind of lingering low-grade scandal everywhere but Toronto, exploded onto the world scene. Everybody, from the late night comedians to television shrinks had something to say. (For the American newspaper U.S.A. Today, the relevant angle was that “Ford was wearing a necktie featuring the logos of all 32 NFL teams while making his confession.� The newspaper ran a photo and helpfully added that: “Although Toronto doesn’t have an NFL team, it has played host to one Buffalo Bills game in each of the past six seasons.� In journalism, as in life, it takes all kinds.) In Toronto, Dr. Drew Pinsky, described as “addiction specialist and U.S. media personality� offered some insights that weren’t bad, considering that he admits to never having met the man. “He clearly is suffering right now,� Pinsky told a Toronto radio station, “and that suffering can be managed and treated. He can have a

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town flourishing life again but he has to be willing to give up the alcohol.� Pinsky spotted Ford’s several references to doing drugs while in a drunken stupor. Drinking to the level of stupor “is not a normal relationship with alcohol,� Pinsky said, adding that “he’s drinking sufficiently to have consequences.� Various sufferers will tell you that one of those possible consequences is getting involved in the drug culture. In sufficient quantities, drink loosens the inhibitions, impairs the judgment and makes the drinker less likely to avoid risky behaviour. (If you want a vivid illustration of the process, have a look at a recent book called Superdad, by Toronto journalist Christopher Shulgan.) Much of the clamour surrounding the

Toronto mayor concerns the effect of his behaviour on the city and its reputation. That is fine, but it is also valuable to think of the individual and other individuals like him. Says Pinsky: “He doesn’t deserve to be maligned. He deserves the opportunity to go get help and take care of his medical condition, not work for awhile – probably a month or so – and really get with this and get going.� While it is understandable that many people would like Ford to simply disappear, there would also be distinct advantages to having him stay in the public eye. Because what we have here is a unique teachable moment, as the modern saying goes. Think of it this way: thousands of people in the Toronto area either have or will have problems with addiction – to alcohol and other drugs. From the discussions that we see on the news media, some of the mayor’s supporters come from the group of people likely to come into contact with drug users and drug dealers. They are at risk. It could do these people a world of good to witness the public struggle of a man they have looked up to. If a man as powerful as Rob Ford can have difficulty dealing with alcohol and drugs, so can anyone. That is a lesson worth learning.
Equally important, those who admire the mayor will cheer for him to overcome his difficulties, and that may help them avoid difficulties of their own. This is probably true also of those who, despite political differences, have come to a grudging sympathy for a fellow human being who is obviously in trouble. It is true that watching a public figure, in full view, tackle addiction issues is uncomfortably close to watching a reality show on television. There’s a lot of bad melodrama in this story. But if that’s what it takes, we should all tune in.

Hold onto your cowboy hats
I
t’s been a couple of weeks since the members of the Conservative Party and the parliamentary press gallery threw on their cowboy hats and convened in Calgary. With all the news of the Senate and Rob Ford, the convention was big news for about a day – and it happened to be a day when most people were starting their Christmas shopping. But we shouldn’t forget too quickly some of the promises reiterated that weekend, particularly by the prime minister. For those of you who had better things to do on a Friday than watch a live feed of the prime minister, the speech was a good one. The prime minister was on his game. The speech was perfectly crafted to please party supporters – Harper slammed the opposition parties, skirted over anything of substance and zeroed in on his favourite wedge issues like the courts that have “blocked” Harper’s efforts at Senate reform (wrong) and, of course, those lazy public servants. Harper reiterated plans to go after the bureaucracy of government. He vowed to find a way to dismiss underperforming civil servants and, of course, to bring their compensation and pensions in line with those in the private sector. Nevermind that a lot of public
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse servants don’t make wages as high as their private sector counterparts nor that most jobs the Conservatives claim they have “created” over the past five years have been part-time, minimum wage service jobs. We’re all expected to live in a McDonald’s economy and be happy with that. And, rather than look for ways for all workers to have a decent pension at the end of their careers, the Conservatives are going to level the playing field by ensuring any high-paying, salaried jobs are brought down to the lowest common denominator. And in case you missed it, the Conservatives are the only party that actually care about children. Nevermind that one in five kids still live below the poverty line. Harper’s party is the only party that still believes “mom and dad” are best positioned to look after kids. In other words, there are no plans for a national childcare strategy. That $100 per month you get for each kid under six? That’s supposed to be sufficient to allow you to give up your job and stay home with the kids. And for the
rest, well, they’re not going to vote Conservative anyway, are they? Harper bragged about tax cuts and putting more money into the pockets of Canadians. Apparently the average family of four has $3,000 more in their pockets since the Conservatives took power, enough for car payments. Don’t take this the wrong way, folks, but maybe we’d be better off leaving more money in the government coffers. For one thing, most of us are in debt up to our eyeballs. Our infrastructure is crumbling around us and the population is aging, which means there are going to be ever fewer workers to support all those people on pensions for the next several decades. But the Conservatives can solve all these problems by giving us more tax cuts, if only they weren’t such renegades from the West, if only they could get past the elite in Ottawa – you know, the establishment, like the civil service and those pesky journalists that attempt to hold the government to account daily? And yet, as one individual tweeted to Harper, “if you’ve been firmly in power for seven years in this town, you are, in fact, the elite.” In other words, the only thing standing in Harper’s way of diminishing career jobs, maintaining child poverty and keeping us all in a credit-dependent economic bubble is Harper himself.
Mayor’s Report Budget 2014
Lowest Rate in 7 YeaRs By Jim Watson On October 23 we tabled our budget for 2014 with a proposed tax rate change of 1.9% - the lowest in 7 years. This marks the fourth consecutive budget that we have tabled since taking office that has decreased the tax rate change and keeps my 2010 election promise not to raise taxes more than 2.5% per year. Budget 2014 is a fiscally responsible plan in which we spend prudently while continuing to make the necessary investments for the future of our city. One of these is the $340 million Ottawa on the Move program that was approved in Budget 2012. This program is in the midst of improving our sidewalk, road, cycling, water, and sewer infrastructure across our city to ready ourselves for the coming of the Light Rail Transit system to Ottawa. In addition to continuing this important funding, others highlights of Budget 2014 include: • A continued freeze on recreations fees, the Mayor and Councillors’ office budgets, the Mayor’s salary and garbage fees • The City will reduce its workforce again this year, this time by 55 Full Time Equivalent positions • No new debt will be added to the capital budget for 2014 • Roll-out of “MyServiceOttawa”, an online account that allows residents and businesses to securely access multiple City services and information in one place 24/7 • Increased funding for the city’s arts community and library services • Increase investment in cycling safety and facilities by $2 million • Continue Council’s annual investment of $14 million in the Housing and Homelessness Investment Plan • Invest an additional $1.2 million to fight the spread of the Emerald Ash Borer and to increase forest cover across the city • Increase investment in Economic Development and Tourism by $645,000 to attract more events and visitors As we crafted Budget 2014, I along with Council colleagues, visited 6 malls across Ottawa for consultations to hear from residents as to what they wanted to see included and excluded from the budget. We have also held three public consultations since tabling the budget with one more to come on November 7th from 7-9pm in Andrew Haydon Hall at City Hall. These sessions have provided us with valuable feedback and you can also get involved by submitting your ideas for the budget by email to budget2014@ottawa.ca or on Twitter using the hashtag #ottbudget. Thank you to those who have already taken the time to offer their input on Budget 2014 and I look forward to hearing from many more residents before the vote on the final budget takes place on November 27.

Westboro Animal Hospital seeking expansion Steph Willems
steph.willems@metroland.com
Community - After 21 years of operation, the Westboro Animal Hospital is seeking more space amid an influx of animal-owning residents. The hospital, located at the southwest corner of Churchill and Whitby avenues, plans to remain in that location in a new building with expanded footprint. A zoning bylaw amendment and site plan control has been filed with the city in support of the expansion. The properties in question
are 364 Churchill and the adjacent 348 Whitby, which contains a two-storey residential building. The expansion plan calls for the demolition of the existing hospital building and the construction of a new two-storey building with a 382 square metre floor area. The adjacent building would be demolished and a seven-space parking lot built to serve the hospital’s staff and patrons. Manager Dan Cameron said the hospital has been planning the expansion for several years and will commence with
the construction once approvals are granted. “We finally have the resources to do it,” said Cameron, adding that the plan for new space was brought on by new clients and the wish to deliver more services. The hospital employs 10 full-time staff and two to three part-time employees. Currently, it offers a full range of veterinarian services, including surgeries, an X-ray lab and ultrasound. “There’s going to be a rehabilitation centre as part of the new centre,” said Cameron,
adding that includes “a water machine and technology devoted to doing that kind of work.” The hospital and its rehabilitation services will be located
on the ground floor of the new structure, with staff facilities and an accessory dwelling unit (for the chief veterinarian) located on the second floor. While some details of the
plan need to be finalized, Cameron said the hospital is “pretty much ready to go.”

News - Jonathon Harrington is nearing the end of a five-year journey to showcase his work. The Barrhaven-based photographer originally started working on a book to branch out as an artist, but after talking with one of his models, he decided to give something back. “The shoots became kind of therapy sessions,” he said. “And one of my models told me about losing her mother to breast cancer. “After a while it seemed to make sense to give some of the proceeds to the breast cancer foundation.” Harrington shot the book using 57 models – most of them women. He said he’s happy to delve into the more artistic side of his craft. Harrington started his ca-

reer as a wedding photographer and now he does work for corporate clients. “It’s really exciting to be doing something that’s 100 per cent mine,” he said. Despite his enthusiasm, Harrington said it was tough to navigate the publishing world. He plans to fund half the costs through kickstarter. com, an online crowd funding site. He’s already nearing reached his goal of $5,000. The first $3,000 in donations were made in the first week. “I plan to kick in another $5,000 of my own money,” he said. With any luck, he said his book will be available at Chapters and Indigo before Christmas. The images are mostly high key, which means white background and a low level of contrast, making photographs appear to be similar to pencil
drawings. The odd punch of colour can have a dramatic effect. In one image, the model is bent in a posture that makes the forefront of the picture look like a bow, so Harrington used Photoshop software to add pink – mimicking the iconic pink breast cancer ribbon. “It was a friend that told me about the bow, I have had a lot of positive feedback from that image. “It’s amazing I didn’t see it, but I think when you work on something for as long as I have you tend not to notice the forest for the trees,” he said. The final book will have 128 photographs. “I think over the course of working on the book I have shot 5,000 images,” Harrington said. Harrington’s work can be found online by visiting iconimaging.ca.

CHEO'S CARE MAKES LIFE EASIER FOR LOGAN'S FAMILY
Logan Charbonneau
Like most six-year-olds, Logan Charbonneau has a zest for life. He plays hockey with the West Nipissing Sting in his home town of Sturgeon Falls, Ontario and loves to play with Lego blocks. He loves his school, and although he can be shy when he meets new people, he always ends up loving them.
After being seen in CHEO’s Emergency department, Logan was admitted to CHEO’s 4 West medical unit where he was diagnosed with a general failure to thrive. Children who fail to thrive don't receive or are unable to take in, retain, or use the calories needed to gain weight and grow as expected.
Logan was adopted at birth. At three years old, he was diagnosed with both autism spectrum disorder and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. His parents, Tammy and Jeff, say that two of his major challenges are difficulties with sleeping and eating. For the past three years Logan has been struggling with his diet. “He has no appetite at all,” explains his father. “He would go days without asking for food.” Logan simply has not been eating enough and this has affected his overall health. His growing body needs nourishment to thrive.
Still struggling with his lack of appetite and having lost a significant amount of weight, the CHEO team wanted to find a solution that would help Logan receive the daily nourishment he needs to stay healthy and grow, as well as regain weight — all while letting him live as normal a life as possible. After testing and consultations, Logan had surgery to have a gastrotomy tube (also known as a g-tube) inserted in his stomach. A gastrotomy tube is inserted through the abdomen and delivers nutrition directly to the stomach.
Recently Logan began to complain about pain in his abdomen. For a child who doesn’t complain, this was worrisome. A trip to the local Emergency room in Sturgeon Falls ruled out physical ailments, but the problem didn’t go away. The hospital’s pediatrician suggested Logan should be seen at CHEO.
After a four week stay at CHEO, Logan was well enough to go home to Sturgeon Falls. To prepare for their return back home and the required follow ups, the family connected with CHEO pediatrician, Dr. Ann Rowan-Legg, who knew their doctor back home. Dr. Rowan-Legg provided the support and medical follow up required for a smooth and thorough transition.
Jeff and Tammy were very impressed with the level of care and concern shown at CHEO.
“
“From the minute we walked into the Emergency department it’s been an amazing experience,” remembers Jeff. “They’re kind. They’re thorough. They ask a lot of questions and they answer all of our questions.”
From the minute we walked into the Emergency department it’s been an amazing experience.
”
“She not only put the wheels in motion, she made sure it was done at a pace that we’re comfortable with,” says Jeff. “It’s all based on what’s best for Logan.” The medical team consulted with the support services they use in Sturgeon Falls to make sure they were set up to take care of Logan when the family went home. “The only thing we’re concerned about while we’re here is him. The rest is taken care of by CHEO,” says Jeff. Tammy adds, “They’ve been one step ahead.” Logan’s home life will change a little bit but within a few months he should be back to the same active life. Now his parents know that he’ll have all the nourishment he needs. “There have been times in hockey he couldn’t even finish a game because he was too tired,” says Tammy. Teasing Logan, she adds, “Now you can get strong for hockey!” Thanks to CHEO, Logan can look forward to hockey and so much more.

News - A new law promoting local food in Ontario isn’t as strong as it could be, but a tax credit for food bank donations offers a hefty consolation prize, farmers say. The Local Food Act passed Nov. 5 in the provincial legislature and aims to promote food grown, harvested and processed in the province. The new legislation is part of a strategy to make more local food available in markets, schools, cafeterias, grocery stores and restaurants, according to a statement from the agriculture ministry. The act includes a 25 per cent tax credit for farmers who donate their surplus harvest to food banks and other free food providers like school nutrition programs, homeless shelters and seniors’ programs. It also establishes an annual “Local Food Week” in June. But some farmers are disappointed the act doesn’t include hard targets for local food purchasing. “There are still a lot of things they could do,” said organic farmer Robin Turner, who operates Roots and Shoots farm in Manotick Station. “(The law) doesn’t have any requirements for institutional spending.” He said he would have liked to see public institutions like hospitals, long-term care facilities and government cafeterias subject to minimum local food purchasing requirements. This idea was put forward as an amendment by opposition MPPs, but the Liberals said setting firm minimums would be too “prescriptive.” “What we have said is, let’s work with our partners to make sure that the targets that are set are realistic,” said Premier Kathleen Wynne, who also serves as the minister of agriculture, during house debate on Nov. 4. “ We want that creative tension, we want to be able to push each other, but we don’t want to be so prescriptive that it becomes burdensome for our partners—municipalities, for example.” Progressive Conservative MPP Ernie Hardeman said he was disappointed by that logic, but bolstered by the progress made between the first and third readings of the bill. “We put forward an amendment that would require targets to be set within 12 months and that they would be real targets, not just aspirational ones,” he said in debate. “While the government members voted our amendment down, at least a 12-month time frame has now been included in the bill.”
Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod said she also fought to include an educational component to the bill, so that Ontario students would learn more about where their food comes from, but that was shut down. She said she is still very proud of the bill, though, because of the efforts of her colleague SudburyLambton MPP Bob Bailey to include the food bank tax credit in the bill. “It’s a remarkable idea; its visionary,” MacLeod said. “It helps our farmers and it helps the needy. I think it’s going to have a really substantive impact.” Turner agreed that the legislation has been greatly improved since it was first tabled. “It was just so completely toothless, it was a feel-good thing,” he said. “But the revised act that includes a tax (credit) for food banks, I think that’s great.” He said food banks and other food

programs are always lacking fresh food, and canned food just can’t provide the same healthy diet. “Food banks don’t get enough fresh food in general, and that’s the stuff that will provide the most nutrition,” Turner said. “It just enables us to further justify donating that stuff to the food bank.” Roots and Shoots already donates some of its harvest to the Ottawa Food Bank, and it used to partner with them on a community harvest program until this year. Turner said the tax credit will encourage more farmers to donate the harvest they otherwise might just plow under if they can’t sell it in time. “It’s great to see some initiatives that bring down our tax bill,” he added. “It’s nice to see they can do that to encourage local food.” Bailey reiterated the importance of the program during the Nov. 4 debate. “While it will not solve the entire problem of hunger in our province, Mr. Speaker, I think it’s a commonsense solution to a clear need in my community and many other communities across Ontario,” Bailey said.

City to allow widened suburban driveways Draft rule would allow one third the width of yard to be used for parking Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Tired of residents widening walkways into driveways and paving over their yards, the city is drafting new rules to allow more room to park at homes in the suburbs. The issue stems from a move to build on smaller lots, even in the outer suburbs. The
city’s current rules limit the width of driveways to in front of the garage only – not the main home – and the laneway can’t take up more than 50 per cent of the lot. It sounds like a good policy in theory, say suburban councillors, but in reality it means people are packing their garages with the accoutrements of suburban living and instead parking on the grass of their
yards and filling up streets by parking their extra vehicles along the adjacent road. In some cases, homeowners create a wide interlock “pathway” next to their driveways to enlarge the area they are able to use for driveway parking. It causes a lot of neighbourhood strife, councillors say – more than almost any other neighbourhood issue.

“In the Nepean days, you never got any complaints about it,” said. Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder. Now her office gets calls about situations where a new homeowner moves in and tries to widen their “pathway” driveway to match the neighbours who did it before amalgamation. It sparks bylaw battles, Harder said, with neighbours constantly calling 311 on each other. “These are people who were buying nice homes and doing nice things to make their properties fit into their lifestyles,” said Harder, who did the exact same thing to one of her previous homes. “Then you get into this really crappy shouting match.” Now the city is drafting a rule to allow homeowners in the suburban area outside the inner edge of the Greenbelt (excluding Bells Corners and Blackburn Hamlet) to widen their driveways to take up a third of the width of the yard. The change would basically allow the kind of driveway widening – using a widened walkway – that was common practice before amalgamation. The change was supported by the majority of people who responded to a public consultation held in June, said Tim Moerman, the city’s planner in charge of the project. The portion of the widened driveway that ends up being in
front of the house could be up to 1.8 metres wide and would have to be done in a material that allows rainwater to seep through, such as pavers or turf block. That’s also an esthetic issue, Moerman said. “In the suburbs, the practical reality is that you’re probably going to have two cars,” he said. “While we are certainly encouraging people to use transit… realistically there is a context that applies to different parts of town.” Harder was pleased the city’s planners took that approach. “It’s just a recognition of our lifestyle,” she said.
cars off Stittsville’s local streets. “I’m buoyed that city staff is working with the community to find a solution,” he said. “At least we’ll get some uniformity.” In Stittsville, there are problems with people calling bylaw services if a neighbour’s car is parked on the street past the three-hour limit. Snow removal and snow storage are also problems, he said. But if people illegally expand their driveways to extreme widths, it creates a “concrete jungle” with much less space left for visitors to park along the street.

The issue of multiple vehicles and less room to store them is becoming more acute as more teenaged children continue to live at home for longer periods while they attend post-secondary institutions and begin their careers. Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri’s ward is feeling similar pressures and he said the new rule would take some parked
The proposed new rule could also guide how the city approves new developments, Qadri said, which could help tackle the problem in the long term. Residents can read up on the proposed changes at ottawa.ca/driveways and submit feedback to Moerman by emailing driveways@ottawa. ca by Dec. 3.

Latest plans include new section of Transitway beside 417 Continued from page 1
R0012411694_1114
Another delegate, David Jeanes, a rail advocate with Transport Action Canada, told the committee that delays in service shouldn’t be major stumbling blocks to connect major urban facilities to good transit. Kevin Kinsella, a South Keys-area resident and accessibility advocate, said there
are many reasons why connecting rail to the airport is a good idea. Better accessibility for people with mobility difficulties is one, he said, but south-end businesses could also benefit. Watson said he will meet with Mark Laroche, president and CEO of the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport Authority, to “continue these productive and col-
laborative discussions on how we can build the best transit system we can afford.” LA CITE LINK
The transit commission heard from delegates on other topics in the draft plan for transit expansions until 2031. Representatives from La Cite Collegiale requested a direct bus link from its east-end
campus to Blair Station. Mayor Jim Watson made a point of emphasizing how light-rail and O-Train connections to all the city’s post-secondary educational institutions would make Ottawa an “education powerhouse,” but a representative of La Cite didn’t think the proposed rail line came close enough, adding a bus link would set the foundation for a route connecting to the future new community to be developed at the former Rockcliffe air base. The college also asked the transit commission to consider extending the light-rail line past Place d’Orléans to Trim Road, which it has a secondary trades centre. The commission didn’t act on either of those requests. WEST END
The city is squeezing a little more transit into Kanata under its new plan – but not light-rail. During the transit commission meeting, city staff revealed an altered plan that would see a dedicated bus lane in the median of March Road extended farther north to end at Solandt Road instead of Carling Avenue. The changes would also add a $25-million new section of Transitway along Highway 417 through an existing tunnel under Valour Bridge to connect to Terry Fox station at the Kanata Centrum. The trade-off is that the changes remove a plan to create another off-ramp to separate buses from traffic at the Eagleson-March-Campeau
intersection, which would have cost $30 million. “We can build that underpass with no route, or we can build the route with no underpass,” said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. Instead, buses will travel in regular vehicle traffic for the stretch off Highway 417 to Corkstown Road, where specialized signals will allow the buses to cross into the median, where they will continue north on March Road on a separate busway until it reaches the Kanata North Business Park. It was important to make the best possible use of a future transit investment for Kanata, Wilkinson said, and it will be of more benefit to extend the new Transitway sections rather than build expensive grade-separated ramps that would only provide a marginal benefit. She said the new facilities will encourage people to park-and-ride at Terry Fox, which will be important as the area develops with around 3,000 new homes and new employment areas, including the nearby outlet mall under construction. Stittsville, however, won’t be getting new Transitway lanes as planned in the past. That’s a big problem for Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri, who said new residents have already been contacting him to express frustration with the change in plans. People moved into the area expecting it to be served by good transit, he said, and the community design plan allowed for higher densities because
of that. “I think you’re doing a disservice to this community,” Qadri said. Under the last transportation master plan, the developing Fernbank area was slated to get bus rapid transit and/or transit-priority measures before 2031. That project was put further down the list in the new plan due to an affordability analysis that indicated it is less urgent and of less benefit than other transit projects, said deputy city manager Nancy Schepers. The roadway space needed for the future bus facilities will still be protected so it can be converted for bus use in the future, after 2031. The city will also reserve dedicated space for buses when it builds a new north-south arterial road to serve the developing Fernbank area. Qadri said he is going to approach developers to see if they’ll front the money needed to built both phases of that road – including a northern leg to connect to Palladium Drive – at the same time. Asking developers to advance the money needed to construct infrastructure is something the city should be doing more often, Qadri said, adding that the same strategy could be used to fast track the building of busways in Stittsville too. Even a localized tax levy to fund transit improvements is something the city should consider, the councillor said. He’ll be pushing that issues further during debates about the transportation master plan by the transportation committee on Nov. 15.

Fashion show helps fund Rideau-Rockcliffe social programs Students from Elmwood School, Carson Grove work together for community michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - Students from Elmwood School and the Carson Grove community are working together to help fund the local resource centre’s afterschool and emergency food programs. A total of 31 students are organizing a one-day charity fashion show for the RideauRockcliffe Community Resource Centre. The centre will host the event on Nov. 17 at the Elmwood School in Rockcliffe Park. Executive director of the centre, Catherine Dubois, said the idea for the fundraiser came about as a way to reduce the divide between neighbourhoods in the Rideau-Rockcliffe city ward. “In our eyes, children and youth living in social housing and the students of Elmwood truly share a common denominator – they are our community’s greatest assets,” Dubois said. Dubois said it wasn’t long before the two groups wanted to create an event where both communities could come together to help give back. “Working hand in hand with youth, we hoped to raise awareness about programs and services that support children and youth to be confident, resourceful and successful in school and life,” she said. “Through a youth volunteer program that we operate every summer, we realized how effective young people are in raising awareness about issues that matter to them,” Dubois said. The Carson Grove youth have had the chance to showcase their talents with regards to fundraising, community outreach, planning and organizing, teaching sound
and lighting techniques and much more. Meanwhile the Elmwood School students have been facilitating the needs of the centre for the evening, including offering up the school’s auditorium for the event. And according to Dubois, there will also be a chance for many of these youth who have been working behind the scenes to take the spotlight as models, ambassadors and speakers during the event. “We are very proud of all the youth as they are very involved in their community and in our centre,” she added. Leading up to the show, Elmwood senior Celina Gilligan has been the school’s liaison and has been working with the centre on setting up the event, finding volunteers to help and try to fill any needs the centre may have to get this show off without a hitch. “We have always been donating to big charities, but getting the opportunity to help a local organization has been great,” Gilligan said. The Nepean resident said she has already learned a lot about the rich diversity of the neighbourhood where she goes to school. “It has been nice to connect with the area,” Gilligan said. “Most of us are not from this area, we come from across the city, and we go to a school that is located in a very affluent neighbourhood. To have the chance to learn about the other neighbourhoods in the area has been nice to learn and interesting to see the contrasts of this community.” Gilligan and the school’s head girl, Aashna Uppal, both say they hope this event, and working with the resource centre is something the school

Elmwood will host the event with Gilligan performing the master of ceremonies duties and Uppal modeling for the show. and the students continue to do for years to come. “This has been a great experience and we hope to make it a regular thing,” Uppal said. Leading up to the show on Nov. 17 the girls at the school have held a food and clothing drive for the centre. But it’s not only the young students who have come
together to help make this fashion fundraiser a success. Dubois said many local businesses have signed onto the project to help either donate clothing, support or funding for the evening. To name a few, Clothes Encounters of a Second Time,
One Tooth Yoga, Brachic and Delilah will be showcased at the event. “Guests at the event will also see a wide array of donated treasures from Ward 13 (Rideau-Rockcliffe area) businesses who have generously contributed items for

the auction,” Dubois said. The centre is also teasing potential ticket purchasers with the fact that there will be celebrity models. “Let’s just say there is one member of municipal council who is ‘runway ready,’” Dubois said. Tickets are priced at $100, $75 and $50 according to row selection and can be purchased by calling 613-7450073, ext. 126. There is also an option for an individual or business to purchase tickets and donate them to community members. Tickets will also be made available to community members who otherwise because of the cost would not be able to attend. The money raised will help programs at the centre’s community house throughout the week after school for young children as well as older youth. The programs offer homework help, skill-building, recreation and nutritious food. Families affected by poverty often struggle to have adequate food, so Dubois said the centre tries to make sure that all the children enjoy healthy and abundant snacks when they visit the community house after school. The event will also help the organization purchase a freezer for the community house so larger quantities of food can be stored for the after-school programming. In addition to the programs at the community house, weekly programs are offered at three schools in the area; Queen Mary, St. Michael and Manor Park School and in 2014, Dubois said she hopes to begin a program at the for high school students at risk of dropping out of school, working in partnership with a neighbouring high school near the community house.

Taking a S.T.E.P. in the right direction City project receives Eva’s Award for Ending Youth Homelessness Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com
News - A citywide project aimed at treating youth substance abuse was given a vote of confidence and a cash award on Nov. 7. The many partners and supporters that make up project S.T.E.P. were on hand to accept the 2013 Eva’s Award for Ending Youth Homelessness – a prestigious honour from youth homelessness organization Eva’s Initiatives that carries with it a $25,000 grant. The event was held at the Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health, one of project S.T.E.P.’s (support, treatment, education, prevention) partners. Project S.T.E.P. addresses the need for substance abuse treatment, education and prevention for young people through its community partners, and the participation of more than 50 secondary schools. “We’re all here today to celebrate success – the success of the youth who, with the help of many different organizations, have turned their lives around or are in the process of doing so,� said Senator and former Ottawa police chief Vern White, who has championed project S.T.E.P. as well as other youth addiction and homelessness initiatives in the city. “Many youth face challenges related to substance abuse and use. They are exposed to drugs and alcohol and begin to use them more and more. Many of those youth are struggling with difficult family situations, mental health issues, homelessness, young parenthood, and
other issues. Many drop out of school and have conflict with the law, and are drawn into a cycle of poverty and homelessness. Statistics have shown that 85 percent of adults with addictions started abusing drugs and alcohol before the age of 18. “For some youth, regular mainstream high schools are not places where they can thrive or even survive,â€? said White. “For this reason, project S.T.E.P. and United Way Ottawa partnered with the Youville Centre, Operation Come Home, Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health, and the Eastern Ontario Youth Justice Agency to establish addictions counselling and support for youth enrolled in their schools. Before 2012, there were no programs providing culturally adapted addiction support to Aboriginal youth in this region. Now, Wabano’s Working Hope program provides counselling and support to youth ‌ at the Odawa (Native) Friendship Centre.â€? A report crafted by project S.T.E.P.’s partners was released in conjunction with the award, detailing the results of the programs being offered as part of the initiative, which serves more than 150 youth. Titled ‘Breaking the Cycle, Building Hope’, the report showed that of the youth enrolled in program, 70 percent had reduced or stopped their drug use. Further to this, 75 per cent said the program helped them re-establish relationships with their family, partners and the community. Eva’s Initiatives’ National Initiatives Program director
Melanie Redman recounted how her United Way driver took her to the Operation Come Home in the Youville Centre (in Sandy Hill). “Until you’re in those spaces and see it in action, it’s really hard to know just how magical it is,â€? said Redman. Redman, who joined Eva’s Initiatives executive director Maria Crawford for the presentation, said their organization aims to create a “national movementâ€? that shares information and works together to end youth homelessness in Canada. “We’re delighted to recognize (project S.T.E.P.’s) efforts and success,â€? said Redman. “We applaud your approach that brings together a range of community partners, local champions and leaders in a coordinated community response for Ottawa.â€? Project S.T.E.P. plans to use the $25,000 prize to measure the progress of youth enrolled in the programming, in the hope of tailoring it to further improve outcomes. Taylor, 21, is one success story emerging from the Youville Centre, which offers supports for single mothers while providing them with a high school education. She enrolled at Youville in 2010, when her daughter was 14 months old. “I learned about Youville from a friend, and it grew from there,â€? said Taylor. “I went there with the intention of never fully graduating ‌ but made a lot of good relationships with my counselors, the staff and lots of girls who have things in common with myself. The daycare staff are amazing, as well.â€?
Taylor graduated in June as valedictorian, and is currently taking a year off to assist her daughter, who is entering school. Taylor will soon be heading to school again, having been accepted into a two-year course at Algonquin College that begins next September. “Youville’s an amazing place – not just to meet new people, but the opportunities that you’re given are amazing,� she said. Cindy Simpson, executive director of the Youville Centre, said each year the centre sees about 100 young women enter its doors – an enrolment number that has stayed steady over the years, she added.

OCDSB Trustee What ‘s new at the Ottawa Carleton District School Board This has been a good fall session so far in our schools. It is a noticeable improvement from last year’s tense labour situation. Extra curricular activities are now fully functional and students, parents and teachers are grateful for it. There is definitely a revived appreciation for these activities, including sports and drama, that add so much to our students’ school lives. Full Day Kindergarten Full Day Kindergarten is now in all elementary schools in Bay Ward with the exception of Lakeview Public School and Woodroffe Avenue Public School. These are both schools that have over capacity student populations and will be getting building additions to make room for the full day kindergarten program. Parents are interested in the impact of this popular initiative in their school and I will be meeting with them to discuss the plans. Secondary School Busing Services Expanded The OCDSB voted last month to equalize the busing services that students receive in a public school system compared to the Ottawa Catholic School Board. This means that high school students who live more than 3.2 kilometres within the Urban Transit Area from their designated school will be receiving transportation. Rural students already receive transportation. This change will make the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board students equivalent to Ottawa Catholic School Board students in how they get to school beginning in September 2014. The question is why was there a difference in the first place? It’s a good question but suffice to say that it was a funding formula variation from many years ago that meant that the public board had to pay the full transportation cost for students and the catholic board did not. Our Board decided that we could no longer let this inequity continue. Transportation provisions should not be a factor in choosing between a catholic school over a public school but in reality it has been a factor. As a big believer in active transportation I had mixed feelings about agreeing to this change however in most cases the distances are long and have dangerous, complicated routes.

News - A new non-profit corporation has opened in Orléans, aiming to become the world’s most innovative cybersecurity organization. “I think the major problem Canadians have is we’ve been trading privacy for security,” said Tony Bailetti, the executive director of Venus Cybersecurity Corporation and a professor at Carleton University. He wants the new company to become a global leader in cybersecurity: the protection of digital information and computer networks. Venus is a partnership between the National Security Council, Communications Security Establishment Canada, the province, the city, and Telus. Each partner has invested either cash or in-kind services for the corporation to start up. Several partners have already committed to purchasing memberships, which allow them to benefit from Venus’s services. Venus will make money by selling memberships, providing access to individual project-based services and through conferences. More expensive memberships give the members opportunities to have influence over the direction that Venus takes, and projects that it works on. Others who want to be part of one-off projects will have to contribute financially to that project. Bailetti was the lead author of a research paper suggesting a group with this unique structure could be what Canada needs to become a leader in cybersecurity. In the paper, he suggests the not-for-profit structure could potentially reduce the time it takes to make decisions and boost resource sharing between the private, public and academic

Innes Ward Coun. Rainer Bloess, left, was among those in attendance recently as Venus Cybersecurity Corporation announced it was setting up shop in Orléans sectors. “I walked in with a crazy idea,” Bailetti said of making his model work right in Ottawa. The city’s contribution includes a $100,000 retrofit to the first floor of the former Cumberland city hall at 255 Centrum Blvd., next to the Shenkman Arts Centre. It’s hoped that the new CSEC building off Blair Road and the new Venus corporation will have a domino effect that turns the east end into tech hub, said Ottawa-Orléans MP Royal Galipeau. Orléans’ business community has had many discussions over the past year about creating a niche industry in the community. With CSEC and Venus, cybersecurity could be the niche they’ve been looking for. “This announcement will bring new and needed employment to our community,” said Orléans Coun. Bob Monette. Some work is already being carried out by 11 employ-
ees, with plans to expand to 25 staff by the new year, eventually reaching 35 employees. Mayor Jim Watson said the announcement will help the city balance the lack of jobs, especially skilled positions, in Orléans. The city’s contribution includes 15 months of free rent and the retrofit bill. The 255 Centrum Blvd. building is also home to several councillors and Galipeau’s office. “This sector is expected to grow exponentially in the next years,” said Galipeau, who joked that employees should have to make a commitment to live in Orléans. Bailetti said he was drawn to Orléans because of the feel of the area, the highly educated population and the bilingualism of the residents. Most of the current 11 employees live in the area, he said, and he plans to move to Orléans soon. “Orléans has a lot going for

it,” Bailetti said. “It looks like a mini Palo Alto.” Bailetti said Venus will be focused on innovation and research and development, and won’t duplicate existing security processes or equipment. “All of this is state of the art,” he said of Venus’s plans. Currently, the city spends just over $2 million a year on its own cybersecurity to prevent hackering. Bailetti stressed how disastrous cyber attacks can be in the digital age. If a lab or department is encrypted, someone with the right knowledge could put a lock on the entire system and all its data. With many cars hosting internal computers, a knowledgeable hacker could “bring your car to a halt,” Bailetti said. “Best example I’ve got is Russia to Estonia,” he said, referencing one of the largest cyber attacks ever, which shut down many Estonian services. “They brought that country to a crawl.”

Manotick’s Falls house to be added to heritage registry Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
News - A 120-year-old building at Manotick’s busiest intersection is up for sale and Coun. Scott Moffatt wants to make sure the landmark stays the way it is. The home at 5514 Manotick Main St. is on the market, and a retail sign advertises the property as a “village mixed use zone,” possibly implying the property would be ideal for development. But the Rideau-Goulbourn councillor told a crowd of residents at the Manotick Legion that he plans to add the building to the city’s heritage register, so that attempts to demolish the building would

have to be scrutinized more closely by the city’s built heritage committee before approval. “If you lose that house you lose the corner,” he told the supportive group. Adding the building to the registry doesn’t make it an official heritage building, Moffatt said, but rather flags it for consideration if anyone tries to change or demolish the structure. “Five or six years from now, if someone comes forward with a demolition application, it would trigger a heritage designation consideration and give a 60-day reprieve from demolition,” Moffatt said. “It’s a way to protect a home without going

through the whole designation process.” The brown and white wood structure is a landmark in the village, especially since it sits directly on the village’s busiest corner. “When you see the Falls house you know you’re in Manotick,” said Rich McDonald, a former Manotick councillor. He said protecting the house is important, because it’s a landmark in the village. “Just like the mill is part of Manotick, that house certainly is as well.” Local historian Larry Ellis said the house was likely built in 1896 by Alex Montgomery after purchasing the property for $400. The home has likely only had three owners since it was built, he said, including Reg Falls, who died last December. The home is “uncommonly narrow,” Ellis said, and features steep pitched roofs, gables and bargeboard. A stone and concrete foundation surrounds a deep basement. The verandas, spindles, window frames and doors are all “interesting in contemporary design,” he said. Inside, the home has wide pine baseboards and wide framed arches and doorways, which Ellis said is typical of older type homes. The garage behind the home was used as a stable for horses.

Queensway Carleton to expand acute care for elderly patients Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
News – The city’s first acute care unit for the elderly will be the last piece of the puzzle that makes up geriatric care at the Queensway Carleton Hospital, said CEO Tom Schonberg. The Champlain Local Health Integration Network – the health authority that doles out funding to hospitals in eastern Ontario – recently improved the hospital’s plan for what’s being dubbed as the ACE unit, with 34 beds. It should open in the next two years. Schonberg said expanded care for the elderly was a cornerstone of the hospital’s recent expansion. He said the space for the ACE unit has already been shelled out.
“Now we just need to fill it with equipment and staff,” Schonberg said. The plan is to offer a collaborative approach to acute care, which would address concerns over patients with multiple conditions and focus on keeping seniors mobile. Cathie Gray, a clinical nurse who specializes in geriatrics, said patients can lose five per cent of the muscle mass during a typical hospital stay. “Often a patient will come in with something like pneumonia, which will destabilize their other conditions,” Gray said. Schonberg added he’s heard stories of people coming into hospital able to use a walker and coming out seven days later being unable to walk at all. See FOCUS, page 34

Children don’t need to see domestic violence to be witnesses ‘Effects of witnessing violence is very similar to if a child was directly experiencing violence’: counsellor Jessica Cunha
jessica.cunha@metorland.com
News - Children don’t need to see domestic violence with their own eyes to be a witness to it, said a counsellor who works with children.
Children pick up on body language and the atmosphere that pervades abusive relationships. “Witnessing implies to a lot of people that you see (domestic violence) with your eyes,” said the counsellor at the West-
ern Ottawa Community Resource Centre, who asked not to be identified as it could pose a safety risk for herself and the children she helps. The counsellor works in the child witness program, part of the violence against women
program, for children whose mothers have identified that their children have witnessed partner violence. “A lot of kids that I work with, they see nothing directly but they see all of the other stuff around that – the after ef-
fects. They see mom injured, they see police at the door, or they hear silence. They can see, they can hear, they can sense, they can feel and they can experience.” November is Woman Abuse Prevention Month and Metroland Media is publishing articles throughout the month
on various aspects of violence against women and the services offered by the resource centre. According to Statistics Canada and Health Canada: • Up to 360,000 children are exposed to domestic violence every year across the country See CONSEQUENCES, page 47

Bettye Hyde daycare hosts fundraiser trivia night michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - A Sandy Hill daycare is asking residents to put on their thinking caps to raise money for the nursery school’s expansion. This year’s Trivia Night fundraiser will take place at All Saints Church on Nov. 23. The co-operative nursery located in Sandy Hill will soon be moving to a new location in the neighbourhood, which will expand its programming and space for more students. According to organizer Lisa Lajoie the event aims to help raise a little more for the move and renovations. “It’s just for grown-ups - no children,” Lajoie said. “It’s a nice evening for parents to get to know each other and the community and this year, because of the move, we are hoping to raise more.” To help with bringing in more funds, Lajoie said this year the group has added more prizes and a cocktail hour. The evening, celebrating its seventh year, is unlike any other fundraiser. Yes, there are silent auction items from restaurants and local shops in

Last year’s Bettye Hyde Trivia Night fundraiser helped raise $6,000 for the co-operative nursery. This year, the event will take place on Nov. 23 at All Saints Church in Sandy Hill. Sandy Hill and the ByWard Market but there are also some original items. The centre is owned and operated by parents of the children so when it comes to organizing the fundraiser, Lajoie said the parents are encouraged to create, find or
share items from their own life to the event. “We try to encourage parents to think outside the box when it comes to donations,” she said. “For example, one mother is going to provide baking at your house for the next six months. Parents are
drawing on their own skills and resources to make silent auction items.” The trivia evening welcomes new, continuing and alumni parents to come out and support the centre. In the past, Lajoie said the evening brought in close to $8,000 for the nursery. This year, the goal is to raise the bar to $10,000 to help cover some of the moving and renovation costs. For the first time this year the night will include a cocktail party before the trivia night begins. Local DJ and alumni parent Trevor Walker will provide the music while guests mingle, bid on the auction items or purchase raffle tickets. Starting at 5:30 p.m., this portion of the evening is free. “It’s for people who might not be interested in trivia night but still want to come out and support us,” Lajoie said. For those willing to get their “trivia-fun on”, that portion of the event begins at 8 p.m. Competitors can purchase tickets to participate for $20. The goal, Lajoie said is to try and win the trivia night trophy. The trivia ranges from
historical tweets where participants must guess which historical figure tweeted what, Ottawa history and a popular culture category. “There is a lot of lighthearted competiveness, it’s a lot of fun,” Lajoie said. The daycare purchased the an old carriage house in Sandy Hill, an historical home at the corner of Blackburn Avenue and Osgoode Street to expand the daycare late last year.

2013 Canadian Space Society Summit – Canada’s Space Economy The 2013 Canadian Space Summit is taking place in Ottawa on November 14 & 15, 2013. The Summit brings together professionals, academics, and enthusiasts to explore topics in Technology, Commercialization, Education and Outreach, and Law and Policy as they relate to the aerospace industry. This year’s theme is Canada’s Space Economy. I was honoured when Summit organizers asked me to deliver a keynote address on behalf of the City of Ottawa, and to participate in the Education & Outreach panel. General (Retired) Walter J. Natynczyk, the new Canadian Space Agency President and William H. Gerstenmaier, NASA’s Associate Administrator of Human Exploration and Operations, are also speaking at the Summit.
News - An annual fundraising concert will help feed families this Christmas. The 22nd-annual Alta Vista Carol Sing concert will take place on Dec. 8 at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church. Organizer Francine Brisebois is one of the key individuals involved in the coordination of this event, and said for the past two decades, the objective of the concert hasn’t changed. Goodwill donations from the free event go directly to the Heron Emergency Food Centre, she said, while the magic of the
Christmas season is shared between several different musical groups and the audience. “It puts everyone into a Christmas spirit,” she said. “At the same time, we’ll be able to help the less fortunate.” The Christmas concert includes a myriad of different musical groups, including the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church Choir, the Kanata Choral Society, the grade 8 and 10 choir from De La Salle ,the University of Ottawa Medical Choir The Do No Harmonics, the Ottawa Wind Ensemble, and tenor soloists Dr. Fraser Rubens – a heart surgeon – and his son Zachary.
It just goes to show, said Brisebois, the help of others is needed and appreciated to make the event a success. “We’re very fortunate to have such a good mix of entertainers,” she said. With a bilingual concert, the event will cater to everyone who attends no matter their religion or beliefs, Brisebois added, as well as fill in the generational gaps. “This is a huge advantage for the people who are participating,” she said. “There will be different age groups and generations at the concert, but they’ll be united under one objective, which is to
I am proud to showcase the Ottawa region’s strength in this sector and to illustrate why Canada’s Capital is an excellent choice for businesses to establish and to grow their aerospace-related ventures.

share in the joy of music and the holiday spirit.” “Whatever differences we have, we have music that brings people together.” Brisebois said they have raised nearly $4,000 towards the Heron Emergency Food Centre over the past number of years. It’s important to note no one needs to feel obligated to make a large donation, she said. “If you can afford $5, then donate $5,” she said. “It all goes back to the food bank.” The organization has always been the event’s beneficiary, Brisebois added. The concert starts at 3 p.m.

PET OF THE WEEK
Pet Adoptions
BRANDO ID#A153521
Brando (A153521) is an outgoing and playful five-year-old neutered male domestic shorthair who arrived at the OHS in February from another shelter. This kitty loves to engage in play with people and toys. He especially loves feather wands, laser pointers and “Cat Dancer” toys. Brando enjoys being groomed and having his ears scratched, and although he is happiest when he has your full attention, he is also content to relax on a window sill and watch the birds and squirrels outside. Brando is a special needs cat because he is currently being fed a hypo-allergenic and may require ongoing veterinary care. To learn more about Brando, please contact the OHS at 613-725-3166 ext 258 or visit us at 245 West Hunt Club Rd.

who will say, “I choose you.” Will you play the starring role in Brando’s life? He has a sensitive stomach and needs special food. He was transferred to the OHS on Feb. 23, 2013, and after spending some time in foster care, went up for adoption. We are unsure how long Brando spent at the previous shelter, but one thing is for sure, we don’t understand why this handsome cat hasn’t landed himself in the perfect forever home!
Gus Hello world! My name is Gus. I am 16 weeks old and I love life! My favourite things in life so far are food, toys, and my big sister Ruby ( she’ll learn to love me, I’m too cute not to love, or so the human says ). You’ll often find me running around exploring, watching TV or lying on my human’s book while she’s trying to read. I look forward to seeing what life brings me next...

Sports - The Ottawa Fury professional soccer team has signed their first player; 28year-old Nicki Paterson. Paterson, a Scottish player that will fill one of the Fury’s international player spots, formerly played with the Charleston Battery in South Carolina. He said it was a quick decision for him to leave and sign with the Ottawa team after talking with head coach Marc Dos Santos. “It took me five minutes to turn around and say, ‘I like this guy,’” Paterson said. “Sometimes when you know, you know. It was quite an easy decision.” He said Dos Santos’ extreme passion for soccer got him on board. Paterson grew up playing in Scotland in the Motherwell FC, and turned pro at 17. He’s since played at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, the Scottish Second Division, PDL, USL Second Division and USL Pro. Paterson, a midfielder, was twice named his previous team’s most valuable player. Dos Santos said Paterson has the right vision and capacity to become the team’s first signed player. The Fury will play at Lansdowne, but will open at Carleton University’s field for their first five spring games. “He’s a winner, he wants to be in Ottawa, he wants to be part of it,” Dos Santos said in
The integrated Planning Act and Environmental Assessment Act process is being initiated for the Mer Bleue Expansion Area Community Design Plan. The study area is shown on the attached map. The purpose of the project is to detail the land uses (including the natural heritage system), transportation and servicing infrastructure for the expansion to the community south of the Avalon neighbourhood.

Ottawa Fury professional team coach Marc Dos Santos speaks at a press conference, which video conferenced with the team’s first signed player, Nicki Paterson, right, and his fiancée, Cheryl McSeveny, centre, from Glasgow, Scotland. Ottawa. Paterson said he’s played almost every position, except for goalkeeper, and is prepared to come to Ottawa fully on board with training, playing and interacting with fans. He felt he’d done everything he could with his previous team in Charleston, and was ready for the challenge of playing with a brand new team. “I’m very proud right now,” he said. “I knew this was going to be a really special team.” Ottawa will be a new team in the North American Soccer League in 2014, joined by two other expansion teams, the Indy Eleven and Virginia Cavalry FC. The first Fury player said he expects the team to take some time to gel, as he’ll be joined by 24 other players, who are still to be signed.
“I’m one of 25 guys, but I’ll do everything to help each and every one,” he said. Paterson and his fiancée, Cheryl McSeveny, joined in the press conference by video stream from Glasgow, Scotland. They’re due to be married before the start of the season, and will come to Ottawa around February to get settled as he begins his two-year contract. “I can’t think of a better place to start married life,” said McSeveny, adding they would have to adapt to the cold, “but I’m sure I can find a cute snowsuit.” Paterson hasn’t been to Ottawa yet, but has visited Toronto and Thunder Bay as a part of his soccer career. “I could have stayed in Charleston,” he said. “(But) I felt starting in Ottawa was 100 per cent the right choice.”
This first Open House will present the study process and schedule, guiding principles, background information, and will provide the public and interested stakeholders an opportunity to discuss the study with the project team. The following plans will be developed through three concurrent and integrated Class Environmental Assessment Studies /Master Plans: UÊ Ê Û À i Ì> Ê > >}i i ÌÊ* > Ê (EMP) will identify significant natural features to be protected and will establish any required infrastructure and remedial measures for mitigation, rehabilitation and enhancement of the significant natural features.

Brothers always argued over hand-me-downs
T
he station master had called that morning. It didn’t matter what Father had planned for the day, it would have to be put on hold. More important was going into Renfrew and bringing home the hand-me-down box that had arrived from Regina. When we got home from school, there it was, sitting in the middle of the kitchen, a big square wooden box that at one time had held bulk tea. It was lined with a kind of foil, and until it was opened after supper, there it would sit with its lid nailed shut. Of course, we didn’t lay a finger on it until after the kitchen had been “redded”
MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories up and our hands washed. I was never sure why we had to wash our hands before we could touch a dirty wood box that had come all the way from Regina on the train. Finally, we were ready. We sat around the box on kitchen chairs while Everett pried the lid off with a crowbar. There would be nothing in it but boys clothes, since Aunt R0012234198

Lizzie, the sender of the handme-down box had only sons, and there was really nothing in the box to interest my sister Audrey and me. So often we chose to sit at the kitchen table looking through the Eaton’s catalogue while my three brothers and Mother pawed through the big box of clothes. Father, of course, showed no interest at all. He was in his usual position in front of the Findlay Oval, half asleep in the rocking chair. But that night, Audrey and I joined the circle as piece after piece of boys’ clothes, along with pants and jackets that had belonged to Uncle Jack, were taken out. Down in the very bottom was a pair of men’s shiny shoes. Well Emerson grabbed them before anyone else had
a chance and claimed them as his own. The brothers had a pair each of well worn laced boots kept for church, and gum rubbers which they wore to school. Never had any of the three owned a pair of shiny black leather shoes. Everett thought because he was the oldest, they should belong to him. Emerson roared that he saw them first, and said there would be a roary-eyed fight if Everett tried to claim them. “They don’t look like they fit you,” Mother said. There was no doubt Emerson was bigger by far than Everett, but Emerson already had his gum rubbers off and cramming his feet into the shoes. He was getting red in the face and it didn’t take a genius to see that the shoes were a good inch shorter than Emerson’s enormous feet, but he was going to own them and that’s all there was to it. Before there was any further discussion, he carried the shoes upstairs and put them under the bed he shared with Earl and dared anyone to lay a finger on them. He never once tried them
on all week, but every night he brought them downstairs and rubbed them with an old piece of long johns from the rag bag. “I’ll be wearing those to church on Sunday,” he announced every night. Well, Sunday came, and after the morning chores, we all got dressed for church. Emerson came downstairs, walking like he had a bag of potatoes under his pants, but wearing the new shoes. Mother asked him why he was walking so funny, and he said he was breaking in the shoes. My sister Audrey said under her breath, “I think the shoes are breaking in him.” He hobbled into church, hobbled out, and could barely make it back into the house when we got home where he fell into the nearest chair and pulled off the new shiny black shoes. He let out a sigh of relief and then pulled off his socks. “What happened to your toes?” I asked him. They were as red as a beet and he had to use his fingers to unbend them. Everett was ready to claim the shoes when Emerson said he could buy them if he want-
ed, but he certainly wasn’t getting them for nothing. “They are my shoes, and they stay my shoes until you pay for them,” Emerson said, rubbing his toes trying to get the cramps out of them. Well, that’s when Mother entered the fray. She got up from the kitchen table, walked over to where Emerson and the new shiny black shoes were, grabbed them off the floor, and handed them to Everett. She never said a word. She didn’t have to. Everett slipped off his laced boots and even with heavy grey work socks, he was able to slip his feet in easily. They fit him like they had been made for him. Emerson hardly spoke to Everett for three days. The hand-me-down box never arrived that there wasn’t an argument over who was to get what. Only when the brothers came to blows and were rolling around on the floor, clutching the piece of clothing the fight was over, would Mother call a halt. She could stand just so much of the carry-on and then she would give each a slap on the side of the head or a yank on an ear while Father, sitting in his rocking chair, never took his eyes off the Ottawa Farm Journal.

Consequences of exposure to violence wide-ranging Continued from page 31
• Witnessing violence increases the chances that boys will grow up to act violently with dating and/or marital partners. For girls, it increases the chance that they will accept violence in their dating and/or marital relationships • There is a 30 to 40 per cent overlap between children who witness domestic violence and children who experience direct physical abuse themselves • For children who are exposed to violence, consequences can include emotional trauma, depression, injury and permanent disability, as well as other physical, psychological, and behavioural problems that can extend into adolescence and adulthood Abusers will often use children as a control tactic over the mother, said Vivienne, a counsellor in the resource centre’s violence against women program. “They dangle the children; they say this will happen to the child if you don’t do this,” said Vivienne, who prefers not to use her last name. “They’re first (threat) is, ‘Oh, I will take the kids from you.’ Women stay because they don’t want to lose their children.” But that poses safety risks – emotional and physical – for both mother and children. “The effects of witnessing violence is very similar to if a child was directly experiencing violence,” said the children’s counsellor. The resource centre offers a number of services through its violence against women program, including children’s counselling. The youth counsellor
works with children up to age 18 who have experienced violence, which can include emotional, verbal, physical and sexual. The first thing she discusses with them is their safety and how comfortable they are talking to her. “Then I explore what is violence, defining it, what does it mean, who’s responsible for it. Because I get a lot of kids that identify that they feel responsible,” she said. “Children are never responsible.” She also works with chil-
dren to indentify and explore all the emotions they can feel. “This is important, that kids hear messages, healthy messages, positive messages around it’s OK to love your dad … if dad is the identified abuser. But it’s also OK and it’s your right to be safe,” said the counsellor. “Children have a right to be with both parents but they also have a right to be safe … Safety is both emotional and physical.” It’s the hardest thing for
mothers to face, to hear that their children are being impacted by violence inside the home, said Vivienne, but a healthy mother has a great impact on her children – and the
first step is to reach out and tell someone. Counsellors at the resource centre offer women and children coping techniques and tools, and advice about how
not to engage in an abuser’s tactics. The centre has a large violence against women program that helps women living in Kanata, Goulbourn, West Carleton, Rideau, Nepean, Osgoode and Bay wards. For more information, visit wocrc.ca or call 613-5913686.

Aries, you have a lot on your mind, but only one concern demands your undivided attention. Find a quiet space to think things through and trust your gut feelings. Taurus, friendships may weaken if you don’t keep up your end of the relationship. Make an effort to get together with your friends and take the initiative with planning. Gemini, your approach to a problem is not working. It could be time to take an entirely new approach and see if this produces results. Be patient with this new approach. Don’t be surprised if a busy week finds you dog tired come the weekend, Cancer. Use the time off to recharge your batteries on this well-deserved break. Few things can hold your interest this week, Leo. Although friends try, they can’t seem to keep you focused on any one thing. Expect to jump from task to task this week. Virgo, an unexpected consequence appears this week and you are caught completely off guard. Don’t let others see your surprise. You must simply roll with the punches.
Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Libra, a spark of ingenuity hits you out of the blue and you know just how to put that inspiration to good use. Set your plan in motion as soon as you are able. Scorpio, after a few hectic weeks at home and at the office, now is the ideal time for a vacation. Cast all responsibilities aside and enjoy some rest and relaxation. Sagittarius, you may prefer to keep certain things to yourself no matter how strongly others insist you share. Don’t succumb to pressure to share those things you prefer remain private. Several new opportunities are coming your way, Capricorn. You just need to sort through all of them and figure out just what you want to do in the next few weeks. The new season has you feeling refreshed and ready for new beginnings, Aquarius. Make the most of this new lease on life and encourage others to join you. Pisces, maintain your focus around the office, as you will have to juggle multiple tasks in the week ahead.
