Community leaders share secrets to success Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - When Carissa Davis moved to Morrison Gardens, she wanted to find a better neighbourhood to move to as quickly as possible. She wanted safe places for her daughter to play, programs to keep her busy after school and access to good food. But instead of leaving to find those things elsewhere, Davis decided to make them come to her. “You can’t just sit around waiting for someone to do it,” she said. Five years later, Davis had mobilized a group of mothers to get donations and rebuild a portable by hand, including planter boxes and three

separate murals. A Good Food Market offering low-priced fresh foods is now coming to the neighbourhood, there are after-school programs and Davis is now building a career as cochairwoman of the Morrison Gardens Community House. It’s a lesson a lot of community leaders and social workers want to share with residents across the city who might just need a little bit of inspiration to be convinced they could make similar things happen in their communities. Those people gathered for a community leadership forum at the Confederation Education Centre in Nepean on Nov. 13, when the Community Development Framework brought together almost 200 front-

line workers and engaged residents to share stories and advice on promoting resident leadership “in all shapes and sizes.” Understanding that there is a spectrum of leadership and engagement – from being informed or supporting the efforts of others to actively participating and even organizing things yourself – is an important consideration, said Paula Speevak-Sladowski, executive director of Volunteer Canada. She was on hand to share some of the research her organization has found about what motivates people to volunteer, stay engaged and become leaders in their communities. See ACHIEVEMENTS, page 15

News - Ottawa is on the hunt for a new fire chief. Chief John deHooge, who has served as the head of the Ottawa Fire Service for five years, announced on Nov. 13 that he will retire at the end of January. DeHooge began his 35-year career as deputy fire chief for the Town of Oakville before becoming the fire chief in Waterloo. He arrived to lead the local fire service in 2009. “Chief deHooge has been a strong and progressive leader during his time in Ottawa,” Mayor Jim Watson said in a statement. “His focus has been on ensuring the safety of residents and visitors to the city. On behalf of my colleagues on council, I wish John all the best as he retires to spend more time with family and friends.” According to the city, DeHooge oversaw many initiatives, including enhancing workplace inclusion, developing a mental-health awareness program, improving staff communi-

The Ottawa Student Transportation Authority is giving parents until Dec. 1 to submit comments on proposed bell time changes of 10 minutes or more.

Feedback sought for bell times School bus authority has already approved small changes steph.willems@metroland.com

Community - The Ottawa Student Transportation Authority has approved minor bell time changes for a number of west end schools, but parents can still have a say on the most significant proposals. OSTA rolled out a list of proposed time changes back in the spring, and followed them up with a series of public consultations. On Nov. 10, the authority approved the changes for schools facing bell time differences of 10 minutes or less. For those schools facing more significant changes – and some proposals saw parents’ anger rise – the public’s feedback will continue to be accepted until Dec. 1.

In the near-west, St. George Catholic School and Broadview Elementary will have their bell times changed by just five minutes, while Connaught Public School and St. Elizabeth Elementary will see 10-minute differences in bell times. Moving further west, Severn Avenue Public School, St. Daniel Catholic Elementary and Our Lady of Victory School will see start times pushed ahead by five minutes, while Bayshore Public will see a 10-minute push-back of bell times. More contentious were the time changes for a group of other schools, hence the need for more feedback before a decision can be rendered by OSTA. Under the proposed chang-

es, Elmdale Public School’s bell time would advance 15 minutes, while W.E. Gowling Public School would fall back 20 minutes. Our Lady of Fatima School would fall back 15 minutes and D. Roy Kennedy Public School would see its bell time advance 15 minutes. In the Bayshore-Britannia area, the proposed changes are greater. R egina Street Public School will see a half-hour advance to 8:30 a.m. under the proposal that has yet to be approved. Feedback can be sent to OSTA by emailing feedback@ottawaschoolbus.ca, or by faxing 613-224-8840. More information on time changes and other functions of OSTA by visiting ottawaschoolbus.ca.

News - After some initial confusion over a fake municipal election campaign using a real candidate’s photo, unsuccessful Somerset Ward contender Conor Meade said it was all in good fun. Meade was perplexed when alerted to an online campaign using his photos for a candidate named Jonathan Silverberg in a fake election for “Ward 1,” which cropped up online starting around Oct. 29. After initially assuming the issue was related to spam accounts that try to collect followers, Meade eventually discovered the fake “Silverberg” campaign was part of a mock election held during a Canadian Jewish Political Affairs Committee aimed at teaching young people about democracy. “It’s just some kids having a mock election,” Meade said after going on a “treasure hunt” to sort out the reason his photo showed upwhere it did. “It’s pretty harmless and good to know someone isn’t trying to steal my identity. “I’ve invited their team to get together and talk about our respective campaigns. They won a majority while I placed fourth, so maybe I can learn something,” Meade said jok-

ingly. After reaching out to the students behind the fake Jonathan Silverberg campaign, Meade said they told him they contacted his campaign team for permission to use the photo. “I obviously don’t recall this, but it’s possible someone on my team replied and said it was OK, or maybe I did and then forgot,” Meade said, adding that he assumes he gave the students permission to use the image in advance. The conference started on Oct. 29, two days after Meade’s real Somerset Ward campaign ended after the Oct. 27 municipal election. The conference ended with a mock vote on Nov. 2. “I’m not worried about there being any confusion,” Meade said. “Their election started

after mine ended, and they deleted their accounts once they were done.” The @Jon4Ward1 Instagram account was still active on Nov. 13, but all photos that had been uploaded to the account and visible a day earlier were deleted. The website was taken down after inquiries were made about it on Nov. 12. With a strong and recognizable photo of Meade in place of the fictitious Silverberg and a proactive social media strategy that included following local reporters and politicos using the fake campaign’s social media accounts, the team behind the Silverberg campaign actually took home the conference’s prize for best social media strategy. But the fact that the campaign wasn’t real was not stated anywhere on the website or social media accounts for the “Jon4Ward1” campaign. Adria Minsky, spokeswoman for the Canadian Jewish Political Affairs Committee, said the organization sent out a tweet on its Twitter account, @CJPAC, on Oct. 31 alerting its 4,300 followers that a mock election campaign was taking place. Social media posts from the fake campaigns were linked into CJPAC’s Fellowship Conference event using a hashtag, #fellowship14, Minsky said.

Museum botanist sets off on new mission Scientist to join two-week Mars simulation in Utah Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

ROGER BULL, CANADIAN MUSEUM OF NATURE/SUBMITTED

Paul Sokoloff collects plant samples during an Arctic field expedition with the Canadian Museum of Nature. Sokoloff will represent the museum on a new mission, a Mars simulation mission in southern Utah this November.

News - Canadian Museum of Nature botanist Paul Sokoloff is on a mission to Mars. Sokoloff and a team of scientists, including two other Canadians, three other crew members from Russia, the United States and France, will make their way to the Mars Desert Research Station in Utah as the 143rd crew to staff the station. There the team will explore what life on Mars could really be like. “I’ve always been a space nut,” Sokoloff said. The goal is to explore the surrounding terrain and conduct analog space research. In an effort to make the scenario as real as possible,

the crew will be living and working as though they are actually working on Mars. The group will both live and conduct research in an air-tight circular pod and any time they need to step outside to explore the terrain, they will be required to put on a space suit. “It’s like exploring Mars, without leaving Earth,” Sokoloff said. He will serve as the crew’s biologist. He will survey plants in the area and manage a database of all the surrounding flora, fauna and geology. The program is supported by the Mars Society, a not-for-profit organization that funds research into the sustainability of life on Mars. It funds two research sites, on Devon Island, located in Nunavut and the Mars Desert

Research Station in Utah -both were selected based on the geology and terrain of the sites, which provide “Mars-like” environments here on Earth. Sokoloff’s team is one of a number of crews being evaluated by the society to see which team can be sent on a one-year mission to the Devon Island Mars simulation site. Psychological tests will be administered before, during and after the mission to help assess the team’s compatibility, leadership skills and cohesion. Ottawa residents can follow Sokoloff’s journey by checking out his blog, canadianmuseumofnature. wordpress.com/author/paulsokoloff or by following him on Twitter at hashtag #MDRS143.

Canadian flag anniversary sees original sewer honoured Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Joan Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Malley sewed first maple leaf flag as favour to father steph.willems@metroland.com

News - The first time she picked up a sewing needle, Joan Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Malleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have had imagined how her skill would one day make her an integral part of Canadian history. But, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what ended up happening. On a wintery night 50 years ago, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Malley â&#x20AC;&#x201C; daughter of assistant purchasing director Ken Donovan was called upon to sew the first-ever Maple Leaf flag for consideration by Prime Minister Lester Pearson. During an event held on Parliament Hill Nov. 14 and organized by the office of Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Malley was recognized for her work in crafting Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national symbol. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Often, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll refer back to Pearson and Diefenbaker, who had the great debates over this flag,â&#x20AC;? said Poilievre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their names are remembered in history, but not remembered, unfortunately, are those people who played a critical role behind the scenes to make things happen. Joan is one of those people.â&#x20AC;? Present at the ceremony was the Singer sewing machine that was pressed into service on the evening of Nov. 6, 1964. It was last used 25 years ago to craft a pair of pyjamas for a family member. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where it will end up in the long run, but I know that it

will be preserved as a national treasure, which we will hold onto as a nation as a memory of what you did for Canada on that evening,â&#x20AC;? said Poilievre. The weather was bad that November night, said Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Malley, who was sheltering in the warmth of her home when she received a call from her father, who was working on the flag design competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More than 6,000 suggested designs were received ... but three finalists were chosen,â&#x20AC;? she said of the competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Pearson wanted to see what the flags would look like flying. He put in a request that the three prototypes be ready to fly up at Harrington Lake (the prime ministerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Quebec retreat) the next morning.â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Malley bundled her sewing machine (and husband) into the car while a specially-commissioned taxi brought 30 yards of bunting material from an outfitterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s store in Hull. A sheet of plywood served as her sewing table that night. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Malley recalled what the flag

meant for her and her father. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My dad was a very proud Canadian,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He came to Canada looking for a better life, and they gave it to him. Being part of the birth of the flag that was the highlife of his life.â&#x20AC;? Briefly yielding to emotion, she recalled how her father loved to talk about the flag and the process that led to its creation, right up to his death at age 90. At the end of the ceremony, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Malley was presented with an appropriate gift - the flag that flew over the Peace Tower on Nov. 6 of this year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the 50th anniversary of her late night sewing session. She closed her remarks by stating her involvement in the flagâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creation was an effort that brought her no money, but a lifetime of pride. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always say no, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get paid, because I was proud to be a part of the birth of our flag,â&#x20AC;? said Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Malley, who then thanked Poilievre for arranging the tribute. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now, I think, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m paid in full.â&#x20AC;?

What students can teach us

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a positive sign for our future when young people take the lead. Students in the police foundations program at Algonquin College did just that last weekend, raising funds for the family of a police officer who died by suicide. While the majority of the money raised during the Students For Heroes event has been directed to the family of Staff Sgt. Kal Ghadban, the future police officers also made sure some of the proceeds went to prevention of tragedies in the years to come. The Heroes Are Human organization helps first responders prepare for on-the-job stresses. Our police officers, paramedics and firefighters may seem larger than life, capable of dealing with the worst life can throw at them, but while the physical risks of those careers may be clear to everyone, the mental stresses may be buried behind a little bravado. For most of us, we deal with difficult situations at work and for the most part can go home for

the evening or the weekend and blow it off. It is much more difficult to blow off the image of a horrific car crash, a tense standoff with a volatile individual or the feeling that must accompany not being able to save someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. There are many hazards that accompany the jobs of emergency workers and law enforcement agents. No one questions that someone suffering with a broken arm or smoke inhalation needs professional assistance, yet there must come a day when first responders also know that they can seek help for their mental health just as easily. With awareness, every first responder and member of the public should come to expect everyone who needs help will seek help. There is no stigma attached to seeking help for that broken arm. And over time, over generations, the stigma of seeking help with invisible injuries will evaporate. All it takes is a change in attitude. The helpful push in the right direction from college students is a welcome way to keep the change happening.

And now for the hard part

t was interesting reading the recent round of interviews with newly-elected city councillors. They all seem dedicated to serving constituents and the city. And theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all committed to listening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What will you never do?â&#x20AC;? the new councillors are asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will never stop listening,â&#x20AC;? they reply. That seems to be a common thread. Indeed, it has been a common thread for about as long as such interviews have been conducted. You can imagine senators in ancient Rome promising to keep listening to the publicus and vowing that their doors would always be open, even on the Ides of March. Not to make light of it, the determination to keep listening to constituents is a noble thing. And smart,

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town as well. More than one councillor has been voted out of office recently because of the perception they had been ignoring the wishes of the people. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible that at least some of those who make the promise to keep listening donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize it is a more difficult practice than it seems. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because the newly elected official, once in office, discovers there are many voices to be heard, and some of them threaten to drown out the constituents.

The councillor will hear the mayor for example, and might want to go along with him on a particular issue, just because being on the right side of the mayor might help down the road. The councillor will certainly hear the voices of developers and other special interests, who are skilled at communicating and often persuasive, even though their ability to exert influence through campaign contributions is now constrained. The councillor will hear his or her colleagues, who will sometimes trade votes: You support me on this one and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll support you on that one. Or sometimes the councillors will simply want to end one of those interminable meetings and it takes a brave rookie to prolong it by withholding consensus.

Most importantly, the councillor will hear from city staff. In almost all respects this is a good thing. Staff has the time and the resources to develop well thought-out positions on complicated issues. They know what the precedents and the legalities are and can present their recommendations authoritatively, often changing the minds of councillors who once held a different point of view. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s here where the promise to keep listening becomes difficult to fulfil. Even where the voices of the community are fairly unanimous â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not a common occurrence â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the councillor may be hearing other, expert, voices, saying: No, that may sound like a good idea but here are 37 reasons why it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, plus geological data and a bar graph.

Income splitting fails most Canadians

Ottawa Valley Tours MOTORCOACH HOLIDAYS

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse benefit. Income splitting also ignores the plethora of single parent families. Twenty per cent of Canadian children live in households with a single parent. That parent is usually a woman, and as the Globe and Mail’s Margaret Wente pointed out in a 2013 column on the marriage gap, “lone-parent families in Canada are four times more likely to be poor than are two-parent families.” As we head into an election year, opposition parties have already stood up to offer an ideological alternative to income splitting. With a reduction in tax revenue, income splitting is going to cost a lot, and will very likely come at the expense of social programs that could have a real economic benefit. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, Canada needs a national childcare strategy, something the NDP has proposed in direct opposition to the Conservative income splitting plan. This is an economic reality. Regardless of individual family “choices,” made mostly by upper-middle-class families to use daycare or not in the early years, a national childcare strategy, with a focus on access and affordability, will generate much greater benefits to all Canadians and to the economy. Many people think childcare only affects families with young children. But affordable, quality childcare can benefit the economy as a whole. We need women in the workforce to address an impending labour shortage. We need women earning, so they can spend and drive the economy and pay into pension plans to benefit all those boomers that have or will

ncome splitting is here. Two-parent families with one spouse working and making a six-figure salary are celebrating across the country? Why? It’s a major victory for this wealthy minority group. With income splitting, these rich families will save up to $2,000 per year, which means they can potentially take another family member on holiday to Mexico or buy more caviar or lease another Audi. I’m being facetious and have probably raised the blood pressure of many conservatives across the country. In the interest of full disclosure, my family, while certainly not in the above minority group, would benefit moderately from income splitting. But I’m not a fan. Cost versus benefit suggests income splitting will suck a lot of money from the government coffers, spreading tax savings thinly across the population, without generating much in the way of economic drive. It also leaves most families out in the cold. On the surface, income splitting doesn’t seem like a bad thing. Essentially, two-parent families with children under 18, where one parent makes more money than the other, can combine their incomes and save on their taxes. Fans of the policy say, “hey, my wife’s home with the kids and I’m making the equivalent of two incomes, why shouldn’t we save a few bucks?” Okay, but, as my first paragraph suggests, the true beneficiaries of income-splitting are the rich, suggesting the policy will widen the ever-widening income gap. (The rich get richer, while the poor get poorer). Income splitting ignores families in the lowest income bracket. Families who could really use extra money in their pockets each month to pay for groceries are not going to

per month for the poorest families and $2,000 for the highest income earners isn’t significant enough to offer choice to anyone. A government should reflect the values and the needs of the nation. If we’re paying taxes, our taxes should go toward programs and policies that will improve the lives of the collective and generate economic growth. Income splitting fails on both counts.

Windmill’s Chaudiere plan appealed to municipal board steph.willems@metroland.com

News - Windmill Development’s ambitious redevelopment of the former Domtar lands near the Chaudiere Falls have hit a snag. After having its rezoning application approved in October, the city’s development application page now states that the extensive project has being appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board. Earlier this year, Windmill – an Ottawa-based, environmentally conscious developer – sought public feedback on its plans to turn Chaudiere and Albert Island into a mixed-use development. The plan includes part of the Gatineau shoreline, and would accommodate 1,200 residential units, 17,000 square metres of office space and 4,800 square metres of retail. As well, public access would be restored for viewing of the

Chaudiere Falls. So far, due to legal process, there is no named individual or group behind the appeal. “The appeal period ended on Nov. 10,” said Tim Marc, the city’s senior legal counsel. “The city will make the names of the appellants available when the record is sent to the Ontario Municipal Board and becomes a public document, which will occur by Nov. 25, 2014.” Despite the appeal, Windmill is continuing work on its plan, hosting a public open house in Gatineau on Nov. 13 in advance of the Quebec portion of the project’s consideration by Gatineau city council. After several months of relatively opposition-free consultations, an outpouring of criticism appeared as the project’s rezoning application came to an official vote. At the Ottawa planning committee meeting on Oct. 2, dozens of delegates

showed up in protest of the plan – mainly aboriginal rights groups and representatives of the Algonquins of Ontario. The land in question is a sacred site that goes by the historic name of Asinabka, and many in attendance at the meeting called for the development to take place somewhere else. Online, the Indigenous Peoples Solidarity Movement urged “action” to ensure the islands returned to a traditional role of spiritual use. Development on the islands began in the mid-1800s as the lumber industry took off in the Ottawa Valley, with mills operated by J.R. Booth and Henry Bronson growing to become the largest in the world. Later, the power of the falls were harnessed by both Hydro Quebec and Hydro Ottawa, which continue to operate hydroelectric generation facilities there.

Community mailboxes coming to urban areas Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - The move to end door-to-door mail delivery will come to Ottawa’s urban neighbourhoods next fall, Canada Post announced Nov. 12. Residents and businesses at 46,710 addresses with postal codes starting with K1T, K1V, K1Z, K2C, K2E, K2G and K2H will switch to group-mailbox delivery in the fall of 2015. Some of the neighbourhoods affected include: Westboro, Carlington, Central Park, Iris, Fisher Glen, Fisher Heights, Centrepointe, Tanglewood, Trend-Arlington, Leslie Park, Qualicum, Crystal Bay, Bells Corners, Stonebridge, Leitrim, Hunt Club and Riverside Park. The changes stem from a money-saving plan Canada Post announced last December that will see most of the remaining five million Canadians who still have door-to-door mail service – about a third of the population – converted to group delivery by 2015. New community mailboxes are already in place for approximately 8,000 addresses in Kanata and more of the group mailboxes are coming to Barrhaven early next year. Residents in the affected postal codes will

soon receive a survey and information package in the mail. It will include information about how residents can express their “priorities and preferences” about their new delivery method. Comments can also be submitted online at feedback. canadapost.ca. Using that feedback, Canada Post says it will work with municipal officials to determine suitable locations for new community mailboxes. Residents will receive up to 10 letters or communiques during the process, said Anick Losier, spokeswoman for Canada Post, including a letter informing them of the proposed location for the community mailbox that would serve them. Canada Post will consider people’s feedback on those sites and could make changes. “In fact, many sites (Canada Post proposed in 2014) were changed based on the feedback from residents and municipalities throughout the process – in some communities, almost 50 per cent of sites,” Losier wrote in an email. Cost savings will come from workforce reductions due to attrition, Canada Post said. No regular full-time or part-time employees will lose their jobs as a result of the changes.

Normandy chicken gets unique taste from brandy Lifestyle - Here are beautiful braised chicken breasts flavoured with Ontario mushrooms, apple cider and Calvados (brandy made from apples in Normandy, France). Preparation time: 15 minutes. Cooking time: 30 minutes. Serves four. Ingredients

thyme • 5 ml (1 tsp) chopped fresh rosemary • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) salt • 50 ml (1/4 cup) water • 15 ml (1 tbsp) cornstarch

• 10 ml (2 tsp) vegetable oil • 250 g (8 oz) cremini mushrooms, sliced • 1 small onion, sliced • 1 clove garlic, minced • 4 boneless chicken breasts •175 ml (3/4 cup) chicken stock • 175 ml (3/4 cup) apple cider or apple juice • 50 ml (1/4 cup) Calvados or brandy (optional) • 15 ml (1 tbsp) chopped fresh

Preparation

In large a non-stick skillet, heat five millilitres (one tsp) of oil over medium heat, then add the mushrooms, onion and garlic. Cook, stirring often, for five minutes or until softened.

Remove and set aside. Heat the remaining oil in the skillet. Add the chicken breasts, and cook until they’re golden brown, about five minutes. Add the vegetables, chicken stock, apple cider, Calvados, thyme, rosemary and salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, turning the chicken several times for 12 to 14 minutes or until it is no longer pink inside. Transfer the chicken to a platter and tent with foil. Increase the heat to high and boil the liquid until it is reduced by half – about three to five minutes. Whisk the water with cornstarch and whisk it into the liquid and cook over low heat until the sauce is thickened. Spoon the sauce over the chicken. Foodland Ontario

Mayor’s 14th Annual Christmas Celebration Saturday, December 6, 2014 2 - 6 p.m. Ottawa City Hall Erin McCracken/Metroland

Littlest aviator Lea Adams of Gatineau, Que. enjoys taxiing her plane along a make-believe runway at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum on Nov. 16. The museum and the National Capital Region Military Family Resource Centre organized several hero-themed activities featuring costumed and real-life heroes to celebrate National Child Day.

Achievements to celebrate leave residents wanting more Continued from page 1

The balance between defining roles and boundaries and also offering flexibility for volunteers is an issue, as is the tension between volunteers preferring short-term involvement versus organizations seeking long-term commitments. Groups and their leaders should keep in mind that people like to volunteer together even when they are doing individual tasks, Speevak-Sladowski said, and that volunteering is a reciprocal relationship in which the needs of both the organization and the volunteer should be met. But to get there, residents must be motivated, and that’s where stories like Davis’s come in. Forum participants shared stories and advice on how and why they decided to get involved in their communities and what prompts them to keep working. Participants agreed it’s vital to thank people for their con-

tributions, whether it’s by recognizing them during a meeting, giving them a certificate, singing their praises to a boss or superior or by telling their story in the media. Volunteering can take the form of everything from volunteering a few hours at the food bank to starting a craft circle in an apartment building to helping a neighbour in a wheelchair fold sheets at the laundromat, participants said. It’s about making people feel connected and entrenched in seeing their community prosper, said Karen Hopewell, who said it always starts with a simple smile and a conversation. Others, like Davis, have a “take the bull by the horns” approach and show up with big plans and the energy to get them done. Davis had never been involved in her community before, but after seeing the state of the community house portable, which is used for after-

school programs, holiday celebrations and private events such as birthday parties, she headed to a hardware store and came back with samples of every type of flooring and wall material she could get her hands on. After rallying a small group of mothers to help and stick-handling sponsorships from Ottawa Community Housing, Home Depot and other organizations, the neighbourhood not only has a larger, nicer gathering place – it also features a group of about 40 engaged volunteers. Rebuilding the portable was when things really started taking off for the neighbourhood, Davis said. Once residents had achievements to celebrate rather than crime to apologize for, they wanted to continue that momentum, she said. Davis said others who want to see change shouldn’t question their abilities or hesitate. “You need to find the motivation and make it happen,” she said.

This fun-filled celebration will include ice skating on the Sens Rink of Dreams, hot chocolate, roasting marshmallows and horse-drawn wagon rides on Marion Dewar Plaza. Inside City Hall, meet Santa and Mrs. Claus, make a craft in Santa’s workshop, have your face painted and enjoy live performances. Enjoy special treats from BeaverTails and Lindt! To help those in need and to share in the spirit of the holiday Ottawa Food Bank season, admission to this sponsored event is a non-perishable food donation to the Ottawa Food Bank. OC Transpo will offer free bus rides on all routes to and from City Hall from 1:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. to children 11 years and under when accompanied by a fare-paying adult. 2014-04-6020

Hand-me-down box contained surprise treasures

he hand-me-down box had arrived from Regina. At least twice a year, Aunt Lizzie sent the big wood crate that at one time held bulk tea. Always boy’s clothes – she had two sons. Never anything in it for my sister Audrey or me. We didn’t expect anything, so we weren’t disappointed. Well, really, there was sometimes something for me, but it wasn’t anything I looked forward to. It was a small cardboard box, with my name written in ink, and inside were horrible brown laced boy’s brogue shoes. I was the only one they would fit, and I hated them with a passion. Sure enough, there was the cardboard box, right on top of the mounds of hand-medown clothes, that at one time had graced the backs of my very rich cousins out in Regina. Mother had situated herself in front of the box to unpack it one piece at a time. Once, my brothers were allowed this job, but after one glorious, dragged out, bloody fight over an alpaca sweater, the boys had to sit on the floor while mother took

chair by the Findlay Oval with the Family Herald and Weekly Star. Mother, as organized as ever, placed the clothes in matching piles, so there was a heap of sweaters, shirts, pants, and an assortment of odds and ends she would find a use for. Nothing was wasted. Audrey and I paid scant attention to the box or what was being taken out of it. Then Emerson asked, “What is it?” Mother said it was a raincoat. I glanced over to the centre of the kitchen floor where all the action was taking place. None of us owned a raincoat, for heaven’s sake. If we got wet walking to or from school, we got wet, and that was the simple truth. Mother held it up. “It looks like it was made for a midget,” Everett said, obviously very relieved it would never fit him. As one, four pairs of eyes left the box and settled on me at the kitchen table. “Oh no,” I wailed, “I’m not wearing that to the Northcote School.” Bad enough that I had to wear boy’s shoes that came from Regina. Mother told me to go

MARY COOK Memories

out everything, from Uncle Jack’s well worn suits, felt hats, flatted out from the packing, and men’s shirts of every description. Mother warned my brothers if there was one word of arguing over who got what, the box would have its lid nailed back on and the whole thing dragged out to the summer kitchen. Often Aunt Lizzie would tuck in a piece of new material for Mother, knowing full well it would be put to good use, or there would be one of her purses that looked like it had just come out of the showcase of an elegant store. Audrey and I had settled ourselves at the kitchen table thumbing through Eaton’s catalogue. Father, as usual, not the least bit interested in the box, had moved to the rocking

over and try it on.   It was as black as a boot, and stiff, boy was it stiff, with big silver clips all down the front of it. “Be great for Halloween. Too bad it’s over,” Emerson snorted.   I prayed on the way over to the pile of clothes that it wouldn’t fit me. Mother fed my arms into the coat, did up the clips and declared it a perfect fit. The inside was exactly like the underside of our oilcloth on the kitchen table. I told her I was smothering in it. I told her I couldn’t bend my arms. I told her it smelled just like the tires on the Model T. I told her I would rather be caught dead than be seen in something called a raincoat that I’d never even heard of before. As happened so often in my young life, my sister Audrey saved the day by saying I wouldn’t have to worry about it anyway, because winter was just around the corner, and I would soon be in my melton cloth pants and jacket. “Nobody wears a raincoat in the wintertime,” she said.  “And by next spring you will have grown at least a foot, I’d say,

and it won’t fit you anyway.” Well, Mother wasn’t about to waste a perfectly good piece of clothing that came in the hand-medown box. She hated mice with a passion, and even though everything was battened down in the summer kitchen, like the wood lid on the sauerkraut barrel, and the tin boxes that held frozen pies and cookies, she was never sure the mice couldn’t find a way to invade what would be going into our mouths. The next morning when I went to the summer kitchen to bring in wood for the wood box, as I did every morning, there was the raincoat draped over the sauerkraut barrel, with the round wood lid squeezed tight on top of it, offering further protection from the field mice which came into the summer kitchen to avoid the outside elements. I would never know if Mother used the raincoat on the barrel because she actually feared a mouse would get into the barrel. Just maybe she figured having to wear boys brown brogues to the Northcote School was punishment enough.

Princess Anne presents local Duke of Edinburgh Awards Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - A special group of Duke of Edinburghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Award gold level recipients received their awards from Princess Anne on Nov. 10, as she was in Ottawa for a two day royal tour. The Duke of Edinburghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Award recognizes youth ages 14 to 25 who complete challenges in four divisions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; community service, skill development, physical recreation and adventurous journey. The recognized winners gathered at the Chateau Laurier hotel completed their gold levels, the highest level which follows bronze and silver levels. Ceremonies are held at different times in different parts of the county, but youth from all over Canada travelled to

Ottawa for the special ceremony, which saw Princess Anne present the gold award certificates to the youth. Princess Anne is the Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter. Mississauga recipient Tracey Thompson, 25, wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to attend a previous award ceremony in Toronto, but was happy the Princess was at the ceremony in Ottawa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thankful I got to come down here and meet the Princess,â&#x20AC;? Thompson said after the ceremony. Thompson said Princess Anne asked her about her schooling, and she got a chance to tell her about her volunteer work with the Mississauga Food Bank and a senior care facility. For Thompsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skill development, she completed a life skills program as a firstyear student at Sheridan College living in residence, as she

uses a wheelchair and has a service dog. At the gold level, award recipients also need to complete a residential project, such as the marine biology excursion in New Brunswick that Kanataâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anna Kostyniuk participated in. She said her canoe and portage journey she undertook was one of the hardest things sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d ever done. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By the end of the journey, we were completely drained by satisfied,â&#x20AC;? she said. Kostyniuk was chosen to speak on behalf of all the award recipients at the ceremony. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having a member of the Royal Family acknowledge our achievement s is memorable and meaningful for all of us,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each of us have undergone our own unique journey to be here today.â&#x20AC;?

Ottawa Hospital asks women to ‘Do the Blue’ Social media campaign aims to improve women’s health Ottawa West News staff

News - Creating a healthy society begins with you. That’s the sentiment behind a new social media campaign started by the Ottawa Hospital, which aims to challenge women to take better care of their health. Called the Do the Blue Challenge, the initiative asks that women paint their fingernails “Ottawa Hospital blue,” and share a photo of themselves on social media while pledging to improve their personal health.

Those participants are then asked to challenge their friends to do the same, and make a donation to the hospital to support women’s health. “We want women in Ottawa to pledge to take better care of themselves,” said Peggy Taillon, co-chairwoman of the Healthy Women Healthy Community Campaign. “We all need to be active participants in our own personal health, but also in the health of the incredible women that surround us each day.” A number of women’s

health services are in the process of being expanded at the Ottawa Hospital, at a cost of $20 million. By raising this money, the Healthy Women Healthy Community Campaign will help build a new Breast Health Centre at the hospital’s General campus and expand a surgical suite at the Shirley E.

Mayor’s Report

Science and tech museum to reopen Thank You in 2017 after $80.5M overhaul Government funding nixes option to build new, dedicated facility at Lebreton Flats

By Jim Watson

On October 27th I was given the great honour of serving as your Mayor for 4 more years. Today, I am writing to say thank you. The support I have received from Ottawa’s residents over the past year has been nothing short of extraordinary. As a candidate for Mayor this year, I canvassed in all 23 wards, participated in more than a half-dozen debates, worked hard to put forward a platform that would move our city forward while living within our means, and all while continuing on with my usual Mayoral duties. What made campaigning so rewarding for me was the chance to speak with Ottawa’s residents 1-on-1 at their doors day after day. My job as Mayor puts me in touch with tens of thousands of residents each year through different events and programs but it doesn’t leave me much time to visit residents at their doorstep to hear their ideas and concerns firsthand. Doing so during the campaign reminded me again how compassionate and diverse our city’s residents are and the support I received at the door was what kept me working hard every day. The campaign, in combination with my job as Mayor, made for some very long days for me and for my campaign team. Despite the positive response we received from the outset, we took nothing for granted and made sure that come election night we could look back and honestly say that we gave it everything we had. As the results came in on election night I felt truly honoured to have received the largest percentage of the votes cast and the highest number of total votes in Ottawa’s amalgamated history. This is a mandate for progress in our city and as I set out to lead this new term of Council I promise not to forget this support. I have been hard at work since the morning after the election finishing this first term while planning the coming four years. These years will see us open the first phase of our LRT system, clean up the Ottawa River, make the key investments in our city’s future while being fiscally responsible in the present, and celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017. I look forward to working collaboratively with my council colleagues to push our great city to new heights. I am forever grateful to be your Mayor and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support. Contact: jim.watson@ottawa.ca www.jimwatsonottawa.ca

Ottawa West News - Thursday, November 20, 2014

News - Talk of opening a new Canada Science and Technology Museum at LeBreton Flats was nixed Monday with the federal government’s promise to infuse $80.5 million to upgrade, repair and modernize the mould- and asbestos-contaminated facility. “For all intents and purposes, this will be a new facility by the time we’re done with it,” said Alex Benay, president and chief executive officer of the Canada Science and Technology Museums Corporation, which manages the national museum. Canadian Heritage Minister Shelly Glover, who made the funding announcement at Library and Archives Canada, said the money will pay for a new roof, mould removal, modernizing the exterior façade, seismic and fire safety retrofits and expansion of the current exhibit space, which currently only showcases two per cent of the museum’s collection. Construction is expected to begin in spring 2015 and the museum will reopen in the summer or fall of 2017.

“I think the one thing when we were discussing what to do in going forward with this – no patch jobs, no Band-Aids,” said Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird, speaking in his role as the minister responsible for the National Capital Region. “This needed a major revitalization.” The national museum, which has been at its present location on St. Laurent Boulevard since 1967, unexpectedly closed Sept. 11 and upwards of three dozen staff were evacuated after high levels of airborne mould, caused by the leaky roof, were detected during regular maintenance. After mould was detected, officials hoped to have the Canada Science and Technology Museum operational again within weeks. The reopening was then postponed until at least January 2015 due to the complexities of removing the mould without jeopardizing the seal covering the asbestos-laden roof. Compared to “other options” and keeping taxpayers in mind, the decision to overhaul the current site is the “most reasonable and responsible conclusion,” said Baird. He downplayed his enthusiasm in

Ottawa Programming Partner: Media Partner:

recent weeks over the idea of moving the museum to LeBreton Flats, saying there wouldn’t be enough space at the site for a larger Science and Technology Museum. “I have to be very frank. I never imagined that Minister Glover could be so successful so quickly in securing such a significant amount of money to rejuvenate the current site,” he said. Calling the rejuvenation a “significant step” by the federal government, Glover said a brand new museum would cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars. “This made the most sense,” she said. “It’s going to be done in an efficient way. It’s going to be done in a timely fashion and it’s going to modernize a museum that is in a location that is prime.” Museum staff feel very “confident and comfortable” the museum will continue to operate at its current location, said Benay. While the science museum has suffered from “stagnant” attendance compared to the corporation’s Canada Space and Aviation Museum and Canada Agriculture and Food Museum, Benay blamed the experience at the museum rather than location for waning visits. “Two of our three museums, their attendance has grown year after year and none of them are in the downtown core,” he said. Museum officials are hopeful the new design will incorporate space for revolving exhibits to maximize the experience for visitors, said Benay, adding the upgrades will ensure the museum becomes a “hotticket item” when it reopens. How long construction will last will depend on the problems caused by the leaky roof. “We’re going to see what the extent of the damage is,” said Benay. “The problem that we’ve had is it’s been 40 years of patchwork on this roof so every time you peel an onion layer, you see what’s underneath. “It’s something that we’ve been trying to tackle for years now so we’re happy that it’s finally come to an end.” Next steps also include moving many of the artifacts from the building into storage facilities on nearby Lancaster Road. A portion of the funding will be earmarked for the lease of a facility that will also hold some of the artifacts during construction.

Progressive Conservative leadership contenders gather Five challengers vow to transform beleaguered party Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

News - Five contenders vying for leadership of the Ontario Progressive Conservatives vowed on Nov. 15 to take back the party from the forces that led them to electoral defeat in June. In an appearance at the Marconi Centre, the five PC MPPs outlined why they felt they were the right choice to replace former party leader Tim Hudak in the May 9, 2015 leadership contest. Nipissing MPP Vic Fedeli, Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod, Lambton-KentMiddlesex MPP Monte McNaughton, Whitby-Oshawa MPP Christine Elliott, and Barrie MPP Patrick Brown all stated that they, as well as other candidates and their supporters, felt let down by those who orchestrated this year’s provincial election campaign. MacLeod, who spoke first, said her and another candidate she was campaigning with in Ottawa found out on Twitter that their party planned to not fund Phase 2 of the city’s LRT project. “That was a very tough day for us in this city - the party platform was released without us having any input into that,” said MacLeod. “We have lost

four consecutive elections in a row, with three different leaders from three different parts of the province, and three different parts of our party. We have a lot of soul searching to do, and we have a lot of work to.” Retaining the party’s rural base while making gains amongst urban voters is key to any PC resurgence, said MacLeod, adding that any campaign team should be subject to oversight from the caucus and the party membership. MacLeod expressed a wish to see the opportunity-filled atmosphere that greeted her upon arrival from Nova Scotia in the 1990s to return to Ontario. Vic Fedeli gave a run-down of the province’s finances – a $12.5 billion deficit and a debt approaching $300 billion - as the key reason why Ontario needs a change of leadership. “This is what we woke up to this week in Ontario,” said Fedeli, who panned the Liberal government’s current ideas for raising revenue, one of which is the selling of 12packs of beer in the LCBO. “This is a government that simply cannot control their spending – they don’t want to control their spending – they’re looking for nickels in the couch,” said Fedeli.

Restoring pride in the party is crucial to its resurgence, he said, as is a much-needed move away from decisionmaking based purely on political ideology. Monte McNaughton had spent most of the summer and fall touring all 107 ridings in Onatrio, and returned with a clear message from members and voters. “I heard loud and clear … that the culture in our party has to change. It’s very topdown,” said McNaughton, who has issued a party reform paper calling for the ability for party members to vote on a platform before its public release. McNaughton spoke of meeting a tearful Woodstock man on an airplane who was leaving his family to fly to Fort McMurray to find work. “We need to get our fiscal house in order … and we need to restore opportunity in this province,” he said. Patrick Brown also singled out the architects of the previous election in calling for party reform, stating that the PCs need to stop alienating their own voting base. “We became the ballot question,” he said of the controversial policy announcements that occurred during the election. “No longer can it be

When you look at the failures of the past – whether it’s the faith-based funding (in 2007) or the 100,000 job cuts (in 2014) – the same group has been in charge.” Echoing Fedeli’s sentiments, Brown said the party was wrong to always vote against the governing Liberals. “I want the brand of the

party to be open-minded, beyond grandstanding, and one that will champion a good idea,” he said. Christine Elliot, who was recently endorsed by ex-Premier Bill Davis, expressed a need for party reform and bottom-up policy creation, and said the message needs to be delivered about why fiscal conservatism is important. “Good fiscal policy enables good social policy,” said El-

liot, referencing the need to fund special care for those living with autism and disabilities, as well as seniors supports. Government funds going to pay the interest on the province’s debt would be better served helping people improve their health and ability to enter the workplace. “Social inclusion is important, but it’s also good economic policy,” said Elliot.

News - Ottawa will get less money from the provincial gas tax fund this year, but the city will have an extra $33.7 million to put towards public transit. Last year, the Ontario government made the gas tax fund a permanent annual contribution for municipalities, said Ottawa South MPP John Fraser. Ottawa got around $36 million from the fund in 2013. The formula is based on transit ridership, Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi said.

Local Liberal MPPs and representatives from OC Transpo gathered in the transit authority’s garage on Industrial Avenue to make the announcement on Nov. 13. The money will go towards “the infrastructure needs of the city, including resources moving forward,” said Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri, vice chairman of the transit commission. Troy Charter, assistant general manager of operations with OC Transpo, said the city’s $2.1 billion light-rail transit project currently under construction is one obvious project to funnel the money towards, as is OC Transpo’s bus refurbishment program. The rail line connecting Tunney’s Pasture to Blair station is slated to open in 2018. The province will dole out $321.5 million in gas-tax money to 96 municipalities across the province.

Strathcona Heights children ages five to eight keep a strong beat with West African Drumming instructor Fana Soro during the after school program, Awesome Arts at Viscount Alexander Public School on Nov. 13. The children are preparing for the seventh annual Awesome Arts Festival on Nov. 28 at the school. Dragon said. “All the workshops are at their capacity.” Based on the enthusiasm shown by the students, he is already looking ahead to find funding to support something similar next year too. The festival will be hosted by spoken word poet and musician Jamaal Jackson Rogers and the evening will also include performances from beat-boxer and musician Julia

Dales and Ottawa-based rapper Peter Joynt. The children’s performances will range from singing, drumming and theatre and animation. Some of the stories will be based on stories from the community. The free festival begins at 6:30 p.m. More information about the event or the program is available at shchc.ca.

News - Every Thursday night, something pretty awesome is happening in the halls of Viscount Alexander Public School. For the past eight weeks more than 60 Strathcona Heights children have stayed at the school to participate in the Awesome Arts workshops, where children aged five to 18 years have been learning how to drum, dance, sing, write and perform poetry, create animation and shadow theatre productions. So far the results have been quite spectacular and next week the participants will be ready to share their new talents with the rest of the city. The seventh annual Awesome Arts Festival will take place at the school on Nov. 28, offering parents and community members the opportunity to see just how awesome teaching arts to children can be. The festival is a program from MASC, a multicultural arts organization which teaches students different forms of arts and cultures in schools. To date, the Awesome Arts programs have run in a number of communities in the city, providing more than 275 individual workshops led by 30 professional artists. “Awesome Arts is a rewarding program where the end results are not only empowering to the participants, but offer unique and thought-provoking performances to the general public during the festival.” said Micheline Shoebridge, director of Awesome Arts. This year the program is in Sandy Hill and is co- managed by the Sandy Hill Community Resource Centre, which applied and received funding from Telus Community Boards and the city. Gerald Dragon, a youth worker at the community resource centre, said the focus on arts in schools and after school programming is becoming sparse, so he was happy to find funding to support this program. “It’s been tons of fun,”

News - Glebe residents have 10,000 reasons to shop locally this holiday season. The fourth annual Glebe-Spree campaign was launched by the Glebe Business Improvement Area on Nov. 15, offering people who choose to do their shopping locally the chance to win $10,000 of merchandise or service from participating businesses. The contest rewards shoppers with a sticker for every $20 spent at stores in the Glebe. Participants will use a mini-brochure called a “passport” to collect the stickers. Passports are now available for shoppers to pick up at participating Glebe businesses. Once $200 worth of stickers is collected, contestants can enter for a chance to win the $10,000 prize. The campaign has two additions this year – an Early Bird prize valued at $1,000 from Kunstadt Sports and special “Two Stamp Tuesdays” throughout the campaign. The contest ends on Dec. 31 and the draw date to determine the contest winner will take place on Jan. 5, 2014.

Farmers market returns to Lansdowne for holidays season Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Starting on Nov. 30, the Ottawa Farmers’ Market vendors will be coming home. After three years in exile during the redevelopment of Lansdowne Park, the market will return to the Aberdeen Pavilion this holiday season with its annual Christmas Market. “We are pretty excited,” said Tara Simpson, spokeswoman for the market. “We are calling it our homecoming.” The summer market, which first

started at the park in 2006, shifted over to Brewer Park in 2012 when construction began. In the interim, the annual Christmas market had operated from the Ernst and Young Centre in Ottawa’s south end. Looking forward to the return, Simpson said the park is definitely different from the one the market left three years ago. “The environment in general is different at Lansdowne, it looks great, and we are happy to go back there,” she said.

News - If you know someone who is helping kids stay healthy, the region’s children’s hospital wants to know about it. The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario kicked off its 20-week Healthy Kids information segments on CTV on Nov. 12 to share its expertise and provide information to parents. “CHEO boasts some of Canada’s top experts in physical and mental health of children and teens – passionate people drawn to their professions and to CHEO because they want to help kids be their healthiest,” Eva Schacherl, CHEO spokeswoman, said in

a statement. “We hope to inspire our community to work together to change our children’s lives so that they can be their healthiest,” said Alex Munter, CHEO president and chief executive officer. The end of the series will coincide with the hospital’s annual Healthy Kids awards ceremony on March 25 in recognition of people who are contributing to the health of children and youth, from sports coaches and teachers to community groups and healthservice providers, among others. Organizations, individuals and programs can be nominated for CHEO’s awards. Selfnomination is encouraged.

Retired teacher pens tale on school of hard knocks Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

ADAM KVETON/METROLAND

Bridlewood author C. Roy Fortune shows his latest book, Like father, like son, on Nov. 6.

Arts - Life is not always kind and can often be cruel, but however bad it is, it can be overcome, says Bridlewood author C. Roy Fortune with his latest book, Like father, like son. Fortune, a retired teacher with 36 yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experience teaching Grades 1 to 13, has met a lot of kids in various stages of their lives. As a foster parent, he has also tried to help children who have grown up estranged from their parents and disadvantaged. The experience had its ups and downs, he said. But his latest book focuses on a kid who makes something of himself despite a terrible

start in life. The message Fortune hopes to send with his latest book lies in that triumph, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Particularly, that people can change, that there is a possibility of forgiveness and of change, and of turning your life around,â&#x20AC;? said Fortune. His book chronicles the life of Tim Davis, born to a drug addict mom and a criminal dad, and then passed from foster family to foster family until he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand it. Fortune does not blush at describing Davisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; gritty beginnings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is some real dark stuff in it,â&#x20AC;? he said, with the book opening up describing the squalid circumstances of Timâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother giving birth to him. Fortune is careful to note

that Timâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life is not inspired by his own in any way, but more of a result of books heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s read and his own imagination. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got thinking, what would it be like if a child had a terrible, terrible life to start with, and all the way through, he had a difficult time, and then finally he met a family that was able to help him through the difficulty, and to help him overcome his anger,â&#x20AC;? said Fortune of his inspiration for writing the book. Though the book likely takes some inspiration from Fortuneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own time as a foster parent, as well as his motherin-lawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It had some good points and it had some difficult points,â&#x20AC;? said Fortune of his time as a foster parent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One child that we had was particularly difficult. He had come through a really, really difficult time. So that was very hard.â&#x20AC;? Some more insight into the minds of disadvantaged youth likely comes from his 36 years teaching history and French, he said. The Bridlewood resident of 18 years said it took him five years to write â&#x20AC;&#x153;Like father, like son,â&#x20AC;? his second book after â&#x20AC;&#x153;A fortune in fabric.â&#x20AC;? With this second venture as an author, Fortune said he hopes his book garners greater interest than his first, but that, above all, readers get something out of it. This time, the message is that people can turn their circumstances around, no matter how bad their lives have been. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I dedicated (this book) to all children who are foster children and adopted children who have, in spite of the troubled start they may have had, managed to make a good life of it, because some people have,â&#x20AC;? he said. The book is available at Chapters in Kanata, through Amazon, at the Arnprior Public Library and the Ottawa Public Library.

Nordstrom planning to hire 400 for Rideau Centre store Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - The Rideau Centre’s newest retailer is looking to hire 400 employees before the start of the new year. Nordstrom announced it will be posting positions for its new Rideau Centre store starting Nov. 20. “We’re looking for goal-oriented people who love fashion and want to deliver an exceptional shopping experience to every customer who visits our store – they don’t necessarily need retail experience,” said John Banks, store manager for Nordstrom Rideau Centre. “Nordstrom is a great place to build a career. With this being only our second store in Canada, it’s a great time to get in on the ground floor with our company as we begin our growth across the nation.” The company is looking to fill sales positions in all areas of op-

erations, including women’s, men’s, and children’s apparel, shoes, accessories, cosmetics, designer, as well as various support positions in alterations, building services, and loss prevention. Additional positions are also available in the store’s restaurant and coffee bar. In October, the store hired 28 department managers and recently brought the sales managers to Seattle and the support managers to Calgary for an eight-week training program. According to Nordstrom, once salespeople have been hired, they will also participate in a training program in Ottawa focused on product knowledge, selling skills, and how to offer Nordstrom customers a great shopping experience. Interviews will begin after Nov. 20, with hiring to take place starting in January 2015. Those interested can apply at careers.nordstrom.com. The store will open on March 6.

Cracking-Up the Capital adds more laughs Comedy festival for mental health announces 2015 lineup Arts - Cracking-Up the Capital is back for another winter filled with exciting twists and turns. This year’s festival will take place from Feb. 3 to 7, and marks the 11th year of supporting local mental health initiatives. The fest has come a long way since its humble beginnings at Centrepointe Theatre. In fact, CUTC has raised over $150,000 and supported endless awareness efforts with the ultimate goal of de-stigmatizing mental illness in Ottawa.

Got Events?

Over the past year, the event has broadened its reach, working alongside national organization Partners for Mental Health. “We are pleased to be partnering with Cracking Up the Capital as part of this winter’s events by bringing attention to mental health issues and getting people involve,” says Jeff Moat, president, Partners for Mental Health. “Together we will change the way people talk about and support mental health and people living with mental illnesses.” The festival solidified its efforts after receiving a Celebrate Ontario grant. As a result, the event has been opened to the francophone market. As always, CUTC is a proud supporter of Canadian comedy. This year, the crew at This Hour Has 22 Minutes will celebrate their 22nd season. For the first time ever, a live taping of the Canadian comedy institution will take place outside their Halifax home, and where better to celebrate than their favourite punching bag: Parliament Hill. This Hour will open up its audience to MPs, senators, and party leaders and let them in on the joke. The festival will also make use of a larger facility for the finale. The Arena at TD Place is Ottawa’s newest live performance venue. “Cracking up the Capital is Ottawa’s top comedy festival and we’re delighted the organizers have chosen TD Place as its new home,” said TD Place vice-president Mike Cerha. “It’s a privilege to be associated with an event that provides terrific entertainment while, at the same time, helping those with mental health issues understand that it’s OK to ask for help.”  Ticket prices start at only $22.

Birdie ball a hole in one for St. Francis Xavier students Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Sports - As a high school teacher, Dean Prigent is all too familiar with the sight of skeptical expressions on the faces of his Grade 9 physical education students. These are typically earned when the St. Francis Xavier Catholic High School teacher and phys-ed department head announces they’re about to try a new sport, or a new twist on a traditional sport. Such was the case when Prigent recently introduced his students to Birdie ball, which allows participants to practice striking a modified golf ball. While some had never before tried the sport, a number of other boys in Prigent’s classes know their way around a golf course. “You give this system to a golfer (and) at first they look at it with a raised eyebrow, a Spockian eyebrow,” he said. “‘I don’t know if this looks

legit. It looks plastic. It looks like a toy,’” he said of some students’ initial reactions. “And then they start to hit (the ball) and they kind of fall in love with it because they can see the benefit.” Using real golf clubs, Birdie ball golfers hit specially designed hollow PVC balls off of PVC mats placed on the ground. The goal is to drive the ball into a collapsible basket that can be placed at any distance according to the player’s skill level. Always on the lookout for new products that can entice his students to become more physically active, Prigent discovered Birdie ball two years ago. In June, he successfully applied for grant from the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations Try Day program, and was awarded $700 to purchase 30 Birdie ball mats and more than 400 balls in September. It marks the second time

Erin McCracken/Metroland

Teacher and physical education department head Dean Prigent has had his eye on introducing birdie ball to his students at St. Francis Xavier Catholic High School in Riverside South for a couple of years. the school has been granted Try Day funding. The first was for the purchase of Pickle Ball equipment. The objective of the program is to help schools introduce a new sport or physical activity.

Birdie ball is already living up to Prigent’s expectations and the sport is receiving positive reviews from students. “I thought it was going to be interesting to try something new,” said Grade 9 student Malcolm Wyllie, 14, a River-

side South resident who has golfed two summers. Birdie ball initially felt funny, “but then when I got the hang of it, it was fun,” he said, adding the portable sets make it easy to golf without having to travel to a course. Grade 9 student Edward Benhim, 14, had never swung a golf club before trying Birdie ball. “Mr. Prigent likes to change sports a lot and make them into different games, to make it a little bit more fun,” said the Hunt Club resident. “Sometimes a sport, with all the rules, it can be a little boring, but this way you can create your own rules and just have fun yourself and that way it’s fun for everyone.” Initially skeptical, Benhim thought golf would be boring. But Birdie ball, he said, changed his mind. “When I actually hit (the ball) for the first time, it was pretty fun.” In addition to boosting self

esteem through feeling a sense of accomplishment, the benefits of the sport include being outdoors, providing a physical outlet and giving kids access to a sport who may not be able to afford a day on the links, Prigent said. “You wouldn’t necessarily do it for exercise, but you’re doing it to get as close to the game of golf without playing (18 holes of) golf,” he said. “And for someone who doesn’t have $40 to pay for a round of golf, doesn’t have three friends to go to a golf course – you come to a physed class, you’re introduced to this. “Some kids have told me that they’re going to buy it.” With every swing of the golf club, Prigent is hopeful his students will get hooked on what he calls a lifetime sport. “It’s great when you do a unit like golf, the kid who doesn’t groove on basketball or floor hockey or the traditional team sports – you put Birdie ball or golf in front of them and the kid becomes a star,” he said.

The average woman applies more than 500 chemicals to her body every day.

Every day millions of women slap on body moisturizer, apply lipstick or mascara without a second thought about what they are putting on their skin. A study from the UK claims that the average woman applies more than 500 chemicals to her body every day during her beauty routine.

Why should you be concerned?

Chemicals such as parabens (a synthetic preservative in everything from toothpaste to shampoo) and phthalates (a class of chemicals that are found in many “fragranced” beauty products such as lotions, perfumes and deodorants) are classified as xenoestrogens. Xenoestrogens mimic our natural estrogens creating hormone chaos by increasing the total amount of estrogen, resulting in a condition called estrogen dominance. Estrogen dominance has been implicated in many conditions including: breast and prostate cancer, obesity, infertility, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, early onset puberty, hormonal acne and PMS.

Xeno-Detox Every Day

EstroSense is a comprehensive liver detoxifier that gently supports the elimination of harmful environmental toxins and helps to bring back hormone synergy. Along with other key ingredients, EstroSense contains milk thistle which is one of the most researched herbs when it comes to liver detoxification and liver cell regeneration. Curcumin, indole-3-carbinol, sulforaphane, calcium-d-glucarate, green tea extract, lycopene and rosemary extract are all very effective for supporting healthy hormone balance. So starting now, read labels and stay informed, check out The Environmental Working Group website www.ewg.org as well as Campaign for Safe Cosmetics www.safecosmetics.org for more information about how you can protect yourself.

Sports - Princess Anne, an Olympic equestrian and horse-lover, paid a special visit to Wesley Clover Park

Notice of Completion Manotick Watermain Link Class Environmental Assessment Report Available for Review The City of Ottawa has completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study for the construction of a new watermain to the Village of Manotick. The Manotick Watermain Link will provide needed redundancy and reliability to the Manotick community, the potential for current residents on private wells to have access to the central water supply and will also provide additional capacity to service new planned developments. The Class EA determined the preferred solution is to construct a new watermain from Summerhill Street in the Riverside South Community and extend south on River Road where it will cross the Rideau River at the north end of Walter Upton-Collins Park to the south end of David Bartlett Park. The route will continue south along Bravar Drive, Long Island Road and Van Vliet Road to a second crossing of the Rideau River channel and connect to Antochi Lane. The route will continue west on Antochi Lane and connect to an existing watermain on Manotick Main Street. The study was undertaken in accordance with the requirements for Schedule B projects under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2000), as amended 2007 & 2011.

She said she’d remember meeting Princess Anne for “a long time… 30 to 50 years.” Following the visit with the therapeutic riders, the Princess helped unveil a plaque that dedicated a riding ring in her name. “I would like to welcome you here to the National Capital Greenbelt, a treasured space,” said Mark Kristmanson, the NCC’s chief executive officer. “Dedicating this riding ring will inspire future generations of equestrians to pursue their dreams,” Kristmanson said. “And this dedication is all the more meaningful given Your

Microchips: Helping return pets to owners when the unthinkable happens

If your pet goes missing this fall, what are the chances it will find its way home? The Ottawa Humane Society is urging animal owners to take precautions by ensuring that if their dog or cat becomes lost, it has the best possible chance of a safe return with a microchip. Every month, hundreds of stray animals are brought to the OHS. Sadly, many have no identification, which makes it difficult for shelter staff to find

path I have and play at a Div. 1, 2 or 3 program.” American college programs are tiered, with division one being the top program and often the bestfunded. Jake said it’s more common for Ottawa lacrosse players to be recruited by American programs as the sport grows. He was recruited after Grade 10 while playing still with the Capitals, and travelled to prep school to better prepare him for the American university level. “Kids from all over Ottawa are starting to take lacrosse a lot more seriously and are starting to reach out to schools,” he said. “A lot of top high school players you’ll see playing with the Ottawa Capitals or you’ll see them going to American or Canadian prep schools.” Jay said Ottawa players with the Capitals are encouraged to explore opportunities because athletic scholarships are available in the United States, unlike Canada, and often have excellent alumni networks.

their owners. A microchip provides a permanent, non-removable means of pet identification that will not fade or be lost over time. The microchip, about the size of a grain of rice, is implanted under the skin and is virtually painless. Each microchip has a unique ID number that can be scanned and read at shelters and vet clinics. Important information about you and your pet is entered into a national database and can be used to contact you if your lost

pet has been found. The OHS holds microchip clinics every month for which you can register by calling 613725-3166 ext. 221 or e-mail microchip@ottawahumane.ca. Microchipping your pet at the OHS costs $50 and $25 for each additional pet, a small price to pay for a lifetime of security. All proceeds benefit the animals at the OHS.

Jake Fox is shown during his days with the Ottawa Capitals, his original competitive team. He started playing with the Gloucester Minor Lacrosse Association, and now plays for a private high school in Toronto. He committed to play for a top American university’s lacrosse team – Johns Hopkins University – on Nov. 12.

Sports - Jake Fox moved away from his family in Orléans as a teenager to pursue his lacrosse dream, studying for a year at an American prep school before spending two years at a Toronto academy. It’s all about to pay off for the fifth-year high school student, as he signed his letter of intent – a contract committing him to a specific team – to play Division 1 lacrosse for Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore in September 2015. While he officially committed on Nov. 12, he verbally committed to the school over two years ago. “I considered multiple schools.

It’s not behind basketball or football; lacrosse is first.” He said the strong academic programs also factored into his choice, and he may study business. He

studied at Louis Riel and St. Matthew high schools before his current school, the Hill Academy, in Vaughan, Ont. Fox started playing lacrosse when he was nine in Ottawa, after his father looked for a sport that would accommodate both Fox and his younger brother, only four years old at the time. When he moved to a more competitive level, the closest team was hours away. “The closest club travel team was based out of Toronto, and we were kind of crazy so we drove 10 hours roundtrip,” said Jay Fox, Jake’s dad. “But I realized there was a lot of talent in Ottawa (with parents) that probably weren’t as crazy as me.” Jay founded the Ottawa Capitals Lacrosse Club shortly after that with professional lacrosse player Callum Crawford, and his son began to play there. “I was truly developed through the Ottawa programs and Gloucester minor lacrosse,” Jake said. “I coach back there whenever I can. I want kids to be able to follow the
