News – Barry Davis’s greatest treasures were on display at John Young Elementary School on Nov. 12.

The 84-year-old Ottawa man sent a photo album containing pictures of his wife, four children and eight grandchildren.

One photograph shows Davis, surrounded by his family, accompanied by the words: “Barry Davis’ family (wouldn’t exist if he was killed).”

Davis, one of the few remaining survivors of the Holocaust, shared his story with grades 5 and 6 students in the school library this week.

The Riverside man was unable tell his story in person due to his illness, but he sent a speech, which was delivered by his granddaughter, Lisa Levitan, who is a teacher at John Young.

Davis, who immigrated to Ottawa in 1952, kept his wartime experiences to himself for decades, refusing to talk about it with his wife or children.

In 1981, he was approached

by Levitan, then a grade school student at an Ottawa school, who had been asked by her teacher to write a story about a heroic figure.

Naturally, she chose her

grandfather.

“I just picked my grandfather for fun,” said Levitan. “He sat me down and told me everything about the Holocaust.

“He still has difficulty speaking to his wife and children, but to his grandchildren he makes sure to have detailed information,” she said. “He wants to make sure someone is passing it on.”

SURVIVAL

West Carleton Review Glen Cairn students look to help build a school in Kenya.

Davis was born in the small city of Munkach, in the former country of Czechoslovakia, the youngest in a family of four boys and five girls.

“I was raised in a warm caring protective family, until it was all shattered by deportations to a variety of concentration camps and gas chambers,” he writes. “I have tried to avoid talking about the painful memories of the past. The Holocaust is not the kind of experience you put behind you.

“For most survivors, there’s no making peace with the memories of life in the concentration camps, where millions were humiliated, tortured and forced to witness unspeakable brutalities,” he said.

Bridlewood hosts annual Kanata gymathon KRSGC

Sports – The Kanata Rhythmic Sportive Gymnastics Club hosted its annual Gymathon at the Bridlewood Elementary School on Nov. 2 and 3.

Gymnasts from the ages of four to 16 and from various levels of training came together to enjoy an afternoon of friendship, fitness and, most of all, fun, all while raising money for much needed equipment for the club.

!

Throughout the two afternoons, the gymnasts were led by enthusiastic coaches in various exercises requiring flexibility, balance and coordination, all using the essential apparatuses for the sport of rhythmic gymnastics: the ball, hoop, rope and ribbon.

The gymnastics club is a local non-profit, volunteer rhythmic gymnastics club which offers recreational classes throughout the Kanata and the Stittsville area.

The sport of rhythmic gymnastics combines the grace of ballet and dance with gymnastics movements requiring flexibility, concentration and co-ordination.

Founded in 1975 by head coach Dasa Lelli, it offers programming in two developmental streams, recreational and advanced training.

A new winter session will begin in the new year with several recreational class options.

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 Western 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 effects. 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.”

According to Statistics Canada and Health Canada: • Up to 360,000 children are exposed to domestic violence every year across the country • 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 children to in-

dentify 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.

“For us, it’s all about the safety of the family,” she said. “Once a woman starts to speak her truth and say what’s happening, (the abuser’s) control and power starts to disintegrate.”

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. The program offers peer support, individual and group counselling services, transitional housing, referrals and resources – as well as running Chrysalis House, a secure 25-bed shelter in the city for women and children fleeing abusive homes.

by Free the Children last year, they wanted to take action. They raised funds to build a well in Africa after the event, and this year set their sights on a bigger goal.

“We wanted to continue, we wanted to create a yearly charity,” said Sara Mizannojehdehi, the Grade 8 student behind the school’s involvement in the Brick by Brick campaign. “Education is one of the biggest needs (in Kenya) and we wanted a big goal.”

“After we went to We Day, we had a moment of ‘ah,’” said Taylor Graham, a Grade 8 student. “We all take (education) for granted. Some people don’t have what we have.”

A group of almost 40 students collaborated to create events and initiatives to raise the $8,500 it costs to build a school. One of the fundraisers is selling greeting cards designed by

funds for the school’s Brick by Brick campaign.

“We have 30-40 kids who all want to do something,” said Robertson. “It makes me confident the next generation is going to be OK.” “We can do better when we all work together and this initiative is an excellent example of this,” said principal Shannon Smith. One student encouraged others to participate in the Brick by Brick campaign and then those students embraced the artwork of their peers and together they are all making a difference in the lives of children in Kenya.

The cards are being sold until Nov. 18, and people interested in purchasing some are asked to contact the school’s office at 613-836-2342.

The students are hosting other fundraising initiatives, such as hot chocolate and lemonade sales, a school dance, candy grams, a cake walk and an upcoming flea market closer to the holidays. So far, around $1,000 has been raised.

“It’s impressive,” said Robertson.

“It has a momentum of its own. It’s pretty remarkable.”

Sara added that if they don’t reach their goal this year, she’s confident other students will pick up the cause in the fall.

“It’s become really big,” she said.

“If we don’t finish it this year, others will.”

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

613-723-5970 Published weekly by:

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, you ain’t seen nothing yet

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. He was shining. In fact, as one pundit pointed out, “even his hair was shining.”

The speech was perfectly crafted to please party supporters – Harper slammed

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse 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 servants don’t make wages as high as their private sector counterparts – think scientists, psycholo-

gists and managers – 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 – single parents, for example – 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 four car payments.

Don’t take this the wrong

way, folks, but maybe we’d be better off leaving more money in the government coffers.

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 For one thing, most of us are in debt up to our eyeballs (probably for those car payments we can’t actually afford).

to be ever fewer workers to support all those people on pensions for the next several decades.

Despite what Harper says, I’m not sure another car is what we need right now.

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.

LETTER

Biking association looks to honour cyclist To the editor:

On Oct. 17, a friend of ours, Mario Théoret, was killed near at the intersection of Merivale and Hunt Club roads while riding his bicycle to work. I do not want to reiterate what has been said about Mario in past news articles; they already talked about how kind, considerate, passionate, etc. Mario was.

And he was all that and more. I just said to my husband last night, “It’s been two weeks and I still don’t believe that Mario is gone.”

I don’t know how long it will take for that to sink in. What this letter is about is one thing: Mario was passionate about his biking. He spent many, many, many hours maintaining trails.

One particular area he spent a lot of time doing this is South March Highlands in Kanata. In fact the Ottawa Mountain Biking Association is asking the city to rename one of the trails, M line, Mario Théoret line.

I ask those of you who frequent South March Highlands, either bik-

ing, hiking, skiing or snowshoeing, to stop a moment when your there and think of Mario and all the hours he spent helping maintain those trails for all of us to use.

The biking community in this city is devastated over the death of Mario. He is leaving a huge hole in the biking community.

He is gone, but never forgotten.

We miss you Mario.

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

An Ottawa police officer was off duty when charged with impaired driving in south Kanata on Nov. 2

Off-duty cop charged Jessica Cunha

News - An off-duty Ottawa police constable was charged with drinking and driving in Kanata during the early-morning hours of Nov. 2.

Police responded to a call for a possible drunk driver around 6 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 2. The officers located the vehicle at the corner of Terry Fox Drive and Ha-

zeldean Road and arrested the male driver.

The off-duty constable was charged with operating a motor vehicle with more than the legal limit of 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood, an offence under the Criminal Code, said police in a news release.

“This matter is before the courts and it is important that we respect due process,” said Ottawa police Chief Charles

Community - It’s once more unto the breach for the local Kanata-Hazeldean Lions Club as they put the final touches on their major event of the year - a parade through southern Kanata featuring more than 50 units - floats, bands, mascots, firefighters, elected representatives, church groups and community organizations.

As usual it is expected that hundreds of families will line the route of the Santa Clause Parade on Nov. 16, from Terry Fox Drive along Castlefrank Road to Abbeyhill Drive, ending at the Hazeldean Mall. Brass bands, a jazz group,

Math. Reading. Confidence.

and a calypso steel band, will provide the music.

Cadets, Scouts, Guides and an assortment of funny animals will fill out the procession.

As in years past, cash and food donations to the Kanata Food Cupboard will be collected by parade participants - notably local firefighters.

Santa Claus himself will make an appearance in the parade.

Participants in the parade are asked to show up along Terry Fox Drive near Castlefrank Road at 9 a.m.

The parade will start at 10 a.m. and take about 90 minutes to complete.

Glen Cairn family set to deliver Christmas cheer Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Community - Meggan Larson, a Glen Cairn resident and the mastermind behind the free community clothing bank Threads of Love, is working to gather donations for her family’s annual Christmas project.

For the third year in a row, the Larsons are looking for donations for Christmas hampers to help families in need.

Ottawa Valley Tours

“There’s a lot of work that goes into it so the sooner we get donations the better,” said Larson, who lives in Glen Cairn with her husband Rob and their two children.

The Larsons first stumbled upon the idea to provide hampers after seeing posts online. People were offering holiday dinners or gifts to those who were unable to afford such items. The Larsons jumped on board and provided two dinners and gifts for four families in 2011. The

following year, she said they helped more than 50 families, or around 230 individuals.

“I think it will go a lot smoother this year,” said Larson, adding she’s had a number of gift wrapping volunteers come on board over the past two years.

She added that someone has volunteered the use of their storage locker for all the donations until it comes time to wrap and deliver the goods around Dec. 22.

“We’ll have a major wrapping party at the (Community Life) Church the week before the deliveries,” she said.

The family is looking for donations to help fill the hampers, she said, adding that gifts and items for teenagers and adults are two of the highest priorities.

“People have tons of stuff for the younger kids because they’re so easy to (shop) for,” she said. “We like to put something together for the parents, not that they ever ask for it. They’re certainly not getting themselves anything.”

The Larsons are also looking for families to be referred to their program.

“If anyone knows of someone who’s struggling, there’s an anonymous survey to fill out,” she said.

In an earlier interview, Larson said her family chose this way to give back to the community after a group of Kanata mothers helped her family after she was diagnosed with cancer. Since she and her husband were both self-employed, the fam-

The boost they received during a difficult period helped them pull through – and that’s what they’re hoping to do for other families, she said.

Larson pointed out that the family chose to distribute the gifts and food items themselves because there are too many restrictions when going through an organization.

Every tag says “Love, Jesus” because their faith plays a big role in

the family’s life.

“I just have such a solid relationship with Him,” said Larson. “I wanted Him to get the credit.”

She added people of all faiths have helped organize and distribute the hampers.

“We’re helping all sorts of faiths,” she said. “It’s for whoever’s in need.”

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.

Kanata businesses make the case for rail Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Only a handful of business people attended a north Kanata meeting to make the case for including a light-rail link to Kanata in the city’s transportation plan for the next 20 years.

The city’s draft transportation master plan shows light-rail going to Kanata – eventually, but it’s not in the “affordability” plan the city intends to construct before 2031. While Kanata North would get a bus Transitway extension to Terry Fox Station and a new busway on March Road to Solandt Road, light rail wouldn’t come until sometime after 2048, confirmed Colin Simpson, the city staffer in charge of the master plan.

“It’s pitting the east against the west … It feels inequitable,” said Kanata Lakes Community Association president Matt Muirhead, who intends to run for city council in the next election.

Muirhead was one of about six people who attended a Nov. 7 briefing and consultation on the transportation master plan that was hosted by the local business group, the Kanata North Business Improvement Area.

He and others, including Kanata North Coun.

Marianne Wilkinson, tried to make the case for why Kanata should be considered for a light-rail investment at the same time as Orléans, which would see its bus Transitway replaced with rail by 2023 under the draft plan. “(The plans) clearly show much faster growth in this end, both in homes and jobs, than Orléans,” Wilkinson said.

Kanata will be missing out on the benefits of light rail, which is more reliable and comfort-

able and would attract more riders to use the system, Muirhead said.

“You condemn us to riding buses until the middle of the century,” he said.

With Transitway extensions, bus service would be just as fast – or maybe faster – than light-rail, Simpson said, which prompted some people in attendance to ponder why the city was pursuing light-rail at all.

Simpson pointed out that the west end is set to get the speediest improvement to transit in the near future once the first phase of light rail, the Confederation Line, is completed. A rail link to Bayshore Shopping Centre would likely be built by 2016, making it the only light-rail project to be built before the city would have to update and revise the transportation master plan again.

Rail isn’t the only part of the draft transportation master plan that affects Kanata – sidewalks, cycling facilities and road extensions or expansions are also included. While those portions received less attention during the BIA’s Nov. 7 meeting, they weren’t ignored.

Paul Godwin spoke about the old idea of a ring road and asked why extending Hope Side Road into a bypass had been ruled out.

“We need to stop thinking like a small town and start thinking like a G8 city,” he said.

Simpson responded that city council has shown little appetite to build a ring road, especially since it voted to remove that part of the plan in 1997.

When it comes to Hope Side Road specifically, Wilkinson said the National Capital Commission owns land that would have been needed for the extension and wouldn’t allow it. Instead, the NCC is allowing the city to expand Old Richmond Road.

Lisa Levitan shares the story of her grandfather, a survivor of the Auschwitz concentration camp during the Second World War, with grades 5 and 6 students at John Young Elementary School in Glen Cairn on Nov. 12. Above, Levitan holds a family tree that has the photographs of Davis, his wife, four children and eight grandchildren.

“If I could, I would block out that period of my life completely and go on with my life. But I cannot forget what happened to my family and me and I have come to realize that it is important for me not to forget.

Perhaps remembering and talking about my experiences to others will reduce the likelihood of such terrible events ever happening in the future.”

Levitan told the students how her grandfather’s family was transported on a cattle car to Poland, near Auschwitz in 1944.

“The first thing that hit us when we arrived, was the horrible smell of burning flesh,” her grandfather wrote.

“Flames were shooting sky high from the chimneys of the crematoriums. All that could be heard were the commotions, barking dogs, screaming and crying of young children and their parents who were separated from each other in the darkness of the

night.

“I will never forget that horrifying night,” he said. “That night was the last time I saw my family.” In the camps, the inmates were never called by their names – numbers were tattooed on their arms for identification.

Davis worked as a brick layer in the camp until mid-winter, when the inmates evacuated to Mathausen, one of the largest concentration camps in Austria, because of the advance of the Russian army.

After a short six-week stay, Davis was transported to Ebenzee, known as a death camp for inmates of Mauthausen.

“No one who entered the camp was supposed to survive.”

One day, American soldiers arrived in tanks to liberate the camp. Over the next few months, Davis recovered under the care of an American medical unit.

“I was like many of the prisoners a walking skeleton,” he writes.

Davis later discovered only three of his

11 immediate family members had survived the concentration camps.

“I was robbed of my education, my youth, and my parents, brothers and sisters were murdered,” he said.

“Not to mention the back-breaking work and brutality of the worst kind,” he said.

“Someone once said there may be some doubt about the existence of hell beyond the grave. Well, there is no doubt about it.

I lived it.”

Davis travelled by ship to Israel in 1948 and eventually to Ottawa in 1952.

Over the past half century, he has held several jobs, including running a butcher shop, selling real estate and working in the insurance business.

“Most importantly, I met my wonderful wife Selma,” he said. “She gave me four loving daughters, and I now have eight super grandchildren.”

Megha Rao, a Grade 6 student at John Young Elementary, said it was good to hear the story about an historic event from someone who lived it.

“I learned that there’s hundreds of concentration camps,” she said. “It’s sad to know they set up so many centres just to torture people.”

Thomas Neustabter, Grade 6, said he learned a lot about the Holocaust.

“It made me feel bad because I come from a country where people were forced to become Nazi’s,” said Neustabter, whose parents immigrated to Canada from Romania.

“I was surprised how there was a chance there would be a water in the showers (at the concentration camps) and also a chance there would be gas. So you never really knew if you were going to die,” he said.

“The things that we saw were really horrible. It was really sad.”

SERVING KANATA NORTH

City Councillor, Kanata North RAPID TRANSIT FOR KANATA ADDED TO MASTER PLAN The City’s Transit Commission has approved the proposal I made to staff to change the Master Transportation Plan to include a Transit Way through Kanata. By deferring an underground connection for the Bus Rapid Transit to go north in the median of March Road to instead have buses leave the bus only lanes on the 417 and connect to the median along March Road frees up $30 million.

These funds will be used to extend the Transit Way on March Road from Carling Ave to Solandt (after which it will continue in mixed traffic) and to construct a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) within the corridor that is immediately adjacent to Highway 417. Buses will access this corridor along the former County Road 9 alignment adjacent to the OPP station and proceed to Terry Fox, with a walk to station at the pedestrian overpass. Timing of construction is not yet set but will be after the Confederation Light Rail line (presently under construction) is opened. This start to a transit system through Kanata will help to move the ultimate plan (which shows light rail to the Canadian Tire Centre) forward once funding is available.

This year’s Gift of Art show and sale will take place on Nov. 16 and 17 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days, at the Mlacak Centre, 2500 Campeau Dr.

Giving the gift of art Annual show and sale to feature new flavour, artists Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Arts - Art lovers, the curious and those looking to get a jump start on their holiday gift shopping are going to be pleasantly surprised with this year’s Gift of Art show and sale on Nov. 16 and 17, said Judi Miller, member of the Kanata Civic Art Gallery.

With a host of new artists joining the gallery this year, there will be fresh perspectives on display alongside wellknown local names.

“With the new artists there’s a new flavour,” said Miller. “It’s going to be good. It’s going to

be different.

“It’s our showcase event of the year. It gives an opportunity for the public to see a wider range of each artist’s work.”

Twenty-five artists will display their art in the upper halls of the Mlacak Centre, 2500 Campeau Dr., from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days.

“We have the new and old and everywhere in between,” said Miller. “We have everything from abstract to high realism, watercolour to encaustic.

We have young artists to more mature (artists), the whole gamut really.”

The event offers free admission and no tax on sales, as well as refreshments.

Hospice Care Ottawa will also have a display table and proceeds from a small silent auction will be donated to the organization.

One of the gallery’s artists lives on McCurdy Drive near the future site of a residential hospice. She raised the idea of

partnering with the hospice and everyone jumped on board, said Miller.

“We thought it would be a really good fit,” she said.

The gallery recently hung paintings in various areas of Hospice Care Ottawa’s temporary new wing at the Embassy West Seniors Living.

“It looks really nice,” said Miller, adding the paintings will likely be switched out four times a year. “People were really on board.”

On behalf of all residents in Kanata North I extend my heartfelt thanks to members of the Kanata Legion, for their moving ceremony at the Kanata Cenotaph on Remembrance Day. Veterans also went to local schools to speak to students about how the sacrifices of so many have led to the peace we enjoy in our country, as well as holding special remembrances at the Kanata Seniors Centre and retirement homes. As a member of this Legion, (and a former member of the Canadian Air Force), I was happy to take part in their poppy sales which support both veteran and community services.

Non veterans are welcome to join our Legion and take part in organizing events such as the Remembrance Day Ceremony.

Nutcracker set to hit stage at Centrepointe Local dancers step into spotlight Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Entertainment - Dozens of local ballerinas will step into the spotlight with Ballet Jorgen’s production of The Nutcracker: A Canadian Tradition.

The show opens at Centrepointe Theatre on Dec. 14 at 1 p.m. It will run until Dec. 17 with three shows taking place at the Shenkman Arts Centre.

The Canadian adaptation of the classic Yuletide fairytale uses landscapes of the Group of Seven as backdrops and characters ranges from squirrels to frogs.

Nepean resident Maddison Schmidt will perform the ballet for the second time. She will

play the dragonfly this year.

The 14-year-old has been dancing since she was two years old and said she is excited for the chance to showcase her talent.

Normally she dances with Ottawa Centre Dance Schools, but Maddison said she got to meet new people and learn more about her craft through the experience.

“It’s a lot of fun, everyone is really nice,” she said.

Aside from the two hours of rehearsal time the dancers get as a group, Maddison said she has the music on her iPod. “I practise in front of the mirror,” she said.

For Elmvale Acres resident Brianna Nykilchyk, 10, her role as a frog is just an-

other item to add to her busy schedule of ballet and highland dancing classes.

Her mother, Anne Bertrand said it was the second year Brianna tried out.

“She said she knew she had nailed it this time,” Bertrand said of the audition. “She was over the moon when she was chosen.”

Brianna said she loves ballet and plans to do it professionally when she grows up. She has been dancing with Ottawa Centre Dance Schools since she was five years old.

“It’s a lot of fun,” she said.

Meghan Sangster, a student at Roberta Bondar Public School, will play the squirrel.

She sees the Winnipeg Royal Ballet’s version of The Nutcracker every year.

“I really love the music and it’s such a nice story,” she

This is Meghan’s second time dancing with Ballet Jorgen; she said she danced in their rendition of Swan Lake in April.

“I love being on stage,” she said, adding she is excited for The Nutcracker’s opening night.

Lexi Sorel, 11, a student at Good Shepherd School in Orléans, will be performing as a bear cub.

It’s her first time performing with Ballet Jorgen. Lexi said she has been dancing with the Academy of Dance Arts and loves the smooth lines of ballet.

“It looks so pretty with the arm movements and the pointed toes,” she said.

There are 29 local girls performing in The Nutcracker this year and one boy. Participants range in age from eight to 14.

Bertrand said she’s happy local kids are given a chance to work on their stage presence and technical skills with a real ballet company.

“I know this experience will help her develop her confidence and performance skills,” Bertrand said. For more information on show times, visit www.balletjorgen.ca.

Support group hosts talk by clinical psychologist The Oasis in Kanata

Community - The Oasis in Kanata, a place for caregivers of those with mental illness, continues its fall information series on Nov. 19 with a talk on Care for the Caregiver.

Dr. Gretchen Conrad, educator and clinical psychologist with the On Track program of the Ottawa Hospital will speak about the importance of looking after yourself while caring for your loved one.

Creating balance in life can be as challenging for the caregiver as for the individual living with mental illness. Participants will get practical suggestions on how to care for themselves

while caring for others.

The Oasis in Kanata is a pilot program initiated by the Glen Cairn United Church, to provide information and support for friends and family of persons living with mental illness.

The program brings much needed help to residents of the Kanata, Stittsville/Goulbourn and surrounding areas.

Program manager and Kanata resident Carol McMurdoPaton has long been aware of the limited services available for caregivers in the west-end communities.

“Feedback from participants of our first two sessions has confirmed that people find val-

ue in this community service.

November and December sessions are scheduled, and plans are already underway to offer more information sessions as well as caregiver support groups in 2014” said McMurdo-Paton.

Care for the Caregiver - The Importance of Looking after Yourself will be held on Nov. 19, starting at 7 p.m., at the Glen Cairn United Church, 140 Abbeyhill Dr. in Kanata.

Homemade holiday happiness Diana Meharey, from Bridlewood in Kanata, shows off her handmade holiday crafts at the 22nd-annual Christmas craft fair at St. Mark High School in Manotick on Nov. 9. Hundreds of people visited the school over the weekend for the holiday event.

Thousands of kids drop out of high school every year.

Time to reconsider home insurance

Connected to your community

Lifestyle - A sparkling new ring, the latest smartphone, a new flat-screen TV – after the gift-giving excitement of the holidays is over, you may find your home filled with more goodies than before.

As you clean up the wrapping paper and pack up the decorations, don’t forget to review your home or tenant insurance policy to ensure your new gifts are covered.

Dave Minor, the vice president of TD Insurance, offers his top tips for ensuring your new valuables are protected: * New ring? Insure that bling. The holidays are a popular time to pop the question, but many blissful couples may be unaware that the sparkly new ring may not be covered under their existing home or renter’s insurance policy.

Speak to your insurance pro-

vider to find out how much your household jewellery coverage covers. You may want to consider extended coverage if some new diamonds or even an expensive watch has taken you over this limit. * Update your inventory of belongings. Making a list and taking photos of your valuables can help make it easier if you have to make a claim.

Don’t forget to include se-

rial numbers and the date each item was purchased. * Consider a security upgrade. Did you know that installing extra security measures like security alarms may decrease your insurance premium? Deadbolt locks and automatic timers on your lights can also contribute greatly to protecting your home. Talk to your insurance provider for suggestions on how to save

money while keeping your valuables even more protected. * Understand the terms of your coverage. The terms you agreed to a few years ago may be different than the insurance needs you require today, so ask your insurance provider if you still have adequate coverage.

Illness in retirement can be costly Nicole Chenier-Cullen

Alzheimer Society Volunteer

R0012383229

Community - You may have made plans for retirement for a number of years now, but have you made plans for illness in retirement?

David Engel, a financial security advisor himself, got a rude awakening when his mother suffered a stroke at age 77. His father sold his business and dedicated himself to her care. They felt financially secure with the $700,000 proceeds from the business, in addition to the usual monthly government pension, as well as some veteran’s benefits.

They were wrong.

Managing his mother’s illness required the help of three different caregivers to help with the basic necessities of daily living such as cooking, dressing, and bathing. Over the next 14 years, David, his sister and their spouses devoted countless hours caring for both their parents, something which seriously hurt their individual businesses. In the end, those years of unexpected, unplanned illness ate away all their parents’ retirement income.

“When dad died, he was wiped out” said Engel.

Where did it go?

“People think that medicare covers the cost of everything”, said Engel. “When the reality is far from it. Convalescent homes, respite care, assistive devices, hygienic products, all these things quickly eat into a person’s savings.” Engel points to a client whose knee operation alone cost her over $20,000 in convalescent care. “People don’t realize that the biggest threat to their savings in retirement is not the financial markets, it’s their health.”

If you recognize yourself in this article, you won’t want to miss David Engel’s keynote address at the Legal and Financial Seminar organized by the Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County, which takes place at the Nepean Sportsplex on Nov. 27, from 12:30 to 4 p.m.

Engel will speak about The Cost of Caring: Will it Hurt Your Quality Time Remaining? He will also join a panel of experts who will address how families can best protect themselves against financial ruin, which can occur as a result of illness during retirement.

Jaime Constable, the organizer of the event at the Alzheimer Society, points out that 70 per cent of people with dementia are still living at home, and that 94 per cent of their care is provided by family and friends. The Alzheimer Society is here to guide those families so they can understand and plan for the emotional and financial toll which the disease can have on their lives.”

Melt Method; Relief from Pain and Improved Fitness that’s Gaining Acceptance We, more than any previous generation, all want to be active into our senior years. We have learned through discussions with our doctors and from almost every media source and medical science organization on the planet that a long active life-style is not only possible, but is the best way to avoid disease, injury, and excessive chemical medications. The problem is that many of us shy away from or avoid physical activity when it starts to hurt or when we experience pain from other causes such as disease or nerve inflammation. The old adage; ‘no pain, no gain’ is more than ever something only diehard fitness buffs believe in.

Now in Ottawa, there is a group that has tossed the ‘no pain, no gain’ tenet in the garbage and they are amassing a large and varied number of converts to the Melt Method®.

Almost twenty years ago Sue Hitzmann, MS, CST, NMT, a U.S.nationally recognized fitness expert, and host of ESPN’s Crunch TV was afflicted by severe pain in her foot she thought would end a very promising fitness career. When traditional therapies had no effect she began to research alternatives and discovered the key lay in improving the condition of the body’s fascia or connective tissue (a stretchy

and stringy membrane that connects muscle to bones, and keeps internal organs in place. Basically it’s the scaffolding that holds everything together.

Thus the Melt Method® was born.

The MELT Method® (MELT) is a selftreatment technique using specially designed and manufactured foam balls and rollers that helps prevent pain, heal injury, and erase the negative effects of aging and active living. MELT simulates the hands-on techniques that Sue uses to eliminate stress, pain, and dysfunction in her private clients.

This unique Hands-off Bodywork™ approach is the first treatment that simulates the techniques – and the results – of manual therapy.

The therapy which consists of a series of physical manipulations of various body areas helps to rehydrate the connective tissues by stimulating cell activity. As Sue and thousands of MELT followers have discovered, when the connective tissue is in good working order, most body pain disappears leaving people to get back to a normal healthy life.

Sue Hitzmann’s MELT has grown exponentially. There are now over 800 MELT instructors in the US and 10 here in Canada. Sue has been on Dr. Oz’s popular TV show three times, appeared

Dr. OZ

in any area by dead or dehydrated cells, the traffic jam that results puts everything out of balance.”

Using MELT brings a host of side benefits. Many people experience a reduction in high blood pressure and are able to reduce or eliminate some of the daily meds they take after reviewing their improved condition with their physician. They find they don’t require the services of a massage therapist, chiropractor, or physiotherapist as much if at all. Most importantly it brings a new sense of awareness about their own bodies. It helps them to understand the relationships between exercise, diet, physical and medical conditions, and what we put ourselves through every day. It puts them back in charge of their condition and on the way to living the way they always dreamed about. MELT is a proactive approach to maintaining a healthy, pain-free, active lifestyle is the best solution for living longer…better or as MELT founder Sue Hitzmann puts it, “a little proactive self-care goes a long way toward keeping you pain-free and active for a lifetime.”

once on the Marilyn Dennis Show, and has a book out that has been on the New York Best Sellers List, 5 times this year alone. Veronica Brown has brought MELT to Ottawa and her client list is growing rapidly.

Veronica, like Sue, has found a wide audience eager to learn the MELT techniques and experience pain-free lives.

From young adults to athletes of every level to middle-aged folks and seniors, each group finds the system easy to learn, and more importantly easy to fit into busy lifestyles. MELT only takes as little as 10 minutes a day and can be done anywhere because specialized equipment and facilities aren’t needed. People treat themselves at home, at the office, at school, wherever they happen to be and the only thing they miss in their schedules is pain.

After pain is eliminated, MELT continues to help the connective tissues which lead to fewer sport and exercise related injuries and much greater mobility and balance. Many athletes and gym members report improved speed, strength, and stamina after just a few MELT sessions. As Veronica of Melt Method Ottawa puts it, “Our bodies’ connective tissues act like a free-flowing river with thousands of tributaries and streams. When the flow is blocked

Diefenbunker ceremony well attended derek.dunn@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; It was a characteristically Canadian moment: passionately restrained.

An instrumental version of O Canada slowly permeated the Bank of Canada vault at the bottom of the Diefenbunker Museum on Nov. 11, with about 100 people waiting for the two minutes of silence.

Then suddenly they broke out in whispered song. Tentative and bashful to start, by the time â&#x20AC;&#x153;God keep our land, glorious and freeâ&#x20AC;? was sung the whole room was filled with patriotic voices.

The idea to hold a Remembrance Day ceremony in the fallout shelterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vault â&#x20AC;&#x201C; meant to protect the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gold should nuclear war descend on Ottawa - was that of young Private Rob Barnsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

He spoke a few words about commemorating the sacrifices made and remembering the soldiers that gave their lives.

Others who spoke, Diefenbunker education and volunteer manager Heather Montgomery in particular, focused more on learning from the horrors of war to build a peaceful present and future.

Key to the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mandate is to teach that through diplomacy, war is avoided and ended, and that the tragedies of violent engagement can be avoided when all are reaching for peace.

To illustrate the importance of protecting future generations from war, Diefenbunker executive director Henriette Riegel took interpretation manager Christine McGuire and her two-year-old daughter Leah to help lay a wreath.

Rev. Monique Stone of Saint James Anglican Parish also spoke about the need for peace in all regions, including the Middle East and Africa.

She quoted from a Gospel where Jesus said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m giving you these

commands so that you will love one another.â&#x20AC;?

She said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We remember those who have died in service,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;We pray with all our hearts for peace in our timeâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;for the sake of informing our future.â&#x20AC;?

Eli El-Chantiry laid a wreath on behalf of the City of Ottawa.

The West Carleton March councillor, who grew up in war torn Lebanon, said peace often follows war. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t achieve peace without war,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look at the war in Lebanon.

Look at Afghanistan where we went as peacekeepers and a 158 Canadians lost their lives for peace.â&#x20AC;?

After the ceremony when most of the room was cleared, little Sienna lingered with her mom to admire the pretty wreaths and play with the colourful paper doves at the centre of the room.

Dressed in a cute little pretend uniform, with angel hair curls spilling out, she asked her mom matterof-factly a series of profound questions. War, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that?

Somebody died: why?

Will the soldiers who died come back again? And on it went. Her mother answered each question in specific yet simple detail.

The familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s patriarch is a soldier.

OUTDOOR NEXT YEAR

Allan Joyner was on hand to lay a Huntley Community Association wreath, one of just three presented on Monday. He stood patiently behind a massive concrete pillar until his name was called.

While waiting, he spoke of last year being the first Remembrance Day ceremony in Carp in many years and that how next year the hope is a new war memorial in the village triangle will be host its first ceremony. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an important tradition to establish in the community,â&#x20AC;?

Joyner said.

Moffatt tackling ditch filling Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - The latest frontier for fixing up post-amalgamation policies? Ditches.

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun.

Scott Moffatt wants to tackle ways homeowners â&#x20AC;&#x201C; mostly in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rural areas â&#x20AC;&#x201C; could legally infill roadside ditches in front of their properties.

But heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not talking about letting people take a load of dirt and dump it into the ditch, Moffatt said.

In the old days, before amalgamation, homeowners in some former municipalities were allowed to infill the deep trenches in front of their homes in a way that still allowed rainwater to drain from the roadway but made it easier to cut grass going down into the ditch and gener-

ally make it more attractive.

The infilled ditches were inspected to ensure they would still fulfill their function and prevent flooding.

Now thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not allowed, even though some homeowners are doing it anyways.

Some of the folks who want to fill their ditches in are seniors, who say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s becoming dangerous for them to cut the grass in their ditches, Moffatt said.

Some of these people are spending around $5,000 to have their ditch redesigned and filled, only to have neighbours call bylaw services. Officers come and have them tear the ditch infill out, Moffatt said.

Moffatt is convinced the altered road ditches donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cause â&#x20AC;&#x153;actual problems,â&#x20AC;? even though the reason the city banned the practice was the risk of flood-

ing and liability issues if every homeowner on the street did the same thing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We allowed these for years and years with no problems,â&#x20AC;? he said.

While stormwater management and drainage can be a touchy topic, Moffatt emphasized that there a â&#x20AC;&#x153;different kinds of drainage.â&#x20AC;?

Roadside ditches handle a pretty minor amount of water runoff, Moffatt said. The more serious issues with potential flooding mostly relate to other drainage areas, such as rear yards.

The councillor is waiting for a response form city staff on what â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if anything â&#x20AC;&#x201C; can be done about this issue. Moffatt wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know until then if any action would have to be taken or new laws or policies drafted.

City to allow widened suburban driveways 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 cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current rules limit the width of driveways to in front of the garage only â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not the main home â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the laneway canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;pathwayâ&#x20AC;? 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 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; more than almost any other neighbourhood issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the Nepean days, you never got any complaints about it,â&#x20AC;? said. Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder.

Now her office gets calls about situations where a new homeowner moves in and tries to widen their â&#x20AC;&#x153;pathwayâ&#x20AC;? driveway to match the neighbours who did it before amalgamation. It sparks bylaw battles,

Harder said, with neighbours constantly calling 311 on each other. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are people who were buying nice homes and doing nice things to make their properties fit into their lifestyles,â&#x20AC;? said Harder, who did the exact same thing to one of her previous homes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then you get into this really crappy shouting match.â&#x20AC;?

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 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; using a widened walkway â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 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 cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also an esthetic issue, Moerman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the suburbs, the practical reality is that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re probably going to have two cars,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While we are certainly encouraging people to use transitâ&#x20AC;Ś realistically there is a context that applies to different parts of town.â&#x20AC;?

Harder was pleased the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planners took that approach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a recognition of our lifestyle,â&#x20AC;? she said.

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 postsecondary institutions and begin their careers.

Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ward is feeling similar pressures and he said the new rule would take some parked cars off Stittsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s local streets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m buoyed that city staff is working with the community to find a solution,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At least weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get some uniformity.â&#x20AC;?

In Stittsville, there are problems with people calling bylaw services if a neighbourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;concrete jungleâ&#x20AC;? with much less space left for visitors to park along the street.

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.

News - Fifteen homeowners on Vista Park Drive are having success trumping the city’s traffic-speed rules.

City staff originally told the residents their street wasn’t eligible to be petitioned to have the speed limit reduced from 50 kilometres per hour to 40 km/h because it’s classified as a collector street.

Requests can only be made for local residential streets.

So instead, Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais brought it forward as a councillor’s item, which the transportation committee supported on Nov. 6.

In comments listed on the report, Blais said he “highly recommends” a speed reduction on the

street because the residents’ petition was unanimous and the street runs past a new city park.

“Given the high volume of children in the area, as well as the increase in traffic that will come when the soccer field begins booking next year, a reduction in speed is warranted,” Blais wrote.

Even though the city’s speed data shows the average speed on Vista Park Drive is 54 km/h – a very high compliance, in the 85th percentile of the limit – city staff will be putting up 40 km/h signs once council gives its final approval for the change.

Because of that, the city’s public works staff doesn’t expect actual travelling speeds on the road to be significantly reduced.

Changing the signs will cost $500, according to a city report.

Will Someone Fight For Me? “I was placed in foster care a few years ago – my mom could not properly take care of me. Since being in care, I have moved from foster home to foster home. I push everyone away. I scream a lot and say horrible things. I throw stuff and make even the nicest times miserable for everyone. You see, I was once close with my biological parents and where has that gotten me? I don’t want to be hurt again, so I trust no one. I know what I do isn’t right, but I’m angry”.

The Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa (CASO) is looking for a family ready to make a lifetime of difference.

This talented little girl, identified as Emma, loves to sign and compose music. She is a straight A student who receives nothing but positive feedback from her teachers.

What Emma needs more than anything is for someone to stand by her. She needs someone who is ready for a challenge and who understands that she doesn’t need to be “fixed”, but rather, needs to be loved. She will act out and she will most likely push you away. You see, Emma is only 12 and she has yet to have someone committed to her. She has yet to experience forgiveness and trust. She has yet to have someone stand by her and support her, no matter.

Are you someone ready to fight for Emma? More importantly, are you ready to fight with her? If you or someone you know may be interested in adopting Emma, please contact Anik Whyte at 613-747-7800 ext 2226 or email anik.whyte@casott. on.ca.

Make a difference in the life of this child!

News – With a whopping nine people in attendance, the West Carleton budget consultation meeting last Wednesday evening had the distinction of drawing the biggest crowd of any similar event elsewhere in the city.

“I’m happy to report this is probably the largest turnout of any budget consultation,” said West CarletonMarch Coun. Eli El-Chantiry. “Not having as many people here is a sign people are happy with the budget.”

Joining El-Chantiry for the meeting was deputy city treasurer Ken Hughes, who has attended the West Carleton budget consultation for many years. This, however, was to be his last one having been appointed the city’s auditor general last month.

“This has always been the best budget session in the city,” Hughes explained.

The proposed 2014 Ottawa budget calls for a 1.9 per cent tax increase,

which means an increase of $55 on a rural tax bill and an increase of $63 for an urban resident. That amount is based on an average assessment of $350,000.

Hughes said the tax increase for rural residents is $49 over last year’s budget, adding council made it clear to staff they wanted to keep the tax increase under two per cent.

“This is the lowest tax increase put forward since 2008,” Hughes said.

Highlights of the budget see garbage fees held at $82 with recreation fees continuing to be frozen. Budgets for the mayor and councillors’ office also remain frozen for the coming year.

The budget also sees the equivalent of 55 full-time job eliminated without layoffs.

“In 2014, to operate the city with exactly the same level and at exactly the same level of service is about $40 million,” Hughes said.

Roads and transportation

When it came questions from those in attendance at the meeting, transportation and roads topped the list.

Resident Margaret Dunn wanted to clarity that West Carleton residents in Transit Zone B when it comes to transit taxation.

“Yes,” Hughes replied. “In Transit

Deputy city treasurer Ken Hughes Zone B you are only paying $52 a year for Para Transpo.”

West Carleton residents do not pay for OC Transpo service on their tax bill.

“One of the biggest challenges when we amalgamated was getting the city to keep us (West Carleton) away from the transit levy,” said ElChantiry. “So far, thank the good Lord we are still out of the transit levy.”

He echoed Hughes’ comments about West Carleton residents paying $52 for Para Transpo and a small portion of the Eagleson Road park and ride in Kanata.

El-Chantiry noted local residents

Road in 2014 includes ditches and culverts.

“If you want to have a good road, you have to have good drainage and ditches,” El-Chantiry.

As part of the 2014 budget, $45 million will be invested city-wide on road resurfacing projects including work on Carp Road, Beverly Street, Panmure Road, Diamondview Road, MacLarens Side Road, Palomino Drive and Duhnaven Drive.

Eastman also raised question about the value of agricultural land and the fact the price has been “skyrocketing.”

Hughes noted it was not just an Ottawa issue but an issue in areas like southern Ontario. He said the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) looks at sales former farmer to farmer and not from a farmer to a development with developing assessment values of farmland.

“There has been a 26 per cent increase in value (of properties) from 2008 to 2012,” Hughes noted. “In farms, that (increase) is closer to 40 per cent.”

“That does not translate to taxes going up 40 per cent?” Eastman asked.

“No,” Hughes replied.

He urged anyone with concerns about the value of the farmland and its assessment to contact MPAC.

also pay less for fire service than residents in the urban area because West Carleton is served by volunteer firefighters.

Former West Carleton mayor and Ward 5 councillor Dwight Eastman raised the subject of roads.

“My biggest concern on the capital aspect is the condition of our roads,” he said. “We have shocks in our trucks and cars but farm equipment can be damaged.

“Kinburn Side Road, it shakes the hell out of you. It is damaging farm equipment. Kinburn Side Road is in God awful condition.”

Eastman’s comments drew nods from everyone in attendance.

“Instead of 1.9 per cent (tax increase), I’d be willing to pay a little more to get our roads updated,” Eastman said.

El-Chantiry said that so far during this term of council, $345 million has been allocated for roadwork, bridges and culverts and of that amount, West Carleton got $2 million.

In 2013, Galetta Side Road was upgraded.

“This year there was $11.5 million for roads, bridges and ditches and Galetta Side Road was done. Kinburn is a big ticket item. It is on the books for 2015 – from Woodkilton to old Highway 17.”

El-Chantiry said the work scheduled to be done on Kinburn Side

Queensway Carleton to expand acute care for elderly patients 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.

“The statistics are shocking,” he said.

The unit focused on geriatric care has received the seal of approval from Dr. Samir Sinha, a Toronto geriatric doctor who heads up Mount Sinai – the only hospital in the province with a senior-centred acute care unit.

Gray said the new unit at the QCH will focus on patient release as soon as they are admitted.

Physiotherapists, both for mobility and speech, will work with patients and nursing staff will connect with the community care access centre to put resources in place so patients can head home sooner.

“We want the support to be there so they don’t return to hospital,” Schonberg said.

Aside from collaborative staff teams, there will be a dining room to encourage socialization.

The unit is modeled on recommendations from the Living Longer, Living Well report commissioned by the Ministry of Health and LongTerm Care.

Schonberg said it’s important for the hospital to look at

“5,000 years of Chinese music and dance, in one night.”

one of the highest concentration of seniors.”

The project is considered “minor” with a price tag coming in at less than $10 million.

Schonberg said the care won’t duplicate the work of Bruyère Continuing Care, which treats chronic conditions – but does not provide acute care.

“Aside from offering a service for seniors, we are hoping to partner with the University of Ottawa to use the unit as a teaching tool,” he said.

Schonberg said he hopes to get approval from the ministry of health in the next six months and be able to open the centre in two years.

Winter tires aren’t enough

Connected to your community

Lifestyle - Scraping snow and ice off your car each morning, driving in the dark, and sitting in traffic – it’s no surprise that so many Canadians dread driving in the winter.

While snow tires can help to increase traction, they are only one weapon in your driving arsenal against Old Man Winter.

Dave Minor, a vice president with TD Insurance, provides his list of necessary tools to have on hand while

driving in the snow this winter: Windshield washer fluid and winter wiper blades – On a snowy or slushy day, it’s easy to use up a few litres of fluid trying to keep your windshield clear and visibility high.

Keep some extra fluid in the car in case you run out while on the road.

Good wiper blades prevent snow and ice from building up and affecting their performance.

• Fuel up – It’s never a good idea

to let your gas or diesel run low. Not only could you be left stranded, but it can also do serious harm to your car. A full tank of gas will minimize condensation, and prevent the gas line from freezing.

• Emergency kit – You never know what Mother Nature may throw your way, so it’s important to be prepared.

Have an emergency kit in your vehicle, including a snow shovel and brush, booster cables, candle and

matches, blanket and cat litter (for traction), just in case.

• Insurance – Speak to your insurance provider to be sure you have the proper coverage, and ask if your provider offers road side assistance.

Snow on the roads means you should expect the unexpected, so make sure there are no surprises if you have to make a claim.

A S.T.E.P. in the right direction Youth substance abuse project receives Evaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Award Steph Willems Steph.willems@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 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 Evaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Award for Ending Youth Homelessness â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a prestigious honour from youth homelessness organization Evaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all here today to celebrate success â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the success of the youth who, with the help of many different or-

ganizations, have turned their lives around or are in the process of doing so,â&#x20AC;? 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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For some youth, regular mainstream high schools are not places where they can thrive or even survive,â&#x20AC;? said White. â&#x20AC;&#x153;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, Wabanoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Working Hope program provides counselling and support to youth â&#x20AC;Ś at the Odawa (Native) Friendship Centre.â&#x20AC;?

A report crafted by project s.t.e.p.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Breaking the Cycle, Building Hopeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, the report showed that of the youth enrolled in program, 70 percent had reduced or stopped their drug use.

City boosts rural community fund, cuts building fee grant Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - The city is giving a $50,000 boost to the popular Rural Community-Building Grant Program.

The annual budget for the program, which is available to non-profit groups for activities that benefit the broader community, will jump from $60,000 to $110,000 based on strong demand, according to a city staff report.

To offset that increase, the city is axing a rarely-used program to waive building fees for farmers and reducing the budget for another rural grant program. The total amount of money the city gives out for rural grant programs wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

Those changes would better reflect the demands of rural non-profit groups and enable more rural organizations to take advantage of funding, the report says.

farm to comply with the Nutrient Management Act â&#x20AC;&#x201C; most often for concrete manure storage tanks.

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

“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 common-sense solution to a clear need in my community and many other communities across Ontario,” Bailey said.

ASH gets more than 1,000 signatures for residence petition Board presents concerns to university 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, vice-president 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 As-

Sandy Hill residents show off more than 1,000 signatures on a petition asking the University of Ottawa to build oncampus residences only. sets, 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 association, the university has grown by more than 15,000 full-time students in the past decade and in that time has added fewer than 300 residence beds.

“We want to get the message across that the community feels huge concern about what’s happening and we will step in to stop it,” Forbes said.

Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury chairs the town and gown committee 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 iden-

tify 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.”

OrlĂŠans could become global hub for cybersecurity State of the art research to take place in former Cumberland city hall brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - A new non-profit corporation has opened in OrlĂŠans, aiming to become the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most innovative cybersecurity organization. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the major problem Canadians have is weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been trading privacy for security,â&#x20AC;? 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 Venusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 sectors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I walked in with a crazy idea,â&#x20AC;? Bailetti said of making his model work right in Ottawa.

EAST END HOME

The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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-OrlĂŠans MP Royal Galipeau.

OrlĂŠansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; business community has had many discussions over the past year about creating a niche industry in the

With CSEC and Venus, cybersecurity could be the niche theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been looking for. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This announcement will bring new and needed employment to our community,â&#x20AC;? said OrlĂŠans Coun. Bob Monette.

Some work is already being carried out by 11 employees, 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 OrlĂŠans.

The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contribution includes 15 months of free rent and the retrofit bill. The 255 Centrum Blvd. building is also home to several councillors and Galipeauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This sector is expected to grow exponentially in the next

years,â&#x20AC;? said Galipeau, who joked that employees should have to make a commitment to live in OrlĂŠans.

Bailetti said he was drawn to OrlĂŠans 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 OrlĂŠans soon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;OrlĂŠans has a lot going for it,â&#x20AC;? Bailetti said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It looks like a mini Palo Alto.â&#x20AC;?

Bailetti said Venus will be focused on innovation and research and development, and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t duplicate existing security processes or equipment.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of this is state of the art,â&#x20AC;? he said of Venusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;bring your car to a halt,â&#x20AC;? Bailetti said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Best example Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got is Russia to Estonia,â&#x20AC;? he said, referencing one of the largest cyber attacks ever, which shut down many Estonian services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They brought that country to a crawl.â&#x20AC;?

Residents plan to fight Stonebridge plans Homeowners paid premium prices Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - A group of a dozen residents beside the Stonebridge Golf Course say they’ve been duped by the developer.

Jay McLean, who lives at 553 Sandgate Ridge, near the course’s

fifth hole, wanted his current home so much that he slept outside for two nights when Monarch sold the lot he now lives on.

“It’s a great community and we played a premium for our view and our privacy,” he said, adding the lot premiums for residents on Sandgate ranged from $75 to $100,000.

Last December Monarch submitted an application to build 11 single family homes across from his property. The new homes would be 43 metres away from his backyard – less than half the minimum distance of 85 metres elsewhere on the golf course,

McLean said.

When the residents moved, Monarch assured them there wouldn’t be any more homes built on the plot of lands with the municipal address of 3700 Jockvale Rd, McLean said. but there’s nothing in the purchase and sale agreement to back up that claim.

A representative from Monarch was not immediately available for comment.

McLean said the residents have been willing to work with the developer for a compromise that would keep the existing 85-metre rear set-

back intact, but the conversation has been one sided.

“The 12 residents here paid nearly $1 million in premiums so this kind of thing wouldn’t happen,” McLean said, adding the consortium of homeowners will take their case to the Ontario Municipal Board if the plan is approved by the city’s planning and environment committee.

“We have looked to the city for help, but they see it as a civil matter,” he said.

Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder said she sympathizes with the homeowners, but there’s nothing she can do to

help.

“These people feel that they’ve been duped,” Harder said. “Unfortunately, planners can’t take duping into consideration.”

The city’s top lawyer has said the city can’t intervene because it’s a private dispute.

The residents’ only recourse – if the city approves the new homes – is to sue the developer.

The public comment period for the planned development closed on Oct. 21. McLean said the item will likely go to planning committee in December.

Man trapped in single vehicle crash Theresa Fritz

theresa.fritz@metroland.com

News - A man was taken to hospital early Wednesday, Nov. 6 following a single vehicle crash on Highway 417 in West Carleton.

“At approximately 1:23 a.m., the Ottawa Fire Services responded to the 417 eastbound near Galetta Side Road for a single vehicle collision with a person trapped,” said Ottawa Fire Services public information office Marc Messier.

“A tow truck driver had come across the collision about five kilometres east of Arnprior and stayed with the injured driver until emergency crews arrived.”

Upon arrival, firefighters found a Ford F150 on its side with a male in his 40s trapped in the vehicle.

Firefighters cut the roof off the truck in order to reach the patient. The man was stabilized on a backboard and extricated from the vehicle.

Ottawa paramedics took over the man’s care at 2 a.m. and he was transported to hospital with non life-threatening injuries.

Teacher found guilty by college of sexual abuse Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroaland.com

News - A former Franco Cité high school teacher was found guilty of professional misconduct and sexual abuse by the Ontario College of Teachers in an Oct. 21 decision.

Andréane Hélène Cadieux left Franco Cité in April 2010 after teaching for two years.

She was found not guilty of physical abuse allegations by the college.

The hearing documents said she exchanged emails and texts of a sexual nature with a student.

The documents also alleged that the teacher showed a tattoo on her upper thigh to a student, and offered to pay $600 for a student’s football camp.

It also said that she engaged in inappropriate electronic communication with more than one student and behaved inappropriately when she invited several to her wedding and gave out her cell phone number.

Cadieux, reached by phone before the hearing when the accusations were made public, said she had no comment.

Her teaching certificate has been

She had been reported to the college by the school board.

Cadieux did not attend the hearings.

Be alert to signs of an eating disorder EMC news - Everyday desires to look good and be in shape can slip into problem thoughts and behaviours. Here are some signs to look out for: • Excessive concern about weight, shape and calories.

• Over-exercise and guilt if exercise regime is not kept.

• Guilt, shame or secrecy about eating.

• Strict avoidance of certain foods, particularly those considered fattening.

• Feeling fat regardless of body-size.

• Weight, shape and food control determining how a person feels about their worth.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

• Learn as much as possible about eating disorders - the more you know, the more you can help someone.

• Let the person know that you are concerned and are there to help them.

• Focus on the person’s overall well-being, not food and their weight.

• Find out what services are available in your area by calling the National Eating Disorder Information Centre.

• Be patient and compassionate. Overcoming food and weight issues takes time and courage.

This can be a very frustrating time, and many homeowners have given up their dreams of selling their homes themselves.But don't give up until

Ottawa Fury sign first player to pro roster Scottish player confident of decision to move to Canadian team Font_PalatinoLinotype_Bold

Sports - The Ottawa Fury professional soccer team has signed their first player; 28-year-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,”

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 fiancé, Cheryl McSeveny, centre, from Glasgow, Scotland.

Dos Santos said in 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.”

Residents fighting for new school in Findlay Creek Jana. “The only avenue we can take right now is doing a lot of shouting and writing letters to the ministry.

It’s up to the ministry now to look at every case.”

Sabine Gibbins sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

News – The Findlay Creek Community Association is mounting a letter writing campaign to the Ministry of Education in protest of recent changes to the Ottawa public school board’s capital priority list.

At an Oct. 22 meeting, the board approved a motion put forward by trustee Donna Blackburn prioritizing capital projects that have gone through accommodation reviews.

The change in ranking meant a new school for Findlay Creek sank from fifth to eighth place, and pushed requests for a new elementary school in the Barrhaven suburb of Half Moon Bay and a rebuild of Broadview Avenue Public School to the top of the wish list.

Sumana Jana, who oversees the school board file for the Findlay Creek Community Association, said there is no real procedure in place for trustees to use when ranking a board’s capital priorities.

“It comes down to politics, and using children as pawns,” she said.

“It’s extremely frustrating to us.

We’re not saying Broadview isn’t more important; we’re not here to fight against each other. We are fighting for a school. This is pitting parents against parents, and school against school.”

BLACKBURN’S MOTION

MARK FISHER Findlay Creek has no public elementary school, forcing the board to bus students outside the community to schools such as Elizabeth Park Public School.

Elizabeth Park Public is slated to close in 2017, as the building’s landlord, the Department of National Defence will not renew the lease.

“We believe it should have been put on the list, because with Elizabeth Park closing, we need another school for the students,” Jana said.

“If we don’t get the funding now for the school, then it won’t be ready until 2017. It’s such a predicament.

“Since we are at eighth place, we might as well be off the list,” said

Blackburn proposed a similar motion to amend the board’s capital priority list rankings at an Oct. 1 committee of the whole meeting that put forward a list of schools that had accommodation reviews or “similar studies” completed. It was defeated.

“I think the spirit of the motion got lost in that discussion,” she said, adding she simply wanted to ensure the board followed a process when choosing priorities for the wish list set to go to the Ministry of Education on Oct. 31.

Orléans and Cumberland trustee John Shea said the changes to the capital priority list ranking left him speechless.

“I thought we had closed this issue at committee of the whole,” he said, calling the last-minute move unfair.

“It’s not transparent,” he said. “We had a list that we had developed with the criteria staff had chosen. Then we completely changed that with no notice to the public. No one from Orléans or Findlay Creek was present.”

Six trustees voted in favour of the amendment, five opposed and one

abstained.

Mark Fisher, trustee for much of south Ottawa, said only looking at accommodation reviews to compile the list doesn’t take into account other factors that can make projects a priority.

“Staff have dozens of criteria they look at,” he said. “Pressures of fullday kindergarten, class sizes and location are just a few. By limiting the list to accommodation reviews, we only have a very narrow view.”

While Fisher said he supports a new school in Half Moon Bay, he said he didn’t like politicking to get it farther up the list.

“As far as I am concerned, all the projects are number one and they all have strong business cases,” he said.

“But it’s hard for me to tell residents to trust in the process when things like this happen.”

While the new list allows for staff to draft a special letter in support of a Findlay Creek that will be circulated to Ottawa area MPPs, Fisher said it’s tough to explain to his constituents

why the project dropped three spots on the list for no apparent reason.

Fisher added the site for a new school in Findlay Creek has already been paid for and has servicing. The board voted in favour of purchasing land in Half Moon Bay the same night it was put to the top of the list.

The new list in order of priority is: • New school for Half Moon Bay: 13.65 million • Broadview Avenue Public School rebuild: $17.8 million • West Carleton Secondary School addition: $6.4 million • New Stittsville Secondary School: $36.1 million • AY Jackson Secondary School addition: $6.4 million • Viscount Alexander Public School addition: $2.43 million • New Avalon II Elementary School: $13.65 million • New Findlay Creek Elementary School: $13.65 million With files from Jennifer McIntosh.

Falls of older adults can be prevented Ottawa Public Health launches awareness campaign City of Ottawa

BRIER DODGE/METROLAND

Right to Play ambassador and former NHL player and coach John Chabot speaks to the Grade 7 and 8 students at Lester B. Pearson Catholic High School on Oct. 31. He encouraged the students to find what they love to do, and set goals.

Community - Ottawa Public Health has launched the Taking Care of My Health campaign to raise awareness and help prevent falls of older adults.

Every year in Ottawa, one in four seniors fall, leading to an average of more than 6,300 visits to emergency rooms and 70 deaths. An injury related to a fall can have a lasting impact on an older adult’s independence and quality of life.

To meet the needs of Ottawa’s aging adult population, Ottawa Public Health is now offering group education sessions on topics related to healthy aging, and offering fall prevention screening clinics. At the clinics, seniors 65 and older can meet with a public health nurse to review their risk of falling, have their

balance tested and their blood pressure checked.

To help prevent falls, the health unit encourages residents to: Make your home safe: * Keep your home well lit and free of trip hazards * Remove scatter rugs and loose carpets * Install grab bars in bathrooms and elsewhere as needed * Install sturdy handrails that extend to the bottom on both sides of your stairs Be active: * Take part in at least 150 minutes of aerobic physical activity every week * Minutes count, so be active in blocks of 10 minutes at a time * Do strength and balance activities at least twice a week * Find out more about physical activity for seniors

in Ottawa Eat well: * Eat at least three servings of foods high in calcium every day * Take a daily Vitamin D supplement of 400 IU if you are over 50 * Have regular health exams with your health care provider and report any falls * Review your medications with your doctor or pharmacist at least every six months * Have your vision checked every year For more information on healthy aging programs, visit ottawa.ca. To book a group education session or to register for a fall screening clinic, call the Ottawa Public Health Information Line at 613-5806744. You can also connect with OPH on Facebook, Twitter, (@OttawaHealth), Tumblr, Pinterest, or YouTube.

Students encouraged to chase their goals by NHL alumnus Right to Play presentation visits Lester B. Pearson Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - Students at Lester B. Pearson Catholic High School recently heard from Right to Play ambassador and former NHL player and coach John Chabot.

Chabot works with Right to Play, an organization that uses sport to teach in underprivileged communities. Most of Chabot’s work has been with First Nations youth; Chabot is Anishinabeg Algonquin.

They talked about Right to Play’s combination of programs; PLAY (promoting life-skills in Aboriginal youth) with sports working concurrently with the hockey clinics in Northern Ontario Chabot runs.

Right to Play representative Maggie Cockburn told the students how the organization has been able to combine soccer tournaments with lessons such as how to use bed nets in malaria-prone countries.

She also showed a video and taught the students some of the dances and special clap that Right to Play participants do around the world.

“It’s not just a bunch of Canadians flying to these countries playing games,” she said. “It’s the ‘how’ we do things.”

Right to Play includes Canada’s First Nations populations, and also operates in Quebec and Ontario, including Chisasibi, Whapmagoostui, Mistissini, Pikangikum, Sandy Lake and Moose Factory.

Chabot spent most of the presentation en-

couraging students to follow their own goals, like he did with hockey. When he travels with Right to Play, he encourages life-skills, like goal setting.

He told the students about waking up before the crack of dawn to practise skating and shooting on a rink in his yard in Cold Lake, Alta. as a child.

“The biggest thing I learned was hard work and perseverance,” he said. “I was told countless times I wasn’t strong enough, big enough.

But I knew I was good enough.”

Training for hockey was never something he needed to be pushed to do, because it was something that he loved. His years of effort paid off, and he spent almost two decades playing professional hockey.

Chabot encouraged students to find their own goals and chase them.

“You do something you love, it transfers to something else,” he said. “You guys all have goals and dreams; these are goals that aren’t going to be given to you.”

He feels that he’s never had to work a day in his life. Instead, he’s been paid to do what he’s passionate about: play hockey.

It’s made the 300-plus stitches and countless broken bones worth it. He’s been able to play for Montreal, Pittsburgh and Detroit, and worked as the New York Islanders assistant coach for two years.

“Just because I can pass and skate and shoot, I got to see the world,” he told students.

“Follow your goals. Grab them, run with them.

Don’t make excuses. Full on run with it.”

A home at 5514 Manotick Main St. is up for sale and Coun. Scott Moffatt wants to add it to the city’s heritage register.

Falls house to be added to city’s heritage register 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.

RICH MCDONALD

“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.

While saving the building is important, McDonald said it doesn’t need to remain a private home. He said he supports using the building for business as long as the structure is preserved.

“It can be used for whatever kind of thing, but I wouldn’t want to see it demolished,” he said.

Moffatt said he plans to bring his application to the built heritage committee as soon as he can.

He said he expects it will be approved, since the criteria for adding a building is fairly vague.

“It has to have some sort of significance, (but) it’s subjective,” he said. “There’s no real written criteria.”

Brothers always argued over hand-me-downs MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories it but boys clothes, since Aunt 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 Em-

erson 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,

“That was way to easy!”

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 wanted, 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.

“I just clicked and saved 90%”

Did you WagJag and get in on the savings?

“I can't believe I saved so much... ”

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” 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

Take extra steps to stay healthy Lifestyle - This holiday season may push you astray from your healthy routines, leaving the immune system vulnerable to attack.

Make sure you’re prepared for your travels by keeping fit and by avoiding the disappointment of a last-minute illness.

“Getting into a healthy routine will help all of us enjoy our time off, in addition to maintaining those fitness resolutions,” said Helen Sherrard, president of the Canadian Health Food Association.

“Once you’re accustomed to eating well, exercising

regularly and supplementing your diet with the appropriate natural health products, your quality of life will improve, especially when you’re away on vacation.”

CHFA suggests that there are many ways to boost your health and prevent illness.

The key is finding a routine that works for you and sticking to it; even when you’re on vacation. A healthy routine can include getting six to eight hours of sleep, maintaining healthy habits for dealing with stress, limiting your alcohol consumption, and finding time to get some exercise.

Other, more delicious ways of ensuring you stay healthy on your getaway involve foods with natural and organic ingredients.

Choose the healthy option at a restaurant and avoid the temptation of junk food. For example, you can increase your intake of omega-3 fatty acids by consuming fatty fish, like salmon and tuna.

A healthy lifestyle can be complemented with natural health products. More information is available from your healthcare practitioner or online at chfa.ca.

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt warms up before a friendly flag football game to kick off the city hall “Mo’tel de Ville” Movember fundraising efforts on Nov. 1. The team has raised more than $1,000 in donations so far in support of men’s health initiatives.

Last year, 247,441 Canadians supported the efforts by fundraising $42.6 million by cultivating moustaches. During the friendly football match, the city hall team bested its media counterparts 42-12.

Designed by local architect Anthony Leading of CSV architects, the building’s renovation cost $3.4 million and was completed in 2010.

Mayor Jim Watson said it was an honour for the city to receive the award and called the centre an exemplary public facility.

“The Old Firehall is an integral part of the local community and by preserving the heritage values of the structure we are able to bring new life to this historic structure and re-purpose the building for modern day use,” Watson added.

Renovations to the building included a modern addition and a basement fitness centre to allow for the community centre to provide more programming.

The addition was set back from the main building’s facade, which left the original building architecturally intact. According to the city, the materials used on the new addition were said to be favourable to the neighbourhood’s character and sympathetic to the firehall.

The Heritage Canada Foundation National Awards program recognizes individuals, organizations, corporations and rehabilitation projects that give a new life to some of Canada’s historic places.

Selections are made by independent juries whose members represent the regions of Canada. More information about Heritage Canada or the awards program is available online at heritagecanada.org.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
