‘It’s so important to know how our actions affect others’: Hubley Blair Edwards

blair.edwards@metroland.com

Community - This is the year Jamie Hubley should have celebrated his 18th birthday.

He had everything going for him.

The Glen Cairn youth was a talented singer who enjoyed acting and entertaining others and also performed as a top-10 provincial figure skater.

“Unfortunately, Jamie was also bullied and targeted by people who didn’t know him,” said the boy’s father, Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley, speaking to a group of grades 6 and 7 students during Bullying Awareness and Prevention Week at Katimavik Elementary School on Nov. 18.

Jamie, an openly gay student at A.Y. Jackson Secondary School, attempted to start a Rainbow Club at the Glen Cairn school to create a safe haven for students to promote acceptance and where they could talk about anything without fear of being judged.

But some of the students tore his posters down and he was called names like “fag.”

In 2011, after years of bullying in both elementary school and high school, the 15year-old boy took his own life.

Jamie’s death led to the passage of a provincial bill with tougher penalties for bullies.

Respect is a cornerstone of anti-bullying: vice principal want to be treated,” said a girl in Grade 6.

A Grade 7 boy said, “Ask the (victim) if they’re OK.” This year, students at Katimavik Elementary will post photographs of themselves on a school wall under a banner that reads, “I will respect myself, others and the environment.”

“I’m hoping the students have a greater understanding of respect,” said Harry de Roos, vice-principal at Katimavik Elementary. “You know, how we’re in this ‘me’ society – it becomes more of a ‘we’ society.”

The Canadian Red Cross also received $250,000 to set up its youth-led Stand up to Bullying and Discrimination project.

FIGHTING BACK

During his presentation, Hubley asked students to speak up against bullying, reporting incidents to parents, teachers and friends, and to treat one another with respect and compassion.

“It’s so important to know how our actions affect others,” he said. “Sometimes the things we say or do are hurtful to others even if we don’t mean to hurt.”

During his presentation, Hubley asked the students how they could help stamp out bullying at their school.

The school planned to hold several different activities to promote respect in the elementary school during the anti-bullying week.

Santa’s best friends Dog owners help raise money for animal welfare society Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

Community - Dog owners from across the Ottawa region took a trip to Kanata to give their hounds the chance to meet old Saint Nick on Nov. 17.

The Doggy Santa Photo Day was hosted by Meggi Byers and some of her Remax associates to raise money for Lanark Animal Welfare Society.

Even as Santa Claus first sat down in the Christmas-decorated barn on Mowbray Road, there were more than 30 families waiting to have their favourite pets pose with the big guy

in red.

Byers said dogs of all sizes came out, including the tiniest, a Chihuahua-toy poodle mix named Mia. The 1.7 kilogram puppy and her owner, Tracy Latimer took a number of pictures with Santa.

Some of the hounds even dressed up for the occasion, sporting red bows, bells and sashes.

Bruin, a chocolate lab was one of the lucky dogs to had his photo taken. His owner, Lore Hervato said it was his first time meeting Santa.

Byers said she was happy with the turn out and added the group would love to make this holiday event an annual one.

OPINION

Re: “The older woman is the most vulnerable of us,” Kanata Kourier-Standard, Nov. 7.

I read with interest your article on abusive relationships. I too have a story to share.

(Editor’s note: the following is text from a speech given to community groups by United Way Bureau speaker Bernadine, who asked to withhold her last name.)

The subject of domestic violence/partner assault is one of those uncomfortable topics, like mental illness – we all know it exists in our community, but we don’t talk about it and we don’t really get involved. I’m here to change that . . . I made a deal with myself to: discuss the issue, engage people, advocate on behalf of other women and live my life without fear.

In May 2012, I read an article in the Ottawa Sun entitled Family Violence Differs Greatly in Ottawa & Gatineau.

“The rates of police-reported

Connected to your community

family violence in 2010 were lowest in Ontario, with Ottawa reporting the fewest incidents at 98 victims per 100,000 population. Gatineau was ranked amongst the top five in the country, with a reported family violence rate three times as high as Ottawa at 320 victims.

The next day, in a subsequent article in the Sun, a University of Ottawa professor agreed that the statistics could mean there is less violence in Ottawa.

He also warned that it could also mean that women in Ottawa are less likely to report abuse than women in Gatineau. I know in my case, I was embarrassed, humiliated and afraid, so it took a few years before I did.

Across Canada, there were 99,000 family violence victims in 2010, with nearly 50 per cent being committed by their spouse, according to Statistics Canada.

According to Statistics Canada (Family Violence in Canada: A Statistical Profile, 1999), only six per cent of all sexual assaults are reported to police.

Really, regardless of the statistics, domestic violence / partner assault is fundamentally WRONG. In March 2012, I finally had the courage to file a police report.

That’s when I became Case #12-70747, just a number, with-

out a name or a voice. I was in shock, disbelief, hurt and horrified. Thankfully, a police victim crisis counsellor connected me with Family Services Ottawa where I joined a support group for abused women.

I never dreamed that I would need the services of an agency funded by United Way. The fact is I did.

You know how people with good intensions say just take it one day at a time.

For me, during this time, it was all I could do to get through a day just minutes at a time. I focussed on the dog walk, making my breakfast, having my shower, driving to work.

Some days were easier than others. Some days, it was all I could do to get through a day without breaking down and crying. And then on the drive home, I would hear Kelly Clarkson’s song Stronger and I would turn up the volume and try to absorb the message from that song to give me the strength to keep going.

For months, I had trouble getting to sleep and I would wake up different times during the night, terrified, panicked, reliving what had happened … post-traumatic stress.

At the time, I tried getting help from my doctor, but there was a three-month waiting list.

The wait times for other resource centres were three to six

months. When you’re in crisis mode three months is an eternity and I didn’t want to fall back into the trap of being in an abusive relationship.

Statistics say a woman will go back to her abuser at least three times. I was determined not to be one of those statistics.

During the three-month woman abuse program, we covered several key topics: • The cycle of violence • The myths & facts of abuse • The 10 different forms of abuse: physical, sexual, verbal/ emotional, financial, harassment / stalking, social, internet, environmental, ritual and cult and spiritual/religious • The impact on women and children • Personal safety and safety planning (potential for violence to escalate); resources to deal with abuse • Self-care and self-esteem = recovery • Red flags, the excessive jealousy, accusations, controlling behaviour, demanding to know my whereabouts at all times, text, calls, emails, the isolation from my friends and family, the angry outbursts – at times it was like living with Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde The red flags were in my relationship, but I didn’t realize what they meant.

OPINION

It’s like trying to look at the painting of the Mona Lisa two inches away and only seeing the colour and outline of her dress. When you stand back 10 feet, you can see the whole picture, including her famous smile.

I consider myself to be one of the lucky ones. In my support group, I heard that some women have lived with abuse for 20 years – you and I both know there are some that don’t survive.

I no longer live in an abusive relationship, walking on egg shells, wondering when the next blow-up will be.

Thanks to Family Services Ottawa and the wonderful counsellors who run the women abuse program and the individual counselling, I now understand what the cycle of violence is; the honeymoon, the tension, the blow-up. This cycle can happen in a day, a

less or is currently homeless.

I ask the audience to keep their hands in the air and ask the last question; if they know someone who is struggling with mental health issues and addictions.

When I ask the audience to open their eyes and look around the room, they see that about 80 per cent of the people in the room have at least one hand or both hands in the air.

They see for themselves how many people are connected to these issues. I explain that these issues fall under United Way’s pillar of Turning Lives Around.

I ask them to be a star in someone’s life so we can make change happen in our community through our donations.

Thanks to Family Services Ottawa, my spirit, once broken, is slowly returning. I found my voice. I have strength, courage and enthusiasm for my life. Thank you.

As stated by an attendee at the business meeting to discuss rail requirements for Kanata, this city is definitely not G8.

When we lived near there a few decades ago the building was known as “Whisky Town” and we were told that in the old days it was an inn and that the horse-drawn coaches from Toronto stopped off there and it was a pretty lively place... hence the “whisky.”

We’d never heard of it being a tannery. What a pity it is being demolished.

week, a month or a year. It’s insidious and unpredictable.

My bruises and sore ribs may have healed, but the emotional scars are still there.

I know it will take time for those scars to heal and that’s OK. Women impacted by domestic violence/partner assault need professional help immediately – not in three months and they need constant support and resources – like the ones funded by United Way. Programs like the women abuse program and the general counselling program at Family Services Ottawa are vital to the health and safety of women and their children.

When I speak to organizations, before I go, I ask them to close their eyes and raise their hand if they know someone who has been the victim of violence, abuse or family functioning issues.

I ask the audience to keep their hands in the air and ask a second question; if they know someone who has been home-

Equality can’t be compromised

C

ity council will soon begin discussions about a new layer of red tape designed to single out students and their landlords.

The move is an attempt to create a second class of people in our city: renters.

Coun. Rick Chiarelli plans to propose the regulation of rental properties, but only near Algonquin College. Landlords would need licences, and those licences would be in jeopardy if the renters bother the neighbours.

Our youth, it seems, should be neither seen nor heard.

It’s a case of picking on the voters a councillor may feel they can ignore as they placate homeowners who may be bothered by noise or mess at a nearby rental property. Never mind that the city has noise and property standards bylaws already in place; better to cater to those who cast ballots in greater numbers.

The proposed regulation also presumes homeowners don’t make noise or a mess. There’s no hint that homeowners might need regulating in Chiarelli’s world.

Adding the red tape of a licensing system for landlords near Algonquin could result in good, neighbourly students being booted out if landlords

decide one young person is one too many. Why take chances?

If the process in onerous enough we may also see some landlords throw their hands up and walk away, selling off properties for non-residential uses.

Would homeowners near the college prefer a drivethrough fast food outlet or gas station next door or across the street instead of rental homes?

It should be obvious anyone to anyone buying a home near Algonquin College that students may also want to live in the neighbourhood. Today’s students and those seeking an education in the future shouldn’t pay the price for a homeowner’s lack of due diligence.

Push out the students – from neighbourhoods within walking distance of the college – and maybe we can instead look forward to having a “student ghetto� elsewhere in our city where there are fewer complaints (or ones the bylaw department can ignore) instead of young renters spread evenly amongst us.

The Chiarelli plan probably sounds like music to the ears of some homeowners, but it also says owners have more rights than renters. This person is more important than that person. That’s both divisive and small-minded.

JFK, the news and the changing times

W

ith increasing frequency, you get reminders of how time has changed.

Take this week, the 50th anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy. The first reminder of how much time has changed is the fact that anyone under the age of, say, 55 has no recollection at all of the event – an event that older people, and not just Americans, count as one of the most important memories of their lives.

For those who are old enough, the Kennedy assassination is one of those where-were-you moments. Some of the others might be, for Canadians, the October Crisis of 1970, another event that many are too young to remember, and 9/11, which is still way too close.

Those of us who were around at the time John Kennedy was shot remember being glued to our TV sets all weekend. The assassination happened early Friday afternoon and TV coverage was around the clock.

Unlike today, we were dependent on television and, to a lesser extent, the newspapers, for the latest developments. Today information would be flying around on the Internet every minute. Not all of that information would be accurate, mind you.

Those were the days of afternoon newspa-

Later, an extra edition would fill in more details.

That’s another way times have changed: afternoon newspapers. You could do a lot with afternoon deadlines – get the west coast hockey results into the paper, as well as the overnight reviews of concerts, the morning developments at city council and, when necessary, an assassination.

events at the World Trade Center in New York, and as recently as this month, a Toronto newspaper, The Sun, put at an extra to recount the latest developments in the Rob Ford saga.

On such occasions, newspapers remember how important they are to people and go to extra lengths to put the information out. But by now, most readers are accustomed to going on line, often on newspaper websites.

Times have changed. It would be nice if afternoon newspapers were around to record them. What we in the newspaper biz were told back in the ’80s was that people were demanding a newspaper on their kitchen table in the morning. What we were also told, perhaps more significantly, was that advertisers wanted their ads on those kitchen tables all day, instead of just from late afternoon on.

So all of the major papers in the country, and on the continent, went morning. It’s intriguing to speculate about what might have happened if they hadn’t done so.

With those early deadlines, often before midnight, the newspapers could get to the breakfast table easily, but there wasn’t as much in them. Readers had to go elsewhere to find out who won some baseball and hockey games from the previous night. If they saw reviews of concerts, the reviews were written

about the first half. If there was a political development, a crime or an accident in the morning, they would read about it the next morning.

That helped radio news and television news and, when it came along, that helped the Internet. The daily newspaper was becoming less of a factor in people’s daily lives and less central to them when a major event occurred.

Obviously there are still things a newspaper can do, such as provide exhaustive coverage, in-depth reporting and context. On Nov. 22, 1963, people looked to the daily newspaper for it. Today they look elsewhere.

Raise the water, all canoes float higher forever.

But there was one line that stood out toward the end: “If we lift the level of the water, everyone’s canoe will float a little higher.”

The message was that we, graduates, should go forth and do something for the betterment of society, specifically for the poorest among us.

Last week, an article in the Globe and Mail by health reporter Andre Picard brought home the fact that we’re not doing enough in this country to lift the level of the water. Not by a long shot.

In “Wealth begets health,” part of the Globe’s series called “The wealth paradox,” Picard puts forward some startling health statistics correlating to income.

Here’s a quotable quote: “Virtually every measure of population health – from child mortality to rates of cancer, cardiovascular disease and traumatic injury – is worse in poor areas than in wealth ones.”

How can that be? Don’t we all have universal access to healthcare? Yes, writes Picard.

But access is not the issue. Poverty, rather, is the underlying cause of disease.

“Physiologically, the damage done by poverty – absolute and relative,” writes Picard, “is believed to be caused principally by stress, which can affect brain development, cause heart damage, and can even alter DNA.” There are so many shocking statistics and quotes in Picard’s article that it’s hard to know where to begin to solve the problems.

He notes that “the risk of dying of cancer within five years of diagnosis is 47 per cent higher in the low income group than the high income one,” that those in low income groups are less likely to have a family doctor, that “people living in poor neighbourhoods have a 37 per cent greater risk of suffering a heart attack than those in wealthier communities.”

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse He tells us that “children born to low-income parents are twice as likely to end up in special education class and three times as likely to suffer mental health problems than those in the highest income group.” Further, those in low income groups are more likely to drop out of high school, have a 58 per cent higher infant mortality rate and an 83 per cent higher rate of sudden infant death syndrome.

At what point do we – and the governments that represent us – step in to turn this situation around?

Are we all so concerned about our individual wealth that we can’t see the elephant in the room?

And yet, there is almost nothing on the radar of today’s politicians that seems to address these stark realities.

At the federal level, Prime Minister Stephen Harper continues to tout his party as the one for Canadian families, and yet he has failed to introduce a national childcare strategy, and failed to implement any deep and meaningful tax benefits for Canadian families.

We’ve seen veterans pensions attacked and the old age security age hiked. Let’s face it, social spending is not, primarily, a Conservative value.

At the provincial level, under the Liberals, we have seen cuts to healthcare, including, most recently, a halt to longterm physiotherapy services, a move that has penalized the elderly, the disabled and those on fixed income. School breakfast programs are the exception rather than the norm.

And full-day kindergarten has failed to address the reality that families – single mothers in particular – need quality

childcare, not shoddy education.

At the municipal level – who knows what’s going on at the City of Ottawa?

It seems bus fares and library user fees increase at every annual budget – two things that affect low-income families more than anyone else – while the police budget is forever increasing.

The food bank is taxed – with increasing demand year over year – with people mostly donating only seasonally, and often with food that is lacking on the nutrition level.

This is not just an issue for the political left.

Poverty, as Picard notes, affects our economy and siphons tax dollars unnecessarily, affecting productivity, and adding costs to “an already overburdened healthcare system.”

Picard cites one study that suggests if “those in the bottom 20 per cent of income earned as much as those one step higher on the income ladder, the savings to the health system would be $7.6 billion a year.”

Are you looking for a raise?

Or are you looking to raise the level of the water?

Can’t we work together to get everyone’s canoe to float a little bit higher?

IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT Notice of Intention to Designate The City of Ottawa on November 13, 2013 established its intention to designate the Alexander Fleck House, 593 Laurier Avenue West under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value.

Description of the Property The Alexander Fleck House is a two-and-a-half storey red brick residential building constructed in 1902 with a later two-storey addition on the western elevation. It is located at 593 Laurier Avenue West, at the corner of Laurier and Bronson Avenues, just outside the western border of Centretown in the City of Ottawa.

Heritage Value The Alexander Fleck House’s cultural heritage value is demonstrated through its architectural significance as an excellent example of a Queen Anne Revival style house with a high degree of craftsmanship, its association with Alexander Fleck Jr. and the Fleck family, as well as its character as a community landmark.

The house is valuable as an excellent example of the Queen Anne Revival style which was popular from the 1880s to 1910. The house, with its steeply-pitched, cross-gable roof with tall chimneys, projecting bays, stone porch with gabled roof and wood columns, use of multiple materials and its geometric and floriated motifs is typical of the Queen Anne Revival style. Excellent craftsmanship can be seen in the complex roof lines and massing, the intricate brick and stone work, as well as the decorative stained glass.

Historical value is found in the building’s association with Alexander Fleck Jr. who owned and operated Alexander Fleck Limited, Vulcan Iron Works on Wellington Street in the late 19th and early 20th century. The general machine shop and foundry which was founded by Fleck’s father contributed to a number of important local projects such as the Cornwall Canal and Ottawa’s street rail system. They held the castings contract for the Canada Atlantic Railway and manufactured machinery for the saw and paper mill industries. Alexander Jr. lived in this house from the time it was constructed in 1902 until his death in 1923. His widow, Maud Fleck, stayed in the house until 1940.

O Christmas tree The giant Christmas tree on Castlefrank Road is illuminated during a ceremony on Nov. 12 which was attended by the prime minister’s wife, Laureen Harper. A second tree – in front of Jack Charron Arena – will also be alight each evening during the holiday season.

The Alexander Fleck house has contextual value as a neighbourhood landmark for its location at the corner of Laurier and Bronson Avenues and its prominent location on a limestone ridge.

Objections Any person wishing to object to this designation may do so by letter, outlining the reasons for the objection and any other relevant information. This letter must be received by the Clerk of the City of Ottawa either by registered mail or personally delivered within 30 days of the publication of this notice. When a notice of objection has been received, the Council of the City of Ottawa will refer the matter to the Conservation Review Board for a Hearing and a Report.

News - Jaws dropped and a few “wows” were heard as Steve Sharlow unveiled a cheque for more than $14,000 for the Kanata Food Cupboard on Nov. 14.

“I was actually in shock,” said Karen Waters, client coordinator at the food cupboard.

“I think it’s amazing – wow – I was blown away.”

Sharlow, the past-president of the Nepean-Kanata Rotary Club, pledged to lose 100 pounds and raise $10,000 for the food cupboard last year.

On the day he unveiled the cheque, he had surpassed both goals.

He raised more than $14,100 and lost 109 pounds in a little over a year. Called his “fat for food” fundraiser, Sharlow wanted to connect two food issues: being overweight and having difficulty buying the basics.

“It’s the one thing somebody can do, the least I can do,” said Sharlow about com-

The 13-year-old Bridlewood girl had made it through two auditions at the Shenkman Arts Centre in Orléans, carefully watched by members of Canada s Ballet Jorgen.

“I was so scared because they were naming off people and asking them to stand up,” said Stephanie. “I thought these were the people who had to leave.”

Then the ballet company choreographers thanked everyone who was still seating, and told them they had not been selected.

The ballet company was selecting 27 local dancers from a field of 130 hopefuls, ages five to 17, to perform in its upcoming production of The Nutcracker: A Canadian Tradition at the Shenkman Arts Centre and Centrepointe Theatre in December.

“I was just so excited that I had made it,” said Stephanie.

Her mother, Nancy Baker, said she thought trying out for the ballet company would be a good experience for Stephanie.

“I was happy for her,” said Baker.

Stephanie will perform in The Nut-

cracker at Centrepointe Theatre on Dec. 14 and 15, and is an alternate for the ballet’s performance at the Shenkman Arts Centre on Dec. 16 and 17.

The Grade 8 student at W.O. Mitchell Elementary School had auditioned for a part as a dragonfly, but selected as one of the squirrels.

“They just thought I was a better squirrel,” said Stephanie.

The local dancers learned the choreography for The Nutcracker over two days, and have been practising every Sunday since they were selected to join the production in midOctober.

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

The Nutcracker will be Stephanie’s first performance in a professional ballet production; until now she has only in Christmas and summer recitals organized by the Kanata Ballet School.

Stephanie Baker, 13, is excited she was selected to perform as a squirrel in Canada’s Ballet Jorgen’s production of The Nutcracker: A Canadian Tradition at the Shenkman Arts Centre and Centrepointe Theatre this December.

“I’m extremely nervous,” said the teen. “When I first get on stage or when I’m backstage, I get nervous, but once you get on stage you just dance.”

Stephanie has been studying dance -- ballet, modern, tap, jazz and hip hop – since she was four years old.

“I like ballet and tap, because my sisters all do ballet, but they don’t do tap,” said Stephanie. “So it makes me feel special I guess.”

“I just like the freedom it gives

you,” she said, explaining why she loves to dance. “It’s something to get you active and out of the house, and you meet new people.”

Stephanie also studies piano and plays soccer with the West Ottawa Soccer Club and her school team.

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

The first Black and White Auction was held in 2009 and raised $3,500 for charity. Nadia said she and her group decided to bring back the event – with an updated goal of $4,000 to $5,000.

“Our goal for this event is to encourage community members to participate in a fun night of live and silent auctioning, entertainment, and socializing as a way to fundraise for the Ottawa Hospital Foundation,” said Nadia, who lives in Kanata Lakes.

According to a pamphlet the resource centre hands out to students: • Canadian youth begin dating or “going out” as early as age 11 • 40 per cent of teenage girls ages 14 to 17 report knowing someone their age who has been hit or beaten by a boyfriend • Teen victims of dating violence are more likely to abuse drugs, have eating disorders, and attempt suicide • 26 per cent of teenagers said they are very concerned about dating violence; 31 per cent said they or a friend experienced dating violence November is Woman Abuse Prevention Month and

relationships.

Volunteers with the resource centre have been hosting presentations in local schools for grades 7 and 8 students for about five years, said Terry Longhorn, a volunteer and peer support worker in the violence against women program.

“We want to make a difference at the early age, before the students get into the actual dating scene,” she said. “We want to equip them with knowledge so they can make better choices.”

The healthy dating relationships program is offered through the violence against women program run by the resource centre.

“We’re dealing with the results when we’re dealing with women in shelters,” said Long-

Metroland Media is publishing articles throughout the month on various aspects of violence against women and the services offered by the resource centre.

Two different healthy dating relationships presentations are offered: a one-period lecture for Grade 7 students, introducing them to the idea of healthy versus unhealthy relationships.

The presentation for Grade 8 students runs over three consecutive weeks where volunteers discuss gender, gender stereotypes and societal values; myths and facts regarding relationships; followed by red flags and where to turn for help, said Jenn Wilks, peer support program co-ordinator in violence against women services.

Last year, volunteers spoke with more than 600 grades 7 and 8 students.

“I think a huge aspect of prevention is education and awareness,” said Wilks. “We hear from older women in the (violence against women) program that they were never told what is healthy and what is unhealthy.

For my generation, we were taught sex ed – the biology – but we were never taught what a healthy relationship looks like.

“We think it’s really important to start at a young age.”

Wilks and Longhorn said some of the red flags of unhealthy relationships include a partner who: • Tries to control their partner’s behaviour • Isolates their partner from friends and family • Is constantly texting or calling, needing to know where their partner is at all times • Shows extreme jealousy and the need for power and control “Jealousy, yes, is a sign of human emotion but extreme jealousy is also an early warning sign,” said Longhorn.

Violence is a cycle, often starting with a “honeymoon” period, followed by abuse.

“An abusive relationship doesn’t start as abusive. It starts off as all sunshine and lollipops,” Longhorn said. “It grows over time; your family gets pushed away, you’re isolated, you aren’t allowed to talk to your friends.”

The healthy dating relationships program aims to give youths the tools to recognize the signs in their own relationships, but also prepares them to help others.

“We know that young people often don’t report abuse to an adult in their life. They’re more likely to talk to their peers,” said Wilks.

Longhorn said the best thing to do if someone confides they are in an unhealthy or abusive relationship is to believe them, then help them find a safe adult – perhaps a parent, guidance counsellor or teacher – to talk to, or to call a helpline.

“Coming into the schools, it also makes the staff, the teachers, the parents, aware,” she said.

“We’re just trying to help people recognize and be in a healthy relationship.”

Volunteers also offer a oneperiod presentation on dating violence for grades 9 to 12 students.

The students are given a short quiz to see what they know about dating violence and then they watch a video on the warning signs of relationship abuse. Afterwards, they are invited to participate in the resource centre’s poster contest.

“We invite them to create a poster expressing to their peers what they want them to know about dating violence,” said Wilks.

The Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre is aiming to educate youth and teenagers on the difference between healthy and unhealthy relationships with a series of presentations geared towards grades 7 and 8 students, and a poster contest for grades 9 to 12 students. This year’s winning poster was created by Sarah Davis and Kylie Hailstone from South Carleton High School.

Hailstone from South Carleton High School. The winning entry encouraged students to “Fight the Silence.”

The poster contest is now open to submissions with a final deadline of May 2014.

“They’re amazing, they do

a great job,” said Longhorn.

“We’ve had some excellent (submissions).”

She said it’s important to dispel the myth that “you’re nobody until somebody loves you.”

“The first person who loves you is you,” Longhorn said. “You

need to love who you are before you can love somebody else.”

Resources for youth News - Jenn Wilks, peer support program co-ordinator in violence against women services, said the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre created a healthy dating relationships program for grades 7 and 8 students to help them make positive choices.

“We’re not often modelled healthy relationships coming from media,” she said.

The resource centre offers a pamphlet for youths with information and resources on dealing with dating violence: • Abuse has several forms: physical, emotional, financial, sexual, and psychological. All are equally unacceptable.

• The abuse is not your fault. Regardless of what your abuser may say, nothing you did or said caused, or made you deserve, the abuse. * Abuse is not caused by the use of alcohol or drugs, and these factors cannot be considered an excuse.

• Abuse is not something to be ashamed of and you do not need to tolerate it. There are people and services that are ready to help you and will not judge you.

CONTACTS

There are a number of resources available for youths and teenagers when it comes to dating and violence: • Kids Help Phone: 1-800-668-6868 • Youth Net: 613-738-3915 • Youth Services Bureau: 613-7291000 • Sexual Assault Support Centre: 613234-2266 • Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre: 613-591-3686

The City has a commemorative naming program to recognize residents who have contributed to their local community. Last Friday I was pleased to honour the memory of Louis Turner, one of the early founders of hockey in Kanata. At that time there was no arena. Hockey was played on outdoor rinks in bitter cold, snow, sleet and more until the Mlacak arena (just the ice area) was constructed in the early 1970’s. The park is located near the Turner family home on the Old Carp Road. It is a tranquil natural area with a forested wetland, crossed by a pathway raised above the wet areas. In a small glade, a natural play area has been constructed, which is a fitting remembrance for a man who did so much for our youth.

Notice of Public Open House Queen Street Renewal: Bronson Avenue to Elgin Street - Environmental Assessment & Design Wednesday, December 11, 2013 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm Ottawa City Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue West, Jean Pigott Hall The City of Ottawa is undertaking an Environmental Assessment and detailed design study for the proposed Queen Street Renewal project. The project involves a comprehensive streetscape renewal of the Queen Street surface infrastructure from Bronson Avenue to Elgin Street (see map).

OTTAWA RECEIVES WALK FRIENDLY COMMUNITY SILVER DESIGNATION from Canada Walks, a national organization encouraging municipalities to be more pedestrian friendly. This is the highest designation given to an Ontario Municipality. There is more to do, so I am establishing a Sustainable Transportation Committee. If you are interested please contact my office.

RADON GAS

It is time to test your home for Radon Gas, as the most accurate readings occur during the home heating season. Information is available on both the City and Health Canada websites. Radon gas can contribute to lung cancer and can be reduced to a safe level in your home at a reasonable cost. It is widespread, found across the City, including Kanata, so find out about it and test your home.

The anticipated modifications to the street surface will be in support of the Confederation Line Light Rail Transit (LRT) project and will address the anticipated increase in pedestrian volumes resulting from two LRT stations that will be constructed along Queen Street. The project will also be guided by the Vision and Strategic Directions of the City’s associated Downtown Moves: Transforming Ottawa’s Streets initiative, which designates Queen Street as a “Showcase Street”.

The study process is following the requirements of a Schedule ‘C’ project under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Process.

Health care workers urged to get flu shot News - Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Arlene King, is stressing that it is particularly important for health care workers to get a flu shot.

The provincial Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care has been working with organizations representing different sections of the health sector that are all committed to increasing flu immunization rates among their members.

From that work, the awareness campaign ‘Let’s Get Fluless’, is being rolled out across the province. It aims to promote

the flu shot and protect health care workers, their patients and families from influenza.

It is estimated that about half of the province’s hospital staff (51 per cent) and three-quarters of longterm care workers (74 per cent) currently receive the flu shot.

Good hygiene practices such as frequent hand washing, covering all coughs and sneezes, and staying home when you are sick, can help reduce the spreading of the flu.

Kanata Choral Society offers music to put you in the Christmas spirit nothing like choral music at Christmas.

“It absolutely represents the season.”

Choir members such as Bill McLeish seem to have caught Auchinleck’s enthusiasm.

McLeish grew up in a musical family where his mother played the organ at church and he and his siblings learned to sing and read music, albeit with no formal training. In fact, McLeish said he sang in choirs from ages 5 to 55.

When he and his wife bought a home just minutes away from St.Paul’s, McLeish couldn’t resist joining the choir, and he

has found that singing at their level has changed him.

“Before I was satisfied if I got the right notes,” he says, “Now I’m trying to make a beautiful sound. As he hears the difference, he works harder to achieve the sounds he wants, practicing several hours each week.

“I’m not as good as the others so I have to work a little harder,” he said.

Director Auchinlect is proud of the choir and he hopes that the concert will

be uplifting for the audience.

But more than that, he would like to see the music introduce them to something new.

“Either we will do a piece that they haven’t heard before,” said Auchinlect, “Or we will do something in a style that wasn’t familiar to them.”

In addition to the beautiful music they plan to make, the society will be holding a silent auction to raise money for the upcoming year. Items may be purchased by

cash or cheque.

Tickets cost $18 for adults if purchased before the concert or $20 at the door, $15 for seniors and free for children under the age of 12.

Arts - If you enjoy choral music and appreciate a welltrained choir, you won’t want to miss the Christmas concert by the Kanata Choral Society.

It will take place on Dec. 7 in St. Paul’s Anglican Church on 20 Young Road at 7:30 p.m. Although the choir has been part of the Kanata cultural scene for the past 26 years, many think that it hasn’t been given the recognition it deserves. Here’s your opportunity to decide for yourself.

Under its current director, Scott Auchinleck, the choir

will be presenting a wide variety of choral music from different time periods in different styles. Among the major works will be selections from A Ceremony of Carols by Benjamin Britten, accompanied by harpist Lucile Brais Hildesheim and Christmas Oratorio by Saint-Saens. In addition there will be Christmas carols sung in French and English and sing-a-long carols.

The music reflects Auchinleck’s enthusiasm for choral music.

“Christmas is such a wonderful for season for choral music,” he said. “To me there’s

Mayor backs tougher penalties in transit operator assaults

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Mayor Jim Watson and city council are throwing their support behind a move towards stiffer penalties for people who assault bus drivers.

Bills C-402 and C-533 would stiffen penalties for offenders convicted of assaulting public transit workers. The second bill, introduced by Liberal MP Ralph Goodale, specifically asks judges to consider attacks on on-duty transit workers as an “aggravating circumstance” during sentencing.

The motion comes on the heels of a superior court judge’s decision to hand a suspended sentence to a man who admitted to beating an OC Transpo driver on April 22. A plea deal means the man won’t serve any time in jail and will get one year of probation.

The union that represents Ottawa bus drivers, Amalgamated Transit Union 279, strongly supports strengthened legislation.

“We have to stop this,” the local’s president, Craig Watson, said last month.

A minimum sentence would send a clear message that bus driver assaults are unacceptable in today’s society, he added.

MAYOR JIM WATSON

OC Transpo recorded 59 incidents of violence against bus operators last year. In 2011, there were 2,061 driver assaults reported across Canada.

The city’s transit commission already registered its support for Bill C-402 in 2012.

City launches app to help commuters dodge congestion Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Ottawa commuters can now get traffic updates on the go thanks to a new mobile app.

On Nov. 18, the city launched Ottawa Nav – a software application for Apple and Android devices – that will tell drivers, cyclists and pedestrians about major traffic disruptions in their area as they happen.

The app is the first of its kind in Ontario and perhaps the world, said Gerti Dervishi, an engineering graduate from the University of Ottawa who worked on the app as part of a Ryerson University spinoff company called Flybits.

After downloading the free app from the

Google Play or Apple App Store, users can select one of 20 zones around the city. Anything that’s slowing traffic down, whether it’s lane closures due to construction, a collision or unplanned roadwork due to a water-main break, is shown for each zone. Users can also view live video from any of the 200 traffic cameras located around the city.

In addition, users can connect with other services available in the area, such as OC Transpo’s mobile “Mobi” website, Capital Bixi bike-share stations, Pay-By-Phone parking meter service or Ottawa Ride Match.

“You can move around the city and as you move, you will be connected to relevant apps,” said Hossein Rahnama of Flybits.

See OTTAWA NAV, page 36

IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND

Flybits employees Steven D’Costa and Gerti Dervishi, a University of Ottawa graduate, show off the new Ottawa Nav app designed to help motorists, cyclists and pedestrians avoid snafus on the roads.

Notice of Intention to Designate The City of Ottawa on November 13, 2013 established its intention to designate the St. Charles Church, 135 Barrette Street, under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value.

Description of Property St. Charles Church, 135 Barrette Street, constructed in 1908, is a large, brick clad wooden Roman Catholic Church. It is located between Beechwood Avenue and Barrette Street in Ottawa’s Vanier neighbourhood.

Custom versus off the shelf orthotics Do you have sore achy feet, knee or hip pain? You might be surprised to discover that a lot of your aches

and pains can actually be prevented with an orthotic in your shoe. However, before you run out to your nearest drugstore to pick up a pair, you should know custom orthotics will provide much better support and relief than a brand hanging on a shelf.

An orthotic acts as a brace to provide support and reduce strain on the muscles of the foot and lower leg. No

two people have the same shaped feet, which is why to truly be effective orthotics should be moulded to fit

your feet and address your individual needs.

At BioPed, certified Pedorthists take the time to discover the individual needs of each patient. They conduct a gait assessment to identify any physical issues that are causing pain and discomfort and discuss lifestyle goals, concerns and medical conditions.

A cast is then made of the patient’s foot and custom

orthotics are handmade in their onsite lab to address patients’ individual needs.

While store bought orthotics only last about six-months custom orthotics are made from more durable material and can last up to fouryears. If your feet change or concerns about comfort arise during that time, you can have them modified at BioPed instead of having to purchase a completely new pair.

You might think that custom orthotics are too expensive.

However, you’re more likely to go through several pairs of store-bought orthotics over the same period of time. In the end, you pay approximately the same amount but with custom orthotics you receive greater support and comfort.

To discover how custom orthotics can help relieve the aches and pains you suffer from daily, visit BioPed online to find a location in Ottawa near you. You can also find more information about them on Facebook or YouTube.

Heritage Value The cultural heritage value of St. Charles Church lies in it being a good example of the Québec Neoclassical style, its important role in the Francophone Catholic community and in its contextual value as a landmark in Vanier.

Designed by Québec architect Charles Brodeur, St. Charles Church is a good example of the Québec Neoclassical style. Neoclassicism was popular in Canada from 1800 until 1860 but churches continued to be built in this style in Québec and French-speaking Parishes outside of Québec into the 20th century.

Typical of the style, St. Charles Church has a smooth, symmetrical façade and a simple, cruciform plan. It features a symmetrical fenestration pattern, and a projecting entrance tower topped by a wooden belfry and flanked by two tower like corner pilasters topped with smaller belfries.

St. Charles Church has historical value for its association with the Francophone Catholic community in Ottawa. The congregation was formed in 1908 in response to demands by the local Catholic community who thought that other Francophone churches in Ottawa were too far away from Vanier. In 1912, Father François-Xavier Barrette was appointed Parish Priest and under his guidance, the church quickly became the centre of the Francophone Catholic community in Vanier. In 1926, Barrette and a small group of civil servants formed the Order of Jacques Cartier, an all male secret society intended to protect and promote Francophone Catholic values. It grew rapidly in the first half of the 20th century and is credited with the development of many Francophone organizations including Club Richelieu International, a service club that is still active today. The Order of Jacques Cartier was dissolved in 1965, as a result of the societal changes prompted by the Quiet Revolution.

The location of St. Charles Church along the curve of Beechwood Avenue and its tower topped with a blue neon cross make it a prominent local landmark. It has contextual value as it contributes to the distinctive French Canadian identity in the Vanier community.

Objections Any person wishing to object to this designation may do so by letter, outlining the reasons for the objection and any other relevant information. This letter must be received by the Clerk of the City of Ottawa either by registered mail or personally delivered within 30 days of the publication of this notice. When a notice of objection has been received, the Council of the City of Ottawa will refer the matter to the Conservation Review Board for a Hearing and a Report.

Ottawa Nav to help travellers avoid traffic snarls on the go and mobility information page.

The city paid $95,000 for its part of the partnership with Flybits.

The app will be useful as the city continues to rebuild and resurface roads and construct the light-rail system, said Mayor Jim Watson. “These are important projects that are shaping our communities,� he said, “but they are also presenting changes in getting around.�

While the city used to rely on media outlets to pass along traffic information to travellers, tools like Ottawa Nav allow the city to connect directly with citizens to instantly pass along useful information, Watson said.

The app will also give the city information on traffic patterns and pinch points. Individual trip information won’t be reported back to SUBMITTED/CITY OF OTTAWA the city in order to protect privacy, The new Ottawa Nav mobile application allows users to choose what area of the city they would like to see Rahnama said. traffic information.

Continued from page 35

By the spring, Ottawa Nav should have two additional features: a route planner and a tool that shows how much capacity is left in park-andride lots.

A version for Blackberry devices should be available in the next few months as well.

The app has two modes: driver and passenger. If driver mode is selected, the device’s screen will be locked and it will emit verbal updates on traffic conditions and incidents in the area. That feature is intended to reduce distracted driving, Rahnama said.

Passengers will have access to more features, including traffic cameras.

Public consultations coming for Energy East Pipeline, Chiarelli says Joe Lofaro

News - Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli announced on Nov. 13 at an Ottawa press conference that Ontarians will get to have their say on the proposed Energy East Pipeline.

TransCanada announced the pipeline project in August. If approved, Energy East would transport more

munity concerns, including those of First Nations communities, in a report that will go to the Ontario Energy Board.

The OEB will then submit a report to the NEB. No date has been set for when the consultation process will begin, but Chiarelli hinted it will be in the coming months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want this engagement with the Ontario Energy Board to inform our intervention,â&#x20AC;? said Chiarelli. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So how much control do we have? It will have to be public sua-

than one million barrels of Alberta oil through Ontario to Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s east coast.

The project needs to be approved by the National Energy Board (NEB) to go ahead. If it gets the NEBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approval, about 2,000 kilometres of pipeline would be built in Ontario, including underneath the Rideau River.

Lowertown truck tunnel study in the pipes City to ask ministry to help pay to study underground truck route Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - A study of a tunnel for heavy trucks under the city’s downtown is no longer a pipe dream, says Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury.

After months of discussions with the provincial Ministry of Transportation, Fleury will ask the city’s

transportation committee and council to formally request that the province partner on the study to bury the truck route.

And he expects the province to say “yes.”

“It’s going to come very quickly,” Fleury said. “Now that it’s going to be in the (transportation master plan), we have a good plan.”

Fleury’s motion would have the city formally ask the province to partner and help pay for a feasibility assessment for a tunnel from Highway 417 to the MacDonald-Cartier Bridge. Fleury said the study could cost around $750,000, which would be shared between the city and province if Ontario agrees to it.

Once that motion is adopted, it would mean the city has a plan in place for how it wants to tackle the truck issue. That will give the idea the weight it needs for the province to consider it, Fleury said.

The motion was still on the table

to be considered by transportation committee when this newspaper went to press.

But Fleury said councillors, staff and the mayor’s office are on board.

The tunnel is an alternate solution to get trucks out of the downtown, following the provincial government’s decision to scrap plans for a new, east-end bridge to Quebec that could have eased the number of trucks going through the downtown.

Approximately 2,500 trucks travel through Lowertown on King Edward Avenue on a typical weekday and that number is expected to increase by one

or two per cent each year. The truck route through the city takes them onto Waller and Rideau streets as well.

In the past, the possibility of a tunnel was excluded from interprovincial transportation studies due to “technical and operational” reasons, including the expense of digging a tunnel through a densely developed area.

The more recent effort to study a route for a new interprovincial bridge dragged on for six years and spent $7 million before the province indicated it didn’t support any of the three proposed routes. The National Capital Commission subsequently stopped the study shortly thereafter back in June.

At the time, Fleury said the NCC stepping back bolstered the transportation ministry’s responsibility to address the issue.

“It puts the pressure back onto the MTO and the province,” he said at the time. “It’s clear now that the MTO needs to find a way to connect the 417 to the 400-series highway on the Quebec side, which is the 50.”

In June, Fleury said he saw a “political willingness” to address the truck issue since the province flatly rejected a bridge.

As far as the NCC’s role in solving the truck issue in the future, In June Fleury said “we’ll see.”

At the time, NCC chairman Russel Mills was not receptive to discussing the possibility of a tunnel to get trucks out of Ottawa’s core.

“Unfortunately, there is no solution to the truck problem without a bridge,” Mills said. “To us now, it is unacceptable.”

Wreath brought a bit of joy for Mother

W

here Mother got the idea, no one knew.

It certainly wasn’t from Aunt Bertha on the next farm. She was far too practical to do something that took a lot of time and really didn’t amount to a hill of beans when it came to keeping food on the table.

No, my sister Audrey said it was probably something she picked up when she lived in New York.

Father of course, said he never heard of anything so crazy in his whole life.

Fall had settled in and with the blasts of cold winter already closing in around us -- although snow yet to come -- Mother decided she would do something to keep the season alive as long as she could. The lawn at the side of the house still had plenty of fallen maple leaves on the ground and Mother thought it would give a nice touch to the table at meal times if she could just bring a bit of those rich fall colours indoors. She was going to wax the leaves and place them on a lace doily all around the spoon holder and the sugar bowl.

A small honey pail held all the pieces of wax that came off the top of the preserve and pickle jars once they were opened and Mother would use it instead of buying a whole box of wax at Briscoe’s General Store.

That alone should have impressed Father, but it did nothing of the sort. He still thought waxing leaves was right up there with trying to nurse geraniums through the Friends of the Central Experimental winter once they had lost Farm their bloom, which Mother was prone to do, but she paid him no heed.

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories It was on a Saturday, a cold fall day, when she sent Audrey and me out to the yard. We were to bring in only those leaves which were perfectly formed, didn’t have a break in them, or a mark on them and were to be the largest and reddest we could find.

We shoved the fallen leaves around the ground with the toes of our boots and ever so carefully gathered those we thought were exactly what Mother had asked for.

She had given us a breadbasket to bring them in and she told us over and over again to handle them very carefully, laying one on top of the other so they wouldn’t break.

While Audrey and I were out in the yard picking through the leaves, which by that time in the fall were wet and soggy, Mother was in the kitchen melting the wax from the tops of the opened pickle and preserves jars on the Findlay Oval.

She had spread out pages of the Renfrew Mercury on the bake table and Audrey and I were told to very, very carefully, lay out the leaves, making sure they were placed gently on a tea towel.

Mother, as carefully as she would wipe a baby’s bottom, dabbed the leaves with a tea towel. She brought the pot over to the bake table and, picking up a leaf at a time by

its stem, dipped it carefully into the melted wax. The leaf was then put onto yet another tea towel where Mother said anyone who touched it would do so at their own peril!

Father came in for his supper, glanced at the waxed leaves, shook his head and headed for the wash basin.

Not a word was mentioned about the waxed leaves over supper. But Mother rushed us through ‘redding’ up the kitchen that night and had Audrey wipe the red-checkered oilcloth twice to make sure it was good and dry.

She then carefully, making a circle around the sugar bowl and spoon holder, laid out the waxed leaves. She overlapped them and Audrey and I thought we had the cleverest mother in all of Renfrew County. With the simple placing of waxed leaves, Mother had turned our plain old table into something grand.

Father complained there was no place to put the coal oil lamp.

Mother settled that by pulling down the Coleman lamp that hung over the table and was used only when we had company, as the fragile wicks cost a whole dime at Briscoe’s General Store.

Of course any wax that Amis de la Ferme expérimentale centrale was left over was put aside to set and then cut into blocks and again stored in the little honey pail to use when Moth-

er again put down preserves and pickles Nothing was wasted.

Audrey and I thought the leaf display was lovely and it stayed on the table for the whole week.

Audrey said it was the steady throbbing heat of the Findlay Oval, Father said they had just died a natural death, but by the next Saturday, the leaves had started to curl and

after Emerson dropped several spoons from the spoon holder, he said accidently, the leaves started to look the worst for wear.

It was with great reluctance the next Saturday morning, what was left of the leaves was gathered up and tossed into the cook stove. Father said it was time. After all, that night it was our turn to host the Saturday night house

party and the old pine table was needed for euchre.

A red geranium, which had seen better days, took the place of the wreath of wax leaves. It and the waxed leaves was Mother’s way of trying desperately to bring a bit of cheer to an old log house that for generations had known nothing more than a life lived in the simplest of ways.

News - A 120-year-old home at Manotick’s busiest intersection will be afforded some heritage protection.

The home at 5514 won’t be designated as a heritage building, but that could come in the future because the city’s built heritage subcommittee agreed to add it to the heritage register.

The home is for sale, and if the new owners wanted to demolish it, they would have to wait 60 days while the city determines if the building should be designated as heritage.

“It’s a way to protect the home without going though the whole designation process,” said Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt.

The protection would only apply if the owners wanted to completely demolish the home. It wouldn’t prevent major renovations or a conversion of the existing building, although Moffatt said that is rare in Manotick. The home is zoned for mixed-use development, meaning the property could have a variety of residential and commercial uses.

The councillor said he undertook the process of adding the home to the heritage register without informing the homeowners about the potential for restrictions.

“The homeowner has no idea (of) what I did,” he said. “I really don’t care. I care more about the village than the ability to make a profit at the corner of Bridge and Main.”

Moffatt said he would hope anyone that purchases the property would do so because they appreciate the heritage quality of the home and the area.

There could be more additions of Manotick buildings to the heritage register in the near future, Moffatt said. As part of the community design process for Manotick, the councillor said a public advisory group will identify other buildings in the village that could be protected in a similar way.

Korea, the forgotten war Probus club hosts talk on conflict Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - The Korean War was forgotten almost while it was going on, said Carleton University historian Andrew Burtch.

In the 60th year after the armistice that ended the conflict, Burtch said it’s important to remember the war that cost 516 Canadian lives, making it the third deadliest in our country’s history.

“More than 26,000 Canadian soldiers served in that war, but they didn’t come home to fanfare and parades,” he said.

Burtch spoke to the Probus Club of Western Ottawa on Nov. 12 at the Kanata United Church.

Burtch said the circumstances at the end of the Second World War provided the fodder for the conflict, not unlike the situation in east and west Berlin.

Jennifer McIntosh/Metroland

Andrew Burtch of Carleton University talks to members of the Probus Club of Western Ottawa about the Korean War on Nov. 12.

“We had the communist regimes of China and the Soviet Union in charge of the northern part of Korea and the U.S. capitalist mentality in the south.

War broke out when North Korean forces crossed the 38th parallel into South Korea on

June 25, 1950.

The South Koreans were unprepared for the assault and were pushed all the way to the Pusan peninsula before UN forces joined the fray to keep the North Koreans at bay.

Important to remember contributions of soldiers Continued from page 44

Burtch said because Canada was focused on rebuilding the economy with the soldiers returning from Europe, it was harder to man the missions to Korea.

“You got a lot of people

who re-enlisted because they had trouble readjusting to civilian life or people who had wanted to join up in the Second World War but were too young,” he said.

A new Canadian battalion joined the fight in August 1950, but had to train for an

additional eight weeks to deal with the mountainous terrain.

Burtch said most of the fighting took place at night and guerilla warfare was common.

“The Chinese army was very well trained in these tactics,” he said.

Eight Canadian destroyers were sent to Korea’s coast, but they were regularly under fire and their targets tough to hit because the ships mostly engaged in shore bombardments.

The conflict officially ended in July 1953, but involved

thousands of meetings between the Chinese and UN officials. Burtch said one of the sticking points was what to do with prisoners of war.

“There were a lot of people from the North who would have faced punishment if they were repatriated, so eventu-

ally everyone agreed to let the prisoners decide if they wanted to return there or stay in the South,” Burtch said.

Burtch, who has a doctorate in Canadian history, helped to set up the Korean War exhibit at the Canadian War Museum.

“It really is the forgotten war, but I think it’s important to remember the contributions that were made by those in service,” he said.

Hunters push for return of spring bear hunt vided benefits to society and reduced costs associated with problem bears,” says the OFAH in a news release last week.

“It was an excellent example of science based wildlife management where the benefits from a renewable natural resource were being maximized and the costs to people and society were minimized.

“In 2005, the Legislature unanimously passed a motion on nuisance bears in recognition of the fact that human/bear interactions were occurring, and that the province needed to take action to address that threat to public safety,” said Lombardo. “Unfortunately nothing of consequence came as a result of that motion and we find ourselves in the same situation today.”

The OFAH is supporting in principle the recent

introduction of Bill 114

by Thunder Bay-Atikokan Liberal MP Bill Mauro, which would see a spring

bear hunt returned to Ontario.

“Passage of that bill will finally provide a solu-

tion to a problem that no amount of further study will achieve,” says the OFAH.

Community – Don’t study the nuisance bear problem to death, just bring back the spring bear hunt, says the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH).

The OFAH has expressed disappointment that a motion to address problem bears by Timiskaming-Cochrane MPP John Vanthof was approved by the Ontario Legislature on Oct. 31.

“What we need is action in the form of a return of a spring bear season to properly manage bear populations, not another committee to waste time and money repeating what has already been done,” said OFAH executive director Angelo Lombardo.

The association maintains that Ontario’s spring bear hunt helped reduce dangerous encounters between people and bears.

Kurt Browning still has jump in his step World champion encourages Nepean figure skaters Nevil Hunt

nevil.hunt@metroland.com

Sports - Kurt Browning spins, swirls and then stops on a dime.

At 47, the four-time world figure skating champion still cuts a dapper figure on the ice.

Browning was at the Nepean Sportsplex on Nov. 13 for a full day of onice instruction hosted by the Nepean Skating Club.

During a break, he said he misses some of the jumps he used to complete and listens closely to how his body feels before hitting the ice.

“It’s still a love affair (with skating),” Browning said. “It still feels like we’re dating.”

Browning has two sons, ages six

and 10, but he’s not sure if they’ll follow in their father’s precise footsteps.

“The 10-year-old (Gabriel) likes to teach and the six-year-old (Dillon) might be a skater,” he said.

Having Browning in the Sportsplex was an obvious thrill for some of the parents who watched their kids learning from a champion, but the young skaters know Browning too.

They have seen his work on CBC’s Battle of the Blades and during his appearances in ice shows, which continue to this day with Stars on Ice. All of Browning’s greatest performances are also just a mouse click away.

“They know me from YouTube,” Browning said of the young skaters on the Sportsplex ice.

Recently, Browning was also the focus of an episode of Walk the Walk, a TV series which follows people who have been inducted into the Canadian Walk of Fame.

He helped Schalke lead the way in Germany in the early 2000s, when the country faced a youth development crisis.

THE BEAUTIFUL “SIENNA” As you can see I am a kitten of 6 months old, a beautiful, brilliant calico baby... but already at this tender age had a lot to suffer. I was just dumped in Limerick forest far away from any food and shelter to die... Luckily some one found me and brought me to the sanctuary. Now I am getting fed, loved... all my needs are taken care of and I feel so good... started playing like a kitten should... give cuddles and I am happy... I only have one wish left... to have my own family, my own bed and my very own lap to enjoy. Would you be that caring person to share our lives together?

The West Ottawa Soccer Club has signed Erik Stoffelshaus as its new technical director. to make it one of the foremost player development organizations in Canada and beyond.

Guiding young footballers on their journey towards becoming the very best they can be continues to be my main passion and considering WOSC’s ambitious vision I feel I have come to the perfect place.”

The new technical director is a strong believer in teamwork on and off the pitch and will head up a WOSC technical staff that includes Canada Soccer icon and Ottawa hometown heroine Kristina Kiss, who has earned 75 caps for her country and former Celtic Glasgow and Dundee United ace David Hannah.

“Having somebody like Kristina Kiss in the fold is an unbelievable asset for the club and it is a privilege for me to work with and learn from somebody, who embodies the pathway from the Grassroots all the way to the World Cup,” he said.

“Joining forces with David Hannah, as a successful former professional player will enable our team to amplify

its ability to take the quality of our Club’s player development efforts to new spheres,” he added.

The club’s CEO Bjorn Osieck was delighted with the appointment.

“To be able to bring somebody of Erik’s football experience and pedigree into the organization marks a quantum leap for our club,” he stated.

“He personifies deep theoretical football knowledge with extensive practical application experience and has been there and done that at the top Bundesliga and even Champions’ League levels.”

Sometimes it takes a little inspiration to create a new and wonderful look to your same old same old holiday décor. Vanessa Bishop, Owner of Flowers Inspire knows the secret to any home décor dilemma lies in the inspirational powers of floral design. “I have noticed thru the years how people get excited around flowers.

It can change their mood and change the ambiance of a room. I learned over time that Flowers Inspire. And it is now the name of my business,” says Vanessa.

Flowers Inspire is the brainchild of Vanessa who knew she wanted to work with flowers but did not want to open up a standard florist shop. Instead she looked to her three loves: flowers, hostessing and teaching and came up with a unique idea for a DIY floral studio where people could come to enjoy classes, events and even kids’ birthday parties all revolving around the creativity and soothing effects of floral arrangements. “People find that

if they follow the simple guidelines they learn to create something beautiful,” says Vanessa.

It’s never too late to get healthy, Aries. Find time for some exercise and replace some calorie-laden foods with fruits and vegetables. You will appreciate having an extra hop in your step.

Taurus, a week of passion and romance awaits you and your special someone. Everything you do draws the attention of others. So make it work to your advantage.

Gemini, it can be challenging to get your head wrapped around certain tasks. Somehow you will manage to pull everything together and get everything accomplished.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Cancer, maintain your focus in the coming week no matter how difficult that proves to be. Personal concerns may have you reeling, but your heightened focus will serve you well.

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue

Leo, you may have something on your mind, but now is not the time to share such concerns. Do your best to solve a problem on your own, but rely on the advice of others if need be.

Virgo, do your best to avoid being let down by the negative attitudes of others. Friends or coworkers may just be in a bad mood, but that does not mean you need to be.

Libra, a little extra concentration will find you tackling your workload with time to spare. Commit your time now and enjoy the time to take things slow later in the week.

Scorpio, signficant changes are afoot and you are not quite sure how to prioritize your goals. Enjoy the change, but make use of down time to reestablish your priorities.

Sagittarius, though a pressing issue in your relationship may seem like it needs immediate attention, you have a lot of time to work through any issues.

Capricorn, your normally conservative approach won’t work this week.

You have to take a couple of chances, or you won’t accomplish much of anything.

Aquarius, you have only a few days to learn some new procedures at work. It is natural to feel nervous, but put aside those feelings and concentrate on the tasks at hand.

Pisces, don’t worry too much about an upcoming change around the office. You’re in position to benefit from some restructuring.
