Community rallies around family of 10-year-old girl battling cancer Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Friends and neighbours are fundraising to support the family of a 10-year-old Glen Cairn girl battling cancer. Paytan McEwan was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia on Sept. 16. Since then, her mother, Keri McEwan, has been forced to take an unpaid leave from work to care for Paytan while she is receiving chemo-

therapy and other cancer treatments. The community, John Young Elementary School and McEwan’s boyfriend, Mike Marath, have stepped up to make sure Paytan’s eight-year-old sister, Hailey, is provided for and can still attend school. More than that, the community, led by McEwan’s neighbour Brandy Jetten and Christine Fotherby, an educational assistant at John Young, is working to raise money to support the family through their time of need.

DIAGNOSIS

McEwan brought Paytan to Almonte General Hospital on Sept. 16, certain something was wrong with her daughter. Paytan, normally a very athletic, energetic child, had been complaining of a pain in her side and a lack of appetite, said McEwan. Bruises appeared that wouldn’t go away, she became lethargic and pasty, and developed a fever.

Councillor Hubley cooking up community sugar bush Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

A stand of sugar maple trees in Monahan Landing south of Bridlewood could be the area’s gateway to fresh, free syrup. Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley is planning to provide the community with all the supplies and knowledge they need to run their own sugar bush. After raising $200,000 from a combination of development charges and local support from the community and Glenview Homes, Hubley said he hopes to have trees tapped by 2016. If funding and supplies are found quicker, there could be a test tapping as early as this spring, he said. The sugar bush is an idea Hub-

ley floated to residents during his door-knocking campaign from the October municipal election, gaining nothing but positive reactions, he said. The opportunity for a sugar bush presented itself after a city forester did an inventory of the trees between Summitview Dr. and Meadowbreeze Dr., finding 150 fully grown sugar maples. After giving the green light to the Monahan Landing site plan, the city had protected the trees and declared the location parkland. The discovery of the sugar maples prompted Hubley to inquire what it would take to make a sugar bush. The $200,000 investment would pay for equipment and building a shack to store the equipment, said Hubley. The sugar bush could then be run by interested community

members during the tree tapping season in March, with Hubley envisioning pancake breakfasts and other community events taking root to consume the traditional breakfast topping. Raising the money should not be a problem, said Hubley, who also anticipates volunteers won’t be hard to find. “Kanata South has an excellent reputation in the city as one of the areas with the most volunteers and community-minded people, so I don’t foresee that being a problem at all,” he said. The sugar bush would likely have to rely on the Bridlewood Community Association to run it, at least until Monahan Landing starts its own community group, said Hubley. See SUGAR BUSH, page 4

Metal pails collect sugar maple sap at an urban sugar bush in Vanier. Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley hopes to start up a similar operation in Monahan Landing where 150 full growth sugar maples could produce maple syrup with help from local volunteers.

Sugar bush plan not yet presented to residents at large Continued from page 3

The idea is only starting to get out into the community, said the Bridlewood Community Association’s president, Margaret Kellaway. Though Hubley has spoken with the association, the plan remains unclear, she said. Still, she feels the community has an appetite for the idea. “I think that our community has spoken out before that they

are very interested in the environment,� she said. “To have a hand in making maple syrup, a very natural food, I can see it being something of interest for all ages,� said Kellaway. The potential for educating school children on the process is also exciting, she said. Still, Kellaway said she eagerly awaits more information from Hubley so that the plan can be presented to the community.

Hubley, who used to work on a family member’s sugar bush as a kid, said having one in Kanata South would be “a trip down memory lane for me,� adding that it will give a taste of the country life to residents. “I’m working towards having a fun community activity so that people living in the suburbs are going to get some exposure to what rural life is like where you actually go and make your own food,� he said.

‘To have people helping like this is, it’s incredible’ Continued from page 1

At first, McEwan said she thought, “Yeah, she is a kid, this happens.” But she didn’t get better. When they arrived at the hospital, Paytan had a temperature of 105.3 F. After numerous blood tests, McEwan was told she had to take her daughter to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. At 2 a.m., hours after first arriving at CHEO, McEwan was given the diagnosis. “Basically the entire oncology department came in and said, ‘Your daughter has leukemia,’” she said. “That was a big blow.” COMPLICATIONS

The type of cancer that Paytan has, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, is the most common in children, affecting the blood and bone marrow. Treatment typically results in a good chance of a cure, and McEwan said doctors are positive about Paytan’s chances of surviving and getting rid of the cancer over her threeyear treatment plan. So far, the problem has been complications, said McEwan. That includes bowel ruptures, blood infections, bacterial infections in her liver, spleen, kidneys and part of her right lung, as well as discovering an existing heart condition that causes Paytan’s heart to beat abnormally, and sometimes beat far too fast in response to stress and drugs.

“At this point, all we are looking at is trying to get through the side effects of what’s happening,” said McEwan. In the meantime, the family’s bills continue to mount, especially with McEwan unable to work.

John Young Elementary, has also held fundraisers, with youth worker Christine Fotherby leading the charge with a bake sale that raised $1,700 and a silent auction.

COMMUNITY HELP

The experience has been a nightmare for the small family, who are not strangers to the terrible effects a disease can have. A few years ago, McEwan lost her husband to Type 1 diabetes.Hailey, who remembers her father going to the hospital and never coming back, is worried she will lose her sister, too. But the support from the community is being felt, and is very much appreciated, said McEwan. “With my husband … we lived in Kingston and I worked three or four jobs to try and fix him,” she said. “So to have people helping like this is just, it’s incredible, absolutely incredible.” To make a donation to the McEwans, go to www.youcaring. com/help-a-neighbor/pulling-forpaytan/256347 or go to the group’s Facebook page at www.facebook. com/groups/724151470972039. For tickets to the dance in support of Paytan, or for raffle tickets, contact Jetten at brandyjetten@ yahoo.ca.

That’s where Brandy Jetten, a neighbour of McEwan’s, stepped in. After hearing about Paytan’s diagnosis, Jetten brought together some neighbours and collected presents for Paytan, but after realizing just what the family was going through, Jetten realized they needed much more help. “(Giving the gift basket to Paytan) felt almost like an open gesture,” said Jetten. “It just didn’t feel like enough.” Jetten went about creating a Facebook page for people to keep upto-date on how Paytan is doing, and organize fundraisers and support for the family. Finding that friends and family of the Facebook group from outside of Canada also wanted to contribute, Jetten started a You Caring website page to collect money. Since then, Jetten and her group have been selling raffle tickets for an Ottawa Senators game in December, and hope to raise $3,500 from it, and there is also a dance scheduled for Dec. 6, hosted by the Kanata Sports Club, in support of Paytan and her family.

Ottawa & Area - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away altogether.

Museum getting short changed

M

any people across the city might have been a bit surprised to learn that as the result of a significant mould problem, the Canadian Museum of Science and Technology will receive an $80.5million makeover. Surprised not because the museum doesn’t need the renovation, but because of the other opportunities the federal government appears to have passed on as a result. This announcement comes only months after the National Capital Commission called for proposals to fulfill its latest vision for LeBreton Flats, the much-neglected brownfield just west of downtown. Those plans called for “an anchor institution or an attraction� for the area, something around which the rest of LeBreton could be developed.

What better to serve as an anchor than a brand new, iconic science and tech museum? Sure the Canadian War Museum is already there, but wouldn’t that serve to make LeBreton even more of “an attraction�? Such an argument might be obvious to those of us who live in Ottawa, but perhaps that’s part of the problem. Mere residents of the capital have a vested interest in this city – it is our home and our community. Yet, by and large, those who hold sway over decisions affecting the capital, the members of the Conservative government, have shown little interest in investing significant sums of money here. The science and technology museum joins the likes of the portrait gallery in a long line of projects that have either been moved out of Ot-

tawa or given short shrift since 2006. These are things people living in Ottawa should be concerned about. Ottawa West-Nepean MP John Baird, who is responsible for the NCC, said he didn’t want to see Band-Aid solutions for fixing the museum, but also worried about taxpayers and “reasonable and responsible� conclusions. Is that to say that Canadians don’t deserve a capital they can be proud of? Perhaps Canadians do simply think of Ottawa as a hive of bureaucratic drones, and nothing worth paying much mind, but that would be an insult to proud Canadians. Ottawa, as capital of a G7 country, deserves iconic buildings. If the Conservatives aren’t willing to dream that way, perhaps Ottawans need to think hard before casting their ballots in the federal election next fall.

Time to start breaking the mould in Ottawa

E

very cloud has a silver lining and there can even be something said in favour of a little mould. That would be the mould in the walls of the Canada Science and Technology Museum. It’s created an opportunity to do something positive with the museum. Unfortunately it appears that the opportunity is not being taken. The museum, shut down because of air contamination caused by the mould, is in the process of being refurbished. It was announced last week by the federal government that funding has been found to renovate and modernize the museum, the work to be completed in summer or fall of 2017. The problem is that the renovated

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town and modernized museum will be in the same location, in a light-industrial area off St. Laurent Boulevard. Could there be a worse location? It’s hard to think of one. The area is full of traffic and pedestrianunfriendly in the extreme. There are no other attractions around. You get in your car and drive there, then get in your car and drive back. Meanwhile, a much better location is sitting there, more or less empty, at LeBreton Flats. While

it is encouraging to see that the National Capital Commission has recently become more engaged with creating something – anything! – on the Flats, the fact remains that right now it contains the Canadian War Museum, a condo or two and a lot of empty space. Yet, as has been said so many times by so many people, the area could be great. The space is there, the river is there, the transit is there, the location is close to downtown and easily accessible from the suburbs. Would-be city planners have been drooling for decades over the possibilities. The riverside could be opened up for restaurants and cafÊs. Parkland could be retained. Sports facilities could be located there.

And museums. There is no reason why Ottawa could not attempt a modest version of what Washington does with its Mall – a lengthy treed avenue right downtown that contains more than a dozen museums, including the Smithsonian, as well as national monuments. The area buzzes with tourists and residents, walking from one attraction to the next. It should not be beyond us to create such a space in Canada’s capital, a space where Canadians can become better acquainted with their country, where visitors can learn about it, where children can discover and marvel. Having several museums all in one area would also make it possible for restaurants and coffee shops to flourish, and the combination would create the lively LeBreton Flats for which Ottawans have been longing for half a century. The Canadian War Museum is a

glorious start. The Science and Technology Museum would add a second, exciting dimension, bringing more people to the Flats. And here’s a crazy thought: the Portrait Gallery could even rise again.

Creating traditions of charity

W

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse about Christmas. The kids all of a sudden think they “need” all kinds of things that I’ve never heard them speak of before – things like gloves with finger holes and a punching bag. We try very hard to get them at least one small thing on their everlonger wish lists, but above that, we’ve tried to create a new Christmas tradition – charity. For our kids, charity doesn’t have to be about spending money. Last year, a group of us got together with some neighbours to sing Christmas Carols on Dec. 23. I hinted to the kids perhaps we could take up a

collection for an organization in need. They decided on the Ottawa Food Bank. They printed out labels, made up the box and off we went. An hour and 20 houses later, we had raised $150 for the organization, despite our sketchy voices. On Christmas Day, we did something really different. My eldest son and I volunteered with St. Peter and St. Paul’s Anglican Church’s feeding of 300-plus, held at Knox Presbyterian Church on Christmas. We passed several hours on the afternoon of Dec. 25, first clearing plates and serving juice, and then sing-

R0012989197_1106

ith less than a month until Christmas, I’m freaking out a bit. I’ve written before about my allergy to malls. There’s also something deep inside me that rejects the commercialization of Christmas. I’ve become pretty good at managing my children’s expectations. They all believe in Santa Claus, but they know Santa only brings gifts that fit into a stocking. They also know Santa has to give toys to all the kids in the world, and that some kids have greater needs than their “Nintendo 3DS” request. We also encourage the children to make gifts for us, their teachers and for each other to encourage them to put some thought into their presents and also to avert their desire to buy cheap, plastic junk with their pocket money. Still, there’s something

ing Christmas carols. It changed my perspective, but my son was most profoundly influenced. “Mom,” he said on our way home, “I feel sad that we have a nice warm house and another turkey dinner at home, but the people who ate supper at the church maybe don’t have anywhere to go for Christmas.” As much as those two experiences worked out well, charity can be one of those things that’s hard to teach children, say communications experts Jennifer L. Jacobson and Gretchen Barry. The women, who do marketing for charities and non-profit organizations, have some ideas. They offer

tips on how to make charity a bigger part of your children’s experiences. First, find out what’s important to your children. Where do they see need and how would they like to help? The authors suggest making a game plan for how to help – can you hold a charity garage sale or bake sale? Volunteer somewhere with your children? What actions can maximize your child’s participation? Incorporating giving into regular activities can make a big difference. Cleaning closets? Have a donation box ready. Show children that volunteering reaps positive rewards, even if they’re not financial. R0532496643

“Explain why you’re doing it and what you’re looking for,” the authors suggest, as a means of helping your children develop a language and a mindset toward giving. I lke our simplistic version of events – going for a family hike and chopping down a Christmas tree, praying through Advent, making cookies or jam for neighbours, and, more recently, helping out where we’re needed. We’ve got a long way to go, but I hope, as my children grow, they will maintain their charitable ways, not only as a Christmas tradition, but throughout the year.

Kanata educator recognized with Prime Minister’s Award Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

As an early childhood educator, Meagan Bell says one of her joys of teaching comes from connecting her young pupils with nature and their community. “I’m learning all the time. Five year olds – their imaginations are just exploding, so I really enjoy the projects that we do together,” said Bell, who has worked for the past six years at the Kanata Research Park Family Centre, a non-profit early learning centre located at 100 Helmsdale Dr. in north Kanata. Bell and 18 other educators

were recognized last month with a 2014 Prime Minister’s Award for Excellence in Early Childhood Education. The award is considered a top honour for early childhood educators in Canada. “It’s very flattering,” said the Nepean resident who received a certificate of achievement signed by Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Bell, who currently works with four and five year olds at the centre, spearheaded the development of a new community garden earlier this year that was made possible with support from the city’s Growing Up Organic gardenand farm-based educational

program, which helped set up the garden and delivered educational workshops to the children. Funding was also provided by the Evergreen Foundation. “When (the children are) really, really engaged in something and they have those moments when you know something has clicked for them, like they’ve just understood something for the first time, that to me is a very special moment to share with a child,” said Bell. This summer, the youngsters helped harvest herbs and vegetables from the garden, some of which were

donated to the Kanata Food Cupboard. “That opportunity in itself has given us opportunities to talk about environmental sustainability, and ecosystems and how things grow, healthy eating, healthy living,” she said. “So even that one experience has obviously so many different learning outcomes.” Providing young children with the chance to connect to nature and their community is a guiding principal of the Kanata Research Park Family Centre. “We’re very lucky where we are. We have so much green space,” said Bell. Children at the centre have

also learned through tapping maple trees for syrup and watching chicks hatch in an incubator, two of several projects that offer important ongoing lessons, she said. In the winter, the children have helped build snow kingdoms with slides, as well as winter forts with used Christmas trees. The ideas Bell and the other educators develop are often inspired by the children themselves, and the programs that emerge are tailor-made to their developmental needs. The centre has also partnered with a Chartwell retirement residence over the years where the children have

regularly visited the seniors to learn and sing songs with them and enjoy reading time. “About two years ago, one of the seniors who was reading that day came up and said, ‘Thank you so much. I haven’t had the chance to be with children and read with children in a very long time,’” Bell recalled. “It meant a lot to her. She had been a teacher herself when she was young.” It was also very moving for Bell. “That’s why we’re doing it,” she said. “To have those connections with them and the children makes it really worthwhile.”

Church hopes new building will boost attendance numbers Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

The Bridge - Kanata Wesleyan Church is hoping to get a boost to the size of its congregation once plans for a children’s building connected to the existing church comes to fruition. The church is asking the city to amend its site plan to allow for the new building, which would be the first portion of a multi-phase project that would see two new buildings at their location at 285 Didsbury Rd. in approximately the next seven years. The construction plans have been in the works for the past several years, delayed by fundraising

efforts and work on utilities and the church’s access road, said the Bridge’s senior pastor, Allan Summers. “We believe it will help us to grow,� said Summers. The church currently has a congregation of about 400 people, he said, and that has been the case for at least five years. Not being able to provide a great space for their members’ children has been a limiting factor, said Summers. The proposed building will solve that, replacing portables that have been used as a kids’ space for more than 12 years.

The Bridge - Kanata Wesleyan Church hopes to expand its membership by providing a building specifically for kids, centre, attached to the church, located at 285 Didsbury Rd.

Children’s wing awaiting city approval and Taggart work Continued from page 11 “Parents don’t feel secure with being in one building and their children being in a separate building that is not connected, and so we are missing an opportunity to care for some of the families in this area that have that concern,” said Summers. “We want to eliminate that.” The plans for the new building, which will be connected to the existing church by an enclosed hallway, are for a one-storey, 410-squaremetre children’s wing that will include a nursery, toddlers’ room and rooms for students up to Grade 6. There will also be a café across the hall for parents to be close by, said Summers. “There is really good security,” he added. “You can’t get in unless you are a parent, so as we go forward in society with all the uncertainties

that there are, and family concerns for the safety of their children, this is a real advantage.” This first phase of construction is expected to cost $2.5 million, and the church has raised a little more than $1 million from its membership, said Summers. “We are hoping to begin (construction) in the spring,” he said. “We have done everything that we can to do that,” though the church is relying on Taggart Realty Management to bring utilities servicing up to their property by April, as the company is developing the surrounding area. Taggart’s vice president of development, Jeff Parkes, confirmed that the company plans to have servicing ready for the church by spring. Provided the city approves the proposal, Summers said he hopes the new building

will be ready by Christmas of 2015. The church’s next construction project, which would be under way a few years after paying off this first building, would be for a gymnasium/auditorium, providing more room for children, as well as a meeting space for the community and for events. While renting the space could bring in some money for the church, Summers said that is not the main goal. “We think the church should serve the community,” he said. “We are looking to be a place that the community can use.” Comments on the church’s site plan amendment proposal can be made to city planner Patrician McCann-MacMillan at 613-580-2424, ext. 13799 or by email at patricia. mccann-macmillan@ottawa. ca by Dec. 18.

David Gourlay recieves Order of Ottawa

Kanata resident David Gourlay receives his Order of Ottawa medal at a ceremony at city hall from Mayor Jim Watson and Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson on Nov. 20. The medal is a prestigious civic award honouring Ottawa’s most accomplished residents. Gourlay led efforts for the return of a CAN-AM professional baseball team in Ottawa, selling more than 3,000 season-ticket deposits to business investors and fans. With his leadership the City of Ottawa will welcome the Ottawa Champions Baseball Club to the Ottawa Stadium in 2015. Gourlay is also president of the Miracle League of Ottawa, a not-for-profit group whose goal is to build the first ever in Canada purpose-built baseball field, playground and recreation hub for children with special needs in Ottawa. He has secured close to $1M in funding from the city of Ottawa, community organizations and corporate and foundation sponsors, with construction planned to begin in OrlÊans in the spring of 2015. Fifteen residents received the award at the gala.

Ottawa sees Christmas shoebox donation boom Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

A hard working sort of Christmas cheer was permeating a room in the Kanata Baptist Church as volunteers collected and stacked hundreds of boxes filled with gifts for less fortunate families across the globe on Nov. 21. As in previous years, the church served as the hub for Christmas shoebox collecting for many west end Ottawa communities. The annual endeavour, part of the Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child program, saw donations streaming in from across Kanata and across Ottawa, said organizer Cheryl Nugent. Schools from Kanata and Stittsville, businesses, Girl Guide groups, and many individuals contributed to this year’s 4,732 boxes for the Kanata collection centre, and 7,692 total including donations from Carleton Place and Arnprior. That is a 13 per cent in-

crease from last year’s total, said Nugent. “We are thrilled with the generosity of the community,� she said. The shoebox collection program has individuals fill small boxes full of toys, hygiene items and school supplies specifically for girls or boys in a particular age range. The boxes are collected from about 10 countries, and sent to more than 100 countries with children in need, said Nugent. Having volunteered for the project for the past three years, Nugent said she remains passionate about what a small box of presents can do. “Let’s face it, a shoebox of presents is not going to change a kid’s life,� she said. But, for a child that has lost everything they have in a natural disaster or had to flee their home, “just getting a gift from somebody when they have nothing, it gives them hope and love.� Another reason for her enthusiasm is the project’s capacity to bring various people

together, she said. “It’s not just a church thing,� said Nugent. Though Samaritan’s Purse is a Christian organization, anyone can donate, and many do. One mother and daughter pair from Wakefield collects hundreds of shoeboxes throughout the year, said Nugent, having so far collected about 500 boxes. This year, in addition to the many warm-weather countries that traditionally receive shoeboxes, presents will also be going to Ukraine, said Nugent. Samaritan’s Purse announced the new destination earlier this year so that doners could pack cold-weather appropriate boxes specifically for the Ukraine. After days of collecting boxes at the Kanata Baptist Church, the more than 7,000 boxes were sent to a sorting facility in the KitchenerWaterloo, Ont. area, to be checked for safety and packaged securely for their trips around the world.

Planned observatory not just about looking at the stars Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

The plan to build an observatory equipped with Canada’s most powerful telescope in the Madawaska Highlands west of Ottawa should turn heads, said the project’s founder, Frank Roy. The facility will use a combination of renewable energy technologies to become the largest off-grid commercial building in North America, he explained at a public meeting at Williams Court Kanata Lakes Apartments on Nov. 19. The observatory will be located far from regular utilities to escape the polluting light of cities and towns, allowing for better views of the stars. Its use of renewable energy will serve as an example of what can be achieved with current technology, said Michael Cowan, president of Alliance Engineering, an Ottawa company that is planning to build the observatory’s ground source heat pumps, part of its green energy strategy. “There is so much more to this project than looking at the stars,” he said. Roy began planning for the observatory in 2007 after he collaborated with a Pennsylvanian company to design a wide-angle telescope. The telescope inspired the idea for an observatory with multiple telescopes for public use and the wide-angle scope for research. Plans for the facility have it located in a dark spot in the Madawaska Highlands making

Honouring Cirillo

Laura Mueller/Metroland

The original painting titled ‘Honouring my Father’ by Upper Hunt Club artist Katerina Mertikas, second from left, was unveiled at its new home in the mayor’s boardroom on Nov. 24. Prints of the painting can be purchased for $124 through Koyman Galleries, with all profits going to a trust fund for Marcus Cirillo, the fiveyear-old son of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, who are depicted in the painting. Cirillo was killed on Oct. 22 while standing guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the National War Memorial. Also pictured, from left, are: Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri, Mertikas and her grandsons Christos and Dimitry Zigoumis, Mayor Jim Watson and Paul Hindo, honorary colonel of the Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa, Duke of Edinburgh’s Own.

Roy said he is fairly confident that the facility can be opened as early as June of 2017. But more investors in the $20-million project are needed for that to happen. Few people attended the meeting in Kanata Lakes. Bill Prahl, who lives nearby the proposed observatory site, was one of the few people who attended the Nov. 19 meeting in Kanata Lakes. He said the observatory is a good idea. adding, “I think it’s still a long ways to go yet. “You need to break ground to get investors.” Roy said he expects the observatory to be a major attraction for vacationers, students and residents across Ontario, and not just because of the powerful

telescopes and green technology. Roy said he hopes the facility will provide a unique experience with its remote, elevated location and stateof-the-art planetarium. He said the combination of attractions will perhaps provide people with the same kind of feeling he got while looking up at the night sky as a teenager. “I think everybody that has seen the night sky can appreciate the absolute amazement that the Earth is a planet and there is a lot of stars around it and we are part of the universe,” said Roy. “All these stars … they are kind of removed from us, but with these telescopes here and the facility, (people) will see that (the stars in the sky) are real as the ground or grass beneath your feet.”

The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus is counting down the days until their third-annual Christmas concert, A Garland of Carols, at St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Katimavik on Dec. 13. This year the chorus is celebrating with the hip-swinging Calypso beat of the Caribbean along with traditional carols, and Eliana Kurilov the chorus accompanist, plays the beat with passion. Brazilan-born, Kurilov is a classically trained musician with dual degrees with concentration in piano and organ, and has more than 30 years experience as a pia-

nist and organist for soloists, adult choirs and church services. In addition to being an accompanist, she has also been a children’s choir music director. Kurilov also plays for the Kanata Choral Society and teaches private piano at Ottawa School of Music. She joined the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus as the accompanist in the 2014 spring term. To conduct a choir, the director must regard each voice as an instrument in the same way an orchestra leader does. Robert Dueck, director of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus, not only delights in being

A professional music career proved challenging in the face of dealing with chronic pain syndrome and limited opportunities in Canada, so he shifted his focus and now works for a major software company in Ottawa. Acquiring a master’s degree in computer engineering meant Tropper’s oboe remained almost entirely neglected for 10 years, until he was able to re-dedicate time to it. Dueck contacted Tropper and suggested he ease back to public performance at the Christmas concert. Pleased to take this opportunity, Tropper will perform the pre-concert entertainment highlighting traditional Christmas music with the warm tones of his oboe. Another accomplished musician, Gary King, has provided guitar accompaniment at several of the chorus’ performances. He also plays trumpet but the guitar became his first choice when he took it with him to fill the off-duty hours while in the navy. His guitar playing has brought multiple opportunities ranging from public performances to lots of party singing fun.

Multi-talented he has taken opportunities to expand his creative side to include live theatre — ranging from serious to comedy to farce. He is currently in his third year of singing with the Goulbourn Male Chorus and in his 28th year with the Ottawa Choral Society and 16 years with St. Barnabus award winning Church choir. This year, several of the choir ladies step up with traditional Caribbean instruments to shake it up at this performance. Once again, Dueck has invited the Trinity Handbell Quartet to join in this is the not-to-be missed concert. Two performances will be held on Saturday, Dec. 13, starting at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 14, starting at 2:30 p.m., at St. Paul’s Anglican Church, 20 Young Rd. Tickets ($15) are available at Gaia Java Coffee Shop at 1300 Main St. in Stittsville; the Kanata Barber Shop at 2 Beaverbrook Rd. and through choir members and at the door. There are a limited number of free admission tickets available for children 12 and under. Please note: it is advisable to purchase tickets ahead of time as past performances have sold out.

RUST PROOFING

In 2012, Camille Barbeau gets some help from honorary co-chairs Chris Philips, an Ottawa Senators defenceman, and his wife Erin, with his new snowsuit. The fund, now in its 33rd year, recently raised $80,000 – making it possible to keep 2,000 children warm this winter.

Snowsuit fund gala raises $80,000 Staff

An annual fundraising gala has raised thousands of dollars to keep children warm this winter. The Annual Canadian Tire Snowsuit Fund Gala on Nov. 15 will see that more than 2,000 children will receive a winter coat this year, as the evening event raised $80,000 for the Snowsuit Fund charity. Honourary chairwoman Erin Philips, wife of Ottawa Senator defenceman Chris Philips, and Lianne Laing,

board chairwoman welcomed more than 350 guests to the ballroom event at the Fairmont Chateau Laurier. 2,000 KIDS

“We are so pleased to announce that this year’s event will keep over 2,000 children warm,” Laing said. The Snowsuit Fund is now in its 33rd year of operation and helps low-income families stay warm during winter by offering a new or slightly used winter coat and accessories for

their children 15 and younger. Another fundraising event, the Rogers Radiothon, will take place on Dec. 10. Every $40 raised can buy a snowsuit. Anyone who would like to make a donation of a snowsuit - new or used- may do so at any Ottawa area Canadian Tire store or Brown’s Cleaners. Snowsuit and cash donations may also be made at The Snowsuit Fund Depot at 225 Donald Street, Unit 134 (entrance at the back of the building through the red door).

Federal nominee David Bertschi removed from Liberal race

Marianne Wilkinson

SERVING KANATA NORTH

Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

City Councillor, Kanata North WINTER AND DRIVING The first winter storm is past but more will come soon. Are you ready with your winter tires, snow brush and scrapper and shovel in your car? I wasn’t and when I returned from a trip to Vancouver had to clear snow and ice with my gloves and credit card! Now I’m set. Remember winter overnight parking restrictions are in effect. When 7 cm or more snow is forecast (not yet actually falling), a snow advisory is made, and parking on the street from 1 to 7 am is forbidden so that snow clearing can occur. Cars left on the street in Kanata North can be ticketed or towed and your street will not be well served. The ban may last several days depending on the severity and timing of the snowfall. Avoid tickets by signing up at ottawa.ca for a free e-mail or twitter alert and you’ll be notified when a restriction starts and when it’s over.

Ottawa-Orléans Liberal nominee David Bertschi was removed from the race to run as the Liberal party representative for the riding, but he’s challenging the decision. In 2013, Bertschi ran for leadership of the federal party. He eventually dropped out, but amassed about $150,000 of debt in the process. He was earlier given approval to seek the Liberal nomination in Ottawa-Orléans. The other candidate is retired lieutenant-general Andrew Leslie, who serves as an adviser to federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau and cochair of the Liberal International Affairs Council of Advisors. REMOVED

TRAFFIC CALMING It’s hard to understand why so many residents break laws when driving – speeding, failing to stop at stop signs, not yielding the way to vehicles in a traffic circle, and even passing school buses when their lights are flashing. The few seconds you save may cause someone to have a serious accident, so slow down, watch for children walking to school, stop (not just slow down) at a stop sign and keep our community safe. Adding traffic calming measures do help, but they are costly. Signage helps a bit, as do the stakes along the centre of the road. Each year some areas are studied, the most recent being Knudson Drive where the final recommendation has now been approved by City staff and is awaiting budget funding. The plan is to provide a series of speed cushions (like low speed bumps but with breaks for the tires on buses and fire engines) along the entire length. This will make the school crossing to the path to Stephen Leacock safer, as well as slowing traffic.

KANATA FOOD CUPBOARD The Kanata Food Cupboard serves those in need in the area covered by the former City of Kanata, and they support hundreds of families every month. One major source of food and funds is from the OC Transpo annual event held at the two Loblaws stores, where food is put into OC Transpo buses. Food is also collected at Your Independent Grocery store. This year it is on December 6th. At 6 pm the loaded buses drive to the Kanata Food Cupboard warehouse (provided by the Kanata Research Park behind Mitel) where volunteers unload the buses. Every family in need has a special delivery at Christmas, which includes a Christmas Dinner, additional food and gifts for everyone in the family. These are provided by companies and groups from schools, churches, clubs and individuals who adopt a family. Each sponsor receives a list on what to provide for the dinner and suitable gifts. Provision of extra food for the following weeks is also encouraged. Other volunteers deliver them to the families. More sponsors are needed. Information on how to Adopt a Family is at www.kanatafoodcupboard.ca

Liberal party officials sent Bertschi a letter on Nov. 7 removing him from candidacy, due to concerns about his debt. In a written statement provided by Liberal party spokesperson Olivier Duchesneau, the co-chairs of the national election readiness committee informed Bertschi on Nov. 7 that he was no longer eligible to run. “New information regarding a number of areas of concern was brought to light in recent weeks,” the statement said, adding one “particular area of concern” surrounds Bertschi’s

Bertschi disagrees, and said he’s within regulations, and the decision to block him from running is “purely political.” Bertschi believes his progress to repay the debt and what he says are proper information filings with Elections Canada, should leave him clear to run for the Ottawa-Orléans seat. “I know for a fact we’re fully compliant with Elections Canada rules and requirements and the written letter of the law according to the Liberal Party of Canada,” Bertschi said. “We provided a detailed debt reduction plan that was accepted by the green light committee of the Liberal Party of Canada. “So far this year we’ve raised well over $100,000 and have six months left – until May 2015 – to get rid of the remaining debt.” Bertschi said when he ran for the party leadership, rules stated debt had no bearing at all on being a nominated candidate. However after the leadership election, new party leader Justin Trudeau created a rule that candidates who had more than $100,000 in debt from a leadership run may not be approved

to run for a riding nomination. “You have to realize the rule when I ran for leadership had no bearing at all on being a nominated candidate,” Bertschi said. “It was a retroactive rule.” Bertschi sent an open letter to supporters that said attempts to meet with the party to clarify the issue have been ignored. On Nov. 20, he said things were looking hopeful there would be discussions the week of Nov. 24. To Bertschi’s knowledge, no date has been set for the nomination meeting, so he may be able to speak with party officials prior to the formal nomination meeting. “It looks like there may be some discussions, as I was told today (Nov. 20),” he said. “There are no promises, there never is. We’ll see what happens.” Bertschi provided his comments following the Cardinal Creek Community Association meeting on Nov. 20, which he regularly attends. He has launched a petition and has asked supporters to sign it. It calls on Trudeau to reinstate an open nomination in the riding. As of press time, more than 570 people had signed the petition. Duchesneau said the Liberal party has no comment on Bertschi’s petition.

Bizarre scrum, hackings, puts new twist in ‘swatting’ saga Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

Week in Review Snow Angels I would like to thank 4 Kanata South residents for their commitment to helping their neighbors during the winter months by being a “Snow Angel”. A Snow Angel is a neighbour or friend that has volunteered to help someone who is elderly or has a disability, to clear snow from their driveway, steps or walkway. My sincere thanks to Mike Easton, Steve Nesbitt, Rick Chung and Steve McCarthy who were all recognized at last week’s Snow Angel recognition evening. Well Done! Do you know a Snow Angel who deserves recognition? If you know a resident of Ottawa who is a Snow Angel, the City of Ottawa wants to thank them! To nominate a resident for recognition as a Snow Angel, please send the relevant details (who they are helping and how) to communitypride@ottawa.ca .

The father of a Barrhaven teen charged with multiple counts of “swatting” said he believes new evidence provided by the shadowy hacker group Anonymous will help exonerate his son. Calling it “a beautiful gift,” the father briefed members of the media in a Barrhaven park on Nov. 23 about recent emails he received from someone claiming to be affiliated with Anonymous. The same person or persons also claims to be behind the recent shutdown of the City of Ottawa and Ottawa Police Service websites. The father maintains that his 16-year-old son, who was arrested in early May on 60 counts of “swatting” – the act of falsely reporting crimes to gain a SWAT team response – is being framed, an assertion shared by the Anonymous affiliate. He also claims his family has been harassed by an unknown individual since his son’s arrest, and has had his house broken into “at least twice.” Two electronic devices the father said were found and removed from his home’s lighting fixtures were brought to the Nov. 23 meeting. He claims to have found several of the devices in his home, and said he is told their appearance is consistent with surveillance devices. Throughout the media scrum, the father said he had forwarded all correspondence – both from his hacker ally and his online harasser – to Ottawa Police. He said he only learned of Friday’s city website shutdown – which was preceded by a message targeting a police officer involved in his son’s case – by

The father of a Barrhaven teen charged with 60 counts of reporting false crimes, told media on Nov. 23 that new evidence sent to him by the group Anonymous will help exonerate his son.

of the federal government and Conservative Party of Canada. The cyber-attacks will continue, the message asserts, “until the police admit their mistake, and drop all charges against the innocent youth.” The city voluntarily took its website down until Monday morning in order for staff and police to investigate exactly what happened and how to prevent it from happening in the future, said Mayor Jim Watson. “This is a serious matter because any time someone gets into a website or gets into some data – which was not the case in this particular instance – it’s a serious matter,” Watson said. The hacker or hackers apparently redirected ottawa.ca by phoning the city’s website service provider and posing as a city staffer, Watson said. Tech staff has confirmed that no data or personal information was obtained. On Monday afternoon, the city’s website again became inactive. A Twitter account, @AerithXOR, was suspended after it began posting information about the officer involved in the case, claiming to have proof that the officer “manufactured evidence” in the case.

Later, a new Twitter account - @AerithTOR – rose from the ashes of the old one, only to be suspended. Following that, the account @AerithXOR2 was created, picking up where the others left off. The father claims that inconsistencies exist in his son’s case that police won’t investigate, such as why a Twitter account police claim was operated by his son - @ProbablyOnion2 – was still tweeting out messages after his son was under arrest. Claiming repeatedly that he isn’t a member of Anonymous, and doesn’t know anyone involved in Anonymous, the father said he is certain his son’s exoneration will occur. “I am confident, now that I have enough evidence, that he will be cleared.” A new twist arose on Nov. 25, when, according to a media report, the Quebec wing of Anonymous denied the group played any role in the cyber attacks. According to the report, Anonymous believes a lone hacker by the name of Commander X – a former member of Anonymous now living in Canada – could be behind the recent events.

RA Centre reaches deal with striking employees Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A three-day strike by employees at the RA Centre ended Sunday afternoon after they reached a deal with their employer. All 27 of the affected unionized workers, who walked off the job at midnight on Nov. 20, voted in favour of the agreement that will give full-timers a oneper-cent raise retroactive to February of this year. Parttime employees will immediately get a 4.5-per-cent pay increase. Each of the workers will also receive a $100 lump sum, as well as a one-per-cent raise in the second year of the two-year contract that is set to expire Feb. 28, 2016. “We are pleased to have reached an agreement and very much look forward to focusing our attention on the delivery of quality programs and services that our RA community has become accustomed,� said Tosha

After voting in favour of management’s offer, the workers started going back to work. “The midnight shift went in at 10 (o’clock on Sunday night) and some of the guys on the ice machine in the rink went in as soon as the vote was over ‌ because the ice is in pretty bad shape (because of the strike),â€? Armstrong said. The ice makers will be bringing the surface back up to snuff ahead of an international wheelchair curling bonspiel at the centre this weekend. “So it’s going to take a couple of days to get the ice back in good shape,â€? Armstrong said. The employees didn’t want to go on strike ahead of Christmas and because of the potential impact on centre members, the union rep said, but felt they had no choice given the stalemate at the bargaining table.

offers from the employer after their three-year contract expired in May. “We were pleased that we got the job security language that we were looking for – layoffs, order of layoffs, notice of a layoff, things like that,� said Mike Armstrong, Unifor national representative. “We were never really too far apart on the money.� The key, he said, was likely his discussions during the strike with Rhodenizer. “I give the CEO credit for getting involved,� Armstrong said. “That’s, I think, the straw that broke the camel’s back here, and you know, made us feel comfortable enough to continue to bargain. “We just tried to explain the issues – where we were coming from. So she got a sense of what we’re doing.� The strike, which was largely timed to coincide with the centre’s annual general meeting on Nov. 20, got the employer’s attention, he said.

“They really care about the membership of the RA because they’ve seen them for years and years. They gained friendships with them,” Armstrong said Monday. “The last thing they want to do is withhold their services. “But if that’s what it takes, that’s what it takes.” After contract talks broke down, the union disclosed that the employees were unhappy with low morale at the fitness facility.

“I think the employer recognizes that now. We had some good, frank discussions at the table about how to improve it over the course of the new two years. So let’s see what happens. The RA Centre is considered the largest private not-for-profit recreation and leisure association in Ottawa with more than 22,000 members.

The Brick and Children’s Miracle Network® announce new partnership By David Johnson At only four years of age, Ava has learned how to be strong in the face of adversity. Her parents, Trina and Sean Ryan, first noticed “something was wrong” only a few shorts months after Ava was born in June 2010. “She would arch her back and cry in pain,” recalls Trina, a Registered Nurse. “And she suffered from projectile vomiting after feeding.” Ava’s condition was diagnosed with an all-encompassing term, “failure to thrive”, based on the fact that she was not growing or gaining weight. That’s when this little girl’s association began with the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). Over the months that followed, as she struggled for life, Ava was diagnosed with Ketotic Hypoglycemia. Her condition paralleled severe diabetes, requiring regular intake of nutrients to avoid falling into a coma. “Ava has to very careful with what she eats and when,” says her mom, “but for the most part, she is a fun-loving four-year-old.” Trina and Sean credit the care and treatment received at CHEO as a critical element in Ava’s success at overcoming her condition. “The CHEO staff are so understanding and caring, they always make her smile,” says Trina. “It’s like they’re part of the family.” Trina has a lifelong relationship with CHEO. She spent many hours at the hospital as a youngster as her sister Shannon suffered from heart disease. Shannon died at four years of age, when Trina was seven. “For me CHEO was like a home. The staff was like family to me. They were my heroes for how they helped my sister and eased her suffering.” That early association led Trina to study nursing so that she could give back what she had received. She even worked at CHEO before moving on to nursing sick children through Saint Elizabeth Home Care in Ottawa. Now, thanks to The Brick Furniture, sick and injured children have a new supporter raising funds for equipment and research that help make medical miracles.

The Brick, Canada’s largest retailer of furniture, appliances, mattresses and electronics, and Children’s Miracle Network, are working together with a goal of ‘Helping to Improve the Lives of Children, Brick by Brick’. This community-minded partnership was launched Monday Nov. 17 at the Brick Ottawa West location, 565 West Hunt Club Rd. Store Manager Paul Falardeau welcomed representatives from the CHEO Foundation and Children’s Miracle Network, along with Ava and Trina Ryan. “The Brick is proud to be part of communities across Canada and has a strong tradition of giving to these communities. We care about our neighbours – especially the youngest generation. That’s why we’re partnering with Children’s Miracle Network,” said Brick Group President Jim Caldwell, in a prepared statement. “The Brick is introducing Brickley Bear to help raise funds for the organization. Brickley Bear stuffed animals made by Gund are available in The Brick’s 220 stores nationwide, and online. All proceeds from the sale of Brickley Bear go to support the local children’s hospital serving the community.” The Brick is also accepting donations to Children’s Miracle Network through the sale of Brickley Bear cut-outs to further support children’s hospitals. And the retailer will match ever dollar donated from Oct. 1, 2014 to February 28, 2015, up to a maximum of $100,000. “The Brick is a great Canadian retailer which has provided value to the homes of Canadians, it just makes sense to partner with this community-focused retailer,” said John Hartman, Chief Operating Officer with Canada’s Children’s Miracle Network. Both The Brick and Children’s Miracle Network believe in keeping funds in the region where they are raised. Funds raised in eastern Ontario and western Quebec will directly support CHEO in Ottawa. Ottawa Brick stores are third in the top 25 stores across Canada for raising funds, with more than $4,000 already raised. “We are proud to be part of the team,” said Paul Falardeau. “That’s what it’s all about – improving lives and making a difference in our community.”

Every day, nearly 5,000 children rely on the support of the Children’s Miracle Network member hospitals across Canada. The Network raises funds and awareness for 170 hospitals, 14 of which are in Canada. Local donations fund critical treatments and healthcare services, pediatric medical equipment and research. To raise more awareness, the Brick has also launched a national colouring contest for children under 12. One of six, 36-inch Brickley Bears will be given to winners in each of six regions, as selected by The Brick. Winners will be announced Dec. 15. The contest colouring page is available on The Brick flyer distributed Nov. 14, or can be downloaded online at www.brickleybear.com. It is also available from any Brick, United Furniture Warehouse or Brick Mattress store in a free Brickley Bear colouring book. Tax receipts are issued for donations of $20 or more. For more information, go to the Community page at www.thebrick.com.

The Children’s Miracle Network and Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) is getting a boost from The Brick furniture stores with a new partnership announced Nov. 17 in Ottawa. On hand to kick off the fundraising campaign were (left to right) Dave St. Aubin, Brick Hunt Club General Sales Manager, Len Hanes, Director of Communications for the CHEO Foundation, Trina and Ava Ryan, Brick Hunt Club Manager Paul Falardeau and Vaia Dimas, Development Officer for Children’s Miracle Network.

from attending an NCC news conference on Nov. 21. Watson, who has frequently spoken out about the NCC’s unaccountability to the citizens of Ottawa and it’s “meddling� approach to city affairs, said the announcement was particularly perplexing because the city and NCC were set to meet in January for the city to report its findings on the cost and feasibility of burying the section of rail line along the parkway.

tension planned for 2018 by an additional $300 million to $400 million, according to Watson.The decision puts the city’s entire Phase 2 light-rail plan at risk, including links to the east and south, the mayor said on Nov. 24. Watson’s comments on the NCC board’s decision were stymied by a lack of information – the analysis and report the board relied to when making its decision hadn’t been shared with the mayor or city officials as of Monday, Nov. 24 and city staff were barred

Burying rail line is considered only other option Continued from page 28

Watson said he hoped to meet with Ottawa West-Nepean MP John Baird, the minister in charge of the NCC, this week to express the city’s “profound disappointment� at the NCC’s decision. If the NCC wants to put costly requests onto city projects, perhaps the federal government should pony up the cash to pay for them, Watson said. “We’ve put a lot of time and effort into addressing NCC issues, but at some point we have to say, ‘I’m sorry, but we can’t afford your grandiose costs of three, four hundred million more,� Watson said. “If the federal government wants to pay for the incremental costs of burying every square inch of light rail in the west end, we’re happy to entertain that discussion. “But we can’t have one organization, which is unaccountable and unelected, making decisions in secret and springing them on the taxpayers of Ottawa. It’s just not fair and it’s not really what partnership is all about.� Watson said voters in the recent municipal election re-elected him with a strong mandate to expand light rail, and he thinks the issue will become the major ballot question in the upcoming federal election next fall. Burying the entire rail line is necessary to meet the NCC’s two major objectives for its land: to protect access to the Ottawa River and to preserve sightlines, said Mark Kristmanson, the organization’s chief executive. Another option the NCC is prepared to allow is for the city to investigate having the rail line cross the federally owned Rochester Field above or below ground before continuing west, Kristmanson said. That option would also necessitate burying more of the LRT line under Richmond Road or through

Byron Linear Park – both options the city rejected due to the high cost and major opposition from residents in the area, the mayor said. Only a couple hours after the NCC’s announcement, a community group called Neighbours for Smart Western Rail sent out an email decrying the decision. “A surprise decision by the National Capital Commission today could potentially put the Byron Linear Park back in jeopardy,� the message reads. “Now more than ever, we need to

A weekly guide in legal matters

With files from Steph Willems

If you have a general legal question that you would like to have addressed send it via email to Legalmatters@compellingcounsel.com

This week we answer a question posed by one of our readers, L.L. We are buying our first home. The bank insists that we add my father as a co-owner of the home since in order to qualify for the mortgage amount that we need. The entire down payment is coming from our savings and we will be making all the mortgage payments. I really don’t want to include my father. What are your suggestions?

Adding a person that is not going to be living at the property as a co-owner is generally not recommended, unless you are buying an investment property. You should talk to your bank whether it would be sufficient to have your father as a guarantor on the mortgage, rather than a coowner. If the bank still insists on your father’s ownership, there are ways to structure the co-ownership in order to protect everyone’s interest and to minimize your father’s exposure to any tax related consequences of owning a second home.

Ticket Information

Joint Tenancy and Tenancy in Common There are two ways how two or more individuals can own a real property together. They can either own it as joint tenants or as tenants in common. The main difference between the two is that people who own a property as joint tenants have a right of survivorship, meaning that if either one of them dies, his or her ownership share passes automatically to the other surviving joint tenants. This is in contrast with tenancy in common, which does not have a right of survivorship, meaning that the share of the deceased tenant in common becomes part of such person’s estates. With tenancy in common you can also specify a size of a share that each co-owner owns. For example, your father can own 1% share of the home and you and your spouse remaining 99% share, with all of you owning the home as tenants in common, to make sure that your and your spouse’s share becomes part of your estate rather than transferring to your father in case something happens to both of you.

Schepers said she couldn’t answer that question because the environmental assessment studying route options was still underway. Last year, Schepers did give a description of the cost difference between putting rail above or below ground. Per kilometre, it costs approximately $40 to $60 million to build on the surface, but that number balloons to $100 to $150 million per kilometre for underground rail.

He gunned down 28 people, killing 14, before turning the rifle on himself. Every year on Dec. 6 – the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women – the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre holds a vigil to remember those women and all the other women and children affected by violence and abuse.

“This one in particular is an important event because 25 years, (it’s been) 25 years since that day that I think brought light to violence against women and gender-based violence,” said Erin Flemming, peer support co-ordinator at the resource centre. “It was no longer necessarily a secret issue that stayed behind closed doors – it left people speechless and really made people more aware.” The centre always lights 15 candles at the vigil – the last flame for all the nameless victims of violence. “It’s a time for us to, first and foremost, to remember those 14 women who lost their lives simply because they were women; but also recognize and bring awareness to the issue of violence and abuse that is affecting women and children every day, every second of every day, across the globe,” said Flemming. “It brings the community together and in solidarity we can say that this is not OK and we want it to end.” November is Woman Abuse Prevention Month and Metro-

Fifteen candles are lit during the annual Dec. 6 vigil at the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre. The vigil is held on the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women to honour the 14 women killed in 1989 by a psychologically disturbed gunman at École Polytechnique. The day also recognizes all women and children impacted by violence by lighting a 15th candle. land Media has published a number of articles on the subject. This final installment looks at the cultural shift that has taken place and the importance of remembering victims and survivors of violence against women. Statistics from the resource centre and Statistics Canada say that one in three Canadian women have experienced sexual assault or psychological, emotional or physical abuse from males. Last year, 124 women and

children received shelter at Chrysalis House, a secure 25bed shelter for women and children leaving an abusive home. An additional 303 were turned away due to lack of space. “I don’t think – I know – that this is a community issue that we all need to really recognize and pay attention to because it’s happening to our neighbours and our friends and our daughters and our sons and everybody you come into contact with,” said Flemming. “You will know or have

come into contact with somebody who has experienced violence in their relationship. It’s a reality, unfortunately.” Even though violence against women is not a new issue, there has been a cultural shift over the last 25 years. People are beginning to talk more openly about abuse, said Flemming, pointing to high profile cases that have been in the media over the last number of months. See I GRADUALLY, page 33

‘I gradually lost all self-confidence and self-esteem’ Continued from page 31

The allegations of abuse have spurred a number of hashtags that have garnered messages from around the world: #whyIstayed #whyIleft #BeenRapedNeverReported #MANifestchange and #Ibelievewomen are just some of the narratives creating global conversations. “I think people are recognizing more that this is an issue; it’s OK to talk about violence against women, more so than it was 25 years ago,” said Flemming. “I think social media in and of itself, can help create that change … It can be used in really positive ways that reach hundreds of thousands of people in a few seconds.” Awareness campaigns and community initiatives are also leading the charge to help put an end to genderbased violence. Men are taking an active role through the I can MANifest change project and the White Ribbon campaign. “We’re seeing this big shift with men; men who are identifying themselves as feminists and are OK with that. Men who are saying, ‘You know what, violence against women, if we’re going to end it, it starts with

us,’” said Flemming. “They’re really stepping up and they’re doing all these initiatives and campaigns to bring awareness to other men, first and foremost, by educating them and bringing awareness to the issue and teaching them how they can create change in their own lives and then within the community.” Every year at the vigil, a survivor tells her story. Last year, Kimberley told the crowd about her family’s experience of abuse at the hands of her ex-husband. “I gradually lost all self-confidence and self-esteem over the years and blamed myself for all the moods, as he did,” said Kimberley, who has two daughters. “If only I could have been a better wife, all would have been well. If only the kids would behave better. If only.” It took 20 years, but she broke free – Kimberley won full custody and found assistance through the resource centre. “I struggled with the idea of speaking here tonight – I’m a private person – but I need to give back now and my daughters insisted that I tell our story,” she said at last year’s vigil. “If I help to raise the awareness of the terrible toll of violence against

women and children, then this has been worth it. Lives are ruined and lost because we’ve been too afraid and ashamed to speak. We must stop being afraid.” The year before, a peer support worker with the centre’s violence against women program read a survivor’s story. The survivor, who wished to remain anonymous, lived through an emotionally-abusive relationship and sought help from the resource centre after she was pushed down a flight of stairs. “She was connected up with a peer supporter,” the worker said in 2012. “Today she’s on her own and doing well.” In 2011, Judy told of her escape from an abusive marriage and how she suffered through years of emotional and verbal abuse before seeking help. “My funny, nice partner was an abuser,” she said. “Why didn’t I have bruises so people could see I was abused?” There are many reasons why women may stay in an abusive relationship, she said, citing a lack of resources, children to consider, a fear of leaving, a fear of the unknown and

“the fear to let others know your happy little family is a sham.” But there is hope, she added, and the vigil is a way to remember those women who suffer and have suffered at the hands of others. And in 2010, Cathleen Lavoie spoke to the crowd from her wheelchair. She was shot in the neck by her boyfriend after breaking up with him in 2008. Lavoie and her boyfriend were together for five months, she said. During that time she saw warning signs but didn’t heed them. “We need to stand up and not let this happen anymore,” she said at the vigil four years ago. All the stories are different; all the stories are the same. That 15th flame. “It reminds us of the importance of why we’re at the event,” said Flemming. “We’re there to commemorate all those women who have not only lost their lives but who are currently experiencing violence and abuse in a relationship and the importance of really paying attention to that as a community and working to create change.” The vigil, an outdoor candlelight

ceremony followed by an indoor reception, will be held at the resource centre at 2 MacNeil Crt. in Kanata, starting at 5 p.m. People are invited to arrive early and sign a guest book with their messages of hope and support. “Attending events like this, just your presence alone shows that you support and encourage women who are in those relationships and that you recognize that it is a reality for so many people,” said Flemming. “It really is a time to reflect but also to open people’s eyes. It’s such a powerful event.” Finding help

PLANNING A LEGACY GIFT AS PART OF YOUR ESTATE PLAN CAN HAVE POSITIVE TAX BENEFITS Did you know that you can designate a charitable organization as the direct beneficiary of a part or all of your retirement funds? By Paul St. Louis, LL.B, TEP Vice-President, Doherty & Associates

Many people who have been faithfully putting away funds regularly into registered retirement savings plans are only peripherally aware of the large embedded tax liability within these funds. For those holding such plans, the general idea is to draw on these funds later in life (you must begin doing so in the year following the year in which you turn 71) when your taxation rate may be lower. When the funds come out of the

plan, they are considered income and taxed accordingly. Similarly on death, unless rolled over to a qualified beneficiary (usually a spouse), the funds are de-registered all at once, considered income and consequently taxed heavily. Did you know that you can designate a charitable organization as the direct beneficiary of a part or all of your retirement funds? This represents a unique opportunity for some donors who are planning a legacy gift as part of their estate plan. When CHEO

is designated as a direct beneficiary of a part or all of your RRSP or RRIF, on the death of the plan holder, your estate can be issued a charitable tax receipt for the full amount of the designated funds which will generally offset the entire tax liability embedded in the designated funds. It is relatively straightforward to make this kind of gift. You simply need to name the hospital (CHEO Foundation - charitable registration number 11885 2474 RR0001) as the beneficiary on the plan documentation

If you are interested in finding out about how you can leave a CHEO legacy, please contact Megan Doyle Ray at

with the financial institution that holds your retirement account. Before moving forward with such a gift, you need to consider this technique in the broader context of your overall financial and tax situation, so it is advisable to get professional advice from either your own financial planner or one of CHEO’s Legacy Advisory Committee members.

Condos losing the battle but winning the war Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

Even though the development market in Ottawa will cool down over the next couple of years, the condo will be king in the long run, according to analysts. While the condo market in the city is saturated and will slow down until after 2016, Ottawa’s urban areas will continue to be a prime location for condos as homebuyers have an increasing interest in affordable abodes, attendees at the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation’s Housing Outlook conference heard on Nov. 13. “Even though in the short run we are seeing the condo market cooling down, this cooling down is a result of higher inventories,” said Sandra Perez-Torres, a senior market analyst with CHMC. The market needs time to absorb the glut of condos that have been built in the last few years, but it doesn’t mean demand is going down, she said. Single-person households and couples without children are the quickest-growing segments of the market, Perez-Torres said. “This trend is showing you that

Construction of condo towers will slow down in Ottawa for the next couple of years, according to the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation, but demand for smaller, affordable homes will stay high in the long run. these smaller households will demand smaller dwellings,” she said. There are already a lot of single homes built in Ottawa, so new construction is focused mainly on condos, she said. Multi-unit dwellings such as condos, row houses and semi-detached dwellings are now a larger

share of the construction market than single-family homes, according to the CMHC. Sixty-nine per cent of new homes are multiples, while 32 per cent are singles. In the real estate market, singles are still in demand, but their share of sales is on the decline. Singles composed 59 per cent of home sales in 2004,

but that number fell to 56 per cent a decade later. Seniors are also driving demand for condos as their adult children move out, Perez-Torres said. Most of the condos will continue to take the form of units in tall towers, especially as land prices rise in the downtown core, Perez-Torres

said. In Ottawa’s notoriously tight rental market, an increasing number of condos are being used as rental apartments. In 2012, 20.7 per cent of condos were purchased as investments and a year later, that figure went up to 24 per cent, Perez-Torres said. Ottawa had the fewest rental units built in the last two years among major Canadian cities, a group including Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Edmonton and Calgary. While several hundred new units of purpose-built rental housing were constructed from 2012 to 2014, a larger number of condo units being built helps substitute for a relatively small stock of rental units, according to the CHMC. And despite a sharp increase in the number of condo rentals, vacancy rates haven’t changed much, showing that rental demand is keeping pace with construction. Vacancy rates will continue to decline and rents will go up slightly in the next two years, Perez-Torres predicted. In the meantime, more than 40 per cent of people aged 19 to 29 live with their parents in Ottawa, according to Statistics Canada. “It’s actually been that high for many years,” Perez-Torres said.

Residents are invited to take part in the grand opening of the Airport Parkway bridge on Saturday, Nov. 29. wetlands and transit services, such as the Greenboro transit station at the South Keys Shopping Centre, as well as paths leading to present and future O-Train stations. “So ultimately when the OTrain is expanded there will be a stop at South Keys and at Walkley,” she said. While the bridge will be maintained year-round, the next council should have a serious discussion around which multi-use pathways, such as the Sawmill Creek pathway, should be kept open during the winter months, McRae said. “And I know this term of council will actually have that discussion,” she said, adding that she hopes the Sawmill Creek pathway and a path from the Brookfield Road roundabout to Hunt Club

Road will be included. “It would certainly be a huge advantage to commuters to be able to take their bikes with winter maintenance in place.” Likewise, the needs of people with disabilities must also be taken into account, said McRae. Even though the grand opening is scheduled, Sankey said given the saga surrounding the bridge, he won’t consider the project finished until he walks across it. “We’ve wanted this bridge for 20 years and setback after setback has left people basically exhausted and a huge number tuned out,” he said. “I will say ‘finally’ when we’re actually allowed to walk on it. I really won’t totally believe it before then, there’s been so many setbacks.”

Past deadline and over budget, the Airport Parkway pedestrian and cycling bridge is finally ready to be put to use. Cutting the ribbon to mark the grand opening of the 75-metrelong east-west span on Saturday, Nov. 29 will likely be the final act of outgoing River Ward Coun. Maria McRae, who will be joined at the celebration by Mayor Jim Watson. And she’s inviting residents to take part in the ceremony, which gets underway at 3 p.m. on the west side of the bridge nearest Cahill Drive West and Plante Drive. “I want them to join us in walking across the bridge together,” said McRae. John Sankey, president of the Hunt Club Community Organization, will also be at the opening. “It is so important for a huge hunk of our community,” said Sankey, who has been closely monitoring construction of the bridge. Hunt Club residents living east of McCarthy Road will especially benefit from connecting to the network of pathways made possible with the bridge’s opening. “And now they’ve got a chance to walk or bike,” Sankey said. Originally budgeted to cost $6.9 million, the bridge was expected to be built in 2011. That fall McRae said she saw chunks of cement falling from the tower, and it eventually had to be torn down. The project has since ballooned

to $11.55 million due to the faulty design of the original tower, but the city hopes to recoup $5.8 million of that price tag through a lawsuit it launched earlier this year against WSP Canada Inc., formerly known as Genivar, for its problematic design. “And the city intends to vigorously pursue that lawsuit,” McRae said. “We want to collect on behalf of our taxpayers.” Construction started back up this spring, and the steel pedestrian-cycling deck was craned into place in August. Despite the many problems and delays, McRae said there was never a question of scrapping the project when the going got tough. “Absolutely never, never, no, no, no,” said McRae, who advocated for a safe east-west Parkway crossing in her first term of council. “Years and years ago when that project was originally approved, it was the right decision then. It remained the right decision to continue construction. “There was never a doubt in my mind that that was an appropriate piece of infrastructure that we needed.” Crossing the busy Parkway has been extremely dangerous, prompting most people to drive the long way around, said Sankey. “They really didn’t have a sensible option. Now they do.” Calling it “a beautiful project that will be enjoyed for many, many years by thousands of residents,” McRae said the bridge has been built to link residents to cycling pathways, recreation areas, the Sawmill Creek constructed

R0013088055

National Entrepreneurship Day will come to Ottawa in 2015, though officials couldn’t specify an exact date for the event. The day will be held in November 2015, and recognize entrepreneurs across the city. The idea is modelled after an American day as U.S. President Barack Obama declared the third Tuesday each November to be their national entrepreneurs’ day. There is currently a bill before Congress to make the day a permanent American celebration annually.

Mayor Jim Watson’s office hosted the Nov. 19 announcement, which included dozens of Ottawa entrepreneurs. He said Ottawa has the most start-up companies of any Canadian city. Watson said entrepreneurs “are the risktakers, the dreamers” who help economic growth and create jobs in the city. “People joke I’d go the opening of an envelope,” Watson said. “I take great pride in attending the opening of a small business.” Details about the actual date and event will be announced later. More information about the plans can be found online at www.entrepreneurshipday.ca.

The time has come to work together to end youth homelessness in Ottawa, providers and funding agencies agree. A new mood of co-operation permeated a conference on the topic held by the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa on Nov. 18 at the RA Centre, said the event’s keynote speaker, Stephen Gaetz. He said local agencies are ready to tackle the next stage towards eliminating homelessness among young people under age 25 – more than 1,000 of whom used shelters in Ottawa last year. “People understand it’s going to mean doing things differently,” Gaetz said. “You’re right at that moment of transition and change,” he said. Gaetz, a leading international researcher and associate dean of research and field development in the faculty of education at York University, delivered a presentation to kick off workshops for service providers with the hope of finding strategies to end youth homelessness. Within a year, Gaetz said he would anticipate significant changes to Ottawa’s youth homelessness sector. “There is that level of momentum we haven’t seen in the past,” agreed Joanne Lowe, executive director of the Youth Services Bureau. She said there is a “huge interest” among service providers in establishing a coalition targeting youth homelessness. Collaboration can historically be a challenge in sectors like housing providers, Gaetz said.

“Culturally, there are factors that push people apart. Funding makes us competitive,” he said. Organizations tend to have “specialness disease,” Gaetz said – everyone thinks they are dealing with the toughest clients. “They privilege themselves and create their own barriers,” he said. Now that agencies are expressing a willingness to move past that, the United Way is stepping in to help hone that focus and put money where it is needed. “Our sense is that the community is more ready than it has been to look upon us as partners,” said Michael Allen, executive director of the United Way. “The mood is evolving.” The United Way just released its call for proposals from groups applying for funding and it includes a “sharpened focus” on alleviating youth homelessness through a “housing first” philosophy, Allen said. The approach involves finding homes for youth as quickly as possible and working on their other problems after they are in a stable housing situation. It’s something the United Way already prioritized, but there is an extra emphasis on it this time around, Allen said, particularly when it comes to youth. To do that, the United Way is also hoping groups come forward with proposals to increase the amount of affordable housing for young people. Increasing awareness and engagement around ending youth homelessness through collaboration is another underlying goal, Allen said.

Similar to Gaetz’s takeway from the conference, Allen said the new focus comes out of what the United Way is hearing from service providers. Those partners see youth homelessness as an area that needs particular attention, since the city has a strong strategy to address homelessness more broadly, said Jeff Willbond, senior director of community initiatives at the United Way. “There is an evolution and a greater understanding from a prevention perspective,” he said. “Youth need more attention.” The United Way’s call for proposals for seven of its 10 priorities goals opened Nov. 17 and will close Dec. 15 at 1 p.m. FOCUS AREAS

• Decreasing youth homelessness in Ottawa • Providing access to co-ordinated community-based supports for people experiencing mental health and/or addictions challenges • Ensuring people in crisis have access to co-ordinated and immediate supports • Strengthening organizations so they have a greater capacity to meet community needs and change more lives • Enabling vulnerable seniors to remain living in their own homes and stay engaged in their community • Increasing opportunities for meaningful employment for people with disabilities • Increasing the number of residents in priority neighbourhoods leading their own community development initiatives.

Keep safe while shoveling snow from your driveway The heavy lifting can be a pain in more ways than one, so these tips from the Ontario Chiropractic Association will help keep your back in top shape: • Don’t let the snow pile up: If the weather report calls for several days of snow, frequent shoveling will allow you to move smaller amounts of snow each time. It’s far less strenuous in the long run. • Pick the right shovel: Use a lightweight pusher-type shovel. If you are using a met-

al shovel, spray it with Teflon first, so snow won’t stick to it. • Push, don’t throw: Always push the snow to the side rather than throw it. That way you avoid lifting heavy shovelfuls of snow, and sudden twisting or turning movements. • Bend your knees: As with any heavy object, you need to use your knees, leg, and arm muscles to do the pushing and lifting, while keeping your back straight. • Take a break: If you feel tired or short of breath, stop

and take a rest. Shake out your arms and legs. Stop shoveling immediately if you feel chest pain or back pain. If you have back pain that is severe or that persists for more than a day after shoveling, see a chiropractor. If you have chest pain that is severe, see a doctor immediately.

St. Pat’s Irish already eyeing provincial championships Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Green may be the colour of their jerseys, but gold is the preferred colour of players on St. Patrick’s Catholic High School varsity boys’ basketball team. They have three losses and three wins since the launch of pre-season play on Nov. 7 – the regular season kicks off on Dec. 3 – and they already have their eye on winning gold at the 2015 provincial AAAA boys’ basketball championship. Michael Soy, 17, is one of three Grade 12 students on the team. He helped the Irish earn two strong finishes at the Ontario Federation of Student Athletic Associations’ provincial championships – silver when he was in Grade 10 and fourth place during his Grade 11 year. “It’s all about OFSAA for us,” the point guard said during an after-school practice last week. The varsity team has become the heart of the Catholic high school on Alta Vista Drive, and was recently ranked as the 13th

Matt Koeslag, co-coach of St. Patrick’s Irish boys’ varsity basketball team, instructs players during after-school practice last week. best Canadian high school basketball team by North Pole Hoops, a Canadian media outlet that provides coverage on all levels of basketball in the country. Since then, the ranking has been updated and included the Irish on a list of teams to watch – still considered a coup for the hard-working players. “To me it recognizes the last couple of years,” said Matt Koeslag, who cocoaches the team with Tina St. Amour. They’ve won eight city championships and three provincial medals together in the last 11 years. The Irish lost seven players who graduated after the team won silver at the OFSAA tournament. “Not many people expected much from us, so to finish fourth (earlier this year) was phenomenal, and I think (the ranking is) a recognition of that,” Koeslag said. This summer, Muhammed Kabeya, a St. Pat’s point guard, competed with the provincial team, which won silver at nationals, and was named a tournament all-star. “Obviously having that experience and playing at that level and playing against that kind of competition goes huge for our program,” the coach said. “He gets to bring that back to our guys.” The team is also capitalizing on the experience gained by two players who went to the cadet and junior-level national tryouts in May and June. Another player took part in Ontario Basketball’s prestigious talent identification and development training program. “So we have guys that are competing in a bunch of different things across the province and across the country. They come back, and all that goes in our ranking as well,” said Koeslag,

who joined St. Amour in coaching the team 11 years ago. The team has flourished since then. It placed second at the OFSAA championships in 1999-00 and won the championship in 2007-08. “We have over 60 kids come to our (off-court) dryland (training in September) trying to make the team, knowing that’s not even our tryout. Our tryouts are in the first week of October,” he said. “It’s a nice problem to have though. We have such a huge basketball community we can pull from.” He told the players then that some who have the potential to play at the college and university level one day wouldn’t make the 15-player team this year because of roster restrictions. “We just had a depth of ability this year, and now it’s just about getting that ability to work on the same page and work at the right level and do the right tings on and off the court so we can go back and try to get our third OFSAA medal,” said Koeslag. The team’s fan base has also exploded as a result of success on the court, and the stands are packed for every home game. “They love basketball at this school,” he said. “When we first came we didn’t get anybody out to our games.” The team is considered fast on the court and this year one of its strengths is strong shooting. “We just have to put that to work,” said Soy, who is hoping to continue playing basketball at the college level after graduation. “It’s a young team, but we’re strong.” The team travels to Kitchener, Ont. this weekend to compete against topranked teams at the Court Heinbuch

New Lansdowne to host 2016 Tim Hortons Brier brier.dodge@metroland.com

Ottawa will host curling’s biggest Canadian event in 2016, the Tim Hortons Brier. The Brier will be held from March 5 to 13 in the renovated TD Place Arena at Lansdowne Park. The men’s tournament will host 11 provincial or territorial champions, as well as whichever team wins this year’s Brier, which starts Feb. 28 in Calgary. The team that wins the Brier automatically qualifies for the next year’s championship, but also advances to represent Canada at the world championship. The 2016 championship winner will qualify for the 2016 world championships in Basel, Switzerland. Mayor Jim Watson said hosting more sports events is all part of the city’s “bid more, win more, host more” strategy.

Each sporting event hosted by the city brings millions in revenue, through ticket sales, hotels, food and drink. Watson said he expects the event to generate $15 million for the city. “The Brier is an iconic Canadian sporting event,” said Watson. “With anticipation, we look forward to 2016 – the drama and anticipation of the competition and the historic moments.” Jessica Thorne, 15, said she’s excited to be able to watch her favourite curlers close to home. “The last time it was around here it was in Kingston two hours away,” said Jessica, a Carleton Heights Curling Club curler who attended the Nov. 20 announcement. “I think it’s great.” There will be plans to engage local youth in the tournament by matching junior players with competitive teams,

said Canadian Curling Association CEO Greg Stremlaw. “We want to make sure they come out and volunteer,” he said. Other programs may include on-ice demonstrations by junior, wheelchair and visually-impaired players. The Ottawa Valley Curling Association will help organize the tournament and provide volunteers. The organization’s past-president and host committee spokesperson Elaine Brimicombe said local curlers are very excited to have the Brier in their hometown. The association has 45 clubs with 16,000 curlers. “Thank you for giving us this beautiful gift,” Brimicombe said. “We’ve waited a long time to hear the words ‘Ottawa: home of the 2016 Brier.’” The last time the Brier was held in Ottawa was 2001 and the arena was known as

the Civic Centre. Since then, Lansdowne Park has been totally renovated. This means the 2001 problem of pigeon droppings and dust that they disturbed on rafters will be eliminated. “We’ve completely refurbished inside. The arena is state of the art, there are no issues with any of that kind of thing,” Ottawa Sport and Entertainment Group CEO Bernie Ashe said of the bird problems that interrupted play in 2001. “You won’t be seeing pigeons.” It will be the 87th edition of the championship. Tickets are expected to go on sale this February.

Members of Alterna Savings, Causeway Work Centre and former Financial Literacy Program graduates celebrate the launch of the 2015 Financial Literacy Campaign on Nov. 18.

Group launches campaign to boost financial literacy Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

The Financial Literacy Action Network renewed its commitment to increasing the number of residents in Ottawa who understand their finances with the launch its 2015 Financial Literacy Campaign on Nov. 18. The campaign focuses on delivering financial literacy workshops throughout the area -which could reach more than 16,000 Ottawa residents. “The goal is to increase knowledge and skills in financial literacy particularly among socio-economically vulnerable groups such as First Nations, immigrants/newcomers, persons with mental illness, seniors, families with low incomes, and youth,” said Hélène Ménard, director of the organization. “With increased visibility and engagement, the plan is to make financial literacy a fundamental pillar in our local communities.” Financial literacy is the ability to understand one’s finances. The network brings together financial organizations and individuals

from the community to help promote and educate people on household budgets and spending practices. The network focuses on helping low-income families and residents in Ottawa and acts as a hub full of information and activities for those seeking help or education. The centre is open to all organizations and community members who are involved in promoting financial literacy and will focus on strengthening the population’s understanding of financial choices to achieve measurable success. The event was hosted by Alterna Savings in Centretown and welcomed Andrew Saxton, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance. “I am extremely pleased to see this collaborative effort involving government, community and private organizations in helping to strengthen the financial skills of consumers in the greater Ottawa community,” Saxton said. The organization originally launched in November 2012 and operates out of Entraide Budgétaire in Vanier.

Don’t let learning slip while school is out Everybody loves vacation time and the break from the ordinary routine. Students are no exception. However, for students, vacation

time can be detrimental to learning as school breaks are often when school momentum and good habits begin to slip.

“While children should have fun with their time off, they shouldn’t take a complete break from learning,” says Dr. Nick Whitehead, the CEO

and founder of Oxford Learning. According to Dr. Whitehead, maintaining learning momentum over spring break is especially important. “More than any other school-year break, the spring holidays are an important time to pay special attention to maintaining habits.

This is the last stretch of the school year and final report cards are not that far away.” By keeping the brain engaged over the school break—even in just an hour a day—students will stay mentally agile and motivated to learn. News Canada

Drone engineering jobs swoop into Orléans ING Robotic Aviation receives $349,000 from federal gov’t Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - A drone company founded by an Orléans resident is flying a little higher as a federal government grant allows them to expand staff. ING Robotic Aviation started by building drones – unmanned aircraft – for military purposes, but have expanded to manufacture drones for commercial use. “Our company began with drones for Afghanistan,” said founder and CEO Ian Glenn, a former military man himself. “We kept our service men and women safe as they took part in very dangerous combat. All that time we were looking for bad people doing bad things.” He said now the drones can do a wide range of things and monitor everything from “drug smugglers to polar bears.”

In 2011, the company expanded into the commercial sector, and projects have ranged from surveying for oil and gas companies to monitoring the polar bears in Churchill, Man. Staff have been in Orléans for some time, with other engineers and employees working in Sherbrooke, Que. and remotely from home offices. Employees will continue to be based in several locations, but the Orléans office will be headquarters. The Orléans office expanded four months ago and is now located on Youville Drive; the Nov. 17 announcement of a $349,000 grant from the National Research Council of Canada industrial research assistance program has allowed them to hire 15 additional employees. “Very specially, (the grant) goes against salaries for really smart engineers,” said Glenn, an engineer himself. “This allows me to attract the best in the country.” The company develops a range of products, with the smaller Responder drone flying a kilometre radius, and the larger Serenity drone able to fly for eight hours across an 100km range – which requires airspace

permission. The drones collect visual information using cameras, infrared and thermographic sensors. The NRC’s Bogdan Ciobanu said investing in companies such as ING Robotic Aviation is crucial to developing innovative technologies in Canada. Ciobanu was accompanied by Industry Minister James Moore and Ottawa-Orléans MP Royal Galipeau for the Nov. 17 announcement, held at the company’s Orléans headquarters. Moore said it was important to create good quality jobs, and ING Robotic Aviation’s expansion will help a Canadian company produce cutting-edge technology, as well as benefit a community. “This is a tremendous opportunity for Orléans,” Moore said. Glenn said the company has been successful because of the early experience he and his staff gained working with the military. “Our competitive advantage is we have the operational experience, and we’ve designed our technology based on that experience,” he said. “There’s not a company like us.”

Family’s story could come alive on big screen Teach Me I Can Learn chronicles story of 15-year-old special education case Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

A local family is hoping its story of inclusion will make it to the silver screen. Osgoode Township High School alumnus Lorraine Amyot and her husband John Paquin, who now live

downtown, have launched a crowdfunding campaign this month to produce a dramatization of their very real fight with the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board to educate their daughter Nicole, who has Down Syndrome. Fifteen years ago, the family was embroiled in a widely publicized battle with the school board and the Ministry of Education to allow Nicole to attend Castor Valley Elementary School with her sister Julian. The battle lasted several years, culminating in a three-week picket outside the Greely school after Nicole and her sister were locked out. The protests attracted child advocates and parents in similar situations, and the story was

grated into a regular class at her local school so she could socialize, make friends and learn the curriculum at her own pace. An assessment from CHEO recommended integration with an educational assistant, as did a report from the school board’s internal Identification, Placement and Review committee, Amyot said. Nicole was eventually granted the right to attend her neighbourhood school with the help of an assistant, but according to Paquin it was an ongoing battle until she graduated from Osgoode Township High School at the age of 21 to make sure her supports were in place year after year. “You almost have to litigate your way through,” he said. That’s the point Paquin and Amyot are hoping to make with their film, which has been adapted for the big screen by area screenwriter Stephanie Haines. “Here we are in 2015, and (the issue is) still here, it’s still relevant,” Paquin said. “The funding has changed a bit, there’s more talk about inclusion, but we still need to see it happen.” The crowdfunding campaign hopes to raise $200,000 by March, which

picked up across the province as the protesters set up camp in front of the office of John Baird, then the provincial Minister for Children, Community and Social Services, and the Ministry of Education offices in Toronto. The school board wanted Nicole to attend Clifford Bowey Public School, which caters to students with special needs. But Amyot and Paquin didn’t want that. Not only was the school an hour’s drive from their home in Metcalfe, the parents felt the school was meant for students with much higher needs than Nicole’s. “She would have learned to dress and undress, learned how to eat,” Paquin said. Instead, they wanted Nicole inte-

would secure a production company for the project. The family’s book chronicling the saga, called Teach Me I Can Learn, is being offered as a free download to encourage people to visit the site and donate to the cause. They hope to film the fictionalized drama next year, but it all depends on how the fundraising goes. “According to Invest Ottawa, we are on track and poised to go viral,” Paquin said. “We’re doing everything right.” In the meantime, the couple are treating the project like a full-time job. They have been attending Invest Ottawa courses and are soliciting corporate sponsors. Nicole, meanwhile, is attending an adaptive learning program four days a week. On Fridays she volunteers at the Bruyere Continuing Care centre’s hair salon. Paquin said his daughter’s success is a testament to the value of attending a regular public school. “I just want people to know people with intellectual disabilities can learn just like everyone else,” he said.

Manotick water main build still five years away Unclear what that means for Long Island paving, sidewalk projects Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

The city has wrapped up its environmental assessment on a new water main project for Manotick, but it could still be five years before residents see shovels in the ground. The new pipe would connect from Riverside South down Long Island Drive and under the Rideau River to the new Minto Mahogany development south of the village. It’s not needed yet; the new infrastructure will only be necessary once Phase 2 of the 1,400-home subdivision gets underway. But Minto executives say that won’t happen until at least 2018. The slowing real estate market is to blame, according to Brent Stra-

chan, senior vice president of Minto Communities. “You’re seeing a slower market for the upper end market,” Strachan said. So far, Minto has only sold 28 homes in Phase 1, 16 of which are occupied. If minor lot size changes currently before the city are approved, the first phase will see a built-out of 211 homes, hopefully by the end of 2017. Only once Minto is ready to start planning Phase 2 will executives begin to discuss front-end agreements with the city to put the water main link through the village, said Susan Murphy, Minto’s vice president of development. “It’s four or five years away,” she said. While Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt said waiting for the pipes “isn’t the end of the world,” it’s the delay to other community projects that concerns him. Long Island Road is overdue to be repaved, but Moffatt had the city postpone the project to bundle it with the water main work – origi-

nally expected in the next year or so – so the road wouldn’t be being ripped up twice, in as many years. SIDEWALK

The money saved from that bundling was supposed to fund a 1.5kilometre sidewalk on Long Island from Bridge Street to St. Leonard Catholic School, which would be installed during the water main construction. Moffatt said he’s unsure how the setback will affect the Long Island repaving timeline, although it could get done as soon as next summer. If it happens, Moffatt called that a “silver lining.” The sidewalk is another question. “I’ll have to work with staff to see what kind of short term solution we can develop to address the need to safer pedestrian space,” Moffatt said. Community association president Klaus Beltzner said Long Island residents are going to be “up in arms” about the news if it means the sidewalk project gets pushed back

or nixed altogether. “That’s all we need is to have another thing that was supposed to happen not happen,” Beltzner said. The water main is set to begin on Summerhill Street in Riverside South, from which it would extend south on River Road, cross the Rideau River between Walter Upton-Collins Park and David Bartlett Park and continue south on Bravar Drive, Long Island Road and Van Vliet Road. The pipe would then cross a second channel of the river to connect to Antochi Lane before continuing west to meet up with an existing water main on Manotick Main Street.

Minto is currently pursuing several site plan changes in its Phase 1 project, in an effort to respond to the sluggish market. In June, Minto applied to the city to add more units and redesign a gateway feature. Among other setback adjustments, the rezoning and subdivision amendments would reduce the size of some lots from 60 feet to 47 feet, allowing enough extra room to add 14 new lots to the area and a wider range of housing sizes. The changes don’t affect the development’s overall density; the new lot sizes are simply swapped out of later phases.

More businesses for Bronson a concern for residents Downtown and south-end residents bemoan zoning changes – for different reasons

in the massive citywide zoning review project: a decision to make the land uses along Bronson north of Bronson Avenue north of Gladstone Avenue conform to a “traditional main street” style.

Laura Mueller

His concern is that the change will eventually lead the road, which was just rebuilt in 2012 and 2013, to become a main street like Bank Street with slower traffic. Many Hunt Clubarea residents use Bronson as a main route to drive downtown. “This means it can’t be an arterial (road) anymore,” Sankey said. “If the land use changes, the street has to follow.” But a city planning manager says the move doesn’t change the transportation function of the street. “There is no discrepancy in my mind at all,” said Alain Miguelez, the city’s program manager for zoning, intensification and neighbourhoods. “The zoning is not doing anything to the roadway.” While the zoning previously allowed mostly residential land uses, the city’s Official Plan – the bible for land use – already dictates the street is to have mixed-use buildings. Changing the zoning to allow “traditional main street” uses, including small businesses and residential buildings of up to 20 metres (six storeys) makes it match that Official Plan goal, Miguelez said. Bronson Avenue has been desig-

A south Ottawa community association president is worried about the traffic implications of the city’s move to allow “traditional main street” buildings along the north section of Bronson Avenue – a major artery for motorists coming from the south end. Hunt Club Community Organization president John Sankey says he was surprised by one of the changes

Bronson Avenue was reconstructed in 2012 and 2013 as an arterial road, but now a south-end community association president is worried the road’s function as a traffic thoroughfare is threatened by a city plan to allow more businesses along Bronson’s north end.

nated as a traditional main street in the Official Plan since 2003, he said – the rezoning exercise just makes sure everything matches up. If a property owner came to the city with a request to put a business in on Bronson, that owner would have to pay $15,000 to file a major rezoning application, Miguelez said, even though adding businesses to Bronson is a city goal set out under that Official Plan designation. “By putting in the zoning, nothing is going to change overnight,” Miguelez said. “The street will evolve as people find opportunities.” But Sankey says if businesses start cropping up along the northern section of Bronson, it will lead to slower traffic due to more motorists stopping and turning to access those enterprises. Allowing more businesses on Bronson also concerns the Dalhousie Community Association, but for different reasons. That group says allowing more businesses to go up along Bronson will threaten the vitality of existing commercial strips nearby on Somerset Street West and Gladstone Avenue. “Commercializing this will disperse the vitality of Gladstone and Somerset, both of which struggle with a considerable vacancy rate in existing commercial properties,” community association vice president Eric Darwin wrote in a letter to the planning committee. “We feel we are running the very real risk of having too much commercial zoning that cannot be viably supported.” Michael Powell, the association’s president, said the group would be happy to see a change that would allow commercial uses on the ground floor of buildings, but not in a way that decimates its character as a residential area. Overall, the zoning review was too broad and didn’t involve consultations that drilled down to inform and consult property owners and residents it will affect, Powell said. He said he hoped to see the planning committee defer a vote on the matter when it was set to consider the zoning review recommendations on Nov. 25, after this newspaper’s deadline.

Association looking to fill executive positions Vanier residents with parks and recreation, transportation, fundraising interests wanted Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

The Vanier Community Association is looking for passionate residents to join its team. The group, recently lost two board members due to job relocations, and the loss has left the association’s parks and recreation committee without a leader. “We need to keep the good work of what we do going,” said Kirsten Duke, president of the association. The group represents the community and said it strives to promote positive initiatives and contributions of Vanier residents. The association’s bylaws state the group can have between eight to 12 board members. Currently, there are 10 sitting board members. Board members typically serve a two-year term, attend monthly meetings and complete committee work, both in person and electronically. Applicants interested in portfolios related to parks and recreation, transportation and

Main Street rebuild to cause major traffic disruptions Northbound traffic to be detoured during construction project Laura Mueller

Laura.mueller@metroland.com

Motorists can expect significant traffic impacts when Main Street is reconstructed over the next two years to replace century-old water and sewer infrastructure. Plans revealed at an open house on Nov. 20 show the main artery in Old Ottawa East will be closed to northbound traffic between Greenfield and Riverdale avenues in the first phase of construction starting

next spring. There will be one northbound lane available for local traffic only from Riverdale to Clegg Street. In the second construction phase, no northbound traffic at all will be allowed on Main between Greenfield and Riverdale. The open house on Nov. 20 was well-attended and people had a lot of questions, said John Dance, president of the Old Ottawa East Community Association. “The construction will be very disruptive but it’s the price we have to pay to have modern water and sewer lines and a safe, friendly street,” Dance said. The construction will lead to a host of important and longawaited improvements for the neighbourhood, Dance said.

Main Street itself will get the addition of bicycle lanes in the form of raised cycle tracks – a useful addition as the community just outside the downtown swells with the development of 10 hectares of institutional land formerly occupied by the Oblate fathers, Dance said. The street rebuilding is also creating an opportunity for the city and the National Capital Commission to work together to create a safe pedestrian crossing at Colonel By Drive and Clegg by adding a traffic signal. It’s something residents in the area have been requesting for 30 years, Dance said. The Brantwood Memorial Gates, which are on their last legs, will also be rebuilt as part of the project, Dance said. But right now, the focus is on the short-term pain that will

result in the long-term gain. “There remain lots of questions and issues but from what we’ve seen so far city staff (has) been accommodating in trying to minimize adverse impacts on residents and businesses,” Dance said. The construction is set to wrap up in the summer of 2017, but the duration of each construction phase hasn’t been determined. Final plans will be presented at another open house in the spring, once a contractor is hired. The northbound restrictions are not the only snarls for drivers. Sections of Main Street at its north and south ends – between Hawthorne and Lees Avenue and between Riverdale and Clegg – will be reduced to one lane travelling in each direction.

Only local traffic is planned to be allowed on the south section of Main, from the Smyth Road side of the McIlraith Bridge to around Elliot, and the north block between Greenfield and Colonel By. Northbound bus detours are still being determined and the city is asking for suggestions from the public. Utility work

Drivers heading downtown will either be rerouted west on Clegg either to Glenora Street, Hazel Street and Echo Drive, or onto Colonel By Drive, depending on whether the National Capital Commission gives its permission for the second option. Drivers will then head west on Graham to reconnect with Main Street.

Some construction is already underway related to utilities. Bell Canada is replacing its underground ducts. The work involves removing the surface above the duct, which includes sidewalks, grass and roadway in some areas. Temporary lane reductions have already begun between Hawthorne and Greenfield, but long-term lane closures were set to begin on Nov. 22. One lane in each direction will be closed between Lees and Clegg due to the work being done through the winter under snowy conditions, according to Josée Vallée, the city’s project manager for Main Street. Temporary asphalt will be used to patch up the work until the full construction project begins.

Thousands of children and their parents lined sidewalks in the city’s downtown to catch a glimpse of the parade. Organized by the Ottawa Professional Firefighters Association, the leadup to the parade includes the collection of toys for distribution to deserving kids before Christmas. As in previous years, the parade wound down Wellington Street, before turning down Bank Street and Laurier Avenue.

Trivia buffs come together for brain teasers, children’s cause Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

As question after question appeared on screen, Dave Desabrais and his teammates spoke quietly to one another and wrote their answers down on paper. As the correct answers were read aloud at the end of one of the 10-question rounds, Desabrais grinned. “I think we got two wrong in that round,” he said. For the Riverside Pub trivia team, having a perfect score at the end of the 20th-annual World Trivia Night on Nov. 21 at the EY Centre wasn’t quite as important as being able to come together as friends for a night out, and in support of a children’s charity. “We’re not that good at the trivia side of it,” said the Barrhaven resident, a patron of the south Ottawa pub who joined its trivia team 12 years ago. The pub, however, has been taking part in the largest live trivia team competition in North America – possibly the world – since it was started 20 years ago by the Kiwanis Club of Orléans. By raising more than $4,800, the recent trivia night marked the eighth consecutive year the Riverside Pub team collected the most money for the Children’s Aid Foundation of Ottawa. Overall, the night brought in more than $42,000 for the charity, which took over operation of the event two years after it began and grew it into a major fundraiser that recently brought together 1,400 people on 140 teams. In the past 20 years, trivia night has raised about $960,000, and every year the foundation gives $5,000 to the Kiwanis Club, which is still involved. “It’s 20 years of fun and

20 years of providing hope – that’s the way I look at it,” said Walter Noble, executive director of the foundation. On the trivia side of things, the Trong Nguyen Memorial World Trivia Night Championship trophy went to the Nerd Alert team this year, after a three-team tie-breaker. There was big prize money at stake for those who are serious about trivia. Scotiabank provided $10,000 in prizes, and matched up to $5,000 in raffle ticket proceeds. “There’s teams that have been there from day one, and they are there to win,” said Noble. For others, the night is just a lot of fun. “It really centres around the cause,” he said. “In the end it’s all about fun and raising money for the Children’s Aid Foundation and the kids.” Those dollars have helped the charity provide post-secondary college and university bursaries, which assist an average of 45 young people a year in paying for tuition at Algonquin College, the University of Ottawa and Carleton University, and elsewhere in Ontario and beyond. “This year we just expanded it to cover vocational short-term – three-, fourmonth – training programs,” Noble said, adding these can lead directly to employment.

The bursaries help young people who haven’t had the best start in life. “Education is key to leading a successful life and really in the end it’s breaking the cycle,” he said. World Trivia Night funds also send kids to camp, and support families struggling to pay for recreation costs for their kids as well as essential items such as baby clothing and mattresses. “It’s just a really fun night and the charity is fantastic,” Desabrais said. “The two things combined just keep bringing us back year after year. “They do so much good work,” he said of the foundation. While some teams practise prior to the competition, the Riverside Pub crew doesn’t go that far. Rather than try to guess what some of the categories of questions might be, the team members instead focus on generating funds for the charity. “We spend a lot of time raising money. We just know a lot of very generous people,” said Desabrais. “The Riverside Pub itself, it’s a small place, but the pub supports so many different charities it’s unbelievable. “Almost any gathering at the pub, or event, turns into raising some money for charity.”

Please Help This Teen Find a Permanent Family As the holiday season approaches in Ottawa, one local teen is looking for a special gift, the gift of family. Taylor is your average high-school-aged teenager. He loves sports, music, video games and hanging out with his friends. He’s a great athlete who takes sports very seriously, and a decent student who is looking for stability at home that will help him thrive at school and beyond. Taylor is looking for a family that likes doing things together, including dinners, watching movies, family nights and going on trips. He’d be more than happy to become a big or younger brother in his new family, and if a house has dogs, he’s all for it and can even take them out running with him! Taylor is at an age where he’s seeking some independence, but wants to create a lifelong bond with a family who can help guide him through the rest of his youth and into adulthood. Anyone who joins Taylor in his journey will be rewarded with a warm, bright and funny kid who really values the people in his life and is very loyal to them.

The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 638 Kanata.

Taylor has an attachment to the Stittsville/ Kanata area that we would love to maintain. He also has ties to his birth mother and grandparents in the Ottawa area and wants to keep those connections alive in his life.

Thanks all volunteers and local businesses for their support of the 2014 Poppy and Remembrance Campaign. Please check outour website for further clarification.

WaterAid aims to boost Canada’s clean water Organization formerly known as WaterCan officially joins international group Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

A new made-in-Canada charity is looking to increase its international reach to help the less fortunate get access to clean water. As part of a fundraising launch gala, WaterCan, a charity which provides the clean drinking water, sanitation and hygiene education to some of the world’s poorest people, announced it would become WaterAid’s exclusive Canadian member in July 2013. According to the charity, joining WaterAid makes it possible for the charity to magnify its scope and impact of the help it aims to do. WaterAid works in 26 countries across Africa, Asia and the Pacific region. The gala, held at the National Arts Centre on Nov. 18, officially marked WaterAid’s launch in Canada. The charity’s honorary president Margaret Trudeau attended the gala to support the launch and fundraiser. “We are so blessed in Canada, but

how can we make a peaceful planet unless we are all on an even playing field?� Trudeau said. “Women’s health and education is what’s going to make a difference in helping people overcome poverty. But millions of women spend hours every day collecting water that isn’t safe to drink.� Trudeau recently travelled to Mali, where she said one in four people have no access to clean water and 22 per cent of the population has access to sanitation facilities. “The women I met in Mali got up at 2 a.m. to walk to a water point three kilometres away as the wells would quickly get used up during the day,� Trudeau said. “Without clean water, children don’t stand a chance. One woman I met had 14 children and nine of them died in her arms.� Trudeau added water and sanitation can transform lives. “The village we visited where WaterAid had worked to helped bring clean water was thriving,� she said. “The children were going to school, the women were growing vegetables,

Wicked Garage restoration facility in Greely will host a car-themed art show on Nov. 29. Submit an event, Comment on a story, Submit a photo, video or article for consideration

Wicked Garage pairs art, classic cars at Greely show Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

We’ve all heard of garage bands, but garage art? That’s what three classic car buffs hope to showcase at a pop-up art show inside their restoration headquarters on Nov. 29. Photographer Joe Aragona and artist Amie Talbot will show off their car-themed art inside Wicked Garage in Greely for one night only at Art on Wheels, a new art show that begins at 7 p.m. The show will marry the creative endeavours of the garage, which restores classic and antique cars, with two artists who transfer the beauty of cars to paper. “We’re doing this event to help these two artists help get

themselves known,” said Roger Grenon, one the garage’s three owners. “These artists have created unique and interesting artwork in two different mediums that capture the art of the car.” Aragona’s photos range from portraits of the greats to scenes of rusted-out relics. They “capture the gleam of chrome accents and the dance of light across the highly-polished curves of sculpted fenders on luminous dye-infused aluminum prints,” according to Grenon. Talbot works in pencil crayon to capture the light and life of antique and exotic cars in realistic detail. Along with the artwork, several cars currently undergoing restoration, will be on display. That could include Depres-

sion-era Cadillacs and Fords, several Corvettes and even a red 1973 Bricklin, a futuristic-looking car made in New Brunswick. Art shows are not new for Wicked Garage – they’re just not usually inside and surrounded by snow. For the past three years the garage has hosted a summer open house that sees between 600 and 1,000 people. Local artists set up on the lawn. But this is the first time the garage has brought the show inside to mingle with the cars under restoration. “It makes for an interesting backdrop,” Grenon said. “We have a really unique garage.” The garage is located at 1344 Barfield Rd. in Greely. Admission is free.

Local author kickstarts first novel with funding campaign Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

There’s little North Gower author Molly O’Connor hasn’t published – short stories, a memoir, children’s books – and now she hopes to add a novel to that list. To help her reach her goal, O’Connor has launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise nearly $3,000 so she can self-publish her 65,000word piece of young adult fiction as an e-book. The novel, called When Secrets Become Lies, follows a 16-year-old girl named Philippa into the world of gaming and a quest to discover her true identity. The story weaves back and forth between following Philippa’s parents across Canada on a year-long exodus in the 1980s, and Philippa herself as she comes of age in 2003, after her parents are killed and she discovers there’s no record of her birth. “I was looking for a theme and it

came to me that it would be a rather difficult thing if you had no idea where you came from,” O’Connor said. Philippa is a computer whiz and into gaming – an unconventional choice for a female character, given the ongoing problems for women working in the game development industry, who have faced discrimination and harassment, particularly online. But O’Connor said her main character’s hobbies and interests weren’t motivated by politics. “As I’m evolving my character, Philippa and her best friend are into computers and they’re gaming, and they’re such whizzes it was a natural that they would want to make the games themselves,” she said. O’Connor has had her short stories published in several Chicken Soup anthologies and magazines, and she has published her own set of short stories and even a children’s book. She wrote her own memoirs as

well. The decision to self-publish her first novel is partly guided by the fact that the formal publishing industry is increasing hard to break into, O’Connor said. But she also felt that, as an ebook, her story would be as marketable as ever using new social media tools. “I think I have the means to promote it, so I see it as a variable route to go,” she said. Asking the community for help is another way to get people involved, she added. “It gives the investor a sense of ownership and I want that very much for that to be part of my campaign,” O’Connor said. If she can raise the $2,875 she’s asking for by her deadline on Saturday, Dec. 20, O’Connor said the book will be available by February.

Norman Johnston Alternate Program garden connecting the community Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - Students and staff from Norman Johnston Alternate Program, residents from Blackburn Lodge Seniors Residence and Children’s Universe Daycare staff and children celebrated a successful first year of the school’s gardens. The Norman Johnston school received a grant to build the gardens in the spring and woodworking students built all the planters. Over the summer, teacher volunteers, lodge residents and daycare children helped water the garden. The three groups often partner for

different activities and holiday celebrations. Three students, Cameron Jette, Victoria Van Leeuwen, and Justice Shanks, organized the celebration as their food and nutrition class project. About 25 students have been able to integrate the garden into the food and nutrition class since it was built. Vegetables were picked and blanched over the summer to prepare food served and cooked during the school year. Students prepared soups and garlic bread as a thank you to the volunteers who helped over July and August when school wasn`t in session. `They watered and weeded

and helped us. They did a lot this summer,” Justice said. “This is to show that we appreciate all their help.” Besides food, the students organized games, such as squash bowling, which integrated vegetables. The first year of the garden program has gone well, said teacher Emily MacDuff. “It was a very fruitful year,” she said. She said the school members hope to double the garden’s size next year. A potential project includes building a native studies healing garden, which would be used to grow sage for all the school board’s smudging ceremonies.

Hundreds expected to breakfast with Santa erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Erin McCracken/Metroland

Lesia Gilbert and her sons Brayden, dressed as a little Santa, and Riley, dressed as an elf, are ready for the Christmas season ahead of the Riverside South Community Association’s 11th-annual Breakfast with Santa and evening sleigh rides on Dec. 6. photographer to take pictures of Santa.� The event is so well attended each year that organizers were hoping to move the 2014 breakfast to St. Francis Xavier Catholic High School, which has more room. While that was not possible, Gilbert has her fingers crossed that will go ahead in 2015. “We’re hoping to expand because we always have a waiting list,� said Gilbert, who has taken part in the Christmas celebration for the past seven years. Also on Dec. 6, but in the evening, the festivities will

continue with free sleigh rides at the community centre, located at 4310 Shoreline Dr. There is room for 50 people per time slot since two horsedrawn wagons will be used. Registration is required for the rides, available between 5:30 and 8:30 p.m. “It’s something fun for the kids. They can go around and see the lights and they can sing carols on the sleigh ride,� Gilbert said. “I think it’s a traditional Christmas-type thing that you don’t really get too many places.� The event also serves as an important fundraiser for the Toy Mountain toy drive,

Breakfast with Santa in Riverside South is not only a hot meal, but also a hot-ticket item. “People come out every year,� said organizer Lesia Gilbert, who volunteers as treasurer and events coordinator with the Riverside South Community Association, which is once again putting on the event with a lot of community support. Twenty-four hours after registration opened last week for the 11th-annual event on Dec. 6 at the Rideauview Community Centre, the first sitting of the breakfast at 9 a.m. was sold out. The second sitting at 10:35 a.m. was also expected to be popular. There are more than 200 seats available during each sitting. The hot meal this year will feature pancakes prepared by Gabriel Pizza staff and an association volunteer, sausages cooked by Broadway Bar & Grill, and there will be clementine oranges, mini donuts, juice and coffee to round out the breakfast. The food is being provided by Moncion’s Independent Grocer in Riverside South. “Then you go down the hall and there’s Santa’s grotto,� Gilbert said of the decorated room where Santa will be handing out small gifts to children. “We have Santa Claus and we’ll have a local

her Toy Mountain Angels. “I think it is absolutely fantastic the way the neighbours and the businesses in our community can come together to do stuff like this,� she said. “I absolutely love Christmas. I think it is the best holiday of the year, and I hate to think that there are any kids out there who don’t get to experience Christmas just because their families have a bad situation,� said Gilbert. Riverside South businesses are again rallying to support the community toy drive this year, and have so far pledged about $4,000. To help Gilbert stretch the donated dollars further, Toys “R� Us and Moncion’s have offered to give the association 10 per cent off when she purchases toys at those locations with the donated funds, and My Toy Shop in Manotick will give Gilbert 20 per cent off. “It’s absolutely wonderful to see,� she said of the community’s generosity.

which helps ensure childrenin-need receive presents at Christmas time. Those who attend the breakfast are asked to bring a new, unwrapped toy for the toy drive. New this year, residents unable to go to the celebratory meal can drop off toy donations the evening before on Dec. 5 outside Moncion’s at 671 River Rd. “We’ve always had a Toy Mountain drive at the event, but last year I decided to find a way to make it even bigger because we really have a neighbourhood of haves,� she said. “I think that we can give back. I think we’re really fortunate in our neighbourhood.� Gilbert asked local businesses last year to donate a fixed amount or pledge an amount per toy that residents donate during the breakfast. “Last year, residents brought in 165 toys, and I walked into Toys “R� Us with $1,465 to buy more toys,� said Gilbert. For their generosity, Gilbert calls participating businesses

One cent sale helped prepare for long winter ahead

M

other had counted her egg money at least four times. It sat all night in little mounds at the end of the kitchen table, just where she had left it when we had gone to bed. Beside it was a sheet of white paper, and the fullpage ad out of the Renfrew Mercury. Mother’s list was long, and although there wasn’t a thing on it that caused me the least bit of excitement, what did get me all in a state of anticipation, was the fact that we would be going into Renfrew to Ritza’s Drug Store, where I could browse the perfume counter and use the little sample dip-stick to dab on a bit of Evening in Paris, my very favourite. It was the Rexall One Cent Sale, which happened twice a year, and now it was late in the fall, and the Renfrew Mercury showed a

MARY COOK Memories full page of everything from tooth powder, to rubbing alcohol, to something called “pills for pale people.” These were not the same as Lydia Pinkham’s Pink Pills for Pale People, according to my older sister Audrey. No, everything on the onecent sale had to bear the label “Rexall.” And it was Audrey, so much smarter than I was, who explained how the sale worked. She told me in the simplest of terms. If you bought something that cost

a dollar, you got another of the exact same thing for a cent, so you would end up with two, for a dollar and one cent. No wonder Mother was making a list as long as your arm. Just to be sure Mother had enough money to cover all the things on her list, she had Everett slaughter four good, fat chickens, and gather a couple dozen eggs, all of which she would peddle off to her good customers in Renfrew before we hit the

drug store. Ritza’s Drug Store was packed to the gunnies by the time we got there, and with her change purse bulging from her egg money, and what she was able to scrounge from selling the few chickens and eggs, Mother was ready to do business. There was Aunt Bertha, Mrs. Beam, Cecil’s mother Mrs. Briscoe, and even Miss Crosby my teacher at the Northcote School, all taking advantage of this wondrous of bargains. I purposely didn’t watch what Mother was buying. It was far more exciting to see her unpack it on the kitchen table when we got home, when I was looking at it for the first time. Mother and I carried the big brown paper bags out to the buggy. It seemed to me she had bought everything in the ad that filled a full

page in the Renfrew Mercury. She lined everything up in rows, and to make sure she hadn’t been cheated, which was highly unlikely, as she stroked each item off her long list. There were two of everything. There were the two green tins of tooth powder. Tooth powder was a real treat. We usually used baking soda, which I hated with a passion. Everything was in either a green tin, a green box, or a green paper bag. That seemed to be the colour of the Rexall One Cent Sale. The exception was the little stack of foolscap pads. They were bright pink, and I knew who they would be for -- my brother Emerson would lay claim to them. He spent hours drawing pictures of glass buildings, houses that were made of glass cubes.

We thought him pretty strange, but Mother thought he was a genius and would grow up to be someone famous. So the pink pads were for him. There were green bottles of cough medicine, pain pills, even liniment for the horses. All in twos: full price for one, and the second for a cent. The kitchen table was a sea of green when Mother got everything laid out in rows. And then she took her change purse out and sorted the few coins that were left. It had been a good day. Not only had she bought all the necessities to see us through the long winter ahead, she had money left over to put back into the egg-money sugar bowl in the cupboard. It had indeed been a good day. And I still smelled of Evening in Paris to boot.

• 15 ml (1 tbsp) vegetable oil • 500 g (1 lb) lean stewing beef, cut into two-centimetre (3/4inch) pieces • 2 onions, chopped • 2 medium carrots, chopped • 1 sweet red pepper, chopped • 2 cloves garlic, minced • 45 ml (3 tbsp) sweet, hot or smoked paprika • 10 ml (2 tsp) caraway seeds,

lightly crushed • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) each of salt and pepper • 50 ml (1/4 cup) tomato paste • 2 l (8 cups) beef stock • 3 potatoes, peeled and diced • chopped fresh parsley Preparation

In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Cook the beef until it’s

browned and remove it to a plate. Stir in the onions, carrots, red pepper and garlic into the pan and cook until the onion is slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Return the meat to the pan. Stir the paprika, caraway seeds, salt and pepper into the meat, coating evenly. Stir in the tomato paste. Add the stock, cover the pan and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 1-1/2 hours. Add the potatoes and return to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes. Ladle into soup bowls and garnish with parsley.

Proud grandfather of Gianna, Carter, Levon, and Brady. He is survived by his sisters Lynn and Tasma, and by his brothers Rodney (Dale), Roger, Jamie (Patti), Monty (Shelley), and Shawn (Pam). He will be missed by many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Randy was an outdoor enthusiast, karaoke specialist, an avid deer hunter, euchre and pool player. He was very active in the Stittsville Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion. He treasured his time with his friends at the Main Street Pub, and at Karaoke at Duffy’s in Richmond. Randy embraced life to the fullest on his own terms. If you were a friend of Randy’s, you were friends for life.

A new campaign is calling on residents to light the city hall Christmas tree this year. The Caring and Sharing Exchange’s latest campaign, the Caring Christmas Tree, encourages residents to purchase a light or a string of lights for the city hall Christmas tree to help raise funds for individuals and families in need this holiday season. At a cost of $5 per light, members of the community can help light up the Caring Christmas Tree. The first set of lights for the campaign was placed on the tree on Nov. 14. As more funds are raised, different sections of the tree will be lit, leading up to the final lighting ceremony on Dec. 17. A string of lights is $25 for six or $100 for a string of 25. Cindy Smith, the executive director of the Caring and Sharing Exchange, said the goal is to raise at least $25,000 with the Caring Christmas Tree campaign. The money will be used to provide Christmas food and gift hampers or store vouchers to help people purchase gifts for family members. The organization says the funds will be combined with other donations given to the organization in an effort to assist as many people in the community as possible. “Last year, we were very proud to provide assistance to 16,725 people in the Ottawa community,” Smith said. “Unfortunately on Christmas day, we were still left with a waiting list of nearly 3,000. Our hope is that this new initiative will help us bridge that gap.” The Caring and Sharing Exchange operates the Christmas Exchange, a
