A place to work – not live or play Studies show north Kanata’s economic impact and what it is lacking Adam Kveton
adam.kveton@metroland.com
According to a pair of studies commissioned by the Kanata North Business Improvement Area, Ottawa’s “Silicon Valley
North” does one thing very well, and that’s make money. But it’s missing things such as affordable housing for its young workers, and a place for them to unwind. That’s what members of the Kanata North BIA were told just after their annual general meeting on Nov. 25. See STUDIES, page 4

First Canadian Christmas Liza Mcmanus and her daughters Saffron and Ella have their aunt take a photo of them in front of the newly lit up tree by the Glen Cairn Tennis Club on Nov. 26. It was the first Canadian Christmas tree Liza and her daughters have ever seen, after moving from the Philippines. They saw snow for the first time a few days earlier.

City ready to welcome refugees: Watson
Look inside for the
Mayor calls on feds for market-rent cash
In Your Community Newspaper*
Ottawa is ready to welcome anywhere from 800 to 2,000 refugees in two weeks time, said Mayor Jim Watson on Nov. 26. Watson said the city has been in talks with private landlords and had been looking at some cabins in Kanata and the Uplands military base as temporary housing solutions. He said it’s tough to make concrete plans without a de-

finitive number from the federal government, adding that money from higher levels of government will be important to pay the market rents. Watson ruled out social
housing as anything but a very temporary solution. “The waiting list for social housing in the city is 9,000 people long,” he said, adding that refugees would be eligible to be added to the list. Watson said he would meet
with the Refugee 613 co-ordinating group next week. The mayor will host a forum at city hall on Dec.1 at 5 p.m.to bring together residents and community groups who wish to help with resettlement.

Studies ask ‘What would we lose if Kanata North wasn’t there?’ The AGM took place at the Marshes Golf Club. Preliminary results of an economic impact study and a market gap analysis were revealed. The studies, commissioned by the BIA, were done by Doyletech, which created an “exhaustive” database by “literally visiting every building in Kanata North to deter-

mine residencies, floor space, etc.” Combining that information with existing data and performing dozens of interviews, the company fed the information into its own economic impact model to determine “What would we lose if Kanata North wasn’t there?” The results seem to prove the BIA’s current slogan: success happens here.

Doyletech analyst Rick Clayton, who presented the results, asked attendees if they believed that. “Well, by the time I’m finished, you damn well should,” he said. That’s because, when the company projected north Kanata’s annual economic impact, including money generated through direct, indirect and induced means, the area generates a total of $7.8 billion annually. “It is a huge number,” said Clayton. But he said it is even more impressive on a per capita basis. With about 30,600 people employed directly by north Kanata business as well as those with jobs impacted by those businesses, $255,000 is generated per worker, said Clayton. According to Stats Can, Canada’s average rate is $85,000 per worker. Though these kinds of numbers are not unprecedented, especially in mining regions, Clayton said those areas include large and expensive equipment, whereas the north Kanata area is very efficient in terms of equipment required, as the only thing that’s usually needed is a computer.

The market gap analysis was not as rosy, said Clayton. There are some gaps in business infrastructure, with interviews showing there is a need for enhanced fibre capacity to the downtown Ottawa core, C++ and coders in general, a rapid turn-around prototype house and cloud services. However, the bigger gaps are in social options and general infrastructure.

The BIA also announced during its meeting that there will be a “modest levy increase of $25,000,” noted the success of the first TEDx Kanata event earlier this year and emphasized its plans to market north Kanata to more businesses and investors.

Clayton said the numbers generated from the study are conservative, and said the crowd should be confident in them, adding, “Doyletech does not do propaganda.” The BIA and businesses in the area hope to use the information to leverage greater government support and attract other investors.
Access to light rail transit, better connections to the airport and a bridge to Aylmer were identified as gaps, as well as things such as better restaurants, places for afterhours activities and nearby waterfront development. Interviews also showed a need for housing at a variety of price points and lifestyles which would allow for young workers to live in Kanata rather than commute in from elsewhere. “Kanata North is a place

Senators first captain now alumni president Adam Kveton
adam.kveton@metroland.com
The Senators very first captain, Laurie Boschman, is returning to the helm once again, this time as the president of the Ottawa Senators alumni. The announcement was made in mid-November, with Boschman taking over from defenceman and 15-year NHL veteran Brad Marsh. Like his predecessor, Boschman spent one year playing for the Senators during the expansion team’s first season in 1992. That finished up Boschman’s 16-year career in the NHL, but, since then, he has remained in Ottawa. Being from Western Canada, the plan was to return
west again after his stint with the Sens, but a second year spent in Ottawa turned into a third and a fifth he said. “We just sort of felt that it was a nice fit and we love the community. It’s a beautiful area to live,” he said. Currently living in Stittsville, Boschman has continued to give back to the community as a Senators alumnus since the group was founded. With a chance to lead the Senators once again, Boschman said, “I’m just delighted to be able to provide some leadership in the initiatives that we are going to undertake in the future and just to build on what has been established already through the leadership of Brad Marsh.” “I feel really good about
Laurie stepping into that role and becoming the new president for our alumni,” said Senators president Cyril Leeder. “Timing is good. We’ve go some new guys that are joining the alumni that haven’t been in the past, and so having Laurie at the helm, I think it’s a good time for that.” Though the alumni group has yet to determine exactly what new initiatives it plans to undertake, Boschman said he is looking to have the alumni help with the Senators Grow the Game initiative that works to support community hockey clubs and inspire more participation in the game. “That may sound strange in a region like Ottawa be-

cause it is hockey country,” said Boschman. “But we still want to continue to help out maybe in areas where people can’t afford to play hockey because it’s expensive, and maybe because we have some new immigrants to Canada. “Maybe we can introduce the great game of hockey to them … through lending our expertise as former players to help some of these young people learn some of the techniques and the skills of the game and learning to hopefully love the game,” he said. START OF THE TEAM
That may sound similar to his role as the first Senators captain – working to instill a passion for the new team in
the National Capital region. However, Boschman said his main role in those days was focused more internally. “I think the goal was just to try and make sure, as an older player, that we didn’t get on each other’s backs too much because we knew it was going to be a long year. “We weren’t going to win a lot and we knew that right from the start. So I think you wanted to make sure that there was kind of harmony and unity within the room, because you knew it was going to be, professionally, very difficult,” said Boschman. “So now, 20 plus years later, as a former player, I think that the hockey club has done a tremendous job in being a competitive hockey
team in the National Hockey League. They’ve come close to winning the Stanley Cup. They’ve had some very good teams through the years.” They’ve also done good in the community, he said – something that he has been happy to continue doing, while playing some hockey from time to time as well. Some of the alumni group’s upcoming events include a training camp and hockey match against 15 Canadian military veterans through the Soldier On program from Dec. 13-16, a game against coaches in West Carleton in the new year, and celebrating Hockey Day in Canada with a game on the canal in January. That is, if the weather permits.
Notice of Commencement of Transit Project Assessment Process Confederation Line East Extension The Project The City of Ottawa is developing a plan to extend and expand the City’s existing Light Rail Transit network.

6 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, December 3, 2015
All I want for Christmas is an activity monitor I love my husband. I should – we’ve been married 10 years now. But I’m also jealous of him. As we ride the GoKart of life into our forties, he’s as fit as he’s ever been. Me? Let’s just say I’m rounder in bits. Recently, I joined a gym. And if you’ve been a loyal follower of this column – thank you – you’ll know that I tend toward various fitness fads in the attempt to make my bits slightly less rounded. Over the years, I’ve taken up running, yoga and relaxation, flirted with the idea of a personal trainer, walked and walked and walked. My body has been good to me. When I commit myself to daily exercise, I tend to drop a few pounds and tone up a wee bit. My latest fad is the $9-permonth gym I’ve joined. I’ve gone full-on with this one. The only other time I joined a gym was back in 2013, when my kids were playing a sport at the community centre. I mistakenly thought I could work out at city facilities while they bounced balls in the gym next door. As with many kids’ activities, I was told I actually had to sit my rather round butt on a chair for the full 90 minutes and watch them do basketball drills. The gym pass largely went to waste.

I always tell myself I’ll go just for 20 minutes and end up getting in my zone and not wanting to leave. In fact, I’d probably spend half a day there if I didn’t have

other commitments. I typically do about 500-600 calories worth of cardio on various machines and a weight workout for 30-45 minutes. Out of 35 days, I have been to the gym 32 times. The three days I missed the gym, I was angry. So, yes, I’m fanatical. But is it paying off ? Well, the short answer is, yes. But here’s the thing – and I’m sorry if this discourages you: I’m rigorously working to burn 600 calories per day (and if you think that’s easy, it’s not). I’m eating at least 500 calories less per day than I did previously (with a focus on fruit and vegetables and healthy proteins), I’m killing myself with my ab workout, and I still look like I’m three months’ pregnant. My husband, on the other hand, doesn’t have a gym membership. He’s slim and muscular and he likes to drink a beer after work and indulge in chocolate. And he’s older than me. What’s the difference? He moves all day long. His job has

him walking around a campus, using heavy tools, lifting things. When he’s at home, he’s constantly on the go as well – he’s folding laundry (God love him); woodworking; raking leaves, or hauling kids up and down stairs. I, on the other hand, sit on my butt most of the day when I’m not at the gym. I sit in just such a way that my belly sticks out, in that threemonths’-pregnant kind of way. I sit in just such a way that my back is arched – especially when I’m concentrating. We know that sitting for extended periods is killing us. We know that standing for extended periods isn’t the answer. And yet, we sit,

we stand, we sit some more. I’m about to start a revolution in my own life. My kids, who are both jealous and intrigued by my new gym membership, set up a boutique gym in my tiny basement office, complete with an ancient rowing machine, a cheap exercise bike and some hand weights. I’m not sure I can type and lift weights at the same time, but I’m hoping I can take a break every hour to do a few reps on the equipment. I’ve asked for one of those fitness trackers for Christmas. I’ll let you know how it goes. In the meantime, I highly recommend that $9-per-month gym.

High standards are a good thing
A
s they continue to look for ways to pinch pennies over at city hall, the latest city auditor general report has been unveiled and it suggests the city could bank some cash by changing the way it goes about clearing snow and maintaining roads during the winter. It seems, according to auditor general Ken Hughes, that the city has set higher standards for snow clearing than the province, and that if the city were to change its standards, significant savings can be had. By changing its standards, what is meant is, of course, lowering those standards. Basically Hughes’ report says that the city should look at how much money it could save by bringing Ottawa’s winter maintenance standards closer to the provincial standards. According to the auditor general, there isn’t any data available to show how much more the city is spending to maintain roads at a higher standard than the province deems necessary. The issue of winter road maintenance and snow clearing was already on the city’s radar before the auditor general’s report last week, as it has contracted consultant KPMG to review the municipality’s winter maintenance program. It is expected
that there will be a report going forward to city council next spring as a result of that review. The provincial standard for clearing residential roads at this time is to have the work done within a 16-to 20-hour window, as compared to the city’s standard of 10 hours. There is also a difference of about two hours when it comes to busier streets, with again, the city being quicker to get to work than the province. Examining ways that the city can save money in how it goes about its business is always a good exercise to undertake, but that doesn’t mean that every possible saving is necessarily a good idea. Is it really a bad thing that the city has higher standards for road maintenance and snow removal during the winter months? Snow removal and road maintenance are, at the end of the day, a safety issue. Should the city really be contemplating lower standards than it has just because others have lower standards? Saving money when it makes sense to do so is always good idea. Saving money at the expense of public safety is something else entirely. Perhaps it is the province that has the wrong standards for winter road maintenance, and not the city.

Yes, there is recognition of important victories that were won. Yes, there is praise for heroic Canadians. What should be celebrated is. But there are also constant and vivid reminders of how horrible war is, how miserable were the trenches in the First World War, how cold and wet and dangerous and souldestroying the whole thing could be. Also, how unreliable was the equipment and how questionable was the judgment of some generals and politicians.

the battlefield to show what is happening back in Canada. War demanded sacrifice at home as well, and it created terrible hardships for those who stayed. It wasn’t all just parades. I saw some young children going through the museum and wondered about that, about what is the proper age for kids to learn about war and how young is too young. At some stage, for sure, young people need to know, both to take pride in their country’s accomplishments and to understand the causes and consequences of war. In that respect, I wondered a bit about the admission fees. It’s not that the visitor doesn’t get his money’s worth. But a $15 charge for an individual or a $36 charge for a family could be a little steep for some. It’s something to think about, for a new government that wants to put more money into culture and the arts.

bringing the proposal to the community to get feedback, and said it is by no means a final plan set in stone. Community members at the meeting, several who live near Insmill, came out strongly against the fenced dog park. “I don’t want it built at all,” said one woman who said her house is right up against the park.

Despite the strong desire voiced to Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson for a fenced dog park in the ward, her pitch to those attending a community meeting drew many negative reviews. Wilkinson showed a preliminary proposal for north Kanata’s first fenced dog park, which, based on city staff input, could be placed at Insmill Park located east of Kanata Avenue and north of Terry Fox Drive. The proposal shows the fenced area taking up a triangular portion of the park just east of the soccer field t the park. The park, like 12 other parks and hydro corridors in the ward, currently allows dogs off leash, provided they remain under their owner’s control. Wilkinson said, once the fenced area is in place, that would be changed at Insmill to only allow dogs off leash within the fenced area. It would also include garbage disposals where dog poop could be placed. Wilkinson explained that she was

Kicked soccer balls ‘could literally kill’ older dog owners: resident Continued from page 9

She said the park is already loud due to people walking their dogs now, and worried that, with the area’s only fenced dog park, the already inadequate parking there will be overwhelmed. She also pointed out that the fence would be surrounding a berm and treed area. “The dogs are going to destroy this,” she said. “Not possibly. They will destroy it.” She suggested that any fenced dog park should be outlined in the planning of future communities so that people are aware of it before moving in. Matt Muirhead, of the Briarbrook and Morgan’s Grant Community Association, agreed that parking in the area is a problem that the city needs to look into regardless of the fenced dog park, but suggested that a wilderness area might be better suited than a community park.
“Thousands and thousands of people want the dog park,” he said.
Thousands and thousands of people want the dog park. MATT MUIRHEAD
Another resident who lives near the park said he, for one, does not. He was concerned that, unless the fence around the dog area is very tall, many soccer balls will end up being kicked into it. “Elderly people and smaller dogs – it could literally kill them,” he said. “I’m definitely not in favour of doing this,” he said, adding that he too finds the current parking situation to be inadequate. Several others at the meeting said they were in
favour of a fenced dog park in north Kanata, but the Insmill location is not the right place for it. Some said the area would not be large and flat enough for dogs to run around, while others said the area should be further from residences. Some suggestions that came out of the meeting included lobbying the NCC for use of some green belt land, speaking with tech entrepreneur Terry Matthews about using some unused space he owns or Wesley Clover Parks land. Community members also suggested using hydro corridors, though Wilkinson said that process could be difficult. While Wilkinson said she currently has enough funds to build the fence outlined in the current proposal, she said nothing has been decided and that she will review the suggestions before holding another meeting, likely in the spring.

ed to two or three dollars for every dollar saved being passed onto the road user. Harley says he also has anecdotal evidence that rural roads bear the brunt of the cost when it comes to delayed repairs. “When you drive on Roger Stevens (Road) in the parts that are maintained by other municipalities it’s a lot smoother ride than when you go on the part that belongs to Ottawa,” he said. City staff said 40 per cent of the city’s road resurfacing money will be allocated to rural roads. Roads that will get upgrades this year include: • Mackey Road from Viola Street to Mccordick Road • Spratt Road from Rideau Road to Earl Armstrong • Third Line Road from Roger Stevens Road to 30 metres north of Lockhead Road West • Russell Road – Rockdale Road to Saumure Road • Old Carp Road from March Road West to Old Second Line Road • Old Stagecoach Road – Dalmeny Road to Stagecoach Road • Firefly Lane to Manotick Main to dead end City council will vote on the budget Dec.9.

City staff asked to review development fees due to declining growth City managers took some tough questions about the $46.5-million planning department budget introduced to the planning committee on Nov. 24. The department won’t see any reduction in employees or $735,000 in overtime allocated to reflect the decline in planning applications. General manager of planning and growth management Michael Mizzi said planning applications have been declining since 2013. There was an average of 48 per month in that year, the next year saw 40 and so far this year the city has seen 34 planning applications per month. “Despite that, we have seen the complexity of the applications go up and the bulk of the overtime hours are due to public consultations,” he said, adding staff will undertake a departmental review in the “short term.” The vagueness of the timeline for the review left some councillors cold. “I think this is something we need more

concrete timelines on,” Kanata Coun. Alan Hubley said Hubley added that he thought a temporary freeze on fees might stimulate growth in the flagging industry. The expected spending to enforce the Ontario Building Code in 2016 is $18.6 million. The city expects to collect $23.3 million in fees. The current reserves for the department would cover two years, something that indicates the city maybe charging too much, Hubley said. Committee chair Jan Harder said it would irresponsible to direct staff to freeze fees without a departmental review first. “Running the city is not an easy thing,” she said. “We have a public that wants less hands in their pockets but we have to be aggressive and appropriate to what our needs are.” Staff will put together a review of building fee services and the planning department’s organizational structure for council by the end of the first quarter in 2016. Council will vote on the budget Dec. 9.

City amends smoke-free bylaw to include water pipes Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
The city is looking to include hookahs and water pipes in the existing smoke-free bylaw. Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri drafted a motion to include water pipes and other nontobacco products in the smoke-free public places and workplace bylaw. Qadri said the change would close gaps in provincial legislation: the Smoke-Free Ontario Act Bill 45, Making Healthier Choices Act, 2015. Rob Cunningham, a senior policy analyst with the Canadian Cancer Society, said he applauds the move. “We know there are health risks with smoking herbal substances, including second-hand smoke,” he said, adding there has been an increase in the popularity of water

pipes among youth. He said the provincial legislation to be introduced in January falls short of dealing with the new technology out there. “People think because they’re not cigarettes it’s OK to smoke them in businesses or at McDonald’s, but that’s not appropriate,” Cunningham said. Qadri said the city showed leadership with its smoke-free policy in 2012, and it was time to make that move with water pipes. The new bylaw would prevent the smoking of water pipes in businesses, and could ultimately lead to a ban that is similar to the one with cigarettes, Cunningham said. “It doesn’t include public places like beaches or parks yet, but it could get there,” he said, adding there’s plenty of research out there to support the need to control the possibility of residents being exposed to secondhand smoke.

The Ottawa Child and Youth Initiative honoured those who help make growing up great at its fifth annual award ceremony on Nov. 23. The initiative, which works with 80 partner agencies and charities to co-ordinate services for the city’s youth, issues a call for nominations each year to honour those who excel in the field. “Our goal is to get together with organizations that have a common interest and help to build capacity for new programs and services,” said Marisa Moher, associate director of the Ottawa Child and Youth Initiative. The initiative works with organizations such as Big Brothers, Big Sisters, Ontario Early Years centres, the Boys and Girls Club and the Youth Services Bureau. “We work together on training and access to re-
sources,” Moher said. Barb MacKinnon, executive director of the Ottawa Children’s Aid Society, said the common goal of all the partner organizations is to foster healthy development for youth of Ottawa. “We have to make sure the service delivery meets the intent of why we are doing it,” she said, adding it is also important to raise awareness about what services are out there. There were eight award recipients at the annual luncheon. Carley Scharf, who works with the Osgoode Youth Association, was given the Engaged and Active Award. Scharf organized a municipal all-candidates meeting just for youth, to introduce them to the 11 candidates running in Osgoode Ward in 2014 and to explain the electoral process. Since she has worked with the association, youth participation has increased 400 per cent, said United Way CEO Michael Allen, who presented Scharf with
her award. There has also been a 150 per cent increase in volunteers. But Scharf doesn’t do it for the awards. “I am greatly humbled by the recognition,” she said. Divya Massilamani was honoured in the Learning and Discovering category for her implementation of a homework club at Carine Wilson Public School. “We really got nominations from all walks of life,” Moher said. Other recipients include: • Safe and Supported – the Queerios • Healthy and Thriving – The Waupoos Foundation • Community Leadership – Community – Zijad Delic Community Leadership – Organization – Franc-Succes Avec Centre des services communautaires Vanier (CSVC) • Community Leadership - Individual – Nancy MacNider • Dr. Dan Offord Excellence Award – Dan Rees

Lebkuchen is a light gingerbread, often cut in heart shapes, decorated and sold in German markets during holiday time. Here’s a simplified version to cut in any shape you like and they’ll keep well for weeks. Preparation Time: 30 minutes Chilling Time: 12 hours Baking Time: eight minutes per batch Makes about two dozen cookies INGREDIENTS
• 1-3/4 cups (325 mL) all-purpose flour • 2 tsp (10 mL) ground ginger • 1 tsp (5 mL) ground cinnamon • ½ tsp (2 mL) each ground nutmeg, allspice, salt and baking powder
• ½ cup (125 mL) lightly packed brown sugar • ½ cup (125 mL) honey • ¼ cup (50 mL) melted butter • 1 Ontario Egg • ½ tsp (2 mL) vanilla • Icing and small candies (optional) PREPARATION
In large bowl, whisk together flour, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, salt, and baking powder. Make well in centre; set aside. In medium bowl, combine sugar, honey, butter, egg and vanilla. With wooden spoon or electric mixer, beat until creamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour into flour mixture; stir just until evenly moist. Knead dough with floured hands; until smooth.
On floured work surface, with floured hands divide dough in half; shape into thick discs and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for 12 hours or until firm. On floured work surface, with floured rolling pin, roll out discs one at a time to ¼-inch (0.5 cm) thickness. If it becomes sticky, dust with flour. Cut into desired shapes using cookie cutters. Place on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake in 325°F (160°C) oven until bottoms are golden brown, 8 to 12 minutes. Transfer to wire rack; let cool. Repeat with remaining dough. Once cool, decorate with different colours of icing as well as small candies, as desired. Store cookies in an airtight container in a cool place up to a month. Foodland Ontario

Holy Trinity theatre to perform murder in black and white Students put on dark comedy Arsenic and Old Lace Adam Kveton
adam.kveton@metroland.com
The question “To be or not to be” has troubled many a Shakespearian character, but in the Holy Trinity Pit Stop Theatre
Company’s latest production, that question is answered with finality by a pair of old Christian sisters with a fondness for renting their rooms. In a departure from the high school theatre group’s usual Shakespeare productions, the students will be performing the 20th century dark comedy Arsenic and Old Lace from Dec. 10-12. Set in the early 1900s, the
play revolves around the main character, Mortimer Brewster, as he deals with his crazy, murderous family, especially his two aunts who have taken to murdering old, lonely men with poisoned elderberry wine. But don’t be too hard on them – they are doing their best to do what’s right, said associate director and Grade 12 student Carl Cachero. “We have two old ladies
CAT OF THE WEEK SCARLET
and they feel bad for these old men who come to rent a room because they are lonely and they are old and they have no family, so as a mercy killing, they would poison them with some arsenic as a kind gesture, in their opinion,” said Cachero. “They have good intentions.” Clearly, for the aunts, the morality surrounding murder is not so black and white as it is for others. But
the play itself will be. All the characters, stage props and furniture will be in rendered in gray scale, even the actors’ make-up, said director Stavros Sakiadis. There will be a few exceptions for dramatic effect, he said. The Elderberry wine, for example, will be in colour, the fire as well, and each character will have one small article of red clothing or jewelry, hinting at
the dark and deadly subject matter. Not to worry, though, said Cachero. The play, although dark in theme, is quite ridiculous with many a laugh expected. Even the choreographed fight scene is meant to be silly and fun. Tickets are between $8-10, with the funds going back into Holy Trinity Catholic High School’s theatre program. For more information, go to trinitypitstoptheatreco.webs.com.

‘This team will be back, ‘:Burris Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Just one drive. That’s all the RedBlacks needed to clinch the team’s first Grey Cup victory in just their second year of existence, quarterback Henry Burris told reporters after the team returned home to Ottawa on Nov. 30 the day after losing the Canadian Football League championship 20-26 to the Edmonton Eskimos in Winnipeg. “From the offensive side it was just disappointing because all we needed was one drive to put ourselves in a position to have a chance to win that game,” Burris said. “That’s pretty much the one sentiment that’s been echoed throughout the entire team.” The team’s arrival at the Ottawa International Airport brought little fanfare. Players and staff emerged from a mid-sized plane at the Esso Avitat and walked a few steps to two waiting coach buses. “The sun actually did rise this morning so life is going to carry on,” said head coach Rick Campbell, who was recently named the CFL’s coach of the year. “When it’s fresh like this you’re disappointed, but there’s so many reasons to be hopeful and excited about the future of RedBlacks football,” he said. “And a lot of it has to do with our fans and
ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND
RedBlacks quarterback Henry Burris speaks with reporters about the team’s loss to the Edmonton Eskimos 20-26 in the Grey Cup after he and his teammates and coaching staff touched down at the Ottawa International Airport on Nov. 30, the day after the game. the city – the whole thing – our players.” Word on the street is quickly spreading about Ottawa as a great place to live and play football, he said. “We’re definitely excited about the future.” When asked if he is secondguessing any of his decisions made for the Grey Cup game, Campbell said it’s typical after a losing a game to re-evaluate, and that the off-season will be spent identifying areas where improvements can be made. The players were scheduled to do medical check-ups and exit interviews in the days following the champion-
ship game “just to make sure where everybody’s at” before they leave town, followed by a re-evaluation and then free agency in the New Year. Fullback Patrick Lavoie said he won’t have anything negative to say during his exit interview. “We’ve got a great team, great group, great locker room here,” he said, adding that players, coaching and game plans were great. “Don’t touch that team. Don’t touch anything.” Burris, meanwhile, said Edmonton did exactly what the RedBlacks have been doing all season, only they made more plays “when it counted the
most.” The opposing team had an incredible front-four that was able to stop the RedBlacks’ runs and keep the pressure on him, Burris said. Despite the defeat, the quarterback pointed to how far the team has come, climbing from 2-16 the previosu season to being “just one drive away from winning the big one.” The team has put the city back on the map. “No longer can we sneak up on people and beat people ... I think we established ourselves as a true contender towards the end of the season,” said Burris, who was named the CFL’s most outstanding player. He also spoke of his pride for his teammates, 95 per cent of whom had never before made it to the Grey Cup. “And for us to be able to come out there and play with that much character and that much poise and composure, and then compete for 60 minutes like that to give ourselves a chance to win, it shows you the true character of what we have in that locker room.” The players, he said, gave their all during the game. Next year will offer the RedBlacks an opportunity to once again go after the title they came so close to securing this year. “This team will be back, I can promise you that,” Burris said, before confirming, “I’ll be back.”

Allan Hubley Positive Change for Kanata South
City Councillor Kanata South Week in Review Sadly we have recently lost a key pioneer of our community - Lorne Weatherall. As the longest serving President of the Kanata Sports Club which has raised millions for amateur sports in our community and helped many families over the years, Lorne helped shaped the community we all hold dear. Lorne was one of the key people behind the scenes making our Christmas parade the success it has been. He worked on the Sports Club’s annual Christmas party where many children went to talk to Santa each year. He was the guy that was willing to help anyone who wanted to make Kanata a family friendly place. When Lorne called to ask you to help with an event, it was considered an honour that he wanted you on his team. Lorne was a legend for his leadership in football in our city and he was a hero to many including myself. I considered him to be one of my best friends and will continue to aspire to help our community as Lorne has instilled in so many of us. We will all have many funny memories of the man who gave so much to make the life of others better and cherish the times we shared. Please join me in thanking his family for sharing such a wonderful person with us for all these years. Rest in peace Buddy.

25,000 gather for climate change march jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
On the eve of the climate change conference in Paris 25,000 people gathered on the lawn of city hall to champion sustainable energy and a clean economy. The 100% Possible Climate Change March on Nov. 29 was organized by Ecology Ottawa and featured speakers such as David Suzuki and Mayor Jerry Natanin of Clyde River, Nunavut. Will Amos, MP for Pontiac, Que., made the trek to Ottawa to participate in the march. “I am just a citizen holding my government accountable for my children and my grandchildren,” Amos said, adding there is hope with the federal Liberal government commitment of $2.6 billion to help developing countries fight climate change and Alberta’s commitment to a carbon tax. The aim of the march was to put pressure on the
federal government to put the country on track to have a 100 per cent clean economy by 2050. Cheryl McNamara, from the Citizens Climate Lobby of Canada – Toronto chapter, said the country needs to have a national price for carbon tax. “That’s the way it can be truly effective,” she said. “It’s nice that certain provinces are moving in that direction, but to really be a deterrent, we need to have rising prices.” McNamara said the lobby will bring its biggest delegation ever to the climate change conference in Paris to put pressure on the federal government to development a plan that includes a 100 per cent clean economy. Margie Gillis, a member of Artists for Peace, said it’s time for a change. “I advocate a responsible life for the future,” she said. “It’s time to make a change.” A statement from Ecology Ottawa says clean, re-
newable energy creates electricity using natural systems such as wind, sun, and water. We can use the energy around us to power cars, heat homes, and sustain communities without creating harmful greenhouse gases. Natanine spoke about the melting ice caps. “Climate change is happening up north in a big way,” he said. “Our ice season is getting shorter.” Ecology Ottawa invited participants from all over. Many activists bussed in from communities such as Mississauga, Toronto, Rimouski and Québec City It’s not only an environmental issue, but an economic one, said Donald Lafleur, of the Canadian Labour Congress. “With enough investment, we can fight climate change and ensure a sustainable future for our children and theirs,” he said. “And we can do it in a way that creates millions of badly needed good, green jobs.”

Family gives back at blood donor clinic Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
When he was just five years old, Jacob Randall was diagnosed with a brain tumour on Nov. 2, 2008. It’s a day his mother, Liliane Hajjar, who was pregnant with her younger son Liam at the time, will remember forever. “He was at CHEO for eight months, it was just awful,” she said, adding she felt helpless. Aside from surgeries and other cancerfighting treatments, Jacob underwent blood transfusions
and required platelets and stem cell treatments in order to fight the disease. “When he needed a transfusion, you never thought about where the blood came from, it was just there,” Hajjar said. So the family wanted to give back to all the people that helped save Jacob’s life. On Nov. 28, seven years after the diagnosis that changed their lives, the family headed to the Carling Avenue Canadian Blood Services blood donor clinic to give back. Even though Jacob has been cancer free for five years, Hajjar
said she remembers how the community came together to help the family from Aylmer. “People raised money, even one guy all the way in Montreal,” she said. Jan Grant, an event co-ordinator with Canadian Blood Services, said the family brought potential donors with them, ready to roll up their sleeves.

“What’s more amazing is the people who were inspired by his (Jacob’s) story,” she said, adding that some people chose to donate or fill out forms for bone marrow matching based on Jacob’s story. Jacob said he wanted to help other kids who are sick, by encouraging people to donate blood.

Ottawa police do not want your money. The department has issued a warning about a recent scam in which callers say they are raising money on behalf of the Ottawa Police Service and ask for credit card numbers. “The Ottawa police would like to remind the public that we do not solicit donations from the public,” the service said in a statement on Nov. 24. “For any company, it’s very rare that they (fundraise) by phone, and if you’re not sure just visit the website or call that organization … to verify,” said Const. Marc Soucy, Ottawa police spokesman. “We would advise not to give money blindly. Do your research before you decide to give to charity or an organization,” he said. Police issued the warning about the scam after fraud investigators began receiving multiple reports from concerned residents in recent weeks about suspicious callers. Soucy said he was not aware of any recent cases in which people turned over their credit card numbers and were bilked of their money. People are encouraged to be vigilant in resisting the fraudsters, who often engage in
high-pressure tactics, Soucy said. “The more they keep you on the line, the more chances they have to get your information and then get some money out of you,” he said. “These people need to be caught.” Scams of this kind are not new during the holiday season. “You get more scams at this time of year because everybody wants to raise money for so-called charities that help benefit the less fortunate,” said Soucy. “And they will use a name that will get people to believe that it’s legit, but it’s not.” The Ottawa police department’s name has been used in the past by fraudsters to try to solicit cash. “We’ve seen it in the past and it’s always at the same time of the year,” Soucy said. Officers with the police organized fraud unit urges anyone who has fallen prey to this scam to contact them and file a report. Anyone with information on this type of fraud is asked to call the fraud section at 613236-1222, ext. 5162, or Crime Stoppers at 613233-8477. For a list of fraud prevention measures, visit the Ottawa police website at this shortened link: ow.ly/V6Vwl.

More Than Singing Submitted
What happens when the blended voices of 40 women singing in four-part harmony join seven tenors and seven basses to sing the sounds of Christmas? Magic. St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Kanata will swell with traditional carols known to all and special music from around the world as the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus (WOLC) joins with invited male voices to bring the joy of Christmas in song. Known for their contribution to the community, the WOLC asks only for the reward of happy smiles from seniors and shut-ins week after week. The residents of Bridlewood Trails Retirement Community joined in singing carols and listened intently as beautiful melodies filled the halls last Sunday. The treasure of music fills hearts with joy – it is a gift, a gift the WOLC love to give. Singing is not all the chorus does though. They learn the story behind each song to better interpret the words. Carol of the Bells was composed by Mykola Leontovych in 1904 with lyrics by Peter J. Wilhousky. The song is based on a Ukrainian folk chant originally celebrating the coming the New Year in April. When Christianity became popular the Carol of the Bells became a Christmas/ New Year song transferred to December/ January. It has been arranged for many different genres and styles of singing – the most popular being a cappella by a mixed four-
voice choir. WOLC will open their performance “Christmas from Around the World” with the mixed voices treating the audience to a powerful presentation of this number. This will put them in the mood for an evening of beautiful sounds. The choruses will present the emotionally beautiful Polish carol, Lulajže, Jezuniu, in an unusual voice arrangement of three-part women’s and three-part men’s voices sung
Enjoying Christmas music is a traditional way to start the season. The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus will perform “Christmas Around the World” Sat. Dec. 5th at 7:00 p.m. and again on Sun. Dec. 6th at 2:30 p.m. at St. Paul›s Anglican Church, 20 Young Rd. in Kanata Now in its fourth year, the WOLC has attracted a loyal audience that looks to this performance to put them in the spirit of this joyous season. Advanced tickets -$15 are available from choir and Chorale members as well as at Gaia Java - 1300 Main St. Stittsville; Kanata Barbershop 2 Beaverbrook Rd., Kanata;, and Robin’s Nest 98 Mill St., Almonte. Tickets at the door are $20.

Q: My husband and I are separating. It is fairly amicable, and we have agreed on how we want to divide our assets and how parenting will work. Can we both see the same lawyer to draft a separation agreement? We would like to keep legal costs to a minimum. Everyone likes to avoid or minimize legal fees. That is always a reasonable goal. However, a separation agreement may be the most important document you sign in your life. Even if you negotiate the agreement without involving lawyers, or perhaps through a mediator, independent legal advice for each party is strongly recommended in all cases.

Parties who negotiate their agreement privately and amicably may overlook certain key issues - things like future retirements, tax considerations of asset divisions, and division of Canada Pension Plan credits. Thus, at some point down the road, they may find the document is incomplete or ineffective. At that point, the cost and inconvenience of amending the agreement could be a problem, but more significantly the parties may find that they are in disagreement about one of the overlooked issues. Part of obtaining independent legal advice is to ensure that not only are the contents of the Separation Agreement effective, but that the agreement as a whole is comprehensive to the situation of the parties.

in English and Polish. This carol is a lullaby and the title means Sleep Little Jesus. The choir will not let the audience sleep though, as they change the pace with a Wreath of Carols, a medley of more common Christmas songs that weaves the colours and sparkle of the season in a quickly moving number. The expertise of the blended voices is to be noted when they perform John Rutter’s Star Carol. Rutter’s compositions are demanding and Robert Dueck, the choir director, expects quality from the voices he leads. However, he also loves to encourage the audience to join their voices and sing along with popular numbers.

From your own point of view, obtaining independent legal advice helps to provide peace of mind, and ensures that you have a thorough understanding of the legal consequences of the Separation Agreement. The agreement is expected to be permanent so the importance of understanding it in full cannot be understated. Furthermore, it is always important that the opposing party have independent legal advice. This makes it much more difficult for them to attack the agreement in the future. In certain circumstances, a court could nullify the agreement if one party did not understand the legal ramifications of what they signed. This is bad for all parties involved, and will in no way limit legal expenses. Independent Legal Advice allows both parties to understand the agreement in full, and to know that they can rely on the permanence of the agreement. Although there is a cost, it often helps to avoid future misunderstandings and disputes.

A.Y. Jackson guys stand up to violence against women adam.kveton@metroland.com
The anti-bullying message can get fairly dry and repetitive in school, but students at A.Y. Jackson have buckled down anew when it comes to violence against women. Teachers at A.Y. Jackson Secondary School suggested to some male students that they start a new all male club called ManUp, which is now gaining steam. Part of the effort involves driving home the impact of violence against women. To that end, the new club presented itself to the school during an assembly on Nov. 16 where Glen Canning, the father of the Rehtaeh Parsons, talked about how his daughter was raped and then shamed and abused online, after which she committed suicide.
The story inspired a rare thing among the normally boisterous assembly crowd, said Anthony Chui, a member of ManUp. Canning got total attention and silence from the crowd, said Chui. “He wasn’t sugar coating anything,” said Scott Heney, another ManUp member. STARTING TO MAN UP
The ManUp initiative began at Longfields Davidson Heights Secondary School in Barrhaven in 2014. It grew out of an effort to show young men that violence against women is a man’s issue because men are often the ones perpetrating that violence. The initiative aims to intertwine the act of standing up to violence against women and bullying with what it means to be a man, said original ManUp

member Ben Noor. ManUp groups have started in some Ottawa schools, including at A.Y. Jackson just a few weeks ago where teachers such as Mathieu Dotzenroth approached some of their male students about starting a group. “Mr. Dotzenroth had a good way of explaining it,” said Chui. “We all have a woman that’s important to us in our life, whether it be a mother, a sister or a girlfriend.” Resolving to join the group really wasn’t a difficult decision, he and other ManUp members said. “I think everyone can agree that stopping violence against women is a good goal,” said Matthew Hills, another member. To that end, the 14 members of the club have taken leadership and violence against women workshops to learn about the issue and how to stand up to their friends and make a change. And to announce the existence of the group, they held an assembly with Canning as main speaker. Some students, such as Heney, heard about Canning and his daughter in the news, but didn’t know the full story. Canning told those at the assembly that his daughter was raped by boys her friends had introduced her to during a party with alco-

Rehtaeh’s sexual assault has not been proven in court, however, two teens were convicted of distributing child pornography. They had taken a picture of one of them having sex with Rehtaeh, then 15, while she vomited out a window. The teens then shared the photo online, which others used to bully Rehtaeh. She took her own life two years later. “I try to make it age ap-
propriate,” said Canning of telling his daughter’s story. “But it’s an awful, terrible story and there is some things that you just can’t sugar coat.” If he did, Canning said it would reduce the impact of the story. “I use the word rape, I use the words sexual assault, cyber-bullying, cyber-terrorizing, abuse … and I say that these young men raped my daughter,” said Canning.
This is based on a firsthand account from someone at the party, Canning has said on his webpage detailing what he has been told. “I think what impacts them the most, of course, is to hear a story of someone losing their child,” he said. The ManUp students said they appreciated Canning’s candour with them and the rest of the school. See REHTAEH, page 36

The National Arts Centre is set to start work on its $110.5-million facelift in December. Construction crews will be putting shovels in the ground earlier than originally anticipated to make sure the work is done by Canada Day 2017 to celebrate the country’s 150th birthday. The upgrades will include building a glass atrium and façade for the Elgin Street entrance, as well as renovating the building’s main banquet room. Performances will go ahead as planned for most productions at the theatre, which will stay open throughout the construction period. Some matinees will have to be cancelled as the work will be done on weekdays from midnight to 2 p.m. “The decision to stay open wasn’t an easy one,” NAC CEO Peter Herrndorf said in a press release. “On the one hand, we were very aware that the work involved for a project of this scale would mean a good deal of inconvenience to our patrons,” he said. “On the other hand,

The new design will transform the windowless façade of the old building with a flashy glass entrance in the hexagonal shape of the NAC’s logo. The new entrance was designed by architect Donald Schmitt and will use glass that will be able to display high-definition images. The renovations will double the size of one of the NAC’s main event spaces, the Panorama Room, increasing its capacity to 600
people from 225. It work will also upgrade mechanical and electrical systems, create a new lounge area and café, as well as improve performance spaces. The entire project is expected to meet Leadership in Energy and Design (LEED) standards. The federal government announced it would give $110.5 million towards the project last December, reviving a project that had stalled. In 2012, the NAC had plans to renovate the building’s façade on Elgin Street, but after the city approved changes to the light-rail tunnel that did not include a station near the arts centre, the project was put on the shelf.

New findings into Duchenne muscular dystrophy offer hope Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
The discovery by Ottawa researchers that a lethal form of muscular dystrophy is, in fact, a stem cell disease could one day lead to more effective treatments. “It’s a paradigm shift in our understanding of the disease,” said Michael Rudnicki, senior author of a study published on Nov. 16 in Nature Medicine, a journal that features advances in biomedical research. Prior to his team’s eureka moment about two years ago – which needed to be successfully and repeatedly tested before it could be published – the muscle weakness associated with Duchenne’s was once blamed on problems in the body’s muscle fibres. In fact, the culprits are also defects in the way muscle stem cells function, repairing muscles damaged through regular injury and exercise. Researchers discovered these stem cells express the dystrophin protein. Without this, fewer muscle precursor cells are produced, meaning fewer working muscle fibres are generated, affecting mobility. Their work also revealed
this protein allows these stem cells to orient themselves in nearby tissue, preventing them from making more stem cells or form new muscle fibres. The study research team, which included Ottawa Hospital and University of Ottawa scientists, graduates and post-doctoral fellows, are now looking at ways of restoring this cell function, and have already identified a muscle-repairing protein that can do this.
“If you don’t have (hope), you don’t have anything.” DEBRA CHIABAI
Manotick resident Debra Chiabai has hope these answers could one day translate into more effective treatments for Duchenne patients, who, like her 15-year-old son, Alex, currently rely on physical therapy and steroids. The condition, the most common form of muscular dystrophy, affects about one in 3,600 boys. In Ottawa, there are about 50 males with the condition.
“It’s a lethal disease so they’re in a wheelchair by age 10 on average and with the very best medical care they can make it out to age 30,” Rudnicki said, adding that death is usually caused by respiratory or cardiac failure. Duchenne stole Alex’s ability to walk a year and a half ago, but the study offers new hope. “If you don’t have (hope), you don’t have anything. It’d be too hard to get up in the morning,” Chiabai said. The new findings suggest that current experimental gene therapies need to be rethought, said Rudnicki, director of the regenerative medicine program and the Sprott Centre for Stem Cell Research at the Ottawa Hospital’s General campus. He is also a University of Ottawa professor. “Realistically, we’re two years away from a clinical trial if we had the money to get there,” he said. While there is still much work to be done, the team has already identified some drug candidates in the lab and are developing a system to screen large libraries of existing medications that could be used to better treat patients.

Rehtaeh Parsons’ dad speaks at A.Y. Jackson Continued from page 31
“He explained the affect that (Rehtaeh’s suicide) had on him, how he remembered the last time that he saw his daughter, thinking, ‘You know what? I think she is going to make it through,’ and just to have the rug swept out from underneath him,” said ManUp member Matthew Hills. “I think that’s what really impacted people.” TAKING A STAND
PUBLIC MEETINGS All public meetings will be held at Ottawa City Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue West, unless otherwise noted. For a complete agenda and updates, please sign up for email alerts or visit ottawa.ca/agendas, or call 3-1-1.
The assembly and the workshops that the ManUp group have learned from have taught them to see how
malicious comments, even those considered jokes between friends, can really be, they said. “I didn’t realize how much it happens until I joined ManUp and I said, ‘OK, I’m no longer going to joke about stuff like that. I’m going to make sure that I don’t participate in any discussions where women are being put down or people are saying so and so is a slut or anything like that,’” said Naryan Shukle. “The most shocking thing to me is how much it happened and how much my really close friends did it.” Nonetheless, learning to
stand up to their friends has not always been easy, he said. Shuckle described how, right after attending a workshop on violence against women, he was confronted with a situation where he felt he had to take a stand. “All of a sudden you are faced with a situation where you are thinking in the back of your head, ‘Wait a minute, this is exactly what we were just talking about. This is sexual harassment even though it doesn’t look like it because they are friends and they know each other really well.’ “At least for me it was hard to start out (taking a stand), so I would start just by saying
it jokingly, ‘Hey, that’s not a nice thing to say,’ or ‘I’m not supposed to let you say that because I’m in ManUp,’ but then after a while you really start believing it and then you are saying it seriously to these people.” As they plan more efforts to educate fellow students on violence against women, the ManUp guys hope that their male friends will understand the message when it comes from another guy. Some of them may even want to join the club. After Canning’s visit, the ManUp group said many other guys expressed an interest in joining.

Future treatments could buy families more time Continued from page 35
“Bringing a new small drug to the market can take 20 years and $20 million, so another strategy is to re-purpose existing drugs that would go much faster,” Rudnicki said, adding that this would still require clinical trials. Chiabai recognizes that there is still a long ways to go before treatment advancements are realized. “This isn’t going to be ‘take a pill, cure the disease,’” she said. “This is going to be a cocktail of drugs addressing different parts of the problem.” Alex was first diagnosed at age two and a half. Today, he takes steroids to deal with the damage to his muscles when the cell fibres break down. He also goes for routine muscular and endocrinology assessments every three or four months at CHEO, where a multi-disciplinary
team checks to see if his legs and tendons are starting to contract, to ensure his heart is still healthy, how his muscles are doing and whether he is still breathing effectively. In 2011, the Grade 9 St. Mark Catholic High School student began receiving weekly injections of a drug as part of a clinical trial that aims to restore the missing protein in his muscle fibre cells. The drug has made a subtle difference. “It’s not a miracle,” Chiabai said. “Certainly, he’s not declining at the rate he was.” He stopped receiving the injections for just over a year, up until last February, while study data was being reassessed. “During the time that the study was halted, he actually stopped walking, and since he’s been back on the drug he’s been very stable,” Chiabai said. Alex has since become
reliant on a stand-up wheelchair to remain mobile. When Chiabai learned of Rudnicki’s research findings, she was surprised that such indepth research into Duchenne was happening right here in Ottawa. “Until we really understand the whole disorder and all of the impacts, they can’t really target research and treatments and trials to ensure all of the problem is solved,” Chiabai said. With Duchenne, time is of the essence. “A cure’s not the be all or end all,” she said. “We just want to slow things down. Give us more time.” HOW TO HELP

Ottawa women stuffing purses with a purpose Women Helping Women providing homeless women with sanitary products Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Heidi Danson and Det. Sylvie Reaney are on a mission to hand out purses filled with sanitary pads and tampons to Ottawa’s vulnerable women.
Already, the pair have surpassed Danson’s original 50-purse goal. They’re at about 400 purses and counting, which is why they have upped their goal to collect 1,000 purses until at least Dec. 18. “I thought I was being really ambitious,” Danson said about her initial target of 50. “It’s touched so many people,” said Reaney, an Ottawa police office who has arranged for Ottawa police stations, from Orléans to Leitrim to Kanata, to be purse drop-off points. “I think that’s why so many (women) have jumped on
board because … they can relate to this. People are filling up purses to the rim.” Come Dec. 18, they plan to provide the donated purses, bags, clutches, makeup bags, backpacks and tote bags to several shelters and day programs they have reached out to. Danson was first inspired after reading a Cosmopolitan article about homeless women struggling with their periods because they don’t have access to sanitary products or showers. She then saw a Facebook post about filling a purse with supplies and giving them to homeless women.

After connecting with Reaney in late October, the project quickly snowballed. “I’m sitting here looking at 200 purses right now. My office is full,” Danson said. “The bigger it gets, the more exciting it is.” Though blown away by the support, she thinks the campaign has struck a chord across Ottawa because it’s an easy cause to support since many women have old purses and extra supplies at home. The cause is also something they can relate to. “Women to women, having your period isn’t something we all brag about,” Reaney said. “It’s not the best thing, but being homeless, it’s a nightmare for them. It must be horrible.” The detective wanted to get involved because she had recently done a presentation for her master’s degree about women and girls in African nations who were missing school because of a lack of access to sanitary products.
“They stayed home because of embarrassment, so a lot of them eventually just drop out, which is horrible,” said Reaney, who was wowed by Danson’s project. “I never even thought about it in my own community,” she said.
I’m sitting here looking at 200 purses right now. My office is full. HEIDI DANSON
While sanitary products are a necessity, too many women can’t afford them. “What do they do? They’re struggling for food,” Reaney said. Upon reaching out to women’s shelters and day programs, Danson and Reaney quickly realized they had tapped into an unmet

need. Reaney learned the Odawa Native Friendship Centre receives food from the Ottawa Food bank once a month. The hamper includes one box of tampons for the entire shelter. “That just broke my heart,” she said. That means women are too often using what they can when they have their periods. “They’ll go into public bathrooms here and use toilet paper, paper towels, anything. I’m sure they keep it on for hours and beyond.” As word spread about the purse-drive project, known as Women Helping Women, MediaStyle, a digital-first public affairs firm in downtown Ottawa, reached out to offer space to sort the items on Dec. 17 before they are donated later in the month. The company also planned to shoot a video to raise awareness about the project. See DONATIONS, page 39

It’s hoped the momentum will gather steam and donations will continue to come in to meet the need in going forward. “This cannot stop in December. I would hate to see this end,” Reaney said, adding she hopes it will generate awareness of the plight of homeless women and the barriers they face on a daily basis. “We hope that we can create the awareness so people can continue to donate on their own, even if you grab a box of tampons and drop it off every once in a while to a shelter directly,” Danson said. HOW TO HELP
Purses filled with sanitary products and other supplies, or just empty purses or supplies can be dropped off at any Ottawa police station. For more details or to contact organizers, go to facebook.com/ WHWPP, or email danson.h@ gmail.com. SUPPLIES NEEDED

We understand that this is a terrific start for these players to be identified within the Ontario and Canadian talent pool. However, we also want to remind all players within our club of the many different avenues towards success in the game – examples like Vana Markarian, who was not recognized for the provincial team until U16 and quickly found his way into the National Team and the Vancouver Whitecaps Academy. Further to this, we appreciate the hard work of many who were not recognized last year but through dedication and overall progression they are now being noticed. OSU feels this is a real benefit of being part of the OPDL. “Firstly, I would like to congratulate each of the OPDL teams for their successful seasons in 2015. The dedication and commitment from the players, their families and coaching staff is a driving force behind these individuals being recognized for the identification camps. We hope that more players within these teams will be recognized in the future and wish everyone best of luck through the process,” commented Club Technical Director, Paul Harris.

Though there are still two years to go before a Canada Science and Technology Museum opens, officials are optimistic the complete overall of the facility will attract visitors, members and rave reviews. With demolition of the old museum now going full steam ahead, officials unveiled plans Nov. 30 detailing the interior design of the new building which is scheduled to open in November 2017 to coincide with the museum’s 50th anniversary and Canada’s 150th birthday year. “We know that our sister site here, the Aviation and Space Museum, is a top-10 aviation museum in the world and we expect to be in that same place,” Christina Tessier, director general of the now-closed museum, said during a press conference

The current Canada Science and Technology Museum, which was abruptly closed in September 2014 after the discovery of mould caused by a leaky roof, is in the process of being demolished. Construction of the new space is expected to begin in January 2016. at the aviation museum. “The experience changes from the minute you walk in,” said Alex Benay, president and chief executive of the museums corporation, which manages the science and tech museum at

1867 St. Laurent Blvd. The museum was abruptly evacuated and permanently shuttered in September 2014 after mould was discovered, caused by a leaky roof. Remediation of the museum, which opened in 1967, was made more complex due to asbestos in the roof area.
But following a $80.5-million overhaul – $25 million to $30 million of which will pay for the new exhibits – visitors will come in through an elevated entrance and immediately notice more daylight streaming in. “This will look like a completely redesigned building by the time we’re done,” Benay said. “Only the trains and the crazy kitchen will be staying – everything else will be a new experience.” Construction of the new building, which will feature six main galleries and a new 930-squaremetre temporary gallery for exhibitions in the 7,400-square-metre space, is slated to begin in January 2016. The overhaul will also allow for an additional 280 square metres of exhibit space, considered a boon by staff since just two per cent of the museum’s collection could be on display at one time in the lead-up to the closure.

Science and tech museum renovation underway Continued from page 40
The new artifact alley, which will run the length of the building and showcase items from the museum’s extensive collection in floor-to-ceiling display cases, will mean visitors can look at more treasures. “We expect to at least double the number of artifacts that are on display in the new museum,” Tessier said, adding they are also looking at making the museum’s new
collection reserve facility accessible to the public in the years to come. With the upcoming overhaul, major changes are in store, including the integration of “highly digital” elements complete with virtual and augmented technologies, a maker space and a children’s gallery, among other themed spaces and a central demonstration stage. Staff are contemplating how digital they want to make the inter-
active children’s gallery, which will be designed for youngsters, ages two to 10. “Kids still need to get hands-on. They need to touch things. They need to move things around,” Tessier said. “And so we’re looking for that right balance between what’s great digitally and what’s … just a great hands-on interactive experience. “When you think of the crazy kitchen, there’s nothing digital in that
space but it remains an iconic space that people love.” The moving and connecting gallery, the largest at more than 2,300 square metres, will include a locomotive hall and three proposed exhibitions, such as ‘The Last Great Age of Steam.’ “Using virtual reality, visitors will be get to experience the sights, sounds and smells associated with the 6400 locomotive, one of the museum’s most iconic
artifacts,” Tessier said, adding that through the use of technology anyone anywhere will be able to enjoy some of what the museum has to offer. Plans are being reviewed for the museum’s grounds, where there is currently a lighthouse and telescope. “Those remain unfounded and we do hope in 2016 to share with folks what we’re doing on that front space,” Tessier said.
ADOPTION AWARENESS Adoption is a great way to grow a family. Here are some stats about adoption from the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa (CASO):
Of all the adoptions in 2014-2015:
63 % were 0-5 years old 20 % were 6-9 years old 12 % were 10-12 years old 5 % were 13+ years old
Skates are what we know.
There are currently 196 children and youth at CASO who are seeking permanency through adoption or other means

Project highlights WWI aviation efforts “I really like maps, so I think it’s pretty inspiring,” said 15-year-old Glebe Collegiate Institute student Tommy Omura. “I think I’m going to go home and make my own map of my neighbourhood.”
brier.dodge@metroland.com
The first portion of a three-part educational series about military aviation efforts was launched on Nov. 24 at the Canadian War Museum in a presentation and panel discussion hosted by Orléans MP Andrew Leslie. Drawn to Victory is the first of three in a project called A Nation Soars, developed by the Royal Canadian Geographical Society and Sound Venture Productions. Drawn to Victory highlights the impact of aviation on mapmaking, and how the maps produced by Canadians influenced the war. It’s done via two main projects: a documentary narrated by actor Dan Aykrod about how the Canadian air force helped map the Western Front and battlelines using aerial photography. Mapping started out as one British officer and one clerk with out-dated maps from the 1880s, and grew to almost 5,000 allies who produced more than 32 million maps by the end of the war. “We’re a peacekeeping nation, and we couldn’t have done it without the aviators,” Akroyd said in the introduction of the documentary, which was previewed to guests and students at the launch event. By the time Canadians were preparing for the Vimy Ridge battle,

Glebe Collegiate Institute student Tommy Omura, 15, uses a cord to outline the Western Front on a giant map of France at the Canadian War Museum on Nov. 24. even the lowest-ranking soldiers had been given maps. “It’s a story that needs to be told,” said Leslie, the former commander of the Canadian army, who had some stories of his own of using maps and new digital technology in Afghanistan. The documentary’s airdate and network will be announced in early 2016. The second project involved creating a giant map of France and related educational activities for high school students across Canada to participate in. “Today, we’re providing lines of sight from 2015 to 100 years ago,” said John Geiger, the Royal Canadian Geographic Society’s chief executive officer. “We choose to make a giant floor map because we know the power of cartography, the power to
illuminate ideas, to transfer knowledge, to change minds and to create ‘a-ha’ moments for students.” The giant map and activities package is available for high school teachers across Canada to book for periods of three weeks at a time, via a free Canadian Geographic Education membership. There were five giant maps produced as a part of the project. Leslie said he’d like to see the maps make their way to high schools within his Orléans riding this year. There were local high school students from Glebe Collegiate Institute at the Canadian War Museum for the day to learn about aviation and try out some of the activities that go along with the giant map, which would take up about half of a school gymnasium.

Healthy Sleeping Habits The first few years of a child’s life are perhaps the most important in terms of growth and development and it’s natural for parents to worry about whether their child is achieving important milestones in a timely manner. By encouraging good habits from the very beginning, parents can make sure their child is off to the best start possible.
Instilling good sleep habits at an early age is very important. Research shows that inadequate sleep can affect your child’s mood and behaviours, their eating habits, and their ability to concentrate in school. A few common problems that parents encounter with their children are inadequate sleep, resistance to sleeping and frequently waking up at night. On average, toddlers should get 10 to 13 hours of sleep every night and preschoolers should get 10 to 12 hours.Make sure your little one’s bed time and the time they wake up in the morning is consistent and maintained everyday whether it is a school day or the weekend. Consider adding an hour of quiet time before bedtime and include quiet and relaxing activities such as reading or taking a bath. Activities such as playing video games or watching TV should be avoided during this time.
Early Literacy
From birth until five years of age, children’s psychological development changes rapidly. The way a child interacts with their parent is perhaps the most important way in which they learn about the world around them. Research shows that reading to your child and encouraging them to read at an early age helps prepare them for school and improves their future academic career. Activities such as singing to your child and engaging them in conversations are also a great way to improve their vocabulary. According to Dr. Alyson Shaw, a pediatrician at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO), “When you read, speak, or sing with your baby or child, you are surrounding them with words and language that are the building blocks of later reading success. Sharing books daily makes routines like mealtime, nap time, and bath time easier. You don’t have to read the books all the way through - just talking about the pictures can be enough. Most importantly, regular story time with a loving adult early in life creates positive bonds that benefit your child’s health throughout their life course.” CHEO and Ottawa Public Health have teamed up to deliver a series on CTV called Parenting in Ottawa this fall and winter. The topics covered will include common problems faced by parents in Ottawa and will help them make sure kids in our community stay their healthiest. Tune in to CTV Ottawa’s News at 6 on December 9, 2015 for the second installment which will focus on healthy active living. Parents can also visit the Parenting in Ottawa Facebook page and have their questions answered by experts on early childhood and a variety of other topics. R0013130354.1203

Auditor General says city can do better when it comes to 311 Brier Dodge
brier.dodge@metroland.com
Much of the discussion as the city auditor tabled his annual audit report had to do with who is on the other line. Or rather, who isn’t on the other line, as problems with the city’s 3-1-1 system took up most of the discussion with councillors. The waiting time for callers to 3-1-1, the city’s help line, is too long, said Auditor General Ken Hughes at the Nov. 26 meeting at city hall. The city considers any call answered within 120 seconds a successful call. They also consider any abandoned calls prior to 120 seconds successful. That’s a long time compared to other major cities, Hughes’ report highlighted. Councillors had issues with hang-ups being counted as successful calls. “I think you’re being very generous in your comments to say this was potentially misleading,” said Coun. Keith Egli. “Never have I got an answer for why service levels don’t seem to match what we’re hearing from our actual residents who aren’t getting through.” The report said 3-1-1’s target is to answer 80 per cent of calls within that 120 second time frame, but this service level was never formally approved, and there isn’t any data on why this was chosen. In terms of service requests coming in for emails, the service time is fairly long for the general public - five
business days. While this timeframe was also never formally approved, it’s also often missed. It was proposed that agents working shifts outside normal business hours, who weren’t tasked with answering emails, take on the additional duty to help speed things up. Hughes said the common theme he found is an overall lack of financial analysis used in decision making. “In 3-1-1… there’s no data on the cost per call, or to answer an email,” he said. “In winter operations, we found no financial analysis had been done on the mix of internal versus external resources, or the cost to keep standards above (provincial levels).” The city could be spending more than it needs for a higher standard of road maintenance in the winter. The city is maintaining roads at a standard that is set higher than the provincial standard. There isn’t any data available to show how much more the city is spending to maintain roads at a higher standard than the province deems necessary. There are other potential areas the city could save money in snow removal as well. The audit found that staff are assigned to lower priority duties other than snow removal or salting 25 per cent of the time, duties that may not be required. Hughes also raised con-
cerns with the city’s IT risk management in his audit. There isn’t a comprehensive inventory of technologies used by the city, or a risk register. Part of the issue is the people who are sometimes completing the risk profiles. “One finding jumped out at me,” said Coun. Jeff Leiper. “Can we trust our corporate risk profile if it’s being developed by people who don’t have the technical background?” Hughes said that staff who are not trained in risk profiles “can’t identify risks they’re not aware of.”

Hughes also tabled the audits that he plans to have his department complete in the future. ‘Future audits include light rail transit planning and change management, emergency preparedness, and the management of the Lansdowne contract. Coun. Diane Deans put in requests to move an audit on the light rail phase one construction planned from 2017 to 2016, but Hughes said the department simply doesn’t have the resources to move the audit up a year. “There’s probably enough work to keep us busy for 10 to 12 years at the rate we’re going now,” Hughes said, adding if council increased the audit department’s budget, more audits could be done, and quicker.

In partnership with
Watson to meet with police chief about spike in shootings Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Mayor Jim Watson said the spike in gun shootings this year has been a “concern” and he plans to meet with the police chief and police services board chair next week to get word on the progress of investigations. “There’s a challenge because it’s my understanding that some of the victims haven’t been forthcoming with police,” he said, adding
that even one shooting would be a concern. Watson said it was a good thing that no one was injured in each shooting. “But even if a bullet hits a wall or your mirror, that can be a traumatic experience,” he said, adding Ottawa is still a safe city and has seen an overall decrease in crime. The high number of shootings in the capital is another reason the city has agreed to the hiring of 25 new police officers and included $400,000

for Crime Prevention Ottawa, Watson said. Earlier this year, the city pledged $300,000 annually to fund a gang-exit strategy that was developed by the John Howard Society and Ottawa Community Immigrant Services Corporation. “We have to rely on the expertise of the police and the guns and gangs unit to try and do their best to curb these (shootings) and ultimately eliminate them,” Watson said.

Herman’s pattern of euchre play remained steady
T
here was nothing old Herman liked more than a good game of euchre. By the time November rolled around, and winter was about to set in, the Saturday night house parties were in full swing. Old Herman couldn’t be happier. How people knew where the party was being held, remains a mystery to me to this day. My sister Audrey said Myrtle at Central, not only picked the farm, but would call everyone to invite them, sometimes forgetting to tell the hosting farmer about it. At any rate, by this time of year, just about every Saturday night, there was a house party at Northcote, and old Herman was usually the first to arrive. It was expected that everyone would chip in to supply the lunch,
MARY COOK Memories which never varied. Eleven quart baskets of sandwiches, a jar or two of homemade pickles, and of course, big slab cakes. The farm where the party was being held, of course, would have giant pots of tea simmering on the back of the cook stove by the time the neighbours started to arrive. Old Herman never brought as much as a
pickle. Being a bachelor, he wasn’t much of a cook anyway, and, according to my sister Audrey, he wasn’t the cleanest man either. It was probably a blessing he only came for the cards and lunch, and let others worry about the food. He arrived in his old battered buggy, or a one-seater cutter, depending on the weather, and his nag of a horse, wasn’t in much bet-
ter shape either. He drove her right up to the backdoor, tossed the reins over whatever happened to be handy, and the horse never moved a muscle all the time Old Herman was in the house playing cards. For some reason, he was pretty lucky at euchre. Emerson said he wasn’t above cheating a bit if necessary, but no one could catch him at it. Of course, no money changed hands. If that had been the case, someone would no doubt have kept a closer eye on old Herman. And how he loved to pound the table. Especially if he euchred someone! He’d bring down his gnarled hand and slap the oil-cloth covered table, and you could hear the kitchen window rattling. Now, if he was euchred himself, that was a different story. He would get up from the table, glare down at his losing hand, snort, wipe his nose on the cuff of his ragged shirt, and head for the backdoor. There was always someone else ready to take his place, and this routine
was so commonplace that the card game never missed a beat. But when he came back, he seemed to change a bit. And each time he left the game, went out and came back in, the change was more noticeable. His voice got louder, the pounding got heavier, and by the time the evening was coming to a close, old Herman’s eyes were glazed over. On more than one occasion, he missed the chair and landed splat on the floor. This routine was so common, no one paid the least bit of attention. And it didn’t matter how under the weather old Herman became, he always managed to tuck away a good portion of the lunch. When it was time for everyone to head home, old Herman would loiter long enough knowing that he would be taking home a good pile of sandwiches and a piece of the cake. The evening wasn’t over until two or three of the men would help old Herman out to the cutter, or the buggy, pile him in, toss the reins onto his lap, and turn the
horse in the general direction of the gate. It would be years before I would learn that old Herman kept a bottle of home-brew under the seat and every time he left the house during a card game, it was to take a swig, and as Father would say, “fortify himself for the rest of the evening.” It always amazed me how that old nag of a horse, with Old Herman snoring before it left our yard, would know exactly where home was. Father said the night air would waken the old man enough that he would tumble out of the buggy or cutter and into his hut of a house, saving himself from freezing to death in his own backyard. He never came to a bad end, and was always the first to arrive at the next Saturday night house party! Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue
Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you can be quite generous when you choose to be, but sometimes you can overlook the needs of others. Pay as much attention to others’ needs as possible this week. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Little things influence how others look at you, Taurus, so make sure you get all of your ducks in a row -- especially at work. Focus on some finer details. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 You may not be in a practical mood this week, Gemini. Fortunately for you, there isn’t much of importance that needs to be done, so you are free to let loose a little bit. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 This isn’t a week to take a walk down Memory Lane, Cancer. Focus on the future rather than getting lost in nostalgia. However, let your past guide your actions a bit. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, your calendar is filling up quickly, but you cannot add any days to the calendar. Divide your responsibilities so you can better handle everything on your slate. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Ambivalence will get you nowhere fast, Virgo. It can be difficult to make decisions, but that’s something you have to do this week. Once you do, you can forge ahead.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you are capable of making intelligent, objective decisions. Expect to find yourself with a growing list of new friends who want your advice. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Now is not the time to begin a new project, Scorpio. Rather, keep a low profile and finish up any tasks that you did not get to finish last week. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, it’s difficult to get a good read on any associates or friends, which could impact your plans moving forward. You may need to make a few assumptions and back track later. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, right now all you can think about is your career and your financial future. That’s okay because you’ve been meaning to give more thought to your finances and how to proceed. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you may feel yourself pulled in two different directions this week. There’s a part of you that is focused on home, and another that knows work beckons. Find a balance. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 It may seem like getting others to open up is a struggle this week. Find a way to communicate as best you can, Pisces.
