More consultation needed on introduction of community mailboxes: Beaverbrook association Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Canada Post received a poor grade from the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association in a recent report card rating the crown corporation’s introduction of new community mailboxes in Kanata. The association awarded Canada Post a ‘D’, saying the biggest flaw in the process is the company’s lack of communication with community groups and the city. With Canada Post’s communication aimed mostly at individual residents, and more so those nearest proposed mailbox locations, major issues with those locations are being missed, said association president Neil Thomson. Many of these issues revolve around the safety of pedestrians walking near the mailboxes, the safety of those stopping to use them

and the city’s plans for building sidewalks where they have just been installed. As a result, Canada Post has had to relocate some mailboxes more than a month after the community began using them, he said. “They were lacking information that, had they talked to us, they would have gotten,� said Thomson. Canada Post responded to the association’s report card, saying the company followed through with the process it had described to the community association at the beginning, and that it has worked well. “What we said out front that we were going to do, we did,� said Canada spokesman Jon Hamilton, referring to mail-in surveys, online surveys, and a door-knocking campaign where those living closest to mailbox locations were consulted – about 370 residents out of the 11,000 people affected in Kanata. “So far, we are happy with the way the process has been going,� he said. “Is it perfect? No. But I think we were able to get a lot of things right in places like Kanata and Oakville and everywhere else.� See CANADA POST, page 12

Co-op community building sustains major damage in blaze adam.kveton@metroland.com

A basement fire in a co-op housing building in Bridlewood sent a firefighter tumbling through the building’s floor, resulting in a trip to the hospital on Nov. 29. The firefighter was released from hospital, and no one else was hurt, though the building, a bungalow that was used as a sort of community centre, sustained $230,000 in damages, said Marc Messier, spokesperson for the Ottawa fire department.

The fire started in the basement of the building, located at 10 Bridgestone Dr. where the co-op community has an office, laundry facilities and storage, said Messier. Firefighters received a call on Saturday at 12:21 p.m. alerting them about the fire. “The fire was quite intense in the basement,” said Messier. “It actually weakened the floor which is where one officer had fallen through.” Firefighters were trying to locate the fire as heavy smoke filled the building’s main floor. No one was found inside the building, but

a firefighter fell through the floor, his mask pulled off in the process. “He had taken in some smoke at that time,” said Messier, and likely would have encountered flames there. But the officer quickly got up and was taken to hospital for smoke inhalation, and complaints of a sore neck and back. Firefighters had the blaze under control by 1:10 p.m.

“The fire damage would have been contained to the basement, except there would have been significant smoke damage throughout the building,” said Messier. The damage to the building was estimated to be $150,000 with $80,000 estimated for the building’s contents. See FIRE, page 7

Tour empowers Kanata students with Kenyan speakers Mom and students share how their lives have been affected by Free The Children charity Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

Students from Kanata and the Glebe gathered at St. Gabriel Catholic School in Kanata Lakes to meet three women from Kenya whose lives have been impacted by the students’ fundraising work. Hellen Soitara, Vivian Saingo Kuriai and Purity Manta Karia shared their stories with the students gathered at the school on Dec. 1 as part of the Free The Children charity’s Year of Empowerment tour which has been traveling around the United States and Canada. St. Gabriel in particular has been heavily involved with the Free The Children charity, raising thousands of dollars in the past year from various fundraisers. Now, it was the students’ turn to hear about what their work is accomplishing. Soitara, better known as Mama Hellen, was the first to share her story. She was one of the first Kenyan Maasai traditional beading artisans to be part of the charity’s alternative income initiative. The mother of five boys, Soitara said her life used to be consumed by getting water and firewood and providing food for her children. She, like many other women, did

not finish school, and relied on her husband for money, said Soitara. “We (mothers) needed more independence,” she said. Though she practised Maasai beading, creating jewelry and clothing, the trip to a faraway market to sell her work often consumed her profits. Eventually Soitara came into contact with the Free The Children charity’s alternative income initiative which could help artisans like her sell her work. About 1,200 women beaders sell their work through the charity, said Soitara. That means when their children need new shoes or funds for school, they have the money to pay. “Whenever you see our bead work, know that you are supporting us mamas,” she said. Vivian and Purity, now in Grade 10, were both eager students, though their parents did not support their studies. Many families don’t see the point in sending their girls to school, said Purity, because, once they are married, the girl’s education does not benefit the family. Also, the gathering of water is the girl’s responsibility and can often take hours of time every day. For Vivian, trips to the

closest fresh water were an hour in each direction, and it took three trips to carry enough water to meet her family’s needs. Both students managed to go to school until Grade 8, though they missed many school days because of their responsibilities at home. On the long walk to school, Vivian sometimes encountered hyenas and elephants blocking her path. After Grade 8, school is no longer free, and most parents refuse to pay for their daughters’ studies. Purity and Vivian were home for months after graduating Grade 8, until they found out about all girls’ schools built by Free The Children. They were both able to attend through scholarships, and are proud to say they are high school students. Vivian is particularly proud of her computer skills and her new ability to speak in front of large crowds. “In future, I’d like to be a teacher,” she said. Purity said she helped with a school initiative to encourage more girls to continue with school, and said she would like to be a broadcaster in the future. “It was pretty cool,” said Grade 6 St. Gabriel student Nolan David. “I really liked … how they told us about their culture and their life in Kenya.” For Lauren Butler, another

Students were particularly interested in Soitara’s outfit, which she made herself in the Maasai beadwork style. Grade 6 St. Gabriel student, the chance to hear from and speak to the three women really showed what their fundraising is doing and why. “You kind of see different perspectives in what Kenya is like,” she said. “Like how people want their child to drop out of school when they

could have an education, and just one small act can actually help people go get an education. It was really inspiring.” The tour was brought to St. Gabriel thanks to Grade 6 teacher Rola Tibshirani who has spearheaded a lot of the Free The Children work at the school, said the school’s

principal, Jane Hill. “I found they were truly inspiring,” said Hill of the speakers. “It really made it real for our students because we see the videos, we go to We Day, but to actually see the individuals that our work is impacting is really inspirational.”

“We’ve determined the cause (of the fire),” said Messier. “It appears to have started from a power bar where there were electrical appliances plugged into it (in the build-

ing’s basement,” he said. “Now as to if it’s a power bar that failed or if it was over energized or what it was, we don’t have that, but we know where it started and it has something to do with that power bar where the appli-

ances were plugged in,” said Messier. The Kourier-Standard was unable to contact a spokesperson for the Lao Village Housing Co-operative by deadline, despite multiple attempts.

Let’s get into specifics

A

s the season of giving approaches, it’s fascinating to see how some charitable groups are working to connect Canadians to people in need. Instead of donating some cash to the general revenues of a charity – where it will no doubt be put to good use – Unicef will tell you what your donation can do in human terms. For example, your $50 can provide 20 litres of therapeutic milk to children in need. Oxfam gets even more specific. Give $15 and Oxfam will give a family in a developing country a chicken, which in turn provides them with eggs. You can give a sheep or goat too, which can supply wool or milk. Recently, the Lions Club in Kanata picked out a piece of equipment for the Ottawa Hospital Eye Institute that is expected to improve accuracy when doctors attempt to diagnose eye problems. What better way to get people behind a project than to set a goal of buying a specific item that will provide a specific, positive outcome? This straightforward way of contributing to a

cause allows donors to see their efforts being put to use. They know they are directly connected with the end result: one chicken, one family fed. Donors to food banks can feel the same connection because they know the can of corn or bag of oats they give will be cooked up and served at the table of a family in need of a little help. Money can obviously be put to use by the same food bank, but the connection is not the same. We see this desire to make a difference when an individual in our own community battles a serious disease. Suddenly a disease we’ve only heard of has a face and we realize this person is just like us. It’s only human to want to help them. Large charitable organizations must do even more to humanize their efforts. Large scale groups such as the United Way do good work, but they also create a layer of dispersal of funds that separates the giver from the person being assisted, and there is always the perception of some funds being used to keep the bureaucracy running. ’Tis the season to give.

When the scammers come calling

S

eniors are supposed to be gullible and targets for scammers of all kinds. You read that all the time, about door-to-door fraudsters, phoney charities and, especially, computers. Seniors are supposed to be babes in the woods when it comes to computers. I’m not so sure about that. The seniors I know are a pretty knowledgeable bunch. After all, if you’re 70 now, that means you were 40 or so when computers came to be widely used in workplaces and in your 50s when the Internet entered our lives. But maybe scammers don’t know that. The other day the phone rang and it was a guy from an authoritative-sounding outfit warning us that our computer had been taken over

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town by criminals and he would help us fix matters, if we would let him take control of the computer. After a slight delay, caused by an inability to understand what he was talking about, we replied, as follows: CLICK. Amazingly, he called back, quite annoyed that he had been hung up upon and resumed his pitch. “Who are you, again?� we asked. He repeated the name of the authoritativesounding outfit. CLICK, we replied. He didn’t call back.

Those sorts of calls can happen to anyone and there is a faint credibility to them because many people have, in fact, had difficulties with their computers being hacked in various small and large ways. After all, the Ottawa Police Services, no nest of gullible seniors, was hit just last week. So you might wonder, after you’ve done the correct thing and hung up, if you made a mistake. The helpful thing then is to use your computersavviness and punch the name of the authoritative-sounding outfit into Google, followed by a word such as “scam.� Bingo!

been laid. It turns out that hanging up was exactly the right thing – as it almost always is. There are many nasty things about the Internet. One of the nicer things is it enables us to get information confirming we are not alone. It doesn’t take a lot of savvy to double-check before accepting any kind of offer and most people do, since it’s now so easy. But obviously some people don’t, which helps to make these scams profitable. And there will be new ones coming along, new reasons to double-check, new reasons to hang up. Are seniors extremely vulnerable to such scams? I doubt it, but it is probably true that older people are more trusting than younger ones. The people who are seniors now were not brought up to fear that everyone was trying to cheat them. They were brought up to take what people said at face value.

The downside of that is that they may be more likely to be scammed. The upside of that is that they don’t spend every waking minute in fear that someone is trying to take advantage of them. If that’s what vulnerability means, it beats the alternative.

The lice didn’t stand a chance

T

here are times in every mother’s life when she thinks, “No one ever told me this was part of parenting.” There are the simple times, like when you have to explain to a young child not to play with themselves in public. And the mildly more complicated times like when a kindergartener asks you to define “wet dream.” And then there’s head lice – or what I like to call, the “turn-yourhouse-upside-down-for-days” kind of times. I know what you’re thinking: head lice are a rite of passage for kids. But, the thing is, nobody prepares the parents. At the very least, no one prepared me. If you’ve been to my house in the last six months, you’ll realize something – I’m a terrible housekeeper. It’s not my calling and I’m not ashamed to admit it. I have tried – and officially failed – to exist without any help in the home. It’s not that the house is dirty, but with three kids and a student boarder, our 1200-squarefoot home is not always what you’d call tidy.

I gathered up pillows, toys, purses and backpacks in clear plastic leaf bags and left them on the picnic table in subzero temperatures for days, all the while, chanting “Die! Die! Die!” One evening in November, just before bedtime, my son was sitting at the piano. Instead of playing, he was scratching his head. After 10 minutes, I started to get annoyed with him. “But Mom, I’m itchy!”

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse I looked at the crown of his tussled head and pulled out a louse. I glanced at the plethora of stuffed toys, costumes and socks littered around the room. And then I freaked out. “No one’s going to bed tonight,” I yelled. My husband looked at me and put our long-haired two-year-old in her crib. “We’ll deal with her tomorrow,” he said. Not knowing a thing about the little bugs, I decided overkill would be the best approach. I started by shearing the boys’ hair less than an inch long, a method lice expert Richard Pollock equates to “using a cannon to kill a housefly.” I went to the pharmacy and asked for the strongest lice removal shampoo around. We did the treatment, and then began the two-hour process of removing the nits from the boys’ hair, using a cheap nit comb and lamp with a built-in magnifying glass. We saved every nit and bug – stuck them to a piece of paper with parcel tape – so we could count them and investigate them under a microscope. Like I said, overkill. The next day, I ordered The Terminator, a stainless steel nit-removal comb and I nit-picked those boys for days. I washed every item of fabric that had potentially been exposed to anyone’s head. I gathered up pillows, toys, purses and backpacks in clear plastic leaf bags and left them on the picnic table in sub-

zero temperatures for days, all the while, chanting “Die! Die! Die!” My husband and I vacuumed and washed and needlessly did the lice treatment on me, despite zero evidence of nits on my person. In fact, according to Pollock, most of what we did was completely unnecessary. In the end, there were only eight bugs and 40 nits between the two boys, most of which we got the first day. But it only takes one to start the whole process over again and I’ve since heard horror stories of households plagued by repeat head lice outbreaks for months on end. Given that, I’ll use a “cannon to kill a housefly” every time.

New solar panel system foots the energy bill for Trailwest family Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

A Kanata family has pulled a switcheroo on Hydro Ottawa – after installing solar panels on their townhome, the hydro-electric company now owes the family energy. That’s one of the happy byproducts of having the first net metering solar array in Hydro Ottawa’s system, said Samir Ibrahim, who owns the Trailwest home along with his wife and two children. Now, the family is watching as their hydro metre runs in reverse, logging the extra energy the solar panels on their house is collecting. The setup is not some science experiment either, said Ibrahim. Current technology and a co-operative Hydro Ottawa mean that, after an upfront investment, home owners can collect more clean, free energy than they need, said Ibrahim. “It feels pretty good,” he said. Making use of solar power has been part of Ibrahim’s life

for quite a while. A chemical and mechanical engineer, Ibrahim has been involved in the solar energy industry, and the sustainability industry in general, for years, both in the U.S. and Canada. This helped when choosing a solar array system. Some solar panel systems already in Ottawa use a battery to hold any extra energy that the household doesn’t immediately make use off. The net metering system that the Ibrahim family has does not include a battery. Instead, it feeds any extra energy back into Hydro Ottawa’s system for use by other people. A special hydro metre logs how much the family feeds back into the grid. The family pays a flat, $10 per-month rate for Hydro Ottawa to act as a backup in case of a failure, while Hydro Ottawa commits to give back whatever energy the family’s solar panels have fed into the system for free. The solar panels, fixed to the family’s roof facing southsouth west, collect several times more energy than the

family uses, said Ibrahim. “Eight kilowatt hours a day is what we consume, and during the summer, our panels can make up to 36 kilowatt hours a day,” he said. “Right now in the winter, (the solar panels) are making about twice, they are making 16 (kilowatt hours of power).” Though Ottawa may not seem like the best place for solar panels, given the long winter and short days, Ibrahim said he isn’t concerned, as the system actually runs more efficiently when it is cold. Nonetheless, the Ibrahim home is making the most of the electricity, being fairly energy efficient already. A typical household of four uses about 26 kilowatt hours a day according to Ontario’s Ministry of Energy. But, by changing some habits, like turning off your lights when you aren’t in the room, and updating some older appliances, that energy use can be tightened up, said Ibrahim, and you can still make more energy than you need.

ADAM KVETON/METROLAND

Samir Ibrahim shows his hydro meter, unique in Ottawa. It not only logs how much energy the house consumes, but how much it generates and sends back to Hydro Ottawa. So far, Ibrahim’s house is making more solar energy than it consumes. “Up until now, we’ve offset enough carbon that it’s like we’ve planted 54 trees,” after switching on the system in July, said Ibrahim, reading from the real-time app linked to his solar system.

In about seven years, the $15,000 the Ibrahim’s paid for the solar panel system will be completely offset by their hydro savings. That is without taking advantage of the province’s MicroFIT pro-

gram that will purchase the home’s excess power. Using that, Ibrahim said he thinks the system could be paid off in five years. See NET METERING, page 13

Canada Post relies on door-to-door mailbox consultation Continued from page 1

That means Canada Post will be using essentially the same process for communities like Westboro, Centrepointe, Crystal Bay, Bells Corners, Stonebridge, Leitrim, Hunt Club and Riverside Park which will be getting community mailboxes by the fall of 2015. Canada Post may disagree with the Beaverbrook community association’s assessment, but that hasn’t stopped the company from responding to some of the association’s concerns about specific mailboxes. After Thomson sent out the report card to “a random sampling of Canada Post executives and representatives,” because he did not know who to send it to, Canada Post responded the very next day. The company said the mailbox that concerned the association the most, located along The Parkway across from Earl of March Secondary School, should and would be moved. “They said, ‘Yeah, we’ve heard from other sources that this was an issue and, in hindsight, it should have been done differently,” said Thomson. But that’s all part of the process, said Hamilton. “If people are raising issues from a safety perspective, we are still investigating that and we are still seeing if there are changes that can be made,” he said. Canada Post’s process for implementing community mailboxes began in late January 2014. Thomson said issues with mailbox locations could have long since been addressed if only Canada Post had consulted more with the association and the city. “They did listen and they did react,” said Thomson. “But in some cases it just took a lot more effort than it should have and some other sneaky mechanisms on my part to

IF IT’S A

IT’S A

find the right person to talk to.” A large part of the problem is Canada Post’s refusal to attend public meetings, said Thomson. The only time the company met with the association and Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson was at the start of the implementation process, he said. “They wouldn’t talk to us at all (after that),” said Thomson. “My take on that would be, and I’m speculating here, that they wanted to avoid public meetings where the issue of cancelling home delivery would be brought up, and then it would be an unholy hell raise,” he said.

“If people are raising issues from a safety perspective, we are still investigating that and we are still seeing if there are changes that can be made.” JON HAMILTON CANADA POST SPOKESPERSON

The reason is actually because Canada Post did not want to inconvenience people by having them come to a public meeting, and thought it could get more input from residents through a mail-in survey, an online survey, and targeted door-knocking, said Hamilton. “We want to involve everybody, and we know the only way to do that, because people are busy and they have other things going on, is to go directly to them,” he said. Approximately 40 per cent of those who received a survey responded, and Canada Post knocked on about 370 doors to speak with residents about nearby mailbox installations, said Hamilton.

ADAM KVETON/METROLAND

Canada Post’s decision-making process on where to place community mailboxes is being questioned by the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association. The association gave the crown corporation a ‘D’ grade in a recent report card on the introduction of the new mailboxes. “You get to hear back from a lot of people that you normally wouldn’t hear back from in a normal consultation process,” he said. Hamilton said that process has led to good results, with changes being made to 80 of the 186 mailbox sites in Kanata due to public input. But, with co-ordinated input from the association and the city, a lot

more of those mailboxes could have been in the right place from the very start, said Thomson. “This could have all been avoided if (Canada Post) had engaged with the community association and our city councillor in terms of us working to help you do what’s best for the entire community,” he said. For those communities who will

be dealing with Canada Post as they install more mailboxes, Thomson suggested lobbying Canada Post to make use of active community associations as soon as possible. “Ideally, they would end up with the relationship that we now have with Canada Post, but at the beginning of the exercise rather than the end.”

Net metering solar array feeds extra energy back into the grid sustainability and being environmentally conscious, but the solar project was a way of showing her what it means to act on that conscience. “It is something she can talk about in school and see firsthand,” he said. “It’s really cool,” said Zarah of the solar panel system. “You can use all the power that you really need and you are not going to be wasting anything or doing anything bad to pollute the world.” For more information, check out Ibrahim’s blog about the project at cagbcottawa. ca/cagbcorc/index.php/read/ green-blog/54-series-energyindependence-in-the-suburbs.

So far, most neighbours have had nothing but questions and good things to say about the solar panels visible on Ibrahim’s roof. But there has been at least one who said the panels would likely bring down the value of the house and the area. Though there is not a whole lot of information on the resale value of houses with solar panels, Ibrahim said the realtors he consulted are not worried. “They think it’s going to be a selling point,” he said. For anyone interested in installing a net metering

system, Ibrahim said Hydro Ottawa is very helpful and open to the installation. It is important that your insurance company receives a structural engineer’s report to keep the home insurable, and to have the Ontario Electrical Safety Authority to look over the work before turning the system on, he said. Other than that, watch out for critters nesting beneath the panels – they like to eat the soy-based wires. In addition to his own interest, Ibrahim said one of the biggest incentives for starting the project was nine-year-old daughter, Zarah, he said. She already knew about

‘Tis the season

stress

for holiday

The holiday season is fast approaching and while typically we associate the Holidays with joyous gatherings of family and friends, traditions and good food, this can also be a particularly stressful time for many individuals and their families.

If you’ve noticed the Ottawa Senators have shone a bit brighter lately, that’s not just because of their work on the ice. The Senators held a news conference on Nov. 28 to showcase the Canadian Tire Centre’s new energy-efficient LED lighting system, which was installed before the start of the regular hockey season. The new system uses about a third of the energy the previous system consumed and provides better lighting for players and fans both in the stadium and at home, said Senators president Cyril Leeder. The system replaces 344 19-yearold metal halide and quartz halogen light fixtures with 144 LED fixtures. The lights can now be triggered automatically via a wireless remote from anywhere in the stadium.

Energy savings, better lighting a ‘win-win:’ Bob Chiarelli Continued from page 16

The system also includes multiple special effects and a dimmer function, allowing the arena to save energy when full lighting is not required. The decision to go with a new lighting system was a combination of facts and opportunities, said Leeder. With an aging system, the cost of energy increasing and the desire to improve game production, the decision made a lot of sense, especially with the province’s new energy conservation program willing to lend a hand, he said. “The saveONenergy program certainly helped,� said Leeder, referring to the province’s energy conservation initiative that can pay for up to half of the cost for upgrad-

ing old equipment. Leeder and others at the conference did not say how much of the project was funded by the province, but, in total, the new light system cost between $600,000 and $700,000, said Ed Healy, the Senators director of operations and engineering. MPP for Ottawa WestNepean and minister of energy, Bob Chiarelli lauded the Sens’ upgrade, saying he hoped it would encourage others the think about energy conservation as well. “The Sens inspire the people of Ottawa,â€? said Chiarelli. “You do have a lot of influence ‌ you will motivate others to do the same.â€? There are a few other NHL hockey teams with LED lit stadiums, said Leeder, but the technology is still new for the NHL, meaning the light“That was way to easy!â€?

ing has only been approved on a pilot basis. However, standards for LED lighting will be set based on the few arenas that use the new system, including the Canadian Tire Centre. “It feels good to be a leader in this,â€? said Leeder. “It’s the right thing to do. Conservation is important ‌ and having the capability to improve our game experience at the same time is a plus as well.â€? The Sens have a few other technology upgrades in the works, he said, including improvements to the Sens app and public Wi-Fi at the Canadian Tire Centre. Another sustainability issue the team is looking at is composting, said Leeder. “We are a pretty big consumer of food items,â€? he said. “We would like to be in a position to compost at some point in the future.â€?

Tory leadership candidate drums up support in Kanata Blair Edwards

Blair.edwards@metroland.com

Whitby-Oshawa MPP Christine Elliott made a campaign visit to Kanata on Dec. 1, drumming up support in her bid for the leadership of the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party. About 50 people showed up for the meet and greet held at Sushi Kanata in the Kanata

Centrum, attracting Conservatives from across Ottawa and the Ottawa Valley, including Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren and Ade Olumide, who is campaigning to replace Carleton-Mississippi Mills MP Gordon O’Connor. MacLaren said he hasn’t declared his support for any leadership candidate but was “leaning towards Elliott.�

While none of the Ottawaarea MPPs have backed Elliott yet, the candidate said she had the support of eight caucus members. Her campaign also received a boost from the Doug Ford camp, after the Toronto politician declared he would not run in the leadership race and threw his support to Elliott.

“He got over 320,000 votes in the City of Toronto (during the recent municipal election),” said Elliott. Ford has promised to help mount a membership drive for Elliott, she said.

cus on innovation in building its economy. “As much as we want to bring manufacturing (jobs) to Ontario, we need to look to the future as well,” she said, adding the provincial government needs to look for opportunities to invest in businesses clusters, such as the high-tech sector in Kanata. Elliott said she is touring the province to collect ideas and hear the opinions of Ontarians ahead of the spring leadership convention.

The leadership candidate said she hopes to revive the party’s fortunes, after losing nine seats in the last provincial election. “We lost touch with what really matters with people,” she said. Elliott was scheduled to speak at the Delta Hotel in Ottawa on Dec. 2, during a poverty and enabling citizenship forum to discuss her plan to remove barriers and create a more inclusive environment for persons with disabilities and their families.

Memoirs now easier to self-publish There may be no joy more valuable to a senior than creating a permanent memoir. Self-publishing today is far more feasible, says Jane Stokes, a free-

lance writer, who completed a project with her recently widowed mother, Charlotte. Using voice-activated software for her mother to narrate all the

content, she said the whole project – which produced 55,000 words with tons of pictures to make around 150 pages, plus the help of a book designer

– took about one year. If you do it yourself totally, Stokes explained, your costs are simply for the expense of printing the books. For example, with online publisher Blurb, you will get a full colour, hardback book for around $60 each, plus delivery. If you use a professional editor and

a professional book designer, the startup costs for your heirloom will be considerably higher. But once the template is created, it will be yours to order any number of books any time, by simply paying the per-book charge. News Canada

Cyclist killed following collision on Clyde Avenue Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

Paramedics were called to the scene of a fatal collision on Clyde Avenue at Lotta Avenue on the morning of Nov. 27. A mangled bicycle and lone shoe lay next to a blue tarp covering the body of a male cyclist in his 40s who died after being struck by a large truck. Pieces of

red plastic, similar to that of vehicle reflectors, littered the pavement around the bike. Ottawa police say the emergency call came in at 8:26 a.m. Ottawa Fire Services said firefighters assisted paramedics and a police officer with resuscitative efforts until the man was pronounced dead at the scene. The man’s name was not immediately announced, pending notification

of next of kin. The southbound lanes of Clyde Avenue were cordoned off near the scene of the collision while investigators examined the scene.

Police investigators examine a damaged bicycle at the intersection of Clyde and Lotta avenues on the morning of Nov. 26.

High-tech back on track in north Kanata: BIA Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

The Kanata North Business Park juggernaut is back on track, said the Kanata North Business Improvement Area’s board at the organization’s annual general meeting on Nov. 26. But the area hasn’t been tooting its own horn loud enough, said various members. The business group intends to change that with a new campaign aimed at attracting more businesses to the area and publicizing the resurgence of Kanata’s high-tech sector. A new video was unveiled to the BIA’s membership during the meeting at The Marshes Golf Club, meant to catch the eye of businesses and young talent, and spur them to consider moving to Kanata. “I’m very proud of the end result,” said Jenna Sudds, executive director of the BIA, who showed the video and detailed the business groups’ information package that goes along with the marketing campaign. The board announced plans for two studies which will show what the north Kanata business community brings to Ottawa, Ontario and Canada. The first is an economic impact study, which will show how much money the Kanata North businesses bring in on a GDP per capita basis, said Sudds. “I think it will be very impactful,” she said. “There are a handful of oth-

er communities across Canada who have gained footings in the technology space, and when you look at them, in my opinion we have a lot to offer in comparison and we have a long history, and so I think being able to quantify the impact in what we are giving back will be incredibly valuable moving forward.” The second study is a gap analysis, which will show what types of businesses the area might be lacking, and where further investment should go. After receiving support from the business group’s membership to move ahead with the studies, the BIA is expecting to begin work on both studies by February, and hopes to have them completed in about six months’ time. They will cost in the range of about $20,000 each, said Sudds. The business group is currently seeking grant opportunities, through both the province and the city, to lower costs to the BIA. While the business group’s board also highlighted a need for greater involvement with post-secondary schools, the focus remained on drawing attention to the innovation and success in the Kanata North area. One of the most exciting events the BIA will be holding this year is a TEDx presentation, said Sudds. TED (technology, entertainment and design)Talks are presentations of 18 minutes or less about ideas related to tech-

The TED non-profit organization began in 1984 with a mission to spread ideas, and has since become a prominent YouTube channel. A TEDx is an independently run TED speaking event. Six to seven speakers from north Kanata and elsewhere will share innovative and unique ideas during speaking presentations at the TEDx event, planned for March 26 of next year. Though the event will have

speakers on various topics, the intention is to garner more attention for the Kanata North area. “We are very excited about being able to bring that to Kanata,” said Sudds. “I think it’s just another one of those efforts that shows the world what we are doing and what we are all about.” During the AGM, the membership of the business group re-elected the existing slate of board members as they had not yet completed their four years of service.

Lions boost eye health, future hospice with $40,000 in donations Nevil Hunt nevil.hunt@metroland.com

Kanata Lions Club members made one of their largestever donations on Nov. 25, and then a few minutes later turned around and donated even more. First came $15,000 to the Hospice Ottawa West campaign, earmarked to furnish a room in the future hospice. A cheque for $25,000 was then presented to representatives of the Ottawa Hospital Eye Institute; money that will buy a piece of equipment to more accurately diagnose eye problems. Lion Peggy Feltmate said the money was raised bit by bit. “We’ve run euchres, we used to do bingo, and we operate the hall and (hall) rentals,” she said, adding the club has more recently added scrapbooking days and a day of e-waste collection. “In the past we focused on smaller donations,” Feltmate added, although the club has purchased vans for the police, fire and Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre. The club members decided

to buy a piece of equipment for the eye institute because Lions clubs around the world dedicate themselves to prevention of blindness and support for the blind. Feltmate said Lions have worked on sight issues since Helen Keller attended a Lions convention in 1925 and challenged members to act as “Knights of the Blind.” Since 1990, two international Lion campaigns have raised more than $400 million to fund work on preventable and reversible blindness. The open house event on Nov. 25 was held at the Lion Dick Brule Community Centre, which also hosted a brainstorming session earlier this year to choose which charitable causes to support. The meeting to decide priorities for a five-year period provided 11 ideas, Feltmate said, and two were selected. The $15,000 donation to the hospice was made in honour of Avis Templeton, a long-time Lion who died earlier this year. “It has a special meaning for us,” Feltmate said of the donation, which will be used to fur-

nish a room at the hospice. Dr. Kashif Baig of the eye institute was on hand to receive the Lions’ donation. He said the equipment that will be purchased with the money – likely an aberrometer – will allow more accurate diagnoses of eye problems such as cataracts, which he called “a life-changing procedure.” An aberrometer works like radar, sending out pulses that bounce back to the equipment, providing a detailed picture of the inside of the eye. “Sometimes it’s hard to tell what part of the eyeball we need to work on,” Baig said, adding the eye’s cornea or lens may be the issue. People who have suffered trauma or young children may also be unable to communicate their symptoms, adding further challenges to a diagnosis. “This can help us pinpoint where the problem is, what kind of problem and what treatment is needed,” he said. In addition to more accurate diagnoses, Baig said an aberrometer will also be used for research at the eye institute. And once it’s in operation, ophthalmologists

and optometrists across the region will be able to refer patients for closer examinations when they have a concern. Baig was keen to thank the Lions Club members for the donation. “This is going to make a big impact on people who can’t see,” he said. “Keep doing what your doing, because we appreciate it.” The club’s donation to the 10-bed hospice planned on McCurdy Drive in Kanata was received by Rabbi Reuven Bulka, the chair of the Hospice Ottawa West fundraising campaign. With a fundraising goal of $6 million, Bulka said the current total raised stands at $4.75 million. “The last loonie is always hardest to get,” Bulka said, adding that the goal is to put shovels in the ground next summer. He called the planned hospice

Ottawa police tactical officers didn’t have a chance to help a highly respected veteran police officer before he took his own life at police headquarters in September. “It cannot be said that anything they did or omitted to do would have caused the scenario to have ended any differently,” Tony Loparco, director of Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit, said in his Nov. 26 decision to not charge any Ottawa police officers with a criminal offence in connection with the death of Staff Sgt. Kal Ghadban. Though they were in the same building, they did not have any direct interaction with him, Loparco said. “As a result, no criminal liability for negligence could attach to any member of the tactical team.” The civilian agency, which investigates cases involving police in which there has been a death, serious injury or an alleged sexual assault, sent three investigators and a forensic investigator to determine whether those tactical officers who responded minutes before the 43year-old married father of three

Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit has concluded that Ottawa police tactical officers are not criminally negligent in connection with the death of Staff Sgt. Kal Ghadban in September.

Ad # 2013-12-6057-25310-S

R0013031740-1204

accounts, as well as autopsy findings and forensic evidence, corroborate that Ghadban ended his own life. It was a coincidence, Loparco said, that the tactical officers happened to be at police headquarters on Sept. 28 after providing security during the annual Canadian Police and Peace Officers’ Memorial at Parliament Hill when they received reports that Ghadban might be suicidal. The officers fanned out – some went to Ghadban’s locker and discovered his firearm wasn’t secured inside, while others went looking for him at his office located in the street crime unit. While the unit’s door was unlocked, one officer saw that the door to Ghadban’s private inner office was closed, prompting a senior tactical officer to begin mobilizing the rest of the specialized team. Two officers stayed behind and were moving furniture around when they soon heard a gunshot. Officers quickly followed a colleague carrying a ballistic shield into the inner office where Ghadban was suffering

from a gunshot wound. He was transported to hospital where he was later pronounced dead. 10 MINUTES

In his findings, Loparco said 10 minutes had passed from the time the officers were alerted about Ghadban and the shooting. When they heard the gunshot, about a couple of minutes had gone by since the three officers had first entered the unit. “No one attempted to communicate with him prior to his shooting himself. The team hadn’t even had a chance to organize and assemble before having to quickly enter the inner office; they were too late to make a difference,” Loparco said. \ “It cannot be said that anything they did or omitted to do would have caused the scenario to have ended any differently.” In his 22 years working for the Ottawa Police Service, Ghadban worked on patrol, as a major crime detective and prior to his death was the staff sergeant in charge of the service’s street crime, break and enter and human trafficking units.

Tierney elected to head Ontario caucus for Federation of Canadian Municipalities laura.mueller@metroland.com

Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney is taking on a leadership role for Ontario at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. Tierney, who has served as vice-chairman of FCM’s Ontario caucus for a year and a half, was unanimously elected as its new chairman during a recent event in Ottawa. “I’m very proud to be elected amongst my peers from throughout Ontario,” Tierney said. The position was open following the Oct. 27 municipal elections in Ontario, which saw former Ontario caucus chairwoman Joanne Ross-Zuj, mayor of Centre Wellington, defeated. The role means Tierney will have a seat at the table as the federation develops policies it will advocate for on behalf of more than 2,000 member municipalities across the country. “It’s about really being involved at the ground level,” Tierney said.

The east-end councillor has been participating as a director on FCM’s board since he was first elected as a city councillor four years ago. Before that, Ottawa had not had a representative on FCM for eight years. The group represents the interests of municipalities on policy and program issues within the federal government’s jurisdiction, which is why it’s especially significant for Ottawa to have a voice at that table, Tierney said. He took part in three days of meetings Nov. 19 to 21 with parliamentarians as part of FCM’s annual advocacy days, during which 100 municipal leaders met with 145 MPs to discuss solutions to national issues that play out on the local level.

Eight new Ottawa city councillors sworn in Timmy’s-sponsored ceremony marks start of city’s ‘most productive and exciting’ term: Mayor Jim Watson Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

The new city council was sworn in for what will be the most “historic, productive, decisive and exciting” years in the city’s history, Mayor Jim Watson said during the Dec. 1 inaugural ceremony. Watson took the declaration of office, which was administered by justice of the peace Louise Logue, followed by eight new and 15 returning councillors, during a ceremony held at Centrepointe Theatre. Whoops and cheers went up from the crowd as each councillor’s name was called. Cheers were particularly loud for the new Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish, who was celebrating his 29th birthday during the swearing-in; for Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney, the first openly queer woman elected to Ot-

tawa council; and for returning Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney, whose friends and family held up signs spelling out his name. Clad in the chain of office and a ceremonial crimson robe with fur trim, Watson gave his second inaugural address as mayor of the amalgamated city. This term, Watson said, will be defined by light-rail transit. Construction of the first phase of the LRT line will be completed by 2018 – the end of this term of council – and will be the single largest infrastructure project in the city since the Rideau Canal was built. “We know that this opportunity is a result of the hard work of those who have come before us,” he told a crowd of several hundred friends, loved ones and campaign workers who gathered in the theatre to celebrate. “Today, we are emboldened by the strong mandate we have been

first stage. Light rail is just one of the projects aimed at making Ottawa a bolder, innovative and more dynamic capital, Watson said in his speech. A redevelopment and expansion of Arts Court, the construction of the Bayview Innovation Centre and perhaps even a new central library will solidify the capital’s reputation as a place to “learn and create,” the mayor said. Watson said he wants those qualities to be on full display in 2017, when all eyes will be on Ottawa as Canada celebrates its 150th anniversary. The event calendar for those celebrations is already filling up and Watson said he hopes to add the Grey Cup, the JUNO Awards and an NHL Outdoor Game to the list. Watson quoted former OttawaCarleton MP and National Capital Commission chairwoman Jean Pigott, who said the capital should be considered every Canadian’s second hometown. Ottawa needs to be as welcoming to tourists as it is for its own population, the mayor said. The capital needs to present itself as a “dynamic, innovative and proud” city. “Over the next four years, we’ll show them just who we are,” Watson said. “In doing so, we will change the way the world sees our city.” The evening also included musical presentations from OrKIDstra, the Mezzanine String Quartet and the Canterbury High School Chamber Chorus. The national anthem was performed by Angelique Francis. Tim Horton’s again sponsored the refreshments for the reception following the ceremony, saving the city $15,000, Watson said.

‘Commercial creep’ dominates zoning review

Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

City planning staff has been working for months to create sought-after certainty in land uses, but some community activists were caught off guard on Nov. 25. The planning committee met for the last time this term to table a massive rezoning report that aims to put into practice the goals outlined in the city’s new Official Plan, which was approved last fall after a consultation dubbed “Building a Liveable Ottawa,” which saw record public participation. The recommended changes involve possible rezoning of 4,000 properties facing 100

kilometres of road frontage in different areas of the city – mostly main streets and arterial roads, as well as town centres and mixed use centres. The city’s program manager for zoning, intensification and neighbourhoods, Alain Miguelez, said it’s a large undertaking, but the goal is to reduce something community groups tend to decry: spot rezonings, in which a developer asks the city to change the rules to allow a particular building proposal. Some Glebe residents, including Carolyn McKenzie, expressed concerns about the effects of allowing six-storey multi-use buildings along Bronson Avenue. McKenzie said she wasn’t aware of the consultation, which was advertised in community newspapers and via flyers and letters sent to affected property owners. Glebe resident Neil Pearson said the result will be more traffic. “There are traffic implications with that sort of thing,” he said. John Sankey, president of the south-end Hunt Club

Community Organization, had the same worry. 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 Club-area 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.” NO CHANGE

But a city planning manager said the move doesn’t change the transportation function of the street. “There is no discrepancy in my mind at all,” Miguelez said. “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 the Official Plan goal that’s been in place since 2003, Miguelez said. “By putting in the zoning, nothing is going to change overnight,” Miguelez said. “The street will evolve as people find opportunities.” Traditional main street zoning proposed for Bronson, as well as the section of Preston Street north of Somerset Street West, also worried some downtown advocates. Lori Mellor, executive director of the Preston Street Business Improvement Area, as well as Eric Darwin of the Dalhousie Community Association, said they were surprised to see the city extend commercial uses to a section of Preston that’s currently residential.

“The BIA believes that if it bleeds into the residential zone, it will provide too much capacity and water down our main street, leading to vacancies,” Mellor said.

“If the land use changes, the street has to follow” JOHN SANKEY

Darwin said strong residential areas are needed to help provide customers for the businesses on traditional main streets. “I’ve always advocated that we recognize these stable residential areas as residential areas,” he said.

Thomas McVeigh, who is resuming his role as Centretown Citizens Community Association president after his unsuccessful campaign for Somerset Ward councillor, also had concerns. “We need to look at what works on our main streets and ensure we don’t shoot ourselves in the foot going forward,” he said. Somerset Coun. Diane Holmes put forward some proposed amendments to protect Preston’s residential area and lower building height limits on Bronson. City planners will consider those and other suggested amendments, as well as feedback from the public, before returning to the new planning committee with a comprehensive report, likely in February.

It’s no secret that many post-secondary students partake in drinking in their new-found surroundings – a situation that can become dangerous if students go overboard with booze. Algonquin College wants to provide students with the information needed to make healthy choices at party time. On Nov. 26, the college hosted a Party Smart event in the student commons, teaming up with on-campus resources, Ottawa Public Health, Ottawa police and even Ford of Canada. Under the supervision of police, an Impairment Suit was rolled out by a local Ford dealer to give volunteers a taste of how alcohol impairs the body’s movement and co-ordination. Sgt. John Kiss is manager of the Ottawa police impaired driving countermeasures program, and he helped Ford of Canada suit up volunteers in their impairment simulator. Kiss said he was amazed at “the subtle effects it has on your balance and your perception,” adding that the suit is able to cause sober test subjects to fail sobriety tests at the same ratio as those who are actually impaired. “A student can come, put the suit on very quickly, and experience how dangerous it is to even consider driving a car while they’re impaired,” said Kiss. “I hope to acquire one of our own for training and public presentation purposes, because I was quite amazed by what a powerful tool it is.” Using the tagline Party Smart … and Keep it Classy, the event was presented by the Safer Ottawa Drinking Alliance, Algonquin College Student Support Services and Algonquin College Health Services. Terry-Lynne Marko of Ottawa Public Health said that Algonquin, La Cite Collegiale and the University of Ot-

tawa are on board with SODA, while Carleton University has its own version of the organization. “It’s a one-stop shop for information,” said Marko. “We’re trying to meet students where they’re at, and give them a variety of information, resources, tips, tools and techniques.” The message being delivered wasn’t one of prohibition – rather, it encouraged students to be aware of how much alcohol they are consuming. “It’s about if you’re choosing to drink, you’re drinking responsibly,” she said. To that end, the college’s health services staff invited students to participate in an experiment, using greencoloured “faux alcohol” and a variety of glassware to show how easily a person can be misled into thinking they’re drinking less than they actually are.

“Nobody busts out a measuring glass to measure their shots” KELSI FITZGERALD

“A lot of the time, when people first enter college there’s this mentality that there’s going to be a lot of parties and they’re going to drink a lot,” said student and health promotion educator Kelsi Fitzgerald. “Not a lot of us are measuring, and I expect that not a lot of adults who are regular drinkers are either. Nobody busts out a measuring glass to measure their shots. What we’re trying to do is show is that when you say you’ve only had three drinks in a night, you haven’t had three drinks – what you’re pouring yourself could be six drinks.” Students enrolled in a bartending course at the college’s school of hospitality and tourism were on hand to prepare non-alcoholic drinks, giving students a taste of what could be served alongside alcohol or on its own. Also advertised was a taxi smartphone app, available at ottawataxiapp. net, which allows people to hail a cab with a touch of a button.

The Trim Road realignment project has been delayed until fall 2015, said senior engineer Joe Mojsej. However, he’s hopeful that weather pending, four paved lanes will be open to vehicle traffic from

highway 174 to Portobello Boulevard by mid-December. Mojsej provided an update at a Cardinal Creek Community Association public meeting on Nov. 20.  “We had a bad summer; we had 20 rain dates,â€? he said. “It does hamper their production.â€? If the construction company misses their future deadline, there will be a monetary penalty.  But Mojsej is hopeful that opening the four lanes in the preliminary stage will help the commute and

take a step towards removing bottlenecks. “The goal is to get people home quicker instead of just getting the work done quicker,� he said. There will still be a major project and road closure in 2015, when St. Joseph Boulevard needs to close from the highway 174 on-ramp – which is east of Tenth Line Road – to Taylor Creek Boulevard. There will be detours set up for the St. Joseph Boulevard closure, which will take about 75 days.

Police warn shoppers to lock it or lose it Staff

This holiday season Ottawa police are reminding shoppers to lock up their vehicles. The Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police launched its “lock it or lose it” campaign at three shopping centres in the city on Nov. 27. The campaign encourages drivers to take precautions to protect their vehicles and the contents in a vehicle from theft. Tips and hints to help secure holiday shopping items in your car include: • Remove valuables and shopping bags from view -- this includes loose change and electronic devices such as iPods, cell phones

and GPS navigation systems. • Never leave your vehicle running and unattended. • Close windows and lock the doors. • Never leave your car or house keys in your vehicle. • Park in well lit areas with pedestrian traffic. • When returning to your vehicle carrying bags, place them in trunk, and then drive away to a different parking spot if shopping is not completed. Thieves notice unattended vehicles that have new purchases for them to take. Aside from following some of these tips, police also encourage shoppers to partici-

pate in its anti-theft program, “All Valuables Removed.” The key component to the program is a bright yellow theft prevention card which has both a checklist for drivers as well as in large print the words “all valuables removed” and the Ottawa police emblem. According to police, when the cards are placed in the window of the vehicle it helps deter theft -- letting would-be-thieves know not to bother searching your vehicle. The “All Valuables Removed” warning cards are available at community police centres and police stations’ information desks and by request at pia@ ottawapolice.ca.

Police looking for suspect in Michelle Heights shooting Staff

Tragedy was averted by fate in the Michele Heights neighbourhood on Nov. 26, after bullets fired into an upstairs window of a home in the 2900 block of Penny Drive missed the four children playing inside it.

Ottawa police are appealing for the public’s help in finding the shooter. The shooting took place at approximately 8:45 p.m. on Nov. 26. “Multiple shots” were fired into the home from the rear of the property, according to police.

The bullets missed the children playing in the room and no injuries were reported. The police’s guns and gangs unit is investigating the incident. Random gun violence became a growing concern this year as the city saw a record number of shoot-

ings. In the west-end community, a gunshot was reported on nearby Richie Street on Oct. 10, while an apartment building on Iris Street was riddled with bullets -fired from a vehicle on Oct. 3. In May of 2013, the Britannia Woods and Mi-

chelle Heights residents held a public meeting with community stakeholders to look at ways to reduce violence, following the earlier Richie Street shooting death of Malik Adjokatcher. However the city has seen a decrease in the number of homicides this

year, with only six so far. Anyone with information on the Nov. 26 shooting is asked to call the police guns and gangs unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5050. Anonymous tips can be sent to Crime Stoppers by calling 613-233-8477 or toll-free at 1-800-2228477.

What do articling students do? As an articling student, you are a lawyer-in-training. At this stage of your legal education, while working under the supervision of an Articling Principal, you are given the opportunity to apply your knowledge to real life situations.

Hunt Club family walks across new bridge to honour loved one Erin McCracken

Wearing her son’s black Puma sneakers and Puma baseball cap – the items Kenny Dagenais was wearing when he was struck and killed by a taxi as he crossed the Airport Parkway in 2007 – Heather Dawson finally walked along the Airport Parkway pedestrian-cycling bridge for the first time. “He’s walking that bridge,” she said, thankful the struc-

ture was finally opened on Nov. 29 after years of waiting and hoping. Though it was a sad day for her, the opening of the bridge marked a victory for Heather and the rest of her family, who gathered for the ribbon-cutting ceremony and procession across the structure. “I can’t believe it. Couldn’t be happier,” she said. “If that bridge saves one life, it’s worth every bit of frustration, waiting and hoping

I know my grandchildren are all going to use that bridge.” Her husband George said the opening of the longawaited span brings him tremendous relief. “Because nobody else is going to be hit on the parkway crossing,” he said. “They can use the bridge. It’s wheelchair accessible. It’s bicycle accessible. You can walk. “Whatever way you want to cross ... you get across safely. That’s the main thing – that nobody else is going to be hit or killed on the parkway.” A loud cheer went up among dozens of residents and dignitaries moments before the pedestrian-cycling bridge was officially opened by Mayor Jim Watson, outgoing River Ward Coun.

Businesses in Vanier are taking a stand against crime taking place along the neighbourhood’s main streets. The Quartier Vanier Merchants Association launched its new initiative, Crime Intolerance Zone -- a poster campaign -- at the Montreal Road business Bobby’s Table on Nov. 26. The poster campaign will see posters displayed in stores, restaurants and as many businesses along Montreal Road, and Beechwood and McArthur avenues. The posters will also adorn the city’s poster collars in the district. “These posters are a reminder to us, and our customers, that we all have to be vigilant when it comes to making our community safer and a better place to live and work,� said Bill Dicks,

patrol the business streets to meet with business owners, work on beautification projects, including graffiti removal and greeting visitors. The association has also announced it will install new pedestrian LED lights and lampposts for Beechwood Avenue. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury said Vanier has seen a drop in crime and credits this to the work all the community organization and leaders have done. “I applaud initiatives which bring partners together,â€? Fleury said. Vanier Community police officer Const. Jacques Carrière said the recent work by the business improvement association has produced positive results. Carrière added the most effective way for police to address crime in the area is for residents and businesses to report crimes.

Bobby’s Table co-owner and chairman of the Quartier Vanier Safety Committee. “They are a call to action and remind us of the importance of reporting crime.� Dicks’ restaurant was one of the first businesses to display the poster. This initiative was born out of multiple businesses along the Quartier’s mainstreets growing tired of seeing crime taking place in front of their shops. In the spring, the association began conducting safety audits for its businesses owners. The audits produced recommendations such as how to properly light the business, review sight lines and natural surveillance techniques. During the summer months, the association employs summer police consisting of criminology and sociology students for its Ambassador Patrol Team, who

Lasers

Trio of losses show Lasers penalty box problems Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

The Kanata Lasers pair of games against the number one team in the Central Canada Hockey League and a far more winnable shot at Gloucester revealed the young team just can’t stay out of the penalty box. With some recent player acquisitions giving Kanata some greater depth, the Lasers stack up well against just about any team in a five-on-five contest, said Lasers head coach Darcy Findlay. But when you are killing penalties, the team is stumbling where they should be advancing. “Penalty after penalty, that’s the issue,” said Findlay. This was especially apparent during the team’s game against the Gloucester Rangers on Nov. 23, where the Lasers sustained 33 minutes in penalties, giving the Rangers eight power play opportunities. Findlay considered the game against Gloucester, a team currently third in the Yzerman division, as a winnable one and an important stepping stone for Kanata to pull themselves from the bottom of the division. But Gloucester capitalized on their power plays, something the Lasers have had difficulty with, and scored four goals. Kanata managed to make good one-on-one power play opportunity, but finished the game 5-1 for the Rangers. “(Penalties) just killed us,” said

Findlay. “We would get 30 seconds, and then we would have to kill another one,” he said. “We shot ourselves in the foot.” The Lasers next faced the Carleton Place Canadians, the first place team in the league, in two back-to-back games on Nov. 27 and 28. Though Kanata continued to take significant penalties, moments of brilliants gave the Lasers a look at their potential, said Findlay. Bringing their penalties down to eight minutes total during their second game against Carleton Place, the Lasers put up a strong fight during their first period, said Findlay. “The first period of the game was probably our best of the year,” he said. “We dominated the play, got a lot of puck possession time in the offensive zone, made very few mental errors and turnovers. Then, unfortunately, (Carleton Place) scored four goals in the first six minutes of the second period.” Findlay attributes the goals to a mental lapse from the Lasers, still confident from their first period where no goals were scored. Nonetheless, Kanata put up a good fight for the rest of the game, scoring two goals of their own in the second period, and finishing the game with a score of 5-2 for the Canadians. There was a lot to learn from Carleton Place, said Findlay – a team that puts in the work during one-onone battles, makes few mistakes and

capitalizes on mistakes made by the opposing team. Much of their success comes down to the team’s age, said Findlay. Kanata is still learning when to be aggressive and when to clear the puck and make a change, said Findlay. That’s part of the reason why the Lasers continue to take penalties – making poor decisions due to fatigue. Another area of the game Findlay is pushing is what to do without the puck. “I always say three quarters of the game, if not probably a little more than that is all about the play without the puck,” he said. “Our kids are in the right spots, they are executing the system, they are where they are supposed to be, but now that you are there, what are you supposed to do? Who are you supposed to be picking up? Where is your stick supposed to be, in what lane? So that’s sort of where we are at as a team now.” Findlay said he has high hopes for the Lasers next game against Gloucester on Dec. 5, especially with some new faces on the Kanata roster. With four new forwards from places like Cornwall, Gloucester and Wellington, Findlay said the Lasers have become one of the deeper teams in the league with several capable offensive lines. “We are just waiting for those guys to blend in and to gain some chemistry with the pieces we already had,” he said.

It will shave off commute times, “but most importantly this is a safe connection,” she said. While it took years to open, River Ward residents have been steadfast in supporting the completion of the infrastructure project despite “hiccups along the way.” Mayor Jim Watson said though he was initially “a bit of a doubting Thomas” about plans to put up such a “fancy” bridge, he said the gateway to the nation’s capital will welcome tourists and dignitaries coming down the parkway after arriving in the city. He also acknowledged the challenges of completing the project. Construction began in 2011 and was expected to take about eight months, but problems with the design of the suspension tower prompted a partial do-over. The project was originally budgeted at $6.9 million and then in 2013 council approved an additional $4.65 million for the project, bringing the total to $11.55 million. This summer, the city launched a lawsuit against WSP Canada Inc., which was known as Genivar when it designed the faulty bridge tower that had to be reconstructed. The city is hoping to recover $5.8 million through legal action. “But we did persevere because we knew that this bridge was an important part of the transportation network for putting together two great communities,” Watson said, adding that it is also critical for providing residents with safe passage. After walking across the newly opened structure, the Dawson family gathered in the shadow of the bridge to place a Christmas wreath on a white cross. On the memorial, a faded pho-

tograph of their 26-year-old son is accompanied by a warning that has urged others to be careful when crossing the parkway. “I guess we don’t need that anymore,” Heather said. Deans also recognized the importance of providing a safe passageway for residents, and though the project was fraught with delays and problems, she said “not all of them were the city’s doing, but when an engineer puts the stamp on a project you should be able to rely on that, but we couldn’t. “So it’s been frustrating and it’s over budget, but hopefully the city, through legal means, will recoup that money.” With the opening of the bridge, the span provides an important connection between neighbourhoods, she said. “It’s a key access point to the South Keys transit station and from a transit perspective this is a critical link between communities, so linking River Ward to GloucesterSouthgate, linking River Ward to all of the facilities and the shopping opportunities in Gloucester-Southgate,” said Deans. Her ward’s cycling advisory and community associations provided feedback on the design of the project. “So this is a very exciting day for residents of Gloucester-Southgate Ward,” she said. Likewise, Wilkinson, who chaired the city’s transportation committee when work on the bridge initially got underway in 2011, was pleased to be part of the ribbon-cutting since she also participated in the initial sod-turning ceremony. “It’s really nice to see it finished,” she said.

Life stories put to paper with Great Stories Never Told program If Eugene Perabo had to sum up his life story in a word, it would be “adventure.” His life story, which he wrote and orally dictated for a video, details his childhood life in the Netherlands when his father was sent to a concentration camp, travelling to developing countries as an adult, and cycling and canoe adventures with his wife and children. Perabo’s story is one of 10 that have been compiled through the Great Stories Never Told program run by Sonshine Families, a community organization based in Orléans. The goal of the project is for seniors to pass on their history to future generations of family. Perabo decided to take part after reading about the program in the newspaper. “I realized many of the children or grandchildren knew very little about their grandparents,” he said. The organization received funding from the New Horizons for Seniors program that paid for high definition video cameras and lighting equipment. Volunteers helped program participants put together their stories. It took about 18 hours per person to compose the stories, which average 25 pages in length. They then orally detailed their life story, which was edited to 45 minutes and put on a DVD. The stories were then edited, photos added, and sent to the printer. Each participant will receive a copy of the DVD and book, but program manager Kofo Iziomon said some participants purchased up to 20 copies. “I think of C.S. Lewis, who wrote Chronicles of Narnia for his goddaughter,” Iziomon said. “I think these will have a similarly tremendous impact on generations of the future.” She said some of the participants didn’t think they had a great story to tell, but were able to realize how much they had contributed to their community by putting the years of their lives on paper. “They realize all they’ve con-

Participants had the option to compose their life story in English or French, but everyone chose to complete theirs in English, Iziomon said. Perabo has lived in Orléans for 10 years, and has already begun to write part of his life story when he heard about the program. It seemed like a good opportunity for him to compose his own life story. “It’s initially a little bit stressful,” Perabo said. “But once you get going, you remember more than you can put on paper.” He purchased 10 copies of the book of his life story, and plans to give a copy to each of his children. He may have it translated into Dutch and German in the future for siblings or other relatives who live abroad. He used copies of a diary he started at age 17, which helped jog his memory of his early days as a 19-year-old who had just arrived in Canada. After several drafts and edits with help from his wife, Perabo’s story is now complete, and will be highlighted alongside the nine others at an event for family members on Dec. 13. There will be a screening of highlights of each of their stories at the Promenade Seniors Suites for the participants and up to four family members of each of them. Izioman will attend as both the program co-ordinator and relative of a participant, as her own mother put together a life story that will be able to be passed down generations. Some participants were apprehensive about being filmed for the video and sharing the details of their lives, but she is excited to see participants’ reactions to the final product. “When everybody sees it, they’ll think, ‘Wow, that’s awesome,’” she said.

Community keen on new, urban vision for South Keys Walkable, cycling-friendly changes proposed for future south-end plaza redevelopment Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

A move to “urbanize” South Keys Shopping Centre and the surrounding area is gaining support from many residents, despite some concerns about traffic. The reaction to a new community design plan to guide the next 20 to 50 years of redevelopment of a southern section of Bank Street from the bridge where it crosses the CN Rail tracks to Queensdale Avenue was mostly positive during the last public open house on Nov. 25. “I like the way they want to develop more of a community area,” resident Ralph Pentland said of the South Keys Shopping Centre land. “It will become a centre of activity.” The plan looks at land uses and transportation issues within the entire South Keys-Blossom Park corridor, but much of the focus is on turning a vast swath of big-box stores and parking lots into a walkable, vibrant urban community with a handful of new parks, with parking moved underground. There are no imminent plans for redevelopment in the area, said Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans, but the owner of the South Keys Shopping Centre land is on board and was key in initiating the study. A representative of the landowner was not available for comment about plans for the site. The vision is to create a complete

community in the South Keys area, with housing and offices creating a density of residents and employees who will use the two Transitway stations at the site – Greenboro and South Keys – and shop at the retail stores and restaurants. The city’s own land at the north end of the plaza, which is currently used as a park-and-ride lot, could eventually be used for housing if the O-Train is extended south to Findlay Creek and the need for the parking lot dies out. The potential O-Train extension could happen after 2018, once the city is done building the first phase of light rail downtown. Buildings at Greenboro and South Keys transit stations could be up to 21 storeys high. Towers of up to 15 storeys would also be allowed at the Bank-Hunt Club intersection and nine storeys for the rest of that section of Bank Street would be allowed if city council approves the plan next spring. Building heights in all other areas mainly stay the same. Taller buildings at Bank and Hunt Club would have to transition to lower heights as they get closer to nearby residences. And while most of the handful of residents who spoke up during the meeting expressed concerns about the increased traffic congestion new developments would bring, transportation planner Adam Howell said the focus will be on making it easier for residents to avoid getting in their cars to get around. No new roads will be built, nor will roads in the area be widened to accommodate more vehicles, said Howell, a consultant from MMM Group. Instead, new crosswalks, better sidewalks and lanes for bicycles are aimed at helping reduce the proportion of

LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND

City staffers were on hand to explain plans for a new community design plan intended to spark redevelopment in the South Keys and Blossom Park area. people who rely solely on their cars to get around, thereby tempering traffic tensions. One of the more tenuous proposals to accomplish that goal is the possibility of re-aligning Daze Road, which currently curves between Bank Street and Hunt Club Road and provides an attractive detour to get around that major intersection. In the future, the planners might propose rebuilding Daze with a 90-degree turn in the middle instead of a curve, which would provide a more direct and pedestrian friendly route – and view – to the South Keys Transitway Station. The change would also provide a better connection with a proposed main street that would run north-

south through the shopping centre land, Howell said. City planner Jillian Savage envisions a lively street flanked with wide sidewalks where people could stroll, shop and stop for a beverage or a bite at a patio. Raised cycling tracks – a type of bicycle lane that’s lifted above the road surface at the same height as the sidewalk – are proposed for the length of Bank Street in the study area in the long term. Residents who attended the Nov. 25 meeting asked if there was any way to limit the number of auto dealerships in the area. While there are no plans to forbid car sales lots, Savage said, an area currently zoned as an industrial park along the south side of Hunt Club Road east of Bank

Street, as well as part of Sieveright Drive, will be given expanded opportunities as a mixed-use zone. That means landowners would have permission to use the land for things like low-rise apartment buildings, stacked townhomes, and commercial buildings up to six storeys high, which might prove to be more profitable uses for the land than the current lineup of car dealerships there. The draft plan also includes direction to expand and naturalize the Sawmill Creek corridor. The city is accepting comments on the community design plan proposals until Jan. 7, 2015. More information about the plan is available at ottawa.ca and comments can be sent to southbankstreetCDP@ottawa.ca.

Privately owned ice rink, training facility planned for Leitrim Half-size rink, fitness gym, therapy and meeting area to help teams and players hone skills, nutrition Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A new privately owned ice rink and recreational centre where teams and individuals can hone their skills on the ice and in the gym is in the works to set up shop in Leitrim in 2015. The proposed two-storey, 2,500square-metre facility at 2600 Leitrim Rd. just west of Albion Road, known as Amped Sports Lab and Ice Complex, will feature a fitness gym, therapy, meeting and changing rooms and a training ice rink measuring 20 by 37 metres – half the size of a regular ice surface. Athletes of all ages will be able to train on and off the ice as a team or as individuals and participate in various workshops to develop their motor skills and nutrition and provide specific instruction on such topics as goalie development.

Weight training will be offered, as well as a skating treadmill and a physiotherapy clinic. The ice will be primarily used for hockey, and, to a lesser degree, ringette. “It’s partly driven by a shortage of ice, but partly driven by a shortage of, really, a facility that can provide a destination for kids to go and have access to a variety of different tools to help them create a healthier lifestyle,” said Andrew Creese, a partner in the enterprise with fellow Riverside South resident Jordan Burgess, a physiotherapist. They also have a minority partner in the company of the same name, Amped, which ties in with what the partners hope to accomplish. “We’re looking to amplify your sports proficiency,” said Creese. “I anticipate it’ll get shortened to Amped: ‘I’m going to Amped,’ that type of thing. And it creates a destination.” The site control plan paperwork is now before the city’s planning and growth management department, and pending approval, possibly at the end of January, construction could begin in March or April to allow the complex to open next fall. Creese and Burgess are hoping

the doors will open in September. They have been involved as coaches and hockey dads in local minor hockey for years, and launched their company in June. One of the challenges was in finding the right location in south Ot-

tawa that would serve people living within a 15-minute drive. Located on almost three hectares in Leitrim, north of Findlay Creek, the complex is designed to service nearby communities as well as Metcalfe, Greely, Riverside South, Barrhaven and Manotick. “As a hockey dad, like many par-

ents, I think this will be a welcome addition to the community,” said former Gloucester-South Nepean councillor Steve Desroches, who helped the business partners navigate the application process with the city. “Most of the youth in the southeast part of Ottawa, in Findlay Creek and Riverside South, play at Fred Barrett Arena, and it’s under tremendous pressure. “This is the private sector responding to an opportunity to support hockey, ringette and other skating activities. I think we’re bursting at the seams.” The sale of the land closed in September. Given the enormous demand for ice in Ottawa, particularly in the fast growing neighbourhoods of the south part of the city, players don’t get the chance to practice as often as they would like, said Creese. “Most hockey models out there, within their season, your practiceto-game ratio is not high enough,” he said. “Everybody likes to play the games, but if you want to develop your skills to get better it’s not going to happen in a game.” Like his business partner, Creese

is on the road throughout the week shuttling his two boys to minor hockey practices and games. “We’re on the ice, between the two of them, about 11 times a week right now,” he said of his sons. His 12year-old plays for the Leitrim Hawks and his 10-year-old son plays at the major atom level with the Gloucester Rangers. It can be time consuming getting to practices, which are often held at 4:30 p.m. directly after school or later in the evening at 7 p.m., he said. For parents, shuttling kids to and from rinks across the city throughout the week is often a juggling act. “People are going to Stittsville. They’re going to Kanata. They’re going to Richcraft Sensplex, which at 5 o’clock, 4:30, it’s a tough drive,” he said. “So we think the location and the proximity for people will be a big value add, but also feel that the offering itself will stand on its own, above and beyond the location. “It is a challenge, there’s no question,” said Creese, who also plays hockey three times a week. “It’s gotten better with some new ice facilities opening, but there’s huge appetite for ice here.”

Mary Cook’s Memories cookies, which would be our lunch, since we expected to be in Renfrew well into the afternoon. We would be leaving the farm early, after a hasty breakfast. Before we children were even out of bed, Mother and Father would have arranged everything on the flat bottom sleigh, on top of layers of quilts covered with sparkly white flour bag sheets, and more blankets on top. Each fowl had to be placed just so if we hoped to sell them quickly. We knew the butter and mother’s sticky buns would go as soon as Father parked the sleigh. Parking the sleigh was another reason for going in at the crack of dawn. Where you parked was of prime importance. You hoped to be right in the centre of the main street. That’s where the townspeople would be walking to look over what you had to offer, but more important, the big buyers, the men who came yearly from Ottawa, would concentrate on the centre of Raglan Street. Of course, with the big sleigh covered with all the stuff Mother and Father hoped to sell, there was no room for us five kids, so we went in the double cutter, following behind, so full of

excitement we could hardly contain ourselves. Since it was so early in the morning, Father had no trouble finding a good spot right in front of Scott’s hardware, one of the busiest stores in the entire town of Renfrew. He parked the sleigh, unhitched the horses, and with Everett driving the cutter, they headed for the stables at the end of Raglan street. It wasn’t long until all the butter and the stickybuns were gone. I could see Mother’s little change purse starting to bulge. This was going to be good day – I could feel it in my bones. And the excitement of visiting the Five and Dime store was mounting by the minute. And then came the men in the long white coats, just like old Doctor Murphy wore at the hospital, over their winter outerwear. They had red embroidery on their pockets, letting everyone know they were from Canada Packers. They were all business, let me tell you. The dream, of course, was to have them buy everything you had on the sleigh in one fell swoop. They took off their big fur mitts and poked the turkeys, lifted a goose high the air and looked it over, and

good fortune, with their pockets and change purse bulging at the seams, we five kids felt we had been done out of a day of excitement, all because three fat men wearing white coats cleared our sleigh with one fell-swoop. Turkey Fair Day was over for another year. Mother could see our disappointment, and when the big sleigh turned into Briscoe’s General Store at Northcote, she made up for it, giving us each a nickel to buy what we want. Emerson headed for the licorice pipes, the others bought hard Christmas candy. I asked Mr. Briscoe to cut me off a couple slices of bologna, which I ate before we hit the cutter, so the day wasn’t a total loss after all.

pinched the chickens. They moved away from the sleigh and whispered, nodded, whispered some more, and then moved back to our sleigh. They obviously made Mother and Father an offer they couldn’t refuse, because I saw one of the white-coated men take a wad of bills out of his pocket as big as pickle crock, and start counting out the money into Mother’s outstretched hand. Another one of the men walked quickly away, and before you could pledge allegiance to the flag, a big green truck pulled up beside our sleigh, and they began loading everything into the back, which looked to me like it could hold two full grown heifers. And then our sleigh was empty. The look of sheer joy on Mother’s face was something to behold. Father who rarely showed emotion of any kind, kept saying, “Well, by golly. Well, by golly,” as he lit and relit his pipe. Emerson and Everett were sent to the drive shed for the cutter and the horses, and my dream of a full day in Renfrew evaporated before my eyes. There would be no trip to the Chinese restaurant where we brazenly ate our bagged lunches, and didn’t spend a cent. No stop at the bathrooms at the CPR station, and certainly no visit to the Five and Dime Store to look over the array of toys. Although Mother and Father couldn’t believe their

oing into Renfrew every Saturday for a couple hours while Mother delivered her wares and shopped for her weekly supplies was excitement enough. Going into Renfrew for an entire day was pure rapture. Imagine: a whole day from early morning until the big clock in the centre of town told us it was time to head back out to Northcote. This only happened once a year, however. That was the day, usually in early December, when Turkey Fair Day rolled around. The excitement out on the farm would be at fever-pitch for days. The night before, I was sure Mother and Father never even bothered going to bed. Chickens, turkeys, and a few geese would have to be ready. That meant making sure there wasn’t a feather in sight, the legs trussed up with string, and the necks tucked under.

St. Mark Lions shut out Glebe in hockey final Manotick team takes home third title in five years Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMMA JACKSON/METROLAND

The St. Mark Lions celebrate on home ice after their shut-out win over Glebe Collegiate for the city’s tier 1 non-contact boys’ hockey title on Nov. 27. St. Mark won 2-0 in the second game of the series. They won the first game 3-0.

The Kanata Kourier-Standard published a series of articles on my business. Now everyone knows how great we are!

The roar of cheering fans was second only to shouts of victory on the ice as St. Mark closed its second straight shutout to win the city’s noncontact hockey finals on Nov. 27. Left-winger Kyle Ainslie and defenceman Shayne Staffen each scored a goal for St. Mark to win 2-0 in front of a small but mighty crowd of supporters at the Manotick arena. Ainslie scored on a deflection just over a minute into the first period, putting his team into overdrive for the rest of the match.

“That kind of set the tone for the game right away,” said head coach Dave Zivkovic, who has coached the team for nine years. Staffen scored in the second period. Zivkovic said he was relieved to have the championship in hand – the third in five years – since the team came close to faltering at the end of the regular season. “We had a bit of a rough spot,” he said, explaining that four of their top players – including captain Riley Dunbar – were out with injuries. “We went from first place to fourth,” Zivkovic said. But in the semi-final game against top-ranked Franco Cite on Nov. 20, St. Mark players pulled off a miraculous 1-0 overtime win to secure their spot in the championship. “Once we survived that game the kids really knew they had a good chance of winning it all,” Zivkovic said. As the clock ran down on

Nov. 27, supporters counted down the seconds to the buzzer, erupting into cheers as the St. Mark team jumped into a celebratory pile in front of the net. Zivkovic said he and his fellow coaches – Mike Paron and Shawn MacEachern – savoured the moment, knowing it could be a while before they build up another championship team. Most of the players are in Grade 12, and Zivkovic expects only a handful of veterans to return next year. “The cupboard’s going to be bare,” he said. But that was a thought for another day. On Nov. 27, the team was focused on celebrating their comeback victory properly – something the crowd ensured when they gave the players a hero’s welcome as they emerged from the dressing room. “It’s something for them to remember for the rest of their lives,” Zivkovic said.

Skater eyes future Olympic medal Ivanie Blondin feels comfortable on world cup podium Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

Orléans speed skater Ivanie Blondin was a golden girl as she won her first world cup medal of the season. Blondin, who now resides in Calgary to train, won her firstever gold medal on the world cup circuit on Nov. 16 in Obihiro, Japan in the women’s mass start race. “It is something you aim for,” she said in an email. “But quite honestly, I wasn’t necessarily expecting it. I knew I had the potential to be on the podium, I just had to be patient and smart.” She followed it up with a bronze medal a week later in the 5,000-metre race at the world cup event in Seoul, South Korea.

Blondin said her background in short track skating helps her in the mass start events, as does her aggressive style. In the mass start event, skaters have to fight to end up in the best possible lane, so a quick start can give a skater a big advantage. “There was shoving and pushing, so it’s a good thing I can be aggressive,” she said. She won the 16-lap race over Nana Takagi of Japan by onetenth of a second. Third place went to Irene Schouten of the Netherlands. While Blondin has competed in mass start events during the past four world cup seasons, mass start wasn’t a medal event in the last Olympic Games, where Blondin competed in other distance races. It has been added to the Olympics medal events for the next Games. “I think it’s great. It’s definitely a race I can potentially bring a medal home for Canada,” she said about the mass start addition.

“If I can medal in this distance I also think I have the potential to medal in other distances as well.” In a press release, her coach Mark Wild said he’s been very happy with Blondin’s performance so far this season. “She came into the season motivated to improve her skating from last year,” he said. “We’ve put emphasis on improving technique and specific strength in the skating position. We’ve also worked on improving her endurance.” Blondin got her start competing for the Gloucester Concordes out of the Bob McQuarrie Recreation Complex.

52 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, December 4, 2014

Five artists are vying to be the one who will liven up a new city parking garage in the Glebe. The artists presented their proposals for project, located between Second and Third avenues, west of Bank Street in the Glebe at a public open house at St. Giles Presbyterian Church on Nov. 24. The request for submissions was first issued in November 2013, asking artists to create a piece of public art which will integrate visually significant elements to provide identity and character to the building. The theme for the project was to focus on the garage being a mobility hub -- something each of the five artists managed to do in their own way. West-end artist Karl Ciesluk’s proposal involves two 4.8-metre high sculptures which are to be placed on both Second and Third avenues. The first sculpture, a tire skid mark, is meant to represent that life is not always in control, Ciesluk said. The other, a larger-than-life blown out tire, is meant to represent the beauty in even the broken things, the artist explained. “Things that are trash, there can be beauty to it,” Ciesluk said. “They are sophisticated sculptures for a sophisticated neighbourhood.” Glebe artist Christopher Griffin’s proposal for the garage aims to help shoppers remember where they parked their cars he said. Griffin is proposing concrete support pillars which will be named

Dow’s Lake, Rideau Canal, Paterson Creek and Brown’s Inlet -- and add distinction to each of the four levels of the garage. “Instead of purple P4, it will be Dow’s Lake, with an associated street name,” Griffin said. The concrete pillars will be etched with water themes -something the artist said will be done almost immediately from the time the pillars are cast. “I will have about seven to 10 minutes to etch the designs,” he said. The artist said his proposal is all about adding local flavour to the parking garage. Michael Kinghorn’s proposal is a bit out of this world -- the artist has envisioned a rocket ship, which depending on the viewer’s perspective is either taking off or landing in the Glebe -- much like shoppers will be doing, Kinghorn said. The 3.6-metre high ship will be built almost completely from recycled material -which the artist said he looks forward to sourcing from the Glebe. Erin Robertson and Anna Williams said they hope their proposal for the Glebe Parking Garage will take flight for the site. Titled Way Station, the two have proposed goldcast finches which will be suspended in the stairwell of the garage. “We hope it warms up the space and brings the outside in,” Robertson said. Amy Thompson would like to brighten up the inside of the Glebe Parking Garage with

her art proposal for the site. Thompson is proposing and image of water and weeping willows s on the glass in the stairwell. The production and installation of a permanent piece of art will be integrated into the construction of the garage. The budget is $43,000 and must include all costs required to design, fabricate and installation of the project. Residents can comment on the proposed public art component by emailing publicartprogram@ottawa.ca or by filling out an online survey available at Ottawa.ca. According to the city, the winning proposal will be selected and announced by midDecember. The $9.5-million, fourstorey parking garage will replace existing 60-space city parking lot on that property. A municipal parking garage for the neighbourhood was initially approved when the last city council looked at redeveloping Lansdowne Park. The four-storey facility was aimed to increase available parking for Bank Street shoppers. The plans for the parking garage were originally supported by the councillor as a means to help out the parking-strapped Glebe, particularly with the redevelopment of Lansdowne underway. Construction for the project was initially supposed to start in the spring of 2014, but was delayed because the construction schedule proposed was deemed too ambitious. Construction is now scheduled to begin in January 2015.

Airport scene of shooter exercise Staff

These have been amalgamated into the Airport Operations Response Centre. The operation also assessed their response to a simulated mass casualty. Four of five phases of the training were held Nov. 24, and a review of the ex-

ercise was done later in the week during the final phase of the exercise. A videotape of Exercise Silver is expected to be shared among police departments and airport security officials across Canada to serve as a learning tool.

Arriving at and departing from the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport was a little more exciting than usual for travellers last week. Pretending an active shooter was on the loose at the airport, upwards of 275 emergency responders, airline personnel, retail employees and volunteers put their skills to work in Exercise Silver. The training scenario on Nov. 24 was considered a success by everyone who took part, according to airport officials. Seven months of planning went into the operation, which brought together Airport Authority staff, Ottawa police, fire crews and paramedics, commissionaires, RCMP, U.S. Customs and Border Protection workers, the Canada Border Services Agency, Transport Canada and the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority. “With so many first responders involved, I believe the airport, and indeed all of the city, will

be better prepared should such a terrible situation recur in Ottawa,” Mark Laroche, president and chief executive officer of the Ottawa International Airport Authority, said in a statement. “We will now reflect on the lessons learned as a team and adjust our plans accordingly.” The goal of the exercise was to test the airport’s response and how it works with external agencies during a security emergency. Transport Canada requires class one Canadian airports to conduct security exercises every two years. The Ottawa International Airport Authority has been hosting activeshooter training sessions since 2011 “as a means of introducing awareness of the risk as well as providing personal safety options to employees,” Krista Kealey, airport authority spokeswoman, said in a statement. In addition to testing the authority’s ability to work with outside agencies during an emergency, it also put its airport operations and security operations organizations to the test.

A Sensitive & Engaging Approach to Those Needing Memory Care in Orléans or Kanata Symphony Senior Living, a company renowned for its leading-edge memory care program, is offering a unique approach to caring for seniors with Alzheimer’s or dementia. The signature Moments® program is now available at Moments Manor Orléans and Symphony Senior Living Kanata. Those with memory loss are often most comfortable in the “here and now”, so the staff at Symphony Senior Living helps residents and their families live fully in the present and treasure each “moment”. This approach minimizes confusion, agitation and frustration, hence the name “Moments” for this program. At Symphony, staff take a highly personalized approach to each resident’s care and support. Each individual brings a unique set of experiences, abilities, preferences and needs. Lisa Brush, founder of Symphony Senior Living says “It’s important to gain a deep understanding of every resident’s background, so the focus is on what they can do, rather than what they cannot”. The approach to wellness is proactive at Symphony residences offering Moments. Each resident receives a comprehensive assessment before joining the program. The wellness team customizes a care plan based upon a detailed health history which allows them to work closely with each resident. This enables staff to quickly identify even small changes in behavior or routine that may signal the need for an adjustment to their wellness strategy. This keeps residents stronger longer and crises at bay. Cutting-edge research indicates that proper nutrition, medication, physical and brain exercise, and routine health monitoring can dramatically influence residents’ daily abilities, quality of life and health. Some of the steps taken at Moments to slow down the effects of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias include: t 4QFDJBMJ[FE EJFUT FOSJDIFE XJUI PNFHB and vitamins t )ZESBUJPO QSPHSBNT t $PHOJUJWF FYFSDJTF SFHJNFOT t 1IZTJDBM TUSFOHUI USBJOJOH BOE FYFSDJTF

t .VTJD BSPNB BOE NBTTBHF UIFSBQZ t 1IZTJDBM TQFFDI BOE PDDVQBUJPOBM UIFSBQZ t 'BMM QSFWFOUJPO USBJOJOH The Moments team encourages families and friends to be part of the circle of care. There are events and activities that welcome family members as participants and education is provided about Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. This knowledge can help the whole family not only understand disease symptoms and progression, but also learn how to cope with the impact on their own lives.

Parade magic

Moments Manor Orléans, previously St. Joseph Villa until taken over by Symphony one year ago, is currently undergoing a complete building rejuvenation. The existing chapel is being restored to its former beauty and will become the centre point of the project. Each floor will have a separate comfortable and spacious living area including a resident kitchen & dining room, living room and lounge areas, resident and family laundry areas, a spa tub and accessible shower rooms. The new environment will be smaller and very homelike. This helps improve morale and increase comfort levels, so residents feel calmer and at ease. In addition, features like a hair salon, private dining room and secured outdoor areas with wandering paths and gardens are being added.

Erin McCracken/Metroland

Despite the chill in the air, more than 120,000 people were expected to line the parade route in Orléans as 75 parade entries entertained and delighted people of all ages during the 17th-annual Santa’s Parade of Lights on Nov. 29. The event featured dancers, marching bands, numerous floats, firefighters and Santa Claus. Food items, toys and monetary donations were collected during the festive celebration of light that was organized by the Ottawa Professional Firefighters Association. Letters to Santa Claus were also collected by postal workers.

Ingredients

• 125 ml (1/2 cup) diced apple • 450 g (1 wheel) double cream Brie cheese Preparation

Cut the onions in half through the root end, and then into eight-millimetre (1/3-inch) thick slices. In a large skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Add the onions, separating them as they are added. Sprinkle them with sugar and salt, and cook, stirring often, for 20 minutes, reducing the heat if they’re starting to brown. Meanwhile, combine the cranberries and sherry in a small microwaveable bowl. Microwave on high for one minute, stir, cover and set

aside. Add apple to onions, cook, stirring often, until apple is tender and onions are golden, about 25 minutes. Stir in the cranberries and any remaining sherry that hasn’t been absorbed. (Can be covered and refrigerated for up to four days.) Place the Brie on a shallow ovenproof serving dish. Spoon the onion mixture onto the Brie and spread almost to the edge. Loosely tent with foil and bake in a 180 C (350 F) oven until the Brie sides feel warm to the touch – about 20 minutes. Serve immediately. Foodland Ontario

IN MEMORIAM TIMMINS In loving memory of a dear husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather Lloyd John who passed away December 7, 2013. They say time heals all sorrow, And helps us to forget, But time so far has only proved, How much we miss him yet. We don’t forget the way he smiled, The words he used to say, The many things he did for us, in his own loving ways. For all his loving kindness, He asked nothing in return, We never had a greater gift, Than the years we had with you. Our memories keep you near to us, Still you will never know the heartache, When we see your vacant chair.

Last year’s winner, Mélanie Bourdon, attended the official launch. The Casino du Lac-Leamy chef said her favourite part about competing was working with the college and the students. “It was a great experience,” Bourdon said. “I learned a lot about Spain’s culture and I loved working with the students.” The college plays a large role in the event as two students get the opportunity to work with one of the eight participating chefs. The other students enrolled in the culinary programs help cook the meal for the main event. The college’s co-ordinator of the culinary program, Wayne Murphy, said the event is anoth-
