Inside Businesses exempt NEWS from height limits

Arnprior Chronicle-Guide City to draw up plans to allow more than four storeys in west-end employment areas

Business group celebrates first year in operation.

– Page 5

NEWS

Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Saying the needs of businesses are more important than the city’s needs, Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson was successful in getting the city to reconsider buildingheight limits in the tech park.

The height-restriction policy for business parks that aren’t near rapid transit was adopted as part of a five-year update to the city’s Official Plan, which council approved on Nov. 26.

The tech park and also the Kanata South Business Park were exempted from those policies, which would have re-

stricted businesses to building only four storeys. The policy is intended to allow taller, denser buildings to be constructed near rapid transit lines like the bus Transitway and the future lightrail line.

Major office developments would only be allowed in business parks if they were built within 800 metres of an existing or planned rapid transit station or within 400 metres of a transit priority corridor.

Those rules still apply to all other business parks outside Kanata since council approved the new Official Plan on Nov. 26.

The exemption hinges on council adopting of secondary plan and zoning amendments for those two business parks before 2015. The public will be consulted during the development of the secondary plans.

Wilkinson worried that new policies in the city’s updated Official Plan would have stunted development possibilities in the remaining vacant lands in the tech park.

“The park couldn’t have been built today if you had those restrictions,” Wilkinson said.

Nine and three-storey buildings proposed for Teron jessica.cunha

News - The developer who proposed a 15-storey highrise in Beaverbrook has come back with a new pitch for a nine-storey building coupled with a three-storey apartment complex.

Phil Bottriell who owns 1.48 hectares of land at 1131 Teron Rd. first issued a request to the city early last year to rezone the land for a 10- and 15-storey, two-tiered building, as well as six threestorey townhouses. More than 300 residents attended a public meeting in August 2012 to voice their opposition to a highrise in the middle of a low-rise community.

The developer went back to the drawing board, this time creating a multi-storey complex ranging from five to nine floors, which would transition away from Teron Road.

“The development proposal has been revised once again to deal with issues pertaining to the previously proposed ‘high-rise’ nature of one of the two structures,” it states in the submitted plan.

According to the developer’s application, the transition allows for landscaping treatment that “is more in keeping with the physical characteristics of the highrise Atrium condominium site located at the easterly end of Teron Road.”

As well, it states that most units will have terraces or balconies, except for most of those facing the existing

a public meeting, to be held this month.

She said because the land is close to a future transit station on March Road, the city’s policy allows up to nine storeys.

“That was the rational; when you’re that close you can go up to nine storeys,” she said. “I still think it’s too high.”

The public meeting is set ARTIST RENDERING for Dec. 17, from 7 to 9 p.m. An artist illustrates what a new proposal for 1131 Teron Road could look like. The plan at Kanata United Church, 33 includes a nine-storey building coupled with a three-storey apartment complex on 1.48 Leacock Dr. hectares of land.

Resident Mario Poirier said the community needs to look at the precedent an approval to the plan would set for other (613) 225-0982 areas.

townhouses at Bethune Condominium.

On the east side of the proposed nine-storey building, existing vegetation and new planting will “help to increase the transitioning between the existing low rise built form and the proposed midrise building.”

The three-storey apartment would not be significantly taller than the townhouse units so there is “no valid transition issue” between the existing community and the proposed building, states the report.

The nine-storey building would contain around 109 units, down from 173 in the first plan, and the three-storey apartment would hold around 18 to 24 units, according to the proposal. The developer is also looking at the potential of opening the ground floor of the apartment building to non-residential uses.

Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson told attendees at her monthly town hall meeting on Nov. 25 about the new proposal and the plan for

Kanata North BIA reports successful first year jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - The Kanata North Business Improvement Area celebrated a successful first year at its annual general meeting on Nov. 28.

The organization provided input that helped change the city’s recently approved Transportation Master Plan and the Official Plan during its first year of operations.

“Your BIA registered important and impactful input into the recently approved Transportation Master Plan,” said city manager Kent Kirkpatrick, who gave the keynote address during the meeting.

“That input resulted in the extension of the March Road transitway and adding bus rapid transit to the Terry Fox Station; two initiatives that weren’t initially in that master plan.”

A zoning review in Kanata was looking to place restrictions on building heights in employment areas, limiting them to a maximum of four stories unless close to public transit.

The BIA submitted comments stating that the new plan would place severe constraints on any new development in the business park.

BIA to focus on three objectives next year Continued from page 5

“You also provided input in the recently approved Official Plan with respect to building heights in the Kanata North Business Park,” said Kirkpatrick. “Coun.

(Marianne) Wilkinson was successful with having that issue removed from the Official Plan and instead staff have agreed to develop a secondary plan with the business

community.”

The Kanata North Business Park is a hub of communications and technology firms, making the city a competitive choice for international businesses, said Kirkpatrick.

“We know that much of Ottawa’s reputation as one of the world’s greatest communications and technology research areas is founded by and built right here in Kanata north,” he said. “It’s a legacy,

it’s a history, but it’s also a present day fact … That’s why we were so interested in supporting the creation of a BIA here.”

He added that the BIA is important for the future economic prosperity of the city.

“Our economic development team told me they’re encouraged by how quickly there’s a positive relationship and attitude, co-operation and continuous improvement

REPORTS

Over the past year, the BIA hired executive director Jenna Sudds to oversee the operations, opened a permanent office at 555 Legget Dr., and launched its brand and website.

The BIA will focus on three objectives over the coming year: to build a stronger BIA; to promote and guide business and economic development; and to liaise with the city on issues of concern to its member businesses, Sudds said.

Plans include establishing a recurring networking event, enhancing the content and relevance of the BIA’s website, developing ongoing communication tools and “improving the sense of community by creating events that bring us all together,” said Sudds.

Get your South March Highlands calendars and greeting cards To the editor:

Back by popular demand, savvy holiday shoppers can give their friends and family the gift of one of Ottawa’s most breathtaking natural environments, with a beautiful South March Highlands and Carp Hills Calendar for just $20, including HST. Any groups who want to sell calendars as a joint fundraiser can also earn $5 for every calendar sold.

All proceeds go towards protecting Ottawa’s irreplaceable old growth urban forest and wetland complex, as well as the 800 species that live within the high-

lands—including bear, lynx, fox, wolf, deer, coyotes, bald-headed eagles, owls, great blue herons and many at-risk plants and animals.

The South March Highlands have extensive trails that can be enjoyed year round, for hiking, skiing, biking and bird-watching, and is nationally renowned as a mountainbiking tourist destination.

Together with the Carp River flood plain, the Highlands has long been recognized as Ottawa’s most bio-diverse and environmentally valuable land, with old-growth forest, lakes and wetlands.

Of the 51 species at risk in Canada, 20 are found here.

Studies have shown the area to also be one of the most important in Ontario in terms of its ecological features. A recent, independent report to the National Capital Commission strongly urged that the South March Highlands be protected from development, and the Coalition to Protect the South March Highlands is working hard towards preserving the area.

Thanks in part to annual calendar buyers, progress is being made. For example, the coalition helped develop an agreement, signed by the city, to consider the importance of eco-corridors in future planning. The coalition is also developing a proposal for the lands to be protected and preserved as a natural park or land trust.

The 2014 calendar is packed with all-new, fullcolour photographs of the Highlands and Carp Hills, all taken by local photographers.

Lots of descriptive captions identify each plant and animal, providing a fun and educational experience for all ages. Once again, the 11-inch by 14-inch calendar is formatted so each photograph can be saved and framed as an attractive print, to be enjoyed long after 2014 is gone.

“Anyone who’s been to the South March Highlands knows what an incredible treasure we have right here in our Nation’s Capital,” said Deanna Wright, who worked

to put the calendar together.

“It’s truly an everlasting gift—by purchasing a calendar to help protect the area and support educational and awareness programs, you’re providing a gift for generations to come.”

To order your 2014 South March Highlands and Carp Hills Calendars or greeting cards, simply call 613-9630415; e-mail savethesmh@ gmail.com; or order at southmarchhighlands.ca, which also includes a list of Kanata businesses carrying the calendars. If you would like to contribute photos for consideration for next year’s calendar, please send an email to d_wright@ automatedlearning.com.

Improvements to ParaTranspo needed To the editor,

The ParaTranspo system was originally developed to

meet the needs of a completely urban population and extending it to meet the needs of a growing population of seniors living in the vast rural area has proven to be difficult.

If Ottawa is to become an age friendly city, however, every senior living within its borders must have a reliable and affordable means of transportation to medical appointments and other essential services.

For this reason the city’s transit commission was asked to consider three recommendations from the rural sub-committee of the Ottawa seniors transportation committee to consider while preparing the transit budget.

1. First, we ask that you keep the rural ParaTranspo fare for 2014 at the current rate of $8.45. Last year it increased by 20 cents and it is projected to increase in July to $8.60. For seniors with a number of medical appointments each month this is not affordable. The gap in the cost of Para Transpo for urban and rural seniors is

growing.

2. We ask you to have staff apply the equity and inclusion lens to the current allocation of rural ParaTranspo provider arrangements in a forum open to community agencies and providers.

Where is the equity when one senior living on the south side of a road in rural Kanata can travel by ParaTranspo all the way to Orélans and back for $4 or less with a Presto card, but their neighbour across the road must pay more than four times that much to go to her doctor right in Kanata?

3. Thirdly, we recommend that staff be asked to develop an annual performance report for ParaTranspo to be presented at a transit commission meeting as a way of keeping yourselves, ParaTranspo clients, service providers and the community informed.

Be prepared for party season

P

ass by the OPP station in Kanata and you’ll see dozens of white crosses on the lawn. It’s a stark reminder that drinking and driving kills.

Everyone should be prepared for the holiday season and the possibility that they may enjoy a drink or two more than usual.

Anyone can head out to a gathering with the best of intentions. Then it’s all too easy to set aside common sense after a few drinks.

Rather than trying to guess about your bloodalcohol level, have a plan to get you and your loved ones home safely and be prepared to put it into action.

If you expect to drink, arrive by cab or bus so there’s no decision to make later. Make good friends with someone who never drinks or rotate the job of designated driver amongst the season’s partygoers.

If you’re hosting a party, have an extra bed, an air mattress or a couch ready for an overnight guest, and let everyone know they’re welcome to stay for breakfast. Alternately, a good host can stay sober and give everyone else a ride home.

For those people who fail to make a plan and find themselves far from home with a parked

car, Operation Red Nose and the organization’s volunteers can get you and your car home. Call 613-820-6673 for a ride or visit rednoseottawa. com to help out.

Even some tow truck companies have stepped up to offer a ride home and a tow for your car so your auto is in the driveway when you wake up.

It’s not cheap, but it’s far less expensive than the cost of tickets, lawyers, insurance increases and a criminal record, jail time – or worse yet – the knowledge that you have killed someone. ’Tis also the season to remind your children that you’re willing to pick them up from a party if they or their driver is impaired. You can never say it often enough.

Lastly, we can look forward to light rail being built here in Ottawa. The system will be far more comfortable than riding a bus and waiting in the stations will be more comfortable especially in the winter season. If the system runs 24/7, it will be even easier to go to a party and come home merry.

So travel safely this holiday season. If you choose to drink, please don’t drive.

If someone you know chooses to drink, help them make the right decision. I could just save a life.

Ottawa’s strange driving patterns

I

was driving down Carling Avenue a few days ago when the car in front of me stopped at a green light. “Hmmm,� I thought, or words not exactly like that, as I slammed on the brakes.

Then we sat there, corner of Carling and Preston, watching the snow fall, until the light changed to red and, eventually, back to green.

For some reason, I didn’t honk or scream.

Perhaps I was tired. But I did wonder what exactly might have been going through his mind.

This is assuming he wasn’t texting – always a possibility in our technologically crazed world. If you were in the middle of a good text, you might need to stop at a green light so as to concentrate better on what you were typing. Ask any police officer: stranger things have happened.

Probably he wasn’t texting. I couldn’t see what he was doing, or even if it was a he. I’ll call him he, for the sake of simplicity.

I concluded that he must simply have been confused. There is much to confuse drivers these days, and even more with a bunch of snow on the ground.

My favourite example of confusion-causing technology is the half-stoplight. You see a few of them around town. There’s a promi-

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town nent one at Island Park and Iona, another along Byron in Westboro. The people driving east-west, say, see a light, which is red or green. The people driving north-south just see a stop sign, no light. There is probably a philosophy behind this, or maybe it’s just to save on the cost of one stoplight. Whatever the aim is, people don’t understand it.

One day I was driving east-west and stopped at the red light. But the people going north-south just sat there. Why? Probably because they didn’t know the rest of us were stopped at a light. They thought it was a fourway stop, or something. So, for the longest time, nobody moved.

More commonly, at the same intersection, the north-south people just go anyway even if the green light is against them. In effect,

they’re running a red light, even though there isn’t one. Presumably they don’t know there’s a green light against them and they’re treating it like a four-way stop – especially since there are so many four-way stops in town already.

With a four-way stop or a real traffic light, people at least understand what is going on.

With this Canadian compromise somebody is going to get hurt.

There’s also confusion over snow tires, which are absolutely necessary but not mandatory in this jurisdiction. Kelly Egan had a good column on that in the Citizen the other day. You can forgive someone for thinking that all-weather tires are supposed to mean all-weather, particularly since no one in authority is saying you can’t use them in the winter.

But they do make it harder to stop and maybe that’s what the guy at Carling and Preston was thinking, assuming he wasn’t texting. He’s watching the numbers count down on the walk/don’t-walk sign and he’s thinking: “It’s going to turn yellow pretty soon and maybe I should stop now, on the green, just to be on the safe side, especially since it’s snowing and I haven’t got snow tires.�

Maybe that’s what it was. And by the way, if the countdown timer on the crosswalk sign is getting to him, he’s not alone.

If you search the Internet for information on the effect of countdown timers, you can find articles that say they reduce accidents and articles saying they increase accidents.

Some say they prevent pedestrians from entering intersections when it’s not safe to do so.

Others say they make motorists speed up to beat the light.

So much to think about, so little time.

Maybe it’s best just to stop.

The failure of feminism; destruction of the family

W

omen are working.

That’s good.

I have women friends who are paying the balance of child support to their husbands. That’s also good, well, sort of.

What’s not good is what most young families in Canada know – the family unit is falling apart.

Feminism has failed and not because women have failed, per se.

If we consider the decline of the family unit into the 21st century, we’ve all failed to adapt in a feminist world.

Nobody seems to know what the family unit is supposed to look like when both men and women are increasingly career-focused.

But here we are – two parents working, cost-of-living rising, having fewer (yet more expensive) children, and we’re all feeling the pinch. If my network of

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse friends is any indication, more and more couples seem to be co-habiting in sexless, Groundhog-Daytype, child-centric marriages, running up credit to make ends meet (despite dual incomes), and in many cases throwing in the towel on the whole notion of maintaining the traditional nuclear family.

As one of my recently divorced friends quipped the other day, “I can handle the challenge of dating in my mid-thirties, but I could never go back to the boredom of domestic co-habitation.”

It’s kind of sad, really.

On the one hand, as a career woman, I’m a huge advocate for people going out there to get what they want, including me.

On the other, family is really important to me and I see the stress on the kids and the household harmony, especially when my husband and I are simultaneously engaged in a deadline-crunch at work.

The thing is raising a family takes time. This is why it was traditionally the full-time job of one spouse – typically the woman.

It takes time to manage groceries, homework and extra-curricular activi-

ties. It takes time to nurse sick children, take them to appointments and do all the day-to-day nurturing (when they’re tired, sad or stressed).

And if you don’t have a point person at home, well, the laundry is piling up (forever), the meals are expensive and often nutrient deficient, and the kids – despite the child-centric nature of modern times – are actually not faring as well as they could be.

This adds a lot of stress and creates spousal disharmony, especially when the marriage is also sidelined by career ambitions.

After all, who the hell’s got time to book a date with her spouse if she’s got all that laundry to fold after work?

The upside of feminism in practice is that it has allowed women to harness power and money in the public sphere. Integral to

feminism’s failure, however, is that we continue to undervalue the historical contributions of women and women’s work to our civilization.

As people become busier, they outsource traditional women’s work – childcare, housecleaning and cooking – to other women.

But because we don’t value this work, we pay the women surrogates low wages. As a result, the vast majority of women continue to be marginalized across the globe.

And those who aren’t marginalized are more often choosing divorce and family break-up over the struggle of trying to keep it all together, thereby marginalizing the family unit.

The late Nora Ephron was married three times. She had a lot of good things to say about divorce. But she also had this to say in her famous 2010 essay called “The D R0162274634

Word”: “I can’t think of anything good about divorce as far as the children are concerned.

You can’t kid yourself about that, although many people do. They say things like, ‘It’s better for children not to grow up with their parents in an unhappy marriage...’ Children are much too young to shuttle between houses. They’re too young to handle the idea that the two people they love most in the world don’t love each other anymore... And the newfangled rigmarole of joint custody doesn’t do anything to ease the cold reality: in order to see one parent, the divorced child must walk out on the other.”

There’s a lot of regret in her words; regret I hope I never have to experience.

But until we can figure out how to make feminism work for the family, Ephron’s words will ring true for more and more women.

How much rum & eggnog is too much?

A

s the year end approaches, the festive season begins! This is also a time of year when we’re reminded not to drink and drive or to overindulge.

Perhaps you already set your own limits to avoid feeling exhausted or hungover the next day, or to make sure all your memories of the office party are positive and free of regret. Do you ever have any concerns about setting those limits and sticking to them?

Whether your favourite holiday drink is rum and eggnog or mulled wine – it’s recommended you drink no more than 3 drinks (for women) or 4 drinks (for men) on any single occasion.

This is one of the recommendations found in the new Low Risk Alcohol Drinking Guidelines. They are designed to help you reduce your risk of illness or injury.

You also need to know that not all drinks are equal. People tend to underestimate how much they are drinking because they don’t really know what constitutes one serving.

In order to know how much is too much, it’s helpful to make proper comparisons.

Does a beer have the same amount of alcohol as a glass of wine? That depends.

A standard drink is a unit that allows you to compare your beverages. The size of a standard drink depends on the percentage of alcohol in the beverage, but in general it is defined as:  341ml (12 oz.) of beer, cider or cooler, with 5% alcohol content(about a cup and a half) or  142ml (5 oz.) of wine, with 12% alcohol content  43 ml (1.5 oz.) of spirits, like rum or vodka, with 40% alcohol content There is quite a difference in the size of a standard drink depending on the type of beverage you are actually drinking. Using the guidelines can help you rethink how much is too much, for you.

If you would like more information on standard drink size and setting limits, you can call the Ottawa Public Health Information Line at 613-580-6744 or visit ottawa.ca/ CheckYourDrinking You can also pick up a copy of Canada’s Low Risk Alcohol Drinking Guidelines at any LCBO retail outlet.

Fenced dog run considered for north Kanata Wider driveways, new committee discussed at town hall Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - The city is looking for feedback from residents on where they think a fenced dog run could be created in north Kanata.

Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said the Nepean-Kanata Rotary Club came to her to discuss the possibility of getting a fenced dog run in her ward.

She brought up the idea

during her monthly town hall meeting, held on Nov. 25.

Comments are needed from residents on where they think it could be located, as well as any concerns, she said.

A fenced dog run shouldn’t be close to houses, it would need parking spaces and could come from a portion of an existing park. It would offer an alternative to letting pooches off-leash in designated parks, where there are no boundaries, she said. Although off-

COUN. MARIANNE WILKINSON leash animals are supposed to be under owner-control, not every dog is. “A fenced dog run would keep them confined to an area ‌ not jumping on people,â€? said Wilkinson.

She added that there are owners who let their dogs run in areas where they aren’t allowed. “This would give them a place to run. This would have fencing.�

There are three fenced dog runs in the city: • Jack Purcell Park: 320 Jack Purcell Ln. Old Ottawa • Sylvia Holden Park: 641 O’Connor St. Old Ottawa • Evergreen Park: 906 Denison Cres., Old Ottawa Resident Mario Poirier said there is a minority of dog owners that have gotten in the habit of suspending their

bagged dog waste from tree branches.

He and his wife spent a day cleaning up the lot on Goulbourn Forced Road where 50 bags had been suspended from trees. “That’s a crass act of uncivilized behaviour,� he said. “We have to get a handle on that problem.�

Another resident said she would be all for a fenced dog run as long as it’s big enough for the pooches to really let loose. She said she wouldn’t support it if it was a tiny area.

Comments on a fenced dog run can be submitted by email at marianne.wilkinson@ottawa.ca or by phone at 613580-2474.

A resident at the meeting said a pedestrian crosswalk is needed at the corner of Kanata Avenue at Robson Court. “There are a lot of old people in the area, of which I’m one, and the traffic along Kanata Avenue is very, very heavy now,� he said. “It’s one of the few corners on Kanata Avenue that doesn’t have a stop sign.�

He said he wouldn’t mind seeing paint markings outlining a crossing area to make drivers aware that people do cross the street at that location. “The problem in Ontario is that cars don’t have to stop at crosswalks,� said Wilkinson, adding she would ask the city’s traffic staff about a solution.

TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE

PARKING WOES

Wilkinson said she’s looking to create a sustainable transportation committee for north Kanata.

The committee would look at all things like roads, cycling lanes, sidewalks and crosswalks in the community and provide input, research and policy ideas on transportation. “It makes a lot of sense to have the community doing it,� said Wilkinson, adding she’d like to see eight to 10 people step forward.

Wilkinson said the city is looking at the possibility of allowing residents to widen their driveways. Parking has become an issue in suburban neighbourhoods where density is high and parking is scarce.

The city’s current rules limit the width of driveways to in front of the garage only - not the main home - and the laneway can’t take up more than half of the lot.

Density required by the city in new developments

has increased to 34 units per net hectare, up from about 20 units 10 years ago, she said. “Because of the higher densities needed, this will continue happening – too many cars and not enough parking,� she said.

With smaller house lots come smaller garages and driveways, leaving people to park on the streets. The city has a three-hour street parking limit. And with winter weather, overnight parking bans come into effect when a snowfall of seven centimetres or more is predicted. “It’s very difficult, where do you put your car? It’s a very serious problem,� said Wilkinson. “We’re still caroriented because we don’t have great transit.�

Residents can learn more about the proposed changes and sign up for winter parking ban alerts at ottawa.ca.

Wilkinson said there have also been several overnight thefts from vehicles in the South March and Morgan’s Grant area and reminded residents to lock their doors. “It can happen in your driveway too,� she said.

The next Kanata North Town Hall meeting will be held Jan. 21, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the new Richcraft Recreation Complex, 4101 Innovation Dr.

More clothes and equipment in boats make it all that much more important to remember to have a lifejacket that will fit over heavy clothing or better yet, wear a floater jacket or survival suit.

Always tell someone where you will be going and when you are expected to be home.

If you are going to be out

before sunrise or after sunset make sure you have proper navigation lights as required by the Canada Shipping Act. Remember: every one requires proof of competency on board all motorized boats.

Off-road & all-terrain vehicles safe riding rules to remember: 1. Always wear an approved helmet. Fluorescent orange helmets are available for hunters.

2. Never operate an A.T.V. when consuming alcohol.

3. Always read the instruction manual and follow manufacturer’s recommendations, i.e. Obey warning labels and stickers on the A.T.V. 4. A.T.V.’s are permitted

on the shoulders of some approved roads; however, operators must possess a minimum G2M2 drivers licence and obey all the rules of the road and the Off Road Vehicles Act. Check with the local municipal office or police to ensure what roads are approved.

5. Make sure you’re Off Road Vehicle is registered, plated and insured and you carry all the documents (drivers licence and insurance must be originals).

6. If operating on an approved roadway the speed limit for ATV’s is 50 kph where the speed for cars is over 50 kph and 20 kph for ATV’s where the speed for cars is 50 kph or less.

7. A.T.V.s are motor vehicles and guns must be unloaded at all times when on them.

8. Passengers are not allowed on ATVs when operated on roads.

Licence suspension for operators of boats and off-road

vehicles.

The administrative driver’s licence suspension for registering a warn on an approved screening device not only applies to motor vehicles, but all vessels and off-road vehicles as well.

The penalties for registering a “warn” are: • First time: three-day drivers licence suspension • Second time: seven-day

drivers licence suspension and required to take remedial alcohol treatment program.

• Third time: 30-day drivers licence suspension, required to take remedial alcohol treatment program and have ignition interlock device attached to your vehicle for six months.

Mayor’s Report

A Time for GivinG

By Jim Watson The days have gotten shorter and the weather colder and that means the holiday season is right around the corner.

This, like every year, we are fortunate to call Ottawa home and there is much to be thankful for. But while many will celebrate the holidays with lavish meals and presents, others are at risk of going without a warm meal, let alone a gift.

Ottawa’s residents always give generously to those in need and I encourage you to keep doing so during the holiday season.

We’d love to work with the community and make this happen for any seniors in the community who don’t have any family.

“Come on by, have a cup of coffee and grab a tag.”

The residents and staff are excited about participating in the program, said McConnell, adding it’s the first time The Royale has taken part.

“The residents are really looking forward to it,” she said. “We have about 20 tags right now. We’re hoping to run out (of tags) and get more.”

“We added three new trees last year and another three this year, so the project is truly city wide now,” said Sullivan. “It’s very interesting to see the number of office groups who have taken on this project as their Christmas charity. Many have participated themselves in prior years and have told their colleagues about it. They call to request that I send a certain number of tags, rather than having them visit a tree.

“There are also many families who have involved their children which is great. It’s becoming a tradition for some individuals and families,” she said. “We also have Christmas cards from children at W. Erskine Johnson Public School , which are absolutely delightful.”

People are invited to choose an ornament from one of the Christmas trees with a senior’s name and a gift idea, and then leave the unwrapped gift with the tag attached under the tree.

Students from Kars Public School helped wrap the 600 gifts collected in 2010 for the Be a Santa to a Senior program run by the Home Instead Senior Care organization. The program provides gifts and companionship to isolated seniors throughout the city.

$25,000 in Prizes

Santa to a Senior runs to Dec. 15 Continued from page 16

The program will run until Dec. 15 with a gift wrapping party on Dec. 16, from 2 to 4 p.m. at Dymon Self Storage in Kanata, which is also providing the space to store the presents.

Last year, the Be a Santa to a Senior program provided 650 gifts to isolated seniors throughout Ottawa, said Sullivan, adding they are expecting around the same number this year. The program isn’t necessarily for financially needy seniors, but for those

who have no one to share Christmas with.

“Christmas is a time when we tend to focus on children and family. There are so many seniors who have no family to share the holiday with and they can feel forgotten,” she said.

“As an example, 200 of the gifts are going to Meals on Wheels and they will be delivered on Christmas Day with Christmas dinner. As you can imagine, those who will have a Meals on Wheels Christmas dinner are truly alone on that day so the gift

Home Instead Senior Care partners with local charities, agencies and community resource centres to identify isolated seniors who are in need of some holiday happiness.

The organization will deliver the wrapped gifts to the agencies, which will then give the presents to the clients.

Construction flexibility key to attracting business: Wilkinson Continued from page 1

The policies would have placed “significant restrictions” on undeveloped employment lands in the tech park as most of the vacant properties are more than 800 M from rapid transit, Kanata North Business Improvement Area executive director Jenna Sudds told the planning committee on Nov. 8.

“These new policies send a message that Ottawa is closed to creativity,” she said.

The undeveloped lands aren’t located near residences so there is no argument for restricting building heights there, Sudds said.

FLEXIBILITY

Construction flexibility is one of the key ingredients needed to attract businesses to Ottawa, Wilkinson said.

“It needs to be clear, but flexible for the needs of businesses,” she said.

File

When they build, companies often want to get a building up in six months, says Coun. Marianne Wilkinson.

Those needs are sometimes different than the city’s overall goals, she said. Once a large corporation decides it wants to locate in Ottawa, “bigwigs” often want to get a building up in six months, which doesn’t leave time to make arguments for rezoning the land. With that kind of restrictive environment and red tape, companies would find it easier to look elsewhere, Wilkinson said. “(City transportation planners) want everyone to take transit,” Wilkinson said. “To them, getting everyone to take transit is the most important

thing.”

But for the councillor, job creation is more important.

“We want to have jobs in the community.”

Changes to the new policy were a last-minute addition to council’s approval of the Official Plan because the councillor didn’t anticipate new development restrictions. The transit-oriented policies were discovered by a consultant hired by the Kanata North BIA to comb through the plans.

“It’s not something I expected,” Wilkinson said.

“That’s a big difference.”

Centrepointe Theatres Promises Patrons New Experiences This Anniversary Season Eyes wide with wonder. A grin erupts into a belly laugh. Joy, excitement and appreciation transform into a standing ovation—a concert of applause that can be felt from head down to toe. The team at Centrepointe Theatres have been making magical moments like this happen for 25 years and patrons of the west-end theatre can expect more unforgettable experiences this anniversary season.

“We took a hard look at our numbers and listened to our patrons and we decided it was time to make some changes to our in-house programming, Centrepointe Theatres Presents, says Allan Sansom, Centrepointe Theatres’ Artistic Producer and Manager. “ We have put a real focus on ‘the family’ and we are bringing more comedy, more music and more variety to our stages than ever before.”

Television sensations, the Wild Kratts kicked off the family se-

ries this fall. The shows were so popular Sansom is promising to bring them back again next season, but there is also a lot

of high quality children’s entertainment left on this season’s roster. Canadian icon Fred Penner is on the 954-seat main stage this spring and there are shows based on famous children’s books and cartoon characters including: The Snail and the Whale, Pinkalicious and Scooby-Doo! Live Musical Mysteries.

This year, Centrepointe Theatres give patrons the opportunity to participate in pre-and

post-performance activities at many shows. For instance, children attending Pickalicious will have the opportunity to ‘pinkafy’ themselves at a post-performance tea party and ticket holders who purchased an ‘On Stage Pass’ for the anniversary gala starring Rick Mercer this past May got a chance to rub elbows with the CBC personality at a cocktail reception and book signing after the show.

ing Ottawa’s own Crush Improv.

There is a classical music series that comes with tea and treats, a Game & Groove event for kids that features giant board games and a DJ and kick IT – a dance club for kids ages four to ten.

“The first dance club was a real hit and it didn’t take long for parents to start asking for more,” says Sansom. “We had another one booked in April and due to

“Centrepointe is such an intimate venue. It’s one of our best features,” says Barbara Brunzell, Centrepointe Theatres’ Marketing and Development Specialist. “The pre-and postshow events only serve to enhance the experience.”

Kids of all ages, and adults too, can enjoy the many interactive events being hosted in the Centrepointe Studio Theatre; a 199-seat, state-of-the-art, black box space that was added to the venue in 2010. There are monthly improv shows featur-

popular demand we have added a third event on January 25 as well.”

Other featured shows in the 2013/2014 Centrepointe Theatres Presents include Mac

King, an illusionist who produces goldfish out of thin air; Black Violin, a musical group that fuses classical with hip hop; and big comic talent such as Jim Belushi, The Debaters, Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood from Whose Line is it Anyway? fame. CBC Dragon’s Den star and entrepreneur Arlene Dickinson makes an appearance in April and local music group The Cooper Brothers celebrate a milestone of their own in March.

More than 100 events and 200 performances are held annually at Centrepointe Theatres and more than two million patrons have walked through the doors since it opened in 1988.

Names such as Russell Peters, Kids in the Hall, Jeff Healey, Stuart Maclean, Rich Little and the Moscow Philharmonic have appeared at the Ottawa venue over the years. It’s always been a place where talent from around the corner and

around the globe can shine.

But Centrepointe staff say they are just getting started.

Whether people are looking to interact with artists or just come and enjoy a show, Centrepointe is making sure Ottawans will be able to have extraordinary experiences that they are sure to remember for years to come.

The global experience of looking at more modern buildings for their historical value is much broader, said Gary Sealey, president of the Beaverbrook Community Association.

“While Ottawa’s experience is growing to recognize the character of these distinct communities, there are other experiences over North America and around the world upon which we can draw,” Sealey said.

Beaverbrook is one of the Kanata communities originally envisioned by developer and planner Bill Teron, who has been called the “father of Kanata.” Teron was awarded the Jane Jacobs Lifetime Achievement Award this year and is also a recipient of the Order of Canada.

The idea is not to freeze or restrict development potential in the neighbourhood, Sealey said.

“We want to guide evolution of Beaverbrook based on its established character,” he said. “The idea is not to fossilize the community but to be true to its valued principles.”

The push for a Beaverbrook heritage district study was backed by a petition signed by 400 residents, Sealey said.

Barry J. Hobin & Associates

A push to study the community of Beaverbrook for a possible heritage designation follows pressure to intensify development in the area, such as the contentious proposal to construct this condo building at 2 The Parkway.

The study is expected to cost $200,000 to complete, at which point consultants and city staff would make a recommendation on whether the city should seek heritage district designation for the area.

Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Peter

Clark, who sits on the city’s built heritage subcommittee, dissented on the motion approving the study because he said he had been told it could be completed for $40,000 – much cheaper than the $200,000 the city is anticipating paying.

Stemming the tide of bullying Lisa Weintraub

Community - Incidents of bullying continue to make headlines.

Canada has the ninth highest rate of bullying among 13year-olds out of 35 countries and suicide of teenage girls has reached epidemic proportions. There are many calls to stem the tide and foster schools and communities that are safe, equitable and inclusive. The question is, how do we do it?

Bullying is about power – power over others, loss of personal power, power imbalances, and the abuse of power.

Providing information, skills,

and adult support are key ways to redress power imbalances at the heart of bullying and all forms of aggression.

When young people feel knowledgeable, equipped, confident, and supported, they don’t feel the need to impose their will on others. They feel courageous enough to stand up for themselves, and for others. The simple act of helping them identify and strengthen their own and others’ abilities fosters healthy and equal relationships.

Recently, Le Centre ontarien de prévention des agressions (COPA) launched new, innovative multimedia resources for students, teach-

ers and parents with the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario. The resources take a unique approach to preventing bullying and discrimination based on a human rights perspective.

In one of COPA’s documentaries on bullying, a student recounts how she told a tormented classmate how lovely she really is. The classmate replied that this was the most wonderful thing she had ever heard.

Another student tells how he stumbled on two others mocking a student with learning disabilities and said, “Hey that’s not cool.” They stopped and walked away.

These are simple yet effective ways for young people to change the dial on bullying – those who bully others, are bullied, and those who witness it. Consider too that many children who bully others are themselves bullied and at higher risk for suicide.

Both parents and educators have a key role to play. Modelling appropriate behaviour, and ensuring that our daily interactions with youth foster acceptance and respect for themselves and others is an important part of that work.

Healthy schools are places where students can express their concerns, and feel safe and supported by their peers and the adults around them.

These are places to learn vocabulary and have discussions about racism, or why phrases

such as “That’s so gay” are hurtful, or how females are devalued when they are subjected to sexist language and sexual harassment.

Fortunately, Ontario has institutions, laws and educational policies working to foster a culture of human rights.

Under our Human Rights Code, everyone has the right to be free from discrimination and harassment on the basis of race, colour, ethnic origin, sex, disability, sexual orientation, gender expression and gender identity, and other grounds.

Laws including the Safe Schools Act and the Accepting Schools Act promote standards of respect and dignity in schools. The government’s equity and inclusive education strategy sets out what is taught in schools to ensure students,

teachers and staff learn and work in an environment that is respectful, supportive and welcoming to all.

Speaking at the launch of COPA’s latest resources, Barbara Hall, Chief Commissioner of the Ontario Human Rights Commission, said that we have a shared responsibility to help young people realize that they can change the world through their actions.

For all of us, a good place to start is to realize that we all belong – and that we all play a key role in changing the world.

Lisa Weintraub is executive director of COPA, a nonprofit bilingual organization working to create schools that are safe, strong and free. For more information see www. infocopa.com.

Serenity Albert poses with her bake shop, where she sold cookies, the funds of which were donated to the Canadian Red Cross for victims of Typhoon Haiyan, which struck the Philippines earlier this month.

News - Serenity Albert was eating breakfast with her family at a Kanata restaurant one morning when she saw footage of the Philippine typhoon.

The three-year-old Village Green girl doesn’t normally watch television, said her mom Samantha, with the exception of favourite shows such as Dora the Explorer or Toopy and Binou. “She was really paying attention to what was happening,� she said. “She asked us questions: What’s wrong with the baby on the TV? Why do the people look sad? What is happening to their houses?� said her mother. “We explained that there was a big storm in a country called the Philippines, that this storm hurt a lot of people, and many people lost their houses and need help.�

After they got home, Serenity ran up to her room.

Typhoon footage inspires toddler to pitch in Continued from page 26

When Samantha went to check on her, she found her daughter piling her toys and books up in large Rubbermaid bins and asked her mom to send them to the children seen on the television screen.

If they lost their houses, Serenity said, then she would want them to have her toys.

“I teared up and sat down with her and explained that it was so sweet of her to want to share her toys with the kids, but that it (the Philippines) was too far away and we don’t have a way to get it to them, that what they really need is money, to buy food and water and build new houses,” Samantha said.

“I told her that we could give them a bit of money on payday this week.”

After she woke up from her nap, she ran into the kitchen holding both fists full of pennies collected from her piggy bank, exclaiming they could give it to the people.

When told it wouldn’t be enough to help, Serenity asked if she could bake them cookies.

The family came up with a compromise: bake a batch of cookies to sell, and send the money.

“She insisted on using all of the Smarties from her trick-or-treat bag and making Smartie cookies,” said Samantha.

After baking their first batch, Sa-

mantha advertised the cookies on Facebook, inviting people to buy a cookie for the fundraiser, with all proceeds going to the Canadian Red Cross to help typhoon victims.

“Sera set up a little table by the front door and decorated it,” said Samantha. “I made her a little logo – ‘Serenity’s Kindness Kookies’ – and printed it off and cut them out.

She set to work wrapping the cookies in plastic wrap and taping on the logos.”

Friends and family stopped by that day to visit her cookie store and she eagerly stood behind her table in the front waiting for more “customers” They were about to retire for the evening when the doorbell rang. It was Samantha’s day-care kids who brought pockets full of change to purchase cookies, and brought all their Smarties from their own trickor-treat bags to contribute to make more cookies.

They helped Serenity whip up another four batches of cookies.

The next day, the two of them went to her dad’s work, N-Able Technologies, and sold it to his co-workers.

She came home with $200, and now, that total has risen to $2,400 due in part to donations being matched by the federal government and N-Able Technologies.

“They need some money to help the people because there’s a lot of work to do,” she said.

SERVING KANATA NORTH Taking charge

City Councillor, Kanata North

The Carleton Place Jr. A Canadians hosted the Kanata Stallions Sunday, Dec. 1 in CCHL action and earned a 6-2 win. Kanata’s Jason Brochu (10) keeps his eye on the puck and Carleton Place’s Stephen Cooney (14) at bay during first period action

RICHCRAFT RECREATION COMPLEX- KANATA IS OPEN! Walk along the Community Walkway on opening day, December 5th or attend the Open House from 10 am to 2 pm on Saturday December 7th - when you can take a tour of this fantastic new complex. Note the glistening pools that many of you helped to fund to 8 lanes instead of 6 so that swim meets are possible. Then view the children’s play area and nearby woods from the second floor fitness centre balcony.

Time Capsules can now be returned to the complex. Since some are still available, the time capsule vault will not be sealed until spring. So pick yours up at the open house ($20 each), fill it and return it to the centre where it will be placed in the vault. All funds go to the community fundraising for the complex.

1031 TERON ROAD REVISION – PUBLIC MEETING PLANNED The Public Meeting on the Revised Apartment Complex for 1031 Teron Road is on December 17th at Kanata United Church, 33 Leacock Drive, starting at 7 pm. A presentation will be made by the owner, and the public can provide their views on this proposal.

This development will not go to Planning Committee until 2014.

CHANGE MADE TO OFFICIAL PLAN FOR KANATA NORTH BUSINESS PARK The City approved the Official Plan, Infrastructure Plan and Master Transportation Plan last week. For Kanata the first five years of the Transportation Plan will include extension of Campeau Drive to Huntmar, construction of Klondike from March to Sandhill as an urban road with sidewalks (along with a possible temporary pedestrian way until the road is completed); cycling lanes along Campeau from Herzberg to Carling and extension of the transitway from Bayshore to Moodie. Widening of March Road north of Maxwell Bridge and extension of the Goulbourn Forced Road will be in a later phase.

Three amendments to the Official Plan that I presented were passed. One is to undertake a design study of the Beaverbrook Community under the heritage act. This is a means of protecting the character of that community which is undergoing many requests for high rise infill developments. A second amendment removes both the Kanata North and Kanata South Business Parks from policies which would limit the height of most new buildings to 4 storeys. Instead, a secondary plan will be undertaken in 2015 to develop an appropriate plan for these business parks. If the proposed height limitations had previously been in place it would not have been possible to develop these business parks as they exist today. The third amendment retained the existing designation for lands just west of Didsbury so that owners can legally continue their projects.

I appreciate the support from City staff in making these changes that will benefit our communities. The Official Plan is updated every 5 years, so further changes will be made in 2018 to suit our communities at that time.

In 2014 City staff will prepare a zoning bylaw to implement the Official Plan and to reduce requests for rezonings – something which has concerned residents. In addition, a new development charges bylaw will be introduced to set fees paid on new development to fund infrastructure requirements. These fees pay for items like roads, sidewalks, parks, libraries, storm drainage, street lights, recreation centres and more.

VIGIL TO HONOUR ABUSED & MURDERED WOMEN Each year I attend the Vigil organized by the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre to remember the 14 female students murdered at Montreal’s Polytechnique and to honour all women who are victims of violence. The Vigil takes place at on Friday, December 6 at 5 pm at the WOCRC, 2 MacNeil Court in Kanata .

All are invited.

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

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

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

At the meeting, information regarding the study process, project objectives, existing conditions, alternative designs, and the preliminary evaluation of the alternatives, will be presented. City Staff and their consultants will be available to answer questions.

For further information or to provide comments, contact the City’s project manager or the consulting team project manager at the addresses below.

Castlefrank gets mo-bsessed for Movember Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Community - Castlefrank Elementary School was a sea of moustaches at a Movember assembly on Nov. 29.

Some of the lip warmers were drawn on with black markers, while paper moustaches were taped to upper lips. Then there were a number of people who grew the real deal.

The month of November has become a time to raise funds for and awareness about men’s health. The movement – known as Movember –has come to include growing a moustache from scratch for 30 days.

The principals at Castlefrank and Glen Cairn Public School made a wager on which school would raise the most funds for men’s health programs, with the second place principal having to wear the winner’s school’s jersey for a day.

Castlefrank raised a total of $1,710, while Glen Cairn came in at $490.

“Everyone’s a winner,” said teacher Rebecca Taggart, who organized the Movember movement at Castlefrank. “Together the two schools raised more than $2,000.”

With only one male staff member – principal

Ron Henry – Castlefrank had a challenge to come up with additional Movember participants.

“If you look around at the teachers, we can’t grow moustaches,” said Taggart. “We put the challenge out to our dads … We got a huge response.”

Fifteen fathers stepped up to grow lip warmers and raise funds with Henry. A student-judged moustache contest was held during the assembly.

The judges included Brooke Camlioglu, in Grade 1, Grade 2 student Ben Strongitharm, and Mason Larmour, in Grade 3, who graded all the moustaches.

Four dads took home top place in the categories: • Most money raised on team website: Chris Drain, who raised $375 • Best groomed “mo”: Stéphane Gagnon • Best “mo” picture: Jon Landon • Best whiskers: Brian McNulty It was the first year Castlefrank participated in Movember, which the staff hopes becomes an annual tradition.

“All that money goes to men’s health programs,” said Taggart. “Let’s try and get 30 dads next year.”

A.Y. students advocate for ban on flavoured tobacco School hosting event to raise funds for cancer societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drivers program Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

SUBMITTED

A.Y. Jackson students Saania Tariq, left, and Ovini Thomas attended a conference downtown on Nov. 23 and 24 calling on governments to ban flavoured tobacco products. The students are also hosting a fundraiser for the societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transportation program, which had to implement a $100 fee this year due to low funding.

Notice of Completion Carlington Heights Pump Station Site Upgrade Class Environmental Assessment Report Available for Review The City of Ottawa has completed a Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) study for the Carlington Heights Pump Station Site Upgrade. This project is needed to improve the reliability of water supply to about one third of the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s distribution system, and to provide additional capacity needed to accommodate future urban growth. This project has been planned as Schedule â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; projects under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment document (2007). The purpose of the Class EA study was to conďŹ rm project need and justiďŹ cation, document existing environmental conditions, examine alternatives and potential impacts, and recommend a preferred site upgrade alternative.

News - Cancer should not come in a candy wrapper.

That was one of the messages two A.Y. Jackson Secondary School students had for tobacco companies selling flavoured products. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I learned so many things about flavoured candy and flavoured tobacco,â&#x20AC;? said Grade 12 student Ovini Thomas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost like weed to other drugs. This is the gateway drug to tobacco long-term addiction.â&#x20AC;?

Ovini, a member of the Canadian Cancer Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth troop, attended a conference downtown with classmate Saania Tariq on Nov. 23 and 24 with hundreds of other youths from across Canada to learn about creative ways to advocate for a ban of fla-

voured tobacco.

Although the provincial and federal government passed a bill banning flavoured cigarillos in 2010, tobacco companies have been able to get around a loophole in the legislation by selling products in a larger size, said Ovini, who lives in Bells Corners.

Now, the Canadian Cancer Society is asking the government to ban all flavoured tobacco products with its campaign titled #endtheflavour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fifty-two per cent of high school students who have used tobacco in the past 30 days have used flavoured tobacco products,â&#x20AC;? said Ovini. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youth and kids my age are going to want to try it out.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really sneaky way to get them smoking a pack of cigarettes.â&#x20AC;?

She added that many youth are under the impression that

there is no tobacco in shisha, a flavoured product smoked through a water pipe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is tobacco in it and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flavoured. Any person, any age, can go into a shop and have a hookah session,â&#x20AC;? said Ovini. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I talked to some students after the conference and hookah and shisha are actually popular among many students. They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know it contained tobacco. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes it sound like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as harmful, but it is.â&#x20AC;?

Flavoured products come in a wide variety of tastes, including grape, cherry, strawberry, mango, ice-cream, pina colada and chocolate. Flavoured tobacco products are made to appeal to youth and are marketed in brightly coloured candy-like packages, according to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Ovini, who wants to be a doctor, got involved with the Canadian Cancer Society after her uncle battled and survived cancer.

“I actually got involved because my uncle is a cancer survivor. I saw the struggle he went through and all the support he got from organizations,” she said. “They’re such help to patients going through cancer treatments.”

She started out by selling daffodils to raise funds and joined the youth group as a way to build her high school volunteer hours.

“When I was in Grade 11, I didn’t have any opportunities or ways to get my volunteer hours filled in a fun but also a meaningful way,” she said. Then she received an email

about the society’s youth groups.

“The society has given me a chance to take on a big leadership role which I’m really, really thankful for.”

Ovini is president of the cancer society’s youth group at A.Y. Jackson, which currently has 40 students in the group.

Last year, the group had only six people.

“This year it was just such a huge turnout.

It was so unexpected that so many students wanted to get involved. We were really, really happy,” said Ovini.

With the youth group, she creates her own volunteer opportunities. She helped organize a fashion show with volunteer models to raise education about indoor tanning and cancer.

“People who volunteered learned from it and also had fun,” said Ovini.

Now, she’s organizing a dance showcase, to be held Dec. 11 at 7 p.m. at the school, located at 150 Abbeyhill Dr. Funds raised will benefit the cancer society’s transportation service, which offers drives for cancer patients to and from treatments.

The program, which costs $6 million a year in Ontario, has had to start charging $100.

“Since the Canadian Cancer Society has been low on funding, they’ve had to start charging the patients $100. It used to be free,” Ovini said.

“It’s not a fee for service, it’s a registration fee. If a person is not able to pay for the regis-

tration fee, there is a compassionate program that waives it for them … or if they can pay something, they can pay a portion of the fee.

No one will be turned away from service.”

The dance showcase is open to the public and there is no ticket price, but donations to the program will be gladly accepted.

A driver in the program will also speak to the audience during the event.

Last year, drivers helped 15,500 patients get to their appointments, driving more than 12-million kilometres, said Ovini. “(That’s) a distance equivalent to driving around the world almost 300 times or more than 15 roundtrips to the moon,” she said.

The program has been in place since the 1950s but since then, a growing and aging population has increased the demand for the service. The number of clients increased by 20 per cent in 2012, up to 15,500 patients from 13,000 in 2011, said Ovini.

“We have been running the program for many years purely on the donations of our donors and the community. However, now because of rising numbers of cancer patients needing the service, we had to make a fee because the cost of running the program is really high,” she said.

“We are challenged by an environment in which resources have become scarce in terms of both fundraising and volunteer recruitment. Like all charities, we must make our dollars go further.”

The therapy has been used to help people with mood disorders, and patterns of behaviour resulting in self injury.

One example of the therapy is teaching Buddhist meditative techniques to help deal with extreme emotions.

“We know that one in five young people in the community are living with a mental health issue,” said Janice Barresi, executive director of the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa Charitable Foundation. “We’ve seen an increased

need at Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa for mental health services – in part a program of this nature.”

The bureau announced accepted a $25,000 cheque from Bell Let’s Talk Community Fund, a national charity that promotes mental health across Canada, while at the Kanata high school.

The bureau is one of more than 50 groups across Canada to receive funding from the Bell Let’s Talk fund this year.

fered by the bureau, including a 24/7 crisis line, youth and family counselling programs and a mental health walk-in clinic.

MENTAL HEALTH AMBASSADORS

Ottawa rapper Peter Joynt, who was a keynote speaker at the event, discussed his struggle growing up with a speech impediment, which often made him a target of cruel remarks.

“Having a stutter is not an easy thing,” he said. “I was teased.”

Joynt learned to ignore what other people said, as well as how to express himself without stuttering through the power of singing. He said when he performs, his brain somehow bridges the mental gap which usually forces him to stutter.

“It doesn’t matter what someone thinks of you,” he said. “Stand tall.”

All Saints provided a team of student mental health ambassadors to introduce the speakers at the funding announcement.

The students are also members of the All Saints mental health awareness group, an organization formed four years ago to help children and teens. Last year, the group received $5,000 from CHEO to hold a Bounce Back Day for youth mental health.

The group has applied for another CHEO grant to hold a similar event, titled A’Maze’ing, in May 2014.

“It’s going to be ‘Mental Health is A’Maze’ing,’” said Alyssa Tremblay, a Grade 12 student.

“Instead of a bouncy castle it’s going to be a maze,” said Lucas Restrepo, a Grade 11 student.

During the event, students will be asked to find stress-relieving tips written on pieces of paper hidden in the maze.

“All we’re trying to do is have the kids realize there are tips to dealing with stress,” said Alyssa.

Coping with the holidays at The Oasis The Oasis in Kanata

The Oasis in Kanata will hold its next session for caregivers of those living with a mental illness on Dec. 16.

Cynthia Clark from the Ottawa Chapter of the Schizophrenia Society of Ontario will be sharing practical ideas on Managing Holiday Stressors: Coping and Caring - helping caregivers and family members prepare for the challenges the holiday season may bring.

This is the second visit for Clark, a caregiver herself who knows firsthand the challenges of caring for a loved one living with mental illness.

Her September presentation, Mental Illness: A Family’s Journey, delivered a message of the power of perseverance and hope in the face of the daily ups and downs for families coping with a mental illness.

Participants were enthusiastic in their appreciation of

Clark’s talk, and are looking forward to learning about anticipating potential challenges during the holiday season, and planning in advance.

The December presentation is the fourth and final session in the fall program at The Oasis in Kanata, a pilot project started by the Glen Cairn United Church in September, to explore how the Church might begin to meet the support needs of caregivers in the community.

The Oasis in Kanata has received favourable feedback from participants, with up to 80 per cent commenting that the information is relevant and the speakers are effective.

People at the sessions have noted that in addition to the practical guidance the sessions offer, the program helps to remove the stigma of mental illness and acknowledges how taxing it is being a caregiver of a loved one with a mental illness.

The Oasis in Kanata will

continue the program into 2014.

Taxes, Trusts and Financial issues of Caregivers scheduled for Jan. 20 will give caregivers practical information on finance and tax planning, a timely topic for the tax season.

A monthly caregiver support is planned. In addition, in February The Oasis in Kanata is host, offering a four-week Strengthening Families Together program, a proven caregiver course that balances basic psycho-educational and skill -training with self-care, emotional support and empowerment.

Managing Holiday Stressors will be held at 7 p.m., at the Glen Cairn United Church, 140 Abbeyhill Dr. There is no charge or a pre-registration requirement.

Celebrate nature with new gallery exhibit Carp Ridge artist featured for December Arts - The newest exhibition at the Kanata Civic Art Gallery is a cause for celebration.

The show, titled “Celebrate!” runs until the New Year and features Carp Ridge artist Karl Kischel, who’s received numerous awards for his work.

Kischel uses his paintings to celebrate the natural environment, which he’s fond of painting. He has several landscapes – captured in every season – hanging in his rural home.

“I just love nature and to give to people – that gift of art,” he said.

“Just the spirit of it; I find it’s my family, my religion. Whether it’s an animal or a tree, I just feel close to it.

“The spirit I connect with comes out (in the paintings). People love it, they enjoy it.”

Many of his works feature hidden imagery of aboriginal faces and silhouettes among the rocks, trees and leaves. One even has an image of Kischel and his wife, who have been married for 24 years, locked in an embrace.

“I don’t plan them. I have no explanation for it, that’s just what happens to me,” said Kischel, who has aboriginal blood in his lineage.

“You put the paint on quickly but these things always turn up.”

His landscapes are painted with a life-like quality, creating vibrant scenes such as waterfalls rushing over rocks. Kischel will have a number of works on display at the gallery show, including paintings

of the Ottawa Valley, Carp Ridge, Madawaska and the East Coast, as well as images of heritage buildings, he said.

INSPIRATION

Kischel, who comes from an air force family, was born in Whitehorse, Yukon and has lived in various parts of Canada as well as in France and Germany, before he settled in West Carleton.

He finds inspiration for his paintings in his backyard, on canoe trips through Algonquin Park and skiing in the Gatineau Hills, he said. A trip to the east coast this past fall provided the ideas for a number of new works.

Kischel, who just celebrated his 60th birthday, first picked up a paint brush when he was 11 years old.

Family friends who were art dealers from Paris took to his work.

“Around that age I did a painting of a ring-necked pheasant flying through a green field,” he said, adding the art dealers took him under their wing. “I guess they saw my talent.”

He started painting in oils, then moved to watercolours, and most recently Kischel’s been using acrylics for the past four years.

“It can be transparent like watercolours or it can be thick and (you) use a palette knife on it like oil,” he said about his favourite medium.

“The luminosity of it can be quite striking.”

He often will take a set of photographs and paint in his studio, but sometimes he’ll still create his art outdoors in “plein air.”

JESSICA CUNHA/METROLAND

Carp Ridge artist Karl Kischel is the feature artist in the Kanata Civic Art Gallery’s newest exhibit Celebrate! which runs until January.

Kischel studied commercial and fine art at Algonquin College, Ottawa School of Art, Schneiders and Haliburton schools of art. Aside from being a member of the Kanata Civic Art Gallery, Kischel is also a member of the Kanata Art Club and the West Carleton Art Society, and participates in a number of studio tours every year. To book a tour of Kischel’s home gallery, call 613832-0793.

The Kanata Civic Art Gallery is located in the Mlacak Centre at 2500 Campeau Dr., and is open while the building undergoes construction. A temporary entrance is set up at the arena, to the left of the main doors.

Male chorus welcomes Christmas with seasonal songs Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Arts - Members of the Goulbourn Male Chorus are prepping their pitches and honing their harmonies for their Welcome Christmas concert on Dec. 15.

The annual holiday performance will be completely different from last year’s event, said Laurisse Huijer, a Carp resident who’s been a member

of the group for two years.

The chorus has been rehearsing once a week since September and the show promises to be another crowd pleaser.

“I don’t think we’ve ever disappointed,” said Huijer, adding a number of new members joined the group after last year’s show. “If you enjoy music, it’s two hours of good music.”

Welcome Christmas, which takes place at St. Paul’s Anglican Church, 20 Young Rd.

R0012448373

starting at 3 p.m., will feature a range of new melodies, seasonal songs and well-known carols that will have the audience singing along.

“When people know the music, they just love it,” said Huijer, who also sings in the eightmember a cappella ensemble.

The Goulbourn Male Chorus was founded in 2010 by Robert Dueck, who also directs the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus.

“I’ve always done choral work, I love choral work,” said Dueck, who lives in Stittsville after moving to the city from British Columbia.

When he relocated he found there were no gender-specific choirs; so he set about creating the Goulbourn chorus, followed by the ladies ensemble two years later.

The male chorus has grown from 12 members to 27 men from across the west end.

The group is looking for new members to join the spring term, which runs from Jan. 14 to May 24. The chorus meets on Tuesdays, from 7 to 9:15 p.m. at St. Thomas Anglican Church, 1619 Stittsville Main St. Interested applicants are invited to request more information or to arrange for

an interview by emailing goulbournmalechorus@gmail. com.

The Goulbourn chorus also performs “sing outs,” where members visit retirement residences to put on a show.

“We’re a community choir,” said Huijer. “We’re there for fun.”

“It brings joy into their community,” said Dueck.

Aside from directing, Dueck knows how to read his audience, said Huijer.

The highlight of last year’s concert was the parody song Twelve Days After Christmas. A take-off on the original Twelve Days of Christmas, the two lovers have a fight and take out their anger on the gifts: burning the pear tree, making chicken soup out of French hens and other diabolical plots that had the audience in stitches.

“It was fun,” said Huijer. “(Dueck) picks the music; he knows what people like.”

GUEST MUSICIANS

The concert will feature a number of guest musicians, including soloist Skye MacDiarmid, whose mother and father are both chorus members.

SUBMITTED

The Goulbourn Male Chorus is preparing for its Welcome Christmas concert, to be held on Dec. 15 at St. Paul’s Anglican Church.

MacDiarmid’s mother Bonnie is the accompanist for the Goulbourn Male Chorus (as well as the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus), while her father Rory is president of, and sings with, the male group.

The Polished Brass Quintet, an Ottawa-based group whose repertoire covers the spectrum from classical to folk, and from show tunes to jazz, will also perform several times during the concert.

Tickets are $15 in advance and at the door for the Dec. 1

Christmas concert, and can be purchased at Gaia Java Coffee Shop (1300 Stittsville Main St.), Domenic’s Music Store (444 Hazeldean Rd.) and CD Warehouse (499 Terry Fox Dr.). Limited free admission tickets will be available for children 12 and under.

Tickets will be available at the door if they’re not sold out.

Get your home in the holiday spirit Lifestyle - Take advantage of the milder temperatures to get your holiday lights up and get it done safely with these tips from Hydro One: • Always use CSA approved lights, cords, plugs and sockets and are properly marked for outdoor or indoor use.

• Do not overload circuits.

Have no more than 1,400 watts on a circuit. If other lights in the house dim when the holiday lighting is turned on or the plug is very hot after unplugging it, your circuit is overloaded.

To figure out a circuit’s load, multiply the number of bulbs by the watts per bulb, and add any lamps, appliances or other equipment on the same circuit.

• Before you put light strings on a shrub, tree or your house,

check for breaks or signs of insulation deterioration. Frayed cords or loose connections indicate that the wiring is poor.

Replace any defective sets.

• Never install lights with the power on. Test lights first, then unplug to install.

• Keep electrical connections off the ground. Use eave clips or insulated staples, rather than nails and tacks, to hold light strings in place.

• Keep wiring clear of metal parts such as ornamental railings and drainpipes, to prevent any risk of shock from an electrical current.

Do not leave any light sockets empty if you want sections in your light string unlit.

This can create a fire hazard or could be fatal if someone touches the inside of the empty socket. Instead place a

burned-out bulb in the socket.

This will not affect the other lights on the string.

SAVE ENERGY

Looking to save energy this holiday season? Make the switch to LED holiday lights and enjoy significant energy and cost savings this winter.

According to Natural Resources Canada, LED’s use 80 per cent less energy than their incandescent counterparts, so now is the time to upgrade your old incandescent strings.

LED light strings also last up to 10 times longer than incandescent light strings. And because they don’t have moving parts, filaments or glass, they’re much more durable and shock-resistant than other light strings.

Police gala supports Christie Lake Kids Community - Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau presented a cheque for $105,000 to Christie Lake Kids at a recent Ottawa police services board’s meeting.

The cheque represents the total funds raised at the fourth annual Police Gala held on Oct. 19 at the Ottawa Convention Centre.

“This generous gift will help over 150 vulnerable children access barrier free skill development programs after school and on weekends,” said Chris Hughes, president of the board of directors of Christie Lake Kids.

The Ottawa police has been hosting the gala since 2010 and has raised $372,000 to date.

“The Ottawa Police Gala is a great opportunity to raise funds for important causes in our community,” said Bor-

deleau.

“We know the value of the services Christie Lake Kids provide to youth. We were pleased to have them as our beneficiary this year and to be able to support them in carrying out the important work they do.”

The fifth annual police gala will be held on Oct. 25, 2014 at the Ottawa Convention Centre.

Tickets for this event will go on sale in the spring.

Beginning in December, the OPS will be accepting applications from local registered charities who wish to be the charity of choice for next year’s gala.

The applications are received through Charity Village at charityvillage.com.

The deadline for applications is Jan. 17.

War Amps celebrates 95th anniversary

BARRHAVEN LONGFIELDS STATION 420 Via Verona Ave, Ottawa ON

ARNPRIOR CALLAHAN ESTATES 2 Tom Gavinski Street, Ottawa ON

Community - The War Amps 2013 address label mailing is on its way to Ontario residents.

Its theme – Where It All Began – pays tribute to the association’s 95th anniversary.

For Karl, “it all began” with an accident when he was a toddler.

In the letter accompanying the mailing, he describes how the War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program was there for him after he escaped his play area to explore the family farm and ended up losing his right leg in a grain auger.

“Fortunately, CHAMP had been launched just two years before, and the first thing my family learned was that there would be help whenever we needed it,” Karl said.

“As I grew up, the War Amps support for artificial limbs, vast information and regional seminars gave me

all the tools possible for my independence and success.”

Sent as a thank you to supporters of the War Amps key tag service, address labels are not just for envelopes.

They can be used to identify items like books and for filling out name and address information on forms.

Karl is just one of the thousands of Champs who have benefitted from the War Amps 95 year legacy of “amputees helping amputees.” For more stories, read the association’s latest annual report at waramps. ca.

The War Amps receives no government grants. Its programs are possible solely through public support of the key tag and address label service. For more information, or to order address labels, visit waramps. ca or call toll-free 1-800250-3030.

Recycling was in style during Depression MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories on the rest of the girls at Northcote School wearing the exact same underwear. Early in the fall, Mother would have ordered at least one new pair from Eaton’s catalogue when she sent in her winter order, but they wouldn’t be worn early in the season. They would be saved for much later.

Much later came when the old bloomers had faded to a light purple and a few holes started to appear. This happened from many turns sliding down the snow that was piled over the back fence at school, just in front of the outdoor rink.

SNOW SLIDE

The boys in Senior Fourth would have built the snow slide and doused it with pails of water from the pump and when they were finished and it had frozen solid, it provided many recess hours of sliding down on our backsides. Of course, the bloomers took the full brunt of the icy slide and it didn’t take long for the navy blue dye to fade.

And many was the day, after recess was over, we went back into the school, and sat on wet bottoms until it was time to go home at four o’clock!

But it didn’t matter how faded the bloomers became; the new ones were kept for special occasions. Special occasions meant going to church, or visiting neighbours for the Saturday night house parties. And on Christmas morning, I was allowed to wear the new bloomers, because after all, it was a “going to church” day too.

The bloomers had elastic legs, but the elastic was never taut enough to hold up our beige ribbed stockings.

So we still had to wear tight elastic bands for that purpose.

Of course, we could pull the legs of the bloomers down to cover the bands, and when we undressed at night before

going to bed, it wasn’t unusual to have deep furrows in our legs where the elastic was worn all day. When I got into bed at night beside my sister Audrey, I would still be scratching the dents in my legs until

Audrey would slap me on my back and tell me to “cut it out, you’re driving me crazy with all that scratching.”

By mid-winter the navy blue bloomers, from the wear and tear they got and the many washings with homemade lye soap, would spring a hole, usually around the elastic legs or on the elastic waist band. That’s when I would lament to Mother that the bloomers were done for. Even

of the legs and waist, and put in the sewing basket.

The bloomers were sliced open and cut into at least two pieces. Then they were tucked into the rag bag, and used for dusting, wiping up spills, and of course they were ideal for scrubbing the floors every Saturday.

Like everything else back in the Depression years, the bloomers were recycled decades before the term was ever heard of.

when mending them with navy thread failed to make them presentable, they would be deemed unwearable, much to my delight.

Now, I would get the brand new bloomers that had been tucked away since early fall, and I was glad to see the last of the old faded ones.

But that wasn’t to be the end of the old bloomers. Oh no, they were put to another use by Mother.

The elastic was taken out

Hope.

ave you got them on yet?”

I was talking to my little friend Velma on the next farm. She didn’t have to ask what I was talking about. I had already asked the same question of Joyce. She didn’t have to ask me what I was asking about either. They both knew I was referring to the dreaded navy blue fleece lined bloomers.

As soon as there was a bite in the air, out came the bloomers. Now, I had to admit, they certainly kept out the drafts over our flour-bag underwear, and once winter had really set in, off came the flour bags and on went the long johns. So our bottoms were well protected when the snow came.

Very few of us wore slacks during school hours. Sometimes we put on melton cloth pants that tucked into our galoshes and wore them on the five-and-a-half-kilometre trek, but they were taken off when we got to school, and hung in the cloak room at the back.

Miss Crosby frowned on girls in pants in the 1930’s.

But just about every girl at Northcote School wore navy blue fleecelined bloomers. Well, all except Marguirite, who thought they were, as she called them, ugly and not “girl-like”. Joyce, who was very inquisitive, was determined she would find out what Marguirite wore to keep warm if she didn’t wear the blue bloomers.

And one day she “accidentally” tripped her when we were lining up at the door after Miss Crosby rang the bell, and Marguirite went backside over tea-kettle and fell off the step, exposing everything she owned to the entire school.

Well, she hadn’t lied about the blue bloomers.

She had on bloomers as white as the driven snow, and Joyce who was closest to her at the fall, said they had fine purple lines through them. She got a real good look, did Joyce.

They must have been bought at Walker’s Store in Renfrew, not from Eaton’s catalogue where ours came from.

And so this time of year, you could count

Tis the season to protect your property Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

News – As residents deck their halls in preparation for the holiday season, they should also be extra vigilant about break-ins, according to police.

As Christmas season peaks, so does crime, said Const. Nicole Gorham, the community police officer for south Ottawa.

“People are paying attention,” she said.

She said families who travel during the holidays need to take extra steps to keep burglars at bay.

“Have it arranged that somebody’s going to clear the snow and bring the flyers in,” Gorham said. “Put your lights on a timer and have someone checking on the property.”

And most of all, keep personal information like travel dates off of social media.

“Bad guys are on social media too, and they prey on it,” Gorham said. Posting a photo of your beautiful Christmas tree could inadvertently advertise that you’ve got a 60-inch flatscreen television, she said.

And if you’ve posted photos of your street or house recently, it won’t take much for the criminals to figure out where you live.

As parcels and presents make their way into homes, residents should make sure to remove them from their vehicles as quickly as possible, or at least hide them in the trunk so they’re not visible, Gorham added.

She said it only takes a few seconds to break a window and make off with a festively-wrapped present.

“For $20, someone will do that,” she said.

Scammers will also make their rounds this time of year, and Gorham said residents have every right to keep the door closed if they don’t trust a visitor on their doorstep.

“If it doesn’t seem legit it probably isn’t,” she said.

“And if they’re not leaving, obviously call the police.”

As Ottawa experienced its first big snowstorm of the season Nov. 27, Gorham said drivers need to be cautious on the roads – even if they have winter tires.

“You’re not invincible,” she said. “You still have to allow extra space in between and extra time for braking. You can have all the equipment in the world, but you still need to adjust your driving to the conditions.”

For those planning to travel during the holiday season, police are advising residents to take steps like putting lights on a timer and finding a friend or neighbour to keep an eye on the property to keep criminals at bay.

Crime spikes in the holiday season Continued from page 52

Gorham said drivers need to employ their defensive driving skills and be aware of their surroundings.

“Don’t just focus on the car in front of you, you want to be looking up in front and scanning,” she said, noting that keeping an eye out for pedestrians and cyclists must remain a priority.

“Hitting the brakes at the last second or swerving is a recipe for losing control of the vehicle and we don’t want anyone hurt,” she said.

And of course, on bad weather days residents should stay home if possible.

“If you’re not comfortable on those roads, stay off them,” Gorham said. “It’s just not worth it.”

How to Sell Your Kanata Home Without an Agent and Save the Commission Ottawa ON - If you've tried to sell your home yourself, you know that the minute you put the "For Sale by Owner" sign up, the phone will start to ring off the hook. Unfortunately, most calls aren't from prospective buyers, but rather from every real estate agent in town who will start to hound you for your listing.

Like other "For Sale by Owners", you'll be subjected to a hundred sales pitches from agents who will tell you how great they are and how you can't possibly sell your home by yourself. After all, without the proper information, selling a home isn't easy. Perhaps you've had your home on the market for several months with no offers from qualified buyers.

Stop investment scams in their tracks News - We’ve all heard the saying, “if it looks too good to be true, it probably is”. But when it comes to investments, how do you know what’s too good to be true?

Here are four signs that an investment might be a scam:

• You can make a lot of money with no risk. Investments that are considered low risk typically have returns close to current Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) rates. If your expected return is higher than this, you’re taking

more risk with your money.

• It’s a hot tip or insider information. If the hot tip is false, you will lose your money if you act on it. If the inside information about a public company is true, acting on it would be illegal. Ask yourself

why someone would share this information with you, and how they might stand to benefit.

• You’re pressured to buy right away. Scammers know that if you take time to check out the details, you probably

won’t fall for their scheme.

• The individual or the company are not registered to sell investments. Anyone selling securities or offering investment advice must be registered with their provincial securities regulator, unless they have an exemption.

In Ontario, you can check their registration – and whether they’ve been in trouble with a securities regulator – with

the Ontario Securities Commission.

“Before you invest, always take the time to do your research and get a second opinion,” says Hamza.

You can test your knowledge of fraud prevention with the Cranial Cash Clash at www.GetSmarterAboutMoney.ca.

Baked turkey spring rolls great way to use up leftover turkey Lifestyle - Deep-fried spring rolls tend to be high in fat, but baked ones taste just as good.

You can achieve a crispy wrapper by brushing the spring rolls lightly with oil before baking.

These rolls are a great way to use leftover turkey.

Preparation time: 25 minutes.

Cooking time: 35 minutes.

Makes 20 spring rolls.

INGREDIENTS

• 125 g (4 oz) rice vermicelli • 25 ml (2 tbsp) vegetable oil • 1 onion, diced • 3 cloves garlic, minced • 15 ml (1 tbsp) grated fresh gingerroot • 500 ml (2 cups) shredded red cabbage • 1 l (4 cups) coarsely chopped

cooked turkey (about 500 g/1 lb) • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) each salt and pepper • 2 large carrots, grated (about 500 ml/2 cups) • 500 ml (2 cups) bean sprouts • 1 pkg (275 g/9.7 oz) large square spring roll wrappers • 1 egg yolk, beaten Sweet Chili Sauce • 175 ml (3/4 cup) hoisin sauce • 50 ml (1/4 cup) water • 2 cloves garlic, minced • 15 ml (1 tbsp) each liquid honey and rice vinegar • 10 ml (2 tsp) sambal oelek or hot chili sauce PREPARATION

Sweet chili sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, water, garlic, honey, vinegar and sambal oelek un-

til the honey is dissolved. Set aside.

Cover the rice vermicelli in hot water and soak for 10 minutes or until it’s soft.

Drain very well, using a fine sieve to extract as much liquid as possible. Cut the noodles into five-centimetre (two-inch)

lengths and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat 15 ml (1 tbsp) of the oil over medium-high heat.

Cook the onion, garlic and ginger, stirring, until softened – about 3 minutes.

Reduce the heat to medium and add the cabbage.

rice vermicelli and let cool.

Lay one spring roll wrapper on your work surface with a point facing away from you.

Place 125 ml (1/2 cup) of the turkey mixture just below the centre of the wrapper.

Fold the bottom point of wrapper over filling. Roll over once, so filling is enclosed.

Fold over sides and continue rolling. Using your fingertip, dab a bit of egg on the top point of the wrapper to seal the roll. Repeat this process with the remaining filling and wrappers. Place the rolls on a greased baking sheet.

Brush the remaining oil lightly all over the spring rolls and bake in a 220 C (425 F) oven, turning once, until they’re crisp and golden -about 25 minutes. Serve with the remaining sauce.

Cover the skillet and cook until tender-crisp, about five minutes.

Add the turkey and 250 ml (1 cup) of the sauce, salt and pepper and cook, stirring to coat, for two minutes.

Transfer to a bowl. Stir in the carrots, bean sprouts and

Community - For the ninth year, Operation Big Turkey will once again be offering a free gourmet Christmas Eve dinner for those in need.

Last year we served roughly 1,400 meals in four locations in Ottawa and we expect to serve even more this year.

Nine years ago, a group of friends were discussing how Christmas wasn’t the same for them anymore.

Yet they understood they were not among the many people who, for economic and personal reasons, dreaded Christmas.

Each year, the number of people that wanted to get involved increased, so that this year we will have close to 200 volunteers, organizing, prepping, cooking and serving roughly 1500 free dinners to guests that have a real

Hunter and boater safety a must: OPP News - Duck hunters and anglers should take extra care in making sure they have all the proper boating safety equipment plus extra survival gear.

Everyone needs to remember that lifejackets and other safety equipment are still required at all times when boating.

More clothes and equipment in boats make it all that much more important to remember to have a lifejacket that will fit over heavy clothing or better yet, wear a floater jacket or survival suit.

Always tell someone where you will be going and when you are expected to be home.

If you are going to be out before sunrise or after sunset make

sure you have proper navigation lights as required by the Canada Shipping Act. Remember: every one requires proof of competency on board all motorized boats.

OFF-ROAD & ALL-TERRAIN VEHICLES

Safe riding rules to remember: • Always wear an approved helmet. Fluorescent orange helmets are available for hunters.

• Never operate an A.T.V. when consuming alcohol.

• Always read the instruction manual and follow manufacturer’s recommendations, i.e. obey warning labels and stickers on

the A.T.V. • A.T.V.’s are permitted on the shoulders of some approved roads; however, operators must possess a minimum G2M2 drivers licence and obey all the rules of the road and the Off Road Vehicles Act. Check with the local municipal office or police to ensure what roads are approved.

• Make sure you’re Off Road Vehicle is registered, plated and insured and you carry all the documents (drivers licence and insurance must be originals).

• If operating on an approved roadway the speed limit for ATV’s is 50 kph where the speed for cars is over 50 kph and 20 kph for ATV’s where the

speed for cars is 50 kph or less.

• A.T.V.s are motor vehicles and guns must be unloaded at all times when on them.

• Passengers are not allowed on ATVs when operated on roads.

LICENCE SUSPENSION

The administrative driver’s licence suspension for registering a warn on an approved screening device not only applies to motor vehicles, but all

vessels and off-road vehicles as well. The best rule of thumb is if your operating any motor vehicle, vessel or off-road vehicle, don’t drink and drive.

The penalties for registering a “warn” are: • First time: three-day drivers licence suspension • Second time: seven-day drivers licence suspension and required to take remedial alcohol treatment program.

• Third time: 30-day drivers

licence suspension, required to take remedial alcohol treatment program and have ignition interlock device attached to your vehicle for six months.

If you are over the legal limit of 80milligrams of alcohol, police will have their motor vehicle drivers licence suspended for 90 days and you will face criminal charges.

Magical Village lights up Ottawa Lions host annual Christmas fundraiser sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The magic of the Christmas season soared into OrlĂŠans last week during the launch of an annual fundraiser.

The Gloucester North Lions Club hosted the official opening of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Magical Village, a miniature community complete with electronic trains, a ski resort, a drive-thru McDonalds, and of course, Santa Claus and his nine reindeer Place Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Orleans shopping centre.

The fundraising event has raised more than $200,000 since its inception in 1998 for local charities and individuals in need in the Ottawa area.

This year, the proceeds from the Magical Village will go towards the Gloucester Emergency Food Cupboard, Lions Camp Dorset, and Ronald McDonald House.

Last year, $12,000 was raised and distributed to three different charities, said Lion Mark Marcogliese, who also serves as co-chair of the fundraiser. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By working together, the Magical Village comes to life thanks to Lion volunteers,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Former Gloucester mayor Claudette Cain Coulas joined Mayor Jim Watson and OrlĂŠans Coun. Bob Monette at the event. Cain Coulas

was the originator of the Magical Village, which was displayed at the former Gloucester City Hall in its first year.

Throughout the years, a number of charities, such as the Gloucester Emergency Food Aid and the Gloucester Child Care Services took over the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heartwarming to know the pride that lingers in my heart, and always will for Gloucester, is still here today amongst all these volunteers,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I happened to be lucky enough to be the mayor at the time and we were trying to think of some way to heighten the real meaning of Christmas and make it fun for the kids of the community.â&#x20AC;?

She remembered back 15 years ago when they asked Minto for $5,000 towards the construction of the village. Partnerships were formed with Gloucester community groups, and over the years, the village grew, Cain Coulas said.

For the first time, the Lions are selling pieces of the Magical Village.

All proceeds from the sale of these items go to the three charities. Entrance to the Magical Village is free, but food and monetary donations are welcome.

All of the work was completed by volunteers, including the set-up,

sales on post-secondary education campuses and specified provincial government properties.

The measures build on steps the government has already taken, including protecting kids from tobacco exposure in motor vehicles, prohibiting tobacco use in indoor public places and workplaces, and banning the sale of flavoured cigarillos.

Preventing youth from starting to use tobacco and protecting them from the harmful effects of second hand smoke will help to achieve the government’s Action Plan for Health Care goal to have the lowest smoking rate in the country.

“I just clicked and saved 90%”

Did you WagJag and get in on the savings?

Closer to a smoke-free Ontario Community - Ontario is taking the next steps to protect youth from the harmful effects of smoking.

The province will introduce legislation and propose regulatory changes that would, if passed, strengthen the Smoke-Free Ontario Act by increasing penalties for selling tobacco to kids and further limiting smoking in public areas.

The proposed measures include: • Prohibiting smoking on playgrounds, sport fields, and restaurant and bar patios.

• Increasing fines for those who sell tobacco to youth, making Ontario’s penalties the highest in Canada.

• Banning the sale of flavoured tobacco products to make smoking less appealing to young people.

• Strengthening enforcement to allow for testing of tobacco in waterpipes in indoor public places.

• Prohibiting tobacco

“That was way to easy!”

already ban smoking on playgrounds.

• Each year, tobacco claims 13,000 lives in Ontario — equivalent to 36 lives every day.

• Tobacco-related disease costs Ontario’s health care system an estimated $1.9 billion in direct health care costs and an additional $5.8 billion in indirect costs such as lost productivity.

Ontario’s smoking rate fell from 24.5 per cent in 2000 to 19 per cent in 2012, representing 255,000 fewer smokers.

Emerald Plaza library celebrates renovations High-tech branch has been open since September Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - The Emerald Plaza branch of the Ottawa Public Library is newly renovated, with fresh artwork, lounge space and areas for users to plug in their laptops.

The renovations were celebrated with an official reopening ceremony on Nov. 23.

Coun. Jan Harder said it used to be the smallest urban branch in the city’s library system.

Before, there wasn’t a lot of space for users to meet, or a dedicated teen area. Now, the library, which is located off Merivale Road, has space to accommodate more people and programs.

“We have a lot of people in here enjoying the space, which we didn’t before,” said branch manager Deborah Dearman.

The renovated library has been open since late September. The branch went through three different closures to complete the renovations, which almost doubled the size.

“I walked in and it was much brighter and beautiful with all the artwork,” said Mayor Jim Watson, who attended the reopening. “Enjoy this beautiful new investment in your community.”

The library is high-tech, with the set-up designed to accommodate users with their own laptops or electronic devices.

It’s also outfitted with radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags.

The tags replace barcodes to find and track items in the library.

The library has new RFID readers that will help locate and sign out items.

“My favourite thing is how bright it is, and the wall of art showing old Nepean,” said Coun. Keith Egli. “I hope this will be as special for the kids in ward 9 as it was for my kids.”

They also highlighted a piece of art

by Merivale High School’s communications and design program graduate Lena Vakulenko. Vakulenko, 19, lives nearby in Barrhaven and attends Carleton University.

Last week’s answers

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

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

Participate in something new and interesting this week, Aries. The perfect activity will present itself in the next few weeks, so be sure to keep your eyes open.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

Taurus, delay any upcoming shopping excursions for the time being.

Your coffers are getting a bit sparse, and you need to conserve the rest of your funds.

Scorpio, a small misunderstanding turns into a larger battle this week.

But you have the power to put the flames out quickly by keeping a cool head.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

Listen to advice this week, Gemini. Loved ones only want to help and provide support, so keep that in mind when those closest to you offer some guidance.

Sagittarius, you are having so much fun lately that it almost seems like life is a game. Just don’t get so caught up in the good times that you overlook your responsibilities.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

Cancer, your suspicions may be aroused by someone who has been paying more attention to you than normal. It could be something completely innocent, but right now you’re not sure.

Capricorn, you usually take your responsibilities quite seriously, and that is often for the best. Just be sure to let your hair down sometimes and have a little fun.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

Every day is a learning process, Leo. You will find that there are a number of new ideas swirling around in your head, and if you pin one down, you may be on to something.

Aquarius, some irregularities have begun to pop up of late. It is not up to you to figure out what is going on, though. Others will discover the truth.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Your colleagues at work may be making things difficult, Virgo, but there is nothing you can do about it right now. Just work your hardest, and things will turn out for the best.

Libra, prepare to juggle multiple responsibilities in the coming days.

Be ready to multi-task and expect to be pulled in multiple directions.

Pisces, your head may be in the clouds, but it is quite comfortable up there. Just don’t linger up there too long.
