Nominations open for board of trade’s business awards Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

The West Ottawa Board of Trade wants to know which businesses the community thinks are the best in the lead up to their 16th-annual People’s Choice Business Awards on Feb. 26.

Though the event is months away, nominations for the awards have recently opened and will close again on Dec. 30.

Nominations after Dec. 30 will not be allowed, “so people need to make sure that they’ve nominated their favourite business,” said the West Ottawa Board of Trade’s executive director, Rosemary Leu. More than 320 people are expected to attend the event, which has seen tremendous growth since it first began, said Leu. New this year is the Busi-

ness Person of the Year award, which recognizes an owner who has demonstrated outstanding business acumen and leadership in the community.

The individual’s business must be a member of the West Ottawa Board of Trade

and must have been in business for at least three years.

Awards for best restaurant, best new business, best nonprofit or community group and citizen of the year are some of the others included.

City must register subdivision first: KNL Continued from page 1

But expropriation wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be necessary, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The city has not refused to register the subdivision,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The city has said that we will register the subdivision in large blocks which (KNL) had agreed to.â&#x20AC;?

Wilkinson said she was further perplexed by KNLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statement because a recent meeting between the two partiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lawyers did not include discussions over registration, she said.

In fact, the city and KNL had worked out a way to have the school land transferred to the school board while the final details on the subdivision are worked out, said Wilkinson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(KNL) canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start doing anything (on the subdivision) until

they get their overall drainage plan approved, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not even been submitted yet,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Instead, the company appears to be using the school as a bargaining chip, said Wilkinson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So they are using (the school) to try to get other approvals,â&#x20AC;? she said, such as permission to cut all the trees agreed upon in their site plan for the entire property.

But Jarvis said the city must first register the subdivision. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve advised the city that we are looking at bringing it back to the OMB,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Despite the disagreement, Wilkinson said that she expects the problems between the city and KNL to be resolved â&#x20AC;&#x153;fairly soon.â&#x20AC;?

The beauty of the business awards is that they offer a chance to recognize businesses of any size, said Leu. “There is an opportunity for the smallest, even homebased business that is exemplifying everything that is good about what they do to be recognized just as much as we would recognize a larger organization,” she said.

The awards are also a boost for businesses both as a way to recognize and encourage their accomplishments, as well as give them some publicity, said Leu. They are also a way to show and celebrate the diversity of Kanata, West Carleton and Goulbourn businesses.

Ottawa not-for-profit EnviroCentre is looking to kick start local environmental sustainability projects in six communities, including Beaverbrook, after securing provincial funding.

The centre’s three-year Sustain Your Community project aims to engage communities to identify and address sustainability concerns in their community.

The centre has identified three communities it will work with, with three more to be added in 2015.

The EnviroCentre chose Lowertown, Beaverbrook and Constance Bay, representing urban, suburban and rural neighbourhoods, to start their project, said community sustainability program co-ordinator Josie Howitt.

“We’ve been hosting information and consultation sessions in the three initial partner communities over the last month, so we are really looking to see from that what the local issues are with regards to four kind of sustainability themes,” she said.

“The four main themes are energy efficiency, sustainable transportation, water conservation and local food,” said Howitt. “We are looking to start out with two focus themes in each of these communities and then possibly expand from there.”

When deciding which communities to select, the Kanata Food Cupboard said food cost and availability were issues in Beaverbrook, as some residents are making use of the food cupboard’s services. The EnviroCentre also heard that seniors ageing in place were becoming isolated, socially and in other ways.

Further insight into the community’s interest came from the local consultation session, which took place at the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Centre on Nov. 27. A dozen community members attended, said Howitt.

“There was more of an interest in energy issues and transportation,” she said.

That included concerns about older homes in the area lacking in some energy efficiencies. There was also a focus on March Road’s 80 kilometres per hour speed limit.

“Some of these things might be outside of the scope of our actual initiative,” said Howitt, though the road does provide a barrier between

The initiative comes after a $276,600 Ontario Trillium Foundation investment. those without cars and grocery stores, fitting into the project’s local food theme, she said.

Lack of sidewalks was also brought up as well as a lack of bike racks, said Howitt. One specific project that was suggested, which the EnviroCentre has undertaken before, was a community transportation map which would identify cycling trails, walking routes, parks and amenities.

Neil Thomson, president of the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association, said that the consultation session encouraged “some lively debates and interesting ideas.”

“Given the right promotion and organization, I believe the interest (in the initiative) will be quite high,” he said. “There is a lot of pride in Beaverbrook as an environmentally focused community.”

He suggested some areas of focus, including ageing green space management for park environments, and

renewing Beaverbrook as a pedestrian and cyclist-friendly community.

The next step in the process is to create the Sustain Beaverbrook Action Committee, which would help to choose and implement projects.

The group’s first meeting will take place sometime in January, though there is no firm date as of yet, said Howitt.

“But if people are interested in being informed about that when it comes about, then they can email us at sustain@envirocentre.ca,” she said.

Though the EnviroCentre has expertise in all four of the project’s sustainability themes, this is the first time it has engaged particular communities in this way, said Howitt.

A grant from the Ontario Trilium Foundation in the amount of $276,600 kicked-off the Sustain Your Community project.

Nowhere to go but up for Sens

T

he news that the Ottawa Senators are considering moving the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arena to LeBreton Flats came as a surprise for residents, both pleasant and gloomy, depending on where they live.

Many fans, especially those who live in eastern and southern Ottawa, would welcome the chance to take in a Sens game without facing a long and timeconsuming commute to â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as Ottawa-West Nepean MP and Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Foreign Minister John Baird puts it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;the middle of nowhere.â&#x20AC;?

About 101,000 people, roughly one in 10 Ottawa residents live in â&#x20AC;&#x153;the middle of nowhereâ&#x20AC;? according to the latest figures available from the 2011 Statistics Canada census.

Using our handy map of the city, we discovered the other residents of nowhere land include West Carleton (21,500) and Barrhaven and Nepean (156,000) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which strangely enough includes many of Bairdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s constituents.

People who live in the Ottawa Valley, including Arnprior, Renfrew and Carleton Place, probably

arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even on Minister Bairdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s radar, but for the sake of argument weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll include them within the boundaries of â&#x20AC;&#x153;nowhere.â&#x20AC;?

We shudder to consider Minister Bairdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future ability to argue for any significant investment in the west end of Ottawa â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who wants to invest in a place going â&#x20AC;&#x153;nowhere.â&#x20AC;?

The Ottawa Senators already draw a pretty good crowd to the middle of nowhereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arena â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 18,399 fans on average per game â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but maybe the team can increase attendance at LeBreton Flats.

The move would hit the pocketbooks of a host of west-end businesses, such as restaurants and hotels that depend on the crowds generated by the Senators, not to mention the concerts and other events hosted throughout the year at the arena.

But bottom line, Eugene Melnyk owns the team.

If heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s willing to spend a half-a-billion dollars to build a new arena, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his right â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just so long as he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect to draw on taxpayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; money.

And without the public purse, moving the team is an argument that goes nowhere.

COLUMN

Pondering a dream for LeBreton, again

I

t might be more wishful thinking than anything, but reports that the Ottawa Senators were considering moving to LeBreton Flats have stirred considerable interest, as well as stimulated a healthy debate over what could and should be done with that space.

There is a distinct possibility that this is all a pipe dream: the Senators have a perfectly good building out in Kanata; second, the National Capital Commission, which has been guarding LeBreton from development for more than half a century, might not look kindly on the idea.

You might remember that there was brief discussion about locating a baseball stadium in the Flats when talks about Triple-A baseball began in the early 1990s. The NCC sniffily

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town said no. No activity with the taint of commercialism would be suitable, thank you very much.

Mind you, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite a different NCC now. All and sundry have been invited to submit proposals, commercial or not, for development of the Flats. So the idea might have a bit more traction than it had 20 years ago. The advantages of an arena at LeBreton are as obvious as the disadvantages of the current location, where traffic on game nights

is a problem and there is nothing to do after the game but get in the car and contribute to the traffic. The LeBreton location is central, walking distance from Parliament Hill, more or less, and will be extremely well served by public transit.

More important, if LeBreton is developed intelligently â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a big if â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an arena there might be surrounded by restaurants, bars and cafes that would provide something to do before and after the game. The importance of that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be overstated. You could argue that one of the causes of the demise of the Montreal Expos was the fact that their stadium was located in a commercial dead zone.

Many professional sports teams in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s built their arenas and stadiums in the suburbs where land was cheap and parking was ample. For a lot of them, the experiment didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work and they moved back downtown.

Some teams, such as the Toronto Blue Jays, wisely resisted the urge to move to the suburbs. Now, the Rogers Centre, formerly SkyDome, has helped bring vitality to a downtown neighbourhood. Imagine Toronto getting something right.

Is it a dream to ponder such an outcome for Ottawa? Perhaps not. But even if downtown hockey does not materialize, the principle of having major attractions surrounded by bars, restaurants and stores is still worth pursuing.

Another museum would help, as was argued here recently. A professional sports facility would help

even more, but with some provisos.

It would have to be capable of other uses, for one thing. And then there is the age-old question of who would pay for it. The idea of taxpayers funding new sports facilities has gone out of style, and rightly so. So, now what?

Have a festive frugal Christmas

A

few months ago I met with a financial planner to create a better savings regime for my kids’ education and my own retirement. The first step was to lay out all our income and spending, including obvious things like mortgage payments and household bills, but also less evident line items like personal care, groceries and gifts.

I’ll be honest with you, I’ve been tracking our spending for two years, so I know, down to the penny, what I spend in each category. Overall, the financial planner was impressed with our frugal grocery budget, clothing and household bills.

But when she got to my gift budget, she may have taken a sharp intake of breath. I don’t know. I wasn’t there. But I did get a phone call a while later.

“Congratulations, Brynna,” she said. “You win a prize.”

“For what?”

“Of all the clients I’ve had in nearly 30 years, you have the highest gift budget I’ve ever seen,” she said.

“As a percentage?”

“No. You have the highest gift budget I’ve ever seen.”

“That’s because I’m the only one of your clients to offer you an honest assessment,” I said.

The gift budget includes any money spent on special occasions – birthday parties, anniversary trips, etc.

But we don’t go all out at birthdays. We stay home and eat homemade cake, so I don’t get it. My pre-school-aged daughter, who happens to be born in the summer when we’re usually camping, was feted this year with a pancake, two candles and a sheet of stickers from the camp store.

As I’ve noted in this column before, I don’t even like shopping. Malls make me dizzy. Spending money makes my pocketbook and my head hurt. Not to mention I make gifts and frequently cut people

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse from my buying list. And yet, there it was, the fact that I apparently overspend – big time – and outspend everyone my financial planner has ever known on gifts and occasions.

Starting with Christmas, we have to cut back. As it turns out, I’m not the only one cutting back this year.

The average Canadian will spend considerably less on everything from décor to entertaining in December compared to 2013, according to the Bank of Montreal’s holiday spending outlook. Last year, individuals spent $1,810 on gifts, entertainment and travel. This year, that number is expected to fall to $1,517, with Canadians spending 19

per cent less on gifts, and 25 per cent less on entertaining than they did last year.

The only number that remains stable, according to the report released in November, is holiday travel. On average, Canadians will spend $700 per person on travel over the Christmas vacation. The cut in spending is good news for Canadian households, which are mired in debt. The ratio of credit debt to disposable income, often used as an indicator of burden on households, rose to 163.6 per cent in the second quarter this year, an increase of more than a percentage point over the first part of the year, and continues to rise. Christmas is frequently

a time when people rack up credit card debt, paying off holiday tabs well into the following year.

Indeed, respondents to the Bank of Montreal report cited cutting costs as the number one reason for the decrease in their projected spending over the holidays.

If you’re looking to save money this year, as we are, I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve, especially when buying for your own kids. First, don’t blow the budget on toddlers. Children under three won’t know the difference

between a giant dollhouse and an old refrigerator box.

As the youngest of three, my daughter has tons of toys. Her favourite? Pots and pans and measuring cups, straight out of the kitchen drawer. We’ve budgeted about $25 for her this year.

For clothing, sports equipment or musical instruments, see what kind of deals you can get on secondhand goods.

You can save more than 50 per cent when you purchase used goods. Buying gifts for people outside of the family? Take advantage of buy-one, get-one deals, single-day online deals and free shipping for parcels abroad. Finally, get creative.

For years, my neighbour, now retired, held a top job in the R0562496643

government.

Every year she took a craft course. One year it was stained glass; another year flower arranging; another time, it was jewellery making.

She’d use the course to make gifts for her entire team and even some family members, too.

Christmas shouldn’t be a time when our debt grows ever higher. Gifts are meant to be a token of love and affection, not an affliction. If you’re like most Canadians, you already finished your holiday shopping in November anyway.

That means you can spend the next few weeks enjoying the true spirit of Christmas without spending a penny.

Senators move would not be a death blow for Kanata: Hubley Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

The Ottawa Senators interest in moving the team’s arena to LeBreton Flats has Kanata politicians and business leaders hoping for the best but preparing for the worst.

Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley has already called on the West Ottawa Board of Trade and the city’s economic development manager to undertake “some high-level analysis on what the impacts would be and what some of the options are” to reduce the blow to Kanata’s business community.

Any move to LeBreton Flats, which is National Capital Commission land, would take 10 years or more, said Hubley and that could happen only if the Senators decide to put forth a proposal to the National Capital Commission by Jan. 7, and the Crown corporation judges it to be the best choice.

“This will be a very long process,” said Hubley. “(The Sens) are not moving out next year. It would probably be a 10- or 15-year planning cycle.”

With the existing arena useable for another 20 to 30 years, a lot of the Sens’ money is tied up in the facility and could not be easily repurposed, said Kanata North Coun.

Marianne Wilkinson.

“I was told months ago they are looking at all sorts of things and they like to look ahead,” she said, adding she is not privy to any recent discussions about a developer approaching the hockey club about a LeBreton plan.

Kanata North Business Improvement Area executive director Jenna Sudds said the impact of the Senators leaving Kanata would be huge.

“The number of small businesses in the vicinity that live and breathe by events at the (Canadian Tire Centre), it would result in many local businesses closing their doors, which would have a massive ef-

fect on the entire community,” she said.

Rosemary Leu, executive director of the West Ottawa Board of Trade which operates in Kanata, Goulbourn and West Carleton, said the community should focus on supporting the team as best they can to keep a move from happening.

“You can look at the first line businesses that would certainly see an impact,” she said. “As for the bars and the restaurants that are all full on game night in this part of town, would that change? I don’t know, but at this point we are going to focus on doing whatever we can to support our team and keep them here in our community. Whatever the board of trade can do to encourage the community to support the team, we will certainly do that.”

The push for the creation of other businesses around the Canadian Tire Centre has not gone well, she said, with plans for a casino falling through in 2013. That the city’s plan for a light rail transit system leaves the city’s west end until last likely didn’t help matters either, said Leu. “Mr. Melnyk has been very vocal about needing other sources of revenue around the team and I understand that and it’s been unfortunate that every step that they have tried to put forward I think has fallen through,” she said.

MOVING REQUIREMENTS

Any decision to move the Senators to LeBreton Flats would depend on the NCC approval.

The hockey club has confirmed they are actively considering making a proposal, having been approached “by numerous well established private sector companies and community organizations who have expressed a strong desire to partner with us on developing a world-class proposal for the site,” said a statement by Senators Sports

News that the Ottawa Senators are contemplating a move from Kanata to LeBreton Flats has some Kanata residents worrying about the affect on area businesses. and Entertainment.

The NCC plans to look for a proposal that will “serve as an economic driver, feature innovative use of the land and bring design excellence, animation and a unique public experience to the nation’s capital.”

The anchor institution would not have to be a public one, said Mark Kristmanson, chief executive officer of the NCC in May. Hubley said Kanata will be prepared to bolster its economy and keep businesses running, perhaps with a new opportunity to develop the land around the Canadian Tire Centre.

“While it would be a great loss to lose our team emotionally, economically I think, with 10 years, we should be able to plan on that,” he said. “Kanata will live on. Ru-

mours of our death are greatly exaggerated.”

As for whether or not the Sens arena currently rests in “the middle of nowhere,” as suggested by Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird who oversees the NCC – “Nowhere is in Oklahoma, I looked it up,” said Hubley.

He added he had already contacted the minister about the quote, saying he hoped it was taken out of context as Kanata continues to be one of the fastest growing communities in the city.

Wilkinson said that, if the Sens did decide to move, she would not stand in their way, but that she would not support the city investing any money in a new facility.

“If the city did that, they would be taking and putting funding into one area of the city and being very

destructive to many businesses in another part of the city” she said.

If the city paid the Sens to move, the businesses in Kanata that stand to lose out could have grounds to sue the city, Wilkinson said.

Mayor Jim Watson also said he wouldn’t be willing to give the club money to build a new arena.

The Sens have some of their own requirements for making a move as well: “We feel very strongly that this could only be possible with strong community support,” said the club’s statement.

Michael Powell, president of the Dalhousie Community Association just south of LeBreton Flats, said he wants to keep an open mind about what ideas could come out in the NCC’s call for proposals.

One of Canada’s largest 12and-under hockey tournaments is preparing to welcome 260 hockey teams from as far as Hong Kong to Ottawa on Dec. 29.

The Bell Capital Cup, a 16year-old Ottawa tradition, offers hockey players from minor atom to peewee age groups (12 to 8 years old) from around the world a chance to compete in one of Canada’s hockey capitals.

The tournament began as an economic booster for the city, began by then mayor Bob Chiarelli and Cyril Leeder, president of Senators Sports and Entertainment. The 2005 cup brought in about $11.1 million in economic activity to the province and $7.7 million in Ottawa according to the Canadian Sport Tourism Alliance.

One of the first large-scale minor hockey tournaments in the world when it began, the tournament hit its peak number of teams in 2007 with 510 in attendance, said the tournament’s general manager Scott Lawryk.

Now, with more hockey tournaments to compete with, the tournament draws several hundred teams a year from North America and elsewhere in the

world, he said.

Though the tournament is not quite as big as it was, the goal is the same, said Lawryk: to provide a great experience for young hockey players in Canada’s capital, and encourage the growth of hockey everywhere.

Much of the drive behind that goal comes from the organizers of the event – most of them former hockey players.

“We all remember playing hockey as kids and how much fun that game was,” said Lawryk.

“You sit back and you remember playing the game and the six a.m. practices, but you might not remember the people behind the scenes, and now that a lot of the people that are involved in the committee are grown up, they now realize how much work is done behind the scenes to make that happen and how much people did for them.

“So that’s really what it is, it’s kind of the whole pay it forward deal. You want to put in the time and effort to make sure that it’s a first-class event for everyone to take part in.”

Seeing how hockey is growing in various places around the world is one of the advantages to having an international minor hockey tournament.

This year, the competition will

see two teams from Finland and one from Hong Kong take part, with the rest coming from the United States and Canada.

While Lawryk said he likes to believe the Bell Capital Cup helps with the growth of hockey in places like Hong Kong, he said he sees a team’s willingness to travel so far to play hockey in Canada as a demonstration of their commitment to the game.

The cup has been young hockey players’ first introduction with North American-style hockey for many years, with several NHL alumni to speak of, including Colorado Avalanche left winger Gabriel Landeskog of Sweden.

“Hockey is hockey,” said Lawryk, “but depending on where you come from you might end up with different styles, and (the Bell Capital Cup) was his first real experience with North American hockey and he was kind of catapulted into the NHL.” The tournament also gives hockey players from warmer climates a chance to skate outdoors in a real winter city, and even on the canal at times, though that has been hit-and-miss, said Lawryk.

“We always hold out hope that (the canal) will be ready,” he said. “This is my fourth year run-

ning the event, and the weather just never seems to co-operate,” at least not for the start of the tournament, though some teams put blades to ice just as the canal opens for the season in the last few days of the cup.

The tournament, which is held from Dec. 29 to Jan. 2, will take place on 22 ice pads and 11 facilities across the city, including the Canadian Tire Centre.

Attendance to the games is free, said Lawryk, who encouraged anyone interested in seeing some young international talent to come out and watch.

With a tournament this large, the event remains a citywide effort, he said.

“You can’t run a tournament this size without the local community, and really it’s the volunteers that drive this event,” said Lawryk.

“Those are the people that are putting in the extra time over the holidays and what not and showing up first thing in the morning to help run facilities and making sure that these teams that are coming in really have a high opinion of not only the event but the city when they leave, so hopefully it leads to them coming back in future years.”

Active thinking leads to better grades All students are active thinkers by nature, but not all students know how to think actively when it comes to classroom learning or at-home study-

ing. According to Oxford Learning’s CEO and founder, Dr. Nick Whitehead, this is because, like many other school skills (such as studying, orga-

nization, and focus) active thinking is a skill that students need to be shown how to use.

“Active learning is not a skill re-

stricted to the classroom. Children (and adults, too) should always be thinking about the world around them. In fact, the more that children develop this skill outside the classroom, the more they are able to apply it in class.”

Dr. Whitehead says that parents can encourage active thinking by prompt-

ing conversations about learning and by asking the right questions. Instead of asking, “how was school?”, more specific questions such as “how was math class?” or “what concepts did you learn today?” are more helpful.

New learning centre approved for University of Ottawa Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

The University of Ottawa will invest in a new multimillion dollar student facility for its downtown campus.

The university announced the approval of the new Learning Centre building at a cost of $83 million on Dec. 9.

The new centre will be located at the centre of the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campus, steps away

from the future University of Ottawa light rail transit stop.

The six-storey building will feature 26 classrooms and 800 study and work spaces which will be available for use by students around-theclock.

There will also be a convivial gathering place and a food court which will seat 350 people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Learning Centre will become the new place where students congregate on cam-

Blaze rips through new Barrhaven Heart & Crown Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

A fire tore through the yet-to-open Heart & Crown in Barrhaven on the evening of Dec. 5,

causing about $50,000 in damage and delaying the bar’s opening, the Ottawa fire department said.

fire just after 7 p.m., according to the fire department.

The fire was doused by the building’s sprinkler system and mainly extinguished by the time firefighters arrived, but still managed to damage a lot of the bar’s new furniture that had been specially hand crafted in Ireland.

“It shouldn’t have happened, but unfortunately it did,” said Alex Munro, the vice-president of Heart & Crow, who blamed human error for the fire.

“It’s a pain. We would wish for this not to happen, but we’re happy with the fact that no one got hurt and that’s what’s important.”

The bar’s new Strandherd Drive location was set to open in mid-December,.

It will now be forced to push its start back to late December or early January, Munro said.

The fire department estimated the damage at $50,000, but Munro could not confirm the final value as he had not been able to access the property as of Monday, Dec. 8.

While he was disappointed by the setback, Munro said he expected the fire would be a minor hitch for the bar.

“In 10 years, I’m sure the two or three-week delay will be long forgotten,” he said.

O Come All Ye Faithful

John Francis Wade (English) O come, all ye faithful, Joyful and triumphant, O come ye, O come ye, to Bethlehem Come and behold Him Born, the King of Angels; O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.

Sing, choirs of angels Sing in exultation, Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above “Glory to God In the highest”; O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.

Hark The Herald Angels Sing Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy William Hayman Cummings Charles Wesley

@BarrhavenJan @BarrhavenJan

Hark the herald angels sing, “Glory to the new-born King,” Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled!”

Joyful, all ye nations, rise, Join the triumph of the skies, With the angelic host, proclaim, “Christ is born in Bethlehem.”

(Refrain) Hark, the herald angels sing, “Glory to the new-born King.”

Christ, by highest heaven adored, Christ, the everlasting Lord, Late in time behold Him Come, Offspring of a virgin’s womb, Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;

Hail, the heaven born Prince of peace!

Hail, the Son o Righteousness!

Light and life to all He brings, Risen with healing in His wings, Mild He lays His glory by Born that man no more may die, Born to raise the sons of earth, Born to give them second birth.

We Wish You A Merry Christmas English

We wish you a merry Christmas, We wish you a merry Christmas, We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

(Refrain) Good tidings we bring to you and your kin; We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

O Little Town Of Bethlehem Phillips Brooks 19th Century Lewis H. Redner 19th Century

O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie!

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in the dark streets shineth The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight.

For Christ is born of Mary; And gathering all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love.

O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth, And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth.

How silently how silently, The wonderous gift is given!

So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heaven.

No ear may hear His coming; But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him, still The dear Christ enters in.

O Holy Child of Bethlehem, Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin, and enter in; Be born in us today.

We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel.

Joy To The World Isaac Watts 1719 Lowell Mason 1839 George Fredrick Handel

Joy to the world! The Lord is come Let earth receive her King!

Let every heart prepare Him room And heaven and nature sing And heaven and nature sing And heaven, and heaven and nature sing Joy to the world! the Savior reigns Let men their songs employ While fields and floods Rocks, hills and plains Repeat the sounding joy Repeat the sounding joy Repeat, repeat the sounding joy No more let sins and sorrows grow Nor thorns infest the ground He comes to make His blessings flow Far as the curse is found Far as the curse is found Far as, far as the curse is found He rules the world with truth and grace And makes the nations prove The glories of His righteousness And wonders of His love And wonders of His love And wonders and wonders of His love

Jingle Bells James Pierpont

Dashing thro’ the snow In a one horse open sleigh, O’er the fields we go, Laughing all the way; Bells on bob-tail ring, Making spirits bright, What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight!

(Refrain) Jingle bells, Jingle bells!

Jingle all the way!

O what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh!

A day or two ago I thought I’d take a ride, And soon Miss Fannie Bright Was seated by my side; The horse was lean and lank, Misfortune seem’d his lot He got into a drifted bank, And we, we got up-sot.

Now the ground is white, Go it while you’re young, Take the girls tonight, And sing the sleighing song.

Just get a bob-tailed nag, Two forty for his speed, Then hitch him to an open sleigh, And crack! you’ll take the lead.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Had a very shiny nose And if you ever saw it you would even say it glows.

All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names, They never let poor Rudolph Join in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas eve Santa came to say: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rudolph with your nose so bright Wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you drive my sleight tonight?â&#x20AC;?

Then now the reindeer loved him As they shouted out with glee â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go down in history.â&#x20AC;?

It Came Upon The Midnight Clear Arthur Seymour Sullivan Edmund Hamilton Sears

It came upon a midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth To touch their harps of gold:â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peace on earth, goodwill to men, From heavenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-gracious King!â&#x20AC;?

The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels sing.

Still through the cloven skies they come With peaceful wings unfurled: And still their heavenly music floats Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;er all the weary world; Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hovering wing.

And ever oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;er its Babel Sounds The blessed angels sing.

And ye, beneath lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crushing load, Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way With painful steps and slow, Look now! for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing; O rest beside the weary road, and hear the angels sing.

For lo, the days are hastening on, By prophet bards foretold, When with the ever circling years Comes round the age of gold; When peace shall over all the earth Its ancient splendors fling, And the whole world give back the song Which now the angels sing.

William James Kirkpatrick Stanley L. Osborne

Away in a manger, No crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus Laid down His sweet head.

The stars in the bright sky Look down where He lay, The little Lord Jesus Asleep on the hay.

The cattle are lowing The Baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus No crying He makes.

I love Thee, Lord Jesus; Look down from the sky, And stay by my side Until morning is nigh.

Week in Review I would like to wish all the families in Kanata South a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah and a very Happy Holiday season!

Thank You! Thank you to all the residents who came out this week to enjoy the Christmas lights on my annual wagon rides. Once again this year I enjoyed visiting with many of you at this great community event.

I would like to thank the volunteers who helped out with this event including Melanie Lefebvre from the Bridlewood Community Association, and Rod McLean, President of the Katimavik Hazeldean Community Association, for their help and input in establishing the wagon ride routes. I would also like to thank the 1st Glen Cairn Scout group for their assistance handing out hot chocolate and cookies this year.

Last but not least, thank you to the Bridlewood Community Association, Chartwell Empress Kanata and Laura’s Your Independent Grocer, for helping to sponsor hot chocolate and treats for these great community events.

OC Transpo Updates: I have been working closely with OC Transpo to address concerns that have been raised regarding the service to Kanata South. I wanted to take the opportunity to share with you the upcoming improvements that will be implemented in 2015. Many thanks to the all the residents that wrote in with their feedback. I appreciate your continued patience while we work out these solutions with OC Transpo.

Improved reliability on Route 61, 62 & 66 – Some afternoon trips on Route 61, 62 & 66 have been running early through downtown. This has resulted in longer wait times for customers who expect the buses to come at the published time. To address this issue, Supervisors are now holding these trips back at Hurdman Station so that the trips leave a few minutes late, but will be on time as they serve the stops in the downtown area.

I will be continuing to work with Transit Services on upcoming enhancements that will better serve the Kanata South area.

Working for Kanata South: It is my privilege to serve as your Councillor. Please feel free to contact my office with any concerns or comments, by phone: 613580-2752, or by email: Allan.Hubley@ottawa.ca. You can visit my website for more information: www.councillorallanhubley.ca or follow me on Twitter: @AllanHubley_23.

Students receive gift of hockey at Melnyk Skate for Kids Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

More than 100 students from two schools in Carlingwood and Cardinal Heights received

the gift of hockey at the Canadian Tire Centre on Dec. 15.

Gathering for the 11th-annual Eugene Melnyk Skate for Kids, students from Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School in R0013055781

Increased capacity on Route 66 – After further investigation, OC Transpo has determined that ridership in the afternoon peak period is approximately 20 percent higher than before the summer, which has resulted in overcrowding. Beginning last week and continuing through this week, one additional trip is operating to Kanata in the afternoon peak period, departing from Hurdman Station at 16:20. Beginning on January 5, additional capacity will be provided to Route 66, by converting the trip which leaves from Hurdman Station at 17:11 to operate with a double-decker bus rather than a standard 40-foot bus. Please note that the additional capacity will not be provided during the Christmas and New Year’s period from December 22, 2014 to January 2, 2015.

Carlingwood and Carson Grove Elementary School in Cardinal Heights received a free pair of skates, a helmet and a Senators jersey before taking to the ice with Santa Claus and Spartacat.

Melnyk, the owner of the Senators NHL team, spends more than $100,000 a year on the event, said Senators Sports and Entertainment’s director of fan and community development, Aaron Robinson.

The reward is well worth it, said Melnyk in a news release.

“It has become a wonderful annual tradition for me and my two daughters to officially begin the Christmas holidays,” said Melnyk. “It is the season of giving and these children give me great joy with their priceless smiles. It is truly one of the most memorable days of the year for me and my family.”

It was also a thrill for students, said Grade 5 and 6 French immersion teacher at Our Lady of Fatima, Frances Quigley.

“It’s a great thing for kids, especially those who don’t skate normally; it’s a great gift for them,” she said.

Though the school takes their students out to a nearby rink, that’s sometimes the most the students get to try skating.

“A lot of (students), we provide them with the skates and helmet every time they go skating, so after school they don’t get to continue skating because they don’t have their own equipment,” said Quigley. “Now, hopefully, besides skating here and at school, they will do it on their own.”

Though 99 per cent of her students are already Senators fans, Quigley said there will likely be a few more by the end of the event.

Ivanie Blondin a Canadian leader on world cup circuit Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

Ivanie Blondin, an Orléans-raised speed skater, has had a strong start on the 2014-15 world cup circuit.

Since winning her first gold medal in a mass start event in November, the 24year-old skater has continued her successful season.

In a world cup race in Berlin on Dec. 5, Blondin finished in the top 10 of the 3,000-metre event with a seventh-place finish. That’s her best ever finish in the 3,000-metre event in her 13 world cup appearances.

“I’m not super pleased with the race today,” Blondin said in a Speed Skating Canada press release following the 3,000 metre. “But being hard on myself is one of the main reasons why I am competing with the top skaters. Like my coach Mark Wild said in a message to me (from Calgary) after my race, ‘expect your best

performance out of yourself each race.’ ” Two days later, she won her fourth world cup medal of the season in the mass start event. She won a silver medal, which rounds out her collection. Blondin already has a gold and bronze medal in the mass start event from world cup events this year.

She was edged out of the gold medal spot by Netherlands’ skater Irene Schouten in the mass start in Berlin.

“I’m kicking myself in the head a little bit about the last turn. I should have stayed tight,” said Blondin in the release.

“But I’m always happy with a medal no matter what colour it is. It would have been nice if it was gold, but silver is always good too. I’m bringing another one home for Canada!”

She was scheduled to compete at her fourth world cup of the season from Dec. 12 to 14 in Heerenveen, Netherlands.

City Councillor, Kanata North THE CHRISTMAS SEASON The holiday season is fast approaching.

Ivanie Blondin with her gold medal alongside her coach, Mark Wild. Blondin, who hails from Orléans, won her first-ever individual gold medal at a world cup event on Jan. 16.

The changes in committee responsibilities that I have taken on during this term of Council mean I will no longer be serving as Chair of Ottawa Community Housing (OCH). At their board meeting last week, I was presented with a lovely floral arrangement and thanked for my support in providing good housing to those in need. I will continue to support the work that OCH does to increase and improve the housing they provide for their 32,000 residents.

One of my last actions for the board was to see City Council approve a report to exempt OCH from property taxes. This is a tax neutral item for the City, as the $21 million normally paid in taxes will be deducted from funding provided by the City. The $3 million previously collected by the City on behalf of the province for education will stay with OCH for maintenance of the housing portfolio. This will not impact funds sent to local school boards in Ottawa but will make a big difference in decreasing the backlog of maintenance on OCH’s aging housing stock.

CANADIAN TIRE CENTRE There has been a lot of speculation lately about the possibility of the Ottawa Senators’ rink moving downtown to LeBreton Flats. In September, the NCC put out a request for proposals to develop lands in LeBreton Flats south of the Parkway and west of Booth Street.

Submissions are due on January 7th. The Senators told me they are exploring making a submission to the NCC, but no final decision has yet been made. Major arenas usually are upgraded or replaced when they are 35-40 years old (the Canadian Tire Centre is 19 years old). The Senators had not planned action on that for some time, but the NCC proposal has provided an opportunity that they may wish to pursue.

I am not one to tell a business where to locate – that is their decision – but I am concerned about the impact on existing Kanata businesses, particularly restaurants and hotels. So, if a decision is made to relocate the arena, before any move takes place, there needs to be a plan that could benefit the community for use and development of the 76 acres owned by the Senators.

I have also told them that I don’t support using City money for construction or relocation of a privately owned facility. That applies to any business - not just the Senators.

KITCHEN FIRE DANGER Luckily last week two construction workers saw smoke coming from a townhouse, entered the residence and woke a man who was sleeping in the basement. All three were treated for smoke inhalation. The fire had started in the kitchen where cooking had been left unattended.

And there were no working smoke alarms in the home! The fire department said that if it had not been for those workers, there likely would have been a fatality.

Road to victory The Kanata Gladiators won the 10th-annual holiday house league peewee B tournament at the Bell Sensplex on Dec. 7, beating a Toronto team 2-1 in the finals.

Cooking fires are the number one cause of home fires, so never leave your kitchen if you are cooking. And make certain you have a working smoke alarm on each floor of your home.

In partnership with

Kanata Seniors’ Centre advocate recognized by city Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

Owen Prince, a 25-year resident of Kanata, was recognized by the city of Ottawa with a plaque unveiling on Dec. 11 in recognition of his service to the community.

Prince spent 17 of those 25 years working to convince the former city of Kanata that the community needed a seniors’ centre, the creation of which was perhaps the biggest reason for the plaque.

“It’s not often you get a politician to say nice things about you when you push,” said Prince with a laugh after an introduction from Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson.

The plaque, which commemorates Prince’s community service, especially when it comes to the seniors’ centre, will be unveiled again at an official ceremony at a later date to rename the seniors’ centre’s program room the Owen Prince Room.

“That’s where we hold all of our discussions, and I’ve been discussing things for so many years, it’s very fitting I think,” said Prince during the seniors’ centre’s Christmas celebration on Dec. 11.

During the plaque unveiling, Prince gave a short speech explaining what it took to create the Kanata Seniors’ Centre, one of just four city-owned seniors’ centres in Ottawa, said Wilkinson.

After years of lobbying Kanata city councillors to create a seniors’ centre, Prince and a group of seniors got the go-ahead. The

But, with several very successful events, including a roast of the mayor, the group managed to raise $240,000.

Prince went on to be the driving force behind creating the Kanata Seniors’ Council and also established a choral group called the Sounds of Music.

But the difficulties with the city didn’t end there. After the seniors’ centre’s kitchen facility was outfitted with $60,000 worth of equipment, the city of Ottawa questioned whether or not that was too much for the seniors.

“I guess they thought a bunch of old farts couldn’t handle it,” said Prince, with a laugh from the crowd. The council soon put the city straight, he said.

Wilkinson described Prince as a fixture of the Kanata Seniors’ Centre without whom the centre might not exist.

“His dedication, hard work and perseverance was instrumental in the successful building of the centre,” she said.

Prince revealed the secret to his success, saying some people are just too nice.

“I never had that problem,” he said with a laugh.

Public school board taps Steenbakkers’ replacement Alex Robinson alex.robinson@metroland.com

One of the most unusual Ottawa Catholic School Board elections has come to an end, a bit more than a month after the final votes were counted.

The board has appointed Spencer Warren to replace Andrea Steenbakkers, who was elected as Barrhaven’s trustee in Zone 4 in October despite having dropped out of the race.

“This is actually a humbling way of doing it because now I’ve earned the spot now by doing the interview process and an election process,” Warren told the Nepean-Barrhaven News.

“It was probably harder to get this than to run for city council.”

Steenbakkers won the election with 38 per cent of the vote, after she pleaded with voters not to cast their ballots for her.

Stating “personal reasons”, she decided to pull the plug on her campaign less than four weeks before the election and could not get her name struck from the ballot, as the deadline to drop out was Sept. 12.

She returned donations, removed lawn signs, and asked voters to choose someone else.

When she won, Steenbakkers said she was touched, but would not be joining the board.

“Public trust is difficult to gain and should never be taken for granted or casually dismissed,” she said in a statement following the election.

“Moreover, I was elected with the public knowing that I was unable to offer the quality of

Warren came in second place with 33 per cent of the vote and Gregory Deernsted took 29 per cent.

“I still consider the votes to count, because the people who voted for Andrea didn’t do their research and they should all be treated as spoiled votes,” Warren said.

The election results presented a unique situation for the board, which decided to appoint a trustee to fill Steenbakkers’ vacancy rather than hold a byelection, which could have cost $350,000.

Chairwoman Elaine McMahon said the two remaining candidates also favoured going through the appointment process rather than another election.

“This way respected the electorate and at the same time gave us a chance to hear both candidates speak,” she said.

The appointment process included each candidate getting a 20-minute interview at a special board meeting on Dec. 11. The board then voted on who would be appointed.

Warren is a long-time community volunteer and fundraiser for CHEO, who founded the hospital’s annual charity golf tournament.

“We are pleased to have Spencer Warren join the Board and look forward to working with him,” McMahon said.

“He brings a wealth of experience to the Board with a strong background in community participation and involvement in our schools.”

Two men charged after Merivale Road crash Alex Robinson alex.robinson@metroland.com

Charges have been laid against two Ottawa drivers who collided with each other in an early morning crash that sent two people to the hospital on Merivale Road Oct. 24, police said.

Police booked a 25-yearold man, and a 42-year-old man, separately on Dec. 8 and 9, with criminal negligence causing bodily harm and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.

The two were driving south on Merivale Road beside each other in separate vehicles at around 2:40 am on Oct. 24, when the 25year-old man lost control near Colonnade Road, police said. The two vehicles then collided, before one car veered into a bridge pillar.

The younger man had a passenger in his car at the time. Both were hospitalized with injuries and later released.

The older man fled be-

fore authorities arrived on scene and was additionally charged with failure to stop at the scene of an accident, according to police.

Authorities said they first thought there was only one car in the crash, but discovered through their investigation that a second car was also involved.

Police said speed and alcohol were a factor in both cases.

Second-term councillors take on leadership roles Committee chairs named for the new term LIBRARY BOARD

laura.mueller@metroland.com

City council approved the members and leaders for its committees and boards during its Dec. 10 meeting. Several committees, commissions and boards saw turnover in their leadership positions based on the advice of Mayor Jim Watson and the nominating committee.

TRANSIT COMMISSION

Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais said he’s looking forward to tackling one of the most challenging city bodies, the transit commission, as its new chairman.

Blais will preside over the commission, which includes both city councillors and citizen commissioners for four of the most pivotal years for OC Transpo as construction of the light-rail system wraps up and the trains being running in 2018.

But there will be a lot of hurdles to jump before getting there, such as remapping the bus routes to feed into the new LRT system and overseeing construction detours, and Blais said he is up to the challenge.

The role came about because the mayor sought him out for it, Blais said.

“It’s obviously a very challenging role,” he said. “OC Transpo has a direct and immediate impact on the daily lives of almost every Ottawa resident, whether you take the bus or not.

“We’re at a very critical stage in the evolution of our transit system as we begin the process to move towards light rail and the Transitway conversion coming up next year, so there are a lot of challenges, but at the same time a lot of opportunities to demonstrate how good OC Transpo is and that we really do have a worldclass system.”

Blais said he has taken transit regularly over the course of his first term on city council and he intends to do so more often now that he is the chairman, including “transit field trips” around the city with the vice-chairman, GloucesterSouth Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish.

Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun.

Tim Tierney said it will be a privilege to oversee the library board during a period of “dramatic change.”

Tierney, who has sat on the board for four years, was officially named as its new chairman on Dec. 10.

The next four years has been set up as a pivotal time for the Ottawa Public Library as it intends to embark on a plan to create a new central branch.

“Obviously a central library is a big part of the focus, as a (public-private partnership), so being able to play a part in that is very important,” Tierney said. “Libraries are changing. It’s not just the Dewey decimal system and books, which we still respect, but we have a whole new series of technology programs.”

For instance, there is a sixmonth waitlist to use the public library’s 3D printer located in the makerspace at the Centrepointe branch, Tierney said.

Making the library more about creating “spaces and places” and offering programming and access to technology will be a focus moving forward, he said.

Tierney will also serve as vice-chairman of the planning committee, one of the more controversial and important committees.

Tierney said that as an urban councillor, he felt it was important to ensure councillors from within the Greenbelt were well-represented on that committee.

“I have a lot of these infill issues and I think I can bring a new perspective to the table,” he said.

ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE

Capital Coun. David Chernushenko was told he was always a natural fit to lead the environment committee. Now in his second term as a city councillor, he is ready to take on that role.

Stephen Blais this term. nushenko is well-known for his knowledge of an advocacy on environmental issues. He also served on the International Olympic Committee’s commission on sport and the environment and is certified as a green building professional by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification program.

As a first-term councillor elected in 2010, Chernushenko said it wasn’t the right time for him to take on that leadership role, but with former River Ward councillor Maria McRae leaving politics, the position was open and presented an opportunity for him in this term.

Taking on issues such as the green bin program, the city’s maligned organics recycling contract with Orgaworld and Plasco’s proposed waste-toenergy facility will be on the agenda for the environment committee this term.

Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun.

Tobi Nussbaum is the only rookie councillor appointed to lead a subcommittee or committee. the city approaches protection of heritage conservation districts,” he said.

Nussbaum said he will begin to identify priorities for the subcommittee as he meets with citizens and councillors who were members of the group in the last term of council, as well as residents who have an interest in heritage issues.

Mathieu Fleury: chairman of the Ottawa Community Housing board • Innes Coun. Jody Mitic: sports commissioner • Knoxdale-Merivale Coun.

Keith Egli will continue as chairman of the transportation committee and West CarletonMarch Coun. Eli El-Chantiry will remain head of the police board

BUILT HERITAGE SUBCOMMITTEE

Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun.

Tobi Nussbaum was the only one of his newly elected cohort to be given a leadership role in the new city council structure. He will serve as the head of the built heritage subcommittee, which makes recommendations to the planning committee on heritage issues.

“Our ward is home to two heritage conservation districts, so it is an important issue for people in our ward,” Nussbaum said. “Even for people who don’t live in a heritage conservation district, I certainly heard at the door (during the election) an interest in ensuring that as a city, we are protecting and promoting heritage in appropriate ways.”

Nussbaum said he’ll ap-

proach his new role with a humble attitude and be open to learning more about heritage issues from the city’s experts and from the public.

“It’s clear as a new member of council that I will have to consult with lots of people who know more about heritage than I do,” he said. “I’m certainly aware that I need to do a lot of homework.”

Nussbaum said he has a “reasonable base” of knowledge on heritage matters, having supported the designation of the St. Charles Church in Vanier as a heritage structure while he was the chairman of the Beechwood Village Alliance.

Speaking to neighbours and friends who face challenges associated with living in a heritage conservation district has also opened his eyes to some of the key concerns, Nussbaum said.

“Particularly recent challenges those residents of heritage districts have felt in terms of feeling that there is a lack of clarity sometimes on how

The members of Kanata Theatre have been busy this fall getting ready to present their family-friendly holiday show, Fairy Tale Ending - The Big Bad Family Musical.

This fun, boppy musical features four favourite fairy tales: The Three Little Pigs, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, The Three Billy Goats Gruff and Little Red Riding Hood.

Each telling ends with a slight twist on the traditional tale, which leaves the main character, Jill (of Jack and Jill fame), scratching her head and has the audience saying, “Hey, that’s not quite right.”

With the help of many favourite

story book characters, Jill learns the reasons for these fractured fairy tales, and comes to understand an important lesson about real life.

Fairy Tale Ending will treat the whole family to much humour, some touching moments, and catchy tunes they will be humming long after the show.

This year, Kanata Theatre will be offering a special activity to our young viewers.

Before each performance they will be invited to join our members on stage for “story time”. Each fairy tale will be read aloud in an effort to connect the youngsters with the stories told later in the play. Being onstage will offer them a unique opportunity to look out into the audience.

As spots for this activity will be limited, participants should show up 30 minutes before the performance.

After enjoying the show, everyone will have an opportunity to meet the dynamic cast for autographs and pictures in the lobby. Haven’t you always wanted to have your picture taken with the Big Bad Wolf?

This delightful musical runs Dec. 27, 28, 29 and 30.

A show will be held on Dec. 27 and 28 at 1 and 4 p.m.; on Dec. 29 at 7 p.m., and on Dec. 30 at 1 p.m.

To purchase your $10 tickets, please call the Kanata Theatre box office at 613-843-4435 or buy online at www. kanatatheatre.com.

Stuff some stockings with tickets and bring the whole family.

Russell Road apartment fire forces out four tenants Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Two people had to be rescued from the balcony of their second-storey apartment on Russell Road after fire broke out in their kitchen early Sunday morning.

Four occupants of the six-storey complex at 1825 Russell Rd., including the two rescued tenants, were forced to find another place to stay after their units suffered extensive smoke and fire damage.

About 25 Ottawa firefighters from approximately four fire stations arrived on scene at 1:04

a.m. on Dec. 14 and reported seeing flames and thick smoke from outside the building.

“Fortunately (the tenants) were on the second floor so we were able to use a ground ladder to get them down,” said Ottawa fire spokesman Capt. Marc Messier.

The fire, which, along with heavy smoke, caused an estimated $50,000 in damages to the unit and $25,000 to the building, was brought under control at 1:13 a.m. An Ottawa Fire Service investigator ruled careless cooking as the

cause of the accidental fire.

Evacuated tenants were sheltered in OC Transpo buses, and the Red Cross and Salvation Army’s victim services team was called in to assist the four displaced tenants, two from the unit where the fire began and two from the above unit.

Two men and two women, all residents of the impacted units, were assessed at the scene by paramedics but declined to be transported to hospital for possible “slight” smoke inhalation,

said J. P. Trottier, Ottawa paramedic spokesman.

Another male tenant, 72, was taken to hospital with unrelated health problems.

“When we arrived at scene he was having chest pains so he was treated for a cardiac chest pains that we say is unrelated to the fire, meaning that it’s not smoke inhalation, it’s not burns,” Trottier said. “It is (related to the fire) in an indirect way, but he certainly had known cardiac problems.”

Senators bring holiday cheer to CHEO patients Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The entire Ottawa Senators team came bearing gifts – movies, an air hockey table – but left with so much more knowing they had brightened the day of dozens of young patients who are receiving treatment at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario.

“It puts things in perspective. We play a game for a living. We get to do a lot of things that a lot of people don’t, and sometimes you need to be reminded that there’s people who are out there struggling through things,” said right-winger Bobby Ryan, who joined his teammates in autographing hockey cards and having their photographs taken with the young fans and their parents during the team’s annual holiday visit to the hospital on Dec. 10.

“And if we can come and make them smile for an hour … it’s rewarding,” he said.

Avid hockey fans Evan Green-Sloan, 7, of Orléans, Blake Crawford, 5, of Webbwood, Ont. north of Sudbury, and two-year-old Nick Kautuk of Clyde River, Nunavut See PLAYERS, page 41

Players bring presents, sign autographs prompting smiles Now that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a professional hockey player, Ryan said the experience of young people coming up to him asking him for an autograph still blows him away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that ever sinks in,â&#x20AC;? he said.

About 15 years ago, Ryan approached NHL

player Kevin Dineen in a restaurant. The memory of that experience has stayed with Ryan, serving as a reminder that he too is now a role model to young fans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been more gracious,â&#x20AC;?

Ryan said of Dineen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He put a smile on my face. I want to be that guy for other kids.â&#x20AC;?

were among the many children and teens who were delighted to meet the pros. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got the Molson Cup,â&#x20AC;? No. 17 David Legwand, who plays centre for the Senators, quipped before signing a hockey card and handing it to Green-Sloan who brought a minor hockey trophy recently won by his team, the Blackburn Stingers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hanging in there? Missing school?â&#x20AC;? Legwand said with a smile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The outdoor rink will be ready when you get out there.â&#x20AC;?

This is Legwandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first year with the Senators and the visit marked his first time at CHEO with the team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting for the kids,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re happy to come put smiles on peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faces.â&#x20AC;?

In addition to bringing Spartacat to hobnob with the young fans, the players also brought an air hockey table that will be placed in one of the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playrooms.

Defenceman and team captain Erik Karlsson enjoyed his sixth visit to CHEO with the Senators, an experience he said feels very special every time.

He echoed Ryan that the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual visit puts life in perspective. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You see how positive all the families and all the kids are even though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough at times,â&#x20AC;?

Karlsson said, adding the Senators are very proud of their visit to the regional hospital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know how much it means for them and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a small thing we can do to make their every

day a little bit easier and, you know, something for them to look forward to and talk about,â&#x20AC;? Karlsson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And it greatly warms your heart to see how greatly they appreciate everything and how positive they all stay.â&#x20AC;?

Ryan also spent the hour going from patient to patient, signing cards and chatting about hockey.

He can still remember being a little boy with dreams of playing in the NHL. He was a big fan of the Philadelphia Flyers, and he saw the players as role models.

The Kanata Lasers have been going through a slump in December, losing by wide margins to Pembroke and Ottawa on Dec. 11, 13 and 14 despite some promising games in October and November. The team had hoped to move up in the standings before the holidays, but have remained in the bottom of the Yzerman division with six wins this season.

The trick was performed successfully, with no injuries to the volunteer, her antlers or the yoyo. But the candy cane was a little bit worse for wear. The event included lunch, singing and magical entertainment, as well as a ceremony dedicating a program room for seniors’ centre founder Owen Prince.

City road crews winter ready City readying liquid salt to deal with more freezing, thawing Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

Changing weather patterns are making snow removal a challenge, said winter operations chief Luc Gagne, but the city is ready for the deluge.

Although his department has already blown through its $58 million budget for 2014 thanks to a lengthy winter earlier this year, Gagne’s staff has had a chance to catch its breath this winter.

At this time last year, 40 centimetres of snow had already fallen.

While there is less snow so far this winter, the instance of freeze-thaws cycles is increasing, so the city is ready to pre-treat roads with liquid salt to prevent ice build-up, Gagne said.

Residents can follow @ ottawacity on Twitter for

updated information about snow clearing operations.

The first roads to be cleared, which get plows almost as soon as snow begins falling, are the Transitway and highway 174. Major arterial roads such as Hunt Club, Woodroffe and March roads are next.

Residential streets begin to be plowed once seven centimetres of snow has fallen, Gagne said. Those operations can begin up to 10 hours after a snow event.

Complete removal of snow on residential streets, from curb to curb, happens after snow buildup reduces the travelable width of the road to five metres, Gagne said.

The clearing of intersections, pedestrian crossings and the city’s 6,000 bus stops begins after a snow event has ended.

Gagne reminded motorists to keep a safe distance back from snow plows and avoid passing them, particularly when they are turning, because plows are wider than most other vehicles.

By the numbers: • Average of 236 centimetres of snowfall a year • Average of 178 millimetres of freezing rain in a winter • $58 million snow removal budget for 2014 • 180,000 tonnes of salt • 4.5 million litres of liquid salt for pre-treating roads • 580 pieces of winter road and sidewalk maintenance equipment • 6,000 kilometers of roads • 2,200 km of sidewalks and pathways • 6,000 bus stops LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND

• 619 employees

City crews ready road salt supplies and some of the 580 pieces of equipment for one of the first winter storms expected on Dec. 10.

Moffatt wants to lead rural committee to more prominence New meeting locations, D-55 water quality issue top the agenda Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt wants to make the city’s rural and agriculture affairs committee s stronger voice for rural residents now that he’s in charge.

Moffatt was named as the new chairman of the committee on Dec. 10. He replaced Doug Thompson, who led the committee before he retired from politics after the recent municipal election.

Moffatt said ARAC is an important body because it ensures that rural issues don’t “get swallowed up in the larger picture.”

“Some issues that could be seen as minor from a citywide perspective are important to rural residents,” he said.

The committee deserves more “prominence and stature,” Moffatt said. Even before he was named as the new chairman, Moffatt was al-

ottawa COMMUNITY

ready successful in proposing one change that works towards that. During city council’s first meeting of the new term on Dec. 3, Moffatt gained his colleague’s support for requiring ARAC to approve changes to rural areas when the city reviews its development charges bylaw every five years (the bylaw was just updated earlier this year).

Next on his list is making a change that would require ARAC to sign off on Official Plan changes relating to the rural areas before city council can adopt an updated Official Plan, which is the blueprint for land-use planning directions across the city.

Having grown up in rural Ottawa and represented one of only three wards in the city that are entirely rural, the second-term councillor said he’s a perfect fit for the job.

“I think I can be a big voice for all of rural Ottawa,” Moffatt said.

Moffatt will have some decisions to make as the new chairman, including deciding a new location for the ARAC meetings. On Dec. 3, city council voted to end the practice of having regular ARAC meetings scheduled in rural locations across the city. Moffatt said the first ARAC meetings of this new term of council

Now in his second term, Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt says he can be a ‘big voice’ for rural Ottawa. will be held at city hall, but he will confer with the other councillors who sit on the committee to determine whether another location, such

as Ben Franklin Place in Nepean, would be a more central and convenient spot.

Some meetings could still be held

in rural locations if there is an item of particular interest to a certain area that will be discussed.

“There is nothing off the table with how we meet with rural residents in the future,” Moffatt said.

Moffatt said he would also like to be more proactive and “get ahead of issues and respond” with new policies before they become big issues.

One such controversial issue that’s been percolating on the rural agenda for the past year is the city’s application of provincial water-quality guidelines known as D-55 when it comes to granting land severances.

That issue should see some resolution or at least some movement in the near future, Moffatt said.

He said he would like to see some recommendations come to ARAC from the D-55 working group that he and West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry have been meeting with since the spring.

“You’re never going to be able to make every single person happy, (but) it would be a shame to go through this process and come out with nothing,” he said, adding that he’d like to see ways of making it easier for rural residents when it comes to approval of new wells in general.

National Arts Centre to get new Elgin entrance, upgrades Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

The National Arts Centre will be getting a bigger and better facelift than previously planned thanks to a $110.5 million investment from the federal government.

Ottawa West-Nepean MP John Baird and Shelly Glover, the minister of Canadian heritage and official languages, announced the plan to add a striking glass entrance on Elgin Street and refresh some of the interior performance and event spaces.

The new entrance is targeted to be completed in 2017.

The sprawling, 1.08square metre NAC complex was constructed in 1969 as a centennial project. It was designed by renowned architect Fred Lebensold of ARCOP Design and the building has been praised as an architectural landmark by some. But for others, the large brown building is a windowless bunker, and the Elgin Street façade in particular has been a sore point.

“The new entrance of the NAC will be warm and inviting, and will embrace the nation’s capital for the first time.

With this new design we will finally face the city and its most important square,” Peter Herrndorf, president and CEO of the National Arts Centre, said in a press release. “We often call Confederation Square

‘Canada’s Square’ at the NAC, because it’s a place where the country gathers for important anniversaries, including Remembrance Day and Canada Day.” The proposed new glass entrance was designed by architect Donald Schmitt and mimics the hexagonal shape that characterizes the arts centre’s design. The entrance will “showcase the importance of the performing arts in Canada,” according to the NAC’s news release.

The entry level will connect with the Southam Hall mezzanine level. It will be constructed using glass that is capable of displaying high-definition images such as stills, videos or even live feeds of NAC performances.

Public spaces for events, education, small concerts or pre-concert gatherings located on the north side of the NAC will be expanded. A new lounge will be added to the upper level of the north atrium, while a new cafe will be added to the atrium itself.

A catering an event space called the Panorama Room will be expanded from a capacity of 225 people to 600 people, more than doubling in space from just under 700 square metres to 1,672 square metres.

The entire project, which also include mechanical and electrical system upgrades, will meet Leadership in Ener-

gy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards.

In 2012, the NAC had plans to re-do the facade along Eglin Street to make a more prominent entrance. In early 2012, the city approved changes to the light-rail tunnel currently construction that did not include an LRT station near the NAC. At the time, NAC spokeswoman Rosemary Thompson said the LRT change could put the arts centre’s Elgin entrance rebuild in jeopardy and the project went quiet after that.

The NAC will remain open during construction and all scheduled performances will go ahead, according to the news release. The centre hosts more than 1,300 shows a year.

The NAC revitalization will happen at the same time as a major rebuild of the city’s own cultural and performance centre, Arts Court, which is just more than 500 metres away on the other side of the Rideau Canal. Changes to Arts Court, which will re-open in late 2017, also include the addition of a 250-seat screening and multi-purpose room, expanded 4,000-square metre space for the Ottawa Art Gallery and four classrooms and a blackbox theatre for the University of Ottawa. The city’s portion of that project is $35 million and it also includes some private development in the form of a condo and hotel tower.

New CHEO concussion clinic fills care gap in complex cases Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND

The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario has opened a new off-site concussion clinic in south Ottawa for children and teens suffering from persistent symptoms. Research by CHEO neurosurgeon Dr. Michael Vassilyadi, left, led to the creation of the clinic, which will be run by pediatrician Dr. Kristian Goulet, and nurse practitioner and CHEO researcher Gail Macartney. The clinic will also provide teaching opportunities to resident physicians, such as Dr. Natalie Bresee, right.

With the right treatment, kids can recover from a concussion.

But for those whose symptoms have persisted for more than a month – whether from a sports injury, a motor vehicle crash or a fall – they have a new place to turn with the opening last month of the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario’s new off-site concussion clinic – the first of its kind in Ontario and only the second in Canada.

“CHEO wants to become the centre of excellence for concussions,” said CHEO neurosurgeon Dr. Michael Vassilyadi, whose research supported the need for a specialized clinic.

Concussions are on the rise in eastern Ontario, largely due to awareness around the health issue, but treatment options are still limited, which has led to a gap in care that the new clinic is designed to address, said Vassilyadi.

Of the 70,000 kids that come to the regional hospital’s emergency department each year, 900 of them have concussions. Up to 83 per cent of those have no arrangements for follow-up treatment.

The need for a dedicated pediatric concussion clinic specializing in complex cases was identified through a pilot clinic for sports-related concussions that operated at the hospital one afternoon a week from 2011 to 2013.

“But these kids, what we have identified – which was an eye-opener – was that they have a poor quality of life,” Vassilyadi said of the impact of prolonged symptoms ranging from lack of sleep and depression to headaches, which can lead to kids, especially teens, missing out on school, friendships and sports.

“They get into this vicious cycle where it may not necessarily go away quickly, but what we offer them is the confidence (that) yes, it will go away if you follow these steps,” Vassilyadi said.

“What we’re trying to pre-

vent here is the development of post-concussion syndrome, which is the prolongation of symptoms,” said pediatrician Dr. Kristian Goulet, who is teaming up with nurse practitioner and CHEO researcher Gail Macartney at the new clinic, which is open every Friday.

Patients up to age 18 can be referred through their family physician to see the concussion experts, who are working out of CHEO’s Centre for Healthy Active Living, located at 1355 Bank St. The clinic is already filling a huge need.

“Everybody seemed to leave the clinic, in the short time that I’ve been working there, sort of breathing a sigh of relief, like they’ve had some acknowledgement of what’s going on and recognition and identification of a few new therapies that maybe weren’t identified before,” said Macartney.

“This is allowing us to go further in a more specialized way with Dr. Goulet in a more holistic approach to patient care.”

The team will map out individualized treatment plans to tackle a range of persistent symptoms, ranging from vision and balance problems to neck pain and severe or new headaches – some of which may not have developed early on or were not recognized by medical professionals after the initial head injury, said Macartney.

Educating patients and their parents will be an essential part of the team’s work.

“We know that when you educate them and tell them what to expect or what the trends are, you are far less likely to develop this postconcussion (condition),” said Goulet, who has seen between 2,500 and 3,000 concussed patients in his medical career.

“If they stop getting better, either the kid is doing way too much, that kid is getting hit to the head continually, or there’s something else going on, whether it’s visual dysfunction after the head injury, whiplash injury, jaw

problems or they’re getting stressed.”

Treatment, depending on the case, may include blood work, nutritional supplements, physiotherapy, proper hydration, ocular therapy, a special diet, medications and cognitive and physical rest.

“The plan is not for them to be sick in a dark room for a month,” Macartney said.

Goulet views concussions as a mental-health problem.

In some cases, the concussion will bring to the forefront or even trigger a host of other symptoms the patient may already have been experiencing, such as chronic fatigue, depression or anxiety.

Teenagers today experience enormous amounts of stress, and while most can cope, adding a concussion to the mix can reduce their ability to juggle everything, said Goulet.

Their stress levels can soar; they may start falling behind in school and withdrawing from friends or social activities.

“It just starts this big downward spiral,” Macartney said.

Goulet said concussions and their symptoms have to be respected, not feared.

“It sounds kind of crazy, but I look at concussions like the ocean,” he said. “You have to respect the ocean. If you don’t respect the ocean you get lost at sea, you get pulled overboard; swimming the riptide will pull you away.

“But you can’t be terrified of the ocean. If you’re scared of it then you don’t get to enjoy everything that the ocean is,” he said.

This can be applied to concussions.

If symptoms are not properly acknowledged, patients can run into problems, which can hinder recovery, Goulet said.

That’s where the new clinic comes in – to improve recovery times, said Vassilyadi.

“We want these kids to be active and healthy and happy and do what they’re doing in their sports, their family life,” he said.

Representatives from Ottawa’s school boards and community partners discuss how to identify and combat school violence at the Confederation Education Centre on Dec. 11.

Non-profits look to help fight violence in city’s schools Alex Robinson alex.robinson@metroland.com

A number of community organizations have joined Ottawa’s English and French school boards’ fight to snuff out violence in the city’s schools.

The groups, who included the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa, Maison Fraternité and the Crossroads Children’s centre, signed the Community-based Violence/Threat Risk Assessment Protocol at the Confederation Education Centre in Nepean on Dec. 11.

The protocol sets out a framework to prevent and reduce violence in schools by requiring community partners and schools to communicate with each other when students show signs of violent behaviour.

“What happens with children in need is that there are many different people that have different pieces of the puzzle and now with this protocol we’re all speaking the

same language and it gives opportunities to share information to better support children and their families,” said Elizabeth Paquette, the chief psychologist and head of the mental-health unit at the Ottawa Catholic School Board.

When teachers or faculty recognize violent behaviour or signs a student might become violent, the protocol requires the principal to contact a supervisory officer at the school board. A multidisciplinary team is then set up, which will interview students, parents and teachers and determine the level of risk of the student.

The team will then figure out whether any intervention is needed.

“When there is youth who is on a pathway to some highly violent behaviour, whether it is towards other peers, towards teachers or in the community too, now there is a process to act on that,” Paquette said.

The school boards and the Ottawa Police Service signed

their first protocol to combat violence in 2010 and have since trained more than 1,000 employees in the Ottawa region in its standards since. An additional 95 members from Ottawa community organizations received training in the protocol after it was signed Dec. 11.

Now that the new partners have signed on, they will form a larger network of information sharing about students who are at risk of violent behaviour.

“It’s important we work together and harmonize our practices,” said Jean Cloutier the principal of safe schools for the French Catholic School Board.

“These partners deal with our kids in the community. So they know the kids. When we do a violence threat assessment, we need to have the big picture of the kid. We know what they’re like at school, but maybe the police know something about them we need to know.”

The annual Metcalfe Community Association parade delights onlookers on Dec. 14 – particularly children who enjoyed showers of candy from the numerous floats that traveled down Victoria Street to the community centre on 8th Line Road. After the parade, families enjoyed treats, cookie decorating and a meeting with Santa.

Volunteers collected donations for the local food bank in Enniskerry.

Police to ‘ticket’ youth for random acts of kindness Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Ottawa police are giving out a different kind of ticket – the kind that brings smiles, rewards good behaviour and helps break the ice between officers and youth.

Dubbed Operation Heat, Ottawa police, in partnership with Mac’s Convenience Stores, launched the year-round initiative for the first time in the city on Dec. 15.

Officers across the municipality will be giving out 10,000 coupons to youth they spot doing random acts of kindness, such as holding doors open for their elders, helping someone move or wearing a bike helmet.

The coupons will entitle them to receive a free regular hot chocolate in the winter months at any Mac’s store.

Coupons for free frozen drinks will be issued in the summer as part of Operation Freeze.

A number of Canterbury High School students smiled in surprise as officers handed out the coupons at the program’s launch outside a Mac’s at the corner of Canterbury Avenue and Arch Street – a store victimized last year by large groups of shoplifting youth, a problem that has since been addressed.

“It gives someone more reason to do something good,” said Robert Chitiu, 16.

The perception of police among young people today differs depending on who you ask, said Chitiu’s friend Nick Bohn.

“Some people see them and they get scared. Some people see them and they feel protected. It all depends on the person,” h said. “Some people have had a bad experience with

them. So just based on that they judge all cops.”

Mac’s initiated the coupon program in Ontario eight years ago as part of its community safety and crime prevention program known as Crime Busters.

Const. Jean Paul Vincelette, an Orléans-based community police officer, felt the initiative would be a good fit for Ottawa after he heard about it following a serious robbery this summer at a Mac’s store in Orléans in which a clerk was badly beaten.

When investigators issue appeals for information on crimes, such as robberies, the hope is that more young people will remember their positive interaction with officers through Operation Heat and feel comfortable calling in their tips, said Staff Sgt. Mike Haarbosch,

“From our perspective with the robberies, more often than not the people who are committing the robberies are from a younger demographic,” the 28-year policing veteran said.

“This is one more initiative to

try and bridge that gap.”

By handing out a reward that recognizes positive behavior, police hope it will serve as a building block that helps build trust among residents, some of them new Canadians who may come from countries where police are not viewed positively,

said Vincelette.

“This potentially could work.

Are we 100 per cent sure how well it works or will it work with every youth? No,” he said, but added the hope is that when an officer gives out a coupon …“all of a sudden he’s a friend.

He’s not the enemy anymore.”

CAT OF THE WEEK I AM DONOVAN

Looking for a warm heart to curl up on and have a snooze and when I wake up to feel your tender hands petting me. Is that so much to ask... I am a lovely red and white medium furred gentlemen cat who is loving and kind.

Do live with cats so I can adjust to resident cat if there are any. Come and meet me; I might be the furry baby you are looking for in your life.

For adopting this or any other cat contact GWEN at 613-258-2622. Check out the Website www.countrycatrescue.com for available cats and more info. Looking for volunteers and foster families to help out with cat care. We are a registered charity.

Enjoying winter activities with less pain News Canada - The winter months offer no shortage of fun-filled seasonal activities.

Unfortunately, many Canadians are sidelined from participating in the things they might normally like to do this time of year, such as cross-country skiing, snow-shoeing, indoor tennis or even going away on vacation.

People with chronic pain

due to osteoarthritis of the knee, for example, often avoid even simple things such as visiting family and friends over the holidays. The pain can be debilitating, compromising mobility and leaving sufferers feeling susceptible to injuries and and isolated from getting out and doing the things they enjoy.â&#x20AC;Ż For the 10 per cent of Ca-

nadians the Arthritis Society of Canada says are living with this condition, managing chronic knee pain can be challenging. What may pose even more difficult is finding a safe and effective way to alleviate the pain so they can stay active.

As the most common kind of arthritis, it is a progressive, degenerative disease of the

joint. In the knee, tissues are unable to repair themselves, causing cartilage and bone to erode, resulting in stiffness, swelling and severe pain in the joints. With time, the condition can result in chronic pain, so speaking with a doctor or specialist is critical to ensure that a pain management plan is established.â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ongoing pain and stiffness in the knees

should not be ignored or accepted as a sign of aging. If someone finds they can barely walk upstairs, let alone participate in the activities they once enjoyed, it is important they speak to their doctor as it could be the result of a serious condition that requires treatment,â&#x20AC;? said rheumatologist Dr. Philip Baer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Developing an individualized treatment plan can help patients better manage their pain so they can get on with their lives.â&#x20AC;?

Shed the pounds, get mov-

ing and talk the talk so you can walk the walk can all you help you better manage osteoarthritis knee pain â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so that you can get back to enjoying the activities youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to do this winter: Speak with your doctor to learn about the options available to relieve pain and improve functionality. An open dialogue will allow you to better understand your condition, best treatment options and help you enjoy winter again.

Farm Boy partnering with CHEO to promote healthier, better lives.

Farm Boy, a local fresh food retailer entices customers to help raise funds for CHEO nutrition education, research and programming.

Farm Boy’s latest fundraising campaign takes off this week with their fourth annual coupon book. Customers can save money, while helping raise money for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO).

“Our customers know that ensuring the health of our children is one of the most basic and important things we can do together. Over the years, the progress we’ve helped to achieve on behalf of CHEO is something we’re very proud of and our customers have been a big part of that,” said Jeff York, CEO of Farm Boy. York noted that over the past 15 years, Farm Boy customers have helped raise over $1.3 million for CHEO, which has been used for equipment purchases and the outdoor Farm Boy Fun Park.

Kicking off the coupon book campaign, Farm Boy presented a $60,324.43 cheque for nutrition education, research and programming.

Money raised last year was designated for CHEO’s Healthy Active Living Centre. The centre was established to improve the health and quality of life of children with weight-related health complications, and support them and their families in achieving a healthy, active lifestyle.

“I’m proud of how our customers, suppliers and employees have made this

R0013052180

donation possible,” said York. “Thanks to them, we can help children in our community embrace healthy active lifestyles, including healthy eating.”

Eastern Ontario residents can purchase the $10 coupon book with 100% of that going to CHEO. This year’s coupon book contains over $100 in savings on favourite Farm Boy products and 22 tasty recipes from the Farm Boy recipe contest winners and Farm Boy Chef, including the recipe for their coveted, December Fresh Soup of the Month—Wholesome Mushroom Kale Soup.

“We are proud of our longstanding relationship with Farm Boy and its loyal customers. We want to thank everyone who works and shops at Farm Boy for the outstanding support they continue to provide to the children and young families served by CHEO. Farm Boy’s focus may be all about the food but they do it with an unwavering commitment to keeping our kids as healthy as they can be.”

KEVIN KEOHANE PRESIDENT & CEO, CHEO FOUNDATION

Both Farm Boy and CHEO hope that this year’s coupon book is a big success.

Mushroom phyllo rolls make an easy and tasty appetizer The contrast between buttery crisp paper-thin phyllo and sumptuous mushrooms is both impressive and unexpected. Easy to make and no frying required. Preparation time: 30 minutes. Cooking time: 10 minutes. Baking time: 13 minutes. Makes nine rolls.

Ingredients

• 125 ml butter (1/2 cup) butter • 250 g (8 oz) mushrooms, finely chopped • 50 ml (1/4 cup) finely chopped shallots • 5 ml (1 tsp) dried tarragon leaves • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) salt • 50 ml (1/4 cup) grated Asiago • 50 ml (1/4 cup) chopped fresh parsley • 6 sheets phyllo pastry • 45 ml (3 tbsp) coarsely chopped fresh parsley

Preparation

In a large skillet, melt 25 ml (2 tbsp) of the butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, shallots, tarragon and salt, and cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms seem dry – about 10 minutes. Transfer the filling into a bowl. Stir in the cheese and 50 ml (1/4 cup) chopped parsley. (If you’re making it ahead, cover and refrigerate it for up to two days.)

For the rolls, melt the remaining 90 ml (6 tbsp) of butter. Lay one phyllo sheet on your work surface with the long end closest to you. Cover the remaining phyllo with a damp tea towel to prevent it from drying out. Lightly brush the phyllo sheet with butter.

Scatter about 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the coarsely chopped parsley on top of the phyllo sheet. Top with another phyllo sheet and

brush it with butter.

Cut the pastry sheets vertically into three, 12-centimetre (five-inch) wide strips. Discard the leftover thin strips. Mound about 25 ml (2 tbsp) of the filling, 2.5 centimetres (one inch) from bottom of one strip. Pat the filling into log shape, leaving one centimetre (1/2-inch) phyllo border on both sides.

Fold in both long sides of phyllo strip, about one centimetre (1/2-inch) wide, bringing them up and over filling ends.

Lightly brush folded sides with butter. Fold bottom edge of phyllo strip over filling and roll up. Brush roll with butter and place seam side down on nonstick baking sheet. Repeat process twice more making nine rolls. Bake in 190 C (375 F) oven until golden, 13 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.

The most wonderful time of the year

F

or me, the month of December was the best time of the year.

The planks on the wood horses in the summer kitchen were loaded with cake tins and pies wrapped in many layers of newspapers, and then covered with a thick quilt.

Mother lived in dread that a mouse would invade what she had spent hours making for Christmas, but Father said they would have to have teeth like a chainsaw to get through all the wrappings Mother had put around every morsel.

Every time I went into the summer kitchen, to get wood to load up the wood box, I could smell cinnamon and ginger coming from the mounds on the planks, and I would think to myself what a wonderful time of year was the month of December.

Of course, that was the month of my birthday, but the day came and went like most others, although Mother always made a cake for me, and put in a few coins wrapped in wax paper. That was as far as a birthday celebration

MARY COOK Memories went. My brothers always gave me something they had made. For the boys that could mean anything from a slingshot for which I had absolutely no use, or a crudely whittled animal. But I was expected to heap abundant thanks on them for whatever they gave me. My sister Audrey, without fail, would take a nickle out of the corner of her hankie, and it would be sitting at my supper plate at night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Too close to Christmasâ&#x20AC;?

Mother would say, which meant â&#x20AC;&#x153;donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect anything more than the cake.â&#x20AC;?

But sitting around the kitchen table the night of my birthday, in the middle of December, I would feel the utmost contentment. We would linger over our piece of cake, and Mother would get out her harmonica, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d all

sing Happy Birthday. When I was very young I used to sing Happy Birthday dear Mary, until my sister Audrey told me I was just to listen and be quiet.

And by the middle of December, the snow would be knee deep, the old Model T would be up on blocks in the drive shed, and everywhere we went, we travelled in the cutter or the flat-bottom sleigh. By then Father would have attached the brass bells to the horseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harness, and I would think there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a more wonderful sound in the entire world than those bells, especially if we were travelling at night and the moon was out, and the fields looked as if they were covered with millions of diamonds. I would invariably fall asleep under the heavy blankets with the hot bricks at our feet, listening to those sleigh bells. I would think that time of year was the most wonderful of any month before or after, and never once did I think we were poor. I would think we were the richest people in the world.

In December, Turkey Fair would

have come and gone, and I would know that the blue sugar bowl would be fuller than at any other time of the year. And it was in December that our order from Eatonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s catalogue would arrive, delivered right to our door by the mailman. The excitement of opening the parcel (always wrapped in heavy brown paper, and tied with thick cord) once the kitchen had been cleaned up after supper, was right up there with getting new hair ribbons, or having a five cent ice cream cone from Briscoes General Store.

And it was in December that we would collect the many new calendars handed out free of charge from so many of the stores in Renfrew.

Most had beautiful coloured pictures of mountains, or big black horses, and always my favourite, from Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hardware, a picture of Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret Rose in their smocked dresses and strings of pearls.

The Rexall calendar was Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favourite, and it went right to the cow byre. It was always a blue colour, and on the monthly sheets, which were the full size of the calendar, were lists of new medicines to treat everything from the common cold, to dealing with

livestock ailments, which was of interest to Father.

And as the month went on, I would be filled with the utmost excitement, knowing Christmas was just days away. Although presents were few and far between, I knew for a fact that Santa Claus would come. He never forgot my house on the Northcote Side Road.

Always he left me a book, and a toy of the simplest kind, and there would be new hand knit mitts, and always the orange in the toe of my stocking.

So all December would be one of sheer joy of the season and what it meant. My life would be filled with anticipation. Special church services, neighbours coming to visit, the school concert, secret trips by Mother and Father into Renfrew, and if we were lucky, the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie would arrive in time for Christmas.

December would spin by, even though I would pray that it would go on forever.

Nothing could take away from me that feeling of sheer joy that month brought. When I was very young, and unaware of the hardships around me, December was always the most wonderful month of the year.

Breakfast fundraiser reaches new heights Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

Support for Vanierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s local food bank improved signiďŹ cantly this year at its annual fundraiser breakfast.

The event featured a steady stream of hungry supporters lining up for a hearty breakfast at the Centre PaulineCharron on Dec. 5, supporting the 8th annual Vanier Community Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s SnowďŹ&#x201A;ake Breakfast.

For the ďŹ rst time ever the event broke the $50,000 mark, raising $52,000 for the cause -- surpassing its

initial goal to raise $40,000.

The total for the annual fundraiser continues to grow. Last year the organization raised $36,000 and $30,000 was collected in 2012.

Michel Gervais, executive director of the Vanier Community Service Centre said he was pleased to learn the total of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On behalf of the Partage Vanier users, we would like to thank the whole community for coming together for this important cause,â&#x20AC;? Gervais said.

Community leaders, ďŹ reďŹ ghters, RCMP ofďŹ cers and Rideau-Vanier

Coun. Mathieu Fleury, Ottawa-Vanier MP Mauril BĂŠlanger, and OttawaVanier MPP Madeleine Meilleur all worked at the event as servers, offering coffee and breakfast to the supporters. Area school students from Samuel-Genest Catholic School also lent a helping hand but clearing the tables, offering tea and coffee and collecting coats as people entered the centre. And to feed the hundreds of supporters, volunteers start preparing breakfast as early as 4 a.m.

Partage Vanier feeds approximately 440 low-income families in Vanier

each month. The money raised at this event marks the amount the food bank works with throughout the year, as it relies solely on donations.

The food bank also offers many activities like participation at the Vanier Community Garden, healthy eating workshops and meal suggestions using available goods.

This is the food bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only eventorganized fundraiser to help support families this year.

Donations are accepted throughout the year. More information is available at cscvanier.com.

More kids and teens will soon get the chance to roll up their sleeves and cook up some nutritious fun.

The Food Facts and Fun program, offered for free to youth in the Albion-Heatherington neighbourhood through a collaborative partnership between St. Thomas the Apostle Anglican Church and the South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre, will be offered for a second year beginning in January.

“The main success is really in seeing the young participants both enjoying the food preparation and cooking part and also appearing to get a better handle on food preparation and knowing a little bit more about nutrition,” said Derwyn Sangster, a longtime church volunteer and chairman of the program steering group.

Since the program’s launch in February, upwards of 45 kids ages eight to 13 from the vulnerable lower-income neighbourhood learned how to prepare pizzas, carrot cookies, fruit yogurt smoothies and fruit kebabs, among other delicious, healthy and low-cost recipes, during three eightweek sessions and an intensive one-week summertime session.

“It’s a youth age range where we think they’re old enough to be comfortable at a certain level in the kitchen and at an age where they are quite easy with learning,” Sangster said.

The kids enjoyed the handson experience of baking, mixing and assembling tasty treats, as well as learning about the food groups, healthy eating habits, simple meal planning and preparation and new and affordable recipes.

Participant surveys revealed some of the interesting new lessons that were learned.

One child said they didn’t know carrots could be added to cookie batter.

“That was a surprise, I would say,” said Sangster, adding that another participant said she enjoyed learning a

DERWYN SANGSTER

Children and teens in the Albion-Heatherington community have been learning in the kitchen through the Food Facts and Fun program that rolled out earlier this year through Alta Vista’s St. Thomas the Apostle Anglican Church and the South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre. new recipe for hummus.

Each session also included a visit to a grocery store, as well as instruction and games on safe food handling, among other lessons.

Parents were also invited one evening to help out in the kitchen, take part in the games and were given a cookbook with the recipes the kids followed.

“We want to make sure that what the kids are learning can be shared with the people in their families who actually make the food purchase decisions,” Sangster said.

“We’re sort of focusing on the kids but engaging the parents, in a sense, through the kids.”

The St. Thomas church, which spearheaded the initiative, secured four years of funding for Food Fun and Facts through the Anglican Archdiocese of Ottawa’s Growing in Faith Together grant program.

During the initial steps of the program’s development, the South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre helped flesh out the idea and provided a dietitian’s expertise and staff, as well as volunteer training.

Health centre staff, together with volunteers from St. Thomas and Rideau Park United Church, coached the young participants through the

flavourful lessons.

“Each of us brought something to the table,” Sangster said.

Given the success of the program’s inaugural year, organizers are looking to offer five sessions in 2015.

There is also hope of growing the program, and offering it in a different venue on another night with the help of additional church partners so that more kids and teens can benefit. The key will be in securing enough church volunteers, said Sangster.

“That is a bit of a dream at this point,” the Alta Vista resident said. “But we are going to chat to some other churches and see if there’s interest.”

Volunteers from the Muslim community would also be a welcome addition since about half of the program participants are of that faith.

“It’s an issue that cuts across faiths,” Sangster said of the nutritional initiative that would benefit from further community involvement. “It would be a very interesting opportunity if we can make it work.”

To volunteer or learn more, email d.sangster@rogers. com. To inquire about registering a child for the free Food Facts and Fun program, call the South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre at
