Councillors hope to make changes with new gigs Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley says he is looking forward to finding new savings as chair of the city’s audit committee. In addition to being made a member of several other committees and boards, Hubley said he was especially excited by the audit committee appointment, saying being made chair was a promotion. Hubley had been the vice-chair of what was then the audit subcommittee, which now has an increased mandate, he said. The committee works to review city programs and services and offers recommendations, he said. Now, the committee will look to check the follow-through on recommendations more thoroughly to see whether recommendations resulted in the projected savings, he said. “For example, last term of council we found over $15 million worth of potential savings for the city. It would be nice to go back and make sure that steps are being taken to realize those things,” he said. Calling himself a fiscal conser-

vative, Hubley said it will be an exciting post for him. “That’s the candy that we like in politics, OK, it is going to find the savings. So I’m excited,” he said, with hopes of finding more ways to save money in the next term. Council signed off on a slate of appointments on Dec. 10, placing Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson in charge of the Ottawa Community Lands Development Corporation as chair. Wilkinson has been appointed to eight committee and board positions in total, not including a position with the Kanata North Business Improvement Area. That’s an increase from last year, she said. The appointments of particular interest include seats on the Transit Commission and the Ottawa Public Library Board and the position of chair of the Ottawa Community Lands Development Corporation, she said. The community lands corporation deals with city-owned land, when to sell it for development, and when to purchase more. Wilkinson said she hopes to put more emphasis on the purchasing of

land the city will need several years down the road, saying that will ultimately save the city money. “Once it comes into a need situation, somehow the value of the land tends to go up,” she said. “So I want to make sure that doesn’t happen.” The library board will also be of interest as it works through upgrading its main library, and continues to try and bring library services to developing areas of the city. Wilkinson will also look to make some waves on the transit committee, saying she wants to take a closer look at distributing bus service more evenly across the city. She pointed to Kanata, saying some young workers have to take three buses to get from their home in north Kanata to the Kanata Centrum. “It’s really not fair that people pay for a service they don’t get,” she said. With OC Transpo’s budget frozen for four years, Wilkinson said she would like to see more money in the budget for bus routes, but that a closer look at distribution

MINIMIZE THE FINAL INCOME TAX LIABILITY OF YOUR ESTATE proper planning, a deceased’s “ Without income tax liability could be significant Did you know that approximately 80% of Canadians will donate to a charity during their lifetime? However, it is estimated that less than 10% will include a gift to a registered charity in their Will.

By Marty Clement, Leader EY’s Professionals Services marty.clement@ca.ey.com (613) 598-4894

This is one of a series of several articles intended to build awareness about the impact of legacy giving to Forever CHEO. In addition to the spiritual and community benefits of gifting to a registered charity, naming a registered charity as a beneficiary in your Will can also be an effective way to minimize the final income tax liability

of an estate. Without proper planning, a deceased’s income tax liability could be significant. Various income inclusions at the time of death, such as deemed capital gains and the fair market value of an RRSP can result in a higher than expected estate income tax liability given Canada’s graduated income tax rates.

Gifts to Forever CHEO can include cash legacies, bequests of real or personal property, securities, life insurance proceeds and all or part of the residue of the estate. All of these gifts can potentially generate tax credits available to reduce an estate’s income tax liability. Additionally, the gifting of certain types of capital property to Forever CHEO under the terms of a Will may avoid capital gains but still maximize the tax credits available from such a gift.

R0013065076

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

megandoyle@cheofoundation.com or (613) 738-3694

”

Please feel free to contact any member of CHEO’s Legacy Advisory Committee for more information about minimizing the tax liability of your estate and how you can make a lasting impact on the kids and families at CHEO. We would be happy to help you create your Forever CHEO legacy for generations of CHEO patients.

The tour expanded to include Bridlewood and Katimavik communities over the past two years. Winners of the Christmas lights competition in Glen Cairn are expected to be chosen before the New Year.

Wanted: a few good singing men Goulbourn Male Chorus

Do you love to sing and are looking for a fun group to sing with? The Goulbourn Male Chorus could fill that void for you. The chorus, centered in the west end of Ottawa, started in 2010 with 12 men under the direction of Robert Dueck and has grown since then to about 25 men. The chorus is made up of men who love to sing and also love to share a laugh. Dueck’s vision for the chorus was that it should be a community based group and would perform several times a year at different retirement homes and support local causes, such as the Stittsville Food Bank. Often there will be several audience sing along songs which the residents love. The repertoire of the chorus includes Canadian folk , east coast, working man spirituals, Irish folk. The members of the chorus are encouraged to practice their part at home to minimize the time spend on parts during the rehearsals, since there is only so much time before a spring or winter concert. In the past Dueck has provided the chorus with an mp3 file of each voice part for the members. For the past five years, the chorus has had a Christmas concert at the beginning of December. Some of the pieces the chorus sang this past Christmas were filled with fun, such as a song where Santa underwent some radical changes with lines like: “Santa got a tummy tuck, had a face lift too, and he had some hair implants which he then dyed blue, Liposuction next was done almost everywhere, on his belly and hips and his derriere”. The chorus also has opportunities for additional pieces to be performed in smaller ensembles for those who are interested. The music might be a bit more challenging, but the fun and reward of pulling it off can be fantastic! The Christmas concert this year was the last one that Dueck directed for the chorus. Dueck had decided that it was time for him to retire from the chorus because of personal reasons.’ The board accepted his resignation reluctantly but is actively searching for a director to replace Dueck and as the saying

Week in Review Merry Christmas and a Happy Holidays Kanata South!

Thank You! SUBMITTED

The Goulbourn Male Chorus is recruiting new singers as well as a new music director to replace Robert Dueck. The chorus practices each Tuesday evening at the Trinity Presbyterian Church at 1817 Richardson Side Road from 7 to 9 p.m. goes “the show must go on”. The search for a new music director is led by an artistic committee made up of three members of the chorus. The chorus has been invited several times to join other groups in their concerts. The chorus practices each Tuesday evening at the Trinity Presbyterian Church at 1817

Richardson Side Road from 7 to 9 p.m. For those interested, you will regularly see a group head off to the local pub after the rehearsal for some social time. The chorus will start their spring rehearsals on Jan. 12. Anyone interested in joining the chorus is welcome to visit us during our rehearsals. Before becoming a member candidates

Reflecting on our good fortune

T

he holiday season is a fine time to join together in celebration with friends and family, and to look back at what has become of the year that is just about to pass us by. While we each spend time reflecting on personal triumphs and tragedies, for this newspaper we can take a moment to look back upon the year for Ottawa both as a civic entity and as a large, diverse community. When we take such time, it is easy to see how fortunate we are as a city. We have a stable municipal government that can claim strong support from residents – all one needs to do is look at Mayor Jim Watson’s October election victory for evidence Ottawans are happy with city hall. Considering the chaos in the other large Ontario city during the past four years, we’ve done quite well. Unemployment has barely budged in the past 12 months, moving only one tenth of a per cent. Gas prices are lower than they’ve been since 2009.

Even with the spate of gun violence this year, crime overall continues to decline. We have more and more each year to do in and around the city. Ottawa can now boast three professional sports franchises, a brand new entertainment venue to attract even more entertainment to town, and more music festivals than you can shake a stick at. With all these things to celebrate, it’s also important to reflect on those who are not so fortunate in our society. Demand at food banks and homeless shelters, as well as for services from local charities continues to rise. The next time you pass a donation bin at the grocery store or are handed a charitable contribution form at work, take a moment to remember that. Yes, Ottawa is a wonderful city, one where there is opportunity to grow and prosper, in which to enjoy free time, and a place to call home. Let’s all celebrate our bounty and strive to make it even better in 2015.

Leave Santa out of your geopolitics

C

hristmas has been under attack for many years now, which is too bad because you’d think that for one day of the year people could stop arguing and sit around quietly with children and play with their toys. But no. First came the commercial onslaught. In Canada it begins right after Halloween. All of November the cheezy Christmas songs ring out over the shopping centres, a vigorous business is done of videos of your child on Santa’s knee and television commercials endlessly provoke us to get-get-get and even give a little. And we’re reminded that our economic well-being depends on there being a lot of this. We’re used to that by now, usually reassuring ourselves that it’s just a

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town sideshow to a more significant main event. It was harder to deal with the ideological onslaught, beginning with people wanting to take the word “Christmas� out of seasonal events so as not to offend anyone, and then other people being offended by the first people. Christmas becomes a verbal battleground as well as an economic one. This is a lot of weight for one little day of the year to carry. But wait, as they say on TV,

there’s more. Just this month, Christmas has entered the geopolitical sphere, with various nations suddenly waxing aggressive over their territorial rights to the North Pole, where Santa Claus hangs his hat. This was in the news last week. Denmark, that most unwarlike of nations, announced that it was legally entitled to one-third of the Arctic Ocean, including the part of it where the North Pole lies. Some say this has less to do with Santa Claus than with the resource-rich seafloor. Much of that has already been claimed by Russia. You wonder how Santa can carry on with all that racket. Meanwhile, our country, Canada is also in the act, preparing a claim for more than a million square kilometres of ocean, including the North DISTRIBUTION INQUIRIES 'RAHAM "RAGGER ADMINISTRATION: $ONNA 4HERIEN DISPLAY ADVERTISING: 'ISELE 'ODIN +ANATA $AVE 0ENNETT /TTAWA 7EST "RAD #LOUTHIER /RLEANS #INDY 'ILBERT /TTAWA 3OUTH 'EOFF (AMILTON /TTAWA %AST 6ALERIE 2OCHON "ARRHAVEN *ILL -ARTIN .EPEAN -IKE 3TOODLEY 3TITTSVILLE *ANINE +IVELL /TTAWA 7EST 2ICO #ORSI !UTOMOTIVE #ONSULTANT 'REG 3TIMPSON !UTOMOTIVE #ONSULTANT

Pole. And here’s the tricky part, buried deep in the last paragraphs of a news story: last year Canada’s citizenship and immigration minister granted Canadian citizenship to Santa Claus. First the old guy gets caught kissing Mommy and now this: he becomes a pawn in an international power game. News that Santa was Canadian somehow failed to make a deep impression here. You wonder how he would fare in those Greatest Canadian contests the CBC used to run. Would he beat out Tommy Douglas? Finish ahead of Don Cherry? The larger world also has failed to take notice of Santa’s Canadian citizenship. In some ways, that’s too bad. It would be nice to be known for something other than hockey, cold weather and Anne of Green Gables. On the other hand, do we want the world’s bitter envy, not to mention the millions of tourists flocking to

Ottawa (because that’s where they’ll come first) looking for Santa’s official residence? And what will we tell them? Just head north a few thousand kilometres. You can’t miss it. If you see a Danish flag, you’ve gone too far.

Have an active Christmas

L

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse three-year funding commitment by RBC and the city announced earlier this year. Sledding. If the snow stays on the ground, there’s often nothing more fun than going out for a slide. If you don’t have the guts for the likes of Green’s Creek, where I understand full body gear is mandatory, have a hunt around your neighbourhood for a local bunny hill. Hills don’t have to be huge to be fun. There are a few easy and fast slopes along the Ottawa River parkways. We’ve got one suitable for a two-yearold in our local park. No helmets required. Walking, hiking, crosscountry skiing. Dog-owners know something the rest of us don’t. Every day, I see my neighbours with dogs walking around the various blocks in the vicinity. “Don’t you ever get bored of walking the same route?� I asked one day. It turns out, they do, which is why almost every weekend,

poochie gets to go on an excursion. Ottawa has lots of great walking routes. More than 40 kilometres inside the greenbelt are groomed for skiing in the winter by the National Capital Commission. East-enders can check out Mer Bleue; people in the west may like Shirleys Bay. One of my favourites is Pine Grove Forest on Davidson, west of Hawthorne. So if you’re lucky enough to have a few days of vacation time with the family, turn off the screens and take advantage of these free and active offerings. My favourite thing to do is throw a meal in the slow-cooker, gear up the reluctant kids and come home to the smell of a warm and spicy stew. Getting out to experience the best freebies Ottawa has to offer is not only good for your pocketbook after the holiday splurge, but it may also mark the start of a healthier, more active 2015.

ike most people, I’ve found the leadup to the holidays to be stressful. There are the tourtieres and cookies to make, toilets to clean, and kids to discipline. With visitors in and out and no schedule, we should all be able to relax a little bit. And yet, there’s something about Christmas that causes many of us to feel anxious. With the children, this equates to rowdiness. Everything is perfectly calm until someone decides to whip a foam soccer ball at the Christmas tree or at his little sister’s head. To ward off the risk of walls closing in on us, I’ve come up with a list of free and active holiday activities to keep the kids – and me – occupied. Skating. Ottawa’s one of those towns where a pair of skates is an essential pair of winter footwear, even if you only use them a couple of times. If it’s not cold enough for the canal, the Rink of Dreams outside city hall and sponsored by the Ottawa Senators, is a great excuse to strap on some blades. If you’re like me and your toes freeze a little too easily, check out the free indoor skating sessions every weekend at city arenas. All public skating sessions are free until the end of March, thanks to a

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

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

Bruce, a 15-month-old English bulldog, gets his turn with Santa Paws at the Ottawa Humane Society in Nepean on Dec. 12.

Symphony Senior Living Kanata offers two service options for seniors - a beautiful new Moments Neighbourhood as well as assisted living services. This allows residents to choose the best service option for their needs, as well as to age in place without requiring another move. Mary W alsh

The Symphony Senior Living Moments program is a welcome new addition to memory care services in the Ottawa area. Additional Moments neighbourhoods will be introduced at UIF DPNQBOZ T $BSMFUPO 1MBDF 5FSSBDF MPDBUJPO and its Symphony Senior Living Orléans location in 2015.

News - A Carp dairy farmer was in hospital recuperating after a tragic farming accident on Dec. 17. Ken Paul, who runs Appaulo Farms with his son Bruce, lost both arms after his clothing was pulled into the power take-off (PTO) shaft while trying to connect the machinery to his tractor. The Paul family released a statement to the Review on Dec. 19 with a request that it run in its entirety: “On behalf of the Paul family, we wish to sincerely thank the Ottawa emergency services (paramedic, fire, and police – with their crisis management unit) for their quick response and their tremendous care, support and professionalism. “We also wish to say thank you to the Ottawa Civic Hospital emergency unit and the trauma teams for their ongoing support following the tragic farm accident at Appaulo Farms Ltd., in Carp, on Wednesday, Dec. 17, where Ken Paul became entangled in a forage wagon PTO shaft, resulting in the loss of both arms. “Ken is recuperating at this time, and will remain in the trauma unit, pending further medical assessments and procedures.

“All your well wishes, thoughts and prayers are very comforting and so important to all of us. “The support of so many neighbours and friends - (known and unknown) in this community is overwhelming at a time of need. “Thank you to all – You know who you are.� The Paul Family Emergency personnel responded to the call, which came in around 8 a.m. Wednesday. The 69-year-old farmer’s arms had been pulled into the shaft, severing one at the shoulder and the other below the elbow. Ottawa paramedics spokesman JP Trottier called the accident “horrific.� Ken Paul was conscious when paramedics arrived at the William Mooney Road farm, near the Cheshire Cat restaurant, and he was transported to hospital in critical condition. Marc Messier, spokesman for Ottawa fire, said the man was free of the machinery when crews arrived on scene. The Paul family has worked the 283-hectare farm for five generations with Holsteins, cash crops and beef cattle. Ken Paul was Carp Fair Board president in 1981. With files from Derek Dunn

No new police officers for the fifth year running Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

Despite saying 2015 was the year the police service would finally add new officers after years of austerity, police Chief Charles Bordeleau said the service has scrapped a plan to hire 23 additional officers next year. City council recently decided that each department’s budget will only be allowed to increase by a maximum of two per cent in 2015 – including the police service budget. That will mean the police force won’t grow to keep up with the burgeoning population of the city, Bordeleau said. The last time additional members were added to the

Kanata Rhythmic Sportive Gymnastics Club

force was 2010, said Carole Lavigne, spokeswoman for the Ottawa Police Service. The 2015 police budget will be introduced at the board’s Feb. 4 meeting. The Ottawa Police Service currently has 1,334 sworn officers and the equivalent of just over 596 full-time civilian employees. The police force was originally supposed to get 23 new sworn and civilian members in 2011 and similar increases were planned for each year for the rest of the council term until 2014. When the planned new positions were eliminated in 2011, the police services board was told the move would save $500,000 in salaries and $300,000 in training that year. Acting staff Sgt. Kenny Bryden, head of the guns and gangs unit and the direct action response team (DART), was blunt about the need for more officers. “We are in need of more manpower,” he wrote in an

email. Bordeleau confirmed a recent increase in gang activity and shootings in the city’s west end has led the police to reallocate officers from other areas of the city to the serve the west end. “We are able to shift resources where they are most needed,” he said. “It does put some pressure on certain areas, but we’re able to identify priorities and come together to deal with the problem.” The Ottawa police will focus on ensuring it has the “right resources in the right places,” Bordeleau said, and that includes shedding responsibilities such as collision reporting, police background checks and other services the police have put online or assigned to civilian employees. “We’re always looking at efficiencies and finding new ways of doing business and to see how we can focus on the service we are providing our residents,” Bordeleau said. “We are confident the services we are providing our

Police Chief Charles Bordeleau says the 23 additional employees the force was planning to add in 2015 won’t happen due to budget constraints.

residents will not be impacted by absorbing growth within the police service for the next year.” For instance, Bordeleau said the introduction of collision reporting centres has put the service well on the way to avoiding 9,600 hours of police time spent on vehicular crash reporting annually. “(It frees) them up so they can respond to higher priority calls for service,” Bordeleau said. Collision reporting centres were also expected to raise $750,000 in revenue for the police service in 2014 – about $50,000 less than originally predicted. With files from Erin McCracken.

Giant map helps reveal Canada’s true Arctic Travelling learning kit co-developed by Museum of Nature available to schools for free Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

The Canadian Museum of Nature has created a way for all Canadian children to have the opportunity to explore the Arctic -- right from the comfort of their school’s gymnasium. With the help from the Royal Canadian Geographical Society’s Canadian Geographic Education network, the museum developed Arctic

Alive: Explore the natural history of Canada’s Arctic -- a portable learning kit which includes real specimens of Arctic plants, animals, fossils and minerals and is accompanied by a giant, eight-by-11-metre floor map of the region. The museum will make the map available from Dec. 26 to Jan. 4 for children and adults alike, along with the chance to touch real specimens and discover facts about Canada’s north. Starting in the new year the project will be available free of charge to schools across the country with lesson plans teachers can apply to classes from kindergarten to Grade 12. “The Royal Canadian Geographical Society and the Canadian Museum of Nature have a long-standing

relationship – in fact it began in 1929,� said John Geiger, chief operating officer of the society. “It’s only fitting that the museum and the society have partnered on an Arctic project – one that is designed to help students from coast to coast to coast understand that the Arctic is a remarkable, varied, storied and enchanting place.� The society has developed other large-scale maps as learning tools and Geiger said they have proven to offer a powerful means to convey a sense of place. The museum’s curator of botany Jennifer Doubt has visited the Arctic many times and working alongside fellow museum senior research assistant and Arctic traveller Ed Hendrycks, the two developed the map and helped

choose the specimens to accompany it. “We have so many amazing collections from our expeditions,� Doubt said. “We wanted to bring those stories of discovery to life.� Hendrycks added this map is a learning tool which offers students the opportunity to think beyond the polar bears and whales they hear so much about. “There is so much more to the Arctic,� he said. Education programs director Sara Black from the society worked with Hendrycks and Doubt on the map and developed the kit’s learning plans. “I love the map -- I think it’s an important place to

well as types of things found in the Arctic. Fifteen minutes later she asked the students again to describe the area. “Full of life,� one student said. “Colourful,� was another answer.

Vehicles targeted in rash of overnight residential break-ins Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Under the cover of darkness, a car door opens. A thief reaches in and hits a button, watching and waiting as the garage door of the home slips open. With a quick twist of the garage’s interior door handle, the thief steps inside the darkened house. Within minutes, car keys, even a purse, wallet or laptop have been pinched unbeknownst to the occupants sleeping upstairs. Back out into the night, the thief drives off in the homeowner’s vehicle, which will inevitably be ditched along a street somewhere in the city. Concerns over a rash of unsolved car thefts during overnight residential break-ins that have plagued the city since the end of September have prompted Ottawa police breakand-enter investigators to urge homeowners to take extra steps to ensure their safety and protect their belongings. “There’s potential for something bad to happen between the homeowner and the suspect,” said Sgt. Marshall Clark with the Ottawa police break and enter unit. Since Sept. 27, investigators have been called to the scene of 10 break-ins from Kanata to south Ottawa to Orléans, most recently on Dec. 13 in the Manotick area and Dec. 14 in Centretown. In each case, vehicles have been stolen through the night while homeowners were sleeping. Eight have since been re-

covered by police. Police believe the thieves take the vehicles in order to get to their next destination. “It just happens to be a car available. They’re not targeting a specific car,” Clark said. A car stolen in Orléans on Nov. 20 and a motorcycle taken from another residence have not yet been located. So far, the “brazen” thieves have slipped away into the night without being caught and confronted by a homeowner. “And no one’s heard their garage door open yet. It’s always, they wake up in the morning, and find the car gone and we’re also missing this and this, and those things were on the main floor (of the house),” Clark said, adding that in some cases thieves have gone further into the house to search for and steal laptops and wallets. “The car doesn’t really concern me,” he said. “The problem with this one here is the potential for violence between the suspect and the homeowner. Property is just property.” In addition to calling 911 right away, he advises people to make noise to scare a thief off if they wake up and hear someone in the house or garage. “I’m sure if someone were to hear something at night and they made noise, these guys would scatter. They’re not the type to stick around and battle it out. They’re thieves – they don’t want to get caught,” Clark said. “But don’t try and do our job. If they run away, then

that’s good. It’s only a car.” The key to ensuring the string of daring break-ins comes to an end is to keep vehicles and garage doors locked, and ensure valuables, keys and garage door openers are kept out of sight. “If you lock everything up, these guys aren’t coming in,” Clark said. No arrests have been made in connection with the crime spree, but police are searching for a 20-year-old male suspect wanted in connection with one overnight break-in in which a vehicle was taken from a home on Island Park Drive on Nov. 26. In addition to stealing the vehicle, which was later located by police in Gatineau, laptops and alcohol were also taken from the residence. Break-in numbers down

These 10 cases are among a little more than 300 residential break-ins that have been reported to Ottawa police since September, representing a slight drop in numbers compared to last year. The break and enter unit investigates just over 2,000 of these crimes on average each year. “Three hundred in three months is below average,” Clark said. “It depends who’s in, who’s out and how active they are,” he said, referring to the large number of break-ins typically committed by many of the same repeat offenders. “You put the right people in “That

to ensure driveways and walkways are regularly cleared of snow so that would-be thieves think someone is home. “If bad guys are around and see a foot of snow in your laneway, and mail stacked up on your front, they’re going to target you,” Clark said, adding that using a light timer is also a good tactic. “Winter’s an easy way of finding out who’s home and who’s not home.” Clark said residents should not place large empty television boxes, for example, at the in

Family looking at all options to extend Katimavik woman’s life to spend the holiday with her kids in case she didn’t survive the treatment. But, due to her second-to-last test, she wasn’t given the chance. Headley was placed on her stomach for an MRI, and doctors detected the onset of diastolic heart syndrome – the start of the hardening of her heart. Headley was told too many patients had died during treatment because of the problem, and Dr. Burt would not go ahead with the treatment. “We were really shocked,� said Headley, “absolutely shocked as much as saddened.� She confirmed the problem in her heart with her own cardiologist, who found the hardening, had started, though it was very slight. Regardless, the potential cure was out of her reach.

Continued from page 1

Her disease has gone into remission twice, once after using antibiotics and once spontaneously. In the fall of 2014, she survived legionnaires’ disease, a severe form of pneumonia that often kills those with no health problems. Surviving the disease gave Headley hope that maybe she could do more than just manage her symptoms and hope to keep living. After learning about stem cell transplants, which have effectively cured many autoimmune sufferers including those with scleroderma, Headley thought she had a chance to cure her disease. “I thought, ‘My gosh, if I can survive (legionnaires’), I could survive a stem cell transplant,’� she said. STEM CELL TRANSPLANT

The dangerous treatment works by stripping a patient of their immune system using chemotherapy, and then using the patient’s own stem cells to re-grow their immune system from the ground up. Though it can be done in Canada, Headley found survival rates were very low, prompting her to go with Dr. Richard Burt, and American autoimmune specialist in Chicago who helped pioneer the treatment. After finding out she was a candidate for the treatment, Headley began fundraising for $125,000-plus, to cover the total costs of treatment. A month in, Headley and her family had raised $6,000, but would see a major boost in donations on July 3 from one donor.

CHRISTMAS AT HOME

Submitted

Stephanie Headley, pictured with her father, Peter, has been denied a dangerous but potentially life-saving treatment that could cure her deadly disease, Christmas spent with her children and parents is what keeps her going as the family searches for ways of extending her life. The man, wearing a page-boy cap, large sunglasses and a jacket zipped up to his chin, handed Headley $128,000 in the form of a bank draft. The donation was nothing short of a miracle for Headley and her family, she said, many of them having the same reaction: “My God, you are going to live.� But before she could undergo the treatment, Headley’s testing had to

be re-done in Chicago to make sure she could handle the treatment. After her appointment was pushed back a month due to a scheduling error, Headley went in for testing on Oct. 20. All was expected to go well, she said. Headley even planned to wait until after Christmas to undergo the procedure once her test results showed she was a go. The idea was

Several months later, the family is still reeling from the news, but are working to adjust their focus to find ways Headley can extend her life as long as possible. The family is looking at every option they can, including using cutting-edge therapies, holistic methods and homeopathic medicines. They will all look to have the same affect, said Headley – dialing down her immune system to slow the disease, while also making her vulnerable to regular sicknesses. The best case scenario is that Headley could see another remission, buying her further time with her family. But the only reason she can try

everything to keep living is the outpouring of support she received from the community, and especially from her anonymous donor whom she calls her “guardian angel.� “It’s just been incredible, the outpouring of caring and love,� said Headley. “Everybody out there, thank you, thank you, and my guardian angel especially, because these funds are going to extend my life, and right now I couldn’t ask for more. I’m so blessed. I really am so blessed.� Though Headley remains hopeful, she realizes that this Christmas with her family could be her last. Nonetheless, she is grateful to have it, she said. “Our time together is really precious and special, and certainly this Christmas in particular because, who knows?� said Headley. “I would have liked to have been given the chance (to undergo stem cell transplant),� she said, adding that she hopes her story has brought the focus back on stem cell research and what stem cell treatments can do. “Everybody is talking about stem cells now, it’s one of the good things that have come out of this,� she said. “I think the doors are going to blow wide open in what these stem cell transplants are going to be able to cure.� Though stem cells ultimately did not help Headley to overcome her illness, she said it’s a gift she hopes many others might receive. Right now, Headley said all she really needs is her family. “We understand more than anybody that this holiday isn’t about gifts, it’s about being together with family.�

OSEG lowers parking prices for events at Lansdowne 67’s, concession stand costs to also go down Staff

Based on complaints from fans, the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group announced it will lower parking rates and ticket prices for Ottawa 67’s games to make visiting TD Place at Lansdowne Park more affordable.

The entertainment group released the price changes on Dec. 16, which will see parking rates for Lansdowne’s underground garage decrease to $1.50 per half hour. The rate will be in effect seven days a week with the exception of large-scale event days that have a projected attendance of over 15,000. For Ottawa 67’s game days, the change will reduce parking rates from $15 to $9 and fans can order parking online in advance for $8. There will be no extra fees for games that go longer than

changes were based on complaints from fans about the high costs to visit the park. “You talked, we listened,” Hunt said. “Many of our Lansdowne visitors perceived

three hours and advanced parking reservations will offer drivers access to a reserved parking area. Ticket prices for 67’s games will be reduced by $4, changing the cost for a gameday ticket for an adult to as low as $18 and children’s price to $13. There will also be a change to prices at the concession stands, with a number of menu items to be priced under $5. This will be introduced in January 2015. Jeff Hunt, president of OSEG Sports, said these

that prices for parking, 67’s tickets and food and beverage services were too high,” Hunt added the changes to the parking prices are also aimed at improving the flow

of traffic within the garage. For more information about ticket and parking prices or events at Lansdowne visit Ottawa67s.com or TDPlace.ca.

Community fitness, volunteerism make councillors’ wish-lists Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley and Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson have put together Christmas wish lists for the coming year. Working to build the city’s largest outdoor fitness track in his ward sits near the top of Hubley’s list. Hubley announced his intention to have outdoor workout equipment installed at the Kanata Recreation Complex and Deevy Pines Park on Aug. 27. The equipment for the first two locations were expected to cost a little more than $100,000 coming from a cash-in-lieu-of-parkland account – money that developers pay when they do not have park space allotted for their development. The equipment would include things like benches, pull-up bars, steps and more with QR codes that link to videos with workout demonstrations. The intention is to create a fitness track “running along the Monahan Drain corridor, starting from the Glen Cairn stormwater management ponds at Terry Fox and Castlefrank, crossing Eagleson, and ending at Hope Side Road,” said Hubley’s wish-list. Another Christmas wish is to receive the plans for the proposed malls at Cope Drive and Eagleson Road,

and Eagleson Road and Terry Fox Drive. The malls will provide better access to goods and services for the community, said Hubley. Some development is also expected in the Kanata South Business Park along Terence Matthews Crescent, he said. Hubley expects to work with the owners of the park to “fully develop the area, making it more possible for people to work closer to home,” he said. Rounding off the wish-list is the Breakfast Series, which Hubley hopes to bring back in the New Year. The series will invite knowledgeable speakers to inform the community about subjects residents have expressed an interest in. Wilkinson’s list included the hope of seeing greater community support provided by volunteers to organizations such as the Kanata Food Cupboard and the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre. She asked that the community pay particular attention to “those who have difficulty coping due to infirmities, age, or special needs.” Wilkinson said she is looking forward to relaxing and recharging during the Christmas holidays, while Hubley noted that he received his Christmas present early this year – four more years in office as councillor “for the best ward in the city.”

Twin Elm Rugby Park, which has served as the home ground for Ottawa rugby since 1975, could shut its doors for good by the end of the winter if the four clubs that own the facility do not come up with $40,000. “The worst case scenario and immediate danger is that if you haven’t got enough money to pay your creditors, you get shut down,” said Andrew Bailes, the president of the park. “We have a series of costs and we don’t have the funds to cover them.” Since its founding, the park, which is run by a board of volunteers, has become the centre of the city’s rugby community and has hosted many international matches

between Team Canada and visiting sides. The current board took over in 2014 and hired a part-time general manager to turn around the facility’s finances, which were already in dire straits, Bailes said. “Twin Elm has often gotten to this point every now and then,” he said. “It has often been in a precarious financial position.” The park’s main streams of revenue are from fees the four owner clubs pay, field rentals and sales from the facility’s restaurant and bar, Bailes said. The harsh winter last year delayed the start of the rugby season in Ottawa until mid-May and caused a couple of the park’s big events to be canceled, leading to shrinking revenues and exacerbating the rugby park’s financial woes. Because of this, and despite its hiring of a general manager, the new board was not able to get the park’s books back in the black. “We just weren’t able to climb out of it this year,” Bailes said. This was not the first time the park has experienced a financial ultimatum. In 1980, the facility’s board was

20 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, December 25, 2014

given notice from its bank to either reduce its loan by $80,000, or lose the park. The four owner clubs, which are the Ottawa Beavers, Bytown Blues, Ottawa Indians and Ottawa Irish, rallied to each raise $20,000 within a month to save the facility. Hoping to recreate that success, the board has launched an online fundraising effort to raise an injection of cash needed to keep the park open. The $40,000 would go towards paying hydro bills, insurance and snow clearing, Bailes said. Twin Elm is also applying for funding from the city and the Ontario Trillium Foundation to replace its roof, a project that will cost $150,000. Those looking to donate to the fundraising effort to keep the park afloat can do so at youcaring.com/ nonprofits/help-twin-elm-rugbypark-buy-a-brick/276068.

Twin Elm Rugby Park, which is used by players across the city, is facing financial problems that threaten to close the facility down.

Storied menorah finds a new home in Barrhaven Alex Robinson alex.robinson@metroland.com

Susan Bloomfield always knew her menorah was special, but giving it away brought even more meaning to it. The Barrhaven resident, who is a Christian, has owned the menorah for decades after it was given to her great uncle, Gerhard Richel, in Holland after the Second World War, for saving the life of a Jewish family fleeing the Nazis. The nine-pronged candelabrum, donated by Bloomfield to the Barrhaven synagogue when it opened in September, was lit for the first time in decades during a Hanukkah ceremony at the Ottawa Torah Center on Dec. 16. The menorah first came into Richel’s possession after he hid a Jewish family in his attic during the Second World War, Bloomfield said. Richel had served in the Dutch resistance against the Nazis during the war and offered a safe haven for the family for years. The Jewish family gave him the menorah as a gift to thank him after the war.

When Richel died, the menorah was brought to Canada by Bloomfield’s grandfather, who had immigrated before the war. He then handed it down to Bloomfield’s mother who in turn gave it to her. “It was always in our house,” Bloomfield said. “It always meant a lot to the family because of the story behind it.” The menorah sat in Bloomfield’s dining room as a decoration for years, but she never used it. She said she told its story to her children to teach them lessons about tolerance and about the horrors of the Holocaust. As Bloomfield watched the construction of the Ottawa Torah Center from her home across the street, she felt the need to give the menorah to the new congregation. She got in contact with Rabbi Menachem Blum and presented the menorah to the synagogue in September. “Now it’s come full circle,” she said. “It’s just so nice because now it’s back at home.” The Ottawa Torah Center celebrated its first Hanukkah in its new home by lighting the menorah on the first day of the eight-day festival.

ALEX ROBINSON/METROLAND

Susan Bloomfield lights the menorah she donated to the Ottawa Torah Centre on Dec. 16. The lighting was the first time the menorah had been used in years and marked the first day of Hanukkah. “It’s quite fitting because Hanukkah is the holiday that celebrates the triumph of light over darkness and the triumph of religious free-

dom,” Blum said. “The symbolism of this story is the righteousness of Susan’s great uncle who risked his life to save

another family. This story speaks to the tremendous power that human beings have to do what is right and just.”

Harder vows to live up to her name as planning chairwoman Barrhaven councillor will focus on Official Plan, reviewing employment lands, suburb design laura.mueller@metroland.com

According to the new planning committee chairwoman, the city has been “too soft� on development applications in the past. That should change over the next four-year term of city council, said Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder – not just because she is now in charge of the committee that vets those applications, but mostly due to the city’s new and more definitive planning blueprints such as the Official Plan and the zoning to make it happen. Once that new zoning is approved in February, Harder said planning discussions will move away from the kinds of discussions that have dominated the agenda in recent years, such as neighbourhood outcry and applications that are completely out of whack with the rules. “Making sure we’re firm and having a resolve about that is going to be good,� she said. “(In the past) we didn’t have a definition that gave true parameters to how an application should be dealt with in the community and looked at in the community, or from the applicant’s perspective, a fairness factor on their side as well.� The assurance of certainty about what could be built next door and a reduction in spot rezoning are important achievements for the city’s political leadership because that’s what residents want, Harder said.

“One of the things the mayor always says is he doesn’t want to have surprises. He believes, as do I, that the public doesn’t want to have surprises, including not just the people who live in the community and work in the community, but the people who are putting in (development) applications,� Harder said. There will also be an effort for city staff to better communicate with affected residents about planning applications, Harder said. The department will be looking to shift some staffers into a new role: community outreach liaisons. “They will be the face of the meetings in the community,� she said. “This is a new way of doing this. “Some people think automatically that there is something duplicitous about the whole thing – that there are two sides to the story and they are only getting one,� she said. “It’s not that way at all.� Harder said she got along well with former chairman Peter Hume, who led the committee for 11 years. Compared to her predecessor, however, she said she is “way more passionate� and has less patience. “You’ll get a lot of honesty from me,� she said. Helping members of the public navigate the sometimes confusing meeting format and ensuring they can make their point heard will be priorities for Harder, who served as vice-chairwoman of the committee during the last term, as well as con-

Do they serve industry, government and ourselves well in those locations? Or is there a

better purpose for some of that land and perhaps we should be looking at other places that make more sense,� she said. Harder said she doesn’t have an opinion on where business parks and industrial areas should be located, but she believes in the future there will be more focus on areas that are accessible by transit. “I think we’re going to see a real evolution,� she said. A significant and important change to how the city plans and builds suburbs will also be revived early in the new year, Harder said. The project,

called “building better and smarter suburbs,� hit a snag when city staff from different departments raised last-minute concerns about some of the changes, Harder said. “If the goal is to contain that urban boundary, we have got to be ready to deliver our subdivisions in a timely fashion to prevent the need for people to come forward and say, ‘You know what? You have to expand the urban boundary because you’re not giving me anything to build on and I’ve got people who want to buy homes and we’ve got to have places for people to live,’� she said.

Kanata Kourier Staff

Grade 1 and 2 students from St. Gabriel Catholic School offered to share their letters to Santa with the Kanata Kourier-Standard and the community, sending along their wishlist to Ol’ Saint Nick and to wish Santa good luck on his trip. According to the NORAD Santa Tracker, the jolly man in red traditionally arrives anywhere between 9 p.m. and midnight on Dec. 24, but prefers to stop at houses where children are sleeping first. For more information, go to noradsanta.org.

City Councillor, Kanata North THE BEAUTY OF CHRISTMAS brightens our streets and stores with myriads of colourful lights reflecting off the white snow. It is a time for families to get together, often travelling long distances. Make this a safe holiday by driving carefully, delaying your trip if bad weather occurs and leaving your phone alone while driving. NEW ONLINE SERVICES

Through the MyServiceOttawa account you can securely access multiple City services and information at one place. It is free to set up, easy to use and is available 24/7.

OUTDOOR RINKS

Outdoor rinks across Ottawa will soon be available thanks to the efforts of many volunteers. Most rinks are managed by community groups who get a small stipend from the City in return for flooding and clearing the rinks. Thanks to these volunteers, there are rinks with boards for various activities, including hockey, and puddle rinks where no hockey is permitted. Check the City website for the rink near you and enjoy.

FILL THE KETTLE and STOCKINGS

The Salvation Army is always there when there is a need – from supporting families displaced by a fire to supporting many disadvantaged residents by addressing the issues of homelessness and chronic poverty. Annually they help more than 20,000 in Ottawa. Their kettle donations are down this year so consider them when making your year-end donations.

The Kanata Food Cupboard’s annual Christmas program provides a Christmas dinner, additional food and gifts to about 400 families this year. Thank you to many businesses, schools, churches and individuals, who ‘adopted’ more than 280 of the families and provided the food and gifts. Many of these families do work but in low paying jobs and don’t make enough to pay for shelter costs, food and living expenses. The Food Cupboard helps them by supplementing their food supplies. They do so through the support of more than 200 volunteers and donations of food and money from the community. I support them each year as a local charity that helps so many of our local residents.

St. Jerome student’s artistic talents capture attention of mayor Winning drawing featured on Mayor Jim Watson’s 2014 Christmas card Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Kaitlyn Hughes’s colourful design of 14 children holding hands as they ice skate has captured the attention of a panel of judges, including Mayor Jim Watson, who selected the winning drawing from hundreds of entries for his annual Christmas card design contest. Hughes’ artwork has since been reproduced as a Christmas card and mailed out by the mayor’s office to wish residents season’s greetings, a tradition Watson has continued since 1992. “This year, it was a really tough job to pick the best because there’s so many great artists in Ottawa,” Watson said at his city hall office on

Dec. 17. “But this year this one stood out – a beautiful rendition of a number of young people skating,” he said before he and Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish presented Kaitlyn with a framed copy of her winning entry as her proud parents, Jeff and Claire, her eightyear-old brother Troy and her grandmother Sandie Reed looked on.

“I like to see people having fun in the winter ...” Kaitlyn Hughes, Grade 6 St. Jerome Catholic School student

cil crayon drawing. She also included the city’s logo of a stylized “O” in her picture. Kaitlyn’s artistic talents never cease to amaze her mother. “She’s improved so much in the last few years,” Claire said of her daughter who has been drawing and doodling since she was just two years old. Kaitlyn has aspirations of perhaps becoming an illustrator when she grows up, something she already has experience with having created 12 drawings for an as yet unpublished children’s book written by a friend of Claire’s. For now, the young student continues to let her imagination flow onto the page whenever inspiration strikes. “She draws what comes to her. Like, if she’s reading a book (about cats), she’ll go and draw cats,” Claire said. “If she’s learning about medieval stuff, she’ll draw medieval things – whatever just happens to be in the moment at that time.”

Barrhaven rugby community rallies for 24-year-old with cancer Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

When Samantha Price first found a small lump on her right breast in September, she thought little of it. But on her 24th birthday on Nov. 18, the little bump turned her life upside down, as doctors told the Barrhaven native she had an aggressive form of breast and lymph node cancer. “In the very beginning I balled my eyes out because it was so shocking,” she said. News of Price’s diagnosis crushed her family, but their sadness was shortlived as they quickly experienced an overwhelming amount of support from friends, strangers and her father’s rugby team, the Barrhaven Scottish. Price’s father, Joe, has been heavily involved in the rugby community for years in both Ottawa and Toronto. When his rugby friends heard about the diagnosis, they quickly launched a fundraising campaign to help Price with any costs she might incur, as she decided to take a year off on disability from her job at Chapter’s to start chemotherapy treatment. “We didn’t want her to worry about finances, so she could just concentrate on getting better,” said Gary Thomas, a long-time friend of the Prices and

the vice-president of the club’s men’s program. The fundraising effort attracted support from across Ontario and raised more than $9,000 in two weeks, well exceeding Thomas’ initial expectations. Even one of Canada’s most decorated rugby players, Al Charron, donated to the cause, Thomas said. “No matter where you are, rugby is a community and rugby is a family,” he said. While Price never played rugby herself, she has memories of cheering her father on from the sidelines and working with him at the concession stand at Twin Elm Rugby Park, the home grounds for Ottawa rugby clubs. “It’s remarkable how people can be. It completely restores your faith in humanity. Everyone has reached out to me. It’s been crazy,” said Price, who graduated from St. Joseph High School. “How can I be upset? It’s been overwhelming.” Price said she was first uncomfortable about the fundraising campaign as she was not sure she wanted her story to be so public, but decided sharing her story would be important as it would help raise awareness about breast cancer. “In times like this when people

Police seek to ID suspected robber after south Ottawa bank hit Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Police are hunting a suspected bank robber they allege got away with an undisclosed amount of cash from a bank at Towngate Plaza on Halloween night. During the city’s 27th bank robbery of the year, investigators say the male suspect, who was wearing a ski mask, entered a bank in the 2400-block of Bank Street, south of Hunt Club Road, on Oct. 31 at around 7:50 p.m. Investigators say the man passed a note demanding cash to an employee, and followed up by making a verbal demand to a second employee. He then fled the store on foot with an undisclosed quantity of cash. Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, head of the Ottawa police robbery unit, declined to reveal the content of the note to protect the integrity of the investigation. “If somebody, for instance, called us and gave us a tip and was able to demonstrate that he had direct knowledge of the wording of the note then that is a tip off to us that he knows what he’s talking about,” Haarbosch said. No one was injured in the incident, and there was no indication the suspect was

armed at the time of the confrontation. The employees did everything right, according to police. “The goal is to get him in and out as fast as you can with no injuries,” Haarbosch said. Investigators only recently released images of the suspect taken from the bank’s security video system because the suspect’s face is mostly obscured by a ski mask. But police are now hoping a member of the public can identify the man based on the

clothing he was wearing at the time and possibly from the partial image of his face. “I think what we’re looking for is somebody who probably has direct knowledge of the robbery itself and will see this photo and call us or call Crime Stoppers,” Haarbosch said. The suspect is described as a black male, six-foot-two with a skinny build and a big nose. He was wearing a black ski mask, a dark hooded jacket, grey sweatpants, black

gloves and black and white running shoes. “The biggest piece of these investigations is typically just putting a name to the face that’s captured on the video to get the investigation jump-started,” Haarbosch said. There have been 27 bank robberies in Ottawa so far this year, up three over 2013. Anyone with information on the case is urged to call the Ottawa police robbery unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5116, or Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477.

The sale of the Kanata Stallions, the opening of a west-district library, an explosion during a police training exercise near March Road: 2014 was an eventful year for Kanata residents. This week the Kanata Kourier-Standard looks back at some of the most interesting stories over the first six months of 2014.

Lucinda Nowell wins Ottawa Sports Award Continued from page 31

he day of the Ottawa Sports Awards ceremony, Lucinda Nowell was stuck in a car inching along a highway, just outside Picton, Ont. Cars were lined up along the highway as far as the eye could see, as traffic struggled with blowing snow and extreme weather conditions. But the Kanata Lakes teenager wasn’t going to allow the weather prevent her from heading home to accept an award honouring her accomplishments over the past decade as a rhythmic gymnast. The trip represented more than just an award – it was a chance to see her friends from Earl of March Secondary School, and just hang out, like any other normal 17-year-old girl. Surrounded by her parents and grandparents, Lucinda attended the Ottawa Sports Awards banquet on Jan. 29 at Algonquin College.

The announcement at the Canadian Tire Centre on March 12 featured members of the Sens Foundation and their supported charities, representatives from the Ottawa Senators, as well as politicians who made the push for provincial government to allow it.

Every month the gallery has a new theme and mem-

In the coming weeks, a tree trimming crew will be in your neighbourhood to prune dead or overgrown branches that are growing in the vicinity of overhead power lines. While trees are an integral part of our communities, when they are close enough to potentially contact overhead power lines, public safety and the uninterrupted supply of electricity can be compromised. Our qualified staff and contractors will conduct this work safely and efficiently, ensuring that any inconvenience is minimal. If a power interruption is required to complete the work, you will receive advance notification. Your cooperation and understanding is appreciated as we balance the benefits of maintaining a healthy tree canopy with the needs for public safety and electricity supply reliability.

A different, memorable Christmas

L

ong ago there was a special Christmas morning. In many it was the same as others, yet it was also so very different. That special day, of course, didn’t allow for special privileges. We still had early morning chores to do, we had to have a full breakfast, the kitchen had to be cleaned up, and we had to be fully dressed, and ready for church, all before we got near the Christmas tree propped in a corner of the kitchen. The tree was always in the kitchen, even though the blasts from the old Findlay Oval caused it to shed, and leave it with pretty scant branches by the time Christmas morning rolled around. Putting up the tree in the parlour, the smallest room in the old log house was never an option. As soon as the first blasts of winter hit Northcote, the room was closed up with a rolled braided rug

MARY COOK Memories shoved tight against the door to keep out the draft, and it would stay that way until the snow was gone. So there was the tree, propped in a corner by the icebox, anchored with wires into the wainscoting to keep it from falling over. Finally, we had done the chores, had our breakfast, we were dressed for church, and Father moved over to the tree, sat down on the floor, and made a great pretense of not being able to ready the cards Santa had attached to each parcel. On other Christmas mornings, we were handed out stockings first. These weren’t the fancy red felt stockings you

could buy at the dime store -- these were Father’s grey work socks, each with a name attached to the top. No, that morning, we were handed the parcels first. There were the usual hand-knit mitts, a small book -- we always could count on a book -- and a small toy. I remember mine as if it were handed to me yesterday: it was a small game of Chinese checkers. It looked very much like the very same game I had seen in the dime store weeks before. But I was thrilled, especially when I found it wrapped inside my very first pair of long white stockings. Such luxury was simply beyond me. I had never

owned a pair of white stockings before. Finally, all that was left were the five stockings. As Father picked the first one up, he told us we were not to look inside until everyone had his stocking in his hand. It all sounded very mysterious to me, but it added to the excitement. I knew for a fact there would be an orange in the toe. We always got an orange - our once-a-year orange. When Father was sure we each had our stockings, he gave us the nod that we could dig into them. I couldn’t understand why we all had to do it at once, the stockings were usually not too interesting, but that morning, Father and Mother seemed more excited that any of us five children. The first thing we found was an envelope with our name on it. It was Mother’s writing, and the envelope was the kind we used back then, flimsy and blue lined. Well, let me tell you, when we ripped into the

was to all of us, all the way out there in Northcote. Emerson, Everett and Earl folded their dollars into small squares and squirreled them away into their Sunday pants pockets. Audrey put hers in her shoe, which I thought was a silly place for a dollar bill, but then I knew she would likely show it off to her friend Iva at church. I knew mine would go into the little drawer of my washstand upstairs, not tied in the corner of my hanky. Oh no -- it would be laid out flat under my pile of hankies, and I wouldn’t spend it on something foolish. The rest of what was in our stockings paled in comparison to our crisp dollar bills. In fact, by the time we were in the sleigh on the way to the Lutheran Church in Northcote, I couldn’t remember a thing in my stocking, except of course the dollar bill.  And the orange. May I take this opportunity to wish all of you the merriest of Christmases. And my prayer is that you will be surrounded by loved ones, and remember the true message in this joyous time of year.

envelope, you could hear the yells in Renfrew. Inside each was a crisp $1 bill. Not one of us had ever, in our entire lives, had a dollar bill. I had once been able to amass 33 cents tied in the corner of my hankie and thought I was rich beyond means. But a whole dollar in the form of a bill?  Unheard of. “Where did it come from?” I was the first to ask.  And then Mother explained it all to us.  Uncle Lou, our rich uncle from New York, the one with the big black Buick. The uncle who wore pressed grey flannels. The uncle who put the terrazzo floor in the Waldorf Astoria, had sent Mother a $5 bill, and she was to have it changed at the bank in Renfrew, and each of us five children was to have a whole dollar in our stocking. Mother laughed when she told us how she had to go into the bank with an American $5 bill, and change it into Canadian money, and how the teller had to know all about it. And I knew Mother would have told her about her rich brother in New York, and how good he

Feds install new defibrillators in three south Ottawa arenas Facilities among 40 to receive AEDs across the city

take him to the hospital. Defibrillators deliver an electric shock to a person in cardiac arrest to allow the heart to re-establish an effective rhythm. “We know they save lives,” said Greg Killough, a health promotion specialist with the Heart and Stroke Foundation. “Our goal is to have these as common as fire extinguishers.” Killough joined Corriveau, Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre, city facilities supervisor Greg Holmes and Ottawa Paramedics program manager Greg Furlong at the Manotick arena on Dec. 12 to mark the arrival of upgraded defibrillators at the Manotick facility, Larry Robinson arena in Metcalfe and Fred Barrett arena in Findlay Creek. The federal government earmarked $10 million in 2012 to place 2,000 defibrillators in arenas and other public places across the country and train 20,000 people how to use them.

Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

André Corriveau knows he wouldn’t be here today if not for a small electronic machine and a quick-thinking city worker. Corriveau was playing hockey at the Earl Armstrong Arena in the city’s east end in September 2009 when he suddenly collapsed on the ice. City worker Dana Clarke happened to be walking by the pad and noticed that a crowd was forming around someone lying on the ice. Clarke raced to find the automatic external defibrillator he had just been trained to use a few weeks before. Corriveau, then 56, was in cardiac arrest, and the defibrillator kept him alive until the paramedics arrived to

So far the Heart and Stroke Foundation, which is co-ordinating the project, has installed 1,339 of those and trained more than 10,000 people. Ottawa has received 40 new devices since the program started, and is scheduled to receive another 11. While the three arenas already had defibrillators, Killough said they have a life span of about seven years and needed to be replaced. It costs about $3,500 to install the machine, a protective cabinet and signage and to train 10 people, he said. A big part of the program is making sure city workers, arena users and members of the public know where to find the defibrillator when they need it. “It’s very nice to have, but if there’s no one there to use it, it stays on the wall,” said Corriveau, who now makes a point to locate the defibrillator in every arena he enters so he knows where it is if necessary.

And it has been; four years after his own cardiac arrest, Corriveau’s teammate had a similar emergency on the ice – and by some fluke or fate, Clarke was also there that time to administer the defibrillator. Even if Clarke hadn’t have been there, the device is fully automated and can be safely used by someone who hasn’t even received the training, Killough said. That’s a good thing, be-

cause cardiac arrest can come out of nowhere. Corriveau said he didn’t have any symptoms before he collapsed, and even when he regained consciousness couldn’t understand why the paramedics were telling him his life had been saved when he seemed to just have a sore back from his fall. “It can happen to anyone, anywhere and at any time,” he said. Killough said the Heart and

Stroke Foundation has recorded 115 lives saved across Canada with the help of defibrillators they placed in public spaces. Furlong stressed that the devices are part of a three-step plan to save someone who is in cardiac arrest: calling 911, continuing chest compressions and using the defibrillator. “It’s hands on the chest,” Furlong said. “The most important part is having someone on the chest doing compressions.”

Local school advances to final round for playground funding Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Françoise Slaunwhite was online when she found out the good news. Elation, relief and gratitude swept over her when she learned Clifford Bowey Public School, where her daughter attends school, had been named one of 20 finalists in the Aviva Community Fund competition. “We were very excited, just very excited and very hopeful that we will win enough funds that we will build a playground this summer,” said Slaunwhite, a Clifford Bowey school council parent volunteer. If the school win’s the top Aviva prize of $100,000, construction of a new fully accessible playground in the senior students’ yard could get underway this summer – years ahead of schedule. Over the course of a 10-day online voting period from Dec. 1 to 10, the school’s project – one of 700 in the contest – generated 6,299 votes from more than 2,400 people. “The support we got was overwhelmingly positive. People were really keen to help out and support us, which was really very touching,” Slaunwhite said. “It really showed how much people care about our students. “Just in terms of participating in the competition, it really helped build community for us. And it raised a lot of awareness about our school as well,” she said of Clifford Bowey, which has 104 developmentally challenged students ranging in age from four to 21. “It really did a

lot of good for the school.” The unique new $210,000 playground will feature a wheelchair accessible picnic table, a play structure with an accessible ramp, userfriendly swings and a rubberized surface. The items would replace an antiquated structure that can’t be used by every student, especially those who rely on mobility aids, such as wheelchairs or walkers, due to the sand around the structure. “It is really sad, and it will be like this until we can upgrade it,” Slaunwhite said. In addition to serving the needs of Clifford Bowey students, the replacement structure will also be available for the greater community’s use. Now, each of the finalists must wait until Jan. 27 to learn the name of the grand prize winner. A judging panel is now in the process of considering the merit of each of the Canadian projects. A second group of finalists are up for a $50,000 prize in the Aviva contest. “That’s going to be a big day. We are all anxious for that day,” said Slaunwhite. “We’re really holding our breath that we’ll be winning one of the more significant amounts.” In the meantime, Clifford Bowey staff, students and parents are relishing the feeling of making it this far in the contest. “Just being in the finals is just an amazing Christmas present for our students,” Slaunwhite said, adding that as a finalist, the school project will receive at least $5,000 through Aviva. “Every vote really helped.”

Clifford Bowey Public School has made it to the final round of the Aviva Community Fund after receiving enough online votes from Dec. 1 to 10 in the Aviva Community Fund competition in the school’s bid to win $100,000 – half of what is needed to construct a $210,000 fully accessible play structure.

50 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, December 25, 2014

Parents who live near St. Laurent Boulevard in Manor Park want drivers to slow down. To highlight the excessive speeds and need for a crosswalk in the area, ACORN members held a rally on Dec. 15 at the corner of St. Laurent Boulevard and Karen Way, holding up signs asking cars speeding by to slow down. “The most important thing is the children,” said Jasmine Robillard, a mother who helped organize the ACORN rally. Robillard wants a crosswalk at the intersection. Every day she drops her son off at a daycare in the plaza at Karen Way and then dodges across the street to catch the bus at the bus stop directly across the plaza. “There are so many close calls and when I first moved here I saw an elderly man get hit while he was crossing,” she said. The problem, Robillard said, is that aside from jaywalking, the only other option is to walk 400 metres to Hemlock Road or 200 metres to Brittany Drive to cross safely. “No one does that,” she said. Robillard said aside from the lack of a crosswalk, speeds along this stretch of road

are excessive and dangerous. “The speed limit says 50 kilometres an hour, but you see people going at least 90 km/ hr.,” she said. Robillard said she has contacted newly elected Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Tobi Nussbaum about the issue and is hopeful he will work with the group to solve the problem. Nussbaum couldn’t attend the rally because of a scheduling conflict, but did say he has connected with the community group and will meet with them in January. “I am certainly aware of the speeding and the pedestrian concerns in the area - it was made clear to me from the campaign,“ Nussbaum said. “My intention is to look at the stretch of St. Laurent between Hemlock and Montreal Road with a view to calming traffic.” The councillor added that St. Laurent is only one of the streets of concern. “There is other streets, including Brittany Drive that need to be examined to improve pedestrian safety,” he said. Nussbaum added he would also be meeting with city staff to discuss plans to narrow the lanes on St. Laurent from four to two between Hemlock and and use the extra space for cycling. For Robillard a crosswalk and slower speeds couldn’t come soon enough. “It’s really dangerous, we need approval to get something done now,” she said.

Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, December 25, 2014 53

Interim fixes outlined for community housing security Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

Police and Ottawa Community Housing are enacting new security measures in the Michele Heights community following high-proďŹ le instances of gun violence. Widespread outrage at the brazen nighttime shootings of past weeks compelled Bay Coun. Mark Taylor to hold a closed-door meeting with community stakeholders and partners to explore new measures aimed at stemming the violence. Joining the city, police and Ottawa Community Housing at the table were Crime Stoppers, Crime Prevention Ottawa, Ottawa Bylaw and Regulatory Services, the Michele Heights and Britannia Woods Community Houses, the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa, and the Pinecrest –Queensway Community Health Centre. Police have already announced

they’ve allocated more personnel to help patrol the area, giving the force a heightened visibility. Taylor described the gathering as “a good meeting, in that it got all the players around the table.� “It was a frank discussion,� said Taylor, who said police and community housing will be working together to increase the effectiveness of patrols and investigations. “OCH is installing cameras right now to monitor parking lots and alleyways where crimes are taking place,� said Taylor. “The goal here is to turn the temperature down and stop the violence from taking place.� Cameras act as a deterrent and can provide valuable information that can lead to arrests, said Taylor, adding that community housing staff will review the outdoor lighting situation in the neighbourhood to address “dark spots.� Though police have stated that gang activity connected to the drug

trade is behind much of the recent upswing in violence, the issue is not as clear cut as two warring gangs locked in a turf dispute. In most cases, the conicts that lead to shootings are between individuals, requiring the need for straightforward police work. That’s where Ottawa Community Housing can be of assistance, assuming the suspect resides on their property. Until now, both the police and community housing staff were operating outside of each other’s realm, said Taylor – incidents where police were called to a community housing unit would not become known to the housing organization. “Now, there will be informationsharing with the police – we’re going to formalize it,â€? said Taylor. “Like any other landlord, (OCH) can bring an action under the rental housing tribunal to remove the tenant.â€? Long-standing issues affecting young adults in the area – mainly a lack of employment opportunities and the appeal of gang life to some – will take more time and effort to address. A community-wide discussion on the issue can start when a public meeting is held in late January in Michele Heights.

Booth Street closure for LRT construction to last two years Kanata Kourier-Standard Staff

Another stage of the Confederation Line LRT project has begun impacting traffic on Ottawa’s west side. On Dec. 21, Booth Street was closed between Albert Street and the John A. Macdonald Parkway for a period of two years, during which time construction will proceed on the rail line, the future Pimisi LRT station (currently the LeBreton station), and a new raised bridge to span both the aqueduct and rail line. Opened simultaneous to the Booth closure is the temporary Preston Street extension,

which will carry re-routed traffic between Albert and the parkway. A multi-use pathway running along the east side of the Preston Street extension will allow cyclists and pedestrians to travel between the parkway multi-use path and the one that runs along the north side of Albert. During the closure, LeBreton transitway station will temporarily be located on the Preston extension. Some routes will be affected by this change, and details can be found at octranspo. com The city estimated that the Booth closure will run until Oct. 30, 2016.
