‘Dangerous’ bridge sidewalk closed, too narrow to plow Further work to widen walkway along Eagleson Road bridge expected this year Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

A new sidewalk along the Eagleson Road bridge over Highway 417 has been closed for the winter after city staff determined it was too narrow to plow.

Both Kanata councillors have asked that the sidewalk remain closed until the province can address safety concerns, including the walkway’s narrow width and a gap in the middle created for drainage.

“People were stepping out

into traffic (to use the sidewalk),” said Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley, “so it was only a matter of time that someone was going to get hurt.”

Construction on the bridge finished last October as part of the $86-million west end Queensway expansion project going from Eagleson Road to Highway 7. The project included repairs to and rehabilitation of the Eagleson Road bridge and ramps, in addition to constructing a median and adding the sidewalk.

Construction began in 2011 and was finished in 2014, but further work to widen the sidewalk is anticipated this year.

Hubley called the sidewalk “an error” on the part of the province.

“I’m not poking at the province for this. Errors happen,” he said. “They happen on city projects too, they happen in the private sector.”

The city has placed signs at either end of the sidewalk on the Eagleson Road bridge over Highway 417 after deciding to close it to pedestrian traffic during the winter as the sidewalk was made to narrow for plows to clear snow and ice.

along with any sidewalks, said Hubley. In this case, city road staff found their plows could not drive on the narrow path, nor would it be safe for workers to remove snow by hand.

“We don’t mind (plowing the province’s sidewalks), but what we can’t get into (is) a situation that is actually putting city staff at risk by putting them out there on the bridge and no place to pile their snow,” said Hubley.

City staff has contacted the province, said the councillors, and though no firm decision has been made, they said they believe the province is prepared to make the necessary changes, and that the work will likely be done this year.

“It’s entirely a provincial cost. It’s not a municipal cost,” said Hubley.

Wilkinson said she expects construction on the bridge to hold up traffic again, while also requiring taxpayer money to fix.

She added that she hoped city work on sidewalks leading up to the bridge might be done to coincide with the expansion of the bridge sidewalk.

is too narrow, coming in under the 1.5 metre minimum to accommodate a sidewalk plow, said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. The curb is also too tall for the plow as well as wheelchairs.

Add a cut-out near the middle of the bridge for drainage, and the walkway is “dangerous for both pedestrians and snow plows,” she said.

Despite that, residents, mostly from north Kanata, have been making use of the bridge walk during the fall, said Wilkinson, as the park and ride on the south side of the highway offers more transit options.

The sidewalk ended up being too narrow because of a large median added to the centre of the bridge and because the type of bridge cannot be widened to accommodate a wider sidewalk and, ideally, a cycle lane, said Wilkinson.

City staff were not made aware of the detailed design plans for the bridge by the province, as all bridges passing over highways are under provincial jurisdiction, she said.

But the city agrees to plow the bridges,

The city has turned down a request by Halkirk Avenue residents to reduce the street’s speed limit from 50 to 40 km/h. But the city is looking at other measures to reduce vehicles’ speeds such as improved signage, said Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley.

However, Hubley said he committed to several other potentially speed-reducing strategies, including putting up signage notifying drivers of the nearby park/playground. “We are going to take away parking on the corner (of Halkirk Avenue near Dunnet Court),� said Hubley. “Those kinds of details are going to get done, and the residents discussed the possibility of forming a Neighbourhood Watch, so if somebody is coming through

speeding, they will know the right number to call and be able to get a good police report filed.�

Hubley added that he agreed to have another speed study performed in either May or June “just to make sure that there was nothing on that particular day that might have changed the results that we should be getting.�

Hubley continued, saying traffic studies show that lowering the speed limit below 50 km/h causes drivers to disregard the

speed limit altogether. “People won’t respect those speed limits,� he said.

He went on to say that adding speed limit signage to 50 km/h streets, many of which don’t have signage, as well as changing speed limits is cost prohibitive. “I live in fear of the fact that I could have 1,000 streets in the community, all of Kanata and Stittsville, all petitioning saying, ‘I want 55 km/h, I want 58 km/h,’� he said.

The city has rejected a petition by residents of Halkirk Avenue to lower the street’s speed limit from 50 to 40 kilometres an hour.

The decision was made after measuring the speed of drivers on the Glen Cairn residential street as well as nearby Nairn Street and Kincardine Avenue over the course of two hours on Nov. 25.

The test showed that 95 per cent of drivers obeyed the unposted limit of 50 kilometres per hour, with only a few overstepping the limit by less than five kilometres an hour.

The city agreed to perform the speed test even though residents failed to collect the necessary number of signatures – 66 per cent or more of Halkirk’s residents.

Thirty six people signed the petition.

Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley, along with members of the city’s traffic department and bylaw services, held a public information session on Jan. 8 at the Kanata Recreation Complex to discuss community speeding concerns and the results of the testing. “Everybody is in agreement with the approach ‌ that we are not going to get into lowering the speed limit,â€? said Hubley. “The petition process allows people to ask the city to look at it and review lowering the speed limit,â€? he said. “In this case, we looked at it and it doesn’t, in the opinion of the traffic experts and in what I’m reading into this, it doesn’t tell me that I should be supporting lowering the speed limit.â€?

As the dust settles from the holidays, the top Christmas lights house decorators have been officially crowned by their area community associations.

Their work was on display for residents who took part in the annual Christmas lights wagon rides in Bridlewood, Katimavik and Glen Cairn from Dec. 16 to 18.

The rides, which included Bridlewood for the first time in its more than 10-year history, offered a chance to showcase some of the communities’ best decorated houses.

The winners of the Bridlewood House Decorating Contest were: • 1 Shetland Dr. in first place with a $75 gift card • 2 Nipigon Dr. in second place, winning $50 • 128 Bridle Park Dr. in third, winning $25 The winners of the Glen Cairn Community Association’s Deck the House Christmas Lights Contest were Pete Therien of 25 Melanie Cres. and Bob and Eve Maloney of 16 Winchester Dr., who tied for first place, with each winning $50.

For Therien, the idea is to spread some excess Christmas cheer with the community, he said.

“I didn’t have much of a Christmas as a kid, so this is my way of making up for my Christmas,” he said.

Therien, who has lived in Glen Cairn for about 30 years, said his holiday display has always been pretty elaborate, though he is always on the lookout for more lights and decorations.

It doesn’t cost much to brighten up the dark winter

FILE

Pete Therien of 25 Melanie Cres. in Glen Cairn was one of two winners of the Glen Cairn Christmas Lights contest, and his home was featured in the annual wagon ride in south Kanata. nights, he said - just a few dollars more a month in his hydro bill.

“When it comes to Christmas lights, I don’t think it matters how much it costs,” he said.

The Maloney’s have branched out with their Christmas display, adding homemade wreaths, tree boughs and more, said Eve Maloney.

“I think each year (the display) gets a little bigger,” she said, as she includes natural elements from her parents’ land at White Lake to spruce things up.

“It’s quite an honour (to win),” said Maloney. “We do it for people to enjoy, and obviously that has happened.”

The winners of the Katimavik-Hazeldean Community Association’s Lighten the

Night contest were: •12 Jarlan Terr.

• 16 Tamblyn Cres.

• 4 Inuvik Cres.

“As normal, we had a difficult time making choices,” said Rod MacLean, president of the Katimavik Hazeldean Community Association.

“This year, I found … there were more homes with seasonal decorations on Sewell Way, Liston Crescent and Haywood Crescent and, moreover, that some very attractive additions were made to decorations at a number of homes,” he said.

RIDE EXPANSION

The annual Christmas lights wagon ride, which searches for the best lit homes in the three communities, is looking at expanding from three to six

days next Christmas, said Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley who’s office runs the event.

The additional days will allow the wagon rides tour to explore more than one route in each of the three communities, he said.

The ride continues to be popular, said Hubley, even despite unexpected weather.

“We are talking about the middle of December and we almost got rained out of an event,” he said, referring to the night in Bridlewood. “I would never have anticipated that problem.”

Nonetheless, between 150 and 180 people came out to the event that night, said Hubley.

“I was so impressed with the residents,” he said. “They came out and they had a really good ride.”

Good start, but more needed

I

t was long overdue.

However, the sacking last week of Julian Fantino, the beleagured Veterans Affairs Minister, should be just the first step if the federal government is serious about mending fences with veterans.

The new veterans affairs minister, Erin O’Toole, has a major task ahead of him. Being a former military man himself and his reputation of being affable sort should help.

He can’t help but be an improvement on Fantino, who alienated veterans, normally supporters of the Conservatives, with his behaviour that verged on the edge of boorishness.

However, saying “it’s an honour for me to serve our veterans� and being nicer to them in face-toface meetings won’t address the many grievances that they have with the government.

O’Toole and the Conservative government have to show they are taking veterans’ concerns seriously by improving mental health services and financial support for distressed veterans. Enough of leaving

needed funds unspent, spreading out announced increases in assistance over 50 years and allowing claims to bog down in the bureaucracy.

If you don’t believe improvements are needed, ask the Royal Canadian Legion, hardly a radical organization of malcontents. In response to Fantino’s departure, the Legion said it hopes the change will bring “better action� on the issues facing veterans and their families. It pointed to three specific areas where the government needs to improve veterans benefits.

In its release, the Legion made note of the outpouring of support for veterans on Remembrance Day and urged the government and all political parties to “put the past behind and move forward to create an environment where veterans know that this country’s obligation to care for them when they need it will be met.�

Shuffling ministers and soothing words aren’t enough. The new minister and the government need to take concrete actions to take better care of veterans.

COLUMN

Make sure we’re memorializing the right thing

T

he amount of public criticism that has surfaced on the proposed Memorial to the Victims of Communism should persuade the government to give the project a rethink.

Some of the criticism has centred on the location of the memorial – a now-open space between the Supreme Court building and the Library and Archives on Wellington Street.

Some argue either that the space should be preserved as the last bit of open space on the street. Others say that the space was intended for a new Federal Court building.

If the government accepts either of those lines of thought, it should not be difficult to find somewhere else to put the memorial. A trickier question, however, is the character of

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town the memorial itself, or whether there should be one at all.

Let’s assume the memorial will go ahead. It’s probably too late, not to mention politically unacceptable, to stop it. How could the memorial be re-imagined to take into account the second criticism – that, by dealing only with the victims of communism, it neglects those who have suffered under other forms of totalitarianism?

Well, it could be called a Memorial to the Victims of Totalitarianism,

and that would bring in victims of the Nazism, it would bring in Cambodians, Rwandans, refugees from Somalia and some Middle Eastern countries, among others.

Or, and here’s what seems more promising, the memorial could put aside the notion of victimhood altogether and concentrate instead on those who have come to our shores, benefitted from and made a contribution to life in Canada. We would be celebrating instead of mourning.

We would also be in line with modern trends in the use of the language. It may verge on political correctness, but there is a movement away from the use of such terms as “suffering,� where it refers to people living with illness.

the term “victim� when referring to victims. The preference is for the word “survivor,� largely because there is a connotation of powerlessness and passivity that clings to the word “victim.�

That sounds a lot like what we have come to know in Canada, as those who came over from Hungary in 1956 or Vietnam in 1979, to take two examples, settled here, adjusted to Canadian life, had jobs and families and helped make their lives and their country better. Freedom, it’s called. Wouldn’t that be worth a memorial?

To be sure, there have been some blots on Canada’s record, but most of our history has been one of welcoming people from troubled places, helping them adjust to life here and learning to enjoy the contributions they make to our life. In the process, our large cities have become envied around the world for their multicul-

turalism.

If we are going to memorialize anything, it should be the spirit that has enabled the survival of so many who make up this country’s population and their role in keeping Canada a free and decent place.

Nurturing the teen brain

A

number of books on the subject of teen brains have topped the shelves in the last 12 months with varying theories on how to best nurture adolescence.

I don’t have kids that have reached double-digits yet, but the thought of parenting teenagers scares me.

Until a decade ago, parenting tips focused on the preschool years – how to wire our children for success in the 0-6 group, before their brains became less malleable.

But new research suggests parents and educators should be spending as much time, if not more, on how to positively nurture adolescents into responsible, healthy and confident adults.

Adolescent brains go through an intense period of development, new evidence suggests, when they make essential connections from one part of the brain to another that have a lifelong impact.

Further, the research tells us, teens’ executive func-

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse tion – which dictates, for one, how to make reasoned decisions – is not yet fully formed. It’s also the part of the brain that controls empathy, self-awareness and impulse control. All this occurs at a time when teen brains are flooded with hormones, making them susceptible to moodiness, stress and risktaking behaviour.

The decisions teens make – whether to try cigarettes and alcohol, for example, or engage in risky sports activities leading to concussion – can thus permanently code their brains toward lifelong addiction, depression and other mental health

challenges.

At a time of life known for risky and experimental behaviour, what’s a parent to do?

A recent article in Maclean’s – forebodingly titled Inside your teen’s scary brain – offers some insight.

Frances Jensen, Harvard neuroscientist and mother of two teenage boys, advocates for heavy parental involvement in the teen years, acting as your child’s frontal lobes “until their own brains are ready to take over the job,” she tells Maclean’s.

It’s one of the reasons she has a lock on her liquor cabinet, notes journalist

Tamsin McMahon.

“Your kid doesn’t see the fact that if they fail all of their classes in 11th grade they won’t be going to the kind of colleges they want to go to, or go to college at all,” Jensen told Maclean’s.

“That’s why you’re a parent.

That’s why they’re not off living by themselves. There is a point at which I think you have a moral responsibility to intervene.”

While teenagers want their space and the opportunity to exert their independence over everything from what courses to take to whether or not they pick up laundry, they may not have the reasoning capacity to make good decisions, argues

Jenson.

More than just helping kids reason things out, however, it’s important for parents to continue to encourage intellectual pursuits.

“Brain cells grown in

At a time of life known for risky and experimental behaviour, what’s a parent to do? childhood that continue to get used in adolescence form new connections, while those that go unused R0023078702

wither away,” writes McMahon in Maclean’s. She cites research from American and British academics showing that adolescents can either see growth or a significant drop in IQ. Those who experience the latter are more susceptible to psychoses, such as schizophrenia.

As with all things human, there’s no single correct approach.

Do teens need more freedom or more rules?

But as we come to better understand the development of the scary teen brain, it seems we as parents can carve out some sort of role in helping our kids exercise “the big muscle” wisely.

Mom on a mission holds Princess Party as CHEO fundraiser Disney princesses Ariel, Belle, Elsa and Anna greet children at Dominique Bouchard Petch’s Princess Party at the Richcraft Recreation Complex for CHEO on Jan. 4. The event raised nearly $3,000 for CHEO equipment as part of Bouchard Petch’s $171,000 goal.

Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

A mom from Morgan’s Grant inspired by her child’s illness delighted more than 100 little girls by introducing them to some of their favourite princesses at the Richcraft Recreation Complex on Jan. 4.

Dominique Bouchard Petch’s Princess Party was the first of what she plans to be an annual fundraiser for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, where her twoand-a-half-year-old son Liam is receiving treatment for a heart valve condition.

Petch Bouchard hopes to raise $171,000 over 18 years.

Liam was diagnosed with a heart valve condition at the age of 33 days old and required immediate surgery.

But he is now a healthy little boy, said Bouchard Petch.

Though she hopes no further surgery is needed, Bouchard Petch said ongoing tests mean that her family will be in and out of CHEO for Liam’s first 18 years.

Liam’s first year at CHEO left Bouchard Petch wanting to give something back.

“I started thinking I would like to do something to put a positive twist on this whole CHEO experience,” she said. “I thought maybe in the first year I can raise $1,000, and in the second I can raise $2,000, and in the third, $3,000 and kind of go incrementally by $1,000 every year after that.”

Though the goal seemed gargantuan, Bouchard Petch decided to go after it anyway, and began collecting donations of used kid’s clothes and toys and selling them online.

“In two months, I reached my first $1,000 objective,” she said. In her son’s second year, she reached her $2,000 goal as well.

But this year, Bouchard Petch decided to go a little bigger with her efforts, and drew on her event planning experience to put together a princess party.

It would be a chance for children not only to see some of their favourite Disney princesses, but to dress up in their own princess garb as well. That included

Earnie Sousae

Bouchard Petch, who got out her wedding dress to wear to the event.

“I created a Facebook invite and it just took off,” she said, with thousands of people interested in attending, and all the tickets sold out.

Sponsors joined in, helping to create 18 stations of activities like cupcake decorating, drawing, nail painting and Starbucks coffee provided for parents.

A ballet company joined in, said Bouchard Petch, with several dancers dressed up to perform, though perhaps the most exciting station featured Disney princesses Elsa, Anna, Ariel and Belle.

Watching the little girls at the event meet the princesses was a sight to see, said Bouchard Petch.

“These girls were throwing themselves at these princesses, hugging them, having full-on conversations,” she said.

To pull off the event, Bouchard Petch reached out to several local schools, asking for help, and received 30 volunteers from schools like West Carleton Secondary School, Holy Trinity Catholic High School and Maurice Lapointe Elementary School.

One volunteer was a CHEO baby herself, said Bouchard Petch, having had brain surgery when she was three days old.

“I met her and she was happy because

she felt like she’s done something to kind of return the favour.”

Many of the volunteers came decked out in their prom dresses or ball gowns, adding to the general splendour, she said. Even her brother came to help out wearing a prince outfit.

About 136 little princesses attended the party at the Richcraft Recreation Complex on Innovation Drive, with parents and younger siblings in tow, totalling about 250 people.

“The girls were all so excited to (see) the princesses,” said Jennifer Perlin who brought her two-year-old daughter to the event.

“It was a great excuse for (the girls) to dress up outside of the house and show off,” she said.

With the proceeds from the party, along with a little extra from her used toy sales, Bouchard Petch said she was able to donate $3,000 to CHEO this year.

But that’s not the end, she said. In addition to making the Princess Party an annual event, Bouchard Petch said she hopes to organize a superhero-themed party in May for boys and girls which should help her reach her annual goal for years to come.

“We will be back next year and so will many others I’m sure,” said Perlin.

The Oasis in Kanata to host police and caregiver session The Oasis in Kanata

The Oasis in Kanata is planning to host a police and caregiver information session at the Glen Cairn United Church on Jan. 21, starting at 7 p.m.

During the meeting, officers from the Ottawa police’s mental health unit will discuss their special training, how they handle calls related to mental health issues and their unique relationship with the Ottawa Hospital.

The four-officer unit provides a vital link between crisis calls and access to treatment that balances public safety with care and compassion for an individual in crisis, says the event’s organizers, adding they act as a resource for police officers on how to handle emotionally disturbed people who are behaving violently, or are attempting to cause bodily harm to themselves.

The unit also works in partnership with the Ottawa Hospital mobile crisis team of social workers, nurses, and psychiatrists to conduct

With a mental health professional on scene to make an evaluation, emotionally troubled individuals also spend less time waiting in hospital to see a doctor.

During and after a crisis, the unit connects members of the public with community resources and support systems, assists front line officers with cases that fall under the Mental Health Act, and works with community partners in mental health networks to identify and resolve community issues.

During the evening’s presentation, the officers will define the extent of police powers and explain when they can and should be contacted for assistance.

They will also provide guidance to caregivers about how they may assist the unit’s officers, and describe what legal rights and resources are available to caregivers. As always, the information session includes both formal and informal opportunities for attendees to ask questions.

Keeping pets safe in winter Lifestyle - We hate to see our pets hurting or uncomfortable. If it’s too cold outside for you, chances are it’s

too cold for your cat or dog, so be conscious of keeping your pet outside for too long in the cold winter months.

Here are a few things to keep in mind: • While your dog or cat may love spending time

outdoors, as the temperature drops and the windchill picks up, they should spend more time indoors. If they are left outside too long, they can end up with hypothermia or frost bite. If your pet is lethargic and not moving

around much, that may be a sign of hypothermia. Take it to the vet immediately. Frost bite is most common in ears and feet of animals – if you notice that these areas are swollen, take your pet to the vet.

• Salt can irritate the pads of the feet, so wipe their feet before they start licking and irritate their mouths. You might want to consider booties to protect your dog’s feet from the elements.

Food cupboard receives most help ever with holiday families Client with bare hands inspires new glove/mitten drive Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

This past holiday season truly was the time of giving for the Kanata Food Cupboard.

The organization, which provides free food for those in need, saw not only an increase in families needing help with Christmas dinner and presents, it saw more individuals, businesses, families and communities take part in helping those families than it ever has, said Karen Waters, the food cupboard’s client coordinator.

Each year, the food cup-

board endeavours to provide food and presents for families needing help. This year, the organization helped 405 families, equaling out to 622 adults, 94 seniors above 55 years old, 537 children ages 0-12 and 224 children ages 13-18.

That total is up from last year’s, which saw the food cupboard help 390 families.

The families are provided with food and presents through regular food donations and other initiatives like OC Transpo’s bus-filling food drive.

But other groups, be they families, businesses or individuals, adopt a family to help on their own. “This is the best year in response to adoption that we’ve ever had, and it was amazing how the community came

forward to help us,� said Waters.

The food cupboard even saw a family from B.C. adopt a family for the holidays. “That’s the farther adoption that I’ve ever had,� said Waters.

Despite these impressive givers, help is still needed after the holidays, she added.

New this year, the food cupboard is looking to put something warm on people’s hands as well as in their stomachs.

For the first time, the food cupboard is taking donations of new gloves and mittens as the coldest temperatures so far this winter hit Ottawa.

Students at Holy Trinity Catholic High School check out some of the winter sports equipment donated for the first day of a five-day Swap ‘n’ Shop event on Jan. 12. A group of Grade 7 students, along with their teacher, Marianne Graham, came up with the event, which encourages people to drop off their lightly used sports equipment so that other students can make use of it for free. The event continues until Jan. 16.

Province boosts support of non-profit social programs steph.willems@metroland.com

The Ontario government is bolstering the services of several Ottawa non-profits in the hopes of preventing residents – seniors especially – from becoming socially isolated.

Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi announced the programming grants on Jan. 8 during a visit to the Jewish Youth Library of Ottawa. That library, located on Switzer Avenue, will receive $10,000 to provide a senior’s networking and education workshop series.

The money will be drawn from Ontario’s seniors community grant program.

“I’ve heard from many seniors groups on a regular basis that they don’t need a lot of money – they need a small amount of money to do targeted programming for their seniors,” said Naqvi.

“More and more seniors are active, and they want more engagement within the community. It gets tougher, especially in the winter months … to do things. When seniors are active and healthy and networking, they’re not facing as many health challenges – they’re that more vibrant.”

Also receiving provincial funds are the Ottawa Sui Yi Multicultural Arts Academy, which will put its $3,000 grant towards brush painting classes.

The $2,450 awarded to the Yet Keen Seniors Day Centre will be put towards a healthy eating program, while the $1,870

going to the Ottawa Chinese Community Service Centre will deliver seniors exercise programming.

Devora Caytak, executive director of the Jewish Youth Library, quoted the famous words of the Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson in describing the advancement of age.

“The soul never ages – it only becomes more vibrant,” said Caytak. “To shunt the elderly aside is not only cruel, he added, but foolish. The faster

our world changes, the more we need the experience and wisdom of our elderly friends and relatives.”

Caytak said the lectures, talks and workshops planned by the library are a way of “acknowledging the wisdom and experience and knowledge that our seniors are endowed with.”

The Ontario Seniors Grant Program has been sourced for 16 projects in Ottawa, totalling $111,401 in grants.

Kanata to celebrate great Scottish bard Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

Thank You! I would like to thank our Police Services, By-law Services, and other municipal services for their continued effort to keep our community safe. It is important for community members to also play a role in the safety of our community, by continuing to report matters of concern, in order for the appropriate authorities to enforce accordingly, and ensure that our community remains one of the safest communities in our City. A great way to become involved in creating a safe community is starting a Neighbourhood Watch program.

Neighbourhood Watch Program Neighbourhood Watch is a program to help neighbours watch out for neighbours. It aims to get citizens involved in discouraging and preventing crime at the local level. The ultimate success of Neighbourhood Watch depends largely on a commitment to cooperation between area residents and the police - and more importantly, between residents themselves.

To find out if a Neighbourhood Watch exists in your neighbourhood or to start a new one, contact your local Community Police Centre. Your Community Police Centre can provide you with more detailed information, basic start-up assistance and resources. You can find more information about your local police centre at: http://www.ottawapolice.ca/en/contact-us/CommunityPolice-Centres.asp .

Kanata Food Cupboard The Kanata Food Cupboard is looking for donations of new gloves and mitts to offer their clients in these cold temperatures. If you would like to donate, please drop off at their warehouse located at 340 Legget Drive door #46, Monday to Friday 9am to Noon or at any of the grocery store bins located around the Community.

Congratualtions A.Y. Jackson’s Jr. Basketball team went undefeated last weekend to claim the Gold Medal in the St. Pius High School Tournament. The team, lead by Coach Adam Hanson played against some stiff competition but through steady team play they emerged victorious with a perfect 4-0.

Congratulations to all the players! Well Done!

Upcoming Events Wednesday, January 21st : 7 - 9 pm, at The Oasis in Kanata: The Police and the Caregiver. Free, no registration required. All welcome. Location: Glen Cairn United Church, 140 Abbeyhill Drive, Kanata. For information, Email info@TheOasisKanata.ca or visit www.TheOasisKanata.ca.

the Scots strong,” said Sharpe.

“It’s such a wonderful dish.”

Known for his poems and songs depicting the life and honour of Scots, as well as political commentary and interest in Scottish folk music, Sharpe said the reason for Burns’ popularity comes down to his support of the common man.

“He was a farmer and so a lot of his poems are about how important the everyday person is, what a good life it is, sort of singing the praises of just your average person, and it resonated with people, which is why his songs and poems have lasted for hundreds of years,” she said.

Week in Review

When winter is hitting hard and the holiday season is past, there is no better pick-me-up than the annual celebration of Scottish bard Robbie Burns, said Sherry Sharpe of Sherry’s School of Highland Dance.

Sharpe and her school are organizing one of two Robbie Burns nights on Jan. 24 in Kanata.

The highland dance school’s event takes place at Glen Cairn United Church, while the Kanata legion is holding another at the legion at 70 Hines Rd. Both events follow the long tradition of Robbie Burns celebrations, with bagpipes, traditional dancing, and, of course, the haggis.

A central part of any Robbie Burns event, the haggis is introduced by reciting Burns’ poem Address to a Haggis written in 1786. As part of the presentation, the speaker stabs the haggis with a large knife.

“The poem is all about how strong the Scots are and how this haggis is good food and makes

One of the mainstays of any Robbie Burns event is welcoming the haggis by reciting Robbie Burns’ poem, Address to a Haggis, and finishing it off with a stab from a knife. This year, the Kanata legion and Sherry’s School of Highland Dance are holding a pair of Robbie Burns nights on Jan. 24.

Lapensee. “They don’t have to have a tartan to wear, they can come out anyway, of course,” she said, adding that tickets must be purchased in advance.

Lapensee described the event as entertaining and informative.

“It’s a sociable thing and it’s an education for those who don’t know about Scotland and Robbie

Burns.”

DEALS YOU LOVE

FOR LESS

When the bridge was restored over the past 3 years it was to include a sidewalk along the west side. What was built is too narrow for sidewalk plows and has a drainage cut through it, so that it could not be maintained throughout the winter. For safety reasons it has been closed for the winter. Staff are working with the Ministry of Transportation to have it finished as a sidewalk, but that cannot be done in the winter.

HEAD START FOR YOUNG WOMEN IN OTTAWA NETWORK Thursday Jan. 22, 7 pm, Councillors’ Lounge, City Hall A Jan. 22 event at City Hall will continue last year’s program for women from 16 to 24 to learn about politics and how they can become involved. Women of all ages are invited to hear about the Head Start Program through presentations by myself; the Honourable Madeleine Meilleur, Attorney General of Ontario and MPP – Ottawa-Vanier riding; and Catherine McKenna, Federal Liberal Candidate in Ottawa Centre. There will be a question and answer period as well as a networking session. This is a great opportunity for all women and I appreciate the Minster for making herself available for this special event. Please contact my office for more information and to confirm your attendance.

FIND OUT ABOUT RADON GAS Monday Jan. 26, 6:30 pm, Beaverbrook Library, 2500 Campeau Drive At this meeting, Health Canada will present information about radon gas, which is the second-leading cause of lung cancer. You will also hear how to measure it and how to deal with it if levels are high. Radon gas is widely present in the ground throughout much of Canada. It seeps into houses through tiny openings.

Some high readings have been found in homes in Kanata, so this is your opportunity to ensure that your home is safe. This session is open to all.

NEW HOTEL PRESENTATION - A Hilton hotel is planned for a site off Campeau Drive in the Kanata Town Centre. A presentation will be made at the January 19th Town Hall Meeting at 7 pm in the Kanata Senior’s Centre, 2500 Campeau.

DID YOU KNOW? That when the Queensway was extended to Kanata in the 1970’s the Ministry of Transportation planned to have it exit onto Teron Road, which would then be widened to 4 lanes and used as the Trans-Canada Highway! How the community dealt with it is one of the stories I am preparing. What stories do you have to tell? Send them to me and I will get them compiled as a social history of our communities. They can be past or present and from any part of Kanata. The collection of stories will be presented to the Beaverbrook Library for keeping in the Kanata Room.

Both Robbie Burns events will seek to infuse Scottish knowledge and fun into attendees, said Sharpe and Lorraine Lapensee, organizer of the Kanata legion’s Robbie Burns dinner.

The two events will include the reading of Burns poetry, Scottish trivia and traditional dancing as well as dance lessons.

At Glen Cairn United Church, dance presentations will be performed by Sherry’s Highland School of Dance, Alana MacPhail and Friends as well as the Royal Scottish Country Dancing Society which will lead the dance lessons.

The Glen Cairn event will take place from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. with tickets available for purchase.

The legion typically sees between 80 and 100 people attend its event, which has a history of more than 15 years in Kanata, said Lapensee.

Those who attend are encouraged to wear their family tartans, and those without can wear a Robbie Burns tartan, she said.

“Everyone is welcome,” said

From left, Jesse and Lisa Wilton and their son James Huras check out their new kitchen in the CHEO dream home in Manotick after it was announced the West Carleton family had won the hospital lottery’s grand prize on Jan. 7. home is located just south of the village of Manotick, in Minto’s new Mahogany development. It’s a far cry from the cramped 1,200-square-foot home three of the four family members live in now.

R0732275076

“Oh my god.”

“This is incredible.”

“Look, look, look!”

Sounds of utter disbelief echoed through the CHEO dream home in Manotick on Jan. 7 after Lisa Wilton and her family won the hospital lottery’s grand prize that afternoon.

It was the family’s first time seeing the home, having bought the ticket in Kanata for Wilton’s birthday.

“I’m a little overwhelmed,” said a tearful Wilton. “You can’t top this birthday present.”

The good luck couldn’t have come at a better time for the West Carleton family, who was happy to say goodbye to 2014 after a tough year.

Wilton’s father was diagnosed with inoperable liver cancer in March and died at the end of April. A week and a half later, the family’s 13-year-old dog died, as well.

“And then the truck died, and then another car died, and then money problems from all that,” said Wilton, who added they’ve been trying to sell their Woodlawn home since June. “Obviously 2015 is trying to show off.”

26 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, January 15, 2015

West Carleton residents shocked to win $1.7M prize The dream home is fully furnished – complete with a home theatre room, massive kitchen, heated floors and toys like kayaks and bikes. Wilton’s two adult sons, James, 20, and Josh, 24, were especially impressed with the basement rec room, which includes an exquisite bar area, pool tables and outdoor lounge. Her husband Jesse was most impressed by the kitchen – especially since when CHEO foundation members first called, they thought they had won something small, like a slow cooker.

“I would have been happy with the crock pot,” Wilson laughed.

As part of the grand prize package, Wilton also takes home $100,000 in cash, a 2015 Cadillac ATS luxury car, house cleaning for a year and $5,000 in groceries from Farm Boy. In total, the package is worth $1.7 million.

But in spite of all that, Wilton, an educational assistant working with special needs students at St. Isidore Catholic School in Kanata, said her favourite part was receiving a painting from Sophie, a nine-year-old CHEO patient who wrote a note on the back of her artwork thanking the family for buying a ticket in support of the chil-

dren’s hospital.

CHEO Foundation president Kevin Keohane said the whole point of the lottery is to change lives: those of the winning ticket holders, but also those of the patients at the hospital. The fact that Wilton already does that as part of her day job makes her prize all the more poignant, Keohane said.

“We’ve struggled ... it’s tough sometimes,” added Jesse. “(Wilton) deserves good things, and eventually karma

comes around in the right way.”

The lottery campaign brought in record profits this year, earning just over $3 million for the hospital. The tickets sold out for the first time since 2011, although Keohane said it’s always close to a sell-out. He speculates that ditching the spring lottery this year to focus only on the fall likely helped push ticket sales over the top, along with the second-annual 50/50 draw which this year raised more than $500,000 in

profits.

Ottawa resident Kosta Pezoulas won that draw, taking home more than $520,000. The lottery’s second prize went to Carol and Charles Nagy, who took home $100,000 cash, a 2015 Hyundai Genesis, a seven-day Eastern or Western Caribbean Cruise for two and a $10,000 gift certificate for Jubilee Fine Jewelers.

The foundation also added a new “hurry up to the Grey Cup” incentive that sent several early ticket buyers to the Grey Cup game in British Columbia earlier this fall.

Thousands of dollars more in prizes were announced Thursday, Jan. 8 at dreamofalifetime.ca. A list of winning ticket numbers is posted on the website.

City seeks torch bearer for Pan American Games Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

City staff are on the hunt for a torchbearer to represent Ottawa in the Pam American Games torch relay.

The torch will be lit in a ceremony in Teotithuacan, Mexico, and make its way to Canada on May 30. The relay will then feature 3,000 torchbearers in

a 41-day journey, and end up in Toronto on July 10 for the Pan Am Games opening ceremony.

Helping to find the torch bearer is one of the first jobs of new city sports commissioner and Innes Ward Coun.

Jody Mitic’s.

“I don’t think I have the last say, but definitely my opinion will matter,” Mitic said, adding the final selection will

likely be a group decision. “I’m looking for someone who is an example to the rest of us, and who is known as the kind of person who we will be proud to see (carry the torch).”

Despite several comments from residents on social media that he should apply to be the torchbearer, Mitic laughed and said he would “never” put his own name forward.

The city’s press release said that a community leader, local celebrity or role model could be nominated. They must also be a Canadian citizen and be at least 13 years of age.

“We want to celebrate a hometown hero with the honour of carrying the Pam Am flame in Ottawa,” said Mayor Jim Watson in the release. “The torch relay is an opportunity to showcase our

Mayor Jim Watson talks to reporters at city hall after meeting with Ottawa Police Chief Charles Bordeleau on Jan. 12 to discuss the city’s recent increase in gang violence.

City needs better ‘exit strategy’ for gang members: Watson Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

A few days after Ottawa’s first shooting in 2015, Mayor Jim Watson said the city needs better services to provide gang members with an “exit strategy” to break out of their criminal past.

The mayor said he is prepared to work with the city manager to find funding in the city budget for a new program that would help gang members get back on their feet after they leave jail.

“One of the gaping holes

that we have is we don’t have a plan in place through John Howard or other organizations for a so called exit strategy when these people get out of jail,” the mayor told reporters at city hall on Jan. 12 after a meeting with Ottawa Police Chief Charles Bordeleau , Ottawa Police Services Board chair Eli El-Chantiry and MPP Yasir Naqvi.

“What do they do? Many of them go back to their old gang activity,” Watson added.

The mayor held the meeting to discuss the city’s recent

rash of gang related violence, after Ottawa saw a record 49 shootings in 2014.

The new year has not brought much relief from gang violence, as a man was shot on Riga Private in the city’s west end on Jan. 10, in what police said was a gangrelated shooting.

Police had originally said the victim only had non-lifethreatening injuries, but later said his health had deteriorated and he was now in critical condition.

One year ‘spike’ in shootings not necessarily a trend: mayor Continued from page 33

Despite the rise in the number of shootings, Bordeleau has said he will not be requesting more police officers in upcoming budget discussions.

He has, however, increased patrols and redeployed resources to double the number of investigators working in the guns and gangs unit.

Bordeleau said while police are committed to fighting the problem, a comprehensive long term solution is needed, which would include an exit strategy for gang members.

“Enforcement and suppression needs to be part of the overall gang strategy,” he said.

“There is a gap in dealing with the young male adult coming out of jail or being arrested by the police service. There are no services out there that are there to support them in trying to get out of the gang.”

The police chief and mayor called the recent rise in shootings a “spike,” that they intend to monitor.

“This is a one-year spike. It doesn’t mean it’s a trend. In fact, the overall crime rate in the city of Ottawa is down,”

Watson said.

Watson said he wanted to reassure the public that Ottawa is still among the country’s safest, despite the record number of shootings last year.

“There are going to be no words that are going to be able to comfort people in communities that have seen gun violence on their streets or the parks or outside of school, but we can do our best to address peoples’ peace of mind that we are committed to working on a holistic solution,” the mayor said.

Emerson finds use for leather leggings

F

or my sister Audrey and me, the big box sitting in the middle of the kitchen floor held as much excitement as picking potato bugs on a hot summer day.

It had come that winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day, after we got the call from the CPR station that it had arrived, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be mighty pleased if Father would come in and get it out of the way.

Rarely, if ever, was there a thing in the box for Audrey or me. Aunt Lizzie had two sons, and so the hand-me-down box was always filled with things like serge suit coats, often missing the pants, breaks, and an assortment of half worn out shoes. Occasionally there would be an old dress of my aunts, and Mother always felt it her duty to make it over into something wearable for Audrey or me. Sometimes, there would be something of value that would cause my three brothers a free-for-all as each tried to lay claim, but that was rare.

And so that night, crisp and cold outside, with the wind blowing gusts against the windows, we were cozy inside the old log house. Audrey and I watched from our position at the kitchen table, Everett take the crowbar to the wood lid and pry off the top of the hand-medown box.

On the top was the usual array of odds and ends. Halfway down into the box, Everett pulled out two odd looking ob-

MARY COOK Memories jects that very much resembled long spats. I was very familiar with this fashionable bit of menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothing, because Grandfather wore grey felt ones over his shoes, which I thought was just about the classiest bit of menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wear I had ever seen. Certainly, not one of the farmers in the Northcote area wore spats. But what Everett hauled out of the wood box wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made of felt. And they were much too long to be spats.

They were made of soft, rich brown leather.

Everett turned them over in his hand a couple times, and suggested they looked like they might be put on a horse in the cold weather. Mother got out of her chair and snatched them away from Everett. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those are genuine leather leggings,â&#x20AC;? she said with awe in her voice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I used to see them on young lads in New York all the time. Must admit, I have never seen them out here, though.â&#x20AC;?

She turned them over and over in her hand. She held them out at armâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s length across the room, but in front of each brother. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What a shame, I doubt they will fit any one of you.â&#x20AC;? And she went on to tell us how only the very wealthy in New York wore leather leg-

gings. Emerson, ever willing to be classed as just a cut above average, suggested they would be just fine to wear to the Northcote School.

Mother looked at the brother who at 12 stood just under six feet tall, and whose muscular legs were as round as a stovepipe. She assured him they would never go around.

She had left her chair and gone over to Emerson to hold the leggings up to his outer calf. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll miss closing by a good four inches. Too bad. Such beautiful leather.â&#x20AC;? And she set them aside, no doubt already wondering how she could make them over, or who of the less fortunate cousins would fit into them. For the time being, they would be packed away.

The next morning, which was unusual for him, Emerson was already downstairs in the kitchen when the rest of us came down for breakfast. Father had already gone to the barns.

And there Emerson sat in Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chair by the stove, with his feet up on the oven door, and the leather leggings covering his shins from knee almost to his ankle. His breaks fitted tightly at the top, and his short gum rubbers somehow looked awfully out of place on his leather covered legs. Mother of course, hurried over to the stove to see how he had made them fit. Audrey and I were right behind her.

Clothes from relatives were a treat Continued from page 35

Well, that Emerson was a clever one alright. He had taken the laces out of Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work boots, and with a wide gap between the eyes and the hooks of the leggings, he had laced them up. Bare leg showed where the leather should have met, but it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look like that mattered a whit to Emerson. He got them on and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all that was important. Now, one would think Emerson would feel self conscious about going off to the Northcote school in something as foreign as leather leggings that no one would ever have seen before in their lives. But not my brother Emerson. And so off he went to the Northcote School, in the dead of winter with the leather leggings. He was sure everyone would be very impressed.

Eighteen pairs of eyes

scanned him up and down, and he almost looked like he was giving a history lesson. Emerson said what the leggings were for, and how the very well off people in New York wore them all the time. He made no apology for the fact they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meet even half way around his leg.

I expected trouble from Cecil.

But one look at Emersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost six-foot frame, and there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as much as a snicker.

Well, everything came to a head at recess when Miss Crosby ordered us all out of the school. It was a bitterly cold day, and by recess, the wind had worked up to a frenzy, and there stood Emerson bundled up like someone from the North Pole, but his legs as bare as a badger where the leggings didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meet. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t long before he was shaking from head to toe, and my sister Audrey said she was pretty sure

he would have pneumonia by the time recess was over. Fortunately, Miss Crosby let him back into the school before she rang the bell.

As luck would have it, Father had to go to Briscoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Store that afternoon, and he came around by the school and we all climbed onto the sleigh for the ride home. Emerson was saved from walking home in the snow with almost-bare legs. When we got home and Emerson took off the leggings, and the marks up his legs from the tight laces looked like railroad ties. Nothing was wasted in those Depression days, and Mother wrapped them in tissue paper, put them in the upstairs trunk, and announced she was sure she could find a use for them some day. Emerson was going to have to think of some other way to impress the kids at the Northcote School.

Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, January 15, 2015 39

Sold-out gala to take place at Fairmont Château Laurier Continued from page 31

More than 40 have already rented the homes, which are available for $50 per night, for any number of reasons: domestic issues, families that need a place to stay while a child is treated at CHEO, a family crisis or the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current home becomes unsafe. The fully furnished homes can also be used by out-of-town relatives.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really so that the families donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry,â&#x20AC;? Villeneuve said.

New daycare centre

In addition to providing respite, emergency and casual drop-in child care at the centre, the MFRC, located at 330 Croil Pvt. on the former Uplands base, recently became licensed to provide a full-time daycare five days

a week.

Following a lengthy licensing and renovation process, the Playtime Platoon Childcare Centre opened on Nov. 21 with a preschool program for children ages two and a half to five. There are 20 spots, four of which are blocked off for military families in need of emergency childcare for the day.

A toddler program, for ages 18 to 30 months, will launch in February.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is designed for (Canadian Armed Forces) families, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we have the 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. schedule,â&#x20AC;?

Villeneuve said, adding the new service provides options for military families.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s common for both spouses in a family to be military members, which can be challenging. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When both parents are called out (for a deployment), what do you do before you can get grandma flown in

from Halifax?â&#x20AC;? Villeneuve said.

The needs of families of deployed personnel who may not live close to the MFRC and its new daycare are also a priority â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they can be reimbursed $50 per month for child-care expenses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about being responsive to the needs of the military community,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The support needed is evergrowing.â&#x20AC;?

Roasted squash, quinoa salad is a tasty and healthy dish Quinoa is not only nutritious, but also great for a make-ahead meal. Its taste and texture make it perfect for lunch the next day as there’s nothing to go soggy.

Preparation time: 15 minutes.

Roasting time: 30 minutes.

Serves eight.

Ingredients

• 750 ml (3 cups) peeled bite-size chunks, butternut squash • 15 ml (1 tbsp) each olive oil and maple syrup • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) each salt and ground cumin • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) cayenne pepper •125 ml (1/2 cup) quinoa • 150 ml (2/3 cup) slivered red onion

Dressing:

• 45 ml (3 tbsp) each lemon juice and olive oil • 1 clove garlic, crushed • 125 ml (1/2 cup) chopped fresh mint • 50 ml (1/4 cup) each coarsely chopped hazelnuts and dried apricots • 25 ml (2 tbsp) pumpkin seeds (pepitas) Preparation

In a large bowl, stir together the squash, oil, maple syrup, salt, cumin and cayenne, and then place the mixture on a baking sheet. Roast in a 200 C (400 F) oven for 15 minutes, then stir and roast until tender, 10 to 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a sieve, rinse the quinoa very well under cold water. Place in a medium saucepan and add 250 ml (1 cup) water.

Cover and bring to boil, then reduce heat and simmer until quinoa is tender, about 15 minutes. If any water remains, drain it away. Cover the quinoa and let it stand for five minutes, then fluff with fork. In a large bowl, place the squash, quinoa and red onion and let it cool slightly.

For the dressing, whisk together the lemon juice, oil and garlic in a small bowl and pour it over the salad. Add the mint, hazelnuts, apricots and pumpkin seeds and toss to coat.

The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
