Coalition calls on city, Waste Management for transparent negotiations Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

A new group is calling on the city to halt its closed door negotiations with Waste Management.

The Coalition for Landfill Accountability (COLA), comprised of nine community associations, wants transparency while the city negotiates the host municipal responsibility agreement with Waste Management for the expanded Carp dump.

“Right now it appears that most

of it is being done in secret, in back rooms; it’s difficult for communities to know what’s being negotiated,” said Harold Moore, one of the members of COLA. “What’s being negotiated may be quite acceptable – we just won’t know what it is.

“The coalition, which is a number of community associations around the landfill, wants to be involved and know what’s going on and be included.”

No charges in restaurant crash: police Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

A female driver wasn’t charged after she “mixed up” her pedals and drove her vehicle into the Greystone Grill restaurant in Constance Bay on Nov. 22, said Ottawa police.

The driver drove her vehicle into the wall near the building’s entrance causing a portion of the brick to fall away.

“It was a driver that mistook the pedals and hit the building,” said Ottawa police spokesman Const.

Marc Soucy, adding there were only “minor damages” to the restaurant.

The incident happened around 2 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 22, said Soucy, adding there were no charges when asked if the driver had been drinking.

A little bit of whimsy

Carp’s Denise Burnham of Carraigmor Creations is an outdoor fairy garden consultant. She helps people create a ‘little bit of whimsy’ in their own backyards, she says, such as this tree stump turned fairy house.

Burnham was one of many vendors at the inaugural Christmas craft fair for the West Carleton Food Access Centre, held Saturday, Nov. 21. See page 31 for more photos.

‘We want to know what the city’s negotiating on our behalf’: COLA The site plan control for the West Carleton Environmental Centre was approved by city staff on Oct. 28, but work can’t begin on the site until 38 conditions are met by Waste Management.

One of the conditions is the host municipal responsibility agreement that addresses a number of local concerns, including community compensation, odour management,

property value protection, groundwater safety and traffic impacts.

In 2001, an agreement was negotiated by the city and Waste Management “completely behind closed doors,” said Moore. “It didn’t serve the community well, it didn’t address the issues.”

This time around, COLA wants the city and Waste Management to consult and include residents and community associations in the negotiation pro-

cess as it’s happening, instead of after the contract is drafted.

“One of the issues that seems to impact most of the people around the site is what’s called community compensation,” said Moore. “It’s basically an amount of money that’s provided by Waste Management to the local communities for different things the communities might want. It could be a park, a splash pad, as compensation for having a landfill in our backyard.”

In the old agreement, community compensation funding was put into a pot and left up to the area councillors to decide how the funding was applied, Moore said, adding the compensation “was very, very weak” and many residents didn’t know the funding was available.

“This time around we’d like to have a little more transparency so communities know the funds are there,” he said.

“We want to have our say.

Driver mixed up pedals: police Continued from page 1

“The female driver just got her pedals mixed up and hit the building,” he said.

The new owner of the restaurant, Alain Bertrand, said on Monday he didn’t want to comment on the incident since the insurance adjuster hadn’t inspected the damage yet.

“I just want to keep it quiet right now,” said Bertrand, adding he was unsure how

long the restaurant would be closed while repairs are made.

The Greystone Grill posted a photo on Facebook just after the incident with the caption, “Due to a car acci-

dent this afternoon, the police have advised we cannot be open due to structural issues that are unsafe for our guests - we will be closed until repaired. Sorry for any inconvenience.”

It was then reposted to

We want to know what the city’s negotiating on our behalf.”

Other issues COLA is concerned with include odour management, traffic impacts and property value protection.

The group wants to ensure the negotiations live up to what the community was promised, said Moore.

“The EA (environmental assessment) says the odour issues will be fully controlled,” he said. “If that’s what they’re promising, then that’s great. We want to hold them to account.”

The Environmental Assessment approval for the Carp landfill was granted by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment in 2013.

So far, a number of community associations have agreed to be part of COLA, including Stittsville Village, Huntley Manor, Richardson Corridor, Crossing Bridge, Fairwinds, Jackson Trails, Southwest Stittsville, Kanata Beaverbrook, and Ward 5 Citizens Council.

Kinburn teen chosen for NAC musical role Jessica Cunha

up at school by 2:45 p.m. every afternoon to make the 4 p.m. rehearsals downtown.

The Grade 8 student, who is also a member of the Ottawa Youth Orchestra and Ottawa’s Junior Thirteen Strings, is no stranger to gruelling schedules and takes advantage of any free time she can to ensure she doesn’t fall behind in any of her other commitments.

She completes her school work in the car during the long drives to and from rehearsals every day.

“I talked to my teachers about it and they all understand the situation that I’m in,” Charlotte said.

Sandra is incredibly proud of her daughter and her ability to keep on top of her obligations.

“Charlotte works hard at everything she does,” she said. “She’s so excited because it’s all the things she loves to do.”

Sandra added that Charlotte has a number of concerts with the Ottawa Youth Orchestra that she’ll be performing in, and has already started studying to audition for her school’s production of the Lion King.

“By some miracle the concerts miss the dress rehearsals,” said Sandra.

“She’s already looking ahead to her audition for the school musical. She’s going to be very tired by the end of it all. I’m just happy that she’s happy.”

ARNPRIOR'S HISTORIC THEATRE R0473070948/1126

Charlotte Van Barr is no stranger to the stage. The 13-year-old has been performing in dance and violin competitions for years.

But this December she’ll make her professional acting debut at the National Arts Centre in the NAC’s production of Anne and Gilbert: the Musical.

Charlotte was selected for the role of one of the students of Anne Shirley, also known as Anne of Green Gables, through an invite-only audition process. She’s been in six-days a week rehearsals since landing the role, preparing for the holiday production run of Dec. 1 to 19.

“It’s a really nice environment to be in and really welcoming; all the age groups are involved together,” said the Kinburn resident. “My favourite part – everything about it is just amazing – the singing and dancing and acting. The instructors are really positive and they’re really good with working with kids and adults.”

Charlotte’s first experience acting in a musical was in Stonecrest Elementary School’s musical production of The Little Mermaid where she landed the coveted role of Ariel.

“I think it’s the idea of sharing what you’ve practiced and seeing what people’s reactions are,” she said about the enjoyment of adding musicals to her reper-

toire.

“I don’t usually get stage fright, but this might be different because it’s such a big audience. We’ll have to wait and see.”

Anne’s six students will be played by 12 Ottawa youth who will take turns performing on alternate nights. NAC spokesman Sean Fitzpatrick said that for young performers, roles in the theatre’s holiday productions can serve as a gateway to future stage work.

“Two of the young children in Anne and Gilbert were in our production of Sound of Music two years ago,” he said. “It’s been great. Sometimes young actors come back to the NAC, and sometimes their experience takes them into another field, like dance instead of theatre.”

The production is based on the second and third novels of Lucy Maud Montgomery’s series about the feisty redhead. In Anne and Gilbert, Anne is an independent young woman beginning her first teaching job in a oneroom school house on Prince Edward Island amid unfolding romantic complications with her childhood sweetheart Gilbert Blythe.

Charlotte rehearses at the NAC Monday to Saturday, four to eight hours a day (“It’s going to increase once we get closer to performances,” she said) with the other 20-plus cast members of Anne and Gilbert.

6 West Carleton Review - Thursday, November 26, 2015

462537

Concussion talk includes science, personal experience Growing up in Corkery in the 1990s, Misha Costescu played plenty of competitive hockey and soccer.

He was so highly-skilled at soccer that he made it to the provincial level. And he was a well-rounded young man, getting good grades at school. He even attended Bell High School’s gifted program.

It isn’t a stretch to say Costescu was the model child, talented and driven: almost invincible.

Now he knows better.

“I was kicked in the head (playing soccer) in 1995. I was out for two months. It was the first of many concussions I would suffer,” he told a crowd during a Nov. 18 presentation on the topic.

“I’ve had at least six concussions. It’s way too many,” Misha said to those on hand at Venta Preparatory School. “I’m worried about what the future holds.”

A father of four between the ages of 10 months and 13 years, Costescu has done well for himself. He obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in human kinetics from the University of Ottawa. He earned a teaching degree from the same.

He landed a job at Venta – located close to Carp - as a physical education teacher in 2001.

A big family, great job, able to live and work near the community he grew up in.

Some would say Costescu has it all. But what he doesn’t have any longer is the approval of his doctor to play the sport he has dedicated most of his life toward.

“This year they told me no more sports.

No more soccer,” he said. “The last one was called ‘minor’. That’s a term we must get rid of. There are no minor concussions.”

He doesn’t have certainty regarding his health, either. Although it wasn’t brought up during the presentation, which focused on kids’ health, Costescu’s future is in jeopardy.

At least one study have linked concussions from as long ago as 30 years to early onset Parkinson’s disease. Older athletes who had suffered from concussion experienced a thinning of the cortex in the same part of the brain that Alzheimer’s affects.

Before introducing the science expert, Costescu talked defined concussion as “a type of traumatic brain injury that is caused by a blow to the head or body, a fall, or another injury that jars or shakes the brain inside the skull.”

He showed a provocative video of a brain made of Jello smashing against the side of a plaster skull after the ‘forehead’ hit the palm of a hand. It wasn’t a hard blow, but

Ward 5 West Carleton-march Draft City BuDget 2016 taBleD On November 12, the draft City of Ottawa budget for 2016 was tabled at City Council. The draft proposes to continue investments in active transportation, affordable housing and economic development. It also caps the residential property tax change at 2 per cent and provides reasonable cost-saving measures that do not affect front-line services. The proposed tax revenue increase is 1.75 per cent for City and Police services, which translates to a 2 per cent increase for a residential property.

To provide feedback on the draft budget, residents are welcome to register as a public delegation at any of the standing committee, commission and board meetings, which are taking place through to Monday, December 7. A full listing of these public meetings is available on ottawa.ca. Residents can also provide their input via email at budget2016@ottawa.ca, on Twitter using the hashtag #ottbudget or directly to me at eli.el-chantiry@ottawa.ca. The budget will rise to City Council for consideration on Wednesday, December 9. For full information on the Draft 2016 Budget, visit ottawa.ca/budget2016.

EDITORIAL

Don’t blame the refugees

T

he horrific massacre in Paris has rightly prompted worldwide condemnation.

However, it’s just the latest attack on innocent civilians by a group that has twisted the teachings of a respected religion to try to justify its own warped political ends.

In the face of such barbarism, it’s easy to lash out in anger and seek revenge by trying to “bomb ISIS into oblivion,� but that would only victimize more civilians.

It’s also easy to give in to fear and over-react by blaming all Muslims, including the refugees trying so desperately to find sanctuary from the despotism and civil war that spawned ISIS in the first place.

There were several ISIS bombings last week, with many of the victims Muslims. The indiscriminate multiple killings that shook Lebanon and Iraq are just the latest in a long line of vicious attacks in those countries. And no wonder people are risking their lives to escape Syria with the civil war killing more than 200,000 civilians, many of them children, in the last four years.

Yet petitions have been circulating around social media since the Paris shootings demanding Canada renege on its plans to accept 25,000 Syrian refugees because of security concerns.

Such scare-mongering doesn’t make much sense.

Certainly, Canada and other nations accepting refugees should do due diligence when screening newcomers. But to suggest that people trying to flee from ISIS will suddenly become terrorists in their new countries is illogical.

As shown by the killings of soldiers in Ottawa and Montreal last fall, it’s the home-grown terrorists and malcontents, not immigrants, we have to worry about.

If we’re to stop all Muslims coming to Canada because of the atrocities of ISIS, then should we have prevented the Irish from moving to the country because of the terrorist acts of the IRA or the thuggery of the Ulster Defence League? Or should we have banned all German immigration because of the crimes of the Nazis.

There is a saying floating around the Internet suggesting that ISIS is to Islam what the Klu Klux Klan is to Christianity. While the analogy isn’t perfect, it does show the dangers of tarring a religion with the brush of its extremists.

The refugees are trying to escape the terror of ISIS. We shouldn’t let the fanatics, criminals and thugs that kill on that renegade movement’s behalf scare us into turning away those trying to escape their inhumanity.

A bar by any other name

T

his particular neighbourhood is in transition, and every time you look there are new stores in places where old stores used to be. You would miss the old stores if you could remember what they were.

A general rule of thumb is that in trendy neighbourhoods, stores that sell useful things are replaced by stores that sell things that look nice. Also, there is coffee everywhere, and even some tea.

Coffee is probably a good thing.

It is nice that people have a place to hang out. They get out of the house and visit with friends, which is way better than staying at home looking at Facebook. Also, logic dictates that if more people are drinking coffee, less are drinking booze, and society benefits.

It is interesting to look at the names of the new stores and what struck me on this particular walk was the number of places that had the word “bar� in their name but weren’t bars.

sushi bars. But here, in the space of a couple of blocks, there was a pasta bar and a vegetarian food and juice bar. There was also Hair Lounge and Blow Dry Bar. We are in desperate need of a theory to explain this. It is far too simplistic to say that a place is called a bar just because it has a bar people sit at.

To begin with, it should be noted that there was also an actual bar — that is, a place where people go to drink alcohol — that was called a bar. So that confuses things a bit.

But there were other bars that were not called bars.

In fact, when you think about the bars you go to, not many of them are called bars any more.

They are called pubs and taverns and bistros and lounges.

Is this all being done simply to confuse us? Perhaps. There is a theory that the more confused a shopper is, the more likely he is to spend money on something just to regain his sense of identity. That’s why shopping malls used to hide their clocks and their washrooms.

But more likely, there is something in the word “bar� that store owners think we will find attractive.

You can’t think of anything less bar-like than a vegetarian food store, but maybe people will be more likely to want to hang out in one if it is named after a place people like to hang out — namely, a bar.

If this theory is correct, it follows that we will soon see muffler bars, dental bars and income tax preparation bars. Just belly up.

City not practicing what mayor preaches with drainage project These are not the words of residents who for the past seven months have been requesting information on the project but have been subject to stone-walling and misinformation by city staff .

Eventually the only recourse for residents was to obtain the requested information under the Freedom of Information Act. No, these are not the words of the select few residents who were informed “as a courtesy” of the plans to dig ditches and install culverts outside their homes to fix spring thaw and surface ponding issues which city staff could not properly define, as they lacked any engineering data characterizing the ponding problems But these are comments from the city mayor himself in an article from the Oct. 26, 2015 Citizen in reference to the project to construct the Memorial to the Victims of Communism.

So how is it that city staff

and our councillor for West Carleton are failing to practice what the mayor believes is how city staff and elected representatives should engage the public.

Is Ottawa City not also guilty of the same electorate insensitivities as what the mayor accuses both provincial and federal fovernment of practicing in their relationship with himself, City bureaucracy and Ottawa residents.

Our Councillor, Eli ElChantiry, stated in the April 22 edition of the Sun “… that public consultations aren’t required in cases like this (a $1.63M project) and that the town meeting he held on April 13 was a courtesy on his part.”

However just recently the CBBCA executive have come out against the lack of public consultation on this very same project.

Our councillor needs to press pause and then reset on this drainage project.

He needs to quickly convene a public information session with Constance Bay residents where the project scope and project implementation details are set out.

This is past the stage where communication is “a courtesy,” but is demanded as a case of necessity.

Our councillor needs to execute on our mayor’s expectations of how public servants interact with taxpayers.

Again quoting our Mayor “… It’s not a choice that you can or can’t pay for your property taxes. You have to pay for them, and my view is we have that obligation to be fiscally disciplined.”

I have stated in a letter to our councillor and city staff on April 16: “My comments are directed to the proposal for the Sunning Hills/Stiver Road/Bayview Drive area, and though I applaud that The City is finally getting around to addressing the surface water issue in the Sunning Hills

how he expects government institutions to work with the public.

Isn’t it time that local government representatives and city staff put into practice what is being preached.

area, I firmly believe that the proposed solution is over-engineered and not the best use of taxpayer revenue.”

And since that letter, the City and our councillor have failed to engage in any productive discussions on this project.

The mayor has stated

To the Editor: “I told them in very blunt terms that this project should be put on hold.”

“We should have a proper consultation with the broader public not just inside … and seek greater consensus.” (He) noted that there is virtually no public support for the (project) in question. He also criticized the group for its poor record of public consultation.

“I wasn’t being rude but I told them, ‘This is a case study in how not to get the community onside’.”

“You’re taking what should be a positive event … and turning it into a very negative event because of the process, or lack of process, you followed to get us here.”

No these are not the words of Constance Bay residents who are up in arms due to an ill-conceived and ill-defined Constance Bay Drainage Project currently on hold due to in-ground service location issues.

Food bank appreciates community support

an already dedicated group To the Editor: As we wrap up our first of volunteers, but the client full year in our positions as list was growing and our fundraising co-ordinators food costs were increasing.

We introduced some new for the West Carleton Food Access Centre (food bank), initiatives and continued we would like to thank the with some old traditions. community of West Carleton The Carp Farmers’ Market and the surrounding area, for welcomed us this year with a permanent home for an intheir generous support.

It has been an amazing formation booth. The booth was open every Saturday year!

We knew when we took morning from May-October on the task of fundraising for and staffed by volunteers, the food bank that the need including many of our local was great. We were joining high school students. A dorobertpanekcr@yahoo.ca

nation box and a food drop-off box were an integral part of the booth.

Throughout the season, market staff and volunteers helped with our various fundraisers: ‘Maple Syrup on Snow’ at the Easter Market, the ‘Strawberry Social’ in July, fundraising at the ‘Garlic Festival’ in August, and a chili ‘Harvest Festival’ in October.

CFM vendors and volunteers supplied food, supplies and labour at all of the events.

Following tradition, our local parish welcomed the WCFAC into their booth at the Carp Fair.

We sold soup, cookies, cof-

fee and gallons of lemonade all weekend.

We welcomed new volunteers and met many of the returning volunteers who make volunteering at the fair booth part of their family tradition. Again, most of the supplies, including the coffee, were donated. Among our ‘firsts’, the ‘Load the Hay Wagon’ food drive was held in June and volunteers came out to collect donations and load boxes of food on the wagon.

Another ‘first’ was the Christmas Craft Fair held last weekend and once again, over a dozen volunteers stepped forward to help.

We were overwhelmed with donations for the Secret Santa shopping area; and chili, soup and baked goods for our lunch menu.

Vendor donations and a beautiful quilt completed the raffle table.

We were encouraged by the success of these fundraisers to make them an annual event.

We are getting ready for the busiest time of year. There will be parades, food drives, Christmas hampers and our move to a new home at the West Carleton Community Complex in Kinburn.

Many of our local businesses, community associations, churches, schools and neighbours will get involved.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to this amazing community

To the Editor: Thank you for writing the article about the loss of Ms. Dorion’s pet geese (West Carleton Review, Nov. 12).

It is such a sad story. The optimist in me hopes that it may cause others to think before shooting.

Pour confirmer votre présence et pour de plus amples renseignements For more information and to RSVP

to Ms. Dorion. Please relay my deepest condolences to her.

Geese are very special animals, and often misunderstood or dismissed as dumb or ‘nuisances’. To the contrary, they are incredibly devoted mates and tirelessly committed parents for the 12 or so weeks until their off-

spring can fly.

They are particularly tolerant, kind and even helpful to other species. As your article notes, this occurs and is apparent even in captivity.

We humans can learn much from their example.

Please remember: all monetary and food donations must be made in West Carleton to stay in West Carleton. We are not part of the Ottawa Food Bank.

There are no big box grocery stores within our boundaries. As a result, we have set up food donation boxes in West Carleton at local businesses and churches.

Pam Ross, Karin Smith Fundraising co-ordinators West Carleton Food Access Centre joy many bird species - particularly the larger ones, and geese remain among my favorite.

In Ms. Dorion’s case, as your article shared, they were her companions, her comfort after her human companion left this world. I remain so very sorry for her loss.

To the Editor: Carp Dump II has just passed the Environmental Compliance (ECA) and the so-called ‘West Carleton Environmental Centre’ is now all but certain.

Frankly, I am more than just a little surprised how little I’ve read about this inevitability.

When the first Dump was opened in Carp the early ‘70s, it was essentially for local use and it was in the middle of nowhere. And now present day, some 40 years later, the new dump (which will be beside the old one) happens to be in the middle of growing suburbia, and for the use of all of Ontario.

Look, we all know that garbage happens.

What is necessary is a well laid plan that is environmentally sound and economically viable.

The City of Ottawa’s performance in this area …. frankly stinks.

Plasco and Orgaworld were both whiffs of legendary proportion, and yet here we are continuing to move forward without a viable 30-year plan.

Operating without a plan continues to cost us money and will have

a negative effect on some of our residents’ quality of life. It could also harm our environment, and it will devalue property.

I think we all know that landfill is not the answer. It’s the way of a bygone era. No one wants them except the companies that make a fortune operating them.

Yet, despite lingering complaints about the first dump, the City of Ottawa is on the verge of adding two more landfill sites. We already have four! By comparison; Toronto has none.

That’s not very green for a supposedly very green City.

In 2007 members of the community challenged an environmental approval at the landfill and negotiated a settlement agreement with Waste Management and the Ministry of the Environment. Part of the Settlement Agreement was Waste Management’s promise of transparency and an open communication with the Public. Thus the CLCLC (Carp Landfill Community Committee) was formed.

I personally tried to get involved in the process, yet was denied a position on the board of the CLCLC for

what seem to be political reasons, and am the only applicant who continues to be kept on the outside looking in.

Despite that, I made the effort to keep up on this topic. However, I quickly discovered it was impossible to follow. Minutes of meetings are painfully lacking, and posted on the CLCLC website often four months late. Who could follow this?

I believe the CLCLC has failed to keep us properly informed as was promised in the original settlement agreement.

Unfortunately, I also believe we can look forward to this same murky ‘transparency’ with the new PLC (Public Liaison Committee), which is the Community Advisory Board, for Carp Dump II. By the way, these meetings ‘are closed’ to the public.

It is for this reason that I am happy to announce that W5CC (Ward Five Citizens’ Council) has added our name to a growing list of those who have endorsed ‘The Coalition for Landfill Accountability’ (COLA).

There are now nine different community organizations in the mix in backing COLA.

Landfill is not the way of the future, but unfortunately, it seems to be the way of our City. Sadly since it seems inevitable, our neighbors should be properly compensated in the Host Agreement which is currently being negotiated behind closed doors.

Moving forward, transparency is a must, and clearly our neighbours should all be entitled to live in an environment that is clean, safe and healthy.

West Carleton Review - Thursday, November 26, 2015 11

Among birds there are bullies and thieves Over the millennia, birds have been used as symbols.

Some have been used to represent peace (doves) while others have symbolized happiness (bluebirds).

When it comes to wisdom, it seems that no other bird epitomizes that human trait better than do owls.

Then there are ravens.

While some societies held those birds in high esteem, in others, the black birds represent death.

Recently I was looking out over our lake and noticed a huge raft of Common Mergansers. The ducks numbered around a thousand and

Overhead the ducks was a siege of gulls. Now, “siege” is a term that is usually applied to herons, but in this case, I think that the word is most appropriate for gulls because of what those birds were doing.

There were Herring, Ringbilled and Bonaparte’s gulls swooping down at the ducks whenever they emerged after a dive.

Like mergansers, gulls are fish-eaters, and while the ducks sometimes drove small fish near the surface where they fell victim to the gulls, the gulls sometimes tried to snatch the mergansers’ hard earned prizes from their bills.

After moving back and forth across the water for half an hour, the ducks near simultaneously took flight and disappeared down the lake, perhaps in search of MICHAEL RUNTZ better hunting grounds. These Common Mergansers were part of a flock numbering about 1,000.

if she has to (although we hope she doesn’t).

Anastasia was very pleased to discover that there actually was a pan of lasagna at her baby shower. And I ran out last week to get her a pair of Ugg-

punch before she sat down.

Many of the things she received were hand-made, and some barelyused items were handed down. The Wiggins family is pretty well equipped now, and that baby can come today

R0013566200_1126

I bought a carton of cream with the expiry date of Jan. 9, 2016.

As I read the date, I realized by the time this cream expires, my granddaughter will be born. Baby season is ramping up around here on the Fisher farm.

Saturday was Anastasia’s surprise baby shower. I am truly amazed that we managed to keep it secret all this time. We had a little help, because she was a bit preoccupied.

Earlier in the week, Annie got a call from one of her husband’s friends.

They were planning to kidnap him for a Baby Bachelor Party. Apparently this is a thing.

Around 1:30 in the afternoon on the 21st, the Wiggins were sitting in front of the TV, watching an old Anthony Hopkins movie. They were just getting to the scene of a bear attack when four men, their faces covered, entered the house from four different doors.

It was a bit of a shock, but not all that terrifying, because although they were wearing hockey masks, they were also carrying cheerleader pompoms. And one of them was in a Scooby Doo costume.

Anastasia, who was in on the whole thing, concentrated on keeping their four hunting dogs from attacking the intruders.

Andrew was manhandled out of the house and into the driveway. Then the men revealed themselves to be his hunting buddies, and his heart rate went back to normal.

I was just happy to hear the whole thing hadn’t gone horribly wrong – the last guy who was kidnapped for his bachelor party was taken naked from the shower. One of his abductors ended up with a broken nose.

I think if you’re going to plan this sort of thing, it’s a good idea to have the subject’s partner in on it so they can run interference. Anastasia made

sure Andrew was out of the shower and dressed before zero hour when the kidnappers arrived.

And if the partner is pregnant, as in the case of Anastasia, it is more reason to ensure she is in on the game.

Otherwise she might panic and go into early labour, and no one wants that to happen.

So Annie had plenty to talk about when I picked her up to take her “boot shopping.” That’s what I told her, anyway.

She said she was suspicious about the plan, and wondered if it might be a ruse to get her to her surprise baby shower. But when I suggested I would make lasagna for dinner and invited her to join us, she was scratching her head again. She didn’t consider lasagna a typical offering for a baby shower.

But she didn’t realize I had about 30 people coming late afternoon, and they would be coming and going to and from work, so I planned a pot-luck dinner. Everyone was bringing something. I made lasagna.

People started arriving at the farm at 2 p.m. I took off to get Annie at 2:20.

As per the plan, I left my cell phone at home. She was so excited about The Abduction of Andrew, she just kept chattering away and I doubt she even heard me when I said I had to go back home to get my phone before we could go “boot shopping.”

She was still re-enacting the events of her afternoon when we pulled into the driveway and she saw the pink balloons the Farmer had tied there.

“Oh, Mom!” she said, finally cluing in. There were so many cars, we had to park in the hay field up the drive.

She was crying before we even got in the door.

We played a couple of games with our guests, while the little mama sat in her decorated chair of honour and opened her gifts, for two hours straight. It’s a good thing she grabbed a plate of sandwiches and a glass of

style boots for her swollen mama feet, so she had that surprise as well.

Just over a month to go until the due date. Christmas will be the second most important thing happening around here this holiday season. www.theaccidentalfarmwife. blogspot.com email: dianafisher1@gmail.com

Effect of neonicotinoids on amphibians topic of naturalists meeting FACT: The wood frog is the most widely distributed amphibian in Canada and is found in every province and territory, including throughout Ontario.

FACT: Pesticides in water and air ecosystem can and do affect the health of fishes, amphibians and birds - organisms that are harmless or useful to the ecosystem.

FACT: Amphibians are susceptible to environmental contaminants due to their permeable skin, dual aquaticterrestrial cycle and relatively

rudimentary immune system (Kerby et al., 2010).

FACT: Neonicotinoids have become the fastestgrowing class of insecticides globally.

So, what are the effects of neonicotinoids on amphibians like wood frogs, especially those living close to agriculture?

Come to the next Macnamara Field Naturalists Club meeting, where Dr. Stacey Robinson, a research scientist at Environment Canada’s National Wildlife Research

Centre in Ottawa, will give the answers.

Robinson, who grew up on a hobby farm near Russell, Ontario, has examined the health impacts of neonicotinoid pesticides on aquatic ecosystems by studying the sub-lethal effects on amphibians, specifically wood frogs and northern leopard frogs.

His presentation is entitled Neonicotinoids and Their Effects on Amphibians.

It will be held Tuesday, Dec. 1 at 7:30 p.m. in the Arnprior Curling Club. Meetings

(and presentations) are free for club members and $5 for guests.

Note: This is the club’s Annual General Meeting. Club business will precede the regular agenda of sightings and the presentation.

Find more information on the Club and its activities at mfnc.ca.

Bees are not the only species threatened by neonicotinoids. So are wood frogs.

The legislation aims to mitigate the significant social, economic and ecological impacts of invasive species. Its provisions: give Ontario the tools to ban the possession and transportation of certain invasive spe-

and enforcement measures.

The province says it will continue to work with key partners to educate the public and address the growing threat

invasive species pose.

Kanata businesses shine for international leaders Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Vibrant, strong, specialized – businesses in Kanata North’s business and technology park shined for a veritable who’swho from the international stage.

About 30 ambassadors, high commissioners, foreign investment officers and ministers representing more than 20 countries, toured a handful of businesses on Nov. 12 as part of the inaugural Kanata North International Tour and Dinner,

hosted by the Kanata North Business Association.

“There’s people (here) from different countries that really didn’t know that we have here,” said Kanata North Coun.

Marianne Wilkinson. “And we’ve shown a sample of it today. It gives them an idea that these things are here and that there is a very vibrant, strong technology group here that is doing world-class things.”

After the U.S., the U.K. is the single largest destination for Canadian investment, said Howard Drake, British high

commissioner to Canada. “It speaks for itself.”

However, the tour provides another opportunity to make important connections between political representatives and business leaders.

“A big part of what the British government – our offices in this country – do is about promoting British business and looking for opportunities for British business,” Drake said.

Many of those businesses featured on the tour and situated in the Kanata North

business park already have a strong presence in the United Kingdom, including Wesley Clover, Solace Systems, Nordion and the Better Software Company.

“And one of the things that we want to do is make sure that they know what the U.K.’s got to offer, if we can assist them,” Drake said. “And also, frankly, hopefully find some other countries that are interested in doing business over there.

“For a lot of Canadian companies, there is a disposition to think of the U.K. as a place to

expand if they’re going to go and expand,” said Drake. “We’re here to try to help them.”

COSTA RICA

Likewise, Roberto Dormond-Cantu, Costa Rica’s ambassador to Canada, said he has been engaging with Kanata’s business community since arriving here less than a year ago.

“When I started researching about Ottawa, I found Kanata – the Silicone Valley of Canada,” he said, citing the reason why he chose to live in north Kanata with his family.

His tour of Solace Systems proved eye-opening.

The company makes hardware and software message routers that move information in real time between devices, applications and users around the world.

“Costa Rica’s IT sector, software sector, is also booming,” Dormond-Cantu said. “And I believe there can be joint opportunities for joint business development with the businesses in Kanata and Costa Rica.”

During the tour, he connected with reps specializing in medical equipment, which proved exciting since Costa Rica’s number one export is medical technology.

“We have more than 70 companies,” he said.

“So we believe there are opportunities to come to Costa Rica to look for opportunities and investment.”

The Canadian federal government also recognizes it has an important part to play in helping facilitate these partnerships.

Kanata-Carleton MP Karen McCrimmon said she was already aware of the potential that is in Kanata’s tech park.

“I knew the skills and

the talent that is resident here in Kanata,” she said during the tour of Solace Systems. “I think we now have a government that believes in the development of an advanced knowledge-based economy.

“And I want to get on board and help make that happen,” she said. “All it needs is some support, some networking, and I think we can help make that happen.”

COLLABORATION

She said one problem with the previous government was that everything was done in silos with little to no collaboration when it came to technology, employment and energy sectors.

“We all need to talk,” she said. “We need integrated solutions where all those different elements are considered in the decision-making process.”

Canada needs to become “a smart nation” when it comes to energy and transport, among other industries, she said.

“The capabilities and the talents that we have right here can solve a lot of the challenges that we’re going to face,” McCrimmon said.

Wilkinson said Ottawa also needs to become “a smart city.”

“There is such a tremendous variety of industries here,” she said, adding that Matthews has told her much of the work being done by his companies in Kanata are underutilized at the local level.

For that reason, she said she has been talking to the city’s IT department head about the fact that “we need to showcase what is happening in our own business park and support them by having them demonstrate that there is a real-life use of their technology.”

West end churches take on pair of Syrian refugee sponsorships Group unsure what to expect as new government works towards higher immigration goal A refugee sponsorship group made up of seven churches in the Kanata and Stittsville communities has decided to move ahead with a pair of Syrian refugee sponsorships that could see an individual and a family make their way to Ottawa.

At a recent meeting, the Kanata Stittsville Refugee Sponsorship Group decided to pursue the sponsorships through two different channels – one called the blended visa office referred program, is co-funded by the Canadian government and consists of refugees preapproved by Citizenship and immigrant Canada officials.

The sponsorship group plans to use that process to sponsor a family of Syrian refugees, and currently expects the process to take three to six months before the family arrives in Canada, said the sponsorship group in a news release.

The second sponsorship will be done by identifying one or more individuals through people already in Ottawa who have qualified through the United Nations High Commission.

That way, the group hopes to help someone not fortunate enough to be near Canadian officials and get onto the referred list and who might normally have been overlooked for sponsorship, said Grant Dillenbeck, committee chair with the Kanata Stittsville group.

“In that case we are choosing an individual because a lot of times people say, ‘Well we want to help a family,’ and a lot of times the 20- or 30-year-old individual doesn’t get chosen,” he said.

The process is expected to take a year or more.

The group is taking on the new sponsorships despite already being in the process of five other sponsorships supporting families and individuals from Afghanistan and Iran, said Dillenbeck.

“When the Syrian situation came along, we had already committed much of what we had already raised to those sponsorships. However we did want to make an effort and so we decided to do a sponsorship through each of the two primary methods,” he said.

The new sponsorships will cost about $10,000 for the fam-

ily, as the federal government will pay for half the cost, said Dillenbeck, and about $20,000 for the individual. “We would cover the entire cost of that sponsorship,” he said.

However Dillenbeck said the group is confident that, with the support of the churches and future fundraisers, it can cover the cost.

“We tend to be relatively cautious in moving forward in not wanting to overextend ourselves with regards to these commitments, not just financially, but also the time it takes to be supportive,” he said. “But certainly if other resources become available we would pursue more sponsorships.”

So far, the sponsorship group has not seen a large spike in support in relation to the Syrian refugee crisis, said Dillenbeck.

But he said in the past, once the individual refugee or family that the church group will sponsor has been identified, a swell of support follows.

Just how much the new federal government will do to achieve its goal of taking in 25,000 Syrian refugees by the end of this year has caused both optimism and uncertainty for

groups like the Kanata Stittsville Refugee Sponsorship Group, said Dillenbeck.

“It’s a laudable ambition and we applaud the ambition and if there are enough resources put in place, then we hope that could happen,” he said. “We keep hearing that’s going to be expedited and we have no way of knowing how much that can or will be expedited. It really depends on the number of resources that are put into this.”

As for whether Syrian refugees represent a security concern, Dillenbeck said that is a concern for some people, but not for him. “I guess it’s one of those situations where I would like to know the number of times that the government can prove that (a real security problem) has happened.

A lot of times people throw these things out as a fear without any kind of statistical evidence to say that it’s an issue.

Carp youth team offers gift wrapping to raise funds for PEI trip Staff

Get your gifts wrapped and help a Carp youth team raise funds for a trip to PEI for a five-day conference.

The Anglican Parish of Huntley youth group will offer gift wrapping at St. James Anglican Church in Carp on Saturday, Dec. 5 from 10 a.m.

to 2 p.m. Wrapping prices range from $1 to $5 per gift.

Funds raised will help the youth team pay for a trip to PEI in August 2016 to attend the Canadian Lutheran Anglican Youth Conference, “a five day event that brings together over seven hundred youth from across Canada to talk about how young people

can participate in justice and service throughout our country,” said Reverend Monique Stone.

“All community members are invited to bring the gifts that they need wrapped – maybe gifts that are purchased the craft fairs going on in the Parish Hall and at the (Carp) Fairgrounds that very day.”

Our history is your history ‘Our history is your history’ is one of the tags on the information at the Fitzroy Township Historical Society’s table, with Pat Tait and Betty Dowd, at the Kinburn Christmas Craft and Gift Sale on Saturday, Nov. 14.

Roadside memorials must come down after six months: committee Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

The city’s transportation committee passed a motion on Nov. 4 that would require roadside memorials and ghost bikes, white painted bikes in memory of cyclists who have been killed, can only stay in place for six months.

Staff’s original recommendation was three months, but councillors amended the proposal to double the amount of time to six months.

Currently, there is no allowance for any roadside memorials, but that hasn’t been enforced.

“It’s something that, unfortunately, became very obvious as a result of hearing my community from all sides over a number of years,” said Coun.

David Chernushenko, specifically referring to ghost bikes. “There’s a lack of process in terms of members of the public using public space for what was initially a spontaneous memorial, going over many months, and then over several years.”

Two delegations attended the transportation committee to present the “yin and yang” of the issue, Coun. Keith Egli said.

For Old Ottawa South resident Tim Farr, the memorials are both an unregulated use of public space and a safety hazard.

He said it’s been hard for people who support the city’s proposal to speak up in his neighbourhood because it’s such a sensitive issue. There is a ghost bike located at Bank Street and Riverside Drive as a memorial to Meg Dussault, who was killed on July 30, 2013, after a cement truck struck her as she rode her bike.

“It’s perceived as being disrespectful and minimizing the tragedy that took place,” Farr said. “It’s sort of ironic that a memorial that is intended to focus attention on the legacy of the victim becomes a source of controversy in the neighbourhood.”

But the area is congested and he said the ghost bike can be distracting, especially this year when it was decorated for St. Patrick’s Day. He said a better idea would be to erect a smaller plaque.

Another delegation also talked about the bike at Bank and Riverside, but Tina Belanger, who was a close friend of Dussault, looked at the issue in a different light.

She said the city lacked sensitivity in dealing with families who are grieving, and didn’t do enough consultation regarding the time limit.

Staff were directed to shape the policy based on best practices from other Canadian cities, not through public consultations.

“These people are sensible and intelligent and deserve a broader discussion,” Belanger said. “This will surely bring sadness to many family and friends ... it’s provided a place to find peace.”

Belanger said she doesn’t view the ghost bikes as hazards, and sid they serve a wider purpose by making people stop and think about safety.

Coun. Scott Moffatt, in response to Belanger, said that allowing any type of memorial on public allowances could mean some people are faced with memorials they don’t want.

He gave the example of if a drunk driver ran a stop sign and crashed into someone else’s laneway, and the homeowner had a memorial placed just outside their property line on the city allowance.

“If someone dies in their front yard, that person has to relive that moment every time they leave their home,” he said.

Coun. Catherine McKenney objected to the motion, and said she thought a period of a year would be a more suitable allowance as six months is too short a time frame.

“These memorials are powerful symbols and they have become part of the grieving process,” she said.

Coun. Bob Monette also raised concerns, specifically to do with some

File

This ghost bike at Bank Street and Riverside Drive is a memorial to Meg Dussault, who was killed on July 30, 2013, after a cement truck hit her as she rode her bike. The city wants to govern how long ghost bikes such as this one, and other roadside memorials, can remain on public property. memorials where there will be annual flower memorials on a site.

Under the new bylaw, memorials could not be reinstalled after Public Works removes them.

Memorials would be reported through bylaw, and the city would remove them six months after they first become aware. Staff said the process was designed to be lenient rather than having staff monitor and create a database of all memorials.

It would only affect city streets, and not any memorials on NCC property.

Chernushenko said he has also been

working with the brother of cyclist Danielle Naçu’s who was killed in an accident to try and find a spot for a permanent memorial to cyclists killed in traffic in Ottawa.

The committee passed the motion, but it still must go to city council as a whole before it takes effect.

“I’m very unhappy we need this policy, I’m unhappy people are dying on our roads,” said Egli. “But I’m pleased our staff, my colleagues and the public on the whole are coming to a consensus on how we might do this in a fair and compassionate way.”

Fires caused by cigarettes on the rise RIDE roadblocks target drivers City staff are reminding Ottawa residents who smoke that they need to take steps to make sure they do not start fires that can cause property damage, injury, or even loss of life to their neighbours and loved ones.

In particular, fires are being caused by cigarettes disposed of in planters and flower pots.

Planters should never be used as ash trays because a burning cigarette can ignite roots,

mulch and fertilizer in the soil or decorative material.

To prevent fire from starting, residents who choose to smoke should take the following precautions when disposing of cigarettes: • use large, deep, sturdy, non-combustible ashtrays or containers filled with sand to extinguish cigarettes; • soak cigarette butts and ashes in water before disposing

of them; • keep ashtrays away from anything that is flammable.

The following additional precautions prevent fires: • smoke outside; • never smoke in bed; • keep lighters and matches out of reach of children; • keep an appropriate container outside to help prevent fires and keep our city’s streets and sidewalks free of litter.

St. Laurent Boulevard Transit Improvements (Industrial to Smyth) Notice of Project Commencement and Open House Invitation The Study The City of Ottawa is undertaking a Design and Environmental Assessment Study for intersection and transit facility improvements on St. Laurent Boulevard from north of Industrial Avenue to south of Smyth Road. The project has three main components: • Reconstructing and expanding the Innes / Industrial / St. Laurent intersection to accommodate additional turning lanes and new cycling facilities; • Reconstructing and widening St. Laurent Boulevard, within the existing right-of-way, to include a bus-only lane and a raised cycle track in each direction. The existing travel lanes will be maintained; and • Minor improvements to the parking lot entrance near Elmvale transit station.

Impaired drivers, beware.

The annual festive RIDE program began this week. The holiday roadblocks began Monday, Nov. 23 and will run until Jan. 2.

Police know that the approaching holiday season brings an increase in the number of alcohol impaired drivers on Ontario roadways. This means there is likely to be more tragedy on area roads in the days ahead.

To try to deter drivers who insist on driving impaired, the OPP have again embarked on a Festive RIDE (Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) campaign.

From January to October, the numbers of alcohol involved occurrences are up 3 per cent over the same period last year. As

of Nov. 15, of the 258 persons killed during that time period, 35 fatalities were attributed to alcohol consumption.

The OPP in East Region has investigated 42 fatal collisions so far this year. Five of these collisions were alcohol-related another 11 fatalities due to not being properly secured by a seatbelt.

Thirteen people died when their off-road vehicle was involved in a collision; six of those had been impaired by alcohol.

Police have seen the number of occurrences of drug impaired driving rise in Ontario over the past year. Police remind the public during this Festive RIDE campaign that the OPP now have drug recognition officers with specialized training to identify drug impaired drivers.

“So far this year the OPP have laid over 6,800 alcohol and drug impaired driving charges. This is an unbelievable statistic,” said OPP deputy commissioner Brad Blair.

“There are many ways to get home after a party. Don’t drink or do drugs and drive, it’s just not worth it. I encourage everyone to have a plan to get home before they get behind the wheel this holiday season.”

Last year the OPP charged 593 people with impairedrelated charges during the Festive RIDE initiative. There were also 485 people who had their licenses suspended following a warning. Police are also asking the public to call the authorities if you see someone who gets behind the wheel after they have been drinking.

Residents put draft police biz plan under microscope Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

In its desire to ensure it is working with the right community-based partners, the Ottawa police have likely already found a good match.

Police brass recently turned to the public for another round of input on potential gaps in its three-year business plan, which is now being developed to guide service delivery, provide for policing staffs and work with the right community partners.

Following the first of two brainstorming sessions at the St. Elias Centre on Nov. 5, residents made several suggestions, including rethinking the plan’s language to ensure inclusivity for high-needs communities, more proactively engaging with immigrants and newcomers, more prominently including youth and schools and having officers more positively interact with residents.

“We felt that the police might be a little bit too much for negative actions in terms of ... drug checks,” said Sandy Hill resident Jan van Heuzen, one of 124 people at the meeting.

“We’d like to see more positive actions where they use their community to engage in a positive way and sort of show police as a friend instead of police as a uniform.”

The ‘Let’s Talk: Priorities’ meeting was one of the final opportunities for residents to have their say on the draft plan, which also includes feedback from more than 4,000 survey respondents, uniformed and civilian police department

members, police board members, agencies, community groups and city council.

Surveys alone aren’t enough, which is the reason why the meeting was key, said Sandy Smallwood, a Sandy Hill resident and police board member.

“I think the trouble with surveys is if you get answers to questions that were asked but they don’t always ask the right questions,” he said, adding in-person feedback forums add another layer of civilian oversight to the business plan’s development.

“To me, the most important issue facing policing is trust,” Smallwood said, adding his three grown children, ages 18 to 25, don’t trust police.

“They think that there’s a closed group of people who are a law unto themselves and they don’t respect the rights of citizens, that they are bullies,” he said.

The perceptions among youth are that they are pre-judged by police and that officers, in general, are abusing their authority by making unnecessary arrests, using excessive force and profiling people, Smallwood said.

For Const. Doug Belanger, a central neighbourhood officer, the meeting was a chance for him to share his front-line experiences with residents and also hear their concerns.

“It’s nice to hear some feedback coming from the other side of the table,” he said. “Most of what I do in my travels I don’t get to talk to people that are encouraged to see police or (who are) having their best days.”

preparing their draft plan include the shooting at the National War Memorial on Oct. 22, 2014, the record 49 shootings last year and mentalhealth issues in the community, which are an “ongoing concern” that impact the community and police response, said Randy Mar, director of planning, performance and analytics for the Ottawa police.

Outlaw motorcycle gangs pose another problem. “They’re still a presence in our community and they actually impact the community wellbeing,” he said. Cybercrime, though borderless, is impacting individuals and businesses here, and human trafficking in Canada is an emerging problem that police Chief Charles Bordeleau has adopted as a strategic priority.

At the top of the chief’s priorities for the next three years will be addressing violence against women, traffic concerns and guns and gangs – the same themes as the past three years.

A look at the stats also reveal that while crime is going down, calls for service are taking much longer due to the complexity of the legal requirements in investigations, Mar said.

“It’s a bit of a balancing act.”

Police personnel are among the three focus areas of the business plan.

When it comes to members, the goal is to invest in the service’s “biggest asset” by fostering their personal and professional development through training and career-progression opportunities and developing a wellness strategy, said Ottawa police Insp. Steve Bell.

“So we want to look at our members in a holistic manner and help support them in all areas of their life,” he said, adding that the service wants to better support their spiritual, mental, physical, social and familial well-being.

Improving member engagement and communication is also key.

When it comes to planning out how the police will best serve and protect in the coming years, one of the challenges the department must be ready for is the city’s 2017 celebrations, marking Canada’s 150th birthday.

“That’s going to be a significant event in our community ... and we have to make sure we have plans, resources in place,” acting Supt.

Mark Ford told attendees.

West Carleton Review - Thursday, November 26, 2015 23

LCBO campaign to raise funds for CHEO Foundation Starting this Friday, Nov. 27, the public can help support the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) Foundation by making a donation at LCBO stores throughout Ontario.

Donation boxes for the CHEO will be displayed at LCBO checkout counters until Dec. 31. As part of LCBO’s annual Giving Back In Our Community campaign, customer service representatives will also

invite customers to add a $2, $5 or $10 donation to their purchase until Dec. 31.

During this period, LCBO’s Giving Back In Our Community in-store prompted and donation box fundraising campaign raises funds for Ontario’s four regional children’s hospitals and Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD Canada).

The hospital foundations include the CHEO Foundation in the Ottawa

area, with the donations focused on alcohol-related education and harm reduction programs. The funds raised for MADD Canada support its School Assembly Program to educate youth on the dangers of drinking, drugs and driving.

This year, the donations from the LCBO campaign will support a number of initiatives at CHEO including a clinical research project at the CHEO Research Institute that will

help educate new moms on the risks of alcohol intake during pregnancy.

LCBO customer support during this campaign will also help fund training for emergency department staff that will better prepare them to understand the relationship between mental illness and substance abuse, and support the purchase of a new CT Scanner that will provide doctors with higher definition, split second images enabling them to give pa-

tients and families a much more precise and detailed diagnosis.

“The LCBO’s Giving Back In Our Community campaign truly makes a difference in the lives of the children and youth in eastern Ontario and Western Quebec,” said CHEO Foundation president Kevin Keohane.

“LCBO staff and their customers come together for CHEO’s kids each year and the results are always spectacular and humbling for everyone here at CHEO. We can’t thank them enough for this tremendous effort on behalf of CHEO’s kids.”

LCBO safest place to sell pot: OPSEU president NOTICE OF STUDY COMMENCEMENT GREENBANK ROAD WATERMAIN MUNICIPAL CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND FUNCTIONAL DESIGN The City of Ottawa has initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) and Functional Design Study for the construction of a new 610 mm diameter transmission watermain on Greenbank Road between Jockvale Road and south of the Jock River as shown on a Figure 1.

The objective of this study is to determine the appropriate alignment of the proposed watermain within the realigned Greenbank Road and to determine the most appropriate method for the crossing of the Jock River, including the use of trenchless technologies.

LCBO stores are the safest place to retail marijuana if Ottawa goes ahead with plans to legalize sales, the president of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union says.

“If legalization happens, marijuana must be a controlled substance, and no one has more experience retailing controlled substances than the workers at the LCBO,” said Warren (Smokey) Thomas.

“If legalization goes ahead, there needs to be a strong regulatory framework in place, includ-

ing minimum age limits, a ban on marketing, and a plan to prevent cannabis-impaired driving,” he said. “If we let industry write the rules, we won’t make any headway in reducing the social harm from marijuana.”

LCBO’s secure warehouses and distribution system and world-renowned laboratory would also have a role to play if marijuana is legalized, Thomas said. Currently, the LCBO conducts more than 500,000 lab tests on alcohol products every year to check for safety.

Location of the Greenbank Watermain Project

Notice of Commencement of Transit Project Assessment Process Confederation Line East Extension The Project The City of Ottawa is developing a plan to extend and expand the City’s existing Light Rail Transit network. Specifically the plan includes extending the future Confederation Line farther east from Blair Station to an interim terminal at Place d’Orléans station and ultimately, to Trim Road.

Requirement for this new transmission watermain was identified in the 2013 City of Ottawa Infrastructure Master Plan as a necessary link to improve water supply and reliability in the Barrhaven South development area. In 2006 the City completed the Greenbank Road Class EA Environmental Study Report with the recommendation to widen and realign Greenbank Road from Strandherd Drive to Cambrian Road, including a new bridge structure over the Jock River. The proposed planning and construction for the 610 mm diameter transmission watermain will be closely coordinated with the Greenbank Road project.

This study will be carried out in accordance with the requirements of Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class EA. The study will include identification and evaluation of alternative alignments, selection of a preferred alternative and a functional design of the preferred alternative.

There is an opportunity at any time during the Municipal Class EA process for interested persons to provide comments. With the exception of personal information, comments received become part of the public record.

Information about the study will be maintained on the following web page: http:/www.ottawa.ca/greenbankwatermain For more information, or if you would like your name added to the mailing list, please contact: Joseph Zagorski, P.

The plan includes options to service the community of Orléans and adjacent lands. New stations will be located at Montreal Road, Jeanne d’Arc Boulevard, Orléans Boulevard and the terminal station at Place d’Orléans. Additional stations will ultimately be constructed at Brisebois Cresent/Mockingbird Drive (Orléans Town Centre), Tenth Line Road and the terminus of the line at Trim Road.

The Process Planning efforts have been completed and the City is now formalizing the environmental assessment component in accordance with the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08. As part of the TPAP, an Environmental Project Report (EPR) will be prepared to document the study process, a description of the planned project, its anticipated environmental impacts, as well as the project’s consultation program.

Consultation Members of the public, agencies and other interested persons are invited to review the work completed to-date, including previous consultation efforts and reports presented to City Council on this project during the planning phase. Information about the progress of the project to date is available on the City’s website at ottawa.ca/easternLRT.

‘It’s our time now’

Moms raise funds to play fastball at World Masters Games in New Zealand Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

A group of west end fastball-playing moms are raising funds to get them to Auckland, New Zealand for the 2017 World Masters Games.

The tag line for the group is “It’s our time now,” said Kinburn’s Jayne Coady.

“We’ve looked after our kids and put them through sports. At (age) 45-plus, it’s our turn now.”

Coady is one of about 15 women who have signed on to compete in fastball at the games.

“I just love the sport, I love the game,” she said.

“I’ve played it since I was a little wee person; the first team I was on I was six or seven (years old).”

Other moms on the team include Kanata’s Liz Warren, Arnprior resident Carol Lavallee, and Laura May of Stittsville. The team is still looking for a few more experienced ladies to join, especially pitchers and catchers.

“We’re still looking for seasoned, competitive players; people who are still playing ball,” said Coady.

“There’s nine on the field at one time, but if someone gets hurt, we need to be able to replace each other.”

The World Masters Games take place every four years.

In 2013, sisters Donna Price and Christine Dewar travelled to Torino Italy with a soccer team for the international games. They wanted to go again but for a different sport, and began recruiting the fastball team, said May.

The fastball team will train over the winter at West Carleton Secondary School, amidst hitting the craft fair circuit to sell raffle tickets for a handmade quilt to raise funding for the trip.

“We’re looking for a

Warriors win Brockville tourney The West Carleton Warriors Minor Midget 2 hockey team has won a tournament in Brockville.

The team entered the Nov. 13-15 Brockville Midget B tournament not knowing what to expect.

There were eight Midget B

teams entered in two pools.

With a 1-1-1 record in round-robin play, West Carleton made it into the semi-finals on the Sunday.

After winning there, they qualified for the championship game against Petawawa, which the Warriors won 4-1.

Coaches report the kids played some great hockey, were so happy to win and a good time was had by all.

Overall it was a great experience.

They thank Brockville Minor Hockey Association for putting on a great tournament.

The West Carleton Bantam 2 minor hockey team played in an Arnprior Minor Hockey Association tournament on the Nov. 7-8 weekend. Each team played three games at the Nick Smith Centre and more if they advanced to the semi-finals and finals.

The West Carleton Bantams played the Kanata Knights on the Saturday afternoon in an exciting match. West Carleton pulled ahead 6-5 with 1:05 remaining in the third, but Kanata came right back to tie the game 6-6 with 49 seconds left. The West Carleton Bantam 3 team also took part in the tournament.

Sledge Hockey of Eastern Ontario last week.

All of the national team’s players and coaches joined athletes from Sledge Hockey of Eastern Ontario (SHEO) for on-ice clinics at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex.

The Eastern Ontario contingent included 20 players, ranging from 5 years old to more than 30. There were two one-hour clinics, one for junior and one for intermediate players.

The night also included off-ice activities, including autograph sessions and informal chats between Team Canada and the SHEO players.

“It was a great experience for our team to take advantage of an opportunity to give back to the community, and help grow sledge hockey in the Ottawa area. We hope to take advantage of similar opportunites in the future,” said national team head coach Ken Babey.

“It was fun for the players to have a chance to share our experiences with sledge hockey, and pass on our knowledge of the sport to newer players,” added national team defenceman Adam Dixon.

“Our team really enjoys spending time with sledge players at the grassroots level. We understand that they are an important piece of the future of our sport.

“We wish SHEO all the best for the remainder of the 2015-16 season.”

The secret is out – Rural Root proves laughter really is the solution Judy Puritt

Rural Root Theatre

Anyone who has been to the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Centre any Wednesday or Sunday evening over the past few months knows that laughter is the solution.

To what? To whatever might have been bothering you before rehearsal.

That’s right. The First Annual Boughs of Holly Country Club Christmas show has had the cast laughing and rolling in merriment for some weeks now. Rehearsals are translating into performances this week, and ticket sales are moving along nicely.

Sunday afternoon was the cue-to-cue where the technical committee made sure all the lighting, sound, and entrance cues were precise.

After a smorgasbord pot-luck spread for dinner, a modest audience comprised of family members experienced the first full dress rehearsal. The show ran smoothly and impressed all in attendance – good foreshadowing for the week’s run.

For Kellie Shrimpton, the play’s director, the success is the natural outcome of many weeks of hard work and dedication.

Shrimpton is completely self-effacing about the

show, lavishing compliments on all the participants.

“With the right people, you can do anything,” she insists. “Everyone’s support and enthusiasm has been terrific. My family encouraged me to take on the director role.”

She chuckles, “actually, my boys begged me to do this. All three are in the play, and they promised to be good.”

The decision to take on the role of director for The First Annual Boughs of Holly Country Club Christmas show goes back a few years to Shrimpton’s first performance with Rural Root.

“Originally, getting involved in community theatre was a ‘personal bucket list’ item,” she explains.

“What hooked me was the world I discovered and never knew existed. And then the friendships – I’ve made some surprising new close friendships through Rural Root.”

Those friendships have deepened and span to all parts of this production.

Shrimpton is approachable and understanding, and has an infectious and endearing laugh. She’s surrounded by a supportive production team, and is quick to share success with them and the broader Rural Root family.

With all three sons on

stage, and her husband, Phil Gagnon, working behind the scenes, this project truly includes the family.

“On previous shows I’ve helped with set construction, but this time I’m learning more and working on the sidelines as an ASM (assistant stage manager), cueing actors when to go on stage,” Gagnon explains.

“It’s pretty obvious Kellie loves what she’s doing, and

A weekly guide in legal matters

and eager. The story is about working together, and audiences are sure to enjoy the message, while laughing a lot.”

Be sure to buy your tickets online through RuralRoot.org – they’re selling fast for 7:30 performances each evening this week through to Saturday’s double performance on Nov. 28 (1 and 7:30 p.m.) in the Constance and Buckham’s Bay Community Centre.

If you have a general legal question that you would like to have addressed send it via email to Legalmatters@compellingcounsel.com

Q: My friends and I have an idea for a business we want to carry on. Should we have a partnership agreement?

The mere carrying on of a business with a view to make a profit with one or more other person is sufficient to create a partnership in law.

A partnership in Ontario is governed by the Partnerships Act. The Partnerships Act sets out a framework that governs the relationship between the partners to each other, and the partners and the public, but allows the partners wide latitude to structure their relationship the way that they determine by agreement among the partners. Absent a partnership agreement, the default provisions of the Partnerships Act govern.

For example, under the default provisions of the Partnerships Act: all the partners are entitled to share equally in the capital and profits of the business, and must contribute equally towards the losses; no partner may be expelled by majority vote; any partner may determine (terminate) the partnership at will by notice to the other partners. There are many other default provisions, and many matters not addressed by the Partnerships Act, that may surprise the unwary.

Wagner), best performance by a woman (Emily Walsh who won last year for her performance in Kanata’s Agnes of God), and best lighting and set design (Karl Wagner).

Other Kanata Theatre nominations were for best director (Barbara Kobolak for The Dining Room) and best performance by a woman (Kim Strauss for Eleanor of Aquitaine in The Lion in Winter).

– whether you’re interested in hair, make-up, lighting, back stage work, it doesn’t matter, because you will feel welcome and supported in your efforts. I really wanted to see a show that included children, and that idea was accepted and here we see the results,” she motions inclusively to the green room area where the children are chatting as they get ready to perform.

“The kids are all so positive

Each week, a lawyer from the Kanata based Allan Snelling law firm will answer a reader’s question.

Local theatre company talents recognized Shows from last year’s Kanata Theatre season have received important recognition by the Capital Critics Circle (CCC), a panel of Ottawa’s leading theatre reviewers.

Productions by Kanata’s community theatre company, now in its 47th season, received six nominations for the prestigious CCC Awards.

Leading the pack for Kanata Theatre was last November’s Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde with nominations for best production by a community theatre company, best director (Wendy

likewise, the boys are having a great time.”

For Gagnon, it’s a good arrangement, and he’s keen to stay involved in Rural Root.

Asked about tips for novices considering directing, Shrimpton notes, “Rural Root is a very positive environment for new directors. They are supportive, value enthusiasm, accept new ideas, and are very welcoming.

“This happens on all fronts

A Partnership Agreement allows the partners to determine what their rights and obligations are to each other. Typical provisions in a partnership agreement include obligations and entitlements for sharing profits (& losses) and capital, decision making, signing authority, admission and expulsion of partners, what happens in circumstances of partner incapacity, retirement or death and breakdown between the partners. Subject to certain provisions of the Partnerships Act that cannot be avoided, a partnership may be constructed as the partners desire, giving this form of business relationship extraordinary flexibility.

All partners of a partnership are jointly liable with each other for all debts of the partnership. A partnership has no separate legal existence from the partners and the partners do not enjoy limited liability as do shareholders of a corporation. While partnerships are useful in the right circumstances, it is prudent to determine before you start business if a partnership is the right business vehicle, and if it is, the advisability of a partnership agreement.

Creative locals at craft fair The inaugural Christmas craft fair for the West Carleton Food Access Centre saw many people come out to the Carp Memorial Hall on Nov. 21. The event featured a number of interesting and unique local vendors.

Clockwise from top left: Rural Carp’s Veronica Chenier, proprietor of Willow Memories, shows off her handcrafted willow furniture and accent pieces; Diana Carson, of Carp, creates her three-dimensional Nature’s Bounty Woodland Art using sticks, leaves and even sea shells, among other items. Children really enjoy trying to find the various animals she hides in her paintings, she says; Heather Bradley, of Stittsville, displays her ‘Off The Wall Jewellery,’ created using pottery pieces she had collected over more than 20 years. The pottery had been sitting on a shelf when it collapsed, breaking many of the pieces. Instead of throwing it away, Bradley creates necklaces and earrings; Photographer Allan Joyner, of Carp, displays some of his framed works.

Protect yourself from the flu, get the shot Health units and pharmacists are urging those who have not yet had a flu shot to take advantage of the free vaccine clinics offered in Ontario.

They point out that seasonal flu cases result in about 12,200 hospitalizations and, on average, 3,500 deaths in Canada each year. The flu season typically runs from November to April.

Influenza typically starts with a headache, chills and cough. Those are quickly followed by fever, loss of appetite, muscle aches and fatigue, running nose, sneezing, watery eyes and sore throat. Nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea may also occur, especially in children.

Most people will have uncomplicated influenza and recover from within a week or 10 days, but some are at greater risk of developing more severe complications such as pneumonia.

Some people are more likely to get seriously ill if they catch the flu, including: • children and adults (including pregnant women) with chronic medical conditions; • residents of nursing homes and other chronic care facilities; • people 65 years of age and older; • children under 5 years of age; • Aboriginal Peoples; • healthy pregnant women, at any stage of pregnancy.

Health unit officials maintain the seasonal flu vaccine is safe and effective and remains the “best protection” against flu viruses. They encourage everyone over the age of six months old to get the vaccine.

The flu vaccine is also highly recommended for: • those in close contact with individuals at high-risk for complications (e.g. health care workers, household members, and those providing childcare to children up to five years of age); • those who provide services within closed or relatively closed environments to persons at high risk (e.g. crew on a ship); • people who provide essential community services including emergency medical responders such as paramedics, police and firefighters; • people in direct contact during culling operations with poultry infected with avian influenza.

The flu vaccine protects against three or four flu strains (depending on the type of vaccine you receive), so even when there is a less than ideal match or lower effectiveness against one strain, the vaccine can provide protection against the remaining two or three strains.

In addition to getting the flu shot, people can protect themselves and their families from infection during flu

season by taking the following steps: • clean your hands frequently; • cough and sneeze into your arm, not your hand. If you use a tissue, dispose of it as soon as possible and wash your hands; • if you get sick, stay home; • keep your hands away from your face; • keep common surface areas - for example, doorknobs, light switches, telephones and keyboards - clean and disinfected; • eat healthy foods and stay physically active to keep your immune system strong.

If you are elderly and at high-risk of complications or if severely ill with the flu, consult a health care professional regarding the potential use of antiviral drugs to help manage the sickness. It is important that antiviral drugs be started as early as possible after you get sick.

Each year medical experts encourage Canadians to protect themselves by getting a flu vaccination, but according to a new national poll, the message is still not sinking in – 54 per cent admit they are unlikely to get the flu shot this year. So pharmacists and Immunize Canada are working to “set the record straight” and encourage the public to make it a priority.

Since the evidence clearly shows the benefits of flu vaccination, what is

Not according to the poll – in fact, four in five Canadians (83 per cent) say the limited effectiveness of last year’s flu vaccine won’t affect their immunization decision this year.

One major stumbling block is that many Canadians seem to be confused about how important flu vaccination is – 81 per cent think washing your hands

is the best way to protect against the flu, while only 47 per cent thought getting the flu vaccination offered the best protection.

“The flu vaccine is hands down the best source of protection currently available,” says Dr. Vivien Brown, family physician and Immunize Canada board member. “And with the flu vaccination now conveniently offered from pharmacists across many parts of Canada, it’s easier than ever to make flu immunization an annual routine.”

Humane society promotes giving pets as holiday gifts Imagine a holiday season where you not only fulfill your children’s holiday wishes but make a homeless animal’s dreams come true too.

That’s the idea behind the Ottawa Humane Society’s holiday delivery program, a festive way to surprise a loved one with a furry friend during Hanukkah or on Yuletide morning.

From kittens and rabbits to dogs and hamsters, the society is seeking families interested in having volunteer elves drop by with their new fourlegged family member on Dec. 25 or any night of Hanukkah (starting Dec. 7).

Regular adoption procedures still apply, which means parents would come in to the shelter in advance to fill out an application form, be matched

with the right pet, and speak with an adoption counsellor.

This delivery program is busting the myth that pets should not be adopted during the holidays. If you’ve been thinking about adding a pet to your family, this may be the right time to do it, said humane society executive director Sharon Miko.

“Less travelling, smaller families, and time off during the holiday can make this the perfect time of year to bond with a new pet for many people,” Miko said.

There are limited holiday delivery spaces available, so contact the OHS to sign up by phone at 613-725-3166, ext. 258, or visit the shelter at 245 West Hunt Club Rd.

Holly available through Guide Dogs fundraiser Sprays, two Variegated Sprays, two Ponderosa Pine Cones and two Cedar Boughs from a holly farm in British Columbia to any Canada Post address within Canada.

Proceeds from the national fundraising campaign support Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind.

To order online, visit www.guidedogs.ca.

Deadline to order is Tuesday, Dec. 1, so that holly can be prepared and delivered in a timely fashion. People can also order and get more information by calling 613-692-7777.

The Arnprior Humane Society, represented by Meg Carley, left, a volunteer and member of the board, was thrilled to receive a generous cheque for $500 delivered by Sandra Fletcher, 1st vicepresident of the Galetta Community Association, in celebration of the recent annual Giant Flea Market made possible by a myriad of volunteers and a plethora of donations.

Arnprior Community Choir promises spectacle for 25th ‘Sing Noel’ “I am so proud to be celebrating our 25th anniversary and launching yet another successful Sing Noel annual concert. Sharing the stage with so many wonderful choristers, instrumentalists and soloists is truly special.� Lisa Webber, music director, Arnprior Community Choir Get ready for a wonderful opening to this year’s Sing Noel concert being presented by the Arnprior Community Choir under the direction of Webber.

To mark the 25th anniversary of the choir, the opening will be a true spectacle, with dancers, singers, instruments, and soloists.

Arnprior School of Dance teacher and musical theatre extraordinaire, Andrea Bahm, has choreographed a truly spectacular number to set the tone at this year’s Sing Noel.

All of this will take place on Sunday, Dec. 6 at 2 p.m. at Glad Tidings Pentecostal Church on Baskin Drive.

In Your Neighbourhood

This year’s Sing Noel will include a program of choral music from both the adult choir and special guests, the high school girls’ ensemble.

The girls in the choir are from Arnprior, Renfrew, and West Carleton.

The Arnprior Community Choir has over 60 members from the local area and beyond – Almonte, Renfrew, Pakenham, Kinburn, and West Carleton – and enjoys creating wonderful choral music together.

The dedication and enthusiasm by

all members has led to the choir’s long success in the community.

The adult choir will be presenting several rousing spirituals to keep the audience’s toes tapping – Wasn’t That a Mighty Day, I Bring You Good News, Hallelujah to the King – and the haunting and touching Christmas Sanctus, I Wonder as I Wander, and Angels Carol.

And if you love the Nutcracker, be sure not to miss the choirs’ little “twist� on this Christmas tradition.

The audience will not only delight in listening to these ensembles, but they will have a chance to sing familiar carols and enjoy a festive reception following the concert.

Tickets for the Dec. 6 concert are available at the Arnprior Book Shop, cost $18 for adults in advance, $20 at the door and $10 for children 12 and under.

Check out the choir’s website www.arnpriorcommunitychoir.com for more details.

Men’s chorale to join ladies Goulbourn Male Chorus chorus in Christmas concert to present ‘Christmas Blessings’

The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus enjoys raising their voices at senior residences where they celebrate the joy of music with those who cannot get out to concerts.

“To me, the most important aspect of singing with this group is the opportunity to perform sing-outs where we bring our gift of music to those who are unable to come to hear us,” said Vivian McLean.

“Singing in seniors’ residences and long term care facilities allows us to touch hearts and lives with our voices. To see the delighted expressions on the faces of the audience, to hear them sing along when they know the lyrics, is an experience not to be equalled.”

Having just performed at the Stittsville Villas Nov. 11 to celebrate the sacrifice of the armed forces during the great wars, the chorus is now putting the final touches on selections for the Christmas concert ‘Christmas Around the World’.

The chorus has made it a part

of their mandate to share Christmas music and old favourites at local residences. Their reward is the enthusiasm of the audience.

But everyone has a chance to experience and enjoy their wonderful music.

This year Christmas songs from around the world will delight their audience. Some are old favourites, some are sung in the original language, some tell the story of a child born to be a king and some are just plain fun.

Each piece adds to the spirit of the season as it has year after year.

Joining the ladies is the men’s chorus, the West Ottawa Chorale - in all over 50 voices will fill Kanata’s St. Paul’s Anglican Church with joyous sounds to ring in the season.

The singers come from all over the Ottawa Valley to sing under the direction of Robert Dueck. He demands high quality and invariably achieves it.

Now in its fourth year, the WOLC has attracted a loyal audience that looks to this perfor-

Robert Dueck mance to put them in the spirit of this joyous season.

Performances will be held on Saturday, Dec. 5 at 7 p.m. and again on Sunday, Dec. 6 at 2:30 p.m. both at St. Paul’s, 20 Young Rd. Advanced tickets cost $15 and are available from choir and chorale members as well as at Gaia in Stittsville, the Kanata Barbershop and the Robin’s Nest in Almonte. Tickets at the door cost $20.

The Goulbourn Male Chorus, under the direction of Byron Hermann, is pleased to present its sixth annual Christmas concert on Sunday, Dec. 13.

‘Christmas Blessings’ will be held at 2:30 p.m. in Trinity Presbyterian Church, 1817 Richardson Side Rd. Besides the chorus, the Men of Note ensemble will perform several pieces and guest ensemble ‘Interlude’ will participate as well. Interlude consists of Jackie Morris, violin; Sandra Allan, cello; and Bonnie MacDiarmid, piano.

Attendance at the concert has always been at capacity and the audience has been treated to great performances from the chorus including some sing-along Christmas

carols. Several members of the chorus joined after they heard the chorus perform during the Christmas season.

The chorus is a communitybased choir and tries to get out in the community at this time of the year.

On Nov. 12, the chorus performed at a fundraising concert for a project called ‘Latrines for Ghana’ organized by the chorus’s accompanist Liliane McKennirey for the Rotary club of Kanata-Nepean.

The a-capella ensemble Men of Note will be performing at a Christmas theatre play in Constance Bay and the chorus has several sing-outs planned in December.

As member Don Snyder says so well, ”nothing brings the joy of Christmas better

than vocal music, especially when arranged for male harmony. Goulbourn Male Choristers have a unique opportunity to share this gift of song at this special time of year through our Christmas Concert and at a number of Community Sing-outs.

“It is hoped that many in our area will be able to participate, both by listening and in joining us for sing-a-long numbers.

“It is indeed a real pleasure be a part of this talented and dedicated group.”

Tickets this year will be again available from Gaia Java, Brown’s Independent, chorus members, the chorus website www.goulbournmalechorus.com and a limited amount at the door.

Ottawa launches a Healthy Kids Challenge Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Thanks to a grant from the province the city will be investing more than $1 million in community-based programs to make Ottawa’s kids healthier.

Ottawa is one of the 45 communities to receive money from the Healthy Kids Community Challenge fund – which will hand out $33.5 million to 45 communities across the province over the next three years.

John Fraser, MPP for Ottawa South, announced the funds from the ministry of health and long-term care at the Alexander Community Centre on Nov. 13. The challenge promotes healthy eating, physical activity and healthy lifestyle choices for children. It’s part of the province’s Patients First: Action Plan for Health Care, which aims to improve the delivery of healthcare services.

Mayor Jim Watson and councillors Shad Qadri, Diane Deans, Mathieu Fleury and Riley Brockington join Ottawa-area MPPs John Fraser and Yasir Naqvi to announce more than $1 million in funding for the healthy kids community challenge at the Alexander Community Centre on Nov. 13. nancy and during the early years. It also helps parents with healthy food choices and aims to build healthy commu-

nities for kids to grow up and play in.

“The Healthy Kids Community Challenge is mobiliz-

Notice to

ing the communities, families, schools, local businesses, health, recreation and other organizations in our commu-

nity to help our young people lead healthier lives. You can see that action right here in Ottawa. It is so important

communities take an active role in promoting healthy lifestyles, because our children’s future health and success is a shared responsibility,” Fraser said in a press release.

The city will coordinate with the department of parks, recreation and cultural services, Ottawa Public health, community health and resource centres, research organizations, community, sport and recreation associations, local child and youth community-based service providers and networks and local school boards to develop its plans to use the $1.125-million grant.

“Adopting a healthy lifestyle needs to start at a young age,” said Mayor Jim Watson.

“The City of Ottawa is excited to be part of the Healthy Kids Community Challenge, which will invest in community-based programs and resources that will have a positive and long-term impact on the health and well-being of our children and their families.”

Thursday night suppers featured special treats for the family Although Mother always seemed to be tucking something into the oven, or stirring a pot on the stove, whatever day of the week it was, for some reason Thursday was the day when nothing interfered with her baking.

We would come home from school to be met with the sweet smell of apple pies, homemade buns, and, always, on the bake table would be fresh muffins and golden tea biscuits.

Ours was a home of routine. Just like Monday was wash day, Tuesday Mother did the ironing, Wednesday was Mother’s day to quilt, sew, have someone drop in for tea and a bit of chatter, or to go to a meeting at the church.

And so, Thursday was bake day. And Friday was the time to get everything ready to take into Renfrew on Saturday to peddle door to door. Which meant too, that Friday, more baking was done, because of the great demand for Mother’s sticky buns, and they couldn’t be made two days before delivering them to her special customers, like Dr. Murphy, and rich Mrs. Stewart.

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

But baking for the family was always done on Thursday, and that became my favourite day of the week.

I so anticipated walking into the kitchen that day, that I was sure I could actually smell the sweet buns and apple pie long before the lane ended at the gate into the barn yard. And as soon as I opened the door, I would be met head-on with the wonderful smells, the result of Mother’s long day at the bake table and the Findlay Oval.

And I knew a treat would be waiting for me. We never considered homemade bread a treat ... that was something we had every day. No, this would be a special treat, and one I looked forward too with saliva swirling around my mouth waiting for that first bite.

Of course, the first order was to get upstairs, and get out of my school clothes. Heaven forbid that I would get a drop of butter, or jam onto the blouse that I was expected to keep spotlessly clean for the rest of the week.

Once in my play clothes, I would tear downstairs like someone possessed, and head right for the kitchen table. There at one end, as always, would be a crisp clean flour bag tea towel, laid out flat with a little plate on it. Beside it would be a small dish of jam ... which could be wild strawberry, picked in the summer from along the CPR tracks, or raspberry, which was my favourite.

And then Mother would bring over one of her freshly made muffins and a tea biscuit on another little plate and set them before me.

Now it was decision time. Which one should I eat first?

Mother would smile and then she would chuckle, as I said my usual, ‘eenie, meenie, minee moe’, and sometimes my finger would land on the one I wanted to save for last, and I would go all over the exercise

again. The muffin usually won out.

Still warm from the oven, I would lather it with the jam, and take small little bites to make the wonderful taste last as long as I could. And then I would do the same with the tea biscuit.

There wouldn’t be a crumb left on the little plate when I finished.

I wouldn’t have refused had Mother offered me a piece of warm apple pie too. But supper wasn’t far off, and I had to save my appetite for it.

I would take the tea towel and the plate over to the little table. And I would linger over the array of baking Mother had spent most of the day making.

There was never any bread on the bake table, because it was made several times a week, always started in an evening, put in large greased bowls, and allowed to sit on the reservoir on the back of the Findlay Oval, where it would rise overnight, baked in the morning and then be ready for the next meal.

I never ceased to marvel at the bounty of food we had at our table.

Breakfast was a meal in it-

self. Dinner, at noon hour, would feed half of Renfrew County.

Supper was considered the lightest meal of the day, and yet our plates were heaped with fried potatoes, meat and always there was a cabbage salad, which Father thought was as necessary as the sky-high plate of fresh bread.

And on Thursday night, supper included the wonderful baked goods Mother had worked on most of the day.

I would look around the table after Father said Grace, and I would see the golden biscuits, muffins, and big wedges of apple pie, and I would think again we were probably amongst the richest people in all of Renfrew county.

West Carleton Review - Thursday, November 26, 2015 45

Seniors living at home: be active to fight isolation, loneliness Sandy Lam

Imaging dying alone at home without being found for two years, and your neighbours taping your door to keep down the smell.

It may sound unbelievable, but it happened in real life to an isolated senior in Italy.

Jacques Bertrand, the executive director of HelpAge Canada, told this story at an event hosted by HelpAge Canada at the First Unitarian Congregation of Ottawa on Oct. 1, International Seniors’ Day. The objective of the day was to “address the effects of social isolation and loneliness on seniors and find community based solutions,” said Natalie Fraser, the organizer. Commu-

nity groups and seniors from around Ottawa were invited to discuss the issues of social isolation and loneliness.

Activities ranged from live music, tap dancing, Bollywood dancing (all done by senior groups), cultural exhibits, information booth on services provided by the City of Ottawa and other community groups, to discussion panels consisting of seniors from diverse cultural backgrounds.

“If you are alone in the suburbs and don’t have family around you, you can be very lonely,” said Gail, one of the panellists, explaining the emotional challenges faced by isolated seniors.

She suggested what one could do to support isolated

seniors. “If you know someone in a house or an apartment by himself or herself, just knock on the door and say ‘hi I’m your neighbour’ and ask if there’s anything you can help with.”

Seniors living at home may feel lonely or have difficulties looking for assistance in their daily living. “Keep contact with your church, friends and family … look for services like the senior centre,” said Earl, another panellist.

“Get to know what are the options available when you can’t take care of yourself anymore … there are many community groups to help.”

Many participants shared their own stories. “I learned to be with people (through join-

ing community senior centre).

I used to hide in the house for many years ... it takes courage ... but now I feel I can’t be happier” one person said.

Immigrants Seniors

Other discussions also touched on issues faced by immigrant seniors. John, a panellist, shared his story.

As immigrants with no relatives nearby, he and his wife used to work a lot. “After all this time, we felt lost and isolated … but the seniors’ program changed our lives.”

They started to participate and became more active. “Our health has greatly improved … we feel much younger when we are in the group.” he said.

Speaking on the solutions for social isolation, most panellists agreed that volunteering is important. “Being a senior, every day is another day. But my days are full, because I volunteer,” said one of the panellists. “Volunteer and you will have a good life and won’t be lonely,” said Gail.

HelpAge Canada is launching the RISE (Reach Isolated Seniors Everywhere) this fall.

“We have many partners across Canada. Our goal is to gather as many organizations as possible to spread the message about social isolation and loneliness,” explained Bertrand.

“There are different stages of social isolation; the more one becomes isolated, the

more one is at risk for health and mental problems that can result in emergency room visits.”

HelpAge Canada has developed a tool to help identify symptoms of social isolation and the corresponding actions.

The tool can be found on the RISE website (www.rise-cisa. ca).

“We are hoping that organizations and individuals will download this tool and distribute it,” said Bertrand.

HelpAge Canada encourages organizations and businesses to join or sponsor the campaign. They are also looking for volunteers to help write and translate materials to promote best practices in this area.

Boobyball event raises $58,000 for Rethink Breast Cancer Boobyball, Rethink Breast Cancer’s biggest fundraiser, made a stop in Ottawa Nov. 13 to raise funds for breast cancer support and education.

Guests were transported to “another dimension” filled with flashy cocktails, futuristic food, extraterrestrial entertainers, UFOs, and a variety of other space ‘matter’. More than 500 guests mixed, mingled, and gravitated towards the laser-lit dance floor filled with the cosmic styling of DJ PAQ. “Over the past decade, Boobyball has raised over $3.8 million for our work for young women with breast cancer. We couldn’t do what we do without the support of all the people who come out every year, and we are thrilled that Ottawa’s first Boobyball sold out,” said MJ DeCoteau, executive director of Rethink Breast Cancer.

“A lot of Boobyball’s success is due to the fun and creative themes that we come up with every year. Planet Booby was no exception and Ottawa definitely dressed to impress.”

This year’s astronomical event committee was made up of Ottawa’s brightest young

Submitted

This year’s Boobyball raised $58,000 with proceeds allocated to help expand Rethink’s innovative programs for young women concerned about and living with breast cancer. female philanthropists. The committee transformed the horticultural building into an allout, sold out interstellar space party where visitors were able to wear their alien antennas, dig out their shiny leggings, and unleash their inner cyborg.

Planet Booby attractions included:

• Cosmic music by DJ PAQ; • Central Command VIP suites by Lou Lou Lounge; • Intergalactic mini manis from The Ten Spo;t • Helmet hair touch ups for ladies by Rinaldo’s and men by Not your Father’s Barber; • Complimentary celestial sips of (yellow tail) wine, Glen-

livet Scotch, Beau’s and Absolute Vodka; • Out of this world catering

by ACE Mercado and Aroma Espresso Bar; • Spacey souvenir shop by Boss Promotions; • Boobyball’s out of this world gift bags; • Planetary Photobooth by

MDRN Photobooth; • Oxygen Booth courtesy of Molly Maid.

This year’s goal was to raise $50,000, with proceeds allocated to help expand Rethink’s innovative programs for young women concerned about and living with breast cancer. Ottawa’s committee ‘went over

the moon’ when $58,000 was raised. One small step onto Planet Booby can turn into a giant leap for those affected by breast cancer.

Boobyball was launched in 2002 by a group of dedicated young women in support of their friend Sarah O’Regan who, at just 23 years old, was diagnosed with aggressive, advanced breast cancer. Fast forward 14 years, and Boobyball is now one of the most high profile fundraising events for young philanthropists in Toronto, Calgary, Ottawa and Winnipeg, and O’Regan is a thriving mother of three.

For more about Boobyball, visit www.boobyball.com.

Rethink Breast Cancer’s mission is to empower young people worldwide who are concerned about and affected by breast cancer. By taking a breakthrough approach to all aspects of breast cancer – education, resources, advocacy, community building, and fundraising – Rethink is thinking differently about breast cancer.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, some big challenges are coming your way, but it’s not anything you can’t handle. However, you may need to bring in some reinforcements. Enlist some friends to help out.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, after many weeks of putting in your best effort at work and at home, it very well may be time to take a break. Here’s a chance to book a vacation before the holiday rush.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, even though you are quite persuasive, you cannot always make miracles happen. If someone isn’t moved by your call to action, don’t take it personally.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, there’s not much more you can pile onto your plate without it tipping over. This week lighten your load by asking family to help. They are more than willing.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Make an effort to restore some order to your finances, Aquarius. It may be time to curtail your spending, but a close examination of your finances won’t cause much panic.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, some mysterious news has piqued your curiosity, and now you may not be sure which direction to go for a few days.

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

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, things go well this week, but expect a few bumps along the way as well. Learn how to clear these hurdles and you will stay on track.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, keep your eye on the prize, resisting the temptation to get swept up in distractions. The longer you can maintain your focus this week, the more likely you are to be successful.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Luck puts you in the path of someone you have been anxious to meet, Gemini. Use this opportunity this week to ask all the questions you have been wanting to ask.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Persistence is your best ally this week, Cancer. When others give up early, you have the tenacity to continue. Don’t be surprised if others notice your hard work.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Other people appreciate your ability to put a positive spin on things, Leo. Use that talent to help two friends overcome their differences in the next week.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Keep an open mind when someone comes to you with a suggestion, Virgo. Even though you are quick to dismiss it outright, give it a second thought.
