Venta Preparatory School closes suddenly BY JOANNE LAUCIUS
Postmedia
Venta Preparatory School, founded by a child psychologist who died in August at the age of 103, has closed its doors. Venta Preparatory School, located just off March Road on about 20 sprawling hectares, had about 83 day and boarding students. The school was closed effective Monday, said director of studies Shaun Quinn.
Quinn directed questions to the chairman of the school’s board of directors, Hanns Baader, who also confirmed the school was closed. But Baader said he was not in a position to comment further, citing advice from the school’s lawyer. “I can’t make any official statements at this time,” said Baader in an interview, deflecting questions about whether the school was in financial difficulty. However, he added

that it was not a matter of the Ontario Ministry of Education pulling the school’s registration. “People want to know. I know it’s frustrating, but the only thing I can tell you is that I can’t tell you anything,” said Baader. “There are no kids left in limbo and all of the parents have been informed.” Venta was opened in 1981, focusing on bright but under-performing students. The school, which accepted students from junior kindergarten to Grade 10 and boarders from around the world, limited class sizes to under a dozen students to allow for individualized programs of study. Tuition ranged from about $10,000 a year for day students to $40,000 for boarders. The school was founded by University of Ottawa psychology professor Agatha Sidlauskas as a retirement project. Born in Lithu-

Venta Preparatory School closed its doors suddenly two weeks ago. Founder Dr. Agatha Sidlauskas, photographed here with some Venta students in 2015, passed away last August. ania and educated in Italy, she fled to Canada in 1948 and worked as a domestic in Montreal until she was hired by the university as an academic in 1952, later focusing on gifted children. “A bright child, if he is not challenged, develops negative attitudes toward school,” said Sidlauskas, in a 1989 interview with the Ottawa Citizen. “I try
to sculpt the child as he is meant to be. It is just a passion,” she said in another interview in 1990. Sidlauskas bought an old farm near Carp in 1958. It became a children’s summer camp and later the Child Study Centre of the University of Ottawa, where Sidlauskas remained until her retirement in 1979.
Known affectionately by staff and generations of students as “Doc,” Sidlauskas was principal at Venta until 1994, but remained active in running the school into her 90s. She lived on the grounds until her death and cooked for the staff until she had a stroke last May. Another of the school’s former students, Hubert Chrétien, son of former prime minister Jean Chrétien, was one of the pallbearers at the funeral. “She never took a salary, not one dime, the whole time at Venta. And she put her own money into the property,” Venta’s principal Marilyn Mansfield told this newspaper in August after Sidlauskas’ death. “I have to tell you, we operate on a shoestring, and there were many times when she covered payroll from her personal bank account.” In its most recent update in August, CharityDir, which releases public
information on Canadian charities, listed Venta’s revenues at $1,475,252 and its expenditures at $1,595,783. Brian Lamb, the principal at Joan of Arc Academy, an Ottawa private school, said he was surprised when he the heard reports about Venta’s closing on the weekend. The private school community is very tight-knit, but the closing was news to him, said Lamb. “I had no idea.” Parents of students at Carp’s Venta Preparatory School say they were shocked and mystified when they got an early morning email from the school principal on Saturday saying the private school would close immediately. Many are also wondering whether they would get back part of the money they have spent on tuition — $20,500 for a day student. See VENTA, page 3

Venta closure left about 80 students without a school From page 2
But calls and emails to school administration have gone unanswered and parents say they are in the dark about why the school closed and what happens next. “It’s all shrouded in secrecy,” said Jennifer Mondoux, whose son is in Grade 5. Mondoux received the email at 2 a.m. on Saturday morning. Her son was at school on Friday, and there was no indication that anything was amiss, she said. “It’s very upsetting. We put a lot of trust in the school. We feel betrayed. We’re all scrambling and trying to figure out what to do next. We were all hung out to dry.” The school’s administration says it has received legal advice to decline comment about the school closing. The staff, which learned that the school was closing on Friday, has been instructed not to respond to messages. In a brief interview Wednesday, school principal Marilyn Mansfield said she hoped to clarify matters in the next few days. Sonia Waharte, whose son is in senior kindergarten, said she was also shocked when she got Mansfield’s message on Saturday morning. “It’s difficult for us. It’s difficult for the staff. They have to deal with losing a job before Christmas. The kids had no chance to say goodbye,” she said. “But I feel more sorry for the staff. They had no idea. They lost a job overnight.” David Smith said he and his wife chose Venta for their son, who is in Grade 3, because of its small class sizes and outdoor program. “School was ending (for the holidays) this Friday. Why couldn’t they have extended it for a few more days? ” he said. “We’re not even allowed to talk to the teachers. That would help our children transition better to their

new schools. It has been very hard on our son.” Mansfield’s letter to parents suggests that there are not enough funds to operate the facility, a former farm on 20 hectares just off March Road. The school was founded in 1981 by University of Ottawa child psychologist Dr. Agatha Sidlauskas, who bought the property in 1958. As of last week, Venta had about 83 students from junior kindergarten to Grade 10. Sidlauskas died in August at the age of 103 following a stroke. She had Kristine Geary’s
been active in the school almost right to her death. In an interview following her death, Mansfield said Sidlauskas never accepted a salary the entire time, and often covered the payroll from her own bank account. “The cost of operating and maintaining an aging facility, plus the fact that the school’s boarding population has dramatically dropped in the last five years, have led the school now to the point where it can no longer operate,” wrote Mansfield in her letter to parents, calling closing the school a “painful, unavoidable decision.”
But parents wonder why they weren’t warned that the school was having money troubles, or what they could have done to help. “If there was a problem, they should have rallied people around it,” said Mondoux. “It’s unfortunate they didn’t reach out to anyone,” said Waharte. “They just went right to the wall and stopped.” It is also unclear what will happen to academic credits for this semester for students in grades 9 and 10. In her letter to parents, Mansfield said Venta will forward the Ontario School Record to the new school for students in junior kindergarten to Grade 8. However, because the school is no longer in operation and can’t meet the definition of a private school, it can’t grant credits for students in grades 9 and 10, said the letter. “A grade 9/10 student will not get credits if he/she transfers to another private school (within the same semester) in hopes of finishing the credit in the receiving school, as that school will not have the leverage to grant the credit.” If a student transfers to a public high school and the school offers the same subjects, the principal at the public school may have the discretion to grant credit for the semester, said Mansfield. “The administration recommends that parents of Grade 9 and 10 students should contact their local
high school immediately on Monday, as gathering the balance of credit hour requirements is critical.” Mondoux paid her son’s tuition upfront in September, and says many parents do the same thing because it costs less than paying in installments. The thought of forfeiting the tuition money is upsetting, but having no warning was even more distressing, she said. “My son was doing so well,” she said. “The school is very special. The teachers care.” Waharte, who paid $12,000 for kindergarten tuition, agrees. “People like the school for good reason. It has a good reputation. The staff is just excellent.” Smith said he paid for his son’s $20,500 in tuition with his credit card to get the points. He believes he might be able to get some of the money back because services were not rendered. Some of the parents have already registered their children in public schools, while others are investigating other private schools, said Smith. He doesn’t feel it would even be possible to re-open Venta, even with an infusion of cash. “I think two-thirds of the people are already gone.” Mondoux blames herself for not asking more questions about finances. “Anyone going into a private school should ask more questions about the stability of the funding.”

Dunrobin Christmas tree a community effort BY JAKE DAVIES
jake.davies@metroland.com
For the second year in a row, Dunrobin has a lighted, decorated Christmas tree on the corner of Dunrobin Road and Thomas A. Dolan Parkway. But this time it’s permanent. “We just want to pretty up the area around Christmas time,” Dunrobin and District Women’s Institute President Beth McEwen told the West Carleton Review shortly after the official lighting of the tree on Thursday, Dec. 14. About 20 people showed up for the tree lighting including Coun. Eli El-Chantiry and MP Karen McCrimmon. Last year the institute bought a tree for the corner
and put lights on it. This year the institute planted the tree – a spruce tree to be specific. The Women’s Institute received a donation from Coun. El-Chantiry’s office of $200 to purchase the tree. Fait Construction planted the tree for the institute in what McEwen calls “a very good deal.” McEwen said WI member Pam Smith-Hlady “did all the work throughout the year to get city permission to plant the tree and decorate it. It was not a trivial exercise. “To get a tree planted was a big deal. It was a whole year of paperwork and chasing city officials.” Durobin Community Association President Greg Patacairk helped “navigate city
requests” and provided the post lighting celebration location. Electricity to the tree is provided by neighbours Ben and Jess Rousseau. Patacairk said the tree is symbolic of Dunrobin’s community spirit. “It is a fantastic story of community members gathering together to add some simple festive cheer to the Christmas season,” he said. The lot the tree sits on is currently vacant and owned by the City of Ottawa. It was the former site of Younghusband’s corner store and gas station. The lot is contaminated but being monitored. McEwen expects it will be about five to 10 years before the property is approved for use.
“Then the city will probably sell it for commercial use,” McEwen said. “Everyone here would like to see it turn in to a park.”
McEwen says she would love to see a bench or two on the property. Meanwhile, the Women’s Institute is already receiving positive feedback.
“People honked when we were putting the lights up,” McEwen said. “Our Facebook page is hopping and the two nearby businesses love it.”

OPINION
Connected to your community
If you give, you will surely get this Christmas
I
don’t have a surplus of cash to donate at Christmastime, or any time of year. I can’t afford to put a bill in the kettle every time I encounter a Salvation Army bell ringer. And yet, I have found a way to give to their worthy cause this Christmas. I donate my time. It sounds quite charitable of me – standing beside a kettle between the drafty double doors at the grocery store for two hours at a time. In reality, I am the one who benefits. Being a bell ringer is the gift I give myself during the hectic pre-holiday season. Where would you rather be – standing in line in a packed shopping mall, overheated under your winter coat, feet and head aching from the effort of searching for every last item on your gift list – or bopping along to Christmas music, jingle bells in hand, greeting smile after smile? After several years volunteering as a bell ringer, I have developed a system. First, you find out where you will be situated. If it’s the local liquor store, they don’t always like you to ring your bells, but they do have their own holiday music playing, which
DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife helps put people in the giving mood. If you are at the local grocery or hardware store you may find it helpful to bring your own portable Bluetooth speaker along. Select the random Christmas playlist on your smartphone Spotify app and Bingo! You are a mobile Christmas karaoke party. If equipped with a set of jingle bells, I suggest you tap it on your leg as you would a tambourine. It’s pretty hard to ignore a woman standing in your path who is having her own little Christmas celebration. Bang your bells to the music, and watch how many passers-by join in with the song. If you have a good voice you may even
attempt to sing along – it all depends on your environment. You aren’t busking, after all. But there are several inspiring videos online of Salvation Army bell ringers who have turned the practice of kettle work into performance art. Just Google “Christmas bell ringer” and you will find everything from charming carolers to choreographed dance routines. Most people don’t realize that the annual six-week fundraising campaign executed by the Salvation Army just before Christmas funds most of their programming for the rest of the year. When you are asked to put some of your spare change in the kettle,
you are contributing to the Christmas Hamper program, supporting community dinners, and providing toys for children who might not otherwise receive a gift this year. But you are also helping to fund programs for young moms, providing business attire for hopeful interviewees, and building an emergency fund to benefit those who have lost their homes to fire or other natural disasters. Christmas is a high-stress time for many. It’s an intense pressure-cooker of emotions. When you ring the bells at a kettle, many of the people you meet may be current or future beneficiaries of the Salvation Army. They visit the food bank to feed their families – many of them for the first time. They turn to the organization for help when there is nowhere else to turn – and they get the help they need. When I’m working the kettle, some people come up and tell me their own personal experiences with the Salvation Army. I’d say about 1 in 3 people will actually stop and put some money in the kettle. But very rarely does someone pass by without meeting my
eye and saying something. I’m too flashy to ignore. I’m wearing a green felt elf hat with bells on it. My sweater features a fuzzy white polar bear adorned with Christmas lights that actually flash and change colours. I’m harmonizing to the music, and jingling my bells to the beat. You can walk by me without putting money in the kettle. You don’t even have to wish me a Merry Christmas. But most of you will smile, and I will smile back. Working the kettle is my gift to myself. I walk out of there after two hours, layered in smiles and well-wishes. By being there, I am helping the charity to receive an average $100 per hour – more than I could ever afford to give on my own. It feels great. There is still time for you to give this awesome gift to yourself. Take a stress break from your Christmas preparations and man the kettle for a couple hours in your own neighbourhood.

Here comes a fascinating election year
T
here were four recent federal byelections in Canada, three of which were won by the governing Liberals. And while they are only byelections, it still amazes that a Liberal government that has backed away from electoral reform, has seen its finance minister pilloried for possible ethics violations and hurtful policies, has struck out with a free trade deal with China and is reeling in the renegotiations of the North American Free Trade Agreement, takes three out of four byelections. Imagine if the Liberals were doing everything that they promised in the last election campaign — it would be landslides everywhere. Alabama’s Dec. 12 election, that elected Democrat Doug Jones over Republication judge Roy Moore demonstrated that voters will not accept everything. The allegations of sexual misconduct by Roy Moore, while just allegations and not proven in court, were enough to turn a rock solid Republication state into a Democratic state, albeit by just the narrowest of margins. Voters stood up for decency and were not all slaves to their traditional voting patterns. Just where is this tipping point that sees a politician lose the support of the majority? This is always uncertain, which is what will make this June’s provincial election in Ontario
such an interesting happening. Are people disenchanted and fed up with Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne, given her problems with hydro, political scandals, questionable budgetary accounting measures and more … the list goes on and on! Will the voters decide that it is time for a change or will the Liberals once again turn back the Conservatives, now under leader Patrick Brown? Who knows? But that’s what makes elections so watched — you just never know the outcome. The year 2018 is a municipal election year as well, with voting day in October. This may be a most interesting civic election because it would appear that some incumbent city councillors, perhaps sensing a restlessness among the voters, recently opposed Mayor Jim Watson in advocating for a special extra tax levy for infrastructure spending. This may be the tip of the iceberg, revealing discontent among the populace for the steady-as-you-go ways of the current mayor. Some new ideas may be coming into play and this might — or might not — impact the election that is coming up. That’s why elections are such fascinating events. You just never know when the electorate will opt for different ideas and different faces. So hang onto your hats — 2018 promises to be a most interesting voting year.
Daily crossword hobby boosts vocabulary
L
ast year around this time, I took up a new hobby. Like my grandparents before me, I committed to doing a daily crossword. You may think this is an obvious pastime for a writer. But until I embarked upon a 1,000-clue Christmas crossword last December, I’d never given the activity another thought. Now that I’ve completed at least 365 of them, I realize crosswords are a great way to learn about popular culture, history and geography. My late grandfather’s crossword dictionary-thesaurus in hand, I’m able to stretch my mind in a whole new way, because crosswords, as it turns out, are also a fantastic way to boost one’s vocabulary. Yes, there are certain clues that come up time and again. The word “oreo” frequently fills in the vowel gap. But

Within the top ten list are some pretty unusual words. Recuse, for example, is number three on the list. The word spiked in January and March this year when U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions has to Capital Muse remove himself from investigations of Hilary Clinton. Merriam-Webster tells us recuse means “to disqualify (oneself) as judge in a particular there are many words I’ve never come across before and some which case” and “to remove (oneself) from participation to avoid a conflict of have different meanings than I’d interest.” previously thought. Another rare word that made the Crossword or not, it seems people across the world are stretching their top ten –syzygy. What an awesome word! I have no idea how to say it, vocabularies. Merriam-Webster and frankly I’d never seen the word releases a daily list of word lookuntil this month. But a lot of people ups trending on their site. In early December they released the top ten searched it around the time of the solar eclipse in August and again most searched words of 2017.

Gyro, hurricane, gaffe and empathy. Dotard, an old word that was used by North Korean President Kim Jong Un to describe U.S. President Donald Trump in a tweet is one of my favourites on the list. Apparently, it describes “a person in his or her dotage.” The dictionary folk add that dotage is “a state or period of senile decay marked by decline of mental poise and alertness.” But my absolute favourite is the number one searched word on Merriam-Webster in 2017 – feminism, defined as “the theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes” and “orga-

The true meaning of the season
E
merson reasoned it out this way: if you didn’t expect much for Christmas, you wouldn’t be disappointed. But, my sister Audrey, much older and wiser than both of us, said we put too much emphasis on gifts and missed all the joys of getting ready for that special day, not looking at all the happiness around us. I was much too young to have an opinion one way or the other, and to really understand what they meant. All I knew was that Santa would come regardless, and that’s all that mattered to me. Until that year when Audrey sat me down and gave me something to think about other than what would be under the tree on Christmas morning. We were sitting on the old creston couch in the kitchen. Mother had gone to Briscoe’s General Store to get brown sugar and molasses for her special Christmas cookies. Apple pies and sticky buns had been made early that morning, and were cooling down on the bake table to be wrapped and moved to the summer kitchen to freeze. I could smell apples and cinnamon. And then Audrey pointed to the big Christmas tree that filled one whole corner of the kitchen. All the family had gone back in the bush on the sleigh to pick it out, coming home to a supper of
baked beans and ham cooking in the oven, our wet clothes draped on chairs around the Findlay Oval to dry out. And she reminded me of the fun we had after supper, decorating the tree with the few balls, tinsel saved year after year and the homemade paper links, and how we laughed when Emerson almost fell off the chair putting the angel on top of the tree. I looked over at the tree and tried not to notice the piles of needles that had already fallen off after a week in the hot kitchen, now waiting to be swept into the stove, my heart warmed from the memory of it all. And then Audrey, still with her arm around my shoulder, reminded me of the school concert, and how that year I finally was allowed to play an angel — after years of being a sheep — and how I got a whole bag of hard Christmas candy from Santa. And I remembered the joy of that magical evening at the Northcote School. “And what fun we had at Uncle Alec’s and Aunt Bertha’s last week,” she said, smiling over the memory. And in my mind’s eye, I saw Uncle Alec playing the fiddle and Mother her mouth organ, and all of us singing Christmas carols — their big family with enough children to make

up a whole choir. But, I remembered, too, bundled up in the sleigh cutting across the 20-acre field on a crystal clear night with the stars so bright it looked like daylight, the snow-packed field, a blanket of diamonds and the beautiful sounds coming from the bells around the horses’ necks. Sheer joy filled my whole body remembering the magic of the night. As my sister talked about all the joys of the Christmas season, she never once mentioned the gifts we would find under the tree. And then, she began reminding me of the wonderful dinner we would have when we came home from church on Christmas morning. The turkey would be cooked, the pies would be warming on the very back of the stove, the table would be set and we would be using the white linen tablecloth Mother
had brought from New York, and which we brought out only for very special occasions like Christmas. “Think of that table full of all the foods we love ... and remember there will be lots of people who won’t have a Christmas dinner ... there will be no money for food for them,” Audrey said, looking right at me, and I knew she was telling me there were many things to be thankful for, besides presents under the tree. I hoped she wouldn’t go into Mother’s lecture about being grateful for every morsel we put in our mouths and reminding us of the starving Armenians ... I had no idea who they were, and I still thought they probably lived in Arnprior. I fell asleep on Audrey’s shoulder, waking only when Mother came back from Briscoe’s General Store. May I take this opportunity to wish all my faithful readers a wonderful Christmas, and may you all share it with loved ones around you, remembering the true meaning of this special time.

North Island Link Watermain Class Environmental Assessment Project File Available for Review The City of Ottawa has completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) Study to determine the preferred route for the construction of a new 610 millimetre watermain in Manotick. The North Island Link watermain will provide additional capacity and reliability of water supply to the urban area south of the Jock River. The Class EA determined the preferred watermain route is to follow an alignment along the southern border of David Bartlett Park, and continue north on McLean Crescent to Barnsdale Road where it crosses the Rideau River to Rideau Valley Drive. A new 305 millimetre watermain will also connect to the existing watermain on McLean Street. The study was undertaken in accordance with the requirements for “Schedule B” projects under the Municipal Class EA (2000), as amended 2007, 2011 and 2015. A Class EA Study report has been prepared documenting the problem statement, existing conditions, evaluation of route options and the selection of the preferred solution, public and agency consultation as well as potential construction impacts and mitigation measures.

program in which a family or a business or organization provides the funds or items for the hamper. Patricia Elkins, manager of operations and volunteer coordination at the Kanata Food Cupboard, explained to the St. Isidore students that the Kanata Food Cupboard has other programs such as a back-to-school program which provides school supplies to students in need in September and also a baby support program which provides baby supplies like diapers and formula to mothers in need of help. The Kanata Food Cupboard, which has been running since 1985, has only two paid staff members, Patricia Elkins and also Cara-Leigh Wyllie who is the client and community outreach coordinator. All the others who work at the warehouse, the client shopping location or out in the community collecting food donations at drop-off points are volunteers. The Kanata Food Cupboard is a non-profit charitable organization which provides food assistance to Kanata individuals and families in need. At the client shopping location, clients go around with shopping carts, selecting the food items including fresh produce which they need. It is just like in a grocery store, Ms. Elkins told the students, except that the clients do not pay, unlike at a grocery store.

Over 10,000 client visits each year to Food Cupboard Continued from page 12
The Food Cupboard provides the food free to clients. Clients can visit the Food Cupboard once a month to stock up on food. The Food Cupboard also receives monetary donations which are needed because, at times, food donations slow down, such as in the summer. This is when the Food Cupboard has to purchase food items. However, one benefit from the sum-
mer is that a lot of fresh produce is donated to the Food Cupboard in the summertime. Today the Kanata Food Cupboard is helping about 220 families each month, involving over 800 adults and children. Over 10,000 visits are paid to the Kanata Food Cupboard by clients each year which is why there is such a need for food donations so that the Food Cupboard has enough food supplies on hand to meet the needs of these clients.
It was pointed out to the students that this need for food in the community exists all through the year. At times like Christmas, people seem more aware of the need but the reality is that the need exists year round and the food is required to help the needy in the community all 12 months of the year. The need never stops!
The St. Isidore students, after hearing Ms. Elkins explain all about the Food Cupboard and its operation, understood the value of the Kanata Food Cupboard. George, a grade four student, said that it is important that the Kanata Food Cupboard help people by providing them with food. He said that
he would like to volunteer at the Food Cupboard someday. Another student, Molly, said that she did not realize that the Kanata Food Cupboard was such a big operation. She said that she is glad that the Kanata Food Cupboard is helping families in need in the community, particularly at Christmas time.

Ward 5 West Carleton-December Budget 2018 On December 13, City Council approved the budget for 2018. It caps the residential property tax increase at 2%, increases transit fares by 2.5%, increases most recreation fees by 2% and increases the annual garbage fee by $2. For a rural home with an assessed value of $404,000 the increase is about $62. Council received an update from City Treasurer Marian Simulik, with the latest tax revenue information for the year. The City expects it will end 2017 with a surplus, due in part to $10 million in greater than expected assessment growth. Council voted to use the $10 million to renew additional infrastructure, including streets, sidewalks, bike lanes and buildings. Council will approve the allocation of this spending in early 2018. In total, the City will have an operating budget of $3.4 billion in 2018 and a capital budget of $739 million. Some of budget highlights that will be of interest to Ward 5 residents are: • • • • • • •
$2.3 million more for winter operations, totalling $68.3 million $600,000 to repair potholes, bringing the total for asphalt repairs to $8 million $5.6 million more to resurface roads, a 17% increase, totalling $39.2 million 14 new paramedics and one additional emergency response vehicle, adding to the 36 paramedics hired in this term of Council $12 million to renew the City’s rural infrastructure, including more than $8 million to rehabilitate bridges and bridge culverts $520,000 for Peter Robinson Road Bridge (located in Carp) $3.1 million to reconstruct and upgrade roads in the rural area, including renewing guiderails
Ottawa City Council also approved the 2018 Ottawa Police Service Operating and Capital Budgets. This budget adds 25 new officers to their complement in 2018 and completes a three-year 75 officer hiring plan. That is on top of hiring to replace retirements and other departures. Those new officers will be directed to Frontline, Traffic Unit, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Section. The budget also includes a hiring forecast of 30 new officers every year between 2019 to 2021.
‘Do You Believe’ presented in Carp SPECIAL TO THE REVIEW
The Carp branch of the Ottawa Public Library was rockin’ on Saturday morning, Dec. 16. That’s because “Rock the Arts”, Sarah Argue’s Carp-based puppet troupe was putting on a Creatureville puppet show at the library, with about 25 youngsters plus their parents attending. This puppet show, entitled “Do You Believe,” was the final Canada 150 event of the year at the Carp library. This winter-themed show revolved around the fact that there was no snow in Creatureville despite the best efforts of the red-haired puppet Ned to make it happen. Ned sang the “12 Days of Winter,” a rendition of the familiar “12 Days of Christmas” song that listed such winter items as “three snowballs,” “two warm mittens” and one “one-piece snowsuit.” This song failed to produce any snow so Ned and friends tried to make snow, ending up baking cookies instead. Sarah Argue even recruited Pat, a parent from the audience, to try to entice snow with some facial antics including sticking out his tongue. His antics brought laughter from the audience but no snow to Creatureville. Using salt and pepper to try to cause snow also failed. Salt may look like snow but it sure isn’t, Ned and his puppet friends discovered. It was only with the appearance of Father Snowfall and Lady Ice that snow and ice appeared and only after they encouraged the audience to believe in the magic of the winter season. “Believe,” everyone shouted and when Ned woke up, there was snow on the trees and icicles on the windows. “You need to just believe in the magic,” Ned said before telling the au-
dience “Happy Winter to all and to all a good night.” But the performance did not end with this finale of the 25 minute “Do You Believe” puppet show. Puppeteers Sarah Argue and Jenny Sheffield, who were the hands and voices behind Ned and the other puppets in the show, appeared in front of the performance area where they told about the puppets and demonstrated how they worked, even giving youngsters in the audience hands-on experiences with the puppets. All of puppets of “Rock the Arts” are made by hand, taking anywhere from 12 to 14 hours each to produce.
It was explained that the mouth of a puppet is made out of rubber flooring. Selected youngsters got to move the mouth of a puppet while another group of youngsters got to move a puppet using the rods that are incorporated in the puppet, made out of old coat hangers that are covered with black hockey tape to make them harder to see. Another group of youngsters had the opportunity to move the puppets up and down. In addition, every youngsters was given the opportunity to hold a puppet and give it a hug or high five and have a photo taken with a puppet.

Happy Hanukkah Last week we celebrated the first day of Hanukkah. For 8 days straight, friends and families have gathered together to eat, pray, and light the candles of the menorah, one by one. Hanukkah is about finding light in the darkness and hope in the face of adversity. For all of us, Hanukkah is a reminder that love drowns out hatred, that light drowns out darkness, and that each one of us can be part of building a better, more compassionate world. Chag Semeach to everyone celebrating!

Servicewomen’s Salute I was honoured to participate in the Servicewomen’s Salute at the Canadian War Museum in recognition and honour of former and current Canadian Armed Forces women’s service to Canada, and a century of Canadian women exercising their full suffrage right to vote. As a former member of the Canadian Armed Forces and a current Member of Parliament, I salute all the women who served both in the military and in government who paved the way for us to be where we are today.

Annual Santa’s Seconds Sale at Stonecrest Elementary School BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
It was like a giant garage sale, only all of the items for sale were toys and other gift items. It was the annual Santa’s Seconds Sale at Stonecrest Elementary School in West Carleton which happened in the school gymnasium on Wednesday, Dec. 13. And what a sight the gym was! Tables were set up in a huge rectangle in the centre of the gymnasium, on which all of the assorted toys and possible gift items were displayed. Most of these were gently used items donated by school families in the previous week. But there was more. The stage was the home of jewellery. And one corner was the home of stuffed toys in which students could jump and have fun, while perhaps selecting one as a gift item. The gym was like a Toys ‘R Us – toys everywhere. On the tables were books, CDs, dinosaurs, baseball bats, games, dolls, puzzles, crafts, castles, jars, bowls and more. On and on it went. If you could not find it on these tables, it probably did not exist in toyland or giftland. Students were given the opportunity to go through this toyland of a gym to pick out gifts that they wanted to give. Everything was just one dollar each. Christmas gift wrapping was John Curry/Metroland also available, at 50 cents per item. Stonecrest Elementary School students Eli McMillan (left) and Autumn Hughes (right) The gift wrapping was done by grade six stuassist the school’s fox mascot as he visits the school’s Santa’s Seconds Sale event on dents aka elves at two stations at each side of the Wednesday, Dec. 13. gymnasium.

because all of the funds raised by this annual Santa’s Seconds Sale this year were going to the Tree of Hope campaign associated with the Ottawa Breast Health Centre. This cause was selected as the recipient of the funds raised this year because two staff members of Stonecrest Elementary School have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. One of these, Jodie Sonnenburg, was at the event as she has recently returned to work, happy to be back working after battling the disease. She explained that the funds raised will be going to help purchase two diagnostic machines. Younger students were guided around the Santa’s Second Sale by older students who helped them find the items that they would like to give as gifts to family members this Christmas. Younger students were given the first crack at the toys and gift items in the realization that Christmas is really for young children and their Christmas dreams. The school’s older students had the opportunity to visit the sale after all of the younger children. And there was a lot of gift selection and wrapping going on. At the end of the day, a total of $3,111.10 was raised by this event, all going to help with breast cancer treatment. Taking place in association with this Santa’s Seconds Sale were two student-led initiatives, both associated with the students’ involvement with the Me To We movement. See FUNDS RAISED, page 23
Funds raised going to Tree of Hope campaign Continued from page 22
Students Lucca Dyck and Aimee Bridgstock were raising funds for CHEO by selling Christmas rainbow elastic bands of various colours. A group of students involved with a Me To We project had a basket raffle on the go, raising awareness about tickets, with the proceeds going to the Canadian Lyme Disease Association which deals with ticks and the
harm that they can do to a person. These students included Abby Danis, Paige Bean, Wyatt Dolan, Ty Von Boetticher and Layne Wilson. A special visitor at the sale was the school’s fox mascot who toured around the gymnasium, adding a foxy charm to the event. Stonecrest Elementary School teacher Marcy Storms was the organizer of this year’s Santa’s Seconds Sale at the school. The funds raised by the Santa’s Seconds
Sale is going to the Tree of Hope campaign to help with new equipment and research related to breast cancer. The Tree of Hope campaign was started by two women, Rebecca and Mary Ellen, both of whom were diagnosed with breast cancer in the same week. Both were in their early 40’s with no family history of breast cancer and both with young children and careers. The traditional mammography had not
been able to detect their tumours but with MRI technology, the tumours were identified and treatment including surgery, chemotherapy and radiation worked for them. But their experiences left them with the knowledge that there is a need for better breast cancer screening. So the pair began the Tree of Hope campaign, setting a goal of $250,000 to fund new breast screening technology for Ottawa. The pair ended up raising $370,000 to date, so that the life changing new Tesla MRI technology could be funded. In addition, the additional and current funding is going to acquire a new ultrasound machine for screening as well as to help fund ongoing research. The Santa’s Seconds Sale funding from Stonecrest Elementary School will be helping with this funding. The Breast Health Centre in Ottawa was founded in 1997 and since then the number of patients being served as increased by 40 percent. The Centre now cares for over 33,000 patients, with a minimum of 1,000 new patients being added each year.

We cannot survive on this besieged planet without the natural world remaining healthy. Our species has seen the rise and fall of economic giants such as Eaton’s and Sears. In Nature, many species of plants and animals go through similar cycles with the only difference being that they tend to recover after a “bust.” Of all population cycles, none is more impressive than that of the local Meadow Vole. Meadow Voles are commonly called Field Mice. However, mice have longer tails used for balance when climbing shrubs and trees. Jumping Mice have the longest tails of all, important when these miniature Kangaroos go leaping about. Voles, however, have abbreviated tails, and don’t leap or climb. They are the most common rodents all through Ontario, ranging from extreme southern Ontario to Hudson Bay. Their habitat ranges from fields and swamps to tundra and open forests. Voles have a varied diet, with insects, plant seeds and the bark of shrubs being eaten. The recent snowfalls are a good thing for their winter survival because they and other small mammals (such as Deer Mice) utilize the under-the-snow transit way known as the subnivean space. This crystallized space between the snow and the ground offers easy transit, safety, and warmth; it is often only a few degrees below zero while temperatures plunge above the snow. There are two things concerning Meadow Voles that are impressive. One is that they are
CALENDARS NOW AVAILABLE AT:
food for almost every predatory animal in this province. Owls and hawks eat them. Foxes and coyotes eat them. Weasels and snakes eat them. Even Great Blue Herons eat them. They are in many ways the currency of the wild. The other unusual feature is that Meadow Voles undergo one of the greatest fluctuations in population of any animal on this planet. They can be exceedingly scarce some years and in others so abundant that they run out from underfoot at almost every step. Meadow Voles quickly rise in numbers when food is plentiful and predation pressure low. Females can have multiple litters per year with as many as 11 young per litter. Their pregnancy lasts a mere three weeks and most remarkably, a female vole can reproduce at the tender age of 25 days! So when the population starts to grow, it can grow exponentially. At peak populations, densities of 600 voles per hectare have been recorded. Whenever animal populations go through a “boom” in the “real world,” they inevitably experience a crash in numbers, a “bust.” The Nature email is mruntz@start.ca

$10 million windfall for crumbling roads BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Roads and snow were at the forefront of the discussion of the city’s 2018 budget on Dec. 13. In what has become status quo under the reign of Mayor Jim Watson, property taxes will go up by two per cent — or $76 for the average homeowner. Bus fares will rise by 2.5 per cent. But the tax rate wasn’t the big debate on budget day. A cash infusion ended up being the ultimate compromise to maintain the city’s capital assets without having to go back into taxpayers’ pockets. The money was met with some criticism, as a group of eight councillors — including veteran councillors Rick Chiarelli and Diane Deans — had made headlines in the week leading up to the council meeting for proposing a dedicated infrastructure levy to shore up spending on crumbling roads. Deans said she wanted to congratulate her seven colleagues who helped “focus” the conversation on the budget. She said the group recognized deferring repairs costs more in the long run. But a last-minute motion from Watson took full advantage of better-thanforecast numbers — which edged the city into a surplus, rather than a deficit. It meant there was an additional $10 million to play with. “This underlines the need to check your lottery numbers on the way to council. It’s a Christmas miracle,” Chiarelli said. The amount forecast for the city-wide reserves at the end of the year was $12 million. The city treasurer said that number now looks like $22 million. Watson’s motion took that extra cash and pumped it into spending on city infrastructure — things like parks and roads. Chiarelli said residents are unhappy with the city’s service standards when it comes to road repair and snow removal. There’s currently a $70-million gap between what’s being spent and what needs to be spent in the city on renewal of capital assets -- that includes everything from roads to public parks. “Residents aren’t getting the service they expected when they purchased it,” Chiarelli said. “The fact that those areas are constantly over budget highlights the need for the city to get back to core services,” he added. Kevin Wylie, who heads the city’s public works department, says the budget numbers this year are based on an expected accumulation of 220 centimetres of snow. He wasn’t able to say exactly what the predicted snowfall for last year was as compared to the actual. The city has only had a surplus in the snow removal budget twice in the last 10 years. Most of the extra money came from the supplementary tax roll — homes that were added to the city’s tax base midway through 2017.
City treasurer Marian Simulik said that some city departments also performed better than forecast. “Managers worked very hard to control costs, so in some areas we went from a deficit to a slight surplus,” she said. The money is almost exactly the same amount that the proposed infrastructure levy would have raised. “This motion allows us to live within our means without accumulating more debt, or go back to taxpayers for more money,” Watson said. There was some back-and-forth about who knew what when it came to the extra money. It seems Simulik had known the extra money since last week, but only communicated the news to city manager Steve Kanellakos. Watson said he’d only finished crafting the motion the night before the budget debate — and added he’d only mentioned it to some of council to get support.
out funding,” Deans said. The other Deans motion provides $6,000 to add accessible portable toilets to 10 city parks. “There are some positives in the budget, and many were added around the table today,” she said. Another motion, crafted by planning chair and councillor Jan Harder, would see the city use any extra dividends from Hydro Ottawa towards roads and the city’s energy evolution initiative. ––There isn’t a clear estimate on how much — if any — dividends may be available this spring, but whatever turns up will be split. Two-thirds of the mystery amount will go towards roads, and the other one-third to environmental initiative. A motion by River Coun. Riley Brockington to split the money evenly between the two areas fell flat. Watson said the city’s already doing a lot of work on the climate-change front, and the vote on the original motion at the finance and economic development committee was unanimous.
ARNPRIOR'S HISTORIC THEATRE
DISSENT
A total of five councillors bucked the majority and voted against the 2018 budget. Deans said it was because she felt the numbers were overly optimistic. “We budget based on not getting too much snow, getting an unexpected windfall the day of council and that things like ice rentals will level out,” she said, adding council needs to send the message that sticking to a two per cent cap has costs. “A day of reckoning is coming in 2019,” she cautioned. Chiarelli has been a vocal opponent of the budget, calling it fake when the draft was introduced. “It’s sleight of hand,” he told Metroland Media when discussing the numbers last month. “It’s Ottawa, we know it’s going to snow.” Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury dissented on the community and protective services budget due to long wait times for long-term care and social housing. The list of eligible seniors waiting on a spot in the city’s four long-term care homes is 2,318, according to Fleury. Watson said he’s been “lucky” to have unanimous budgets for six of the eight years he’s led council. “You have 24 independent politicians, I am not always going to agree with everyone and everyone’s not always going to agree with me,” he said, adding the debate is “good for democracy.” BY THE NUMBERS
Two motions by Deans added money for social services. One provides a $100,000 one-time fund for social service agencies that currently don’t receive money from the city. Janice Burelle, the general manager of community and protective services, will complete a review of the funding mechanisms for social agencies. “There are so many amazing groups in the city doing yeoman’s work with-

A Very Merry Christmas It’s late December once again and we all come to reflect on the year that has come and gone. Each year we find time seems to go by faster and faster and we end up having less time to concentrate on the truly important things in life, friends and family. That is why we all are so privileged and blessed to have this special time of the year where we can slow down, take stock, and enjoy this season of giving. This year I think of how blessed I am to welcome another member to my family into the world, my new grandson Thomas. This year, as I have in years past, I wish you all a very merry Christmas. May god bless you and your families in the new year.

Councillor El-Chantiry to seek updated flood plain mapping BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
Updated flood plain mapping for a stretch of the Carp River adjacent to a development site would seem to be a priority. At least it would seem to be a priority in the view of city of Ottawa West Carleton-March ward councillor Eli El-Chantiry in whose ward the site presently sits, although it will be moving into the urban ward of Kanata North councillor Marianne Wilkinson as development takes place. Speaking at a Dec. 12 public meeting about this site which is termed a Kanata Highlands Urban Expansion Area, councillor El-Chantiry said that he will be asking the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) to change its flood plain mapping agenda so that the reach of the Carp River adjacent to this proposed development area is done first. Existing MVCA plans are that the flood plain
mapping for this area would be done by 2021. The most recent flood plain mapping for this stretch of the Carp River adjacent to this proposed development land dates from 1983. Janet Mason of the Friends of the Carp River, who sits on the MVCA Board of Directors along with councillor El-Chantiry and three others from the city of Ottawa, is one who does not see how a plan can be formulated for the proposed development site without updated flood plain mapping of the river in that area. She pointed out at the meeting that the current flood plain mapping is way out of date, stating that any plan for this development site cannot be finalized until new flood plain mapping is done. She expressed certainty that the flood line would be getting bigger with any new mapping, given the development taking place upstream of the site, the impact of climate change which is causing an increase in water volumes
and the Carp River restoration project that is happening upstream as well. She pointed out that Huntmar Drive on the western edge of the site was under water twice this year. 820 Huntmar Drive is the formal address of this development site under discussion, although any access will be from Terry Fox Drive as the Carp River flows between Huntmar Drive and the part of the site which can be developed. Ms. Mason also warned about storm water coming onto the development site across Terry Fox Drive, adding this to the mix. “The whole water issue is extremely critical to this development,” she said, suggesting that the Carp River in the area of this proposed development may have to undergo restoration so that it can absorb the water runoff from the development. She also mentioned concerns pertaining to this proposed development not only with regard to water and flood plain mapping but also regard-
ing species at risk on the site and the presence of over 200 butternut trees on the site as well. City planner Robin van de Lande, who is the project lead on the Kanata Highlands Urban Expansion Area Study regarding this site, responded that there are compensation possibilities that could cover both the species at risk concerns and the butternut tree situation. He took the concern about updated flood plain mapping of the adjacent Carp River under advisement but did not commit to requiring such updated mapping. Allan Joyner of the Huntley Community Association lamented the lack of follow up by the city on input provided at a previous meeting about this proposed development. He reiterated Ms. Mason’s contention that the storm water drainage from both this proposed development and any development on the other side of Terry Fox Drive be dealt with together. He noted the success of linear
parks in the Carp area in response to comments about the parkland that will be allocated in the 28 hectare development. Based on an estimated 600 housing units, two hectares of parkland will be provided by the developer. One proposal is for this parkland to be in the form of a linear part stretching along the base of the adjacent Kanata Highlands while two other proposals are for the parkland to be in traditional park forms in the development. It was pointed out by planner van de Lande that city parks personnel tend to want the traditionally shaped parkland rather than linear parkland so that activities can be programmed for the parks. Mr. Joyner wondered when a developer or the city will decide to make a better community rather than just every single time coming up with a development that looks the same as every other one. He received a round of applause from the 40 people in attendance on making this remark. See THREE PRELIMINARY, page 31

Three preliminary concept plans presented for proposed development Continued from page 30
This public meeting about this proposed development was being held to present three preliminary concept plans for the development of the site. Aspects of each plan include low density residential, low to medium density residential, a flood plain and flood plain buffer, a Blandings turtle corridor crossing the site, a storm water management facility and streets. The triangular site is bounded by Terry Fox Drive on the south, the Kanata Highlands to the east and Huntmar Drive across the Carp River to the west. These preliminary concept plans have just been developed. Even councilors El-Chantiry and Wilkinson had just seen them. The site was included in the urban area of the city of Ottawa but such inclusion means that a comprehensive urban expansion area study must be conducted before development can take place. Councillor Wilkinson commented at the meeting that there is concern
about development of this parcel of land since it is an environmentally sensitive area. However, despite this, she acknowledged that development has to be allowed on the site although public input can determine how it is developed. Later in the meeting, project planning lead van de Lande reiterated this point, saying that the land has been included in the urban area by the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) which is why this comprehensive planning process about it is underway. “I can’t undo what the OMB did,” he stated. It was back in 2013 that Richcraft, the developer, began the comprehensive planning process pertaining to this site. An existing conditions report was produced which brought forth a number of comments. At the meeting, Julie Carrara of Fotenn Consultants presented the three preliminary concept plans for the development, commenting that they offer three different ways to develop the site. She suggested that ideas
from all three preliminary plans will be chosen to create a preferred concept plan for the development. A treed area along the north side of the development will not be developed, as shown in all three preliminary concept plans. There is a 45 metre wide corridor to allow for Blandings turtles to cross the site from the Carp River to the Highlands area. The location of this corridor changes in one of the plans but it is included in all three. There is a high density housing block in all three plans. City policy states that ten percent of such new housing must be high density. We are looking at picking the best pieces from each preliminary concept plan to come up with a preferred development plan, Ms. Carrara stated. Planning lead van de Lande said that the city wants to hear from the public about what are the features of each preliminary concept plan that are liked, so that a preferred concept plan incorporating these can be developed. Input is expected to be submitted within 60 days.
The next public meeting regarding this Kanata Highlands Urban Expansion Area will deal with a preferred concept plan for the development. But councillor El-Chantiry made it clear to those at the meeting that there were a lot of hard questions posed at this meeting and that there will be more discussion of this proposed de-
velopment in the future. “This is not the end. This is the beginning of the process,” councillor ElChantiry said. Comments about the proposed development and this Kanata Highlands Urban Expansion Area Study can be submitted at Ottawa.ca/kanatahighlands.

‘Christmas in Corkery’ at St. Michael’s School BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
A roaring, wood-eating bonfire blazed in the St. Michael Catholic School yard at Corkery on Thursday evening, Dec. 14. It was one of the outdoor attractions at the school’s annual Christmas concert, this year called “Christmas in Corkery.” The bonfire spread not only its warmth but its glow across the adjacent snow covered ground which was the departure point for sleigh rides, with two giant horses pulling the sleigh over the snow to the enjoyment of those on board. Several lighted Christmas trees adorned the school yard where the chief focus of attention was the outdoor stage where classes of students performing, singing Christmas John Curry/Metroland songs as they were watched A roaring bonfire, fueled by firewood, lights up and also and heard by a crowd of warms up the dark evening air at the Christmas concert parents and siblings who enevent at St. Michael Catholic School at Corkery on Dec. 14. circled the front of the stage.
And if the chilly evening darkness became uncomfortable, it was only a few steps to the door to the inside of the school gymnasium which was jammed with families at tables set up there. There were lots of munchies like popcorn and chili and hot chocolate was a favourite. And who was that over there in the corner with the Christmas tree? Well, none other than
Santa Claus himself, along with Mrs. Claus. Youngsters were able to visit with Santa in this “Santa’s Corner,” spending a little time on his knee as they told him what they hoped to get for Christmas. And they were able to get their photo taken with Santa at the same time! St. Michael Catholic School at Corkery holds this annual outdoor/indoor Christmas concert before Christmas ev-
ery year as it has now become a Christmas tradition. It began during the tenure of former St. Michael Catholic School principal Bob Santos and has continued ever since. Indeed, principal Santos took the idea with him to his current school, St. Stephen Catholic School in Stittsville where a similar outdoor Christmas concert event is now held every year as well.

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.
sudoku
Barsaeinrs
horoscopes
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 You may be operating on some false information, Aries. It’s better to get the facts before going forward in the coming days. You may end up changing directions midweek.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Running yourself ragged, especially early in the week, will cause all of your energy stores to fizzle out, Leo. You need to learn to pace yourself better for the long haul.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you might be seeking answers in the wrong places. Refine your parameters and look in a new direction, especially if a resolution is taking awhile.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, if you are feeling upset because someone is getting more attention than you, you may need to focus your thoughts elsewhere. Think of what makes you special.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 You are always one to lend a helping hand, Virgo. But now you may need to call in some favors of your own. Don’t be afraid to ask for help this week.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, if family life is taking over and tiring you out, shift your gears in another direction. You need to recharge and let your other interests take over for awhile.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Your emotions may be all over the map in the coming days, Gemini. The secret is to surround yourself with people who will guide you in the right direction.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, think financial decisions through before acting. Patience is a friend when making important financial decisions, and it’s time to take such matters more seriously.
AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, words shared at work may have you worried you’ve burned some bridges. It’s not the case. Others still look to you for help and guidance and value your input.
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, there is a time for joking around and a time for being serious. This week you may have to lean toward the latter. Others may not share your joviality right now.
SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, try something outside of your wheelhouse in the coming days. You have a knack for teaching yourself new skills, and you are a fast learner.
PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 It’s common to make life assessments throughout the year, Pisces. Jot down some easy changes you can make for the future.
