$10 million windfall offers up solution 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-than-forecast 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.” 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 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. 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 without 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 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.
Chris Neil retires from Senators BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com
Chris Neil laced up his skates for the Ottawa Senators Alumni Classic on Parliament Hill Dec. 15. The Sens forward was visibly emotional as he announced his retirement at the Canadian Tire Centre on Dec. 14, and thanked the many people who have been involved in his career, including his family, his teammates, Sens staff and the fans. “Thanks to this amazing city that I now call home and to the amazing fans that have supported my career,” he said during a press conference. Neil spent his entire 16-year career with the Sens playing in 1,026 games – the third highest in the team’s history. He also set the bar for the team’s all-time career penalty minutes with a total of 2,522 minutes. But his most impressive stat, according to Sens GM Pierre Dorion, was how he played the game. “Chris played as hard as anyone and was never suspended for a single game,” he said. “Chris was a leader, a warrior - one of the toughest men to ever wear the jersey.”

Ottawa Senators forward Chris Neil greets fans during the home opener in 2016. A former sixth-round pick of the Sens in 1998, Neil joined the team in 2001 as a 22-year-old. In 1,026 regular season games, he scored 112 goals and 138 assists for a total of 250 points. Neil also played in 95 playoff games – 20 of those in the run to the Stanley Cup final in 2006-07. “He served as a great role model for the game, a great role model for kids and balanced it with being a great family man,” said assistant GM Randy Lee. “He should be remembered for delivering some of the biggest hits in the NHL, taking on some of the toughest players and scoring some really big goals for us at critical moments.” Off the ice, Neil and his wife
Caitlin, who live in West Carleton, have raised thousands of dollars for Roger Neilson House, a pediatric palliative care facility, and were named as honoury cochairs in 2011. Neil said he will continue to be involved with Neilson House and other community initiatives. And although he’s retiring from the NHL, Neil said he’s not ready to hang up his skates just yet. “I hope my demonstration of hard work has been an example to some and that it shows you can do anything if you decide to do it,” he said. Neil will be recognized at the CTC on Jan. 25 when Ottawa hosts the Boston Bruins.

Southminster development gets go ahead
Nussbaum a ‘little disappointed’ building height only down by 60 cm BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
CORRECTION NOTICE In the ad beginning December 26, 2017, the two Gift with Purchase offers on page 2 were printed with incorrect valid dates. The correct valid dates are 12/26 – 12/28/17. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
A $1 million-deal between Southminster United Church and Windmill Developments was approved by council on Dec. 13. The development – which will replace Memorial Hall with four, three-storey townhouses and a 14unit apartment building – has been the focus of some ire from area residents, who argued the building was too high and would ruin views of the Rideau Canal, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Members of the city’s planning committee, which is responsible for overseeing any requests for zoning bylaw amendments, decided to forward the application on with a recommendation that staff work with the developer on height. The result was bringing the apartment building down by 60 centimetres. The change did make the building short than the church
parapet. Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Tobi Nussbaum, who authored the motion asking staff to work with the developer on height, said he was a “little disappointed “ to see the height only come down that much. Prior to the development being review by the planning committee, the National Capital Commission and Parks Canada both wrote the city, expressing concerns about canal sight lines. As the file progresses to the site plan stage, it will get a second look from the city’s urban design review panel, and Parks Canada and the NCC will be involved in that process, staff said. “This is truly a conflicted file,” Capital Coun. David Chernushenko said. “I am not taking the easy way out by voting against it.” Chernushenko said it’s a good fit with the city’s intensification policy. “I know I will take flak on both sides,” he said. “But it’s the best we

Residents, Parks Canada and the National Capital Commission have all expressed concerned about the height of the apartment building proposed by Windmill Developments on the Southminster United Church property. can achieve here today.” When speaking to the planning committee, Rev. Trisha Elliott, who has training in revitalizing congregations, said if the church isn’t bleeding money to do costly repairs on unneeded space, it can get back
to the work of growing its members. Dwindling numbers in the church congregation and costly repairs for the hall contributed to the decision to sell off some of the church property, Elliott said.

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.

Board raises $533,362 SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Submitted
At the unveiling of the record among of $533,362 raised by staff at the Ottawa Catholic School Board for United Way Ottawa with students from several schools holding the individual numbers forming the grand total are (back row, from left) Brittany Matthews, United Way Donor Relations Officer; Dennise TaylorGilhen, United Way Vice-President of Community Impact; OCSB principal Tim Slack, OCSB United Way campaign co-chair; Kelly McKibbin, OCSB United Way campaign co-chair; Sandra Falconer, OCSB campaign reporting coordinator; and Denise Andre, OCSB director of education.
“Pledge It Forward” was the phrase used to encourage United Way campaign donations at the Ottawa Catholic School Board (OCSB) this year. And it sure worked as the School Board raised a record amount, $533,362.93 in just eight weeks. Not only that but 80 percent of the employees participated in the campaign, a larger percentage than in any previous year. This year’s campaign amount means that over the past 11 years, the OCSB has raised over six million dollars for United Way Ottawa. This year it is one of the top

workplace campaigns in the city of Ottawa for the seventh year in a row. It was OCSB United Way campaign co-chairs Tim Slack and Kelly McKibbin who coined the campaign phrase “Pledge It Forward,” touching on a spirit of repaying your own blessings in life by offering support to others through support for the United Way. The OCSB’s campaign total was unveiled in a unique way with overtones of the TV show “Let’s Make A Deal,” with its theme song playing as the two co-chairs tried to arrange the numbers to correctly reflect the grand total. It took several tries but the total
was eventually revealed through the numbers, bringing forth a burst of applause and approval from those at the unveiling ceremony. The numbers were being held by seven students from OCSB schools including St. George, Dr. F.J. McDonald and St. Emily elementary schools and St. Joseph high school. Special guests at the unveiling ceremony included Dennise Taylor-Gilhen, United Way Vicepresident of Community Impact, and Brittany Matthews, United Way Donor Relations Officer. Representing the school board at the unveiling were Director of Education Denise Andre and Board chair Elaine McMahon.

Mayor Jim Watson, joined by Councillors and Ottawa 2017 Co-Chairs Mathieu Fleury and Jean Cloutier and by Ottawa 2017 Executive Director Guy Laflamme, presented the Mayor’s City Builder Award to the Ottawa 2017 Volunteers on Dec. 13.
Volunteers receive Mayor’s City Builder Award STAFF
At the last council meeting of the year, Mayor Jim Watson chose to honour volunteers that helped out with the work of Ottawa 2017. The action-packed calendar of events was made possible by the work of 2,500 volunteers, who contributed 25,000 hours spanning over
the year. From Red Bull Crashed Ice to La Machine, the capital hosted 100 events to celebrate the country’s 150th year. For Red Bull Crashed Ice, volunteers had to work outside for long stretches in minus 30-degree weather. For La Machine it was the opposite, often 14-hour days in +30-degree weather.
The volunteers set an example that has inspired everyone who interacted with them,” a release from the city’s media department reads. “From the Ottawa 2017 team to the millions of people who visited Ottawa during the year. They have set a new standard in volunteerism and their contributions will be
remembered for years to come.” The Mayor’s City Builder Award is a civic honour created to recognize an individual, group or organization that has, through outstanding volunteerism or exemplary action, demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to making our city a better place.

OPINION
Connected to your community
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. As a newly-minted word nerd, I think it’s during this month’s supermoon, so a pretty cool way to see what’s been it’s number six on the list. MerriamWebster defines syzygy as “the top of mind for people this year.
nearly straight-line configuration of three celestial bodies (such as the sun, moon, and earth during a solar or lunar eclipse) in a gravitational system.” Others in the top ten? 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-

mas Eve, has so far generated $210,000 as of Dec. 11, representing a $30,000 dip compared to this time last year. The 2016 kettle campaign brought in $571,000, just shy of last year’s $625,000 goal. The organization needed to set a more ambitious target this year, even though last year’s goal wasn’t fully met, in order to help more than 20,000 people across Ottawa — and counting. “It’s because our needs have been increasing and we have been seeing that in a lot of different areas,” said Caroline Franks, an Ottawa-based

As well, there are more newcomers settling in Ottawa, many who are not equipped for winter.

The dollars also support the Salvation Army’s Bethany Hope Centre located in the Carlingwood area, which assists parents under the age of 30 and their children. A new nourish program launched within the past year has served 10,000 school lunches for children and taught parents how to cook healthy meals on a budget. “We’re seeing increases in our community meal lines, as well,” Franks said of a program that provides breakJessica Cunha/Metroland fast and lunch to people in need. “We The Salvation Army in Ottawa is appealing for help to make up a monetary shortfall in its know that we’re going to need more (support) just to help people through 2017 Christmas kettle campaign. 2018.” Typically, the Salvation Army will see more cash donations come in closer to Christmas. “We will put out a call and we let people know the urgency of meeting our goal of helping people all year long,” said Franks. She didn’t know whether the minimum wage increase in Ontario is having an impact on what people can give. Asked whether the controversy around the organization’s plan to construct a large men’s shelter in Vanier may be having an impact, Franks said the decline in donations is not unique to Ottawa. The organization is experiencing a 25-per-cent shortage nationally compared to 2016. There are more than 2,000 kettle locations across Canada. “We’re hearing from our kettle attendants at the mall that foot traffic is lower,” Franks added. “A lot of people are doing their shopping online.” The charity’s fillthekettle.com website gives people the option of making an online donation, and donors can choose the city where they want their dollars to go. Cash collected at volunteermanned kettles also stays local. “Every dollar raised goes toward need in the community,” said Franks. “We know that Ottawa is a generous community. We’re grateful for their support and they know the dollars stay right here in Ottawa. We’re counting on them.” Volunteers will be stationed at kettles across Ottawa Mondays to Saturdays until Dec. 24. BY ERIN MCCRACKEN

Eighth collection of short stories for Cyril Dabydeen SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Cyril Dabydeen has written a new collection of short stories. “My Undiscovered Country” is the eighth collection of fictional short stories for the former Poet Laureate of Ottawa (1984-1987) and long time Sandy Hill resident. Known as a “short story master,” the latest volume of stories centre around his life as an immigrant from Guyana and the Caribbean interspersed with the urban landscape of Canada and in particular Ottawa where he has lived for decades. The stories feature a strong narra-
tive style that encompasses fantasy and reality as ethnic and cultural roots commingle. They reflect the merging of the tropics and the temperate. “My Undiscovered Country” features stories by the Guyana-born Dabydeen that include gritty poetic descriptions and finely ironic twists as he confronts his Asian and Caribbean-South America identity with his experience of life in Canada. In each of his stories, he delves deeply into his characters’ feelings and psyches. He challenges the reader to explore with him, finding out who
we truly are, where we come from and where we are going. His characters depict a range of ideas associated with the human and natural environment. This latest collection of stories by Cyril Dabydeen follows upon such books as “My Multi-Ethnic Friends” by Guernica Publications, “Berbice Crossing” by Peepal Tree Press of the UK, “North of the Equator,” “My Brahmin Days,” “Black Jesus and other Stories” and “Jogging in Havana.” He has also written full length novels such as “Drums of My Flesh” which was

the winner of the Guyana Prize and was a 2007 nominee of the IMPACDublin Prize. His work has appeared in over 60 literary magazines and anthologies around the world. He has been a guest at the International Conference on the Short Story in both Europe and North America. In addition, Dabydeen has taught creative writing at the University of Ottawa for many years. “My Undiscovered Country,” published by Mosaic Press, is available at Books at Beechwood. The new book and its stories have been featured on Carleton University’s CKCU radio in a two-part series which aired on Dec. 7 and 14 under the title “Cyril Dabydeen’s Undis-

covered Country.” In this radio series, host Dr. Lloyd Stanford was in conversation with Dabydeen about the place of this newest collection of short stories in his literary output which includes seven other collections of short stories, over ten collections of poetry and four novels. Dabydeen also did an on-air reading, displaying the engaging delivery and sonorous baritone voice for which he is known. Reviews of “My Undiscovered Country: Short Stories by Cyril Dabydeen” have praised Dabydeen for his “distinctly cross-cultural imagination” and have identified him as “one of Canada’s most popular post-colonial writers.” Connected to your community

Finding out what is 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.

Revitalization plan for Overbrook given green light by council The city’s plans to improve life for residents of Overbrook and Heatherington were approved by council on Dec. 13. The projects receive $250,000 in funds to start work on a series of big and small projects. An example of one of the bigger projects is planning for a redevelopment of a city works yard at 1170 Heatherington Road. Smaller things include more trees and garbage cans at Fairlea Park. The city’s community and protective services committee on Nov. 30.
Gloucester-Southgate Coun Diane Deans championed the project – called Building Better, Revitalized Neighbourhoods. Deans, whose ward is home to Heatherington and Fairlea, said she has been hoping to get a crack at improving things for residents of the low-income, high-crime area for most of the time she’s been on council. “This is the best crack at it,” she said, adding she thinks Ottawa is behind other cities when it comes to looking at our most vulnerable neighbourhoods. The city’s planning committee approved the three neighbourhoods, Heatherington, Vanier South and Carlington
in March 2016, but staff have since recommended a community development plan for Carlington. “It really broke down the silos at city hall,” Deans said. Peter Stockdale, a resident who was part of the working group, said that poverty has become increasingly racialized. He added he’d like to see all levels of government involved in the plan. One resident wanted to ensure that low-cost social housing remain in the neighbourhood. He said there’s too often a focus on social housing as a “stepping stone.” “How can you make it a
home if it’s called a stepping stone?” he asked, adding he thinks the plan sounds like the city telling residents what they want. Clarke Christy, however, said he’s glad to see movement on the city work yard. Most of the comments see the land as a potential home for a community hub that would offer a host of services – including an entrepreneurial centre, medical clinic and a community garden. OVERBROOK
The city also identified a potential home for a community hub in Overbrook at Rideau High School, which has been
shuttered by the public school board as part of an accommodation review process. “The City will support the initiatives by community groups and service agencies to create a Community Hub on this site,” the staff report reads. Long-term plans include refining urban design principles for St. Laurent Boulevard, as well as a master plan to guide development in the area. Staff said a draft plan was sent out for public comment in September. But Stephen McNamee, a member of the Overbrook Community Association, said residents only found out about the plans by seeing the agenda

for the Nov. 28 planning committee. He said there’s too much focus on the plan for the St. Laurent commercial district. Residents want to see a plan for a safe connection between Overbrook and the St. Laurent light rail station. “We’d also like to see a review of the Queen Mary (Street), Vanier Parkway intersection,” he said. While the project mostly received accolades from the city’s planning committee, River Coun. Riley Brockington did caution that there’s not going to be much money left in the pot for quick hit items as part of the Carlington CDP.

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.
sudoku
n i a r B e a s e rs
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!
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.

Canadian War Museum acquires Canadian soldier’s Victoria Cross SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
The Canadian War Museum has acquired a Victoria Cross awarded to a Canadian soldier for his bravery at the battle of Passchendaele in the First World War. The Victoria Cross is the highest award presented for military valour. This particular Victoria Cross was awarded in 1917 to Corporal Colin Fraser Barron of the Canadian Expedi-
tionary Force for his heroism at Passchendaele in Belgium. Corporate and later Sergeant Barron was recognized for his single-handed attack on a cluster of three enemy machine guns. “This medal is a testament to one soldier’s courage and a symbol of the service and sacrifice of all Canadian soldiers who fought on the Western Front a century ago,” said Mark O’Neill, president and
CEO of the Canadian Museum of History. “Its acquisition is especially meaningful this year as we commemorate the centenary of Passchendaele, Vimy Ridge and other iconic battles of the First World War.” With this acquisition, the Canadian War Museum now holds five of the nine Victoria Crosses awarded to Canadians for their bravery at Passchendaele, a battle that
is known for its carnage and misery of warfare on the Western Front. The battle also revealed the grit and perseverance of the Canadian Corps. Fighting on a landscape of mud and water-filled shell craters, the Canadians captured their objective but suffered terrible losses in the process with about 16,000 killed or wounded. Sergeant Barron was born
in Scotland and emigrated to Canada in 1910. Also a veteran of the Second World War, he died in 1958 in Toronto. The Canadian War Museum purchased his complete medal set through an auction house in London, England. The purchase was made possible thanks to the support of Leslie Barron Kerr, Corporal Barron’s greatgranddaughter as well as by the donor-supported Na-
