Astronaut’s online visit offers out-of-this-world life lessons Ridgemont students speak to Chris Hadfield during 30-minute Skype session erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Yassin Mohamed sat glued to the television set, watching as the Soyuz capsule carrying three astronauts, including Canada’s Chris Hadfield, touched down on Earth in May 2013 following a 144-day mis-

sion aboard the International Space Station.

Little did he know then that he would one day have the chance to get to meet Hadfield.

The 16-year-old Alta Vista resident was one of about 40 Ridgemont High School Grade 9 and Grade 11 students who

had the unique opportunity on Jan. 7 to speak with Hadfield during a 30-minute online Skype video session.

“After his most recent voyage he got really famous on YouTube and the news and everything, and to be able to talk to him and ask him questions … was really exciting,” said Yassin, a Grade 11 student and Alta Vista resident.

The students asked the retired astronaut 20 questions about his work, life and his mission as the first Canadian to command the space station.

“I was pretty excited to know that we would get the chance to meet him because he’s also really motivational in the way he says things,” said Grade 11 student Beth Oake, a South Keys resident. “He uses metaphors that are really easy to understand.”

Hearing first hand what it was like to live in space and conduct science experiments not only engaged the students but their teachers as well.

“It’s kind of surreal because you’ve seen him on these YouTube videos before, whether it’s the experiments or music videos,” said Grade 11 physics teacher Lars Jungclaus. “But just to see him on the screen there, you kind of have to think for a second: ‘Oh, I’m watching another Chris Hadfield video.’ And then you’re like, ‘No, wait a second. He’s actually Skyping with us.’ It was pretty cool.”

Like Jungclaus, Grade 9 science teacher Ian Winter jumped at the chance to connect his students with Hadfield, who spoke from Ireland during the video call.

“It fits my curriculum because in Grade 9 we do have an earth and space science strand,” said Winter.

“And as well, just to be able to talk to somebody who’s actually been out in space, I thought would be a really

to do,” Winter said.

In his goal to become an astronaut, Hadfield said he tried to better himself each day in order to become more prepared for his future career.

Originally from Milton, Ont., Hadfield joined air cadets to develop leadership skills and learn about planes.

He went on to learn the Russian and German languages, knowing that one day he might work with people from other countries. He also became very well educated.

Hadfield recognized during his talk the challenge for youth in deciding a future career path when they don’t know all of the available options.

“The analogy he used is it’s like going into restaurants and asking what you’d like to order when you haven’t even seen the menu yet,” said Jungclaus.

The retired commander said it’s about exploring options, deciding the steps now that you want to take and the skills you want to develop to realize your dream, and go for it.

“And don’t let anything hold you back,” Jungclaus said of Hadfield’s message. “Just because no one’s done that before doesn’t mean there’s no reason why you shouldn’t try.”

“He had that goal in mind,” said Winter. “He was very deliberate. He used that word as well in terms of encouraging the students to be deliberate with what you do to prepare yourself to get to where you want to be.”

“He also said you don’t have to wait until university to start working towards what you want to become,” Beth said, adding Hadfield encouraged them to spend time now researching topics they’re interested in.

“He said that if you just sit on the couch all weekend, that’s going to change who you are Sunday night, than if you spend that time researching.”

Residents, Couns. applaud plans to widen Airport Parkway Public’s input sought at first of three open houses Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Without the widening of the heavily congested Airport Parkway and the O-Train extension to Riverside South, traffic will only get worse, says the association president representing Riverside Park.

David Hutchinson’s community regularly experiences traffic backlogs on Riverside Drive, some of which are due to motorists opting out of using the predominantly two-lane parkway.

Both the parkway and Riverside Drive are bursting at the seams due to booming growth in Riverside South and Findlay Creek.

“My perspective is that we can say we don’t like all this and we don’t want these roads to be developed, but the fact is the congestion will just be worse in a year if we don’t do it because the development is a fact, it’s there,” said Hutchinson, president of the Riverside Park Community and Recreation Association. “With so many people in Riverside South, we need that Air-

port Parkway corridor to be better utilized.”

The city has begun its environmental assessment study of the widening of the Airport Parkway, between Brookfield Road and the Ottawa MacdonaldCartier International Airport, as well as the widening of Lester Road, between the parkway at the airport and Bank Street, south of Blossom Park.

The project will cost an estimated $84.3 million, spread out over three phases of construction: • Before 2019: Airport Parkway from Brookfield Road to Hunt Club: $31.4 M • 2020-2025: Lester Road from Airport to Bank Street: $16.7 M • 2026 to 2031: Airport Parkway from Hunt Club to Airport/Uplands: $36.2 M Once the environmental assessment is completed the project will seek funding approval before it goes to tender.

The first of three open houses during the environmental assessment study is scheduled for Jan. 27, from 6 to 8:30 p.m., at the Jim Durrell Recreation Centre’s Ellwood Hall, located at 1265 Walkley Rd. A presentation will begin at 7 p.m.

Residents in Riverside Park and other communities north of Hunt Club

Road are now experiencing the fallout from the city’s cancellation of plans in 2006 to construct a north-south lightrail transit system, Hutchinson said.

“I really think twinning the parkway and the O-Train improvements, extensions are fundamental to balancing the traffic patterns north and south,” said Hutchinson. “We can’t have Riverside Drive taking as much of a load as it is.

It’s just not capable of doing that.”

The parkway twinning is also key to improving safety for motorists and residents.

Hutchinson said he has witnessed drivers whip by his vehicle in the right lane of the parkway south of Brookfield Road as they try to cut ahead of motorists in the left lane before the parkway narrows to one southbound lane.

“So I think (the twinning) is unavoidable given the situation we’re in,” he said.

River Ward Coun. Riley Brockington agrees traffic volumes justify widening the parkway.

Traffic along Hunt Club Road is “an absolute mess,” he said. “The Hunt Club bridge (between Prince of Wales and Riverside drives) is a diCity of Ottawa saster as far as the gridlock.

Fast track construction of O-Train extension: Brockington veloped will go before city council for approval.

Comments on the project can be submitted to Colin Simpson, the city’s senior project manager of transportation and planning, by emailing colin. simpson@ottawa.ca, or calling 613580-2424, ext. 27881.

Continued from page 3

“The cars are backed up – I’ve been told on some days it can hit into Riverside Park.”

Residents have told the councillor that drivers are speeding along their side streets to bypass 200 metres of traffic on Riverside Drive.

Brockington said given the “massive gridlock” it is imperative to expedite the construction of the OTrain extension southbound as soon as possible, though it likely can’t be sooner than four years.

“But ... the optics of widening the parkway before we expand the OTrain, to me, don’t make sense,” he said. “You should exhaust your public transportation options first and then as a last resort build more streets or widen the streets.

The widening project is “definitely a priority” for Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish, whose ward includes Findlay Creek and Riverside South. He also sits on the city’s transportation committee.

Findlay Creek area residents as well as some living in Riverside South would be better served with the widening of the parkway, which, for the most part, has two opposing

lanes of traffic, he said.

Lester Road is also two lanes.

“Once you get to that Brookfield exit (on the parkway) is when you see the backing up (of traffic),” Qaqish said. “I think it’ll definitely help.”

Findlay Creek would also see benefits from the phased widening of Bank Street, which is also included in the city’s most recent Transportation Master Plan.

“So I think a lot of it is the continued development of our infrastructure – (making) sure that we’re catching up with the development and growth that we see in Findlay Creek, Riverside South, Barrhaven,” said Qaqish.

Though these projects are included in the master plan, council should still push hard for improvements to the parkway and Bank Street, “and anything we can do to move them up is something that I’m going to be looking into,” he said.

Brad Nixon, a spokesman for the Findlay Creek Community Association, said the Airport Parkway project would ease traffic congestion in his community.

“Absolutely, I think this will be a positive for Findlay Creek and improve traffic flow,” he said.

At the city’s first open house in the widening study, there will be an

overview of progress already made during the study. Information will be shared on existing conditions, alternative solutions and the rationale behind the widening.

Over the course of the study, the team will determine how best to accommodate and manage increasing transportation needs in consideration of nearby residential growth and the development of airport lands, the city said on its website.

The city also said that over the course of the study, alternative designs will be developed, assessed and evaluated.

Ottawa police robbery investigators are hoping someone can help them identify two suspects following the early morning armed robbery of a gas station in the 3200-block of Conroy Rd. at Johnston Road on Dec. 14.

Ottawa robbery investigators are turning to the public for help in tracking down two suspects wanted in connection with an armed robbery of a gas station on Conroy Road on Dec. 14.

High-quality video surveillance equipment caught two male suspects on tape as they entered a 24-hour gas station in the 3200-block of Conroy Rd., near Johnston Road around 4:40 a.m.

One image taken from the footage shows the clerk with his hands raised in the air as one of the suspects brandishes a sawed-off shotgun in his direction.

“When we see a weapon, we don’t often see a sawed-off shotgun,” said Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, who is in charge of the police robbery unit. “More often than not we’ll

see a handgun and more often than not it’s an imitation.”

In a media advisory released Jan. 7, police also said a second suspect kept watch near the door to the store.

The incident was over within minutes after the pair allegedly made off with an undisclosed amount of cash.

There were no injuries.

The amount of cash taken was “inconsequential,” said Haarbosch, declining as per usual police custom to reveal the specific dollar amount for investigative reasons.

“I always kind of talk about risk-reward in these kinds of things, and that goes for the retail and the banks,” he said. “What they’re getting away with, it’s never worth it, but I mean it’s so minimal, you have to question the logic behind it.”

Ottawa South News - Thursday, January 15, 2015

The suspects were last seen running westbound on Johnston Road, according to police.

One suspect is described as a black male in his 20s with very dark skin, a thin build and is approximately five-foot-10. He was wearing a black winter jacket, jeans, black gloves, a black toque, and red, black and white running shoes.

The second suspect is described by police as a black male with lighter skin, a thin build, who is also in his 20s. He was wearing a dark toque, a black sweater with a blue hood pulled up over his head, beige pants and white running shoes.

Anyone with information on the case is asked to call the Ottawa police robbery unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5116, or submit an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers by calling 613-233-8477.

ROBBERY SOLVENCIES UP

Overall, robberies in Ottawa were down 22 per cent in 2014 compared to 2013, largely due to a drop in street-level or personal robberies and swarmings.

There were 200 swarmings in 2014, down from 255 the year before.

There were 87 street-level or personal robberies in 2014 compared to 174 in 2013. Haarbosch points to the implementation of a cellphone blacklist in the fall of 2013, which is deterring thieves from stealing people’s cellphones, previously a common occurrence in Ottawa.

When a cellphone is lost or stolen, the owner can ask their cellphone provider to add the phone’s serial number to a database shared by all cellphone companies. When someone tries to reactive the phone, the provider is to deny the request if the phone’s serial number is on the blacklist, Haarbosch said.

“I think we’re seeing the impact of that now,” he said.

Investigators are also making headway on solving robberies.

Seventy-six per cent of retail and business robberies were solved by police in 2014, up from about 60 per cent in 2013. There were 96 retail robberies in 2014, down from 102 in 2013.

Almost 77 per cent of bank robberies were solved last year when there were 30 banks robbed. In 2013, 70 per cent of bank robberies were solved. There were 26 that year. Police investigative techniques and the improved quality of video surveillance technology have contributed to the upswing in solvency rates, Haarbosch said.

He also credits community police officers for being diligent in following up on a case.

“When we have a retail robbery, they pay a visit to the retailer and have a discussion with them and review their crime-prevention strategies and see if there’s anything that can be improved upon.”

In addition, police are benefiting from changes made to the robbery unit in late 2008, when its mandate changed.

As a result, the unit was expanded around the same time from six officers and a sergeant to 10 investigators and two sergeants, who work on two teams.

“Essentially, the change was pre2009 (when) the robbery unit only investigated basically personal robberies and swarmings, like the streetlevel robberies,” Haarbosch said.

Prior to that, investigations into retail and bank robberies were led by major crime investigators, who have since been focussing on homicide cases.

For that reason, sometimes robbery cases would take a back seat to a major investigation, such as a homicide, said Haarbosch.

The change has given the robbery unit a distinct advantage by allowing investigators to make quicker links between files that previously may not have been identified, he said.

OPINION EDITORIAL

Good start, but more needed

I

t was long overdue.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Make sure we’re memorializing the right thing

T

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Freedom, it’s called. Wouldn’t that be worth a memorial?

OPINION

Nurturing the teen brain

A

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse lenges.

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

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

Frances Jensen, Harvard neuroscientist and mother of two teenage boys, advocates for heavy parental involvement in the teen years, acting

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

as your child’s frontal lobes “until their own brains are ready to take over the job,” she tells Maclean’s. It’s one of the reasons she has a lock on her liquor cabinet, notes journalist Tamsin McMahon.

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

“That’s why you’re a parent.

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

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

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

“Brain cells grown in childhood that continue to get used in adolescence form new connections, while those that go unused wither away,” writes McMahon in Maclean’s. She cites research from American and British academics showing that adolescents can either see growth or a significant drop in IQ. Those who experience the latter are more susceptible to psychoses, such as schizophrenia.

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

Do teens need more freedom or more rules?

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

To the editor:

In order to offer the elementary alternative program to a greater number of students, the Ottawa Carleton District School Board approved the program’s expansion effective September 2015.

Once limited to students living within the Greenbelt, the boundary expansion will allow students living in suburban and rural areas full access to the elementary alternative program in the public board.

The Riverview Alternative School boundaries now extend as far as the Ottawa River to the north, to the Rideau Canal/ River to the west, to Cumberland in the east and as far as Metcalfe in the south.

For those of you wondering if Riverview Alternative might be right for your child, the elementary alternative program has its foundation in student-centred learning which includes strong community support and parent involvement. As a Riverview parent, I can attest to the fact that our school provides an exceptional and caring junior kindergarten to Grade 6 experience that promotes parental involvement to support student engagement and learning.

The following characteristics are found in many of the programs across the elementary level and collectively they provide for the basis of the

seven tenets of the alternative program.

These include: cooperation and teamwork; innovative approaches to teaching and learning; balanced studentdirected and teacher-directed learning; multi-aged groupings of students; integrated curriculum with inter-relation of all learning and subjects; family and community centred school environment; and an ongoing student led assessment and evaluation.

The structure of the elementary alternative program ensures that each student can complete the core curriculum requirements of the board and the Ontario Ministry of Education. For more information about the program visit ocdsb. ca or for information about the school please call 613 7336898.

Parents interested in Riverview’s kindergarten program are welcome to book an appointment to visit kindergarten rooms, meet the staff and ask questions about our program. Parents of school aged children interested in learning more about our school are also invited to call the number listed above.

Riverview Alternative also boasts a tremendous third-party before and after school care provider. Andrew Fleck Child Care Services has been offering care at Riverview since 1998. It is licensed for 20 kin-

dergarten children 3.8 to five years of age and 45 school age children six to 12 years of age.

With the implementation of full day kindergarten at Riverview Alternative School, they are now providing the extended day component to the full day. Their hours of operation for both the kindergarten and school age programs are 7:30 to 9 a.m. and 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. and full day care on all school holidays; and from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. during the summer break.

Their programs offer a child-focused curriculum where staff and children work together to expand and develop a wide range of skills and competence based on the emergent curriculum philosophy. An emergent curriculum is one that builds upon the interests of the children and complements Riverview’s alternative program.

It is often spontaneous and responsive to their immediate interests; topics are driven by the ideas and questions from the children themselves.

Victim of Ottawa’s first 2015 shooting in critical condition

Alex Robinsom alex.robinson@metroland.com

While the victim of Ottawa’s first shooting in 2015 was fighting for his life Monday, Mayor Jim Watson was set to meet with the police chief and police services board chair to talk about the recent rash of gang violence that has plagued the city.

The man was shot on Riga Private in the city’s west end on Jan. 10 at around 4 p.m., police said.

Authorities responded to multiple calls reporting gun

shots and found the man collapsed in the street. Witnesses saw a dark-coloured vehicle speeding away from the scene of the shooting, police said.

Police confirmed the shooting was gang related and that the guns and gangs unit is investigating.

Police originally said the man was being treated for non-life-threatening injuries, but have since said his condition has worsened.

The shooting was Ottawa’s first of the year after a record 49 shootings in 2014, pushing the city’s leaders into action.

Watson was due to meet with police Chief Charles Bordeleau and police services board chair Eli El-Chantiry to discuss the problem Monday, Jan. 12.

Bordeleau penned an open letter to the city a few days

before the first shooting of 2015, saying while police are committed to fighting the problem, long term solutions rest with the community.

“Those longer-term solutions include continued and increased police focus but also increased focus from community agencies who can assist in steering people away from, or out of, the gang lifestyle,” he said in the letter.

“We are responding to these incidents with an increased enforcement strategy that will hold offenders accountable.”

Bordeleau said the number of investigators working in the guns and gangs unit has been doubled. He added that more than 50 guns were seized by the police in 2014 and 83 gang members were arrested during that time.

As couples cut a rug on the dance floor during a special sold-out evening of dining and dancing later this month, the Roaring ’20s-themed soiree will mark a victory for military families in more ways than one.

The second-annual Victory Ball at the Fairmont Château Laurier on Jan. 31, during which business leaders and past and present military officials will come together for a fourcourse dinner, live music and a silent auction, will allow the Military Family Resource Centre of the National Capital Region to expand youth mental health programs and supports and activities for the military family community.

The inaugural Victory Ball in 2014 drew 280 people and netted more than $43,000 thanks to ticket sales and sponsor support.

“It’s mind-blowing for the inaugural ball raising more than $40,000 for the community, and it all went to the community,” said Catherine Villeneuve, spokeswoman for the region’s Military Family Resource Centre. “So yes, it is a victory.”

Organizers are anticipating similar results this year for the MFRC,

Guests enjoy an evening of dining and dancing during the inaugural Victory Ball in 2014 at the Fairmont Château Laurier. The Military Family Resource Centre of the National Capital Region is once again preparing for its second-annual Victory Ball on Jan. 31, which will generate funds for youth mental-health programming. which supports 11,000 military members, 8,000 spouses and 9,000 dependents in the Ottawa region and as far south as Cornwall and north to Arnprior as well as the Outaouais region of Quebec.

Partial proceeds from last year’s event helped the MFRC expand its

family, separation and support services.

In addition to having access to a family liaison officer who works with ill and injured members and the families of fallen soldiers, the team was expanded last summer to include a full-time social worker and an out-

reach social worker was upgraded from part to full time.

A new social work manager was expected to start in December.

“The need was definitely there,” Villeneuve said of the noticeable upswing in the needs of military families, particularly in the wake of Canada’s combat mission in Afghanistan.

“And now we see all the trickledown effect on families and young children born in the early 2000s (when the Afghanistan conflict began),” she said. “And now they’re teenagers and they have to cope with that. So we’re seeing a lot of that as well.”

More military youth are also using mental-health services today.

The Canadian military estimates that military youth experience six to nine moves between kindergarten and high school.

The centre’s trained staff specializes in challenges specific to military families as they deal with separations and reunions.

And help can be sought for any length of separation. In the past, the military member had to be away for at least 30 days before separation support and counselling could be accessed by families.

That rule was relaxed over the past year “now that we have the manpower to accommodate that,” Villeneuve said. “As soon as there’s separation, they have access to our services.”

Outreach programming at the centre has also been boosted with the hiring last summer and fall of two new personnel to provide support and services, such as playgroups, in outlying areas, such as Orléans, Cumberland, Kanata and Stittsville.

“Every Canadian family faces challenges,” Villeneuve said. “The military family – the challenges are different, they’re unique and so that’s why we need to tailor our services.”

Funds raised through the 2014 Victory Ball also helped the centre open three emergency housing units on the former Uplands base for military members and their families.

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

Resource centre now offers full-time daycare Continued from page 12

“It’s really so that the families don’t have to worry,” Villeneuve said.

NEW DAYCARE CENTRE

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

to provide a full-time daycare five days a week.

Following a lengthy licensing and renovation process, the Playtime Platoon Childcare Centre opened on Nov. 21 with a preschool program for children ages two and a half to five.

There are 20 spots, four of which are blocked off for military families in need of emergency childcare for the day.

A toddler program, for ages 18 to

30 months, will launch in February.

“It is designed for (Canadian Armed Forces) families, and that’s why we have the 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. schedule,” Villeneuve said, adding the new service provides options for military families.

It’s common for both spouses in a family to be military members, which can be challenging.

“When both parents are called out (for a deployment), what do you do

The needs of families of deployed personnel who may not live close to the MFRC and its new daycare are also a priority – they can be reimbursed $50 per month for child-care expenses.

“It’s about being responsive to the needs of the military community,” she said. “The support needed is ever-growing.”

Fire department spokesman embraces Twitter Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

At first, Capt. Marc Messier couldn’t believe what he was hearing over the emergency services radio after a car had fallen into a sinkhole on the highway 174 off-ramp at Jean d’Arc Boulevard in Ottawa. “And I couldn’t believe that something could be as serious as they were saying it was, so I had to go take a look for myself,� said Messier, a 25-year veteran of Ottawa Fire Services, who has been the department’s public information officer since 2010. “And there was the car – gone, in that huge sinkhole,� said Messier, who snapped a photo at the scene of the September 2012 incident and posted it on Twitter, an online social media networking service on which registered users can post 140-character messages, photos, website links and short video clips for free. “And that picture went viral quickly,� he said, adding that several media agencies saw the

photo and jumped on the story.

Though initially skeptical of Twitter before he opened his personal account in January 2011, he has since been using it to proactively send out information and educational messages for the media and the public.

He has amassed more than 11,600 followers and posted more than 11,300 messages and photos.

He can remember sending out his first tweets about a fire, and, as a result, he saw a drop in the number of reporters calling him for details as the incident unfolded. “One of the biggest problems that I have when there’s major incidents is my phone rings off the hook,� he said.

Messier doesn’t just tweet information, he engages people, answers their questions and ensures the information he sends out is relevant and timely for users, said Mark Blevis, digital public affairs strategist and president of Ottawa-based Full Duplex. “Mark has been very effective at building relationships

between the Ottawa fire department and the community and it shows in the number of followers he has, not because followers are a great measure, but because people are engaged in what he has to say,� Blevis told a small crowd that gathered to hear Messier speak during the first of five talks in a series on social media at Pressed Urban Gourmet Sandwich Bar in Centretown on Jan. 7. “Because he’s an individual rather than a corporation and speaking on behalf of a corporation, it’s very easy to feel like you’re speaking with or hearing from somebody you might just pass in the hallway and know,� said Blevis, a Glebe resident. “And so the information he shares is very easy to process.�

He is organizing the TOUCHTalks series of lectures to resonate with the themes in a book he co-authored with Vancouver resident and digital strategist Tod Maffin, entitled, TOUCH: Five Factors to Growing and Leading a Human Organization, which was

Messier, who is quoted in the book, has tweeted hundreds of safety tips, promoted the department’s units and posted details about crash scenes and road closures. He has provided live updates during fires,

Public information officer switching to fire prevention role for new challenge Continued from page 14

“I think it’s been a great tool for us. I think it’s brought us closer to the community. The community has reached out to us as well to ask us to share information with them,” said Messier, whose last day as the fire department’s lone public information officer is Jan. 16. The Orléans resident will start work as an Ottawa fire prevention officer on Jan 19.

“It’s time for a change of pace,” said Messier, who will continue to tweet from his personal account, but with a focus on fire prevention rather than live updates on emergencies. The role of public information officer is tentatively expected to be filled by the end of February or the beginning of March.

Using Twitter has not been without its challenges, as Messier has learned.

There was backlash after a photo was posted of Ottawa firefighters working to

rescue more than a dozen people from a malfunctioning elevator at the Rideau Centre. The image shows some firefighters sitting on a bench, others leaning against the wall and still more standing at the scene.

In reality, Messier said, other firefighters at the centre were trying to pry open the elevator door, fix the system down in the hydraulic room and another was at the top of a ladder speaking to those trapped to keep them calm.

“People will not ask questions. People will pass judgement ... and they’ll start to criticize before they even ask a question as to what’s really going on,” he said.

Messier said he is also mindful of protecting people’s privacy when he posts messages and photos, and he strives for accuracy, which can be challenging in a rapidly evolving emergency.

Still, Messier said his use of the online tool has paid off. He has even shared his

own learning experiences with followers.

During the recent cold snap, he tweeted, “Got home this evening to find my back door frozen shut. Have you checked your emergency exits? #2WaysOut #FireEscapePlan.” The number signs, known as hashtags on Twitter, refer to searchable key words.

His message was favourited by five Twitter users and retweeted 13 times.

“We tend to rely on teachable moments,” he said.

Upcoming lectures in the TOUCHTalk series on Feb. 4, March 4, April 1 and May 6 will feature different speakers who have an engaging way of connecting with the public on social media. Visit twitter. com/touchacademy for details.

Energy East Consultations in the Capital R0013089552

I know that many Ottawa South residents have concerns about the proposed Energy East Pipeline project. First and foremost, they’re concerned about what it could mean for public safety, and the potential environmental impact on the community they live in. I share those concerns and believe that public safety is paramount.

For that reason, I am pleased that the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) public consultations on this project will soon come to our region. At the discussions participants will first have the opportunity to view project information and speak directly with the OEB and its technical advisors. This will be immediately followed by a presentation and discussion, and conclude with an open house.

Also, on January 29 and 30, the OEB will be hosting a stakeholder forum in Ottawa. The purpose of this forum is to give members of the Stakeholder Group the opportunity to make brief presentations that address the province-wide impacts of the Energy East Pipeline project. The forum will be open to public attendance.

Please contact me at my community office with any matter that is important to you. nd I will always do My staff and our best too help you.

CHEO Foundation president Kevin Keohane welcomes Lisa Wilton and her family into their new dream home in Manotick on Jan. 7 after it was announced the West Carleton family had won the hospital lottery’s grand prize.

“Oh my god.”

“This is incredible.”

“Look, look, look!”

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

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

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

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

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

“And then the truck died, and then another car died, and then money

problems from all that,” said Wilton, who added they’ve been trying to sell their Woodlawn home since June.

“Obviously 2015 is trying to show off.”

The 5,200-square-foot CHEO dream home is located just south of the village of Manotick, in Minto’s new Mahogany development. It’s a far cry from the cramped 1,200square-foot home three of the four family members live in now.

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

Emerson finds good use for leather leggings

F

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

It had come that winter’s day, after we got the call from the CPR station that it had arrived, and they’d be mighty pleased if Father would come in and get it out of the way.

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

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

On the top was the usual array of odds and ends.

Halfway down into the box, Everett pulled out two odd looking objects that very much resembled long spats.

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories I was very familiar with this fashionable bit of men’s clothing, because Grandfather wore grey felt ones over his shoes, which I thought was just about the classiest bit of men’s wear I had ever seen.

Certainly, not one of the farmers in the Northcote area wore spats. But what Everett hauled out of the wood box wasn’t made of felt. And they were much too long to be spats. They were made of soft, rich brown leather.

Everett turned them over in his hand a couple times, and suggested they looked like they might be put on a horse in the cold weather.

Mother got out of her chair and snatched them away from Everett. “Those are genuine leather leggings,” she said with awe in her voice. “And I used to see them on young lads in New York all the time.

Must admit, I have never seen them out here, though.”

She turned them over and over in her hand. She held them out at arm’s length across the room, but in front of each brother. “What a shame, I doubt they will fit any one of you.” And she went on to tell us how only the very wealthy in New York wore leather leggings.

Emerson, ever willing to be classed as just a cut above average, suggested they would be just fine to wear to the Northcote School. Mother looked at the brother who at 12 stood just under six feet tall, and whose muscular legs were as round as a stovepipe.

She assured him they would never go around. “See, they are supposed to button up the sides. You use a button hook to close them.”

She had left her chair and gone over to Emerson to hold the leggings up to his outer calf. “They’ll miss closing by a good four inches. Too bad. Such beautiful leather.”

And she set them aside, no doubt already wondering how she could make them over, or who of the less fortunate cousins would fit into them.

For the time being, they would be packed away.

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

Father had already gone to the barns. And there Emerson sat in Father’s chair by the stove, with his feet up on the oven door, and the leather leggings covering his shins from knee almost to his an-

kle. His breaks fitted tightly at the top, and his short gum rubbers somehow looked awfully out of place on his leather covered legs. Mother of course, hurried over to the stove to see how he had made them fit. Audrey and I were right behind her.

Well, that Emerson was

a clever one alright. He had taken the laces out of Father’s work boots, and with a wide gap between the eyes and the hooks of the leggings, he had laced them up. Bare leg showed where the leather should have met, but it didn’t look like that mattered to Emerson. Now, one would

Roasted squash, quinoa salad is a tasty and healthy dish Quinoa is not only nutritious, but also great for a make-ahead meal. Its taste and texture make it perfect for lunch the next day as there’s nothing to go soggy. Preparation time: 15 minutes. Roasting time: 30 minutes. Serves eight.

Ingredients

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

Dressing:

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

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

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

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

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

Emerson was bundled up like someone from the North Pole Continued from page 21

And so off he went to the Northcote School, in the dead of winter with the leather leggings. He was sure everyone would be very impressed.

Eighteen pairs of eyes scanned him up and down, and he almost looked like he was giving a history lesson.

Emerson said what the leggings were for, and how the very well off people in New York wore them all the time.

He made no apology for the fact they didn’t meet even half way around his leg.

Well, everything came to

a head at recess when Miss Crosby ordered us all out of the school. It was a bitterly cold day, and by recess, the wind had worked up to a frenzy, and there stood Emerson bundled up like someone from the North Pole, but his legs as bare as a badger where the leggings didn’t meet. It wasn’t long before he was shaking from head to toe. Fortunately, Miss Crosby let him back into the school before the bell.

As luck would have it, Father had to go to Briscoe’s General Store that afternoon, and he came around by the school and we all climbed

onto the sleigh for the ride home. Emerson was saved from walking home in the snow with almost-bare legs.

When we got home and Emerson took off the leggings, and the marks up his legs from the tight laces looked like railroad ties. Nothing was wasted in those Depression days, and Mother wrapped them in tissue paper, put them in the upstairs trunk, and announced she was sure she could find a use for them some day. Emerson was going to have to think of some other way to impress the kids at the Northcote School.

West Carleton residents shocked to win $1.7M prize Continued from page 20

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

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

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

CHEO Foundation president Kevin Keohane said the whole point of the lottery is to change lives: those of the winning ticket holders, but also those of the patients at the hospital.

The fact that Wilton already does that as part of her day job makes her prize all the more poignant, Keohane said.

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

way.”

The lottery campaign brought in record profits this year, earning just over $3 million for the hospital.

The tickets sold out for the first time since 2011, although Keohane said it’s always close to a sell-out.

He speculates that ditching the spring lottery this year to focus only on the fall likely helped push ticket sales over the top, along with the second-annual 50/50 draw which this year raised more than $500,000 in profits.

Ottawa resident Kosta Pezoulas won that draw, taking home more than $520,000.

The lottery’s second prize went to Carol and Charles Nagy, who took home $100,000 cash, a 2015 Hyundai Genesis, a seven-day Eastern or Western Caribbean Cruise for two and a $10,000 gift certificate for Jubilee Fine Jewelers.

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

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

As a result of a number of residents who have contacted me to discuss various safety-related matters regarding the pathways leading to and from the new pedestrian bridge spanning the Airport Parkway, I convened a meeting with reps from all relevant City departments, as well as Councillor Diane Deans whose ward includes the South Keys transit station, to discuss ways to resolve the issues.

As a result of the discussion, City staff have agreed to lead two safety audits of the site, one this winter, and another in the spring, whereby members of the public are encouraged to attend to identify any safety-related concerns that need to be addressed. If you would like to participate in the walkabout, please contact me. The date is currently being finalized.

The O-Train Trillium Line (current operating line) expansion project is nearing completion. The expansion project will increase the capacity and frequency of train service through the expanded line.

As part of the final switch-over, it will be necessary to shutdown the O-Train Trillium Line service and provide customers with replacement bus service on route 107.

This temporary shutdown is scheduled from February 1420.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, expanded service for the O-Train Trillium Line is expected to begin in late February or early March. Service will run approximately every nine minutes and every fifteen minutes late in the evening and on Sundays.

Testosterone levels begin to diminish in men around age 30. In fact, by the time men are 60 years old, they typically produce 60% less testosterone than they did at age 20 (a man’s sexual peak). Many men over the age of 35 may already be feeling the effects of lower testosterone including:

Unfortunately at the same time testosterone is decreasing, estrogen levels are increasing, causing further muscle loss and gain in body fat, making it extremely difficult to maintain a healthy metabolism.

Province cash boosts non-profit social programs Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

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

Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi announced the programming grants on Jan. 8 during a visit to the Jewish Youth Library of Ottawa. That library, located on Switzer Avenue, will receive $10,000

Holiday

to provide a senior’s networking and education workshop series.

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

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

“More and more seniors are active, and they want more engagement within the commu-

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

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

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

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

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

“The soul never ages – it only becomes more vibrant,” said Caytak. “To shunt the elderly aside is not only cruel, he added, but foolish. The faster our world changes, the more we need the experience and wisdom of our elderly friends and relatives.”

Caytak said the lectures,

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

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

Meet Mia (ID# A166457), an affectionate kitty with sleek black fur seeking her happily ever after. Mia enjoys playing with soft toys and to would love to watch the world go by from a window in your living room. This beautiful girl wants you all to herself so she’d prefer to be the only kitty in your life. Mia is an extremely loving cat but prefers to come to you when she needs attention — she loves to rub her face against you, the wall, the chair, or anything that will sit still for her! She uses her scratching posts like a pro so she’d like to have one in her new forever home.

For more information on Mia and all our adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd. Check out our website at ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

Iordanis Louizos, mayor of Marathon, Greece, left, watches as Eleftherios Anghelopoulos, the Greek ambassador to Canada, centre, and race director of Athens Classic Marathon Evangelos Papapostolou, light the ceremonial torch to mark the start of the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend torch relay from Marathon to Ottawa City Hall on May 23. Ottawa is looking for a torchbearer to represent the city in a different torch relay; the one which will open the Toronto-hosted Pan American Games.

City seeks torch bearer for Pan American Games

CBC Ra dio's Laugh Out Lo ud

r rampe Faire C

Local community leader, celebrity or role model to be chosen brier.dodge@metroland.com

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

The torch will be lit in a ceremony in Teotithuacan, Mexico, and make its way to Canada on May 30. The relay will then feature 3,000 torchbearers in a 41-day journey, and end up in Toronto on July 10 for the Pan Am Games opening ceremony.

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

“I don’t think I have the last say, but definitely my opinion will matter,” Mitic said, adding the final selection will likely be a group decision. “I’m looking for someone who is an example to the rest of us, and who is known as the kind of person who we will be proud to see

(carry the torch).”

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

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

“We want to celebrate a hometown hero with the honour of carrying the Pam Am flame in Ottawa,” said Mayor Jim Watson in the release.

“The torch relay is an opportunity to showcase our great city on the international stage, while recognizing a local person who has made a significant contribution to our community.”

The deadline to submit a nomination to the city is Jan. 18. Applications can be submitted online at www.ottawa.ca. Mitic said anyone who needs help to submit an application can contact his office at 613-580-2472.

Traffic staff is proposing speed limit changes on Shoreline Drive between Spratt Road and Rainforest Drive with limits being changed from 40km/h to 50 km/h. There are two options that staff has provided us with in how to proceed with this change: removal of Shoreline signage and limit changed to 50km/h; or if citizens do not agree with this change for them to present a petition indicating that they favor a reduction of speed to 40km/h for all of Shoreline Drive. This information has also been circulated to the Riverside South Community Association for input. Should you wish to provide comments, please contact my office.
