Initiative aims to make the Bay more sustainable Jessica Cunha

Jessica Cunha/Metroland

Wish list Six-year-old Ellie Johnston, right, and sister Leiah, 4, get in good with Santa Claus before Christmas at the Carp Cooperative Nursery School event and Christmas bazaar at the Huntley Parish hall on Dec. 6.

The West Carleton Christmas events continue this weekend with the Santa parade in Carp Saturday, the Brunch with Santa in Kinburn Sunday and a bazaar, seniors party, kids craft afternoon and dance showcase in Constance Bay.

News - Residents in Constance Bay are being asked for their priorities on making their community more sustainable.

The Bay was chosen as one of three areas in the city to participate in the Sustain Your Community initiative, which focuses on energy and water savings, transportation, and local food programs.

“The success of the project, which is about sustainability, is based on the energy – pardon the pun – of the community,” said Michael Murr, executive director of EnviroCentre, a nonprofit organization that is leading the program.

About 10 people attended the first information session on Dec. 3 at Constance and Buckhams Bay Community Centre.

The interactive workshop had residents list the issues surrounding energy and water conservation, local food access and sustainable transportation; programs that are already in place; and ideas for making them more sustainable.

The next steps for the project are to create a sustainable Constance Bay

action committee, prioritize the initiatives, create a work plan, and apply for funding. There is $20,000 available – to be split between the three areas chosen to participate in the first year, and six communities in the second year.

“The community needs to identify what is needed,” said Murr.

WORKSHOP

Residents spent time at each of the three stations, identifying issues and suggesting remedies.

Some of the issues identified under the water and energy conservation initiative included: • Many of the houses are former cottages and improperly insulated.

• Many are heated using electric baseboards.

• Expensive hydro bills.

• It’s cost-prohibitive to upgrade to more energy-efficient heating systems.

• Septic issues, more sustainable septic systems are expensive to install.

• Wells and the water supply can make people unaware of how much water they use.

Eight newcomers sworn into office Ceremony marks start of city’s ‘most productive and exciting’ term: Mayor Jim Watson Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

The new city council was sworn in for what will be the most “historic, productive, decisive and exciting” years in the city’s history, Mayor Jim Watson said during the Dec. 1 inaugural ceremony.

Watson took the declaration of office, which was administered by justice of the peace Louise Logue, followed by eight new and 15 returning councillors, during a ceremony held at Centrepointe Theatre.

Whoops and cheers went up from the crowd as each councillor’s name was called.

Cheers were particularly loud for the new Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish, who was celebrating his 29th birthday during the swearing-in; for Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney, the first openly queer woman elected to Ottawa council; and for returning Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tier-

ney, whose friends and family held up signs spelling out his name.

Clad in the chain of office and a ceremonial crimson robe with fur trim, Watson gave his second inaugural address as mayor of the amalgamated city. This term, Watson said, will be defined by light-rail transit. Construction of the first phase of the LRT line will be completed by 2018 – the end of this term of council – and will be the single largest infrastructure project in the city since the Rideau Canal was built.

“We know that this opportunity is a result of the hard work of those who have come before us,” he told a crowd of several hundred friends, loved ones and campaign workers who gathered in the theatre to celebrate. “Today, we are emboldened by the strong mandate we have been provided to forge our city’s transportation future.”

Watson said the next phase of LRT, which would see the

FABULOUS WEDDIN RECEPTIONS Laura Mueller/Metroland

Justice Louise Logue swears in Coun. Eli El-Chantiry during the Dec. 1 inaugural ceremony as Mayor Jim Watson smiles at his former deputy mayor.

O-Train system expanded east, south and west with 35 kilometres of new light rail, will be approached with the same “balance and pragmatism” that has served the city well during the planning and construction of the first stage.

Light rail is just one of the projects aimed at making Ottawa a bolder, innovative and more dynamic capital, Watson said in his speech. A redevelopment and expansion of Arts Court, the construction of the Bayview Innovation Centre and perhaps even a new central library will solidify the capital’s reputation as a place to “learn and create,” the mayor said.

Watson said he wants those qualities to be on full display in 2017, when all eyes will be on Ottawa as Canada celebrates its 150th anniversary.

The event calendar for those celebrations is already filling up and Watson said he hopes to add the Grey Cup, the JUNO Awards and an NHL Outdoor Game to the list.

Watson quoted former Ottawa-Carleton MP and National Capital Commission chairwoman Jean Pigott, who said the capital should be considered every Canadian’s second hometown. Ottawa needs to be as welcoming to tourists as it is for its own population, the mayor said. The capital

needs to present itself as a “dynamic, innovative and proud” city.

“Over the next four years, we’ll show them just who we are,” Watson said. “In doing so, we will change the way the world sees our city.”

The evening also included musical presentations from OrKIDstra, the Mezzanine String Quartet and the Canterbury High School Chamber Chorus. The national anthem was performed by Angelique Francis.

Tim Hortons again sponsored the refreshments for the reception following the ceremony, saving the city $15,000, Watson said.

No more city rural committee meetings in West Carleton Regular ARAC meetings to be held in a central location, not outlying areas Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

“We’re creating our own problem (because) they are so frustrated that they drove so far, they are already on edge,” he said.

The change was made as part of a city governance review that looked at the committee structure and how decisions are made.

But the review did not specify where or when the ARAC meetings are to take place in the future – something that was intentionally left open-ended to ensure the committee’s future chairperson has the flexibility to choose the best option or make a change if the selected location isn’t working, said West-Carleton March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry.

The committee’s former chairman, Doug Thompson, retired from his role as Osgoode councillor at the end of the council term last week.

There is a general consensus among the five rural councillors that Ben Franklin Place is the best location for the meetings because it is geographically central and it offers free parking. El-Chantiry said he’d like to see the meetings continue to be held in the evening.

News - The travelling roadshow for the city’s agriculture and rural affairs committee is over.

City council has voted to end a practice that dates back to amalgamation in 2001, which saw the committee hold some of its meetings in rural communities around the city in order to encourage rural residents to participate in civic affairs without having to travel downtown.

But the meetings have become an unexpected barrier for some residents, rural councillors say, and they hope finding a new, central location for them outside downtown might make it easier for residents from all reaches of the city to attend.

The problem, said Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt, was that it was impossible to match up the issues the committee would be considering on a certain date with Public Meetings the meeting location to which they All public meetings will be held at Ottawa City Hall, 110 Laurier pertain.

Monday, December 15 That challenge resulted in resiOttawa Police services board dents from West Carleton having 5 p.m., Champlain Room to attend meetings in Rideau-Goulbourn and other areas of the city to talk about an issue important to their area – the city’s application of provincial water-quality guidelines, called D-55, for instance.

“If you look at the last meeting ... it was in Bearbrook, but there were no items related to that area,” Moffatt said. “That’s half the battle. (Residents) get there and they are angry that we made them drive Ad # 2013-12-6057-25350-S R0013044667-1211 all that way.

IF IT’S A

IT’S A

CRISIS

The West Carleton-March councillor suggested it might be worthwhile to look at holding other committee meetings in the evening, too, to increase access for the public to participate.

That change would not only save the city money on facility and audio-visual equipment rentals, it would also mean audio from ARAC meetings could be broadcast live on ottawa. ca, which is done for the rest of the committees.

It also wouldn’t prevent the committee chairperson from holding special meetings on topics of intense local interest in the location

they pertain to, El-Chantiry said.

During the Dec. 2 city council meeting, Moffatt was successful in his bid to get the issue of development charges added to the committee’s mandate.

There is also a minor change to issues arising from the “open mike” sessions, which allow residents to come speak for five minutes on any topic. Any action resulting from issues brought up in that portion of the meeting must be a notice of motion from a committee member to be discussed at a future meeting.

Board seeks formal boundary revision for local MFI students Students would receive option to remain at Earl in Grade 9 or transfer to West Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - The Ottawa public school board is recommending a formal boundary revision for West Carleton students seeking middle French immersion instruction.

The amendment would formalize the arrangement with W. Erskine Johnston Elementary School in north Kanata to continue to enrol local grades 4 to 6 students in MFI classes.

Currently, grades 7 and 8 students transfer to MFI instruction at Earl of March Secondary School, followed by another move to West Carleton Secondary School in Grade 9.

The proposed boundary revision would also offer local middle school students a one-time option to continue their studies at Earl in Grade 9, or transfer to West Carleton Secondary School “so they don’t have as much transition,�

said school board planner Megan Faraday. “There has been some discussion about whether having this transition in year two of a grade 7-12 school is in the best interest of students,� said the board. “Conversely, there may be a desire on the part of secondary school students to join their former classmates closer to home at what would have been their regular secondary school.�

Calls to the board’s key contact, Chief Financial Officer Michael Carson, were unreturned.

MFI ENROLMENT DECLINING

A middle French immersion program was first introduced at Stonecrest Elementary School in 1999 for the entire West Carleton area.

Enrolment in the program was strong initially, but has been steadily declining since 2007. According to the board, there are only one or two local students per year seeking MFI instruction. “Due to this low level of interest, grade 4 MFI students (one or two per year) choosing the program in the past five years have been directed to the nearest MFI program site. This site is currently W. Erskine Johnston Public

West Carleton students who attend Earl of March Secondary School for grades 7 and 8 MFI instruction will have a one-time option to transfer to West Carleton Secondary School under a new boundary revision the public board is seeking.

School,� said the board in its recommendation.

The boundary revision would “formalize this existing arrangement and provide parents with certainty regarding program location in the future.�

The school board held four public information sessions in the city in October and November; the closest one for West Carleton families was held in Kanata at A.Y. Jackson Secondary School on Nov. 10. Only 28 people attended the meetings, said the board, and it received no

input from the public regarding the West Carleton boundary revision proposal.

The board also put forward six other proposed boundary changes throughout the city.

The recommendation report was scheduled to be discussed at the board’s committee of the whole meeting on Dec. 9 (past press deadline), with a final decision to come on Dec. 16.

IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT Notice of Intention to Designate The City of Ottawa, on November 26, 2014, established its intention to designate the Magee House, 78 Lisgar Street, under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value.

Description of property The Magee House is a large two-and-a-half-storey red brick structure built in 1895 and located at the north end of the Centretown neighbourhood.

Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or interest The Magee House’s cultural heritage value lies in its being an excellent example of the Queen Anne Revival style popular at the end of the 19th century and frequently used for the houses of the wealthy. It was designed

by Toronto architect Matthew Sheard and, typical of the Queen Anne Revival, features an irregular plan with a cross gable roof, projecting bays, and a rich profusion of wooden details including carved bracketed bargeboards, shingles in the gable end, and a dentilled cornice. The building also features a rich assortment of window types, a two storey gabled bay with decorative bargeboard, and two chimneys with brick details that are repeated in the string courses. It is one of a pair of Queen Anne Revival houses on Lisgar Street (66 and 78) owned by members of the Magee family.

The Magee House’s cultural heritage value also lies in its association with Charles Magee, a prominent Ottawa businessman. Magee was born in Ottawa in 1840 and started his career in the dry goods business. In 1871 he became the sole trustee of the Sparks Estate, and eventually became a large landholder, selling his lots as the city developed. He founded the Bank of Ottawa and served as a city councillor and as a member of many boards. Magee moved to this house after creating a lot from a previous house directly to the south and building a new house on it, adjacent to his daughter’s house next door at 66 Lisgar Street.

The Magee House also has cultural heritage value as HMCS Bytown, the Naval OfďŹ cers’ Mess since 1943 when it was purchased from Frederick Magee, Charles’ son.

Objections Any person wishing to object to this designation may do so by letter, outlining the reasons for the objection and any other relevant information. This letter must be received by the Clerk of the City of Ottawa either by registered mail or personally, delivered within 30 days of the publication of this notice. When a notice of objection has been received, the Council of the City of Ottawa will refer the matter to the Conservation Review Board for a Hearing and a Report.

Don’t rush the ribbon cutting

T

he city saw two rushed openings of new projects on the last weekend of November.

Why the need to cut ribbons on a new recreation complex or a bridge in late November instead of a week or two later? Clearly the answer is that the outgoing councillors want to claim they saw the project through to completion.

The urge to get a name on a plaque has overwhelmed the common sense both Steve Desroches and Maria McRae generally exhibited during their years as councillors for Gloucester-South Nepean and Rivers wards respectively.

It is farcical to “open” things that aren’t really finished. Cutting a ribbon and then calling the construction crews back in the next day is silliness.

Perhaps part of the problem is the sense of attachment politicians often feel associated with infrastructure projects they have championed, sometimes over the entire course of their elected term in office.

But politicians should also allow a healthy dose of common sense to take hold, and trust that their

efforts on behalf of whatever project will be recognized when they are unveiled to the public.

The Minto Recreation Centre in Barrhaven isn’t really open. Sure, the doors are unlocked but the building is not finished. Only one of two ice surfaces is operating and you can’t take a dip in the pool, which may not be open until January.

If part of a building is usable, it makes sense to open the doors and let residents use what’s available. It does not make sense to make proclamations about a completed project.

Further east, the pedestrian crossing above the busy Airport Parkway is available for people to use, but landscaping continues, including some heavy equipment that doesn’t mesh quite so well with people on foot.

A new rec centre in Barrhaven is a good idea.

The pedestrian bridge over the parkway is a good idea.

And if they are finished after a councillor leaves office, it’s still a valued piece of infrastructure. But save the ribbons.

Catholic trustees silence inexcusable

A

ll of a sudden school boards have become media punching bags – deservedly so, in a lot of ways.

There has been no end of scandal and dispute surrounding Toronto’s school board in recent years. Now Ottawa has entered the spotlight, with an argument over the unavailability of Catholic board trustees to speak to the media on a controversial issue.

Now, there is nothing new about public officials ducking the media — or being ordered to do so. There have been complaints for years that federal public servants, especially scientists, are being muzzled by the government.

That’s not good, but at least these are not elected officials. The people we elect are supposed to be accountable

trustees are not talking to the media, they are not talking to the people.

Simply put, it is appalling that the people are being denied the ability to hear the voices of those they elect.

Understandably, the recent scuffles, both here and elsewhere, have led to suggestions that local school boards should be abolished. It is pointed out that boards already exercise considerably less power than they used to: decisions about funding new schools are made at the provincial level; so are decisions about teachers’ salaries, class size and other important matters.

Many of the most crucial decisions school boards have to make are intensely local. Which neighbourhood school is going to have the enrichment program? Which school is going to be a French immersion centre? What students are going to be allowed to cross boundaries to take advantage of special programs? And what about school closures, the decisions that most dramatically affect children, parents and neighbourhoods?

It is difficult, to say the least, to imagine those decisions being made anywhere else but locally.

To have such decisions made properly – not that they always are – they have to be made locally. They have to be made with consideration for local impact. They have to be made by people we elect, who know they are accountable to us.

And, as part of that bargain, the people we elect have to be prepared EDITORIAL: Managing Editor: Theresa Fritz, 613-221-6261 theresa.fritz@metroland.com News Editor: John Carter, 613-623-6571 x28 john.carter@metroland.com

MPP missing an opportunity

To the Editor: A response to the ‘Walk a Mile in Her Shoes; campaign (West Carleton Review, Dec. 4).

Does ‘light-hearted’ have any place with violence? Does cross-dressing footwear, which strips male officers of their masculine gait, also strip them of their male dignity, and undermine their authority in the public eye?

Will an abused woman feel offended, trivialized, and mocked when her “protectors” use a “light-hearted” stunt to highlight her dangerous plight? Will men tottering about in women’s shoes change hearts and actions of male abusers?

Some say, what toppled the Roman empire was overspending, using citizen’s money on fun and entertainment spectacles, which humiliated and abused citizens.

To prevent abuse, adults train up their own children in the morally responsible way they should go, which includes respecting and protecting the dignity of every human being, including women beaten by men and men who carry guns to protect their citizenry.

Is it possible for youth to be confused about that message when authority figures participate in undignified spectacles?

I’m hopeful that walking a mile in high-heeled shoes has not been added to the job requirement of our male authority figures and role models. I truly hope and pray that ‘To Serve and Protect’ will not include ‘To Totter and Wobble’ and that more tax dollars will not be wasted on custom-sized women’s shoes for male police officers.

All involved could reconsider spending any more funds, from citizens, on a frivolous campaign.

Male officers should proudly keep their male dignity intact and they can do the most good by being exemplary male role models to all the citizens they serve.

To the Editor: The latest announcement by our MPP Jack Maclaren that he won’t be endorsing any candidate in the PC leadership race is a perfect example of why it is virtually impossible to figure out the moves of MacLaren.

In the municipal election he endorsed our neighbour in Kanata Marianne Wilkinson, but here at home he virtually ran a campaign to defeat our long term councillor Eli El-Chantiry.

The people in Almonte need his help with respect to the dam project there, but MacLaren is nowhere to be found as he is down in New Brunswick, or Goderich, Ontario lecturing on the ridiculous notion of crown land patents, and advising people how they can avoid amalgamation.

It’s interesting that he was wildly unsuccessful out here, in his bid to break away from the city, but somehow he has now figured out a way to do it. Except he hasn’t and his crown land patent scheme, that seeks to supercede all laws, has been rejected by every credible legal expert.

Let’s not forget that he also used the precious privilege private members bill to try and get the Niagara Escarpment turned into a free-for-all, by removing environmental protection so that a landowner friend could get approval for an illegal archery range.

I suspect that the serious contenders in the PC race are breathing a collective sigh of relief that MacLaren is not supporting them, as there is absolutely no upside in having MacLaren on your side.

When people stop taking you seriously, and openly mock you for your stance on climate change and crown land patents, among other things, then your credibility goes out the window.

Once you have lost the credibility of your constituents, you become isolated and ineffectual, and cease to matter. In effect people stop taking your phone calls, and refuse to meet with you.

An editorial in this paper suggested that MacLaren had an opportunity and time to turn things around.

While I agree he has the time, I would suggest that a phrase used to describe a much bigger situation far from here aptly describes our MPP, in that he never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

Let’s really make it a season of giving Opinion - We’re rounding the final turn and heading down the home stretch to Christmas.

I make a list and try to cover the items the girls need, the things they silently wish for and the special gifts that just come across my path and say “buy me”. I tally the amounts to make sure I haven’t given more to one daughter than the other. Christmas can be expensive, but it always feels so good to give.

But here’s the thing. Christmas this year – and every year – is a time where I am reminded that just as our homes overflow with blessings, other people may be feeling a void, a pain, or a loss in theirs.

Christmas 2007 was an emotional time. Dad was sick and had been told he had about six months left with us. I remember what it felt like, walking in a fog, going through the holiday motions, following traditions and celebrating the customs.

It was my first Christmas as The Farmer’s Wife, but it was a fragile season. Dad was dying. Nothing was the same that year. And it never was again.

Now, when the busy season takes over our lives and we have two social gatherings every weekend, we see relatives we don’t see all year, and there are 25 people in every room, I try to take the time to slow down, talk to them, and make some real connections.

Christmas can be stressful, but losing Dad reminded me how important it is to make every moment last.

This year, as I get ready to celebrate with my family, I think of my friend who just lost her Mom to cancer. Another friend who just found out he needs a bone marrow transplant. A young girl who lost her Mom to cancer will now be both a big sister and a mother figure to her little brother. A woman who is unhappy and struggling in her marriage.

And then there is the young man I see every time I work the morning shift, sleeping at the local Tim Hortons. In the summer he pulled his hoodie up over his head and propped himself up against the garbage bin outside.

Now it is minus 10, so the young man who works the overnight shift lets the homeless boy inside. He puts his weary head down on the table and sleeps.

It’s all I can do to restrain myself from scooping him up

DIANA FISHER

and bringing him to the radio station to sleep on our couch. Because I know that wouldn’t be sensible. But where else Accidental can he go?

Farmwife This week, your local North Grenville radio station, 97.5 Juice FM, is doing a radiothon for The Salvation Army. The Sally Ann is the force behind the scenes when people need them most.

Call and give if you can. You will receive a tax receipt for your charitable donation, and a big thank you from the team.

If you can’t afford to donate, you can still give of your time. Offer up a few hours ringing the bell at one of the Christmas kettles, or call them up to see if they need help sorting toys and food for Christmas hampers. It’s a busy season and The Salvation Army works hard to make sure no one is missed.

But there is even more we can do. This Christmas, I challenge you, friend of Farmwife, to reach out and do something for someone who really needs some help. Maybe a cancer patient needs a ride to a treatment in Ottawa because they won’t feel like driving themselves. Or a young mom really needs a break from her kids so she can get some shopping or house cleaning done. You can offer to watch them for her.

If we each took the time to do one small thing for someone else this Christmas – someone outside our regular circle of friends and family – someone who may not have anyone to do things for them – it would spread a great big wave of Christmas love all over the place like a fresh blanket of snow.

Which reminds me – when the snow comes, and we know it will, teach your teenagers and pre-teenagers to shovel the walkway for the seniors living next door. For free. Because that’s just what we are supposed to do.

They will have to put their iPhones down for a minute to get the job done, wear some sensible winter clothing and breathe some fresh, cold air. It will do them a world of good, and it will do the world some good.

Merry Christmas.

To the Editor: I’m curious as to the future use/plans for the railway line once the rails are removed.

There have been a number of bike paths installed on old railway lines. Flat and elevated trails make them ideal.

Could this be applied here?

A trail from Kanata across the bridge near Morris Island and possibly linking to the trail on the Quebec side would be a great tourist attraction.

More governance changes under consideration for council Continued from page 5

Other changes under consideration in the governance review include reducing the number of scheduled meetings for three bodies: the transit commission, the environment committee, and the community and protective services committee.

Councillors, in particular Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans, questioned a move to reduce the number of scheduled meetings for those groups from between nine and 15 to eight annually.

Deans, who led the transit commission in the last term and previously chaired community and protective services, was successful in asking city council to refer the meeting-reduction proposal to the first meeting of each of those committees in order to receive comments from the public.

GIFT CHANGE

During the Dec. 2. city council meeting, councillors also voted to adjust the value for gifts they have to publically disclose. The gift registry benchmark was set at $30 for gifts from one source during a calendar year since the registry’s creation two years ago, but it was proposed to rise to $150 after the governance review.

Life. Live it fully every day!

Laura Mueller/Metroland

Mayor Jim Watson is sworn in Dec. 1.

Newly minted Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun.

Tobi Nussbaum was uncomfortable with the change and suggested raising the limit by less, to a $100 total annually and city council agreed.

The limit is still $30 for tickets to events.

City councillors will no longer be able to put their names on things like speed signs if the items are purchased with their office budgets.

City council also decided to have committee chairs and vice-chairs appointed for the entire four-term term of council, with a mid-term review after two years.

Missing dog reported shot

S S E N I S BU LD SO

News – A family pet reported grabbed from a Carp property by a person in a Dodge pickup has been found shot to death.

A Crimestoppers posting on Nov. 26 asked for help in finding Angus, a 14-month-old German short haired pointer mix dog. He was reported taken from a home in the 1000 block of Spruce Ridge Road about 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 8.

However, the Ottawa and Valley Lost Pet Network shared a link last week saying that “Sadly Angus, the loved dog, has since been found shot in the head.

When he went missing, Angus was wearing a reflective vest with ‘Remington’ on it. The dog was chipped and wearing a shock collar.

A newer Dodge Ram four-door pickup truck was seen in the area minutes before the dog went missing.

If you have information on the identity of the suspect believed responsible for taking the dog,

News – Could there be a strike looming in the provincial civil service?

Members of one unit of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) have given a strong strike mandate to their bargainers to what the union claims is a response to the provincial government’s concession demands.

OPSEU president Warren Thomas, whose union represents the 35,000 Ontario government workers employed directly by the Ontario Public Service, maintains the demands would strip away various existing rights and drive down employee compensation. The proposals range from the employer paying less for benefit premiums to new lower wage rates for new hires and a 12-year progression to salary maximums.

“This concession-filled proposal is entirely unacceptable,” Thomas said in a news release Monday.

“This attack is designed to undermine public services and the lives of workers that already suffered years of wage freezes. In response, our bargaining teams decided to conduct a strike mandate vote. The result is now in and a strong vote in favour of strike action has been achieved.”

The total results for the central contract group were 90 per cent in favour of strike action. The corrections unit and unified unit gave 96 per cent and 88 per cent respectively for wages. “(Premier Kathleen) Wynne wants to lower costs so services would be easier to outsource and privatize,” Thomas said.

Thomas went on to say that the union contract is the only barrier to saving public sector jobs, which will save Ontario’s public services.

Local opposition to Energy East pipeline mounting and little acknowledgement of the valve system, sensors, pumping stations and monitoring process. Many scoffed at the notion Energy East is a “nation-building project,” a contention of Alberta Premier Jim Prentice.

Stephen Janes is an environmental engineer who has worked on many similar projects in Canada.

A relative of McNab-Braeside Coun. Heather Lang, Janes travelled from London to give a presentation. He said it is important to study the details and approval process. He is also convinced the already contentious issue will grow.

“I personally think we are going to see this on the next (federal) election, it’s that big,” Janes said. He encouraged opponents to voice their concerns to the national and Ontario energy boards.

“There is an awful lot of power in your hands.”

The Ontario Energy Board will hold hearings in Stittsville and Ottawa at a yet-tobe determined date in early 2015.

STEPHEN JANES they’ve studied Energy East extensively, and are vehemently opposed to the conversion.

Sitting next to them was MaryGwyn Brown and her friend, both skeptics of the fledgling group and its arguments against the proposal.

Brown isn’t a climate change believer to start: climate has always changed; it’s narcissistic to think we can have that much impact over the world’s ecosystems; species and civilizations come and go, she says. And there’s nothing wrong with businesses making money.

But it is the group’s willingness to charge ahead with fighting against Energy East without first holding a robust debate that turned her off.

“I just came to see what these people were here for; to see how open-minded they are,” Brown said after the meeting.

“I don’t think they are as open-minded as they need to be.”

There was no mention that Energy East will provide tax revenue to municipalities,

Joanne Mitchell and Robert Johnston will see 1.1 million barrel of crude oil pass through a pipeline within 1,000 feet of their home if Energy East is allowed to proceed.

They joined a group of about 25 for a meeting in Arnprior to plan ways to stop the proposed pipeline conversion project. will step back after the first meeting.

The local elected officials did say they would welcome delegations to speak during upcoming council meetings.

A formal presentation gives

councils the impetus to join with surrounding municipalities and the county, possibly with a message to the government of Ontario and provincial and national associations of municipalities.

MAYORS IN OPPOSITION

At one point talk turned to the macro issues of Energy East equating to seven million more cars in use – accelerating climate change. Someone mentioned obligations to children and grandchildren.

Another brought up the risk to beluga whales in the Saint Lawrence River.

Even Arnprior Mayor David Reid agreed pipelines should be stopped and oil sands production reduced in the name of minimizing Canada’s carbon footprint. (Town-

News – They don’t know what aspect to address, or their messaging; they haven’t even come up with a name yet.

But a group has formed in Arnprior to oppose the proposed Energy East pipeline.

About 25 people gathered at the public library on Dec. 3, including a number of elected town and township representatives and an environmental engineer. The meeting was to discuss TransCanada’s plan to convert a natural gas pipeline to oil and run it from the Alberta Tar Sands – under the Madawaska River and other Valley rivers – on to Quebec and New Brunswick.

Hosted by newly-elected McNab-Braeside Coun. Mark MacKenzie, the local threat was made plain by various commentators: • A 40-year-old pipe designed for gas is expected to ship 1.1 million barrels a day of heavy sand and bitumen under tremendous pressure; • TransCanada spills have doubled over the last decade, from one in 1,000 km of pipeline per year to two; • Between 1 and 2 per cent would leak before stop measures kick in, meaning at least 10,000 barrels; • About 80 to 90 per cent of the oil will be sold internationally, hence Energy East will not contribute to energy independence; • Natural gas prices will jump by 52 per cent to pay for new gaslines, which is why gas providers like Enbridge oppose the deal; • Few full-time jobs will be created, and temporary installation workers move with the pipeline, so locals won’t benefit.

“I don’t see the win-win,” said Robert Johnston, whose house is within 1,000 feet of the pipeline. “They do not deny there will be spills. They give the statistics on their website. It’s all built into the business model.”

Johnston and his wife Joanne Mitchell own a farm on Waba Creek. They don’t fit the big city environmentalist stereotype. But it is evident

ship Mayor Tom Peckett, also at the meeting, indicated he wants Energy East stopped.)

However, the group didn’t formulate a marketing or messaging plan, instead concentrating on either the local risk or overall danger of climate change.

Judging by the focus of the meeting, Energy East’s threat to local drinking water will be the core. One person said bottled water will cost more than oil. Another suggested filling water bottles with oil as part of a campaign.

The local tourism sector and a spike in natural gas prices were reiterated.

Petitions, letter-writing campaigns, perhaps even a play are actions under consideration. The group acknowledged TransCanada has deep pockets for TV ads, and is suspected of planning a dirty tricks campaign to discredit opponents.

Mayors and councillors said they are at the meeting to gauge public sentiment, not play an active role in the group. MacKenzie said he

When is a hawk not a hawk?

Michael Runtz Nature’s Way

Lifestyle - Over my many years of birdwatching, I’ve seen many instances of misidentification.

That is understandable because many species look very much alike, and lighting can make colours and patterns difficult to discern.

But even birds that seem more than distinctive sometimes confuse their observers.

The Ruffed Grouse is one such bird, and this year I have encountered no fewer than nine misidentifications involving that species.

Most of you are likely acquainted with Ruffed Grouse. These chickens-of-the woods startle us when they unexpectedly explode into the air during an outing in the woods.

High up in leafless poplars, their plump forms create dark silhouettes against the glow of late winter sunsets as they devour swelling buds. In spring, the males’ courtship drumrolls (wing generated!) thunder through woodland forests.

So what other bird could a Ruffed Grouse possibly be mistaken for? Well, one is its northern cousin, the Spruce Grouse. Female Spruce Grouse certainly bear similar colours and patterns. But those are birds of northern spruce peatlands and Jack Pine forests.

With its rugged elevations allowing the

However, in our area it is not with Spruce Grouse that people have been confusing Ruffed Grouse. This may come as no small surprise, but the number one source of confusion is a hawk!

So how can a chicken-like bird that walks slowly on the ground be confused with a speedy bird of prey? The answer is: “Rather easily;” this year seven different people did just that. In most cases the grouse was dead, killed by flying into a window or being struck by a car.

There are good reasons for the confusion.

One is a grouse’s overall size (large) and colour.

Up close, grouse are striking birds, their feathers various shades of brown adorned

ALL NEW SHOW WITH LIVE ORCHESTRA REVIVING 5,000 YEARS OF CHINESE CIVILIZATION

with flecks and streaks of black, silver, and cream, making their owner well camouflaged for sun-dappled forest floors. But this colour and pattern are also borne by many hawks, especially young ones.

Grouse heads are relatively small and their legs are long, features also shared with hawks.

However, the main reasons for confusion are a grouse’s beak and feet. The stout bill ends in a hooked tip for nipping tough buds.

A hawk’s bill is large and ends in a meathook tip for ripping flesh.

Grouse toes are long and strong, equipped with large claws for scratching the ground in search of food. Hawks possess large, muscular toes tipped with needle-sharp talons for catching live prey. Unquestionably there are similarities between grouse and hawks. But there are many differences, too, and of these is apparent right now.

On the side of each toe of a Ruffed Grouse are small rectangular projections. These are scales that start growing in late fall. They broaden the surface area of the toes, spreading out when a grouse walks.

In winter they function like little snowshoes, allowing their owner to walk and even run atop snow.

Now that is something that no hawk can do!

Almost 200 new properties added to flood hazard zone laura.mueller@metroland.com

sippi Valley Conservation Authority in the West Carleton ward office Dec. 4 also received input on flood risk.

Notification of floodplain and slope hazard map changes and open houses

is done through newspaper advertisements, notices to community groups and city councillors’ offices, on the RVCA’s website and social media, city staff said.

The conservation authority does not send individual notices directly to

the owners of properties whose regulatory status has changed.

More properties could be affected by new floodplain mapping in the coming years as the conservation authority undertakes similar studies for creeks throughout Ottawa.

R0013034811/1204

News - People who own property along the Ottawa River or Cardinal Creek might be surprised to discover potentially expensive new restrictions on their land.

The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority is updating its floodplain maps for those areas and has added 184 lots to the area regulated due to potential floods on unstable slopes along both the Ottawa River and the Cardinal Creek system, which had not been assessed for potential flood hazards previously.

Another 137 properties were removed from the regulated area along the Ottawa River from Shirley’s Bay to Cumberland after engineers and planners used updated topographical information to refine the hazard boundary lines. The changes mean neighbourhoods like Belltown in the west end, where people are very concerned about the floodplain, can have greater confidence in the data the conservation authority is using to draw those lines, said Ferdous Ahmed, the lead engineer.

The Ottawa River floodplain was originally mapped in 1984 and the availability of new technology such as Lidar created an opportunity to ensure the map is as accurate as possible, Ahmed said – and for the most part, the floodplain line is similar or the same as the limit identified 30 years ago.

Lidar is a remote sensing technology that uses lasers and reflections.

The information could also be used to refine proposed plans, including a longstanding and controversial effort to add a berm as a flood barrier in Britannia village.

But for those 184 newly regulated properties – which include private lots as well as city and National Capital Commission land – the additional regulations mean landowners would need an extra permit from the conservation authority before undertaking any construction or changes to their lots. That includes rebuilding a home or other structure, adding an addition or a swimming pool.

Property owners are on the hook for the cost of a geotechnical assessment from an engineer, said Jocelyn Chandler, a planner with the conservation authority.

“It does impose some new restrictions on the area,” Chandler said during a poorly attended open house to reveal the plans in Orléans on Dec. 2.

For the most part, the conservation authority tries to protect existing development, she said. The RVCA makes an effort to limit the scope and detail of the required assessment to fit the potential impact of any construction, Chandler said.

It’s unclear whether any properties newly included within the floodplain boundary have any safety risks, Chandler said.

The value of an Independent Insurance Broker

Following the July 2013 floods in Toronto, some homeowners were faced with severely inadequate coverage, contractors abandoning the job and no assistance from their insurer. It’s a cautionary tale about the pitfalls of chasing the lowest advertised premium.

Brokers provide value to their customers with good advice about the products and coverages they need, and support when they need it the most.

You need insurance on your home.

You know you need fire, you need theft and coverage for other damage and possibilities.

Surprise them with the gift of choice!

Worried about sizes, colours, or rushing to put everything together Christmas Eve? Not too handy with wrapping paper and bows? Worried you have forgotten someone on your list?

Let us make your gift giving easy this holiday season with City of Ottawa recreation and culture gift certificates, available in denominations of $5, $10, $20 and $50. Everyone loves a gift where they get to choose from hundreds of classes and fitness activities, and they don’t even think about taking it back!

Gift certificates can be used across the city at local community centres, as well as our big complexes where there is lots going on. Recreation and culture programs are for all ages and are available morning, noon and night, seven days a week! Your loved ones can work out in a gym, play in the volleyball league, skate or play hockey at an arena, or swim in a pool to while away the winter. The City has three wave pools for great fun when you’d rather be down south.

Adults age 50 and over can enjoy activities geared to their interests, both active and intellectual. Preschoolers can learn to make friends and share toys at one of many playgroups and preschool programs. Youth can hang out with friends in the gym or learn a life skill like leadership, babysitting, or cooking.

Good swimmers can take advanced courses that will prepare them toward employment as a lifeguard.

Moms and their tots can get out of the house, get fit, dance, or make music together. Dog owners can learn how to have well behaved pets and teach them a trick or two. Novice cross-country skiers can take lessons at Mooney’s Bay, and indoor cycling classes are a great way to get fit and make friends.

You can try a range of dance programs; drawing, painting and pottery classes; yoga, tai chi and Pilates; guitar, piano and singing. Gift certificates can be used at any time of the year and have no expiry date. But hurry, they won’t last long. Browse the Recreation eGuide at ottawa.ca/recreation and see the wide range of activities to choose from.

Tory leadership candidate drums up support

Whitby-Oshawa MPP Christine Elliott was in Kanata collecting party memberships and drumming up votes for the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party leadership race Dec. 1. From left, Myles Dear, Elliott and her son, Galen Flaherty, and CarletonMississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren. The meet-andgreet attracted Conservatives from across Ottawa and the Ottawa Valley.

News - Whitby-Oshawa MPP Christine Elliott made a campaign visit to Kanata on Dec. 1, drumming up support in her bid for the leadership of the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party.

About 50 people showed up for the meet-and-greet held at Sushi Kanata in the Kanata Centrum, attracting Conservatives from across Ottawa and the Ottawa Valley, including Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren and Ade Olumide, who is campaigning to replace CarletonMississippi Mills MP Gordon O’Connor.

MacLaren said he hasn’t declared his support for any leadership candidate but was “leaning towards Elliott.”

While none of the Ottawa-area MPPs have backed Elliott yet, the candidate said she had the support of eight caucus members.

Her campaign has also received a boost from the Doug Ford camp, after the Toronto politician declared he would not run in the leadership race and threw his support to Elliott.

“He got over 320,000 votes in the City of Toronto (during the recent municipal election),” noted Elliott.

Ford has promised to help mount a membership drive for Elliott, she said.

The leadership candidate said she chose Kanata as one of the stops in her provincewide campaign tour because she was making an effort to visit Ontario’s “overlooked communities.”

She said Ontario needs focus on innovation in building its economy.

“As much as we want to bring manufacturing (jobs) to Ontario, we need to look to the future as well,” she said, adding the provincial government needs to look for opportunities to invest in businesses clusters, such as the hightech sector in Kanata.

Elliott said she is touring the province to collect ideas and hear the opinions of Ontarians ahead of the spring leadership convention.

The leadership candidate said she hopes to revive the party’s fortunes, after it lost nine seats in the last provincial election.

“We lost touch with what really matters with people,” she said.

Elliott also spoke at the Delta Hotel in Ottawa during a poverty and enabling citizenship forum to discuss her plan to remove barriers and create a more inclusive environment for persons with disabilities and their families.

Three weeks ago I was at a retail store and tripped over the winter matting near the entrance. I fell and broke my wrist. Today an Insurance adjuster called me. He said I was responsible to look where I was walking, but offered $5000.00 to help me out as I have been off work. I am on sick leave and have not lost any income.

Is there any reason not to just take the money?

Plenty of Reasons. Leaving aside what happened, and what you might be entitled to recover as a result of your injuries, it is always a good idea to consult with a lawyer before taking a settlement proposed by an insurance company. Insurance adjusters work for Insurance companies and they do not approach a settlement based on what you are entitled to.

Instead, they offer money based on the risk of what you might receive by way of an award. Generally, they will try and settle a claim or potential claim for as little as they reasonable can in order to close off a risk.

A lawyer will work for you.

Many lawyers offer a free consultation. I find I ask a lot of questions and do a lot of listening during a consultation. I try to give my client an understanding of the legal issues arising

in his or her circumstance, and indicate what the options are going forward.

Assert your rights.

Over the years I have come to understand that people almost always benefit from at least consulting with a lawyer before trying to settle with an insurance company. There is a significant imbalance between a lone individual and a huge insurance company. A lawyer has the knowledge to help level the playing field.

In my experience, insurers will see a greater risk when dealing with an injured person who is represented by a lawyer.

Greater risk to insurers result in better settlements. .

West Carleton Review - Thursday, December 11, 2014 33

Grocery store calls for donations to feed food bank users News - Food bank use in Ontario has increased nearly 20 per cent since 2008 and Arnprior and West Carleton are no exceptions.

Many families struggle under the burden of substantial holiday costs at a time when children who rely on school nutrition programs are spending more time at home.

To help feed those in need, Loblaws stores, including NoFrills, are asking customers to donate two items to their local food bank at their outlets.

The retailer is also asking customers to share a picture of their donation with the hashtag #donate2items in an effort to get the entire province of Ontario involved.

“Donations from local stores and food drives are so critical at this time of year because they will help families during the holidays and ensure that food banks have enough food to share in the New Year,” said Food Banks Canada executive director Katharine Schmidt.

“If everyone in the province donated just two items at their local Loblaw banner store today, we would meet the average demand on food banks for December, January and most of February.”

Holiday Food Drive donation bins are located in store and cash donations are also accepted at checkoust. Ontarians are encouraged to provide the following most-needed items: • Pasta (canned or dry) and pasta sauces; • Canned meats and fish; • Meat alternatives (peanut butter, soy, assorted nuts); • Canned goods (beans, soups, and stews);

• Dairy (canned and powdered milk); • Canned vegetables and fruit; • Whole grain cereals; • Infant foods and baby formula; • Bathroom tissue and diapers; • Personal hygiene products.

All food donations go directly to local food banks and all cash donations are split between Ontario Association of Food Banks and local food banks.

Since 2008, Loblaw customers donated more than $8.5 million and 8.9 million pounds of food to food drives across Canada. This year Loblaw has plans to raise more than $1.8 million and 1.8 million pounds of food.

“As the largest grocery retailer, we believe we have a responsibility to help in the fight against hunger in Ontario,” said Loblaws senior director of community investment Peggy Hornell.

“We are always wowed by the generosity of customers and colleagues and this year we’re reminding them of the impact their contributions make. If everyone in Ontario donated just two items we could potentially meet the demand on food banks for months to come – that’s where # donate2items comes into play.”

Loblaws has been a close partner of Food Banks Canada since 2008 and was awarded Food Banks Canada’s Donor of the Year award in 2013 in part thanks to $1.5 million in grants since 2008 in support of the National Food Sharing System, a food acquisition program that ensures food is distributed to food banks across the country.

New Carp business for the dogs (and cats) Pawsh Pets offers supplies, grooming for furry friends Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - A new pet store opened in Carp on Dec. 6.

Pawsh Pets held its grand

opening and was kept hopping all day, as customers and their animals took the opportunity to check out the new storefront.

Owners Heather Beach and Shane Sinclair were thrilled with the community’s reception. “(It’s) overwhelming and exciting,” said Beach, who grew up in Carp. “It’s something I personally was think-

ing about for six years.”

Although an idea for years, Beach and Sinclair went from business proposal to grand opening in only 28 days.

As the couple would drive through the village, they continually noticed the storefront at 413 Donald B Munro Dr. was available for rent. Beach called the owner and inquired.

A business plan was drafted, and the two – along with

friends and family – readied the store for last weekend’s opening.

“It was available and we decided to jump in and go for it,” said Beach.

The preparations meant many sleepless nights and long days, but it was worth it, said Sinclair, originally from London, Ont. “It really came together,” he said. “I think it’s better than what we pictured.”

Beach is the captain of the Burnin’ Rubber competitive flyball team. The couple travels all over North America competing in tournaments and have three dogs and two cats of their own.

“We wanted to offer products we ourselves would use,” said Beach.

“We offer all the services and products anyone needs,”

Customers Rachel Klingbuile, Alison Weatherston and Rocky, and customers Callan and Brian Underwood with Jake, check out Heather Beach and Shane Sinclair’s new shop.

Aside from pet products, Pawsh Pets also offers a grooming service by their in-

ottawa

house groomer Kelly Delamorandiere.

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

Legacy Gift will generate $42.2 MILLION for CHEO over next 100 years Weldon Cochrane was an Ottawa chartered accountant and partner with the accounting firm of Coopers and Lybrand (now PriceWaterhouseCoopers) and was also the Treasurer on the CHEO Foundation Board. Mr. Cochrane had an appreciation for the importance of leaving a legacy and understood how to make an impact when he decided to made a gift in his Will to CHEO. He left the residual of his estate with instructions for it to be endowed; meaning that the capital would be preserved in perpetuity and the annual interest would be used to fund the important work at CHEO. When Mr. Cochrane died in 1985 the CHEO Foundation received $540,000

from his estate and established the Weldon Cochrane Endowment Fund as directed in his Will. Much has happened and changed at CHEO since his death and in that time his legacy gift has grown to $4.6 million.

As CHEO marks its 40th anniversary this year, we look back and honour not only those in our community who made our local children’s hospital a reality, but also donors like Mr. Cochrane who made children a priority. Why not honour what is most important to you during your lifetime The impact of Mr. Cochrane’s generous gift is probably beyond what by considering a gift in Will to CHEO.

Traditional British meal locally made, fresh for the holidays Tiffany Lepack

bite into it and are transformed back into to when they were a kid; one customer was brought to tears because it was like their mum made,” said Grant. “My pasties are really good, not to blow my own horn but I have customers from Cornwall who say it is the best pasty they have had since they left England.”

To the people who have never had a pasty before, he encourages them to try one.

“It’s a convenient meal and we use as much local ingredients as we can. My produce, as soon as it comes out of the ground I get it from Needham’s Market Garden, his stuff is amazing,” said Grant. “I’m not going to say it’s a health food, but it’s a comfort food without the guilt.”

tlepack@metroland.com

Community – When you walk in the kitchen of The Great British Pasty & Pie Co., the smell transports you to what one can only imagine is a small old-fashioned British home.

Once you bite into the handcrafted pasty, your taste buds explode with the delicate mixture of local produce and spices from the traditional recipe.

The man behind these meals is Arnprior area resident Matt Grant, who has lived in the area since the late 1980s after coming over from England with his family.

Grant sells the pasties via his website http://gbpastyandpie.ca with a pick-up at Arnprior Home Hardware Friday nights, and at the Ottawa Farmers’ Market, which is having a special Christmas Market this weekend, Dec. 13 and 14 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Aberdeen Pavilion at Lansdowne Park.

He says for him the thing about a pasty, a pie that is semi-circular in shape that can be eaten with your hands and has a filling baked inside,

TRADITIONAL FARE

Tiffany Lepack/METROLAND

Matt Grant from The Great British Pasty & Pie Co. holds up a steak and Guinness pasty fresh from the oven.

The business started almost a year ago when he was having a rough day and was thinking about the last time he was in England eating a pasty.

“I couldn’t find anything around, so I had to make them myself, so I made some and they turned out re-

is the feeling it evokes while eating it.

“You watch the customers, they

ally well,” explained Grant. “Then I had some friends who popped by, they said it was amazing and one thing lead to another and a business was formed from that.”

He learned his craft from his mother, Linda, who he calls a talented and amazing cook; he also now uses a number of her recipes in his pasties.

A pasty is not a new creation as there is documentation of pasties back to Medieval Ages and its claim to fame is from Cornwall miners The miners would put leftovers in the thick pastry (Grant now uses a thin pastry with less carbohydrates), with a crimped, rope-like edge and would heat them using shovels over candles or fire.

They would hold the rope because they were mining tin and arsenic was present and then just throw the rope part away.

“It was the original convenience food they could eat on the go,” said Grant.

Grant makes small batches of 24 pasties at a time, which ensures freshness and allows for more vigorous quality control, and then sells

them frozen.

“We fully cook them, then fast freeze them and put them in a high quality freezer bag so they will last in the freezer for six months, but they never do because everyone eats them way before that,” said Grant.

“So you just pop it in the oven for 20 minutes on the rack; you don’t put a pan under it and it doesn’t drip and mess up the oven. You don’t have any dishes at the end and then you just grab it and start eating it, it’s so convenient.”

Although he started out with eight flavours, he now has 14 on the menu including two special creations for the Christmas season. Some of his most popular flavours are steak and Guinness, Cornish and cheese and onion, but it depends on the day Grant notes.

The last day to order for pick-up from the website, cash only, in Arnprior is Monday, Dec. 15 with the delivery on Dec. 19.

After the Christmas Market he will be taking a bit of a holiday break but will be back selling at the Winter Market at Lansdowne on Jan. 11.

Master sommelier Geoffrey Skeggs leads a sold out crowd through a whiskey tasting at 9:50:25 AM the Diefenbunker last month. The museum has launched a campaign to raise $3,500 to help improve it’s youth space. The bunker relies on ticket sales and events - and donations from the community - to fund its programming.

Diefenbunker launches #GivingTuesday drive Goal of $3,500 to improve museum’s youth space Jessica Cunha

News - The Diefenbunker kicked off a fundraising drive on #GivingTuesday, Dec. 2, to help improve the youth programming space at the museum. #GivingTuesday is a social movement that asks people to donate to charities or volunteer their services following the com-

mercial sales of Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Canada’s Cold War Museum has a goal of $3,500 to spruce up the area where birthday parties and youth workshops are hosted.

“We’d like to inject a little bit of new energy into that space so we can give young people the greatest experience possible here,” said Megan Lafrenière, the museum’s curatorial and marketing manager.

“It’s an old facility and we work with what we’ve got. To customize things for learning environments takes some investment; we’re the only national museum in Ottawa that doesn’t get federal funding.”

The Diefenbunker relies heavily on ticket sales and events to fund its programs and pay for any upgrades or fixes. The concrete room where much of the youth programming takes place is “pretty bare bones,” said Lafrenière.

“We thought we’d really like to spruce things up. We’re looking to buy some more kid-friendly furnishings – work tables and chairs that are more appropriate for their size, better storage for the things we use for the programming … as well as some new materials,” she said.

“A lot of fun is had with costumes – we’re using old Canadian Forces-type uniforms and things, parts that we’ve put together,” said Lafrenière. “All that could use a little freshening up.”

Last year, the Diefenbunker hosted 175 birthdays and 90 campers for its hugely popular Spy Camp program, held in the summer and over March break. The bunker has also added a new conflict resolution program for older youth.

“Since 40 per cent of our visitors are under the age of 18, and were, therefore, not yet born during the period of the Cold War, we serve an important role in teaching present and future generations the lessons of that pivotal moment in world history.”

The museum’s #GivingTuesday campaign will run until Jan. 6 and donations can be made any day of the week. So far, $800 of the $3,500 goal has been raised. To donate to the Diefenbunker, or for more information, visit diefenbunker.causevox.com.

Swedish high tech firm chooses west end for first North American office company in a news release announcing its new centre.

Syntronic Research and Development Canada found its new home right in the heart of Kanata’s high-tech district at 555 Legget Dr. “It is an excellent location to cater to the many potential local and global customers around Ottawa,” says the company.

“It gives me great pleasure to welcome the Syntronic R&D Centre to Ottawa,” said Mayor Jim Watson at the company’s celebration event. “With a high concentration of technology companies, including many of the world’s

leaders in the field of communications, and a large pool of highly-skilled talent, Ottawa is the logical choice as a gateway to the North American market.

“This celebration is a credit to the hard work of Invest Ottawa and is the kind of success we anticipated when the organization was conceptualized.”

Since Syntronic opened the office in September, it has hired 30 employees and expect to hire another 30 in the near future. In five years, Syntronic expects to have 120 employees in Ottawa. Syntronic’s parent company cur-

rently has more than 400 employees.

To celebrate, Syntronic invited the Swedish Ambassador, Per Sjogren, Watson, MPP Jack MacLaren, and Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson to join the managing dector Hans Molin in cutting the ribbon.

“Ontario is delighted to welcome Syntronic to our province,” said Brad Duguid, Ontario’s Minister of Economic Development, Employment and Infrastructure. “We are home to an incredibly skilled and diverse workforce that will support Syntronic’s expansion into the North American market.”

Established in 1983 in Sweden, the company quickly grew to become one of Sweden’s leading design houses in the area of electronics, electro-mechanics and software design for various industries such as telecommunications, medical technology, automotive, defence and many others.

Syntronic says its strength lies in a clear focus on advanced electronics development and complete service offering from idea through the entire product life cycle.

News - Syntronic celebrated the opening of its first Research and Development Centre in North America at its Kanata office on Dec. 4.

Over the years, Syntronic has opened several offices throughout Europe, as well as offices in other regions such as China, Malaysia and Indonesia.

It has now entered the North American market in Ottawa, calling it the “perfect place to make their debut.”

Ottawa is home to a high concentration of high-tech, defence, med-tech and industrial companies as well as the sought after local talent, notes the

ABC’s of Christmas: advent, bells and carols Ladies chorus performs twice

Community - With the Christmas season upon us, there is much to look forward to.

This is a special time of year when people spend more time with family and friends – talking, sharing meals and making memories. Many look forward to traditions that happen only in December or early January.

For the folks at Trinity Presbyterian Church, this is also a special year. Their new church building, providing more than twice as much space as the previous church, opened in August located at 1817 Richardson Side Rd. Since opening, the new church

has been a bustling and busy place hosting an open house attended by more than 400 people, an anniversary celebration, dedication service, bazaar and bake sale, Presbytery conference, youth groups, and many other get-togethers.

Trinity is looking forward to establishing new traditions as well as continuing with Christmas time traditions established many years ago.

The annual Blue Christmas Service, a special time of remembrance and support for those who are grieving or feeling sad, will be held on Wednesday, Dec. 17, at 7:30 p.m.

On this Sunday, Dec. 14, at 10 a.m., the Hilltop Ringers will present Christmas carols in a fascinating display of bell ringing.

Christmas Eve services offer a 4 p.m. family service featuring a traditional children’s Christmas pageant and an 8 p.m. service of candles and carols that many people look forward to as an opportunity to sing the always popular Christmas songs.

The congregation of Trinity Church warmly welcomes visitors to come as you are and join in making new traditions.

For more information, call 613836-1429 or visit trinitykanata.ca.

Arts – The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus will present A Garland of Carols concerts this weekend in Kanata.

News - You might not get a living person on the other end of the line any faster, but callers to the City of Ottawa will soon be able to hear local musicians while they wait.

That’s the rationale behind #ottmusik, a new initiative launched Dec. 4 at Capital Rehearsal Studios in City Centre.

Under the new program, designed to give up-and-coming Ottawa artists exposure, musicians have until Jan. 12 to submit music samples to the city through its website. Residents will then choose their favourites via social media.

“The premise of #ottmusik is simple – the City of Ottawa wants local music to play on our telephone systems when we put callers on hold,” Bay Coun. Mark Taylor said at the launch.

Mayor Jim Watson, joined by studio employees and members of the Ottawa music scene, said the city does its best to move callers through the phone system in a timely

“We want to give local artists an opportunity to shine on our phone system,” said Watson. “We’re very much excited about the opportunity to have this competition, so that local musicians can submit their works. We will choose some amazing music that will

be launched next year.”

Watson said he hoped the idea would spread to other municipalities and service providers, adding that Ottawa has added to its arts and culture budget year over year.

“We recognize these are not costs, they are investments,” he said. “We know that if we want to attract more people to come here to locate a business, or as a tourist, we need a very vibrant local arts and culture and music scene.”

The process for artists to get their music considered is simple, said Taylor.

“Artists will have until the end of the day – Monday, Jan. 12 – to submit their music through the city’s website, ottawa.ca,” he said.

“You can submit music, instrumental or with lyrics, in the language of your choice …

Once the selected songs have been compiled, they’ll be cycled through the phone system quarterly, with new material every three months.”

Marguerite gives angelic performance for Northcote audience Lifestyle - The Northcote School was packed, and the smell of felt insoles, galoshes, and gum rubbers, propped against a log by the wood stove, filled the room.

It was the yearly Christmas concert. The desks had been stacked and moved to the front of the room, and planks brought in and either ends placed on chairs for seating.

What was left of the Christmas tree decorations made for a sorry sight. Miss Crosby had us make 18 popcorn balls the day before (that’s how many students there were), and they were strung on string with a large darning needle, and circled the limbs of the big tree propped in the corner.

Sadly, the mice had eaten every last popcorn ball during the night, and all that was left was the string, and the few ropes of red and green chain paper, also made by the pupils.

Underneath were the presents each pupil brought for the person whose name he had drawn the week before ... and, of course, we each had brought a present for Miss Crosby too.

The concert had been rehearsed daily for a month, and if we didn’t know our lines by the night of the concert it wasn’t the teacher’s fault! And every last one of us had a part if you wanted it or not.

Emerson and Cecil would have much preferred being part of the audience, but Miss

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

Crosby was having none of that.

As usual, bad Marguerite was an angel, and I was a sheep … again! Marguerite even had wings made by her mother ... gossamer affairs that somehow were attached to the long white dress she wore, and she flitted around the stage in her white stockinged feet and with her newly permed Shirley Temple curls bobbing on her head like sausages on springs.

My sister Audrey and the Briscoe twins opened the concert after Miss Crosby blew into a little whistle that gave them the proper note to start on. Their voices filled the school, and I could see Mother and Mrs. Briscoe wipe their eyes with the corner of their hankies.

Then there was the one-act play, and it seemed to me we acted out the same one every year. It was called “Who salted the soup?”

The only thing different was the cast, which

changed from Christmas concert to Christmas concert. Both Emerson and Cecil had parts in the play and I held my breath for its entire duration, but their performance went off without a hitch, much to everyone’s relief.

Then Audrey and the twins sang a few more carols, this time much better than their first effort, since they were now used to the dim light and with one performance under their belts.

All the time they were singing, Miss Smartypants was hopping around the stage with her wings flapping and her face cast to the ceiling, trying her best to look like an angel. I thought she looked like a white chicken scanning the stage for a place to light!

But I couldn’t say a word, or move from my place, where, as a sheep, I was to keep my eyes on the manger and the doll borrowed from my friend Joyce Frances’ large collection.

Miss Crosby had given us explicit instructions not to move off the stage when the concert ended. We were to stay in our positions, and she would say a few words to the audience, thank everyone for coming, and as happened every year, as if by magic, as soon as she finished, the school door flew open, and in rushed Santa Claus.

Only then could we leave the stage and go to sit on the two front planks.

Well, that’s when all hell broke loose. Miss Perfect, bound to be the first off the stage, as

soon as Santa roared into the school with his ‘Ho, Ho’ Ho’s, Marguerite made a dive to lead the parade from the make-shift stage, which was just a platform borrowed from the United Church. Her foot caught on the tail of her dress, and she slid off the stage like a ship being launched from a dock.

Her wings were under her, and hadn’t Miss Crosby made a grab for her, she would have slid right into the front row of planks.

Santa Claus never missed a beat, ignored the heap on the floor, and headed right for the tree, ready to hand out the presents.

It was a pretty quiet Marguerite we saw for the rest of the night. My brother Emerson, on the way home in the flat-bottomed sleigh after the evening was over, said he’d bet his last dollar that she wouldn’t be the angel in the next Christmas concert.

I thought if she didn’t grow too much, maybe Miss Crosby could put her in the crib, and she could be baby Jesus. That way she would have to stay perfectly still for the entire evening, and not move a muscle.

Somehow, I couldn’t picture her in the role.

Scott Woods’ Christmas Tradition show a big hit with area residents Liz Wall Seniors at Home

Community - Arnprior-Braeside-McNab Seniors at Home (ABMSH) played host to the Scott Woods band on Nov. 30 to a captivated crowd at St. John Chrysostom Parish Hall in Arnprior.

Renowned Canadian champion fiddler Scott Woods and his band advertised that the concert would be a special ‘Christmas Tradition’ and they didn’t disappoint. The audience, made up of folks who travelled to Arnprior from as far away as Deep River, thoroughly enjoyed the two-hour masterful performance that featured old-time fiddle music, sensational step-dancing, seasonal songs, inspirational stories, trick fiddling, family humour and more.

The audience was treated to the warm, rich vocals of Gary and Nadine Boles along with 14-year-old singer, fiddler and step-dancing

sweetheart Amanda MacInnis. Also featured were the drumming talents of Ron Dymond, the highly respected guitar playing of Bruce Timmins (former member of the John Allen Cameron Show and East Coast Music Award winner), and, of course, ‘The Flippin Fiddler’ Scott Woods.

It’s a nickname Woods earned because of his now famous trick fiddling routine where he turns somersaults and walks on a ball all while playing his fiddle.

Thank you to Woods, the multiple Canadian Open and Canadian Grand Master Fiddle champion, and his band members for entertaining while in support of ABMSH. Also thank you to staff and volunteers of ABMSH for assisting in the success of the event, including Patti Farr, Mike Farr, Lisa Bottomley, Nancy Peck, Riley Harrington, Denise Belanger, Nancy Paquette, Donna Dowd, Garry Dowd and Liz Nadon.

Thank you those members of the Knights

FRIENDSHIP DAYS GROW

“Thank you to everyone for their tremendous support of our Friendship Days,” says ABMSH executive director Dennis Harrington, noting the November Friendship Days was sold out with 150 guests attending.

“Such participation and enthusiasm is wonderful to see,” he concludes.

With growth comes change and it is noted effective in January the admission cost will be going up by $1 from $6 to $7.

The cost of admission includes lunch, birthday cake, live entertainment and plenty of oldfashioned hospitality and fun. Also, there is always a chance to one of several door prizes and the regular 50/50 draw.

IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT

IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT Notice of Intention to Designate

Notice of Intention to Designate

The City of Ottawa on November 26, 2014 established its intention to designate the Hartin Hotel, 1993 Robertson Road under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value.

Description of Property

The City of Ottawa, on November 26, 2014, established its intention to designate the Snowdon House, 66 Lisgar Street, under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value.

Description of Property

The Hartin Hotel, 3817 Richmond Road, is a two-storey limestone building, built circa 1871 and located at the junction of Old Richmond Road and Robertson Road in Bell’s Corners.

Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest

The Snowdon House is a two-and-a-half-storey red brick structure built in 1891 and located at the north end of the Centretown neighbourhood.

Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest

The Hartin Hotel’s cultural heritage value lies in it physical value as a good example of rural, classically-inspired hotel. Features of the building that make it a good example of its type include the symmetrical facade with side gable roof and dressed limestone construction with decorative stone quoins and voussoirs.

The Hartin Hotel has historical value for its association with the devastating Carleton County Fire of August 1870. It was built by David Hartin on the site of his father-in-law’s tavern that had been destroyed by the fire.

Hartin was a prominent local businessman who owned several properties including the hotel in Bell’s Corners, two mills, and the Goodwood Hall Farm (now known as the David Hartin House) in Goulbourn Township.

The Hartin Hotel has contextual value for its location at the junction of Old Richmond Road and Robertson Road. As the first of three hotels located at the advantageous midway point between Richmond and Ottawa, it offered a stopping place and services for farmers and their horses. Its location played an intrinsic part in the development of Bell’s Corners and contributes to an understanding of the area’s evolution from a rural, agricultural community, to a thriving suburb of Ottawa.

Objections

The Snowdon House’s cultural heritage value lies in its being an excellent example of the Queen Anne Revival style popular at the end of the 19th century and frequently used for the houses of the wealthy. Typical of the Queen Anne Revival, the building features an elaborate slate roof, an irregular plan with projecting bays, a truncated hipped roof, and a rich profusion of wooden details including carved bracketed bargeboards, shingles in the gable end, and a dentilled cornice. It is one of a pair of Queen Anne Revival houses on Lisgar Street (66 and 78) owned by members of the Magee family.

The Snowdon House also has cultural heritage value as one of an enclave of houses in this part of Centretown constructed for members of Ottawa’s elite. In 1891, upon their marriage, the Reverend J.M Snowdon and his wife Caroline, moved into the house, the ownership of which was transferred from her father. The house remained in their family ownership until Reverend Snowdon’s death in 1956. Snowdon was the long-time rector of St. George’s Anglican Church on Metcalfe Street and a prominent member of the Anglican Church of Canada. He became an archdeacon in 1920 and remained involved in the church after he retired. The house has had a number of functions since 1956, including offices and the headquarters of the Navy League of Canada.

Alfredsson retires after signing one-day contract with Sens Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Sports - Daniel Alfredsson, the Ottawa Senators longest serving captain, announced he will retire from the NHL after making good on a one-day contract with the Ottawa Senators on Dec. 4.

“It’s going to be a night I’ll never forget,” said Alfredsson at the Dec. 4 news conference where he announced his retirement, flanked

by Senators’ owner Eugene Melnyk and the team’s general manager Bryan Murray.

Alfredsson will take part in the Sens’ pregame skate and a ceremony held in his honour before the team’s Dec. 4 game against the New York Islanders.

“I think the place will be absolutely going wild,” said Melnyk, where Ottawa will simultaneously welcome back and say goodbye to Alfredsson.

“It’s emotional for me, there is no question, and I definitely do cry,” he said of his decision to retire.

Making the announcement a week before his 42nd birthday, Alfredsson explained his decision was due to physical problems incurred from a long hockey career.

Despite training hard this past summer to make himself ready for another season, Alfredsson said he could not play at 100 per cent

Adam Kveton/Metroland

Former Ottawa Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson, centre, officially announced his retirement from the NHL at the Canadian Tire Centre on Dec.4. Alfredsson returned to Ottawa after a year in Detroit to make the announcement, and has signed a one-game contract with the Senators to take part in the team’s Dec. 4 warm up, with a ceremony preceding the Senators game against the New York Islanders. He announced the decision at a press conference with Senators owner Eugene Melnyk, left, and Sens general manager Bryan Murrey, right. and so would retire.

“Could I have played a little bit, forced it?

Maybe,” he said.

The decision to retire was a tough one, he said, but ultimately felt like the right thing to do.

Alfredsson said he was thrilled to be able to retire as an Ottawa Senator, and return to his adopted town after spending a year playing for the Detroit Red Wings.

“We grew from youngsters into ageing parents (in Ottawa),” he said, referring to him and

his wife, Bibi. “You made your town our town.

Thank you.”

Alfredsson also acknowledged his year in Detroit, thanking that city as well in his speech to the media.

The news conference was a chance for Alfredsson, along with Melnyk and Murray, to reminisce about his career. Murray recounted his astonishment at Alfredsson’s leadership, work ethic and toughness, recounting the player’s return to a game after suffering a broken jaw, and playing with a broken rib in another.

Melnyk referred to him as “the greatest player that this city has even seen in many ways,” referring not only to his work on the ice, but his openness with fans and his charity work.

Alfredsson pointed to his work with the Royal Ottawa Hospital Foundation’s mental health awareness campaign as a high point in his career. He said the campaign will remain an important part of his life.

The future of the 41-year-old hockey star has yet to be decided, he said. Though Melnyk said the door is always open for Alfredsson to find a place with the Senators, Alfredsson said this first year of retirement will be taken with his family, enjoying extra time with his children and his wife, and deciding what he wants to do.

Nature museum brings Arctic experience to Ottawa New exhibit showcases culture, wildlife and research from the north Michelle Nash

Michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Not everyone is lucky enough to visit the Arctic.

The journey makes for a difficult and expensive trip and there is only a limited number of times during the year when it’s even possible.

The Canadian Museum of Nature is providing an alternate route for Arctic enthusiasts in Ottawa, with its latest exhibit, Arctic Voices, which opened on Dec. 5.

The exhibit showcases how connected the communities are, what types of wildlife, plant life and ocean life dwell in the area and most importantly it allows people the opportunity to learn about the Arctic’s past, present and future.

“The Arctic is such a massive part of our country and such a hard place to get to,” said Laurel McIvor, senior educator at museum.

“People need to learn and know more about our own backyard and this is one way they can.”

The museum worked in partnership with the Science North in Sudbury to produce the show,

which will run in Ottawa until May 3, 2015.

While developing the exhibit, McIvor said the museum collaborated with the Inuit community in Ottawa, as well as worked with Students On Ice -- another museum collaborated research project -- to connect with the many different cultures which thrive in the Arctic.

“One of the exciting things about this project is the inclusion of the Inuit community,” McIvor said. “We wanted to make sure we didn’t talk about the nature of the Arctic without talking about the people who live there.”

One example of reaching out locally was when the museum met with Heidi Langille and Lynda Brown and learned about their throat singing talents.

The two, who teach and perform throat singing in Ottawa are featured in a video segment which both teaches people the techniques of throat singing and offers the chance to try it out – all while recording their performances.

“Throat singing is so much fun – we needed to make it interactive,” McIvor said.

McIvor tried out the new attraction herself, and laughed when she watched the video of her efforts.

Aside from that game, people can also try to leap as far as an Arctic hare or crawl through a polar bear den.

Botanist and director of the Centre for Arctic Knowledge and Exploration, Jeff Saarela, said he is most excited about the plant life featured at the exhibit.

There are multiple plant specimens on

Laurel McIvor and Emily Mateas practise throat singing at the new Arctic Voices exhibit at the Canadian Museum of Nature on Dec. 3. The exhibit features a look at wildlife, life in the ocean, plant life and interactive games like the throat singing, which is karaoke-style complete with a video recording. display, both old – specimens from Sir John Franklin’s 1819-22 expedition – and new, demonstrating the types of plant life growing in the area as well as dioramas with specific types of plants – cloudberries and Arctic poppies – growing in their natural habitat.

“We can’t bring the tundra to Ottawa, but here the exhibition showcases the diversity of the Arctic really well,” Saarela said.

Along with the opportunity to check out

plant life, Franklin’s book on the account of his 1819-22 voyage is on display and visitors will also be able to see 15 artifacts from the crew of Franklin’s last and ill-fated expedition.

The museum has hosted Arctic events in the past, but this year, McIvor said that throughout the run of the exhibit, the museum intends to host different events and programming.

Events will be listed on the museum’s website, nature.ca.
