Sir Wil mounts Toy Mountain drive

Brier [email protected]

Students and staff at Sir Wilfrid laurier Secondary School celebrated the launch of their 2014 toy Moun-tain campaign on nov. 24.

after the band performed holiday songs for seniors from the eastern ottawa resource Centre’s day pro-gram and daycare children, school council co-presidents Jenna Braham and Cameron Dunfee lit the Christ-

mas trees in the display near the school’s entrance.

Coun. Bob Monette said it’s a common misconception that there are few people in need living in orlé-ans, and thanked organizers for being community leaders.

the display has a toy drop box that can be locked to keep the donations secure.

the school is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and members of the public are welcome to contribute to the school’s toy Mountain collection.

Donated toys must be unwrapped and dropped off by Dec. 17.

the toys will then be taken to

Place d�orléans to join a larger col-lection before distribution.

If Eugene Perabo had to sum up his life story in a word, it would be “adven-ture.”

His life story, which he wrote and orally dictated for a video, details his childhood life in the Netherlands when his father was sent to a con-centration camp, travelling to developing countries as an adult, and cycling and canoe adventures with his wife and children.

Perabo’s story is one of 10 that have been compiled through the Great Stories Never Told program run by Sonshine Families, a com-munity organization based in Orléans.

The goal of the project is for seniors to pass on their history to future generations of family. Perabo decided to take part after reading about the program in the newspa-per.

“I realized many of the children or grandchildren knew very little about their

grandparents,” he said. The organization received

funding from the New Ho-rizons for Seniors program that paid for high definition video cameras and lighting equipment. Volunteers helped program participants put to-gether their stories.

It took about 18 hours per person to compose the sto-ries, which average 25 pages in length. They then orally detailed their life story, which was edited to 45 minutes and put on a DVD.

The stories were then ed-ited, photos added, and sent to the printer.

Each participant will re-ceive a copy of the DVD and book, but program manager Kofo Iziomon said some par-ticipants purchased up to 20 copies.

“I think of C.S. Lewis, who wrote Chronicles of Narnia for his goddaughter,” Izio-mon said. “I think these will have a similarly tremendous impact on generations of the future.”

See STORIES, page 3

Life stories put to paper with Great Stories Never Told program

BrIEr DODGE/METrOLaND

Eugene Perabo browses through the draft copy of his life story at Sonshine Families on Nov. 24. Perabo, 76, is one of 10 seniors who produced their life story in book and DVD form with help from Sonshine volunteers.

Continued from page 2

She said some of the participants didn’t think they had a great story to tell, but were able to realize how much they had contributed to their community by putting the years of their lives on paper.

“They realize all they’ve contrib-uted,” she said.

Participants had the option to compose their life story in English

or French, but everyone chose to complete theirs in English, Iziomon said.

Perabo has lived in Orléans for 10 years, and has already begun to write part of his life story when he heard about the program. It seemed like a good opportunity for him to compose his own life story.

“It’s initially a little bit stressful,” Perabo said. “But once you get go-ing, you remember more than you

can put on paper.”He purchased 10 copies of the

book of his life story, and plans to give a copy to each of his children. He may have it translated into Dutch and German in the future for siblings or other relatives who live abroad.

He used copies of a diary he started at age 17, which helped jog his memory of his early days as a 19-year-old who had just arrived in Canada.

After several drafts and edits with help from his wife, Perabo’s story is now complete, and will be highlighted alongside the nine oth-ers at an event for family members on Dec. 13.

There will be a screening of high-lights of each of their stories at the Promenade Seniors Suites for the participants and up to four family members of each of them.

Izioman will attend as both the

program co-ordinator and relative of a participant, as her own mother put together a life story that will be able to be passed down generations. Some participants were apprehen-sive about being filmed for the video and sharing the details of their lives, but she is excited to see participants’ reactions to the final product.

“When everybody sees it, they’ll think, ‘Wow, that’s awesome,’” she said.

A unique theatre company will perform an Ottawa-specific show focusing on three Ottawa communities, including the St. Joseph Boulevard area.

The Tale of a Town will come to three surprise lo-cations in Wellington West, Orléans and downtown. Ticket purchasers for the two Dec. 4 shows at 7 and 9 p.m. will meet at the Great Canadian Theatre Com-

pany, while Dec. 5 ticket purchasers will meet at the Shenkman Arts Centre for the same time shows. Dec. 6 ticket purchasers will meet at the Arts Court Theatre.

The show is produced by Fixt Point Theatre, a com-pany that develops individual community shows to re-flect each town or city’s heritage and development.

Husband and wife duo and creators Lisa Marie DiLi-berto and Charles Ketchabaw have produced the shows in over 30 Canadian communities and five provinces. In Ottawa, they have focused on collecting stories from locals and pedestrians on Rideau Street, Wellington Street West, and St. Joseph Boulevard.

“We’ve been gathering stories about community and the types of community components that make up those neighbourhoods,” Ketchabaw said. “People in Ottawa are very friendly.”

The theatre company is working with Ottawa col-laborators Emily Pearlman, Patrick Gauthier and Katie Swift while in town. The company performs with a mix of their own travelling members and local profession-als.

The group created, rehearsed and will perform the play all in less than a month. All three Ottawa commu-nities will be portrayed in the hour-long show.

The bilingual show will portray Orléans� develop-ment, said Ketchabaw.

�We�re looking at the development of Orléans from when it was a tiny village to what it is now a big suburb of Ottawa,” he said. “It’s a community memory.”

The show will combine music, archival documents and live performance.

“It’s certainly a show you’ve never seen before,” he said, adding that many audience members are often brought to tears with the story of their community.

The stories will return to Ottawa for the upcoming celebrations of Canada’s 150th anniversary.

“All the stories are infusing with the project we’re creating for 2017,” Ketchabaw said.

Tickets are $20 and available at www.artscourt.ca.

Vintage Stock Theatre continues a tradition of locally-influenced histori-cal-themed plays with A Long Way from Home, relating the story of little known Ottawa-born actor Rockliffe “St. Patrick” Fellowes during his last years in Hollywood.

Performances are Dec. 4, 5 and 6 at

7:30 p.m. at the Shenkman Arts Cen-tre, in Orléans.

The play was put together by an Or-léans playwright, Susan Flemming.

Fellowes was barely out of his teens when he abandoned his hometown of Ottawa for an older woman and the bright lights of Broadway. He became a household name in 1915 with his first silent movie, Regeneration, and went on to make movies with Joan Crawford and Bette Davis.

Playwright and director Flemming first discovered Fellowes while re-searching stories for Ottawa’s Beech-wood Cemetery, where he lies buried since his death in 1950.

“Rockcliffe Fellowes’ life read like a novel, a page turner that you can’t put down, and I wanted to not only capture his ups and downs through this play, but to also reflect on the na-ture of success,” said Flemming.

Tickets are $15 ($12 for children). Purchase tickets at door, online at www.vintagestock.on.ca or by calling 613-860-0603. For more information:

A Long Way From Home coming to Shenkman

There are times in every mother’s life when she thinks, “No one ever told me this was part of parent-

ing.”There are the simple times, like

when you have to explain to a young child not to play with themselves in

public. And the mildly more compli-cated times like when a kindergar-tener asks you to define “wet dream.” And then there’s head lice – or what I like to call, the “turn-your-house-up-side-down-for-days” kind of times.

I know what you’re thinking: head lice are a rite of passage for kids.

But, the thing is, nobody prepares the parents. At the very least, no one prepared me.

If you’ve been to my house in the last six months, you’ll realize something – I’m a terrible house-keeper. It’s not my calling and I’m not ashamed to admit it. I have tried – and officially failed – to exist without any help in the home. It’s not that the house is dirty, but with three kids and a student boarder, our 1200-square-foot home is not always what

you’d call tidy.One evening in November, just

before bedtime, my son was sitting at the piano.

Seniors are supposed to be gullible and targets for scam-mers of all kinds.

You read that all the time, about door-to-door fraudsters, phoney charities and, especially, computers. Seniors are supposed to be babes in the woods when it comes to computers. I’m not so sure about that. The seniors I know are a pretty knowledgeable bunch.

After all, if you’re 70 now, that means you were 40 or so when computers came to be widely used in workplaces and in your 50s when the Internet entered our lives.

But maybe scammers don’t know that. The other day the phone rang and it was a guy from an authorita-tive-sounding outfit warning us that our computer had been taken over

by criminals and he would help us fix matters, if we would let him take control of the computer. After a slight delay, caused by an inability to un-derstand what he was talking about, we replied, as follows: CLICK.

Amazingly, he called back, quite annoyed that he had been hung up upon and resumed his pitch. “Who are you, again?” we asked. He re-peated the name of the authoritative-sounding outfit. CLICK, we replied. He didn’t call back.

Those sorts of calls can happen to anyone and there is a faint credibility to them because many people have, in fact, had difficulties with their computers being hacked in various small and large ways.

After all, the Ottawa Police Ser-vices, no nest of gullible seniors, was hit just last week.

So you might wonder, after you’ve done the correct thing and hung up, if you made a mistake. The helpful thing then is to use your computer-savviness and punch the name of the authoritative-sounding outfit into Google, followed by a word such as “scam.” Bingo! Up pop dozens of articles about exactly the phenom-enon you’ve just experienced. It’s been happening in Canada, all over the U.S. and Britain. Charges have

been laid. It turns out that hanging up was exactly the right thing – as it almost always is. There are many nasty things about the Internet. One of the nicer things is it enables us to get information confirming we are not alone.

It doesn’t take a lot of savvy to double-check before accepting any kind of offer and most people do, since it’s now so easy. But obviously some people don’t, which helps to make these scams profitable. And there will be new ones coming along, new reasons to double-check, new reasons to hang up.

Are seniors extremely vulnerable to such scams? I doubt it, but it is probably true that older people are more trusting than younger ones. The people who are seniors now were not brought up to fear that everyone was trying to cheat them. They were brought up to take what people said at face value.

The downside of that is that they may be more likely to be scammed. The upside of that is that they don’t spend every waking minute in fear that someone is trying to take advan-tage of them. If that’s what vulner-ability means, it beats the alternative.

As the season of giving approaches, it’s fascinating to see how some charitable groups are working to connect Canadi-ans to people in need.

Instead of donating some cash to the general revenues of a charity – where it will no doubt be put to good use – Unicef will tell you what your donation can do in human terms. For example, your $50 can provide 20 litres of therapeutic milk for children in need. Oxfam gets even more spe-cific. Give $15 and Oxfam will give a family in a developing country a chicken, which in turn pro-vides them with eggs. You can give a sheep or goat too, which can supply wool or milk.

Recently, the Lions Club in Kanata picked out a piece of equipment for the Ottawa Hospital Eye Institute that is expected to improve the accuracy when doctors attempt to diagnose eye problems. What better way to get people behind a project than to set a goal of buying a specific item that will provide a specific, positive outcome?

This straightforward way of contributing to a

cause allows donors to see their efforts being put to use. They know they are directly connected with the end result: one chicken, one family fed.

Donors to food banks can feel the same connec-tion because they know the can of corn or bag of oats they give will be cooked up and served at the table of a family in need of a little help. Money can obviously be put to use by the same food bank, but the connection is not be the same. We see this desire to make a difference when an individual in our own community battles a serious disease. Sud-denly a disease we’ve only heard of has a face and we realize this person is just like us. It’s only hu-man to want to help them.

Large charitable organizations must do even more to humanize their efforts. Large scale groups such as the United Way do good work, but they also create a layer of dispersal of funds that sepa-rates the giver form the person being assisted, and there is always the perception of some funds being used to keep the bureaucracy running.

’Tis the season to give.

Instead of playing, he was scratching his head. After 10 minutes, I started to get annoyed with him. “But Mom, I’m itchy!”

I looked at the crown of his tussled head and pulled out a louse.

I glanced at the plethora of stuffed toys, costumes and socks littered around the room.

And then I freaked out. “No one’s going to bed

tonight,” I yelled. My husband looked at me and put our long-haired two-year-old in her crib. “We’ll deal with her tomor-row,” he said.

Not knowing a thing about the little bugs, I decided overkill would be the best ap-proach.

I started by shearing the boys’ hair less than an inch long, a method lice expert Richard Pollock equates to “us-ing a cannon to kill a housefly.”

I went to the pharmacy and

asked for the strongest lice removal shampoo around.

We did the treatment, and then began the two-hour process of removing the nits from the boys’ hair, using a cheap nit comb and lamp with a built-in magnifying glass. We saved every nit and bug – stuck them to a piece of paper with parcel tape – so we could count them and investigate them under a microscope. Like I said, overkill.

The next day, I ordered The Terminator, a stainless steel nit-removal comb and I nit-picked those boys for days.

I washed every item of fab-ric that had potentially been exposed to anyone’s head. I gathered up pillows, toys, purses and backpacks in clear plastic leaf bags and left them on the picnic table in subzero

temperatures for days, all the while, chanting “Die! Die! Die!”

My husband and I vacu-umed and washed and need-lessly did the lice treatment on me, despite zero evidence of nits on my person.

In fact, according to Pol-lock, most of what we did was completely unnecessary. In the end, there were only

eight bugs and 40 nits be-tween the two boys, most of which we got the first day.

But it only takes one to start the whole process over again and I’ve since heard horror stories of households plagued by repeat head lice outbreaks for months on end.

Given that, I’ll use a “can-non to kill a housefly” every time.

Our family’s good fortune made for disappointing day

Going into Renfrew every Saturday for a couple hours while Mother de-

livered her wares and shopped for her weekly supplies was excitement enough.

Going into Renfrew for an entire day was pure rapture. Imagine: a whole day from early morning until the big clock in the centre of town told us it was time to head back out to Northcote.

This only happened once a year, however. That was the day, usually in early Decem-ber, when Turkey Fair Day rolled around. The excitement out on the farm would be at fever-pitch for days. The night before, I was sure Mother and Father never even bothered going to bed.

Chickens, turkeys, and a few geese would have to be ready. That meant making sure there wasn’t a feather in sight, the legs trussed up with string, and the necks tucked under.

Fresh butter wrapped in wax paper, and Mother’s famous sticky buns sitting on pieces

of square cardboard would be added to the fowl, in the hopes of earning a few extra dollars. Before we children went to bed, we saw Father hitch up the team and bring the big flat-bottomed sleigh to the kitchen door, to cut down on the time needed to get an early start into Renfrew the next morning.

My sister Audrey had made sandwiches and packed them in separate brown paper bags with a couple oatmeal cookies, which would be our lunch, since we expected to be in Renfrew well into the afternoon. We would be leav-ing the farm early, after a hasty breakfast.

Before we children were even out of bed, Mother and

Father would have arranged everything on the flat bottom sleigh, on top of layers of

quilts covered with sparkly white flour bag sheets, and more blankets on top.

Each fowl had to be placed just so if we hoped to sell them quickly. We knew the butter and mother’s sticky buns would go as soon as Father parked the sleigh. Parking the sleigh was another reason for going in at the crack of dawn. Where you parked was of prime importance.

You hoped to be right in the centre of the main street. That’s where the townspeople would be walking to look over what you had to offer, but more important, the big buyers, the men who came yearly from Ottawa, would concentrate on the centre of Raglan Street.

Of course, with the big sleigh covered with all the stuff Mother and Father hoped to sell, there was no room for us five kids, so we went in the double cutter, following be-hind, so full of excitement we could hardly contain ourselves.

Warm brie with caramelized topping a great appetizer

Conceivably more than any other appetizer, warm Brie cheese hits the spot with guests.

Cover with a stunning mix of sweet caramelized onions, tart apple and ruby-red sherry-laced cranberries and you know you have a winner.

Serve with baguette slices. Preparation time: 20 minutes. Cooking time: 45 minutes. Baking time: 20 minutes. Serves 16 as an appetizer.

IngredIents

• 2 onions• 25 ml (2 tbsp) butter • 10 ml (2 tsp) granulated sugar • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) salt• 50 ml (1/4 cup) dried cranberries

• 50 ml (1/4 cup) sherry or port • 125 ml (1/2 cup) diced apple • 450 g (1 wheel) double cream Brie cheese

PreParatIon

Cut the onions in half through the root end, and then into eight-millimetre (1/3-inch) thick slices. In a large skillet, melt the butter over low heat.

Add the onions, separat-ing them as they are added. Sprinkle them with sugar and salt, and cook, stirring often, for 20 minutes, reducing the heat if they’re starting to brown.

Meanwhile, combine the cranberries and sherry in a small microwaveable bowl. Microwave on high for one

minute, stir, cover and set aside.

Add apple to onions, cook, stirring often, until apple is tender and onions are golden, about 25 minutes.

Stir in the cranberries and any remaining sherry that hasn’t been absorbed. (Can be covered and refrigerated for up to four days.)

Place the Brie on a shal-low ovenproof serving dish. Spoon the onion mixture onto the Brie and spread almost to the edge.

Loosely tent with foil and bake in a 180 C (350 F) oven until the Brie sides feel warm to the touch – about 20 minutes.

Serve immediately.

Look of joy something to beholdContinued from page 12

Since it was so early in the morning, Father had no trou-ble finding a good spot right in front of Scott’s hardware, one of the busiest stores in the entire town of Renfrew. He parked the sleigh, unhitched the horses, and with Everett driving the cutter, they headed for the stables at the end of Raglan street.

It wasn’t long until all the butter and the sticky-buns were gone. I could see Mother’s little change purse starting to bulge. This was go-ing to be good day -- I could feel it in my bones. And the excitement of visiting the Five and Dime store was mounting by the minute.

And then came the men in the long white coats, just like old Doctor Murphy wore at the hospital, over their winter outerwear. They had red embroidery on their pockets, letting everyone know they were from Canada Packers.

They were all business, let me tell you. The dream, of course, was to have them buy every-thing you had on the sleigh in one fell swoop.

They obviously made Mother and Father an offer they couldn’t refuse, because I saw one of the white-coated men take a wad of bills out of his pocket as big as pickle crock, and start counting out the money into Mother’s out-stretched hand. Another one of the men walked quickly away, and before you could pledge allegiance to the flag, a big green truck pulled up beside our sleigh, and they began loading everything into the back, which looked to me like it could hold two full grown heifers.

And then our sleigh was empty. The look of sheer joy on Mother’s face was some-thing to behold. Father who rarely showed emotion of any kind, kept saying, “Well, by golly. Well, by golly,” as he lit and relit his pipe.

Emerson and Everett were sent to the drive shed for the cutter and the horses, and my dream of a full day in Renfrew evaporated before my eyes.

Although Mother and Father couldn’t believe their good fortune, with their pock-ets and change purse bulging at the seams, we five kids felt we had been done out of a day of excitement, all because three fat men wearing white coats cleared our sleigh with one fell-swoop.

Turkey Fair Day was over for another year. Mother could see our disappointment, and when the big sleigh turned into Briscoe’s General Store at Northcote, she made up for it, giving us each a nickel to buy what we want. Emerson head-ed for the licorice pipes, the others bought hard Christmas candy. I asked Mr. Briscoe to cut me off a couple slices of bologna, which I ate before we hit the cutter, so the day wasn’t a total loss after all. LIVE PERFORM

Corey Goudreault

A Norman Johnston Alternative School teacher named Pat McArthur just arrived safely home after a four-day trip to Scotland for the biennial Commonwealth Veteran (40+) Fenc-ing Championships.

His luggage however, was a dif-ferent story.

Apparently Air Canada staff

seemingly have some issues with a man carrying around a wide duffel bag stuffed with blades and wires.

McArthur has been fencing for years in the veteran circuit in Can-ada when he received an invitation to attend the championships held in Scotland where others from across the globe gathered for the presti-gious event.

McArthur is an experienced sabre

fencer, meaning that everything from the waist up is a target. According to McArthur there is a priority system in place that tends to be stricter than what is in place for foil format.

Sabre matches are also much faster, given one can score with the edge of the blade, unlike foil and épée formats where one can score only with the tip of the blade. Ad-vantage is very much given to the

attacker in this format because it is an unrelenting offense that achieves the better win/loss ratio.

When asked what he thought of the opposition, McArthur said, “(There were) some really good fencers, a lot are gold-medal olym-pic athletes, some world champi-ons.”

He was undaunted, however. Though scores have yet to be com-pletely tallied,

McArthur believes himself to be somewhere within the 27th - 32nd range within the veteran circuit of the entire commonwealth.

When asked what he thought of the event, he replied with a smile on his face, “It was a fantastic event. Like all international events it was a bit chaotic but it worked out.”

He later happily remarked that he would gladly attend again, depend-ing on where it is held, even for just the diverse and very friendly types of people that attend.

When McArthur wasn’t skewer-ing and being skewered à la Mac-beth, he enjoyed conversing with competitors, which he describes as being “an extremely friendly expe-rience, and very pleasant.”

2ND SECTION


The Orléans-Cumberland Commu-nity Resource Centre is looking to co-ordinate food and toy sponsorship for over 200 local families this Christmas.

The program, which has run for sev-eral years, gives families extra food for the Christmas holidays, a special din-ner and toys for children.

The Christmas program gives out food in a non-traditional way, which allows flexibility for dietary require-ments and privacy.

“When the program started we were preparing boxes, and then we would go deliver that to people’s homes” said program co-ordinator Joffre Malette. “We realized that having volunteers going to people’s houses with boxes was not a way of maintaining confi-

dentiality because your neighbours could see.”

The centre now gives extra food bank items at Christmas, so clients can stock up on non-perishables and stan-dard food bank items.

They also give a gift card for a local grocery store, which allows the clients to work around personal taste prefer-ences as well as dietary requirements, to accommodate vegetarians or a food allergy.

“You can go into your grocery store and make some purchases and no one knows you’re struggling financially,” Malette said

“So that was a way to put aside the traditional charity model where you go with your best guess.”

Malette said it’s a misconception that people are going to make bad de-cisions with the grocery store gift cards

just because they are resource centre clients.

“A person, even though they’re struggling financially, it doesn’t mean they don’t make sound decisions for themselves and their family,” he said. “There can be many reasons why someone is struggling financially.

It can be about access to affordable housing; it can be about having a stable and well paying job.

There are a lot of part-time and low-paying jobs.”

When a sponsor takes on a family, they also have the option to purchase toys for the children and are sent a list of suggestions that the family they’re sponsoring would enjoy.

It’s not mandatory to purchase the toys as well as sponsor the food, but most people choose to receive a fami-ly’s profile and purchase gifts, Malette said.

Malette expects about 230 families to apply for the Christmas program this year, as food bank usage has been on the increase.

The centre serves Orléans and Cumberland, though a section of Orlé-ans west of Place d’Orléans falls into the Gloucester food bank’s catchment area.

Many families and businesses will sponsor families, and have the choice to sponsor a single person, which is a $75 donation to purchase food, all the way up to a family of 12, which is a $250 donation.

Donors are also welcome to donate any amount of money to the resource centre and ask that it be earmarked for

the Christmas program.Anyone who wishes to donate can

contact Suzanne Wert at 613-830-4357, ext. 208 or by email at [email protected].

Alicia (not her real name) and her

family, which includes two adult chil-dren and two young girls, have benefit-ted from the Christmas program the past two years.

“The stress (at Christmas) would be not having enough money and not having a good Christmas din-ner for the kids,” said Alicia, who is in her 40s. “You have to try and budget.”

Last year, she was able to choose the food items she wanted from the food bank as well as her own items at the grocery store. For Alicia and her family, that meant getting a holiday dessert that wouldn’t be normally stocked - such as key lime pie or a cheesecake.

“It was a lot of groceries, which lasted the whole winter break,” she said. “I got the full Christmas meal.”

It also means she can select items that her children are going to like, such as yogurt or a specific cereal brand.

Last year, the sponsor paid close attention to what gifts were on the children’s wish lists, which made for very happy children on Christ-mas morning. They opened up a princess dress up set, microphone toy and floor puzzles.

“The toys were very much ap-preciated,” Alicia said. “They were super excited.”

This year, her girls are into ev-erything related to the movie Fro-zen. And again, Alicia will be able to get extra food from the food bank and a gift card to pick out her own items for the family of five’s Christmas dinner.

“I very much appreciate it,” she said. “It’s a big stress reliever to know that there is something like this out there.”

Orléans speed skater Ivanie Blon-din was a golden girl as she won her first world cup medal of the season.

Blondin, who now resides in Cal-gary to train, won her first-ever gold medal on the world cup circuit on Nov. 16 in Obihiro, Japan in the wom-en’s mass start race.

“It is something you aim for,” she said in an email. “But quite honestly, I wasn’t necessarily expecting it. I knew I had the potential to be on the podium, I just had to be patient and smart.”

She followed it up with a bronze medal a week later in the 5,000-metre race at the world cup event in Seoul, South Korea.

Blondin said her background in short track skating helps her in the mass start events, as does her aggres-sive style. In the mass start event, skaters have to fight to end up in the best possible lane, so a quick start can give a skater a big advantage.

“There was shoving and pushing, so it’s a good thing I can be aggres-sive,” she said.

She won the 16-lap race over Nana Takagi of Japan by one-tenth of a second. Third place went to Irene Schouten of the Netherlands.

While Blondin has competed in mass start events during the past four world cup seasons, mass start wasn’t a medal event in the last Olympic Games, where Blondin competed in other distance races. It has been added to the Olympics medal events for the next Games.

“I think it’s great. It’s definitely a race I can potentially bring a medal home for Canada,” she said about the mass start addition. “If I can medal in this distance I also think I have the potential to medal in other distances as well.”

In a press release, her coach Mark Wild said he’s been very happy with Blondin’s performance so far this sea-son.

“She came into the season moti-vated to improve her skating from last year,” he said. “We’ve put emphasis on improving technique and specific strength in the skating position. We’ve also worked on improving her endur-ance.”

Blondin got her start competing for the Gloucester Concordes out of the Bob McQuarrie Recreation Complex.

Ivanie Blondin displays her gold medal standing beside her coach, Mark Wild. Blondin, who hails from Orléans, won her first-ever individual gold medal at a world cup event on Jan. 16.

Be alert to warning signs of an eating disorder

Everyday desires to look good and be in shape can slip into problem thoughts and behaviours. Here are some signs to look out for:

• Excessive concern about weight, shape and calories.

• Over-exercise and guilt if exer-cise regime is not kept.

• Guilt, shame or secrecy about eating.

• Strict avoidance of certain foods, particularly those considered fatten-ing.

• Feeling fat regardless of body-size.

• Weight, shape and food control determining how a person feels about their worth.

How you can Help:

• Learn as much as possible about eating disorders - the more you know, the more you can help someone.

• Let the person know that you are concerned and are there to help them.

• Focus on the person’s over-all well-being, not food and their weight.

• Find out what services are avail-able in your area by calling the Na-tional Eating Disorder Information Centre.

• Be patient and compassionate. Overcoming food and weight issues takes time and courage.

Thanks to the efforts of local vol-unteer firefighters, the Kiwanis Club of Orléans

and volunteers from the Orléans-Cumberland Community Resource Centre, the shelves at the Orléans-Cumberland food bank have been re-plenished just in time for the holiday season.

More than 33,350 items were col-lected during the Firefighters Food Drive which took place at four local supermarkets on Nov. 15.

Volunteer firefighters from the Cumberland Village, Vars, Navan and Charlemagne Boulevard fire sta-tions accepted food donations from the Sobeys store at Trim and Innes;

the Great Canadian Superstore; and the Metro stores at Innes and Tenth Line and the Convent Glen Shopping Mall.

The donated items were then taken to the Orléans-Cumberland Commu-nity Resource Centre where they were sorted by members of the Kiwanis Club of Orléans and volunteers from

Students and staff from ev-ery school in the Ottawa pub-lic board came together on Nov. 27 to learn about issues affecting a diverse group of students at the Confederation Education Centre.

“It’s about students and staff and the community coming together and learn-ing about LGBTQ issues so we can create more inclusive school environments,” said Rainbow Youth Forum co-chair Matt Gagnier, a school board employee.

A teacher from every ele-mentary and high school was in attendance, as well as stu-dents from each of the board’s high schools, which made for about 475 attendees.

Students participated in a variety of workshops, each with an LGBTQ angle. Gagnier said the workshops weren’t just for students who identify as lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender or queer, but any student interested in supporting school diversity.

Student workshops in-cluded sessions on sexual health, fi rst-person accounts of young peoples’ experi-ences coming out and how

to be an ally to friends who are exploring or transitioning their gender identify or gen-der expression.

“Normally people would snicker or laugh,” said Darien Paul, a Grade 10 student at Ridgemont High School. “But here no one does that; it’s a serious subject.”

Darien is an ally member of his school’s gay-straight alliance, so he found the ses-sion on being an ally useful. The students also discussed how to bring up topics that they may not know how to ad-dress, or feel awkward about.

Darien learned about gen-der-neutral pronouns that have been developed to re-place “his” and “her” or “she” and “him,” and he intends to speak to his principal about what was suggested.

“I have a friend who cries every day because a teacher doesn’t call her what she wants to be called,” Darien said. “I’m going to talk to the principal about some new programs for teachers.”

It was the fi rst year at the forum for Darien, but the fourth year for Grade 12 stu-dent Robert Ryan from Sir Wilfrid Laurier Secondary School.

He’s attended the forum during every year of high school because of the diver-sity of workshops and the chance to meet different stu-dents who attend.

“What I’m going to take back to my school is how to push mental health aware-ness,” Robert said. He also plans to encourage the school to send even more attendees next year. This year, Sir Wil-frid Laurier sent 20 students.

The teacher workshops are based on feedback from pre-vious years and may focus on ways to make the curriculum more inclusive of all types of students. One teacher work-shop was about how to use LGBTQ-themed books in kindergarten through Grade 8 classrooms, such as using children’s books with a di-verse range of families.

“It’s an inclusive educa-tion,” Gagnier said. “We want students to see themselves re-fl ected.”

The intention is that the teachers from each school will take back what they’ve learned to the rest of the teacher population.

It was the 10th year for the conference, and the an-niversary was celebrated with a special ceremony and des-serts.

“The forum of the past 10 years has grown signifi cant-ly,” Gagnier said. “It’s the board’s largest student con-ference.”

Choked-up Rainer Bloess says goodbye to councilLaura [email protected]

Rainer Bloess delivered emotional goodbye remarks during his fi nal city council meeting as councillor for Innes Ward on Nov. 26.

“Twenty years – just like that. Gone,” Bloess said, tearing up. “It was a good 20 years. (I have) no real regrets.

“From the time I was born in a (displaced persons) camp, came to this country as an immigrant, came to Carleton University and got elected, it’s been a good ride,” Bloess said.

The 62-year-old is looking forward to travelling with his partner, Lynn Leduc, and already has a three-month trip to South America planned.

Bloess said the city’s future looks bright, especially since council has been building on a great foundation set by its forefathers by adding things like light-rail transit and by cleaning up the Ottawa River.

Future city councils will face the challenge of creating better relation-ships and connections with Gatineau, as well as the federal and provincial governments, Bloess said.

“My dream was for (Canada’s 150th anniversary in) 2017 to see the two sides (of the river) linked with an aerial transit system, an aerial cable car, that links ... the two transit sys-tems (at LeBreton Flats), instead of running empty buses past each other during peak hours every day. I don’t know if that will ever happen, it may take some partnership with the (National Capital Commission), but that’s in your hands.”

Bloess thanked his family in his tearful speech. He said his children got a better education then he did, “which means they won’t be going into politics,” he joked.

The Holidays Can Be a Perfect Time to Welcome a New Pet

Imagine a holiday season where you not only fulfi ll your children’s holiday wishes but make a homeless animal’s dreams come true too.

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

From kittens and rabbits to dogs and hamsters, the OHS is seeking families interested in having volunteer elves drop by with their new four-legged family member on Dec. 25 or

any night of Hanukkah.Regular adoption procedures still

apply, which means parents would come in to the shelter in advance to fi ll out an application form, be matched with the right pet, and speak with an adoption counsellor.

This delivery program is busting the myth that pets should not be adopted during the holidays, the fear being that animals are given as holiday gifts with no thought to the commitment needed to be a responsible pet owner. In fact, if you’ve been thinking about

adding a pet to your family, this may be the right time to do it, said Bruce Roney, OHS executive director.

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

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

Meet Big Ben (A174872), a gorgeous, two-year-old, gold, Flemish Giant bunny seeking a forever family to call his own.

Big Ben is the perfect name for this very large rabbit! His impressive size means he is far too big to be kept in a standard rabbit cage.

Big Ben would do best with an experienced rabbit owner who will allow him to have free run of the home. He’s a little shy at fi rst but will become best of friends with you if you give him some time to get comfortable.

For more information on Big Ben 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.BIG BEN, ID# A174872

New program connects community with art

Michelle [email protected]

Local artists have teamed up with non-profit organizations in the city to add a little art to the lives of clients.

Created by the Orléans arts orga-nization, AOE Arts Council, the lat-est programming, dubbed Art Place, was launched at Elisabeth Bruyère Residence on Nov. 25.

In total, the new program will op-erate six art projects at six organiza-tions in the city which executive di-rector Victoria Steele said will help fill the gap in artistic programming at these sites.

“This program offers, in my view, truly meaningful benefits,” Steele said. “The arts really will be a com-munity building tool and I can’t wait to see the results.”

So far, the Immigrant Women Ser-

vices Ottawa, Zonta Club Ottawa, Hospice Care Ottawa and Saint-Lou-is Residence join the Elisabeth Bru-yère Residence as five organizations who have partnered with the council to host the artists. The sixth location is yet to be determined.

Each artist or art group will be paired with one of the locations for a period of five to eight weeks. The artists will work with the organiza-tion and its clients to create an artis-tic project.

This year, the projects will range from theatre to sculptures to story-telling and book arts.

“Working with the clients at the Immigrant Women Services Ottawa has been a delight,” said artist Naomi Tessler. “I am fascinated by the jour-ney we will be travelling together. I think it will create positive change in their lives.”

Tessler, a Forum Theatre artist, will lead workshops at the immi-grants centre. Her project will offer participants the opportunity to hone their theatre skills and gain confi-dence to speak up and act out on social issues. The objective is to of-fer participants the tools to encour-age self-confidence, environmental awareness and well-being.

The arts council received $149,000 from the Ontario Trillium Founda-tion to fund Art Place.

The money will be handed out over a three year period to fund the artists.

According to programming co-ordinator Cassandra Olsthoorn, the goal is to expand this program be-yond the three-year funding window, and to do that the council will be looking to create more community support as well as encourage dona-tions on its website, artsoe.ca.

“We have lots of artists, it is just a matter of finding them some space,” she said.

Olsthoorn said each artist request-ed the type of organization to work with.

For Sarah Conn of STO Union Theatre Company, she asked to be partnered with Hospice Care Ot-tawa.

“I had a friend who volunteered for the May Court and her experi-ence inspired me,” she said.

Conn and the theatre company will be working with the palliative care patients on an interactive theatre program --building a life-sized board game. The hope is that each client will contribute to the project.

“We wanted to find a way to have multiple stories and multiple ideas of what affects someone in life,” Conn said. This way, she added, clients can share their life stories, or life lessons in building the game.

Eventually, the board game theatre presentation will be made public.

“Their voices, ideas, images will become a gift to the rest of us,” she said.

The program will operate at Hos-pice Care Ottawa’s Kanata location on McCurdy Drive.

The other programs will see se-niors in Orleans building large-scale sculpture for an outdoor space, west-end women from the Zonta Club of Ottawa will learn the art of storytell-ing and residents of the Bruyère cen-tre will create mixed-media journals as mementos.

The programming is offered free for clients.

All projects will be showcased in a closing celebration on Feb. 25, 2015.

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

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

Aries, expect to be called into action several times this week. You may prefer to avoid the spotlight, but that won’t be the case this week. Make the most of this opportunity.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

Taurus, all of a sudden you are so busy it can be difficult to find a few moments to rest. Thankfully, you are able to keep up with all of the activity.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21

Gemini, seek advice from a trusted confidante as you contemplate a major lifestyle change. This person will provide valuable insight as you look to make the best decision possible.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

Cancer, going solo on a project may not seem like the ideal situation. But you don’t want to be distracted this week, so going it alone is the best way to tackle the tasks at hand.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

Leo, following your gut may not always work out, but this week everything works out for the best. Curb impulsiveness as much as you can, though.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

Virgo, although you might be dreaming of a lavish vacation and an escape from the daily grind, it’s just not possible at this time. Start saving for this dream excursion.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23

Libra, although it’s noble to offer assistance to everyone you meet, you may be struggling to take care of yourself in the process. You must put your needs first.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

A desire to detach from others and be entirely self-sufficient can have some challenges, Scorpio. You don’t need to give up independence to have the support of others.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

Sagittarius, your energy levels are high and there is nothing you can’t accomplish this week. Avoid extra caffeine because you’re already buzzing.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

Find a balance between caution and carelessness, Capricorn. You cannot control every situation, and this week you may have something unexpected come your way.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

Aquarius, if you’re on the lookout for new work opportunities, look no further than your own supervisor for guidance. He or she may be your biggest ally.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

You have boundless creativity, Pisces, and this week you get to channel it into a special project. Don’t overextend yourself until everything gets done.
