There’s something fi shy happening in Chapman Mills.
Local aquatic life will soon have some fresh swimming grounds after new fi sh hab-itat is created along the Rideau River shore-line inside the Chapman Mills conservation area near Riverside South and Barrhaven.
The habitat creation is part of a com-pensation program to offset the loss of fi sh habitat farther down the river due to several new housing and road developments in the area. Under the federal Fisheries Act, de-velopers are fi nancially responsible for cre-ating, maintaining and fi nancing new fi sh habitat to compensate for any that must be destroyed in the development process. Three major developers in Ottawa – DCR Phoenix, Tartan Homes and Claridge Homes – are all
involved in the new developments in Otta-wa’s south end, and have been working with the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) to build new fi sh habitat on the RV-CA’s land at Chapman Mills.
Pierre Dufresne from Tartan Homes said the three developers, who are all building in the same area, will split the cost three ways. He couldn’t name the exact price, but he said it will run over $100,000 – a price Tartan Homes seems willing to pay.
“If you take away, you have to give back,” Dufresne said. “We could have kept the cur-rent habitat and put in buffers, but in an ur-ban area that’s impractical. So it’s certainly fair that we provide some compensation, and what we remove we give back in an en-hanced form.”
Jennifer Lamoureux, an aquatic and fi sh habitat biologist with the RVCA, said a new development along a Jock River tribu-
tary just south of Barrhaven will block the tributary from entering the Jock River and subsequently the Rideau, putting pressure on fi sh that will not be able to navigate their way to new locations.
“Because of storm water management design options, unfortunately the original tributaries have to be lost to achieve the necessary grades and achieve proper storm water management for the site,” explained Lamoureux.
Mosquito Creek in Riverside South will also be affected.
“There’s a development there and a very large road system is going in. This road sys-tem is raising the grades in such a way that the fi sh won’t be able to access the river’s tributaries anymore. It would be impossible to navigate the system into that upper area.”

An infl ux of traffi c into the boom-ing Riverside South neighbourhood has prompted the city to install a new four-way stop and fl ashing beacon on residen-tial Spratt Road last week.
Spratt Road currently services two sec-ondary and two elementary schools as well as a network of residential streets, generating a lot of traffi c, particularly during rush hour.
Previously, the signs on Owl Cabin Avenue and North Bluff Drive at the in-tersection with Spratt Road made life diffi cult for residents, particularly those on Owl Cabin trying to turn left towards Limebank Road.
“There were some complaints, so the city did a study,” explained Anne Stein-berg, a local resident and secretary for the Riverside South Community Association. “I think it’s going to help with the traffi c load for sure. With the new (Catholic sec-ondary) school down the road and with nearby Limebank Road being so fabulous now, everyone’s using that as a route to
get to the downtown area. There’s been an increase in traffi c for sure.”
The city’s study found the intersection did not warrant traffi c lights, recom-mending a four-way stop instead.
But resident Harry Habash, who lives near the intersection on Owl Cabin Av-enue, said he wishes the city had chosen to install lights.
“This fl ashing light, what is it going to do? How does it work? Will it slow people down? With traffi c lights, you know for sure. You’ve got a red light or a green light,” Habash said. “It’s a very busy in-tersection, and we have to think for the future. In a few years time this neigh-bourhood will be fi nished and it will be very busy.”
He added that right now he has to wait several minutes to turn left onto Spratt Road, although he admitted the four-way stop will probably help.
Steinberg said the fl ashing light and four-way stop should help make the neighbourhood traffi c a little safer for residents.
“It’s a great way to make people aware; there are a lot of kids in the area.”

KidSport Ottawa will receive an ex-tra $1,750 in funding to help disadvan-taged kids take part in sports, thanks to a $100,000 donation to umbrella char-ity KidSport Ontario from the Foranzi Group.
Foranzi Group, a national sporting goods retailer that stores such as Sport Chek and Athletes World, donated the money through its nationwide Power of Sport for Kids program, which could help as many as 35 extra kids join a sports team in Ottawa in the coming year.
KidSport Ottawa grants are given to children aged 5 to 18 years old who face fi nancial barriers that prevent them from taking part in organized sport.
Grants range from $50 to $350, and can be used to help offset the cost of registra-tion or equipment. Since 2005, KidSport Ottawa has provided approximately 350 kids around Ottawa with grants to help play for the sports team of their choice – anything from hockey and football to horseback riding and martial arts.
The Ottawa Internationals Soccer Club
has had 69 participants play on its teams thanks to KidSport Ottawa since 2005, more than any other organization in the city – and staff are proud of it.
“I think its really important for kids to take part in any sport, so anything that gets these kids in is really great, especial-ly since the KidSport program targets organized sports,” said Bob Monaghan, vice president of boys leagues at the club. He particularly appreciates how KidSport maintains the anonymity of the children it sponsors.
“The real key is that nobody knows they’re sponsored. The teammates don’t know, and the coaches don’t know. I think that’s a real plus and the way its done is excellent,” he said.
Parents apply directly to KidSport and when the grant is approved the charity simply sends the sports club a cheque to cover the child’s fees.
“If it’s a bit under, we just take it and make up the difference,” Monaghan add-ed.
Natalie Brett, program coordinator for KidSport Ottawa, said the anonymous approach stems from their goal to help kids participate like every other child.
“We do that so the children don’t feel singled out, so that the families don’t feel like they’re charity cases. They belong like everybody else,” Brett explained. “The privacy of it is a large component to our mentality of integration and equal
opportunity.” To be eligible, children’s families must
fall under the Canadian low income cut-off (LICO), according to Natalie Brett, the program coordinator for KidSport Ottawa.
For a family of four, this means the family’s total income would fall around $40,000, with little extra cash for luxu-ries such as organized sports. Brett said the program prioritizes fi rst-time appli-cants who want to play in recreational leagues.
Foranzi Group also dedicated a quar-ter of its $100,000 donation to applica-tions for OFSAA (Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations), which governs and organizes high school sports
in Ontario. High school applicants to KidSport Ottawa will have access to this $25,000 to help offset the costs of playing high school sports, which Brett said have been slowly rising.
“The nice thing is if we get an applica-tion for a youth wanting to play a high school sport, we can take it from the $25,000 reserved for OFSAA instead of from our local pot,” she said.
Brett stressed the funding will help bring joy to children of all ages, as well as contribute to healthier communities and well-rounded students.
“It’s a very positive announcement that we want to highlight.”

The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board has indentifi ed an expansion for Riverside South’s Steve MacLean Public School and the creation of a new elemen-tary school in south Barrhaven as some of its top priorities.
The Steve MacLean expansion will likely start within the next two to three years said school principal Denise Poiri-er, who acknowledged the growing need for a larger public elementary school in Riverside South.
“The community is booming, and we’re already over capac-ity. We have 860 students and 11 portables,” she said, adding that at this stage she doesn’t know whether the expansion would involve an extension on the cur-rent school building or the addi-tion of more portables. She said long term planning will likely include a new public secondary school for the neighbourhood as well, which currently sends its high school students to South Carleton High School or Meri-vale High School.
While the board has not of-fi cially received funding for the projects from the Ontario gov-ernment, the new Barrhaven elementary school is likely to be built in Chapman Mills Zone 3, trustee Mark Fisher confi rmed in an email on Nov. 24. The hope is that the school will open by September 2012.
The decisions came from the
board’s Capital Plan after a boundary re-view was conducted following concerns voiced from parents about overcrowding in the area, Fisher said.
The boundary review includes all “Bar-rhaven area elementary schools to en-sure suffi cient fl exibility for a variety of accommodation options and the need to consider the implementation of the Early Learning Program,” Fisher wrote. Plans will be fi nalized in the coming weeks.

Lietrim Road may have a few new twists in its future, if a pro-posal from the Department of National Defense (DND) is suc-cessful in its bid to realign the roadway away from its Cana-dian Forces station on Lietrim between Bank Street and Haw-thorne Road.
According to DND security regulations, there needs to be a 100-metre security buffer zone between all Canadian Forces fa-cilities and non-DND property. Currently, the Canadian Forces station on Lietrim has virtually no buffer zone, and the facility’s entrance is pushed right up
against Lietrim’s north shoulder. If approved, the DND would
sign a land swap agreement with the City of Ottawa, which owns Lietrim Road. The new route would swing Lietrim south on the east side of Bank about 160 metres before meeting up with the existing road just west of Hawthorne.
The new roadway would in-clude a new 2.5 metre paved shoulder for cyclists. It would also include two access roads to the DND site, on the east and west ends of the realigned por-tion.
Frank McKinney, program manager for environmental as-sessments in the city’s planning department, said the realign-
ment shouldn’t create too much of a traffi c hassle for residents.
“The new alignment will be south of the existing road, so the new road will be constructed (without disruption to the cur-rent road) and then there will be a very quick transition,” he said. “I can’t see the disruption being more than a few days.” He said construction will likely be-gin in the fall of 2011, pending the success of the environmen-tal assessment and the time it takes to fi nalize designs.
DND is responsible for assess-ing and funding the approxi-mately $6 million project, which will not cost the city a cent in capital costs. DND has already drafted an environmental as-
sessment which is currently under review at all levels of government, according to DND communications advisor Mike Graham. The assessment will be fi nalized by early 2011. If
cleared, the project will enter the “defi nition phase”, where “design of the road realignment will be completed in coopera-tion with the City of Ottawa,” Graham said.
New route planned for Lietrim
Photo by Emma JacksonThe Canadian Forces Station (CFS) on Lietrim Road is right next to the roadway, despite the fact that the Department of National Defense (DND) requires a 100-metre security buffer zone for all CFS facilities. DND has proposed to realign Lietrim Road to the south between Bank Street and Hawthorne Road in order to comply with its own rules.

Underlying the debate over the future of Lansdowne Park is the premise that the Ottawa Rough Riders will return to the Canadian Football League in a new Lansdowne Park home.
And underlying that, in turn, is the premise that Ottawa and Valley fans will turn out in big numbers to support their team. Although the last couple of versions of Ottawa football teams would not support that premise, we can at least hope so, particularly in light of the boost in CFL interest that always accompanies the Grey Cup game.
And of course, the Rough Riders – let’s forget the Renegades, shall we? – had great success, both on the fi eld and at the box offi ce, in their best days. But we need to note that the best days were a long time ago and both the CFL and Ottawa have changed.
Both may have become too big.In its best days, the CFL won the hearts
and minds of Canadians, not to mention their dollars, not by being a big deal but by being a small one. The fans didn’t come out to see millionaire stars from the U.S. but to see people who were a part of their community, people who grew up there and people who came from elsewhere but
stayed there to live.So it was with the Ottawa Rough Rid-
ers of the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s. It was profes-sional sports on a human scale, played by people we knew who didn’t drive around in cars a whole lot bigger than ours. The recent death of Jay Roberts, a Rough Rid-ers star of the 1960s, brings that thought home. He was a guy who was born in Iowa, grew up in Tennessee, went to col-lege in Kansas, came to Ottawa to play football, stayed and become a beloved part of the city.
He was one of many Rough Riders from that era who have enriched the com-munity and continue to do so.
American or Canadian, the players of the CFL, lived in their communities year-round. Because salaries were not
high, many of them had jobs there in the off season. Most famously, Russ Jack-son taught school in Ottawa, but many others worked in local businesses, sold investments, sold insurance. You could fi nd Jay Roberts, playing pickup basket-ball around town (and very well too). You could fi nd Rough Riders in the gyms, the restaurants and sometimes in the tavern too, not surrounded by an entourage, but by ordinary folk.
It was easy to root for players like that. They were sort of like us – bigger, more athletic, but not a whole lot richer. They didn’t travel around in limousines. They didn’t fl y off to Florida as soon as the sea-son was over. It felt like they were part of the community and they were.
When the CFL changed, it was because over-ambitious owners in the ’70s began paying huge salaries to Americans with big reputations. At the same time, play-ers began to be moved around the league like so many chess pieces. It was then that the CFL ceased to be about commu-nity in many cities.
The Grey Cup excitement shows that there is still interest in the game across the country, potentially. But it is hard to escape the feeling that the CFL, to work
again in places like Ottawa, needs to fi nd a way to bring back that community identity. And it may not be too much of a stretch to say that the renovated Lans-downe Park will need that too. The busi-ness equivalent of the bloated American superstar is the mammoth multinational big box store. And, continuing our stretch, we all know what the business equivalent of the old ’Riders is, don’t we? Right: the locally owned store.
To sum up: What’s bad for the CFL is bad for Lansdowne Park, not to mention bad for Ottawa. Simple, isn’t it, when you let sound football thinking guide your city planning.

’Tis the seasonIt’s the season for a lot of
things – celebrating many faiths and cultures, spending time with loved ones, decorat-ing, baking, shopping and visiting friends. It’s a season of wish lists, eating too much turkey, and bickering with Uncle Milt for having too much eggnog.
For many though, not having enough food, warm clothing or family is a crunch at the worst of times, but the Christmas season seems to be that much harder.
It’s the time of the year that communities band together for each other. Collections of coats for little ones in the capital raised more than $160,000 this year.
According to the Christmas Exchange, there are close to 10,000 families in the region needing help this season. This is a local charity that was cre-
ated in 1915 to help struggling families left behind while the soldiers were overseas dur-ing the First World War. The Exchange serves all Ottawa residents, regardless of age, ethnicity, creed or culture.
For those who have never faced the overwhelming challenge of living on a fi xed income, it is diffi cult to appreci-ate how tough the holiday sea-son can be for other families.
People, through no fault of their own, fi nd themselves in a time of need because of a sudden work lay-off, an ill-ness, the death of the family breadwinner, or as a result of spousal abandonment leaving the children behind.
The Christmas Exchange runs two programs ¬– food assistance funded entirely by donations and proceeds from fundraising events and co-ordi-nation services funded in part
by the United Way in 2009/10.Food assistance provides ei-
ther a food hamper or redeem-able store voucher to families and individuals who are verifi -ably in need and who would not otherwise receive seasonal assistance from any other com-munity organization.
Co-ordination services are handled through a centralized web-database that collects the names of all the individuals and families referred through a network of over 300 community organizations.
Thanks to hundreds of vol-unteers, thousands of children and their families will have a little merrier holiday season this year.
If you can help a child, a senior, or a family in need this season, please reach out today. Visit www. christmas-exchange.com for details on helping your community.

We had had our new Suffolk ram Steve for one week. It was time to set him free amongst the ladies. But fi rst we had to collect all the lambs that would soon be going to market.
I got called into work Sunday afternoon but – wonder of won-ders – the farm work waited for me until I returned. After Sun-day dinner (and several glasses of full-bodied red wine), the Farmer and I headed to the barn where our fl ock was barricaded. Our intention was to sort sheep.
The ewes had to somehow be separated from the fl ock and ushered out the door, while the lambs were retained inside the barn. This proved to be no easy task. The ewes were not going willingly into that dark night. The Farmer decided to start pull-ing them by the hind leg, back-wards. He started with the larg-est ewes, stalking them as they munched hay, and then grabbing at the knobby little sticks that held up their girth. Once, twice and three times he was tossed into the hay by the biggest ewes. I couldn’t help laughing. The sheep were taking advantage of his exhaustion and slight impairment. I decided to help. I found that if you grabbed both hind legs at the same time, the sheep would simply run back-wards to help you out, sort of in a reverse wheelbarrow game. It worked quite effectively, until I started laughing and got myself off balance. Then I too got tossed into the dirt.
Finally all the ewes were out-
side and the lambs were hap-pily trapped in the barn, with a fresh load of hay and water. We went out to see Steve. I shooed the ram into the alley between the pens and helped the Farmer hold him there.
While we held Steve up against the gate with our legs, the Farm-er fastened a fresh blue cube of chalk to the ram’s halter.
“I can never remember how these things go on,” he mut-tered as he struggled to connect the clasps around Steve’s barrel chest. For the next 10 minutes we held Steve tight as we tried different buckling combina-tions with the halter. Finally we got it on him in a fashion that would not soon be undone. Steve groaned. And grunted. And belched. He was growing impa-tient of this game already.
We opened the gate and pushed him out into the neighbouring room, and toward the open barn door. Outside, it was dark. There wasn’t a yard lamp or moonlight to brighten his path. He didn’t know what was out there. I could tell he was scared.
Why we decided to turn Steve out at night, I don’t know. In hindsight, it wasn’t the great-
est idea. For the next hour, Steve tried to cozy up to the ewes who were outside the barn. They liked the smell of him but they weren’t too sure about his unique black face or his jingling collar bell. He was still running around after them when we stumbled back to the house to bed. It was 10 p.m.
The next morning, Steve was nowhere to be found. He had ob-viously tried to get back into the shelter of the barn, because the gate to the lambs’ pen was open and all of our captives had been set free. Before and after work the Farmer searched for the lost ram, listening for the jingling of his collar bell. We couldn’t imagine Steve would head for the bushes, as sheep are afraid of the dark unknown of wooded areas.
We assumed he was in the cornfi eld or down in the mead-ow, but we couldn’t fi nd him. Finally the Farmer called our neighbour, who also had sheep. Sure enough, for the past day, he had been hosting Steve. Now our Suffolk ram is back in the barn where he wants to be, and he has some new roommates. The Farmer put some ewes in there with him, and hopefully they will become better ac-quainted with each other. After a while those ewes will switch places with another lot, until the whole fl ock has visited with Steve. Hopefully by the time we let him out again, he will have grown so fond of his ladies that he will not want to leave.

Developers foot the bill for new habitatFrom NEW page 1
The road development, for which the City of Ottawa is re-sponsible, includes the widen-ing of Earl Armstrong Road, which will connect to the new Strandherd-Armstrong bridge currently under construction between Riverside South and Barrhaven.
The developers will be fi nan-cially responsible for creating the habitat site as well as moni-toring it for the next fi ve years – a new rule to replace the stan-dard three year monitoring peri-od, which Lamoureux said was sometimes too short.
“It takes a while for a habitat to stabilize, sometimes longer than three years. With the fi ve year rule, if the habitat isn’t working or something needs to be fi xed after the three year mark, the developers are still on the hook for it. They have to pay for it,” she said.
The new fi sh habitat will be created just north of the new bridge and will open up one
backwater bay to the main river and create a new embayment perfect for reproduction.
Lamoureux said the new fi sh habitat will allow more water fl ow through the area, increas-ing oxygen levels for the aquatic life and reducing algae blooms in the summer.
“There are about 30 fi sh spe-cies in the Rideau system, and every one of them could move in here. The increased oxygen and water fl ow will mean they can use it for reproduction and feeding.”
Lamoureux said there are a number of target species, but the new habitat will benefi t vir-tually all wildlife in the area.
“One of the key target spe-cies is musky, but the habitat will also be helpful for forage fi sh – those are the smaller fi sh that feed the big guys – and common game fi sh. It will also improve the habitat for amphib-ians, turtles, insects and also the small mammals who come to the shoreline to forage and feed.”
Of course, the creation of new habitat must be a careful pro-cess to protect the integrity of the landscape.
“They will be excavating out material, and shaping the bottom at different water levels. They’ll also be planting aquatic vegeta-tion and shoreline vegetation, which are all native species, of course,” Lamoureux said. “We’ll be using native grasses as well as water lilies to shade the area so it doesn’t create conditions for algae blooms.”
The construction will begin in December while the water is low and there is better access to the site.
Lamoureux said the cattail patch that will be removed is currently above the water line, so there shouldn’t be very many turtles or amphibians asleep in the muck.
“The very small mortality level from the construction is a negative, but the huge benefi ts from the new habitat will defi -nitely outweigh that loss.” Visit YourOttawaRegion.com

Public Information Session
Hunt Club Pathway Connection to the Southeast Transitway Station
In 2008, The City of Ottawa identifi ed a requirement for the construction of a new pedestrian/cycling bridge over the Airport Parkway and associated pathway connection between the Hunt Club Community to South Keys Transit Station on City owned lands. This project received EA approval from the Province of Ontario following submission of an environmental assessment study which was completed in March 2010. The City then initiated the detail design for this facility in the spring of 2010.
The Public Open House is being held on:
Tuesday, December 7th, 2010 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.Hunt Club-Riverside Community Centre3320 Paul Anka Drive, Ottawa ON
This project involves construction of a 3 metre wide multi-use pathway to link the Hunt Club community with the South Keys Transitway Station. This pathway will cross the Airport Parkway by way of a new pedestrian/cycling bridge that would span the roadway. The pathway will then cross the existing Sawmill Creek constructed wetland area and cross under the rail line adjacent to the Transitway via a new culvert underpass The pathway will then connect at-grade via a new entrance to the South Keyes station and will involve the construction of a new secondary ramp for persons with mobility diffi culties.
At this open house, members of the public will be presented with the fol-lowing information:
• Project history and background;• Review of design drawings showing the planned work• Discuss impact of construction work on adjacent properties• Discussion of concerns• Comments and suggestions; and• Next steps.
Representatives from the City of Ottawa and the consulting team will be available at the open house to discuss the project and answer any questions on any aspect of the project.
With the exception of personal information, comments will become part of the public record.

The City of Ottawa will take on $92-million in new debt to pay for articulated buses.
The city’s debenture committee ap-proved the debt to cover the cost of 226 new buses to be purchased as part of a $155.7-million deal approved in April.
Ottawa is receiving the buses at a dis-count from the company, New Flyer, after a deal to sell them to Chicago fell through.
The buses are expected to last about 15 years, and over that time, it will cost $12.8 million per year to service the debt. The buses are expected to lower the city’s costs over time because it will cost less to maintain them. Fuel costs will also be reduced.
Even coupled with the $125 million in
debt the city approved for infrastructure projects over the summer, city treasurer Marian Simulik said only fi ve per cent of the city’s revenue will go towards ser-vicing its debt, which is below council’s limit of 7.5 per cent.
CORPORATE SERVICES POSTS ALMOST $1-MILLION DEFICIT
Also last week, the city’s corporate ser-vices and economic development commit-tee heard that the city’s capital and oper-ating budget will post a $960,000 defi cit by the end of the year.
The city manager’s offi ce is $100,000 over budget, while human resources has listed a $470,000 defi cit. The largest short-fall is in information technology, which is $540,000 over budget.

The city of Ottawa will host a public consultation to discuss plans for a new multi-use path along Hunt Club Road to-wards the South Keys transit station.
The new three-metre wide pedestrian and cycling path is meant to link the Hunt Club community with South Keys. It plans to cross the Airport Parkway and the Sawmill Creek wetland, and would include a new pedestrian entrance to the South Keys transit station.
At the same time, a secondary ramp for people with mobility diffi culties would be constructed at the station.
Residents are invited to the open house on Tuesday, Dec. 7 from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Hunt Club-Riverside community centre at 3320 Paul Anka Dr. The meeting will al-low residents to review the design, discuss the proposal’s impact and put forward any concerns about the project. City of Ottawa representatives will be on hand to answer any questions. For more information resi-dents can contact project manager Jeffrey Maara at [email protected].

Ottawa, November 23, 2010
I had a grade 8 home room classmate named Chris. He was cool. He got good grades. He excelled at every sport. He was close friends with my secret “crush”.
He intimidated me in every way, and I got to know him only from a distance.
Until, one day, I learned that he would be away for a while because he had a mass growing in his brain. I was terrifi ed – if it could happen to him, it could happen to me. Thankfully, after not too long, he came back. The growth had been benign.
When we fi nally spoke, he told me his fear of having a malignant tumour, and how painful it would have been to be operated on through an opening in his skull. The thought made me wince.
It’s a technique still used for some forms of surgery. Other procedures, just as scary and invasive, permeate hospitals around the world. Pain is still part and parcel of medical treatment.
But there is hope for one day eliminating such discomfort. By using the body’s natural openings to access tumours or damaged organs, some surgeons can successfully operate through the mouths, noses, ears (and other openings perhaps too awkward to mention) of patients.
The Ottawa Hospital recently recruited just such a physician.
Dr. Amin Kassam, a neurosurgeon trained at the University of Toronto and the University of Ottawa, is a pioneer of the Expanded Endonasal Approach (EEA), which uses nostrils as portals to access tumors in the brain and skull base, rather than a surgical opening at the top of the skull.
Last month, teaming up with Ottawa Hospital ear-nose-and-throat surgeon Dr. Martin Corsten, Dr. Kassam successfully removed a tumour that had rooted itself behind the eye of patient Marion Fitzgerald, through her nostrils. Instead of the long recovery and pain management required in a traditional procedure, Marion took Tylenol with codeine to relieve a headache she had afterwards.
While there is nothing routine about EEA surgery – or other techniques that use natural openings as portals to the rest of the body – the new approach begs an important question: how did God, or nature, actually intend for our ears, noses and mouths to be used?

A bit of patience and a lot of hard work paid off for the Ot-tawa Junior Senators as they edged the Brockville Braves 3-2 at the Jim Durrell Complex on Nov. 24.
Coming on the back of solid victories in their three previous Central Tier 1 Junior “A” Hockey League outings, the Jr. Senators were led by stellar goaltending by Eddie Zdolshek to go along with two-point performances from forwards Conor Brown and Dalen Hedges.
Brown’s goal at 12:52 of the third period put Ottawa ahead, but it took brilliant break-away save from Zdolshek with less than four minutes remaining to seal the win. Brown now leads the Jr. Senators with 29 points.
“That’s four in a row for us,” said Jr. Senators head coach Mike Ruest. “The points weren’t coming (earlier in the season), but we kept working hard and now we’re being rewarded.”
Brockville came into the game with only one win in their past four games, but the No. 10 team in the Canadian Junior Hockey League rankings remains one of
the top teams in the league.“Any time you can take two
points away from Brockville is a bonus,” said Ruest. “They’ve pretty well owned us over the past two seasons. We’ve been playing them pretty well the past couple of games, so it’s defi nitely a confi dence booster.”
A fl urry of three goals midway through the fi rst period saw the game spring to life after a tenta-tive start from both teams.
Brockville opened with a goal
from defenceman Scott Dawson at 8:56 in the opening frame.
Ottawa replied a minute later on the power play. Eight seconds into the man-advantage, Hedges snapped a shot from the right fa-ceoff circle over the shoulder of Brockville goaltender William Betts to level the score a 1-1.
The Braves re-took the lead less than a minute later when Kenny Matheson scored his 15th
goal of the season.The second period saw the Jr.
Senators come under siege, with the Braves corralling the home side in their own end for long stretches and peppering Zdol-shek with 18 shots.
But Ottawa held fi rm and their defensive tenacity paid off when Derek Lowry took advantage of a rare Braves turnover to blast a shot past Betts on a 2-on-1 break-away with 7:59 left in the period.
“It’s tough to believe we won that period 1-0,” said Ruest. “It seemed like when that hap-
pened to us before, where we’d play a solid period, but make a couple of mistakes and the puck would end up in our net. That’s what happened to Brockville in the second period. One quick mistake where the defence was standing fl at-footed and we took advantage (on the breakaway). Next thing you know, we’re back in the hockey game.”
Brown’s goal put the Jr. Sena-tors up 3-2 midway through the third, but Ottawa had Zdolshek to thank for making a series of big saves as the Braves pushed for a tying goal as the clock wound down.
The Jr. Senators winning streak has seen the club jump back into the playoff race after a slow start to the season.
“I guess you could defi ne our season by the hills and valleys, so I it’s good to be on the upside now,” said Jr. Sens captain Liam Burtt.
On Nov. 26 at the Earl Arm-strong Arena, Ottawa was foiled in a shootout by the Gloucester Rangers, losing by a fi nal score of 3-2. Then in a penalty-fi lled contest against Kanata on Nov. 27, the Stallions scored three goals on the power play en route to a 5-2 win at the Jim Durrell.
The losses dropped Ottawa to 12-12-2-2 for the season ahead of their game on Dec. 1 against Cornwall at the Jim Durrell.

When Ottawa South resi-dent Jean-Yves Theriault stepped into the ring 30 years ago, it didn’t cross his mind that he could some-day become the kickboxing world champion, not just once, but 23 times in his lifetime.
But on Nov. 15, 1980, 25-year-old Theriault beat his formidable opponent Rob-ert Biggs in the fi rst round – infl icting 60 stitches with a high kick – and won the fi rst world championship of his career. Today, he is celebrating the 30th anniver-sary of the fi ght that shaped his life.
“There was a design there, a design by greater forces than me,” Theriault said. “My destiny was un-folding in front of me.”
Theriault began training at Ottawa’s Therien Jiu Jit-su and Kickboxing School when was 17, achieving a blue belt in Jiu Jitsu be-fore switching to kickbox-ing. “I was distracted for 30 years with this kickboxing thing,” he laughed, adding that he now has his black belt in Jiu Jitsu. “I pur-sued kickboxing and obvi-ously did relatively well. As I went along, I found that people really enjoyed my style of fi ghting, I drew an interest and I could win. It was a snowball affect, and it got bigger and bigger until the point of reference in the sport was me.”
From that point on, “Ice-man” was born – Theri-ault’s self proclaimed al-ternate personality, which he honed into while in the ring. “Iceman was a sort of Jekyll and Hyde thing. I’m a passive person, and I don’t like violence. I’m a competi-tive sport person, but I’m also a son to my mother, a father to my children, a brother to my siblings. This fi ghting was just one part of me.”
Theriault said he needed Iceman’s persona to sepa-rate his fi ghts from the rest of his life. “I would morph into that creature when I was preparing for the fi ght. It was a protective mecha-nism, because he would push everything else in my life away in order to focus on what was important at the moment.” It also helped him remain a winner. “Iceman
helped me detach myself from the emotional part of myself, because otherwise I’d come in second. If you see pain in your opponent’s face and back off, all of a sudden you’re on your bum and you’ve lost.” This was particularly important giv-en the tight-knit nature of the kickboxing community. “I didn’t see a human being in front of me. I couldn’t, because some of these guys had supper with me, and with my family; they held my babies. Then we would get in the ring and I would knock them out, and then they’d be back at my house for supper.”
But Theriault recognizes that his passion for kick-boxing, at which he was considered the world’s best for decades, took a toll on other parts of his life. “It got harder and harder to get out of the mindset. I wasn’t leading a completely balanced lifestyle,” he said, explaining that martial arts programs traditionally emphasize the importance of balancing the physical, emotional, spiritual and professional elements of your life. “But I was lop-sided.”
The major consequence of this unbalance, he said, was his subsequent divorce, noting that at that time of his life it would have been hard for anyone to live with him. He maintained a gru-elling schedule as world champion, fi ghting around the world in Western Eu-rope and all across the US and Canada. He also took on more and more speaking gigs, where he would teach and talk to business groups, schools and any other or-ganization that wanted to hear from the kickboxing champion. The National Film Board made a movie about him in the early 1980s, and he published several instructional books and tapes. He was also busy teaching his craft.
He came to realize, how-ever, that his most cher-ished projects stem from helping others. “As a fi ghter you entertain the masses, but it’s a selfi sh game: I do this for me. But the re-sponsibility of a champion title, you suddenly become very aware that you have a great vehicle.” And he’s put some mileage on it: to this day, Theriault is incredibly
involved in his community, working with a multitude of charities. He has volun-teered with the Heart and Stroke Foundation, the RCMP’s drug awareness program, Big Brothers, and the Children’s Wish Foundation, where he was the honourary president for fundraising. It was a parent’s story of their little boy’s struggle with leuke-mia which really inspired him to continue his charity work, he said.
“People say I’m brave, but parents and kids that deal with that, this is what cour-age is about,” he said, ex-plaining that moment was a turning point for him. “I realized this was something that was essential for me to continue.”
In between his good works, he also teaches at the hand-ful of Therien martial arts franchises around the city, having stayed close friends with founder John Therien since he fi rst started train-ing in 1972. Theriault said he believes strongly in the value of martial arts train-ing for kids.
“They’re going into something with structure, something that teaches discipline, honour, integ-rity – all the values that parents are looking to pass
on to their kids. These are what I recognize to be im-portant to raise productive adults, people that are well-rounded and understand the difference between good and bad,” he said. He emphasized the difference between traditional martial arts and the increasingly popular ‘mixed martial arts’ (MMA), which he doesn’t feel properly follow the dis-ciplined mindset of the tra-ditional arts. “Martial arts is a structured, militarized sport. MMA is in and of it-self all over the map. It’s not a specialty in striking like boxing, it’s not specialty in self defense like Jiu Jitsu,” he explained. “I can almost guarantee if I were to sit with a parent watching the UFC fi ght on TV, where one is sprawled out and being pummeled, I would ask that mother, ‘Would you like your child to do this?’ and they would say no.”
Although Theriault has been a retired fi ghter for 15 years, he said he’s just get-ting started as a teacher and a member of his communi-ty. “I feel I have much, much more to contribute. And if it’s one person at a time on a mat in a gym teaching someone how to stay fi t and avoid disease, that’s my lot and I like it.”

Four hundred children from across the Ottawa region will soon be lacing up new skates at outdoor rinks across the city.
The Sens Foundation, along with the City of Ottawa and Canadian Tire Jump-start, announced the launch of the I Love To Skate program at Scotiabank Place on Saturday, Nov. 27.
The initiative will provide fi nancially disadvantaged children the opportunity to learn how to skate with qualifi ed in-structors.
“We just take skating for granted up here in Canada. A lot of kids can’t af-ford skates,” said Senators owner Eugene Melnyk. “This isn’t just about brand new skates, it’s about creating memories.”
Participating children will get vouch-ers for free hockey skates, sticks and pads.
“That’s what communities are about,” said Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri. “Look-ing after each other, looking after future generations.”
I Love To Skate will begin in mid-Janu-ary and last for four weeks. Children are chosen by the city through an application process.
“Being Canadian and skating go hand in hand and every child deserves the op-portunity to learn,” said Qadri.

He didn’t take offi ce until Dec. 1, but last week, new Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson’s stamp was seen on a model for reform at city hall, including a call for an independent commission to oversee OC Transpo.
The city’s 2010-2014 Governance Review also proposes splitting the planning and environment committee into two bodies, and combining the audit, budget and fi nance committee with the cor-porate services committee. That new committee would be called fi nance and economic develop-ment – aligning with Watson’s campaign promises to put fi nances and economic development at the forefront.
The report, which comes from the city clerk’s offi ce, also recommends the appointment of an integrity commissioner, and the establishment of a registry to track gifts and lobbyists, as well as an array of other accountability measures, in-cluding posting expenses on the city’s website on a monthly basis.
In a memo sent along with the report, Watson states: “We should be looking at how technology and social networking can enhance policy mak-ing, and how we can best involve citizens in policy development.”
That review will include examining how the city’s governance model is working 10 years after amalgamation and how to “enhance truly local de-cision making.”
Another change would be to the deputy mayor’s role. Currently, deputy mayors are appointed on a rotating schedule, but the report suggests appoint-ing two permanent deputy mayors.

OTTAWA THIS WEEK STAFF
New Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson was already busy solidifying his reputation as a fi scal conservative last week.
The city’s bureaucracy will be under a spending and hiring freeze until council passes the 2011 bud-get in the spring, according to a memo sent by city manager Kent Kirkpatrick to councillors on Nov. 26.
“This decision is as a result of discussions be-tween myself and the Mayor-elect wherein we agreed on the need to create as much fi nancial fl ex-ibility as possible and achieve as much of a fi nan-cial surplus to year end as we can,” Kirkpatrick wrote in the memo.
“Fiscal restraint” was one of the key planks in Watson’s election platform. During the campaign, he promised to “take immediate action to trim city budgets.”
That promise was in response to the city’s 14 per cent tax increase over the past three years, break-ing former mayor Larry O’Brien’s famous “zero means zero” tax increase assurance made during the 2006 campaign.

Spending and hiring stalled until next budget
It is unclear how the two councillors appointed to that role would be chosen.
The governance review, which was prepared with input from the 2006-10 council, as well as committee chairs, will be the fi rst item on the agenda at the new council’s fi rst meeting on Dec. 8 at 10 a.m.
Councillors will also be surveyed about which commit-tees they want to serve on, and the results will be reviewed by the nominating committee at a meeting on Dec. 15.
Although she has retired from politics, former Kanata South councillor Peggy Feltmate has been asked to join the board of Ottawa Community Housing.

LAURA MUELLER
With an unprecedented $401 million in infrastructure projects already under-way, the City of Ottawa is adding another $8.5 million worth of projects to the list.
But some councillors aren’t happy, saying the city should have been able to get more funding. Ottawa was allowed to apply for up to $30 million in additional projects, and the value of the work the city actually applied for was $20 million – the projects city staff believed could be completed by the March 31, 2011 dead-line.
In the end, the provincial and federal governments decided to give the city an extra $8 million worth of projects.
“How much money did we leave on the table?” Somerset Coun. Diane Hol-mes asked during a council meeting last week.
Earlier in the week, Wayne Newell, the city’s manager of infrastructure services, alluded to the answer during a briefi ng for city staff, councillors and the media.
Responding to a question from Bar-rhaven Coun. Jan Harder, Newell said the city didn’t expect such a long delay by the federal government to confi rm whether the city was to receive the fund-ing. Ottawa applied last August and was told it would have an answer back in two
or three weeks. That answer didn’t come until last week.
“We had to make some adjustments,” Newell said.
Still, the $8 million in extra projects will make a difference to communities, Newell said.
The largest project is a $3.8 million ef-
fort to re-line sewers in west Nepean.The Vernon library branch in the city’s
south end will get an entrance ramp for $150,000, while the Ruth E. Dickinson Li-brary in Barrhaven will be renovated for $550,000.
There will be some upgrades to city arenas. Dulude Arena in Carlington (($100,000) and the Manotick Arena and the Tom Brown Arena in Hintonburg ($170,000 each) will all get alternate gen-der change rooms.
The city will only put up $5.2 million of the $8.5 million needed for the projects, because the rest of the funding comes from the federal and provincial govern-ments. The city’s portion will be funded using development charges, and will not put additional pressure on next year’s budget, city staff said.
OTTAWA AHEAD OF THE GAME
With only two per cent of construction work predicted to be incomplete by the time the March 31, 2011 deadline hits, Ot-tawa is faring better than many of its ur-ban counterparts. Most cities will have eight or nine per cent of projects incom-plete, according to Newell.
That two per cent represents $8 mil-lion in costs the city may have to pay out-right, without help from the federal and provincial governments.

City adds new infrastructure projects worth $8.35M
Photo by Laura MuellerConstruction on Hazeldean Road in Kanata is expected to go over the March 31, 2011 funding deadline, due to weather delays that set back construction on a bridge over the Carp River. The $65-million Hazeldean project is the province’s largest infrastructure project.

The projects must be done by March 31 for municipalities to re-ceive one third of the funding from both the federal and provincial gov-ernments. The infrastructure stim-ulus fund was launched in 2009 in order to kick-start the economy.
Not only that, but the city is es-timating the projects will only cost them $365 total, $36 million under budget.
The projects that are anticipated to go over the deadline are Terry Fox Drive and Hazeldean Road, a $65 mil-lion project that includes a bridge over the Carp River, the largest in-frastructure project in the province.
Rain really hampered some of the weather sensitive projects, Newell said. In September alone, 22 of the 30 days saw rainfall.
The city has applied to the upper levels of government to ask for ex-tensions for those two projects.

ECONOMIC STIMULUS
The infrastructure projects were meant to give the faltering economy a jolt, and city staff predicted last
year that Ottawa’s projects alone would lead to the creation of 7,300 jobs.
Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches wanted to know how many jobs were actually creat-ed, but city staff said it would be too diffi cult to pin down a number, add-ing that job creation was “on track” with estimates.
John DeVries, president of the Ot-tawa Construction Association, said the industry is pleased with the sta-tus of the projects and the infl ux of funds.
“Everything is defi nitely moving great now and there might be some problems come the deadline,” he wrote in an email.
“But pretty small in comparison to the entire pot of funds.”
He said the industry is expecting a slump in construction work next year to compensate for the deluge of money spent on infrastructure projects.
Ottawa will reduce its capital works budget by $133 million over three years (until 2012).
Michael Fitzpatrick, the city’s media relations manager, said “in theory,” no projects will be delayed in the coming years, as most of the stimulus projects done this year were fast-tracked and would have been completed in the coming years anyway.

The Capital Region will soon be the fi rst area in Canada to have bike routes integrated into Google Maps.
Ottawa will be the fi rst of nine cities (including Gatineau, Toronto, Edmonton, Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg, Kelowna and Waterloo) to include bike-trail data and cycling routes into the direction fi nd-er on Google Maps (maps.google.com).
The tool allows people to search for directions using a several types of transportation, including driving, walking and public transit.
The new cycling feature will use colour-coded roads to indicate their suitability for biking.
Dark green will be used to show dedicated bike-only trails; lighter green will indicate a dedicated bike lane along a road; and a dotted green line will show roads that do not have bike lanes but tend to be suitable for biking.
The new route-planner will be rolled out in the com-ing week.

Council chambers was fi lled with pomp and circumstance – and a few touching moments – during the fi nal meeting of the old council’s term on Nov. 24.
With 10 councillors heading out the door – some retiring, some ousted from their seats – the meeting was a chance for staff and council to express their thanks, and for the outgo-ing councillors to say goodbye.
Mayor Larry O’Brien was honoured last, and started his
speech by lauding the profes-sionalism of city staff, before admitting he was “a bit of a nov-ice” when he was elected.
“Quite frankly, sometimes in the early days I thought there were a bunch of clowns here,” he said, referring to members of council.
“I realized very quickly when I got in there that those clown shoes have very big shoes to fi ll.”
He thanked his fellow council-lors for their patience during his transition, and added that expe-rience in the business world did
not prepare him for working as an elected offi cial.
“None of the skills you learn as a CEO are applicable to the public service,” he said.
While he said “change isn’t al-ways comfortable,” O’Brien said he is proud of the debate, argu-ment and change the city under-took under his leadership.
O’Brien was given a piece of art depicting the city’s logo made up of a collage of photos of Ottawa created by city pho-tographer Roger Lalonde and the city’s graphics department.
Each outgoing councillor received a framed image from their ward as a parting gift.
The new council was sworn in on Dec. 1.

It wouldn’t be an overstatement to say the Ottawa Fury under-17 girls’ soc-cer team produced the national capital’s biggest accomplishment in youth soccer history last week when it captured the region’s fi rst-ever Super-Y League cham-pionship in Tampa, Fla.
“To win something of this magnitude is really big not just for our club, but for the entire city,” Fury coach Jimmy Zito says. “The whole season was great. It just got better and better. There was no down part, nothing that really held us back – it was great the entire time.”
The U17 Fury girls likely represent the greatest collection of talent ever as-sembled on a single Ottawa team. With a roster chock full of national champions with Team Ontario – and even an inter-national CONCACAF champ – the Car-leton University-based soccer stars from across the city now own a North Ameri-can title as well, thanks to their unde-feated run at the United Soccer Leagues fi nals Nov. 19-23.
On the heels of an 8-0 season in the New England conference, the Fury won a pair of games and tied another two in prelimi-nary-round play before claiming shutout victories over Cleveland (2-0 in the semi-fi nals) and London (3-0 in the champion-ship game) to clinch the crown.
In the playoff round, Breanna Burton and Marissa Duguay scored for Ottawa,
while tournament MVP Lauren Hughes counted three of her six goals overall. Abbey Lindblad, Alex Skeggs, Melissa Erturk, Laura Callender and goalkeep-er Rachelle Beanlands also had MVP-calibre performances, Zito notes, as his team allowed just two goals in fi ve games against their top continental opponents.
“I had a back-four that was just air-tight,” Zito adds. “I had two goalkeepers that conceded two goals the entire tour-nament. Defence wins championships – that’s no secret to anyone.”
The triumph meant that much more to Zito since he lost a Super-Y league fi nal by a single goal with another U17 Fury team a few years ago. It was the fi rst USL title for the club, whose W-League team has been to the professional women’s league fi nal-four on numerous occasions, but never won the big prize.
A few other Fury squads illustrated just how diffi cult it can be to win it all – both the U16 and U14 Fury boys teams didn’t lose in the preliminary round, but missed out on the playoff round nonetheless due to ties. The U15 and U17 boys, along with the U15 girls, also competed at the league fi nals in Florida, which meant the Fury U17 girls had a big Ottawa booster section for the championship game.
“They were cheering and hooting and hollering the whole time. It’s a really big thing for the club,” describes Zito, who hopes the title will lead to more for the Fury in the future. “The kids see that it is a possibility now, it’s not a pipe dream, so
hopefully this is the fi rst of many.”The match was the last time many of
the Fury players will suit up together on the same team, with as many as eight bound for the NCAA next season on full athletic scholarships. Zito explains that’s the major reward for years and years of hard work by the girls, but the fi nal mem-ory they’ll have from their Fury youth
days will certainly be a lasting one.“When the whistle went, the girls went
absolutely nuts. I was shaking,” Zito re-calls. “That’s the biggest goal I’ve had with the Fury since I began six years ago. For it to come true, and for my own-er John Pugh to give me this opportunity, I’m still over the moon, living in la-la land right now.”

David Usher will be putting a new twist on some old favourites and is even dab-bling with the French language.
Fans will get a chance to hear his new sound at an intimate concert at the Shen-kman Arts Centre on Dec. 8
Usher fi rst hit the Canadian rock scene in the early 1990s with a group of friends from University. The band, Moist, released its fi rst album in 1994 and con-tinued to work together until Usher went solo in 1998.
He has released seven albums to date as a solo artist. His latest album, The Mile End Sessions, came out this past Septem-ber. The album offers a new take on some old favourites.
“I am really happy with the way the songs turned out,” Usher said, although revamping of the songs took longer than he initially thought it would.
“Some things take time to fi nd the right sound and you want it to be the best it can be,” he continued.
The new album also offers a French song, one which has already peaked to the top 10 radio list in Quebec. Co-written by Marie-Mai St. Gelais, the song gave Usher a chance to sing in French and work with a great friend.
“You want to work with people you trust…. and Marie-Mai is amazing,” Ush-er said.
The concert will offer an intimate set-ting for fans, with breaks between the songs and a set list which will change, depending on what Usher and his band-mates think is right.
“We are having a great time,” he said. “Playing like this is new to us and we are really enjoying seeing how things come together.”
Usher’s tour has him playing in small venues in Ontario and Quebec starting in Toronto on Dec. 3.

NEVIL HUNT
Outgoing city Coun. Glenn Brooks raised a niggling issue at his fi nal ag-ricultural and rural affairs committee meeting on Nov. 18 in Kinburn.
Brooks said a bylaw offi cer told a rural resident they cannot park their car on their lawn.
“This bylaw says I cannot park my own car under my own tree in the heat of sum-mer,” he said, adding the bylaw shouldn’t apply in the city’s rural areas, “especially outside the villages.”
The rest of the committee agreed to a
motion to have city staff review the by-law for city council’s consideration.
The committee is chaired by Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson, who before the meeting thanked Brooks and two other outgoing councillors – Gord Hunter and Rob Jellett – for their service.
“Glenn, you have been a tremendous advocate for rural residents,” Thompson said, “and I’ve enjoyed working with you for more than three decades.”
Thompson joked that two incoming committee members – councillors-elect Scott Moffatt and Stephen Blais – are much younger than him, with their com-bined ages less than Thompson’s age.
Photo suppliedDavid Usher gets set to play an intimate concert this coming month at Shenkman Arts Centre. Usher released a new album this fall with a twist – a song in French. In just four weeks, the song, Je repars broke into radio top 10 in Quebec

When in doubt, don’t throw it outOur homes are fi lled with many municipal hazardous
or special waste (MHSW) materials that need extra care
when they’ve reached the end of their useful lives —
things like paints, batteries and pharmaceuticals.
Throwing them in the garbage or pouring them
down the drain can be dangerous to our families
and our environment.
That’s why we’re encouraging Ontarians to follow
the BUD rule:
Buy only what you need
Use it all up
Drop off the rest and we’ll recycle, reprocess
or safely dispose of it
These materials can be taken to local Orange Drop
collection events, municipal recycling depots or
retail drop zones.

Margaret Dickenson’s
HOLIDAY SURVIVAL TIPS
Here is my perfect formula to make the occasion undisputedly simple and doable for you while mesmerizing your guests!
Serve all these items and in the order outlined:
1. Hors d’oeuvres (Th e variety and quantity will vary with the event. At least one hors d’oeuvre should be hot.)
2. A Canapé Soup (puréed; hot or cold)
3. A Taster Dessert (holiday baking, small portions of favourite desserts, fruit combinations)
4. Chocolates
Don’t make it complicated! Indeed, everything does not
need to be homemade. Do what suits you!
Mission accomplished! Bravo! Guests will appreciate a series of exciting tastes, and be thrilled with your creative culinary repertoire. Th ey will also go home feeling as if they had a complete meal.
PS: Don’t miss the free Bonus Points! Interesting presentations defi nitely heighten the “WOW” factor! For example, serving small tastes on oriental porcelain spoons, forks or chopsticks, in saké cups, shot glasses or in boxes, adds pizzazz to any occasion.
From our table to yours. Bon Appétit!
