A developer is eyeing the Meri-vale triangle for a retail or condo project.
The Merivale triangle is a plot of land which is bordered by Merivale and Baseline roads and Clyde Avenue.
College Coun. Rick Chiarelli said Osmington Inc. – a real estate development fi rm out of Toronto – approached the community, Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli and himself mid-November to talk about a possible retail de-velopment on the site.
Chiarelli said the community – represented by associations from Cityview, Fisher Heights and Co-peland Park have some concerns about the traffi c that would be generated by another retail devel-opment on that site.

Sheila Copps drops in to Grade 5 class
NEVIL HUNT
A Grade 5 student at Knox-dale Public School turned her grandma into a unique show-
and-tell lesson for her peers on Nov. 25.
As part of the curriculum fo-cusing on government, Sarah introduced a former federal minister to about 80 of her class-mates in the school’s library.
“I know Sheila Copps as my grandmother,” Sarah said. “She taught me how to stand on my head.”
She also ran through part of her grandmother’s resume: Canada’s fi rst female deputy prime minister, and a former minister of the Environment, and later Heritage Canada. To-day Copps is running for the presidency of the federal Lib-eral party.

Condos possible for triangleContinued from front
Osmington owns almost no land that fronts on the major roads and instead holds much of the triangle’s interior space.
“With the Wal-Mart just coming in, they didn’t think it would work,” Chi-arelli said. “The residents have asked the developer to come back with a feasibility study to put condos on that site.”
Chiarelli said the developer has agreed to come back to the community with an-other plan.
“At least with a condo complex, the traf-fi c patterns would be different than the Wal-Mart,” he said.
The Wal-Mart, at the corner of Base-line Road and Clyde Avenue opened in January and was designed to be a mixed-use project that will include residential units, along with the big box store and other retailers.
While Chiarelli said another retail de-velopment close by is possible, Osming-ton would have to convince some of the stores that have frontage on Baseline, Merivale or Clyde to sell them land.
Polar dip to raise money for kidsJENNIFER MCINTOSH
Steve Stewart, possibly better known in Ottawa as “Speedo Steve” is once again asking residents to take the plunge and raise money to fi ght children’s cancers. In total, nearly 300 chillers lined up two by two last Jan. 1 to jump down to a hole about three metres wide cut into the Ottawa River.
The veteran dipper and Loblaw’s employee organized the fi rst dip for the President Choice Children’s Charities in 2008, where he and 45 oth-ers turned out and raised $3,800 for the charity.
Last year he teamed up with Sears to organize the fi rst Sears Great Canadian Chill. Two events in Otta-wa and Toronto managed to raise more than $20,000 for the Sears Charitable
Foundation, which aims to Stop Kids’ Cancer Cold. Another 100 dippers were raising money for the Pres-idents Choice Children’s Charity.
Stewart hopes for more brave souls this year.
Interested swimmers can register at ottawa.thesears-greatcanadianchill.ca/?id=15 and collect pledges. Prizes will be awarded for the people with the highest amount of pledges.

Political ‘parties’ formed by Knoxdale studentsContinued from front
Copps quickly turned the of-ten dry subject of government into a raucous convention-style experience.
She asked the students what they would change if they were principal of their school. She picked fi ve hands from the sea of raised limbs and asked the children to share their ideas, which included:• More or longer recesses.• New lockers.• A cafeteria.• New chairs with wheels.
Students then gathered into fi ve groups based on the concept they preferred and each “party” selected a leader. Leaders then tried to sway the audience with a short speech, a rebuttal and a question-and-answer session.
As the room broke into groups to elect leaders, Copps said she’d tried a similar idea with students before but never in a space where kids could move around so freely.
She added that at one school, free candy was outvoted by bet-ter playground equipment when one party argued that the candy
would be gone quickly, while a playstructure can be enjoyed for years. Copps said it came down to short-term versus long-term thinking.
“It’s amazing how much the kids are like voters,” she said.
The speeches and questions provided a chance to explain co-alitions and mergers – the two recess parties voted to form a coalition – and then came the vote, with new lockers carrying the day.
Copps told the students that in Parliament, the party elected would have to keep voters hap-py if they hope to be re-elected. Speaking for all MPs, she said promises are sometimes bro-ken, in part because platforms include too many pledges. She also pointed out that voters sometimes choose immediate benefi ts instead of long-term gains.
“You can ask, ‘What’s impor-tant right now for me,’ or you can ask, ‘What’s important for the long-term for the school,’” she said.
With the “election” settled, Copps took some questions from the students, a number of
which related to her decision to enter politics. Copps said she followed her father during his election campaigns for mayor in Hamilton, starting when she was just eight years old.
“I learned very young the im-portance of debate,” she said, adding that meeting people – from a bus driver to the Queen – is what she likes to do most.
Copps said the ministerial ac-complishment she’s most proud of is a law that restricts develop-ment in national parks, particu-larly the park in Banff, Alta.
Copps will be back in the po-litical spotlight as she runs for the party presidency at the Lib-eral biennial convention, which takes place between Jan. 13 and 15 at the Ottawa Convention Centre.
Former MP Sheila Copps speaks to a Grade 5 class at Knoxdale Public School on Nov. 25. Copps, who is running for the fed-eral Liberal party’s presidency, skipped any lecturing and quick-ly got the students involved in a mock election.

Community associations, advocacy groups and average citizens are some of the people who would have to register as “lobbyists” under proposed sweeping rules.
In the draft version of the city’s new lobbyist registry, the only people who would be exempt from having to register as a lobbyist would be offi cials from other levels of government, or from other mu-nicipalities.
The city’s new governance renewal subcommittee heard a report on the pro-posed registry during its fi rst meeting on Nov. 18, but the committee won’t actually consider whether to approve the proposal until its Dec. 1 meeting.
If the city goes ahead with the initia-tive, Ottawa would be only the second Canadian municipality to set up a formal framework for reporting lobbying. To-ronto is the only city that has something similar.
The registry is the fi rst of a series of initiatives Mayor Jim Watson promised during the election as a means to bring more “accountability and transparency” to city government.
The lobbyist registry would be a “very important cultural change” at city hall, said deputy city clerk Leslie Donnelly.
“You can’t stop bad things from hap-pening,” Donnelly said. “But you can tell
people who is infl uencing decisions.”The registry would require city council
members, paid lobbyists and unpaid advo-cates to register all lobbying activities.
Whether it’s a lobbyist paid to advocate in favour of a planned development, or a resident who wants a stop sign on his or her street, they would be seen as lobby-ists under the registry (although it would distinguish between traditional lobbyists and community members).
The proposed changes threw some councillors for a loop.
Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt worried that some of his rural residents require his help when requesting land severances, and having to register as a lobbyist in order to do that would be an additional hindrance.
One major potential loophole to the registry was revealed during the Nov. 18 meeting.
If a council member is the one to initi-ate a conversation, it wouldn’t be consid-ered lobbying under the proposed guide-lines, Donnelley said.
That was in response to Cumber-land Coun. Stephen Blais, who asked if it would be considered lobbying if he phoned a developer to ask him to build a 20-storey building instead of 12 storeys.“Ultimately, there will be 100 ways to get around the rule,” said Watson, who heads the governance renewal subcommittee.
“It’s about accountability. When in doubt – register,” the mayor added.

Nepean, Rideau and Osgoode Commu-nity Resource Centre (NROCRC) staff helped to outfi t 284 children in their catchement with the tools for school this year, according to the program co-ordi-nator Kim Ethier.
The total was announced at an annual thank you breakfast held for the pro-gram’s supporters at NROCRC’s Meri-vale Mall offi ce on Nov. 25.
The resource centre also donated 50 empty backpacks to Nepean Housing. The program’s total cost was $7,100, in-cluding the cost of the supplies, staffi ng and empty backpacks. NROCRC fi rst partnered with the Child and Youth Friendly Ottawa initiative in 2008 – fi eld-ing requests for 40 backpacks.
Since that fi rst year, demand has steadily increased, prompting calls to the school boards to provide the necessi-ties to every child.
“If we can get the school boards to pro-vide things like the pencils, the paper and the notebooks, it allows us to focus on getting the more specialized items, like: geometry sets, inside shoes and backpacks,” said Brad Spooner, a pro-gram manager at the centre.
Spooner said the success of the pro-gram is due to local residents and busi-nesses that turned out in support of the program.
“LSI Systems donated 130 backpacks
alone,” Spooner said while handing out plaques.
Jacob Noble, a student at Franco-Cité Catholic Secondary School volunteered his time to help out, along with Nicole Ethier and Lil Laviolette.
A fundraising barbecue held at the mall in August also helped to raise $600 for the program.
Ethier said that the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board did a study that found 146 students were prepared for school thanks to NROCRC’s work.
“Every single child we helped got a backpack fi lled with everything on their class list,” she said.

Matthew Pedersen’s house is more than just a house.
It’s home to his wife and new-born daughter. It’s a showroom for his business. It’s a challenge to himself, and the world.
His family’s goal is to make it carbon-neutral.
By creating as much energy as it uses, a carbon-neutral home would remove the need for tra-ditional energy sources and the emissions that come with them.
“I’ve taken a 45-year-old di-lapidated home that was leaky and ineffi cient, run on oil, and I renovated it and upgraded it and added all this technology,” Peder-sen said.
Top of that list of technology, he said, was a geothermal heat-ing and cooling system.
The system, he said, uses un-derground temperatures to regu-late the household climate, and it has got all the neighbours knock-ing, wanting to check it out.
Pedersen, whose company de-signs and installs these systems, is happy to oblige.
Serving Eastern Ontario since 2007, Geothermal Experts makes systems that take advantage of the moderate temperatures un-derground: in summer, it’s cool-er below ground; in winter, it’s warmer.
Pedersen recently accepted the Green Award from the Greater Nepean Chamber of Commerce on behalf of Geothermal Experts Inc., of which he is owner and general manager.
They drill holes almost 60 meters deep, and pump liquids – either coolant or water from an underground source – in a con-tinuous loop through the house-hold system.
“Fifteen years ago, the hippies were buying (geothermal sys-tems) because it was green,” Ped-ersen said.
“Today people are buying it be-cause it’s a good return on their investment.”
Depending on how much a home originally cost to heat, he said, installing a geothermal sys-tem could mean a 10 to 18 per cent return on investment for the ho-meowner. Within fi ve to 10 years, the system should pay for itself.
The systems are safer, too, he said. They run on electricity, at low temperatures and low pres-sure. There’s no risk of it explod-ing like a propane tank, he said, or leaking, like an oil tank.
But for Pedersen, the most im-portant selling point is what they don’t do: contribute to global

warming. The systems require no fossil fuels at any stage,
so they release no emissions.“The thing that makes me most angry in the
world is seeing oil spills in the ocean,” he said.Fossil fuels are what our society relies most
upon to heat our homes and run our transporta-tion, he said. Yet these fuels are dangerous from the moment they’re pulled from the ground.
Our lifestyle is destructive, he said, and Peder-sen wants to be leading the charge to change it.
“Believe it or not, I live over by Bayshore, and half the neighbourhood is still on oil,” he said.
Hand-in-hand with changing our sources of en-ergy is changing how much energy we use.
In his family’s quest for carbon-neutrality, Ped-ersen is looking to LED light bulbs, high-effi ciency appliances, and even clotheslines.
Before long, he said, we will be able to turn our homes into their very own energy sources. It’s with that in mind that he’s looking forward to starting his third company in the new year: Solar Experts Inc.
“Today on the average roof space, we almost can produce enough energy to run the average house-hold,” he said.
And, with a little time and tweaking, rooftop solar panels will be able to power both our homes and the electric cars we plug into them.
“We’ve got scientists working on how we can re-verse global warming … which could involve put-ting chemicals into the atmosphere to refl ect the sunlight,” Pedersen said.
“What? I’ve got an idea. Why don’t we just stop producing heat?”

Ottawa’s Blues Lady has talk-ed and sung to many kids about bullying over the last fi ve years, but on Saturday night, it will be all about the adults.
Maria Hawkins and her band play the Nepean Sportsplex sa-
lons on Dec. 3, from 7 to 11 p.m., along with Latin Breeze. The night is a fundraiser for the Stop the Bullying campaign.
“We need to get the parents in-volved,” Hawkins said.
The Fighting for our Dignity concert is part of the celebra-tion of the International Day for Persons with Disabilities.
Hawkins hopes the performance will provide the seed money to hold a Family Fun! Day in each ward in the city.
“They would be free events with each (city) councillor hold-ing one in their ward,” she said.
During a recent presentation to the city’s equity and diversity committee, Hawkins suggested
a family event such as a fun day is a way to get the anti-bullying message to both parents and children.
Tickets for the concert are $10 or two for $15. The Nepean Sportsplex is located at 1701 Woodroffe Ave. For information, visit www.stopthebullying.ca or call 613-292-1283.

A retired guy’s life needs some excitement now and then, which is why I decided to take a ride on a city bus. The bus has
been the main topic of conversation in the newspapers and on the radio and TV. If you were looking for drama, the bus was the place to fi nd it.
When I worked downtown, I used to take the bus all the time. This was a few years ago, before there started to be drama and tension on the bus. The way I remember it, I got on the bus in the morning, usually got a seat after the high school kids got off, read the paper for awhile, got off at my stop and walked the rest of the way to work.
It was decidedly lacking in drama. The bus drivers were nice, although none of them sang. The passengers behaved themselves. Occasionally some-one would have his headphones turned up too high so that a tinny whine leaked out. But that was it.
I fi gured the real drama was happen-ing in the cars, from what I heard from my colleagues who drove to work. They had tales of delays, traffi c jams, crazy drivers on the Queensway, road rage and such. My time on the bus couldn’t com-
pete with that. Nothing much happened.The same thing going home. I might
have to wait a bit, but that wasn’t too dramatic. I might have to stand for awhile, but there were worse things in life. The bus might take half an hour instead of 20 minutes if the traffi c was bad but I had a book to read. The thing I liked best was that I arrived home in a decent frame of mind, unlike the car drivers, who had those veins in their necks bulging from trying to keep from screaming.
Obviously, from reading all the re-ports, times had changed. The bus had become a combination of Blackboard Jungle and Saturday at the Opera. I had to see it.
But something went horribly wrong.
First, the bus arrived on time, which wasn’t supposed to happen. Then the bus driver was friendly. Then there were no unruly passengers on board. Then the bus driver didn’t sing. Nor did he talk on a cell phone. It was too quiet, as they say in the movies, just before it gets noisy.
Quiet was OK once I got used to it. I had a book to read. The bus hopped onto the Transitway and got downtown in a hurry. Getting across downtown was another matter, but nobody on the bus seemed to be impatient about it. No passengers yelled at the driver or vice versa.
The bus got to the Rideau Centre and I got off, thinking: “That was weird.”
Well, maybe there would be some drama on the ride back. I had lunch downtown, did a little browsing for this and that and then went to wait with lots of other people for the bus. Several pulled up, none of them mine, which was OK because I wanted to see if any drivers would walk off and refuse to go any farther. None did.
Hmmm. Soon my bus arrived. I got on. The driver was friendly. I got a place to sit and read my book. The passengers minded their own business. The auto-
mated announcing of the stops went well. The driver didn’t sing, nor did the passengers. I looked around for vigilan-tes with cell phone cameras but didn’t see any.
Fortunately there was a fair amount of drama in the book I was reading because there wasn’t any on the bus. It didn’t arrive late, as far as I can tell. The passengers got off without insulting the driver.
What to make of this experience? Maybe it was atypical. Or maybe it wasn’t. Just to make sure, I think I’ll try again. Even without drama, it sure beats paying for parking.

In a bid to increase transparency at city hall, one worries if Ottawa will actually end up stifl ing democracy.
A proposed lobbyist registry is ruffl ing some feathers at city hall, but perhaps com-munity advocates should be the ones with their guard up.
This shouldn’t be the reaction to a policy meant to tell us who is infl uencing decisions at city hall, but in trying to come up with a compre-hensive way to track who is lobbying political decision makers, the city is on its way to crafting a draconian version of a lobbyist registry that could discourage regular citizens from calling up their councillor about a neighbourhood issue.
The registry would distinguish between differ-ent types of lobbyists, paid and unpaid, but all would be required to list their names. Council-lors would have to record each contact with those designated as lobbyists, whether it’s a casual curbside conversation about snowplowing or a business lunch about an upcoming development application.
That distinction makes Ottawa’s proposed registry “the most sweeping in the country”
according to the Lobbying Law Bulletin. “It is no exaggeration to say that, if adopted in its current form, the bylaw would alter the role of citizen engagement and neighbourhood activism in Ottawa’s democratic, political process,” writes Guy Giorno, whose study on the topic is cited in the City of Ottawa report recommending the lobbyist registry.
In other jurisdictions, “lobbying” is defi ned as a paid relationship. Not so in Ottawa, if this registry is adopted.
In a move that’s “radically different” from any other jurisdiction, Giorno writes, volunteers working on behalf of non-profi t organizations and community groups would also be considered lobbyists.
While communities should be celebrating a victory in government openness, they may in-stead be fi nding ways to cope with the additional complexities of revealing how often they speak to their councillor, and about which topics.
Mayor Jim Watson has the right idea: Trans-parency should be paramount. But not at the expense of engaged, grassroots community members.
Good intentions, bad result

SECOND IN A THREE-PART SERIES
BY DON CAMPBELL, THANA DHARMARAJAH
NEVIL HUNT AND LAURA MUELLER
Garbage in Ontario is a mess.Durham and York are build-
ing a controversial incinerator to burn 140,000 tonnes of gar-bage a year.
On Nov. 7, the provincial Min-istry of the Environment gave the go-ahead for Orgaworld — the facility that processes Ottawa’s organic waste — to accept diapers, dog waste and compostable plastic bags but the City of Ottawa has yet to give the green light.
Simcoe County — a communi-ty that attracts vacationers and retirees — faces a dire situation with less than six years of life left for three of its four landfi lls.
Communities are fl ailing as they try to manage waste within their own borders. Some are al-ready sending garbage out of town. Some are still working on setting waste diversion targets. Others are revising them. And some like the Region of Water-loo don’t have waste diversion targets at all.
At least six communities sur-veyed by Metroland (for this Special Report on provincewide Trash Troubles) have landfi lls that will run out of space within 10 years. The mountains of trash that Ontarians are throwing into the garbage instead of their blue boxes are forcing other commu-nities to try to fi nd more space in their already bulging landfi lls.
But the Metroland report shows new landfi lls are diffi cult to build because government of Ontario approvals required to create new facilities are hard to get, lengthy and costly.
“You can spend six, seven, eight years preparing and not get an approval at the end of the day,” said Adam Chamberlain, a Toronto environmental lawyer. “Approving a landfi ll in Ontario is not for the faint of heart.”
In fact, the Ministry of Envi-ronment hasn’t approved a sin-gle new landfi ll site since 1999. During that time 147 small land-fi lls have closed, leaving Ontario with 958 existing active landfi lls. But many of those are small and not classifi ed as capable of tak-ing on a major municipality’s trash.
About 85 per cent of Ontario’s
waste goes to only 32 Ontario landfi lls classifi ed by the minis-try as “large.”
The main reason trash is cre-ating problems is that munici-pal landfi lls are fi lling up with garbage that should be recycled or reused, including cardboard, plastic bottles, milk cartons and paper.
The biggest offender is plas-tic.
A report by Stewardship On-tario shows that about 176,500 tonnes of plastics — including 30,906 tonnes of plastic bottles — were chucked into the gar-bage instead of the recycling box in 2009, the last year for which provincewide fi gures are avail-able. That means three-quarters of all that plastic — including 44 per cent of plastic bottles — ends up in landfi lls.
Another culprit is paper pack-aging, the cardboard boxes and milk and juice containers that could be recycled as well. About 34 per cent of that material, or 122,396 tonnes, ends up in land-fi lls too.
One Ontario landfi ll operator, Bob Beacock, regularly spots these recyclable items as they tumble out of the garbage trucks at the Brock site, east of Toronto. But he only has time to rescue the odd scrap metal or tire.
“We can’t just get out of the machine and start picking out pop cans,” the Brock site opera-tor said. “You just know you’d be here 16 hours a day. That’s the public’s obligation.”
Like most municipalities, Ot-tawa is trying to send less trash to landfi lls. The key is diverting waste to other places – recycling and composting – and that re-quires residents’ involvement.
Reducing the use of landfi lls can save taxpayers money be-cause new landfi lls come with hefty costs. It’s up to cities and towns to convince residents that the cost-savings are worth the ef-fort of recycling or composting, or that their efforts can have a positive impact on the environ-ment.
“Do we do it to save money on our taxes or do we do it because it’s the right thing to do?” asks Marie McRae, an Ottawa city councillor and chair of the city’s environment committee.
McRae said the Trail Road landfi ll – which takes Ottawa residents’ solid waste – will be full at current rates by 2035. Use of the black, blue and green bins could extend that by years or even decades.
Starting in November 2012, Ottawa residents will see a change in pickups:
Green bin every week.Black and blue bins on al-ternate weeks.Other solid waste once ev-ery two weeks, although people can request weekly pickup in certain circum-stances, usually when the home is producing diapers.
McRae estimates the city and its taxpayers will save $9 million annually by going to biweekly garbage pick-up.
She said biweekly garbage collection will trigger greater use of the green bin because it will offer residents a way to dispose of “yucky stuff ” every week.
“Not everyone will partici-pate,” she said, “and we expect
••
•
the people who are recycling and composting now are likely to do it more.”
Marilyn Journeaux, the city’s manager of solid waste servic-es, said the best case scenario would see residents reduce the current solid waste going into the Trail Road landfi ll; saving tax money and helping the envi-ronment at the same time.
Today, Ottawa residents dump 200,000 tons of solid waste into the landfi ll. Journeaux said that number could be greatly reduced by sending 100,000 tons annually to Plasco for gasifi ca-tion, with another chunk sent to Orgaworld for composting.
The city’s contract with Orga-world costs taxpayers $7 million annually. While the contract al-lows the city to send 80,000 tons of organic waste for compost-
ing, last year residents only sent 55,000 tons for composting.
Residents will need to have a clear understanding of what can go in the green bin when the city goes to biweekly gar-bage pickup.
The city’s website can tell you which items go in which bin, and McRae said homes with children will have another source of information.
“There are bins in the schools and the kids are the ones who know which bin to use,” she said.
Almost anything can be com-posted or recycled today, but there is still some confusion.
McRae said grocery store bags, Styrofoam or cling-wrap doesn’t belong in the blue bin and should be placed in the reg-ular trash.

Local teens will be hitting the high notes for charity at an annual Kiwanis fundraiser at the Villa Lucia Supper Club on Dec. 11.
The annual event to raise money for Ki-wanis Idol will be doing double duty this year, with a portion of the proceeds going to Do it For Daron – an initiative to trans-form youth mental health that started in response to the suicide death of 14-year-old Daron Richardson in 2010.
Eldon Fox, a long-time member of the Kiwanis Club of Kanata and one of the organizers of Kiwanis Idol, said when the group was approached by the Royal Ot-tawa Foundation for Mental Health, they were happy to help.
“Suicide is an issue that a lot of the kids are talking about,” Fox said. “Most
of them are close to Daron’s age and have had experience with suicide through their schools or issues with their friends.”
Nine talented youth will perform at the supper, along with a band.
Fox said the annual supper concert is the biggest fundraiser for Kiwanis Idol, which showcases musical talent from across Ottawa and the valley.
In his 15 years with the Kiwanis Club, Fox said he has seen the event grow expo-nentially.
“It’s really the only thing available for musicians in the city to see if they have what it takes,” he said.
For the fi rst time this year, the idol red carpet will be rolled out at Scotiabank Place, moving up from venues like Cen-trepointe Theatre and Carleton Universi-ty. For the Dec. 11 Christmas party, tickets are $40 and can be purchased by calling 613-831-9900.

May 14, 1944 was the last supper Eva Olsson had with her family in Szatmár, Hungary. She was 19 years old.
Her small town had been occupied by the Germans and the family ate dinner by candlelight with the windows covered.
“My family was murdered by hate,” Olsson said to students at Sir Winston Churchill Public School during an anti-bullying talk on Nov. 25.
The talk was part of the Ottawa-Car-leton District School Board’s anti-bully-ing week, which promotes awareness and prevention each November.
“How many have been bullied?” Olsson asked the crowd. “I was bullied by the Na-zis.”
Part of the theme of the talk was by-standers, which Sir Winston Churchill principal Aisling O’Donnell said was to teach the children the importance of speaking up.
“The historical context is really im-portant and ties in with what the Grade 8 classes are learning,” O’Donnell said.
Olsson said that if the rest of Eastern Europe hadn’t stood by when Germany occupied Poland in 1939, many lives could have been saved.
“More than one million children un-der the age of 14 were murdered,” Ols-son said. “There were fi ve children in my family who died. My sister had died and we promised to care for her children. My oldest niece was three years old and the youngest was two months. I am here to speak for them and all the other children who were silenced by hate.”
After that last supper at her home in Hungary, Olsson and her family were told they were going to work in a brick factory. They were marched seven kilometres to a train that would take them to Auschwitz – a Nazi death camp.
The box car the family was to travel in was loaded with 100 people and there was standing room only. There was one pail to be used as a toilet and one to be used for water. People began to die during the trip from lack of oxygen.
“Once we got there, many people start-ed to say that at least we could breathe, but when we stepped off the train it was much worse,” Olsson said. “The air was fi lled with black smoke and there were guards everywhere armed with rifl es.”
Once they reached the gates, Olsson said Dr. Josef Mengele – the so-called Angel of Death – would direct people to go left or right. To the right meant being a slave in the work camps and to the left meant going to the gas chambers to die.
“We didn’t know why we were being told to line up or where people were go-ing,” Olsson said, adding that she held her niece’s hand until another prisoner told her to let her niece go with her moth-er.
“I turned around and my mother was gone, I never saw her again,” Olsson said, breaking down into tears.
All the older women and mothers were forced to wait in the woods and then were sent into the gas chambers. Olsson
said that when they were cleaned out, the children were always on the bottom with their heads crushed from having the adults’ bodies on top of them.
Those who survived were forced to haul bricks on a daily ration of soup made from potato peelings and bread.
Olsson lived like that for months until the Russians began to advance towards Auschwitz, making the Germans fear they would be freed. Some prisoners were starved; the healthier ones were marched up the Rhine River until they reached Bergen-Belsen.
ALLIED BOMBS
It was a nicer factory with running wa-ter and a kitchen, but that didn’t last long with the Allies bombing day and night.
Olsson said they came back to the camp one day to fi nd all the outbuilding had been burned to the ground because of a phosphorus bomb, forcing the prisoners to live in the root cellar with very little water and food.
“The fl oor was crawling with lice,” Olsson said, adding she was sick with ty-phoid fever.
She lay on the fl oor for six days, know-ing the “good guys” were coming.
“I couldn’t die, I had to take care of my sister,” she said.
On April 11, 1945, she was rescued by the British and sent to a hospital in Swe-den where she met her husband.
Since fi rst talking to her granddaugh-ter’s class in 1996, Olsson has toured thou-sands of schools across the country and said she hopes to share her lesson with children and help them to understand the dangers of hate.
“Children who feel good about them-selves and know themselves will never bully another child,” she said.

NEVIL HUNT AND JENNIFER MCINTOSH
The recent death of Kanata teen Jamie Hubley was on the minds of public school students and staff at the seventh annual Rainbow Youth Forum on Nov. 24.
The one-day forum brought together students from grades 7 to 12 to discuss gay, lesbian and transgender issues, including homophobia and bullying.
More than 300 students and a number of Ottawa Carleton District School Board staff packed the gymnasium of the Con-federation Education Centre on Woodroffe Avenue for the day’s opening remarks.
The annual forum was billed as a day “about us, for us and by us,” by the student emcees.
Jennifer Adams, the board’s director of education mentioned the recent suicide of Jamie Hubley, the only openly gay student at his Kanata high school.
“We’ve had some bumpy things happen this fall,” she said, adding that Jamie’s death has “encouraged lots of communi-cation.”
“All of you belong in our schools,” Ad-ams said in welcoming the students and staff.
She said the forum invited intermediate students – those in grades 7 and 8 – to take part this year because questions about sexuality come up before students are in secondary schools.
Following a moment of silence for Ja-mie, one of his friends spoke. Stephanie Wheeler, a Grade 12 student at A.Y. Jack-son Secondary School, said she knew Ja-mie for about seven years, including his two years at A.Y. Jackson.
She said Jamie was bullied for being openly gay, and that she was briefl y bul-lied when she stood up for him.
“I don’t know how Jamie did it every day,” Stephanie said. “I used to say, ‘It will get better,’ but I was wrong. We have to make it better.”
She said she wants to motivate people to do more and be who they want to be.
“No one can tell you you can’t do some-thing,” she said.
The forum provided students with the opportunity to choose from 16 workshops during the day, including sessions on ho-mophobia in sports, how to help a friend, and coming out. Teachers also attended
panel discussions and workshops.
WORKSHOPS
Jade Pichette is the creating safer spaces co-ordinator at Pink Triangle Ser-vices. When she fi rst attended the Rain-bow Youth Forum she was one of the only openly trans youths in the school board, now she’s on the planning committee.
Pichette, along with a team of people from Pink Triangle Services led a series of workshops for students on everything from coming out to queer phobic bullying and transrealities.
The workshops are evaluated by the students at the end of the day and help to shape what will be covered at the forum next year.
During her involvement with the forum, Pichette said the number of students who attend has grown exponentially.
“We have students from across the city and even some rural areas come out,” Pi-chette said.
While Pichette said homophobia and bullying still exist, she is happy to see so many community groups pressuring the school boards to do better. Pichette said Pink Triangle and other organizations will always be there to support students who want to start rainbow alliances in their schools, but they have to know about the initiatives.
“The boards have to allow them (all kinds of clubs) under the Safe Schools Act,” Pichette said, adding that Pink Tri-angle youth services and other organiza-tions are there to offer support to students experiencing bullying.
“Jamie Hubley’s death was very pub-lic, but unfortunately it isn’t that unique. There are still a lot of gay teens commit-ting suicide,” Pichette said.
Alex Thomas, Pink Triangle’s Trans-Action co-ordinator, led the workshop on transrealities and helped kids to break down gender barriers and learn some of the terminology and thinking in the trans community.
Kids learned how to be supportive of friends coming out.
“There are a lot more kids coming out younger,” Pichette said. “Now kids in grades seven and eight are coming out and the support has to be there.”

With the offi cial opening of Algon-quin College’s Centre for Construction Excellence (ACCE) on Nov. 25 will come a knowledgeable workforce, according to Minister of Foreign Affairs and MP for Ottawa West-Nepean John Baird.
“With looming worker shortages, and growing demand, giving students the tools they need to succeed in the work-force is all the more important,” Baird said. “Graduates will leave this place with top-notch training, and carry on the task of building an even better Canada for future generations.”
The college unveiled a plaque com-memorating the partnership between the three levels of government that made the funding for the $79-million building possible. The federal and provincial gov-ernments each provided $35 million, the city provided the land on the west side of Woodroffe Avenue – valued at $2 million – and the college raised $7.5 million with the help of the construction industry.
“It’s a real community project,” said Ottawa West-Nepean MPP and provincial Minister of Infrastructure Bob Chiarelli.
“It’s a stunning building on a thriving campus and will make a real difference for students in the west end and across Ottawa.”
Chiarelli called the building a living lab because of the exposed diagonal bracing, cast-in-place concrete frame and exposed elevator pulleys.
The building also boasts built-in sen-sors that provide real-time and historical diagnostics monitoring of the humidity, air quality and structural loads in the building.
“The ACCE is more than just a build-ing, it is a hub for interdisciplinary col-laboration and a living laboratory where students learn from the building itself,” said Claude Brulé, dean in the faculty of technology and trades.
In the lobby, visitors and students can view the building’s foundation through a glass-covered hole in the fl oor, and a fi ve-storey bio-wall made of plants that fi lter the air and controls humidity.
The centre brings together students enrolled in the trades as well as archi-tectural and interior design technology programs.
The 18,000-square-metre building added 600 student spaces to the college this fall.

When Flora MacDonald thinks of Afghanistan, she thinks of long wind-ing roads, snowy mountains and beau-tiful countryside.
It’s not the same Afghanistan she sees when she watches television and sees where troops are stationed.
“It’s a country that I’m very familiar with,” said MacDonald, who spoke at a Rotary Club of West Ottawa lunch on Nov. 22 at the Carling Avenue Travelo-dge Hotel. “I’ve travelled it from one side to another, back and forth, north and south, and I’m going to show you what I think is really the area which I have come to fi nd one of the most ap-pealing spots in the world.”
MacDonald was Canada’s fi rst female foreign minister in the government of prime minister Joe Clark in the late 1970s, and was a keynote speaker at the lunch where she gave her talk entitled Afghanistan: Between Hope and Fear.
Afghanistan, she said, is a country that’s smaller than Ontario, but has a population similar to Canada at more than 30 million.
“There’s so much more to it than we hear (about),” MacDonald said. “The rest of the country is different and the people are different than what we see (on television).”
She explained how she fi rst went to Afghanistan many years ago because she found a scrapbook her grandfather kept while travelling there.
She visited after the Russian occupa-tion of the country, which lasted from 1979 to 1989.
“When I fi rst went, there was noth-ing but ruins everywhere,” MacDonald said, adding that she also travelled up to the mountain areas where she saw the beauty in Afghanistan.
She also noticed how the women, dressed in “tremendous colours” would take their children to the market.
“I was fascinated with the way these people weaved and spun and dyed their shawls various colours,” she said.
MacDonald remembered one of the villages she visited outside of Kabul, and found there were no schools built there.
One man, who had some background in teaching, would call the children to-
gether and they’d listen to him read from a single slate.
“I was struck by the fact there were no schools,” she said. “When I went back a few years later, I had been working with several groups who de-cided they could raise money to build a school there.”
She remembered the beautiful blue lakes she came across, especially at the country’s fi rst established national park near the Bamyan Valley, where 1,000-year-old statues of Buddha were located before being destroyed by the Taliban.
MacDonald helped push for Afghani-stan to have this national park, remem-bering how Canada’s fi rst prime min-ister, Sir John A. Macdonald, brought forward national park legislation in Canada during the late 1800s.
She said she continues to go back, and now into her 80s she even sleeps in huts with the villagers.
“It’s not always the most comfortable, but it’s the most beautiful,” she said.
Alan Bowles, a member of the Ro-tary Club of Ottawa West, said getting interesting and entertaining speakers like MacDonald helps the club bring in more members and renew current memberships.
“She presented a compassionate view – totally the other side of coin of what we hear about Afghanistan,” he said.

JESSICA CUNHA
The Capital City Condors have expand-ed.
Now in its fourth year, the hockey team, which caters to youth with intellectual and physical disabilities, has grown to in-clude a west team in Kanata and an east team in Rockland – and president Jim Per-kins said they’re already looking for more ice in the city.
With 39 players on the west team and 35 players on the east team, there are already at least 20 youths on the waiting list, said Perkins.
“The issue is going to be ice again,” he said. “Ideally, our goal is to expand again.
“We envision four teams eventually.”He said the Condors are looking at po-
tentially expanding to Barrhaven or south Ottawa, as well as Gatineau sometime in the future.
“We have people registering when their kids are three years old to make sure they have a spot,” said Perkins.
NEW TEAM
The new Rockland Condors team has a home base at the Canadian International Hockey Academy, a private hockey board-ing school in the east end of the city.
“We were obviously really fortunate to have met up with them,” said Perkins. “(The kids) love it.”
The school was looking for ways to volunteer in the community, he said, and when they heard about the Condors it turned out to be a great fi t.
“The students help volunteer every week,” said Perkins.
With two Ottawa Condor teams, the hockey players now have a chance to face off once a month. The friendly games will alternate between the Rockland rink and the Jack Charron Arena in Glen Cairn where the west team has its home base. The Condors also get sporadic ice time in Carp.
“Now they get to play,” said Perkins, adding before it was hard to set up game days. “This way they’ll get a game every month.”
The east team will play in red jerseys, while the west team’s colour is black.
“It’s more than just a hockey team,” said Perkins. “It’s a community.”
The players look forward to hockey ev-ery week, he said, with many getting their
gear laid out the night before.“For them to be part of a team it builds
their self-esteem, their moral,” said Per-kins.
He said a number of the players have developed in terms of broadening their personalities and growing their social-in-teraction skills.
“I think we’re seeing some of the long-term benefi ts.”
Perkins said the teams are still looking for more volunteers for one hour a week on Saturdays with either the west or east team.
RINK DREAMS
Perkins said eventually he’d like to see a complex built with the purpose of serving those with physical and mental disabili-ties.
“Our dream now is to put up a complex,” he said.
The Condors have taken off in the four years since the team’s inception; although it caters to youth, there are a number of young adults on the team who started in their teens.
“We need a couple different levels of adult hockey,” said Perkins, in order to best serve those who play.
He said he’d also like to see a place where people could play sledge hockey, which allows those with physical disabili-ties to play the sport on a sled.
“If we ever had our dream (of a com-plex) we’d want two ice surfaces,” he said – one for ice hockey and one for sledge

GEOFF DAVIES
For one Nepean Raider, the hockey player’s ultimate dream of came true ear-lier this month.
Mac Weegar, the Raiders high-scoring rookie defenceman, got to don the red-and-white of Team Canada.
Weegar, a student at Barrhaven’s St. Jo-seph Catholic High School, was selected to play for Canada East at the World Ju-nior A Challenge.
Held Nov. 7 to 13 in Langley, B.C., the international tournament culminated in
Canada facing-off against itself.“It was like the Battle of Canada,” said
Weegar, who scored a point in the game, which ended 4-2 in favour of Canada West.
“It’s weird getting a point against your own country, but when you’re go-ing against another team, you just forget about it,” he said.
The 17-year-old was one of three Raid-ers who made it to the Canada East selec-tion camp, along with defenceman Ryan Johnston and left-winger Keenan Hodg-son.
Raiders coach Peter Goulet said the
Raider standout returns from B.C.
