TIPS FROM 

TONY 

Winter 2011 

• Make sure that electrical extension cords 

you may have used outdoors are healthy. 

Check the cord thoroughy for possible cracks 

and do not use it if damaged. 

• If you have a wood burning fireplace, burn 

well-seasoned hard woods that have been 

split and properly dried. This will prevent 

creosote accumulation inside the chimney 

walls. 

• Pour some water into the floor drain in the 

basement to refill the trap. This will prevent 

sewer gases from backing into the 

basement.

Instructor ProfILe —

If you are planning a trip anytime soon to a Spanish–speaking country, you really must 

check out Silvia’s class! 

Silvia has a degree in bilingual teaching from the British Council in Mexico and also taught 

for 2 years at the University of Mexico and has taught children as well. She came to the 

Ottawa area 8 years ago, from Guadalajara Mexico, when her husband was transferred. 

She and her husband still have many relatives in Mexico, so they try to go back and 

visit every couple years. 

Silvia started teaching 5 years ago in the OCDSB General Interest Program at 440 Albert 

Street and really enjoys teaching the adults because they want to learn, so that they 

can travel. 

Because she used to teach children in Mexico, sometimes she uses the fun techniques 

that she used with them with her adult students (like games or BINGO) and she says 

they really enjoy it and it is very useful as well. The BINGO, for instance, is great for 

practicing ones numbers and letters. One of her students relayed a story to her after 

the class, saying that she was really happy that she knew the alphabet so well as she 

had to spell something very important over the phone in Spanish when she was recently 

on a holiday. 

Silvia says it is interesting to note that the most common phrases people want to learn 

when they come to her class, is different for men and women. 

“Women want to learn Where can I go shopping? Which is Quiero ir de compras. And men 

want to learn how to say Can I have a beer please, which is una cerveza por favor." 

So please join Silvia for one of her many Spanish classes, you are sure to enjoy it!

instructor ProfiLe — 

Jim WaLker 

Jim Walker says that for him, he loves photography as a 

medium, because it is an interesting mix of creativity and 

technology – and he enjoys both! 

Jim started teaching photography in the General Interest 

Program in 1996 – at Earl of March — where he taught 

Photography and the Dark Room. And like photography 

itself, has now progressed to courses in Digital Photography! 

He currently teaches at Glebe and AY Jackson in the 

evenings. He added framing classes in 1998. 

Jim obtained a visual and creative arts diploma from St. 

Lawrence College with a specialty in photography in 1992. 

He also attended U of O for 4 yrs and studied photography. 

He has been a commercial freelance photographer since 

1996, doing reproductive photography, wedding photography 

(1996-2000) and portraits. He and his wife Amy 

opened a framing store in 1996 in Stittsville and that is 

what he does for one of his many day jobs. 

He feels that framing does go hand in hand with 

photography as it completes the artwork, and like digital 

photography, success is achievable with the proper instruction. 

"My favourite type of photography is Wilderness Landscapes. 

You know, swamps, bogs, trees, bushes," he adds. 

"I like it because landscapes are continually changing and 

it helps preserve the memory of wild areas, that change 

over the years. The photo captures the landscape and 

records it at that moment in time. For example, I have 

some photographs of the Kanata wilderness from many 

years ago, where a subdivision now stands." 

The most important thing people should do if they want 

to take their best photos, is to get familiar with their 

equipment. 

“Knowing the features of your camera is critical to realizing 

your creative vision”, he says. 

Jim enjoys teaching adults because he says they actually 

use the information he gives them to benefit their life 

somehow — most want to learn to take vacation or family 

photos, and many do send him e-mails after the class. 

"One of the best bits of feedback I get is when someone 

tells me that they have a photo they took, framed and 

hanging somewhere prominently in their home. " 

Please join Jim for one of his photography (or framing) 

courses. Details are on pages 5, 44 and 45.

West counties of England. We begin our tour

focus on the spectacular hiking found along the South 

West Coastal Path — a world heritage site. Visual 

presentations will augment the reference guides and 

free tourist information is available as well. 



(Please see Linda's profile at right) 

instructor ProfiLe — 

Linda Loder 

Leisure 

If you enjoy traveling or history, Linda Loder’s unique travel 

courses are a must. 

Linda has been teaching courses like Hiking in the South 

West of England in the OCDSB’s General Interest Program 

since 2004. She says she likes to give people the tools to 

travel independently and with knowledge, so that they can 

explore in their own time and space rather than rely on 

the guided tours that focus on the tourist attractions and 

are often rushed and impersonal. She finds that England 

does lend itself well to the self-guided tour idea because it 

is so accessible — there is no language barrier to impede 

understanding and appreciation of the area. 

For some classes, Linda prepares a slide show and for all 

classes there is a prepared travel guide available for $15. 

The travel courses have a little history in them, while the 

history courses have travel as a component. 

She enjoys the people in history, and has always been 

intrigued by such characters as Anne Boleyn, Richard III 

and others from the Tudor and Pre-Tudor time periods. 

Linda has always been interested in travel and her interest 

in hiking stems from her first hike in England with 

her husband in 1985. History was a later interest which 

developed because of her association with the Twelfth Night 

Society of Ottawa. Being actively involved in re-created 

plays of historical events, stimulated a curiosity about the 

Tudor time period which has increased over the years. Her 

knowledge of people and events helps to round out the 

historical tours which are described in her courses. She 

and her husband are currently hiking their way around 

the 630 mile “South West Coastal Path.” Her “History 

and Hiking in the South West of England” classes outline 

in detail her experiences and the logistics of hiking in this 

beautiful part of England. 

In Linda’s classes, students not only have access to 

the prepared guide but also to brochures and maps 

acquired during her travels to England. These materials 

help students in planning their own trip. “Many of my 

students come back for the stories” she says, "and enjoy 

a vicarious trip to England even if an actual trip is not in 

the immediate future. She finds it interesting to interact 

with her adult students and hear their travel stories and 

experiences as well."

58 LEARNING, Winter/Spring 2011 

Kindergarten Registration 

January 31 to February 4, 2011 

Registering for Kindergarten 

It’s time to register your child for junior and senior kindergarten 

for the new school year starting September 2011. The kindergarten 

registration period will be held January 31 to February 4, 2011. 

Student registrations are accepted at local schools throughout 

the school year. 

Here are some of the things you’ll need to do to register your child: 

Please visit your local school. Children eligible for junior 

kindergarten must be four years old by December 31, 2011. 

Children eligible for senior kindergarten must be five years old by 

December 31, 2011. Students in junior kindergarten do not 

have to re-register for senior kindergarten. 

Please bring proof of age in the form of a birth certificate, 

baptismal certificate, registration of birth card, or passport. 

Registration cannot be completed without one of these 

forms of identification. 

Please bring your child’s Ontario health card and immunization 

record or proof of compliance with the exemption of the 

Immunization of School Pupils Act, R.S.O. 1990 c.11, as amended. 

Ottawa Public Health requires proof that your child has 

received proper immunization. All children attending school 

in Ontario must be immunized against diphtheria, tetanus, polio, 

measles, mumps, and rubella, unless there is a valid exemption. 

If your child has lived or travelled outside Canada or in a First 

Nations, Inuit, or Métis community in Canada for three months 

or longer during the past five years, you will need a Certificate 

of Immunization and Tuberculosis Assessment for School 

Entry issued by Ottawa Public Health before starting school. For 

more information, contact the Ottawa Public Health Immunization 

Program at 613-580-6744, ext. 24108 or visit ottawa.ca/health. 

For further information on registering, please 

visit our website at www.ocdsb.ca. 

Middle French Immersion Registration

takes place February 22 to February 28, 2011. 

Full-Day Kindergarten Program

the program in September 2011 are Bells Corners Public School,

educator. To find out if this program is offered at your school,
