News - Some residents were outraged that developers’ influence changed the final recommendation for the alignment of Greenbank Road’s extension to the south, but councillors say the plan makes more sense in the bigger picture.

Consultants from MMM Group working on where to place the extended section of Greenbank and the southwest Transitway suggested last fall that one of three curved options that sloped from south of Dundonald Road to Barnsdale Road would be the final choice.

But at a meeting on March 4, consultants revealed the final

recommendation is a straight alignment that cuts directly south through the urban expansion area.

The road isn’t expected to be built until around 2031 and about 25,000 additional homes will be built in the area at that time, said Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder.

That straight alignment makes more sense for a number of reasons, said Peter Steacy,

the MMM Group consultant, but the main consideration in changing the plan was input from developers and the city’s planning department, which weighed in on the impact a curved Greenbank would have on development opportunities in the area.

Greenbank Road re-alignment slated for 2031 Continued from the front

“There were real concerns brought forward by the developers on the implications of any of these (curved) alignments on … the pattern of development that the city was promoting, or in fact requesting and requiring of its developers to implement,” Steacy said.

The curved road plan would be at odds with the grid pattern city planners want to see in new suburban developments, Steacy said.

He said the alignment would also have left developers with many irregularly shaped lots.

“It’s very difficult to build on a triangular parcel compared to a rectangular parcel,” he said.

It would also complicate local transportation in the future communities around Greenbank because transportation planners must limit the number of intersections on curves because they can be more dangerous.

Jack Stirling, president of Minto Homes, which plans to develop land in the area, said

he understands the difficulty in balancing the concerns of current residents with plans for future homes, but he said he didn’t feel that developers had any more of a say than other stakeholders.

Although developers had been at the table all along, Steacy said that in the fall, builders and city planners were able to provide quantifications of how the curved alignment would negatively affect developers’ ability to achieve the density of homes the city is pushing for.

Although Steacy said the data on the development impact was available, he and city staff did not provide it by this newspaper’s deadline.

Barrhaven Coun.

Jan Harder said she was shocked at how little the plans considered a reduction in development potential before she got involved last fall.

“The people that were engaged in the process wasn’t the larger community, it was a part of the community, Harder said. “How ridiculous is that? … not including any of the information we know about where the growth is

Brent McNamee and Dave Rooney, residents of the 1st Line Road area, view plans for an extension of Greenbank Road, which will also involve adding a traffic signal and two new roundabouts near their homes. They agreed the plan would make traffic safer. going to happen.”

Viewbank Road residents like Patrick Plue worried the straight alignment would provide opportunities for motorists to use their street

as a cut-through if Greenbank traffic is backed up.

Harder said drivers who wanted to do that would be inconvenienced by having to make a number of turns, including a left turn, in order to do that and dismissed the concerns as less important than the big picture.

She said it would be “foolish” to make a decision based solely on the concerns of Viewbank residents, adding that traffic-calming measures could alleviate the residents’ concerns.

If residents wanted to pursue that, Harder said, options could include closing one end of Viewbank, allowing only right turns in or out from the road or restricting access to certain hours.

The recommendation for a straight extension of Greenbank will be considered by the city’s transportation committee on May 7.

The detailed plans can be viewed on ottawa.ca by searching for “Realigned Greenbank Road.”

ROUNDABOUTS AND NEW SIGNAL

Many of the approximately 80 residents at the meeting were there to express support for an interim safety measure: adding a traffic signal at the Tintersection of Bankfield and 1st Line Road, Harder said.

The traffic light will be coming soon, Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt said.

But Manotick resident Bruce Willems worried the traffic signal, which would cost up to $150,000, would take money and focus away from the main projects to build the two roundabouts at Prince of Wales. One roundabout would be a two-lane, four-leg roundabout connect-

ing Bankfield and Prince of Wales.

A second roundabout further south would connect a new offshoot of 1st Line Road to Prince of Wales.

Those two intersections were added to the scope of the study last year after Moffatt pushed to have the process consider related traffic issues in the area. he Manotick Village and Community Association is in strong support of the roundabouts.

They originally suggested the idea as a way to improve north-south traffic flow by making it continuous instead of having to stop at lights, Willems said. In the shorter term, before the main construction expected in 2031, improvements are also coming to the intersections at Prince of Wales Drive at Merivale and Woodroffe roads.

Coyotes one of the ‘most amazing wildlife stories’ in U.S.: expert COYOTES PROMPTED STRATEGY

The animal’s success in just about every environment it has chosen has been a major cause for concern among Ottawa’s rural residents, beginning about 10 years ago, said Thompson.

Pressure from farmers who were losing livestock, as well as other residents disturbed by the coyotes’ growing presence had Thompson pushing city council and the province for a solution.

Highlighting a hole in the city’s ability to deal with wildlife, Thompson said he believes the coyote issue is what sparked Ottawa’s new wildlife strategy which, among other things, suggested the wildlife speakers series.

So it’s no surprise a coyote expert was the first to make a presentation, said Thompson.“Some of the information (Gehrt) presented about the

SUBMITTED/MAX MCGRAW WILDLIFE FOUNDATION

Coyote expert Stan Gehrt holds the first coyote he caught for his urban coyote study 14 years ago. The animal grew quite intelligent, said Gehrt, resulting in a wrestling match to finally recapture her.

Though she got Gehrt’s glove, he succeeded in controlling her with a bit of duct tape. coyotes was really quite startling and very interesting,” said Thompson.

Despite having to deal with coyote issues on a regular basis, Thompson said that when problems started, he didn’t have much to go on. The push

for a coyote cull was more or less the only response he could come up with at the time, he said.

Now, Thompson views education – and bringing in experts like Thompson – as perhaps the best way

to deal with wildlife problems going forward.

“I really think that we do have to work with educating people,” he said, adding that he and residents are all better educated about coyotes now than they were. Though lethal removal of coyotes may still be the only solution when it comes to diseased or rabid animals, he said that overall, he has a much softer touch when it comes to dealing with wildlife. “I think we are far better equipped and educated now than we were and I think that it’s only going to improve as we go forward.”

Despite all the problems the coyote question has caused for Thompson, he found himself more amazed than worried by the information Gehrt had to share. “They are almost humanistic,” said Thompson of coyotes after the talk.

Considering how ardently the animals stay with their mates, and how intelligently they deal with living in cities – like looking both ways before crossing the street and even using crosswalks – it might be hard not to see them in a different light.

News - While coyotes have gained a reputation as a nuisance or even a cause for alarm in some parts of Ottawa, community members gained a new perspective on the crafty animal during the city’s first wildlife speaker series event on Feb. 28.

Urban coyote expert Stan Gehrt of Ohio State University made a presentation to a packed room at Centrepointe Theatre – a bigger turnout than he expected for a Friday night.

But then, coyotes have been a concern for Ottawa residents for nearly a decade, with talk of packs of coyotes roaming streets in broad daylight in some rural areas several years ago.

Doug Thompson, councillor for Osgoode ward, found himself defending a coyote hunt contest in his ward to help deal with the situation in 2010, and suggested that a cull may be the ultimate solution.

But he and other members of the Ottawa community were treated to a different perspective on the animal.

Far from just being a nuisance, their ability to live where people don’t want them is amazing, said Gehrt.

Over the past 14 years, Gehrt has conducted research into urban coyotes in greater Chicago, describing how the animals are adapting to live just about anywhere.

There are more coyotes in North America than ever before, said Gehrt, as the animal is not native to Canada or much of the United States. In fact, coyotes are the only mammalian carnivore to double its range in recent history.

With the largest brain to body mass ratio in the canidae family, and a body weight averaging about 18 kilograms allowing them to survive on smaller prey than their wolf cousins, coyotes are managing to exploit just about any environment available to them, said Gehrt.

By now, the only new territory left to exploit is urban land. But not only are they exploiting it, they are thriving there, he said.Gehrt began his research in Chicago, doubting there would be enough coyotes to conduct a convincing study. Fourteen years later his team has trapped 749 coyotes and put electronic collars on 395. This has allowed Gehrt to track movements over much of the animals’ lifetimes, see how they reproduce, how large their territories are, and how they interact with urban and suburban environments.

Among many other things, Gehrt has found that coyotes live in very well defined territories, and smaller urban areas than in rural environments. On average, he said there is less than one coyote per two square kilometres in rural areas, and four to five coyotes per square kilometre in urban and suburban areas.

This is because they are finding all the food they need in those smaller territories. And that’s not as dependant on trash and pets as you might think. By literally digging into coyote feces (generally a job given to grad students), even urban coyotes’ diets have been found to be mostly rodents, rabbits and other small animals, with very little human food and

pet remains found.

Though Gehrt said this doesn’t describe the animal’s entire diet, it gives a good indication of the kinds of things they tend to eat.

New crosswalk option encourages councillors Less expensive midblock crossing being considered by province Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - A new style of pedestrian crossing the province is creating will be a boon for safety in Ottawa, city councillors say.

The new type of pedestrian crossing facility is being developed by the Ministry of Transportation and will likely be signed off on by the summer, said Phil Landry, manager of traffic management for the city.

Once it’s included in the regulations

was deemed unsafe. Many other Ontario municipalities have come to the same conclusion, according to a city staff report.

“That would be far safer to do a bunch across the city than putting the money into one or two places,” Wilkinson said. “I would like to see more places protected.”

Councillors were also relieved to hear the updated MTO regulations would also address safer pedestrian crossings at roundabouts and rightturn lanes.

for implementing the Highway Traffic Act, the new rules would allow for a mid-block crossing that uses signs to give priority to pedestrians, Landry said.

That’s a cheaper option to give pedestrians a way to cross to the other side of the road, said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson.

The city’s hands have been tied in that regard because the only current option used in Ottawa a fully signalized mid-block crossing that can cost $100,000 to $150,000 or a pedestrian crossover, which involves installing flashing lights to alert motorists to the crossing at a cost of approximately $70,000. That pedestrian crossover was rejected by the city in 1991, when Ottawa stopped using that type of crossing because it

A new option for signed pedestrian crosswalks being considered by the provincial Ministry of Transportation would allow the city to install more safe crossings, councillors say. The option under consideration would cost less than what’s currently allowed, which involves expensive traffic signals or flashing lights.

TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the City of Ottawa passed By-law Number 2014-74 on February 26, 2014, under Section 34 of The PLANNING ACT. AND TAKE NOTICE that any person or public body, who, before the By-law was passed, made oral submissions at a public meeting or written submissions to City Council, may appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board with respect to the By-law, by filing with the Clerk of the City of Ottawa, a notice of appeal setting out the objection to the By-law and the reasons in support of the objection. An appeal must be accompanied by the Ontario Municipal Board’s prescribed fee of $125.00, which may be made in the form of a cheque payable to the Minister of Finance.

A notice of appeal can be mailed to the City Clerk at 110 Laurier Avenue West, Ottawa, Ontario, K1P 1J1, or by delivering the notice in person, to Ottawa City Hall, at the Information Desk in the Rotunda on the 1st floor, 110 Laurier Avenue West.

A notice of appeal must be received no later than 4:30 p.m. on April 2, 2014.

Only individuals, corporations and public bodies may appeal a zoning By-law to the Ontario Municipal Board. A notice of appeal may not be filed by an unincorporated association or group. However, a notice of appeal may be filed in the name of an individual who is a member of the association or the group on its behalf.

No person or public body shall be added as a party to the hearing of the appeal unless, before the by-law is passed, the person or public body made oral submissions at a public meeting or written submissions to the council or, in the opinion of the Ontario Municipal Board, there are reasonable grounds to add the person or public body as a party.

The updated guidelines could also be good news for Sandy Hill and Lowertown residents at odds over the opening of an intersection at Beausoleil Drive and Chapel Street.

The dead end at Chapel was opened at the end of last year in an effort to find a way to make a safe crossing for the three Lowertown schools: York Street Public School, Sainte-Anne Catholic School and De La Salle High School.

But some Sandy Hill and Lowertown residents worried the temporary solution of opening the intersection to traffic in order to be able to create a pedestrian crossing with the stop sign would lead to cut-through vehicle traffic on residential streets.

The solution reached in consultation with the community will see the intersection open to bicycles only as early as later this spring. That will meet the provincial requirements for an intersection and still allow the stop sign and crosswalk to remain.

But that could change if the new provincial regulations allow for a more appropriate pedestrian crossing, said Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury.

He said city staff are telling him the changes proposed by the MTO might be the best solution for the Lowertown intersection.

“We’ll have to wait and see what the outcome is,” he said.

Even if the plans for Beausoleil/ Chapel don’t change as a result of the new regulations, Fleury said a new option for pedestrian crossings would be beneficial to look at using at other sites in his ward.

Let’s make our changing neighbourhoods work for everyone

T

he people we used to call yuppies (young urban professionals) have been the salvation of many cities. They have revitalized older neighbourhoods. With their buying power and political activism they have demanded and got better restaurants and stores, improved schools and daycare facilities for their children.

But there is a downside too, as some cities have begun to notice. As neighbourhoods become revitalized, property values go up, and along with them, property taxes. As the trendy stores and restaurants move into the neighbourhood shopping areas, rents go up too. All of a sudden, there is this wonderful neighbourhood and only the well-to-do can afford to live in it.

But of course there are people who are not well-to-do living there. These are the people who lived there before it was fashionable to do so, when it was possible for a person of modest means to own a home in the neighbourhood.

These are the people who had family-owned stores on the now-fashionable street. Unless these people get help, the locally owned stores disappear, the modest houses are sold and torn down to make room for much larger ones with three-car garages.

The neighbourhood has been revitalized, but its character has been destroyed.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town A recent New York Times story details this process in several U.S. cities, such as Philadelphia, Boston, Washington and Pittsburgh, where so-called gentrification has threatened homeowners from the working- and lowermiddle classes. A common solution has been to freeze or lower property taxes for long-time homeowners, many of whom suffered through years of declining property values and perhaps high crime in the years before the gentrifiers arrived.

Officials in those cities are aware that tax dollars have been spent on making their cities attractive to young professionals -- those dog parks, bike paths and soccer fields cost money.

Often tax breaks were given to condo developers. So it seems a matter of simple fairness to make sure that long-time residents of more

modest means are not unduly penalized.

At the same time, there is some political risk in doing so, since the revitalization process, with its march of new condos, is a continuing source of new tax dollars. A city politician who will forgo a source of revenue is a rare bird, so it’s clear that a crisis of sorts is in sight.

Obviously the residents of American cities, because of the 2008 mortgage crisis, are in more of a bind than Canadians, but you only need to walk around a Canadian city to see that the problem applies to us too. The Glebe might have been the first neighbourhood to become (a) really nice, and then (b) unaffordable. Westboro has obviously followed and Hintonburg is next.

What has happened on the residential level has been matched in the retail sector. Neighbourhood store after neighbourhood store has succumbed to increased taxes or increased rents. Too often the replacement has been a chain. Too often a hardware or grocery store has been replaced by a coffee shop or a fitness centre. The result: more power to the car culture that forces us to drive every time we need some little thing.

Since our city government, like other city governments, says it wants to reduce the impact of the car culture, our city, like other cities,

should be trying to find ways to keep small stores in business, just as it should find ways to keep lower-middle class and working people in their homes.

Failing some remedial action, the look of the future is there already for us to see: pleasant but unaffordable urban neighbourhoods surrounded by suburbs clustered around giant shopping centres, the two linked by a clogged river of cars.

Gentrification, along with intensification, has been seen as the salvation of our cities. Well managed, it probably can be. But cities need to be for everyone.

Councillors step-up pressure for traffic-calming budget Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Some city councillors are stepping up their call for a citywide budget for traffic-calming measures after the transportation committee again decided to punt the cost to councillors’ office budgets.

The decision was the latest attempt made to tackle the issue of how to cover the cost of things like traffic humps to slow traffic, which are one of the most frequent requests councillors hear from residents.

Leaving the responsibility and cost to individual councillors has politicized the issue, said Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury. Some of the 22 ward councillors have more flexibility in their budgets and less demand on their office resources, said GloucesterSouthgate Coun. Diane Deans, leaving those councillors with lots of leftover cash to appease residents who want cars to slow down on their streets. “Councillors who might have more discretion in their budgets

The Children’s Aid Foundation of Ottawa is a charitable organisation whose objective is to raise funds for essential programs that are not covered by the government. These programs assist children and youth in the care of the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa.

The Dare to Dream bursary program is an important program in which the Foundation offers its support. This Program provides funds to young adults who are in care, or were formerly in the care of the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa, to assist with their postsecondary education tuition. The bursary program provides young adults the opportunity to pursue their life goals.

She has previously bemoaned why roads aren’t designed to calm traffic when they are first built.

The discussion ramped up in December when the committee received a report outlining Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume’s

successful traffic-calming efforts. In 2013 he spent $1,968 of his office budget, which is to be used for staff and constituency services. He spent $2,500 the year before, much of which went to electronic boards that display vehicles’ speeds. Data presented to the committee showed that motorists slowed down on the streets

where measures were implemented.

Paying for the stop-gap measures is a reoccurring conversation at city council. Council discussed creating a $30,000 traffic management fund for each ward in 2012, but instead decided on a one-time citywide $2.5 million fund to address a backlog of problems.

At the most recent transportation committee meeting on March councillors delved into the topic again and made it clear that a more sustainable source of funding needed to be identified in next year’s budget. “If these are working effectively, we need to have a strategy for when they are used and a budget to do it,� Fleury said.

Deans also called for a more rigorous approach to funding traffic-calming measures and evaluating their effectiveness. “Fundamentally I don’t think that constituency budgets should be used for city operations,� she said.

The discussion clearly frustrated Innes Coun. Rainer Bloess, who has repeatedly said he was in favour of ward-specific traffic-calming funds that councillors would have control over. We wouldn’t be having this debate if we followed through with what this committee originally decided, which got nixed by the mayor’s office,� Bloess said.

A motion he tabled to give councillors the ability to allocate their office-budget money to traffic-calming projects in their ward sparked debate before committee members approved it on March 4. The motion would simply continue what was already in practice on a temporary basis, he said. It would only give instant approval for projects that don’t add an ongoing operational expense to the city’s books. “I’m trying to make it easier,� he said.

Cake • 4 eggs, separated • 175 ml (3/4 cup) granulated sugar • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) cream of tartar • 175 ml (3/4 cup) all-purpose flour • 25 ml (2 tbsp) pure apple butter Honey-Glazed Apples • 25 ml (2 tbsp) butter • 4 medium apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced • 125 ml (1/2 cup) liquid honey • 125 ml (1/2 cup) pure apple butter PREPARATION

utes. Set the mixture aside.

In a glass or metal bowl, with clean beaters, beat the egg whites until foamy, then beat in the cream of tartar until the mixture is frothy. Add the remaining sugar, 15 ml (1 tbsp) at a time, beating until stiff peaks form -about three to five minutes.

Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the yolks. Gently fold in the flour until no streaks remain. Spoon in the apple butter and gently fold it into the mixture. Spoon the mixture into a 23-centimetre (9-inch) tube pan, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon. Bake in centre of 160 C (325 F) oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until a cake tester inserted comes out clean. When it’s done, turn the pan upside down and let hang on legs attached to pan, or on a bottle, until it’s completely cooled. Remove from the pan.

Honey-glazed apples: In large skillet on medium heat, melt the butter. Cook the apples, stirring occasionally, for two minutes.

Stir in the honey to coat the apples and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and

cook for three to five minutes or until apples are slightly softened and glazed. (If you prefer softer apples, cook for three to five minutes longer). Pour the apples into a heat-proof dish, cover and set aside for up to 4

hours.

Cut the cake into eight equal slices and spoon the honeyglazed apples over each slice.

Top each with 15 ml (one tbsp) of apple butter.

Aviation museum to close for remodeling Staff

News - The Canada Aviation and Space Museum will temporary close for remodeling for a couple of weeks in the early spring.

The museum will close from March 17 to 21 and April 22 to 25 to make changes to the main exhibition, including adding new features and elements for a focus on the centennial of the First World War.

“The (museum) will feature a new exhibition with aircraft that have never before been on display to commemorate this event,” said Stephen Quick, the museum director.

“As we enter into a period of significant milestones and commemorations, we take our responsibility to ‘never forget’ very seriously.”

According to the museum, the remodelling will include adding more aircrafts of that

era from the museum’s current collection as well as showcased important innovations and aircraft transformations to help characterize the period.

Recently the museum announced the last remaining Hawker Typhoon, an aircraft which helped lead air operations over Normandy 70 years ago, will also be on display.

After years in storage with the Smithsonian Institute, the Typhoon was returned to the

Royal Air Force Museum in 1968.

It became the centerpiece for the London museum in its DDay commemorative display in 1994.

The typhoon is on loan from that museum and will help commemorate the 90th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Air Force.

The closure of the museum will not affect March break or the Easter long weekend.

Manotick’s Black Dog Bistro takes People’s Choice awards Sixth-annual Soupfest pours on funds for True Love in Christ Ministries

By Ashley Kulp akulp@perfprint.ca

Community - Soup lovers armed with spoons, packed the North Grenville Municipal Centre March 1 for the TLC (True Love in Christ) Ministries’ sixth annual Soupfest fundraiser.

This year, the event featured 15 restaurants from across Lanark, Leeds and Grenville, including Kemptville, Merrickville, Prescott, Morrisburg, Smiths Falls and Manotick. Celebrity judges Jocelyn Myre and Drew Hosick of STAR 97.5 (chef Michael Dunn was scheduled to appear but had to cancel), had the tough task of tasting and voting on best soup, best creative soup and best presentation, while guests carefully filled out ballots to declare the People’s Choice award for best soup. Thrillusionist Michael Bourada entertained the crowd and Ken Finnerty auctioned off some delicious desserts prepared by some of the chefs of participating restaurants.

“Every year it’s (Soupfest) getting better and better and thank you to the restaurants for taking time out of

your busy days,” remarked Soupfest organizer Lynn Ford of TLC Ministries. “The soups were just phenomenal, in quality of the soups and imagination.”

Judges gave the top marks of the day to Merrickville’s Goose & Gridiron for their Mexican chicken tortilla creation, which earned them the best soup nod. Coming in second and third were Manotick’s Black Dog Bistro (silken scallop with crisp pancetta) or the New Rideau Restaurant (cream of broccoli, cauliflower and cheddar), respectively.

Best presentation went to Prescott’s Bridgeview Restaurant for their bridge structure, complete with miniature vehicles, which accented their entry of a hearty beef and barley soup, a favourite served each Thursday at the restaurant. Second was The Crusty Baker for their Eastern European rustic beet concoction and ASHLEY KULP/METROLAND the Brigadoon Restaurant of Oxford Nick Di Bello, sous chef with Manotick’s Black Dog Bistro, stirs his Mills took third for a roasted cauli- creation, silken scallop with crisp pancetta.

noon, with those honours going to the Black Dog Bistro, followed by the New Rideau Restaurant and the Brigadoon Restaurant (tied for second) and the Goose & Gridiron.

“I’m really impressed and really happy. We all win in the eyes of everybody that’s here today,” commented Ford. “The ones that weren’t, I hope you (chefs) go back from wherever you’re from and tell them they missed out on a really good time.”

There was something for every soup connoisseur at this year’s fundraiser. The Red George Public House Inc. in Prescott provided a creamy tomato and roasted red pepper soup with a cheddar cheese crouton; Mainstreet Restaurant in Merrickville offered a flavourful Dhal (Indian lentil) soup; while Comfort

by AJ’s served up a Mexican Pozole (traditional soup featuring roast duck and chorizo).

There was no end to the variety.

Guests could sip on Nakhon Thai’s pork rib soup and then feast on the Branch Restaurant and Texas Grill’s sweet corn chowder or maybe cleanse their palette with the asparagus and lemon infusion by Merrickville’s Yellow Canoe Café.

According to Lynn Ford of TLC Ministries, Soupfest was designed in order to showcase the talented chefs at area restaurants and give them an opportunity to interact with their communities.

“This is a win-win-win for everyone. These restaurants are getting to know new people in their community and are reaching out of their own zone and coming together. That’s what it’s all about,” she said.

Susan Moizer, owner of the Yellow Canoe Café noted Soupfest offers a platform for networking amongst restaurants.

“It’s a great marketing opportunity and for people who don’t know you or people who haven’t been to the restaurant in a while, this jogs their memory about what we offer,” she said.

Ford hopes to continue to grow the event (it’s already on the books for next year, March 7, at the municipal centre), and acknowledges that sponsors are key. She thanked Louise & Company, Kemptville Bowling and Nature’s Way for providing door prizes, as well as Jed Express for sponsoring the hall, MT Advertising

by Design for creating the winner’s plaques, as well as m5 digital (printed pamphlets) and Chris Hart of Allied LLP Chartered Accountants (soup cup sponsor).

Ford was also grateful to the countless volunteers, Fun with Fabric in Chesterville, who made the judges’ bibs, Sandra Misener, Grahame’s Bakery as well as the board of directors of TLC Ministries. She stressed that with the popularity of the event, more volunteers will be needed for next year.

Funds raised through Soupfest go to support the mission work of TLC Ministries.

Still many treats to be had despite the Depression

G

oodness knows we were reminded often enough that there was a Depression on.

Just ask for something as simple as a pair of white stockings, or a new hair ribbon, and you were told once again of the scarcity of money. “There is no money for such frivolities,� we were told.

And just as often were we told, “Eat every last scrap on your plate. If you don’t, you’re taking it right out of the mouth of a starving Armenian.� I had no idea who the starving Armenians were, but I was pretty sure they lived in Arnprior.

Yes, wasting food was a sin, and if it cost money and wasn’t absolutely necessary, your chances of getting what you asked for were pretty slim indeed. Yet we had what I called treats aplenty back in the 1930’s. When the nights were bitterly cold, with the wind howling outside, rattling the windows, Mother could always come up with something that took the chill out of the old log house.

Often it was a popper full

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories of corn, laced with a jug of melted butter. Sometimes it was a treat that my sister Audrey said took the place of a good dose of Epsom salts, but to me it was delicious. Had I stopped to think about it, it wasn’t something handed out willy-nilly -- in fact, we only got it in the dead of winter. It was a big glass of molasses, water and a heaping tablespoon of baking soda. It fizzed up, often pouring out of the glass, and I considered it a real treat, which pleased Mother. It was never handed out on a school night, of course, because the result of this special treat was many trips to the outhouse. Audrey called it “our winter clean out,� but to me, it was a treat.

Then there was oven toast.

How I loved oven toast. It didn’t come out looking like the toast made on top

of the stove, over hot coals.

Every one of us considered it a special treat, and when Mother asked, “Who would like a piece of oven toast?� we all squealed with anticipation. Only Mother could turn out oven toast the way I like it. She would lay out slices of thick homemade bread on the bake table, lavish butter on both sides, put a wire rack over a couple deep pie plates, put the bread in rows on the rack, plug in another block of wood into the stove, and put everything into the hot oven.

The butter-saturated bread would crisp to a light golden brown, and I thought it was the most delicious treat Mother ever invented, breaking the slices into pieces and gobbling it up with butter running down my fingers. The trick, Mother said, was not to take it out of the oven until

it was crisp, but not letting it brown. She knew just how to manage it all in right order, and there wasn’t, in my mind, a more delicious before-bed treat than oven toast.

There always seemed to be lots of home-made bread at our house. Mother baked once or twice a week, and we five kids were forever fighting over who got the crusts at either end of the loaf. It got to the point where Mother had us draw straws for this treat.

And a special bedtime treat was a thick slice of homemade bread, buttered of course, and then spread with a layer of brown sugar with cinnamon sprinkled on top. I have no idea why she did it, but Mother always cut the slices into little squares before piling them on a dinner plate in the middle of the table, moving the sugar bowl and spoon holder to make room. The whole pile would vanish in minutes, and we would head off to bed with sugar-filled stomachs and a feeling of complete joy.

Audrey became an expert at making fudge. No one could talk to her when she was at the job. I would sit at

the table and listen to her slap the big wood spoon around the pot which was inside another pot of cold water.

It had to be just the right consistency before she poured it into a buttered pie plate and left to chill.

That night, when we were sitting around the old pine table, each engrossed in their own activity, Audrey would cut the fudge into little squares, and dole them out like they were chunks of gold.

Once the maple syrup season started, and Mother retrieved a pot of sap from the big flat pan boiling in the bush, simmering it down to a right thickness, we had “taffy on snow,� a special treat on a Saturday night or Sunday afternoon. The hot syrup would be drizzled on the fresh snow, left to harden, and then we lifted it off with buttered fingers and sucked the taffy like we would a sucker bought at Briscoe’s General Store.

I shared a special treat with Audrey that no one else in the family seemed to relish.

When a jar of preserved plums would be brought up from the dug-out cellar for a meal, and the pits were all

that were left in the little fruit nappies around the table, Audrey would get out the breadboard, and the little tack-hammer, and she’d break open the pits freeing the pulp from inside. We would wait until all the pits had been smashed open, and then Audrey and I would move to the creton couch near the Findlay Oval, and between us, we’d devour the fruit nappy of pits as if they were store-bought candy.

Even my brother Emerson’s prediction that eventually the pits would sprout and grow a plum shrub in my stomach didn’t take away my love of plum pits.

Those long-ago days of the Depression years were years of the most simple pleasures, and treats free of an outlay of money, and long before cholesterol was part of our vocabulary.

Youngsters to lace up for CHEO in race weekend Sabine Gibbins sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

News - Children and their families will benefit from Ottawa’s premier running events.

On May 25, approximately 1,500 children between grades 3 and 8 will participate in the Scotiabank Ottawa Kids Marathon for CHEO, a fundraiser for the hospital.

The youngsters will have the opportunity to be a part of the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend – known as the largest multi-race running event in Canada. “CHEO has done so much for the health of children in eastern Ontario, and Scotiabank’s commitment to charitable causes has made a real difference in communities across the country,� said John Halvorsen, race director, in a statement. “We’re honoured to have the opportunity to use our popular Kids Marathon to work with Scotiabank and help raise funds for the CHEO Foundation.�

During the kids’ marathon, the children accumulate ac-

tivity credits by participating in physical activities such as running, soccer, cross country skiing, basketball or hockey prior to race day.

Each half hour of activity qualifies for one kilometer of a marathon (the total is 41 km), and is recorded on their official activity tracking sheet.

Then on race day, the youngsters line up to complete their score by running the last 1 km of their marathon. “The Scotiabank Ottawa Kids Marathon for CHEO is truly a great fit for us because it embodies the healthy, active, lifestyle that we encourage all of our youth to embrace,� said Kevin Keohane, president & CEO of the CHEO Foundation. “We know that it will be very inspiring for our entire community to see students from grade 3 to grade 8 running on behalf of so many kids in our area whose health will not allow them to do so.� “We are excited to partner with Scotiabank to be part of this great event and we en-

courage all runners in Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend to join these kids by fundraising in support of CHEO.�

Director at Scotia Private Client Group Geoff Moore said in a press release that the young runners were getting a chance to participate in a world-class event and at the same time, supporting a pediatric health and research facility. “We look forward to cheering them on as they work towards their fundraising goals,� he said.

Race kits for youngsters in the Scotiabank Ottawa Kids Marathon for CHEO include a T-shirt, race bib, bag and a finishing medal.

The event will be held on Sunday, May 25, at 8 a.m., where children will then finish the last 1.195 km of their marathon.

The 2014 Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend predicts that 48,000 participants will compete this year in six races, including the Scotiabank Ottawa Marathon, the Scotiabank Half-Marathon, the Ottawa 10K, the HTG Sports 5K, the 2K and the Scotiabank Kids Marathon for CHEO.

Runners in last year’s Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend participate in one of the races.

Sports - The Ottawa RedBlacks first ever trade deal has an Ottawa native coming home after a seven-year career with the Calgary Stampeders.

Though it’s hard to leave the Stampeders behind, defensive lineman Justin Phillips said he is pumped to play in front of a hometown crowd.

The RedBlacks announced the trade Feb. 11, about half an hour after Stampeders head coach John Hufnagel told Phillips about the trade.

Nonetheless, news of the trade was not quite a surprise.

Though Phillips said he hadn’t requested a trade, he said he has spoken with Hufnagel before, saying he wouldn’t mind being closer to home.

“Ottawa has been my home my whole life,” said Phillips.

“Even my seven years with the Stampeders, every off season, I came back to the Ottawa Valley and made my permanent residence in Arnprior.”

After seven years in the CFL, Phillips admitted he is getting into the latter portion of his career and that getting to play in front of a hometown crowd would be a good way to finish off.

It’s a thought he has entertained for most of his career, as rumblings about an Ottawa franchise have been around since Phillips got his start in 2007.Phillips said he is not ungrateful to the team that gave him his start, not to mention a Grey Cup win.

“It’s tough leaving,” he said. “(The Stampeders) showed a lot of faith in me by drafting me in the first round way back then, and they stuck with me.”

But playing for Calgary meant leaving family and his football roots behind.

While the Stampeders gave Phillips his start in the CFL, the Bell Warriors gave him his

Defensive Lineman Justin Phillips was traded to the Ottawa RedBlacks after seven years with the Calgary Stampeders. He was the Stampeders first round draft pick in 2007. start in football.

When a Grade 8 classmate mentioned his father coached football and that he was going to play, Phillips thought he would try out as well, “and I haven’t looked back.”

Playing in the mosquito, peewee and bantam levels with the Warriors, Phillips, surrounded by coaches and other passionate teammates, nurtured his love of the game.

“I can’t say I’ve had much more fun in my life than playing football back with those guys,” he said.One of the biggest lessons playing with the Warriors was work ethic, said Phillips.

“I always wanted to be the fastest, the strongest,” he said.

“I always wanted to be at the top, so from a very young age I developed a good work ethic and I’ve carried that through my entire career and through my life.”

To this day, Phillips recalls the coaches who made a difference for him: Jim Wagdin, Mike Wilson, John Buck and “Coach McQuillan.”

“They did a great job in

teaching kids and trying to develop men.”

With those lessons in mind – alongside his success on defence and with special teams with the Stampeders – Phillips said his RedBlacks coaches are looking to him to be a “stabilizing force” on defence and a leader on special teams.

As a veteran on the newly formed franchise, Phillips said he aims to create a winning culture, as well as strengthen CFL interest in Ottawa.

“I think we are going to have a chance to really develop strong football roots in this community,” said Phillips.

“Hopefully it will get more kids involved in football, more kids coming to the games and being inspired and hopefully developing football careers of their own and seeing where it takes them.”

With a mini-camp in April and the main training camp starting at the beginning of June, it won’t be until July 18 that the home crowd will get its first look at its new team, and welcome Phillips back home.

EXPLANATORY NOTE TO BY-LAW No. 2014-80 By-law No. 2014-80 amends the City of Ottawa Zoning By-law 2008-250. It establishes new rules for the location of driveways in the outer suburban area (being generally the area between the inner boundary of the Greenbelt and the boundary between the urban and rural area, including Barrhaven, Stittsville, Orleans, Kanata and Riverside South, but excluding Blackburn Hamlet and Bell’s Corners.)

Attach a War Amps confidentially coded key tag to your key ring. It’s a safeguard for all your keys – not just car keys.

If you lose your keys, The War Amps can return them to you by courier – free of charge.

It removes, in the outer suburban area, the prohibition on extending driveways in front of the front wall of the residential use building. Such extensions are limited to 1.8m in width and must be finished in alternatives to asphalt or monolithic concrete. It also clarifies that driveways are permitted to be extended into the extension of the side yard into the front yard.

When you use War Amps key tags, you support the Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program.

The amendment includes a technical amendment to Sections 107 and 109 of the Zoning By-law to make these sections clearer and easier to understand and use by the general public.

Lindenlea mom twirls into ballet scene Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

Arts - As Diane Harper gets ready to take to the stage in her first ballet performance there is one thing she wants everyone to know – you are never too old to try new things.

Harper began learning to dance in her 40s and after 10 years taking dance classes at the School of Dance, the Lindenlea mom gathered up her courage to audition for Ballet Jörgen’s performance of Romeo and Juliet at Centrepointe Theatre on March 29.

“As a parent, you have to be careful to not live your dreams through your kids,” Harper said.

“This was my way to follow my dreams myself.”

Harper found out about the audition opportunity through her daughter.

The audition called for a ballet dancer who was 15 years or older, fit into a costume and had knew ballet. She joked she filled all the requirements so decided to give it a try.

“When the audition notice came up, I thought “Wouldn’t it be fun to audition?” she said.

“Getting the courage up was the scariest part and I didn’t expect I would get the part.”

MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

Harper will perform in Ballet Jörgen’s Romeo and Juliet at Centrepointe Theatre on March 29.

LEARNING TO DANCE

Her love for dance began shortly after she signed her five year-old daughter up for ballet at the School of Dance.

“I went into the office and asked if they offer classes for old, frumpy moms,” Harper said.

“They told me they call them ‘adult classes’ and I signed up.”

Harper said since she has barely missed a class.

Now, at 53, Harper says she loves that she swallowed her fears and tried ballet dancing and she adds she is by far not the oldest in her class.

“Dancing as an adult has been great. When I signed up I knew nothing, now I am learning more and more and I love it,” Her part may be small, a walk-on role, but she said she is excited nonetheless.

“I felt I was never going to get a chance to do it again, so I thought why not,” Harper said.

The cross-country tour of Ballet Jörgen’s Romeo and Juliet will welcome Sanita Abilmajineva as Juliet and Hiroto Saito in the role of Romeo, but welcomes Harper and other local dancers from the city in the performance.

While in Ottawa, the ballet company offered dance classes at the Nepean Creative Arts Centre during March break.

Tickets for Shakespeare’s famous tale of love and anguish are currently on sale for $41-51 at centrepointetheatre. com.

The show starts at 7:30 p.m. at Centrepointe Theatre.

Harper said she is no longer nervous and can not wait for the experience to take place.

“The actual performance is the fun part,” she said.

“After getting over that feeling of feeling silly, it becomes all about having fun.”
