St. Mark teacher on hockey high

Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

You wouldn’t call Mike Paron a hockey legend, but he sure played some legendary hockey in early March when Molson Canadian flew him to the Rocky Mountains to check out its outdoor rink more than 2,700 metres above sea level.

The St. Mark High School teacher and long-time hockey coach was one of 11 national winners of the beer company’s Anything for Hockey campaign.

The winners flew out to British Columbia for a secret fiveday vacation that included two days during which they were taken by helicopter to play hockey on the ultimate outdoor pond: a frozen glacial lake high in the mountains.

“It’s like hockey heaven; it’s everyone’s dream to play hockey there,” said Paron, who added it was -30 C in the mornings, but usually warmed up to

about -10 C once the sun came out – perfect pond hockey weather. “I just soaked it all in. I just wanted to go up and enjoy the experience it for what it is.”

While Paron is sworn to secrecy until the final results are aired, the contestants scrimmaged with some undisclosed VIPs – for clues, consider the footage will be played during the NHL play-offs – including a goalie, Paron said.

The winners were nominated for their promotion of Canada’s favourite sport, be that through the creation of a league for deaf kids or by uprooting your entire family from Europe so your son can play hockey in Canada.

Paron, for his part, was chosen for his promotion of the sport in the unlikely country of Australia.

Paron attended teachers’ college there in the 1990s, joining a semi-professional hockey league while he was in school.

He helped run kids’ camps and encouraged participation in a sport that doesn’t occur naturally in the warm Pacific nation.

Council approves budget, starts strategic initiatives process Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

City councillors approved their 2015 operating and capital budgets on March 11, formalizing a two per cent residential property tax increase, an average 2.5 per cent transit fare increase and a six-per-cent hike in water and sewage rates.

That translates into about $67 extra on urban property taxes and $55 for rural households, plus an added $48 per household in added water and sewer bills.

The overall tax increase is 1.75 per cent, the lowest in eight years.

But for community groups, organizations and project leads holding out for a piece of the $37.4 million pot of undesignated money that’s been set aside for strategic initiatives, it could already be too late.

“Staff have developed how we would recommend those funding envelopes ... be applied,” said city manager Kent Kirkpatrick.

As it’s a new term of coun-

cil, the councillors still haven’t set their top priorities for the next four years. Not wanting to pass a budget without those priorities properly covered off, staff set aside $32 million for capital projects and $5.4 million for operating expenditures to be carved out after the budget is in place.

Staff drafted a list of council priorities for the next four years – from addressing homelessness to improving transit to cleaning up the Ottawa River – based on last term’s priorities, election campaigns and developing issues like gang violence.

Kirkpatrick said the heads of the council’s standing committees will meet with staff in April to talk about their priorities, and then they’ll get the first crack at making changes to the mini budget that he said has already been laid out.

“They will look at the draft that staff has developed for their consideration and make changes in terms of what they would like to recommend to council as a whole,” Kirkpatrick said.

The public will be able to have its say during committee meetings in June before the strategic initiatives plan goes to council in July.

Staff were on hand at the special council meeting on March 11 to help clarify and direct debate on specific issues, but the budget passed without any new amendments, as most of that work was done in council committees in February and early March.

Council also approved the Ottawa Public Library, Ottawa Police Services and Ottawa Board of Health budgets the same day.

As delegations from the public weren’t allowed, the meeting progressed quickly with some debate and comments arising particularly around the transit fare increase, which some councillors – particularly Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper – said will harm the city’s most vulnerable residents.

But the biggest controversy of the meeting came at the very end, when rookie River Coun.

City council approved the 2015 budget on March 11, agreeing to raise residential taxes two per cent. motion to conduct a councillor survey on how the budget process might be improved going into 2016.

Given that it’s a condensed year – last fall’s municipal election pushed the budget process back three months – staff will

jump into next year’s budget process right away, likely presenting their 2016 budget direction to the finance and economic development committee in June.

That leaves only about a month to conduct the council-

lor survey and still give staff enough time to analyze the results and work them into their 2016 plans, city treasurer Marian Simulik said.

In the end, the motion was approved after an hour of procedural back-and-forth.

Singing the blues with a smile on their faces Joseph Morin

Joe.morin@metroland.com

Music can reach into the minds of students and leave quite an impression there.

The RBC Bluesfest Blues in the School program has returned to Greely Elementary School for the second year and the results are everything educators had hoped for.

The RBC Bluesfest sponsored program is an educational one created to promote, reserve, and perpetuate the art and culture not to mention heritage of blues music. The program brings artist and educators to Ottawa schools and pairs them with musicians for a two- week period in Ottawa area schools.

The Grade 5 class at Greely Elementary School has learned five songs they performed in front of their entire school body on Friday, March 13.

Beginning in early March, the Greely school benefitted from the talent and instruction into the world of the blues from

Joseph Morin/Metroland

Jeff Rogers and Sharon Riley led a Grade 5 class as part of the Blues in the Schools program on March 11. The class learned five songs, which they performed in front of the whole school after two weeks of instruction. several accomplished musicians such as Rick Fines and Brandon Wint, Jesse Green and Kurt Walther, Shawn Tavenier and Tyler Kealey.

In the final week of the Blues in the School program, accomplished Canadian gospel music singer Sharon Riley along with singer-songwriter and versatile keyboard player Jeff Rogers took on the task of teaching the students in their classroom for the grand final of the school

program. Teacher Shelly Hier’s Grade 5 class was more than ready and able to take part in the programs final musical presentation.

“These children are very talented,” said Riley. “We have been learning one song every day.”

The plan was to have the students ready to perform five different songs by the end of the program.

At the beginning of the week

Riley asked the students what theme they would like to base their performance on.

The students chose harmony and poetry as their theme and then the class picked out the appropriate music to suit that theme.

The students are very involved in the project. Not only did they pick the theme, learn the songs and perform them, they also created a banner for the entire school to see.

The students were quick to pick up on the various lessons learned while following through on the program. During rehearsals for their big performance the school’s principal, Alexandra Vasilas dropped by their classroom for a listen.

“I had goose bumps while you were singing,” she told the young performers.

The principal mentioned it was quite an experience watching the children become in-

volved in the music especially when they were all together in the gym enjoying the same experience.

Gloria Mackie, a kindergarten teacher at the school brought the Blues in the Schools program to the Greely school for the second year. “I think the kids really enjoy seeing the artists,” she said.

She explained that the program, along with the music component also taught students about the history of blues from a musical perspective and how the blues originated with the era of slavery. The slaves only had their voices to use as instruments as they worked. Mackie also uses music in her known class to teach her students. The program teaches students about history, leadership, working as a team and respecting others as the various blues artists gently bring the students together to perform as one.

Mackie believes music is a great way to reach children.

“Music has no boundaries,” she said.

CHARITABLE GIVING WITH LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES - A WIN-WIN FOR BOTH FAMILY AND CHARITIES The use of life insurance in the context of charitable gifting at death will appeal to those who want to reduce or eliminate taxes at death and/or have a strong desire to make a larger bequest to one or more charities.

Life insurance is a popular, practical way to make a significant gift to CHEO. Your donation will be wisely administered through investments which will provide a stable source of income to CHEO for years to come.

There are three main methods you can gift life insurance: by making a bequest of the proceeds of a life insurance policy through your Will; donating the policy during your lifetime at fair market value; or by naming CHEO as beneficiary and remaining as policy owner.

the estate value is preserved. In this case, premiums for the life insurance policy are paid with a relatively small percentage of the funds that would otherwise have been used to pay taxes owing.

The use of life insurance in the context of charitable gifting at death will appeal to those who want to reduce or eliminate taxes at death and/or have a strong desire to make a larger bequest to one or more charities. This should be considered in the bigger context of planned giving options available to donors both during their lifetime and at death.

Due process skipped in Mitch Owens soccer purchase: auditor Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

The city’s auditor general said the city’s purchase of George Nelms Sports Park in Manotick

didn’t have the proper real estate appraisals when council approved the $1.3 million purchase in 2010.

Auditor general Ken Hughes tabled his annual report on March 12, outlining the results of his au-

dits of several city departments and programs, as well as two calls to the city’s fraud and waste hotline.

One of those reviews considered whether the city followed its

own rules when it bought the Ottawa South United soccer fields on Mitch Owens Road.

Council approved the purchase of 32 acres of land from Centaurus Partnership for $1.3 million plus tax, along with a sports field agreement with the Ottawa South United Soccer Association, in July 2010.

Centaurus had paid $250,000 for the land in 2006, but had added two soccer fields and a parking lot since then.

Four more soccer fields were planned, according to parks and recreational general manager Dan Chenier.

The $1.3 million price tag included $762,000 worth of improvements plus $538,000 for the land – more than double what Centaurus had paid four years earlier.

In reviewing the purchase process, Hughes said the real estate department had not obtained two independent value appraisals as required by the city for any land purchases estimated at $750,000 or higher.

While the city did file two appraisals, Hughes said there was overlapping information from the same source, so they weren’t truly independent.

The city’s internal appraisal reused information from the seller’s submission to outline the costs of the site’s soccer field and parking

improvements, he said.

“Knowing that the city ignored its own policy by not getting two independent appraisals before spending $1.3 million dollars on soccer fields is not a practice that the city would like to continue,” Hughes said.

Chenier said staff on the file didn’t realize the improvements counted as part of the land purchase price, adding that using Centaurus’ cost analysis saved the city from having to hire a consultant to do the same work.

INACCURATE AND INCOMPLETE

The auditor said the purchase report to council was also missing vital information – most notably, the fact that some members of Centaurus were also the sitting president, vice-president and treasurer of the soccer association at the time of the sale, even as the city was negotiating an agreement with OSU to share access and maintenance of the fields.

No conflict of interest was reported at the time.

The sale also included inaccuracies, Hughes said, as the purchase report said there were no tax receipts issued for a $250,000 donation made to the city for the development of a clubhouse.

In fact, tax receipts were issued in November, Hughes said.

To remind drivers to slow down, Darouze said he worked with city staff to include a $50,000 set of flashing lights in the 2015 budget, which will sit atop the new 60km/h signs east and westbound to alert drivers to the reduced speed zone.

The change was in response to parent council’s concerns that the school’s kindergarten and primary playgrounds front onto the rural arterial road, putting the students in danger if the fast-moving cars were to have a collision or accidentally leave the road.

“We’re working towards the full school day but we’re very, very happy with the progress we’ve made so far,” said school principal Chris Toivonen.

He said staff have agreed to a further study to determine if the reduced speed can be applied to the entire school day. Right now the students still face full-speed traffic during the noon-hour recess, he said.

The solar-powered lights will be installed in time for next school year, Darouze said, and will only come on during the peak hour reduction. Darouze said the set-up is similar to the one in front of St. Mark High School on Mitch Owens Road.

Staff will also paint a new solid middle line in the zone this spring to prevent passing in front of the school.

“We listened to our parent council,” Darouze said. “It’s a safety issue for residents.”

City on track to blow snow removal budget Costs already $11M ahead of annual spending projection Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

According to city treasurer Marian Simulik, Ottawa’s winter maintenance budget is heading into deficit for the second year in a row due to record-setting weather. you’d salt, and 24 hours later you’d be clearing the roads and salting again,” Simulik said.

As part of the special budget meeting, council approved a motion to put an extra $2 million in property tax revenue into the city’s winter maintenance reserve fund. The extra money comes from a discrepancy in the draft budget’s property tax revenue assumptions and actual growth in housing values. The 2015 property tax

growth will actually be 1.9 per cent, not 1.75 – putting an extra $2 million in the city’s coffers.

Simulik said the winter maintenance reserve is a weak spot with only $2.1 million available – not enough by a long shot if the city does end up with a large snow removal overrun.

“I know you’re not going to have enough in the winter maintenance reserve to cover the deficit if winter trends con-

crews start clearing major roads and city highways two to four hours after a winter storm begins. Secondary roads start to be cleared six hours after accumulation, and residents can expect their residential roads to see ploughs after 10 hours. Residential lanes and pedestrian crossings aren’t cleared until the 16-hour mark, while bus stops don’t need to be cleared for 24 hours after a storm starts.

Downtown sidewalks are supposed to be cleared four hours after a storm starts, while all other sidewalks aren’t ploughed for 12 to 16 hours.

Along with the 33 snow days in the first two months of 2015, since Nov. 15 Ottawa has enforced six overnight parking bans to deal with heavy snowfall. In that time bylaw officers have issued 12,032 tickets for parking ban infractions, at $65 each.

The city had the same number of overnight bans in the 2013/2014 season, with 11,787 tickets handed out.

Operations general manager Kevin Wylie is already in the process of reviewing the city’s winter maintenance system to avoid deficit situations in the future, city manager Kent Kirkpatrick said.

“The review will be looking at what are the current council service standards and the extent to which they’re being applied consistently across the city,” Kirkpatrick said. “Are they being exceeded; are they being not met in some areas? It will be a complete review.”

Simulik suggested the assessment could prompt changes to base funding – the amount needed to cover contract obligations, equipment maintenance and other basic costs – and the way road crews actually carry out their work.

Changes could include “ways to curtail the spending by changing the standard or even changing how we deliver the service,” she told council.

According to the city’s current snow clearing policy,

The city’s winter maintenance costs are already $11 million ahead of where they should be to make it to the end of 2015 – and it’s only March.

City treasurer Marian Simulik told a special committee of the whole on March 11 that as of the end of February, the city’s $57.6 million snow clearing and removal budget was trending towards a deficit for the second year in a row due to record-setting weather.

“Because of the extreme cold, the amount of salt that we were putting down and the amount of grit was significantly more than previous years,” Simulik said.

That was compounded by the fact that Ottawa had 33 snowfall days in January and February (up from 24 during that time last year), meaning road crews had to redo all their work every second day.

“You’d clear the roads,

tinue the way it is,” she told council. “It’s based basically on risk: where’s your biggest risk?

That’s where it is, so that’s why we’re recommending it.”

This year’s situation is trickier than 2014, when the $14 million snow removal deficit was paid off largely by one-time revenues: some contingency money for the legal dispute with Orgaworld, an addition payment from Hydro Ottawa, extra money from the Ottawa Community Lands Development Corporation and a few reduced operational expenses. “(We know) that we’re not going to get most of those onetime revenues again in 2015,” Simulik said. She said anything the winter maintenance reserve doesn’t cover will come out of the general capital reserve.

The motion passed unanimously.

Price to be paid for low taxes

J

im Watson ran for re-election on a record of fiscal prudence, and the 2015 city budget is evidence that nothing much will change on that front.

City council and the mayor have once again approved a budget that includes modest property tax increases, keeping the largest bumps to a mere two per cent. This restraint will see Ottawans’ wallets and quality of life take a hit in other places though, as fees were raised and services corralled. Transit fees will increase, taking money out of the pockets of those who can least afford it, and recreation fees will also increase, making swimming lessons and yoga classes more costly for all.

At the same time, these fee increases will only maintain services at current levels, and won’t see residents get any more bang for their buck. With transit, this only adds insult to injury as bus routes were “rationalized� only a of couple years ago, making service less convenient for users.

Adding to the burden, the property tax restraint has seen city staff and councillors forced into situa-

tions where they must decide which projects will be funded and which must be put off for another year. In south Ottawa for example, a play structure scheduled for replacement at Calzavara Family Park has been put off because the expected money isn’t available.

It’s difficult to see why in an affluent city like Ottawa, where incomes are well above the national average and residents are highly educated, needs to be placed on a municipal revenue IV drip. Residents don’t want to see cherished services like parks, community centres, arenas, pools, and libraries fall into disrepair for years so that politicians can boast of their economic acumen.

Down the road in Toronto, taxes are rising 2.25 per cent, which will provide funding for “important new investments in services and infrastructure,� according to Mayor John Tory, along with stable transit fares and free rides for children under 12.

It shouldn’t take too much creativity for Ottawa to match such ambition, and wouldn’t cost tax payers too much more. It would just involve letting go of a bit of cherished dogma.

We just want our fair share here in Ottawa

W

hen you think about it, it’s rather amazing that Ottawa could be neglected by the very politicians who spend most of their time here.

The thought arises out of a recent article about the travels of the prime minister. It is thought, perhaps not cynically, that the places he visits are those that have the most importance for him and his party in the coming federal election. With that in mind, considerable emphasis was placed on the fact that 20 of his 41 Canadian events since September have been in the Toronto area.

No emphasis at all was placed on the fact that two of those 41 events took place in Ottawa.

Well, of course it’s partly natural.

For them, Ottawa will always be the place where they go to meetings for a few days a week before heading out to the airport to resume the serious business of making promises to people in other places.

Now, a couple of Ottawa ridings, Ottawa West-Nepean and Ottawa Centre, have been known, in recent history, to change parties. It’s not certain that they benefitted greatly from this. Perhaps you could argue that light rail in the west end is a benefit in which the feds were peripherally involved. As for Ottawa Centre, what?

We don’t ask for much, here in the capital, just a few grand gestures that tell us we matter. A bridge, for example: what about a nice bridge over the Ottawa River for the longsuffering people who live out Nepean way? Nothing tells constituents they matter like a bridge.

What else would we like? It doesn’t necessarily have to be something material. Sometimes just a little symbolism can go a long way – like the prime minister choosing a location in our city as the backdrop for a major policy announcement.

Such symbolic initiatives need not come from the government alone. It would please us if one of the opposition parties choose an Ottawa backdrop – one of our Tim Hortons, say – to announce one of those homey little plans to comfort the middle class.

Hockey front and centre for teacher Continued from page 1

He said the lack of frozen ponds didn’t seem to matter to the kids.

“They were passionate, they had a ton of interest,” Paron said. “But they’d never had the funding or the access to the rinks.

Some kids would travel 200 kilometres to play a game. The cost to play is double there.”

Heading back to Canada, Paron promised himself he would one day bring a minor hockey team to visit his host country.

He made good on that goal in 2014, putting together a 27-strong group of players and parents from the Leitrim Hawks and Gloucester Rangers.

After two years of planning and fundraising, the Maple Maniacs touched down in Australia to begin their tour of games against local teams in summer 2014.

“I wanted to give back to the community that was good to me,” he said.

And now Australia is reciprocating; Paron said teams from Sydney and Brisbane hope to play in the Bell Capital Cup next year. Paron said that’s what Molson liked so much about his story.

“Our game is becoming an international sport,” he said.

“Now I am a liaison and I’m bringing Australian teams here.

The premise from Molson was they wanted to give back to the people who give to hockey.”

HOCKEY HISTORY

Paron said he grew up playing pond hockey in the 1970s in the Niagara region.

He played with minor hockey leagues all through his childhood and adolescence, until he joined the Australian semi-professional league in university.

He’s now a coach with the Leitrim Hawks Minor Hockey Association, and a founding coach of the hockey program at St. Mark in 2000.

Both the boys’ and girls’ teams won their seasons this year.

“It’s at a point now where we have students who come to St. Mark and the first thing they ask is, ‘When are tryouts for the hockey team?’” Paron said.

on the seniors’ residence he’s building across the square on another former city property.

The city had initially asked $600,000 when the building was listed in July 2013.

The property is zoned for a number of uses, including a retail store, bed and breakfast, artist studio, office, restaurant, small batch brewery, service or repair shop or even a home.

Offers are being accepted until May 1, and will be considered on a 100-point system that includes 25 points for how well the proposal fits with the culture and tourism vision for the square.

While there is no longer a minimum bid required, 40 points will be awarded to the highest bidder.

Another 10 points are available for the inclusion of community benefits and proposed partnerships with local nonprofit groups.

The city has already sold two properties, 1125 Clapp Ln. to Princiotta and the Weaver House to the owners of Peppermint Spa. Dickinson House, a community museum run by the Rideau Township Historical society, and the carriage shed where Watson’s Mill staff have their offices have not yet been listed again after they didn’t sell during the first round of sales.

Have your say on central library vision

Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

The Ottawa Public Library wants a better central branch for the nation’s capital, but first it needs to find out what residents define as “better.”

Library staff is inviting residents to participate in a visioning exercise this month that will help planners figure out what kinds of spaces and functions library users would like to see included in a new main library.

Elaine Condos, the library’s facilities and business services manager, said staff already made a few assumptions about the shifting needs of library users, but they need the public to confirm whether or not

they’re on the right track.

“What we see with (other) libraries consistently is less space for collections, more space for the public, more group and quiet study spaces,” Condos said. “People want to be able to collaborate and create.”

The library has been considering the possibility of building a new central library – likely with the help of a private partner – since last summer. This is the first time the public has been asked to weigh in on what that new facility might include.

Simple changes staff assumes have unanimous support include reliable Wi-Fi access – something the 41-yearold building at 120 Metcalfe St. just can’t provide because of its outdated concrete infrastructure.

Condos said a new main library would need to be flexible enough to evolve as technology and community needs change into the future.

“As a library would age, you want to be able to repurpose your space,” she said.

Looking at other central libraries in Canada, Condos said staff know that simply housing books is a thing of the past.

“We’re not looking for a future facility that would be a warehouse for physical material,” she said. “We’re looking for a community space.”

The newly-opened Halifax Central Library has become one of Ottawa’s top models in that regard.

“It’s described as the living room for the community, and that’s what we’ve always talked about,” Condos said.

There are three ways the public can get involved in the discussion: attend a public consultation at city hall, participate in an online forum, or visit the main branch.

The public consultation will be held at city hall on March 31 from 7 to 9 p.m.

Registration is already open at ottawacentrallibrary.ca, and Condos said the meeting can accommodate about 200 people. After a brief presentation, participants will break out into groups with library facili-

tators to talk about the types of services and spaces they’d like to see in the updated main library.

For those who can’t get to the consultation, they can watch it live online at ottawacentrallibrary.ca and then submit their feedback until April 6.

And main branch users can leave their comments right on site between March 21 and 27, when staff will set up an “idea board” on the ground floor.

“We’ll have big pieces of paper that people can write their ideas on,” Condos said.

“Halifax did something similar; they called it a graffiti board. We want to try and get input from as many people as possible.”

Condos said that this is just the first round of public consultation, to get a sense of functional requirements.

“There will be many other opportunities for consultations” to discuss locations, private partnerships and detailed site plans later in the

process, she said.

LONG TIME COMING

The possibility of replacing or renovating the crumbling main library downtown has been on the radar for several years.

The city abandoned its plans to build a new structure in 2010, in favour of trying to fix up the current branch.

But a report published last July found the existing building would require $40 million in renovations to just get the library up to 21st century standards, and as much as $70 million to expand the space enough to offer a full range of uses for its 14,000 weekly visitors.

The functional program space requirement for a modern central library is 130,000 square feet, and the current facility has only 98,000 usable square feet, according to the report.

Since the options would require so much money for

relatively little in return, the library board directed staff at the time to analyze the options for building a central library at a new site, and to report back in 2015.

During last fall’s municipal election, Mayor Jim Watson supported that idea, campaigning on the concept of partnering with the private sector to build a new main library for the city. He promised to push for its inclusion in the council’s term priorities for 2015-2018.

The library has already hired a consultant group to draft the business case for how the city might move forward in a public-private partnership.

Condos said the business case and the findings from the public consultations this month, as well as a functional requirements report, will go to the library board in June.

“This information will support a recommendation on next steps for central library planning,” she said.

Fury kick it up for sophomore season 13 returning players, 8 new faces on professional team Chris Whan

With outdoor fields still under snow, the Ottawa Fury have been practicing at Complexe BranchaudBriere – in a heated fieldhouse – in preparation for the upcoming season.

Returning head coach Marc Dos Santos is looking forward to a new

season and won’t let the burden of injury take away from the Fury’s inaugural season.

“I think it had more to do with lack of experience in the league as opposed to injuries,” said Dos Santos.

“When you have everybody healthy it helps a lot but we were the expansion team last year.”

Dos Santos hopes the 13 guys returning from last years’ squad will help strengthen bonds and mean they’ll be used to the style of play the Fury follows.

The Ottawa squad plays in the 10-team North American Soccer League, finishing sixth in the spring season last year, and ninth in the fall season.

GREAT SCOT

Nicholas Paterson was out for most of last season with a torn MCL, suffered during the opening game.

He says that’s not going to stop him as he feels “very confident” in how he’s going to play this season.

“I worked really hard and I feel 100 per cent,” said Paterson.

Paterson was born in Scotland, beginning his professional career there for Motherwell Football Club.

Asked whether he’s gotten used to calling the game “soccer” yet, Paterson replied, “I don’t think I’ll ever get used to that. ‘Soccer ball’ just sounds weird to me.”

The Fury begin their pre-season against the Rochester Rhinos on March 13 and their regular season begins April 4 when they visit the Carolina RailHawks.

The Fury’s first home game at TD Place is April 18 versus Minnesota United FC.

Confederation Line West Light Rail Transit (LRT) Extension 100 Day Working Group Solution Open House Monday, March 30, 2015 Jean Pigott Place, City Hall 110 Laurier Avenue West 5 to 8 p.m.

Presentation at 6:30 p.m.

Further to the joint announcement between the City of Ottawa and the National Capital Commission’s (NCC) 100 Day Working Group, you are invited to an Information Session to review and provide feedback on the proposed alignment between Dominion and Cleary Stations.

At the Information Session you will have the opportunity to view the preferred solution, which is to allow the City’s Confederation Line West LRT extension to run fully buried under the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway. This integrated transit solution meets the NCC’s criteria, while protecting the Byron Linear Park and Rochester Field, and meeting the City of Ottawa’s affordability requirements. It also advances the creation of a waterfront linear park.

The Confederation Line West extension is one of three environmental assessment studies currently underway as part of Stage 2 (Ottawa.ca/stage2), the City’s plan to add 19 new stations and 30 kilometres of rail farther east, west and south of the City.

Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accommodation, please call or e-mail the project lead below.

If you are not available to attend the Information Session or would like additional information, please visit the study web site at ottawa.ca/stage2 or direct your comments and questions to the contact person below. The Information Session presentation material will be posted to the study web site.

Reasons why every child Summer should attend summer camp Drama Camps and youth workshops Matt Barr

Camps Canada

Camp is a place where positive memories are made that last a lifetime If adults that have attended summer camps as children are asked what their fondest childhood memories are, it is often found that they recollect and share their camp memories.

Camp memories are created every year because of the great experiences shared by campers while at camp but more importantly because of the other campers and staff who share those experiences together with them. Long after campers “graduate” from the camp experience, after they say that last goodbye on the last day of their last year at camp, they fondly recall the cabin-mates and counsellors that provided them with the activities they experienced every summer.

!! !! !! !!

Camp is a place where strong relationships are formed Although no formal study has been done, there is an oft used statistic kicked around by camp directors these days.

Many of us have observed that many of the weddings we are being invited to are between campers that attended our camps decades prior and that the frequency of divorces in these marriages are staggeringly low.

Now this can be a very unnerving thought for first time camp parents sending their little six year old off to day camp for the first time but it does illustrate a very important point: it appears that as a result

of the depth of experience of attending summer camp, the relationships formed there are stronger and more meaningful than most others formed in a child’s lifespan. This is not to say that parents should send their children to camp in hopes of them finding a spouse!

However, when children play together, laugh together, are challenged together, sing together, and live together, what ends up happening is that they grow together and with that grow closer to one another learning the values of friendship and community in a way that cannot be duplicated in other summer settings.

Camp is a place where campers enjoy the outdoors Ontario is beautiful country and nothing inspires its discovery more than the camp experience.

Whether campers are hiking through forested hills, swimming in freshwater lakes, gazing at the setting sun, playing in open fields, or meeting its friendly wildlife, camp’s everyday activities often give rise for a love of this land.

The direct impact of this is an evident environmental conscientiousness among campers who learn to clean up their mess when at camp.

Camp is place where “lifelong learnables” are learned In this age of hockey practices, piano lessons, MCAT preps, computer courses, and math tutors, all of which can be important features in a child’s development, camp offers the venue to learn the “bigger” skills – the ones that can’t be learned in any classroom. ! yourself if you feel that Ask ! turns is a skill… how taking

about being nice to people around you… what would you say about working as a team – is that a skill? Camp is a place where these skills and so many more are “practiced” so regularly but in a way in which campers don’t even realize this is happening.

The camp environment, free from the regimented systems of many other learning environments, is in fact a place where children learn… but in a way that is comfortable and meaningful, and whose lessons are arguably the most important a child will be taught in their entire life.

But the larger, and equally important result is a greater social consciousness in children, and an awareness that they are a part of something bigger… that their actions affect others in both the short and long term.

This summer, there is an epic adventure waiting for you...

Camp is a place where campers find balance

Regardless of a particular camp focus, camp activities often balance competitive and cooperative, land and water, outside and in the shade, athletic and creative. When we get too hot, we get a drink of water and go into the shade.

When we’ve been playing a lot of team sports, we refocus on individual challenge and achievement.

The concept of balance is one often spoken about, but seldom modelled for young people today.

We often find ourselves commenting in front of our children how we wish we could work less, sleep more, eat better, and exercise more frequently… At camp, balance is practiced and as a result enjoyed by its campers.

WEEK-LONG JR. CAMP A week of PGA

As a clinical child psychologist and an educator it has long been our belief that the traditional 10-month school year - September to June - makes no sense for today’s children.

The schedule was established when children were needed to help on the family farm and bring in the harvest during the summer months.

By the mid 20th century our society had become primarily urban and two months of school vacation meant just one thing: eight weeks of unscheduled “free time”. For this reason summer camps emerged as a popular way to keep children entertained and busy during the school holidays.

However, the benefits of a well-run summer camp are much more far reaching. If the programme is well planned and structured , the activities can be fun for the children but also build skills and foster positive social and emotional growth, learning, and adventure.

Being exposed to new experiences and encouraged by friendly and sympathetic

adults to try new things helps the child build self-confidence.

True self-esteem comes from doing something new and difficult and succeeding.

Interacting with others in a well run summer camp gives children a chance to learn respect for others, teamwork, kindness, and honesty and they have fun while they learn!

Skills learned at camp are then transferred to the classroom during the regular academic year.

Attendance at a summer camp teaches children to work together more cooperatively, to resolve conflicts more effectively, to assume greater responsibility, and to become more self-reliant and self-confident.

We are convinced that it is critical for children to be involved in structured activities during the summer months.

A well-run camp programme provides the child with learning experiences that are not possible in a traditional classroom. Summer camp is one of the few placesthwhere children can experience and satisfy their need for physical activity, creative expression, and true

participation in a safe environment. While at camp children learn about living, working, and playing together and making positive contributions to their community. They acquire first hand multi-sensory knowledge of the natural world.

Going to camp gives the child much more than a vacation. Living, playing and sharing adventures together help the child develop into a healthy, physically fit and productive adult. At camp, children gain self-confidence and self-esteem, and learn social skills of positive interaction that stay with them for a lifetime and spill over into other parts of their lives. The new skills they have mastered and the social and emotional growth they have experienced help them become more successful in school and in other activities. Participation in outdoor activities builds healthy bodies but also healthy minds.

Choosing the right summer camp

R0013172450

Are you in the middle of planning your children’s stay at a summer camp?

Before making your choice, it’s important to ask yourself a few questions. Summer camps, day camps, nature classes and specialized camps are just some of the options open to you and your children. All you have to do is find a camp that will answer their needs and suit your budget.

The length of stay, the quality of the infrastructure and the food, safety, programs offered, the training that the staff receives and the costs of registering will influence your choice.

If your children want to

spend one or more weeks in different surroundings, a summer camp would be ideal. Outdoor activities, hiking trips, excursions, cultural outings and meeting new friends will give them a complete change of scene.

Nights spent in a dormitory or in a tent will be another unique experience.

Perhaps your children prefer to have fun with friends during the day and come home in the evening.

If so, a summer spent at a day camp would be just the thing.

They can join in organized games, go on supervised visits to tourist attractions and spend

afternoons at the pool. The duration of this type of camp can range from one to several weeks.

A specialized camp would give your children the opportunity of perfecting their knowledge in a subject which interests them. Sports, culture and the sciences are among the most popular ones.

For a shorter stay, nature classes offer outdoor programs which are both recreational and educational.

Activities are usually spread over a period of one or two days and include nature studies, climbing, water sports and wilderness survival skills.

German favourite a twist on traditional burger

Ingredients

• 500 g (1 lb) ground veal or ground turkey • 4 slices naturally smoked bacon, very finely chopped • 1 medium apple, peeled, cored

and grated (Cortland, McIntosh or Spy) • Half a red onion, finely diced • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced • 15 ml (1 tbsp) fresh parsley, coarsely chopped • 10 ml (2 tsp) Dijon mustard • 1 egg, lightly beaten • Salt and pepper Curry sauce • 50 ml (1/4 cup) ketchup • 15 ml (1 tbsp) unsweetened applesauce • 5 ml (1 tsp) curry powder • 5 ml (1 tsp) cider vinegar • 12 small rolls or 6 large rolls • Half a red onion, thinly sliced • 6 lettuce leaves Preparation

In a bowl, combine the veal, bacon, apple, diced on-

ion, garlic, parsley, mustard, egg, and salt and pepper to taste. Divide evenly into 6 or 12 portions, and form into patties.

Place the patties on a greased grill or grill pan on medium-low heat. Close the cover and cook for five minutes. Turn and cook covered for 15 to 20 minutes, turning at least one more time, until a digital meat thermometer inserted sideways into the centre reads 71 C (160 F) for veal or 85 (185 F) for turkey.

For the curry sauce, combine the ketchup, applesauce, curry powder and vinegar, and spread the mixture over the bottom half of each bun.

Top with patty and serve with thinly sliced red onion and lettuce leaf.

R0013174610

These juicy, ground Ontario veal sausages are pattyshaped. Rather than being boiled as in the German original called weisswurst, they’re tucked into buns after grilling.

Another popular German sausage dish called currywurst, lends its irresistible curried tomato sauce for spreading on the buns.

You can also cook the burgers in a skillet with 15 ml (1 tbsp) vegetable oil. Preparation time: 20 minutes. Cooking time: 25 minutes. Serves 12 as an appetizer or six as main course.

WEEK IN REVIEW

F

Thank you to the St. James United Church for the invitation to breakfast. It was a nice opportunity to meet new people and reconnect with residents. I also had the chance to provide welcome remarks prior to the Nation Valley ATV Ride for Dad Rally.

It was well attended and I thank the organizers for extending the invitation to this successful fundraising event.

or a long time, it was a complete mystery to me how our neighbours in Northcote knew where the Saturday night house party was to be held.

It was my friend Velma, who, much smarter than I was, said it was because Central simply called everyone on the line and told them!

That made perfect sense to me. After all, Central knew everything that was going on in the area, and she certainly knew everyone’s ring.

And so it was, that Saturday night, supper was early, the kitchen made spotlessly clean, the bake table cleared off, and the chairs pushed back against the wall.

The parlour door had been opened early in the morning.

The braided rug removed from where it sat rolled up tight against the bottom of the door to keep the heat out of the one room in the house unused during the winter unless we had company.

The rug was tucked under the horsehair settee, and by late day we were ready for the Saturday night house party.

The neighbours came in cutters and sleighs, the horses tethered near the drive shed, with heavy blankets thrown over their backs.

Carrying baskets of food, which my sister Audrey took with a hearty “thank you”, and then piling it all on the

As most of you know the culmination of months of budget work came to Council on Wednesday for discussion and approval.

Although, the documentation is very extensive I would like to offer a few highlights for Osgoode Ward residents: Residential property taxes will be increased by 2% for 2015. On average, this works out to be an approximately annual increase of $55 for rural residents and $67 for urban residents (using a house value assessment of $355,000)

s

Approval received for resurfacing project for Swale Road (from Snake Island to Dalmeny)

s

Greely Village Centre Park Phase 2 funding has been approved

s

Replacement of six bridges in the Ward

s

Phase 2 has been approved for the drainage deficiencies in Osgoode Village along Lion St, Leroy St. and Robert Dowd St.

I would like to also remind residents that the following roads will be resurfaced as they were approved during the 2014 Budget. These include: Nixon Drive, Gregoire Road, Marionville Road, and the 2nd Lift of Gordon Murdock Road.

Another important meeting this week was Audit Committee. I am a committee member and I was very interested in the 2013 Annual Report from the City Auditor General. This is a very detailed report and I will be spending the next few days reviewing the documentation as the presentation of the report focussed mainly on some highlights of the investigation. I will provide a summary of the Annual Report next week.

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories cleared- off bake table.

Those who had even a smidgen of talent brought their fiddles and guitars and one neighbour, who couldn’t hold a candle to Mother’s playing, brought his harmonica, a double-reed affair that his daughter told me cost a whole dollar at Scott’s hardware.

It didn’t take long for we youngsters to head upstairs to play in the bedrooms; jacks on the bare floor, Parcheesi in the boys room, and we, the youngest of the girls, playing house with our dolls on one of the beds.

Downstairs cards would have started, and we could hear the kitchen table being slapped and every once in a while someone would yell out “euchre”.

Soon, the music would start, and we would know that the middle of the kitchen floor would have partners for a square ready to break into a square dance, big enough space for only one set.

And the old log house, would be rocking with the music, the feet stomping on the floor, and with good-

natured bantering at the card table.

In the middle of the floor in the big upstairs hall which served as bedroom for my sister and me, was a large round grate circling the stove pipe which came through the floor from the kitchen stove below.

Cecil decided he would see what was going on downstairs, so he stretched out on the floor with his face pressed against the grate.

I have no idea how it happened, but he must have stuck his tongue through one of the small holes in the grate, and he couldn’t get it out. His arms flailed, and his words came out like someone speaking a foreign language.

Audrey bent over him and told him to stop yelling and it would release his tongue.

Well, he either didn’t get the message, or he was too scared to pay any heed.

No one could hear him downstairs because of the music and the loud chatter, so Audrey went down and brought Mother upstairs to see if she could release Cecil’s tongue from the grate.

Finally, she lifted the grate out of the hole in the floor, with it still circling the pipe, and Cecil’s tongue with it.

They sat crossed-legged facing each other, and Mother, holding the grate in one hand, being careful not to move the stove pipe, and with Cecil’s tongue between two fingers in the other, told him to breath in hard, and cough real loud.

Taking in a deep breath to get ready for the cough, caused his tongue to jerk back into his mouth and that finally freed it from the grate.

Well, it was a pretty quiet Cecil after that. He said he had enough of playing upstairs, he was going to go down and watch the dancing and card game.

His tongue was no worse for wear, because when it came time to eat the lunch, Cecil’s plate was piled high with cold pork sandwiches, and not one, but two pieces of chocolate slab cake.

And not one of us was brave enough to bring up the incident ever again. Cecil was a force to be reckoned with, there was no doubt about that!

City rezones Wesley Clover Parks to accommodate Shania Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Just as the euphoria over Shania Twain’s concert announcement has settled into giddy impatience, city councillors have had to act fast to make sure the announcement really wasn’t just a dream.

After it was announced that the Canadian pop country icon would performing at Wesley Clover Parks in Nepean on June 27, staff realized the site is not actually zoned for a concert of that size.

That prompted Coun.

Rick Chiarelli to bring forward an urgent motion at planning committee on March 10 to have staff initiate a one-day rezoning amendment so the concert can go forward “and so that my daughters don’t disown me.”

“It would be a temporary rezoning just applying to this event and this day,” he said. “We have to move quickly so that the concert can go ahead.”

Wesley Clover Parks in the Nepean greenbelt was redeveloped last year when the Wesley Clover Foundation took over the former Nepean National Equestrian Park and the nearby Ottawa municipal campground.

The land is owned by the National Capital Commission, but the foundation operates under a long-term lease.

Along with the equestrian and outdoor activities development going on at the site, the foundation also wants to develop an outdoor concert venue, according to Chiarelli’s motion.

With that in mind, Chiarelli said the NCC might move ahead with the neces-

THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS

sary applications to permanently rezone the park to allow other major attractions in the future if the Shania Twain concert goes well.

While the motion carried, Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais said he’s concerned about these types of one-off temporary zoning amendments – of which there have now been two in less than a week.

He suggested city staff should better communicate current zoning rules to the owners of similar venues around the city so they don’t run into these problems in the future.

The agriculture and rural affairs committee issued a temporary rezoning for the Rideau-Carleton Raceway on March 5 to permit a theatre and campground for one year, to accommodate an event coming to the site at the end of June.

Deciding what the spring will bring, on the farm

M

ocha has been released from the barn-hotel.

Evicted, if you will. She wasn’t in labour after all. We have learned our lesson.

This year, we will write down the date when we see the bull mating with the cows.

Then we will know when to expect the calves. It would probably help if we separated the bull from the cows.

Then on the day they are reunited, we will know to mark it on the calendar. This year we have no idea when the calves are coming.

Mocha is extremely bulbous and huge, bulging out at the sides and swaying to and fro as she walks. She was holding her tail off to the side the other

DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife day, I swear she was.

I pointed this out to the Farmer and he decided to take it as a sign to put her in the barn to await her calf.

Mocha enjoyed shelter from the elements, several days of room service, and rest. But no calf came, so she got kicked out. Now the Farmer walks the barnyard every morning and every night, looking for calves.

We really don’t know how

many cows are pregnant, or who will go first. When one goes into labour we will stick them in the barn for a few days, to give birth and bond with their calf.

At least the weather is warming up so if a calf is born outside the barn, it won’t be as brutally cold. It’s a good thing we don’t have a hundred head of sheep this year because it would be extremely difficult to keep them all watered in the

lambing room.

The pipes to the barn have been frozen for weeks now.

Every day as the temperature creeps up and up the thermometer, we wait for our pipes to thaw out. But the frost is reportedly very deep in the ground this year.

We might be waiting a while. So in the meantime, the Farmer has to drag a garden hose over to the barrel every night and fill it a few times while the cows push each other aside and drink their fill. Maybe it’s teaching the cows to appreciate us more. Because they won’t have water without us.

We almost had a buyer for Misty. Two people have called, interested in giving the beautiful blonde Belgian a home. Unfortunately, at almost 13 years old, most people assume she is already broken. She isn’t.

Misty is untrained, unbroken, green. She loves to follow people around the barnyard,

however. I am hoping that this spring I will have more time to spend with her. I read Monty Roberts book about getting a horse to “join up” and would like to give it a try.

Maybe if I put a lead on her I can get her to follow a few simple commands. It will take time and patience.

And I may need the Farmer to build me a ring with fencing so I will have a captive audience and her undivided attention.

We’ve looked into having her professionally trained but we always seem to find something else on which to spend the $1000.

Most trainers use a whiplike thing to lightly tap the horse on the rump and get her moving in the right direction.

After a few circles of the ring you put the whip up in front of her to stop her, then turn her around the other direction.

She is on a long lead at all

times. And if she refuses to move? Some trainers believe you can get a horse to move her leg just by staring at it, as if your steady gaze makes her uncomfortable. I doubt we’ll ever be able to put a saddle on Misty and go for a trail ride.

But it would be nice to have her follow a few simple instructions.

Then maybe if she gets another invitation to pull a wagon through a sugar bush, we can let her go and give it a try. I think she would enjoy working with another horse, feeling her muscles pushing the yoke and pulling the wagon.

She is a horse, after all. A huge, strong Belgian horse in the prime of life.

Her breed was a war horse.

A work horse. It seems wrong to just let her spend her days as window dressing, a focal point in our landscape painting. But then, she doesn’t seem to be complaining.

For our Parents. For our Children. For Ourselves.

Legacy of Mother Élisabeth Bruyère Continues to Grow.

It is a cold January night. A woman is stranded in a parking lot in west-end Ottawa.

She is sure her car has been stolen. Going to a payphone, she calls home asking her husband for help.

Her husband calls their son and within half an hour they are circling the parking lot in ever-widening circles. It takes a while but eventually they find the car parked in the furthest corner of the lot.

It doesn’t make any sense. Why is the car way over there? Why can’t she remember the long walk across the cold pavement? How long was she in the store? The last couple of hours vanished into thin air.

It is a night her son will never forget.

Unfortunately, it is one she will never remember.

It was a warning signal, but the signs were ignored, brushed under the carpet by the entire family. “It was just a senior’s moment.”

Today she is in the full throes of dementia.

Happy in her own way, but miles away from the woman, mother and wife she was just five years earlier.

Did it have to be this way? Maybe. Is help available? Definitely.

1970: Spending time with her son.

BRUYÈRE CONTINUING CARE The Bruyère Memory Program is just one of many programs designed to help seniors in Ottawa and throughout the valley. It is there to help diagnose early signs of dementia in the hopes of staving off the effects of this debilitating – and costly – disease.

The senior population is growing rapidly. We are all getting older. It is likely you or someone you know will need the services offered at Bruyère. Bruyère does so much for the frail, the elderly and those requiring complex care;

• Bruyère is where a young father recovers from a stroke and goes home after seven months in rehabilitation.

• Bruyère is the place where patients, young and old come to recuperate from major surgery.

• Bruyère is where patients receive the special kind of care their fragile bodies and fertile minds require.

BRUYÈRE RESEARCH INSTITUTE At Bruyère Research Institute, researchers and physicians work tirelessly in discovery of ways to improve patient care. Their work is done locally, benefitting patients in Ottawa and around the world.

CONTINUING THE LEGACY On another cold night, in the middle of February 1845, a young twenty-seven year old woman arrives in Bytown after enduring a two-day journey by horse-drawn sleigh from Montreal.

who supports Bruyère helps others just like she did. Ottawa is such a caring community and we are proud that the name Bruyère is associated with compassionate care.”

Bruyère is there for all of us. To keep people home, to get people home, to rehabilitate, to teach and to learn.

YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS When you support Bruyère, you are helping a woman find her car, a husband to walk again, a family to enjoy more time with their parents and you allow grandparents to enjoy more precious time with their grandchildren.

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue

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

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 A debate forces you to reconsider some long-held opinions. Use this time to reflect on your point of view and if there is anything you might want to change.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Life gets better and better as the week goes on, Taurus. Expect a few obstacles, but remember there’s nothing you cannot tackle, especially when you get some help.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 A situation arises at work that evokes strong emotions among your coworkers. Stay neutral on the issue until you have had enough time to gather more information.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 A recently started relationship is going great, Cancer. Now might be a great time to take the next step with your special someone. Expect this person to share your feelings.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you and a superior at work are seeing eye-to-eye this week. This could mark the beginnings of a great partnership, so continue to work hard.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you will sort out a complex problem in due time. Don’t let any initial struggles to find a solution keep you down. Continue to focus on the bigger picture.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, use this week to address an unresolved issue. Tackle every project thrown your way head-on and with vigor. Others will notice your efforts.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, try not to over-think things this week. Sometimes the simplest solution to a problem is the best solution. Keep this in mind at the office.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, a distraction this week proves so fascinating that you neglect other responsibilities. While you may like a challenge, don’t let it consume your life.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 You yearn for privacy this week, Aquarius. Make the most of any opportunity to seek out a quiet corner and spend some time deep in reflection and thought.
