Photo radar program picks up speed Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The city’s transportation committee set the wheels in motion on May 4 for a photo radar program that will enforce speed limits in some school zones.

The motion, originally the brainchild of River Coun. Riley Brockington,

will petition the province for the power to use photo radar and reduce the speed limit of some residential roads.

The motion gives ward councillors the option to request radar be used in specific neighbourhoods, and reduce the speed of residential roads from 50 kilometres per hour to 40.

are proud to announce

Just before the committee meeting, Mayor Jim Watson, who crafted the original motion with committee chair Coun. Keith Egli, sent out a memo in support of photo radar technology. The only caveat was that it be used in school zones and revenue collected through fines be put in a special account to be used for “road safety” measures.

“I believe this is a solid way forward for those who are hesitant about a wide-scale rollout of photo radar on streets where it may not be warranted,” Watson wrote in the memo. “Or for those who are concerned with the tool being used as a limitless, revenuegenerating measure.”

Despite the fact that the motion – along with an amendment from Osgoode Coun.

George Darouze that asks the province for the power to ticket out-of-province drivers for infractions related to photo radar – passed unanimously, debate lasted five hours.

Brockington, who doesn’t

sit on the transportation committee, said he realizes the issue is a contentious one, but wants the city to start cracking down on speeding.

“It’s about a basic right to safety,” he said. “I will force this city to have a conversation about speeding and what we are going to do about it.”

Chelsey Wynne, who spoke on behalf of the Blackburn Community Association, said her area fears for the safety of their kids, who attend schools off of busy Innes Road.

Wynne said many parents worry about kids walking to school, because of the high speeds of drivers.

Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper said Wynne’s example just highlighted the problem.

“Parents don’t want their kids walking, so they drive them, creating this self-perpetuating cycle,” he said. “We have to deal with the speeding if we are going to improve the situation.”

Many of those who spoke at the meeting felt the pilot program didn’t go far enough.

Kevin O’Donnell, from

Kitchissippi Ward, said he’ll take what’s being offered if it moves the issue forward.

O’Donnell said he remembers a time when he road to Montreal in the family van without a seat belt. He said we wouldn’t think of doing that today, and he hopes to one day look back and say “remember when we used to go 70 (km per hour) in a 40 zone?”

Michael Powell, from Safe Streets Ottawa, said using photo radar isn't re-inventing the wheel, as other jurisdictions have already used the technology.

Powell said the intersection of Booth Street and Gladstone Drive has two schools, daycares and a church. Despite this, people are going significantly above the speed limit. A speed board installed in 2012 showed that 56 per cent of drivers went over the posted limit.

Julianne Vogt, from the Ottawa Safety Council – which is responsible for staffing the city’s adult crossing guards and the heads of the walking school bus program, said

crossing guards are the eyes on the city’s roadways.

“They know speed is an issue,” she said, adding the organization has “a lot of little feet to protect.”

A staff report, presented by the manager of traffic services, said Quebec – which has photo radar across the province – has seen compliance with the posted speed limit catapult to 85 per cent from 40 where the radars are being used.

Phil Landry said it will take a year for city staff to develop a plan for the pilot project once the approvals are in place.

He added it would take another two years for staff to have the metrics from the program to determine the level of success. Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt expressed concern about signage and potential reallocation of police officers as a result of the technology.

“I wouldn't want to see this take the place of officers on the roads,” Moffatt said, “because it’s about changing behaviours.”

Dickinson Square opens for the season May 21 Watson’s Mill, Dickinson House and the Carriage House to feature dozens of events this summer Kelly Kent

kkent@metroland.com

The windows to Manotick’s richest historical stories are opening for another season May 21.

Both Watson’s Mill and Dickinson House will embark on their 2016 seasons on Saturday, May 21, beginning what is sure to be a busy summer.

“We’re always busy. Every year,” said Maureen McPhee, curator of Dickinson House. “We have a lot to offer in Dickinson Square.”

WATSON’S MILL

Thousands of visitors flock to the mill at 5525 Dickinson Street every year, to absorb the deep history that the building represents.

Watson’s Mill has stood

at Watson’s Mill, and it still plays a significant role in the town’s cultural fabric.

“Watson’s Mill is unique as it is one of the only operational industrial heritage sites in the Ottawa region,” states a release from the mill.

In addition to milling demonstrations, which are offered on Sundays between 1 and 3 p.m., Watson’s Mill also offers a full agenda of other activities throughout the season.

Each day, Watson’s Mill provides guided tours of the historic site between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. There is also a daily used book sale be-

tween 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. On Saturdays, the mill hosts the Manotick Farmers’ Market between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Throughout the season, the mill hosts dozens of unique events that bring in locals and tourists alike.

Aside from their usual rotation of events – such as the Queen Victoria Tea on May 21, the Dominion Day celebrations on July 1, the Heritage Country Fair on Sept. 3 and their Christmas Market in December – the mill has added a few new occasions to their plate this year.

Registration for the event begins at 8 a.m. at Moncion’s and is $30 per rider. This fee includes a continental breakfast and a barbecue lunch as well as access to the ride.

Afterwards, during the barbecue, Ride for Her will also host a silent auction and a raffle. The raffle will include a new barbecue, provided by Moncion’s, and a handcrafted, 3-foot wooden cooler that Ozen said is perfect for backyard parties.

While participation in the ride itself is encouraged for as many riders as possible, Ozen said that families, friends and residents are welcome to join

the barbecue and auctions for a $10 donation. Raffle tickets can also be purchase for $10 for one or $20 for three.

Last year, both the Snowmobile Style Ride for Her and the Motorcycle Ride for Her raised a total of $4,800 for Ovarian Cancer Canada.

This year, Ozen said that she is hoping to crack the $6,000 mark. With more than $2,200 raised at the winter event earlier this year, she said they are well on track to do that.

“It gets bigger every year,” she said of the event. The motorcycle ride saw 38 participants in its first year and 70 last year. This year Ozen said she believes there will be around 150 riders.

Even non-motorcyclists can get involved, she added, saying that locals are welcome to line Manotick Main Street around 11:45 a.m., when riders are expected to be coming through, to cheer them on.

Thousands to visit historic Dickinson Square this season Continued from page 3

On Aug. 25, Eagen said that Watson’s Mill will host a Live History Theatre event. A group of theatre participants will put on a production of local history that is significant to both the mill and to Manotick.

DICKINSON HOUSE

To visit Dickinson House is to step back in time to Manotick’s roots.

Dickinson House, one of the cornerstones of Manotick’s Dickinson Square, was built in 1867 by Moss Kent Dickinson, the same man who built Watson’s Mill, as a residence for his family.

Maureen McPhee, curator of the house today, said it’s changed hands a few times since then but has always been an iconic symbol of the area’s history.

Now, Dickinson House is operated by the Rideau Township Historical Society as an interactive attraction that focuses on its past.

Starting on Saturday, May 21 when the house opens for the season, daily tours of Dickinson House will be offered by volunteers from the Historical Society.

Volunteers dress in period costumes from the time Dickinson and his family lived in the house, between 1870 and 1930.

The house is set up as it would

New this year, Dickinson House will feature an exhibit on their third floor, called “Trades and Professions in Old Manotick.”

McPhee said it will showcase some of the major professions held by settlers on Manotick, such as milling.

have been during that time, and guests have a unique opportunity to glimpse what life was like for one of Manotick’s original founders.

Dickinson House offers a variety of special events throughout the season as well, some independently and some in conjunction with Watson’s Mill.

On opening day, Dickinson House will host their annual Queen Victoria Tea, made all the more special because the Queen (played

Justin Beaver released with a splash, back home in Osgoode Linda Laurus

Justin the beaver was admitted to the Rideau Valley Wildlife Sanctuary last December after he was found dehydrated and thin in a resident’s Osgoode backyard.

Justin Beaver, affectionately nicknamed by the media, made the national news last winter after the sanctuary tweeted for a volunteer driver to transfer him to the Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary in Rosseau. Mary Herbert of Stittsville answered the call of the wild and offered to make the 800 km round trip.

“Rehabbers from all over Ontario routinely work together and transport animals to rehab centres better equipped to care for a particular species,” says Linda Laurus, founder of the Rideau Valley Wildlife Sanctuary. The folks at Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary graciously agreed to care for Justin over the winter in their specially built beaver habitat.

Regulations require that wildlife be released close to where they were found so, now healthy and able to survive on his own in the wild, Justin made his way back home to Osgoode for release.

Stuart and Tiina Musson of Kanata, long-time volunteers at the Rideau Valley Wildlife Sanctuary, offered to make a special trip to Rosseau to bring Justin back home to Osgoode.

“There are many regulations and precautions we must follow to ensure that wildlife do not become accustomed to their human caretakers, and remain healthy and stress-free during their rehabilitation,” says Laurus.

The Mussons arrived at a conservation area on the Rideau River with their precious cargo safely in a cage in the back seat, covered with a befitting Justin Bieber blanket to

At the release site, Laurus opened the cage door and Justin quietly wandered onto the sandy beach and into the water. With a fantastic tail slap, he dove beneath the surface, then cruised the shoreline for about 15 minutes and

Photo radar is coming, you can count on it

W

ho would argue about the safety of kids? It’s a no-brainer, and no one would dare.

Bravo to those who want to introduce the money machine known as photo radar to the streets of Ottawa.

By cracking open the door to photo radar by using the old standby – we must do it to save the kids – the City of Ottawa’s transportation committee has tapped the gas and surged toward green-lighting photo radar as a traffic enforcement tool.

On May 4, the committee recommended council ask the province for permission to use photo radar. At this point photo radar in Ottawa is being called a “pilot project” and would only be used in school zones.

And any revenue generated would be dedicated to a “road safety” fund. The issue was slated to go to council on May 11.

“I believe this is a solid way forward for those who are hesitant about a wide-scale rollout of photo radar on streets where it may not be warranted,” Mayor Jim Watson wrote in a memo in support of taking this route.

“Or for those who are concerned with the

tool being used as a limitless, revenue-generating measure.”

Those hesitant, concerned people once seemed to include Watson. But the safety of kids is the issue now, not an enforcement tool that does absolutely nothing to stop a speeding driver from motoring along on their merry way. Photo radar is a “the bill is in the mail” traffic enforcement option.

The city still needs the province’s approval to move forward with its photo radar scheme, but it does have local MPP Yasir Naqvi, a provincial cabinet minister, in its corner.

Yes, the former Mike Harris government did cancel photo radar use in the past, but that was a rare instance of government giving up a revenue stream.

And yes, if photo radar returns, keeping it to school zones would seem the least objectionable way to go.

The question is do you really trust a government to get its hands on a revenue tool, and stick to the narrow application of that tool?

History suggests the answer to that is a lot different than what we are hearing from city hall these days.

A tip of the hat to servers

E

very once in a while a major restaurant in Canada or the U.S. announces that it is abolishing tipping.

There inevitably follows a widespread discussion in the news media in which various people weigh in on the evils of tipping and why it should be abolished.

No one has made a convincing case yet.

Among the arguments you hear are these: • Tipping doesn’t happen in other jobs.

• Tipping doesn’t happen in many foreign countries.

• Tipping the server is unfair to other restaurant employees, such as cooks, who work hard but don’t receive tips.

• The tips don’t reach the server anyway, but are scattered about to cover other restaurant costs.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town • And maybe the owners get them.

• Tipping is inconvenient to customers, who have to figure out what 15 per cent is and avoid the embarrassment of under- or overtipping.

Although some of the other arguments may have validity here and there, it is probably the last that means the most to people.

People don’t like having to tip, some of them for the reasons above, some of them because they’re just cheap.

But that’s not a valid reason to

abolish tipping.

The valid reason to abolish tipping will come when servers are paid a decent wage and don’t need to rely on tips to bring their incomes to a livable level.

Hardly anyone would argue that we are there yet. Wages are low, held down, in some cases by the existence of tips. But it does not logically follow that abolishing tipping would cause wages to go up, does it?

And while it is certainly true in some cases that the entirety of a tip does not reach the person for which it was intended, it is next to impossible to rectify that situation. Just think what it would take to enforce that.

While some look wistfully to other countries, such as in Europe, that do not have tipping, they should look carefully too.

Serving has a higher status there than here, and servers are paid better.

So if we want to adopt the Eu-

ropean model, we have to adopt the entire European model, which means higher wages.

Higher wages for servers probably means, and should mean, higher wages for other restaurant employees.

In turn, these mean higher prices on the menu. Will the people who want to abolish tipping eagerly accept that?

It would be good if they did.

Having to rely on tips is not a pleasant situation for people in the serving professions.

But having to get by without them is even less pleasant, unless their job pays them more money.

It is not a dilemma that is easily resolved. A drastic change in attitudes on the part of owners is called for.

Maybe it will come. There are signs that it will. But it won’t happen tomorrow.

There are some years ahead in which the tipping option will still be presented to us, the consumers.

When you think about it, the consumers, the people at the table, have the least at stake in this dispute.

It does not make a huge impact on our lives whether we add a few dollars to a bill or not.

So why are some of us getting so self-righteous about it? Just leave the tip and move on.

Carp girl makes bridle charms for charity Chestnut Charms buys hay for Greely therapy horses A young Carp girl is making and selling bridle charms for a therapeutic riding stable in Greely.

Eleven-year-old Erin Wormald started

making charms a year ago and selling them to family and friends. She decided to take it a step further this year and partnered with the Therapeutic Riding Association of Ottawa-Carleton (TROtt) to raise funds for the charity.

Every $10 Chestnut Charm sold pays for one bale of hay for a therapy

horse, she said.

“We’re very happy to have (Erin’s) support,” said Fiona Kearney, TROtt program co-ordinator.

“Fundraising is what keeps us running and allows us to keep costs low for riders. Donations also enable us to feed the horses and pay vet bills and buy the special equipment we need.”

Expropriations Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. E.26.

NOTICE OF APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL TO EXPROPRIATE LAND IN THE MATTER OF an application by the City of Ottawa for approval to expropriate the lands described in Schedule A attached hereto for the purposes of undertaking the extension of Brian Coburn Boulevard (the “Brian Coburn Boulevard Project”) from Navan Road to Mer Bleue Road, including facilitating the construction, use, operation, installation and maintenance of a new roadway, new storm sewers, a multi-use pathway, roundabouts, street lighting, pedestrian crossings, landscaping, grading and relocation of any utilities and all other improvements and works ancillary to the Brian Coburn Boulevard Project; The Property Sketches referred to in Schedule A forming part of this Notice, are available for viewing during regular business hours at the City’s Client Service Centre, 1st Floor, City Hall, City of Ottawa, 110 Laurier Avenue West.

TROtt offers therapeutic riding to people with disabilities at a discounted cost.

Riders pay $40 a class, less than half of what it costs to put a horse in the ring. The rest of the organization’s costs are funded through donations as it receives no government funding.

“We’re looking forward to this endeavour,” said Nepean’s Victoria Andrew, TROTT’s director of operations. “For every time a charm is sold it equals a bale of hay for TROtt.” And with 12 horses to feed, hay becomes expensive.

TROTT

The therapeutic riding centre sees an average of 55 riders a week and has about 150 volunteers who lend a hand. Each class has one to four participants and the

centre, in its 41st year, sees riders as young as three and up into their 70s take lessons.

Therapeutic riding helps people with disabilities develop muscle strength, as well as flexibility and coordination, said Kearney, who lives in Barrhaven.

The instructors – all certified through the Canadian Therapeutic Riding Association – work with each rider to set and reach specific goals.

Erin has been riding for six years after her doctor at CHEO (Children’s Hospice of Eastern Ontario) recommended it to help strengthen her knees.

Since then, she’s fallen in love with riding and horses have become her favourite animal.

The Grade 5 student at Kanata elementary French public school in Morgan’s Grant said she makes the charms in her spare time – when she’s not riding or do-

ing homework – and makes up the design as she goes along.

Erin has also partnered with Performance Horse and Rider, a shop located on the grounds of Wesley Clover Park where she rides, to sell her charms.

“I’m very proud of her,” said Erin’s mother Linda. “She’s enthused and thinking of more ways she can raise money for TROtt. She’s finding creative ways.”

For more information, search “Chestnut Charms” on Facebook or email chestnutcharms@gmail.com.

For more information on the Therapeutic Riding Association of Ottawa-Carleton, visit trott.ncf.ca.

Performance Horse and Rider is located on the Wesley Clover Park grounds at 401 Corkstown Rd. in Nepean. Charms cost $10 and are cash only. For details, email heather@performancehorseandrider.com or call 613-271-6305.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that application has been made for approval to expropriate the lands described in Schedule A attached hereto.

Any owner of lands in respect of which notice is given who desires an inquiry into whether the taking of such land is fair, sound and reasonably necessary in the achievement of the objectives of the expropriating authority shall so notify the approving authority in writing, (a) in the case of a registered owner, served personally or by registered mail within thirty (30) days after the registered owner is served with the notice, or, when the registered owner is served by publication, within thirty (30) days after the first publication of the notice; (b) in the case of an owner who is not a registered owner, within thirty (30) days after the first publication of the notice.

The approving authority is: The Council of the City of Ottawa 110 Laurier Ave. W. Ottawa ON K1P 1J1.

The expropriating authority is: City of Ottawa 110 Laurier Ave. W. Ottawa ON K1P 1J1.

Manotick Village president says Leitrim Road plan should be reworked Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

A plan to widen and realign Leitrim Road from River Road to Bank Street should be reworked, said Manotick Village Community Association president Klaus Beltzner.

Beltzner made a presentation at the May 4 transportation committee meeting.

The committee approved the statement of work that will get the ball rolling on an environmental assessment for the project.

The 2013 transportation master plan identifies the widening of Leitrim Road to four lanes, between River and Albion roads.

The staff report says despite the fact that the work isn’t on the city’s books until beyond 2031, developing in the area is encroaching on the city’s ultimate plan and a study is required to identify and protect the corridor for the future widening.

The Barrett Lands development proposals are underway for a residential community abutting Leitrim Road and south between Albion and Bank Street. The study would identify and protect a corridor for the roadway, the report says.

ottawa

Beltzner said there’s already enough pressure for River Road without widening Leitrim. He also said a proposed bridge on Leitrim, as part of phase two of the Trillium Line would have to be rebuilt if the road is realigned.

“It would have to be rebuilt, so it’s basically a throw away bridge,” he said.

Staff confirmed a new bridge would have to be constructed if the road is realigned, but said it would likely happen 10 years after LRT was in place.

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt made a pitch for the widening of Earl Armstrong Road before Leitrim.

“Do both of them need to be four lanes,” he asked. “That seems like an overbuild for that part of town.”

Moffat acknowledged both projects were a way’s off. “According to the 2008 transportation master plan, I should have been driving on a four-lane road to work today,” Moffatt said, alluding to the planned expansion of Prince of Wales Drive.

Council will still have to approve the statement of work for the environmental assessment.

FEATURE | What Will Your Legacy Be? We all reach a stage in life when we think about what it’s all meant. Why were we here? What was the purpose of this life? What have we left behind?

Most of us want to be remembered for our best qualities. We want to be remembered for our generosity, our integrity and for giving back. We also want to be remembered for our loving relationships – with our family, friends and neighbours. Some of us also want to be remembered for extending our love of neighbour to people we’ve never met.

This is why people in our community choose to leave a gift in their will to the Kemptville District Hospital Foundation.

Legacy gifts are one of the reasons we have such a great Hospital in Kemptville. A single bequest can make a tremendous impact and over the years, the Hospital has been able to purchase state-of-the-art equipment, refurbish operating rooms and provide much needed specialized equipment thanks to Legacy gifts.

Every gift makes a difference Your donation helps provide our doctors and nurses with the tools they need to care for you, your family and friends, when it matters most, close to home Thank you for supporting the Kemptville District Hospital Foundation

To make your donation please call Mary at 613-258-6133 ext. 157 16 Manotick News - Thursday, May 12, 2016

Just recently the Foundation received notice of a $121,000 bequest from a long-time supporter. This funding will go directly to build new clinical space so we can bring specialists from Ottawa to serve us here in Kemptville.

“I have included the Kemptville District Hospital Foundation in my will. Not only have I been a patient there but my entire family has, at some point in time, required care there. I want the Hospital to be there for my grandchildren and their children.” Joan, patient “We are very fortunate to have access to care in our own backyard. I need mammograms on an annual basis and the Hospital‘s mammography suite is top notch. They provide spa robes instead of hospital gowns, kind and caring technologists, new state of the art digital mammography technology, and extended hours that fit my schedule”, Nora, grateful patient. I am a donor now and intend to leave a gift in my will to benefit the next generation of technology for the women and their families in my community.”

“When you leave a bequest, you can create a “named fund” after your loved ones,” said Ms. Mavis. “Most importantly, it’s a way for families to leave a legacy in support of an institution that’s important to them,” said Ms. Mavis, Executive Director, Kemptville District Hospital Foundation.

“We can’t thank people enough for their support of the Hospital through a Legacy gift.”

If you would like more information on leaving a Legacy gift in your will, please call Joanne at 613-258-6133, ext. 185.

Thank You!

Photojournalist joins Metroland news team Emma Gardner

emma.gardner@metroland.com

I come from the small town of Arthur, Ont., northwest of Toronto, and moved to Belleville right after high school to complete the photojournalism program at Loyalist College.

Now I’m starting an internship with Metroland Media for a period of three weeks.

When I was little I wanted to be a novelist.

I wanted to write and travel the world, but I needed something else to go with writing and travelling. I had always had an eye for the arts and a way of seeing the world differently. Someone suggested I check out photojournalism and it clicked.

After I decided I was going into photojournalism I asked a local photographer if she could teach me some tricks of the trade. She had me take some photos of her kids.

Then I advanced to maternity photos and by the end of the summer I had accompanied her to a wedding as the second photographer. Since then I have done a second wedding, baby photos, portraits, landscapes and events.

I’m naturally an introverted person and I knew going into this line of work that it was really going to push me out

FIND THE RIGHT

CANDIDATE TODAY WITH YOUR LOCAL RECRUITMENT SPECIALISTS!

Emma Gardner of my comfort zone. I had a hard time trying to motivate myself when I was in school.

I was the youngest in my class and didn’t really know how the world worked and I was constantly comparing myself to my classmates.

By the end of the second year my confidence in myself and my work had gone up.

I recently graduated from the program and moved to Orléans.

Being in the city is scary but also so exciting. There are so

many more opportunities for a young photojournalist to explore and grow. I wanted to do my school placement at a community newspaper close to where I’m living. I haven’t had any experience in the media outside of the school newspaper, so I wanted something that was a little more laid back than a daily newspaper but still big enough to put all of my skills to use.

I’m looking forward to getting to know my community and the people in it.

Bratwurst asparagus sliders offer new twist on the grill German Bratwurst sausage inspired sliders with crunchy asparagus bits and gooey melted cheese are colourful, delicious and sure to be a hit at your next barbecue.

Try different types of Ontario cheese.

Preparation Time: 20 minutes Cooking Time: 5 minutes Grilling Time: 13 minutes Serves: 12 Ingredients

• 24 stalks Ontario Asparagus, trimmed • 1 tbsp (15 mL) butter • 1 small onion, finely chopped • 1 lb (500 g) each lean ground pork and lean ground beef • 1 egg • 1/2 cup (125 mL) dry breadcrumbs • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) each salt, ground nutmeg, paprika and dry mustard • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) each pepper, celery seeds and ground coriander • 6 slices Swiss cheese, halved • 12 small burger buns Preparation instructions

Remove top two-inches (10 cm) of

each asparagus spear, place asparagus tips in grill basket; set aside.

Finely chop half of the remaining asparagus stalks (reserve the remaining for another use). In medium skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat, add onion and cook until softened, about three minutes. Add chopped asparagus and cook until asparagus is bright green and softened, about two minutes.

Let cool slightly.

In large bowl, combine pork, beef, egg,

breadcrumbs, salt, nutmeg, paprika, dry mustard, pepper, celery seeds, coriander, and cooled asparagus mixture.

Form 1/3 cup (75 mL) mixture into small burger; repeat with remaining meat mixture.

Place grill basket on grill over medium heat. Grill asparagus two to three minutes, tossing frequently.

Remove and set aside.

Place burgers on greased grill over medium heat. Grill until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C), about five minutes per side. Top each burger with half slice of cheese. Close lid to melt cheese slightly.

To serve, place two asparagus tips on each cheese covered burger.

Serve on buns with a variety of mustards and sauerkraut.

During the event, Mayor Jim Watson proclaimed May 1 Hospice Palliative Care Day. Ottawa South MPP John Fraser spoke of his father who passed away at the May Court Hospice in Old Ottawa South and said hospices are rest stations between heaven and Earth. This year’s goal was to generate $120,000 for Ottawa-based hospices. Taking part in the opening ceremony were Alta Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier, left, John Laframboise, vice-chair of Hospice Care Ottawa’s board of directors, Lisa Sullivan, executive director of Hospice Care Ottawa, Mayor Jim Watson, Fraser, Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod and Stittsville Coun.

City considers asking province to allow civilians to direct traffic Mayor says such a move could save city money on policing budget Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

City council may be asking the province to make changes to the Highway Traffic Act to allow civilians to direct traffic during special events or construction.

Police board chair Eli El-Chantiry put forward a notice of motion at the April 27 meeting.

El-Chantiry said even though construction companies pay the policing budget, the cost is built into the bid for the project.

He estimates the city pays between $600,000 and $700,000 per year on costs related to having officers direct traffic during construction or special events such as the Santa Claus parade.

Mayor Jim Watson said that with scarce dollars and little wiggle room when it comes to negotiating police officer salaries, municipalities are going to have to get creative.

“When I see an officer with a gun in full uniform that makes an average salary of $100,000 out man-

“When I see an officer with a gun in full uniform that makes an average salary of $100,000 out manning a barricade on Bank Street during the Santa Claus parade, I think, that’s not a good use of a professional, trained police officer.”

Mayor Jim Watson

ning a barricade on Bank Street during the Santa Claus parade, I think, that’s not a good use of a professional, trained police officer,” Watson said.

El-Chantiry said that special constables or bylaw officers could be responsible for directing traffic during special events. He said with the city beginning construction on the first phase of light rail, now is the time to think about this issue.

Watson said the city needs to look at options.

“We could do better with auxiliary police, with special constables, and save a lot of money and at the same time allow our police officers to do real policing work and not really acting as barricade monitors,”

Watson said.

While the city is attempting to cut costs, El-Chantiry said part of the motivation is to get officers on the streets, doing what they’re trained for.

El-Chantiry said Toronto is also considering petitioning the province, adding they pay out roughly $1 million in additional fees as a result of paying officers for the service.

Watson said he was also going to bring the issue up with Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi.

He said in addition to the city, community groups that host events requiring traffic control would also benefit from lower costs by hiring civilians to do traffic control.

Leitrim Development Area Updated Serviceability Report Class EA OPA 76 Areas 8a, 9a and 9b Open House May 25, 2016 Fred G. Barrett Arena 3280 Leitrim Road (corner of Bank St. and Leitrim Rd.) 6:30 to 9 p.m.

By attending this meeting, residents will find out more about the Class Environmental Assessment (EA) process and updated serviceability for the Leitrim Development Area.

In 2012, as per Official Plan Amendment Number 76 (OPA 76), the City of Ottawa increased its urban envelope and part of that expansion occurred in the Leitrim Development Area (LDA). OPA 76 Areas 8a, 9a and 9b (87.2 hectares) were added to the LDA as per Planning Committee Report Number 33 (dated June 27, 2012).

The servicing of the OPA 76 lands is subject to the process. The Updated Serviceability Report is prepared following the integration with the Planning Act provision of the Class EA process recognizing that integrating approvals under the EA Act and the Planning Act would meet the intent of the Class EA. To fulfill the requirements of the Planning Act provision of the Class EA process, the upcoming open house will address: • • •

The addition of the 87.2 hectares of developable area to the analysis contained in the 2007 Final Serviceability Report, including a review of the impacts of the OPA 76 expansion lands on existing water, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment requirements to service the expansion lands Recommendations on the overall LDA infrastructure system, including upgrades required to meet the City of Ottawa’s level of service requirements for build-out of future development within the LDA

By participating at this meeting, you can discuss the project with the study team and provide feedback.

Information on the Updated Serviceability Report for the LDA is available on ottawa.ca/publicconsultations.

Residents are encouraged to provide comments throughout the EA process. All comments received will be collected under the Environmental Assessment Act and, with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record.

Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accommodation, please email joseph.zagorski@ottawa.ca no later than May 20.

More families are accessing shelter system, new report finds More housing units needed: Bulthuis Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

While the average length of stay in shelters has gone down for the first time in years, the face of the city’s homeless population is changing, said a report released April 26 by the Alliance to End Homelessness Ottawa.

Approximately 300 more people used shelters in 2015 compared to the year before.

The report says the increase can be entirely attributed to more families seeking shelter.

Mike Bulthuis, executive director for the alliance, said the numbers are troubling, especially given that youth under age 17 represent one in five of the city’s shelter clients.

While progress is being made on the length of stay – part of a plan to eradicate chronic homelessness in 10 years – there are some challenges, Bulthuis said.

Bulthuis said that Ottawa built the fewest number of affordable housing units in 10 years during the 2015 reporting period.

“There were 46 new units – 34 constructed and another 12 rent subsidies,” he said. “With one in five families paying more than 50 per cent in rent and utilities costs, we have to do better.”

The total number of people using shelters increased by 4.9 per cent in 2015, up to 6,825 from 6,508 people in 2014, the report says.

John Sylvestre, director of the Centre for Resource on Education and Community Services at the University of Ottawa, said that while families are the main reason for the rise in shelter use, their plight is much less visible than other segments of the homeless population.

Lack of support

He said every family in a shelter is poor, but not every poor family ends up in a shelter, and the reasons for the shelter stay may be due to lack of support in the community.

Jennifer McIntosh/Metroland

Mike Bulthuis, executive director of Alliance to End Homelessness Ottawa, speaks about the rise in the number of families accessing the emergency shelter system during the release of the group’s 2015 progress report on April 26.

50 in 2015.

Nepean MP Chandra Arya said 11 million Canadians are working in jobs without retirement plans.

“People are going to retire

into poverty,” he said.

Despite some of the concerns, Bulthuis said service providers are making gains and that commitments from the federal and provincial

governments will increase the stock of affordable housing available.

“Let’s hope this number (46 new units for 2015) remains in history as the lowest,” he said.

Jennifer McIntosh/Metroland

Loriann Richardson, graduating from the hospitality management program at Algonquin College this year, said she wouldn’t be where she is today without affordable housing. Richardson spoke during the release of the Alliance to End Homelessness 2015 annual report on April 26.

As the cost of housing rises, it’s becoming a barrier for more and more families.

The total number of families using shelters in Ottawa rose to 782 in 2015 from 706 in 2014, representing 2,635 people which is up from 2,278.

“Homeless families in shelters are just the tip of the iceberg,” Sylvestre said, adding there’s been little research about the long-term impact of shelter stays on young children.

Sylvestre said a family often has a period of extreme instability before they hit the shelter system and require supports to stay in their houses.

The issue doesn’t seem to be one of education, Sylvestre said, adding more than one-third of families that accessed shelters had some level of post secondary education.

Women headed up about 73 per cent of the families in shelters – of those, 65. 3 per cent are single parent families.

For Loriann Richardson, access to affordable housing changed her life.

Richardson, along with

her son, fled an abusive relationship in 2012.

She said she was lucky to only have to stay in a hotel for a couple of days before being placed in a shelter.

“Once I was there I felt really welcome. I knew that people would point me in the direction to find the help I needed,” she said.

Once Richardson was in the shelter, she was placed in a high school within two weeks to finish her last credit. Within two months, she was placed in affordable housing.

Now, Richardson said she’s a day away from finishing the hospitality management program at Algonquin College.

“If I didn’t have access to affordable housing, I would never have finished school and would just be working to pay for housing,” she said.

SENIORS

Another population that has seen an increase in shelter use is those over 50, said Bulthuis.

The report says that there has been a five per cent hike in shelter stays for men over

IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT Notice of Intention to Designate The City of Ottawa on May 11, 2016 established its intention to designate Kilmorie, 21 Withrow Avenue, under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value.

Description of Property Kilmorie, 21 Withrow Avenue is a one-and-one-half-storey stone house constructed between 1840 and 1850 in City View in former Nepean Township.

Cultural Heritage Value Kilmorie has cultural heritage value for its association with the early settlement of Nepean Township and with Confederation Poet William Wilfred Campbell and for its design value as an example of a 19th century vernacular stone house.

Kilmorie’s historical value lies in its association with the early development of City View in former Nepean Township. Constructed at some point between 1840 and 1850 as a farmhouse for William Scott, who emigrated from Ireland to Upper Canada in 1819 as part of a wave of Irish Protestants who settled in Nepean Township in the 19th century, Kilmorie serves as a reminder of the area’s agricultural history. Kilmorie is also associated with William Wilfred Campbell, one of the Confederation Poets, a group of poets born in the 1860s who became popular in Canada at the end of the 19th century. Campbell purchased Kilmorie in 1914 and lived there until his death in 1918.

Kilmorie has design value as an example of the vernacular stone buildings constructed in the classical tradition in the Ottawa area in the early-to-mid 19th century. Exemplifying its type, Kilmorie is constructed of limestone, has a gable roof with returned eaves and symmetrical facades.

The front facade is highlighted by a tripartite window with decorative fanlight in the central gable.

OBJECTIONS Any person wishing to object to this designation may do so by letter, outlining the reasons for the vobjection and any other relevant information. This letter must be received by the Clerk of the City of Ottawa either by registered mail or personally delivered within 30 days of the publication of this notice.

Week In Review

It was such a privilege to be asked to speak to a group of boys at Metcalfe Public School about my journey to Canada and getting involved in the Community leading up to my present position on City Council. The idea was to encourage youth to get involved in their community and to realize they have a voice, influence and power at their fingertips. I encouraged them to never give up on their dreams and turn the negative into positivity in life. It was an emotional moment when I relived how I came to Canada and left my family at home in Lebanon when I was 17 years old.

Along the way, I learned so much about life and recognized how grateful I am to be a part of communities that care about maintaining a great life style and striving to make it better for future generations. It was another great experience that I was lucky to be a part of. Never give up and always learn from your experiences.

There was a great turnout out at Orchard View Wedding and Conference Centre for the OCSTC Landowner & Volunteer Appreciation Dinner. The evening is all about thanking and recognizing the many volunteers and landowners that it takes to allow trails to be used and maintained on their properties for snowmobilers. Thank you to everyone who dedicates their own personal time and energy to help out.

Greely Business Association held their first Mini Trade Show at OLV Banquet Hall. They had many vendors on hand to inform visitors about their services and businesses they have to offer here. It is also a good place to start looking when you want to shop locally.

The leaders of Metcalfe 2nd Brownie group started off their cookie blitz with a hot dog bbq at the Metcalfe United Church parking lot on Wednesday night. The money raised will go towards sending a few of the girls to Europe next year. They were very anxious to get out and start door knocking in the area with their boxes of vanilla and chocolate cookies. You may have had them at your door already, if not, they will be around!

The last meeting to prepare for the 2nd Annual Meet & Greet on Victoria Street, which will take place on Saturday, May 7th from 10-2pm, was held on Wednesday. This Meet and Greet will be such a great way to showcase all the local businesses that are in Metcalfe. There are over 30 businesses expected to be out to talk to visitors, enjoy a bbq in the park and join in on a scavenger hunt! C’mon down to Metcalfe and see for yourself what we have here in the Village. Stay local and shop local!

I am always meeting new people with great ideas and products from our Ward. This Tuesday during drop in hours I had just that happen again. I met a resident that makes and sells his own brand of Hot Sauces right here in Osgoode Village! His products are on sale in the local Foodlands in Osgoode and Greely.

The product name is “Icefire”. Look for it on the shelves and give it try! Perfect timing with bbq’ing season now on! It was also so nice to have the students from Metcalfe PS to make me a thank you card for visiting the school, and Mr Fitch drop it off during open doors.

This week the City of Ottawa presented the Key to the City to a famous game show host... who is.. Alex Trebek! While Mr Trebek is well known for his game show Jeopardy!, he is also known for his philanthropy, activism, commitment to higher education and loyalty to his alma mater. He is so deserving, especially for his contributions to Ottawa University, and it was such a pleasure to meet him!

Bologna was a special treat whenever we visited Briscoe’s General Store

B

riscoe’s General Store, to me, was just about the most exciting place in all of Renfrew County.

If Father had to go to buy some nails, or coal oil, or maybe some leaf tobacco, I would beg to go with him. As soon as I went in the door, I could smell the maple cookies in the tilted box, and the smell of rubber boots hanging from a rafter, and then deeper inside, the scent of molasses in the wood barrel at the back of the store.

Across the store, about half way down, was a glass counter where meats and perishables were kept.

And inside was my very favourite food in all the world.

It sat on a white enameled tray, and to me, it looked like it weighed at least 20 pounds.

It was a big fat roll of bologna ... of course, we simply called it balony back then.

I would rather have a slice of balony than a box of cracker jacks, or a bunch of butterscotch suckers which came bundled up with an elastic band.

Mother knew how I loved balony, and if there were a few pennies left after she bought

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories what was on her list, she would say to Mr. Briscoe, “I guess we’ll have a slice of balony, too.”

He would take out the big roll, and with a butcher knife that looked like it would do harm to an elephant, he would slice off a thin piece and hand it to me, without benefit of even a piece of waxed paper. It wouldn’t make it to the door and the buggy! I would roll it into one long piece, and devour it right on the spot.

And then one day, after Mother had finished her list, she again said I could have a slice of balony. Well, was I in for a surprise.

Mr. Briscoe went behind the counter, took out the big roll, and there was a brand new piece of machinery to cut the slices. He put the roll on a tray attached to it, clamped the meat down with what looked like a fork, and turned a crank, and as neat as you please, off

came a perfectly cut slice of balony. The only problem was, the machine cut the meat very thin, and I decided right then, I wished he had used the big butcher knife, but said nothing, so glad was I to get my favourite treat in the world.

Mr. Briscoe had what Mother called ‘a soft spot’ for the children of Northcote. No child ever left the store without being handed a humbug. Now, I hated humbugs with a passion. They were light brown with stripes in them, and tasted like something you would take for a sore throat, and the taste stayed in my mouth for ages.

No, I had no use for humbugs, but good manners demanded I thank Mr. Briscoe as if I had been given a whole quarter. But as soon as I got out the door and into the buggy, I threw the humbug into the ditch on the way home ... without Mother seeing of course.

Well, one day, just as we

ROSSS Annual General Meeting Date: June 13, 2016

Location: 8243 Victoria St. Metcalfe ON (Client Service Centre/Council Chambers)

were about to leave the store, Mr. Briscoe reached into the candy jar that sat on the end of the counter, and pulled out the usual humbug. I decided then and there I would do something that demanded every ounce of courage I had in my body, but would settle the humbug issue once and for all.

“Mr. Briscoe,” I said in my best Sunday school voice.

“Would you mind very much if instead of the humbug, I could have a slice of balony?” He dropped the candy back in the jar, went to the counter at the back of the store, took out the roll, and using the brand new machine, cut me a slice, and handed it to me.

Ever after, whenever we went to the store, Mr. Briscoe, when we were ready to leave, would go to the meat counter and slice a piece of balony for me on his new machine. Never again did I have to take a humbug, pretend I was delighted, and toss it into the ditch on the way back to the farm.

The barn cat drama continues

n March, we came home from a Caribbean vacation to a mild winter day.

As I slid open the patio door, all four cats (two house cats and two barn cats that over-winter indoors) ran out into the melting snow.

We didn’t see the barn cats again for three weeks.

I thought the season of the indoor feral cats, leaving mounds of fluff balls on the couch and tearing up the carpet as they race up the stairs was finally over.

I was wrong.

Three weeks after he left, Junior came back. He dragged his sorry self into the house and sat at my feet, announcing his return with a plaintive wail.

He looked very thin, as if he had either found himself trapped somewhere with no access to food, or he had been ill. His fur looked mat-

DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife ted and the shine was gone from his coat and his eyes.

All the fur was missing from the back of his left leg, and the remnants of a nicely cleaned wound was noticeable there. When I snuck over to pet him (he will only allow this if another cat is in between us and food is in front of him) I found another bald spot on his side and a wee hole in the top of his head.

He had obviously been in a fight and done his best to nurse his own injuries before somehow finding his way back to the house. The other two cats, Sheila and

Sammy, didn’t like the smell of him.

After a week or two of resting and fattening up, Junior went back outside. He returned at the end of April with what I thought was a broken paw.

He held it up and limped around the house.

I was amazed that he could still get up and down the stairs and onto his favourite birdwatching perches and napping spots with three legs. He made it look easy, but painful. I thought of how we used to splint the lamb’s legs when they got them stuck in the

feeder or found themselves under the horse’s hoof.

But the cat’s leg was much smaller. I didn’t think I had a splint small enough.

Besides, this cat would have anything I constructed ripped off in no time.

I crushed some homeopathic pills into his water for pain and planned to take him to the vet the next day.

Sammy drank all the water and tucked himself into bed. Junior watched as I prepared the cat carrier and decided it would be safer to sleep up on a rafter in the basement.

On a Monday morning, I waited until the cats were crowded around the feeding station eating breakfast and then grabbed Junior gently but firmly by the scruff of the neck.

I scooped up his hind end and tucked him into the waiting carrier.

He didn’t struggle, as if

he knew he needed help. I watched as he curled up on the fleece blanket and tried to tuck what I was pretty sure was a badly broken leg underneath him. It appeared flat on the foreleg and the paw was misshapen and swollen. It must have been extremely painful.

At the vet, I warned them that Junior is feral. They thought they were ready for him, but he surprised them.

When they opened his carrier he flew through their legs and slid across the floor to hide under the x-ray machine.

They spent about half an hour chasing him around the clinic before they were able to examine him.

All that running around burst the abscess that Junior was hiding between the pads of his paw.

The vet confirmed there were no broken bones. He got an antibiotic shot to last

ten days (no way he’s letting me give him oral meds twice a day after this), an antiinflammatory painkiller and a good cleaning.

Once back at home I opened the carrier and Junior took a spot between the two housecats on the couch.

They had a little conversation and decided he didn’t smell so bad after all. And the upside of all this drama is that although he is still suspicious when he sees the cat carrier, he lets me pet him now.

I think he is grateful for the human intervention.

The only problem is that now I think we have three permanent housecats.

He’s afraid to go back outside. dianafisherbooks.com theaccidentalfarmwife. blogspot.com dianafisher1@gmail.com

Meet Ariel (ID# A187509), a sweet and loving cat looking for her purr-fect match.

Ariel is a gentle girl looking for a relaxing new home. She can be a little shy at first, but once she gets to know you, she’ll gladly climb up on to your lap for cuddles.

Ariel would prefer a quiet home where she’ll have lots of time to explore and get comfortable. Could this delightful girl be your new best friend?

For more information on Ariel and all the adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd Check out our website at www.ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

May is Chip Your Pet Month Does your cat or dog have a microchip? Tiny and virtually painless to implant, this life-long form of identification may mean the difference between never seeing your lost pet again and having her returned safely to you. May is Chip Your Pet Month - a perfect time to get a microchip for your furry companion.

A microchip provides a permanent means of pet

identification. Each grain-sized microchip has a unique ID number that can be scanned at shelters and vet clinics.

Important information about you and your pet is entered into a national database and can be used to contact you if your lost pet has been found.

Microchips will not fade or be lost over time. Owner information can be accessed electronically and immediately,

ensuring the speedy return of a lost pet. While tags may be lost from time to time, tags are still important as a quick and visual way of identifying your pet.

The OHS holds monthly microchip clinics with our next clinic coming up on May 14.

The cost is $50 - a small price to pay for a lifetime of security.

For more information, call 613-725-3166 ext. 221.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, even though you normally think cooly and collectedly, this week you may be at the end of your rope. Book some time for a little R&R to recharge your batteries.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, positive encounters, including an unexpected meeting with an old friend, could make for an interesting week. Your social life is booming.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you have a measured and methodical approach to your goals.

This week, though, your sense of fun may take over and steer you off course.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Consider your words before sharing your perspective, Aquarius. You do not want to hurt anyone’s feelings, even if what you have to say is the truth.

Word things carefully.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Your self-esteem soars this week when you go out of your way to put others’ needs before your own. Act from your heart, Pisces.
