Target shooting banned in Marlborough Forest Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

Untidy target shooters are costing the city thousands in cleanup costs and changing the way the public is allowed to use the Marlborough Forest.

Police and bylaw officers will be enforcing trespassing bylaws in the sprawling, 10,000-hectare woodlot after a recent uptick in the amount of debris and damage left behind by people practising their shooting

skills in the forest.

From busted couches to old TVs, city forester David Barkley said people have been toting all kinds of trash into the west-end forest to use as targets for shooting practice.

When they are done, they leave the junk behind – along with enough bullet casings to fills several garbage bags.

“You name the appliance and they’ve left it there,” Barkley said.

Cleaning it all up has cost between $10,000 and $15,000 over the summer of 2014 alone, Barkley said.

It’s prevented forestry services staff from completing their other tasks, such as maintaining culverts in the area.Target and skeet shooting wasn’t a common activity in the Marlborough Forest when the city created a management plan for it around the time of amalgamation, 14 years ago, Barkley said.

Secondary plan top of mind for Moffatt in 2015 Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt wants to wrap up several outstanding projects in the Manotick area in 2015, including the longawaited secondary plan and the sale of the city’s Dickinson Square properties.

Moffatt said the secondary plan is long overdue – it hasn’t really been updated since 1997 – but he’s happy to continue plucking away at it over the next few months to make sure it’s what the community needs.

“It’s an important document and you don’t want to rush it,” Moffatt

said. “You don’t want to do a brief look, you want to do a proper, thorough review.”

The secondary plan is a document that outlines the village’s vision for future development and land use, recreation and commercial growth.

The current review process began in 2013, but it picked up momentum in 2014 with several open houses.

Moffatt said he’s confident the updated document will be stronger and more resistant to developers poking holes in the community’s vision.

“You can’t leave open ended questions inside your secondary plan, you can’t leave it open to interpretation,” he said. “The input we received at

the open house in November show that we seem to be doing the right things.”

Moffatt also wants to wrap up the Dickinson Square redevelopment process, at least from the city’s end.

So far only two of the five buildings the city is mandated to sell or lease to recoup money it spent in 2007 have sold (the Ayres building, which developer Joe Princiotta was approved to buy, is heading back to the city for another round of bids) and the Manotick Mill Quarter Community Development Corporation is past deadline to get it wrapped up.

But Moffatt said some progress is being made: the Weaver House is getting a massive makeover to become a spa, and Princiotta has filed his zoning and site plan applications to build a 45-unit independent living centre on the Clapp Lane property.

“It’s a one step at a time sort of thing,” he said. “It’s not a bad thing, I don’t think.”

but was delayed to bundle it with a water main project so the road wouldn’t be ripped up twice.

The money saved would have paid for sidewalks, but now the water main is behind schedule.

Moffatt said crews could make the road a little wider in places when it’s resurfaced this summer, in an effort to make at least some positive improvements for pedestrians.

“If there’s something we can do you can be sure we’re going to try and do it,” he said.

Moffatt also wants to work with his fellow south-end councillors to push for a regional truck study that would hopefully alleviate some concerns regarding truck traffic patterns in the south end until the city finally funds a full city-wide study.

Residents have been frustrated that the new bridge over the Rideau River doesn’t have enough truck route connections to keep trucks out of Manotick and other parts of the area.

A regional study would help add some more connections to the map, Moffatt said.

“I’ll be talking about that with my south end colleagues who will be impacted by that,” he said.

New councillor leans into learning curve for 2015 Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Joseph Morin/Metroland

Kemptville College needs to find a way to secure its academic future.

Facilitator releases Kemptville College report to OMAFRA Jennifer Westendorp

jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

“Kemptville College was built over many year; its renewal will not occur overnight,” stated the report authored by the Honourable Lyle Vanclief to the Honourable Jeff Leal, Ontario Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA).

The report, which was funded by the Ontario Government, went on to say ‘the biggest challenge will be the ability to secure a provider or providers for specific or general agricultural academic education that would lead to a diploma-granting status.’

Will the Kemptville College be able to remain a college going into the future?

That is the question the residents of North Grenville are the most curious about. At this time, that question has no answer and it may not be as simple as some people think.

‘Funding from MTCU (Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities) for academic programs for a private or out-of-province institution could take at least five to seven years for approval,’ stated the report.

The Kemptville College was established in 1917 by the Ontario Government, for the purpose of providing practical agricultural training to farm boys and domestic science for farm girls.

‘There is substantial evidence that the College’s influence succeeded in improving

agricultural production practices and economic growth during its first 25 years…’ stated the report.

According to the report, following World War II, the influence of the college in being an early adopter of artificial insemination, milk recording, electric milking machines, bulk milk tanks and new haying equipment as well as its research on corn hybrids, silage, herbicides, crop fertilization and other practices greatly increased both the productivity and profitability of agriculture in Eastern Ontario.

The Kemptville College has a rich history, not just in Kemptville, but across Eastern Ontario as a whole.

Osgoode Coun. George Darouze wants to learn everything there is to know about how the city runs so he can be a proactive and attentive councillor heading into the new year.

Darouze was elected Osgoode’s representative on Oct. 27, replacing Doug Thompson who served the Osgoode community for 31 years.

Since then, the rookie councillor said he has been meeting with city staff and doing site visits to the city’s operational facilities so he can get a handle on how the city works.

“I like to learn a lot about things before I make decisions,” he said. “I just want to take my time learning and understanding all the issues.”

For example, in the last week before Christmas Darouze was out learning about

Osgoode Coun.

George Darouze

the city’s snow removal operations, so he can know exactly how and when Osgoode ward is served when the white stuff arrives in earnest later this winter.

“If we can be proactive rather than reactive, people appreciate it,” he said.

Darouze said his first priority in 2015 is to successfully pass the budget with the ward’s priorities intact.

That largely involves making sure money for road infrastructure upgrades is in place.

Springhill Road is high on his priority list to be resurfaced, as is Swale Road, both east of Osgoode village.

“We had a big budget last year for roads, and it doesn’t happen every year,” he said.

“I will be happy to get those done. I want to make sure they fit into the budget this year.”

In the lead-up to the budget process, which will get underway in early 2015, Darouze is trying to visit every community association in the ward to start creating his ward advisory committee – a major plank in his election platform.

“One of my other priorities is ... working on my advisory committee as promised,” he said.

“I have my objectives and my visions and I want to share them with the community associations for feedback.”

Poilievre to focus on rural lifestyle in the new year Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre could soon be known as the representative for the rural riding of Carleton if he’s successful in the federal election planned for October 2015.

The third-term representative faces a challenge as his riding gets split up to account for growth in the suburban parts of his constituency, but he said sticking with the rural area jives with his priorities for the year ahead.

“There will be a lot of focus on issues that matter to people in the country, for example common sense firearms licensing laws that respect our hunters and farmers,” Poilievre

Ottawa Valley Tours

said. “We need to continue to support the rural way of life on the farm through good agricultural policies and then to focus on keeping taxes low so everyone can afford to maintain their rural lifestyle.”

He said it will be a challenge to take on such a huge riding, which includes all of Osgoode and Rideau-Goulbourn wards, plus parts of Stittsville and Gloucester-South Nepean.

“I’ll have to be very organized, but it can be done,” he said, noting Nunavut representative Leona Aglukkaq has a riding about the size of western Europe.

Wherever he goes in the riding, Poilievre said low taxes will be major push for him heading into the election.

“The community that I represent has lots of young families with kids and my goal is to put money directly in their pocket so they can choose how to raise their kids,” he said.

He rejected calls from opposition parties to create a national daycare program, arguing it adds bureaucracy and doesn’t benefit everyone equally. Giving parents direct tax breaks or child care benefits are more fair, he said.

At the national level, Poilievre said he wants to continue strengthening legislation to “defeat the threat of terrorism,” particularly after two jarring attacks in October.

“We need to continue the aerial bombing campaign against ISIL targets in Iraq and support the Iraqi government and Kurdish forces on the ground,” he added.

Poilievre heads into 2015 still riding the high from opening the Strandherd-Armstrong bridge – now the Vimy Memorial Bridge – over the Rideau River, which connects the communities of Riverside South and Barrhaven.

Kemptville College supporters determined to save college Since the 1990’s, the college’s importance as a demonstration farm and research center has diminished, following the consolidation of the college to focusing on dairy, equine and most crop research on a separate property near Winchester, which is owned by the Agricultural Research Institute of Ontario (ARIO).

‘Its central location within Eastern Ontario has been ideal in encouraging agricultural and rural groups to come together to discuss common issues and facilitate the exchange of information,’ stated the report.

The Kemptville College contains a land base of 847 acres of which approximately one-third is arable. The land base includes about 80 acres with campus buildings and maintained grounds, 630 acres of crop and forested land on the west side of County Road 44 and 140 acres with dairy and equine livestock buildings, an agricultural arena and some crop land.

The Kemptville College was operated as an agricultural college by the OMAFRA until 1997, at which time the operation of the campus and delivery of academic and skills training programs were transferred to the University of Guelph. The Kemptville College land base and facilities are owned by ARIO and maintained by the U of G. The current management agreement between ARIO and the U of G terminates in 2018.

‘Throughout its history, Kemptville College has continued to offer a two year diploma program in agriculture as well as a diploma in home economics/foods and nutrition, which was eliminated in 2012,’ stated the report.

Over the years, the courses available at the Kemptville College have changed and adapted to marketplace needs. The college has offered a variety of agriculture related courses since 1917, some lasting a few days, to a few weeks.

‘The U of G is a unique situation as it is the only university in Canada which provides skill training programs,’ stated the report. ‘Elsewhere, skills training is provided by community colleges or private institutions.’

The 11 apprenticeship and certificate programs offered in 2014 by the U of G were largely funded by the MTCU. Point of interest; the welding course facility is one of the best available in Canada.

The number of full-time diploma students at the college over the years depending on various factors.

“During the college’s first 50 years, the highest year of enrollment in the two year diploma programs

was in 1968 when there were 148 first and second year agricultural students and 103 to home economic students,” stated the report.

According to the report, these numbers were comparable to 2010 and 2011 before some programs were terminated or transferred to the U of G. The number of diploma students increased substantially in the late 1970’s and 1980’s, peaking in 1996 with 320 diploma students, partially due to the popularity of the equine management program.

‘Since the U of G took over the Kemptville College in 1997, the number of first year agricultural diploma students has been relatively stagnant,’ stated the report, ‘ranging from a low of 37 students in 2006, to a high of 57 students in both 1998 and 2007.’Since 2011, the college has not received funding from the U of G to actively market its diploma programs.

The research component of the college grew during the 1950’s and 1960’s to include crops, dairy, beef, sheep, swine, poultry, agriculture and horticulture production and practices, engineering, food preparation and preservation, cheese making

and in the 1970’s, maple syrup was added. The Kemptville College has a state-of-the-art maple syrup production facility with 900 taps, although recent studies indicate that the minimum break-even basis for a viable maple syrup operation is 1800 taps.

“The current activity on the campus is primarily focused on dairy cattle studies overseen by one researcher who manages multiple projects encompassing feed behaviour, housing and welfare, mastitis studies and organic production in collaboration with Alfred Campus,” stated the report.

The cattle, quota and milking machine are not the property of the college itself. The U of G owns the cows and robotic milker and the Dairy Farmers of Ontario has loaned the use of the quota to the college. The U of G is moving the dairy researcher and all dairy research to new dairy research facility in Elora.

On March 12, 2014, the U of G announced that it would be suspending the delivery of academic and research programs at the Kemptville campus in the spring of 2014, with full closure occurring on May 1, 2015, to allow registered students to complete their programs.

“The U of G cited low enrollment, inefficient program delivery, an aging physical footprint and low research output as the primary factors for its decision,” stated the report.

On April 22, 2014, the Ontario government announced a one year extension. On July 11, 2014, Vanclief was appointed facilitator. On July 16, 2014, Vanclief met with the Kemptville Campus Renewal Task Force and indicated he intended to work with them through the process.

Vanclief met with 64 different organizations, attended two public meetings and corresponded with 21 individuals and organizations.

Through his research, analysis and consultations, Vanclief settled on five areas of consideration when developing future options for the Kemptville College.

Those areas include research capacity, education, role of the campus in the local community, jobs on campus and the challenges presented by the size and capacity of the acreage and buildings.

Vanclief determined that the research taking place at the Kemptville College had decreased in recent years. Vanclief also determined that

student enrollment has decreased from the 1980’s and 1990’s, although enrollment in programs that were not transferred to other U of G campuses or were terminated have remained relatively stable over the past five years.

Vanclief determined that the Kemptville College has been a ‘goto’ place in the community, dating back nearly 100 years.

The Kemptville College has hosted thousands of meetings, weddings, conferences, festivals and other forms of events over the years. Important to note is the fact the U of G directed staff responsible for leasing spaces and organizing events to not rent any facilities after November 1, 2014.

“In recent months, there has been over 30 requests, many of which are for regular or annual agriculture events, that have been turned away…’ stated the report. Vanclief determined there were, until recently, 70 jobs at the campus – some fulltime, others part-time or casual.

“Although not quantifiable, the economic loss of this activity will be significant for the Town of Kemptville and surrounding municipality…’ stated the report.

But the number of individuals discharging firearms in the forest for purposes other than hunting has been on the rise in the last couple of years and 2014 was the last straw.

New signs went up in September warning visitors not to shoot firearms for anything other than lawful hunting.

Police and bylaw officers as well as forestry services staff have spent the last few months advising forest users of the change that prohibits target or skeet shooting anywhere within the forest, which is mainly located in the former Rideau township area.

The fine for trespassing in the forest for someone caught unlawfully discharging a firearm ranges from $300 to $500,

The forest is a large area and it’s quite remote, which makes it different than the city’s other community forests, which are closer to residential areas, Barkley said. There are signs in the forest, particularly near the main entrance and parking area off Roger Stevens Drive, warning visitors about the range of uses permitted in the forest. Barkley said the goal is to balance the different types of uses in the forest, which include everything from hiking cross-country skiing to ATV riding and hunting.

The city hasn’t discussed the possibility of limiting hunting activities, Barkley said.

The change didn’t require a new bylaw – it’s simply a stricter enforcement of a bylaw that’s already on the books, Barkley said.

Barkley said.

The forest is regularly patrolled by the Ottawa police trail and dive unit, city bylaw officers and forestry services personnel.

The perpetrators don’t seem to be affiliated with any particular sporting group or association, Barkley said.

City staff and police have been advising people who are target shooting in the Marlborough Forest to sign up with one of the local gun clubs or shooting ranges instead.

“The cleanup costs and the damage they’re doing isn’t worth leaving it open,” Barkley said. The change is more about damage and debris and less about and potential safety issues associated with firearms being discharged in a forest the public uses, Barkley said.

Continued from the front

One last shutdown before O-Train service speeds up Your trips on the O-Train are inching closer to being faster as work to upgrade the service draws to a close.

A project to add passing tracks and more trains to what’s now called the Trillium Line will be completed in February after around two years of work.

When it’s done, trains will run every nine minutes during weekdays and every 15 minutes during evenings and weekends.

The north-south trains currently run every 15 minutes during the week and every 30 minutes on weekends.

The expanded service should start by the end of February or the beginning of March, rail implementation director Steve Cripps told city councillors in a memo sent on Dec. 23.

But before more frequent service begins, the trains will have to be shut down one last time.

Route 107 shuttle service will replace the trains for up to six consecutive days over Carleton University’s reading week, which runs from Feb. 15 to 21.

The shutdown is minor compared to some of the other construction activities on the O-Train line, including a complete shutdown of O-Train service in the summer of 2013 and every weekend that fall while construction was underway.

Aside from just laying down more tracks, there are a number of complex steps involved in adding rail service, Cripps wrote in the memo. The new trains must be certified and the signalling system and new tracks must also be approved.

During that process, an issue with the Indusi signalling system was identified and fixes will take until the end of January, Cripps said.

The new system will be inspected by an independent third party to ensure it meets safety and reliability standards prior to the switch over, Cripps said.

The O-Train was introduced

as a pilot project in 2001 and was expected to carry 5,000 or 6,000 passengers a day.

By 2011 the system was carrying double that on tracks that run from Bayview Station in the north to Greenboro Station in the south end.

Expanding the line’s capacity is also aimed at easing the pressure on the bus system during construction of the city’s east-west light-rail transit line, which is currently underway. When LRT con-

struction is complete in 2018, the O-Train system will comprise the north-south Trillium Line (the new name for what’s currently referred to as the OTrain) and the Confederation Line – the new east-west section from Tunney’s Pasture to Blair Station.

The expansion project was expected to cost $59 million when the city approved it in 2011. It is expected to give the O-Train’s Trillium Line another 20 years of life.

A win-win scenario

O

ttawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk needs to double down in his bid to build a new arena at LeBreton Flats.

Last month, the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group announced it wanted to build a new arena on the prime piece of downtown land, administered by the National Capital Commission.

Melnyk is gambling his proposal is just what the NCC is looking for in its latest attempt to redevelop the area, turning it into a jewel of the city’s crown.

Every wager has its winners and losers.

To some the idea is a welcome one, especially area businesses that could expect to receive an economic boost from the team’s presence, as well as fans living in the city’s south and east ends, who will enjoy a much shorter drive to the arena.

For some, the trip to the arena will be much quicker after the city completes its first stage of light rail construction.

The reaction in Kanata has been less than happy – losing the team will hurt business at local restaurants and hotels.

But even if his bid to move the team is successful, how will Melnyk ante up the money need to build a new National Hockey League arena, the cost of which hovers around half a billion dollars? Hopefully he’s not expecting taxpayers to bankroll his ambitious plan, which will include many potential costs including buying the land and building a new arena.

We suggest Melnyk doubles down, and ask the NCC for permission to build a casino at LeBreton Flats, which will operate as a cash cow for the National Hockey League franchise.

Let Melnyk pay market value for the NCC land at LeBreton. Let him pay for every brick and every ounce of mortar needed to raise new Sens’ home rink.

But also give him the ability to offset those costs with a casino near the city’s core – one that can compete with the Hull casino for visitors’ dollars. The guaranteed income that would flow from a casino would no doubt ensure the NHL team has a long future in Ottawa.

Build a rink and they will come. But if you build a casino, they will also spend a lot of money.

COLUMN

We all have to be pulling in the same direction

I

t has been nice, over the holidays, to read cheery predictions for Ottawa’s future.

In not too many years, spurred by the completion of light rail and various other major projects, the city will flourish, find its identity and become the place we had always wanted it to be.

It’s a very nice thought, but you wonder whether the proverbial horse has left the barn. The premise of our future greatness is that we will build a glorious downtown, our dependence on the automobile will diminish and we will overcome the threats to the liveability of modern urban life. What a lovely thought, but it is difficult to keep it in mind as you drive past the latest giant shopping outlet in the western suburbs.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town Doesn’t seem like that’s going to reduce our car dependency. Doesn’t seem like consumers are going to ignore all that discount merchandise and take light rail to go downtown.

And all that new housing that’s being built in the west and south – does that mean car dependency is going to diminish? The problem is our city decision-makers have preached new urbanism while the making decisions that support the old urbanism. The old urbanism is mindless expan-

sion and more and bigger shopping complexes out there too. Will light rail change that? Maybe, but it will take more than that to get people out of their cars. Can downtown flourish?

Perhaps. But it will take more than light rail to make it happen.

Good things are on the horizon.

It looks like LeBreton Flats might emerge from its cocoon. The renovations at the National Arts Centre are encouraging. Lansdowne Park may work better than its critics have feared. But, on the other hand, how do you get to Lansdowne if you don’t live within walking distance?

City government can probably solve such problems, but that is not its biggest challenge. The biggest challenge is to get the private sector going in the same direction as city disTriBuTion inQuiries Richard Burns 613-221-6243 adMinisTraTion: Donna Therien 613-221-6233 display adverTising: Gisele Godin - Kanata - 221-6214 Dave Pennett - Ottawa West - 221-6209 Brad Clouthier - Orleans - 221-6154 Cindy Gilbert - Ottawa South - 221-6211 Geoff Hamilton - Ottawa East - 221-6215 Valerie Rochon - Barrhaven - 221-6227 Jill Martin - Nepean - 221-6221 Mike Stoodley - Stittsville - 221-6231 Janine Kivell - Ottawa West - 221-6217 Rico Corsi - Automotive Consultant - 221-6224 Greg Stimpson - Automotive Consultant - 221-6232

policy. What the private sector has done in the last 20 years is build subdivisions and big box centres in the suburbs and the same time as it closes down movie theatres downtown. If there is to be a new and better Ottawa, the private sector needs to sign on.

It’s true that other levels of government could be more helpful.

As a property owner, the federal government has been an obstacle to the development of Sparks Street, for example. And high property taxes have made it difficult for small businesses. Even a thriving downtown will be of little use if the only stores in it are chains.

Somehow, local government has to encourage commercial diversity.

The combination of high taxes and increasing rents has put some promising neighbourhoods in danger of becoming nothing more than restaurant strips, spotted with chain stores. ediTorial: Managing ediTor: Theresa Fritz, 613-221-6261 theresa.fritz@metroland.com news ediTor: Joe Morin joe.morin@metroland.com 613-221-6240 poliTiCal reporTer: Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com, 613-221-6162 reporTer: Emma Jackson 613 221-6181 emma.jackson@metroland.com

The private sector has a chance to step up in the development of LeBreton Flats and the Ottawa River shoreline. And the various levels of government, managing that development wisely, have a chance to make urban dreams come true.

Sandman shares winter magic with Mary

W

hy is it, Audrey?

As always, when I had to get an answer to an important question, I went to my sister, who was so much older and wiser than I was. I had been thinking about it for a long time, and that night, as we sat around the old pine table, having gone through the Eaton’s catalogue once again, I had to have the answer, once and for all.

I had asked Audrey why the Sandman only came to me, and why only in the dead of winter. And why, when Mother looked over at me, she would nod, and say, “here comes the Sandman again.”

I would look around me, seeking this creature, whom it seemed singled me out from the rest of the family, and without my even realizing it, said it was time for bed.

Audrey closed the catalogue, draped her arm around

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories my shoulders, and said that after a certain age, the Sandman was no longer needed.

He only came to very young children, and the reason he only came in the winter time, was that the days were shorter, and besides, he didn’t like the hot summer nights, and so hid away in the farthest regions of the world where it was much cooler. This all made perfect sense to me, since I preferred winter too.

And then Audrey, who Mother often said had the patience of a saint, reminded me of all the times I fell asleep before anyone else in the house, and she said it was

because the Sandman knew exactly when I was getting tired.

She told me how she often had to nudge me in church on Sundays when the minister, deep in his sermon, droned on. She said that happened in the winter because there was nothing to look at outside the window by our pew, but in the summer I could see the birds, and sometimes a squirrel in a tree. And she said the Sandman would come, and unbeknownst to me, would tap me on my eyelids, and off I would go. I asked her how come I always fell asleep in the flat-bottom sleigh when

we were coming home at night from a neighbour’s house, or from something going on at school or our church.

Well, Audrey had a perfect explanation for that too. She said, the Sandman loved the cold weather, and the frosty nights, and the sleigh bells, and the sound of the horses hooves crunching in the snow, and he had so many little people to visit, he would come to those who fell asleep the fastest.

Well, that was me all right.

I would be barely tucked into the sleigh, under the big fur blanket, with a heavy scarf wrapped around my head, when I would drop off, and waken only with the gentle nudge of my sister that we had arrived at our old log house on the farm.

And so often when it was time for us to play host to the Saturday night house party, I would stay awake as long

as I could, listening to the fiddle music, the table being pounded by euchre players, and the sound of Father playing the spoons. And I would sit on the bench near the back door, the best place to see the entire goings on, and I would find myself nodding, mesmerized by the sounds.

If we were at someone else’s home for the Saturday night house party, the youngest of us would play upstairs in one of the bedrooms, and end up laying cross-wise on a bed, and like a miracle, I would waken the next morning in my very own bed, never waking while being dressed and carried out to the sleigh.

My sister Audrey said the Sandman would have touched the eyelids of all of us, putting us to sleep, and then like limp dishrags, and unaware, we would be carried to the sleighs, undressed at our own homes, tucked into bed, none the wiser.

I asked Audrey why I never felt the Sandman touching my eyelids. Why didn’t I see him? And my older and much wiser sister would explain that the Sandman was just like Santa Claus.

We knew he existed, didn’t we? And yet we didn’t see him, or hear him, or feel his touch. Well, she said, it was the same with the Sandman.

And so like Santa Claus who I knew existed, but who I never saw, and just like the cream in the milk cans would rise to the top overnight, or how it would change to butter when churned, or how old Mrs. Beam seemed to know exactly what to do when we were hit with the measles or the chicken pox, there was no explanation.

The Sandman was simply unseen but was there putting me to sleep when I least expected it. I put it all down to just plain old Renfrew County magic.

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

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.

By Shawn Ryan, CFP, TEP Partner and Senior Insurance and Estate Planner Scrivens Insurance and Financial Solutions

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.

Here is a scenario where a mother owns purchase a permanent life insurance policy a family business and wishes to gift the for $500,000 and donate the proceeds to shares to her adult children through a charity through her Will. provision in her Will. She wants to eliminate This is a win-win for both her family and capital gains taxes of the shares payable the charity. She will own the policy during at her death. The taxable capital gains her lifetime and name her estate as policy reportable on the deemed disposition of beneficiary. She will direct that a gift in an shares on death is $500,000 and tax owing amount equal to the life insurance proceeds on this amount is $230,000 (base on a be paid to a charity named in the Will.

This credit has completely eliminated the tax liability on the shares at death and

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.

Kids love to dance!

When your kids just ‘gotta dance’, the City of Ottawa offers a variety of classes and activities that will keep their toes tapping and body rocking. Check out the Recreation eGuide online at ottawa.ca and choose from the countless options offered.

Dancing is great exercise for kids of all ages. For younger children, it’s a fun introduction to physical fitness that also helps with coordination, balance, flexibility, strength, stamina, discipline and memory. They will also learn to follow instructions and develop an appreciation for different styles of music.

Through programs such as Music and Movement and Creative Movement, toddlers as young as three can explore their natural response to music and rhythm while expanding their creative scope and gaining confidence in their abilities. These programs provide a fun and casual approach to practicing basic and fine motor skills and learning about body awareness and space.

Classes in pre-ballet, jazz and hip hop will teach your tiny dancer the fundamentals and techniques of specific dance styles. It’s a great introduction to more formal and focused dance classes. A performance for an admiring audience of moms, dads and family members completes the session.

Older children can choose from a variety of dance styles. Whatever strikes their fancy; we’ve got it - including Broadway, contemporary and hip hop. Our classes cover a gamut of styles made popular by television dance shows.

Have a child interested in learning a bit of everything? A dance mix class allows your child to generate his or her own choreography and experiment with a variety performance styles. Classes such as acrobatic dance combines dance steps and combos with free- floor gymnastics. Give your child the chance to express, move and create through dance! Our dance classes are fun, affordable and conveniently located in your neighbourhood.

PC User’s group launches new set of tech seminars michelle.nash@metroland.com

If your New Year’s resolution is to become more tech savvy, the Ottawa PC User’s group and the Ottawa Public Library have just the evening planned for you.

The two organizations partnered in 2008 to offer free classes for interested individuals looking to learn more about everything from digital photography, media streaming and to how the Internet works.

Starting in February the group will offer a new set of seminars to help keep people up-to-date with new technology as well as showcase the latest advances with PC computers.

“Really, really informative,” said Jeff Dubois, a PC User group member.

“That’s actually how I first got involved with the group at one of the presentations at the library and thought ‘Wow, these guys really know what they are talking about.’ ”

Dubois is one of the group members who volunteers his time to present at the seminars, which take place across the city at various library branches.

The first seminar will be at the Hazeldean Branch in Kanata and will look at how to buy a digital camera.

The group’s president, Chris Taylor will give the presentation, which begins at 6:30 p.m. and will look the choices of cameras, as well as what buyers should focus on when looking for the ideal device.

This past November marked the group’s 200th seminar for the library.

The Ottawa PC User’s Group formed in the 1980s and since helped spread knowledge to Ottawa residents.

The group meets on the second Wednesday of each month at the Aviation and Space Museum.

Each meeting begins with a special guest speaker and then divides up for members

to discuss more precise problems or specific topics.

“It’s a great group of people and a wealth of knowledge,” Dubois said.

“Guests are always encouraged to come out as there is so much knowledge - so many ways to maximize your computer use.

Even if you are a casual computer user, it’s great. You can`t beat it.”

Aside from its volunteer seminars with the library, the group also hosts two annual events, an e-waste event in the spring and a silent auction in December which raises money for the Ottawa Food Bank. This year the group donated $419 to the charity.

“For a group of computer enthusiasts we are pretty happy about the money we can raise,” Dubois said.

The Ottawa Public Library seminars begin on Feb. 10 and run until March 30.

More information on the group or its upcoming seminar list is available at opcug.ca.

Welcome to 2015, the Year of the Goat (I mean sheep!)

“I am a passive onlooker I let bygones be bygones Goodness brings me fortune I believe in the human race I understand the meaning of living My cup is never empty I am loyal and just and in others I trust I am the SHEEP.”

W

ell, that’s Gracie, to a tee. My beloved sheep – the last remaining one of our herd. She doesn’t get involved (sheep are known for their ability to just keep on eating, minding their own business, when one of their herd is being taken down by a coyote right beside them!), she doesn’t hold a grudge and she recognizes the hand that feeds her.

It just makes me laugh that the Chinese zodiac can’t seem to decide whether 2015 is Year of the Sheep or Year of the Goat, because we have had many visitors to the

The Accidental Farmwife Diana Fisher

farm calling our animals goats. I’ve never had a goat. The Farmer won’t let me have a goat, based on a bad experience that he once had with the creatures.

Back when he was working out west with Manitoba Agriculture he was visiting a client, in the company K-car. He left a car full of paperwork with the windows open.

The resident goats took notice of the opportunity and climbed into the car via the open windows.

By the time he emerged from the home close to an hour later, the car had been completely stripped of upholstery, paperwork, briefcase

and all. He will never look at a goat the same way again. To him they are not cute and clever farm pets. They are wily, destructive beasts.

Another friend had goats on her farm, until they were visited one day by some friends with shiny sports cars.

The classic cars were gleaming from fender to fender and the goats, allowed free range of the property, wandered up to see themselves in the reflection.

The reflections must have appeared slightly haughty – even confrontational – because the goats proceeded to ram the side of the shiny car. When that car was removed, someone else parked in the same spot with an equally glossy ride and it happened all over again.

But who do you blame?

The goats for being goats? Or the farmer who let them roam without fences?

I don’t think these stories should necessarily deter us from getting

goats. It is a growing market in Canada and I think they are lovely.

But we do have to be realistic about their tendencies and behaviour. Our cars are nowhere near glossy and we have fencing so we should be safe.

2015 is really the Year of the Ram. That covers both sheep and goats. And it doesn’t begin officially until Chinese New Year, which is February 19th. Every twelve years, there is another Year of the Sheep.

So if you were born in ’55, ’67, ’79, ’91 or 2003, you are under this Chinese zodiac sign. You can look yourself up online to read about your supposed positive attributes and negative characteristics, your ideal career and even the sign of your ideal mate.

The sheep is the eighth Chinese zodiac sign, and the number 8 is a good one in terms of Chinese numerology. It symbolizes peace and prosperity because it “sounds like” the words for these ideas.

At the same time, it says the

sheep is destined to a rough lot in life. Sounds a bit contradictory, does it not? Oh well. It’s astrology. Take it or leave it.

Sheep-sign people are said to be artistic and inspiring.

According to Chinese superstition it is bad luck to be born in a Year of the Sheep. Well, Michelangelo, Mark Twain, Thomas Alva Edison, Muhammad Ali, Rudolph Valentino and Pierre Trudeau were all born under the sign of the Sheep. Not baaaaaad.

No matter what your sign, it’s time to celebrate the potential opportunities of the coming year.

Open the door to 2015, hold your head high and go forward to face and receive whatever it brings!

Happy New Year to you and yours from me, and the Farmer (and Gracie). dianafisher1@gmail.com www.theaccidentalfarmwife. blogspot.com

Trillium Line Extension to Riverside South and the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport Environmental Assessment Study Open House The City of Ottawa has initiated an Environmental Assessment Study to develop an approved plan to extend the City’s existing diesel-powered Trillium Line (O-Train) service from Greenboro Station to Riverside South (Bowesville Road), as well as a branch line to the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport and new or relocated stations at Gladstone Avenue, Confederation Heights and Walkley Road.

The study is being undertaken in accordance with the transit project assessment process as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects.

The primary study area includes the existing Trillium Line corridor between Bayview and Greenboro Stations, the current Walkley Yard maintenance and storage facility, and the proposed southern extension from Greenboro Station to Riverside South (Bowesville Road) and the Ottawa International Airport.

The plan will include options to serve the growing communities of Riverside South and Leitrim, the Airport and adjacent lands, as well as new or relocated stations at Gladstone Avenue, Confederation Heights and Walkley Road on the existing Trillium line. The plan also allows for a future conversion to electric light rail transit (LRT) technology.

The Trillium Line extension is one of three environmental assessment studies underway as part of Stage 2, the City’s plan to extend the benefits of rail to residents further east, west and south that will add 19 new stations and 35 kilometres to our LRT network.

Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accommodation, please call 3-1-1 or e-mail the project lead below before the event.

No new police officers for the fifth year running Officers’ time has been freed up by shifting resources,police chief says Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

Despite saying 2015 was the year the police service would finally add new officers after years of austerity, police Chief Charles Bordeleau said the service has scrapped a plan to

hire 23 additional officers next year.

City council recently decided that each department’s budget will only be allowed to increase by a maximum of two per cent in 2015 – including the police service budget.

That will mean the police force won’t grow to keep up with the burgeoning population of the city, Bordeleau said.

The last time additional members were added to the force was 2010, said Carole Lavigne, spokeswoman for the Ottawa Police Service.

The 2015 police budget will be introduced at the board’s Feb. 4 meeting.

The Ottawa Police Service currently has 1,334 sworn officers and the equivalent of just over 596 fulltime civilian employees.

The police force was originally supposed to get 23 new sworn and civilian members in 2011 and similar increases were planned for each year for the rest of the council term until 2014.

When the planned new positions were eliminated in 2011, the police services board was told the move would save $500,000 in salaries and $300,000 in training that year.

Acting staff Sgt. Kenny Bryden, head of the guns and gangs unit and the direct action response team (DART), was blunt about the need for more officers.

“We are in need of more manpower,” he wrote in an email.

Bordeleau confirmed a recent increase in gang activity and shootings in the city’s west end has led the police to reallocate officers from other areas of the city to the serve the west end.

“We are able to shift resources where they are most needed,” he

Police Chief Charles Bordeleau says the 23 additional employees the force was planning to add in 2015 won’t happen due to budget constraints. said.

“It does put some pressure on certain areas, but we’re able to identify priorities and come together to deal with the problem.”

The Ottawa police will focus on ensuring it has the “right resourc-

es in the right places,” Bordeleau said, and that includes shedding responsibilities such as collision reporting, police background checks and other services the police have put online or assigned to civilian employees.

“We’re always looking at efficiencies and finding new ways of doing business and to see how we can focus on the service we are providing our residents,” Bordeleau said.

“We are confident the services we are providing our residents will not be impacted by absorbing growth within the police service for the next year.”

For instance, Bordeleau said the introduction of collision reporting centres has put the service well on the way to avoiding 9,600 hours of police time spent on vehicular crash reporting annually. “(It frees) them up so they can respond to higher priority calls for service,” Bordeleau said.

Collision reporting centres were also expected to raise $750,000 in revenue for the police service in 2014 – about $50,000 less than originally predicted.

Two Pet Rats spotted at Osgoode Public School

By Dosi Cotroneo

rities what with their school tours and presentations across Canada and into the United States. Just who are these “two pet rats” and what were they doing at Osgoode Public School in the first place?

By now, many have heard of the infamous “2 Pet Rats” who have been scurrying

Two pet rats rats caused more than a commotion in the gymnasium of Osgoode Public School on the morning of Tuesday, November 21, 2014. No strangers to a roaring raucous of rambunctious young students, the Two Pet Rats have become local celeb-

across the country delivering their message of “acceptance” to thousands upon thousands of young students. Through their two published picture books, book tours, interviews, and fun videos, Tommy and Melanie Glatzmayer and their “two pet rats” have taken school assemblies by storm.

experience for the brother/ sister duo, morphed into a labour of love that would help thousands understand that we are all different, and we are all special. In grade one, Tommy came home from school crying because his friends were teasing his sister, Melanie. His friends did not understand what made Melanie different. Six year old Tommy decided then and there that he wanted to write a book to teach his friends about his sister’s rare syndrome, Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS) while still entertaining them.

In no time, the book “Tommy and Melanie have Two Pet Rats and One Syndrome” was created by Tommy and his mother Nathalie Wendling.

So began the series of school tours for this tag team, who, along with their two pet rats, have mastered the art of presenting their message of acceptance to audiences big and

small, far and wide.

During Osgoode Public School’s Anti-Bullying Week, Tommy and Melanie and their two pet rats were invited to present their message.

This was their first visit to the school, and they received rave reviews from both students and staff alike.

Osgoode Public School principal Carmen McKay said the students were not sure what they were in for, as their teachers had not revealed much about the young pair, and anxiously anticipated what this assembly was all about. “The students were beyond excited when they were asked if they wanted to see the rats. They were roaring and cheering, and loved the hilarious video.”

Along with the fun and excitement of having two pet rats in their school, the students enjoyed the interview segment of the presentation.

Osgoode Public School’s only

male teacher, Corey Fitzgerald, is no stranger to Tommy and Melanie, as he taught Tommy last year at Kars on the Rideau Public School.

Following their interview, the students were invited to ask questions.“The students asked a lot of questions and it was clear that they understood Tommy and Melanie’s message is acceptance of everyone, and that it is okay to be different.

You are fine just the way you are and everybody has a talent. Our school has 227 students from junior kindergarten to grade 6 and they all had a wonderful time,” said McKay. Tommy and Melanie and their two pet rats donated copies of their books to the school library for all of the students to enjoy.
