South end councillors ask for local truck study updated numbers on truck traffic in all three wards.

“We asked staff for ... a small-scale study, some numbers and stats so we know what we’re dealing with,” Darouze said. “The (Vimy Memorial) Bridge has just opened up so we really don’t know the dynamics and where the traffic’s going.”

Residents, particularly those from the village of

Manotick, have been demanding to see changes to the city’s truck routes in the south end to make better use of the new bridge, which opened in July between Riverside South and Barrhaven after several years of delays.

While the numbers of vehicles using Bridge Street in Manotick have dropped since the new span opened, residents want to see the Vimy and Hunt Club bridges pulling even more weight.

A video to that effect has been circulating on social media, citing city numbers that showed 82 heavy trucks per lane per day crossed the new bridge during an October traffic count.

In contrast, 399 trucks per lane per day crossed the Manotick bridge. Moffatt said those numbers are skewed by the fact that the Vimy and Hunt Club bridges have twice the number of lanes as Manotick.

O-Train extension should come further, faster: residents Emma Jackson

beginning with a new station at Gladstone Ave between Bayview and Carling stations and another at Walkley Road along the Transitway.

A new South Keys station would become a bustling transit hub with commuters transferring to catch airport-bound trains or to go downtown.

South of there, stations would be added at Leitrim Road and Bowesville, with an airport branch peeling off between South Keys and Leitrim to create stations at the EY Centre and the airport’s busy passenger terminal.

All of the work would leave room for future conversion to twin-track electric rail sometime after 2031. The Trillium line currently uses diesel trains.

City planner Colin Simpson said the extension is an “affordable interim plan” that will provide more transit options for riders while the city works toward its ultimate R0013096502-0122

Alta Vista resident Mike Banks spends 45 minutes on the bus every morning to get downtown.

But he’d rather live more cheaply in the suburbs if he could still get to work on time – or even earlier.

“My dream is to move to Riverside South and then commute by train,” Banks said.

If the O-Train were to connect to Bowesville Road just north of Riverside South, he and his young family would move there “in a second,” he said.

That’s exactly what the city is proposing to do, although the extension of what the city now calls the Trillium Line – the north-south O-Train that currently ends at Greenboro station – is still in its infancy, with no timeline worked out and no budget

dollars secured.

At a meeting at the Jim Durrell arena on Jan. 13 residents got a detailed look at the city’s plans to bring the train further south to Bowesville Road, with a branch to the Ottawa International Airport.

The meeting was part of an environmental assessment process that city planners hope to formally wrap up by December of this year.

After that, it’s not clear how long it will take to put the plan into action; it has, however, been approved as part of the 2013 transportation master plan.

The extension is part of the city’s larger transit extension project it calls Stage 2, which includes the east-west Confederation Line through the downtown. Stage 2 will eventually add 35 kilometres of new rail to the city’s network and 19 new stations.

Several of those will be located along the Trillium Line,

Residents consider the city’s proposed O-Train extension plans at an open house in the Jim Durrell arena on Jan. 13. transit network goals that would take light rail into Barrhaven and Riverside South, as well as further east and west. He said the extension on the table now will accommodate ridership demands until about 2031.

Osgoode Coun. George Darouze said the extension would bring more options to residents in the south end, which will help take pressure off the busy road network that rural and suburban residents rely on.

“For us it’s important because there’s always talk

about congestion and expanding roads, but right now there is no appetite for that,” Darouze said. “I personally think this should have happened a long time ago.”

And some residents want to see it not only faster, but further: Walkley resident Will Rose said he can’t fathom why city planners would stop just short of Riverside South.

“I want to know why they’re going to end the train at Bowesville in a farmer’s field,” Rose said. He speculated that south-end drivers won’t stop at the planned

2,500-spot park and ride to catch a train when they could just continue up Limebank Road in their cars.

“Why not just do (extend to Riverside South) now,” he asked. “Building one station instead of two seems more expensive in the end.”

Peter Steacy with the MMM Group leading the environmental assessment said the decision to stop short is largely due to technology. The city’s Official Plan requires diesel trains to be grade separated at road crossings, he said, but not electric light rail trains.

Once the city converts entirely to electric tracks, they can bring the system into the suburbs.

The open house, along with another in Little Italy on Jan. 15, showed residents the various options for station placement, grade separation and operation models.

Planners had to take the Leitrim wetlands into account when planning the preferred grade separation options for the south end extension.

Where the track crosses Lester Road, the O-Train tracks will be built on an overpass.

At Leitrim Road, however, the road will go over the train tracks so it doesn’t have to be rebuilt in 20 years when Leitrim is realigned further south to accommodate a new airport runway.

Feedback on the project can be sent to colin. simpson@ottawa.ca.

Public’s input sought on plans to widen Airport Parkway Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Without the widening of the heavily congested Airport Parkway and the O-Train extension to Riverside South, traffic will only get worse, says the association president representing Riverside Park.

David Hutchinson’s community regularly experiences traffic backlogs on Riverside Drive, some of which are due to motorists opting out of using the predominantly two-lane parkway.

Both the parkway and Riverside Drive are bursting at the seams due to booming growth in Riverside South and Findlay Creek.

“The fact is the congestion will just be worse in a year if we don’t (widen the parkway) because the development is a fact, it’s there,” said Hutchinson.

“With so many people in Riverside South, we need that Airport Parkway corridor to be better utilized.”

The city has begun its environmental assessment study of the widening of the Airport Parkway between Brookfield Road and the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport, as well as the widening of Lester Road between the airport and Bank Street.

The project will cost an estimated $84.3 million, spread out over three

phases of construction: • Before 2019: Airport Parkway from Brookfield Road to Hunt Club: $31.4 M • 2020-2025: Lester Road from Airport to Bank Street: $16.7 M • 2026 to 2031: Airport Parkway from Hunt Club to Airport/Uplands: $36.2 M. Once the environmental assessment is completed the project will seek funding approval before it goes to tender.

The first of three open houses during the environmental assessment study is scheduled for Jan. 27 from 6 to 8:30 p.m., at the Jim Durrell Recreation Centre off Walkley Road. A presentation will begin at 7 p.m.

“I really think twinning the parkway and the O-Train improvements, extensions are fundamental to balancing the traffic patterns north and south,” said Hutchinson. “We can’t have Riverside Drive taking as much of a load as it is.

It’s just not capable of doing that.”

River Ward Coun. Riley Brockington agrees traffic volumes justify widening the parkway.

Traffic along Hunt Club Road is “an absolute mess,” he said. “The Hunt Club bridge (between Prince of Wales and Riverside drives) is a disaster as far as the gridlock.”

Brockington said it is imperative to expedite the construction of the OTrain extension southbound as soon as possible, though it likely can’t be sooner than four years.

“But ... the optics of widening the parkway before we expand the OTrain, to me, don’t make sense,” he said. “You should exhaust your public transportation options first and then as a last resort build more streets or widen the streets.

The widening project is “definitely a priority” for Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish, whose ward includes Findlay Creek and Riverside South. He also sits on the city’s transportation committee.

Findlay Creek area residents as well as some living in Riverside South would be better served with the widening of the parkway, which, for the most part, has two opposing lanes of traffic, he said. Lester Road is also two lanes.

Findlay Creek would also see benefits from the phased widening of Bank Street, which is also included in the city’s most recent Transportation Master Plan.

“I think a lot of it is the continued development of our infrastructure – (making) sure that we’re catching up with the development and growth that

Over the course of the study, the team will determine how best to accommodate and manage increasing transportation needs in consideration of nearby residential growth and the development of airport lands, the city said on its website.

Over the course of the study, alternative designs will be developed, assessed and evaluated. The recommended plan that’s developed will go before city council for approval.

Though these projects are included in the master plan, council should still push hard for improvements to the parkway and Bank Street, “and anything we can do to move them up is something that I’m going to be looking into,” he said.

Marionville receives city boost for park benches Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Submitted

The Marionville Citizens’ Committee spearheaded a project to build a public gazebo in Séraphin Park last year. The committee just received more than $6,000 to install more benches and tables in the community space.

Manotick News - Thursday, January 22, 2015

A village caught between three townships has received a grant for $6,289 from the city of Ottawa to help spruce up its community park.

The Marionville Citizens Committee received the money from the city’s Rural Community-Building Grant program, and association president François Marion said the money will be used to make Séraphin Marion Park more welcoming to all residents.

“We’re trying to make an all-encompassing area where people can gather, can do family things or community events,” he said. “We didn’t really have such a place in Marionville and Séraphin Park is sort of the hub of the community.”

The committee will use the city’s grant money to install more benches and picnic tables

in the park, which is located behind the community centre off Gregoire Road.

The park is technically part of the township of Russell, but the village is also partially covered by the city of Ottawa and the township of North Dundas.

Marion said the committee is in discussions with the other two municipalities to see if more funding can be included in their 2015 budgets.

“I put a proposal in for the North Dundas budget ... and I’m confident they’ll come through, but I can’t confirm at this point,” he said. As for Russell, “it’s still too early to announce the outcome.”

Marion said the project is phase two of a larger effort to improve the park.

Phase one centered around installing a gazebo in the park at a cost of about $36,000 last year.

The committee fundraised about $10,000 and the Township of

Russell kicked in the rest.

This year’s phase has a budget of about $15,000 and would include benches, picnic tables and some landscaping around the gazebo.

If they are successful in their bids for funding this year, Marion said the phase two upgrades could also include a lawn bowling court at the park.

He hopes to have everything wrapped up by early summer.

“There’s some infrastructure work to be done like cement pads so we’re a little bit subject to Mother Nature,” Marion said.

Marion helped found the citizens’ committee in 2011.

He said it has helped the three municipalities better serve the southeastern hamlet.

“It has opened up the communication line between the three entities and we’re trying to maximize opportunities to work in a collaborative effort,” Marion said.

Hydro One to clear brush from Hawthorne Road to Kars Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

ALEX ROBINSON/METROLAND

Light up the night Jane Hayes, 10, and her sister Zoey put the finishing touches on their night-lights at a kid’s craft day at Osgoode Township Museum on Jan. 10.

Property owners along a hydro line running from Hawthorne Road to the village of Kars can expect to hear from Hydro One this month about routine brush removal.

Hydro One spokeswoman Nancy Shaddick said the province’s largest power distributer is in the process of mailing out notices to property owners along the 41-kilometre line, and expects work to begin by the end of February. It will continue into the summer months.

Technicians will remove hazardous trees, trim branches and clear out tall brush that can impact the line’s reliability, Shaddick said.

Where technicians deem it necessary, they may ask property owners to allow “a minimal amount of herbicide” to be applied to an area, she added.

“An example would be if there’s tall-growing vegetation that can impact the power line, they remove the vegetation from the stump. We would request to apply a minimal amount to the stump which prevents sucker

growth,” Shaddick said.

According to the Hydro One website, some trees can actually become more of a problem if they are simply cut back.

“Cutting a single stem of poplar or birch brush can cause many stems to sprout up from the established root system and actually increase the brush density over time,” the website said.

The herbicide is a mixture of Garlon Ultra and mineral oil, according to notices already sent to property owners.

If the owners refuse, she said the workers can use other means to keep the area clear of hazardous plants, including machines that churn up the soil.

She said that trees touching and falling on hydro lines account for more than 30 per cent of power outages across the province.

As routine maintenance, Shaddick said the work won’t cost anything for the property owners. This routine work was last done in the area in 2008.

Greely teen to strut his stuff at Ottawa teen showcase Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Few eighth graders know what they want out of life, but then again few eighth graders are anything like Jake Hamilton.

The ambitious Greely teen wants to see his name in lights, and he’s not going to wait around until he’s an adult to make sure it happens.

On Jan. 24 and 25, Hamilton will be one of 14 teenagers on stage at Centrepointe Theatre in Nepean for a teen showcase produced by Suzart Productions, an Ottawa company that takes pride in fostering young talent.

The shows will feature pop songs, Broadway tunes, comedy and dance numbers put together by Suzart’s best youth performers. Even the sound and lighting will be led by teens, under the direction of an adult.

Saturday’s show begins at 7:30 p.m. while Sunday offers a matinee starting at 1:30

p.m.

Hamilton will sing several Bruno Mars numbers, including his latest hit Uptown Funk, and he’ll perform lead vocals for a group performance of Pharrell’s Happy.

Hamilton is no stranger to the stage; he had his first taste as a munchkin in the Greely Players’ production of Wizard of Oz when he was in Grade 6.

It didn’t take much for the Broadway bug to take hold, and before long he was on stage again, this time as one of the three pigs in Suzart’s Shrek: the Musical.

“That was the first time I ever felt like a lead,” Hamilton said. He wrapped that production completely hopped up on a desire to do more.

In May 2014, he played Joseph’s youngest brother in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, a role that got him his own action scene when his character was accused of stealing.

That role taught him some important showbiz

Greely teen Jake Hamilton dreams of making it big on Broadway. lessons, he said.

“That scene was scary, because about nine people all

lined up and threw me from person to person,” Hamilton explained. “One night they

dropped me, but caught me at the last minute.”

They were able to continue on like nothing happened, but it prepared Hamilton for future awkward moments – like the time during Guys and Dolls Jr. last summer when an entire set fell down during his scene. He managed to crack a joke about how this darn place was falling down around his ears, leaving the audience roaring.

Hamilton played Nicely Nicely Johnson in that production, giving him a chance to stretch his comedic muscles and enjoy centre stage before taking a chorus role in the Orpheus production of Fiddler on the Roof this fall.

While it may sound like a step backward, Hamilton said the chorus opportunity was huge.

“Orpheus is so professional,” he said. “It was an amazing experience. When you stand on stage in front of 1,000 people, you know someone’s always looking at you even if you’re in the cho-

rus. That motivates you to do well.”

Hamilton currently spends about 18 hours in rehearsals a week, on top of school and basketball. That will only get more hectic heading into March when he ramps up rehearsals for the Glebe Community Centre’s production of Oliver, in which he plays the title role.

He dreams of someday playing Marius in Les Miserables, Clyde in Bonnie and Clyde: the Musical and Elder Kevin Price in the Book of Mormon.

In the meantime, he’s just auditioned to get into Canterbury High School’s drama program, something he’s been looking forward to since he first heard about it five years ago when his family moved to Greely from Oakville, ON. “It’s just another stepping to getting where I want to go,” Hamilton said.

Tickets for the upcoming teen showcase are $25 each and can be purchased through centrepointetheatres.com.

GIFTING TO CHARITY IS NOT JUST FOR THE WEALTHY. A LITTLE BIT GOES A LONG WAY!

Bargain books support Metcalfe family centre Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

Booklovers can find great deals in support of a Metcalfe institution this weekend as Rural Family Connections hosts its fifth annual Used Books and Beans sale.

From 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., on Jan. 24, the non-profit resource centre that runs the Metcalfe co-operative nursery school and a home daycare program will fill the hall at Holy Trinity Anglican Church with hundreds of used books ranging from children’s board books to adult non-fiction.

The Tim Hortons community cruiser will be on site to

offer free coffee and timbits while shoppers browse, according to Rural Family Connections office manager Leigh Gillies.

She said the organization hopes to bring in about $1,500 to support programs run through the centre, located in the basement of the Metcalfe town hall. That includes dropin programs, day care playdates, a ready-to-learn kindergarten prep course and access to parent resources.

She said the centre has had to focus more on community fundraising events in recent years since the United Way stopped funding the organization.

“They’ve changed their portfolio of what they’re giving money for, and we don’t fall into that,” Gillies said.

“They’re looking more at food security, at seniors, at youth.

We’re more six and under.”

The centre hosts an annual golf tournament that raises about $8,000 each year, and several garage sales collectively bring in another $6,000.

Of course, parents also pay for the daycare and nursery school services the centre provides.

Gillies said the books will be priced between $0.50 and $2.50. The church is located at 8140 Victoria St. downtown Metcalfe.

Time to ask for some help

I

t seems Ottawa is once again picking up the provincial government’s slack, but this time it’s at the municipality’s request.

Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson is proposing the city take the lead on a proactive measure designed to help young gang members break their criminal ties when they are released from jail.

After meeting with Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau on Jan. 12 to discuss a spike in gang violence across the city in 2014, Watson promised to find funding in the municipal budget to pay for a new “exit strategy� program.

Keep in mind, this is coming from a mayor who has pledged to cap annual budget increases at two per cent during his four-year term of office.

City hall is obviously feeling the pressure to do something after the city was rocked with a record 49 shootings – many of them gang related – last year.

A few councillors had even suggested providing money to hire more officers, giving Bordeleau the opening to break a police hiring freeze.

But the police chief says he has no intention of

requesting additional funds, and instead is beefing up the guns and gangs section by using officers from other units.

Of course, this is only a temporary solution, but then again, the spike in gang-related violence is a temporary situation, not a continuing trend, according to Bordeleau.

We won’t see immediate results from the mayor’s suggested exit strategy for gang members – this is a long term solution which will only bear fruit over the years to come.

As laudable a program as the exit strategy may be, we question the reason why the funding must come from the city’s coffers.

Any program attacking the rate of re-offence among young offenders should fall under the purview of the provincial or federal governments.

We applaud city council for taking the initiative, but perhaps the mayor should consider making a phone call to Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi, a local MPP and, co-incidentally, also the minister of community safety and correctional services.

When a bookstore shuts down, a depressingly familiar event in this town, there is a chorus of lament from book-lovers. When a familiar smoke shop shuts down, as Brittons did last week, the media are full of lamentations from former customers.

It’s all sincere. We like little bookstores. We hate it when they disappear. We love smoke shops, the ones with magazines and newspapers from all around the world. We want them always to be there.

But then, when was the last time we were in one? And don’t we read newspapers from all over the world online now? And don’t we buy online

Not that it will make any of us feel better, but it’s helpful, in facing up to change, to recognize that change isn’t some disembodied force that swoops down on us, closing book stores. Change comes, at least in part, from decisions we make. We could probably have stopped some of it, or at least slowed it.

Some of the decisions we make are smart ones, some are just lazy

and some are mixed. For example, it was smart to quit smoking, even though one of the functions of a smoke shop is to sell smokes.

But, buying magazine subscriptions online? Well, we could argue that we are saving trees by cutting down the volume of paper we purchase. But it could also be said that we were too lazy to support the store that sold those magazines. Maybe we didn’t think about the consequences.

The same goes for bookstores.

First we moved away from the smaller stores to the big chains, because of greater variety and discounted prices.

Hunt Club exchange, bridge have changed truck traffic patterns Continued from page 1

But residents continue to clamour for added truck route connections that would make it easier for truck drivers to access the new bridge.

While the Vimy bridge it-

self is designated for trucks, right now only Leitrim and Mitch Owens roads are designated for full truck loads, and Rideau and River roads are restricted truck routes.

Darouze said once he has more information about where trucks and cars are go-

File/metroland

The Vimy Bridge has made a difference to traffic flow in Manotick but residents expect it to do more.

ing in the region, he can then take that information back to the community to look for solutions.

“We need to use the proactive approach rather than wait till it’s a bigger issue than it is,” he said.

Moffatt signed his name to the email Darouze sent to traffic services manager Phil Landry, and said any changes that are made will have to finely balance the needs of Osgoode and Rideau-Goulbourn residents.

“We’re looking to change volumes on our side of the river (in Manotick) and it makes it difficult because you could be asking another ward to be taking some more vehicles to benefit a different ward,” he said. “You have to weigh the pros and cons.”

He added that there are “only so many options” – and staff have to take into account where trucks need to go, as well.

That said, Moffatt agreed with Darouze that the southern wards can’t wait for a

far-off city-wide truck study to find solutions.

“The Hunt Club extension out to Hwy 417, that should have an impact on the south end (and) we know the Vimy Memorial Bridge has changed some patterns,” he said. “So has that created any changes in the traffic patterns for trucks? Are we getting full optimization?

Are there roads that could be upgraded to truck routes now in their current state?”

At this point Moffatt said there’s no indication of what a regional study might cost; a city-wide study has been estimated at about $500,000, so he said it would likely be less than that.

But Moffatt said “now is the time” to start a conversa-

tion about finding money for a south-end study, with budget discussions set to start next month.

“We’re waiting to hear back about what it means, what the process is, what it would cost,” he said.

Qaqish, who represents the ward in which the new bridge is located, could not be reached for comment.

Feel the warmth at Manotick’s Shiverfest Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

R0013097461

Manotick’s annual winter celebration promises to warm the cockles of every family member’s heart at the end of January.

From sleigh rides to live music and everything in be-

tween, the festival has lined up entertainment and activities for every age group, with all proceeds heading to the Youth of Manotick Association. That group has been fundraising to offer weekly youth programs in the village, with the ultimate goal of building a permanent youth centre.

The festival committee, a branch of the Manotick Village and Community Association, supported the youth group last year as well, bringing in about $1,200 according to lead organizer Jan Hynes.

The festival’s packed schedule begins Friday, Jan. 30 with a roaring bonfire in Centennial Park, where neighbours can come together for a cup of cocoa beginning at 6:30 p.m. At the arena next door, interested visitors can check out the Rideau Skating Club’s exhibition of its most talented figure skaters between 6 and 6:50 p.m. before lacing up and showing off their own skating skills during a family skate session at 7 p.m.

Afterward, families can feel the heat with Dr. Kaboom, who will offer a novelty and magic show from 8 to 9 p.m.

Saturday is by far the festival’s busiest day, kicking off with a pancake breakfast hosted by the Manotick Kiwanis between 7:30 and 11 a.m. in the arena hall. Entrance is $5 per person, with kids under

three getting in for free. Beginning at 9:30, kids ages two to six can also make a winter craft, get their face painted and take a tour of a local fire engine.

After breakfast families can take a spin around the village on a horse-drawn sleigh ride between 10 a.m. and noon, and use up some of their energy tobogganing on Manotick Mountain and skating on the outdoor rink.

Appetites should be raging once again by the time the chili cook-off begins inside the Manotick Legion at noon.

Guests pay only $5 to become one of hundreds of judges who can taste as many chilis as they like until 2:30 p.m. Those who want to compete for the Golden Spoon can register at chili@manotickcva.org or call 613-371-1158.

If you’re too squeamish for chili but want to hang out with bugs and reptiles, families can head back to the arena hall to see a show from Little Ray’s Reptiles between 1 and 2 p.m.

And Saturday night is sure

to rock as well, as local bands come out for a youth dance between 6 and 9 p.m. in the arena hall.

Admission is free, and a can of pop and slice of pizza is only $3.

“Last year was marvelous,” said Hynes. “The talent that I saw, it was absolutely amazing.”

She said the first year they ran the Amp It Up event, few kids came out because Shiverfest was held during the week of high school exams. Now that the festival has been moved to the last week of January, Hynes said the event attracts hundreds of teenagers.

For adults looking for a little entertainment on Saturday night, the Hard Stone Grill will host an open mic night beginning at 8 p.m. Vocalists, instrumentalists and poets are invited to share up to two selections to highlight their talents.

The open mic night is a regular event that takes place the last Saturday of every month, but since it dovetails with Shiverfest’s schedule Hynes said the organizers take the opportunity to promote it in the community.

On Sunday, Feb. 1 local historians and competitive know-

it-alls alike can duke it out at the annual trivia contest at the Mill Tavern between 1 and 4 p.m. Hynes said the event is by far the biggest fundraiser of the weekend, so she wants to pack the house. Tickets are $15 each, and can be purchased through Manotick Office Pro. PHOTO CONTEST

The theme for this year’s photography contest is “Winter Magic in Manotick” and submissions will be accepted until Feb. 15.

Submissions can be emailed as attachments to manotickvca @gmail.com, including your name, phone number and a brief description of the picture, including the date it was taken and where.

The people’s choice award is decided by the number of “likes” it gets on the Manotick association’s Facebook page, and will be awarded a $50 gift certificate to Black’s Photography. The judge’s choice award will be decided by photographer Greg Newton, who will grant the winner a $100 gift certificate to the Black Dog Bistro.

MacLeod says Ontario PCs should not abandon ‘fiscal conservative roots’ Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

MPP Lisa MacLeod now include Christine Elliott, an MPP and the widow of deceased finance minister Jim Flaherty, MP Patrick Brown, as well as MPPs Vic Fedeli and Monte McNaughton.

MacLeod has received support from York Region and Simcoe County MPPs Julia Munro and Garfield Dunlop, as well as neighbouring MPPs Steve Clark (Leeds-Grenville) and Jim McDonnell (Stormont-Dundas-

South Glengarry).

She has not received endorsements from any federal MPs yet, but has received the support of Senator Bob Runciman, who used to be the Ontario PC’s interim leader.

The Nepean-Carleton MPP has hit the pavement and plans to travel to all of the province’s 107 ridings before party members cast their ballots for a new leader in May. “The values that we hold dear as Progressive Conservatives – living within our means, helping those who can’t help themselves, encouraging a strong economy in order to sustain our health care and education system, keeping our streets and our children safe – those are all values that we hold as Progressive Conservatives that are shared by the vast majority of the public,” MacLeod said. “We need to start communicating that again and I believe I’m the best person to be able to do that.”

R0013097484

Despite rumblings within some of Ontario’s Progressive Conservative party that it needs to move to the centre to be electable, Lisa MacLeod said the party “must maintain its fiscal conservative roots.”

“Ontarians expect us to be a fiscally conservative party,” she told Metroland Media.

“Where we can be better is by starting to talk about other issues, other than just the balance sheet.”

The Nepean-Carleton MPP launched a campaign in October to replace former leader Tim Hudak, who stepped down after his campaign sputtered in the last election.

Premier Kathleen Wynne’s Liberals won a 58-seat majority in the June contest, thumping the PCs in what became the rightwing party’s fourth consecutive election defeat. Critics blamed

Hudak’s platform, which promised to cut 100,000 civil service jobs, for driving away voters.

MacLeod, however, said the PC’s problem has not been that their policy has been too conservative, but that the party has failed to talk about anything but fiscal issues.

“We need to maintain credible fiscal conservative ideas, but at the same time we have to start talking about healthcare and education,” she said.

“When we talk about the sum of all of our parts we win and when we only talk about the balance sheet, we lose.”

MacLeod has represented Nepean-Carleton since 2006 and has served as opposition critic on a range of portfolios, including revenue, education, energy and the treasury board.

When she jumped into the race, MacLeod joined a crowded group of hopefuls vying to be their party’s next leader. They

Coming to terms with saying goodbye to donkey and friends

O

ccasionally when you live on a farm things become abundantly clear. This is going to be tough for me, and the Farmer as well. There will be a few tears – and there have been already, at least at my end. It’s time to say goodbye to Donkey, Gracie, Misty and Chelsea.

No, they don’t have to leave in one fell swoop. This isn’t an emergency; we’ve been considering it for months, since we

sion. I’ve been having trouble getting my head around it.

I didn’t grow up on a farm – I’ve only been on one for seven years so it’s a different way of thinking that I have had to adapt to. In my world growing up, animals were pets but they were also part of the family.

You committed to them, you did your best for them, and you didn’t re-home them unless it was absolutely necessary.

But on a farm, things are different. Every animal has a purpose. We are definitely downsizing, the Farmer and I. We sold all our sheep last year because I was finding it too exhausting, both physically and emotionally. So we really don’t need a sheepdog or a donkey anymore. I kept my favourite

sheep Gracie because she is more of a dog than a sheep – but without Donkey to protect her she will have to go, too. I don’t want to look out the window someday and see that she has been picked off by a coyote.

If Donkey leaves, Misty has to go too. Since her sister died, Donkey has been her best friend. I’m sure if left alone she would cope – maybe join up with Mocha or one of the more agreeable cows – but she really belongs with other horses. At 12 years she is middle-aged so I don’t know how much training she will accept but she is a beautiful animal if someone is looking for a companion for their horses.

The sheepdog, as I have written before, has taken up barking as a new occupation, with no sheep to herd. She is also getting on in years but would be far happier working on a sheep farm to the end of her days. It’s her most favourite thing to do in the whole world.

She’ll even herd people if you linger around in her space.

QUEEN MATTRESS SET

That’s why I think a working sheep farm would be the best place for her, with someone who understands high-strung Border Collies.

I don’t want them to just go anywhere. I need to know who will be caring for them after me.

So I woke up the other morning and realized, a friend a few concessions over has recently started into the lambing business, and she has had a few struggles. I think a donkey would solve her coyote problems, and he would also help bring the sheep up to the barn at night. Gracie would blend right in, and probably have another lamb or two before she retires as well.

If you’ve never had a donkey you haven’t witnessed their ability to communicate. They are keen surveyors of their kingdom, watching for anything that is amiss.

When the Farmer has changed the landscape even slightly, by bringing something large and colourful out to the burn barrel, or setting up tar-

gets in the middle of the field for practice, Donkey always has to comment.

He brays loudly, then slowly approaches the inanimate intruder to ensure everyone is safe. He is the perfect guardian of the farm.

On the other hand, he can get himself into some trouble, because of his horse-like tendency to get bored and mischievous.

So Donkey and Gracie will be heading to the sheep farm down the road, where I can visit them – and hopefully hear about them often, in the writings of their new owner. I know they will be happy there, and a welcome addition to another working sheep farm. That is their happy place. I can’t wait to see Gracie when she notices the other sheep.

Now to find a home for my big blonde girl, and my yappy little sheepdog. Any takers?

If you know of someone, please contact me. I’ll be the one over here looking dazed and confused, missing my pets.

Register Now For Winter Recreation Fun Don’t miss out on the fun this winter. Register now for a City of Ottawa recreation program offered at our many locations throughout the city.

The online Recreation eGuide and Mon guide francophone des loisirs offer a variety of instructional and recreational opportunities for all ages and abilities.

New program opportunities are also available this winter at the recently opened Minto Recreation Complex-Barrhaven including an indoor walking track, 25 metre lap pool, two NHL-size rinks and a full-size gymnasium.

Skating is a winter favourite and the City offers a number of learn-toskate programs.

You can also enjoy public skating at a City arena, or join your neighbours at the community outdoor rink. A trip to the Sens Rink of Dreams at City Hall or the new Skating Court at Lansdowne Park makes a perfect family outing along with a Beavertail and hot chocolate. A CSAapproved helmet is highly recommended during all skating sessions.

Please note that a client barcode and family PIN numbers are required to register for recreation programs. Visit ottawa.ca for more information.

Reminders for Clearing Snow On Private Property The Use and Care of Roads By-Law No. 2003-498 and Parks and Facilities By-Law No. 2004-276 prohibit the disposal of snow or ice on roadways or on parks. When clearing snow from your driveway or walkway (even if a contractor is doing it for you), snow and ice may not be pushed, thrown or otherwise deposited on the street, sidewalk or park.

Anyone charged with an offence may be subject to a fine.

MarketMobile 2015 The MarketMobile is an innovative initiative bringing fresh, affordable and culturally appropriate vegetables and fruit to Ottawa neighbourhoods that have limited access to healthy food. The project is an initiative of the Poverty and Hunger Working Group, in collaboration with multiple private, public and community partners including Ottawa Public Health, Ottawa Community Housing, the Coalition of Community Health and Resource Centres, Ottawa Poverty Reduction Network, Community Development Framework, Loblaws Rideau, CIBO Foods and Community Members.

We are currently taking applications for our 2015 locations. If your community is interested in hosting the MarketMobile every second week, from May to December, please submit the attached application as well as a letter of support from a community organization no later than Friday, February 2nd at 4:00 p.m. to Kaitrin.Doll@crcrr.org.

For more information on the MarketMobile, please visit www.marketmobileottawa.ca City of Ottawa Outdoor Rinks Join in the outdoor winter fun at one of the City of Ottawa’s 250+ outdoor rinks! Check the online map for the rink nearest you, including several in rural Ottawa: ottawa.ca.

City’s Approved Sledding Hills Are Open The City of Ottawa has opened its 57 approved sledding hills. Outdoors enthusiasts are invited to sled while weather and hill conditions permit, and to keep personal safety in mind while sledding.

Please note that certified multi-impact helmets are strongly recommended.

Throughout the season, follow the City on Twitter @ottcity for updates or check ottawa.ca to make sure the sledding hills are open.

Taggart-Miller CRRRC Taggart-Miller has proposed to build a Landfill/Recovery Centre on the east side of Boundary Road. The 500 acre site called the Capital Region Resource Recovery Centre (CRRRC) would take industrial, commercial, institutional, construction and demolition material. This sector of the waste industry is provincially regulated, although the City of Ottawa will need to give approval to the re-zoning of a section of the site.

Cheryl Cooper offers tips for staying safe this season Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

The arrival of ice and snow is heralded by hockey players young and old and cursed by commuters the world over.

And love it or hate it, with winter weather comes injury – whether you’re getting back into shape on your local ice pad or shovelling a three-car laneway clear of heavy, wet snow.

Cheryl Cooper, a physiotherapist and owner of Cooper Physiotherapy, just opened a new clinic in Greely.

She said every season has its trending injuries. In winter, it

tends to be back problems from all that snow shovelling, broken bones – ankles and arms, mostly – from slipping on the ice, and groin, shoulder and knee injuries among casual winter athletes (not least of all those beer league hockey players).

As Cooper and her team celebrated the opening of the new clinic, she had some advice for residents as they head out into that marshmallow world this winter.

SHOVEL SAFELY

“We always get reminded about preventing heart attacks while shovelling snow, but there are also concerns about back injuries,” Cooper said.

Especially if you lead a sedentary lifestyle, heading out to do an hour of heavy lifting can put strain on your body as well as your heart.

While Cooper said stretching is always recommended, she recognized that few shovellers will be warming up on their porch when they’ve got places to go.

To protect your back from injury, Cooper recommended a few precautionary measures: • Ditch that 40-year-old metal shovel you inherited with your father’s farm. There are plenty of ergonomic, lightweight tools on the market now that are much more back friendly.

• Bend your knees when you lift. “Use your legs as your strength and power,” Cooper said.

• Be careful not to twist your back when tossing the evil white stuff as far away from you as possible. “Move your feet in the direction that you’re moving the snow,” she said.

• Take breaks. Unless you’re in labour, it doesn’t have to all

be done at once, Cooper said.

If you can, break up a long laneway into several manageable chunks to give your back a rest.

PREVENTING FALLS

“The more ice we have, the more fractures we see: people coming in post-cast and postsurgery,” Cooper said. “People think slips and falls only happen to the elderly, but that’s not true. It’s all ages.”

She said a broken ankle can require months of rehab at a physiotherapy clinic, and can result in time off work and “a lot of adjustment in your day to day life,” she said.

To stay safe, Cooper recommended residents: • Salt pathways generously to break up ice hidden under the snow; • Invest in boots with sturdy tread, or buy traction devices like Yaktrax that can fit over your shoe.

HIT THE SLOPES, NOT YOUR HEAD

For those who like to make lemonade with lemons (or, perhaps, snowcones out of snowstorms) Cooper said winter athletes need to make sure they’re protecting themselves while having fun.

• Wear safety gear like helmets and wrist guards. “We see a lot of concussions, especially from hockey and snowboarding,” Cooper said.

• Make sure that gear fits properly. “Make sure the elbows pads meet the gloves, and that your knee pads actually cover your knees,” she said.

“In skiing, set your bindings properly so that when you do catch an edge your bindings release.”

Cooper opened her new clinic in the Greely village centre on Jan.5 as part of the Metcalfe Family Dental Clinic building.

She said her staff is already busy with up to 30 patients per day.

Cooper said she wanted to open a facility in Greely because it’s more central for clients coming home from down-

Skate party to support disadvantaged youth Manotick News staff

A group of Grade 6 students hope to raise money and awareness for kids less fortunate than them during a skating party at the Manotick arena this weekend.

Between 1:30 and 3:30 on Sunday, Jan. 25 families can lace up for a lap or two around the rink while enjoying popcorn, baked goods and hot chocolate.

The event will also include a silent auction offering, among other things, art

and quilts made by the students themselves.

The group is called Kids Helping Kids, and includes 50 Grade 6 students from St. Leonard Catholic School on Long Island Drive.

Teacher Steffanie Roy said the students each wrote a bucket list of 12 things they’d like to accomplish this year. Some of those students are going above and beyond to raise money for local charities and Free the Children, which supports educational projects around

Last year the group raised about $5,000 to help build a new school in Ecuador.

The grade raised the same amount the year before for an education project in Ghana.

Proceeds from the skating party, however, will stay local; Roy said they will likely donate the money to the Ottawa branch of the Children’s Aid Society.

Freshly fallen snow was perfect for wagon wheel game

I

t had snowed heavily through the night, and when we got to the Northcote School, Cecil was holding fort at the front gate.

“Don’t walk in the yard.

Stay on the path to the door,” he instructed all of us as we neared the school.

To go against Cecil could mean being maimed for life, so we did exactly as we were told. We knew why he was yelling out to us, of course.

The new snow would be just perfect for the big wagon wheel the senior boys would stamp out, creating a winter pastime every one of us loved, but I had trouble getting the hang of.

One path would lead to the wagon wheel, and you dare not put a foot off the path until you reached a starting point.

I never could figure out the real object of the game, but my friend Velma said it was the same as a game of tag.

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories You had to run around the rim of the wheel, being chased by the leader. You could use one of the stamped out spokes, and if you were lucky, you reached the hub, and then you became the chaser.

Of course, we younger girls didn’t have a chance in Hades of ever reaching the hub, but we ran like we were possessed nonetheless.

Miss Crosby, in a stroke of good humour, excused Emerson and Cecil long before recess so they could go out and stamp out the wheel in the new snow.

They came in just as the rest of the pupils were told

they could get on their winter garb and go outside.

Our recess back then was only 15 minutes long, but that was time enough for all of us to have a quick run around the wheel, with the promise from Cecil that we would get down to a more serious game when it came lunch time.

All the while he kept warning us not to put a foot off the path leading to the wheel, or to step off the wheel or spokes, or we would have him to deal with.

It was hard to concentrate on our schoolwork for the rest of the morning, but a few cracks of the yard stick across

Pet Adoptions

MIA (ID# A166457)

Meet Mia (ID# A166457), an affectionate kitty with sleek black fur seeking her happily ever after. Mia enjoys playing with soft toys and to would love to watch the world go by from a window in your living room. This beautiful girl wants you all to herself so she’d prefer to be the only kitty in your life. Mia is an extremely loving cat but prefers to come to you when she needs attention — she loves to rub her face against you, the wall, the chair, or anything that will sit still for her! She uses her scratching posts like a pro so she’d like to have one in her new forever home.

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

her desk by Miss Crosby was all we needed to get down to the serious reason of why we were in school.

Finally, the big CPR clock at the front of the room told it was lunchtime.

We ate up in a hurry, because we couldn’t wait to get outside to the wheel in the snow. Cecil and Emerson were the first to head out the door, and the roars we heard from outside could be witnessed over in Admaston.

When Velma and I finally managed to pile on the layers of winter clothes we wore at that time of year, and get out onto the front step, there was Cecil’s big Collie dog, sitting in the middle of the wheel like he owned the school yard.

It was obvious he had had a good run first.

He had followed the scent of his owner round and round, and he came to rest on the hub, and you couldn’t tell where the spokes ended and the rim

began. The snow game had been ruined.

It wasn’t unusual for Cecil’s old Collie to appear at the Northcote School. Often we would come out of the school, and see him sitting on the step waiting for Cecil.

As far as Cecil was concerned Sport (it seemed to me back then that everyone had a dog called Sport) could do no wrong. Well, that day Sport’s owner was not at all pleased.

“Git,” Cecil yelled. “Git home with you.”

Well, it seemed Sport knew an order from his owner when he heard it.

But instead of going out to the gate by the path, he took another cut around the yard, with his belly close to the ground, and whatever was left of the big wheel in the snow was gone forever.

Cecil and my brother Emerson went and hung from the gate, which had been opened, and it would stay that way for

the rest of the winter.

I wasn’t too disappointed in the turn of events, because I couldn’t run fast enough through the deep snow to avoid being caught, and all the time we played the game, I never once was the chaser in snow tag.

It remained clear and cold for days, and the mutilated wheel did little to make Cecil or Emerson any more easy to get along with.

They mostly hung out at the gate at recess and lunch time, and days later Velma said she knew for a fact Sport was kept in the cow byre, as the two boys waited patiently for another heavy snowfall.

Learn about invasive plants at landowners’ workshop Submitted

The Lower Ottawa Valley Woodlot Owners will host a workshop in Pierce’s Corners on Jan. 31 to discuss aggressive invasive plants.

Garlic Mustard, Dog Strangling Vine, Japanese Knotweed, Common and Glossy Buckthorn, Common Reed (Phragmites) Norway Maple, Wild Parsnip and Giant Hogweed are all very aggressive plants that can be very harmful.

Common Buckthorn, for example, is a host for the fun-

gus that causes crown rust in oats. Crown rust can also affect barley and rye. The soybean aphid, an insect that damages soybean crops, can use buckthorn as a host plant to survive the winter.

And dog strangling vine threatens the monarch butterfly, a species at risk in Ontario.

Some invasive plants are poisonous to people, such as Giant Hogweed. The clear sap of both Wild Parsnip and Giant Hogweed when combined with sunlight can cause severe burns to human skin.

Many property owners do

not know how to identify invasive plants and they don’t know if they have them on the properties or if they are in the area. Early detection and removal is the best approach for successfully eliminating invasive plants before they get well established.

The workshop is intended to assist anyone who owns or manages a property, however everyone is welcome to attend.

The instructors include staff from the Invasive Species Awareness Program in Peterborough and Iola Price, president of the Ontario Invasive

Are you the...

Plant Council.

The workshop will focus on the most serious invasive plants in eastern Ontario. It will cover: • Identification (there will be preserved samples for participants to examine) • Habitat where you will likely find these plants

• The current range and how they spread • The problems these plants can cause • Some methods for control Coffee and snacks will be ready at 8:45 a.m. The workshop runs from 9 a.m. till noon.

Admission is free for members of the woodlot association and

Confederation Line East LRT Extension The City of Ottawa is undertaking an Environmental Assessment (EA) Study for the extension of LRT from Blair Station to Trim Road along the Ottawa Road 174 (OR174) corridor in accordance with the Transit Projects Assessment Process. This LRT line will provide fast, reliable service to the communities of Beacon Hill, Blackburn Hamlet, Orleans, and rural Cumberland. A total of eight stations are proposed between Blair Station and the Trim Park and Ride.

One thing we know from talking to foster parents is that most people become foster parents after hearing first hand of another foster parent's experience. It's a great message, and shows how rewarding fostering can be for parents and children alike.

Highway 174/County Road 17 Widening The United Counties of Prescott and Russell in partnership with the City of Ottawa are undertaking a Class EA study for the OR174 and Prescott-Russell County Road 17 (CR17) corridor from Highway 417 to County Road 8 (Landry Road). This Study is being carried out in accordance with the requirements for a Schedule ‘C’ project under the Municipal Class EA process.

“Fostering has enriched us and our children in ways we could not imagine it would,” says one couple who have been fostering for 15 years.

Consultation was held in 2013 to introduce the need for alternative solutions to address problems on the OR174 and CR17 corridor.

Open House information and presentation • A general project update, including the integration of LRT in the OR174 corridor from Blair Station to Trim Road • The development and evaluation of the integrated alignment alternatives for the LRT and OR174 widening including the preferred plan West of Trim Road • The development and evaluation of alternative road corridors from Trim Road to Landry Road, including the preferred road corridor

“It's the greatest thing we have ever done as a whole family,” adds another family, who have biological children as well. “If you are a person on this earth, you can do it! It's not about us; it's about the children we can help. I wish everyone could foster for one year so that children in need would never have to look for a family.”

This is the second round of public consultation for the OR174/CR17 widening EA study and the first round of public consultation for the East LRT Extension EA Study to review and discuss the project with the study team and solicit feedback.

The East LRT 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.

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

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23

Take a leadership role on a work assignment, Aries. If your interest in work has been waning of late, a more active role may help you change your perspective.

Libra, rest assured that a broken heart or bruised ego will not last too long. There are big changes ahead in your personal or professional life, so keep your eyes open.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

Taurus, there is nothing you cannot accomplish this week. The sky is the limit in terms of your potential. All you need to do is focus your energy on a particular task.

Taking charge comes naturally to you, Scorpio. In fact, you thrive in this role. But this week you may have to play second fiddle for the good of the team.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

Let something that’s been bugging you cool off for the time being, Gemini. There’s plenty of time to revisit the situation later, and you will be glad you took some time away.

You seem to be operating on auto-pilot this week, Sagittarius. Your routine has become so ingrained that things are automatic. Make a few minor changes to liven things up.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

You’re willing to give a loved one the benefit of the doubt when that person makes a proposal that seems to come out of nowhere. Your patience will be appreciated.

Spend the week in as much quiet contemplation as you can manage, Capricorn. You have a few big questions to work out and can only think when you have private time.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

Expect to be surprised by good news, Leo. Share your good fortune with others this week, and you will realize the good news will prove even more enjoyable.

Aquarius, dissatisfaction at work has you wondering if things would be different elsewhere. Sometimes a change of attitude can give you an entirely new perspective.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

You may benefit from a change of scenery, Virgo. If you have the time, book a getaway to an exotic locale and make the most of this time to rest, relax and recharge.

Pisces, a loved one comes to you seeking guidance this week, but don’t be bummed if they ultimately do not heed your advice.
