News - For the first time in 31 years, no “Re-elect Doug Thompson� signs will spring up in Osgoode Ward. The longtime city councillor and former township mayor said he planned to announce publically on Feb. 10 that he will not run in the Oct. 27 election. Despite intense pressure from residents to keep vying for his job, Thompson said he felt it was time to move on. “I believe it’s time to reinvent myself,� he said. The opportunity to spend more time with his wife, Mary Lynne, his six children and seven grandchildren weighed heavily on his mind, Thompson said, but the satisfaction of a job well done was what allowed the 67-year-old to decide to step away from his council seat. “I certainly will miss it,� he said. “I’m very happy with what I’ve accomplished. “At the end of the day, it’s just one of those decisions that you have to make,� Thompson said. Stepping down “opens the floodgates� for new candidates to campaign in the ward. There are already four people registered, with at least another four or five waiting in the wings that Thompson knows of. But the councillor doesn’t have any plans to come out in public support of any of them, as much as they might want that, he said. “All the candidates would like to have my support,� he said. “I think they should make their own pathway to election.� Thompson’s stronghold over

the ward has never wavered – he was acclaimed as councillor in 2003 when no one opposed him and he received 85 per cent of the vote in 2006 and 67 per cent of the vote in the last election in 2010. He considered retiring from politics before the last election in 2010 but changed his mind. The only time his grip on Osgoode slipped was in 1985, when he recalls around 15 votes stood between him and elected office. “It taught me a lesson: work hard,� Thompson said. “And I’ve done that ever since.� Thompson, an elementary school teacher at the time, was first elected to Osgoode township council on Dec. 1, 1980. He served on that council for 14 years before becoming mayor for three years. 31 YEARS IN POLITICS

It’s difficult to quantify the scope and number of issues that cross a municipal politician’s desk over the course of more than 30 years. Within five weeks on the job as Osgoode township mayor, the 1998 ice storm hit. “It was just bizarre ‌ nobody had ever experienced something like that,â€? he said. Aside from crises like that, the job consumes more than 60 hours a week, Thompson said. “From the outside, it might look easy,â€? he said. “You need someone who has all the qualities of Superman, I think. I attend 400 meetings and events a year. It’s very time consuming.â€? See RIDEAU, page 2

A trillium grant for $15,000 was awarded to the Greely Players in November was a great anniversary gift, Peterson said, allowing the troupe to purchase new staging equipment in time for the spring production. The troupe has a tradition of working with Canterbury High School. The cast of 42 actors in Once Upon a Mattress will be accompanied by the school’s orchestra. The Greely Players started in 1990 with members of the All Saints Anglican Church Choir. To commemorate the church’s 100th anniversary, the church music director Carol Parker approached Canterbury High School teacher John Pohran. She wanted some of his students to provide live music for a production of Fiddler on the Roof. Many of the cast members were also members of the church choir, including the three generations of the Stanley family. The curtains open on this year’s production March 26 at 7:30 p.m. There will be evening performances through to March 29. Matinees on March 29 and 30 will begin at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for seniors and children. For more information, visit www.greelyplayers.ca.

Rideau Carleton Raceway decision big ticket issue: Thompson Continued from front

Serving the residents of Osgoode and being a representative of the nation’s capital has been an honour, Thompson said. During his 31 years in office he oversaw the development of a number of local institutions, from the Greely library to the soccer complex on Mitch Owens Road and a number of housing developments, including the Osgoode Care Centre long-term care facility. Several community associations and groups sprung up under his leadership, including the Osgoode Youth Association (OYA). From campaigning against amalgamation in 1998 and 1999 to sitting as the rural south’s representative on the very city council he fought joining, Thompson says he has thrown his efforts into serving rural residents. He championed the creation a city rural af-

fairs office and also a rural and agricultural issues committee, of which he currently sits as chairman. He was key in preventing OC Transpo from expanding service into his ward. He lists establishing a network of multi-use pathways, helping establish toll-free long-distance phone calls into the city from the rural area and getting school crossing guards in Metcalfe – one of the first locations in a rural area – among his achievements. “These are all small things but in the communities, those are big items,� he said. But the biggest-ticket issue in his three decades in office was easily the city’s decision to only support a new casino location at the Rideau Carleton Raceway. “The casino I think is very critical for the rural area,� he said. “(There are) probably about 900 people whose livelihood depends on that.�

Pretty in Pink bonspiel to raise funds for Breast Cancer Action Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Women curlers will have a chance to be Pretty in Pink at the Manotick Curling Centre on March 1. The centre will host their fourth annual women’s bonspiel to raise money for Breast Cancer Action. Denise Bellingham, the chair of the Perky in Pink Bonspiel, said a group of local women came together a few years ago to find a way to give back to the community. “Most of us have been touched by breast cancer in some way,” Bellingham said, adding she lost a friend to the disease a few years ago. “We also thought it would be a great way to raise funds for something local. Breast Cancer Action is a community-based organization that aims to improve the quality of life for breast cancer patients, survivors and their families through practical help, emotional support and education. In the four years since the inaugural event, the organizers have managed to raise more than $10,000 for the charity. Bellingham said the first year the goal was $1,000. “We didn’t want to have it too high, but we

beat that goal by quite a bit,” she said. While the event is centred on curling, Bellingham said there’s a lot for people to do off the ice. This year the theme is fortune hunters. Bellingham said there will be two local psychics on hand to do readings for patrons, as well as a jewelery-making workshop, massages, manicures and facials. People wishing to compete in the bonspiel will play for a $200 per team donation - $15 per player tax receipts will be issued. Players will be served snacks, lunch and attend a dinner and awards presentation at

the end of the day. Bellingham said organizers hope to raise $3,000 this year. The first game will start at 9 a.m. and the award dinner will take place at 5 p.m. For more information, visit www.manotickcurling.com, or email Donna Hellmann at jhelc540@rogers.com.

Hockey video aims to raise awareness about teen suicide Juno winner pitches in for mental-health campaign Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Don’t Stop Stompin.’ That’s the message Osgoode musician Larry Pegg wants to convey with The Hockey Project. The father of two lost one of his daughters to suicide six years ago. Because his daughter was an avid fan of hockey – Pegg started The Hockey Project to help raise awareness about mental health issues and teen suicide. The latest campaign Hockey is Great. LIFE is BIGGER, started with the release of a song called Don’t Stop Stompin’ co-written by Pegg and Juno award-winner Edmund Ea-

R POPULA Y B K C A B

gan. The song is to be played during a film that will have flash-mob like crowd of hockey players, sporting jerseys from across the country. The film – created by Dan Rascal Films and directed by Craig Conoley – opens on Lucky Ron, the pseudonym of Ottawa musician Ron Burke, performing in the midst of action in a game. Two players are penalized and sent to the penalty box – which represents stigma, isolation and depression. The scene then goes dark, showing only the two players in the penalty boxes, who are then joined by what Pegg describes as a Michael Jackson thriller-esque ice dance.

Filming for Hockey is Great. Life is BIGGER started on Feb. 4 at the Canadian International Hockey Academy in Rockland. It will launch locally Feb. 14 at the Perth Blue Wings home game.

“Twenty per cent of Canadians are affected by mental health in their lifetime. That would be one out of five skaters on the ice,� Pegg said. “You take a player off and the team will lose, the message is we need you on the team, as a nation and as a family.� Dan Mooney, who works as an announcer with the Ottawa 67’s said he’s involved with the project – playing the role of announcer in the video – because of his friendship with Pegg and because he believes in the cause. “If we can save even one life then

it’s worth it,� Mooney said. “My nieces are both 15 and so this resonates with me. It’s a tremendously difficult world to grow up in. Teens have to deal with so much more than we had to when we were growing up.� Pegg said he wanted to harness the power of hockey to help raise awareness for the issue in the days leading up to the Olympics in Sochi. “We live in a nation where half the people have some connection to the sport,� he said. “We want to harness that power, have every arena stomping.� The video is meant to a tribute to Stomping Tom Connor’s The Hockey Song. It will be distributed during the Olympic Games. The short film featuring Lucky Ron was done from Feb. 4 to 6 at Canadian International Hockey Academy in Rockland. It will launch locally Feb. 14 at the Perth Blue Wings home game. Burke said as a long-time musician and local icon, he was happy to lend his name to the cause. Pegg said the film involved volunteers and jerseys representing teams across the country.

Among the jerseys are the Lloydminster Bobcats from Saskatchewan and the Ottawa 67’s. The movement has even gone international with contributions from a dozen countries, including Saudi Arabia, England, Russia and Japan. Pegg said the video will raise money for Do it For Daron, a charity established after the suicide death of Daron Richardson. He said he also wants to use the momentum to raise money to produce a documentary on mental health and teen suicide. He already has Dr. Raffath Sayeed, a head injury specialist, lined up as one of the speakers. “We have enough material for a 15 to 30-minute documentary, depending on the funding we get,� Pegg said. “We might even have enough to do an hour.� Whatever the end product is, the point is to send out positive energy and let teens know they aren’t alone. “I don’t think kids know what a hole they leave behind,� Pegg said. “The message we want to convey is don’t give up on life.� For more information about the project, visit www.thehockeyproject. ca.

News - A new adult day program for seniors with dementia is accepting clients in North Gower. The program – operated by Rural Ottawa South Support Services – runs every Thursday at the Cornerstone Wesleyan Church in North Gower. Leah McQuarrie, with ROSS, said the program was an expansion on services already offered in Kenmore. “We had clients coming from North Gower or Rideau Valley (Drive) in the car,� she said. “That’s a long time in the car, especially if you’re a senior with dementia who doesn’t understand why you’re in the car.� McQuarrie added the secondary purpose for the program was to offer respite for caregivers. “That’s less effective if they’re driving an hour each way,� she said. The North Gower version of the program was launched in the beginning of January. It was made possible by funding from the Champlain Local Health Integration Network – a provincial health authority that doles out funding for

early forms of dementia, but they may also be frail, isolated or have mobility issues. In addition to the new program, the funding allowed for a personal support worker. “That means clients that might need help with mobility issues or toileting can now come,� McQuarrie said. Smith said she thinks the North Gower program will fill up quickly. The program starts at 11

a.m. every week and starts with coffee or tea and a chat, then the group moves to mental exercises and then physical exercises before breaking for lunch. Activities are done for the day at 3 p.m. On Feb. 6, clients were doing mental exercises related to the Olympics. Then they marched in place, played with a ball and chatted in a circle. “They do form friendships with each other and it’s a way to keep up their social skills,� Smith said.

Snow dumped deficit on Ottawa in 2013 Large number of snowy days leaves city $21.5 million over budget Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - City staff are contemplating changes to the street-parking ban after Ottawa spent double what was budgeted for snow removal in 2013. A storm that dumped 41 centimetres of snow onto the capital over two days just before Christmas buried the city in a $21.5-million snow removal deficit. Now, the winter maintenance chief says changes to the way the city enforces no parking on streets during

storms might be needed to cap that cost. That one $11.5-million storm capped off a year of unusually frequent snowstorms. The city usually expects to have crews out on about 95 snowy days a year, but there were 129 “snow event days” in 2013, which resulted in the city spending $140.6 million when it only budgeted $119.1 million. Most of that will be offset by surpluses in other areas and by dipping into the $10.9-million winter maintenance reserve fund. Besides a hefty, 272 cm

of snowfall (the annual average is 236 cm), a number of other factors are driving up the need for – and cost of – snow removal, said Kevin Wylie, manager of roads, traffic operations and maintenance. Councillors’ offices and the city’s services line, 311, receive many calls requesting increased snow plowing, meaning the city actually ends up exceeding its maintenance standards, Wylie said. Building intensification is a good thing, Wylie said, but it puts pressure on the city’s snow clearing operations. “It does cause us a mainte-

Of all the issues affecting the city’s ability to clear snow from streets, there is one that is most problematic, Wylie said. “It’s the overnight parking ban,” he said. “It’s not working well. It’s not co-ordinated well with the (snow removal) operations.” The overnight ban is automatically put in place every time Environment Canada forecasts more than seven centimeters of snow. But Wylie’s team often isn’t out plowing every residential street until a day or two later. Bylaw officers issued 10,848 tickets during on-street parking bans in 2013. Wylie said it doesn’t make sense for bylaw officers to ticket motorists for parking on the street during a ban if the snowplows don’t need to get through. Changes could be made to the timing and location of the bans or other tactics, Wylie said. The goal would be to tie the ban more closely to winter operations with a goal of ensuring efficient snow clearing. “It depends on the timing of the storm,” Wylie said. “It’s those sorts of things we want to see if we can adjust to make it work better for the operations, but also work better for residents. “I just think there is a better way of approaching it,” he said.

Motorists who don’t comply with city street-parking bans during major snowfalls are prompting the city to look at bylaw changes. Wylie plans to meet with bylaw and legal services after this winter season is over to come up with a new plan for next year. The changes likely won’t affect downtown residents who hold on-street parking permits, Wylie said. “I don’t foresee taking action in those areas,” he said. “That’s a tough one. In some of the areas of the city, they have parking permits because they have nowhere else to park – they have no parking garages and no driveways. The cost of taking care of snow on parking permitted streets ends up being higher because the city needs to do full snow removals more often, Wylie said. Capital Coun. David Chernushenko had another suggestion: the city could negotiate with parking-garage owners to provide free overnight parking when there is a street-park-

ing ban in place. Wylie said it could be considered. DEC. 20 TO 22 SNOWSTORM

No easy driveway solution

T

he city’s planning committee recently approved a plan allowing suburban homeowners to widen their driveways. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say councilors collectively held their noses and approved a “Band-Aid solution,� that is a step in the right direction toward a permanent solution, but doesn’t address some of the reasons for the shortage of driveway space. First and foremost, there tends to be more multicar families in the suburbs compared to their urban counterparts. Some councillors suggest one of the underlying causes of suburbia’s parking woes is the development industry’s trend of building smaller homes on smaller lots with more vehicles per household. Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais said the city needs to look at revising its minimum standards for driveway length and garage size, and if that means developers lose part of their market advantage, well, so be it. The city is reconsidering its policy on driveway sizes, as part of a broader review of how suburban housing developments are planned, under the Building Better Suburbs plan. Policy must meet the existing needs of residents, and those vary depending on which part of the city you’re in. Case in point:

there tends to be more homes with multi-car families in the suburbs compared to those in urban areas, and therefore they need bigger driveways. Of course, council must also recognize the dangers of allowing an influx of asphalt. Widening driveways could have unintended consequences, such as limiting the space available for on-street parking and aesthetically pleasing and environmentally-necessary features such as trees. Then there’s the possibility of resurrecting an old bugbear that has consistently haunted Ottawa during the past decade: stormwater runoff. By reducing the amount of permeable ground available for rainwater drainage, the city would need to radically alter its stormwater drainage model. No one wants to travel down that road. But the planning committee addressed this issue by asking staff to prepare an amendment to the private approach bylaws, which would limit curb cuts. In other words, suburban homeowners could increase the hard-surface driveway space in front of their homes, but would not be allowed to expand access to the street. A one-size-fits-all policy rarely works across Ottawa. Any solution to the city’s parking problems must ultimately rely on neighbourhood-by-neighbourhood decisions.

The grassroots innocence of Canada’s game

P

utting aside the commercial aspects, it was pretty hard not to be impressed by the 17th Annual Bill Kitchen Timbits Jamboree out at the Canadian Tire

Centre. From seven o’clock in the morning until about six at night, 96 kids’ hockey teams from all over Ottawa and the Valley took to the big ice surface at the arena. That would be more than 1,000 five- and six-year-olds, and don’t think they weren’t impressed. Don’t think their parents and grandparents weren’t either. The parents and grandparents, by the way, brought donations for the Ottawa Food Bank. When they weren’t on the ice, the kids were in a big room downstairs playing on various things, including the inevitable bouncy castle. When an adult of a certain age sees a bouncy castle, he suddenly realizes there was a large gap in his childhood. Spartacat was signing autographs. There was a juggler, a clown and the loud noise of a lot of excited kids. But the main excitement was on the ice, where there was hardly any noise at all – a refreshing change from when the Senators play and you can’t hear yourself think for the ampli-

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town fied music, especially during stoppages in play. Here there were no stoppages in play to speak of and the only noise was of sticks and skates, conversations among parents and grandparents and the occasional cheer when the puck found its way into the net. That would happened a fair amount, as the games were played across the ice surface, three at a time, so a player was never far from the opposite goal and frequently in good position to score. But when they scored, it mattered only to them (and their parents, siblings and grandparents), since one of the rules of the jamboree is that no score is kept. That might sound wimpy, but it works pretty well for the youngsters at this level. They all compete hard anyway, particularly on this day, because who wouldn’t

be inspired sitting on the same benches as Chris Phillips and Chris Neil? Who wouldn’t want to score a goal on the same ice as Jason Spezza and Erik Karlsson score theirs? And no one goes home broken-hearted. They’ll have lots of chances in their later years to go home broken-hearted. Why rush it? Because of the antics of a few fanatics, hockey parents get a bad rap. But when kids play at the earliest ages of the organized game, the parents couldn’t be nicer, at least as far as I’ve seen. Very rarely do you hear parents barking instructions to their son or daughter. Almost never do you hear anyone yelling at the referees. True, some of that comes later, but there have been many advances in coaching techniques over the decades, and along with these have come changes in attitude. You hope that some of these have rubbed off on the parents. Bill Kitchen, who died two years ago, played for the Ottawa 67’s and briefly in the NHL. He ran a Tim Hortons franchise, coached minor hockey in Ottawa, organized a hockey camp and was active in the Timbits jamboree, which now bears his name. That’s a nice legacy and you could see on the ice, where volunteer coaches skated with their teams and acted as

referees, that there are dozens and dozens of men and women carrying on that tradition. It’s what helps make hockey so deeply rooted in our culture despite all the competition from computers, video games and bouncy castles. Both boys and girls were active on the ice and so were kids from different cultures. Although hockey may not be as multicultural as some other areas of Canadian life, it is heading in that direction. We all read about the problems in hockey its professional levels. It’s nice to see the innocence of the game when beginners play it.

United way makes plea for donations Campaign still needs to raise money to help 19,000 lives Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Program facilitator, Clarissa Arthur said she knows first hand the difference donations can make. Arthur knew the situation well before taking over the role of child development coordinator at the Youville Centre. As a graduate from the centre in 1996, Arthur said without the organization, she would not be where she is today. She arrived at the centre with her three-and-ahalf-month-old son in the fall of 1995. She graduated from the program in the spring of 1996, and since has continued with her education, taking child and youth programming in college. “I saw the job posting and just had to come back,� Arthur said. “Being a part of Youville is life-changing for every girl who comes here and now I get to meet with them, show them pictures of my son and daughter and let them know I was once where they were.� Arthur spends her time between meeting new students and facilitating programs like Me, My

gram -- to make moms realize they are not alone and there is a support system in the Youville Centre. The centre reported that a total of 43 lives were changed thanks to United Way’s investment in Youville Centre’s parenting program and between July 1, 2012 and March 31, 2015, Youville Centre will receive a total of $65,900 for this program thanks to United Way donors’ support.

News - There are six weeks left in this year’s United Way Ottawa campaign and the organization is making a plea to donors to help out the lives of 19,000 fellow residents. The charitable group launched its 2013-14 Community Campaign at the end of September last year with a different kind of goal from previous years, asking Ottawa donors to help raise $21 million, specifically targeted at improving the lives of a set number of individuals. According to the United Way, if the goal of the campaign is reached, 76,000 lives will be changed. “We don’t want to leave anybody behind and United Way will continue to be there with our partners -- whether they are people facing a crisis in their lives, isolated seniors, or children and youth who benefit from homework help or social activities after school. All of them deserve our support,� said Barbara Crook, United Way’s campaign co-chairwoman. Currently, the campaign has raised $16 million -- or enough money to help out 56,000 lives. Cook and fellow co-chairman Goldy Hyder attended a United Way-funded program at the Youville Centre on Feb. 4 in hopes of creating enthusiasm for the last-minute campaign push. Cook said the remaining $5 million could enable something like allowing 2,600 homework club students to study or providing help for young mothers who attend the Youville Centre’s Me, My Baby, Our World class. A philanthropist and director of the Danbe Foundation, Cook is no stranger to helping out fundraisers, or donating to a cause. In the past, Cook said her foundation has made large contributions to specific causes, but with United Way, Cook said she has seen what exactly $2 can do for a child in a homework club. “What has been so fascinating, working on this campaign, is seeing the difference that one small donation can make,� Cook said. The money raised is tied to what the United Way defined as measurable goals -- money solely for the United Way’s organizations which requested funding through designated priorities. During the visit to the Me, My Baby, Our World program Cook and Hyder met with a group of young mothers who were singing and dancing with their little ones. In the past three years, United Way has allocated $50,853 for its baby program and its youth mental health program.

Baby, Our World program. Singing along with the other mothers and children, the program helps mothers learn how to parent in a collaborative setting Arthur said. “This is a place where moms can talk to other moms about what is going on with their baby, get advice and work on things together,� Mother of two young sons, Julia Huard said the Me, My Baby, Our World program has helped her connect with her youngest son, Landon.

Mayors call for changes to NCC Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - The frustration Ottawa and Gatineau face from dealing with the National Capital Commission has led to the mayors of both cities to call on the Prime Minister to make changes to the agency. Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson was joined by Gatineau Mayor Maxime Pedneaud-Jobin at Ottawa city hall on Jan. 29 to announce they were sending a joint letter to Prime Minister Stephen Harper calling for changes to the commission’s governance structure. The changes are needed to end the NCC’s stonewalling of projects and processes made by local elected officials, Watson said. He compared the “democrat deficit” of the NCC to the scandals plaguing the Senate. “Yes, we are the nation’s capital. It’s a banner we wear with pride, but it doesn’t mean our residents and taxpayers deserve to be shut out of the conversation or pay a premium in their property taxes,” Watson said.

Watson said he and Pedneaud-Jobin agree that the NCC has lost its focus. Aside from weighing in on major projects like the route for the city’s Stage 2 light-rail project (which the city hopes to run through 500 metres of NCC land), the commission has a role in many other city initiatives. Ottawa must consult the NCC if it wants to make changes to city hall. The commission also “feels the need to dictate” details such as what kinds of shrubs the city should plant along Confederation Line, the first leg of the lightrail line, Watson said. Three levels of government are complicated enough already, the mayor said, without the added “intrusion” of another agency on long-term city-building initiatives. Other municipalities don’t have to deal with another agency “meddling” in their affairs, the letter states, and in most cases, the federal government and its agencies appear to facilitate and expedite local improvements to reflect decisions

made by local representatives. The letter also states that the NCC’s “micromanagement and second guessing” of the city’s long-term plans, particularly for light rail, are inconsistent with the commission’s duty to assist in the region’s long-term development. “We ask the Prime Minister, is this really what the NCC should be focused on?” Watson said. “We don’t need a fourth level of government.” The day after the mayors’ press conference, NCC chairman Russell Mills fired back that it’s important for the agency to balance local interests with national interests. “We are accountable to Canadians, as we should be,” he said. “Anything that would undermine the role of the NCC is unlikely to produce better results. “We need to retain that authority to stop bad ideas for federal land like a railroad along the riverfront.” The NCC only has jurisdiction over about 10 per cent of the land in the capital region, Mills said. He added that conflict between local politicians and the NCC is “just on the surface”

and the agency has a deep working relationship with city staff. LOCAL REPS

Adding local politicians to the NCC’s board of directors would be a first step to making the commission more accountable and representative of the area it serves, Watson said. He suggested the two mayors would be a natural fit to sit on the NCC’s board. “I think it would help the NCC,” he said. “I think they would be given greater credibility by having the elected representatives from the two cities to sit on the board and share information and act as a much more formal liaison than what we have now.” Increasing the number of local representatives on the commission’s board would make it more accountable, Watson said. Currently, the 14-member board is required to have a majority of eight members from outside the capital region. “I don’t believe that a visitor from the Northwest Territories or New Brunswick who sits on the board should cast the deciding vote on an important local,

Special sewer charges waived for Manotick non-profits Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Five non-profit groups in Manotick are breathing a sigh of relief after the city’s finance committee waived $101,018 in sewer charges. Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt originally asked city council to waive the charges for tax-exempt properties at Watson’s Mill, the Manotick Legion, St. James Anglican Church, Knox Presbyterian Church and the Manotick United Church in

December. That bothered Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, who thought city councillors should give the issue more consideration. She was successful in getting her fellow councillors to send the matter to the finance committee for discussion. The finance committee received a staff report on the matter on Feb. 4 and waived the charges without discussion. The report indicated the properties are exempt from taxes and the special local improvement

assessment would “impose a significant financial burden.” The $101, 018 balance of those charges will have to be covered by the citywide tax base. The issue arises from the city’s efforts to finally collect fees known as “local improvement charges” from property owners. If a group of neighbours gets together and asks the city to undertake infrastructure improvements, such as installing a sewer, before the city planned to do it, the ratepayers can pay the city for the

work. That’s been happening since amalgamation, but the city only began collecting the fees in 2012. After the bills were sent, a number of property owners, including the Manotick non-profits, claimed they either didn’t know about the charges or didn’t sign onto them. In the case of Watson’s Mill, it was both. “Watson’s Mill doesn’t have water or washrooms,” said Isabelle Geoffrion, manager of the community museum. “It is a heritage building.

Where would you even put them if you could?” Her group wasn’t made aware of any pending charges when it took over the museum in 2008. Later on they received three bills for different amounts of their portion of the local improvement charge, which the city settled on as around $16,000. “That’s a huge expense for us, especially when it’s not planned,” Geoffrion said. She thanked Moffatt for getting the charges pardoned.

Mother’s laundry “pinchers� took on another use for Emerson

M

other had searched the summer kitchen and the wood

shed. She couldn’t find it anywhere. And it was Sunday night, and she was getting ready for the Monday morning wash. The big copper tub was sitting on the back of the Findlay Oval full of water at the ready. Into this tub Mother would put all the white clothes that had to be washed. They would soak all night, with the hope that she wouldn’t have to use as much javel water on them in the morning. Heaven forbid that the whites wouldn’t be sparkling when put on the clothes line for the entire world to see! Mother liked to have everything set when she was ready to tackle what would turn out to be an all-day job. That meant the copper tub was full of whites on the stove, the rest of the laundry was sorted into heaps on the kitchen floor, and the homemade soap cut into slivers and sitting in a pie plate. And of course, the long wood “pinchers� used to take the boiled whites out of the

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories tub, and put them into the square laundry tub, ready for scrubbing on the washboard, would be sitting on a chair too. They looked exactly like the tweezers Aunt Lizzie used to pull out stray eyebrows when she came from Regina to visit, only these were about two feet long, made of wood held together at one end with a bolt, and strong enough that Mother could easily grab a good portion of white clothes out of the tub without touching the hot water. Well, that day the pinchers were nowhere to be found. It was just before supper, and Mother sent me back out to the wood shed and the summer kitchen to have another look. I even looked behind the sauerkraut barrel -- there was no sign of them anywhere.

“Well, they have to be somewhere,� Mother said, putting the finishing touches on supper. Father and the three brothers came in from the barns and the milking, and washed up at the bench near the back door. We all took our places at the old pine table, and after Grace was said by Father, and before anyone could dig in to the mounds of food, Mother commented that she couldn’t find the wood tongs, which was the term she used. Father called them pinchers, but he knew what she meant, and that was all that was important. “Must be out in the summer kitchen,� he said. Mother assured him a thorough search had been made of both the summer kitchen and the wood shed. “Gone. Just plain gone,�

she said. “I know where they are,� Earl said, giving a sidelong glance towards Emerson. Emerson started to squirm and asked Everett to pass the potatoes. Earl continued: “They’re out on the chopping block behind the silo.� Everything stopped dead, just like a Hopalong Cassidy movie reel that had broken down once in the O’Brien theatre in Renfrew. “Ouch,� Earl yelled, and we all knew Emerson had given him a good kick under the table. “Whatever are the laundry tongs doing out on the chopping block,� Mother asked, her voice rising to a high pitch. The chopping block was where the chickens met their doom and it was also where the fish the boys caught icefishing in the Bonnechere River were cleaned. Everett was usually the one who performed the dastardly deed, because even though he was rambunctious and full of spunk, Emerson could never bring himself to working the chopping block. The same went for cleaning

fish. In fact, he loved to fish, summer or winter, but Everett or Earl always had to bait the line for him. He didn’t want a thing to do with a live fish from the time the line went in the water, until it was served on a dinner plate. And when the fish sat in a pail of water beside the chopping block ready to be cleaned, Emerson wouldn’t even touch one to take it out of the pail and hand it to Everett. That is, until he figured Mother’s laundry tongs would do just fine. He could grab a fish, slap it on the block, and Everett could do the rest. It didn’t take all day to figure out why the tongs were out at the chopping block. There wasn’t much talk around the supper table that Sunday night. Emerson got up from the table, put on his heavy coat, hat and boots, and headed for the silo. When he brought the tongs back into the kitchen, Mother already had a granite pail of water boiling on the front of the stove -- she swore the

clothes would smell of fish for at least a month of washings. The tongs were put into the pail, with a good dose of vinegar, and there they sat, boiling away until bedtime. No one ever knew if Emerson ever got over his aversion to touching uncooked fish, but we all knew he never went near the tongs again. Mother made sure of that. Every Sunday night after that, and even before filling the tub with water or gathering up the whites, she got the tongs out of the summer kitchen, slapped them on a chair by the stove, and her look dared anyone to lay a finger on them.

ROUTES AVAILABLE!

Canada Post honoured Canada’s – and Ottawa’s – “sweetheart,” Barbara Ann Scott, by putting the figure-skating champion’s likeness on a stamp. Here, Mayor Jim Watson unveils the stamp design in the Barbara Ann Scott Gallery at city hall on Feb. 3. Scott, who died in September 2012, remains the only Canadian woman to have achieved Olympic gold in singles figure skating. The Pioneers of Winter Sports stamp set also portrays freestyle skier Sarah Burke and curler Sandra Schmirler.

Nominate cycling advocates for city award Staff

News - Do you know a cycling star in Ottawa? The city is now accepting nominations for the annual Bruce Timmermans Cycling Award. The annual award is handed out to an individual and an organization that proactively and publicly promotes the benefits and virtues of cycling as a principal mode of transportation.

Criteria include: leading by example, advocating for cycling and supportive facilities, teaching cycling skills and encouraging others to start cycling. The extent and nature of that involvement in community volunteer activities, the extent of cycling they are involved with (commuting, utilitarian and recreational) as well as their interpersonal skills and the manner in which cycling is being encouraged will also be considered. Last year, the organizational award went

to RightBike, a community bike-sharing service. The individual award went to Spencer Sloan, an Industry Canada employee who publishes a widely circulated cycling newsletter for his workplace and helped set up on-site bicycle maintenance facilities and bike clinics to encourage bicycle commuting. Printable and electronic forms are available at ottawa.ca. Nominations for both individuals and organizations must be submitted before the Feb. 28 deadline.

We were married and close to retirement when we started fostering. Throughout the years, we’ve grown as a couple, as individuals and as foster parents. Providing foster care to children and youth is a very rewarding experience. We are given opportunities to learn from others, to learn of their strengths and values and to offer support when possible. We see families change and we see their relationships develop. Since our debut 17 years ago, we’ve come to learn the real purpose of our role as foster parents; to help families stay together. Because of people like Angela and Patrick, children and youth of our community are able to receive temporary care while the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa works with the natural parent(s) to improve home conditions.

Be the first to know of Openings and Priority Registrations

February is Foster Family month. This year’s theme, “Face of Fostering”, brings attention to our diverse foster parent team and provides the Ottawa community with answers to the more frequently asked questions. Is parenting experience required to become a foster parent? Can I foster one child at a time? Hear from current CASO foster parents by following us on twitter @OttawaCas. You too can be the Face of Fostering!

We’ll help you find your perfect match!

For more information on becoming a foster parent, visit www.casott.on.ca or call 613-742-1620 ext 1.

Advertorial

Manotick health food store returns after fire Business - The Manotick Natural Market was displaced last year when a fire devastated their shop on Tighe Street. In late January of this year Natural Market staff reopened at their temporary location at 1143 Tighe St. thanks to Mike and Geoff Lamesse of Splash Pools and Spas who felt the health food store needed a home sooner than later. “We wanted them to stay in Manotick,” said Geoff Lamesse. Splash Pools and Spas sectioned off an area in their store making a perfect place for Natural Market to set up. The Manotick commercial landscape would not have been the same without the Manotick Natural market. They have been serving and educating their growing list of clients for the past 18 years in Manotick. They had been in the Manotick Mews but then moved up to Tighe Street. They had only been in their new location for 6six months when the fire destroyed their

building.Despite the setback store manager Darpan Ahluwa RHN. CBA is still as enthusiastic as ever about helping out her customers and clients when it comes to the right kind of nutrition for them. She manages the store but she also serves as a nutrition consultant. Understanding nutrition and how to stay healthy are ever changing topics these days. The only way to untangle all that information is to be able to ask for advice and help. “If people have any questions I am hear to help,” said Ahluwa. While the bakery part of the operation had to be sidelined for a while it is expected to be back up and running once more space is available. The old location is being rebuilt and hopefully the store will move back in and reestablish their bakery there. “There is a real need for it,” explained Ahluwa as she pointed out that gluten free products were not always available in the area. Finding a nutritional balance

for your body is the key to good health and she believes the Manotick natural Market can be a great source of not only nutritional education but products. There are literally thousands of high end products at the store that promote and encourage good health through good nutrition. Darpan is a certified registered holistic nutritionist, RHN and a certified blood analyst, CBA. She can look at a clients blood under a microscope and see how well it is processing nutrients which suggests how balanced the entire digestive system is. Understanding your health is all about understanding how your body is able to absorb nutrients. “My passion is helping people,” said Ahluwa. For more information about the store please call 613-6921484 or go to ManotickNaturalMarket.com. The store hours are Monday to Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Manager of The Manotick Natural Market, Darpan Ahluwa is looking forward to and closed Sundays. welcoming customers to her store at 1143 Tighe St.

PET OF THE WEEK

Ad# 2014-01-7005-22350 R0012551247-0213

Pet Adoptions Chief is a six-year-old boy who loves attention and affection. For Valentine’s Day, he just wants a forever home. Would you be Chief’s valentine? Chief is a curious and active kitty who likes to walk around to investigate different things, though he’d be just as comfortable napping the day away in a sunny patch on your living room floor. Chief would do well in a home with cats, as he lives with six others at the OHS. For more information on Chief 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.

Hi! My name is Roofus and I am a Domestic Shorthair Grey Tabby. I love playing with my catnip mouse and tormenting my sister, Miny. Other things I love doing are chewing cat grass and sleeping in between my person’s legs which I love even more than my food bowl! I hope that spring comes soon because I miss lying on the warmed-up chair outside. 9d ndj i]^c` ndjg eZi ^h XjiZ Zcdj\] id WZ ÆI=: E:I D; I=: L::@Ç4 HjWb^i V e^XijgZ VcY h]dgi W^d\gVe]n d[ ndjg eZi id ÒcY dji H^bean ZbV^a id/ Yi]Zg^Zc5eZg[eg^ci#XV ViiZci^dc ÆEZi d[ i]Z LZZ`Ç

Apple sweet bread good for breakfast or snack Lifestyle - Coconut bread or sweet bread, as it’s often called in the islands, is a heavy quick bread that can be served at breakfast or with a cup of tea in the afternoon. The addition of apple makes it moister and replaces the candied fruit. Preparation time: 15 minutes. Baking time: one hour. Makes one loaf (12 slices). INGREDIENTS

• 375 ml (1-1/2 cups) all-purpose flour • 7 ml (1-1/2 tsp) baking powder • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) salt • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) each ground cinnamon and nutmeg • 1 egg, lightly beaten • 250 ml (1 cup) granulated sugar • 75 ml (1/3 cup) vegetable oil • 5 ml (1 tsp) vanilla •2 apples, peeled, cored and coarsely grated (about 250ml/1 cup) • 125 ml (1/2 cup) unsweetened desiccated coconut • 125 ml (1/2 cup) raisins

PREPARATION

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg, and set the mixture aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, all but 5 ml (1 tsp) of the sugar, oil and vanilla. Add the flour mixture, and mix well -- the resulting mixture will be dry. Stir in the grated apple, coconut and raisins. Spread the mixture into greased and floured 1.5-litre (eight-by-four inch) metal loaf pan. Sprinkle with the remaining sugar. Bake in a 180 C (350 F) oven for about one hour or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the loaf comes out clean. Let it cool in a pan on a rack for 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and let cool. Serve warm or at room temperature. Foodland Ontario
