ITR gets ready for spring production Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Isle on the River Theatre Company plans to stage a Norm Foster Play this spring.

Here on the Flight Path, the story of John, who lives in an apartment near the airport.

John interacts with three women who rent the apartment next to his.

“Norm Foster plays are very funny,” said Judy Beltzner, president of

ITR. “They’re often about the foibles of human relationships. He was a very prolific playwright.”

The three women are Fay – a lady of the night, Angel, a young woman from rural Alberta who comes to the big city to jumpstart a career in show business and Gwen, who leaves Vancouver after divorcing her husband.

“She is quite distraught,” André Dimitrijevic, the plays director said.

The cast are veterans of the stage.

John is played Bill Steele, Gwen is played by Regina Spearns.

They are joined by Jennifer Roquebrune, Carey Smith and Elizabeth Chant.

“There’s a good mix of those who have worked with ITR for years and newcomers,” Beltzner said.

Beltzner auditioned for her first play in 2011 and was directed by Steele.

Fundraiser for Busting out the Brews a success for Osgoode Care Centre.

News - Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffat said he wouldn’t support an application to change 116 hectares of land bordering Barnsdale Road from agriculture to rural countryside.

The application – put forward by the Barnsdale Landowners Group – suggests these lands, north of Manotick, are no long prime agricultural area.

“If the designation is changed, it would make the lands more favourable for an expansion of the urban boundary in 2018,” Moffat told the Manotick and Village Community Assocaition during a meeting on Feb. 19.

Moffat said he is against the rezoning of agricultural lands, and he wasn’t prepared to support a rezoning until the city finishes working with the province on the Land Evaluation and Area Review for Agriculture in 2015.

The evaluation, is done by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food and a local advisory committee comprised of farmers, Moffat and Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais and planners, as well as ministry staff. The land evaluation measures the importance of the property’s soil resources in terms of their use for agriculture. The area review looks at land use, parcel size and adjacent land uses.

The evaluation classes the lands on a sliding scale from one to seven for their suitability for agriculture.

Moffat said he doesn’t like to factor adjacent development in when determining the suitability of land for agriculture, because it guarantees urban sprawl, because changing the zoning means the boundary line is constantly moving.

Klaus Beltzner, the president of the MVCA, said the community association is concerned about the application – set to go to the city’s Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee in late spring – because the lose of what he referred to as a farm belt around Manotick may change the designation.

“We need a buffer around Manotick to keep it a rural village,” he said. “If that goes then we lose the character.”

Bill Steele (as John) and Regina Spearns (as Gwen) rehearse a scene on Feb. 19.

The group itself has been operating in the rural south for the last 41 years. Beltzner said the name came from the original rehearsal space – St. Brigid Church in Manotick.

Now the group operates out of a building on Osgoode Main Street and performs out of the Osgoode Community Centre.

Dimitrijevic, who works with other Ottawa-area theatre groups, said he enjoys the Osgoode performances because there’s a real sense of community.

The tickets for Here on the Flight Path will go on sale March 17 for the general public and March 1 for patrons.

Patrons are the group’s unsung heroes, Beltzner said. There are three levels: Silver Patron is $100 and can get you two VIP seats to a spring and fall production each year, along with a $28 tax receipt.

Gold patrons donate $150 and get two VIP tickets to both shows and get a $78 tax receipt.

Platinum patrons get two tickets and a $128 tax receipt for a $200 donation. All levels get early access to tickets.

“Patrons are important because

we are a not-for-profit and have limited funding, patrons give a reliable source of income,” Beltzner said.

The curtains lift on the production April 24.

“There’s a good mix of those who have worked with ITR for years and newcomers.”

There will be 7:30 p.m. performances on April 24, 25, May 2 and 3. May 4 is a Sunday matinee at 2 p.m. and April 26 is the dinner theatre show at 6 p.m.

The dinner show is catered by David Smith, a Greely resident who owns Creative Kosher Catering.

Beltzner said that show is often very popular.

“It’s a relaxed atmosphere, there are cloth tables and the buffet is delicious,” she said.

Public school board anticipates less support from the province jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - The Ottawa public school board’s committee of the whole got a sneak peek at the 2014-15 budget on Feb. 11.

The public consultation on the budget won’t happen until June, after the province announces funding, but the public school board is already looking at the pressures. “I think we have to assume there will be very little growth in the funding,� Mike Carson, the board’s superintendent of facilities, told trustees.

The provincial deficit, coupled with the commitment to full-day kindergarten being in all schools by fall of 2015, will mean a fiscal crunch for all levels of government. “We need to make priorities,� Carson said.

While the school board ended the 2013 fiscal year with a $45.8 million surplus, there are pressures in the form of future

employee benefits, as well as increased transportation costs for busing high school students in the city’s urban transit area and pressures related to increased costs for snow removal because of the heavy snowfall this year.

I don’t want us to get so dazed by the surplus that we open up the tap and let the dollars fall in the sink.

ROB CAMPBELL

Meanwhile, the board will take in an additional 2,000 fullday kindergarten students starting in September 2015.

Carson said allocating $7 million for the future employee benefits should leave the board with a surplus of roughly $32

million.

He said the board’s strategic plan would take into account its strategic priorities of emphasizing academic performance and student well being.

Board chair Jennifer McKenzie said she was happy to see the board’s strategic plan was part of the discussion. “I would like to see us in a place where our strategic plan dictates the budget,� she said, adding she would be looking for funding to work with the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa on a project to engage street kids and get them back in classrooms.

Several trustees were concerned about keeping the surplus down to ensure continued funding levels from the province.

Theresa Kavanagh, who represents the zone that corresponds with the municipal Bay Ward, asked if a surplus was a record amount. “I am just worried the board might get punished for being

MARK FISHER good with the books, by getting diminished funding,� she said.

Rob Campbell, who represents the zone that corresponds with the Rideau-Vanier and Capital wards, asked if the surplus should be limited to two per cent of the board’s revenue.

Carson said the surplus is often used for capital projects – with permission from the Ministry of Education – and would ideally be around three per cent, or $24 million. “I don’t want us to get so dazed by the surplus that we open up the tap and let the dol-

aligning the board’s administration. “We have a lot of people doing cross-departmental work,� she said. “There may be a way to look at workload without adding too much additional staff.�

The board continued the budget process discussion on Feb. 20.

Staff will recommend a finalized budget on May 13. The board will hear public delegations on May 26 and it will be approved by June 23.

Watson Mill adds ghost hunt to March Break camp Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Children headed to Watson’s Mill for the March break camp will have a chance to try their hand at ghost hunting, thanks to an addition this year.

Melanie Parker, with the Mill, said Haunted Ottawa Paranormal Society – a group that often conducts paranormal investigations at the mill – will be on hand March 7 to answer questions and show off their equipment.

“Who doesn’t want to be a ghost buster,” she said. “I think it will be a lot of fun.”

The mill is expanding the camp to three days of themed activities this year. The first one will be ghost themed and feature the volunteer from HOPS, as well as ghost-like crafts. March 11 campers will take flight with space camp.

Parker said the children will learn about astrology and build rockets.

The last day – March 13 – is science and nature. Parker said junior scientists would be performing some

experiments, as well as spending time outside.

The camp runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and costs $20 for mill members and $25 for non members. Snacks are provided, but campers need to bring their own lunch. Children aged six to 12 are welcome.

Parker said the camp typically sells out, so parents should call as soon as possible to be guaranteed a spot.

“We cap at 16 kids,” Parker said.

For more information, call the mill at 613-692-6455, or email watsonsmillprograms@rogers.com.

Children love the Watson’s Mill March break camp which sold out last year.

Ottawans recycling more than half of household waste Taxpayers paying twice for 14,000 tonnes of organic waste rejected by Orgaworld Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - For the first time since Ottawa introduced the green bin, residents are recycling more than half of household waste.

Some of the material residents put into their green bins is ending up in the dump even though the city thinks it’s recyclable.

That’s because Orgaworld, the facility contracted to process the organic waste, didn’t accept all the waste that was collected. A contract that’s currently in arbitration stipulates the city must provide 80,000 tonnes of processable organic waste each year.

Even though the amount of organics collected jumped from 67,000 tonnes in 2012 to 83,000 in 2013, the city is still paying to process tonnes of those organic materials twice.

Orgaworld only processed 69,000 tonnes or 83 per cent of the organic waste collected in 2013, said River Coun. Maria McRae, the chairwoman of the environment committee.

“In a word, it’s disgraceful that we have collected 83,000 tonnes and all of that waste has not been processed,” McRae said. “This city did its job. Our residents did their job. We picked up 83,000 tonnes. Why is that not being processed? That’s the question we should ask.”

Due to arbitration confidentiality there’s not much the city can say about the issue that’s preventing Orgaworld from accepting and processing all the organic waste put into green bins, said city solicitor Rick O’Connor.

O’Connor said that arbitration decision – and the completed city audit on the Orgaworld contract – will be made available to the public sometime this year, he said.

The achievement of boosting the amount of material diverted from the landfill from 45 per cent in 2012 to 52 per cent in 2013 is a bittersweet milestone until the city can ensure all of that diverted material doesn’t end up in the Trail Road landfill, McRae said.

The jump in diversion can mostly be attributed to a change in waste collection aimed at extending the lifespan of the city’s landfill, McRae said. In September of 2012, the city started collecting garbage every other week in an effort to get residents to put more waste in recycling bins. The green bin was introduced in 2010.

Those efforts have already extended the use of the landfill to about 2040, McRae said, putting off a very divisive and expensive effort to site a new landfill.

MULTI-RESIDENTIAL UNITS LEFT OUT

Only 160 of the city’s estimated 1,000 multiresidential buildings – like condos and apartments – are using the green bin. That represents approximately 7,770 units across the city.

Participation is voluntary for multi-residential buildings, McRae said.

“If superintendents and landlords want to make it happen, we’re making it easier for them,” she said.

Organics recycling in multi-residential buildings began as a pilot project with 10 buildings in March of 2011.

The city makes some efforts to encourage apartment buildings and condos to adopt the green bin: it provides smaller dumpsters and larger recycling bins to multi-residential buildings.

There is also a new process for ensuring new multi-residential buildings, whether they are towers or townhomes, have space for green bins and recycling.

“We realize there are constraints for older buildings from the ’60s and ’70s,” McRae said.

But landlords aren’t required to report to the city on how much waste they are diverting from the garbage bin, so the city has no way to track how much recycling is happening in multi-residential dwellings, she said.

Even though Ottawa residents recycled almost 24 per cent more waste last year than the year prior, there are still thousands of tonnes of organic waste being dumped at the city’s landfill. The city can’t say why because of a contract arbitration with Orgaworld, the facility hired to process organic waste.

News - Organizers of the annual fundraiser Busting out the Brews are toasting the community.

Wendy Hill, director of the Township of Osgoode Care Centre, said the annual fundraiser â&#x20AC;&#x201C; held Feb. 7 at Stanleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Old Maple Farm â&#x20AC;&#x201C; raised $25,662.

Hill said the event, which brings together local restaurants, breweries and wineries, hosted more than 300 people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We raised $20,662 from the event itself and another $5,000 from the Osgoode Scotiabankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team community program,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The turnout was great.â&#x20AC;?

Hill said the event wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been possible without the help of the community.

Diamond Heart, a local band, provided the entertainment and Metcalfe resident Al Graham served as master of ceremonies, an important job thanks to the silent and live auctions.

Beauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s All Natural Brewery, Cassel Brewery and Broadhead were on tap, along with

Joseph Estates Wines, Perrault Windes and Smokey Ridges. Food was provided by the Marlborough Pub from North Gower, the Red Dot CafĂŠ from Osgoode, the Winchelsea and the Swan on the Rideau. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a really good time,â&#x20AC;? Hill said.

The care centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fundraising campaign started in 2012 to upgrade and renovate the building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The centre was built in the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;80s, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting to need minor upgrades,â&#x20AC;? Hill said.

While the fundraising campaign has already raised $215,000 in a little more than a year to pay for things like three sit-and-stand lifts to help residents get in and out of bed, some wardrobes and night stands and a point of care computer system to keep electronic track of clients medical records, more is needed.

A new roof will cots $100,000, Hill said, adding the centre also needs a new generator for $130,000 and tables and chairs for the centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dining room - which will cost another $30,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every little bit helps,â&#x20AC;? Hill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to see the community come together to pitch in.â&#x20AC;?

IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT

Manotick Village and Community Association picks winter photo winners

Notice of Intention to Designate The City of Ottawa, on February 12, 2014, established its intention to designate the 2659 Roger Stevens Drive under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value.

Description of Property 2659 Roger Stevens Drive is a one and one half storey wood frame farmhouse with red brick cladding. The house was constructed in 1876 and is located west of the village of North Gower in former Marlborough Township in southwest Ottawa.

Statement of Cultural Heritage Value 2659 Roger Stevens Drive has cultural heritage value for its association with the early settlement of Marlborough Township, design value as a good example of the Gothic Revival style and contextual value for its location in a rural setting.

2659 Roger Stevens Drive has cultural heritage value for its association with the Bradley family and the early settlement of the interior of Marlborough Township. The house was constructed in 1876 for Edward Dailey, replacing an earlier log house on the site, and was purchased by Moses Bradley in 1900. The Bradley family of Marlborough Township were one of a number of Irish Protestant who arrived in Carleton County in the mid-19th century and quickly prospered through a combination of hard work and excellent farmland. They were one of the pioneering families near the hamlet of Pierce’s Corners in the northern part of the township and Moses, followed by his son Charles, farmed the land until 1960.

SUBMITTED

Ice magic Irene Staron’s photo entitled Morning Ice Magic at the A.Y. Jackson Studio was selected as the winner of the Judge’s Choice Award during the annual winter photo contest.

The house at 2659 Roger Stevens Drive has design value as a good example of the Gothic Revival style popular in rural Ontario in the late 19th century. The Gothic Revival style became popular in Ontario in the 1860s and quickly became popular for farmers as they replaced the log houses associated with initial settlement. Typical of the style are its L-shaped plan, dichromatic brickwork, decorative bargeboard and veranda.

2659 Roger Stevens Drive is important in retaining and reinforcing the existing agricultural character of this area of Ottawa. Set back from the road by a long drive, the house is physically and functionally linked to its surroundings.

OBJECTIONS Any person wishing to object to this designation may do so by letter, outlining the reasons for the objection and any other relevant information. This letter must be received by the Clerk of the City of Ottawa either by registered mail or personally delivered within 30 days of the publication of this notice. When a notice of objection has been received, the Council of the City of Ottawa will refer the matter to the Conservation Review Board for a Hearing and a Report.

All need to heed flood warnings

A

fter a winter of significant snowfall, everyone needs to take extra care around the waterways of the capital region this spring.

According to the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, the snowpack in the area is twice the depth normally measured in the area in the middle of February, posing a significant risk to low-lying areas in the watershed. If we get significant rainfall this spring, that will only increase the flooding risk.

While a flood risk may not be imminent, the conditions are ripe for there to be a significant threat as temperatures rise. Residents living in traditionally flood-prone areas are advised to watch for flood warnings that could be potentially issued by the conservation authority.

This flood risk is borne not just by those who live near rivers and lakes in the area, but also by those who enjoy spending recreational time in city parks and other riverside areas. Especially at risk are children and pets, who could easily stray too close to high water and be pulled under by swift currents. This means parents need to explain the dangers to their children and keep them away from moving water. Dog owners likewise should keep their pets on a leash whenever they are near rivers

or ponds.

Children and pets are also prone to venturing out on the rapidly thinning ice. In past years, the Ottawa Drowning Prevention Coalition has warned about the risks of thin ice, reminding residents that â&#x20AC;&#x153;one can never tell the true depth or the thickness of the ice by the colour on the surface.â&#x20AC;? The best advice is to simply stay off the ice.

Emergency services typically responded to dozens of ice and waterway related calls at this time of year, and drownings are unfortunately an all-too-common occurence. With the potential for increased flooding risk this spring, this trend threatens to continue if people fail to remain wary of the dangers.

These tragedies are something no one wants to experience and it falls to all of us to stay safe near waterways this spring. Several authorities have made clear the risks presented by high river levels and thinning ice, it is now our responsibility to ensure everyone heeds those warnings.

The last thing a parent, sibling, friend or pet owner wants to do is lose a loved one. Stay aware of the risks, heed the warnings and stay away from area rivers, ponds and lakes until the threat has passed.

Change can be a double-edged sword

Y

ou get a little nervous when the people who make a product you like have started thinking.

Sometimes thinking is the worst thing that can happen. Thinking means changing and sometimes changing is the worst thing you can do.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one reaction to a headline last week: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tim Hortons brews up changes.â&#x20AC;? The story under the headline says that there has been a steady decline in the number of people buying food and coffee at Tims, because of the challenge of cheaper coffee at some competitors and greater varieties of coffee at others. The article goes on to suggest that the Tims will consider changes in everything from cup size to decor to doughnut selection.

The notion of change is going to make some Tims fans nervous. Change is not always bad. Bigger bathrooms would be a hit with members of the travelling public who sometimes face lineups. But the thing Tims doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to change is its personality, which has always been its most important advantage.

It seems to be a natural tendency in business for companies to imitate their competitors. This can result in a sameness that is frustrating for consumers looking for something distinct. Tims has so far avoided this. If you

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town walk into a Tims, you know youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not in a Starbucks.

Most people would say that is good. But to many in business the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Nowhere is this more true than in the newspaper business.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen newspapers try to be like other newspapers, like television, like the Internet.

And newspapers are in trouble.

It is true in other areas as well. A walk through the supermarket will tell you that.

There is a great deal of choice among products that are the same. Take a listen to pop music. There is a sameness to it that drives many people away to the FM dial. To the average consumer, most mainstream cars are the same.

Given all that, why would you change when

you have a distinctive personality? You might, perhaps, if you thought that consumers had changed. In terms of coffee places, have they?

Political strategists have this theory that voters can be divided into Starbucks people and Tim Hortons people -- with the Tims people having suburban and rural lifestyles and voting Conservative, while the Starbucks people think like downtowners and vote Liberal and NDP. In reality, as opposed to politics, things are not so simple and neither are we.

Most of us are a mixture. Sometimes we feel like taking the laptop to the Starbucks and splurging on some exotic coffee-related concoction. Other times we just feel like a coffee, quick and cheap, in a well-lit place where you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to wait for a dozen people with laptops to vacate a table. (This last may change, now that Tims is offering free Wi-Fi.) On the road, people probably prefer Tims, the washrooms notwithstanding, because they are easier to find, have good parking and are kid-friendly. Those are things that Tims would be crazy to change. And they might be wary of offering new coffee flavours, since that just slows things up in the ordering line.

If Tims is really thinking about serious change, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a vain hope that they might

consider getting out of the drive-thru business.

The problems with drive-thru have been welldocumented, most notably clogged streets and emissions from all those idling vehicles, as well as slower service within the stores for those who had the energy to walk from their cars.

The end of the drive-thru wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen unless municipal authorities see the light, which mostly they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. But Tim Hortons could gain a lot of public goodwill by such a gesture. Then maybe other businesses would follow, since companies, as we have seen, tend to imitate their competitors.

THINK BIG:

City home to hundreds of ukulele players Nevil Hunt nevil.hunt@metroland.com

Arts - Chilly pedestrians on Bank Street are wrapped up in scarves and toques, unaware that a slice of the South Pacific is just steps away.

The Bytown Ukulele Club is tuning up.

At least once a month, dozens of ukulele players fill the basement room at the Clocktower Brew Pub at Bank and Pretoria Avenue in the Glebe, sharing their love for one of the simplest musical instruments to learn.

Sue Rogers is the group’s selfconfessed “facilitator for life.” Before the evening’s playing begins, she zips around the room welcoming newcomers and catching up with some of the group’s 400-plus members. Her enthusiasm for the tiny ukuleles is infectious.

Rogers said she was hooked the moment she saw a ukulele perfor-

Some of our youngest are eight and nine years old and you can see them playing next to their grannies SUE ROGERS

mance at the Ottawa Folk Festival.

“It was just so easy,” she said.

“Within two weeks I was singing away and strumming.”

She said the ukulele draws people in because it’s fun to accompany yourself on songs and because players find it easy to move from beginner to intermediate.

“Some people can learn in less than an hour,” Rogers said, adding she’s taught some of her co-workers to play over their lunch hour.

First-timers are welcome at every regular BUG meeting.

“That’s how you learn; being surrounded by it,” she said, adding all ages can take part. “Some of our youngest are eight and nine years old and you can see them playing next to their grannies.”

LYRICS AND CHORDS

The four strings of a ukulele need only be strummed with one hand to make a sweet sound. The other hand takes care of chords, but thankfully for newbies, there are many songs that require just two or three chords.

The Clocktower’s big screen TVs show no sports – members can instead follow along as chord diagrams and lyrics are shown for the players.

10

At some of the pub’s tables, music stands have been replaced with iPads, each holding thousands of songs. All the players are welcome to join in and sing as they play.

The room – which holds a maximum of 90 uke players – is bedlam at 6:45 p.m. as everyone tunes up or finishes their dinner. The harmony begins promptly at 7 p.m.

And if a pub isn’t your thing, you may see BUG members out in the community, playing farmers markets and the like.

“All our events are interactive so people can try out the ukuleles,” Rogers said.

You can look for dozens of BUG players at the Vernon Canada Day celebration.

Along with the small size of the instruments comes a small price tag: another reason for the instrument’s continuing popularity, in addition to portability.

Players can start out with ukuleles – they come as soprano, concert, tenor or baritone – that cost less than $50 at city music stores, although you can spend more than $1,000 on one hand made in Hawaii.

What’s also striking about ukuleles is that their tiny size bears little relation to how much fun they deliver, both for players and listeners. During a recent beginners night at the Clocktower, there were few smiles while songs were played as the budding musicians concentrated on TV screens and their finger placement to create the chords. But as the final note of each song was played, faces would light up and the smiles and laughter were unstoppable.

If the contrast between full-size adults and pint-size ukuleles make you laugh, head to the Internet and search for “Israel” and “Ukulele” to watch the late Israel Kamakawiwo’ole play his favourite instrument.

And should you catch the ukulele bug, visit bytownukulele.ca for meeting information and lots of free advice on playing the instrument.

Arts - The producer of the Ottawa Grassroots Festival says he is expecting a “quantum leap” forward this year for the three-day concert and workshop event.

Now in its third year, the volunteer-run folk music, dance and spoken word festival aims to grow and highlight local musical talent. Taking place throughout the three floors of Centretown’s Montgomery Legion, the festival runs April 25-27.

“This is going to be a good year -- even better than before,” said producer Bob Nesbitt.

“Exciting stuff seems to be happening every day.”

Organizers of this year’s festival will have more help in building the event, as the Ottawa Grassroots Festival is now a registered non-profit corporation. This means they now have the ability to deploy crew members to oversee the many different areas of the festival, guided by a board of directors Nesbitt calls “stellar” and a publicity committee he calls “tireless.”

Despite the better organization, which has allowed this year’s festival to come together early, Nesbitt stresses it is still a purely volunteer-run event, guided and crafted by individuals who share a passion for music and promoting local talent.

“No one gets paid, except for the performers, of course,” said Nesbitt.

This year’s festival brings another new element to the table, in the form of a fundraising concert. Following the festival’s launch at Pressed on Gladstone Avenue on March 5, Laura Smith will take to the stage at the National Arts Centre on March 8. Tickets for that fundraiser are available through ticketmaster.ca or at the Ottawa Folklore Centre.

The festival itself will feature headliner James Keelaghan and a host of diverse artists. Entry is free during the day, with workshops planned to appeal to kids and adults alike.

A full listing of performers and related information can be found at the festival’s website, ottawagrassrootsfestival.com.

Rare exhibit at Aviation and Space Museum Last remaining Hawker Typhoon on loan Manotick News staff

News - The last of a legendary Second World War aircraft will be on display at the Aviation and Space Museum for this year’s D-Day commemoration.

The last remaining Hawker Typhoon, an aircraft which played a significant role in the invasion of Normandy 70 years ago is on loan from the Royal Air Force Museum.

The museum announced it will be part of its planned D-Day Commemoration in June.

According to the museum, Hawker Typhoons saw active service throughout the war, most notably during operations in Normandy, and were flown by several Royal Canadian Air Force squadrons during the war, including the 440 Squadron based in Ottawa.

“This is an important collaboration between two national museums,” said Stephen Quick, the aviation museum’s director. “It echoes the collaboration between two

great nations during the Second World War, when young Canadian and British pilots flew together and tamed this wild aircraft.”

The museum added it views this exhibition as a special way for Canadians to also commemorate the 90th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Air Force.

This is an important collaboration between two national museums.

STEPHEN QUICK

“This is an incredible opportunity for Canadians to see this unique aircraft and experience the stories and an incredible gift from the Royal Air Force Museum in loaning this aircraft for us to remember,” Quick said.

Director for the Royal Air Force Museum in London,

Peter Dye, said his museum feels privileged to support the aviation museum in honouring thousands of Canadian airmen who served alongside the Royal Air Force in the two world wars.

“We are also delighted to be able to recognize the invaluable support that Canada has played in helping to train British aircrew over the past century,” Dye said. “In loaning Hawker Typhoon MN235 we hope to be able to repay a small part of the immeasurable debt owed to the Royal Canadian Air Force and to honour its veterans for their selfless and enduring achievements.”

After years in storage with the Smithsonian Institute, the Typhoon was returned to the Royal Air Force Museum in 1968. It became the centerpiece for the London museum in its D-Day commemorative display in 1994.

Choosing the right footwear for healthy feet Do your feet, knees and back ache after a day of walking or standing around?

If you’re like many people when you buy your footwear you look at the price and the style of the shoe. Your feet take a lot of punishment on a daily basis and it’s therefore important when choosing a new pair of shoes that you find a pair that not only compliments your wardrobe, but also the shape of your feet.

Do your feet and ankles tend to roll in or out making you a pronator or a supinator?

Perhaps you have flat feet or high arches. Each of these foot conditions can affect the type of shoes that you’ll find the most comfortable. Get the wrong ones and you can end up with not only sore feet but pain in your ankles, knees, hips and lower back. Many people have no idea what kind of shape their feet are and continue to choose the wrong style of shoes.

If you do suffer from foot, back, knee and/or hip pain, visiting a foot care clinic such as BioPed http://bioped. com could provide you with valuable information on how to choose the right shoes for you.

At BioPed, a certified Pedorthist will do a gait assessment to discover any issues that affect the way you walk, discuss your lifestyle and any medical conditions.

They then advise you on the type of shoes that would provide you with the kind of support you need for stabilization and comfort.

By understanding the shape of your feet you can choose the right footwear for daily as well as athletic activities.

In the past, supportive footwear http://www.bioped. com/products/footwear.asp was considered unattractive and associated with an older generation. Today you can find stylish and attractive footwear for every foot condition and age

group that’s durable and comfortable.

ROYAL AIR FORCE MUSEUM/SUBMITTED

The Canada Aviation and Space Museum announced it will unveil the last remaining Hawker Typhoon for D-Day commemoration this year. The Typhoon is on loan from the Royal Air Force Museum.

Mother’s lessons on life proved invaluable

S

ometimes I got tired of listening to what Mother called her “lessons on life.”

Just about everything I did provided me with a lesson on life according to Mother. I had to admit, most of them rolled off me like rain off a duck’s back, but she persevered. Oh, how she persevered.

We learned early about honesty. According to

do with if she was needed at home.

Even though she was only a few years older than I was, she was the oldest girl of a large family, and the chore of helping her mother often fell on her shoulders. We were poor like most other families around us deep in the Depression, but Audrey said her family was even poorer than we were.

Her father worked in the bush miles from their farm, and was often away for weeks at a time. That left her mother to tend the farm, leaving little time to look after the younger children, so my little classmate, more often than not, had to stay at home to lend a hand.

There was always a sadness about this young girl. You could see it in her face.

She had long dark hair, and often she would tell me how she wished she had coloured ribbons like I had to tie it off her face. I knew without a doubt there simply wasn’t enough extra money for hair ribbons to replace the elastic she used to tie her hair up in a knot on the top of her head.

My hair ribbons were bought at Walker’s Store in Renfrew

MARY COOK Memories Mother, honesty was right up there with going to church every Sunday. Modesty was another thing she preached

R0052525738

about. It took my sister Audrey to explain to me that the modesty Mother was preaching about had nothing to do with running around the house in our flourbag underwear, or taking our Saturday night bath in front of everyone in the kitchen.

It had everything to do with bragging about ourselves.

And certainly envy, could lead us straight to hell in a hand basket.

Then came the day when I learned about still another lesson on life. It had to do with a young girl who went to the Northcote School.

Rather, she went to the Northcote School when she could. It wasn’t unusual for her to miss several days in a row, and we all knew it had nothing to do with catching the measles or the whooping cough. It had everything to

only if Mother had a few extra pennies from selling her wares door to door, but at least I had hair ribbons.

So I decided I would take two or three of my best ribbons, put them in a little paper bag, and hand them to the young girl at school.

It was on one of the rare days she was at school, and I told her not to open the bag until she got home. “No peeking,” I said.

When I got home, I told Mother what I had done, and said I felt so good about it I was going to phone my best friend Velma and tell her about my good deed.

Well, Mother told me to sit down, and I knew without a doubt, another lesson on life was coming -- she had that look about her.

Mother said that when you did a good deed, if you told anyone about it, it erased the deed. I had a hard time grasping what she meant, since I knew I had done the deed, so how could it be erased?

But Mother went on in great detail, telling me good deeds were no longer good deeds if you bragged about them. I still wasn’t convinced, but as

always, Mother’s word was the law, so I kept to myself my giving the ribbons to my young classmate at the Northcote School.

When she next came to school, several days later, so I knew she was needed at home, her long black hair was tied high on her head, and there was one of the long ribbons from the brown paper bag I had given her.

She gave me the biggest smile, and neither of us said a word. No one knew but the two of us how she came to have brightly coloured ribbons tying up her long dark hair. A warm feeling came over me, and I knew then what Mother meant when she said a good deed is erased if you brag about it.

Another lesson learned, and this one that has stayed with me since that day Mother sat me down in the kitchen so many years ago.

CFB Rockcliffe reveals community design plan Transportation, pedestrian top issue Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - When it comes to building a miniature town within the city of Ottawa at the former Rockcliffe Air Base, the company in charge believes multiple roadway access points is a top priority.

Canada Lands Company revealed the draft community design plan for CFB Rockcliffe on Feb. 18 at a public open house where 400 interested residents attended the open house to get a peak at the new plan.

The plan revealed Hemlock Avenue, Codd’s Road and Burma Road as the three major collector roads. Don Schultz, real estate director for the Canada Lands Company project said the multiple access points are important to ensure a constant flow of traffic.

“The general ideal is to

have more routes in and out of the site as possible,” Schultz said.

There are three access points that direct potential residents south, towards Montreal Road and the Aviation Parkway.

The major collector defined in the plan runs from Hemlock Avenue, linking to Beechwood to the east and the Rockcliffe Parkway to the north, to the west to Montreal Road next to the National Research Council to the east, with a major route running south on Codd’s Road.

This, Schultz said should help mitigate some concerns the company has heard over the past year consulting with partners and community associations about the project.

Penny Thompson, who represents Manor Park on the community advisory group for the project said she supports the proposed routes but said that traffic mitigation still is required for the Hemlock Road/Beechwood Avenue link.

“I fully support the proposed connection at the north end of the development that would link to the Rockcliffe

Parkway,” Thompson said.

“This link is shown on the preferred draft plan has a multi-use pathway which is, in itself, appropriate to the cycling supportive directive of the development.”

Thompson added she felt the creation of a roadway alongside the multi-use path could help dilute the amount of traffic that would otherwise use already burdened local roads through her neighbourhood.

Mike Bulthuis, president of the Vanier Community Association also named transportation the top item his community would be keeping a close watch on.

“We would be interested in keeping multiple roadways in and out.

I know that transportation is something that is getting the most attention, and I would say that we share some of those concerns,” Bulthuis said.

For Vanier, Bulthuis added, he feels it is important to work with Canada Lands to see if any transit benefits for the development could trickle down through Vanier.

“We want to see how we

Ruby would benefit from obedience training to help her bone up on her doggy manners so she can be the best dog possible.

RUBY (A164680)

can leverage transit improvements throughout the new neighbourhood and ours.

Whatever they do for transit is likely to benefit us as well,” he said.

Canada Lands have spent the past year consulting with the community, most recently at a workshop in May where three design alternatives were revealed - the Arc, the Grid and the True North - which showcased development on the land in varying ways.

Then, participants divided into 10 groups had the opportunity to speak out about different aspects of the designs - everything from zoning to grid patterns to the types of retail and employment planned for the site.

The overview of the draft community design plan was compiled based on these previous consultations, and in some ways is a combination of the three previous plans.

“There were winning ideas from all three,” Schultz said.

“The winning idea from the Arc was the park overlooking the Ottawa River. Everyone hinted at a community core.”

It the draft plan presented, there will be a community

core, with the potential for a corner square aimed at hosting events or to be used as a gathering space.

“We see it not as a green space, but rather an urban plaza,” Schultz said.

“Ideas of a water feature, similar to one like Dundas Square in Toronto.” Additionally, the Algonquins of Ontario and Canada Lands have an agreement concerning development on the site, which includes a commemoration of the history of the Algonquin people, participation in all stages of the concept development, land use planning and detailed design, and the use of qualified Algonquin companies for the project.

Each alternative plan had a designated spot for an Algonquin Commemoration overlooking the Ottawa River.

Where the commemoration spot will go, Schultz said still needs to be determined.

Parks, a business core with bumps out and on-street parking, pedestrian trails and cycling paths and affordable housing is all part of the plan.

“I think there are a lot of exciting things about the

plan,” Schultz said.

“The amount of open space, connections, a community core - of course none of this is going to happen overnight.”

The zoning heights range in the plan, with 20 storey sites near the Aviation Parkway and a maximum height of six storeys in the core.

Schultz said Canada Lands operate on strict guidelines, and once this CDP is approved, it will be treated as close to the final word on height and development constrictions as can be.

“We sell the land and once sold, obviously we can’t dictate what gets built there, but we seek developers based on our own guidelines and the guidelines of this plan,” Schultz said.

“But, we are trying to make it as difficult as possible to rezone the properties.”

The development of the land will take place in phases and could take a number of years to complete.

Construction on the first phase is aimed to begin in 2015 with occupancy in 2017.

Local Project Linus Chapter Receives Donation from Capital Memorial Gardens Thursday February 13 was a banner day for the local Project Linus Chapter that meets at Wool-Tyme. They were presented with a substantial cheque from the Arbor Memorial Foundation, the charitable foundation of Capital Memorial Gardens. With Wool-Tyme providing the yarn at wholesale prices, this donation will provide the Project Linus knitters with a year’s supply of yarn.

This chapter of Project Linus has been providing blankets to sick children at CHEO since 1998. This dedicated group of volunteers has been meeting in the afternoons on the second and fourth Thursday of every month for 16 years (with the occasional cancellation due to weather). Each meeting is attended by an average of 10 people. From the laughter emanating from the classroom, the volunteers are enjoying the company, the tea, and most of all – seeing all the donated blankets that Ottawa Valley residents have taken the time to knit, crochet, or quilt. Stories are exchanged and the problems of the world solved while they sew the official Project Linus tags to the blankets. They have delivered over 12,700 blankets to the hospital.

This donation from the Arbor Foundation will go a long way in providing many more blankets to the children at CHEO. Many thanks to all the staff of Capital Memorial Gardens for their generosity.

Would you like to be involved with Project Linus? It’s easy and everyone is welcome. Donate some yarn or knit/ crochet a blanket or make some squares to be pieced together into a blanket. Donations (yarn or blankets) must be new material, machine washable and dryable, and be free of odours and pet hair. Donations of yarn or blankets can be dropped off at Wool-Tyme (190 Colonnade Rd S., Ottawa) during regular business hours. You can come and join the volunteers from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on the second and fourth Thursday of every month to sew on tags, piece together squares, or make blankets. Yarn from this wonderful donation will be distributed during the regular Project Linus meetings.
