If Wal-Mart can price match, why can’t Hydro One? Petition created to harmonize rural hydro rates Kelly Kent

kkent@metroland.com

If you don’t try, you’ll never know. That’s why Coun. George Darouze of Osgoode ward spent months creating a

petition to the Ontario government, urging them to harmonize hydro rates for all Ottawa residents. “I don’t think it’s fair for rural residents to pay 30 per cent more than people on the other side of Mitch Owens (Road),” said Darouze of the difference between Hydro Ottawa rates paid by urban residents and Hydro One rates paid by those in the city’s rural areas. Darouze’s petition was prompted by the increasingly

varied rates paid by residents who live in different areas of the same city. The problem, he said, is that when Ottawa amalgamated more than 15 years ago, 45,000 rural residents were not absorbed by the city’s utility company: Hydro Ottawa. Instead, they were left with their existing provider: Hydro One. For years, the discrepancy wasn’t an issue. However, in 2004 and 2005, Hydro One changed their billing structure and began to charge a delivery fee to rural residents. This caused rates in areas like Manotick, Greely and Osgoode to skyrocket, resting currently at about 30 per cent more than rates inside the urban core. “The residents are really tired of paying,” Darouze said. “We need to do something.” The first option put on the table was for Hydro Ottawa to purchase service rights for those 45,000 rural Ottawa residents from Hydro One.

Trail blazers Alexa Burry, left, and her daughter, Allana, look forward to a hot breakfast at the Red Dot in Osgoode on March 5. The Osgoode residents planned to eat with other members of the Osgoode Carleton Snowmobile Trail Club and surrounding clubs ahead of the Ride for Her in Snowmobile Style. Organizers were hoping the event, which included two groups of enthusiasts riding from the Red Dot to the Rideau Carleton Raceway, would generate about $3,500 in support of the Ottawa chapter of Ovarian Cancer Canada.

Local MP urges government to continue with national Afghan veterans memorial Commission (NCC) respectively, were prompted to hold the conference after media reports Friday that the Liberal government refused to confirm whether they would continue with the project. It was the Liberals who put Canadian troops in Afghanistan back in 2001, Poilievre said, and he feels they should follow up with the memorial. More than 40,000 Canadian Armed Forces served time in Afghanistan between 2001 and 2014; of those, more than 2,000 were injured and 158 lost their lives. “The war in Afghanistan is Canada’s longest ever combat mission,” Poilievre added. The Memorial to Canada’s Mission in Afghanistan was announced in November of 2014 and is slated to be completed in the next few years. It is to be constructed in Richmond Landing, where it will join an existing Royal Canadian Navy

Local MP Pierre Poilievre is calling for the Liberal government to move ahead with the intended Memorial to Canada’s Mission in Afghanistan. Poilievre joined Durham MP Erin O’Toole at the proposed memorial site on Sunday, March 6 to announce his continued support for the project, and to urge the current government to do the same. “It was important to combat terrorism in the aftermath of 9-11,” Poilievre said of Canada’s involvement with the war in Afghanistan in a later interview with the Manotick News. “I think the least we can do is recognize that effort with a national memorial.” O’Toole and Poilievre, who announced the proposed memorial site as the ministers of Veterans Affairs and the National Capital

Local MP Pierre Poilievre is calling for the Liberal government to move ahead with the intended Memorial to Canada’s Mission in Afghanistan, after recent media reports that the Liberal government refused to confirm whether the project would continue. Here, Canadian troops pay tribute to the National War Memorial in Confederation Square. monument. Poilievre said it is important to continued with the monument as planned in order to recognize the bravery and service of then men and women who served. He’ll continue to pressure the government to proceed

with the project, he said, and urges others to do so as well. “I’m confident that if enough Canadians speak loudly enough the government will move forward with this monument,” he said.

However, that option proved to be a dead end. Darouze said it would be “financially irresponsible” for Hydro Ottawa to take over those residents. “There is a lot of hurdles,” Darouze said of that option. “We could work on it for another four, five, 10 years and nothing would happen.” Instead, working on a suggestion from a Greely resident, Darouze said his office began to look into creating a petition that would more quickly and efficiently bring attention to the issue. The petition calls on the provincial government to equalize rates between urban and rural residents. “If Wal-Mart can price match,” Darouze said, “why can’t Hydro One match the price for our residents?” The petition is using a hard-copy platform as opposed to an online one. This, Darouze said, gives it more credibility. The form can be downloaded from Darouze’s website (www.georgedarouze.ca) or Facebook. Alternatively, the form

can be picked up from his office at 8243 Victoria St. in Metcalfe. When completed, the forms can be dropped off at Darouze’s office, sent in by mail or picked up by a member of his staff if arrangements are made. “We need everyone in the City of Ottawa to sign,” Darouze said. “I think we have an opportunity to voice our concerns and voice our opinion to Queen’s Park.” Darouze said the petition will be available for as long as it takes to get all the signatures from Ottawa residents that it possibly can. “This is a community effort,” he said. “We have to work on it as a team.” Darouze said he thinks a petition is the most efficient and effective way to draw attention to the hydro rate issue facing rural residents; after all, he said, they have nothing to lose. “We are not going to lose anything,” he said of rural residents, including himself, who are paying too much for hydro. “The result could be great and it could be not, but if you don’t at least try you’ll never know.”

In Canada, sometimes you’re given a second chance at life. That is the case for 65-year-old Colin Jayantha Perera, who has been given the opportunity to receive a potentially life-saving kidney transplant after MP Pierre Poilievre urged the immigration minister to override a rejected visitor visa for the Sri Lankan organ donor.

A local man, Colin Jayantha Perera, has the opportunity for a second chance at life now that his nephew has been given approval for a visitors visa. “It is a second life I am getting,” said Perera at an event at Poilievre’s office

in Manotick on Friday, March 4. “I’m so proud of Canada.”

Perera, who owns Mike’s Pizzeria & Restaurant on Bank Street in Metcalfe, was

diagnosed with end-stage renal disease recently when his only kidney began to fail. He must undergo four hours of dialysis every second day and needs a new kidney to improve his condition. “He’s been suffering for a very long time,” Poilievre said. In a stroke of luck, Perera’s nephew, Lasantha Bandara, turned out to be a willing match. However, Bandara lives in Sri Lanka and in order to enter the county to donate his kidney to his uncle, he needed to get approval for a visitor visa. Unfortunately for Perera, Citizenship and Immigra-

tion Canada rejected the application in January, leaving him without access to his donor. “I was so frustrated, I wanted to stop dialysis,” Perera said of learning the visitor visa for his nephew had been rejected. “I went to the hospital and I said, ‘I want to stop dialysis. There’s no point in living.’” In an effort to remedy the situation, Perera visited Poilievre’s Manotick office and shared his story with case manager J.P. Mitton, who said he would do what he could to help. See KIDNEY page 10

With that in mind, Larson did caution locals that high volumes of water will be entering the water system over the next month or so, and that precautions should be taken. “Stay back,” he said. “Don’t go near the water if you can avoid it, and make sure children are supervised.” More information on current water conditions can be found on the RVCA website at www.rvca.ca.

March may have come in with a boom of winter weather, but the current mild temperatures could mean an early spring. Every year, the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) monitors spring conditions and reports on factors such as predicted water levels and probability of flooding along local water bodies. On March 1, the RVCA measured the snow cover and found the water equivalent to be slightly higher than the historical average. Patrick Larson, senior water resources technician with the RVCA, said this is due to the record-breaking snowstorm on Feb. 16 and the smaller storm on March 1 and 2. Now that the forecast has risen to above-freezing temperatures for much of the next few weeks, Larson said much of that accumulated snow will begin to melt. “I think these next few

Annual snowmobile Ride for Her raises $3,600 for Ovarian Cancer Canada Kelly Kent

kkent@metroland.com

On what was possibly the last good snowmobiling day of the season on Saturday, March 5, more than 40 locals riders took advantage of the good weather to take part in the annual Ride for Her event in Osgoode. “We had the best weather we could have possibly asked for,” said Cheryl Ozen, an event organizer. “It was a nice way to send off the season.” The annual Ride for Her snowmobile event is a fundraiser for the Ottawa chapter of Ovarian Cancer Canada and is held in partnership with a motorcycle ride of the same name in the spring. This year, participants raised more than $3,600 for the charity, smashing last year’s total of $2,800. “I’m overjoyed at that result,” Ozen said. “How brilliant is that?” After the event was cancelled and rescheduled from its original date at the end of February due to a lack

of snow, Ozen was unsure what to expect for participation. However, she said she was surprised at the number of riders who turned out to support ovarian cancer research. With a goal of just $3,000, Ozen said she’s happy with how the event went, even though it was pushed back by a week. Plans are already underway for next year’s event, which Ozen said will include provisions in case of another unpredictable winter. Motorcycle ride

On Saturday, May 28, motorcycle enthusiasts near and far are invited to participate in the third annual Ride for Her event, which works in conjunction with the snowmobile ride to raise funds for Ovarian Cancer Canada. This year’s ride begins at 9 a.m. and follows a scenic route for three full hours before returning to Osgoode for lunch. The cost to participate in the event is $30,

In addition to the ride, participants will have the opportunity to participate in a silent auction, prizes and a

raffle draw. “Save the date,” said Ozen, “because it really is a fun day.” Last year’s motorcycle ride saw 70 participants, but Ozen said she hopes to

see even more turn out for this year’s event. If all goes according to plan, she said she hopes to raise $5,000 or more and bring the 2016 total to more than $8,500. “It’s a worthy cause, and

we’d like to raise as much as possible,” she said. More information on Ride for Her can be found at www.rideforher.ca.

Notice of Study Commencement North Island Link Class Environmental Assessment and Functional Design

2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

The City of Ottawa has initiated the North Island Link (NIL) Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) and Functional Design Study. The main objective of this study is to link the existing watermain on Rideau Valley Drive to the proposed Manotick Watermain Link at the north end of Long Island. The NIL will provide additional capacity and reliability of water supply to the urban area south of the Jock River. The project is identified in the City’s current Infrastructure Master Plan.

The Process The study is being planned under Schedule B of the Municipal Class EA (October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011 and 2015). In order to satisfy the requirements of the Class EA process, the identification and evaluation of a range of alternatives will be undertaken that focus on potential watermain alignments and connections with the existing watermain infrastructure in Manotick. The study will also include the selection of a preferred alternative and a functional design of the NIL as well as a functional design of a watermain that will provide a secondary water supply to residents of Hillside Gardens in Manotick.

11.

Consultation Information about the project will be available on ottawa.ca/northislandlink. Interested persons can provide comments at any time during the Class EA process. With the exception of personal information, comments received become part of the public record. Upon completion of this study, a report will be available for public review and comment.

Honour our Afghan veterans

s the federal Conservative party and the right-wing chattering class of columnists continue to lick their wounds over losing an election to a person named Trudeau, the way the new federal Liberal government manages the Canadian military has become the go-to topic to criticize the Grits. The narrative that the new federal Liberal government is “weak” in its support for the coalition taking on Daesh (formerly identified as ISIS or ISIL) does not hold up to real scrutiny by people who don’t have a knee-jerk anti-Trudeau streak. But there were a few Conservative voices raised recently that are on the mark on at least one thing. The previously planned memorial to Canada’s military effort in the Afghan war must come to fruition. Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre, now reduced to being just one of a tiny Conservative beachhead in the national capital area, joined Durham MP Erin O’Toole at the proposed memorial site in Ottawa on March 6 to pledge his continued support for the project, and to urge the current government to publically do the same. This came after news reports indicated the new Liberal government was reviewing previous Conserva-

tive government initiatives. The media reports didn’t say the Afghan war memorial was actually on the chopping block, but the possibility of a review does dovetail with the Conservative narrative about the Trudeau Liberal’s military policies, even if that narrative is often at odds with reality. It is almost comical how members of the former Conservative government, a government that touted itself as being “strong” on military issues while at the same time shunned many veterans’ concerns over the course of its time in office, now turns its guns on the new government. But politics is politics, and hypocrisy is often the name of the game in that arena. But Poilievre is right when he told Metroland Media that, “It was important to combat terrorism in the aftermath of 9-11. I think the least we can do is recognize that effort with a national memorial.” More than 40,000 members of the Canadian Armed Forces served in Afghanistan between 2001 and 2014; of those, more than 2,000 were injured and 158 lost their lives. The Canadian military effort in Afghanistan, which was started by a previous Liberal regime, must be honoured, regardless of which federal political party takes credit for making sure it actually gets done.

A side order of courage

see that the Empire Grill changed its name to the Empire Restaurant and then became something else entirely. This reminded me of a walk I took through the market recently. Walking down Clarence Street it occurred to me that almost none of the many restaurants on the street were there five years ago. By the way, that doesn’t mean that a whole bunch of restaurants were added to the city’s supply. It means that a whole bunch of restaurants died first. It’s a precarious business, as you’re reminded every day, maybe the most precarious of all. Some restaurants that we thought were really successful are no longer with us. They produced great food, seemed to be

may even make money. But it’s not so simple, as far too many owners have found out. Many things can go wrong and most will. There will be delays and red tape before the necessary permits get there. The renovations will be slow and more expensive than budgeted. Good staff will be hard to find and the best will leave. Deliveries will not be reliable and the signature dish will not be available on the day the self-styled reviewer from TripAdvisor shows up. Taxes will increase unexpectedly. Your street will, without much in the way of warning, become a construction zone lasting for months. Even people who want to get there will give up. Even worse, the neighbourhood may suddenly become trendy. While everybody congratulates you on being located in a hot neighbourhood, the increased traffic and difficulty parking will drive

people away. Meanwhile, your rent will triple. It will be too hot on the summer, too cold in the winter for people to go out for dinner. Even your friends who, it turns out, have other things to do. Culinary fashions can change. The thing you prepare so well that everybody loves? It becomes passé. Nobody wants it any more. It is so 2015.Even government policies can affect you. Remember when the government decided to crack down on fancy expense account meals. About time, many of us said, but some restaurants paid the ultimate price. Remember Café Henry Burger? Been there lately? Didn’t think so. Maybe you survive all that. Then the big-name chain restaurant opens down the block and every heads over there because the spaghetti is cheaper and the chicken wings are famous. There are dozens of other things that can go wrong and

Immigration Minister overturns rejected visa to save Canadian life Continued from page 3

Within a few days, Poilievre’s office had appealed to Immigration Minister John McCallum, who promptly agreed to use a special minister’s permit to overturn the rejection. “This is an extraordinary circumstance,” said Poilievre of the situation. “In fact, we have an opportunity to save a Canadian life.”

With his visitor’s visa approved, Bandara arrived in Canada on March 14 to prepare for the operation that could save his uncle’s life. If it goes well, Perera could receive his new kidney at the beginning of April. “Now I do not know how to express myself, I’m so happy, because this is a second life I’m getting,” Perera said.

“I hope to live for another 20 to 25 years with my new kidney,” he added, laughing. Poilievre used the occasion to draw attention to organ donation in general, noting that more than 4,400 Canadians are currently in need of a transplant. Almost 75 per cent of those people are waiting for a kidney. “It is very hard to find a

kidney,” he said, citing reasons, such a lack of willing donors, the difficulties with finding a suitable match and health roadblocks that might prevent a donor from undergoing the procedure at

all. Perera said he was grateful to everyone who was involved in granting the visa to his nephew so that he could have the operation that could extend his life.

“I especially thank Minister John McCallum, the Immigration Minister, too, for very compassionately thinking about my situation and allowing this man to come to Canada.”

Nepean South Infrastructure Projects Open House Monday, March 21, 2016 Walter Baker Sports Centre, Upper Concourse, 100 Malvern Drive 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Residents are invited to attend an Open House at which four infrastructure projects planned for Nepean South will be presented.

Comments received will be collected under the Environmental Assessment Act and, with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record. Chapman Mills Drive Extension and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Presentation will be held at 6:30 p.m. The City of Ottawa has initiated the Chapman Mills Drive Extension (Longfields Drive to Strandherd Drive) and Bus Rapid Transit (Greenbank Road to west of Cedarview Road) EA Study to determine the most appropriate means to accommodate and manage increasing transportation infrastructure requirements around the Barrhaven Town Centre area. The EA study is being undertaken in accordance with Ontario’s Environmental Assessment Act, fulfilling requirements as a Municipal Class EA process for a Schedule ‘C’ project. At this third and final Open House, participants will have an opportunity to provide feedback on the Recommended Plan. Residents are encouraged to provide comments by April 4.

The City is conducting a Municipal Class EA and Functional Design Study for the Greenbank Road watermain between Jockvale Road and south of the Jock River. The study will determine the most appropriate alignment for a 610 millimetre diameter transmission watermain including methodology for crossing the Jock River. The watermain will improve water supply and reliability in the Nepean South development area. Planning and construction of the watermain will be coordinated with the approved widening and realignment of Greenbank Road. The study is carried out in accordance with the requirements of Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class EA.

Mayor Jim Watson said he’s anxious to begin working with the National Capital Commission as an ex-officio member of the board. “I think we (Ottawa and Gatineau mayors) can bring a unique perspective,” he said. “And we can bring the NCC perspective to council. They are not always right and we are not always wrong.” The commission announced on Feb. 29 that the board of directors had voted in favour of having the two mayors – Watson and Gatineau’s Maxime Pedneaud-Jobin – join the board as nonvoting members. The city has been asking for a voice on the commission’s board for a long time, namely because the commission’s decisions have an impact on city planning. Watson said he was pleased the federal Minister of Canadian Heritage Mélanie Joly worked so quickly on the file. Joly recommended the board amend its bylaws to include Watson and Pedneaud-Jobin. “I look forward to attending the first

Mayor Jim Watson board meeting,” he said. “I am delighted with the NCC’s decision to invite the mayors of Ottawa and Gatineau to their board meetings as observers,” Joly wrote in a press release. “In this spirit of openness I intend to ensure that aboriginal people are also

represented on the commission’s board. Our government is committed to raising the bar in terms of openness and transparency, and these decisions are part of an effort to serve the public interest.” The mayors’ participation will be governed by the same code of conduct, confidentiality provisions and conflict of interest rules required of NCC board members. A statement from the commission said the mayors would be present during all board discussions with the exception of certain items, including lawyer-client privilege, human resource or privacy matters and matters concerning the official residences. “The board’s decision today is an opportunity to further deepen the NCC’s relationship with our municipal partners,” said board chairman Russell Mills. “We believe this decision will foster a strategic regional alignment in building Canada’s capital as a dynamic and inspiring source of pride for all Canadians.” The decision could mean the future involvement of other municipalities in the capital region.

Is cat season over yet?

hile many of you are watching for winter to be over, we are eagerly awaiting the end of indoor cat season. We have two cats that are fairly well behaved and allowed to live in the house (much to the Farmer’s chagrin, as he is not a “cat person”.) At the onset of winter, however, two of our barn cats insist on coming in as well. They are brother and sister, both tabby cats – one grey, one brown. Junior (the male) is brave but stand-offish. You can only pet him when he is distracted with food. But at least you can get to him to apply flea drops every three months so your house is safe for the term of his tenancy. Nosey (the female) is extremely shy. She has

DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife never forgiven me for catching her in a large butterfly net that one time. I had to catch her so the Farmer could give her a penicillin shot and I could spray the open wound that she managed to obtain on her cheek. She recovered quite quickly from that injury, I can proudly report. But she no longer trusts me. Every winter these two come inside, and then we have four house cats. For the first few winters they spent most of their time in the basement when we were at home. After we

had been away at work we would find telltale signs that they had been up on the furniture, exploring the kitchen counters, and jumping on the beds. This year, they are bolder than ever. They strut through the living room while we are sitting there watching TV. They jump up on the table to examine what we are eating. And they chase each other at warp speed throughout the house – digging their claws into the hardwood floor on the turns. They sharpen the aforementioned claws on

the leather couch (gasp) and the carpeted stairs. The couch now has deep scratches and the carpet is shredded in spots. I fear the Farmer will not put up with this nonsense much longer. So, now that the days are getting warmer, the terrible twins will get booted outside. They can sleep in the barn at night and remain quite comfortable, after all. They could have been out there all winter without a problem – we have a stray male in the barn right now who burrows deep inside a hay bale. He looks pretty toasty to me. It’s just very difficult to resist a cat who is standing on his hind legs so that he can peer into your living room window, crying to be let in. He sits at the front door and sings. Nosey is silent

but she sits two feet behind Junior, letting him do his thing. When the door opens, they both dart in. Many times the Farmer doesn’t even see them enter. They flash by his legs and under the couch so fast he doesn’t even notice. The cushy lifestyle inside the house is deterring the cats’ re-entry into farm life, for sure. But the other deterrent is the rather large and aggressive tom cat who has taken to visiting the back porch. When he appears, the four cats sit at the patio door and growl. Sheila, the smallest of them all, howls at him. It’s quite an eerie thing to hear. So we may have to wait until he moves along before the cats venture outside again. I’m going through a box of cat litter a week. My house looks like a cat

shelter. The Farmer examines his leather couch and mutters, “damn cats.” I remind him that the couch is starting to sag and we were thinking of getting a new one anyway. For that matter, the carpet on the stairs is rather faded and worn and should soon be replaced as well. Maybe the cats are doing us a favour. Probably not, but I prefer to look at the bright side of things. But seriously. I can’t wait to get these furry beasts out of my house. I just pulled a cat hair out of my mouth. I believe someone has been licking my toothbrush.

Cousins brought with them a special gift to Northcote

hey didn’t need much of an excuse for Aunt Helen and Uncle Herby to ship off my cousins Ronny and Terry to Northcote from Montreal. But rarely did they come in the dead of winter like they did that year. Uncle Herby said measles were raging in the city, and the only way to avoid the boys getting sick from them was to ship them off to Northcote. And so they arrived, and Aunt Helen stayed only long enough to unpack their suitcases and make a trip to Briscoe’s General Store for treats, and then she was back on the train to Montreal. Beds were shifted. And it always amazed me how Mother would make a few changes and any number of relatives could be bedded down. If that meant three to a bed, so be it. Ronny was old enough to go off with us to the

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories Northcote School, but Terry would spend the day at home with Mother. No permission was needed from our teacher Miss Crosby. All Mother had to do was pack an extra sandwich and cookie in a brown paper bag, and send Ronny off. Young Terry was considered delicate, whatever that meant. But it gave him extra privileges, which didn’t sit well with his older and rambunctious brother Ronny. Ronny said it was all an act, and Terry could turn a ‘ sick spell’ off and on like a light switch. Ronny loved going to the Northcote School, and Terry was quite happy at

home with Mother, where he had the run of the house, and especially liked helping Mother in the kitchen, doing little jobs like wiping the windowsills. I vowed we had the cleanest windowsills in all of Renfrew County, as all I had to do was tell Mother I was bored and there was nothing to do, and she would tell me to either get a cloth and wipe the windowsills, or get the ball of string and knit a dishcloth. After they had been with us about two days, and after we had redded up the kitchen after supper, the table was cleared for the usual board games we played until it was time to

alright. There was hardly a square inch that was spared. Mother immediately phoned Mrs. Beam who everyone in Northcote called before getting old Doctor Murphy to come all the way out from Renfrew. Even over the phone, Mrs. Beam was able to confirm what Mother already expected: Terry had the measles and a good dose of them too! It took another day for the spots to show on Ronny, and he wasn’t at all pleased, and to say Father was overjoyed was a gross exaggeration. “Come all the way from Montreal and bringing the measles with them. A fine kettle of fish.” And then, all in perfect order, each one of us got the red spots, one after another. The last one to come down with them was my sister Audrey. She turned out to be the sickest, and was no help to Mother at all, who was trying her best to keep

go to bed. Ronny told Terry he couldn’t play Parcheesi because he couldn’t read and he couldn’t count. Terry started to cry and told Mother he didn’t feel well. Needless to say, Ronny said it was just an act, and Terry did that all the time when things didn’t go his way. Mother took Terry on her lap, and let him look through her scrap books, but nothing seemed to calm him down, and he kept asking “Aunty, itchy me,” which was his way of asking to have his back scratched, which he loved. Mother raised up his pajama top, and let out a yelp that I was sure they could be heard on the next farm. “Dear Mary and Joseph...it’s the measles. He’s covered with them!” We all scrambled from our place at the table to have a look at Terry’s spots. They were there

seven children from killing each other, as we fought for her attention. Well, it didn’t take long to hear that except for Fat Cora and Two Mile Herman, everyone at the Northcote School was felled with the measles. Miss Crosby refused to close the school, and my sister Audrey said we should send Ronny and Terry packing back to Montreal, spots and all. Of course, that didn’t happen, but for a long time after, that winter was referred to “the time those Lapointe kids brought the measles from Montreal, and infected the entire Northcote community.” Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Big changes coming to Ottawa-area McDonald’s restaurants Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Big changes are afoot under the golden arches at 25 Ottawa and Ottawa Valley McDonald’s restaurants, leading to 300 new jobs and customized burgers tailormade to your taste buds. The brand transformation process began rolling out in the region – from Pembroke to Cornwall and east to Casselman and Hawkesbury – over the past month. The new guest experience includes new in-house self-order kiosks where customers can customize their burgers – an experience Mc-

Donald’s says “puts burger lovers in the driver’s seat.” “It’s very much giving the guests the opportunity to personalize their burgers – like they do at home, put a little bit of mustard and a lot of mayo, whatever people choose to do,” Natalie Saulnier, Montrealbased McDonald’s regional vice-president, said during a media tour of a revamped McDonald’s on St. Laurent Boulevard in the Elmvale Acres community. The large computerized tablets, which feature debit or credit payment options, allow customers to tap away at a touchscreen and build a

burger from scratch, choosing from different buns, including a lettuce wrap instead of a bun, five different cheeses to various patty types, and almost 30 condiments – including a range of sauces and toppings such as jalapeno slices and guacamole. They can also personalize their favourite McDonald’s burgers – from Big Macs to quarter pounders. A build-your-own burger, which must be ordered in the restaurant, costs more than traditional burgers already on the menu, with a starting price of $6.99. Some condiments will come with a sur-

charge. “It’s still fantastic value for the quality of the product,” Saulnier said. “Our history is still to offer value, fast service and just a very consistent experience – that doesn’t change.” “If you’re looking for something different, you’ll be able to experience that also.” WORKFORCE

The changes have also led to the creation of 300 jobs – or about 10 to 15 at each restaurant – including three new positions: chefs, guest experience leaders who greet customers at the door, helping them through the hightech ordering service or to

the counter – as well as staff who serve customers their custom-made burgers right to their table. “I think everyone gets very excited with the build-yourown burger, (and) with the kiosks, but it’s more about the overall experience,” said Saulnier. The changes were first introduced in western Canada last fall. Ottawa marks the first leg of the transformation of restaurants in eastern Canada. The plan is to bring the new ‘Restaurant Experience of the Future,’ as it is being billed, to 1,000 locations across the country by the end of 2017, coinciding with McDonald’s Canada’s 50th anniversary, Saulnier said.

The redesign is meant to give customers a more personalized experience. “We personalize our music, we personalize the way we look at TV. Everything we do, I think, we try to find a way to make it our own,” she said. “So I think it was important to us to evolve to that.” Customers can still go up to the front counter to order their favourites. “It’s just a different way to experience McDonald’s,” said Saulnier. Renovations at each restaurant will cost $200,000 to $250,000. - With files from Metroland’s Scarborough Mirror.

How to choose a summer camp Matt Barr

Summer is a great time for kids. They need to get away from the everyday stress of school as much as adults need to get away from their full time jobs. What better way to help kids relax and enjoy their time off than to send them to summer camp? (By the way, this gives parents a nice break too.) Before you make a camp decision for your child, there are a lot of factors to consider. You will want to do your homework before you drop your child off for the day to be cared for by people you hardly know. It’s not easy. There are so many camps to consider and they come in all shapes and sizes. There are day camps, overnight camps, golf camps, horseback riding camps and science camps to name a few. Here are some general considerations:

p m a Join us for our Summer C August 2 to 5, 2016 and August 8 to 12, 2016, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Before and after care starting at 8 a.m. and ending at 5 p.m. Location: Pierre-Elliott Trudeau School, 601 Longfields Drive, Barrhaven For more information or to register, please email us at pirouetterg@rogers.com or visit: www.ottawapirouette.org

No experience necessary - open to children ages 5 and up

Your child›s interests What does your child like to do? Children know what they like and don’t like. Ask them for their input. If your child is active and loves to play sports, a sports camp is probably right for him or her. If your child is creative, then choose a camp that offers arts and crafts. Camp choices are as varied as children themselves. Choose a camp with the specific focus geared toward your child. Day camp versus overnight camp Depending on the age, maturity and independence of your child, he or she may or may not be ready for an overnight camp. Some overnight camps accept children as young as six years old. Only you can decide when the time is right. Convenient location

Location is important because you will have to drop off and pick up your child every day. You’ll want to consider your drive time and also keep in mind the hours of the camp. Cost Of course, the cost is something to consider. The cost of camp should reflect the service provided. When comparing camps by price make sure that you are comparing apples to apples. Some camps include lunches, while others include snacks, t-shirts, hats, extended hours and off site field trips. Price alone, can be misleading. I’ve always believed, “You get what you pay for”. Research With pencil in hand, contact the camps you are considering and ask some specific questions. Not all camps are created equal, so ask the same questions to each camp director and compare their answers. You need to feel comfortable with their answers before you make your choice. This is not an exhaustive list, but here are a few questions to get you started: 1. Who do you hire as counselors? Are they experienced? How old are they? Are they certified in CPR and First Aid? Have they undergone a criminal record check? 2. What are your hours for the camp program? for pre and post camp care? Is there an additional cost for extended hours? 3. What is the ratio of campers to counselors? Ratios of 8:1 are common. A maximum of 10:1 is probably the maximum ratio you would want. 4. Are snacks or a lunch provided? Is the lunch program optional or mandatory? See RESEARCH page 17

2016 Summer Camp Guide

Connected to your community

Research is crucial for camp fun Continued from page 16

5. What do you do on rainy days? Are your facilities air-conditioned? 6. Do the children swim every day? What are your rules for supervision at the pool? Is there a wading pool for young campers? 7. Do you offer any discounts? 8. Can you provide a list of references or testimonials? Word of mouth is the best reference. Ask around and find out where other parents are sending their children. 9. How are different age groups divided? 10. What if my child doesn›t like the camp? Do you offer a guarantee? What is your cancellation policy? 11. Where can I find more information about your camp? Do you have a web-site? Can I register online? Can I pay by credit card?

R0013730607

Summer camp fun

The best way to determine if a particular camp is right for you is to ask a lot of questions. Camp directors are used to answering questions about every detail of camp. If you don›t get the answers you are looking for, keep searching. You need to feel good about your decision. After all, you want your child to have an awesome camp experience that will forge memories to last a lifetime.

Learning to cook at summer camp is another interesting program that can be found after a thorough research of what different camps offer has been done. Your child will be the big winner when you match up theirinterests with what programs camps have to offer.

As a voice for Canadian Camp Owners and Camp Directors, Matt is a frequent guest on radio and television programs across the country discussing the latest trends and issues in summer camps.

A Senate report on obesity did not sugar coat the problem – it is becoming a major Canadian crisis. The standing senate committee on social affairs, science and technology released its report on obesity at the Taggart YMCA in Centretown on March 1. Committee members Senators Kelvin Kenneth Ogilvie and Art Eggleton presented the report, calling on all levels of government to lead Canadians to a leaner future. “We need a national campaign to stop obesity,” Eggleton said. The report highlights 21 recommendations to help promote healthy lifestyles, which include: • updating Canada’s food guide, • banning advertising food and drink to children, • a possible tax on sugar-sweetened beverages. “Obesity is not only leading to poor health for far too many Canadians, but it is also resulting in increased health care costs for all of us,” Eggleton said. “It is paramount that all levels of government come together to create a national campaign to combat obesity.” According to the report, almost two-thirds of Canadian adults are now either overweight or obese and 33 per cent of children are overweight or obese. This, Eggleton said, has direct and indirect health care costs estimated between $4.6 billion and $7.1 billion in this country annually. The report also found that the situation for Canada’s aboriginal population is very concerning. Thirty-five per cent of adults in aboriginal communities are overweight and 35 per cent are obese, while 63 per cent of children under 11 are overweight or obese. The committee said this can be attributed to the lack of safe drinking water, the continually rising cost of perishable foods in Northern and remote communities, and government subsidies for fresh foods under the Nutrition North program that are not working. The committee said the answer is simple – make changes today that can positively impact individuals’ future. “We all have a role to play,” said Ogilvie. Creating and implementing a national strategy, which should include goals, timelines and progress reports, can accomplish positive

change, Ogilvie said. “These measures will make a difference,” he said. SUGAR TAX

The proposed sugar tax on sugar-sweetened and artificially sweetened beverages is not about a new way to make a profit for government funding, Ogilvie said. “The purpose is to get people to think twice,” he said. The senator said the tax could help fund other nutrition programs, and make healthy foods more affordable via food subsidies or the removal or reduction of existing taxes. The recommendation calls for the federal government to conduct a study on the potential sugar tax and report back to the Senate committee at the end of this year. Held at the local YMCA gym, Ogilvie commended the organization for its current efforts in making a difference promoting healthy eating and lifestyle. Rob Adams, associate vice-president of childcare and camp youth engagement said the Centretown Taggart YMCA has made fighting obesity a top priority. Adams said the Y’s children’s programs and services aim to teach its children physical literacy and healthy eating. “It’s about having kids engage in healthy choices on a day-in, dayout basis,” Adams said. Bob Gallagher, president of the YMCA, said the organization has always been in the business of modeling healthy lifestyles for its members. “It’s not about designing only for adults,” Gallagher said. “It’s the impact on the whole family. We are about working with the community.” Adams said that for families or individuals who can not afford a membership, there are options, including the YActive Assist – a fee assistance program which adjusts memberships fees based on what individuals can afford. “We work to break down barriers,” Adams said. Adams said 15 per cent of its Ottawa membership is receiving assistance. When it comes to the recent report, both Adams and Gallagher hope the obesity report will gain public attention. “ It’s about taking small steps,” Gallagher said. “We need to start working with kids today.”

Beef, potato and stout pies a hearty meal Break open the hot flaky puff pastry to find tender braised beef, potato and vegetables in a flavourful beer infused sauce. Preparation Time: 15 minutes Cooking Time: about 1-1/4 hours Baking Time: 30 minutes Serves: 6 Ingredients

• 3 tbsp (45 mL) all-purpose flour • 1 tsp (5 mL) salt • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) pepper • 1 lb (500 g) stewing beef, cut into 1-inch (2. 5 cm) pieces • 3 tbsp (45 mL) vegetable oil • 1 onion, coarsely chopped • 2 carrots, coarsely chopped • 1 potato, peeled and cut into small chunks • 4 oz (125 g) mushrooms, quartered (about 1-1/2 cups/375 mL) • 1 clove garlic, minced • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) each dried thyme and dried rosemary leaves • 2 cups (500 mL) stout beer • 2 tbsp (25 mL) tomato paste • 1 tbsp (15 mL) Worcestershire sauce • 2 tsp (10 mL) brown sugar

• Half (397 g) pkg frozen puff pastry, thawed • 1 Ontario Egg, lightly beaten Preparation instructions

In large bowl, whisk together flour, salt and pepper; add beef and toss to coat. In large deep pot or Dutch oven, heat 1-1/2 tbsp (22 mL) of the oil over medium-high heat; add beef and brown. Transfer to bowl. Add remaining oil to pot and cook onion for 1 minute. Add carrots, potato, mushrooms, garlic, thyme and rosemary; reduce heat to low and cook 3 minutes, stirring often. Add beer, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce and sugar. Return beef to pot and bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Spoon 3/4 cup (175 mL) of beef mixture into six individual 1-cup (250 mL) ovenproof ramekin dishes. Allow stew to cool before adding pastry top.

On lightly floured surface, roll puff pastry to 1/4-inch (5 mm) thick. Cut out 6 circles 1/2-inch (1 cm) larger than the top of the ramekin dishes. Place pastry circles on top of each dish, pushing the excess pastry down inside the ramekin. Cut an x into the top of the crust. Brush pastry tops with beaten egg. Place ramekins on baking sheet. Bake in 400°F (200°C) for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Tip: Prepare pies up to 1 day ahead, cover and refrigerate cooked pies. Reheat in 325°F (160°C) oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until filling is hot. Nutritional information

Ottawans bust out the moves at fitness fundraiser Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Working up a sweat never felt so rewarding. Hundreds of people worked up a sweat for a good cause, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for cancer survivors during the fifth and final Bust a Move Ottawa fitness fundraiser, held this year at the Ottawa Athletic Club on March 5. It generated $301,000, helping to bring the final total raised through Bust a Move to more than $1.5 million. “Everybody has put in so much time and effort and have really dedicated themselves to the cause,” said Jess Palmer, former NFL foot-

ball player and New York Citybased Good Morning America commentator, who served as the event’s celebrity fitness instructor. The much-needed dollars this year will help offset the cost of the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation’s After the Bell pilot program, that is set to launch this coming fall or next winter, which will allow cancer survivors to benefit from a free two-day retreat where they can learn how to transition back to regular life after they get the all-clear from their oncologists. Programs such as After the Bell and the foundation’s unique cancer coaching program, which pairs cancer-care experts with cancer patients and their relatives to help them navigate the daunt-

ing challenges they face following a diagnosis, serve as much-needed resources for the entire family, Palmer said after putting hundreds through their paces at the athletic centre on Lancaster Road. The event drew 200 participants on about 30 teams. Each team member was required to contribute a minimum of $1,000 to join in on the day’s fitness sessions, which ranged from yoga to aerobic workouts and kick-boxing. Palmer not only has a personal connection to Ottawa – he lived for almost two decades in Nepean’s Pineglen community, he has also been touched by cancer. He lost a good friend, former New York Giants linebacker Quincy Monk, to an aggressive form of

the disease last November. Monk was 36. “I went and visited him in North Carolina as he was struggling and going through it,” Palmer recalled. “That’s really when I realized how many people it affected.”

The disease didn’t just impact Monk following his diagnosis, but also his wife and their young children and Monk’s parents and brother. See MUSCLE page 23

“It was just heavy, very emotional for them,” Palmer said, adding that’s where programs offered by foundations come in to provide a holistic approach, helping families cope together. The After the Bell program will fill a gap for men and women trying to get back to their regular lives post-treatment, he added. “I think (cancer) impacts men and women very differently, physically and emotionally,” said Palmer. There may be confidence issues due to physical changes, such as weight and hair loss, caused by cancer treatments, and some survivors might be trying to cope with a change in attitude towards them – something they can seek help with at an After the Bell retreat. They may be seen as more fragile due to their health issues, he said, when they just want to be treated as they were before they became sick. Cancer’s impact on Ottawans is staggering, said Palmer, adding that every two hours someone in Ottawa is diagnosed with cancer, and that there are more than 7,000 new cases here every year. As well, every eight hours a woman living in Ottawa is diagnosed with breast cancer. “You’re not just affecting 7,000 people, you’re affecting 7000 people plus their circle,” Palmer said of the need for specialized care programs. “So it’s a lot.” For more information on programs provided by the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation, go to ottawacancer.ca.

The Annual Ride for Her took place over the weekend with a great turnout of snowmobilers to support the ride to raise funds for Ovarian Cancer. They started out at the Red Dot in Osgoode with breakfast and ended at Rideau Carleton Raceway for the luncheon and Award Presentation. All in all a great time! Thank you to all the organizers. The Greely Lions volunteered their services at the annual blood donor clinic held at the Greely Community Centre. It was a busy night with many generous donors dropping in. It’s always great to be a part of such a giving community. NAV Canada celebrated Women in Aviation for International Women’s Day by setting a Guinness World Record for the most pink paper airplanes folded in 15 minutes. There were 638 perfect airplanes made by employees here in Ottawa who took the challenge on. It was certainly a honour to be one of the officials for this event. Way to go NAV Canada Ottawa! The 89th Ottawa Valley Farm show was at capacity for exhibitors again this year. There were 350 various exhibits to view and purchase items from and no shortage of live events going on too. It’s always exciting to see what is new at this showcase of farming equipment! It seems the tires get bigger and bigger every year! The 4-H and quilt show displays, barn wood art, prize winning seeds were just some of the attractions to see. This not-forprofit show remains agricultural based. It is organized for farmers, by farmers and much of the proceeds go back into supporting the farm community such as 4-H, local fair boards and other agricultural organizations. Always a worthwhile show to visit! The Greely Community Association held their monthly meeting last night with City Officials and myself answering questions concerning Greely Loop, Shadow Ridge2 communal wells, newly proposed housing development application off Old Prescott, proposed storm sewer fees, road re-alignment for Parkway/Apple Orchard, traffic lights at Mitch Owens and Manotick Station Road and finally my newly launched petition against unfair hydro fees. The meeting was full of interesting and valid comments. To end the evening, Bruce Brayman was given a framed photo of him receiving the City Builders Award from the Mayor in February. My Open Door Tuesday is always a great chance to meet new people. This week I met and chatted with a lady that dropped by to share a story about her niece who designed our 2017 logo! We were able to put together a small package to bring to her niece as a personal token of appreciation for a great job! The rest of the afternoon had others dropping in with small concerns that we chatted about. Always great to help out where I can. Please continue to drop by from 1-5pm each Tuesday afternoon in my Metcalfe Ward Office. I look forward to seeing you!

City to adopt policy to encourage purchase of green fleet of vehicles Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

All city departments will be encouraged to go green when buying new vehicles thanks to a motion by Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury introduced at transportation committee on March 2. The motion essentially means that any new vehicle purchased will be either hybrid, or electric, unless there are operational requirements that prohibit that. In that case, the depart-

ments will have to report back to council on why they didn’t go with an ecofriendly option. The cost difference for a hybrid or electric vehicle over the traditional choice would come from the green fleet fund – which is $500,000 annually. Committee chair Keith Egli expressed concern that the policy change may exhaust the fund, and impair the city’s ability to replace vehicles. But public works manager Kevin Wylie said the green fleet fund would only be used to cover the

incremental cost difference, and the city would replace vehicles under the regular budget. Fleury said the move was in line with the city’s updated climate change action plan. “Right now there’s nothing to mandate staff to purchase vehicles of equal value on the green front,” he said. Couns. David Chernushenko and Stephen Blais cautioned staff should be skeptical about vendors’ claims and use examples from other municipalities.

Blais said the hybrid buses the city purchased in 2012 failed to meet the city’s projections for cost recovery. The projected cost savings didn’t take into account the distances Ottawa buses travel and the highway driving. Chernushenko said there’s value in increasing the transparency about the decisions to purchase – or not purchase green vehicles. If council approves the motion it would be the standard for vehicle purchases for 2017 and 2018.

City departments are being encouraged to think green when buying new vehicles. Capital Coun. David Chernushenko says there is value in boosting transparency around the decisions to purchase city vehicles, including eco-friendly options.

United Way inspired by 2015 community builders Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The United Way celebrated the city’s volunteers on March 2. The Ottawa chapter adding 32 names to the Wall of Inspiration that sits in Jean Pigott Hall at city hall. Among those added were former police chief Larry Hill, who was recognized for his volunteerism with the Britannia Woods Community House, Michele Heights Youth Drop in and other groups. Mayor Jim Watson, who has been part of the organization’s recognition committee, said visiting the volunteers to give them the news is like Publishers Clearing House – without the cash. “There are people from all walks of life working to make the community a better place to live,” Watson said. Tim Sheahan, a Barrhaven resident who is the vice-president of operations for the Bell Warriors Football club, said that the team came out to a practice to give him the good news. Sheahan said his coaching career began 10 years ago, when his

youngest was in the Tyke (nine to 10 year olds) program. Now his oldest son goes to Bishop University in Quebec, where he plays for the Gators. “You’re a Warrior for life,” Sheahan said, adding players are taught about a lot more than football. Jane Bachynski, who is a board member for the Boys and Girls Club and a long-time volunteer for the United Way, was named volunteer of the year. Bachynski said volunteers are necessary to build strong communities. Joseph Cull has spent more than a decade volunteering at the YM/YWCA as a seniors fitness instructor and as an organizer of the popular “Just Dance!” event in support of the YM/YWCA’s Strong Kids Campaign. He also lends his time and energy to the “Slice ‘N Dice” annual fundraiser for the Hospice at Maycourt, the Cornerstone Housing for Women annual charity event, and many other causes in our community. Cull said it’s all about putting the “neighbour back in

people whose names have been added to the wall since its inception in 2000. In additional to the ceremony

on March 2, the United Way will host a Community Builder of the Year Awards gala at the Shaw Centre on June 2.

UFC coming to Ottawa Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The city’s sports commissioner, Innes Ward Coun. Jody Mitic, is stoked about the announcement that Ottawa will host its first UFC fight on June 18. As to where the fight will take place, he won’t tell you. “We don’t know yet,” Mitic said. “But it’s probably going to be Lansdowne or the Canadian Tire Centre. Ultimate Fighting Championship president Dana White confirmed the news on March 4. Mitic said he’s been working to bring the sport to the capital since taking on the role of as the city’s sports commissioner. As the 2016 Tim Hortons Brier national curling championship started in the city, Mitic said his two priorities were UFC and curling, in response to requests from residents.

Mitic said on his first day in office, he emailed Tom Wright with UFC Canada to put the capital on the radar. June 18 will mark the 20th UFC event in Canada. Mitic said the UFC has a great practice of promoting the city where an event is being held. While he didn’t have the exact numbers on hand, Mitic said, there’s millions of dollars to be realized in restaurants and hotel stays. Ottawa has a pretty strong UFC community, Mitic said, adding the Ottawa Martial Arts Academy has a mixed martial arts league. UFC president Dana White confirmed the welterweight fight between Canadian Rory MacDonald and American Stephen Thompson during a press conference in Las Vegas. The fight will be at a venue that is yet to be announced.
