Ready for battle Lord Darnley, otherwise known as Perth resident Terry Stewart, participates in the five-kilometre route of the St. Patrick’s Day Run on March 19. Hundreds of people participated in the 10-km, 5-km and handcycle runs, which went from Pretoria Bridge, down Colonel By Drive to Hog’s Back Falls and back.

Blue Line and Capital Taxi launch a new mobile application Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

Ottawa residents in need of transportation in a hurry now have a new app for that.

Blue Line Taxi and Capital Taxi have partnered with eCab, a French company, to offer customers a mobile app to connect customers with taxis in a matter of minutes.

The app became available on March 24 in the city, and is currently already in Toronto and Vancouver as well as 36 countries around the world. According to eCab’s Gilles Gomis, the smartphone application can connect people with the nearest cab, estimate costs for a taxi trip or book a cab for future need. It also offers custom-

ers the chance to rate a driver. The taxi app mirrors another driving app available in Ottawa, Uber Ottawa, which connects customers with individually-owned and operated drivers for trips in the city. Since its introduction in Ottawa two years ago, there has been a battle between licensed taxi drivers in the city and drivers who

work for Uber.

With below market costs for a ride through Uber, local taxi drivers have complained that they are losing customers. Hanif Patni, president of Coventry Connections, which operates both Blue Line and Capital Taxi, said this new mobile app isn’t about offering customers the same thing as Uber – a

taxi at the tip of their fingers – the eCab option is a safer, authorized and licensed option. The main concern with Uber, Patnif said is that the cars are not always new, or in good, reliable order; there is no police checks, or licensing from the city and ultimately, taxi drivers feel it is not a proper operation.

This new application

changes that for licensed taxis in the city, Patnif said.

“We can beat them on our standards. And we can beat them on our speed,” Patni said. The application is a free download on both Apple and Android devices, and will adapt in every city to automatically link customers with local cab companies.

Local MPP launches Girls in Government and Leadership program Continued from front

Kars on the Rideau Public School and Manordale Public School in Nepean are the first two schools to launch the new program.

“As politicians we have an obligation to empower more

women to get into leadership roles,” said MacLeod in a recent interview with the Manotick News.

“This (program) will be a day effectively empowering those young women.”

Kars on the Rideau Public School will host the program

on Friday, April 1, welcoming MacLeod and four other guest speakers for a day of workshops.

Guest speakers attending the April 1 program include: Carol Anne Meehan, a local media personality with 25 years of experience; Jan

“We want to show them that they can reach their potential and know there are role models in their community who can help them along their path,” MacLeod said.

MacLeod said she was inspired to start the Girls in Government and Leadership program because she feels it is important for young women to know they can accomplish anything they strive for.

MacLeod is hoping to bring the program to five or six other local schools.

Rural residents divided over photo radar technology those in opposition to photo radar focus on two main arguments. The first is that fining the owner of the vehicle, and not the driver, may not be the right approach when it comes to preventing speeding.

The second stems from the fact that photo radar could allow municipalities the ability to collect more revenue in fines than it costs to administer the program – creating a “cash cow” or

Rural residents appear to be in agreement that speeding is an issue within their communities, but differ in opinion on whether or not photo radar is the solution.

On Wednesday, March 23, city council discussed a motion brought forward by Coun. Riley Brockington to request that the Province of Ontario allow municipalities the option to use photo radar on local streets. It was ultimately referred to the May 4 Transportation Committee meeting. Still, there seems to be disagreement on whether the technology would be a good fit for rural communities.

Photo radar is a technology that captures an image of any vehicle exceeding the speed limit, nailing the owner of the vehicle with a mailed ticket soon after. It was introduced in Ontario in 1994, but was soon discontinued less than one year

Beltzner, who himself said he would support the use of photo radar within Manotick, said he thinks the technology would help to keep roads safe for everyone: drivers, cyclists and pedestrians.

“My feeling is that everyone who exceeds the posted speed limit should be ticketed,” he said.

Rural residents in Manotick, Osgoode and Greely appear to be divided on whether or not photo radar technology is suitable for local communities.

In five years there won’t be a doggy in the window Week In Review

Committee votes in favour of forcing pet stores to move to adoption model Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

On Saturday morning I was with the Easter Bunny for breakfast, hosted by Metcalfe Co op Nursery and Rural Family Connections. Thank you to the Metcalfe Firefighters for grilling and serving up breakfast. It was great to see MP Pierre Poilievre and Mayor Jim Watson there along with Metcalfe Street Meet & Greet out supporting the community. Afterwards I went to the St Patrick’s parade from City Hall to Lansdowne. I think it’s safe to say I was pretty ‘Greened’ up and even earned the nickname O’Darouze. It was so nice to be on the City float and see so many people enjoying a festive day.

On Sunday, I hosted an Easter Bunny visit at the Osgoode Care Centre which was a hopping great time! I was so touched to see the enjoyment of all the residents having their pictures taken with the Easter Bunny. Thank you to all the staff, my Ward staff and all the other great volunteers that came to help out.

The city’s protective services committee voted in favour of a policy that will see all pet stores in the city move to an adoption model over the next five years.

The March 21 meeting was in response to a review of the city’s pet shop bylaw. The review was released March 14 and didn’t recommend an out and out ban.

Staff had recommended allowing the three pet stores in the city that currently sell commercially bred dogs, cats and rabbits to continue selling them.

Anthony Di Monte, acting general manager of emergency and protective services, said the solution staff proposed wasn’t grandfathering the three stores as some claimed.

“This is not about maintaining the status quo,” he said, adding the owners would be required to prove that the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty for Animals approved the facility of origin for the ani-

Animal activist groups, including the International Humane Society, Puppy Mill Awareness Working Solutions, the Social Petwork and a local veterinarian packed the meeting, calling for a ban on the sale of “bred for profit” animals.

Delegations were concerned about the source of the animals, saying they could be coming from puppy mills.

Bruce Roney, executive director of the Humane Society, said while there’s no empirical evidence to suggest that any dogs in the pet stores that currently buy from commercial breeders come from puppy

mills, the staff report falls short of finding the true source of the animals.

Roney said with the planned inspections of the breeder’s facilities, which the owners would know in advance, there’s no way to know if a pup arrived the day before.

See BAN, page 10

On Tuesday, I was up at the crack of dawn to deliver a special surprise to our incredible snow plow drivers. These front line workers deserve a huge thank you for doing such an amazing job this year and every year. It’s important to me that each year I go out and bring some hot Tim Horton’s coffee and donuts to these great and dedicated workers.

Tuesday’s drop in was another great success! Every week I look forward to meeting with residents to discuss issues, answer questions and even just to have a chat. Every Tuesday from 1:00 – 5:00 p.m. my doors are open at my Metcalfe Office for drop in’s with residents. If you haven’t made it out yet, I look forward to welcoming you to my office sometime.

I also had the pleasure to join some incredible volunteers to deliver Meals on Wheels in our community. It brings me so much joy to see the passion and compassion that these volunteers have with their clients. I am so humbled by the amazing people we have that dedicate their days to providing this service to those in need and to be a part of this experience. Without Rural Ottawa South Support Services this wouldn’t be possible and I extend my sincerest gratitude for all the work they do!

Park honouring Canadian veterans to open in Manotick July 2017 Kelly Kent

kkent@metroland.com

Manotick will soon have a new place to commemorate the veterans of Canada.

Remembrance Park, a project spearheaded by Branch 314 of the Royal Canadian Legion for South Carleton (Manotick), is meant to be “a place for all citizens to enjoy and remember with gratitude the contributions made by those who have served their country in wars and peacekeeping missions.” It is slated to be opened in July of 2017, just in time for Canada’s 150th birthday celebrations.

Ted Ross, chair of the Remembrance Park organizing committee, said the park has been in the works for two years and is beginning to move forward now that they’ve received approval from the City of Ottawa.

In 2005, Ross and a group of other residents lobbied for the city to purchase Watson’s Mill, Dickinson Square and two properties in the surrounding area –

including the land between the Manotick Cenotaph and Bridge Street. Now, that land will be transformed into park space honouring Canada’s veterans.

“The legion has always wanted to put something there to commemorate veterans,” Ross said.

An ad hoc community group has been working for the last two years to make their vision a reality. The concept plan for the park has now been completed and the legion is working on obtaining funding.

The completed park will be a green space for everyone to enjoy, Ross said. It will feature an interlocking pathway connecting to Veteran’s Way and winding around the Cenotaph. The park will be accessible for people with mobility restrictions and will have a raised garden.

Five additional gardens will fill the property, each with a plaque highlighting the branches of the Canadian Armed Forces.

In the future, Ross said the committee has hopes

Branch 314 of the Royal Canadian Legion for South Carleton (Manotick) has taken the lead on a project to honour Canadian veterans. Remembrance Park, to be created in the lands between the Manotick Cenotaph and Bridge Street, is slated to open July 2017. The park is meant to be “a place for all citizens to enjoy and remember with gratitude the contributions made by those who have served their country in wars and peacekeeping missions.” to install a bronze statue of a legionnaire in uniform close to the pathway who appears to be walking with his granddaughter. This, he said, would help to embody the purpose of the park: to create a legacy of Canada’s veterans for future generations.

The Remembrance Park

organizing committee is working with the city’s parks and recreation department on the development of the space.

Currently, the committee is working on obtaining funding to get the ball rolling on creating the park.

They’ve already received a $50,000 donation from de-

veloper Joe Princiotta, but they’re applying for grants to help offset the costs as well.

Ross said the committee has applied for a Community Partnership Major Capital Program Grant, which could fund up to 50 per cent of the park’s costs if successful. Word on approval is expected this fall.

Additionally, the legion is accepting donations from private parties who wish to contribute to the project.

Ross said the city will provide income tax receipts for

donors who help to support the project. Those interested in making a contribution can visit the Manotick Legion website at www.rcl314. ncf.ca/remembrancepark.

The legion has created a “Donate today” button at the bottom of the page.

If the committee is successful in its grant applications, Ross said he hopes to see work to begin on the park before the snow flies next season. The park should be ready to unveil in early July of 2017.

Lucy and Linda the closet eater

O

n Thursday morning the Farmer pointed out the kitchen window toward the thorn bushes lining the stone fence.

“Do you see that cow?

She’s hiding from the heifer.” No, I did not see the cow. She was that good at this game. Then I saw the bushes move. Not a very comfortable place to hide, I’m sure. But the pregnant cow was anxious to get away from her year-old calf, who was nearly big as her but still suckling.

“That cow is going to calve today,” the Farmer declared. Sure enough, when I got home from work the light was on in the horse stable-turned-newborncentre. The calf was big and healthy but the cow did not appear happy. She was bawling to be let out, probably because spring

DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife is in the air. She can smell the earth and wants to go for a wander through the meadow. But first she had a calf to feed.

The cow was nice enough to let the Farmer steal some colostrum, and this he fed to the new calf with a syringe because she didn’t seem to be interested in her mother’s udder.

There was a lot of sidling up and nuzzling for comfort but no apparent feeding.

The Farmer also gave an injection of Selenium with Vitamin E, as our soil is deficient in this part of Eastern Ontario. That shot

usually gets them up and suckling. Not in this case.

And yet, the calf remained strong. The next day, we struggled to feed her with a bottle. She stood for us, then bucked and bronced her way out of our grasp. When we put the bottle in her mouth she didn’t suck. She just chomped and spit and drooled, wasting the milk. It was so weird.

The calf peed and had bowel movements, so we knew she got something, but from where?

“She must be suckling from her mother when we aren’t looking,” reasoned

the Farmer. “But it’s really strange that she doesn’t have a sucking reflex on the bottle.”

I offered my expert opinion. “Maybe she hates the taste and feel of the bottle.

And the milk replacer.”

When the calf was 48 hours old I went to the barn again, early morning. The calf stood to greet me, or to prepare an exit.

She circled her mother and even sniffed under her at the udder but never latched on. When the Farmer went out a few hours later he couldn’t catch her suckling either. He went out again after dark and snuck in quietly. The calf was under the mother. No feeding was happening.

The calf is now three days old and we have yet to see it eat. It’s the weirdest thing. I think we will have to keep it inside until we witness a feeding – although

if the calf is strong enough to get up and walk around – it even bounced across the stall today – then it’s safe to assume it’s getting something.

Mysteries on the farm.

That’s four down, eight to go. So far, so good. All calves born are strong and healthy. And eating. As far as we know.

Ginger is about the size of a Mack truck so I assume she will be going next.

She followed me around the barnyard today until I gave her the apple in my hand.

She’s come a long way from the suspicious Hereford who tried to kill the Farmer when he tried to milk her once.

She will eat right out of my hand now. The other day she was lying on a sunny pile of hay beside the feeder and let me pet her for about ten minutes. In previous years she would let me

get within five feet of her, then bounce up and away.

Our three little calves that are already outside spend sunny afternoons curled up beside or inside the hay feeder.

I sat beside the red one and put his sleepy head in my lap. He stayed there a few minutes until a bird call woke him up. Imagine his surprise to see he was sleeping on me. He jumped straight up in the air and took off bawling for his mother.

Spring is here and the animals are so happy they can walk the well-beaten path over the rocky terrain to the meadow.

They pick the highest, driest and sunniest spot for their afternoon naps.

Dan River Cotton had the power to change moods

T

he snow had all but gone from the fields, and our long lane was down to mud ruts showing the many trips to the Northcote side road by the sleigh and cutter over the winter.

When we walked the lane on the way to school, we arrived with our gum rubbers covered with mud, and Miss Crosby made us leave them out on the step until they dried off, and at recess, the mud was scraped away with a twig from the big maple tree in the yard.

The days still had a bite in the air, and until it really warmed up, you couldn’t smell spring.

I loved the smell of spring, which my sister Audrey insisted smelled like any other time of the year.

It was this time now, that Mother seemed to build up an energy, and it was like she was waiting for some-

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories thing important to happen.

Winter wasn’t her favourite time of the year, when the snow piled up around us, locking us into months of ice and cold that seemed to go on forever.

And so with the first sign that winter was coming to an end, Mother had a restlessness about her, as if she couldn’t wait to see the first robin, or get her little boxes of vegetable seeds planted, or get into the spring housecleaning.

That Saturday, there wasn’t enough snow to take the cutter into Renfrew, and so Father hitched up the buggy, and Mother

set off early to peddle her eggs, butter, a few chickens, and of course her sticky buns. Audrey and I were left to do our chores and put dinner on the table when Father and the three brothers came in at noon hour.

It was mid-afternoon before we saw Mother coming down the lane, with Nellie at an even trot.

Stopping at the back door, and with what I thought was a real spring to her step, Mother brought in the supplies she had bought with the money realized from her sales in Renfrew.

And there was a bag, which I recognized immediately having come from Walker’s Store.

I was curious beyond measure to know what was in the bag, but of course, Audrey and I were ordered to unpack the tea, the sugar and the other few staples bought to replenish what was in the back-tothe-wall cupboard.

The Walker Store bag sat on the kitchen table.

Mother pulled the kettle to the front of the stove and when it started to steam, she made herself a cup of tea and sat down placing her hand on the mysterious bag.

I was sure she was wearing what would pass for a smile.

Finally, when I thought I would have to grab the Walker’s Store bag and rip into it myself, Mother opened it up, and there was a folded piece of Dan

16 NEW THINGS AT

River cotton … checks in pinks, mauve and the palest blue.

I could smell its newness all the way from the other end of the table.

How I loved the smell of new material!

I wondered what plans Mother had for it. New blouses for Audrey and me? A house dress for herself ? She had just made fresh flower bag curtains for the kitchen, so the new Dan River material wasn’t for that.

And it was much too pretty for just plain aprons.

“Nineteen cents a yard... a bit pricey I thought. But well worth it,” Mother said, still rubbing her hands back and forth over the material.

I finally asked her what purpose she had in mind for it.

“Don’t really know,” she said, looking out the window into the grape arbour.

She said nothing for the longest time.

“I don’t think there is anything quite like a new piece of Dan River cotton this time of year.

It sort of puts an end to the winter, I think.”

It amazed me how just spending less than a dollar on a piece of material could change my mother from a feeling of restlessness to such a feeling of sheer joy.

All over a simple piece of Dan River Cotton print.

It wasn›t the first time a new piece of material changed Mother›s mood ... nor would it be the last.

Federal budget good news for Ottawa

T

he new federal budget may be awash in red ink, but the federal Liberals did exactly what they promised they would, pouring money in the coming years into infrastructure and transit systems that have been on the wish list for municipalities for years, including here in Ottawa.

As Liberal Orléans MP Andrew Leslie says, the budget is good for light rail transit development in Ottawa.

The budget allocates $3.4 billion to public transit infrastructure over the next three years through a new Public Transit Infrastructure Fund, and listed accelerated design for new light rail transit lines in greater Vancouver and Ottawa as examples of projects that might see money from the new fund.

This is music to the ears of Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson and those sitting around the council table in Ottawa who hope to not only go forward with their grandiose plans for LRT in the nation’s capital, but hope to make some of the future phases of the massive multi-billion dollar project move forward at a faster pace.

In fact, Leslie thinks fast tracking extensions of LRT to Trim Road and the airport, and beyond may be something that is now possible.

“Mayor Jim Watson is doing a great job at articulating that these phase two pluses should be looked at as the same sort of package,” Leslie told Metroland Media after the budget was presented in the House of Commons last week.

“So we have to get it from Blair to Place d’Orléans, then to Trim, but my intention is don’t stop. Don’t go to Place d’Orléans and say, ‘Oh, we’re done.’ Keep going.

And the same thing with the airport extension. Don’t stop, just keep going.”

“Keep going” sounds good, although exactly how much of the public transit infrastructure fund that the City of Ottawa will eventually get its hands on will have to be determined in the future as Ottawa will be competing with numerous other cities in Canada seeking that cash.

But for now, Ottawa’s LRT plans seem to have been given a greenlight to speed up in the coming years.

Lessons to be learned from Ford Nation

B

y now you’ve had your fill of commentary on the late Toronto mayor, Rob Ford. As always, when a famous person dies, there is a tendency to sugarcoat and sentimentalize. Mortal enemies of the deceased praise his good qualities and you don’t believe them for a minute.

So it was with Ford, but that’s the way it usually is. The old expression is “don’t speak ill of the dead”, and, for most of us, it doesn’t feel comfortable to do otherwise.

But what is Rob Ford’s real legacy? He will not go down in history as a great mayor, although some admired his conservative ideas. Personally, he was a mess, a guy who struggled with drugs and alcohol, and attracted either

Sound familiar? Sure. It’s Donald Trump. The fact that Trump has the same kind of appeal shows the durability of the sentiments that elected Rob Ford and also the folly of underestimating people like him. Because that was one of the first things that happened when Ford emerged as a politician.

The elites — political, media and intellectual — dismissed him as a clown. They couldn’t understand how anyone could vote for such a person. But people could, and one of the reasons they could was because they had come to resent elite opinion. When the elites sneered at Rob Ford, the people who liked him felt sneered at too. Voting for Rob Ford was an act of revenge.

The Toronto establishment tut-tutted that he was hurting the city’s image, a rather misplaced concern. In fact, it didn’t do Ford’s cause one bit of harm to have establishment tastemakers attack him. That was just more proof that he was standing up for the little guy against the elites.

You can see that happening with Trump too.

In a smaller way, you could see it in the success of Larry O’Brien when he ran for mayor of Ottawa on a simplistic platform of freezing taxes and cutting red tape.

Underestimating such politicians didn’t work, doesn’t work.

Taking their supporters seriously does. Most of us think we have it pretty good here, and we do, compared with the rest of the world. But that doesn’t mean that everybody is happy.

There is another day in Ottawa residents can mark on their calendars where they can help make a global difference.

On March 22, Mayor Jim Watson proclaimed that it was World Water Day in Ottawa, raising a flag above city

hall.

World Water Day is a United Nations recognized day to bring attention to the more than 650 million people globally who lack access to this basic right and is held internationally on March 22.

Locally, WaterAid works to help bring attention to the needs of safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene

projects in 37 countries worldwide. Chief operating officer of WaterAid Canada Nicole Hurtubise thanked Watson for proclaiming the day as a day to recognize the need and have Ottawans help make a difference.

“We work hard to address this and we would like to thank you for your support,” she said.

Ban won’t stand up to legal challenge: Coun.

Continued from page 4

“The breeder could just be a warehouse for the puppies before they move to the pet shop,” he said.

Karen Greenberg, owner of Little Critters at the Billings Bridge Shopping Centre, and Michael Haynes, who owns Pet World at

Greenberg said Little Critters can’t accommodate the bigger animals from the Ottawa Humane Society in the mall storefront, and the society doesn’t have enough baby animals to deal with demand.

Without the ability to sell from breeders, she won’t be able to compete with big American chains.

the Carlingwood and St. Laurent shopping centres, tried to make their case, but for the most part it fell on deaf ears.

Greenberg said puppy and kitten sales make up 20 per cent of the store’s business.

“Without that we may have to close our doors,” she said.

of the room.”

Chiarelli said even though the committee heard some heartwrenching stories, no one has shown that any animal purchased at Pet World or Little Critters came from a puppy mill.

Valerie Bietlot, legal counsel for the city, said because the staff recommendation included mitigation measures for the three stores that currently sell animals, and there is no clear evidence those animals come from a puppy mill, there’s a risk.

But Di Monte said other jurisdictions have enacted a ban and so far they have not been challenged.

Leiper’s motion failed, with seven members voting against it.

Bay Coun. Mark Taylor, moved for a ban after a five-year transition period thanks to committee member Coun. Mathieu Fleury.

Leiper called Taylor’s plan a “Goldilocks motion.”

“It’s a change, but not too soon,” he said.

Taylor said that while there’s no concrete evidence commercial breeders create a demand for puppy mills or that dogs and cats from pet stores are more likely to be an impulse purchase, that shouldn’t stop council from forcing a move to more “ethical practices.”

The committee’s approval is a first step in the process. Council will have the final say on the proposed change to the pet store bylaw.

She said her store has been using the same breeders for nearly 20 years, but declined to give their names in the open committee meeting, citing privacy concerns.

Haynes said the changes could impact his ability to retire, and that there’s no correlation between pets purchased at pet stores and animals ending up at shelters.

But Taylor Griffin, who worked at Pet World during her schooling as a veterinary technician, said she wouldn’t buy from a store after working at Pet World.

Griffin said animals could spend as many as 12 hours in isolation. She said cages were cleaned with rags stained with fecal matter and staff were encouraged to keep water levels low, otherwise the puppies would spill the water and cages would have to be cleaned more frequently.

The committee’s final decision was a compromise between two motions.

Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper attempted a motion, moved by College Coun. Rick Chiarelli - who is actually on the committee - that would have implemented an immediate ban on the sale of commercially bred dogs, cats and rabbits.

Chiarelli opted to sponsor the motion only to vote against it. He said the ban wouldn’t stand up to a legal challenge.

Jumpin’ and Jivin’ for WDMH Gala returns May 14

Submitted

After a five-year hiatus, the 10th anniversary of the Jumpin’ and Jivin’ for WDMH Gala will return May 14.

Featuring music from Toronto band Johnny and the Cruizers, the gala is sure to be a hit with its ’50s theme.

kkent@metroland.com

The Winchester District Memorial Hospital (WDMH) is going back in

time this spring for their ’50s themed gala to raise money for priority needs.

Back after a five-year hiatus, the Jumpin’ and Jivin’ for WDMH Gala is celebrat-

ing its 10th anniversary on Saturday, May 14. Guests can expect an old fashioned good time as they dance to the music of Toronto band Johnny and the Cruizers, said Kristen Casselman, managing director of the hospital foundation.

The last WDMH Gala was held in 2011, falling out of regular rotation for a few years before Casselman revived it this year. “This is the only signature event we’re hosting this year,” she said of the gala.

For years, the WDMH Gala was a key fundraiser for the hospital, raising money to fund its highest priority needs. Casselman said that the first nine gala events have raised more than $700,000 to help offset the costs of hospital operations not covered though regular government funding, such as the purchasing of equipment. Over the years, WDMH has purchased vital equipment like wheelchairs, blood pressure monitors,

stretchers and beds with these funds.

This year’s 10th anniversary gala will be bigger and better than ever before. For starters, this year’s event will feature a dance floor for a night of dancing not included in previous events.

In addition to an evening of dancing, ticketholders will be treated to a fully catered dinner provided by

Tickets can be purchased by calling 613-774-2422, extension 6162. Of course, with a 1950s theme, Casselman said the event will be an evening to remember. Guests are encouraged to dress the part in their best ’50s themed outfits.

“It should be a fun night,” Casselman said. “The band is sure to get everyone up and moving.”

Winchelsea Events, a silent auction and a 50/50 draw.

The event’s presenting sponsor is Cloverdale Links Golf Course.

Tickets are $130 per person and are on sale now.

Doors to the event open at 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 14 at the Winchester Community Centre. Casselman said to get tickets early as they traditionally sell quickly.

City’s public Wi-Fi runs hot and cold Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Rick Chiarelli, who chairs the city’s information technology sub-committee said he’s “not surprised” to hear residents are complaining about difficulty connecting with the public Wi-Fi at the city’s recreation facilities.

“I have had one or two complaints about it,” he

said.

Free public Wi-Fi is available at 26 city facilities thanks to a partnership agreement between the city and a Kanata-based firm called IceNet Wireless, which is a division of EION Inc. The agreement was inked in December 2013 and runs until June 2019.

Aside from getting the

service for free, the city also gets a piece of the advertising revenue – which is $63,000 annually and $315,000 over the course of the five-year deal.

The agreement is part of the city’s community champions program, an initiative that invites businesses, community organizations, foundations and individuals to sponsor facilities, programs,

services and community initiatives in return for a variety of marketing and promotional opportunities.

Other businesses to partner with the city under the community champions umbrella are: • Coca Cola – which provides beverages to the city’s summer camp program, and “neighbourhoods in need,” • Minto – which partnered with the city to build the Minto Recreation Complex in Barrhaven, and • Richcraft, which helped to build the Richcraft Recreation Complex in Kanata.

A test by Metroland Media at a few of the city’s facilities showed Wi-Fi was accessible about two-thirds of the time.

Dan Chenier, general manager of parks and recreation, said based on the usage reports provided to the city, the average number of unique monthly users at the 26 facilities is 49,500.

Chenier said if IceNet receives a call about an outage, they determine the course of

action required and ensure the system is available.

There have been less than 50 service requests annually, he said.

But there are no definitive numbers on the types of calls. “The city receives periodic reporting from the service provider on the nature of service calls. but there are no definitive numbers provided as they relate to the type of calls (how to connect, lack of service, compliments),” Chenier wrote in an email.IceNet didn’t return multiple requests for comment on the service they provide at city facilities or calls to fix problems.

Coun. Jeff Leiper, who is the vice-chair of the subcommittee, said there may well be issues, but it’s not something he’s been made aware of. “In Kitchissippi, we have it in a few facilities, and nothing’s come to my attention with respect to problems,” he wrote in an email. The contract with IceNet is intended to provide public Wi-Fi at:

Notice of Completion of Transit Project Assessment Process Confederation Line East Light Rail Transit Extension

The City of Ottawa has completed an Environmental Project Report in accordance with Ontario Regulation 231/08 for the Confederation Line East Light Rail Transit Extension Planning and Environmental Assessment study.

The Project The City of Ottawa has developed a plan to extend and expand the City’s existing Light Rail Transit Network.

Specifically the plan includes extending the future Confederation Line further east from Blair Station to an interim terminal at Place d’Orléans station and, ultimately, to Trim Road (see Ottawa.ca/easternlrt or Ottawa.ca/tlrest for further information).

The plan includes options to service the community of Orleans and adjacent lands. New stations will be located at Montreal Road, Jeanne d’Arc Boulevard, Orléans Boulevard and the terminal station at Place d’Orléans. Additional stations will ultimately be constructed at Brisebois Crescent/Mockingbird Drive (Orleans Town Centre), east of Tenth Line Road and the terminus of the line at Trim Road. Preliminary engineering review has resulted in design refinements to the alignment between Blair Station and Montreal Road Station. These changes have no additional environmental impact, reduce implementation costs, and have been incorporated into the Environmental Project Report.

Come enjoy the sweetest time of the year Submitted

The Lanark and District Maple Producers Association will be hosting the 2nd Annual Maple Weekend on April 2 and 3, 2016, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.. Last year, hundreds of people took the opportunity to drive out to a local sugar bush and join the fun at a local sugar house. Local sugar producers are planning to make this year’s event even bigger and better.

Local maple syrup producer Dave Fairbairn, who chairs the Maple Weekend organizing committee, says

that “Maple Weekend is a great opportunity for people to come out and see firsthand how a maple syrup operation works. It is an opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the fine art of syrup production, directly from the producer.”

Sugar makers invite you to experience the centuriesold craft of maple sugaring.

Come and talk to the producers in your area and they will be happy to explain how their operation works. Many will be offering free samples of fresh syrup, as well as maple candies and confections.

Come and enjoy pancake

breakfasts, sugarbush trails, sugar making demonstrations, taffy on snow, horsedrawn sleigh rides, and more.

Interested visitors can check the maple syrup producer map page at www. mapleweekend.ca for more details. The website makes it easy to find a producer near you, or to plan an outing to a number of producers in your area of interest. Please be sure to read the description of each sugarhouse to know where they are located and the activities they offer. Taste why pure Ontario maple syrup has long been a favourite springtime treat.

Mayor’s Report

Light RaiL Update By: Mayor Jim Watson

While the snow melts and days getting longer, another busy construction season is set to begin. While we can expect some delays, crews will be hard at work improving how quickly and comfortably residents move around our city.

Luckily, crews working on the Confederation Line Light Rail have been hard at work throughout the winter. The Confederation Line project continues on-time and on-budget and I am excited to update you on several significant milestones.

• Phase 1 – will be up and running in 2018 • 2016 will see the final section of running tunnel between Rideau and Parliament stations excavated.

• Excavation of the Lyon Station was recently completed, while Parliament is over 90% complete and Rideau soon to reach 80%.

• More than 3.5 kilometres of track have been installed to date.

• All 13 LRT stations will be under construction before the end of 2016.

• Testing on some of the world-class Alstom CITADIS Spirit LRT vehicles will begin within the next year.

As many of you know, this is just the first phase of the system we will be constructing over the next decade. The next chapter of light rail is just around the corner: Stage 2 of LRT. When Stage 2 is complete in 2023, residents will be able to catch a train as far west as Bayshore and Algonquin College, as far east as Place d’Orleans, and as far south as Riverside South. This will bring close to 70 percent of the city’s population within five kilometres of rail. This will fundamentally transform the way our city moves and grows.

Findlay Creek resident joins Players’ cast Anne Peterson Submitted

Michael Versluis, Findlay Creek resident and pastor of Parkway Road Pentecostal Church in Greely, spends his Sunday mornings in prayer and contemplation with his congregation.

However, Sunday afternoons are a whole different story as he and his wife Hope sing and dance in rehearsals for the Greely Players’ upcoming production of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast.

“I have been given a cameo role as Monsieur D’Arque,” says Versluis, “so I have been having fun playing a sinister and nasty character.

“This my fourth odd or evil role on stage,” adds Versluis. “I’ve also played a Nazi, a pirate and a wizard.”

Hope is playing a dancing napkin and a

villager as part of the chorus in the show.

“The choreographer is certainly putting us through our paces,” she says, “but it’s been really enjoyable.”

Versluis is joined on stage by Riverside South resident Mark BranchSmith as Lefou, and Matt Easterbrook, from South Keys, as Cogsworth.

While this is BranchSmith’s first time on stage with the Greely Players, Easterbrook has had lead and chorus roles in 16 previous Greely Players productions.

“I have been a Disney fan all my life but have never done one of their shows. It’s wonderful being a part of something that I loved as I was growing up,” explains Easterbook. “Perhaps I am channeling my inner child.”

Branch-Smith has not had any previous theatre work, but he has done

some short independent films around town.

“I saw the audition notice in the paper and I thought, ‘Why not give it a try?’” he says. “I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience – it’s a great atmosphere. You can tell everyone is really committed to the project.”

The Greely Players is a not-for-profit community musical theatre group operating on a cost-recovery basis only and relies solely on volunteers.“We’re proud to foster community involvement in our productions by including actors of all ages,” says Greely Players president Joan Bruce-Nibogie.

“Every year we try to include children in the show. We often have multiple family members performing together.”

“The Greely Players are privileged to have a talented Canterbury High School orchestra under the direction of

Bringing light rail to Ottawa will be the single largest infrastructure project since Colonel By built the Rideau Canal. With a project of this size and scope, some disruptions are unavoidable for commuters.

For those who make use Ottawa’s extensive multi-use pathway network, all efforts will be made to ensure access is maintained during construction, where safety permits. Detours will be provided where necessary.

Thank you for your patience as the O-Train Confederation Line continues to grow into reality. The way our city moves and grows will benefit our economy, our environment, and our families for generations to come.

To ensure the fewest disruptions to your commute as possible, I encourage you to access construction and traffic management information by:

John Pohran to accompany a wonderful cast,” says Bruce-Nibogie.

“You can’t find this type of high quality entertainment anywhere else in the city for $20.”

A select group of Players also put on presentations at local elementary schools leading up to the main production, and the organization provides an annual scholarship for local students entering university for the performing arts.

The Greely Players’ production of Beauty and the Beast will take place at the Greely Community Centre from April 6 to 9, at 7:30 p.m., with additional 2 p.m. matinees on April 9 and April 10. Tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for seniors and children 12 and under. Visit greelyplayers.ca to select your seats, or call 613-8215407 for tickets and more information.

Ingredients

Sauce • 1/2 cup (125 mL) packed brown sugar • 1/4 cup (50 mL) 10 per cent halfand-half cream • 1 tbsp (15 mL) butter • Pinch salt • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) vanilla Filling • 1/4 cup (50 mL) packed brown sugar •1 tbsp (15 mL) butter •1 tsp (5 mL) grated orange rind •3/4 tsp (4 mL) Chinese five spice powder • Pinch salt

• 4 apples, peeled and chopped (about 4 cups/1 L) • 8 eggroll wrappers • 1 tsp (5 mL) vegetable oil • 1 tbsp (15 mL) icing sugar Preparation instructions

Sauce: In small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together sugar, cream, butter and salt until mixture comes to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, whisking occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 8 minutes. Stir in vanilla and set aside.

Filling: In large skillet over medium heat, combine sugar, butter, orange rind, Chinese five spice powder and salt; cook, stirring occasionally until butter melts and mixture is bubbly, about 5 minutes.

Add apples and cook, stirring, until apples are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool 10 minutes.

On the other side of the argument is Coun. George Darouze of Osgoode ward, who said he’s not sure photo radar is the right answer for the speeding problem in his community. “We all do have speeding issues in our wards. All councillors do,” he said, “but photo radar is not the best solution.”

Darouze said he would be in support of having photo radar in the most vulnerable speeding areas, such as school zones. Otherwise, he said more enforcement of posted speed limits and the education of drivers should be the main focus.

“Just sending and mailing tickets for the heck of it – I don’t see the point,” said Darouze of the photo radar technique of ticketing the owner of any car exceeding the posted limit. “I do not deny there is a speeding issue, but I don’t believe photo radar is the solution because I think we have a behaviour issue that goes deeper than that.”

Darouze added that he believes stronger police enforcement of speeding is the best way to change a driver’s behaviour, to make them a better driver in all regards.

“I don’t want it to turn into a cash grab from the residents,” he said. “Photo radar will not replace enforcement.”

In the same camp as Darouze is Bruce Brayman, president of the Greely Community Association. He said that while photo radar might be an effective tool for reducing speeds, it is better suited to a more urban area than a rural community like Greely. The main problem in Greely, he said, is traffic management, not necessarily traffic speeds.

The Manotick News reached out to Coun. Scott Moffatt but he was unavailable for comment ahead of press time.

Pet Adoptions

Many wildlife parents leave their young alone during the day. How you tell if an animal needs your help or should be left alone? If an animal needs your help, you will see one or more of the following signs: • • • • • • •

Sam (ID #a188013)

If You Care, Leave Them There As the temperature warms, wildlife becomes more active and birthing season soon follows. Humans start to go outdoors more and the wildlife/people conflict begins to heat up too.The most obvious sign is the carnage on our roadways that we begin to witness. The sign here at the OHS is the influx of wild animals. Sadly, many of these creatures will be juveniles that would have been safer had they been left where they were. There simply aren’t enough rehabilitation spaces for all the wildlife in our region, and most didn’t need our help in the first place.

A wild animal presented to you by a cat or dog Bleeding An apparent or obvious broken limb Evidence of a dead parent nearby Unusual or uneven loss of fur Difficult or raspy breathing or sneezing Body covered in fleas

Otherwise, please, if you care, leave him there.

For more information about wildlife and human wildlife conflicts, please visit www.ottawahumane.ca/wildlife before you act.

Sam is a playful boy who has oodles of doggy energy! He would love to find a new family as active as he is who will spend plenty of time with him. He enjoys going on long walks and playing with fun, interactive toys.

While Sam loves people, he can be a little nervous when meeting new dogs. He would benefit from being introduced slowly to friendly and respectful dogs to help him build his confidence. If you have previous I know that stumbling upon a baby animal that appears to need help experience with big, playful dogs like Sam, why not come meet him brings out a helping instinct in all of us but spotting a baby animal today! by himself doesn’t necessarily mean he’s an orphan. Many wildlife parents leave their young alone during the day, sometimes for long For more information on Sam and all the adoptable animals, stop periods. The mother is usually nearby and quite conscious of her by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd Check out our website at young. Also, keep in mind that despite their small size, many young www.ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption. animals are actually independent enough to fend for themselves.

Edison

Edison (Edi) is a two-year-old Standard Poodle.

He is well known around the Beaver Pond and has quite a few besties in the neighbourhood.

He is a foodie, who is always willing to ‘help’ in the kitchen and with unpacking groceries. A typical teenage guy; he is at the hairstylist every six weeks to get his hair just right.

His favourite toy is Crazy Chicken (a stuffie)… whom he carries around in his mouth, whining after he eats.

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

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 A positive attitude may help you overcome any challenges that come your way this week, Aries. Maintain this positivity and things will ultimately work out for the best.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, offer others positive feedback when they deserve it. Your willingness to give credit where it’s due is why others find you so easy to work with.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, others will be very receptive to your fresh ideas this week. Be prepared to explain these ideas in as much detail as possible and enjoy the fruits of your labors.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, some good news is just over the horizon. Resist the temptation to celebrate prematurely, but don’t be surprised when Lady Luck breaks your way.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 A number of opportunities are coming your way in the near future, Leo. Just get ready to take advantage of these chances when opportunity knocks. It rarely knocks twice.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Relationships are on your mind, Virgo. You are anxious to show loved ones how much you care for them, and they will respond in kind.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you have plenty on your plate lately, but you also have to find a way to fit in some time for rest. Running at a frantic pace is a recipe for burn-out.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, let go of some of the responsibilities you have recently taken on.

Trust that others around you can handle these tasks just as capably. Enjoy the extra free time. You earned it.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, even though the world has lately presented plenty of twists and turns, you can still enjoy the ride. Keep an open mind to all new opportunities.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, a big project is yours to make work. This is a big responsibility, but you are up to the task. Keep forging ahead and you will be pleased with the results.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Focusing on one thing is a tricky proposition this week, Aquarius. You have a lot of things on your mind, but do your best to maintain focus. Take breaks, if necessary.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Someone’s criticism may shock you, Pisces, but that could be for the best.

It may just ground you and bring you back to reality.
