MacLeod seeks public Inside opinion on budget NEWS jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Residents concerns about an impending provincial budget are close to home, said Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod.

MacLeod held a series of public consultations in Manotick, Greely, Osgoode and Bells Corners on March 23 to suss out what residents would like to see tabled at Queen’s Park.

“Our past two bills we have had to go to the bank and pay $800 to Hydro,” said Manotick resident Lyn Presley, whose husband Dave recently underwent a kidney transplant.

The couple, who attended the consultation at the Manotick Legion, said they’d like to see the province scrap the Green Energy Act and get rising rates under control.

Dave has had several appointments following his transplant surgery last spring. He said paying hospital parking fees, gas and his electricity bill have put a lot of financial pressure on the family.

“We both only have our government pension,” he said.

er resident and president of Wind Concerns Ontario, said she will continue to fight wind mills. She mentioned the impact the 86 Wind Turbines has had on the look of Wolfe Island – near Kingston and said other communities will be next if the Green Energy Act isn’t scrapped.

“It’s not just about property value loss,” she said, adding that people whose homes are close to wind turbines are seeing a 20 to 58 per cent reduction in property values.

“It’s about health concerns too. Those things are loud and they are preventing people from being able to sleep.

Anyone with small children can tell you the impact of losing sleep.”

MacLeod also polled residents about the planned closure of 14 beds at Winchester District Memorial Hospital and the closure of the Kemptville Campus of the University of Guelph.

The University of Guelph announced the closure of the agricultural programs at their Alfred and Kemptville campuses earlier this month. The closure was due to stalled enrollment and rising costs.

John Newman, vice-president of the Kemptville college foundation, said declining enrollments has been a problem since the ’90s.

“The University of Guelph finally had to call uncle,” he said.

Despite the closure, Newman said there is a coalition of interested parties, which includes the mayor of North Grenville, the college foundation and people from the Algonquin College community to see if some programs can be taught out of the Kemptville campus.

News - Students and their parents came together at St. Mary School in Greely on March 25 to celebrate healthy bodies and healthy minds.

Sean James, owner of the Manotick Greco Lean and Fit, led the kids – aged six to 10 – in

a series of activities, while fitness guru Tony Greco talked to parents about the importance of nutrition.

Fitness guru gives parents tips active at the school so this fits,� she said.

James said it’s important to get the healthy living message to kids at a young age, because it helps turn it into a lifestyle. “We need to promote the four pillars of healthy living – sleep, stress management, nutrition and exercise,� he said. “And fitness has to be fun.�

Students got a chance to test out a number of fun activities during the workshop, including obstacles courses, hurdles and balance tests.

Parents had a more sedate conversation with Greco in the library.

Greco, who started a foundation to fight childhood obesity, has made a career out of his passion for fitness.

He said the goal at his 14 lean and fit centres across the city is to transform the body, lift the spirit and transform the mind.

He said 80 per cent of the battle is the right source of nutrition.

Greco called sugar the “white death,� and said the average person consumes 600 pounds

of sugar annually. “That can have a devastating impact, not only on your body and appearance, but your mind,� he said, adding his eight-year-old has been off Nutella for a week and the change in her behaviour is noticeable. “White sugar isn’t natural so your body treats it like a drug,� he said. “When kids start the day with sugary cereal or something, they start to crash once they’re on the bus, so they dig into their snacks or they can’t concentrate.

Greco said one of the first steps to healthier eating could start with using natural sweeteners like natural maple syrup and natural unpasteurized honey.

He also suggested foods high in protein, like a hard-boiled egg for breakfast, coupled with a homemade berry smoothie.

He also said it’s important to eat “super foods,� like broccoli. “The dark green vegetables are very important,� he said.

Greco said the best thing parents can do is arm themselves with information and read the labels carefully when they’re grocery shopping.

Meet the candidates: Liam Maguire Local hockey expert enters Osgoode race

Q: Detail your past political and civic activism, whether it’s volunteering, campaigning, donations, lobbying or employment at any level of government or political party.

A: I haven’t been involved in politics on any level really. I am a hockey guy. I will be learning the ropes, but I am prepared to talk to anyone about any issue. I have spoken on behalf of 150 to 200 charities during my career and I coach hockey for the Osgoode Rideau Minor Hockey Association. I think in the next couple of years I would like to join the board of directors.

I am a hockey guy. I will be learning the ropes.

LIAM MAGUIRE

A: No. None that I know of.

LIAM MAGUIRE Q: How are you going to fundraise for your campaign?

A: I am going to hit the phone and call some local companies. Doug’s been available for advice – as he has been for all the candidates – and I have been approached by some people already. I have to figure out what the expenses will be, but I think all I will need is some lawn signs. I plan on attending events across the ward from now until Oct. 27.

Q: What do you think the biggest issue was in Osgoode Ward this term and how was it handled? What will be the big issue next term?

A: Osgoode is a rural ward and from the time of amalgamation there has been a concern about city bureaucracy breathing down our necks. I don’t think bimonthly garbage pickup would have happened under Osgoode Township. I think transportation was a key issue as well. Because it’s such a large geographic space, it’s

needs of the residents and represented them well on council.

Leading into the next term we need to make sure the development that’s happening in the war d follows the smart growth. For the first time Osgoode is seeing some development south of Nixon (Drive). We don’t want to see development happen like the nuclear explosion in areas like Stittsville. We want it to fit the community.

Other candidates in Osgoode Ward are Justin Campbell, George Darouze, Bruce Faulkner, Kim Sheldrick and Jean Johnson-McKitterick.

News - Liam Maguire, local hockey trivia expert, author and radio host, has thrown his hat into the ring for the Oct. 27 municipal election.

The father of two put his name on the ballot for Osgoode Ward March 18.

Maguire’s brother, Mike is on the ballot for mayor.

Maguire lived in Manotick for 12 years and has been in Osgoode for the last 15.

Aside from volunteering as a coach with the Osgoode Rideau Minor Hockey Association for a number of years, Maguire said he has spoken on behalf of many local charities. He was also a part of fundraising for the family of Mike Doyle, who was from Osgoode and died in a tragic snowmobile accident in 2006. The fundraiser was aimed at helping his family to pay for his child’s recreational sports fees and postsecondary education.

Maguire has a radio show on 1310 called the Liam Maguire Ultimate Hockey Show. He has also been invited to speak across the country because of his ex-

Q: Why are you running in Osgoode Ward?

A: It was my brother that talked me into it. Mike started discussing it with me when he ran for mayor in 2010. He told me to call Doug (Thompson). If he had anything negative to say I wouldn’t have put my name in, but he was all for it. He thought it was a fabulous idea, so I talked to my kids and decided to give it a try.

According to the general manger for the authority, Vicky Kyriaco, the changes are aimed at making the organization more efficient.

The authority was established in 2007 in response to the Ministry of Education’s reform on transportation, which called on school boards across the province to develop partnerships and combine transportation departments.

According to the authority’s bylaws, Kyriaco said, it

Since these changes are greater than 10 minutes, the authority will seek a decision from both school boards in December 2014.

The route changes will allow for one bus to take students to three different schools, saving the boards an estimated $3.3 million.

According to the public school board, as many as 38,000 to 40,000 students require daily transportation to and from school. The walking distance is currently 800 metres for kindergarten children and 1.6 kilometres for grades 1 to 8. Grades 9 through 12 must walk if a student lives within 3.2 km of their school.

Parents are encouraged to view the maps, and depending on the routes, point out concerns but there is little flexibility for changes to be made.

The consultations, which begin in April, will present specific plans to specific neighbourhood school zones. “The most important message is that it is not written in stone, we do want to hear from the school communities,�

The changes follow a study of existing routes conducted by an outside firm that evaluated and highlighted potential safety hazards. “There would be little which would surprise us there,� Kyriaco said.

News - Emily-Jane Hills Orford recently launched a book celebrating the accomplishments of amazing women throughout history.

Orford, a prolific writer and Barrhaven native who recently moved to North Gower, has written 16 books.

Her first book was The Creative Spirit: Stories of the 20th Century, grew out of research she was doing into her family tree.

Hills Orford has a background in Canada music and art history. She teaches piano to private students and creative writing to students at Osgoode and Castor Valley public schools. “I think it’s nice to volunteer at the rural schools because they don’t often have professionals coming in from the city,� she said.

Hills Orford’s latest book, entitled Amazingly ExtraOrdinary Women, made its debut at the North Gower branch of the Ottawa Public Library on March 20. It was published in January.

It’s a collection of stories about women from across the centuries. “I thought about women as pioneers – the broader definition of leaders in their fields,� Hills-Orford said.

Some of the inspiration came through unrelated searches on other topics. “That’s the beauty of the Internet; you can go off into tangets,� she said.

One of the women she talked about was Marie Curie, the Polish physicist and chemist who did ground breaking research on radioactivity.

In a section on women as teachers, Hills Orford told the story of her mother, who was a teacher and that of a Chinese woman whose parents blinded her as a child to make more money for the family as a beggar. “She went on to be rescued and taught blind children,�

Hills Orford said.

In a section about amazing women and healthcare, Hills Orford told the story of her mother-in-law, who served as a nurse in the Second World War. “She initially went overseas over Christmas and they used to bring the hospital’s one piano around to the different wards on a rickety old cart to spread cheer,� Hills Orford said.

It’s that kind of story that adds a personal touch to the book, she said. It’s also one of the reasons Hills Orford decided to self publish a few years ago. “One of the rejection letters I got from a publishing company said they only publish biographies on famous people,� she said. “I understand marketing, but there needs to be a place for these untold stories.�

Avoiding the red tape

A

mong the things a city should try to avoid is discouraging business growth.

Businesses pay taxes and businesses employ residents, who in turn pay taxes. Along with development fees, taxes are the primary way cities collect money to pay for roads, arenas, transit and the like, so actively discouraging the growth of business in a city is like the shooting of one’s own foot.

Last week, a couple of issues that have the potential to affect how business is done in Ottawa came before city council, and in both cases prudent decisions were made. Members of city council voted to reduce the fee paid by restaurant and bar owners to establish sidewalk patios and decided to wait and have further study conducted on the way digital signs are used at businesses across the city.

The patio decision, while only affecting the 2014 season, will see the fee paid by businesses wishing to establish a patio that encroaches on city sidewalks reduced by 10 per cent to $1.23 per square metre. In light of what business owners pay in other cities for the same privilege – only as much as $0.57 per square metre in Toronto, for example – it appears reasonable that this could

be done to see how business owners react. The city intends to study the results ahead of the 2015 season and judge the effect.

The decision to look further at digital signs, which are displayed inside an exterior window for advertising purposes, is also prudent. The city currently has little in the way of data on how widespread these relatively inexpensive devices are or how they might affect those living nearby, making further study a reasonable course of action.

These two issues are good examples of how the city can make life difficult for business, or not, as the case now. In good weather, patios draw restaurant goers to these vital small businesses. Making it easier for owners to leverage the draw of patios keeps them in business, keeps tax dollars flowing to the city and keeps workers employed.

While it’s debatable how effective indoor digital signs are for businesses that choose to use them, they’re marginally distracting and spending too much time and effort figuring out how to referee them smacks of wasteful over-management on the part of the city.

If digital signs need oversight, why not posters?

Why not mannequins? It could easily become a slippery slope ending in a pit of red tape.

Mayoral race needs a little bit of spark

T

he reconstituted Frank magazine has produced a re-election poster for Jim Watson. Under the headline “Watsonmania,� the satirical rag shows a photograph of a sleepy looking mayor saying: “Let me finish the job ... I still see a couple of people awake in the back!�

That would be a common criticism: a boring mayor for a boring city. There is an upside as well, expressed in a number of different ways by a number of different people, but all meaning essentially the same thing: “At least he isn’t Rob Ford.�

This is because in politics, boring means no scandals, no gaffes, no feuds with council members, no blowups with the media, no controversy, no embarrassment to the city.

Jim Watson has that going for him and it’s no small accomplishment, actually. Many are the politicians who thought they were being cautious and responsible and wound up with a reputation for anything but. Something can always trip you up – a careless word you thought was off-the-record, a rogue staffer, an expense account that wasn’t properly scrutinized, a relative who wasn’t properly scrutinized, an unguarded moment in range of somebody’s iPhone camera.

It is not easy to be boring, in other words.

613-723-5970 Published weekly by:

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town Boring can also mean competent, not prone to exaggerations and pratfalls, and Watson fits in there, too. “Ottawa needs stable leadership for the challenges that remain,� he said in announcing his re-election bid. “Stable leadership� is hardly clarion call, but he knows what he is doing.

It is an interesting comment on our times that Watson is considered likely to be reelected simply for not being trouble-prone, just for not being Rob Ford. Little is expected of politicians these days.

This is not to disparage the mayor’s abilities or his record, only to say that imagination and vision, which used to count for a lot, count for much less. We seem to want capable managers who won’t cost us a lot of extra tax dollars, who won’t get us into trouble.

Manotick News EMC - Thursday, April 3, 2014

Big things are not going to get done under that kind of leadership and many of us seem quite content with that. Because big things sometimes lead to big trouble -- as witness, say, Montreal’s Olympic venture in the 1970s.

It would be interesting to see a challenge to Watson by a politician with big things on his or her mind. Great cities become great by taking risks, by thinking big. To take one example, Ottawa could have a great waterfront, like many North American cities, if someone thought big and didn’t hide behind the NCC. To take a less thrilling example, Ottawa will need huge expenditures on infrastructure to keep our roads and bridges and water systems from outliving their usefulness. Someone has to push that.

We know from experience that it is politically expedient to postpone such expenditures. We know from experience – think of Montreal again – that postponement can lead to tragedy.

So it would be good to hear a big idea from Jim Watson, or from one of his competitors, if only to have a more interesting discussion than we usually have around election time.

Watson takes some of the credit for Lansdowne Park redevelopment and light rail, which some might call big ideas. But

Lansdowne Park is looking less and less innovative and light rail is just half of a big idea; it doesn’t come close to meeting the city’s urgent transit needs.

Creating a proper transit system would be a big idea that would really help make Ottawa a great city. But it would cost money and probably necessitate making rules that make life more complicated and/or expensive for drivers. Other cities have taken on that challenge, but it is politically risky to be sure.

There must be dozens of big ideas out there than would make this a better city. It would be nice to hear some of them.

Ontario introduces law to combat invasive species News - As the province faces threats from invasive species such as Asian carp and the mountain pine beetle, the Ontario government has introduced a bill to support the prevention, early detection, rapid response and eradication of these species.

“Invasive species cost the Ontario economy tens of millions of dollars each year,” said Minister of Natural Resources David Orazietti. “With the introduction of our proposed Invasive Species Act, Ontario is taking strong action to address the social, ecological and economic threats that invasive species pose.”

Managing the impacts of just one invasive species – zebra mussels – is estimated to cost the province between $75 million and $91 million each year.

These, and other invasive species, have impacts on the natural environment that are often irreversible. Asian carp have overwhelmed some river systems in the United States, where they now make up more than 95 per cent of the fish by weight in some areas. The European common reed, phragmites, is damaging Ontario beaches and wetlands.

More than 180 non-native aquatic species have been found to occur in the Great Lakes basin, and some have been here for decades. Invasive species are found everywhere in the province, though the majority are in southern Ontario.

For more information, visit ontario.ca/invasivespecies.

If the proposed legislation is passed, Ontario will be the only jurisdiction in Canada that has stand-alone invasive species legislation.

The proposed Invasive Species Act, which was introduced in the provincial legislature in February, would give Ontario the tools to ban activities such as possessing and transporting certain high risk invasive species, enable rapid response actions to address urgent threats, and would help ensure compliance through modernized inspection and enforcement measures.

“Preventing invasive species from arriving and becoming established in Ontario is critical in our fight against this growing threat,” Orazietti said. “The proposed legislation would help by providing the powers to intervene earlier, so small problems don’t become bigger and lead to significant environmental and economic costs for Ontarians.”

Invasive species can enter Ontario and spread across the province in different ways.

Sometimes they are spread unintentionally – for example, recreational boaters who unknowingly transfer zebra mussels that are attached to their boat, from one body of water to another. But many times people introduce invasive species into Ontario knowingly – whether it’s purchasing invasive plants for gardening, dumping aquarium plants or pets into local waterways, or moving contaminated firewood.

Everyone can help prevent the spread of invasive species.

CITY OF OTTAWA CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT COMBINED SEWAGE STORAGE TUNNEL NOTICE OF FILING OF ADDENDUM In February 2013, the City of Ottawa completed a ‘Schedule C’ Class Environmental Assessment (EA) to develop a preferred solution and functional design for additional storage of combined sewage in the ultimate combined sewer area of Ottawa. In 2013, Combined Sewage Storage Tunnel (CSST) Environmental Study Report (ESR) was completed.

The preferred design of the CSST consists of an east-west tunnel (EWT) through the downtown core from LeBreton Flats to New Edinburgh Park and a north-south tunnel (NST) along Kent Street from Catherine Street to the existing outfall north of Wellington Street. The 2013 ESR concluded that the preferred design for the NST would include a construction staging area in St. Laurent Square.

After consultation took place during preliminary design of the CSST in 2014, it was determined that the CSST could be extended south to Chamberlain Street for an alternative construction staging area for the NST. The resulting change in the preferred construction staging area requires additional property. An addendum is required to evaluate the potential environmental implications.

By this Notice, the Addendum is being placed on the public record in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Engineers Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2000, as amended 2007 and 2011). Please note that only the changes proposed in the Addendum are open for review.

A copy of the Addendum report, and the 2013 ESR, will be available for viewing at the following locations: http://ottawa.ca/en/city-hall/public-consultations/sewers-and-wastewater/combined-sewer-overflows City of Ottawa, Client Service Centre: 110 Laurier Avenue West Ottawa Public Library, Hazeldean: 50 Castlefrank Road Ottawa Public Library, Ruth E.

Cancer Society boosts research in Ottawa Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - The Canadian Cancer Society doled out $1.7 million to three local researchers in a bid to help improve the quality of life for cancer patients.

Martin Kabat, CEO of the society, announced the funding at the R.A. Centre on March 25.

Kabat said the survivorship rate of cancer patients has steadily risen from 28 per cent in the 1960s to 68 per cent in present day.

“When the society began funding research in the 1950s some very important discoveries started to take place,” he said, adding Dr. Robert Noble’s discovery of vinblastine was one of the first major advances in chemotherapy, originating in Canada in 1959.

Dr. John Bell, a scientist with the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute and University of Ottawa professor, was the largest funding recipient. The $1.2-million, five-year, impact grant was given to Bell and his research team for the development of cancer-fighting viruses to target pancreatic cancer.

Bell said the society also funds his work through the NCIC Clinical Trials groups in Ottawa, Toronto and Hamilton, Ont. The clinical trials are part a co-operative oncology group which carries out clinical trials in cancer therapy, supportive care and prevention across Canada and internationally.

“I am honoured to receive this funding,” Bell said. “My wife and daughter often knock on doors to fundraise for the society so I know how hard the dollars are to come by.”

Kabat said one of the reasons the society chose to fund the project is because the society wants a renewed focus on the under-funded and

Dr. John Bell, a scientist at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, receives a $1.2-million, five-year grant from the Canadian Cancer Society for his research into using cancer fighting viruses to target pancreatic cancer.

Manotick News EMC - Thursday, April 3, 2014

harder-to-fight cancers such as pancreatic, brain and esophageal cancers.

Dr. Andrew Makrigiannis, working at the University of Ottawa, was given a $185,000 innovation grant to study whether the immune system has a role in breast cancer development.

His research will be conducted over the next two years and could lead to new ways in determining the prognosis of breast cancer patients and using the immune system to fight the disease.

“I think it’s important for the society to continue to fund outside-of-the-box research,” Makrigiannis said. “That will help find new avenues and new ideas.”

Dr. Sophie Lebel, also from the University of Ottawa, along with her co-investigator Christine Maheu of McGill University in Montreal, received a quality of life grant totalling $300,000.

In the next three years they will test whether group therapy can help diminish fears of recurrence in cancer survivors.

Maheu said cancer survivors often experience anxiety and fear that the disease will return. This decreases the patient’s ability to make long-term life and health-care decisions.

“We hope to improve the quality of life by taking away that fear and anxiety,” Maheu said.

“The reason we want to do a group therapy setting is to encourage patients to help each other with their own experiences.”

Kabat the grant recipients are chosen through a rigorous process that can include a peer review of the proposal by as many as 25 of their colleagues. He said he is happy to see world-class cancer research continuing in Ottawa.

“We know that research is one of the most effective weapons in the fight against this disease,” he said.

Breastfeeding: Supporting Moms, Supporting Babies The Ottawa Breastfeeding Buddies program pairs new mothers with volunteers who have breastfed their children for six months or longer.

The program boasts 58 volunteer buddies who speak 17 languages and were paired up with close to 120 moms in 2013.

From modest beginnings of ďŹ ve volunteers in 2005, to 58 today is due in large part to a simple premise: mothers want to give back.

For more information about breastfeeding visit ottawa.ca/breastfeeding.

To connect with a public health nurse call 613-580-6744 (TTY: 613-580-9656) or email healthsante@ottawa.ca To learn more about what public health does for you, take a look at our 2013 Annual Report on ottawa.ca

Many mothers appreciate the technical breastfeeding information as well as the emotional support they receive from speaking with someone who has been through the same experience.

Are you interested in becoming a breastfeeding buddy volunteer or do you want to be partnered with a Breastfeeding Buddy? Contact OttBreastfeedingBuddies@ottawa.ca or call 613-580-6744 extension 23932.

The World Health Organization, the Canadian Paediatric Society and Health Canada recommend exclusive breastfeeding up to six months of age, with continued breastfeeding for up to two years and beyond.

City lowers patio fees for 2014 Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - The snow shows no signs of melting, but the city is already looking forward to patio season.

Recognizing the socio-economic benefits of sidewalk restaurant patios, the city’s planning committee approved a reduction in the fees charged for patios on March 25.

For the 2014 season only, the patio encroachment fee will be $1.23 per square metre per day – a 10 per cent reduction. That temporary decrease will give city staff time to conduct a broader review of sidewalk patio policies and fees.

Ottawa’s current patio fees of

$1.37 per square metre per day are higher than other cities. Patio fees in Toronto range between $0.14 to $0.57 per square metre per day.

According to a staff report, demand for sidewalk patios in downtown Ottawa is “inelastic” and therefore the demand for new patios isn’t likely to increase if the fees are reduced. Since there were more new patios than expected last year – partially due to a pilot project to add patios on Elgin Street – reducing the patio fees for one year won’t change the $570,000 budget for the program, the report states.

The broader review of the sidewalk encroachment bylaw will be reported to planning committee in

time for the 2015 patio season.

In recent years, the city has expanded patio opportunities in other ways. Fees were cut in half for Preston Street for two years at the request of the local merchants association in hopes of spurring more restaurants to add more patios to the dining hotbed of Little Italy, however, only one new patio was established during that time.

Six Elgin Street establishments were given approval to try out patios on a narrower sidewalk for two years. That pilot project is ongoing for another summer.

In 2011, city council reduced the distance patios need to be separated from residential areas. While the

FILE

The city is reducing the fee businesses pay to have a sidewalk patio while a larger study on patios is underway. old rules required at least 30 metres from homes, the new rules would allow patios to be installed with no

minimum separation distance from residences if there are no objections from neighbours.

Embassy invites young entrepreneurs Weekend event connect youth with tools to build businesses Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Young and business savvy? If you are, the U.S. Embassy is inviting you to build your dream business.

Partnering with the Ottawa Public Library’s Imagine Space, the embassy will host its Startup Weekend event on June 1315. Leading up to the event, the embassy

is calling on any business-minded young people to apply to attend the workshop.

To qualify for this opportunity, the young entrepreneurs must be Canadian or residents of Canada between the ages of 18-30, have a strong interest in becoming a business owner and have a clearly defined idea for creating a new business from the ground up.

According to the embassy, the event aims to bring together young Canadian entrepreneurs with American and Canadian mentors, connecting them with the tools needed to launch a successful business.

A concept that operates around the world, the Startup Weekend allows for individuals to pitch their ideas, receive feedback from organizers, peers and facilitators.

The participants then form teams and in a 54-hour timeframe, the participants create a business model, designs, and market and launch a company which is presented to the group for more feedback.

The deadline for applications is April 6. The embassy is will notify successful applicants by email on May 9. Visit usembassyottawa.startupweekend.org for more information.

Harper Government Making Life More Affordable for Canadian Families Ottawa, ON – Recently, Statistics Canada published their Survey of Financial Security, confirming that Canadian families are better off today under our Conservative Government than under the previous Liberal Government.

Find a place to call home

Since 2005, Canadian families have seen their net worth grow 44.5%. In fact, from 2005 until 2012, the largest increase in net worth occurred for families in the middle income bracket.

These numbers reflect the outcome of our government’s low tax plan which puts more money where it belongs – in the pockets of Canadians and their families.

Start Your New Life In Your New Home

We know that raising a family can be expensive However, our government’s focus on controlled spending, low taxes and balancing the budget by 2015 is making life more affordable for Canadian families. Because of initiatives like the Children’s Fitness and Arts tax credits, the Universal Child Care Benefit and lowering the GST from 7% to 5%, the average family is now able to save almost $3,400 per year.

Proof that this Conservative government supports Canadian families is in the numbers: • We have cut taxes over 160 times • The number of Canadians living below the Low Income Cut-off is at its lowest level ever.

• One million Canadians have been removed from the tax rolls, including 380,000 seniors.

Thousands of available model home descriptions

• 1.4 million Canadians are no longer living in poverty, including 250,000 children.

• After-tax disposable income has risen by 10% across all income levels since 2006.

• We have increased the amount families in the two lowest personal income tax brackets can earn before paying taxes.

All of this confirms that this Government is making life more affordable for Canadian families Our government is also taking additional steps to support Canadian families by addressing the price gap between goods sold in Canada versus the United States. Statistics Canada estimates that, in 2011, Canadians were paying about 25% more than consumers south of the border for identical products. This price difference can significantly affect the cost of living for Canadian families, which is why we will ensure that discriminatory, country-based pricing will be prohibited.

We’ll help you find your perfect match!

Finally, this Conservative government is helping families by embarking on the most ambitious trade agenda in Canadian history. Since coming to office, we have negotiated numerous free trade agreements, including an agreement with the European Union which will create approximately 80,000 jobs.

More recently, Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced the Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement, which will also create thousands of new jobs and open up new markets for Canadian business. The elimination of tariffs from these nations means lower costs for Canadian families at the stores.

The Leader of the Liberal Party is not on the right track for Canadian families. He would massively increase the size of the federal government by ballooning national debt or increasing taxes on Canadian families. On the other hand, our Conservative low tax plan is making life more affordable for Canadian families while moving towards a balanced budget.

Kars residentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s costume design business blooms Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Arts - Christina Ziegler, an artist, costume and jewellery designer from Kars said her work on a costume that debuted during Canada Blooms â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest flower and garden festival â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was divine intervention.

Ziegler started working part-time at Manotick Florist after losing one of her charges in the home daycare business she runs. Also working there was floral designer Jennifer Harvey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were working in the rush leading up to Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. I was doing the more mundane work and Jennifer was doing the arrangements when she told me sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been asked to design a costume for a mannequin in Canada Blooms,â&#x20AC;? Ziegler said.

Ziegler said Harvey had an image in her head, but had no experience with costume design, so the pair

worked together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She said I drew her version as she pictured it, if not better,â&#x20AC;? Ziegler said.

After the initial drawings were done, Ziegler and Harvey worked to construct the dress before itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s March 14 debut in Toronto.

Because this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival theme was wild, the costume was edgy in the style of designer Alexander McQueen. The dress has a short skirt with a draping train.

The ensemble is topped off with garters, pink leggings and fishnets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was astounded with the reaction we got from the public,â&#x20AC;? Ziegler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was an older demographic and we were worried the outfit was a little too risquĂŠ. But they loved it.

They said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to party with that girl (the mannequin wearing the outfit).â&#x20AC;?

During the festival, Harvey was named Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top floral designer.

The outfit will be featured in the next issue of Canada Blooms magazine.

Ziegler moved to the Ottawa area from New Brunswick and said she began her artistic foray with paintings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have always looked for creative outlets to satisfy myself. When we moved here it started with my paintings 10 years ago,â&#x20AC;? Ziegler said.

She started putting her work on social media and it branched out into costume design and jewelry work as well.

Ziegler gets her jewelry making supplies from MDG beads on Prince of Wales Drive and hosts sale parties similar to Stella and Dot. Her creations are also available at Manotick Florist and Flowers Talk.

For more information on Ziegler, visit her Facebook page CAZ Art and Design or her website, christina zeigler.ca.

Christina Ziegler helped to design this dress for a mannequin in Canada Blooms, the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest flower and garden festival held in Toronto from March 14-23.

One year later, boys from Mindware share their stories Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - A year ago, all Jayden Findlay was thinking about was how to deal with his emotions and try to control his verbal diarrhea.

Now Findlay said everything has improved – especially what he calls his “filter.”

He is focused on academics and his desire to finishing a science fiction novel.

The only thing that has stayed the same is his time spent at Mindware Academy and participating in the school’s after-school social group.

“I have been able to make and keep friends,” Findlay said.

The keeping a friend, according to his teachers, is probably one of his biggest achievements. Findlay agreed.

“I am really proud of my accomplishments,” he said.

Diagnosed with a non-verbal learning disability, Findlay began attending the private school in the city’s west end because going to public school had become more about dealing with bullies and unsympathetic teaching staff.

The school offers children with learning disabilities a different approach to education. The daytime and after-school social group helps boys like Findlay work on social in-

Mindware Academy students from left, Cameron Nielson and Callum Nightingale talk about their accomplishments in their social skills class. teractions and feelings.

Last year, Manotick News spoke with Findlay and his fellow social group members, Josh Wells, Callum Nightingale, Nikita Sautchenko,

Nick Fejes, Christian Devey and Cameron Nielson about a letter they wrote, expressing their feelings and asking people to be open-minded and try to understand what it is like

to live with a disability, like autism and Asperger’s syndrome.

To celebrate Autism Awareness Day on April 3, the boys wanted to recap all that has happened in the past year.

“Our school received many calls about the letter, many people who said they were touched by the boys’ words,” said their teacher, Susan Mancini.

Beyond outside recognition of the letter, having the boys express their feelings was all part of the groups steps to becoming more successful in dealing with social situations, reading people and understanding what is right and wrong.

Last year, Manotick resident Callum Nightingale said he always felt stressed out and cried often. One year later, Nightingale has not only improved dealing with his social skills, nerves and stresses, he has also taken on a leadership role at the school. The 14-year-old has been helping younger boys and girls at the school, teaching them social skills and giving them tips and pointers he has learned -- something Mancini said shows how much he has improved. For many of the boys, this will be the last year they attend school at Mindware, as they are off to high school next year.

Each has their own apprehensions about going back to a public school, but were confident in the fact they

have learned the skills to prosper.

For Nightingale, he said if he gets anxious, he will be able to handle it.

For Fejes, he said he has learned it is OK to walk away and ignore bullying. Fejes joked life would be easier if everyone had Asperger’s like him, but then he wouldn’t be special.

“The fact that I will be in a school that will be more than one class full of students is frightening, but I am going to use my coping skills to make it through,” he said.

Every single one of the boys said they have cherished the time they have spent in the social group and at the school.

The school will host an information session about its social skills classes on April 24. Event organizer Caroline George, a social skills and after-school teacher at the school, said the classes aim to work on exactly what the students want to work on. Role-playing, social story-telling and team building are all part of the process she added, saying every day is never quite the same, but builds off of the last day.

“You learn to really talk, to really relate to people,” Findlay said. “I strongly recommend it.”

Winter wears on Mother

M

y sister Audrey’s voice was stern that night.

“I don’t know how often I have to tell you, Mary” she said, wagging a finger under my nose. “It has nothing to do with you.

Mother gets like that ever so often. You should be used to it by now.”

The issue was Mother’s mood. She had that look about her that gave me knots in the pit of my stomach. But that year winter seemed to go on forever: the snow hadn’t even begun to melt, the Model T was still up on blocks in the drive shed, and Mother seemed more melancholy than usual.

As usual, I thought I had done something to upset her, something terrible like forgetting to close my eyes when saying our prayers at her knee at night or not wiping the oilcloth on the kitchen table to her satisfaction after cleaning up after supper. But Audrey said no, I had done nothing to put her in her mood.

Once again she told me that this time of year was when Mother most missed her beloved New York. “It

Dalhousie Community Centre Third Floor, Room 31

MARY COOK

The City invites residents to a Public Open House to receive detailed information about the Albert Street Renewal Project.

Mary Cook’s Memories happens every year. Don’t you remember? Just when winter is about over.” And I would ask my sister to explain it all to me again. She said it was sort of like getting the stomach flu, only there was no medicine to make it better.

To make matters worse, the last big snow storm prevented the Philadelphia Inquirer from arriving at Ritza’s Drug Store.

The paper was as thick as Eaton’s Catalogue, and once Mr. Ritza told Mother she was the only one in the entire county who got the Philadelphia Inquirer.

So Mother was even without that connection to the city she had left, to live in the backwoods of Renfrew County, on a farm with no running water, no electricity and miles from the nearest town.

It seemed to me that during the day, Mother was happier

than she was at night this time of year. And again, my much wiser and older sister Audrey said it was because her days were filled with washing and ironing, baking, and keeping the old log house in tip-top shape.

It was the evenings, when only the coal-oil lamp in the middle of the table lit the kitchen, and the wind howled outside, and the branches of the bare tree close to the house scraped against the windows, that Mother fidgeted at one end of the table, often staring off into space. She took to looking up to one corner of the kitchen ceiling, as if she were searching for something.

Then she would give her head a shake, and bend down to her diaries in front of her.

If Father was aware of the

This work will begin by the end of April and will include the installation of new watermains, upgrade and rehabilitation of sewer infrastructure and the reconstruction of Albert Street between City Centre Avenue and Empress Avenue.

Lulu has a sweet temperament and gets along well with everyone after taking a couple minutes to warm up to new friends.

She will tell stories to anyone who will listen, so she’d be best matched with an owner who appreciates a chatty kitty. Lulu was declawed by her previous owner and would like to be the only feline in your life.

She would love nothing more than to curl up for a catnap in a sunny patch on your living room floor.

It was at that time that she wrote furiously in her diaries. She sat with her left arm circling her scribbler, and I would see her nod, as if confirming what she

I longed to see what she had written, but of course, no one was allowed near her scribblers which were kept in the upper shelf of the backto-the-wall cupboard. That was a sacred place.

At other times I would fall asleep to the click-clack of the old treadle Singer sewing machine when Mother sewed after we had gone to bed. It was a wonderful, soothing sound.

But now, the house was quiet. The only sounds came

from Father plugging more wood into the stove.

We would have said our prayers as usual. And as usual, Mother would put her hand on each head signalling it was time for us to say our own prayer and ask God for special favours.

And I would pray for the end of winter. I would pray that before long our evenings would return to happier times, when joy would come from Mother playing the harmonica, as Audrey and I leafed through Eatonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s catalogue. When the days were longer, the snow had left the foundation of the house, and Mother would once again return from wherever she was on those dark and gloomy nights at the end of winter.

Cast of Here on the Flight Path gears up for opening night Canterbury grad sees herself in character Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Arts - Jennifer Roquebrune, a Canterbury Secondary School graduate who left Metcalfe for the bright lights of Toronto, said the character Angel in the Norm Foster play Here on the Flight Path was made for her.

Roquebrune is part of the cast of the Isle on the River Theatre Company’s production of the play, set to open on April 24.

The play is a comedy set in a typical Canadian city. The main character, John Cummings, is a newspaper columnist who lives in an apartment near the airport. The play follows John through his interactions with three tenants who move into the apartment next to him.

“It’s about the foibles of human relationships,” said director André Dimitrijevic.

Roquebrune said Angel hopes to make it in musical theatre.

“That’s like me,” she said.

“I have been drawn to the

stage since high school. I am a Metcalfe girl that moved to Toronto.”

Bill Steele, who plays the lead, said the part is very demanding, but he’s having fun.

“Norm Foster comedies are very physical and I am the only one who is in every scene,” he said.

I love making people laugh.

BILL STEELE

Steele has been involved with the theatre company off and on since 2003. He’s also a member of the North Dundas Players out of Winchester.

“I love making people laugh,” he said.

Regan Spearns, who plays Gwen, a middle-aged women who moves in next to John after leaving her husband, said while she’s shy in real life, she loves the stage.

“When I get up there I have a great time and I can make people laugh,” she said.

Carey Smith, who plays

Fay, a “lady of the night” who befriends John, echoed Spearns sentiment. She said she is having fun learning about her character.

“She’s hard and soft at the same time,” Smith said.

“She’s hooker with a heart of gold.”

HARD AT WORK

Dimitrijevic said the cast has been rehearsing three times a week since mid-January in anticipation of the April show.

Unlike most troupes, ITR has space to build their sets, so when they’re blocking scenes they can actually do the actions like they would on stage.

Dimitrijevic said that’s particular important because at one time John has to jump over the partition between balconies.

“You can’t do that without the barrier actually being there,” he said.

The first performance of the play is at the Osgoode Community Centre at 7 JENNIFER MCINTOSH/METROLAND p.m. on April 24.

University of Ottawa medical students will host the group’s annual Shave for a Cure event on April 9 to help raise money for childhood cancer research.

University of Ottawa med students lose hair for a cure

Annual event aims to raise $40,000 for Childhood Cancer Canada Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

@ 7:00 p.m.

News - University of Ottawa medical students are going to have a few less hairs atop their heads as they aim to raise money for children’s cancer research.

Smiling Over Sickness, the non-profit, student-run organization is behind the event and organizer Tiffany Locke said she would like this year’s uOttawa Shave for a Cure: St-Baldrick’s Foundation event to raise at least $10,000 more than last year. She said she hopes to collect donations by having participants shave their heads or to cut their locks to donate for wigs. The event takes place at Ottawa Health Sciences Centre on April 9 “This is a great event that gives money to Childhood Cancer Canada,” Locke said. “The money will provide education and support for children and their families, and the money will help with funding more research. The ultimate goal is to find a cure or improve the survival rate of patients living with cancer.”

The students have a close relationship working with children who have cancer. Many of them participate in CHEO buddies -- a program which pairs medical students with children at CHEO. The students offer support to the child and relief for the family. The buddies are matched

at the beginning of the school year and remain paired until the child completes their care.

The university’s event remains the largest university student-led Shave for a Cure event in Canada.

The students would like for as many Ottawa residents to come out to the event, either as participants or supporters because, as Locke said, the more people who come out the better chance the organizations can combat these childhood cancers.

“I think it’s really important because you can really see this is a disease that has a big impact on children’s lives and on the family,” Locke said. “Our ultimate goal is to find cure or improve the survival of the patients.”

Aside from hair falling off the heads of medical students, there will be a silent auction, opportunties to give cash donations or visit and support those who are having their head shaved.

Locke said the group is still collecting items for the silent auction. To donate for the auction, contact James Bryan Fukakusa at bfuka014@ uottawa.ca.

The event begins at 4:30 p.m. in the Atrium of Roger Guindon Hall. There is a suggested donation of $10 at the door or $7 online.

Locke said there are still lots of opportunities to sign up online as a “shavee,” shaver or volunteer. People can sign up to donate or support a participant at stbaldricks.org/events/uottawa/ All funds collected at the event will be donated to the Childhood Cancer Canada by means of the Baldrick’s Foundation.

Manotick News EMC - Thursday, April 3, 2014

OSHC-2014-0362

News - When Notre Dame High School students Erica Tan and Filsan Nur started a project to make a mobile app, they had no idea how to code software.

But two semesters later, the 16-year-old girls were making slices of cheese and tomatoes, leaves of lettuce and buns and patties fly across the screen of a BlackBerry Playbook tablet in their game, Burger Party.

Behind the images of fast-food snacks that make up their burger-building game are complex lines of code the girls learned how to write thanks to resources and mentoring through the TechU.me program.

“We were coming in in Grade 10 with no idea how to code or anything like that, so this was all trial and error for us,” Filsan said.

TechU.me, which kicked off in 2012 with almost $1 million in funding from FedDev Ontario, the federal government’s economic development branch for southern Ontario. It brings together tech companies that provide software and mentors to students enrolled in computer and communications technology courses at local high schools.

Filsan and Erica are two of the 13,000 students who’ve been exposed to the basics of computer programming through their school curriculum since the program began. TechU.me’s mentoring

program has expanded from four to 55 schools in those two years, assisting 2,000 students.

In the schools it’s been offered, enrollment in computer science and communications technology courses has gone up 35 per cent.

That shows the program is increasing awareness about the importance of tech skills and the job opportunities available to young people, said Steve Evraire, TechU.me’s director.

In the future, TechU.me wants to partner with Labour Market Ottawa to get more information about tech careers into high schools.

“In many cases, students, parents and even sometimes guidance counsellors are unaware of some of the really, really interesting careers that are available,” Evraire said.

But the fundamental goal isn’t just to get kids coding, he said. It’s to re-imagine how students acquire key skills they’ll need for the job market in the digital age. Imparting the skills needed for critical thinking, collaboration, communication and creativity is just as important, he said.

Sometimes TechU.me’s resources and mentorship are incorporated into a computer science course and some schools run the program as a lunch-hour club.

TechU.me also runs summer technology camps and the App Jam – a contest for highschool students who enter their creations and win scholarships and $1,000 prizes.
