The city hosted a workshop with planners to talk about water main work and the repaving of Long Island Road, density and heights. Beltzner said noticeably missing from the talks from a plan to deal with transportation issues like cut through traffic on Bridge Street. “Regional roads should fit into the planning,” he said. But Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffat said there are plenty of ways to look at traffic issues, and only a limited number of ways to deal with land use. “We had staff there to talk

about the Greenbank alignment study happening and the roundabout at First Line and Bankfield (Road),” Moffat said. “Transportation has to be revised and citywide truck routes have to be revisited, but those are different studies.” The village’s secondary plan review was supposed to take place in 2012 as part of a citywide village policy review, but when city staff got into the consultation process they realized more work was needed than time allowed. Moffat said the village’s plan was developed in 1997 and briefly updated in 2001, but more work needs to be done. He said the village has been changing for a long time, and residents need to get ahead of potential development in the area so there’s a plan in place. “Manotick has had an incredible amount of growth,” he said. “It went from 350 people in the ’50s to 5,000 today.” Moffat said he knows residents don’t want to see the village expand, but they need to plan for density changes. “Obviously we want to maintain the village core,” he said. Beltzner said the public consult was a good news story. He worked with Donna Smith, head of the Manotick Business Improvement Area, walked around the core, asking business owners to come out and participate. He said the secondary plan was the big ticket item, but residents were also interested in hearing

Parents fuming over proposed bell time change Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Parents at Kars on the Rideau Public School said a potential school bell time change would have a devastating effect. Staff from the Ottawa Student Transportation Authority held a public consultation at the school on April 16. The bell time at the school would change from 8:15 a.m. to 9:15

a.m. The proposed change would align the school’s bus routes with other schools – taking busses off the road and allowing drivers to double runs. The proposed change is part of a city-wide initiative to improve efficiency in student transportation. The changes would take 122 busses off the road and save an estimated $3.3 million. Approximately $440,000 of those savings

would come from Area 10 – which includes North Gower Public School, Munster Elementary School, South Carleton High School and Richmond Public School. The change to Kars is the most severe, with a proposal for an hour difference. “With a sixth of the total savings coming from our area we can’t help feel like we are being penalized,� one parent said.

Vicky Kyriaco, the general manager for OSTA, said that Kars sticks out like a sore thumb because many of the school’s busses only make one run – the ideal is two or three runs. If the school start time is moved to 9:15 a.m. busses that head to South Carleton High School in Richmond, can double up and take Kars students later. But parents say because of the unique geographic make up of the school’s catchment area, a later start time just doesn’t make sense. Jennifer Conlin, who has a child in senior kindergarten and another who will be starting in the next couple of years, said her and her husband commute to King Edward Avenue and Rideau Street for work. The hour-long delay in getting her kids on the bus in the morning will mean an extra $8,000 annually in child care costs. Kyriaco said the plan is still in the early stages and parents will have until July 15 to give OSTA their comments. The Catholic and public boards won’t vote on the authority’s recommendations until De-

Vicky Kyriaco, the general manager for the Ottawa Student Transportation Authority, listens to parent’s concerns over a proposed bell time change at Kars on the Rideau Public School on April 16. cember. Kyriaco said other rural schools have start times of 9:15 so she needs to make a case “We have to show them how Kars is unique,� she said. The attempt to find efficiencies is part of making a case for more funding from the Ministry of Education, Kyriaco said, urging parents to complete the authority’s

online surveys and help her make a case to the ministry to keep the bell time at 8:15 a.m. Parents have already submitted 87 surveys with 78 of them in opposition to the proposal. Lynn Scott, the trustee that covers the area, said an increased efficiency rating and more funding will help bridge the gap in costs brought on by a decision in the fall. She said she’s happy to see high school kids get bussed, but doesn’t want to see those changes happen on the backs of parents at Kars. “I am hearing a lot of huge concerns about the impact to the community if this change were to go forward,� Scott said, adding extra-curricular activities could suffer as a result of the later end time. “I am hearing there will be an impact on soccer games and the skate club clubs,� she said. “People have a lot further to drive to get their children to these types of activities and need the school to end earlier to make scheduling work.� The public consultations will continue into June, for more information, visit www. ottawaschoolbus.ca.

Greely Elementary School gets new principal Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland. com

News - Alexandra Vasilas has been an educator for 20 years. Vasilas will be replacing Greely Elementary School’s long-time principal Helen Jarvis who retired at the end of March. She comes to the

school after serving as a principal at Grant Alternative School, vice-principal J.H. Putnam Public School and vice-principal at Roberta Bondar Public School. She said she’s excited for her tenure at Greely. “What’s amazing is the amount of activities available for students,” she said. “Greely has a relatively small staff

but there’s almost as much available as when I was at Roberta Bondar, where there were 800 students and 50 to 60 staff.” Vasilas lives in Blossom Park, a neighbourhood in the city’s south end, so she’s happy with the shorter commute to work. Greely is her first rural school and she said

she’s pleased with the school community. “I have already met with the school council. Everyone has been fantastic,” she said. “Everyone works together as a team.” To get to know her new surroundings, Vasilas said she worked with Jarvis before her retirement to get to know as many of the staff and

students as she could. Her plan of action for the next few months will be to engage all students. Vasilas said she plans to have six students lunch with the principal every day until she has met all 225. “It’s all about building connections,” she said, adding she is out every recess.

On the academic front, Vasilas said she plants to work on the school’s existing improvement plan. The plan aims to focus on numeracy and problem solving. “Ant-bullying initiatives are also very important to me,” Vasilas said. “It’s our job to ensure students can reach their full potential.”

Metroland Media wins Best News Story was recognized for its exploration of the scene of the crash, its eyewitness accounts and its coverage of the safety issues involved. “The challenge was to collect all this information while still trying to be as sensitive as possible,” said Jennifer McIntosh, a reporter with Nepean-Barrhaven News who was on the scene shortly after the accident. “People had lost family members, or didn’t know yet whether they had lost family members,” said McIntosh. “It required a lot of delicate reporting and it was very difficult for all of us, I think.”

Community - The Ontario Community of Newspapers Association awarded the Nepean-Barrhaven News with the honour of best news story among the province’s largest community newspapers in the 2013 Better Newspaper Competition. The award recognized the paper’s coverage of the fatal collision of a train and city bus in Barrhaven last September that left six dead and a community heartbroken. The story, titled ‘Loud bang, then awful screeching,’

The story was pieced together by reporters from many of the Metroland community newspapers across Ottawa. “It was a collaborative effort,” said McIntosh. “There was something like six different reporters working on the story at any given time that day.” The award ceremony took place on April 4 in Vaughan, Ont. Clarington This Week got second place in the category for its story, titled ‘Love for Newcastle family attacked by hate,” and third place went to the Etobicoke Guardian for its story titled ‘Cop risks life to save dog from frigid pool.’ ONTARIO COMMUNITY OF NEWSPAPERS ASSOCIATION

about the proposed routes for the water main work. “Local improvements may make it possible for water and sewer connections,� he said. City planner Rose Kung said feedback from the public will be used to confirm the recommended water main work and the environmental assessment report with the preferred solution being presented to council this year. Moffat said repaving work was supposed to begin on Long Island Road last year, but he held off the project to put it in line with the water main replacement. He’s hoping the work will get started in 2015. “The water main wasn’t scheduled until 2016, but I don’t know how much longer Long Island will hold out,� he said.

Upper Canada Health Link unveiled in Winchester Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Provincial health minister Deb Matthews made a stop in Winchester on April 15 to announce funding for a new community health link. Matthews stopped at the Winchester District Memorial Hospital to announce the Upper Canada Health Link, designed to help meet the needs of complex and chronic care patients. The health link’s boundaries will include Russell Township, and the surrounding area to rural south eastern Ottawa and the St. Lawrence River. It will be led by the Winchester Hospital with the collaboration of frontline service organizations like, the Dundas Manor, Rural Ottawa South Support Services, the Township of Osgoode Care Centre and the Findlay Creek and Osgoode family health organizations. Matthew took time during the announcement to talk to Winchester hospital patient Evelyn Hunter and her husband Wallace. Ideally under the new program, Hunter’s health care

team would work together and do what they can to keep her out of the emergency room. Matthews said the problem with health care is that one per cent of the population of Ontario consumes one-third of health care spending. Five per cent of the population consumes two-thirds of health care spending. “People with complex needs with multiple conditions aren’t always getting the care they need. They may be getting lots of care, they may be going to lots of appointments and spend lots of time in hospitals, but they may not be getting the best care for them,” said Matthews. “Partly because there isn’t an integrated plan of care for that person where all their healthcare needs are dealt with by a team of health care people.” The idea for the health links came from the medical community and the province has been working on implementation for the last year, Matthews said. A link would be led by a family health team, a community health centre, community care access centre or hospital. They include family doctors,

specialists, hospitals, longterm care, home care or other community supports like food banks or police. They received funding from the local health integration networks and aim to take a more holistic approach to patient care. Matthews said there are currently 54 – which covers about half of the province. Matthews said she talked to a man in Barry Ont. who was in the emergency room once a week for chronic pain and diabetes-related complication. He was suicidal and addicted to opiates. Since the creation of his health team he has reduced his opiate use by 80 per cent, stayed out of the emergency room and has no more thoughts of suicide. “We knew that health links would benefit patients with complex issues like Evelyn, but we are also seeing a lot of mental health issues out of this as well,” Matthews said. The Ontario government’s initial funding for this project is $60,000 and, ultimately, available funding could be as much as $1 million. Dr. Marilyn Crabtree from the St. Lawrence Medical Clinic said the province’s

Stoop-and-scoop this spring

S

pring. Even the word sounds good. Relief after frostbite season. Unfortunately, spring also brings with it the evidence that some dog walkers aren’t doing their duty after their pet has done theirs. Parks, boulevards, sidewalks and pathways in some places are awash in poop and that’s no fun for anyone. The vast majority of dog owners clean up after their pet – if they didn’t, we’d be knee deep in the stuff by now. So how do we convince the offending few to scoop? Do we need more laws and regulations? Pet owners would no doubt say “No.� And our bylaw officers have better things to do than stake out parks on the off-chance a bad owner will offend in plain view. Do we need better education? The city advises owners to scoop poop and take it home, where they should flush it down the toilet so that our sewage system can treat the dog dirt like it does our own. Why not use a garbage can in the park or the bin at home? Turns out all the poop that ends up in the trash will become part of the city’s landfill, making it even more of a challenge to prevent toxins from seeping

into our waterways. Even if you own a dog and choose to use a garbage can, that’s a darn sight better than failing to scoop at all. Maybe we need to make things easier for all pet owners by providing better poop containers in the, shall we say, hotspots. That would take tax dollars. Some offenders may be children who don’t like the idea of carrying a bag of poop to the garbage or back home. If your son or daughter takes the dog out for a walk, why not insist they bring home what Rover eliminates, just to be sure your family isn’t part of the problem. In the end (no pun intended), if the problem gets worse, society will put in place penalties or regulations that affect all dog owners – the good and the bad. Maybe licence costs will rise to cover clean-up costs. Maybe a bylaw you disagree with will be passed. To avoid those potential pitfalls, pet owners should be at the forefront of making sure all owners scoop after their dogs. Use peer pressure. Use education. Carry an extra bag to clean up after an owner who gives you a bad name. After all, it’s dog owners that have the most to lose.

Jazz band forms trans-generational bond

I

n 1974, Pierre Trudeau was re-elected with a minority government, president Richard Nixon imposed a 55 mileper-hour speed limit, Blazing Saddles opened in movie theatres and, in another significant cultural event, four transplanted Brits got together with two Canadians to play traditional jazz. That was the Apex Jazz Band, which on Sunday, April 27, at 2 p.m. celebrates its 40th year at its accustomed hangout, the Royal Oak in Kanata. When you think of the things that don’t last 40 years – which is to say, most things – that’s an amazing accomplishment. Three members of the original band are still playing – leader and clarinetist Roger Cramphorn, trombonist and business manager Rod Digney and bassist Ron Laight, who was only 19 at the time the band formed. The others are drummer Steve Barrette, trumpeter Gordon Tapp and Dave Johnstone on guitar and banjo. Although some people think of traditional jazz (sometimes referred to as Dixieland) as a kind of museum piece, it’s a living thing in the right hands. A contemporary trumpet player from New Orleans, Wynton Marsalis, likes to say that “all jazz is modern.� In other

You can test that out by going to the band’s website, www.apexjazzband.ca, where you can see videos of the band and catch up on its recordings, dating back to 1977, and its history. There are more than 200 songs in Apex’s repertoire and the band is still learning more. The band’s first gig was at the Black Bottom, a club underneath the Gondola Restaurant on Bank Street. A number of other venues followed, until Apex settled in at its current location for Sunday afternoon shows 24 years ago. Much has changed over the years. The Internet, which has generally had a negative effect on live music, has also helped in some

ways. Promotions is an obvious one, but there are others. “It is no longer necessary to scour record shops to find a recording of something,� Rod Digney notes. “If it exists, one is likely to find it with a simple five-minute Google search from the comfort of home. For us, this has facilitated what I like to call ‘email rehearsals.’ One of the guys finds a vintage tune he’d like the band to do and sends the rest of us a link to a YouTube video or audio we can all listen to. Often, the chords are also available on line, otherwise someone writes them out from the recording. We all have a good listen, often playing along and if he needs to, the trumpeter can write himself a chart for the lead line. We’ll have a quick talk-through just before our regular gig starts, then play it in the show, without ever having gotten together for a rehearsal.� The band members acknowledge that the music does appeal to an older crowd. But not exclusively. “Throughout our existence as a band,� says Rod Digney, “we have learned that young people also love the music – they just don’t know that they like it. “Young people (I am thinking collegeaged students) who would not walk across

the street to hear the band, generally get very enthusiastic about the music if they happen to stumble across us playing, say, at an outdoor venue.� Adds Roger Cramphorn, “What I noticed throughout my musical life here was that generally, the older people came along first then followed by the next generation and then the last few years, the grandchildren started to appear! This gave me great joy because we were teaching kids to enjoy live music and we seemed to form a trans-generational bond with them so we were passing on the love of the music.�

Greely teacher runs second Boston Marathon Running is a way of life for Greely teacher Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Jen Frechette said if a year goes by without her running a marathon, she starts to get the itch. Frechette, a resident of

Greely and a teacher at Jockvale Elementary ran the Boston Marathon on April 22. It was her second time completing the 42-kilometre course. “I am really excited,” she said before she left for the run in Bean Town. “This will be the eighth marathon for me. And when you finish Boston you feel like a hero.” Frechette has been training since January. She said this year’s heavy snowfall and

colder temps made the training frustrating. In keeping with her running discipline, she has to find ways to deal with inclement weather regrdless of its severity.While her body is strengthened by all of the running and training, her mental strength and attitude are also a crucial component to her being able to compete. Her patiernce and determination is challenged by her running environment. “I run every Sunday and

there’s been times where it’s snowing again or freezing again and it’s frustrating, but you know you have to train or you won’t be ready for Boston. It’s a very tough course.” She said she remembers training last year in -39 Celsius. “Everyone thought we looked like crazy people,” she said. Frechette runs 30 to 36 kilometres every Sunday with a group from the Running Room. She also trains by us-

ing free weights and spin class. Frechette said she started running in high school and now she is addicted. “I stopped running when I had my first daughter but I was at it again by the time she was 10 months,” she said, adding it was basically the same with her second. Frechette ran the New York marathon in the fall, it was the first marathon following the bombing in Boston and she said there was a different feel.

“There were a lot of police and security, it was quite amazing,” she said.” I have a feeling Boston is going to have a different feel this year too.” Frechette said her family will likely be glad when she is done running for the season. Her husband, daughters and her parents will be on the sidelines in Boston cheering her on – and hopefully meeting her at the finish line. “It’s going to be very exciting,” she said.

Ogilvie Subaru: A New Home for Confidence in Motion prizes from almost every industry analyst and review group. Their model line-up has grown to include gasoline-electric hybrids, segment-defining crossovers, and a rear-wheel drive two-door sports coupe that is winning converts from high-level European products. And when the largest car maker in the world (Toyota) asks Subaru to build some of their cars and collaborate on special projects, well you know they’re doing something very right.

Left to right are: Lisa Mierins of Ogilvie Subaru, Don Durst of Subaru Canada, Ottawa City Councillor Tim Tierney, Mr Shiro Ohta - President and CEO of Subaru Canada, and Tom McCullough of Ogilvie Subaru. On January 10, 1977, Ogilvie Subaru became just the 10th dealership in Canada selling those iconic all-wheel drive compacts with the unusual horizontallyopposed ‘pancake’ engines. On April 9 of this year, the Mierins family celebrated 37 successful years of Subaru sales in Ottawa with a brand new location on Parisien Street (just off St. Laurent and the Queensway). The Subaru family of retailers now numbers almost 90 stores from coast to coast and arguably none more impressive and inviting than Ottawa’s own Ogilvie Subaru. The success stories of both Subaru and the Mierins family over the years have blazed very similar trails. Subaru never wavered from their original philosophy that all-wheel drive was the best and safest way to power a passenger vehicle. When they first starting selling vehicles in Canada only large SUV’s and trucks offered all-wheel drive. Now almost every carmaker has followed Subaru’s lead. But where other manufacturers simply bolt on

another drive-train to an existing platform, Subaru designs every aspect their vehicles around a dedicated full-time revolutionary all-wheel drive system. Arnie Mierins and his family also started their vehicle retailing careers with a focused concept. They believe that buying new and pre-owned vehicles and getting them serviced shouldn’t be a stressful or difficult process. They have carefully selected and trained team members over the years that share this credo and treated them the way they want their clients treated; with respect. The end result is a legion of satisfied customers who refer friends and family on a daily basis and staff who buck the automotive industry trend by remaining with the same store year after year after year. Ogilvie Subaru’s manager Tom McCullough sees his team’s role as a very unique mission. While they are constantly welcoming repeat buyers who are very familiar with the entire Subaru

line-up, a great many customers at Ogilvie’s are first-time Subaru owners. Tom and his team take the time to provide personalized tutorials on the unique aspects of Subaru’s design and adhere to another long-time Mierins tenet; no pressure sales. The new showroom is warm, open and inviting with no closed-door ‘finance box’ offices, but instead has comfortable discussion tables and where Ogilvie Subaru consultants listen and learn about their customers’ needs before making recommendations. Among the dignitaries and guests at the grand opening, was Subaru of Canada President and CEO, Mr. Shiro Ohta. He congratulated Lisa Mierins, Tom, and the Ogilvie staff and offered his company’s commitment to continue to excel and improve in 2014. His company is setting high standards, as usual. Their growth in sales over the last decade is the envy of literally every auto manufacturer around the globe. They have set records for safety awards and received prestigious

The location of the new Ogilvie Subaru couldn’t have been better picked nor planned. Just off the Queensway, it’s accessible from any area of the Ottawa/ Gatineau region. With plenty of parking and a very large state-ofthe-art service and parts centre, customers don’t have to wait for appointments or for quick routine maintenance services. And rather than a segregated waiting area, Subaru service clients are welcome to relax in VIP seating with showroom guests. A wise move on Lisa Mierins’ part, because there’s no better salesperson for Subaru than a current Subaru owner. Many industry watchers over the years have bemoaned the lack of a Canadian car. Those critics have never ridden in or driven a Subaru. If anything was built for Canada, it’s Subaru. With intelligent all-wheel drive that requires no driver input, and league-leading fuel economy and spirited performance, all wrapped up in some very stylish and functional models, it’s no wonder that more and more Canadians every year are trading in their ordinary cars for an extraordinary opportunity to live and drive the adventure that is owning a Subaru. Lisa Mierins and Tom McCullough and the entire Ogilvie Subaru team extend a warm invitation to discover what confidence in motion is all about in a way that respects their customers and their world.

Osgoode woman honoured for home care Champlain CCAC names Caregivers of the Year Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Lyn Rorke said when her son Wyatt was born there was no loud cry. Wyatt was born with a complex medical condition called bi-lateral vocal cord paralysis. That means he can’t speak and hasn’t been able to breathe on his own since birth. “It was very difficult at first because we didn’t know beforehand that there was anything wrong,” Rorke, a resident of Osgoode, said. “He tried to breathe and cry, and burst a hole in his lung, there were heart problems. He was in CHEO for the first three months of his life.” The children’s hospital worked with the Champlain Community Care Access Centre and social workers to help Rorke get roundthe-clock nurse in their home. They also provided the necessary medical equipment. Now Wyatt is two, and while his medical condition has become Rorke’s new normal, it’s still tough. The tracheotomy tube is still in and he has to sleep in a crib hooked up to monitors. He still can’t speak, so Rorke is working on learning sign language so she can teach it to him. “It’s tough because at the end of the day you’re just tuckered out, but you have to work on a new sign so you can teach your child,” Rorke

said. Rorke was named one of the Heroes in the Home, during this year’s Caregiver Awards hosted by the Champlain CCAC on April 1. A friend nominated her and she found out she was selected in January. “It was quite an honour,” she said, adding the CCAC has been great in helping her to get the equipment and care she needs for Wyatt. But his condition means he can’t go to a regular daycare and Rorke has to take him to work with her. Fortunately she works cooking and doing errands for her employer so it works out. But this winter, they have had a lonely, housebound existence. There is respite in the form of the Ottawa Rotary Home where Wyatt goes two days a month to give his mom a chance to recharge and refresh. It’s also a way for the little tyke to socialize. “It’s been too cold to go out because the trach (tracheotomy) means the air can’t warm before it goes into his lungs,” she said. “It also means every cold goes straight to his lungs. Since he started nursery school he has had eight colds and pneumonia.” When Wyatt is four, he will be eligible for a surgery that would take a piece of his rib bone and use it to stent his vocal cords and allow him to breathe on his own. But Rorke worries about the sur-

Once the surgery happens, Wyatt should be able to go to school, but Rorke said she worries about how

he will communicate. That’s why she spends so many evenings boning up on her sign language. “It’s tough but I wouldn’t trade it for the world,” she said. The Heroes in the Home Caregiver Recognition Awards are present-

ed to individuals, including family members, friends, volunteers and health care professionals, whose kindness and commitment allows many people to live full lives in their communities, despite the limitations of age, illness, or disability.

Committee is organizing a walk which will focus on its local parks. The purpose of the walk is to discuss the parks, the history of the area including Marier, Emond and Optimiste parks and the Vanier Cenotaph. A discussion will follow. “We picked parks and these in particular including the cenotaph, because we adopted these last year and we have plans to further develop Marier Park and install a perennial garden in Optimiste Park,� said Tina Delaney, committee chairwoman. “We would like to invite people to come out and discover the parks and if interested find out more about volunteering with events in the parks.� Promoting the event at a recent Vanier Community Association meeting on April 8, Dan Shipley said the Beautification Committee’s walk would be a great way to learn about the parks and what the avid gardening committee does in the neighbourhood. To kick off a weekend, organizers for this year’s event have a Jane’s Talk, Neighbourhood Narratives, event planned for at the Arts Court, 2 Daley Ave., on May 1 at 7 p.m. The night will offer the chance to learn from a group of local storytellers and experience “Ottawa in One Room,� a video by local artist Jessica Aylsworth. Walks are also taking place in the ByWard Market, the Glebe, Old Ottawa South, Heron Park, Blossom Park and Nepean among oth-

ers. There will also be some French walks available. INTERESTING WALKS TO CHECK OUT:

• Hopital Montfort Hospital: 60 Years Young: The walk will take place around the perimeter of the hospital. • The Illuminated War Walk: Stories left off the epitaphs: The walk will take participants to Ottawa’s war monuments including the Peacekeeping Memorial, the Valiants’ Memorial, and the Boer War Memorial. • UOttawa Campus Sustainability Tour: The walk will focus on the environmental infrastructure and social interaction of the university and the city, which includes the Sandy Hill area. • Centretown Garden Gems make Connection: The walk will focus on seven small gardens in Centretown. • Art Walk: The walk will take participants to four galleries in the Wellington West/ Hintonburg area. • Discovering the O-Train Multi-Use Path: This walk will take participants along the O-train path beside the OTrain through Ottawa’s Little Italy neighbourhood and will explain some of the infrastructure new to the city, some of the good and some of the bad. • La dune de sable de Pinhey: This walk will be offered twice in both English and French and will discuss the history of the dunes and its climate.

Legion honours veterans with annual luncheon By Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Community - Moments after meeting for the first time, retired sergeant Wally Turini and Warrant Officer Eric Gagnon immediately find common ground. “What part of Montreal are you from?” Gagnon asks the 96-year-old Second World War veteran. They have much more in common than sharing the same home town. The medals adorning each of their chests are evidence of this. They were honoured Tuesday along with about 100 veterans, from the Second World War and Korean War up to currently serving members, at an annual luncheon at Kanata branch 638 of the Royal Canadian Legion, Tuesday, April 15. Turini’s medals represent his time overseas blasting a Howitzer gun at German soldiers to force them out of Italy, from 1940 to 1945. He celebrated his 20th birthday in England just after the war broke out. “We were all young and tough, but they killed a lot of us,” recalls Turini, a Nepean resident who says he will never forget the sound of shrapnel narrowly missing him. “When a shell explodes, shrapnel flies all over. It whistled by my ear. But we did the same to (enemy soldiers).”

ERIN MCCRACKEN

Warrant Officer Eric Gagnon, left, and retired sergeant Wally Turini discover they share the common bonds of the same hometown and years of dedicated service with the Canadian military, including overseas conflict. Gagnon was sent to Afghanistan five times, and has several more deployments to his credit, while Turini fought as a gunner in the Second World War. About 100 veterans were honoured at an annual luncheon April 15 at the Kanata branch 638 of the Royal Canadian Legion. Gagnon’s rack of medals is from more recent conflicts, including five deployments to Afghanistan, and missions to Haiti, the Central African Republic, Bosnia and the former Yugoslavia. Much of his intelligence

work overseas is secret. Turini doesn’t know it, but Gagnon was not only inspired by veterans like him to recently become a legion branch member, but also in joining the military 24 years ago.

PET OF THE WEEK

Pet Adoptions 11-week-old Jeacquot (A166324) is ready to hop her way into your heart! This sweet little bunny is looking for her forever home. She is a very social and affectionate rabbit who likes to be around people and would love to snuggle up with you. Rabbits are smart and social creatures that make great pets and affectionate companions. Like all animals, owning a rabbit takes care, time, and responsibility.

JEACQUOT (A166324)

“Maybe part of the reason I joined (the military) was seeing the veterans at parades,” says Gagnon, who attended the luncheon with personnel from the Canadian Forces Electronic Warfare Centre at Shirley’s Bay.

“They really forged the freedoms we have today.” Today, the Kanata resident feels a sense of responsibility in bolstering the legion’s membership. Many of the branch’s members are in their 70s. “I want to carry on the tradition,” says Gagnon. “Everyone is getting older.” Despite dedicating much of his life to the military, Gagnon, 46, reluctantly considers himself a veteran like Turini, and the many other veterans who came to the luncheon from their homes in Arnprior, Carleton Place and across Ottawa, including the Pearly and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre. Though he appreciates being honoured at the special meal, Gagnon says it’s difficult to see himself in the same light as the veterans who came before him. “But I guess I am (a veteran) after the 24 years I’ve been doing it,” he says. The luncheon helps forge strong connections between currently serving military personnel and their predecessors, and ensures their experiences from their years in service won’t be forgotten, says John Cher, Kanata legion branch president. “What they’re doing today is carrying on what these veterans started years and years and years ago,” he says.

Police rescue woman from Rideau River Backseat of police car used as flotation device Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - Ottawa police rescued a woman who jumped in the Rideau River at Cummings Bridge downtown on April 14 around 9 p.m. Police officers were the first to respond and tried to

The water was flowing north, so police moved towards the St. Patrick Bridge, looking for the female and using lighting that was set up by the Ottawa fire department. She was spotted alive in the water 10 minutes later, floating towards the St. Patrick Bridge. Cst. Colin Bowie then removed the back seat of the police cruiser, which is designed by the manufacturer to be used as an emergency flo-

talk to the woman before she jumped off the bridge into the fast-moving water, said Acting Inspector Glenn Wasson. “They attempted to engage the female in conversation,� he said. “After about a minute of conversation or lack thereof, the female decided to jump into the river.�

tation device, and jumped into the water. “Cst. Bowie made a split second decision to jump into the water using the rear seat of the police cruiser and was able to save the female,â€? Wasson said. “It’s a very heroic decision that he made.â€? Getting out of the water, Bowie was assisted by two other police officers at the scene, Cst. Pat Lafrenière and Cst. Kristina Correa. They went into the water to assist

Bowie and the female, who had hypothermia. “Anytime you’re doing a rescue like that, it’s dangerous, whether the water’s moving fast or not,� Wasson said. The young woman was taken to the hospital by ambulance, where she recovered from hypothermia and was connected with medical personnel. Police would only have rescue operations like this about every two or three years, police said.

About an hour later, a female officer responded to a female threatening to jump off the Somerset Bridge, the pedestrian bridge between Colonel By Drive and the Queen Elizabeth Parkway. The officer was able to speak with the female and calm her down before the incident escalated. “It just highlights a lot of excellent work,� Wasson said. “Having two calls back-toback in such a short period is exceptional.�

Save time by filing online News - Are you putting off the annual task of filing your tax return? This year for example, why not save yourself the headache and file online? Here are a few benefits of filing online: • Filing online is fast: It cuts the processing time of your

return from up to six weeks to less than two weeks. Combine online filing with direct deposit and you could have your refund in your bank account in as little as eight days. Using direct deposit is also the quickest and easiest way to get your benefit and credit

payments. • Filing online is secure: The Canada Revenue Agency, or CRA, uses the same high level of online security that your financial institution uses to protect your banking information. • You may file online for

free: Find a list of certified online filing software and web services at www.netfile.gc.ca. The list includes free and paid options. • Filing online is simple: The certified software package does all the work for you. All you have to do is fill in the amounts, and the software does the calculations. No more worrying about missing out on credits, benefits, and deductions that you may

be eligible for. Once you’ve filled out your forms using your software program, it creates a “.taxâ€? file that you then send to the CRA through their NETFILE system. Once CRA receives the file, you’ll get a confirmation number and you’re done. • You may be able to make a payment online: If you have a balance owing, you may be able to use online banking to pay your tax bill, the same

as you would your cable bill. Talk to your financial institution about online payments. If you need help, check out www.cra.gc.ca/getready for step-by-step instructions. Also, grab a copy of last year’s return—it will serve as a reminder of where to focus as you fill out your return for 2012. News Canada

with Clean Eating and Active Living Drink to your

Greco’s Fat Loss

One of the best ways to spring cleanse is to add whole food smoothies to your day. We all know that it is important to get your 8-10 servings a day of veggies and fruits but with a busy life how do you fit it all in? Our solution…. WHOLE FOOD SMOOTHIES! Simply blend away and voila, you can easily get your daily target!

A recent study done by The International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism tested the degree that the metabolism was elevated after exercise with a group of individuals that didn’t eat breakfast and a group that did. They tested how many calories were burned, 12 and 24 hours after the aerobic workout. The results showed that the amount the metabolism was elevated after the workout was much greater both 12 and 24 hours after for the group that did eat breakfast. As well, the group that ate breakfast resulted in much more fat being used for energy rather than carbohydrates. To sum it up, pre-workout breakfast has a long-term value for fat loss. By eating breakfast, more fat will be burned during the work, and the metabolism will be elevated to a much greater degree up to 24 hours post workout.

Identity theft and payment card fraud bankroll other crimes Fraud prevention remains top priority for police and financial services News - As part of Fraud Prevention Month, the OPP says greater awareness can help prevent consumers from becoming victims of fraud through identity theft and payment cards. Typical identity theft cases include situations where government documents – such as drivers licences, health cards, SIN cards and birth certificates – have been unlawfully obtained or forged. Criminals can use your stolen identity documents to: • access your computer and email ac-

counts • access your bank accounts, open new bank accounts or transfer bank balances • apply for loans, credit cards and other goods and services • make purchases • hide their criminal activities • obtain passports or receive government benefits. According to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, there were 6,275 comaplaints of identity theft in Canada in 2013. The com-

bined financial losses exceeded $11 million. The consequences of having your identity compromised can have lasting effects on your life including potential employers, individual finances and credit ratings, and your dealings with government and other agencies. If you or someone you know has been a victim of identity or payment card fraud, contact your local police service or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Have Your Best Garden Ever in 2014 It’s no secret that a great garden starts with great soil. Soil is a source of nutrients, air and water essen al to the establishment of healthy root systems in plants; but its supply is not inďŹ nite. A neglected soil is far less likely to yield the results you are looking for in your perfect garden. Over me your soil can become nutrient deďŹ cient, compacted or thin which can make it diďŹƒcult to grow and lead to poor plant health. A great soil is rich in nutrients, pH balanced and has excellent lth, allowing for easy air and water ow. Furthermore, a great soil should also be built up enough to allow your plants’ roots plenty of room to grow deep and thus access more water and nutrients. How can you take a red, dull soil and turn it into a great soil? This can be accomplished using a number of techniques. One of the easiest ways to improve such a soil is by using an amendment or enhancer that is made up in large part of organic ma er. Soil amendments are designed to be mixed in with exis ng soils to bolster areas in need of improvement.

The ideal me to introduce organic ma er into your growing areas is in the late Fall. This allows the beneďŹ cial microorganisms in your soil more me to become ac ve before gardening season arrives. While in a perfect world we would all earmark some me for soil amending before the frost, for many of us, our ower beds are far from priority number one when the cold weather starts to set in.

mineralize the organic nutrients giving your plants more food for healthy growth. Each component in this mix contributes par cles of dierent sizes and shapes. This results in improved airow and drainage and reduces the risk of over compac on. The organicbased soil will also provide excellent water reten on; something your plants’ roots will really appreciate.

Not to worry though! Even if you missed the window last Fall, you can s ll get more out of your soil this Spring. There are great products on the market that can make a real dierence in the results you see from your garden this year, including Manderley’s Premium Lawn and Garden Soil – which can be conveniently delivered right to your driveway in an easy-to-store cubic yard bag.

Giving your best garden ever the head start it deserves isn’t rocket science. Follow these easy steps for best results: Step one - determine how much soil you need. Keep in mind that you should aim to maintain at least a 6� soil depth (pro p – top o your growing areas with 2� of soil every Fall to make up for soil loss caused by erosion, etc.). Step two - go get your soil, or be er yet, have it delivered without the mess or hassle. Step three - ll or turn over the exis ng soil in your growing areas. Step four - add in your soil mix and ensure that your beds reach the appropriate depth. It’s that easy.

Manderley’s soil mix is a 100% natural product consis ng of black earth, organic fer lizer, compost, sand and lime. The organic content in the mix is quite high, which promotes microbial ac vity in your growing area. Microorganisms will work hard to

Understanding the importance of maintaining a healthy soil is the ďŹ rst step in reaching your garden goals for 2014. By following these four steps and giving your plants proper care throughout the gardening season, you’ll be amazed at the dierence.

Library looking to offer streaming online videos Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Streaming online video could be the next thing offered by the public library. Library staff is currently researching the option of adding streaming video, like what’s available on YouTube or Netflix, to the library’s digital holdings. It would make thousands of videos, films and music albums available to anyone with an Ottawa Public Library card and a computer, smart phone or tablet device. It’s a service that’s picking up steam in the library

world thanks to companies like Hoopla Indieflix and OverDrive, said Craig Ginther, manager of technology services for the library. The Toronto Public library added Hoopla’s streaming collection to its catalogue in early April, making 10,000 films and 250,000 music albums available to its users. In Toronto, library users are limited to five Hoopla loans per month. About 130 North American cities offer the streaming service, including libraries in Hamilton, Guelph, Edmonton and Victoria. The possibility

of streaming videos was just one of the technology initiatives Ginther highlighted in his update to the library board on April 14. The library is continuously expanding its digital offerings, including the quiet launch of a French-language e-book section within the last two weeks, Ginther said. The library is hoping to better integrate its digital offerings to make it easier for library users to find what they’re looking for. Instead of having separate digital catalogues for printed books, English e-books and French e-books, the library will use

APIs (application programming interfaces) to link those overlapping systems so they can be managed and viewed as one catalogue. In the next two months, library users will also start to see user recommendations added to the online catalogue at biblioottawalibrary.ca. The recommendations will be powered through Bookish, an online, user-generated recommendation engine. Ginther said he’s also keeping his eye on how devices like Apple’s iBeacon transmitter might be used to push messages directly to the cell

phones of library users when they’re in a branch. The technology, which Ginther said is not currently used in libraries, could also be used to track which library branches and services users take advantage of. The issue of privacy and security for customers will be the top concern if Ottawa’s public library ever decides to investigate the possibility of using indoor positioning system transmitters. After the meeting board members got a sneak peek of the new “makerspace” at the Centrepointe branch, which was set to open to the public

on April 23. The centre, called Imagine Space: An American Corner, offers members of the public access to technology and tools needed to manufacture and create prototypes, products and videos. Two 3D printers, a 3D scanner, a laser cutter, a video camera and three Mac Pro computers with Adobe Creative Suite, including video editing software will be available in the makerspace thanks to a funding partnership with the U.S. embassy’s American Corners project.

to allow seniors and adults with disabilities in rural Ottawa to remain in their homes longer while living a better quality of life. Meals on Wheels is just one of the many programs that ROSSS delivers to more than 1700 clients living in the area between Metcalfe in the east and Richmond in the west. The Gala in the Gower will also benefit World Hope Canada, a Christian development agency from Kemptville that works to alleviate third world poverty. Tickets are $20 and available at ROSSS, both in Manotick and Metcalfe, at the Office Pro on Manotick Main Street, and at the Cornerstone Church in North Gower. Returning to top the bill this year will be the Village Singers, again directed by tenor Kevin Geddie. The Village Singers have chosen a “Rags to Riches – My Fair Lady” theme for their music, meaning not just tunes from the

famous stage show/movie of that title, but music about the transformations in life. The group is hard at work on their choreography, which always pleases audiences and adds so much to the music. The ever popular Manotick Brass Ensemble, led by first trumpeter Kazamir Samujlo and trombonist Martin Luce will perform popular numbers from their wide ranging repertoire. The Brass recently celebrated ten years of making great music, and will be sure to draw on past favourites to put on a special program. The audience never fails to be delighted by their humour and costumes, hats and wigs which dress up some of their lighter and more exotic pieces. The Master of Ceremonies this year will be Jason McNaught, who is the husband of show’s planning coordinator, Mary Acton-Bond and a great showman in his own right.

She’s the One, and she’ll launch her career at the RBC Bluesfest News - RBC Bluesfest organizers have announced a call for submissions for their 20th-anniversary edition of the She’s the One emerging female artist competition. The competition is a crossCanada talent search for the best in emerging Canadian female music talent. With the help of Corus Entertainment, Bluesfest is looking for promising young female Canadian singers. As part of this year’s special 20th-anniversary edition, organizers are zeroing in on the best emerging teenage female singers in Canada. “We are looking for one special young artist with an incredible voice backed up by a moving live performance,”

says She’s the One co-ordinator Ana Miura. “We already know that there’s an incredible amount of undiscovered female vocal talent in Canada,” says Bluesfest’s executive and artistic director, Mark Monahan. “This year’s She’s the One competition will not only prove it, it will go a long way to providing impetus for the career of a deserving young Canadian singer.” RBC Bluesfest is providing the She’s the One winner with a whirlwind, career-building trip to Los Angeles to work with top music producer Barrett Yeretsian (Jar of Hearts, Christina Perri). They’ll record a song at the legendary Sunset Sound Re-

News - On Friday, May 2nd and Saturday, May 3th, residents of the area can look forward to two great performances of the annual spring Manotick Musicale. On Friday evening, the “Gala in the Gower” show will be held once again at the Cornerstone Wesleyan Church, 6556 Prince of Wales Drive in North Gower. On Saturday evening, it will be at Manotick United Church, 5567 Manotick Main Street. Both shows begin at 7:30 p.m. Now in its eleventh year, the Musicale is always free flowing, joyous and lively entertainment. It is ‘professional’ in its quality, yet has the wonderful feeling of being a local, “look what we’ve got to offer” kind of show. As always, the show is being staged as a benefit fundraiser for Rural Ottawa South Support Services, ROSSS, which does so much

cording Studio and take part in a star makeover photo shoot and music tutorial prior to filming a Hollywood-style music video, courtesy of Popmania! In addition to the opportunity of a lifetime, the winner will walk away with a guitar from Daisy Rock Girl Guitars. The competition is open to female singers who are Canadian residents between the ages of 13 and 19. The deadline to apply is April 30. Submissions will be received online only. Visit www.ottawabluesfest.ca/ shes-the-one for details. Once submissions close, the top artists will be chosen and contacted to perform for the finals, which will occur at the RBC Bluesfest in Ottawa on Saturday July 5.

Signs of a pending strike upset union members News - The president for the local union representing employees at the Central East Correctional Centre (CECC) says the corrections ministry is jumping the gun and preparing for a strike - or lock-out by building on-site accommodations for managers months before contract negotiations are even set to start. Local OPSEU 368 president Chris Butsch says construction for the management accommodations began at the CECC on April 2, adding that he has no doubt whatsoever about what the construction is for. “It was confirmed to me by administration here that that’s what it’s for,” he said in an interview on Monday (April 14). The Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) announced in a press release issued on April 4 that similar construction is also being performed at other institutions in Ontario including Sudbury Jail, Central North Correctional Centre, Niagara Detention Centre, Algoma Treatment and Remand Centre, Monteith Correctional Centre, Thunder Bay Jail, Kenora Jail, Hamilton-Wentworth Detention Centre, Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre, Maplehurst Correctional Centre and Vanier Centre for Women, and is also pending at many other Ontario institutions. “Many correctional facilities are constructing housing accommodations for the sole purpose of providing temporary living quarters for managers who would be required to stay at the facilities in the event of a labour dispute,” the press release states. From the ministry perspective, representative Andrew

Morrison notes that while the provincial government values the work of those employed at correctional institutions and is “fully committed to the collective bargaining process” and coming to a fair settlement, there is still a risk of a labour disruption in any contract negotiation. “It would be irresponsible to put public safety at risk by failing to prepare for such an outcome,” he says. “In the event of a labour disruption the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services remains responsible for the health, safety and transportation of more than 8,000 inmates, as well as all of the managers and staff that would run the institutions 24 hours a day. The work being carried out at some of our correctional institutions will help the government ensure public safety.” However, according to Butsch, what really threatens public safety during a labour disruption is managers brought in from other provincial ministries who are not properly trained to run the jails. “They have no idea how to run this building and that to me is a threat to public safety,” he says. Butsch says the threat is even more prominent when the under-trained government managers are responsible for care, control and custody of inmates during their regularly-scheduled escorts into the community, like traveling to the hospital for appointments. He notes he finds it odd that the ministry position is that it would be irresponsible not to take pre-emptive action in case of a labour disruption, when they took no such action before or during previous contract negotiations. Morrison adds that there are currently several projects ongoing at the local jail, in-

cluding, “upgrades to the fire safety system/alarm, seasonal maintenance/site servicing/ HVAC upgrades, washroom upgrades and space optimization (e.g., programming or training).” But, he stopped short of including manager accommodations in the list of projects provided, and further requests for clarification and estimated costs and time lines for the construction were not answered. Morrison did say that work being done, “will also provide lasting improvements to institutions that will help us ensure the safety and security of both staff and inmates.” However the union reports the ministry is being “secretive” about the construction, adding the employer is “taking extreme measures to ensure that unionized staff are denied access to these areas.” “The current collective agreement is not due to expire until the end of December 2014,” says Dan Sidsworth, the elected representative for correctional members with the union. “This can only mean one thing: the Ministry’s intent is to ‘draw a line in the sand’ and lock out correctional officers before it even knows what issues are on the bargaining table.” Another president from local 369 in Penetanguishene, Chris Jackel adds that when managers were brought in during strike action in 2002, their biggest complaint was poor living conditions, noting, “It seems as though the Government is doing something about it this time.” OPSEU president Warren Thomas agrees, saying that he would like to see the Ministry spending money on increasing the number of inmate beds and improving working conditions at jails across the province in-

DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS / AMENDMENTS UNDER THE PLANNING ACT NOTICE OF AGRICULTURE AND RURAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE MEETING

stead of wasted on such preemptive construction. “The cost of the managers’ strike accommodations is estimated to be over $500,000,” he said. “If they took that money and invested it in their front-line staff and facilities, it would go a long way in ensuring there weren’t any future labour disputes.” As the union representative for employees at CECC, Mr. Butsch says there is often misinformation about the main concerns at issue for the workers he represents within the jail, come contract negotiation time, noting that he feels the ministry always stresses that staff are looking for increased wages. “It’s not about that, it’s about the safety of the public as a whole,” as well as that of staff members and inmates, he says. Health and safety issues, like understaffing, overcrowding - and the associated violence - as well as being equipped with the appropriate, effective safety gear rank at the top of issues employees want addressed during their contract negotiations, Mr. Butsch said.

Butsch notes that while he has not received confirmation, there is a flurry of rumours circulating around the institution that the ministry also plans to spend more money to build a secondary entrance at the back of the jail to transport in managers and supplies in case of a labour disruption. But, he adds that if it comes to workers either being locked out or walking out, they will be picketing at any entrance used at the institution. Ultimately, Butsch says the ministry is sending the wrong message to staff by essentially indicating they aren’t even interested in taking part in fair negotiations. “Morale is down because of that,” he says, noting that while the ministry’s move is discouraging for employees, it also serves to help unite them under a common cause. “Generally staff don’t want to go out on strike, but we will if it’s an important issue to us,” he says. Contract negotiations are set to begin in October, with the contract to expire in December.

Rail warning light to be added to Transitway

News - The city hopes a new flashing light reminding OC Transpo drivers of rail tracks ahead will make the Transitway safer. There is already a sign warning people of the rail crossing ahead at the site of a fatal collision that killed six people when an OC Transpo bus and Via train collided on Sept. 18. OC Transpo general manager John Manconi said the warning light isn’t being recommended due to reports of rail signal malfunctions, but it could help transit users and operators feel safer. “They said that adding the flash-

The city lowered the speed limit to 60 km/h in the fall. At the same time, trees and shrubs were removed from the area to improve visibility at the level crossing. BUSES WON’T STOP AT INACTIVE RAIL CROSSINGS

SUBMITTED

This graphic shows the location of a new flashing amber warning light that will be installed on the Transitway to remind OC Transpo drivers of the rail crossing around the curve. SIGNAL REPAIRS

At the same time, Via issued a statement advising residents they will see increased activity around rail crossings in Barrhaven as more testing and repairs take place to get to the bottom of recent high-profile signal malfunctions. Signals at the Transitway, Fallowfield Road, Woodroffe Avenue, Greenbank Road, Jockvale Road and Strandherd Road will be affected, Via said on April 16. That move followed pressure from Mayor Jim Watson and federal politicians, including Ottawa West-Nepean MP John Baird. On April 10 Via announced trains would operate at a reduced speed through those six crossings and staff would be stationed at the rail crossings to “provide supplementary support” and ensure drivers stop at the crossings.

ing light aids in improving the situation,” he said. “So yes, everything we can do to improve things in any location is a worthwhile investment.” The new sign will be placed 210 metres before the rail crossing as bus drivers are headed northbound. There is a curve in that spot, so extra emphasis is warranted, said Christopher Philip, an engineer with a consultant group the city hired called CIMA. While Philip studied different options, including trying to connect the warning light with the rail signal so that it would go off in advance of or at the same time a train approached, he concluded the best option was to have the amber light flash continuously. The situation is different in the southbound direction, Philip said. No light is needed there. “There are no factors that create a dilemma zone (in the southbound directions),” Philips said. “The two (directions) do not have to be the same.” .COM

Via and the city are also looking at whether installing cameras at rail crossings would help minimize the response time if technicians are needed. The Ottawa police have ruled out mischief or tampering as the cause of crossing malfunctions. Via had requested an investigation on April 10. SPEED

Philips also reviewed the traffic speed limit in that section of the Transitway at Fallowfield Road and concluded the city’s speed limit of 50 km/h is acceptable, even though a 60 km/h speed limit would comply with the city’s policies. Still, Philips said he could find no compelling reason to change the speed at this time, especially since the Transitway has fewer vehicles and therefore fewer opportunities for conflicts or collisions.

Over 30 Zoning Reviews will take place throughout Ottawa in 2014. Why? In 2013 City Council approved new Official Plan policies to create a more liveable Ottawa. To put these policies into action, the Zoning By-law needs to be updated. The 2014 Zoning Review will make that happen. How? Zoning affects how land can be used on both public and private properties. Things like types of housing, shops, schools, industries, as well as building heights and building densities. Things like building heights and building densities. The right zoning will make sure our streets and neighbourhoods develop in ways that encourage vibrant, liveable places for all to enjoy How will this affect me?

The report also recommends that OC Transpo buses only use fully signalled rail crossings. As a result, the city will spend between $200,000 and $400,000 to add gates to four crossings that are currently signalled only with lights: Herzberg and March roads in Kanata and Lester and McCarthy roads in the city’s south end. In Carp, the city is looking at potentially re-routing the onceweekly shopping bus, Route 203, to avoid the two unsignalized rail crossings on Carp and Donald B. Munro roads. Currently, OC Transpo policy requires drivers to stop at those crossings and open the bus door to listen for oncoming trains. OC Transpo buses regularly traverse 20 of the 75 rail crossings in the city.

The transit commission also received a report reinforcing OC Transpo’s policy of not requiring bus operators to stop at rail crossings that are not activated. The recommendation was based on a review of a 30-year-old study presented to transit commissioners at a briefing on April 9. The report from consultant MMM Group told the city it could actually expect a 17.4 per cent increase in collisions where trains hit OC Transpo buses if the city required buses to stop at all rail crossings. Factors include buses moving slower as they gear up from a stop, as well as the increased probability of stalling on the tracks.

t was a wet and long spring that year. And the winter coldness was yet to fade away to warmer days, leaving a chill in the air that seemed to penetrate our very bones. But it was lambing time, and the joy of welcoming those tiny little bodies of wool out on the farm in Northcote, took away the greyness of the season, and filled my heart with unspeakable joy. Although I never wanted to see the actual births, it wasn’t long after the deliveries that I was in the barn, leaning on the board rail of the lambing pen, watching the mothers nudge their babies, who with wobbly legs were trying, to find firm footing. That year Father was pleased with the number of lambs born in the barn, and with two or three ewes yet to give birth, everything pointed to a bit of relief from the cares of the Depression. There would be wool and meat to market, easing the constant worries of survival when poverty was all around us. When the very last ewe delivered, two tiny bodies emerged, but alas, one was as black as ink. Father who prided himself on the white wool he took to market, shook his head, and then said, “Don’t think it’s going to make it anyway... it’s just a little runt of a thing, I doubt if it will see the end of the day.” At that very moment I claimed the little black lamb for my very own. I called it Lambie most of the time, but sometimes, called it Blackie. I asked Father if I could look after it, and from then on, the little lamb and I were inseparable. I fed it milk from a little bottle belonging to one of my dolls, and to my utter joy, not only did it survive that day, and the night, but began to show signs of growing into a

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories healthy and sturdy sheep. I was too young to know that you didn’t raise domestic animals on the farm as pets. They would eventually end up at the market, or in the smoke house. Or, more than likely, I just put the thought out of my mind. Lambie and I would grow old together. And it grew, and only when I was at school or in the house, or in bed, were we apart. It followed me around the barn yard, and while it was still tiny, I carried it in my arms as if it were a little puppy. And I watched in wonder, as Lambie grew. I even hated to go off to school and leave Lambie behind. My brother Emerson thought it was pure nonsense to have a lamb as a pet. “It’s not a lamb anymore,” he said. “It’s a full grown sheep.” As if that made a whit of difference about how I felt about Lambie. It would always be a baby sheep as far as I was concerned. I remember the day everything changed. It was a cold and wet late spring day. I wondered if summer would ever come. We had to wear our rubber rain coats and rubber boots and carry our shoes with our books and lunch to the Northcote school. As we neared the house after school, I could see that Mother even had the lamps lit, and for once I didn’t go to the barn, but stayed in the cozy kitchen. And then it was supper-

time, and I still hadn’t gone to the barn to check on Lambie, sure that it would be as warm as toast on a mound of hay with all the other sheep. Our supper was ample as usual, and just as I was tucking into my bowl of apple crisp, Emerson, who had been unusually quiet all through the meal, asked me if I enjoyed my meal. Which was unusual for Emerson, because he was usually only interested in his own stomach. I assured him I did. “Well, you just ate Lambie” he said. I looked around the table. No one raised their eyes. Mother busied herself at the stove, and Father reached over and patted my hand, and told me again that we couldn’t raise farm animals as pets. Nausea swept over me like a cold wet blanket, and I ran to the privy like someone possessed. My stomach ached from being so sick and I thought I may not survive. Could anyone die from a broken heart, I wondered? The feeling of utter sadness and helplessness stayed with me long after that fateful night had passed. It was the night I vowed never again in my lifetime would I ever eat a mouthful of lamb. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

The outdoors never sounded so GOOD!

SONARRAY SR1 SYSTEM 8 Satellite Speakers 1 In-Ground Subwoofer 8 Ohm System Impedance matched for easy configuration Works with a standard AV receiver Includes 200 ft of outdoor burial speaker cable

$2788.00 LIMITED TIME OFFER!

The SONARRAY SR1 SYSTEM raises the bar of outdoor entertainment; featuring eight small satellite speakers that are evenly, yet discreetly, distributed throughout garden beds in addition to a belowground subwoofer, which disperses bass from a canopy hidden under the foliage. This results in high quality, crystal clear sound that is the perfect volume throughout the entire back yard. The SONARRAY SR1 SYSTEM eliminates problematic loud areas that can make conversation difficult while at the same time addressing quiet areas where you can barely hear the music. Due to the nature of the setup all of the speakers face inwards causing all sound to be contained within your back yard, so your neighbours will love it as well!

OTTAWA’S LARGEST

Connected to your community

NEWS

It’s time to clean up those parks and streets Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - In hopes that the snow is finally gone for good, the city announced its time to clean up those parks and streets. The city officially launched its community-based Tim Hortons Cleaning the Capital campaign at the Overbrook Community Centre on April 15. The campaign, which encourages individuals to hold clean-up events to help keep the city clean, is celebrating its 21st year, and its 10th year partnering with Tim Hortons. According to the city, last year

the campaign collected a total of 140,000 kilograms of liter from 1,400 locations with a total of 80,272 volunteers. HOW TO PARTICIPATE:

• Go to ottawa.ca, or call 311 (TTY: 613-580-2401) to register for the cleanup. The new interactive map on our website makes it easier than ever. • Select a location such as a park, roadway, ravine, shoreline, bus stop, pathway or any public area that requires litter pickup or graffiti removal.

REASONS TO PARTICIPATE:

• Volunteers who submit a final cleanup report by May 31 will be eligible for prizes. • Families and friends can work together to make Ottawa clean, green, graffiti-free and litter-free. • High school students can earn their community volunteer hours.

Students from two of Overbrook’s schools, Vinci School and Makonsag Aboriginal Head Start attended the city’s launch of Tim Hortons Cleaning the Capital campaign on April 15.
