Truck traffic and storm water rate review top AGM agenda Brian Dryden
brian.dryden@metroland.com
Ongoing concerns about truck traffic and traffic safety dominated the questions put to Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt at the Manotick Community Association annual general meeting at the Manotick Legion May 28. But for the most part, the MVCA’s AGM was a celebration of what the organization has accomplished since it was forned five
years ago, and a springboard for what the nearly 500-strong association hopes to accomplish in the future. Moffatt was the keynote speaker at the AGM, and after giving an overview of how issues that affect rural areas of Ottawa are dealt with at City Hall, almost all the questions he fielded during a question and answer period focused on truck traffic.

All set for annual Dickinson Days shindig Brian Dryden
brian.dryden@metroland.com
When you are putting on a three-day party that will bring joy to many people, there are often some headaches during the planning process that you have to deal with along the way. The main tent for the Dickinson Days festivities in Dickinson Square is not as big as organizers would have liked “thanks to the City of Ottawa,” said Kiwanis Club of Manotick secretary Rick Coates. A building permit needed to be secured for the tent structure, said Coates, adding the process of getting everything in place with the proper approvals from the city can be trying at times. “Every year there is something new, it’s just one thing after another,” he said. “It’s all about liability issues for the city.” Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt knows there were some issues between organizers and the city, but these days liability and safety issues are a paramount concern. Citing an incident at Bluesfest a few years ago when part of the stage where Cheap Trick was performing collapsed in a wind storm, he said, “it’s important that everything be done properly” and events of a certain size have to follow the approval procedures that are in place. Despite grumblings about the process of securing a staging tent for this year’s annual
Dickinson Days celebrations, now that the party is just days away it is time to put those issues to bed and start to have some fun. And fun is what the weekend of Friday, June 5, through Sunday, June 7 is all about. Manotick’s Dickinson Days celebration starts with a bang Friday evening, when a fireworks display will light up the sky after the annual Dickinson Days parade makes its way through the village. The parade starts at the Manotick Arena at 7 p.m. There will be about 30 floats in this year’s parade, about the same number as last year, said Coates. “I must say that for the firewoks Friday night, that we get a really good bang for our buck,” he said. The festivities continue on Saturday with a pancake breakfast, kids fishing derby, talent show, open houses at many of the historic buildings in Dickinson Square, Pioneer Days at Watson’s Mill, numerous activities for kids, and craft and farmer’s markets. There will also be a special evening of music at the tent in Dickinson Square organized by Terry McGovern. The three-day event concludes Sunday, with a special non-denominational church service at the tent in the Square in the morning and a triva contest in the afternoon. File For a complete list of Dickinson Days events There sounds of music will be just one of the many attractions in Dickinson Square the and times, go to www.manotick.net/dickinson- weekend of Friday, June 5, through to Sunday, June 7, as the annual Dickinson Days celdays. ebration turns the Village of Manotick into a family-friendly party zone.

Manotick fundraising concerts are music to the ears of Roger`s House The work that Roger’s House does for sick kids and their families is dear to the heart of Frank D’Addario. That is why for the sixth year in a row the business he owns will provide a stage to raise money for the paediatric residential hospice that was inspired by former hockey coach Roger Neilson. “I grew up in a poor family in Sault Ste. Marie,” said D’Addario, adding that he had relatives who had to deal with a major illness and saw firsthand the financial impact of having to go away for medical treatment on the family. “People these days don’t have that money, so I wanted to get involved and do something for the kids.” To continue to support the work done with kids and their
nity support that we get we wouldn’t be here,” said Marion Rattray, manager of the
CHEO Palliative Care Program and Roger’s House. “It’s not just the funds they give, but by having these events it shows the support we have in the community and gives emotional support to what we are doing,” Rattray said. “We certainly appreciate all the events that are held to help us.” Roger’s House is an
eight-bed paediatric residential hospice on the grounds of the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario for families with children/youth who are living with a life limiting illness. It provides a home-like environment and access to a paediatric palliative care program. Since Roger’s House opened in 2006 it has had approximately 2,300 admissions and served

more than 280 families. While there is no set fundraising goal for the charity concerts being staged in association with the Ottawa Senators Foundation at La Piazza, D’Addario said for $10 a ticket for each day is a great deal for music lovers, and the music that will be showcased runs the gamut from rock to latin and even jazz inspired pieces. ‘There is no real goal, we just try to maximize what we can raise for the kids and Roger`s House,” D’Addario said. “For people who love bands, the talent we get for $10 a day is a great deal.” The following week La Piazza will also host a golf tournament to raise funds for Roger`s House.

Students accept challenge to help others Brian Dryden
brian.dryden@metroland.com
It’s not a huge amount of money, but the funds raised by some elementary grade students at Community Christian School in Metcalfe may have a huge impact on the lives of students their own age in Africa. For about a three-week period, students in Grades 1 to 3 at the school hired themselves out to do chores for a fee – such as making their bed for 25 cents, folding and putting away laundry for $1 and cleaning their room for $2 - and then the money collected was donated through the World Vision organization to help furnish a classroom in Africa. “We had a guest speaker (at the school) challenge our students to show God’s love to other people,” Community Christian School Principal Rick Dykstra explained of how the effort by the students got started.
After being challenged, the fundraising goal of the students at the outset was $200. But Dykstra said the effort by the students actually brought in $300, which allowed them to not only furnish a classroom, but also get supplies for students and put money towards water filters for a school in Africa. “They wanted to help some children go to school that might otherwise not be able to do so and they knew that by hiring themselves out to do chores that that may take away from the money they would normally get as allowance at home,” Dykstra said. So after weeks of doing the dishes, taking out the garbage and other household chores, the students, whose fundraising project was overseen by teacher Sarah Schinkel, not only accomplished their goal but also have a reason to be proud of themselves, said Dykstra. “They feel good that they could help others,” he said.

When the Greely Community Association gets together for its annual general meeting on June 10 at the Greely Community Centre at 7 p.m., some local political
heavyweights will be on hand to meet with residents of the community and answer questions. Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson and Osgoode Ward councillor George Darouze will attend to represent the City of Ottawa. They will be joined
by federal Employment Minister and MP Pierre Poilievre and provincial MPP Lisa McLeod. “Each of them will have a few minutes to say a few words and then take some questions,” said GCA president Bruce Brayman. “I will
moderate the Q&A, keep the questions on point.” Although the community association at this time has very few members, Brayman hopes such a star powered line up at the GCA’s AGM will give the association a higher profile in the
community. “There are still a lot of people that don’t even know we exist,” he said. Brayman is optimistic that with a renewed effort to make a splash in the community, the GCA will start to attract more members this year.

While many questioned whether there has been any real impact on truck flow through the Village since the new Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge opened a year ago, Moffatt said city studies indicate there has been a decrease of about 25 per cent. “There isn’t any short term solutions,” Moffatt said. “We have seen a reduction, but we need to go further.” MVCA president Klaus Beltzner said what is needed is a truck route

City must insist on place at table
C
ity council needs to begin exerting more pressure on the federal government, and especially local Conservative MPs, to be forthcoming on plans that affect Ottawa, or change the way it approaches the relationship with the power brokers on Parliament Hill. It’s never easy for organizations to act without accurate information, and the city, as an organization, has been placed in a difficult position lately by actions taken by the federal government. The proposed communism memorial and the construction of a Via Rail siding in Riverside Park are two recent examples of the federal government, directly and through a Crown corporation, passing on the opportunity to work in collaboration with the city. Despite objections from, among others, the city, the federal government is moving ahead with plans to build a memorial to the victims of communism in front of the Supreme Court. The city argues that it hasn’t been consulted on the plans, and while it’s fair to point out that there’s nothing forcing the federal government to talk to anyone about the me-
morial, that hasn’t always been the case in the past. In Riverside Park, Via Rail began construction of a new siding earlier this month, to the surprise of residents and the local councillor. The project is part of the Crown corporation’s response to the safety concerns raised by the Barrhaven bus crash of 2013, but the only notice was a vague line item in a report released last year. Once again, Via controls the property and isn’t under any obligation to consult anyone on the project. It should be disconcerting to those at city hall that no one at the federal level felt the need to talk to the city about these projects. As a result, councillors should be making every effort to push MPs, top federal bureaucrats and Crown executives to include the city in relevant planning processes. If these efforts fail, however, the city will need to start changing assumptions on what to expect from the federal government. Such a move would be a sad indictment of relations between two bodies that need to coexist, but at some point, the city can no longer assume it has a partner acting in good faith.

Profiting on the irritation of others
T
hings seemed to work all right when organizations like Canada Post and Air Canada didn’t worry about making money. They were Crown corporations and their main objective was to serve the public. That was a long time ago. True, Canada Post is still a Crown corporation, but making money, or not losing it, and has long since overpowered public service in its strategic plan. Air Canada is no longer a Crown corporation and you sort of wish it was. Because this is what you get: a company that charges you for your checked baggage and doesn’t provide enough room for carry-on. People, being the way they are, have been trying to figure out ways to game the system ever since the

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town charges for checked baggage began. Their carry-ons got bigger, the wrestling for overhead bins increased, as did the irritation inside the planes. What to do about it? The people at Air Canada met (you imagine) and decided to measure carry-on baggage and require that those items that didn’t fit to be checked. More irritation, more confusion. And it seemed to occur to no one that all of this could have been avoided by simply not charging for checked baggage.

Want people to check their baggage? Don’t charge for it. Duh. To make matters more complicated, the overhead bins in smaller plans don’t easily accommodate carry-on bags. And to make matters even more complicated, people whose carry-on did meet the requirements were sometimes urged, at the gate, to check their carry-ons, as there was not enough room in the plane, and they could check those bags for free. Then they got on planes with not enough leg room and shoulder room and got charged for not very good food. Air Canada, we are told, is making record profits. Perhaps it could do with less and help the customers out a bit.

Instead of delivering the mail, they would dig up people’s front lawns, install community mailboxes on them, let people park in front of those front lawns and drop unwanted flyers on them. This would allow Canada Post to cut costs and put letter carriers out of work. It could be worse, of course. If Air Canada was in charge of Canada Post, people would be asked to pay to have community mailboxes on their lawns. If Canada Post was in charge of Air Canada, planes would land at the same airport and if it didn’t happen to be in your city you could take consolation in the fact this was doing great things for the bottom line.

The city also wants to go digital when it comes to good governance. It has set aside funds to focus on encouraging better public engagement in the planning process, which includes reaching out on social media. The seven priority areas are: economic prosperity, transportation and mobility, sustainable environmental services, healthy and caring communities, service excellence, governance, planning and decision-making and financial sustainability. The strategic initiatives draft will be presented to the finance and economic development committee on June 2. It will be considered at the standing committees throughout the month of June before it goes to council this summer.
COMMUNITY news
The public now has its first glimpse of how the city plans to spend $37.5 million left out of the budget to fund strategic initiatives over the next four years. As it’s a new term of council, the city must refresh its priorities to align with the will of the newly-elected mayor and councillors. But there wasn’t time before the budget was approved,
There’s also $11.6 million for pathway links. Much of the roadwork identified in Phase 1 of the transportation master plan is expected to get done, and preparation for stage two of the city’s light-rail plans will also get support. Environmental sustainability was one of the city’s identified priorities; as such, the air quality management plan will get $1.5 million in capital funding and the energy management and investment strategy another $4 million. Tree planting across the city will see a small funding increase for operations each year as well. “Service excellence” initiatives will largely focus on upgrading technology to better serve clients, including installing a new facilities and program booking service.

the city has made room for some aesthetic improvements to make sure Ottawa looks its best when everyone arrives. There’s $850,000 for renewal of the ByWard and Parkdale markets and Sparks Street mall, and Queen and Rideau streets will both get funding for streetscape renewal to dovetail with the opening of the light-rail system. Arenas and community centres could also apply for facelifts with $4.1 million in funding for the recreation major/minor capital partnership, and another $6.9 million for parks and recreation facility upgrades. On the transportation side, the city has designated $11.2 million over four years for pedestrian and road safety enhancements and another $420,000 for cycling safety improvements.

so a pot of money was set aside. Few of the funded initiatives come as a surprise. Things like the water rate structure review and the city’s economic development strategy have already been set in motion in anticipation they would get funded. The mayor was also clear that the city’s 10-year housing and homelessness plan would get a $2 million annual bump to $16 million – something he campaigned on last October – and it was expected that some money would be set aside to help Ottawa celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary in 2017. The draft earmarks $5.3 million extra between now and 2017 for the year-long program. With that big birthday party comes many tourists, and

McGuinty’s private member’s bill targets federal partisan ads Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Partisan advertising has no place in the federal government, according to the Ottawa South Liberal MP whose private member’s bill, which would ban the practice and create an independent oversight commissioner, is scheduled for second reading in the House of Commons on June 1. Ads like the YouTube video that Minister of Employment and Social Development, Nepean-Carleton Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre produced to promote the government’s Universal Child Care Benefit are a prime example of advertising that promotes the Conservative party, said David McGuinty. “When I first saw the video I was very, very disappointed because it indicated to me how far Mr. Harper’s government has fallen in terms of their respect for taxpayer dollars,” he said of what he called a “vanity video.” “I did not think it could fall any lower in terms of using public resources to enhance their brand – the Conservative party brand – in Canadian society.”
WEEK IN REVIEW Saturday, May 23 – Friday, May 29 It’s wonderful to see so much activity in our Community and I’m happy to have the opportunity to stop by each and every event when my schedule allows. Whether it’s a garage sale, pancake breakfast, bbq, community picnic or fundraiser it is great to see so much community spirit. This past weekend was no different and for those of you who follow me on twitter and on facebook you can see how much goes on in Osgoode Ward! This past week there were only two committee meetings and they were City Council and Audit Subcommittee. If ever you’d like more information about agendas or minutes please visit www.ottawa.ca and you will find the links as well as audio podcasts for certain committees. I will also do my best to highlight important items worth noting for rural residents in my weekly newsletter.
the department said “Modern government communications requires the capacity to work in a 24/7 environment.” “Occasionally, communications staff are required to work overtime to support government communications activities.” Employees working overtime to film video is done “under rare circumstances,” it said. Compensation for overtime is covered under the collective bargaining agreement and postproduction of the video was done during regular working hours, the department said. McGuinty, however, said Poilievre’s video is just the latest in a series of partisan ads that the Conservative government has spent at least $760 million on in the last nine years, beginning with the promotion of its Economic Action Plan. This includes 9,800 blue billboards at a cost of $30 million, said McGuinty, who learned of the cost through an access to information request. There are very few rules dictating the parameters around federal government advertising that portrays political party colours, among other party features, and those that are in place are lax, leading to “obscene
spending,” he said. There is, however, nothing wrong with a political party using partisan advertising as long as the party covers the bill, said McGuinty. THE BILL
McGuinty’s private member’s bill calls for: • Creating an independent advertising commissioner within the Office of the Auditor General • All forms of advertising be subject to the commissioner’s approval • No politician be allowed to associate in any way with government advertising • Government ads to not be associated with party colours • Measures that have not received parliamentary approval to not be advertised With enough political will, McGuinty said his bill could pass third reading before the House rises in the third week of June, helping to save tens of millions of dollars a year.

Thank you to St. Mary’s school for inviting me to participate in the Fun Fair on Thursday. It was great fun and I was pleased to see so many students and their families having a great evening. Earlier in the afternoon I had the chance to play a fun game of soccer at Lansdowne field as I participated in a Media VS City Hall match. What a beautiful facility we have here in Ottawa. It was an awesome experience!
Winning seats in the federal election this fall is fuelling the release of these ads, but it is a pattern that started almost a decade ago, McGuinty said, reason why he introduced his bill, dubbed the Elimination of Partisan Government Advertising Act, two years ago. But Poilievre defended the video posted on Employment and Social Development Canada’s YouTube channel on May 8. “The Liberals don’t like us communicating with Canadians about the Enhanced Universal Child Care Benefit because they will take it away,” he said in an statement emailed to Metroland Media. “In 2015, our Government will make no apologies for using innovative ways to inform Canadians of the terrific enhanced benefits to which they are entitled.” His department said its creative production team is responsible for video and photography in support of external and employee communications. This particular video was produced in-house over a twohour period on April 26. When asked if the video was paid for with taxpayer funds,
On Friday, we opened the new OSU parking lot along Mitch Owens. This has been a long overdue project and I know it will make it easier for soccer players and their families for games and practices. Thank you to OSU for their perseverance in getting this project completed.

St. Mark High School students visit the Berlin Wall during a trip to Europe to mark the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the Netherlands. Morse was one of a handful of students selected for a private tour of Anne Frank House with the prime minister’s wife, Laureen Harper. “We got to see inside Otto Frank’s study where Anne Frank would spend her time with her father which isn’t actually open to the public,” said Morse. “Before I went in there I didn’t realize why people were so enthralled with the story of Anne Frank but then I realized that was all documented from a normal girl’s perspective.” The participants of the trip
were each given a Canadian solider to research and then submit a written component about the person they studied. They visited the graves of the soldiers at the Groesbeek Canadian War Cemetery May 4 in the Netherlands. It is the final resting place to over 2,000 Canadians. Veterans and their family members, the Veterans Affairs Minister Erin O’Toole and Laureen Harper, attended the memorial. “It was a very sad experience knowing this person had died in the war, especially my soldier, he had a child while

A group of senior level St. Mark Catholic High School students and their teacher prove history lives on after visiting the Netherlands and Germany to participate in celebrations honouring the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the Dutch from the Nazi regime. Canadians share a special history with Netherlands; over 100,000 Canadian troops participated in a nine month long campaign to liberate the Netherlands with over 7,000 Canadian causalities. “I was really genuinely honoured to participate (in the celebrations) ... and with these kids,” said Heather Bain, she attended the excursion with the students and is the head of the Contemporary Studies Department at St. Mark Catholic High School. “It was really special for me to see them go through this process.” The students toured the Netherlands and Germany from May 1- May 9 and were able to participate in a memorial ceremony, visit a concentration camp and interact with Canadian Second World War veterans. Beyond the sombre moments the trip was filled with liberation celebrations and enactments as well as a stop in Berlin. Grade 12 student Max
Jews there … my grandmother’s father said, ‘“If you are willing to risk your whole family … then I’m willing to risk that barn.’” Mulder, Morse and Bain all agree that after learning about and as they said, feeling like they knew their soldiers personally, the ceremony at Groesbeek was emotional, especially since they were participating in the ceremony with veterans who might not be alive for the next big anniversary. “It was very moving,” said Morse. “The ceremony right before that had some of group moved to tears just from the weight of it all.” Each student placed a candle, Canadian flag and a laminated copy of their write-up at their assigned soldiers’ grave. “Some of them (the Canadian veterans) were very eager to talk to the kids and they had some incredible moments with these guys,” said Bain. “The veterans were so grateful … that the youth are trying to hold on to these things, that it’s not just going away.”

In 2012, I launched the Order of Ottawa to celebrate the extraordinary contributions of some of Ottawa’s most distinguished residents. Each year, up to 15 worthy recipients are recognized for making our city a better place in which to live. This prestigious civic award recognizes exceptional contributions in the many areas of city life, including arts and culture, business, philanthropy, health care, education, public service, labour, communications and media, science, sports, entertainment or other fields of endeavour that benefit the citizens of Ottawa. I believe that it is important that we take the time to recognize those who do outstanding work in our city; by showing them that their dedication and hard work is being noticed, they are emboldened to continue to push harder and reach greater heights. The group selected each year are role models to those inside and outside their respective fields, and inspire others to work towards making Ottawa a better place in which to live.

$1M gift boosts Canadian, Ottawa stem cell research Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Stem cell research in Canada and at the Ottawa Hospital’s General campus recently received a $1-million boost. Sandra Henderson, senior vice-president of BMO Financial Group’s eastern Ontario division, and Tim Kluke, president and chief executive officer of the Ottawa Hospital Foundation, unveiled a plaque at the General campus on May 21 marking the new name of regenerative medicine scientist Dr. Duncan Stewart’s lab as the BMO Financial Group Laboratory in honour of the bank’s financial contribution. Recipients say the money will go a long way to supporting the work of researchers at the hospital, who are credited with many world firsts in stem cell research, including the use of stem cells for post-heart attack repair – which Stewart and his team are working on – as well as a world-first trial in septic shock and work being done on stiff person’s syndrome. “It’s a really special day,” said Kluke, adding the funds will support the hospital’s $50million research campaign. “Your support is really a key cornerstone of that campaign and our success,” he said. “We hope to raise $15 million for regenerative medicine.” The $1-million investment includes a $500,000 donation to the Ottawa Hospital’s Regenerative Medicine Program at the General campus’ Sinclair Centre, and $500,000 to the Canadian Stem Cell Foundation, of which $250,000 will go to the hospital’s Regenerative Medicine Program for new research initiatives and $250,000 will help fund the stem
cell foundation’s research activities across Canada. “By Canadian standards, that’s probably one of the largest corporate gifts specifically directed to stem cell research in regenerative medicine in the country,” said James Price, president and chief executive officer of the Canadian Stem Cell Foundation, which works with research centres all across the country. Canada is a leader in stem cell research, just as the Ottawa Hospital is, he said. Stem cells were first discovered by Canadian scientists 50 years ago, and over the past 40 years, Canada has made some of the most significant research advancements, such as in the specialty areas of neuro, skin, retinal and muscle stem cells. “So Canada has really punched well above its weight and is really something we as Canadians can be proud of,” Price said, adding the country is well positioned for the next wave of research advancements. “It’s really an exciting time where it’s moving into clinical practice,” Price said, noting that one of the pioneers in the field is the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute. The million-dollar gift is about “investing in the future,” said Henderson with BMO. “And that’s why research for us is something that we’re interested in. “As the generations go on, it’s important for us to give back to the people we work with, we live with, who are in our communities.” The Ottawa Hospital’s Regenerative Medicine Program has 250 scientists, research staff and trainees working at the Sinclair Centre for Regenerative Medicine and the Sprott Centre for Stem Cell Research, where important discoveries are being made in the development of new therapies for devastating diseases.

the money will go to logistical costs, and will be dedicated to all the stops in Ottawa, not just the downtown or Canada Day celebrations. “That will give us the ability to do sort of everything: advertise, staging, banners and sound systems, and just the logistic costs of hosting a large event,” Watson said. “Anywhere the torch goes ... we’ll make sure we have the necessary infrastructure to welcome the torch and make sure the ceremony goes off without a hitch.” The torch relay will end in Toronto on July 10 for opening ceremonies of the games. On June 30, the torch will be at Ottawa city hall and then on Sparks Street for a celebration. Canada Day will see the torch at the large downtown celebrations as well as Canada Day events in Kanata and Barrhaven.

If you ask the numerous ringette players who have played ringette in the past 50 years what ringette is all about, the top three answers would be teamwork, fun and Parade • Farmer’s Market friendships.

Ride for her in support of ovarian cancer Submitted
Ride for her in support of ovarian cancer kicks off on Saturday, June 6.
The day begins at 8:00 a.m. with registration and breakfast at the Moncion’s Independent Grocer. Next, the ride takes participants along the Ottawa River and arrives back at Emerald Links in Greely, for lunch and a celebration to the riders, for creating awareness and raising funds for Ovarian Cancer Ottawa. This year in Canada, 2,600 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Every year 1,750 women in Canada will die from ovarian cancer. “We need to educate our community on the signs and symptoms of this deadly disease. Once diagnosed, women have a 30 per cent
chance of surviving. We have to find a means for early detection to stop this disease,” said Cheryl Ozen, Business In Motions owner and event coordinator. Moncion’s Independent Grocer, in partnership with a variety of local sponsors and Ovarian Cancer Canada is holding this charity fundraiser. “With so much of an outpouring of support from our communities and sponsors, this 2nd annual event is promising to be a great success. We are so excited to see this event grow each year and have our community come together for a great cause,” said Ozen. “We are calling out for more support to raise funds and awareness for this important cause.” Motorcyclists are invited to join the ride.

Corner store zoning aims to ‘stop the hemorrhage’ Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com
Just as the city is trying to create walkable, complete neighbourhoods, the very stores that make them so are disappearing. A zoning amendment initiated by the city aims to buck that trend while also adding new opportunities for microretail to pop up in urban residential neighbourhoods. Right now, 70 small businesses across the urban core are considered ‘legal non-
conforming’ – so if the store owner ever closes up shop, a new business is not allowed to open up in the same spot. But a zoning amendment passed at planning committee on May 26 will permanently allow those commercial uses to stay by creating a new ‘residential neighbourhood commercial’ subzone in parts of College, RideauVanier, Rideau-Rockcliffe, Somerset, Kitchissippi, River, Capital and Alta Vista wards. It will allow businesses
like convenience stores, artist studios, medical offices and grocery stores to set up inside residential neighbourhoods, which in turn will create healthier, more complete communities, staff said. The businesses would have to include at least one residential unit and would be restricted to 100 square metres on the ground floor or basement of the building. They also wouldn’t be allowed to offer parking. Staff have also proposed a second subzone called
Neighbourhood Commercial, found inside local commercial areas to allow neighbourhood services like animal hospitals, banks, day cares or a private school. Overall, a total of 510 properties, some with commercial uses already and others not, would be rezoned in one of the two new subzones. While councillors were generally supportive of the plan, Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury and Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper each
has a number of vacant parcels, he said, and is slated for an in-depth planning study through the Hintonburg Community Association and Wellington West BIA. He said community groups want to expand the opportunities for micro-retail beyond what the city’s bylaw suggests, so it makes sense to wait. “It is a significant opportunity in our community to create potentially some incubation space for funky new businesses,” he said.
passed motions to remove parts of their wards from the changes. In Fleury’s case, he asked to remove Osgoode Street in Sunday Hill because the neighbourhood is already well served by commercial areas on King Edward and Laurier avenues. “We don’t want to dilute those main streets,” he said. Leiper’s motion put a hold on rezoning the handful of properties along Armstrong Street in Hintonburg until it can be better studied. The Hintonburg back road

The Canadian Military Wives Choir is getting ready to perform in the International Military Tattoo.
Area choir to participate in international event Submitted
The Canadian Military Wives Choir has been invited to participate in the Canadian International Military Tattoo. The tattoo highlights performances from military musical groups from around the world, and this year is taking place on May 30 and 31 at the FirstOntario Centre in Hamilton. The choir, which practices regularly in Stittsville, began less than two years ago based
on the tremendous success of the Military Wives Choir movement in the United Kingdom. In this short amount of time the group has grown from 14 to 54 military spouses and has participated in numerous events including a touching performance in the Senate during the National Day of Honour to mark the end of Canada’s mission in Afghanistan. The tattoo will give the choir their largest live performance to date.

Aunt Lizzie keeps thrilling Mother with special gifts
M
other never got over Aunt Lizzie taking it upon herself to have my long red ringlets cut off on one of her yearly visits out to our farm in Northcote. She had taken me into Renfrew, which in itself wasn’t that unusual. She often hitched up Queenie to the buggy and headed into town, as she said, “to break the monotony” of her week visiting her homestead, and I was usually invited to go with her. But that trip confirmed
MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories in Mother’s view that Aunt Lizzie couldn’t be trusted to take me off the farm without a fair warning that under no condition was she to take me to a beauty shop and have my hair trimmed, as Aunt Lizzie

called it. It certainly wasn’t trimmed -- it was bobbed, and even though I was thrilled to be rid of the ringlets, Mother was as upset as she would be had I lost an arm or a leg. So the next summer when Aunt Lizzie had again arrived from Regina, after about three days, she was starting to get the fidgets. I knew she was ready for a trip into Renfrew. Ordering everyone within earshot, she sent me upstairs to change my clothes, sent Everett to the barn to bring out Queenie, and told Emerson to get the buggy out of the drive shed. Mother shot her a glance
that was a warning in itself: “stay away from the beauty parlour with Mary.” A whole year had passed, and my ringlets were a long way from being back to the length they were before what Mother called “Aunt Lizzie’s sticking her nose in where it didn’t belong.”It was a warm sunny day when we headed into Renfrew, and I was beside myself with anticipation because Aunt Lizzie, I knew, would be buying me a treat. It could be anything from storebought underwear, to new hair ribbons. Of course we would have to stop at Ritza’s Drug Store first, so that Aunt Lizzie could visit with one of the clerks who had gone to school with her. And then we headed up Raglan Street and into Walker’s Store, the biggest store in Renfrew. Aunt Lizzie went in like she owned the place, and the clerks knew they could count on a good sale, and they swarmed over
us like bees looking for blossoms. We headed right for the silk stocking counter. The one with the long glass leg upside down, where the stockings were checked when sold to make sure there were no snags or flaws. Well! Was I in for a surprise. She ordered the clerk to pick out a pair of her shortest silk stockings, and without asking the price or anything, handed me the little brown paper bag. “Now you have your very own silk stockings,” she cooed. I was thunderstruck. I would have settled for a little pair of ankle socks with lace around the cuffs like Marguerite wore to the Northcote School. But silk stockings? Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine owning silk stockings at six years of age. My sister Audrey, who was much older than I was, just got her first silk stockings for her 16th birthday.

When we got back to the farm, and Mother saw what Aunt Lizzie had bought me, she was only slightly less pleased than when I had my ringlets cut off. She told me to put them right upstairs in my washstand drawer for safekeeping. But I begged her to let me keep them with me until after supper. I sat through the entire meal with the little brown bag in front of my plate, and endured sneers from my brother Emerson who said when I wore them; they would probably come up to my armpits. He was right, of course. They were ladies stockings, but just owning a pair of silk stockings was enough for me. “She’ll grow into them,” Aunt Lizzie said. “Ya, when she’s ready to get married ... if anyone will have her,” I heard Emerson say under his breath. Well, eventually it was time for Aunt Lizzie to board the CPR train in Renfrew and head back out to Regina. I even took the little brown bag with the silk stockings to the train just to show Aunt Lizzie how thrilled I was. Back on the farm, and days later, the joy of owning something I couldn’t wear started to fester. I knew the stockings would fit Audrey, but I wasn’t generous enough to just hand them over to her. I asked her if she would like to buy them, and she could have them cheap. She tore upstairs to her drawer and brought down her hankie where she had tied in the corner all the money she owned. She counted out 12 cents. And then I remembered all the times Audrey helped with my homework, sang to me at night in bed, protected me in the dark, and walked out to the outhouse with me when I was frightened. I picked up a big round brown penny and handed her the paper bag with the silk stockings in it. I figured it was a good trade. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Lola the escape artist
W
e’re gettin’ older, that is for sure. My doctor put me on B12 shots once a month because my body isn’t absorbing vitamins properly. I guess I could have been eating French fries for lunch every day instead of trying to eat healthy, for all the effect it had. The Farmer follows the male tradition of not consuming anything but coffee until noon. If he is working outside, he doesn’t eat lunch on time either. And he seems to think if you drink water you will only get thirstier. I would like him to live to a ripe old age, so I normally whisk down to the kitchen and whip him up a breakfast sandwich before he heads out to the barn on weekends. Weekdays, however, are a different story. I couldn’t get him to eat anything before leaving for the
DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife office. Then we started watching Downton Abbey. “I wouldn’t mind breakfast in bed,” he announced one day. So I toasted him some special sourdough raisin bread that a friend found for us and instead of spreading it with English marmalade, slathered it with crunchy peanut butter, for protein. The first day, he ate two slices. The second, just one. By the third day our bed was so full of toast crumbs I put a kybosh on the whole campaign. What was I thinking? The final three cows finally had their babes, one right
after the other. The Farmer put one set in the barn and then took off on a real estate journey to Peterborough, without informing me. I went out to the barnyard in the morning and counted twelve head of cattle. That’s what we have. Eleven cows and one bull. I thought it a bit strange that the Farmer had decided to let the most recent mother out with the general population so soon after giving birth. Normally we lock them up in the stable for close to a week while they bond with their young.
StOP URgENt WAStiNg NOtiCE YOUR mONEY! iF:
I counted the babies and only found seven. We had seven the week before. Where was the new number eight? I gave up and waited a few hours. Went back out in the afternoon. Again, only seven calves could be found. They napped together in a puddle of fur beside the stone fence, a cow kindergarten watched over by one mother while the rest of the cattle grazed. I started to worry about the missing calf. As the sun went down I walked the perimeter of the pasture, looking for a newborn calf tucked into the thorn bushes. Nothing. Finally the Farmer came home. “The new calf is in the barn, of course,” he said calmly. “Well its mother is outside!” I announced. The poor baby had been locked up all day without anything to eat or drink. Lola, an apparent escape artist, was new
at this whole child-rearing thing and decided she would rather be out in the meadow with her crew than locked up with her young. The Farmer opened the door to the barn and the new mama walked back in, defeated. The next day, she broke out again. Again, the door swung shut behind her, locking her calf in. On the third day, the Farmer put an iron gate across the door for additional reinforcement. By sunset she had it shoved to the side and had escaped once again. Then another cow gave birth. At last Lola had company in the barn and for the last few days of her lock-up, she stayed put. The bull has proven his mettle. Earned his bull badge. He impregnated all eleven cows. Not his fault that one calf was too big and died in child-
birth. We have ten beautiful, healthy calves, most of them male. Only one or two of them needed selenium to help them with the suckling instinct. None of them needed to be bottle fed. It’s been quite a success. The Farmer is celebrating the good season by spending hours every day on his tractor, pulling his new red manure spreader over his fields. By the end of each day his clothing is so rank he has to peel it off and leave it on the porch because I won’t allow it in the house unless it’s going straight into the washer. Come to think of it, maybe those weren’t all toast crumbs in the bed. I am going to look into installing an outdoor shower. theaccidentalfarmwife. blogspot dianafisher1@gmail.com
