City rural committee meetings removed from rural areas Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

The travelling roadshow for the city’s agriculture and rural affairs committee is over. City council has voted to end a practice that dates back to amalgamation in 2001 which saw the committee hold some of its meetings in rural communities around the city in order to encourage rural residents to participate in civic affairs without having to travel downtown.

LOOK INSIDE FOR YOUR

But the meetings have become an unexpected barrier for some residents, rural councillors say, and they hope finding a new, central location for them outside downtown might make it easier for residents from all reaches of the city to attend. The problem, said Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt, was that it was impossible to match up the issues the committee would be considering on a certain date with the meeting location to which they pertain.

CANADIAN TIRE FLYER

R0013044005-1211

The meetings need to be booked in advance, long before the committee’s co-ordinators made up the agendas, which are often driven by legislative deadlines for land-use planning decisions. That challenge resulted in residents from West Carleton having to attend meetings in Rideau-Goulbourn and other areas of the city to talk about an issue important to them. See ARAC ,page 11

North Gower facility could become Gerry Lines Bowling Alley Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

There are very few recreation facilities in the village of North Gower that haven’t benefitted from the tireless work of Gerry Lines. The long-time resident died in March, and residents were quick to attribute his years of effort to the reason North Gower has a community centre, a bowling alley and even some baseball diamonds. And now his grandson wants to honour those efforts by renaming the local lanes Gerry Lines Bowling Alley. Marlborough Pub owner Jason Moore submitted his commemorative naming

proposal to the city in November, and residents have until Dec. 30 to provide feedback on the change. Moore is positive residents will support his request. “People say it’s a no-brainer,” he said. “I can remember at his funeral, someone said if it wasn’t for Gerry Lines we wouldn’t have a community centre.”Since the recreation complex is already named for Alfred Taylor, Moore thought the bowling alley would be a good fit. Lines bowled in the local league for more than 20 years, Moore said, and he fundraised tirelessly to bring the current facility to the community in the 1970s. He was so involved, Moore said,

Lines even laid the first brick for the building. But the community centre was Lines’ crowning glory. In the 1970s, Lines was an active member of the building committee for the new community centre, spearheading the fundraising for the design and construction. The complex opened in 1981, with Lines at the front cutting the ribbon. He managed the complex as president of the North Gower Community Centre Board, a position he held for 11 years. During that time, he led the board in managing the community centre, the ball diamond, boys’ and girls’ ball teams as well as the outdoor arena and hockey. Over the years, he was also instrumental in the development and construction of various recreational

facilities, including the North Gower ball diamond, a soccer and football field and a neighbourhood playground. “Everything he did in his spare time revolved around the community,” said Moore. Moore’s father – Lines’ son in law – even remembers Lines from his own childhood, flooding the neighbourhood rink and making sure there were sticks and pucks available for skaters. Moore grew up with Lines providing an excellent example of citizenship – something for which he was awarded by Prime Minister Brian Mulroney in 1988 – and Moore tries to parrot that in his own work running the Marlborough Pub. “I’ve got big shoes to fill,” he said. “Obviously with my business partner

Steve Moffatt, anything we can do to support local community we do it.” According to the city’s policy, a commemorative name honours individuals who have demonstrated excellence, courage or exceptional service to the citizens of Ottawa, Ontario or Canada; provided extensive community service; worked to foster equality and reduce discrimination; made a significant financial contribution to a park or facility, or who has historical significant to the community. Any member of the public or city council may submit a name for consideration. Comments and feedback can be sent to Diane Blais in the city clerk’s office at namingottawa@ottawa.ca or by phone at 613-580-2424 ext. 28091.

Trustees to vote on boundary changes Revision would send some Riverside South students to Barrhaven instead of Manotick Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Staff are recommending some Riverside South students be directed to Barrhaven instead of Manotick beginning next year. Planners for the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board will ask the board of trustees on Dec. 16 to approve a plan to divert some new students away from Steve MacLean Public School and Manotick Public Schools, which are already at or above capacity. Students who live south of Earl Armstrong Drive and west of Limebank Road would be directed to Farley Mowat Public School in Barrhaven beginning next September, instead of to Manotick. Students in this area would continue to feed to

Kars on the Rideau Public School for grades 7 and 8. Students living east of Limebank would be directed to the new elementary school in Findlay Creek once it opens in 2017, taking pressure off Steve MacLean which already has eight portables and little room to expand. The change only affects new students; current students who live in these areas don’t have to change schools if they don’t want to. But younger siblings will be directed to the new schools, so families can apply to have older children moved so they can all be together, staff said. There was little feedback from the public on the issue; a staff report said only 28 people attended four consultations held across the city throughout October and November. “The public consultation meetings were poorly attended with little feedback received,” the report said. “Part of the lack of input can be attributed to the nature of the consultation. The proposed boundary revisions were straightforward, with little contro-

versy involved.” At a meeting held at Farley Mowat on Oct. 23, parents agreed it’s logical to take advantage of the new bridge over the Rideau River to ease overcrowding at neighbourhood schools. The Barrhaven school is currently slightly below capacity, with student population expected to decrease somewhat in the next few years, according to staff, who estimated the change would direct between 15 and 20 students to the school in 2015. These kinds of minor boundary revisions are underway across the entire city, with recommendations for Orleans, Nepean, Barrhaven and West Carleton all on the table alongside the changes in Riverside South. Staff added another recommendation at the last minute – after getting feedback from another school in West Carleton – to keep middle French immersion students at Longfields Davidson Heights Secondary School throughout Grades 7 to 12, instead of sending them back to John McCrae Secondary School after Grade 8. West Carleton’s middle French immersion students will also stay at Earl of March instead of going back to West Carleton Secondary School after finishing Grade 8. “They don’t have as much transition,” said OCDSB planner Megan Faraday. “It makes sense for them to stay.”

David Chernushenko, second from left, and Mayor Jim Watson, left, open Ottawa’s third refrigerated outdoor skating rink, the Skating Court, at Lansdowne Park on Dec. 2. The rink, which is directly east of Aberdeen Pavilion, will remain open until March 2015, weather permitting. Aberdeen Pavilion was home to one of Ottawa’s earliest community rinks, and Chernushenko said this new court will carry on the tradition of skating in the park. The court is open for free daily from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. There is a heated changing facility on site.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rush the ribbon cutting

he city saw two rushed openings of new projects on the last weekend of November. Why the need to cut ribbons on a new recreation complex or a bridge in late November instead of a week or two later? Clearly the answer is that the outgoing councillors want to claim they saw the project through to completion. The urge to get a name on a plaque has overwhelmed the common sense both Steve Desroches and Maria McRae generally exhibited during their years as councillors for Gloucester-South Nepean and Rivers wards respectively. It is farcical to â&#x20AC;&#x153;openâ&#x20AC;? things that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really finished. Cutting a ribbon and then calling the construction crews back in the next day is silliness. Perhaps part of the problem is the sense of attachment politicians often feel associated with infrastructure projects they have championed, sometimes over the entire course of their elected term in office. But politicians should also allow a healthy dose of common sense to take hold, and trust that their

efforts on behalf of whatever project will be recognized when they are unveiled to the public. The Minto Recreation Centre in Barrhaven isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really open. Sure, the doors are unlocked but the building is not finished. Only one of two ice surfaces is operating and you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take a dip in the pool, which may not be open until January. If part of a building is usable, it makes sense to open the doors and let residents use whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s available. It does not make sense to make proclamations about a completed project. Further east, the pedestrian crossing above the busy Airport Parkway is available for people to use, but landscaping continues, including some heavy equipment that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mesh quite so well with people on foot. A new rec centre in Barrhaven is a good idea. The pedestrian bridge over the parkway is a good idea. And if they are finished after a councillor leaves office, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a valued piece of infrastructure. But save the ribbons.

Catholic trustees silence inexcusable

ll of a sudden school boards have become media punching bags â&#x20AC;&#x201C; deservedly so, in a lot of ways. There has been no end of scandal and dispute surrounding Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school board in recent years. Now Ottawa has entered the spotlight, with an argument over the unavailability of Catholic board trustees to speak to the media on a controversial issue. Now, there is nothing new about public officials ducking the media â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or being ordered to do so. There have been complaints for years that federal public servants, especially scientists, are being muzzled by the government.

trustees are not talking to the media, they are not talking to the people. Simply put, it is appalling that the people are being denied the ability to hear the voices of those they elect. Understandably, the recent scuffles, both here and elsewhere, have led to suggestions that local school boards should be abolished. It is pointed out that boards already exercise considerably less power than they used to: decisions about funding new schools are made at the provincial level; so are decisions about teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; salaries, class size and other important matters. So why not, the argument goes, simply abolish the local boards and save a whole bunch of taxpayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; money? The question almost answers itself.

Many of the most crucial decisions school boards have to make are intensely local. Which neighbourhood school is going to have the enrichment program? Which school is going to be a French immersion centre? What students are going to be allowed to cross boundaries to take advantage of special programs? And what about school closures, the decisions that most dramatically affect children, parents and neighbourhoods? It is difficult, to say the least, to imagine those decisions being made anywhere else but locally. To have such decisions made properly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not that they always are â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they have to be made locally. They have to be made with consideration for local impact.

Inkerman Rockets history captured on DVD Joseph Morin joe.morin@metroland.com

Sometimes when people are having a great time they create a bit of history that resonates for a lifetime. The team members of the legendary and revered Inkerman Rockets have done just that. From 1942 to 1952 the group of young men led by Lloyd Laporte, their teacher, brought their brand of exciting and inspired hockey to fans throughout the Ottawa Valley. Along the way the team came up against great hockey teams such as the Halifax St. Mary’s and the Montreal Junior Canadiens. They played head to head against future NHL greats such as Dickie Moore. They took on the Montreal Junior Royals and the Quebec Citadels, facing off against the legendary Jean Beleveau. Veteran film producer, director and writer, Samantha Armstrong, the daughter of Percy Armstrong, a former Inkerman Rocket forward, has finished a documentary about the Rockets that has been in her head and in the history books for all of these years. The result is a labour of love appreciated by former player the hockey community in general and fans of the Inkerman Rockets. Armstrong has woven personal interviews with former Rocket fans and players with actual hockey footage from the Hockey Hall of Fame, the NHL and National Film Board. The 71-minute video paints an accurate picture of the trials and tribulations as well as all of the success of the small

This is a photo of the 1946 version of the legendary Inkerman Rockets. That year they were the Junior Citizen Shield champions as well as the C.O.V.L.

Absent is J. Hume. team from even smaller Inkerman hamlet just south of Winchester. “I started doing this in 1997,” explained Armstrong. “I had talked to Dad about doing a documentary. It was always a great story and I grew up with it,” she said. Armstrong remembers that the story and aura around the local hockey team always seemed to have an air of mystery about it. “There are lots of stories and I wanted to catch as many of them as I could,” she said. In 1997, Percy Armstrong called his daughter in Toronto

to tell her that Lloyd Laporte, the driving force behind he Inkerman Rockets was failing. Laporte was the team’s founder, coach, manager and biggest fan. If she wanted to see him he suggested she do it sooner than later. Armstrong went off to interview Laporte in 1997 and the foundation of the story of the Inkerman Rockets was laid. Years later Armstrong would be able to add the stories and memories of many of the players to the film documentary until late 2013 when she was finally able to finish it.

The end result captures the feeling of gratitude and respect the players have for Laporte who gave them all a chance to be part of something bigger than themselves. Players came from everywhere just to have a chance to play with the legendary Inkerman Rockets. There were players from Vernon, Russell, Perth and Kemptville. There were also requests to join the team from all over the Ottawa Valley. The team was made up of area farm boys with a range of hockey skills. One thing they all had in common was that they loved

to play hockey. Leo Boivin went on to play for the Boston Bruins and is a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame. Perth’s Floyd Smith also played with Inkerman Rockets before heading off on his own NHL career. Percy Armstrong, father of Samantha, lives in Winchester and at 85 has great memories of his time with the Rockets. He played with them from 1944 through to 1949. “I do not know what else I would have done. I may not have played at all except for Lloyd,” he said. “We all loved playing hockey and Lloyd loved hockey so we all kind of knit together,” said Percy. “We all got along together.” The documentary includes chats with the likes of Brian McFarlane and former Rocket team members. McFarlane himself played for a while with the Rockets. His parents like the idea of their son playing for the team and getting an education at the same time in Winchester. “It is not just hockey history,” said Samantha, “it is Canadian history.” She described the players who were regarded as perpetual underdogs but ironically they usually triumphed over the better financed and highly talented other teams in their league. The team’s success has been documented, but how it became so formidable has always been a mystery. “Lloyd would get them exhibition games. The teams they played were always stronger.” The theory for many is that having to play outside their comfort zone allowed the players to grow

their skills and become stronger. Armstrong also said she felt that with the Second World War just ending, communities wanted to be part of something positive. The team played in a much different time than any team today. There was a brass band that played at the arenas during games and when train travel was required fans would join the Rockets as they made their way to the next match in Prescott, Perth or Smiths Falls, or if they were lucky, all the way to Ottawa. There are hundreds of former Inkerman Rocket fans sprinkled throughout the Ottawa Valley who grew up with the excitement, respect and enthusiasm for hometown hockey that has been replaced by the modern day hockey industry. “I did not really know how good they were,” said Samantha. “How famous they were and how strongly they bonded.” Lloyd Laporte was a great coach and how well the players responded to him was what made their success possible. “When they get together they are like kids again,” she said. It is important to note, she added, that all of the team members went on to productive and successful lives being contributors to their community “Lloyd set a really good example for the boys,” she said.

Spaghetti dinner scoops up $7,600 for youth programs Spaghetti dinner scoops up $7,600 for youth prgrams Manotick News staff

Manotick youth can enjoy weekly drop-ins a little while longer after a spaghetti dinner fundraiser brought in nearly $8,000 to keep the program aﬂoat. The Youth of Manotick Association (YOMA) has been offering regular activities for local youth for more than a year, primarily through Friday night drop-ins that range from movie nights to cooking classes to ﬁeld trips and cater to anyone in the area aged 12 to 17. So far, the youth group has re-

lied on grant money and donations to keep the programs running – it costs as much as $1,000 a month – but money was quickly running out, according to group founder Janice Domaratzki. “We did not have enough funds to carry us through the winter months,” said Domaratzki, who added that even as money ran low attendance was getting ever higher. “ Our participant numbers are increasing, so we are thrilled that the youth are able to continue planning and coming out to the drop-ins.” About $3,000 of the windfall came from ticket sales to the community dinner the youth hosted at the Manotick legion on Friday, Nov. 28. The sell-out event attracted people from across the community to taste the YOMA executives’ homemade spaghetti sauce and get in on the si-

lent auction, which included tickets to see teen heartthrob band One Direction in Ottawa next year. The rest of the money came in the form of a donation from RBC Dominion Securities, amounting to $4,600. The money will help cover the rental costs for ﬁnding accessible locations around town, and will help pay for two youth workers who provide non-parental supervision and are also available to answer questions and chat with the teenagers. On Friday night, pots were boiling and sauce was bubbling as guests poured in for a fun night out – and organizers set up extra tables and chairs to accommodate the line-ups. “It was quite amazing how many people showed up from the community. I was just expecting friends and family of YOMA kids, but no way - we had people from all walks,” Domaratzki said. Mayor Jim Watson was a guest of honour, winning over hearts when he went back for second helpings and doubled his support of the fundraiser when he purchased a second

meal ticket. He spoke with YOMA volunteers about their experience with the program, and later cited YOMA as the sort of community-driven program that makes him proud to support. Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre also spoke favourably of the community’s efforts to provide a safe, inclusive and socially accepting environment that helps support local and area youth in building positive relationships, experiencing new opportunities and connecting them to their community. YOMA’s ultimate goal is to secure a permanent youth centre, which would offer youth social programs,

preventative programs, intervention services, life skills development and leadership opportunities. “I’m hopeful that the arena change room expansion and subsequent second floor expansion will be part of the 2015-2016 capital budget and that we get that moving,” Domaratzki said. Watson and Poilievre also voiced their support for the change room expansion, which would create additional space on the second floor of the arena building. Right now YOMA uses whatever space they can find, toting their games and supplies around in plastic bins. For more information about YOMA visit facebook.com/youthofmanotick.

ARAC meetings to be held in a central location this term “If you look at the last meeting ... it was in Bearbrook, but there were no items related to that area,” Moffatt said. “That’s half the battle. (Residents) get there and they are angry that we made them drive all that way. “We’re creating our own problem (because) they are so frustrated that they drove so far, they are already on edge,” he said. The change was made as part of a city governance review that looked at the committee structure and how decisions are made. But the review did not specify where or when the ARAC meetings are to take place in the future – something that was intentionally left open-ended to ensure the committee’s future chairperson has the flexibility to choose the best option or make a change if the selected location isn’t working, said West-Carleton March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry. The committee’s former chairman, Doug Thompson, retired from his role as Osgoode councillor at the end of the council term last week. There is a general consensus among the five rural councillors that Ben Franklin Place is the best location for the meetings because it is geographically central and it offers free parking. El-Chantiry said he’d like to see the meetings continue to be held in the evening. El-Chantiry suggested it might be worthwhile to look at holding other committee meetings in the evening, too, to increase

access for the public to participate. That change would not only save the city money on facility and audio-visual equipment rentals, it would also mean audio from ARAC meetings could be broadcast live on ottawa.ca, which is done for the rest of the committees. It also wouldn’t prevent the committee chairperson from holding special meetings on topics of intense local interest in the location they pertain to, ElChantiry said.

“We’re creating our own problem (because) they are so frustrated that they drove so far, they are already on edge.” COUN. SCOTT MOFFATT

During the Dec. 2 city council meeting, Moffatt was successful in his bid to get the issue of development charges added to the committee’s mandate. There is also a minor change to issues arising from the “open mike” sessions, which allow residents to come speak for five minutes on any topic. Any action resulting from issues brought up in that portion of the meeting must be a notice of motion from a committee member to be discussed at a future meeting. GOVERNANCE CHANGES

Other changes under consideration in the governance review include reducing the

number of scheduled meetings for three bodies: the transit commission, the environment committee and the community and protective services committee. Councillors, in particular Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans, questioned a move to reduce the number of scheduled meetings for those groups from between nine and 15 to eight annually. Deans, who led the transit commission in the last term and previously chaired community and protective services, was successful in asking city council to refer the meeting-reduction proposal to the first meeting of each of those committees in order to receive comments from the public. During the Dec. 2. city council meeting, councillors also voted to adjust the value for gifts they have to publically disclose. The gift registry benchmark was set at $30 for gifts from one source during a calendar year since the registry’s creation two years ago, but it was proposed to rise to $150 after the governance review. Newly minted Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Tobi Nussbaum was uncomfortable with the change and suggested raising the limit by less, to a $100 total annually and city council agreed. The limit is still $30 for tickets to events. City councillors will no longer be able to put their names on things like speed signs if the items are purchased with their office budgets.City council also decided to have committee chairs and vice-chairs appointed for the entire fourterm term of council, with a mid-term review.

IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT Notice of Intention to Designate The City of Ottawa on November 26, 2014 established its intention to designate the Hartin Hotel, 1993 Robertson Road under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value.

Description of Property The Hartin Hotel, 3817 Richmond Road, is a two-storey limestone building, built circa 1871 and located at the junction of Old Richmond Road and Robertson Road in Bell’s Corners.

Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest The Hartin Hotel’s cultural heritage value lies in it physical value as a good example of rural, classically-inspired hotel. Features of the building that make it a good example of its type include the symmetrical facade with side gable roof and dressed limestone construction with decorative stone quoins and voussoirs. The Hartin Hotel has historical value for its association with the devastating Carleton County Fire of August 1870. It was built by David Hartin on the site of his father-in-law’s tavern that had been destroyed by the ﬁre. Hartin was a prominent local businessman who owned several properties including the hotel in Bell’s Corners, two mills, and the Goodwood Hall Farm (now known as the David Hartin House) in Goulbourn Township. The Hartin Hotel has contextual value for its location at the junction of Old Richmond Road and Robertson Road. As the ﬁrst of three hotels located at the advantageous midway point between Richmond and Ottawa, it offered a stopping place and services for farmers and their horses. Its location played an intrinsic part in the development of Bell’s Corners and contributes to an understanding of the area’s evolution from a rural, agricultural community, to a thriving suburb of Ottawa.

Objections Any person wishing to object to this designation may do so by letter, outlining the reasons for the objection and any other relevant information. This letter must be received by the Clerk of the City of Ottawa either by registered mail or personally delivered within 30 days of the publication of this notice. When a notice of objection has been received, the Council of the City of Ottawa will refer the matter to the Conservation Review Board for a Hearing and a Report.

Eight new councillors sworn in Timmy’s-sponsored ceremony marks start of city’s ‘most productive and exciting’ term: Mayor Jim Watson Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

The new city council was sworn in for what will be the most “historic, productive, decisive and exciting” years in the city’s history, Mayor Jim Watson said during the Dec. 1 inaugural ceremony. Watson took the declaration of office, which was administered by

justice of the peace Louise Logue, followed by eight new and 15 returning councillors, during a ceremony held at Centrepointe Theatre. Whoops and cheers went up from the crowd as each councillor’s name was called. Cheers were particularly loud for the new Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish, who was celebrating his 29th birthday during the swearingin; for Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney, the first openly queer woman elected to Ottawa council; and for returning Beacon HillCyrville Coun. Tim Tierney, whose friends and family held up signs spelling out his name.

Clad in the chain of office and a ceremonial crimson robe with fur trim, Watson gave his second inaugural address as mayor of the amalgamated city. This term, Watson said, will be defined by lightrail transit. Construction of the first phase of the LRT line will be completed by 2018 – the end of this term of council – and will be the single largest infrastructure project in the city since the Rideau Canal was built. “We know that this opportunity is a result of the hard work of those who have come before us,” he told a crowd of several hundred friends, loved ones and campaign workers who gathered in the theatre to celebrate. “Today, we are emboldened by the strong mandate we have been provided to forge our city’s transportation future.” Watson said the next phase of LRT, which would see the O-Train system expanded east, south and west with 35 kilometres of new light rail, will be approached with the same “balance and pragmatism” that has served the city well during

ects aimed at making Ottawa a bolder, innovative and more dynamic capital, Watson said in his speech. A redevelopment and expansion of Arts Court, the construction of the Bayview Innovation Centre and perhaps even a new central library will solidify the capital’s reputation as a place to “learn and create,” the mayor said. Watson said he wants those qualities to be on full display in 2017, when all eyes will be on Ottawa as Canada celebrates its 150th anniversary. The event calendar for those celebrations is already filling up and Watson said he hopes to add the Grey Cup, the JUNO Awards and an NHL Outdoor Game to the list. Watson quoted former OttawaCarleton MP and National Capital Commission chairwoman Jean Pigott, who said the capital should be considered every Canadian’s second hometown. Ottawa needs to be as welcoming to tourists as it is for its own population, the mayor said. The capital needs to present itself as a “dynamic, innovative and proud” city. “Over the next four years, we’ll show them just who we are,” Watson said. “In doing so, we will change the way the world sees our city.” The evening also included musical presentations from OrKIDstra, the Mezzanine String Quartet and the Canterbury High School Chamber Chorus. The national anthem was performed by Angelique Francis. Tim Horton’s again sponsored the refreshments for the reception following the ceremony, saving the city $15,000, Watson said.

Privately owned rink, training facility planned for Leitrim Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A new privately owned ice rink and recreational centre where teams and individuals can hone their skills on the ice and in the gym is in the works to set up shop in Leitrim in 2015. The proposed two-storey, 2,500-square-metre facility at 2600 Leitrim Rd. just west of Albion Road, known as Amped Sports Lab and Ice Complex, will feature a fitness gym, therapy, meeting and changing rooms and a training ice rink measuring 20 by 37 metres – half the size of a regular ice surface. Athletes of all ages will be able to train on and off the ice as a team or as individuals and participate in various workshops to develop their motor skills and nutrition and provide specific instruction on such topics as goalie development. Weight training will be offered, as well as a skating treadmill and a physiotherapy clinic. The ice will be primarily used for hockey, and, to a lesser degree, ringette. “It’s partly driven by a shortage of ice, but partly driven by a shortage of, really, a facility that can provide a destination for kids to go and have access to a variety of different tools to help them create a healthier lifestyle,” said Andrew Creese, a partner in the enterprise with fellow Riverside South resident Jordan Burgess, a physiotherapist. They also have a

minority partner in the company of the same name, Amped, which ties in with what the partners hope to accomplish. “We’re looking to amplify your sports proficiency,” said Creese. “I anticipate it’ll get shortened to Amped: ‘I’m going to Amped,’ that type of thing. And it creates a destination.” The site control plan paperwork is now before the city’s planning and growth management department, and pending approval, possibly at the end of January, construction could begin in March or April to allow the complex to open next fall. Creese and Burgess are hoping the doors will open in September. They have been involved as coaches and hockey dads in local minor hockey for years, and launched their company in June. One of the challenges was in finding the right location in south Ottawa that would serve people living within a 15-minute drive. Located on almost three hectares in Leitrim, north of Findlay Creek, the complex is designed to service nearby communities as well as Metcalfe, Greely, Riverside South, Barrhaven and Manotick. “Most of the youth in the southeast part of Ottawa, in Findlay Creek and Riverside South, play at Fred Barrett Arena, and it’s under tremendous pressure,” said former GloucesterSouth Nepean councillor Steve Desroches, who helped the business partners navigate the application process with the city.

Santa’s real – and he works at Billings Bridge Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

There’s no doubt Santa Claus is a busy guy, so it’s good thing he can rely on helpers like Al Page to make sure kids get a glimpse of the northern saint in the lead-up to Christmas. Page, who hails from Greely, is one of Santa’s most faithful employees – and for 27 years, a valued employee at Billings Bridge shopping mall, where every year he visits with thousands of people leading up to Christmas Day. But Page is not just some run-ofthe-mill mall Santa cycling through as many kids as humanly possible in a cheap polyester costume. For all intents and purposes, Page is Santa. From the $4,000 custom-made suit – complete with hand-carved candy cane crook and Father Christmas cloak lined with real lamb’s wool – to his North Pole suspenders and blinged-out gold Santa necklace that the kids don’t even see, Page has made sure he looks the part for the approximately 7,000 visitors he sees

over the season. But more than dressing up like Santa, Page embodies the spirit of the famed giver of gifts. Patient, thoughtful and empathetic, Page takes his time with every child. If possible, he makes sure he knows a little something about them beforehand so he can surprise them with a happy birthday or ask them about that trip they’ll be taking over the holidays. “Once they stop believing in Christmas the magic kind of disappears,” Page said. “So ... give me something about them so I can save Christmas for one more year.” Page started to take his role as Santa seriously nearly thirty years ago, after he had been asked a few times to visit some community parties in the Greely area. “I said, you know what, I really enjoyed that, I want to keep doing it,” he said. But it’s the children’s eyes that keep him coming back. “It’s total belief. You know they’re believing in you and you have to do all you can to keep that

Emma Jackson/Metroland

Santa Claus, known to his family as Al Page, passes treats to children on his way to his private quarters inside Billings Bridge shopping mall on Dec. 1. Page has been visiting with children at the mall every Christmas for 27 year. magic alive,” he said. He started out taking vacation a few days a week to sit in Santa’s chair in the middle of the mall, beginning in 1988. By the early 90s, management wanted him six days a week – and then they asked for Saturday nights. By the time he retired from his day job in 1997, the mall was preparing to add Sundays to his schedule, too. Now he works seven hours a day for 40 days straight, starting the Sat-

urday after Remembrance Day and continuing until Christmas Eve. Last year he saw an average of 29.5 children an hour. And he doesn’t just see kids at the mall, either. From flying to Toronto for 500person private parties to visiting the Chrétien family at 24 Sussex Dr. on Christmas Eve, Santa Page has done it all. He’s climbed to the roof of the Chateau Laurier to check out the famous hotel’s chimney, and one time

he even took the reins for Ottawa’s annual Help Santa Toy Parade downtown. Every year he receives long lists from children outlining their Christmas wishes. Page makes an effort to diffuse the commercialism by asking what the children like to read. And sometimes kids come to him with wishes he couldn’t grant even if he tried. “Teenagers come in and say, ‘Feed the hungry, stop the wars,’” Page said. “Why are they asking me this? When they were kids they went to Santa and they got the response they wanted. Maybe it’s a fallback to their youth.” One year, a little girl in the foster system gave Page a start when she requested he bring her some “parents to love me.” Another child asked him to bring her deceased father back for Christmas dinner, so he could see they were doing ok. “I said ‘It’s not a problem, because your dad’s up there looking down on you,’” Page said. “He’s here with you, believe me.” And they do. Kids who visited him year after year in the 1990s are now bringing their own children to the mall to see the Santa they still believe in. “When the kids come in, they recognize me and I recognize them,” Page said.

Marguerite gives angelic performance for Northcote audience

ifestyle - The Northcote School was packed, and the smell of felt insoles, galoshes, and gum rubbers, propped against a log by the wood stove filled the room. It was the yearly Christmas concert. The desks had been stacked and moved to the front of the room, and planks brought in and either ends placed on chairs for seating. What was left of the Christmas tree decorations made for a sorry sight. Miss Crosby had us make 18 popcorn balls the day before (that’s how many students there were), and they were strung on string with a large darning needle, and circled the limbs of the big tree propped in the corner. Sadly, the mice had eaten every last popcorn ball during the night, and all that was left was the string, and the few ropes of red and green chain paper, also made by the pupils. Underneath were the pres-

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories ents each pupil brought for the person whose name he had drawn the week before ... and of course, we each had brought a present for Miss Crosby too. The concert had been rehearsed daily for a month, and if we didn’t know our lines by the night of the concert it wasn’t the teacher’s fault! And every last one of us had a part whether you wanted it or not. Emerson and Cecil would have much preferred being part of the audience, but Miss Crosby was having none of that! As usual, bad Marguerite was an angel, and I was a sheep … again!

Marguerite even had wings made by her mother ... gossamer affairs that somehow were attached to the long white dress she wore, and she flitted around the stage in her white stockinged feet and with her newly permed Shirley Temple curls bobbing on her head like sausages on springs. My sister Audrey and the Briscoe twins opened the concert after Miss Crosby blew into a little whistle that gave them the proper note to start on. Their voices filled the school, and I could see Mother and Mrs. Briscoe wipe their eyes with the corner of their hankies.

Then there was the one act play, and it seemed to me we acted out the same one every year. It was called “Who Salted the Soup?” The only thing different was the cast, which changed from Christmas concert to Christmas concert. Both Emerson and Cecil had parts in the play and I held my breath for its entire duration; but their performance went off without a hitch, much to everyone’s relief. Then Audrey and the twins sang a few more carols, this time much better than their first effort, since they were now used to the dim light and with one performance under their belts.All the time they were singing, Miss Smartypants was hopping around the stage with her wings flapping and her face cast to the ceiling, trying her best to look like an angel. I thought she looked like a white chicken scanning the stage for a place to light!

But I couldn’t say a word, or move from my place, where, as a sheep, I was to keep my eyes on the manger and the doll borrowed from my friend Joyce Frances’ large collection. Miss Crosby had given us explicit instructions not to move off the stage when the concert ended. We were to stay in our positions, and she would say a few words to the audience, thank everyone for coming, and as happened every year, as if by magic, as soon as she finished, the school door flew open, and in rushed Santa Claus. Only then could we leave the stage and go to sit on the two front planks. Well, that’s when all hell broke loose. Miss Perfect, bound to be the first off the stage, as soon as Santa roared into the school with his “Ho, Ho’ Ho’s”, Marguerite made a dive to lead the parade from the makeshift stage, which was just a platform borrowed from the United Church, her foot

caught on the tail of her dress, and she slid off the stage like a ship being launched from a dock! Her wings were under her, and hadn’t Miss Crosby made a grab for her, she would have slid right into the front row of planks. Santa Claus never missed a beat, ignored the heap on the floor, and headed right for the tree, ready to hand out the presents.It was a pretty quiet Marguerite we saw for the rest of the night. My brother Emerson, on the way home in the flat-bottomed sleigh after the evening was over, said he’d bet his last dollar that she wouldn’t be the angel in the next Christmas concert. I thought if she didn’t grow too much, maybe Miss Crosby could put her in the crib, and she could be baby Jesus. That way she would have to stay perfectly still for the entire evening, and not move a muscle. Somehow, I couldn’t picture her in the role.

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

Legacy Gift will generate $42.2 MILLION for CHEO over next 100 years Weldon Cochrane was an Ottawa chartered accountant and partner with the accounting firm of Coopers and Lybrand (now PriceWaterhouseCoopers) and was also the Treasurer on the CHEO Foundation Board. Mr. Cochrane had an appreciation for the importance of leaving a legacy and understood how to make an impact when he decided to made a gift in his Will to CHEO. He left the residual of his estate with instructions for it to be endowed; meaning that the capital would be preserved in perpetuity and the annual interest would be used to fund the important work at CHEO. When Mr. Cochrane died in 1985 the CHEO Foundation received $540,000

from his estate and established the Weldon Cochrane Endowment Fund as directed in his Will. Much has happened and changed at CHEO since his death and in that time his legacy gift has grown to $4.6 million.

(20%) will be reinvested bringing the total value of the fund to $6.2 million. In 50 years $15 million (80%) will go to the hospital and $3.8 million (20%) will be reinvested bringing the total value of the fund to $8.4

As CHEO marks its 40th anniversary this year, we look back and honour not only those in our community who made our local children’s hospital a reality, but also donors like Mr. Cochrane who made children a priority. Why not honour what is most important to you during your lifetime The impact of Mr. Cochrane’s generous gift is probably beyond what by considering a gift in Will to CHEO. Our he could have even imagined when he made it over 30 years ago. children, youth and families deserve to Moving forward 80 percent of the interest million. In 100 years $42.2 million (80%) will always have excellent health care, to benefit generated from this fund will be invested in go to the hospital and $10.6 million (20%) from lifesaving research and be provided medical equipment, research and hospital will be reinvested bringing the total value with the support programs to live happy and healthy lives now and forever. programs at CHEO.

In 25 years $6.4 million a difference in the lives of young patients (80%) will go to the hospital and $1.6 million at CHEO today, and for future generations.

IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT

Notice of Intention to Designate The City of Ottawa, on November 26, 2014, established its intention to designate the Magee House, 78 Lisgar Street, under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value.

Notice of Intention to Designate The City of Ottawa, on November 26, 2014, established its intention to designate the Snowdon House, 66 Lisgar Street, under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value.

The Magee House is a large two-and-a-half-storey red brick structure built in 1895 and located at the north end of the Centretown neighbourhood.

Description of Property The Snowdon House is a two-and-a-half-storey red brick structure built in 1891 and located at the north end of the Centretown neighbourhood.

Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest The Snowdon House’s cultural heritage value lies in its being an excellent example of the Queen Anne Revival style popular at the end of the 19th century and frequently used for the houses of the wealthy. Typical of the Queen Anne Revival, the building features an elaborate slate roof, an irregular plan with projecting bays, a truncated hipped roof, and a rich profusion of wooden details including carved bracketed bargeboards, shingles in the gable end, and a dentilled cornice. It is one of a pair of Queen Anne Revival houses on Lisgar Street (66 and 78) owned by members of the Magee family. The Snowdon House also has cultural heritage value as one of an enclave of houses in this part of Centretown constructed for members of Ottawa’s elite. In 1891, upon their marriage, the Reverend J.M Snowdon and his wife Caroline, moved into the house, the ownership of which was transferred from her father. The house remained in their family ownership until Reverend Snowdon’s death in 1956. Snowdon was the long-time rector of St. George’s Anglican Church on Metcalfe Street and a prominent member of the Anglican Church of Canada. He became an archdeacon in 1920 and remained involved in the church after he retired. The house has had a number of functions since 1956, including ofﬁces and the headquarters of the Navy League of Canada.

Objections Any person wishing to object to this designation may do so by letter, outlining the reasons for the objection and any other relevant information. This letter must be received by the Clerk of the City of Ottawa either by registered mail or personally delivered within 30 days of the publication of this notice. When a notice of objection has been received, the Council of the City of Ottawa will refer the matter to the Conservation Review Board for a Hearing and a Report.

Manotick News - Thursday, December 11, 2014

Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or interest The Magee House’s cultural heritage value lies in its being an excellent example of the Queen Anne Revival style popular at the end of the 19th century and frequently used for the houses of the wealthy. It was designed by Toronto architect Matthew Sheard and, typical of the Queen Anne Revival, features an irregular plan with a cross gable roof, projecting bays, and a rich profusion of wooden details including carved bracketed bargeboards, shingles in the gable end, and a dentilled cornice. The building also features a rich assortment of window types, a two storey gabled bay with decorative bargeboard, and two chimneys with brick details that are repeated in the string courses. It is one of a pair of Queen Anne Revival houses on Lisgar Street (66 and 78) owned by members of the Magee family. The Magee House’s cultural heritage value also lies in its association with Charles Magee, a prominent Ottawa businessman. Magee was born in Ottawa in 1840 and started his career in the dry goods business. In 1871 he became the sole trustee of the Sparks Estate, and eventually became a large landholder, selling his lots as the city developed. He founded the Bank of Ottawa and served as a city councillor and as a member of many boards. Magee moved to this house after creating a lot from a previous house directly to the south and building a new house on it, adjacent to his daughter’s house next door at 66 Lisgar Street. The Magee House also has cultural heritage value as HMCS Bytown, the Naval Ofﬁcers’ Mess since 1943 when it was purchased from Frederick Magee, Charles’ son.

Secondary plan meeting attracts small crowd Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

About 90 people came out to the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority for the city’s second ofﬁcial consultation on Manotick’s secondary plan on Nov. 29.

The plan is meant to define a long-term vision for the community in a variety of areas, from land use to walkability to traffic and parking. The plan hasn’t been updated since the city amalgamated in 2001. Feedback from the first

R0013042046

public meeting in the spring was analyzed by a consultant, who helped city planners tweak their proposals and move ahead on issues that got strong responses, according to city planner Rose Kung, who is leading the process. She said connectivity has always been a major sticking point for residents, who would like to see more sidewalks and pathways in the village – and the necessary links to make them useful. Trafﬁc on Bridge Street also continues to be a concern, and Kung said some residents want trafﬁc calming measures on the thoroughfare that would make it more pedestrian-friendly. That preference has been growing since a new seniors’ residence opened on Bridge just east of Manotick Main Street. Kung said she was very happy with the meeting’s turnout, which had residents dropping in at the last minute to talk to planners. But there is long-standing

PET OF THE WEEK

skepticism in the community that the secondary plan will successfully protect the character of the rural village, after it failed to support residents in their fight against the Minto Mahogany development in the mid-2000s. That time around, Kung said the plan’s land use maps were vague and didn’t clearly define specific lots and their zoning. “Now we have a land use plan that’s based on more detailed mapping,” Kung said. “The mapping now you see exactly where the lots are and the colours are so we’ll be better able to zone those properties to reflect the land use.” Kung expects the next public meeting to take place in the spring of 2015, with a draft secondary plan proposal heading to council hopefully before the summer. Information about the secondary plan process can be found at ottawa.ca. Feedback can be sent to rose.kung@ottawa.ca.

Residents were also invited to fill out information sheets to provide their feedback on the plan.

Pet Adoptions

CHUCK ID#A174494

Meet Chuck (ID#A174494), a sweet three-year-old kitty who is seeking a forever home with you. Chuck will chirp and purr at you for love and attention. He’s a very active kitty who enjoys chasing around his friends in the cat condos at the Ottawa Humane Society so he’d do well in a home with other kitties. Chuck loves to play with feather toys and balls and to look out the windows of his condo at all the people passing by. For more information on Big Ben and all our adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd. Check out our website at ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

Rescue and Investigation Services agents allege Tyson’s owner got very mad after the young German shepherd ran away from home and tied him to a moving truck as punishment. You were right beside our agents while his rescue was underway. And again when OHS veterinary staff helped heal his paws and back which were all cut up, there you were.

You were also right there when we helped thousands of lost dogs, cats and small animals reunite with their families. Animals like Einstein, a lost guinea pig that was reunited with his family this past summer. These are just a few examples of when you were there — right beside us — helping the more than 10,000 animals that come into our care each year — giving them a second chance. Together, we will continue our promise to save them, heal them, and protect them.
