News - The Gloucester Fair is growing. The regional fair will move from four days in the last week of May, to 10 days at the end of August. The new, extended version will kick off on Aug. 15 and run until Aug. 24. Harley Bloom who is on the fair’s board of directors, said the longer run and new dates aren’t the only exciting additions. “We are very excited with the possibilities,� he said. Festivities will kick off with a monster truck show and a demolition derby. Bloom said there will also be one headliner and other local entertainers on stage throughout the fair. The change in timing and length will mean more planning, but the basic infrastructure has been in place for years, said the fair board’s president Maurice Lafortune. Originally started as an offshoot of the City of Gloucester’s parks and recreation department, the fair started in the parking lot of the Earl Armstrong Arena on Ogilvie Road, nearly three decades ago. The fair board is a working one and Lafortune said members can be found throughout the fairgrounds driving fence spikes into the ground or pitching in wherever else they’re needed. It was moved to the Rideau Carleton Raceway in 1997 largely because it had outgrown its home. “The Rideau Carleton Raceway have been great partners to

us,� Bloom said. Bloom said the board began to consider taking over the lateAugust dates a few years ago when the Super Ex was suspended in 2011. “We are not looking to take over for the Ex,� Bloom said. Bloom said the Gloucester fair will still maintain it’s smaller, regional fair feel, despite the extended timelines and addition of more rides and attractions. This year, the fair will have the largest midway in the city, featuring the Zipper, Scrambler and Fireball, among others. There will also be a kid’s zone with a petting zoo, pony rides, the bird of prey show and DooDoo the Clown. Bloom and Lafortune said what makes the fair special is the fact that it has hosted more than 1,000 physically and mentally handicapped children during its existence. “We offer them a day at the park for free,� Bloom said. The change in timeline from May to August may mean organizers will have to reach out to families or agencies in the communities so the kids can have a chance to take advantage of their day. Traditionally, the one-day event during the fair has been sponsored by Hydro Ottawa. The utility company provides funding and volunteers to help out. Another big event is the annual Smoked to the Bone barbecue competition, sponsored by D& S Southern Comfort BBQ. See FAIR, page 2

Fair to be family friendly

Manotick residents working to get youth centre

Group of volunteers to start board, ramp up fundraising efforts

There are amateur and professional categories. Bloom said there are $20,000 worth of prizes. “Having (the competition) in August will make it the season finale for the Canadian Southern BBQ Association,� Bloom said. Even though there are a lot of events planned, Bloom said organizers will be looking for input from the public in the coming months to see what Ottawans would like to have. “We are thinking about a pet day and maybe an

ultimate frisbee or soccer tournament,� Bloom said, adding organizers may look to the public for a newer, more regional name for the fair as well. While there are no bus routes to the Rideau Carleton Raceway, Bloom said he is looking into whether the city can extend bus service for the duration of the fair, or if the board can organize some kind of shuttle service. “We want to make this a real family-friendly event,� he said. “We are very excited.�

News - A Manotick mother is leading the charge for a new youth centre. Janice Domaratzi, a mother of three teens led a Feb. 13 meeting of volunteers and stakeholders who have been working on a proposed centre that would give area youth something to do to stay out of trouble. The initiative started after 17-year-old Tyler Campbell died from a Fentanyl overdose in 2012. “That was a real blow to the community,� Domaratzi said. “It was scary because even good kids can do something stupid when they’re bored.� Kyle Kearnan, a community developer with the Nepean, Rideau and Osgoode Community Resource Centre, said a needs assessment for services in the area showed a real gap in services for youth. “Basically there isn’t anything unless you played hockey or some other sport,� Domaratzi said. Another parent, Sue Davidson, echoed the sentiment, and said she drives her 16year-old sun to Barrhaven for swimming lessons. The small group of volunteers – dubbed the Manotick Youth Centre Committee – began working with NROCRC and the South Nepean Satellite Community Centre on an action plan to find funding to build a multi-use centre for youth that would of-

fer recreational activities and things like counselling and mental health services. Kearnan said NROCRC offers counselling for young people once a week, but it covers the resource centre’s whole catchment – 21 neighbourhoods stretching from Nepean to North Gower, Osgoode and Manotick, and more than 200,000 residents – and the counselling takes place at the centre’s home base on Merivale Road. “That makes it difficult for young people in the rural areas to get to it, and it fills up pretty fast,� he said. Volunteers have been looking for a place a youth centre might go, deciding on a plot of land roughly three-quarters of an acre in size near Centennial Park. In the meantime they have been working on filling the gap with rotating events for youth once a week. The rotating, Friday-night events at the Manotick Arena and the Legion are made possible by funding from three grants. Marissa Moher, a community developer with the South Nepean Satellite Community Health Centre, said three grants totalling almost $30,000 – a rural affairs grant, one from the United Way and one from the Community Foundation – make it possible for the youth nights to be supervised by two university students hired by NROCRC. The staff also receive help from a team of 12 local young people, called the Youth of Manotick Association. The team has representatives from Kars on the Rideau

Public School, St. Mark Catholic High School and South Carleton High School. “It’s a four youth, by youth model,� Kearnan said, adding a similar program was set up in the Nepean neighbourhood of Parkwood Hills. The rotating Friday night events that most recently included a Valentine’s Day party, are a stop-gap measure until a centre can be built. Domaratzi said speaking with the city’s parks and recreation department, she found out the group would have to provide a 10-year business plan for the operation of the youth centre. She said the operation of the Osgoode Youth Association’s building is roughly $200,000 per year. Lastly, to build to the city’s standard, the new centre in Manotick would cost $875,000 for a 232 square metre building. While the Manotick Village Community Association recently raised a little more than $2,000 for the new building, which can be added to a Royal Bank contribution of $5,000, there’s still a long way to go. Domaratzi said the city’s suggested that the community wait until the arena decides to twin the Manotick Arena in 2031 for more available space won’t work. “I think we can do better than that,� she said. The next step will be the creation of a board of directors and turning the committee into a registered charity. Kearnan said that opens up a lot of grant and sponsorship opportunities not currently available to the group. DOCUMENTARY

In addition to working on creating a board of directors, the group of volunteers is helping a group of students from Algonquin College’s media and television programming to create a documentary on creating a youth centre in rural Ottawa. The documentary could be a great way to drum up publicity and support for the Best Buy CORRECTION NOTICE cause, Kearnan said. But the timeline is tough, because the NEWSPAPER RETRACTION FOR THE BEST BUY FEBRUARY 14 CORPORATE FLYER In the February 14 flyer, page 2, the HP Laptop with AMD Quad-Core student’s documentary would have to be A10-5750M APU (WebCode: 10282877) was advertised with an incorrect processor.

The Winchester District Memorial Hospital awarded chief of staff Dr. Chuck Adamson, left, along with pharmacist Mohamed Gazarin and volunteer Faye Coons. SUBMITTED

R0022546730-0213

Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Mohamed Gazarin, the pharmacist at the Winchester District Memorial Hospital has commuted to work there for the last five years, and he couldn’t be happier. The Ottawa south resident was named as one of the recipients of the hospital’s annual Values Excellence Awards. “It’s amazing to be picked among the amazing staff that work here,� he said. The hospital has scored top amongst Ontario hospitals in patient satisfaction. The score is based on patient surveys. Gazarin said teamwork is important in the work he does. “You have to be able to communicate with doctors if there is confusion over dosages and that kind of thing,� he said. Gazarin is a student preceptor with the Ontario College of Pharmacists and can often be found early in the morning doing rounds with the doctors. The hospital is not just your average community hospital, but is a satellite of the Ottawa Cancer Centre, allowing patients to get their treatments closer to home. “Patients are able to come here for their chemotherapy and other treatments,� he said.

Gazarin was one of the three people to be named in the 2014 award ceremony in February. The hospital’s chief of staff Dr. Chuck Adamson and volunteer Faye Coons also won awards. The recipients were selected for values including teamwork, compassion and respect. “Dr. Adamson embodies all of the WDMH values and represents WDMH in a very favourable light,� the hospital’s CEO Cholly Boland wrote in a press release, adding Adamson is a pleasure to work with because he is always respectful and values the contributions of each team member. “I felt extremely honoured to receive the Values Excellence Award,� Adamson said. “Every day I am privileged to work with many colleagues who are equally deserving of such recognition.� Coons has been volunteering with the hospital’s auxiliary for the last 45 years. She can often be found working in the hospital’s Gift Shoppe. “I thought I was at the presentation to represent the Gift Shoppe ladies and then Cholly starting talking about me,� she said. “I was so surprised. It was very nice.� The awards were established in 20143 and aim to acknowledge the work of physicians, staff and volunteers.

ACORN launches its free tax clinic Avoid the stress and let the experts help MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

ACORN member Dion Rochan and tax program co-ordinator Angela Plant work on a return at the organization’s offices on McArthur Avenue. ACORN will offer its free tax clinic Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com and low-cost tax clinic starting Feb. 20. News - ACORN is looking to break a record this tax season. The clinic run by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now -- typically known as ACORN -- will offer free tax services again this year for low- and moderate-income individuals and recent immigrants in Ottawa starting on Feb. 20. Last year, the volunteers helped more than 800 lowincome people file their 2012 returns -- making the most successful effort since the free clinics started back in 2009. This year, the organization announced it would like to file 1,000 returns in 2014. Getting ready for the influx of calls to the ACORN office at its new location in Heartwood House on McArthur

Road, members announced the launch of this year’s clinics on Feb. 6. ACORN Ottawa board member and fellow tax-clinic user Dion Rochan is grateful for the service and wanted everyone who needs help with their tax returns to know ACORN is here to help.

“It’s great because I can’t afford to have it done by some company.� DION ROCHAN

“It’s great because I can’t afford to have it done by some company,� Rochan said. “It’s also become complicated to get your taxes done these days. This way I don’t have the stress and saves a lot of money.� The clinics will help with filing 2013 tax returns as well as any back taxes clients might need to have filed. In addition to the free service, last year ACORN offered individuals who were above the income cut off set by the Canadian Revenue

Service for the free service an affordable option for a tax return, ranging from $40 to $80. The money collected from theses returns helps supplement some of the free clinic’s costs. Once the clinics begin, there will be 25 volunteers available to help, who speak a variety of languages. Volunteer and tax program co-ordinator Angela Plant said the organization wanted to make the free clinics as inclusive as possible. “I think this is a really important service for the community,� she said. Plant added the volunteers will also be able to help sort out and file tax returns for small businesses or contract workers. The programs are available at ACORN’s offices in Overbrook at 404 McArthur Ave., on the second floor. There are no drop-in appointments, so appointments must be made by phone. The clinics will run until the end of May. For more information or to book an appointment, please call 613746-5999.

City, board earn failing grades

L

ast week the city turned down a request from the Ottawa public school board to build a desperately needed school in Kanata. The board recently secured provincial funding for construction of the school, a process that could best be described as wringing water from a stone, judging by the long list of similar requests in other areas of the city, such as OrlĂŠans, Findlay Creek and Stittsville, communities that are still waiting for a goahead from the province. The money must be used in a limited time frame – in essence a use-it-or-lose-it situation. The city has given the project a big thumbs down, arguing that a school doesn’t belong in an industrial area near companies like Nordion Inc., which creates medical isotopes using radioactive materials. There’s no actual safety concern, but the city is concerned about a backlash from the public based on irrational and groundless public perception. Nordion says it doesn’t want the school as a next door neighbour in case it chooses to expand its business. But is this really a concern the city should seriously entertain? As for the issue of allowing a school in an “in-

dustrial� area, there is precedent, says the board, referring to two schools in Ottawa as well as a French public school in Kingston. The board has already launched an appeal, as the city failed to meet the 120-day deadline to make a decision on zoning applications before the Ontario Municipal Board is allowed to take a hand. The board’s application was filed more than 200 days ago, but the city was forced to delay a decision as it had neglected to inform neighbouring businesses, such as Nordion, about the zoning request. According to Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder, the lines of communication between the public school board and the city are poor at best. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson has been working to fast-track the school at a pre-determined alternate location that is almost fully serviced (i.e. not yet fully serviced), saying it should fit the board’s time frame. The whole situation seems to be a comedy of errors. Whoever is to blame, the board and the city need to improve communication. Both will spend tens of thousands of dollars – taxpayer dollars – on fighting this out at the Ontario Municipal Board, a conflict that could have been defused with the help of a little goodwill and co-ordination.

T

he big fuss over the 50th anniversary of the Beatles arriving in North America shows you that the Baby Boomers are still very much in control of the news media. Nobody else much cares. The Beatles story way overshadowed another recent anniversary — the 30th birthday of the Macintosh computer — which is of far more interest to a younger generation. By the time the Mac’s 50th comes, the Boomers will be but a memory and the Mac can get all the attention it deserves, providing it hasn’t been replaced by something else, such as a little dot you can paste on your cheek that telephones people, plays movies and does spreadsheets. One of the things that is so striking about all this is how fast current affairs become ancient history. Most of the people who screamed when John, Paul, George and Ringo appeared on the Ed Sullivan show are now getting pensions. They will tell you it happened overnight. Most of the places the Beatles played are now parking lots, or, more likely, parking lots surrounding condos. We like to think that things last, but a lot of things don’t. The other day I was driving in Toronto and

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town saw a lovely old bank building on a corner. There was a coffee shop in it. Once there was a bank on each of those four corners. Now there is a coffee shop on each of those four corners. And you know what? Someday soon coffee shops will become a memory too. People will say: “Remember 50 years ago when there were coffee shops?� That will be too bad, because the spread of the coffee shop, whether locally or internationally owned, has been one of the more encouraging developments in what is called progress these days. Coffee shops are way better than casinos, for example, much healthier than sports bars, less painful than tattoo parlours, less intrusive than condos. Coffee shops will probably last longer than sports memorabilia shops

did, and probably longer than video rentals, too. But they will not be forever. Coffee will go out of fashion, replaced by some other beverage. Or people may decide, as many seem to be deciding already, that they don’t want to leave the house. They want to stay home and use their own fancy machine to make coffee, or whatever beverage replaces it. Meanwhile, what happens to those former bank buildings now occupied by coffee shops? Some kind of store, you might think, but isn’t it true now that shopping in stores is rapidly being replaced by shopping online (the revival, now that you think about it, of catalogue shopping)? Stores are over. The thing that replaces the coffee shop has to be something people will leave their houses to attend. Games could do the trick — at one point you could get people out of their houses to go bowling or even play miniature golf. But they can do that at home on the Wii now. Same goes for bingo, although I did see what looked like a big game going on in a shopping centre the other day. It could be a restaurant, but there are already too many restaurants. The same goes for bars. Actually, what there are not enough

of are parking lots, but parking lots are decidedly out of fashion among urban planners and civic politicians these days. Maybe they’ll come back. The fact is that we probably won’t recognize what goes there. No one, 50 years ago, knew what a video store was. No one, 30 years ago, knew that people would line up to drink coffee flavoured with vanilla and containing soy milk. That’s why planning for the future is not a walk in the park, as we would advise the new boss of the National Capital Commission, and probably why a lot of us would sooner spend our time thinking about 50 years ago.

Learning Disabilities Association of Ottawa Carleton to host workshop for parents of students experiencing emotional issues Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Children and teens with learning disabilities can experience unique emotional and behavioural issues, said Mindware Academy founder Shelley Holloway. The newly-minted chairwoman of the Learning Disabilities Association of Ottawa Carleton, said that’s why the school and the association will host a workshop by child psychologist Maggie Mamen, entitled Understanding and Managing Emotional and Behavioural Issues in Children and Adolescents with Learning Disabilities. The workshop – set to be held at the school on Pinecrest Road on Feb. 27 – is the beginning of what Holloway said she hopes will be a speaker’s series that can serve as a fundraiser for the association and a guide for parents. Holloway said for children with learning disabilities that problem doesn’t just end once the school bell rings at the end of the day. Mindware Academy – a private school that Holloway founded for students with dyslexia, Aspergers, attention deficit disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder – boasts 40 students from grades one to eight. “We get kids who have self-esteem, anxiety issues, sometimes full-blown phobias about going to school,� Holloway said. “Boys who have trouble sitting still in class can act out at the end of the day.�

MAGGIE MAMEN Mamen, who operates her practice in Centrepointe , has written several books, including Understanding Nonverbal Learning Disabilities: A Common-Sense Guide for Parents and Professionals and The Pampered Child Syndrome: How to Recognize It, How to Manage It and How to Avoid It. Holloway said her talk will give parents some ideas and coping mechanisms. The workshop will cost $20 for members of the association and $30 for non-members. Tickets can be purchased online at eventbrite.ca.

News - The Greely Community Association heard a presentation from Dump This Dump 2, a group opposing the Taggart-Miller’s Capital Region Resource Recovery Centre. The group members have been protesting against the centre, which they argue is a landfill, since the Carlsbad Springs site at Boundary Road and Hwy 417 was announced. Dump This Dump 2 president Sue Langlois said the community is against the centre, which she argues is a landfill or dump. The centre is for industrial and commercial waste, some of which will be recycled. The percentage of waste that will be recycled isn’t final, but is held to the provincial standard of at least 12 per cent. Previously, Taggart-Miller has stated they are aiming to achieve a 30 to 40 per cent diversion rate. Langlois said she isn’t convinced there will be that much recycling, and is concerned about the material that isn’t recycled going into a landfill. The group doesn’t believe that the city needs more landfill space and that the current amount is sufficient. They said that some sites will be expanded and given more land, allowing them to stay open for longer.

The members are also concerned about leda clay in the area, which they say could provide an unstable base. The project is currently undergoing an environmental assessment, after which it would need provincial approval in order to move forward. Dump This Dump 2 members answered several questions from the audience about approvals, and encouraged Greely residents to get involved. Brayman told community association members they could get involved more by contacting the Dump This Dump 2 group directly. Langlois encouraged residents to write to the Ministry of the Environment to voice displeasure, and brought along petitions for residents to sign. They also had more information for anyone that wanted to get involved “We’re not a willing community,” she said. Bruce Brayman, president of the Greely Community Association, said the group asked the association if they could come and present at a meeting. Each meeting, the community association tries to have a different speaker. As an association, there is no official stance on the centre. The biggest impact to Greely would be potential truck traffic on Mitch Owens Road, Brayman said. Taggart-Miller posted on the project’s website that the draft environmental assessment for the proposed centre will be ready this winter.

Ratatouille dish can be enjoyed all year long Lifestyle - Ratatouille is a traditional French stewed vegetable dish, typically prepared in the summer, in the area of Provence or Nice, France. The original recipe used only zucchini, tomatoes, green and red sweet peppers, onions and garlic. The dish today adds eggplant to the mixture. There is much debate as to how to make traditional ratatouille. Some sautĂŠ all the vegetables, others cook each vegetable separately layering each in a casserole and baking in an oven. Ratatouille works as a side dish, as a meal with rice, pasta or polenta. Preparation time: 15 to 20 minutes. Cooking time: about 40 minutes. Serves 8 to 10. INGREDIENTS

• 25 ml (2 tbsp) extra-virgin olive oil • 1 red onion, cut into thin wedges • 5 cloves garlic, minced • 15 ml (1 tbsp) each dried basil and oregano • 1 large sweet green pepper, cut into chunks • 2 zucchini, cut into chunks • 1 eggplant (about 750 g/1.5 lb), cut into chunks

Meet the candidates: Jean Johnston-McKitterick Former Canada Post manager wants to succeed longtime Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson News - Jean Johnston-McKitterick wants to bring his business sense and love of people to city council. After 25 years with Canada Post, Johnston-McKitterick was laid off last fall and is now looking towards a council seat in Osgoode Ward for her next challenge. At the time, she was responsible for $4 billion of products as a product manager overseeing things like flyers and publication mail. She has also been involved with fundraising for the Osgoode Care Centre alongside her mother, Kay Johnston, a well-known resident of the centre and fundraiser. Johnston-McKitterick and her husband, Chris McKitterick, have adopted two older children and she has done a lot of public speaking on that topic through the Children’s Aid Society. The 49-year-old took finance and

Nominate cycling champs for city award Staff

News - Do you know a cycling star in Ottawa? The city is now accepting nominations for the annual Bruce Timmermans Cycling Award. The annual award is handed out to an individual and an organization that proactively and publicly promotes the benefits and virtues of cycling as a principal mode of transportation. Criteria include: leading by example, advocating for cycling and supportive facilities, teaching cycling skills and encouraging others to start cycling. The extent and nature of that involvement in community volunteer activities, the extent of cycling they are involved with (commuting, utilitarian and recreational) as well as their interpersonal skills and the manner in which cycling is being encouraged will also be considered. Last year, the organizational award went to RightBike, a community bikesharing service. The individual award went to Spencer Sloan, an Industry Canada employee who publishes a widely circulated cycling newsletter for his workplace and helped set up on-site bicycle maintenance facilities and bike clinics to encourage bicycle commuting. Printable and electronic forms are available at ottawa.ca. Nominations for both individuals and organizations must be submitted before the Feb. 28 deadline.

A: One of the reasons I do want to run for city council is I do have a love of people. I want to make sure that I’m able to ensure the urban and rural communities are able to meld well together and that the rural group (is) heard at the city council table. And I have a big voice, so I’m hoping I’ll be good at that. Q: Detail your past political and civic activism, whether it’s volunteering, campaigning, donations, lobbying or employment at any level of government or political party.

There was really not a lot of time for other volunteering. That’s why I got involved with my son’s hockey and baseball. Q: How are you going to fundraise for your campaign?

Q: Do you have any potential pecuniary interests or a financial or family conflict of interest? A: Not me. Q: What do you think the biggest issue was in Osgoode Ward this term and how was it handled? What will be the big issue next term? A: I think one of the biggest things last year, and Doug did a great job of working with the city council to get them to change their mind on, (was the

Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation) and a casino being at Rideau Carleton (Raceway). That was a big win. Going forward, if OLG chooses Rideau-Carleton as one of the locations in Ontario, we are going to have some infrastructure issues … If you are going to put a casino there with (gaming) tables, what kinds of growth opportunities are there and what kinds of infrastructure issues are we going to have? It’s the hotel opportunities and restaurant opportunities – how do you bring those things out to that location without jeopardizing the existing housing and making sure the roads are safe? My platform is to make sure I understand what the residents are looking for and to find out how I can help them. The city is a big urban area. We’ve got a lot of “urban” growth in areas like Greely and Manotick. So we have to make sure the city folk at the council table appreciate the different challenges in the rural area. Other candidates registered in Osgoode Ward are: Justin Campbell, George Darouze, Bruce Faulkner and Kim Sheldrick.

I’ve read a few articles about how people are very against (corporate and union donations). I’m not sure I understand why yet, so I have to look into that a little bit more. Definitely the affiliations with certain groups – you have to be careful about that. But I definitely need money because I want to get my signage and all of the other things I need to promote myself.

House parties would always bring some special magic for Mary

W

hen I asked my older and much wiser sister Audrey how people knew where the next Saturday night house party was being held without being asked, she said it was very simple. The central switchboard operator just got on the switchboard and called everyone in Northcote, and told them where it was, and she also told them not to forget to bring something for the lunch. Well, that all made perfect sense to me. That Saturday, it was being held at Aunt Bertha and Uncle Alec’s home, just across the 20-Acre Field, so that meant the place would be fair jumping. With their large family, our five and goodness knows how many other kids from the Northcote area, it would be a rip roarin’ night. I asked Audrey, who I thought was the smartest girl in Renfrew County, if she thought it would be another

MARY COOK Memories night of magic. The magic I was talking about was a secret between my sister and me. “It could be,� she said with a grin. As soon as the evening chores were done, a hurried supper eaten, and our next-to-Sunday best clothes put on, we headed across the field in the flat-bottom sleigh. We were the first to arrive. Within minutes the yard was full of sleighs and cutters, and Aunt Bertha’s usually immaculate kitchen was full of boots, and outerwear piled in a heap in a corner. Aunt Bertha and Uncle Alex had one of the largest kitchens in the Northcote area, so there was still lots of room for tables for euchre, and

a place for the fiddlers and guitar players to sit when it came time to change from cards to square dancing. I knew without asking that out in the summer kitchen, 11-quart baskets would be sitting wrapped in clean towels, and then piled under blankets to keep the innards from freezing. I could see the big white granite teapots teaming on the back of the cook stove, everything was ready for a great night of fun. Aunt Bertha would have opened the parlour, and people spread out wherever they could find a place to sit or stand. The very youngest of the children, and that included me, would soon tire of watching the adults at their

card games, and we would head upstairs to play jacks or marbles or snakes and ladders. The bedrooms were large at Aunt Bertha’s, much larger than ours across the field. But like ours, the beds were made up of soft downy feather ‘tickings,’ puffy and inviting. Upstairs we could hear the laughter and the tables being slapped when someone yelled “Euchre!� It would be a late night. Much later than we younger ones were used to. And it didn’t take long for one after the other of us to crawl onto one of the downy beds – just to rest a bit, as Joyce would say. There were so many of us that we had to lay cross ways on the beds, so that everyone had a place. Beatrice, who was a great story teller, would start into one of her tales, and Cora might sing. And that’s when the magic would happen. I had no idea it was even talking place, and it would take some time for me to realize it

had. But I would waken, and the sun would be pouring in the window. Just like magic, I would be back in my own bed, in the very room I shared with my sister Audrey in our old log house across

“How did it happen, Audrey? How did I fall asleep at the Thoms with the music playing downstairs, and then wake up in my own bed?� Audrey would say the same words she said every

the 20-Acre Field. How did it happen? How could I possibly fall asleep in an upstairs bedroom at Aunt Bertha’s, right between my two best friends, Joyce and Velma, and waken the next morning in my own bed? I would go downstairs and look for my sister Audrey, and once again we would share my secret question.

time I asked. “It’s just Renfrew County magic, Mary, just Renfrew County magic.� It would be many years before I would know that it was my father who would wrap me in a blanket after the Saturday night party came to an end, and carry me to the sleigh and tuck me into my own bed. Magic indeed!

NCC wants to add spice to Ottawa River waterfront Commission issues request for ‘innovative proposals’ Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

News - The National Capital Commission wants to enliven the shores of the Ottawa River, and is calling on residents to submit any ideas to help with the process. On Feb. 5 the NCC issued a request for “innovative proposals” that would serve to “bring more vitality to open public spaces along the shorelines of the historic Ottawa River.”

Proposals will be accepted from businesses, community members and non-profit organizations, as well as local arts groups, until March 14 of this year. The “fun-making” project mirrors one launched two years ago for the land bordering the Rideau Canal, which, like the Ottawa River shoreline, is federal property managed by the NCC. The 2012 effort to animate the canal resulted in 42 proposals being fielded, with five winners being selected.

A “temporary beach” and adjacent temporary outdoor bar were among the new canal amenities that emerged as a result of the initiative. In recent years, sentiment has been growing in the community that Ottawa – and by association, the NCC – needs to heighten the profile of the river that gives the city its name. This recent effort by the NCC appears to aim to do just that, by drawing tourists and residents to the river’s shores with unique projects. The NCC states it will work with successful proponents to get their projects up and running. If possible, that could be as early as

this coming summer. Proposals for either seasonal or year-round installations will be considered pilot projects for a period not exceeding five years. More information, including a map of the lands being considered for proposals, is available on the NCC’s website at ncc-ccn.gc.ca.

Organization wants more public washrooms Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - What happens when you are out shopping or playing in the park and you have to go? One local organization is looking to make public washrooms more accessible and available for anyone who has to go. The Gotta go! campaign started a couple of months ago with one thing in mind -- creating a network of safe, accessible, free, clean and environmentally responsible public toilets and water fountains at parks, major transit stops and key public spaces to meet the needs of residents and tourists in Ottawa. Campaign organizer Marianne Eriksson informed Lowertown residents at a Feb. 10 meeting about the campaign at its monthly meeting on Feb. 10. According to Eriksson, one of the first things the organization is doing is gathering information, ideas and comments from residents. “We want to know where you think would be a good place, concerns or ideas,” Eriksson said. “Sometimes we are simply talking about putting in one public toilet in a location that could have a beneficial impact.” According to the campaign, the Crohns and Colitis Foundation surveyed their members in 2008 and found that more than 85 per cent of them have been caught needing a toilet in a hurry and although the city does have public restrooms in large parks or community spaces, use is limited to the hours it is open to the public and some are seasonal.

“There have been complaints that people use laneways in the market,” Eriksson said. She said the group is also compiling a list of current public washrooms to best identify the ideal spots for public washrooms. Concerns about cleanliness, she added, could be addressed by having self-cleaning washrooms.

There have been complaints that people use laneways in the market. MARIANNE ERIKSSON

“We are looking at what other capital cities are doing, as well as looking at design capabilities for the washrooms,” she said. Not an inexpensive endeavor, the organization plans to help off-set any start-up costs by making advertising space available for businesses. Lowertown Community Association board member Elizabeth Bernstein told Eriksson that a recent walkability audit the association conducted in the summer collected some information about public washroom needs and offered to share the information with the campaign. “(Going forward) we can share with you and help build the research rather than work separately,” Bernstein said. To find out more information, send comments or ideas, contact the Gotta go! campaign at gottagocampaign@gmail.com

Important information about you and your pet is entered into a national database and can be used to contact you if your lost pet has been found. The OHS holds microchip clinics throughout the year. The cost is $50, a small price to pay for a lifetime of security.

A Microchip Can Help Your Pet Get Home Each month, hundreds of stray animals are brought to the OHS. Sadly, many have no identification, which makes it difficult for shelter staff to find their owners. A microchip provides a permanent, non-removable means of pet identification that will not fade or be lost over time. The microchip, about the size of a grain of rice, is implanted under the skin and is virtually

CAROL RUDDY CITY PLANNER

She added that federal regulations won’t’ allow any odours to escape from the facilities. “They must have sophisticated HVAC systems and (air) scrubbers,” she said. The federal laws for medical marijuana are far more strict than many other industrial use, many of which have unregulated emissions, Ruddy said. The facilities will require annual federal inspection, which is more frequent than other types of facilities, Snedden said. All production, storage and destruction of marijuana must be location inside the facility – no outdoor growing is allowed. No clients are allowed to access the buildings and delivery vehicles must enter inside the facility to pick up the product. The buildings must have outdoor surveillance equipment. If city councillors had rejected specific zoning rules for medical marijuana growing facilities, it would have been considered an agricultural use by default and therefore allowed in a number of rural zones, including agricultural, rural countryside, mineral aggregate and extraction zones, environmental protection zones and development reserve areas. Those land uses area allowed in approximately 75 per cent of the city’s rural land area.

This use is no dirtier, to be blunt, than any other use permitted in an industrial zone.

News - Growing medical marijuana will soon be allowed in certain industrial parks in Ottawa. The city’s planning committee approved new zoning rules to accommodate the federal government’s changes to the medical marijuana access program on Feb. 11. The city has already received nine notifications from local businesses who are interested in applying for a federal medical marijuana growing license on April 1. The facilities will be allowed in general and heavy industrial zones in both the urban and rural areas. But for some councillors and members of the public, the 150-metre separation distance between the facilities and residences or institutions was not enough. Orlans Coun. Bob Monette worried that children at daycares allowed to be located in industrial parks would be too close to the facilities. He dissented on the committee’s vote to approve the rules. “This use is no dirtier, to be blunt, than any other use permitted in an industrial zone,” said Carol Ruddy, the city planner in charge of the study. She said the normal separation distance for an industrial use is 70 m. The largest distance she encountered for a marijuana growing facility setback was a kilometre, Ruddy said. Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley said the city should be looking at the higher end of that setback distance range in order to protect nearby homes from things like fires at marijuana grow-ops. Lee Ann Snedden, manager of policy development and urban design, said growing marijuana isn’t considered to be a “sensitive land use” due to the tight federal regulations on how the facilities are designed. The only reason her staff supported a larger setback from residential areas was due to “perceived issues” with the facilities, she said. Ruddy said increasing the separation distance would result in creating “dead zones” around the facilities.

“This is lands we’ve set aside for employment uses… we need those lands, they are important,” she said. “Quite frankly the (planning) department’s position is (that larger separation distances) sterilize lands from a particular use,” Snedded added. Innes Coun. Rainer Bloess agreed, saying the city needs to protect economic development opportunities on lands it has set aside for employment uses, like industrial parks.

Ian Charter barefoot waterskiis on the Rideau River in Manotick in December 2006. His story made Chicken Soup for the Soul: O Canada the Wonders of Winter.

North Gower man shares story of barefoot waterskiing in the winter Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News- North Gower resident Ian Charter has gotten his 15 minutes of fame. His story of barefoot waterskiing on the Rideau River in Manotick on Christmas Eve in 2006. It was a rare year, where the water had yet to freeze over, Charter said. It was a call from a friend, who already was on the way to put his boat in the water that prompted Charter to dig out his dry siot and head to the Rideau. Charter is a certified scuba diver and said with the neoprene dry suit on, it really wasn’t that cold. Temperatures hovered between -4 and -6C. At the end of every run though, Charter’s hair would freeze and he jumped on the boat to have a warm drink. He said sliding into the icy water had the same feeling as when you drink a Slush Puppy.

Locks of Love Three Ottawa girls gave up their hair for a good cause on Feb. 9, donating their follicles to Locks of Love, a charity that builds wigs for children experiencing medical hair loss. The act was just one of the good deeds performed at the Soloway Jewish Community Centre during Mitzvah Day. From left, foreground, Abby Tatham, Talia Freedhoff, and Elana Rogoff. From left, background, event chair Linda Melamed, Ottawa mayor Jim Watson, and event sponsor partner Josh Engel of GGFL Accountants.

“But from the inside out,” he said. For several passes, Charter wore a Santa hat. The idea was exciting, Charter said. “We had done skiing there in the fall and in the spring, but never in the winter,” he said, adding he hasn’t had a chance to do it since. Charter’s story is one of the many that made it into Chicken Soup for the Soul: O Canada the Wonders of Winter. Charter said he already knew one of the books publishers, but still had to submit his story for selection. “It was pretty great that it got picked. There’s some great stories in their,” he said. It isn’t the first time the story has been told, Charter said, adding his maiden voyage on the nearly-frozen river gathered an excited crowd of local Manotickians and ended up with his photo on the front page of the community paper. “The cold doesn’t stop us in Canada,” he said.
