Steve MacLean students build legacy, at home and abroad Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
The Grade 6 students didn’t have a nickel to their name when they first picked up the phone and called local businesses for donations. The experience was, in a word, discouraging. But with each call, the Steve MacLean Public School students fine-tuned their approach, shored up
their confidence and kept trying until they were soon rewarded with more ‘yeses’ than ‘nos.’ At just 11 and 12 years of age, two classes of 56 students at the school have so far amassed almost $14,000 for Solidarité Haiti towards their $15,000 goal to pay for the construction of a computerequipped classroom at Notre Dame de Fond Jean-Noël, a school-in-need in Haiti.

“When we first started this project – we were like, ‘Whoa, how are we going to get all of that money?’” recalled Fiona Bousada, 11. “Once we started going, we were like, ‘Oh, we got this. We’re strong enough to do this and we want to raise money for Haiti.’” “I think everyone gained a little more confidence with this project – that you can achieve your goals,” added Anya Kylas, 11. For many on the team, they had to overcome their nervousness at making phone calls and making presentations. “Before I think I would have been really nervous to do the talks, but it’s actually helped me with that a lot,” said Jessica Pope, 11, who volunteered to present the group’s venture to the school’s parent council, which ultimately donated $750. “And it ended up being really fun.”

nights. “They used the same vehicle to get there in both incidents,” said Det. Mark Bouwmeester, with the Ottawa police east division break and enter unit. The vehicle they used is described as an early 2000 model, four-door sedan. Bouwmeester declined to disclose the dates of the incidents, the names of the businesses, the types of tools taken and the type of vehicles entered to protect the integrity of the ongoing investigation and safeguard the identities of the businesses “just because they’ve been victimized.” He would also only say that between the two businesses, five and 10 vehicles were entered, some of which were not locked at the time. In order to gain access to the vehicles, the suspects inflicted some damage. The detective said the estimated cost of the damages to the commercial vehicles, some of which were not locked at the time, and the stolen tools are in the thousands of dollars. In the images, one suspect can only be seen from behind. Police said he is a white male, who was wearing a construction jacket with a reflective cross on the back, a dark toque and dark pants. Investigators are hopeful someone can identify the second suspect whose face is more clearly distinguishable. Part of his head is shaven and he has a mohawk, Bouwmeester said,

adding that “if someone knows the person and they see that (image from the) video, they’d be able to identify them.” That suspect is described by police as a white male with a stocky build, brush-cut hair with very short sides who was wearing blue jeans and a dark jacket. Both are believed to be in their early 30s, though investigators said they aren’t certain. Police worry the suspects could strike again at this location or another commercial property.
“(People have) been targeting commercial locations in the city of Ottawa in industrial parks.” Det. Mark Bouwmeester
“(People have) been targeting commercial locations in the city of Ottawa in industrial parks,” Bouwmeester said. He added that “it is highly possible” these suspects may be responsible for additional crimes. Police have investigated similar break-ins in the city on a regular basis in which commercial vehicles have been targeted for their contents. “In most commercial break and enters that’s what happens,” Bouwmeester said. “A lot of vehicles get broken into and several things are taken out of vehicles. It’s pretty common.” Police are urging anyone with information on these crimes or who can identify the suspects to call the east division break and enter unit by calling 613-236-1222, ext. 3412. You can also call in an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers at 613233-8477.

South Keys Future Shop spared from closure While some shoppers were surprised when they were recently met with locked doors at several Ottawa Future Shop locations, the head of the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce was surprised it took the company until now to consolidate its two electronic retail brands: Future Shop and Best Buy. “I’m surprised it took this long to rationalize that, just having the two brands out there,” said Ian Faris, president and chief executive officer of the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce. While he doesn’t think the closures will impact the consumer in terms of location, “on a weekly sales basis … in store and in their flyers, there might be deals that don’t happen,” Faris said. Parent company Best Buy Canada announced Saturday, March 28 it was permanently shuttering 66 Future Shops across Canada, including locations in Kanata and Nepean. Another 65 locations have

Soon-to-be converted stores in South Keys, Barrhaven and Orléans have been spared from the chopping block. “Many of our Future Shop stores will be renovated and rebranded as Best Buy stores,” the company announced on its website the day of the closure.
Best Buy Canada said the store and website consolidation is being done “to strengthen its position as Canada’s leading provider of consumer electronics products, services and solutions” and that “it has reviewed its real-estate footprint to address the fact that a significant number of its Future Shop and Best Buy stores are located adjacent to each other, often in the same parking lot.” Eighty per cent of the com-

pany’s customers will continue to be within a 15-minute drive to one of its stores, Ron Wilson, president and chief operating officer of Best Buy Canada, said in a statement. “We will continue to have a strong store presence in all major markets in Canada.” The nationwide closure eliminates 1,000 part-time and 500 part-time jobs across the country. A company spokesman declined to provide the number of employees affected in the Ottawa area. Faris, however, hopes the newly rebranded locations in the capital region will be able to absorb many of the now out-ofwork employees. The company has said these people will be granted severance pay, employee assistance and outplacement support. “Any decisions that impact our people are never taken lightly; our first priority is to support them through this change,” Wilson said. “From a business perspective just having any less competition is not a good thing, but from a jobs

perspective hopefully a lot of these jobs will stay around with renamed Best Buy stores.” Still, despite the Future Shop closures and the departure of Target, Ottawa’s retail market is growing, Faris said. Tanger Outlets opened in Kanata last fall with 75 stores, and a number of shopping centres are undergoing revitalization and renovation projects, including the Rideau Centre, Bayshore Shopping Centre, Lansdowne Park and the St. Laurent Centre. “In almost every case there’s expansion, more square footage,” Faris said. “The sheer growth in retail square footage Accessories do

in the market has been very good news for the Ottawa consumer and very good news for employment. “So I think we’re better able to withstand some of the disruptions that are coming from losses from Target and Future Shop.” The Best Buy overhaul will translate into 192 stores across the country, including 136 large-format stores and 56 Best Buy Mobile stores. “We are investing upwards of $200 million in our stores and online experience over the next two years in a focused and meaningful way,” Elliott Chun, Best Buy Canada spokesman. es last / Quantité While quantiti

Get corporate, union money out of municipal politics: councillors Alex Robinson
alex.robinson@metroland.com
Tobi Nussbaum has launched an effort to get corporate and union money out of municipal politics. The Rideau-Rockcliffe councillor is looking to make good on a campaign promise to get rid of corporate and union campaign contributions by introducing a motion at city council that could lead to banning the practice. “If you’re a member of a union or the owner of a corporation, you have two opportunities to donate and that’s a right that’s not afforded to other citizens,” he said. “So it really is an issue of equality and fairness and making sure we are treating people the same.” The Municipal Elections Act prohibits individuals from donate more than $750 to a single candidate or $5,000 in total. Members of unions or corporate executives get an added opportunity to donate through those organizations. The rookie councillor made
the issue central to his campaign and refused to accept any money from corporate donors or unions. Nussbaum’s motion will ask the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing to make an amendment to the Municipal Elections Act allowing the city to pass a bylaw banning corporate and union contributions. “All this motion is doing is seeking to have legislation amended so that council has the power to enact such a bylaw,” Nussbaum said. “This motion is also about local control, local accountability – making sure that here in the city we’re the masters of our own destiny in terms of determining our campaign rules.” Ottawa would not be the first to ban such donations as Toronto successfully petitioned the province to do the same thing in 2009. Opponents of the changes have said the business community has the right to participate in the electoral process as much as individuals. “It is important to remember

Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish accepted corporate donations during the recent election, but has thrown his support behind an effort to ban all corporate and union donations to council campaigns for ‘a cleaner municipal government.’ that the business community are the same people that built the homes we live in, the offices we work in and the hotels we stay in when we travel,” said Orléans Coun. Bob Monette,
who said his campaign received about half of its donations from corporate coffers in the past election. “So why would they not be able to participate?”
Mayor Jim Watson also supports the status quo. Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish, who accepted corporate donations during the recent election, sec-
onded Nussbaum’s motion. “I see it as another step in the direction of a cleaner municipal government and more transparency and accountability,” he said. He views the potential ban as an extension of current reforms brought into effect in the previous term of council, including the creation of the integrity commissioner’s position and the gift registry, which councillors use to disclose any gifts they accept. Currently, city councillors are not permitted to accept gifts from a developer or corporation that has an active lobbying file with the city. “If we can’t accept (gifts) during non-campaigns in the four years, why is it that we can accept cheques from them (during the campaign) when chances are they have active files with the city or have lobbying efforts with the city?” Qaqish said. The motion is set to come up before city council for a vote on April 15. With files from Brier Dodge and Erin McCracken

Teddy now ‘a $5,000 dog’ after he gets help parvovirus, a common puppy ailment. Hospital staff told Abujoub that 80 per cent of puppies recover, but they require intensive medical intervention, including intravenous medicine. “(He) started doing better so (we) continued,” Balson said. “The bill went up, but we got him.” “You’re a $5,000 dog, Teddy,” Abujoub told her dog as he sat on her lap. Now that Teddy has made a full recovery and is back home after nine days in hospital, he is now attempting to play with Abujoub’s cat, chew shoes and put his nose into everything. He’s also barking for the first time in a long time. The students now feel they have helped save a life. “It was a complete turnaround from what I thought was going to happen when we brought him back,” he said. “I thought it would be just a little bit of care here and there. I thought he would be fine.” Through the trials of worrying about the pup as he lay fighting for his life at the animal hospital, he said he is relieved that Teddy’s story has a happy ending. “It makes you feel really good,” Myles said. But now the friends are trying to raise funds to offset the $5,000 medical bill, including a $1,500 deposit, which they say they can’t

When she told her friend and co-traveller, Nepean resident and Algonquin College student Jonathon Myles, her plans, he wasn’t sold on the idea, not knowing the rules around bringing animals back to Canada. “But after the first night of us bringing him back (to the volunteer residence in Ecuador) and finding him a place to stay (at an Ecuadorian veterinarian), I kind of got a little hooked on him,” Myles said. Teddy became very sick and was diagnosed with a mild infection. But Abujoub’s fears mounted as her dog’s healthy rapidly declined. He appeared unresponsive and his breathing was shallow. After a long flight to Ottawa, the pup’s condition continued to deteriorate, and after making a quick stop, the pair headed to the Alta Vista Animal Hospital, one of the only veterinarian centres in the city that is open on Sundays and provides 24-hour emergency care. Myles went off to pick up Abujoub’s roommate, Tori Balson, and by the time they arrived back at the hospital, Abujoub had decided not to have Teddy put down – an option they were considering because of his very grave condition and the expensive medical care. “I just couldn’t do it,” she said. The next few days were touch and go as Teddy was treated for

They launched a GoFundMe. com page and have so far raised about $2,000 toward their goal. “It’s really uplifting,” she said. “I knew that my friends in the community would care, but I didn’t
know they would all be so willing to share his story … and even donate themselves.” To make a donation or for more details, visit gofundme.com/give teddyachance.

Ontario finances still adrift
I
t’s not difficult to find evidence the Ontario government has lost its way. Almost every day they send out reminders, in the form of press releases, to whoever is interested of the many ways in which they’re squandering the future of the province. For example, in the spirit of disclosure and public accountability they sent out information on the annual “sunshine list,” detailing the members of the public sector who earn more than $100,000 per year. In 2014, the number of people on that list surpassed 100,000. That’s not an insignificant number of people. In fact, there are so many people in Ontario earning six figures on the public payroll that, at a minimum, their salaries will make up at least $10 billion of the province’s $130 billion 2014-15 fiscal plans. As most people on the sunshine list make more than $100,000, the actual portion of Ontario’s annual expenditures likely surpasses 10 per cent of the total. And that’s the disclosure part. While the top earners in the provincial public sector count their
riches, school boards and hospitals, including those here in Ottawa, are trimming their front-line staff in an effort to keep their budgets in balance as money from the province is frozen or clawed back. The Ottawa Hospital, CHEO, the public school board have announced in the last couple weeks that they’ll have to reduce the number of nurses and learning support staff in order to keep their books in the black. Those are the sorts of cuts that residents will notice. Yet these aren’t called job cuts, as these decisions are left to those at the local level, yet they do sound awfully similar to the sort that Kathleen Wynne denounced during her re-election campaign last year. She pledged to get Ontario’s economy back on track without tearing apart the public services residents depend on. So far, all we’ve seen is evidence of profligate spending and harmful job cuts. After more than half a decade of sour economic times, Ontario’s leadership is no closer to helping us find our way out of the woods.

t seems like some kind of playoff fever thing hits our town every year. Playoff fever, as we have learned, doesn’t always mean Ottawa makes the National Hockey League playoffs, but it is exciting and it helps pass the last weeks of a very long and hard winter. And actually, it’s not really playoff fever. Actual playoff fever begins when the playoffs begin. What we have is making-the-playoffs fever, a different thing entirely. Some might suggest that, next year, the Senators could try winning more games earlier in the season, so that a playoff spot could be guaranteed and the good people of this city could be spared the nerve-wracking ordeal of a late-season playoff run. Such people have no soul, and no

A team that gets off to a horrible start, fires the coach, loses most of its veteran players to injury, including the best goaltender in the league at the time, just when the city has given up and started to think about gardening or something -- just then, with a minor-league goaltender and a gang of quite inexperienced players, the team starts to win, and continues

to win, and continues and continues, until the elusive playoff spot is within reach and fans are throwing hamburgers on the ice. Fans of one of those teams that wins all the time would be missing all this. True, having a winning season from beginning to end is the traditional way of making the playoffs, but that can be boring. Far better to keep the fans on the edge of their seats, keep them checking the radio or the TV when they’re supposed to be entertaining guests, keep them listening to the game online when they’re supposed to be going out to sample the nightlife in Florida. Fans of teams that do it the traditional way, in places like Chicago and Detroit, are probably pretty satisfied with their sports life. But they

should try this. In fact, the Senators themselves were quite traditional until last year, making the playoffs consistently for more than a decade. Then, last season, they rediscovered the extra dose of excitement they could provide for their fans by waiting until the last minute to qualify. The team had done that in 1997, qualifying for the playoffs on the last day of the regular season. Unfortunately, in the case of last season there was a miscalculation. The team was in the race for what sportswriters like to call “a coveted post-season spot” until the last week of the season. Then oops. Still, everyone could see what fun it was. Hence, the position we find ourselves in now as Senators fans, old and new. For there are many new ones. Winning a string of games with no veterans and a minor-league goalie will do that. Exciting as it all is, fans are urged
not to emulate the Sens in real life. Unless she is an exceptional person, the boss will not find it acceptable if you goof off for several months, promising a flurry of accomplishment in the last few weeks. It only works on skates.

How to lead an active life – nothing to do with exercise
E
very day we’re bombarded with so much information, it’s difficult to stay
focused. There are ads, social media, phone calls, work and family demands. As we receive more information ever more quickly, it’s hard not to react to everything that comes at us. But being reactive isn’t the best way to travel through life. Proponents of meditation would tell you calming and focusing your mind and body helps to reduce negative stress in large part because it trains you to be less reactive. Organizational behaviour theory also frequently supports this view. The best managers, although they’re able to respond quickly to things, are also good at prioritizing, which suggests they are active rather than reactive. In our fast-paced world, besides meditation, how can we promote reflection and determined action? Take a break from electronic devices. Shut down the constant beeping of the smartphone that triggers the
Letter
Let parents teach morals To the editor,
Your editorial “Teach the children well,” on March 5 was obnoxious, condescending, and facile. You do not seem to have a clue as to the damage the Ontario government’s sex-ed curriculum will impart on our children.
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse reaction to check a friend’s latest Tweet or Facebook status. At work, turn off email indicators and plan to check email at a certain times throughout the day. Have you ever just let your home phone ring and not answered it? I do it all the time. I’ve learned that when my child’s on a potty or demanding my attention for homework, it’s simply not the best time for me to pick up the phone. Learn to say no. I have learned this the hard way. In my personal life, I try not to overpromise. I’ve become comfortable saying no or maybe to social invitations, school activities or other demands from family and friends. It’s not easy for me,
I’m a helper and I’m very social. I like to make soup when people are sick. I like to offer to take an elderly neighbour out for coffee. But overpromising and under delivering or backtracking on a yes entirely is far worse than saying no upfront. A few years ago in my professional life, I developed a bad habit of saying yes to every contract. If a potential client asked if I were available for work, I’d immediately say yes, a kneejerk reaction I developed from my early days as a freelancer when there was more famine than feast. I would also promise to deliver things in less time than was feasibly possible, a negative and reactive habit
You seem to think anal and oral sex is something that needs to be introduced at school, in Grade 7, by random teachers, because parents won’t be discussing it with their children. Really? I think a lot of parents are disagreeing in a most vocal manner. We are already seeing firsthand the results of our society’s preoccupation with sex and the push to introduce innocent children, younger and younger, into this complex human dynamic. Let the teachers teach as they have been charged to
do, and let parents teach their children morals as they see fit. Ignorance of the Ontario government’s agenda is what we should be scared of, not those opposing it. Finally, I have great respect for Campaign Life Coalition and I trust CLC to expose the truth about the Ontario government’s sex-ed curriculum rather than most of the mainstream media. Your editorial is so far off the mark that I could not let it go unchallenged.
that is common among small business owners in the early years and is one of the top reasons businesses fail within the first five years. Think of the contractor that promises to renovate your kitchen in two weeks and then takes six weeks to actually get it done. This reactive stance started to get the better of me. I was taking on more work than I could handle. I started to produce substandard work, or good quality work that was past deadline, two things that would have had a negative long term impact on my business reputation had I not nipped them in the bud. Thankfully, we learn best from our failures. When I’m asked to do a contract now, I typically do a calculation in my head used by successful renovations contractors: I take the amount of time I think I need and then I double it and
add half. I don’t respond immediately to the request. I ask for more and thorough information about what’s involved in the contract. I take time to calculate, look at my calendar and get back-up support in place should I require extra human resources during the course of the contract. And sometimes I say no. Leading an active life more broadly means figuring out which ideas are worth developing, which pursuits are worth pursuing and then proactively developing only those at the top of the list. Before we were married, my husband was about five years into a decent job. With our impending marriage and family, he started to change his mind about what he wanted his work life to be. He took some time to write down precisely what he wanted. There were five
non-negotiable elements – like a short commute and regular work hours -- some nice to haves, and things he definitely didn’t want. He was then able to focus action on the elements that were most important. He didn’t waste time looking at jobs outside of his commuting comfort zone, for example. It took a year, but by being focused and active, he eventually landed a position that met all his non-negotiables an included some of his nice-to-haves. It’s hard to say no; it’s hard to resist the temptation to respond to every text and email as it comes in; it’s difficult to take the time to be reflective rather than reacting instantly. But life is far more manageable and negative stress far more disparate when we put these simple tools in place.

Riverview Park children anticipate search for Easter egg goodies Ottawa’s #1 Ranked Soccer Club O S U h O S tS S a n tO S F C aC a d e m y COaC h F rO m B r a z i l – lU i S F e r n a n d O Pa e S d e Ba r rO S OSU has been pleased to host Coach Luis FernaNdo Paes De Barros of the famed Santos FC Academy of Brazil this past week. Most recently, world superstar Neymar, of Barcelona F.C. was a product of the historic club in Brazil. Santos F.C. are probably most famous for another Brazilian and world superstar – Pele. Coach De Barros has become known internationally for his knowledge and insight into the development of Brazilian players utilizing a methodology of futsal and soccer. He has travelled abroad, most recently being a guest presenter at the English F.A. National Conference and subsequently at the more local Ontario Soccer Conference. OSU Club Technical Director Paul Harris had the pleasure to see Coach De Barros present on both occasions, noting that “Luis’s approach and depth of knowledge on the development of players in another soccer advanced country was something that intrigued him greatly. Harris thought that this was something that could help the coaches at OSU to see first hand another countries player development style and also subject the OSU players to an additional proven philosophy and methodology. Coach De Barros was able to work with a number of our Academy teams this past week. From this, our Academy players have been exposed to another development approach and philosophy, which will aid in their growth as teams and players. “OSU prides itself on providing new and innovative development opportunities for our players and coaches, in terms of their education in the game of soccer,” Harris stated.” These types of opportunities represent tangible development and education to players and coaches.” Through a growing network and reputation in the field of player development, OSU continues to be able to attract coaches of this nature to the club and Ottawa. OSU has a slate of additional opportunities over the forthcoming year with visits from other professional and national team coaches. More information on these opportunities will be posted and found at www.forceacademy.ca

Children looking to enjoy some treats prior to the Easter Bunny’s official arrival need look no further than the second-annual Balena Park Easter Egg Hunt. The morning search for coloured plastic eggs filled with chocolates, stickers, temporary tattoos and other tiny treasures gets underway Saturday, April 4 at 10 a.m. at Balena Park in the Riverview Park community. It will mark the second year Riverview Park residents Jen Blattman and Allison Klus-Palermo – both moms of young children – will be organizing the family fun. They were initially inspired to create the event by the Westboro Community Association, which has held a similar get-together in past years. Watching the little ones head out into the playground, soccer fields and basketball court at the park to search for hidden Easter eggs was a treat for Blattman last year. “I think it’s so cute watching the little ones go. They toddle out to the most obvious egg sitting on a swing,” she said. “Anyone who’s five and under, we let them out for the first minute or so and they find the really obvious ones, and then we let the rest of them go.” Children are asked to bring back up to 10 eggs, so there will be enough for everyone. Blattman plans to have extra nut-free chocolate treats on hand for children who have allergies. Last year, the outdoor celebration drew 40 to 60 parents and children, including former Alta Vista councillor Peter Hume. “I’m looking forward to this year’s turnout,” Blattman said. “So I think that the word is continuing to spread and the neighbourhood continues to grow in terms of the number of kids that we have.” While the fun last year included a potluck of tasty treats, this weekend, several businesses in the community will be contributing food and beverages.

Children enjoy some fresh air while hunting for Easter eggs during the inaugural Balena Park Easter Egg Hunt in the Riverview Park community in April 2014. The second-annual event for children and their families will kick off at 10 a.m. on Saturday, April 4. Farm Boy and Starbucks from the Ottawa Train Yards are donating food and coffee, and Loblaws at the Elmvale Acres Shopping Centre will also be providing food. Alta Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier and his team will be bringing hot chocolate for children to enjoy. His office has also arranged for an Ottawa fire truck and firefighters to come by for a visit. The egg hunt will be an opportunity for Riverview Park families to become reacquainted after a long winter and have fun during a community play date with their children
at the playground, as well as enjoy some music during the festivities. “We generally get together there and hang out with neighbours and friends in the summertime in the warmer months,” said Blattman, whose young son and daughter are eagerly anticipating the upcoming adventure. “It’s getting mild enough and everyone’s got spring fever so that it’ll be good to get together and reconnect with our neighbours.” The egg hunt will be held rain, snow or shine. Balena Park is located at 1640 Devon St.

City recognizes gaming corp. for funding of community projects Staff
Special recognition was recently given to the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation slots at the Rideau Carleton Raceway in south Ottawa. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury, on behalf of the city, presented the corporation with a certificate at the Jules Morin Park fieldhouse on March 20, marking the more than $5 million the city re-
ceived in 2014 from revenues generated by the slots at the raceway. Those dollars bolster the city’s general revenues account and have been used on community enhancement projects, such as recreation buildings, the Jules Morin Park fieldhouse in Lower Town, retrofitting buildings with accessibility features and affordable housing. Fleury said communities
across the city benefit from the partnership. “It is heartening to see our parks bustling with residents enjoying services like wading pools, playgrounds, sports fields, pathways with lighting, community gardens, picnic areas and trees,” he said in a statement on March 20. The slots at the raceway, located on Albion Road just south of Findlay Creek, have so far generated more than
$57.7 million in non-tax gaming revenue for the city. Larry Flynn, OLG’s senior vice-president of gaming, said the corporation is proud to be an important part of the city for more than 15 years. “Since opening OLG Slots at Rideau Carleton Raceway in February 2000, Ottawa continues to do some remarkable things with this revenue for the File benefit of its citizens,” he said The city recently recognized the Ontario Lottery and in the statement.

Hunt Club Road Selective Resurfacing I am pleased to announce that parts of Hunt Club Road will be resurfaced this spring. This roadway improvement is much needed and I worked hard with City staff to ensure funding was secured in the 2015 budget. The resurfacing includes four sections of Hunt Club Road, between Albion Road and Conroy Road. The project will commence in June and is scheduled for completion in the fall. This will improve the quality of the road, reduce vibrations to the homes abutting Hunt Club, and create a safer arterial road to drive on. If you have any questions about the exact locations of the project, please contact my office at 613580-2480.

The Gathering of the Eagles – National Prayer Summit showcased First Nations traditions and offered time for prayer, healing and discussion from May 26 to 29 at Tudor Hall.
Hope, healing and reflection to NEED MORE help wake ‘sleeping giants’ Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Some came for deep worship, some for reflection, while still others engaged in discussing the necessary next steps to help First Nations people journey on a path towards healing. They came to take part in the Gathering of the Eagles – National Prayer Summit hosted by First Nations, Inuit and Métis Christian leaders at Tudor Hall in the Hunt Club community, from May 26 to 29. Forty years ago evangelical Christian evangelist Billy Graham, former adviser to a number of U.S. presidents said native Americans are “sleeping giants” who are awakening. He was trying to encourage native people to look beyond the wounds of the past, said Kenny Blacksmith, event organizer and founder and executive director of Gathering Nations International, a registered charitable organization that fosters reconciliation and healing, trains youth and provides humanitarian aid. “(First Nations people) blame the white man for their problems, they blame the government, they blame the churches and the Indian residential schools,” said Blacksmith, a member of the Cree First Nation, from central Quebec. “We want our people to look beyond (Graham’s words) and look for the healing that’s going to be more lasting healing from the wounds of the past and take ownership of some of these issues.” Blacksmith is referring to the mental, physical and sexual abuse that Aboriginal Peoples suffered in Indian residential schools and through the government’s assimilation policies. “We’re basically hoping to stir up faith and
hope and healing,” he said of the summit. Aboriginal chiefs from across Canada and members of parliament, as well Prime Minister Stephen Harper were invited to the event. With the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada set to wrap its five-year mandate May 31 to June 3 in Ottawa, it is important that next steps be identified to help more people continue the healing process. The commission has been documenting what happened in the residential schools, where more than 150,000 First Nations, Métis and Inuit children were placed. According to the commission’s website, there were in excess of 130 governmentfunded and church-run schools across Canada from the 1870s up to 1996. The commission estimates today there are approximately 80,000 residential school survivors. “And we’re asking our people, is that door going to be closed or is it just going to remain open with a lot of anger and frustration, loss of hope?” Blacksmith said. “Where does it go from here?” The goal of the summit was to help improve and build relationships between natives and the government, churches and all people, through prayer and discussion. “We’re pulling for more meaningful reconciliation and healing and relationships in Canada on a spiritual level,” said Blacksmith, adding the challenge for Aboriginal Christian leaders today is to engage more First Nations people in that faith. “We have a story to tell one another, to encourage one another that maybe there’s some building blocks that are existing already and we need to just move to rebuild relationships, restore relationships, restore faith in spiritual faith,” said Blacksmith, an ordained Christian reverend.

Haiti school to benefit from young entrepreneurial efforts Continued from page 1
“I was like the shy guy, too,” said Illyas Charania, 11, who has been making phone calls over the course of the project, some of which didn’t pan out. “But it’s really working out for me and I’ve learned that you shouldn’t be afraid of doing it,” he said. For many kids, the best part of the entrepreneurial project they launched in February has been “just knowing we are helping these kids,” said Claire Viitaniemi, 11. Through their entrepreneurial fundraising venture, called Be The Change – One Brick at a Time, the kids have worked tirelessly designing their campaign and reaching out to their own family members and businesses in the community, such as in Riverside South and Manotick. They have also shared their message with other Steve MacLean students and have been impressed by the generosity shown by even the youngest children. Elsa Faisal, 11, presented their cause to a kindergarten class and one inspired child brought in the contents of his piggy bank. “I thought that was so cute because he’s so sincere about it and he wanted to help so much,” she said, adding that she believes it’s important for school-age children to learn about some of the hardships people are facing around the world. “We’re only (11 and) 12 making a difference and if they start earlier they can make an even bigger impact,” said Emma Shimizu, 12.
“(Our teacher) thinks that we shouldn’t be living under a rock and that we should know what’s going on in the world,” Elsa added. “And I am totally OK with that because I feel like I don’t want to live in a place where everything for me is rainbows and daisies.” Though they are nearing the $14,000 mark, there is potential for them to amass $20,000 before the cheque is presented to Solidarité Haiti on April 23, well above their initial $12,000 goal to pay for a new classroom. Not long into their efforts, they decided to strive for $15,000 to equip the room with computers. “I am very proud of them,” said Marc Tremblay, a Grade 6 French immersion teacher who has been guiding the students through the venture along with Grade 6 teacher Natalie Martyn. The kids also collected funds last month from residents at the nearby Metro and Moncion’s Your Independent Grocer, and raised almost $600 by hosting a Lego candy brick sale at the school in early February. They’ve also received support from BMO, and mentorship from Charles Goodfellow from Goodfellow Cleaners in Riverside South. And until April 15 M&M Meat Shops at 990 Main St. in Manotick, a portion of the sales of select items will go to the fundraiser. Customers are asked to mention Steve MacLean and Be The Change. “It’s nothing like a normal class. It’s anything but what you would normally teach,” Tremblay said. He has watched the students

Fifty-six Grade 6 students at Steve MacLean Public School in Riverside South, including Illyas Charania, left, Anya Kylas, Elsa Faisal, Shailen Raval, Fiona Bousada, Jessica Pope, Claire Viitaniemi and Emma Shimizu, have rallied their community behind their quest to pay for a new classroom at a school in Haiti. rise to the challenge and overcome obstacles to realize their goals, similar to his Grade 6 students four years ago who generated $12,500 for another charity. In Tremblay’s eyes, the students have learned invaluable lessons he hopes will stay with them for years to come, including leadership, problem solving, communication, perseverance and teamwork. “We’re slowly getting along and now we’re here and we’re going sky high,” said Shailen Raval, 11. The project has allowed
many of the kids to capitalize on their strengths and channel their creativity by working on different committees, from communications to managing a website. “Because of its magnitude and its scope, the project allows students to find a niche – what they really can offer that is valuable to the project and its outcome,” said Tremblay, an Aylmer, Que. resident. “And you know then that you truly are building something that’s of value and that will indeed impact students in another community, people that
don’t have the same opportunities that we have.” GET IN ON THE FUN
More public fundraisers are in the works, including a Family Trivia Fun Night at the school on April 9. Trivia teams of four to six people can register online for $50, and food can also be ordered online at bethechangesmps.weebly. com. The event will include live music, karaoke, a cafe, cake walk, face painting and bingo, among a host of other fun and
games. Prizes valued at more than $7,500 will be up for grabs. Doors open at 4:30 p.m. and the bingo begins at 6 p.m. Register online to test-drive a Ford vehicle on April 18, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the school, located at 4175 Spratt Rd. Dan Murphy Ford of Manotick will host the Ford Drive 4 UR Community test-drive fundraiser. For every licensed driver who participates, the company will donate $20 to Be The Change, up to $6,000. To register, visit the group’s website. M&M Meat Shops will host a barbecue during the event.

City, museums launch treasure trove of online records Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
A project nine years in the making has put Ottawa’s history online for all to see – something the city’s community museums hope will boost interest in local heritage. The Ottawa museums and archives virtual collections catalogue launched March 30, instantly making 30,000 records of artifacts, images and documents available to the world. But it’s mostly local residents, students and researchers expected to dive down the archival rabbit hole, which includes everything from armadillo carcass handbags to vintage Ottawa Citizen photographs. “I’m going to love this and I’m sure residents are going to love this just as much,” said Bay Ward councillor and Deputy Mayor Mark Taylor, who helped launch the site at the city archives building in Nepean. “When you see 10,000 web hits in the first
week, that’s me late at night clicking on everything.” The digitization project was mandated through the city’s 20/20 Heritage Plan, which called for a city-wide collections data base. It includes collection catalogues from the city’s archives and two of its community museums: Billings Estate National Historic Site and Cumberland Heritage Village Museum. Another five communityrun museums also offered up their digital catalogues: the Goulbourn Museum in Stittsville, the Diefenbunker in Carp, Osgoode Township Museum in Vernon, the Bytown Museum downtown and Museoparc in Vanier. Collectively, the new website hosts 30,000 records, each searchable by keywords and collection. Not everything has a photo attached, but the idea is that if a resident can find a record of the item they want, they can then call or visit the location to see it in person. “(It) is an amazing online
tool that lets users discover the history of their city right at their fingertips,” Taylor told a small crowd of city and museum staff. John Lund, a city archivist and the project’s manager, said the catalogue will grow over time as museum and archive staff continue to dump data into the system. The city is also open to welcoming other community partners to join the project, whether that’s a local historical society or one of the community museums not yet involved. OMN members Nepean Museum, Fairfields Heritage House, Pinhey’s Point Historic Site and Watson’s Mill are noticeably missing from the list of collections, and that’s in part because some museums don’t have artifact collections to speak of, Lund said. Watson’s Mill, for example, is a “living museum” in the sense that the working grist mill is itself the artifact – and that’s hard to turn into individual data records.

Ottawa Museum Network chairwoman Kathryn Jamieson, with Bay ward Coun. Mark Taylor, says the city’s digital archives project will increase public access to local history. “It’s a question of whether they have the artifacts, and if they have photographs of the artifacts,” Lund said. That’s not to say the city will turn them away if they want to contribute; on the contrary, Lund said. “This project is a starting
point,” he said. “We’re pretty open to any Ottawa museum or heritage institution. If they approached us and had interest in participating, we would look at working with them to bring them on board.” Kathryn Jamieson, curator
at the Goulbourn Museum and chairperson of the Ottawa Museum Network, said the new website greatly expands the amount of content available to the public at any given time. See PATRONS, page 21

Kudos, condemnation during western LRT meeting Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
Westboro residents are digging in to reject plans for trenched light rail through their neighbourhood in favour of a fully-buried line between Dominion and Cleary stations. The city held a public consultation at city hall on March 30 to discuss new plans for a 1.2-kilometre stretch of track that was subject to a 100-day negotiation period between city staff and the National Capital Commission this winter. The city is studying three light-rail extensions east, west and south of the Confederation Line currently under construction, which would eventually add 19 more stations and 30 kilometres of track to the city’s transit network by 2023. But last fall the NCC rejected the city’s plans for a section that runs near Rochester Field, on the grounds that the open trench design would block access to the Ottawa River and destroy local green space. The two groups agreed to
spend 100 days negotiating two options – one through Rochester Field and Byron Linear Park, and the other buried under Sir John. A. Macdonald Parkway. On March 6 the working group announced its preferred plan will bury most of the line under a realigned parkway between the two stations. Only one small section west of Dominion station would still be in an open trench, running below grade for about 200 metres before descending into an underground portal in time to cross the northern end of Rochester Field. That stretch is a primary concern for some Westboro residents who live near the proposed track. Jacques Vachon with LRT lobby group Underground Solution said it’s unfair that the city managed to find enough money to address the rest of the NCC’s concerns, but couldn’t live without the estimated $20 million saved by not burying the Westboro section. “It’s a substantial amount, but its $20 million on a billion,” he said. “For two per cent more

Engineer David Hopper explains the city’s western LRT plans to resident Wayne Mercer at a March 30 meeting. we can bury 25 per cent more.” Cheryl Ford, who lives on Dominion Avenue, said she fully supports the LRT project but she wants it “to be done right.” That means putting the trenched section underground
SAVE ANYWHERE. In partnership with
to protect green space and save residents from excess light and noise pollution, overhead wires and unsightly infrastructure, she said. “It won’t look like the pictures they show with people
walking in green space,” Ford said. But not everyone was upset with the compromise. Wayne Mercer, who lives near Cleary station on the west end of the segment, congratulated planners “for coming up with such a great result.” “It’s a compromise but it’s a better compromise than I could have envisioned,” Mercer said. As part of the proposal, the parkway’s westbound lanes would shift further south, increasing usable shoreline space by 38 per cent and allowing for the development of a national waterfront park. It would also add two new multi-use underpasses to increase access to the river and cut down on illegal parkway crossings. While Mercer said he feels for his neighbours further east, overall the new plan is hugely improved. “From a personal standpoint, I’m 98 per cent happy. From the standpoint of the community and nature and my neighbours, I would like to see that 200 metres buried,” he said.
Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper said it wouldn’t be impossible to bury the section if there was enough of a groundswell advocating for that – but it wouldn’t be easy, either. “It’s going to be a challenge to find the money for it,” he said. The true cost of putting that section underground is still unknown, Leiper added, so there would have to be extensive research and costing exercises done to see if the change would be financially feasible. While cost savings can always be found, staff can also “hold bidders’ feet to the fire” during tendering to make sure it gets done inside council’s approved budget envelope of $980 million, he said. But if all else failed and staff need more money to get it done, Leiper warned not to underestimate the cost-savvy attitude of council, which would ultimately have to approve any extra spending. “It’s a small percentage increase, but council has been very budget-conscious,” he said.

The Royal to axe 18 positions amid budget crunch Increasing costs and frozen budget leads to $4.2-million gap Steph Willems
steph.willems@metroland.com
The Royal announced March 30 that it will be cutting staff positions as it wrestles with rising operational costs and a fixed budget. A total of 18 full-time positions will be cut from its overall compliment of 1,500 staff, while another 8.8 posi-
tions will be reclassified once they become vacant. The mental-health centre said it believes most of the job reductions can be made through eliminating vacant positions, re-assigning staff and voluntary retirement. The news comes after the Ottawa Hospital and Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario announced similar cuts to staffing levels. The root of the problem is a lack of increased funding from the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care as the province tries to reduce its
$12.5 billion deficit. The Royal, which has a base operating budget of
“Access to mental health care is a matter of growing importance to our commu-
“We hope that future funding will reflect the significance (of ) mental health and help us provide more services to more people ...” George Weber, president and chief executive officer of the Royal
$161.4 million, hasn’t seen a funding increase in four years. The years 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 each saw a one per cent boost in funding.
nity so we will continue to work towards reducing our wait times despite our challenge to reduce costs,” said George Weber, president and chief executive of the Royal,
in a statement. “We hope that future funding will reflect the significance (of) mental health and help us provide more services to more people – not only at the Royal but throughout the continuum of care.” The Royal pointed out that the treatment of mental health and addiction issues has been singled out by the provincial and federal governments as a high priority. On the same day as the announcement, the Ontario government pledged $587 million to combat homelessness.
In addition to the staffing reductions, the Royal will be pursuing other cost-saving measures to make up the funding gap. The Royal is the latest hospital in the region to be impacted by budget constraints. The Almonte General Hospital in Feburary cut 10 nursing positions. The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario is preparing to ax 40 to 50 positions. The Ottawa Hospital is also eliminiating 35 full-time positions.
Patrons can view collections not usually on display Continued from page 18
“All of the museums have quite large collections, but typically only a small percentage is used in exhibits,” Jamieson said, noting that items not on display are usually locked up in storage except for special days like Doors Open Ottawa. “This allows us to get all of our artifacts online over time, and people will be able to see what we have.” Osgoode Township Museum manager Robin Cushnie said access to the remote museum’s catalogue has just increased exponentially by
letting people see what the museum has before they make the trip. “We are in an inaccessible location if you’re not able to drive to us,” she said. Instead of trekking there only to discover the information you need isn’t available, now you can find what you need online and simply call up the museum to get copies. “We’ve gone from being a tiny little museum in Vernon to being a museum in the world,” said Jane Cooper, a museum volunteer.

One World - One Ball
Chris Whan/Metroland
Lee A. Farruga, who goes by the pseudonym ‘the Geeky Godmother,’ reads to children during the Ottawa Geek Market on March 29. The three-day event saw people from all over the city flock to merchants’ tables full of all kinds of geeky gear.
The Canadian National Floorball team is looking for eligible players to tryout April 19 10am to 11:30am at the Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre to make a rooster of 40 players to play in the Canada Cup Floorball Championships May 16-18, 2015.
Geeks gather at Nepean arena Chris Whan
whan0012@algonquinlive.com
Eligible players - Women born prior to May 1, 1997 and up to May 1, 2001 (19-15 years of age)
The Ottawa Geek Market was in full swing March 29. With a second arena needed to house the event, cosplayers, gamers and geeks from all over the city gathered to check out and potentially buy all kinds of geeky gear. From buttons to necklaces, wigs to weapons, shopkeepers from as far away as Halifax peddled their wares to people dressed in costumes ranging from cartoon characters to video game protagonists. One such couple dressed up in what is known as Steampunk. Costumes and props in the genre are a mixture of Victorian England and modern technology, usually powered by steam,
hence the name. Josephine Temperance and Dr. Gustave Morbeus – most likely not their real names, but they identified themselves as such – had all sorts of gadgets and gizmos to show off to the crowd. One such invention looked like a wooden box with copper pipes and glass, but according to the good doctor, was a temporal rift generator, which allowed Temperance and Morbeus to travel through time. Though the devices had no such power, onlookers were still very enamoured with the amount of work that went into the device as well as the pair’s appearance. “They’re very beautiful,” said event-goer Lauren Daly Harrod. “I love the amount of work that went into their costumes.”
Also at the event was the “Geeky Godmother” who, at scheduled times during the weekend, read nerdy children’s stories to children. One such story was a children’s version of Star Wars. Like Comiccon and Pop Expo, the event was geared towards the people who have difficulty finding a place to fit in within society. “These are my people,” said Daly Harrod who hails from Ottawa. “I always feel very welcomed and a part of something during these events.” The event ran from March 27 to 29 and is a precursor to the upcoming Ottawa Comiccon in May, which showcases artists and products from genres such as sci-fi, horror, anime, gaming and comic books.

Celebrate around the world Easter traditions at Billings Estate Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
In doing some research on egg jarping or egg tapping, an English tradition that dates back to the Middle Ages, Kelly Eyamie was surprised to learn competitors today can take their egg-breaking abilities to the world stage. The goal is to use a hardboiled egg to crack another person’s egg. “They have a world championship of egg jarping,” said Eyamie, audience development officer with the city’s museum and heritage program. “They take it very seriously over in England.” “Once your egg finally breaks you are expected to eat it just to ... demonstrate that (you) didn’t put cement in it or anything,” said Brahm Lewandowski, the city’s museum administrator. The English tradition and a host of Easter customs celebrated in countries around the world will be available for people to try on Saturday, April 4, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the Billings Estate National Historic Site. “So it’s a little tour around the world of us taking different Easter traditions from different countries,” said Eyamie. The upcoming Easter function marks the seventh year a
public Easter event will be held at the historic house. Last year, the event, which was themed around famous rabbits, drew more than 400 people, many of whom come from across the city and the surrounding area. “I think it’s something affordable that families can do together that’s different and engaging for kids,” Eyamie said. “So you’re introducing them to history and at the same time you’re going out on an Easter egg hunt, you’re doing crafts, you’re playing games. “So what a great way to introduce kids to some traditions from around the world and what the Billings Estate is about.” This year, the Easter bunny will once again be available during the event for photos and to meet with children. The family fun will include face-painting, an outdoor Easter-egg hunt during which children can search for chocolate eggs, and hands-on activities such as roasting marshmallows at a bonfire, which is a Scottish tradition, Irish egg-rolling races, which will be a weatherdependent outdoor activity, and throwing water-sponges at fake rabbit targets. This water event is designed to echo Dyngus Day Easter activities in countries like Hungry, during which people have buckets of water dumped on them or they pick people up
be held outdoors at the museum, located at 2100 Cabot St. The cost of the event is $6 per person, $10 for two and $16 per family. Cash payments are preferred. The site features free parking. Transit users can take the 149 bus to the museum, or the 87 and 97 buses to the nearby Pleasant Park Transit Station. NEW EXHIBIT TO OPEN

Brahm Lewandowski, the city’s museum administrator, and Kelly Eyamie, audience development officer with the city’s museum and heritage program, demonstrate egg jarping, in which competitors try to break each other’s hard-boiled egg. The public is invited to try this and a host of other family friendly Easter activities at Billings Estate Museum on April 4. and throw them in a river, Lewandowksi said. The Hungarian Easter tradition of sprinkling perfume on people will be showcased at the estate, also with a twist. Participants will be able to make clove- and lavender-scented perfumes. Ukrainian egg painting will also be demonstrated, and
people will have the chance to colour eggs with natural dyes, using beets, cabbage and turmeric. Children will also enjoy pinning the tail on large rabbit and fox cutouts. “Some countries – if the Easter bunny is busy – they have an Easter fox who would also deliver Easter treats,” Le-
wandowski said of the tradition celebrated in Germany and parts of Switzerland. “They also have an Easter stork and an Easter rooster,” he said. “The world’s a big place, so the Easter bunny can’t necessarily make it everywhere.” People are encouraged to dress according to the weather, since a number of activities will
This year, the Billings Estate Museum marks the 200th birthday of Sabra Billings, the first child of Braddish and Lamira Billings – the original owners of the Billings Estate – and the first settler born in Gloucester. The museum exhibit, entitled, Settlers to Skyscrapers – the Making of a Capital City, opens May 10. “She is a fascinating woman,” Eyamie said of Sabra, who lived to be 97 years old and called the Billings Estate, which was built in 1829, her home for much of her life. “She was very proper, very strict.” Sabra, who never married, was considered an entrepreneur, a farmer, community builder and a philanthropist. She also had the first church built in the community. “So we’re looking at 200 years of Ottawa’s history through her eyes,” Lewandowski said.

She also moderates parents’ comments to ensure the information being shared is correct. “The Facebook format acts like a bit of a talk show, where we invite audience participa-

Ottawa Public Health has launched a “one-stop shop” online destination for parents seeking health information for their children. The city’s public health arm has created Parenting in Ottawa, a new web initiative, providing parents access to bilingual resources on a range of topics – from pregnancy and breastfeeding to puberty and sexual health. “Parenting in Ottawa just got a little easier,” said Sherry Nigro, the manager of health promotion and disease protection at Ottawa Public Health. Nigro said 80 to 90 per cent of parents are online and two thirds of them use social media regularly to get information. “With so much information out there, they tell us it’s overwhelming, and that what they really need is a place to ask a trusted source if what they’re reading is accurate and safe,” Nigro told reporters at the Mary Pitt Centre in Nepean. The website – www.parentinginottawa.com – was launched on March 16 and links parents with local community resources. Ottawa Public Health launched a Facebook group to accompany the website, and has already attracted around 8,500 followers, who have asked more than 250 questions from the staff. The page can be found by searching “Parenting in Ottawa” on Facebook. In addition to connecting par-

Free-throws boost Best Buddies Carleton students raise money for people living with intellectual disabilities Patrick Longchamps
PatrickLongchamps@gmail.com
Carleton University students have a lot of buddies. Students have helped raise money for a non-profit organization for people with an intellectual disability called Best Buddies Canada by hosting an event called Hooping It Up on March 27. The event was a free-throw competition where, for $2, students had one minute to sink as many balls as they could for their buddy, and winners had a chance at a prize. “The top-scoring students
in Canada will be awarded a $500 prize, so this is pretty exciting stuff,� said Heather Brown, senior program and expansion manager with Best Buddies Canada. There were three grand prizes of $500 and also many other prizes for those involved in the competition. Gift cards were awarded to the top male, top female and top buddy, along with draws for some smaller prizes for everyone involved in the event. Best Buddies Canada is a program that helps individuals with intellectual disabilities create friendships with student volunteers so they can have the same experiences as everyone else. “Best Buddies has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life and seeing the happy faces of our buddies is worth all the effort,� said
Salena Nanwani, co-president of the Carleton University chapter of Best Buddies. “It’s amazing to see people who have a disability but are so happy and full of life. Their energy is what keeps me going and why I love working with them.� The organization expected about 100 schools to get involved this year; an increase of about 20 schools compared to last year. “In terms of chapters in Ottawa, there are 19, and across Canada there are more than 350,� said Brown. “In regard to the amount of people at Carleton University, there are 25 students and 25 buddies. “It’s great to have the support from the student leaders. Last year the program wasn’t running too well and the year before the program was nonexistent.�

CHEO recognizes leaders in children’s health Brier Dodge
brier.dodge@metroland.com
Organizations from all over Eastern Ontario were recognized for keeping kids healthy in a wide variety of ways by CHEO on March 25. The CHEO Healthy Kids Awards were held at Funhaven, and hosted by CHEO’s president and CEO Alex Munter. “These are the Oscars of child health,” he said, adding that there were close to 100 nominations submitted for the five awards. Innes ward Coun. Jody Mitic helped present the awards on behalf of the city, and said it was important for children to have good role models growing up who have healthy habits. “All kids have people they should look up to, and I know I did as a kid,” he said. “Children need role models they can aspire to be like. We want our kids to grow up strong and healthy so they can lead long, meaningful lives.” The Youth for Youth award recognized Carleton University Sign Student Society, who have worked to bridge the gap between American Sign Language users and the rest of the community after the Ottawa Deaf Centre closed two years ago.
The award was accepted by the society’s president, David MacMillan, who said they hope to work with CHEO patients and help CHEO promote sign language rights. The entire awards ceremony was translated into American Sign Language by an interpreter who stood near the stage. The Community Champion Award was given to North Gower’s Helen Meinzinger, who created Kaiden’s Care Kids to assist families who have a newborn diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. Her own son, Kaiden, was born in 2009 with Cystic Fibrosis. She won a $35,000 grant to help fund a national pilot project, which lead to the kits official adoption by Cystic Fibrosis Canada. “I’m a part of the RCMP - I’m a bit of a fighter and I don’t take things sitting down,” Meinzinger said. “This year, every family in Canada with a newborn diagnosed with CF will receive a pack.” The Community Program Award went to the Osgoode Youth Association, and was presented to Nicole McKerracher. The youth centre supports rural youth, and has over 700 participants. It is mostly volunteer run, with only four part-time staff, and 120 volunteers, who McKerracher

thanked in her speech. Without OYA, she said youth “would not otherwise have the opportunity to be engaged in the programming we provide in the critical after school hours.” The Help for Special Needs Award went to the Lanark Family Relief Program, who brought along many of the families they serve to enjoy the play areas at Funhaven while the awards took place in a back room. The award was accepted by Carol Anne McNeil, who said the respite care they provide families with children with complex needs is essential. “Families who are out there looking after children with complex needs… are often exhausted by the process,” she said. “It’s truly a miracle they survive the process. We only hope we can build more programs.” The program has over 300 family relief workers and opened their children’s respite home in 2006, which gives families up to two weeks of respite care at a time. They’ve since opened their second and third of these homes. The Health Advocacy and Public Education Award was given to the founder of KidActive, Shawna Babcock. KidActive, based out of Renfrew County, promotes children playing outdoors and advocates to improve access to outdoor environments like schoolyards and commu-

The Ottawa Hospital has to find a way to slash $26 million from its budget for the upcoming fiscal year.
Ottawa Hospital to cut 35 full-time positions Alex Robinson
alex.robinson@metroland.com
The Ottawa Hospital is set to slash 35 full time positions as part of cost-cutting measures to deal with a potential $26 million budget hole in 2015-16. Stagnant provincial funding and rising costs have led to budget cuts at the hospital over the last three years, said Cameron Love, the hospital’s chief operating officer. “Unfortunately the reduction in spending means we need to reduce our staffing levels and that’s because the salaries and benefits are the single biggest expense of our organization, accounting for up to two-thirds of our budget,” he said after notices were sent out on March 24. Love said the hospital has still been able to improve the quality of its service over the last three years, despite having to streamline some programs, but that if the hospital continues to have to make cuts it would be hard to sus-
tain the quality of care. “This is not something you can continue on with for 15 years with the same mechanism,” he said. The elimination of the 35 full time positions makes up part of $14 million in savings the hospital has already planned for. The hospital will announce further measures in the coming months to meet the additional $12 million, Love said. The eliminated positions will include nursing and administrative jobs at the hospital, which has 11,000 employees. The hospital will only be dropping the equivalent of 22 full time employees, as 13 of the positions are already vacant. Many hospitals across Ontario have had implement budget cuts over the last three years, as the provincial government has frozen the level of base funding. An aging population, inflation and general population growth have driven hospital costs up, as they try to do more with
less. CHEO recently announced it was eliminating more than 40 positions to deal with its own $6.7 million shortfall. Dr. Eric Hoskins, the minister of health and long-term care, responded to the job reduction announcement by the Ottawa Hospital by saying the government has boosted hospital funding from $11.3 billion in 2003-04 to $17 billion this year, including an increase of more than $200 million for Ottawa Hospital during that time. “Our healthcare system is dynamic,” he said in a statement. “As we add and change programs, staffing levels may change” “Our hospitals do excellent work and do not make these decisions lightly,” he added. “Hospitals are constantly looking at how to deliver quality care at lower costs in order to maintain the exceptional service that patients receive. Our expectation is that LHINs work together with hospitals in the community to manage their budgets and provide the highest quality of care to patients in their communities.”

Winter was still a long way from being over “Don’t count on it,” Father said from behind the Family Herald and Weekly Star. Mother, instead of sitting at the end of the old pine table in front of her diaries as usual, was that night was gathering up mitts, wool hats, and ordering us, the five of us, to put our long underwear in the dirty clothes, because it wasn’t likely we would be wearing it again the next day. Coming from the Northcote school that day, we had to carry our coats as the sun beat down on us, and the smell of spring was in the air. Just a few days before, it was cold and a fierce wind cut across the Twenty-Acre Field, and there was no doubt in anyone’s mind that winter was still around. But now, so soon after, the weather changed, and we could see that much of the snow had gone from the fields, and the Northcote Side Road was bare. It was no wonder Mother said spring was in the air, and it was time to get rid of the heavy clothes and that included the long underwear we had been wearing since the first bite of winter in the fall. There wasn’t one of us who wasn’t thrilled to be rid of the terrible long johns. After months of weekly washings, they had lost their softness, the ankles were stretched beyond repair, and the elastic around the waist hung limp. We were more than happy to bid the long underwear goodbye. That night, Mother was gathering up the mitts, scarves and hats and piling everything on a chair near the back door. It wasn’t Monday, so there would be no washing. Everything would have to wait for the laundry tub until after the weekend. I could see Father shaking his head from his rocking chair by the Findlay Oval. Finally, he couldn’t keep quiet any longer. “I’m telling you Mabel, there’s plenty winter out there yet. Everyone will be back in that long underwear, you can bet on it.” Mother stopped gathering up the mitts, hats and scarves. “Now, Albert, where were you all day? I’m telling you we’ve seen the last of the snow. Sure, it’s like May out there today.” Father lifted the lid off the Findlay Oval and slapped his pipe into the firebox, emptying it and getting ready for another load of pipe tobacco. He took his time sitting back down in the rocking chair. And then he went on to explain to Mother once again all the signs that pointed to a long winter and that it wasn’t over yet, and it mattered not how warm it was that day, or if all the snow had gone off the Northcote Side Road. He explained a sure sign was how deep the early snow was. “That’s a sure sign. If the deer can reach the branches of the trees, you can count on a long winter.” He relit his pipe. “And remember when we butchered and the pig liver ‘melt’ showed those little lumps?

MARY COOK Memories Mother just shook her head, and once again told Father that those “old wives tales” as she called them, held no water with her. The next morning, I could hear Father in the kitchen lighting the fire as he did every morning. And the bedroom had chilled off overnight, as I ran to jump into my clothes for school, so glad to be rid of the long underwear. But it seemed awfully bright out the bedroom window and it wasn’t an early morning sun either. I went to the window and lo and behold, the snow was coming down in buckets. And it looked like it had snowed all night. Then I heard Mother coming up the stairs. She had dug out the long underwear from the pile of clothes we had taken off the night before and without a word, handed them over to each of us.
“There wasn’t one of us who wasn’t thrilled to be rid of the terrible long johns. When we went downstairs for breakfast, our hats, mitts and scarves were waiting for us at the back door. Father came in from the chores and sat down at the table for his breakfast. Mother was banging the frying pan around on the top of the stove. She was wearing the look she wore when she was as mad as a hatter. Father knew better than to mention the signs he had talked about the night before or to say, “I told you so,” when Mother hissed, “and I don’t want to hear about the deer eating low branches or spots of a pig’s liver.” The snow was as deep as it had been at the first of the winter and we would find out it would come down for the next three days. Even my brother Emerson, who usually had a lot to say, never opened his mouth at the kitchen table that morning except to shovel in some porridge and toast. It was the quietest breakfast we’d had in a long time. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books? Go to smashwords.com and type MaryRCook for e-book purchase details.

Businessman, police officer seek to replace departed Baird Megan Delaire
mdelaire@metroland.com
Two candidates have announced their intention to seek the Conservative nomination in the Ottawa WestNepean riding.
Businessman Scott Singer and Ottawa police officer Abdul Abdi are now vying for the chance to take former MP John Baird’s place. The party will name their candidate for a future election on April 13 during a
nomination meeting at Centrepointe Theatre. According to his website, Singer was born and raised in Montreal, and moved to Ottawa with his wife in 1991. He holds a bachelor’s de-
gree in history from McGill University and is the coowner of Nate’s Delicatessen on Merivale Road Abdi’s website states that since moving to Canada from his native Somalia as a teenager, he worked for 11 years
as a law enforcement officer. According to his website, he is a member of the United Way Ottawa’s board of directors. The announcement follows Baird’s resignation from Parliament on March
16. Baird, who most recently served as minister of foreign affairs, stepped down after nine years and 20 years of involvement in politics. The 2015 federal election is scheduled to take place on Oct. 19.

City endorses infill in mature neighbourhoods Ontario Municipal Board to give final approval by May, planners predict Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
A five-year saga to determine how infill should be built in Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mature neighbourhoods has come to a close â&#x20AC;&#x201C; almost. Council endorsed a revised version of the bylaw on March 25, the result of mediation between city planners and local developers this January. The bylaw will now go to the Ontario Municipal Board for the final stamp of approval â&#x20AC;&#x201C; something city planners expect by early May. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a long-time coming: the original bylaw, which was created to address widespread infill development taking place in mature neighbourhoods like Hintonburg and Sandy Hill, began to take shape over two years of public consultation beginning in 2010. Council passed a version of the bylaw in
May 2012, but developers appealed it to the OMB. It has taken until now to resolve the outstanding issues and come up with a bylaw that everyone can live with â&#x20AC;&#x201C; no small feat, according to Barrhaven councillor and planning committee chairwoman, Jan Harder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This policy is the first of its kind in Canada. Nowhere else has a municipality developed a policy to preserve neighbourhood character,â&#x20AC;? she said, noting that the successful mediation process helped avoid the cost of an OMB hearing. The bylaw will require developers to do a streetscape character analysis to determine what are the streetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s de-
The applicant would need to look at 21 homes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ideally, five on either side of the lot in question and 11 across the street â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to figure out the dominant features in the immediate area. From there, the infill design would have to conform as much as possible to that pattern. The point is not to make infill match the nearby houses perfectly, said city planner Beth Desmarais, but instead to ensure nothing looks out of place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What really matters is how you feel, what happens as you move along the street,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jarring, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s different? You have to look at character from the level of the street.â&#x20AC;?
â&#x20AC;&#x153;This policy is the first of its kind in Canada. Nowhere else has a municipality developed a policy to preserve neighbourhood character.â&#x20AC;? JAN HARDER BARRHAVEN COUNCILLOR AND COMMITTEE CHAIRWOMAN
fining features when it comes to landscaping, parking and the locations of things like front doors. That applies not only to infill, but also to any extensions, additions or redevelopment of existing homes that are visible from the street.
She said the analysis is an extension of what architects already do when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re assigned a project: they drive up and down the street to get a sense of what they should be designing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought, it theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already doing that, why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t
we formalize it?â&#x20AC;? Desmarais said. Murray Chown, a project manager with Novatech and the representative for the bylawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appellants, said at a March planning committee meeting that he is â&#x20AC;&#x153;cautiously optimisticâ&#x20AC;? the revised bylaw is going to be a positive change. But he said it remains to be seen whether the streetscape tool will actually work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to know until we actually start using it,â&#x20AC;? he said. At a mediation session at the end of January, city planners and developers met in Toronto to discuss some of the appellantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; outstanding concerns with the bylaw, which was presented in its current form last May. As a result, several parts of the bylaw were modified ahead of councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approval on March 25. For example, the parking requirements changed slightly: while driveways and parking spaces should conform with the local street pattern (for example, onethird of the lot width), the bylaw also imposes maximums for each category. The planners and developers negotiated smaller driveway sizes for lots between 6 and 7.49 metres, while allowing shared driveways to be slightly larger than usual.
Lots 18 metres wide or more would be allowed a double wide driveway, Desmarais said. Another change was the removal of any mention of basement garages, in favour of a new definition that re-
quires the first floor to include a certain percentage of living space. Effectively, the change outlaws putting a garage on the ground floor with the front entranceway on the second storey, Desmarais said.

Great News for Elephants
0402.R0013201334
The Ottawa Humane Society has been long opposed to captive wild animals in entertainment. In 2002, the OHS lobbied city council to ban elephants and other captive wild animals in circuses and other entertainment. The city instead instituted a licensing regime. The OHS responded that the city should not license animal cruelty. In making its decision to phase out elephant acts by 2018, Ringling Bros. cited “a mood shift among
our consumers.” It also cited the difficulty of fighting local legislation that would affect its shows. The local legislation it is are referring to ranges from outright bans to the use of the notorious bullhook, a hooked tool commonly inserted in elephants’ skin to train and corral them. In the company’s statement, its CEO is quoted, “This decision was not easy, but it is in the best interest of our company, our elephants and our customers.” The fact that the

elephants’ interests were cited is not only new, but a tacit admission that the animals’ welfare was not served by the company’s practices. Today, only the annual Shrine Circus is a regular fixture in Ottawa. There is no legislation on the horizon. But in the end, money talks. It spoke to Ringling Bros. and it’s taking action.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 You are determined to get things done this week, Aries. You might want to start with that long list of chores that you have been putting off for some time. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, a challenge awaits you this week. Don’t be afraid to seek help from others, as recognizing you need help is a sign that you’re capable of handling this task.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, it’s easy to get your way this week, but try to remain humble. Others might not be so lucky, so offer your help in any way you can. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, enthusiasm about a new plan reigns supreme. You don’t need to convince others about your excitement. Just jump right in and get started on the project. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, your generosity knows no bounds and that is a trait people love about you. Continue this positive approach to life, and your efforts will be their own reward.
