The mysteries of email will soon be revealed. “I think what’s happening is people don’t fully understand how email works,” said Jeff Dubois, program co-ordinator with the Ottawa PC Users’ Group, a non-profit organization that brings PC enthusiasts together for presentations and other events. Taking the confusion out of email for the average user has prompted Dubois and the group’s treasurer, Alan German, to deliver an email workshop for the public titled, “Understanding email, everything you need to know and a few things you don’t.” The event will be held at the Alta Vista branch of the Ottawa Public Library on April 23, from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. “Why this is particularly important is because more and more people are getting smartphones and tablets and mobile devices,” said Dubois, an Alta Vista resident. People still often rely on their desktops or laptops for word-processing and other applications, but they’re turning more to mobile devices when checking and composing emails. “What happens is you have a mobile device and you set up your email, but then you find that, ‘Gee, that (email message is) on my phone but it’s not on my desktop (or vice versa),” Dubois said. Users may also be faced with the problem of unsuccessfully searching for the same emails on all the platforms they use. But that doesn’t have to be the case. Dubois has his email configured so that he can access his email programs on all of his devices, even if they are not connected to the Internet.

“That could be very important,” he said, adding this will also be a feature of the upcoming presentation. The discussion will also explore the benefits of having an email address that isn’t tied to an Internet provider. Additional topics during the four-hour workshop will include some of the technical aspects of email, as well as the threats and vulnerabilities of email and how to deal with spam and malicious content. Emails can often look like they’re from a reputable source, when, in fact, they are actually fake. Senders are often after your money or there may be viruses embedded in attached links. “We show a few tricks on tracing emails so you can see exactly where it comes from,” said Dubois. The workshop will also explore how people use their email, as well as the ins and outs of mail clients, such as Outlook, and webmail. “Most people don’t know the difference between webmail and a mail client,” said Dubois, adding that participants will also learn how they can access their emails in a phone app rather than just via a website. The workshop is at the Alta Vista library branch, located at 2516 Alta Vista Dr. Refreshments will be provided. Pre-registration and pre-paying the $10 fee to attend the workshop are recommended and can by done by visiting opcug.ca/public/index. htm. The fee will help the group offset the cost of renting the library space, said Dubois. Those interested can also register and pay at the door if space permits, but Dubois said that 20 people had already registered by April 7 and the meeting room only holds 35 people.

Autism support program changes stun families

“Some families on the waitlist with children who are five are already receiving letters that they will be getting the onetime payout.” VERONICA SAVAGE

COUPON

“The changes to how we deliver autism services will help more young people participate fully at home, at school, in the community and as they prepare to achieve their goals for adulthood.” Under this model, the province estimates two-year wait times will eventually be cut in half. Savage is pleased to know younger children will have access to services sooner, but wonders what will happen to other kids who may fall through the cracks. “We’ve been waiting our turn in a system that’s already flawed,” she pointed out. “To have this happen is heartbreaking, it’s absolutely devastating for families.” To fight the changes, families are banding together to sign (written and online) petitions and write letters to the province, specifically MacCharles, Conservative Critic Sylvia Jones, NDP Critic Monique Taylor, said Savage. The letters will be delivered to Premier Kathleen Wynne at Queen’s Park by Taylor.

Carleton Place mother Veronica Savage is reeling since the province announced March 29 it will be making changes to its autism treatment program. And she says she isn’t the only one. The amendments, part of a $333 million program rolling out over five years and come into effect May 1, surround Ontario’s Intensive Behavioural Intervention (IBI) program, where children over the age of five will no longer be eligible for treatment under the service. Instead, children over the age of five will be moved to the Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) program, a less intensive form of treatment.

Families with kids over five on the IBI waitlist, will be given a one-time funding sum of $8,000 “to immediately purchase community services or supports based on their children’s specific needs as they transition off the IBI waitlist,” noted a provincial government communiqué. “Some families on the waitlist with children who are five are already receiving letters that they will be getting the one-time payout,” Savage noted. Savage said these modifications will be destructive not only to her family (four-year-old son Hudson was diagnosed with severe autism in October 2014), but many others in the area with autistic children. “People are very upset...my son is not the only child in this area that will be affected by this,” she said, noting Hudson, who she calls a “wonderfully affectionate, adventurous

He was immediately put on the IBI waitlist after his diagnosis. “We’re reeling from these changes announced last week and I just got a call today that my son, who was to start IBI at the end of May, has been pushed back to July,” Savage continued. “It seems very calculated.” “So there will be just enough time to get to know the therapist, establish goals to start working towards and then it (funding) will be gone,” she said. The only government-funded therapy available, the IBI program is provided through a one-on-one or small group setting, by a trained behaviour therapist and focuses on learning behaviours such as imitation, co-operation and attention.

She hopes that with a collective voice, Ontario families with autistic children can make the Ontario government listen. “I think this announcement came out on March 29, just days before Autism Awareness Day on April 2.

Man who bought robbery hammers wanted by police Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Robbery investigators have tracked down video of a person of interest who purchased hammers believed to have been used in a smash-andgrab robbery at the Billings Bridge Shopping Centre. Police are hoping someone can make a positive ID through newly released images and a video of a man buying two large hammers at a south Ottawa hardware store on Jan. 3. Those tools may have been

used to smash glass cases at a jewelry store at the Billings Bridge mall on Jan. 4. Police are keeping mum on how they were able to figure out that those tools may have been used to commit the robbery. “It potentially could impact on the investigation,” Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, head of the police robbery unit, said of his reasons for not disclosing additional details. He also declined to reveal the address and name of the hardware store or a more specific geographic location of

the shop in order to protect the business’s identity. “We typically don’t divulge the name of a business or a bank (that has been robbed),” Haarbosch added. As well, he also would not reveal how the person of interest paid for the hammers, whether by credit or debit card or cash. Police have added the new video taken from the hardware store to a video released on Jan. 21 of a smash-and-grab jewlery store robbery at the Carlingwood Shopping Centre. The video also features

still images of the suspects involved in both that and the Billings Bridge robberies. It was on Dec. 23 around 6:20 p.m. when three masked male suspects smashed several jewelry store display cases at Carlingwood mall. They fled the premises with an undisclosed quantity of jewelry. No one was injured in the incident, but the robbery caused chaos among shoppers at the mall, many of whom mistook the sound of the breaking glass for gunshots. Many ran away from the store as the suspects demolished the cases. Less than two weeks later, on Jan. 4 around 8:30 p.m., four masked men entered a jewelry store at the Billings Bridge Shopping Centre. In similar fashion to the Carlingwood crime, one suspect used a large hammer to break several display cases, while the other suspects grabbed jewelry, according to police. No one was injured in the incident and the group fled into the mall. There may also have been a fifth suspect waiting for the group outside the shopping centre in a vehicle, Haarbosch previously told Metroland Media. No arrests have been made in connection with either case.

OTTAWA POLICE SERVICE/SUBMITTED

Police have released this image of a person of interest who they say purchased two large hammers at a south Ottawa hardware store on Jan. 3. The hammers are believed by police to have been used in a smash-and-grab robbery of a jewelry store at the Billings Bridge mall. Police are still operating under the suspicion the two robberies are linked due to the way they were carried out in a short period of time. “What role this guy (the person of interest) played in the first robbery (at Carlingwood the day before the hammer purchase), I couldn’t comment on at this point,” Haarbosch said. “But we’re satisfied the two robberies are connected.” In the wake of the smashand-grabs, police urged jewelry store employees to be extra vigilant and report any

suspicious activity or people to investigators, such as individuals loitering near jewelry stores or coming into a store and asking questions but not making a purchase. More recently, there was a smash-and-grab robbery at a second-hand store at the McCarthy Plaza in the Riverside Park community on Feb. 20. Two male suspects are wanted in connection to that crime. “At this point we don’t think or aren’t able to connect that to these other two (mall robberies),” Haarbosch said, adding that crime was different in several ways. “I mean, that’s on the table still. That’s not to say we couldn’t find something out and then make that linkage,” he added. The person of interest is described by investigators as a male between 18 and 25 years old, with a light brown complexion and a slim build. He also had dark, puffy hair. He was wearing a black, puffy vest, a grey long-sleeved sweatshirt, grey sweatpants and tan-coloured boots. The robbery suspects are all described by police as black males, between 18 and 25 years old. Each tried to mask their faces with scarves and they wore hoods over their heads. Anyone with information on these two robberies or the person of interest is asked to call the robbery unit at 613236-1222, ext. 5116, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

“The idea that it could be a community’s living room, that it fits within the ecosystem of a strong community, that it’s not just more residential,” said Clinton Cowan, president of the Alta Vista Community Association. “The key thing is that it’s not overly saturated and not one dimensional,” he said of a future development at 1495 Heron Rd. Public Services and Procurement Canada, which has managed the site since the federal government purchased it in 1973, expects to finalize its sale of the 7.3-hectare property to the federal arms-length Canada Lands Company this spring. Local residents hope any change will not only fit the character of the neighbourhood, but be planned with their needs in mind and with a long-term outlook. “Certainly not unimaginative big towers that are shortsighted. It’s very rare that you have a (seven-hectare) property in an established neighbourhood,” Cowan said, adding for that reason, it will be important for the community to have its say before Canada Lands sells it to a developer. “Obviously, when there’s a large chunk of land being redeveloped there’s a distrust to how it will unfold, that, are we going to get office towers in there, is there going to be a wrecking ball and things that are unimaginative in there, just big boxes and things that don’t interrelate to the community that are intrusive,” Cowan said. Given how Alta Vista residents appreciate the current design of the Federal Study Centre, its walkability and open spaces, they would not welcome a fenced-off, semiclosed development with service entrances at the back, he said. “The ultimate thing is to ... have it re-purposed, reanimated and preserve the 12 buildings that are there.” But, according to the federal public services department, the dozen buildings at the

The property will change federal hands this spring, ahead of its eventual sale on the open market. complex, which were used for government training and as a conference facility until 2011 and declared surplus in 2012, are in poor condition.

“Sometimes from an economic standpoint it just doesn’t make sense to recapitalize an asset and (that) was the case with this ... complex.” STÉPHANE HUOT, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, REAL ESTATE SERVICES IN THE NATIONAL CAPITAL AREA FOR PUBLIC SERVICES AND PROCUREMENT CANADA

“It would require significant upgrades to meet our accommodation standards and code regulations,” said Stéphane Huot, executive director of the federal department’s real estate services in the national capital area. “Sometimes from an economic standpoint it just doesn’t make sense to recapitalize an asset and (that) was the case with this ... complex,” he said, adding this would have required costly structural, mechanical and electrical upgrades. In its current unused state,

the property is racking up the bills. In 2015-16, it cost the public services department $1.14 million in maintenance costs, building security, basic operations and payments in lieu of taxes. “I would say it’s standard for an asset,” Huot said. “Costs are contained to the minimal just to make sure that the property is not creating a health hazard.” But if it were used at full capacity, operational costs would be higher, Huot said, but did not elaborate. There is some concern among residents that highdensity housing on the south side of Heron Road in the Herongate community could be replicated at the property, Cowan noted. That would be counter to the study centre’s design, which compliments the look and feel of the residential neighbourhood, he added. Since the complex was built between 1963 and 1965, its green space, which backs onto a city park and includes forest and open fields, has buffered nearby single-family homes. “It is a very exciting opportunity for the area. It is going to be in the long term,” said Alta Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier. See SITE, page 7

CONSULTATION PROMISED

Canada Lands will consult with the city and the community to develop “a vision and a master plan” for the property, a spokeswoman said, citing the example of its recently approved Wateridge Village redevelopment plan for the former CFB Rockcliffe. “We engaged in a robust consultation process with the community and city,” she said. For now, it’s too soon to determine when the company will sell the Federal Study Centre since it is still owned by public services, and the “due diligence” process has not yet begin, she wrote. The city’s early involvement in the training facility’s eventual overhaul will include mapping out guidelines for future change there and any development application approvals. “There is city interest in initiating a secondary planning process, which would engage the community and owner in terms of the repurposing of these lands and developing a concept plan to guide any future development,” Don Herweyer, the city’s manager of urban development

The city will also be involved in any planning, zoning, subdivision and site-plan approvals for the property, which is currently zoned institutional, Herweyer said. Canada Lands has indicated it will contact municipal staff once the property changes federal hands, he noted. The community wants to stay a step ahead of change by helping guide the city to implement a prezoning exercise, said Cowan, similar to what was done for the National Defence medical centre lands off Smyth Road. DND plans to sell that property, which is currently used for administration. In 2008, the city fleshed out a

Ottawa South MP David McGuinty, whose riding includes the study centre, said he plans to advocate on a number of fronts. “What I’m going to be fighting for here is making sure that whatever happens with this site is 1) fully transparent, 2) involves serious community consultation with the Ottawa South community at large and the immediate neighbourhoods,” he said. Before his Liberals won a majority, McGuinty wrote last July to John McBain, head of Canada Lands, inquiring about the property’s transfer status and its future plans for the site.

While Cloutier cautioned it is very early days in the property’s changeover process, he has asked municipal staff to put it on their work plan “so they could start at a very preliminary level thinking about what might be possible what would be acceptable for the city in that area.” It will be important for the city to be able to craft a plan that would help shape the future redevelopment “as it relates to employment lands, retail opportunities, mixed-use housing, transit ... that make for a more livable community,” Cloutier said. “We don’t want huge towering buildings there. We just want all that to be clear.”

“I’m going to fight very hard to make sure that this reflects the true needs and desires of the community,” he said. In his letter, he advocated that cutting-edge sustainable design features be featured in any future revitalization, that it be a net-zero carbon development and be energy efficient. “Maybe there’s some roof-top gardening in there, maybe there’s solar, maybe there’s mixed-use energy in there,” McGuinty told Metroland Media. “I just think there’s an incredible opportunity here to do something very, very unique in the heart of Alta Vista. We don’t have a lot of open space. We don’t have a lot of development opportunities like these.”

Taking a toll on every driver

olls on Ottawa roads or highways are now part of the conversation at city hall. The transportation committee has voted to have a report completed, and tolls will be one possibility. That any possible toll is many years or even a decade away is the only good news. The city needs more money for roads, goes one argument, and driver-related charges donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay all the costs associated with their upkeep. But non-drivers also benefit from roads; they buy the same goods as everyone else and those arrive on trucks. And those trucks arguably put more wear and tear on roadways than passenger vehicles. Even if we share the cost of travel more equitably, council needs a sense of scale. Tolls around the centre core may make sense in London, England, but not London, Ontario. Not Ottawa, Ontario, either. Tolls will no doubt deter travel; another nail in the coffin of downtown businesses already being squeezed by the massive free parking lots at shopping malls in Barrhaven and Kanata.

Few would argue that a new highway â&#x20AC;&#x201C; maybe a ring road around the city â&#x20AC;&#x201C; could come with a user fee. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beyond galling to ask drivers to pay for roads through their taxes, and then turn around and charge them to drive on those same streets. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re currently investing billions of dollars in light rail. If the eventual LRT system in the city encourages people to leave their cars at home, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good. That will be a sign of success. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to deter people from driving on publicly funded roads. Since thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no practical way to add lanes to Highway 417 or build a new highway into the core (thankfully), traffic volume will act as all the deterrent we need. And if the word toll raises its ugly head at city hall, councillors should be asked to tackle the obvious untapped revenue source presented by all the bridges across the Ottawa River. Every day, thousands of drivers who have paid nothing towards this cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s street maintenance cause wear and tear on our pavement as they zip in and out of our city.

The perks of coffee shops

ell, the sky didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fall when Bridgehead began serving wine a year or so ago, so maybe we shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry too much about Starbucks doing the same. The coffee house empire announced it would begin serving wines and craft beers in some Toronto locations, with plans to expand to other parts of Canada. There hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been much of an outcry over it, one way or the other, perhaps because there are more important things to worry about. Still, it would be nice in some ways if the experiment didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work. The growth of coffee culture has been a positive thing in North America and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d hate to see that jeopardized. Coffee culture is one of the useful concepts we have taken from

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town Europe in the last couple of decades. What a good idea it is to stop whatever we are doing to sit down somewhere and have a coffee with other people around, particularly in a society where people spend too much time rushing around, too much time by themselves, staring at computers or phones. One thing you notice in European cities is the absence of people walking down the street with takeout coffee cups in their hands. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because the people are inside a coffee house, sitting down

and relaxing with others. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing, and it was a good thing that Starbucks, followed by other national and local chains, brought it to North America. Of course, the importation was not perfect. In North America we had to add the blight of the drivethru, which undercuts the whole idea. And North America also contributed the laptop guy, who parks at a prime table for hours at a time. But overall, the coffee house has worked in North America, made life a little nicer. The vibe in the coffee house is different from that of a bar or tavern. It might be better for some, worse for others, but the point is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s different, more relaxed, more low-key, and many people like that. That could go if the coffee house starts acting like a wine bar. For one thing, it will make

things awkward, at the least, for under-age students. After the disappearance of the malt shop, where Archie and Jughead, Betty and Veronica used to hang out, teens have needed a gathering place and the coffee house has been that for some. That changes if the trend toward wine and beer in coffee house accelerates. It is sometimes difficult to understand why businesses that prosper by doing one thing well invariably decide that they need to do other things too. Fast food chains aspire to fine dining. Grocery stores sell bicycles. Hardware stores begin selling groceries. So do drugstores. Bookstores sell candles. Wal-Mart becomes a bookseller. Everything becomes the same. Which is why the coffee culture has been so refreshing. Unlike other gathering spots, nobody is yelling and the music isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t loud. The coffee house is not like EDITORIAL MANAGING EDITOR: 5IFSFTB 'SJU[

Connected to your community

Raise your hand because it’s time to volunteer

omewhere in a church basement on any given night of the week, a group of people are holding up the fabric of society. They are volunteers. They are holding committees, raising money, feeding the homeless. They are organizing rides for seniors, settling refugees, administering cooperative community programs such as childcare and meal deliveries. They are coaching your daughter’s hockey team, building better business environments in your community and collecting clothing or money for diabetes and heart disease. It’s desperately easy to presume that “someone else will look after it,” or “the government has or should have us covered.” The reality is that, in 2013, volunteerism accounted for two billion hours of work, the equivalent of one million full-time jobs. And make no mistake, we are relying on older people to govern and organize many of the services we rely on.

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse

It’s encouraging that 44 per cent of Canadians spent some time volunteering in 2013. But, mirroring the population, generally, volunteers are getting older. “In 2013, 28 per cent of all Canadian volunteers were aged 55 and older, compared with 26 per cent in 2010, 24 percent in 2007 and 23 per cent in 2004,” reported Statistics Canada in January. The older cohort of volunteers are more likely to do certain activities. Forty-two per cent of volunteers over 55, for example, sat

Letters to the Editor

Until moving to Stittsville, last summer, I was an active member of the Huff’n’Puff Seniors Fitness Association, of London, Ont. This umbrella organization provides both social and physical activities for seniors, while using the city’s facilities, during the low peak facility hours. Their programs run mainly Monday through Thursday and provide a vast array of activities for seniors. My plan is to bring the London format of Huff’n’Puff to Ottawa in the Name of Huffing and Puffing Ottawa Seniors Fitness Association. Huff’n’Puff Ottawa along with its city partners could bring about a significant change for seniors as well as bring in additional revenues to the city. By allowing seniors the use of facilities that would otherwise be hardly used, it means a great amount of

“The keys are affordability, ease of access to programs, a friendly and inviting environment, no intimidation, getting seniors out in the community and giving them a great deal to look forward to.” additional revenue is generated for use in other city programs. This additional revenue source could be used to sponsor youth in programs they could not otherwise afford. I’m not looking to take over or compete with the existing city programs but merely to enhance them and offer seniors an organization tailored to meet their requirements at a cost which encourages them to “give it a try.” London’s Huff’n’Puff members pay a mere $40 a year with an additional surcharge of $25 for those actives which involve the facilities for which rent is paid. The keys are affordability,

I listened to them give an account of those early settlement weeks and I was admittedly shocked to realize that the same people overseeing the committee, soliciting fundraising dollars and reporting back to their donors and church communities, were the ones doing the ground work. TIRELESS EFFORT

One woman had attended about six medical appointments with the refugee family within a few weeks. As a parent who’s spent a lot of time in dental and doctor offices for my own kids this year, just the thought of it exhausted me. Yet this woman seemed tireless as she plotted the next round of appointments and administrative tasks. She is in her sixties. It’s my hope that younger generations will step up and step in to fill the shoes of the dedicated older generation.

City of Ottawa

Giving a spark to activities for seniors a worthy effort To the editor,

on a committee in 2013, compared with just over one third of those aged 35 to 54. Recently, I was invited to speak as a guest at a committee of a group that has been settling an average of one to two refugee families per year for more than two decades. They provided an update on the two families. One had reached the end of the 12-months of sponsorship, and the group was helping them make the transition to independence. The other had arrived midwinter. With a number of children, the first six weeks had been a flurry of appointments – school registrations, dental appointments, vaccinations, along with things like grocery shopping and filling of prescriptions. At the meeting, they discussed how the group had been organizing everything from accounting and banking to acquiring official documentation, all things which take considerable hours outside of the monthly committee meetings.

ease of access to programs, a friendly and inviting environment, no intimidation, getting seniors out in the community and giving them a great deal to look forward to. It’s a win-win for the city, seniors, disadvantaged youth and the community at large. Let’s get this initiative started and bring a new spark into the life of seniors. For more information and on how a successful program works please visit London’s Huff’n’Puff site at www. huffnpuffsfa.com. I would love to see seniors stepping out and embracing this venture.

Notice of Proposed Official Plan Amendments Kanata North Community Design Plan In accordance with Section 22(6.4)(a) of the Planning Act and Section 11.(1) of Ontario Regulation 543/06, notice is hereby provided that an official plan amendment proposal is being considered by the Planning and Growth Management Department at the City of Ottawa. The proposed Official Plan Amendment (OPA) affect properties located in Ward 5, West Carleton-March. The planning area for the OPA is the Kanata North Community Design Plan (CDP) limits, extending along both sides of March Road from the existing urban area of Kanata. It is generally bounded by Old Carp Road, Murphy Court, Nadia Lane and the rail corridor and excludes the existing subdivisions. Three concurrent and integrated Class Environmental Assessment Studies/Master Plans were initiated: Transportation Master Plan (TMP) to provide the road network; Master Servicing Study (MSS) for water, storm drainage and sanitary; and an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for the natural environment and select stormwater management components. These reports have been prepared in conjunction with the Community Design Plan (CDP). The CDP is being brought forward for approval by Planning Committee and Council at the same time as the proposed OPA. Approval of the CDP and subsequent development applications under the Planning Act will be supported by the TMP, MSS and EMP. The purpose of the OPA is to provide policies that implement the land use components of the Kanata North CDP. The main effects of the proposed OPA are to: (1) change the land use designation in Schedule B from Developing Community (Expansion Area) to General Urban Area; (2) designate the tributaries of Shirley’s Brook and significant woodlot as Urban Natural Features; (3) update various schedules to reflect the expansion of transportation facilities within the CDP area; (4) update various natural heritage system features; (5) refine the required mix of housing; and (6) implement policy with respect to a cost sharing agreement. To review additional information and materials related to the proposed amendments, please contact the undersigned planner, go to Ottawa.ca/devapps and input the File Number D01-01-16-0007 in the “Search” criteria. The City of Ottawa would like to receive comments regarding the proposed amendments. Please forward comments to the undersigned planner via mail, facsimile or email by May 11, 2016. Comments received will be considered in the evaluation of the proposal. If you wish to be notified of the adoption of the proposed Official Plan amendment, or of the refusal of a request to amend the official plan, you must make a written request to the City of Ottawa. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting (meeting date, time and location to be determined) or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the before the proposed official plan amendment is adopted and the proposed by-law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Council of the City of Ottawa to the Ontario Municipal Board. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting (meeting date, time and location to be determined) or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the proposed official plan amendment is adopted and before the proposed by-law is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are reasonable grounds to do so. Dated at Ottawa this 14th day of April, 2016.

Next step for Uber licensing is approval of council Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

After dozens of delegations and nearly as many motions, the city’s community and protective services committee voted in favour of licensing the ride-sharing app Uber on April 8. In addition to allowing organizations such as Uber to operate under a new class of car-for-hire called private transportation companies, the bylaw change will reduce the fee for taxi licenses and allow for fare flexibility when a rider books a traditional taxi through an electronic app. The decision came as a result of a review of the industry by consultant KPMG and a slate of 70 recommendations that came in a 116page document. A notable change by the committee to the series of recommendations was the start of the new bylaw. The motion was presented by Osgoode Coun. George Darouze. The change would

push back the implementation of the new set of rules to Sept. 30 from June 30 to give the industry more time to adapt to the new rules. The first day of deliberations saw nearly 100 people from all walks of life – Uber drivers, taxi drivers, representatives from the tourism industry and accessibility advocates. On the second day, committee chair Diane Deans said the city wouldn’t compromise on the issues of safety or accessibility. Deans added that she didn’t want to see councillors using regulatory tools to bar Uber from entering the market place. “You can’t say that you want PTCs and then it’s death by a thousand cuts,” she said. A few motions, aimed at dealing with a number of requests made by taxi companies, fell flat. The most notable of which was to require private transportation companies to have their drivers install cameras

in their vehicles. Police Insp. John Maxwell spoke to the committee about the value of cameras in taxi cabs. He said they are invaluable as a crime deterrent and have helped solve cases. College Coun. Rick Chiarelli championed the motion. “If we don’t do it now,” he said of making cameras mandatory in cars operated by services such as Uber, “we will end up doing it later and wondering why we didn’t do it now.” City deputy manager Susan Jones said the cost of a camera in a cab was $1,185 when the requirement was rolled out in 2008. Some councillors felt that the price was undue burden on Uber drivers, many of whom work less than 10 hours per week, according to Uber public policy manager Chris Schafer. Deans said the nature of apps such as Uber, which provide the driver photo and license plate to the rider and

Public policy manager for Uber Canada, Chris Schafer, takes some tough questions from the community and protective services committee on April 7. the fact that each transaction is done electronically, makes cameras unnecessary. After the motion failed angry taxi drivers filed out of council chambers. One yelled “you’re biased.” West Carleton Coun. Eli El-Chantiry put forward an unsuccessful motion to force PTC drivers to undergo mandatory driver training. Deans said the market

should determine which training is important. The committee did manage to add one set of checks and balances, thanks to a motion by Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli. The motion requires any PTC in operation to hand over each driver’s license and proof of insurance to the chief license inspector two weeks prior to the enacting of the bylaw and every three

months after. Egli said that he has some issues with the business practices of Uber. He said that the “non-answers” he received from company rep Schafer the day before didn’t allay his concerns and he thinks the information would be a usual enforcement tool. Council was to vote on the committee’s recommendations on April 13.

Curtain rises on St. Francis Xavier High’s most ambitious play yet Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A boat filled with sailors, Prince Eric and his manservant confidant Grimsby glides onto the stage. Unbeknownst to them a graceful mermaid can be seen among the undulating waves, her red hair a fiery beacon. Soon, singing fills the cafetorium as teachers look on from the darkened room, some playing music to accompany the vocals, while others man computers and sound equipment, while still more follow along with their scripts. On stage, the young actors make it look easy as they take turns on stage, demonstrating their musical talents, delivering comedic lines and bringing an underwater kingdom to life, just days away from putting on St. Francis Xavier Catholic High School’s most ambitious play to date. “This is my first musical I have ever directed, and I

Best friends and Grade 12 students Danica Maiorino, left, who will play the role of Ursula the evil octopus, and Chelsea Kisil, who will perform as Ariel, a young rebellious mermaid, will soon share the stage along with 32 other student actors in Disney’s ‘The Little Mermaid,’ a St. Francis Xavier Catholic High School production. The curtain goes up for public performances on April 16, 20, 21 and 22. didn’t realize how intense of a musical it was,” said director Tamara Capyk, who is the Riverside South school’s drama teacher. But the cast has risen to

the challenge of learning each of the 28 songs in the script, just as the school’s band has become adept at learning the music. They will be accompanied on their

instruments by adult musicians from the local community. “We went from zero to 100,” Capyk said with a laugh before a recent re-

hearsal. She’s also directing her largest group of students; there are 32 Grade 9 to 12 students in the cast, and 12 in the running crew, whose job it is to move the sets around during scene changes, among other duties. As Capyk speaks, her young team begins gathering in the back-stage drama room, which is bursting with a rainbow of costumes waiting to be worn. The students’ enthusiasm for their work is palpable, as is Capyk’s admiration for their efforts. “I think our costumes and our hair and makeup are really cool in bringing a cartoon to life,” she said, adding her production class has done a great job of figuring out how to transform the story into a vibrant theatrical performance. The audience can also expect to hear some serious talent from the show’s soloists, such as Chelsea Kisil, who will perform as Ariel, the rebellious teenage mermaid, and Danica Maiorino,

who will take the stage as Ursula, a villainous octopus who schemes to rob the young mermaid of her beautiful voice. This will mark the first time Chelsea will perform a lead role in a musical, though the 17-year-old Grade 12 student is no stranger to the stage, having performed in many productions through the Catholic Education Foundation of Ottawa. “I’m extremely excited,” said the Riverside South resident. “The stage is what I live for.” For the past six months she and her peers have lived and breathed the story. “I wake up singing the songs. They’re always in my head all the time, and I feel like I know my lines inside and out, backwards and forwards,” Chelsea said, adding it has been empowering to take on such a daunting challenge and push their limits to accomplish such a major feat.

‘I’ve grown so much as a performer,’ student says Continued from page 13

“I feel like I’ve grown so much as a performer, and so it’s really exciting to see that we’ve been able to pull all this off, and we’re youth and we’ve managed to do this together,” said Chelsea. Back when the play was first chosen and the rights to produce the musical purchased, the group learned it had acquired the Broadway version rather than the junior version. “The main difference is that instead of talking and singing being separate elements of the play, there’s a lot of talking over songs or music,” said Danica, who is also in Grade 12. “And the thing is we sound ...,” she said, her voice training off. “Great,” Chelsea piped up enthusiastically. “We do sound great,” Danica agreed, but added only the lead actors were experienced singers back when rehearsals began in November. For some, The Little Mermaid has required some on-the-job training. While singing comes naturally to Danica, this will be the first time she will perform in a

stage production. “I earned this role because of my singing capabilities and I’ve worked really hard to catch up to everyone in their acting skills,” the 18-year-old Blossom Park resident said. Now, they’re chomping at the bit for the curtain to go up, allowing them to place all of their hard work directly in the spotlight during four upcoming performances. “I’m just excited to show everyone what we did,” Danica said with a smile.

Perfect lifestyle for all types of people

KANATA AND STITTSVILLE

Ottawa’s west end still a fast growing community Jen Traplin Known for its bountiful green spacaes, booming high-tech industry, popular attractions like the Canadian Tire Centre (home of the Ottawa Senators) and the Diefenbunker, as well as a wide array of residential communities, the City of Ottawa’s west end offers the perfect lifestyle for just about anyone. The area has enjoyed steady growth for decades, particularly in Kanata, one of Ottawa’s largest suburbs, and Stittsville, which lies just west of Kanata and roughly 30 minutes from the downtown core. 15 years ago, before Kanata became part of the amalgamated City of Ottawa, it was one of

the fastest growing communities in Canada, a trend that continues to this day. More than 80,000 Ottawa residents now call Kanata home and the area is constantly expanding, not just in terms of residential development but business as well. Kanata North houses many of the major hitech employers in Ottawa, including Cisco Systems, Inc., Blackberry and Mitel, and rumours continue to swirl about Apple setting up shop in the same business park, the largest research and tech park in the country. Just a few kilometres west is Stittsville, which started as a sleepy farming community in the 1800s and has since transformed into a bustling suburb, while still managing to hang onto its village charm. Recently, the City of Ottawa released a Community Design Plan for Stittsville, which aims to preserve the heritage status of the area while also transforming it into a modern and more walkable community.

Big city living with village charm WESTERN SUBURB

The past ten years has seen big changes for Stittsville Jen Traplin One of the Ottawa region’s best kept secrets is the small, western suburb of Stittsville, which offers all of the luxuries of big city living while still holding onto its historic village charm. In the past decade, the population of Stittsville has exploded as the area has undergone a massive transformation. “There are a lot of new businesses coming in and there are a ton of new people. We’re over 30,000 people in Stittsville,” says Glen Gower, vice president of the Stittsville Village Association. “It’s really changed in the last five years.” During that time, there has been a steady stream of new residential builds and several big box stores — like Michaels, Winners and Lowe’s — have moved into new retail locations along the now widened Hazeldean Road. “On one hand, you’re getting these really big businesses and chain stores and, at the same time, we’re getting a lot of really interesting, locally owned small businesses as well,” Gower says. “I’m thinking of places like Covered Bridge

Brewing, a craft brewer on Iber Road, or Quitters Coffee, owned by Kathleen Edwards, and a lot of other small businesses like the food trucks coming in.” Of course, at the heart of Stittsville’s draw is

its village charm. Many of the buildings along Stittsville Main Street are designated heritage status. While some have been preserved, others have been neglected, creating a bit of a turning point, in terms of Stittsville’s identity.

“I think Stittsville is still figuring out what kind of community it really is. Is it a little bit outside of Ottawa -- that idea that it’s a bit beyond the fringe? Or is it a modern suburb? I don’t know,” admits Gower.

Blue, Green or Black Bin? Recycling in Ottawa Determining what kitchen and household items go in the City of Ottawa’s segregated recycling programs can be a challenge. When in doubt, here are some key guidelines for ‘sorting out what you sort out’ to encourage recycling and reduce garbage waste in our city. The black box is for paper such as newspaper, magazines, flyers, and books, and for cardboard such as cereal boxes, egg cartons and toilet paper rolls. The blue box is primarily for drink containers such as bottles, jars, metal cans, plastic food containers, milk cartons, and juice boxes. The green bin is for organic waste such as food scraps, grass clippings, plants, barbecue ashes, paper towels, and kitty litter.

CHEO Telethon campaign launch unveils student’s winning design Megan DeLaire

mdelaire@metroland.com

With the launch of the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario’s annual telethon campaign at Sir Robert Borden High School on April 12, high school student Andrea McMullin’s artwork went public in a big way. That’s because McMullin, 16, produced the winning design that will be featured on all of the telethon’s materials, including the CHEO Foundation’s telethon clothing line. “This logo is going to be seen all over the city,” Mayor Jim Watson said at the event. “And it’s going to remind people to go to the CHEO telethon … and to be generous.” The telethon will take place on June 4 and 5, and will be broadcast on CTV. Each year, CHEO invites students in high schools across Ottawa to submit their designs, and the Nepean school is already well acquainted with the campaign, having produced another winning design as recently as 2014. McMullin’s design was put on display for students, teachers, telethon host Graham Richardson, Merivale-Knoxdale Coun. Keith Egli, Ottawa Carleton District School Board trustee Donna Blackburn and Watson, during the official campaign launch at the school. Working with the telethon’s Be a SuperHERO for CHEO theme, her entry gives the CHEO Bear a retrostyle superhero makeover complete with a blue unitard, a red cape and a heroic stance. “It’s crazy, it’s surreal. I wasn’t aware that it was such a big deal going into it,” McMullin said. “Then I ended up winning and there’s so much stuff going on. The fact that I’ll be driving down the street and probably see the logo that I designed is crazy.” For McMullin, contributing to the hospital’s fundraising telethon is an opportunity to give back to an institution that helped her as a child. “When I was younger I went to CHEO a few times,” she said. “I was a little clumsy, and I got injured here and there.” In fact, McMullin spent three nights there when she was nine years old after she broke and dislocated her arm while playing with her brother and a friend. The injury required surgery. “I do know it’s a great hospital,” she said. “Everyone was super

friendly, and it’s very effective.” For its role in the campaign, the school received a $1,000 award while McMullin took home an Apple iPad. The annual telethon is one of the CHEO Foundation’s biggest fundraising events each spring, raising millions of dollars for the hospital over two days. In 2015, the telethon generated a record-breaking $7.9 million in donations, which helped the hospital purchase a new hightech portable X-ray machine. “We have one of the best children’s hospitals not in Ontario, but in all of Canada,” Watson said. “And we are able to keep that hospital going not just because the government puts money into it … but because the community really rallies behind it.” CHEO Telethon clothing and other merchandise bearing McMullin’s logo is now available for purMEGAN DELAIRE/METROLAND chase at www.cheofoundation.com.

DAVE SMITH YOUTH TREATMENT CENTRE I am very pleased to share that, as part of the 2016 Budget, Ontario is providing $1.5 million to the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre right here in Ottawa to support the construction of a new 30-bed youth residential treatment facility. The centre will increase access to important substance abuse services for youth in our community. We are lucky to have strong community partners, like the Dave Smith Centre, in Ottawa. The team at the Centre is incredibly dedicated to providing quality care in a safe environment, and I look forward to seeing how the expanded facility will make a difference in the lives of youth coping with addiction across our city. This project is part of the government’s $51.8 billion commitment to give Ontarians faster access to the right care, now and in the future. Other highlights of the 2016–17 Budget include: •

Investing more than $345 million in all publicly funded hospitals, including a one per cent increase to global base funding.

•

As part of the 10-year Mental Health and Addictions Strategy, investing an additional $4 million for 248 new supportive housing units.

•

Keeping Ontarians healthy by using $5 million of increased revenues from new tobacco tax to support investments to enhance priority populations’ access to smoking cessation services.

•

Providing $12 billion over 10 years to continue building modern hospital infrastructure, including $50 million in new annual funding to help hospitals keep their facilities in good repair.

Go behind the firewall with museums’ new digital heritage portal Full rollout of Open Heritage platform expected by this fall Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

It’s not enough anymore to just open the doors of artifact-rich museums to visitors. There is also a veritable treasure trove of behindthe-scenes research and plans being developed by Canada Science and Technology Museums Corporation staff that has been digitally protected – until now. “We are the first publicservice institution in Canada, to my knowledge, to undertake a program to systematically remove our firewalls,” said Alex Benay, president and chief executive of the corporation, which manages its nowunder-construction Canada Science and Technology Museum, the Canada Aviation and Space Museum and the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum. The Crown corporation has begun providing digital access to historical assessments and marketing and exhibition plans through its newly launched Open Heritage digital portal – the first time a national Canadian museum will publish thousands of documents in an online platform that can be accessed by anyone, anytime and anywhere. The cost of the Open Heritage portal pilot project is estimated at under $100,000.

SCREEN GRAB/OPEN HERITAGE

The recent launch of a groundbreaking new Open Heritage online digital portal is making it possible for researchers and curators at the Canada Science and Technology Museums Corporation to begin publishing their work online, which can be accessed and shared by the public for free. The initative, announced by Benay on April 1 during the Canadian Open Dialogue Forum at the Shaw Centre, will be open by default by this fall to anyone with a thirst for more knowledge, from historians and researchers to teachers and experts, as well as anyone with computer access. Want to know about the history of blacksmithing, metallurgy, printing or computing? Have a hankering to learn more about the corporation’s policies? This will be available at your fingertips. And if you peruse a museum document that’s missing some vital insight, you can

help fill in those gaps. “We took a risk. We’re taking a risk,” said Benay, but added it’s well worth the benefits given the public engagement it is expected to create as well as a digital legacy that will benefit generations to come. Given the digital world we live in, “how archaic … is it to keep public heritage, public culture information behind the firewall, even if it’s in draft format?” Benay said. Keeping data locked away behind a network security system makes even less sense at a time when online participation, crowd-sourcing and

data analytics have taken off, he said. There’s also no reason why heritage information should be only available to the public through accessto-information requests. As well, museum staff are also not the final authority on science culture in Canada, said Benay. “Maybe someone has a different opinion,” he said. “Maybe putting our draft thoughts out in the world means that 10 universities or five avid or amateur historians or history buffs around the country can correct us right out of the gate.” Following his announce-

ment, a select group of museum staff began entering their documents right into an enterprise repository, allowing their work to go public. Already the portal has received some hits by researchers and universities, said Benay. However, not everything will be made available, such as personal and human resources information, some budget numbers and planning and request-for-proposal documents. “If I was to give you a percentage, I would say 90 to 95 per cent of our content should be publicly available from the get-go (this fall),” said Benay, noting that one or two per cent is currently public. But now that the online platform is up and running, that percentage will change. The corporation and its museums first joined the open data movement in October 2014 when it began providing access to its collections data through data. techno-science.ca. “We want to practise a form of fully participatory heritage,” Benay said. Gone are the days when museums only communicated to the public through exhibits and books. “What if you knew everything that we had? What if you help us shape what goes on the (museum) floor? What if you helped us shape our next publication? What if you help us shape our next acquisition?” he said. Case in point was the Canada Aviation and Space Museum’s acquisition of the

CC-130 Hercules E Legacy military transport airplane on April 5. People shared their personal connections to the aircraft on the museum’s Facebook page. “Without engaging online, we would never know this stuff,” Benay said. Some have argued the portal will open the corporation to idea theft, but the CEO said if someone takes the time to sift through the documents and beat the corporation to the punch, “it’s not shame on them, it’s shame on us.” “It means they were more organized and better willing to execute than we were,” he said. The portal will also allow the museums corporation to go global. “Where is the Canadian culture in the context of a global culture, and what do we have to offer?” said Benay. “This is going to be the beginning of that for us.” The public can access the Open Heritage digital platform by going online to documents.techno-science. ca. BEHIND THE SCENES

This bid for more openness and sharing is just the latest such initiative for the corporation. It is now live-broadcasting all staff meetings, and the corporation is also producing a Youtube all-access documentary, which will go live within the next few weeks, featuring the reconstruction of the science and technology museum.

Lt.-Col. Phil Marcus and Maj. Keith Hoey hang out with the last CC-130 Hercules E Legacy before it’s donated to the Canada Aviation and Space Museum. Marcus and Hoey piloted the aircraft for the last time, delivering it to the museum on April 5.

Legacy touches down at aviation museum Canada’s last Hercules E Legacy aircraft takes its final flight Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

After more than 50 years in service the Tiger 307 has touched down for the last time. Acquired by the Canadian military in 1965, the Lockheed CC-130E Hercules — known to its crew as Tiger 307 — took off on April 5 from 424 Transport and Rescue Squadron, Trenton for its final destination, heading to the Canada Aviation and Space Museum’s neighbouring airport, the Rockcliffe Airport. The aircraft landed at 11:30 a.m., where a number of its current and former flight crew stepped off, to say goodbye. The Department of National Defence donated the plane to the museum, to become part of the facilty’s permanent exhibition. According to the museum, the donation commemorates the significant role of the aircraft – a true workforce of the Royal Canadian Air

Force. With more than 50,000 hours of flight time, the aircraft was used as a transport plane, a navigation training airplane and a search and rescue plane. The Hercules 307 was the third of its kind acquired by the military between 1964 and 1968. Lt.-Gen. Michael Hood, commander of the Royal Canadian Air Force, said although it was a sad day for many who have sat in the cockpit or on the Hercules, he was happy to know that it has found its final home with the museum. “This is something we should celebrate,” Hood said. Hood said his first flight with the aircraft was in 1988. “It was a great privilege to be able to fly it,” he said. Pilots Lt.-Col. Phil Marcus and Maj. Keith Hoey had the task of flying the aircraft on its last mission. Together the pair has more than 6,000 hours in the air with the 307, which they said

was easy as pie to fly. “It’s so steady,” Hoey explained. Marcus agreed, crediting its long wingspan. Both spent their time in the aircraft mostly within Canada and looking back on their time in the air, both agreed Alert, Nunavut, was their favourite mission. “Imagine the middle of nowhere, and then go past it,” Hoey said. “It’s just amazing, it’s quite a sight to see.” Canada Science and Technology Museum Corporation president Alex Benay was a passenger for its final flight. “The Canada Aviation and Space Museum prides itself in charting not only Canada’s rich aviation heritage, but also the important milestones in the history and technology of flight.” Benay said. Beney added it was a honour to accept guardianship of the aircraft for future generations to see and learn from. There is no defined date for when the Hercules will be on display, but the museum said it aims to have the aircraft a part of its summer programming.

Dial in: Riverside South blogger launches new podcast series Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

There’s a metal musician living with depression and anxiety, a new mom diagnosed with a tumour the size of a baseball, another who embraced a healthy lifestyle after a medical wake-up call and still another who works with bomb squad suits. Their stories were just waiting to be told. Little did Kevin McGowan realize just how many people were willing to share their life experiences when he posted a message on the Riverside South community’s Facebook page, asking if anyone had any stories they would share about themselves for his new podcast series. “Within a day, probably 20 people emailed me,” the Riverside South resident said of the response. Some were willing to share the health challenges they had overcome, while others volunteered to delve into their unique and interesting

careers and extracurricular activities. Already, six of them have been featured on McGowan’s new weekly Internet radio show, or podcast, called the Shortlife. “I just figured life is short,” he said of the name of his series. “It’s an opportunity to enjoy what you’ve got and also tell other people what you’re doing while you’re here.” BEHIND THE MICROPHONE

By day, the father of two creates training content at Kanata-based Kinaxis, which develops supply chain management software for large corporations. But McGowan, who has been told before he has a radio voice, was looking to return to the online radio waves once again, though with a focus on a subject matter different from his past podcasting and blogging days. It was about eight years ago that the music fan

It made an impact – listeners were known to write in about their personal connections to the musicians profiled. Some of those same hidden musical gems remain in regular rotation on McGowan’s record player to this day. Then there was a podcast called the Ruckus on Rabble. ca. It lasted longer, about three years. “That was a lot of work, but it was a lot of fun,” McGowan said. “We got almost a million downloads over the course of a couple years. “It had a good mix of really underground stuff nobody necessarily knew about,” he said of the appeal. “So it was exposing those little pockets from across Canada.” It also featured conversational interviews with the

likes of British-born Canadian rock singer-songwriter Carole Pope and Canadian rock musician Joel Plaskett, interspersed with tracks from different musical artists. “I kind of modelled it on CBC Radio or something like that, but a bargain basement, zero budget kind of situation,” McGowan said with a laugh. “It was fun.” McGowan, 42, can hold a beat on a drum, but he is more a fan than a musician and was raised on punk rock. During his teen years and into his 20s, he was a big fan of the punk rock music of British bands GBH and The Exploited, as well as the Nirvanas, Pearl Jams, Mudhoneys and the Screaming Trees of the American rock and alternative rock scene. McGowan has had several other online projects over the years, including writing about music for therevue.ca. He has since stepped away from that. “I found writing about music all the time kind of took away the enjoyment of listening to it,” he said. There was a time he envisioned a future career in ra-

dio, and he did go on to produce an hour-long documentary for CBC Radio about four years ago featuring Montreal singer-songwriter Elyse Weinberg. He’s considered doing something similar, but the freelance budget has since dwindled, he said. PROFILES

He mulled over the idea of crafting a documentary about Riverside South, but then narrowed his focus to profiling local people, which has translated into 15-minute-long telephone interview podcasts at shortlifesite. wordpress.com. McGowan may one day consider expanding his range beyond his home base if his project catches on. For now, he said there is no shortage of Riverside South content – stories he hopes will provide his listeners with a meaningful window into someone else’s “never-would-have-guessedthat” life experiences. “Everybody’s got something,” he said. “It’s just most people try to keep it kind of quiet.”

Residents, community leaders rally against violence East Ottawa’s Jasmine Crescent has seen more than its share of violent crime in past year Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland

East end residents showed up at Lester B. Pearson high school on April 10 to send a message that Ottawa supports Jasmine Crescent and is sick and tired of violence in their community. The street has had a troubled time, with three murders in less than a year. Residents and community leaders took part in a walk along Jasmine Crescent, from Lester B. Pearson to Gloucester High School, to rally against violence in their community. The walk was organized by Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney, who invited representatives from nearby service organizations, sports clubs, and schools and the community at large to walk holding large yellow signs in support of Jasmine Crescent moving forward as a united and safe community. “We’ve had great discussions about how we can feel safe in our own communities, how we can connect as communities, and how we

can make us feel like this is our home,” Tierney said. Mayor Jim Watson attended the walk, and spoke to the crowd prior to the start. “The whole community is coming together to say that we’re not going to tolerate a bunch of criminals coming in to our neighbourhood and shooting and stabbing and killing people,” Watson said. “Its not acceptable.” Family and teammates of murder victim Connor Stevenson, who was stabbed in one of the apartment buildings on Jasmine Cres. in April 2015, attended the walk as well. Stevenson was a player with the North Gloucester Giants, which had about 30 players, dressed in jerseys with Stevenson’s initials and numbers, taking part in the event. “We lost one of our players at the beginning of all this,” said North Gloucester Giants president Geoff Woodhouse. “So it comes close to our heart.” He said it was important to have youth take part in

the walk and discussions, because they’ve got the best grip on what’s going on in the community. Jake Mongeon, 14, of the Giants lives nearby and said he’s often on Jasmine Crescent or walks through the area with friends and teammates. “It’s a little bit scary, actually,” he said. “You want to feel safe in your community, so I think it’s important to support the community and raise awareness for the ongoing violence.” The walk was one of the first steps to creating a safer community. Ideas to improve community safety have included creating a community association on Jasmine Crescent, and starting up a Neighbourhood Watch. It’s important to implement programs before incidents happen, and not just react after a crime, said Hawa Mohamed. She represents the Somali Mothers association. Youth need to have after school programs, such as homework clubs, or more access to part time jobs, in or-

And, there needs to be a strong message sent to criminals – too many are getting away with murder, she said. “If we catch the killers, they will consider their ac-

tions. Right now, they kill and they get away with it,” she said. “So we have to do better than we’re doing now.” Community Police officer Const. Brad Burleau said it’s encouraging to see how many people came out from all over the east end to sup-

port the community, and he hopes it’s the start of a better relationship between police and residents. “The communities around this area are all coming together to send a message that there’s no community left behind,” he said.

A memorial service marking the 99th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge was held at Claudette Cain Park in Riverside South on April 9, not far from Vimy Memorial Bridge. The event saw several politicians lay wreaths of remembrance. Local army and sea cadets also took part in the ceremony, which was organized by the Barrhaven and Manotick branches of the Royal Canadian Legion.

Legion members, politicians, and local youth gathered on April 9 to mark the 99th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge at Vimy Memorial Bridge in Riverside South. Members of the Barrhaven and Manotick branches of the Royal Canadian Legion organized the second annual event, which also included local army cadets and the Falkland Sea Cadet band. Legion members and local politicians gathered at Claudette Cain Park to remember the battle as well

as those who lost their lives almost a century ago. The Battle of Vimy Ridge lasted for three days; 3,598 Canadians died. Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre, Nepean MP Chandra Arya, Mayor Jim Watson, Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish and Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder all delivered remarks before laying wreaths. “We must not forget the brave souls who gave their lives,” Arya said. “We owe them our everlasting gratitude.” Watson said it’s important that Canadians continue to honour war heroes and those who died in battle. His

father and grandfather both fought for Canada. Thinking of the sacrifices made by families 99 years ago makes some of the complaints that come into her office seem quite small, said Harder, such as a dog barking or a fence painted a colour a neighbour doesn’t like. “I wonder today, I wonder how many people would want to allow their children to go fight, like many of our great-grandparents did?” she BRIER DODGE/METROLAND said.

Hand-me-down box came with a colourful surprise

he spring hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie was waiting for us at the station in Renfrew. The stationmaster had called; a man of few words, and all he said was, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s here.â&#x20AC;? We knew exactly what he was talking about. It would mean a trip into Renfrew with the flat-bottomed wagon. The wooden box, which had one time held bulk tea and was lined with a heavy silver kind of paper, was much too big for the buggy. So the team was hitched to the wagon, and Father made the 12 and a half-mile trip into Renfrew. It was almost suppertime by the time we saw Father come in the lane. With the three brothers helping, the big box was heaved into the kitchen, where it would sit until our evening meal was over, the kitchen redded up, and our hands washed. I could never understand why we all had to wash our hands before we could touch an old and badly marked-up box that came all the way from Regina on the

MARY COOK Memories CPR train. Very seldom was there anything in the box besides boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothes and well-worn menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suits and shirts from Uncle Jack. It was like my sister Audrey and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even exist, as far as Aunt Lizzie was concerned. Sometimes, there was a piece of material for Mother, or a pair of high-heeled shoes, which fit no one in our family. That night, sitting around the box, as Everett pried off the lid with the crowbar, in my mindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eye, I thought we looked just like my Sunday school class at the Lutheran Church at Northcote ... all in a circle around Miss Kallies. And it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any more exciting either! Why Audrey and I even bothered to sit and wait for the

box to be unpacked was beyond me! Well, were we in for a surprise! Sitting on the very top of the pile of clothes was a big red leghorn hat. (I had no idea why they were called leghorn hats, since I thought a leghorn was a hen running around in the barnyard!) But there it was, one of Aunt Lizzieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hats. She loved red, and Audrey said thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why it was Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s least favourite colour. The crown of the hat was mashed down as flat as a pancake by the lid of the box, but the brim was in perfect condition. I thought the hat would be perfect for the days my little friend Velma and I dressed up in our motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothes to play house. Well, Mother had a different idea. It was like someone had just handed her a $100 bill! She went right to the mirror at the back door, wearing the hat. My sister let out a snicker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mother, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wear that with the crown all smashed down.â&#x20AC;? A flat crown was not going to stop Mother from wearing the hat,

and she went right to the wood box where a stack of Renfrew Mercury papers were at the ready, and scrunched up several and crammed them into the hat. Right before our eyes we could see the hat transformed into something that would only be seen on the head of one of Renfrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s richest women. I knew the hat would be going to the Lutheran Church on Sunday! And it did. And it certainly caught the attention of the other ladies. Many complimented Mother, which pleased me no end. We took our pew and Father had to move over from Mother, because the wide brim of the hat caught him square in the face when she turned her head. So I sat beside her, taking many a look at Aunt Lizzieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hat that had found new life out there in Renfrew county. Half way through the sermon, I glanced at the hat, and poking out, just above Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ear, was a good sized piece of the Renfrew Mercury advertising silk bloomers at .20 cents a pair. I was torn. Should I try to stuff

the piece back into the hat, tell Mother what was happening, or let nature take its course? I decided to poke the paper back into the hat, which caused Mother to glare down at me as if I had committed some deadly sin. I whispered to her, as quietly as I could what was happening, which caused the minister to glare down at me, but I could tell Mother was grateful. Heaven forbid that the entire Lutheran Church know that her beautiful leghorn hat was stuffed with the Renfrew Mercury! She never wore the hat again, but Velma and I were thrilled to prance around the house in it, pretending we were one of those rich women from Renfrew, who bought eggs and butter from our Mothers every Saturday.

Star Wars to take centre stage at pop-culture fan convention Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The star power at this year’s Ottawa Comiccon continues to build with names such as Sean Astin, Billy Dee Williams, Karen Gillan, Carl Weathers, John Rhys-Davies, among a bevy of others. “What if we’re done? Is this enough?” Cliff Caporale, the comic convention’s program director, said in jest about the big-name announcements that have been released every few weeks since midJanuary. Turns out, the team is far from done and more announcements will be on the way over the next month before the three-day celebration of everything comics, pop culture, science fiction and fantasy take over the EY Centre May 13 to 15. Star Wars elements will be front and centre at the event, partly why Williams was asked to make a return visit after first appearing at the convention during its second

installation. “People keep asking for Star Wars,” said Caporale. “People have asked for (Williams) specifically. But people are just hungry for everything Star Wars. “Having that little movie come out in December ... what’s it called again? You know that small one there that almost nobody saw ...,” joked Caporale, who saw Star Wars: The Force Awakens twice in theatres, enjoyed the “cinematic accomplishment” and wished he’d seen it even more due to its storytelling prowess. Caporale and his team, who also put on Ottawa’s Pop Expo and Montreal Comiccon, long had their eye on celebrating the Star Wars universe at Ottawa Comiccon given the anticipation that built up ahead of the movie’s release. “Phantom Menace was not a great film. Neither was Attack of the Clones, but still people ate them up. People wanted them,” he said. “With this one, it’s such a fantastic

achievement that people are even more hungry for everything Star Wars.” Organizers also got more than they bargained for when they announced Welsh actor John RhysDavies will be coming to Ottawa’s comic convention for the first time. “The response we got for him was above and beyond what we were expecting,” Caporale said of the star whose body of work includes Lord of the Rings and two Indiana Jones films. “We thought people would be happy – Sean Astin happy, but this surpassed almost anybody (we scheduled this year),” he said. “Obviously, Lord of the Rings is bigger than I realized.” FIREFLY WORKS

And Ottawa Comiccon just wouldn’t be the same without at least one actor from Firefly making a visit. See STAR ROSTER, page 40

Billy Dee Williams, best known for playing Lando Calrissian in the Star Wars film universe, will be returning to Ottawa Comiccon at the EY Centre in May.

Pet Adoptions

LUPIN (ID# A111527)

Meet Lupin (ID# A111527), a beautiful zebra finch looking to fly into his new home. Finches like Lupin make great pets for beginner bird owners. They are fun to watch and will serenade you with their soft, soothing song! Lupin enjoys the company of other finches and would love to be adopted with one of his buddies from the shelter. Lupin would like to have room to fly and exercise to keep in tip-top shape. He doesn’t like to play with toys like other species of birds, but he loves to investigate new items and is always on the lookout for fun things to do. For more information on Lupin and all the adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd Check out our website at www.ottawahumane. ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

These two puppies, Lola and Spice (L-R), are full of energy which they burn off when they have their play dates twice a week at Canine Water Wellness in Orleans. Swimming is a great exercise for dogs of all ages, not just puppies.

Serving our Bilingual Community We at the OHS are dedicated to promoting animal welfare and building a compassionate community, but in order to do this we must be able to reach our whole community. While the sick, injured, and homeless animals we care for speak neither of Canada’s official languages, we recognize that a great many of the human residents of the Ottawa area are francophone. We know that we must extend our reach to include French speakers in order to further

our mission to build a brighter, more humane community. Our goal is to provide important community services, be it reuniting lost pets with their owners, finding forever homes for homeless animals, or educating the public about animal welfare, in both official languages. To this end, we are currently in the process of translating OHS documents and materials, with a focus on those most frequently used by the public.

Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly! To learn more about adopting an animal from the Ottawa Humane Society please contact us:

Website: www.ottawahumane.ca Email: Adoptions@ottawahumane.ca Telephone: (613) 725-3166 x258

Additionally, we are very proud to offer all of our Humane Education school presentations in both French and English. Since the beginning of this school year alone, we have provided French presentations to over 2,300 children and counting. Bilingualism is such an important part of our community and culture here in Ottawa and we are proud to be embracing it organization-wide.

Star roster taking shape for 2016 Ottawa Comiccon Continued from page 39

When American actor Alan Tudyk’s name was released, fans were excited to see the man who played Hoban “Wash” Washburne on the space western. “It’s Firefly and we know Firefly works really well in Ottawa,” Caporale said of the single-season Firefly TV series and Serenity movie, which both also starred Canadian actor Nathan Fillion of TV’s Castle fame. “So every year our goal is to invite at least one person from Firefly so people can finish their collections of autographs and all these other things.” It’s likely the upcoming appearance by a Firefly actor will translate into more fans dressing up in Fireflyrelated costumes. “They want to fit in (with) the theme and also they want to get in pictures with those characters (while) in character them-

selves,” the director said. “You do see that quite a bit. “And we also see the vendors start getting the supplies they need for that,” he added, referring to the long list of merchandise vendors who will make up a big part of the convention, in addition to comic book artists.

Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyageur. It was initially hoped that more Star Trek actors would be available to beam into Ottawa, but a large convention held the same weekend in Germany has made that difficult, said Caporale.

NOD TO STAR TREK

CHANGE OF DATE

There will also be a nod to the Star Trek universe, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, with a visit by American actor René Auberjonois, who played chief of security Odo in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, and in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, among a long list of other film and TV roles. Joining him will be American actor and comedian John de Lancie, who played the character Q in Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep

New this year, Ottawa Comiccon will be held on a different weekend than in previous years. It’s been moved by a week, from May 13 to 15, so as not to fall on the annual Free Comic Book Day, which is the first Saturday in May. “It’s probably the most important day for comic book stores, business-wise,” Caporale said.

An Ottawa high school teacher has been charged with sexual assault, sexual exploitation and making sexually explicit material available to a child. Jessica Beraldin, 30, was charged on March 31 after police investigated allegations that she was involved in a sexual relationship with a student while teaching at Mother Teresa High School. The charges have not been proven in a court of law. Police spokesman Const. Chuck Benoit said that evidence found in the investigation has police concerned there might be other victims. “In mid-March we received a complaint and we began investigating then,” Benoit said. “The evi-

dence was showing enough proof to lay charges on Miss Beraldin, and from that, investigators had concerns that there might be other victims.” Beraldin appeared in court on April 1. That day, the Ottawa Catholic School Board announced she had been suspended. “I truly regret that such conduct has allegedly occurred at one of our schools,” said Denise Andre, the board’s director of education, in a statement. “The number one priority for our board is the continued safety and well-being of each student. We will continue to co-operate with the police in their investigation of this matter.” Anyone with information, is asked to contact Ottawa police at 613-236-1222, ext. 5944.

Still no deal for locked out slots workers as talks break down Kelly Kent

kkent@metroland.com

Negotiations have again broken down between the Ontario Lottery and Gaming (OLG) Corporation and workers from the Rideau Carleton Raceway Slots, continuing a lockout that has been in affect since December. On March 30, the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) met again with OLG to continue negotiations over the workers’ collective agreement. PSAC is looking to secure wage increases for the slots employees, who have been without a raise since 2009, and protect their existing pension language. However, negotiations were again brought to a halt when both parties refused to budge. “Basically they (OLG) were unwilling to continue negotiating,” said Alroy Fonseca, a communications officers with PSAC. Fonseca said there was a lot of pressure on OLG to come back to the bargaining table after a rally at Queen’s Park in March brought more focus onto the fight of the workers. The March 30 meeting started well, he said, but soon turned ugly when representatives from OLG walked out of negotiations.

“It was definitely an abrupt departure,” he said. A spokesperson with OLG, Rui Brum, said the union is making it difficult to have a serious discussion about the collective agreement. “Unfortunately PSAC was unwilling to talk seriously and that’s why negotiations broke down,” he said. “They’re not willing to make any movement in negotiations.” According to Brum, OLG and PSAC had the help of a conciliator from the Ministry of Labour for their most recent meeting, but even that couldn’t help the groups come to an agreement. Negotiations have been ongoing for the current agreement for a year and a half, and PSAC says they’re not giving up any time soon. “We’re going to continue to fight for the rights of the workers,” Fonseca said. PSAC will continue their campaign of political pressure, working with area politicians to call attention to their battle with OLG. OLG, in response, said they are willing to go back to the bargaining table to discuss the collective agreement. “We are open to it and have always been open to it,” Brum said. “We continue to be open to serve our patrons.”

Russell Road house fire displaces mom, three teens Unattended cooking to blame for four recent fires: fire official Erin McCracken

erin.mccraken@metroland.com

Unattended cooking that sparked a fire has displaced a family of four from their Russell Road home. A number of 911 callers reported seeing smoke at a rowhouse unit, prompting fire crews to respond to 1761 Russell Rd., across the street from the Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre, on April 7 around 2 p.m. Flames had spread to the kitchen cupboards from the stove, said Capt. Danielle Cardinal, Ottawa fire department spokeswoman. It’s the latest in what appears to be a string of fires caused by pots and pans left unattended on stoves. A day after the fire, firefighters were also called to an oven fire just before 8 a.m. at a highrise apartment building at 2861 Baycrest Dr. in Herongate.

No injuries were reported and the fire was quickly put out. Also recently, cooking-related fires were reported at another Baycrest Drive residence on April 4. That same day, fire crews responded to a cooking fire at a home on Coupal Street in the Kingsview Park neighbourhood of Vanier. “It seems like a trend, but it’s actually something that is always at the forefront,” Cardinal said. Cooking is the leading cause of fires in Ontario and one of the top five causes of fire in Ottawa, she explained. In the case of the Russell Road fire, firefighters could tell by the smell what they were walking into, Cardinal added. There were no injuries and the mom who was home at the time was able to escape the premises. However, she and her three

teenage children, who were not home when the fire broke out, will need to find alternate accommodations, Cardinal said. “(Firefighters have) had to pull down a lot of items in the kitchen, such as cupboards (and) open up the walls,” she explained. “So if a person doesn’t have a kitchen, in this particular case they can’t stay.” A skeleton crew of firefighters was still at the scene a few minutes after 3 p.m. waiting for the Salvation Army and the Red Cross to attend and help the family, Cardinal said. A fire investigator was dispatched, but the estimated dollar loss in damages was not yet known. The recent spate of incidents serve as a reminder to be extra cautious when cooking. “It can just seem very easy to leave the room and then you forget and it can become something that is so quick and so dangerous,” Cardinal said.

Manotick Miler wants to keep on growing as an event Kelly Kent

kkent@metroland.com

Ready, set, race! Back for its sixth year on Sunday, May 1, the Manotick Miler is now open for registration. Race organizer Laura Glasper of inStride Event Management hopes this year’s event will be bigger and better than ever. “We hope it keeps growing and getting more popular,” she said. “Our goal is to someday have 10,000 participants.” Right now the Manotick Miler sees about 1,500 participants each year, drawing large crowds to the village’s core. Considering it started with around 275 runners, Glasper said the event has come a long way. The Manotick Miler features four race events: 10 miles, five miles, three miles and a one-mile family run or walk. The 10-mile race is certified by Run Canada, and Glasper said it is a perfect flat training route for Ottawa’s race weekend which takes place four weeks later. The biggest draw of the day, however, is the post-race tailgate after party hosted by Big Rig. “We want the event, including the tailgate, to become another festival for Manotick,” Glasper said. “Everyone is en-

couraged to come out.” Runners and non-runners alike are invited to attend the tailgate party, which has been provided by Big Rig for the past three years. Big Rig supplies a trailer of kegs for the party and serves sodas for kids. The event also features kids’ games, balloon art, food and live music. “Plan on sticking around after the race,” Glasper said, adding that the tailgate party is hard to resist. Races kick off on May 1 at 9 a.m. with the tailgate bash starting at noon. All events are hosted at the Manotick Arena and Community Centre at 5572 Dr. Leach Drive. FUNDRAISING

Every year, the Manotick Miler event raises money for the Ottawa Heart Institute. Last year, more than $5,000 was raised and donated to the organization, brining the race’s grand total to around $30,000 so far. This year’s goal, Glasper said, is simple: to surpass last year’s fundraising total. “The goal is always more,” she said. Information on registering for the Manotick Miler, sponsoring runners or making a donation can be found on the event’s website at www.manotickmiler.com.

LEAVEYOURLASTING MARKFORCHEO’S CHILDREN&FAMILIES KATHLEEN BELIEVED IN THE GREAT LOVE OF NEW-BORN CHILDREN AND THE IMPORTANCE OF EARLY CARE TO THEIR LIVES. FOR THAT REASON HER SON ESTABLISHED THE KATHLEEN ELIZABETH AND E. NEVILLE WARD ENDOWMENT FUND FOR NURSING EDUCATION IN HER MEMORY.

For more than 40 years our community has benefited from the care and medical expertise at CHEO. While some of us have thankfully never had to use CHEO, others have for minor or sometimes more serious issues. The one commonality we all share is a great respect and appreciation for CHEO. We want it to be here for our kids, our kids’ kids and beyond that. That is what Forever CHEO is all about!

By making a planned gift to CHEO you not only help future generations of children, but you also provide some tax relief to your estate, while still providing for your family members. Here are some ways you can create your Forever CHEO legacy: make a bequest in your Will; create an endowment fund; name CHEO as the beneficiary of your RRSPs or RRIFs; or take out a life insurance policy with CHEO as the beneficiary.

CONSIDER CREATING A TRULY LASTING LEGACY AND HELP TO ENSURE THAT CHEO IS FOREVER PART OF OUR COMMUNITY.

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

Ottawa model discovered at the Rideau Centre

Laura Winges went from selling clothes to modelling them on the runways of South Korea, Paris and New York Melissa Murray

mmurray@metroland.com

Laura Winges can’t wait for Bridal Week in New York City. The 21-year-old, originally from Nepean, looks forward to walking the catwalk in flowing gowns of white. “It’s always a lot of wedding dresses, but I can’t wait,” Winges said. Bridal Week is a far cry from what she was doing a short year and a half ago. Then, she was working at the Brandy Melville clothing store at the Rideau Centre after leaving a post-secondary program and figuring out what steps to take next in her life. She had just reached her goal to be part of the Ontario ringette team and was posting fashion photos to her Instagram account, which was gaining in popularity. At five feet 11 inches, Winges never wore heels and

was often told by her customers that she should model because she was so tall. It was a comment she usually laughed off — until a photographer handed her his card. Everything snowballed from there. Within a month she was working in South Korea and since then she’s worked with a number of agents walking the catwalks of London, Paris, Tokyo and Milan. In her first season, she did 16 shows. “I had like no experience at all. I needed a lot of help,” Winges said of those first few months. “It actually worked out really well because I was at a point where I didn’t know what I wanted,” Winges said. “Now I like my job a lot and I still can’t believe this is what I’m doing now.” As a rookie, she took in everything she could, learning from other models and asking a lot of questions.

“It was a lot to take in at first, and I’m still learning to walk in heels,” she said. Winges has modelled brands she never imagined, including Dior and Armani. She’s even been in a show at fashion designer Pierre Cardin’s Bubble Palace in the south of France. “I love architecture and had learned about that house, so it was really neat,” she said. Her favourite show, so far, has been walking for Dior. “It’s such a high-end show and every detail matters,” she said. Before being discovered, Winges hadn’t travelled much at all. In the course of the season, she became a world traveller. “All of a sudden I’m going to huge cities. I’m so lucky and grateful. It has really changed me,” Winges said. With all of the travelling, she’s also made friends around the world, with New

York being her home away from home. While she had brushed off comments about her being a model previously, she said those who do want to follow in her footsteps should know it’s a tough industry. “My agent warned me about the industry; it’s intense and you will get rejected.” But that shouldn’t be a deterrent, she said. “Don’t be shy, and send your pictures out,” she said. “Keep trying, you never know what you might miss out on.” For now, Winges is riding the wave and seeing where things in the industry take her. “Hopefully I’ll book a big campaign to bring my career to the next level,” she said. At the time Winges was

she took the time to skate on the canal this winter. “I don’t have any regrets, but I do miss it.”
