Riverside connection gets cool response Bell times at Ottawa schools may change in September 2015. – Page 5

Tyler Follett tyler.follett@metroland.com

News - A plan to build a $50million-plus bypass connecting the Ottawa Hospital campus Transitway stop to Riverside Drive received a cool response from some community members at an open house on March 26.

Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume hosted the meeting at Vincent Massey Public School, where he and representatives of Delcan, the company contracted to build the road, answered questions about the project.

The two-lane road with transit lanes is aimed at reducing traffic congestion in the area.

The cost of the project continues to be a concern, as does the green space it will use.

The Riverview Park Community Association has been against the project from the beginning, said Karen Keyes-Endemann, the association’s president.

It has worked together with the Old Ottawa East and Overbrook community associations to address the potential impacts of the new road, such as increased noise levels and environmental concerns.

The cost of the road is also an issue, particularly because of the short length of the road.

“If the projected cost is $64 million, and most roadway construction is underestimated from 20 to 40 per cent, we’re looking at a $100-million

dollar project to build a 1.2 kilometres road,” said Dr. Lynn Megeney, an employee at the Ottawa Hospital since 1997.

DISRUPTION

“There are existing renovations and adaptations that can be made to the existing roadways, without disrupting anything,” said Megeney.

“It’d be the most expensive highway in Canada, per kilometre,” he said.

Environmental concerns were raised at the open house, as the new road will occupy green space used by residents. The issue of water runoff from the road (and construction) was brought up as well.

Developers say they were `blindsided` that changes to zoning rules for converted dwellings will mean backyards must now be provided for smaller apartment buildings.

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Ottawa is one step closer to getting rid of special exemptions for homes converted into multi-unit dwellings, but the city will have do more consultation with developers before council has the final say.

Representatives of some major Ottawa builders who came to planning committee on March 25 said there were caught off guard by changes to a policy on converted dwellings that go beyond the scope of large homes being turned into apartments. The new rules add a requirement for backyards for small apartments.

The major change is that the city is getting rid of the term “converted dwelling,” which lent special zoning exemptions to projects that helped meet the city’s intensification goals by re-using homes to house more people. The conversions led to a great deal of conflict in downtown neighbourhoods, particularly in Sandy Hill, where there is pressure for rental housing for students.

Now, those conversion projects will have to follow the same rules for a brand-new building.

“It removes what could have been seen as a loophole previously,” said Lee Ann Snedden, the city’s manager of policy development and urban design.

Tim Moerman, the city planner who led the study, said the change follows on the footsteps of similar decisions made in Toronto to “level the playing field.”

“Eventually we found that was the best approach – to remove special treatment,” Moerman said.

But another change that accompanied the new policy would introduce an obligation for builders to provide backyard amenity space for low-rise apartments with three or more units.

In the past, developers didn’t have to provide amenity space for apartments of fewer than five units.

Jim Bray of Claridge Homes said he was “blindsided” by that part of the report.

It also frustrated Murray Chown, a lawyer who said none of his developer clients are in

the business of residential conversions, so they didn’t pay attention to the study.

“There is a huge element of the industry that didn’t see this coming,” he said. “We are introducing performance standards that will compromise projects that are in the works … without any consultation, discussion or warning.”

The broader implications of the changes also didn’t dawn on some councillors, including Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais, who was angry because he said he didn’t receive a notice that the bylaw change could affect his ward.

“I thought this was to deal with student housing issues,” he said.

The city’s zoning and intensification manager, Alain Miguelez, defended the new rules requiring backyards for small apartments. He said compatibility with backyards was one thing that led the issue to come to a head last year when city council took the rare step of putting a freeze on conversions.

“There are rules today. Those rules were producing things that made people unhappy,” Miguelez said. “We’re not stopping conversions ... We will allow conversions to go ahead once they have achieved the pieces that are needed so they fit in well.

“When you’re building a low-rise apartment on a side street, you might want to have that level of integration with what’s around you. It’s as simple as that,” Miguelez said.

After much discussion about the consultation and the process of circulating information to councillors and industry stakeholders, the planning committee agreed to delay the date the new rules would be deliberated by city council. That vote won’t happen until April 23 to give more time for city staff to gather comments from developers and councillors who didn’t participate in the process.

Milan Stolarik, who lives in City View near Algonquin College, said the conversion changes are great, but they won’t help solve the issue of illegal conversions of single-family homes in low-density zones. He said homes in his area, which has R1 and R2 zoning for single homes, are being converted into apartments to house students.

proudly presents Fertile Future’s Capital Evening of Hope

Schools may change daily bell times Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - The Ottawa Student Transportation Authority is proposing to make bell time changes for all Ottawa-area schools starting in September 2015.

The moves would affect both the public and Catholic school boards and would involve changes to walking zones for certain schools. As a result, the authority will launch a number of public consultations across the city to present the changes to parents and to hear concerns starting on April 2.

According to the general manger for the authority,

Vicky Kyriaco, the changes are aimed at making the organization more efficient.

The authority was established in 2007 in response to the Ministry of Education’s reform on transportation, which called on school boards across the province to develop partnerships and combine transportation departments.

According to the authority’s bylaws, Kyriaco said, it can make bell time changes at schools of up to 10 minutes before needing to seek approval with the respective board. Since these changes are greater than 10 minutes, the authority will seek a decision from both school boards in December 2014.

Ottawa South News EMC - Thursday, April 3, 2014

These cost-savings, Kyriaco said, are based on what the authority believes is the most efficient system for buses and could change depending on feedback received at the consultations.

According to the public school board, as many as 38,000 to 40,000 students require daily transportation to and from school.

The walking distance is currently 800 metres for kindergarten children and 1.6 kilometres for grades 1 to 8.

Grades 9 through 12 must walk if a student lives within 3.2 km of their school.

Parents are encouraged to view the maps, and depending on the routes, point out concerns but there is little flexibility for changes to be made. The consultations, which begin in April, will present specific plans to specific neighbourhood

school zones. “The most important message is that it is not written in stone, we do want to hear from the school communities,� Kyriaco said.

The changes follow a study of existing routes conducted by an outside firm that evaluated and highlighted potential safety hazards.

The most important message is that it is not written in stone ...

VICKY KYRIACO

“There would be little which would surprise us there,� Kyriaco said.

The comments, she said, would still be welcome, because depend-

ing on the concern, any highlighted hazards could possibly be mitigated, adding the authority would work with the city to make certain street intersections more pedestrianfriendly.

Currently the proposed bell time changes and new walk zones are available to view at ottawaschoolbus.ca. An online survey is also available on the website for parents to fill out.

The consultations begin at Brookfield High School on April 2. The meeting starts at 7 p.m.

A full list of where and when the other 27 consultations will take place is available at ottawaschoolbus.ca/policies/transformation/ meetings. Kyriaco said regardless of a particular meeting date, parents can attend any meeting in the city to send in comments.

The authority will also post the presentation information online.

Kids with a disability can get in the game Funding available until November Sports - The Canadian Paralympic Committee and Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities have announced the second year of their commitment to the Parasport Jumpstart Fund, an initiative which helps kids with disabilities from financially disadvantaged families participate in organized sports and recreational programs.

Investment in the 2014 Parasport Jumpstart Fund will increase from $100,000 to $150,000 to help even more kids living with disabilities get in the game.

The Parasport Jumpstart Fund will assist with the costs associated with registration, equipment and/or transportation for children between the ages of four and 18, who come from financially disadvantaged families and are living with a disability.

The fund will enable children to participate in approved parasport programs.

“Last year we gave over 290 Canadian kids living with disabilities in nine different provinces the opportunity to develop the confidence, social skills and discipline that comes from organized sport and we look forward to helping even more children in 2014,� said Johnny Misley, president of Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities.

The Parasport Jumpstart Fund also supports the creation of a new program or the expansion of an existing successful initiative. Last year, more than $77,500 was invested in approved parasport programs in communities across Canada.

In addition, Canadian sport and community groups are invited to apply for the 2014 Parasport Jumpstart Fund. “The Parasport Jumpstart Fund is a great initiative that will help more Canadian children with a disability

get involved in organized and recreational sports,â€? said François Robert, executive director of partnerships for the Canadian Paralympic Committee. “Jumpstart’s investment in grassroots sports programming is exactly what is needed to help grow parasport opportunities across the country.â€?

Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities

... we look forward to helping even more children in 2014 JOHNNY MISLEY

will be accepting 2014 applications to the Parasport Jumpstart Fund until Nov. 28. Funds will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

Avoiding the red tape

A

mong the things a city should try to avoid is discouraging business growth.

Businesses pay taxes and businesses employ residents, who in turn pay taxes. Along with development fees, taxes are the primary way cities collect money to pay for roads, arenas, transit and the like, so actively discouraging the growth of business in a city is like the shooting of one’s own foot.

Last week, a couple of issues that have the potential to affect how business is done in Ottawa came before city council, and in both cases prudent decisions were made. Members of city council voted to reduce the fee paid by restaurant and bar owners to establish sidewalk patios and decided to wait and have further study conducted on the way digital signs are used at businesses across the city.

The patio decision, while only affecting the 2014 season, will see the fee paid by businesses wishing to establish a patio that encroaches on city sidewalks reduced by 10 per cent to $1.23 per square metre. In light of what business owners pay in other cities for the same privilege – only as much as $0.57 per square metre in Toronto, for example – it appears reasonable that this could

be done to see how business owners react. The city intends to study the results ahead of the 2015 season and judge the effect.

The decision to look further at digital signs, which are displayed inside an exterior window for advertising purposes, is also prudent. The city currently has little in the way of data on how widespread these relatively inexpensive devices are or how they might affect those living nearby, making further study a reasonable course of action.

These two issues are good examples of how the city can make life difficult for business, or not, as the case now. In good weather, patios draw restaurant goers to these vital small businesses. Making it easier for owners to leverage the draw of patios keeps them in business, keeps tax dollars flowing to the city and keeps workers employed.

While it’s debatable how effective indoor digital signs are for businesses that choose to use them, they’re marginally distracting and spending too much time and effort figuring out how to referee them smacks of wasteful over-management on the part of the city.

If digital signs need oversight, why not posters?

Why not mannequins? It could easily become a slippery slope ending in a pit of red tape.

Mayoral race needs a little bit of spark

T

he reconstituted Frank magazine has produced a re-election poster for Jim Watson. Under the headline “Watsonmania,� the satirical rag shows a photograph of a sleepy looking mayor saying: “Let me finish the job ... I still see a couple of people awake in the back!�

That would be a common criticism: a boring mayor for a boring city. There is an upside as well, expressed in a number of different ways by a number of different people, but all meaning essentially the same thing: “At least he isn’t Rob Ford.�

This is because in politics, boring means no scandals, no gaffes, no feuds with council members, no blowups with the media, no controversy, no embarrassment to the city.

Jim Watson has that going for him and it’s no small accomplishment, actually. Many are the politicians who thought they were being cautious and responsible and wound up with a reputation for anything but. Something can always trip you up – a careless word you thought was off-the-record, a rogue staffer, an expense account that wasn’t properly scrutinized, a relative who wasn’t properly scrutinized, an unguarded moment in range of somebody’s iPhone camera.

It is not easy to be boring, in other words.

O awa South News !URIGA $RIVE 3UITE /TTAWA /. + % "

613-723-5970 Published weekly by:

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town Boring can also mean competent, not prone to exaggerations and pratfalls, and Watson fits in there, too. “Ottawa needs stable leadership for the challenges that remain,� he said in announcing his re-election bid. “Stable leadership� is hardly clarion call, but he knows what he is doing.

It is an interesting comment on our times that Watson is considered likely to be reelected simply for not being trouble-prone, just for not being Rob Ford. Little is expected of politicians these days.

This is not to disparage the mayor’s abilities or his record, only to say that imagination and vision, which used to count for a lot, count for much less. We seem to want capable managers who won’t cost us a lot of extra tax dollars, who won’t get us into trouble.

Ottawa South News EMC - Thursday, April 3, 2014

Big things are not going to get done under that kind of leadership and many of us seem quite content with that. Because big things sometimes lead to big trouble -- as witness, say, Montreal’s Olympic venture in the 1970s.

It would be interesting to see a challenge to Watson by a politician with big things on his or her mind. Great cities become great by taking risks, by thinking big. To take one example, Ottawa could have a great waterfront, like many North American cities, if someone thought big and didn’t hide behind the NCC. To take a less thrilling example, Ottawa will need huge expenditures on infrastructure to keep our roads and bridges and water systems from outliving their usefulness. Someone has to push that.

We know from experience that it is politically expedient to postpone such expenditures. We know from experience – think of Montreal again – that postponement can lead to tragedy.

So it would be good to hear a big idea from Jim Watson, or from one of his competitors, if only to have a more interesting discussion than we usually have around election time.

Watson takes some of the credit for Lansdowne Park redevelopment and light rail, which some might call big ideas. But

Lansdowne Park is looking less and less innovative and light rail is just half of a big idea; it doesn’t come close to meeting the city’s urgent transit needs.

Creating a proper transit system would be a big idea that would really help make Ottawa a great city. But it would cost money and probably necessitate making rules that make life more complicated and/or expensive for drivers. Other cities have taken on that challenge, but it is politically risky to be sure.

There must be dozens of big ideas out there than would make this a better city. It would be nice to hear some of them.

slice of bread, for example, is considered to be a portion of grains within the food guide, and to represent 65 calories.

Most commercial loaves these days contain nearly double that, says Freedhoff, about 120 calories per slice. He also notes that sugary cereals count as a grain serving, which is wrong on a number of levels.

And even as countries like Brazil are feted for novel new national guidelines around healthy eating that encourage consumption of fresh and local produce, Canada is stuck in the past, suggests Freedhoff.

ing all this is overblown. Why attack the food guide?

The reality, however, is that we have a growing obesity and overweight problem in the Western world, including Canada. We also have increasingly “busy” lives, which makes slow-cooking, growing our own food and even label reading cumbersome. The food guide is all we’ve got as a high-level, broad-reaching document to guide us in our eating habits. If Freedhoff is right and it’s contributing to overweight and obesity, rather than hindering it, it may be time for a revamp.

The contributing factors to overweight and obesity are obviously complex. My personal theory is that the urban, indoor lifestyle and sedentary work many of us do are among the biggest contributing factors. But we are also a society that, frankly, eats too much – particularly compared to our physical output – and we are eating too much of the wrong things.

Surely, our national food guide should take that into account and, at minimum, give us a more optimum prescription for eating right.

R0012578670

A

debate at the University of Ottawa in recent months has put into question the validity of Canada’s Food Guide.

Designed to promote healthy eating with prescriptive doses from the various food groups, the colourful rainbow is meant to help us make the right choices when it comes to food.

“Does Canada’s Food Guide promote weight gain?” That was the name of the debate and the question put forward

by Dr. Yoni Freedhoff, director of the Bariatric Medical Institute. His opponent was Dr. Hasan Hutchinson, directorgeneral of the Office of Nutrition Policy and Promotion at Health Canada.

Freedhoff, an avid blogger and pundit on the overweight and obesity issues, makes a number of valid arguments against the food guide. He argues that if people eat the portions recommended in the guide, for example, they will gain weight.

One of the main problems with the current food guide, argues Freedhoff, is that it’s based on portions, but nobody knows what a portion size looks like anymore. Over time, our plates have become bigger and our notion of portion size has become skewed as a result.

The increased trend of eating in restaurants makes this problem more pronounced.

Did you know, for example, that a portion size of meat should be about the size of a deck of cards? A portion of whole grains should be about the size of your fist. Yet how many of us are consuming multiple burgers at a barbecue or chowing down on full plates of spaghetti?

Breastfeeding: Supporting Moms, Supporting Babies The Ottawa Breastfeeding Buddies program pairs new mothers with volunteers who have breastfed their children for six months or longer.

The program boasts 58 volunteer buddies who speak 17 languages and were paired up with close to 120 moms in 2013.

From modest beginnings of ďŹ ve volunteers in 2005, to 58 today is due in large part to a simple premise: mothers want to give back.

For more information about breastfeeding visit ottawa.ca/breastfeeding.

To connect with a public health nurse call 613-580-6744 (TTY: 613-580-9656) or email healthsante@ottawa.ca To learn more about what public health does for you, take a look at our 2013 Annual Report on ottawa.ca

Many mothers appreciate the technical breastfeeding information as well as the emotional support they receive from speaking with someone who has been through the same experience.

Are you interested in becoming a breastfeeding buddy volunteer or do you want to be partnered with a Breastfeeding Buddy? Contact OttBreastfeedingBuddies@ottawa.ca or call 613-580-6744 extension 23932.

The World Health Organization, the Canadian Paediatric Society and Health Canada recommend exclusive breastfeeding up to six months of age, with continued breastfeeding for up to two years and beyond.

Old Ottawa South will host its annual spring cleanup on May 10. Leading up to the event, the community is holding a colouring contest to garner support and interest for the big day.

Community - Before residents start picking up garbage this spring in Old Ottawa South, one group would like the neighbourhood children to pick up their crayons.

A community colouring contest is being organized by the neighbourhood’s spring cleanup group, the same one that each year for the past 17 years has organized the event. This year, organizer Georgina Hunter wants to help inspire Old Ottawa South children and teens to get involved.

“This is an activity that I think is worth making time for,” Hunter said. “I think it teaches really valuable lessons and hopefully it will encourage their kids to participate in the cleanup and raise the awareness on the street.”

The contest offers two age categories for young artists in the neighbourhood: ages six to 12 and ages 13 to 18.

The rules are simple: just take a letter-sized sheet of white paper and draw a part of Old Ottawa South in the spring, showing people picking up garbage.

Spring event to expand to the streets Continued from page 14

The deadline to submit a drawing to Hunter at gginahunter@gmail.com is April 7.

Two winners will be selected from each of the age categories and the drawings will be used to advertise the May 10 spring cleanup event.

EXPANDING

Typically, the cleanup would focus on Windsor and Brighton parks, but this year

it will go beyond the parks, adding street cleaning to the plans.

Bank Street between the bridges, Sunnyside Avenue and Bronson Place will all be getting the attention of the cleanup crews.

The meet-up remains at Windsor Park, where Timbits, coffee and supplies will be handed out.

Hunter will be recruiting high school students to volunteer, as well as university students to lead clean up groups.

“What I have found with the many businesses along Bank Street and shops with takeout - people are eating and walking and

leaving behind the fast food containers,” Hunter said. “I would like to see many small teams, around four to six people attacking the block, so it’s not onerous.”

Hunter added the most important thing about promoting clean streets and attending the event is to enjoy themselves, meet new people and maybe even change the way they deal with garbage while walking, or hanging out in the park for the future.

“I am really hoping that parents will take this moment and make it a teachable moment and I hope everyone who participates in the contest come out on the day.”

In Support of NROCRC’s Youth Programming

Saturday, April 26, 2014 6:00 pm Centurion Conference and Event Centre 170 Colonnade Road

Diane Deans Councillor/Conseillère Quartier Gloucester-Southgate Ward

Adopt-a-Park, Roadway or Gateway Adopt-a-Park, Roadway or Gateway is a city-wide program that encourages community involvement in the care and maintenance of our parks and roadways. This program between volunteers and the City is open to community groups and individuals of all ages who want to take an active role in enhancing the quality of life in our community.

Under this program volunteers take on park or roadway cleanup projects to improve safety, the environment and to keep the City clean of garbage and graffiti. By taking the initiative to remove debris and litter from the City streets and parks our communities ultimately become a safer place and our environment is protected. The City asks volunteers to make a minimum two year commitment and volunteers are required to plan cleanup projects twice a year - once in the spring and once in the fall. To acknowledge these important efforts, each park, roadway or gateway is furnished with a sign presenting the names of the adopting individual or group. The sign is displayed for the adopting period.

Residents, schools, community groups, and businesses have participated in hundreds of cleanup projects since the program’s inauguration day. For more information on how you or your organization can get involved please call 3-1-1 or email adopt@ottawa.ca.

News - The Ottawa police is informing the public on a recent scam where a caller states that he or she is from the Canada Revenue Agency. To this date, the targeted victims are of East Indian descent.

The caller is very aggressive and advises the victim that they owe unpaid taxes. The caller threatens arrest, jail time, and seizure of bank accounts if the victim does not immediately address the problem.

The victim is told to visit retailers and purchase pre-loaded gift cards and provide the cardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s information to the caller.

Despite the 613 area code displayed on the phone call display, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suspected that these calls are not originating from within Canada.

Harper Government Making Life More Affordable for Canadian Families Ottawa, ON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Recently, Statistics Canada published their Survey of Financial Security, conďŹ rming that Canadian families are better off today under our Conservative Government than under the previous Liberal Government.

Since 2005, Canadian families have seen their net worth grow 44.5%. In fact, from 2005 until 2012, the largest increase in net worth occurred for families in the middle income bracket.

These numbers reďŹ&#x201A;ect the outcome of our governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s low tax plan which puts more money where it belongs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in the pockets of Canadians and their families.

We know that raising a family can be expensive However, our governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focus on controlled spending, low taxes and balancing the budget by 2015 is making life more affordable for Canadian families. Because of initiatives like the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fitness and Arts tax credits, the Universal Child Care BeneďŹ t and lowering the GST from 7% to 5%, the average family is now able to save almost $3,400 per year.

Proof that this Conservative government supports Canadian families is in the numbers: â&#x20AC;˘ We have cut taxes over 160 times â&#x20AC;˘ The number of Canadians living below the Low Income Cut-off is at its lowest level ever. â&#x20AC;˘ One million Canadians have been removed from the tax rolls, including 380,000 seniors. â&#x20AC;˘ 1.4 million Canadians are no longer living in poverty, including 250,000 children.

Student residence plan rejected Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - City council shocked Sandy Hill residents by rejecting a locally-maligned private student residence.

Even the local councillor, Mathieu Fleury, had no inkling that Mayor Jim Watson and 12 other members of council would come out against the nine-storey devel-

â&#x20AC;˘ After-tax disposable income has risen by 10% across all income levels since 2006. â&#x20AC;˘ We have increased the amount families in the two lowest personal income tax brackets can earn before paying taxes.

All of this conďŹ rms that this Government is making life more affordable for Canadian families Our government is also taking additional steps to support Canadian families by addressing the price gap between goods sold in Canada versus the United States. Statistics Canada estimates that, in 2011, Canadians were paying about 25% more than consumers south of the border for identical products. This price difference can signiďŹ cantly affect the cost of living for Canadian families, which is why we will ensure that discriminatory, country-based pricing will be prohibited.

Finally, this Conservative government is helping families by embarking on the most ambitious trade agenda in Canadian history. Since coming to ofďŹ ce, we have negotiated numerous free trade agreements, including an agreement with the European Union which will create approximately 80,000 jobs.

More recently, Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced the Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement, which will also create thousands of new jobs and open up new markets for Canadian business. The elimination of tariffs from these nations means lower costs for Canadian families at the stores.

The Leader of the Liberal Party is not on the right track for Canadian families. He would massively increase the size of the federal government by ballooning national debt or increasing taxes on Canadian families. On the other hand, our Conservative low tax plan is making life more affordable for Canadian families while moving towards a balanced budget.

Rollins said residents expect a development application is a done deal once it gets the stamp of approval from city staff and the planning committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You like to think what you do have made a difference, that the councillors listened to our points and saw they were valid,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Watson said he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in favour of the proposal, which would have contained 180 one- and two-bedroom units, because he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it would be compatible with the streetscape or building heights in the area.

Despite requiring both amendments to the zoning and the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Official Plan, it proposal would have â&#x20AC;&#x153;fit within the overall fabricâ&#x20AC;? of the area, said John Smit, manager of urban development review.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a point Fleury is trying to impress on his council colleagues for months, but he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect that point to be taken up so forcefully by the mayor and other councillors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of them had made up their mind before, but obviously because of the debate at council, (they) realized the broader impacts, which we were flagging for the past months,â&#x20AC;? Fleury said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would be wise to send a message that this is an important heritage community that is under a lot of stress,â&#x20AC;? Watson said.

Sending that message will cost the city in legal fees.

The proponent, Viner Assets, can now appeal the decision to the Ontario Municipal Board. But because city planners and the planning committee endorsed the development, the city will have to hire multiple independent experts to argue against the proposal if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appealed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inevitably, when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re giving evidence before a (an Ontario Municipal board) hearing, you have your own staff giving evidence against your political position,â&#x20AC;?

Hume said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will have to hire ... people to give professional evidence before the board, because we will have our people giving opposite evidence.â&#x20AC;?

City throws out Sandy Hill plan Kathryn Hendrick, a spokeswoman for Robert Viner and Viner Assets, declined to say whether the company would appeal the decision.

“We respect the political process and we are reviewing all of our options,” she wrote in an email.

During the debate on March 26, some councillors, including Capital Coun. David Chernushenko, expressed concern about the de facto “expansion” of the University of Ottawa campus into the neighbouring residential community.

“We should be assisting where the growth of campuses where necessary, but being clear about where the lines are,” Chernushenko said.

“My concern is this has gone a number of blocks deeper into the neighbourhood.”

Somerset Coun. Diane Holmes spoke out vocally against the proposal, saying it isn’t the city’s responsibility to provide housing for students and throw away a neighbourhood’s “heritage ambiance” in the process.

TRANSIT SYSTEM

“Why aren’t we dispersing those students?

We have a fabulous transit system,” she said.

River Coun. Maria McRae worried the provision to require 24/7 on-site supervision of the residence wouldn’t be enforceable.

The councillors who voted 14-9 against the proposal included: Rick Chiarelli, Eli El-Chantiry, Chernushenko, Mark Taylor, Marianne Wilkinson, Fleury, Shad Qadri, Peter Clark, Keith Egli, Diane Deans, Holmes, Doug Thompson, McRae and Watson.

Councillors who voted in favour included: Rainer Bloess, Stephen Blais, Steve Desroches, Bob Monette, Jan Harder, Katherine Hobbs, Tim Tierney, Allan Hubley and Hume. Scott Moffatt was absent.

Hume said the proposal was appropriate because Sandy Hill is a dense neighbourhood and it’s an area that is appropriate for intensification because it’s close to rapid transit and the downtown core.

“We expect this kind of development and this kind of density in these places,” he said.

SECONDARY PLAN SNAFU

Many councillors, including Fleury, were under the impression they had also voted to fasttrack funding to update the secondary plan and community design plan for Sandy Hill. Later in the day it was revealed that didn’t happen, since the funding was technically tied to approving the Viner proposal.

Fleury said he was happy with the main result – the rejection of the student residence – but disappointed the secondary plan update wasn’t approved, but he emphasized the plan is still next in line to be update when funding becomes available.

The councillor added that after speaking to his council colleagues, he doesn’t think he would have had enough support for his motion to fasttrack funding for the secondary plan review because there was a perception that rejecting the Viner proposal already represents an investment in Sandy Hill due to the cost of the OMB appeal.

Association calls for all home child City lowers patio fees for 2014 care to be licensed in Ontario No large increase in the number News - In response to recent tragedies in unlicensed home child care settings, the Home Child Care Association of Ontario is calling on the provincial government to require all child care providers in Ontario to meet current minimum licensing standards.

Although the causes of these tragedies have not been released, the association further calls for a commitment from the provincial government to increase the number of licensed child care spaces available to meet the needs of families across the province.

The association of Ontario is aware that the vast majority of children in Ontario are in unregulated, unlicensed child care. Bill 143 represents a very important step forward to increasing the basic safety standards for these children.

The association represents more than 70 licensed home child care agencies, providing licensed, home-based early learning and child care to more than 60,000 children in over 3,000 homes across Ontario. Under existing legislation, licensed home child care agencies and the individuals they contract with to provide

of sidewalk patios expected

home-based child care programs must follow all of the regulations contained within the province’s Day Nurseries Act. These provisions cover such areas as health and safety, program quality, nutrition, and police reference checks.

In Ontario, many individuals care for children in their home without being affiliated with a licensed home child care agency. These individuals provide unlicensed care and are not required to meet legislative standards, with the exception of the provision dealing with the number of children in their care.

News - The snow shows no signs of melting, but the city is already looking forward to patio season.

Recognizing the socio-economic benefits of sidewalk restaurant patios, the city’s planning committee approved a reduction in the fees charged for patios on March 25.

For the 2014 season only, the patio encroachment fee will be $1.23 per square metre per day – a 10 per cent reduction. That temporary decrease will give city staff time to conduct a broader review of sidewalk patio policies and fees.

Ottawa’s current patio fees of $1.37 per square metre per day are higher than other cities. Patio fees in Toronto range between $0.14 to $0.57 per square metre per day.

According to a staff report, demand for sidewalk patios in downtown Ottawa is “inelastic” and therefore the demand for new patios isn’t

likely to increase if the fees are reduced. Since there were more new patios than expected last year – partially due to a pilot project to add patios on Elgin Street – reducing the patio fees for one year won’t change the $570,000 budget for the program, the report states.

The broader review of the sidewalk encroachment bylaw will be reported to planning committee in time for the 2015 patio season.

In recent years, the city has expanded patio opportunities in other ways. Fees were cut in half for Preston Street for two years at the request of the local merchants association in hopes of spurring more restaurants to add more patios to the dining hotbed of Little Italy, however, only one new patio was established during that time.

Six Elgin Street establishments were given approval to try out patios on a narrower sidewalk for two years. That pilot project is ongoing for another summer.

In 2011, city council reduced the distance patios need to be separated from residential areas. While the old rules required at least 30 metres from homes, the new rules would allow patios to be installed with no minimum separation distance from residences if there are no objections from neighbours.

The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning committee decided to put off studying the effect of lit signs inside the windows of businesses until the next term of council. bureaucracy that no one in the city wants.â&#x20AC;?

Alex Lewis, executive director of the Bells Corners Business Improvement Area, agreed.

He told the committee he visited the business that prompted the complaint â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a shwarma restaurant â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and found the sign is on a

News - A â&#x20AC;&#x153;proliferationâ&#x20AC;? of illuminated digital signs in business windows doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deserve to be studied â&#x20AC;&#x201C; yet.

Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs suggested the city study LED signs, which chief building ofďŹ cial Arlene Gregoire said can be bought for $200.

But on March 26, the planning committee decided to refer the issue to the next term of council, to be considered as part of councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s priorities for the four years following the election of a new council on Oct. 27.

Gregoire agreed with Hobbs that the issue could merit review. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unless we have rules before this proliferation occurs, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re stuck with non-conforming rights,â&#x20AC;? Gregoire said.

She agreed there was a need to study the signs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not necessarily to create another layer of bureaucracy or a permit process or fee, but to look at what restrictions might be put in place to prevent the signs from bothering neighbours.

Hobbs said a resident in the Holland Avenue area of her ward complained to her ofďŹ ce about a lit sign, which prompted the councillorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest in the issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you get into urban areas, people are living right across from businesses,â&#x20AC;? Hobbs said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you look at a proliferation, it can lead to a problem.â&#x20AC;?

She suggested a study could lead to a recommendation such as limiting the hours the signs can be illuminated.

Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder said the issue isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a priority. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re reacting to not a huge outcry from anyone,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It looks like another layer of

A year later, boys from Mindware share their story Michelle Nash

News - A year ago, all Jayden Findlay was thinking about was how to deal with his emotions and try to control his verbal diarrhea.

Now Findlay said everything has improved – especially what he calls his “filter.”

He is focused on academics and his desire to finishing a science fiction novel.

The only thing that has stayed the same is his time spent at Mindware Academy and participating in the school’s after-school social group.

“I have been able to make and keep friends,” Findlay said.

I have been able to make and keep friends JAYDEN FINDLAY

The keeping a friend, according to his teachers, is probably one of his biggest achievements. Findlay agreed.

“I am really proud of my accomplishments,” he said.

Diagnosed with a non-verbal learning disability, Findlay began attending the private school in the city’s west end because going to public school had become more about dealing with bullies and unsympathetic teaching staff.

The school offers children

with learning disabilities a different approach to education.

The daytime and after-school social group helps boys like Findlay work on social interactions and feelings.

Last year, Metroland Media spoke with Findlay and his fellow social group members, Josh Wells, Callum Nightingale, Nikita Sautchenko, Nick Fejes, Christian Devey and Cameron Nielson about a letter they wrote, expressing their feelings and asking people to be open-minded and try to understand what it is like to live with a disability, like autism and Asperger’s syndrome.

To celebrate Autism Awareness Day on April 3, the boys wanted to recap all that has happened in the past year.

“Our school received many calls about the letter, many people who said they were touched by the boys’ words,” said their teacher, Susan Mancini.

Beyond outside recognition of the letter, having the boys express their feelings was all part of the groups steps to becoming more successful in dealing with social situations, reading people and understanding what is right and wrong.

Last year, Callum Nightingale said he always felt stressed out and cried often.

One year later, Nightingale has not only improved dealing with his social skills, nerves and stresses, he has also taken on a leadership role at the school. The 14-year-old has been helping younger boys and girls at the school, teach-

One year later, Mindware Academy students Nick Fejes, left, and Nikita Sautchenko talk about their accomplishments in their social skills class. ing them social skills and giving them tips and pointers he has learned -- something Mancini said shows how much he has improved.

For many of the boys, this will be the last year they attend school at Mindware, as they are off to high school next year.

Each has their own apprehensions about going back to a public school, but were confident in the fact they have learned the skills to prosper.

For Nightingale, he said if he gets anxious, he will be able to handle it.

For Fejes, he said he has learned it is OK to walk away and ignore bullying.

Fejes joked life would be easier if everyone had Asperger’s like him, but then he wouldn’t be special.

“The fact that I will be in a school that will be more than one class full of students is frightening, but I am going to use my coping skills to make

it through,” he said.

Every single one of the boys said they have cherished the time they have spent in the social group and at the school.

The school will host an information session about its social skills classes on April 24. Event organizer Caroline George, a social skills and after-school teacher at the school, said the classes aim to work on exactly what the students want to work on. Role-

playing, social story-telling and team building are all part of the process she added, saying every day is never quite the same, but builds off of the last day.

“You learn to really talk, to really relate to people,” Findlay said. “I strongly recommend it.”

Sports - The Ottawa Fury FC has teamed up with the West Ottawa Soccer Club to support the amateur club’s player development in a partnership agreement.

The announcement was made at the Thunderbird Sports Centre on March 24, with several of the professional club’s Canadian players and two West Ottawa youth teams.

The West Ottawa Soccer Club is composed of the former Kanata and Goulbourn clubs, which merged in 2010.

It’s premature to detail the exact ways the clubs will work together, said Fury technical director Phillip Dos Santos, but much of the partnership will be focused on guiding the coaching staff.

He said the Fury will be providing coaches with guidelines and training methods to provide players a high-level soccer culture. Other opportunities, such as clinics with Fury players or

BRIER DODGE/METROLAND

A West Ottawa soccer U15 boys team plays a training game against members of the Ottawa Fury FC professional team at the Thunderbird Sports Centre on March 24. The Fury and West Ottawa Soccer Club had announced a new partnership earlier in the evening.

Ottawa South News EMC - Thursday, April 3, 2014

coaching staff for the youth players, could also happen.

“We know not everyone will make it (to the pro level),” Dos Santos said. “But they will come out of it stronger because they’re working in an excellence environment. They need to grow inside a framework where excellence is part of it.”

He said players need to see professional soccer and grow up knowing what’s needed to make it to the next level in order to be successful; an opportunity that has been lacking in Ottawa. The Fury begin play in the North American Soccer League this spring.

Fury FC president John Pugh said the partnership may also include opportunities on game days for the youth who play for the soccer club, like accompanying the players onto the field. He said the clubs have been in talks for the past six months to put the partnership together, and the Fury attended the club’s latest strategic planning session.

The Canadian Soccer As-

sociation mandates projects like the partnerships for each of Canadian’s five professional soccer teams in order to recruit and identify talent early, Pugh said.

He said most under-17 and under-20 national team players in Canada have an association with one of the professional clubs.

“It gives soccer culture in Ottawa and beyond real shape,” said West Ottawa Soccer Club president Brian Mason.

After the announcement, an under-15 West Ottawa team scrimmaged with five of the Canadian Ottawa Fury players, including Ottawa’s Chad Bush, who played with the Fury’s youth academy.

The teams train in the winter at the Thunderbird Sports Centre on Robertson Side Road, and play in a variety of leagues, including the provincial Ontario Youth Soccer League.

The Ottawa Fury also have their own youth academy of competitive girls and boys teams.

Public Meetings All public meetings will be held at Ottawa City Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue West, unless otherwise noted. For a complete agenda and updates, please sign up for e-mail alerts or visit Public Meetings and Notices on ottawa.ca, or call 3-1-1.

Local Sochi Paralympians honoured by bank Brandon Gillet brandon.gillet@metroland.com

News- Local athletes from the 2014 Sochi Paralympics were honoured by CIBC at their South Keys banking centre on March 28.

Bronze medallists from team Canada men’s sledge hockey team, Ben Delaney and Marc Dorion, were among the five athletes who attended the event. Continuous rounds of applause erupted from family and friends for the smiling Paralympians.

Alongside the medallists were Caroline Bisson and Margarita Gorbounova of the biathlon/para-nordic ski team and John Leslie of Arnprior from the para-snowboard team.

Presenting the athletes with commemorative gold-plated medallions were CIBC district vice president Dean Chapman, and Karen O’Neill, chief executive officer of the Canadian Paralympic Committee.

The large turnout nearly filled the banking centre.

“It feels amazing, I didn’t expect this to be such a big turnout, and it’s definitely an incredible welcome home,” said Gorbounova. “I’m really thankful to CIBC for organizing this and to CPC of course.”

She says being part of the Canadian team is a great honour, “I’m really proud to have represented Canada in Sochi.”

“It kind of makes you feel like it doesn’t really matter what happened when you were over there,” said Leslie. “When you come back, Canadians are

“Congratulations to our athletes, coaches, and partners,” said O’Neill. “And again, thank you CIBC for honouring the Canadian Paralympic team in your great work in connecting our athletes across the country.”

More than just toasts East Ottawa public speaking group looking for new members Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Have you ever feared having to stand up in front of a crowd to give a speech?

Besides the age-old remedy of picturing everyone in the audience naked, the Ottawa East Toastmasters have another answer in mind: join the group every Monday to learn how to become a strong, confident speaker.

The Ottawa East Toastmasters host meetings at the Overbrook Community Centre each week, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. The focus and topics change every week, and as the weeks pass by, club president Al Sullivan said members transform from nervous, uncomfortable speakers to strong, confident, organized individuals.

“A lot of people think it is just about public speaking, but it is so much more,” he said.

But don’t think there aren’t any speeches. The club’s activities revolve around speeches, and after a speech, the speaker

gets evaluated by their peers.

It’s not as bad as you may thing, said long-time member Bertillia Christian, it’s neither scary nor uncomfortable or nerve-wracking.

Speakers have the opportunity to receive mentoring, positive criticism and encouragement.

At the end of the day, Sullivan said, the whole point is to become more comfortable and excel at the club as well as in life.

“Everything that we do in this meeting applies to what you do in life,” Sullivan said. “It covers all topics and aspects of your life.”

And the group has many success stories. Julie Pangilinan, an Orléans resident and the club’s membership co-ordinator, joined because as a business owner, she found she always felt uncomfortable speaking to groups.

Now she said she still sometimes feels nervous, but is pleased with her progress and enjoys the relaxed environment.

For Kamal Houssain, he said he always wanted to join the Toastmasters and when he moved to Ottawa from Calgary, he decided to finally take the plunge and join the east-end group.

Since attending his first meeting four years ago, Houssain has become an award-winning speaker.

“It was like a wall was shattered,” he said.

“You learn so much and I encourage anyone to come and try. It is a supportive, friendly environment. I have learned so much, not only about speak, but

about myself.”

Acknowledging the fact that although the group covers all residents in the east-end, meeting in Overbrook has made the organization want to reach out to the neighbourhood.

Sullivan said he has met with the Overbrook Community Association to discuss ways the two organizations can work together.

More information about the group is available at eastottawa. org. Sullivan said new members are always welcome at the group’s weekly meetings.

CITY OF OTTAWA CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT COMBINED SEWAGE STORAGE TUNNEL NOTICE OF FILING OF ADDENDUM In February 2013, the City of Ottawa completed a ‘Schedule C’ Class Environmental Assessment (EA) to develop a preferred solution and functional design for additional storage of combined sewage in the ultimate combined sewer area of Ottawa. In 2013, Combined Sewage Storage Tunnel (CSST) Environmental Study Report (ESR) was completed.

The preferred design of the CSST consists of an east-west tunnel (EWT) through the downtown core from LeBreton Flats to New Edinburgh Park and a north-south tunnel (NST) along Kent Street from Catherine Street to the existing outfall north of Wellington Street. The 2013 ESR concluded that the preferred design for the NST would include a construction staging area in St. Laurent Square.

After consultation took place during preliminary design of the CSST in 2014, it was determined that the CSST could be extended south to Chamberlain Street for an alternative construction staging area for the NST. The resulting change in the preferred construction staging area requires additional property. An addendum is required to evaluate the potential environmental implications.

“The world is watching what you’re doing, how you’re doing it, and everyone is deeply proud,” said McGuinty.

All five athletes spoke of the admiration they had for the support they received in Sochi and upon returning home.

“As you know we come from a beautiful, spectacu-

tition.

“Paralympic athletes have a powerful message to share,” said Bisson. “That message is that everyone, as human beings have this incredible power to adapt, to bounce back when life circumstances brought to us are difficult. That is a power that each and every one of us has.”

By this Notice, the Addendum is being placed on the public record in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Engineers Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2000, as amended 2007 and 2011). Please note that only the changes proposed in the Addendum are open for review.

Ottawa man drowns while vacationing in Cuba Brandon Gillet brandon.gillet@metroland.com

News- Ottawa resident Yue Liu, drowned while vacationing in Cuba with his family on March 19.

While playing with his son Connor, 7, in the shallow beach portion of the ocean at a Varadero resort, a powerful wave swept them both into a riptide toward deeper waters. Liu tried to

hold his sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head above water while calling for help. An unidentiďŹ ed Canadian man jumped into the water and was able to retrieve Connor in time to save him from drowning.

Other Canadian vacationers as well as lifeguards were then able to pull Liu from the deep waters but efforts to resuscitate him failed; it was too late.

Family friend helping fundraising efforts Continued from page 30

He gave his last breath to ensure his son would live, according to family friend Andy Wang.

Wang said his friend’s last words to Connor were, “I cannot save you anymore.”

Liu leaves behind his wife Fanyan Bu, a nine-year-old daughter, son Connor, and Fanyan’s elderly parents. Liu’s parents in China have yet to be informed for fear of health complications at hearing the terrible news.

The Canadian consular office indicates it will cost upwards of $10,000 to send Liu home to Canada to be buried. With the funeral costs, the Liu family is looking at an estimated $30,000 in expenses. The family now faces difficult financial challenges.

“I know he deeply loved his family and worked hard to make sure they were taken care of,” said Wang, who is a member of the Liu family’s Centrepointe community and taught Connor kung-fu at age five.

Neighbours of Liu’s wife and the Chinese community in Ottawa have set up a fundraising committee in order to help the family bring Liu home and cover funeral costs. In the last weekend since the incident, the community raised over $20,000 for the family.

According to Wang, as of March 26 more than 850 people have donated to the Liu fami-

ly to help them not only with the funeral costs, but also to help support his widow, the children, and her parents.

“These donations exemplify the strength and resolve of the community that surrounds the Liu family as they mourn the loss of a loving father, caring husband, and proud son,” said Wang.

Wang said the family would like to find the courageous Canadian who saved Connor.

They are deeply touched by the acts of bravery, kindness, generosity and compassion of the man and others who came to the rescue in Cuba.

Liu immigrated to Canada from Beijing, China, and moved to Ottawa after graduating from Dalhousie University, in Halifax, alongside his wife. He worked in IT, without many other interests other than taking care of his family.

“Most recently, I sat next to Mr. Liu while he was taking pictures of his daughter’s dance performance at a Chinese new year event,” said Wang.

Donations can be made by cheque to Fanyan Bu at 1363 Woodroffe Ave, Unit B, box 33074, Ottawa ON, K2C 3Y9. Paypal or email donations can be made at donate2liuyue@ gmail.com.

A webpage has also been made to raise funds at comefromchina.com/liuyue.

Lulu has a sweet temperament and gets along well with everyone after taking a couple minutes to warm up to new friends.

She will tell stories to anyone who will listen, so she’d be best matched with an owner who appreciates a chatty kitty. Lulu was declawed by her previous owner and would like to be the only feline in your life.

She would love nothing more than to curl up for a catnap in a sunny patch on your living room floor.

Never-ending winter wears on Mother MARY COOK M y sister Audreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voice was stern that night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how often I have to tell you, Maryâ&#x20AC;? she said, wagging a finger under my nose. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has nothing to do with you. Mother gets like that ever so often. You should be used to it by now.â&#x20AC;?

The issue was Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mood.

She had that look about her that gave me knots in the pit of my stomach. But that year winter seemed to go on forever: the snow hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even begun to melt, the Model T was still up on blocks in the drive shed, and Mother seemed more melancholy than usual.

As usual, I thought I had done something to upset her, something terrible like forgetting to close my eyes when saying our prayers at her knee at night or not wiping the oilcloth on the kitchen table to her satisfaction after cleaning up after supper. But Audrey said no, I had done nothing to put her in her mood.

Once again she told me that this time of year was when Mother most missed her beloved New York. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It happens every year. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you remember? Just when winter is about over.â&#x20AC;? And I would ask my sister to explain it all to me again. She said it was sort of like getting the stomach flu, only there was no medicine to make it better.

Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories as often happened, slid to the floor, landing on the Ottawa Farm Journal, or the Family Herald and Weekly Star.

And I would sit at the long kitchen table, pretending to be drawing in a five-cent scribbler, bought at the Rexall One Cent Sale, and kept for just such an evening pastime. But my eyes would be on Mother.

And in the silence of the kitchen,

would put her hand on each head signalling it was time for us to say our own prayer and ask God for special favours.

And I would pray for the end of winter. I would pray that before long our evenings would return to happier times, when joy would come from Mother playing the harmonica, as Audrey and I leafed through Eatonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s catalogue. When the days were longer, the snow had left the foundation of the house, and Mother would once again return from wherever she was on those dark and gloomy nights at the end of winter.

NO PAPER

STEP AND VISIT THE MAHOGANY SALES CENTRE.

To make matters worse, the last big snow storm prevented the Philadelphia Inquirer from arriving at Ritzaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Drug Store. The paper was as thick as Eatonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catalogue, and once Mr. Ritza told Mother she was the only one in the entire county who got the Philadelphia Inquirer.

So Mother was even without that connection to the city she had left, to live in the backwoods of Renfrew County, on a farm with no running water, no electricity and miles from the nearest town.

It seemed to me that during the day, Mother was happier than she was at night this time of year. And again, my much wiser and older sister Audrey said it was because her days were filled with washing and ironing, baking, and keeping the old log house in tip-top shape.

It was the evenings, when only the coal-oil lamp in the middle of the table lit the kitchen, and the wind howled outside, and the branches of the bare tree close to the house scraped against the windows, that Mother fidgeted at one end of the table, often staring off into space. She took to looking up to one corner of the kitchen ceiling, as if she were searching for something.

Then she would give her head a shake, and bend down to her diaries in front of her.

If Father was aware of the change in Mother, he said nothing. He still dozed in the rocking chair by the cook stove, puffing on his pipe until he fell asleep, and the pipe landed on his chest leaving his mouth, or

the brothers quietly doing what amused them, and Audrey embroidering, I could actually hear Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pencil, sliding over the page in her diary. It made the faintest of sounds, but on those evenings when Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind was a million miles away, I was so aware of every move she made at the end of the table.

It was at that time that she wrote furiously in her diaries. She sat with

her left arm circling her scribbler, and I would see her nod, as if confirming what she was writing, and I could tell when she came to the end of a sentence. She would jab at the paper with the pencil, as if to say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;There now. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how I feel.â&#x20AC;?

I longed to see what she had written, but of course, no one was allowed near her scribblers which were kept in the upper shelf of the back-to-the-wall cupboard. That was a sacred place.

At other times I would fall asleep to the click-clack of the old treadle Singer sewing machine when Mother sewed after we had gone to bed. It was a wonderful, soothing sound.

But now, the house was quiet.

The only sounds came from Father plugging more wood into the stove.

We would have said our prayers as usual. And as usual, Mother

RedBlacks name, rename mascot Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

Sports - Over 100 students from Kanata’s French public school in Morgan’s Grant cheered the announcement of the RedBlacks mascot name – Big Joe Mufferaw – on March 28.

But, by March 31, the name was changed: Just “Big Joe” in English, and “Grand Jos” in French.

According to a RedBlacks news release, the franchise “unintentionally offended some with the original name,” reads a quote from Jeff Hunt, president of OSEG sports, “and we sincerely apologize for that.”

The origin of the name comes

from the main character in a series of books by Bernie Bedore who based his character, Joe Mufferaw, on Joseph Montferrand, a French-Canadian logger and French language rights pioneer. The Big Joe Mufferaw character was made more famous with the Stompin’ Tom Connors song of the same name.

The change might come as a shock to students who, at the unveiling, greeted the announcement with whoops of applause, clamouring to shake hands and hug the mascot.

The unveiling did not go quite the same elsewhere in Ottawa.

Some went to Twitter to express their delight at the Big Joe Mufferaw name, as a fan poll showed thousands

in support of it. However, others said they felt the use of the anglicized version of Montferrand alienates French-Canadians, and even expunges the Outaouais legend’s francophone roots.

Students at Kanata’s French public school in Morgan’s Grant are excited to greet the Ottawa RedBlacks mascot, whose name was revealed at the school on March 28. The mascot was renamed Big Joe in English and Grand Jos in French on March 31 after some felt offended by the anglicized first verison.

The parking garage to be built on Second Avenue in the Glebe which will provide 149 vehicle parking spaces and 35 bicycle parking spaces for patrons of local businesses has been delayed one year.

Glebe parking garage delayed

NEW LIFE

Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - A garage being planned for the Glebe to handle added parking needs in the wake of the redevelopment of Lansdowne Park is being put on hold for the time being.

The garage has been delayed one year, said Capital Coun. David Chernushenko, because the construction schedule has been deemed too ambitious.

The $9.5-million structure was approved by city council last year and the grey, four-storey parking garage will replace the existing 60-space city parking lot on that property.

Bank Street shoppers currently have 75 municipal spaces in which to park, with the overflow currently ending up on residential streets.

A municipal parking garage for the neighbourhood was initially approved when the last city council looked at redeveloping Lansdowne Park. The four-storey facility was aimed to increase available parking for Bank Street shoppers. The plans for the parking garage were originally supported by the councillor as a means to help out the parking-strapped Glebe, particularly with the redevelopment of Lansdowne underway.

According to the councillor, a third party review determined the work, which was set to begin this spring would not be complete in time for the holiday season. Instead, the construction is planned to begin in March 2015.

“Let’s just say we are taking time to do it right,” Chernushenko said.
