News – Two unsolved robberies at the same Heron Gate furniture store just three months apart have prompted Ottawa police to issue a plea for the public’s help in cracking the cases, which they say are connected.
In the first robbery on Dec. 3 at 8:40 p.m., police say two males wielding handguns and wearing balaclavas entered offices inside Leon’s Furniture at 1718 Heron Rd. at Walkley Road, and demanded cash from several employees. More recently, on March 6 at 8:20 p.m., two customers were allegedly pushed to the
floor inside the store by one suspect, while the other suspect went behind the counter and demanded cash from an employee. “As a result of the investigation and the information that we have, we’re confident that (the robberies) probably are linked,” said Staff. Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, who heads the Ottawa police robbery unit, declining to disclose specifics for investigative reasons. See SUSPECTS, page 2

Suspects fled furniture store without money Continued from page 1
Officers are also looking into whether the suspects are known to store employees. “That’s certainly part of the investigation at this point,â€? said Haarbosch, who did not want to elaborate. No cash was taken in either case, though an employee’s cellphone was allegedly stolen during the December incident. No one was injured in the crimes. “They came in demanding cash and, I think, they weren’t able to obtain it straightaway, and they didn’t want to spend too much time in the store ‌ and then ultimately fled empty-handed,â€? Haarbosch said of one possible reason why the suspects left without the money. Leon’s store general manager, Chris Desjardins, credited his staff for remaining calm during the “scaryâ€? events. “I don’t think there’s anything you can ever do to prepare for events like that, but some of the protocols, procedures we have in place for our store is to help train our staff
and have them in a position of understanding of what to do and how to react ‌â€? Desjardins said. “And I think everyone held true to that, which is why I think nobody was hurt and it all kind of happened without incident.â€? One December robbery suspect is described as a black male, five-foot-three to fivefoot-five, with a small build and wearing a black-hooded sweatshirt with a white logo on the front. The second is also a black male, about 18 years old, between five-foot-eight and five-foot-10, with a skinny build and wearing a blackhooded sweatshirt with the letter P on the front. Police say a suspect from the March robbery is an English-speaking Caucasian male, between five-foot-seven and five-foot-nine, about 240 pounds, heavyset with a hunched back. He was wearing a black or dark blue coat with a white or silver horizontal stripe across the front, dark boots and red gloves. He called his accomplice during the same crime John or Johnny, but, based on witness
statements, may be a female. She is described as an Englishspeaking Caucasian, five-footseven, 210 pounds, heavy set, wearing a dark jacket with a vertical logo on the right side, a red hooded-style sweater underneath, dark pants and black rubber boots. A vehicle, seen parked at the nearby Herongate Mall during the March robbery and operated by a male with short hair styled upwards, may also be linked, Haarbosch said. Anyone with information is asked to call the Ottawa police robbery unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5116, or call in anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477.

Farmers market planned for Beechwood Vendors, food trucks confirmed for summer season Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
ERIN MCCRACKEN
News welcomes new reporter
News -A farmers market is coming to Beechwood Avenue this summer. Vanier resident and co-ordinator of the Claridge Homes Beechwood Famers’ Market, Chris Penton, announced the plans to bring a farmers market back to the Vanier-New Edinburgh area this summer. Penton said the cancellation of Quartier Vanier’s farmers market last year opened the door for him to pursue other options for the community, and began looking at properties along Beechwood as a prime location to reach residents from both sides of the street. “I wanted to bring it back,� Penton said. “I think this will be a great opportunity for the
area.� When the Vanier farmers market was cancelled last year, market stands popped up out front of businesses along Montreal Road and Beechwood in an attempt to fill the void. Vendors said at the time said having space to sell their food in neighbourhoods like Vanier and News Edinburgh is very important to them. So far vendors who have signed on are Foster Family Farm, Hall’s Apples, Knock Out Cattle Company, Top Shelf Preserves, Merry Dairy, Meow That’s Hot. Food trucks will be on-site serving breakfast and lunch options. The location will be a Claridge-owned property at 99 Beechwood Ave., which Penton said the developer wants to animate as it has no plans to build there for at least the next two years. Penton is not new to running markets, having
managed the Little Italy market in the past. The season will open on July 5 and run until mid October. Plans are still in the works, but goal for the market aims to be more than just about selling food: there will be live music and family-fun activities, including a bouncy castle for children, Penton said. There will also be special programming, including the grand opening on July 5, the Great Beechwood Cook Off on Aug. 9, Rootapalooza on Sept. 13 (a celebration of root vegetables) and a thanksgiving event to close the season. “We want to draw people to the market,� he said. The market is currently looking for vendors and artisans. “We want there to be an opportunity for local artisans to come out too,� Penton said. More information is available by contacting Penton at beechwoodfm@gmail.com.

Sleep: the new prescription
I
t can be overwhelming to parent in the digital age. There’s so much advice out there about what to feed kids, how to discipline them and what sorts of extracurricular activities will make them well-rounded, perhaps even perfect, children. Frankly, much of it’s tosh. And as most of us try, inconsistently, to follow the latest advice trends – free-from diets, punish-reward systems of discipline, prescription medication – we are simultaneously seeing a rise in overweight and obesity, constipation, attention deficit disorder, anxiety and behavioural problems in children. Our heads clouded with conflicting information on the Internet, maybe the solution is simpler than we realize: How well are our children sleeping? You may think that’s ridiculous, but sleep is the new vitamin and most of us aren’t getting enough, including children and adolescents. The more I talk to parents, the more I realize most kids seem to have obvious problems in the sleep area. Some

PEOPLE ARE SURPRISED TO KNOW? How good our pizza is, maybe because we are a ďŹ ne dining restaurant and people that don’t know our history or don’t realize that our parents owned one of Ottawa’s ďŹ rst pizzerias in the west end.

m o Fr Ordinary soldiers’ artworks are on the front line of a new display at the Canadian War Museum Nevil Hunt nevil.hunt@metroland.com
Arts - The Canadian War Museum is offering a view of the First World War right from the trenches, as interpreted by professional artists and soldiers who raised a paint brush or
pen in addition to a rifle. The 100th anniversary of the beginning of the First World War is this June, and Canada’s national museums will commemorate four grim years of combat – in Europe and on the home front – through 2019. The first two exhibitions dealing
w i t h what was then called the Great War opened on April 10 at the war museum. The most personal works are those created by soldiers who decided to paint or draw what they saw. They are now part of one of the two concurrent exhibitions, titled Witness – Canadian Art of the First World War. The sketches and drawings made in the trenches or in prisoner-of-war camps – some not much larger than postcards – stand in stark contrast to massive paintings commissioned by the Canadian War Memorials Fund. Some of the works by those in uni-
form were never intended for display in a museum but were created for family back home or comrades. None of the art created by ordinary soldiers has ever been publicly displayed before. In all, 54 artworks are presented in four thematic sections in Witness, including pieces by three artists who would later become part of the Group of Seven: A.Y. Jackson, Arthur Lismer and Frederick Varley. TRANSFORMATION
“The war transformed Canada and you can witness that transformation as it happened,” said war art historian Laura Brandon during an April 9 preview of the exhibition. Brandon introduced the daughter of one soldier-artist during the
launch. Marjorie Gould’s father, Ross Wiggs, served in the Canadian artillery with the McGill Battery and created colour drawings of what he saw during the war. “It’s a real honour for him and for me,” Gould said of his part in the Witness exhibition: a cheerful image of a Canadian soldier, entitled Tommy. Gould also carries with her two small books of drawings her father brought home and it seems a small miracle they survived time near the front lines and then the long trip back to Canada. “There’s a whole series (of drawings of soldiers), from private to general,” Gould said of the neatly bound books.

Soldier-artist John Humphries’ untitled watercolour depicts a soldier on horseback and an ambulance, making their way down a wet road at sunset. In 1919, Humphries was stationed near the town of Saint-Gérard, Belgium. The house in which he was billeted at the time became “a shrine to Canadians” after he painted pictures directly on the walls.

Otto Dix, Zerfallender Kampfgraben (Trench in Ruins), 1924. In this print, German artist Otto Dix depicts a First World War trench in the aftermath of violent shelling. In the dark, crumbling ground, bodies and skeletons merge with the earth. In the distance, Dix uses light, a traditional symbol of hope, to expose an endless field of shell holes.
The works of Wiggs and the other artists will be seen by thousands of Canadians as Witness goes on a crossCanada tour after September. The second exhibition at the war museum is entitled Transformations, and runs concurrently with Witness. It includes paintings from two very different perspectives: the Allied and German sides during the First World War. FROM BOTH SIDES
Canadian artist A.Y. Jackson was a professional painter prior to enlisting in the 60th Battalion in 1915. He fought and was injured, and was appointed as an official war artist in 1917. German artist Otto Dix joined up in 1914, serving in the German army at the Battle of the Somme. While Jackson avoided the depiction of battle, Dix didn’t shy away from incorporating corpses in what has been described as Apocalyptic art. In a few cases, the paths of Jackson and Dix crossed, and there are artworks of locations when they were held by the opposing sides during the war. The Dix works on display include a number on loan from the national gallery in Berlin.
CANADIAN WAR MUSEUM
UPCOMING
Witness and Transformations will be on display at the Canadian War Museum until Sept. 21. They require regular admission to the museum. Many upcoming exhibitions at the war museum and the National Gallery of Canada will share the years of the First World War with Canadians. The gallery will host The Great War: The Persuasive Power of Photography from June 27 to Nov. 16. The war museum will bring in temporary exhibits during the coming five years and will also add to its permanent collection with The Home Front, which opens this September. Complete schedules can be found at www.warmuseum.ca.
Vivian Cummings, A Poppy Field, France, around 1918. The smallest piece in the exhibition, this watercolour by Canadian soldier-artist Vivian Cummings is a rare depiction of a poppy field on the Western Front. It may have been inspired by John McCrae’s popular 1915 poem, In Flanders Fields, which made the poppy a well-known symbol of remembrance of the war dead. CANADIAN WAR MUSEUM

Scrap the Fair Elections Act
T
he most serious flaw among the many, many flaws in the Fair Elections Act is its author, MP Pierre Poilievre. The entire exercise should be scrapped because he is unfit to draw up such a bill, let alone maintain his position as democratic reform minister. Poilievre’s unprecedented attack on Chief Electoral Officer Marc Mayrand’s integrity, impartiality, and motives – saying the referee shouldn’t be wearing a team jersey – was compounded when he claimed Mayrand is trying to pad his power and budget. “He wants more power, a bigger budget and less accountability,� Poilievre told the Senate legal and constitutional affairs committee on April 8. It’s a baseless claim, of course. It even runs contrary to Mayrand’s past actions (always a good indicator of future actions). Instead, Poilievre’s bill reveals his party wants a bigger war chest, less accountability and more power to win elections by preventing non-Conservatives voters from casting their ballot. It encourages bigger contributions to larger parties by making campaign financing loopholes, creating less accountability from a weakened Elections Canada that uncovered the in-and-out scandal and other dirty tricks.
Mayrand aside, Poilievre also levelled baseless attacks against provincial chief electoral officers, scholars, public intellectuals, columnists, experts from various countries around the world, and protesters armed with petitions delivered to 25 MPs’ offices in Canada, including his own. Perhaps conservative Preston Manning, who recently criticized the bill, is next. The point is that elections experts are attacked en masse and without cause by Poilievre. He’s not politely pointing out a dfference of opinion he has with critics – he’s questioning their motives. Since he is presumably an expert on elections, as he is the democratic reform minister and spent some time thinking about the bill before drafting it, that is reason enough to disqualify him from penning it. Elections experts, according to his reasoning, ought to leave the Fair Elections Act up to someone with less specialized knowledge and, say, more common sense. Poilievre has proven that he is not intellectually capable of addressing arguments against the bill. Personal attacks are the surest sign of a flawed intelligence. It’s time to scrap the Fair Elections Act.

‘Social engineering’ or not, we’re better off
A
ttempts by government to change the way people behave are often criticized as “social engineering� and often the criticism is justified. But sometimes the attempts actually help. This is what we draw from an event last week where the city and Ottawa Public Health dropped some statistics on smoking. It’s way down in Ottawa. After stalling for a few years, the smoking rate has dropped to 11 per cent. It was 15 per cent three years ago. According to Ottawa Public Health, ours is the lowest smoking rate in the province. The city can’t claim full credit for this. What has happened here is part of a nation-wide trend that has been going on for decades. In 1999, the smoking rate was 23.2 per cent. In 1985, it was 35 per cent. Some of these figures come from different sources, so comparisons aren’t exact, but you get the idea: in the last 30 years, the percentage of smokers has been halved, or declined by two-thirds, depending on which numbers you use. That’s a significant change of behaviour, one of the most significant ever in our country. If you are old enough to remember when everyone smoked, you know the difference. It is common now to be at parties where everyone

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town in the room used to smoke and none of them do now. A lot of that has to do with peer, rather than governmental, pressure. Suddenly, it was not socially acceptable to light up. Suddenly, people became more fitness conscious. Suddenly, your children were at you about smoking. Suddenly, people weren’t smoking on television. Suddenly, there were no ashtrays in people’s houses. Things like that would have a big effect on us. But governmental action, both through regulation and education has made a difference too. The kids who nagged at you to quit probably picked that up in school. Good for the schools and good for governments at all levels that kept pumping the health statistics out at us.

Of greater significance, though, were the changes made in where smoking was allowable. It got to be really inconvenient to smoke, which was an incentive to quit. It also got to be really expensive, thanks to higher and higher taxes. A pack of cigarettes costs something like $8 now. That’s a deterrent, particularly to young people. But the inconvenience might be even more important. In the days when cigarettes were cheaper, they were also much more visible. You would see people smoking them in grocery stores, on airplanes, in bars, in shopping centres, in theatres, in restaurants, at work. Then the rules began changing. Cigarettes disappeared from the workplace, the stores, airplanes and trains. Then, with considerably more controversy, smoking was banned in bars and restaurants. This may have hurt bar and restaurant owners, but it made a big difference both to non-smokers and to smokers who were thinking of quitting (which, I can say as a reformed smoker, is all of them). The jury may be out on the economic impact of banning smoking in restaurants and bars. But it can be argued that those who want to smoke can step onto the sidewalk. Meanwhile, bars and restaurants have gained new customers who had previously stayed away because they didn’t like to be in a smoky environment.
In short, people who were inclined to quit anyway found they had a greater incentive to do so because smoking had become not just an unhealthy and expensive pastime, but a pain in the neck. Here, there was more help at the governmental level in the provision of anti-smoking programs at clinics and hospitals. Last year, more than 4,300 people took part in stop-smoking programs offered by Ottawa Public Health. There is still muttering about social engineering, particularly as smoking bans spread out of doors. But you can’t argue with the fact that we’re better off for it.

Sleep can do wonderful things and quiet activities (no screens). How long are they sleeping? Many schoolaged children need 10-11 hours of sleep per night. (One of my children needs 12). How well are they sleeping? Do they have too much stimuli in the bedroom? Are they snoring? Do they have too many stuffed animals in their rooms? Too much light? Improving the way your children sleep and the length of your children’s sleep can only have a positive outcome. Despite all the pop psychology available at the click of a button, your grandmother probably had it right: a good night’s sleep really is the best medicine.

One of my favourite overviews of this research is in the second chapter of the 2009 New York Times bestselling book, Nurture Shock, called “The lost hour.� The chapter’s title is based on the statistic that children today get an hour less sleep on average per night than children from 30 years ago. In one study cited by the book’s authors, journalists Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman, a group of 77 fourth-graders and sixth-graders were given instruction to either go to bed early or stay up late for three nights. They were then subject to neurobiological testing. The study’s author determined that just one hour of lost sleep was “equivalent to (the loss of) two years of cognitive maturation and development.� In other words, summarized Bronson, “a slightly sleepy sixth-grader will
perform in class like a mere fourthgrader.� Another study cited in the chapter makes a connection between sleep and regulation of insulin, concluding that kids who don’t sleep are prone to weight problems and diabetes. Sleep is essential for kids to learn, to create positive memories, to stay in good physical health. Teenagers that get a good night’s sleep are less prone to depression. School-aged kids are less likely to have clumsy accidents in the playground. Pre-schoolers are likely to have better cognitive functioning and fewer tantrums. So the next time you’re reading about the latest quick-fix for your children’s health or behaviour, you may want to take a step back and check the clock. How well are the kids winding down at night? Do they have a solid hour of relaxation time with books

Metroland East team wins national, provincial newspaper awards Staff
The Kanata Kourier-Standard picked up a national community newspaper award this year, taking second place in the best feature series category in its circulation class of the Canadian Community Newspaper Awards. Dying for Dignity, a three-part series looking at the need for improved palliative and hospice care in the Ottawa area, was produced by a team of reporters: Michelle Nash, Emma Jackson, Laura Mueller, Jessica Cunha and Blair Edwards. “I’m very proud of our team
of reporters,” said Blair Edwards, news editor of the Kourier-Standard. “They spent countless hours meeting with palliative-care experts, health care professionals, volunteers as well as patients receiving end-of-life care to examine an important issue in Canadian health care.” The Metroland East Special Report team was also honoured with a Joan Gullen Award for Media Excellence in the small print media category for the series. The Gullen prize is sponsored by the Ontario Association of Social Workers. The team also won the Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario’s
Media Awards in the features series category. The series explored the need to rehabilitate the hospice palliative care system by creating a more realistic funding model and ensuring quality end-of-life care is available to everyone who wants and needs it. According to the Canadian Palliative Care Association, most Canadians would prefer to die in a homebased setting, yet nearly 75 per cent of all deaths occur in a hospital. The first part of the series examined palliative care in the Ottawa area and the need for more resources as the population ages.
In the second part, the team looked at a new program in Ottawa that aimed to change how palliative care was delivered and funded across the region. The series wrapped up with a pre-
scription offered by palliative-care experts, who are pressing governments to support a move to integrated end-of-life care. Visit OttawaCommunitynews.com to check out the series.

Canterbury students showcase double bill of dark humour ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Community – Memorizing a character’s lines for a large-scale production may seem like a daunting task, but several Canterbury High School Grade 12 theatre students are learning what it takes to perform multiple acting roles. “Let me just count for a second,” said Emma Keith, ticking off her characters in Eugene Ionesco’s The Killing Game. “Villain, servant, the part of Lucienne and an undertaker,” Keith said, wearing a white lab coat for her fifth role as a doctor. The dark comedy will be performed at Canterbury, Ottawa’s only English performing arts secondary school, on alternating nights with Christopher Durang’s musical comedy A History of the American Film, April 28 to May 3. “Definitely one of the challenges is finding the energy level for all your different characters because you have to have top energy for every single one,” the 17-year-old explained. “You have to give it your all.” This year marks the first time the school will showcase two plays in its auditorium the same week. The 45 Grade 12 students must juggle their acting duties with backstage support under tight deadlines, ensuring the stage is ready for the next play, such as quickly switching out costumes and moving around props. “We each have two production roles and so we get to learn all about the production aspects of a show which we’d all never gotten

Canterbury High School theatre students Emma Keith, left, Aiden AuCoin-Power and Chase Irons-Mills will perform The Killing Game, while Kayla Farris and Thomas Nyhuus will perform A History of the American Film. The double bill, featuring 45 students, runs April 28 to May 3. the opportunity to do yet,” said Kayla Farris, who plays Bette Davis in A History of the American Film. She also organizes wardrobe and has helped spearhead efforts to raise $1,500 to make the show a reality. Her play will take audiences on an actionpacked journey through classic films from the 1920s to 1970s, and will see actors perform roles reminiscent of Bette Davis, Loretta
Young, Henry Fonda and James Cagney. “It’s essentially about the idea of don’t let yourself be ruled by television, social media as to how you’re supposed to live your life,” said drama teacher and show director Paul Griffin. “(Playwright Christopher Durang) satirizes movies because the idea is that if these characters can only get their lives right by adhering to the rules of the movie, the
American life will be great. And of course they can’t.” The Killing Game, directed by drama teacher David Scott, tells the story of a plaguestricken city and its few survivors. Featuring over-the-top characters and funny dialogue, the absurdist comedy will be a rollercoaster that is at times laugh-out-loud funny. “Our purpose is to have (the audience) walk out and go, ‘What the heck was that, what did we just watch?’” Keith said. “And I love that because we make them think and we confuse them. I love that confusion, the absurdity of it all.” The shows are the ideal opportunity for students to apply the skills they’ve learned through their high-school drama studies, said Sydney Hartford, who has five roles in The History of the American Film, and is also handling her show’s publicity “We all know the experience we’ve learned and that these four years are going to help us for the rest of our lives,” she said. For now, students are focusing on channeling their excitement and nervous energy into presenting a polished double bill. “I think nerves are always good,” Hartford said with a grin. “If you feel like, ‘Oh, I’m totally prepared,’ there’s something wrong.” The curtain goes up Monday, April 28 until Thursday, May 1, starting at 7:30 p.m. Both plays will be presented Friday, May 2 and Saturday, May 3, with 4 and 7:30 p.m. showtimes at the school, located at 900 Canterbury Ave. Tickets are $15 for adults, $8 for students and seniors and are available at the door or by calling 613-731-1191, ext. 333.

April is Daffodil Month
Ottawa’s #1 Ranked Soccer Club
LCBO stores support cancer society Community - Last year, the lives of more than 187,000 Canadians changed when they were diagnosed with cancer. It’s for this reason the Canadian Cancer Society raises funds and awareness by asking Canadians to support its Daffodil Month campaign every April. The society asks the public to help support them by making a donation at any of the more than 635 LCBO stores throughout Ontario. Coin and daffodil pin boxes will be displayed at LCBO checkout counters until April 26. The funds raised through donations for daffodil pins will enable the society to continue in its mission to eradicate cancer and enhance the lives of people living with cancer. The society does this by fighting all cancers on multiple fronts, including research, advocacy, prevention, information and support.

OC Transpo has released their transit service changes and adjustments that will be made starting Sunday, April 20th, and Monday, April 21st, 2014. These service improvements are the result of customer comments and operational review. GloucesterSouthgate Ward will see improvements to route 40 through the addition of higher-capacity buses to allow for increased capacity during peak trips. Residents will also see the re-installation of the Rack and Roll program.
Arts - This Earth Day the students of Amy Howe’s Grade 6 class would like to invite area residents to a different kind of art show. The Assumption Catholic School students will host the Assumption Earth Day Art Gala on April 22 in an effort to raise money for an end-of-the-year class trip and to promote the idea that art can be made with anything -- including recycled materials. The Earth Day show’s theme is environment-savvy art pieces. Every piece produced by the students will be created from reused materials, and everyone will contribute something to the show. Howe said going from the idea of hosting a show to making the kind of art the kids wanted wasn’t easy, but in the end, she added was definitely worth it. “This was a huge undertaking, but I think we are more than ready for the show,” she said. The class is participating in the entrepreneurial achievement program business adventure, which encourages students to create a business and raise money for local charities. Administered by the Learning Partnership, it connects public school classes with local businesses to teach the students how to run a successful business. Steve Kinnari, from TD Canada Trust, has mentored the students throughout the project. The class reached out to local Vanier artists for guidance throughout the project and during the show there will be an opportunity for attendees to create their own art with the help of those artists. The class has also involved its school-

Police reviewing need for centres in the community Rethink prompted by need to close Herongate police centre Laura Mueller and Michelle Nash laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Upon learning the police are planning to review whether community police centres are still necessary, city councillors are calling for them to be saved. News that the Ottawa Police Service is planning a review of how best to deliver community policing services – including whether the city’s 15 bricks-and-mortar centres need to be part of that function – came as a surprise to many city councillors. The matter came to light after residents in the Herongate neighbourhood noticed the sign on their community police centre at Cedarwood Drive coming down. In fact,
In my opinion they have never really believed in these community police centres SOMERSET COUN. DIANE HOLMES
the centre had been temporarily closed for months due to health and safety issues at the facility, said Supt. Ty Cameron, and it had been slated for permanent closure a month ago. Community police officer Const. Rebecca Vanderwater’s role hasn’t changed and she will continue to work in the community, Cameron said. The issue prompted Cameron to consider whether a broader review of community
police centres is warranted. That process is just getting underway and will likely continue into next year and the community will have plenty of chance to weigh in, Cameron said. Councillors who shared their thoughts were not enthused about more potential closures. Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans, whose ward is served by the Herongate community police officer, said she wasn’t included in the decision to close the centre, which is technically in Coun. Peter Hume’s Alta Vista Ward. But if Deans has her way, the closure won’t last long – she is working with the police to move the centre into an Ottawa Community Housing building in her ward’s Heatherington neighbourhood, at 1455 Heatherington Rd. “I just think there is some value in having that presence in that neighbourhood,” Deans said. The news that the police were planning to look at closing more centres came as an unpleasant surprise to the councillor. “It surprises me a little bit,” Deans said. “It’s not intuitive to me that they wouldn’t be valuable, but we’ll listen to what they have to say.” Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury, whose community cherishes their two community police officers, was also caught off guard. “I was surprised by that announcement or news,” said Fleury, who was concerned and called police Chief Charles Bordeleau. Fleury said he was assured the role of the community police officers is not being reconsidered – just the need for

Cameron said the centres have been getting less and less drop-in traffic over the years as times change and a lot of reporting functions and information are now available online. “I don’t think people feel there is a need for it,” Cameron said, referring to the bricksand-mortar centres. The centres cost around $180,000 to operate annually, Cameron said. If a space is still needed, Cameron said the police could look at co-locating with other services like the community health centres. In Manotick, the community police centre was moved to the local firehall last year because the office space it was renting became too expensive. Somerset Coun. Diane Holmes said the move was not out
of character because police have long been setting community police centres up for failure. “In my opinion they have never really believed in these community police centres,” she said. “There really has never been an interest in community-based policing.” COMPARISONS
While other police services like Edmonton’s make an effort to involve community members in their work, including having volunteers help take reports on things like stolen bicycles, Ottawa’s police service has been reticent to give civilians access to things like their computer system, Holmes said. A review of how community policing is conducted is a good idea, Holmes said, but
instead of focusing on closing centres, it should look at how to best provide that service. “Redesign the rationale for those police. How can they help the community? How can they get more volunteers in?” Holmes said. In her ward, the move to “bury” the local centre in a second-floor office at city hall “isn’t helpful,” Holmes said. “I can’t imagine people could find it,” she said. “They need to be at-grade, in a community. The police service doesn’t want to pay that rent, even though they have one of the biggest budgets in the city.” Vanier residents discussed the news of Community Police Centres closing at the Vanier Community Association meeting on April 8. Though the idea of closing the centres was not welcome by residents,
some felt the current set-up is not working as well as it could be. Some association members said the business hours at the centre are unclear and simply dropping by the centre is not always the best action. “I think we need to put those centre to better use,” said board member Rose Anne Leonard. “There needs to be more activities, have them open for the community to use them.” Leonard said the most important thing to a community is the officer, and the work between residents and the officer, and that should be the major goal. We want community engagement to make our neighbourhood better, that is what it’s about, we shouldn’t be trapped into just talking about a building,” Leonard said.

Stopping OC Transpo buses at rail crossing less safe: study Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - New gates will be added at four suburban rail crossings but no other changes are needed to OC Transpo’s policies for traversing train tracks, according to a report. OC Transpo bus operators are not required to stop at rail crossings unless the signals are flashing to indicate a train is approaching, and engineers fromconsultant MMM Group have told the city it’s safest to keep that policy. The review was ordered by OC Transpo after a collision between an OC Transpo bus and a Via train on the morning of Sept. 18, 2013, that killed six people, including the bus driver. Based on 30-year-old research from the United States and a review of literature and policies of other municipalities, the report from MMM Group tells the city it could actually expect a 17.4 per cent increase in collisions where trains hit OC Transpo buses if the city required buses to stop at all rail crossings. “Intuitively, many people think that requiring buses to stop at inactive crossings equipped with active protection would offer some safety advantage,” said Geoffrey Millen of MMM Group. “The reality, however, is that there does not appear to be any quantitative evidence indicating that stopping transit buses at these crossings improves road safety performance. Quite to the contrary – the literature indicates that stopping these buses at appropriately equipped crossings will likely result in more collisions overall.” Requiring buses to stop at rail crossings could also increase vehicle-vehicle collisions, Millen said, especially rear-end crashes. Vehicle-vehicle collisions are already five times
more likely near rail crossings, Millen said. Millen’s review found that municipalities across Canada are split on whether to always require buses to stop at protected crossings. Among major cities, Toronto and Montreal require buses to stop. It’s also part of Quebec’s provincial traffic laws. The report was set to be considered at the April 16 transit commission meeting and includes a recommendation that OC Transpo buses only use fully signalled rail crossings. As a result, OC Transpo will spend between $200,000 and $400,000 to add gates to four crossings that currently have only lights, but no gates: Herzberg and March roads in Kanata, and Lester and McCarthy roads in the city’s south end. In Carp, the city is looking at potentially rerouting the once-weekly shopping bus, Route 203, to avoid the two unsignalized rail crossings on Carp and Donald B. Munro roads. Currently, OC Transpo policy requires drivers to stop at those crossings and open the bus door to listen for oncoming trains. STUDY Millen’s main recommendation rests on research undertaken by the U.S. Federal Highway Administration in 1985. Millen said the 30-year-old document is the only real research on the topic related to public-transit buses and the study would be hard to replicate in Canada because there may not be enough data, not to mention the study would be huge and require a great deal of resources.

City to install crossing gates to protect buses in Kanata, south Ottawa Continued from page 22
Although making buses stop would increase the risk of trains colliding with buses, it would reduce collisions in which buses hit trains by 3.3 per cent. Stopping buses would also address risks associated with total rail crossing signal failures. The incidence of total signal failures in Ottawa wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t studied, Millen said. Deputy city manager Steve Kanellakos said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not aware of any total signal failures in Ottawa, at least since the Sept. 18 collision. Via Rail did not respond to a request for information about signal failures or how they are tracked. Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder said thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because Via doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep track of signal glitches â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Crown corporation relies on the public to call them to report signal malfunctions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(The city) can adjust every light in the city from (the traffic control centre),â&#x20AC;? Harder said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And yet these guys canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell when one of their pieces of equipment fails? ... They have to wait for us to tell them. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any idea.â&#x20AC;? Although there have been about a dozen highly-publicized signal glitches at Ottawa rail crossings, Harder said the issues happen almost daily and have been going on since Via upgraded signals in 2012. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The public are just so used to it. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go anywhere without crossing a track,â&#x20AC;? Harder said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are making more noise about it because they probably donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel as safe as they used to because we had a horrific tragedy in our community.â&#x20AC;? In May 2012, the federal government ap-

Jan Harder said the issues happen almost daily and have been going on since Via upgraded signals in 2012. proved $16 million in signal upgrades for the rail crossings in Barrhaven as part of a plan to increase train speeds and ensure safety at those crossings, according to a letter from local MP Pierre Polievre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since that time, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a rash of problems,â&#x20AC;? Harder said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think that for a minute when ... anybody says that a crossing
is down in Barrhaven again that thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a growing list.â&#x20AC;? OC Transpo buses regularly traverse 20 of the 75 rail crossings in the city. At one time the city did have a policy to stop OC Transpo buses at all rail crossings. That procedure came into effect in 1988 following a lobbying effort by the school board,
which argued it was an issue of safety due to perception of consistency with school bus procedures, said Pat Scrimgeour, OC Transpoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manager of transit service planning. That policy was rescinded in 1992 after discussions with Transport Canada related to re-timing of the signal activity to make the signals more consistent.

Students launch crowd-funding project $25,000 needed to purchase live human tissue Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - A group of Carleton students canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to get their hands on live human tissue. The health sciences students recently launched a $25,000 fundraising initiative on Carleton Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crowd-funding website, FutureFunder, in an effort to raise enough money to transform how they study anatomy at the school. The money raised would help purchase preparations of both the spinal cord and blood vessels of the brain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Currently we are using plastic specimens where everything is perfect,â&#x20AC;? said Rebecca Yaworski, one of the students involved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obvi-

In Ontario, those who are younger than 20 are covered by OHIP for a routine eye examination provided by either an optometrist or physician once every 12 months plus any follow-up assessments that may be required.
MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND
Rebecca Yaworski is one of 10 students who are fundraising to bring live human tissues specimens to transform the learning experience for anatomy students at Carleton University. The group launched a crowd-funding initiative on the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s FutureFunder website to raise the $25,000 needed.
Vision problems create obstacles for children to achieve their full learning potential. One in six children has a vision problem, yet most children do not get eye exams before the age of ďŹ ve. Since vision plays such an essential part in a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to learn, excellent sight and eye health are critical their development. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why I encourage all parents to book their childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eye exam before the school year begins to ensure our children start school as conďŹ dent and fully able learners.

ous and easy. But real life is not like that. Real, real-life tissue is simply the better way to study and will deďŹ nitely help with our understanding.â&#x20AC;? The project is supported and created by the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health sciences professors Iain McKinnell and Jeff Dawson who reached out to their students to help launch the fundraiser. Yaworski is a fourth-year biology student with a concentration in health sciences and jumped at the chance to work on the project and help get the word out about the Carleton Anatomy Project campaign. The university does not have the facilities to store human cadavers so the best alternative, according to the group, is to purchase the plastinated models, which are resistant to wear and tear and offer the best thing next to a cadaver. The Orleans native couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be more excited about the project or the concept of one day making it
possible for Carleton students to be able to learn with real tissue samples. One of the unique aspects of the campaign is that three of the students working on it, including Yaworski, might graduate before the tissue samples reach the campus. But for the budding researcher, she said the idea of simply helping out another studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s studies, and potentially making future students as interested in medical science as she is would be reward enough. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to see more students interested in sciences,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a great science program and I think more people need to know that, and this will add to that.â&#x20AC;? The key to making this project work is the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one-year-old online fundraising initiative, FutureFunder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You basically get to direct your own learning,â&#x20AC;? Yaworski said. Her fellow classmates agree. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am involved in this program because I have always thought that revolutionizing learning, in any way shape or form, is the best way to progress our society and actively contribute to our future,â&#x20AC;? said Tom Kazmirchuk who is in his third year at Carleton working on his bachelor of science in biology. To date, the online crowd-funding platform has raised more than $400,000 for student and professorled projects. The university reports that since the launch of the online funding opportunity, there has been a 50 per cent increase in ďŹ rst time donors. This project will be one of the ďŹ rst for FutureFunder to have a high dollar goal, but the students are not worried. Yaworski added that given the amount of time they have set to raise the funds, over 150 days she believes the students will be able to get the job done. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the idea of health services touches everybody,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody has a doctor or has someone who has been sick. Helping to fund this project will ensure the next generation has the tools to learn and desire to become doctors and nurses. You can think of it as, by donating money you are funding the next group of surgeons and scientists.â&#x20AC;? Since the project started midMarch, the team has raised $1,100.

Back to court for heritage school battle City says owner failed to fix up Our Lady School in Lowertown Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Legal wrangling over a rundown Lowertown heritage school thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become the poster child for the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crackdown on derelict buildings is sending the city and its owner
back to court. The city has resumed legal action against Groupe Claude Lauzon, the owner of the Our Lady School on Cumberland Street, for failing to follow through on a legal agreement to protect the building, said built heritage subcommittee chairwoman Jan
Harder, the councillor for Barrhaven Ward. There is now a concern that the 110-year-old building has suffered more damage, she said. Harder had harsh words for Lauzon on April 10: â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not tolerable. The city will not stand by to
watch heritage buildings being destroyed by neglect and inaction.â&#x20AC;? In addition to reviving the court action against Groupe Claude Lauzon, Harder said the mayor has directed the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyer to take â&#x20AC;&#x153;whatever action is necessaryâ&#x20AC;? to ensure the building is stabilized and repaired before next winter.

be issued and whether the structure must be re-assessed by a heritage engineer. LENGTHY CASE
Staff in Groupe Claude Lauzonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office said Claude Lauzon, who oversees the company, was away for two weeks. No one else at the company was available for comment. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the latest gauntlet thrown down in the lengthy legal battle between the company and the city. It began in February of 2013, when Lauzon asked the city for permission to demolish the school based on a report the company commissioned. The city asked Lauzon to meet several conditions, including providing an assessment from a professional heritage engineer on what portions of the structure â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if any â&#x20AC;&#x201C; could be saved. In response, the owner launched court applications against the city. After some back-and-forth legal bickering, the two parties agreed on a strategy that would preserve parts of the building and court proceedings were paused. FORMER SCHOOL
The city had also agreed to waive the annual fee of $47,000 that was supposed to be charged to Groupe Claude Lauzon for encroaching on the road. Bracing and boards blocking off the site extend into the street to ensure safety for passersby. The south and west walls of the former school are supposed to be saved as part of that agreement. John Cooke, an engineer working on behalf of Lauzon, told the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s built heritage committee last October that concerns that Lauzon was not committed to the work were unfounded because the company had agreed to pour $700,000 into retaining those facades. Groupe Claude Lauzon owns a number of unused properties, mainly in Lowertown, Vanier and New Edinburgh. Heritage Ottawa president Leslie Maitland commented that she was happy to see the city take action, but wondered why the Lauzonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business strategy was to let its buildings fall into ruin.

Local market pops up in Glebe Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - Local food and Ottawamade products will be popping up at a Glebe indoor market later this month. The McKeen family of McKeen Metro Grocer will host the pop-up market at the Glebe Community Centre on April 27. According to store director Rebecca McKeen, the market aims to showcase all the local products sold in Glebe shops, including the grocery store. “We’re hoping to create a real atmosphere,” McKeen said. “Basically it’s the Taste of the Glebe meets the farmers markets. Taste, buy, sample and enjoy.” The event feature products from a
wide range of sources, including local bakeries, food suppliers and Glebe businesses. McKeen has been organizing this event for the past six weeks and said she expects at least 40 vendors to attend the event. “Pretty much 97 per cent of the vendors we contacted got back to us right away,” she said. There is no cost for vendors to set up and sell their wares. The goal is to make this an annual or possibly a seasonal event for the community, and McKeen said it’s not just an event for people from the Glebe, but for residents from across the city. The grocery store has partnered with the Glebe Neighbourhood Activities Group to make the event not
only about shopping, but also about socializing, McKeen said. “We want it to be an event where families can come and hang out. We really wanted to make it a community event because the community means so much to us,” she said. All the products featured at the market will also be made available after the pop-up event in the McKeen’s store.

Developers could be tapped to build city parks City may bow out of suburban park building and let developers do it faster Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - The city is looking at getting out of the business of building new suburban parks and instead letting developers do the work. That’s a proposal being looked at as part of an internal review of the city’s development charges bylaw. Developers already pay for the parks to be built – it’s part of the charge for development, which covers the construction of new infrastructure and facilities needed to support the larger population when a new development goes in. Now the city is questioning whether it makes more sense to let builders take the lead in planning and constructing parks in a schedule that better suits their plans for building new communities, mainly in the suburbs. “Should the city continue to collect development charges for parks, or should the developers just build the parks themselves?” said John Moser, the city’s general manager of planning and growth management. “There has been a lot of interest from the development community to do that.” Pierre Dufresne, president of the Greater Ottawa Home Builders’ Association and vice president with Tartan Homes, agreed. He said the change would mean parks could be built sooner. “When a home purchaser moves into a subdivision even in its earlier stages, the park will already be complete,” he said. “It creates a complete community to have it upfront.” Shifting that responsibility to developers is something Moser and his
staff are considering proposing to the city’s planning committee and council next month. While it’s just one part of a larger review of how the city collects fees to cover the cost of expanding services to accommodate development, it would be the most significant shift, Moser said. “If that comes to fruition, it would be a big change in the bylaw,” he said. Since the planning and construction of new parks in the urban core works differently than a masterplanned new suburb, planning staff are considering keeping a fee for parks in the development charge for downtown construction. The city has to wait until it collects enough money from development charges as different phases of homes in a new suburban community are built, so the park often isn’t put in until residents have been living there for some time. Letting the developers do it would give them the flexibility to put in a park before residents move in, which is something builders prefer to do because it’s a good selling feature, Moser said. Many builders ask the city for “front-ending agreements” to hand over more of the money the developer will eventually owe to the city upfront so the park can be built sooner. “I think there is almost an expectation now as more (developers) do that, that the parks will be ready,” Moser said. But that will also mean the city wouldn’t know which new parks were going to be built each year. Right now, there is a list of upcoming park projects, but that responsibility

Dufresne said there has also been discussion about putting a deadline in the developers’ community planning documents approved by the city to ensure the parks are completed in a timely manner – similar to what’s done now for sidewalks and utilities. The shift wouldn’t necessarily mean layoffs or a reduced need for city parks planners, Moser said. Those staffers would still be needed,
but their work would be done at the beginning of the process when developers work with the city to put together a master plan for their communities. “We would be involved as it evolves through the design, working with the industry,” Moser said. “Whatever is built has to be built to city standards. “We would see the same quality of parks. They’ll just be built on a more timely basis,” Moser said. “I think the only thing that will change is: ‘Gee,
it’s done.’ It’s quicker.” Dufresne said the developers might be able to find more efficient ways to build parks. “There might be some more flexibility with the things we’d put into the park,” he said. “We don’t have the same rules of engagement as the city.” A background study on the revisions to the development charges bylaw will be posted on ottawa.ca a few weeks before it will be considered at a May planning committee meeting.

Main streets building height review tops to-do list Planning department will draft nine new community design plans Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Decisions made by the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning department arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always popular, but they are well-informed, said general manager John Moser as he outlined the land-use policy projects his staff will tackle in 2014. He presented a list of projects the department will undertake in 2014, including which communities and main streets will get new plans to guide future development. Following on the heels of
the updated Official Plan approved last fall, the city will review 32 zoning bylaws that will need updating in order to implement the goals of the plan. In the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s central area, zoning bylaw update projects that will get underway in 2014 include: a review of building heights allowed in the Billings Bridge mixed-use centre, an implementation policy for permitted uses on Main Street in Old Ottawa East, as well as building height and permitted uses reviews for traditional main streets including Gladstone Avenue, Somerset Street, Bronson Avenue, Preston Street, Dalhousie Street and McArthur Avenue. Of the nine community design plans set to be completed in 2014, CDPs for Scott Street, Gladstone Station, PrestonCarling, uptown Rideau Street and the former Rockcliffe air base are on the list. Last year, the city drafted
three new transit-oriented design plans for communities at Hurdman, Blair and Lees stations. Community design plans for Bayview station, Centretown and Phase 2 of the east urban community were also approved, as was an updated secondary plan for Montreal Road. A review of the height and mass allowed for small-scale infill homes inside the Greenbelt is expected to wrap up this spring. The city will also undertake a citywide project looking at building density indexing. The city is also looking at developing an online permit and license system called EPal intended to ease the process of applying for development and other permits. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in addition to a few studies that are already underway and will wrap up in 2014, including: defining heights for mid-rise and high-rise buildings, drafting a policy for
secondary dwellings in townhomes, updating floodplain and wetlands mapping and reviewing maximum sizes for office buildings more than 800 metres away from a transit station. City planning staff have been undergoing additional training, Moser said. Fifteen people have now completed an urban design certificate program, while five more planners were certified as LEED Green Associates, bringing the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design experts to 17. Ninety staff members in the planning department also received training on how to better communicate with the public and present ideas. Moser said the department will soon be updating the types of consultations it undertakes as new consultation â&#x20AC;&#x153;toolkitsâ&#x20AC;? are rolled out. The toolkits are the result of a city consultation and review of public engage-
ment strategies that was conducted last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year we did all kinds of things we hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done before. Some of them worked, some of them didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t,â&#x20AC;? Moser said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll continue to have new ways of consulting so â&#x20AC;&#x201C; no disrespect â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t continue to get the same five people out to a consultation.â&#x20AC;? Part of that consultation might look at revising the target timelines the city has set for processing development applications. A deadline of 75 days for the planning department was set around a dozen years ago, but in some development categories the city only hits that deadline for as little as 19 per cent of applications. Part of the issue is that development applications have become increasingly complex over the past 12 years, said Michael Mizzi, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief of development review services. The introduction of the Urban
â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was way to easy!â&#x20AC;?
Design Review Panel in 2010 has also added another hurdle to the process, he said. In light of that, Mizzi said his staff is considering whether the deadlines are still realistic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We might need to look at changing the target figure to be more realistic in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning environment,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest The house at 478 Albert Street is significant for its design value as an excellent example of the Second Empire style, historical value for its association with Thomas Seaton Scott and contextual value as part of a cluster of historic nineteenth century buildings on Albert Street. The building at 478 Albert Street was constructed circa 1874, in the Second Empire style, which was popular in Canada between 1860 and 1900. The architectural features of the building which are characteristic of the ornate Second Empire style include its mansard roof, ornate entrance, prominent second storey elliptical porch, distinct triangular bay windows and intricate dichromatic brick work. The building at 478 Albert Street was designed for and likely by, Thomas Seaton Scott, the first Chief Architect of the Department of Public Works. Scott was a well known Canadian architect whose work in Ottawa included the 1874 design for the west block of Parliament and the Drill Hall at Cartier Square. Later residents of the building included noted Canadian author William Dawson LeSueur, the Victorian Order of Nurses and the Sisters of Service. The building is associated with the former Ashburnham Hill neighbourhood in the west end of Uppertown. Ashburnham Hill was an early residential neighbourhood which was settled by members of Ottawa’s English-speaking elite from the mid- to late-nineteenth century.

Legacy gift to CHEO generates $4.6 million As CHEO gets ready to celebrate its 40th anniversary this year, it is natural to reflect back to the early days of the hospital. It was a dream that was built on sheer will and determination by a community that was committed to providing the best health care for its children and youth. During the late 1960’s and early 70’s, physicians, elected officials, parents and the community at large joined forces to establish a special and distinct hospital to serve the children and youth of eastern Ontario and western Quebec. This group raised $4 million from the community which was a formidable sum for the times.
When Mr. Cochrane died in 1985 the CHEO Foundation received $540,000 from his estate. The Foundation established the Weldon Cochrane Endowment Fund with his gift as directed in his Will. Much has happened and changed at CHEO in the nearly 30 years since Mr. Cochrane’s death, and in that time his legacy gift has generated $4.6 million in interest which has benefited generations of patients and families at CHEO. In 25 years from now based on a conservative interest rate of 6% The Cochrane Endowment Fund will be valued at $19,742,605; in 50 years it will be $84,732,710 and in 100 years it will have reached $1,560,789,584.
THE IMPACT OF MR. COCHRANE’S GENEROUS GIFT IS PROBABLY BEYOND WHAT HE COULD HAVE EVEN IMAGINED WHEN HE MADE IT OVER 30 YEARS AGO. HIS LEGACY LIVES ON AND CONTINUES TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF YOUNG PATIENTS AT CHEO TODAY, AND FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. In 1980, when the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) was only just 11 years old, Weldon Cochrane, an Ottawa chartered accountant and partner with the accounting firm of Coopers and Lybrand (now PriceWaterhouseCoopers) was also the Treasurer on the CHEO Foundation Board. Mr. Cochrane had an appreciation for the importance of leaving a legacy and understood how to make an impact. With that in mind, he made a gift in his Will to CHEO leaving the residual of his estate with instructions for it to be endowed; meaning that the capital would be preserved in perpetuity and the annual interest would be used to fund the important work at CHEO. He was predeceased by his wife, Adrienne Cochrane and his only child, Delma Grace Cochrane.
With these funds CHEO will be able to continue to purchase state of the art equipment, fund lifesaving research while continuing to provide the best in pediatric care for the children and youth of our community. His legacy lives on at CHEO every day through the children and families that benefit from his generous and forward thinking.
As CHEO marks this major milestone, we look back and honor those in our community who made our local children’s hospital a reality and donors like Mr. Cochrane who made children a priority in their lives. Donors like him have helped to ensure that CHEO will be here forever. Why not honour what is most important to you during your lifetime by considering a gift in Will to CHEO. Our children, youth and families deserve to always have excellent health care, to benefit from lifesaving research and be provided with the support programs to live happy and healthy lives now and forever.
WHAT IS FOREVER CHEO? Forever CHEO is a way to ensure that CHEO will always be here to provide excellent care, lifesaving research and invaluable support to children and their families every day by making a gift from your estate. When you leave a gift in your Will to CHEO you have the option of designating it to address immediate needs within the Hospital, the Research Institute or the Forever CHEO Endowment Fund. This fund will preserve the full amount of your gift and disperse the interest to CHEO annually. Since the fund will live on in perpetuity, so will your gift to future generations of children at CHEO. This is a way to leave a permanent and meaningful mark on your community.

Earl Grey rhubarb tea cakes Lifestyle - These pretty tea cakes feature a sweet-tart rhubarb filling and creamy rhubarb glaze that is complemented by the Earl Grey tea flavour. Preparation time: 20 minutes. Standing time: 45 minutes. Cooking time: 40 minutes. Serves 12. INGREDIENTS
Rhubarb Filling and Glaze • 625 ml (2-1/2 cups) chopped rhubarb • 50 ml (1/4 cup) granulated sugar • 150 ml (2/3 cup) icing sugar • 50 ml (1/4 cup) cream cheese, softened • 10 ml (2 tsp) milk (approx)
Rhubarb filling: In a medium saucepan, bring the rhubarb and granulated sugar to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes or until it has thickened and the rhubarb breaks down, stirring occasionally. Let it cool. (Make ahead: store in an airtight container for up to one day or freeze for up to two weeks.) Cakes: Grease and flour a 12-cup, non-stick muffin pan and set it aside. Open the tea bags and pour the leaves into small bowl. Pour boiling water over the leaves and let stand for five minutes. Strain the leaves, reserving half. Add the milk to the tea and set aside. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy, then beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Beat in the vanilla and the reserved tea leaves. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Stir this into the butter mixture alternately with the tea mixture, making three additions of dry ingredients and two of wet.
Spoon the mixture into prepared muffin cups. Bake in a 180 C (350 F) oven for about 20 minutes or until cake tester inserted in centre comes out clean. Let cool in a pan on a rack for 10 minutes. Run knife around edges and remove the cakes from the pan. Place the cakes upside down on rack and let cool. (Make ahead: store cakes in an airtight container for up to one day or freeze for up to two weeks.) Rhubarb glaze: In a food processor or blender, puree 50 ml (1/4 cup) of the cooled, cooked rhubarb until it’s smooth. Add the icing sugar and cream cheese and puree until smooth, adding milk, 5 ml (1 tsp) at a time, until it’s pourable. Trim the tops of the cakes to sit flat. Cut each cake in half. Spread the cut side of the bottom with 15 ml (1 tbsp) of the rhubarb filling. Place remaining half, cut side down, on top. Place cakes upside down on plates. Pour glaze over top of each cake, letting excess drip down sides. Let stand for 30 minutes for glaze to set.

Ronny has solution for panic over loose tooth
W
hy my cousins from Montreal were with us that time of year was beyond me. Ronny and Terry had come with Aunt Helen, who promptly went home on the train as soon as their clothes were unpacked. So it looked like they were going to be with us out on the farm for a while, long enough that Ronny would go off to the Northcote School, while Terry, the youngest, would stay home with Mother. Even though Ronny was a force to contend with, I loved it when the Lapointe cousins visited us on the farm. There was never a dull moment. That early Spring morning, a Saturday it was, I woke with a front tooth in the bottom of my mouth hanging by a thread. I could feel it with my tongue, and I fled my bed like I was on my way to the gallows. Mother was already in the kitchen stirring porridge. I pointed to the tooth, vowed I was on my death bed, and by that time had woken the entire household who still had not gotten up. Mother looked in my mouth and lifted her hand as if she was about to perform surgery, and I clamped my mouth shut

WHERE WILL YOUR TEST DRIVE TAKE YOU?
Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories he said. Well, the last time Ronny experimented with me and one of his high fallootinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ideas, I flew off the shed roof holding an open umbrella and had a splint on my leg for two weeks. Mother was working away at making breakfast for Father and the brothers, who would soon be coming in from the morning chores, and she was paying absolutely no attention to Ronny or me and the seriousness of what was going on around her. I was still crying, with my mouth clamped tight as if my lips had been glued with mucilage. I could wobble the tooth with my tongue, and as far as I was concerned, I was ready to be taken in to old Dr. Murphy. Forget going to the dentist. I remembered the one and only time any of us ever went to a real dentist, it cost $3, and my sister Audrey who was the victim, said he nearly
Ronny jerked the string like he was pulling turnips, and I let it fall to the floor and had the presence of mind to drop the tooth at my feet tight, still screaming at the top of my lungs. Ronny came downstairs into the kitchen, immediately knew what all the fuss was about, and announced that he was completely capable of getting rid of the tooth, and I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel a thing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I get rid of Terryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all the time,â&#x20AC;? he said. Terry, still groggy, and too young to know what was going on, curled up on the creton couch by the Findlay Oval and promptly fell back to sleep. Ronny went to the cupboard, got out the ball of string, and ripped off a good portion and said he would make a loop over the tooth, I would sit on a chair, and he would walk slowly to the back door, hanging on to the other end of the string, and the tooth would be gone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel a thing,â&#x20AC;?

killed her. I knew being driven almost 20 kilometres into Renfrew to have a wobbly tooth removed by Dr. Murphy was out of the question, and I finally agreed to let Ronny look in my mouth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel a thing,â&#x20AC;? Ronny said, as he neared my chair with the ball of string. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For goodness sake, Mary, the tooth is just hanging there. Let Ronny do what he has to do so I can get the breakfast on the table. This commotion over a baby tooth is ridiculous,â&#x20AC;? Mother said as she banged the porridge pot on the Findlay Oval, stirring with a wooden spoon. Making the most of the situation, and adding as much drama as he could muster, Ronny said he would go as far away as the parlour door to pull the string. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That way
you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know when I am going to do it.â&#x20AC;? As he neared my mouth, I told him I would put the string around the tooth, and he reluctantly handed me the ball made up of pieces we had retrieved from parcels bought at Briscoes General Store. All the time I was pressing my tongue against the offending tooth, and I could tell it had loosened considerably. And then just as Ronny headed for the parlour, unrolling the string as he went, I felt the tooth lying in the bottom of my mouth. No longer was it a loose tooth â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it was now a tooth that had come out on its own, with the help of my tongue. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the heart to tell Ronny it was all over. I had a good hold of the end of the string, and told Ronny I was ready. Ronny jerked the string like he was pulling turnips, and I let it fall to the floor and had the presence of mind to drop the tooth at my feet. Ronny skated around the corner of the kitchen, saw the string and the tooth laying on the floor, and puffed up his chest like had just discovered America. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Told you it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt. You probably have other teeth that are ready to come out too. Let me have a look.â&#x20AC;? Well, there was no way I was going to let Ronny pull a perfectly good tooth out of my mouth. No sireee. Mother saved the day by telling us if we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to the table at once for breakfast, she was clearing the kitchen, and we would all have to wait for dinner at noon for our next mouthful of food. Ronny took the tooth between his thumb and finger, looked it over, and said â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be a general any more. I think I will be a dentist!â&#x20AC;?

Rob Baker takes part in the inaugural event on National Capital History Day. The Tragically Hip guitarist gave the keynote speech at the event, explaining history’s importance in our daily lives.
Tragically Hip guitarist brings history to life Tyler Follett tyler.follett@metroland.com
News - Typically when Rob Baker is in front of an audience he’s slashing at his guitar to on a stage in a hockey rink. The Tragically Hip guitarist traded his instrument and the show to take part in Ottawa’s debut National Capital History Day on April 4 at the Confederation Education Centre as the keynote speaker. He also took part in a Q and A session, answering student’s questions. “Personally I find it terrifying doing public speaking,” said Baker. “I thought I’d get out of my comfort zone and give it a shot.” The event is based on the similar National History Day started in the United States in 1974 as a way to celebrate the past and educate students. Endorsed by both the Ottawa public and Catholic school boards, students from high schools around Ottawa showcased their history projects recognizing events of significance. Projects were displayed and judged by a panel, with the day concluding with awards being given out in a ceremony attended by Mayor Jim Watson. “Looking at the other exhibits has been cool,” said Ryan Mannion, a Grade 10 student at A.Y. Jackson Secondary School. Mannion had an exhibit on display at the event. “It’s nice watching people look at your own exhibit.” After giving his speech, Baker took part in a question-and-answer session with students. “Having to lecture or give a speech is not my thing,” said Baker, with a laugh. “I love the Q and A; you get to talk to people so I enjoy that.” The theme of the event was Turning Points in History: People, Ideas and Events.
The Tragically Hip have been incorporating Canadian history in their music since their inception. The band are themselves a big part of Canadian music history with 14 Juno Awards to their name. Songs like Nautical Disaster, Fifty Mission Cap and Wheat Kings were inspired by Canada in the second World War, the Toronto Maple Leafs and life in Western Canada respectively. The group values the importance of understanding history, teaching through their music. Canada’s most famous guitar, Voyageur, was at the event with Baker getting a chance to add his name to an impressive list of users including Stompin’ Tom Connors. HISTORIC GUITAR
The guitar is made with items of historical significance to Canada, from the Bluenose II to Paul Henderson’s hockey stick. Baker was happy to be a part of the inaugural history day. “It’s really a fascinating event,” he said. “I think there should be a lot more of this kind of thing. The guest speakers played a big part in making the successful event. “The opening video greeting from Chris Hadfield had a huge impact on the day itself and students,” said Kristin Riddell, Vice-Principal of Sir Robert Borden High School. “The interactions for students among our teachers, judges and special guests like Jowi Taylor, Rob Baker and Jim Watson was a wonderful experience.” Organizers are already looking ahead to next year, hoping to build off a strong debut. “It was fantastic, it really exceeded our expectations,” said Alison Peters, registrar and one of the organizers, “We’re really looking forward to next year already.”

PET OF THE WEEK
Pet Adoptions /NE YEAR OLD Franklin (A165988) is in search of his happily ever after! Franklin likes to spend his afternoons taking catnaps in various sunny spots or lounging in his cat bed. This independent spirit would make a loyal companion to those that show him love and affection.
FRANKLIN (A165988)
The National Capital Commission-owned houses at 273, 275, 277 and 279 Sussex Dr. are on the move as workers prepare to set the buildings a few metres back on the property in order to widen the roadway. Members of the Lowertown community fought to keep the homes, one of which was former governor general Adrienne Clarksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s childhood home, from being demolished. The reconstruction is part of the plan to complete the NCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ceremonial route, Confederation Boulevard.
I have adopted 2 cats who were starving themselves when they were separated from their family and each other. I ďŹ rst adopted Baudelaire, who did not eat for about 10 days before being reunited with his sister Hibou, who was just as skinny as him when she arrived at my home.
For more information on Franklin and all our adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd. Check out our website at ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

Rabbits are smart and social creatures and make wonderful pets. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re considering adopting a bunny, here are a few things to consider before you â&#x20AC;&#x153;hopâ&#x20AC;? into a commitment: s "UNNIES ARE FRAGILE AND CAN be easily hurt. Children may want to hug and cuddle a pet bunny, as they would a stuffed toy, but this can be dangerous for the rabbit. s 2ABBITS NEED EXERCISE "UNNIES REQUIRE SPACE TO EXERCISE AND shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be conďŹ ned to a cage
Baudelaire
My name is Hibou. I am a 6 year old smoke Persian who was adopted 2 months ago from the SPCA. I was very skinny and my fur full of knots when I arrived at my new home, but now, look at me? Just needed love and tender care, and to be reunited with my brother, who is just as cute as me... My brother Baudelaire, who is a chocolate sealpoint Persian. I am still wondering how our mother did it...
