News - In just one week, Taylor Creighton transformed a blank piece of paper into a source of inspiration for others. Her superhero bear design was chosen from among more than 120 student designs to become the logo for this year’s Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario’s telethon, which happens in June. “It took me like a week because it was in class, so like every period I’d be drawing it,” Creighton, 17, said, following the official unveiling of her logo Wednesday, April 16, at Sir Robert Borden High school, where she attends Grade 12. Superman was her inspiration, and once she had the idea, she was able to quickly bring it to life. “It was different when I started it and then I just thought about flying, and then it came to me,” the Barrhaven resident said. Her creation will be featured on merchandise ranging from plush teddy bears and hats to golf shirts and superhero capes, and will play an important role in helping the CHEO Foundation reach See SUPERHERO, page 2

Barrhaven resident Taylor Creighton is all smiles after her logo design for the 2014 CHEO telethon is officially unveiled Wednesday, April 16. The 17-year-old student was the star of the celebration at Sir Robert Borden High School in Nepean, where she attends Grade 12.

Community - Sarah Djuric knows first hand that paying it forward doesn’t just benefit

others. “Personally, I do feel it really does stay with you,” the 16-year-old said of the feeling she gets when she performs random acts of kindness for

family members, neighbours or strangers. “It gives you a really big sense of fulfillment.” It’s a message the Elmvale resident has learned and benefited from during her five years

in Scouts, thanks to Scouts Canada’s annual Good Turn Week, which happens this year from April 26 to May 4. The nine-day event, which spans the country, is a call to ac-

tion in which Scouts challenge Canadians to do one good turn for others and ask the recipients to pay it forward. See GOOD, page 6

its goal to raise $6.8 million through the 31st telethon this year. Last year, the telethon generated a record-breaking $6.7 million. The funds went in support of research into cancer, youth mental health and childhood obesity as well as purchasing specialized medical equipment at the pediatric hospital. The logo contest has taken place for more than 15 years, but this year marks the first time students were given a theme to work with. The superhero theme was selected, and the slogan that now accompanies Creighton’s logo is “Be a superhero for kids.� “Taylor just created this really fun design. He’s a flying bear. He represented being a superhero for CHEO and it was really great,� said Jaqueline Belsito, CHEO Foundation’s vice-president of philanthropy. The contest is open to students in the hospital’s catchment area, from Kingston to western Quebec to Cornwall. “We reach out to the community and to the youth to submit their designs and their interpretation of what would be fun and simple designs,� Belsito said following the event, which drew Max Keeping and CTV News anchor and telethon co-host Graham Richardson, as well as Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson, Coun. Keith Egli, plus school board and CHEO Foundation officials.

Community - At the mention of monkey bars, Camilla Thomson’s and Alexander Johnston’s eyes light up. The Grade 2 students at Pleasant Park Public School are eagerly anticipating construction next spring of a brand new play structure, featuring a tall slide, monkey bars and ropes, for students in grades 3 to 6. An aging wooden play apparatus used by the older students was torn down in 2011 due to safety concerns. Two smaller play structures that remain at the school are only engineered for smaller children. “I can stand and touch the monkey bars,� said Camilla’s big sister, Ella, who is in Grade 5 at the French immersion school, which has 375 students from junior kindergarten to Grade 6. That prompted members of the school’s parent council to begin fundraising for a new play structure, which comes with an $80,000 price tag. About half that cost comes from preparing the site and creating a woodchip surface that’s wheelchair accessible. The council has generated about $40,000 through fundraising events and donations from individuals and businesses in the community since 2011. They’re hoping a fun fair at the school on Saturday, May 3, which has been in the works for six months, will help significantly.

The council members also have their fin-

gers crossed that their application for a $7,500 grant from the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board is approved. If successful, the grant would be matched by the City of Ottawa. Still, it’s not enough to rely on government funding. “You can only go so far (with government dollars), so that is where the need is, to fill in that very, very large gap,” Thomson said. The playground equipment will provide older students will more opportunity to burn off their energy during recess, allowing them to better concentrate on their studies, said Pleasant Park school principal Guido Ronci. “That helps students keep their energy levels down, and their creativity goes up when they have things like play structures because they invent

games,” he said. The hope is that the council will raise $100,000 through its campaign, with the extra $20,000 going to the purchase of saplings to replace several Ash trees that were infected with Emerald Ash Borer beetles and cut down last year. The money would also cover construction of an outdoor classroom. “For the instruction of science it’s perfect,” said Ronci. “That’s really what it touches on, being able to teach lessons that are closest to the natural habitat of what’s around here.” That’s why the upcoming fun fair is so important. The public is invited to take part in a range of activities, including cardboard carnival games, a silent auction, a cupcake walk, a Mother’s Day craft room, bake and plant sales

and a spa room, where kids can have their hair braided and henna applied to their hands. “It brings everyone together, parents the children and the broader community. So that’s excellent,” said Ronci. “It puts Pleasant Park where it’s supposed to be – in the middle of the community.” The fun fair happens at Pleasant Park Public School, 564 Pleasant Park Rd., on Saturday, May 3 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Proceeds also raised at a Loblaws barbecue at Elmvale Acres Shopping Centre on Saturday, April 26 and Sunday, April 27 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. will go to the playground fund.

Left to right are: Lisa Mierins of Ogilvie Subaru, Don Durst of Subaru Canada, Ottawa City Councillor Tim Tierney, Mr Shiro Ohta - President and CEO of Subaru Canada, and Tom McCullough of Ogilvie Subaru. On January 10, 1977, Ogilvie Subaru became just the 10th dealership in Canada selling those iconic all-wheel drive compacts with the unusual horizontallyopposed ‘pancake’ engines. On April 9 of this year, the Mierins family celebrated 37 successful years of Subaru sales in Ottawa with a brand new location on Parisien Street (just off St. Laurent and the Queensway). The Subaru family of retailers now numbers almost 90 stores from coast to coast and arguably none more impressive and inviting than Ottawa’s own Ogilvie Subaru. The success stories of both Subaru and the Mierins family over the years have blazed very similar trails. Subaru never wavered from their original philosophy that all-wheel drive was the best and safest way to power a passenger vehicle. When they first starting selling vehicles in Canada only large SUV’s and trucks offered all-wheel drive. Now almost every carmaker has followed Subaru’s lead. But where other manufacturers simply bolt on

another drive-train to an existing platform, Subaru designs every aspect their vehicles around a dedicated full-time revolutionary all-wheel drive system. Arnie Mierins and his family also started their vehicle retailing careers with a focused concept. They believe that buying new and pre-owned vehicles and getting them serviced shouldn’t be a stressful or difficult process. They have carefully selected and trained team members over the years that share this credo and treated them the way they want their clients treated; with respect. The end result is a legion of satisfied customers who refer friends and family on a daily basis and staff who buck the automotive industry trend by remaining with the same store year after year after year. Ogilvie Subaru’s manager Tom McCullough sees his team’s role as a very unique mission. While they are constantly welcoming repeat buyers who are very familiar with the entire Subaru

line-up, a great many customers at Ogilvie’s are first-time Subaru owners. Tom and his team take the time to provide personalized tutorials on the unique aspects of Subaru’s design and adhere to another long-time Mierins tenet; no pressure sales. The new showroom is warm, open and inviting with no closed-door ‘finance box’ offices, but instead has comfortable discussion tables and where Ogilvie Subaru consultants listen and learn about their customers’ needs before making recommendations. Among the dignitaries and guests at the grand opening, was Subaru of Canada President and CEO, Mr. Shiro Ohta. He congratulated Lisa Mierins, Tom, and the Ogilvie staff and offered his company’s commitment to continue to excel and improve in 2014. His company is setting high standards, as usual. Their growth in sales over the last decade is the envy of literally every auto manufacturer around the globe. They have set records for safety awards and received prestigious

The location of the new Ogilvie Subaru couldn’t have been better picked nor planned. Just off the Queensway, it’s accessible from any area of the Ottawa/ Gatineau region. With plenty of parking and a very large state-ofthe-art service and parts centre, customers don’t have to wait for appointments or for quick routine maintenance services. And rather than a segregated waiting area, Subaru service clients are welcome to relax in VIP seating with showroom guests. A wise move on Lisa Mierins’ part, because there’s no better salesperson for Subaru than a current Subaru owner. Many industry watchers over the years have bemoaned the lack of a Canadian car. Those critics have never ridden in or driven a Subaru. If anything was built for Canada, it’s Subaru. With intelligent all-wheel drive that requires no driver input, and league-leading fuel economy and spirited performance, all wrapped up in some very stylish and functional models, it’s no wonder that more and more Canadians every year are trading in their ordinary cars for an extraordinary opportunity to live and drive the adventure that is owning a Subaru. Lisa Mierins and Tom McCullough and the entire Ogilvie Subaru team extend a warm invitation to discover what confidence in motion is all about in a way that respects their customers and their world.

Good deeds can have a huge impact Continued from page 1

Good Turn Week is now in its fifth year, and scouting members of all ages, from Beavers to Rovers, continue to think up different ways of performing good deeds. “Last year I made a point of holding 100 doors open through the week,” said Djuric, whose desire to give back extends beyond Scouts to her involvement as a Grade 11 student council representative at Hillcrest High School. “Some people noticed and said thank you,” she said of the reaction she received, adding that others will simply walk by. Regardless of the response, Djuric said she enjoys doing nice things for others, whether it’s holding doors open or raking her neighbours’ leaves. “It does make you feel good even if the person doesn’t appreciate it (vocally) as much as someone else does,” explained Djuric, who is in the Venturer level of Scouts. To further mark Good Turn Week, Scouts Canada is funding 12 large-scale service proj-

ects across Canada and beyond, from sprucing up a service club’s building and food drives to making care packages for the homeless and renovating a school’s kitchen in Mexico. But small-scale efforts can also make a huge impact on someone’s day, said Djuric said, adding that a recent York University study showed that the positive feeling that comes receiving a random act of kindness can stay with a person for six months. “It could be holding the door for someone or buying a coffee for someone behind you in line,” she said. “I’ve had people buy me a coffee. It’s really cool. It makes you feel really good.” In fact, she’s been in line when another customer ahead of her at the cash has purchased coffees for the next 10 people. She said she could never fathom the idea of not giving up her seat on a public transit bus to a senior, someone who is pregnant, or anyone in need. “It should be, ‘I want to do this,’” she said. A survey done last year on behalf of Scouts Canada ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND

Venturer Scout and Elmvale resident Sarah Djuric, 16, is all smiles as she holds the door to an Elmvale Acres Shopping Centre coffee shop April 18. This is just one random act of kindness she plans to perform during Scouts Canada’s annual Good Turn Week.

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.

looked at how often Canadians do good deeds for others and determined that 51 per cent of Canadians benefit from good turns at least once a month. However, only 20 per cent of Canadians are the recipients of a good turn twice a week or more. Djuric is hoping to change that statistic for several people in her Elmvale community in the coming days. Her 18-member Venturer group is currently in the process of planning a clothing drive that will happen during Good Turn Week. They will be putting up posters to advertise their campaign and making do-

nation boxes available so that others can drop off their used children’s and women’s clothing. Everything collected will be given to a women’s shelter in the city. Scouts Canada touts the many benefits that can result from doing kind acts for others, from building stronger communities to youth empowerment to improved mental health. This is why good turns shouldn’t just happen one week of the year, Djuric said. Last May, she and other members of her 101st Ottawa scouting troop, plus their parents, spent one day planting

about 100 saplings in a Kilborn Avenue park. Thanks to Good Turn Week, Scouts of every age, from the very young to those in their late teens, are learning important lessons about giving back that will stay with them for years to come, said Djuric. “You forget that you’re doing good deeds because it comes naturally after a while.” The public is encouraged to share their good deeds during Good Turn Week by submitting them to scouts.ca/goodturn, tweeting them using #goodturn or posting them on the Scouts Canada Facebook page.

Universal childcare is an economic issue

W

hen I ďŹ rst became a mother, I wasn’t sure universally-subsidized childcare was the best thing for families or for tax payers. At the time, I felt I was young enough to take a break from my career, and I valued the care that only I could provide to my children. I didn’t want a surrogate. I wanted to be supermom, in the sense that I would be the one to manage the nurture, feeding and education of my young babes. Three children in and almost a decade later, I’ve changed my mind. Completely. I’ve been managing a home business and working out various part-time childcare arrangements for so many years that I realize the inconsistency of it all has left us all quite stressed out. Perhaps more signiďŹ cantly, the lack of affordable childcare has severely limited my career options. We’ve crunched the numbers upside down and sideways on a regular basis, and every time we realize that paying for care for three children – even when it was just two – plus the cost of me going into a public forum to work (transit, clothing, work luncheons, etc.), would leave me with very little take home pay. In the cost-beneďŹ t analysis – me returning to work or con-

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse tinuing to run my home business part-time so I could still be the point person at home – the latter has always won. If I had the option of affordable childcare, I’d be back into the public sphere in a ash. As it stands, I don’t have a real choice. I’ve concluded that Canada needs a national system of affordable, quality childcare. This is not purely a gendered argument. There is much research out there to suggest that affordable childcare for families can offer a major economic beneďŹ t, and not just for parents with young children. Companies invest a lot in young men and women, to train them and help them build their careers. When the babies arrive, these men and women are often forced to make a choice between family and their careers. The result is that many – mostly women – are eeing the workforce in droves at key points in their career trajectories.

It’s no secret that the population is aging and that the baby boomers are retiring en masse. We need all working-age people to stay in the workforce, to continue to build our economy and pay taxes to support social programs and infrastructure programs. The only way to ensure this happens is to give men and women real choices. The only way to do that is to create a national system of high quality and affordable childcare. Canada has a number of models to emulate. The most obviously cited example is Quebec’s seven-dollar-per-day system. Critics have touted it as expensive and lacking oversight in terms of quality. The latter point is mostly true. Two years ago, an American journalist wrote about the superior preschools in France, which have a standardized quality of teaching staff, food and education. In some of the Nordic countries, there are examples of standardized pay schedules, where all

parents receive government subsidies, but on a sliding scale according to household income. Unfortunately, affordable childcare is a topic that comes and goes in popularity. It’s a great thing to promise in an election, but when the number crunching begins, most leaders turn their backs on it. People using the system advocate for better quality and affordability, but quickly abandon the cause once their own children are school-aged. Part of the problem is that affordable childcare is always presented as an issue for the people that will actually use the system. There’s little emphasis on the beneďŹ ts of a universal childcare system to people of all ages. Affordable and universally accessible childcare is, frankly, a silver bullet if we want to maintain and build a workforce of competent men and women to drive the economy. As we look forward to Canada 20 years from now, we shouldn’t be asking how we can afford to implement a national childcare strategy, but how we can’t.

Stoop-and-scoop this spring

S

pring. Even the word sounds good. Relief after frostbite season. Unfortunately, spring also brings with it the evidence that some dog walkers aren’t doing their duty after their pet has done theirs. Parks, boulevards, sidewalks and pathways in some places are awash in poop and that’s no fun for anyone. The vast majority of dog owners clean up after their pet – if they didn’t, we’d be knee deep in the stuff by now. So how do we convince the offending few to scoop? Do we need more laws and regulations? Pet owners would no doubt say “No.� And our bylaw officers have better things to do than stake out parks on the off-chance a bad owner will offend in plain view. Do we need better education? The city advises owners to scoop poop and take it home, where they should flush it down the toilet so that our sewage system can treat the dog dirt like it does our own. Why not use a garbage can in the park or the bin at home? Turns out all the poop that ends up in the trash will become part of the city’s landfill, making it even more of a challenge to prevent toxins from seeping

into our waterways. Even if you own a dog and choose to use a garbage can, that’s a darn sight better than failing to scoop at all. Maybe we need to make things easier for all pet owners by providing better poop containers in the, shall we say, hotspots. That would take tax dollars. Some offenders may be children who don’t like the idea of carrying a bag of poop to the garbage or back home. If your son or daughter takes the dog out for a walk, why not insist they bring home what Rover eliminates, just to be sure your family isn’t part of the problem. In the end (no pun intended), if the problem gets worse, society will put in place penalties or regulations that affect all dog owners – the good and the bad. Maybe licence costs will rise to cover clean-up costs. Maybe a bylaw you disagree with will be passed. To avoid those potential pitfalls, pet owners should be at the forefront of making sure all owners scoop after their dogs. Use peer pressure. Use education. Carry an extra bag to clean up after an owner who gives you a bad name. After all, it’s dog owners that have the most to lose.

Jazz band forms trans-generational bond

I

n 1974, Pierre Trudeau was re-elected with a minority government, president Richard Nixon imposed a 55 mileper-hour speed limit, Blazing Saddles opened in movie theatres and, in another significant cultural event, four transplanted Brits got together with two Canadians to play traditional jazz. That was the Apex Jazz Band, which on Sunday, April 27, at 2 p.m. celebrates its 40th year at its accustomed hangout, the Royal Oak in Kanata. When you think of the things that don’t last 40 years – which is to say, most things – that’s an amazing accomplishment. Three members of the original band are still playing – leader and clarinetist Roger Cramphorn, trombonist and business manager Rod Digney and bassist Ron Laight, who was only 19 at the time the band formed. The others are drummer Steve Barrette, trumpeter Gordon Tapp and Dave Johnstone on guitar and banjo. Although some people think of traditional jazz (sometimes referred to as Dixieland) as a kind of museum piece, it’s a living thing in the right hands. A contemporary trumpet player from New Orleans, Wynton Marsalis, likes to say that “all jazz is modern.� In other words, because it is improvised on the spot, in

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town the moment, it is always new. You can test that out by going to the band’s website, www.apexjazzband.ca, where you can see videos of the band and catch up on its recordings, dating back to 1977, and its history. There are more than 200 songs in Apex’s repertoire and the band is still learning more. The band’s first gig was at the Black Bottom, a club underneath the Gondola Restaurant on Bank Street. A number of other venues followed, until Apex settled in at its current location for Sunday afternoon shows 24 years ago. Much has changed over the years. The Internet, which has generally had a negative effect on live music, has also helped in some ways. Promotions is an obvious one, but there are others.

“It is no longer necessary to scour record shops to find a recording of something,� Rod Digney notes. “If it exists, one is likely to find it with a simple five-minute Google search from the comfort of home. For us, this has facilitated what I like to call ‘email rehearsals.’ One of the guys finds a vintage tune he’d like the band to do and sends the rest of us a link to a YouTube video or audio we can all listen to. Often, the chords are also available on line, otherwise someone writes them out from the recording. We all have a good listen, often playing along and if he needs to, the trumpeter can write himself a chart for the lead line. We’ll have a quick talk-through just before our regular gig starts, then play it in the show, without ever having gotten together for a rehearsal.� The band members acknowledge that the music does appeal to an older crowd. But not exclusively. “Throughout our existence as a band,� says Rod Digney, “we have learned that young people also love the music – they just don’t know that they like it. “Young people (I am thinking collegeaged students) who would not walk across the street to hear the band, generally get very enthusiastic about the music if they happen to

stumble across us playing, say, at an outdoor venue.� Adds Roger Cramphorn, “What I noticed throughout my musical life here was that generally, the older people came along first then followed by the next generation and then the last few years, the grandchildren started to appear! This gave me great joy because we were teaching kids to enjoy live music and we seemed to form a trans-generational bond with them so we were passing on the love of the music.� Can you think of anything better to be doing for 40 years?

Clever tips make spring cleaning a breeze (NC)—When it comes to keeping your home neat and tidy, there are some rooms that are always a disaster because they are either high-trafďŹ c dirt attractors, or they are dumping zones always getting piled up with junk. These are the rooms we rationalize about cleaning later, but now ‘later’ has arrived in the form of the annual spring clean. Here are some tips to help you take on the hard-toclean spaces like the kitchen and the garage: Kitchen Tips: Get away with easy clean-ups when you can. Place a glass cereal bowl in the microwave with a bit of lemon juice and heat for about 5 minutes. The steam will remove stuck on food for an easy clean-up with paper towel. Get rid of cooking build-up. Food splatters or dirty ďŹ ngers can leave messes on ďŹ nished walls. Use Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Select-A-Size to lift away the toughest soils. It can quickly clean up the walls around the fridge, sink or dinner table. Garage Tips: DeďŹ ne the space. Before you begin, assess the space and ďŹ gure out how you want to use it: for parking, storage, or both. This will help you decide what to purge. Use the walls for storage. The garage is an ideal place to think vertically. Install shelves to house items and organize them by section: tools, seasonal storage, or items you may use frequently. Use multi-purpose products. To save money and time, shop carefully for cleaning aids that can be used for different surfaces. Mr. Clean Multi-Surfaces Liquid Cleaner with Gain, is multi-purpose for indoors and outdoors. This product is especially good on hard-to-clean surfaces like vinyl siding and linoleum. More information is available online at www.mrclean. ca.

Veterans inspire military’s next generation Legion hosts annual luncheon Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Community - Moments after meeting for the first time, retired sergeant Wally Turini and Warrant Officer Eric Gagnon immediately find common ground. “What part of Montreal are

you from?� Gagnon asks the 96-year-old Second World War veteran. They have much more in common than sharing the same home town. The medals adorning each of their chests are evidence of this. They were honoured Tuesday along with about 100 veterans, from the Second World War and Korean War up to currently serving members, at an annual luncheon at Kanata branch 638 of the Royal Canadian Legion, Tuesday, April

15. Turini’s medals represent his time overseas blasting a Howitzer gun at German soldiers to force them out of Italy, from 1940 to 1945. He celebrated his 20th birthday in England just after the war broke out. “We were all young and tough, but they killed a lot of us,� recalls Turini, a Nepean resident who says he will never forget the sound of shrapnel narrowly missing him. “When a shell explodes,

shrapnel flies all over. It whistled by my ear. But we did the same to (enemy soldiers).� Gagnon’s rack of medals is from more recent conflicts, including five deployments to Afghanistan, and missions to Haiti, the Central African Republic, Bosnia and the former Yugoslavia. Much of his intelligence work overseas is secret. Turini doesn’t know it, but Gagnon was not only inspired by veterans like him to recently become a legion branch member,

but also in joining the military 24 years ago. “Maybe part of the reason I joined (the military) was seeing the veterans at parades,� says Gagnon, who attended the luncheon with personnel from the Canadian Forces Electronic Warfare Centre at Shirley’s Bay. “They really forged the freedoms we have today.� Today, the Kanata resident feels a sense of responsibility in bolstering the legion’s membership. Many of the branch’s members are in their 70s.

“I want to carry on the tradition,� says Gagnon. “Everyone is getting older.� Despite dedicating much of his life to the military, Gagnon, 46, reluctantly considers himself a veteran like Turini, and the many other veterans who came to the luncheon from their homes in Arnprior, Carleton Place and across Ottawa, including the Pearly and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre.

Event helps forge connections Continued from page 10

Though he appreciates being honoured at the special meal, Gagnon says it’s difficult to see himself in the same light as the veterans who came before him. “But I guess I am (a veteran) after the 24 years I’ve been doing it,� he says. The luncheon helps forge

strong connections between currently serving military personnel and their predecessors, and ensures their experiences from their years in service won’t be forgotten, says John Cher, Kanata legion branch president. “What they’re doing today is carrying on what these veterans started years and years and years ago,� he says.

ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND

Warrant Officer Eric Gagnon, left, and retired sergeant Wally Turini discover they share the common bonds of the same hometown and years of dedicated service with the Canadian military, including overseas conflict. They were among 100 vets honoured at the Kanata legion on April 15.

Protesters demand telecom giants close digital divide Low-income advocacy group lobbying for cheap Internet access Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - For Elmvale resident Robert Fitzpatrick, the Internet is a lifeline. Without online access to services, the U.S. resident says he wouldn’t even be able to live in Canada with his Canadian wife. “If it wasn’t for the Internet, I wouldn’t even

be here right now,” said Fitzpatrick. He said the Internet allows him to regularly connect with Immigration Canada and fill out the necessary forms in his quest for Canadian citizenship, which is especially important because there is no immigration office near his home. But, he says, the $70 price tag he pays every month is too high, and has, in the past, made it tough for him and his wife to stretch their dollars. They’ve even turned to the food bank during tough times. This prompted Fitzpatrick to join about 40 members of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, a low-income advocacy group with chapters in Ottawa, and march 10 kilometres through the downtown

on April 17. They are calling on Bell, Rogers, Telus, and the federal government to provide people living below the low-income measure with high-speed Internet for $10 a month. “Fight, fight, fight. Internet is a right,” ACORN members chanted near the Canadian Tribute to Human Rights at the corner of Elgin and Lisgar streets. Some walked while others navigated their wheelchairs in a loop that took them past the Parliament Buildings as well as Industry Minister James Moore’s Queen Street office. ACORN members chose to begin and end their rally at the human rights memorial to reflect a 2011 United Nations report stating Internet access is a human right. “And I agree with that because I cannot even

begin to describe all the ways that people are connected … with the Internet,” Fitzpatrick said. ACORN cites a 2010 Statistics Canada report outlining the disparity in access between high- and low-income earners. About 54 per cent of households that earn $30,000 or less had home Internet access, whereas 97 per cent of households making $87,000 or more were connected online. Figures released in a 2012 Statistics Canada Internet usage survey tell a similar story. Almost all those households surveyed making $94,000 or more had home Internet access, while 58 per cent of households earning $30,000 or less were connected online. See CHEAP, page 15

Cheap access may be on horizon Continued from page 14

But the advocacy group points to promising developments south of the border where Comcast launched an Internet program in 2011, offering low-speed Internet for about $10 a month, free Internet training and the chance to purchase a low-cost computer. ACORN’s members are also closely watching Toronto, where Rogers launched a pilot program to provide high-speed Internet to some community housing residents for about $10 a month, as well as the opportunity to buy a refurbished $150 computer. “It’s something that is a huge part of everybody’s life, and, like food or anything else I think that there should be easier and less costly access, especially for kids nowadays,� said Vanier resi-

dent Jaye Rutter. She attended the rally because she says she pays $79.95 a month to connect online, which eats into her grocery budget. “You can’t find a job the old way anymore,� she added. “You can’t even go in and bring in a resume. Everything is through the computer. It’s like a telephone. It’s necessary.� For some, like Fitzpatrick, free Internet access at Ottawa library branches is neither convenient, nor easily accessible. Computer use is limited, said the chair of ACORN’s South Ottawa chapter. Because of his visual impairment, Fitzpatrick must hook up a device to a computer that reads words on the screen to him. But he isn’t able to plug his screen reader into a library computer. “A library computer would not be the best solution,� he said.

BRIDGING COMMUNITIES Ward 22 Update

Rail warning light to be added to Transitway Steve Desroches Deputy Mayor Councillor, Gloucester-South Nepean

Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - The city hopes a new ashing light reminding OC Transpo drivers of rail tracks ahead will make the Transitway safer. There is already a sign warning people of the rail crossing ahead at the site of a fatal collision that killed six people when an OC Transpo bus and Via train collided on Sept. 18. OC Transpo general manager John Manconi said the warning light isn’t being recommended due to reports of rail signal malfunctions, but it could help transit users and operators feel safer. “They said that adding the ashing light aids in improving the situation,â€? he said. “So yes, everything we can do to improve things in any location is a worthwhile investment.â€? The new sign will be placed 210 metres before the rail crossing as bus drivers are headed northbound. There is a curve in that spot, so extra emphasis is warranted, said Christopher Philip, an engineer with a consultant group the city hired called CIMA. While Philip studied different options, including trying to connect the warning light with the rail signal so that it would go off in advance of or at the same time a train approached, he concluded the best option was to have the amber light ash continuously. The situation is different in the southbound direction, Philip said. No light is needed there. “There are no factors that create a dilemma zone (in the southbound directions),â€? Philips said. “The two (directions) do not have to be the same.â€? SIGNAL REPAIRS

Rain Barrel Sale The Riverside South Community Association and the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority are hosting a rain barrel sale and pickup at Claudette Cain Park, 660 River Road, on Saturday, May 31st from 10am to noon. All residents interested in purchasing a rain barrel are asked to order in advance through www.rainbarrel.ca and bring their e-receipts for the pickup. Please note that only barrels ordered in advance are guaranteed to be available for pickup. Each barrel comes fully equipped with a leaf and mosquito filter, an overflow adaptor (permitting multiple barrels to be connected), 1.2 metres of overflow hose and spigot that attaches directly to a garden hose. Rain barrels effectively and safely reduce the amount of water running directly into our local city storm sewers, watercourses or lakes; they encourage infiltration of rainwater on your property; and they provide a ready, inexpensive source of excellent water for the garden all summer long.

Flashing amber light to be added near fatal crash site Continued from page 17

On April 10 Via announced trains would operate at a reduced speed through those six crossings and staff would be stationed at the rail crossings to “provide supplementary support� and ensure drivers stop at the crossings. Via and the city are also looking at whether installing cameras at rail crossings would help minimize the response time if technicians are needed. The Ottawa police have ruled out mischief or tampering as the cause of crossing malfunctions. Via had requested an investigation on April 10. SPEED

Philips also reviewed the traffic speed limit in that section of the Transitway at Fallowfield Road and concluded the city’s speed limit of 50 km/h is acceptable, even though a 60 km/h speed limit would com-

ply with the city’s policies. Still, Philips said he could find no compelling reason to change the speed at this time, especially since the Transitway has fewer vehicles and therefore fewer opportunities for conflicts or collisions. The city lowered the speed limit to 60 km/h in the fall. At the same time, trees and shrubs were removed from the area to improve visibility at the level crossing. BUSES WON’T STOP AT INACTIVE CROSSINGS

The transit commission also received a report reinforcing OC Transpo’s policy of not requiring bus operators to stop at rail crossings that are not activated. The recommendation was based on a review of a 30-year-old study presented to transit commissioners at a briefing on April 9. The report from consultant MMM Group told 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. Factors include buses moving slower as they gear up from a stop, as well as the increased probability of stalling on the tracks. The report also recommends that OC Transpo buses only use fully signalled rail crossings. As a result, the city will spend between $200,000 and $400,000 to add gates to four crossings that are currently signalled only with lights: 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 re-routing 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. OC Transpo buses regularly traverse 20 of the 75 rail crossings in the city.

The Karsh-Masson Gallery features artwork by local, national and international professional artists working in various styles and mediums. This gallery is open daily between 9 a.m. & 8 p.m.

News - Drinking a morning cup of coffee, a sacred ritual for many Ottawa residents, could be doing more good than you think. No, scientists haven’t infused the java with extra vitamins or found a way for it to whiten your teeth, unfortunately, but one some Ottawa businesses have found a way to turn your caffeine habit into a donation to the Ottawa School Breakfast Program. The program, run by the Ottawa Network for Education, is working with Francesco’s Coffee, Thyme and Again, Creative Catering and Farm Boy to help provide nutritious breakfasts for 12,000 Ottawa children in 154 schools. “We know that breakfast programs make a difference,” said Carolyn Hunter, director of the breakfast program. “Research shows that children who eat a nutritious breakfast are more engaged in daily learning, perform better in school and have better self-esteem and health.” The program says it offers over two million meals a school year at the cost of about one dollar per breakfast. “The demand for our program continues to grow every year,” said Kathy McKinlay, president & CEO of the Ottawa Network for Education, which also receives provincial and municipal funding. “We’ll be adding 15 new schools — that’s 200 new children to feed every day, by the end of this school year alone.”

Pushman Park Update I am pleased to announce that construction has begun on the new Rink Shack in Pushman Park located at 1270 Pebble Road. Residents will have noticed that the site has been secured and a granular surface area for the base of the structure has been laid. Work will continue to proceed throughout the next few months and will be completed by late June 2014. Hazardous Waste Depot & the Spring Give Away Weekend SUBMITTED

Children eat breakfast provided through the Ottawa School Breakfast Program. The program will receive proceeds from the sales of Francesco’s Coffee’s Community Breakfast Blend over the next six months. Francesco’s Community Breakfast Blend will be available at participating vendors over the next six months, including Farm Boy for a limited time. Six dollars from the sale of each bag of Community Breakfast Blend sold will go directly towards the breakfast program, which needs to raise $500,000 in the community each year to operate.

“We’re grateful to the community for rallying together to help us meet this growing need – it shows the depth of care that we have for each other and our children as a city,” said McKinlay. Ottawa Network for Education has been working in the community for the last 24 years to provide breakfasts to children in the region.

The City of Ottawa will be providing collection services for household hazardous waste through a number of free one-day depots from May to November. These depots allow for the safe and environmentally friendly collection of corrosive, flammable or poisonous materials. Items can include fluorescent light bulbs, old paint, pharmaceuticals and aerosol containers. The first drop off will take place on May 4th at the Rideau Carleton Raceway located at 4837 Albion Road. For a full list of items accepted at the depots, the entire depot calendar, as well as a list of retailers who accept household hazardous waste materials at any time please visit Ottawa.ca or call 3-1-1. City of Ottawa Youth Portal The City of Ottawa has launched OttYouth, a new web portal on Ottawa.ca designed for youth aged 16-25. This easy to navigate portal is a great tool for engaging youth in municipal matters. Developing a youth portal was identified as a top priority during the City’s Youth Summit Action Plan which was held last year as part of the city’s ongoing commitment to improve how residents access city services. The new portal will allow youth to access a number of resources including job opportunities, recreation programs, and volunteer placements. To learn more about what OttYouth has to offer please visit Ottawa.ca Try and Ottawa Fitness Class for Free From April 28th to May 4th residents can sign up for a free TRY IT pass at one of the city’s 12 participating recreation facilities.

SPRING IS IN THE AIR What a wonderful time of year for renewal and growth. And nowhere is this more evident than in the public schools in River Zone. Here are some examples: - Brookfield High School is introducing a new International Certificate in September 2014. Encourage your children to sign up and become global citizens through a rich set of activities that might include study abroad. - Fielding Drive Public School intermediate students have formed a social justice club called We Make Change. This club builds on ME-to-WE, a national movement of youth leading local community and global change. On April 29, 2014 a large group of Fielding Drive students participated in WE DAY, a major educational event held in Ottawa/ Gatineau. - Bayview Public School will be offering Full Day Kindergarten in September 2014. If you haven’t already registered your child, you can do so any time by calling the school. - Carleton Heights Public School students will be returning to the newly renovated and transformed site on Prince of Wales Drive in September 2014. It will be a 21st Century jewel. - Early French immersion will be introduced at the newly renovated W.E. Gowling Public School in September 2014, beginning with senior kindergarten and growing one grade per year for the next five years. How exciting for the Carlington community and W.E Gowling staff and students.

Community - It’s time to put on your walking shoes. Jane’s Walk Ottawa, an annual event that encourages city residents to explore their neighbourhoods, will take place on May 3 and 4 and participants will have a choice of a number of venues throughout the city. The walks offer the opportunity to: • Find out where Centretown’s foodie hangouts are • Discover Ottawa’s urban sand dune • Talk about everything parks related in Vanier • Celebrate Montfort Hospital’s 60th anniversary, an event which will offer facts about the area and grounds as well as the history of the hospital during the tour. Organizers expect there to be more than 50 walks over the weekend with walks on a range of topics. Janes Walk takes place in more than 100 cities all over the world and is named after writer and urban activist Jane Jacobs. The walks typically are held during the first weekend of May to coincide with Jacobs’s birthday. In 2013, more than 2,000 local people participated in the event. The walks are given once during the weekend, take about an hour, and cover around one to two kilometres. The walks are free, led by volunteers and can focus on just about anything. The Vanier Beautification Committee is organizing a walk which will focus on its local parks. The purpose of the walk is to discuss the parks, the history of the area including Marier, Emond and Optimiste parks and the Vanier Cenotaph. A discussion will follow. “We picked parks and these in particular including the cenotaph, because we adopted these last year and we have plans to further develop Marier Park and install a perennial garden in Optimiste Park,” said Tina Delaney, committee chairwoman. “We would like to invite people to come out and discover the parks and if interested find out more about volunteering with events in the parks.” Promoting the event at a recent Vanier Community Association meeting on April 8, Dan Shipley said the Beautification Committee’s walk would be a great way to

Jen Frechette is surrounded by family after crossing the finish line at the Boston Marathon in 2011. She ran in the marathon this year on April 22.

Greely teacher runs second Boston Marathon Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Jen Frechette said if a year goes by without her running a marathon, she starts to get the itch. Frechette, a resident of Greely and a teacher at Jockvale Elementary ran the Boston Marathon on April 22. It was her second time completing the 42-kilometre course. “I am really excited,” she said before she left for the run in Bean Town. “This will be the eighth marathon for me. And when you finish Boston you feel like a hero.” Frechette has been training since January. She said this year’s heavy snowfall and colder temps made the training frustrating. “I run every Sunday and there’s been times where it’s snowing again or freezing again and it’s frustrating, but you know you have to train or you won’t be ready for Boston. It’s a very tough course.” She said she remembers training last year in -39 Celsius. “Everyone thought we looked like crazy

people,” she said. Frechette runs 30 to 36 kilometres every Sunday with a group from the Running Room. She also trains by using free weights and spin class. Frechette said she started running in high school and now she is addicted. “I stopped running when I had my first daughter but I was at it again by the time she was 10 months,” she said, adding it was basically the same with her second. Frechette ran the New York marathon in the fall, it was the first marathon following the bombing in Boston and she said there was a different feel. “There were a lot of police and security, it was quite amazing,” she said.”I have a feeling Boston is going to have a different feel this year too.” Frechette said her family will likely be glad when she is done running for the season. Her husband, daughters and her parents will be on the sidelines in Boston cheering her on – and hopefully meeting her at the finish line. “It’s going to be very exciting,” she said.

Ottawa man has high hopes for Fury’s inaugural season Tyler Follett tyler.follett@metroland.com

Sports – Kenny Caceros headed into the Ottawa Fury FC’s preason training camp hoping to make a good impression. The midfielder, a Kanata native, was playing on a trial basis for four weeks with the soccer club. “I came in every day not knowing if it was my last or not,” he said. Caceros was announced as the team’s final signing just before the start of the last home preseason game against his alma mater, Syracuse University on March 29. “It was such a relief, now I can shift my focus from just making the team to actually finding my spot on it.” Growing up, Caceros played soccer in Kanata, and for one year in south Nepean. When he was 14 years old, he joined the Fury in 2003, playing for the club’s Youth Academy. “I loved growing up in Ottawa, it’s been nothing but good times,” he said. Playing for the Fury meant travelling to play games in the

United States in the Super Y league, which brought Caceros exposure to scouts. Coaches at Syracuse University liked his game, and offered him an athletic scholarship. “Everything just sort of fell into place,” said Caceros. During his time at Syracuse, he would return home to Ottawa for the summers, playing for the club’s development team. Caceros began his professional career in Ottawa with Capital City FC of the Canadian Soccer League. After a year with the team, he made the jump to the North American Soccer League, signing with FC Edmonton, already the Fury’s biggest rivalry in the league. While with Edmonton, he played in a Canadian Championship game at BC Place against the Vancouver Whitecaps. “It was a fantastic environment, playing 90 minutes at BC Place with 18,000 people,” said Caceros. “It was huge and a really great experience.” See FURY, page 25

It’s no secret that animal welfare is a very different thing for dogs and cats. One of the most striking differences between dogs and cats in our community, and by extension, at the Ottawa Humane Society, is the numbers that enter our care with identification. While just 14 per cent of dogs admitted have either visible identification – a collar and tag – or permanent ID in the form of a microchip, only a sad one per cent of cats are so protected.

Caceros is looking forward to playing his former team in this year’s Canadian Championship. The winner of the yearly tournament that pits the Canadian professional soccer teams against each other gains automatic entry into the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football Champions League, which means additional games, experience, exposure and revenue. Opening the tournament against Edmonton is sure to be extra motivation for Caceros, who will have bragging rights on the line. FC Edmonton defender

Edson Edward and Caceros grew up playing together for the Fury, and even spent a short time as teammates in Edmonton. “He’s one of my best friends I grew up playing against,” said Caceros. “There will definitely be a lot of banter around that game between me and him, there already is.” Caceros is a versatile player, able to play a number of positions, which helps him secure more playing time on the team. Central midfield is his preference, but since joining the professional ranks, Caceros has become an adept defender, playing everything from left and right back to centre back.

It means more playing time, and more opportunities to help the team. “At Edmonton I got experience playing right and left

back, here I’m getting some experience playing centre back,” he said. “I’m comfortable with the ball, (I’m) technically

strong, which maybe helps when playing multiple positions.” Caceros said his experience playing pro soccer has helped teach him to read the game better. Fury head coach Dos Santos said he wants to take advantage of Caceros’ versatility and use him as both as a defender and a midfielder. “We want to find another position for Kenny because of his characteristics, we feel he can do that well,” said Dos Santos. Caceros’ mindset is that is as long as he’s given opportunities, he will take advantage of them. “I just had to do well in every game and you get your lucky chances,” he said.

“Mine have worked out and everything has fallen into place.” The excitement of the inaugural season follows the Fury wherever they go, including Keith Harris Stadium at Carleton University, the temporary home of the team until TD Place’s construction is finished. Making the team only further motivated Caceros to work hard. “It was a big weight off my shoulders,” he said. “When I found out I made it, it was ‘boom!’ Now I can work on getting some minutes, finding my role.” Even though the Fury is an expansion team, expectations are high this season. “It’s great to be a part of

Fury visit brightens students’ day at Blossom Park Elementary Tyler Follett tyler.follett@metroland.com

Sports - Ottawa Fury FC players Carl Haworth and Hamza Elias were joined by the team’s unnamed mascot as they paid a visit to Blossom Park Elementary School. Students made the players feel welcome at the school, giving them a raucous reception in the school’s gym. The two spoke of topics like how to handle with bullying as well as the importance of not giving up in the face of adversity. Haworth shared his experiences of getting cut by Canadian national youth teams a number of times. He never gave up, eventually making the under-23 team that nearly qualified for the Olympics and posted an upset win over a strong United States team. “These things are a lot of fun,� said Haworth. The Barrie-native then demonstrated some fancy footwork, giving the students the show they wanted. Before introducing Elias, students were asked to narrow down where his country of birth is. In no time at all,

students correctly identified Ghana as an African country. The 20 year-old joined the team in March, getting his first taste of Canadian winter, even if it is during a time most are preparing for spring. Elias spoke of coming to a new, unfamiliar country and getting comfortable with his surroundings. The biggest adjustment may just be on the field, as the team braved sub-zero temperatures, harsh winds and rain during their first week of training at Keith Harris Stadium at Carleton University. “It can be very dangerous and difficult training in this kind of cold weather,� said Elias. “It’s not easy but we’re trying.� Students joined Haworth and Elias in a demonstration about how to respond in situations where students witness bullying, as well as the importance of teams. The players explained how every student is an important part of the school team, as well as with friends. Near the end of the day, the Fury mascot joined the fun in front of the crowd.

Students were suddenly stretching out to try to get a piece of him in the form of a high five. The team accepted submissions for the naming of the mascot, with the winner yet to be announced. Students left the gym chanting for the Fury, with the excitement high ahead of their home opener. “The buzz is huge, I hear we’re expecting a sellout,� said Haworth. “That’ll be good for the atmosphere there, we really need the fans to back us and it’s been great so far.�

Wildlife refuge gets licence to care for wildlife “There are times in the year when we have to close intake, but that doesn’t happen often,” she said. “We have the same goals, of course, to save wildlife.” Last year, the Rideau Valley centre took in more than 720 wild mammals and turtles after increasing its own capacity thanks to a number of donations, grants and volunteers. “It was our busiest year ever,” said Badenoch. “We definitely used all of that capacity.” Rowe said if all goes well this year, she’s hoping to apply to expand her wildlife licence in the future. “We want to establish our reputation first,” she said, adding she’s just happy the licensing has been approved and the refuge is moving forward. “It’ll be so exciting to finally be licensed and ready to go.”

Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - Five years ago, Lynne Rowe first had the idea of developing a wildlife sanctuary in Dunrobin – a place where injured and orphaned mammals could recuperate before being released back into the wild. She almost gave up on her dream after years of submitting applications for the proper licensing, going through a court case for unlawfully keeping wildlife on her property, and thousands of hours and dollars spent bringing her land up to code. She was ready to toss in the towel and call the whole thing off. “I had really mixed feelings,” Rowe said. “Part of me was resigned to giving up.” But she didn’t. And in early March, the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources granted Rowe approval to care for wildlife. “It’s really satisfying to see it become official and move forward,” she said. The ministry’s authorization is for one year and inspectors will be monitoring the facility to ensure the rules are being followed, said ministry spokeswoman Jolanta Kowalski. “We’ve reviewed and discussed the conditions,” she said. “We’ve decided that we will now authorize them for one year with limited – an emphasis on limited – authorizations.” Rowe is approved to care for certain types of small mammals, as well as deer. She is limited to a total of 20 animals, with a maximum of five deer, said Kowalski. “Authorized wildlife rehabilitators provide a wonderful service to the residents of Ontario,” she said, adding that many who work in the field volunteer their time to care for the animals. “It’s a crucial service. We do really applaud the people who do follow their authorizations and do this extra work for wildlife.” Rowe, who works four days a

MISTAKES AND SUCCESSES

SUBMITTED

A spokesperson for the Rideau Valley Wildlife Sanctuary says having two wildlife centres will increase the capacity to help animals in need, such as these two orphaned eastern grey squirrels. week at the Sandy Hill Community Health Centre, plans to officially open the wildlife portion of the sanctuary this May. She wants to finish some additional renovations before accepting animals into her care; there is a need for electrical system upgrades to the clinic and proper wildlife formulas and medications.

“We’re licensed to do it now, but we’re not physically ready,” she said. “We want to do what’s best for the wild animals. “We want to do things right.” The Constance Creek Wildlife Refuge is one of a few licensed wildlife centres in the city. The Wild Bird Care Centre deals exclusively in fowls, Ray’s Reptiles focuses

on cold-blooded creatures, and the Rideau Valley Wildlife Sanctuary in North Gower accepts wild mammals and turtles. Heather Badenoch, a volunteer board member with the Rideau Valley sanctuary, said having two wildlife centres will help increase the capacity and number of mammals helped every year.

Before becoming licensed, Rowe dialled back her latest application to the ministry and removed rabiesspectre species, such as raccoons, foxes, skunks and bats, which require more capacity and specialized care. The ministry accepted her simplified submission. Rowe is now approved to care for small mammals – squirrels, chipmunks, groundhogs and rabbits (hares and cottontails) – as well as deer. Fittingly, it was a fawn that kickstarted Rowe’s dream of a wildlife refuge after someone brought one to her in 2009. At that time, the closest sanctuary that accepted deer was in Napanee. “I learned how few wildlife centres there were,” said Rowe. “I started to think about opening my own. I started doing research and found out how huge the need was here.” According to the City of Ottawa, there are at least 1,000 collisions between wildlife and vehicles reported every year, “more than any other area in Ontario.” See VOLUNTEERS, page 32

Volunteers needed to get refuge ‘in the black’ Continued from page 31

Rowe acquired her charity licence and wrote the wildlife care exams in 2009. She then began to look into what was needed to take care of wild animals on her property – which also serves as a sanctuary to abandoned and unwanted farm animals. Her neighbour, Dr. Anne Downes, stepped forward to volunteer her veterinary services for the wildlife centre. Downes teaches the veterinarian technician program at Algonquin College. The Queensway West Animal Hospital has also offered to work with Rowe. Rowe and a number of volunteers built a fenced enclosure on her four-hectare property in preparation to accept fawns, away from the farm animals and to keep human interaction at a minimum. She accepted donations of chain link fencing and caged enclosures for small mammals. She submitted her application to the Ministry of Natural Resources. Things were starting to come together, but she still hadn’t received her

LYNNE ROWE licence. Then, in the fall of 2011, she hit another roadblock. Someone brought her two abandoned baby raccoons. Feeling she had no other option at the time, she took the animals in and cared for them. RACCOONS

“I did make the choice to help the raccoons, to keep them from dying,” she said at the time. “What’s ironic is that I keep these animals because everywhere else in the province is full.”

Ottawa bylaw filed a report to the ministry after they investigated an incident when two domestic donkeys briefly escaped their enclosure. Contractors were installing a chain link fence for the wild animal compound and they moved an existing fence, which allowed the donkeys to escape. The ministry raided Rowe’s property and charged her for possession of wildlife without authorization. The raccoons had to be euthanized because proper procedures weren’t followed, said ministry spokeswoman Kowalski at the time. “The animals had been grouped together, which should not be done,” said Kowalski. “There was no documentation as to where they came from and there was a potential threat of disease. Euthanizing could have been avoided if proper procedures had been followed.” Rowe was fined and the court case resolved in early 2012, she said, adding she was also fined once before the raid for keeping wildlife on her property. After that, when people called with wildlife emergen-

Canlok Stone

cies, Rowe had to tell them she couldn’t help until she had a licence in hand. “Learning to say ‘No’ was a big thing,” Rowe said. “Those few months were just horrible. I reassessed and tried to learn from the experience.” She kept working away. She didn’t give up. “I think it’s important I made mistakes,” she said. “I am so hugely grateful for all the volunteers who have stuck with me through it all. That, I think, is the main thing that kept me going forward. If I hadn’t had that, I don’t think I could have continued.” HELPING HANDS

Rowe has a core group of volunteers who have helped fix up the centre, cared for the farm animals, and taken the training needed to staff a wildlife hotline, which will start taking calls within the next month, she said. The group is also helping prepare the property for the official opening this spring. Now that she is licensed, Rowe is hoping to find some volunteers with event man-

agement and fundraising experience to help keep the Constance Creek Wildlife Refuge in the black. Since deciding to open a refuge on her property, Rowe has used up tens of thousands of her own money along with $20,000 in one-time grant money to build fencing and housing for wildlife. All the centre’s expenses are paid by donations and grants; no funding is provided by government. “It’s a struggle to both do proper care and fundraise,” said Rowe. “I would love to find volunteers with event experience for fundraising. We need monthly donors to help cover ongoing expenses.” Finding money to keep wildlife centres running can be a challenge. “If we get more people who donate $5 or $10 a month, if we get 50 people to do that, we’ll have a base amount of money to work with every month,” said Rowe. “It makes us a much more stable organization.” It costs her around $700 a month to operate the farm animal sanctuary and she ex-

pects the wildlife refuge to add a few hundred dollars to the bill. Rowe does run an educational summer camp for youth, which helps bring in a little extra cash. Campers learn about animal welfare and receive hands-on experience with the farm animals. The camps have been doing so well, Rowe hired a summer student. “It’s one of our big success stories,” she said. Now she will have another success story when the refuge officially opens. “It is really important for me in my life that I’m contributing to my community in some way,” Rowe said. “I’m looking forward to working with the community. I’m looking forward to sharing what I’ve learned and the good news stories. “I’m stubborn. I didn’t give up. Fortunately, it’s working out.” For more information, to donate or volunteer, visit ccwr. ca, email info@ccwr.ca, call 613-222-4719 or search Constance Creek Wildlife Refuge on Facebook.

Spring is here – finally

Entire Store 4 Days Only Thursday April 24th - Sunday April 27th

It’s time for the exciting transition back to outdoor exercise after a winter of stuffy indoor workouts, or lack of exercise all together. Although many of you are eager to lace up your shoes and hit the pavement in the fresh outdoor air, you must first ensure you have the right equipment and that you are exercising in moderation. Overtraining can lead to repetitive strain injuries which occur when exercise intensity, frequency or duration is excessive, and the exerciser doesn’t allow sufficient recovery in between workouts. Chronic insufficient recovery can actually do the body harm and set back training goals. In other words, overtraining can be counterproductive. Overtraining can also quickly lead to the development of injuries such as plantar fasciitis, shin splints, metatarsal stress fractures, Achilles tendinitis and many more painful problems. The trick to proper spring training is

to start off slow, and build to your goal, safely and efficiently using proper support. These days more and more people are using custom orthotics and proper running shoes to correct biomechanical inefficiencies, which can keep them healthy during spring training. This is where the experts at BioPedhttp:// bioped.com in Ottawa can help. BioPed Pedorthists employ a highly disciplined approach around the assessment, fabrication, fitting and adjustment of many varieties of custom orthoticshttp://bioped.com/ about/right_process.asp every day. There is a large variety of orthotic types to help with the many different foot conditions that they see. Also, you shouldn’t have to wait until the problem develops fully before addressing the situation. Custom orthotics can be made for running shoes, sandals – or even roller blades or skates!

footwear including; athletic, comfort, sandals, and orthopedic extra depth shoes – all of which can be sized to fit most foot types. Patients are never left having to find a pair of shoes on their own at BioPed. Their experienced staff knows that can often result in improper selection. The main contributor to the very problem they are attempting to correct! If you’re ready to start spring train safely, or just enjoy a slow, leisurely spring stroll in ultimate comfort, it’s time to visit BioPed today.http://bioped.com/ locations/locations.asp?id=89 BioPed has 4 clinics in Ottawa – located in Barrhaven, Kanata, Orleans or at the Westgate shopping centre.

CITY OF OTTAWA NOTICE OF AN NT OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT Notice is hereby provided that an Official Plan amendment is being considered by the Planning and Growth Management Department at the City of Ottawa. LANDS SUBJECT TO THE PROPOSAL The Official Plan amendment affects properties generally in the area south of Highway 417, north of Dows Lake, west of Rochester Street, and east of Bayswater AvenueBreezehill Avenue-Loretta Avenue, as shown in the figure below.

MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

Neighbourhood Watch will be one of the four new initiatives Crime Prevention Vanier will focus on this year. Residents thinking of starting up a new watch are encouraged to contact the Vanier Community Police Centre.

Residents launch Crime Prevention Vanier Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Although crime rates in Vanier have declined, residents in Vanier are still taking crime prevention seriously. A group of neighbours in the community have launched Crime Prevention Vanier, in an effort to keep crime prevention and reporting in the forefront of the public mind. “I wondered if there was more that could be done that focused specifically on crime prevention and reporting,” said Lucie Marleau, who is leading

the charge. Along with other residents, Marleau met with Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury and Vanier community police officer Jacques Carriere to discuss the initiatives the group wanted to start. Crime Prevention Ottawa launched Together for Vanier in 2007, which sparked a surge of residents becoming involved in the community. The result was a community association and a beautification committee, which today continue to operate and garner interest from new and longtime residents alike.

PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT The purpose of this amendment is to:

In 2012, Crime Prevention Ottawa announced it would be pulling its support from Vanier so it could focus on other areas of the city. At the time, the crime rate had significantly declined and reporting crimes was at a steady increase. \ There were a number of neighbourhood watches in operation and the community association and the beautification committee had created strong relationships with its community police officer and the area’s city councill. See NEIGHBOURS, page 40

DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS / AMENDMENTS UNDER THE PLANNING ACT NOTICE OF AGRICULTURE AND RURAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE MEETING

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS The City of Ottawa would like to receive any comments concerning this proposal. Please forward comments to the undersigned planner via mail, telephone, facsimile or e-mail by May 23, 2014. Comments received will be considered in the evaluation of the amendments. If you wish to be notified of the adoption of the proposed Official Plan amendment, or of the refusal to amend the official plan, you must make a written request to the City of Ottawa to the undersigned planner. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting (meeting date, time and location to be determined) or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the proposed official plan amendment is adopted, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Council of the City of Ottawa to the Ontario Municipal Board. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting (meeting date, time and location to be determined) or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the proposed official plan amendment is adopted, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are reasonable grounds to do so.

Neighbours will see return of crime-prevention walkabouts

2014 Omnibus Zoning By-law Amendment

Public Information Session Tuesday, May 6, 2014 Ottawa City Hall Councillors’ Lounge, 2nd oor 110 Laurier Avenue West 5 to 8:30 p.m.

Continued from page 37

The hope, Crime Prevention Ottawa said at the time, was that residents would continue to work in a crime prevention capacity. For awhile, the association and beautification continued to operate specific committees and outings related to dealing with crime. Beautification continued to hold its weekly Eyes on Vanier walkabouts in the spring and summer where walkers would meet up, walk the neighbourhood and report crimes they saw in progress. The association created a health and safety committee, to address residents concerns. Only because of lack of crime, and interest, Beautification cancelled the walkabouts last year. With the new Crime Prevention Vanier, Marleau said the return of Eyes on Vanier walkabouts will take on a double duty -- crime prevention and social walks --and hopefully garner more interest from residents. “When the walkabout was first created, ‘walkaboos’ could hardly go two blocks without reporting some mischief or infraction to OPS or 311,� Marleau said. “As less and less reporting was needing to be done, we focused the walkabout on other things like picking up trash, themed and destination walks, and

distributing event flyers. The aim of Eyes on Vanier Walkabout 2014 will be determined by the walkaboos who show up. It is not a structured walkabout with a specific objective. Those who show up will determine together what they want to do, where they want to walk.� It will offer residents an opportunity to generate a sense of belonging, allowing them to get to know its many cool nooks and crannies of the area, Marleau added. “That said, I’m hopeful that the walkabout will have a crime reporting lens,� she said. The first walk will take place on May 29 at 7 p.m. in Marier Park. Aside from the re-launch of the walkabouts, the new group will launch three other initiatives: *A new community resource guide - a resource guide for new residents being developed by the Vanier Community Service Centre in partnership with the Vanier Community Association and Embellissement Vanier Beautification *The Light your Porch campaign - residents will be encouraged to leave their front porch light on at night for added safety in the neighbourhood. Low energy light bulbs have been donated to Crime Prevention Vanier by Envi-

rocentre. The project will be promoted at community events taking place in the summer *Neighbourhood Watch A renewed focus on Vanier’s Neighbourhood Watch programs. In collaboration with the Vanier Community Police Centre, Crime Prevention Vanier will raise awareness of the benefits of the program, giving tools and resources to current watches in Vanier and looking for opportunities to create new ones. Marleau said she would like to see all of Vanier covered by watches. “It’s really much easier than people suppose,� she said. “Vanier is only one square mile after all and I believe it is feasible to have most of it covered by neighbourhood watches.� Other ways to help keep Vanier safe is to report suspicious behaviour or activity, graffiti, broken sidewalks, broken street lights, bylaw infractions, prostitution soliciting, public nuisance or intoxication, and anything else of concern. “The more we report, the more resources continue to be allocated to Vanier. Leave your front porch light on, even one small gesture from each resident will help the community as a whole.� For more information, contact Marleau at Crime Prevention Vanier by email at cpvpcv@hotmail.com.

Diet planning much easier now (NC)—Healthy eating is a top concern for many Canadians and it’s especially critical for people living with kidney disease. Following the kidney diet can be particularly tough. Why is it so difficult to manage? Potassium is one good reason. On packaged foods, potassium is not one of the 13 core nutrients that are mandatory on the Nutrition Facts table, so it is often not listed. However, when kidney function begins to decline it becomes more difficult for

the body to filter potassium, water, sodium and phosphorus. Monitoring these elements helps people living with kidney disease maintain their remaining organ function, control the build-up of food wastes and reduce unwanted symptoms, such as nausea. The good news now is that there’s help, with a new online tool called the Kidney Community Kitchen. “This is simply the best online tool I’ve used for managing the kidney diet,� says Patricia Treusch, who donated one of her kidneys to her son

in 2007. “It meets the needs of those dealing with kidney disease and dialysis on so many levels. The first things that come to mind for me are the improved quality of life and the joys of healthy eating and sharing a meal, which are so important.� Free, bilingual, and easy to use, this site (www.kidneycommunitykitchen.ca) provides a way to plan meals and track intake of critical nutrients. While designed specifically for people living with kidney dis-

ease, it is proving handy to the general public. Special features include: • Dietitian-approved and kidneyfriendly recipes; • Drag-and-drop meal planner that tracks vital nutrients; • Drag-and-drop, ready-to-go weekly meal plans created by dietitians; • The ability to submit your recipes to be added and reviewed by dietitians; • A way to ask nutritional questions of qualified dietitians;

Have Your Best Garden Ever in 2014 It’s no secret that a great garden starts with great soil. Soil is a source of nutrients, air and water essen al to the establishment of healthy root systems in plants; but its supply is not inďŹ nite. A neglected soil is far less likely to yield the results you are looking for in your perfect garden. Over me your soil can become nutrient deďŹ cient, compacted or thin which can make it diďŹƒcult to grow and lead to poor plant health. A great soil is rich in nutrients, pH balanced and has excellent lth, allowing for easy air and water ow. Furthermore, a great soil should also be built up enough to allow your plants’ roots plenty of room to grow deep and thus access more water and nutrients. How can you take a red, dull soil and turn it into a great soil? This can be accomplished using a number of techniques. One of the easiest ways to improve such a soil is by using an amendment or enhancer that is made up in large part of organic ma er. Soil amendments are designed to be mixed in with exis ng soils to bolster areas in need of improvement.

The ideal me to introduce organic ma er into your growing areas is in the late Fall. This allows the beneďŹ cial microorganisms in your soil more me to become ac ve before gardening season arrives. While in a perfect world we would all earmark some me for soil amending before the frost, for many of us, our ower beds are far from priority number one when the cold weather starts to set in.

• Forums for sharing stories, ideas and favourite recipes; • Diabetic exchange amounts— good for people monitoring diabetic and renal diets; • Tips, FAQs and other nutritional info about the kidney diet. “The Kidney Community Kitchen was made possible through a special bequest,â€? says Paul Shay, the national executive director of the Kidney Foundation of Canada. “It’s an inspiring example of how legacy giving can truly make a difference.â€?

mineralize the organic nutrients giving your plants more food for healthy growth. Each component in this mix contributes par cles of dierent sizes and shapes. This results in improved airow and drainage and reduces the risk of over compac on. The organicbased soil will also provide excellent water reten on; something your plants’ roots will really appreciate.

Not to worry though! Even if you missed the window last Fall, you can s ll get more out of your soil this Spring. There are great products on the market that can make a real dierence in the results you see from your garden this year, including Manderley’s Premium Lawn and Garden Soil – which can be conveniently delivered right to your driveway in an easy-to-store cubic yard bag.

Giving your best garden ever the head start it deserves isn’t rocket science. Follow these easy steps for best results: Step one - determine how much soil you need. Keep in mind that you should aim to maintain at least a 6� soil depth (pro p – top o your growing areas with 2� of soil every Fall to make up for soil loss caused by erosion, etc.). Step two - go get your soil, or be er yet, have it delivered without the mess or hassle. Step three - ll or turn over the exis ng soil in your growing areas. Step four - add in your soil mix and ensure that your beds reach the appropriate depth. It’s that easy.

Manderley’s soil mix is a 100% natural product consis ng of black earth, organic fer lizer, compost, sand and lime. The organic content in the mix is quite high, which promotes microbial ac vity in your growing area. Microorganisms will work hard to

Understanding the importance of maintaining a healthy soil is the ďŹ rst step in reaching your garden goals for 2014. By following these four steps and giving your plants proper care throughout the gardening season, you’ll be amazed at the dierence.

News - Nepean isn’t known worldwide, or even in Ottawa, for its high-tech startups. But Silicon Valley and Kanata beware; Nepean is making headway in the industry. “It is very attractive for us, we need somewhere that is zoned for manufacturing as well as offices and warehouses,” said Nigel Harris, founder and CEO of Powerstick.com. The company, which currently has 25 employees, produces eight different types of portable power chargers for cell phones. These charges range in size and uses, and can also include portable memory, Blue-

tooth speakers and solar panels. The company is now shipping its chargers worldwide all from their Nepean location, where they design, engineer, manufacture, brand and package their products. “I would say 80 per cent of our staff are from Barrhaven,” said Harris. “Transportation is no problem and we have a great source of employees, they are all very well qualified.” The company has found much of its success, not in the retail market, but by branding these devices for corporations who wish to get their name out. Clients include the Discovery Channel, Ford, Ebay and the U.S military, to name a few. Since being founded in 2011, Powerstick has been growing. They currently occupy a

building on Camelot Drive as well as a second on nearby Bentley Avenue. They could occupy another Nepean building as early as August as expansion continues. “We do intend on staying in this area,” said Harris, who claims Nepean suits his business park needs well. “Everything is done here,” said Harris. “You would be amazed at how many people are doing what behind these walls in terms of putting together this product.” One of Powerstick’s largest customers is the U.S. military which liked Powerstick for involvement in its “electronic soldier” initiative. Harris says the combination of external memory and charging capability is one of the company’s most valuable patents.

News - Ottawa police rescued a woman who jumped in the Rideau River at Cummings Bridge downtown on April 14 around 9 p.m. Police officers were the first to respond and tried to talk to the woman before she jumped off the bridge into the fast-moving water, said Acting Insp. Glenn Wasson. “They attempted to engage the female in conversation,” he said. “After about a minute of conversation or lack thereof, the female decided to jump into the river.” The water was flowing north, so police moved towards the St. Patrick Bridge, looking for the female and using lighting that was set up by the Ottawa fire department. She was spotted alive in the water 10 minutes later, floating towards the St. Patrick Bridge. Const. Colin Bowie then removed the back seat of the police cruiser, which is designed by the manufacturer to be used as an emergency flotation device, and jumped into the water. “Const. Bowie made a split second decision to jump into the water using the rear seat of the police cruiser and was able to save the female,” Wasson said. “It’s a very heroic decision that he made.” Getting out of the water, Bowie was assisted by two other police officers at the scene, Const. Pat Lafrenière and Const. Kristina Correa. They went into the water to assist Bowie and the female, who had hypothermia. “Anytime you’re doing a rescue like that, it’s dangerous, whether the water’s moving fast or not,” Wasson said. The young woman was taken to the hospital by ambulance, where she recovered from hypothermia and was connected with medical personnel. Police would only have rescue operations like this about every two or three years, police said. About an hour later, a female officer responded to a female threatening to jump off the Somerset Bridge, the pedestrian bridge between Colonel By Drive and the Queen Elizabeth Parkway. The officer was able to speak with the female and calm her down before the incident escalated. “It just highlights a lot of excellent work,” Wasson said. “Having two calls back-to-back in such a short period is exceptional.”

Sale of leftover items lost on OC Transpo buses on May 3 Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - A lot has changed since the OC Transpo lost and found opened in 2001. For one thing, it receives far fewer CDs in need of being reunited with their owners. Walkmans have since been replaced on its shelves with iPods and smart phones. “You can really see the cycle of technological development here,” said Moe Moloughney, executive director of Heartwood House. The charity – and Moloughney – have presided over the discarded flotsam and jetsam found on buses and the O-Train since 2001, when the city showed “creativity” in partnering with Heartwood House to provide the lost -and-found. Instead of contracting the service to a company, Heartwood House is able to provide confidenceboosting jobs and real-life testing for participants of its literacy programs. Heartwood House embarked on the lost-andfound’s biggest change to date this winter when it moved to a new location at 404 McAr-

Anyone searching for their lost items can contact Heartwood House at 613563-4011 or lostandfound@ heartwoodhouse.ca. or drop by starting at 8 a.m., but wait until the next day. Items are held by OC Transpo security staff overnight until they can be delivered to Heartwood House for sorting the next day. Then, Heartwood House members get to work registering the items onto forms. Things of high value get entered into a computerized registry. LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND Each day has its own box, Heartwood House executive director Moe Moloughney because that’s usually the stands amongst items lost on the OC Transpo system that easiest way to match people end up at Heartwood House, where the lost-and-found with what they lost – at first. is located.

hang around for two months in the hopes that someone will return for them. But when they don’t, it goes into the annual sale. While the charity does make some money from the sale – usually around $3,000 or $4,000 – it’s just as much about clearing out the up to 4,000 items that can accumulate over a busy winter of people losing their stuff. While travelling around the city, those who live in Sandy Hill near the University of Ottawa are the biggest culprits for losing things, Moloughney said – or at least, their stuff has the highest return rate. Residents of the east end, especially Vanier and Orleans, also seem to leave items on the bus at a higher rate than west-enders, she said. Presto cards – now used for passes and payment on OC Transpo – are becoming a popular item in the lost-and-found, Moloughney said. Since the cards are transferrable and don’t have any identification on them, they can be hard to return. OC Transpso destroys most found Presto cards before

they get to Heartwood House. If the card is registered, the balance is protected. But the cards can be returned if people find a way to put their name on their card or attach it to another ID. Cell phones are also becoming difficult to reunite with their owners because of security features, Moloughney said. If a phone requires a code for access, lost-andfound staff can’t figure out who it belongs to or how to contact them. Many cell phones end up being recycled by Think Recycle. Heartwood House used to return about 80 per cent of cell phones that were found. Now that figure is at around 65 per cent, Moloughney said. She gets around eight to 10 cell phones a day. Moloughney said it’s not the type or number of items lost that surprises her – it’s the number of items people turn in. “That kind of kindess strikes me,” she said. “People call here expecting a 50-50 chance of kindness ... There is extraordinary kindness happening every day on our buses.” R0012632730

with Clean Eating and Active Living Drink to your

Greco’s Fat Loss

One of the best ways to spring cleanse is to add whole food smoothies to your day. We all know that it is important to get your 8-10 servings a day of veggies and fruits but with a busy life how do you fit it all in? Our solution…. WHOLE FOOD SMOOTHIES! Simply blend away and voila, you can easily get your daily target!

A recent study done by The International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism tested the degree that the metabolism was elevated after exercise with a group of individuals that didn’t eat breakfast and a group that did. They tested how many calories were burned, 12 and 24 hours after the aerobic workout. The results showed that the amount the metabolism was elevated after the workout was much greater both 12 and 24 hours after for the group that did eat breakfast. As well, the group that ate breakfast resulted in much more fat being used for energy rather than carbohydrates. To sum it up, pre-workout breakfast has a long-term value for fat loss. By eating breakfast, more fat will be burned during the work, and the metabolism will be elevated to a much greater degree up to 24 hours post workout.

News - The Gloucester Fair is changing its name and its dates. The fair’s board of directors announced the date change in February, moving from four days in May to 10 days in late August. Because the board was attempting to reflect the more regional nature of the fair, they held a contest to find a new name. The winner was Kenny Duplessis, from North Bay, Ont. “We had more than 500 entries,” Bloom said. “And we ended up learning some things.” One of the suggestions was Silly Billy, a nod to Prince William Frederick, the Duke of Gloucester and Edinburgh. Fair President Maurice Lafortune said The Capital Fair was the most welcoming title. “With our massive midway, great kids program and exciting adult programming we are so looking forward to 10 days of wall to wall fun,” Lafortune said. Bloom said the midway is twice the size of previous years, with a lot more adult rides. There are also plans for an extra monster truck show, a horse pull, western barrel races, a craft show and a whole pet area. “We really want to highlight the agriculture nature of the fair, because of the new timing,” Bloom said, adding there will be more surprises to come before opening day. Originally started as an offshoot of the City of Gloucester’s parks and recreation department, the fair started in the

The Gloucester Fair will change its name to The Capital Fair, to reflect the more regional nature of the fair – set to kick off at the Rideau Carleton Raceway on Aug. 15. parking lot of the Earl Armstrong Arena on Ogilvie Road, nearly three decades ago. The fair board is a working one and Lafortune said members can be found throughout the fairgrounds driving fence spikes into the ground or pitching in wherever else they’re needed. It was moved to the Rideau Carleton Raceway in 1997 largely because it had outgrown its home.

guest!

Bloom said the board began to consider taking over the late-August dates a few years ago when the Super Ex was suspended in 2011. “We are not looking to take over for the Ex,” Bloom said. Bloom said the Gloucester fair will still maintain its smaller, regional fair feel, despite the extended timelines and addition of more rides and attractions.

No such thing as family pet on a farm MARY COOK I t was a wet and long spring that year. And the winter coldness was yet to fade away to warmer days, leaving a chill in the air that seemed to penetrate our very bones. But it was lambing time, and the joy of welcoming those tiny little bodies of wool out on the farm in Northcote, took away the greyness of the season, and filled my heart with unspeakable joy. Although I never wanted to see the actual births, it wasn’t long after the deliveries that I was in the barn, leaning on the board rail of the lambing pen, watching the mothers nudge their babies, who with wobbly legs were trying, to

There would be wool and meat to market, easing the constant worries of survival when poverty was all around us

find firm footing. That year Father was pleased with the number of lambs born in the barn, and with two or three ewes yet to give birth, everything pointed to a bit of relief from the

two tiny bodies emerged, but alas, one was as black as ink. Father who prided himself on the white wool he took to market, shook his head, and then said, “Don’t think it’s going to make it

anyway... it’s just a little runt of a thing, I doubt if it will see the end of the day.� At that very moment I claimed the little black lamb for my very own. I called it Lambie most of the time, but sometimes, called it Blackie. I asked Father if I could look after it, and from then on, the little lamb and I were inseparable. I fed it milk from a little bottle belonging to one of my dolls, and to my utter joy, not only did it survive that day, and the night, but began to show signs of growing into a healthy and sturdy sheep. I was too young to know that you didn’t raise domestic animals on the farm as pets. They would eventually end up at the market, or in the smoke house. Or, more than likely, I just put the thought out of my mind. Lambie and I would grow old together. And it grew, and only when I was at school or in the house, or in bed,

were we apart. It followed me around the barn yard, and while it was still tiny, I carried it in my arms as if it were a little puppy. And I watched in wonder, as Lambie grew. I even hated to go off to school and leave Lambie behind. My brother Emerson thought it was pure nonsense to have a lamb as a pet. “It’s not a lamb anymore,� he said. “It’s a full grown sheep.� As if that made a whit of difference about how I felt about Lambie. It would always be a baby sheep as far as I was concerned. I remember the day everything changed. It was a cold and wet late spring day. I wondered if summer would ever come. We had to wear our rubber rain coats and rubber boots and carry our shoes with our books and lunch to the Northcote school. As we neared the house after school, I could see that Mother even had the lamps lit, and for once I didn’t go to the barn, but stayed in the cozy kitchen. And then it was suppertime, and I still hadn’t gone to the barn to

check on Lambie, sure that it would be as warm as toast on a mound of hay with all the other sheep. Our supper was ample as usual, and just as I was tucking into my bowl of apple crisp, Emerson, who had been unusually quiet all through the meal, asked me if I enjoyed my meal. Which was unusual for Emerson, because he was usually only interested in his own stomach. I assured him I did. “Well, you just ate Lambie� he said. I looked around the table. No one raised their eyes. Mother busied herself at the stove, and Father reached over and patted my hand, and told me again that we couldn’t raise farm animals as pets. Nausea swept over me like a cold wet blanket, and I ran to the privy like someone possessed. My stomach ached from being so sick and I thought I may not survive. Could anyone die from a broken heart, I wondered? The feeling of utter sadness and helplessness stayed with me long after that fateful night had passed. It was the night I vowed never again in my lifetime would I ever eat a mouthful of lamb.

Pineview Community Association hosts first official meeting Board members, volunteers wanted Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - For the first time in more than 20 years, the Pineview Community Association will hold a general meeting, which will take place at John Paul II Elementary School on April 28, starting at 7 p.m. Pineview residents Lynn Lau and Heather Scott, who have been organizing the event, first met at the Canadian Aviation and Space Museum. The two moms discovered they both lived in Pineview and their conversation soon turned to their community. Both said they felt the neighbourhood lacked community-focused events and activities.

Lau said the presence of a community association would help improve that and make residents come together. “I think it’s a really nice thing to have in a community,” Lau said. Both moms said they would like to see local play groups or classes offered, perhaps initiated by the association. Currently, the two have frequented other communities to fill the gap, including attending playgroups in Blackburn Hamlet and going to the Gloucester North Branch library -- a 45 minute walk from their home. “We just want to have something close that we can walk,” Scott said. The result was the two of them launching the Pineview Community Association in the living room of one of their homes. Now the two are looking to make it official and hold a meeting to both gain local interest

and board members for the association to officially take off. The meeting will be a chance for the association to fill out, Lau said. “We are looking for other board members: secretary, treasurer, and directors,” Lau said. The agenda is still being finalized, but the goals for the evening will be to vote on board positions and ratify the board’s constitution. A draft of the association’s constitution is available: https://docs.com/1279Q. The results of a survey Lau and Scott created and posted in February will also be revealed. Lau said there is still time for residents to complete the survey: surveymonkey.com/ s/577B535. The evening will wrap up by 9 p.m. Lau said.

Library checking out streaming online videos Netflix-like service on the horizon Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Streaming online video could be the next thing offered by the public library. Library staff is currently researching the option of adding streaming video, like what’s available on YouTube or Netflix, to the library’s digital holdings. It would make thousands of videos, films and music albums available to anyone with an Ottawa Public Library card and a computer, smart phone or tablet device. It’s a service that’s picking up steam in the library world thanks to companies like Hoopla Indieflix and OverDrive, said Craig Ginther, manager of technology services for the library. The Toronto Public library added Hoopla’s streaming collection to its catalogue in early April, making 10,000 films and 250,000 music albums available to its users. In Toronto, library users are limited to five Hoopla loans per month. About 130 North American cities offer the streaming service, including libraries in Hamilton, Guelph, Edmonton and Victoria. The possibility of streaming videos was just one of the technology

initiatives Ginther highlighted in his update to the library board on April 14. The library is continuously expanding its digital offerings, including the quiet launch of a French-language e-book section within the last two weeks, Ginther said. The library is hoping to better integrate its digital offerings to make it easier for library users to find what they’re looking for. Instead of having separate digital catalogues for printed books, English e-books and French e-books, the library will use APIs (application programming interfaces) to link those overlapping systems so they can be managed and viewed as one catalogue. In the next two months, library users will also start to see user recommendations added to the online catalogue at biblioottawalibrary.ca. The recommendations will be powered through Bookish, an online, usergenerated recommendation engine. Ginther said he’s also keeping his eye on how devices like Apple’s iBeacon transmitter might be used to push messages directly to the cell phones of library users when they’re in a branch. The technology, which Ginther said is not currently used in libraries, could also be used to track which library branches and services users take advantage of. The issue of privacy and security for customers will be the top concern if Ottawa’s public library ever decides to investigate the possibility of using indoor

Eyeglasses might not be the right diagnosis

Connected to your community

(NC)—John Burke says he’s a perfect example of assuming all was well with his health when, in fact, it wasn’t. In the 1970s, Burke was reading and distributing mail as a government worker when he noticed a slight change in his vision. Upon visiting his local Doctor of Optometry,

Burke, at the age of 44, received a surprise diagnosis. “I went into my optometrist’s ofďŹ ce thinking I just needed a pair of glasses,â€? he says. But a pressure reading, which is part of a regular eye examination, indicated he was already living with glaucoma, an incurable eye condition that, if left untreated, can re-

sult in blindness. “There were no symptoms, no warning signs. I had glaucoma and didn’t even realize it,� he recalled. Unfortunately, Burke’s story is all too familiar. It is estimated that one in seven Canadians will develop a serious eye disease in their lifetime – and many of those diseases

have no symptoms, so they can only be detected through a comprehensive eye exam. Following his diagnosis, Burke says he immediately began treatment for his glaucoma through daily drops and later, eye surgery that helped relieve pressure. Now 86-years-old, he credits that initial eye exam and his early

diagnosis for slowing the progression of his vision loss. Burke says his message is simple: for Canadians to get an eye exam from their Doctor of Optometry, even when their vision doesn’t appear to be compromised. “Your eyes are for life, so don’t take your vision health for granted,� he said.

Manotick residents provide input for long-term plan Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Manotick Village Community Association president Klaus Beltzner said 150 residents turned out on April 12 to have their say about planning for the village’s future. The city hosted a workshop with planners to talk about water main work and the repaving of Long Island Road, density and heights. Beltzner said noticeably missing from the talks from a plan to deal with transportation issues like cut-through traffic on Bridge Street. “Regional roads should fit into the planning,� he said. But Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffat said there are plenty of ways to look at traffic issues, and only a limited number of ways to deal with land use. “We had staff there to talk about the Greenbank alignment study happening and the roundabout at First Line and Bankfield (Road),� Moffat said. “Transportation has to be revised and citywide truck routes have to be revisited, but those are different

studies.� The village’s secondary plan review was supposed to take place in 2012 as part of a citywide village policy review, but when city staff got into the consultation process they realized more work was needed than time allowed. Moffat said the village’s plan was developed in 1997 and briefly updated in 2001, but more work needs to be done. He said the village has been changing for a long time, and residents need to get ahead of potential development in the area so there’s a plan in place. “Manotick has had an incredible amount of growth,� he said. “It went from 350 people in the ’50s to 5,000 today.� Moffat said he knows residents don’t want to see the village expand, but they need to plan for density changes. “Obviously we want to maintain the village core,� he said. Beltzner said the public consult was a good news story. He worked with Donna Smith, head of the Manotick Business Improvement Area,

walked around the core, asking business owners to come out and participate. He said the secondary plan was the big ticket item, but residents were also interested in hearing about the proposed routes for the water main work. “Local improvements may make it possible for water and sewer connections,� he said. City planner Rose Kung said feedback from the public will be used to confirm the recommended water main work and the environmental assessment report with the preferred solution being presented to council this year. Moffat said repaving work was supposed to begin on Long Island Road last year, but he held off the project to put it in line with the water main replacement. He’s hoping the work will get started in 2015. “The water main wasn’t scheduled until 2016, but I don’t know how much longer Long Island will hold out,� he said. The Manotick secondary plan will continue to see public comment, with two more consultations to come.

Moffat said residents can comment on the secondary plan at ottawa.ca/manotick-
