News – An Ottawa man is in custody following an extensive police investigation into five bank robberies that plagued the south end of the city in January.

An Ottawa patrol officer arrested a male suspect on Jan. 16 for the previous crime of stealing prescription drugs and cash from a pharmacy at Conroy Road and Lorry Greenwood Drive on Dec. 28, 2013. While waiting behind bars to face a charge of breaking and entering in con-

nection with the pharmacy crime, robbery unit investigators built their case against the man, whom they allege robbed five different Ottawa banks, from Jan. 2 to 13. “This was a higher priority (case) at the time given the number of banks that we had,� said Staff. Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, head of the Ottawa police robbery unit. See OTTAWA, page 2

Ottawa man charged with nine counts of robbery Continued from page 1

“Once he was arrested … we were able to spend some time working on the investigation, and it took a little time again for it all to come together and for us to get the evidence together. “But it all worked out.” Police are remaining tight-lipped about how they were able to connect the pharmacy robbery suspect to the bank robberies because the case is now before the court. Investigators say the suspect robbed the first bank in the 1400block of Prince of Wales Drive on Jan. 2 at 5:05 p.m. The man, who allegedly used a handgun, made off with an undisclosed amount of cash. The next day at 5:45 p.m. the suspect also allegedly used a handgun when he stole cash from a bank in the 1100-block of Bank Street. Not long after, the suspect’s coat was found along Rideau River Drive, police say. Another bank, in the 1500-block of Bank Street, was hit on Jan. 6 at 2:30 p.m. and an undisclosed amount of money was taken. The suspect is said to have run into the Blue Heron Mall parking lot and that a vehicle could have been waiting for him, the reason why officers

haven’t ruled out the possibility of an accomplice. “But at this point we haven’t made any other arrests and we don’t have any leads on who that second person may be, if, in fact, there is a second person involved,” Haarbosch said. Investigators suspect a vehicle may also have been waiting for the suspect after a bank in the 700-block of Ridgewood Avenue was pinched on Jan. 9 at 3:45 p.m. A handgun was used during this crime. A fifth bank, in the 2400-block of Bank Street, was targeted on Jan. 13 at 4:45 p.m. This time, however, the culprit fled empty handed. None of the stolen money has been recovered and Haarbosch said it is unlikely it ever will be. A 37-year-old Ottawa man was charged April 21 with nine counts of robbery, five counts of wearing a disguise, four counts of using a firearm wile committing an offence, five counts of pointing a firearm, four counts of possessing a weapon and four counts of possession of a firearm despite a previous prohibition order. Anyone with information about these crimes is urged to contact the Ottawa Police robbery unit at 613236-1222 ext. 5116 or Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477.

Community - Ottawa Police know how to throw a good party. To celebrate Police Week, from May 11 to 17, the east and rural east Ottawa community police centres are hosting an afternoon community barbecue at Heatherington Park on May 14. The event, held each year in a different neighbourhood, is an ideal opportunity for the public to connect with officers in a fun atmosphere, said Const. Yolande Jaques, who is on temporary assignment as a community police officer based in Greely. “Have your say,” she said. “You get the opportunity where you’re coming from within the district and tell us what your priorities are in your community.” Police Week events, which are held every May across the province, also serve as a reminder that officers are always readily available to speak with members of the community on a number of issues that may be of particular concern, from theft and bullying to drugs, women’s safety and fraud. “I think the big thing is that if you see something in your neighbourhood, tell us because we can’t be everywhere 24/7,” Jaques said of the message she’s hoping the event will promote. The festivities also allow the public to learn

about the work that Ottawa officers do. “A lot of times they see us out there but they don’t really get the big picture. It’s good to see what our jobs entail,” Jaques explained, adding that people will also see a police dog in action, which will help residents understand that these dogs are officers, too. The barbecue will feature displays from several Ottawa police units, including canine handlers, auxiliary police, the marine, dive and trails team, traffic officers with their motorcycles, and tactical police, among others. Ottawa paramedics will also participate, and there will be child print, home safety inspection and Neighbourhood Watch exhibits.

City waters down apartment rules Backyard requirement limited to inner-urban neighbourhoods Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - The city has doubled back on its plan to require backyards for low-rise apartments across the city after developers complained about the rule. A number of representatives for builders in Ottawa told the planning committee on April 23 that they weren’t in the loop about proposed broad changes that would have added a new requirement for green space behind apartments up to four storeys. The rule was tacked on to a bylaw change eliminating special zoning exemptions for homes converted into multi-unit dwellings. The city kicked off the study after hearing complaints about “de facto rooming housesâ€? in neighbourhoods near universities or in colleges, like Sandy Hill. The developers said they were under the impression that any change to the rules would only affect the inner-urban wards that reported problems arising from the conversion of homes, which is what led to a freeze on converted dwellings and the study. “This report deviates signiďŹ cantly from where we started in 2012. It now includes lowrise apartments,â€? said Ursula Melinz, a lawyer representing a group of developers including Minto, told the planning committee on March 12. “It has a larger impact than originally thought.â€? In response, city planners agreed to limit the backyard requirement to wards 12, 13, 14, 15 and 17, in the city’s core. Planned-unit developments, the term given to a large lot with several residential buildings

ottawa

on it, are also exempt from the backyard requirement. “What you have before you today is a direct reection of the feedback you heard,â€? Lee Ann Snedden, the city’s manager of policy development and urban design, told city council. The modiďŹ cations help make the bylaw more appropriate, she said. City council also agreed with city planners’ suggestion to only allow “tandemâ€? parking – where two vehicles can park one behind the other in a driveway – in the same inner-urban wards, instead of across the city. Council also voted to give developers not affected by the converted-dwellings freeze more time to get their planned projects into the city before the changes take effect. The builders would still have had to get their rezoning, site plan, committee of adjustment of now-extinct cash-in-lieu of parking applications in before March 20. But the city will now grandfather in applications already in the works, as long as the builders get a building permit application into the city before April 23, 2016. That captures about 30 or 40 development applications currently in the process, according to the city staff report. The transition period doesn’t apply to Sandy Hill, Old Ottawa South or the Glebe, where an interim control bylaw was used to freeze converted dwelling applications for the past year. City planners didn’t accede to all the suggestions made by developers or residents after the planning committee’s meeting. Discarded ideas included: eliminating the requirement for a yard “amenity areaâ€? or allowing it to be located above grade, such as a rooftop patio; loosening landscape requirements; allowing more applications to be submitted in an extended transition period; exempting certain properties from the rules; and extending the interim control bylaw until the city can deal with the second phase of its updated inďŹ ll rules, which are intended to address the size of homes within the Greenbelt.

Missing man’s body found at Hog’s Back Ottawa police and firefighters were working to recover a body spotted at Hog’s Back falls in the afternoon of Thursday, April 24. The deceased was later identified as John Davies, an amateur photographer who was last seen on April 3. No foul play is suspected, police said. Two amateur photographers and birdwatchers who were taking photos nearby around 2 p.m. when the body was discovered said a woman with binoculars who appeared to be with the police spotted something around 2 p.m. and police began to descend on the park shortly afterwards. The women, Suzanne St-Jean and Diane Kelly, said they are careful to take extra precautions when leaning over the escarpment to snap photos – especially near the water, which is mesmerizing to watch.

What is the 2014 Zoning Review all about? Over 30 Zoning Reviews will take place throughout Ottawa in 2014. Why? In 2013, City Council approved new Official Plan policies to create a more liveable Ottawa. To put these policies into action, the Zoning By-law needs to be updated. The 2014 Zoning Review will make that happen. How? Zoning affects how land can be used on both public and private properties. Things like types of housing, shops, schools, industries, as well as building heights and building densities. The right zoning will make sure our streets and neighbourhoods develop in ways that encourage vibrant, liveable places for all to enjoy

How will this affect me? Zoning changes will provide greater certainty for residents, developers, businesses and others, about what to expect when it comes to future development in the review areas.

The living will: before you hit your sell-by date

T

he other day, some friends in the neighbourhood, now in their mid-sixties, informed us they would be putting their house up for sale. “Sorry to disappoint you,” she said. “But if we wait until we’re 70, we’ll be past our sell-by date.” It was a cute play on words. But it got me wondering about my own relatives in the same age group, who have never raised the issue of downsizing or moving to a more seniorfriendly establishment. Our neighbours are in excellent health, to be sure. They are expecting their first grandchildren. They have a Florida condo and a cottage and their current house is lovely and centrally located. But they’re smart. They know that the stairs may at some point become a

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse burden, along with the maintenance of their current freehold property – from roofing and plumbing repairs, to snow removal and gardening. These are things they’ve chosen not to worry about as they age, thus the decision to sell while they are still able-bodied and able-minded enough to make decisions about where they want to live. I wish my own relatives could be so practical.

But this is not an easy subject to broach with seniors. For one thing, no one likes to be told what to do. For another, few people like to think about the potential of becoming disabled, less self-sufficient or widowed. The latter is most concerning In the last few years, I’ve known three elderly couples where one spouse had health or disability issues and the

other acted in the role of caretaker. People tend to assume the one in poor health will pass away first, but in all three cases it was the caretaker who died. This left the family in a crisis situation. Not only did they have to think about downsizing and relocating the widowed parent – but they also had to rapidly reorganize their lives to find a caregiver replacement. Conversations about aging in place, relocation and potential retirement residences need to be brought out of the shadows before they become necessary. As part of the sandwich generation, I’ve seen many families wait for a crisis to take action on senior relocation and downsizing. It leads to critical decisions made under stress, which not only limits their choices, but also

“That was way to easy!”

has lead to decisions that they later came to regret when life settled back to a normal pace. How does one go about broaching the subject of seniors’ intentions?

How does one go about broaching the subject of seniors’ intentions? There’s no point acting forceful or overly opinionated, which may just get people’s backs up. But you can start by asking some of the big questions gently: Have you thought about how long you’ll live in your current house? Is it still financially viable if you eventually have to outsource all maintenance?

Over time, you may want to broaden the questions to get them thinking about life if one person in the couple becomes disabled or dies and how practical the house would be at that time. What if they can no longer drive or need help with meals? Are these things possible in their current location? What are their expectations of their relatives? Do they anticipate they will need their relatives to care for them or live with them? Or have they sourced other possibilities of care – home care or residential care – if they need it? Many people take the time early on to contemplate their lives after death by creating a will. It’s time to start taking the idea of a living will more seriously, ideally before anyone reaches their “sell-by dates.”

Internet now a necessity

M

any of us have the Internet in our pocket; an instant connection to news, email and, during an emergency, information that can even save lives. For others, the Internet is a distant concept. And not just in Third World countries – here in Ottawa too. The cost of an Internet connection is more than some people can afford, despite the fact that highspeed connections are literally at their front door. Information is power, as well as a key element of a modern education. Without a decent connection to the worldwide web, people who are already behind the rest of Canadian society are destined to fall further behind. The children in homes without a fast connection are destined to fall behind their peers. It seems less likely they will get a chance to excel at school and beyond, which equals a massive waste of potential. A low-income advocacy group organized a march on April 17 to draw attention to the high cost of highspeed, a price tag that puts the Information Highway out of reach for many Canadians. The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now is calling for high-speed Internet to be made available to Canadians for $10 a month. Given that the federal government regulates our telephone service, a more

affordable Internet is within reach if Parliament feels it is important. We pay taxes so that our libraries can share information with all residents. Why not a Canadian system to share the Internet with all Canadians? For this tech-savvy nation, it’s within our control to make it happen. The federal government has made rural high-speed Internet a priority, which is commendable. That doesn’t mean urban users – with high-speed connections available – should be forgotten. Internet access should be treated the same as basic phone service, with controlled rates so low-income families can get connected. Ottawa libraries provide Internet access – when they are open and if there is no lineup of other customers – but that’s not the same as having information on your kitchen table. Low-speed, dial-up connections are still available – with a phone line – but that’s not a good way to research material on today’s image-heavy websites. ACORN has the right idea. Every Canadian should have high-speed access. And if their current finances mean they can’t afford it, rates should be controlled. If Internet service providers won’t or can’t make the cost affordable, it’s up to all of us – through our federal government – to help offset costs so we’re all on an equal footing.

Free to vote. Free to not vote.

U

sually the subject of voter turnout emerges briefly after elections, when it is discovered that two out of five of us didn’t bother to go to the polls. There is a brief period of handwringing and then the political world reverts to its normal pattern of evasion, distortion and character assassination. Now thanks, if that is the word, to the Fair Elections Act, we are having the discussion at a time when it can do some good. It is a serious problem: according to the Canadian Press, just over 60 per cent of eligible voters turned out in 2011, and among voters under the age of 30 the turnout was less than 40 per cent. Provincial and municipal turnout figures are usually worse. There is no shortage of explanations. Some blame the nasty tone of our federal and provincial politics. Some blame the lack of issues of relevance to younger voters. And some blame the voting system itself. The argument goes that either it is too difficult to vote, or young voters just don’t care, or a combination of the two. The proposed solutions include asking the political parties to become more relevant. Godspeed on that one. On changes to the voting system, the one

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town we’ve been hearing for years is that Canada should adopt the compulsory vote, a system used with apparent success in other countries, such as Australia. The likelihood of being fined would bring young people out to the polls and, the argument goes, the likelihood of going to the polls would cause them to pay more attention to the issues. The counter-arguments are familiar. First, non-voters are usually non-interested and non-informed. Do we really want more people like that voting? Second, we live in a free society. For better or worse, one of our freedoms is the freedom not to vote. If we discard the compulsory option, the alternative most commonly proposed is online voting. We do everything online now,

Ottawa South News EMC - Thursday, May 1, 2014

the argument goes, so why not voting? Young people are more likely to vote if they can do so online. The argument is made forcefully by comedian Rick Mercer in one of his CBC rants, quoted in the Huffington Post: “The government has a responsibility to make voting available wherever Canadians live. And yes, all Canadians reside in a riding but young Canadians, they live online. If we let them pay taxes there, let them vote there.� A couple of counter-arguments can be made. One comes from Ottawa Coun. Rick Chiarelli, quoted by CFRA, who used the example of the Heartbleed bug to point up the possible lack of security of online voting. “It’s always open to failure because the battle between security and hacking is a seesaw battle and it goes on like that,� Chiarelli said, and it is hard not to agree. The amount of attempted tampering in the last election indicates that any online voting system adopted will become a target, by those attempting to bias the result or perhaps just mess things up for fun. Even if online voting could be guaranteed to be secure, there would be still be reservations. It could be argued that putting voting online trivializes it, by putting it in the same

category as downloading a song. It should be thought of as a more serious matter than that. One way of observing that seriousness is to rise from your chair, put your shoes on and go out the door. Voting may or may not be a duty, but it is certainly a privilege. Polling places are almost always within walking distance. Many people are allowed time off from work to vote. Rides to and from are available. To treat the act of voting as some kind of hardship is a distortion of reality. If it’s a hardship to vote, millions of people around the world would like some.

Ottawa South News EMC - Thursday, May 1, 2014

Walking the Talk According to the 2011 National Household Survey, 68% of Ottawa residents drive a vehicle to work. Every day, people use vehicles to get to work, school, run errands, visit friends, and to take children to recreational activities. Although vehicles can be a quick form of transportation, did you know that in urban areas, walking for a distance of 500 meters or less is usually faster than using the car – and it is free and good for you. Car-centered living robs us of the chance to include physical activity into our daily lives. Every year, each Canadian makes an average of 2,000 car trips of less than three kilometers. Imagine how much healthier we would be if these short trips were replaced with an active mode of transportation, such as walking or cycling! May is Physical Activity Month and throughout the month, Ottawa Public Health is challenging residents to get active every day. A simple way is to walk if you are headed somewhere

that is 2 km or less. A 2 km walk is equal to thirty minutes of physical activity. If you do this 5 times per week, you will meet the 150 minutes of activity recommended for adults Using active forms of transportation not only improves our health, it can also help reduce vehicle emissions which have negative environmental and health effects.

Please join us for the Ottawa Walking Day Celebration on Tuesday May 13, 2014 from 9:30 a.m. - 10:45 a.m. at Ottawa City Hall located at 110 Laurier Avenue West. Bicycle parking is always free! There will be opportunities for networking, to listen to motivational speakers and to participate in guided walks along the canal. Register today! OttawaWalkingDay.Eventbrite.ca or for more information call: 613-580-6744 ext. 23514.

Ottawa Hospitals Keeping it Fresh Have you recently been to an Ottawa area hospital? Maybe you were a patient, visiting someone or even going in to work your shift? You may have noticed that the air you are breathing feels a little fresher! As members of the Smoke-Free Hospital Workgroup, local hospitals, including the Ottawa Hospital, The Queensway Carleton Hospital, the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, The Royal, Hôpital Montfort, CHEO and Ottawa Public Health are partnering to support patients, visitors and staff who smoke. Each hospital campus has supports in place to help patients and staff quit smoking or curb their cravings. Patients, staff and visitors can take advantage of various services offered such as one-on-one

counselling, group support, workshops and access to quit smoking medications. Recently, the hospitals partnered up to support their staff by offering the Fresh Air Challenge to those who want to quit smoking, help a co-worker quit or who simply want to remain smokefree. Nearly 250 hospital employees across all local hospitals participated in the challenge. Whether you are curious and want to know more about the hospital’s policy, what services could benefit you, or where to go if you choose to smoke, the Smoke-Free Hospital Workgroup has answers to your questions. Visit Smokefree-Sansfumee.ca to learn more… because we all breathe the same air. Let’s keep it Fresh Ottawa! Follow us on Twitter @OttawaHealth

Developers keen on pairing suburban parks with schools Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Developers say the city isn’t really reaching its intensification goals in the suburbs, even if homes seem more densely packed. While houses might be crammed closer together, it doesn’t mean space in the entire community is well-used, said Frank Cairo of Caivan Communities, one of the developers that participated in a forum discussion on how to build better suburbs on April 24. The unique event brought together a group of five developers and city councillors in a panel format to air concerns and ideas about how to make suburban development work better. A good 70 per cent of Ottawa’s “urban� residents live in the suburbs, said Alain Miguelez, the city’s program manager of intensification and zoning, and tremendous growth in the suburbs is highlighting the need to fix up how communities outside the Greenbelt are designed. Half the land in a new suburban community is written

aside for all those elements, said Pierre Dufresne, president of the Greater Ottawa Home Builders’ Association and vice president with Tartan Homes, who also participated in the discussion. “When we take a piece of land and more than 50 per cent of it is provided for other interests before the first house is built, it limits our ability to meet the intensification policies in the (city’s) Official Plan to the extent we otherwise could.� Nitty-gritty topics like where to place hydro boxes on lawns and how wide roads should be are some of the topics that will help the city drill down to create better LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND standards for the elements it Frank Cairo of Caivan Communities draws a diagram show- requires when new suburban ing how the city’s need for more public space for roads and communities are built. utilities constrain suburban lot sizes in order to meet the The planning committee city’s intensification goals. will receive a report on “guiding principles� for the Buildoff before developers begin holders and how they can use ing Better Suburbs project at laying out where the homes their land more efficiently.� its meeting on May 13. go, said Rob Pierce, land deInfighting and “turf wars� The overall project has been velopment director for Mon- between utility agencies and extended into the fall – it was arch. other players vying for land supposed to wrap up before the “It makes it hard to hit those in the suburbs, such as schools summer – and a final report is intensification targets,� he and the city’s parks depart- expected in November.

view and comment on the suggested changes before they go to the planning committee for final approval, said Lee Anne Snedden, the city’s manager of policy development and urban design. Initial public consultations happened last fall. Developers are happy to be involved in the process because in the case of building new communities, they serve as the main voice for consumers and future residents, Cairo said. COMBINING PARKS AND SCHOOLS

One of the big topics developers are looking forward to is the city’s new willingness to pair parks with school sites. The major example of that is the city’s insistence that parks be separated from school sites. A recent example saw the city require a fence to be built between a park and the neighbouring school yard in the Avalon development in Cumberland, said Coun. Stephen Blais. Parents shouldn’t have to sign waivers for their kids to cross from a schoolyard into

a city park, said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. Discussion at the forum indicated the city is now more willing to look at things like joining city parks with schoolyards. Dufresne also suggested looking at putting stormwater management ponds in parks as a natural feature, instead of finding other additional space for the ponds. That would be a throwback to the way it used to work before amalgamation, and developers welcome that, he said. The old city halls were smaller and developers could work more directly with city staff across the different departments, he said. “There are barriers between us now to be able to resolve these issues,� Dufresne said. Integration between all the players involved in constructing new communities is key moving forward, said a number of councillors and developers involved in the discussion. “Everyone needs to be going in the same direction,� said Jack Stirling of Minto. “We need a team approach to dealing with land constraints,� Cairo added.

Alive to Strive Top: Runners head out from the starting line at Hog’s Back Park during the annual Alive to Strive Race on April 27. Organizers expected a record-breaking 880 participants during the morning races, some of whom came from as far away as the United States and British Columbia. This year, the annual event raised $25,000, which will support people living with chronic kidney disease.

O-Train Evening Service Adjustments Begin Today Starting Thursday, May 1, and continuing throughout the summer, evening service on the O-Train will be adjusted to end at 10 PM in order to complete construction work necessary for the O-Train expansion project. To minimize customer impact, the work is being performed during the night when ridership is lowest. Additionally, the work is scheduled to begin after the completion of Carleton University’s spring semester, which means fewer students will be riding the O-Train. For more information, please visit octranspo.com or call 613-741-4390.

LED Lights Coming to Carling Avenue The City of Ottawa launched a new streetlighting Pilot Project, which will see the conversion of 700 traditional streetlight fixtures to efficient LED technology fixtures. The conversion will take place on Carling Avenue between Bronson Avenue and March Road. The project is expected to reduce energy consumption by 55 per cent per fixture and reduce current maintenance costs by $1.6 million. I will continue to keep you posted on this exciting project.

Your Strong Voice at City Hall As always, I appreciate hearing from you and encourage you to keep in touch with me as it allows me to serve you better. It is an honour and a privilege being your strong voice at City Hall.

2014 Fire Hydrant Testing Program I would like to advise residents that routine maintenance of fire hydrants will be taking place to ensure they meet all of the requirements and expectations of Fire Services. Testing will include opening the hydrants fully and discharging water at a high flow rate. These measures can cause a temporary reduction in water pressure and the dislodging of sediment which occasionally results in brown or rust-coloured water. It is important to remember that while this rust does not pose a health risk, it is not recommended that you drink or use discoloured water to wash laundry. Residents in affected areas will receive written notice from the City prior to testing. For more information you can visit Ottawa.ca/firehydrants or call the Water Information Line at 613-560-6089. Students asked to raise awareness on essential role of drinking water The City of Ottawa has launched a call for posters that will aim to increase awareness about drinking water and the significance of water in our community. Ottawa students in grades three, four and five are invited to create posters on the theme “Water is Life,” to illustrate the importance of water as a resource that we rely on daily. Eligible schools can each submit one poster and schools should ensure that the school name and contact information appears on the reverse of the poster. Posters can be delivered to any Client Service Centre before May 30, 2014. Participating schools will also be entered in a draw to send two student delegates and one teacher to a lunch at City Hall, hosted by Mayor Watson, their ward Councillor and the Chair of the City’s Environment Committee. Six schools will be selected. All submissions will be displayed at City Hall and on Ottawa. ca as part of the City’s Water Roundtable, which will be held on Saturday, June 14, 2014. 2014 Community Cup The 10th annual Community Cup, hosted by the Catholic Centre for Immigrants, will be held in Ottawa on June 28th in Brewer Park. The Community Cup is a not-for-profit soccer event aimed at helping new immigrants become active and feel a sense of belonging in the community. Each Ottawa City Councillor has been asked to put together a team and I am looking for residents of Gloucester-Southgate Ward who are interested in playing. If this is something you would like to participate please contact my office by emailing diane.deans@ottawa.ca.

News - Ottawa officially became the third city in Canada to open a “makerspace” on April 23. The small-scale fabrication facility features tools like a 3D scanner, 3D printers and a laser cutter available for the public to use. It’s an idea that’s taking off in the United States and the American government helped bring the concept here to Ottawa. Equipment in the space, which also includes video equipment, software and a green screen, was purchased by the U.S. Embassy. It’s part of the embassy’s American Corners program, which aims to make information about the States and its culture available in other countries. There are a total of 850 American Corners in 169 countries. “This is a trend we see more and more,” said Judith Bryan, public affairs officer at the U.S. Embassy. Some of the American Corners in Russia, where the program began 20 years ago, are now being converted into similar makerspaces, she said. The concept is to promote libraries and community spaces as places for a new type of learning – learning driven by doing something new and creating things. “It’s free to the public and it’s accessible,” Bryan said. “People can come together and figure out new things and how to do them.”

I would like to take this opportunity to extend my thanks to Melina and Marianna Kokkinos for participating in “Voices of Council” on Wednesday, April 23rd. The girls provided Council members with a beautiful rendition of the Canadian National Anthem and did a wonderful job representing Gloucester-Southgate Ward.

Materials for the 3D printer – a white plastic that can be painted – cost 30 cents per gram.

Angel hair

ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND

Old Ottawa South resident Anneka Dallin O’Grady, 10, is all smiles after Barrhaven resident Michelle Nguyen snipped off 10 inches of her hair at Hair Republic in Old Ottawa South on April 27. Nguyen, salon co-owner, says when Anneka came in looking to cut and donate her locks in February, she immediately felt inspired to do as much as she could to help children who have lost their hair from cancer treatment. The salon’s seven stylists donated their time to chop the locks of about 140 children, who either donated their hair for wigs or their parents donated the cost of their haircut for Angel Care for Kids. The organization provides wigs to children in need who have lost their hair.

GET ALL MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY INVOLVED IN YOUR CHARITABLE GIVING the perfect amount to leave children is enough “money so that they would feel they could do anything, but not so much that they could do nothing. ” One of the most challenging estate planning questions that parents have to wrestle with is how much of their estate should they leave to their children. As Warren Buffet once famously remarked,

Once parents have provided an appropriate amount of financial support to their children, they are often motivated to give back to the community. An increasing number of Canadian families are establishing family foundations in order to encourage all family members to get involved in the family’s charitable giving.

A private foundation is particularly well-suited to a family situation. Family members can be directors or trustees of the foundation and play an active role in deciding how funds will be managed and what charities will be supported by the foundation. Families find that the foundation keeps the family connected and parents can pass along their beliefs and values to children and grandchildren.

Apart from bringing the family together t Significant tax planning opportunities in order to promote charitable giving, a for the family. private family foundation has numerous Although there are costs associated with other benefits including: the establishment of a family foundation, t The ability of the family to decide on a number of financial institutions can an ongoing basis which charitable assist families with the establishment of organizations it will support; a foundation and many of the ongoing t The opportunity to create a legacy which administrative services. will continue once the parents have passed away;

In Ontario, those who are younger than 20 are covered by OHIP for a routine eye examination provided by either an optometrist or physician once every 12 months plus any follow-up assessments that may be required. Vision problems create obstacles for children to achieve their full learning potential. One in six children has a vision problem, yet most children do not get eye exams before the age of ďŹ ve. Children rarely complain of vision problems, or are even aware of them because they believe everyone sees the world like they do. Children with poor vision often ďŹ nd it difďŹ cult to focus on their work and may be misdiagnosed as having a learning or behavioural disability. Regular eye examinations can also identify health problems and conditions that may be treated successfully only if they are found early in a child’s life. Since vision plays such an essential part in a child’s ability to learn, excellent sight and eye health are critical their development.

Alta Vista resident Jim Nuyens is currently living on $1.75 a day to help raise awareness and funds for people living under the poverty line.

Residents dine on $1.75 to raise awareness Funds to help people living below the poverty line Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Imagine only having $1.75 a day to feed yourself. That is how much people who are living below the poverty line in Ottawa and around the world must face everyday -- regardless how hungry they

may be. In an effort to raise awareness, from April 28 to May 2 a group of Ottawa residents, including Alta Vista resident Jim Nuyens are currently taking on a challenge to live below the poverty line. For ďŹ ve days, they will have to plan, prepare and ďŹ ll themselves up on less

than a twoonie. “The Live Below the Line Challenge is an opportunity for me to get people thinking about international development,â€? Nuyens said. Celebrating its second year, the event is organized by Results Canada. The national grassroots organization runs programs and events in an effort to end extreme poverty through citizen engagement. For this week’s campaign, Nuyens will be joined by thousands of people across the country including 90 other Ottawans. According to Results Canada, 1.2 billion people are living below the poverty line, struggling to meet their daily needs on less than $1.75 a day. For support, Nuyens and his team of eight other individuals will lean on each other for support as well as to spread their money a little further by sharing a bag of potatoes or onions to make the $8.75 they each have to spend for the ďŹ ve days

to go a little further. This week’s experience, Nuyens said he hopes can help make a change in reducing the number of people who live below the line. “I see this event as the same thing of people who do runs or walk-a-thons, but it’s about raising the awareness,â€? he said. Ottawa South News spoke with Nuyens before the campaign began, and instead of dreading the week, he was looking forward to it. “You need to prepare, but I think it’s going to go really well,â€? he said. “This is the best way to fundraise and raise awareness.â€? Last year, Nuyens said time went by easily because of the team support, which included a team lunch mid-week. Nuyens would like to raise at least $100 for the campaign, because he said, anything can help make a difference. To donate or to ďŹ nd out more information visit results-resultats.ca.

Arts Court appeal quashed by the OMB City can move ahead with $34-million redevelopment plan Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - The city’s ambitious Arts Court redevelopment can proceed after the Ontario Municipal Board overturned a challenge to the $34-million project. The board overturned an appeal to the development at 60-70 Waller St. on the grounds that it was too tall and lacked enough parking or access to amenities. The appeal was filed by Graham Gleddie, who lives nearby. In the written decision, the OMB’s Richard Makuch wrote that a cross-examination of Gleddie during the appeal only served to strengthen the city’s case. Gleddie and his supporters didn’t present any compelling evidence to make their case, other than personal anecdotes “typical of any downtown setting� about the lack of green space and parking and excessive building heights. Last August, city council approved the rezoning allowing a total height of 23 storeys, which included 17 storeys for residential, hotel or office use above a complex including a

new Ottawa Art Gallery, 225seat screening room, black box theatre and classrooms for the nearby University of Ottawa. No parking needed to be provided. The Ontario Municipal Board decision noted that Arts Court is within 600 metres of the future light-rail station at the Rideau Centre and the availability of parking at the mall and in the nearby ByWard Market. Makuch declared it was “entirely appropriate that parking be reduced/eliminated on this site to support the growth of rapid transit,� according to a summary of the decision sent by city clerk and solicitor, Rick O’Connor. Last fall, Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury said he and some of the arts groups that will be tenants in the facility were concerned about the lack of parking. Since Arts Court is intended to be a citywide hub for everything from the Ottawa Art Gallery to dance and media arts, patrons will come from farther afield and will need places to park, Fleury said in November. The board also sided with the city on the height of the

tower, which is part of the plan to fund the project. Selling the rights to build a tower above the city’s land is expected to raise around $4.5 million. The board was satisfied that the height of the building is was in keeping with the city’s Official Plan policies guiding future development. A tall building has been anticipated for that site in the city’s planning policy documents for some time, the decision notes. Given the configuration of the site, which includes a number of low-rise buildings with a tower in the northeast corner, the board was satisfied there would be enough distance separating the tower from potential future tall buildings in the area. The appeal also listed concern over a lack of amenities in the area, but the board accepted the city’s contention that the site is within walking distance of parks, the Rideau Centre and a number of tourist attractions. If everything goes to plan, the city expects to open the expanded Arts Court complex in 2017.

Residents asking Telus to move cellphone tower Machinski said he received a letter from Standard Land Company, which is a consultant company for Telus, but many residents wouldn’t have been informed about the potential development. “The company only has to tell people that are 120 metres from the site,” Machinski said. “Because it’s the country that means there are only two people that close to the site. But I thought people should know about it because it’s going to affect them.” The letter Machinski received from Telus on April 11 said the tower will increase network capacity and improve wireless voice and data

Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Jason Machinski, who will be neighbour to a cell tower if a communications giant gets its way, said he doesn’t want to mortgage children’s health for better cell phone reception. Telus has asked Industry Canada for permission to build an antenna at 1071 Dozois Road in South Pointe Manotick. But the site is off of Mitch Owens Road and adjacent to St. Mark High School and the Manotick Montessori School.

services for customers residing or working in Manotick. Currently there are no existing antenna system structures or buildings of sufficient height on which to locate Telus equipment,” the letter reads. “The closest existing structure is 3.1 kilometres away from the proposed tower location. Telus’ closest site is located 3.6 kilometres away. The location of these two sites does not meet the coverage objective.” But Machinski believes a nearby communications at Mitch Owens and Spratt should work. “I think they are obligated to piggyback,” he said. Chris Gerristen, a spokesperson for Telus, said there’s a significant demand for wireless coverage and capacity in the area. The chosen site meets a number of criteria - including lot size - that took a lot of planning and engineering in advance of its selection. “Towers within the city have to have low power levels, so they must be close to the residents and businesses they’ll serve,” Gerristen said. “The antenna needs to be where it’s needed.” Gerristen also said there’s a risk if the wireless capacity in any given area is overloaded. “Cell phone service is more than just a convenience, it is truly a life line for many in our cities,” he said. “Half of all phone connections in Canada are now wireless and Canadians place more than 6 million calls to 911 or emergency numbers from their mobile phones each year.” Machinski said a public meeting was to be held on April 30, after Manotick News went to press, and he hoped to see representatives from Health Canada, Industry Canada and NepeanCarleton MPP Pierre Poilievre office. Gerristen said Telus representatives at the

meeting will be open to feedback from the public. “It’s an important part of the process,” he said. “It has to fit.” The antenna would be a 35-metre monopole with a 13-square-metre equipment shelter. While Industry Canada has the power to approve the plan, they require Telus to consult with the city. Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson isn’t in favour of the proposal. “I don’t agree with where they want to place this particular tower,” he said. The northeast corner of Limebank and Mitch Owens roads, across from the Burger and Shake is vacant and would be a better spot for a cell tower in the area, Thompson said, although Industry Canada can override the municipality’s opinion. But working with the companies proposing towers has worked out for Thompson in the past. In March of 2013 he successfully convinced Rogers Communications to relocate a tower it had proposed in Greely. I’m hopeful, because there was one in Greely a year-and-a-half ago and I was able to get them together to find another location,” Thompson said, of the 70-metre tower originally proposed for 1536 Sale Barn Rd. and moved to a vacant piece of land at 6326 Bank St. Klaus Beltzner, president of the Manotick Village Community Association, said he’s been passing along the message to residents that they need to make their views known to their federal and municipal representatives. “I know cell reception can suck out here, but putting it next to two schools just doesn’t make sense,” he said. “While there has been no scientific evidence yet that cell tower radiation causes cancer, why take the risk that cancer or some other medical condition is caused ...and discovered decades from now.”

Weather, hydro interference caused rail signal woes Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - News - A “perfect storm” of weather conditions and changes in hydro wire interference combined to cause major issues with signals at six Via Rail crossings in Barrhaven this winter. Fixes are already underway and more are in the works as Via receives results from an expert analysis of what caused so many instances of the signals at Greenbank, Fallowfield, Woodroffe, Jockvale, Strandherd and the Transitway going into fail-safe mode over the past three months. Marc Beaulieu, the chief of transport and regional manager of eastern Canada for Via Rail, was one of three representatives who delivered an update on the issues to city councillors and media on April 25 at the request of Mayor Jim Watson. He said the passenger rail company has never witnessed so many incidents in such a short time in a concentrated area. Barrhaven is in a unique situation because there are so many rail crossings so close together and because there is so much train and vehicle traffic in the area. But for the most part, preliminary investigations show the causes of the problems were mundane. “It was really a matter of everything ... happening at the same time,” said Aaron Branston, vice-president

LAURA MUELLERÉMETROLAND

On April 25 Aaron Branston, vice president of engineering and maintenance for Rail Term; Steve Del Bosco, interim president and CEO of Via and Marc Beaulieu, the chief of transport and regional manager of eastern Canada for Via Rail speak to city representatives and media about a recent rash of signal malfunctions in Barrhaven. of engineering and maintenance for Rail Term, the company Via contracts to maintain the signals. One of the major problems was “extreme fluctuation” in the bed of gravel the tracks sit upon, Branston said. A major thaw in February and another in March affected the rail tracks because water accumulated in the gravel, which was also clogged with vines, causing the system to fall out of calibration. The issue prevented the tracks from conducting a complete electrical signal, setting off the flashing lights and lowering the gates. Similar issues have been plaguing the Alexandria subdivision east of

the city, but the issues have been less pronounced because it’s a less populated rural area, Branston said. Although Ottawa police ruled out any criminal activity at rail crossings, Via staff did observe a group of people around the crossing at Woodroffe, Beaulieu said. A junction box motor cover that’s normally locked because it shouldn’t get wet was found open, but the incident didn’t cause a failure because the staffer who witnessed the incident was able to close the cover. Another problem was the trains themselves. Branston said noise generated by the train’s wheels caused some signals to go off after a train

went through the crossing. To fix that, Rail Term has been changing wires, cleaning contacts and identifying weak points that can be fixed to reduce the vibrations. A shift in the hydro grid also caused problems with gates raising and lowering when no train was nearby. There are hydro lines close to crossings at both Jockvale and Strandherd, and a change in the amount of electricity carried on those lines caused interference with the signal systems. Branston said Via wasn’t altered when Hydro Ottawa diverted more power along those lines to account for a construction project at Greenbank Road. Those communication protocols are now in place, said interim president and CEO of Via, Steve Del Bosco. The frequency those signals operate on was changed, Branston said, and Via may look at adding a filter to reduce electrical interference in the future. That could be one of the recommendations in the detailed report Via will receive on April 30. A briefing for city representatives and media will be scheduled after Via gets that report. The report will include recommendations, but some changes have already been made, Del Bosco said. Amping up maintenance standards and inspection frequency will be part of that, Branston said. Via and Rail

Term currently meet CN Rail standards of checking the lights weekly and the track ballast – the supporting gravel bed – twice a week. Those inspections will increase for the six Barrhaven crossings, Branston said. Along with that, Via will be installing a system to alert staff if a signal is malfunctioning. Right now, the only way Via learns of signal malfunctions is if a member of the public or the city calls in to the emergency number listed on the rail crossing building. The company will be installing signs with larger phone numbers. Automatic recording of all signal malfunctions at the Barrhaven crossings will be enabled within a few weeks, Branston said. Modems have been installed at the six crossings and software is being developed to make that system work. Del Bosco urged residents to follow a website it created to provide information about issues at the signals: www.viarail.ca/en/about-via-rail/information-ottawa-area-residents. Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder said the “proof will be in the pudding” for her and the tens of thousands of residents in her ward who have to cross the tracks every day. “My community doesn’t have confidence that the changes have been made that ... (will prevent) this from happening again,” she said.

Epic ride on the divide

Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

News - A Queensway Carleton employee is using his adventurous spirit to raise funds for the hospital by biking one of the toughest routes in North America by himself. Philip Chen, a respiratory therapist at the hospital and adventure and bicycling enthusiast, embarked on his 4,022-kilometre trip April 27, but not before stopping by the hospital to talk a bit about his journey with fellow employees on April 24. Queensway Carleton employees and members of the hospital’s foundation wished Chen a safe trip after quizzing him on where the ride would

take him and how he could fit all of his gear and food into a handful of small bags on his bicycle. Chen, dressed in the cycling outfit he will use for the 43-day trip, explained that he will be taking the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route, starting in Antelope Wells, New Mexico. The route follows the Rocky Mountains, meaning 61,000 metres worth of climbing and descending for Chen through small, rural towns and up to B.C. “This is most definitely my longest trip,” said Chen, adding that he is pretty clear on what will be the hardest parts of the ride. The climbing, especially with the large-tread tires his bike is outfitted with, will be gruelling. Making the ride by himself will also make it harder psychologically, and then waking up every day to another exhausting challenge will be a test of will. That’s not to mention the extremes in weather, as he will be biking through areas that still have snow on the ground and then through intense heat. Then there is the wildlife to contend with.

But all those things are part of what he is looking forward to. Trips like this are “re-invigorating,” he said, having combined his love of hiking, camping and biking before in Cuba and eastern Ontario. The cause he is biking for is also a worthy one, he said. Speaking with Queensway Carleton Hospital Foundation staff while planning the ride, Chen said, “I found out that they were focusing on staff education right now, which is right in line with what I would like to raise funds for.” Chen has a goal of $1,500 which would go into a fund that hospital employees can apply for. A donation page has been set up through www.crazyguyonabike.com/thejimmyproject where Chen will also post upADAM KVETON/METROLAND dates on his trip. As a parting comment, the Queensway Carleton Hospital employee Philip Chen sits atop the bike he will ride 4,022 director of the foundation, Ju- kilometres from the Mexican border to the B.C.

Goode Run aims to beat last year’s tally Host group serves young people Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Nicole McKerracher, the executive director for the Osgoode Youth Association said she hopes this year’s Goode Run will be the biggest ever. The run, which features a two-kilometre family route, as well as a five-kilometre run and a 10-kilometre route, is the association’s biggest fundraiser. “It started three years ago,” McKerracher said. “We used to do a dinner and gala as our annual fundraiser, but Heather Roe, who is the race director, started the idea because it seemed a more appropriate

event for an organization that served young people. She and her husband are experienced marathon runners.” While there isn’t a fundraising goal for the event – set to kick off at the O-YA building on Osgoode Main Street on May 10 – McKerracher said the association aims to beat last year’s numbers. “Last year we raised $13,000 and we are already past that,” she said. But there aren’t as many participants registered as there were in past years, McKerracher said. “I blame the weather,” she said, adding she hopes to see more people sign up before the May 6 deadline. Volunteers organize the run and 100 per cent of the proceeds go back to O-YA. The annual run helps to keep O-YA’s doors open. McKerracher said it’s easier to get grant money for program-spe-

cific needs than it is to gather money for operating costs. “Ironically it’s hardest to get money to keep the door open,” she said. “So we use that money as core funding.” The shortest route – two kilometres from the O-YA building and goes south to Buckles Street and back. The five-km route goes north just past Cabin Road, turns around then south to Buckles and back. The 10-km route goes north past Doyle Road turns around, goes south to Buckles turnaround and finishes at O-YA. McKerracher said students that sign up with O-YA representatives at their schools will only pay $25 instead of the regular registration fee of $55. “We are really keen to make it affordable and get the kids out and running,” she said.

New Edinburgh celebrates spring with plant sale Michelle Nash Michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - For many residents in New Edinburgh, including New Edinburgh Plant Sale coordinator Mary Granger an annual plant sale marks the start of spring. The sale will take place Mother’s Day Weekend, May 10, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. “It’s the rite of spring,” said Granger, who has organized the event for the past 15 years. The history of the plant sale goes back to 1997, when

Granger and some parents started the event to help raise money for Crichton Public School. When the school closed in 1999, the group approached the Crichton Community Council to see if it was still worthwhile to hold the fundraiser. Since 2000, the council has held the sale in front of Stanley Park’s field house. The profits from the sale, which range from $1,000 to $2,000 a year, help fund community needs such as rink

maintenance in the winter, play structures for the park, community events and activities throughout the year. The plants, which range in colours but are all annuals, have been provided by the same local gardener, Denis Lemieux, since the sale first started. “Deni’s plants are simply the best,” Granger said. After 15 years, Granger said she never thought she would still be organizing the event, but added she also couldn’t imagine the sale not going

ahead during Mother’s Day weekend. “The biggest thing I have learned over the years is that people really look forward to it,” she said. “I know that every year I think that we have to have the plant sale. It is great to have that community event. People expect it.” Of course, Granger added, the sale would not be possible if it weren’t for the faithful volunteers who come out year after year and spend more than 12 hours selling plants to neighbours.

“We have a good base of volunteers -- over the last 15 years, we have the same people come out, including community gardening experts. It’s really great, and it’s(a) nice way to meet up and talk to your neighbours each spring.” Residents come out every year regardless of the weather to support the weather, said Granger. “We have had some dreadful Saturdays over the years, but still, people (came) out and bought their flowers,” she said.

The prices are competitive with the Byward and Parkdale Markets in an effort to keep gardeners coming back every year, said Granger. Aside from plants, the event sells anywhere from 90 to 150 hanging baskets every year. “The quality of plants is really good. The hanging pots are the best. They look great all season and we have all the usual suspects, the flowers you would be looking for in greenhouse.” The sale starts at 8 a.m. at 193 Stanley Park.

News - Everybody loves vacation time and the break from the ordinary routine. Students are no exception. However, for students, vacation time can be detrimental to learning as school breaks are often when school momentum and good habits begin to slip. “While children should have fun with their time off, they shouldn’t take a complete break from learning,” says Dr. Nick Whitehead, the CEO and founder of Oxford Learning. According to Dr. Whitehead, maintaining learning momentum over spring break is especially important. “More than any other school-year break, the spring holidays are an important time to pay special attention to maintaining habits. This is the last stretch of the school year and final report cards are not that far away.” He adds that in the scope of the school year, spring break is a critical time for students; by not taking a break from learning, students can actually make academic gains rather than losing momentum. Most students have projects, essays, assignments, or reading that can be worked on during this period. Even if due dates are weeks away, holidays are the perfect time to get a head start on schoolwork. According to Dr. Whitehead, if students do not have assigned work, it is a good idea to spend at least an hour a day engaged in activities to keep their brains in learning mode. By keeping the brain engaged over the school break—even in just an hour a day—students will stay mentally agile and motivated to learn.

Condors founders honoured by Kanata Rotary adam.kveton@metroland.com

Community - Kanata residents Jim and Shana Perkins were honoured by the Kanata Rotary club April 23 for their work founding and running a hockey club for children with disabilities. The pair were made Paul Harris Fellows at a dinner in their honour. The fellowship was described as “the highest honour the club can give,� by past president Zul Devji. The fellowship was named for the Rotary Foundation’s founder, Paul Harris. Used as a way of recognizing substantial contributions for humanitarian and educational programs, Jim and Shana Perkins were made fellows for founding a hockey club for physically and mentally disabled children. The club is available for young people ages six to 21 who want to play the game, but may not even know how to skate. The club focuses on skills development, teamwork, sportsmanship and fun, inter-squad games The pair received a standing ovation several times during

the night after hearing their story from Rotary Club of Ottawa Kanata Sunrise president John Piggott and Jim himself. Jim and Shana were inspired by a Cambridge, Ont. special needs hockey team during a trip in 2008. “Lives were actually being changed from it,� Jim said during his speech at the dinner. The couple was determined to find a similar team in Ottawa and volunteer. But, to their dismay, no such team existed. Then, they had a choice, said Jim: they could either forget all about what they saw in Cambridge, or embark on a journey to create a team themselves. Having no children with disabilities of their own, Shana and Jim had no specific reason for starting the club, but knew it would take a lot of time from their children. They convened a family meeting and got their teenage children’s blessing. Though the club began with three children in its first year in 2008, it has grown to include 100 players and three teams: in Rockland, Kanata, and a Blades team in Cambridge.

The couple had no idea their club would grow so big, said Jim, which now includes more than 50 volunteers. They are the ones that deserve the award, said Jim. “They work their hearts out,� he said, and work to make each kid feel like the most special child in the world. “It seems selfish to even be recognized at all because we’ve gotten so much from these kids and these families,� he said. While accepting the award, Jim addressed the parents who have been an integral part of the club, some of which were in attendance “We’re not real heroes,� said Jim. “Parents ... know that you are our heroes.�

Sports - Kanata’s baseball association is kicking off a new program this year to take disabled children off the bleachers and put them on the field. The Kanata Little League Baseball Association is tapping into the Challenger division program – an international program which guides associations in creating a division for kids with disabilities. The Challenger program is offered through Little League Canada and Baseball Canada, and operates just like every other little league division, except children are placed on teams based on ability rather than age. Jeff Dever, the Kanata baseball association’s vice president of house league programs, is leading the initiative. “One of the things I really love about integrating Challenger into Kanata Little League is we can say we provide programs for children, non-exclusive to ability,” said Dever. “We provide high-level, athletic opportunities for the kids that compete on the world stage, we provide house league programs for kids that just want to have fun, and then we can provide the Challenger program for all kids, regardless of their ability.” The division is open to

children with just about any disability, said Dever, whether they use a wheelchair or have a mental or cognitive disability. In most ways, the Challenger division will run just like any other. The association provides equipment, jerseys, fields and coach training for volunteers who want to get involved. Challenger players would play against other Challenger division players in their ability ranges, and the program would be delivered by volunteers. To get the program running, the association is working to get the word out to parents and those in various communities who would be interested in volunteering. “We need those people that are willing to put their heart into Challenger like they do at other levels to really make the program happen,” said Dever. So far, the league has had contact with parents in the down syndrome community who are interested in being involved in the program, but hopes that many other players, parents and volunteers will be interested.

city, as East Nepean has had the program for many years, he said. Also, the Miracle League of Ottawa is building a field in Orléans especially for children and young adults with special needs. “We are sort of on the cusp of an explosion of opportunity for Challenger kids,” he said. The Kanata association’s decision to start offering the program came from seeing players whose brothers and sisters were left watching from the bleachers due to their disability. “There was an awareness there of a population of kids that we are not providing an opportunity to, SUBMITTED though we should or we want A Challenger division player from Vancouver takes a swing while up at home plate. to,” said Dever.

So it really is dependent on the community and interest and the demand that’s out there for this program,” he said. With the program now in its 25th year, Dever said he hopes to see Kanata’s Challenger division last just as long. But overall, Dever’s hopes for the program are simple: “I want to see kids outside on the grass, in the sun having fun.”

GOOD NEWS FOR OTTAWA By Jim Watson

Years ago, when I was the head of the Canadian Tourism Commission, I often ran into former Ottawa residents who were living abroad. Without fail, one of the things that always came up when talking about the things they missed about our city was our tap water. It sounds like a strange thing to miss about a city but it really IS TRUE THAT /TTAWA HAS EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD TAP WATER In fact, in 2013, the City of Ottawa’s drinking water system received a perfect score in Drinking Water System inspections performed by the Ministry of the Environment (MOE). The MOE inspections involved up to 14 different aspects of operations including drinking water quality, water quality monitoring programs and operator certiďŹ cation. A perfect score on this inspection reects what many of us residents take for granted and what those who leave Ottawa realize quickly: Ottawa has some of the best tap water in the world.

Building Permits Up Meanwhile, new statistics show that our economy is continuing to grow and we see new opportunities for job creation in the skilled trades sector. Many think of Ottawa as entirely a government town BUT AT A TIME WHEN THE &EDERAL 'OVERNMENT IS SHRINKING its workforce, Ottawa’s population is growing and our economy is diversifying. This growth means more demand for both residential and commercial buildings across our city. In 2013 that demand pushed our housing and construction project activity to have 20% construction applications than they did in 2012. In real terms, 2013 saw the City of Ottawa receive $2.4 billion worth of construction applications versus $2 billion in 2012. These ďŹ gures show that Ottawa’s economy is moving along at a strong pace and that Ottawa is transforming itself for the better. At City Hall we recognize that growth at this level brings challenges to our city’s infrastructure and our ability to deliver services to all residents across Ottawa. But these are challenges that we work hard every day to meet. I am proud that we have built recreation centres in some of THE CITY S FASTEST GROWING NEIGHBOURHOODS AND EXTENDED our road, water and sewer networks so that every resident of Ottawa can enjoy all that our city has to offer (including great tap water) wherever they may live.

MUMS WE’RE HAVING A TEA PARTY !!!

Eating disorders in men can kill disorder as an explanation for a male’s ills. Males may also be reluctant to say that they might have something seen as a ‘girl’s problem. The harmful effects of binge-eating, purging and restricting are potentially deadly, especially when combined with rigorous exercise and substance abuse. “I was a pudgy kid who got teased,” said Dave, who prefers not to be identified. Unhappy and unable to ask for help without “feeling like a loser,” Dave said he decided to take control of his body through exercise and dieting. “I thought that being lean and buff would solve my problems,” he said. Instead, it led to increasingly arduous exercise and eating rituals which dominated his life. Unable to sustain this regimen, Dave collapsed and was later admitted to an eating disorder program. Experts report that while anorexia and bulimia are significant problems, a higher percentage of men with eating disorders tend suffer from binge eating disorder. “There is an increasing awareness and support for males with eating disorders,” said Lisa Naylor of the Manitoba Provincial Eating Disorder Prevention and Recovery Program. For individuals looking for understanding and support, she adds, “NEDIC’s national helpline is a good place to start.” More information on this topic is available online at www.nedic.ca. News Canada

EMC news - Boys and men fall pretty far down on the list of potential candidates for an eating disorder. Merryl Bear, director of NEDIC, the National Eating Disorder Information Centre, confirms that regardless of race, ethnicity or nationality, research consistently shows that women are more vulnerable than men to disordered eating behaviours or the full syndrome. However, she says, “That’s no reason to be complacent, or to ignore the needs of males, because eating disorders can kill.” Additionally, said Bear, the likelihood of complete recovery is highest when the person receives early, expert treatment at the right level of intensity. “We all – parents, educators and health professionals – need to do a better job of understanding and helping boys and men who struggle with food and weight preoccupation. These are hugely debilitating conditions which affect school, work and relationships.” The tongue-in-cheek slogan, Men with Eating Disorders: It’s not the name of a band is used by NEDIC in their public awareness campaign. Its mission is to raise the likelihood that men will recognize their malaise as an eating disorder and get help. The campaign also encourages the partner or parents of a male loved one to call for information and support if denial is a factor. Neither those close to the person, nor doctors, tend to think of an eating

Millennium Park to get $6-million boost Deal with developers will add artificial turf soccer field Laura Mueller and Brier Dodge laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Expanded recreation facilities, including an artificial field, are coming to Millennium Park years earlier than the city could have built them. The addition of three soccer fields, bathrooms, gazebos, a large splash pad, a major play structure, more parking and a semi-professional turf soccer field with bleachers is made possible because the city agreed to loan developers $6 million to get the work done. It will take two years to construct, said Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais, who co-ordinated the deal. It’s called a front-ending agreement and it’s something developers and the city have increasingly been using as a way to build park facilities faster, but the Millennium Park deal is particularly large. “What we’re deciding to put in it goes well beyond the city’s stan-

dard,â€? Blais said. “It is a place where you can host major tournament-style amateur sports, even semi-professional soccer. It’s going to be quite the show.â€? There are plans to put out a contract for a dome to cover the showcase field in the winter, Blais said. Millennium Park already exists, but approximately 11 hectares remain to be completed. The proposal makes sense for the developers, including Claridge Homes, Mattamy Homes, Minto, and Taggart, because it will help them sell homes in the area, Blais said. “This is the destination park,â€? he said. “It will be the jewel in the crown.â€? Attracting sports tournaments will also be a boon for local business, Blais said. The agreement would see builders pay back the loan through the standard development charge for parks, which is already added to the price of future homes and businesses built in OrlĂŠans and Cumberland. The key clause in the deal is that developers committed to make payments to the city every year, regardless of how many new homes have been built. If the developers go bankrupt, the city has letters of credit to secure the deal, plus some

An aerial photo shows the completed and soon-to-be developed parts of Millennium Park. cash was provided up front, Blais said. “Nothing is 100 per cent ever, but we have a huge amount of protection for taxpayers built in for this,� he said. The project led the city to pursue changes to the development charges bylaw that could see developers build

all new suburban parks. That proposal will go to the planning committee in May. CUMBERLAND SOCCER PLANS

The Cumberland United Soccer Club will also develop an area at Millennium Park. The club owns

property at 2075 Trim Rd., where it plans to build a clubhouse and indoor field, separate from the city’s plans. The club’s board submitted a proposal to the city to have the property rezoned to allow for the project. There is currently a structure on the property, but it will likely be torn down and replaced with a more functional building, said Carlos Conde, the club’s strategic planning director. Conde said the project is still in the proposal stage, and the club is leaning towards a building instead of a dome to house an indoor turf field. The indoor field would be about two-thirds of the size of a full field. Leagues and team training would still be run at the current fields at Millennium Park through the summer. Conde said the club is aware of the city’s plans to complete Millennium Park and feels there is enough demand to support a potential dome run by the city, and a separate, indoor structure run by the soccer club. “One of the restrictions we had with our membership is that we had a waitlist,� he said. “The demand doesn’t go away, it just makes it easier if we have more facilities.� R0012669653

West-end man receives recognition of bravery Governor General awards medal of bravery to Nepean native Jeff Mackey jeff.mackey@metrolnd.com

News - Some of Canada’s bravest souls gathered at Rideau Hall for official recognition from the Gov. Gen. David Johnston on April 24. The ceremony was filled with police officers, soldiers and ordinary citizens who risked everything in harrowing circumstances to save the lives of others. One such recipient of the Medal of Bravery has strong roots in Nepean. On Feb. 19, 2010 in Afghanistan, Cpl. Dale Kurdziel volunteered to dismantle a large improvised explosive device located in a small culvert. It took him nearly two hours to successful disarm the device by hand. “The IED was hidden inside of a culvert in Kandahar City,” Kurdziel said, following the convention.

“I had to crawl into the culvert; it was as wide as my shoulders and as high as my boots, so it was pretty tight.” Kurdziel is currently stationed in Gagetown N.B. but will soon move to Edmonton to rejoin his wife and son. He said he enjoyed his trip back to Ottawa, especially Nepean where he was born and where his father, grandfather and sisters still live. “It is a great honour, that’s for sure,” said Kurdziel. “It’s nice to be recognized by other people for the work that you put forward and/or for placing yourself in danger.” When asked what it was like to meet the Governor General, Kurdziel kept his answer brief and to the JEFF MACKEY/METROLAND point. “He is a pretty nice guy, Cpl.

Key!

When your body is out of balance, your cravings are about your body trying to provide stimulation for the dominant organ which is related to your body type. So what can you do? If you crave: 1. SWEETS & CARBS - your dominant body type is THRYOID Your Solution: Reduce soy and raw cruciferous veggies ( kale, cabbage, broccoli, etc. ). Increase Coconut oil, which contains lauric acid, to promote optimal thyroid function and metabolism.

2. SALT & FAT - your dominant body type is ADRENAL Your Solution: Reduce caffeine & alcohol. Increase almonds which are rich in magnesium.

3. RICH & SPICY - your

4. DAIRY - your dominant body type is PITUITARY. Your Solution: Decrease potassium rich avocado, which tends to be reduced in this body

If you are consistent, you will make progress. One way to ensure your consistency is to make simple, highly achievable goals for yourself. You must ensure that you are 90-100% confident that you can stick to the goal for 30 days. If you feel any less confident, you must modify and simplify the goal until you feel it is achievable. For instance, instead of saying “I will cut sugar completely out of my diet”, which may be unrealistic, say “I will only have sugar on the weekends.” Therefore, you are still making a healthy lifestyle change, but one that is easily attainable. Reaching a short term goal and then setting new ones is key to long term success!

Jazz up the taste of grilled lamb skewers Lifestyle - Strawberries take a twist here in a savoury glaze for lamb. They add an overall sweetness to the dish. Soak wooden skewers, if using, for at least 10 minutes. Preparation time: 15 minutes. Standing time: two hours. Cooking time: about 20 minutes. Serves six to eight. INGREDIENTS

Lamb and marinade: • 2.2 kg (5 lb) boneless leg of lamb • 50 ml (1/4 cup) vegetable oil • 50 ml (1/4 cup) minced fresh chives • 15 ml (1 tbsp) grated fresh lemon rind • 25 ml (2 tbsp (25 mL) each fresh lemon juice and maple syrup • 4 cloves garlic, minced • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) each coarse sea salt and pepper STRAWBERRY MAPLE CHIVE GLAZE:

• 15ml (1 tbsp) vegetable oil

• 1 shallot, minced • 2 cloves garlic, minced • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) each salt and pepper • 750 ml (3 cups) halved strawberries • 10 ml (2 tsp) grated fresh lemon rind • 50 ml (1/4 cup) maple syrup • 25 ml (2 tbsp) each fresh lemon juice and balsamic vinegar • 50 ml (1/4 cup) minced fresh chives PREPARATION

Trim the fat from the lamb and cut it into ďŹ ve-centimetre (two-inch) cubes. In a bowl, whisk together the oil, chives, lemon rind, lemon juice, maple syrup, garlic, salt and pepper. Pour it into a resealable plastic bag and add the lamb cubes. Seal the bag and turn the cubes inside to coat. Refrigerate and marinate the lamb for two hours. Strawberry maple chive glaze: In a saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat and add

the shallots, garlic, salt and pepper. SautĂŠ until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the strawberries, lemon rind, maple syrup and lemon juice. Using a potato masher, mash the berries to bring out the juices. Bring them to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, to combine the avours -- about 10 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and cook until thickened and syrupy, about ďŹ ve minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the chives. Set aside 175 ml (3/4 cup) of the mixture to use as a dipping sauce. Thread the lamb cubes onto skewers and place on a greased grill over medium-high heat. Brush the cubes with the remaining strawberry glaze and grill until medium-rare, about 20 minutes, turning and basting skewers occasionally with the glaze. Serve the skewers with the reserved glaze as a dipping sauce. Foodland Ontario

By mid-afternoon, about 500 people braved the drizzle at the third annual day-long event, held for the first time at Hintonburg Park. Admission was free and proceeds from beer sales went in support of Ottawa Riverkeeper, a grassroots charity that strives to protect the health of the Ottawa River. The Brewery Market, which is modeled on similar brewery events in Toronto, will return to the park on July 5 and Oct. 25, and will feature different beer vendors.

Make workplace pensions mandatory: lobbyist Continued from page 44

Some question whether people who now don’t currently contribute to an RRSP would want to contribute to a voluntary plan. At a time when traditional company pensions are rapidly disappearing, and CPP benefits are capped annually at $12,000, there is agreed sentiment that doing nothing will leave millions of middle-class earners vulnerable in retirement years. Several provincial finance ministers, including Sousa, have stepped forward to urge the federal government to move on reforms, including implementing modest increases to CPP contributions. But calls to prop up the federal program have ultimately fallen on deaf ears. Former Canadian Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said the na-

Given the amount that the CPP ... pays out, Canadians should not rely on them as a primary source of income to fund their retirement. SUSAN ENG, RETIREMENT SAVINGS EXPERT

tion’s economy isn’t strong enough to support the increased taxation needed to bolster the fund. Policymakers are nervous about declining savings, increased household debt and an overheated housing market. Flaherty had suggested taking more out of incomes of most of the working population isn’t a sound idea. “Right now the federal government is apprehensive about doing any of this, which is strange because it is in the benefit of Canadians in the long term,” Sousa said. Frustrated by federal foot-dragging, the province is drafting its own vision for an Ontario Pension Plan to supplement the CPP. Earlier this year, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne appointed former prime minister Paul Martin as a special adviser on pensions. Martin will contribute to a technical panel comprised of pension experts. Eng and other retirement savings experts suggest that individuals require 50-70 per cent of their pre-retirement income to maintain their standard of living in retirement. Most Ontarians can’t save enough to meet that target. Eng says, at best, with CPP and Old Age Security combined, one can earn about $18,000 annually post-retirement. Most Ontarians earn about $9,000 from CPP and Old Age Se-

curity, she said, with the average monthly payout less than $600. Chris Buttigieg, senior manager, Wealth Planning Strategy for BMO Financial Group, says sole dependence on CPP after retirement is a dire mistake. “Given the amount that the CPP ... pays out, Canadians should not rely on them as a primary source of income to fund their retirement,” he said. “Rather, they should consider the CPP … to be a supplementary component of their overall retirement income solution and focus on creating their very own personal pension plan by contributing to an RRSP on a regular basis.” Others are counting on the sale of a home as a way to fund retirement. That’s exactly what Sung Joo Park, a self-employed caterer, did after she turned 60. Park, 76, lives in a rented apartment in Mississauga. Her husband, Jong Joo Park, 82, died earlier this year. Neither one of them had a private pension plan. “It’s hard,” she said. “Life was a lot easier 20 years ago.”

Eng is calling on Ontario to make workplace pension plans mandatory. “It has to come into existence and somebody has to create it,” she said. Details on an Ontario plan still need to be ironed out. The plan though would likely be run by an independent organization at arms-length from the provincial government. It would also use a defined contribution system that allows workers the choice to opt out. Sousa is keen on the idea of a mandatory system with an optout clause, similar to what’s being done in Quebec and also in other countries. The Liberals remain steadfast on introducing new reforms. But any new pension would have to be approved by the Ontario legislature where the Liberals hold minority status. If the opposition parties vote down the government, the province will face an election, and a pension scheme for Ontario could be put on hold.

Nothing is guaranteed, not even your private pension By LOUIE ROSELLA Staff

News - If you’re enrolled in a pension plan, chances are your money is safe. Maybe. Perry Quinton, vice-president of marketing at Investor Education Fund (IEF), a non-profit organization founded by the Ontario Securities Commission, says anyone who is either looking for work or already employed should view privately-funded pension plans as a necessity. “It can be free money that if you don’t sign up for it, you’re not going to get it,” she says. “Any kind of incentive that forces you to save money is brilliant.” Quinton and her organization say there are mainly two types of private pension plans of-

fered in Ontario: • a defined benefit pension plan, where the employer promises a specified monthly benefit on retirement that is pre-determined by a formula. It’s up to the employer to deliver what they promised when you retire. If a plan doesn’t have enough money, the employer will have to put more money into the fund. • a defined contribution pension plan or Group Registered Retirement Savings Plan (Group RRSP), in which both you and your employer can put money into the plan. In either case, a trust company or insurance company holds this money in a separate account for you. You, not the company, own that money. Even if your employer goes bankrupt, your money is safe. Of course, you can always lose some or all

of your money if the market crashes or if you don’t invest it wisely, the IEF says. Your pension plan should not run out of money if the employer manages the fund properly, Quinton says. Even if the worst happens, some of your pension savings may be protected. In Ontario, most employers of defined benefit plans pay a yearly fee to Ontario’s Pensions Benefits Guarantee Fund. This fund insures the first $1,000 of an employee’s monthly pension in case the employer goes bankrupt. It’s the only fund of this type in Canada. However, not even this unique fund will guarantee that an employee gets all of his/her promised pension, Quinton says, noting the infamous Nortel Networks bankruptcy case in which employees didn’t receive all of their

promised pension. Should an employee be fired or choose to leave the company, depending on the type of plan, he/she may have the option of transferring their pension earnings into another plan, Quinton says. They could also leave it where it is and collect at time of retirement or transfer into a locked-in retirement savings account (LIRA), which works much like an RRSP. There is always the chance that a company chooses to shut down its pension plan, which it can do at anytime. “If the plan was properly funded, you should get everything you have earned so far,” Quinton says. However, if the plan was underfunded, you may not get all you’re promised, Quinton says. Ottawa South News EMC - Thursday, May 1, 2014

Fluffy flat out refuses to like garden idea

T

he seeds from Steele-Briggs had long since arrived in the mail. Mother had little wood flats laid out all over the downstairs of the house. Every day I checked, looking for sprouts of life, and when I saw some that hadn’t been there before, I was as excited as if I was witness to a birth, which, in a way, it was. Some of the boxes filled the window sills, and space on the bake table had been taken over, and that table pushed close to the window that looked out into the grape arbour. Mother tried to capture as much sunlight as possible to help her growing seeds along. I couldn’t tell what the plants were to become, and I wasn’t sure Mother knew either. So to take the mystery out of it all, Mother laced the empty seed packet onto a little stick and there was one in each box identifying what was planted. Very clever indeed, was my mother. There was still a chill in the air, but the days were warm-

in her small cardboard box behind the Findlay Oval, because the house had cooled down, and I knew she would be as snug as a bug in a rug. I wakened the next morning to Mother’s yell-

MARY COOK Memories ing up, and Mother said soon the garden would be ploughed up. By then the sprouts could be ready for planting. Every night before I went to bed, I carried my little kitten Fluffy in my arms and circled the boxes, putting firmly in my mind how tall each sprig was, so that in the morning I could check to see what growth had taken place over night. Mother, who was dead set against any pets in the house, allowed me to keep Fluffy, but only until she was grown enough to move to the barn. With her in my arms, I would talk to her about the plants and how once they had been tiny little seeds, sure in my mind that she knew every word I was saying.

“Those have grown a good inch,” Mother said that night, as she took a teaspoon and poked at the earth around the little plants coming to life in the box under the window. I wanted to believe her, but to me they looked exactly as they did two days before. Firmly holding Fluffy, I got down on my knees and smelled the little plants. All I could smell was earth. I put Fluffy’s nose close, too, but she didn’t seem the least bit interested in whether or not the plants were showing any sign of life. Sometimes I sneaked Fluffy upstairs to my bedroom, which I shared with my older sister Audrey. I’d put her under my bed on a folded blanket. That night I put her

ing up the stairwell for me to get down to the kitchen, and I better make it fast. Wiping the sleep from my eyes I followed Mother’s pointing figure to the flat box of sprouts under the

Non-profit

kitchen window. There was Fluffy, stretched out as neat as you please, on top of what was just about ready for planting. See MARY COOK on page 47

FOR ONTARIO RESIDENTIAL AND SMALL BUSINESS CUSTOMERS TO COVER THE RISING COSTS OF GENERATING POWER.

Changes to the CPP plan offer individuals more financial flexibility.

Make the best of the changes to your CPP News - The Canada Pension Plan has embarked on a series of changes that may cause you to rethink when to begin receiving your CPP pension benefits. The amendments are intended to provide more financial flexibility depending on each individual’s chosen retirement path and to encourage Canadians to work longer before starting to draw a government pension. That’s why these changes provide greater incentives for those willing to work past the traditional retirement age and significant reductions for those taking CPP benefits before age 65. Dave Ablett, pension expert at Investors Group, says the new rules make it more attractive to delay receipt of your CPP benefits – but only if: your health is good: your life expectancy above average; you have a reasonable income and/or you intend to continue working after 65. He says you should consider taking your CPP benefits earlier if: your life expectancy is below average; you have an illness that doesn’t qualify for CPP disability; you have little or no other income or you are perma-

nently unemployed. Ablett says there are other changes you should know about: • The work cessation rule has been eliminated. Now, starting at age 60, you can continue working and still receive CPP benefits. • The earnings drop-out provision has been changed. Under the old rules, if you retired at age 65, you could drop out seven of your lowest earning years from age 18 to 65 when you were eligible to contribute to CPP. Now, that drop-out period has increased to 7.5 years and will increase again, to eight years, in 2014. “If you’re approaching retirement, you have a lot of financial decisions to make, including how to get the most out of the CPP changes for your situation,” Ablett said. “Your professional advisor can help guide you down the right path to your best possible, and most financially stable, retirement.” More information on this topic is available from the Investors Group, or contact a financial advisor to get specific advice about your circumstances.

Mother stopped only long enough to repeat once again that animals belong in the barn before ordering “that cat” to be immediately moved right out to the barn, and she was never to darken the door again. I scooped up the kitten, and even I knew the sprouts were beyond repair. Mother said I could take the wood box out to the junk pile behind the silo while I was at it. Still in my pyjamas, with Fluffy under one arm, and the box of soil and flattened sprouts in the other, I

Christopher Gobin, 18, is held by police in the front yard of a home on Esprit Drive after a short manhunt which saw him run through neighbours’ backyards on April 22. He has been charged in the murder his mother, 49-year-old Luce Lavertu.

Mother killed in Orléans suburb Teen son charged Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - Police were called to a home on St. Bruno Street in Avalon on the afternoon of April 22 because a woman had her throat cut. Police arrived at the Orléans home to find 49year-old Luce Lavertu dead. Several hours later, police were seen sprinting from the crime scene towards neighbours’ backyards. Lavertu’s 18-year-old son, Christopher Gobin, was running from police through neighbours’ backyards. Police eventually caught up with the teenager, and pinned him to the ground in the front yard of a property on Esprit Drive. He was crying as police held him on the ground and put him into handcuffs. He was wearing a T-shirt, jogging pants and only socks on his feet. He stopped crying and stared straight ahead as police put him into a cruiser. He was arrested, and later charged with first degree murder. “He was running through the backyard,” said a woman near the house where he was arrested.

“I saw him running from the side of my house … I was scared, of course.” The woman said she was aware a woman had been killed before she came home. Other neighbours were shocked when they arrived home, and said they had never seen anything like it in the Avalon neighbourhood before. Before Gobin was arrested, neighbours crowded around police tape on St. Bruno Street. Gobin, a student at St. Peter High School, appeared in court at the Elgin Street courthouse via video feed the next day. He wore a baggy white tank top and white shorts, with his hands in cuffs, as he calmly stated his name. He was then charged with the first-degree murder. He was scheduled to appear in court again on April 30. Gobin attends St. Peter High School. The Catholic school board said counsellors would at the school in the days following Gobin’s arrest. His social media profiles offered little insight into much information about him, but he did have a few chilling words in a survey style question-and-answer that was displayed. The last of several of his answers to the question, “3 worst words to hear?” He wrote “your mom died.”

Sir Wilfred Laurier students host conference on world conflicts Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - Sir Wilfrid Laurier Secondary School students aren’t in the dark when it comes to international conflicts. A group of Grade 12 students in a courses which covers conflict and crises of the 20th and 21st century are well-versed in international events, and presented projects at a conference they hosted on April 23. The youth conference was held at the Adult High School on the same day as Canada’s National Day of Remembrance and Action on Mass Atrocities. The date is a tribute to April 23, 1867, the birthdate of former prime minister Lester B. Pearson. Sen. RomĂŠo Dallaire and MP Paul Dewar selected the day to acknowledge the former prime minister’s commitment to peace. Ottawa students in other social science courses from Rideau, Glebe, Hillcrest and Ridgemont high schools attended the conference. Over 300 students were invited to the day-long event. “Basically we’re informing the community and other schools about atrocities around the world and what’s going on,â€? said Sir Wilfrid Laurier student David Sendi-Mukasa. “A lot of high school students aren’t exposed to this type of course.â€? Alisar Bawab, also a student, said the course has been opposed in some Ontario high schools because of the

angle taken on certain world issues. “It’s a controversial course because there are parts of the course that highlighted the Armenian genocide, which some Turkish people did not like,� she said. “So here, even in Canada, they did not want their children to attend a class where they would learn about that.� The Armenian genocide took place in the modern-day Turkey, starting in 1915. “That’s a difficultly with getting our age aware of these things, if we can’t even have the classes available to us,� Sendi-Mukasa said. The students said they weren’t aware of any controversy over the course being offered at Sir Wil, and were glad to take it. Student Carolyn Grandy said she plans to go into international development in university, and the background knowledge in international conflict and war is a good stepping stone to studying those issues at the post-secondary level. The students organized the conference which brought in a variety of guest speakers such as Rwandan genocide survivor Mary-Claire Wihogora and OXFAM Canada executive director Robert Fox. BRIER DODGE/METROLAND “Hearing what they all had to say is very inspirational,� Bawab said.

Long list of reasons to fall in love with your taxes: editor Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

News – Next to weather, Canadians love to commiserate over taxes; especially when income-tax filing season is at hand. Not so much Alex Himelfarb. He wants to change the way Canadians view paying taxes. From the H&R Block commercials bemoaning ‘tax pain’ in the backside to the dominant narrative that public revenue is money forcibly taken from hardworking taxpayers: the assumption is taxes are bad. And any person or party calling for a tax hike is laughably unfit to rule. Himelfarb is co-editor of Tax is Not a Four-Letter Word – A Different Take on Taxes in Canada. The compilation of essays by many leading experts explores various aspects of tax policy. Himelfarb filed already, well ahead of the May 5 extended deadline. Doing so didn’t in the least faze this Ottawa resident

and Government of Canada’s former most-senior non-political official. “I was just fine with filing my taxes,” said Himelfarb, onetime clerk of the privy council. “I’ve had a truly privileged life. I’m the son of immigrants and this country has done much for us.” But what of those who are not grateful for government services? those who either don’t appreciate or need programs like welfare or the old age pension system, public education or universal healthcare? Himelfarb says class stratification can reach such extremes that the ultra rich believes it is entitled to all it has, that it earned its wealth (even if inherited or had educated employees). Conversely, the poor can loose all hope and believe the system is rigged. Meanwhile the middle class will resent those beneath and forgive those above. “That’s why we need to have a conversation on how we can restore the public good,” he said. “The book is really about taxes

as a proxy for how we think about our obligations toward one another and our responsibilities to the public good.” The great bulk of taxes are used to pay for social programs that benefit the vast majority of Canadians, a point Himelfarb says has been lost amid the last 35 years of Thatcherism and Reaganomics that insist on decreasing taxes ad infinitum. The issue hasn’t always been as polarized between left and right. From the early to mid 20th century most progressive social programs in the U.S. and Canada were put in place by rightwing administrations trying to stave off communism. Leftwingers were often libertarians suspicious of government as an instrument of tycoons and their corporations. When the generation that won the Second World War returned from Europe both sides favoured social programs to aid the transition back to civilian life. “That’s why left and right don’t work very well. Progressives understand the state is

Meet Simba (A166263), a five-year-old laid-back, male kitty in search of his forever home. Contrary to his roaring Lion King namesake, Simba is a calm feline who is looking for a quiet home to bloom into the best cat he can be. His sweet demeanor and “hakuna matata” nature will make him an easy-going companion. This gentle guy would love nothing more than to curl up in a home he can call his own. Simba is a Foster-me-First adoption as he’s on medication for dental work the shelter performed and needs a checkup to make sure he’s healing properly.

necessary to contain the market and a strong civil society is needed to contain the state.” That’s why he talks about value for tax dollars, as do all moderates, because blind trust in the state is as foolish as blind trust in the markets. Both are capable of tyranny. LESS MEANS MORE

But what of the commonly held refrain: tax people and corporations less and business will thrive, creating more jobs and more tax revenue? Trickledown economics has been tried for the past 35 years, culminating in the 2008 economic meltdown caused by deregulation and profit concentration, Himelfarb indicated. He cited a recent bipartisan Congressional ReSUBMITTED search Service study showing tax cuts didn’t deliver on their Alex and Jordan Himelfarb are the editors of Tax is not a four letter word - A Different Take on Taxes in Canada. Alex wants promises. See TAXES, page 58

to change the way Canadians view paying their taxes. He says people have lost sight of the fact that taxes are used to pay for social programs that benefit most Canadians.

donate their time to help the animals in the care of the OHS as part of the OHS volunteer vet program. They discount their services, walk in the annual OHS walkathon, host donation boxes in their clinics and – along with technicians, animal care attendants, and everyone who works with them – are great partners in animal welfare and close friends of the OHS. Next time you see your veterinarian, remember to thank them for all they help do to make Ottawa and the world a better place for the animals.

In clinical practice, every pet owner knows that a good veterinarian becomes a trusted partner in the health and welfare of our pet.

While veterinary medicine is critical for your pet and regular veterinary care is an essential part of being a responsible owner, the importance of veterinary medicine stretches far beyond the health of our much-loved pets. Veterinarians have a huge role in preventing disease in humans. Zoonotic disease ¬– animal illnesses that can be transmitted to humans – are a tremendous threat around the world, but we Canadians rarely give them a thought, and rarely need to – only because of veterinarians.

Taxes cost of good government: Himelfarb Continued from Page 56

Then there are the obvious successes in social welfare nations in northern Europe where standard of living and happiness indicators far surpass the laissez-faire economies of the U.S. and Japan. “The market is not everything. Where’s the evidence that tax cuts deliver anything but suffering and pain,” he said. Suffering and pain is something tax cut advocates often point to, saying the private sector is suffering therefore the public sector must be reduced. But most mainstream economists agree that, when in recession or near recession there must be stimulus spending on the public side to bolster the economy; and when the economy re-

bounds, governments should scale back. That is exactly what the late federal finance minister Jim Flahety eventually agreed to do. Himelfarb agrees that a large government presence in the economy cushions against booms and busts. Sunshine lists and union bashing among cynics contribute to a culture that denigrates the public sector. Himelfarb said the highest level public servants are paid less than counterparts in the corporate world. But that is a weak response for those who say the highest paid in both sectors are raking in too much. He added that it is untrue that public servants don’t contribute anything. To those who advocate austerity measures in the public sector, they need to explain why it is good for traffic gridlock, esca-

lating post-secondary costs, healthcare wait lines and more to continue. “Let’s at least force our politicians to answer questions,” he said. “They are fond of asking how much a new idea is going to cost, but not what is lost when they cut taxes.” As for those who say they can’t pay any more; those on fix incomes, or among the working class: it’s always better to pool money rather than go it alone, Himelfarb indicated, and lower income citizens tend to get back more than they pay in. To others, some of whom fake hardship to mask greed: “As for the ‘If I have suffered, others should suffer,’ I would just say that’s a race to the bottom that I don’t want to be a part of.” Another common refrain is this-or-that candidate is ‘just another tax-and-spend’ Liberal or

New Democrat. It’s one of many catch phrases mouthed by neo-cons on talk radio and in most daily newspapers that often goes unchallenged, as if the right capitalizes off of base emotions while the left is fumbling through the rules of rational debate. Himelfarb, instead, turns it around. “Yes, they are tax-and-spenders. All politicians tax and spend. That’s what they do: tax, spend, and reallocate,” he said. “It’s not a question of those who don’t versus those who do. Even neoconservatives tax and spend. It’s just a question on what: they tax and spend on military; progressives tax and spend on health care and social justice.” However, a recent example of a tax cut was when in 2006 newly elected Prime Minister Stephen Harper, against the advice of most economists, cut the GST from 14 o 12 per cent. It made for a nice photo opt, critics said, but also cost $14 billion a year in revenue that could have been put back into roads, bridges and other desperately needed infrastructure upgrades. “It wasn’t a surprise that he did it. He said it was going to do it. But that the opposition barely pushed back - that was the surprise. We are not just taxpayers. We are citizens who want to act in the common good.” He called it a question of taxing fairly and spending wisely. That’s the conversation he eventually wants the public to swing back toward. And, as a confessed optimist, he believes it is happening – particularly at the municipal level, the end point for downloading cutbacks. Progressive mayors are elected in Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary, and Halifax. New Yorkers elected a mayor who promised to increase taxes on the city’s wealthiest citizens. Republicans are doing a rethink on where the Tea Party has led them, which is out of touch with the majority of disenfranchised voters. U.S. President Barak Obama talks a lot about equality; federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau talks about the middle class, but also about inequality; federal NDP leader Thomas Mulcair would roll back corporate tax cuts and possibly increase capital gains taxes, though he vowed to freeze individual income taxes. Himelfarb thinks many 2014 municipal elections will be focused on equality issues. “I feel like there is something happening out there.” He said more and more citizens are catching on to the fallacy of the rugged individual fighting the world to satisfy his greed for material gain. Even the English philosopher Thomas Hobbes, a conservative who famously said the whole is worth more than the sum of its parts, would have trouble identifying with today’s neo-conservative, Himelfarb said. “It’s not clear what they are trying to conserve,” he said. “Look, we are more than consumers and taxpayers with no obligations to one another. We are citizens figuring out what kind of future we want and are trying to build it.”
