across the city thanks to good works News - Rob Murphy knows firsthand what it takes to make a stormtrooper cry. When wearing his homemade suit of armour, virtually identical to that worn by imperial troops in the Star Wars movie uni-

verse, the Hintonburg resident has struggled to rein in his emotions. He and other members of the Capital City Garrison of the 501st Legion, a worldwide Star Wars costuming group, find their passion for supporting children’s charities – all done on a volunteer basis – very emotional. “It’s heartwarming. It’s moving stuff,�

said Murphy, one of almost 40 club members who construct their own movie-precise costumes on their own dime, some of which cost more than $1,000. Seeing the looks on kids’ faces, and knowing they are helping those in need is reward enough, and has had the power to reduce a stormtrooper to tears. “That’s why I like wearing the mask,� said Murphy, who owns a mortgage brokerage.

Police make arrest following indecent act at Mooney’s Bay Park Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News – Increased police presence will continue at Mooney’s Bay Park following a string of alleged indecent

acts last month. Officers were at the park April 29, and allegedly spotted an adult male exposing himself to another person near a pathway around 9 a.m. An east district neighbourhood

officer made an arrest at the scene. The suspect was in a “state of undress,” said police spokesperson Const. Marc Soucy, who declined to elaborate.

One of the responsibilities district neighbourhood police officers have is concentrating their efforts on areas that have been plagued by problems. Police received several complaints about an adult

male exposing himself in the same park, located at 2960 Riverside Park, since April 14. Following the recent arrest, Ottawa police sexual assault and child abuse investigators are working to determine whether the recent alleged indecent act may be connected to previous reports.

That’s why we need people. That’s why we need the public to be our eyes, and if they see something happening to let us know. CONST. MARC SOUCY

“We have to make sure all of (the complaints) are founded, too. It doesn’t mean all of them are founded, it’s just that we’ve had four or five reports,” Soucy said. “So we’re looking at all the incidents and seeing where it’s going lead.” Even with the recent arrest,

an increased police presence will continue at Mooney’s Bay Park, located at 2960 Riverside Dr. With (the ongoing indecent act investigation), plus with the nicer weather coming, we always increase our patrols at Mooney’s Bay,” Soucy said. Police credit people at the park and living near the green space for being so vigilant and quickly reporting incidents to officers. “That’s what we need because we can’t be everywhere all the time,” said Soucy. “That’s why we need people. That’s why we need the public to be our eyes, and if they see something happening to let us know.” A 62-year-old Ottawa man faces indecent act and mischief charges. He was scheduled to appear in court on April 30. Anyone with information about these incidents is asked to call the Ottawa police sexual assault and child abuse unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5944, or make an anonymous tip by calling Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477.

Volunteers in short supply for meal delivery program Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Community – Annie Parisien and Dorothy Thompson quickly load cardboard trays with packaged pork-chop lunches, steaming soups, muffins, cups of juice and dessert, before heading into an apartment to deliver their first meal. Allan Forward answers the door with a smile. The south Gloucester resident began receiving hot meals on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays in March. “I’ll have one tonight for dinner and one tomorrow night for dinner,” says Forward, who saves the juice and muffins for lunch. The 57-year-old’s medical issues prevent him from getting out of his apartment regularly, and his physical limitations also prevent him from cooking for himself. “Can I just go in and put (the food) in there?” Thompson asks. “You know the way,” Forward says with a smile. “Sometimes we’ll be the only person (the clients) talk to during the day, even the only person they see during the week,” Parisien says. Ideally, she wishes she could pack more meals for many other people in need. But because she doesn’t have enough volunteers, the co-ordinator of the Meals On Wheels program for the Eastern Ottawa Resource Centre can’t feed additional people in south Gloucester. The meal-delivery program is one of the centre’s many social and community services, which range from workshops to crisis intervention to referral services for people in need. The non-profit already has five wellestablished meal delivery routes in which 40 clients receive hot meals five days a week in Or-

léans, Beacon Hill and another part of Gloucester. But the south Gloucester route, which started about two years, has just six clients who receive food three days a week. “It’d be nice to do five days, but I can’t add routes if I don’t have clients, and I can’t add routes if I don’t have volunteers,” says Parisien, who relies on two volunteers in the area to deliver the meals. It’s not enough, reason why Parisien, a community support worker, does a lot of the deliveries herself, even though she’s supposed to be at her Orléans office, co-ordinating delivery volunteers, recruiting clients, providing caregiver support, referrals and financial assessments. “I love going out. I love delivering meals to the seniors,” says the Vanier resident. “I’m also stressed, because I know I have messages waiting for me. “It’s challenging. I’m a good juggler.” Her vision for the route is ambitious, but she has hopes she will be able to reach more people in need, with enough help. “I could have 40 clients if I had 30 volunteers,” she says. “I would love to see the south end grow to 70 clients, five days a week. I know there are seniors living in this area.” She is so desperate for help that she has asked drivers from other Meals on Wheels routes to lend a hand. Dorothy Thompson agreed to come in from Orléans, where she lives and also delivers meals for the centre. And though her help is appreciated, it means the centre must pay extra money for Thompson’s mileage expenses. The centre pays volunteers 50 cents a kilometre to cover travel, the reason why Parisien would prefer to rely on volunteers who live within or near south Gloucester. Some of that expense is off-

set by the price of the hot meals, which each cost $6 and are available to clients 65 or older, or who are adults with physical disabilities. From each $6 hot meal, $4.56 goes to Chartwell for the food and containers, while $1.44 covers mileage expenses. Frozen meals are also available through the centre, ranging in cost from $5.50 to $7.20 each. Thompson slips around Forward’s open door to set the meals on the kitchen counter. “It carries me through,” Forward says. “The Meals on Wheels is fantastic. I know there’s so many people that can’t get out.” Prior to signing up for the program – he started receiving frozen meals in 2012 – Forward says his diet consisted of junk food and fast food, including pizza, bread and candy. Takeout wasn’t an option that he could afford. “I’ve actually picked up strength in the last few months,” he says. Hearing that is part of the reward for volunteers, like Thompson, who retired in 2008 and began delivering meals for the resource centre about four years ago. Meals on Wheels volunteers can choose their delivery shifts, from one day a month to every day the meals are offered. Thompson not only enjoys socializing with people on her routes, she also delights in knowing the hot, home-cooked meals she delivers are helping others. “Our generation grew up with the idea that whatever you had, you were obliged to give back,” Thompson says. “You’re filling a need.” To volunteer or to order meals, please call Parisien at 613-741-6025, ext. 331, or visit www.eorc-creo.ca.

‘Where else can you get arrested by a stormtrooper’ Continued from page 1

The Ottawa group has grown in popularity since its inception in 2003. Members attended nearly 60 events last year in their membership area, which extends from Kingston to Cornwall and north to the Quebec border. Though it is one of the smallest clubs compared to other 501st Legion groups around the world, it is one of the most successful at fundraising. By attracting large crowds, they indirectly helped charities generate $168,000 last year alone. They also raised $23,000 – including $10,700 at Ottawa Comiccon – in 2013 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, their chosen charity. “We’re bad guys doing good,” said Orléans resident Kevin Presseault, who dresses as a stormtrooper. The comic convention, which they plan to participate in this weekend, from May 9 to 11, at the Ernst & Young Centre, is the group’s biggest event of the year. Upwards of 60 costumers will participate in their interactive exhibit, some of them from the Rebel

In addition to showcasing their costumes, ranging from towering wookies and Darth Vader to stormtroopers and Jedi knights, this year they’ll be throwing people in jail. For

a charitable donation, convention-goers can request that stormtroopers arrest a friend or relative during the event. “I have a feeling I’m going to be thrown in jail at one point,” said founding member and Carson Grove resident Luc Lavictoire, who plans to dress

as a biker scout at the convention. “Where else can you get arrested by a stormtrooper?” said Murphy. “My daughter’s already figured it all out. She’s put a mark on mommy.” Many events, including the convention, require hours of

standing in unforgiving costumes – they say it’s impossible to sit down in rigid stormtrooper armour – or being out in 40-degree heat or freezing temperatures. But they say their reward comes from the smiles on children’s faces. Adults also become just as excited, and ask for photos and sometimes kisses. “You’re making life better for the little ones. That’s the reason to do this,” said Murphy, who initially was skeptical about joining the garrison because of misconceptions about the type of people who join Star Wars costuming clubs. “People think we’re all geeks, nerds, living in our parents’ basement, that we’re socially inept,” said Lavictoire. “I can guarantee that’s not true,” said Murphy, who has built 11 costumes since joining three years ago, including what he says is the first Canadian-built Gamorrean guard costumes based on a Jabba the Hutt guard in the Return of the Jedi movie. Members, who must be at least 18 and construct their own movie-accurate costume, include a lawyer, doctors and

business owners, among others. Lavictoire is a computer technician and Presseault is a minister at Greenbelt Baptist Church in Gloucester, where members built their jail. “I’ve always, always, always loved Star Wars, ever since I was a little kid,” Presseault said. “I grew up on it. I’d seen the costumes before, but didn’t realize it was such a cool club, and then when I found out about the children’s charities that they did I just fell in love with it.” Events attended by members are a family affair, with spouses helping costumed characters, and children dressing up as Jawas and even young Anakin Skywalker, among others. “Everyone loves Star Wars,” Presseault said of the appeal. “It’s timeless, it’s just a message that connects with our hearts, and we’re wired to root for the good guys. “There’s just something about the endless story of good and evil.” For details on Ottawa Comiccon, visit ottawacomiccon. com.

To the editor:

Re: Stoop-and-scoop this spring, editorial, April 24, Ottawa South News. I live in the Pineview community and walk the paths daily for exercise. The issue of un-scooped dog poo is an all-year one, not one for spring only. We see even greater deposits on and along walking paths in winter as both owners and animals avoid the off-path deep snow. The park is a dog latrine, seriously curtailing its wider use as a picnic/recreation site. Your call for more education and peer pressure from responsible owners who pick up after their pets is reasonable. However, these measures are ignored by habitual offenders. Point out the posted signs for pets to be leashed and to stoop and scoop and you are met with threats and belligerence. The scale of the problem is immense; all sizes of animals are involved as the deposits show. There is also an interesting bit of pet owner behavior as there seems to be a number of owners who pick up their pets’ poo in plastic bags, but instead of taking the bagged deposit away or even placing it in the available garbage bins, they drop it on and along the pathways. It would be a lesser evil if they were to leave the poo where it was deposited. I believe the situation is Didn’t get your

such as to warrant deterrent measures now. It has been very bad for years. I believe also that only the recalcitrant and irresponsible miscreants should be targeted, fined and made to pick up the poo. They blatantly disregard the posted signs. I am advocating two measures to this end: the vigilance of the bylaw enforcement agents and the use of cameras. Your editorial states that bylaw enforcement officers “have better things to do than stake out parks on the offchance a bad owner will offend in plain view.” That statement begs the question: What are the better things? Is the subject of un-scooped poo relegated to a lower order of importance? Dogs running unleashed and threatening people and other pets, litter and people using and abandoning shopping carts are additional things requiring, but not receiving, the attention of bylaw officers. When and where do the officers look? On any given day at the Pineview area parks, especially as dusk comes, one is sure to see dogs depositing with no owner pick-up. How else can one account for the heavy and widespread deposits? The city uses cameras in other situations as effective tools of law enforcement. It could also use them judiciously and strategically in our parks to great effect to address the issue of pooping with no scooping (and, simultaneously, other misdemeanors). Derek Oudit Pineview

Unsuitable vision of child care To the editor:

Re: Universal childcare is an economic issue, column, April 24, Ottawa South News. Columnist Brynna Leslie begins reasonably by stating how much she values the care only she, as the mother, could provide to her children, and I completely agree there is no one on Earth more suited to raising her children. When parents plan to have children they must decide how they will handle the time and financial responsibilities of giving birth and two decades of financial support. A decade later, however, she decides that her children are no longer the top priority and that her job is more important, so third-party child care would be better. The problem is that “affordable” is just a euphemism for using the force of the government so she wants to make someone else pay. This would absolve her of the responsibility she took on voluntarily as a parent, making anyone except her responsible for her choices. Leslie incorrectly states that parents are often forced to make a choice between family and their careers. This is a clear misuse of the term “force”, which means the initiation or threat of physical harm to another person. If force was defined according to Leslie’s usage, it would mean force is applied in any situation where a human being is required to choose between alternative actions. In this situation, Leslie

clearly made a completely voluntary choice before having children, knowing that as parents’ priorities must be set and that you cannot have something just by wishing for it. No one forced her to have a child, much less three of them. Babies do not simply “arrive” as she states, but are planned. The fact she had very little net take-home pay after working at home and making child-care arrangements is a direct consequence of her choice to have three children and wanting to work at the same time. Since almost half her household income is taken in taxes of myriad types, she is prevented by force from being able to select from among the various priorities she may have in life, including parenting. She is forced to pay for water and bus monopolies at the municipal level and electricity, education and food monopolies at the provincial level. Leslie is in this sense partially correct that her choices are restricted (parenting versus employment) but it is the very concept she wishes to use against others that is the cause of the problem. She does not realize it, but she has met the enemy and it is her own ideology. The worst statement in the column is when she says “we need all working-age people to stay in the workforce, to continue to build our economy and pay taxes to support social programs.” The direct implication here is that the purpose of having children and of people living and working is to support the collective, the lives of others, specifically the elderly who

are not working. What a demeaning vision of the purpose of human life, to work so that others may enjoy social programs they have not paid for. It is only when services are run by the use of force that children become slaves to the pensions and benefits of prior generations - generations who have voted to spend on themselves the money their children and grandchildren have not yet earned. Brynna Leslie’s vision of universal child care is not proper in a free society. It is a vision suitable for a country run by the ideas of Karl Marx. We have seen such societies and are moving in the direction of becoming one – a society in which individual rights are erased and groups struggle for the levers of political power until one of them achieves total power.

License all dogs To the editor:

The vicious mauling of a 14-month-old child on Sunday, April 27, in Nepean will again raise many issues and concerns about aggressive dogs, and rightfully so. One solution to reducing dog attacks resides in the licensing of all dogs. All dogs kept in the city, and, in-fact, in all municipalities across the province, must

have a valid dog licence. However, it is estimated only about 20 per cent of dogs in this city are licensed. And unlicensed dogs are less likely to be spayed or neutered, critical factors in preventing aggression. Spaying and neutering not only help eliminate behavioural problems, but also prevents many medical issues. The large number of unlicensed dogs in Ottawa poses, as the record clearly reveals, a threat to public health and safety. It would be easy to argue that unlicensed animals pose as much a threat to public health as second-hand smoke. The reason the city’s antismoking bylaw worked is because it was enforced. Failure by the city to enforce this bylaw constitutes blatant discrimination against those responsible owners who do choose to license their dogs – and smacks of poor governance. The animal control bylaw must be enforced or it will not achieve its purpose. The challenge resides with the city to enforce this bylaw. Providing the resources to enforce animal-control regulations will help this community protect its residents from aggressive dogs and their irresponsible owners. Can we expect this to happen?

Derailing the blame game

T

he city is waging a war of words with Via Rail over recent malfunctions at Barrhaven rail crossings and, unfortunately, the fallout is public safety. Via fired the latest broadside last week, sending out a press release that accused two OC Transpo buses of failing to stop at rail crossings on April 25 and 28, and in one instance, damaging a crossing gate. The accusation caught the city off guard, leaving council scrambling for more information about the two alleged incidents. Diane Deans, the chairwoman of the city’s transit commission, said it was the first time anyone at city hall had heard about it. The city later met with representatives from Via and Railterm to review both alleged incidents and concluded that while the Fallowfield crossing did go into fail-safe mode on April 28, the incident wasn’t caused by the crossing gate making contact with an OC Transpo bus, according to a letter written by Mayor Jim Watson on April 29. A statement released by Via on May 1 concurred with that assessment, but maintained that the buses in both incidents “stopped beyond the stop line,� and indicated that “these types of breaches are unacceptable.� It’s a little disturbing that the city first learned about Via’s findings through the media, but hardly

surprising, considering the history between the two following a collision between an OC Transpo bus and a Via train at a Barrhaven crossing last September, which resulted in the deaths of six people. Over the ensuing months, the city received reports of major issues with signals at six Via crossings in Barrhaven. Frustrated by the number of signal malfunctions, council soon started criticizing Via, with the mayor threatening to ask the Ministry of Transportation to intervene and force Via to do its job. What we have here is failure to communicate. The mayor said both sides need to stop playing the blame game. A good start would be for the city to find ways to enforce its bylaw requiring bus drivers to stop at signalled rail crossings, instead of pointing accusatory fingers at Via. That this is an election year and council is spooked over the potential for legal fallout from the collision seem to only fan the flames of councillors’ desperation to avoid being caught in the fallout. For its part, Via must get its act together and fix the signals at rail crossings in Barrhaven, and not spend so much effort seeking a scapegoat. Both sides must find ways to improve communication – we all end up losing by playing the blame game.

Is it time to take a stand against sitting?

S

itting is the new smoking, we’ve been reading. Incessantly we’ve been reading it. So incessantly that “sitting is the new smoking� is the new annoying cliche. Still, there’s no denying it. Expert after expert tells us, through our helpful news media, that excessive sitting – which is to say, the sitting that we all do – is responsible for such things as sore backs, elevated risk of heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Hence, sitting being the new smoking. Most of us fall into the at-risk category. According to Statistics Canada, in a study quoted by Canadian Press, only 15 per cent of adults in Canada are getting the recommended guidelines of 150 minutes of physical activity a week. The sad irony of this is that virtually the entire history of our civilization involves a struggle to allow us to sit more. When farmers produced surplus food, it enabled more people to live in towns and cities, where they could take jobs that enabled them to sit instead of walk around fields. When industrialization and mechanization produced machines and assembly lines, it took fewer people to make the products we needed. So the others could sit, becoming lawyers and journalists and image

able to mute Don Cherry without getting off the couch! Imagine being able to look up the proper spelling of “achieve� without having to lift that heavy dictionary off the shelf. The parallels with smoking are not exact, as we shall see, but there is one here. The generations of heavy smokers who were our parents and grandparents were told that smoking would make them more sophisticated and desirable and that, far from being associated with health risks, cigarettes were smoked by doctors. Similarly, no one told us there was anything wrong with sitting. In our modern society, we associated sitting with working hard at our desks and working hard was a good thing. Where the parallel is not exact is in the fact that, so far, no social stigma attaches to smoking. Beginning about 25 years ago, smokers became pariahs, banished from workplaces, public spaces and people’s living rooms. That has not happened to sitters – so far. But it is an intriguing possibility. Imagine the chairs disappearing from people’s living rooms, much as the ashtrays did. Imagine the chairs vanishing from the office, so that people who want to sit have to have to go outside for chair breaks. Anti-sitting zealots will demand non-sitting

zones in public places and at major events (we have already had a preview of this in the recurring debate about lawn chairs at music festivals in the city). From there it is a short step to sitting-cessation programs, the marketing of stop-sitting aids and a debate about second-hand sitting. We will also have to be prepared to deal with the invention of electronic sitting. It may work. Sitting may become a thing of the past. But we have to be ready for the consequences of that. Can Canada accommodate all the new non-sittings? More specifically, does Ontario have a place to stand?

Women have long been essential to family income

F

ollowing a recent column I wrote about the need for a national childcare strategy, I received some mail. That’s always great. I love getting mail. There were some people who agreed wholeheartedly that the lack of quality, subsidized childcare was keeping women out of the workforce and that that is a bad thing. There were others, naturally, who don’t believe subsidies for childcare are appropriate, because it’s better for young children to be raised at home with their mothers. There was one comment in particular along those lines that really grabbed me from someone in the latter camp: “I would argue the only reason it requires two incomes to support the average family these days is because enough two income families exist to push the housing prices (and other prices) out of reach of most families who want to be single income.” And then it struck me: People actually believe that the idealistic representation of

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse the 1950s family, where dad goes to work and mom stays home with her apron (think Leave it to Beaver) – existed at some point in our history. It’s this kind of misunderstanding of that serves to undermine feminism. It’s very easy for conservatives who are resistant to the idea of women in the workplace to say that a single income was sufficient historically and therefore should be good enough now. It’s almost a clean way to mask pure sexism. Unfortunately, the idea that one income was once enough to support most Canadian families is, frankly, a lie. As one of Canada’s foremost historians on women and family, Bettina Bradbury,

noted in a 1975 essay on the topic, “At most periods in Canadian history, working-class families have, at some point in their lifecycle, relied on more than one worker ... children’s earnings were fundamental to the family economy of all but the most skilled workers in nineteenth century Canadian cities.” Bradbury, a feminist, herself, was always ahead of her time. Nearly 40 years ago, she had the foresight to examine the “real” history of the working-class, rather than that which was represented by official statistics. But women are not well represented in wage-earning statistics over the last 150 years. The nature of their

contributions was thus largely ignored in the first half of the twentieth century literature. And even now, there is little discussion of it in mainstream curricula. “To understand how the working-class survived and reproduced itself, all kinds of work must be considered,” wrote Bradbury, “not simply wage labour but non-wage labour, self-employment, home production and domestic labour, involvement in formal and informal economies.” Bradbury goes onto examine exactly what that second income may have looked like. Married women outside of formalized wage labour contributed to the family income in a number of different ways – running laundries,

working as domestics, even prostitution. “Behind the male rhetoric about the need to support their families must have been the uneasy realization that few men could always support a wife and family at home on their wages alone,” writes Bradbury. Even by the 1950s, a single income was not enough for most families. This is supported by modern historical literature, and I’m sure most people have an historical anecdote in their own families which would expose the “Leave it to Beaver ideal” as a lie. For my own grandparents who immigrated to Canada after the Second World War, (and many like them), surviving on a single income was

far from the norm. Between them, they always earned a double income. Sometimes, my grandfather would work two jobs. But for the better part of 35 years, my grandfather worked days and my grandmother worked evenings or nights. She also helped reduce their rent by taking in the landlord’s child along with her own five children during the day. They had to make a lot of sacrifices and never relied on “strangers” to care for their children. It would be nice to think that as we have moved forward as a society to respect the contributions of women in the workplace, we could also consider policies that would work to support rather than undermine them.

A female suspect is seen on camera at a bank machine allegedly trying to withdraw money from the account of a woman whose purse was taken during a distraction theft at the South Keys Shopping Centre parking lot on April 3.

Police seek public’s help in cracking distraction theft

Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - Ottawa police are hunting a man and a woman in connection with a distraction theft in South Keys last month. Investigators are turning to the public for help in solving the crime, which they say happened in the parking lot of the South Keys Shopping Centre on Bank Street on April 3 between 5 and 5:30 p.m. A woman returning to her parked car at the lot was approached by a man who informed her she had a flat tire on the rear passenger side of her vehicle. He offered to inflate it with a small compressor he had with him. “Since the tire had a cut in it, the male was not able to put air in it,” police said in a statement. “The male left, leaving the compressor behind, stating he would return soon.”

Investigators believe the tire had been intentionally cut, said Const. Marc Soucy, Ottawa police spokesperson. “It was (cut) with a sharp object obviously, but we just don’t know if it was done with a knife or screwdriver,” Soucy said. The man never returned, and the woman soon realized her purse was gone. Later that day, a woman allegedly tried to use the victim’s debit card at a nearby bank machine. Police would not confirm whether any money was withdrawn. “I don’t have all the details of the investigation and some of it we’re keeping,” said Soucy. “That’s part of the investigation. They’re not releasing that info right now.” The female suspect, who was seen on security video at the bank machine, is described

as a Middle Eastern woman, between five-foot-three and five-foot-five, with an average build and long, brown hair. The male suspect is said to be Caucasian, possibly of Italian descent, and between 45 and 60 years old. He spoke poor English, and was poorly dressed, and wore a black jacket and hat. “People are also reminded that, should they be in a similar situation, to keep an eye on their property, and contact police should they suspect the persons involved may be attempting a distraction fraud or theft,” investigators said in a statement. Anyone with information on the male and female suspects is asked to contact lead investigator Det. Stephen Plummer at 613-236-1222 ext. 3415, or make an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers by calling 613233-8477.

Stargazers invited to a cosmic celebration Science and Technology Museum marks International Astronomy Day Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - One look through Canada’s largest refracting telescope and the moon you’ve seen hundreds of times with the naked eye transforms. “You see it every night; you think you know the phases of the moon, but then to come, and you see it that close and that real, it still gets me,” said Melanie Hall, education and interpretation co-ordinator at the Canada Science and Technology Museum. She’s been an avid stargazer since she was a child. Her father would often wake her and her older brother in the middle of the night, and take them out in the backyard in Aylmer to stare up into the inky blackness, decorated with pinpricks of brilliant light. The thrill of those childhood experiences never left Hall, and she would later go on to research galaxy dynamics for her

master’s degree in astronomy at Queens University. “(Astronomy) is so huge and there is so much to be discovered that you can ... learn so much about the universe and how you fit into it,” she said. For her, International Astronomy Day on May 10 is a very important celebration of everything cosmic. The museum will offer a full lineup of family friendly events through the day, included with the price of admission, and long into the night, for a donation. Daytime activities will give the public the chance to peek through the museum’s solar telescopes to safely observe the sun, its flares and dark sunspots, if the weather cooperates. There will also be a children’s story, visits to the Helen Sawyer Hogg Planetarium, a short film entitled Hawaiian Starlight, a children’s meteorite workshop, and an

exploration of the night sky inside the museum’s inflatable Starlab Planetarium. Long after the doors to the museum close for the day, and weather permitting, stargazers can step inside the Helen Sawyer Hogg Planetarium and look through the largest refracting telescope in Canada, an enormous lens-equipped device constructed in 1905. If the skies are clear, they’ll get a much closer look at Earth’s moon, Mars, Jupiter and Jupiter’s four Galilean moons. ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND “They are what Galileo saw in 1609 with his own telescope Melanie Hall hopes to enjoy a closer look at the moon, Mars, Jupiter and Jupiter’s moons for the first time,” Hall said. through Canada’s largest refracting telescope inside the Helen Sawyer Hogg Planetarium at “So it’s over 400 years ago, the Canada Science and Technology Museum on International Astronomy Day on May 10. and he was able to see these four points of light.” What’s more exciting for Hall is the reaction people have when seeing these planets and moons for the first time with their own eyes, See ASTRONOMY on page 16

Contest Winners In its first-ever Bright Ideas contest, Hydro Ottawa awarded $1,000 to two local schools to put towards classroom resources. Earlier this year, Hydro Ottawa introduced Bright Ideas, an electricity safety and conservation contest, to Ottawa-area elementary school students to help promote a culture of electricity safety and conservation. The Bright Ideas contest was divided into two age-appropriate parts: one aimed at students in JK to Grade 4, and the other for students in Grades 5 to 8. The contest started in the classroom, through lessons and learning activities. Students were encouraged to become ambassadors, sharing information and starting discussions with their parents, friends and neighbours as they completed their challenge.

Lansdowne stadium, but little else, will open on July 18 Stores and restaurants begin opening in fall; Park, condos to be completed in 2015 LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - When TD Place opens for the first RedBlacks game on July 18, up to 2,400 fans will be left wanting for a place to grab a bite or beverage before or after the game. With 1,100 workers busy on the site, the stadium will be ready in time for kick-off, said Bernie Ashe, the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group, which operates the club. But almost nothing else will be done. Still, sports fans will be excited to stroll through the commercial plaza and see the initial results of the $290-million redevelopment, Ashe said. The city and OSEG partnered to redevelop the city-owned site, which used to house a partially dilapidated stadium, an OHL arena and convention centre, as well as two heritage buildings. The exterior of the new

shops will be done, but they’ll be empty, Ashe said. “We have some plans that we’re going to be able to create some pre-game entertainment and welcome fans in the retail area, however, the retailers themselves are not going to be open until the fall,” Ashe said. There will be “music and fun” outside in the retail area before and after games, Ashe said. But if people want to get food or drinks before or after the game, they can head to Bank Street, he said. The park, with its large field almost the size of the lawn in front of Parliament Hill won’t quite be ready, either. The hard-surface plaza with trees and benches in front of the Aberdeen Pavilion will be open on game day, Ashe said, but the “great lawn” won’t be open until August. The park will eventually have a play area, water feature with a tall “beacon,” a skateboard park, outdoor refrigerated ice rink and an

apple orchard, but the whole thing won’t be finished and polished up until next year, said Marco Manconi, the city staffer in charge of overseeing the project. There will be 800 trees planted – including the trembling aspen city councillors planted on April 29. Six different varieties of apple trees will be planted in the orchard in the centre of the shuttle bus drop-off near the east side of the site. “The games in the fall will be a lot more fun because we can animate this space as well,” Ashe said. People who live in the Glebe might be relieved to hear that OSEG plans to “going fairly slow” on hosting outdoor concerts at the site. Efforts to draw in those types of events won’t ramp up until next year, Ashe said. “We’re looking for outdoor concerts for this summer. We don’t have anything at this time,” Ashe said. “We’re starting to book some indoor concerts in the arena for the fall, when the 67’s return in October. “The site will probably come alive in terms of more

outdoor events sometime next year, in 2015,” he said. That’s also when people will begin moving into the 285 condo units Minto is building at Lansdowne. Ashe said Minto is reporting the units are selling well and are about 80 per cent presold. That’s about the same tenancy rate as the commercial buildings, Ashe said. Although some people have questioned whether the stores and restaurants will make Lansdowne a unique retail destination, as spelled out in the agreement with the city, Ashe defended the businesses OSEG has announced have signed on: Whole Foods, GoodLife Fitness, Sporting Life, Cineplex, JOEY restaurant, South St. Burger Company, Local Lounge and Grill and Milestones. “We’re very proud of our retail mix,” Ashe said. “We think it’s going to prove to be a very successful retail mix for what we have to do and how we have to attract people to the Glebe, as well as keep people in the Glebe.”

The businesses that have signed on, particularly TD, were very keen on the site’s historic attributes such as the views of the Aberdeen Pavilion, Ashe said.

Work in progress TOP AND LEFT: Although the turf won’t begin going in until mid-June, the RedBlacks CFL field will be ready to go for game day on July 18, Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group CEO Bernie Ashe told reporters on an April 29 tour.

The plaza will be one of the only features besides the stadium ready to go when Lansdowne re-opens to the public for the RedBlacks’ first game on July 18.

tise to help make International Astronomy Day at the museum extra special. “They are very passionate,� Hall said. “They know exactly what to do.� International Astronomy Day celebrations began as a grassroots movement in California in 1973 to bring astronomy to the general public. “So it’s a way for astronomy professionals and people interested in astronomy, to reach out to the community to ensure they get that message out there: how cool astronomy is and how important it can be to your life,� she said. Space exploration, travel to Mars, new planetary discoveries, even increased activity of the

Aurora Borealis have been making headlines in recent months, generating a spike in interest among amateur stargazers. It’s no wonder since there is still so much to learn about the unchartered territory of galaxies beyond the Milky Way, Hall said. “That’s the beauty of it.� Daytime astronomy events happen at the museum, located at 1867 St. Laurent Blvd., from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The outdoor star party goes from 8 to 9:30 p.m. Admission to the evening event is by donation, in support of the museum’s astronomy programs and to help conserve the outdoor planetarium. Stargazers are urged to dress warmly. For more event details, visit www. sciencetech.technomuses.ca and click the What’s On link.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Party on the patio EMC lifestyle - The choice of materials for your patio or terrace is up to you, but such a choice should be made right at the beginning of your strategy. It will determine the amount of money needed for your plan. There are a variety of available materials, each with their advantages and inconveniences. Some will require more upkeep while others are more expensive. Durability and solidity are major concerns when you choose your building material. You may also combine different materials for unique special effects as well as optimizing your available budget. The most popular materials used for patio and terrace are wood, concrete slabs, stone, composite and synthetic materials. Avoid materials that may crumble in winter, brittle and flimsy material as well as slippery substances. Wood is often chosen for a terrace. This structure is usually built a few feet up from the ground so will require

support pillars and railing. You may also choose wood for structures placed directly on the ground but be sure to use treated wood to avoid rotting. Wood is a favorite even though it requires yearly upkeep; its price, simplicity and warmth are attractive to many homeowners. Your floor can also be made of cement or stone slabs: using both will allow you to emphasize specific areas or zones. You can also use a base made up of bricks or granite since they require little upkeep and will resist weather changes. Synthetic materials include fibreglass, recycled plastics that resemble wood as well as waterproof fibres. All these synthetic materials are very durable and are often found in original garden designs. Composite is made with wood fibres and recycled plastics. It is both durable and maintenance-free while environmentally friendly. Composite will resist weather extremes, bad weather as well as UV rays without deterioration.

Left to its own devices, your patio may present prominent angles, which need to be hidden or camouflaged for a harmonious look into your garden. Like any landscaping project, the trick of the trade is planning. Plants can help. First, determine the amount of sunlight in the space you wish to landscape. You should also consider planting perennials around your patio if you wish to avoid having to transplant every year. To lighten up a patio made of cement, choose high plants with pale flowers alongside its borders.

A guide for paving a way into your home Lifestyle - Even if more expensive than asphalt, interlock offers beauty. There are many types, shapes, colors and textures of interlock. The current tendency is mosaic with its creative motifs. It is easier to correct a design on paper rather than after its completion so plan well ahead as you design on paper according to scale. Remember to check your borders and land markers according to municipal easements and rights of way. First indicate where the house will be located, according to geographical directions. Indicate where the doors and windows will go. Clearly demarcate parking spaces and the main access to the home. Add fixed structures and elements such as trees, fencing, lawn and hedges. Indicate sunny locations for plants and garden. Add elements that need to be paved or made with interlock such as pathways, access roads and sidewalks. Finally, include structures such as terrace, stairs, low walls and supporting walls.

To calculate your budget, estimate how many paving stones will be needed for your project, what tools will be necessary to install and anchor the stones as well as the equipment needed for the overall project. Before putting in the paving stones, first dig out the designated area, prepare the foundations, spread the base, then level off the bed. Once this is done, lay the stones and fill in the gaps. Maintenance is an important part of your project. Regularly check the condition of the paving stones and remove paint, oil or rust stains. You should also deep clean your stones on a regular basis to removed caked-in grime as well as dissolve efflorescence. Remember to rinse it off and make sure everything is very clean before applying a protective coating with a roller brush.

While this latter option will only work with an above-ground pool, it will make it seem like an inground pool. Since they are more affordable, above-ground swimming pools are popular choices with many homeowners. What’s

more, they can be removed or relocated fairly easily. These types of pools can be accessed with either a ladder or directly from a balcony. A more costly option, inground swimming pools can make beautiful additions to a backyard, but they are not easily moved.

Lifestyle - What could be more exciting than deciding to install a swimming pool in your back yard? Since this will probably be the only pool you buy for your home, make sure make the right choice. This means taking your family’s needs and the potential of your yard into consideration. If you plan on doing lots of laps, go for a long, straight pool. If you like to jump off the diving board, opt for a deeper pool. If you have kids, consider a curvy or round pool that will allow them to play various water games. The size of your property and the depth of your pockets will play a determining role in how large a pool you can install. You also need to take into consideration any hydroelectric lines that may be buried under your property as well as any municipal bylaws that require a minimum space around your home and property limits. If your yard is on an incline, you will need to choose between levelling your yard, which might require installing a talus or a low wall, and

News - The Kidney Foundation of Canada’s Eastern Ontario chapter is celebrating its golden anniversary on May 14. The chapter’s territory covers Pembroke, Hawkesbury, Cornwall and Ottawa and was started in 1964. The foundation’s largest fundraiser is the annual Kidney Walk that takes place every summer, but executive director Bruce Hill said he thought it was important to mark the occasion by celebrating the milestones in the treatment of kidney disease. The keynote speaker at the event will be Dr. John Dossetor, the physician who co-ordinated the first twin transplant in the commonwealth. Moira Johnston was admitted to the Montreal Neurological Institute in 1958 with uremic hypersensitive seizures. She was 15. The transplant worked for 29 years until Moira passed away and the donor – her sister Nola – is still alive and will be attending the foundation’s dinner. The dinner is called the Celebration of Hope and will be at the Hampton Inn. “We want it to be a gathering of anyone whose life has been impacted by kidney disease – patients or donors,” Hill said. Canadian comedian Mike MacDonald will perform at the event. The iconic comedian had a liver transplant in 2013 after a two-year battle with hepatitis C. Rabbi Reuven Bulka, well known for founding the annual Kindness Week hosted by United Way and chairman of the Trillium Gift of Life Foundation, will be the MC of the event. Hill said the eastern Ontario branch of the foundation has donated millions to research and support programs for patients in the Ottawa area. Kidney disease is a life sentence he said, often meaning trips to the hospital several times a week for dialysis. “There are five stages to kidney disease, but most people don’t find out they have it until the last stages,” he said. “Then it’s not just a pill to fix it.” The wait list for a new kidney is a long one, and being on dialysis during the wait can have a huge financial impact on patients and their families. Hill said he hopes to raise money for research during the Celebration of Hope dinner. “It’s going to be a fun event, with live and silent auctions, as well as the speakers,” he said. Tickets are $85 and include dinner and wine. They can be purchased at kidney.akaraisin.com.

It could cost more to build or buy a new home as the city reviews what to charge for the cost of increasing services to keep pace with residential and commercial construction.

Development charges for new homes could be on the rise Laura Mueller

PARKS, CHILDCARE, SOCIAL HOUSING

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Adding a few thousand dollars onto the cost of building a new home in Ottawa is what’s necessary to serve a growing city without burdening taxpayers, says Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume. “Quite frankly I don’t think it’s fair to existing taxpayers,” said the planning committee chairman, who made the case for hiking development charges. If approved, the increased fees would represent between three and seven per cent of the cost of a new house, up from 2.5 and six per cent, depending on the type of home and whether it’s located in an urban, suburban or rural area. Development charges pay for the cost related to growth in an area – increased pressure on roads and infrastructure for everything from sewers to parks. It’s usually tacked onto the price of new houses by developers. Transit expansion is a large portion of the development charge, Hume said, adding the city “left no stone unturned to ensure transit projects got the most funding possible.” Developers raised the most concerns about the way money is allocated to transit projects. The city wants to use development charges to fund transit projects in the same way it funds roads, Hume said. “In the long term, growth of the city, in terms of treating roads the same as transit, was of benefit,” he said. Community representatives wanted transit money to be allocated on a local basis. That would make the development charge very high and unaffordable for construction inside the Greenbelt, Hume said. Since transit is concentrated in the city’s core, under a local-charge scheme, downtown residents would be burdened with most of the cost of expanding the system, even though suburban residents put a demand on the service, too. Another change will be made to the city’s approach to exempting some developments from fees. Since 2009, when development charges were last reviewed, the city wrote off $53 million in development charges, which isn’t recoverable, said planning manager John Moser. Now, the city will have to find other ways to make up that loss in development-charge revenue if it grants an exemption – such as getting money from property taxes. “We need to put that money back in. If you don’t have development charges to meet the growth, your projects are in jeopardy,” Hume said.

As previously reported, another change would see developers take over the responsibility of building most new parks in new communities starting Oct. 1. Instead of the city collecting development charges after homes are built and using the money to build parks, developers can build them as soon as they start constructing homes. The parks will still be designed to city standards and large district parks, of which there are four of in the city’s plans, would still be built by the city. The city is also suggesting putting a freeze on collecting development charges for childcare and social housing reserves. There is currently $3.4 million and $1.7 million respectively in those funds now, but the city hasn’t spend the money because of limitations on how it can be used. The province requires the cash to be spent on projects the city builds, owns and operates, which would create a tax burden to maintain and operate the facilities. The city is looking into whether it could use the money to create social housing to be operated by Ottawa Community Housing. Until the legality of different options is determined, the money won’t be spent and the fee won’t be charged. If the city wanted to re-instate that portion of the development charge, it would need to conduct another background study and city council would have to approve the additional fee. The same process would apply if councillors wanted to pursue area-specific development charges for neighbourhoods that are seeing a huge increase in population, such as Little Italy, Coun. Diane Holmes suggested. Coun. David Chernushenko said it might be something to look into for Old Ottawa East, which has a large institutional property slated for redevelopment. Hume said homebuilders said the plan to collectively appeal the changes due to the “magnitude” of the development charge increase. PROPOSED INCREASE IN DEVELOPMENT CHARGES:

• Home inside the Greenbelt: $5,068 increase ($21,959 total) • Home outside the Greenbelt: $5,517 ($30,832 total) • Rural home (serviced): $3,603 increase ($19,685 total) • Rural home (unserviced): $3,374 increase ($17,254 total)

Via accuses city bus of damaging rail crossing City, company trade barbs over cause of safety-gate malfunction Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - City officials were caught off guard on April 29 when Via Rail sent out a press release accusing two OC Transpo buses of failing to stop at rail crossing signals and damaging the gate. The alleged incidents happened on April 25 and April 28. But after Via met with city officials, Mayor Jim Watson called on the company to correct what he said was misinformation Via put out to the media. Via said the second incident caused damage to the gate when it lowered onto the bus, sending the signal into fail-safe mode. But “new information” determined that the bus did not make contact with the rail crossing gate, Watson wrote in a letter to Via CEO Steve Del Bosco on April 29. The fail-safe mode was triggered because another crossing gate at the same intersection was stuck out of position because it made contact with the device’s windbreak – one of the reasons given for re-occurring signal malfunctions when Via gave an update to the city the week before. Via conceded on May 1 that the bus may not have caused the signal malfunction on April 28, but in a press release the company insisted a

video shows the north gate at Fallowfield Road hitting the bus, which had stopped beyond the stop line. The video then shows the bus backing up to the stop line, Via said. Via’s April 28 press release said it has written to Watson and OC Transpo general manager John Manconi asking them to investigate the incidents and “take appropriate measures to avoid their re-occurance.” On May 1 Via re-iterated that it is “unacceptable” for buses to breach the stop line at rail crossings. OC Transpo began investigating the incidents after they came to light through the news media, but it’s the first time anyone at the city had heard of them, said Coun. Diane Deans, chairwoman of the transit commission. “OC Transpo in now investigating these claims,” she said on April 29. “It’s very important to us that we secure all the facts.” After expressing hope about improvements in communication between Via and the city last week, when Via officials came to Ottawa to give a briefing about the causes of ongoing signal malfunctions in Barrhaven, Deans said the way the bus incidents were communicated was a bit of a setback. “I’m just going to view this as a hiccup to our communications and

Aaron Branston of RailTerm said

the key reasons for the ongoing and increasing number of malfunctions at six crossings in Barrhaven were: shifting of the tracks due to excessive water and salt accumulation in the gravel bed they sit on; vibrations from passing trains causing the signals to re-engage after a train passes through; and interference from an increase in electrical loads on nearby hydro lines. Final results from a review provided by an independent engineering firm were expected to be delivered to Via on April 30.

Two weeks ago, Transport Canada lifted the safety order it had placed on four of the six Barrhaven rail crossings that have been malfunctioning. Employees are still stationed at crossings at Woodroffe Avenue and the Transitway and train speeds are still lowered there. Transport Canada’s Rail Safety Week began on April 27. This year, Transport Canada’s grade crossing improvement program will provide $9.2 million for improvements at more than 600 railway crossings across Canada.

Ottawa wrestler to compete at Pan Am championships Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Sports - Augusta Eve latches on to Emma Crouch’s arm, pulling her in close before throwing an arm around her neck. The competitors release each other, before once again tentatively moving in closer, each vying to gain the upper hand, moving at lightening speed to force the other down on the mat. “(Augusta is) always fighting to the end,” said Deborah Jehu, a coach with the National Capital Wrestling Club, which trains out of St. Patrick’s Catholic High School. “And that’s really what makes it between somebody who’s going to be successful or not,” Jehu said of the 17year-old who is in Grade 12 at Hillcrest High School.

Eve also earned bronze

against an older, heavier opponent on the university tournament circuit, which allowed her to shop for universities and wrestling clubs as she prepares to graduate from high school. McMaster University has offered her a scholarship, and Eve has her eye on the University of Toronto, also for chemical engineering studies. The University of Ottawa, which she is considering, doesn’t have a wrestling program.

But because she’s a highly technical freestyle wrestler, she is a force to be reckoned with, adapting easily to her opponents. “She definitely enjoys taking her shots,” Jehu said. “She knows her opponents and can think ahead of time what she’s going to do.” ALL ABOUT THE FUN

Stanley Cup makes appearance at peewee hockey party Raiders spend time with hockey’s ultimate prize as reward for community service Jeff Mackey jeff.mackey@metroland.com

Sports - Despite an early exit in the playoffs this year, the Nepean Raiders Minor Peewee B Black team still spent some one-on-one time with hockey’s highest honour. The team was rewarded for its volunteer work this year by being selected by the Scotiabank Bright Future program to have Lord Stanley make an unexpected appearance at their yearend party at the Nepean Sportsplex on April 30. The look on the players’ faces when they entered the room containing the cup was one of pure disbelief. “I thought it would be one of the (Sens) players or Spartacat, not the Stanley Cup,” said Nathan Lassenba, captain of the team. “I think they (the team) are feeling pretty happy, pretty pumped-up that we get to see the Cup and each other one last time as a team,” said Lassenba. “That is the cool part of the job,” said Mike Bolt, keeper of the Cup with the Hockey Hall of Fame, about the kids’ reaction to their big surprise. “Whether it is a Peewee team like this,

their parents or even the NHL players who compete for it … those guys are as star struck by the Cup as any of us are.” The team was selected for its work volunteering in the community. They participated in both a food drive as well as a toy drive for the Santa Toy Parade this year. “These teams have done something great on the ice but something even greater off the ice so it is a nice reward to bring the Cup to them,” said Bolt. In order to fundraise for the toy drive, players did work around their communities for money which was then used in a shopping spree to buy toys, which were donated to the parade. “They worked really hard this year; on the ice we push them hard and we have fun, but right from the start of the year we asked them to be good people off the ice,” said Marc Frappier, head coach of the team. Still, like a true Ottawa hockey fan, when Lassenba was asked if he would have preferred it if a player had come instead, he said, “It depends which JEFF MACKEY/METROLAND player, if it was Spezza, Karlsson or Neil, like wow, but I did enjoy the Nepean Raiders players were surprised with the Stanley Cup during the minor peewee hockey team’s year-end party at the Nepean Sportsplex on April 30.

When they’re ready for forever homes, OHS adoption staff work to make sure adopters are matched with the right pet for them – and for the animal.

We named her Brighteyes after her friend Lua but also because of the way her beautiful eyes sparkle in the sunlight. She is definitely our fit, athletic kitten who’s quite the acrobat – you should see the way she contorts her body while laying down for a nap. Brighteyes loves to sit in windows to get some sun, but especially to watch the birds go by. She unfortunately taught her adopted brother Sushi to countersurf, but normally stays out of trouble while we are around.

The Ottawa Ice show off gold medals after winning the National Ringette League championship. The coaching staff picked up their own award for top coaches.

Ottawa Ice freeze out the competition Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

Sports - It was an icy finish for the other National Ringette League teams who had to play against Ottawa, this year’s national champions. Not much gets past the Ottawa Ice team, which won the annual championship, held this year in Regina. “Our trademark, I’ve always told the girls, is as long as we play good defense, and are tough to play against, we’ll always be in every game,� said head coach Al Bateman. The annual national awards, given on April 12, the last day of the competition, backed up their defensive game. The top defence award went to Old Ottawa South’s Jenna McBride. The top goalkeeper award went to Carleton Place native Tori Goble, who lives in Old Ottawa South currently. McBride also played with the Canadian national ringette team this year, and went to the world championships, but her home team has been the Ottawa Ice for eight years. “She’s been a top-end player everywhere she’s played,� Bateman said. “She just continues to develop, she gets better every year.� Goble has played with the team for the past five years, and impressed her coaches this year by continuing to improve.

“She just continued to develop at her position,� he said. “By the time we got to the end of the week at nationals, I don’t think there was a better goalie than Tori.� Bateman has some personal bragging rights as well. He, along with his three assistant coaches Jon Love, Jodie Connolly and Erin LePage, were awarded the coaching staff of the year honours. The awards were a bonus for the Ice, which already had won the gold medal game. The NRL is a league for the best players out of minor hockey, with most first-year play-

ers starting at age 19. National Capital region players are drafted to one of three teams – Ottawa, Gloucester and Gatineau – at each year’s annual draft. “This would be the professional league for ringette,� Bateman said. “These are the best players, in the best league.� The players sign a contract that means they play exclusively for the Ottawa Ice, with an exception made for playing for the national team. Other teams in the NRL include Cambridge, Edmonton, Richmond Hill, Calgary, Montreal and Waterloo. Ottawa has been on an upward trajectory in the league. They won the bronze medal in 2012 at nationals, and got beat out in the playoffs last year. The head coach credited it to a strong base of veteran players, and quick development by the newer, younger players. “It’s been a nice development,� Bateman said.

This summer will be a little cooler at Fawn Meadow Park with the addition of a new community splash pad. Construction has commenced and City Staff are expecting the project to be completed by the end of June 2014 (weather permitting). The work over the next couple of months will include site preparation, installation of a water connection, installation of the water spray features, and pouring of concrete. Tree planting near the splash pad will take place during the annual fall planting. For more information on the new splash pad please contact my ofďŹ ce at 613-580-2480 or diane.deans@ottawa.ca Police Week 2014 Police week will be held from May 11 to May 17 in Ottawa and is a used as a way to raise awareness about the range of work that Ottawa Police do to keep our communities safe. As part of the week long occasion the Ottawa Police will be hosting a community event on May 14th between 3:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Heatherington Park (1560 Heatherington Road). This event will bring together the community, Ottawa Police members, stakeholders, and volunteers to showcase the great work that is done to improve neighbourhood engagement. The event will include displays by several Ottawa Police sections, a BBQ, a photo booth, and so much more! For more information on the event please visit ottawapolice.ca. A springtime reminder for our four-legged friends During the spring months, I receive inquiries from residents about pet care and control in our city. I would like to provide a friendly reminder to residents to clean up after their animals so we can keep our parks, trails, and pathways tidy. Leaving animal waste in a park or community garbage bin is prohibited and owners should be disposing of this waste at home. Dogs are also required to be leashed while outdoors, except where permitted. The City provides a number of outdoor facilities that allow our pets to run off-leash and get that much-needed exercise and residents should ensure the area is signed as a “dogs off-leashâ€? park. More information on the Animal Care and Control By-law can be found by visiting the Residents section of Ottawa.ca or by calling 3-1-1.

Spring cleaning brought new life into Mary’s childhood home

T

he signs were everywhere. Our old log house had finally taken on the look of spring, leading into summer. Although any visitor coming into the house would not be aware of the difference, it was very obvious to us who lived there. Outside, the very last smidgen of snow had long since gone. The foot path from the summer kitchen to the barn was now dry, and the mud that followed the melting snow had hardened like it did every spring. Inside, everywhere, I could see the changes that had taken us from one season to the next. Mother had pulled out the strips of rags and old wool socks that had been crammed around every window downstairs to keep out the winter drafts. Of course, these weren’t thrown away. No, they were washed, hung out on the fence to dry, and then rolled in newspapers and tucked under an upstairs bed at the ready for the next winter. The windows themselves, grimy from the long months when they were impossible to clean, were shining from the bath they took of water and vinegar. The windows were ready for the warm weather. When the cold fall weather struck months before, braided mats had been scattered all through the house: one hefty one rolled and kept tight against the

MARY COOK Memories back door to keep out the drafts, many others put here and there, in the hope they would help keep our feet warm from the icy cold floors that were impossible to heat up no matter how raging was the Findlay Oval. And joy, oh joy, the navy blue fleece lined bloomers had one last washing on laundry day, and they too would be tucked away. Of course, they were no longer the deep navy of a few months ago when they were fresh out of the parcel ordered from Eaton’s catalogue. Now they had faded to a pale purple, attesting to the dozens of times they had been washed over the winter. The bloomers would join the suits of long underwear and undershirts helping to keep us warm on long walks to school, and they would be packed in the hump-backed trunk that sat under the west window in the bedroom I shared with my sister Audrey. Of course Father insisted on wearing his undershirt, long sleeves and all, under his work shirt long into the summer. He

gave up this combination only when Mother snatched them off the chair by his bed when he was sleeping, and when the heat of the summer had the rest of us panting. There were no clothes closets in that old log house, and no storage cupboards, and no attic to store things away one season to the next,. Gradually winter outerwear would be hung on the clothes line, or thrown over the wire fence in the back yard to get a good airing, always a chore for a warm sunny day. Then each piece examined by Mother, buttons replaced, seams sewn and spots removed, would be packed into a big cardboard box scrounged from Briscoe’s General Store. Between each piece of clothing, Mother would tuck in a few mothballs. When the box was put in the boys’ bedroom, the whole upstairs smelled of the mothballs. The Findlay Oval would yet be moved out into the summer kitchen. Father thought that

idea was just about the craziest notion he ever heard in his life. “Three generations of Hanemans have lived with the cook stove in the kitchen 12 months of the year,” he’d lament. But Mother insisted the big lumbering stove be moved to the summer kitchen, rolled out by every hand in the house on two logs, the stove pipes taken down, repainted and a smaller portion of pipe poked through a hole in the summer kitchen wall. But the biggest change to me, the one I looked forward to most, was when the parlour would be open for the summer. All winter the door which separated it from the kitchen was closed tightly, a thick braided rug jammed along the bottom of the door to keep out the cold air. You could see your breath in the parlour if you had to go in to get the Bible off the twig table, or the picture album. It was almost like the parlour was no longer part of the house. And now the door was flung wide, the one window opened to get rid of the musty smell, and the house was ready for summer. The last job was done. Spring was upon us, and soon the heat of the summer would penetrate the logs, and after working so hard to keep the house warm over the winter, Mother’s next challenge would be to keep the heat outside, and capture inside what cool air she could.

Steve Desroches Deputy Mayor Councillor, Gloucester-South Nepean

Exploring a P3 Option for Future Recreation Centre This past week, I tabled a report to the City’s Finance and Economic Development Committee asking the City to explore a public-private partnership option to potentially advance a planned recreation facility in southeast Ottawa. A P3 option would allow the City to serve current growth needs and reduce annual operating costs while taking pressures off existing recreation facilities. There are plans in place for a future recreation complex in the Riverside South community that will serve the Leitrim area, Findlay Creek, and Riverside South areas as well as Ottawa’s rural communities. Lands have been set aside to accommodate the recreation facility, however, given the current funding model through the collection of development charges, these plans are still a number of years away. I certainly understand the need to bring a recreation facility to the area and it is the number one question that I receive from fellow hockey parents at the rink. A P3 option could help bring recreational services to southeast Ottawa sooner rather than later. I am interested in hearing feedback from residents on the proposal. To view a copy of the report, please visit www.stevedesroches.ca. Leitrim Road Feedermain Construction Project The City of Ottawa is initiating the Leitrim Road Feedermain construction project. The project is expected to commence construction in the next couple of weeks and be completed in the fall. The project consists of installing a new watermain feed along Leitrim Road, from the old CPR Right-Of-Way to Albion Road, and along Albion Road, from Leitrim Road to Del Zotto Avenue. The feedermain is required to provide additional potable water capacity and reliability for the continued growth in South Ottawa. There may be some minor traffic disruptions for motorists during off-peak hours. Leitrim Sanitary Pump Station Overflow Residents may notice the preparation for construction taking place at Findlay Creek Drive and Kelly Farm Drive for the Leitrim Sanitary Pump Station Overflow project. The project is necessary to provide an emergency overflow for the Leitrim Sanitary Pump Station in case of overflow of sanitary sewers in the area. Please note that there is no risk to the sanitary system in the Findlay Creek community. This is a very common project in areas that are serviced by stormwater management facilities. The infrastructure is mandated by the provincial government where safeguards are put in place to avoid any risk associated with the potential failure of the sanitary system in the area. While such a scenario is remote, it is important that we take these steps as a precaution to protect homes in the area. Construction is scheduled to be completed this summer. To view the plans of this file, please visit my website. Mental Health Awareness Day On Friday, May 16th, St. Francis Xavier High School in Riverside South is hosting their annual Mental Health Awareness Day from 10:45am12:15pm.

This month, the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa (CASO) is celebrating the strength and resilience of approximately 600 children and youth in care. CASO becomes involved with families in the community when there may be a concern that a child or youth is at risk of abuse or neglect. Though 90% of the time children and youth remain within their family home, there are circumstances that may prevent this. Situations may warrant that a child or youth be removed from their home for a short period of time until the environment is improved, some remain in care on an extended basis, and still others are adopted into new families. While their life paths are different than those of their peers, they face many of the same hurdles and challenges, and share the same hopes and dreams. The strength they have developed is admirable.

The market main location was set to open on May 4 at Brewer Park with its satellite locations in Orléans starting up on May 16 and the one in Westboro getting underway on May 17. “After a hard-earned spring, we are looking forward to seeing our customers and returning to the fresh air and green space of Brewer Park,” said Andy Terauds, president of the Ottawa Farmers’ Market Association. “We are excited for spring and all that it brings: fresh air, warmer days, a renewed energy and vibrantly-hued produce.” Even though there has been a late start to spring, Terauds said the crops are not too far behind and local asparagus, rhubarb, ramps (spring onions) and green garlic are only a few weeks away. The market began in 2006 with a mere 19 vendors selling their wares at Lansdowne Park. Today there are more than 130 members and three locations in the city. Tara Simpson, spokeswoman for the association, said the goal of the markets is to ensure the produce and products sold are produced in the Ottawa region. Simpson said she anticipates many customers looking forward to the new season. As in the past, they seem to make going to the market an outing for the whole family, she said. A number of planned events will take place at the markets this year, including a food revolution day, a strawberry social and a tomato festival. “Join us to celebrate the opening of the season at Brewer Park with the great food, arts and crafts from our more than 100 local vendors,” Simpson said.

Will a health crisis tarnish your golden years? Some seniors struggling as savings redirected to health crises Jennifer Bowman, Jessica Cunha and Tamara Shephard

News - Mary wouldn’t call them her golden years. At 75, the Ottawa widow lives tightly on $25,000 a year. Her condominium fees eats up most of her income. There is little cash left over each month after she pays for food, her car, insurance, Internet service and her phone. She receives no income supplement. “Save, save, save. Put money away,” says Mary, who asked not to be identified. She is embarrassed over her dire financial straits. “Save from the time you’re 20. I don’t care if it’s $10 a week. It adds up. It makes all the difference in the world.”

I have to make the payment somehow. I have to make the payment to keep my wife alive. JOHN MITCHELL

She and her husband held down “decent” jobs and raised five children together. But neither had a university degree. That put a ceiling on job and income opportunities, she said, and directly affected their ability to financially prepare for their retirement. Both worked until age 70. Mary is in good health. She receives two small pensions, from her job and her late husband’s work. Without them, she doesn’t know how she’d survive. Canada Pension Plan and Old Age Security (OAS) adds up to only $1,300 a month. “It never crossed my mind,”

Anne Mitchell is looking at a potential cost of $50,000 for chemotherapy drugs that OHIP will not cover. rabine and Rituximab, two very powerful chemotherapy drugs. She received only two treatments before the regime was abruptly stopped because of an adverse reaction to Fludarabine that nearly killed her. Mitchell’s doctor has prescribed Bendamustine, which OHIP will not cover. On April 7, Mitchell used her American Express card to cover the drug’s $4,500 price tag. “I felt complete and utter shock,” her husband John said, describing the reaction to the hefty bill. Moving forward, the Mitchell’s say they don’t really have a game plan to pay for the chemotherapy treatment other than drawing on their life savings and credit. “I have to make the pay-

ment somehow. I have to make the payment to keep my wife alive,” John said. Under Ontario Drug Benefit coverage, seniors over age 65 pay the first $100 of their prescription costs, then $6.11 per prescription under the government program. But many drugs are not covered and are shockingly expensive, reported Susan Eng, vice-president of advocacy with CARP. “A lot of drugs are not covered in the plan and the ones not covered are expensive. In Ontario, people could fall between the cracks,” she said. “Biologics, for example, are very, very expensive.” Biologic drugs are used to treat a wide variety of diseases, particularly conditions that affect seniors, including cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple

sclerosis and diabetes. It’s expected the use of biologics among seniors will grow by approximately 20 per cent in the next decade, the Canadian Generic Pharmaceutical Association reports. Across Canada, dental and vision care are major health costs for seniors, together accounting for more than 75 per cent of their health care spending. They also need funds to pay for other professionals such as chiropractors, massage therapists, physiotherapists and podiatrists. If a senior is retired or works at a job without health insurance benefits, many health costs come directly outof-pocket. One option for retirees is to purchase private insurance, but even that is prohibitively expensive.

Blue Cross health insurance coverage for a 65-year-old Ontario man who is a non-smoker costs $85 a month for basic coverage. That monthly fee jumps to $117 for regular coverage and $147 for extended coverage. Basic coverage includes ambulance service, nursing care, dental work and partial payments towards sessions with a registered podiatrist, physiotherapist, massage therapist and chiropractor. Blue Cross does not cover prescription drugs after age 65 because seniors in this province qualify for the Ontario Drug Benefit. A dental exam and diagnosis costs $65, according to the Ontario Dental Association’s 2014 fee schedule. See HEALTH, page 33 R0012683062-0508

she said of her retirement. “You know it’s coming, but it’s a long way off. Then, all of a sudden, it’s there.” Mary’s retirement experience is a cautionary tale for Baby Boomers, the oldest of which are just turning 65, and for Generation Xers, those born starting in the mid-1960s on the heels of the boomers. Her financial distress in retirement is an all-too-common reality for many of Ontario’s 1.9 million seniors aged 65 or older. In fact, many Ontarians simply cannot afford to retire. Consumer costs, including health care and housing, compel them to work for wages and for health benefits. And in the next 20 years, Ontario’s population of seniors is expected to double. No one knows better how a health crisis can wreak havoc on retirement plans than Brampton’s Anne Mitchell, 67. Mitchell is gearing up for a second battle with cancer. Except, this time, Mitchell is scrambling to come up with $52,000 for chemotherapy treatment not covered by OHIP. “It will wipe out all of our savings,” Mitchell said. “This is a big financial burden. It will wipe out our whole retirement.” Mitchell, a former office manager for a construction company and her husband John, 68, a steelworker, worked in Canada for more than 40 years and planned to fund their retirement with some retirement savings and a government pension. But no one plans for cancer. In 2009, Mitchell was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. Mitchell cannot take Fluda-

Health care costs loom largely over retirement planning Continued from page 31

Need dental X-rays? A complete set of 12 images costs $123. Cleaning and polishing your teeth costs a minimum of $55. If a senior has a crown that needs to be restored, the suggested cost is $685. Root canal therapy begins at $441. Dentures start at $751 for the upper palate and $956 for lower teeth. Seniors 65 and older pay just under $50 for an eye test. Should a senior need a chiropractor, massage therapy, physiotherapy or a podiatrist, those costs are not paid by OHIP. Seniors must pay for those services out-of-pocket or through private insurance. A visit to the chiropractor costs up to $140 for a 40-minute session, the 2014 Ontario Chiropractic Association Fee Schedule suggests. A detailed exam can cost between $140 and $280. A massage delivered by a registered massage therapist costs $38 for 15 minutes and $102 for an hour. Seniors 65 and older may be eligible for publicly funded physiotherapy with a doctor’s referral, the Ontario government’s health services branch reports. A single senior with a yearly net

income less than $16,018 or a senior couple whose combined net annual income is less than $24,175 or a senior on Ontario Works or the Ontario Disability Support Program, living in long-term care or receiving home care pay no deductible and only $2 per prescription filled. Ensuring Ontarians have access to drugs they need regardless of cost is one of 169 recommendations contained in a 2012 report entitled “Living Longer, Living Well,” that’s intended to inform a Seniors Strategy for Ontario. “(We) have to start thinking about how to develop fairer and sustainable financing systems that can still allow us to ensure all Ontarians can access the pharmaceutical therapies they need, regardless of their ability to pay for them,” stated the 198-page report by Dr. Samir Sinha, director of geriatrics at Mount Sinai and the University Health Network hospitals. Ontarians need to consider health care planning in their retirement preparations, advised Bob McGaraughty, a financial security advisor with Freedom 55 Financial in Ottawa. Plan on retiring on 70 per cent of your pre-retirement earnings, he said. “Your health is a big issue. If you’ve

got your health, then your costs are stabilized. If your health deteriorates quickly ... that’s a big (cost),” he said. “If you can’t pay for your medicine, then what do you do?” Then there is the matter of how Ontarians will afford their care as they age. According to Statistics Canada, the median after-tax income for seniors over the age of 65 in 2010 was $26,185. Besides medical expenses, this

If you can’t pay for your medicine, then what do you do? BOB MCGARAUGHTY FINANCIAL SECURITY ADVISOR

money must also cover costs such as housing, food, transportation, social events and communication. Some 92 per cent of Canadian seniors aged 65 and older live in private dwellings, Statistics Canada’s 2011 Census reported. In doing so, this often requires the added costs of installing accessibility aids or hiring a live-in housekeeper. To minimize costs, some seniors choose to open their home to another

person in exchange for light household chores and cheap rent. Seniors living in subsidized housing pay either 30 per cent of their income (rent geared to income) or 20 per cent below market rent (affordable housing), depending on the housing arrangement. What their maximum income can be and how they apply varies by district and municipality throughout the province. In Muskoka, seniors applying for a subsidized one-bedroom unit must be living on less than $29,700 per year. And the cheaper cost comes at a price. There’s a wait list. In Muskoka it’s three to five years, but in Peel, it’s 20 years. Some areas have senior-only subsidized housing which may reduce the wait time, some do not. Others choose to spend their golden years in a retirement home. There are 700 such facilities in Ontario, from townhouses to apartments, providing a variety of services and lifestyles for seniors from living with no assistance to in-home care. At an average cost of $3,204 per unit per month, it’s an expense that’s well above an entire monthly budget of $2,182 for those living on $26,185 or less per year.

When seniors are no longer able to live on their own or require more intensive care than a live-in caregiver can provide, many opt to move into a long-term care home (LTC). A LTC home provides 24-hour services and care and is often where seniors will live out their life. Rates at the homes are regulated by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care at $1,707.59 a month for a basic room with subsidies available from the government. Semi-private or private rooms cost more. In 2011-12, the median time to be on a wait list for a long-term care room was 98 days. Fred’s wife, Doris, moved into a private room in a LTC home last December in Bracebridge, Ont. It costs $2,275 a month. Fred lives next-door in subsidized housing at $650 per month plus utilities. Multiple times a day, Fred joins his wife for meals paid for by the home. How can Fred and Doris afford their care? Fourteen years ago, the couple who will have been married 55 years in June sold an apartment building they’d owned for a decade for approximately $700,000. Fred still owns property in Huntsville: “We’ve still got that to sell if need be,” he said.

The Secret to

Glowing Skin

Training

Beauty is from the inside out and the secret to glowing skin is about nourishing your body. Our top 5 tips to glowing skin are:

Cardiovascular fitness is one of the major benefits of circuit training. Your heart rate remains elevated and sustained above resting level throughout the workout. Both your lungs and hearts efficiency can improve with this training method.

1. Eat Low Glycemic Foods: A high glycemic diet tends to spike blood sugar and insulin which can contribute to acne breakouts. Stick to a whole foods, plant-rich diet low in processed food, sugar and caffeine.

2. Avoid Food Sensitivities & Allergies: There is a strong link between high dairy consumption and skin maladies such as acne and eczema.

3. Sleep On It: Getting at least 8 hours of restful sleep a night will help repair and restore skin; the hours of sleep achieved before midnight are the most effective.

4. Get Your Omegas: Omega 3 fatty acids are inflammation busters and skin lubricators, the perfect ingredient for radiant skin!

Preparation Time: 5 min | Serves: 4 | Serving Size: 1 Fillet 2 lbs salmon, cut into 4 pieces 1 tsp Farm Boy Lemon Garlic Dressing Peppery Mango Salsa 1 small red onion, diced 2 limes, freshly juiced 1/4 cup yellow and red 3 tbsp olive oil peppers, diced 1 avocado, peeled and sliced 2 tbsp zesto pesto or Sea salt and freshly your favorite pesto ground pepper to taste ¼ cup mangos, diced TM

Preheat oven to 350°F. Place salmon fillets on a parchment paper lined baking tray and drizzle with Farm Boy Lemon Garlic Dressing. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until tender. Peppery Mango Salsa: combine onion, yellow & red peppers, mangos, lime juice, olive oil and pesto in a small bowl and mix well. Serve salmon, layer avocado slices on top and garnish with salsa. Use sea salt and pepper to taste.

This form of training also promotes fat loss. Circuit training provides more fat and calorie burning than traditional weight lifting programs. More work is performed in less time, which results in greater caloric expenditure during the workout. Lean muscle mass is also improved which in turn increases your metabolism and allows you to burn more fat throughout the day. The benefits of circuit training are endless, it is a great way to lose fat mass quickly, build strength and tone, as well as improve your heart and lungs.

5. Detoxify: Cleaning from the inside out, helps to keep your hormones in check and a glow to your body and energy!

News - Stephanie St. John is worried about her children’s health if a proposed cell tower is built at 1071 Dozois Rd. Telus has proposed a 35-metre tower for the site that would improve service for customers in Manotick and the surrounding area. The communications giant hosted an open house showcasing the location and the proposed structure at the Greely Community Centre on April 30. A letter was sent out to the neighbouring homes on April 11, advising them of the proposal. “The closest existing structure is 3.1 kilometres away from the proposed tower location. Telus’ closest site is located 3.6 kilometres away,” it reads. “The location of these two sites does not meet the coverage objective.” The antenna would be a 35-metre monopole with a 13-square-metre equipment shelter. St. John, who has a two-year-old and a five-year-old at Manotick Montessori School, came to the open house, armed with information from a University of Trent professor, Dr. Magda Havas, an activist who opposes the installation of cell towers and WiFi networks. “The things she talks about are really scary,” St. John said. “Research actually shows that proximity within two kilometres of cell phone towers actually links to leukemia and brain tumours.” She says Health Canada’s guidelines are based on data from the ’90s and is outdated. Chris Gerritsen, a spokesperson for Telus said before the open house that because of the low frequency of the cell towers they must be relatively close to the coverage area to be effective. “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.” Residents have launched an online petition on change. org that had already garnered 270 signatures by May 2. Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre said he plans to introduce the petition in the House of Commons. Once it’s officially introduced, Industry Canada – who is responsible for approving the tower – will have 60 days to respond. When asked about Health Canada information on radio towers, Poilievre said he would leave that up to the scientists. “Health Canada does world renowned research,” he said, adding his office is available to hear the concerns of the community. Janine Marcotte, owner of the Manotick Montessori School, said she will do whatever she can to fight having a cell tower in her backyard. “It just doesn’t make sense to risk the health of all those kids,” she said. Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson said he hopes to begin a dialogue with Telus about moving the tower to a more palatable location at the northeast corner of Limebank and Mitch Owens roads, across from the Burger and Shake. Rogers proposed tower on Barn Sale Road was relocated to a more industrial area on Bank Street a yearand-a-half ago. “I asked city staff not to approve concurrence on the original site,” he said. “And Industry Canada ceded to the opinion of the city in that case, so I am hopeful we can work something out here.”

CITY OF OTTAWA NOTICE OF A PROPOSED OMNIBUS AMENDMENT TO THE OFFICIAL PLAN In accordance with Section 22(6.4)(a) of the Planning Act and Section 11.(1) of Ontario Regulation 543/06, notice is hereby provided that an official plan amendment proposal is being considered by the Planning and Growth Management Department at the City of Ottawa. LANDS SUBJECT TO THE PROPOSAL This official plan amendment applies city-wide. PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT This Official Plan amendment is proposed as an Omnibus Amendment as it comprises a number of diverse changes to the Official Plan summarised as follows: 1. Corrections to policy changes made by OPA No. 150 and other technical changes OPA No. 150 included a number of administrative and other minor errors that are being corrected by this amendment. Other technical changes correct references to other documents or legislation, such as, Provincial guidelines for stationary noise sources.

News - The message for this year’s Bike to Work month is that anyone can cycle to work for at least part of their commute. Even if people live a bit farther away from their place of work, they could still hop on a bicycle for part of the distance, to reach a transit stop or carpool meeting point, said Kathleen Wilker, who is helping co-ordinate Bike to Work month with the city on behalf of EnviroCentre. The average commute in Ottawa is 7.8 kilometres and a third of workers travel less than five kilometres to work, but only two per cent of people commute by bicycle. Bike to Work month is an effort to promote and encourage cycling as an active and efficient mode of commuting. It’s not only healthier for individuals who bike, it’s healthier for the planet, according to EnviroCentre. If people who could bike to work in 30 minutes or less chose that mode most of the time, it would save an estimated 13.1 million vehicle kilometres each year. As part of the month-long event, Right Bike, an enterprise of the Causeway Work Centre, will offer bicycle safety checks in a trailer positioned on Marion Dewar Plaza in front of city hall every day from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mechanics will offer a maintenance check and can pump tires and tighten chains, as well as advise on what other maintenance should be performed. Individuals or workplace teams that sign up for the Bike to Work month “pedal to win” pledge have a chance to win prizes. Prizes for teams include:

• Bike pumps from Bushtukah • 30 passes to Camp Fortune’s Aerial Park • Dinner for 10 at the Royal Oak of your choice Prizes for individuals include: • MEC Midtown Bike • A selection of Bell helmets from Fresh Air Experience • A cycle chic professional photo shoot for you and your bike from Ottawa Velo Vogue Encouraging employees to bike to work makes sense for businesses, according to EnviroCentre. Companies spend an average of $750 per employee annually to provide a free parking space. Employees at workplaces that implement fitness programs take 27 per cent fewer sick days. Encouraging biking is also a way to attract young talent, according to EnviroCentre. Cycling is becoming the transportation mode of choice for more and more people, particularly millennials who are rejecting car ownership in higher numbers, so providing a workplace that caters to cycling commuters is a way to attract those young workers. For workplaces where employees sometimes need to drive during the day, carpooling or access to Vrtucar car share or Bixi bicycle sharing service could meet those needs. Information on what workplaces can do to encourage and help employees start cycling to work is available at biketoworkottawa.com, by emailing transport@envirocentre.ca or by calling 613-656-0100 ext. 120. That website, as well as the EnviroCentre Facebook and Twitter pages, will be updated with information about Bike to Work month events throughout May.

FURTHER INFORMATION To view the application or any information or materials related to the application, please contact the undersigned planner, or go to the City’s Website ottawa.ca/ opomnibus. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS The City of Ottawa would like to receive any comments concerning this proposal. Please forward comments to the undersigned planner via mail, telephone, facsimile or e-mail by 6 June 2014. Comments received will be considered in the evaluation of the proposal. If you wish to be notified of the adoption of the proposed Official Plan amendment, or of the refusal of a request to amend the official plan, you must make a written request to the City of Ottawa. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting (meeting date, time and location to be determined) or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the proposed official plan amendment is adopted, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Council of the City of Ottawa to the Ontario Municipal Board. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting (meeting date, time and location to be determined) or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the proposed official plan amendment is adopted, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are reasonable grounds to do so.

Bike to Work month kicks off in Ottawa

3. Transportation changes Changes to the City’s Transportation Master Plan occurred after adoption of OPA No. 150 which now necessitates the replacement of Schedules C and J. In addition, recent Environmental Assessments for major roads have recommended different rights-of-way widths and additional changes that could not be included in OPA 150, which now need to be reflected in Annex 1 of the Official Plan.

Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury gives a lift to Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs in a RightBike cargo bike as Citizens for Safe Cycling president Hans Moor looks on. The new bikes are part of an expansion of the free bike-sharing service that was highlighted at the kick-off for Bike to Work month May 1.

2. Source-water Protection, Noise and Interpretation Policies and Schedule K A new Schedule K was previously circulated for comments and will now be incorporated into this amendment with new text that is proposed for Section 4.8.2 Wellhead Protection. The Environmental Noise policies in Section 4.8.7 have been updated to remove outdated references and in Section 5.4 the Interpretation policies for the Plan will identify the City’s “settlement areas”.

Tulip festival activities continue to grow this year Fireworks, free shuttle and community events part of festival itinerary Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

FILE

The Canadian Tulip Festival officially will begin on May 9 with fireworks at Dow’s Lake.

Eastbound Transit Operational Improvements Highway 417 / Pinecrest Road Interchange Notice of Submission – Design and Construction Report THE STUDY The City of Ottawa has retained MMM Group Ltd. to complete the detail design for eastbound transit operational improvements at the Highway 417 / Pinecrest Road interchange. The study area is identified on the map below. The objective of this project is to improve transit service by removing the requirement for eastbound transit vehicles to merge with highway traffic between Pinecrest Road and the Southwest Transitway. The scope of the project includes modifications to the S-E directional ramp and relocation of existing utilities and signage to accommodate ramp modifications. The design of these improvements takes into consideration the ultimate cross-section of Highway 417, which will incorporate four lanes of traffic in each direction.

News - The Canadian Tulip Festival will celebrate this year with a bang. The 63rd annual festival begins on May 9 with fireworks at the festival’s main site at Dow’s Lake. It will be one of the three evenings that the festival organizers have planned to have fireworks. “The plan is this year we want to preview what’s to come,” said spokesman Dave Shaw. “The idea is to make it a signature part of the festival so that when people think of the festival they think of fireworks.” The goal, Shaw said, is to have fireworks every night during the festival in the future. Fireworks will also take place at Dow’s Lake on May 14 and 17. “We plan on it being pretty spectacular,” Shaw said. The tulip festival was established in 1953, years after tulips were being donated from the Netherlands to Canada in 1945, when the Dutch royal family sent 100,000

tulip bulbs to Ottawa as a way of saying thank you for hosting Dutch Princess Juliana and her daughters in exile during the Second World War and for Canada’s role in the liberation of the Netherlands. Each year the Netherlands send 20,000 bulbs. This year’s festival will take place from May 9 to 19 and while spring has come late this year, Shaw said there will be at least half a million tulips on display during the festival. Aside from fireworks, there will be music, dance and cuisine attractions, tulip cycling trips, a circus, an international pavilion, swordplay and an art display representing the Afghan Mission. In recognition and commemoration of Canada’s military mission in Afghanistan, May 9, 2014 has been declared a National Day of Honour by Royal Proclamation. According to the Department of National Defence’s website, a national ceremony will occur on Parliament Hill with veterans of all branches of the Canadian Armed Forces and families. This will be

an occasion to pay tribute to the fallen, the sacrifices of the wounded and the special burden borne by military families. Shaw said the tulip festival will honour veterans by hosting an invite-only event for veterans and their families on the second floor of Lago Bar and Grill. The main floor will be open for the public. TULIP SHUTTLE

New this year, a free hopon, hop-off shuttle service will be made available from Commissioner’s Park to Confederation Square, with stops in the Glebe and Little Italy, thanks to both neighbourhoods’ business improvement areas. “We wanted to offer people the chance to see it all,” said Glebe BIA director Andrew Peck. The shuttle will run daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. with extended service, until 11 p.m., because of the fireworks on May 9, 14 and 17. The Glebe BIA has also ordered 1,000 tulips to be planted along Bank Street. On Mother’s Day, May 11, the Glebe will host a Mad Hatter Tea Party from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and crafts and activities will take place at the corner of Fourth Avenue and Bank Street Mother’s Day weekend.

THE PROCESS While this is a City of Ottawa project, the work is being carried out within the Highway 417 corridor and is following the approved environmental planning process for Group ‘B’ projects under the Ontario Ministry of Transportation’s Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000). The purpose of this notice is to inform the public that a Design and Construction Report (DCR), documenting the detail design, has been prepared and will be available from May 8, 2014 to June 7, 2014 for a 30day public review period. The DCR can be reviewed at the following locations during normal hours of operation: Ottawa City Hall Info Desk 110 Laurier Avenue West Ottawa, ON K1P 1J1

COMMENTS Interested persons are encouraged to review the DCR and provide comments by June 9, 2014.

Produced by the American Museum of Natural History in New York, in collaboration with the nature museum and the Field Museum in Chicago, the show explores the amazing natural phenomena of bioluminescence and biofluorescence. The Museum of Nature’s president, Meg Beckel, said Sunday, June 1st, 2014 she was proud of the collaborative efforts of all three museums.

Centrepointe Theatre releases new performance lineup Jeff Mackey jeff.mackey@metronews.com

Community – Centerpointe theatre have announced their lineup for the new year and there is plenty of variety throughout it to keep people interested. On the comedy front, Centerpointe has pulled together some names audiences are sure to want to check out. Shaun Majumder of This Hour has 22 Minutes will be performing in October, while in February, Saturday Night Live veterans Rob Schneider, Tim Meadows and Chris Kattan will be bringing some star power to the theatre. Also in February, CBC’s comedy radio program The Debaters will make its return to Centerpointe. “The Debaters tapings in Ottawa are the best attended, most appreciated and often most hilarious of anywhere in the country,”

said Steve Patterson, The Debaters host. “If we were invited to tape there every week, I wouldn’t debate that idea.” Highlights for families include the Kratts Brothers, from shows like Wild Kratts, Kratts Creatures and Zaboomafoo, who will be bringing their animal filled show back to the theatre in October as well as a performance from Jim Henson’s Sid the Science Kid Live! in November. For music fans Randy Bachman’s Vinyl Tap Tour and Great Big Sea’s Alan Doyle will be making stops at the Nepean theatre. Also in the lineup are Pittsburgh’s Squonk Opera, a dance-filled All the Right Moves production and the GO Roadshow, among other performances. The theatre says this drastic variety in their lineup been getting a strong response and they

chose to continue it this year. “We changed our Centrepointe Theatres Presents programming drastically this past season and patrons responded,” said Allan Sansom, artistic producer and manager of Centrepointe Theatres. “Thus far, 11 of the 18 main stage offerings in the 2013-14 season have sold out and the two shows still remaining look like they will as well.” For more information you can go to www.centrepointetheatres.com or call the box office at 613-580-2700.

Top dogs compete in Ottawa More than 100 K9 officers attend seminar and Iron Dog competition in Kanata Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

News - With tails wagging and fur flying, one of the largest police dog seminars in Canada ended with a K9 competition to find the country’s top dog. The Ottawa police service hosted the largest Canadian Police Canine Association seminar in the group’s history, with more than 100 of North America’s top dogs attending on May 1. The seminar, which aimed to have K9 units across the country share their training and experience, took place over four days at the Bonnenfant Centre in Dunrobin. The seminar wrapped up with the Iron Dog competition – an intense obstacle course for dogs and their handlers which took place at the Connaught Range and Primary Training Centre in Kanata. Dozens of dogs and their partners waded through muddy water, crawled through pipes and made their way ADAM KVETON/METROLAND over various other obstacles, often A police dog and his partner grimace as they crawl through a section with handlers having to lift and coax of the Iron Dog competition at the Connaught Range and Primary their canine counterparts through Training Centre in Kanata on May 1. some parts of the course.

But all of that is part of the daily routine for K9 unit officers and their dogs, said Ottawa police Sgt. Jamie Soltendieck, Ottawa’s K9 program co-ordinator and one of the main organizers of the seminar. “It’s a fun event that we put on usually at the end of the week so the dogs can get out and burn up some

energy,” he said. “It’s all stuff that you encounter on a daily basis when you are working in operations with your dog.” Though competition is friendly, Soltendieck said everyone there is out to be “top dog.” The Canadian Police Canine Association is the largest police canine group in Canada, though its base tends to be in western Canada, said

Soltendieck. Holding the largest seminar in the association’s history in Ottawa was a big step in bringing more central and eastern Canadian K9 units into the fold, he said. “The CPCA has a strong base in western Canada. It’s always been that way. We’ve had some agencies from Ontario in it over the years, but we wanted to work hard to try to bring it further out east, to Ontario and beyond, so I think by all accounts it looks like we’ve been affective at doing that.” The seminar was likely a success thanks to the instructors who came out, said Soltendieck. While instructors from across the country came to lend a hand, many from the U.S. came as well. The seminar offered several training opportunities including medical training for major canine trauma, the use of newly developed camera technology for police dogs, narcotics and explosives tracking and more. K9 units will be taking what they’ve learned to help improve their programs and use their dogs more safely and more effectively in their home cities. As for the winners of the Iron Dog competition, Soltendieck wouldn’t say. “All of our participants took something of value from the seminar and were winners,” he said.

Native Studies class at St. Peter bringing new awareness Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

Arts - Students at St. Peter High School are learning the standard artistic skills of painting, weaving and sculpturemaking – but with an added cultural infusion. Students in the Native Studies Arts class have been learning their skills the First Nations, Inuit and MĂŠtis communities. Other classes at the school may have a native studies focus for a certain unit, but this is the first time the school has ever offered an entire class on the subject. “I’m native, so I thought it would be cool to teach others about my culture,â€? said Grade 9 student Celeste Beauchamp. “And I’ve learned a lot about different cultures. There are several Aboriginal students in the class, said teacher Carol Bergeron, but the program is designed for students of all cultures. Several Aboriginal students that attend St. Peter, but aren’t a part of the class, have come in to speak or help with specific projects. St. Peter has the most selfidentified Aboriginal students of Ottawa’s Catholic second-

ary schools. That means other schools could have more, but the 33 of St. Peter’s Grade 1,680 students in grades 7 to 12 are the most in the city who have identified themselves as being Aboriginal. Bergeron said she was happy to take on the course, because she “tries to include people who don’t always have a place to go, and celebrate who they are.� The school also has an after-school group for Aboriginal Grade 9 to 12 students. “It’s interesting to see how many people from all over Canada can end up at one school,� said Celeste. The arts class is hoping to promote more Aboriginal cultures, and started by hosting an Aboriginal Awareness Week last week. The week had different art projects displayed each day of the week in the school’s atrium. Bergeron said the class received a $1,000 Speak Up grant, which are to “actively advocate for a community.� Eventually, she’d like to see the week grow into a formal Aboriginal Awareness Month, celebrated like Black History Month.

BRIER DODGE/METROLAND

Native Studies Arts students, from left, Liam Houlston, Brock Harrison-Priddle, Guillaume Cloutier, Andrea Ramsay and Molly Lencewicz show off a piece of art, a Medicine Wheel. The art was displayed last week at St. Peter High School during Aboriginal Awareness Week. The students are all part of the Native Studies Arts class at the school. As well as displaying art throughout the school’s atrium for the week, students were also exposed to native prayers. The first piece of art displayed was a medicine wheel, a pinwheel made of crossstitched felt. The four colours, black, white, yellow and red, are the traditional colours that are used

in both northern and southern Nations, said student Molly Lencewicz. They represent several non-tangible things, such as the four seasons, or four fathers. “I was really interested in learning more about Native culture in our community,� Molly said. “And what we could do to raise more awareness.�

Another artist in the group that made the medicine wheel, Andrea Ramsay, said she signed up for the course because it was something different and new at the school. In another project, students from all grades are working on an archway that will be displayed in the art department for the remainder of the school

year. It has a variety of cultures represented on it, including St. Kateri Teckakwitha, the first Aboriginal saint. Celeste said she hopes that course stream can continue to highlight different cultures at the school. “A lot of cultures are expressed proudly throughout our school,� she said. R0012669653

Manotick teen heading to Kenya for construction of all-boys school Teen honoured with National Caring Citizen award Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Mitch Kurylowicz already has more travelling under his belt than most adults. The 16-year-old Manotick teen and student at Ashbury College had been to Kenya twice by the time he was in Grade 8. It was then that he decided he would build a school. He said he was flabbergasted flying over the ghettos and seeing the level of poverty. Despite those circumstances though, he was even more surprised at the generosity of the people. “I was inspired,” he

F

said. He visited Africa after raising funds for Free the Children projects with his school. “I had already been to Kenya in 2007 and seen the work that Free the Children does,” he said. “But the focus tends to be on building schools for girls, but to really change things boys have to be educated as well.” When Mitch returned to Kenya with his parents in 2011 he said he was inspired to help out. “I think because I was going into high school it resonated with me that if I was from Kenya my education would be done,” he said. So when he got back to Canada he started working on Project Jenga. The project, which has raised $1.5 million since 2011, will build a boarding school for boys in the rural village Mitch visited with his parents.

Project Jenga has the backing of Free the Children and its founders Craig and Marc Kielburger and started with a gala in Toronto in 2011 that netted $20,000. Last April actor Martin Sheen attended the project’s event – held just after National Me to We Day – and organizers managed to raise $50,000. “With sponsorships and everything that took us to $130, 000,” Mitch said, adding it changed the goal of the project. At this year’s National Me to We Day on April 9 Mitch was awarded the Caring Citizen Award from the Governor General. He was nominated by other volunteers with Free the Children for his tireless work with Project Jenga. “I was very surprised to be nominated,” Mitch said. “It was quite an honour to be on stage with David Johnston.”

And his work isn’t done. Originally they were just going to raise $200,000 to refurbish an existing building to put the school in. “With the success we had we decided we could build a whole school with dormitories,” he said. Mitch will be going to Kenya in August to break ground on the new school. He said he expects it to be up and running in the next three years. After that, Mitch said he will start to work on getting sponsors to help make sure the boys in the village will be able to attend the new school. “After that I might start to do some work in India,” he said, adding he recently visited the country and was struck by the poverty he found there.

MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

Xavier Poore spends his time watching how the water flows during an open house at his daycare centre, the Vanier Cooperative School Age Program on April 23.

Vanier daycare co-op makes big switch Twenty-four spots available for children ages two to five years old Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - A co-operative daycare in Vanier is about to undergo some major changes. The Vanier Cooperative School Age Program has operated as a non-profit, cooperative childcare centre in Vanier for the past 28 years but starting this September the co-operative will switch to take in only pre-school children aged two to five years-old. The daycare, is located at Assumption Catholic School, in a completely separate area,

with its own kitchen, washrooms and outdoor space. The switch, said co-ordinator Kathy Arsenault is partly because daycare has changed in Ontario, based on the provincial government creating full day kindergarten, which Assumption will have in the fall. The centre has been slowly planning for the switch, which began to accept a few pre-school children in 2012, but the final change is planned for September 2014. To fill the gap from those children who are currently having child care at the cooperative, Arsenault said the Catholic School Board will start to offer extended care before and after school. “We needed to ensure that we could continue to operate for another 30 years,� Arsenault said. “On one hand we were excited to make the change, on the other it felt like a eulogy.� Arsenault added it’s a big change and deal for the cen-

tre, which will be losing many of its children and gaining at least 24 new faces. The daycare held an open house on April 23 for parents and their children to visit, to learn more about the centre, as well as have the opportunity to sign up or meet Arsenault and the rest of the staff. “We want both parents and the children to feel comfortable,� Arsenault said. The co-operative daycare runs on the philosophy of parents helping parents with their child’s care. The centre’s board of directors is comprised of both staff and parents, who build the curriculum and programs together. All parents interested in registering for licensed childcare must first ensure their child’s name is on the city’s centralized waiting list. Call 613-238-3605 or visit childcareinformation.ca To find out more about the co-operative daycare email vaniercoop@bellnet.ca.
