News – Triceton McSheffrey bounds out of school and races over to his one-year-old twin brother and sister with a grin. The seven-year-old tickles his little sister’s armpits. “Oh, there’s the smile,” he coos, before planting a wet kiss on her cheek. Two of Triceton’s schoolmates walk over, peppering him with questions about little Brie and Jace McSheffrey Premdas. “Is this the one that likes chewing on her feet?” one little girls asks. “They’re wearing cute little shoes,” another girl pipes up. Amy McSheffrey smiles at the familiar stream of comments. The south Ottawa resident has been approached countless times in the grocery store and on the street by adults and

children curious about her twin babies. Her stroller is swarmed every morning when she drops her oldest son at school. Other parents of multiples – twins, triplets and quadruplets – understand this experience, said McSheffrey, a member of the Multiple Birth Families Association of Ottawa and Gatineau. The non-profit volunteer-run organization, which was established in 1961, provides support services and social activities, ranging from prenatal education classes to playgroups and outings and moms’ and dads’ nights out, for 350 member families with multiples, who live as far away as Montreal and Kingston. McSheffrey, who has regularly attended the association’s playgroups, is planning to take her children to a celebration for families of multiples that will be hosted by the group on June 1 at Brewer Park. The event will mark National Multiple Births Awareness Day on May 28, which coincides with the birth of the Dionne quintuplets – the first identical set of quintuplets to survive beyond infancy – on May 28, 1934. “It’s great to talk to other moms who are dealing with the exact same things at the exact same time,” said McSheffrey. “We have a different perspective on things.” Life with multiples is a juggling act – lugging two car seats into a store, pushing a double stroller, as well as buying two of almost everything, from potties to high chairs. “Who needs to go to the gym?” McSheffrey quipped. “When you have to get three kids ready and out of the house, you have to have everything planned out.”

‘We realized when we joined we were not alone’: parent Continued from page 1

As the parents of seven-year-old twins, Karina and Andrew, and nineyear-old Edward, Olga Kutikov can relate. The Craig Henry resident and her husband Dmitry joined the association two months after their twins were born. “It was a lifesaver,� said Olga, president of the association, which is one of the largest Canadian chapters of Multiple Births Canada. “To me, when we found out that we were having twins – that was the biggest thing – how were we going to handle it, because there are only two of us and there were going to be three of them.� While most association members have twins, 17 families have triplets, two have quadruplets and about three families each have two sets of twins. “We realized when we joined we were not alone,� Olga said. “It kind of gives you this relief that there are other people who are going exactly through the same stages as you are and you get ideas of how to deal with it, how to survive.� The biggest draw for members is the twice-yearly sale the group hosts, allowing members to sell used equipment, clothes and toys. Though the event is open to the public, mem-

bers get first crack at purchasing items from others in the group. Though her twins are older now, Olga continues to attend the group’s moms’ night out events and her husband enjoys the dads’ nights out. “You go there, meet other mothers and you ask your questions,� Olga said. “And then I would come home and I would say, ‘Ok, I’ve got some ideas. Let’s try this.� The group also welcomes soonto-be parents of multiples. One expectant mom was relieved the others at the moms’ night out event didn’t dole out advice as her friends with single babies did. “She said, ‘None of you said, you need, you should. All of you said, I tried this and it worked for me. None of you said that I have to do something,’� Olga explained. “When she said that, I said, ‘That’s exactly right. That’s what we’re there for. We’re here to help you.’� Families of multiples are welcome to attend the association’s gathering on June 1, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Brewer Park, located at 100 Brewer Way. There will be special guests, balloons and a cake-cutting ceremony, and popcorn and drinks will be available for purchase.

Canadian Tradition becomes an Ottawa Institution

The School Dance presents an eclectic performance at the National Arts Centre Saturday June 7 showcasing the students with special guest composer James Wright and Ottawa’s Cantiamo Girls Choir. For tickets or more information, call The School of Dance at 613-238-7838 or email to admin@ theschoolofdance.ca. Photo by D. Brian Campbell.

It’s been a lifetime of love and devotion for Merrilee Hodgins and her colleagues at The School of Dance in downtown Ottawa. “We started with three people and 75 students,” recalls Artistic Director Hodgins from her behind her cluttered but organized desk at the helm of the centre. “Today we’re a hub for creative expression, from dance to music and visual arts.” Founded in 1978 by Merrilee and Joyce Shietze, Celia Franca, a long-time friend and artistic colleague, joined in 1979 as Co-Artistic Director. Founder of the National Ballet of Canada and co-founder of the National Ballet School, Franca helped to establish The School’s unwavering standards of excellence and the stage was set for The School of Dance to grow into the world class arts education institution it is today.

Ballet Programme Director Mary Ross helps her students master their art.

It was Merrilee’s love for ballet that led her from childhood dance recitals to managing one of the most thriving and productive dance schools in the country. “I saw my first ballet when I was four and I was immediately hooked. I knew that would be my world.” With the support of her family, Merrilee moved from her Alberta home to follow her dream. She trained and performed in England, Denmark and Germany as well as United States and Canada. By 23, she was ready to stop living her life from a suitcase. When she discovered Ottawa in the early 1970s, she knew she was home. Settling in the nation’s capital led to the opportunity to open a school of dance with the support of some of her professional mentors. “I always loved to teach but I never liked math,” she said. “My father always told me that you can’t be a dumb dancer, you have to be skilled in communications at all levels. So with 6

perseverance and tremendous support I have learned how to run a successful school through experience.” With more than 35 years of success to help choreograph its future, The School of Dance is a vibrant testimony to the commitment and dedication of Merrilee as well as the three full time and 53 contract teachers, musicians, choreographers, artists and volunteers who keep the place on its toes seven days a week. Now housed in a classic former school at 200 Crichton Street in old Ottawa east, The School of Dance has more than 1,000 active members studying dance and physical expression at all levels from novice to advanced. The student population covers every ward in the City of Ottawa, plus 67 Ontario communities, as well as all other provinces and 14 countries. The audition-based, professional dance training programs in ballet and contemporary dance produce graduates who are working as teachers,

independent dancers and choreographers and/ or dancing with companies around the world, including Toronto, Montréal, Vancouver, Calgary, England, Holland, Sweden, Germany, and the United States. “We are truly a training institution,” points out Merrilee. “Our professional classes teach the language of dance. Students want knowledge and want to be able to do something with what they learn. You can’t duplicate the benefits of working with a master to help you release the artist within.”

Contemporary dance classes move through their motions under the supportive and watchful eye of guest choreographer Melanie Demers.

Young adults attend the school at the postsecondary level to pick up certified collegelevel accreditation in contemporary dance. Recognized in Ontario as a Private Career

College and Seminary of Learning, The School has 20 full-time students in contemporary dance and another 110 in ballet. “An important sub-unit of our arts education work is DanceONTour, a program which represents The School’s commitment to quality arts education for school children in Ottawa and Eastern Ontario. “Another important component of our physical culture is our Artists in Residence Program. The School currently has three choreographers and four visual artists in residence; their interaction with the students creates a stimulating and exciting atmosphere.” She readily admits that her passion, and that of more of it.” her colleagues, is infectious.

And though her days are filled with laughter and lighthearted activity, everyone understands that running a charitable facility with a budget of more than $1 million annually is no joking matter. “We have to make tough decisions all the time, every penny counts around here,” she admits. “But we all are committed to doing whatever it takes to succeed.

Seven contenders have been invited to participate in a debate presented by the Canterbury Community Association, with support from the Faircrest Heights Community Association, the Alta Vista Community Association and the South East Ottawa Community Health Centre, on Thursday, May 29, from 7 to 9 p.m. The Canterbury association organized a similar debate prior to the Ottawa South byelection last year, after former premier and OttawaSouth Member of Provincial Parliament Dalton McGuinty stepped down. During that debate on Au-

gust 1, 2013, organizers were stunned when 300 people showed up to the Canterbury Community Centre, which had enough seats for 160 people. For this reason, they decided to hold the May 29 debate in the auditorium at Hillcrest High School, which holds 700 people – not that they’re expecting to fill every seat. “Once again, given the fact that it’s Dalton McGuinty old riding, I think it’ll be pretty hotly contested, as the election will be,” said Jean Cloutier, president of the Canterbury Community Association. “If we can match last year’s number I would be very happy,” said Cloutier, who will be moderating the May 29 event, as he did at the 2013 debate. The Canterbury association’s volunteer executive took it upon themselves to host the debates “to give people the opportunity to participate, and not just by once a

year and putting their ‘x’ (on a ballot), but by participating in the community,” Cloutier explained. The debate will feature opening statements from candidates and opportunity for questions from the debate’s sponsoring organizations. Audience questions selected by random draw will also be permitted. “I hope there’s some answers that stretch out there with (what) the candidates feel and want to do, and what their hopes and aspirations for the people they purport to serve are,” Cloutier said. The event is meant to give residents in the riding the chance to understand the key election issues, as presented by the political contenders. “People vote for different reasons. They vote on the basis of local issues or provincial issues. They vote on the basis of the local candidate or the (party) leader,” Cloutier said, adding they also vote on the basis on economics, social programs, and even how their parents have voted. “I just want them to vote, and (gain) exposure to the candidates, asking questions,

Discovering Ottawa’s Jewish community during Doors Open Ottawa By Jenna Guilbeault

The Ottawa Jewish Archives, nestled between Carlingwood and McKeller Heights, is an organization that is part of the Jewish Federation of Ottawa. It specializes in the collection and preservation of materials that document the history of Ottawa’s Jewish community, and makes them available to the public. “We have a very interesting collection, and a lot of people don’t even know we exist,” said Emily Leonoff, archivist and conservator at the Jewish Archives. With assistance from the Ottawa Jewish Historical Society, founding archivist Shirley Berman first opened the archives in 1969. In 1984 the Jewish Community Centre on Chapel Street was home to the archives, and in 1998 it was relocated to its current residence in the Joseph and Rose Ages Family Building, part of the Soloway Jewish Community Centre at 21 Nadolny Sachs Private. Since 1999, the Jewish Federation of Ottawa has assumed responsibility for the archives, maintaining and preserving documents, records and photographs collected over the years. While there remains missing information and gaps in the community’s history, the Ottawa Jewish Archives has collected over 25,000 text records

and 8,500 photographs, all donated by local residents, businesses and organizations. The materials detail the community’s history, which began in Lowertown in the 1880s. Records from individuals, families, businesses, educational institutions, congregations and community organizations have been preserved. As some of the material is over a century old, Leonoff says, “We often have to do a lot of repair work on the documents that come in, especially if they’re going to be on display.” Some of Ottawa’s well-known families can be found in the archives, such as the Kardash family who founded the Rideau Bakery in 1930. “We have a lot of family history documents stored here, and I encourage people to come check it out,” added Leonoff. “You never know what you might discover.” On June 7 and 8, 130 of the city’s most historically, culturally and functionally significant buildings, many of which are not normally open to the public, will roll out the welcome mat during Doors Open Ottawa. For the first time, the Ottawa Jewish Archives will be one of them. The city’s largest and most anticipated architectural event is free to attend, offering unique experiences for people of all ages.

Doors open at 6 p.m. Round two A second debate in the Ottawa South constituency is scheduled for Monday, June 2. Four candidates from the Green, New Democratic, Liberal and Progressive Conservative parties have been invited to take part in a candidates’ town hall meeting. The political contenders will give opening statements, followed by a question-andanswer period during the moderated event. The town hall, hosted by the Muslim Co-ordinating Council of the National Capi-

Learning to be great again

I

t’s time Ontarians got the plan for the future they deserve, and one they can be proud of. A large number of democratic election campaigns focus on the challenges facing the populace that happens to be voting at the time – only a handful have the luxury of deciding what to do with good fortune. Politicians direct their energy towards any number of issues: health care, education, energy, crime, immigration, the economy. The priority depends on the point of view. Incumbents tend to take a longer view, as think they’ve done a good job up until now and want to look to the horizon to see what other great things can be accomplished. Those who sit in opposition or are seeking office look for things gone wrong or what they feel the public is clamouring for. In Ontario, much of this year’s campaign has been focusing on the economy and how it can be put back on the path to prosperity. Some want to spend their way to success, others want to cut spending to bring back the good times. The deficit and debt play a significant role in the conversation, with each party pledging to put Ontario back in the black sometime in the near future. What most of these schemes lack is a focal point, something basic within the mandate of a provincial

government on which to rebuild our society from the smoking crater it now finds itself in. What should Ontario’s next government focus on to make this a good place to live? The answer should be academic: education. The benefits of a sound education system are numerous, but there are several reasons why it should be a priority for the province. First, in order to continue the transition away from a manufacturing-based economy, education becomes much more vital for the residents of Ontario. Arresting the decline in Education Quality and Accountability Office standardized mathematics scores in particular, representing skills important in fields such as engineering, medicine, information technology and financial services, should be among the priorities. Second, a more educated population not only earns more and therefore pays more taxes (helping reduce the deficit), but is attractive to investors looking to start up a business or international firms looking to set up shop. Third, a focus on education can only help encourage those who may lack the skills or training to find a job get back in the learning habit. A culture of education can beget more education. If there’s one thing you should be asking candidates who come to your door, it should be: “What’s your plan for education?�

Apathy? Perhaps it’s just a sign of contentment

t will be interesting to see what turnout is like in the June 12 provincial election. To no one’s surprise, the party leaders are treating the election as if it were a matter of life or death for the province. But few Ontarians see it that way. You want life and death? Take a look at the elections in Ukraine, or India, or South Africa. In those places, democracy is in a more brittle state than it is here. Different parties will take their country in wildly different directions. Losers take it less well than they do here. The possibility of violence is never far away. The survival of democracy is less certain. Whereas here? Your party, whichever it is, could lose, could be wiped out and yet your day-to-day life would not be affected much. Ask a federal Liberal. Ask a federal Conservative after 1993. There is a broad consensus on how far government can go and no one deviates from it. The result is that changes of government, while they make some people quite unhappy, don’t make a fundamental difference. The schools and hospitals and the police continue to function. Those who disagree are not thrown in jail. The sun rises and sets over a peaceful province.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town Many people hated the Progressive Conservative government led by Mike Harris, but the province survived, just as it survived Bob Rae and Dalton McGuinty. Those were three men with quite different visions, yet the province could accommodate all of them without breaking apart. Federally it is the same. Even for all the Harper haters out there, life hasn’t changed appreciably. When the federal Conservatives run for re-election next year, they may win, they may lose. You don’t know. But you can bank on the fact that voter turnout will be about the same. In other words, not high. Those who are struggling for higher voter turnout are doing noble work and more power to them. But much of the apathy they face is born out of contentment.

People like their lives and don’t think they are threatened, even if the bad guys win. So, in a peculiar kind of way, low turnout shows that the system is working, that we have social peace. If things were really horrible, more people would be turning out to vote for change. If we did not have social peace, there would be fighting in the streets. We don’t have that. We have people staying at home watching TV instead of going to the polls. While that’s better than fighting in the streets, it’s clearly not good. Some experts blame low turnout on political parties failing to be relevant to voters, especially young voters (or non-voters). Maybe. Or maybe potential voters are bored with the same names showing on the ballot year after year. That might apply around here. Or maybe potential young voters would be more inclined to get involved if the schools did a better job of teaching how our democracy works and what elections and political parties are all about. The fact that the sun will still rise on the morning after the election does not mean there will not be change. The lack of blood in the streets does not mean nothing is at stake.

Decisions made by the provincial government have quite an impact on the city. Ask the parents whose kids are enrolled in fullday kindergarten. Ask the low-income people who are waiting for housing. Ask all of us who have been waiting and waiting and waiting for those LRT trains to start running. We have the luxury of being apathetic. That’s nice for us in a way, given some of the alternatives. But apathy also opens the way for politics to become the preserve of fanatical few. Then when things go bad we will wonder why nobody did anything to stop it.

Capital Muse Nigeria and Mexico. The only country that received a lower score than Canada was Scotland, where deep-fried Mars bars in front of the television is considered normal after school activity. Mozambique and New Zealand came out on top, with B grades for both. While it may seem counterintuitive at ďŹ rst glance, Active Healthy Kids Canada found that despite Canadians being big spenders on organized sports, and maybe even because of it, Canadian kids are lagging behind when it comes to physical ďŹ tness. Because of our reliance on organized activities to keep our kids ďŹ t, Canadian children are not engaging in spontaneous active play, suggests the report. Overscheduled lives and helicopter parenting has

increasingly meant that kids aren’t spending their free time running around the backyard, but more likely on the couch with a screen in hand. Sedentary behaviour isn’t just endemic for adults in this country, but for kids too. Canadian children ages 12 to 17 spend 9.3 hours per day in sedentary activity. So what to do? Active Healthy Kids Canada believes we need to change the way we think about children’s ďŹ tness. For one, we need to rid ourselves of the notion that video games – even active ones – can offer any beneďŹ t to our children’s health. They don’t, says the organization.

Re: Want to help the environment? Stop protesting pipelines, Ottawa South News, May 15. Just a thank you to columnist Brynna Leslie for writing her opinion on pipelines. I fully agree that pipelines are the safest way to transport oil and gas. I did

attend the open houses that Energy East held recently in Pembroke, North Gower and Cornwall. They were very informative as to how they build the pipelines, and how they leave the land after they bury them. I even heard one farmer wishing they would cross his land as his neighbour is

fortunate to be getting a nice cheque from TransCanada and he can still farm the land with no problems. The company certainly has me believing that they do everything possible to make sure that pipelines are built with a safety-ďŹ rst attitude.

ver the winter, I signed my boys up for an indoor sport at a gym. Although they played outside in the snow, skated and did other winter sports, they were really excited to have the opportunity to have a space to run. They were due to be disappointed. They tore across the gym that ďŹ rst day, only to hear the coach say, “No running, please.â€? They weren’t allowed to run in the gym, not that day, nor the weeks following. In fact, many of the hours of â€œďŹ tnessâ€? I paid for were spent standing on the sidelines and waiting their turns. So I wasn’t surprised at the latest ďŹ ndings from Active Healthy Kids Canada. The organization released its annual assessment of children’s physical activity levels just after the May long weekend, for the ďŹ rst time also comparing Canadian children to those in 14 peer countries. Appallingly, when it comes to physical ďŹ tness in children, Canada is almost at the bottom of the pack. In a grade-level scoring, Canada received a D-, lower than England, South Africa,

cent of parents surveyed said their kids are always driven to school, either by bus or car. Finally, we need to just let the kids play. Studies have shown that allowing children to play unsupervised, particularly in a natural environment, not only boosts their creativity, but their physicality as well. We have an abundance of urban park land and national park space in close proximity, not to mention two rivers and public beaches. Parents do have a role to guide their children’s physical activity sometimes, too. There are a lot of ways to get active as a family. Last summer, my husband installed a military-grade climbing rope attached to the tree in our backyard. We all attempt to climb it daily. But there are simpler and less expensive things you can use to encourage family ďŹ tness: skipping ropes, running shoes, hiking boots, or even a soccer ball. Getting kids to ďŹ t physical activity into their lives requires adults ďŹ tting it into theirs. I know a number of people who do running training with their children.

‘All-inclusive’ lineup planned for 20th Folk Fest Organizers hoping to draw 50,000 festival-goers Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Arts - After securing musical acts ranging from Lorde and Blue Rodeo to The Wiggles and Fred Penner, organizers of the Ottawa Folk Festival say the five-day event will feature something for multiple generations of people. “We have made it a lot more inclusive,� said A.J. Sauve, Ottawa Folk Festival spokesman. “(Folk Fest is) not a narrower demographic because it appeals to young people, especially with The Wiggles (drawing in) people from four and six years old all the way up to 50-plus years old.� Festival-goers who follow the folk scene and its storytelling singers and songwriters will also be satisfied throughout the festival, which happens Sept. 10 to 14 at Hog’s Back Park. The event turns 20 this year. “More discerning fans will be familiar with the music of The Milk Carton Kids or Foster the People,� Sauve said. “It’s not names that jump right off the map as household names.� A dozen local acts, including Craig Cardiff, High Waters and Lora Bidner, have already signed on. “There’s at least a fifth of the pro-

gramming that is dedicated to local acts, since there’s about 50 or 60 acts coming in,â€? Sauve said, adding this signals Ottawa’s music scene is on the map. “I opened a bar called the Rainbow Bistro back in 1984 – it’s a live-music venue here in Ottawa – and I remember when people would call and say, ‘Where’s the band from?’ and if you said, ‘From Ottawa,’ it was like ‘Aww.’ Now if you say a band’s from Ottawa, there’s a really strong music scene in Ottawa.â€? Both free and paid festival programming will be available at the park, separated by a bicycle path that cuts through the green space. Two stages, as well as several food trucks and a large beer tent showcasing several craft beers, will be located on the free side, while three stages of musical talent will be available for paid pass holders elsewhere in the park. “Food trucks have really caught on in Ottawa ‌ so we’re having a food truck rally,â€? Sauve said, adding a variety of food will be available for purchase on Saturday and Sunday. The weekend lineup will also feature an interactive element with artist panels, tutorials, and a question-andanswer period.

“We’re going for a more interactive approach which we think will be more compelling,� Sauve said, adding that people will likely enjoy hearing two artists talk to each other about touring, as well as singing and songwriting, among other topics. “This can be sort of a two-way engagement, so really cool,� the spokesman said. Organizers have also planned this year’s lineup with children and families in mind. In addition to children’s entertainers taking the stage, the event will feature a KidZone on the weekend, including more than 100 instruments at a touch-and-try musical petting zoo, a parade and dance tent activities. Given the diverse acts and activities planned, organizers are hoping to attract 50,000 people this year, about 10,000 more than last year’s festival. “Last year, we had 8,000 a day which was really a big leg up from what Folk Festival used to do,� said Sauve. “We did more in one day than they used to do in a whole festival.� After taking over the operation of the Ottawa Folk Festival from previous management and relocating the event from Britannia Park in 2011, organizers haven’t looked back since. “It really is iconic with the Hog’s Back Falls; and people involved in

Pickleball ready for you to try erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Sports - Dean Prigent scrunches up his nose, mimicking the reaction of many of the boys in his Grade 9 physical education class when he told them they were about to play pickleball. “They’ve got this sour-lemon face and then they actually play and (it’s), ‘Are we doing that tomorrow?’� said Prigent, who teaches physical education to Grade 9 boys at St. Francis Xavier Catholic High School in Riverside South. The positive reaction he received after introducing the racquet sport in early April is the reason why he applied for a $700 Try Day grant from the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations in February. It’s the fourth time in a decade that he’s been able to secure the grant, allowing him to purchase equipment and introduce a new sport or physical activity to students. “I know that every kid is not like me, that they don’t come with a love of physical activity, but my goal is that when they’re with me that they love every minute of class,� said Prigent, who is also the school’s athletic direc-

tor and head of its physical education department. Pickleball, which is a combination of tennis, ping pong and badminton, can be played in singles or doubles formats, and is low impact but offers an intense cardio workout. While popular with seniors, Prigent hopes it will encourage more kids to try other racquet sports, such as tennis, squash, racquetball, table tennis. “I used to teach tennis at the Ottawa Athletic Club – that’s how I paid my way through university. So for me racquet sports are fun,� said Prigent, who also coaches tennis at the school. “I want to kind of bring that love of this activity to the students. Some kids didn’t even realize they were good at it ‘til they tried it.� Pickleball, which the Canadian Pickleball Association says is the fastest growing sport in North America, is for people of all athletic abilities, and offers kids an alternative to more popular team sports, like basketball, hockey and football. “They won’t know these other sports exist unless we introduce them to it,� Prigent said, adding that his goal is to introduce kids to a wide range of athletic options.

“I have to think about the parent who’s going to call the school and say, ‘There’s nothing for my son to do. He’s not good enough to make any teams. Why aren’t his needs being serviced?’� Grade 9 students Daniel El-Char, Chris Rached and Curtis Aldrich had never tried the sport before Prigent taught them the ropes, but their enthusiasm for pickleball is evident when they take to the court.

Curtis Aldrich, left, and Daniel El-Chaar, both in Grade 9 at St. Francis Xavier High School, embrace their competitive edge during a recent pickleball game. Boys in the school’s physical education classes were introduced to the sport earlier this year, thanks to a grant that allows teachers to provide a new sport or physical activity to students.

Their eyes track the plastic, perforated ball as it sails over a short net. They quickly work up a sweat as they lunge for the ball with their large paddles. “I find it more fun than other racquet sports,� said El-Char. “It’s easier. It doesn’t require as much skill.� His friends agree, adding they enjoy pickleball more than ping pong or badminton, and find it easier than table tennis. “It gets more people in the game,� added Aldrich, who regularly plays golf, baseball and house-league hockey. “It’s fun even if you’re good or bad at tennis,� he said, adding that he enjoys the challenge of getting points and outplaying his opponent. “I don’t know why it’s named Pickleball, but it’s a good sport,� Aldrich added. That’s encouraging for Prigent, who tries to get students hooked on physical fitness early in hopes they will continue taking physical education classes beyond the one mandatory phys-ed course they are required to take in high school. So far, his plan is working. More than 70 out of 120 Grade 9

students have signed up for gym classes in September, up from 40 students last year and 20 students two years ago. “You’re as much as a physical educator, as a teacher, as a salesperson,� said Prigent, a Barrhaven resident. “You’re constantly trying to show the kids what’s great about phys-ed. “Telling them that it’s good for them is not enough.� Teacher Courtney Gulas will be introducing the sport to the girls in her Grade 9 phys-ed classes in the coming days. “The girls love anything that is different and new,� the Barrhaven resident said. Prigent also has plans to set up lunch-time intramural pickleball competitions. He’s already planning to apply for another grant next year in hopes he can purchase birdie ball equipment to introduce golf to his students. “That’s the whole point of the sports try (grant) – try something new,� Prigent said, adding the funding makes it financially possible to engage as many students in physical activity at a time when extra funds are scarce. “They’re trying to further the physed landscape.� R0012658165

Meeting for Baseline transit options Staff

News - City staff area ready to present ideas for a future Transitway link along Baseline Road. A public meeting will be held on Monday, June 2, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the chamber in Ben Franklin Place, 101 Centrepointe Dr. During the meeting and a presentation at 7:30 p.m., residents will be able to get an overview of the Baseline rapid transit corridor study and view the city’s evaluation of design options for the route. Dedicated bus lanes along the

outside of the road or the median are options. Announced as part of the city’s updated transportation master plan last year, the planned rapid-bus transit link along Baseline would connect a future light-rail station at Bayshore Station to Baseline Station at Algonquin College with Prince of Wales Drive – a route of about 10 kilometres. The transportation master plan shows the corridor eventually connecting with Heron Station on the east side of the Rideau River. A study was already underway under the title “Baseline transit

If you lose your keys, The War Amps can return them to you by courier – free of charge.

Start your spring training routine off on the right foot day. There is a large variety of orthotic types to help with the many different foot conditions that they see. Also, you shouldn’t have to wait until the problem develops fully before addressing the situation. Custom orthotics can be made for running shoes, sandals – or even roller blades or skates!

Furnishings: For a more casual style of decorating, home owners can try wicker and rattan furniture mixed with warm wood tones. Sofas and chairs can also be covered in natural cotton and today’s worn wood styles, featuring more of a matte finish with lighter wood tones, are appearing on contemporary furnishings. Many factors are influencing the hot design trend in returning to nature www.claudette.decoratingden. com/gallery/outdoor-spaces including the longing for peace and quiet in our homes, a desire to make our home a retreat, and finding furnishings and accessories we find soothing and comforting. Additionally, we have an increased awareness of the environment and the quest to preserve its beauty. We want our homes to reflect this. Claudette at Decorating Den Ottawa www. claudette.decoratingden.com offers up these areas of design to bring Mother Nature back into your home: Fabrics and Window Treatments: Try picking fabrics for bedding and linens with bouquets of colourful botanicals. From gorgeous garden shades to the rich fruit tones of deep raspberries, into your design palette. Nature’s neutrals are also playing their important role – wheat brown, amber waves of grain, the creamy-whites of magnolia blossoms and terra cotta corals all highlighted by

Wall Coverings: Imagine relaxing in a lush garden where flowers flourish all around you – soft violets, delicate lilies of the valley, bold hydrangeas and stately red tulips. Fun, faux animal prints also remain popular and can lend an air of exotic in any room. Add this touch to your window treatments by choosing floral print drapery fabrics. Designed in a traditional swag and jabot treatment, this will definitely give any room a perennial touch. Colours: Incorporate natural colours, blooming in their popularity. These designs look great when mixed with stripes, checks or even plaids. Our love of Earth influences us to bring nature’s colours into our homes and our everyday lives.

Spring is here – finally. It’s time for the exciting transition back to outdoor exercise after a winter of stuffy indoor workouts, or lack of exercise all together. Although many of you are eager to lace up your shoes and hit the pavement in the fresh outdoor air, you must first ensure you have the right equipment and that you are exercising in moderation. Overtraining can lead to repetitive strain injuries which occur when exercise intensity, frequency or duration is excessive, and the exerciser doesn’t allow sufficient recovery in between workouts. Chronic insufficient recovery can actually do the body harm and set back training goals. In other words, overtraining can be counterproductive. Overtraining can also quickly

lead to the development of injuries such as plantar fasciitis, shin splints, metatarsal stress fractures, Achilles tendinitis and many more painful problems. The trick to proper spring training is to start off slow, and build to your goal, safely and efficiently using proper support. These days more and more people are using custom orthotics and proper running shoes to correct biomechanical inefficiencies, which can keep them healthy during spring training. This is where the experts at BioPedhttp:// bioped.com in Ottawa can help. BioPed Pedorthists employ a highly disciplined approach around the assessment, fabrication, fitting and adjustment of many varieties of custom orthoticshttp://bioped.com/ about/right_process.asp every

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

General Vanier time capsule to mark anniversary Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Community - As the stage curtains at General Vanier Public School open with a flourish, students voice their delight with oohs and aahs as their hard work is unveiled for the first time. Their reaction at the May 23 unveiling of a time capsule they crafted to mark the 50th anniversary of their Riverside Park elementary school came as no surprise to Edelweiss, Que. Mixed-media artist Marc Walter. “They’re proud,” said Walter, who led all 177 students through the educational project. “I love those ages. Their brain is not framed by the rules yet.” He was selected to serve as the school’s artist-in-residence from May 16 to 23, thanks to a $1,300 grant that was available for a low socio-economic school, courtesy of an anonymous donor through Multicultural Arts for Schools and Communities. The organization provides outreach and advocacy for arts education in eastern Ontario and western Quebec. The school and its parent council also chipped in $1,101.75 to cover the cost of Walter’s workshops. The fact that the school was able

to reach a 50-year milestone is incredible, after it survived two threats of closure – the second time eight years ago when there were fewer than 80 students due to changing demographics in the community, said General Vanier parent council president Carolyn Gauthier. Though the school no longer offers Grades 4, 5 and 6, enrollment has flourished, and today it is very multi-cultural. Twenty-six languages are spoken in the school. That was a factor in school officials choosing Walter’s idea to build a three-dimensional cocoonlike time capsule of natural fibres, encompassing several academic themes. “We have a lot of children who are English-as-a-second-language learners,” said principal Tammy McCormack, adding the project helped students expand their vocabularies. Every student at the school wrote or drew favourite memories, which were enclosed in three-dimensional shapes made of construction paper. These were tucked within the capsule, along with a journal of memories by families and school staff and a Canada flag honouring Canadian soldiers who fought for peace in Afghanistan. The capsule also includes the book, How Full is Your Bucket, which served as the school’s theme

this academic year. Students in grades 2 and 3 helped craft the exterior of the capsule from branches that were secured with raffia and jute twine, while the kindergarten and Grade 1 students decorated it with feathers and ribbons. The size of the creation is impressive at four-metres long and up to 80-centimetres wide in some places, and its cocoon shape represents the metamorphosis the students are experiencing in school. It’s also the ideal project to help connect some of the students to their adopted country. “I thought, when we were talking about this (idea), ‘How cool it is for a lot of these kids who are maybe first-generation Canadians,’ and here they’re building something that they can see in 25 years,” said Gauthier. Her son, Grade 3 student Jacob Gauthier, was pleased his favourite school memory of ‘fun in the sun’ is now tucked within one of the 3D shapes inside the capsule’s web of branches. The eight-year-old took to heart his principal’s invitation for students to come back in 25 years when the colourful paper packages inside the time capsule will be opened. “I want to see what people wrote,” Jacob said with a smile.

Eight-year-old Jacob Gauthier, a Grade 3 student at General Vanier Public School in Riverside Park, marvels at a time capsule he and 176 of his schoolmates created over one week under the creative tutelage of Marc Walter, a mixed-media artist from Edelweiss, Que. The time capsule, which was unveiled May 23 in honour of the school’s 50th anniversary, will be opened in 25 years.

Fire knocks out Gloucester auto body shop Fire marshall’s office investigating $750K fire Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News – A south Gloucester auto body shop went up in flames in the early morning hours of May 20. Investigators from Ontario’s office of the fire marshall have taken over the case, after it was determined the auto body shop, located at 4085 Ramsayville Rd., suffered more than $750,000 in damages. The provincial body leads fire investigations involving more than $500,000 in damage, or other criteria, such as a fatality, critical injury or suspected arson. The blaze that ultimately ravaged the shop is not considered suspicious, said Capt. Marc Messier, Ottawa fire services spokesman. While the cause of the fire has not yet been determined, investigators suspect the fire ignited in or near a car parked in one of the shop’s work bays. “This car was in the process of being painted, so whether

something malfunctioned, caused a spark, caused the ignition of some fumes, (we) don’t know,� said Messier. “That’s what they’ll work on, trying to figure it out.� Two staff members working the overnight shift at the shop managed to get two vehicles out of the garage before the flames spread. One worker suffered minor burns to one hand, and was treated at the scene but did not require a trip to hospital, Messier said. Another four or five vehicles parked inside the premises were completely burnt, as well as the unhitched bed of a tractor trailer which contained tires that was parked nearby. Multiple 911 calls came in around 3:25 a.m., prompting almost 20 firefighters in eight trucks to respond to the primarily residential area. The emergency was quickly upgraded to a two-alarm fire, bringing out 12 more emergency responders. Approximately 40 firefighters were

on scene during the height of the fire, which was finally contained at 5:45 a.m. “They had a couple of (industrial) propane tanks beside the building they would have had to concentrate their efforts on to prevent possible explosion,� Messier said. “They also had a trailer catch fire, so they probably had quite a bit of fire involvement.� Firefighters were faced with the additional hurdle of bringing in water from an external source due to a lack of fire hydrants in the neighbourhood. To allow water to be trucked in from the nearest hydrants, Ottawa police temporarily closed a section of Ramsayville Road. “So the advantage of where they were there is that they had water sources nearby so they didn’t have to shuttle very far,� Messier said. “It was challenging in the sense that there’s a lot more vehicles moving around, but as far as water, it was not an issue. We managed to maintain good water.�

Rideau High restores old streetcar Michelle Nash Michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Students from Rideau High School are getting a rare opportunity to get a hands-on learning experience thanks to a piece of Ottawa’s past. Known as the 696 Streetcar Restoration Project, a group of students from Rideau’s woodworking and transportation classes are restoring and reconstructing a streetcar that was built in 1917. The school is working with the 696 Streetcar Restoration group at the OC Transpo maintenance facility in Nepean. The goal is to complete the project in the next three years, to have it ready and functional for Canada’s 150th birthday. Woodworking teacher Robert Aucoin said the students, who range from grades 9 to 12, are combining their knowledge from both woodworking and automotive to get the job done. “This is a perfect fit to combine the two classes,” Aucoin said. “We were doing it before, in a smaller capacity, but not at this magnitude, with this opportunity to work on something that is 100 years old.” The students have little actual original streetcar pieces to work with and are recreating basically everything for the project from scratch. They are learning everything from workplace safety, teamwork and how turn imagination and creativity into something con-

crete. Aucoin said for the most part they build the streetcar pieces at the school, and on May 23 the students were attempting to fasten the doors to the frame of the car. As the job gets closer to completion, Aucoin expects the class to spend more time at the facility. The job is an expensive one. Aucoin said by the time the project is complete, it will have cost somewhere between $300,000 and $500,000. He said this portion of the project was funding with an $8,000 donation from building supply store Lowe’s. “Everything is particular and expensive. Cherry wood, special glass -- it all costs a lot,” he said. The teacher said he plans on creating more partnerships with local businesses to see the project to completion. The restoration project has been ongoing for many years, said 696 Streetcar Restoration group member Rheaume Laplante. He said the restoration project has been incredibly difficult because in the 1920s the blueprints for the streetcars were burned during a labour dispute. Laplante said the group works with heritage streetcar museums, like the Halton County Radial Railway museum. “Everything we are doing is based on research of similar streetcars,” he said.

MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

Samantha Crete and Catherine Foster, both Grade 12 Rideau High School students are part of a class which is restoring a 696 Streetcar at the OC Transpo maintenance facility in Nepean on May 23. Because of this, automotive teacher Mark Backmann said his students have had to design everything from scratch and handmade, like they would have in 1917. “It’s been a really great experience,” said Kyara Stronach-O’Connor, a Grade 9 woodworking student. Stronach-O’Connor’s job for the day was to sand down

the paint on the side of the streetcar, which she said was really hard and a lot of work, but still, said she loved having the chance to help fix up the

car. Aucoin and Backmann said this rare opportunity is something both of them as just as excited to participate in as

much as the kids. “It’s just amazing,” Backmann said. “I am in as much awe as the students. I have never been on a streetcar, and now I am helping restore an important piece of history.” Many of the students might not see the project from start to finish, but Aucoin said he believes there are a few diehard woodworking and automotive students who have really embraced the project. In addition to the learning opportunities for the students, Aucoin said he would also like to honour former Rideau High School student and bus driver David Woodard, who died last year in the Barrhaven bus crash, in some way as well. “It’s an idea, I don’t know what we would do, but I thought it would be a nice way to honour him,” he said. Aucoin never knew Woodard, but did teach his brother and felt inclined to do something for the family. The project will take over three years to complete, just in time for the 2017 ceremonies Aucoin said. “That’s the goal. We will try to get it complete for Canada’s birthday,” he said. “And it will be great to have everyone looking at what we worked at restoring.”

Your Strong Voice at City Hall

Three new streets in Riverside South now feature Swedish names to mark the strong economic ties between Ottawa and Sweden. GloucesterSouth Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches, left, joined Swedish Ambassador Teppo Tauriainen and Mayor Jim Watson at City hall on May 21 to unveil the names of Malmo, Gothenburg and Stockholm privates, named after Sweden’s three largest cities. Ottawa is home to several Swedish companies, including Ericsson, Ikea, Volvo, H&M and the many Swedish players with the Ottawa Senators hockey club. The street naming event is one way the city promotes “an awareness of cultural, economic, social and political landscapes of other nations, like Sweden, that help to continually foster an awareness of Canada’s likeness to other countries,” Desroches’ office said in a statement.

Ottawa International Airport Runway Reconstruction Recently I was advised by the Ottawa International Airport Authority that they are undertaking the third and ďŹ nal phase of their three part runway reconstruction project that began in 2011. The third phase involves the complete reconstruction of the airport’s longest runway, 14/32, which is 10,000 feet in length. During the reconstruction of this runway all commercial air trafďŹ c will use runway 07/25, which is their east-west runway. While I have been told that the majority of their air trafďŹ c already uses the 14/32 east-west runway, communities to both the east and the west of the airport may notice an increase in air trafďŹ c. The project began on May 20th and is expected to last until late September. The airport has also notiďŹ ed affected communities through advertisements in local papers and via social media. For further information please contact me at diane.deans@ ottawa.ca or 613-580-2480.

News - Bobbie Driscoll didn’t realize that a passion for running was not one of the main reasons people participate in Ottawa Race Weekend until she went to pick up her own pennant six years ago. “Especially in the two-kilometre (race), because it’s a shorter distance, you see how many people have their own reasons to run,� said the Glebe resident. “It’s amazing when you see how many people are out participating.� For Driscoll, that reason is Parkinson’s -- her husband, John Tawn, was diagnosed with the disease 25 years ago, when information about the degenerative condition wasn’t as readily available. It was isolating, Driscoll said. Now, after participating in the PIPR (Partners investing in Parkinson’s Research) team, Driscoll and Tawn say they’ve

been able not only to feel like they’re making a difference, but that they’re connected to a community of people who share their experience and their worries. The team has also given Driscoll and Tawn access to see the difference their efforts are making. All the money raised is used locally for research and the doctors involved in those projects participate in the team’s meetings. Driscoll and Tawn have been able to visit the labs where experiments are being carried out to discover better systems for diagnosing Parkinson’s disease, among other research. It’s also motivating for Tawn, who trains by walking in the lead-up to the race to get his time down from his current personal best of 28 minutes. This year, he’s hoping for 25 minutes and he has been “carbo-loading� to make sure it happens, he said with a laugh. PIPR is one of the top fund-

raising teams that participate in Ottawa Race Weekend. The 100-member team is well on its way towards a 10-year goal of $1 million raised, with $740,000 to date in eight years, including $81,000 this year. But there are more than 30 charitable teams participating in various runs this year and race weekend organizers anticipate those teams will garner more than $700,000 in total donations this year alone. Part of that money is raised through “guaranteed� race entries. Organizers reserve four per cent of the available slots in all races for charities, including the YMCA-YWCA and MS Society, and a portion of the higher fee for those guaranteed spots goes directly to the charities. The Lung Association fields a smaller but mighty team whose members say the race itself makes them feel very connected to the cause. The team has more than doubled in size in its three years

in existence and this year, 30 participants have raised almost $2,700. Glenn Carroll of Westboro had participated in race weekend in the past but wasn’t motivated to run again three years ago. That’s when he found out about the Lung Association team. “It changed things,â€? he said. “I realized this is more than just a race – it’s a celebration.â€? Carroll said the 10-kilometre race he participates in gives him lots of time to think about things – like how he has the ability to run, while people who have lung disease often don’t. Ashley Frappier of OrlĂŠans participated in half marathons in the past, but she too says the races have a different meaning to her after finding out her dad will need a double lung transplant as a result of asbestos-induced pulmonary fibrosis. “I’m running for my dad,â€? Frappier said. “It really makes you appreciate that you can.â€?

I am pleased to announce that the time it takes for online or phone purchases to be downloaded onto customer cards once they tap the Presto machines has been signiďŹ cantly reduced. Prior to April 21st, online and phone Presto purchases were updated once a day and could take between 24 to 48 hours to download and be ready for use on OC Transpo buses and trains. With the new software and cellular connection, OC Transpo and Presto transactions will be updated three to six times a day, as opposed to the previous one time per day. This enhancement makes OC Transpo download times the fastest on the PRESTO system and reinforces the convenience and beneďŹ ts of the smart card system.

Poilievre pledges to lend a hand for soccer clubhouse Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre is lending his support to an Ottawa South United fundraiser aimed at getting a clubhouse. Bill Michalopulos, president of the club, announced the club would be seeking another $800,000 on May 20. The plan to build the 650-square metre clubhouse that would feature public meeting rooms, a gym, a kitchen, change rooms and offices for the club’s administration has been in the works for a dozen years. Michalopulos said the club already has $1 million in trust with the city. When it is built it will sit on Mitch Owens Road, in the same spot where OSU has six fields. “We want it to be a real community hub,” Michalopulos said. Ottawa South United is the second largest club in the country – with 7,000 players coming from as far away as Kingston and Belleville. And now, Poilievre is working with the Rideau Carleton Raceway to help pony up some of the cash. Starting June 12 the RCR will broadcast the World Cup games. The 32-country competitions will be aired live, 24 hours a day, in their new ground floor facility now called the “Ottawa Soccer Central.” To mark the World Cup, the Rideau Carleton Entertainment Centre along with embassies of participating nations will be hosting cultural nights, showcasing the host country’s heritage. This will give Ottawa residents the opportunity to sample food and drinks from any of the 32 countries participating in the World Cup this year. Information on

Presto now reloads in 4 hours OC Transpo smart card sync times down from 24 to 48 hours Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Presto has eased one of the top fare smart-card complaints: a delay in money loading onto cards. After upgrades earlier this spring, Presto cards will now recognize funds when they are tapped on an OC Transpo bus within four hours of money being added to the card online. That’s a big improvement from the 24to-48 hour window that it used to take, said transit commission chairwoman Coun. Diane Deans. The delay could even be as little as 10 minutes, Deans said. It could also take slightly longer than four hours. “It’s loaded a lot more often, so it will be better,” Deans said. The improvement is possible because the Presto payment readers on OC Transpo buses have been outfitted with cellular devices to receive updates on account information on a more frequent basis. That information is now refreshed three to six times a day on every bus in the system, as opposed to once a day in the past. Before, buses had to return to the garage to be hooked up to the network and sync the on-board system with Presto’s online system. Now, that can happen remotely. OC Transpo is the only Presto-enabled transit system to use cellular technology at this

time, Deans said. The smart-card payment system, which is overseen by the provincial government’s Metrolinx agency, is also used in Hamilton and the Greater Toronto Area. The last time the transit commission received an update on the Presto system in February, there were more than 140,000 of the cards in use in Ottawa and the system had registered 27.5 million successful taps. PARA TRANSPO FARE

An electronic fare payment option for the city’s Para Transpo fleet of accessible buses is still in the works, so the transit commission agreed to extend a discount on the cash fares Para Transpo users pay. Since Presto cards can’t be tapped on Para Transpo vehicles, those passengers aren’t able to take advantage of the most discounted fares – “e-purse” cash value loaded onto a Presto card. Sticking with the Para discount until July 1 will ensure the fare is the same. The transit commission supported extending the fare reduction from $3.45 to $2.75 until that time.

One of the major complaints for OC Transpo’s Presto fare payment system – reload times up to 48 hours – has been tackeled. It should now allow passengers to tap their cards around four hours after loading money onto their Presto cards online. FILE

Baseline Road Rapid Transit Corridor (Bayshore Station to Prince of Wales Drive) Planning and Environmental Assessment Study Third Open House

Riverside South - Boothfield Park Information Session

Monday, June 2, 2014 Ben Franklin Place (The Chamber) 101 Centrepointe Drive, Nepean Transit Access: approximately 300 metre walk from Baseline Station 6:30 to 9 p.m., presentation: 7:30 p.m. The City of Ottawa is working on a Planning and Environmental Assessment (EA) Study for the proposed Baseline Road bus rapid transit facility. The City’s Transportation Master Plan (TMP 2013) identifies Baseline Road as a future transit corridor to achieve modal share targets as set out in the TMP. The EA Study will determine measures to improve transit service efficiency along the corridor and result in the expansion of the City’s transit network.

Fools offer starving artists lunch Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

Community - Hungry? Dying to know what a fool eats for lunch? Well now is your chance to swing by the Company of Fools rehearsal hall for a starving artist’s feast. The Company of Fools launched a new lunchtime special -- cheese and crackers with the biggest fool in the group, artistic director and actor Scott Florence. “An organization of our size it requires money to keep it going,” Florence said. “Funding from all levels of government is really not going to increase, especially with the demand of many small organizations seeking funding. We are going to need additional private funding and that comes from relation-

ships and so, rather than start off that we want money, we thought lets invite people to lunch and tell them what we do, and in time, hopefully that will get us more funding and donations.“ The lunch time feast is a new way the theatre group is attempting to raise money. “I don’t wear suits, I dress like an old hippie, meeting with corporate suits is not something I can do,” Florence said. “We are called a Company of Fools -- we can’t impress people with fancy business speak and we want to find a way to meet fun people, have lunch and let them learn more about what we do.” Florence said the company is looking to build stronger relationships with its patrons.

PET OF THE WEEK

Pet Adoptions Woody (A165859) is a foxhound in search of his happily ever after with a confident owner who has previous hound experience! Woody is a classic curious hound who loves to explore and be outside. He will do best in a home with children older than 12 who can help out with his walks! Woody is an affectionate pooch who could live with dog-savvy cats but would like to be the only canine cuddling up on your couch.

We include other procedures like vaccination and many times, even dentistry to ensure that all the animals we adopt gets the best start for their new lives. We are able to provide all this for a cost that is far less than an adopter could obtain for themselves. Everyone, especially the cat or dog, wins. But money is not the only issue. The root cause is irresponsible human behaviour. People that take the free kitten, don’t sterilize it, and let it roam are a major source of unwanted litters. In an Ottawa climate, potentially one cat and her offspring can produce a stunning 172,000 kittens in only seven years. Unvaccinated cats become a reservoir of infection that eventually migrates to any place where cats come to together in

significant numbers—a feral cat colony or a shelter or other animal organization. Too often, I hear people say that they let their cats breed—even multiple times—but that it was “okay” since they found them all homes. Over 7,000 cats end up at the Ottawa Humane Society every year. Thirty-five percent of them are believed to have been acquired either from a friend or relative or from some form of “free to good home”. Our community suffers from a major cat overpopulation problem and the people who allow their cat to breed are a large part of it. But the people who take the “free kitten” also contribute to the problem, by either being irresponsible themselves or by sparing those that breed from the consequences of their actions. Unwanted and neglected “free” cats ultimately suffer and have to be euthanized by someone other than the irresponsible person that brought them into the world.

With the advent of social media and on-line classified sales, the box of cute but unwanted kittens brought to the office has been replaced with on-line ads for these surplus felines. “Free to good home” advertisements are now disseminated much more widely and have become much more common. Is there such a thing as a free kitten? No! Once even the early costs of caring for a young animal such as sterilization, vaccination, deworming, etc. are factored in, the OHS estimates that it will cost more than $600 for a kitten and even more for a puppy in its first year, not including food and basic supplies. Sadly, many people are shocked by these costs, and either simply ignore the animal’s needs or bring it to us at the humane society. That is why the Ottawa Humane Society and societies like it sterilize animals prior to adoption. Even with good adoption screening and counseling, we

Vanier cyclists celebrate all things bikes Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Vanier’s one and only bicycle festival is set to return this June. Organized by the Vanier Community Association’s sub-committee, Vanier Cycles, VĂŠlo Fest will be a celebration for cyclists and community members alike on June 8 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The festival will host a number of activities that include safe cycling skills, skill challenges, and a bike tune-up workshop. There will also be bikes available for children to use at the event. “This year all the activities will be in one place and we have some prizes too,â€? said organizer Sarah Partridge. She reported there will be free helmets for children and T-shirts to hand out on a ďŹ rst-come, ďŹ rst-serve basis to the ďŹ rst 100 children aged 13 and under participating in the event. The day will include a safety rodeo, a video presentation, bike tuneups and information booths from the community association and organizations that operate in Vanier. There will also be a free barbecue at noon. The association has partnered with the Vanier Community Service Centre, which operates VĂŠlo-Vanier, a free neighbourhood bike-share program, and the Club Optimiste, which

runs a bike rodeo each year to make the festival possible. The city’s Safer Roads Ottawa program also contributed to the organization of the event. Partridge said more partners and participants are still contacting her, including some local schools that want to encourage cycling, including the potential to create a biking school bus, similar to current walking school buses which operate in parts of the city. Volunteers are welcome to come out and help with the ďŹ x-your-bike workshop, serve food at the barbecue or take pictures. Email vanieravelo@gmail.com for more information. A full list of activities and times is available at vanier-association.com. Prior to Vanier’s festival, the city’s cycling festival, Capital VĂŠloFest, takes place on May 31 at city hall. The festival has partnered with Big Brothers, Big Sisters Ottawa and is encouraging participants to donate to the festival with proceeds to go to the local charity. The activities will be similar to Vanier’s, with a bike rodeo, but there will also be a night bike ride the Tour La Nuit. Registrants who offer a donation will receive a free pass to the “Gear Zoneâ€? to light up their bikes for the ride.

Searching for St. Patrick cycling fixes Laura Mueller

Market would make sense. “For us, it’s just important as we have these projects to leverage these opportunities,â€? he said. “This resurfacing obviously brings some attention to it. We want to make sure all options are considered.â€? Fleury said he and Mayor Jim Watson are searching for $1 million to expand a sidewalk in the section east of Cobourg into a multi-use pathway that cyclists could also use, which would provide a grassy buffer between cyclists and vehicles. The path would be paired with sharrow markings. Partridge said that solution would be ideal, especially because it would provide more safety and separation from trafďŹ c for children who live in the area, but she was concerned the price tag was unrealistic. Alternately, Fleury is working with cycling advocates who want to convince city engineers to allow the vehicle lanes to be made narrower to make space for a bicycle lane – albeit one that’s a few centimetres shy of the 1.5 m provincial guideline. Partridge encouraged residents who want better cycling facilities on St. Patrick to write to the city and their councillor. The only way the path or lane will happen is if people tell the city that’s what they want,â€? she said. A solution will need to be found within the next couple of weeks, before the city issues a contract for the

The street will be repaved between the Vanier Parkway and King Edward Avenue this summer, but there is not quite enough room for bicycle lanes in one section, between Cobourg Street and King Edward. City engineers say the solution is to make the outer lane wider and paint “sharrowâ€? markings indicating that motorists and cyclists should share the lane, but Fleury said he wants a better solution for cyclists. That section of St. Patrick is important because it connects Vanier to Lowertown and parts of the city west of the Rideau River, said Sarah Partridge of the Vanier Community Association. “We’re bounded by water, so St. Patrick Street is the main link for anyone coming from the east,â€? she said. “People can otherwise feel like St. Patrick is a barrier.â€? The city is already spending money to segregate cyclists from vehicle trafďŹ c over the St. Patrick Bridge as part of the east-west bikeway, which heads south at Cobourg, Fleury said, so using that cycling route and making it safer for cyclists who choose to continue west on St. Patrick into the ByWard

Fleury expects to be able to tell residents about the cycling solution at a public meeting scheduled for Thursday, June 19 at 6 p.m. The meeting will take place at Patro d’Ottawa community centre at 40 Cobourg St. The city had hoped to get funding to completely rebuild the street this year, ahead of schedule, but a request for $2 million in funding was denied by the provincial government. The rebuild is still on the city’s radar to do in the next decade – including adding a cycling track (a bike lane raised from the road). “Despite this setback, we do not accept this should prevent bicycle lanes

from being constructed on St. Patrick Street,â€? Partridge wrote in her letter. “Although the funding would have allowed the city to build cycle tracks – the best option for travel by bike – repaving St. Patrick Street still offers the opportunity to install bicycle lanes.â€? Instead of a fully rebuilt road, the city will give the street a fresh coat of asphalt this summer as a band-aid solution for the bumpy, potholed surface, Fleury said. “It’s a nightmare,â€? he said. “It’s definitely the worst road in the city ‌ We have crews out there patching it every day.â€?

In addition to buffers like extra space and collapsible posts separating bicycles from vehicles over the St. Patrick Bridge, there will be some changes to make turning onto Cobourg Street easier for cyclists. A green-painted “bicycle boxâ€? at Island Lodge Road will give westbound cyclists a safer way to move south onto Cobourg. Instead of having to merge into vehicle trafďŹ c to turn left, cyclists can cross through the intersection and wait in the bike box before continuing south onto Cobourg when that signal turns green. Vehicles exiting Island Lodge Road won’t be allowed to turn right onto St. Patrick during a red light. While a â€œďŹ‚oatingâ€? bike lane located between the right turning lanes and the through lane of trafďŹ c had been considered for eastbound St. Patrick over the bridge, city engineers decided to align the bike lane with the curb and provide green-painted lanes for cyclists to cross the right-turn vehicle off-ramps.

Wellington Village to get city’s first street painting Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Wellington Village is one of three communities that will be getting brighter streets this summer. The Kitchissippi neighbourhood will be the first to put paint to pavement on June 7 as part of the city’s Neighbourhood Connections Office street-painting initiative. Neighbours are invited to come help paint the pavement with a colourful design – depicted on the Facebook event with people and trees from all seasons surrounding a globe – on Clarendon Avenue between Iona and Java streets. Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs said the project is based on street paintings that are more common in Portland, Ore., and are aimed at contributing to community

building. “It changes the face of your neighbourhood,” Hobbs said. “You no longer have an open asphalt street – you have a big piece of art on the street.” While there is no study data to confirm it, many, including Hobbs, are hoping the street paintings have a traffic-calming effect. “It could serve as a piece of visual awareness that you’re in a neighbourhood,” Hobbs said. The Wellington Village event, organized by Katie Paris of the community association, will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with a rain date of June 14. There will be washrooms on site and families are encouraged to bring a lunch if they want to stay all day to help out The concept came together with help from Jennifer Ni-

col of Flying Colours, a local watercolour artist and teacher. The project is a partnership between the Wellington Village Community Association and Elmdale School’s parent council. Other street paintings will be happening in Lowertown, Woodpark and Kanata North later this summer. Andrea Flowers and the city’s Neighbourhood Connections Office dreamed up the project, which they call Paint the Pavement. “It was us looking at the inspiration fun, beautiful projects that were happening elsewhere,” Flowers said. The projects are aimed at encouraging community building, resident engagement and beautification, she said. The only known street painting in Ottawa before now is a pansy that residents of Pansy Avenue have paint-

These examples of street paintings are similar to what will be coming to some Ottawa neighbourhood streets, starting with Clarendon Avenue on June 7. ed on their street as far back as 1997. The “guerilla” project was led by City Repair Ottawa, which at the time was modeled after a Portland-based group of the same name, Flowers said. Projects selected to receive a grant had to meet strict criteria. The chosen spot had to be on a quiet residential street that doesn’t

have a bus route. That means a street that sees fewer than 2,500 vehicles pass through in any given 24-hour period. The reason for limiting the paintings to calmer streets is to limit the amount of wear and tear the murals will have to endure. The proposed design can’t cause driver confusion or imply any visual narrowing of the road or a tromp d’oeil

effect -- the creation of realistic imagery such as a hole in the road, Flowers said. It also can’t include any words or logos, as well as images that evoke traffic symbols, as that could cause safety concerns. Locations must be supported by the community, particularly the owners of the properties abutting the painting.

Old tires left around local communities are diminishing, making for a cleaner, safer environment, thanks to creative recycling through campaigns like Tire Take Back, said Andrew Horsman.

Taking back tires, handing out dreams Katrice Sutherland ksutherland@metroland.com

News - Standard Auto Wreckers in Nepean is helping to recycle run-down rubber and turn it into a child’s dreams come true. The company will be collecting used tires from community members to contribute to the 6th annual Tire Take Back campaign, an initiative geared toward helping children at the Sunshine Foundation. This charitable Canadian organization is raising funds in partnership with the Ontario Tire Stewardship and Ontario automotive Recyclers Association to give incredible trips to children with life-threatening illnesses and severe disabilities. Community members can donate old passenger, light truck and agriculture tires to Standard Auto Wreckers at 5402 Old Richmond Rd. dur-

ing its business hours Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 5p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3p.m. between May 26 and 31. “We’ve brought in over a million tires in the last five years,” said Andrew Horsman, executive director of Ontario Tire Stewardship. “We’re hoping to generate $100, 000 in charitable donations this year,” he said. The campaign goals are supported by over 60 collection locations participating province-wide. The Ottawa neighborhood raised more than $32,000, a contribution to Canada’s grand total of $175,000 in 2013. With the help of the local garage, Ottawa is hoping to top its input. “We have always been involved,” said Lenny Storms, District Manager of Standard Auto Wreckers. “We want to help out our community,” he

said. Ontario Tire Stewardship will not only remit earnings from the donated tires, but the recyclers association will also match the funds collected by each participant. The winning locality will also receive a prize of $15,000 to fuel an environmentally friendly community project. Should they be the team to collect the most tires, Standard Auto Wreckers plans to put the money toward either an investment in the Starlight Children’s Foundation or a playground in their neighborhood. Horsman says the Tire Take Back initiative is one of the reasons there are “fewer and fewer tires to pick up each year.” “This program provides a means for tires to be responsibly recycled and turned into high valued products,” he said.

City acting on promises of land-use certainty Thirty projects on the go to bring zoning in line with Liveable Ottawa Official plan Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - City planners are putting pen to paper to make good on what Mayor Jim Watson and planning committee chairman Peter Hume have been promising: consistency and certainty in how neighbourhoods will evolve. A blandly-titled “zoning review” happening right now will ensure that zoning – the details on what kinds of residential, commercial or industrial use can occupy a property and how big the building can be – match what the city has called for in the blueprint of how Ottawa will grow – its Official Plan. It may seem like nitty-gritty bureaucracy to some, but to community groups that have spend almost a decade fighting much-maligned “spot rezonings” of specific lots, the 30 zoning updates now in the works

will be a game changer, Hume said. “It’s supposed to be this way,” Hume said. “But it hasn’t always been this way.” Ottawa got to this point because a political decision was made around eight years ago to flout the provincial Planning Act and intentionally leave the zoning out of whack with the Official Plan, forcing developers to file requests to spot rezone specific lots, Hume said. “We said, ‘We’ll make that the responsibility of the developer and communities will have a say (in individual development applications),” Hume said. “We thought that was the better way to go. The way we did it caused more angst.” Now, the city will take a different tact. The zoning for a number of specific areas – namely areas designated as town centres, mixed-use centres, arterial main streets and traditional main streets – will be updated to match the development goals and building height limits outlined in the city’s updated Official Plan, which council adopted last fall. Most other areas are covered by community design plans or transitoriented development plans with accompanying secondary plans, which enshrines them in the Official Plan, Hume said.

The Official Plan update, billed as Building a Liveable Ottawa, was the big chance for residents to have their say about the future of development in their communities, Hume said. “We were told that once that debate is done – implement it and stick to the zoning you put in place,” Hume said. And that’s what the city is doing, he said. While there are a couple information sessions about the zoning review coming up, Hume said there won’t be a lot of opportunity for residents’ feedback to shape the outcomes at this stage. “They should have gotten involved in Building a Liveable Ottawa,” Hume said. “It all starts with the Official Plan. By the time it gets down to the implementation, it’s almost too late.” But people are interested in the details of that implementation, Hume said, and city staff will share that information at three upcoming meetings: • June 17, 4 to 8 p.m. at Jean Pigott Hall in City Hall, 110 Laurier Ave. W. • June 18, 4 to 8 p.m. at the Atrium of Ben Franklin Place, 101 Centrepointe Dr., Nepean • June 19, 4 to 8 p.m. at Peter D. Clark Place, 255 Centrum Blvd.,

Orleans Feedback can be sent to zoningreview@ottawa.ca. Hume said the new approach of consistency between the Official Plan and zoning will be “almost impossible to back away from” once the city starts to implement it, because any deviations from that consistency will be used as justification for Ontario Municipal Board appeals. “As a result, you’d continue to erode the principles behind the plan,” he said. Pursuing development opportunities in Ottawa should become more streamlined as a result, Hume said. “Developers are going out to look for sites that just need a site plan,” he said, rather than the lengthy, costly and often antagonistic approach of seeking a rezoning. “There will be less community conflict,” Hume predicted. The only people who might be unpleasantly surprised are landowners who won’t have as much negotiating power with developers who might look to purchase their land at a higher value, knowing that a rezoning could have boosted the site’s development potential. Now, it will be more of a “what you see (in the zoning) is what you get” approach, Hume said.

Rezoning projects The city is looking at 30 rezoning projects to achieve consistency with the Official Plan, including: CENTRAL

- Billings Bridge - Bronson Avenue - Somerset Street - Preston Street - Gladstone Avenue - Dalhousie Street - Main St./Hawthorne Ave. EAST

- McArthur Avenue - Innes Road - Montreal Road - Ogilvie Road - St. Jospeph Boulevard - St. Laurent Boulevard - Walkley Road - Orleans Town Centre SOUTH AND WEST

- Carling Avenue - Merivale Road N/S - Robertson Road - Barrhaven Town Centre

Realizing a desperate wish to wear a slip

M

y sister Audrey said you had to be a certain age before you were old enough to wear a slip. I could never understand the reasoning behind that rule. Surely, if you could see your underpinnings through your dress, you needed a slip. And I told her so too. The winter clothes had been packed away, and the summer wear was out. “Well,” Audrey explained, “children your age don’t wear sheer dresses, and so you don’t need a slip.” I mentally pictured my scant summer wardrobe. The only dresses I owned were two Dan River Cottons I wore to church or for very special occasions. Whereas Audrey, had at least three dresses, one of a lacy fabric that had come in the hand-medown box from Aunt Lizzie, and one Mother had made from an organza piece of material that was on sale at Walker’s Store in Renfrew. Another dress, which she often wore to the Northcote School was a light material, and if she stood in a doorway, or the sun caught it just the right way, without a slip you would certainly see her underpinnings. She definitely needed a slip for all three of them.

MARY COOK Memories But how I longed for a slip. Now, part of it, I knew, was because there was a saying back in those days, that if a girl’s slip was showing, you quietly went up to her and said, “It’s snowing down south,” and she immediately went and did something about her slip peeking beneath her hemline. I was very impressed when I heard someone say that to another girl in the schoolyard. That, to me was a sure sign of growing up. How I longed for a slip. The best thing to do was to talk it over with Mother. She said Audrey was right, that you needed a slip if you were wearing something that could show your underpinnings...but she also said it had nothing to do with how old you were. That was wonderful news to me. And I set out trying to make a bargain with Mother. If I did extra chores on Saturday, washed my underwear out every night without being asked, and promised to try to have only pleasant thoughts when it came

to bad Marguirite, would Mother consider letting me have a slip? The last promise I knew, would be the hardest to keep. Mother said to let her think about it. That meant no more discussion on the subject until she brought it up. Like so many times when I longed for something that was out of my reach, I couldn’t get owning a slip out of my mind. Like the little wood pencil box my friend Joyce had with a green palm tree painted on the outside, and a lid that slid open by using your thumbnail, and it swivelled to show a place for pencils, and even a little dent for your art eraser. Or the short white stockings Marguirite wore to school with a tiny row of lace around the cuffs. Wanting the pencil box or the white stockings would forever remain a dream. But owning my first slip, I thought, wasn’t being that unreasonable. And then one morning I came down from our bedroom and Mother was, as usual, standing at the Findlay Oval stirring the porridge in the big white pot. She snapped the ladle against the side of the pot and put it on a saucer on the reservoir, and told me to go to her bedroom and bring out what was there.

The bed was neatly made with the log cabin quilt pulled up over the pillows (bedspreads were unheard of in our house), and there was something folded in the centre of the bed. I picked it up, and it was a slip. A real slip! I tore to the kitchen like someone possessed and asked Mother if it was for me. “Well, it’s too short for Audrey, and I doubt your brothers would be wanting to wear it,” Mother said. I was already dressed for school, but there was no way another day was going to pass without my wearing a slip. I wasn’t in a dress, but had on a cotton skirt made out of one of Uncle Jack’s dress shirts, and a blouse that once belonged to Audrey. I tore upstairs and in jig time came down with the slip on next to my bare skin and underpants, and with the blouse and skirt back on. Mother had made it at night, when we children were in bed, and the steady clack-clack of the old Singer sewing machine could be heard downstairs almost every night, but I never knew what creation Mother was working on. And here, last night, she had sewn me my first slip. It was made of white broadcloth, a luxury to be sure. It was a few inches shorter than my skirt, and had wide straps, not like Audrey’s slip which had little

slides you could move up and down to shorten or length it. But I was so thrilled, I could hardly wait to get to the Northcote Side Road where my friend Velma would be waiting for me to walk to school, and tell her what I had on under my skirt. I also told Joyce, and we went behind the outhouse at recess so that I could lift my skirt and show them my new slip. I would love to have let the whole school know – the girls at least, but of course I wouldn’t dare be that forward. No, I just had to live with keeping it to myself and my two best friends. Of course, I couldn’t wear it under my slacks, or shorts, and as it got warmer, it stuck to my skin, so I started only wearing it to church. It didn’t take long for the novelty of owning a slip to wear off. And it stuck to my dress or my skirt. To be honest it became quite a nuisance. And besides, since Mother had made it so much shorter than my skirts or dresses, not one soul sidled up to me and said “Mary, it’s snowing down south.” So, if no one knew I was even wearing as slip, what was the point of having one on?

TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the City of Ottawa passed By-law Number 2014-189 on May 14, 2014, under Section 34 of The PLANNING ACT.

The City of Ottawa has completed an Environmental Assessment of the Queen Street Renewal Project. The City has identified the need to renew Queen Street to upgrade the streetscape and pedestrian environment in anticipation of the commencement of the Confederation Line service. The streetscape/ surface renewal on Queen Street between Bronson Avenue and Elgin Street is being coordinated with the construction of the Confederation Line light rail transit (LRT) through the downtown area. The Recommended Plan will provide one shared-use travel lane in each direction with turning lanes where essential, while providing maximum space for wide sidewalks including opportunities for on-street parking, loading and/or taxi space.

AND TAKE NOTICE that any person or public body, who, before the By-law was passed, made oral submissions at a public meeting or written submissions to City Council, may appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board with respect to the By-law, by filing with the Clerk of the City of Ottawa, a notice of appeal setting out the objection to the By-law and the reasons in support of the objection. An appeal must be accompanied by the Ontario Municipal Board’s prescribed fee of $125.00, which may be made in the form of a cheque payable to the Minister of Finance. A notice of appeal can be mailed to the City Clerk at 110 Laurier Avenue West, Ottawa, Ontario, K1P 1J1, or by delivering the notice in person, to Ottawa City Hall, at the Information Desk in the Rotunda on the 1st floor, 110 Laurier Avenue West.

The Environmental Study Report (ESR) has been completed and by this Notice is being placed in the public record for review. Subject to the comments received as a result of this Notice and receipt of necessary approvals, the City intends to proceed to detailed design. The implementation timing has not yet been confirmed however construction activities will be coordinated with the Confederation Line project.

A notice of appeal must be received no later than 4:30 p.m. on June 18, 2014.

The ESR is available for review at the following locations:

No person or public body shall be added as a party to the hearing of the appeal unless, before the by-law is passed, the person or public body made oral submissions at a public meeting or written submissions to the council or, in the opinion of the Ontario Municipal Board, there are reasonable grounds to add the person or public body as a party.

Ottawa South News EMC - Thursday, May 29, 2014

News - A new bike-and-ride pilot project run by the city is coming to Orléans. The project will launch at the Bob McQuarrie Recreation Complex at 1490 Youville Dr. It will provide cyclists, runners and walkers with access to showers, change rooms and lockers.

The idea is that the active commuters can then access OC Transpo at Jeanne d’Arc Station, where there is bike parking. The shower, change room and locker access – between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. – will cost $5 a month. “One obstacle that can prevent people from trying to cycle to work is a lack of showers in their workplace,” said Coun. Keith Egli in a press release. “This pilot project allows people to get in their ride or run, grab a shower, and avoid the traffic by taking the bus – without lugging their workout clothes and helmets.” Coun. Bob Monette said it is a good option for people looking to bypass construction on highways 174 and 417 and incorporate exercise into their commuting. People interested in getting more information or wanting to purchase the special pass, can visit the customer service desk, located at the Bob MacQuarrie Recreation Complex.

Organization hosts city-wide food security challenge Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Non-profit organizations across the city are being challenged to help stomp out hunger for good. The Community Foundation of Ottawa has launched the new initiative, dubbed the Leaf Community Challenge, to tackle a number of issues. First up is food security. “In our conversations and connections with the community, there were three overriding issues,” said Catherine Dubois, director of community engagement. “Those three were affordable housing, civic engagement and access to nutritious and affordable food.” The point of this new challenge, Dubois said, is to find a long-term solution. The challenge asks charitable organizations to submit food security proposals until Sept. 15. The foundation is offering funding to the winning proposal. Dubois said the funding amount will remain a secret until the official unveil on May 31 at the challenge launch, but it is substantial and could very well turn the issue around for good. “There has been excellent work being done when it comes to food security and one of those things are the good food markets,” Dubois said. “It was based on all the good work that

On May 31, the Community Foundation of Ottawa will launch a citywide challenge to non-profits to come up with a new plan to solve local issues, such as food security in Ottawa. is being done that we felt that if the community were provided additional funding it would really help bring significant change.” Currently managing assets in excess of $100-million, the foundation has provided more than $70-million in grants to the community since its inception. In the past the foundation has funded many small initiatives to help improve food security, engage citizens and work at making affordable housing a reality. Those amounts, said spokeswom-

an Iona Green, were small compared to the large funding announcement the foundation is set to make this weekend. That announcement will take place at one of the city’s Good Food Markets at the Nanny Goat Hill Community Garden, at the corner of Laurier Avenue West and Bronson Avenue at 11 a.m. According to the Community Foundation of Ottawa, currently more than 75,000 people in Ottawa worry they don’t have enough food to feed themselves or their families

due to finances and living situations. Foundation president Marco Pagani said this challenge is all about creating access to food for everyone and the most important aspect of the foundation’s new proposal challenge. In the past three years, there has been a 12 per cent increase in food bank use in the city. The idea is for charitable organizations to propose a plan that could reduce this use, or eliminate it completely. Dubois said the foundation is

looking forward to seeing what organizations propose. There will be a list of criteria organizations must meet to be considered, but Dubois said the foundation will not direct how any plan is implemented. “Certainly we have criteria, but we have confidence that our community knows what it will take to make a difference,” Dubois said. One of the conditions set out in the challenge is that the participating organizations work with communities and families who use the food bank and who are suffering from the inability to eat healthy daily. “We want people who are directly affected to be involved. We want the voice of those affected to speak, residents in the neighbourhood. It is important to make it sustainable and we really believe that with a significant allocation of funds we can really make a difference for those communities.” The final selection from the top three proposals will be announced at a live, juried event in early October. The jury, Green said, will be made up of community leaders and knowledge experts on the issue. Once funding has been allocated towards a food security plan, Green said the foundation will hold similar challenges for other critical issues neighbourhoods face in this city.

Teens pull off successful Roger`s House fundraiser Katrice Sutherland ksutherland@metroland.com

News - Sydney Perelmutter stands brighteyed and proud, with a homemade LDH OutReach button pinned to her shirt. Perelmutter is one of 30 students from Longfields-Davidson Heights Secondary School who helped to host a charity fundraiser in support of Rogers’ House at Local Heroes Bar and Grill in Nepean on May 20. The silent auction and dinner was put together from a zero-dollar budget as part of a practical assignment where Grade 12 business students were challenged to raise funds for a group in their community. And fundraise they did. LDH OutReach sold 58 tickets and exceeded its expectations, raising $1,810. “We weren’t sure that us- teenagers- would be able to pull this off,” said Suyoun Chang, copresident. Business students under the supervision of their teacher, Cathy Belanger, worked collectively over three months to design their company, LDH OutReach and choreograph the fundraiser. “I wanted them to showcase leadership, and use community connections, rather than learn from a textbook or write a boring essay,” said Belanger. Students made cold calls, filling auction tables with entertainment prizes: an assortment of gift-cards and baskets donated by 20 local businesses. Roger’s House is supported by the Ottawa Senators and the Sens Foundation, which offered game tickets and gift baskets with a $200

value for the silent auction tables. Roger’s House celebrated its eighth anniversary on May 15. The house was built in memory of Roger Neilson, a Hockey Hall of Fame coach and member of the Order of Canada. The home continues to provide palliative care for children with life-limiting illnesses and their families. Students had the opportunity to visit the site. “We were expecting it to be sad and upsetting but it was such a happy environment and a beautiful facility,” said Perelmutter. “Visiting it hit home and drove us to go the extra mile with this project.” The students have arranged a second trip to Roger’s House for May 26, to hand-deliver the cheque. The event welcomed volunteer guest speaker Tania Wall, who shared her daughter, Morgan’s, battle with cancer and told of how Roger’s House helped their family during a devastating time. The class chose to fundraise for Roger’s House because it felt Roger Neilson’s values matched the ones they wanted to promote: bigheartedness, power of youth, and charity, said Belanger. Students praised Belanger’s unique coaching style. “Mrs. B. keeps saying, ‘if you can do this when you’re 17, just imagine what you can do when you’re 30,’” said Perelmutter. “All non-for profit organizations are so welcoming. It’s easy to volunteer or donate and the organizations are so appreciative,” said Perelmutter, encouraging community members to get involved.

MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

The mainly residential portion of Dalhousie Street, from St. Patrick Street to Boteler Street, is currently undergoing a re-zoning, which will change the current residential zoning into a commercial one.

Dalhousie re-zoning leaves Lowertown residents worried Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - The city’s plan to rezone properties along Dalhousie Street north of St. Patrick is not sitting well with many Lowertown residents. A recent presentation of the plan, which is being conducted in order to comply with city council directives last fall concerning the Official Plan, left many of the residents in attendance raising concerns, specifically with changes that would see the street change in character from residential to commercial. The city planner in charge of the file, Steve Gauthier, said that the changes were simply so the street, which already is designated a commercial traditional main street south of St. Patrick, matches the designation north of St. Patrick too. Gauthier added that what is protected in the Lowertown West heritage conservation district, including heritage overlays, will remain protected. The presentation was during Lowertown Community Association’s monthly meeting on May 12 and many residents said they understood the desire for intensification, but not in a heritage designated area. “We understand heritage overlays overrides anything, but it is also our experience that the city lifts the heritage overlay when it suits,� said

board member Sylvie Grenier. Many echoed Grenier’s comments, even questioning the purpose of rezoning, if the city claims the area will remain protected and residential. Gauthier said the new zoning will allow for small businesses to open and potentially animate the street. The change could also allow new buildings to be six storeys in height instead of its current four-storey limit. Residents seemed none too pleased about that either. “Why bother?� said Liz MacKenzie, a member of the association’s heritage committee. “It seems to me this will be the wedge that ruins our designation. It’s a waste of city resources unless there is an advantage for somebody.� Dalhousie Street is not alone in being rezoned for consistency. The city is currently looking at approximately 30 areas to comply with the Official Plan. The majority of the review will affect land currently designated as town centres, mixed-use centres, arterial main streets and traditional main streets. The review will focus on the new policies in the Official Plan which will specify minimum and maximum building heights, minimum densities and permitted land use. Gauthier said MacKenzie’s concerns were valid, and that all comments about the rezon-

! ! " ! !

ing should be sent to him so he can take them into consideration moving forward. Speaking for Heritage Ottawa, Jay Baltz said the protection of heritage overlays is definitely a concern. “Technically, the zoning on Dalhousie will not change, because heritage overlays are zoning. However, heritage overlays have proven to be a weak tool,� he said. Baltz added the committee of adjustment can grant permission to lift them, and city planners often recommend that they be lifted to allow development applications to go forward. Gauthier remained firm that these changes are simply to have the zoning match. Grenier pointed out a zoning bylaw is a legal document, which she said is something developers can use to argue in their favor. A heritage overlay is not — it is simply a guideline meant to be followed or respected. “This (the overlays) will not have teeth in the end,� Grenier said. Baltz agreed. “The underlying zoning is very often cited as the ‘real’ zoning for the area, and often prevails over heritage overlays. It is also difficult to defend overlays at the Ontario Municipal Board when the underlying zoning is much higher,� he said.

Councillor working to create heritage bylaws Continued from page 49

Grenier said what she would like to see is for a heritage district to become a bylaw to add protection. Mat Genest, who works in Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury’s ofďŹ ce, told residents the councillor is working on making heritage district guidelines bylaws. “Prior to 2006, they just did guidelines. Going forward they will be adopted,â€? Genest said. The Lowertown West heritage conservation district was designated in 2005. Genest said the wording needs to change to have the guidelines adopted into bylaw. He added this needs to be

done for every conservation district. Grenier said since the focus should be on changing the wording and creating bylaws, she feels the rezoning should be put on hold. “It seems this is all happening too fast and backwards to what should be done,� she said. “This should be delayed until that is changed.� Gauthier assured residents that regardless of the rezoning the protection will be enough. Baltz said from a heritage perspective, he remains skeptical. “You have to ask why the city is increasing the height in the zoning if their position is that it will not have any ef-

fect? The heritage district designation is the main protection. Alterations to any property in a heritage conservation district have to be approved by the built heritage subcommittee. The committee does not consider overlays, however, since they are under zoning (Planning Act) not heritage (Heritage Act), and the built heritage committee only deals with applications under the Heritage Act,� Baltz said. Gauthier said he would share the community’s concerns, and encouraged people to email him or call him if they had any more concerns or questions. MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND The city will hold an open house for the project on June The city will host an open house about its plans to rezone properties along Dalhousie 17 at city hall from 4 to 8 p.m. Street, north of St. Patrick Street on June 7 at city hall, from 4 to 8 p.m.

Hacking into Ottawa’s engineering community Katrice Sutherland suth0096@algonquinlive.com

Arts - Full-time artist, Darcy Whyte watches a trail of fire stemming from the tip of a laser slicing into a sheet of rubber he is using to make personalized stamps. Whyte is at the front of a line waiting to use the Epilog Zing 30 Watt Laser Cutter. This is the most recent addition of equipment to ModLab, one of Ottawa’s hacker spaces hosted at the Arts Court on Dalhousie, since 2012. ModLab is a regular gathering spot for artists, technicians, engineers, coders and curious members of the public. It is hosted by Artengine, a company advocating the success of local technicians, every Wednesday evening from 7 to 10 p.m. The evenings offer a chance for people to use expensive equipment like the Zing30 Laser, 3D printers, soldering irons, projectors and wiring connectors that most may not otherwise have access to. Britta Evans-Fenton, 24, the technical co-ordinator of Artengine says hacker spaces are a place to share and take in ideas. Ottawa now offers several

of these makerspaces, each of them appealing to a different demographic with its region. The downtown atmosphere welcomes an older crowd of tech-savvy artists as where the Centrepoint branch of the Ottawa Public Library seeks to inspire more family-friendly projects. “It’s kind of nerdy from the general public point of view,” said Doug, an engineer and avid user of the space. “But it’s a great opportunity to get your geek on.” ModLab is like an open house. It’s free to the public of all ages in a space where people can seek or offer help with projects, share materials, and show-and-tell their venture developments. Richard Sloan, an electrical engineer, brought in a working prototype application for mobile devices. He is developing a coding program specific to Android products for a lighting system. Sloan says the user-friendly product, once finished, will be a home lighting system able to control light colour, shade and sensitivity from the user’s phone with a simple swipe. What sets it apart from other

ModLab attendees offer ideas to help a fellow technician solve mechanical problems with his LED lights project at the Arts Court on March 19. companies developing similar products will be the input of a motion sensor and personalized timers, he said. As conversations spark about mechanical problems and specialized features, regular members made sure to translate their technical discussions for those who were new to the concepts. Elgin (Skye) MacLaren is a first time attendee looking to learn how to use Arduino, a

small open-faced circuit board used to program robotic devices. “I’ve got some really good leads on information,” she said. “I’m going to come back once I have some of the toys to play with and have (other members) help me try to figure out how to put things together.” MacLaren went home holding a tiny plastic tiger, a sample from the 3D printer demonstra-

tion she observed. Many of the people attending are interested in expanding their businesses. Whyte is designing multiple stamps that will eventually layer and act as a portable printing press, which he hopes will save the environment from wasteful business cards. In the meantime, Whyte makes his business cards for the paper airplane company he runs from scraps of old projects

Thomas Allanson, a 3D designer put his skills to use for his wife’s jewellery design business, making online models for potential patrons to browse through. “This is the one place where your brain can run free,” said Allanson. Artengine is a company comprised of a collection of artists whom organize various events in the Ottawa community, like Mini-Maker Faires and workshop nights, and manage grant funding. Artengine is located in the Arts Court on 2 Daly Ave., a space that is home to 27 art organizations. Ottawa Art Gallery in the Arts Court is expected to have a team together to begin planning for its $34-million transformation, expansion and re-development, in June 2014. The anticipated new space will not have an effect on any of the program arrangements until the construction is scheduled to commence, two years from now, during which time ModLab will temporarily relocate. “The impact, as we foresee it, will be minimal,” said Remco Volmer, Artengine program manager.

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

MINIMIZE THE FINAL INCOME TAX LIABILITY OF YOUR ESTATE proper planning, a deceased’s “ Without income tax liability could be significant Did you know that approximately 80% of Canadians will donate to a charity during their lifetime? However, it is estimated that less than 10% will include a gift to a registered charity in their Will.

This is one of a series of several articles intended to build awareness about the impact of legacy giving to Forever CHEO. In addition to the spiritual and community benefits of gifting to a registered charity, naming a registered charity as a beneficiary in your Will can also be an effective way to minimize the final income tax liability

of an estate. Without proper planning, a deceased’s income tax liability could be significant. Various income inclusions at the time of death, such as deemed capital gains and the fair market value of an RRSP can result in a higher than expected estate income tax liability given Canada’s graduated income tax rates.

Gifts to Forever CHEO can include cash legacies, bequests of real or personal property, securities, life insurance proceeds and all or part of the residue of the estate. All of these gifts can potentially generate tax credits available to reduce an estate’s income tax liability. Additionally, the gifting of certain types of capital property to Forever CHEO under the terms of a Will may avoid capital gains but still maximize the tax credits available from such a gift.

If you are interested in finding out about how you can leave a CHEO legacy, please contact Megan Doyle Ray at

megandoyle@cheofoundation.com or (613) 738-3694

Please feel free to contact any member of CHEO’s Legacy Advisory Committee for more information about minimizing the tax liability of your estate and how you can make a lasting impact on the kids and families at CHEO. We would be happy to help you create your Forever CHEO legacy for generations of CHEO patients.

Intergenerational activities bring all ages together in Gloucester HIgh school students, volunteers cherish time with seniors Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

Community - Once a month, the young and old find themselves combined in activities, laughing together and sharing a story or two at the Extendicare Laurier Manor. A group consisting of about 10 of each Lester B. Pearson Catholic High School students, Gloucester Senior Adults Centre volunteers and Manor residents take part in the hour-long session once a

month during the school year. Most of the Manor residents who participate have Alzheimer’s, and have been selected to take part because they will benefit from the activities and interaction. “We’re providing something a little bit different, something stimulating with nostalgia,” said Sharon Oatway, the GSAC executive director. “It’s very intergenerational.” Activities include crafts, games, and on May 20, an outdoor party with a performance by GSAC’s Songsters, who perform at a different retirement home each week. Students and volunteers helped the Manor residents into large sunhats and feather boas – they later snacked on ice cream and virgin margaritas. A variety of students take part throughout the year, and while they could earn volun-

BRIER DODGE/METROLAND

JP Brindamour, centre, is all smiles as Lester B. Pearson Catholic High School students Marianne Joseph and Dominique Mesina help him dress up for an outdoor tea party on May 20. teer hours required for graduation, most of them are volunteering because they want to,

said teacher Karen Kyle. “This kind of kid has hundreds of volunteer hours when

they only need 40,” she said. Students go through some training at the start of the year to talk about how to work with people with Alzheimer’s. The focus during the activities are the residents, who get one-onone attention. “In the beginning, (the students) were sad when they saw the person wasn’t going to remember them,” Kyle said, adding the students quickly get into a routine. “Often, it’s a very family feeling. It benefits the students too.” Marianne Joseph, a Grade 12 student, enjoyed volunteering with the program so much in Grade 9, she’s come back every year – even volunteering extra hours at the Manor with other programs outside of school. “I like coming here for selfish reasons,” she said. “It reminds me of my grandparents, and it’s a lot of fun. You get to meet a new person every

day.” Resident JP Brindamour, in a large hat and brightly-coloured feather boa, broke into a big smile and laughter when asked how he feels about the students. Another resident, named Gerry – who Joseph said is the king when it comes to their balloon volleyball games – smiled wide and nodded as well, his own quiet approval for the day’s sunny patio party. Marianne said it’s OK that the residents don’t always remember her, because she can get to meet everyone without anyone feeling left out because she previously spent time with them. Her friend Dominique Mesina, also a Grade 12 student, agreed that the volunteering sessions were enjoyable. “It’s always really fun,” she said. “You always meet a new personality.”

Queensway bridges to go under knife MoT planning to repair, replace 23 downtown bridges Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

News - The Queensway doesn’t have the same pressing problems that plague Toronto’s Gardiner Expressway, but the downtown artery is still in need of attention. The Ministry of Transportation is forming a longterm plan to repair or replace 23 bridge spans in 12 locations in the urban core of Ottawa, between Holland Avenue and O’Conner Street. A May 22 public information meeting detailed the preliminary design plan and environmental assessment currently underway for that stretch of Highway 417. Unlike the elevated freeways that were in vogue in North American cities in the early 1960s, Ottawa’s Queensway was placed on a berm with underpasses for major streets. Those spans, built between 1961 and 1965, were built to last about 75 years, explained Don Rowat, the ministry’s project engineer.

We’re developing holding strategies for these structures – they could occur as early as 2015, with the goal of extending the life of the structure. DON ROWAT

“We’re comparing the cost of rehabilitation versus outright replacement,” said Rowat. “This summer we will evaluate the alternatives. Once we do that we’ll come up with a technically preferred (solution) and come back to the public in the fall.” Repair or replacement wouldn’t occur all at once, nor would it occur during the course of Ottawa’s LRT construction period, said Rowat. Besides analyzing

the situation and finding the FILE best solution for each span, provincial funding would The Ministry of Transportation is forming a long-term plan to repair or replace 23 bridge spans in 12 locations in the urban core have to be secured for the of Ottawa, between Holland Avenue and O’Conner Street. project. In the interim period, small-scale repairs will take place on the bridges. “We’re developing holding strategies for these structures – they could occur as early as 2015, with the goal of extending the Sunday, June 1st, 2014 life of the structure,” said Rowat. Lincoln Fields Shopping Centre Whether repaired or replaced, there are a number 10:00 A.M.—3:00 P.M. of ways either option could occur – including rapid $6.00/person — kids under 1 FREE bridge replacement -- each with different disruptions to traffic. Disruption would be weighed alongside cost when determining the best solution. NEW!

That replacement could result in a similar threespan bridge or an abbreviated one-span crossing with both ends backfilled with earth. Regardless of what option is chosen, Rowat said a rapid bridge replacement is likely possible via a “jack and slide” method. “Rapid replacement with either a one- or three-span bridge,” said Rowat. “I do believe we have room to accommodate that. If we choose to do that, it would be constructed for probably a full year and the closure would be held over a long weekend.” Whether repaired or replaced, the physical appearance of the underpasses would be improved, with more appealing surfaces, lighting and noise barriers.
