News - Several hundred fitness instructors have seen their pay cut by the city. The city is trying to set lower pay levels for instructors who teach classes like yoga and aquafit and for the first time the city also struck a committee to reclassify speciality classes like zumba into regular fitness classes that pay less to teachers, according to a city fitness instructor. “There’s a lot of anger,” said the employee, who asked that her name be withheld in case speaking out affected her employment with the city. “It’s really affecting people’s lives. “A lot of (the instructors) do it as their job, so when they’re taking a pay cut, whether it’s $3 to $5, $6 a class, when you’re teaching 20, 30 or 35 classes a week, at the end of the week, that’s someone’s hydro bill or someone’s grocery bill,” she said. “For those who are doing it as a living, it is definitely hurting them with their budget.” But the woman, who now spends most of her time working at a private facility, said she understands what the See MAYOR, page 10

EMC News – School is back in session, and so is full-day kindergarten in five public schools in south Ottawa. Alta Vista, Farley Mowat, Roberta Bondar and Vincent Massey public schools and Sawmill Creek Elementary School are introducing full-day kindergarten programs in their schools starting this year, said Hyacinth Haddad, a spokeswoman

for the Ottawa public school board. Emerson Uchman will be setting foot in a junior kindergarten classroom for the first time this fall at Stephen MacLean Public. Her brother, Finn, entered senior kindergarten at the same school, which is only a few minutes walk from the Uchman family home in Riverside South. Proud parents Darren and Tatum Uchman took Emerson to meet her teacher, Melisa McGruther, on Sept. 5.

Strapped in her pink knapsack, which held markers, glue sticks, and crayons, Emerson clutched both of her parents’ hands before dashing up to the gate to the school. When asked what she is looking forward to most about the school year, Emerson simply replied, “playing”, before swiftly agreeing with her mom that learning was another exciting part of the process.

In total, the board will be running full-day kindergarten in 76 schools for the 2013–14 school year. Additionally, Steve MacLean Public unveiled its nine new classrooms this school year. Construction began in July of last year on the expansion for students in kindergarten to Grade 8. An opening ceremony was held

on Sept. 5. “Community, staff and students worked very well together to ensure the best interests of the students were at the heart of this project,” said principal Denise Poirier. The $3-million expansion designed by ema Architects doubles the kindergarten space, adds another kindergarten play area and a soccer field in addition to the nine new classrooms.

Shannon Watson and her mom Kit MacKinnon are collecting shoes for kids in Nunavut throughout the month of September.

Shoe drive a big step for kids emma.jackson@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C;-Walk a mile in a northern kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shoes, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be sending them yours in no time. According to Kit MacKinnon, co-owner of the Foodland in Greely, many kids across Nunavut and the other northern territories live in poverty, and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford a new pair of shoes for school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting soon, and we have kids who need shoes,â&#x20AC;? MacKinnon said. Principals across the region have been emailing her with lists of exact sizes for speciďŹ c kids they know will not have proper indoor shoes this fall. More requests are expected this week as students show up for school, since many couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be reached by phone or internet beforehand. The way to help, MacKinnon said, is to bring new running shoes for school-age children to the Foodland in Greely. Volunteers will sort the shoes and Canadian North airlines will deliver them to needy communities throughout the month of September. MacKinnon and her daughter Shannon Wat-

son started the drive in August, after a teacher they know in Iqaluit mentioned that a lot of kids must go without new shoes. The MacKinnon family already hosts the Nunavut Snowsuit Fund at their store later in the fall, which last year sent hundreds of snowsuits to the north. MacKinnon also operates a ďŹ&#x201A;y-in retail business to the north. The original impetus to help families in the north came from the Scrivens family in Metcalfe. Their son Christopher Scrivens, then 21, had been working for Air Nunavut and ďŹ&#x201A;ew through many of Nunavutâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outlying communities over the course of his 10 months on the job. When his mother Patti-Anne Scrivens came to visit him he asked her to bring warm clothing for local children. From there, the pair devised a larger plan to collect warm essentials for these communities from their home in south Ottawa. New running shoes can be dropped off at MacKinnonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Foodland on Meadow Drive in Greely, or at Larga BafďŹ n on Richmond Road in Westboro. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People have already started bringing in shoes but we need lots more,â&#x20AC;? Watson said.

Barrhaven’s next sports centre on schedule Pools, rinks expected to open next fall

with one designed to also accommodate sledge hockey players, with plastic windows along the bench boards and no door sill to prevent sledges from entering and exiting the bench area. From Cambrian Road, passersby can see the spectator seating area for one rink starting to take shape, as well as the wooden beams above the future pool. Other features planned for the centre include a wading pool, gym, a cardio and weight room, an indoor running track and multipurpose rooms that can be used for activities like meetings, yoga or child care.

Nevil Hunt nevil.hunt@metroland.com

News - Looking at the Minto Recreation Complex today, it’s possible to imagine swimmers in the pool and skaters lacing them up for hockey or figure skating. There’s little more than year to go until the centre opens at Cambrian and Greenbank roads and Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder says construction is on schedule. “This is the largest recreation development in the city since amalgamation,” Harder said of the centre, which will cost $55 million to build.

SPORTS FIELD

WOODEN BEAMS

A press conference to update the public was held Sept. 4 next to the construction site to mark the installation of the huge wooden beams that will form the ceiling of the six-lane, 25-metre pool. The beams are made from laminated wood and are expected to be one of the most memorable features inside the building. Matthew Johnston is an architect with Perkins and Will Canada. He said the wooden beams were chosen for their aesthetic appeal as well as the material’s ability to deal with high humidity inside the pool area.

NEVIL HUNT/METROLAND

A construction vehicle sits at the future centre ice of one of the Minto Recreation Complex’s two rinks as construction workers form the spectator stands. The centre is expected to open on schedule in the fall of 2014 at the corner of Cambrian and Greenbank roads. A few steps away, heat won’t be an issue inside two arenas. Perkins and Will have selected an air-handling system that will capture excess heat from the rinks to preheat pool water, part

of a design that is expected to receive an environmental certification that acknowledges green design. Both rinks will be NHL-regulation size,

Outside the building will be an artificial turf field for soccer and football complete with lights for nighttime use. Johnston said the completed Minto Recreation Complex will have about 14,000 square metres of space, similar in size to the Walter Baker Centre in Barrhaven, minus its library branch. Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt said residents of rural south Ottawa will enjoy using the centre. He said his children have taken swimming lessons at the Walter Baker Centre and the growing community of Manotick always has plenty of demand for ice time. Construction contractor EllisDon chose the Sept. 4 update event to hold a barbecue on the site for construction workers and visitors, and used the funds raised to help CHEO buy child seats for parents leaving the hospital. Donations from diners and EllisDon totalled $5,000.

The Baby Show: Everything Under One Convenient Roof by Brian Turner

The City of Ottawa is developing a Waste Plan to guide the management of recyclables and garbage over the next thirty years. The City is interested in the opinions of residents on a number of proposed options to achieve waste management goals and objectives. Each of the options presented has an associated cost and, as such, public feedback will be used to assist in prioritizing spending. The City has launched a questionnaire to solicit resident feedback on speciﬁc options for improving the City’s long-term management of solid waste. The online version of the questionnaire will run until September 29th and can be found at Ottawa.ca under Public Consultations.

Wheels of hope Hundreds of bikers and community-driven individuals went on the ride of a lifetime last Saturday, Sept. 7, starting from the Ernst and Young Centre in Ottawa South, and riding to Merrickville, while raising more than $2 million for Ride the Rideau. This brings the Ride the Rideau’s four-year fundraising total to over $6.45 million. Funds raised from the event support cancer research, including the development of personalized therapies for cancer patients and clinical trials. Above, riders travel down Roger Stevens Drive outside of Osgoode on the route. At left, riders and supporters kick off this year’s event, which boasted 800 riders. “As someone who has successfully fought a battle with non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, I know only too well that there are few people who have not been touched by cancer,” said Steve West, CEO of Nordion Inc., title sponsor of Ride the Rideau. Mayor Jim Watson, who is also a cancer survivor, greeted those at the start of the race and congratulated them on their crusade to fight cancer. “The support that this community gives to the Ottawa Hospital is tremendous,” said Tim Kluke, president and CEO of the Ottawa Hospital Foundation.

The hidden costs of full-day kindergarten

any parents are feeling anxious as their children continue the staggered start into full-day kindergarten, with the Ontario government in the final stage of the program’s roll-out. There’s been a lot published to make parents feel good about the decision to send their kids to full-day kindergarten. A recent study from two Ontario universities found that children who had been in the pilot full-day program for two years – most of whom were from “vulnerable” groups in society – were better socialized and had improved language skills by grade one, compared to those who’d only attended full-day for one year, or those who had half-day kindergarten. It gave parents a warm, fuzzy feeling, especially to see highlights from this study published on the front page of a national newspaper the day after Labour Day. Unfortunately, there are a lot of potential downsides to full-day kindergarten that aren’t getting enough analysis in the media. One thing that hasn’t made headlines is the lack of caps on the number of

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse four and five-year-old kids per classroom. Take a walk down to your local school. I guarantee kindergarten won’t resemble those provincially-funded television ads at all. (You know, the ones where, like, eight cute kids are building box houses under teacher’s supervision and finger-painting with smiles on their faces)? Nope, it doesn’t look like that. Not in this city, anyway. One public school in the city’s east end running the pilot last year, for example, had 36 little ones in a single room with one teacher and one early childhood educator. As a parent described, “it was complete chaos every day.” This year, the numbers are expected to be pushed higher, with increased enrolment as parents feel the pressure to get their kids into the full-day program or risk having them left behind their peers. School

boards are pushed to the brink fiscally, with no choice but to milk the no cap rule. Most parents I know aren’t happy that their four and five-yearold kids are not being closely supervised. Teachers don’t like it much either. “What’s it going to take for them to realize they can’t have 40 kids this age in a single class with just two adults?” asked one primary school teacher friend. “It’s going to take a kid choking on their lunch because nobody’s monitoring them.” Another outcome not mentioned in the joint university

study is the link between large class sizes and bullying. One can’t flip through a newspaper these days without finding an article about the rise of bullying, even among the youngest groups of school-aged kids. Historical studies on daycare centres – where there is a ratio of one adult for every eight children for 2.5-to-6year-olds – have found that young kids in daycare centres tend to be more aggressive when they get to school than kids who have stayed home with parents, or those who have been in a home daycare environment, where ratios are lower. This makes sense if you think about masses of kids vying for the attention of a single adult. Another problem with full-day kindergarten is that we now have kids sitting still indoors from younger and younger ages for longer and longer periods of time.

This is notably bad for their physical and intellectual health, evidenced by the rise in overweight kids and the lack of creativity in our adult workforce. But, as one Nordic study found, the rigidity of play in this environment has

kid gets a chance to play king of the castle. So go ahead and feel fuzzy about the early findings that tout the benefits of full-day learning for young kids. Certainly, your kids will learn to stand in line, do rote learning,

One public school in the city’s east end running the pilot last year, for example, had 36 little ones in a single room ... another negative side effect. Kids that play in structured environments, the authors of the study noted, are more likely to establish hierarchies, where there is an increased likelihood of bullying, when compared to kids that engage in free play in more natural environments. In the latter, the researchers noted evidence of rotating hierarchies – that is to say, every

write their names and read paragraphs from early readers. They may even make friends, just by virtue of the fact they’re not at home watching television on their own. But until the government rectifies the large class sizes and the rigid, largely indoor curriculum, we should all be wary of justifying the billions of tax dollars being allocated to this experiment.

Keep an eye out for the kids

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that time of the year again when Ottawa motorists start seeing a lot more yellow on the road in the morning. Starting in September, fleets of school buses flood our streets as children return to elementary and high schools. Most schools welcome students back the day after Labour Day, but the French public and Catholic boards opened a week earlier. The colour yellow in motoristâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s language always translates to one word: caution. Motorists must keep their eyes open for children waiting on street corners. Kids will be kids, which usually means they are in constant motion. We must always remember the first rule of defensive driving: expect the unexpected. Children tend to offer a lot of unexpected behaviour, which occasionally involves a mad dash across the street chasing a ball or a friend waiting at a bus stop. Drivers would do well to drive a little more slowly the first few weeks of September. They might also want to reacquaint themselves with the rules of driving when approaching a stopped school bus with its lights flashing.

The flashing lights mean cars must come to a halt to allow children to board the bus. It also allows children and parents to safely cross the street. By law, traffic in both directions must stop anytime a school bus is stopped with its overhead alternating signal lights flashing. Yes, this causes delays, but the dangers of stealing back a few seconds of commute time by sneaking past a school bus with its signal lights flashing can be tragic. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just not worth it. If the danger of hitting a child with your vehicle isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reason enough, failing to stop for a school bus can result in a $400 to $2,000 fine upon conviction and six demerit points given to a motoristâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only for a first conviction. Each subsequent offence can result in fines ranging from $1,000 to $4,000 together with six demerit points and possible imprisonment up to six months. Staying alert while behind the wheel and being aware of the rules of the road governing school buses is everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsibility. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all winners if we educate ourselves about the rules of the road and school bus safety.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s have a chat about sports team names

aving an intelligent discussion about offensive sports team names is easier if you concede right away that the teams donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean any harm. The Nepean Redskins, when they adopted their name in 1981, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean to offend anybody. If anything, they probably wanted to honour the Washington Redskins, a National Football League team, whose logo is virtually identical. Nobody meant to denigrate native people. Nobody probably thought much about it. Team names are adopted, people cheer for the team and not much thought is given to what the team is called. I mean, the Ottawa Senators? Has anybody really thought about it? No fan thinks when he yells â&#x20AC;&#x153;Go Senators!â&#x20AC;? of Mike Duffy or Pamela Wallin. The official explanation, that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Senatorsâ&#x20AC;? refers to ancient Roman Senators, might be even more ridiculous. Why would a hockey team in the Ottawa Valley be named after some Romans? Romans never played hockey. Ottawa is about to have a football team called the RedBlacks. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think many people, if any, know what a RedBlack is, but we will dutifully cheer for such a team. Probably, because names get shortened when yelled from the bleachers, we will be chanting â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

In the context of the Redskins discussion, it should be noted that there are some team names that are happily accepted by native organizations, such as the Seminoles of Florida State University. But for the most part, times have changed. Over the last couple of decades, team after team has either abandoned names such as Redskins or Braves or Indians or changed mascots and logos to more neutral characterization. The Atlanta Braves and the Cleveland Indians both used to have an allegedly native face on their caps â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Indian one was grinning, the Braves one was screaming. Now members of the Cleveland Indians have a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Câ&#x20AC;? on their caps and the Atlanta Braves have an â&#x20AC;&#x153;A.â&#x20AC;? And so it goes. The Stanford University

mascot used to be the Stanford Indian. Now it is the Stanford Cardinal. In Ottawa, our new professional basketball team was going to be called the TomaHawks, for about a minute. Very soon after the announcement was greeted with a chorus of outrage, the TomaHawks (whose name was meant to honour a type of dunk) became the SkyHawks. As for the Washington Redskins, they carry on, but more than a few news organizations refuse to use their name in game stories. The Redskins are called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Washington.â&#x20AC;? So if political correctness is behind the attempt to get the Redskins to change their name, well, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of it around, all over North America. And on the odd occasion being correct just simply means being right. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true that some name changes have not been particularly well-motivated. In the early 1950s, baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cincinnati Reds changed to the Cincinnati Redlegs. This is because of the Communist scare associated with Sen. Joseph McCarthy. Communists were often called â&#x20AC;&#x153;redsâ&#x20AC;? and the owners of the baseball team decided that discretion was the better part of valour. Within a few years, Sen. McCarthy went away and the Cincinnati Reds reclaimed their name. Aside from the financial aspect (which the

main complainer has offered to help with), there doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to be much of a downside to the Nepean Redskins choosing an acceptable name. Theirs was a borrowed name in the first place and a Rename the Redskins contest might generate some new interest in the team. Such a contest might produce some names that resonate with our Ottawa Valley heritage. Senators is already taken and somebody somewhere might have the rights to Rough Riders. Nobody wants anything to do with Renegades any more, but somebody with imagination should be able to come up with something. Think lumber, not politics.

OSU players David Chung, Ryan Massoud and Matteo de Brienne returned from Madrid, Spain after a successful week at the famed Real Madrid Soccer Academy. As part of small group of selected players from OSU’s USA based partners, Dallas Texans, the boys received a unique inside into the soccer secrets of the world’s highest valued soccer brand, Real Madrid. Training twice a day for a week at Real’s exclusive soccer center located close to the Barajas Madrid Airport, with Real’s full time academy coaches, the group quickly realized the demands and high expectations required to develop into a top level player. Progress became evident as the week progressed as the boys realised that technique, intelligence with the ball and simplicity was priced above all by the Real coaches. The group also attended the season opener between Real Madrid and Real Betis at the famed Bernabau stadium attended by over 90,000 spectators. OSU President Bill Michalopulos stated “ this was a unique and exclusive opportunity from any player from Canada to be inside the house of the famed Real Madrid Soccer Club. This opportunity was made possible thanks to our valued alliance with the Dallas Texans. It was a tremendous learning experience for our players, one that they will hopefully use as a motivator for further development. We expect that other similar opportunities will become available to OSU players as our plans and actions to develop the best possible soccer players in Ottawa continuous”

Mayor declines to comment as wages rolled back Continued from page 1

city is doing and is surprised something like this didn’t happen sooner. “For me, the more money the city spends, the more tax dollars are going to go up,” she said, adding that something had to change eventually to ensure city recreation programs can be offered sustainably. Bay Coun. Mark Taylor, chairman of the city’s community and protective services committee, called the situation “a bit of a (human resources) matter” that affects a “limited number” of city parks and recreation employees – several hundred out of a department of several thousand. “When we hired individuals, we hired them at the rate that we believed they’re qualified to serve at, while at the same time trying to ensure we’re doing it within the negotiated framework we have with the union,” said Taylor, who found out about the issue several weeks ago. A man who used to work in city recreation and asked to remain anonymous said it’s hard for the city to attract quality instructors, especially in the summer, because they can make more money working for the YMCA. Through his spokesman, Ryan Kennery, Mayor Jim Watson declined to comment. Kennery said the matter is a “personnel issue” unrelated to Watson’s promise to freeze recreation fees during his term in office. Taylor said the city is working with the affected employees and the union, CUPE Local 503, to “comb it out to everyone’s satisfaction.” The disagreement is between the practice of managers having the flexibility to adjust salaries and the obligations of the collective agreement,

People participate in a fitness class at a city-run recreation centre. Hundreds of part-time fitness instructors recently had their pay cut. Taylor said. “(Managers) do have discretion to start people at a higher rate within the pay bands, but there are limitations to that … that are limited by the contract we have with the union,” Taylor said. Managers definitely have flexibility when it comes to wages they offer, but at question is whether that flexibility constrains them to the range of one “pay band” or if they can jump a new employee to a higher pay level. The female part-time instructor said despite amalgamation, each city facility runs independently and managers make decisions differently, whether it’s hiring at a higher pay rate or paying instructors for a full hour if they teach a 45-minute class. She called it “unsustainable.”

Kanata South (Terry Fox to West Hunt Club Road) Environmental Assessment Study Open House #2 (Final)

‘UNUSUAL’ MOVE: EXPERT

Michael Mac Neil, a labour law expert at Carleton University, said clawing back wages is an uncommon move. “If the contract actually stipulated an amount you are going to start working at, then it would

be quite unusual I think to unilaterally move it back,” he said. “I suppose it might arise in a situation where someone is claiming they made an error in their payroll and have been paying someone more than they were entitled to under a contract.” The collective agreement states that if an employee has been hired at a higher hourly rate of pay due to a competitive market or “recruitment issues,” they “shall continue to receive that hourly rate and be entitled to all negotiated percentage increases.” The agreement goes on to say if an employee’s job duties are revised in a way that reclassifies the job downwards, “the employee(s) (present incumbents only) shall continue to receive the rate of pay of the job or type of job applicable prior to the downward classification.” Taylor couldn’t comment on the details of the collective agreement because he said he’s not a labour relations expert. “Irrespective of what it might say in that chapter and verse, there could very well be something in another part of the contract with which (the city is) taking issue,” Taylor said. Taylor isn’t aware of anyone who quit as a result. “My understanding is all the employees understand fully what’s happening and why,” he said. An email from city media relations attributed to Dan Chenier, the city’s manager of parks, recreation and cultural services, said programs have not been cut as a result. “Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services will be offering the same variety, numbers and volume of programs and activities this fall as last year,” the email reads.

Carp Road Widening Environmental Assessment Study Highway 417 to Hazeldean Road Open House #1 Wednesday, September 18, 2013 Goulbourn Recreation Complex (Arena B Lobby) 1500 Shea Road, Stittsville Transit Access: Route # 96 6:30 to 9 p.m.

Monday, September 16, 2013 Hall A, Kanata Recreation Complex 100 Walter Baker Place 6:30 to 9 p.m., presentation at 7 p.m. The City of Ottawa initiated a Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study in January 2013 for the Kanata South community for the corridor encompassing Hope Side Road, Old Richmond Road and West Hunt Club Road to Highway 416. This Study is being carried out in accordance with the requirements for a Schedule ‘C’ project under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment, as revised in 2007 and 2011.

The purpose of this second and ﬁnal Open House is to: s Present the alternative road widening designs (3 lanes with reversible lane and 4 lanes with median) and intersection alternatives (signals and roundabouts) s Present the evaluation of the alternative designs s Present the technically preferred design.

The City of Ottawa has initiated the Carp Road Widening Environmental Assessment (EA) Study to determine the most appropriate means to accommodate and manage increasing transportation requirements in the northwest Stittsville area, speciﬁcally along Carp Road from HWY 417 to Hazeldean Road as illustrated in the key map.

Consultation There will be on-going public consultation activities during the course of the study. This ﬁrst Open House will provide an overview of study progress to date, including the evaluation of alternative corridor alignments and an overview of design alternatives which will be considered in next phase of the study. Your participation in Open House meetings is an important component of the study where you can discuss the project with the study team and provide feedback.

Upon completion of this study, an Environmental Study Report will be available for public review and comment. A notice of study completion will be published at that time.

The EA study is being undertaken in accordance with Ontario’s EA Act, fulﬁlling requirements as a Municipal Class EA process for a Schedule ‘C’ project. The EA process will involve developing, assessing and evaluating alternatives, resulting in a Recommended Plan which will be presented to City Council for approval.

Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accommodation, please call or e-mail the Project Lead below before the event.

Information on the Carp Road Widening EA Study is available on the City’s project web site at: ottawa.ca/carproad

Interested persons can provide comments throughout the EA process. Any comments received will be collected under the Environmental Assessment Act and, with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record.

“From my perspective it wasn’t very wellthought out,” she said. A request to interview the city’s parks and recreation manager and the city’s lawyer were denied. Instead, media relations officer Andrea Ruttan sent an email on behalf of city solicitor Rick O’Connor stating “the city does not comment publicly on specific personnel matters or workplace issues.” Representatives from CUPE 503 did not return calls for comment. Union representatives have told fitness instructors not to sign city documents agreeing to the lower pay scale until the issue is resolved, the female instructor said. No taxpayer dollars were wasted, Taylor said. The city knew the salaries and budgeted for them. “We weren’t paying out money we didn’t realize we were paying out and certainly no one has taken any money that they weren’t entitled to,” he said. The parks, recreation and culture department is forecast to have a $1.81-million deficit by the end of the year, $1.7-million of which is due to anticipated sponsorship revenue the city didn’t get. The city budgeted $61.8 million for salaries and benefits for all employees in that department.

Schools struggle to meet demand for dyslexia testing In the second of a three-part series, we look at the school resources available for children with dyslexia Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Tracy Armstrong noticed something was wrong when her daughter was in Grade 1. Her daughter, who was in a French immersion class at a local public school, was having trouble learning to read. She isn’t alone. A study done by the American National Institute for Health says that nearly 20 per cent of the population has dyslexia. The International Dyslexia of Association Ontario branch, places that number at 15 to 20 per cent of the population. That breaks down to four or five children in each classroom who have some degree of the learning disability. “One in five kids have dyslexia, they should be doing better,” Armstrong said of the school boards in Ottawa. Armstrong, who lives in Nepean, said her daughter’s first grade teacher wasn’t receptive to what she felt were warning signs of the learning disability. Most parents don’t notice anything is amiss until school starts, but according to “Challenging the Myths: Erasing the Stigma of Dyslexia”, written by private school founder Shelley Holloway, they start much earlier. It can start with the late development of talking compared to their peers and difficulty learning the names for shapes, colours, letters and numbers. Even poor articulation – like saying “gispetti” instead of spaghetti, can be an early red flag. Holloway began her research into dyslexia after volunteering to help read to children at her son’s school. “It was Grade 1 and he wouldn’t remember from day to day what sound a letter would make, we made very little progress,” Holloway said, adding there wasn’t a lot of support available then. Dr. Tim Hogan, the head psychologist for the Ottawa public school board, said there are a number of reasons a child would have trouble reading in Grade 1, and letter reversals may not yet be a cause for concern. “In Grade 1, I would say about 40 per cent of the cohort would experience those problems to some extent,” he said. “Teachers will try to correct mislabeling letters or associating them with the wrong sound. If we continue to see they’re not sorting it out in Grade 2 then we might look to other methods.” But Armstrong said the longer the school waited, the more difficult things became for her daughter. “We had a much more receptive teacher in Grade 2 but we didn’t want to wait any longer so we had her tested privately,” Armstrong said. This testing is the coveted psychological assessment that would help to determine whether or not her daugh12

ter had a learning disability. The tests are done by the school boards, but the wait lists are long and many parents get frustrated with lengthy waits and subsequent barriers to in-school resources so they seek assessments from private psychologists – either paying out of pocket or using health insurance if they have it. Armstrong said the first test she had done cost $2,200. Hogan said that while he feels the Ottawa public board is one of the better-resourced systems in the province, many parents are stepping outside the system to get their kids tested. Hogan said there are 23 full-time equivalent psychologist positions within the public board. There are an additional 30 speech and language pathologists that serve the board’s more than 100 schools. Hogan said typically each psychologist is responsible for up to eight elementary schools, based on the school population and the needs, and they may spend half a day per week at each school, or one day every two weeks. “Each school identifies five priority students each year to be assessed,” he said, adding a psychologist’s job within the board involves a lot more than just doing assessments. There is no set list of criteria, determining which student is picked for assessment, and the testing would look for markers of any of the Ministry of Education’s 14 defined exceptionalities – everything from the gifted to autism. Linda Barbetta, head of the Learning Disabilities Association of Ottawa Carleton, whose three children all have varying degrees of dyslexia, said she suspects the children who act out are the ones who get placed on the list. “The student who is suffering silently at the back of the class won’t get noticed,” she said. Hogan said learning disability classes are not meant to serve as a placeholder for students with behavioural problems. He added more parents seem to be coming to the school with assessments in hand. “I don’t know if the issue is more prevalent or there are more private psychologists available,” he said. “But special programs and resources can be made available before the formal testing.” Chief psychologist for the Ottawa Catholic school board, Elizabeth Paquette, said from the school’s perspective, the first step for intervention with a reading difficulty is not psychological resources or intervention. “First we would do remedial reading, give the student extra time to process for tests and rule out other potential learning disabilities,” she said. There are 11 full-time equivalent psychologist positions in the Catho-

Ottawa South News EMC - Thursday, September 12, 2013

lic board and each would be responsible for 10 schools. Much like the public board, each school identifies five priority students each fall to be tested. “We would look at students who are very withdrawn and don’t want to be in school,” she said. Paquette said while an assessment doesn’t have to be done for an individualized education plan, it must be done for the learning disability classes available for grades 4, 5 and 6 students. “The system classes are more strategy based,” Paquette said. Paquette said she has been working in the school system for 25 years and the diagnostic tools are becoming more refined, but the assessments have also become more complex. “There are challenges, there is a bigger caseload now,” she said. No matter what test is done, the results will never be listed under what Armstrong feels is the proper name for the condition. Dyslexia is not in the diagnostic manual used by psychologists, meaning many are reluctant to use the term. As a result, it is often referred to as a languagebased learning disability. Barbetta says she thinks the broad-based term does a disservice to students. “It’s too generic and focuses on accommodation rather than remediation,” she said. “I think it would be very costly to educate teachers on dyslexia and the teaching methods though if the school boards started to use the term.” Hogan said in the early days of his professional career, the term dyslexia was still being used. “It’s no longer a DSM (diagnostic manual) classification, but that doesn’t mean the phenomena has changed,” he said. “In all likelihood, it’s a learning disability with a neurological basis.” Hogan said focusing on the fact that the child has a reading problem and has difficulty with language or math skills, should direct the student to the resources. But Rob Kirwan, who heads the public board’s special education advisory committee, said with the growing number of recognized learning disabilities and dwindling funding, resources are tough to get. “It becomes a case of pitting kids with (attention deficit disorder) against kids with autism as they compete for dollars,” he said. Holloway, founder of Mindware Academy, a private school for children with learning disabilities, said that people with dyslexia require specific one-to-one remediation. “Schools often lack the time, the money and the specific skills to offer such remediation,” she said. “But by labeling the condition as language difficulty, schools are free to use other methods of remediation.” Holloway says these methods have little to no success with the dyslexia learner. Based on her experience, Armstrong said she agreed. “The first test was kind of incon-

clusive,” Armstrong said. “It showed she had a strong likelihood for having a learning disability.” The test recommended Armstrong’s daughter, who was enrolled in French immersion and was having difficulty learning a second language, switch to the English stream. The test also indicated difficulty with reading, writing and working memory – all common traits for someone with dyslexia. Armstrong’s daughter was moved to an English program, but there weren’t many supports in place. In the meantime, her daughter became introverted and quiet. “Her anxiety was extremely high,” Armstrong said. “When (students) are anxious, they can’t learn. They are on overload.” Despite her concerns, Armstrong said she was dismissed by the school and even some of her friends. “I had people tell me that if I wasn’t so stressed out then maybe she could read better,” Armstrong said.

The student who is suffering silently at the back of the class won’t get noticed LINDA BARBETTA

By Grade 4, Armstrong said she still felt everyone was dismissing the situation. She was asked if her daughter was born late in the year – she’s a January baby, or if her daughter was getting enough reading practice at home. There were supports in place, but Armstrong said they often left her daughter feeling isolated. “One teacher discovered that if she was tested orally, she would perform much better because she wasn’t limited by her writing,” Armstrong said. “But they would make her answer the questions on a recorder in the hallway by herself. How must that have made her feel?” At the beginning of Grade 4 she had her tested again. The same psychologist who saw her in Grade 2 retested to fill in the blanks. “She came back right away with a diagnosis of dyslexia, and I thought we would get all this support because now I had a diagnosis,” Armstrong said. But that wasn’t the case. In-class accommodations were varying depending on the teacher and the reading support wasn’t there, Armstrong said, “because she was in Grade 4 and they don’t teach them to

read after Grade 3,” she said. So Armstrong and her husband decided to spend $3,000 on a private, week-long course called the Gift of Dyslexia. The course uses multi-sensory teaching techniques. “Basically, there’s 220 words in the English language that don’t have a picture associated with them. The point is to find a way to teach them those words. It’s clay and picture based.” For the first time ever Armstrong said her daughter felt like someone understood her style of learning. But the success was short lived. “I would go into her school and work with her when she would have been having French class,” Armstrong said, adding by then she had quit work to be available to help with her daughter’s schooling. “But we found that unless she was doing it everyday and it was incorporated into her schoolwork, it wasn’t helping.” By Grade 5, Armstrong knew the gap between her daughter’s reading and writing ability was greater than the school thought. She refused to sign the school’s individualized education plan because she felt the supports weren’t working. Another test showed she was right. “I was shocked when they told me they didn’t want to change anything,” Armstrong said, adding the school told her they felt they could close the gap the next school year. “She’s always loved school though, that’s the weird part,” Armstrong said. “If only teachers could channel that and teach her the way she needs to learn, then she would soar.” By the time her daughter hit Grade 6, Armstrong said she had had enough and enrolled her daughter in a private school designed to help kids with dyslexia and other learning disabilities. Now she’s in Grade 8, and while there’s still a gap, they’re working with the school to close it. “The best part now is she knows she’s not alone,” Armstrong said, adding her daughter is much more confident. “It’s not the academic piece as much as the confidence, because once you shatter a kid, it’s very hard to build them back up.” But the tuition cost $15,000 a year. “I feel fortunate we can afford it,” Armstrong said. “If she has dreams we want her to be able to realize them. But I feel very let down by the public school system.” From tutoring methods to tax credits, Armstrong said she plans to start a website to help other parents who are navigating the path from diagnosis to remediation. “I feel like we made some mistakes along the way, so if we can take away the learning curve for other parents then I feel good about that.” In the final installment of the series, we will examine some of the options for parents in the community to help children with dyslexia.

Mayor launches wheelchair hockey’s 2013 season Ottawa Power Wheelchair Hockey League starts Sept. 15 Staff

Sports - Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson will launch the Ottawa Power Wheelchair Hockey League hockey season and announce the expansion of two additional teams at the Greenboro Community Centre on Sept. 15. Watson will also be presenting bronze medals to 12 members of the league’s Ottawa Capitals, who placed third at the Canadian Electric Wheelchair Hockey Association Canadian championships in London, Ont., last month. The OPWHL is honoured to have our mayor show support for this extremely valuable community run program,” said Donna Haycock, chairwoman of the league board. “ The OPWHL is doubling in size again and expanding to four league teams. Mr. Watson will also be acknowledging our wheelchair athletes who proudly represented the city of Ottawa at

the Canadian championships along with other teams from across Canada.” The league is launching the fifth season and expects close to 40 wheelchair athletes from Ottawa and surrounding areas to compete in the event. Along with new and returning players, new coaches, referees and game assistants are excited to have the season underway. The league was established in the fall of 2009 and provides an organized, recreational and social program for people with disabilities. All of the athletes use power wheelchairs and have limited or no upper body strength and/or mobility. Sporting programs for people in power wheelchairs are severely limited in Ottawa. The league offers an opportunity for members to become part of a team, and in addition, recognizes and celebrates team and individual achievements.

Southwest stuffed sweet potatoes is a healthy side dish Lifestyle - Here is a healthy, colourful, kid-friendly meal – and vegetarian too. Cutting the sweet potatoes in half to bake shortens the cooking time considerably. Grill up extra corn and roast a red pepper for this dish. If you like a little heat, kick it up with hot sauce or serve it on the side for the adults. Serve with a salad. Preparation time: 15 minutes. Cooking time: 40 to 55 minutes. Serves four. INGREDIENTS

• 4 medium sweet potatoes, about 375 g (12 oz) each • vegetable oil • 250 ml (1 cup) cooked corn kernels – about two cobs • 250 ml (1 cup) canned black beans, drained and well rinsed • 125 ml (1/2 cup) diced roasted sweet red pepper • 3 green onions, sliced • 15 ml (1 tbsp) ground cumin • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) each salt and pepper • 125 ml (1/2 cup) shredded jalapeno havarti, cheddar or moz-

zarella cheese PREPARATION

Scrub the sweet potatoes and cut in half lengthwise. Brush the cut sides with a little oil. Place, cut side down, on a parchment paper-lined shallow baking sheet then bake in a 190 C (375 F) oven until the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with knife – about 35 to 45 minutes. Let them cool enough to handle then scoop out the

flesh, leaving a one-centimetre (1/2-inch) shell. In a large bowl, mash the flesh until smooth. Fold in the corn, beans, red pepper and green onions, then season with cumin, salt and pepper. Spoon the filling into shells and return to the baking sheet. Sprinkle each half with 15 ml (1 tbsp) of cheese. Bake them until heated through and the cheese melts, for about five to 10 minutes.

Sculpture exhibit offers something for everyone New piece to be set up outside St. Brigid’s Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

Arts - More than 20 local artists will showcase some of their best work at this year’s premier sculpture show in Lowertown. Dimensions is presented by the National Capital Network of Sculptors will take place from Sept. 12 to 15 at St. Brigid’s Centre for the Arts. Twenty-eight sculptors from across the city will showcase two or three pieces each at the exhibition. Admission is free and many of the artists will have their work for sale, as well as on display. Norman Pirollo will have three works featured at the exhibit. The Edwards-based wood carver said this exhibition is the main event of the year for the sculpture organization. “It’s an art sale and an exhibit all in one,” he said. A furniture maker by day, Pirollo said he picked up sculpting because it offered him more artistic freedom than his regular job normally affords. “Sculpting is more free-form, it’s more interesting, and not rigid. It’s beauty and artistic,” he said. Pirollo’s three pieces will follow a fire theme, with the pieces resembling

flames. The four-day show will open at 6 p.m. on Thursday night with a visit from Mayor Jim Watson, and will include free wine and food. The Friday evening, from 6 p.m. onward, will see every artist in the show on-hand for patrons to meet and speak with. On the weekend the show is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. An annual event, the show will feature something new this year – one artist’s piece will be on display outside the centre. “It was too big to fit inside, so you will be see it from the street,” Pirollo said. The goal is for that particular piece to encourage area residents and tourists visiting the ByWard Market to stop by and check out the show. Aside from the outside installation, there will be sculptures of all kinds inside, including stone, bronze, mixedmedia and “3D” art. “There is something for everyone at this show,” Pirollo said. “You will get to see the best sculpture work from the region.” For more information about the show, or to find a full list of the artists participating, please visit sculptureottawa.ca.

#ELEBRATING YEARS Ken Blackburn’s Canterbury Taekwondo: Choose the Right Instruction for the Right Reasons More than one parent has experienced the exasperation of enrolling a son or daughter in an extra-curricular activity that they begged and pleaded for, only to be mystified a few weeks later when the interest has vanished and getting their children to attend becomes a battle. This can happen even after parents and children do their homework, check references, and make, what they think, is the best choice possible. What these unfortunate families have discovered is that you can train anywhere but there is a world of difference between one instructor and the next that will keep the child interested and engaged. When it comes to Taekwondo (the Korean martial art that combines self-defense with sport and exercise), the right choice is easy and has been the same for the last 25 years: Master Ken Blackburn of Canterbury Taekwondo on Lancaster Road in Ottawa. It is the instructor that makes the difference and that is what separates Ken Blackburn apart from others. Many claim to have years of experience but in reality they are counting when they themselves were young children or were personally training but not actually teaching. Ken has been teaching the art of taekwondo to children, youth and adults full time since he was a young adult (30 years). With all of the accolades that Ken has achieved, the most significant is the thousands of children he has motivated and helped to become their best. Ken has trained under some of the very best Martial Artists in the world including several world champions, which has enhanced Ken’s journey of learning. Ken’s journey of learning in the martial arts is just as long as his quest to discover how to motivate and challenge his students. The results he has achieved and continues to reach for won’t soon be duplicated in just any academy or classroom. With the length of time Ken has been teaching, he frequently runs into a former student that Ken taught as a child but are now a young adult, it is not the Taekwondo training they received that they remember most but how Ken taught and motivated them, and the life lessons they learned. With Ken, Taekwondo is the martial art that is the vehicle used to deliver such life lessons and the benefits that martial arts training should have: Self confidence, respect for self and others, self esteem, discipline. The themes

behind and intertwined with Taekwondo represent what Ken stands for and what parents want for their children and their generation. Accountability: First, Ken takes the time to listen and find out what prospective students are hoping to achieve. Most people don’t know that there are several distinct streams of Taekwondo instruction in Canada and they don’t lead to the same goals. With Ken Blackburn; At Ken Blackburn’s Canterbury Taekwondo, a student can succeed all the way to the Olympics if they choose. But the atmosphere and teaching is so much more than just punching, kicking and sport. Talking to any of the students, it is the role model, structure, fun and family atmosphere that makes the school such a great place to train. To achieve this Ken is committed to continually increase his own knowledge and skill set by actively training so that his students receive the benefit of a dedicated master of the arts. This year he not only celebrates his 25th year as a premier teacher but he received his Song Moo Kwang 6th Dan Black Belt (a very rare and honoured award). During their first ever trip to Canada the founder of the undisputed champions of the sport, the Korean Tigers Demonstration Team presented Master Ken with this recognition. Honour of Tradition: No school in the region can match Ken’s dedication, not only to the martial arts, but more importantly to his students. While fads and trends come and go, Ken manages to keep true to historic and traditional values of the crafts he has mastered in a method that engages his students and keeps them coming back for each session, eager to learn. More than any other individual or team sport; a proper grounding in the martial arts brings new senses of confidence and self-esteem. The lessons of focus and concentration provide skill-sets that serve students in other academic and social facets of their lives, and not just for a short time but also for years ahead. And the overwhelming sense of family where all students train and achieve to help the development of others, builds the ability for students to create meaningful friendships that support one another. Talking to one parent, who is amazed to see the tremendous growth in his young 7 year old daughters self-confidence and self esteem using the amazing benefits of the program in her daily life. Respect: Master Ken’s successes stems from his years as a competitor and coach both at national and international levels. He has learned the difference between being an educator over simply being a trainer and he has reached the highest goal possible: becoming an effective educator for children. All this was achieved, according to

Ken, because he respects his students and treats them with dignity, no matter what their age, skill level, or desire. This is clearly demonstrated in the fact that a substantial portion of Ken’s students have been with him 5-10 years later. They may have started out with only faint hopes, but through Ken’s tutelage, they have mastered challenges, developed leadership and teamwork skills and have gone on to successful professional careers in their adult years. Integrity: For those parents worried that instruction in the martial arts will turn their child into a school-yard terror, Master Ken, like other responsible coaches and instructors, focuses on self-defense and form rather than aggression. Through his example, his students learn more than just moves and positions, they learn that careful thought and honourable spirit applied before force, yields better solutions to any problem. Fairness: With Ken Blackburn at Canterbury Taekwondo is an inclusive institution, open to all ages and abilities. It offers the advantage of a wide variety of classes to serve children as young as 3 all the way up to senior adults in several different disciplines. It starts with the Little Leopards program (3-7 year-olds), progressing to regular classes, to masters level, and even an Olympic program to help prepare students for the ultimate in international competition. Ken also offers the regions only official program in Hapkido the Korean martial art of self-defense. Fairness extends to family budgets as well as students and this season Canterbury Taekwondo is offering a 3-month unlimited class program for only $119 (with complimentary uniforms for Taekwondo students). Ken Blackburn’s Canterbury Taekwondo school is located at 2784B Lancaster Road (at Walkley) and offers plenty of free parking and is served by major public transit routes. Classes are offered Monday through Thursday and on Saturdays. Master Ken welcomes newcomers and is happy to let anyone try a class without charge to find out if instruction in the finer art of physical and mental training is for them (few ever leave after just one session). Check out more details at www. canterburytaekwondo.com or call 613 897 5425. Make this the year you or your child takes the first step on a journey to excellence.

One particular fair left a lasting impression

eeks had passed since the Renfrew Fair, but I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the picture out of my mind. It haunted me when I lay in bed at night and many times during the day. Had Uncle Lou not sent Mother money with the sole purpose of taking us ďŹ ve children to the Renfrew Fair, there is a good chance we may not have gone that year. Mother said money was scarcer than henâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teeth and that year we may have to miss the fair. It would have been the ďŹ rst time ever and how Uncle Lou knew of our situation is beyond me. But he always seemed to be there with a helping hand when we needed it most. So crisp bills arrived in the mail. Not American, even though Uncle Lou lived in New York, but Canadian money simply sent in an envelope with a note scrawled on a piece of note paper saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;enjoy the fair.â&#x20AC;? So we were going after all. The usual preparations took place: a big lunch packed in an 11-quart basket, shards of ice from the ice house in

MARY COOK Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories a glass jar of iced tea, sugar cookies, and a bowl of sliced cucumbers, radishes, and green onions. There was no such thing as plastic containers or Saran wrap back in the 1930s. A couple blankets to throw down on the grass and we were all set. Mother had doled out Uncle Louâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money to each of us to spend as we wished. My sister Audrey said she was sure she had kept back a bill or two and we kids would never see it. It would go right into the sugar bowl with Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s egg money. The three brothers vanished into the crowd at the fairgrounds almost before Father brought the old Model T to a stop. They were told not to spend their money on food â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there was plenty under the blanket on the grass.

Mother would go to see the embroidery work and the baking and Father would head for the livestock. Audrey was saddled with looking after me, although there was no danger of a youngster of my age wandering off alone in those days. I knew where the blanket was and I would be perfectly safe to come and go as I pleased. Audrey said she would give me half an hour and that was it. Then I was on my own. I told her I would like to just walk around and wander in front of the big tents where the side-shows were knowing perfectly well going inside was forbidden territory for me. But always out on the platform was a look of what a quarter would get you inside. I was fascinated at one stage where a little monkey sat on a chair eating a banana. I

have no idea what was in the tent, but Audrey assured me it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t suitable for the eyes of a six-year-old. We wandered on, me holding tightly to Audreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hand, passing one tent after another, each one looking very forbidding to me. Then we came to the last tent in the row. A man who looked like had hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen bath water for a year was honking through a horn inviting people in to see what he called â&#x20AC;&#x153;the oddities of mankindâ&#x20AC;?. I had to ask Audrey what oddities meant and she said just to look up on the stage. There stood two little people, their hair had been cut close to their heads and they stood just a few feet tall. Their faces were wrinkled and even at my young age I saw such sadness and despair in their eyes as they scanned the crowd around the stage. They looked so frightened and the man kept yelling out to the people in front that for a quarter â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;just twenty-ďŹ ve centsâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you could go into the tent and have a closer look. My heart went out to those two little people on

the stage, in the blinding sun and unbearable heat, and I wanted to climb up the steps and yank the horn out of the manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands and go to the little people and put my arms around them. I wanted to tell the people who were willing to part with a quarter to turn away, look the other way. And I started to cry. My eyes connected with one of the little people and her face I thought softened and I smiled in her direction. But the man was already shooing them off the stage and into the tent where those who had paid could get a closer look. I asked my sister why

people would pay to see two such pitiful people and I told her I wanted to go to where our blanket was and sit for a spell and try to get the picture out of my mind. That year the rides didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem as much fun and the candy ďŹ&#x201A;oss not as sweet. The picture stayed with me long after the Renfrew Fair was over. Like two lost souls, they were. When I went to bed at night after that day at the fair, when it came time for what Mother called our â&#x20AC;&#x153;silent prayers,â&#x20AC;? I remembered the two little people and I prayed that someone would rescue them from the man with the horn, the hot tent and the eyes of strangers. R0012233909

The development will see the current family home, pool and guest house at the corner of Drouin Avenue and North River Road replaced with four townhomes facing Drouin and two semidetached homes facing the park. The developer, Stan Levine of Sherbrooke Urban Developments, also developed the homes across the street from the site in question at 1111 North River Rd.. “We are working with a different architect, but the idea, the design, the large terrace, proved very popular and will be similar,” Levine said. Levine grew up in Sandy Hill overlooking Overbrook and said he is looking forward to building in the neighbourhood again. He called the area a hidden gem and highlighted the fact that pedestrian access, transit and proximity to shopping and highways will make this development appealing to potential buyers. Levine added the city’s current plans to place a permanent pedestrian bridge across the Rideau River connecting to Sandy Hill will offer the community a great opportunity to walk or bike to downtown. Levine is seeking a bylaw amendment to change the existing zoning with respect to lot size and height of the new buildings. The area of each lot varies in size, but is between 89.25 to 140.2 square metres.

MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

A meeting will be held on Sept. 12 in Overbrook concerning a development proposed for 1111 North River Road. The developer, who also built these townhomes at 1093-99 North River Rd. aims to build six similar-looking townhomes on the property. Every square metre of the current lot will house the new townhomes, parking and a small side yard. The proposal, prepared by Lloyd Phillips and Associates Ltd., argues the proposed request to alter the land setbacks from six metres to 5.1 metres makes for a desirable

and appropriate development of the property. The Overbrook Community Association has been advertising the upcoming meeting, asking residents to share their views and review the proposed plans. Association president Sheila Perry said the

group aims to hold consultations on every proposed project in the community. “It’s part of our responsibility in the community that we consult the community properly,” Perry said. See OVERBROOK, page 25

Overbrook needs to be consulted first, say residents Continued from page 23

She was hesitant to comment on the specifics of the project, wanting to wait until the meeting, but said the change in zoning and proposed density was a bit of a concern. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are very much pushing the envelope height-wise,â&#x20AC;? Perry said, adding the development was too much for an area full of small bungalows. Among the comments collected by Perry from area residents include concerns about more traffic, more people, more noise added to the street, privacy for adjacent homes might be affected and the potential loss of trees which exist on the site. According to the submitted plans, the existing trees will remain along the street and narrow buffer areas. The plan also states the site is well located in close proximity to major arterial roads such as Vanier Parkway and McArthur Avenue, which will help minimize traffic on the local residential streets. The eight townhomes Levine developed across the street are also of similar size and height. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was something we wanted to bring back,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We received a lot of compliments on the first one.â&#x20AC;? Overbrook is not new to infill, as

many developments are popping up on North River Road, as well as along Presland Road, King George Street, Queen Mary Street and Coventry Road. Because of this influx, the association has taken a proactive approach, by creating the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own community design plan. DESIGN PLAN

Design plans are something typically developed by the city, taking zoning studies and policies of the official plan to a community scale. In Overbrookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, this is not a citysanctioned community design plan. The president said issues ranging from home ownership to transit and pedestrian access are mentioned in the plan, adding that finding the right balance for a community is a key factor for the plan. The meeting regarding 1111 North River Rd. begins at 7 p.m. at the Overbrook Community Centre and will allow residents to speak with the architect, the owner and city planning staff about the project. The comment period for the application is in progress and full details of the plans are currently available on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at app01.ottawa.ca/ postingplans.

Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health focus of new breast imaging suite Nevil Hunt nevil.hunt@metroland.com

News - Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health got a shot in the arm on Sept. 4 with the opening of the breast centre at the Queensway Carleton Hospital. The Shirley E. Greenberg breast imaging suite brings together multiple forms of testing in one place. The goal is to have patients â&#x20AC;&#x201C; overwhelmingly women â&#x20AC;&#x201C; get all the tests they need in one private and comfortable place and in as short a period as possible. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expected that the hospital will perform about 5,500 mammograms, 1,400 breast ultrasounds and 2,600 bone density exams in the new suite in 2013-14. With advances in technology, such as digital mammography, and the larger space in the suite, patients can often move between ultrasound, mammography and bone density machines in a single visit, instead of having to make multiple trips for each service. If concerns are identified during testing, patients can be sent to see a surgeon within two weeks of their

Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Rourke said the image quality delivered by the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s equipment has improved over the years and techniques are less invasive.

The added space of the Shirley E. Greenberg also means thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room to add a second mammography machine at a later date, although that will take an investment of about $600,000. See DONATION, page 26

Donation makes new suite possible Continued from page 25

O’Rourke said that having enough space to provide all the breast suite’s services is expected to improve outcomes for patients. “We’ve got everything that we need and ... we will buy new equipment as the community grows,” she said. A donation of $1 million from Shirley E. Greenberg helped the QCH Foundation

build the new imaging suite. The Greenberg family has provided volunteer and financial help to the hospital for many years, including funding for the Irving Greenberg Family Cancer Centre, which opened at the hospital in 2010. Irving was also the chair of the hospital’s first-ever fundraising campaign. Hospital board chairwoman Clare Becton introduced Shirley to an audience at the opening of the breast suite.

“Shirley’s support for women’s health in this city has been legendary,” Becton said. Shirley spoke briefly – drawing the biggest laugh of the day – before taking a tour of the breast suite and unveiling a sign. “I have a new hip,” she said, thanking the medical staff who performed the operation. “I’m only sorry the rest of me doesn’t match.” She wished the staff “a bright and everbetter future.”

Full-Day Kindergarten for Ottawa South Students Our Full-Day Kindergarten (FDK) program is giving children a better start in school and preparing them for success in Grade 1. A recent study conducted in partnership with Queen’s and McMaster universities, showed that FDK reduced risks in social competence development, language and cognitive development, communication skills and general knowledge development. Giving our youngest learners the tools they need to succeed in Grade 1 and beyond is part of our government’s plan to prepare students for a productive and successful future and build a fair and prosperous society. I’m pleased that this September, seven more Ottawa South schools will have FDK. By September 2014, it will be in all publicly funded schools. To ﬁnd out which school near you has FDK, please visit edu.gov.on.ca/ kindergarten.

Back to school! Students and families in Ottawa South and all over our province are heading back to school this month – to friends, activities, and learning. I still remember the hope and excitement in our household at the beginning of each school year when my three children were younger, and I extend those same feelings of hope and excitement to all students in our community.

City runs for Terry Fox on Saturday Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

Community - Hundreds will flock to Sir Wilfrid Laurier Secondary School on Saturday to take part in the Terry Fox Run. Runs will be happening across Ottawa and beyond. It will be the 33rd time Orléans resident Nelson Waddell takes part in the run. He started the annual 10 kilometre trek for cancer when he was 39. He aims to eventually raise a total of $100,000 in pledges for the Terry Fox Run, and is hoping this year he will break the $95,000 mark. Waddell is now retired, and can’t pass around the hat at work anymore for sponsors, so he’s turned to other methods. He emailed his ball league for ages 60 plus for sponsorship, and conducted a penny drive that raised $400. Every year, he keeps his certificate and purchases a Terry Fox Run T-shirt to add to his collection, and brings them all to the next year’s race. He’ll be bringing them this year to Sir Wilfrid Laurier. “That encourages kids to say, ‘Oh jeez, this old fellow has been doing this for years,” Waddell said. Organizer Chris Goneau will also enter a team, as the family does annually, in memory of his daughter Valérie, who participated in the Terry Fox race with her own team before she passed away a couple years ago from cancer. Valérie’s Team has raised $50,000 over the past three years and welcomes anyone who wants to register to join them in their annual run. The team will gather at 8 a.m. after handing in pledges, and set off on the 5 kilometre walk/run at 8:30 a.m. The event allows participants to walk, run or rollerblade five kilometres or the 10kilometre route. Schools can still look forward to their annual school Terry Fox Runs at the end of the month. Waddell doesn’t stop cheering, and looks forward to encouraging the St. Clare School children, displaying signs on his front lawn nearby.

The 2012 runs provided funding to three Ottawa groups, with slightly over $6 million for the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, $25,000 for the Ottawa Regional Cancer Centre, and $1.5 million for the University of Ottawa. Pre-registration is not required, and anyone that wants to show up can come to the event, which runs from 7:30 a.m. to noon. Participants can start their run, walk or rollerblade at any time in that window. Registration opens at 7 a.m.

Diesel Road supporters give up the fight Line roads in Osgoode receive new monikers laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - They may not be as catchy as the new “Thunder Road,” but a newly approved slate of names for Osgoode roads will honour the area’s history. It’s part of the city’s effort to clean up duplications in its rural numbered line and concession roads. The goal is to alleviate confusion and prevent emergency responders from heading to the wrong road. The following changes were approved for the numerical line roads located east of the Rideau River in Osgoode Ward: * 2nd Line Road will become Murdock Road * 3rd Line Road will become Forget Road * 4th Line Road will become Dalmac Road * 5th Line Road will become Swale Road * 6th Line Road will become Pioneer Line Road The changes will begin to take effect in March of 2014 and Canada Post will offer property owners a year of free mail redirection. As with all commemorative renamings, the process wasn’t easy, said Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson. “This issue is very stressful on everyone,” he said. “It is really a very emotional issue.”

Supporters of an eleventh-hour effort to rename 6th Line Road as “Diesel Road” to honour a young man who died on that road last fall. More than 1,000 residents signed a petition lobbying for Diesel, the nickname of 22-yearold hunting accident victim Andrew Winnicki. But Thompson said the effort came too late, after residents on the road had been consulted and voted for a new name – Pioneer Road. The Diesel name would have also created the same problem the renamings are trying to fix – it would have duplicated the name of another city street. Rather than push the issue, supporters of the Diesel Road renaming will refocus their efforts on commemorating Winnicki in a different way, Thompson said. “They came a little late to the process. I explained things are probably not going to change … so they inquired about other suggestions,” Thompson said. “They’re moving on.” Supporters of the Diesel Road renaming did not attend the meeting and could not be reached before this newspaper’s deadline. Given Winnicki’s love of sports like baseball and hockey, a charitable sports tournament in his name might be a good option, Thompson suggested, or friends and family could pursue sponsoring a ball diamond or other sports feature in his name.

“’Diesel’s Diamond’ is something I liked,” Thompson said. The Diesel Road proposal wasn’t the only controversy plaguing the road renamings. Patricia McCaffrey came to the agriculture and rural affairs committee meeting on Sept. 5 to plead the case that 5th Line Road should be named after her ancestor, Thomas McCaffrey. McCaffrey is already used as a name for a different street in the city, but it commemorates a different family. Four McCaffrey families still live on 5th Line Road, and 20 residents she spoke to who live there supported her idea, she said. “Everyone I talked to did not favour Swale Road,” she said. Another 5th Line Road resident, Harvey

Linton, stuck by the Swale name. It commemorates a small schoolhouse that has a storied history of being moved back and forth along the stretch of road, he said, depending on the whims of the school trustees at the time. During one move, it mysteriously burnt down. “I think it has a but of a history there with it,” Linton said. “I would like to see it carried on.” Thompson had another reason for supporting the Swale name. There were at least four families who live on the road ready to battle to have it named after them if the city decided to ditch the Swale Road suggestion and re-open the debate. “I think it would cause a huge turmoil,” he said. “We’d have to start all over again and there would be a real battle.”

Tax breaks coming for OrlĂŠans redevelopments New program aims to create local jobs laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - More tax breaks for new business developments in OrlĂŠans will help level the playing field, says the local chamber of commerce. Newly approved incentives for builders to redevelop underused sites and old buildings will help boost OrlĂŠansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; faltering economy, said Jamie Kwong, executive director of the OrlĂŠans Chamber of Commerce. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now, we can strongly say weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a live and play community. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a live-work-play community,â&#x20AC;? Kwong said. The grants will â&#x20AC;&#x153;ensure that the community grows in a sustainable manner in which all residents have employment options,â&#x20AC;? she added. Both homes and jobs have grown steadily in OrlĂŠans, but with a ratio of 0.52 local jobs per household, the area seriously lags behind the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s target of 1.3 local jobs per household. Difficulty attracting major employers outside the retail and hospitality industries was cited as a major issue in a city report. Kwong said she has spoken to business owners who would like to expand but they have no space to do it.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have heard of people who want to move to OrlĂŠans and grow their business. They were definitely very excited about it,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Build it and they will come.â&#x20AC;? OrlĂŠans Coun. Bob Monette supports the program but noted it will not solve all of his wardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job woes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This tries to put everything more in a balance,â&#x20AC;? he said, noting that few properties will qualify for the grants. Some city councillors worried the

economic development and innovation, said his staff will be looking to see the program doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t simply result in a relocation of jobs that already exist in the city. The grants will offer a 75 per cent rebate on the incremental increase in property taxes for owners and developers who redevelop sites that are currently developed or have been in the past. The grants would be available for a period of up to five years

What I worry about with this is that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re creating an uneven playing field

ings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me, it seems for this program to work, it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just go to the landlord or the developer, but the businesses have to be aware of it otherwise they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go there,â&#x20AC;? Egli said. What have we done to ensure the tenants are partners in this process?â&#x20AC;? Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli asked. To build a building is great, but you have to fill it â&#x20AC;Ś We fell down a little bit on that last time.â&#x20AC;? Egli was alluding to a similar community improvement plan the city launched for St. Joseph Boulevard last year. A city report indicates tenant businesses were not made aware

of the program so it failed to act as an incentive for businesses to locate on that road. That project is broader in scope and includes project feasibility grants, a development incentive program and grants to cover planning fees and building permits. The increased taxes the city will collect as a result of redevelopment will offset the cost of the grants. As an example, the city could give back up to $745,000 in taxes for a redevelopment project worth about $4.5 million, which could bring an estimated 75 new jobs to OrlĂŠans and create an economic boost of up to $9 million in Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gross domestic product.

tax breaks, called a community improvement program, would unfairly advantage OrlĂŠans and strip other areas in the city of potential business growth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I worry about with this is that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re creating an uneven playing field,â&#x20AC;? said Kanata South Coun.

News - A plan to connect Barnett Drive with Ottawa Road 174 in Cumberland got councillors’ OK, but it’s unclear who will pay for a traffic signal at the new intersection. Toronto gas station developer Sagar Aggarwal wants to build a gas station on the site east of Peter Harkness Lane, south of the 174 and north of Old Montreal Road. But in order to let drivers access it from the 174, it needs to have a road access because the city won’t approve new driveways off the high-speed road. But if the city is going to allow a new intersection on the 174, Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais insisted it must have a traffic signal. Despite a city-reviewed study that shows traffic at the proposed Barnett/174 intersection would not justify a signal, the city’s agriculture and rural affairs committee approved Blais’ request for a requirement for the traffic light during a Sept. 5 meeting. “It won’t be safe. I can’t support opening a new road without a set of traffic lights,” Blais said. “Imagine opening up a new non-signalized intersection west of the city onto Highway 7 – it would be the silliest thing you’ve ever seen.” Aggarwal said he does not want the traffic signal. He would prefer to have the unsignalized intersection city staff recommended, but if the signal is put in, he would like anyone who benefits and creates traffic through that intersection pay a share of its cost. Aggarwal was told it could cost $400,000 to $600,000 to include a traffic light. “I don’t want to pay it all,” he said. Blais said it will be up to Aggarwal to work out the payment with other property owners who will benefit, or to make an agreement

with the city for a front-ending agreement. Or, by the time the road extension is ready to be opened, it might be warranted by the city’s traffic standards, so the city would have to pay at least part, Blais said. West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry was concerned the city would end up having to pay for the traffic signal, since councillors voted to require it against staff’s advice. City lawyer Christine Enta said the vote wouldn’t bind the city to pay for the lights, but the signal would have to be in place before that road could be opened. Blais pointed out that an ongoing environmental assessment looking at whether to widen the 174 through Cumberland might likely include a requirement for new intersections onto the road to have signals, so it makes more sense to include that requirement now, otherwise the city be left “holding the bag” to cover the traffic signal’s cost after the environmental assessment is completed. The other option would be for Aggarwal to build the Barnett extension but not connect it with the 174. Blais said he doesn’t think that’s likely to happen, since the developer is likely building the gas station along the highway to service customers from Rockland passing through. Aggarwal said he would like to start construction on the garage station right away and plans to file a site plan with the city to kick off approval of the development in the next couple of months. In the future, Aggarwal plans to seek a developer to build a day care on the 4.5-hectare site, and eventually other businesses such as a restaurant – all of which are allowed uses in the property’s zoning. As part of the changes, the committee also approved the closure of a narrow, uneven portion of Peter Harkness Lane between the 174 and Sparkle Lane.

She would prefer to see the plaza retain the cinema in her ward and she said the plazaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owners should be more proactive in ensuring thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible.

cational use. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Constituents have spoken to us about the importance of the theatre,â&#x20AC;? Gray said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they (the theatre) can stay, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re glad to have them.â&#x20AC;? Lyle Stern of the Ottawa Film Society, which rents the theatre space for its screening, said eliminating the theatre would undermine efforts to revitalize the downtown and Sparks Street. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be an embarrassment to the city for people to drive their families to Gloucester to see a movie,â&#x20AC;? he said. Planning committee chairman Coun. Peter Hume said the point is moot because the issue is that the plazaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owners made a promise to the city to provide entertainment in the building in exchange for allowances like road space for its parking garage entrance. Nancy Meloshe, a planner working on behalf of Bentall Kennedy, said the development agreement Hume spoke to is unclear, especially after it was revised in 1997, so the plazaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owners originally approached the city to seek clarity on what they were allowed to do. Meloshe and Gray contend their reading of the agreement would already allow the ofďŹ ce use in that cinema space. City staffer Dave Donaldson agreed the agreement was â&#x20AC;&#x153;unclear at best.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have certainly written a development agreement that is quite unclear,â&#x20AC;? said Somerset Coun. Diane Holmes. These types of covenants are very

Steve Desroches Deputy Mayor Councillor, Gloucester-South Nepean WOUNDED WARRIORS CANADA BATTLEFIELD BIKE RIDE LAUNCH

News - Councillors balked at allowing the conversion of the only remaining ďŹ rst-run cinema in downtown Ottawa to an alternate use such as ofďŹ ces during a ďŹ nance committee meeting last week. Citing committee membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;angstâ&#x20AC;? in dealing with the report to remove the requirement for an entertainment use in the development agreement for the World Exchange Plaza, Mayor Jim Watson asked for the matter to be delayed to another meeting. Empire Cinemas indicated it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t extend its least that expires at the end of this year, so the mallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner, Bentall Kennedy, applied to the city to allow a wider range of uses in the space, including an ofďŹ ce. But at the ďŹ nance committee meeting on Sept. 3, Bentall Kennedy representative Daniel Gray said the move doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily mean there will no longer be a movie theatre at the World Exchange Plaza. Adding to the confusion is uncertainty over plans for a cinema at Lansdowne in the Glebe. That theatre would be within the ďŹ ve-kilometre range ďŹ lm distribution companies use as a rule of thumb to avoid having the same ďŹ rst-run ďŹ lms showing in close proximity. That was easy for Empire to manage before it closed its Rideau Centre location â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that mallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cinema showed blockbusters catering mainly to teens, while the World Exchange theatre showed more highbrow ďŹ lms. World Exchange Plaza is in discussions with a three potential cinema operators, but they are in â&#x20AC;&#x153;wait and seeâ&#x20AC;? mode pending plans for a movie theatre at Lansdowne. Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group had previously announced plans for Empire to operate a high-end cinema with a liquor licence at Lansdowne, but those plans havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been ďŹ rmed up. More recently, Empire has been selling its theatres and getting out of the movie business. Gray said ďŹ nding another theatre operator would be the cheapest option, because it would take around 10 years to pay off the renovations needed to convert a windowless cinema with sloped ďŹ&#x201A;oors into appropriate space for something like an ofďŹ ce or an edu-

Ottawa Tourism to get space at 150 Elgin

! n u f o t ! k w c o a n r B e ist Reg

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Public benefitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was supposed to be used for failed concert hall laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Ottawa Tourism will be getting an office with a view thanks to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to focus its cultural efforts on the Arts Court. The tourism promotion group will move into a 600-square-metre space on the 14th floor of one of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest office towers at 150 Elgin St. The building south of Laurier Avenue has views of the Rideau Canal, Ottawa Convention Centre and the Parliamentary precinct, making it a perfect spot for Ottawa Tourism to woo tour operators and other tourism industry representatives. The space was originally intended to be used for a concert hall. About 650 square metres were set aside for the hall, which was to be used by the Ottawa Chamber Music Society. But when efforts to fundraise for the concert hall fell apart, the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s developer, Morguard Elgin Limited, agreed to set a smaller amount of space aside as a public benefit as part of the agreement when the city sold the land to Morguard in 2004. On Sept. 3, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finance and economic development committee approved the change to allow a non-profit agency like Ottawa Tourism to benefit from the space. The original terms called for a city program use (arts, culture or tourism-type use). Some councillors werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t convinced that a tourism office is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;public benefit.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am not sure that Ottawa Tourism fits into my definition of what a community benefit is,â&#x20AC;? said Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem as much community related as I envisioned this space to be.â&#x20AC;? Somerset Coun. Diane Holmes supported the move. She said Ottawa Tourism is deserving of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;public benefitâ&#x20AC;? as an economic driver for the city and region because it supports Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third-largest industry: tourism. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really the only use that seems to be practical,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an opportunity to help tourism in Ottawa, which is a major responsibility of the city.â&#x20AC;? The deal would give Ottawa Tourism a lower rent comparable to what it pays now for its space on Albert Street for 10 years, after which the agency would have to pay whatever rent Morguard charges. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unlikely that any local arts or cultural group would be able to support Morguardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market-rate rent in the future, so those groups would like end up moving out, Holmes said. Besides, the city has worked with arts groups on a plan to concentrate local arts facilities at Arts Court on Daly Avenue, which is awaiting federal funding in order to begin redevelopment. Ottawa Tourism operates independently from the city, although the city does give it $550,000 a year for major events. The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offer of space at 150 Elgin St. is worth about $1.3 million over 10 years, which significantly increases the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contribution to the agency.

Ottawa South News EMC - Thursday, September 12, 2013

Profile by Brian Turner The path to fitness for Ottawa native, Simon Adeseko began painfully but his experiences have set him on a journey of healing for hundreds of area residents, and unlike fickle trends in today’s personal fitness, this trek returns its followers to the basics of core strength development. The philosophy and training program called Plyomax was born out of a long recovery from a serious leg injury Simon suffered at the age of 17 which put a pause to his high school track and field training. While studying at Carleton University, and while training the Canadian Squash teams with Plyomax, Simon teamed with Dr. William Staines of the University of Ottawa’s Cellular and Molecular Medicine, to further develop this plyometric exercise program that challenged and stimulated participants to their maximum abilities; hence the name Plyomax. Behind the ever-varying series of specific muscle recovery exercises is Simon’s leadership, which brings certified Plyomax trainers to lead group classes and boot camps not simply personal trainers. An industry high leader-to-group ratio means everyone receives individual attention and motion or stance adjustments and a program tailored to their needs without the high expense of private sessions. Who should consider it? Because Plyomax can be modified to the abilities of anyone, everyone from young athletes, to those either challenged or bored by traditional workouts to professional athletes, almost everyone can benefit from its relatively quick and lasting results. Simon has coached those in rehabilitation from injury, varsity teams, track athletes, professional hockey and football players and all have recorded dramatic improvement in personal and performance stats with some groups heading to national finals as a result. The approach of Simon and the very dedicated Plyomax Fitness Centre team is most effective with those that have hit the wall in terms of reaching their goals. Because all of the exercises work primarily on the deep torso/abdominal core

muscles, posture, movement and energy recovery are improved to help bring the rest of the body back in sync. Plyomax Fitness Centre actively cultivates an atmosphere of family, motivating members to look forward to sessions, eager to develop new friendships. The progressive changes to the exercise patterns provide real challenges that keep students of all levels eager. Now, the Plyomax Fitness Centre is coming to Riverside South at the Spratt/Limebank Rd neigh-

take supplements they wouldn’t serve their children. The lifestyle changes he helps them discover keeps the weight off and the improved physique in shape to stay that way. As he puts it, “As with myself I want my clients to be healthy and fit. I believe in training for lean muscle mass more than anything else because it acts as a fat burning furnace. It enables you to feel stronger and helps in contributing to better endurance.” For those with less time than average for fitness and recreation programs but are still looking for solid results, the Plyomax Boot Camp is the right choice. This 8-week program offers coaching in resistance, cardiovascular, plyometrics, strength training and much more. You can enjoy the benefits of personal training within a group setting with this intense training program. This is the all-in-one program to get you started on your fitness goals.

To include as many types of people as possible, the Plyomax Fitness Centre offers a full menu of general fitness programs, spin and aerobic classes, along with nutritional guidance. More advanced members will find athletic performance and endurance training programs that are customized to their specific goals. For everyone, results are noticed almost immediately. They quickly discover for themselves what Simon has known for some time: we all have the power inside of us to make improvements and direct our lives to the paths that are the best for us. Simon teaches this lesson without words or flip-charts, but by example and by putting people on the steps to core strength. It’s their own core that imparts the lesson as it returns to life and full function after starting with the Plyomax Fitness Centre.

Opera Lyra opens 29th season Baritone Cory Crider travels with entire family to take in Ottawa sights Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

Arts - Opera Lyra has officially opened its 29th season at the Nation Arts Centre with performances of Bizet’s Carmen. A run of four shows, which began on Sept. 7 at the NAC’s Southam Hall, will run until Sept. 14. Earlier this year, artistic director and principal conductor Tyrone Paterson announced this season is filled with passion, love and crime and the passion begins with Carmen. “After 11 years, Carmen finds her way back to Opera Lyra’s stage,” Paterson said. Bizet’s Carmen tells the tale of a soldier seduced by a beautiful woman who cares only about her own freedom. The opera is said to have some of the most recognizable music and is considered to be among the world’s most well-loved operas. Italian singer Alessandra Volpe will play Carmen. “Ms. Volpe is vibrant and beautiful and was widely praised after her debut at Teatro alla Scala in Milan,” Paterson said. He said he knew Volpe was heading to an audition at the Metropolitan Opera Company and in New York at the same time, moved quickly to sign her. David Pomeroy, from St. John’s, N.L., will make his Opera Lyra debut as Don José, one of Carmen’s love interests. Kentucky native Corey Crider will perform as Carmen’s other love interest, Escamillo the Toreador. There are no local actors in any of the lead roles, but Crider and his family of five travelled

SUBMITTED

The Crider family stopped in Niagara Falls on their way to Ottawa this August. The family is in town for Cory Crider’s performance in Opera Lyra’s production of Bizet’s Carmen. The family of five travels together, visiting Canada and Ottawa for the first time this fall. the 1,690 kilometre for his performance. Crider said he and his family have adopted the city as their official home during pre and post production. Crider has a wife and three children -- ranging in age from one to eight years old -- and as much as they can, his family travels with him as he performs all over the United States. The Opera Lyra production of Carmen marks the first time he

and his family have travelled to perform in another country. “The default move is to go together,” Crider said. “The biggest reason is kind of simply, we got married to stay together not apart and we had children to raise them together and whatever the challenges are, we can handle them. “It’s not easy, but it’s a matter of making choices, and I am much more willing to accept the challenges involved.”

As his kids are home schooled, the trip quickly turned into a chance for the eight-year-old to learn all about Canada. “My wife has taken the oldest to one museum this week,” he said. “Every where we go, we supplement the trip with what he is learning in school; with what the location has to offer.” Crider said his son learned a song about the provinces and

then proceeded to point out every one of them on a map the following day. “I was telling people from our home school group where we were going and they told me we were going to a home scholars dream,” When Crider wasn’t visiting the Star Wars: Identities exhibition at the Canadian Space and Aviation Museum, he was preparing for his role for the opera.

A church singer since he was young, the idea of singing for a living only crossed his mind when he was applying to schools in his last year at high school. “I was completely naïve. I jumped in (at auditions) and got a few scholarships based what I can only believe was potential -- my naivety was maybe charming to them. “I dove into a whole new world for me. I loved the fact that I didn’t know anything.” It wasn’t until Crider started his masters degree that he became interested in opera. HE quickly rose to the top of his profession, performing at opera houses across the U.S. and internationally and for the first time, performing in Canada, at the National Arts Centre. Performing in Carmen for the fourth time, Crider invites Ottawa residents to come out to the opera because the story, which is over 138 years old, still resonates to people today. “Through and through, the music is very beautiful. The relevance and engaging nature of this art form, and of the production of Carmen, in terms of the repertoire of what is performed, is one of the best.” In March, Opera Lyra announced the return of two fully-staged productions, Carmen and Giacomo Puccini’s beloved masterpiece Madama Butterfly. For the company’s annual family opera performance, the company will present The Pirates of Penzance in October in the Arts Court Theatre. The Madama Butterfly shows begin in April. Tickets for the remaining Carmen shows are $25 and can be purchased online by visiting operalyra.ca.

Nuit Blanche promises good time for whole family Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

Arts - Arts lovers, night owls and other curious parties are invited to take a tour of Ottawa and Gatineau under the stars to be surrounded by art. Nuit Blanche Ottawa+Gatineau will begin at dusk on Sept. 21 and will end in the wee hours of the morning of Sept. 22. The show will see more than 200 artists, business on both sides of the Ottawa River and other local partners participating in a street exhibition unlike anything on display at a gallery. In the fall of 2012, Nuit Blanche Ottawa took place for the first time in the capital, as a one night-only affair based on similar events in Toronto and Montreal. The funding and organization was provided by BRAVO-Est, which received a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation. Taking place in the Byward Market and Westboro, visitors had the opportunity to observe local art in all its forms from 6 p.m. to 4 a.m. The inaugural event featured 160 projects in two areas

Described as ‘yarn-bombing a bus’, the work of art took five months to prepare for and served as one of the centerpeices of the first-ever Nuit Blanche Ottawa. of the city that were viewed by a total of 30,000 people. There were multiple family-friendly events, gallery showings and performance art to visit and observe and this year, the organizers say the intention is

to bring back all the success of last year and to expand the festival to include sites in Gatineau. Still in its infancy organizers decided to expand to include Gatineau artists and business,

because Megan Smith, a curator at Hintonburg’s Orange Gallery and one of the event’s organizers, said art doesn’t stop at the river’s edge. “The reality was the artists came from both sides of the

river and we feel it’s important to see it as a region, not just as one province,” Smith said. “This allows people to support artists in their own city.” In Gatineau, the show will take place on Laval Street, which according to Smith has a really thriving arts and nightlife scene that made it a natural location for the show. The Museum of Civilization will also play host to an event, with its own art project in which people can participate. Communities in Ottawa participating are Lowertown, Centretown and Hintonburg. The organization will offer free shuttles throughout the evening for people looking to visit as many sites as possible. “There will be four shuttles in the core space - downtown, ByWard, Gatineau and Sparks (Street). You can just hop on and off throughout the night,” Smith said. “Try to visit as many as you can. Go until you can’t walk anymore. I recommend have a good pair of shoes and save energy and take the shuttle.” She said there are really creative individuals and proj-

ects this year, including a children’s zone on Guiges Street in Lowertown presented by ArtEast and Guild 240. This exhibition includes storytelling and the promise of an explosion of colours, where young artists and local artists can create artwork throughout the evening. Sites are being hosted by the likes of the City of Ottawa, Bridgehead, AOE Arts Council and Semaine des Transports Collectifs et Actifs. A full list of artists, exhibitions and programming for the evening is available online at nbog.ca. A map has also been made available online, to help people plan their art routes for the evening. Smith encourages everyone, regardless whether they adore art or not to pay a visit to the event. “I think it’s really worth the experience,” Smith said. “Every city has a different vibe and ours is really community based - what it allows people to do is experiment and experience art in the streets and that is something that doesn’t happen every day and it’s definitely worth the journey.”

Jobs, Growth & Long-Term Prosperity A majority of Canadians believe that economic growth and long-term prosperity remain the most important issues for our nation. That is why our government has been working to keep these issues as our main focus. We have delivered. Since July 2009, Canada has added nearly one million net new jobs, a majority of which are full time positions in the private sector. In a time of global economic uncertainty, we have outperformed all other G7 countries in job creation during this time. We have achieved this by keeping taxes low and controlling government spending. Throughout my terms as Member of Parliament, our government has passed over 150 different tax cuts, including cuts to income tax and the GST. It is working. The federal tax burden is now the lowest it has been in 50 years, and personal income taxes are now 11% lower overall compared to rates in 2006. Our government has recently introduced measures to target international tax evaders by granting the Canada Revenue Agency more power to track these people down. This ensures that all Canadians pay their fair share. To remain prosperous in the future, we have to get out of debt. Even though Canada has the lowest net debt-to-GDP ratio in the G7, our government is committed to paying it down. By 2015 we are expecting to return to balanced budgets which will allow us to do this. In July, Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced changes to the federal Ministry. He unveiled new faces and steady hands which will continue to keep taxes low, control government spending and put our ﬁnances on a sustainable path. In the Fall session of Parliament, the Governor General will deliver a Speech from the Throne outlining a renewed policy agenda. I look forward to the new session and will remain focused on the important issues at hand – jobs, growth and long-term prosperity. Pierre Poilievre MP Nepean-Carleton

Sons of Anarchy start Charlie Hunnam will meet fans at Goulet Motorsports in Hawkesbury Sept. 14. Then he and two other castmates will lead a fall motorcycle ride Sept. 15.

Sons of Anarchy rides into Ontario theresa.fritz@metroland.com

Events – It will be 50 shades of anarchy in Hawkesbury Sept. 14-15. That’s when Charlie Hunnam, star of the FX television show Sons of Anarchy and newly named to play Christian Grey in the movie adaptation of E.L. James 50 Shades of Grey, visits Goulet Motorsports Harley-Davidson in the eastern Ontario community. Hunnam’s ﬁrst time visit to the community follows sold-out visits from former Sons cast member Ryan Hurst (Opie) in March and current cast member Tommy Flannagan (Chibs) in June. Hunnam, 33, will be at Goulet Motorsports Sept. 14 from 5-10 p.m. for a meet and greet, autograph signing and dinner under a big tent outdoors. The cast visits to Hawkesbury are

a partnership between Goulet Motorsports and Full Throttle Events. Full Throttle is a promotions company based in Lachute, Que. organizing exclusive meet and greet events with stars of the show. “It was an idea that I had when I ﬁrst met the cast (of Sons of Anarchy) in Texas…they were excited about it,” explained John Younkie of Full Throttle Events. “And then we expanded it nationally. We travel all over Canada.” Younkie, who buys his mortocycles from Goulet Motorports, said the partnership with his home dealership was a natural thing. From there, the VIP meet and greets expanded to other Harley dealerships across Canada. And the events attract patrons willing to pay anywhere from $125 to $250 for the chance to rub shoulders with their favourite television outlaws. “We have nothing but great reac-

Album drops in support of mental health Proceeds will be donated back to communities Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News – The weight of losing a loved one to suicide never goes away, but a Greely singersongwriter hopes to ease the burden with a new album in support of mental health programs. Before and Afterlife: the Theory of Positivity dropped Wednesday, Sept. 10 on World Suicide Prevention Day. Greely resident Larry Pegg wrote all 12 songs, and recorded them in collaboration with a number of local artists including Canadian folk singer Lynn Miles. Pegg lost his daughter to suicide in December 2007 and has been using his music as therapy ever since. But now he hopes that music can help others get better too, as he offers 50 per cent of all album sales to localized mental health programs, using tracking systems to support services where his customers are. “If 100 purchases come

from Smiths Falls then I want to support charities that help Smiths Falls,” he said. In Ottawa, all purchases will support the Do It For Daron charity set up in memory of Daron Richardson, daughter of Ottawa Senators assistant coach Luke Richardson who died by suicide in 2010 at the age of 14. The cornerstone of the album is a song called Weight, which Pegg wrote after a conference for the Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention last year. It deals directly with the issue of suicide and how parents must carry the weight of that loss. It also asks those with suicidal thoughts to “please wait” before taking such a devastating step. Pegg has committed to donate 100 per cent of Weight’s proceeds to mental health programs in perpetuity. Another important song on the album, Pegg said, is called Last of the Hot Summer Days, and draws parallels between the terrorist attacks of Sept.

11, 2001 and the pain parents feel come September when their child is no longer there to send off to school with the other kids. People understand the tragic nature of homicide and accidents, Pegg explained, but they often don’t consider suicide in the same context. “My intention was to draw the parallel that parents are forever affected (by suicide), just like the United States will forever be affected by 9/11,” he said. “They’ll never take their children to school in September again. For parents that are grieving, Septembers are a difﬁcult time.” Of course, not every song on the album deals with such serious subject matter. Pegg said he draws his inspiration from artists like George Harrison, Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen, and the hard-hitting rock beats are ever-present. His light-hearted Business is Business tune is just one example. Pegg doesn’t have a speciﬁc fundraising goal going for-

ward, but hopes his album will resonate across the continent and even the world. “The goal is awareness. When it comes to sales, it’s up to every community to reach their own goal by deciding they’re going to support this,” he said. “I have to focus on how can we change attitudes and who can we save. That’s really important to me.” Pegg has reached out to nearly 300 communities across North America holding suicide prevention walks during the week of Sept. 8 to 14 in the hopes of creating some of that buzz. In the end, though, Pegg simply wants to spread the message that suicide is not the answer. “My key message is everybody suffers setbacks in their lives, so be compassionate with yourself when you stumble and especially to others when they stumble,” he said. The album can be downloaded at Pegg’s website, www.lpgroove.ca, on iTunes and on CDbaby.com.

OrlĂŠans teen takes Ottawa Idol contest Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

Arts - Last time she competed at Ottawa Idol, she was runner-up. But there was no secondplace finish this year for singer Lindsay White, the 16-year-old who won Ottawa Idol on the long weekend. The St. Peter High School musical theatre student performed close to home, as the final round was held at the Place dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;OrlĂŠans Shopping Centre on Sept. 1. She didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t compete in 2012, but finished as runnerup in the 2011 competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was shocked, I was so happy,â&#x20AC;? said the teen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were so many amazing singers; the judges said it was really tough.â&#x20AC;? At school, Lindsay is part of the high skills musical theatre major, show choir and the school musical. She looks up to singers like Carrie Underwood, Adele and Beyonce for inspiration. Now that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s won recording time in the studio, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to profession-

ally record a song. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to find someone to write an original song to record. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to want to do my own song, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have it yet â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so I have to work on that first,â&#x20AC;? she said. Second-place finisher was Stittsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jennifer Lauren, and in third place was Nepeanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Antonio Pezoulas. The 17-year-old Antonio just started Grade 12 at Mother Teresa High School, where heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s active in school musicals. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also sung at local festivals like Greekfest, and enjoys combining different styles of music to make his own unique sound. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like taking old rock â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roll (with other genres) and blending and mixing them together,â&#x20AC;? he said. He also won recording time, and is still deciding whether to pen an original tune or sing a cover song in studio. Last year, Antonio finished in the top six performers in the competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad that I did better than last year, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all I set out to achieve,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Power paddler finishes stellar season Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

Sports - Madeline Schmidt doesn’t have any plans to slow down from her paddling anytime soon. “Once I’m Olympic champion,” she laughed, when asked how long she’ll paddle for. And this season was encouraging – the 18-year-old won a medal in seven of the eight events she competed in at national championships held at the end of August in Montreal, including gold medals in all her individual events. Schmidt is a Brittania resident and Woodroffe High School student – thought she spends most of her time training at the Rideau Canoe Club. And one of the national titles also came with a special honour, the Lucy Slade Memorial Trophy. The trophy, awarded to the top under-19 paddler in the one-kilometre race, was named after a former Rideau paddler who passed away from cancer several years ago. To be the ﬁrst name on the plaque is a special honour for Schmidt. Slade was a family friend, and she grew up babysitting her children. When she won the trophy, she pulled Slade’s children up onto the podium with her. Now, she plans to paint the box the

As a junior rower, she still has another year left to compete at the under-19 level to defend her individual 200-metre, 500-metre and one-kilometre titles. JUNIOR MEDAL

While her national titles were a great way to end the season, she’s already accomplished the goal she wanted the most – a medal at junior worlds. It was a rare year that the event was held in Canada, about a six-hour drive away in Welland, Ont. Her family and most of her Rideau teammates were in the stands cheering as she paddled her way to a bronze

Meet Tyson , an 11-month-old, neutered male, bulldog mix who is an extremely smart and energetic dog. He was surrendered to the shelter by his owner on Sept. 3 and is now available for adoption!

Tyson has tried agility and obedience and he loves to perform! He wants an owner who is very active and can match his high-energy personality. Tyson needs unconditional love and the full

medal in the K1 (meaning she was the only person in the kayak) 200-metre event. “I realized it was a possibility after (national) team trials, I trained super hard back home with my coach,” she said. “It was proving to myself that the hard work pays off. I knew it was possible.” She also ﬁnished sixth in the second event she qualiﬁed for, the K1

500-metre race. For Schmidt, training hard means an intense schedule of four to five practices on the water a week starting at 6:30 a.m., accompanied by weight training and running. In the winter, she travels to Florida for training camps and does weight training, cross country skiing and swimming. Next year, she’ll focus on the under-23 world championship, where she’ll be up against a bigger and older field of paddlers. She got a taste of the under-23 field this year when she travelled to Poland to compete in the under-23 world cup in a K4 race with three other Canadian national teammates. It will likely be a development year for Schmidt and her Rideau Canoe Club coaches, such as the 2012 season was, for building onto the goals she achieved this year. She may be several years away from achieving her ultimate goal – she hopes to qualify for the 2016 Olympic Games, but remains focused on the 2020 Games – but it’s been a long time coming. She started paddling almost 10 years ago in the canoe, but switched to kayak when she realized a key fact about her dream. “I learned you can’t go to the Olympics for canoe,” Schmidt said. “So I learned to love kayaking.”

Meet Arty, an eight-year-old, neutered male who was brought to the shelter as a stray on May 2 and is ready to be adopted! Arty is hoping to ﬁnd an affectionate owner who’d love to brush his luxurious coat and get paid back in cuddles. This kitty wants all your attention and would appreciate being the only cat in the house. He has no front claws so he needs to be an indoor-only cat.

Simba has just turned 1 year old on July 26th. He is a very lovable Goldendoodle who likes to rip squeakers out of his toys and play with his doggy friends. He loves to go on our trampoline when we are bouncing but does not like to swim in our pool. We got Simba from a breeder in Hawksbury. He was the smallest boy from a litter of twelve. Simba loves to run around and chase things. He likes to sleep with his body on his bed and his head hanging off the bed. He is a great dog and we love him so much! 9d ndj i]^c` ndjg eZi ^h XjiZ Zcdj\] id WZ ÆI=: E:I D; I=: L::@Ç4 HjWb^i V e^XijgZ VcY h]dgi W^d\gVe]n d[ ndjg eZi id ÒcY dji H^bean ZbV^a id/ X[dhiZg5i]ZcZlhZbX#XV ViiZci^dc ÆEZi d[ i]Z LZZ`Ç

The Clemow Avenue Driveway (1903) was designed as a wide boulevard, with rows of trees and large houses set well back from the street. It
