Confederation LRT construction full steam ahead

Tremblay station to serve as important connector: officials Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The future Tremblay light-rail transit station is taking shape and once open, passengers arriving at the nearby Via Rail station will be able to hop on LRT and arrive downtown within minutes, officials said. The LRT station will function as “an intermodal link” between Via’s intercity rail service and the city’s light-rapid transit system, Yves Desjardins-Siciliano, president and chief executive of Via Rail Canada,

Ottawa West News - Thursday, January 21, 2016

Westfest’s first fundraiser promised to be “a big, wild party,” with “high-powered, energetic shows,” according to the music and arts festival’s founder-producer Elaina Martin. The five-hour fundraiser at the Orange Art Gallery will be a star-studded affair, drawing Juno Award-winning artists Lynn Miles and Holly McNarland, as well as local alumni from past Westfests. Having lost its title sponsor last year, the fundraiser is essential to help Westfest bring their popular three-day show to their new home of Laroche Park. Martin said pulling everything together was easier than she imagined. “I’ve got a lot of connections and contacts in this city, so I sent an email to local Westfest alumni – in an hour, all had responded,” said Martin. “It all came together very quickly.” As for sponsors, Martin is seeking funding from both individuals and businesses. Again, she has met with success, thanks to companies eager to help out the grassroots cultural festival. “We’ve always done that and can’t afford not to,” she said. “We have Shopify as a new sponsor, as well as a wine sponsor. We’ll continue to have sponsors, but even

more now due to the loss of our title sponsor.” CITY CENTRE

The City Centre Avenue venue will host numerous disciplines on March 6, with live music, spoken word and visual artists mixing with local craft beer, wine and food. Given the location, there will also be opportunities to bid on artwork. The makeup of the fundraiser will serve as a taste of what people can expect the first weekend of June, when Westfest is staged in its new Mechanicsville locale. “We’re very excited about our new home, Laroche Park, and Mechanicsville is a very colourful and vibrant community that’s holding onto its roots,” said Martin. “Losing our title sponsor was a blessing in disguise, as we’d sometimes have to change our mandate to meet (our sponsor’s) vision. The programming this year will show that in spades – it will be different from what you’ve seen in the past.” The program will take advantage of the sprawling park, she added – a park that is more accessible to people both downtown and in the west, and is situated close to the Ottawa River. Tickets for the fundraising event, titled Westfest All-Star, can be purchased through Eventbrite.ca. All proceeds will go towards this year’s artistic programming.

As immigrants themselves, many members of Masjid Jami Omar felt it was only right to make sure Canada’s newest residents feel at home. The Bells Corners mosque greeted 157 recently arrived Syrian refugees to the community by holding a welcoming ceremony on Jan. 16. The mosque is working in partnership with non-profit Resettlement and Family Services Samaritians and Ansar to help refugees make the transition to living in Canada. “For them it’s a cultural shock to come from a Muslim country where you hear the call to prayer every day and then end up in Canada which is frozen,” said Dr. Solly Gardee, the president of the mosque’s board. “We want them to know there is a vibrant Muslim community here and that once they settled in, they’re going to be very comfortable

All 13 stations under construction this year: mayor Continued from page 1

said during a press conference at the Tremblay Road Via station on Jan. 13. The Tremblay LRT connection “will bring Canadians to the nation’s parliament within seven minutes,” he said. “So it’s a great day for Via Rail and it’s a great day for Canada.” Tremblay station, where workers could recently be seen pouring concrete, will be one of 13 “world-class” LRT stations on the Confederation line, Mayor Jim Watson said following a tour of the Tremblay construction site, where he was joined by project officials and politicians from all three government levels. “And I’m pleased to confirm that all 13 of these stations will be under construction before the end of this year,” he said. “These stations will greatly improve the customer experience for our transit users.” Assembly of the LRT trains is also now underway. “In fact, we’ll start testing some of these world-class LRT vehicles before the end of 2016,” the mayor said. “That’s right, 2016 will be the year you will start seeing Confederation Line trains running and be-

Mayor Jim Watson, centre, is joined at a Jan. 13 press conference by several officials and city, provincial and federal politicians, including Ottawa South MPP John Fraser, left, Ottawa West-Nepean MP Anita Vandenbeld, Yves Desjardins-Siciliano, president of Via Rail Canada, and Nepean MP Chandra Arya. ing tested right here in the nation’s capital.” Almost 70 per cent of the city’s population will live within a fivekilometre trip to a light-rail station, said Watson, adding that LRT will “fundamentally transform Ottawa

for generations to come.” Construction of the first phase of the Confederation Line, which is scheduled to open in 2018, is “on time and on budget,” and once open “will improve commute times through and from the downtown

core,” said Watson. Excavation of the downtown Lyon station cavern is complete, and Parliament and Rideau stations are almost 70 per cent excavated. “I’m pleased to announce today that the LRT tunnel will be fully excavated by this summer,” he said. As well, more than 3.5 kilometres of track have been laid, much of it near the Belfast maintenance facility, where the light-rail trains will be parked at night, Watson said, with more large segments of track to be laid in the months ahead. Canada’s federal infrastructure and communities minister said during the event that Ottawa’s future LRT service “will be one of the most advanced and innovative transit systems in North America.” Public transit is not just about moving people from A to B. “It’s about building strong, sustainable communities,” Amarjeet Sohi said. The federal government has an “ambitious agenda” to “build the kind of communities that we all desire to live in,” and over the next two years infrastructure funding will be doubled to $20 billion, he said. Over the next decade, the federal government will invest an ad-

ditional $60 billion, shared between public transit and social and green infrastructure, to boost community “resiliency.” Ottawa South MPP John Fraser, who was also attended, said the Tremblay station is a milestone in the construction of the LRT line,

... 2016 will be the year you will start seeing Confederation Line trains running and being tested right here in the nation’s capital MAYOR JIM WATSON

which “is creating thousands of jobs in this community, which has a significant impact on our economy.” Watson said over the course of the build-out for phase one of LRT, 20,000 person years of employment will be created – with even more coming during the larger second phase of light-rail construction.

Bad habit? There’s an app for that

here are days when I wish cheese wasn’t edible. I love cheese. One of my favourite movie scenes of all time is when lactose-intolerant character Kate, played by actress Meg Ryan, indulges in a plate of the fatty stuff on a train in the movie French Kiss. She knows she’s lactose intolerant. But in her attempt to be rebellious and make the most of her undesired trip to France, she decides to challenge her digestive tract. “Did you know that there are 452 official government cheeses in this country?” she asks her travelling partner,

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse as she’s spreading and eating. “Don’t you think that’s incredible? To come up with 452 ways of classifying what is basically a bacterial process?” A bacterial process, but the result is so yummy, so

satisfying, so fattening and so bad for one’s gut! So maybe you have cheese in your life too. Or maybe you smoke, or you eat too much sugar. See VEGGIES, page 7

Notice of Completion of Transit Project Assessment Process Trillium Line Extension The City of Ottawa has completed an Environmental Project Report in accordance with Ontario Regulation 231/08 for the Trillium Line Extension Planning and Environmental Assessment study. The Project The City of Ottawa has developed a plan to extend and expand the City’s existing diesel-powered O-Train Trillium Line service from Greenboro Station to Bowesville Road and to the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport. The plan includes options to service the growing communities of Riverside South and Leitrim, the Airport and adjacent lands. The plan also incorporates new stations on the existing line at Gladstone Avenue and Walkley Road and a relocated station at Confederation Heights. Impacts to private property are anticipated to be limited to the areas adjacent to the proposed Lester Road and Leitrim Road grade separations. The Process The environmental impact of this transit project was assessed and an Environmental Project Report (EPR) prepared according to the Transit Project Assessment Process as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects and Greater Toronto Transportation Authority Undertakings. The EPR documents the entire study process, including a description of the planned project, its anticipated environmental impacts, and the project’s consultation program. The EPR for the Trillium Line Extension project will be available for a 30-day public review period starting January 22, 2016 at the following locations during their regular business hours: Ministry of the Environment

Who is going to pay for it? Watson wants someone else to pay for it. Not share the cost, but pay for it outright. The mayor joined other politicians at the Via Rail station on Tremblay Road for a tour of a nearby worksite and to give an update on the progress of Confederation LRT line construction. In a media scrum afterwards, Watson laid out the rationale for fast-tracking an LRT airport spur and an extension to Trim Road. It all sounded perfectly reasonable, especially with an Airport Parkway widening project on the drawing board and how that could be impacted by an LRT run to the airport. Perfectly reasonable; until it becomes clear the city, in essence, is counting on getting a financial free ride with the federal

and provincial purses. Watson wants the $160-million light-rail extension (the most recent estimate of the cost) to Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s airport paid for by the feds and the $155-million light-rail line to Trim Road covered by the province. Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rationale for having other levels of government pick up the entire tab for the airport and Trim Road extensions? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our philosophy is that we believe the province would be best suited to help fund the Trim Road extension, because ultimately there was a download by the previous government of the (highway) 174â&#x20AC;? and such a rail line would help alleviate congestion on the highway to Trim Road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the federal government, having responsibility for airports, would be best suited to fund the airport link,â&#x20AC;? Watson said. Good luck with that. Ottawa residents shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold their breath until that happens, because it is highly doubtful the feds and Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park are willing to be Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wallet when it comes to his LRT wish list.

he only good thing about the economy being in crisis â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if in fact thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is that it stops people from writing about electoral reform. Thanks for that, economic crisis. Not that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be equally nerdish about the economy. All sorts of exotic analyses are out there as to why things arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t right.

spend, more businesses make money. When more businesses make money, more businesses hire and invest and grow and pay taxes. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really nice the way it works out. The next question is who should do the hiring. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s see. Are there businesses out there that could use more employees? Well, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ask the consumer.

ing with staffers leaping to assist you if they saw you pause for the slightest second in front of a shirt or a toaster. The other day, the consumer could pause for 10 minutes and not see anyone in sight. Having found the toaster, the consumer would then search for a place to pay for it. It was way over there, far from the toaster department, in the slipper department, a desk with one person working at it. This was not a busy time, but there were five people wanting to buy things. Two staffers could have handled that in a hurry. One staffer couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. During the wait, the consumer pondered the fact that department stores are said to be in decline. Wonder why. They could rebound. The location in shopping centres is ideal. The idea of having a variety of goods under one roof is attractive.

The good ones have quality merchandise for sale. What they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have is enough people to help you pay for it. So people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go to department stores. They go to smaller stores that have staff. Wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it help the department store, not to mention the consumer, not to mention the economy, to hire some more folks? A consumer at the movies might make the same complaint. A modest lineup at the popcorn counter causes a 10-minute delay in getting to the movie (there to watch advertising, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another story). And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same story: six or seven cash registers but only two people manning them. Just a couple more people behind the counter would make life so much better for everyone, help the old GDP and maybe get more people out of the house and away from their big TVs.

in paying fewer people. Machines do our banking, collect our money and open the gate at the parking garage. Much energy and creativity is spent trying to figure out ways to contract, rather than expand.

Veggies in the cheese drawer? Continued from page 6

Perhaps you’re a total social media addict to the detriment of your life and relationships outside of virtual reality. As with all things, there’s an app for that. Actually, it’s a gadget that its creator, Maneesh Sethi, claims can help you take some control. The Pavlok is a bracelet that gives you an electronic shock when you break any resolution. You can set it in advance to shock you, say, when your social media activity gets out of hand. Or you can shock yourself in real time as you puff on a cig or shove a piece of stilton down your gullet. It’s like a personal assistant and a parent all at the same time. It’s your executive reasoning; in fact it’s the opposite of your executive reasoning, because it’s designed

to tap into your primitive brain. The idea behind the creation, says its founder, is that it gets beyond your “human brain” to train your “reptile brain” to kick in and stop you from doing something detrimental. I’m not sure how I feel about shocking myself into cheese prohibition, but I can see why it could work. There’s an old adage that says you can’t kick bad habits, only create new, good habits. When it comes to routine things – opening the fridge, heading for the cheese drawer – our brains are useless companions. We’ve opened the fridge, followed by the cheese drawer so many times that there’s no need for conscious processing. The electric shock works to alter your habitual pattern. It also makes your brain associate whatever you’re doing with something negative, and – if the videos

are to be believed – even mildly painful. Apparently, the Pavlok works, even if you self-operate it. So as you’re puffing the cigarette, you can push a button and give yourself a shock. Maybe, then, we don’t need a gadget. Could we simply pinch ourselves, hard, when we want to stop doing something we perceive as “bad.”

On the flip side, since kicking a bad habit requires something habitually good as a replacement, I’m thinking of putting the vegetables in the cheese drawer. Perhaps I can develop a highly satisfying carrot-munching habit. I’ll let you know. One thing’s for sure – change takes time. We can develop new routines, but we have to tackle them one step at a time.

Ottawa seniors to lace up for prediction skate challenge Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Just last year, Judi Haines was lacing up her skates for the first time since she was a kid. Despite falling several times, she persevered, got up and dusted herself off. “I was falling six times a day,” the east Ottawa Carson Grove resident said with a laugh. Today, the 76-year-old is hooked and skates five days a week wearing her trademark pink helmet – her favourite colour – at the Jim Durrell Recreation Centre on Walkley Road. “The ice was taken off for a couple of months in the summer and then they put it back on before (baseball) was over, and I would leave the ball field and come here to be on the ice,” she said. Haines is organizing – and planning to part in – Ottawa’s inaugural Ontario Senior Games Association’s

ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND

Judi Haines pauses during her daily noon-hour skate at the Jim Durrell Recreation Centre on Jan. 13. The Carson Grove resident is organizing Ottawa’s inaugural Ontario Senior Games Association’s Prediction Skating Challenge, which takes place at the Walkley Road arena on Jan. 26. Prediction Skating Challenge. The challenge will see skaters in male and female

categories aged 55 and up who will complete a threekilometre skate, while participants 75 and up will skate

Planned Work in your Community

1.5 kilometres. Those 75 and up can actually compete in both distance challenges. Participants are required to guess how long it will take them to skate the required distance. They don’t need to be quick on their blades to compete or have fun. “It doesn’t matter how you skate or how bad you skate or how fast you skate, it’s just prediction anyways so anybody can win,” Haines said.

The challenge is also not about trying to improve your time. “It doesn’t matter if it takes me 20 minutes. If I’m closest to my time, I’m the winner,” she said. When she competed last year in a similar challenge in northern Ontario, Haines guessed it would take her about 11 minutes to complete 1.5 kilometres. She fell, and worried that she’d lost valuable time, she jumped back up and tried to

skate faster. “If I’d just kept going at my pace I would have been about 11 minutes,” Haines said. “It doesn’t really matter anyway,” she added. “I was a winner because I went. I was a winner because I was actually skating. And I think as you get older, that’s the thing – it’s just fun.” Asked if it’s possible for people to cheat the challenge and skate at a certain pace to hit their targeted time, Haines said the arena clock will be covered so skaters do not know how much time has elapsed. “They can try that, but they can’t wear (timing) devices,” she said, adding that while winners will receive medals, winning isn’t the point of the challenge. Members of the Ontario Senior Games Association can skate in the challenge at no extra cost. Everyone else is asked to pay the association’s $20 membership fee, which will make them a member for the year. The skating challenge will be held at the Jim Durrell arena, located at 1265 Walkley Rd., on Jan. 26, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. To register or for more details, contact Haines by calling 613-741-5260, or emailing judihaines@sympatico. ca.

Convicted robber was hiding in Ottawa: OPP Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A convicted robber who police say wanted to be paroled to his hometown of Ottawa rather than Kitchener, Ont., has been apprehended, according to the OPP. Ottawa police took Curtis Richard Clorey into custody the morning of Jan. 18, three days after the OPP’s repeat offender parole enforcement squad issued a public appeal for help in locating the 22-yearold man. No further details on the arrest were immediately available, including where in Ottawa he was taken into custody. Given the former south Ottawa resident’s previous convictions, including a weapons offence, anyone who spotted Clorey was advised not to approach him, said Det.-Const. Steven Sermet, the squad’s Toronto-based spokesman. “Just looking at his

history of those charges that he’s serving two years and 30 days for, I would say … that is a public safety concern,” he said the day the OPP issued its media advisory. ROBBERY

The 22-year-old was convicted of a robbery as well as a weapons offence, assaulting a peace officer and failing to comply with a probation order in August 2014 and was sentenced to two years and 30 days. The robbery was committed in Ottawa, Sermet said. After being behind bars for more than four months at Collins Bay Institution in Kingston, Clorey was released and was to travel to Kitchener and stay in a halfway house and report to a parole officer. Clorey never showed up, breaching his parole, said Sermet. He was to have completed serving

his sentence on Aug. 17, 2016. “He didn’t want that (Kitchener parole location) at all but that’s where (he was assigned by) Corrections Canada,” Sermet said. “Corrections Canada wanted him to go there but he has friends and family in Ottawa. He wanted to stay in Ottawa – that’s why he didn’t report.”

A Canada-wide warrant was issued for his arrest. “The ROPE squad out there (in Ottawa) – first they did their investigation, speaking to family members, friends, any associates or where he may hang out,” Sermet said, and once those avenues were exhausted, the squad turned to the public for assistance.

Transportation is a large motivator for school boards to sync their holiday breaks. But with Christmas landing on a Sunday this year, it could be more challenging for the four Ottawa school boards to all take holidays at the same time.

Area students could have different December break

With Christmas awkwardly placed on a Sunday this calendar year, there isn’t an obvious two-week holiday break for school boards. So the English public board is polling parents with

an online survey asking if parents would rather their children attend school: • up until Dec. 23 and return on Jan. 9, • or take the week before Christmas off, with the last day of school on Dec. 16 – which would mean returning on Jan. 2.

“I think (the poll) is a good idea because the choices are extreme,” said Keith Penny, the school trustee for Orléans-Cumberland. He said most parents have been surprised to be surveyed.

Box Social always good for a few surprises

hey were all good neighbours, those along the Northcote Side Road. A helping hand always at the ready. They mingled over the euchre table at the Saturday night house parties, and ate in the same kitchen when they gathered for thrashing or wood-sawing days. And yet when it came to church, there was, what Father called, ‘the great divide’. The Lutheran and United Churches in Northcote were where most of the social life of the community took place. And although both congregations joined together for events, there was often a “them and us” attitude between the two churches. Father, a staunch Lutheran, often complained that “Those Uniteds only give us the right time of day when there is a free meal in the offing.” Mother said that was sheer nonsense, because we Lutherans weren’t

MARY COOK Memories above filling our plates at the United Church suppers either! Take the annual Box Social for instance. It was always held at the United Church, sometimes in the summer, but often in the mid-winter months, and we Hanemans never missed it. And that year, it was to take place as part of a Valentine’s Day celebration. Of course, anyone as young as I would not be taking a box for the party, but certainly my sister Audrey would be right in there. She made lists for days.

Certainly, there would be butter tarts, and fried chicken legs, and a couple of Mother’s famous sticky buns. Packed in beautifully decorated boxes, the long table in the church hall would be stacked end to end, each one brimming with a delicious lunch, made by the young ladies of the community, and hopefully attractive enough to entice one of the young men at the social to buy it. Some of the girls wrapped their boxes in Christmas tissue, which

back then only came in red, blue, green or white, but the plainness was taken away with the use of plenty of ribbons and anything else a girl could put on the box to attract a buyer. He would then have the privilege of eating the lunch with the young girl who had made it. Of course, no one was to know who made up what box. My brother Emerson, who was much too young to enter into the contest, said it was like buying a “pig in a poke,” a phrase he picked up from Father when I wasted a whole dime on a grab bag at Ritza’s Rexall Drug Store, thinking I was getting a bottle of expensive perfume, and ended up with Lyndia’s Pink Pills for Pale People! The night of the party at the United Church, was bitterly cold. We bundled up like mummies, and headed out in the flat-bottomed sleigh, with Audrey holding

her box, tightly wrapped in a spankingly clean white tea towel, and then in a heavy blanket to keep its innards from freezing. I watched as she packed it. Two fried chicken legs, two of Mother’s sticky buns, butter tarts, and homemade brown sugar fudge. She wrapped it in white paper and coloured red hearts all over it with crayon. On top was a red bow, taken right off my washstand upstairs used to tie up my long red ringlets. She had washed and ironed it, and I had to admit, the box was a sight for sore eyes, and I was sure would be one of the first to be bid on. Well, after lots of frivolity, it came time to bid on the boxed lunches. Some were just in plain shoeboxes, but those like Audrey’s stole the show, and the bidding started. Audrey of course, was hoping a lad from the Barr Line she was sweet on would buy hers. Well, as it turned out, Orville, whose two eyes went in different directions, and one ear had been half ripped off

in a fight with Two Mile Herman paid a full dollar for Audrey’s lunch box. To say she was more than disappointed would be an understatement. She watched one of the Thom girls boxed lunch go to the boy from the Barr Line, but I was mighty proud of my sister who made the best of it. The evening ended up with a rousing square dance, then we gathered up the remains of the lunch box, and headed for home. On the sleigh Mother told Audrey she was mighty proud of her, and she pointed out how the lad had a wonderful smile, and looked as clean as a whistle. Father, sitting on a bale of hay at the front of the sleigh, could be heard saying, “Yes, and he’s a Lutheran too.” Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Pork, fruit and nuts for dinner This is an elegant entrée for your next dinner party. Each slice is studded with cranberries, apples and nuts. It’s easy on the cook too – just assemble it a day ahead and roast at serving time. If you don’t have seasoned bread crumbs, season plain bread crumbs with dried Italian mixed herbs and pepper. Preparation Time: 30 minutes Roasting Time: 45 minutes Serves: 4 INGREDIENTS

1 pork tenderloin, (1-1/4 to 1-1/2 lb/625 to 750 g) 2 slices bacon, chopped 1/3 cup (75 mL) diced onion ¾ cup (175 mL) dry seasoned bread crumbs 1 Ontario Apple, peeled, cored and chopped 1/3 cup (75 mL) chopped

toasted walnuts 1/3 cup (75 mL) fresh or frozen cranberries, halved if large 1 tsp (5 mL) chopped fresh sage leaves (1/2 tsp/2 mL dried) Chicken broth or water Salt and pepper 2 tbsp (25 mL) olive oil or butter, melted PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

Cut tenderloin almost through lengthwise; open like a book. Place plastic wrap on top and under tenderloin; pound with rolling pin to flatten to even thickness. Set aside. In medium saucepan or skillet, cook bacon and onion over medium-high heat until tender and browned. Stir in bread crumbs, apple, walnuts, cranberries and sage. Moisten slightly with up to ¼ cup (50 mL) broth

until mixture holds together when pressed. Season with salt, pepper and more sage to taste. Place tenderloin, smooth side down, on work surface. Press filling along length of centre third; roll meat around filling to enclose completely. Tie with string at 1-1/2-inch (7 cm) intervals. (Can be wrapped in plastic wrap and refrigerated overnight at this point.) Place, seam-side-down, in lightly greased baking dish. Brush with oil. Sprinkle with pepper to taste. Roast in 350°F (180°C) oven for 45 minutes until a meat thermometer inserted in centre registers 160°F (71°C); or until juices run clear when pork is pierced and just a hint of pink remains inside. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing into ¾-inch (2 cm) thick slices. Foodland Ontario

Early French immersion changes draw huge parent response Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

Ottawa school trustees are going to make a tough decision next month. The trustees will vote on Feb. 9 whether or not to implement changes to the early French immersion program that have drawn mixed reviews from teachers and parents alike. There are three changes on the table: * introducing half day French instruction for all kindergarten students, * the addition of 60 minutes of English teaching for students in early French im-

mersion, * switching math classes from French to English for EFI students. The kindergarten switch and math switches would happen in September 2016, and the addition of the 60 minutes of English would be implemented in 2018. The original proposal, which recommended everything start in 2016, was amended. There are mixed reviews from parents for a variety of reasons. Parent council chairs and co-chairs had a chance to ask questions on behalf of their schools at a meeting at Gloucester High School on Jan. 14.

“I’ve received a lot of opinions – some are happy, some are not,” said Sandra Schwartz, the trustee for Innes and Beacon Hill-Cyrville. The kindergarten change is meant to improve the baseline knowledge of French, especially in demographic groups which are less likely to continue in French immersion. “Historically, French immersion has leaned more to higher socio-economic groups and under represented English as a second language and special needs students, “ said superintendent of instruction Neil York-Slader. Schwartz said some parents are worried having half of the

day in French for their junior kindergarten children will be too confusing. But there are also parents who strongly support French in schools, and are more concerned about any reduction in French instruction time. Parent council co-chairs from Robert Hopkins Public School in Beacon Hill said they’re getting the same feedback from within the school – a bit of everything. “It’s both positive and negative, it’s very mixed,” said Tamara Taub. Her co-chair, Adrienne Vienneau, said opinions often depend on where a child is in the school system, as a junior kindergarten parent may give different feedback than the parent of a Grade 5 student

job. Reshuffling could mean teachers are declared surplus, and need to move to a different school. “It would be fair to say teachers could be worried about the nature of their job,” he said. “Or it could be that it’s not a good idea.” Trustees will have to make up their minds on Feb. 9, when they vote on whether or not to accept the changes. At that time, they’ll have the results of the second round of public consultation surveys available to them. A part of the equation for the trustees has to be the cost savings. The board stands to benefit to the tune of $2.4 million if the changes are made. And in a year where costs have to be cut to make the budget work, the dollars could help save other programs. “There’s a lot of stuff we need to consider,” said Orléans-Cumberland trustee Keith Penny, who said he hasn’t made a final decision on how he’ll vote on each of the three recommendations. “But if you’re taking educational assistants away from classrooms, that’s something we are really loath to do.”

who is past the EFI age. The school board did a first round of consultation in the fall, and received almost 4,000 survey responses; a response rate York-Slader said is practically unheard of. Parents largely were in support of all three of the changes to the French program in the surveys received, but parents pointed out that not everyone got the right information or heard about the survey because of teacher labour disputes going on at the time. So the board did a second round of surveys, and received 4,856 responses the second time around. The data from that survey wasn’t available for York-Slader to present at the Jan. 14 meeting. Teachers polled weren’t as enthusiastic as parents, though a small majority did support two of the changes, York-Slader said. A small majority did not support the introduction of half-day French in junior kindergarten. He said it could be “scary” for teachers who don’t know what the program will mean for the their day-to-day

Students campaign for tuition freeze in Ontario universities Students across Ontario are participating in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Time Outâ&#x20AC;? (#timeoutON), a campaign asking for a tuition freeze to be implemented in Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next tuition framework, which will be established in 2016-2017. The Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance is rallying students to ask the provincial government for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;funded freez.â&#x20AC;? This means that yearly average tuition increases of three per cent and five per cent would no longer be allowed; the loss in tuition

revenue would be fully subsidized by increased provincial investment in universities, ensuring that quality is not impacted. The funded freeze would reduce student debt and restore public investment in education. Students are concerned that tuition hikes are ballooning at rates that outpace inflation, average income, or other key indicators of reasonable growth. Over the past decade in Ontario, average tuition has risen by

$2,659. If average tuition had risen by inflation, this increase would have only been $767: just a third of the actual uptick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tuition is not only rising, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rising faster than inflation, faster than government contributions, and faster than students can afford to pay,â&#x20AC;? says Spencer NesticoSemianiw, president of the alliance, in a press release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By saying â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;time outâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re saying letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hit pause; stopping students from taking on even more debt, allowing

the market to catch up, and helping restore public higher education in Ontario.â&#x20AC;? INCREASES

The last 20 years have seen tuition soar while government contributions waned in proportion. In 1992, students paid for 19 per cent of university operating budgets. By 2012, students paid for 51 per cent of university operating budgets. Since that time, Ontario has had a publically assist-

ed, not publically funded, education system - a key distinction the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities has acknowledged in subsequent publications. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Quite simply, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve crossed an important line. The end of public higher education in Ontario is not just symbolically significant, it has a real financial impact on young peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success,â&#x20AC;? Nestico-Semianiw says in the release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the province wants to reap the proven rewards of a university-educat-

ed population, it should be making the necessary investments. Young adults who are saddled with debt have a reduced capacity to make contributions to our economy, whether through investment or innovation.â&#x20AC;? The campaign will run at the allianceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seven member campuses across Ontario. OUSA represents the interests of over 140,000 professional and undergraduate, full- and part-time university students at eight member associations across Ontario.

Seven Things Your Cat Wants You to Know

PRANCER (ID# A187366)

R0013649766.0121

Meet Prancer (ID# A187366), a peach-face lovebird looking to fly into his new home. Lovebirds like Prancer make great companions. He will dazzle you with his beautiful red and green feathers and serenade you with his lovely song.Prancer enjoys the company of other lovebirds. If you don’t already have one at home, he’d love to be adopted with one of his friends at the OHS. For more information on Prancer and all the adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd Check out our website at www.ottawahumane. ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

Most of us would agree that cats make magnificent pets. They are independent and are so easy to care for. Right? Well… not exactly. The outdated view of cats as self-sufficient and ‘low-maintenance’ has been replaced by the understanding that they are complex, social animals with essential needs which must be fulfilled for them to live healthy lives. So whether you have owned cats all your life or are new to the world of cat companionship, consider these seven things your cat would want you to know: • Domestic cats are not far-removed from their wild ancestor, the African Wild Cat. Both species are hunters but may also be prey to larger animals. As a result, cats tend to hide signs of sickness rather than ‘advertise’ vulnerability. A subtle change in your cat’s behaviour should always be addressed because this may be an early indication of illness or injury. • Cats require regular veterinary care. Sadly, cats are taken to the veterinarian only half as often as dogs and they are usually sicker by the time they do receive medical care. Routine health exams (even if your cat never goes outside or appears healthy) are the most effective way to ensure your cat’s good health. • Another reason cats receive insufficient veterinary care because they (and, therefore, their owners) find the trip to the veterinary clinic stressful. You can lessen your cat’s fear by helping them become accustomed to their cat carrier. Leave the open carrier in a place accessible to your cat all the time (not just the day prior to their appointment) and furnish it with soft bedding. Place food, treats, or catnip in the carrier and let your cat come and go as they please. In time your cat will develop pleasant associations with the carrier and trips to the vet won’t be quite so scary. • While house soiling is a common reason for cats

to be surrendered to shelters, most litter box troubles are both preventable and treatable. Cats need toilet facilities that are to their liking: multiple, large, uncovered litter boxes with unscented, clumping litter are usually best. Locate boxes in areas which are easily accessed by your cat, and clean them daily. Pay particular attention to number, location, and cleanliness of boxes if you have multiple cats. And finally, if there are any changes in your cat’s litter box habits, seek veterinary advice. • The need to scratch is an essential feline trait. Cats have a strong urge to scratch objects in their environment to mark their territory and condition their claws. Use positive reinforcement to train your cat to scratch appropriate structures (yes – it can be done!) such as cat trees and scratching posts. Your efforts will help prevent furniture damage, surrender to shelters, and declawing. • Remember – cats are hunters. Feeding your cat should tap into their strong instinct to hunt for their food. Placing dry food in feeding puzzles, hiding a cache of food on the cat perch, or simply feeding multiple, small meals in different parts of the home all go towards making mealtime stimulating and a challenge for your cat. • Cats need regular physical exercise. Playing with your cat for at least 10 minutes twice a day gives him a mental and physical workout that reduces stress and boredom, improves health, and lets him express natural hunting and play behaviours. Playtime should include games that let your cat stalk and pounce on small, preylike toys – and be sure to let your cat catch the toy to give them the satisfaction of a successful hunt!

the trainer and teaching behaviour patterns so they can go back and train their own folks.”

Part of the draw for the police participants was the chance to learn from the airport canine unit’s team leader, Stephen Kaye, former president of the Canadian Police Canine Association. Kaye is a world-renowned law enforcement canine trainer, Armstrong said. The handlers and their dogs also spent one day during the exercise out at the old Hershey plant in Smiths Falls – a challenging work environment for the dogs with the many competing scents, he said. In addition to preparing the police teams for working in an airport in the event they are called in, the airport’s canine unit – all former law enforcement— also got the chance to work closely with local police, including the RCMP, OPP and the Ottawa police canine handlers.

Crowds, noise, kids, trolleys coasting past, bags circling on carousels – airports serve up a high-tempo environment for canines trying to sniff out trouble. Twenty police canines from as far away as Vancouver and Halifax converged on the Ottawa International Airport to put their noses – and their handlers – to work in a recent training exercise. The two-week session, which wrapped up Jan. 15, was the second police canine training course hosted by the airport, following last April’s inaugural fourday course. The focus this year was “train the trainer,” putting officers and their dogs through scenarios they can take home and share with colleagues. “You can have multidisciplinary dogs: explosive, drug, tracking, weapons,

The focus of the recent course was putting the teams through off-leash and behaviour training scenarios. An airport offers a challenging environment, what with crowds, kids and baggage carts. “The dog is off the leash and you have to rely on his discipline to do what he needs to do in a crowd,” said Armstrong, whether that is tracking an object, sitting on command or concentrating on searching a certain area. The Ottawa airport is the only one in Canada that brings in these specialty teams, allowing them to train in its public and nonpublic zones. “We’re the only airport they want to train with,” Armstrong added. “We’re also the only airport that offers a training environment where we allow them to move in amongst the passengers and the ground handling.”

Continued from page 30

“When we do have a real-world emergency we’ve already established those rapports,” said Armstrong. The public was also treated to seeing upwards of a dozen of the working dogs. And while there wasn’t an opportunity to nab a criminal or sniff out any contraband, a large police presence can be a good thing. “A lot of these (handlers) come with their police cars. It’s very clear that there’s a heavy police presence at the

airport, with dogs,” Armstrong said. “So there is naturally going to be a residual effect from it. And that’s a bonus for us. There’s a lot of pros that come from doing something like this.” Airport officials are looking at making the training session an annual event, perhaps even twice annually. “We want to see it grow,” Armstrong said. DID YOU KNOW?

The Ottawa airport be-

came the first airport in Canada to establish its own canine team five years ago, followed by Montreal’s airport. In having their own inhouse canine team, the airport has a distinct advantage in not relying on contracting the service of local police canine units, as other airports do. “You’re in competition with calls that are going on in the city for the use of that dog,” Armstrong said, adding this can mean hours-long delays.

Airport LRT spur should come before parkway widening: mayor Mayor wants feds, province to pay for airport, Trim Road LRT lines Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

If the federal government

agrees to fully pay for a light-rail spur to the Ottawa airport, that project should get going before work be-

gins on widening the Airport Parkway, Mayor Jim Watson said. “Priority has to be based

on the money we have available,” he told reporters Jan. 13 after providing an update on progress in the construction of the Confederation LRT line. “If we’re able to secure funding for the (Trillium LRT) O-Train extension to the airport then we should get shovels in the ground for that before we do the Airport Parkway expansion,” he said, while flanked by municipal and provincial politicians at the VIA Rail station on Tremblay Road. That’s in keeping with council’s adoption of a transit-first philosophy, “that if there’s a transit option, that should be the first priority – more people in trains and buses, less people in cars,” Watson said, adding this benefits motorists too by freeing up space on gridlocked roadways. But this will depend on whether the mayor gets his wish to have the $160-million light-rail extension to the Ottawa airport paid for by the federal govern-

ment and the $155-million light-rail line to Trim Road in Orléans covered by the province. City officials have long said there isn’t enough in the city’s $1-billion contribution to partly pay for the second phase of the $3-billion LRT project to tack on the extensions during construction of lines west to Bayshore, southwest to Baseline, east to Place d’Orléans and south to Riverside South. “Our philosophy is that we believe the province would be best suited to help fund the Trim Road extension, because ultimately there was a download by the previous government of the (Highway) 174,” Watson said, adding that rail line would help alleviate congestion on the highway to Trim Road. “And the federal government, having responsibility for airports, would be best suited to fund the airport link,” he said, at the VIA Rail station following a

tour nearby of the Confederation Line’s new Tremblay Station, currently under construction. Watson said there have been “positive discussions” with the province and the feds about the airport and Trim Road projects. All three levels of government are “very much aligned to working together,” and it would be “a shame” not to include the two extensions when construction of the second phase of the LRT project begins, he said. That stage is scheduled to get underway in late 2018 or early 2019. The Ottawa International Airport Authority has offered to pay part of the cost to build an LRT station at the airport, which could cost about $35 million, according to early estimates. The city is now in negotiations with upper levels of government to share the cost of phase two three ways. See FIRST, page 33

First parkway widening pushed back to at least 2020 Watson blames economic slowdown Continued from page 32

An announcement on that will come within the next year, Watson said. “We’re on track,” he said. PARKWAY DELAY

Plans to begin phase one of widening the parkway from two to four lanes from Brookfield to Hunt Club roads are facing a delay, with the implementation date now pushed back to at least 2020. “That is a result of a slow down in the economy. We don’t have as many development charges,” Watson

said, but added the project – which carries a pricetag of $31.4 million according to 2013 estimates – could get off the ground if the city sees more growth. Still, he recognizes the importance the widening would have in alleviating congestion. “It causes some great stress for people who are trying to get to the airport to make flights on time and it’s also frustrating for people who live in the neighbourhood,” he said. Ottawa South MPP John Fraser, whose riding includes the parkway and the airport, agreed about the

state of the parkway, but said it’s important to first move forward on the airport spur to see what impact that could have. “There is no question that there is congestion on the Airport Parkway that affects not only the airport, but the residents who live in Ottawa South and south of Ottawa South,” he said. “We need to build public transit and see what the impact is there.” He said he plans to continue advocating that the airport spur be built sooner rather than later. “We’re a G8 capital. You can take a look at many progressive cities – their transit connection to the airport is very strong.”

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, do not allow distractions to keep you from completing tasks that need to get done. Use your ability to focus to plow through your to-do list and finish in record time. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, this week you may be tempted to take risks you never would have considered before. Just don’t let excitement get in the way of common sense. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Something totally unexpected will grab your attention in the next few days, Gemini. Trust your intuition to take things slowly and put out all feelers before you forge ahead. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, although you have a plan to reach all of your goals, do not put success ahead of others’ feelings. Be considerate of others even if their efforts are not up to par. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, proceed with caution in a new friendship or partnership. Test the waters before you devote yourself fully. This approach will ensure you made the right decision. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, if the potential to be criticized scares you, you may not be inclined to express yourself honestly. Worry less about what others think of you and be confident in yourself.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, if you’re feeling on edge lately, it may be because you haven’t had a chance to relieve stress. Exercise can be a surefire fix to what ails you, so get up and go. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, an opportunity presents itself in the weeks ahead, and this will be too good to pass up. Embrace the changes that this opportunity offers. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, your social life is bustling, but sometimes it can be difficult to keep up with all of the things filling your calendar. You may want to take a few days off. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Career obstacles may pop up from time to time, but you have the commitment to see things through for the long haul. Keep up that perseverance this week. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 You can’t always play the peacemaker, Aquarius. Sometimes you just have to let others fight their own battles and then offer support to those who need it. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, there is more going on than meets the eye. You have to pay attention to the subtle undercurrents to figure out fact from fiction. 0121
