After what will be only two festivals in Laroche Park, Westfest is going to have to move in 2018. Remediation to the former landfill is planned for the Mechanicsville park next year. The festival moved from Richmond Road to Laroche Park in 2016, after the Westboro Village Business Improvement Area withdrew a funding grant to the festival. Organizers looked at several different green spaces, and ultimately picked Laroche Park. Although the city found an alternate way to complete previous sewer work there, the soil still needs to be decontaminated, Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper said. The work involves adding a thicker soil cap, according to the city. It’s estimated the work will take an entire construction season, forcing Westfest from the park it has recently called home. “We’ll be keen to get the

New location to be found for Westfest after Laroche Park move Continued from page 1
The need to remove so much soil drove up the cost for the proposed Sens Rink. In 2015, when the rink was shelved, the cost of removing the soil was expected to be between $40,000 and $75,000.
But that rink, Leiper said, is still part of the plan for the park. As well, Leiper is completing a parks consultation with area residents, with one of his main priorities being a new field house for the Mechanicsville green space.

“The festival will need to move, but I’m looking forward to working with the producer to find an alternative location within the ward,” Leiper said. “I don’t know about that,” Elaina Martin, founder and pro-
ducer of the popular free music festival, said of the need to relocate. She said rumours about remediation of the park have swirled for years and concrete plans have been rescheduled, so she isn’t worried about losing her venue
for the 15th anniversary of the music, culture and arts festival. But she noted there are other locations in the community, including one near the Tom Brown Arena that could host the event. “It’s not the location that
matters,” Martin said. Moving to Laroche Park brought some needed attention to Mechanicsville. “It’s like what Westboro was like 15 years ago. We can help the neighbourhood,” Martin said. “We have a lot of love to give.”

To commemorate Canada’s sesquicentennial, 150 artists will take the stage at this year’s Westfest, happening at Laroche Park from June 2 to 4. “It’s an exciting time for these performers,” founder and producer Elaina Martin said, adding that bringing young, local and diverse acts partly inspired this year’s lineup. “We have 150 of our best people, and I know people are as excited about the mainstage lineup as I am.” Martin said she also wanted to maintain the tradition of an inclusive festival. “We want a diverse program and a diverse audience. We want everyone to feel welcome.” The full lineup of acts was announced on Feb. 1. Headliners for the 14th annual free event include Deejay NDN, the Juno Award winner and founding member of a Tribe Called Red; Juno Award winners Monkey Junk; and local indie rock band Lemon Cash. Just a few hours after the lineup was announced, Martin said social media was buzzing about Westfest, including Deejay NDN’s appearance. The festival is making its second appearance in Laroche Park, in Mechanicsville, after moving from Westboro. “We loved it, thought it and the community were great, and it was generally well received,” Martin said of the locale, adding there will be some
tweaks to the layout to better mesh with the park’s space and use the full length of the park. The new format has allowed the festival to grow, without being limited to a long street, she said. New to the festival this year is an extended family zone, which will be programmed by Dovercourt Recreation Centre with child-minding, arts and crafts, and even a workshop for teenagers on bike repairs. “We’ll be launching a plethora of programming. It will be non-stop announcements on our website,” Martin said. The festival will also feature an indigenous pavilion, local artisans, vendors, food trucks and family activities, in what Martin said is their most accessible space yet. Also coming up at Westfest is its second annual fundraising party: Westfest All Star. The event is scheduled for March 5 at the Orange Art Gallery from 2 to 7 p.m. and features five hours of music and entertainment. It brings together some Westfest alumni, as well as some new artists. The event is hosted by Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper and Jim Bryson. Tickets are $100, and proceeds go toward the festival’s artistic programming. Performers include Westfest’s own Elaina Martin, Ricer City Junction, JAH’KOTA, LB, DJ Jungle Jen, Jen Hayward, David Whitedear Charette, Aspects, Jesse Dangerously and more. Tickets are available at http://bit.ly/WestfestALLSTAR. For the festival’s full lineup see, http://www.westfest.ca/.
Meeting planned about closure of Highway 417 ramp from Carling Avenue BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com
A public information centre on the closure of the Carling Avenue eastbound ramp to the 417 beside Westgate is scheduled for Feb. 15. This is the second meeting on the proposed ramp closure, following a meeting that was held last June. At the meeting, many residents raised objections to the proposed closure. According to the Ministry of Transportation, the ramp closure is necessary because of the planned widening of Highway 417 between Maitland Avenue and Island Park Drive. The widening creates safety and operational issues for the ramp. The MTO also says the ramp has low peak volumes – 360 vehicles during each peak morning hour and 250 vehicles during each peak evening hour – as compared to the Carling ramp east of Kirkwood Avenue, which handles 1,175 and 800 respec-
tively. Between 2002 and 2013, there was one fatality at the ramp, 36 injuries and a total of 194 crashes. Back in December, David McGuinty, MP for Ottawa South, and Bob Chiarelli, MPP for Ottawa West-Nepean, made a funding announcement overlooking a busy Highway 417 crossing Preston Street, which had both the provincial and federal governments promising up to $47.57 million each to complete the expansion. At that time, Chiarelli said the ramp’s status was still up in the air and meetings were ongoing. Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper has attended some of those meetings and said he’s still hopeful a solution can be found to the issues the MTO has identified. “I’m not giving up yet,” Leiper said. “Let’s not forget the closure is only necessary because of the 417 widening, on which I remain adamantly opposed.”

The province is planning to close the ramp providing access from Carling Avenue Westbound to Highway 417 Eastbound as part of the process of widening the highway. Shown in this illustration is the peak usage for two ramps and the area of vehicle and pedestrian conflicts. The public information centre is planned to update the public with more studies and analysis since the first information centre and to present a proposed mitigation strategy that includes improvements to the Carling Avenue and Kirkwood Avenue intersection and the Carling Avenue and Saigon Court intersection. The meeting will be held at St. Anthony’s Banquet Hall, 523 St. Anthony St., from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. More information is available at www.highway417carlinge-eramp.com.

Good deeds Sisters Yael and Leah Freedhoff help make therapy puppets on Feb. 5 for a special Canada 150 Mitzvah Day Art Installation. Organizers had a goal of wanting everyone who came through the doors for Mitzvah Day to leave a mark on this special project, aside from making therapy puppets, hundreds of participants filled up the different classrooms in the centre from writing letters to soldiers to making challah bread for the food bank.
Dear neighbours, In light of the tragedy in Quebec, I accepted the invitation to speak at the Abraar school and Muslim Association of Canada Youth Centre Masjid during Friday prayers. Ottawa is an inclusive city, where we are made stronger by everybody’s heritage, beliefs, ideas and cultures – not in spite of them. As we hear more and more discord in the world I would encourage you to reach out to your neighbours, especially the ones you don’t know and get to know them. I believe working together as a community provides a better way of life for all. January in review

Get the kids moving to ward off depression
A
t the start of the school year, I decided it was time to upgrade my smartphone. My telecommunications provider loves me because, since 2004, I’ve only upgraded twice. They offered me a great deal on an iPhone 6s and then talked me into handing down my old phone to my pre-teen son. The kids are always moaning that “every one of their friends has a cell phone except me.” I figured I might as well try him out on it under supervision, while I still have an ounce of control over how he’s using it. Once he’s in high school, I figure, he’ll have free rein of social media use. I wanted to give him some guidance. I noticed something. Maybe it’s just pre-teen hormones kicking in, maybe it’s that he’s already starting to carve out that adolescent independence, but my kid started to get really moody. He wasn’t sleeping as well. A morning person his entire life, he was suddenly dragging himself out of bed an hour too late and frequently missing the school bus. After Christmas, I put my foot down. I started to restrict the time spent on the smartphone even more rigorously. I took the charger out of the kitchen – also known as the central command zone – and out of sight to prevent that habitual need to check the phone every five minutes. Something else great happened after holidays – the kids’ sport activities became all-consuming. They started a free after-school multisport program, I built a skating rink in our backyard, and I suddenly found us moving from
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse skiing to swimming to skating to hockey six days per week. My child’s mood has improved profoundly. In fact, it’s like night and day. A new study out of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology and NTNU Social Research, published in the February 2017 issue of Pediatrics, may have the answer. Researchers there tracked nearly 800 children over a number of years to determine the impact of physical activity on mental health. They found that physical fitness helped ward off depression in the kids they studied. “Being active, getting sweaty and roughhousing offer more than just physical health benefits. They also protect against depression,” says Tonje Zahl, the lead author of the article that summarized the study’s findings. The study began a few years ago, when children as young as six were fixed with accelerometers. Parents were also interviewed about their child’s mental health. Two years later, the kids and parents were brought back in for analysis of the physical data and follow-up interviews. The interviews and analysis were repeated again when the children were 10 years old. The children in the study who
engaged in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity at six years of age showed fewer signs of depression at the ages of eight and 10 than those who weren’t physically active. The authors note that, although sedentary lifestyles don’t necessarily lead to depression, their research proves that

physical activity can do a lot to ward off depressive symptoms. The study is not conclusive on its own, but the authors hope their findings will lead to further studies that will examine the link between physical exercise and good mental health in children.
For us parents, finding opportunities to get kids off screens and moving may just be a boon for our kids’ mental health as they head into their teen years. It’s no secret that physical activity helps ward off and treat depressive symptoms in adults as well, so finding time to sweat-it-out together may be the key to overall family harmony. I’m not in the trenches of the teen years yet, so I’ll do my own longitudinal study and let you know how it works out.
NOTICE OF APPLICATION OF A ZONING AMENDMENT Zoning Study: Small-scale Industrial Uses in Commercial Zones
In accordance with Section 34(10.7)(a) of the Planning Act and Section 3.(1) of Ontario Regulation 545/06, notice is hereby provided that a zoning by-law amendment proposal is being considered by the Planning Infrastructure and Economic Development Department of the City of Ottawa. LANDS SUBJECT TO THE PROPOSAL The Zoning By-law Amendment proposal affects lands in commercial zones, city-wide, as follows: AM-Arterial Mainstreet; GM-General Mixed-Use; LC-Local Commercial Use; MC-Mixed Use Centre; MD-Mixed Use Downtown; TD-Transit-Oriented Development; TM-Traditional Mainstreet; RC-Rural Commercial Zone; VM-Village Mixed-Use Zone. PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT Amendments to the Zoning By-law are being considered to permit small-scale, low-impact industrial uses, including micro-breweries, micro-distilleries and small-scale food processing associated with restaurants. The Study will also consider opportunities to permit small-scale manufacturing such as maker spaces, a location where tools and other resources are shared to produce prototypes and manufacture small batches of product. The amendments would permit land uses that combine retail store, retail food store, catering establishment, restaurant or bar with small-scale forms of low-impact industrial uses. The study will focus on commercial zones where restaurants, bars and retail uses are already permitted. The proposed amendments would: • Define and permit low impact, small-scale industrial activities • Allow small-batch manufacturing as a non-accessory component of a business • Provide new opportunities for small business • Contribute to the development of vibrant commercial streets RELATED PLANNING APPLICATIONS N/A FURTHER INFORMATION For more information about this matter, including information about preserving your appeal rights, contact: Carol Ruddy, MCIP RPP Planner Policy Planning Branch 110 Laurier Avenue West, 4th floor Ottawa, ON K1P 1J1 Tel: 613-580-2424, ext. 28457 • Fax: 613-580-2459 Email: carol.ruddy@ottawa.ca Additional information can also be obtained at Ottawa.ca/industrial SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS The City of Ottawa would like to receive any comments concerning this proposal. Please forward comments to the above-noted planner via mail, telephone, facsimile or email by March 9, 2017. Comments received will be considered in the evaluation of the proposal.

Attacks will make us stronger
T
he murder of six people and the wounding of others at the Centre Culturel Islamique de Quebec on Jan. 29 shocked all of Canada. And yet in the midst of all of the horror of this tragic shooting, Canadians have come together. Such hatred, prejudice and racism as represented by this act of violence have no place in our society, and Canadians across the country have been quick and unified in denouncing such action and showing love and compassion for those directly impacted. Are you surprised? By the shooting and deaths — yes, because an attack like this on those in a worship space has not happened before in this country. But we have not been surprised by the reaction of Canadians because we care about each other, we respect each other’s beliefs and we value our diversity. The actions of one person, as evidenced in this tragedy, are not going to shake our faith in each other. If anything, this has become an opportunity to express what it means to be a Canadian, what it means to be a part of a society that embraces dif-
ficult cultures, different faiths, different viewpoints and how our common values are paramount and bring us together as one. Will we ever forget this tragic shooting and those who died or were injured? No, just as we have not forgotten the 1989 massacre at Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal where 14 women were killed in a rampage, also by a solo shooter filled with hatred. And just like the Montreal massacre has led to ongoing and enhanced awareness of violence against women, we know that this murderous rampage in Quebec City will become a similar incident of focus that will lead to greater awareness and advocacy of our Canadian belief in diversity and acceptance. So those who died on Jan. 29 will not have died in vain. Their memory will live on and will be yet another building block in the continuing project of creating the Canadian society that we all want to see and experience, one that respects and enjoys the diversity and differences that each of us brings to our cultural mosaic.
Hold on tight as province puts brakes on road tolls
S
ure, it’s kind of cheap fun to sit back and watch the city of Toronto fight with the Ontario provincial government. Too bad there has to be a winner, some would say. But the issue is serious and might be coming our way in the not-toodistant future. The argument is over tolls on highways. Toronto, after years of dilly-dallying while its traffic congestion went from bad to awful, finally bit the bullet and decided to start charging drivers for the use of the Gardiner Expressway and the Don Valley Parkway. Not so fast, said the province, for reasons that may not be entirely non-political. It’s an interesting and important discussion. The Don Valley and the Gardiner are the two main entrance roads into Toronto’s downtown. They

And a third group thought it was a good idea that didn’t go nearly far enough. Tory’s proposal, a $2 a time toll for use of the Don Valley and the Gardiner, was seen as occupying an unfortunate middle ground — enough to be irritating but not enough to deter most drivers and not enough to raise the big money Toronto’s transit system needs. There were better ways, it was suggested. But just when the debate over the plan was about to begin, Ontario’s Premier, Kathleen Wynne, stopped it by declaring that Toronto would not be allowed to put tolls in place. There is the suggestion that this was done to curry favour with people who live in the suburbs surrounding the city, whose votes Wynne needs in an election. She sweetened the pot a bit by offering the city a larger share of EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: Theresa Fritz, 613-221-6225 theresa.fritz@metroland.com NEWS EDITOR: John Curry john.curry@metroland.com - 613-221-6152 REPORTER/PHOTOGRAPHER: Mellissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com - 613-221-6161
gasoline tax revenues, which is nice, but the deterrent effect of a toll was lost. If it was there in the first place. The mystery continues, no nearer to a solution.

Dragon boats take to the ice for Winterlude
Look inside for the
the eye of the dragon to awaken it before the competition. The races will follow, running until about 5 p.m. Spectators can watch from ice level, depending on the crowds and are encouraged to take transit or carpool if they want to see some races. The boats are equipped with a sled with two sets of skate blades, as well as braking and steering devices. Paddlers use ice sticks with seven picks to propel the boats forward. Getting the festival to Ottawa has been almost a year in the making and started when Brooman got a call from China, inviting him to the ice dragon boat races in Budapest in 48 hours. Five hours later a plane ticket popped up in his inbox, starting a crazy trip to Budapest. “Then it was about coming back and unpeeling the onion to figure out how it might best fit into Ottawa,” he said.

There’s at least one person who’s smiling when seeing the predicted ice-cold temperatures in the forecast. Dragon Boat Festival CEO John Brooman, is praying for -8 C with some sun for Feb. 17 and 18 as the boats will take to the ice for the first time in North America during the two-day Winterlude event at Dow’s Lake. Before taking some time to chat about this first-ever event, he was checking the 14-day forecast. “I’m happy to see the cold. For the first time in a Canadian winter, I’m looking for as much cold as possible.” The first time the boats will touch the ice in North America will be for a practice session on Feb. 17 around noon. “Participants are going to get in them and take them for a test drive,” Brooman said.

The Ottawa Ice Dragon Boat Festival takes to the ice Feb. 17 and 18 as part of Winterlude. This is the first-ever ice dragon boat festival in North America. Sixty teams from around the world are registered for the event. There are teams coming from China, Texas, California, Europe, as well as some teams that annually participate in the summer dragon boat festival. There are even some on the waitlist from Africa and Australia. The event sold out in eight minutes.
“It’s the international exposure this is getting. In no way did we ever expect this kind of reaction. We got lucky,” Brooman said. The official event gets started Saturday morning at 10:30 a.m. with a traditional eye dotting ceremony. Brooman said the custom dates back 2,400 years. During the ceremony they dot

And having the event on the Rideau Canal was the obvious answer. In the meantime, he’s been working with Canadian Heritage, the National Capital Commission and the Chinese embassy to get the event this far. It’s included the receipt of a shipping container from China filled with boats and traditional decor — about 5,000 pounds of it, Brooman said. “The eagle has landed … you can literally track it across the ocean,” he said, adding when it arrived in Prince Rupert, it made its way to Montreal by rail.

was held up in customs for about two to three weeks and when it was released, Brooman released a sigh of relief. It hasn’t been an easy process. Brooman describes the festival as a “risky venture” being put on with a shoestring budget of less than $50,000. But it will all be worth it when those boats take the ice. “That moment where we start a race and we actually have ice and it works, that will be the moment for me. It will be very emotional because it’s been a whirlwind,” he said.

Institut Jeanne D'Arc hits major milestone BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com
Cornerstone Housing for Women has just passed a major milestone in its project to transform a former Westboro convent into supportive housing for women. Action Ottawa, the city’s primary program for increasing the supply of low-income affordable housing in the city, awarded Cornerstone about $5.5 million toward the purchase price and renovations of the Institut Jeanne D’Arc on Princeton Avenue. “We’re all so excited here. It’s just such a wonderful project and we’ve been working toward it for quite a while,” said Cornerstone executive director Sue Garvey. On top of the grant from the city, Cornerstone must raise another $1.5 million for the renovations and purchase price. Cornerstone will start a capital campaign this spring, organizing community-based events to welcome people into the build-
ing and show off their vision for the space. The capital campaign will run until women start moving into the building, planned for the spring of 2018. At present, there are 40 individual rooms in the building. The interior will be changed to create about the same number of self-contained apartments. Garvey said she is still working with the city to discuss funds to help provide the necessary supports to women living in the building. Meanwhile, she’s working to develop a plan for the women who will live in the building and she’s exploring partnerships with local agencies that can offer support. Garvey added Cornerstone has started a new partnership with Dovercourt Recreation Centre to help women to get involved in the community. “People have been wonderful. I think that’s why we are so excited to be moving into this neighbourhood in a way, because we just really love the fact that it’s such a safe residential
neighbourhood.” Anyone wishing to contribute to the capital campaign can get in touch with Sue Garvey directly at 613-254-6584. As work on the “Mother House” moves forward, Uniform Developments, with architect Barry Hobin, is working on plans to develop the remainder of the property with infill housing, including about 16 single detached and semidetached homes. Currently, according to Todd Duckworth, intern architect with Barry J. Hobin and Associates Architects, Uniform is in the process of applying for a rezoning of the site, which is currently zoned institutional. Uniform previously developed a portion of land directly north of the site. He added the proposed development will blend with what’s already there and will include a range of sizes of primarily semi-detached homes. “One thing we’re very mindful of is the street trees on the site,” Duckworth said of designing the units and minimizing the number of driveways coming off of the street. The homes are two storeys, and some are slightly elevated. “We’re trying to keep that rise as minimal as possible ,” he said.

Final recommendations opt for closure of eight schools BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com
After months of consultations with parents, students and the community on the fate of eight schools slated for closure, school board staff is moving forward with shuttering the doors. Public school board staff released its final accommodation review recommendations on Jan. 27, alongside what was heard throughout the consultation process. Seven of those schools are in Ottawa’s west end. The proposed closures include D. Aubrey Moodie, Greenbank Middle School, Leslie Park, Grant Alternative, Century Public, Regina Street and J.H. Putman. In the eastern-area review, Rideau High School is recommended for closure. While the school closures remain in the report, some changes to the recommendations were made by staff, in-
cluding keeping J.H. Putman open until the completion of a new intermediate wing at Agincourt Road Public School. The rest of the schools would close before the new school year starts in September. According to board documents, the purpose of the review was to support more access to programs, consistency in school size, the elimination of middle schools, and more. The initial recommendations went before the board in September of last year. The western review area has 3,837 excess spaces in 22 elementary schools and four secondary schools. The proposed changes would reduce the number of excess student spaces by 2,117. In the board’s report outlining the final recommendations for the west area, it shows the changes will result in an annual saving of $6.4 million in facility renewal, as well as the reduction of 21 full-time equivalent positions. The changes will re-

According to the report, about 130 people attended the first public meeting and the second was attended by about 210, but online there were even more comments submitted — 3,073. Common concerns throughout the four families of schools included transportation, overcrowding and the readiness of middle schools students going into high schools. The staff report will be presented to the board’s committee of the whole on Feb. 13 at 6 p.m. If necessary, the meeting will continue Feb. 14. Anyone interested in appearing as a delegate can contact board services at 613-596-8211 ext. 8363 or email Samantha.flynn@ocdsb. ca. Maximum speaking time is two minutes. Final board approval of the recommendations is scheduled for March 1.

Driver facing charges following road rage incident with cyclist
Pet Adoptions quality time spent: pets don’t complain; they don’t ask us to talk about our feelings; they don’t give advice we didn’t ask for. Just love. • Caring for a pet keeps us active and engaged. Knowing we have to get out to walk the dog might be the only thing that gets us some fresh air and exercise on a gloomy winter day. Keeping active for our pets will help improve our energy levels and mood as well. And, simply caring for a pet each day can help keep us engaged and feeling valuable and needed, with a positive focus to get us through the winter. • Pets connect us to people. Pets can be the easiest conversation starters with other people when we are feeling isolated in the dead of winter. Taking the dog for a walk or to the park might turn into a positive social experience meeting other animal lovers who may need a friendly chat as much as we do. • Pets keep us healthy. Research shows that owning a pet can be linked to lower blood pressure, a better balance of natural hormones and chemicals in our bodies, better fitness, and fewer visits to the doctor than those who choose not to keep an animal companion around. So as we endure another frigid February here in Ottawa, hang in there, and know that comfort, companionship, and some help cheering up are just a tail-wag away.

A 47-year-old Gatineau driver has been charged with assault following a road rage incident on Jan. 11. Police originally didn’t press charges when first investigating the incident between the male driver and a male cyclist both heading northbound on Bronson Avenue near Slater Street. During the confrontation, according to police, the cyclist got off his bicycle and placed it in front of the vehicle, continuing a verbal confrontation. The driver continued to move forward, pushing the cyclist through the intersection. At some point, the driver got out of his vehicle, grabbed the bicycle and threw it to the ground and then assaulted the cyclist. When police arrived at the scene, witnesses stood in

Pet of the Week: Chico (ID# A198680)
As Ottawa residents, we are not strangers to winter’s harsh temperatures, treacherous weather conditions, and dull, dark, dismal days. Unfortunately, for some of us, winter can take its toll as we succumb to what is commonly known as the “winter blues.” Common symptoms of the winter blues include loss of energy, increased appetite, and feelings of depression. Fortunately, when feeling the brunt of the winter season weighing down, we can find comfort and cheer in both the benefits and responsibilities that come with caring for our pets. Here’s how: • Pets provide a unique form of simple, unconditional love and companionship. With a pet, any time together is uncomplicated,
Meet Chico, a smart and loyal dog looking for his new best friend. Chico is an active boy who loves to run around and play in the snow. He can be a little shy at first, so he’s looking for an experienced dog owner who can help him come out of his shell. Once he gets to know you, he’ll always be by your side. Chico would prefer to be the only dog in the home, so he can have all of his new family’s love to himself.

Audrey’s proud moment elicits hysteria from brothers
T
he old Singer Sewing machine was considered a piece of furniture in the parlour, but in the wintertime, with the parlour closed off, the door shut, and a braided rug rolled at the bottom to keep out the cold draft, the Singer was rolled into the kitchen. Hardly a day passed that Mother wasn’t on the old machine. There was always a patch needed here and a hem there, and on the nights Mother wasn’t working on her diaries, she often was at the Singer sewing machine. My sister Audrey thought it was time she could make something for herself, and finally, one winter night, after she had badgered Mother enough, she was told she could use the sewing machine. Well!! That was like telling Everett he was old enough to drive the Model T! Mother said Audrey should scrounge around in the handme-down box Aunt Lizzie had sent from Regina, and find one of Uncle Jack’s well-worn

She was down to turning up the hem, and pieces of navy wool scraps covered the kitchen floor. Finally, Audrey said the dress was finished, and she would be wearing it to church the next morning. She had no intention of trying it on first, as Mother suggested, but marched upstairs, hung it suits, take it apart, and use the was to be sure to follow the on a wire hanger behind the material from it.

She shot daggers at me when I mentioned the fact. The next problem was the dress was at least six inches shorter in the back than it was in the front, and one side seam puckered like a piece of old newspaper. I decided it was best to keep these flaws to myself. Audrey sauntered into the
right there in the front pew! It was really the most awful dress I had ever seen, but as Mother often said, every cloud has a silver lining. Audrey said she would be glad to make me a dress out of the same material if there was enough left. I said a silent prayer of thanks that there was nothing left but

But Audrey was going to wear the dress to church and that’s all there was to it. She was so proud of it; she even took her coat off, and us sitting

Stittsville’s Erica Wiebe, an Olympic gold medalist, and dualsport athlete Vincent de Haître from Cumberland took home the female and male athlete of the year honours at the Ottawa Sports Awards, held at Algonquin College on Feb. 1. Wiebe won the gold medal in wrestling at the Rio 2016 Summer Games, while de Haître won national titles in both cycling and speed skating in 2016, ranking on the world stage in long-track skating. Wiebe’s mother, Paula Preston, also took home a major award, winning the Spirit of Sport Award. Preston has volunteered with multiple sports clubs that her two daughters competed with, including the Kanata Rythmic Gymnastics Club, which her daughter Alisa attended. After Alisa retired, Preston stayed on as a volunteer and has been with the club for 23 years. She’s also volunteered with the Ottawa Fury and the National Capital Wrestling Club. Preston knew before the awards she wasn’t just attending for her daughter’s award, and she would take hardware of her own home. But she didn’t know that Wiebe had flown in from out of town to surprise her mother and formally present her with the award. “My mom wasn’t initially thrilled about me wrestling, but she has always instilled in me the values of fighting well, fighting hard and fighting fairly,” Wiebe said. Mayor Jim Watson also recognized Mooney’s Bay resident Sue Holloway – who is originally from Barrhaven – with the Mayor’s Cup, and the official declaration of Sue Holloway Day in Ottawa. Holloway, a two-time Olympic medalist and summer and winter Olympian, has held a long list of volunteer jobs with local crosscountry skiing and canoe-kayak clubs. “It’s been so exciting to be able to share my love and passion for physical activity and sport with people,” she said. “Ottawa is a great city for sports because we’re just the right size. This is the best place to experience all the seasons.” The Brian Kilrea Lifetime Achievement Coaching Award went to Don Moxley, a Lebreton Flats-area resident who has been coaching cycling and Nordic skiing for more than 30 years, developing athletes through the Ottawa

Central Park Community Safety Night Residents of the Central Park community are invited to join me, our local Community Police Officer and representatives from Crime Prevention Ottawa for a community safety night. The meeting will be held on Thursday February 23 at 7pm, in the Central Park residence located at 120 Central Park Drive. The presentations will consist of information regarding personal safety, securing your home and private property, the benefits of Neighbourhood Watch, how to initiate a local, outdoor safety audit and how to receive a free safety audit of your home. All residents are encouraged to attend this informative presentation. Closure of Carling East Queensway On-ramp The Ministry of Transportation (MTO) will host a public information session on Wednesday, February 15 from 4-8pm at the St Anthony Banquet Hall, 523 St Anthony Street to outline the proposed closure of the Carling East Queensway on-ramp and subsequent ripple effects on local streets and intersections. According to the MTO, the widening of the Queensway, between Maitland and Island Park ‘poses operational and safety’ issues if the on-ramp were to remain. Significant intersection modifications are also proposed for the Kirkwood/Carling intersection, including a new restriction banning vehicles exiting the westbound Queensway at Carling from making a left hand turn at Kirkwood. Following the June 2016 Open House, I requested that a revised traffic study be undertaken including a projected traffic impact study on streets in Carlington, mainly Coldrey, Merivale and Kirkwood, which was conducted. If you are interested in the Ministry’s plan to close the on-ramp, proposed changes to nearby intersections and/or plan to mitigate local, cut-through traffic, please attend the February 15 open house and have your voice heard. I have opposed the Carling on-ramp closure since Day 1 and my position has not changed. Canada150 Maple Grove for Moffat Farm I am proud to announce that the Moffat Farm Veterans Park in Carleton Heights will be the new location for River Ward’s Canada 150 maple grove of 150 sugar maples, to be planted later this year. This is part of a city-wide campaign to plant 150 maple trees in every city ward. A public ceremony will be planned with the community, likely in the autumn of 2017. Police to Focus on Red Light Runners The Ottawa Police Service will focus on red light runners during the month of February. Between 2011 and 2015, there were 3,841 collisions resulting in 1,289 injuries and 4 fatalities in Ottawa, due to red light running. A red light camera will be installed later in the Spring at the Coldrey/Kirkwood intersection in Carlington. Although the volume of vehicles is not as heavy as other local intersections, this intersection has had an above average number of red light running, causing multiple T-bone collisions. The fine for running a red light is $325 plus 3 demerit points. Running a red light places the community in danger, please stop for red lights.
