Heritage tag poised for Broadview PS Subcommittee recommends status for ‘tower’ steph.willems@metroland.com

It’s rare that the majority of delegates at the city’s built heritage subcommittee speak out against a heritage designation, but that’s what happened on Feb. 11. Ten delegates spoke on the issue of designating Broadview Public School’s oldest section as a heritage

structure, a move that could complicate the long-sought rebuild of the crowded and dilapidated school. Though only two delegates were strongly in favour of the designation and many more passionately against, the members of the subcommittee ultimately carried the request for designation.

A brew for the winter blues

Tim Feren of Big Rig Brewery had his hands full keeping up with the demand for cold suds during the first annual Winter Brewfest at Lansdowne Park on Feb. 14. The weather outside was truly frightful, but the atmosphere inside the Horticulture Building was hopping as Ottawans sought to escape the chilly temperatures, drowning their winter blues with over two dozen local craft beers, food, prizes and friendship.

As the city works with its partners to craft a gang exit strategy, residents from a neighbourhood that has seen recent gang violence gathered at Michele Heights Community Centre on Feb. 3 to voice their concerns. The discussions with city, law enforcement and service provider representatives were of the one-on-one variety, as the community meeting was held in an open house format, rather than the town hall-type that characterized a meeting in the fall of 2013. The gathering was organized by Bay Coun. Mark Taylor following a rash of gang-related shootings in westend communities late last year. “At that time (these partners) met in a closed door session to talk about strategies we were using to date, and how some of those could be adapted and new things brought to bear,” said Taylor. “(This gathering) provides an opportunity to ask questions, provide feedback, and learn more about what each of the partners are doing.” Taylor said he hoped to show the public how much is being done to address the problem, inform them of new strategies and collect feedback on those efforts. “People were concerned, and rightly so,” said Taylor of last year’s violence. Insp. Chris Renwick of the Ottawa Police Service Guns and Gangs Unit said community members expected the police force to “step it up” in response to the violence. “Through many different units within the Ottawa police, we’ve really stepped up the suppression and enforcement. (Within the Guns and Gangs Unit) in criminal investigations we have more skilled investigators working. As far as our direction action response team, we have a larger team out there in the community dealing with the incidents that are culminating in gunfire.” Each of the service providers present – a group that spanned the gamut from law enforcement to youth services to local community houses – hoped to form part of the solution to the city’s gang problem. The city’s existing anti-gang strategy, designed to turn vulnerable individuals away from a life of crime through opportunities, makes good use of these partners. As Taylor stated,

many service providers looked at what else they could be doing to fulfill their mandate in response to the violence of the past few months. Ottawa Community Housing, the landlord in the Michelle Heights neighbourhood, has strengthened its relationship with the police service, added surveillance cameras and stepped up foot and cruiser patrols by its own security team. Stéphane Giguere, CEO of Ottawa Community Housing, said it was important for residents to have a way of quickly communicating information and concerns to OCH and to the police. “It’s about making sure communities can have a voice, can talk about events, and have a way to communicate,” said Giguere. “When they see something suspicious happening in their communities, they can transfer and relay that information back to the authorities.” Pinecrest-Queensway Community Health Centre, which operates a number of programs for adults and youth in the west end, including at the Michelle Heights Community House. “We’ve done some things that we would always want to do – go door to door and gauge the community’s concerns,” said Wanda MacDonald, executive director of the PQCHC. “We do a lot of crime prevention work, as our role is prevention … but we’re working with our partners on a few new initiatives.” One of the initiatives is called Leaders of Change, which brings together residents, OCH, police and other partners to problem-solve around issues related to crime and safety, then take steps to achieve it. Among the actions taken are safety audits and community walkabouts to places known for suspicious activity. The aim is to reclaim that space for the neighbourhood. For Michelle Heights resident Awad Algied, the recent spite of violence compelled him to attend the gathering out of concern. “As a community member, I have to solve it, I have to do something,” he said. “This issue needs collaboration – we have to all work together to solve it. This issue starts from childhood, from kindergarten. If (youth) need help, we need to invest in them.” Failure to intervene at an early point only increases the damage to the individual and society – as well as the associated cost – later on, said Algied.

OCDSB in better financial shape than other boards: chair As budget looms, Ministry tells school boards to find efficiencies Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

Budget decisions are looming for the public school board, as the Ministry of Education warns of reductions in program spending. For some school boards, most notably Toronto’s, the ministry directive to find efficiencies could mean the closure of many underutilized schools. Ottawa likely won’t have to resort to this, said public board chairwoman Shirley Seward, thanks to high levels of enrolment that keeps a certain level of funding rolling in. “The message we’re getting from the province is to not expect any increases, and be ready for actual reductions,” said Seward, who recently attended a meeting of all public boards in Toronto. “Our board is in pretty good shape compared to others. We actually have reserves that we’ve been using.” That said, Seward admitted this budget will still be a challenge, and there remains a number of unknowns at this early point. A report introduced at the budgetoriented Feb. 10 committee of the whole meeting laid bare the situation in the province of Ontario. With the provincial government planning to pare down a $12 billion budget deficit to zero in three years’ time, reductions in program spending are required, and the education sector expects to be included in the trimming. “Districts have been advised that they can expect to see a continued reduction in (grants for student needs), such as top up funding for schools with less than 100 per cent occupancy,” reads the report. Those grants will be issued by the ministry in late March, which makes budgeting at the present time a matter of guesswork, as board staff don’t yet know the exact amount of funding they’ll have to work with. In the past, the Ottawa public board has deferred maintenance on buildings and dipped into its reserves for crucial infrastructure needs. With a maintenance deficit of $400 million, the board will see its reserves fall from $34 million in August of last year to $17 million this year. “Every year, we try to do the abso-

lute essentials,” said Seward. “Things that aren’t as pressing get pushed to the side. It’s very difficult for us to deal with that – even doing ongoing maintenance will be a challenge.” Should the grants from the ministry come in lower than expected, another challenge will be had.A full 80 perccent of board expenditures go towards salary and benefits cost, with the remaining 20 perccent funding other costs, like supplies, maintenance, student transportation, and the like. Should there be a reduction in funding it would have to be found inside this envelope, keeping in mind that it couldn’t include the vast majority of staff who are part of a collective agreement. Seward knows from experience where cuts, should they occur, would likely be focused on. Both her

ing will improve. “We’ve made changes to give us a higher rating,” she said. “If we get a higher rating, we will receive up to 90 per cent of the shortfall in transportation funding … If we don’t get the transportation money, we’ll be facing even greater pressure.” While “redistribution” of students from high-enrolment schools to lower-enrolment schools might be required as part of the budget process, Seward said she feels school closures won’t be warranted. Once ministry funding has been announced, and a draft budget tabled, it will then be the public’s turn to look over the plan and make suggestions. The board will vote on the budget on June 22.

The Ottawa-Carleton District School board is hoping for additional ministry funding for transportation to avoid difficult decisions come budget time.

‘The message we’re getting from the province is to not expect any increases, and be ready for actual reductions’ Shirley Seward Chairwoman, OCDSB

and her fellow trustees would like to avoid this at all costs. “Within the 80 per cent, the categories of staff not fixed directly to a collective agreement include those teaching English as a second language, special education, and education assistants,” said Seward. “With previous boards, before this last one, the cuts would tend to come in those very vulnerable areas … There will not be a strong appetite amongst trustees to reduce investment in those programs. Those areas are almost sacred to us.” Seward holds on to the hope – a likely one, she says – that the board will receive additional funding in the area of transportation, which would give them more breathing room overall. Because the board is linked to a student transportation consortium that also serves the English Catholic board – one that went through a reorganization last year to improve efficiency – Seward believes her board’s stand-

Proposed transit fare hike becoming a tipping point Councillors mull new transit funding options as fare proposed to reach $3.55 Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

The proposed transit fare hike contained within the city’s draft budget seems modest at 2.5 per cent, but at $3.55 a trip, it has some residents – and councillors - wondering if it’s too much. In the draft budget, OC Transpo fares would rise 10 cents, up from $3.45, while a monthly pass would rise $2.50 to $103.25. PRESTO pass fares would rise from $2.77 to $2.84. In 2009, OC Transpo fares were $3.00. The city is aiming for a funding model where 55 per cent of the operational costs of OC Transpo is funded through fares, with the remaining 45 per cent funded through the city’s tax base. Currently, 53 per cent of the service is paid through fares. Increasing operational costs means the money has to come

from somewhere, but at some point the cost of a fare can become a disincentive to using transit – which works against the city’s goal of increasing ridership. Dalhousie Community Association president Michael Powell, who represents an urban neighbourhood with longestablished transit routes, took to Twitter on Feb. 4 to voice his concerns. The fare hike would mean a family with two small children would pay $11 each way to go to the War Museum, he said, while a cab could do the trip for $8 or $9. “If (OC Transpo) fares continue to increase, they’ll be about $3.70 when LRT opens,” Powell wrote. “At that price, will it make sense for a tourist to take it?” Ultimately, said Powell, this means that “even at Presto rates, it’s hard to justify the cost of taking the bus in the core.” At a public budget consul-

tation meeting held Feb. 11 in Vanier, several councillors admitted that residents had expressed concern to them about the proposed fare hike. Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney, who sits on the city’s Transit Commission, has taken note of efforts by the Toronto Transit Commission to boost ridership through incentives like allowing children under 12 ride for free, as well as improvements in peak service levels. “I’m not advocating for that - I brought it up as a discussion point – only to say that if we are going to increase fares, we should really be saying ‘If we’re increasing fares, there should be some extra service or some extra offering that goes along with that,’ ” said Tierney. “And we haven’t seen that the last few years.” Kitchissippi Coun. Leiper, who also sits on the Transit Commission, said a budget consultation meeting held in

need – but can’t pay – transit fares. Leiper said he’d like to look at putting some of the cash fare increase onto other fare classes, as well as drawing more transit funding from the city’s tax base. Staff would have to be instructed to explore these options. “I would like to put a bit more of the burden for transit onto the property tax base,” said Leiper. “I’ve heard a lot of appetite from people getting back to me, and in comments I’m reading on social media and online forums. But certainly it’s not a blank cheque – there’s a recognition that taxes can’t go up a whole lot higher than inflation. In Kitchissippi Ward, people’s homes are appreciating, but there’s that demographic of people who are on fixed incomes and have

the west end revealed a desire for better transit service. “The other thing we heard … is the appetite to pay a little more in order to achieve the social services we’re looking for and to achieve a better transit system,” said Leiper. “I think there is a really pragmatic recognition, though, that the sky is not a limit.” While Kitchissippi is generally known as an affluent area of the city, and while some taxpayers might be comfortable paying more, income levels still vary widely. The Parkdale Food Centre, which serves hundreds of west-end individuals and families from its Rosemount Avenue location, keeps a till of loose change to assist those who

been living in their homes a long time. They’re being hit hard – they’re not seeking to pay more.” Rideau-Rockliffe Coun. Tobi Nussbaum, who also sits on the commission, has said that there will be time for the group to discuss strategic directions when they meet on the budget. “There will be an opportunity to have a discussion about how we manage the fiscal pressures,” said Nussbaum. “Should it be through rate increases? Should we re-look at the issue of the ratio – do we really need to insist that 55 per cent of the costs of running OC Transpo have to be borne by the fare, rather than the broader fiscal base?” City council will consider final budget recommendations on March 11.

Some worried designation puts rebuild in jeopardy Continued from page 1

The city’s planning committee and then council will have to sign off on the designation before it becomes official. The building in question was the oldest, most prominent section of Broadview Public School - the aging facility slated for demolition and rebuild later this year. Heritage advocates stated the oldest portion, built in 1927 and referred to as “the tower” despite being two

storeys tall, had design value and historical and contextual significance, which was confirmed by city staffer Lesley Collins. Parents of Broadview students had concerns about the poor accessibility of the tower portion, the fact that the classrooms were cramped and poorly climate controlled, and only contained bathrooms on the ground floor. Because the building would have to be preserved by the school board,

the site plan of the Broadview rebuild would require changes, possibly leading to delays in rebuilding. The site of the tower portion overlaps with the new school’s surface parking lot. Laureen Chung, a professional engineer and parent of a Broadview child, said she didn’t support “affecting the rebuild of Broadview,” nor did she want any child to have to attend school if the tower portion remains. Claire Todd, also a Broadview parent, said the school has seen no significant investment since 1976 and had racked up a huge repair backlog – a situation that spurred the rebuild efforts. “It was 32 degrees in the tower last week, during a cold snap – the teacher had to

open the windows,” she said. “How much funding will an empty building receive when the (public board) can barely repair the buildings in its district? If there’s value in this building, there needs to be funding that recognizes this value.” Others who opposed the designation said they didn’t do it out of lack of respect for history, rather, their stance was that the pressing need for a new, fully-functional school in the community outweighed the preservation of the old one. The public board and ministry of education are tightening their belts as school board budget time kicks off. With lean years projected in the near future due to the province’s deficit-reduction strategies,

many worried that the building would sit abandoned, adjacent to the new school, while the board, the community and the city decided what could be made of it. Repurposing old buildings isn’t a new concept, though the tower portion of Broadview would require significant upkeep and renovations regardless of what role it served – an expensive proposition. While no plan exists at this time, talk of converting the building into a community centre (or some other neighbourhood-enhancing use) intrigued Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper, who voted in favour of the heritage designation. “Given the rapid change the neighbourhood is going through … it’s important to preserve the touchstones of the

past,” said Leiper, who stated he was confident the new school would be delivered on time and on budget, and was certain an occupant would be found for the old Broadview tower. Staff said that rezoning the parcel on which the tower sits wouldn’t be very difficult, and it could be sectioned-off from the school site altogether if needed. Before the subcommittee rendered their decision, public board chairwoman Shirley Seward said that the board would comply with any decision made by the city. She did say, however, that the adjacent Nepean High School served as a better example of the style of architecture that put Broadview in the running for heritage designation.

Bus riders bear unfair burden

ayor Jim Watson has earned a lot of political mileage thanks to his promise to keep tax hikes pegged at a reasonable rate while maintaining essential city

services. The city’s most recent budget came in with a suggested 1.75 per cent hike to property taxes, translating to an additional $67 on the average home owner’s annual property tax bill. This year, the mayor is once again on the record as saying the budget won’t force the city to make service cuts. This argument falls flat on its face considering the proposed 2.5 per cent increase on average to transit fares in 2015. The fare hike will result in bus and train riders paying 53 per cent of the $478-million annual cost of running OC Transpo, moving the city further away from its long-standing policy of maintaining a 50-50 split between taxes and fares to fund public transit. Since 2010, the cost of a single adult cash fare has increased from $3 to $3.55, roughly an 18 per cent increase, higher than Ottawa’s most recent property tax hikes, which Watson has promised

to cap at two per cent a year. The proposed fare hike comes after a dip in ridership over the past three years, with the number of customer trips taken every year dropping from 103.5 million in 2011 to 96.8 million in 2014. At the same time it is proposing to once again hike fares, OC Transpo is predicting a slight rise in ridership to 97.3 million customer trips in 2015. This seems to defy the logic of economic thinking, unless the bus company is banking on taking on an additional 100,000 person trips every year powered strictly by the city’s population growth. Eventually, council will face a bitter choice between holding the line at the arbitrary two per cent level in property tax increases set by Watson and preserving public transit ridership. The alternative is cutting “nice to have” items in the budget, or searching for any fat on “essential city services” to maintain a 50-50 split. Council should be commended for keeping property taxes low, but the cost shouldn’t be borne on the backs of transit users.

The invasion of the small office buildings

an you pinpoint the exact year that houses began to look like little office buildings? It just sort of happened without any warning. It’s not as if all the architects and builders got together and made a formal announcement: “From this day hence, all houses will look like little office buildings. God save the Queen.” But, all of a sudden, there they were. Right where you expected to see that cute little bungalow that had been around since the Second World War, there was a hole in ground, a dumpster, a portable toilet, a lot of mud and, shortly thereafter, a little office building. “Whose office is that?” you might have asked one of the guys loading the portable toilet onto the truck.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town “That’s not an office; that’s a house,” would be the reply. How could it be a house? There was no wood, no brick, no eaves – just a boxy thing that couldn’t be anything but a small office building. You had questions, but no one was around to answer. Where was the slope in the roof? Weren’t flat roofs supposed to be a no-no in a place that gets a lot of snow? Could we have the bungalow back? But there was no stopping it.

People eventually caught on that distinctive older homes were being knocked down so that more small office buildings could be put up, but that didn’t stop them. Which brings us to where we are now: more of these small office buildings are going up with no offices in them. It would have been some consolation if actual office buildings had begun to take on the characteristics of houses, but that hasn’t happened. They just look like small office buildings, only big. There’s probably not much that can be done to undo this. The only way to prevent the complete takeover of Ottawa’s neighbourhoods by small office buildings is to attack the root causes. And what might those causes DISTRIBUTION INQUIRIES Traci Cameron 613-221-6223 ADMINISTRATION: Donna Therien 613-221-6233 DISplAy ADvERTISINg: Gisele Godin - Kanata - 221-6214 Dave Pennett - Ottawa West - 221-6209 Brad Clouthier - Orleans - 613-221-6154 Cindy Gilbert - Ottawa South - 221-6211 Geoff Hamilton - Ottawa East - 221-6215 Valerie Rochon - Barrhaven - 221-6227 Jill Martin - Nepean - 221-6221 Mike Stoodley - Stittsville - 221-6231 Janine Kivell - Ottawa West - 221-6217 Rico Corsi - Automotive Consultant - 221-6224 Greg Stimpson - Automotive Consultant - 221-6232

be? Well, you know how people are obsessed with work these days? They can’t be out of touch for even a second, so their smartphones are constantly on and their owners are constantly checking them. Surely it’s only logical that the natural extension of refusing to let go of the workplace is to having a home that looks just like one. Further, should you choose to work from home, as more and more people are doing and more and more people will do in the near future as downtown becomes completely inaccessible – should you choose to work from home, it may be comforting to do your work in a building that resembles a workplace. You’ll feel right at home – or right at work. If this logic is correct, then as long as our society continues its obsession with work, we will have houses that resemble office buildings. Perhaps 50 years from now we’ll see ClASSIfIED ADvERTISINg SAlES:

City shies away from Plasco as company seeks creditor protection alex.robinson@metroland.com

The city’s relationship with Plasco Energy Group is likely over. City staff recommended cutting ties with Plasco on the same day the waste-to-energy company sought creditor protection, cutting 80 employees loose. Plasco made the move on Feb. 10, a few weeks after missing a third city deadline to acquire financing to build a new $200 million facility on Moodie Drive. The environment committee will likely put a rubber stamp on the city manager’s recommendation at a meeting on Feb. 17, the committee’s chairman, Capital Coun. David Chernoshenko said. “It’s not in doubt that council will agree with the recommendation and end our relationship

with Plasco,” he said. The city first signed a contract with Plasco in 2011 in the hope Ottawa could take advantage of lower waste disposal rates provided by the company’s plasma gasification technology to convert garbage into electricity. The city would have paid $82.25 per tonne of waste, which would have amounted to $9.1 million a year. “The council felt here was a promising technology that the city could help to bring along and would benefit us if they found a way to do it,” Chernoshenko said. The contract did not tie any city funding into the new facility and required Plasco come up with financing on its own. The last missed deadline was Dec. 31. Chernoshenko said he did not think the city was too lenient in giving Plasco two extensions.

“It’s not as if we were giving them a break,” he said. “It was clearly taking longer for them to get the environmental approvals, to work out kinks in their system and raise the funding,” he explained the city had nothing to lose in the sense it wasn’t costing the taxpayer anything to have given them extensions. The councillor said the silver lining to the Plasco deal falling through is the city will now get to pick a new leading technology as an alternative. He said using incinerators to burn residential garbage was an option that was still on the table, but that it is an expensive way to dispose of waste. The city’s landfill still has more than 20 years left of capacity, but the city plans to explore other options and will likely pick an alternative in early 2016, Chernoshenko

said. A spokesman for Plasco confirmed the company has let go 80 employees and that they will get paid a month’s salary along with any vacation pay owed to them.

The 25 remaining employees will be part of a restructuring, led by Randall Benson of KPMG. Plasco now has 30 days to restructure under the province’s Companies’ Creditors Ar-

rangement Act, but that deadline will likely be extended as long as the company can prove it is actively working towards a solution. With files from Laura Mueller

Winning over the anti-vaxxers

hen my first child was born a decade ago, I hinted to my doctor that vaccines may be dangerous. She gave me some books to read and told me to make a decision. Her message was clear: “If you’re anti-vaccine, I can no longer be your doctor.” In other words, she armed me with facts and gave me an ultimatum. And it worked. Fast forward to today and I am informed, I have three children and I am very strongly pro-vaccination. With the recent outbreaks of measles – totally preventable – across North America, I’ve hit social media with my pro-vaccination guns blazing. The truth is, however, my attempt to sway the 20 per cent or so of misinformed anti-vaxxer parents in Canada through criticism and bullying is completely ineffective. With the extremists among them, it may even have the opposite effect, say health experts. “The more people talk about vaccines and try to convince people like that that vaccines are safe, actually the less they believe they’re safe,” Dr. Natasha Crowcroft of Ontario Public Health told the CBC earlier this month. “It’s a difficult line to tread. It’s a very nuanced discussion.” When it comes to persuading

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse anti-vaxxers, experts, including family physicians, Ottawa Public Health and the Canadian Pediatric Society are calling for patience and understanding. We have to continue to battle misinformation with fact, but in a way that shows we are listening to the anti-vaxxers’ concerns, despite the groundlessness of them. So here’s a fact: Vaccines do not cause autism. There is no co-relation between vaccines and autism. A huge proportion of the current anti-vaxxer wave was born out of the media frenzy around a fraudulent study by a British doctor in the late 1990s, who was subsequently stripped of his medical licence and criminally charged. Scientists’ attempts to reproduce the original study have failed. There isn’t a single legitimate study out there that has ever noted a link between vaccines and autism. Fact two: It’s better to get the vaccine than expose your child and others to the disease. An Ottawa home daycare came under fire for announcing they were anti-vaccine. The family went

on record to say they believed children should build up their immunity naturally, rather than through vaccines. As Ottawa Public Health responded, this is horribly untrue. Measles is highly contagious, can be deadly and would rip through an unvaccinated lot like wildfire, as recent outbreaks have demonstrated. The choice to test this dangerous theory on your own kids makes others highly vulnerable. A woman in the Toronto area knows this firsthand. After visiting a clinic with her 15day-old baby – too young for a vaccination – in early February, she received a call to say that he may have been exposed to measles. She has to wait, under quarantine, for 21 days to find out if her newborn baby will get sick. Vaccines are there to protect our collective health, not to line the pockets of pharmaceutical executives. As Canada’s Health Minister Rona Ambrose said in a news conference on Feb. 10, vaccinations are a miracle of modern medicine that have saved millions of lives. People who believe in the big pharma conspiracy should look overseas to Africa, where people without access to malaria vaccines die daily. If you don’t want to look abroad, look at history. Think it’s better to risk your

kids getting polio rather than a vaccine? In the 1950s, before the polio vaccine was discovered and widely administered in Canada, it wasn’t unusual for polio outbreaks to occur. What does polio do? It attacks the nervous system, especially those of children and either kills them or, perhaps worse, cripples them for life. Vaccines require a critical mass to be effective. There will always be children that can’t get vaccines due to health problems, and those for whom the vaccines are ineffective. It’s up to those of us who are healthy and able to get the vaccines so we can prevent the disease from appearing at all and protect ourselves and our neighbours. Ontario will not allow unvaccinated children to attend public school, unless their parents apply for an exemption on medical or religious grounds. Only two per cent have done that. Some anti-vaxxers are outraged and say it is against their civil rights. But here’s the thing. If you want to live in society, you need to think outside of you. That’s your civic duty. When you drive on public highways, you use a car with brakes because brakes save lives. When you live with others, send your kids to public school and see doctors in public clinics, you vaccinate your kids because vaccines save lives.

AIDS Committee of Ottawa opens new home Steph Willems

Politicians joined members of the AIDS Committee of Ottawa to cut the ribbon on the organization’s new Main Street headquarters on Feb. 9. From left, Ottawa-Orleans MPP Marie-France Lalonde, Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi, Ottawa mayor Jim Watson, Capital Coun. David Chernushenko, ‘Mr. Plow 2014’ Michael LaFramboise, ACO board chair Gord Asmus, and ACO executive director Khaled Salam.

Those individuals living with HIV/AIDS have a new home where they can gather, comfort one another and lead the fight against the preventable illness. The AIDS Committee of Ottawa cut the ribbon on its new location on Feb. 9, opening a new chapter in the organization’s long history of advocacy and outreach. Located at 19 Main St., almost adjacent to the Rideau Canal, the two-storey, 650square-metre centre has actually been in operation since December, replacing the previous downtown location. The Feb. 9 open house gave politicians a chance to tour the space and learn more about the services available within. The AIDS committee has signed a five-year lease on the building.

For Khaled Salam, executive director of committee, the journey to finding a new space was “a long and arduous road that unfolded over two years, with a few hurdles along the way.” “As an organization, we have finally found a space that our community can be proud of and call their own,” said Salam. “(This) space that will allow us to enhance our currently existing services and programs, and expand and grow as an organization through community engagement and community development,” Salam said “Having our own two-level building with our own lot, as opposed to previously being in a multi-tenant situation ... gives us a lot of creative freedom, opportunities, and tremendous programming potential.” This fall will mark the 30th year of the AIDS Committee of Ottawa, and the organization’s

board of directors are currently crafting a five-year strategic plan. The new space will impact what direction the committee plans to take, and what its priorities will be during that time, said Salam. The space features a supportive, welcoming living room on the ground floor “that feels like home,” said Salam, while the second floor space will allow the organization to expand its administrative capacities. “I’m excited about the road ahead for our organization, and I passionately feel that the best is yet to come for ACO. Stay tuned, folks,” Salam told the assembled crowd. The open house coincided with the launch of Snowblower2015, ACO’s annual gay men’s health and wellness festival.

Conservation authority ups budget to cover big projects Britannia flood control measures set to receive cash this year Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority has tabled a budget 23 per cent higher than last year’s to fund a busy year full of capital projects and community programs. The 2015 work plan has a budget of $10.7 million, up from $8.7 million in 2014. The increase is largely due to three capital projects on the books to get done this year, including the Britannia Flood Control Project in the city’s north end. The other two projects are located in Perth and Smiths Falls. Flooding in the Britannia neighbourhood along the Ottawa River has been a longstanding problem for the Bay

Ward community, but the current flood control measures only protect homes against a 1-in-25-years flood. The city-funded project would strengthen the current berm to outlast a 1-in-100years flood, said RVCA general manager Sommer Casgrain-Robertson. “It will be high enough that if we get the 1:100 flood event, that berm wouldn’t be overtopped,” she said. The last time the community experienced a major flood was in 1979, which saw water levels peak at 60.26 metres above sea level. The berms and sea wall installed in 1981 can protect against water levels of 60.4 metres, but the authority puts a 1:100 year flood in Britannia at 60.8 metres. “That was way to easy!”

The project is a partnership between the city and RVCA staff, Casgrain-Robertson said. While it’s included in the conservation authority’s budget, the money will come from the city’s 2015 budget. A project proposal in 2011 put the total cost at about $650,000. The city will also cover most of the RVCA’s increased costs for ice-breaking in the downtown core, which last year cost $1.2 million. This year the RVCA will contribute $100,000 that they’ll receive from the province, and the city will cover the rest. Casgrain-Robertson said ice breaking is an unpredictable cost. “It’s very weather based,” she said. “It’s kind of like snow removal: you budget for

it but you don’t know what you’ll need.” The long, cold winters of the past few years have made it trickier to get through the ice, pushing costs up at the same time. But it has to get done. “Its preventative,” she said. “The last thing you want in a built-up urban environment is flooding.” Cash for stewardship programs like tree planting and shoreline naturalization is also going up. Casgrain-Robertson said those types of programs are incresasingly trendy, and as such are becoming more

cost-effective for property owners as more external funding partners come on board. The authority’s private land forestry program alone is going to jump nearly $200,000 this year from $563,000 in 2014 to $758,000 in 2015, Casgrain-Robertson said. Other projects and programs on the books for 2015 include: the conclusion of an algae monitoring program funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation, completion of flood mapping from Kars to Rideau Falls, modernization of the RVCA’s record

management system, preparation for the decommissioning of the Heart’s Desire weir in Barrhaven, new equipment and programs for Baxter and Foley Mountain conservation areas, and continued leadership in the Thin Soils Working Group to address groundwater issues related to new developments on private services, including assisting the city to update its hydrogeology guideline. The draft budget has been sent to the RVCA’s 18 member municipalities and is accepting feedback until its annual general meeting on Feb. 26.

Asparagus-stuffed chicken breasts elegant, easy recipe Serve this easy but elegant recipe with a green salad or potatoes and maple carrots for a special spring celebration. Preparation time: 25 minutes. Baking time: 25 to 30 minutes. Broiling time: two to three minutes. Serves four. Ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts • 25 ml (2 tbsp) Dijon mustard • 25 ml (2 tbsp) chopped fresh tarragon • Salt and pepper • 4 slices provolone cheese • 16 asparagus spears, trimmed (about 250 g/8 oz) • 25 ml (2 tbsp) butter, melted • 50 ml (1/4 cup) fresh whole wheat bread crumbs

Preparation

Place the chicken between a couple pieces of waxed paper and pound with a mallet to flatten to five millimetres (1/4inch) thickness. Combine the mustard, tarragon, and salt and pepper to taste, and spread evenly over the rough side of each chicken breast. Top each with a cheese slice and four asparagus

spears. Roll up the chicken, letting asparagus protrude on both ends, and secure with toothpicks. Place the rolls, seam-side down, on a parchment paperlined baking sheet. Brush with a little of the butter. Toss the bread crumbs with the remaining butter and pat the mixture onto stuffed breasts.  Sprinkle with pepper to taste. Bake in a 200 C (400 F) oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until juices run clear when the chicken is pierced. Broil for two to three minutes to brown the topping, if desired. Remove toothpicks and slice to serve. Tip: Allow toothpicks to protrude on side of stuffed chicken for easy removal after baking. Foodland Ontario

No ordinary Sunday service thanks to Herman

here was a lot to grab my attention in church every Sunday, and it wasn’t always what the minister had to say from the pulpit. If the truth be known, I had trouble trying to figure out what he was talking about, as he flailed around pounding his bible on the rail. I was much more interested in waiting to see the well worn black book go flying into the congregation, which I was sure would happen. It would just be a matter of time. And then there was his wife, who Mother said was a pure angel. She sat ram-rod straight, and my brother Emerson said the whole place could blow up and he doubted if she would blink an eyelash. I would spend many minutes waiting for any movement from her, which never came. Of course, I was keenly interested in seeing what the girls I went to school with had worn to church. And so that cut a fair bit of time out of the church service too. If one wore a new hat (even very young

MARY COOK Memories girls wore hats to church) I looked at it with envy, and I was reasonable sure I was committing a mortal sin by doing so, and was right up there with stealing pennies off the collection plate. And then there was old Herman. He sat by the east window, and I spent many minutes staring at his very bald head. It had a glow to it, which my brother Emerson said got that way because he rubbed it with goose grease before he came to church. My sister Audrey said that was pure nonsense. Goose grease was for shining your boots, not to be wasted putting a shine to a bald head. Some Sundays I couldn’t take my eyes off old Herman. He was known to consume a little too much of his homemade brew on a Satur-

day night, and it wasn’t unusual for him to come to church the worse for wear. He would be alright when the church service was just beginning, but with the hot sun beating on his bald head, the old stove belting out heat, and the droning of the minister, it didn’t take long for old Herman to drop his head to his chest. And every few minutes he would waken and snap his head up, only to lose consciousness again seconds later. Well, one Sunday there was someone else in old Herman’s seat. And yet, it looked like old Herman: same bulbed nose, half-shut eyes, but the shiny head was gone. What was on his head looked very much like a tight hat of fine brown straw, and I wasn’t the only one glued to old Herman. Every eye in church was on him. Emerson started to laugh until Mother gave him a poke. I thought even the minister paused on his way up to the front of the church leading the choir, as his eyes fell on the sight in Herman’s pew.

Audrey said, “Of course it’s Herman. He’s gotten himself a wig.” I had never seen a wig in the Northcote area before. Well, the service went on, and I lost interest in looking for new hats, and keeping a close eye on the Minister’s wife – my sight was glued to old Herman. That Sunday, we could have gotten along without the heat from the old stove, because the sun was pouring in through the east window, and of course, right onto Herman. I don’t think the minister was into his sermon five minutes when old Herman’s head fell to his chest. That in itself was not unusual. What wasn’t expected was what happened to the wig. It fell over his eyes with his first head-drop, and stayed there. It sat on his nose completely blocking his vision. With the curved seats in the pews it was impossible not to see what was happening. The minister’s voice got louder and louder. And it wasn’t until the organist pumped her feet on the two felt pedals with force and

brought her hands down with a bang on the keys to start a hymn that old Herman came to. Of course, he couldn’t see a thing. The wig covered the front of his bald head right down to the tip of his nose. That in itself was enough to startle the whole church, but what it did to Herman was something to behold. He must have forgotten for the moment that he was wearing a wig, because he was blinded by it, and yelled in a voice that could be heard in the United Church down the road. “Where am I? What’s goin on?” Mr. Kallies, sitting right behind him, grabbed the back edge of the wig and righted it, allowing Herman to realize where he was. His face turned beet red, he grabbed the wig, crammed it in his pocket, and bolted. He didn’t even wait for the collection plate to be passed. As always at the Lutheran Church, after the service, people mingled at the back and had their visit. Not a word was mentioned about the wig or old Herman, but on the way home in the double cutter, my brother Emerson said the church service that day was as good as going to the picture show in Renfrew on a Saturday night.

Ottawa’s #1 Ranked Soccer Club N e w w h i t e c a p Da r i o co N t e l at e s t o s U p l aye r to j o i N p ro ac a D e m y Following in the footsteps of former teammates Kris Twardek and Vana Markarian, Dario Conte has become the third Ottawa South Unitedbrewed player to join a professional soccer club academy from an exceptional group of groundbreaking 1997-born boys. It’s been an intense but exciting transition to a new life for Conte, one of two new players to join the Vancouver Whitecaps under-18 Major League Soccer academy in late January. “It’s not so bad because I got welcomed by my friend from my old team,” Conte says of fellow OSU alum Vana Markarian, who joined the Whitecaps last winter. “He’s showing me the ropes right now.” OSU Club Head Coach Paul Harris arranged a trial for Conte with Vancouver, and early in 2015, he was asked to join the Whitecaps. Conte previously had trials with a number of other pro clubs and always received positive feedback, although an offer would not follow. “Dario displayed tremendous determination throughout those challenges, and we’re very pleased to see him rewarded with this opportunity,” Harris underlines. “For all our young players, this is a great example of what can happen when you believe in yourself and never give up.” The experience from earlier trials served as valuable preparation for the Whitecaps audition, notes Conte, who found the initial rejections both discouraging and motivating. “You’re sad that you didn’t make the team, but then again, you want to show that you can make a pro team and that you’re persistent enough and good enough to do something,” explains the slick attacking midfielder. “You just keep going and keep pushing. It’s really about internal drive.” Conte is the latest member of the storied Force 1997 boys’ group to join a pro club, along with Markarian and Twardek, a member of Millwall FC’s academy in London, UK. All three were part of the first Ontario Youth Soccer League-champion squad from Eastern Ontario in 2013. “It’s certainly a rarity, if not a first, that three players from one team in Ottawa, a single age group, move on to join professional clubs,” Harris signals. “We’re very proud to see them move on, and we look forward to even more of our players reaching these high levels in the future.”

Nepean ground zero for PC party leadership debate Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

And then there were three. The remaining candidates to replace Tim Hudak as leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservatives - MPP Christine Elliott, MP Patrick Brown and MPP Monte McNaughton - sparred in a debate at Algonquin College on Feb. 11 over how the party can move forward after a fourth consecutive election defeat. Hudak’s pledge to cut 100,000 public sector jobs in the last campaign received a lot of blame from critics as to why the PCs failed to beat Pre-

mier Kathleen Wynne’s Liberals in May. Many party members and MPPs claimed they were blindsided by Hudak’s policy announcement. Brown and McNaughton have said they are willing to allow every member to vote on party policy in advance of elections to weed out bad ideas. “We need to do a better job of listening to all our members and stakeholders,” Brown said. Elliott said she would rather have an elected body within the membership to vet policy ideas. Brown said the party needs to do the work to boost its dwindling membership, which once boasted as

many as 100,000 members, but now has 10,000. Brown, who was the only candidate able to answer a question in French, pointed out the fact the party has had a lack of campaign literature for francophone Ontarians. Elliott said the party needs to build “a big blue tent” and do a better job at reaching out to women, young people and new Canadians. Candidates also sparred over the province’s wind farm contracts. McNaughton pledged to enact legislation to scrap the province’s wind contracts. Elliott called for a moratorium on further wind farms, but said decommissioning existing turbines would set a dangerous precedent that would not make the province attractive to investors. “We cannot rip them up,” Eillott said of existing contracts. “No one will want to invest in Ontario.” McNaughton and Brown voiced their opposition to Wynne’s new policy to teach sex education to Grade 1 students, while Elliott demanded more transparency from the premier as to the contents of the policy – which is yet to be fully released. McNaughton, whose list of supporters includes former Toronto mayor Rob Ford, has claimed he is the only real “blue Tory” in the race, positioning himself to push his more moderate counterparts to the right. “We don’t need a second Liberal party in the province of Ontario,” he said. McNaughton questioned Brown’s commitment to the provincial party and asked him if he would run for provincial office if he did not win the party’s leadership. Brown sidestepped the question by saying he would continue to serve the “conservative movement,” in any way he could. “Regardless of what happens in this leadership (race), I will work hard for the party,” Brown said. As is common in leadership debates, there were many issues the candidates agreed upon, from pledges to balance the budget through cuts to promises to roll back a number of Premier Kathleen Wynne’s policies, such as the Ontario pension plan and a proposed carbon tax. The crowd of candidates was whittled down to the three after Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod and MPP Vic Fideli bowed out of the race last week and threw their weight behind Elliott. After two more debates, the party’s membership will vote for their new leader, who will be announced May 9.

Max Keeping Foundation to close, new fund to be created by CHEO Former news broadcaster suffers health setback, unable to attend announcement Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The Max Keeping Foundation, which has helped more than 6,000 families since it was created 21 years ago, is winding down and will close by mid-summer of this year. “We are no longer accepting requests for funding or granting donations,” Dave Ready, chairman of the foundation’s board of directors, said at a press conference at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario on Feb. 11. “We have honoured all of our commitments to date.” When Ready announced that Keeping, a retired veteran news broadcaster who founded the charitable organization, was unable to attend the announcement at CHEO due to a health setback, there was a palpable sense of disappointment among those who gathered for the event, which included Keeping’s family, foundation and hospital staff and other community leaders. Keeping, 72, is suffering from an untreatable form of colorectal cancer, and it has been widely reported that he is now unable to verbally communicate due to his illness. The remaining $150,000 in the foundation’s annuity fund was presented in the form of a giant cheque to the CHEO Foundation for the creation of the Max Keeping Fund for Kids. Several factors went into the

decision to close the Max Keeping Foundation, including that many needs in the community are being supported through other organizations and programs, such as Canadian Tire’s Jumpstart program and the Ottawa Senators Foundation, Ready said. With the creation of the new fund in Keeping’s name, the chairman said the broadcaster’s legacy will live on. Keeping has long been associated with the regional children’s hospital since it opened in 1974; 12 years ago, a wing at the hospital was named after the former CTV News anchor and longtime community volunteer. “Today really is a start to a whole new relationship and adds to the great legacy that Max Keeping has built with the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario,” said Kevin Keohane, president and chief executive officer of the CHEO Foundation. “And Max will be associated with CHEO until the doors of this hospital close, and while the building may change – there will be different buildings and new buildings – there will forever be a Max Keeping Fund for Kids. “One day, this building will be replaced with a new and more modern facility,” Keohane said, adding that the new fund “will endure forever and Max’s legacy with CHEO will live on through that for as long as there are children

and young families with needs in our community.” The new fund will help cover the cost of meals, travel and accommodation expenses for families of CHEO patients that live outside Ottawa, and help with travel and accommodation expenses when they must go outside Ottawa to receive specialized medical care in other cities. It will also assist patient families unable to afford specialized medical equipment, such as hearing devices, walkers, wheelchairs, wheelchair ramps and helmets that must be worn after surgery. Ryan Williams, a former CHEO patient who was born with a rare blood vessel disorder that required him to undergo 55 surgeries, was named as a CHEO Champion Child in 2001. He remembers travelling with Keeping to Florida where they spent the day with children from other hospitals. Not long after that trip, Keeping began helping Williams with his own efforts to raise funds to pay for a medical procedure in Boston, Mass. “Needless to say, without his guidance and support, we would not have accomplished what we did,” said Williams, a Kanata resident, adding that his golf tournament in its first year raised $7,000. And 10 years later, it was generating almost $80,000. “That kind of shows you what he taught us and how he

helped bring us together to bring the community together,” Williams said. Keeping established his foundation in 1995 to help financially disadvantaged children, youth and families. At the time, the newsman was receiving numerous calls at the news station from families requiring financial help to cover recreational, athletic and health costs for their children. Keeping was paying for those out of his own pocket. “The number of requests – he just couldn’t keep up with the demand,” Ready said. Over the years, the Max Keeping Foundation has supported educational grants and allowed for the creation of inner-city playgrounds, among other projects. “I can’t think of anyone else who has had a 40-year run where if you just say the name Max in this city, you know who it is,” Keohane said. The $150,000 contribution to the new Max Keeping Fund for Kids “is a seed that Max and his foundation are planting today,” he said. As the fund grows in the coming years, 80 per cent of the interest from the endowment fund will go to help kids in need. The other 20 per cent will remain in the fund. Donations to the Max Keeping Fund for Kids can be made by going online to cheofoundation.com.

BUDGET TIME AT OCDSB - I NEED YOUR INPUT! This is the time of year when I ask for your input into the development of the annual budget for the next school year (2015-2016). I look forward to discussions and debate with my fellow Trustees and senior staff. I will work on your behalf to improve our efforts to provide access to quality public education for all children, and to close the gaps in achievement and well being based on gender, special needs, English language skills, First Nation/Inuit/Metis status, and poverty. We will face challenges and threats, especially from the Ontario Government that has given notice that it will be looking for savings in education funding. In the Spring, we expect to have greater clarity on the amount of provincial funding we will receive. The strength and diversity of our Board of Trustees and the engagement of all of our stakeholders will help ensure that our focus is always on the students that we educate and nurture, even in difficult times. You can help me represent you well during the budget discussions by answering the following questions: 1. Can you identify three opportunities for investment that would support student achievement and well-being at OCDSB? 2. Can you identify three opportunities or changes that could generate savings? 3. Our Strategic Plan includes four key priority areas: well-being, engagement, leadership and learning. In your opinion, does one of these priority areas require more attention at this time?

Queensway Terrace North enjoys some winter fun Daniel Katz

Daniel Katz/Submitted

Ellis Bissonnette, 12, left, Ally Dufeu, 12, and Madeline Faulds, 8, go for a ride down the toboggan hill at the Queensway Terrace North annual Winter Carnival on Feb. 8.

Frigid temperatures didn’t keep residents of Queensway Terrace North from enjoying some outdoor Canadian winter fun. The Queensway Terrace North annual winter carnival took place at Frank Ryan Park on Feb. 8 and saw around 200 people enjoy free horsedrawn sleigh rides, a bonfire and marshmallow roasting, a toboggan hill, music, hot chocolate, hot dogs, taffy, popcorn, and skating. “The purpose for the carnival is to bring out the community,” said Marc Lugert, the president of the Queensway Terrace North Community Association. “It’s all part of engaging and meeting your neighbours. It’s great to see people coming out on a cold, snowy day and being part of the community experience.”

Want the Real Beauty Benefits of Collagen? BioSil Advanced Collagen Generator ™

Clinical Trial Results

By now you know. Adding body collagen directly reduces wrinkles, increases skin elasticity, and adds vital moisture to your skin. Indirectly, collagen thickens and strengthens your hair. You may also know that collagen production slows by 1% per year after the age of 21. Can you gain it back? Yes. But not by eating collagen. You see, collagen is a protein. When you ingest it, your body breaks it down, like any other protein, and uses it as food. When you want the real beauty benefits of collagen, you have to generate it.

0219.R0013133390

BioSil™ generates collagen by activating the collagen producing cells in your body known as fibroblasts. It is clinically proven to increase collagen formation. In fact, in the clinical trial the women taking BioSil™ reduced wrinkles by 30%, increased skin elasticity by 89% and thickened and strengthened their hair by 13% compared to women not taking BioSil™. So when you want genuine visible results from collagen, generate it, don’t eat it. Experience the beautiful difference for yourself!

Dr. Marita Schauch, BSc ND debunks myths about

collagen “creams,” beauty industry promises and plastic surgery to show you how and why building and generating collagen is an essential component to true health and beauty in her newest book Collagen Myths & Misconceptions.

“At Winterlude, you kind of get lost in the crowd,” said community association member Paul Csagoly. “Here, if you’re new to the neighbourhood you can come and introduce yourself and get to know your neighbours better.” “This kind of festival does a great job of getting the community together,” said Bay Coun. Mark Taylor, whose office supplied free hot chocolate for the event. “Neighbours can come out, have fun, socialize and support their community.” Mary Blakley and her three-year-old daughter Georgia Blakley-Swan attended for the first time since Georgia was old enough to appreciate it. “Georgia really liked the horses. We live in the neighbourhood and it’s nice to come out on a winter day and have some fun,” said Blakley.

Despite the snow and the temperature dropping to below -20 C with the wind chill, an excited crowd of children and parents still came out to enjoy the festivities in the park. “We have been talking about this day since six o’clock this morning,” said Rachel Albert, who was at the carnival with her husband and six-year-old son Ethan. “It’s nice to go on the toboggan hill, take a wagon ride with the horses, and get some hot chocolate. It’s just been an awesome day.” With Winterlude going on downtown, the community association wanted to throw a party for the neighbourhood that would let residents meet each other and strengthen the bonds of the community, which is situated north of the Queensway, south of Carling Avenue, east of Pinecrest and west of the Transitway

Nordstrom offers sneak peek ahead of Ottawa opening New two-floor outlet at Rideau Centre set to employ more than 600 people Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

An espresso bar, restaurant, personal shoppers, in-store tailoring, plus thousands of clothing items, shoes and accessories will soon be unveiled with the March 6 opening of Nordstrom at the Rideau Centre. Nordstrom is looking to earn the business of Ottawa shoppers “one customer at a time,” said John Bailey, company spokesman, after joining Nordstrom Ottawa store manager John Banks in leading Rideau Centre staff and media on a tour of the premises on Feb. 12. “As a company, before we even opened our stores, we spent a lot of time coming to Canada to learn as much as we could about the communities in which we were opening stores,” he said. “In fact, our buyers have

been making regular trips ahead of our openings to see what people are wearing, what brands are out there, what our competition is doing, as a means to make their best guess as to the kind of merchandise they might think people in Ottawa might want to purchase from us.” But until the store opens its doors on Friday, March 6, at 9:30 a.m., Nordstrom staff won’t know what they’ve gotten right, he said. “We’ve been doing a lot of listening and learning,” Bailey said, adding that process will continue. As Bailey and Banks led the group on a walkabout tour of the two-level store that encompasses 14,600 square metres of space, workers buzzed about putting the finishing touches on the floor and display areas. See RESTAURANTS, page 40

Evan McHardy, a barista at Nordstrom’s espresso bar, works with his team on Feb. 12. When the store opens at the Rideau Centre on March 6, Nordstrom will offer two food and beverage services, including the coffee bar and a restaurant that features an outdoor patio.

Ottawa schools to raise $7M through solar panels 37 Ottawa schools rent their roofs to one solar power company alex.robinson@metroland.com

A few dozen Ottawa public schools are set to raise $7 million over the next 20 years by housing solar panels on their roofs. Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli, who serves as energy minister, swung through Mary Honeywell Elementary School in Nepean on Feb. 10 to hail renewable energy and to announce the savings to students, faculty and trustees. Mary Honeywell is one of 37 schools in Ottawa that rents out its roof to a solar panel company called Potentia Solar Inc. The school’s more than 650 panels have raked in $14,400 in rental fees every year for Ottawa’s public school board. Since the program started in 2011, Potentia has amassed more than $648,000 in net revenues from

the electricity produced on Ottawa public schools’ rooftops. “The cost of wind turbines and solar facilities has come down dramatically,” Chiarelli told reporters after his presentation. “There are a lot of jurisdictions now where the cost of solar and wind turbines are on par with gas generation or hydro generation and its going to continue to come down. “It’s also a tremendous economic generator,” he added. Chiarelli explained to students the province has been introducing renewable energy and phasing out “dirty coal that was getting people sick.” “We made a policy decision to get rid of cheap dirty coal that was making people sick for somewhat more expensive energy,” Chiarelli told reporters after his presentation. “That was the trade off we made and I don’t make any excuses for

that.” Chiarelli’s presentation included a video that showed students pictures of the panels on their roof for the first time. “There is a nice direct tie in for us that are going to be more personal for the children now that they’ve seen this presentation,” said Mary Honeywell principal Kim Power. “I think seeing the video with the pictures of the panels on our roof is going to really bring it home for them.” Power said the program has been more than just a source of revenue, as the panels have served as an educational prompt to help teach students about renewable energy. “It goes with an overall environmentally friendly message the school has,” she said. “Knowing that we have this great resource on our roof ties into that and reinforces the message.”

University of Ottawa associate prof named to Order of Ontario ‘Individuals like Sylvie Lamoureux show us what is possible when passion meets perseverance’ Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

Orléans resident and University of Ottawa associate professor Sylvie Lamoureux accepted the Order of Ontario during a ceremony at Toronto’s Queen’s Park on Feb. 3.

Lamoureux was recognized for her work surrounding French education, specifically non-Québécois francophones through their post-secondary studies. “My research is on the student experience through, and to, post-secondary education,” she

said. “I’m looking at francophones who are from outside Quebec primarily.” Lamoureux, a bilingual francophone, works at the Official Languages and Bilingualism Institute at the university with both undergraduate and graduate students. Student research assistants who have helped Lamoureux with her work went on to nominate her for the award – considered the province’s highest honour. She said the students have felt the impact of the research on their own academic lives. “I could not think of a higher recognition than having my students put my name forth,” she said. “It just means everything to me.” Lamoureux has worked with senior administration at the university since 2010 to implement and evaluate recommendations stemming from her research into francophone students studying as a minority. Most universities outside Quebec are minority environ-

ments for francophones, she said. “That’s what makes it quite exciting is to see students benefitting from these initiatives,” she said. “I’m extremely lucky to work at an institution that values my research and is open to applying it.” She said the award recognizes not only the value of her work, but the work of everyone who contributed to the studies. Lamoureux was one of 26 Ontarians awarded the Order of Ontario. “Individuals like Sylvie Lamoureux show us what is possible when passion meets perseverance,” said Ottawa-Orléans MPP Marie-France Lalonde in a press release. “They remind us how much impact one person can have and they inspire each of us to strive for excellence in our own lives.” Other winners included writer and lecturer John Ralston Saul, former executive director of the Canadian branch of Doctors Without Borders Marilyn McHarg, and Canadian astronaut David Williams. Hockey legend Paul Henderson, who has been battling cancer, also attended to receive the Order of Ontario given to him in 2013.

Local death metal band robbed in Montreal Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Ottawa-based death metal band Killitorous were hoping to finish off their Ontario and Quebec tour with a bang, but they didn’t expect the sound would come from their van being broken into. The band, made up of members from Kanata, Nepean, Manotick, Cornwall and Quebec, were waiting to play their final show of the tour at Montréal’s Piranha Bar on St. Catherine St. West on Jan. 24, said the band’s guitarist, Aaron Homma from Bridlewood. “The tour manager made it very clear to not leave the van unattended,” he said. Killitorous had taken precautions, with the band members trading shifts so someone could watch the van, and were in the process of switching lookouts when it happened, said Homma.

Homma was having a bite to eat a few minutes before going on stage when other members of the band informed him they had been robbed. “I went out there and we just started documenting it and realizing what we had lost and what had been broken,” he said. In the 10 minutes or so that the van had been left unguarded, the passenger side window had been broken, the windshield cracked, and several bags of gear, personal computers and a chunk of the band’s profits from the tour, had been stolen. “People kept coming up to me and telling me, ‘Oh we lost this too,’” said Homma. Their instruments, however, were safe, having been removed from the van before the robbery. Homma estimates that $3,000 to $4,000 of property was damaged or stolen.

“They just kind of robbed us really blind,” he said. Though Killitorous’ band members never expected this to happen to them, they have heard “horror stories” of band vehicles, often with out-ofprovince licence plates, being targeted in Montreal, said Homma. Based on what other bands have told him, he said, “This is a pretty common occurrence in Montreal.” Thieves go after band vans from out of town because there is bound to be something expensive to steal, and the band has to leave immediately after their show, making it more difficult to follow up with a police report, said Homma. In this case, he said thieves must have been watching and waiting for the van to be unattended. See FANS, page 35
