Province, city pool cash for Britannia, Belltown shoreline improvements Steph Willems
steph.willems@metroland.com
Community - A longstanding problem in Ottawa’s west end is a large step closer to being solved after a Feb. 14 funding announcement made by city and provincial officials. Funds totalling $1.32 million were pledged towards alleviating the threat of flooding in the low-lying neighbourhoods of Belltown and Britannia Village. The announcement, made at the Britannia Yacht Club, follows years of stop-and-go action on the issue from residents and politicans. The province will be providing $650,000 towards the project, a sum that includes mapping and risk identification studies, while the city will contribute $670,000, a number that includes $195,000 pledged by Britannia Village residents. “(This) will lead not just to enhanced safety, but also to more flexible property options,” said Bay Coun. Mark Taylor. See PROJECT, page 12

Students from General Vanier Public School’s King Kids Club sing at the launch of Ottawa’s seventh annual Kindness Week at the Accora Centre on Feb. 14.
Celebrating kindness in the capital Steph Willems
steph.willems@metroland.com
News - Students, community members and even politicians were on their best behavior during the launch of Kindness Week on Feb. 14. Kicking off at the Accora Centre, the growing annual initiative saw hosting duties fall on the Caring and Sharing Exchange, with help from
founding partner United Way Ottawa and Ferguslea Properties. Now in its seventh year, this year’s Kindness Week focused on teachers, with dozens of educators expected to be honoured, based on kindness rankings performed by local school boards. With Teacher Recognition Day falling on Feb. 19, students were encouraged to thank a teacher who has made
a difference in their lives. A group of 39 students from General Vanier Public School was on hand to show what kids can do to bring positive change to their schools and communities. As members of the Kind Kids Club, the students spent the past several weeks doing good deeds – saying hello, tying another student’s boots, making cards for a seniors’ lunch club and
creating decorations for the school’s upcoming 50th anniversary. Bay Coun. Mark Taylor referenced the friendliness he has experienced from residents in Accora Village during his opening remarks at the launch. The Kind Kids Club, said Taylor, was an inspiration to others in the room. See MANTRA, page 34

Be alert to warning signs of an eating disorder
Action for Seniors
News - Everyday desires to look good and be in shape can slip into problem thoughts and behaviours. Here are some signs to look out for: • Excessive concern about weight, shape and calories.
to help them. • Find out what services are available in your area by calling the National Eating Disorder Information Centre. • Be patient and compassionate. Overcoming food and weight issues takes time and courage.
How you can help: • Learn as much as possible about eating disorders - the more you know, the more you can help someone. • Let the person know that you are concerned and are there
• Guilt, shame or secrecy about eating. • Feeling fat regardless of body-size. • Weight, shape and food control determining how a person feels about their worth.
News Canada
Friends, Ontario’s landscape is changing as a result of an aging population. Over the next two decades, the number of seniors in North America is projected to more than double. Since becoming Premier, Kathleen Wynne has been a vocal advocate for seniors and has made keeping seniors healthy and in their homes longer a priority for our government. Last month marked the first anniversary of Ontario’s Action Plan for Seniors. Through the Action Plan, our government is addressing the challenges and opportunities of an aging population. We introduced the Ontario Seniors Grant to give more seniors the opportunity to participate in their community. We have also released the Age-Friendly Community Planning Guide to help seniors stay connected to their community by creating environments that support independent and active living.
Through the Retirement Homes Act our government is taking strong action to protect seniors living in retirement homes. Over the past year, new requirements came into effect, including additional annual staff training, a formal complaints process, police background checks for retirement home staff and volunteers, and mandatory extra expense insurance for retirement homes to ensure coverage of residents’ accommodation and care costs during most emergencies. Responsibility for Elderly Persons Centres, which provide social and recreational programs that promote wellness for seniors, will be transferred April 1st from the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care to the Ontario Seniors Secretariat. Elderly Persons Centres will benefit from the close relationship they share with the Seniors Secretariat. The Secretariat will work with Elderly Persons Centres in helping to connect seniors with their communities. Our government continues to work with municipalities, seniors’ organizations, and other community partners to help ensure the programs and services available address seniors’ needs and reach the people who need them. This spring we will also be enhancing our driver’s licence renewal program for drivers aged 80 and over. No longer will drivers over 80 be required to complete a written knowledge test. Instead they will participate in a shorter, simpler program that includes an improved in-class group education session and two short, in-class screening exercises. The new process will take less than half the time of the current program. Together, we are making a real difference for people in our community. As always, please do not hesitate to contact my constituency office at 613-721-8075 or bob@bobchiarelli. com with any questions or comments you may have.

Through the development of the Finding Your Way program, the first of its kind in Canada and developed in partnership with the Alzheimer Society of Ontario, the provincial government is helping people with Alzheimer’s disease who live at home. This program will also help families and caregivers, and people who may encounter someone with dementia to recognize and reduce the risk of that individual going missing.

Fix coming for troublesome Westboro intersection Roosevelt-Byron crossing the site of numerous accidents, multiple complaints Steph Willems
steph.willems@metroland.com
Ottawa Valley Tours
the pedestrian signal and different placement of the Roosevelt stop signs, but accidents and complaints continued. According to Hobbs, full signalization wasn’t realized before due to insufficient traffic numbers. However, after reviewing the last few years, city staff discovered a higher than normal number of traffic incidents at the intersection, plus a high number of pedestrian movements.
TM
“It was too many people to send out into the intersection the way it is now,” said Hobbs. “This gave us the ability to solve this problem.” The work will see the installation of the full, four-way traffic signal, the removal of stop signs, modifications to curb depressions and to pavement markings. As well, vehicles on Danforth and Byron Place will be restricted to right-in/right-out traf-
R0012560105
Community - The city is hoping to end an unsafe situation by modifying a trouble-plagued intersection in Westboro. A comment period is in effect for work that would see roadway modifications take place and new signal lights installed at the intersection of Roosevelt and Byron avenues. The area is problematic, as two other roads – namely Danforth Avenue and Byron Place – empty into Roosevelt on either side of the intersection. Currently, a pedestrian-activated signal light exists for vehicles using Byron, while drivers on Roosevelt
face stop signs. “It’s a longstanding problem,” said Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs. “The main impetus for this has been the myriad of complaints from community associations and notes from residents.” Hobbs added that the work will be considered part of the Churchill Avenue reconstruction project. Currently in its second and final year, that project will see improved pedestrian and cycling infrastructure added to Churchill between Richmond Road and Carling Avenue. Over the years, attempts were made to improve the intersection that included the installation of
fic movements, meaning Danforth vehicles will have to turn towards Richmond. Comments will be accepted from the public until March 4, and information on the project has been posted at a number of locations online. Projects like this one are pre-approved under existing legislation, meaning the city can move forward with it when it wants. However, public notification and a comment period are required before the modifications can get underway.

Grassroots Festival organizers looking forward to big third year Steph Willems
steph.willems@metroland.com
Arts - The producer of the Ottawa Grassroots Festival says he is expecting a “quantum leap” forward this year for the three-day concert and workshop event. Now in its third year, the volunteer-run folk music, dance and spoken word festival aims to grow and highlight local musical talent. Taking place throughout the three floors of Centretown’s Montgomery Legion, the festival
runs April 25-27. “This is going to be a good year -- even better than before,” said producer Bob Nesbitt. “Exciting stuff seems to be happening every day.” Organizers of this year’s festival will have more help in building the event, as the Ottawa Grassroots Festival is now a registered non-profit corporation. This means they now have the ability to deploy crew members to oversee the many different areas of the festival, guided by a board of directors Nesbitt calls “stel-
lar” and a publicity committee he calls “tireless.” Despite the better organization, which has allowed this year’s festival to come together early, Nesbitt stresses it is still a purely volunteer-run event, guided and crafted by individuals who share a passion for music and promoting local talent. “No one gets paid, except for the performers, of course,” said Nesbitt. This year’s festival brings another new element to the table, in the form of a fund-
R0022546730-0213
since 1986
raising concert. Following the festival’s launch at Pressed on Gladstone Avenue on March 5, Laura Smith will take to the stage at the National Arts Centre on March 8. Tickets for that fundraiser are available through ticketmaster.ca or at the Ottawa Folklore Centre. The festival itself will feature headliner James Keelaghan and a host of diverse artists. Entry is free during the day, with workshops planned to appeal to kids and adults alike. A full listing of performers and related information can be found at the festival’s website, ottawagrassrootsfestival.com.

Meet the candidates: Jeff Morrison relations, if you can build strong relations, you can get things done.
Ottawa West News staff
News - Jeff Morrison wants to enhance local engagement. The former president of the Centretown Community Health Centre, president of Gramercy Place condominium board and current director of government relations with the Canadian Pharmacists Association, said he believes he will be able to have stronger conversations and enhancing partnerships for Somerset Ward. Morrison and his partner both live in Centretown and the 43-year-old first moved to Ottawa 24 years ago to attend the University of Ottawa, and has lived downtown for the past 12 years. Q: Why are you running for city council in Somerset Ward? A: Two things: every single person I have talked to, particularly as my role as president of the Centretown Community Health Centre, feels that we are a good community that could be more. I think there is a cry for change and we don’t’ want someone who can change, we want someone who has a track record to make change. I think I have that track record.
passed included measures to mitigate problem gambling. We won that hands down. In December 2013, after a year and a half of lobbying for an expansion of the Centretown Community Health Centre, we got the funding. I don’t just talk about change – I want to make it happen. Q: How are you going to fundraise for your campaign? A: You reach out to friends, family, to supporters, you try to inspire people – and that is already happening and if you can inspire people, that is a great fundraising strategy. Q: Do you have any potential pecuniary interests or a financial or family conflict of interest? A: I don’t think so. For eight years I did work for the Canadian Construction Association and lobbied for billions of dollars for construction in the 2006-2007 budget ... Through that I know a lot of construction leaders, but I think that is a plus to the role of councillor. I think it’s important to have strong partnerships between the two. That is how you get things done. People will want to work with who they trust. I know there are people in Centretown who do not like the development history. I get that, but you need to build trust. You need to build stronger partnerships. And not just with developers, but with the NCC (National Capital Commission), the provincial and the federal governments. With many years of working in government

Q: Detail your past political experience or activism, whether it’s volunteering, campaigning, donations or employment at any level of government or political party. A: In late 2012, I led a campaign to redevelop the Somerset House property. It was getting more and more worn down and our current councillor wasn’t able to get the job done ...Within three months, the owner said enough is enough and settled the lawsuit and the work on that site should start this year. Last year, regarding the downtown casino debate in March, I assembled nine community health centres to say ‘No, it’s wrong.’ That was at a time when nobody was opposing it. Within just a few months, we not only managed to sway the opinion, the final motion that was
LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND
City council candidate Jeff Morrison wants to create a vibrant Somerset Ward.
Q: What do you think the biggest issue was in Somerset Ward this term and how was it handled? What will be the big issue next term? A: Last term the biggest issue was transit. Of course there was a lot of controversy of how it was going to be handled. I think it’s been handed well. This time, I believe its improving the viability of Centretown. That needs to change. The last movie theatre moved out of Centretown –why can’t we have these types of services? I think rather than focusing on the built environment and how can we create a livable environment we need to ask how do we make our current public spaces, like Bank Street, Preston Street, the canal more livable. This stereotype that Ottawa is the city that fun forgot needs to change ... People move downtown because they want the convenience, the amenities and when these services, business, or lack of use of public spaces disappear people become disillusioned. I think this notion of livability and vibrancy is going to be key issue. There are four themes I would like to focus on: partnerships, the notion of vibrancy, try to better engage people and have those discussions on difficult subjects and bring innovations like a bylaw that requires green roofs on certain properties, we need to not just doing things the same things.

News - Long-time Somerset Coun. Diane Holmes will be seeking re-election in this October’s municipal election, vying for the position she first held in 1982 against five registered challengers. Somerset Ward encompasses most of Ottawa’s downtown, from the O-Train line in the west to the Rideau Canal in the east. The ward has increased in size over the years – initially, Holmes oversaw the area from the canal to Bay Street, an area with half the population of the boundaries she serves now. Holmes’ previous political involvement included an unsuccessful run in municipal politics in Halifax in 1977. With the exception of a three year period from 2000 to 2003, Holmes has been the face of Centretown at the council table. The area, not surprisingly, is seeing a number of significant changes – some underway, others proposed – as the city continues its intensification efforts and pushes forward with LRT. Holmes said she wants to see these plans through to the end. “There are so many things
way streets, as well as the possible realignment of Metcalfe Street through property owned by the Museum of Nature, which wants to sell the land back to the city. These changes – the most significant in Centretown since the urban renewal and highway expansion projects of the 1960s and 70s - are presenting challenges to both the city and residents living near ongoing or future construction projects. Among the challenges is the effort to mitigate the effect of detoured Transitway buses during the latter part of the LRT construction. Two community associations, as well as residents living on or near Scott and Albert Streets, are protesting the planned influx of bus traffic. Holmes wants all parties involved – including the NCC and city – to work on removing as many buses as possible to reduce the impact, possibly detouring empty buses onto the John A. Macdonald Parkway. “Right now we’re working with local residents and some planners, coming up with some options,” said Holmes.

“We are expecting some of the buses, of course, to come down Albert, but some of the buses could stay on the parkway … We’ll be giving staff some options to look at and consider.” The main concern for Holmes remains keeping the livability of her ward intact while seeking improvements for residents. In this sense, she sees herself as part of a continuing fight, and welcomes the civic engagement she sees in her ward in the form of municipal candidates. “It’s been a 50-year fight, and we’ll continue to work to keep this a neighbourhood that people want to buy into and stay,” said Holmes. Holmes wants to see continued investment into Centretown’s limited amount of parkland, plus the addition of new street tress to replace those lost to roadway expansion. Work is already underway to refresh certain parks to appeal to and serve the young
families with children who are choosing to live downtown. More social housing space is also needed, she said, pointing out the recent success in turning an empty block of land on Catherine Street into Beaver Barracks - a multiple building, award-winning development.
It’s been a 50-year fight, and we’ll continue to work to keep this a neighbourhood that people want to buy into and stay. SOMERSET COUN. DIANE HOLMES
“It takes provincial and federal money, which happened then, and I’m hoping that out of this infrastructure money comes some housing money out of the federal government, which would bring the province and city partners into the game,” said Holmes.
“We continue to look, we continue to work with the Centretown non-profit housing group, looking for sites.” Section 37 funds from new developments can be put towards social housing, and Holmes said some of these monies are being accumulated to possibly purchase a building for subsidized housing. New and expanded bike lanes, along with areas for parking, are required, said Holmes, as well as the need to secure funding for refreshed library space at the Ottawa Public Library’s main branch on Metcalfe Street. “Even just getting a few million dollars into the present library so that it can be cleaned up, made safer, brighter … with better places for computers, a better coffee shop, so it really is a welcoming place to come downtown (for),” said Holmes. “The cities who have really spent money on their downtown libraries, they have become engines for the community. If you get enough computers in there, with wi-fi, you get a lot of interest.”

Why using a Realtor is important There are many options available to you as a homeowner when it comes to selling your property. The availability of resources to the public has increased over the past few years and selling your home yourself can sound like a great idea when the only thing in consideration is the percentage of commission you may save. The truth is that people who choose to sell their home independently more than often sell their properties for less, so whatever perceived savings they may have had in commission is often lost due to a lower selling price.

City, board earn failing grades
L
ast week the city turned down a request from the Ottawa public school board to build a desperately needed school in Kanata. The board recently secured provincial funding for construction of the school, a process that could best be described as wringing water from a stone, judging by the long list of similar requests in other areas of the city, such as OrlĂŠans, Findlay Creek and Stittsville, communities that are still waiting for a goahead from the province. The money must be used in a limited time frame – in essence a use-it-or-lose-it situation. The city has given the project a big thumbs down, arguing that a school doesn’t belong in an industrial area near companies like Nordion Inc., which creates medical isotopes using radioactive materials. There’s no actual safety concern, but the city is concerned about a backlash from the public based on irrational and groundless public perception. Nordion says it doesn’t want the school as a next door neighbour in case it chooses to expand its business. But is this really a concern the city should seriously entertain? As for the issue of allowing a school in an “in-
dustrial� area, there is precedent, says the board, referring to two schools in Ottawa as well as a French public school in Kingston. The board has already launched an appeal, as the city failed to meet the 120-day deadline to make a decision on zoning applications before the Ontario Municipal Board is allowed to take a hand. The board’s application was filed more than 200 days ago, but the city was forced to delay a decision as it had neglected to inform neighbouring businesses, such as Nordion, about the zoning request. According to Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder, the lines of communication between the public school board and the city are poor at best. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson has been working to fast-track the school at a pre-determined alternate location that is almost fully serviced (i.e. not yet fully serviced), saying it should fit the board’s time frame. The whole situation seems to be a comedy of errors. Whoever is to blame, the board and the city need to improve communication. Both will spend tens of thousands of dollars – taxpayer dollars – on fighting this out at the Ontario Municipal Board, a conflict that could have been defused with the help of a little goodwill and co-ordination.

he big fuss over the 50th anniversary of the Beatles arriving in North America shows you that the Baby Boomers are still very much in control of the news media. Nobody else much cares. The Beatles story way overshadowed another recent anniversary – the 30th birthday of the Macintosh computer – which is of far more interest to a younger generation. By the time the Mac’s 50th comes, the Boomers will be but a memory and the Mac can get all the attention it deserves, providing it hasn’t been replaced by something else, such as a little dot you can paste on your cheek that telephones people, plays movies and does spreadsheets. One of the things that is so striking about all this is how fast current affairs become ancient history. Most of the people who screamed when John, Paul, George and Ringo appeared on the Ed Sullivan show are now getting pensions. They will tell you it happened overnight. Most of the places the Beatles played are now parking lots, or, more likely, parking lots surrounding condos. We like to think that things last, but a lot of things don’t.

Now there is a coffee shop on each of those four corners. And you know what? Someday soon coffee shops will become a memory too. People will say: “Remember 50 years ago when there were coffee shops?� That will be too bad, because the spread of the coffee shop, whether locally or internationally owned, has been one of the more encouraging developments in what is called progress these days. Coffee shops are way better than casinos, for example, much healthier than sports bars, less painful than tattoo parlours, less intrusive than condos. Coffee shops will probably last longer than sports memorabilia shops

did, and probably longer than video rentals, too. But they will not be forever. Coffee will go out of fashion, replaced by some other beverage. Or people may decide, as many seem to be deciding already, that they don’t want to leave the house. They want to stay home and use their own fancy machine to make coffee, or whatever beverage replaces it. Meanwhile, what happens to those former bank buildings now occupied by coffee shops? Some kind of store, you might think, but isn’t it true now that shopping in stores is rapidly being replaced by shopping online (the revival, now that you think about it, of catalogue shopping)? Stores are over. The thing that replaces the coffee shop has to be something people will leave their houses to attend. Games could do the trick – at one point you could get people out of their houses to go bowling or even play miniature golf. But they can do that at home on the Wii now. Same goes for bingo, although I did see what looked like a big game going on in a shopping centre the other day. It could be a restaurant, but there are already too many restaurants. The same goes for bars. Actually, what there are not enough
of are parking lots, but parking lots are decidedly out of fashion among urban planners and civic politicians these days. Maybe they’ll come back. The fact is that we probably won’t recognize what goes there. No one, 50 years ago, knew what a video store was. No one, 30 years ago, knew that people would line up to drink coffee flavoured with vanilla and containing soy milk. That’s why planning for the future is not a walk in the park, as we would advise the new boss of the National Capital Commission, and probably why a lot of us would sooner spend our time thinking about 50 years ago.

Some motherly advice – take it or leave it
I
’m not sure what was going on last May, but there are a lot of babies in our midst. Between friends, family and acquaintances, I know four expected within a week. As any pregnant woman knows, people just love to give advice – most of which I’ve been too stubborn to accept over the years – but I have a few tips for youmoms-to-be. It all starts in that first month – post-delivery. For one precious month, just slow down and do ‘nothing.’ We have images of superwomen in our midst – like the European member of parliament with her baby in a sling, or the corporate woman who returns to work within a month, pumping between meetings – these should not be our aspirations. The Chinese have a tradition they call the Golden
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse Month – believing that mom and baby should just stay connected, and pretty much stay in bed, giving them a chance to bond and wait for mom’s body to recover – and probably a copious amount of time to watch television. If your pregnancy hasn’t already spelled this one out for you – prepare to let go of control. This starts with a baby who’s feeding and sleeping on demand and continues with preschool children who are toilet training, pinching fingers in cabinets and removing her clothing as fast as you’re
putting it on, when you’re in a rush to get out the door. On the down side, this can make us frustrated, angry and feel like failure much of the time. On the flip side, however, children have this marvellous way of making time stand still. And when we take the time with them, offering flexibility in our schedules, choosing to enjoy the 20-minutes sitting on the potty waiting for the “tinkle sound,� and having meaningful conversations, life slows down for us, too, in a marvellous and meaningful way. Let other people help. If
AND SAVE!
you are lucky enough to have friends and relatives nearby, let them visit you and baby on the condition that they stay for short periods – just enough time to fold a load of laundry. And if the baby falls asleep, be assertive and tell them it’s time for you to go lie down too. Resist the urge to stay up, exhausting yourself, making them tea and toast. Exercise can wait. Again with the superwoman theme, we all know these marvellous women who pop out a baby, deflate like a balloon and start working out like hell within a couple of weeks of the delivery. It’s oversold. In the first weeks, rest is the most important element. After that, if you feel like working out don’t train for a marathon or a Tough Mudder, just do some kegels. And that’s you, done your workout for the day!
While this may sound like a contradiction, given the content of this column, I offer this last tidbit of wisdom: shut your ears to all the advice from around you. We have so much access to conflicting information and everybody, from the teenager
can only presume to be the ultimate goal. So it’s best to just ignore everyone. Motherhood is a very personal venture. Allow your instinct to take hold. As long as you’re following safe practices, you get to choose whether to breastfeed or
If your pregnancy hasn’t already spelled this one out for you – prepare to let go of control. across the street to the bachelor that works at the convenience store, has an opinion about how you should feed, sleep and discipline. We live in a time where motherhood has been scrutinized and, in a weird way, professionalized. Despite everyone’s best efforts, however, we have yet to determine how to raise the perfect child, which I
bottle feed, whether to use a stroller or a sling (or both), if the baby sleeps in a cot or in your arms, and whether you play classical music or classic rock to lull baby to sleep. Paradoxically, it may be the most control and the least control you have over any situation in your life. Make the most of it! And welcome, precious babies!

City home to hundreds of ukulele players Nevil Hunt nevil.hunt@metroland.com
Arts - Chilly pedestrians on Bank Street are wrapped up in scarves and toques, unaware that a slice of the South Pacific is just steps away. The Bytown Ukulele Club is tuning up. At least once a month, dozens of ukulele players fill the basement room at the Clocktower Brew Pub at Bank and Pretoria Avenue in the Glebe, sharing their love for one of the simplest musical instruments to learn. Sue Rogers is the group’s selfconfessed “facilitator for life.” Before the evening’s playing begins, she zips around the room welcoming newcomers and catching up with some of the group’s 400-plus members. Her enthusiasm for the tiny ukuleles is infectious. Rogers said she was hooked the moment she saw a ukulele performance at the Ottawa Folk Festival.
Some of our youngest are eight and nine years old and you can see them playing next to their grannies SUE ROGERS
“It was just so easy,” she said. “Within two weeks I was singing away and strumming.” She said the ukulele draws people in because it’s fun to accompany yourself on songs and because players find it easy to move from beginner to intermediate. “Some people can learn in less than an hour,” Rogers said, adding she’s taught some of her co-workers to play over their lunch hour. First-timers are welcome at every regular BUG meeting. “That’s how you learn; being surrounded by it,” she said, adding all ages can take part. “Some of our youngest are eight and nine years old and you can see them playing next to their grannies.” LYRICS AND CHORDS
The four strings of a ukulele need only be strummed with one hand to make a sweet sound. The other hand takes care of chords, but thankfully for newbies, there are many songs that require just two or three chords. The Clocktower’s big screen TVs show no sports – members can in10
stead follow along as chord diagrams and lyrics are shown for the players. At some of the pub’s tables, music stands have been replaced with iPads, each holding thousands of songs. All the players are welcome to join in and sing as they play. The room – which holds a maximum of 90 uke players – is bedlam at 6:45 p.m. as everyone tunes up or finishes their dinner. The harmony begins promptly at 7 p.m. And if a pub isn’t your thing, you may see BUG members out in the community, playing farmers markets and the like. “All our events are interactive so people can try out the ukuleles,” Rogers said. You can look for dozens of BUG players at the Vernon Canada Day celebration. Along with the small size of the instruments comes a small price tag: another reason for the instrument’s continuing popularity, in addition to portability. Players can start out with ukuleles – they come as soprano, concert, tenor or baritone – that cost less than $50 at city music stores, although you can spend more than $1,000 on one hand made in Hawaii. What’s also striking about ukuleles is that their tiny size bears little relation to how much fun they deliver, both for players and listeners. During a recent beginners night at the Clocktower, there were few smiles while songs were played as the budding musicians concentrated on TV screens and their finger placement to create the chords. But as the final note of each song was played, faces would light up and the smiles and laughter were unstoppable. If the contrast between full-size adults and pint-size ukuleles make you laugh, head to the Internet and search for “Israel” and “Ukulele” to watch the late Israel Kamakawiwo’ole play his favourite instrument. And should you catch the ukulele bug, visit bytownukulele.ca for meeting information and lots of free advice on playing the instrument.

Taylor crediting members of a community working group who have scrutinized all aspects of the issue over the past few years. “This project, depending on who you speak to, has been on-again, off-again for 20 to 30 years, but we’re really in the home stretch now, and that is thanks to the resi-
dents who have worked with us.” Current flood defences in the area – including an earthen berm and patchy seawall - date to the early 1980s and have since been deemed insufficient to prevent flooding and property damage to homes. Homeowners have long been annoyed at their perilous situation, with the inherent risk preventing them
from being able to carry out extensive work on their homes, such as building an addition, or an entirely new structure. “It really has been community action that has animated this particular issue, and it has been a longstanding issue,” said Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli. “This, I think, (will bring) the quality of life, property values, and

hopefully community peace on this issue.” Chiarelli also announced a $16,174 grant from the Land Stewardship and Habitat Restoration Program, which will bolster the Rideau Valley Conservation Society’s existing shoreline restoration and water quality project. In 2007, the city approved a funding arrangement for the Britannia Flood Control Project, with design work to be carried out by the Rideau Valley Conservation Society. Now, with money in place, the measures studied by the society can move forward. The project includes modifying and replacing existing structural flood control measures on waterfront properties, and adding new defences where gaps in protection exist.

House parties would always bring special magic
W
MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories Well, that all made perfect sense to me. That Saturday, it was being held at Aunt Bertha and Uncle Alec’s home, just across the 20-Acre Field, so that meant

hen I asked my older and much wiser sister Audrey how people knew where the next Saturday night house party was being held without being asked, she said it was very simple. The central switchboard operator just got on the switchboard and called everyone in Northcote, and told them where it was, and she also told them not to forget to bring something for the lunch.

the place would be fair jumping. With their large family, our five and goodness knows how many other kids from the Northcote area, it would be a rip roarin’ night. I asked Audrey, who I thought was the smartest girl in Renfrew County, if she thought it would be another night of magic. The magic I was talking about was a secret between my sister and me. “It could be,” she said with a grin. As soon as the evening chores were done, a hurried supper eaten, and our next-toSunday best clothes put on, we headed across the field in the flat-bottom sleigh. We were the first to arrive. Within minutes the yard was full of sleighs and cutters, and Aunt Bertha’s usually immaculate kitchen was full of boots, and outerwear piled in a heap in a corner. Aunt Bertha and Uncle
Alex had one of the largest kitchens in the Northcote area, so there was still lots of room for tables for euchre, and a place for the fiddlers and guitar players to sit when it came time to change from cards to square dancing. I knew without asking that out in the summer kitchen, 11-quart baskets would be sitting wrapped in clean towels, and then piled under blankets to keep the innards from freezing.
the adults at their card games, and we would head upstairs to play jacks or marbles or snakes and ladders. The bedrooms were large at Aunt Bertha’s, much larger than ours across the field. But like ours, the beds were made up of soft downy feather ‘tickings,’ puffy and inviting. Upstairs we could hear the laughter and the tables being slapped when someone yelled “Euchre!”
How did it happen? How could I possibly fall asleep at Aunt Bertha’s, right between my two best friends, and waken the next morning in my own bed? I could see the big white granite teapots teaming on the back of the cook stove, everything was ready for a great night of fun. Aunt Bertha would have opened the parlour, and people spread out wherever they could find a place to sit or stand. The very youngest of the children, and that included me, would soon tire of watching
It would be a late night. Much later than we younger ones were used to. And it didn’t take long for one after the other of us to crawl onto one of the downy beds – just to rest a bit, as Joyce would say. There were so many of us that we had to lay cross ways on the beds, so that everyone had a place. Beatrice, who was a great story teller, would start
into one of her tales, and Cora might sing. And that’s when the magic would happen. I had no idea it was even talking place, and it would take some time for me to realize it had. But I would waken, and the sun would be pouring in the window. Just like magic, I would be back in my own bed, in the very room I shared with my sister Audrey in our old log house across the 20-Acre Field. How did it happen? How could I possibly fall asleep in an upstairs bedroom at Aunt Bertha’s, right between my two best friends, Joyce and Velma, and waken the next morning in my own bed? I would go downstairs and look for my sister Audrey, and once again we would share my secret question. “How did it happen, Audrey? How did I fall asleep at the Thoms with the music playing downstairs, and then wake up in my own bed?” Audrey would say the same words she said every time I asked. “It’s just Renfrew County magic, Mary, just Renfrew County magic.” It would be many years before I would know it was my father who would wrap me in a blanket after the party came to an end, and carry me to the sleigh and tuck me into my bed. Magic indeed!

Mayor wants site to honour Mandela Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
must be directed to Diane Blais in the city clerk’s office by emailing namingottawa@ ottawa.ca no later than March 14. The South African leader dedicated his life to ending that country’s apartheid regime died on Dec. 5, 2013. Mandela was South Africa’s first black chief executive, elected as president from 1994 to 1999 after serving 18 years in prison for plotting to
overthrow the government using violence. He was the first living foreigner to be made an honourary Canadian citizen and the first foreign leader to be made a member of the Order of Canada. Mandela visited Ottawa in 1998 and unveiled a plaque honouring John Peters Humphrey in front of the Human Rights Monument outside city hall’s heritage building.
R0012550201
News - Mayor Jim Watson’s idea to name a yard between city hall and the courthouse after Nelson Mandela is up for public scrutiny. Watson revealed the idea during his “state of the city” speech to city council on Jan. 22. “It would be a small, but meaningful way to recognize
the man who inspired people the world over,” the mayor said. The proposal is under consideration by the city’s commemorative naming committee, which is seeking the public’s feedback. If approved, the area in front of the city hall heritage building facing Elgin Street, in front of the Human Rights Monument, will be renamed. Comments on this proposal
Submitted
This area between city hall’s heritage building and the Human Rights Monument could be renamed in honour of late South African leader Nelson Mandela.

Meet the candidates: Chaim Dov Ber Chein News - At just 23-years-of-age, communications student Chaim Dov Ber Chein, or Dovi Chein as he is more commonly known, is ready to represent the community he has lived in for nearly his entire life. The oldest of six boys, Chein is in his fourth and last year of a communications degree at the University of Ottawa, and is no stranger to politics. A “card-carrying Conservative,” Chein has worked on several campaigns, and worked on the Hill for Conservative MP Larry Miller. With this experience, and pledging to be accessible to the commu-
nity members of Ward 15, Chein said he is ready to be a city councillor. Q: Why are you running for city council in Kitchissippi Ward? A: I’ve been knocking on doors every night for the last couple weeks, and everyone I’ve spoken to mentions, or a focal point of their argument, is the councillor (Katherine Hobbs) is just inaccessible. I think your one job as a councillor is to be accessible. I just think it’s not right. Also, the (Kitchissippi) area is improving drastically, but when a resident has a problem or a community group has a problem with a building going up, instead of discussing and collaborating with developers on
how to make this process of gentrification the best transition, they (the city) are just fighting about “instead of being 15 floors, let’s make it 10 floors.” We have to be pragmatic, sit down, have a discussion, and figure out the best solution or the equilibrium for everyone’s situation. Q: Detail your past political and civic activism, whether it’s volunteering, campaigning, donations, lobbying or employment at any level of government or political party. A: I’ve worked on a bunch of Conservative provincial and federal campaigns. My most recent one was Matt Young in Ottawa South for the legislature. I also worked for Larry
A trusted community.
Miller, the (Conservative) MP for Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound. I started off as an intern, but ended up taking over managing his Parliament Hill office for eight months. When I was younger, I volunteered at the Dovercourt Community Centre on the outdoor rink. Now, I’m doing an internship with the centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs. I’m also part of the Israel Awareness Committee on campus. Q: How are you going to fundraise for your campaign? A: “I’m starting off with my friend network; all the people I know. I am also planning some dinners, maybe a breakfast. Also, I am working on a website to process my donations. I have no problem accepting donations from corporations and unions. I don’t think that, if someone is donating to you, they are holding a gun to your head. Q: Do you have any potential pecuniary interests or a financial or family conflict of interest? A: I don’t believe so. Q: What do you think the biggest issue was in Kitchissippi Ward this term and how was it handled? What will be the big issue next term? A: It’s literally accessibility. I knock on doors every night and people are extremely upset. They can’t speak to a city councillor. You are not the president of the

United States, you are not the prime minister of Canada, they are a city councillor and they are supposed to be here for the residents. That’s your one job. If I’m elected, accessibility will not be an issue at all. I think the light rail is a huge issue going down Scott Street. There is also development. This is a time where we really have to sit with the community and get their input and do what they want and what’s best for them.

Organization calling for more public washrooms Michelle Nash
michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - What happens when you are out shopping or playing in the park and you have to go? One local organization is looking to make public washrooms more accessible and available for anyone who has to go. The Gotta go! campaign started a couple of months ago with one thing in mind -- creating a network of safe, accessible, free, clean and environmentally responsible public toilets and water fountains at parks, major transit stops and key public spaces to meet the needs of residents and tourists in Ottawa. Campaign organizer Marianne Eriksson informed Lowertown residents at a Feb. 10 meeting about the campaign at its monthly meeting on Feb. 10. According to Eriksson, one of the first things the organization is doing is gathering information, ideas and com-
ments from residents. “We want to know where you think would be a good place, concerns or ideas,” Eriksson said. “Sometimes we are simply talking about putting in one public toilet in a location that could have a beneficial impact.” According to the campaign, the Crohns and Colitis Foundation surveyed their members in 2008 and found that more than 85 per cent of them have been caught needing a toilet in a hurry and although the city does have public restrooms in large parks or community spaces, use is limited to the hours it is open to the public and some are seasonal. “There have been complaints that people use laneways in the market,” Eriksson said. She said the group is also compiling a list of current public washrooms to best identify the ideal spots for public washrooms. Concerns about cleanliness,
she added, could be addressed by having self-cleaning washrooms. “We are looking at what other capital cities are doing, as well as looking at design capabilities for the washrooms,” she said. Not an inexpensive endeavor, the organization plans to help off-set any start-up costs by making advertising space available for businesses. Lowertown Community Association board member Elizabeth Bernstein told Eriksson that a recent walkability audit the association conducted in the summer collected some information about public washroom needs and offered to share the information with the campaign. “(Going forward) we can share with you and help build the research rather than work separately,” Bernstein said. To find out more information, send comments or ideas, contact the Gotta go! campaign at gottagocampaign@ gmail.com

City to allow medical marijuana facilities in industrial areas Facilities must be 150 metres from homes and institutions Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Growing medical marijuana will soon be allowed in certain industrial parks in Ottawa. The city’s planning committee approved new zoning rules to accommodate the federal government’s changes to the medical marijuana access program on Feb. 11. The city has already received nine notifications from local businesses who are interested in applying for a federal medical marijuana growing license on April 1. The facilities will be allowed in general and heavy industrial zones in both the urban and rural areas. But for some councillors and members of the public, the 150-metre separation distance between the facilities and residences or institutions was not enough. Orlans Coun. Bob Monette worried that children at daycares allowed to be located in industrial parks would be too close to the facilities. He dissented on the committee’s vote to approve the rules. “This use is no dirtier, to be blunt,
CITY OF OTTAWA/SUBMITTED
The dark areas on the map show industrial areas where medical marijuana growing facilities will be allowed to operate in the city’s central area if on Feb. 26 city council approves zoning rules recommended by the planning committee. than any other use permitted in an industrial zone,” said Carol Ruddy, the city planner in charge of the study. She said the normal separation distance for an industrial use is 70 m. The largest distance she encountered for a marijuana growing facility setback was a kilometre, Ruddy said. Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley said the city should be looking at the higher end of that setback distance range in order to protect nearby
homes from things like fires at marijuana grow-ops. Lee Ann Snedden, manager of policy development and urban design, said growing marijuana isn’t considered to be a “sensitive land use” due to the tight federal regulations on how the facilities are designed. The only reason her staff supported a larger setback from residential areas was due to “perceived issues” with the facilities, she said.

Gladstone Station District Community Design Plan
Open House Saturday, March 1, 2014 Drop-in: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Bridgehead Coffeehouse 130 Anderson Street (at Preston), Ottawa The Gladstone Station District today is a unique area within the heart of Ottawa brimming with both history and future potential. The City of Ottawa is undertaking the Gladstone Station District Community Design Plan (CDP) to work collaboratively with the community to explore, develop and recommend a vision and design concept to guide private development and public works projects in the area over the next 20 years. Residents and landowners are invited to attend this second Open House located at a storefront right in your community. On display, there will be three concept options for the Gladstone study area resulting from a design workshop with community representatives and technical agencies. Speak with City planners about this CDP we want to hear your thoughts! Just drop-in, review the options at your leisure and provide us with your input. Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accommodation, please call 3-1-1 or e-mail the project lead below before the event.

Ottawa West News EMC - Thursday, February 20, 2014
Ruddy said increasing the separation distance would result in creating “dead zones” around the facilities. “This is lands we’ve set aside for employment uses… we need those lands, they are important,” she said. “Quite frankly the (planning) department’s position is (that larger separation distances) sterilize lands from a particular use,” Snedded added. Innes Coun. Rainer Bloess agreed, saying the city needs to protect eco-
nomic development opportunities on lands it has set aside for employment uses, like industrial parks. She added that federal regulations won’t’ allow any odours to escape from the facilities. “They must have sophisticated HVAC systems and (air) scrubbers,” she said. The federal laws for medical marijuana are far more strict than many other industrial use, many of which have unregulated emissions, Ruddy said. The facilities will require annual federal inspection, which is more frequent than other types of facilities, Snedden said. All production, storage and destruction of marijuana must be location inside the facility – no outdoor growing is allowed. No clients are allowed to access the buildings and delivery vehicles must enter inside the facility to pick up the product. The buildings must have outdoor surveillance equipment. If city councillors had rejected specific zoning rules for medical marijuana growing facilities, it would have been considered an agricultural use by default and therefore allowed in a number of rural zones, including agricultural, rural countryside, mineral aggregate and extraction zones, environmental protection zones and development reserve areas. Those land uses area allowed in approximately 75 per cent of the city’s rural land area.
Carp Road Widening Environmental Assessment Study Highway 417 to Hazeldean Road Open House #2 Wednesday, February 26, 2014 Goulbourn Recreation Complex (Arena B Lobby) 1500 Shea Road, Stittsville 6:30 to 9 p.m. Transit Access: Route # 96 The City of Ottawa is undertaking the Carp Road Widening Environmental Assessment Study to determine the most appropriate means to accommodate and manage increasing transportation infrastructure requirements in the northwest Stittsville area. The City’s Transportation Master Plan (TMP 2013) identifies the need for Carp Road widening from two lanes to four lanes between Highway 417 to Hazeldean Road as a Phase 2 project to be completed between 2020 and 2025. Consultation This second Open House will provide an overview of study progress to-date, including the alternative designs considered and the evaluation criteria and methodology used to determine preliminary preferred design for the corridor. Your participation in Open House meetings is important where you can discuss the project with the study team and provide feedback. There will be on-going public consultation activities during the remaining course of the study. The EA study is being undertaken in accordance with Ontario’s EA Act, fulfilling requirements as a Municipal Class EA process for a Schedule ‘C’ project. The EA process will involve developing, assessing, and evaluating alternatives, which will result in a Recommended Plan which will be presented to City Council for approval. Further information on the Carp Road Widening EA Study is available at ottawa.ca/carproad Interested persons can provide comments throughout the EA process. Any comments received will be collected under the Environmental Assessment Act and, with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record.

Cancer society launches quit smoking campaign Buddy system to help smokers quit Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - Ready to butt out once and for all? According to the Canadian Cancer Society, there is no time like the present with the chance to win a brand new car on the line. On March 1, the Cancer Society launches its 2014 Driven to Quit challenge across the province and here in Ottawa, Barbara Hollander, regional coordinator for the Smokers Helpline, said the contest is a great way to encourage smokers to quit. “Our main thing is to encourage people to make an attempt to quit,” she said. In some cases, Hollander added, it can take as many as seven tries to successfully quit. “People need to identify what their main motivation is. Sit down and say, “Why do I really want to quit?” It could
be their health, or finances, or to get more physically active – but identifying the motivation is important.” Aside from personal motivation, the opportunity to be entered into a draw to win the choice between a Dodge Avenger or a Dodge Journey or one of seven regional prizes of $1,000 cash could help this time be the win a smoker needs, Hollander said. Registered participants will receive a confirmation email that includes a $4 discount coupon for either Nicorette or Nicoderm. Each participant is required to have a buddy, someone to offer support, hand holding, smoke-snatching and words of encouragement – anything the quitter needs, Hollander said. Buddies have the opportunity to win one of eight $100 cash prizes. Registration is currently open for anyone who has

DRIVEN TO QUIT/SUBMITTED
According to the Canadian Cancer Society, quitting can immediately offer smokers a positive outcome. line for participants. “We offer you one reason to quit and three ways to
help,” she said. Participants can call or text the free helpline, or visiting
the website. According to the cancer society, tobacco use is the number one cause of preventable disease, death and disability in Ontario and is killing more than 13,000 Ontarians every year and roughly 36 people a day. Twenty minutes after a smoker quits, Hollander said their blood pressure and pulse rate will return to normal. Two weeks to three months after, circulation improves, walking becomes easier, and lung function may increase by up to 20 per cent. One year after quitting, the risk of heart disease is cut in half. Risk of smoking related heart attack is cut in half and 10 years of being smoke free cuts the risk of dying from lung cancer in half. “Quitting smoking is a process; people get frustrated if they have tried a few times, so remember what happened last time and try again,” she said.

Important information about you and your pet is entered into a national database and can be used to contact you if your lost pet has been found. The OHS holds microchip clinics throughout the year. The cost is $50, a small price to pay for a lifetime of security.
Microchips will not fade or be lost over time. Owner information can be accessed electronically and immediately, ensuring the speedy return of a lost pet. While tags may be lost from time to time, tags are still important as a quick and visual way of identifying your pet. For more information, call 613-725-3166 ext. 221 or e-mail microchip@ottawahumane.ca. The next clinic runs March 9.

News - One small infill development in Old Ottawa East led to a rare vote split on city council – but still passed. A raft of amendments needed for the construction of an eight-unit, four-storey apartment building at 99 Greenfield Ave. were approved at council by a vote of 16-8. Capital Coun. David Chernushenko, who represents the area, urged his council colleagues to reject a series of 17 variances requested by the developer to construct the 14.5-metre-tall building on an unusual wedge-shaped piece of land that used to house the local legion hall. The site already had R4 zoning that would allow a building of that style, height and density, but the design didn’t meet some of the requirements for things like setbacks from neighbouring lots. “I believe it continues to set the tone that infill, because it’s in a challenging site, should
necessarily get whatever is asked for,” Chernushenko said. Planning committee chairman Coun. Peter Hume told councillors not to latch onto the item as the “cause célèbre of bad infill.” He said the amendments make sense because they allow the building to be “customized” to the shape of the lot. “It’s what you want to see when you get these tight sites,” Hume said. During the planning committee meeting, said Katherine Grachuta, a planner from FoTenn working on behalf of the developer, said the variances were necessary due to the awkward shape of the lot. She said the variances will actually provide more privacy for neighbouring residents by allowing balconies to be offset from King’s Landing units. The amendments were opposed by eight councillors: Rick Chiarelli (College), Chernushenko, Mark Taylor (Bay), Marianne Wilkinson (Kanata North), Shad Qadri (Stittsville), Keith Egli (Knoxdale-Meri-
vale), Diane Deans (Gloucester-Southgate) and Diane Holmes (Somerset). The development also led to a rift in the community, with some residents bitterly opposed and some in strong favour – even among neighbours at the King’s Landing development next door. Some residents who lined up to speak at the Jan. 28 planning committee meeting when the application was considered said the building would provide much-needed accessible accommodations to allow seniors to remain in the neighbourhood. Others claimed the new building was too close to King’s Landing and would ruin the privacy of neighbours in that development. John Dance, president of the Old Ottawa Community Association, told the planning committee the development is another example of spotrezoning – something that reduces neighbouring residents’ certainty about what kind of development thy can expect on nearby lots.

“We can learn some of the best lessons as adults by listening to you guys,” he told the students.

Greenberg referenced the importance for making kind gestures in a

fast-paced world where time is often in short supply. “I don’t think kindness is a human right, but it probably should be,” said Greenberg, naming Rabbi Reuven Bulka as “the father of kindness in Ottawa.” Kindness Week is the brainchild of Rabbi Bulka, who started the initiative in 2008 as a response to what he saw as an overabundance of bad
news. Joining Greenberg on the stage, Rabbi Bulka surprised him by presenting him with a United Way Community Builder Award. “What’s really lovely is (that) you’ve made kindness the mantra for this community,” said Rabbi Bulka. Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson made the initiative official by declaring Feb. 14 - 21 as Kindness Week in Ottawa.

Hoop dancing circling around Ottawa River Ward City Councillor @CouncillorMcRae Conseillère, quartier Rivière
Adam Kveton
adam.kveton@metroland.ca
Sports - A trendy new fitness and dance style with roots in the circus is popping up throughout Ottawa, including Barrhaven, where a hoop dance enthusiast has just begun offering classes. “It’s huge,” said instructor Ileana Grgic of the new trend, but you’re forgiven if you’ve never heard of it. Though hoop dance has experienced a surge in interest over the last few years, it is still only known in certain circles. Nonetheless, many who try it end up hooked, said Grgic. She is certainly one of them. “I just love it so much and love spreading the joy of it,” she said. Hoop dance is a more sophisticated version of hula hooping, with the goal being self expression, self-confidence, fitness and fun. “When we say ‘hooping,’ the first thing that probably pops into people’s minds is that you stand there and you hoop around your waist, and ‘Doesn’t that get boring?’ But it’s really way more than that,” said Grgic. Hoop dancers aim to give expression to music by rotating specially made hoops around any and all parts of their bodies in a rhythmic, spinning motion. In Ottawa, the dance originated with a circus act in 2004, and subsequently with classes being offered by Sophie Latreille in 2005. Now, many more classes have started, with the benefits of hooping including fitness, self confidence and even increased libido. Rather than the plastic, flimsy hoops of childhood, these hoopers use specially weighted, wider hoops that spin at a slower speed, and are easier to keep up. While it’s not hard to keep the hoop going, there is plenty of skill involved in the dance. Grgic has been hooping for three-and-a-half years, and, like the origin of the dance in Ottawa, first got interested in it through the circus. While homeschooling her son, Grgic enrolled him in a circus school, which, among activities like unicycling and acro-balancing, included hooping. “Hooping caught my eye, and I didn’t really think too much about it except to kind of throw it on my bucket list at that time,” she said. But it wasn’t long until she bought her own hoop and tried it out at weekly hoop jam at Strathcona Park. “I started hooping around my waist and watching all these people do all these cool things with the hoop and it totally in-

During years of classes, Grgic discovered the hoop dance community, including free jams at Strathcona Park and Ottawa city hall, classes in Orléans, the Glebe and Dovercourt, and the hoop pioneers in Ottawa like Sophie Latreille and
Trish Stolte. Now, Grgic takes her hoops everywhere, including on vacation, where she enjoys explaining to the inevitable onlookers just what she is doing. In Barrhaven, she is now part of the growing hooping trend, starting her own classes this past
fall at the Stronger You dojo at 3570 Strandherd Dr. under the name Hoopla. “It’s very exciting for me,” she said. “Just opening up that world for people or the idea of that world for people is thrilling for me.”
The outdoor skating rink season is coming to an end and most rinks will close on Friday, February 28, 2014.
