days, and is still developing the policies it will advocate for, but its main focus will be to help aging people stay in their homes and communities as long as they healthily can. “Our hope is we can have a real meaningful impact on the life of older people,” Gillis said. Gillis said the University of Ottawa will be a good partner for the organization because of its approach to health care research. “The University of Ottawa’s health sciences department is also looking at new ways to make our health care system more efficient,” she said. The new centre will also collaborate with other organizations across the world. “Together, we will not only advance on issues related to enhancing quality of life across the lifespan, but also join a network of international leaders to create a forum for knowledge exchange around innovative interventions,” said Helene Perrault, dean of the university’s faculty of health sciences.

“Currently, there is no organized body with the vision and mandate that ILC Canada will have.” The centre will open in May and will work in partnership with the university’s faculty of health sciences. The longevity centre has a “global alliance” of organizations in 17 countries to advocate for the rights of older people. The first centres were founded in the early 1990s at Columbia University in New York and in Japan. Gillis said the Canadian organization is going to model itself on the British branch as a model for their own as seniors in the country’s face similar issues. As Canada’s baby boom generation enters its senior years, the existence of an organization like the longevity centre is increasingly important, Gillis said. The number of seniors in the country aged 65 and over increased by nearly five million, or 14 per cent, between 2006 and 2011, according to Statistics Canada. The organization is in its early

A development application is seeking to increase the density of Lebreton Flats, but not in the area many would first think of. Surface Developments has submitted a site plan control and zoning bylaw amendment for 22 Perkins Ave., with the aim of constructing a threeand-a-half storey, 17-unit apartment building. The site is located north of Albert Street and east of Booth Street, in the sliver of the original Lebreton Flats community that escaped the expropriation of the 1960s. Situated at the end of Perkins (a dead-end), the site is currently home to a two-storey detached dwelling and directly abuts the Nanny Goat Hill cliff. The proposal would contain six covered vehicle parking spaces – below the city’s 50 per cent requirement – and nine indoor bicycle parking spaces. The project’s planning rationale, prepared by FoTenn Planning and
Urban Design, references the site’s multi-modal attributes. “The site is ideally situated with respect to proximity to transit,” it reads. “The site will be located within 200 metres of (the future) Pimisi Station … and is well served by the existing rapid transit system.” Besides transit, the site is located near both the multi-use pathway that runs along Albert and connects with the Ottawa River Pathway, and the Laurier Avenue bike lane. The project’s amenity areas would be located in the rear and side yards, as well as on the building’s roof, with extra landscaping reserved for the site’s 22 metre frontage onto Perkins. A variety of materials will be incorporated into the exterior design to break up the massing of the building. Although the height of the building is allowed within the lot’s current zoning, a zoning bylaw amendment is needed because of the irregular lot shape. Comments related to the file will be accepted until March 20.

Have your say on central library vision Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
The Ottawa Public Library wants a better central branch for the nation’s capital, but first it needs to find out what residents define as “better.” Library staff is inviting residents to participate in a visioning exercise this month that will help planners figure out what kinds of spaces and functions library users would like to see included in a new main library. Elaine Condos, the library’s facilities and business services manager, said staff already made a few assumptions about the shifting needs of library users, but they need the public to confirm whether or not they’re on the right track. “What we see with (other) libraries consistently is less space for collections, more space for the public, more group and quiet study spaces,” Condos said. “People want to be able to collaborate and create.” The library has been considering the possibility of building a new central library – likely with the help of a private partner – since last summer. This is the first time the public has been asked to weigh in on what that new facility might include.
File
Residents can have their say on what kinds of uses they’d like to see in a new central library. Simple changes staff assumes have unanimous support include reliable Wi-Fi access – something the 41year-old building at 120 Metcalfe St. just can’t provide because of its outdated concrete infrastructure. Condos said a new main library would need to be flexible enough to evolve as technology and community needs change into the future. “As a library would age, you want to be able to repurpose your space,” she said.
Looking at other central libraries in Canada, Condos said staff know that simply housing books is a thing of the past. “We’re not looking for a future facility that would be a warehouse for physical material,” she said. “We’re looking for a community space.” The newly-opened Halifax Central Library has become one of Ottawa’s top models in that regard. “It’s described as the living room for the community, and that’s what
Condos said that this is just the first round of public consultation, to get a sense of functional requirements. “There will be many other opportunities for consultations” to discuss locations, private partnerships and detailed site plans later in the process, she said.
we’ve always talked about,” Condos said. There are three ways the public can get involved in the discussion: attend a public consultation at city hall, participate in an online forum, or visit the main branch. The public consultation will be held at city hall on March 31 from 7 to 9 p.m. Registration is already open at ottawacentrallibrary.ca, and Condos said the meeting can accommodate about 200 people. After a brief presentation, participants will break out into groups with library facilitators to talk about the types of services and spaces they’d like to see in the updated main library. For those who can’t get to the consultation, they can watch it live online at ottawacentrallibrary.ca and then submit their feedback until April 6. And main branch users can leave their comments right on site between March 21 and 27, when staff will set up an “idea board” on the ground floor. “We’ll have big pieces of paper that people can write their ideas on,” Condos said. “Halifax did something similar; they called it a graffiti board. We want to try and get input from as many people as possible.”
LONG TIME COMING
The possibility of replacing or renovating the crumbling main library downtown has been on the radar for several years. The city abandoned its plans to build a new structure in 2010, in favour of trying to fix up the current branch. But a report published last July found the existing building would require $40 million in renovations to just get the library up to 21st century standards, and as much as $70 million to expand the space enough to offer a full range of uses for its 14,000 weekly visitors. The functional program space requirement for a modern central library is 130,000 square feet, and the current facility has only 98,000 usable square feet, according to the report. Since the options would require so much money for relatively little in return, the library board directed staff at the time to analyze the options for building a central library at a new site, and to report back in 2015.

Provincial bill would change planning landscape in Ottawa ‘Smart Growth’ bill tabled by MPP Naqvi would spur transit revenue, reduce OMB appeals Steph Willems
steph.willems@metroland.com
Ottawa’s longstanding culture of contentious development battles might be in for a change if a new piece of legislation is passed into law. By tabling the Smart Growth for Our Communities bill on March 5, Ottawa-Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi aims to solidify community involvement as part of the planning process, while reducing the number of development applications appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board. It would also allow some municipalities to collect more development charges for transit funding. The bill, said Naqvi, would bring legislative weight to the zoning contained within community-developed neighbourhood design plans. The bill would serve to reform the province’s Planning Act and Development Charges Act. “It means more predict-
ability for communities and developers when it comes to municipal rules,” said Naqvi. “Official Plans are now official for five years. This would extend that period to 10 years, with a two-year freeze on appeals to the OMB.”
‘It means more predictability for communities and developers when it comes to municipal rules.’ Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi
If passed, the legislation would require developers to follow through with community consultation when proposing a development – something that is currently not always a requirement. It would require communities to develop parks
plans in order to ensure an adequate amount of green space in growing neighbourhoods. On the city revenue side, the bill would see added monies drawn from developers by cities to fund waste diversion and transit. Development charges already cover transit, but Naqvi feels the current model is outdated, as it takes into consideration the transit service the particular site has seen over the past 10 years. That becomes problematic when large projects like LRT are built, running through developing areas favoured by builders. Due to this, “the city is finding it couldn’t calculate development charges (by) looking at transit usage of the last 10 years,” said Naqvi. Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney, who oversees the city’s most densely populated ward, said she approved of the aim the proposed changes. “My initial take on it … is it could be good news for the
community and municipalities if both residents and municipalities are given more input in the local planning process,” she said. The work that goes into creating community design plans is too often diminished by appeals to the OMB, McKenney said, adding that “this would solidify what we do as a city and community for a number of years.” McKenney said she isn’t concerned about rigid zoning becoming an impediment to small businesses or the evolution of neighbourhoods, given that most developed areas – such as the traditional mainstreets at the heart of most urban communities – are generally designated as mixed-use, thus the properties contained within can accommodate a variety of new uses. The bill still has to pass second and third reading at Queen’s Park before becoming law.

Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi tabled a bill on March 5 that, if passed, would allow municipalities collect more transit revenue through development charges.
RCAF Veteran Helps Change Lives at Bruyère Lt Col (ret) James Holt was a Canadian fighter pilot. He’s broken the speed of sound. Twice. Jim had two careers. He flew jets and was an aerobatic pilot in the RCAF. He retired and moved on to Foreign Affairs. His job was to make Canada attractive to foreign trade. Now Jim can consider a third career as a fundraiser. The path to this new calling is a story on its own.
NATIONAL ATTENTION
In 2014 Jim was diagnosed with stage four cancer. However, since he had been living outside of Canada for twelve years, he was ineligible for OHIP. With hospital bills mounting, Jim’s daughter Caroline turned to a lawyer for advice. The media heard of Jim’s story, sharing it across Canada. Bruyère Continuing Care waived the money owed by Jim until his issue with OHIP was settled.
ACCIDENTAL FUNDRAISER
Bruce Kane, Manager of the Royal Canadian Legion, Montgomery Branch, was in a meeting when he first read the news. “We have to do something.” he thought. Across Ottawa, Dee Brasseur (a trailblazer as one of Canada’s first female CF18 fighter pilots) is thinking the same thing. “What can I do to help?” Within days, Bruce and Dee visit Jim in his room at Élisabeth Bruyère Hospital. Bruce presents $5,000 from the Poppy Trust Fund. Dee brings $2,500 that she raised in a matter of days from donors across Canada.
STRANGERS TO SOULMATES
“Bruyère is Ottawa’s first and oldest hospital. Our work is woven into the fabric of our community. It is people like Jim who help bring what we do to the forefront. I’m so grateful for everything he is doing on behalf of so many.”
HELPING FUTURE PATIENTS
“This isn’t about me,” says Jim. “This is about people helping people. I cannot say enough about how well I am treated here at Bruyère. I know this kind of care doesn’t come cheap. I hope, through my story, that more people will join Dee and Bruce and help raise money for this wonderful place.”
The casual observer may think Jim, Dee and Bruce all knew each other. They did not. Jim brought them together. “When they first contacted me,” says Jim. “I told them I didn’t need the money, they should raise the money for Bruyère.” “You can’t help but be moved by what they’ve done,” says Amy Desjardins, President of Bruyère Foundation. “Jim Holt, his family, Dee, Bruce and all of our donors are perfect examples of the amazing people in our community,” says Amy.

Plasco contract officially cancelled Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
The city has officially cut ties with Plasco Energy, according to the solicitor Rick O’Connor. “As a result of out-of-court negotiations, the city has been able to secure the termination of the Plasco LongTerm Waste Conversion Agreements ... effective immediately,” he wrote in a memo to councillors on March 3. That only applies to the waste-toenergy company’s commercial facility, which never got off the ground despite several deadline extensions from the city to let Plasco find sufficient financing to move forward. Plasco signed a contract with the city to develop the commercial facility in December 2012, but struggled to find enough investors to back up its innovative technology that would turn garbage into usable energy. After two missed deadlines, the city eventually gave the Ottawa-based company until Dec. 31, 2014 to come up with the money, otherwise it reserved the right to cancel the agree-
P
ment. Plasco missed that deadline and filed for creditor protection on Feb. 10. While the commercial contract has been canned, the city is still trying to negotiate the release of a $300,000 letter of credit to decommission the demonstration facility built on city land near the Trail Road landfill. A Toronto court adjourned the creditors’ proceeding on March 3 to allow for “further negotiations” between the city and Plasco to discuss when and how the lease for the demo plant might be terminated, and how much money might be set aside for decommissioning. “With the co-operation of Plasco and the court-appointed monitor, the city is attempting to ... ensure that the city’s decommissioning security of $300,000 for the demonstration facility is preserved and immune from any other creditors,” O’Connor said. Plasco has dozens of outstanding debts to investors, contractors and service providers, from $78 for an airport limo ride to several loans of $22.6 million each from major investors.

Hydro Ottawa mulls delivery rate hike Proposed five-year plan aimed at modernizing electricity grid steph.willems@metroland.com
Aging equipment and office accommodations have Hydro Ottawa considering a significant hike to its delivery rates. The electricity distributor is proposing a five-year upgrade plan designed to shore up the city’s electrical infrastructure, but it will come at a price, and at a time when hydro rates are in the midst of a steep climb. Between 2016 and 2020, Hydro Ottawa is proposing $537.3 million in expenditures. The money would have a number of uses – replacing the oldest lines, poles and transformers, building new infrastructure to serve expanding communities and the future LRT, as well as consolidating operations in a pair of new buildings, one of which would serve as a headquarters. Three older properties, all of which are aging and far from main transportation routes, will be sold. Before it asks the Ontario Energy
Board for approval, Hydro Ottawa is gathering feedback from customers via online and telephone surveys, as well as focus groups. “Our goal is to continue delivering the electricity local homes and businesses depend on, reliably and efficiently,” said Hydro Ottawa spokeswoman Rebecca Hickey. “With aging infrastructure and a growing city, significant investments must be made to achieve this goal. There is a balancing act that all utilities must consider when planning for the future -- system reliability versus the cost to consumers. Generally, the more reliable the system, the more expensive the system is to build and maintain.” The utility calculates that 33 per cent of the city’s pole-mounted transformers are more than 50 years old, while 12 per cent of those poles are in poor or critical condition. As well, 17 per cent of the city’s overhead wires are in need of replacement. The upgrades would add $3.55 per

month to the average user’s hydro bill – a number that would rise by $1.55 a month until 2020, at which point the upgrades would add approximately $9.80 to the delivery portion of your monthly bill. Electricity rates, which have risen 51 per cent during on-peak times in the past four years (and 41 per cent in off-peak times), are predicted to rise by another 42 per cent by 2018. Given this reality, there’s a possibility that some electricity consumers could be hit hard by the combined increases. “Higher power costs always have an impact on businesses,” said Kanata North councillor and Hydro Ottawa
(21 per cent). For the proposed changes to take effect during the planned timeline, the Ontario Energy Board would have to evaluate Hydro-Ottawa’s proposal and complete the approvals process before the end of the year. There’s currently no timeline for the survey, but Wilkinson sees the end period being this summer. “The OEB may or may not say this should be done by raising rates,” said Wilkinson. “But, Hydro Ottawa can’t go back to them until after a five-year period. So, there would be some continuity for five years, even if some customers didn’t like it.” Residents looking to weigh in on the proposed plan can make their feelings known by visiting hydroottawa. com/survey.

board member Marianne Wilkinson, adding that city and provincial programs exist to help individuals and families who can’t pay their hydro bill. “Residents can lower their bill significantly, but it requires investment,” she said, referring to energy-inefficient appliances. “The biggest problem is the cost of actual power, which is a bigger part of the bill. However, we do need to keep the power flowing.” Bills aside, power stops flowing in Ottawa for a variety of reasons, though equipment failure is the number one reason why the lights go out.

Infrastructure planning off track
O
ttawa won’t be advertising itself anytime soon as the municipality where the trains always run on time. Last week, the city was forced to postpone the opening of the $60.3-million Trillium O-Train line, after signaling errors caused long delays and even prevented some trains from leaving the station. Transit commission chairman Stephen Blais spent Monday, March 2, apologizing to stranded passengers – a day he would have preferred toasting the launch of the new transit line, which boasted new track and double the number of trains to carry passengers between Greenboro and Bayview stations. By March 3, the entire line was shut down. Once again, the city has been placed in the uncomfortable position of apologizing for delays rolling out a multi-million dollar infrastructure project. Need we mention the Airport Parkway pedestrian and cycling bridge and Vimy Memorial Bridge? Past deadline and grossly over budget, the 75metre Airport Parkway bridge officially opened on
Nov. 29, 2014. Originally budgeted to cost $6.9 million, the bridge was supposed to open in 2011. But that fall, former River Ward Coun. Maria McRae said she noticed chunks of cement falling from the tower, and it eventually had to be torn down. The project ballooned to $11.55 million due to the faulty design of the original tower. A few months earlier, the city celebrated the official opening of the Strandherd-Armstrong bridge (now known as Vimy Memorial Bridge), that now connects Riverside South and Barrhaven on June 12. Originally scheduled for completion in 2012, the $50-million project suffered delays after the construction company went into receivership. Meanwhile infrastructure projects managed by private companies, such as TD Place, manage to come in on budget and on time. Maybe the city can learn a few lessons from the private sector on how to properly manage a multimillion dollar infrastructure project. Perhaps it will spark a new train of thought.

happens in news, where the epidemic of the week is the staple of television broadcasts. It happens in show biz. Take a lot at the coming attractions to see what will be attacking our planet next, breathing fire and knocking down schools and churches. Speaking of churches, impending doom has always sold well there, but they get a free pass since they’ve been at it so long. For the rest of us, couldn’t we do with a bit less fear? It’s something primal, perhaps, the same thing that makes us watch horror movies and election debates. There’s a theory that a lot of the things we are told to fear today – storms, epidemics, gangs – are simply replacing the terror of the Cold War and the threat of nuclear annihilation, which eased considerably with the collapse of the Soviet Union a quarter of a century ago. Which is good, and it wouldn’t hurt to hear more of the good stuff. CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING SALES:

Overloaded kids: War or Peace?
E
arlier this year, the Institute of Marriage and Family Canada interviewed Kim John Payne, founder of Simplicity Parenting. In the interview Payne provocatively said that parents in the west have instigated an undeclared war on childhood by forcing children into far too many structured activities. Payne went so far as to liken the behaviours of many affluent children in the west to children he once worked with in refugee camps: insecure, jumpy and wary of novelty. The kids in the camps, Payne said, suffered from post-traumatic stress due to actual war. The kids in the west are suffering from the stress of being rushed from one extra-curricular activity to another, without down time. In extreme cases, he argues, overloaded kids will tend toward bullying and may exhibit signs of ADHD. I’ve advocated for Payne’s approach in the past, but lately, with my boys getting older, I’m not sure his philosophy continues to apply. As my two eldest children move out of the primary grades, I find they’re demanding more external activities. In other words, they’re less amenable to our simple, at-home routine. This is a big switch. Until the age of eight, my youngest hated any kind of organized activity, which -- despite my tendency to be a zealous joiner -- made it pretty easy when calculating the time, money and effort involved in getting him places, to decide against forcing him to join anything. But things have changed. My boys have grown about a foot each in the last year. They have boundless energy. Payne argues too many activities leads to kids with bad behaviour, but I’m finding the less they have to do, the harder they are to manage. They continue to have
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse a pretty decent balance of free play time and structured activity, but too much free time leads to them bouncing off the walls. The fewer organized sports, classes and plans they have, the more physically violent they are toward each other. Even outdoors in -35 C weather, they wrestle and punch like bear cubs in the backyard. Bring on structure and it’s a completely different ball game. For one, they both love to wear a uniform. A mere mention of a football conditioning program or the chance to play pick-up ice hockey and they are fully kitted up. Within an organized environment – coach, whistle and a defined position to play on a team – they thrive. They crave the connection with others, the communal feeling that can only be found within a team environment. After years of resisting mom’s attempts to join them up, my boys now explicitly say they want to have an activity to look forward to every night of the week. That’s right, every night. And while I feel a little guilty for breaking the simplicity parenting pact my husband and I made years ago, I’m actually all for joining them up. They’ve got a few years to go until adolescence, and I think fostering a variety of interests will serve them well through the teen years and beyond. When I think back to my own childhood, I remember being bored often. A typical 13-year-old girl and without anyone to push me, I dropped the limited pursuits I had to spend a lot of time just “hanging out
with friends,” as a teenager. You can imagine the kind of trouble I got into. My hope is that the more interests I can foster at this age, the more likely the boys will latch onto something that will keep them out of trouble as they navigate the tumultuous years of adolescence. This idea is affirmed when I look at young adults in my midst who grew up in sport. As adults, they continue to play, they have the confidence to try new things, and they make time to engage in extracurricular activities outside of work. Life is all about balance. For my youngest, who’s not yet in school, I’m not throwing any money at organized anything until she’s six. For now, in keeping with Payne’s simplicity approach, she’s happy as a lark playing with my soup pot in the living room most days. But for older kids, perhaps loading them up with organized activities isn’t so much about waging a war on their childhoods as it is about encouraging a peace of mind that they will develop into confident, capable adults.

Ottawa West News - Thursday, March 12, 2015
Bay Coun. Mark Taylor, standing in for Mayor Jim Watson who is recovering from a snowmobile accident, called the recommendations “a shared vision for a better city and a better capital,” and “a better option than any of us thought possible.” The recommended plan would see both lanes of the parkway aligned further south between Dominion Station and Cleary Avenue, with the rail lines buried directly beneath the new lanes. The creation of a “stacked” transportation corridor would allow existing trees located between the parkway and neighbouring homes to be preserved, while the green space fronting the Ottawa River would be expanded by 38 per cent. The rail line would go underground at a point further slightly further west from Dominion Station than in past plans, coming above ground at Cleary Station before connecting with the Richmond Road corridor on its way to the existing Lincoln Fields station. Two underpasses would connect pedestrians and cyclists with the shoreline and waterfront bike trail. “We’re confident this entire segment … can be built within the city’s envelope of $980 million,” said city manager Kent Kirkpatrick, who estimated that the design changes in the recommended plan total about $120 million in savings. NCC chief executive Mark Kristmanson said the realignment of the parkway helped solve a number of problems. “Burying the train directly
beneath the roadway of the parkway has allowed us to meet the criteria set out by the NCC’s board of directors in June 2013,” said Kristmanson. “Those criteria called for unimpeded access and undiminished views to the parkway … (This plan) vastly improves the pedestrian and cycling pathways as well as adds two new crossings that better connect the shorelines to the community. Dominion Station becomes the natural entry point to the parkland and its amenities, from Kitchissippi (Westboro) beach up to Cleary, along an ecologicallyrestored shoreline.” Included in the working group were members of city council, the NCC board, the federal minister responsible for the NCC (a role that switched from Ottawa-West Nepean MP John Baird to NepeanCarleton MP Pierre Poilievre halfway through the 100-day period) and the planners of design firm Urban Strategies. The working group looked both the new, recommended option (the ‘northern’ route) and the previous NCC-recommended alignment through Rochester Field (the ‘southern’ option), but “it became clear that, on balance, that it could not be supported,” said Taylor. “From the outset, it was a challenge to fit within the budget envelope the city had allocated, and the southern route posed greater risks for costs going up further,” said Taylor. “On top of this, it holds much more significant community impact. We were not prepared to tear up Byron Linear Park or the green corridor through Rochester Field – two trea-
sured community assets. Now, with this agreement, they will both have official parkland status.” The relationship between the city and NCC reached new lows late last year after a disagreement on where the light rail line would go. The city wished for a cheaper aboveground option running alongside the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway, while the NCC wished for a pricier alignment running below ground through Rochester Field towards Richmond Road. Caught in between were west end residents who didn’t want above-ground trains running anywhere near their properties. Watson and Baird signed the 100-day truce on Nov. 27, 2014, as a way of clearing the air between the two parties over the issue. “We wiped the slate clean and started over with two alignments – north and south,” said Kirkpatrick, adding that he was pleased the working group would stay intact going forward. Ottawa-Orléans MP Royal Galipeau, serving as federal interlocutor for the city s light rail plan, said the federal government welcomes the proposed alignment.” “I look forward to studying the report and working with (the participants) to ensure the best outcome,” said Galipeau. A public information session scheduled for March 30 will allow residents to voice their opinion on the new plan, with feedback collected as part of the project’s environmental assessment process. Another meeting will take place in late April.

The farm has a few friendly animals, 200 acres of green space, outdoor activities like a pool and basketball court, a busy communal lodge and five private cabins
for families looking for some respite from the daily grind. But when it’s bitterly cold, kids visiting the farm don’t have anywhere to hang out because the rec room in the basement of the lodge, where kids can make use of game tables, a television and couches, is too cold except in the summer months. “It’s not accessible all year round,” said Brendan Marshall, a member of the board of directors who also lives on the farm with his family. “The floor is concrete so it’s quite cold and it’s not insulated.” The board has launched a
fundraising campaign to collect $10,000 to add insulated flooring and drywall in the space, so kids can play there in the winter without wearing three pairs of socks. ASquared Home Improvements is donating some of the labour costs, but the farm still needs to pay for materials. Being a charity, Marshall said there’s just no cash flow to do it without community help. “We rely on grants and contributions, private donations and support through a variety of different grants,” Marshall said. “Finance usually is our biggest hurdle on the farm.”
While summer is certainly the farm’s busiest season – up to 40 people come to stay every week – it is also open for two five-day sessions over the Christmas and New Year break, as well as March Break and Easter. “In the winter when we’re hosting cottagers at the farm,
our ability to do outdoor activities is contingent on the weather,” Marshall said. “The idea is to expand the lodge and the square footage for usage during those particularly cold days.” The campaign on Fundrazr. com ends March 21. To contribute or to watch a video

Residents seek community space pledge for Oblates land Alex Robinson alex.robinson@metroland.com
When it comes to the redevelopment of the Oblates lands, Old Ottawa East residents are hoping the city will make a firm commitment to providing community services to accommodate the thousands of residents who will come with the new urban neighbourhood. Regional Group presented its plan to transform the 10.5hectare piece of land next to St. Paul’s University on Main Street into 970 units of housing at a meeting on March 3. Residents were generally
impressed with the developer’s plan, but were disappointed by the lack of commitment by the city to build services to go along with it. “I’m very impressed with how involved they are with the community,” resident Yvonne Williams said of the developers. “They seem to be very open and thoughtful about what they’re doing in all aspects. I have a feeling they’re trying to make a true community there. I hope the city will come forth and provide what they have to do.” The new community will have a variety of residential units, including condos, town-
houses, as well as commercial space on land that was owned by the Oblates of Mary Immaculate religious order before it was sold to Regional Group. Bike paths, walkways and a pedestrian street called the grand allée will connect the site’s green spaces. The developers said they are currently in discussions to get a grocery store to occupy the first floor of one of the development’s mixed-use buildings. The project will also see the historic Deschâtelets building re-invented as residential space. The developers worked
closely with a number of community groups to ensure their project would suit residents and would follow a community design plan for the area, said John Dance, the president of the Old Ottawa East Community Association. “The developer has indeed taken a really supportive approach to working with the community,” he said. “They’ve been very open and willing to work with us.” The first phase of the redevelopment is expected to begin in the fall, if granted all the necessary approvals by the city and council. Regional Group is hoping to move the first new residents into the site by the end of 2016, but the whole project could take up to a decade to complete. When asked what the city is going to do to create more inside community space for the neighbourhood’s new residents, city planner Erin O’Connell did not have an answer.
“I can’t say at this moment what exactly our plan is,” she said. Capital Ward Coun. David Chernushenko said he has raised the issue in budget meetings with senior managers and with the mayor’s office. “I actually focused this year on this particular site. It’s coming soon,” he said. “It is a tremendous opportunity and if we don’t seize it, it will be that sad story of the lost opportunity -that good but not great site.” The councillor said he has asked the city for inside community space, affordable housing and more parkland for the neighbourhood. Chernushenko said the existing neighbourhood is already in need of a new community centre as the Old Town Hall is too small. “We’ve got all that opportunity on this site and a developer who wants to work with the city,” he said. “I’m excited because it’s all still there for the grasping, but the city does
need to be ready certainly in the next year or two to make a formal commitment.” Residents who attended the March 3 presentation also had concerns about how many trees would be removed during the remediation process as well as how all the dirt was going to be disposed of. Josh Kardish, of the Regional Group, could not say exactly how many trees were going to be removed, but said they had to be taken out and replanted in order to properly remediate the soil. He added they would work with the community to try to make the soil remediation as seamless as possible. Residents have until March 17 to submit comments to the city concerning the developer’s application to create a new subdivision and rezone certain parts of the land. Comments can be emailed to erin.oconnell@ottawa.ca. With files from Laura Mueller

Social workers talk gangs, trauma at education centre Alex Robinson alex.robinson@metroland.com
Tom Walker has never worked with a gang member who wasn’t affected by childhood trauma. The Toronto social worker came to Ottawa on Feb. 27 to talk about how trauma can push young people towards gangs. “(When) I think of trauma, I think about how disconnected some of these young people are from their nervous system, (and) how their nervous system is on override all the time, and the power that has on them being able to be OK living in their bodies,” he told more than 250 social workers, teachers and police officers at a gang conference at Confederation Education Centre in Nepean. When a young person experiences trauma, they experience heightened emotions, extreme isolation and have a hard time trusting people, Walker said. They might feel gangs will provide them with protection and even the opportunity
to be looked up to by younger members. Gangs also give them the family they never had growing up, Walker said. Walker recalled a young gang member he had been working with who was wearing flashy “bling” and driving a nice car, who told him all he wanted was for his parents to care enough to hit him. “It’s a profound example of how neglect can affect people,” Walker said. Walker teaches from experience as he was the victim of childhood trauma, growing up in what he called a “drug house.” He now works in a youth gang program in Toronto in addition to his job for the ORNGE ambulance service, helping trauma victims and people who have post-traumatic stress disorder. Walker has worked with hundreds of young gang members in Toronto’s Break the Cycle program, which has a 60 to 70 per cent success rate. “A lot of the kids I work

Tom Walker speaks to more than 250 social workers, teachers and police officers at a conference about gangs and trauma at the Confederation Education Centre in Nepean on Feb. 27. Walker works on a youth gang project in Toronto. with think they’re going to be dead before they’re 18 or 19,” he said. “They’re not looking at a future. They’re looking at living today. And part of our work is to make them see it dif-
ferent and to move forward.” Walker said gang members need to feel safe before they are able to leave a gang. Some of the ways Walker uses to help youth deal with trauma issues
are as simple as breathing exercises. “Teaching young people to stop and think is a very important part of this process,” Walker said.
Crime Prevention Ottawa hosted the conference and hopes Walker’s methods will be part of a larger strategy to help get the city’s estimated 400 to 500 gang members to ditch their criminal past. “It’s a really exciting process of really thinking outside of the box and looking at the deeper issues with regards to gang involvement,” said Nancy Worsfold, the executive director of Crime Prevention Ottawa. “These are complex issues and we need a sophisticated response,” Worsfold added. Mayor Jim Watson first announced the city would initiate a gang exit strategy in January and has since set aside $400,000 in the city’s proposed budget to fund the project. The city suffered 49 shootings in 2014. Many were gang related crimes. “Bringing people together and working from a trauma perspective is the only way we’re going to have success,” Walker said.

Opera Lyra ready to bring Mozart classic to life Mezzo soprano Wallis Giunta returns to town to take role in in Marriage of Figaro Alex Robinson alex.robinson@metroland.com
The first time Wallis Giunta went to see a classical concert at the National Arts Centre as a child, she knew she had found something special. “Being physically present when that music was playing stirred something in me,� she said. “I still remember that feeling.� The mezzo soprano is now set to return to the very place that sparked her love opera to perform in the Opera Lyra production of the Marriage of Figaro. But the show promises to be more than just a home coming for Giunta. In addition to giving her the chance to perform professionally with her boyfriend, John Brancy, who plays Figaro, a unique marketing campaign
surrounding the production has provided a celebration of opera that extends past the show. Before the first note is sung, Opera Lyra is holding a string of events in the lead up to opening night to create buzz for the Mozart opera. The events are being held as if anticipating a real wedding and include a stag and doe night at a pub, a dress fitting and a rehearsal dinner. “The fact we’re able to do that and build that vibe, it sets this show apart from anything I’ve been involved in and its fun for a cast,� Giunta said. The dress fitting will be hosted by McCaffrey Haute Couture, a local designer that dresses Giunta for concerts in exchange for modelling work. Giunta will play Cherubino in the opera, which is
going to be set in Edwardian England, during the time of Downton Abbey. The Ottawa singer, who is a big Downton Abbey fan, said she loved the idea as the Marriage of Figaro has similar themes to the hit British TV show. “Just because the upper class people are better educated and well-bred, doesn’t mean they make the best choices,� she said. “It’s very interesting to explore that nothing changed socially in the 300 years between when the opera was written and the time period of Downton Abbey.� After growing up in Old Ottawa South, Giunta quickly rose to opera stardom, singing in opera houses across the world, including stints at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, where she recently performed in a production of the Merry Widow. She is planning to move to Leipzig, Germany, in August to join an opera house in that city.
SUBMITTED
Wallis Giunta is set to perform in an upcoming production of the Marriage of Figaro at the National Arts Centre. The Opera Lyra production has been something that she had planned to do for a couple of years.
“I’ve been looking forward to it,� she said. “I love coming home to perform. It’s very fulfilling.�

Meal of tHe week
• 4 cloves garlic, minced • 50 ml (1/4 cup) each liquid honey and red curry paste • 25 ml (2 tbsp) fresh lemon juice • 10 ml (2 tsp) minced fresh gingerroot • 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed • 1 L (4 cups) peeled cubed rutabaga • 15 ml (1 tbsp) vegetable oil • 2 large onions, chopped • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) each salt and pepper • 1 can (400 mL) lite coconut milk
• 1 can (398 ml/14 oz) pure pumpkin puree (not pie filling) • 25 ml (2 tbsp) cornstarch • 50 ml (1/4 cup) minced fresh parsley • 250 ml (1 cup) crumbled feta cheese Preparation
In a small bowl, stir together the garlic, honey, curry paste, lemon juice and ginger. Transfer half of the mixture to a large bowl, and add the sweet potatoes and rutabaga, tossing to coat well. In a large Dutch oven or skillet, heat the oil over medium-
high heat. Add the remaining honey mixture, onions, salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until onions are softened -- about two minutes. Add the sweet potato and rutabaga mixture, and cook until it’s slightly golden, about five minutes. Transfer to a slow-cooker. Add the coconut milk, pumpkin purée and 125 ml (1/2 cup) water to the Dutch oven, bring to a boil, whisking until smooth, then pour over vegetables in slow-cooker. Stir, cover and cook on high for three to four hours, or until the sweet potatoes are tender yet still retain their shape. In a small bowl, stir the cornstarch with 25 ml (2 tbsp) of cold water until smooth, and stir into the slow-cooker. Cover and cook on high for 10 to 15 minutes or until the sauce is thickened. Stir in the parsley. Sprinkle the feta cheese on each serving. Foodland Ontario

Unique present arrives from Chicago
F
or Mother to be standing at the kitchen door waiting for us to come from school wasn’t in itself that unusual. What was unusual was her grabbing me by the arm and hustling me inside. “Hurry Mary, get your clothes off, and put your galoshes on the papers – there’s a surprise for you on the kitchen table.” Ginger cookies perhaps? A few slices of bologna from Briscoe’s General Store? No, Mother was too excited. It had to be something special, but not so special that I wasn’t told to put my galoshes on the papers covering the mat at the door. Heaven forbid that I should track snow across the kitchen floor. I could see the parcel from where I struggled out of my winter pants, jacket, toque, mitts and galoshes. It was a parcel wrapped in brown paper. That meant it had to have come from

My brothers and sister got to the table first, but Mother told them they weren’t to lay a finger on it. “It’s for Mary,” she said. It was soft and about a foot square, and it looked like there were enough postage stamps on it to have been mailed from some foreign country. I asked my sister Audrey to read the return address written neatly in one corner. “It’s from Aunt Freda in Chicago,” she said. My father’s sister, also, of course, a sister to R0013172516

Aunt Lizzie from Regina, who always sent the hand-me-down boxes. But Aunt Freda had no children, or husband, so never once did we ever get anything from her that wasn’t brand new. I was so excited I had to ask Audrey to cut the string that held the parcel together. Well, what came out of that parcel was something I had never seen before in my entire life. It was a square piece of fur with a long cord attached to it at two corners. Mother, who was just about excited as I was, said, “Heavens to Betsy...it’s a fur muff. How lovely – imagine a fur muff!” I had no idea what a fur muff was, or what I would do with it. Emerson, never short on ideas, said he saw one once in Scott’s Hardware, and it was to lure rabbits. “Ridiculous, Emerson,” Audrey said. “It’s to keep your hands warm. See, this is how it works.” Audrey placed the silk cord around my neck, and the fur square hit me just over my belly button. “Now tuck your hands in it” she said. Inside the muff was smooth satin, and it was like someone had put a hot water bottle inside. Within minutes my hands were as warm as toast. “What will they think of next?” I repeated a phrase Father often said after reading the Ottawa Farm Journal. In my mind I could see myself sauntering into the Northcote School with the muff. Mother soon put the kibosh on that idea. It was much too grand to wear to school, she said, and we’d have to give it serious
thought before wearing to the Lutheran Church on Sundays, too. “Maybe into Renfrew. We’ll have to see.” Emerson came over to get a good look at this newfangled fur piece. “Looks like rat fur to me. Yup, I’d put my money on it once being on the back of a rat.” Well, that’s all I needed to know. I hated rats with a passion. But Mother told him not to be silly, it was probably mink or at the very least muskrat. I was fast losing interest in the muff. That didn’t excuse me from printing a letter to Aunt Freda to thank her for the lovely gift. I wanted to tell her I doubted I would ever be able to wear it, but Audrey, who was helping me with the spelling, said that would be very bad manners. And so my letter was full of gratitude for “your kind and considerate gift.” Well, leave it to Emerson to come up with another use for the muff. He said I should use it as a foot warmer in bed at night. And that very night I took it upstairs and tucked it under the flannelette sheet before I crawled into bed. I couldn’t figure out how to put both feet in it at once, since it was only open at both ends, and my ankles simply didn’t bend that way. Since Audrey and I slept in the same bed, it didn’t take her long to reach down, grab the fur muff and toss it in the general direction of the stairwell. In the morning, there it was, sitting on a step about half way down, silk cord and all. It was Father who finally found a use for the fur muff. Instead of taking an old cushion off the creton couch at night to put on the opened oven door to rest his feet while reading the papers, he tucked the silk cord inside, and put the muff on the oven door. Added to my nightly prayers, I prayed that Aunt Freda would never decide to come to visit during the winter, and discover what use her gift was finally put to.

Founder and chairman of Wesley Clover International, Sir Terence Matthews, speaks during a press conference on March 4 announcing a one-day outdoor concert on June 27 at Wesley Clover Parks featuring Shania Twain. said Taylor. “Ottawa has been increasingly becoming a city of festivals, fairs, events, concerts and especially in the lead up to Canada’s sesquicentennial in 2017, we really want to advance that as much as we can.” The founder and chairman of Wesley Clover International, Sir Terence Matthews, said the concert will go a long way in making the park site what he has envisioned. “I always had in my mind that this (site) ought to be something very special for Ottawa,” he said. “I’m delighted to bring this kind of thing to this city,” he said. “It puts us on the map. I don’t care whether it’s Shania Twain or whether it’s somebody else. We now have an opportunity to do some quite unbelievable things.” “Rock this Country” is Twain’s first tour in a decade and her last, she announced on March 4. Tickets will range in price from about $90 for general admission to $180 for grandstand
seats. Tickets will go on sale on March 13 at 10 a.m. at capitaltickets.ca, at the Canadian Tire Centre box office and in other locations. Taylor congratulated Wesley Clover Parks in securing such a large act for its first major concert. “This does impress us much.” Wesley Clover has also invested $30 million to turn the parks into a “community hub for outdoor recreation and learning,” said said Karen Sparks, the executive director of Wesley Clover Parks. Calling the parks “the heart of the equestrian community,” in Ottawa, Sparks and Matthews went on to highlight other outdoor activity opportunities at the park, including cross country ski trails and a nearby biking trail. There are also plans to build soccer fields in partnership with local clubs.

Canadian country music singer Shania Twain will perform at Wesley Clover Field on June 27, in the first concert ever held at the west-end equestrian park. The concert is part of Twain’s farewell “Rock this Country” tour across 40 cities in North America. Twain is leading the charge to help turn Wesley Clover Parks into a major concert destination, said Wesley Clover Park representatives on March 4. The concert is expected to attract about 25,000 fans, but the venue has the capacity to handle as many as 35,000 people. As Wesley Clover Parks first major event, the concert could be one of the Top 5 biggest shows ever held in the Ottawa area, said Ken Craig, concert promoter and entertainment advisor for the parks during the Shania Twain concert announcement. Though major infrastructure work remains to be done at the parks, plans are already in the works to make use of the existing campgrounds for future concerts. “(The Shania Twain concert) is only a one-day event but our goal at Wesley Clover Parks and on the board of directors is to make this into a festival site with camping,” he said. There are 176 camping spots now, but a massive increase is planned, he said. “I can’t give you a date, maybe 2016, maybe 2017, but our goal right now is to host 20,000 to 25,000 campers on a festival site,” said Craig. Wesley Clover Parks is expected to join other concert venues in the city, such as the Canadian Tire Centre, TD Place and the War Museum grounds to make Ottawa a destination for large touring acts, said Deputy Mayor Mark Taylor. “Absolutely, that’s our goal,”

Two studies on the South March Highlands south-east of Terry Fox Drive show that development will be “very challenging” but is expected to proceed nonetheless, says an Ottawa city planner. The results of studies on drainage and Blanding’s turtles were presented to about 50 attendees of a public meeting on March 4 held by Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson with city planners. Results of the Blanding’s © SBSI 2015 turtle study showing the endangered species is threatened with local extinction were presented at a public meeting in Kanata in 2013, while the

stormwater management study was recently completed. The stormwater study aimed to determine the capacity of the Shirley’s Brook and Watt’s Creek sub-watersheds to take on water, and create an accurate model to test potential drainage solutions. The original plan for the development of the area, established about 25 years ago, was to take stormwater from approximately 150 hectares of land that naturally drains into the Shirley’s Brook system and divert it to the Watt’s Creek system, said city engineer Darlene Conway. “When you do that, it has a lot of impacts,” she said, on things like erosion, flooding and fisheries.
“The city decided, ‘Well we better do a study to get a better understanding of what’s happening now pre-diversion,’” she said. The draft report of the study showed that both the Shirley’s Brook and Watt’s Creek systems are in “a relatively fragile state” due to development of nearby land. Under existing conditions, both systems are expected to degrade as they recalibrate themselves. “This process represents a lengthy evolution to a new form in response to land use changes that have occurred todate,” states the report. Any alteration to flow could impair the process of stabilization, which could affect infrastructure, floodlines and organisms that depend on the aquatic environment, it states.

Area could have been great park: advocate Continued from page 24
But while the area’s drainage systems are fragile, they do not require any immediate remedial actions, said Conway. “It’s not to say that, the development can’t proceed,” she said. “The purpose of providing that information was to ensure that the proponent of this development is aware of that, and that the city is going to be looking at how any additional impacts are addressed.” The study reports that the Watts Creek system, through the Beaver Pond, has some capacity available to take on more water, said Conway. Enough data has been collected to create an accurate model with which developers could test their drainage solutions, she said, which will have to deal with the water systems’ existing fragility. But it’s still a complicated issue to deal with, she said. Combined with concerns over the endangered Blanding’s turtles, the site is very difficult to develop on, said Nick Stow, a biologist and senior planner with the city. “This is one of the most challenging properties in Ottawa to develop because of the terrain, which is very rocky, because of the stormwater constraints that have to be considered, and because of the species at risk that are found on the site and around the site,” said Stow. “It’s a very challenging site. That doesn’t mean it can’t be done,” he said. “Development has been approved in principle, so we anticipate at some point it will proceed,” said Stow. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said she is confident that a drainage solution can be found, but said finding a solution for preserving the Blanding’s turtle population will be more difficult. “We want to try to make sure that they (developers) minimize the impact on (the area),” she said. “There is going to be some impact, there is no question about that.” The next step is for KNL, the developer that owns the land, to submit their solutions to the city and Ontario’s Ministry of Natural Resources to seek approvals to go ahead with development, said Wilkinson. “I guess we just have to save as much as we can of the natural environment,” said former Kana-

City engineer Darlene Conway responds to questions during a public meeting on the results of drainage and Blanding’s turtle studies in the South March Highlands owned by KNL Developments on March 4. ta resident Christopher Busby after the March 4 meeting. Busby, now a resident in the Carp Hills, used to live in Kanata Lakes just south of the South March Highlands site slated for development.
He has been an advocate for the preservation of the natural environment there for more than 10 years. Just two years ago, there was still hope that KNL would not be allowed to develop there, he said. “But now, it looks as if it’s a foregone conclusion,” he said. With that development comes greater concern for the area’s Blanding’s turtle population. Busby has a particularly strong relationship with the species, as Blanding’s turtles, along with snapping turtles and painted turtles, all come to lay their eggs in his backyard every year. “Three months later, like clockwork, in the first week of September, the hatchlings come out about the size of a peach core,” he said. “They’ve gone from inside a shell, they crawl up through the dirt and they waddle down through the grass and jump in the pond, and then they go to the bottom of the pond and they (wait out the winter season).

Mozart’s most exuberant comedy, reimagined.
Corner lots Where the minimum lot size is 665m2, corner lots can be divided into two to create two small detached homes, one facing each street. The proposed new zoning will allow the required minimum lot size to be halved in those circumstances (although never to less than 325m2), provided the minimum lot width is respected. Long semi-detached dwellings The “long semidetached” (one unit in front of the other rather than side-by-side) will be permitted. Very large homes No limits are recommended to square footage. New zoning regulations for wide lots (greater than 36m in width) include greater side yard setbacks (one-third of the lot width on one side, 4.5m on the other), limiting the façade to only 60% of the width where a building is allowed, and requiring a setback of at least 3 m for any further part of the house. Further, no garage or carport would be allowed closer to the front-lot line than the front wall of the house. The proposed zoning changes are scheduled to be considered at the Planning Committee on April 14, 2015. Please note that current building configurations will be grandfathered. The revised zoning amendments will be on projects moving forward. R0013172026-0312

Military medical team arrives home from first Ebola mission Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Thirty-seven military personnel arrived in Ottawa late last week after waging a different kind of battle overseas. The team of doctors, nurses, medical technicians, physician assistants and support personnel – the majority of them from 2 Field Ambulance and 1 Canadian Field Hospital at CFB Petawawa – spent more than two months in the West African nation of Sierra Leone providing medical care to local and international healthcare workers infected with or exposed to Ebola, a rare but often deadly viral disease that has no cure. “They were treating healthcare workers who had or were suspected to have Ebola virus disease,� said Maj Nicole Meszaros, spokeswoman for Canadian Forces Heath Services, who is based at the National Defence Medical
Centre in the Riverside Park community of Ottawa. Their mission, known as Operation Sirona, was groundbreaking in many ways. “We definitely do humanitarian missions, but they tend to have medical support included in those. But they also tend to have other elements like engineering components (within) those task forces,� Meszaros said the day the military members flew in to the Canada Reception Centre at the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport on March 6. “But this is the only one in recent memory that’s been exclusively medical.� The Canadian Armed Forces team first underwent predeployment training at CFB Petawawa for the mission before flying out from CFB Trenton to the United Kingdom on Dec. 6. While in the U.K., they underwent extensive preparation at an army medical training
DEPARTMENT OF NATIONAL DEFENCE/SUBMITTED
Canadian Armed Forces medical personnel dress in protective gear before treating Ebola patients at the Kerry Town Treatment Unit in Sierra Leone. The first group of Canadian military personnel to go overseas to work with Ebola patients in West Africa returned on March 6. centre outside York, practising decontamination techniques and medical procedures, such as taking blood samples while wearing full protective gear, including face shields.
Ebola is a potentially deadly viral infection that can lead to internal bleeding and organ failure in humans and animals, according to Public Health Ontario. The virus is largely
spread by direct contact with infected bodily fluids and contaminated objects, rather than through casual contact, the Canadian Red Cross said on its website. While there, they also learned from experts in infectious disease, including Ebola, as well as from health-care workers who have experience on the ground in Sierra Leone. The Canadian military personnel also put their training into practice at a mock Ebola medical treatment facility. Their lessons included language and cultural training. In late December they deployed to the Kerry Town Treatment Unit, located just outside Freetown, Sierra Leone’s capital city. The unit is part of a larger complex that was opened by the British last November to contain the spread of Ebola in Sierra Leone, where transmission of the disease continues to be widespread. The current out-
break is said to be the deadliest since the discovery of the virus in 1976. There have been more than 23,900 reported confirmed, probable and suspected cases of Ebola, and more than 9,800 reported deaths, largely in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea, according to the World Health Organization’s most recent statistics. Before leaving Sierra Leone, the Canadians were replaced by another group of Canadian military medical personnel on Feb. 20. The replacements flew out of CFB Trenton on Jan. 29 and will spend the next two months working alongside the British. A third contingent of Canadian military personnel will prepare in the coming weeks to deploy overseas to Sierra Leone and replace the second medical team. Departure and arrival dates have not yet been determined.

Broken water mains prompt road, school closures Problem on Riverside Drive snarled traffic for entire day Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Two separate cases of water-main troubles forced the day-long closure of Riverview Alternative School and a section of Riverside Drive on Monday. A broken water main prompted Ottawa police to issue a traffic advisory prior to the start of the commute on March 9 urging motorists to avoid Riverside Drive northbound and southbound after it was closed to traffic between Industrial Avenue and Tremblay Road. Riverside Drive was reopened Tuesday morning. The closure resulted in significant traffic delays for morning and afternoon commuters, who were forced to navigate detours to access Highway 417 off-ramps at Vanier Parkway
and Riverside Drive. Northbound access to Highway 417 ramps from Riverside Drive was also restricted. When asked what caused the break in the municipal water main, Tammy Rose, manager of the city’s drinking water service, said in an email sent Monday afternoon that “city crews are working to isolate the damaged section of the pipe so that an assessment can be made. Once that assessment is complete, a more accurate estimate of the time to repair can be made.” MORE WATER MAIN PROBLEMS
A separate broken water main prompted the day-long closure of Riverview Alternative School on Knox Crescent in the Riverview Park community, including its onsite
daycare centre, Andrew Fleck Child Care Services. The city alerted school officials on Monday, March 9, at around 6:50 a.m. that the school’s water would have to be shut off due to a nearby broken municipal water main, said Sharlene Hunter, spokeswoman for the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board. As a result, the school was closed for the day. “There was no damage to the school,” Hunter said of the broken water main. City staff estimated a repair time of approximately 12 hours, but about eight hours later, around 3 p.m., the school board announced the water had been turned back on and the school would re-open in time for regular classes on Tuesday, March 10. The cause of the break was not known before press time.

Two different broken water mains had city crews busy and prompted the closure of a portion of Riverside Drive and Riverview Alternative School on March 9. The school, which did not have access to water, was expected to re-open on March 10.

Dragon boat fest generating buzz with concert lineup Several Canadian music acts slated to play over four days at Mooney’s Bay Park Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Though Ottawa remains hunkered down in the snow and cold, things are heating up for the Tim Hortons Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival with the recent announcement of its concert lineup which includes several Canadian acts. Canadian bands Tokyo Police Club, Hey Rosetta!, Dan Mangan + Blacksmith, Rural Alberta Advantage and Yukon Blonde, among others, will headline at the largest dragon boat festival and competition in North America, which takes over Mooney’s Bay Park June 25 to 28, festival organizers announced March 2. “We definitely work toward a lot of Canadian acts, a lot of Canadian bands,” said John Brooman, president and chief executive officer of the festival and the Ottawa Dragon Boat
Foundation. “But what we’re most excited about really is the fact that we’ve got kind of an even lineup right across the four days,” he said, adding that he personally is looking forward to seeing Hey Rosetta!, which organizers have been trying to bring to the festival for several years. “Each and every day is solid and we’re really, really happy with that.

Acts at last year’s event included the Sheepdogs, Arkells, Stars and Hey Ocean. The event has come a long way since its launch in 1994 with 25 dragon boat teams,

and Brooman said organizers have worked hard to build the festival – which now relies on about 600 volunteers – over the years by trying out different ideas. One year a professional table tennis tournament was incorporated within the festival. “I think the idea of the dragon boat festival is just the
fact that there’s so many offerings on the site for people,” Brooman said. “There’s nothing else kind of like it in the city that we know of.” Late last month, festival organizers announced the performers and presenters who will be entertaining families in the children’s area of the festival. New this year will be Radical Science, The Great Balanzo of Acme Circus and bicycle stuntman Chris Clark. Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo, Lil John the Clown, the Company of Fools and Canadian Raptor Conservancy experts, who will put on a birds of prey flight show, will be returning for another year. “It’s nice, well-rounded kids’ entertainment throughout the whole weekend,” Brooman said. The free family fun will also feature an eight-metre inflatable slide, an obstacle course, a Smurf bouncer, a bubbles bouncy castle, magician Michael Bourada and the Paddling Puppeteers will do

some storytelling. Children’s programming was first offered last year, and Brooman said at the time the entire event is like having a children’s festival within a music festival within a sporting festival within a fundraiser. “There’s something for everybody on this site,” he said, adding there will also be more than 50 concessions and exhibitors this year, as well as two bars. “It’s the largest free event in the city.” About 70,000 visitors flocked to the festival at the park in 2014 to watch about 5,000 people on approximately 195 dragon boat teams race in competitive, corporate and community categories. The festival has raised more than $3 million for charities since 1998 thanks to the support of festival-goers and dragon boat teams, which have the opportunity to raise funds for charitable organizations selected by organizers.

There are 45 curling clubs and 15,000 curlers in the Ottawa region, according to the Ottawa Valley Curling Association. The Olympic curling trials arrive in Ottawa in 2017.
It’s no secret the city has been working hard to sweep as many events into Ottawa as possible for Canada’s 150th birthday, and the 2017 Roar of the Rings Olympic curling trials is just another point on the scoreboard. So says Innes Coun. Jody Mitic, the city’s first sports commissioner. “With the 150th anniversary, the mayor’s goal and council’s goal is to have as many events as possible, and this is just another feather in our cap,” he said. The Olympic trials will be held at the Canadian Tire Place in Kanata, and Mitic expects the event to generate as much as $20 million in economic activity across the city. “We’re looking at over 8,000 visitors to Ottawa,” Mitic said. “This is major exposure for Ottawa nation-wide.” The trials will determine which Canadian teams will compete at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Elaine Brimicombe of the
Ottawa Valley Curling Association said her group, which represents 45 curling clubs across the region, will organize about 600 volunteers to help run the event. She said the trials are a fantastic opportunity to showcase the region’s curling community, which numbers around 15,000 recreational and competitive participants. “It’s very social, you curl against somebody and if you’re the winner you buy your opponent a drink, whether it’s a coffee or a beer,” she said. “You chat afterwards; you spend some time getting to know your opponent.” Not to mention, having the trials in town is great fun for those who love the sport. “They’ll be able to go and see the best curlers in Canada and be up close and see them live,” Brimicombe said. “To have the Olympic trials in the nation’s capital on our 150th anniversary, that’s really exceptional.” The Senators Sports and Entertainment group led the bid to bring the Curling Canada event to the city, with help from Ottawa Tourism, the
province and the city. As sports commissioner, Mitic said the two sporting events residents most often request are Ultimate Fighting and curling. “I had an eight-year-old come up to me and say, ‘When am I going to get some curling events?’” he said. Now the city can look forward to one of the biggest in the country. Ottawa adopted a policy of “bid more, win more, host more” in 2011, funnelling money into its major events office to attract more national and international events to the city, particularly in 2017. To that end, Ottawa has already landed the 2017 and 2018 Canadian Track and Field Championships, which will take place at the Terry Fox facility at Mooney’s Bay, the 2017 Canadian Videogame Awards, and the Association of Municipalities Ontario annual conference from 2017 to 2020. The FIFA Women’s World Cup will come to the capital later this year and the Tim Hortons Brier curling tournament is planned for 2016.
Duo prepares for a walk to remember brier.dodge@metroland.com
Climbing Mount Everest pales in comparison to what families living with a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease go through. “Watching the person you know fade away, it’s heartwrenching to see that happen,” said Arlene Gregoire. Gregoire and Anda Bruinsma were set to start a hike on the Appalachian Trail on March 9 – which Bruinsma said is the equivalent elevation and descent as hiking Mount Everest 16 times. They’re doing the walk – which they’ve titled A Walk to Remember – to raise money in support of people with Alzheimer’s disease. The pair, who met on a 2011 Everest climb, have hiked together since then. They decided three years ago to take on the massive trek, and scheduled it just after Gregoire’s retirement. “I said, ‘Let’s do something
really epic,’” said Bruinsma, whose late mother suffered from dementia. Gregoire, a Kanata Lakes resident, retired this winter from her role as Ottawa’s chief building official, and launched right into preparations for the trip with Bruisma, who is well known in her neighbourhood as the Cumberland Community Association president. The walk will take them six months, with the pair walking about 20 kilometers a day under their 16-kilogram packs. Only about one in four people who set out to complete the trail actually finish it, according to the Appalachian Trail Conservancy. They’re prepared and experienced hikers, however, who don’t have every intention of finishing what they set out to do. Their husbands will meet them several times throughout, mostly to swap out seasonal and well-used gear and restock them with food. “It’s really far, and it’s really long, so you hope you can

The trail is 2189.2 miles long – 3,523 kilometres
Pet Adoptions

Meet Hera (A176504), a female Palomino/Rex mix rabbit who is currently waiting for her hoppily ever after. Hera is an OHS Brightening Lives volunteer and has travelled to several facilities in the Ottawa region, bringing companionship to people in long-term care facilities. While out on her many visits in the community, Hera has been wonderful, making everyone fall in love with her. She is very social and affectionate and she really likes to be held. At one of her visits in January, Hera was petted by more than 20 students and remained calm and quiet the entire time while winning over little hearts! She is fun and curious and would make a wonderful companion for a family of all ages. For more information on Hera and all the adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd. Check out our website at www.ottawahumane. ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.
– so the women aim to raise $218,920 over the six months it’ll take to complete. Half the money will be donated to the Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County, and the other half will be donated to the national society
to go towards research. When someone in the family has Alzheimer’s disease, “you’re helpless,” said Gregoire, who has two friends whose mothers were diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. “It makes you realize how
lucky you are and blessed,” she said. Bruisnma said there is a need for research into the disease. The Alzheimer Society of Canada says 72 per cent of all diagnoses are women. “Alzheimer’s kind of falls off the table, but it affects everybody,” she said. Many diagnosed require full-time care and the effects ripple through every member of the family. They both hope they’ll be able to see donations pour in when they get the chance to hook their cellphones up to Wi-Fi connections; the Alzeimer Society will update the totals raised every Monday morning. To follow Gregoire and Bruinsma’s 3,523-kilometre trek or to donate towards their fundraiser, visit 2015appalachiantrail.jimdo.com. They can also be followed on Twitter at the handle @ATwalkon. Metroland Media will publish updates on their trek during the six months they are gone.

Pawsitive winter activities for you and your dog
0312.R0013170743
OK, so you’re feeling fed up. You want to be the best pet owner for your dog and you know that means providing plenty of exercise and stimulating activities each day. But let’s face it – that’s not the easiest thing to do during a winter like this one. The walking paths and trails are buried in snow, you’re up to your knees trying to walk through the park, and the sidewalks are becoming more and more difficult to distinguish from the snow banks. The roads are covered in salt and, honestly, your dog seems just as cold and miserable as you when you assume your winter warrior persona and head out to endure a barely bearable February stroll. Good news: You don’t have to do this! There are plenty of alternatives to simply walking the dog each day through the winter. If you’re looking to try something – anything – else, here are some ideas to help keep your pet happy and healthy until the sunshine and green grass return. • Indoor games: Many dogs can easily learn to play hide-and-seek with you. Games
like this provide some indoor exercise, as well as mental stimulation and fun, for your pet and your family! • New toys: Stock up on toys that are interactive and stimulating for your pup. Tug toys, for example, will provide fun, exercise, and interaction. Stuffable toys that make your dog think and work to get to a treat are also great, but make sure you’re not overcompensating fewer walks with far more treats! • Nose work: Challenge Rover’s nose by hiding treats throughout the house for him to search for; create an obstacle course to be sniffed through to find his dinner; or create interactive challenges for your dog by hiding a treat under one of several covers, and praising him when he finds it. • Outings: Next time you’re heading out to your local pet store or animal shelter, take your dog with you. He’ll be excited to get out of the house, see and sniff new people and animals, and show off some of his good manners and

obedience training in hopes of coming home with a new toy or treat. • Join a class Take your dog’s training to the next level by joining a new obedience or agility class. This will provide a regular outing for both you and your dog to look forward to each week, and give you new interactive tricks to practice together at home. • Plan a FUN outdoor activity: Find a scenic, pet-friendly location for snow shoeing, crosscountry skiing, or winter hiking. Invite some friends along to make for an enjoyable group activity. • Spice up the walk: Alternate between walking and jogging with your dog every 10 minutes or so. This will help keep things interesting for your pup, and it will help keep both of you feeling warmer while you’re out. Pausing the walk for snowball fetch is another exciting activity for your dog, and you don’t have to worry about favourite dog toys getting lost in the snow!
Charlie Hello everyone, my name is Charlie and I am a 2.5 year old shih tzu! I acquired a nickname VERY quickly as a puppy from my owners- ‘The Sock Bandit’. I was not interested in the stuffed animals and rope toys from my owners, I was only interested in their socks! It is very hard for my owners to find a matching pair of socks in the morning, because I hide them in my toy bin and bed.
