bus operator “kind of laughed and then sighed.” “She said if everyone asked for it, she would have to let people off all over the route and that she’d have to make exceptions for everyone if they asked,” Douglas said. When a surprised Douglas responded that it was after 7 p.m., when the service kicks in, the bus operator said the program is “only for people in danger.” “She asked me if I was in danger and I said, ‘Well, actually, yes, my neighbourhood is dangerous. It’s nice, but it’s not the greatest neighbourhood,” Douglas said.

News - OC Transpo is investigating after a bus driver laughed at a passenger and refused to let her off at a “safe stop.” Passengers are supposed to be able to ask bus drivers to let them off at a spot other than a bus stop after 7 p.m. OC Transpo began promoting the program in December after a number of highly-publicized sexual assaults at transit stations. But when Carleton University student Sarah Douglas asked to disembark at Rideau and Cobourg streets around 9 p.m. on Sunday evening, the

where children go to school has some parents worried. One parent at the meeting said that having his kids all go to the same school is “integral for their success,” and that having one child start kindergarten in a different school from his siblings would cause undue strain on the family. However, trustees voted against supporting a “grandfathering” amendment that would allow siblings to attend the school their older siblings attended, as staff indicated that could hurt Gowling’s immersion program, and increase transportation costs. Trustee Shirley Seward, who has spearheaded the project, said the concerns of the majority of residents have been dealt with, but vowed to help those families who still have concerns. During the meeting, trustees discussed the growing trend towards early French immersion programs, saying that more children are actually attending French immersion programs in kindergarten than English programs. While some trustees expressed concern for English programs, trustee Theresa Kavanagh said the board should go with the trend.

whole meeting, ending in a motion to move forward with a staff recommendation to implement the program at W.E. Gowling. The motion passed unanimously, and the issue will now go to the board for ratification. More than twenty community members were on hand at the meeting, most of which came to listen to trustees’ discussion on the topic. Members from the Parents for Early French Immersion at W.E. Gowling Public School group were a delegation at the meeting, highlighting their support and indicating that their own survey of parents showed the majority of families would sign their children up for the French immersion in kindergarten. However, two other delegations highlighted the biggest problem some parents have with the proposal: it has the potential to split siblings into different schools due to changing English and French program boundaries. The idea to start the program at Gowling began as a way to increase student numbers, and reduce the overflowing student population at nearby Agincourt Public School. While school board staff believe the EFI program will accomplish that, the change in boundaries that govern

Proposed infill rules remove parking requirement Conformity to streetscape character to be the priority for infill homes Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - The city is shaking up the way infill homes are built – including removing the requirement for a parking space. Constant neighbourhood strife over larger, denser homes being built where there was no home – or a residence that housed fewer people – has led the city’s planning department to spend almost four years working on new rules to help those infill homes fit into their communities in inner urban wards (Capital, Kitchissippi, Rideau-Rockcliffe, Rideau-Vanier and Somerset). The new rules planners are proposing will fundamentally alter the process of building a new infill home from the start of the project. From eliminating the parking requirement to ensuring infill homes match their neighbours, the proposed rules are aimed at making streetscapes look more cohesive. While infill design used to begin with the parking space, which was required, city planners want the major requirement and starting point to be the streetscape from now on. The new rules can be summed up as “your street gives you your rules,” the planning report states. The new infill rules are a proposal at this point; the planning committee was set to deliberate the proposal on March 25, after this newspaper’s deadline. If the changes are approved, landowners and architects wanting to build an infill home would first have to look at the 21 lots surrounding the property to be developed and use those observations to create a starting point for what their new home could look like. Streetscape attributes that must be

respected include: • Front-yard setbacks, as well as corner and side yards • Vehicle access (driveway or rear lane) • Parking space type and location on the lot • Location and use of walkways • Front-yard landscaping • Front door orientation • Visual prominence of the front wall An analysis of the street’s character doesn’t include the style of architecture. Observing the 21 neighbouring homes would determine which dominant “character groups” apply to the lot to be developed. Within each character group, there are a number of options for development to permit flexibility, according to the planning report; for instance, there are four character groups describing parking patterns. One of the main streetscape elements to be protected is how far back a home is set from the street. The new rule would require the front setback to be the average of the abutting lots’ setbacks, up to a maximum of six metres. In places where the zoning allows a smaller, three-metre setback, the zoning would be amended to reflect the new rule. Only after the streetscape attributes have been incorporated would a parking space be allowed. It is no longer a requirement to provide a parking space for new low-rise homes in inner-urban wards. Although builders would be allowed to provide parking, an obligation to provide parking would only kick in for dwellings with more than 12 units. Importantly, the new rules would extend to existing homes if additions are added. Previously, infill guide-

lines only applied to the construction of new homes. Parking was the starting point of city’s first effort to alter infill building in 2012 and at that time, Capital Coun. David Chernushenko requested there be a closer look at parking on small lots in his ward. The city commissioned a $30,000 study on the matter, of which Chernushenko paid half. The study found that although consultants could support a complete prohibition on park-

ing on small lots, that driveway ban wouldn’t necessarily support the new goal of creating a consistent neighbourhood character. Instead, the new report recommends banning parking on all small lots – under 5.6 metres – unless they have access from a laneway or are on a corner. In a technical sense, that would be accomplished by removing provisions allowing parking based on lot width and replacing them with rules to allow the same or similar types of parking as the dominant style of parking on the street.

There were seven stakeholder meetings held over 10 months to consult the public on the new rules. The consultation led to changes in the proposal, including regulations that recognize new types of home design and the issues related to corner lots, according to the report to the planning committee. The rules will require a new, fulltime employee to review completed “streetscape character analyses” over the two-term term the new rules will be reviewed on. The additional employee will be paid out of the department’s existing budget.

Old construction pit cause of LRT sinkhole: report Undocumented construction pit gave way during tunneling incident on Feb. 20 laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - An undocumented construction pit filled with loose material was the cause of the Feb. 20 sinkhole during light-rail tunnel construction in Sandy Hill. But unless a sample was drilled exactly in the middle of the eightmetre-square pit, LRT constructor Rideau Transit Group would never have known about the soil anomaly, said the consortium’s technical director Peter Lauch. RTG’s investigation found the tunnel crossed beneath a “previously excavated construction pit” under the city’s utilities. The material in the pit was “poor-quality, un-compacted backfill.” Until the collapse happened, there was no cause for concern and the construction was proceeding as expected. The surprise construction pit was much deeper than anything the city had records of for that area, which was minor: three-metre trenches for utilities, put in before the Transitway was constructed there in the early 1980s. “What we’re seeing here is an excavation that extended well below that three-metre depth and could not have been predicted,” Schepers said. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury said he’ll be asking questions to see whether there was some way to predict the incident, which didn’t result in any injuries. “For me, it’s a concern of not knowing what’s there,” Fleury said. “This just re-affirms that we could have been in the zone but a metre or so off and not capture the poor soil there. “I am not qualified to know if a metre makes a big difference (to the geo-

The roadheader diggers will then go back to deepen the tunnel in the narrower section. Despite the delay and extra work, Lauch said LRT construction is still on time overall, because digging at the other two tunnel portals is ahead of schedule. The light-rail line is set to go into service in the spring of 2018. The cost of the delay and additional work is still being calculated, but RTG is responsible for covering the cost as part of its $2.1 billion contract to construct the line between Tunney’s Pasture and Blair stations.

tiny, such as where the tunnel comes close to the foundations of buildings, Lauch said. That was something the company had already planned to do. Tunneling at the east portal, where the sinkhole occurred, had already resumed before Schepers sent a memo and report to city council on the morning of March 21 detailing the cause of the collapse. Both Lauch and Schepers said they are 100 per cent satisfied with the

technical investigation),” he said. “If it makes a difference, if it’s so critical … if really there is a relevance to the proximity and the exact location (of the tunnel), then there are other questions.” Whether the boreholes were drilled directly on the tunnel route or next to it is irrelevant, said deputy city manager Nancy Schepers. “What you’re trying to do is determine the native soils in the area,” she said. “You extrapolate between boreholes.” “Ideally, you’d do one every metre, but that doesn’t make sense,” Lauch said. “So you rely on the information you have and people with good analytical skills.” “Unless you would have drilled a borehole down right in the middle of where the sinkhole was, you wouldn’t have known,” he said. Throughout construction, Rideau Transit Group actually did drill a number of supplementary boreholes to confirm soil conditions along the tunnel route – just not at the Waller Street and Laurier Avenue location where the sinkhole occurred. After the collapse, six more boreholes were drilled around Laurier Avenue to reconfirm rock conditions and another borehole was drilled in the sinkhole. RTG will continue to drill extra boreholes along the rest of the tunnel route in areas that warrant more scru-

level of information they have about geotechnical conditions on the tunnel alignment, as well as the engineering experts who are guiding the project. The soil above the section of tunnel near the sinkhole is being propped up by “umbrella piping”: three layers of pipes fanned in an arch to give structural support to the roof of the tunnel. As digging continues, RTG will bore a smaller-diameter tunnel to ensure there is at least two metres of bedrock above the tunnel until the route descends deeper underground on the north side of Laurier Avenue.

Fundraising kicks off for new health centre branch Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

Community - The Somerset West Community Health Centre is hoping to raise $500,000 by the time the doors swing open on its new clinic in Hintonburg in September. The fundraising campaign for the health centre’s Rosemount Avenue branch kicked off on March 20, and will continue until the money is raised. Renovations are already well underway at the new branch, which will allow the organization to serve more clients while increasing convenience for those living in the west end of the health centre’s coverage area. The total budget for the Rosemount branch is $6 million, with funds already pledged from both the city

and the Champlain Local Health Integration Network. “The launch went very well,” said Rosemary Jones, research development manager at the health centre. “We had a lot of community leaders putting their verbal support behind (the campaign).” The health centre, based at 55 Eccles St., plans to hold small events in the community in support of the campaign, coupled with a few large fundraisers. Jones said the $500,000 will see the Rosemount building gain a training kitchen for community and infant health programming, supplies and computers, and articles for a children’s room. The original branch will also see renovations aimed at increasing waiting room space, but only after the doors open at Rosemount. “We’re really just bringing the building up to meet what the community expects of us, while delivering more programs more efficiently,” said Jones, adding that staffing levels will remain the same,

despite being spread over two locations. The 55 Eccles St. location is currently at capacity with 1,400 registered clients. Jones said the Rosemount branch will allow the health centre to serve 1,100 more. With the clinic and its offices occupying the top two floors of 30 Rosemount Ave., the basement area will be available for rent, with the health centre hoping to recoup some of the cost of their ongoing operations through that. With a grand opening scheduled for Sept. 18, Jones said clients will be brought through the facility in the days and weeks beforehand, in order to ensure the clinic operates smoothly. Updates on the fundraising target, as well as information on community fundraising events, will be posted at swchc.on.ca. “We’re adamant that this is a community campaign,” said Jones. “Whether it’s a dollar or a thousand dollars, every donation will make a difference.”

Care for your feet and legs during travel and prolonged periods of inactivity

Care for your feet and legs during travel and prolonged periods of inactivity Did you know that travel – and other prolonged periods of inactivity from standing or sitting – can have a negative impact on the health of your feet and legs? Fortunately, there are steps you can take to safeguard against those lengthy times of inactivity, with one particularly satisfying solution! When you travel or are otherwise inactive for long periods of time, such as for five hours or more, the time that you spend sitting without stretching or exercising can have a detrimental effect on your feet and legs. Sitting for extended periods in a confined space doesn’t allow you to move your leg muscles, and these are the same muscles that help the blood make its way back to the heart. As the hours of inactivity wear on, that period of dormancy slows the blood’s circulation, which can result in discomfort, swelling, and pain in the legs, feet and ankles. The longer you are confined without being able to move and stretch, the worse

you are likely to feel. Serious health consequences can occur from such extended times of idleness. Remedies to inactivity during travel and other lengthy durations of sitting can simply include making efforts to move and stretch periodically, such as walking the aisles while onboard planes and trains. Other precautions include drinking fluids, particularly when flying; avoiding alcohol; trying not to sit in the same position overly long; and wearing comfortable clothes and shoes as opposed to tightfitting clothing and uncomfortable footwear like high heels. There also happens to be a surprising and wonderful solution that can help alleviate all those unpleasant effects of prolonged inactivity to your feet and legs: compression stockings! Compression stockings apply gradient compression to the legs. Gradient compression helps induce blood flow, which in turn prevents the swelling and discomfort that can occur in your feet and legs during lengthy periods of inactivity. Compression stockings also help

with the control of varicose veins, venous disease, and lymphedema disorders. If you travel or have tired, aching legs because of too much time spent standing or sitting, solutions await you at BioPed Foot & Lower Limb Care where you will find custom orthotics, footwear, lower limb bracing and compression stockings. BioPed brings you to experts in orthotics, footwear and pedorthic care. BioPed certified pedorthists specialize in assessing and providing nonsurgical treatment for conditions related to the functions and health of your feet and lower limbs. BioPed pedorthists can fit men and women of all shapes and sizes with medical grade or over-the-counter compression products. Of particular interest, BioPed sells JOBST® brand compression stockings. JOBST® is a world leader in medical gradient compression garments and is ideal for wearing while on the plane or other situations that have you sitting or standing for prolonged periods of time. Whether for business, sport or casual attire, at BioPed, you’ll discover a fine selection of colours and styles of compression stockings to suit your needs and preferences. BioPed has 4 clinics in Ottawa – located in Barrhaven, Kanata, Orleans or at the Westgate shopping centre. Head to their website: bioped.com for location and hours of operation.

The Ottawa Student Transportation Authority will hold a number of consultations across the city concerning proposed bell time changes for all Ottawa-area schools.

Transportation authority looking at changes to school bell times Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - The Ottawa Student Transportation Authority is proposing to make bell time changes for all Ottawa-area schools starting in September 2015. The moves would affect both the public and Catholic school boards and would involve changes to walking zones for certain schools. As a result, the authority will launch a number of public consultations across the city to present the changes to parents and to hear concerns starting on April 2. According to the general manger for the authority, Vicky Kyriaco, the changes are aimed at making the organization more efficient. The authority was established in 2007 in response to the Ministry of Education’s reform on transportation, which called on school boards across the province to develop partnerships and combine transportation departments.

According to the authority’s bylaws, Kyriaco said, it can make bell time changes at schools of up to 10 minutes before needing to seek approval with the respective board. Since these changes are greater than 10 minutes, the authority will seek a decision from both school boards in December 2014. The route changes will allow for one bus to take students to three different schools, saving the boards an estimated $3.3 million. These cost-savings, Kyriaco said, are based on what the authority believes is the most efficient system for buses and could change depending on feedback received at the consultations. According to the public school board, as many as 38,000 to 40,000 students require daily transportation to and from school. The walking distance is currently 800 metres for kindergarten children and 1.6 kilometres for grades 1 to 8. Grades 9 through 12 must walk if a student lives

within 3.2 km of their school. Parents are encouraged to view the maps, and depending on the routes, point out concerns but there is little flexibility for changes to be made. The consultations, which begin in April, will present specific plans to specific neighbourhood school zones. “The most important message is that it is not written in stone, we do want to hear from the school communities,” Kyriaco said. The changes follow a study of existing routes conducted by an outside firm that evaluated and highlighted potential safety hazards. “There would be little which would surprise us there,” Kyriaco said. The comments, she said, would still be welcome, because depending on the concern, any highlighted hazards could possibly be mitigated, adding the authority would work with the city to make certain street intersections more pedestrian-friendly. Currently the proposed bell time changes and new walk zones are available to view at ottawaschoolbus.ca. An online survey is also available on the website for parents to fill out. The consultations begin at Brookfield High School on April 2. The meeting starts at 7 p.m. A full list of where and when the other 27 consultations will take place is available at ottawaschoolbus.ca/ policies/transformation/meetings. Kyriaco said regardless of a particular meeting date, parents can attend any meeting in the city to send in comments. The authority will also post the presentation information online.

Transit users want more safety, voice overall satisfaction Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - A recent survey done by OC Transpo showed the public’s opinion of the transit provider has returned to pre-strike satisfaction, the transit commission heard on March 19. Of the just over 1,500 people surveyed, 80 per cent ranked the service as good, or very good. “These are the best numbers we’ve seen, and this tells me the confidence in OC Transpo is rising,” said transit chair Diane Deans.

This is the second highest in overall satisfaction for OC Transpo, with one other prestrike year boasting higher numbers. OC Transpo staff went on strike in December 2008 until February 2009. The telephone surveys reached both Ottawa residents who use public transit regularly, and those who do not. “We want our brand to be respected by the community as a whole,” said John Manconi, OC Transpo’s general manager. But riders still want to see improvements to the security and safety of taking public

transit. The study broke down answers by gender to highlight when both men and women saw high risk – and whether they observed actions like abuse, swearing or drinking alcohol while taking public transit. Men experience verbal threats and abuse more, while women observe aggression more and report more cases of assault against them or being threatened. Both groups said they have seen intoxication and swearing. Deans said the best places to invest in increased safety

and security measures are while people are waiting for the bus at stops, and when riding the bus at night. “I’m really pleased we added so many questions around safety and security because it helps guide this transit committee in making future decisions,” she said. The study showed that women feel safer in the presence of people, whereas men feel safer when more equipment, such as cameras, are installed. OC Transpo is currently looking at different ways to improve safety, Manconi said.

Ideas include investigating the possibly of solar panel roofs on bus stop shelters to provide lighting after dark, and dressing the around-theclock maintenance staff in uniforms that identify them as OC Transpo workers. They investigated solar panels several years ago and the cost was high, but advancements in technology could make the project more cost effective now. Roofs could also be changed to allow more light into the shelters. There are also plans to do joint patrols with the Ottawa police, using crime data to de-

termine the most at-risk areas. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson expressed concern that the findings from the survey weren’t made public ahead of time to allow residents to come and speak to the issues at the transit commission meeting. Manconi said that the data required explanations and had been compiled as a Powerpoint presentation form, which can’t be effectively distributed to the public. He added there are plans to do focus groups with women, senior and youth groups to work on future safety plans.

Safety initiative promotion began back in December is too many to be treated like Douglas was. “It shows an ignorance of women’s perceptions of safety,” Lalonde said. While the top brass at OC Transpo have recently shown a willingness to talk to Hollaback about safety initiatives, Lalonde wondered if that message was trickling down to bus drivers. Transit commission chairwoman Coun. Diane Deans insisted the “culture of safety” she and OC Transpo general manager John Manconi promote is having an impact on the frontline. “I think we’re setting the tone,” she said. Douglas said it’s the first time she’s had an issue using the safe stop program, which she has taken advantage of about six or seven times since January. While some drivers have told her it’s not safe to let her off at the exact spot she asked for because of traffic, they have always let her off as

Less than two weeks earlier, police charged a 27-yearold man with sexual assault after a woman was assaulted blocks away, at Wilbrod and Chapel streets. When the driver retorted with “If you think so,” Douglas said she was taking note of the bus number to report the incident.  She got off the bus at the regular stop, about 250 metres away from the intersection near where she asked to be let off. “I was in shock,” Douglas said. “This is a program and they have announcements on the bus that you hear sometimes … You don’t have to give justifications for why you want to get off the bus.” Douglas said she was disappointed the bus driver who refused to let her use a safe stop was a woman. “As a woman, you kind of empathize with other women. You know the extra precau-

tions we take before we head out at night. You know – having your cell phone in one hand and your car keys in the other, being prepared to run.” The interaction doesn’t meet OC Transpo’s customer service expectations, David Pepper, OC Transpo’s manager of business and operational services, wrote in an email. “Upon receipt of this customer’s complaint, OC Transpo immediately began investigating the concerns raised by the customer in order to take the necessary corrective action(s),” Pepper wrote. It’s the 16th complaint OC Transpo has received since a promotional push for safety initiatives began in December. It’s also not the first complaint sent to Hollaback Ottawa. The group has been working to build awareness that street harassment is an issue and Hollaback organizer Julie Lalonde said one person

For the greater good

espite individual concerns people might have, Ottawa residents should support efforts by all levels of government to safeguard our public health. Two recent occurrences have raised important questions about how far our governments should go to ensure public health is safeguarded. The first involved a recent confirmed case of measles, announced earlier this month by Ottawa Public Health, that was identified in an unimmunized child who attends a school in Stittsville. The student contracted the disease while visiting the Philippines. Once a common disease, measles have been effectively eliminated in the Americas thanks to a thorough, widespread campaign of immunization. Yet in recent years, some parents have chosen not to have their children vaccinated for a variety of common diseases such as measles and chicken pox. It takes only one child travelling to a country where widespread immunization was not conducted to contract a disease like measles, bring it back to Canada and infect others who have not been vaccinated – especially young children, who are the most vulnerable. Despite widespread immunization, 122,000 people died worldwide from measles in 2012, according to the World Health Organization.

The other concern raised in Ottawa recently involved water fluoridation. The city’s board of health voted to support a campaign by the Simcoe Muskoka board of health calling on the province to take over responsibility for municipal water fluoridation. This comes as a response to votes in several towns in that region to halt the fluoridation of water, bowing to public pressure. An overwhelming amount of research shows fluoride-treated water contributes significantly to dental health, but some remain skeptical. On both of these issues, both health officials and elected representatives at all levels deserve our absolute support to ensure the wider public good is safeguarded. Vaccination is a proven, effective method of controlling disease. Despite what individuals might think about the practice, it is not a matter of respecting a person’s right to choose, it’s about respecting those who might not have a choice in the matter. Only when vaccination is nearly universal is it at its most effective. As for fluoridation, the small amounts of the substance used in our water pose an insignificant threat to human beings, but provide a significant aid to every person’s well-being. There are instances when individual interests trump those of the collective. Public health should not be one of them.

The prediction is that it will still be below zero when you read this. And April is approaching. Last year you had played your first golf game already. Everybody this year says the winter is getting to them. It’s unrelenting, they say. It’s way too long. It’s never been this long. Maybe that’s just because everybody you talk to is older than they used to be. But it’s true. This winter is relentless. People who are usually too proud to go south in the winter – because they think of themselves as tough Canadians – went south this winter. “At least it will be warmer when we come back,” they thought. It wasn’t. As I write this, there is talk again of baseball in Ottawa, new hopes that the CanAm League will bring a team to the Ottawa

Funny Town Stadium, reports that the stadium is being spruced up in readiness. It is another sign of spring, accompanied by a freezing rain warning, the possibility of snow later and concern expressed about the well-being of migratory birds. Various events are being advertised – spring flings, spring this and spring that. Auto dealers are sending about invitations to spring tune-ups, along which will go the removal snow tires. Should we, or shouldn’t we? And yet, here’s another mixed signal. We don’t have it all that bad. People suffered a lot less in our winter than in many other places. We haven’t had much in the way of freezing rain – at least, not compared with, say, Toronto. Further, we don’t have hurricanes. We don’t have floods. We don’t have earthquakes

– at least, not bad ones. We don’t have -50 C. We don’t have houses buried in snow. We don’t have alligators, hardly any bears, no sharks and no poisonous snakes. As climate goes, Ottawa lives a life of moderation – perhaps not unexpected, given our reputation for blandness. Yet people have had enough. What’s up this year? Are we being babies? What happened to Canadian toughness? As if to needle us on this point, local media from time to time locate and interview people who just love this winter and can’t get enough of it. We admire them, envy them and wish people would stop interviewing them. You expect there to be theories about our weather and there are. You are familiar with the quite persuasive studies on the effects of climate change. Climate change is not just about global warming; it is also about extreme weather and the potential for more of it. Then there are the more specific explanations – high pressures, low pressures, the Gulf Stream, the Alberta Clipper, the dreaded Polar Vortex and whatnot. These provide amusement and comfort to some people. I like a more theological approach. Ottawa is being both punished and rewarded by its

weather, a mixed signal. We don’t get to have balmy temperatures all year. We don’t get beaches and golf courses you can play in January. So we are rewarded by an absence of tidal waves, deadly snakes, crocodiles and sand all over everything. Conversely, our punishment for not having to cope with such dangers is to be cold for at least five months of the year. But not that cold. Not as cold as Alberta, for example. And for that, we get no oil. See, it all balances out. This probably makes you feel a lot better, as you head out to see if the hardware store has any more salt.

Will doorknobs go the way of the dodo?

’m a big supporter of policies that support accessibility. Not that long ago, I wrote about Ottawa’s short-sighted development plans – allowing developers to build stacked townhomes and vertical duplexes instead of the, yes, lower density, but more accessible horizontal duplexes. But what happens when cities and provinces start legislating against doorknobs in private homes? Seriously? Well, yes. Vancouver, always enjoying a leadership position on progressive issues, has altered its building code to legislate that doorknobs are no longer allowed in new home construction. The law came into effect in March. No one could argue that legislating easier-to-use levered doors makes sense for public buildings, maybe

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse even multi-unit dwellings, but private homes? Halifax, kind of the underling when it comes to innovation and progressive policy, wants to follow suit. Halifax doesn’t have control over its own building code, which is under provincial jurisdiction. But city councillors will make the case to the province to ban doorknobs in favour of levers, just as Vancouver has done. No doubt, in time, other provinces will follow suit.

Will that mean the death of the doorknob? Proponents argue that levers are more popular than doorknobs anyway – a likeable trend. But I, for one, am happy with my 1950s splitlevel and the sticky doors and doorknobs that go along with it. On principle, I think the whole thing is ridiculous. Levers are more expensive than knobs, typically, which will add to the cost of new homes, something that petty building codes changes often do.

Medical students lose locks to help fund cancer research Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - University of Ottawa medical students are going to have a few less hairs atop their heads as they aim to raise money for children’s cancer research. Smiling Over Sickness, the nonprofit, student-run organization is behind the event and organizer Tiffany Locke said she would like this year’s uOttawa Shave for a Cure: StBaldrick’s Foundation event to raise at least $10,000 more than last year. She said she hopes to collect donations by having participants shave their heads or to cut their locks to donate for wigs. The event will take place at Ottawa Health Sciences Centre on April 9. “This is a great event that gives money to Childhood Cancer Canada,” Locke said. “The money will provide education and support for children and their families, and the money will help with funding more research. “The ultimate goal is to find a cure or improve the survival rate of patients living with cancer.”

News - National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations Shawn Atleo enriched this month’s Mayor’s Breakfast, with a taste of history and moving forward as a nation. Atleo outlined a history of struggles for indigenous peoples and the strides which have been made in the relationships between First Nations and others in Canada during his March 20 speech. “We continue to struggle to find our way forward as indigenous peoples,” said Atleo. “In the last 250, going back as far as 400 years, it’s been a tremendous struggle.” As a 27th generation hereditary chief of the Ahousaht First Nation and national chief of the AFN, Atleo advocates for all First Nations with exception of Metis and Inuit, who have their own assemblies. He stressed development and understanding between indigenous people and the other cultures within this country.

National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations Shawn Atleo says awareness and understanding must be improved at the Mayor’s CX-5 GT AWD Breakfast on March 20.

Atleo. He said there should be a realization that we are all human beings, and to not only to respect people’s differences but to embrace them. Atleo recalled attending the services for the late Nelson Mandela and how he witnessed politicians from many different countries or factions coming together to share in mourning. “Canada can learn from a moment of grief in another country and the legacy of a great man like Nelson Mandela,” he said. “He (Mandela) once said, ‘The only way forward is peace.’” Despite some turbulent times during Canada’s history, Atleo believes we are in a new era of understanding and moving forward together. That it is crucial because people don’t always get along, problems arise, and relationships break down. “We’re talking about human beings on the full spectrum,” Atleo said. “With the ability to be foolish, and the ability for genius.”

Ottawa South United Force

– England English Premier League Academy Tour 2014 Memories of the recent March Break will be forever engraved in the minds of some very fortunate the OSU Force players who embarked on an ambitious and highly successful eight day OSU Force - Soccer Academy Tour of some of the world’s top soccer clubs in England. Two teams, comprising of twenty-two U14 and ten U11 boys from the club’s Force Academy travelled to England with Head Technical Coach Paul Harris and they were joined by other OSU coaching staff as well as OSU President, Bill Michalopulos, Jim Lianos, OSU GM and Hassan Nazari, Executive Director of OSU’s strategic partner in the in the USA, the Dallas Texans, who were able to conduct strategic and alliance discussions with some key English Premier clubs and people for future opportunities. The tour focussed on practicing with some of England’s most acclaimed Football Academies. Each player was coached by the very best of English Youth Academy staff at clubs including: Chelsea FC, Fulham FC, Manchester City FC and Liverpool FC. The Academy coaching sessions were run at some of England’s top sports training facilities and Academy venues. In addition, the OSU tour provided an excellent opportunity to put players and teams to the test by playing select exhibition games scheduled throughout the week against some of England’s finest young soccer hopefuls. Both teams held their own against Fulham, Wrexham and Everton Academy teams, proving that they are capable of playing and competing at the highest level and reaffirming the coaching methodology at Ottawa South United is truly first class. Between the Academy practices and exhibition games, there was time for other equally memorable activities. Visits to Arsenal’s Emirates stadium, Manchester United’s Old Trafford, Everton’s Goodison Park and an impromptu visit to Liverpool’s Anfield proved highly popular with all tour participants. As if this was not enough, the teams also watched a live English premier game and a live Championship Game, savouring the electric atmosphere and passion that is synonymous with English football and culture. There was even a little time to relax allowing the boys to take in the sights and sounds of London, Manchester and Liverpool. OSU is very proud of every player who participated and represented the club. The coaching staff received positive and sincere accolades for the standard of soccer that both teams achieved. This OSU Force exclusive professional tour of this nature, gives players an insight into English Academy Soccer and serves as benchmark the OSU’s club development.

News - After decades at its current location, Dow Honda is preparing for the move south in the hopes of installing its dealership in Nepean late this year. The move would make way for Richcraft Homes to build the tallest building in Ottawa on the current Dow Honda site at 845 Carling Ave., near Dow’s Lake. A proposal for the dealership dated March 4 confirms the sign that has been hanging on the corner of Merivale and Colonnade roads: the dealership is planning a move to 15 Colonnade. The new site would represent more than a doubling of space for the dealership over its Carling location, which has been eaten away by the widening of Carling Avenue. Media reports cite poor customer access as a major reason for the move.

The 1.8 hectare Colonnade site would provide road frontage on both Colonnade and Merivale, as the proposal outlines the intention for a 4,445 square metre dealership on its southwest corner. The dealership would include a showroom, 16 service bays, an office, storage and waiting areas. One-hundred and seven parking spaces are also proposed to the northeast of the main building. The proposed dealership would also require roadway modifications, with access from Colonnade and a right-out only egress onto Merivale. The Dow Honda website indicates a plan to move to the new site in late 2014. The move has been in the works for several years, with Richcraft buying the dealership’s Carling property in the summer of 2012. The developer’s plans for the location would set a new precedent for tall buildings

A Dow’s Honda sign is seen from Merivale road at the location the dealership proposes to move to. in Ottawa. Three mixed-use buildings are planned for the site: two 48-storey residential buildings and one 18storey building adjacent to the Carling O-Train station. The future development would contain 1,123 residential units and about 80,000 square metres of space for retail, amenity and residential uses. Six levels of underground parking are listed in the application. Main vehicle access would be from Sydney Street, with secondary access from Adeline and Carling.

Since Richcraft’s application, community members in the Little Italy area near the Carling location have expressed concern over preserving the community’s low-rise buildings. Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs has pushed for “neighbourhood lines” that would protect low-rise neighbourhoods while allowing taller building development outside of the boundary.

“This exclusive tour is in line with OSU’s long term strategic plan of developing it’s global soccer network to benefit our players, our club and our coaches. Exposing our teams and players to such famous soccer academies is not easy, one can not simply pick up the phone and make this happen. Our robust international soccer network, our alliances, our people and our club’s success over the years is what opens up these type of exclusive opportunities to our current players and to our future teams and players.

Poilievre to run in new rural Ottawa riding in 2015 jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Pierre Poilievre, currently MP for NepeanCarleton, has announced he will run in a new Rideau-Carleton riding in the 2015 federal election. Poilievre, who moved his office to Mill Street in Manotick this fall, said rural residents values align with his own. “I have found them to be similar to things I find important,” The Minister of Democratic Reform said. Elections Canada has re-

distributed ridings to better reflect growing populations, creating 30 new ridings across Canada. As part of the redistribution, Poilievre’s current Nepean-Carleton riding was split in two, creating a mainly rural Rideau-Carleton and a mainly urban Nepean riding. The riding Poilievre will represent, if elected in 2015, consists of the Carleton part of his existing riding – including the communities of Manotick, Edwards, Osgoode, Vernon and North Gower – and include Rideau – Goulbourn as well.

Poilievre said Elections Canada reviews ridings when new Census data is made available. “Ridings are meant to be limited to a population of 130,000. Because of development the population was closer to 175,000,” he said. “It’s really not as fair because MPs with larger riding populations get the same funding as an MP with less people. Not to mention, they have less representative voting power.” Poilievre said he will continue to represent the resi-

St. Patrick’s Day bylaw calls decline in Sandy Hill Area ward councillor credits Town and Gown committee for progress Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Judging by the number of calls to the city’s bylaw department concerning noise in Sandy Hill earlier this month indicate it was a tame St. Patrick’s Day this year. Steps away from the University of Ottawa, Sandy Hill is a desirable neighbourhood for both new and returning students. Because of this proximity, home owners have butted heads over issues such as noise and garbage with students renting in the neighbourhood, with thousands of calls going to the city’s bylaw office each year. Over the past two years, however, Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury’s office has found the number of calls concerning noise has declined. According to Fleury, the number of calls for this past St. Patrick’s Day weekend, 23 in total, was no more or less than what is typical for the downtown neighbourhood. The councillor credits the two-year-old Town and Gown committee as part of the reason the calls seem to be going down. “These numbers demonstrate how successful the program is,” Fleury

said. “ The committee was launched in September 2012 to serve as a forum to address and resolve issues arising from the university neighbourhood. Officials from the city, Fleury’s office, the police, landlords, the university and representative from the neighbourhood and the students federation all have a seat on the committee. The strategy from the start was geared towards education, with doorto-door campaigning, flyers and brochures allowing students to read up on everything from by-laws to the association’s monthly meetings and events. Fleury said this strategy is proving successful. “I think the education piece can’t be underplayed,” he said. “We can’t prevent every incident, but we are reducing them.” The idea to create the committee came from a few Sandy Hill residents, including Christopher Collmorgen. Collmorgen travelled to other universities in Ontario that had this type of committee to learn from them and with that knowledge, he presented the idea to Fleury and the city.

The fact that calls were down this past St. Patrick’s Day, Collmorgen said, is welcome news. “I am pleased with the progress that we have made,” he said adding that he is thankful the city, the university and the police are working together. “But now that we have dealt with the low hanging fruit, I think it is time we focus on more,” Collmorgen said. From the beginning, the resident has wanted the university to play a larger role in responsibility for both its students who live on and off-campus. To do that, he said, the push needs to come from the university’s administration. Fleury said formation of the committee has offered all the partners involved a formalized place to discuss concerns and solutions such as the door-knocking or immediate response and removal to garbage generated when students move into and out of the neighbourhood. “The reality is we have an amazing community that brings in diverse backgrounds and different incomes, in the past we have had bad examples of house conversions, or bad examples of students partying, but

Noise calls for Sandy Hill are going down, says Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury. Once a busy weekend for the ward, this past St. Patrick’s Day weekend result in no additional calls to bylaw. we need to remember sometimes it is just one residence that is affecting everyone, including students living around them,” Fleury said, adding this committee helps keep all residents in the community informed and able to act in a preventative manner. “If people aren’t informed, we can’t set an expectation,” he said. “We want to make sure the community remains interesting for families, and residents, and students to live in.

dren living inside assisted-breathing machines were a terrifying prospect for parents in those days. The 1952-53 North American epidemic was the largest in recorded history, afflicting more than 90,000 people over the course of two years, Lavigne among them. In the wake of the epidemic, a search began in earnest for a solution, powered by millions of dollars of research money donated by private citizens and governments. A vaccine, announced by Jonas Salk in 1955 following the largest field trial in history, spelled an end to the fear, but not to the challenges facing those who survived. Canada alone has approximately 125,000 polio survivors. “Not everyone has the same

symptoms,” said Lavigne. “There’s cold intolerance, muscle weakness, nerve damage, difficulty swallowing – the list goes on and on.” The widely-varied symptoms are also likely to increase as the polio survivor ages. Lavigne said she wants the members of the growing group to work together and share tactics on how best to manage the symptoms, while identifying resources in the community that can help them. Lavigne plans to speak at the Nepean-Kanata Rotary Club on April 3. The club’s parent body, Rotary International, has been fighting for the worldwide eradication of polio for years, with more than $1 billion raised for that cause.

numbers) just demonstrates a shift.” Fleury said the positive progress comes down to the partners for being engaged. “For us, starting out we didn’t know what to expect, but now we’re seeing results and that is an important thing.” The committee meets three times a year, with sub-committees meeting more frequently. For more information on the committee, sub-committees or how to get involved, contact Fleury’s office at 613-580-2482 or mathieu.fleury@ottawa.ca. Rotarian Steve Sharlow said that combating the disease in developing countries is the main focus of Rotary International, but added that survivors need support as well. “Sadly, we are becoming aware of the problems that polio survivors are experiencing,” said Sharlow. “I have, through LinkedIn, broadcast what Eileen is trying to do and it is amazing the response world-wide. Many members from various parts of the world have stated there are many who are suffering similar post-polio effects.” The Ottawa Polio Survivors Group meets on the second Monday of each month at Woodroffe United Church (located at 207 Woodroffe Ave.), from 2 to 4 p.m. Lavigne can be contacted directly by calling 613-729-6307, or by emailing elavigne@rogers.com. More information on the group can be found at poliosurvivors.org.

Community - Throughout the city there exists a wide selection of products and services aimed at seniors, but finding out about them can often be challenging. Olde Forge Community Resource Centre wants to make the introduction to those services easier through its annual spring fair, which doubles as a fundraiser for the centre. The April 24 event, modelled on last year’s successful fair, will see 38 local businesses and service providers set up shop at the Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre, with proceeds going to Olde Forge’s seniors recreation program. “The purpose is to introduce seniors and merchants from our area to each other, and let them know what’s available,” said Olde Forge

board chairwoman Mary Houston-Lambert. “We want to create a variety of opportunities for the seniors who attend.” The resource centre is intent on fundraising in order to provide services to a growing number of clients. Currently, 2,200 people are regular users of Olde Forge’s facilities and programs. “The number of people seeking these resources is growing, just as the number of seniors in our society is growing,” said Houston-Lambert. “We had over 2,500 calls last year from people seeking help.” Olde Forge is a partner of the city’s 211 service, where calls are referred to the centre if the city can’t provide the information the caller needs. The centre receives base funding from the city and the Champlain Local Health Integration Network, and has to apply each year for that fund-

ing. Houston-Lambert said that fundraisers like this and donations from supporters are essential to meet the demand for their programs. Among those programs are volunteer drivers to take seniors to appointments, weekly luncheons for isolated individuals, income tax clinics, and day programs for vulnerable seniors. “As a board, we decided we would make a greater effort to obtain funding through grants and fundraising,” said Houston-Lambert, adding that they hope to make the spring fair an annual tradition. The spring fair’s $10 ticket price includes lunch, and the doors open at the Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre at 10:30 a.m. Tickets can be purchased at the Olde Forge, 2730 Carling Ave., or by calling 613-8299777, ext. 7252. Emails can be sent to info@ oldeforge.ca

has also been part of the mix, along with the proceeds of fundraising. The property in question is located on the west side of Clementine between Rockingham and Belanger Avenues. The site is bordered by two-storey apartments and three-storey townhomes. Comments on the proposal can be sent to the city until April 14. A decision is expected from the city’s planning department on May 13.

News - An Ottawa charitable organization is seeking to build a four-storey apartment building for adults with special needs in the Alta Vista area. Ottawa Salus Corp. has filed a site plan control proposal for 1486-1494 Clementine Blvd., with the intention of constructing a 42-unit apartment building containing studio apartments exclusively. One parking space is included in the proposal. Ottawa Salus has been in operation since the 1970s, providing supportive housing and services for adults recovering from mental illness. The property identified in the proposal is currently vacant. If approved, these would be the first new units created by Ottawa Salus since 2006, and would represent a significant increase to its housing stock. “It’s roughly a 20 per cent

increase,” said Lisa Ker, executive director of Ottawa Salus. “We currently manage 172 units within Ottawa.” The organization has partnerships with Ottawa Community Housing and Centretown Citizens Ottawa Corporation. Funding for Ottawa Salus comes from a variety of sources, with the majority coming from the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. Federal and municipal money

Ottawa West Golden Knights holding own in playoffs Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

Sports - It may be the 40th anniversary of the Ottawa West Golden Knights’ first onice battles, but celebrations in February took a backseat with the club making a strong Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League playoff run. The Golden Knights have their work cut out for them

this year, with the Junior B team facing recurrent injuries along while facing stiff opposition from the Almonte Thunder in the league semifinals. After beating out the Ottawa Canadians in the previous round, the Knights were pitted against the Thunder. “They’re playing good hockey,” said head coach Steve Sundin of their opponents. The Golden Knights fol-

lowed up a March 22 loss in Almonte with a 7-4 win at home at the Barbara Ann Scott Arena on March 24 to take a 2-1 series lead. The Knights were scheduled to play in Almonte the following day, with Game 7 slated for March 31, if necessary. “If we’re fortunate enough to get past Almonte, we have a very strong Casselman to go against,” said Sundin.

The March 24 game saw the Golden Knights come out strong in the first period, sustaining the momentum despite two injuries. Forwards Zac Rodier and Ethan Allard each recorded a hat trick. The Golden Knights have won six championships since their inception, with Sundin – who bought the team three years ago and also serves as the club’s general manager – hoping for a seventh this time around. A Feb. 20 celebration saw past-president Glen Richardson join current board staff in marking the anniversary. Sundin praised his team’s six out-of-town players for “meshing-in really well” with the Golden Knights’ local players.

Ottawa runner hurdles past university record Gee-Gees Sekou Kaba topples mark held by Olympic champion Mark McKoy Tyler Follett

tyler.follett@metroland.com

Sports - Sekou Kaba has capped off a strong season in the best way possible: winning a gold medal in the 60-metre hurdles at the Canadian Interuniversity Sport championships in Edmonton on March 7. It was the second CIS gold medal at the event for the University of Ottawa Gee-Gee, having also won in 2012. The Gee-Gees were well represented at the CIS nationals, sending eight athletes. Winning a second gold wasn’t enough for the talented Kaba, who also broke the CIS record of 7.83 seconds with his time of 7.79. The previous record holder? Mark McKoy, who went on to become the 1992 gold medalist at the Barcelona Summer Olympics in the 110m hurdles. In other words, pretty elite company to find yourself in. “I knew I could do it, but I think it sends a message to myself and my supporters and competitors,” said Kaba. Kaba, who only moved to Canada in 2007, admits he wasn’t familiar with McKoy until after breaking his record. He has since watched many videos of his running and examined his running style, happy to learn anything he can of his adopted homeland. The importance of the record is not lost on him.

“Anytime you can be mentioned in a sentence with a guy like Mark McKoy is great,” he said. Kaba has already experienced the highs of success and the lows of injury. The 2012 CIS season saw him go undefeated in indoor events, culminating in the gold medal. “2012 was a great ride, I was just trying to do my best while at the same time enjoying it,” said Kaba. His 2013 season, however, was cut short due to hamstring injuries. He has been healthy in his current season, and competed in the provincials in February, coming in second place. It was a disappointing result for him, but it ended up being a blessing in disguise as it motivated him at the nationals where he reclaimed his crown as Canadian champion. “Though I got beat at provincials, I think I needed that,” said Kaba. The 60m and 110m hurdles are the two events Kaba competes in, with the former ran indoors and the latter outdoors. Though he is the CIS record holder in 60m, 110m is Kaba’s specialty with him even saying he “struggles” at the 60m. “I finish strong, that’s always been my big strength so I definitely prefer 110m,” he said. He has trained with the Ottawa Lions Track and Field

Sekou Kaba, right, clears the final hurdle in the finals of the 60m. It was a record-setting run for Kaba, who broke the CIS mark previously held by 1992 Summer Olympic Gold medalist Mark McKoy. Club since coming to Canada from the United States in 2007, and it’s been a successful partnership. Kaba was born in Guinea, moving to the U.S. when he was 14. “They’re absolutely great, they’ve been home to me since

I stepped foot on Canadian soil,” said Kaba happily. Looking ahead, Kaba is as motivated as ever to not only make it as a professional track star, but excel. “There’s plenty more to come, I just want to keep

working hard and doing my best,” he said. The Olympics in Rio do Janiero, Brazil, in 2016 and qualification is a realistic goal. Kaba almost qualified for the 2012 Olympics, gaining citizenship just in time for the trials. The

Commonwealth Games are in August this year in Glasgow, Scotland, and Kaba has every intention of showing what he’s made of on the world stage. “I’m absolutely ready, the doors are wide open. I just need to keep working.”

Sports - The Paralympics are getting better and better for cross-country skier Margarita Gorbounova. Family and friends packed the Ottawa International Airport on March 17 to celebrate the first of the city’s returning athletes. The Winter Paralympic Games in Sochi, which were her second after competing at Vancouver in 2010, featured highlights on and off the course for Gorbounova, including a fourth place finish in the 15K cross-country skiing. The finish easily bested her previous seventh place finish in Vancouver, and was part of what made the Sochi games stand out. “The big difference between the two games was the media coverage, there was an amazing amount of coverage compared to Vancouver,” said Gorbounova, who also collected a seventh place finish in the 6K biathlon. “It felt like these were the Olympic games, whereas in Vancouver there was definitely something to be desired for coverage.” The experience in 2010 gave Gorbounova a better idea of what to do and how to prepare for Sochi, which she felt played a big difference. “Having been to the games before, it wasn’t a new experience to me which meant I was much better prepared than in Vancouver,” she said. Gorbounova was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, moving to Canada in 1999 with her family, living in Toronto for six years before moving to Ottawa. Her Russian roots made the adjustment a little easier for herself, while speaking in her native tongue made her one of the most popular athletes at the games. “It was really fun to be back there because I spoke Russian so people loved me, they were always so excited when they found out,” said Gorbounova with a smile. Born with cataracts, Gorbounova has almost complete vision impairment, but para-Nordic skiing is in her blood. Her mother Olga Nazarenko won a gold medal for Russia at the 1992 Paralympic Games in the discipline, with her father Mikhail Gorbounov an equally skilled middle distance and European Championship-winning marathon runner. Her parents are also visually impaired, as well as the ones responsible for introducing her to para-Nordic skiing. For Gorbounova, the highlight of the games may have been the spectacle. “The opening and closing ceremonies both were amazing, they really did such an impressive job,” she said. Improvements were also made in events coverage, with every event from the games watchable either on TV or online. “Some people were upset in Vancouver with not being able to watch

Sports - The nation’s capital will host the 2015 Special Olympics Provincial Floor Hockey Championships at Carleton University in little more than a year. With support from the Ontario Hockey League and in partnership with Special Olympics Ontario, the Ottawa police and Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group will invite 24 teams to the city to take part in the event designed to create awareness for the Special Olympics movement. “We will be so pleased to welcome over 400 athletes from across Ontario to play floor hockey in our great city,” said Ottawa police Chief, Charles Bordeleau. According to OSEG president Jeff Hunt, the OHL and Ottawa 67’s have been associated with the event for many years. “It’s a natural fit for us,” said Hunt. “I’m looking forward to being a part of it.” Law enforcement agencies across Ontario have been in-

Ottawa-born Olympic figure skater ends career after Sochi Competitor for Italy returning to Canada, but not to skate Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Sports - Italian figure skater and Ottawa native Paul Bonifacio Parkinson has decided to leave the world of international figure skating after competing at the Sochi Winter Olympics. The move comes after a less-than-stellar performance at the figure skater’s first Olympic competition, with several errors in his program. However, Bonifacio Parkinson said he achieved everything he set out to and is excited to return to Canada and pursue a degree at the University of Toronto. “For me it is very exciting as I’m really looking forward to taking the next step in my life,” he said. Bonifacio Parkinson was born in Canada and grew up in Barrhaven where his love of

figure skating started. Living in Ottawa, Bonifacio Parkinson said he wanted to learn to skate so he could skate on the canal. After excelling through CanSkate, Bonifacio Parkinson competed with the Nepean Skating Club, going to national championships at age 12. After he won silver at the Canadian juniors in 2009, he decided to compete for Italy as he holds dual citizenship through his mother’s side of the family. The idea was to get more international exposure, as the Italian team attends more European events. “When we first thought of it, we didn’t think I was necessarily ready for that stage, but after I medalled at the Canadian Championships in junior, we thought that was a good time to make the switch over knowing that I could handle that pressure at nationals,” he

said. Though it was difficult to leave his friends and teammates, Bonifacio Parkinson said he still felt support from his hometown five years later at Sochi. Nonetheless, the pressure of competing at that level was something he wasn’t ready for, he said. “Nothing can really prepare you for the pressure that you feel at the Olympics,” said Bonifacio Parkinson. The pressure showed in Bonifacio Parkinson’s skating, with several falls during competition. However, it was while competing in his second event at Sochi that he hit his stride. During the men’s free skate for the team competition, Bonifacio Parkinson topped his best score that season with a score of 121.23, earning him fifth place with Russian veteran Evgeny Plyushchenko in

first with 168.20. “That performance I had the most fun,” said Bonifacio Parkinson. “I was just out there trying to enjoy every moment of it, and the feeling I had when I finished that long program was just, it’s indescribable.” Despite the errors, Bonifacio Parkinson said his Olympic experience was great, and that he “enjoyed every second that I was out there competing.” Nonetheless, after returning to his training base in Colorado to take a pause after Sochi, Bonifacio Parkinson was considering his acceptance to the University of Toronto’s ki-

nesiology program. Now, he said starting his degree at U of T is almost assured, as he is just waiting on student loans and some paperwork to be finalized. Though Bonifacio Parkinson said he is still planning on competing for the university’s varsity team, he leaves the world of international figure skating with very few regrets. “I have achieved everything I set out to do when I started skating,” he said. Though the competition is over, he won’t be leaving behind his Olympic experience. The most memorable part for him was the end of every skate, he said.

“Each time I competed, it was the amount of applause and support I got from the audience. I will never forget the feeling I had when I was done competing each time.” Though he was skating for Italy, Bonifacio Parkinson said he still felt support from home. “Even though I’m not representing Canada, they are still supporting me as I am: as one of their own,” he said. “It’s a great feeling knowing that these people are going to be behind me, supporting me regardless of what happens in my future and that they are always going to be there to support me.”

Jealousy ends up tearing apart precious hand-me-down

merson was not happy. The hand-medown box was wide open in the middle of the kitchen floor, and the entire family sat around it in chairs as we would at a prayer meeting at the Lutheran Church. The call had come that morning: “She’s here...she’s here.” That’s all the station master had to say. We knew the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie in Regina had arrived on the C.P.R. train. Of course there was no touching it until after supper, the kitchen had been cleaned up, and our hands washed. Why we had to wash our hands before we touched a wood crate that come all the way from Regina by train was something I could never understand, but no one got near the box, or the mounds of clothes packed inside until we had thoroughly washed our hands! The reason Emerson was in a state was because a nice store-bought sweater had been claimed by Earl. Alpaca, it was, Mother said. We had to admit it was a fine specimen of a sweater, and it

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories fit Earl to a T. Earl, being several sizes smaller than Emerson, and weighing about 50 pounds less, was the logical owner of the newly arrived sweater, once worn by a rich cousin in Regina. But Emerson claimed since he was older, he should have had first pick, and as far as he was concerned the sweater would fit. “It’s supposed to be tight – that’s the style of it,” he reasoned. Mother would have no part of the argument. The sweater was Earl’s and that was the end of it. Alas, if that were only the case! The entire box was emptied, and as usual, there was nothing in it for my sister Audrey or me – it was all boys’ clothes. We knew some of Uncle Jack’s suits would eventually be made

into skirts or jumpers for us, and the dresses Aunt Lizzie had no more use for, being several sizes too small for Mother, would be turned into blouses. The contents of the entire box had been sorted, pawed over and put into piles, and the empty box moved out to the summer kitchen, where it would eventually be pulled apart and used for kindling for the Findlay Oval. It looked like Earl was the only one who had anything decent out of the whole box. That is, everything else had to be cut down to size, let out, pressed or passed on to the rummage sale the Salvation Army held once a year in Renfrew. The whole evening was spent pawing over the clothes from Regina, with Emerson still insisting the one prize in the entire box,

the Alpaca sweater, belonged to him. Earl had rolled it into a ball, and it was under his arm, and as far as he was concerned, he owned it, lock, stock and barrel! Even when we were on our knees around Mother saying our nightly prayers, Earl never let go of the sweater, and we knew he would be wearing it the next day to the Northcote School. Well, at the crack of dawn, which was when we five children were roused from our warm beds, all heck broke loose. Earl, who only cried if he was physically hurt, was crying like he had lost an arm. Between sobs he was calling Emerson every vile name he could think of. Mother left making the porridge and took the stairs two at a time to settle whatever was causing the uproar. Well, it was plain to see what had happened, and it was going to take a genius to fix it. In fact, not even a genius could repair the damage. How Emerson did what he did without being heard through the night would forever remain a mystery,

but somehow he had snuck downstairs to Mother’s sewing basket; got her good scissors that no one could touch, and cut out the sleeves of the sweater. There he stood, fully dressed with a clean plaid shirt and over the top was the now-sleeveless sweater. He ignored the fact that it barely touched his waist. The arms fit, and to Emerson, that was all that mattered. Now, Earl was small, but he was powerful when he was in full anger mode, and he attacked Emerson with fists flying. Everyone stood around in the upstairs hall, which was really the bedroom I shared with Audrey, too stunned to enter into the battle. Even Mother looked like she had turned to stone. Earl grabbed at the sweater, latching onto a shoulder where it had been relieved of one of its sleeves, and pulled with all his might. Right before our eyes, the piece of yarn he had a firm hold on reamed off the sweater, falling in a soft mound on the bedroom floor. Soon there was very little left to that side of the sweater. It was unravelling

and if Earl kept at it, soon there would be nothing left but the band on the bottom. Well, there was nothing to do but admit that was the last of the Alpaca sweater. Audrey said she doubted if even the wool could be saved. Mother said she would think of a punishment for Emerson after we had all gone to school, and she could get her wits about her. All the way out the long lane, Emerson walked half a mile behind us, like someone with leprosy. If there was anything Emerson hated, it was doing house chores. Mother decided every night for a week he would clean up the kitchen, and that meant putting on a long white pinny, washing the dishes, drying them, and putting them into the cupboard. “Girls chores,” he called it. Earl didn’t think the penalty was severe enough, and so all the time Emerson was at his “girl chores,” Earl sat on the bench behind the table making faces and sneering in Emerson’s direction. Emerson dared not complain, because he knew Mother could easily add another house chore to his punishment, like peeling potatoes or making the toast in the morning. More girl chores.

News - The Canadian Museum of Nature is offering its patrons one last chance to take a bite out of winter. The museum will host an edible festival from April 3-7, featuring culture, traditions, science and culinary treats from the Canadaian Arctic. This is the second year that the museum is presenting a festival honouring the country’s vast northern region. Activities include Arctic food and craft fairs, chain art, a scavenger hunt, igloo building, Inuit drum demonstrations and a photo exhibit of Inuit country food in urban areas. Children and adults alike will also have the opportunity to interact with museum scientists and research staff to talk about their Arcticrelated work, from botany to Arctic fish X-rays to preparing food for rugged northern field trips.

in contributing to the global record of knowledge.” The Nunavut Tourism and Adventure Canada is helping support the event. “Nunavut is an exotic and untamed destination much closer than you think.” said Colleen Dupuis, Nunavut Tourism’s chief operating officer.

Red pepper feta spread a small taste of spring Lifestyle - Simple and addictive, this pepper spread is common in Greece as part of a shared appetizer table (mezes). Serve with toasted pita wedges, cucumber slices and pepper wedges. Preparation time: five minutes. Cooking time: 16 minutes. Standing time: two hours. Makes 250 ml (1 cup), or about six servings. Ingredients

• 1 sweet red pepper, cut into

chunks (300 mL/ 1 1/4 cups) • 75 ml (1/3 cup) water • 250 ml (1 cup) crumbled feta cheese (125 g/4 oz) • 0.5 ml (1/8 tsp) crushed red pepper flakes Preparation

In a medium skillet, combine the red pepper and water. Cover and bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes or until the red pepper is tender. Uncover and bring to boil,

then simmer until all the liquid has evaporated – about four minutes. In a food processor or blender, puree the pepper, feta cheese and pepper flakes until the mixture is smooth. Transfer it to a bowl, cover and refrigerate for two hours or up to three days. Bring the spread to room temperature before serving. Tip: Any leftovers make a fantastic sandwich or burger spread.

Community - Ottawa is preparing for the 69th edition of Ontario’s second-largest music festival this April. The history of the Kiwanis Music Festival stems back to 1945, where it started as a three-day competition for young classical musicians. Now, the festival has grown to span five weeks, with various performances taking place throughout the city. The competition includes classical instrument categories as well as band, choir and musical theatre competitions. This year, the festival has received more than 3,000 entries with thousands of young musicians from the Ottawa area and beyond participating, said Kim Chadsey, the festival’s director of development. “Montreal doesn’t have a festival like this, so (Montreal musicians) will compete in ours,” she said. “We get kids from as far away as Pembroke, Hawkesbury, Brockville and Cornwall, but most are from the Ottawa and Gatineau area.” In the last few years, the competition has become

Three Kiwanis Music Festival award winners went on to compete nationally and place in the top three for their respective categories. Suren Barry placed first in open piano, Christian Paquette placed second in the open winds category playing flute, and Bryan Cheng placed third in senior strings playing cello. “We highly recommend people coming (to the festival) because you might hear

the next Yo-Yo Ma,” said Chadsey. For years the festival has made its home at churches and other sites across Ottawa, with performances taking place in eight different venues from Stittsville to Riverview Park and in between. The festival takes place from March 31 to May 3, with a highlights concert on May 16 at Algonquin Commons Theatre.

Ottawa custodian publishes lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth of poems Teaching English abroad provides inspiration Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

SUBMITED

Kanata poet David Leduc released his self-published book, Two Trees, earlier this year.

Arts - A Kanata man is putting his soul out into the world with a self-published book of poems heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s penned across Canada and abroad. The book, entitled Two Trees, was published this January, and focuses on sharing common hardships to dispel loneliness as one of its major themes, explained poet David Leduc. The book is a project that has taken decades to come together, he said, as Leduc â&#x20AC;&#x153;caught the museâ&#x20AC;? of poetry while in high school. Though not a prolific writer, poetry has been a passion for Leduc since then, composing poems while studying English literature at the University of Ottawa, during years working in radio in Kenora, Brandon Man., and Grande Prairie, Alta., and throughout his work abroad. After leaving radio, Leduc put his degree to work, and traveled to Nigeria to teach English for two years. His experiences in Nigeria and Malaysia form some of the inspiration for his work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was pretty tough in Nigeria,â&#x20AC;? said Leduc. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I lived in the north part of the country, which is below the Sahara desert, so water and fresh food were always a problem, especially water sometimes.â&#x20AC;?

However, the difficulties inherent in the job didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to dissuade him from applying for another teaching contract two years later, this time in Malaysia for five years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went from the desert to the rainforest,â&#x20AC;? he said. However, it was getting used to Canada again that proved more difficult, said Leduc.

We all live in our own little loneliness, and I believe by expressing empathy outward, it confirms that we are not alone. DAVID LEDUC

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The culture shock coming home hit me harder than it did going over there,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being seven years overseas and coming home, things change so fast here, whereas overseas itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a much slower pace of life. So I had a hard time readjusting.â&#x20AC;? Eventually, Leduc settled into custodial work, finding a job as a superintendant at an apartment building in Kanata. Through all that time, poetry was a constant, if not omnipresent passion. Now, having just passed his 60th birthday, Leduc realized he had

written enough poems to make a book. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;well, I better get it out before Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m gone or else it will be lost to history.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Leducâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poems are a collection of short haikus, as well as narratives, sonnets, ballads and many others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of my poems deal with the dichotomies and the contradictions and the confusions that we live through in our lives,â&#x20AC;? he said. Though some of these are inspired by his unique experiences abroad and what it was like coming back to Canada, much of his poetry is about sharing experiences that others relate to. But Leduc goes beyond simply pointing these instances of â&#x20AC;&#x153;dichotomies, contradictions and confusions.â&#x20AC;? Ultimately, his poetry is about showing people they are not alone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Poetry depends upon empathy,â&#x20AC;? explained Leduc. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you show or express empathy to somebody, then they can realize that they are not alone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all live in our own little loneliness, and I believe by expressing empathy outward, it confirms that we are not alone. We all have the same issues and problems in our lives.â&#x20AC;? Leduc said he is relieved to get his poetry out into the world, though he said it feels a bit like inviting the public to criticize your soul. Still, he has a long-term view for the success of his poetry now that he knows itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be available online and at the public library. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t catch on this generation, it might catch on the next generation.â&#x20AC;?

Students paint types of love Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

Arts - The Artists Anonymous club at St. Peter High School has been busy this year, working on murals, sets and a community art gallery. On March 19, club members officially opened a public gallery at the Cumberland branch of the Ottawa Public Library, in the teen section. The six group paintings depict six types of love, the four types of love known in the Catholic culture, storage, agape, philia and eros, plus two more: mania and ecstacy. There are also individual paintings displayed. Benten Tinkler, a Grade 12 student, said the projects were interesting because they had to work in teams to create the paintings, dividing up the about 30 students who are part of the club. The paintings are all acrylic, painted on canvas, by the Grade 7 to 12 students. Grade 7 student Celeste Thompson is one of the youngest students in the group, and worked on the philia painting along with Benten. Philia is the type of love between fam-

Artists Megan Heartfield, left, and Michelle Léveillée show off a painting they worked on as a part of a group for the community art show at the Cumberland branch of the Ottawa Public Library, which held its opening on March 19. They painted the type of love known as ‘agape,’ which they depicted with a Celtic knot. ily and friends. “We chose (to paint) triangles because it’s the strongest shape,” she said. “And then the black lines represent where family and friends have to stick together in tough times.” Student Nik Watters said that the group has mostly done projects within the school, such as murals or sets for the school’s theatre productions, and they are trying to do more public projects within the

community. The club meets every Wednesday after school at St. Peter and occasionally on weekends to finish specific projects. The club is next taking on a project for The Canadian Tulip Festival to put on display at Dow’s Lake this spring. There is no set end date for the gallery at the library, but paintings will be on display in the teen section for at least several weeks.

Building a Foundation for

Improved Mobility and a Better Sense of Well Being by Brian Turner Why Orthotics?

Is it Convenient?

While many people understand that orthotics are custom molded footwear inserts designed to provide proper foot support and to help improve posture and gait, few may realize how a properly fitted foundation for the feet may also provide a better sense of well being! By analyzing a person’s posture, gait and anatomical structure of the foot, a certified pedorthist, through the use of expertly crafted and fitted orthotics, may help to relieve painful foot or lower limb problems, improve balance and help accommodate foot irregularities and by these means, contribute to a person’s sense of well being through improved comfort and mobility.

For the ultimate in convenience, soléa offers online, real-time appointment booking you can do yourself for assessments, shoe modifications, follow-up adjustments, orthotic recovering, rechecks, and pick-up/fitting appointments. Please visit www.solea.ca or call 613.728.6905.

Why Choose soléa?

They carry premium quality brands such as Finn Comfort, Dansko, Mephisto, Gabor, El Naturalista, Ara and Aetrex, just to name a few and the list of styles and colours grows every season.
