Westboro residents want LRT trench buried Congratulations, condemnation raised at recent meeting Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
Westboro residents are digging in to reject plans for trenched light rail through their neighbourhood in favour of a fully-buried line between Dominion and Cleary stations. The city held a public consultation at on March 30 to discuss plans for a 1.2-kilometre stretch of track that
was subject to 100 days of negotiation between city staff and the National Capital Commission this winter. The city is studying three light-rail extensions from the Confederation Line currently under construction, which would eventually add 19 more stations and 30 kilometres of track to the city’s transit network by 2023.

Finding money for burial would be challenging: Leiper On March 6 the working group announced its preferred plan will bury most of the line under a realigned parkway between the two stations. Only one small section west of Dominion station would still be in an open trench, running below grade for
stroy local green space. The two groups agreed to spend 100 days negotiating two options – one through Rochester Field and Byron Linear Park, and the other buried under Sir John. A. Macdonald Parkway.

But last fall the NCC rejected the city’s plans for a section that runs near Rochester Field, on the grounds that the open trench design would block access to the Ottawa River and de-

about 200 metres before descending into an underground portal in time to cross the northern end of Rochester Field. That stretch is a primary concern for some Westboro residents who live near the proposed track. Jacques Vachon with LRT lobby group Underground Solution said it’s unfair that the city managed to find enough money to address the rest of the NCC’s concerns, but couldn’t live without the estimated $20 million saved by not burying the Westboro section. “It’s a substantial amount, but its $20 million on a billion,” he said. “For two per cent more we can bury 25 per cent more.” Cheryl Ford, who lives on Dominion Avenue, said she fully supports the LRT project but she wants it “to be done right.” That means putting the trenched section underground to protect green space and save residents from excess light and noise pollution, overhead wires and unsightly infrastructure, she said. “It won’t look like the pictures they show with people walking in green space,” Ford said. But not everyone was upset with the compromise. Wayne Mercer, who lives near Cleary station on the west end of the segment, congratulated planners “for coming up with such a great result.” “It’s a compromise but it’s a better compromise than I could have envisioned,” Mercer said. As part of the proposal, the park-
way’s westbound lanes would shift further south, increasing usable shoreline space by 38 per cent and allowing for the development of a national waterfront park. It would also add two new multi-use underpasses to increase access to the river and cut down on illegal parkway crossings. While Mercer said he feels for his neighbours further east, overall the new plan is hugely improved. “From a personal standpoint, I’m 98 per cent happy. From the standpoint of the community and nature and my neighbours, I would like to see that 200 metres buried,” he said. Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper said it wouldn’t be impossible to bury the section if there was enough of a groundswell advocating for that – but it wouldn’t be easy, either. “It’s going to be a challenge to find the money for it,” he said. The true cost of putting that section underground is still unknown, Leiper added, so there would have to be extensive research and costing exercises done to see if the change would be financially feasible. While cost savings can always be found, staff can also “hold bidders’ feet to the fire” during tendering to make sure it gets done inside council’s approved budget envelope of $980 million, he said. But if all else failed and staff need more money to get it done, Leiper warned not to underestimate the cost-savvy attitude of council, which would ultimately have to approve any extra spending. “It’s a small percentage increase, but council has been very budget-conscious,” he said.

Low-income households will see their hydro bills reduced under a program introduced by the Ontario government on March 26, while other hydro users will see an increase. The Ontario Electricity Support Program will be administered by the Ontario Energy Board, and will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2016. Factoring income levels and the number of people in a household, a sliding scale is used to calculate how much a qualifying household would save, ranging from $20 to $50 a month. The timing of the subsidy coincides with the end of the 10 per cent Ontario Clean Energy Benefit at the end of 2015. Jennifer Beaudry, spokeswoman for Ontario energy minister Bob Chiarelli, said the program would be paid for by adding to non-eligible ratepay-
ers’ bills “an increase of about 70 cents a month.” This means a single person making $28,001 a year will be paying more on their hydro bill to provide a $20 a month subsidy for someone making $28,000 a year. They would also be paying the same fee as those in higher income brackets, and shoulder the burden of future increases. While the looming elimination of the debt retirement charge will save ratepayers an average of $5.60 per month on their hydro bills, the elimination of the OCEB and future rate increases will see Ontarians paying about $120 a year more for hydro, according to comments made by Chiarelli on March 26. Beaudry elaborated on that figure, stating, “the approximate $10 monthly increase is outlined in The Long Term Energy Plan and factors in the removal of the OCEB.”

The City of Ottawa Workshops building in Mechanicsville is set to return to its former glory as a key employment hub after the city’s built heritage sub-committee designated it a heritage building on March 26. Council is expected to approve the designation at the end of April. The building at 7 Bayview Road was built in 1941 to serve as a city works yard for maintenance, storage and machining. It was a functional public works site until about 15 years ago, but since then has been largely vacant save for the pigeons and animals that snuck in through the shop’s many broken windows. Those panes have now been boarded up, and the city and its not-for-profit partner are on the cusp of announcing who will be chosen to renovate the 4,273square metre building back to a habitable state. The 75-year-old building is the centrepiece in the city’s plans to develop an Innovation Centre on the property similar to Toronto’s MaRS Discovery District and Kitchener-Waterloo’s Communitech Hub. Ottawa’s centre will house an expanded Invest Ottawa headquarters and a business incubator to “create an efficient ‘one-stop business acceleration shop’ for entrepreneurs, companies, investors and other innovation stakeholders” through “onsite access to a cohesive suite of technical and business programs, services, resources and support that help entrepreneurs and firms launch, grow and thrive,” according to the project’s website. The innovation centre is a partnership between the city,

province and private sector. Ottawa has already granted a 99-year lease to the Innovation Centre at Bayview Yards, the non-profit corporation operating at arm’slength from the municipality to oversee the project. Phase one will break ground this summer and is scheduled to open in 2016. Phase two currently includes plans for a 12-storey tower with another 16,700 sq. m of available space. As for its heritage value, the workshop is a good example of the early modern style for industrial buildings in Ottawa, which has otherwise all but disappeared, according to the city’s heritage planners. While the Bayview area north of Scott Street features several other industrial buildings, the workshop at the north end is the last remaining structure from a larger city-owned industrial complex that began construction in the 1930s. The workshop is in rough shape; large service doors hang askew on their hinges, window panes are as likely to be broken as they are intact, and graffiti has been scrawled across any doors, windows and walls within reach. But the bones are good, according to the heritage report. The building features huge metal-framed windows that let in a lot of natural light, as well as a number of massive service doors – some with wooden tongue-ingroove settings original to the 1940s construction. Linda Hoad with the Hintonburg Community Association said the group has been pushing for heritage designation foryears, and is happy to see it done. She said the association is excited to welcome the Innovation Centre to the area. “I think it will be quite a transformation,” she said.

A five-year saga to determine how infill should be built in Ottawa’s mature neighbourhoods has come to a close – almost. Council endorsed a revised version of the bylaw on March 25, the result of mediation between city planners and local developers this January. The bylaw will now go to the Ontario Municipal Board for the final stamp of approval – something city planners expect by early May. It’s been a long-time coming: the original bylaw, which was created to address widespread infill development taking place in mature neighbourhoods like Hintonburg and Sandy Hill, began
to take shape over two years of public consultation beginning in 2010. Council passed a version of the bylaw in May 2012, but developers appealed it to the OMB. It has taken until now to resolve the outstanding issues and come up with a bylaw that everyone can live with – no small feat, according to Barrhaven councillor and planning committee chairwoman, Jan Harder. “This policy is the first of its kind in Canada. Nowhere else has a municipality developed a policy to preserve neighbourhood character,” she said, noting that the successful mediation process helped avoid the cost of an OMB hearing. The bylaw will require developers to do a streetscape
character analysis to determine what are the street’s defining features when it comes to landscaping, parking and the locations of things like front doors. That applies not only to infill, but also to any extensions, additions or redevelopment of existing homes that are visible from the street. The applicant would need to look at 21 homes – ideally, five on either side of the lot in question and 11 across the street – to figure out the dominant features in the immediate area. From there, the infill design would have to conform as much as possible to that pattern. The point is not to make infill match the nearby houses perfectly, said city planner Beth Desmarais, but instead

in Toronto to discuss some of the appellants’ outstanding concerns with the bylaw, which was presented in its current form last May. As a result, several parts of the bylaw were modified ahead of council’s approval on March 25. For example, the parking requirements changed slightly: while driveways and parking spaces should conform with the local street pattern (for example, one-third of the lot width), the bylaw also imposes maximums for each category. The planners and developers negotiated smaller driveAccessories do

way sizes for lots between 6 and 7.49 metres, while allowing shared driveways to be slightly larger than usual. Lots 18 metres wide or more would be allowed a double wide driveway, Desmarais said. Another change was the removal of any mention of basement garages, in favour of a new definition that requires the first floor to include a certain percentage of living space. Effectively, the change outlaws putting a garage on the ground floor with the front entranceway on the second storey, Desmarais said. es last / Quantité While quantiti

Council endorses mature neighbourhoods infill bylaw
to ensure nothing looks out of place. “What really matters is how you feel, what happens as you move along the street,” she said. “What’s jarring, what’s different? You have to look at character from the level of the street.” She said the analysis is an extension of what architects already do when they’re assigned a project: they drive up and down the street to get a sense of what they should be designing. “I thought, it they’re already doing that, why don’t we formalize it?” Desmarais said. Murray Chown, a project manager with Novatech and the representative for the bylaw’s appellants, said at a March planning committee meeting that he is “cautiously optimistic” the revised bylaw is going to be a positive change. But he said it remains to be seen whether the streetscape tool will actually work. “We’re not going to know until we actually start using it,” he said.

The inventor of this project, Shawn MacDonell, owner of local marketing company Creativision, has won the Hintonburg Happening 2014 Art Grant. He is placing laundry hampers along with white t-shirts and underwear at various locations around Hintonburg and Wellington West. “People will be invited to come and write down whatever, the idea was no one’s
really watching over your shoulder and we aren’t doing it at an event so people won’t know who you are,” said MacDonell. “We even have some large and extra large t-shirts incase you have some really big secrets.” The shirts and underwear will be around until Hintonburg Happening’s final day at Summerset Square where the clothing will be strung up on clotheslines. “The Hintonburg Happening is an arts and culture festival to showcase what’s happening in the neighborhood and to raise funds for art initiatives,” said Summer Baird, the owner of the Hintonburg Public House and one of the creators of the
event. “The whole goal is for those art initiatives to make the area more exciting and showcase what we do.” The festival will be running from May 1 to the 9 throughout businesses and organizations in the area. It will include art exhibits, guest speakers, performances, workshops, and trivia among other events. Fundraising from the various events will be used to establish grants for next year. “Afterward all the shirts will make their way here (the Hintonburg Public House) so in May we’ll have the Air Your Dirty Laundry art show,” said MacDonell. The clothing and hampers have only been placed in a few

It was MacDonell’s idea to place the hampers in locations where customers often tell secrets to the bartender or hairdresser. The project is important to improve people’s health, said MacDonell and he is! generally excited to see what people write on the clothing. ! “I started realizing this is actually important.

everyday. He placed a couch around town and got people to sit and speak to each other. The outcome didn’t always end up the way he has expected it to, as he explained a situation when some kids asked if they could jump on the couch because they weren’t allowed to at home. At the end of the festival ten of the best shirts or underwear will be reprinted on higher quality shirts for auction. He also plans on taking pictures of all the shirts and making both a blog on Tumblr and a book.
they don’t know who to tell, they don’t know where to go or they don’t know where to write it. There’s no real world space to anonymously write something like this down,” said MacDonell. In regards to rules, there aren’t any. If people want to use it for its intended purpose then that’s fine but if people are going to mess around then it’s fine as well. It goes back to another project MacDonell worked on when he was trying to have a more personal connection with the people you see

Ontario finances still adrift
I
t’s not difficult to find evidence the Ontario government has lost its way. Almost every day they send out reminders, in the form of press releases, to whoever is interested of the many ways in which they’re squandering the future of the province. For example, in the spirit of disclosure and public accountability they sent out information on the annual “sunshine list,” detailing the members of the public sector who earn more than $100,000 per year. In 2014, the number of people on that list surpassed 100,000. That’s not an insignificant number of people. In fact, there are so many people in Ontario earning six figures on the public payroll that, at a minimum, their salaries will make up at least $10 billion of the province’s $130 billion 2014-15 fiscal plans. As most people on the sunshine list make more than $100,000, the actual portion of Ontario’s annual expenditures likely surpasses 10 per cent of the total. And that’s the disclosure part. While the top earners in the provincial public sector count their
riches, school boards and hospitals, including those here in Ottawa, are trimming their front-line staff in an effort to keep their budgets in balance as money from the province is frozen or clawed back. The Ottawa Hospital, CHEO, the public school board have announced in the last couple weeks that they’ll have to reduce the number of nurses and learning support staff in order to keep their books in the black. Those are the sorts of cuts that residents will notice. Yet these aren’t called job cuts, as these decisions are left to those at the local level, yet they do sound awfully similar to the sort that Kathleen Wynne denounced during her re-election campaign last year. She pledged to get Ontario’s economy back on track without tearing apart the public services residents depend on. So far, all we’ve seen is evidence of profligate spending and harmful job cuts. After more than half a decade of sour economic times, Ontario’s leadership is no closer to helping us find our way out of the woods.

Enjoying the ride at the edge of our seats

t seems like some kind of playoff fever thing hits our town every year. Playoff fever, as we have learned, doesn’t always mean Ottawa makes the National Hockey League playoffs, but it is exciting and it helps pass the last weeks of a very long and hard winter. And actually, it’s not really playoff fever. Actual playoff fever begins when the playoffs begin. What we have is making-the-playoffs fever, a different thing entirely. Some might suggest that, next year, the Senators could try winning more games earlier in the season, so that a playoff spot could be guaranteed and the good people of this city could be spared the nerve-wracking ordeal of a late-season playoff run. Such people have no soul, and no

A team that gets off to a horrible start, fires the coach, loses most of its veteran players to injury, including the best goaltender in the league at the time, just when the city has given up and started to think about gardening or something -- just then, with a minor-league goaltender and a gang of quite inexperienced players, the team starts to win, and continues

to win, and continues and continues, until the elusive playoff spot is within reach and fans are throwing hamburgers on the ice. Fans of one of those teams that wins all the time would be missing all this. True, having a winning season from beginning to end is the traditional way of making the playoffs, but that can be boring. Far better to keep the fans on the edge of their seats, keep them checking the radio or the TV when they’re supposed to be entertaining guests, keep them listening to the game online when they’re supposed to be going out to sample the nightlife in Florida. Fans of teams that do it the traditional way, in places like Chicago and Detroit, are probably pretty satisfied with their sports life.

should try this. In fact, the Senators themselves were quite traditional until last year, making the playoffs consistently for more than a decade. Then, last season, they rediscovered the extra dose of excitement they could provide for their fans by waiting until the last minute to qualify. The team had done that in 1997, qualifying for the playoffs on the last day of the regular season. Unfortunately, in the case of last season there was a miscalculation. The team was in the race for what sportswriters like to call “a coveted post-season spot” until the last week of the season. Then oops. Still, everyone could see what fun it was. Hence, the position we find ourselves in now as Senators fans, old and new. For there are many new ones. Winning a string of games with no veterans and a minor-league goalie will do that.

very day we’re bombarded with so much information, it’s difficult to stay
focused. As we receive more information ever more quickly, it’s hard not to react to everything that comes at us. But being reactive isn’t the best way to travel through life. Proponents of meditation would tell you calming and focusing your mind and body helps to reduce negative stress in large part because it trains you to be less reactive. Organizational behaviour theory also supports this view. The best managers, although they’re able to respond quickly to things, are also good at prioritizing, which suggests they are active rather than reactive. In our fast-paced world, besides meditation, how can we promote reflection and determined action? Take a break from electronic devices. Shut down the constant beeping of the smartphone that triggers the reac-

Have you ever just let your home phone ring and not answered it? I do it all the time. I’ve learned that when my child’s on a potty or demanding my attention for homework, it’s not the best time for me to pick up the phone. Learn to say no. I have learned this the hard way. In my personal life, I try not to overpromise. I’ve become comfortable saying no or maybe to social invitations, school activities or other demands from family and friends. It’s not easy for me, I’m a helper
and I’m very social. I like to make soup when people are sick. I like to offer to take an elderly neighbour out for coffee. But overpromising and under delivering or backtracking on a yes is far worse than saying no upfront. A few years ago in my professional life, I developed a bad habit of saying yes to every contract. If a potential client asked if I were available for work, I’d say yes, a kneejerk reaction I developed from my early days as a freelancer when there was more famine than feast. I would also promise to deliver things in less time than was feasible, a negative and reactive habit that is common among small business owners

Think of the contractor that promises to renovate your kitchen in two weeks and then takes six weeks to get it done. This reactive stance started to get the better of me. I was taking on more work than I could handle. I started to produce substandard work, or good quality work that was past deadline, two things that would have had a negative long term impact on my business reputation had I not nipped them in the bud. Thankfully, we learn best from our failures. When I’m asked to do a contract now, I do a calculation in my head used by successful renovations contractors: I take the amount of time I think I need and then I double it and add half. I don’t respond immediately to the request. I ask for more and thorough information about what’s involved in the contract. I take time to calculate, look at my calendar and get back-up support in place should I require extra human resources during the course of the contract. And sometimes I say no. Leading an active life

Public board wrestles over staff cuts Chairwoman’s motion aims to spare special education providers
Ottawa’s #1 Ranked Soccer Club O S U h O S tS S a n tO S F C aC a d e m y COaC h F rO m B r a z i l – lU i S F e r n a n d O Pa e S d e Ba r rO S OSU has been pleased to host Coach Luis FernaNdo Paes De Barros of the famed Santos FC Academy of Brazil this past week. Most recently, world superstar Neymar, of Barcelona F.C. was a product of the historic club in Brazil. Santos F.C. are probably most famous for another Brazilian and world superstar – Pele. Coach De Barros has become known internationally for his knowledge and insight into the development of Brazilian players utilizing a methodology of futsal and soccer. He has travelled abroad, most recently being a guest presenter at the English F.A. National Conference and subsequently at the more local Ontario Soccer Conference. OSU Club Technical Director Paul Harris had the pleasure to see Coach De Barros present on both occasions, noting that “Luis’s approach and depth of knowledge on the development of players in another soccer advanced country was something that intrigued him greatly. Harris thought that this was something that could help the coaches at OSU to see first hand another countries player development style and also subject the OSU players to an additional proven philosophy and methodology. Coach De Barros was able to work with a number of our Academy teams this past week. From this, our Academy players have been exposed to another development approach and philosophy, which will aid in their growth as teams and players. “OSU prides itself on providing new and innovative development opportunities for our players and coaches, in terms of their education in the game of soccer,” Harris stated.” These types of opportunities represent tangible development and education to players and coaches.” Through a growing network and reputation in the field of player development, OSU continues to be able to attract coaches of this nature to the club and Ottawa. OSU has a slate of additional opportunities over the forthcoming year with visits from other professional and national team coaches. More information on these opportunities will be posted and found at www.forceacademy.ca

A motion to save special education staff from being cut passed at the Ottawa Carleton District School Board’s committee of the whole on March 24, but the trustees’ fight to save frontline staff isn’t over. As it crafts its 2015-2016 spending plan, the board is grappling with having to balance its budget amid a backdrop of reduced Ministry of Education funding, as the province tries to do the same with its own budget. The motion by board chairwoman Shirley Seward, who represents River zone, tentatively took 14 special education staff off of the chopping block, and asked staff find cuts elsewhere. “I asked for all of the… special education staff to be reinstated,” said Seward. “I didn’t want any reductions.”
In the recent past, Seward has expressed her view that such staff, which are usually the first to be cut in tough economic times, are crucial and deserve protection. “The second part of the motion asked staff to find reductions in other areas … outside special education,” said Seward. “The motion said they should be looking at central administrative areas of staffing.” An amendment was added to make the directive more general in where staff can look for savings. Board funding has been stagnant for a couple of years now, and the March 26 ministry announcement of grants for student needs (GSNs) revealed a $7 million drop in provincial funding to the public board. As 59 per cent of the board’s budget goes towards staffing, that makes it a clear go-to place to find efficiencies. However, con-
tracts and collective agreements cover 83 per cent of the board’s workforce, leaving certain workers – like special education learning support and learning resource teachers - more vulnerable to cost-cutting. The staffing report sent to the board meeting by Janice McCoy, the board’s superintendent of human resources, called for a reduction of 28.71 full-time equivalents from elementary and secondary schools in Ottawa. Of that number, 14.76 full-time equivalents were in special education. The release of ministry grants could change the situation, but staff has yet to work out how the funding figures will affect the staffing proposals, said Seward. “The next board meeting is (March 31),” said Seward. “Staff will bring forward the proposed offset cuts, and it will be an opportunity to discuss that and see
if we’re in agreement with what they’ve proposed.” Barrhaven/KnoxdaleMerivale trustee Donna Blackburn voted in favour of Seward’s motion. “What I found problematic with the staff recommendation was that it seemed too top-heavy on front-line staff,” said Blackburn. “I hope they look to make cuts to central staff, and maybe at the end of the day we can find a compromise position … Special education carries with it a lot of division, and a lot of angst among parents whose kids need special services.” The economic situation the board finds itself in – compounded by dwindling reserves – means that an extra emphasis on fiscal prudence will required for this budget and those that follow, said Blackburn. “Going forward, we’re going to have to be pragmatic,” said Blackburn. “In some ways, the party is over and there are some hard decisions to be made.”

Conservative nomination process underway in Ottawa West-Nepean Businessman, police officer looking to take up torch from departed Baird Megan Delaire
mdelaire@metroland.com
Two candidates have announced their intention to seek the Conservative nomi-
nation in the Ottawa West-Nepean riding. Businessman Scott Singer and Ottawa police officer Abdul Abdi are now vying for the chance to take former MP
John Baird’s place. The party will name their candidate for a future election on April 13 during a nomination meeting at Centrepointe Theatre. According to his website,
Singer was born and raised in Montreal, and moved to Ottawa with his wife in 1991. He holds a bachelor’s degree in history from McGill University and is the co-owner of Nate’s Delicatessen on Merivale Road Abdi’s website states that
since moving to Canada from his native Somalia as a teenager, he worked for 11 years as a law enforcement officer. According to his website, he is a member of the United Way Ottawa’s board of directors. The announcement follows Baird’s resignation from Par-
liament on March 16. Baird, who most recently served as minister of foreign affairs, stepped down after nine years and 20 years of involvement in politics. The 2015 federal election is scheduled to take place on Oct. 19.

The organization that represents Ontario craft beer producers is calling on the province to expand their proposed liberalization of alcohol retailing to include dedicated craft beer stores. On March 24, Ontario Craft Brewers issued a media release designed to add “another idea to the conversation” about the way beer is retailed in Ontario. Currently, the province is working out a way to open up its restricted alcohol retailing system beyond just the publically-owned LCBO and privately-owned Beer Store. Premier Kathleen Wynne has already stated the possibil-
ity of allowing large grocery stores to bid on licenses that would allow them to sell wine and beer. Currently, small craft brewers can only sell their wares from a single, on-site shop, or by competing for a spot amidst the limited spaces available on shelves at the LCBO or Beer Store. The craft brewers group is proposing that breweries be able to open a second, off-site store, which would also be able to sell other local craft beers. “The ability to sell in this complementary channel will help grow the industry of 150 (plus) small, independent and entrepreneurial craft breweries that are operating throughout the province, with more planned and opening
on a steady basis,” the Ontario Craft Brewers said in a statement. “This new channel would also directly impact the growth of the emerging local hop industry, which is also expanding across the province.” Two years ago, the brewers calculated that there were approximately 1,000 direct craft brewery jobs in Ontario, a number that has certainly risen since then. Thegroup calculated that the proposal – given growing demand from Ontario beer drinkers and planned brewery expansions and upstarts – would assist in creating 1,000 to 2,000 additional brewery jobs, as well as four to five jobs in each offsite store.

Le Marché des Brasseurs d’ici is one of many Quebec retail stores devoted solely to selling local craft beers. Ontario brewers would like to see something similar allowed.

Clearly it’s from another time and place. … Hopefully the province is serious about changing this.”

“The fact that Ontario Craft Brewers continue to proliferate to the degree they have, in spite of the retail access barriers they face, is a testament to their fierce determination to make world class products and to a surging consumer demand for those products,” said Ontario Craft Brewers president John Hay is a media release. Hay added that craft brewers need a retail channel “that is a true extension of the craft brewing movement.” Neighbouring Quebec, which allows beer and wine sales in corner stores as well as grocery stores, also has standalone craft beer stores reserved solely for Quebec brews. Josh McJannett, co-founder of Ottawa’s Dominion City Brewing Company, said his east-end operation is eagerly following the booze debate. Dominion City started operations in September of last year and has already expanded to meet growing demand. The brewery and on-site shop employs a team of seven people. Having recently returned from a meeting of Ontario hop growers (Dominion sources its ingredients locally), McJannett called the craft beer store idea “a neat concept,” and added that Ontarians want better options on how to purchase craft

Winter was still a long way from over
‘D
on’t count on it,” Father said from behind the Family Herald and Weekly Star. Mother, instead of sitting at the end of the old pine table in front of her diaries as usual, was that night was gathering up mitts, wool hats, and ordering us, the five of us, to put our long underwear in the dirty clothes, because it wasn’t likely we would be wearing it again the next day. Coming from the Northcote school that day, we had to carry our coats as the sun beat down on us, and the smell of spring was in the air. Just a few days before, it was cold and a fierce wind cut across the TwentyAcre Field, and there was no doubt in anyone’s mind that winter was still around. But now, so soon after, the weather changed, and we could see that much of the snow had gone from the fields, and the Northcote Side Road was bare.
MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories It was no wonder Mother said spring was in the air, and it was time to get rid of the heavy clothes and that included the long underwear we had been wearing since the first bite of winter in the fall. There wasn’t one of us who wasn’t thrilled to be rid of the terrible long johns. After months of weekly washings, they had lost their softness, the ankles were stretched beyond repair, and the elastic around the waist hung limp. We were more than happy to bid the long underwear goodbye. That night, Mother was gathering up the mitts, scarves and hats and piling everything
on a chair near the back door. It wasn’t Monday, so there would be no washing. Everything would have to wait for the laundry tub until after the weekend. I could see Father shaking his head from his rocking chair by the Findlay Oval. Finally, he couldn’t keep quiet any longer. “I’m telling you Mabel, there’s plenty winter out there yet. Everyone will be back in that long underwear, you can bet on it.” Mother stopped gathering up the mitts, hats and scarves. “Now, Albert, where were you all day? I’m telling you we’ve seen the last of the snow. Sure,
it’s like May out there today.” Father lifted the lid off the Findlay Oval and slapped his pipe into the firebox, emptying it and getting ready for another load of pipe tobacco. He took his time sitting back down in the rocking chair. And then he went on to explain to Mother once again all the signs that pointed to a long winter and that it wasn’t over yet, and it mattered not how warm it was that day, or if all the snow had gone off the Northcote Side Road. He explained a sure sign was how deep the early snow was. “That’s a sure sign. If the deer can reach the branches of the trees, you can count on a long winter.” He relit his pipe. “And remember when we butchered and the pig liver ‘melt’ showed those little lumps? Well, that told me what we were in for.” Mother just shook her head, and once again told Father that those “old wives tales” as she
called them, held no water with her. The next morning, I could hear Father in the kitchen lighting the fire as he did every morning. And the bedroom had chilled off overnight, as I ran to jump into my clothes for school, so glad to be rid of the long underwear. But it seemed awfully bright out the bedroom window and it wasn’t an early morning sun either. I went to the window and lo and behold, the snow was coming down in buckets. And it looked like it had snowed all night. Then I heard Mother coming up the stairs. She had dug out the long underwear from the pile of clothes we had taken off the night before and without a word, handed them over to each of us. When we went downstairs for breakfast, our hats, mitts and scarves were waiting for us at the back door. Father came in from the
chores and sat down at the table for his breakfast. Mother was banging the frying pan around on the top of the stove. She was wearing the look she wore when she was as mad as a hatter. Father knew better than to mention the signs he had talked about the night before or to say, “I told you so,” when Mother hissed, “and I don’t want to hear about the deer eating low branches or spots of a pig’s liver.” The snow was as deep as it had been at the first of the winter and we would find out it would come down for the next three days. Even my brother Emerson, who usually had a lot to say, never opened his mouth at the kitchen table that morning except to shovel in some porridge and toast. It was the quietest breakfast we’d had in a long time. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books? Go to smashwords.com and type MaryRCook for e-book purchase details.

Nussbaum seeks to ban corporate and union donations Alex Robinson
alex.robinson@metroland.com
Tobi Nussbaum has launched an effort to get corporate and union money out of municipal politics. The Rideau-Rockcliffe councillor is looking to make good on a campaign promise to get rid of corporate and union campaign contributions by introducing a motion at city council that could lead to banning the practice.
“If you’re a member of a union or the owner of a corporation, you have two opportunities to donate and that’s a right that’s not afforded to other citizens,” he said. “So it really is an issue of equality and fairness and making sure we are treating people the same.” The Municipal Elections Act prohibits individuals from donating more than $750 to a single candidate or $5,000 in total. Members of unions or corporate executives get an

added opportunity to donate through those organizations. The rookie councillor made the issue central to his campaign and refused to accept any money from corporate donors or unions. Nussbaum’s motion will ask the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing to make an amendment the Municipal Elections Act allowing the city to pass a bylaw banning corporate and union contributions. “All this motion is doing is seeking to have legislation amended so that council has the power to enact such a bylaw,” Nussbaum said. “This motion is also about local control, local accountability – making sure that here in the city we’re the masters of our own destiny in terms of determining our campaign rules.” Ottawa would not be the first to ban such donations as Toronto successfully petitioned the province to do the same thing in 2009. Opponents of the changes have said the business community has the right to participate in the electoral process as much as individuals. “It is important to remember that the business community are the same people that built the homes we live

Tobi Nussbaum has introduced a motion to council to seek the province’s approval to ban corporate and union donations in Ottawa election campaigns. in, the offices we work in and the hotels we stay in when we travel,” said Orléans Coun. Bob Monette, who said his campaign received about half of its donations from corporate coffers in the past election. “So why would they not be able to participate?” Mayor Jim Watson also supports the status quo.
Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish, who accepted corporate donations during the recent election, supports Nussbaum’s motion. “I see it as another step in the direction of a cleaner municipal government and more transparency and accountability,” he said. He views the potential ban as an extension of current reforms brought into effect in the previous term of council, including the creation of the integrity commissioner’s position and the gift registry, which councillors use to disclose gifts they accept. Currently, city councillors are not permitted to accept gifts from a developer or corporation that has an active lobbying file with the city. “If we can’t accept (gifts) during non-campaigns in the four years, why is it that we can accept cheques from them (during the campaign) when chances are they have active files with the city or have lobbying efforts with the city?” Qaqish said. The motion is set to come up before city council for a vote on April 15. With files from Brier Dodge and Erin McCracken

Ottawa Hospital to cut 35 jobs alex.robinson@metroland.com
The Ottawa Hospital is set to slash 35 full time positions as part of cost-cutting measures to deal with a potential $26 million budget hole in 2015-16. Stagnant provincial funding and rising costs have led to budget cuts at the hospital over the last three years, said Cameron Love, the hospital’s chief operating officer. “Unfortunately the reduction in spending means we need to reduce our staffing levels and that’s because the salaries and benefits are the single biggest expense of our organization, accounting for up to two-thirds of our budget,” he said after notices were sent out on March 24. Love said the hospital has still been able to improve the quality of its service over the last three years, despite having to streamline some programs, but that if the hospital continues to have to make cuts it would be hard to sustain the quality of care.
“This is not something you can continue on with for 15 years with the same mechanism,” he said. The elimination of the 35 full time positions makes up part of $14 million in savings the hospital has already planned for. The hospital will announce further measures in the coming months to meet the additional $12 million, Love said. The eliminated positions will include nursing and administrative jobs at the hospital, which has 11,000 employees. The hospital will only be dropping the equivalent of 22 full time employees, as 13 of the positions are already vacant. Many hospitals across Ontario have had implement budget cuts over the last three years, as the provincial government has frozen the level of base funding. An aging population, inflation and general population growth have driven hospital costs up, as they try to do more with less. CHEO recently announced

it was eliminating more than 40 positions to deal with its own $6.7 million shortfall. Dr. Eric Hoskins, the minister of health and long-term care, responded to the job reduction announcement by the Ottawa Hospital by saying the government has boosted hospital funding from $11.3 billion in 2003-04 to $17 billion this year, including an increase of more than $200 million for Ottawa Hospital during that time. “Our healthcare system is dynamic,” he said in a statement. “As we add and change programs, staffing levels may change” “Our hospitals do excellent work and do not make these decisions lightly,” he added. “Hospitals are constantly looking at how to deliver quality care at lower costs in order to maintain the exceptional service that patients receive. Our expectation is that LHINs work together with hospitals in the community to manage their budgets and provide the highest quality of care to patients in their communities.”

The Royal to axe 18 positions amid budget crunch Increasing costs and frozen budget leads to $4.2 million gap Steph Willems
steph.willems@metroland.com
The Royal announced March 30 that it will be cutting staff positions as it wrestles with rising operational costs and a fixed budget. A total of 18 full-time positions will be cut from its overall compliment of 1,500 staff, while another 8.8 positions will be reclassified once they become vacant. The mental health centre said it believes most of the job reductions can be made through eliminating vacant positions, re-assigning staff and voluntary retirement. The news comes after the Ottawa Hospital and Children’s Hospital of Eastern On-
tario announced similar cuts to staffing levels. The root of the problem is a lack of increased funding from the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care as the province tries to reduce its $12.5 billion deficit. The Royal, which has a base operating budget of $161.4 million, hasn’t seen a funding increase in four years. The years 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 each saw a one per cent boost in funding. “Access to mental health care is a matter of growing importance to our community so we will continue to work towards reducing our wait times despite our challenge to reduce costs,” said George Weber, president and chief executive “That was way to easy!”
of the Royal, in a statement. “We hope that future funding will reflect the significance mental health and help us provide more services to more people – not only at the Royal but throughout the continuum of care.” The Royal pointed out that the treatment of mental health and addiction issues has been singled out by the provincial and federal governments as a high priority. On the same day as the announcement, the Ontario government pledged $587 million to combat homelessness. In addition to the staffing reductions, the Royal will be pursuing other cost-saving measures to make up the funding gap. “I just clicked and saved 90%”

Ravens celebrate fifth consecutive championship
The Olde Forge Seni
Star players move on, leaving dynastic legacy Alex Robinson
alex.robinson@metroland.com
Celebrating Carleton University’s fifth consecutive men’s basketball championship was a bittersweet affair for Thomas Scrubb. The 6-foot-5 Ravens forward and his younger brother, Phil, have been pillars of the team’s success during the last five years, but are both set to graduate and move on. “It’ll be hard,” the older Scrubb said at a rally on March 23, celebrating the championship. “I’m just going to try to take everything I’ve learned on this team and carry it towards whatever I do with my life.” The duo are hoping to play professional basketball next year, but do not know where they might end up. The brothers have grown up playing on the same team, but the chances of that continuing at the professional level are slim. “It’s still basketball. It’s not going to affect me too much,” Scrubb said of the
prospect of playing on a different team from his brother. “I’d like him to be there, but if I go pro I’m going to be there to play basketball.” The Carleton University men’s basketball team celebrated its fifth consecutive Canadian Interuniversity Sport championship at a rally on March 23. The Ravens beat the University of Ottawa GeeGees 93-46 in a lopsided final game in mid-March. The win was the university’s 10th CIS championship in 12 years. Phil won tournament MVP after he scored 28 points and had 10 assists in the championship game. Thomas had 20 points and 12 rebounds. “They always say it doesn’t matter if you win or lose – it’s how you play the game, but it sure is nice to win,” said Roseann O’Reilly Runte, president of Carleton University, at the rally. The championship capped off a season in which the team faced the most adversity it has in years, losing two regular season games. “We just went through a

Rescue puppy on mend thanks to Ottawa residents Crowd-funding campaign launched to offset medical bills erin.mccracken@metroland.com
When Rawan Abujoub recently travelled to Ecuador, she never imagined that among her souvenirs she would be bringing back something with four legs. The Glebe resident and Carleton University communications student volunteered for two weeks in late February with children-in-need in Ecuador’s capital city of Quito. When she spotted a puppy in a market, she was instantly drawn to the small threemonth-old animal, which looked much younger because he was malnourished. The puppy didn’t have an owner, which tugged at her heartstrings.
“Initially, I felt very sad,” said Abujoub, 23. “There’s a lot of stray dogs, but I had never seen one so small.” She set out to take the mixed-breed dog to a shelter, but was told there was no space for him and that he would likely be euthanized as a result, prompting her to seek out a veterinarian who gave him his shots, checked him over and cared for Theodore Bear, or Teddy, until Abujoub was set to fly home in a few days’ time. When she told her friend and co-traveller, Nepean resident and Algonquin College student Jonathon Myles, her plans, he wasn’t sold on the idea, not knowing the rules around bringing animals back to Canada.

The study has involved a review and evaluation of alternative design options leading to a recommended functional design concept that has the highest likelihood of implementation based on technical feasibility, affordability and community input. If adopted, the City would co-ordinate the works with the planned street resurfacing of Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor Street (Somerset to Isabella) and work towards implementation of the bikeway starting in 2016. The project is being planned to meet the requirements of Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act that may apply.

Hunting boundaries changed after bullet hits home Megan DeLaire
mdelaire@metroland.com
City of Ottawa/Submitted
An updated map shows the new discharge of firearms boundaries in Barrhaven. The original map’s boundaries ended short of neighbourhoods built after it was drafted. map.” The need to establish new boundaries became apparent after a house on Nutgrove Avenue was hit by a small calibre bullet on Jan. 1. News of the in-
cident spread quickly through the community and members of the Half Moon Bay Community Association contacted Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder within days to discuss a solu-
street sits about 850 metres west of where the original map showed the boundary ending. Ryan Knuth is a member of the Half Moon Bay Community Association and lives on Nutgrove Avenue. Aware that changing a bylaw isn’t an airtight solution, he still feels like the community has gained some ground. “Unfortunately there are still times when people don’t obey the law,” Knuth said.
“But if anything it means peace of mind for those of us who live down there, and also for people who are buying homes in the area.” West Carleton is also currently under review to have its discharge of firearms boundaries updated. Chapman said other wards could be affected in the future. To view discharge of firearms boundaries go to www. ottawa.ca and search “By-law No.2002-334.”

It took a stray bullet hitting a home in early February to raise the issue of safe hunting in Barrhaven. But as of March 26, there should be no confusion surrounding where in Barrhaven a gun can legally be discharged. A motion to amend a map that dictates where in Barrhaven a gun can be discharged was passed by city council on March 25. The updated map is scheduled to replace the original one on March 26 and reflects housing developments made in the Half Moon Bay area. It extends the prohibition zone from Greenbank Road west to Highway 416, and from the Jockvale River south to Trail Road. “All we wanted to do was just clarify (boundaries) using the map,” said Roger Chapman, head of bylaw and regulatory services. “So including Half Moon Bay and those developments, showing it on the
tion. Harder worked with the city’s bylaw and regulatory services to review the map and update it to protect newer neighbourhoods. The issue, Harder said, is that the original map was drafted in 2001, five years before development began in the Half Moon Bay area. “The last time it was reviewed was before there were homes there, and now, of course, there are thousands,” she said. In 2002 a bylaw was enacted which outlawed firing a gun within 450 metres of a subdivision, school, public building or place of worship. This means it hasn’t been legal to fire a gun in the area of Barrhaven between Greenbank and Hwy. 416 since housing development began there in 2006, but the confusion lay in the outdated map. While this is the first recorded incident of a stray bullet hitting a home in Barrhaven, people are known to hunt in a forested area not far from Nutgrove Avenue. The

Hollywood star learned to dance at Kanata studio Adam Kveton
adam.kveton@metroland.com
For Elite Dance Studio director Gail MacMurray, the romantic blockbuster The Notebook plucks at a few different heartstrings than for most. The first time she saw it, she was in tears, rather like the rest of the audience. But, for her, they were tears of joy for her former dance student Ryan Gosling. “I just thought, ‘Oh my gosh, look at him now,’” she said. News that Gosling was a dance student with Elite Dance Studio in Kanata came out the week of March 9, when vid-
eos of a young Gosling performing a dance routine with a group of girls surfaced on YouTube and began making a stir. Now one of the videos has more than 800,000 views, and MacMurray and her dance studio have been thrust into the limelight after it was discovered that she had been the one to teach him at her Kanata studio. It’s a connection MacMurray has never bragged about, she said, but she is very proud of her student. “He just had so much rhythm,” she said of 11-yearold Gosling. “He was charismatic, like he could just track the crowd from a very young
age, even adults.” Those were traits she picked out at a small talent competition on CJOH TV on a program called Homegrown Café. “My daughter happened to be on it at the same time that he was on it,” said MacMurray. “I saw him dancing and I thought, ‘You know, he need to get properly trained.’” So MacMurray spoke with Gosling’s parents and convinced them to enrol their son in her studio, meaning they would have to commute from Cornwall to Kanata two days a week. MacMurray saw dancing as the last weapon Gosling would need in his performance arse-

A young Ryan Gosling is surrounded by his fellow dancers from the Elite Dance Studio in Kanata. nal to have a chance at making it big. “He played instruments, he sang. All he needed to get was the dancing part,” she said. Never shy, Gosling did what he was told, adding his own charismatic flair, to develop his talent and become a triple threat, said MacMurray. “He could just shake it, and he was not afraid,” she said. The YouTube videos, posted by username Shaun
Swire, have gained more than a million views altogether. They depict Gosling performing during a dance recital at Centrepointe Theatre in 1992 along with other dancers, including MacMurray’s daughter, Natalie Tessier. As Gosling developed, MacMurray thought it was time he had an agent, and counselled Gosling’s parents to look into getting him one in Montreal, she said.
“We knew it wouldn’t take long before somebody would sign him up,” said MacMurray. Soon enough, Gosling was chosen to be on the Mickey Mouse Club TV series after auditioning in 1993. “It was very sad to see him go, because he was one of our super stars, you know,” said MacMurray. Over the years, MacMurray has delighted in watching as her former student’s star soared, cutting out articles about him in People Magazine and posting them in the dance studio’s office. With the YouTube videos out, a lot of publicity has been generated for the studio, said MacMurray. But the connection to Gosling has also given some inspiration to MacMurray’s current students during the busy and often intimidating competition season. After reaching out to Gosling’s agency, Anonymous Content, the company responded that they would not be commenting on the dancing videos.

Ottawa rap group drops first full-length album adam.kveton@metroland.com
Three guys from Kanata are hoping to teach Ottawa hip-hop groups a thing or two about innovation with their first fulllength album that brings a new sound to what they think is a stale scene. The album, released on March 5, is titled + + +, a nod to the group’s name, The Adding Machine. Taking on the name of a 1923 play by Elmer Rice where an accountant of 25 years is replaced by an adding machine, the group’s intention to bring something new to Ottawa seemed clear from the beginning. Echoing the plot of the play, Johnny McArthur, a.k.a. Defckon, said, “Instead of everybody (in Ottawa’s hip-hop scene) doing the exact same thing over and over again, we essentially wanted to replace that.” The group’s new album tries to introduce something new, he said, with the help of the other
two members of The Adding Machine: Arreh Searag, a.k.a. Yuukon, and Ethan Howieson, a.k.a. E.on. The rappers are quick to note that, when you think of rap or hip-hop, your mind doesn’t automatically think that it would come out of Kanata. But in the age of the internet, growing up in Bridlewood and Glen Cairn wasn’t an insurmountable barrier to indulging in hip-hop culture. Taking inspiration from acts like the Wu-Tang Clan, Nas, Three 6 Mafia, Kid Cudi and others, McArthur, Howieson and Searag got together back in 2011 to try their hand at making music. While a passion for hip-hop fuelled their work, the group acknowledges that rap music was also the easiest way to start making music. “We didn’t really have a jam space or anything like that,” said McArthur. “(But with rap) I can literally have a microphone in my room and have the guys come over and we can make a record together with just a single microphone.”

Arreh Searag, a.k.a. Yuukon, left, Johnny McArthur, a.k.a. Defckon, and Ethan Howieson, a.k.a. E.on, make up The Adding Machine – a rap group which released its first fulllength album on March 5. The three members grew up in Kanata, and hope to bring a new sound to Ottawa. The group released a mixtape and an EP, which proved there was an interest for their music in Ottawa, gaining some downloads and attention. The Adding Machine has since performed at venues like Ritual, Babylon, Zaphod’s and others, and has worked to distill their sound to something they say is new and innovative.
Pet Adoptions Meet Frank (ID# A174936), a funny, chatty kitty who lives with gusto, enjoying everything about being a cat — from cuddles and cat food to meowing! This sweet boy is being cared for by a dedicated Ottawa Humane Society foster volunteer until he meets his forever family. He’s a foodie who always looks forward to mealtime and will follow you to the kitchen, chatting up a storm to tell you how his day went and how much he missed you while you prepare his dish. After getting his fill, Frank loves to curl up on the rug or hop onto your lap for cuddles and massages before retiring by your side as you sleep. He loves shoulder surfing and loves to walk on a leash! He is cooperative, tolerant, easy to handle, and affectionate. For more information on Frank 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.

Adding to their hip-hop influences, the group drew on local hardcore metal music to make + + +. “We really wanted to bring an energy and sound to the album that would go over really well live,” said Howieson. “We grew up in the hardcore scene, the metal scene in Ottawa going to shows when
we were in high school and university,” he said. Hoping to liven up some of their own live performances, the group took cues from metal music, and infused their work with that same heavy, angry, energetic vibe that gets the crowd on their feet. That certainly comes through in their music, which they describe as a response to the lack of innovation in Ottawa’s hip-hop scene. “A lot of people’s music, it’s like smiley and nice,” said MacArthur. “It’s like, ‘Yeah, you get a pat on the back. We are all great in Ottawa.’ We wanted to do something to sort of turn it on its head.” That means purposefully rubbing people the wrong way and not conforming to the norm, as evidenced by the new album’s cover – a cow corpse with everything below the head stripped to the bone. Even the album’s name, + + +, which MacArthur describes as “wholly ungoogleable,” is consciously anti-corporate. The album is available to
download at any price, including for free. Despite that, the group’s profits have been adding up. “It’s kind of strange seeing money come into our bank,” said Searag, but also proves that there is an appetite for their sound. With plays of their new album growing into the thousands, The Adding Machine will look to hold an album release house party and make some music videos to gain some more exposure. They also hope to tour around Ontario and Quebec, bringing something new from Ottawa to the rest of the province and beyond. “It would be awesome to make it out of here and say we are hip-hop artists basically from Kanata,” said Searag. “It’s something totally different. So that is kind of a personal drive to get that done and see what we can do with it.” To check out The Adding Machine’s new album, go to theaddingmachine.bandcamp. com.

Great News for Elephants
0402.R0013201334
The Ottawa Humane Society has been long opposed to captive wild animals in entertainment. In 2002, the OHS lobbied city council to ban elephants and other captive wild animals in circuses and other entertainment. The city instead instituted a licensing regime. The OHS responded that the city should not license animal cruelty. In making its decision to phase out elephant acts by 2018, Ringling Bros. cited “a mood shift among
our consumers.” It also cited the difficulty of fighting local legislation that would affect its shows. The local legislation it is are referring to ranges from outright bans to the use of the notorious bullhook, a hooked tool commonly inserted in elephants’ skin to train and corral them. In the company’s statement, its CEO is quoted, “This decision was not easy, but it is in the best interest of our company, our elephants and our customers.” The fact that the

elephants’ interests were cited is not only new, but a tacit admission that the animals’ welfare was not served by the company’s practices. Today, only the annual Shrine Circus is a regular fixture in Ottawa. There is no legislation on the horizon. But in the end, money talks. It spoke to Ringling Bros. and it’s taking action. You can make your money talk by not supporting the Shrine or any circus.

City recognizes OLG for funding community enhancements Slots at Rideau Carleton Raceway have generated more than $57M for city Ottawa West News staff
Special recognition was recently given to the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation slots at the Rideau Carleton Raceway in south Ottawa. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury, on behalf of the city, presented the corporation with a certificate at the Jules Morin Park fieldhouse on March 20, marking the more than $5 million the city received in 2014
from revenues generated by the slots at the raceway. Those dollars bolster the city’s general revenues account and have been used on community enhancement projects, such as recreation buildings, the Jules Morin Park field-
house in Lower Town, retrofitting buildings with accessibility features and affordable housing. Fleury said communities across the city benefit from the partnership. “It is heartening to see our parks bustling with residents enjoying
services like wading pools, playgrounds, sports fields, pathways with lighting, community gardens, picnic areas and trees,” he said in a statement on March 20. The slots at the raceway, located on Albion Road just south of Findlay Creek, have so far generated more than $57.7 million in non-tax gaming revenue for the city.
Larry Flynn, OLG’s senior vicepresident of gaming, said the corporation is proud to be an important part of the city for more than 15 years. “Since opening OLG Slots at Rideau Carleton Raceway in February 2000, Ottawa continues to do some remarkable things with this revenue for the benefit of its citizens,” he said in the statement.

Blondin tops podium at World Cup Final Ottawa speed skater golden again Ottawa West News staff
OrlĂŠans native Ivanie Blondin took home a gold medal at the World Cup Finals held in Germany on March 22. Meanwhile, Cumberlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vincent de HaĂŽtre also found himself on the podium at the event held in Erfurt, Germany, claiming a bronze. Blondin was the season champion in her best event, the mass start. She went into the final race of the world cup season in first place, with Dutch skater Irene Schouten close behind in total points accumulated. Schouten fell and finished in 16th place,
leaving the field wide open for Blondin to clinch her victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would have preferred to have a real competition with Irene Schouten, but it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen because of her fall, which happened right in front of me,â&#x20AC;? said Blondin in a Speed Skating Canada press release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After that, I told myself that I just needed to stay on my skates and not take any chances. I was going for the season title and I did it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I even was part of the last sprint at the end. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m quite happy about the result. Blondin said it was like a â&#x20AC;&#x153;consolation prizeâ&#x20AC;? from fin-

OrlĂŠans native Ivanie Blondin picked up her latest medal in a successful season with a gold medal from the World Cup finals in Germany on March 22. ishing second in the event at the World Single Distance Championships.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;This title is a big deal for me. I would have liked to have won the world title at the
World Single Distance Championships, but I finished second,â&#x20AC;? she said in the release. She picked up medals throughout the season in the mass start, earning two gold, one silver, and one bronze. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the first year where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve performed as well, and earned so many podiums,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a great leap ahead in my development. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also quite motivating to know that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m at this level now, even if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m smaller than most of the other skaters on the World Cup circuit. This is very positive.â&#x20AC;? She also finished eighth in the final standings for the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3,000 metre race. Blondin, who currently trains in Calgary, got her start
with the Gloucester Concordes in OrlĂŠans, just as Vincent de HaĂŽtre did. De HaĂŽtre won his first individual medal at the senior international level on March 21 with a bronze medal in the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1,000 metre event, which was won by fellow Canadian Denny Morrison. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was a little bit hesitant at the start, but I was able to concentrate after that and I simply tried to take my time and stay relaxed,â&#x20AC;? said de HaĂŽtre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m enormously happy with winning my first World Cup medal, especially after coming so close at my very first World Cup in Japan.â&#x20AC;? He posted a personal best time in the 1,000 metre event at the international level during the race. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be happier to stand on the podium with my teammate Vincent De HaĂŽtre,â&#x20AC;? said Morrison.
