Trustees nail down public board staff cuts
GO SENS GO!
OttawaCommunityNews.com
Lengthy, heated meeting ultimately aimed for balance Steph Willems
steph.willems@metroland.com
Trustees of the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, many of them new to the job, were put in an uncomfortable position on March 31 as they decided which staff positions will be cut for the coming fiscal year. Ultimately, the group chose to spread the cuts over a wider group,
though it meant four special education positions would still be eliminated. With operational costs rising and provincial funding stagnant, the board needed to find efficiencies to cover the shortfall. Staffing makes up the majority of the board’s expenditures, where a portion of the $7-to-$8-million in savings needed to be found. See SPEND, page 6

Nature takes its toll The view along the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway and its adjacent bike paths will be less obstructed this coming summer, following a flurry of tree cutting on National Capital Commission land. The scorched skeletons of ash trees killed in recent years by the emerald ash borer have been removed to make way for new plantings. Warmer weather and receding snow have revealed the extent of the work, which began over the winter. A total of 600 ash trees are being removed from the parkway and Fisher Park areas.

The streetscape of Preston Street would see a new addition if a proposed development goes forward. A site plan application for the northwest corner of Preston and Laurel streets has been submitted to the city in support of a five-storey mixed-use development. The subject site encompasses 166 and 170 Preston St. and 9 Laurel St., which are two-storey buildings containing apartments. The site’s zoning falls under a traditional mainstreet designation, which calls for mixed-use developments of four to six storeys. In this regard, the proposed development aligns with the plan for that area, though a minor variance
is being sought to permit “a building height that is marginally in excess of the current zoning,” according to the project’s planning rationale. Renderings submitted alongside the planning rationale shows a brick and masonry structure with a fifth floor setback. The building would contain 15 units (four two-bedroom and 11 one-bedroom), with ground floor retail located on both Preston and Laurel streets. An underground parking garage, accessed via a municipal laneway to the west of the property, would contain 10 vehicle spaces, with another four spaces located at ground level. Comments related to the development will be accepted from the public until April 27, with a city staff decision date expected by May 31.

City hall alive with the sound of music
to Aug. 6 this summer, but also puts chamber music in the path of people who may not know they like it. “It’s a perfect opportunity for new people to encounter what we do,” McFarland said. While the series will hopefully drive paying customers to Chamberfest events later this summer, McFarland said the city hall series is more than a prelude: not all of the performers on the spring line-up will take part in the festival, for one thing, and the series is also part of the society’s larger mandate to educate the public on the joys of chamber music. And the concerts are good for city hall, as well. Mayor Jim Watson told the crowd gathered on April 1 that city staff has worked hard to make city hall a “people place” and a gathering spot to take in local arts and culture. “I encourage all residents to make their way to city hall for one or all of the performances,” Watson said. The annual Chamberfest is the largest of its kind in the world. This year it includes 450 artists and more than 100

City opens $50K fund for homeless drop-in centres Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
Council has agreed to carve up $50,000 between a handful of local organizations running day programs for the city’s homeless population, in an effort to ease the blow of recent federal funding cuts.
The federal government announced earlier this year that it will focus most of its budget for combating homelessness on just that – putting people in homes. While that’s a welcome policy for most anti-poverty advocates, the shift has left organizations that run day
programs and drop-in centres for homeless people in the lurch. The Odawa homeless dropin centre at 510 Rideau St. is slated to close by the end of April, for example, and organizations like Centre 507, the Well and Cornerstone women’s shelters have been faced
with the prospect of drastic cuts when funding gives out at the end of March. But Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney bought some of those agencies more time on March 25 after she successfully passed a motion at council to make $50,000 available to bridge the fund-
ing gap. The one-time emergency funding would only be available to the handful of organizations who deliver day programs on behalf of the city, McKenney said. The Odawa centre is not one of them, since it only received federal funding and
isn’t under contract from the city. McKenney said Cornerstone, Centre 507 and the Well would qualify. While McKenney said the emergency pot won’t backfill all of the funding lost from federal and provincial cuts – nor is it meant to – the extra money will at least keep the organizations afloat while they transition to the new realities of a housing-first funding model.

Not hearing clearly when many people are talking? Many people find that they are no longer able to understand everything, particularly when in the company of others. Engineered in Switzerland, System Audéo V has been designed specifically to understand in group situations. Themajorityofthosesurveyedstated that when exposed to considerable background noise they are able to hear that something is being spoken, but can no longer discern precisely what is being said. The words seem blurred and indistinct. But why is that? The effect tends to manifest itselfincompany,orintherestaurant. It is the high-pitched tones perceived at the entrance to the cochlea that are decisive when it comes to hearing things accurately. In the majority of cases these parts of the inner ear are the first to be affected by noise or aging. As the high-pitched tones are no longer perceived well, the auditory center of the brain begins to struggle to decode language. It’s a bit like an image that doesn’t have enough pixels.

Ottawa & Area - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away altogether.

Hearing sensation! Swiss researchers: Audéo V is superior for conversation.
Without Audéo V
With Audéo V SWISS HEARING TECHNOLOGY
The new Audéo V devices ensure considerably clearer reproduction of spoken language in company.
Hear conversations clearly with the Phonak Audéo V.
New hearing chip developed Swiss audiologists have developed a new hearing chip that restores speech comprehension, particularly with hearing loss in the highfrequency range. People can test the new Audéo V system by Phonak simply by calling now to do so. The test phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role a new technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The chip recognizes where the person being spoken to
is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this significantly augments speech comprehension, especially in conversation.

‘Spend, spend, spend methodology’ lamented by some trustees Continued from page 1
A staff report to the committee of the whole a week earlier had called for a loss of 14.67 special education positions, in addition to other cuts that totalled 28.71 full-time equivalents. A motion tabled by board chairwoman Shirley Seward and passed by trustees on March 24 instructed staff to take the special education cuts off the table and find the savings elsewhere. As the clock ticked towards the March 31 midnight deadline for staffing decisions, trustees searched for a way to ensure the cuts didn’t disproportionally impact the most vulnerable students. After consulting with staff, Zone 3 trustee Donna Blackburn intro-
duced a substitute motion calling for a total of four special education positions (two learning support teachers and two learning resource teachers) to be eliminated and a further four instructional coach positions to be cut (on top of staff’s proposed reduction of five coaches). A second central principal position cut was included in the motion after an amendment by Zone 12 trustee Sandra Schwartz passed. “What I proposed, I think is a balanced approach,” said Blackburn, who supported Seward’s original motion calling for no special education cuts. “I think we should meet staff halfway.” Seward, Zone 9 trustee Shawn Menard and Zone 2 trustee Christine Boothby spoke out against the motion, though trustees Lynn Scott (Zone 1)
and Mark Fisher (Zone 7) said they felt it provided a reasonable solution to an imperfect situation. Director of Education Jennifer Adams spoke to the situation and the alternate staffing proposal that was at the heart of Blackburn’s motion. “To be frank, we haven’t been in a reduction mode in quite a while,” said Adams. “This is what we’ve been looking at for several months now. We would prefer not to make any reduction to any staff, but … our way of thinking now is that if we have to make reductions, we have to make them in a balanced way across many performance areas.” Ultimately, the substitute motion was defeated after a tied vote, at which point the original motion from the March 24 meeting was put on the table to be amended. Ellis moved that the motion be

amended to include no cuts to special education, at the expense of a further eight instructional coaches eliminated. Schwartz remarked that while she was a huge proponent of special education, “I feel we’re robbing Peter to pay Paul here,” adding that the province was doing a huge disservice to the program by underfunding it. A 13-full-time-equivalent reduction in instructional coaches would mean a loss of one third of the positions in the board’s elementary schools, she said. Trustee Menard then moved to amend Ellis’s amendment calling for an additional eight cuts to instructional coaches, reducing the number to the original staff-supported five positions. “We’re whittling the reductions down to nothing,” said Fisher. “We’re adding all the spending back in, hoping that there’ll be savings found in phase 2 (of the budget). It’s a spend, spend, spend methodology that’s not going to work these next three years.” Scott remarked that the group was “lurching from one extreme to another.” The board’s chief financial officer, Michael Carson, said that about $2.5 million in savings would have
to be found in staffing, as phase 2 of the process covers facilities, maintenance and services – something that carries very fixed costs. Menard responded to Fisher’s remarks by saying that even with the special education staff and extra instructional coaches taken off the chopping block, they were still coming close to meeting Carson’s savings targets. Those amendments to the original motion didn’t pass when put to individual votes, leaving the trustees against the wall and running out of time. Scott then moved that Blackburn’s original substitute motion be reconsidered. When tabled, it carried, though by a slim margin. The exhausting evening spent deciding unpleasant things clearly frayed the nerves of some trustees, leading Seward to allay worries about the conduct of the meeting. “I think the debate tonight was extremely healthy,” said Seward. “I don’t see disagreement on policy as ‘not getting along’ – we were elected to engage in healthy debate.” The budget process will continue through the spring, with the final, staff-recommended budget being presented to the committee of the whole on May 12.

Take up fight against fraud
E
ach year, thousands of people across the country lose millions of dollars through scams and fraudulent schemes. The way to combat this is through public awareness. Let’s talk about fraud, open up a dialogue and report on the harmful aspects of this type of victimization. According to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, 66 per cent of Canadian-based mass marketing fraud that took place in 2014 was Internet and email based. Twenty per cent was conducted over the phone and the majority of victims are ages 50 to 70. Fraud is a terrible thing. It preys on honest citizens who are perhaps investing funds to save for retirement, or making a donation to a charity they trust. When the relationships break down and the money is gone, many victims feel shame and embarrassment. However, they can play an important role in investigating fraud, but the anti-fraud centre says just
five per cent report the crimes. If they share their stories, they could prevent other family members, friends or neighbours from falling for the same scams. Lottery and prize fraud schemes are also on the rise, and the CAFC says that in 2014 more than 4,000 Canadians reported prize or lottery fraud and 652 of those lost a total of more than $4.3 million. We should all keep in mind the old adage, “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.� Keep in mind that most banking institutions and legal firms don’t send out blanket form emails to people asking for their personal information, so don’t give that information to anyone unless you have verified they are a company you deal with and know. Doing a bit of homework and taking a few extra steps could make all the difference in not becoming a victim of fraud. There’s no shame in doing a good deed or saving for your future. We all just need to be a little more careful where we put our hard-earned money.

Philanthropy, brought to you by ‌
T
he dictionary defines charity as “the voluntary giving of help, typically in the form of money, to those in need.� But the dictionary was written a few years ago. A more modern definition might read something like this: “the voluntary giving of help, typically in the form of money, to those in need, as long as the donor gets his name on a plaque.� This is what we draw from recent trends in philanthropy, including the revelation the National Capital Commission has reversed its policy barring onsite donor recognition. Instead of just mulling it over, as many of us would do, the NCC followed the familiar governmental pattern in paying $35,000 for some consultants to do the mulling.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town The consultants’ report, quoted in the Ottawa Citizen, concluded that: “Donors are sometimes deterred from contributing upon learning that no indication of their contribution will be placed near the commemoration itself. Opening up the possibility of onsite donor recognition would likely increase the availability of private sector funds for the program.� In other words, you don’t put the guy’s name up somewhere, he doesn’t kick in.

ration with lots of dough, that hurts. It’s not that there’s anything particularly new about the concept. Donors rarely go unrecognized these days. University buildings and even seminar rooms are named after people and corporations. Concert programs list donors, sometimes even telling how much they gave. Museums have galleries with people’s names on them. It’s getting so life is beginning to resemble televised sporting events, where the first period is brought to you by somebody, the power play is brought to you by somebody else, and the out-of-town scoreboard is made possible for another corporation that paid for the privilege. None of which is to denigrate the spirit of giving.

private donors. Not all of us are so generous and many important parts of our lives would not be possible without that generosity. But, leafing through the program, don’t you have a sneaking admiration for good old Anonymous? It’s human nature to expect thanks for the good deeds, and it’s common courtesy to extend those thanks. But have we reached the point where no monument can go up without an indication of the contributors? If that’s true, we can at least hope Anonymous will be among them. A monument is supposed to be about what it’s about – whether it’s victims of communism or the Stanley Cup. And it should stand or not stand on the merits of the idea, not on the number of people who are willing to give financially to it.

Countering episodes of anxiety
A
nyone who’s suffered anxiety – and most of us have at one time or another – knows there’s nothing funny about it. The lack of focus, that feeling of being overwhelmed by the littlest things. In extreme cases, anxiety can cause shortness of breath, blurred vision and dizziness leading to panic attacks, all of which are scary. In prolonged and severe cases, it can be very difficult for a person suffering from anxiety to get help because the even the smallest steps toward wellness appear as insurmountable mountain peaks. But anxiety can be sneaky, often starting as mild or situational anxiety. My bet is that, after the long and very cold winter we’ve had, millions of Canadians are experiencing mild forms of anxiety right now, people that aren’t accounted for in official statistics. There are a few things
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse that can counter the effects of mild anxiety to try to keep it from snowballing into something much bigger. Avoid alcohol. If the thought of saying no to that after-work drink makes you more anxious, see how you feel after a few days without it. A cocktail at the end of the day may seem medicinal and relaxing – and one drink often is – but it can be easy to go overboard. As tipsy as you get in the evening, the more anxious you’ll often feel the next day. Breathe out. Maybe you’re about to step into a job inter-

view, write an exam or walk into a room full of strangers. Contrary to the cliche of “take a deep breath,” forcing breath out of your lungs is actually a much more effective in-the-moment technique. Try exhaling as if holding a straw between your lips. Push the air out hard, but for a long time. Count to 10. To repeat, inhale for five seconds and then breathe out for 10. Get some vitamin D. The jury’s out on whether or not supplements are actually effective, but there’s no doubt the real thing is essential to wellness. Now that the sun is high

in the sky, it’s much easier to get a dose of D naturally. It may still be too cold to get the full effect of the sunshine drug – which requires bare legs and arms for maximum impact – but standing in the sun, particularly when it’s at its highest can still have an amazing restorative effect. Go natural. There are a number of theories across multiple disciplines that link modern anxiety to city living. Contrary to the harsh, repetitive lines in the built environment, nature is made up of abstract shapes. When in nature, it’s hard to focus on any one thing for too long and this has a positive impact on our brains. I liken the brain to a muscle. In built and indoor environments, we seize the muscle, blocked in by walls and stunted by straight lines and artificial noise, making us irritable and often anxious. In nature, on the other hand, our focus is constantly shifting: we can look further, we can see more and, although it may seem paradoxical, our exercised brain is calmer as a result. Get moving. I’m not suggesting running a marathon every day, or even that you run at all. But if you feel anxiety creeping into your day, try taking a brisk walk around the block. A quick stint of cardio gets blood pumping into your brain, which can minimize anxiety. It has the added benefit of getting your creative juices flowing and makes you a more effective problem solver. Finally, make some time in your day to pray or meditate. While nature offers a needed stimulant to the brain, we also need to take it to the other extreme, calm things down and focus intently on something for a few minutes each day. Anxiety can be sneaky. It can be hard to talk yourself into a walk, or even to breathe when you’re experiencing it. Try practising these things before it creeps up so you can train yourself to respond before that debilitating moment, and maybe help a friend do the same.

City Councillor/Conseiller Municipal River Ward/Quartier Rivière Traffic Calming Initiatives Continuing on the work that the former Councillor initiated in River Ward, all locations that had the yellow flex-sticks in the middle of the street in 2014, will return again in 2015. Those locations are as follows: Anna Ave (between Marshall and Admiral), Central Park Drive (between Whiteshone and Manhattan-East), Dynes Road, Kochar Drive (between Amita Cres) and Larose Ave (between McBride and Larkin). In addition to those streets, City staff are adding a few streets as well in 2015 as follows: Caldwell Avenue (between Medford and Morisset), Falaise Road (between Claymor and Prince of Wales) and Normandy Crescent (between Apeldoorn and Prince of Wales). I wish to acknowledge that not all residents are enamored with the yellow flex-sticks, I heard you when I visited you on your front step. My current focus is to deploy inexpensive, yet effective options that are proven to reduce speed. I always welcome your constructive feedback on other viable options to consider on our residential streets. Cleaning the Capital Registration Underway The City’s Cleaning the Capital Campaign is a citywide cleanup initiative that occurs every spring and fall. This Spring’s campaign runs from April 15-May 15, 2015. If you register your litter or graffiti removal project by April 14, you will be eligible to win an early bird prize. For more information please visit Ottawa. ca/Clean. Last year, a number of River Ward residents received recognition awards for their participation in this program. Let us do our part to keep River Ward clean and green.

Shoppers walk by the Future Shop in South Keys on Saturday, March 28. The location was set to reopen on April 4 as a Best Buy, and was one of 65 Future Shops that are being rebranded as part of the company’s consolidation plans. block. “Many of our Future Shop stores will be renovated and rebranded as Best Buy stores,” the company announced on its website the day of the closure. Best Buy Canada said the store and website consolidation is being done “to strengthen its position as Canada’s leading provider of consumer electronics products, services and solutions” and that “it has reviewed its real-estate footprint to address the fact that a significant number of its Future Shop and Best Buy stores are located adjacent to each other, often in the same parking lot.” Eighty per cent of the company’s customers will continue to be within a 15-minute drive to one of its stores, Ron Wilson, president and chief operating officer of Best Buy Canada, said in a statement. “We will continue to have a strong store presence in all major markets in Canada.” The nationwide closure eliminates 1,000 part-time and
500 part-time jobs across the country. A company spokesman declined to provide the number of employees affected in the Ottawa area. Faris, however, hopes the newly rebranded locations in the capital region will be able to absorb many of the now out-ofwork employees. The company has said these people will be granted severance pay, employee assistance and outplacement support. “Any decisions that impact our people are never taken lightly; our first priority is to support them through this change,” Wilson said. “From a business perspective just having any less competition is not a good thing, but from a jobs perspective hopefully a lot of these jobs will stay around with renamed Best Buy stores.”
Still, despite the Future Shop closures and the departure of Target, Ottawa’s retail market is growing, Faris said.

While some shoppers were surprised when they were recently met with locked doors at several Ottawa Future Shop locations, the head of the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce was surprised it took the company until now to consolidate its two electronic retail brands: Future Shop and Best Buy. “I’m surprised it took this long to rationalize that, just having the two brands out there,” said Ian Faris, president and chief executive officer of the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce. While he doesn’t think the closures will impact the consumer in terms of location, “on a weekly sales basis … in store and in their flyers, there might be deals that don’t happen,” Faris said. Parent company Best Buy Canada announced Saturday, March 28 it was permanently shuttering 66 Future Shops across Canada, including locations in Kanata and Nepean. Another 65 locations have been closed for a week and were set to re-open Saturday, April 4 as Best Buy stores, as part of the company’s plans to consolidate Future Shop under the Best Buy brand.

Father’s love for the farm was obvious
T
MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories Father would be pleased that the barnyard had cleared of snow, and the cows could graze on dry land. He would never tolerate any of the farm animals wallowing around in mud, and often I saw him move them from one place to another just to keep them on drier land. As I came out of the the lane, I could see patches of snow still here and there on the Twenty-Acre Field that separated our farm from the Thoms’s house. It would have to be completely dry before the planting.

I neared the swing gate and then I saw Father. He was leaning on the fence that circled the barnyard – most unusual for him at that time of day. He was wearing what we called his “between winter and summer” hat. It was more of a cap, with lugs that he didn’t bother to tuck up, but just let them dangle around his ears like flapping wings. Father waved at me and I waved back and when I got within a few yards from him he told me to leave my school bag near the gate as
he had something to show me in the barn. Goose eggs, maybe? Or a new litter of kittens that appeared as regular as clockwork? But no, Father wouldn’t be excited enough about either to meet me at the gate. He took me by the hand, as if I didn’t know where the barn was. I felt the warmth and the roughness of a hand that had only known hard work and long hours, but I felt a comfort too. He took me to the farthest end of the barn, past the stalls of where the cows were kept, and into the darkest crevices of the barn at the very south end, never letting go of my hand. I could smell the fresh hay that had been mounded in the corner, thrown down from the hayloft above. Father said nothing, just leaned over the low stall boards, and let me adjust my eyes to
the darkness, and then I saw what Father had taken me into the barn for. “Would you look at that,” he said so softly I could barely make out what he was saying, and I could hear a wonder in his voice. And there in the corner of that small stall was one of our ewes, and beside her two newly born lambs, their wool still damp from their birth. One was wobbling on legs that looked like little white sticks, and the other curled up beside its mother, two tiny bundles of white fluff. We leaned into the stall for the longest time, saying nothing. The mother sheep was eyeing us, and the two little lambs, fresh from birth, trying to find their place in this new world they had been born into. I realized Father was still holding my hand. We came out of the barn, and Father said, “Better go
to the house. Mother will be looking for you.” I walked ever so slowly to the back door, thinking about what I had just seen, and even though I was very young, I knew again why my father so loved his farm. Why every inch, first settled three generations before him, would always be his haven. I remember, as if it were yesterday, looking up to the sky that day and thanking whoever, or whatever was up there looking down at us, and saying my childish thanks for all that was around me. The Depression, indeed, was in some other country. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books? Go to smashwords.com and type MaryRCook for e-book purchase details.

he snow was gone from our long lane, and it had settled into deep ruts of mud which wouldn’t completely dry up into the early summer. Thick bush on either side of the lane stopped the sun, and it was one of the last places on the farm to give up the snows of winter. Walking home from the Northcote School that time of year, we had to walk down the centre of the lane to miss the mud in the deep ruts. That day I could smell a difference in the air. Mud had a special smell to me, one I wasn’t particularly fond of. But I knew it was also the smell of spring, one of my favourite times of the year. And so, that day on the way home from school, I knew there would be other changes too around the farm.

Preparation
scoop or large spoons, scoop the batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Bake in a 180 C (350 F) oven for 20 to 22 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the centre comes out clean.

Chef represents Manotick at elite five-course cook-off Fundraising event in Glebe to mark 70th United Nations anniversary Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
Main Street Cellar head chef Braden Parks will get to flex his culinary muscles this weekend as one of two chefs chosen to compete in a fundraising cook-off for the Group of 78 charity on April 12.
The non-profit organization is a foreign affairs advocacy group founded in the 1980s to promote peace and justice. Today its members are largely former politicians, diplomats and justice advocates who meet monthly to discuss current issues like the threat of terrorism, environmental con-

cerns and international giving. The fundraiser at the Arrow and Loon restaurant in the Glebe will support the group’s annual conference, which this September will focus on the United Nations’ 70th anniversary. The chef competition is the brainchild of event co-ordinator Nindi Sarkar, who put a call out for local cooks earlier this year. She narrowed down a list of 14 through interviews and personal tastings; Parks served her his beef carpaccio and fried oysters. Sarkar said she knew right away that the Main Street Cellar chef would be a perfect match to face off against parliamentary restaurant cook Justin Scott, who had already been accepted. “Both chefs are young, they have a cooking style that is very unique to themselves,” she said. “I wanted to put out a very balanced competition of two peers that are competing against each other.” Parks may only be 23, but the Maberly native already

Main Street Cellar chef Braden Parks has been chosen to compete in an elite cook-off for a Group of 78 fundraising dinner to mark the United Nations’ 70th anniversary. has a decade of cooking experience under his apron. He started his career as a dishwasher at an organic restaurant in his hometown, moving quickly to chopping veggies before getting plucked to the cook’s spot to hone his culinary skills. He attended St. Laurence College for a cooking apprenticeship, but didn’t finish – opting to work in his field, instead.
Parks joined the Main Street Cellar in Manotick last September and took over the kitchen in January. His menu is constantly evolving as he puts a modern, locally-sourced spin on traditional Canadian and Italian fare; the restaurant’s options range from duck confit with hand-made gnocchi to house-smoked chicken and fresh salmon. On April 12, the two artists

will prepare their five-course meals for 70 guests, but there’s a catch: neither will know the event’s secret ingredients until the day of the competition. That morning, they’ll receive a list and have three hours to plan their menu around it. Event planners will shop on their behalf, and then the cooks will have from 5 to 7 p.m. to get ready for dinner. Parks said he won’t overcomplicate his menu. “I want to cook food that is simple, that everyone will like,” he said. He’s pretty confident when it comes to Italian fare – he spent three months at an Italian cooking school last year – but there are a few genres that might force him to get creative. “The only two I would find hard are Asian and Indian,” he said. “But I know the basics; I could come up with something.” Tickets for the contest are $65 each for 10 courses and dessert. They can be purchased at group78.org.

Cyclist suffers head injuries after tumble into canal Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Steph Willems/Metroland
Last days of winter sliding away With spring slowly getting underway, kite skiers took advantage of the remaining ice on Britannia Bay and strong winds on April 5 to get in one last thrill before warm weather arrives in earnest.
A 20-year-old male cyclist suffered a suspected head injury and was admitted to hospital in critical condition after he fell over a kneehigh concrete sidewall and onto ice in the Rideau Canal. Ottawa paramedics were first to arrive after a passerby called 911 on Wednesday, April 1 at 8:14 p.m. to report that a man had fallen into the canal in the vicinity of Colonel By Drive and the Heron Road bridge. “It’s a low wall with no railing there,” said Capt. Bob Rainboth, Ottawa fire spokesman said of the wall that separates the pathway that runs along Colonel By from the waterway. Paramedics made their way onto the ice and assessed and stabilized the man prior to the arrival of firefighters, said J.P. Trottier, Ottawa paramedic spokesman. “He was semi-conscious when they arrived at (the) scene, so the potential for head injuries was great, plus any other trauma he may have suffered to the spinal column,” Trot-
tier said of the cyclist who was not wearing a bicycle helmet at the time. “He was showing clear signs of a concussion or neurological signs of a head injury. He had physical injuries as well – cuts, bruises – but I don’t know that he had suffered any fractures. Our paramedics did not suspect any fractures on him.” Fire crews were initially called to the scene for a water rescue, but then quickly altered course to conduct a high-angle rescue since the man had fallen three to five metres down onto the ice of the near empty canal. “The water is drained in that section,” said Rainboth. Given the evolving nature of the rescue efforts, approximately 27 firefighters from upwards of five fire halls were called to the scene. “We used our ropes and systems to bring the Stokes basket out of the canal,” Rainboth said, referring to the hard-shelled stretcher used. The cyclist was pulled to safety and transported to the trauma centre at the Civic campus of the Ottawa Hospital. Ottawa patrol officers are investigating the incident.

Girl’s microwave fixation inspires books for kids with autism Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

FAMILY LAW in a Box presents
Divorce Straight Talk A FREE public seminar that answers all your questions about separation and divorce Wednesday, April 15, 7—9 pm, East End
Speakers: Julie Audet/Josée Thibault, Founders of Family Law in a Box, “What is the next step? Knowledge is Power” Sandy Holmes, Parenting Mediator, “The Children Come First” Cindy Duncan, Mortgage Broker, “Paying Off Matrimonial Debt and Protecting Your Credit Rating” Barb Gladwish, Financial Divorce Specialist, “Ensuring a Healthy Financial Future After Divorce”
The Board oversees the governance of the CCAC – an organization with approximately 770 employees and a budget of more than $220 million. As a member of the Board, you will be responsible for directing the affairs of the CCAC in accordance with applicable legislation, an approved strategic plan, and government policies. Governance experience, a good understanding of health care, knowledge and experience in financial/accountability matters, and alternative language skills are considered assets. In addition, to complement its current membership, the Board is seeking three new Board members ideally with attributes related to: x Francophone (to meet the requirements of its By-Laws at least one new Francophone Board member) x Place of residence in Ottawa x the cultural and ethnic diversity of the Champlain region x Direct experience with Champlain CCAC services (e.g., former caregiver or client) x Professional health provider experience x Professional experience in business and financial management x familiarity with quality, safety, risk and/or program evaluation
After a year of work, the book was launched in late March. Written by Lutes and illustrated by her husband, they think it will be a unique offering directed at kids with autism. While there are plenty of resources for parents of kids with autism, as well as basic instructional books for children with autism, there aren’t many stories for the kids to enjoy and learn from that are about them, said Lutes. For Sera, who is almost exclusively a visual learner, reading about herself and seeing how she and others react to different situations in drawings has been a huge help, said Lutes, and hopefully it can do the same for other children. “We are hoping it will help them get a perspective on other people’s feelings about the situations that they are putting them in,” she said. “It’s not just them being upset about the microwave. It affects the whole family in all these situations. We want some sort of teaching aid to show them this is how everyone else feels when you do this.” Going beyond just an aid, the stories also help to bring out the humour in the situation, said Lutes, who hopes kids genuinely enjoy stories that are about and for them. She hopes to write a series of books about common fixations and hang-ups that children with autism have, and already has ideas for books about loud toilet flushes, obsessions about trains and more. A book launch party will take place at the Beaverbrook branch of the Ottawa Public Library on April 26 from 2 to 3:30 p.m., said Lutes, where families with autism can meet each other, try some activities and learn about the book. It is currently available for purchase through anotherchapterpublishing.com.

Teaching a young child to share can be a difficult task for any parent, but when it came to Lisa Lutes’ five-year-old daughter, Sera, Lutes was at a loss for what to do. But it wasn’t sharing toys, books or stuffed animals that Sera was having a particular problem with, said Lutes. It was letting others use the microwave. “She felt like she was this expert,” said Lutes. “So she pressed the buttons every time anyone made anything.” Sera – who has autism – would even push past her parents to get to the microwave if she thought they were about to use it, she said. And if anyone else succeeded in using the appliance, a piercing yell would soon follow, said Lutes. “She would scream and scream and scream,” she said.
The Kanata family knew they had to do something, but unsure just what to do, they asked Sera’s teacher for some advice. With some paper and marker, Sera’s teacher began drawing some simple pictures, said Lutes – things like a screaming face with an X through it to show “We do not scream when someone else touches the microwave.” A little surprised, the Lutes realized the drawings helped Sera see what she was doing. “It really helped,” said Lutes. It also gave them an idea. “We were just thinking, ‘Well wouldn’t it be cool if we made it into a real book and personalize (the story) a bit and make it funny,’” said Lutes. So, Lutes, along with her husband, Jay, an illustrator and kids author, got to work on Sera’s story: Don’t Push The Buttons On The Microwave.
A criminal record check will be conducted on candidates who are nominated for the CCAC Board. For more information about the Champlain CCAC and our Board Recruitment, visit www.champlainccac.ca

Brookfield High artistic talent lines city’s walls in new exhibit Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
At the sound of the end-ofclass bell, the students would put down their paintbrushes, wood-burning tools, pencils and pencil crayons, only to head back to the art room at Brookfield High School every chance they got. “Even when students were finished their artwork, they would come in for another week of lunch hours or after school and continue to rework what they were doing,” said art teacher Erin Cain. Their hard work has translated into a public exhibit now open to the public at the City of Ottawa Archives, which features 56 works of art and is entitled Canada’s Chronicles: A Glimpse of the Past Through Modern Eyes. It’s the third year the archives has featured a public art exhibit, all of which have so far displayed the talents of high school artists. Cain jumped at the opportunity to have her students create a showcase even though
it meant quickly developing new lesson plans last fall for all of her students in grades nine to 12. “They did phenomenal,” she said, adding, in the end, the difficulty was in choosing which pieces to exhibit in the space, which couldn’t accommodate every artwork. For that reason, the exhibit includes a slideshow of additional artworks, as well as the students while they were working on their art in class. “We got a chance to do something that was not possible (before),” said Ladan Warsame, a Grade 12 student who spoke during the exhibit’s opening on March 31. “It made us go above and beyond our capabilities, and not just to see this as a school assignment but as a benefit that we can use later on.” The 18-year-old used a wood-burning technique to depict Louis Riel’s face. “He fought for people. He fought for his beliefs and what he believed was right,” Ladan said of the Métis leader.

Brookfield High School art students in grades nine to 12, including Minh Nguyen, left, Yaxin Wang, Lay Tu, Megan Ferguson, Maryam Galehdar, Alex Varas and Ladan Warsame, have created artworks and curated a public art exhibit on display at the City of Ottawa Archives until April 14 under the guidance of their visual arts teacher, Erin Cain, right. In addition to further honing her artistic abilities, Ladan relished creating for a public audience. “The students raised their own expectations,” said Cain. “You can definitely see it.” Her Grade 12 students this semester also designed the layout of the exhibit, and even
crafted a three-dimensional scale model of the space before they hung each piece ahead of opening night. “It was pretty fun doing that,” said student Lay Tu, 18. “It looks really beautiful.” And in the end, the students said their efforts were rewarded with a finished
product that impressed their principal, teachers and their family members during the public launch. That night, Alex Varas’ mom posted photos of the exhibit and his watercolour painting of a B.C. landscape on Facebook, prompting both of his grandmothers to tell
him how proud they are. “It was a surprise to (have) them call and just compliment me on these things,” the 17-year-old Grade 11 student said. Maryam Galehdar, 18, who aspires to one day become an architect, brought her aunt to the ceremony. “She was really impressed,” said Maryam, who created two pieces for the exhibit. “She didn’t really want to go (at first) because she thought it would just be a high school thing, no big deal, and then I took her there and she was really impressed by the artwork.” For the show, Megan Ferguson handcrafted a moose from kidney and black beans on canvas in the Algonquin and Métis-style, as well as a watercolour landscape painting textured with wax. “It’s pretty cool knowing that like I’m 16 and I have two artworks actually in the art gallery,” said the Grade 11 student, who is considering becoming an art teacher or cartoonist in the future.

Ottawa West News - Thursday, April 9, 2015
Experts give advice on coping with bullying In the first event of its nature and scope in Ottawa, a panel of experts in child psychology, education and law enforcement addressed concerned parents about strategies for dealing with bullying on March 30. In addition to a panel presentation, the event called Bullying – What Can Parents Do? Let’s Talk About It, included community service information booths, and the opportunity for parents to ask questions about responding to bullying more effectively. The two-fold goal of the event, hosted by Ottawa Public Health in partnership with the Ottawa Bullying Prevention Coalition, was to empower parents to respond to bullying incidents while also providing information on relevant resources and services available in Ottawa. “We heard from parents that they really did want to have a dialogue around bullying,” said Ben Leiken, supervisor of Ottawa public health’s mental health and youth section. “They wanted to hear from experts about it. The reason why the coalition put this together was to meet that need that was there. And there was a gap; there hadn’t been something like this that took place yet.” The collaborative event was part of a strategy by the Ottawa Bullying Prevention Coalition to join forces with partners in education, social services and law enforcement and establish a city-wide framework to mitigate the effects of bullying. The Ottawa Bullying Prevention Coalition is led by the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre. Its partners include Ottawa Public Health, Ottawa Police Service, all four Ottawa school boards and CHEO. Panelists included Dr. Tracy Vaillancourt, research chair in children’s mental health and violence prevention at the University of Ottawa; Dr. Phil Ritchie, a CHEO psychologist; Anne McKillop-Ostrom principal of inclusive safe and caring programs with Ottawa Carleton district school board; Ottawa police constable Carissa Beck; and Paul Richardson, superintendent of the French Catholic School board. Speakers discussed impacts of bullying on mental health from childhood through adult life, how to monitor for signs of bullying and communicate with youth about bullying, and what help schools and city
services can offer parents. According to Angela Larusso, lead of the Ottawa Bullying Prevention Coalition, the panel event and the coalition’s efforts going forward should complement the bullying prevention resources already available in Ottawa, connecting them with the people who need them most. “We do see pockets of services and resources but we need to be more coordinated in the way that we support all children and their families,” said Larusso. “This is part of a bigger, more comprehensive plan of action.”

Teens face robbery charges after bank targeted Pair turn themselves in at request of police Erin McCracken
erin.mcracken@metroland.com
Two boys, aged 15 and 16, may have been coerced by an older, more experienced person into allegedly robbing a Blossom Park bank, according to investigators. “Whenever I kind of see somebody of that particular age group getting arrested for something as serious as this, it kind of crosses my mind that there’s a possibility that they have been put up to it, talked into it, coerced into doing (it) by somebody older, more experienced,” said Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, head of the Ottawa police robbery unit. Police don’t typically see teens this young pulling off a bank robbery. Officers have, however, investigated cases in which Ottawa teens have been coerced into committing this type of crime. “I can think of a major investigation a number of years

ago where we had people recruiting people at high schools and in the colleges to do bank robberies,” Haarbosch said. “So it happens.” The 15-year-old Caucasian male and 16-year-old black male, whose images were publicly released in the days following the Blossom Park bank robbery on March 11 at 7:15 p.m., eventually turned themselves in at police headquarters. “We contacted them and suggested that was the way to go,” Haarbosch said, declining to provide specifics or how the teens were ultimately identified. Initially, investigators were on the lookout for a Caucasian male suspect whom they allege robbed the bank branch in the 2400 block of Bank Street near Hunt Club Road. Police said the suspect was partially disguised when he entered the bank, walked up to an employee and passed a note demanding cash. He made off
with an undisclosed quantity of money and was believed to have headed on foot toward Bridle Path Drive, according to police. No one was injured in the incident. Five days after the crime, police released a description and images of a second suspect, saying that bank video surveillance cameras caught a black male suspect on tape arriving with the first suspect. They fled the scene together immediately afterward. Charges against the pair were laid on March 30, including robbery and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence. The 15-year-old has also been charged with one count of wearing a disguise. The 16-year-old is also facing one count of breaching a Youth Criminal Justice Act sentence. Police are urging anyone with information on the case to contact them by calling 613-236-1222, ext. 5116, or by making an anonymous call to Crime Stoppers at 613-2338477.
Student rugby death inquest is set to begin on May 19 Ottawa West News staff

The regional coroner for inquests has announced the inquest into the death of Rowan Stringer will take place at city hall, and will begin on the morning of May 19, just over two years from the date of the 17-year-old’s death. Rowan, a 17-year-old John McCrae student, died on May 12, 2013, after suffering a head injury while playing rugby several days earlier. The inquest is expected to last 14 days and to hear from 15 witnesses. The hearing will examine the circumstances surrounding Rowan’s death,
with hopes of a jury using the findings to make recommendations that will help prevent similar deaths. An inquest is launched whenever the coroner determines its findings could be in the public’s interest. Dr. Louise McNaughtonFilion, the regional supervising coroner for east Ontario, will preside as inquest coroner and assistant Crown attorney Mark Moors will be counsel to the coroner. When the inquest was announced in February, McNaughton-Filion gave an idea of what to expect. “We’re going to be listening to the circumstances surrounding Rowan’s death and

Suspect arrested after four banks hit in eight days Police investigate 26 bank robberies this year Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Police have made an arrest following their hunt for a male suspect they allege robbed four banks in the south and east ends of Ottawa in eight days. Surveillance images of the suspect had been released before, but robbery investigators hoped an image taken from cameras inside an Ogilvie Road bank during the most recent bank robbery would help crack the case. Then on Thursday, April 2, an Ottawa man “was located and arrested without incident in the Vanier area by the Ottawa police,” Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, head of the police robbery unit, said in a statement on April 3. Prior to the arrest, Haarbosch said in an interview he couldn’t think of a recent case in which one person was believed to be responsible for so many bank robberies in such a
short period of time. “We’ve seen them where they’ve done that many, but it’s usually not that confined (in such a short timeframe).” In the Ogilvie Road robbery – Ottawa’s 26th bank robbery this year – police allege a lone male suspect entered the bank at the Gloucester Centre, at 1980 Ogilvie Rd., on Monday, March 30 at 4:35 p.m. He passed a note to a bank employee demanding cash and indicating he was armed, though no gun was seen, according to police. However, unlike the three previous bank robberies police believe he is responsible for, this time he didn’t leave with the cash he came for after he was confronted by another bank employee. “The goal is always to get (the suspect) in and out of the premise as quickly and as safely as possible,” said Haarbosch. “The advice we typically provide is that you co-oper-
ate and give them what they want and get them out.” The string of robberies began on Tuesday, March 24 at a bank at the South Keys Plaza near Bank Street and Johnston Road. A male suspect entered the premises at 4:05 p.m. and produced a note demanding money. He then fled with an undisclosed amount of cash and headed along a footpath toward the Johnston Road area. Three days later on Friday, March 27 at around 2 p.m., a suspect targeted a bank in the 1900 block of Montreal Road near Ogilvie Road. In addition to passing a note demanding cash, the paper also indicated he was armed with a gun, though none was seen. Again, the suspect made off with cash, investigators said. Two days later, on Sunday, March 29, a male went into a bank inside the St. Laurent Centre at 3:55 p.m. and also

Ottawa police have made an arrest after four banks in the south and east end of the city were robbed within eight days. passed a note demanding money and indicating he had a gun, though none was spotted. The suspect fled with a quantity of cash, according to officers. No one was injured in the four bank robberies. Police then announced they believed the same suspect was responsible for all three crimes, and described him as
a Caucasian male, between 20 and 25 years old and about five-foot-eight. In each case, he wore sunglasses and a hat. During one of the robberies, an eyewitness said the suspect had ear-gauges, which are hoops that come in different sizes and are used to stretch a person’s earlobes. The city’s rising number of bank robberies remains trou-
bling for police. By this time last year, they had investigated 11 bank robberies. There were 30 bank robberies in total in 2014. “It’s a significant number this early into the year before the end of the first quarter,” said Haarbosch, adding that three bank robbery suspects are to blame for multiple cases, which have largely affected banks downtown and in the south and east ends of the city, including Orléans and Blackburn Hamlet. A 26-year-old Ottawa man is facing three counts of robbery and one count of attempt to commit an indictable offence (robbery) as well as four counts of wearing a disguise. He has been remanded into custody and is next scheduled to appear in court on April 14. Anyone with information on the case or other robberies is asked to call the Ottawa police robbery unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5116, or call in anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477.

Police take stock of public opinion through online survey Ottawa West News staff
Check your mail. Yours could be one of 16,000 households randomly selected to provide feedback to the Ottawa Police Service on its performance, as well as on crime, safety and priorities in your community through an online survey. During March and April, the service is randomly mailing out an invitation to 16,000 people in Ottawa to go online to a secure portal and fill out the department’s 2015 public survey. You’ll be asked for your opinion on the level of crime in your neighbourhood, your concerns and to let police know how they’re doing, including what you think of the services they provide, including victim and investigative services. “The results of the survey will help to improve the quality of service and ensure the needs of Ottawa residents are addressed,” Ottawa police said in a statement issued on
March 24. “The information collected from the public survey will also assist the (Ottawa Police Service) in identifying public concerns and priorities for the upcoming 2016-2018 business plan.” It’s the police department’s seventh public survey since 1995. The deadline to submit answers is April 30, and final results are expected later this spring. For the most recent questionnaire – conducted in 2012 – 16,000 invitations were mailed out. Of those, 536 were returned as invalid addresses, while 3,147 were completed. The response rate was 20.4 per cent, which police considered good, but that was lower than the 35 per cent response rate in the 2008 survey. The service said this was largely due to survey fatigue and that respondents were asked to log onto a secure website to complete the
survey rather than provide written answers on paper. In addition to receiving answers to 63 close-ended questions and 21 open-ended questions, respondents provided data on their age, gender, language spoken at home, household income and size, as well education. Some survey results revealed that: • People’s perceptions of crime trends in the city have improved since 2006. • The most important concern was speeding vehicles and aggressive driving. • Overall satisfaction with policing services was very high at 81 per cent. • Four per cent of respondents were dissatisfied with the department’s services. • Seventeen per cent of residents say they have been a victim of crime, down from 21 per cent in 2008. People were also asked about the Neighbourhood Watch program and Crime Stoppers, among other topics in the last survey.

City, museums launch treasure trove of online records Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
A project nine years in the making has put Ottawa’s history online for all to see – something the city’s community museums hope will boost interest in local heritage. The Ottawa museums and archives virtual collections catalogue launched March 30, instantly making 30,000 records of artifacts, images and documents available to the world. But it’s mostly local residents, students and researchers expected to dive down the archival rabbit hole, which includes everything from armadillo carcass handbags to vintage Ottawa Citizen photographs. “I’m going to love this and I’m
sure residents are going to love this just as much,” said Bay Ward councillor and Deputy Mayor Mark Taylor, who helped launch the site at the city archives building in Nepean. “When you see 10,000 web hits in the first week, that’s me late at night clicking on everything.” The digitization project was mandated through the city’s 20/20 Heritage Plan, which called for a city-wide collections data base. It includes collection catalogues from the city’s archives and two of its community museums: Billings Estate National Historic Site and Cumberland Heritage Village Museum. Another five community-run museums also offered up their digital catalogues: the Goulbourn Museum in Stittsville, the Diefenbunker in

Carp, Osgoode Township Museum in Vernon, the Bytown Museum downtown and Museoparc in Vanier. Collectively, the new website hosts 30,000 records, each searchable by keywords and collection. Not everything has a photo attached, but the idea is that if a resident can find a record of the item they want, they can then call or visit the location to see it in person. “(It) is an amazing online tool that lets users discover the history of their city right at their fingertips,” Taylor told a small crowd of city and museum staff. John Lund, a city archivist and the project’s manager, said the catalogue will grow over time as museum and archive staff continue to dump data into the system. The city is also open to welcoming other community partners to join the project, whether that’s a local historical society or one of the community museums not yet involved. OMN members Nepean Museum, Fairfields Heritage House, Pinhey’s Point Historic Site and Watson’s Mill are noticeably missing from the list of collections, and that’s in part because some museums don’t have artifact collections to speak of, Lund said. Watson’s Mill, for example, is a “living museum” in the sense that the working grist mill is itself the

That’s not to say the city will turn them away if they want to contribute; on the contrary, Lund said.
“This project is a starting point,” he said. “We’re pretty open to any Ottawa museum or heritage institution. If they approached us and had interest in participating, we would look at working with them to bring them on board.” See INTERNET, page33

Internet allows residents to access all artifacts Continued from page 31
Kathryn Jamieson, curator at the Goulbourn Museum and chairperson of the Ottawa Museum Network, said the new website greatly expands the amount of content available to the public at any given time. “All of the museums have quite large collections, but typically only a small percentage is used in exhibits,” Jamieson said, noting that items not on display are usually locked up in storage except for special days like Doors Open Ottawa. “This allows us to get all of our artifacts online over time, and people will be able to see what we have.” Osgoode Township Museum
manager Robin Cushnie said that while it may only boost physical attendance at her site by a small amount, access to the remote museum’s catalogue has just increased exponentially by letting people see what the museum has before they make the trip. “We are in an inaccessible location if you’re not able to drive to us,” she said. Instead of trekking there only to discover the information you need isn’t available, now you can find what you need online and simply call up the museum to get copies. “We’ve gone from being a tiny little museum in Vernon to being a museum in the world,” said Jane Cooper, a museum volunteer. Readers can check out the catalogue at ottawa.minisisinc.com. Emma Jackson/Metroland

Ottawa Geek Market lures city’s gamers, roleplayers Popular trade show double the size of previous years Chris Whan whan0012@algonquinlive.com
The Ottawa Geek Fest was in full swing on the weekend of March 27. With a second arena needed to house the event, cosplayers, gamers and geeks from all over the city gathered to check out and potentially buy all kinds of geeky gear. From buttons to necklaces, wigs to weapons, shopkeepers from as far away as Halifax peddled their wares to people dressed in costumes ranging from cartoon characters to video game protagonists. One such couple dressed up in what is known as “Steampunk.” Costumes and props in the genre are a mixture of Vic-
torian England and modern technology, usually powered by steam, hence the name. Josephine Temperance and Dr. Gustave Morbeus – most likely not their real names but they identified themselves as such – had all sorts of gadgets and gizmos to show off to the crowd. One such invention looked like a wooden box with copper pipes and glass, but according to the good doctor, was a temporal rift generator, which allowed Temperance and Morbeus to travel through time. Though the devices had no such power, onlookers were still very enamoured with the amount of work that went into the device as well as the pair’s
appearance. “They’re very beautiful,” said event-goer Lauren Daly Harrod. “I love the amount of work that went into their costumes.” Also at the event was the “Geeky Godmother” who, at scheduled times during the weekend, read nerdy children’s stories to the kids at the event. One such story was a children’s version of Star Wars. Like Comicon and Pop Expo, the event was geared towards the people who have difficulty finding a place to fit in within society. “These are my people,” said Daly Harrod. “I always feel very welcomed and a part of something during these

the upcoming Ottawa Comicon in May, which showcases artists and products from
genres such as sci-fi, horror, anime, gaming and comic books.

Pineview Community Association to hold safety audit Alex Robinson
alex.robinson@metroland.com
Two years after a 15-yearold girl was sexually assaulted near the Blair Road transit station, the Pineview Community Association is set to conduct a safety audit of the area this summer. The community association is inviting residents to help canvass the many unofficial paths that lead to and around the transit stop. “There are some really dark pathways that pedestrians use,” said Lynn Lau, the president of the association. “With the way the neighbourhood was built in the 1960’s, walkability wasn’t very important in the planning process.” The audit will be done at night in order to assess light-
F
ing in the neighbourhood and to get a sense of where people may feel vulnerable and unsafe. Lau said the community association then plans to submit its findings to the city in the hope of getting better infrastructure at some of the area’s high traffic paths, where lighting and visibility is scarce. Lau said the community association did a survey last year and found many people did not feel safe on one of the main footpaths pedestrians take to the Blair Road station. “It’s a lonely stretch at night and at night it can feel a little scary,” she said. The victim of the 2013 incident was approached by four young men at the Blair Road Bus Station, who then led her to a secluded area off one
of the footpaths to allegedly rob and sexually assault her, police said. Police later arrested and charged four suspects. Lau said the community association hopes the audit’s results will push the city into action that will help make residents feel safer. The audit will also explore traffic safety along Blair Road, where there is no sidewalk and the speed limit is 70 kilometres per hour. The community association will hold the audit on July 27 at 7:30 p.m. in partnership with Women’s Initiatives for Safer Environments, and has invited police and Beacon Hill-Cyrville Ward Coun. Tim Tierney to attend. More information about the safety audit can be found at pineviewottwa.com.

Bill blockade Ottawa Centre MP Paul Dewar speaks to a small group of protesters on Parliament Hill on March 28 to denounce bill C-51, the Harper government’s proposed anti-terrorism law, which would give new powers to police and the country’s spy agency in the name of national security. The Ottawa Centre MP called the bill “wrong-headed” and accused the government of sowing fear instead of unity in the face of global extremism. The federal government has since announced four amendments to the legislation.

Kids just love to dance! Proposed Clarence Street
When your kids just “Gotta Dance”; look no further than the City of Ottawa Recreation eGuide available online at ottawa.ca. Our great variety of classes and activities will keep their toes tapping and their body rocking. Dancing is great exercise for kids of all ages. Younger children will experience a fun introduction to physical fitness as well as developing many key skills that will serve them throughout life. They will learn to follow instructions, and create an appreciation for different styles of music while enhancing coordination, balance, flexibility, strength, stamina, discipline and memory. Through programs such as Music and Movement and Creative Movement, toddlers as young as three years can explore their natural response to music and rhythm while expanding their creative scope and gaining confidence in their abilities. These programs provide a fun and casual approach to practicing basic and fine motor skills and learning about body awareness and space. Classes in pre-ballet, jazz and hip hop will teach your tiny dancer the fundamentals and techniques of specific dance styles. It’s a great introduction to more formal and focused dance classes. A performance for an admiring audience of moms, dads and family members completes the session. Older children also have a variety of dance styles to choose from. Whatever strikes their fancy we’ve got them covered - from Broadway, contemporary and hip hop. Our classes cover a gamut of styles made popular by television dance shows. Do you have a child interested in learning a bit of everything? A Dance Mix and Gotta Dance class allows your child to create his or her own choreography and experiment with a variety performance styles. Give your child the opportunity to express, move and create through dance. Our classes are affordable and many are conveniently located in your neighbourhood Apparently, Socrates learned to dance when he was 70 because he felt that an essential part of him had been neglected!

The site is part of the Byward Market conservation district and is currently an empty lot, as the heritage building that housed the restaurant was torn down last summer. Council approved its demolition last year as the building had been deemed structurally unsafe, as its stone walls had deteriorated to a point they were failing. Heritage sub-committee members commended the NCC for its community outreach in the proposal, but also said the commission should not have let the building deteriorate to the point of demolition. “They have to be better stewards of their portfolio of heritage buildings so this doesn’t happen again,” said Barry Padolsky, the sub-committee’s vice-chairman. Once the plan gains the necessary approvals from city council, construction is scheduled to start this year and the NCC expects the building will be finished by the fall of 2016.

The National Capital Commission is one step closer to building a new building at 7 Clarence St., where Memories Restaurant once stood – and to the delight of community groups, it will not be a “glass box.” The built heritage sub-committee approved construction of the new building at a meeting on March 26. The original proposal for the building provoked fierce community opposition from heritage and community groups, but the NCC worked through their concerns in four public meetings. “We greatly appreciate the efforts the NCC made to reach out to the community,” said Liz Bernstein, the president of the Lowertown Community Association, in a letter to Heritage Services and Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury. “The NCC’s community design con-
sultation was unprecedented in its reach and response to community concerns.” As a result of the consultations, the NCC has changed its plan to have less glass on the building’s facade and more stone. Nor will it have a side patio, as was originally proposed. The final design is also much smaller in scale than originally proposed. The NCC’s plan for the use of the building is to let foreign missions hold cultural exhibitions in it during the country’s 150th anniversary celebrations in 2017. It is not clear how the building will be used afterwards, but the NCC has assured the community it will not become another restaurant or bar. “People living blocks away from the building cannot know how important this is to the neighbours,” Bernstein said. “That the NCC respond to the community wish on this point is significant.”

Rideau Street storeowner robbed, assaulted with handgun: police Erin McCracken
pulled a handgun and demanded the storeowner turn over valuables, said Haarbosch. “When the storeowner didn’t immediately comply, he assaulted him with the handgun,” said Haarbosch, declining to elaborate on the victim’s injuries, only saying that he required medical attention and was treated in hospital and released. The suspect also took personal property belonging to the victim. Haarbosch declined to reveal what was taken from the owner. “We want to keep something back to assess the credibility of the tips as they come,” said Haarbosch. The suspect then fled to the waiting taxi. The driver dropped the pair off at another location in Ottawa, which Haarbosch also declined to disclose.

Two men who police say travelled in a taxi cab to and from the scene of a violent retail robbery on Rideau Street were caught on the vehicle’s video surveillance cameras. Those images may be the key to cracking the case for police as they work to determine the identities of two males they believe are connected to the assault and robbery of a storeowner at a retail business in the 100 block of Rideau Street on Thursday, March 26. After arriving by cab at 8:42 p.m., the male in the backseat entered the store, while the front-seat passenger remained in the vehicle, said Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, head of the Ottawa police robbery unit. Inside the store, the suspect

“We have interviewed the cab driver,” he said, adding that he is not considered a person of interest. Police have investigated cases before in which cabs were used to commit a crime and the taxi meter was running. Investigators do not believe the robbery and assault were motivated by a personal vendetta, but rather for financial gain. Despite the initial attempt to make off with valuables from the store, the personal items taken from the storeowner did not have a significant monetary value, said Haarbosch. The male who entered the store is considered the primary suspect in the case and police said the male waiting in the cab is a person of interest. The primary suspect in the case is described by police as a black male, about fivefoot-nine and was wearing a

Robbery investigators hope to identify two males wanted in connected with the alleged robbery and assault of a retail storeowner in the 100 block of Rideau Street on March 26 grey hooded sweatshirt, grey jogging pants, black running shoes, white gloves and a white balaclava.
The person of interest is described only as a black male. Anyone with information on the case is asked to call the

Canterbury garage sale expected to draw hundreds of treasure hunters Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Breakfast with Santa and Christmas craft sale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Christmas sale and the Breakfast with Santa, especially, you get a lot of people coming through the door that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t normally get involved with things like that because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stuff for the kids and Santaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s here,â&#x20AC;? Marshall said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not to make money. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to build community.â&#x20AC;? The Venturers from the 101st Ottawa Scouts will be running a canteen during the sale. During the event, most of the rooms at the centre, as well as the foyer, will feature a bevy of goods, ranging from preserves and home-baked goods to craft items and other treasures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get the typical garage sale stuff,â&#x20AC;? Marshall said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll bring their inline skates, ice skates and hockey equipment, an old cell phone or Walkman â&#x20AC;&#x201C; things like that.
Attach a War Amps conďŹ dentially coded key tag to your key ring. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a safeguard for all your keys â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not just car keys. If you lose your keys, The War Amps can return them to you by courier â&#x20AC;&#x201C; free of charge. When you use War Amps key tags, you support the Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I imagine itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those places where, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a rare book person and you need things, you come to events like this.â&#x20AC;? He too canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but browse the tables. Last year he picked up pickled hot pepper preserves as well as a cast iron Transformer Optimus Prime figurine for his eight-year-old son. Proceeds generated from the event, such as from table rentals, help the association contribute to several community initiatives, including post-secondary scholarships for graduating students at Hillcrest High School and Canterbury High School. Admission to the gigantic garage sale is free. The Canterbury Community Centre is located at 2185 Arch St. Parking will be available in the centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lot and on nearby side streets. Motorists are advised not to use the parking lots of nearby elementary schools.

They call it gigantic for a reason. Canterburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gigantic Indoor Spring Garage Sale, which has been held annually since at least the early 1980s, is expected to once again draw between 700 and 900 people when it takes over the Canterbury Community Centre on Saturday, April 12, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. When the 87 available tables first went up for grabs about a month ago, hopeful vendors lined up at the centre to ensure they would be able to showcase their goods at the popular event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They come here early wanting to get it,â&#x20AC;? said John Marshall, president of the Canterbury Community Association, which organizes the garage sale extravaganza. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have some of the same
vendors who have been coming for decades.â&#x20AC;? This year, organizers plan to keep track of how many patrons come to the sale. Marshall, who in his day job is a statistician with Statistics Canada, also plans to survey vendors and patrons to ask them questions during the event to better gauge how people find out about the sale, where they travel in from and how many years theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been coming to the sale. The results will allow the association to improve its marketing of the event and ensure vendors and buyers are satisfied, Marshall said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In talking to people last year I do know they come from Kanata and OrlĂŠans and all around the city,â&#x20AC;? he added. In large part, the sale is a way for the volunteer-based association to enhance the community, just as it does through its popular

Heatherington Road fire displaces three Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Heavy smoke and flames forced an adult and two children from their home on Heatherington Road late last week. Multiple 911 callers reported that heavy smoke and flames were coming from the middle unit of a two-storey rowhouse at 1485 Heatherington Rd., near Walkley
and Albion roads, on Friday, April 3 at 4:15 p.m. Fire crews worked to knock down the kitchen fire, which an Ottawa fire investigator later determined had been caused by an unattended pot left on the stovetop, said Capt. Bob Rainboth, Ottawa fire spokesman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our crews began an aggressive offensive attack as soon as they got there,â&#x20AC;? he said.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;By getting on an aggressive offensive attack, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a quick way for us to stop the fire with the least amount of damage.â&#x20AC;? Damages are estimated at $100,000 to the rowhouse unit and $20,000 to the contents of the home. FILE There were no injuries in the incident, and the Red Cross was called Ottawa firefighters were met with heavy smoke and fire at a rowhouse in to support the displaced residents, unit on Heatherington Road on April 3. An adult and two children were displaced in the incident. Rainboth said.

Rockcliffe Park spring sale returns with more than 12,000 books alex.robinson@metroland.com
Book collectors can expect more selection than ever before at this year’s spring book sale at the Rockcliffe Park Public Library. A steady stream of donated books has flowed into the library in recent months, overwhelming the Rockcliffe Park Residents Association, which runs the annual sale. “We’re getting more books than ever before. Something is going on here,” said Jane Dobell, who leads a team of more than 40 volunteers that put in months of work to plan and operate the event. “The result for us is it’s an extraordinary collection.” The group has sifted through piles of donations, discarding books that are in poor condition and packing away the sellable ones in storage for the spring. The sale, which raises money for the library, boasts more than 12,000 titles this year in a wide range of categories – from fiction of all

The Rockcliffe Park branch of the Ottawa Public Library is set to host its annual spring book sale on the weekend of April 11 and 12. types to reference books and beyond. “We get whole libraries from heirs of people who have died who or from people who are moving or downsizing,” she said. “People have been very generous. It’s amazing the va-
riety of interest we’ve had.” The sale is renting a tent this year, as the event has outgrown the small space at the library. It has also expanded to include CDs, DVDs, videos and vinyl. There are usually many rare gems sprinkled through-
Pet Adoptions
MIkkA (ID# A176754)
Meet Mikka (ID# A176754), a sweet and lovable little puggle just waiting for a forever home of her very own. Mikka loves car rides and would enjoy accompanying you on all of the adventures that life has to offer! She thrives on predictability and would do best in a family with kids who are eight and older. She is still a little unsure of other dogs but could live with a very polite and respectful dog. Mikka, who is 10, would love to stay active to help her shed some of her winter weight to get back her girlish figure. She’d do best in a detached home as she tends to enjoy singing when alone or bored. For more information on Mikka 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.
out the books on offer, Dobell said. She recalled a time a few years ago when a colleague unknowingly priced an original edition of Jack Kerouac’s On the Road at $1. The book can sell for more than $1,500.
“There are treasures,” she said. “That’s the fun of it. It’s the serendipity of finding something.” There have typically been around 100 people lined up to swarm the sale before it opens on the first day, but that should not deter people from

Each month, hundreds of lost stray animals arrive at the OHS. Sadly, many have no identification, which makes it difficult for shelter staff to find their owners. A microchip provides a permanent means of pet identification that will not fade or be lost over time. The microchip, about the size of a grain of rice, is implanted under the skin and is virtually painless.
Each microchip has a unique ID number that can be scanned at shelters and vet clinics. Important information about you and your pet is entered into a national database and can be used to contact you if your lost pet has been found. The OHS holds microchip clinics throughout the year. The cost is $50 — a small price to pay for a lifetime of security. Microchips will not fade or be

lost over time. Owner information can be accessed electronically and immediately, ensuring the speedy return of a lost pet. While tags may be lost from time to time, tags are still important as a quick and visual way of identifying your pet. The next clinic is scheduled for April 12. For more information, call 613-725-3166 ext. 221 or e-mail microchip@ottawahumane.ca.
coming later, Dobell said. “We’re always putting more books up as more space becomes available,” she said. “They don’t necessarily have to come the first day. They could come another day if they want to come leisurely. The 100 people lined up the first day are pretty eager.” The sale was first launched in the 1990s by Barbara Mirsky, the librarian in charge of the Rockcliffe Park library when it first opened. The sale accepts cash only and will take place at the Rockcliffe Park Community Hall, at 380 Springfield Road, on April 11 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on April 12 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Dobell said the annual sale is always worth dropping in at, especially for book collectors looking for rare items, as you never know what you will find. “We’re a good place to take a chance on,” she said. “I’m not saying we’ll necessarily have any of those things. I’m just saying you’ll never know.”

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue
Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Patience is a virtue you must have this week, Aries. Others may not be able to maintain your pace, so exercise patience with those who need it. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Share your thoughts and feelings about a particular project wtth others, Taurus. The people closest to you will provide just the support you need to move forward. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Embrace the competitive nature of a coworker this week, Gemini. This person might just motivate you to reach heights you have yet to reach, and this may lead to a promotion at work. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, a heart-to-heart talk with a loved one has you feeling confident as you move forward. Embrace this chance to communicate for the opportunity it truly is. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, allow someone close to you to enjoy his or her space this week. Find a way to keep busy as this special someone does some soulsearching. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Avoid rushing to judgment on an issue this week, Virgo. Rather than speculating on the “whys” and “how comes,” wait until you can get some solid facts.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Luck is on your side this week, Libra. Make the most of this lucky streak and invite others to join in your fortune in the weeks to come. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, lend a helping hand to a loved one who could use some words of encouragement. Your efforts will be both effective and very much appreciated. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, anxiety about starting a new chapter in life is normal. Fear of the unknown can worry anyone, but look forward to all of the positive changes that are in store. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, thinking outside of the box comes easily to you. Although others may scoff at your unconventional ways, you always get the job done and this week is no different. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, peer pressure abounds this week, but you needn’t worry about succumbing to it. You like to march to the beat of your own drum, and others look to you as a leader. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, you may need to take an unusual approach to get things done this week. Don’t be afraid to be aggressive. 0409
