EMC news - The Ottawa Public Library wants people to peek into a crystal ball and imagine what the library should look like in the future. Notably, the library wants to know what it should stop doing – not just new things it should take on. The central questions posed in the online survey – the first phase of the public engagement process – ask what the library should continue doing, what should it start doing and what should it stop doing in the next five years. “We know that we are changing,” said Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder, chairwoman of the Ottawa Public Library board. “We are not currently delivering library services in the best way,” she said. The campaign is online at imagine-opl-bpo.ca now and will be open for public comment until June 15. Those who participate will be eligible to win an iPad. People can post ideas and vote on other people’s ideas. See LIBRARY on page 15

Dermatology centre fundraising kicks off Ottawa Hospital aims to raise $3 million for consolidated skin clinic Steph Willems

EMC news - After a long, bleak winter, many Ottawans are now content to bask in the warm rays of a bright sun. While vitamin D is a wonderful thing, each year many Canadians find themselves diagnosed with skin cancer, even those who take precautions and

fall outside of the common age range for the affliction. The Ottawa Hospital is hoping to become a leader in treating the many forms of skin cancer by combining all dermatology services into one location at its Civic Campus. The hospital plans to establish a melanoma rapid diagnosis and management clinic, as well as a psoriasis systemic therapy

clinic, in order to reduce wait times for patients. To realize this vision, the hospital is embarking on a $3 million fundraising campaign. It kicked off the initiative with a May 16 media tour of the Parkdale Clinic’s Mohs surgical unit, guided by doctors Jim Walker and Jillian Macdonald of the Ottawa Hospital’s admittedly cramped dermatology

unit. “With the new Dermatology Centre of Excellence, this area would be doubled in size,” said Walker, adding, “The lab would be doubled (in size) and we’d increased from three to five surgery rooms, and increase our operation from three days a week to five days a week.” See GOAL on page 20

Parkdale Park set to become ArtsPark for 10th year Steph Willems

Steph.willems@metroland.com

EMC news – Condo construction and property values aren’t the only things that have exploded in Hintonburg in the past decade.

Now, the most visible expression of all that talent is on the cusp of a major milestone – ArtsPark is set to mark its 10th anniversary. Much like the inaugural event, ArtsPark 2013 will see artists, craftspeople and locally-sourced food and enter-

The community’s arts scene has also seen impressive growth over that time period, with many artists seeking out footholds (and residences) in the trendy neighbourhood and a community association eager to promote their talents.

tainment take over Parkdale Park on May 25. ArtsPark was created in 2004 by the Hintonburg Community Association, which a year earlier had designated part of the neighbourhood an arts district as part of the area’s revitalization and the city’s increased focus on culture. The QUAD, as it is known as, is now Ottawa’s most prominent arts district. Former community association member Charles Reynolds initiated the creation of ArtsPark, explained arts committee co-chairwoman Paulette Dozois. “He was the driving force in bringing (the idea) to the board,” she said. “We thought it was a wonderful idea and moved forward from there.” Dozois said the event continues to stay true to its original vision, with new additions added as the community evolves. “In many ways it’s been kept to that original vision,” she said. “The idea was to keep it local – we never wanted it to ‘go big.’ (ArtsPark) is what we call a local, urban arts fair.”

Carlington community association AGM yields new president Diane Zilkowski replaces outgoing president Josh McJannett, who congratulates community on its teamwork steph.willems@metroland.com

EMC news - The Carlington Community Association has emerged from an active past year more successful and knowledgeable than ever before. Last week’s annual general meeting provided a forum in which to reflect upon and celebrate recent accomplishments, while also taking care of administrative matters. With past president Josh McJannett not seeking re-election, Diane Zilkowski was placed in the top spot following an election from the assembled members. The rest of the executive will consist of familiar faces.

A relatively new addition to the community, Zilkowski recently joined the association and played a large role in formalizing the community’s response to the contentious 1110 Fisher Ave. development. Zilkowski put her name forward to the association’s nominations committee because she felt the stated values of the association align closely with her own beliefs regarding communities. “The priorities you have established are what communities are all about,” she said, adding since moving to Carlington she’s quickly become enamoured with the neighbourhood. “There’s so much energy

and so many incredible people I’ve met so far,” she said.

“The priorities you have established are what communities are all about.” DIANE ZILKOWSKI, PRESIDENT OF CARLINGTON COMMUNITY ASSOCIAITON

EMC news - When the developer proposing a condominium building on Fisher Avenue returns to the community for the next round of consultations, the proposal stands to look different. Few details were given on the status of the project at the May 14 annual general meeting of the Carlington Community Association, but River Coun. Maria McRae did confirm the developer is “going back to the drawing board” following community opposition, and that the original application is off the table. This past winter, the city received a zoning bylaw amendment proposal for a six-storey, 42 unit condominium building for 1110 Fisher Ave., adjacent to Turnbull Private Elementary School. The site currently contains a single-family home dating from the 1930s and backs onto a low-rise community. For a community not used to

coaches post-treatment cancer survivors and caregivers on how to:

ning for the area. That said, she warned that any proposal the developer comes back with in the future could still be seen as unsuitable by community members. “I have no idea what they’re coming back with,” said McRae, when pressed for details. “Any proposal submitted will still be subject to the same comment period, staff scrutiny and planning committee consideration.” Bartlett, the association’s development committee chairman, said the report crafted by the community as a response to the proposal contained “compelling arguments” regarding the unsuitability of a development of that size in that particular location. New association president Diane Zilkowski, who worked closely on that file, said the application contained many ambiguous statements relating to the benefits of the development that weren’t backed up with facts.

receiving these kinds of intensification proposals, it spurred the association’s upstart development committee – led by Phil Bartlett – into action. Before this, Carlington had remained relatively removed from the increased heights and density being experienced in other Ottawa neighbourhoods. Following a special community meeting in March, the association took a formal stance against the possible rezoning. As well, a group of Trent Street neighbours who would be most affected by the proposed development formed a working group to analyze the land-use policies stated in the proposal’s rationale. “It’s still in the middle of the process,” said McRae. “The developer is going back to the drawing board and is working with staff and the Trent working group.” McRae mentioned that the association board and city staff have agreed on land-use plan-

131, with money in the bank to fund the coming year’s activities. River Coun. Maria McRae, invited as guest speaker, congratulated the association for its productive year and growing influence in the continuing improvement of the neighbourhood. McRae updated association members on issues related to the area, mainly infrastructure upgrades. Resurfacing is expected to begin soon on Crerar Avenue, between Merivale Road and Fisher. Residents who asked for onstreet parking to be removed from Fisher will be disappointed, as not enough demand exists at this point. City traffic engineers would argue that parked cars serve to reduce vehicle speed on a given stretch of road, said McRae.

past years were carried over with similar results this time around, while new endeavors, such as the greening committee’s community clean-ups and tulip-planting initiative, have brightened up the Carlington streetscape and brought neighbours together. The association’s winter carnival, held in Alexander Park (which the association has adopted) was also a hit. On the security front, the association held a graffiti-reporting spree and invited Hintonburg Community Association security committee member Cheryl Parrott to share her knowledge and experience on reducing and reporting neighbourhood crime.

Targeted rezonings appease communities City’s first zoning consistency projects set the stage for broader infill review Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - An effort to strike a balance between protecting community character and maintaining property owners’ rights in Old Ottawa South will set the stage for zoning reviews across the city. The first two projects for the city’s new zoning consistency team will be used as a test case to set the direction for a review of infill homes in the city’s urban neighbourhoods, set to kick off

next month, said city planner Alain Miguelez, the program manager of intensification and zoning. In Old Ottawa South, a contentious plan to rezone a property at 9 Rosedale Ave. sparked a need to look at what types of buildings should be allowed to be constructed along the Rideau Canal between Bank Street and Bronson Avenue. Infill is now a significant trend and a “happy predicament” for the city, Miguelez said. The zoning reviews for Colonel By Drive and a sec-

ond pilot project review of three properties on Greenbank Road will help the city’s planning department frame how it tackles the issues on a larger scale as part of the Phase 2 infill study, Miguelez said. When it comes to Colonel By, a planning consultant found it wouldn’t do much good to downzone the area to allow less density or fewer types of homes. Instead, a planning consultant hired by the city is recommending keeping the zoning but adding a height

is a division of

limit and a restrictive heritage overlay, which requires homes to be built in a compatible manner if they are demolished or destroyed by something like fire. It’s the same type of tool used to guide homebuilding on the other side of the canal, on Queen Elizabeth Drive. Height limits would drop from 11 metres to nine metres, which would still allow for a three-storey home, said Nancy Meloshe, the planning consultant the city hired for the project. Only three of the existing 39 homes along that stretch are taller than nine metres. The mix of housing styles is something residents really value, and a couple people wanted to ensure the new restrictions wouldn’t prevent the construction of homes in modern architectural styles. Miguelez said keeping the more lenient zoning will allow the area to become home to more residents, which aligns with the city’s intensification goals, while encouraging the existing homes and the neighbourhood character to be retained. “It would be a disservice to those big old homes to not allow them to change with the times,” Miguelez said. The R3 zone allows for homes to be converted to contain up to four dwellings, up to 10 residents in a group home or retirement home, a duplex, townhome or semidetached dwelling, a homebased business or diplomatic mission. Residents who live in the homes along the stretch said they are less concerned about whether people live in townhomes or semi-detached dwellings and more concerned about the height of the homes and ensuring their scale is compatible with neighbouring dwellings. It also means any additions to homes would have to be in the rear of the house and smaller in scale, so they aren’t visible from the street.

When a property along Colonel By Drive at 9 Rosedale Ave. was rezoned in 2011, it kicked off process looking at the types of homes that should be allowed on that stretch along the Rideau Canal. That concerned a couple of residents, including Wallace Dowswell, who added that overall he was happy. “This will reduce the incentive to demolish and rebuild,” he said. “We’re allowing change, but controlled change.” Changing the zoning for the area would also be a bad idea because it would mean several of the homes would no longer conform to the area’s zoning – something the city calls “non-conforming rights.” The city tries to avoid that because it creates a tangled mess for homeowners to acquire insurance if the home is sold to a new owner and can therefore make homes difficult to sell. There is one additional restriction that would apply to three or four properties that have lots larger than 40 metres deep. Those property owners would face a restriction aimed at limiting how far back into the lot – and therefore how large – a home or addition could be. The Colonel By and Greenbank zoning consistency changes will be presented to the city’s planning committee for approval on June 25. The changes will be accompanied by a related but smaller review of three properties in Knoxdale-Merivale Ward: 171, 173 and 175

Greenbank Rd. That review was initiated following the approval of a zoning amendment for 149153 Greenbank Rd. to permit the construction of a five-storey apartment building comprising 61 units. Meloshe found that the properties are ripe for more intense development and is recommending boosting the building height limit from 10 m to 15 m, prohibiting a few uses including community centre or a drive-through and increasing the size of the backyard. The property owners are in agreement and Meloshe expects them to bring forward a plan for a retirement residence. Miguelez said what his team learned during the Colonel By zoning discussion could be applied to a broader swath of Old Ottawa South. That could come up during Phase 2 of the city’s small-scale infill homes review, which is getting underway this month and will be the topic of a public meeting in June. But Meloshe said the homes along Colonel By are distinct from the rest of the neighbourhood. “It struck us as interesting that the properties along Colonel By are different in terms of the character of the houses, the stateliness of the houses and the size of the properties,” she said.

Ottawa’s funkiest five-kilometre race run open for registration steph.willems@metroland.com

EMC news - There are no cupcakes along the race route, but there will be cake at the finish line of the CycleLogik Hintonburg Centennial 5K Run/Walk. Billed as “Ottawa’s funkiest 5K” by the Hintonburg Community Association, the event has been gaining participants since starting in 2007. Scheduled for July 14, the 5K begins and ends in Parkdale Park and uses the narrow streets of Hintonburg as its route, weaving from Parkdale Avenue to Bayview Road and back again.

Organizers wanted to change that. “(The run) really highlights the community,” said Leiper. “When we started it, it was a way of showcasing the community.” Since the first 120 runners back in 2007, the race has gradually expanded. Organizers expect around 275 to 300 runners this time around. Besides the unofficial tradition of cake at the finish line, the race has another un-

Association president Jeff Leiper said the urban character of the race route gives the Hintonburg 5K its distinct appeal. “It uses back streets behind Wellington, like Spencer and Ladouceur,” said Leiper. “The independent races tend to have something a little special about them. “The geography of this race has lots of appeal – you run through some really interesting urban neighbourhoods.” The flat course has lots of turns, he said, adding the run often returns some of the fast-

was having coffee with a friend of mine the other day. She has a full-time job, three school-age children and a husband who also has a full-time job, an hour-long daily commute and chronic health problems. As one does in these situations, I asked, “how’s it going?” Always with a sense of humour, she said, it’s chaotic, but okay. “But the laundry! I need to hire someone to fold the laundry! My children are starting to think it’s normal to search for clean clothes in a mountain in the basement,” she lamented. I started thinking deeply on her laundry dilemma. If my friend were a man, would she be more likely to outsource the laundry? I suspect she would. In fact, earlier this year, when my husband was midway through his parental leave, he did just. He had stuff he wanted to do while on leave, like spend a few hours perusing his favourite stores, visit with friends, have a daily shower (and, ironically, renovate the laundry room). So he put the request out there: “What if we hire someone a

It also seemed incredibly indulgent, considering we were both home. But five months in, I realize it’s amazing to have an extra pair of hands on deck. In fact, I’m not sure how I ever stayed home full-time with my boys when they were babies and managed everything on my own.

It made me think: “leave it to a man to come up with a practical solution to buy a few hours of free time each week, so that, you know, he could have a life as well as look after a baby full-time.” Yes, I’m gender stereotyping here.

concerned, too often fail to consider themselves first. I look around at the women I know and regardless of whether they’re home full-time or trying to simultaneously work outside the home and look after things on the domestic front, it seems everyone is simply doing too much. Last year, American academic Anne-Marie Slaughter caused a stir with her article in The Atlantic, and especially its title, “Why Women Still Can’t Have it All.” But I’m wondering why anyone would want to have it all -- well, at least, the responsibility of it all. It’s incredibly freeing to delegate and outsource tasks, whether that’s hiring someone to throw dinner in the slowcooker and get the laundry into the drawers each day, or getting an accountant to do your taxes. With the recent release of Facebook chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg’s book, Lean In, there is a new mainstream discussion emerging on the future of feminism. The co-authors of The New Girls’ Network recently noted in a Harvard Business Review blog much of this new discussion is focused on “executive feminism,” primarily, how to get more women into top roles of organizations. And while this is an essential conversation to be having, particularly pushing cultural change in organizations to better develop women into top roles, it’s also necessary to continue to empower women across the board. Perhaps the best place to start is by encouraging women to be a bit more selfish. Let’s scrap the ideologies that cause women to believe they are solely responsible for rearing the perfect child. Let’s start “thinking like men” and putting ourselves first so we can be healthier, stronger and offer a well-rounded perspective to our kids. It’s empowering and at the end of the day, I think it’s what women really want.

Time to confront concussions

he death of a Barrhaven teen after sustaining a severe head injury during a rugby game last week has highlighted the need for more education about concussions and brain

injuries. Rowan Stringer, 17, a John McCrae Secondary School student and the captain of her school rugby team, was tackled hard and hit her head and neck on the ground during a game on May 14. According to comments from her parents, Rowan had suffered two head injuries the week leading up to her fatal injury. The first time, she told her parents and took a pain reliever, the second time she only told her friends about the injury. We don’t know if these were concussions, but the family has authorized an autopsy to find out the factors leading to her death. Ottawa’s public school board is now taking a hard look at its safety policies to see if they can be improved and make sure players aren’t playing with injuries. But we can’t place the onus on just the coaches – it’s impossible for them to monitor every single hit. All of us – parents, family members, fellow players, properly armed with the knowledge about the dangers of head injuries can help prevent

athletes playing with concussions. The president of the Brain Injury Association of Canada has suggested, during an interview with the media, that Rowan might still be alive today if there was better awareness among coaches, players and the general public about the dangers of repeated concussions. The danger of suffering an injury, ranging from bumps and bruises to broken bones and head injuries, is a fact of life for all athletes. Nothing will change that. But athletes properly educated about the dangers of head injuries, can intelligently decide whether or not they are fit to participate in a game or competition. A big part of the problem is athletes don’t want to report head injuries because they’re afraid they will miss games. Education is a universal cure for poor decision making and a key component for preventing and treating sports-related concussions. Schools and sports associations should provide coaches, players and parents with the training and knowledge to both identify and treat concussions and head injuries. Research shows that if an athlete takes a hit to the head and suffers headaches afterwards, they may have suffered a concussion. An ounce of prevention is worth a ton of cure.

Public and private adjustment to playoff hockey mode

his time of year the news media, searching for ways to make hockey playoffs meaningful to the nonhockey population, focus on the fans, big crowds of them in matching colours, shaking towels in matching colours, yelling, dancing, or – as in Toronto – looking suddenly suicidal. The cameras prowl around the city looking for hockey fans being interesting – which is to say, noisy and excited. Naturally, the cameras find the public areas where noisy and excited people gather. In Ottawa, that would be the so-called Red Mile downtown. People with painted faces and colourful costumes are there. Along the Red Mile, and its equivalent in other cities, the cameras enter the bars, where people are all too happy to wave and shout and chant and look like newsworthy fans. But there are other, less newsworthy fans in our city. Perhaps they are the majority. Fortunately for them, the cameras do not seek them out. For these fans their fanaticism is private. They stay out of the public places. Their faces remain unpainted and they wear their normal clothes. Yet in their own way, they are making the adjustment to playoff mode.

This requires changes in their behaviour patterns. Dinner, instead of being at the usual time, now must be earlier, to be over in time for the game. Or it must become a different kind of dinner, in order to be eaten off the lap in front of the TV set. Or it must be so late as to be verging on fashionable. Social life becomes more complicated. A dinner party scheduled weeks ago suddenly is found to coincide with the game. It can’t be shifted: that would be rude. So calculations have to be made. Are the guests fans? Would they mind eating at 5:30, before the game? Would they mind eating at 10 p.m., after the game? Can they be persuaded to eat Chinese food off their laps, in front of the TV, with chopsticks? And if the guests are not hockey fans?

There are people in the world who think about other things and are oblivious to what happens on the ice. They want to talk about Syria. How many times can you sneak away from the conversation during dinner to check the score? And what will be your excuse – stirring the dessert, making the coffee, a sudden nosebleed, another sudden nosebleed? And how to explain to your guests the sudden elation/depression you feel around 10 p.m? Depression could be Syria, I suppose. Another trial facing the private fan has to do with his/her children/grandchildren. They can scarcely be shielded from the fanaticism that is all around them. But they can’t be allowed to stay up until 10 on a school night either. As a consequence, a small but significant proportion of the fan base only sees the first period. But even that one period has its own challenges. The commercials have to be muted – which leads to the spectacle of silent video game monsters and Justin Trudeau in his undershirt. Further, a quick escape strategy has to be plotted to divert impressionable young eyes away from the fights. “Quick: Weather Network!” goes the cry whenever the gloves are dropped. In some games, the children see more low

pressure systems than slapshots. They must wonder why people paint their faces for this. Even among private fans, the pressure builds, the anguish and the ecstasy, the groans and cheers, and the tough part, at the end of it, is to explain to the children and grandchildren of private fans that it’s only a game, that you shouldn’t be mad at your team, you shouldn’t hate the other team and life goes on, win or lose. While you’re doing that, the screen fills with all the grieving painted faces in one city and all the hysterically happy painted faces in the other. Quick: Weather Network!

City reveals design for Arts Court â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;landmarkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - The city hopes adding an iconic new art gallery and a tower to Arts Court will make the historic site into a â&#x20AC;&#x153;people place.â&#x20AC;? The current hub of arts in Ottawa is set to expand next year and designs for the new buildings to be added to the complex were presented at a community meeting on May 14. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to make it a place of civic pride â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not just arts groups camped out in the former courthouse,â&#x20AC;? said Barry Padolsky, one of the architects hired by the city to work on the project. The $40.5-million expansion will include a large addition to the existing Arts Court building â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a heritage complex that used to be home to the courthouse and registry office. The second architect the city hired for the project,

Mitchell Hall, said the new Ottawa Art Gallery portion would be a 3,260 square-metre â&#x20AC;&#x153;elegant boxâ&#x20AC;? tucked in along the existing north-south stone wall that divides the site. The city is looking at having the gallery building serve as a billboard for art, perhaps using projection or a digital sign, Hall said. A 250-seat screening room, a cafĂŠ and a black-box theatre on Waller Street for the University of Ottawa is also part of the concept. Open space, seating areas and sculpture courts would buffer the new buildings along Daly Avenue, leading into the main entrance, and along Waller. The adjacent former jailhouse is now a privately-owned hostel and not up for redevelopment. In addition, the city is hoping to make $3.5 million to put towards the project by selling the

air rights for a 23-storey tower at the corner of Waller Street and Daly Avenue. It could become a hotel, condo tower, offices, or perhaps even a residence for the University of Ottawa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too early to tellâ&#x20AC;? what the tower could become, said Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a preference, but he is keen on ensuring the towerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s use and branding are compatible with the theme of the arts complex. Padolsky and Hall have offered a conceptual design for the tower, but it will be up to the winner bidder to create their own concept for the tower. Padolsky and Hall canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be on that design team, but they will serve as the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;advocate architectsâ&#x20AC;? to ensure the towerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design fits into the concept for the block. The existing Arts Court buildings wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change much, but the space would be repur-

Web Poll THIS WEEKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S POLL QUESTION:

PREVIOUS POLL SUMMARY:

Should the death of a young rugby player force schools to take a second look at athletic safety in Ottawa?

Do you think a Senators playoff run helps to raise community spirit in Ottawa?

A) Yes. It is an opportunity for teachers, coaches, parents and students to learn more about head injuries.

B) Yes. Hazardous sports like football, rugby and hockey have no place in the school system.

A) Definitely. Nothing brings everyone in the city together like rallying behind our team.

67%

B) I think it is a wonderful time to be a hockey fan, but the rest of us just shrug it off.

22%

C) No. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think sports are

C) No. The teenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death was an isolated incident and isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an indication of a wider problem.

something that should be used to bind a community together.

D) Do we really need another reason to turn young people away from physical activity?

playoffs had started. Is that what all the hubbub is about?

D) I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even notice the

posed to allow current tenants like SAW and Art Engine to expand. There would be a change to level out SAW Galleryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s space to make it more accessible by opening out to the courtyard on Nicholas, instead of having a staircase. After all the rezonings and approvals are complete, hopefully in the fall, the project will go to tender to find a builder and a buyer for the tower air rights, Padolsky said. A builder is expected to be selected and construction is to begin in the spring or summer of 2014. It would be completed by 2016, Padolsky said. The tender canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go out until the city confirms $9 million in funding from the federal government. But the delay lies with the city, not the federal government, said project manager Lauren Reeves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a delay on their part,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was part of our design process.â&#x20AC;? The design went through many consultation phases with stakeholders, groups who use space at Arts Court. It took longer than the city expected, Reeves said, and that delayed when the city could submit its final funding application to the federal government.

Ridgemont, Rideau want to start kindness chain reaction Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Fourteen years ago, a girl named Rachel Scott was sitting on the grass out front of her school when two boys approached her and shot her five times. She didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know it at the time, but her life and death would help create a positive chain reaction all the way to Ottawa. Scott died on the grass in front of Columbine High School on April 20, 1999. She was the first of 13 students killed during the massacre. A popular and friendly girl, Scott always reached out to other students and friends in need, but it was not until her death that her influence on her town, her country and now the world has spread all the way to the students at two schools in Ottawa. Before she died, Scott had written an essay on how people should treat other people. Her father found her writing and deciding to share it with the world, creating Rachelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Challenge, a program about how to stop bullying. Ridgemont High School teacher, Toula Makris heard about the program and decided Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s message was important to share with her students and the students at another local school, Rideau High School. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought it was a really important to bring this message to the kids,â&#x20AC;? Makris said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the kids have been so impacted by this presentation.â&#x20AC;? Kristy Krings of Rachelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Challenge came to both schools during the week of May 13 to tell Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story and to present the anti-bullying program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now in your schools, in your community, there are people who are going through things and a simple act of kindness can change that,â&#x20AC;? Krings

RACHELâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S CHALLENGE/SUBMITTED

This is Rachel Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diary. The hole on the right comes from one of the five bullets which killed Scott during the Columbine High School shootings on April 20, 1999. It was in Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death that her writings have become the voice of a world-wide anti-bullying program, Rachelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Challenge. The program visited to Ottawa schools on May 13-14. said. The program is about five challenges: change how you feel about others, dream big and write down those dreams, choose positive influences, speak with kindness, and remind those you love how special they are. The challenges are simple at heart and Krings explained this is why Scott believed creating positive change in the world was possible. According to Makris and Rideauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school guidance counselor, Wendy

workshops. Krings said she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe how enthusiastic and how much the students at the school embraced the challenges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have rarely felt so welcome, but this community has been amazing, the students have been amazing and I have had a great time working with the kids,â&#x20AC;? she said. Krings said Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s message can reach out to all ages and the important thing to remember is anyone can change the world or make a positive impact on someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. Scott, Krings explained was always reaching out to others and after she died, these individuals reached out to her family to tell how important their daughter was. It was these stories, Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s writings, poems and drawings and the images from that horrific day at Columbine High that make up the presentation of Rachelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Challenge. Although the students who Krings presents to these days may have been very young or not even alive when the killings at Columbine took place, Krings said each student still manages to relate to the story. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For most students Columbine is a big shock, they were babies when it happened,â&#x20AC;? Krings said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a story about a real person and that is what I think resonates with them.â&#x20AC;? Lamble said her students will be taking what they learned in the workshops and applying it to school events, assemblies and other alreadyorganized school clubs.

Drumming group to keep beat on race weekend Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland

EMC news - While some onlookers might only see marathon racers stretching their limbs before the big race, there will be a group of nine men also stretching in preparation for a different kind of marathon. During the Ottawa Race Weekend marathon, the Heritage Hands Ottawa Drum Club will be performing for a total of four hours on May 24 to encourage the more than 10,000 racers across the finish line. “We will be drumming until every last runner or straggler has crossed the line,” said

Michel Monette, co-founder of the club. “We won’t leave until everyone else is gone.” Monette and longtime friend Charles St-Jean have been drumming most of their lives, starting together in the De La Salle Cadets when the two were only 15 years-old and lived next to each other in Lowertown. In 1998, St-Jean brought some of the old drummers together for a reunion and since that meeting the group has been playing at shows and for fun in the Ottawa area. “It’s passion and friendship that keep us together,” St-Jean said. The group average age is 60, which the men joke is why

they will be stretching too before the marathon. “It’s physically demanding,” said Armand Vienneau, a drummer in the group. “It can take a lot out of you.” The group performs both old historic military rhythms and new songs they composed together. The only drumming club of its kind in Ottawa, members from all across the city come to play with the group. Passionate about drumming, the club members say they perform more for the enjoyment than for money these days, taking gigs where they can get them. “It’s the rush,” Monette said.

The group used to play before football games at Lansdowne Park and said they loved performing in front large crowds, but say their most enjoyable audience members are children. “They just surround us when we play,” Vienneau said. Even though there are nine members in the group, the men say they are always looking for more experienced drummers to join. “We are not getting any younger,” St-Jean said. The troop will be performing by the War Museum from 7 to 11 a.m. on May 24. For more information about the group, visit www.heritagehandsottawa.ca.

The Ottawa Public Library has adopted this colourful logo to represent its public engagement campaign aimed at coming up with a plan for the library of the future. want,â&#x20AC;? Harder said. Harder said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see the libraries have more flexible space. She suggested putting the shelves on wheels so they could be moved around and the space repurposed to offer more programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So the space that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re using isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily a large amount, but it is vibrant, vital and mobile,â&#x20AC;? Harder said. Reducing the size of reference sections and instead focusing on helping people find the

information in new ways should also be a priority, Harder said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a big job ahead of us. We do want to make sure weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re staying relevant,â&#x20AC;? she said. Library chief executive officer Danielle MacDonald said she wanted to undertake the consultation â&#x20AC;&#x153;primarily because it makes good sense to connect with our customers.â&#x20AC;? But the library also wants to hear from people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use the library about why, and what

might make them begin accessing library services in person or online. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know there are new opportunities but we also know there are choices,â&#x20AC;? MacDonald said. The consultation will set the direction for an update to the libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strategic plan that should take form early next year. It will be the first time the library has done a major overhaul of its master plan since the city amalgamated.

A day after the campaign launched the top idea, speeddating for volunteer opportunities, had already received almost 250 â&#x20AC;&#x153;likes.â&#x20AC;? While discussing the possibility of closing library branches is politically unpopular, it might be time to re-open that debate, Harder said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do we continue to support and sustain our 33 branches and our Bookmobile?â&#x20AC;? Harder said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Or do we look at other opportunities that people may suggest and they may say will serve them just as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is that the best use of the taxpayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; money?â&#x20AC;? she added. Adding user-pay programs to the libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s repertoire should also be considered, Harder said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am not afraid to start charging for some stuff,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a free ride at the library and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think that it needs to be. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not looking to make money, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think we should be hindered from being relevant by not wanting to charge someone $25 for having something unique that people

Apple and maple strudel a sweet and healthy treat EMC lifestyle - Maple syrup is graded by its colour, density, and flavour according to standards established by government legislation. Ranked among the very best natural sweeteners in the world, it is considered as a flavour of choice that can enhance many different dishes, perfect for foodies everywhere. For traditionalists, maple syrup is still mainly used over the good old pancakes. This apple and maple strudel and vanilla yogurt can be prepared the day before serving. INGREDIENTS

Apple and maple strudel • 2 large apples, peeled and cored • 825 g (2 lb) can whole dark plums, drained • 10 ml (2 tsp) grated lemon rind • 75 ml (1/3 cup) ﬁrmly packed brown sugar • 60 ml (1/4 cup) maple syrup • 60 ml (1/4 cup) water • 1 cinnamon stick • 125 ml (1/2 cup) packaged

ground almonds • 6 sheets ﬁllo pastry cooking oil spray Vanilla yogurt • 80 ml (1/3 cup) low-fat milk • 180 ml (3/4 cup) low-fat yogurt • 10 ml (2 tsp) vanilla extract • 60 ml (1/4 cup) icing sugar PREPARATION

Cut each apple into 12 pieces. Halve plums, discard stones. Combine apples, lemon rind, sugar, maple syrup, water, and cinnamon in large pan. Stir over low heat, without boiling, until sugar is dissolved. Bring

to boil and simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes or until apples are just tender, stirring occasionally. Drain apples, discard the cinnamon and syrup and let cool. Combine apples, plums, and nuts in bowl and mix gently. Layer pastry sheets together, spraying every sheet with cooking oil spray. Spoon apple mixture along long edge of pastry, leaving an eight-centimetre (three-inch) border at each end. Roll up strudel, tucking in ends while rolling; coat lightly with cooking oil spray. Place the strudel on an oven tray which has been coated with cooking oil spray. Bake in the oven at moderate heat (175 C/350 F) for about 30 minutes or until golden. Dust with sifted icing sugar and candied lemon rind, if desired. Serve with vanilla yogurt. For the vanilla yogurt, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well.

EMC news - St. Mary’s Home has young women approach them every day for help, as they house at-risk pregnant girls and young women. But it’s rare that someone approaches St. Mary’s Home to try and help them, said executive director Nancy MacNider. But Desserts of the World Festival organizers contacted them to say that they wanted the Orléans event, which was held May 8, to be a fundraiser for the non-profit organization. “Nobody’s ever done this for us before,” MacNider said. “This is such a gift.” The festival brought together bakeries, dessert shops and embassies to put out a massive spread of desserts, ranging from Malaysian pastries to dozens of brightly decorated cupcakes, all at the Shankman Arts Centre. The total amount raised won’t be announced until June 11 at St. Mary’s Home, but organizer Serge Bijimine said they hope to be able to donate at least $5,000.

MacNider said the donation will go towards the general operating budget for the home and outreach centre. The home, located on de L’Eglise Street in Vanier, houses up to 15 pregnant women or new mothers between the ages of 12 and 24 at any given time, and up to seven newborn babies. “Usually it’s a pretty hopeless situation,” said MacNider of the women who arrive, most of whom don’t have a permanent home or place to take their baby after birth. The new moms and babies can stay at the home until the babies are seven months old. The home also operates an outreach centre, two blocks away, for any young pregnant woman or new mom, not just those in high-risk environments. At the outreach centre, the women work towards high school credits – but with a prenatal focus. The English writing assignment may be about a baby’s development, or a public speaking assignment about nutrition. The June 11 event, where Desserts of the World will present the cheque, will coincide with the women’s high

school graduation. Every year, 450 different women – or young fathers, who are offered a special program at the outreach centre – pass through St. Mary’s. Ottawa Public Health teaches pre-natal classes, and offers a weekly clinic. It’s a safe environment for a young, pregnant woman, instead of taking prenatal classes with married couples thrilled to be expecting. “Then they just feel like a fifth wheel,” MacNider said. “You can feel like your whole world is coming to an end.” Having the program and residential home means that more babies are born into safe environments, where their mothers are supported by both their peers and a group of professionals to coach them through any new parent nerves. The organization gets funding from the provincial Ministry of Children and Youth, the city and United Way but hasn’t had many public campaigns or fundraisers, despite celebrating its 80th anniversary last week. “It was really a place people came to hide, so we were hidden as an organization,” MacNider said.

Let your imagination go wild, grains, beans, sprouts, greens, nuts, seeds, fruit, veggies, dressings, so many possible combinations. Not only do the beans, nuts and seeds add protein, but so do sprouts. In fact, they can contain up to 35% protein.

Aunt Lizzie had a knack for strange gifts

ather’s sister, Aunt Lizzie, who we thought was very wealthy, lived in Regina and once a year she came out to the homestead in Renfrew County to check up on her only brother, and as Mother said, to make sure the farm hadn’t slipped into the Bonnechere River. Aunt Lizzie didn’t think Mother was good farm material. She thought anyone who had lived most of her life in New York certainly wouldn’t amount a hill of beans in the backwoods of Renfrew County. Every time she came to visit, the house was in turmoil. Everything had to be scrubbed within an inch of its life and my sister Audrey and I had to give up our bed and the little washstand we shared at the top of the stairs. Even the top had to be cleared off, so my collection of little stones I cherished -- small little stones I picked up on the farm and which I loved dearly -- had to be put in a little paper bag and tucked away for keeping in

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories a safe place. Audrey’s hand mirror and comb, too, had to find a new home for Aunt Lizzie’s visit. Even though she was his sister, Father was always in a lather when Aunt Lizzie came for her yearly visit. She insisted on bringing him something which served no earthly purpose and which she thought he shouldn’t live without. And often the hand-me-down box included a present for Father which made little or no sense whatsoever. Like the kimono. Father had never laid eyes on a kimono before, but he insisted on wearing it when we had neighbours in for euchre one Saturday night. Even Mother couldn’t talk him out of putting it on, but when Uncle Alec, after dealing out the

cards, asked Father what in tarnation he had on over his shirt and trousers, Father decided the kimono just wasn’t for him. When Aunt Lizzie visited us in Renfrew County, she never failed to bring Father some outlandish gift, which she insisted was just what he needed. One summer it was a dress shirt with a high round celluloid collar, which Father had to wear to church the Sunday she was there. It took both Mother and Aunt Lizzie to button it around his neck and when he got home he said his head ached and his ears were ringing. He never wore the shirt again. I thought the small stiff straw hat with the narrow brim and the narrow black ribbon looked much

better than the big old tattered one Father wore around the farm. Aunt Lizzie bought it at Walker’s Store in Renfrew and she never let Father forget that she had paid a whole 75 cents for it. That didn’t make him like it any better, especially when he saw the identical hat on a woman in the Lutheran Church one Sunday. Well, one summer Aunt Lizzie arrived and as usual the house was in turmoil. She re-arranged the furniture without even an if-youplease to Mother, all of which was promptly moved back where it belonged the minute the train left Renfrew station. That year, Aunt Lizzie told Father that she wanted to go into Renfrew to do some shopping for him, as what she had in mind was too bulky to pack in her cowhide suitcases. Father wasn’t too pleased, but Mother told him to get it over with. There would be no living with his sister until she had her way. So off they went in the Model T on the Saturday. I couldn’t wait to

see what Aunt Lizzie had in mind for Father. When they got home, Father was like a thunder cloud, changed into his bib overalls and headed for the barn. Aunt Lizzie came in with a shoe box under her arm. She opened it on the kitchen table and there was a pair of men’s shoes the like of which I had never seen before. They were black shiny patent leather, with white leather insets under the laces and the toes were so pointed, Emerson said you could kick the eyes out of a snake at 50 paces. Aunt Lizzie insisted Father wear them to church the next day, which he did with great reluctance, but the minute he got home, they were exchanged for his well-worn black work boots. Aunt Lizzie said he should wear them all day to break them in. Father sat and looked at the shoes for the longest time and I could tell he was thinking long and hard. He put the new shoes back on and headed for the

barn to do the Sunday night chores. When he came in for supper, you wouldn’t recognize the new black and white leather shoes. They were covered with manure, grass and mud and you couldn’t tell where the white insets started and the black toes began. Even Father’s socks were ready for the Monday washing! I knew without question Father, who was meticulous about both himself and the barns, had deliberately ruined the shoes. Aunt Lizzie flew into a fit, grabbed the shoes and went out to the rain barrel with a whisk and a rag. She agreed then they should only be worn to church on Sunday. Her train left before the week was out and she wasn’t around to see if Father was in his new shoes at the Lutheran Church. Like the kimono, the shirt with the celluloid collar and the straw hat, the shoes vanished, never to be seen again on the farm at Northcote.

Goal of shorter wait times for skin cancer diagnosis, surgery Mayor Watson recounts personal tale of cancer diagnosis “We’re blessed in Ottawa to have some great physicians, great scientists and researchers, but we need more capacity.” Ottawa mayor Jim Watson

Watson served as a test subject while Macdonald demonstrated a routine skin exam, where doctors look for suspicious cancerous or pre-cancerous lesions. Like all cancers, early detection ensures the best possible outcome for patients. Often thought of as a worry for middle aged people and the elderly, skin cancer is fickle and doesn’t follow rigid boundaries.

Ottawa resident Jessica Trotto was on hand to relate her experience with skin cancer. Trotto, a self-described “country bumpkin” who loves the sun and was a past user of tanning beds, was diagnosed with a cancerous lesion near her eye while still in her early 30s. Now 36, Trotto said she was shocked when the diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma was handed down. After all, she was still young and had always used sunscreen when outdoors. While helpful physicians at the hospital guided her through the process, the month-and-a-half wait to rid her body of the cancer drew out her fear. “The wait is terrifying. I would have nightmares of the skin cancer growing overnight,” said Trotto. “It’s imperative to reduce those wait times and get those people in as soon as possible.”

Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson is given a skin exam by Dr. Jillian Macdonald at the Ottawa Hospital’s dermatology unit on May 16, as Dr. Jim Walker looks on. The hospital is launching a campaign to raise $3 million to fund a new, comprehensive dermatology centre at the Civic Campus.

TICKETS ADULTS: $12 YOUTH/ SENIOR: $5 0523.R0012064594

Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson is serving as honorary campaign chairman for the initiative. His involvement stems from personal experience: Watson has twice been diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma, a form of skin cancer. The first diagnosis came, oddly enough, during a health exhibition at Queen’s Park while he was serving as an MPP. “I’m very appreciative of the fact my skin cancer was caught relatively soon, but sadly there are many people in our community that don’t have that early detection and as a result are not as fortunate as I am,” said Watson. “We’re blessed in Ottawa to have some great physicians, great scientists and researchers, but we need more capacity. We know that with an aging population and a growing population, plus everything from the depletion of the ozone layer

and its impact on skin, that the problem will get worse before it gets better.”

Community breaks ground on new Torah Centre ‘This is much more than just a synagogue’: rabbi Jennifer McIntosh

metres and will have a gathering hall with flexible walls to accommodate functions of different sizes and prayer services. It will also have a teen lounge, classrooms, a library, a kosher kitchen and meeting rooms. “This is much more than just a synagogue,” Blum said. “I want it to be an education centre and a community space as well.”

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - The community came together to celebrate the groundbreaking of what will be the site of the new Ottawa Torah Centre on May 12. Rabbi Menachem Blum began offering services out of the basement of his Barrhaven home 16 years ago. The new facility will be 1,114 square

The new building is slated to cost $4 million and has been in the works for six years. The Ottawa Torah Centre currently operates out of a temporary building on the site at Lamplighters Drive – near the intersection of Cedarview Road and Kennevale Drive. There are 120 families associated with the Ottawa Torah Centre, according to Blum; 50 of those families are

associated with the Sunday school. The population, like that of the developing suburb of Barrhaven, continues to grow. There has been a 14-fold increase in the enrolment at the Hebrew school since 2005. “When I moved to Barrhaven I think there was only one big-box store,” Blum said. “It has grown exponentially and so has the Jewish community.” Before moving from his Barrhaven home to the porta-

ble facility on Lamplighters, the congregation rented out a storefront of a strip mall on Cedarview. But the numbers just kept growing, prompting another move. In 2003, the Ottawa Torah Centre bought the 0.5-hectare plot of land their new home will be constructed on and asked architect Barry Hobin and Associates to draw up plans for the site. “We also installed water and sewer services and paved the parking lot,” Blum said.

“It’s been a work in progress.” Blum said he hopes to have construction completed by June 2014. There’s still nearly $1 million in fundraising to be done, but he said he’s optimistic. “The community is very excited,” he said. Residents can follow the construction and fundraising progress on the Ottawa Torah Centre’s Facebook page, or by visiting www.ottawatorahcenter.com.

EMC news - Students from a west-end private school on Morrison Drive will be paddling through the wilds in the name of biodiversity. Students Académie de la Capitale in grades nine, 10 and 11 left for British Columbia on May 24 to start a trek from Pitt Lake to Jericho Beach. The group will begin at Pitt Lake and make their way down Pitt River to the Fraser, where they will take the North Arm past the airport and the UBC peninsula, ending at Jericho Beach. The trip is more than 50 kilometres on land and will take three-and-half-days. Along the way, students will take samples of local flora and fauna. They plan to test water quality at Lester B. Pearson College on the way back. Barbara Odenwald, the trip co-ordinator, said the adventure coincides with The United Nations Biodiversity, which starts on May 24. “It also encompasses most of our curriculum,” she said, adding students will use knowledge from biology, Canadian Civics, history, geography and languages. The rest of the city can keep up with our homegrown voya-

Braving the elements and the tides, the crew will be made up of nine students and five teachers from the school travelling in two canoes. One crew will only eat the diet of the country’s original voyageurs – a mixture of turkey or beef jerky and berries. The other crew will eat modern fare. “It will really be roughing it,” Odenwald said. The first night the group will

camp out on a pristine camp sight. The second night they will stay on an organic farm and learn from Coquitlam elders about maintaining aboriginal heritage in an urban environment. The third night will be at a campground. The group’s classmates will be in contact via Skype and a presentation will be made when they return home. Oldenwald said the school has an international baccalaureate program, which commonly

uses experiential learning to tie classroom material together. “Students will be meeting with local First Nations, experts from non-government organizations, and leaders from different levels of government in order to observe, discuss and learn about the impact of human activity and land use on the river,” Oldenwald said.

Pugstock returns to Ron Kolbus Centre River Ward City Councillor @CouncillorMcRae Conseillère, quartier Rivière

Biggest fundraising event for local dog rescue organization jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - Under My Wing Pug Rescue is once again inviting the city’s Pug lovers to spend a day meeting new fourlegged friends. PugStock will be returning to the Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre on May 26 from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The dog rescue organization has rescued more than 200 pugs since 2006. It provides foster homes, medical care and forever homes to those animals it takes in. “Running a rescue means that there’s the vet costs and the food costs. This is the biggest fundraiser we do all year,” said Jennifer Gorman, who volunteers with Under My Wing. Entrance to the event will be $2 per person and all breeds of dog are welcome. Aside from a silent auction, which includes items like tickets to the Justin Bieber concert in July and an iPad mini, there will exhibitors showcasing everything from animal CPR to agility training. “It’s going to be a really fun day,” Gorman said, adding the

Alta Vista animal hospital will have an exhibit, along with a pet photographer, supply outlets and grooming establishments. Pugs who have been adopted thanks to the rescue will strut their stuff during a parade and those dogs awaiting adoption will come out and hopefully meet people interested in taking them to their forever home, Gorman said. It takes more than a village to run the rescue, Gorman said, adding all the people involved are volunteers. “We have no physical shelter building where we can house dogs, so we rely completely on fosters,” she said. Potential adopters are required to undergo a home visit and complete a comprehensive application form in an effort to make sure the dogs won’t end up back with the rescue. Gorman said she has always had a fondness for pugs because they are strongwilled. “It’s a lot of dog in a small package,” she said. As long as there are still backyard breeders and puppy mills, there is a need for Under My Wing to exist, Gorman

Progress continues on the Airport Parkway pedestrian/cycling bridge. The contractor completed the anchorage assembly piece and it was delivered to the work site on May 15, 2013. This piece was then installed to the top of the main tower using a crane. Now that the anchorage piece is onsite and secured in place, the contractor will complete the steel reinforcement. The contractor will also conduct a critical survey to verify that the anchorage piece is in the correct place prior to the concrete pour. After this survey is completed, crews will close the opening in the formwork and another complete inspection of the formwork will take place to make sure that it is ready to receive the concrete pour. The pour for the upper tower will occur during the day, during off-peak hours in the coming weeks. You may notice the duration of this pour is much shorter than the duration for the lower tower and City staff have assured me that they will put all measures in place to ensure that traffic is disrupted a minimally as possible.

Reforming the Temporary Foreign Worker Program Recently, Canadians have raised concerns about the Temporary Foreign Worker Program being used by some employers to replace Canadians with foreign workers. Our government’s priority is to ensure that Canadians get first crack at available jobs in their area. This is why we have launched a review of the Program, and have moved quickly to identify and correct the problems that were preventing qualified Canadian workers from getting jobs. We will ensure Canadians are always given first chance at available jobs. We are mandating that companies produce a solid business plan to transition from the use of foreign workers to Canadians, including training Canadians if necessary. This will ensure that temporary foreign workers do not become permanent employees or a long-term solutions solution when many Canadians cannot find employment. We are also ensuring that we hold companies accountable, by increasing our authority to revoke work permits for those companies that do not play by the rules. This will prevent further fraud and ensure that the introduction of foreign workers into the workplace does not have an overall negative impact on the labour market. We are asking additional questions as part of the application process, so that when employers bring in temporary foreign workers, no Canadian workers are displaced as a result of outsourcing. We will require that employers using the Temporary Foreign Worker Program pay the workers at the prevailing wage for that job. Our government is also proposing the introduction of fees for companies who wish to employ foreign workers, so that taxpayers are no longer subsidizing the application process. These changes will strengthen and improve the Temporary Foreign Worker Program and support our economic recovery and growth. Our government will continue to review the program, and you can expect more changes in the coming months. Pierre Poilievre MP Nepean-Carleton

Elite runners to compete for top race spots brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC sports - Every year at the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend, thousands of runners pack the start area, anxious to run a five or 10 kilometre race, many with just the goal of completing the event. Leah Larocque isn’t one of them. Last year, her aim wasn’t just to finish, or place in the top half of the runners.Laroque wanted to win - a goal she accomplished, running five kilometres in under 18 minutes. Her final time was 17 minutes, 36 seconds. The race weekend average time for the five kilometre event was 35 minutes and 10 seconds. This year, Larocque and her training partner, Liz Maguire, a former marathoner, are going to tackle the 10-kilometre race, aiming to run in the 37 to 38 minute range. Aiming for a specific time – and a competitive one – means pacing yourself, said Larocque and Maguire. Larocque, 24, runs a shorter distance, the five kilometre race, so she has to make sure she doesn’t go too fast and run out of energy. Maguire, 46, is used to running longer distances, so she has to make sure she uses all the gas in her tank and doesn’t save too much energy. “For a five, I just go. Go fast, and hold it,” Larocque said. Maguire said the most common

mistake of less experienced runners is they start too fast, and can’t keep the pace for the majority of the race. Larocque said many runners also skip the warm up, and head straight to the start line. The start line experience is different for these two Ottawa runners because they are in the elite category. Manny Rodrigues, elite athlete co-ordinator for the Ottawa Race Weekend, said he’s set to have about 120 elite athletes competing between the 10 kilometre race and the marathon. “It’s a very different mentality,” he said. “The people in the back are happy to compete. The people in the front are looking for a specific time or position. They make their money this way – it’s their bread and butter.” Rodrigues accommodates Ottawa’s top athletes into the elite category, but also recruits runners from all across the world, dealing with both applications and the agents of the athletes he’s trying to recruit.Top runners aren’t just competing for a chance at prize money, but are paid to come to Ottawa and compete. “Someone like Geoffrey Mutai, who was IAAF runner of the year – so the guy’s number one in the world for road racing – if you don’t pay him well, he’s not coming,” Rodrigues said.

Kettle Island most attractive bridge option Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Kettle Island has been named the technically preferred option for an new east-end interprovincial bridge. “This bridge is the most centralized in terms of where people are going, in terms of current land uses and development along that corridor,” said Eric Peissel, a consultant for Roche-Genivar Joint Venture.

“Once again, this project has been ear-marked for quite some time by both sides and therefore properties and right of ways have already been preserved and doesn’t require extensive purchase of new properties and (because) of course costs of this corridor being the least expensive.” Hired by the National Capital Commission to establish which of the three locations would be the best option for a new interprovincial crossing, Roche-Genivar has been undertaking an environmental assessment

for the past two years, holding public consultations, open houses, online comment forms and round table discussions to capture residents comments about a new crossing. Peissel joined the National Capital Commission’s Fred Gaspère and representatives from the ministère des Transports du Québec and the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario to make the announcement to media on May 14. Lori Assheton-Smith from Rockcliffe Park attended a community

stakeholders briefing on the evening of May 14 and news of the chosen corridor did not come as a surprise to some of the communities that have been taking part in the consultation process for the past two years. “I think it’s fair to say everyone saw it coming,” Assheton-Smith said. “When you look at any of the reports completed, I don’t think they could have reached any other conclusion.” The decision was made through two evaluation methods: a pair-wise comparison and reasoned arguments

which were reviewed by an evaluation committee. Kettle Island ranked the best in traffic and transportation, natural environment, economic environment, land use and properties and costs. It ranked lower when it came to looking at the social environment and for water use and resources, including a potential risk to the Gatineau Water Treatment Plant, but the team was assured that any spills would be considered manageable. When it comes to the residents who live near Kettle Island, social environment factors are of great concern. See COMMUNITIES, page 38 R0012110154

Tanger announces initial list of stores Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - The initial list of stores slated to open at a new outlet mall in Kanata were announced during a groundbreaking ceremony at the site last week. Michael Kors, DKNY, Nine West, Coach and Aeropostale were among those listed by Steven Tanger, president and CEO of Tanger Factory Outlet Centers Inc. on May 15. “This is an exciting time indeed,” said Tanger, adding the outlet mall will provide a “best in class” shopping experience. “My advice to you is to get your credit cards ready,” he

said. The outlet mall will feature around 70 stores in its approximately 27,900 square metres of retail space. Located off Highway 417 at Palladium Drive, Tanger Outlets is set to be completed in 2014.Tanger is investing $115 million into the Ottawa economy, said Mayor Jim Watson. Along with an investment into the local economy, the project is estimated to create around 700 jobs during the construction phase and 1,000 full-time and part-time retail jobs once the complex is complete. “We are witnessing greater opportunities for consumers,”

said Watson. “The centre will be an attraction for tourists.” Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson added the outlet mall will bring in cross-border dollars typically spent in the United States. “(It) provides people the ability to shop in Canada instead of the States,” she said. Tanger Outlets and RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust co-own three other Canadian outlet malls. “Development in Canada is a tough, tough game,” said John Ballantyne, senior vicepresident in asset management of RioCan. “There’s been no greater enthusiasm than for an outlet centre.” Ballantyne also announced

a $25,000 contribution to the Richcraft Recreation Complex in north Kanata. North Carolina-based Tanger Outlets owns 43 outlet shopping centers in the United States and Canada, with more than 2,700 stores operated by 460 different brand name companies. The groundbreaking ceremony included a parade of outfits by the stores announced by Tanger. The other brand names include: • Nike • Calvin Klein • Gap • Banana Republic • Brooks Brothers • American Eagle • Guess

City OKs plan for new home on New Edinburgh lane Residents wary proposal will set precedent, threaten heritage district Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - New Edinburgh residents are calling the city’s decision to allow a new home to be built on a laneway the “dismantling” of an important heritage district. The city’s planning committee approved severing an L-shaped lot into two lots, as well as the construction of a home on the new lot facing River Lane. It will be the first home built facing a lane, and with access from the lane, since the area was designated as a heritage conservation district in 2001. “We are seeing that intensification is trumping the heritage goals,” said New Edinburgh resident Richard Palmer, who called the proposal “the systematic dismantling of Ottawa’s flagship heritage district. “These are big losses in such a small district like New Edinburgh,” he said. Planning committee chairman Coun. Pete Hume said he had trouble following Palmer’s arguments. “You’re going to have to help me here. There is a lot of access on the lane,” Hume said. “What’s the problem with building on the lane, other than you live next door? “I am having trouble understanding how that is the lynchpin that destroys heritage.” David Sachs, president of the New Edinburgh Community Alliance, emphasized that one house might not be the lynchpin, but the fact that it will set the precedent for future develop-

ment, especially on laneways. “To say there is no force of precedent here is misleading,” Sachs said. “This thing has fantastic potential for forward momentum.” Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Peter Clark, who represents the area, said he was completely opposed to the lot severance and approval to build a new home. “When you look at this in a microcosm you can say it’s fine, but it’s not a microcosm,” he said. “This will spark more development on the lane and it’s not serviced.” Clark said he is concerned that “the system is broken” and that the city is making decisions based on outdated heritage guidelines. He called on city staff to update the 2001 heritage conservation district guidelines to 2005 standards. The planning committee decided to heed his wishes and directed staff to update the heritage district plan and address the question of how new infill can be appropriately integrated into the district, especially on lanes. As part of the application for the new home, city staff recommended changing the laneway’s designation to “improved” status because it is a paved laneway that the city already maintains by snowplowing and collecting garbage and recycling there. City planner Andrew McCreight said the new home falls within the parameters for the existing zoning and size of homes in the district, expect the lot is slightly smaller. It could be built with access from the street off Queen Victoria Street, if the

city wanted to avoid allowing laneway access. But that would mean building a much longer driveway

and cutting down a mature tree, McCreight said, so the laneway access makes more sense. Sarah Millar Martin, a planner from FoTenn who was hired by the applicant, said the L-shaped lot pro-

vides a “unique opportunity” to build an infill home – a rarity in New Edinburgh. “Laneway living has its challenges, but it is sought after,” Millar Martin said.

Communities not surprised by Kettle Island choice Continued from page 33

“Residents, especially seniors and young children, will suffer serious health risks by the increased air pollution from the diesel fuel the heavy trucks use,” said Judy Lishman, spokeswoman for the Manor Park Community Association in a press release. Upon hearing the news, Ottawa-Vanier MPP Madeleine Meilleur said she was disappointed in the NCC’s recommendation. “The building of a bridge between Ottawa and Gatineau has been my priority for many years, but I’ve always maintained that a new bridge should not disrupt established residential neighbourhoods,” Meilleur wrote in a press release. “Any interprovincial bridge needs to get the trucks out of downtown, and any proposal that does not respect the local communities and does not get the trucks out of residential areas is not a solution. I will continue to fight to protect all residential neighbourhoods and to encourage better public transit to and from the city core, and I will recommend that the Ontario government not fund a bridge at Kettle

Island.” Ottawa-Orléans MP Royal Galipeau said the location of a new interprovincial bridge would go has been studied for the past 60 years with Kettle Island always being the ideal location. Although he was happy to hear the greenbelt would be saved, Galipeau did say he questions when a bridge will ever be built. While admitting there is a commitment from various levels of government to build a bridge, he said he has a hard time believing it could get built in his lifetime. The most recent reports released by Roche-Genivar revealed a bridge would cost taxpayers $1.6 billion. The summary allows for a 25 per cent contingency allowance to compensate for the level of accuracy and minor items and tasks not captured in the summary, as well as 20 per cent for engineering and construction administration costs. The report found that Kettle Island is the most economically viable option, coming in at $200 million less than the cost of the next most economical option. Assheton-Smith said she

questions whether a bridge in the east end would help relieve the downtown core of trucks. She said even the NCC has admitted a new bridge will not reduce the amount of trucks downtown, but will only help disperse the projected rise in the amount of traffic. Based on projections for the year 2031, “the amount of truck traffic if we do not construct a new bridge will increase by 60 per cent on the MacdonaldCartier Bridge,” Peissel said. “In constructing a new crossing in corridor, we are able to reduce that increase to pretty much keeping the level of truck volumes equal to what it is today. Peissel added the consulting firm did look at what would happen if they were to somehow limit the truck traffic on the Macdonald-Cartier Bridge, which resulted in more traffic being dispersed throughout the downtown bridges. “There will still be a lot of trucks in the downtown core, because that is what there destination is.” Assheton-Smith said those numbers just conclude that no bridge will reduce the amount of trucks downtown. CONSULTATION

Residents are encouraged to attend the latest public consultation, being held in Orléans at Shenkman Arts Centre on May 27 from 5 to 9 p.m. NCC spokesman Fred Gaspère encourages the public to continue to participate. “The details are important,” Gaspère said. “We think they are terribly important now.” Those details will be the design of the bridge and mitigating factors for residents who live near the preferred route. Although the it’s the least expensive option, a new bridge at Kettle Island still carries an estimated $1 billion price tag, which Assheton-Smith said she thinks is a conservative number. “When you talk about mitigation, that number will increase. Add in whether the NCC wants to build something iconic, like what Fred (Gaspère) said last night, we could be talking closer to $2 billion,” she said. Assheton-Smith admits she is discouraged by both the consultation process and the announcement of choosing Kettle Island, she did say she will not give up trying to reverse the decision. “We will keep fighting for sure, it’s the right thing to do.”

The ability to hear is priceless. Unfortunately, one in ten of us suffer from hearing loss. If ignored, even the slightest hearing loss has significant consequences. You become disconnected from your world as loved ones become mumblers and asking to repeat becomes a nuisance. Your safety and independence is compromised.

Privately owned and operated by Doctor of Audiology Rosanne McNamee, Hearing Solutions Clinic adopts a unique and refreshing approach to patient care which differs drastically with that of retail settings, larger clinics and manufacturer owned chains. When you walk into Hearing Solutions Clinic, there are no crowded waiting rooms, commission staff or sales tactics. Rather, you will feel at home as you are greeted in an environment with old fashion roots where the focus is personalized hearing healthcare, not hearing aid sales.

“Milos, I am going to Break you” A mini-revolution is brewing in North America. The approach is called “Progressive Tennis.” It is imported from European countries such as France and Belgium where it was used to successfully develop players like Justine Henin-Hardenne and Olivier Rochus. Progressive Tennis uses a systematic progression of court sizes, balls, and racquets, to scale the game down to an appropriate level for 5-10 year olds. Modified racquets and balls are not new. The equipment has been around for a while, as has the “graduated length” concept. Coaches have used bits and pieces for years seeing the advantage from the perspective of success, fun and safety. The difference this time is that all these elements have been brought together in a much more systematic way than ever before. Tennis companies now carry the full line of half-court and ¾-court progressive equipment including graduated, balls, racquets, lay down lines and nets. The power of the progressive tennis system is that it allows players to play quickly and successfully. In Progressive Tennis, the philosophy is that tennis is a great and fun game to play and the quicker and more skillfully a player can play the more fun it is. Each stage not only has specific equipment to aid success, but particular skills to develop as well. It is recommended a Game-Based Approach be used. The coach’s job is to get them to play, and help them learn to play better. Simply put, “Progressive Tennis” is used as a developmental tool to allow young children to improve their overall tennis skills faster so they can transition to the regular court with more ease. The OTA, NCTA, City of Ottawa and all of our clubs are committed to helping you and your children play this great game. Sean Sweeney OTA Regional Chair said that: “All of us are committed to helping introduce over 25 000 new kids to the game of tennis by Dec 2013”. So, call or drop by one of our great clubs below and get started today. You too can crush Milos and his 242KM serve. Well maybe not but you can have a great time trying.

Slower Balls, Smaller Courts, Right sized Racquets” Get started today.

Tennis has changed, come see how! WHAT IS PROGRESSIVE TENNIS?

• Progressive Tennis uses adjusted equipment for young participants and playing formats to match their level of play. This allows a much faster progression to truly enjoy the game. • Progressive Tennis focuses on the skill development to stimulate and maintain excitement and enjoyment. • Progressive Tennis is for ages 3 to 99+.

Early prevention key message at Kidney Foundation AGM Emma Jackson

EMMA JACKSON/METROLAND.

Carlingwood Mall’s managing director Frank Fenn, left, accepts an award with his colleague Lucie Duguay, right, at the Kidney Foundation’s annual general meeting for the Eastern Ontario chapter on May 14. The pair won the Rabbi Reuven P. Bulka Award for an event they held at the west-end mall in February, during which they signed up 300 people to be organ donors.

EMC news - Teach kids how to lead a healthy lifestyle and we’ll prevent a lot of kidney disease. This was the message from Ottawa Hospital kidney expert Dr. Shiv Jindal at the Kidney Foundation’s annual general meeting on May 14. The Eastern Ontario chapter met at Southminster United Church in Old Ottawa South to celebrate a year of success, and for the first time invited several speakers to address current issues in the field. Jindal spoke passionately about the need for prevention at a very young age, before any risk factors for kidney disease have even set in. “We should not be talking about organ failure, because it’s too late,” he

told the audience of about 40 people. “We should be talking about vascular health, which is the common link.” Jindal said genes and factors like gender and ethnicity play a minor role in kidney disease. While the genes are there, it’s our lifestyle choices that cause them to develop kidney disease, he said. Avoiding unhealthy habits from the outset is crucial, Jindal said, and parents and educators must play a key role in making sure children are eating well, getting enough exercise and learning how to lead a healthy lifestyle in the future. When bad habits are allowed to continue, blood vessels are damaged and we don’t even know it, Jindal explained. The damage occurs across the entire body. There are no tests to prove it, and as the damage gets worse it then starts to effect

MEMORABLE DAY

The AGM brought together several key people on the 55th anniversary of the first kidney transplant in the British Commonwealth. Dr. John Dossetor, a Canadian physician and kidney expert who co-ordinated that first transplant from McGill University in Montreal, attended the meeting with his wife. He was joined by Nola Johnson, who donated her kidney to her twin sister Moira on May 14, 1958 when she was just 15 years old - making Canadian and kidney research history. “It’s strange that this (coincidence) would happen,” Johnson said. “When May 14th comes around I think about it but we don’t mark it.” Moira became ill in March, and Dossetor knew she was experiencing renal failure. At the time, transplants could only be done between identical twins - and it was only by chance that the girls’ mother mentioned Moira did indeed have a twin. “We had to test to prove we were identical,” remembered Johnson, who volunteered her kidney as soon as she knew a transplant was a possibility. “It was just a week before they determined there could be an operation.” But it wasn’t so simple. Because the girls were minors, they had to face a family court judge to determine if they were able to consent to donate and receive kidneys. By the time the judge had given his approval, it was May. Though the operation had never been done in Canada or anywhere else in the Commonwealth, Johnson said her mother didn’t want to go to the United States where the doctors had more experience. “She had faith in the doctors,” Johnson said.With good reason. The transplant was successful and Moira lived for 29 years with Johnson’s kidney. Since the sisters shared so many genes, Johnson’s donated kidney eventually became diseased, and Moira was on dialysis for several years before she died from breast cancer in 1987. Johnson also has kidney disease in her remaining kidney, but is not yet on dialysis. R0012115235

organs. By the time the organs are damaged, there is little we can do to reverse the problem, Jindal said. And the problem is getting worse. Kidney disease has tripled in recent years, Jindal said, and in Ottawa there are 200 new patients each year. About 1,000 Ottawa residents are on some sort of dialysis, and another 550 attend the hospital’s progressive renal insufficiency (PRI) clinic. Between 150 and 175 residents are waiting for a new kidney. Jindal said he would like to see a small pilot project in Ottawa that teaches families and educators what a healthy lifestyle actually looks like, and how to promote that with children.

Overnight relay a ‘celebration of life’: event chair jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - Cancer doesn’t sleep and neither do we. This is the answer Rosemary Leu gives when asked why the Relay for Life event is held overnight. “My favourite explanation when people ask ‘Why is Relay overnight?’ the response is that cancer doesn’t sleep and neither do we,” said Leu, the volunteer event chair for the Relay for Life Ottawa West event for the Canadian Cancer Society. The relay will take place on June 7 at Walter Baker Park, from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. “We might get tired doing our relay, we fight fatigue, but when you look at what those people are fighting every day, what we’re doing over 12 hours is not so bad.” Teams walk a track, lined with luminaries – candles placed in special bags that bear the names of cancer survivors and loved ones who lost their battle with cancer. A luminary ceremony is held at 10 p.m. “The inspiration and the emotion that you feel from that ceremony is something that

stays with you,” said Leu. “It touched me in a very deep way. I think it’s definitely something people can come out and enjoy.” The Relay for Life committee is looking for more teams to join the event. Last year, the west Ottawa event had 44 teams registered and Leu said she “absolutely” wants to beat that this year. As of mid-May, 37 teams were registered. Ashley Stewart is the team captain of the Roast Beasts. Her team relays in memory of her sister, Lindsay, who lost her battle with colon cancer in 2011 at age 30. According to her team’s profile, “Lindsay lived every day to its fullest and never stopped fighting. She spoke about her disease openly and publicly in hopes of her story saving someone else’s life. We relay to continue telling Lindsay’s story and to honour her memory.” The team name is derived from Lindsay’s tumour, which she nicknamed “The Beast” and from Sunday roast beef dinners with the family. “This will be our fourth year walking in a cancer fundraiser in the Ottawa area, raising well

over $20,000 so far in the fight against cancer,” said the team’s profile, which has raised more than $2,800 of its $5,000 goal this year. “It’s not too late for people to register a team or go to the website and pledge support for an existing team,” said Leu, who is also the executive director of the Kanata Chamber of Commerce. “It’s primarily a fundraising event but it’s so much more than that.” Last year, $145,000 was raised from the Ottawa west relay, while $1.2 million was raised in total from the Ottawa west, east, south and centre Relays for Life. The event is the largest charitable fundraiser for cancer research in Canada, said Leu. Last year, $46 million was raised across the country. Of that, almost $15 million was given to research in Ottawa. “There is a tremendous amount of work done in our city,” said Leu, who got involved with the relay four years ago as a volunteer. Many teams have a theme tying into their team name. Others dress up in matching outfits or costumes. “It’s a festival atmosphere

brate the fight that they’ve gone through, are going through, and winning that battle,” said Leu. “It’s a fantastic celebration of life. Leu added the committee is also looking for volunteers to help on the day of the relay. “Come out and help us for a few hours,” she said. She added a number of community businesses have donated time and volunteered

and it’s a really inspiring event,” said Leu. “I’m proud to be part of it.” During the 12-hour event there are fun activities throughout the night, such as team spirit and themed laps. A survivors’ victory lap kicks off the beginning of the relay at 6:40 p.m., followed by a parade of the teams. “The survivors’ victory lap is another one where we cele-

City pursuing million-dollar plan to move Sussex homes Laura Mueller and Michelle Nash laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - A previously dismissed plan to move a clutch of heritage homes along Sussex Drive in order to save them from being demolished as part of a road widening is back on the books. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury confirmed the city is in talks with the National Capital Commission to move two homes and rowhouse along a curved section of Sussex between Cathcart and Bolton streets back away from the road to ensure they won’t have to be demolished when the road is widened over the next two years. The city’s planning committee shocked even heritage advocates last October by unanimously rejecting a plan to demolish two heritage homes on Sussex Drive. The houses, one of which was home to former governor general Adrianne Clarkson during her childhood, were proposed to be demolished as part of a project to widen the road into a boulevard to complete the NCC’s Mile of History section of the ceremonial

Lowertown residents protest the demolition of heritage homes on Sussex Drive last fall. After calling on the National Capital Commission and the city to save the homes, officials have decided the best option is to spend more than a million dollars to move the homes further back. Confederation Boulevard. The plan to move the homes, which was previously rejected as too expensive, was kept under wraps until the NCC began informing tenants living in the three affected homes, Fleury said. “Even I’m in a bit of the dark on it,” he said. Fleury said he asked to been briefed on the plans after he heard about it from residents and it is his understanding that the NCC will make an appli-

cation to the city’s planning committee to move the homes away from the street. Members of the Lowertown Community Association were frustrated by a lack of information during a May 13 meeting. Deputy city manager Nancy Schepers and a group of city officials met with Aubin on May 16 to update him on the plans. The city has committed to holding a special community meeting about local infrastructure projects – including

Sussex – as soon as possible, Fleury said. The plan is to present the proposal to move the homes to the built heritage subcommittee on June 13 and planning committee on June 25, according to Fleury. An emailed statement from city spokesperson Andrea Ruttan that was attributed to building and construction manager Ziad Ghadban said the city and NCC are working together to finalize the road’s design. “The design and construction approaches … will incorporate the on site relocation of the buildings at 273 and 275-279 Sussex Dr. The city and NCC staff will be coming forward with an application to secure the required approvals to do so,” the email reads. Aubin said the news is a “bittersweet victory” because the community fought hard for almost two years to save the homes. The NCC and city wasted a lot of time and resources before coming to a solution the community asked for all along, Aubin said. Last fall, heritage advocates questioned why the city and NCC didn’t recommend the option of moving the homes. The NCC’s project manager,

Richard Daigneault, said that option was considered, but removing the buildings wouldn’t have a significant enough impact to warrant the cost. The cost to move the buildings was estimated at about $1.15 million. The NCC argued the rents charged to tenants in the buildings were not high enough to recoup that cost within a reasonable timeframe. The city and NCC will share the cost, but Fleury said the city will likely pay the majority of the cost to move the homes since the road widening is a city-initiated project. Last fall, the transportation committee approved the $30 million road project, which includes adding bike lanes in both directions and widening the sidewalks by up to three metres. Staff said the project is needed to straighten the curve and improve safety for motorists and cyclists. But that reasoning did resonate with members of the city’s planning committee, who rejected the plan and called on staff and the NCC to come up with a more creative solution. Council also rejected the demolition on Oct. 24, 2012. At the time, Kitchissippi

Coun. Katherine Hobbs was the most passionate councillor to argue against the demolitions. She decried a plan to mark Canada’s history that requires the demolition of home representing a compelling national story: a young refugee girl who would eventually move down the street to Rideau Hall to serve as our head of state. “Who is drinking whose Kool-Aid?” she asked. Last fall, Heritage Ottawa president Leslie Maitland said retaining the homes, especially 277 Sussex Dr., would “speak eloquently to the humble roots of our country.” “The history of Ottawa is more than embassies,” she said. A spokesman for the NCC declined to talk about a potential plan to move its homes and deferred questions to the city. “We are working together on this,” said NCC spokesman Jean Wolff. “At this point, the planning stage, there is no point in talking about the homes in particular.” The project will go to tender by the end of May with work starting this summer, continuing through next year.

Running status keeps ladies from being stuck in a crowd of runners

Brier Dodge/Metroland

Liz Maguire, left, and Leah Larocque begin their warm up before a training run at the Terry Fox Athletic Facility. The Running Room team runners are training together to compete in the elite division in the 10 kilometre race at the Ottawa Race Weekend.

“For the recreational athlete to be involved in a race that has elite athletes, it has a lot more hype, it has a lot more news stories, a lot more crowds.” Mutai, a Kenyan, will be back again this year competing in the 10 kilometre race, alongside a handful of international runners, who are all capable of running the race in under 28 minutes. Larocque and Maguire aren’t getting paid the big bucks to run in the race, but the elite status will be an improvement, especially for Larocque because the five-kilometre race doesn’t have an elite start area. Elite runners start ahead of the rest of the pack. This prevents them from getting stuck behind a crowd of runners going at a significantly slower pace in a race where seconds lost can quickly add up. They also pick up race kits in different areas so they don’t need to deal with crowds. Rodrigues started lining up athletes months ago, as top elite runners will only do two or three marathons a year. He’s also accommodating the majority of Canada’s top marathoners, as the race weekend also acts as the

marathon national championship. While many recreation runners will slowly work up to their race distance, running the full distance only on race day, competitive runners are running that, if not longer, on a regular basis. Elite marathon runners can log upwards of 200 kilometres a week, Rodriques said, which can work out to about five marathons a week. Maguire and Larocque run 16 to 18 kilometres for their long runs, with two or three interval running workouts mixed in through the week, and biking and swimming for cross training. The week of the race, the routine stays pretty close to normal, with a shorter long run and easier intervals. The international elite runners arrive a couple of days before the event, enough time to acclimatize, but not enough to lose the benefits of altitude training if it’s part of their routine. Rodriques said the competitive runners are a lot more focused on nutrition, monitoring everything that goes into their bodies, the rest before the race, and getting in a good warm up prior to the race. Marathon world record holder Pat-

rick Makau, who ran the 10 kilometre race in Ottawa a couple of years ago, goes vegetarian the evening before a race. “Meat won’t process, and therefore its unnecessary weight,” Rodrigues said. “So that’s the sort of level you’re looking at – they’re worried (about) every little ounce that’s going to be (there) at the start line.” Maguire said she sticks with what works during training, sticking with what works. Last year, Maguire – who qualifies for the master’s division, but is still competitive in the open – was 11th in the women’s 10 kilometre race. This year, the Riverside South mother will try and shave off some time to place even higher. It will be the first year that Larocque competes in the 10 kilometre event, but she hopes to run a time that would have put her among the top ten female runners last year. These race weekend veterans’ tips for new runners? “Don’t go too fast and enjoy it,” Maguire said. “Build off people who are cheering for you, but if there’s something left – giver,” Larocque said. “You’re going to be tired regardless.” R0012034001

Halvorsen brings elite experiences to Ottawa Race Weekend Steve Newman

High School allowed him to use a dictionary to find certain words, but his learning curve was quick and Canada soon became his new and comfortable home. He went on to earn his engineering degree and MBA at the University of Ottawa, and to win two Canadian club and five Canadian interuniversity cross-country championships, in addition to racing in the 1988 and 1992 Olympic Games. His best Olympic placing was 16th in the 10,000 metres in Seoul, while four years later he ran faster to place 19th in the same event in Barcelona, Spain. The 5-foot-8, 130-pound runner was also named Runner’s World male road racer of the year in 1989. Now about 170 pounds, the 46-year-old married father of three youngsters, ages 14, 12 and 10, remains physically active and connected to the sports community in the National Capital area. Living just across the Ottawa River in Kingsmere, Que., he coaches at the local Nakkertok cross-country ski club, skis, cycles and continues to run. “I had a good run at running for years, and it was a great

EMC sports - Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend race director John Halvorsen knows everyone can’t be a worldclass runner, but the two-time Olympian still wants thousands of runners to have an elite experience during the May 25 and 26 extravaganza. And that’s a big deal, in more ways than one. After all, an Ottawa Race Weekend record 42,573 runners participated in 2012, making it Canada’s largest multi-distance race event. Injury and Achilles tendon surgery prevented Halvorsen’s qualification for a third Olympic Games in 1996, but he was an icon on the North American running scene in the 1980s and 1990s, after coming to Ottawa from his native Norway as a young teenager when his dad took a job at the Norwegian embassy. His parents have long since returned to Norway, but Halvorsen remains in the National Capital area despite retaining his Norwegian citizenship.

experience,” says Halvorsen, though convinced he could have run faster. For 10,000 metres on the track, he ran a world-class time of 27 minutes 43 seconds. “I know I could have better times, because my best times were not when I was in top shape,” says Halvorsen. After working 18 years in Ottawa’s high-tech industry, primarily in marketing and product management, he became Tamarack Ottawa Race weekend’s new full-time race director in late January. FULL-TIME STAFF

Halvorsen works with five other full-time staff, the board of directors, a volunteer race committee and numerous other volunteers. The other full-time staff are communications director Susan Marsh, operations manager Joe DuVall, event manager Al Macartney and assistant operations manager Ryan Cameron. One of the part-time staffers is long-time race director Jim Robinson, who spearheaded the evolution of Ottawa Race Weekend into one of the mosttalked-about running week-

The Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend will attract more than 40,000 runners, people of all ages and skill level, to its May 24 and 25 event.

No longer just about a marathon, as the event was when it began in the early 1970s, Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend is home to the marathon, half-marathon, 10K, 5K, 2K and kids 1K. The marathon will feature a record of more than 6,200 runners this year, but the 10K and half-marathon will each attract the biggest fields, of more than 11,000. Sponsorship plus entry fees create an annual Ottawa Race Weekend budget of $2.8 million, including $400,000 for the elite racers. “Our primary focus, from a time and budget perspective, is organizing the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend because that’s the main event that draws the substantial portion of our revenues … but we also have other events,” says Halvorsen. The budget also accommodates or-

ganization of several Run Ottawa races during the year, including informal Beaver Chase trail runs, the Army Run which may attract more than 20,000 runners this September, the Jim Howe memorial, January’s Richmond road race, and Kanata’s Canada Day road races with 10K-, 5K-, 1.2K- and 100 metre-races. As race director, Halvorsen says he’s called on for leadership, accounting and general management. For this month’s race weekend, Halvorsen sees his role as providing more leadership and vision: “Obviously, we’ve been around for a long time, so we’re not talking about reinventing the wheel, but it’s messaging. Sponsorship is another huge role.” He also remains involved with organizational details, like working with its supplier on course signs and

structures. “We’re talking six-figure costs here, just for structures and signage,” says Halvorsen. Logistics, including those involving security, are also part of the pie. Security remains an important part of running the race weekend, a concern punctuated by last month’s bomb blasts at the Boston Marathon. “Our event now is public enough that we have to expect it’s possible, whether it’s an emergency of this nature (with bombs) or an emergency of lesser nature that still needs some thought process to deal with it,” says Halvorsen. For the first time, Ottawa Race Weekend officials and public responders will take part in a table-top emergency exercise, so people know how to respond if there’s an extreme emergency.

PET OF THE WEEK

EMC sports - Running is all about pacing and routine, and nutrition is no different. When it comes to race day “nothing should really be changing,” said Dr. Beth Mansfield, a registered dietician and exercise physiologist. Diets should be consistent, determined during training around both long runs, and high intensity interval runs. A distance runner’s diet is rich in carbohydrates with rice, legumes, chickpeas, kidney beans, vegetables and small amounts of animal-protein rich foods, Mansfield said. A common mistake with recreational runners is adopting the attitude they can eat whatever they want following a shorter run. “Sometimes the attitude is, ‘I just did a long run, so I’m going to go to Starbucks and get a Frappuccino and cookie,’” Mansfield said. The gels and sports drinks that distance runners in the marathon use aren’t worth it for shorter distance runners. The energy demands aren’t enough to require the same mid-race nutritional boost marathon runners need. The moderation rule goes for fluids too. Mansfield recommends only drinking when you’re thirsty, and not forcing yourself into drink-

ing excess fluids. The one time that a snack or sports drink could be useful at the Ottawa Race Weekend is in the start line area, she said. Because there are so many runners at the weekend races, it’s common to be waiting for some time at the start line. “The stress and excitement and anxiety can burn up some of your energy,” she said. “So it is important while you’re waiting to start the race to keep the blood sugar, some people have a little snack.” But for long distance runners, nutrition can be key, and training the stomach can take years to get just right. There’s reduced blood flow to the gut during a marathon, and it needs to be trained to process fluids and nutrients. “That’s why we say it can take up to 15 years to build a good distance runner, and that’s just getting your gut ready,” she said. The most successful runners are the ones who already have good, consistent eating patterns and don’t have to modify their diets. And the more distance runners are covering, the more important nutrition is. “When you’re trying to train five days a week for a good six month period, your diet can take you from being average to actually a much better result,” Mansfield said.
