Thirty projects on the go to bring zoning in line with Liveable Ottawa Official plan

Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - City planners are putting pen to paper to make good on what Mayor Jim Watson and planning committee chairman Peter Hume have been promising: consistency and certainty in how neighbourhoods will evolve. A blandly-titled “zoning review” happening right now will ensure that zoning – the details on what kinds of residential, commercial or industrial use can occupy a property and how big the building can be – match what the city has called for in the blueprint of how Ottawa will grow – its Official Plan. It may seem like nittygritty bureaucracy to some, but to community groups that have spend almost a decade fighting much-maligned “spot rezonings” of specific urban properties,

the 30 zoning updates now in the works will be a game changer, Hume said. “It’s supposed to be this way,” Hume said. “But it hasn’t always been this way.” Ottawa got to this point because a political decision was made around eight years ago to flout the provincial Planning Act and intentionally leave the zoning out of whack with the Official Plan, forcing developers to file requests to spot rezone specific lots, Hume said. “We said, ‘We’ll make that the responsibility of the developer and communities will have a say (in individual development applications),” Hume said. “We thought that was the better way to go. The way we did it caused more angst.” Now, the city will take a different tact. See NEW, page 27

A May 22 public information meeting detailed the preliminary design plan and environmental assessment currently underway for that stretch of Highway 417. Unlike the elevated freeways that were in vogue in North

American cities in the early 1960s, Ottawa’s Queensway was placed on a berm with underpasses for major streets. Those spans, built between 1961 and 1965, were built to last about 75 years, explained Don Rowat, the ministry’s project engineer. See MINOR, page 21

The idea for the Virtual 5km came from a talk Herzog had with his father, John, who is a past president of the Ottawa Heart Institute Patient Alumni Association.

12 Stirling redevelopment passes planning committee Converted schoolhouse, 17-storey condo tower part of proposal Steph.willems@metroland.com

News – The city’s planning committee has approved a rezoning application for the redevelopment plan of the Odawa Native Friendship Centre in Hintonburg. Following this vote, the application for 12 Stirling Ave. will be decided by city council on June 11. No site plan has yet been filed for the proposal, which was put on hold last year to allow the Scott Street Community Design Plan to be crafted and passed into law, but the key details were provided to community members at a May 22 meeting. The meeting was hastily organized after a glitch prevented the community from being notified that the application had been re-activated. The application also failed to appear on the city’s developments webpage. Hintonburg Community Association member Linda Hoad made this fact known to members of the planning committee. “Neighbours and communities like to know what’s going on ... That is a word of warning,” said Hoad. At the May 22 meeting, representatives from the city’s planning department, the builder and architect were on hand to explain the rationale behind their proposal, which had been slightly tweaked from an earlier one. The current proposal will see the school building on Stirling converted to nine loft-type condominiums, with an entrance for a 13-vehicle parking garage. Four townhomes would front onto Carruthers, though garages would not be allowed at the front of the buildings; instead, those owners would share the un-

derground garage for the condo tower, which is accessed from Carruthers. Overall, the garage would handle 114 vehicle spaces to serve the residents, visitors and patrons of the 119-unit, mixed-use tower. Drivers leaving the garage will be required to turn left towards Scott Street, rather than make their way through the neighbourhood’s side streets. Bike parking would be increased to one spot per unit. “We wanted to make it as accessible as possible,” said city planner Bliss Edwards. Contained within the application is an allowance for a rooftop amenity area, which could take the form of a game room of 200 square metres maximum, smaller than the size of the adjoining mechanical penthouse. At the ground level, the corner of Scott and Stirling would be reserved for open space that could, in the future, become a patio for a business occupying the retail portion of the building. “Right now it’s just open space,” said Ken Hoppner of designer/builder Morley Hoppner Group. “It might never become a patio.” Originally proposed as a 19-storey tower, the condo building that would face Scott (with a roughly sevenmetre setback from the curb) was pared down to 17 storeys to fit in line with a maximum height for the site determined during the community design plan process. Using a 45-degree angular plane from the top of the building facing Scott to the furthest edge of the school building, planners decided 17-storeys would be the maximum allowable height. Certainly, several residents

Dovercourt Recreation Centre construction gets underway Fundraising initiatives for second floor phase launched on May 26

panding the board room and creating a new 186-square metre activity room. “This investment will go a long way to help expand the centre to ensure that we can meet the changing and expanding needs of our clients,” Rapp said. Currently, Dovercourt has 420,000 visits per year, with close to 16,000 clients. The two-phase multi-million dollar project is partially funded by a $1 million cash-in-lieu-of-parkland funds from the city. Rapp also announced the start of fundraising initiatives for the $1.5 million required to complete the project at the ceremony. For mom of two, Dorothy Mailloux, the recreation centre has been her saving grace. “Where else can you go where there is a baby drop-off while you work out?” Mailloux said. Mailloux’s six- and three yearolds use have used the centre since they were babies, and Mailloux herself, said she remembers when the centre was simply a barn where grade school dances were held in her youth. “It’s grown so much over the

Community - A $2.5-million renovation of a well-used west-end recreation centre is officially underway. With construction equipment, security fences and dirt flying in the background, staff and clients of the Dovercourt Recreation Centre together with several politicians celebrated the start of the large renovation project of the Westboro community centre on May 26. The current phase of construction will take place on the main floor of the centre, adding a new family change room, an expanded fitness centre, and a relocated arts studio with a roof top patio. The second phase of construction will tackle the second floor – ex-

Most recently, Mailloux said she was grateful for the centre because of the support it offered her and her three-year-old, Jackson, who had just broken his leg. “His daycare wouldn’t take him, but here they were happy to help – they said they would carry him around if need be – how amazing is that?” Mailloux said. At the announcement many residents came out to gush about the centre, stating the community centre is the heart of the Westboro community. The centre offers a variety of programming and facility use, including swimming lessons, birthday party rentals, sports programming, day camps, seniors programming and various fitness classes and courses. More information about the renovation project or the facility’s programming is available at dovercourt.org.

Wellington Village to get city’s first street painting laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Wellington Village is one of three communities that will be getting brighter streets this summer. The Kitchissippi neighbourhood will be the ďŹ rst to put paint to pavement on June 7 as part of the city’s Neighbourhood Connections OfďŹ ce street-painting initiative. Neighbours are invited to come help paint the pavement with a colourful design – depicted on the Facebook event with people and trees from all seasons surrounding a globe – on Clarendon Avenue between Iona and Java streets. Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs said the project is based on street paintings that are more common in Portland, Ore., and are aimed at contributing to community building. “It changes the face of your neighbourhood,â€? Hobbs said. “You no longer have an open asphalt street – you have a big piece of art on the street.â€? While there is no study data to conďŹ rm it, many, including Hobbs, are hoping the street paintings have a trafďŹ c-calming effect. “It could serve as a piece of visual awareness that you’re in a neighbourhood,â€? Hobbs said. The Wellington Village event, organized by Katie Paris of the community association, will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with a rain date of June 14. There will be washrooms on site and families are encour-

As well, the proposed design can’t cause driver confusion or imply any visual narrowing of the road or a tromp d’oeil effect - the creation of realistic imagery such as a hole in the road, Flowers said. It also can’t include any words or logos, as well as images that evoke trafďŹ c symbols, as that could cause safety concerns.Locations must be supported by the community, particularly the owners of the properties abutting the painting.

aged to bring a lunch if they want to stay all day to help out The concept came together with help from Jennifer Nicol of Flying Colours, a local watercolour artist and teacher. The project is a partnership between the Wellington Village Community Association and Elmdale School’s parent council. Street paintings will be happening in other areas of Ottawa as well, with projects planned for Lowertown, Woodpark and Kanata North later this summer. Andrea Flowers and the city’s Neighbourhood Connections OfďŹ ce dreamed up the project, which they are calling Paint the Pavement. “It was us looking at the inspiration fun, beautiful projects that were happening elsewhere,â€? Flowers said. The projects are aimed at encouraging community building, resident engagement and beautiďŹ cation, she said. The only known street painting in Ottawa before now is a pansy that residents of Pansy Avenue have painted on their street as far back as 1997. The “guerillaâ€? project was led by City Repair Ottawa, which at the time was modeled after a Portland-based group of the same name, Flowers said.

That means a street that sees fewer than 2,500 vehicles pass through in any given 24-hour period.

Mechanicsville looking to relax following planning battles Steph Willems Steph.willems@metroland.com

Community – The re-birth of the Mechanicsville Community Association almost two years ago was a trial by fire, but after fighting several large battles the neighbourhood is now looking to come together for fun and enjoyment. Blair Simser, a five-year resident of the community, was elected president of the association earlier this month, replacing past president Guy Lachapelle, who had stepped down from the position after moving to Toronto. The community association was hastily re-formed in

the fall of 2012 as a response to a flurry of high-rise condominium proposals on Parkdale Avenue and a looming community design plan process. Bracketing the community were a number of other planning issues – the ongoing redevelopment plan for Tunney’s Pasture to the west, the proposed diversion of Transitway buses onto Scott Street to the south, and the planned redevelopment of the Bayview Yards site to the east. All of this came after decades of relatively little change in the neighbourhood. “There is lots of change in the area – I find it quite amazing,” said Simser, referring to

the adjoining communities of Hintonburg and Wellington West as well. While none of the three proposed condo projects on Parkdale have been built, or have even started construction yet, Simser is proud of what the community achieved when those applications came forward. “I think we did a good job,” he said. “All you can really do in that situation is speak for the community and try for the best outcome.” Some of the Section 37 money from the condo developments would have benefitted Mechanicsville’s Laroche Park, though the condo downturn in Ottawa has kiboshed

park improvement plans for the time being. “Two of the (condo) projects are on hold,” explained Simser. “I think we’ll see money in the future, but it will be a long time coming.” Currently, the park is regenerating the grass on its sports field, while the play areas, ball diamond and field house remain open. As Mechanicsville awaits the next development proposal and involves itself with community planning, there is also a desire to create ways to bring the community together: neighbourhood events and activities. “Now we want to get back to doing the more enjoyable things as a community association,” said Simser. Anyone wanting to become a part of action is invited to attend the community association’s annual general meeting, to be held June 17 at 7 p.m. at the Laroche Park Fieldhouse.

All-inclusive lineup planned for Folk Festival’s 20th anniversary Organizers hoping to draw 50,000 festival-goers Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Arts - After securing musical acts ranging from Lorde and Blue Rodeo to The Wiggles and Fred Penner, organizers of the Ottawa Folk Festival say the five-day event will feature something for multiple generations of people. “We have made it a lot more inclusive,� said A.J. Sauve, Ottawa Folk Festival spokesman. “(Folk Fest is) not a narrower demographic because it appeals to young people, especially with The Wiggles (drawing in) people from four and six years old all the way up to 50-plus years old.� Festival-goers who follow the folk scene and its storytelling singers and songwriters will also be satisfied throughout the festival, which happens Sept. 10 to 14 at Hog’s Back Park. The event turns 20 this year. “More discerning fans will be familiar with the music of The Milk Carton Kids or Foster

A.J. Sauve, spokesman for the Ottawa Folk Festival, hopes to see 50,000 people attend the event in September at Hog’s Back Park, up 10,000 over last year’s festival. the People,� Sauve said. “It’s not names that jump right off the map as household names.� A dozen local acts, including Craig Cardiff, High Waters and Lora Bidner, have already signed on. “There’s at least a fifth of the programming that is dedicated to local acts, since there’s about 50 or 60 acts coming in,� Sauve said, adding this signals Ottawa’s music scene is on the map. “I opened a bar called the Rainbow Bistro back in 1984

– it’s a live-music venue here in Ottawa – and I remember when people would call and say, ‘Where’s the band from?’ and if you said, ‘From Ottawa,’ it was like ‘Aww.’ Now if you say a band’s from Ottawa, there’s a really strong music scene in Ottawa.� Both free and paid festival programming will be available at the park, separated by a bicycle path that cuts through the green space. Two stages, as well as several food trucks and a large beer tent showcas-

ing several craft beers, will be located on the free side, while three stages of musical talent will be available for paid pass holders elsewhere in the park. “Food trucks have really caught on in Ottawa ‌ so we’re having a food truck rally,â€? Sauve said, adding a variety of food will be available for purchase on Saturday and Sunday.The weekend lineup will also feature an interactive element with artist panels, tutorials, and a question-and-answer period. “We’re going for a more interactive approach which we think will be more compelling,â€? Sauve said, adding that people will likely enjoy hearing two artists talk to each other about touring, as well as singing and songwriting, among other topics.

After taking over the operation of the Ottawa Folk Festival from previous management and relocating the event from Britannia Park in 2011, organizers haven’t looked back since. “It really is iconic with the Hog’s Back Falls; and people involved in tourism ‌ want that because finally we were highlighting and putting that park to good use and driving thousands of people in that direction, and sort of reinventing that site’s potential in staging concerts there,â€? Sauve said. Ottawa Folk Fest happens Wednesday, Sept. 10 to Sunday, Sept. 14 at Hog’s Back Park, located at the corner of Riverside Drive and Heron Road. For ticket information or a complete schedule, please visit ottawafolk.com.

“This can be sort of a twoway engagement, so really cool,� the spokesman said. Organizers have also planned this year’s lineup with children and families in mind. In addition to children’s entertainers taking the stage, the event will feature a KidZone on the weekend, including more than 100 instruments at a touch-and-try musical petting zoo, a parade and dance tent activities. Given the diverse acts and activities planned, organizers are hoping to attract 50,000 people this year, about 10,000 more than last year’s festival. “Last year, we had 8,000 a day which was really a big leg up from what Folk Festival used to do,� said Sauve. “We did more in one day than they used to do in a whole festival.�

Learning to be great again

I

t’s time Ontarians got the plan for the future they deserve, and one they can be proud of. A large number of democratic election campaigns focus on the challenges facing the populace that happens to be voting at the time – only a handful have the luxury of deciding what to do with good fortune. Politicians direct their energy towards any number of issues: health care, education, energy, crime, immigration, the economy. The priority depends on the point of view. Incumbents tend to take a longer view, as think they’ve done a good job up until now and want to look to the horizon to see what other great things can be accomplished. Those who sit in opposition or are seeking office look for things gone wrong or what they feel the public is clamouring for. In Ontario, much of this year’s campaign has been focusing on the economy and how it can be put back on the path to prosperity. Some want to spend their way to success, others want to cut spending to bring back the good times. The deficit and debt play a significant role in the conversation, with each party pledging to put Ontario back in the black sometime in the near future. What most of these schemes lack is a focal point, something basic within the mandate of a provincial

government on which to rebuild our society from the smoking crater it now finds itself in. What should Ontario’s next government focus on to make this a good place to live? The answer should be academic: education. The benefits of a sound education system are numerous, but there are several reasons why it should be a priority for the province. First, in order to continue the transition away from a manufacturing-based economy, education becomes much more vital for the residents of Ontario. Arresting the decline in Education Quality and Accountability Office standardized mathematics scores in particular, representing skills important in fields such as engineering, medicine, information technology and financial services, should be among the priorities. Second, a more educated population not only earns more and therefore pays more taxes (helping reduce the deficit), but is attractive to investors looking to start up a business or international firms looking to set up shop. Third, a focus on education can only help encourage those who may lack the skills or training to find a job get back in the learning habit. A culture of education can beget more education. If there’s one thing you should be asking candidates who come to your door, it should be: “What’s your plan for education?�

Apathy? Perhaps it’s just a sign of contentment

t will be interesting to see what turnout is like in the June 12 provincial election. To no one’s surprise, the party leaders are treating the election as if it were a matter of life or death for the province. But few Ontarians see it that way. You want life and death? Take a look at the elections in Ukraine, or India, or South Africa. In those places, democracy is in a more brittle state than it is here. Different parties will take their country in wildly different directions. Losers take it less well than they do here. The possibility of violence is never far away. The survival of democracy is less certain. Whereas here? Your party, whichever it is, could lose, could be wiped out and yet your day-to-day life would not be affected much. Ask a federal Liberal. Ask a federal Conservative after 1993. There is a broad consensus on how far government can go and no one deviates from it. The result is that changes of government, while they make some people quite unhappy, don’t make a fundamental difference. The schools and hospitals and the police continue to function. Those who disagree are not thrown in jail. The sun rises and sets over a peaceful province.

Those were three men with quite different visions, yet the province could accommodate all of them without breaking apart. Federally it is the same. Even for all the Harper haters out there, life hasn’t changed appreciably. When the federal Conservatives run for re-election next year, they may win, they may lose. You don’t know. But you can bank on the fact that voter turnout will be about the same. In other words, not high. Those who are struggling for higher voter turnout are doing noble work and more power to them. But much of the apathy they face is born out of contentment.

People like their lives and don’t think they are threatened, even if the bad guys win. So, in a peculiar kind of way, low turnout shows that the system is working, that we have social peace. If things were really horrible, more people would be turning out to vote for change. If we did not have social peace, there would be fighting in the streets. We don’t have that. We have people staying at home watching TV instead of going to the polls. While that’s better than fighting in the streets, it’s clearly not good. Some experts blame low turnout on political parties failing to be relevant to voters, especially young voters (or non-voters). Maybe. Or maybe potential voters are bored with the same names showing on the ballot year after year. That might apply around here. Or maybe potential young voters would be more inclined to get involved if the schools did a better job of teaching how our democracy works and what elections and political parties are all about. The fact that the sun will still rise on the morning after the election does not mean there will not be change. The lack of blood in the streets does not mean nothing is at stake.

Decisions made by the provincial government have quite an impact on the city. Ask the parents whose kids are enrolled in fullday kindergarten. Ask the low-income people who are waiting for housing. Ask all of us who have been waiting and waiting and waiting for those LRT trains to start running. We have the luxury of being apathetic. That’s nice for us in a way, given some of the alternatives. But apathy also opens the way for politics to become the preserve of fanatical few. Then when things go bad we will wonder why nobody did anything to stop it.

Is big spending on kids’ sports making them less active?

O

ver the winter, I signed my boys up for an indoor sport at a gym. Although they played outside in the snow, skated and did other winter sports, they were really excited to have the opportunity to have a space to run. They were due to be disappointed. They tore across the gym that first day, only to hear the coach say, “No running, please.” They weren’t allowed to run in the gym, not that day, nor the weeks following. In fact, many of the hours of “fitness” I paid for were spent standing on the sidelines and waiting their turns. So I wasn’t surprised at the latest findings from Active Healthy Kids Canada. The organization released its annual assessment of children’s physical activity levels just after the May long weekend,

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse for the first time also comparing Canadian children to those in 14 peer countries. Appallingly, when it comes to physical fitness in children, Canada is almost at the bottom of the pack. In a grade-level scoring, Canada received a D-, lower than England, South Africa, Nigeria and Mexico. The only country that received a lower score than Canada was Scotland, where deep-fried Mars bars in front of the television is considered normal after school activity. Mozambique

and New Zealand came out on top, with B grades for both. While it may seem counterintuitive at first glance, Active Healthy Kids Canada found that despite Canadians being big spenders on organized sports, and maybe even because of it, Canadian kids are lagging behind when it comes to physical fitness. Because of our reliance on organized activities to keep our kids fit, Canadian children are not engaging in spontaneous active play, suggests the

cent of parents surveyed said their kids are always driven to school, either by bus or car. Finally, we need to just let the kids play. Studies have shown that allowing children to play unsupervised, particularly in a natural environment, not only boosts their creativity, but their physicality as well. We have an abundance of urban park land and national park space in close proximity, not to mention two rivers and public beaches. Parents do have a role to guide their children’s physical activity sometimes, too. There are a lot of ways to get active as a family. Last summer, my husband installed a military-grade climbing rope attached to the tree in our backyard. We all attempt to climb it daily. But there are simpler and less expensive things you can use

report. Overscheduled lives and helicopter parenting has increasingly meant that kids aren’t spending their free time running around the backyard, but more likely on the couch with a screen in hand. Sedentary behaviour isn’t just endemic for adults in this country, but for kids too. Canadian children ages 12 to 17 spend 9.3 hours per day in sedentary activity. So what to do? Active Healthy Kids Canada believes we need to change the way we think about children’s fitness. For one, we need to rid ourselves of the notion that video games – even active ones – can offer any benefit to our children’s health. They don’t, says the organization. Another paradigm shift the organization believes has contributed to fatter kids is the elimination of the “active commute.” Sixty-two per

to encourage family fitness: skipping ropes, running shoes, hiking boots, or even a soccer ball. Getting kids to fit physical activity into their lives requires adults fitting it into theirs. I know a number of people who do running training with their children. One neighbour is training his kids to be skateboarding masters. Another family loves indoor climbing. If you want to create a lifestyle of physical activity, you’ve got to find activities you and the kids like to do. There’s nothing wrong with organized sports, but make sure the kids have enough scope and imagination to get out there and ride their bikes with the neighbour kids once in a while, too. As the latest report card shows, we can no longer afford to “outsource” our kids’ physical health.

Cyclists celebrate in Vanier michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Vanier’s one and only bicycle festival is set to return this June. Organized by the Vanier Community Association’s sub-committee, Vanier Cycles, Vélo Fest will be a celebration for cyclists and community members alike on June 8 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The festival will host a number of activities that include safe cycling skills, skill challenges, and a bike tune-up workshop. There will also be bikes available for children to use at the event. “This year all the activities will be in one place and we have some prizes too,” said organizer Sarah Partridge. She reported there will be free helmets for children and T-shirts to hand out on a first-come, first-serve basis to the first 100 children aged 13 and under participating in the event.

The day will include a safety rodeo, a video presentation, bike tune-ups and information booths from the community association and organizations that operate in Vanier. There will also be a free barbecue at noon. The association has partnered with the Vanier Community Service Centre, which operates Vélo-Vanier, a free neighbourhood bike-share program, and the Club Optimiste, which runs a bike rodeo each year to make the festival possible. The city’s Safer Roads Ottawa program also contributed to the organization of the event. Partridge said more partners and participants are still contacting her, including some local schools that want to encourage cycling, including the potential to create a biking school bus, similar to current walking school buses which operate in parts of the city.

Volunteers are welcome to come out and help with the fix-your-bike workshop, serve food at the barbecue or take pictures. Email vanieravelo@ gmail.com for more information. A full list of activities and times is available at vanier-association.com. Prior to Vanier’s festival, the city’s cycling festival, Capital VéloFest, takes place on May 31 at city hall. The festival has partnered with Big Brothers, Big Sisters Ottawa and is encouraging participants to donate to the festival with proceeds to go to the local charity. The activities will be similar to Vanier’s, with a bike rodeo, but there will also be a night bike ride the Tour La Nuit. Registrants who offer a donation will receive a free pass to the “Gear Zone” to light up their bikes for the ride.

High students restore old streetcar School project on track to be complete by 2017 Michelle Nash

mIchelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Students from Rideau High School are getting a rare opportunity to get a hands-on learning experience thanks to a piece of Ottawa’s past. Known as the 696 Streetcar Restoration Project, a group of students from Rideau’s woodworking and transportation classes are restoring and reconstructing a streetcar that was built in 1917. The school is working with the 696 Streetcar Restoration group at the OC Transpo maintenance facility in Nepean. The goal is to complete the project in the next three years, to have it ready and functional for Canada’s 150th birthday. Woodworking teacher Robert Aucoin said the students, who range from grades 9 to 12, are combining their knowledge from both woodworking and automotive to get the job done. “This is a perfect fit to combine the two classes,” Aucoin said. “We were doing it before, in a smaller capacity, but not at this magnitude, with this opportunity to work on something that is 100 years old.” The students have little actual original streetcar pieces to work with and are recreating basically everything

for the project from scratch. They are learning everything from workplace safety, teamwork and how turn imagination and creativity into something concrete. Aucoin said for the most part they build the streetcar pieces at the school, and on May 23 the students were attempting to fasten the doors to the frame of the car. As the job gets closer to completion, Aucoin expects the class to spend more time at the facility. The job is an expensive one. Aucoin said by the time the project is complete, it will have cost somewhere between $300,000 and $500,000. He said this portion of the project was funding with an $8,000 donation from building supply store Lowe’s. “Everything is particular and expensive. Cherry wood, special glass -- it all costs a lot,” he said. The teacher said he plans on creating more partnerships with local businesses to see the project to completion. The restoration project has been ongoing for many years, said 696 Streetcar Restoration group member Rheaume Laplante. He said the restoration project has been incredibly difficult because in the 1920s the blueprints for the street-

cars were burned during a labour dispute. Laplante said the group works with heritage streetcar museums, like the Halton County Radial Railway museum. “Everything we are doing is based on research of similar streetcars,” he said. Because of this, automotive teacher Mark Backmann said his students have had to design everything from scratch and handmade, like they would have in 1917. “It’s been a really great experience,” said Kyara Stronach-O’Connor, a Grade 9 woodworking student. Stronach-O’Connor’s job for the day was to sand down the paint on the side of the streetcar, which she said was really hard and a lot of work, but still, said she loved having the chance to help fix up the car. Aucoin and Backmann said this rare opportunity is something both of them as just as excited to participate in as much as the kids. “It’s just amazing,” Backmann said. “I am in as much awe as the students. I have never been on a streetcar, and now I am helping restore an important piece of history.” Many of the students might not see the project from start to finish, but Aucoin said he believes there are a few diehard woodworking and automotive students who have really

In addition to the learning opportunities for the students, Aucoin said he would also like to honour former Rideau High School student and bus driver David Woodard, who died last year in the Barrhaven bus crash, in some way as well. “It’s an idea, I don’t know what we would do, but I thought it would be a nice way to honour him,” he said.

Aucoin never knew Woodard, but did teach his brother and felt inclined to do something for the family. The project will take over three years to complete, just in time for the 2017 ceremonies Aucoin said. “That’s the goal. We will try to get it complete for Canada’s birthday,” he said. “And it will be great to have everyone looking at what we worked at restoring.”

West Ottawa and Nepean chamber members to vote on merger Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

News – The West Ottawa Board of Trade is looking to merge with the Greater Nepean Chamber of Commerce in a bid to increase their collective footprint. Members of both organizations will be asked to vote on the proposal in June. The merger had already received unanimous approval from the groups’ boards of directors during a vote held on May 20. The proposed merger is the work of several months, said board of trade executive director Rosemary Leu. “It actually started probably around six months ago,” she said, when an off-the-cuff comment started conversations over whether the two groups could work as one. “We decided there might be something there, so we struck the task force and they started meeting pretty much on a weekly basis starting in the beginning of the new year,” she said. Both boards of directors voted in favour of going ahead with the merger during a special meeting on May 20. At that time, they approved a motion to hold a special member meeting on June 17 to put the question to a vote. “The boards have done their due diligence and their work and looked into a lot of the details, but ultimately,

something of this significance has to be something that the members want,” said Leu. Members would see many benefits in merging the two organizations, she said, adding the merger would reduce overhead costs, with just one office and one board. But combining the board of trade with its approximately 400 members and the chamber with its 250 members, would also result in much greater lobbying power, she said. “The strength of an organization representing over 600 business members in west Ottawa cannot be understated,” said Leu. “That is a key part. The political representation that will fall within our boundaries will be significant.” The merger would mean nine city wards would fall within the new organizations’ boundaries, which would give the group a much stronger voice, she said. “Being the voice of business is a key role for any organization like us, so to have that increased representation by the size of our organization and the potential for growth is huge,” said Leu. The benefits for the chamber may be a bit different, said chamber director Gavin Leishman, but there are still many of them. Leishman was a member of the task force that looked into the merger. He said the chamber is composed of small-

er businesses compared to the board of trade, and that the biggest benefit for them is likely the greater networking opportunities within a much larger organization. “I think availability to both groups of meeting and having other people to speak to about their business during breakfasts and luncheons and stuff like that probably would be the biggest benefit,” said Leishman. On top of that, Leishman said members could realize benefits in medical insurance premiums for small businesses. “Costs are spread over a much larger group,” he said. “Therefore, we should be able to see an insurance decrease or certainly no increase in the foreseeable future for businesses and members that take part.” There are some drawbacks to the merger, said Leu, especially when it comes to logistics. For the organizations’ marquee events, Leu said the new organization would look to keep those in their usual areas, with some smaller events taking place in new places. The organizations will be holding two information sessions likely in the week before the vote, though Leu said those dates are not set, and the date for the vote may change as well. The fact that both boards have voted unanimously for the merger is a strong show of support, said Leu.

Pictured above, Leu stands with the then-newly elected board of trade’s president, Rick Chase, during its annual general meeting on Sept. 26, 2013. “That was tremendous, and the board is often a litmus test for what the membership may do.” However, Leu and Leishman said they don’t know which way members

will go. Both said they are excited to see how the membership votes. “I think there is tremendous potential for what we could do,” said Leu.

Presto now reloads in four hours

River Ward City Councillor @CouncillorMcRae Conseillère, quartier Rivière

OC Transpo smart card sync times down from 24-48 hours Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Presto has eased one of the top fare smart-card complaints: a delay in money loading onto cards. After upgrades earlier this spring, Presto cards will now recognize funds when they are tapped on an OC Transpo bus within four hours of money being added to the card online. That’s a big improvement from the 24-to-48 hour window that it used to take, said transit commission chairwoman Coun. Diane Deans. The delay could even be as little as 10 minutes, Deans said. It could also take slightly longer than four hours. “It’s loaded a lot more often, so it will be better,” Deans said. The improvement is possible because the Presto payment readers on OC Transpo buses have been outfitted with cellular devices to receive updates on account information on a more

frequent basis. That information is now refreshed three to six times a day on every bus in the system, as opposed to once a day in the past. Before, buses had to return to the garage to be hooked up to the network and sync the on-board system with Presto’s online system. Now, that can happen remotely. OC Transpo is the only Presto-enabled transit system to use cellular technology at this time, Deans said. The smart-card payment system, which is overseen by the provincial government’s Metrolinx agency, is also used in Hamilton and the Greater Toronto Area. The last time the transit commission received an update on the Presto system in February, there were more than 140,000 of the cards in use in Ottawa and the system had registered 27.5 million successful taps. An electronic fare payment option for the city’s Para Transpo fleet of accessible buses is still in the works, so the transit commis-

Victoria Day Fireworks – A Tremendous Success

File

One of the major complaints for OC Transpo’s Presto fare payment system has been tackled. It should now allow passengers to tap their cards around four hours after loading money online. sion agreed to extend a discount on the cash fares Para Transpo users pay. Since Presto cards can’t be tapped on Para Transpo vehicles, those passengers aren’t able to take advantage of the most discounted fares – “e-purse” cash

value loaded onto a Presto card. Sticking with the Para discount until July 1 will ensure the fare is the same. The transit commission supported extending the fare reduction from $3.45 to $2.75 until that time.

Thank you to the Riverside Park Community and Recreation Association and to all volunteers who worked hard to ensure that our community enjoyed a wonderful display of fireworks at Mooney’s Bay Beach to celebrate Victoria Day. Although not yet officially open, a big thanks and warm River Ward welcome to the Beach House Bistro who brought in refreshments and fired up the BBQ for everyone to enjoy. It was great to see so many residents and visitors, including my parents, enjoying the evening. Congratulations!

Originally meant to be representative of the its namesake, some confusion occurred over which Jack Purcell the downtown park was named after, resulting in a design that represented badminton rackets -- the trademark of Guelph, Ont. world champion badminton player Jack Purcell, not the community figure of the same name who was known as a hockey-loving volunteer who lived in Centretown. According to the city, the design was completed before the mistake was made, which resulted in the city removing the badminton strings from the structures. Now meant to represent an urban forest, the ‘poles and loops,’ which cost $4,595 each, glitter at night and sparkle during the day.

Dalhousie re-zoning leaves Lowertown residents concerned Michelle Nash

Michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - The city’s plan to rezone properties along Dalhousie Street north of St. Patrick is not sitting well with many Lowertown residents. A recent presentation of the plan, which is being conducted in order to comply with city council directives last fall concerning the Official Plan, left many of the residents in attendance raising concerns, specifically with changes that would see the street change in character from residential to commercial.The city planner in charge of the file, Steve Gauthier, said that the changes were simply so the street, which already is designated a commercial traditional main street south of St. Patrick, matches the designation north of St. Patrick too. Gauthier added that what is protected in the Lowertown West heritage conservation district, including heritage overlays, will remain protected. The presentation was during Lowertown Community Association’s monthly meeting on May 12 and many residents said they understood the desire for intensification, but not in a

Michelle Nash/Metroland

The mainly residential portion of Dalhousie Street, from St. Patrick Street to Boteler Street is currently undergoing a re-zoning. heritage designated area. “We understand heritage overlays overrides anything, but it is also our experience that the city lifts the heritage overlay when it suits,” said board member Sylvie Grenier. Many echoed Grenier’s comments, even questioning the purpose of rezoning, if the city claims the area will remain protected and residential. Gauthier said the new zoning will allow for small businesses to open and potentially animate the street. The change could also allow new buildings to be six storeys in height instead of its current

four-storey limit. Residents seemed none too pleased about that either. “Why bother?” said Liz MacKenzie, a member of the association’s heritage committee. “It seems to me this will be the wedge that ruins our designation. It’s a waste of city resources unless there is an advantage for somebody.” Dalhousie Street is not alone in being rezoned for consistency. The city is currently looking at approximately 30 areas to comply with the Official Plan. The majority of the review will affect land currently designated as town centres,

mixed-use centres, arterial main streets and traditional main streets. The review will focus on the new policies in the Official Plan which will specify minimum and maximum building heights, minimum densities and permitted land use. Gauthier said MacKenzie’s concerns were valid, and that all comments about the rezoning should be sent to him so he can take them into consideration moving forward. Speaking for Heritage Ottawa, Jay Baltz said the protection of heritage overlays is definitely a concern. “Technically, the zoning on Dalhousie will not change, because heritage overlays are zoning. However, heritage overlays have proven to be a weak tool,” he said. Baltz added the committee of adjustment can grant permission to lift them, and city planners often recommend that they be lifted to allow development applications to go forward. Gauthier remained firm that these changes are simply to have the zoning match. Grenier pointed out a zoning bylaw is a legal document, which she said is something developers can use to argue in

their favor. A heritage overlay is not – it is simply a guideline meant to be followed or respected. Baltz agreed. “The underlying zoning is very often cited as the ‘real’ zoning for the area, and often prevails over heritage overlays. It is also difficult to defend overlays at the Ontario Municipal Board when the underlying zoning is much higher,” he said. Grenier said what she would like to see is for a heritage district to become a bylaw to add protection. Mat Genest, who works in Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury’s office, told residents the councillor is working on making heritage district guidelines bylaws. “Prior to 2006, they just did guidelines. Going forward they will be adopted,” Genest said. The Lowertown West heritage conservation district was designated in 2005. Genest said the wording needs to change to have the guidelines adopted into bylaw. He added this needs to be done for every conservation district. Grenier said since the focus should be on changing the wording and creating bylaws,

she feels the rezoning should be put on hold. “This should be delayed until that is changed,” she said. Gauthier assured residents that regardless of the rezoning the protection will be enough. Baltz said from a heritage perspective, he remains skeptical. “You have to ask: why the city is increasing the height in the zoning if their position is that it will not have any effect? The heritage district designation is the main protection. Alterations to any property in a heritage conservation district have to be approved by the built heritage subcommittee. The committee does not consider overlays, however, since they are under zoning (Planning Act) not heritage (Heritage Act), and the built heritage committee only deals with applications under the Heritage Act.” Gauthier said he would share the community’s concerns, and encouraged people to email him or call him if they had any more concerns or questions. The city will hold open house will be held for the project on June 17 at city hall from 4 to 8 p.m.

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

MINIMIZE THE FINAL INCOME TAX LIABILITY OF YOUR ESTATE proper planning, a deceased’s “ Without income tax liability could be significant Did you know that approximately 80% of Canadians will donate to a charity during their lifetime? However, it is estimated that less than 10% will include a gift to a registered charity in their Will.

This is one of a series of several articles intended to build awareness about the impact of legacy giving to Forever CHEO. In addition to the spiritual and community benefits of gifting to a registered charity, naming a registered charity as a beneficiary in your Will can also be an effective way to minimize the final income tax liability

of an estate. Without proper planning, a deceased’s income tax liability could be significant. Various income inclusions at the time of death, such as deemed capital gains and the fair market value of an RRSP can result in a higher than expected estate income tax liability given Canada’s graduated income tax rates.

Gifts to Forever CHEO can include cash legacies, bequests of real or personal property, securities, life insurance proceeds and all or part of the residue of the estate. All of these gifts can potentially generate tax credits available to reduce an estate’s income tax liability. Additionally, the gifting of certain types of capital property to Forever CHEO under the terms of a Will may avoid capital gains but still maximize the tax credits available from such a gift.

Minor repairs to occur before major bridge projects begin “We’re comparing the cost of rehabilitation versus outright replacement,” said Rowat. “This summer we will evaluate the alternatives. Once we do that we’ll come up with a technically preferred (solution) and come back to the public in the fall.” Repair or replacement wouldn’t occur all at once, nor would it occur during the course of Ottawa’s LRT construction period, said Rowat. Besides analyzing the situation and finding the best solution for each span, provincial funding would have to be secured for the project. In the interim period, small-scale repairs will take place on the bridges. “We’re developing holding strategies for these structures – they could occur as early as 2015, with the goal of extending the life of the structure,” said Rowat. Whether repaired or replaced, there are a number of ways either option could occur – including rap-

id bridge replacement -- each with different disruptions to traffic. Disruption would be weighed alongside cost when determining the best solution. While the fate of the road bridges is undecided, the ministry is certain the lengthy span over the O-Train corridor will need replacement. “Based on bridge condition and the need for seismic upgrades, this alternative is recommended to be carried forward,” stated a document presented at the open house. That replacement could result in a similar three-span bridge or an abbreviated one-span crossing with both ends backfilled with earth. Regardless of what option is chosen, Rowat said a rapid bridge replacement is likely possible via a “jack and slide” method. “Rapid replacement with either a one- or three-span bridge,” said Rowat. “I do believe we have room to accommodate that. If we choose to do that, it would be constructed for probably a full year and the closure would be held over a long

A Ministry of Transportation map shows the locations of 12 Queensway crossings - totalling 23 bridge spans - that will undergo extensive repairs or replacement in the future. The MTO will return to the public this fall with a more exact plan based on further research and feedback.

For more information on Hannah and all our adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd. Check out our website at ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

There is no such thing as a free kitten cannot 100% guarantee that an animal will be well cared for once in the adopter’s home. But we can ensure that we are not contributing to pet overpopulation. We include other procedures like vaccination and many times, even dentistry to ensure that all the animals we adopt gets the best start for their new lives. We are able to provide all this for a cost that is far less than an adopter could obtain for themselves. Everyone, especially the cat or dog, wins. But money is not the only issue. The root cause is irresponsible human behaviour. People that take the free kitten, don’t sterilize it, and let it roam are a major source of unwanted litters. In an Ottawa climate, potentially one cat and her offspring can produce a stunning 172,000 kittens in only seven years. Unvaccinated cats become a reservoir of infection that eventually migrates to any place where cats come to together in

significant numbers—a feral cat colony or a shelter or other animal organization. Too often, I hear people say that they let their cats breed—even multiple times—but that it was “okay” since they found them all homes. Over 7,000 cats end up at the Ottawa Humane Society every year. Thirty-five percent of them are believed to have been acquired either from a friend or relative or from some form of “free to good home”. Our community suffers from a major cat overpopulation problem and the people who allow their cat to breed are a large part of it. But the people who take the “free kitten” also contribute to the problem, by either being irresponsible themselves or by sparing those that breed from the consequences of their actions. Unwanted and neglected “free” cats ultimately suffer and have to be euthanized by someone other than the irresponsible person that brought them into the world.

Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly!

Here I am almost an 8 years old Golden Doodle, but never too middle aged to run with all my pals at our Park near by. After my run I cozy up on my favorite couch with my best friend toy Wally, and wink at my Mom to say it will be a quick nap only.

With the advent of social media and on-line classified sales, the box of cute but unwanted kittens brought to the office has been replaced with on-line ads for these surplus felines. “Free to good home” advertisements are now disseminated much more widely and have become much more common. Is there such a thing as a free kitten? No! Once even the early costs of caring for a young animal such as sterilization, vaccination, deworming, etc. are factored in, the OHS estimates that it will cost more than $600 for a kitten and even more for a puppy in its first year, not including food and basic supplies. Sadly, many people are shocked by these costs, and either simply ignore the animal’s needs or bring it to us at the humane society. That is why the Ottawa Humane Society and societies like it sterilize animals prior to adoption. Even with good adoption screening and counseling, we

Discovering Ottawa’s Jewish community during Doors Open Ottawa By Jenna Guilbeault

The Ottawa Jewish Archives, nestled between Carlingwood and McKeller Heights, is an organization that is part of the Jewish Federation of Ottawa. It specializes in the collection and preservation of materials that document the history of Ottawa’s Jewish community, and makes them available to the public. “We have a very interesting collection, and a lot of people don’t even know we exist,” said Emily Leonoff, archivist and conservator at the Jewish Archives. With assistance from the Ottawa Jewish Historical Society, founding archivist Shirley Berman first opened the archives in 1969. In 1984 the Jewish Community Centre on Chapel Street was home to the archives, and in 1998 it was relocated to its current residence in the Joseph and Rose Ages Family Building, part of the Soloway Jewish Community Centre at 21 Nadolny Sachs Private. Since 1999, the Jewish Federation of Ottawa has assumed responsibility for the archives, maintaining and preserving documents, records and photographs collected over the years. While there remains missing information and gaps in the community’s history, the Ottawa Jewish Archives has collected over 25,000 text records

and 8,500 photographs, all donated by local residents, businesses and organizations. The materials detail the community’s history, which began in Lowertown in the 1880s. Records from individuals, families, businesses, educational institutions, congregations and community organizations have been preserved. As some of the material is over a century old, Leonoff says, “We often have to do a lot of repair work on the documents that come in, especially if they’re going to be on display.” Some of Ottawa’s well-known families can be found in the archives, such as the Kardash family who founded the Rideau Bakery in 1930. “We have a lot of family history documents stored here, and I encourage people to come check it out,” added Leonoff. “You never know what you might discover.” On June 7 and 8, 130 of the city’s most historically, culturally and functionally significant buildings, many of which are not normally open to the public, will roll out the welcome mat during Doors Open Ottawa. For the first time, the Ottawa Jewish Archives will be one of them. The city’s largest and most anticipated architectural event is free to attend, offering unique experiences for people of all ages.

Canadian Tradition becomes an Ottawa Institution

The School Dance presents an eclectic performance at the National Arts Centre Saturday June 7 showcasing the students with special guest composer James Wright and Ottawa’s Cantiamo Girls Choir. For tickets or more information, call The School of Dance at 613-238-7838 or email to admin@ theschoolofdance.ca. Photo by D. Brian Campbell.

It’s been a lifetime of love and devotion for Merrilee Hodgins and her colleagues at The School of Dance in downtown Ottawa. “We started with three people and 75 students,” recalls Artistic Director Hodgins from her behind her cluttered but organized desk at the helm of the centre. “Today we’re a hub for creative expression, from dance to music and visual arts.” Founded in 1978 by Merrilee and Joyce Shietze, Celia Franca, a long-time friend and artistic colleague, joined in 1979 as Co-Artistic Director. Founder of the National Ballet of Canada and co-founder of the National Ballet School, Franca helped to establish The School’s unwavering standards of excellence and the stage was set for The School of Dance to grow into the world class arts education institution it is today.

Ballet Programme Director Mary Ross helps her students master their art.

It was Merrilee’s love for ballet that led her from childhood dance recitals to managing one of the most thriving and productive dance schools in the country. “I saw my first ballet when I was four and I was immediately hooked. I knew that would be my world.” With the support of her family, Merrilee moved from her Alberta home to follow her dream. She trained and performed in England, Denmark and Germany as well as United States and Canada. By 23, she was ready to stop living her life from a suitcase. When she discovered Ottawa in the early 1970s, she knew she was home. Settling in the nation’s capital led to the opportunity to open a school of dance with the support of some of her professional mentors. “I always loved to teach but I never liked math,” she said. “My father always told me that you can’t be a dumb dancer, you have to be skilled in communications at all levels. So with 24

perseverance and tremendous support I have learned how to run a successful school through experience.” With more than 35 years of success to help choreograph its future, The School of Dance is a vibrant testimony to the commitment and dedication of Merrilee as well as the three full time and 53 contract teachers, musicians, choreographers, artists and volunteers who keep the place on its toes seven days a week. Now housed in a classic former school at 200 Crichton Street in old Ottawa east, The School of Dance has more than 1,000 active members studying dance and physical expression at all levels from novice to advanced. The student population covers every ward in the City of Ottawa, plus 67 Ontario communities, as well as all other provinces and 14 countries. The audition-based, professional dance training programs in ballet and contemporary dance produce graduates who are working as teachers,

independent dancers and choreographers and/ or dancing with companies around the world, including Toronto, Montréal, Vancouver, Calgary, England, Holland, Sweden, Germany, and the United States. “We are truly a training institution,” points out Merrilee. “Our professional classes teach the language of dance. Students want knowledge and want to be able to do something with what they learn. You can’t duplicate the benefits of working with a master to help you release the artist within.”

Contemporary dance classes move through their motions under the supportive and watchful eye of guest choreographer Melanie Demers.

Young adults attend the school at the postsecondary level to pick up certified collegelevel accreditation in contemporary dance. Recognized in Ontario as a Private Career

College and Seminary of Learning, The School has 20 full-time students in contemporary dance and another 110 in ballet. “An important sub-unit of our arts education work is DanceONTour, a program which represents The School’s commitment to quality arts education for school children in Ottawa and Eastern Ontario. “Another important component of our physical culture is our Artists in Residence Program.

Meeting for Baseline rapid transit Staff

News - City staff area ready to present ideas for a future Transitway link along Baseline Road. A public meeting will be held on Monday, June 2, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the chamber in Ben Franklin Place, 101 Centrepointe Dr. During the meeting and a presentation at 7:30 p.m., residents will be able to get an overview of the Baseline rapid transit corridor study and view the city’s evaluation of design options for the route. Dedicated bus lanes along the outside of the road or the median are options. Announced as part of the city’s updated transportation master plan last year, the planned rapid-bus transit link along Baseline would connect a future light-rail station at Bayshore Station

Crosscourt challenge

to Baseline Station at Algonquin College with Prince of Wales Drive – a route of about 10 kilometres. The transportation master plan shows the corridor eventually connecting with Heron Station on the east side of the Rideau River. A study was already underway under the title “Baseline transit intensive corridor,” but the study switched gears to reflect the “rapid transit” designation given to Baseline Road in the transportation master plan. People who would like to provide feedback but are unable to attend the meeting can email senior project engineer, Jabbar Siddique, at jabbar.siddique@ottawa. ca. Another open house is planned to be held before the transit facility is finalized.

Daniel El-Chaar, a Grade 9 student at St. Francis Xavier High School, enjoys a recent game of pickleball. Boys in the school’s physical education classes were introduced to the sport earlier this year, thanks to a grant that allows teachers to provide a new sport or physical activity to students.

New approach could streamline city’s development process The zoning for a number of specific areas – namely areas designated as town centres, mixed-use centres, arterial main streets and traditional main streets – will be updated to match the development goals and building height limits outlined in the city’s updated Official Plan, which council adopted last fall. Most other areas are covered by community design plans or transit-oriented development plans with accompanying secondary plans, which enshrines them in the Official Plan, Hume said. The Official Plan update, billed as Building a Liveable Ottawa, was the big chance for residents to have their say about the future of development in their communities, Hume said. “We were told that once that debate is done – implement it and stick to the zoning you put in place,” Hume said. And that’s what the city is doing, he said. While there are a couple information sessions about the zoning review coming up, Hume said there won’t be a lot of opportunity for residents’ feedback to shape the outcomes at this stage. “They should have gotten involved in Building a Liveable Ottawa,” Hume said. “It all starts with the Official Plan. By the time it gets down to the implementation,

it’s almost too late.” But people are interested in the details of that implementation, Hume said, and city staff will share that information at three upcoming meetings: * June 17, 4 to 8 p.m. at Jean Pigott Hall in City Hall, 110 Laurier Ave. W. * June 18, 4 to 8 p.m. at the Atrium of Ben Franklin Place, 101 Centrepointe Dr., Nepean * June 19, 4 to 8 p.m. at Peter D. Clark Place, 255 Centrum Blvd., Orleans Feedback can be sent to zoningreview@ottawa.ca. Hume said the new approach of consistency between the Official Plan and zoning will be “almost impossible to back away from” once the city starts to implement it, because any deviations from that consistency will be used as justification for Ontario Municipal Board appeals. “As a result, you’d continue to erode the principles behind the plan,” he said. Pursuing development opportunities in Ottawa should become more streamlined as a result, Hume said. “Developers are going out to look for sites that just need a site plan,” he said, rather than the lengthy, costly and often antagonistic approach of seeking a rezoning. “There will be less community conflict,” Hume predicted. The only people who might be unpleasantly surprised are

landowners who won’t have as much negotiating power with developers who might look to purchase their land at a higher value, knowing that a rezoning could have boosted the site’s development potential. Now, it will be more of a “what you see (in the zoning) is what you get” approach, Hume said. The city is looking at 30 rezoning projects to achieve consistency with the Official Plan, including:

Organization hosts city-wide food security challenge New funding initiative aims to improve access to affordable food Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Non-profit organizations across the city are being challenged to help stomp out hunger for good. The Community Foundation of Ottawa has launched the new initiative, dubbed the Leaf Community Challenge, to tackle a number of issues. First up is food security.

“In our conversations and connections with the community, there were three overriding issues,” said Catherine Dubois, director of community engagement. “Those three were affordable housing, civic engagement and access to nutritious and affordable food.” The point of this new challenge, Dubois said, is to find a long-term solution. The chal-

lenge asks charitable organizations to submit food security proposals until Sept. 15. The foundation is offering funding to the winning proposal. Dubois said the funding amount will remain a secret until the official unveil on May 31 at the challenge launch, but it is substantial and could very well turn the issue around for good.

“There has been excellent work being done when it comes to food security and one of those things are the good food markets,” Dubois said. “It was based on all the good work that is being done that we felt that if the community were provided additional funding it would really help bring significant change.” Established in 1987, the foundation connects donors with causes. It has served as a resource for people who address issues and concerns and aims to make new opportunities available for communities in need. Currently managing assets in excess of $100-million, it has provided more than $70million in grants to the community since its inception. In the past the foundation has funded many small initiatives to help improve food security, engage citizens and work at making affordable housing a reality. Those amounts, said spokeswoman Iona Green, were small compared to the large funding announcement the foundation is set to make this weekend. That announcement will take place at one of the city’s Good Food Markets at the Nanny Goat Hill Community Garden, at the corner of Laurier Avenue West and Bronson Avenue at 11 a.m. According to the Community Foundation of Ottawa, currently more than 75,000 people in Ottawa worry they don’t have enough food to feed themselves or their families due to finances and living situations. Foundation president Marco Pagani said this challenge is all about creating access to food for everyone and the most important aspect of the foundation’s new proposal challenge. In the past three years, there

Good Food Markets, an initiative made possible through The Community Foundation of Ottawa has helped offer fresh produce at a reasonable price to low-income neighbourhoods. On May 31 the foundation will launch a city-wide challenge to non-profits to come up with a new plan to solve local issues, such as food security in Ottawa. has been a 12 per cent increase in food bank use in the city. The idea is for charitable organizations to propose a plan that could reduce this use, or eliminate it completely. Dubois said the foundation is looking forward to seeing what organizations propose. There will be a list of criteria organizations must meet to be considered, but Dubois said the foundation will not direct how any plan is implemented. “Certainly we have criteria, but we have confidence that our community knows what it will take to make a difference,” Dubois said. One of the conditions set out in the challenge is that the participating organizations work with communities and families who use the food bank and who are suffering from the inability to eat

healthy daily. “We want people who are directly affected to be involved. We want the voice of those affected to speak, residents in the neighbourhood. It is important to make it sustainable and we really believe that with a significant allocation of funds we can really make a difference for those communities.” The final selection from the top three proposals will be announced at a live, juried event in early October. The jury, Green said, will be made up of community leaders and knowledge experts on the issue. Once funding has been allocated towards a food security plan, Green said the foundation will hold similar challenges for other critical issues neighbourhoods face in this city.

Marathon participants running for a reason More than 30 charitable teams participate in this year’s Race Weekend Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Bobbie Driscoll didn’t realize that a passion for running was not one of the main reasons people participate in Ottawa Race Weekend until she went to pick up her own pennant six years ago. “Especially in the two-kilometre (race), because it’s a shorter distance, you see how many people have their own reasons to run,” said the Glebe resident. “It’s amazing when you see how many people are out participating.” For Driscoll, that reason is Parkinson’s -- her husband, John Tawn, was diagnosed with the disease 25 years ago, when information about the degenerative condition wasn’t as readily available. It was isolating, Driscoll said. Now, after participating in the PIPR (Partners investing in Parkinson’s Research) team, Driscoll and Tawn say they’ve been able not only to feel like they’re making a difference, but that they’re connected to a community of people who share their experience and their worries. The team has also given Driscoll and Tawn access to see the difference their efforts are making. All the money raised is used locally for research and the doctors involved in those projects participate in the team’s meetings. Driscoll and Tawn have been able to visit the labs where experiments are being carried out to discover better systems for diagnosing Parkinson’s disease, among other research. See FOR on page 37

Community - Hungry? Dying to know what a fool eats for lunch? Well now is your chance to swing by the Company of Fools rehearsal hall for a starving artist’s feast. The Company of Fools launched a new lunchtime special -- cheese and crackers with the biggest fool in the group, artistic director and actor Scott Florence. “An organization of our size it requires money to keep it going,” Florence said. “Funding from all levels of government is really not going to increase, especially with the demand of many small organizations seeking funding. We are going to need additional private funding and that comes from relationships and so, rather than start off that we want money, we thought lets invite people to lunch and tell them what we do, and in time, hopefully that will get us more funding and donations.“ The lunch time feast is a new way the theatre group is attempting to raise money. “I don’t wear suits, I dress like an old hippie, meeting with corporate suits is not something I can do,” Florence said. “We are called a Company of Fools -- we can’t impress people with fancy business speak and we want to find a way to meet fun people, have lunch and let them learn more about what we do.” Florence said the company is looking to build stronger relationships with its patrons. The plan is to host these lunches throughout the month of June, as the company gets ready for its summer production of As You Like It, starting July 3 and running to Aug. 16 in various parks across the area. Performances take place evenings at 7 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Pass-the-hat donations remain one of the main ways the company raises money. Florence said he hopes this new lunch time opportunity will offer people a chance to learn more about the show as well as create opportunities to discuss new ideas of how the company can expand in the future. “There could be ways and means for us to do more shows,” he said. “Who knows, maybe we will meet some people who like what we do and want us to perform in a bar as something different. We are open to collaboration. We are a Company of Fools and we collaborate all the time as artists. Ideas change and morph all the time as we work and I want to bring that relationship with potential donors.” So far, the director said two individuals have already called up

interested in the idea and although the lunches are mainly scheduled to take place this month, Florence said if people are interested, he will make himself available throughout the summer. “I have to eat lunch every day, I will happily do it with people,” he said. “We want people to learn what it takes to put on theatrical production and I will keep doing it if there is a demand.” Aside from eating lunch, fans are invited to a sneak peek party on June 13 to watch a rehearsal of this year’s production as well as meet and mingle with the cast and crew. “We are really excited about the show this summer, and we are so blessed with the support that we have received from Ottawa throughout the years,” Florence said. “I am excited that this year we have the chance to also meet some of our audience members.” For more information about the theatre company, book a lunch or to donate to the organization visit fools.ca.

Grilled prosciuttostrawberry bundles a sweet, salty app Lifestyle - Sweet, savoury, tangy and salty, these delicious bundles are grilled to perfection. This simple yet sophisticated seasonal appetizer will surprise and delight your guests. Preparation time: 15 minutes. Grilling time: six to eight minutes. Makes 16 pieces. Ingredients

• 8 slices prosciutto • 80 g goat cheese or cream cheese • 16 small strawberries, hulled or eight large strawberries, hulled and halved • Freshly ground black pepper Preparation

Slice each strip of prosciutto in half lengthwise and separate. Place 2 ml (1/2 tsp) of goat cheese about

2.5 cm (1 inch) from end of the strip, place a strawberry on top, then 2 ml (1/2 tsp) of goat cheese beside the strawberry. Firmly roll the prosciutto around the cheese and strawberry until it’s securely enclosed. Repeat this with the remaining ingredients. Top with pepper to taste, cover and refrigerate for up to eight hours. Place the bundles on a greased grill over medium-high heat (200 C/400 F) and cook until slightly grilled -- about six to eight minutes, turning frequently to avoid burning. Arrange on a platter and serve immediately. Tip: These bundles are delicious as a salad topper. Serve on a bed of fresh arugula with a drizzle of balsamic dressing.

For a lark or a loved one, there are endless reasons to race Continued from page 31

It’s also motivating for Tawn, who trains by walking in the lead-up to the race to get his time down from his current personal best of 28 minutes. This year, he’s hoping for 25 minutes and he has been “carbo-loading� to make sure it happens, he said with a laugh. PIPR is one of the top fundraising teams that participate in Ottawa Race Weekend. The 100-member team is well on its way towards a 10year goal of $1 million raised, with $740,000 to date in eight years, including $81,000 this year. But there are more than 30 charitable teams participating in various runs this year and race weekend organizers anticipate those teams will gar-

ner more than $700,000 in total donations this year alone. Part of that money is raised through “guaranteed� race entries. Organizers reserve four per cent of the available slots in all races for charities, including the YMCA-YWCA and MS Society, and a portion of the higher fee for those guaranteed spots goes directly to the charities. The Lung Association fields a smaller but mighty team whose members say the race itself makes them feel very connected to the cause. The team has more than doubled in size in its three years in existence and this year, 30 participants have raised almost $2,700. Glenn Carroll of Westboro had participated in race weekend in the past but wasn’t motivated to run again three

years ago. That’s when he found out about the Lung Association team. “It changed things,â€? he said. “I realized this is more than just a race – it’s a celebration.â€? Carroll said the 10-kilometre race he participates in gives him lots of time to think about things – like how he has the ability to run, while people who have lung disease often don’t. Ashley Frappier of OrlĂŠans participated in half marathons in the past, but she too says the races have a different meaning to her after finding out her dad will need a double lung transplant as a result of asbestos-induced pulmonary fibrosis. “I’m running for my dad,â€? Frappier said. “It really makes you appreciate that you can.â€?

FOR GREAT CANADIAN LEMONADE STANDEMONIUM FUNDRAISING FOR CANCER RESEARCH & CANCER COACHING Brielle Demuth already knows exactly what she wants to be when she grows up. In fact, she’s known it for a while now. She is determined to one day be a researcher – spending her days searching for the cure for cancer.

annual Great Canadian Lemonade Standemonium presented by Palladium Insurance. Last year, more than 200 kids took part and helped to raise more than $53,000.

At the tender age of 13, Brielle knows all too well the realities of the disease. When she was just 10 years old, her mom was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer.

This year, the Great Canadian Lemonade Standemonium will take place on Saturday, June 21st – and funds raised will support the new Cancer Coaching health service and cancer research.

“When my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer I didn’t really know what it was all about,” she explains. “She (my mom) is my best friend, and it was really hard for me because I had to be away from her – she was at the hospital a lot.”

Sylvie Forget-Swim and her entire family, and fellow colleagues at Palladium Insurance have adopted the Lemonade Stand campaign this year. They have been hard at work recruiting businesses, schools and neighbourhoods to get involved.

After being diagnosed, Brielle’s mom was referred to surgical oncologist Dr. Angel Arnaout – and within a month she began chemotherapy, underwent surgery to remove the lymph nodes and had follow-up radiation treatments.

“This is such an amazing way to get kids involved in giving back,” Sylvie explains. “We have had a number of family, friends and business associates who have been touched by cancer – this is our way to rally the community and help them during a difficult time.”

Brielle kept a positive outlook through the entire experience and wanted to support her mom. She believes that this journey has taught her to never give up. Brielle is determined to give back to the community that helped to save her mom – and she is volunteering to take part in the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation’s second

Brielle is also helping to recruit participants – encouraging all local kids to get involved and register their stands too. “You are never too young to volunteer and help – and hosting a lemonade stand is fun and something you can do with your friends!”

Families of multiples gearing up for celebratory play date Event will mark National Multiple Births Awareness Day erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News – Triceton McSheffrey bounds out of school and races over to his one-year-old twin brother and sister with a grin. The seven-year-old tickles his little sister’s armpits. “Oh, there’s the smile,” he coos, before planting a wet kiss on her cheek. Two of Triceton’s schoolmates walk over, peppering him with questions about little Brie and Jace McSheffrey Premdas. “Is this the one that likes chewing on her feet?” one little girls asks. “They’re wearing cute little shoes,” another girl pipes up. Amy McSheffrey smiles at the familiar stream of comments. The south Ottawa resident has been approached countless times in the grocery store and on the street by adults and children curious about her twin babies. Her stroller is swarmed by people every morning when she drops her oldest son at school. Other parents of multiples – twins, triplets and quadruplets – understand this experience, said McSheffrey, a member of the Multiple Birth Families Association of Ottawa and Gatineau. The non-profit volunteerrun organization, which was established in 1961, provides support services and social activities, ranging from prenatal education classes to playgroups and outings and moms’ and dads’ nights out, for 350 member families with multiples, who live as far away as Montreal and Kingston. McSheffrey, who has regularly attended the association’s playgroups, is planning to take her children to a celebration for families of multiples that will be hosted

by the group on June 1 at Brewer Park. The event will mark National Multiple Births Awareness Day on May 28, which coincides with the birth of the Dionne quintuplets – the first identical set of quintuplets to survive beyond infancy – on May 28, 1934. “It’s great to talk to other moms who are dealing with the exact same things at the exact same time,” said McSheffrey. .“We have a different perspective on things.” Life with multiples is a juggling act – lugging two car seats into a store, pushing a double stroller, as well as buying two of almost everything, from potties to high chairs. “Who needs to go to the gym?” McSheffrey quipped. “When you have to get three kids ready and out of the house, you have to have everything planned out.” As the parents of sevenyear-old twins, Karina and Andrew, and nine-year-old Edward, Olga Kutikov can relate. The Craig Henry resident and her husband Dmitry joined the association two months after their twins were born. “It was a lifesaver,” said Olga, president of the association, which is one of the largest Canadian chapters of Multiple Births Canada. “To me, when we found out that we were having twins – that was the biggest thing – how were we going to handle it, because there are only two of us and there were going to be three of them.” While most association members have twins, 17 families have triplets, two have quadruplets and about three families each have two sets of twins. “We realized when we joined we were not alone,” Olga said.

“It kind of gives you this relief that there are other people who are going exactly through the same stages as you are and you get ideas of how to deal with it, how to survive.” The biggest draw for members is the twice-yearly sale the group hosts, allowing members to sell used equipment, clothes and toys. Though the event is open to the public, members get first crack at purchasing items from others in the group. Though her twins are older now, Olga continues to attend the group’s moms’ night out events and her husband enjoys the dads’ nights out. “You go there, meet other mothers and you ask your questions,” Olga said. “And then I would come home and I would say, ‘Ok, I’ve got some ideas. Let’s try this.” The group also welcomes soon-to-be parents of multiples. One expectant mom was relieved the others at the moms’ night out event didn’t dole out advice as her friends with single babies had a habit of doing. “She said, ‘None of you said, you need, you should. All of you said, I tried this and it worked for me. None of you said that I have to do something,’” Olga explained. “When she said that, I said, ‘That’s exactly right. That’s what we’re there for. We’re here to help you.’” Families of multiples are welcome to attend the association’s gathering on June 1, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Brewer Park, located at 100 Brewer Way. There will be special guests, balloons and a cakecutting ceremony, and popcorn and drinks will be available for purchase.

es hosted at the Arts Court on Dalhousie, since 2012. ModLab is a regular gathering spot for artists, technicians, engineers, coders and curious members of the public. It is hosted by Artengine, a company advocating the success of local technicians, every Wednesday evening from 7 to 10 p.m. The evenings offer a chance for people to use expensive equipment like the Zing30 Laser, 3D printers, soldering irons, projectors and wiring connectors that most may not otherwise have access to. Britta Evans-Fenton, 24, the technical co-ordinator of Artengine says hacker spaces are a place to share and take in ideas. Ottawa now offers several of these makerspaces, each of them appealing to a different demographic with its region. The downtown atmosphere welcomes an older crowd of tech-savvy artists as where the Centrepoint branch of the Ottawa Public Library seeks to inspire more familyfriendly projects. “It’s kind of nerdy from the general public point of view,” said Doug, an engineer and avid user of the space. “But it’s a great opportunity to get your geek on.” ModLab is like an open house. It’s free to the public of all ages in a space where people can seek or offer help with projects, share materials, and show-and-tell their venture developments. Richard Sloan, an electrical engineer, brought in a working prototype application for mobile devices. He is developing a coding program

specific to Android products for a lighting system. Sloan says the user-friendly product, once finished, will be a home lighting system able to control light colour, shade and sensitivity from the user’s phone with a simple swipe. What sets it apart from other companies developing similar products will be the input of a motion sensor and personalized timers, he said. As conversations spark about mechanical problems and specialized features, regular members made sure to translate their technical discussions for those who were new to the concepts.

“This is the one place where your brain can run free.” Thomas Allanson

Elgin (Skye) MacLaren is a first time attendee looking to learn how to use Arduino, a small open-faced circuit board used to program robotic devices. “I’ve got some really good leads on information,” she said. “I’m going to come back once I have some of the toys to play with and have (other members) help me try to figure out how to put things together.” MacLaren went home holding a tiny plastic tiger, a sample from the 3D printer demonstration she observed. Many of the people

attending are interested in expanding their businesses. Whyte is designing multiple stamps that will eventually layer and act as a portable printing press, which he hopes will save the environment from wasteful business cards. In the meantime, Whyte makes his business cards for the paper airplane company he runs from scraps of old projects Thomas Allanson, a 3D designer put his skills to use for his wife’s jewellery design business, making online models for potential patrons to browse through. “This is the one place where your brain can run free,” said Allanson. Artengine is a company comprised of a collection of artists whom organize various events in the Ottawa community, like Mini-Maker Faires and workshop nights, and manage grant funding. Artengine is located in the Arts Court on 2 Daly Ave., a space that is home to 27 art organizations. Ottawa Art Gallery in the Arts Court is expected to have a team together to begin planning for its $34-million transformation, expansion and re-development, in June 2014. The anticipated new space will not have an effect on any of the program arrangements until the construction is scheduled to commence, two years from now, during which time ModLab will temporarily relocate. “The impact, as we foresee it, will be minimal,” said Remco Volmer, Artengine program manager.

Living the dream An Air Canada Boeing 787 Dreamliner spent the better part of the afternoon of May 21 performing ‘touch and go’ landings at Ottawa International Airport. The state-of-the-art airliner, which spent years in development, is currently being delivered to airlines, including Air Canada. The plane incorporates weight-saving carbon fiber for fuel savings, while the interior will be more comfortable due to higher allowable humidity and less pressurization.

Realizing a desperate wish to wear a slip

M

y sister Audrey said you had to be a certain age before you were old enough to wear a slip. I could never understand the reasoning behind that rule. Surely, if you could see your underpinnings through your dress, you needed a slip. And I told her so too. The winter clothes had been packed away, and the summer wear was out. “Well,” Audrey explained, “children your age don’t wear sheer dresses, and so you don’t need a slip.” I mentally pictured my scant summer wardrobe. The only dresses I owned were two Dan River Cottons I wore to church or for very special occasions. Whereas Audrey, had at least three dresses, one of a lacy fabric that had come in the hand-medown box from Aunt Lizzie, and one Mother had made from an organza piece of material that was on sale at Walker’s Store in Renfrew. Another dress, which she often wore to the Northcote School was a light material, and if she stood in a doorway, or the sun caught it just the right way, without a slip you would certainly see her underpinnings. She definitely needed a slip for all three of them. But how I longed for a slip. Now, part of it, I knew, was because there was a saying back in those days,

MARY COOK Memories that if a girl’s slip was showing, you quietly went up to her and said, “It’s snowing down south,” and she immediately went and did something about her slip peeking beneath her hemline. I was very impressed when I heard someone say that to another girl in the schoolyard. That, to me was a sure sign of growing up. How I longed for a slip. The best thing to do was to talk it over with Mother. She said Audrey was right, that you needed a slip if you were wearing something that could show your underpinnings... but she also said it had nothing to do with how old you were. That was wonderful news to me. And I set out trying to make a bargain with Mother. If I did extra chores on Saturday, washed my underwear out every night without being asked, and promised to try to have only pleasant thoughts when it came to bad Marguirite, would Mother consider letting me have a slip? The last promise

I knew, would be the hardest to keep. Mother said to let her think about it. That meant no more discussion on the subject until she brought it up. Like so many times when I longed for something that was out of my reach, I couldn’t get owning a slip out of my mind. Like the little wood pencil box my friend Joyce had with a green palm tree painted on the outside, and a lid that slid open by using your thumbnail, and it swivelled to show a place for pencils, and even a little dent for your art eraser. Or the short white stockings Marguirite wore to school with a tiny row of lace around the cuffs. Wanting the pencil box or the white stockings would forever remain a dream. But owning my first slip, I thought, wasn’t being that unreasonable. And then one morning I came down from our bedroom and Mother was, as usual, standing at the Findlay Oval stirring the porridge in the big white pot. She snapped the ladle against the side of the pot and put it on a saucer on the reservoir, and told me to go to her bedroom and bring out what was there. The bed was neatly made with the log cabin quilt pulled up over the pillows (bedspreads were unheard of in our house), and there was something folded in the centre of

the bed. I picked it up, and it was a slip. A real slip! I tore to the kitchen like someone possessed and asked Mother if it was for me. “Well, it’s too short for Audrey, and I doubt your brothers would be wanting to wear it,” Mother said. I was already dressed for school, but there was no way another day was going to pass without my wearing a slip. I wasn’t in a dress, but had on a cotton skirt made out of one of Uncle Jack’s dress shirts, and a blouse that once belonged to Audrey. I tore upstairs and in jig time came down with the slip on next to my bare skin and underpants, and with the blouse and skirt back on. Mother had made it at night, when we children were in bed, and the steady clack-clack of the old Singer sewing machine could be heard downstairs almost every night, but I never knew what creation Mother was working on. And here, last night, she had sewn me my first slip. It was made of white broadcloth, a luxury to be sure. It was a few inches shorter than my skirt, and had wide straps, not like Audrey’s slip which had little slides you could move up and down to shorten or length it. But I was so thrilled, I could hardly wait to get to the Northcote Side Road where my

friend Velma would be waiting for me to walk to school, and tell her what I had on under my skirt. I also told Joyce, and we went behind the outhouse at recess so that I could lift my skirt and show them my new slip. I would love to have let the whole school know – the girls at least, but of course I wouldn’t dare be that forward. No, I just had to live with keeping it to myself and my two best friends. Of course, I couldn’t wear it under my slacks, or shorts, and as it got warmer, it stuck to my skin, so I started only wearing it to church. It didn’t take long for the novelty of owning a slip to wear off. And it stuck to my dress or my skirt. To be honest it became quite a nuisance. And besides, since Mother had made it so much shorter than my skirts or dresses, not one soul sidled up to me and said “Mary, it’s snowing down south.” So, if no one knew I was even wearing as slip, what was the point of having one on?

Run, leap, throw!

Kendall Saravanamuttoo from the Glebe Collegiate Institute runs during the Midget Girls 3,000 metre event at the NCSSAA Track meet at the Terry Fox Athletic Facility on May 21. Saravanamuttoo finished third in the race, with a time of 11 minutes, thirty-two seconds and forty-four milliseconds. The 3,000 metre saw a new Ottawa record made by Shona McCulloch from Longfields-Davidson Heights Secondary School with a time of ten minutes, eight seconds and fifty milliseconds.

Start your spring training routine off on the right foot day. There is a large variety of orthotic types to help with the many different foot conditions that they see. Also, you shouldn’t have to wait until the problem develops fully before addressing the situation. Custom orthotics can be made for running shoes, sandals – or even roller blades or skates!

Spring is here – finally. It’s time for the exciting transition back to outdoor exercise after a winter of stuffy indoor workouts, or lack of exercise all together. Although many of you are eager to lace up your shoes and hit the pavement in the fresh outdoor air, you must first ensure you have the right equipment and that you are exercising in moderation. Overtraining can lead to repetitive strain injuries which occur when exercise intensity, frequency or duration is excessive, and the exerciser doesn’t allow sufficient recovery in between workouts. Chronic insufficient recovery can actually do the body harm and set back training goals. In other words, overtraining can be counterproductive. Overtraining can also quickly

lead to the development of injuries such as plantar fasciitis, shin splints, metatarsal stress fractures, Achilles tendinitis and many more painful problems. The trick to proper spring training is to start off slow, and build to your goal, safely and efficiently using proper support. These days more and more people are using custom orthotics and proper running shoes to correct biomechanical inefficiencies, which can keep them healthy during spring training. This is where the experts at BioPedhttp:// bioped.com in Ottawa can help. BioPed Pedorthists employ a highly disciplined approach around the assessment, fabrication, fitting and adjustment of many varieties of custom orthoticshttp://bioped.com/ about/right_process.asp every

They also carry great looking footwear including; athletic, comfort, sandals, and orthopedic extra depth shoes – all of which can be sized to fit most foot types. Patients are never left having to find a pair of shoes on their own at BioPed. Their experienced staff knows that can often result in improper selection. The main contributor to the very problem they are attempting to correct! If you’re ready to start spring train safely, or just enjoy a slow, leisurely spring stroll in ultimate comfort, it’s time to visit BioPed today.http://bioped.com/ locations/locations.asp?id=89 BioPed has 4 clinics in Ottawa – located in Barrhaven, Kanata, Orleans or at the Westgate shopping centre.

Aries, your energy is contagious this week, and others flock to you as if you have a magnetic pull. Enjoy the attention, but don’t forget to seek some solitude as well. Take precautions as you prepare for an important project, Taurus. If you rush through things, you are bound to make mistakes that could negatively impact your career. Everything you touch turns to gold this week, Gemini. You could set many things into motion with your clever ideas and infectious charisma. Stay grounded. An unexpected encounter stirs up some old feelings, Cancer. Enjoy your trip down Memory Lane and take advantage of this opportunity to reconnect with an old friend. Leo, tread lightly this week when working on an important project. Expect scrutiny in all you do and plan accordingly. Keep working hard, and your efforts will be noticed. Expect the unexpected this week, Virgo. Things might seem as if they are going according to plan, but a few complications may arise so be prepared.

A great idea has sidetracked you for some time now, Libra. But now it’s time to get back into your normal routine and focus on the tasks at hand. Scorpio, embrace unique ideas concerning your future this week. Consider all possibilities no matter how out of the ordinary they may seem. Practical concerns could temporarily stall plans that are a bit fantastical, Sagittarius. But don’t fret, you will have an opportunity to put some plans in motion soon enough. You may experience a conflict with others at work this week, Capricorn. It is best to roll with the punches instead of causing a stir. Allow the situation to unfold. Aquarius, a hectic few weeks at work have proven distracting. It might seem overwhelming right now, but things will settle down in a matter of days. Pisces, you may want to be invisible in the crowd this week, but that scenario simply isn’t in the cards. Grin and bear the attention

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
