News - In what was expected to be a three-way race in Ottawa West-Nepean, Liberal Bob Chiarelli eased to victory on election night, claiming more than 45 per cent of the vote. When Chiarelli strolled into his election night celebrations at a Merivale Road sports bar, he was greeted with cheers of “another four years” by the raucous crowd. He took on Progressive Conservative and former Ottawa Citizen columnist Randall Denley for the first time in the 2011 general election, with Chiarelli narrowly hanging onto his seat.

Bob Chiarelli, the incumbent Liberal for Ottawa West-Nepean was returned to Queen’s Park on June 12 with 45 per cent of the vote. Chiarelli has represented the riding since a by-election in March 2010.

News - When the dust had settled on June 12, voters in Ottawa Centre had chosen the same thing as much of the rest of Ontario – an even stronger

mandate for the Liberals. Incumbent Yasir Naqvi sailed into a third term with an even more formidable result than in 2011, taking 51.7 per cent of the vote, up from 46.8 per cent. “I think it speaks volumes to the kinds of things team Ottawa

has been able to do,” Naqvi said. “We often talk about how we, all the Liberal MPPs in Ottawa work closely together ... In this campaign we made sure we continued to talk about the needs and priorities of Ottawa as a group.” Naqvi said his party’s strong stance in support of important local infrastructure, including

the Ottawa River Action cleanup plan and stage two of the city’s light-rail project helped the Liberals keep their territory in Ottawa. Passing a budget that includes funding for Ottawa’s LRT extensions is job number one when he returns to Queen’s Park, Naqvi said. Your Personalized Health Solution

Funding light rail, river cleanup major priorities

News - Mayor Jim Watson wasn’t expecting a majority government to be elected in the June 12 provincial election, but he said the Liberal win bodes well for the city’s major projects. “I think it’s a strong vote of encouragement and support for the City of Ottawa’s major priorities: cleaning up the Ottawa River and continuing on with our light-rail plans,” Watson said. The mayor, a former Liberal provincial cabinet minister, said he is confident the government will make good on their promises to fund those projects. “They understand cities and I’m obviously relieved to have a willing partner to continue cleaning up the Ottawa River and expanding light rail to the east, to the west and to the south.” The mayor wasn’t on board with every local Liberal proposal. He rejected an idea from re-elected Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi to include citizen members on the city committee that makes land-use planning decisions. “To me, that’s not a workable solution,” Watson said. “At the end of the day, council has to be accountable and responsible for land-use planning decisions. It becomes a pretty slippery slope as to who you put on these boards ... You could always be accused that you’re putting pro-development or anti-development people (on the committee).” Watson said the current planning process works “relatively well,” although there are community frustrations from time to time. At least voters can hold municipal politicians to account for their decisions by refusing to re-elect them, Watson said,

which wouldn’t be the case with citizen members. The city did add citizen members to several bodies such as the transit commission and health board in this term of council, but Watson said those roles have less opportunity for bias. The Liberals haven’t been keen on another local priority: uploading the cost of maintaining highway 174 to the province. Watson said he’s like to shift that cost off the backs of Ottawa taxpayers, but it’s a lower priority than continuing the upload of social security and court costs to the province. “My position is until that upload agreement ends in 2018 and the upload is finished, then we should start negotiating with the province for other uploads and highway 174 would be one of those locally. The mayor said the Progressive Conservatives and leader Tim Hudak made a misstep by expressing reluctance to fund the city’s light-rail plans, at least right away, Watson said. “I think Mr. Hudak misjudged the mood, not only in Ottawa but around the province, when it came to the 100,000 job cuts,” Watson said. Ottawa has seen significant job cuts from the federal public service. “That resonated, certainly,” he said. The rural-urban political divide that was more pronounced in other regions during this election was diminished in Ottawa, Watson said. While PCs Jack MacLaren and Lisa MacLeod kept their ridings of Carleton-Mississippi Mills and NepeanCarleton, Northumberland-Quinte West turfed a PC MPP in favour of Liberal Lou Rinaldi. “I don’t think it’s as big a divide as perhaps it was in the last election (when) the Liberals were pretty much shut out of rural Ontario,” Watson said.

Public updated on Scott-Albert bus diversion changes Under new plan, bus volume to be reduced by 14 per cent at peak times steph.willems@metroland.com

Community – There will be fewer diverted buses running along Scott and Albert streets under a new plan floated by the city and the builder of its light rail line. The city and Rideau Transit Group briefed community partners on the changes on June 11, ahead of a public meeting held on June 16. By implementing the changes, it is estimated that bus volume will be reduced by 14 per cent, meaning 267 fewer buses a day. The city and the light rail contractor sought ways to alleviate the bus volume following a heated public meeting last December. During that meeting, the construction (and diversion) schedule for the area between Tunney’s Pasture and Lebreton Station was laid out, amid criticism that planners had failed to undertake proper community consultation while developing their plan. The reductions in volume will take place at peak periods. The updated June 11 plan doesn’t change the key dates – the two-phase shutdown of the Transitway and detours will still begin in fall 2015 (between Merton and Empress streets) and June 2016 (between Tunney’s Pasture and Merton). However, new design features have now been added, including flexposts to improve separation for the bike lane on the south side of Scott Street, while the multi-use pathway on the north side will be widened and resurfaced. The sidewalk between City Centre Avenue and Empress will be widened to two metres. A temporary multi-use pathway to connect residents to the Bayview O-Train station and nearby path network will also be built, with the

route running behind the Tom Brown Arena. Dominique Quesnel, project manager for the transit group, said little can be done about the Albert Street bridge, which features narrow sidewalks. While the bridge “is what it is,” Quesnel said new pathways “allow users of both sides of Scott Street to access Bayview Station.” In response to a resident’s question, Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs said the temporary pathway behind Tom Brown Arena would be maintained during the winter. It will also eliminate the temptation for residents to climb down (or up) the slope behind the arena in order to get to the bridge. Currently, the slope bears the signs of these shortcuts, with erosion and gouged earth clear for all to see. A pedestrian barrier will be installed near the temporary Bayview Transitway stops located on Albert Street, while pedestrian crosswalks along the stretch will be repainted with a ladder-type treatment for increased visibility. The installations of three signalized intersections, including one at City Centre Avenue, will improve pedestrian flow between the north and south sides of the corridor. The other signals will be at Smirle Avenue and Merton Street. Transit group traffic expert Don Stephens said vehicle speeds in the affected area would be monitored, and likely tempered, by a real-time speed display, though there are no plans for a red light camera. In response to a question concerning pedestrian safety at crosswalks, Stephens said the new crosswalks would be “designed in accordance with new city standards,” meaning there will be audible signals for the visually impaired.

Benzene, fine particulate matter and total particulate matter each exceed daily criteria on a few days out of the total time span of the project. According to existing data, road construction is expected to create the bulk of these

emissions, rather than vehicle traffic. Richard Holder of the city’s rail implementation office said the modelling took into account background particulate that can expected over the course of a year, such as smog and other pollutants that occasionally drift into Ottawa’s airspace. A human health assessment report, crafted by Ottawa Public Health, is expected to be released to the public in July. According to Hobbs, the health study was initiated following resident’s concerns expressed at previous meetings.

Hintonburg Happening celebrates culture, arts, film history Film screening to recreate first showing of a movie in Canada back in 1896 Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

Arts - A recreation of the first screening of a motion picture in Canada will be just one of the many events taking place during the inaugural Hintonburg Happening. A week-long celebration of the arts and culture scene in Hintonburg and Wellington West, the Happening runs June 21-29 with a long list of ongoing events throughout the community. One of the scheduled events commemorates a significant historical occurrence that took place in Ot-

a bang. The launch party takes place in Somerset Square starting at 1 p.m. on June 21. Spadina Avenue will be closed between Somerset Street and Wellington Street for the duration of the launch, with a tent set up for interactive arts and crafts and another for children. The square itself will be fenced

the two-minute-long 1896 film. Organizers of the Happening hope the event fosters a sense of community amongst residents while shining a light on what the area has to offer. “The idea was to bring the community together and showcase (the neighbourhood) to people who don’t normally frequent the area,” said Summer Baird, the event launch organizer. Artists and businesses volunteered to involve themselves in the event, which itself is volunteer-driven. The Happening’s kick-off event promises to get the week going with

tawa’s west end. On July 21, 1896, what is now Fisher Park was the site of the first screening of a motion picture in Canada. Renowned inventor Thomas Edison chose the location, which was then called West End Park, to demonstrate his new invention, the Vitascope. On June 22, local artist and history buff Andrew King and sponsor Tamarack Homes will present a screening of that film, titled The Kiss, in the same locale and with the same magic show that preceded that first screening. A full-length feature will follow

off and licensed for food and drink sales, with a number of attractions located on site for public enjoyment. Organizers are still looking for volunteers who would like to contribute their time to the diverse event. A full list of events detailing places and times is available at hintonburghappening.ca.

The city is considering allowing developers to build taller structures to free up space to make small parkettes in Centretown. accessible parkette.

News - A proposed city policy that emerged from a push to get more green spaces in Centretown will achieve nothing of the sort, according to both developers and residents. The city is proposing a different version of an idea called “small moments,” something originally suggested by an unlikely coalition of the Centretown Citizens Community Association and a group of developers when the Centretown Community Design Plan was in development in 2012. The developer-community coalition suggested the vision of a greater number of small green spaces to be gained by allowing developers slightly more lenient zoning as an alternative to the proposal the city adopted: a “landmark tall buildings” policy that will result in fewer, taller buildings with larger parks or squares. But city staff also saw the merit in studying something like small moments, and with direction from the Ontario Municipal Board, which will hear an appeal of the community design plan this fall, that small moments study is underway. In the city’s proposed version of the small moments policy, developers could take some of the density allowed on their lot and move it around, creating a taller builder with a small open space for a park or sitting area at the ground level. But the proposal offers no incentive for developers to actually do that, said Russel Kronick, who owns a property at 267 O’Connor St. he hopes to redevelop. Although the city is currently processing an application for a tall landmark building for his property, Kronick is one of the people who appealed the CDP because he would have preferred to see a “small moments” strategy instead. But the city’s new suggestion doesn’t come close to what he was hoping for, Kronick said, calling the proposal “a tribute to mediocrity.” The city needs to provide a financial incentive by allowing developers to apply for increased density or devel-

opment capacity on their sites in exchange for a small moment, Kronick said. As it stands, the city would be giving developers a opportunity to pay more to build a parkette, but over no financial incentive in return. “Why would any developer even think of doing a small moment?” Kronick said. “Good luck.” Dan Mullaly, a Centretown resident, agreed. He puzzled over how the city would actually expect to see any parkettes built. “You’re expecting developers to absorb greater costs because you’re expecting him to get a return on it,” he said. “Where is the incentive?” City planning manager John Smit explained that the policy isn’t meant to be an incentive – it’s offering a choice for developers. He said developers often prefer to build a taller building that’s slimmer and more attractive, which can pro-

Council axes development discounts near transit Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News Developers shouldn’t get discounts on development charges if they build close to a transit line, city council decided on June 10. College Coun. Rick Chiarelli instigated to move to reverse the planned 50 per cent discount on the part of the development charge dedicated to roads for developments near the light-rail line, O-Train and Transitway. Development charges are fees the city charges to cover the cost of installing infrastructure such as sewer pipes

and roads needed to service the new homes or buildings. The province requires municipalities to update their bylaws every five years and increasing the charge is intended to cover a greater proportion of the costs associated with building new infrastructure. “When a property owner suddenly has a transit station located near their property, they have a huge windfall,” Chiarelli said, adding that the value increase is enough of a development incentive. Other councillors, including transit commission chairwoman Diane Deans, jumped on board with Chiarelli’s idea.

“The incentive we’re providing is the $2.1 billion LRT line,” she said. “That has got to be better than any 6/49 lottery going.” The last-minute change to the updated development charge bylaw caught some developers – who are already miffed by the changes – off guard, said John Herbert, president of the Greater Ottawa Home Builders Association. “(Some of our members) were very, very surprised and some of them were hurt very badly,” Herbert said. Council did agree to adopt the new development charge bylaw, with a bevy of alterations relating to the cost of an-

Class Environmental Assessment Cambrian Road Widening

ticipated infrastructure projects around the city. The increased fees would represent between three and seven per cent of the cost of a new house, up from 2.5 and six per cent, depending on the type of home and whether it’s located in an urban, suburban or rural area. That will tack about $8,000 onto the price of a new, singlefamily home in the suburbs, Herbert said. “It’s going to take a big hit on housing affordability in Ottawa,” Herbert said. He said his group will appeal the bylaw to the Ontario Municipal Board. The Greater Ottawa Home Builders Association warned the increased charge will not only boost the cost of new homes – it will have a ripple

effect on the local economy. He suggested that “social, financial and economic” fallout would be the result of the increased charge, including potential job losses in the construction sector as the industry slows down to meet less demand. Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson was the lone vote against the new development charges bylaw. He echoed Herbert’s concerns that the increase could have a cooling effect on the real estate market if buyers reject more expensive homes. “It’s a bit of a property tax grab. Instead of increasing taxes you’re putting the taxes on someone who builds a new home,” Thompson said. “It’s just not right.” Weeks earlier, at a brief-

ing to explain the new bylaw, planning committee chairman Coun. Peter Hume argued the exact opposite, saying builders and homebuyers should pay the costs of the infrastructure growth associated with their homes – not the rest of the taxpayers in Ottawa. “Quite frankly, I don’t think it’s fair to existing taxpayers,” Hume said. Hume said one major change to development-charge projects is the way the city makes up for giving out exemptions to developers. Now, instead of scrambling to find the money in the city’s coffers when the infrastructure project must get built, the city will have to approve taxpayer money to make up the difference when it offers a development charge exemption.

Best self-help advice ever: be selfish and ditch your goals

just finished reading the most fantastic self-help book ever. Written by cartoonist, Scott Adams, How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big: Kind of the Story of My Life, is a reminder that even those of us with a penchant for cheese and coffee can stay slim, make decent money and have happy lives. And he suggests tossing the idea of goal-setting out the window. Tough to believe, huh? But Adams, the wealthy creator of the famous Dilbert comic strip, lays out a clear and simple formula for getting what you want out of life. In a twist, it starts with being selfish. How can that be? Adams says the most important thing you can do for yourself and the world around you is to carve out time to exercise and eat well every day, before your work, ahead of your marriage, at the

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse expense of your family. It’s from a healthy body that we get healthy minds, and create the energy to make positive contributions to the world. It may not sound that profound. But when you see how only a humorist like Adams can lay things out, you may change your mind. Running, for example, is not his thing. “Long-distance runners are people who are born with a certain genetic gift that allows them to feel good when running,” he writes. “...Most normal adults, including me, find running to be a little more than

the most cost-effective way to be bored and uncomfortable.” The book is littered with gems like that. Exercise, Adams argues, must be something you want to do every day to stay active: gardening, playing basketball with the kids or walking to carry out errands. If it takes willpower to do it, he notes, you will only ever find exercise frustrating and you’ll find any excuse not to do it. Of course we all know people who exercise and maybe don’t seem that much more satisfied with life than we are. So how does Adams

make the connection between exercise, diet and that type of success and happiness that he’s garnered as a world-famous cartoonist? With the energy of exercise and good diet behind us, Adams suggests we are generally more optimistic, something we can improve with positive daily affirmations, meditation or prayer. By focusing on more of the things we want, Adams believes we can actually alter the universe. He has a few crackpot ideas about why this may be, but my takeaway is that, ultimately, if we’re focusing on what we want in a positive way, we’re more likely to perceive even potential failures as opportunities. And that is really the crux of his argument. Of course, all this only works if we get stop setting goals. “Goals are for losers,” says Adams explicitly. Instead, he

advocates creating systems. Taking the example of exercise, if we have a goal to lose 20 pounds or reach a certain BMI, we may give it up once we reach our target. If we have a system that simply says, be active every day, we’re more likely to find something active we like to do and stick with it. Similarly in our careers, a singular goal, like becoming the CEO of a specific company, may cause us to miss opportunities along the way or suffer unintentionally from failure when we work all our lives toward that one thing and then don’t succeed. Adams advocates creating systems that allow us to achieve every day. Adams uses the example of a CEO he met early on in his own career who said he had “a system” of always keeping an eye out for a better job, so he could take opportunities as they were presented to him.

Adams also mentions Warren Buffet, who has a system of buying undervalued companies, holding onto them and then selling at an optimum time. All this may sound a little like hogwash, or even cliche. But the 2013 book was the most enlightening thing I’d read in a while. There are a number of good takeaways beyond what I’ve written here: develop a diverse skill set; being mediocre at lots of things is often better than mastery of one; sometimes success comes down to pure luck – being in the right place at the right time. At the end of the day, however, everything Adams writes in the funny way that only he can, is a reminder that we do have some control over our lots in life, and most of it comes to carefully preserving our minds and bodies to appreciate the journey.

Councillors want answers on quadrupling splash pad costs laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Costly new specifications for splash pads have stalled the construction of at least one city park and have city councillors demanding answers. Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley and Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais re-iterated their frustration over the lack of information they’ve received about technical drainage requirements they say will quadruple the cost of building a splash pad. Hubley said it will cost around $400,000 to install a new splash pad, according to city staff. That’s up from the previous estimated cost of around

$100,000. The larger price tag comes from city staff advice that new splash pads will have to be built with dual drainage systems. “Where do these regulations come from that are causing the cost of splash pads to go so high?” Hubley said. Hubley said he has been told the water used in splash pads should drain into the sanitary sewer system for treatment during the summer when the splash pad is in use and into the city’s storm sewers in the off season. The information came to light over the winter when the councillor inquired about adding water-play features to parks. The issue has delayed construction of a new park at

Crownridge Drive and Hope Side Road, which was supposed to be built this year. “In there was to be water play and other features,” Hubley said. “Under the original interpretation (of the drainage requirements), all that there would be money for would be the water play (feature), so I have delayed the park because I want some tennis courts in that park, too.” The only information Hubley said he’s received so far is a verbal interpretation of a “regulation” from city staff – but no details on whether it’s a new rule passed by the province or an existing protocol the city is getting around to enforcing. “Staff (is) saying we can’t move ahead with doing these

water parks because of these changes, but we don’t have the formal report outlining the changes,” Hubley said. A city spokesperson didn’t respond to a request for more information before this newspaper’s deadline. He brought his frustration about the lack of response to his Feb. 18 environment committee inquiry to the planning committee last week in hopes of getting action on it. Getting a “proper legal

interpretation” in hand will give him something to refute, Hubley said. He said he’s building a case for the city to use water filtration systems available for $10,000 to $15,000 that would remove contaminants from the water, which could then be put into the storm sewers without a need for two drainage systems. Splash pads, unlike public pools, are considered to be “unregulated” under the On-

tario Health Protection and Promotion Act. The province does provide operating guidelines for facilities like splash pads, which advise operators to ensure water can’t be left standing for more than 15 minutes without requiring additional disinfection. If water is re-circulated and held in a basin for more than 15 minutes, the guidelines advise that the water must be treated and discharged as waste water.

Making sense of it all

ongratulations Premier Wynne. Against all the odds, the Liberals, a party long in the tooth after 11 years in office and weighed down by a long string of scandals and controversies, has once again returned to power at Queen’s Park. From the outset of the election, the province seemed ripe for change. Ontarians were figuratively screaming for it, according to poll after poll. It just wasn’t the type of change anyone expected. Progressive Conservatives across the province were in collective shock as they watched the election results come in on June 12 – they expected voters to punish a party, just not their own. Few expected a Liberal majority. In the aftermath, the voters, including the pundits and journalists furiously pounding out copy to meet deadline, are left scratching their heads trying to figure out what it all means. Well, Premier, we can start with what it doesn’t mean. The results were not a ringing endorsement for your policies, or a thumbs up for the economic direction Ontario has been heading under 11 years of Liberal rule. Many voters question Liberal policies, such as the Green Energy Act, the decision to pay corporations to set up shop in Ontario, a bumbling strategy to

encourage industrial growth – need we go on? Voters headed into the June election with a bad taste in their mouth after digesting the Liberals’ latest budget proposal, which promised to add $5.7 billion in new spending while bizarrely indicating the intention to erase the deficit within three years. Keep in mind, the provincial debt has doubled under the Liberal’s watch and the province currently operates with a massive and growing deficit. But still we are left with the question of your party’s improbable victory. We can only conclude that this was an election about what voters didn’t want. It was a complete and utter repudiation of Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak and was also the last election he will fight at the helm of the party. This was an election dominated by fear instead of ideas. The only party punished by the electorate was the Progressive Conservatives, strangely enough they were also the only party to admit the fact that Ontario is in bad shape economically and that cost cutting measures are needed, as well as policies to encourage manufacturing and business growth. Unfortunately, they weren’t very good at communicating the message to the electorate. Hopefully, the next election will focus on issues and policies rather than strategic voting and fear.

Peering over the fence at the world’s game

espite its growing popularity as a participation sport, soccer has not yet caught on as a spectator sport with North Americans. It’s hard to know why that is, since soccer is No. 1 just about everywhere else in the world and the World Cup, which is underway in Brazil, rivals or perhaps even exceeds the Olympics in world interest. It may just be that we have so many other sports to interest us. We have baseball, football (the North American variety), hockey and basketball and even televised golf, which some people like to use as a sleep aid on weekend afternoons. There is racing, cars and horses. People will actually watch poker on television and there has been growth in the number of people watching wrestling and mixed martial arts. Soccer has some competition. Yet there is potential. In every neighbourhood in Ottawa, parents turn out in droves on weekday nights to watch their kids play soccer at levels ranging from four years old on up, from beginner to extremely skilled. On a sunny evening, it is pleasant occasion. Plus, there are usually snacks. You would assume that some of those kids and some of those parents would become fans of soccer, attending the games and watching

Funny Town them on television, as a result of this exposure to the game. But it is slow coming. According to an article I read recently, there are actually more Canadian children involved in soccer than in hockey now. Yet this remains firmly a hockey culture. Watching beginners playing soccer, as opposed to baseball, you notice that they do so with more focus and enthusiasm. This is because soccer, at that level, is much easier to understand. You kick it that way; you stop the other kids from kicking it this way. Baseball has infinite complications. If the ball is hit to you at third, step on the bag – unless there is no runner on first. If you’re the runner, don’t run on a fly ball – unless there are two out. (Without going into the infield fly rule, the game’s complications can be funny. If you have

never heard it, look up Bob Newhart’s comedy routine on baseball. Mr. Google will show you the way.) Of course, the subtleties of the game – the defensive shifts and pitching strategies – are what make baseball addictive for its fans and impenetrable to its detractors. People will tell you that nothing happens in baseball, a suggestion that amazes and distresses partisans of the game. Similarly, a baseball fan might tell you that nothing happens in soccer. There’s no scoring, not even that many scoring chances. But watch a game with someone who really understands it and you’ll realize that soccer has subtleties too, skills and strategies that are not obvious to the casual viewer. Aficionados appreciate them – and of course there are millions of those around the world. Every sport has its subtleties, things that better-informed fans love about their game, and it is probably time to dispense with the notion that one game is superior to another. There is enough snobbery in the world without it spreading to sports. The World Cup is a great showcase for the game (as well as the colourful, sometimes bizarre and occasionally violent behaviour of fans from around the world) and it should

cause an upsurge of interest in the game. In Ottawa, we now have a professional team, Ottawa Fury FC, and it should benefit from the upsurge, and perhaps cause a further upsurge itself. Meanwhile, the Toronto Blue Jays are causing all kinds of excitement in major league baseball and the Toronto Raptors gave basketball fans lots of thrills in the season just concluded. With any luck, all of these teams will stimulate some interest among kids and get them out playing. Whichever sport you like best, you have to admit this beats video games.

Business is booming at Westfest Graeme Nelson and his sister Rowan are all smiles while raising funds from their booming lemonaid and cookie sales during Westfest on April 14. By late afternoon that day, the siblings, with a little help from dad, Chad, had raised about $80, in support the Kemptville-based Ryan’s Well Foundation, which is trying to build wells and latrines in Africa and Central and South America. Graeme was inspired by his kindergarten class at Churchill Alternative School, which recently raised more than $100 for the charity.

News- On June 28, somewhere in this city a children’s book and a flash mob will collide to create an literary phenomenon at an Ottawa Public Library branch. The phenomenon is called a story mob and the Ottawa Public Library will use this interactive session to launch its TD Summer Reading Club on June 28. The idea for the event came from something similar run last year by the Toronto Public Library. The event will feature an interactive rendition of the Canadian book The Busy Beaver, said Elizabeth Thornley, co-ordinator for children and teen services at the library. “I think anything that is big and fun and noisy helps kids see that reading is fun,” Thornley said. Leading up to the big day, she said the library will give out hints and clues through its Twitter and Facebook accounts. If it’s anything like its Toronto counterpart, the mob will have volunteers dressed up in characters from the book act-

ing out the story with props and signs, musical instruments and choreographed sections. The story mob, Thornley said, will be the library’s way of officially launching the start of the summer reading club programming. The free program is an opportunity for children to make reading fun and a part of their summer. Those that join receive an activity book, a notebook to keep track of the books they read and stickers. Thornley said it’s simple. Children join and then keep track of the number of books they read. She said participation is strong across the city and that last year there were more than 16,000 children registered and they read a total of 162,726 books. On June 3, TD Bank Group announced its commitment to supporting the reading club for the next three years with a donation of $5 million. “Instilling the joy of reading in children is one of life’s great pleasures – it helps create lasting childhood memories and promotes crucial literacy skills,” said Frank McKenna, deputy chairman for the TD

Through the TD Summer Reading Club program, we’re proud to foster learning in kids across the country and inspire them to turn the page of a new adventure.” This year’s theme is Eureka!, and is all about making and creating things. “It’s everything from tech-

nology to knitting,” Thornley said. The theme, she said, is partly in part because the Centrepointe Library recently opened its makerspace. Thornley added if people are interested in volunteering to be part of the mob or to sign up for the reading club, register online at biblioottawalibrary.ca and to keep updated about the upcoming event follow the library’s Twitter account, @opl_ bpo or its Facebook account, facebook.com/OPLBPO.

Improving Pedestrian Connections – New Crossings on Fisher Avenue Providing improved pedestrian connections to transit, to Ottawa’s extensive pathway system and to public facilities such as schools, community centres or churches, is a priority for me and my Council colleagues. I am pleased to let you know that, at the City Council meeting of June 11, 2014, funding was approved for two new pedestrian crossings along Fisher Avenue. The first crossing will be installed at Normandy Crescent (south). The second crosswalk will facilitate a safe crossing at Tunis Avenue for residents accessing transit or the Experimental Farm pathway. Thank you to everyone who provided their feedback about the importance of these important pedestrian links.

Author recounts father-in-law’s escape from Nazi POW camp Launch of Army of Worn Soles coincides with anniversary of Nazi invasion of Soviet Union Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Arts - A Ukrainian-Canadian man’s extraordinary capture and escape from the Nazis at the Second World War’s eastern front has been memorialized in a book to launch June 22. Written by Scott Bury, the book “Army of Worn Soles” recounts the experiences of the late Maurice Bury, a Canadian of Ukrainian descent who left Canada with his family to escape the depression, only to be drafted into the Red army and then captured by the Nazis. Maurice managed to escape and eventually return to Canada, where he shared his story with Bury. “Whenever I’d say, ‘Oh this is horrible,’ or complain about my job, he would say, ‘Well, you guys have it easy. When I was your age, I was in the army,’” said Bury.

About 20 years ago, Bury realized his father-in-law’s stories really could fill a book, and over the next 10 years, he would sit down with Maurice to take notes on his experiences, knowing that a story from the Second World War’s eastern front is a rarity in much of North America. “I found that, talking to people, most of them are really surprised about the basic stuff in the story: the fact that there were five times as many soldiers fighting on the eastern front than on the western front, and that’s where the bulk of Germany’s forces were concentrated,” said Bury. The state of the Soviets’ equipment was a particular surprise to Bury, and it became the basis for the book’s title. “One of the first little factoids that Maurice told me was that in the early days of the war, after the invasion, the Red Army was so badly underequipped and unprepared that they didn’t have re-

being the Nazi’s policy of starving captured Soviet soldiers. Captured by the Germans, Maurice and the men he led as a lieutenant of an anti-tank unit nearly starved to death, but he managed to escape. The story was often difficult for Maurice to tell, said Bury. “He didn’t mind telling me how brave he was,” said Bury with a laugh. “But you know, there is a lot of hard things that happened … I think anyone would be reluctant to talk about the actual experience of fighting and advancing on your enemy.” Over 10 years, Bury had collected enough information to tell Maurice’s story, and in the last years of his life, Maurice was able to read the story. Some of the descriptions were too vivid for his liking, recalled Bury, but the story was there, he said, and it was worth telling. Bury has been preparing the book for the public in the years since Maurice’s death, and said he is excited to officially launch the book June 22 on the anniversary of Nazi Germany’s invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941.

Old Ottawa East brainstorms Oblate improvements Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - In contrast to the NIMBY movement of communities railing against new and unwanted developments in their areas, Old Ottawa East residents gathered on June 10 to find ways to be “YIMBYs” and say “Yes in my backyard.” The event, titled “Deep Green,” was a forum held by the community association and Sustainable Living Ottawa East to gain ideas and feedback on how to make the planned redevelopment of the institutional lands on Main Street an environmentally and socially sustainable addition to the neighbourhood. Regional Group recently confirmed it will buy the land and abide by the community design plan to develop around 900 new housing units on the land currently occupied by the Oblate fathers Catholic order. Domicile is in the process of getting approval for a neighbouring building on the front portion of the Sisters of the Sacred Heart lands. Representatives from both companies were on hand to listen to ideas presented at the

Geri Blinick, community developer with the Sandy Hill Community Health Centre, leads a discussion about including affordable housing in the redevelopment of the Oblate lands in Old Ottawa East during on June 10. forum. Before those builders put shovels in the ground, Rebecca Aird said she and SLOE want to offer constructive and financially feasible suggestions on how to make the new development a good fit for the area. “We’re talking about big change for our community,” said John Dance, president of the Old Ottawa East Community Association. “We want to manage that and make it work

for us.” Although the community groups don’t have any guarantee the developers will heed their suggestions, Aird said if the ideas are sound and make good business sense, she believes developers will listen. “It’s about stretching the boundaries in terms of what transpires between a community and a developer ... It’s about being proactive and constructive rather than reactive and

negative,” she said. “How can we be ‘YIMBY’ – ‘yes in my backyard’ – about this development, rather than ‘NIMBY’ (not in my backyard)?” Sustainable Living Ottawa East worked with students from Carleton University’s research project on community engagement to define four main themes to focus on when attempting to shape redevelopment plans: community amenities and connectivity, stormwater management and shoreline restoration, affordable and seniors’ housing and energy sustainability. Following presentations on each topic, residents gathered for group discussions on how those topics could or should be influenced. Dance spoke about the need for community space, since the small old town hall currently used for public programming will be overstretched as the neighbourhood grows. Working with the city and developers to lobby for public amenities like a recreational centre or community space will be critical, he said. City-owned spaces aren’t the only amenities the community needs – a full range of shops and services, especially

a grocery store – are other things to lobby for, Dance said. Increased transit frequency will also be an eventual necessity, he said. In discussion groups afterwards, residents expressed a desire for community facilities and meeting spaces to be incorporated into the same area as shops in order to bolster their use. A lively discussion about affordable housing and accommodations for seniors was kicked off by Geri Blinick, community developer with the Sandy Hill Community Health Centre. She said the group has heard there is a need for more varied housing options for seniors and low-income residents in Old Ottawa East. Talks are already underway to pursue some form of subsidized housing at the Oblate lands – an effort supported by David Kardish of Regional Group, who sits the on board of the Centretown Affordable Housing Coalition. The redevelopment also presents an opportunity to save the Rideau River shoreline, said Ian McRae, a member of SLOE. Extending low-impact development to the river’s edge could help make the eroded

LANNING made easy.

Just part of the

shoreline a place people can use while simultaneously providing more stability to the embankment. McRae suggested things like “water ladders,” flat water play areas and viewing decks could help shore up the edge and make it useable for residents. Drafting a business case for sustainable energy solutions for the Oblate lands is a more esoteric task, said Martin Adelaar, who spoke on that topic. Coming up with proposals that are “flexible, resilient, scalable and energy efficient” is the goal and Adelaar suggested district energy systems are the answer. A district energy system is a centralized heating and cooling system that serves many buildings in a defined area. The systems are intended to reduce energy use and are able to make more use of environmentally friendly energy sources. Funding district energy systems or other sustainable infrastructure is the challenge and SLOE and residents discussed presenting options such as crowdsourcing, social impact bonds and community bonds to generate seed funding for the projects.

PC support static, Greens nearly double vote count Continued from page 1

The Ottawa Centre result was no surprise, but supporters at Naqvi’s post-election bash at the Westboro Clock Tower Brew Pub found more reason to celebrate the Liberals across the province decimated their competition, claiming a majority in the 107-seat legislature (winning 59) and reducing the Progressive Conservatives to just 27 seats, down a full 10 ridings from the last Liberal minority government. The NDP also made out as winners in the PC slaughter, picking up four seats to bring their total to 21. But there was no orange wave in Ottawa Centre, often considered to be an opportunity for the New Democrats, who hold the riding federally. Local candidate Jennifer McKenzie only picked up 20.4 per cent of the vote, down from her predecessor Anil Naidoo’s 29 per cent result in 2011. McKenzie was unavailable for comment the morning after the election. The long-shot candidates took very different approaches to the Ottawa Centre race. Despite hitting the campaign trail early and campaigning throughout his two years as candidate to build his profile – election or not – PC Rob Dekker saw no momentum, with his vote share stalled at 18 per cent. In contrast, Green candidate Kevin O’Donnell almost doubled his smaller share of the vote, going from 4.3 per cent support to 7.7 per

cent. That was despite not knocking on a single door, O’Donnell said. “Which is like poison. It’s suicide for a politician to say that,” he said. A snap election meant O’Donnell wasn’t able to plan or mobilize the same way he did last time. O’Donnell, who is also the deputy party leader, relied on an “air campaign” of media coverage and social media interaction, where voters were really engaged in the topics he was presenting – especially the stance of merging the public and Catholic school boards. “That knowledge that people are talking about my campaign, that’s really exciting,” O’Donnell said, adding that success for him is a high enough share of the popular vote to make other parties pay attention. “So long as (Green results) are high enough that other parties recognize there are mobilized, engaged voters that care and look at the Green party platform and say ‘That’s what those voters care about,’ then that’s success,” he said. Dekker’s team hit 10,000 to 12,000 homes, canvassing every weekend for more than a year. He and his campaign manager drafted an election plan 18 months ago and Dekker said he’s satisfied they stuck to their plan. “We had a message. It was about what the party was going to do for the province and the positive things we were going to be doing,” Dekker said. “It wasn’t about doing any mudslinging. It was about reaching out to as many people as we can.”

LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND

Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi celebrates his third-term win – and his party’s Liberal majority government – with his wife, Christine McMillan, at the Clock Tower Brew Pub in Westboro on election night, June 12. Dekker said having a consistent face representing the PCs is especially important in Ottawa Centre, but with a Liberal majority he won’t have a reason to hit the hustings for another two years for a set election date in four years. “I think we’ve got a couple years to really examine what the next step is going to be,” Dekker said.

Election results a shock to opposition candidates

ROBERT (BOB) SLACK PRESIDENT DIRECTOR – ONTARIO The Canadian Snowbird Association (CSA) is pleased to announce the election of Robert (Bob) Slack as the association’s president and director for Ontario for the term 2014 – 2017. Mr. Slack has had a long and distinguished career in education. As a teacher, principal and later supervisor of student teachers, he began his teaching career at the Galt Roman Catholic School Board, continued with the Carleton Roman Catholic School Board, and later the State University of New York. During his career in education he was actively involved in the establishment of classes and programs for dependently handicapped students. For over ten years Bob was a presenter of retirement planning workshops for the Ontario Teachers’ Federation. He also served as an educational consultant for the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture. In addition to a regular teaching career, he was employed as a part-time lecturer at the University of Ottawa as well as served as a municipal councillor for the Township of Goulbourn. A member of the Canadian Snowbird Association, Mr. Slack has been a volunteer with several organizations. He has served in numerous capacities with the Catholic Principals’ Council of Ontario, including two terms as president. A past-president of the Richmond District Lions Club and Richmond Snowrovers Snowmobile Club, he has also been active in minor hockey. Bob Slack and his wife Lois reside in Athens, Ontario. Founded in 1992, the Canadian Snowbird Association is a national not-for-proﬁt advocacy organization dedicated to actively defending and improving the rights and privileges of Canadian travellers.

In this campaign, the race appeared tighter, with three wellknown Ottawa public figures in the running: Chiarelli, Denley and former city councillor Alex Cullen of the NDP. But Chiarelli trounced Denley by a 12 per cent margin. “Our team, our campaign this year has been the best I have ever worked with,” Chiarelli said late on election night. “We have people from every corner of the riding – every age, every demographic – people even came from across the province because this was a tough one.” Chiarelli also thanked the voters of Ottawa West-Nepean after the 11th campaign in his varied political career. “I know this was a tough election,” he said. “And people want more out of their representatives and I pledge to do better. That’s my first promise coming out of this election.” RUNNER-UP

During his election night event, Denley said it was “hard to be optimistic” about the next few years in Ontario. He said PC leader Tim Hudak ran a good campaign, but the people of Ontario chose “four more years of fantasy” from the Liberals.

Denley told supporters he had already spoken to Chiarelli, and encouraged him to help change the direction of the province. The result in Ottawa West-Nepean came as a bit of a shock to NDP candidate Alex Cullen, who managed to garner about 15 per cent of the vote. He said the results reflected the public’s impression of the PC’s platform, and that the Tories paid the price for their pledge to cut jobs. That being said, he admitted he didn’t expect a Liberal majority. Cullen, a political veteran at both the provincial and municipal levels, isn’t quite done with politics yet despite the setback. “I have more elections left,” Cullen said, adding now that the provincial election is done, people can focus on the upcoming municipal election. Cullen said he wanted to top former NDP candidate Wendy Byrne’s numbers from the 2011 general election. “We wanted to grow (the NDP vote),” he said, adding he used Facebook, YouTube and other social media tools to spread his party’s message. Cullen said hydro rates and jobs were key issues when he knocked on doors in the riding. “There are a lot of seniors in the riding and it has just become unaffordable, so the Liberals will have to deal with that,” he said.

Glebe residents looking to sort out area parking Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - With the opening of Lansdowne Park now only weeks away, the Glebe residents will look to define acceptable parking areas in their neighbourhood. The Glebe Community Association is concerned that cars driven by stadium patrons attending football games and other events will spill into the residential areas and parking for Glebe businesses will also be limited. To alleviate this concern, the associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transportation committee chairman Brian Mitchell has reached out for support from the Glebe business improvement area to define commercial parking in the Glebe. The two groups plan to send a joint statement to city on the issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The intention is to set the lines and respect the needs of the commercial area,â&#x20AC;? Mitchell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the areas close to homes should be up to residents to use.â&#x20AC;? The statement is currently being drafted, but Mitchell said another purpose is to establish that the association is against future reduction of parking due to new developments, and to set the boundaries for commercial and residential parking. Gilbert Russell, chairman of the BIA, said he understands Mitchellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desire to be proactive. The boundaries are defined as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;wrap aroundâ&#x20AC;? of the side streets directly beside the commercial side of Bank Street. This area would be metered, pay-and-display parking and depending on the street, the commercial portion would vary, but typically includes at least the first three houses closest to Bank Street. The statement, Russell said, will not call for a change to the current parking conditions, but simply clarify what exists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It defines the status quo and it reaffirms status quo,â&#x20AC;? Russell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the association is simply being proactive and looking down the road trying to mitigate any possible negative outcomes.â&#x20AC;? The BIA, Russell added, supports neighbours not having visitors pay to visit their friends and family. He added having the commercial parking area defined will create con-

Some groups in the Glebe want to better define different types of parking areas in the neighbourhood. sistency in the shopping area of Bank Street in the neighbourhood. Shoppers currently have 75 municipal spaces in which to park, with the overflow currently ending up on residential streets. Russell said the concern for parking during game days is a legitimate one and for retailers, they do not want to lose businesses because people are staying away from the area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are looking at 2070 parking spaces in the area (at Lansdowne) and then you are left to look for parking in the rest of the Glebe. The need is there. It might not be there the same when the retail comes (to the park) the day-to-day as the retail comes, may be different, but game day will be more a problem.â&#x20AC;? Russell said the association plans

to post game day schedules on its website, glebebia.com. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The concern is that people will avoid the area and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want,â&#x20AC;? Russell said. Over a year ago, the city had plans to turn a surface parking lot between First and Second avenues into a fourstorey parking garage, featuring 149 vehicle spaces. Capital Coun. David Chernushenko had hoped that the $9.5-million structure would be built and available for use before the stadium opened. A municipal parking garage for the neighbourhood was initially approved when the last city council looked at redeveloping Lansdowne Park. But those plans are on hold when at first the construction schedule was delayed because it was deemed too

ambitious, and then when the development was appealed at the Ontario Municipal Board. The appeal hearing will take place on June 19 at the Keefer Room at city hall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The delay, it will make things more challenging,â&#x20AC;? Chernushenko said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From the onset I wanted it before the opening.â&#x20AC;? He added parking has long been a concern leading up to the opening of

the stadium. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Parking is already a big challenge in the Glebe,â&#x20AC;? Chernushenko said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Possibly the biggest message we are giving is take the bus, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drive. But we know parking will be a challenge.â&#x20AC;? The councillor thinks what the association and the BIA are doing is a good step to defining the area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is in support of the status quo -- basically saying, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want the opening of Lansdowne to eat into business or the residents parking, basically to say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hey, things are right the way they so letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keep it that way,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he said, but when it comes to predicting what will actually take place when Lansdowne opens remains up in the air. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wait and see sounds like we are doing nothing -- itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hard one to swallow,â&#x20AC;? Chernushenko said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Staff has said this from the onset and I have reluctantly agreed with. To make a lot of changes before we know what is going to happen is not necessarily the answer. Parking is entirely reliant upon human behaviour. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how people are going to respond. There is a severe shortage of parking, we hope people will respond by not driving but we are going to have to see what happens.â&#x20AC;?

League of super volunteers bring comics to life for children Costumed do-gooders attend local events, raise money for Children’s Wish Foundation Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

News - Costume creators from across Ottawa are banding together to delight kids and raise money for the Children’s Wish Foundation. For more than a year, members of the League of Super Heroes dressed up as DC and Marvel super heroes have been attending various fundraising events upon request as a free attraction for kids. After taking pictures with children and adults alike, members of the league ask only that people consider making a donation to Children’s Wish Foundation, or another children’s charity. The league is the brainchild of Max Lauzon, a Barrhaven resident who was inspired by the birth of his son, he said. “I’m big into super hero costuming and building them,” said Lauzon. “My wife was pregnant with our son at the time, and I wanted to do something that

he could look up to and could get involved with later. “I wanted to do charity work, so I thought, ‘Let’s combine my love of super hero costumes with this.’” The League of Super Heroes officially started in February of 2013, and it caught on quickly, said Lauzon. Beginning with two members including Lauzon, the group now has 22 members from across Ottawa, not to mention two photographers, with events booked every weekend this month. The group is based on the 501st Legion, an organization of Star Wars enthusiasts who dress up as storm troopers and other villains beginning in 1997. “We are like Star Wars guys that wear capes and tights,” said Lauzon. Everyone is a volunteer, and all money collected goes to charity. “Our mission is to raise money primarily for Children’s Wish Foundation and

Volunteers from the League of Super Heroes dressed up as Iron Man, Spider-Man, Rogue, Green Arrow, Harley Quinn and Batman attend the CHEO event. kids charities,” said Lauzon. Last year, the group raised nearly $4,000 for the Children’s Wish Foundation. But that’s not to say Lauzon and the other league members don’t get anything out of the experience. When Lauzon and his band of super heroes arrive at an event, “the kids are speech-

less,” said Lauzon, adding that adults often have a similar reaction. “It’s tough to get (kids) to pose for pictures because their mouths are wide open and they keep looking behind them (at the costumed volunteers). “Our mission is the kids,” re-iterated Lauzon. “That’s who we do this for, and when

we see them like that, it’s just awesome.” It certainly has an impact, said Sue Walker, director of the eastern Ontario and Outaouais chapter of the Children’s Wish Foundation. “They’ve just been amazing,” said Walker. “They make the day for the kids. They are so excited to

see them and the fact that they get to interact with them … The kids just think it’s wonderful.” Though the league has yet to participate in making a wish come true, Walker said she hopes to have them participate in a wish this July. The league is continuing to expand, with new members being met at events and through social media, said Lauzon. But those who wish to volunteer have to submit a photo of the super hero costume they are trying to re-create, and then three pictures of themselves in the costume. Lauzon then goes over the photos with an eye to accuracy. “We want to look just like we are off the pages of a comic book or off the silver screen,” said Lauzon. The league is accepting DC and Marvel super heroes and some villains, depending on just how scary they are. Lauzon dresses as the 1989 Batman as well as Cyclops right out of the comics. Lauzon hopes the league continues to grow, with ambitions to open up chapters in Montreal and Toronto.

Rideau Hall Movie Nights

ple the chance to learn about some great Canadians. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes there are famous Canadians that we all know, but a lot of these stories are regular people,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brian said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here a lot of the recipients are ordinary Canadians who have done something extraordinary. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very inspirational and a chance to learn more about the people who live around you.â&#x20AC;? Open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. from June 28 to July 1, the free exhibit introduces visitors to Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s honour systems, showcasing Canadians who have been honoured in differ-

ent ways either on behalf of the Queen, the Order of Canada, Declarations of Bravery, Military Valour Decorations and other national honours. The exhibit is set up on the back of an 18-wheeler and after its Ottawa stop, it will be on the road again to visit other Canadian cities â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like you are in the back of a truck,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brian said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a unique experience with so much to do.â&#x20AC;? The exhibition promises to be interactive, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brian said, with information panels, touch screens and artifacts as well as stations where people can test their knowledge on Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national honours and share their comments in the exhibitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interactive areas. Chris Hadfield will even offer his two cents in holographic form. Situated on the driveway of the Gov.-Gen. David Johnstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residence, patrons will have the opportunity to learn about Johnstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role and responsibilities as Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head of state. The idea for the museum on wheels came from its sponsor, Don Taylor, an Order of Canada recipient. According to Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brian, when Taylor came to Ottawa to receive his medal, he learned about Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s honour system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mobile,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brian said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He felt it was important for people to see and have all Canadians see.â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brian said the travelling exhibit offers people an alternative to downtown Canada Day celebrations. Each day during the stop, the travelling exhibit will celebrate four themes: Canadian literature, honouring people in service, volunteers and of course Canada Day celebrations, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brian said. The exhibit is bilingual and wheelchair accessible.

Local talent to perform at Bluesfest School Converted church hosts stage for up-and-comers to get noticed by industry Steph Willems

while receiving valuable industry guidance, thanks to the Bluesfest School of Music and Arts in Westboro.

Starting on June 26, these acts will begin performing at the facility, netting $500 for the show and the chance of receiving an additional $1,000 bonus based on a number of perfor-

The single most important issue that I heard was the need for more educational assistants (EAs) for students with special needs and behavioural challenges. At the June 9 Budget meeting, I was successful in securing $420,000 for an additional 8 new full time EAs. Five will be itinerant emergency EAs, and 3 will be placed in schools. I was also successful in adding an additional $100,000 for playgrounds and outdoor learning spaces that are important for our children’s fitness and well-being. A final vote on the 2014 OCDSB Budget will take place at the June 23 Board meeting at 7:30. This month, we will be putting the final touches on some key policy issues such as childcare for preschoolers and toddlers. I believe very strongly that we must partner with the excellent childcare providers across the District. Many of these providers have been delivering childcare to our children for as long as forty years. The Board needs the childcare community, and we must work in a mutually beneficial partnership. As the school year draws to a close, I look forward to the Graduation and Leaving Ceremonies at our River Zone schools. I am very proud of the work we do together. Our children are our most precious gifts. It is a pleasure to represent you and to contribute to the achievement and well-being of our students.

News - While dragon-boat teams are itching to take to the waters of the Rideau River this weekend, organizers of the Tim Hortons Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival are itching to welcome huge crowds.

The 21st Tim Hortons Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival begins tonight, June 19, at Mooney’s Bay Park in south Ottawa. Billed as North America’s largest dragon-boat festival and the largest free festival and festival fundraiser in the Capital region, the event will draw 5,000 paddlers on about 200 teams.

The festival typically attracts between 60,000 and 80,000 people over the course of the four-day event, depending on the weather. “It’s a great tourism event,” said John Brooman, the festival’s chief executive officer and president. “It has a huge economic impact on the city. “It’s incredibly diverse and

Sandy Hill church to be converted to apartments Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - The city’s planning committee made quick work of a plan to turn the former St. Clement church in Sandy Hill into micro apartments. The plan from developer Black Iris involves tearing down the rectory and adding an addition onto the church for a total of 58 units. “Personally, I’m happy that they’re keeping the church,” said Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury. “There are a lot of things they’ve worked on in terms of design to highlight the church a little more.” Still, Fleury said he wishes the developer did more with the design to move the addition back so the church itself could be more visible from the west. “As you come up Mann Avenue, you see the peak of the church, but you have to almost be in front before you truly see it,” Fleury said. But if the building was moved back, five parking spaces would be lost, Fleury said, or the building would have to be made smaller. A car-sharing space was added to the proposal and the number of parking spaces was increased to 10 from the developer’s original suggestion of six spaces. The city’s rules would have required 38 parking spaces, but the planning committee approved relief from that provision because the apartment building is near the Transitway and would have

DEALS YOU LOVE

FOR LESS Submitted

Robertson Martin Architects redesigned the former St. Clement church on Mann Avenue into apartments, which the city’s planning committee approved on June 10. 66 bicycle parking spaces. A commitment to more landscaping, including trees and shrubs around the parking area, was another positive change, Fleury said. Although 60 people and the Action Sandy Hill community association sent letters in opposition to the development, none of them attended the planning committee meeting to speak against it. A representative from the Muslim association, which currently occupies space in a commercial plaza on Mann Avenue, told the committee the group wishes it could have purchased the land to retain it as a place of worship, but they lost out in a bidding war.

In community meetings, residents had expressed concerns about a proposed rooftop patio on the new addition. The patio will be located at least 17 metres away from the nearest residential neighbour, according to the planning report, and it will have to be set back up to 1.5 m from the edges of the roof to mitigate the amount of noise and visual intrusion for neighbours. The city intends to limit the use of the rooftop patio from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. when the site plan is approved. Garbage will be kept indoors in a chilled storage room and the developer intends to have a full-time building manager on site.

CHEO names diabetes room for east-end resident Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - Matt LaRue was only 20 years old when he died, but he already knew what he wanted to do with his life. LaRue, an Orléans resident, was studying nutrition to work with diabetic youth, and aspired to work at CHEO. He died in 2009 from an aneurism that was unrelated to his diabetes.

His friends and family have made sure that even though he never achieved his dream of working at CHEO, his memory is still helping youth. An annual ball hockey fundraiser has powers the Matt LaRue Endowment Fund, the first ever endowment fund for diabetes at CHEO. Because of the endowment fund, CHEO has named a room used for diabetes support services after LaRue. In honour of his namename, Beijj – because of his Bichon Frise-

dog style hair – the room is called the Beijj Room. It was named in December 2013. The room houses staff such as dietitians, who work with newly diagnosed children and youth with diabetes. “There are lots of challenges,” said dietitian Angela Cameron, who works in the Beijj Room. “And people have different learning abilities.” Dietitians use different tools, such as a tablet and fake plastic food to work with the youth, some of which has been paid for with the Matt LaRue Endowment Fund. On average, each week sees one to two new patients diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. The patients meet with the CHEO team every three months as they learn to live with the disease. The fund also pays for continuing education for some of the staff. This year, two dieititians are going to an international diabetes conference in Toronto. “Matt has quite a group of devoted friends,” said Megan Doyle Ray, manager of legacy giving at the CHEO foundation. She said his family and friends have been to see the room named in honour of their son and friend, and are proud that his memory is continuing. One of his best friends, Corey Desormeaux, said LaRue would be “speechless” if he saw what had been

The Matt LaRue Memorial Ball Hockey Tournament will be held this year on June 21 at the South Fallingbrook Community Centre. The four-on-four tournament will

have games going on from 10 a.m. to about 4 p.m. Now in the sixth year, the tournament has expanded to become more of a community event. This year, they will have a bouncy castle for children, and a barbecue and silent auction. Desormeaux, one of the organizers, said more and more community members have been coming by to watch and participate in the nonhockey activities since the tournament began. The aim is for the event to be known as an event for everyone in the community, not just a hockey tournament.

Councillor seeks legal guarantee on heritage overlays Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

File

Dalhousie Street in Lowertown is one of 30 areas under review by the city to create zoning consistency under the city’s Official Plan. Because of concerns from area residents, Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury has asked the city’s legal department to confirm the heritage overlays will serve as an enforceable guide for development. street. The change could also allow new buildings to be six storeys in height instead of the currently allowed four.

The city planner working on the rezoning, Steve Gauthier, said what is protected in the Lowertown West heritage

conservation district, including heritage overlays, will remain that way, but residents weren’t so easily convinced.

the heritage district guidelines turned into bylaws, but acknowledges that would take time and money so first and foremost, he said it’s important to address areas that are a priority. Currently city staff is focused on Sandy Hill, where there is no guidelines or proper wording. “For us, whatever we can do to bring certainty,” Fleury said. “Certainty, transparency and clarity is important when it comes to zoning. We want to bring more clarity.” 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.

News - The existing heritage overlays covering properties on Dalhousie Street could get some legal backing if the area councillor gets his way. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury said he has asked the city’s legal department to look at the wording of the heritage district designation to determine whether moving forward it will play a role in guiding development. “I want to get legal to confirm that heritage trumps everything else,” he said at the Lowertown Community Association meeting on June 9. Currently, a re-evaluation of Dalhousie Street zonings is being conducted to create consistency with the city’s Official Plan. The changes are being made so the street, which already is designated a commercial traditional main street south of St. Patrick, matches the designation north of St. Patrick too. The new zoning will allow for small businesses to open and potentially animate the

“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 at a May 12 meeting on the rezoning. According to Heritage Ottawa, the concern is that heritage overlays have proven to be a weak tool and can easily be lifted via the committee of adjustment. The association wrote a letter to the city asking that the rezoning be halted until the heritage overlays could be turned into bylaws, ensuring the character of the district could not be threatened by future development. Fleury said he hopes getting confirmation in writing from the city’s legal department that the heritage district is safe. “It brings another level of certainty,” he said. The councillor said this is his first step in creating guarantees when it comes to heritage. The Lowertown West Heritage Conservation District was designated in 2005.

Dickinson women of Manotick live on in new book Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Community - Much has been made of Manotick’s Moss Kent Dickinson, who was instrumental in founding the village south of Ottawa. But what of the women at his side? Few details have been known about the life and times of the Dickinson women, including Moss Kent’s wife Elizabeth and his two grown daughters – until now. Local historian Maureen McPhee has published a new book called The Women of Dickinson House and Their Place in Manotick Village Society: 1870 – 1930, which she hopes can shed new light to how women lived during Manotick’s heyday. “I initially wrote all this down for the guides (at Dickinson House),” said McPhee, who volunteers at the heritage home herself. She said visitors often ask about the lifestyles of the women of the house, but there hasn’t been much to tell. “My goal is to be as historically accurate as we can be, and have as much information as we can. What I hope others will take away from it is to

see the evolution in the role of women.” That’s most apparent, McPhee said, in the minutes from community organizations operating in the early 1900s, when the First World War was just beginning. Women began to take a much larger role as community leaders, whether it was through knitting campaigns to support the troops or by collecting money for the Red Cross. Previous works about the area, including some fiction, implied that the Dickinson women were not particularly involved in the community. But McPhee discovered through her research that this simply wasn’t true, particularly for Bessie Dickinson, the youngest child. Bessie was “extensively involved” in organizations like the Women’s Institute, the St. James Anglican Women’s Auxiliary and the St. James Anglican ladies’ guild, McPhee found -- and she was usually sitting at the executive table. “You can glean from the minutes a sense of what sorts of things were of concern to her,” said McPhee, who has

Maureen McPhee promotes her new book about the Dickinson women during Manotick’s annual Dickinson Days festival on June 7. The book is now available at Dickinson House and Manotick Office Pro. a degree in Canadian history and several decades of experience in primary research. “She championed a great many things, but during the war years, for example, she was instrumental in organizing work meetings to sew socks and nightshirts to send to soldiers from the local area.” Bessie’s older sister Charlotte is also a main focus in

McPhee’s new book, although Charlotte’s community work was overshadowed by her responsibilities as surrogate mother when Elizabeth died shortly after Bessie’s birth. “Charlotte had a role as the head female of the family, no doubt helping her father to entertain political connections and community connections,” McPhee said.

Charlotte did eventually join the Women’s Institute in her later years, but never reached the level of involvement that Bessie achieved. “Bessie was of course single; she never married. So…she didn’t have the responsibility of running a house, which left her free to engage her interests. It probably would have been more difficult for married women to

do that.” Married women did, of course, get involved as much as they could, and McPhee highlights their efforts in the new collection. A six-page table outlines the many local women who took part in the Women’s Institute between 1909 and 1930, including as much information about them as possible: their occupation or husband’s occupation, church affiliation, involvement in other groups and their role in the institute. “I tried to get a sense of who they were,” McPhee said. “Were they the daughters of doctors and lawyers? No, it was more daughters of farmers, shopkeepers, and men who were active in the Anglican and Presbyterian churches.” One of the most surprising themes to come out of McPhee’s research, she said, was the amount of co-operation between the various Protestant church groups in the village. “I would have thought there would be more divisions than there seemed to be,” McPhee said. St. James Anglican and Knox Presbyterian in particular supported each other on many community projects, she found, and often sent best wishes to sister groups in solidarity. “They seemed to be quite collegial.”

but his owners, Marin Umbres, 57, and Carmen Palos, 52, have been charged with failing to meet the standard of care and causing distress. They are scheduled to first appear in court on July 10. It’s not clear whether this year’s jump in numbers can be pinned on increased awareness leading to more reports or on more people leaving their dogs in hot cars, Smith said. “Either way, the calls we’re getting means we have a serious problem with dogs being left to cook in cars,” Smith said. When it’s hot, keep your pet at home, she said. “That decision may save your dog’s life,” Smith said. If you see an animal in distress, call the OHS emergency line at 613-725-1532.

The puppy, who was panting heavily and trying to hide under the seat, was checked out by an agent at the scene. His owner, Tagried Mohamed, 19, has been charged with permitting distress to an animal. He first appears in court on July 3. One day before that, an Old English sheepdog named Spencer was allegedly left for more than an hour while his owners were at Rideau Carleton Raceway.

This year, the Ottawa Humane Society has laid more charges and gotten more calls to save dogs from hot cars this spring than ever before, exposing a dangerous trend that could put even more dogs at risk as the weather heats up. By this time last year, just two people faced charges for leaving dogs in hot cars. This year, despite the slower start to the summer weather, that number has climbed to three. Calls to report dogs found in hot cars this year has risen nearly 20 per cent, from 81 to 97. “Unfortunately, people are still leaving their dogs behind when they run into the store,” said OHS Insp.

Uncle Lou’s extravagant gift brings tears of joy

e could hear the horn long before we could see the car. It was a horn like no other heard in all of Renfrew County. We knew it was Uncle Lou. He usually let Mother know when he was coming, but sometimes he just arrived, like it was an everyday occurrence to drive all the way from New York just to visit us out on the farm. By the time his big black Buick pulled into the yard, driving down our long lane off Northcote Side Road, Everett had run to open the gate wide, Audrey had replaced the Eaton’s catalogue with the orange wrapping papers in the outhouse, Mother had changed her apron to one spanking clean, and the rest of us circled the yard jumping

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories up and down like jackrabbits. Even Father had stopped whatever he was doing in the barns, and joined us, ready to greet Uncle Lou and his black Buick with the big shiny brass American eagle on the radiator. Mother, as usual, whenever her brother came from New York, was crying. It took me a long time to learn the difference between crying because you were sad or crying because you were overcome with joy. Mother was over-

come with joy. Uncle Lou pulled the car up close to the back door of the house, and when he got out, he swung Mother around like she was a toy doll, and then pumped Father’s hand, and then grabbed each of us into a bear hug, one that took my breath away. Uncle Lou never came empty handed. I tried not to make it look too obvious, but I couldn’t help looking into the back of the car, and there were boxes upon boxes, and

in the front seat were brown paper bags. I knew without a doubt he had stopped in Renfrew and bought bags of oranges, bananas, grapes, and a bag of lemons for Mother, all things we would never dream of adding to our Saturday morning shopping list. It was like Christmas, right in the middle of summer. I couldn’t take my eyes off the back of the car, but Uncle Lou didn’t seem to be in any great hurry to unload his luggage or the boxes. He did reach in and take out the bags of fruit though, which caused Mother to shed another great pile of tears. Emerson, who loved cars, was walking around and around the Buick like it was made of gold. In fact, we all thought the big eagle on the radiator was pure gold, until

When we were finished with opening all the wonderful gifts, Uncle Lou finally handed Mother the box from under his arm. “It’s for the whole family,” he said, but Mother was to open it. Mother sat down on a kitchen chair with the box in her lap. We five children circled around her, and I could feel excitement right down to

my toes. She seemed to take forever to untie the strings, and then she peered in the box, and was into the tears again. What she took out of the box almost caused the rest of us to cry along with her. There nestled in mounds of white tissue paper was a brass American eagle exactly like the one on Uncle Lou’s big black Buick, only this one was on a pedestal. Emerson, of course, wanted to hold it, but

Mother had a death-grasp on it, and she kept rubbing it with the tail of her white apron. Where to put it was the next question. Emerson, never short on ideas, thought it could be attached to the hood of the old Model T. The old Model T, missing a door, painted two different colours, and with a radiator that had to be opened every few miles to pour in more water. And so it was decided. It

would sit on top of the ice box. The new ice box that Grandfather had bought from Barnett’s in Renfrew and now sat kittycornered in the kitchen. Audrey was told to take off the geranium plant, give the top a good wipe with a clean dishcloth, and when all that was done, Mother got up and as if she was laying a cornerstone at an historic building, she put the American brass eagle in the very centre of the ice box. Not a word was spoken as we stood there like mutes, admiring this new and wonderful addition to our old log house. There was some discussion about its being put on the twig table in the parlour with the Bible, but Audrey pointed out that the parlour was seldom used, and no visitor would ever see it. And so it was decided. The American Eagle, identical to the one on Uncle Lou’s Buick, would have its home on our oak ice box, where it would be the first thing anyone would notice, coming in the kitchen. Yes, we all agreed. That’s where this treasure belonged, and where it stayed all the time we lived on the farm in Renfrew County. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Planked brie with blueberry Earn Extra Money! Keep Your Weekends Free! chutney a tasty appetizer Lifestyle - This subtlety smoked planked brie would be perfect as either an appetizer or as dessert. Be sure to soak a cedar plank for at least two hours before using. Preparation time: five minutes. Soaking time: two hours (cedar plank). Grilling time: 10 minutes. Serves four. Ingredients

• 45 ml (3 tbsp) packed brown sugar • 25 ml (2 tbsp) finely diced shallots or onion • 25 ml (2 tbsp) cider vinegar • 7 ml (1-1/2 tsp) finely grated fresh gingerroot • 3 whole cloves • 250 ml (1 cup) blueberries • 1 round (10 centimetre/four inch) brie cheese • crackers or sliced baguette Preparation

In a small saucepan, the combine sugar, shallots, vinegar, ginger and cloves and bring to simmer over medium

heat, stirring until reduced and syrupy – about one to two minutes. Discard the cloves. Stir in the blueberries. Transfer the mixture to a bowl or jar, cover and refrigerate until you’re ready to use (up to one day). Place the soaked cedar plank on a preheated grill over medium-high heat. Cover and grill until the plank starts to smoke and crackle, turning once, for about two to four minutes. Place the cheese on the plank, close the lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Grill

the cheese for five minutes or until it turns just deep golden brown. Top the cheese with half of the blueberry chutney, close the lid and grill again until golden and a little puffy – about one to two minutes. Carefully remove the plank with the cheese from grill. Let it cool for one to two minutes. Place the planked cheese on platter and serve with the remaining blueberry chutney and crackers on the side. Foodland Ontario

Weekend becoming like four different events in one: organizer Continued from page 25

The free family fun will include crafts, a bouncy castle, face painting, magicians, a birds of prey flight show, clowns, a puppeteer and an illusionist and Little Ray’s Reptiles will also be on hand. “The kids’ area has been a really, really popular feature over the years,” said Brooman. “That’s the interesting thing about our festival is the fact

that ... there’s something for everybody. “It’s almost like having a children’s festival within a music festival within a sporting festival within a fundraiser, with a couple of other things spun in there to keep it interesting.” Organizers are also extending the festival by two hours for the first time, by offering entertainment on Sunday, June 22 until 10 p.m., rather than 8

p.m. There will also be a tiki bar and stage set up on the beach – two components that were introduced last year for the first time and which proved very popular, said Brooman. “It creates a really nice vibe on the beach,” he said. “We’re pretty excited about that because it just made sense. It’s one of those things where you put on a pair of pants and they fit.”

The festival will once again boast a free, licensed, all-ages evening concert series starting tonight (June 19) at 6:30 p.m. and wrapping up at 10 p.m. on Sunday, June 22. But the big draw will be on the weekend when team after team take to the water in their boats to power stroke their way to the finish line. About 30 per cent of the registered teams come from out of town as far away as Florida, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Vancouver, Brooman said. It takes about 800 volunteers to make the festival a reality, with many of them ensuring dragon-boat teams are in the water and ready to go for the next race. “Every nine minutes, from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., you’re turning over roughly 500 people,” Brooman said. Two years ago he and other festival staff members went out in a dragon boat for the first time, in the lead up to the festival. “I personally would love to do a race some day,” he said. “’Cause there’s a neat feeling that we didn’t understand and now, all going out that one time, we really get it. When you feel 22 people working together in absolute synergy, and that boat ... takes off, it’s an incredible feeling.” In addition to the volunteers, the event – which first started in 1994 with 25 teams – largely functions thanks to the support of government

John Brooman, chief executive officer and president of the Tim Hortons Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival, says festival-goers will be able to enjoy new highlights at the upcoming event, including expanded children’s programming. grants and upwards of 60 corporate sponsors. “And without that support, we can’t do it,” he said. “It’s all about the corporate support, the paddlers, the volunteers and the government grants,” Brooman said. “It’s a huge web of people that really make this thing happen and keep it free.” While paddlers’ registration fees also help keep the festival going,, these team members also have the option of raising funds for different charities, which are selected by the Ottawa Dragon Boat Foundation every two or three years. The recent selection of

charities includes Shepherds of Good Hope, which works with the homeless and impoverished; Helping with Furniture, which provides gently used furniture and household items to people in need; Heartwood House, a home to grassroots organizations; Children at Risk Ottawa, which provides for children with autism; and the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa, which helps young people with a range of services, such as finding jobs and shelter. The foundation will contribute $500,000 to the bureau over the next four years, and the other charities will each receive $25,000 annually for the next two years. “It’s huge,” Brooman said of the impact the charitable foundation has made through the efforts of dragon-boat paddlers. “We’ve raised over $3 million for charities in the last number of years, since 1998.” The fundraising option is yet another attractive feature of the four-day festival, he said. “Some are there for the paddling, some are there for the fundraising, some are there for the music, some are there for the kids’ area,” Brooman explained. “Because it’s free for the public, there’s really a lot of different reasons for people to come down.” The festival takes place at Mooney’s Bay Park, located at 2960 Riverside Dr. For a complete schedule of events, including entertainment and racing, visit dragonboat.net.

Night safety, drug use top concerns on Lowertown survey Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - More than 70 per cent of Lowertown residents responded to a recent neighbourhood safety and security survey, citing personal safety and open drug use as two of the biggest issues in the area. The online survey conducted by the Lowertown Community Association asked residents whether they feel safe in their neighbourhood. Launched on May 3, it was an initiative aimed at helping track concerns and issues in the community. Some of the findings of the survey include: â&#x20AC;˘ 47 per cent of all respondents feel King Edward Avenue is not safe, with Rideau

Street coming in a close second with 41 per cent. â&#x20AC;˘ 70 per cent of all respondents feel safer during the day than at night. â&#x20AC;˘ 100 per cent of respondents east of King Edward reported seeing drug use at one point in the community, with 98 per cent of respondents west of King Edward reporting seeing drug use. â&#x20AC;˘ The community remains divided on the issue of safe injection sites in Lowertown. â&#x20AC;˘ 45 per cent of all respondents say there are too many bars in the neighbourhood and 27 per cent of all respondents say there are too many restaurants in the neighbourhood. â&#x20AC;˘ East of King Edward, respondents would like to see a stronger police presence in

the neighbourhood, â&#x20AC;˘ 48 per cent of all respondents were satisfied with the response from bylaw enforcement Norman Moyer, the associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safety and security committee chairman, presented the results on June 9. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The report is to give everyone a chance to see the results and have a discussion,â&#x20AC;? Moyer said. The last time the association conducted an online survey was in the lead-up to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visioning exercise for the Byward Market. Based on the survey results, Moyer said some of the next steps he feels the association could consider is to continue to do pedestrian and cycling audits, for the city to create a

plan to increase active travel safety on King Edward and Rideau and that police should improve its night time patrols in the neighbourhood. Other ideas Moyer said could be up for discussion are to improve bylaw control services, have the city restrict the number of bars and restaurants west of King Edward and have the city do its own scientific survey on the attitudes of bringing a secure injection site to the neighbourhood. Moyer said this survey received higher number of responses than the previous visioning survey. In total, 230 respondents filled out the survey, with 73 per cent of them residents of Lowertown.

MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND

A hundred per cent of Lowertown west residents responded that they have observed drug use in the neighbourhood at least once. This result is part of a larger survey the Lowertown Community Association distributed last month.

Aries, you have had little luck regarding relationships of late. Rather than focus on what hasn’t gone your way, change your perspective and focus on the good things. Taurus, you can be pretty stubborn when it comes to something that matters dearly to you. No matter your feelings, try to behave in a diplomatic manner. Gemini, be a shoulder to cry on for a beloved friend or family member this week. Everything will ultimately work out for the best, but your loved one needs support this week. Be mindful of what you say and do this week, Cancer. Your head may be telling you to speak up, but your heart is telling you to stay quiet for a little while longer. Leo, enjoy the noisiness around you this week. This extra hop in your step is refreshing and encourages you to make some bold moves that will pay off in the long run. Virgo, address an issue with a clear head this week. Your advice has been solicited, and you know how to help, but some subtlety is a good thing in this situation.

Libra, adopt an analytical approach to solve a puzzling situation at work this week. This way of looking at things is just what you need to find the right solution. Your imagination is ready to run wild this week, Scorpio. Enjoy this burst of creative energy and put it to good use. Encourage others to participate as well. Your mind is racing a mile a minute this week, Sagittarius. Things may be progressing so fast you can’t even finish one idea before moving on to the next one. Capricorn, express yourself when asked for your honest opinion this week. Keeping things close to the vest is not what people want to see, so don’t hesitate to offer your insight. Trust your intuition in a sticky situation, Aquarius. Panicking will only make the situation more complicated, so allow your instincts to take over. The time has come for you make your move, Pisces. You’re fully capable of making this transition and more than ready to do so.

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue
