Community – West-end residents were offered the possibility of another consultation during a public meeting with the Toronto developer of a high-profile Wellington Street West property. During a Dec. 12 meeting with Mizrahi Developments, residents from the area were told another sit-down would depend on what feedback the builder receives on its plan to construct a 12-storey condo at the northeast corner of Wellington and Island Park Drive. Mizrahi filed an Official Plan amendment, zoning bylaw amendment and site plan in late November, an unusual move in a city that is used to seeing site plans come much later.

introduced surrounding residents and community groups to the company’s intent, with the following months seeing private conversations occur between Mizrahi and those groups, as well as neighbouring residents on Garrison Street. Wellington West’s traditional main street designation is legally ensconced in the community’s secondary plan created only a few years ago, which limits heights to six stories, and nine in high-profile areas seen as a gateway to the community. That Mizrahi wanted to go higher – to 12 storeys – in order to garner a profit was made clear early in the process. The Dec. 12 meeting saw many attend who had just learned of the proposal through the site plan sign, plus returning residents looking for updates. See EARLY, page 4

Scott Street plan protects low-rise neighbourhoods Laura Mueller

News - In a new twist on a plan meant to spur development, the city’s planning committee approved plans that protect large areas of low-rise homes in Kitchissippi Ward. The community design plan for the Scott Street area encourages intensified development in

certain parts of Mechanicsville, North Hintonburg, Wellington Village, the Tunney’s Pasture federal complex, and the Parkdale Hub. The draft plan forbids up-zoning within low-rise residential neighbourhoods and designates Parkdale Avenue, Holland Avenue and Scott Street as secondary main streets, designed primarily for low-rise development.

The plan also puts an upper limit on building heights in the Parkdale Hub, while improving mobility for pedestrians and cyclists. Community design plans are touted by the city as a guiding hand to encourage and shape renewed builder interest in developing an area, with a view to promoting development rather than freezing a community in

Lansdowne history apps to be Carleton students’ next project Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Carleton University grad students have created a few fun digital ways to get to know the city’s historical landmarks. Over the past year, Carleton’s digital humanities department has worked closely with both architect and archive graduates to develop a mobile app called the Forgotten Worker Quest. Funded in part by Heritage Canada, the app is aimed at children age eight to 12 and offers a virtual taste of the life of an Irish immigrant worker from the early 1800s. “People can take a stroll down the canal and learn some history,” said Brian Greenspan, the Hyperlab’s founding director. The project focused on Confederation Park and the Rideau Canal. The Hyperlab students were in charge of creating a live, locative museum app, which asks users to gather tools, and learn about diseases, avoid explosions and malaria outbreaks all while attempting to complete various tasks. The group worked with the city’s Bytown Museum staff to gather information about appropriate artifacts for the app. Even though the game is made for children, Greenspan said anyone can go down to the canal and take on the quest. As far as creating active history lessons, Greenspan said this app is just the beginning – up next is a project centred on Lansdowne Park. “It’s a huge site that’s been so important to the community,” Greenspan said. “You name it and it has such an important influence for history. And now, my main concern is this once public land is being handed over for private interest.” It may only in be an opportunity to view the historic site in a virtual sense, but Greenspan said this project could give a portion of Lansdowne back to the community. “It will be a way to make the space available again,” he said. The professor said he would like to make the project one that includes history as well as a “what could have been” aspect of the site, adding that this way, people can visualize what Lansdowne Park could look like in 50, 100 or even 150 years. “We are planning on making it an open interface, to make it collaborative,” he said. The app will be designed as a portal, so at some point the community can participate in helping expand the structure of the app. The design space for the students is quite a comfy one, with the lab itself including a game room, a computer lab station and reading room. He added, unlike a lot of graduate studies, this lab allows students to work together, in what would otherwise be lonely thesis study. “Basically students can bounce

ideas off each other,” Greenspan said. The lab, he said, offers a space for students to study the impact computer technology has on humans – including gaming, mobile apps, computer programs and gaming accessories, including Garage Band guitars, steering wheels and light sabers. “Typically when you are playing computer games, there is a tug of war struggle between emersion and interactivity,” Greenspan said. “Designers want to find the perfect balance. That is what we study here.” Graduates also study the impact

storytelling has had in a computerage society. “It’s the human side of a digital world,” Greenspan explains. “Everything from how a story travels over different platforms to different modes of storytelling.” Funding for the Lansdowne Park project is still unknown, but Greenspan said he hopes to get started on the project sometime in the new year. Tourists, residents alike are welcome to take the Forgotten Worker Quest by visiting www.passageshistoriques-heritagepassages.ca/angeng/application_mobile-mobile_application on a mobile device.

Early, continued consultation gets nod from residents “The room was split, with about 50 per cent in favour (of the proposal),” said Geoffrey Hall, planning advisor to Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs. “There were still concerns from people regarding

traffic.” Hall said feedback received from residents already involved in the process was more supportive of the project. “It’s a very interesting case,” he said. Going into the meeting,

tion’s statement read. “But, we want to be very clear that (it) is our preferred option that the developer respect the CDP which has just recently taken effect. This is the same CDP that the WVCA, Councillor Hobbs and City Council supported.” The property bought by Mizrahi includes the green space on the corner (which will be expanded into a parkette and maintained at the developer’s expense), Bella’s Restaurant, and the Proshine car wash. In the past, developers have tried to initiate a development on the car wash site, but none of those attempts went anywhere. Lorne Cutler, president of the Hampton Iona Community Group which represents the neighbourhood immediately across Island Park from the street corner in question, said the developer’s willingness to consult with residents was a refreshing change. “We had our annual general meeting in late November, and wanted (the developer) to explain the project for us,” recalled Cutler. “Sam

Mizrahi flew in from Toronto for it – during a snowstorm .They have done far more than any other developer that I’ve seen.” Mizrahi’s rationale for the extra height is that the decontamination of the polluted property would be expensive, and that it would take 135,000 square feet of residential and retail space to make the project financially viable. They have claimed that if the neighbouring communities are not on board with the proposal, they will walk away from the property. Prior to the Dec. 12 meeting, Mizrahi commissioned an Ottawa architect – Rod Lahey – to draw up plans for a building that contained the same amount of space in a building of just 10 storeys. Residents were asked to choose between that and the original 12-storey proposal. “A shadow study conducted on both made the case that they both had pretty much the same impact,” said Cutler. “The (12-storey building) had much wider setbacks with landscaping, and different ar-

chitectural finishes. Everyone who saw them preferred the taller building.” A strong sentiment exists that feels Mizrahi is the only developer who could make that site something special, considering others have failed, he said. Unlike past proposals, having the Bella’s property included in the current plan means vehicles can enter and exit the site far enough away from the Island Park intersection to make traffic flow less problematic, at least from a site plan perspective. With the necessary applications submitted only last month, it will be months before the proposal goes before the city’s planning committee. Between then and now, residents are encouraged to provide feedback, while city staff will compile a report. Any community meeting – should it be decided to have one – would likely occur in February. While Hall said Mizrahi would like to have the plan go before the city in March, April seems more likely.

Lowertown site tapped for new affordable housing michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - After years of remaining vacant and boarded up, the city and Ottawa Community Housing revealed plans to build a sleek new multi-million dollar building on the site of a semi-detached home at the corner of Old St. Patrick Street. Owned by Ottawa Community Housing, 454-456 Old St. Patrick will turn from a derelict home into a grey brick design that will welcome 10 families to the Lowertown east neighbourhood. “By investing in safe, affordable and accessible housing we save money in healthcare, emergency services and the justice system” said Bay Coun. Mark Taylor, chairman of the community and protective services board. The $2.53 million project is funded in part with a contribution of $1.3 million from the city’s 10-year housing and homelessness plan. “While most of Ottawa enjoys a good standard of living, it is important to remember the 140,000 that live below the poverty line” said Mayor Jim Watson. “These include children, the elderly and persons living with special needs. We must ensure that we are not balancing our books on the backs of society’s most vulnerable and the City of Ottawa has shown that this can be done.” The semi-detached house currently on the property has remained vacant since a 2010 earthquake badly damaged the building’s foundation. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury has consistently supported the proposal to build a 10-unit complex, adding more housing stock for the 10,000 people waiting for affordable units in the city. The event also offered an opportunity for city councillors to say goodbye to Ottawa Community Housing’s outgoing chief executive officer JoAnne Poirier. “During her tenure she has skilfully managed our $2 billion housing portfolio, set us on the path for long term financial sustainability and improved the quality of life for our 32,000 residents,” Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, chairwoman of the Ottawa Community Housing Corporation. “She has left an indelible mark on our city and we are truly grateful.” Poirier, whose last day on the job was Dec. 19, said she will miss the community, staff and city council members she has worked alongside for the past six years. “I felt OCH was in good shape and that we have very engaged tenants and a good board,” Poirier said. “I am going to miss the people. I have made a lot of friends and what we have done collectively has made a difference.” Poirier has turned her attention to a new position at the Victorian Order of Nurses in the new year. She said she does however wish to work closely with the organization in the future. “I will be looking at strengthening the ties between community housing and home health care,” Poirier said. It has been a busy last two months

for Poirier – in addition to the 10 units announced in December, the organization also made 27 units in the Carson Grove neighbourhood available in November. “I find it very rewarding,” Poirier said about the addition to OCH’s ownership. Aside from being a part of helping add affordable housing to the city’s stock, a new smoke-free policy has been established for OCH buildings. The organization provides housing to 32,000 residents in the city and the new policy will see new tenants sign a non-smoking policy on OCH property, and ask current tenants to voluntarily comply. “Over the years we have received more and more second-hand smoke complaints,” Poirier said. “I am proud of the journey we have made on the consultation process. I think implementing the policy will take a long time, but I also think it is where the

As part of the two-year consultation process, the organization released a survey, which 21 per cent of households responded to. The survey revealed that 69 per cent of its respondents supported a smoke-free living

environment and 78 per cent said they do not smoke in their homes. Poirier said getting all tenants to live in a smoke-free environment may be a long way off, but this policy is the start.

Study could look at making a ‘friendlier’ Merivale Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - A study of commercial building densities on Merivale Road could trigger its transformation into a main street, if city councillors get their way. The city is already undertaking a housekeeping study to look at the proper amount of homes and jobs that Merivale Road should accommodate. In addition to that, Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli was successful in getting his fellow city councillors’ support on a motion to include input about street-renewal opportunities as part of that density study on Nov. 26. Egli said nearby residents are getting antsy about what might crop up on the only remaining vacant portion of Merivale, referred to as the “triangle.” The plot at the corner of Clyde Avenue sits empty after a 2010 fire forced the demolition of the old CJOH TV station building. “That’s how it started – basically the community saying ‘We have concerns about Merivale, we have concerns about the triangle and what might happen there.’” Discussing what could move onto the property led to residents talking about what they’d like Merivale Road to look like in the future, Egli said. That led to discussions about

LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND

A study of commercial and residential density in the Merivale Road area could lead to a broader discussion about making the street a friendlier environment for pedestrians and cyclists, says KnoxdaleMerivale Coun. Keith Egli. the kind of street the road could become. The city considering a five-year update of its transportation blueprint was also timely, because it got residents to think about how the design of the street affects what it’s like to live, travel or operate a business there. “More feedback came in through this process saying ‘We want to talk

more about cycling, we want to talk more about more of a main street kind of approach to it,’” Egli said. All those concerns came together at the right time to push the city to look at zoning for Merivale Road in a more comprehensive way, the councillor said. Ostensibly, the study is simply a housekeeping matter to ensure the zoning along Merivale actually al-

lows development to accommodate the density target for the street – 120 residents and jobs per hectare, said Carol Ruddy, the city planner in charge of the study. “(We want to) ensure that you’ve got the floor space needed to reach those targets,” she said. If the zoning wouldn’t allow for enough density, the study might lead to rezoning properties along Merivale Road, Ruddy said. Similar studies will be undertaken for many of the city’s commercial main streets in 2014, she added. “I’m anticipating tweaks,” to the zoning, Ruddy said – not big changes. But when the results of that study – no matter how minor – go to the planning committee and possibly the transportation committee, it will open an opportunity for councillors to use their clout to push for additional attention on Merivale Road, said College Coun. Rick Chiarelli. Merivale is “not a friendly environment,” Ruddy said. Although it’s a simple technical study, some interesting things could end up coming out of it, she added. Although it’s maligned as a congested, esthetically unappealing caroriented retail strip, Egli said Merivale serves an important function as a centre for commerce. Chiarelli likened the issue to a

Yogi Berra quote: “Nobody goes there anymore – it’s too crowded.” “Over and above that, there are communities along Merivale,” said Egli. “For them, in a lot of ways, that is their main street. That is where they do their shopping and that is where they go out to a restaurant. It’s well used.” Adding more residents along Merivale will boost the customer base for area businesses without adding to traffic congestion, Chiarelli said. But residents say it could stand to be a more comfortable and welcoming area to walk in, Egli said. “Merivale is a challenge,” he said. When rare commercial redevelopment projects come up, like the Claridge condos on Merivale at Basil Macdonald Way, the city works with the developer to find ways to make the building enhance the streetscape. “Animating the street” but requiring businesses on the first floor of the tower helps create energy and activity along the street’s edge, Egli said. “Something so that when you’re walking by, your eye is attracted and it draws you in,” he said. “We’re working on those things.” The density study will take three to six months to complete, Ruddy said. Any proposed zoning changes would need the approval of the planning committee and city council.

‘Literal line in the sand’ Continued from page 1

“Communities, in their cores, will basically look the same a generation from now as they do now,” Hobbs said. “This defines the literal line in the sand.” James McRae of the Mechanicsville Community Association sat on the public advisory committee that worked on the plan and liked both the process and the result. McRae said he liked the emphasis placed on defining where there are opportunities for intensification and where stable neighbourhoods should be protected.

“Draw that neighbourhood line on every map so it burns into your brain,” Dark said as a warning to developers. “If you want to buy land speculatively, don’t look inside the red boxes.” But that red neighbourhood line doesn’t include townhomes at Holland Station, built 15 years ago and now slated to be in the shadow of taller, transit-oriented buildings near the future light rail station. Rita Lepage said the community design plan makes townhome owners like her feel like they’re not allowed to be there. “We do exist and we deserve some consideration,” she said. Lepage and other residents from Holland Station came to make their case to the planning committee, but no changes were made to the plan. Linda Hoad of the Hintonburg Community Association said there are still some holes in the plan in her opinion, due to an “impossible and artificial” one-year deadline to complete the plan. Due to the number of new concerns that were brought up during the planning committee meeting, councillors directed city staff to work with the delegates and bring forward any amendments to the plan before it is considered by city council on Jan. 22. “The target is still moving, since all kinds of discussions will be taking place between now and the 21st of January,” Hoad said.

Child poverty is everyone’s responsibility

ust before Christmas, federal Industry Minister James Moore found himself apologizing for some comments he made about child poverty on a Vancouver radio show. In the interview that triggered controversy, the MP for Port Moody-WestwoodPort Coquitlam was asked a question about a new report that found B.C. has the worst child poverty rates in Canada. Moore answered as follows: “We’ve never been wealthier as a country than we are right now.” “Certainly, we want to make sure that kids go to school full-bellied, but is that always the government’s job to be there to serve people their breakfast? Empowering families with more power and resources so they can feed their own children, I think is a good thing. “The government … is it my job to feed my neighbour’s child? I don’t think so.” In his apology, Moore admitted his comments – which he believed were taken out of context – were insensitive. Unfortunately, the off-thecuff response reveals much about the pass-the-buck mentality around poverty in this country. That they came from a Conservative cabinet minister highlights something that’s represented in much of federal policy these days – outright hostility toward the collective, the working class and the working poor – in

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse other words, the majority of people in this country. The government is far from empowering families. Over the past seven years, with Conservatives at the helm, we’ve seen a steady erosion of salaried positions with benefits, at the same time the cost of living has skyrocketed. From food inflation to a peak in housing costs, no measures have been put in place to give us the resources to feed our own children. Nevermind that the government is bracing for a full-fledged attack on federal public service unions in 2014. It’s a harkening back to the overt class warfare launched by Margaret Thatcher in 1970s Britain. And it’s not going to be pretty. All the while, kids are starving in this country. Lots of them. It’s estimated that between 13 and 15 per cent of children live in poverty, a number that has increased since the late 1990s.

The Conference Board of Canada’s annual report card of countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, found

Canada ranks 15th out of 17 peer countries for its handling of child poverty. “In 1989, the Canadian House of Commons unanimously resolved to eliminate child poverty by the year 2000,” writes the Conference Board. “And there was some initial success; the child poverty rate fell from 15.8 per cent in the mid-1980s to 12.8 in the mid-1990s. Since then, however, the rate has increased – to 15.1 per cent

in the late 2000s – reversing earlier progress.” This is a shameful statistic, considering, in Moore’s words, “We’ve never been wealthier as a country.” Moore is technically correct to suggest that school breakfast programs and many other poverty-fighting measures fall under the jurisdiction of the provinces. But the fact that the Conservative government is not only complacent, but hostile,

about child poverty measures is cause for concern. Kids that live in poverty will have poorer health and education outcomes than those who don’t. They are also more prone to mental illness and behavioural issues. If one in six children in my kids’ classrooms is going to school without breakfast, it is definitely my responsibility to feed them, and at least part of that should be through our tax dollars. Because the government – much as it likes to think of itself as a business – is there to level the playing field and make this a great country for all of us.

Another good year

he year 2013 has been many things. Here in Ottawa, it has been a year of new beginnings. A stadium is in the works, tunnels are bored beneath the streets, two new sporting institutions are taking shape, and official plans have been ratified to guide our city into the future. It was a year of a terrible tragedy, when the lives of six people were lost during a horrific bus crash near the Fallowfield Transitway station. Dozens were injured. We can only hope that the lessons learned from that tragic moment in time will help us prevent such a thing from ever happening again. It has been a year of controversy. Daniel Alfredsson snuck out of town in the middle of the night. Tall towers have been planned and opposed, heritage has been preserved and destroyed, buses have been diverted, highways constricted by construction. Bridges have been delayed, bridges have been abandoned, and bridges have been mired in mismanagement. It was a bad year for bridges. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a particularly good year for electronic bus passes either. It has been a year of consistency. Winter was cold, summer was steamy and property tax increases were kept to a minimum. Bluesfest still rocked. Our mayor still managed to appear at every pancake

breakfast and barbecue he could. Elsewhere, political uncertainty and scandal were hallmarks of 2013. Ontario witnessed the arrival of Kathleen Wynne as premier. She has been dogged by the legacy of her predecessor, and Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park has teetered on the brink of an election ever since. On Parliament Hill, things havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been much different. The Senate expense scandal has gobbled up great chunks of time in both the red chamber and House of Commons. When it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the trials and tribulations of Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau leading the evening news or topping the front pages, there was always Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rob Ford there to fill the vacuum. Yet through it all, Ottawa has a great deal to be thankful for. Despite federal public service job cuts, the city is still faring better economically than many across the province. The light rail system currently under construction will revolutionize transit and spur development across the city. Ottawa is a wonderfully green city, with parks and open spaces easily accessible to all who live here. It is a vibrant city, with culture to spare for those who wish to seek it out. The past year has been many things, but it has proven once again how fortunate we are to live in the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital.

The heartwarming technology of Christmas

he technology is lining up pretty well for Christmas this year. Santaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helpers at the mall will, for a small fee, put your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s photo with the big guy on a flash drive for you. So thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that worry taken care of. It needs hardly to be said that online shopping grows every year. People donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to go out to be among other people, except to get their flash drives from Santaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helpers. Also, the word has just come in that it is now possible to buy Christmas trees online. Home Depot in the U.S. has put trees on its website. Ikea sells them in Britain and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another big company in Sweden that does it too. Meanwhile, Amazon is working on a delivery drone. This is a great relief to those people who thought they might have to go out of the house this season and interact with other people. And thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this other advantage, found in a newspaper quote from a happy California online tree shopper â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;no needles in the car!â&#x20AC;? Yes. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a drag at this time of year to have a car that smells like Christmas trees. It reminds you of, well, Christmas. So things are moving right along.

This may have to do with the fact that every adult they know now has a camera, often disguised as a phone, and the children are constantly forced to pose. And now they have to stand in line in the mall so that their parents can get them and Santa on a flash drive so that they can email photos instead of writing Christmas cards. But you know, progress is inevitable. Some day it will possible to have robots that will look like children and be more co-operative in front of cameras.

put a man on the moon, we can fix this. Which leads us, reluctantly, to the following heart-warming Christmas story. The Christmas Drone It had been a difficult day and Bob was wondering whether this might turn out to be the worst Christmas ever. First the children had, for the fourth visit in a row, refused to have their picture taken with Santa. There would be no flash drive this Christmas. Then the outdoor Christmas lights refused to turn on automatically, which meant that Bob had to go outside to flip a switch. Then the WiFi went down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh no!â&#x20AC;? cried Bob. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How will I finish my Christmas shopping?â&#x20AC;? The Christmas cards were all stuck in the community mailbox with care and the Christmas tree he had ordered online was nowhere in sight. When all of a sudden there arose such a clatter on the roof that Bob wondered he would have to get new insulation. But he sprang out of his house to see what was the matter, hoping he could remember the access code to get back in, and lo and behold his eyes beheld a tiny little airplane. He was hoping that the tiny little airplane could talk, otherwise it would be difficult to

tell the rest of the story. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where did you come from?â&#x20AC;? he asked the tiny little airplane. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m The Christmas Drone,â&#x20AC;? the tiny little airplane said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I come from Amazon to bring presents to all the little children of the world and their lazy parents.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Did you bring my Christmas tree?â&#x20AC;? Bob asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not my job,â&#x20AC;? the Christmas Drone said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Ikea drone should be along any minute.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will be the happiest Christmas ever!â&#x20AC;? said Bob, although, to tell the truth, he was getting a bit tired of the clatter on the rooftop.

YEAR IN REVIEW

Connected to your community

Ottawa West News looks back at 2013 The year 2013 will go down in history as the Year of Planning for many residents of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s west end. No fewer than four community design plans were in play, from the Scott Street corridor, to the currently-empty Bayview Yards, the Gladstone district and Carling-Preston area. Aimed at guiding the development of those areas over the next couple of decades, the CDPs required extensive community input and reaction over the course of many months. Intensification pressures were felt most notably in Hintonburg, where residents mounted opposition to several proposed condo towers in the once-overlooked, currentlytrendy community.

January

n advance of a report expected to be a major step in planning the future redevelopment of the Bayview Yards site, community members wanted to get in on the ground ďŹ&#x201A;oor. The report stemmed from a 2005 planning study that sought to determine what form the mixed-use development could take. The 6.5-hectare former rail yard straddles the area north of Scott Street between Bayview Avenue and Lebreton Flats, and includes the Bayview O-Train and Transitway stations. With any redevelopment still years away, community members want to use the reportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s release as a starting point to gain protective heritage status for the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only existing building â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 7 Bayview Ave. Located across from Laroche Park, the three-storey building that once housed Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Public Works operations is still owned by the city. Though the city has no plans to sell it, many community members want its protected status to be made ofďŹ cial before wider talks on potential uses for the site begin.

Thick fog made for a murky walk through the Central Experimental Farm on the afternoon of Jan. 13. Above average temperatures over the weekend interacted with the significant amount of snow on the ground to create the spooky conditions. This week will see a return to seasonal â&#x20AC;&#x201C; meaning chilly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; January temperatures across the region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The report has more to do with the adaptive uses of existing properties,â&#x20AC;? said Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs, adding that its release will likely kick off the heritage designation process for 7 Bayview.

ith developers expressing increasing interest in land near the CarlingPreston intersection, the city sought to guide growth by way of a development model. Consultant George Dark â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a partner with Urban Strategies of Toronto â&#x20AC;&#x201C; released a tentative vision for the area in January, the product of two days of meetings and talks with local residents and an earlier collaborative design process in September 2012. The plan is being created in tandem with two other community design plans to the north of the area: the Bayview Station district and Gladstone

Station district, which covers the remaining area in the Preston Street/O-Train corridor. The borders of the PrestonCarling district are Highway 417 to the north and Dowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lake to the south, Loretta Avenue to the west and Booth Street to the east. The Dark plan delves into speciďŹ c land use and building heights. It shows mixed-use development up to 40 storeys adjacent to the O-Train station on blocks fronting onto Carling. Residential development of up to 25 storeys would be allowed between Champagne Avenue and the O-Train tracks, from Carling to Ev Tremblay Park. The west side of Rochester Street would accommodate 18-storey buildings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The row of high-rises proposed along Rochester â&#x20AC;Ś are poorly justiďŹ ed and need better rationale than they have now,â&#x20AC;? said Dalhousie Com-

munity Association president Eric Darwin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Overall, it is a good (plan) once a few of the worst points are removed.â&#x20AC;?

third version of a controversial development proposal was ďŹ led for a property near the Parkdale Market, but members of the surrounding community saw it as more of the same. The zoning bylaw amendment application ďŹ led by Tega Homes concerned an 18-storey mixed-use building proposed for 233 Armstrong St. and 3 Hamilton Ave., sites located to the west and north of the venerable Carleton Tavern. It was the third time a proposal had been considered for the site; the ďŹ rst being a controversial 36-storey proposal submitted in 2011, the second being an eight and 18-storey tower combination ďŹ led the following year. The newest

proposal called for a building of eight storeys to wrap around the north and west sides of the block, with an 18storey portion rising from the northwest corner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same 18-and-eight proposal, but (the developer has) shifted the taller tower away from the street,â&#x20AC;? said Jeff Leiper, president of the Hintonburg Community Association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made any difference to us; for all intents and purposes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same proposal. We stick to what we feel is very speciďŹ c wording in the community design plan, which states a maximum building height of eight storeys. Our position hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re adamantly opposed.â&#x20AC;?

he mood inside the Invest Ottawa ofďŹ ce on Aberdeen Street was jubilant on Jan. 24, as provincial repre-

sentatives announced crucial funding for a new innovation complex at Bayview Yards. A day after Ottawa city council unanimously approved moving ahead with the project, the province pledged $15 million in seed money for the construction of the complex. The announcement represented a key ďŹ rst step in the development of the longabandoned, 6.7-hectare property and would be a signiďŹ cant boost for the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic development efforts. Bruce Lazenby, president and chief executive of Invest Ottawa, quoted baseball great Yogi Berra by saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like deja-vu all over again.â&#x20AC;? Shortly after taking the helm of Invest Ottawa, formerly the Ottawa Centre for Research and Innovation, Lazenby toured a state-of-the art innovation complex in Kitchener-Waterloo and walked away impressed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Driving away, I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We have to have one of these,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never thought in a million years it would happen so fast.â&#x20AC;? The project hinged on ďŹ nding provincial funding, which would represent half of the ďŹ nal cost of the facility.

Crews detonate an explosive charge on the Rideau River near Green Island and Sussex Drive on the first weekend in March, part of annual ice-breaking operations designed to prevent springtime flooding. Many passers-by stopped to watch the explosive activities from walking paths in New Edinburgh Park.

Ottawa West News EMC - Thursday, December 26, 2013

The nine-storey building, which would contain 72 rental units and 900 square metres of ground floor retail space, would be located next to the Richmond Plaza Motel and adjacent to the LCBO and a gas station Residents aired their concerns during a Feb. 7 pre-consultation open house, which was attended by a city planner and First Capital representative Vince Colizza of Vincent P. Colizza Architects. Colizza said the proposal had been changed from six storeys to nine storeys “at the eleventh hour” after the company crunched numbers relating to rental rates. Given that the lot, located along a traditional main street, is zoned for four stories, height became a factor in the discussion. “When you previously asked to meet with community groups, (the proposal) was a six-storey building,” said Westboro Community Association president Gary Ludington. “Why has there been a change to a new height? It’s a major change.” Colizza said financial viability was behind the change.

eer is big in Ottawa, and it recently found a high-profile new venue. The inauguralWinterBrewed festival, held on Sparks Street, was the latest craft-brewed beer event in Ottawa’s increasingly active brewing scene. Food, local brews, and winter activities all came together on the historic pedestrian mall, supported and organized by the Sparks

Street Business Improvement Area, the team from National Capital Craft Beer Week, and Winterlude. The two-day event also served to mark the 200th anniversary of craft brewing in the Ottawa area. Due to its proximity to the Rideau Canal and the activities of Confederation Park during the last weekend of Winterlude, the tourist draw to the event was big. Big Rig brewmaster Lon Ladell reflected on the evolving brewing scene in the Ottawa region. “I think Ottawa’s finally catching up to some of the other cities in Canada, and opening up its taste buds to craft beer,” said Ladell, adding, “The turnout today’s been fantastic – we’re getting great reception from the community.”

he investigation of a suspicious package at the Tom Brown Arena led to a miserable trip home for thousands of westbound commuters on Feb. 19. The subsequent late afternoon closure of both Scott Street and the Transitway in the vicinity of Bayview Station caused vehicle and bus traffic to be funneled down Somerset Street and Wellington Street West between Lebreton Station and Tunney’s Pasture. O-Train service was also suspended at Bayview. The sudden re-routing, coupled with the onset of rush hour and a ill-timed snowstorm, led to hours of gridlock in the affected areas and made for the unusual sight of numerous suburban route double-decker OC

Transpo buses inching though the centre of Hintonburg. As Bayview Street was also closed between Scott and Wellington, some confused motorists could be seen driving their vehicles through the non-vehicular intersection of Somerset and Wellington. Ottawa police lifted the road closures after announcing the resolution of the situation. “It is believed that the contents of the package were pyrotechnics or energy type devices and have been successfully detonated by the Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosives (CBRNE) team,” police said in a statement issued later that day.

he city planned an economic development pilot project for a stretch of Carling Avenue, but first asked residents what they’d like to see. A much smaller project than the one slated for Orleans, the Carling Avenue pilot would look at stimulating job creation on the largely retail strip of roadway bracketed by Bayshore Drive and Pinecrest Road. Participants in a Feb. 20 open house posed a number of thoughtful questions to city representatives, against a backdrop of concerns that too much change could push people out of the community. The city mapped out the boundaries of the economic development initiative as being located north of Carling, from Maplehurst Avenue to Doane Street, and south of Carling from the Coliseum theatre property to Grenon Avenue.

n an ironic twist brought on by Mother Nature, traffic was barely moving as residents reviewed planned upgrades aimed at reducing speeds and increasing cycling safety on Bronson Avenue. An open house held at Carleton University on a snowy Feb. 27 gave the public a first look at recommendations stemming from the Bronson Avenue operational study and safety review. The review was initiated by Capital Coun. David Chernushenko following the October death of Carleton student and cyclist Krista Johnson near the Bronson Avenue canal bridge. Broken up into short-term and medium-term fixes, the recommendations were put into a staff report containing public feedback and presented to the city’s transportation committee in April. “This is about making Bronson safer and calmer and not just a better

place to cycle,” said Chernushenko. “There’s been a very, very positive response.” Problem areas listed in the review’s findings include vehicle speed on the stretch of Bronson south of Sunnyside Avenue, the pedestrian crosswalk at Sunnyside, vehicle turning lanes entering the Carleton campus, and the turning lanes on both sides of the Bronson canal bridge.

rowing enrolment at public schools in the Hintonburg area led the public school board to adopt measures to alleviate overcrowding. Following an all-trustee decision made at a March 5 committee of the whole meeting, junior kindergarten students at Devonshire will be moved to Connaught Public School for the coming school year. However, the decision was an interim measure, affecting only the 2013-2014 school year. The public continued to seek a longer-term solution. A report brought to the meeting outlined the findings of the near west accommodation review and listed suggestions on how to take pressure off both schools during the 2013-2014 school year.

Creating a Laroche Park for next generation

he release of the draft Bayview Station community design plan on March 5 garnered guarded approval from community representatives. Community leaders in the neighbourhoods closest to the Bayview Yards and City Centre sites (both areas comprise the CDP) said the city is thinking along the right lines with its plan, though the proof will be in how the area actually transforms through private development applications. Hintonburg Community Association president Jeff Leiper approved of the land use outlined in the plan. “This is moving in a really positive direction,” said Leiper, who worked with then-mayor Bob Chiarelli to initiate the original plan in 2005. “Generally, the plan reflects a mainstream understanding of what should happen on that site – it’s a mixed-use site that should include commercial and residential (development).”

Staff consulted with a working group made up of parents and community members to find a solution that offered the least disruption to students. However, parents of Devonshire students were disappointed and somewhat confused by the board’s decision, as they had supported the idea of moving Grade 6 students to Fisher Park Public School, which already hosts grades 7 and 8. “A lot of the schools in the area are crowded, mostly because of the (popularity of) early French immersion programs,” said Nicole McGill, parent of a Devonshire student and president of the board of directors of the third-party-run Devonshire School Aged Program.

est-end communities most affected by LRT construction had some success in their search for answers related to impact of traffic on the project. When Transitway buses are diverted to surface roads during construction of the western end of the LRT, tentatively scheduled for the 2016-18 period, adjacent neighbourhoods will bear the brunt of the added traffic. In response to an inquiry from the Hintonburg Community Association, a meeting was held last week that brought community groups in contact with city officials and representatives of the LRT implementation office and Rideau Transit Group. “It’s a lot of buses and we consider it unacceptable that they would all be dumped on Scott Street,” said association president Jeff Leiper. During the conversion of the Transitway from a roadway to a rail bed, all buses would have to leave Tunney’s Pasture on surface streets, with Scott being the obvious east-west route of choice. Alternatives exist to help lessen the burden, said Leiper.

West-end communities fight back against violence, stigma Continued from page 13

May

fter a hard-fought struggle to get through a persistent winter, Ottawans took to the outdoors in droves at the beginning of May, soaking up sun and temperatures exceeding 20 C. However, along the Ottawa River the ground was having trouble soaking up high water that spilled over the banks in several places. Several sections of the Ottawa River pathway were flooded between Tunney’s Pasture and the Champlain Bridge, causing cyclists and runners to portage along the parkway embankment. In low-lying Britannia Village, flood gates were up while parts of Britannia Park were under water near the Ron Kolbus Centre. After three unusually mild winters, 2013’s

snow and cold temperatures provided a reminder to property owners that weather -and water levels -- can fluctuate greatly. The spring saw two water level peaks on the lower Ottawa of 59.73 metres, according to the Environment Canada depth gauge in Britannia Bay. The average spring flood was 58.8 metres.

was shot to death in a Ritchie Street townhouse in the early morning hours of May 15, with gang members suspected of being responsible. Adjokatcher was not in a gang, but reportedly had contact with people who were. The killing rattled nearby residents and served to cast a bad light on a neighbourhood that was already stigmatized. Nora Elmi, 20, had lived in the community for nine years and, like many others, came to the meeting to see if more could be done to address the main issues. “I feel pretty comfortable here just because I know the community and I’m active in the community,” said Elmi. “I feel every community has its problems, so it doesn’t necessarily scare me, but it would be good to do something about it, because there are a lot of little kids growing up here.”

here were many questions but few answers at a community meeting held in Michele Heights, prompted by the shooting death of a young man earlier in the month. Residents of Michele Heights, Britannia Woods and surrounding neighbourhoods joined with community partners to discuss the incident on May 27 and to look for ways of improving the situation of those living in the area while preventing further violence. Malik Adjokatcher, 24,

he Bank Street Promenade moniker was kicked to the curb as the strip’s business improvement area prepared to put a new face on the district. The 1980s branding, which the Bank Street BIA admittedly never liked, will be removed and, along with a spruced-up streetscape, will be replaced with the slogan “Downtown. At the intersection of everything.” A new logo, a host of seasonal-themed promotional posters, and a determined BIA staff would conspire to lure shoppers into Bank Street businesses. “Because of the new condos moving in, there is a much younger demographic, (and) we’re trying to cater to that group,” Suzanne Racine, assistant director for the Bank Street BIA.

Under the city’s Official Plan, the mainly residential and low-rise neighbourhood was designated as a mixeduse centre, providing the rationale for future high-density developments. Dark asked residents what direction they want their neighbourhood to go in and what aspects of the

area they are willing to see change. “A mixed-use centre is a place that you expect developers to change,” said Dark. “That raises the big question – whether this (zoning) should be removed from the Official Plan. Residents were eager to do just that, and by the end of the meeting had agreed to do whatever was needed to keep the centre of the community lowrise.

Ottawa firm gives solar power a jolt Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - A local energy startup received a boost from the province’s Innovation Demonstration Fund on Dec. 18. Solantro Semiconductor Corporation, based in Nepean, received $4 million for the production of chipset that will make solar panels and other small power generators more efficient, thereby adding more power to the grid. Unlike chips that process information, the chips process power and turn electrical grids into smart networks. Bob Chiarelli, the provincial energy minister and the MPP for Ottawa West-Nepean, said the renewable energy sector has improved the economy and created job growth in the province over the last six years. “Ontario’s green energy strategy has attracted private sector investment and has helped to create over 31,000 jobs in the province,” he said, adding Solantro’s flagship product will make big changes in the industry. Chiarelli said the province has more than 3,500 megawatts of renewable energy in the grid and over the course of the next 10 or 11

months there will be 3,700 more megawatts connected. “Ontario is a Canadian leader when it comes to solar energy. There are 900 megawatts of solar capacity online, which is enough electricity 100,000 homes annually,” he said. CEO and founder Antoine Paquin said the chipsets wring more power out of solar energy. “We are in pretty good shape with the grid in Ontario,” he said. “But it could revolutionize things for the 400 million living without electricity in India.” “Solantro is an excellent candidate for this funding because they are making advancements all across the spectrum in the energy sector, whether it’s in storage, smart grid or solar panels,” he said. The Innovation Demonstration Fund is administered by the Ministry of Economic Development and Innovation. The fund is designed to help Ontario companies with emerging technology – preferably in green energy – to compete in the commercial market. The funding to Solantro will allow for large scale production of the chipsets and will create 20 new jobs in Ottawa.

Lincoln’s MKC Moves

from Concept to Production

by Brian Turner

Lincoln marked another milestone recently in its journey to compete decisively in the prestige and luxury market with the all-new 2015 MKC SPV (Small Premium Utility Vehicle). The Lincoln design team faced the dual challenge of meeting the ever-changing demands of younger luxury vehicle consumers while further defining the Lincoln design DNA. The MKC Concept, which was revealed to the public at the 2013 North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January, introduced a uniquely crafted wraparound lift-gate, a design feature that carried over to the production model. Its side-cut design gives MKC an uninterrupted rear-view to epitomize elegance, while its hands-free feature is another example of Lincoln’s commitment to build customer-friendly vehicles. Those aspirations also carry through to the interior, where the merging of craftsmanship and technology combine to offer a warm, luxurious environment. Featuring an architecturally unique instrument panel that showcases Lincoln’s signature push-button gear shifter, MKC creates an open, welcoming interior. Inviting leathers and available Bridge of Weir leather and real-wood trim accentuate

MKC’s elegance and grace. “We gave attention to every detail to convey a stylish, luxurious vehicle,” said Soo Kang, Lincoln interior design chief. “The structure of the interior allows for openness, and that space contributes to the overall ambience. We want this vehicle to not only meet but often exceed the expectations of the new Lincoln customer.” “We’re confident we’ve created an allnew vehicle that will attract new customers to the brand while meeting the expectations of long-time Lincoln drivers,” said Max Wolff, director, Lincoln Design. “The execution of the new liftgate is a prime example of how a signature premium design element can create a better customer experience.” In the 2015 MKC, Lincoln will introduce a series of customer-focused comfort features they call ‘Lincoln Experiences’. Systems such as ‘Approach Detection’ will allow the MKC to respond to an approaching owner (identified by the key in his or her possession) and illuminate the ground near the doors and in the outer door handle pockets for easier and safer entry. A communication system will allow drivers to interact with the vehicle remotely using the

smart phone-enabled MyLincoln Mobile app. An embedded modem on each vehicle communicates with the app which allows owners to start, lock, unlock and locate the vehicle. Drivers also can use the app to perform a variety of other functions such as place a call for roadside assistance; monitor the vehicle’s fuel level; check the tire pressure and battery status; and program engine start times. .“Lincoln Experiences are about creating a warm, personal driving experience every time a Lincoln owner approaches their vehicle,” said Matt VanDyke, Director, Global Lincoln. “Today’s premium car buyer is more demanding than ever. Our goal is to create vehicles that not only meet those evolving demands, but exceed them and redefine what the luxury car-buying and driving experience should be.” Production of the all-new 2015 Lincoln MKC is slated to begin in the second quarter of 2014 at the Louisville Assembly Plant in Louisville, Ky. Vehicles will begin arriving to Lincoln dealerships next summer. Canadian pricing has been announced, starting at $39,940.

Full Service Mechanical Wheel Alignments Tire Sales, Installation and Balancing

by Brian Turner

What few people outside of the auto repair business know is that in order to run a successful body-shop like CARSTAR Kanata, a complete and effective support system must be in place to deal with the mechanical, electrical, and electronics components of a modern vehicle in order to return it to like-new condition after a collision. To that end, Yvon Allard has recruited and trained an elite team of automotive specialists and has installed all the equipment needed to successfully deal with the technology-laden vehicles that roll down our roads today. This team continually receives training and updates to keep them on top of emerging vehicle design and manufacturing trends for all makes and models.

So it was a natural progression for CARSTAR Kanata to offer a full menu of maintenance and mechanical repair services for those car owners seeking an affordable and reliable service provider without having the need for a collision repair service. Now Yvon’s customers can get just about any required service from a quick and thorough oil change to a brake-system overhaul to an airconditioning recharge and so much more without having to deal multiple shops and long waits for appointments. The nation-wide resources of CARSTAR have made a lot of this possible and the end result is a growth in repeat business. “We are impressed by CARSTAR’s extensive guidance and impeccable training programs,” says Yvon. “Our ultimate goal has always been to provide an unsurpassed customer service experience and we will continue to do that as part of the CARSTAR network. We want every one of our customers to remain a lifetime customer.”

Thai chicken dinner for two better than take out Lifestyle - This mildly spicy dinner is super easy and much more economical than take out. Serve with rice. Preparation time: 15 minutes. Cooking time: 30 minutes. Serves two. Ingredients

• 15 ml (1 tbsp) vegetable oil • Six boneless skinless chicken thighs or two boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size chunks • Pinch each salt and pepper • Half small onion, thinly sliced • 2 cloves garlic, minced • 15 ml (1 tbsp) Thai red curry paste • 1 can (400 mL) light coconut milk • 1 lime • 10 ml (2 tsp) fish sauce • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) granulated sugar • 1 Sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1 centimetre (1/2-inch) pieces • 250 ml (1 cup) sliced mushrooms • Chopped fresh coriander

Preparation

In a large wide saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and cook until it’s golden all over -- about five minutes. Remove and set aside. Add the onion, garlic and more oil to pan if necessary and cook, stirring frequently, until it’s slightly softened, about three minutes. Add the curry paste and stir until the mixture is fragrant -- about 30 seconds. Add the coconut milk to the pan. Remove a couple of wide

strips of peel from the lime and add to the pan along with 15 ml (1 tbsp) of lime juice. Add the fish sauce and sugar, and bring to a boil. Return the chicken to the pan along with the sweet potato and mushrooms. Stir, cover and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the juices run clear when the chicken is pierced, about 15 minutes. Stir in another 15 ml (1 tbsp) lime juice. Sprinkle with coriander. Foodland Ontario

Initiative helps build hockey school in Chernobyl Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Community - It’s not quite the plot line of the Mighty Ducks movie, but it’s close. An orphanage hockey team from the town of Chausy, Belarus, took home two silver medals in provincial competitions against more privileged children in a Belarusian league. The main reason for their success is thanks to the generosity of Kanata Canadian Tire owner Dave Malcomson and his son Allan. The Malcomsons – heavily involved with the charity Canadian Aid for Chernobyl and the Chausy Orphanage – sent hockey equipment to the children in 2008. In 2010, the two men, along with friends Brian Knowles, hosted the first hockey school for the children, which they repeated this past fall with Knowles’ son Shawn. “We had a request from the children: they dreamed to have a hockey team at the orphanage. They would be the only orphanage in the country with such an opportunity,” said Dave Shaw, humanitarian

Dave and Allan and their friends came over twice now and put on a hockey school. It made all the difference. “It’s one of the most significant projects.”

Canadian Aid for Chernobyl, which has a number of initiatives including the Chausy Orphanage, formed in 1998. “We wanted to turn around and start delivering humanitarian aid and putting different initiatives into orphanages. We’ve been going over on a regular basis since 1998. And that’s where the Malcomson

family got right involved with us,” said Shaw. “They were one of the very first families to sponsor a child. Their commitment just grew from there.” The charity delivers humanitarian aid to areas that are still heavily affected by the Chernobyl catastrophe that happened in 1986 when a nuclear plant exploded. “Shortly after that, they went through the Soviet breakup,” said Shaw, who lives in Brockville, where the charity is based. “They’ve been suffering. Not only have they lost 40 per cent of their land but they were spun into an economic crisis.” Volunteers travel with the containers of goods and monitor where they go. Shaw has been to Chernobyl 44 times since the charity was created. “We follow through on anything we do ourselves so there’s nothing lost on the black market,” he said, adding they focus on orphanages and families with lower incomes and children with disabilities. “What’s wonderful about helping is these are well-educated young children and the

education system is actually something to be respected. If you can give them the tools to work with, they can absolutely turn around and make a difference, a tremendous impact on their own, giving back to their country or their own quality of life.” The orphanage is now selfsufficient, with a vegetable garden, pork barn and chicken coop. Any surplus items can be sold for profit. Equipping the hockey team and providing training are only two aspects of the philanthropic work of the Malcomsons. In 2011, when the country was in financial disarray, any orphan with living relatives was sent back home no matter the living conditions. “Two-thirds of the children in the orphanage are there because of parental abuse, not because they’re true orphans,” said Dave Malcomson. “So we took the money we would have used for the hockey school and we paid to bring these kids back to the orphanage.” They also built the Malcomson Home for Family

Living on the grounds of the orphanage. Growing up in an orphanage leaves many without basic living skills. The Malcomson Home provides living quarters for six people, as well as a supervisor, where young adults learn how to run a household, manage finances and have the opportunity to finish school. “They’re learning to look after themselves,” said Allan. But a large source of pride is the hockey school. “(It’s) just so heart-warming,” said Dave. “It’s all about the joy we bring them and in return all the joy they bring us.” The hockey school features a learn-to-skate program for beginners, a hockey school for more advanced skills, as well as a goalie clinic. One of the skating drills includes learning how to jump over hockey sticks, fall, and roll and get back up. “Well this kid doesn’t just roll over, this kid does a summersault. That’s how he does this drill. I tell ya, it’s the coolest thing I’ve seen,” said Dave. “I think this is one of the most special things that happened the last time we were there.” Both Allan and Dave were presented with certificates of appreciation from the mayor of the region for the work they have done. Aside from Canadian Aid for Chernobyl, the Malcomsons are heavily involved in their community as well, sponsoring local hockey teams in Kanata, Stittsville, Richmond and West Carleton, as well as supporting the Do It For Daron initiative. Both are also extremely humble about their involvement. “It’s not about us,” said Dave, adding he lives by the quote: “For one that is given much, much is expected.” For more information on Canadian Aid for Chernobyl or to donate online, visit canadianaidforchernobyl.com.

Instruments for Africa celebrates initial success Led by Old Ottawa East teacher preparing for future donation projects Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - It’s a musical end to the year for Zambain students as an Ottawa music teacher announced the successful delivery of hundreds of musical instruments to a school in the African nation. The initiative began a year ago, when Old Ottawa East resident Todd Snelgrove decided to launch Instruments for Africa. The goal was simple: collect and deliver instruments to the more than 300 students at the Linda Secondary School in Livingston, Zambia. After receiving strong support from people in Ottawa, Snelgrove prepared and shipped more than 200 instruments in three large wooden shipping crates, which set sail on July 8. Scheduled to arrive in Zambia early September, Snelgrove, his ﬁancee Heather Forbes and fellow Ottawa music teacher Susan Carlton travelled to receive the instruments, hand out and teach both the music teachers and students at Linda and other area schools. According to Snelgrove, things

didn’t go exactly as planned, with the shipment turning up to be more than five weeks late. Due to prior obligations, both Carlton and Forbes made plans to head home, with the shipment arriving on the day Forbes’s flight left. Snelgrove made the best of the one week he had remaining. Though rushed, the work did get done as each school met him and expressed a great deal of appreciation, Snelgrove said. “Some even organized welcoming ceremonies featuring students singing and dancing in traditional dress,” he said. The schools received a number of instruments, including guitars, ukuleles, keyboards, violins and accordions. “The kids couldn’t wait to get started,” Snelgrove said. “Hundreds of students that were enrolled in music classes now had actual instruments to play in school, many of them seeing saxophones and clarinets for the first time, despite studying music theory and singing for years.” The initiative, Snelgrove said, does not stop at this one shipment. “Being in Africa for nearly two

Snelgrove added he has also met with the dean of the teachers college that trains each of Zambia’s music educators, who described the project as “miraculous.”

PET OF THE WEEK

Instrument and ﬁnancial donations are still welcomed online at instrumentsforafrica.com to help with future shipments as arrangements are being made. As well, the Arts and Culture Council of Zambia announced it will put together a board to help select future instrument recipients.

Snelgrove added his organization will begin to shift its focus to neighboring countries. He said he plans on returning to Zambia in the spring as a follow up with each of the recipient schools and ensure that the donated instruments are being used to their fullest potential.

Pet Adoptions

COMET ID# A070935

Meet Comet (ID# A070935), a sweet sevenyear-old male cat who would be the purr-fect addition to the right family this holiday season – he’s named after one of Santa’s reindeer after all! Comet has been at the Ottawa Humane Society since October and is hoping to spend the chilly December nights curled up in his new forever home. He’s a gentle kitty who loves getting pet but also likes his alone time. Comet enjoys hunting bugs and scratching on his scratching post. Comet is a special needs adoption because he has been diagnosed with a heart murmur. Many animals (and humans) with heart murmurs go on to live happy and healthy normal lives! Comet’s condition will warrant discussion with your veterinarian and together you will decide how to manage it best. For more information on Comet and all our adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd. Check out our website at ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of animals available for adoption.

Sushi

Sushi (aka Sushi Roll) is our 4 month old fawn tabby kitten that we rescued from the Ottawa Humane Society. Sushi is your typical kitten; enjoys sleeping all day and gets the “night crazies” while we are trying to sleep. He has become so comfortable with us, our families and our house, that we have started training him to come and sit. Sushi loves playing hide & seek, running through his kitty tunnel and cuddling under the blankets at bedtime. This sport-loving kitten (curling is his favourite) is the purrfect addition to our family and we love him very much.

this by making sure to follow the Five Freedoms of Animal Welfare for our furry friends: 1. Freedom from Hunger and Thirst All animals should have access to plenty of fresh water and healthy food. 2. Freedom from Discomfort All animals should be kept in a sheltered environment that meets their unique needs, and gives them a comfortable resting place. 3. Freedom from Pain, Injury and Disease All animals should be quickly treated

when they are sick or hurt. No animal should live in pain – without veterinary care. 4. Freedom to Express Normal Behavior All animals should live with room to express their normal behavior. 5. Freedom from Fear and Distress All animals should live in a way that keeps them free from fear and distress. Wishing you a happy new year from the staff and animals at the OHS!

One Christmas concert memorable for many reasons

he Christmas concerts at Northcote School usually went off without a hitch – Miss Crosby saw to that. For the entire month of December, we had rehearsals every day after school. Never could we miss even a minute of our studies. Oh no, not with Miss Crosby. That meant it was getting dark by the time we walked the fiveand-a-half kilometre trek back home. Every last pupil had to take part. It didn’t matter if you had a voice like a crow, you sang in the choir. If you were so shy you couldn’t say your name out loud, you had a part in the Nativity scene anyway. The program for the concert rarely varied. The parents who crowded into the Northcote School to see their children perform could count on a repeat performance of the year before. That is, all except that one year when everything that could go wrong, went wrong. We had rehearsed until we knew our lines backwards and forwards. The tree was up in the corner, and

Christmas messages were written on the blackboards, the desks had been piled in the cloak room, and chairs had been moved in from the United Church. We pupils were to be at the school early, with our parents arriving in time for the concert. Well, as soon as we got to school, there was trouble brewing. First of all, the mice had eaten all the popcorn balls off the Christmas tree on Friday night, so all that was left for decoration was the wisps of silver tinsel Miss Crosby brought from home each year, and the coloured paper stars each pupil made. Of course, there was no piano in the school, so that year Miss Crosby had ThreeMile Herman’s parents bring

in their crank-up Victrola, (I think it was the only Victrola in the Northcote area) and from someone else she scrounged a record of Silent Night. The record was as big as a meat platter, and since Three-Mile Herman knew how to get the music out of the Victrola, he was to make it work at the appropriate time in the concert. The appropriate time was when the Nativity scene was coming to a close, and just before Santa was to burst through the back door. Marguirite, as usual, was an angel. After she had complained loud and long that she was tired of being a sheep, Miss Crosby had let her wear a handmade silver halo like Velma and me in order to keep the peace among the students. My

sister Audrey was again the Virgin Mary, which didn’t please Cora one bit. Finally, the parents were crammed into the school, the old stove was belting out the heat, you couldn’t see out the windows for the steam off bodies, and the bad smell of overshoes and gum rubbers hung in the room like a cloud. The first thing that happened to put a damper on the concert was when big Emma grabbed a hold of

Three-Mile Herman never missed a beat, and kept turning the handle on the side of the Victrola and we continued on with the Nativity scene as if that was the music we had rehearsed with all along, even though none of us, except ThreeMile Herman had ever heard the record before. The concert finally came

By this time the heat in the crowded little one-room school house was bouncing off the walls. Uncle Alec, my father and a couple other men got Santa into a chair at the back of the room, and within minutes he was sound asleep and snoring loud enough to wake the dead.

Someone got a ladder from the cloak room, and it was hammered back up and the concert was ready to begin. Miss Crosby got us through the singing numbers, and what passed for a pantomime, and the Nativity scene was about to begin. Someone turned down the oil lamps on cue, and Three-Mile Herman got the nod from Miss Crosby to start cranking the Victrola. Somehow, someone

Uncle Alec Thom got up and went to the door, and Santa in all his glory flew in, ringing a set of bells on a piece of rein, exactly like our horse King wore, and just about knocked Uncle Alec for a loop.

Ring in the Chinese New Year Feb. 2 Event to take place at Kanata rec centre Jessica Cunha

Jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - A group of seniors are preparing the finishing touches to ring in the Chinese New Year in February. After 2013’s event was such a hit with hundreds of people attending the full-day affair, the Kanata Chinese Seniors Support Centre is looking to replicate the success for the Feb. 2 event. “Everyone can come and enjoy,” said Wen Jean Ho, founder of the support centre. “It’s going to be very exciting. The venue is a lot bigger than last year.” This year, the group has rented three rooms (the gymnasium, the youth room and a multi-purpose room) at the newly opened Richcraft Recreation Complex Kanata. In 2013, the event was held in the upper halls of the Mlacak Centre and quickly filled to capacity.

Is Your Pain Medication Causing You Constipation?

Jeff Balon MD, AIM Health Group –Trainyards Ottawa Health and Wellness Centre, is looking for people with constipation caused by prescription Opioid Pain Medication to participate in a clinical research study of an investigational medication for this condition. If you are 18 to 80 years old and have constipation caused by your opioid pain medication, you may be eligible to participate. For more information, please call: Jane Krider RN

613-219-3822

R0012472490

The theme of this year’s event is Chinese inventions and will focus on four main innovations: paper, print, firecrackers and the compass. “We will have games related to all four of these inventions,” said Ho. “It’s really becoming a festival.” The celebration will also feature a number of traditional music and dance performances, Chinese crafts and art, cultural displays, food and more to welcome the Year of the Horse, which represents compassion, said Ho. “The optimistic nature of 2014 allows us to cope with financial hardships in the belief that good fortune will soon be on its way. The Year of the Horse is kind-hearted in nature promising to provide us with supportive friends, ready to help us. “The horse is a very good year.” The Kanata Chinese Seniors Support Centre is a non-profit organization that aims to establish, develop and maintain a support hub for Chinese seniors in Kanata and the surrounding areas. “Chinese New Year is a showcase of their work. We want to show how happy they are, how they’ve conquered coming to a new country and

become part of the community here,” said Ho. “They are so excited.” Many of the seniors in the group immigrated to Canada to be closer to their children and grandchildren, don’t know the language or anyone outside their family circle. The Chinese seniors network helps them integrate and meet new people. The mandate of the group is: caring, bridging, integrating and contributing. “It’s a chance (for) the whole community to come together,” said Ho. “This is a great opportunity for people to come out and meet others. What I’m trying to do is being everyone together.” It’s also an opportunity to learn more about the Chinese culture, she added. High school students can receive volunteer hours for helping at the event and sponsorships are still available. Prizes for the lucky card draws are also welcome, said Ho. For more information, visit KCSSC. org or email kcssc@kcssc.org. The 2014 Chinese New Year celebration will take place on Feb. 2, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Richcraft Recreation Complex, located at 4101 Innovation Dr. Admission is $5 a person and children ages 10 and under are free. The price of entry includes a chance at the lucky card draw and funds support the Chinese seniors centre. The Chinese New Year kicks off on Friday, Jan. 31, and lasts for 15 days.

Thanks to the chilly weather, a beach vacation beckons you, Aries. Start planning an excursion to a warm locale that allows you to escape the daily grind. A sporting event or something that draws a large crowd is just where you need to be this week, Taurus. Surround yourself with people who share your interests. Give an issue in your relationship the consideration it merits, Gemini. Though it might not seem like it now, taking time to work this out will ultimately strengthen your relationship. Cancer, the final stages of a project you have been working on are ready begin. Don’t be afraid to take credit when all of your hard work pays off in a big way. Obligations to work and family leave you short on personal time, Leo. Though your schedule is hectic, make time to unwind and you will be glad for having done so. It may take a while to convince someone to go along with your idea, Virgo. Yet once you have this person’s support, they will be fully on board.

You may have been bouncing around aimlessly for some time, Libra. But now is the week to get all of your affairs together and put your plan for the future in motion. Restlessness can sometimes be a dangerous thing for you, Scorpio. Channel any restlessness into a worthy project that makes good use of your boundless energy. Sagittarius, make the best of a situation that needs changing. You might not be able to affect change, but that does not mean you can’t improve the situation with a positive attitude. Perceptions vary, Capricorn. Just because you feel strongly about something doesn’t mean another will view it the same way. Accept that your passion will not always be reciprocated. Aquarius, even though it will be a busy week, you aren’t likely to feel wiped out. There will still be time for fun. Figure out a day to do something enjoyable. Pisces, you are torn between being creative and following convention at work. Ask a colleague for some input.
