EMC news - Kanata south will become the home of the 11th – and largest – Athletic Club facility in the province. The Athletic Club Group announced its intention to set up shop on Frank Nighbor Place, near Home Depot and Costco, on Tuesday, Jan. 15. The company also has gyms in Orléans and the Ottawa Train Yards shopping centre. “I’ve been after this for months now,” said Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley. “The people in Bridlewood especially, but all over Kanata south, want more recreation facilities.” The new location will be the largest Athletic Club facility in the province at 6,500 square metres, and will boast two saltwater pools – one for women only – as well as an onsite daycare and a multipurpose outdoor court with a two-lane sprint track. “There’s nothing in Kanata even close to it,” said Hubley. Construction on the $14million gym is expected to begin this spring with an opening date in 2014. See NO FREE, page 7

Vandalism drains funds from schools Georges Vanier, W. Erskine Johnston suffer total of 48 broken windows Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - Vandalism at two north Kanata elementary schools is taking funds away from the students.

Georges Vanier Catholic Elementary School and W. Erskine Johnston Public School – both located on Varley Drive – have suffered thousands of dollars of damage to their properties over

the past few months. Vandals have broken numerous windows and scrawled graffiti over the facades of the buildings. “It’s tens of thousands of dollars to replace the windows,” said W. Erskine Johnston principal Jennifer Shirley. “It’s really significant.” The public elementary school has been hit repeatedly since October, she said,

when the school was tagged with offensive comments and images. “There was a stretch there where we were hit almost every night for two weeks,” she said. “My custodian and I would race around at 7:30 in the morning to cover up the inappropriate images.”

Celebrate Burns the bard with dinner and dance Highland dance school hosts event in honour of Scottish poet and lyricist Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - Singing, dancing and good food are on the menu for this year’s Robbie Burns Supper. Sherry’s School of Highland Dance is hosting its third-annual event to celebrate the life of the great Scottish bard Robert (Robbie) Burns, a Scottish poet and lyricist. The dinner and dance will take place on Jan. 26 from 6 to 11 p.m. at Glen Cairn United Church, located at 140 Abbeyhill Dr. “It’s a lot of fun; it’s a fantastic ceilidh (Gaelic word for party) and it’s in celebration of Robbie Burns,” said Sherry Sharpe, founder of the highland dance school. Most well known for his works Auld Lang Syne and Address to a Haggis, Burns and his work are celebrated worldwide on or near his birthday of Jan. 25.

“He was a fantastic poet; so many of his poems have been turned into songs,” said Sharpe. “People really enjoy his work. When we turn to song it’s a lot of fun.” Joining Sharpe’s dance school is the Ottawa Cape Breton Session Band, and Charlie Inglis from the Scottish Country Dancing Society, who will lead the dancing instructions. “We’ve got a number of performances happening,” said Sharpe. “We’re having a lot of singalongs. We’ve got a number of traditional Scottish songs.” The dance instructions are easy to follow, she added. “Your feet are just going to start tapping,” said Sharpe. “You just won’t be able to help yourself.” A dinner of haggis – a traditional Scottish dish that includes a sheep’s heart, liver and lungs, minced with onion, oatmeal, spices and salt

and simmered in the animal’s stomach – as well as roast beef and trimmings, will be served. The Address to a Haggis is recited after the dish is brought into the room. “I get my haggis at the Scottish and Irish Store and it’s the best haggis that I’ve had, and I’ve tried a few,” said Sharpe. “People go back up and get seconds of this haggis.” BURNS THE BARD

Robbie Burns was born on Jan. 25, 1759, and died on July 21, 1796 at the age of 37. The first Burns supper was held on the anniversary of his death by his friends around the end of the 18th century. It was moved to Jan. 29 in 1801 to what the first Burns club thought was his birthday. In 1803, it was discovered

Burn’s date of birth was actually Jan. 25. Now, Robbie Burns celebrations generally happen on or around that date. “It’s just so much fun,” said Sharpe. “It’s pretty informal; everybody comes and shares their talents and love of music and song.” She said people are encouraged to get up and sing a song or read a poem at the event. “The ceilidh, it’s all about the arts and music and the poetry. In a true ceilidh everybody gets up and joins in.” Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for children under 12 and must be purchased before the event; tickets will not be sold at the door. There will be a cash bar at the event. For more information or to purchase tickets, contact Sharpe at sherry@ highlanddancingschool.com or call 613-592-2777.

It’s almost like a meatloaf,” said McPherson, who will be attending her fourth Burns night event with her husband, Dave, the evening’s host. “Our Burns Night is a very typical, traditional Burns dinner.” There will be the traditional Ode to the Haggis read by Tom Baker, dancing by Sherry’s School of Highland Dance, pipers from the Highland Mist Pipe Band and more. “There will definitely be singing, entertainment, dancing,” said McPherson. “It’s going to be a great time. There’s nothing more gorgeous than a man in a kilt and there will be quite a few of them there.” The legion already has close to 90 guests signed up, she said, adding ticket sales are just about closed.

eyeing property on March Road but nothing has been finalized. With the amount of development happening in the ward, Wilkinson said she will be hosting a planning summit – likely in February – to discuss concerns with residents and draft a plan to deal with rezoning.

“I think we do need to have a discussion,” she said, adding residents can submit ideas for the city’s Official Plan to protect communities from overdevelopment.

EMC news - Various developments in north Kanata are going full steam ahead this year. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson updated residents on construction in the area at her monthly ward council meeting on Jan. 14. A revised proposal was submitted for the lands at 1131 Teron Rd. but, “It’s not that different from the last proposal,” said Wilkinson, adding the building is still listed at 15 storeys. No date has been set for the rezoning application to go before the planning committee. The councillor said she has been working with Urbandale Corp., which owns five parcels of land in the Kanata Town Centre, to come up with a proposal that fits the community. The developer agrees with a minimum six-metre setback on the buildings, a maximum of three-storeys along Campeau Drive that can go up to six-storeys further back from the road, said Wilkinson. “There are a number of things happening and we’re working it out jointly,” she said, adding a report by city staff should be available soon, and the rezoning application for Urbandale’s town centre lands is set to go before the planning committee on Feb. 12. Construction has begun on a new restaurant in the Kanata Centrum. Les 3 Brasseurs, a microbrewery, will open at 565 Kanata Ave. near the Em-

Vandals hit multiple schools in Beaverbrook Continued from page 1

JESSICA CUNHA/METROLAND

Best Buy CORRECTION NOTICE

R0011877400

Vandals are targeting two north Kanata schools. Three of the 35 broken windows at W. Erskine Johnston Public School are in a junior kindergarten classroom in the school’s brand new wing.

NEWSPAPER RETRACTION FOR THE BEST BUY JANUARY 18 CORPORATE FLYER On the January 18 flyer, page 7, this product: Kobo 6” Touch eReader (Black, WebCode: 10172313) was advertised with an incorrect specification. Please be advised that the item only has a 1GB storage capacity, NOT 16GB as previously advertised. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our valued customers.

In November, the school suffered smashed windows. Over the holiday period in December and January, the school was targeted again. “We’re looking at eight panes on the kindergarten side,” said Shirley. In total, 35 panes of glass have been smashed at W. Erskine Johnston, including windows in the portables, along the original building and those in the new kindergarten wing, which opened in November. The school’s addition houses three junior and senior kindergarten classrooms as well as a room for a Grade 5 French immersion class. “They left no facade untouched,” said Shirley. “It seems like every school holiday we get hit with something.” The panes in the new wing are large picture windows, and very expensive. The outside of many of the windows have been shattered, with spider web-shaped cracks extending from the points of impact. Although the vandals didn’t break through to the second layer, they did damage the

seals. Inside the classrooms, condensation can be seen on the windows where moisture has seeped indoors. The replacement windows will take at least another eight weeks to arrive, said Shirley, and then they have to be installed, which will disrupt classes. “That’s frustrating,” she said. “I just want it to stop.” ‘WILLFUL DAMAGE’

Down the street at Georges Vanier, around 13 windows have been broken since the vandalism began in November, said Fred Chrystal, superintendent at the Catholic school board. Most of the glass panes have already been restored, but it’s expensive. To replace the windows costs around $6,000. “We would rather spend our money where it’s directed to student success than direct it to willful damage to our schools,” said Chrystal. “It’s a vexing problem for us.” He added there is an anxiety associated with the damage because no one knows when or if the school will be hit with more vandalism. “Unless you’re actually there at the time that it occurs, there’s really not a lot you can do about it,” said Chrystal. The two schools are collaborating and working with the

police in the hopes of ending the vandalism. “We are all each others eyes and ears out there,” said Chrystal. “We’re all looking out for each other in subdivisions and communities.” Ottawa police Const. Lori Fahey, with the Kanata and Stittsville community police centre, issued a crime alert asking the public for assistance in keeping on eye on both schools. “Together we can make our community safer,” she said in the alert. “Please be alert to suspicious activity in the area.” She said it’s likely that metal bars or pipes from nearby construction in the area is being used to damage the windows. The vandals would have used considerable force to break the glass. The vandalism is taking place overnight, said Fahey, adding she’s encouraging people to report anything deemed suspicious to the police. To report suspicious activity: • Call 911 for a crime in progress. • Call 613-230-6211 to report suspicious activity. • Call 613-236-1222, ext. 7300 with any information relating to this or any other crime. • Call 613-233-8477 to make an anonymous report or visit crimestoppers.ca.

Open house on drainage study, turtles, postponed Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - An open house to discuss a management plan for the Blanding’s turtles and storm water drainage in the Beaver Pond area has been postponed. The meeting, which was to be held on Jan. 30, will be rescheduled as soon as possible said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson in an email. City consultant AECON was to present its primary findings on the drainage study of Watts Creek and Shirley’s Brook, as well as a management plan for Bland-

ing’s turtles, an endangered species located in the South March Highlands and Kizell wetlands. The meeting has been postponed due to incomplete information at this time, said Wilkinson. “I will be meeting with staff to go over the outstanding information requirements to set a firm date for this meeting as soon as possible,” she said. The study will provide a background that can be used to develop a drainage plan for the Beaver Pond area, which includes lands owned by KNL Developments, a partnership between Urbandale and Richcraft Homes.

The meeting and discussion could impact future developments and will provide an opportunity for the public to make comments before the final draft report is sent to a last public meeting, said Wilkinson. For more information, visit the councillor’s website at mariannewilkinson.com.

Condo ruling a victory for KBCA To the editor: Today, in an email from the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association (KBCA), I learned that the city planning committee had approved a developer’s application for seven stories at 2 The Parkway, in Beaverbrook. In my view, the planning committee has hardly covered itself with glory, in the way that it has handled the long proposal/ counter-proposal process related to this property. In the end, it is clear that its final decision was another caving in to special interests, while largely ignoring the wishes and reasoned arguments of the affected community. The whole issue of “spot zoning”, rather than real planning, has still not been settled, in spite of the oceans of

Your Community Newspaper

ink which have been spilled over this one project. No precedent has been set which will discourage others from purchasing a small piece of property, and then applying for a zoning change to enable the building of a huge and very profitable building on it, whether it fits in with the surrounding community or not. Nevertheless, this is most certainly not a defeat for the KCBA. The developer’s original proposal was for a 24-story tower on the site. In the face of determined community opposition, funded by the generous donations of many residents of Beaverbrook, and the implacable support of people like John Mlacak and Bill Teron, the developer had to revise his proposal many times. Over two hard-fought years, the proposed building went from 24 stories to 16, to 12, to nine, and finally to the seven which were approved.

The KCBA has shown its mettle; it is not an organization to be trifled with. Moreover, it has galvanized a number of other community associations in the Ottawa area to stand together to defy rapacious developers and stare down the planning committee. A precedent has been set, which should give the planning committee and developers both pause, before they assume that they can blithely collude, without hearing any opposition from the affected communities. Perhaps the KCBA did not get everything that we residents of Beaverbrook might have wished for, but they surely must be proud of what they accomplished. Congratulations to Gary Sealey and to every member of the KBCA, who worked so tirelessly to achieve this victory. Robert G. Farrell Kanata **

Teacher’s labour action a tipping point To the editor: Re: teachers labour dispute. The Ministry of Education characterizes bullying as repeated aggressive behavior that causes harm, fear or distress to an individual, creates a negative environment in the school for an individual and occurs in a context where there is a real or perceived power imbalance. It seems obvious to me that Bill 115 and the government’s PR campaign to implement it hits on all three components of the definition. Any piece of legislation that proposes to unilaterally remove collective bargaining rights sets a terrifying precedent. Further, when a piece of legislation includes a provision that makes it il-

legal to challenge the bill in court it immediately brings in to question its validity. This is one of those canary in the coal mine pieces of legislation that I suspect we will look back upon as a tipping point in labour relations in the province of Ontario. Glenn Rigby Katimavik **

Chiefs should clean own house first To the editor: When Idle No More started its crusade there was sympathy for the concept on the part of most non-aboriginals. As it passed from peaceful to antagonistic they lost a lot of support. It was impossible to understand the nature of the demands which seemed to shift from day to day. Chief Spence was the media centre of the movement even though some seemed to distance themselves from her approach. Many were turned off when news surfaced about the irregularities in her financial statement. The revelation that her companion was receiving $850 a day as a consultant to oversee 300 homes was the tipping point for many of her supporters. Mrs. Spence’s reply was merely to say that it was an attempt to discredit her. Again any white politician would have been hounded by the media with that type of reply. The rumour that she even has a paved driveway to her house stands in stark contrast to the houses we see on T.V. The size of her band council also is extravagant. To achieve the same ratio we would need over 2,000 councillors in Ottawa.

The threat of violence from some Western chiefs was the last straw for many as the latest Ipso Reed indicates. If anyone breaks the law they should be punished, we cannot have two types of law enforcement in Canada. Many of the complaints by the natives against the government have a basis in fact. On the other hand we should expect them to pay the same attention to native chiefs. Why do the complainants not clean their own house first of greed on the part of their chiefs. With 634 receiving the equivalent of $100,000 per year and 50 chiefs receive more than the Prime Minister of Canada we all have to ask questions. If people are starving on reserves why do these chiefs not take steps to help? Owen Prince Bridlewood **

Thanks for your support To the editor: Now that we have survived the end-of-days and are firmly on our way into the new year, I would like to take a moment to reflect back on 2012. The past year presented a major challenge for the Kanata Food Cupboard. Demand for our assistance rose to record levels, while at the same time cash donations reduced significantly, presenting a “perfect storm”. Notwithstanding, it is because of the significant generosity of Kanata residents that we were able to continue meeting the growing need in our community. This December, the Kanata Food Cupboard provided 164 regular hampers to clients and additionally 335 Christmas hampers, for a total of 499 families assisted. See FOOD CUPBOARD, page 7

No free land for Bridlewood pool: Hubley Continued from page 1

“The Kanata project will be much nicer ‌ and much larger than our existing clubs here,â€? said David Wu, managing partner of the Ottawa Athletic Club Group. The organization will select a general contractor for the project within the next few weeks, he added. “We’ll deďŹ nitely be looking to hire a lot of local people living in Kanata.â€? LONG TIME COMING SUBMITTED

South Kanata will become the home of the 11th – and largest – Athletic Club facility in the province. The Athletic Club Group announced its intention to set up shop on Frank Nighbor Place, near Home Depot and Costco, on Jan. 15. Construction on the $14-million gym is expected to begin this spring with the facility to open by 2014. facility before commenting on how it would affect Bridlewood residents. The new gym is in close proximity to both the Kanata Leisure Centre, which houses

ďŹ tness facilities and a pool, and the Kanata Recreation Complex, which has two NHL-size rinks and the Bell Sensplex with its four rinks and indoor sports ďŹ eld.

The new Athletic Club ďŹ tness and aquatic facility will serve residents of the west end including the Bridlewood area, which has long asked the city for a community pool, said area councillor Allan Hubley. But according to Google Maps, the driving distance from the Eva James Memorial Community Centre – a city-run facility in Bridlewood that offers programs such as ďŹ tness, sports, dance, preschool play, arts and gymnastics – to the Athletic Club’s future site is further than it is to the Kanata Leisure Centre, a municipally run aquatic

facility. The following are driving distances and times from the Eva James Centre to other west end facilities: • Eva James Centre to the future Athletic Club facility on Frank Nighbor Place: 6.9 kilometres, 12 minutes. • Eva James Centre to the Kanata Leisure Centre at 70 Aird Pl.: 5.9 kilometres, 10 minutes. • Eva James Centre to the Kanata Recreation Complex at 1 Walter Baker Pl.: 5.5 kilometres, 10 minutes. • Eva James Centre to the Goulbourn Recreation Complex at 1500 Shea Rd.: 7.1 kilometres, 11 minutes.

The Athletic Club, which has 10 other facilities across the province, got its start in London, Ont. in 1997 by founders Alan Quesnel and Wu.

Residents of Hubley’s ward have long asked for additional pool and recreation facilities, he said. With little space available, however, it was decided by a previous council that municipal funds would be used to build a recreation centre north of Highway 417. “People are still looking for a pool in Bridlewood but there are no lands available,â€? said Hubley, adding there are no municipal funds available to build that type of facility in his ward. Instead, the Athletic Club will ďŹ ll that void. Asking for the private sector to invest in the community was the only way to get a pool, he said. “Because this is a private facility it’ll be high-end,â€? said Hubley, who visited the facilities located at the Trainyards and OrlĂŠans. “It’s a really sharp looking place. The whole package is there.â€? Margaret Kellaway, president of the Bridlewood Community Association, said she needed to learn more about the

Jumping off the development merry-go-round

T

he challenges posed by development projects popping up across the city call for innovative responses, which is exactly what one Ottawa community association is doing. It’s something other community groups would be wise to take a long, hard look at as well. The idea, proposed by the Ottawa South Community Association, is to recruit members who have expertise

in land-use planning, architecture development and construction on the association’s planning and development review committee, known as OSWatch. The committee is forced to deal with complex development applications, relying on a dozen or so members who may not have the necessary expertise or experience to craft a position on such proposals. This forces the committee to spend most of its energy

trying to understand and later fight unwanted applications instead of being proactive and encouraging desired development. It’s a familiar problem for the dozens of community associations across Ottawa and the result is costly and unproductive. The process begins with a development application. If community members don’t like the proposed building, a number of meetings are held where the developer

outlines its plans, followed by a response – usually negative – from area residents. If the political pressure is strong enough, the ward councillor fights the application, sometimes over the objections of the city’s planning staff. If city council rejects the application, the developer has the option of appealing to the Ontario Municipal Board. That’s where the real fun starts. The city doesn’t exactly

have a stellar record opposing development supported by its own staff before the OMB. Case in point: the 2011 decision by the OMB to expand the city’s urban boundary by 850 hectares, over the objections of council and at the cost of hundreds of thousand of dollars in legal fees. It didn’t help that the city’s position was at odds with its planning staff. Nobody enjoys the ride on this merry-go-round – not

the city, the residents and not the developers, even if they ultimately win their case at the OMB. Wasted time. Wasted money. Old Ottawa South is hoping to get off this topsy-turvy ride and create a proactive development review process. By working with developers instead of automatically pegging them as the enemy, both parties can avoid many of the conflicts that often end up in the laps of the OMB. Compromise is often required, and that can only come following good communication and intelligent analysis.

Dreaming of a better Sparks Street CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

S

parks Street looks pretty bedraggled these days. Mind you, some of that is just the way winter works on our city. The snow piles up, then it melts, revealing all of yesterday’s litter and dirt. But of course litter is not all that’s bothering Sparks Street, a place that has never lived up to the high expectations placed on it when it opened as a pedestrian mall in 1966. Not that it isn’t a pleasant place at times. In the warm weather, at lunch hour, hundreds of people enjoy the sun and the stroll and visiting with their friends. Tourists, down from Parliament Hill, grab a coffee or a souvenir. But, as many observers have noted over the years, the place is silent as a tomb after six o’clock and more or less deserted on weekends. What happened? Well, the federal government happened. The government owns much of the real estate along Sparks and has not been helpful to merchants and would-be developers. At any given time, a number of merchants will have been displaced while Public Works renovates something or other. Even the most ardent planning advocate must be wondering if Sparks Street might have been better off with unbridled development. The other thing that happened was the Rideau Centre’s opening in 1983. Not that Sparks Street was exactly thriving before that, but it thrived even less afterwards. Important merchants decamped for the new shopping centre and shoppers were attracted away from Sparks Street. After that grew the idea that Sparks Street needed fixing. Various plans were implement-

ed, most of them seeming to involve moving planters around. None of them worked. And the attempt to lure tourists to Sparks Street has had an unintended consequence. Now the complaint is that you can’t find anything on the street that isn’t aimed at tourists. The latest proposal, one not put forward as a solution but as something worth trying, is to put a zip line, a kind of glorified rope slide, somewhere on the mall to attract thrill-seekers. Well, it might do that. But if it succeeds it will just bring zip line enthusiasts to the mall. They’ll zip and they’ll go home, unless there is something else to attract their attention. The same goes for another perennial dream – a Sparks Street casino. People will come to the casino, stay in it and go home. There’s nothing for Sparks Street in that. The idea is not just to attract thrill-seekers and tourists to Sparks Street, but to attract people who live here, people who could decide to come downtown to shop instead of going to their nearest mall, who might decide to eat on Sparks rather than in the ByWard Market, who might want to hang out on a street where there is no traffic. It’s hard to believe this is impossible to achieve, yet it has been impossible to achieve for 46 years. The only thing that will save Sparks Street is a permanent constituency – in other words, more people living downtown. And should there be apartments where there were once dark offices, those who live there would flock to Sparks Street, if it was open at night and if there were stores and clubs and restaurants of quality. These in turn might attract people who live away from the core. In the meantime, new options will be presented for your consideration. Markets and zip lines and new logos and more planters. Whatever option is chosen, one of them should not be reopening Sparks Street to traffic. Great cities all over the world have created pedestrian-friendly areas and many of them work really well. Cities that don’t have such areas wish they did. We would too.

Middle-aged woman seeks fitness regime -(*%,0)%-+''

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse

R0041840122

J

anuary is almost over, so I’m starting to think about finding a new exercise regime. I like to wait until everyone else has given up on their New Year’s resolutions before committing to anything. As I approach official middle age, I realize that 2013 has to be the year I whip my pear-shaped, post-baby (times three) body into shape. And with all the articles about sitting being the latest epidemic – sitting is the new smoking and all that – I realize that sitting and smoking simultaneously is probably not the best way to go. So I’m looking for renewal. But as I look to define the new me – the healthier, more fit me – the almost middleaged me isn’t quite sure where to begin. Besides the inherent psychological difficulty in taking that first step, a big part of the problem is also that there are so many choices available. I’m wary of committing to something financially before I’ve taken careful time – possibly over coffee and/or red wine, while sitting, of course – to examine all the options. There’s a great yoga studio, for example, spitting distance from my house with a $100per-month unlimited yoga deal on now. It sounds great. And I’m sure my bones and muscles would love me to stretch myself in new ways, never mind the mental boost it would likely provide. But all that stretching and breathing? I wonder if I would get bored after a week or two. If I spit in the other direction – you know, from my back door – there’s a fitness and dance studio with regular, fun aerobic classes like zumba. Everyone tells me this is a really enjoyable way to get your

Check out our new website at www.ChristineHauschild.com heart rate up. But at $16 per session, I’m not sure it’s within my financial grasp. And then there’s this really cool place, nowhere near my house, in Gatineau, called PhysXtreme, where a former personal trainer helps whip you into shape by getting you to roll truck tires around and climb fireman poles and such. I have a neighbour that goes for the 6 a.m. workout. She’s super fit and does mud-racing and all kinds of cool things with her muscular, fit body. You’d never know she has two kids and sits in an office all day. The idea of doing a non-traditional workout is extremely appealing, but I wonder how long it would be before I decided I couldn’t be bothered to drive my car to Gatineau twice a week before everyone else’s day begins. I was about to throw in the towel and give up the whole search when I discovered a new exercise regime that may have been designed for the almost middle-aged me. It’s low-cost; it doesn’t require me to go anywhere; I can do it as frequently as I want and I may not even have to sweat – not for long, in any case. It’s called high-intensity interval training, or HIIT for short. A body of research around HIIT suggests that short periods of intense exercise may be as effective as lengthy workouts for some people. The kinesiology department

at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ont., for example, had test subjects do 30-second power pedalling on exercise bikes, interspersed with four minutes of relaxed pedalling. The pattern was repeated four to six times in a session for three sessions per week, a total of about 45 minutes of exercise over the course of the week. Similar studies conducted at universities across Britain and the United States have found this type of exercise may be as effective as a daily cardio workout in reducing insulin and glucose levels, improving metabolism and, in some cases, increasing muscle gain. The only downside to HIIT is that it could cause major physical injury and/or kill you. Study results are inconclusive. There’s also evidence that it may not benefit people of certain genetic makeup, so short of having blood tests conducted to determine results, it may be all for naught. Still, I think I’m going to give it a try. As one friend pointed out the other day, “I can commit to anything for 15 minutes, but thinking about doing something for an hour is really hard.” Yeah. I’m a big believer in baby steps. HIIT may just be my foray into extreme mud racing. I’ll let you know. In the meantime, I have to go upstairs and refill my coffee. It may be the only physical stimulation I get today and it’s only 6 a.m.

event is hoping to break the $2,000 mark this year. “We’re very competitive,” said McConnell. “We want to best ourselves so we thought we’d give it another shot.”

We encourage spectators as well. If anyone wants to come see this craziness happen it’s a pretty good show. AMY MCCONNELL WALDEN VILLAGE RETIREMENT RESIDENCE

Five teams competed in last year’s event, with the Kanata Seniors Council taking first place for most funds raised. This year, McConnell said she’s hoping more people will sign up.

So far, four teams have registered for the fundraiser, including the Kanata Seniors Council, the Kanata Legion, Walden Village management staff, and Walden Village residents. “Anybody can take part; we’d love to have extra teams,” she said, adding it’s a great team-building exercise for businesses. “We encourage spectators as well. If anyone wants to come see this craziness happen it’s a pretty good show, let me tell you.” Teams are also encouraged to dress up and create a theme, but she cautions about going with something too obvious. “Anything but the Rockettes, because we had about three teams called that last year,” said McConnell, laughing. Teams are invited to register for the Walden Village Heart and Stroke Rock-aThon or donate pledges. For more information, contact McConnell at mdwaldenvillage@ kingswayarms.com or call 613-591-3991.

EMC news - The Beaverbrook library branch will close for an estimated 18 months while it’s transformed into the West District Library beginning on Feb. 19. The last day of operation for the branch will be Feb. 17. The library will be closed on Family Day, a statutory holiday, on Feb. 18. “It’s a long process,� said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. “And it’s going to be messy. Construction is always messy.� The branch will be turned into a district library because of the amount of foot traffic it receives. “Beaverbrook, last year, was the second busiest (library),� said Wilkinson, adding the addition and update to the branch is clearly needed. The Ottawa Public Library approved a two-storey addition to the Beaverbrook branch, which is located in the Mlacak Centre on Campeau Drive.

Lions to hold winter carnival on Feb. 9 Blair Edwards blair.edwards@metroland.com

EMC news - The KanataHazeldean Lions are gearing up for their annual winter carnival at Clarence Maheral Park in Glen Cairn on Feb. 9. The Lions hold the event every year around the same time the city kicks off its Winterlude festivities, said Bill Switzer, chair of the winter carnival committee. “We organize this day as part of Winterlude so there’s some local activity,â€? said Switzer. “It’s just part of our view of trying to give back to the community.â€? The day will start with breakfast served inside the Lion Dick Brule Community Centre, with the doors opening at 8:30 a.m. Lions Switzer and Rob Raven will be ipping pancakes, scrambling eggs and frying sausages for the breakfast crowd. The day’s events include:

• Sleigh rides: 10 a.m. to noon. • Rays Reptiles show in the Lions Den from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. • Radical Science show about cold weather animals for pre-schoolers, ages three to ďŹ ve, in the Lions Den from 1:45 to 2:45 p.m. • Euchre tournament in the Lions Den from 7:30 to 11 p.m. The 1st Glen Cairn Scouts will serve hot chocolate outside the Lions Den during the event to take some of the edge off the cold weather, said Switzer. The event usually attracts hundreds of residents. “We typically get very positive feedback,â€? said Switzer. HOCKEY DAY IN KANATA

The same day of the Lions’ winter carnival, the Glen Cairn Community Association will hold its annual Hockey Day in Kanata at the outdoor rink in Clarence Maheral Park.

Two teams of novice hockey players – ages seven and eight – will play a game of scrimmage at the rink starting at 10 a.m. Federal Minister of State for Sport Bal Gosal will drop the puck to start the game. “The most important thing is getting the young hockey players to embrace outdoor hockey,â€? said Rob Nino, president of the association and organizer of Hockey Day in Kanata. “That’s how everything began a long time ago – pond hockey.â€? Nino said he expects approximately 20 families along with the two novice teams to attend the event, some of them visiting Clarence Maheral Park rink for the ďŹ rst time. “It’s always fun for me,â€? said Nino. “I always bring new people into the community and they go, ‘Where does this rink come from?’ “In my opinion (it’s) one of the best in town.â€? Nino said he will encourage participants to arrive a little early for the game so they can enjoy a pancake breakfast at the Lions Den and stay a little later to enjoy some of the festivities at the winter carnival.

EMC news - The nominations are in and residents have little more than a week left to vote in the Kanata Chamber of

Commerce’s People’s Choice Business Awards. Voting, which runs from Jan. 7 to Feb. 1, has been fast and furious, said Rosemary Leu, executive director of the chamber. “They are flooding in. The first weekend alone we had 6,000 votes,� she said, adding it topped the number during the same time last year. “So to see 6,000 and we still have three weeks to go is really encouraging.� Last year nearly 13,000

With new government minimums, R50 (approx 18â€? of blown insulation) is now code. Most newer builds have between R34-R40, with some older homes having as little as R20 in the attic. Other beneďŹ ts to upgrading your attic insulation are creating greater home comfort and helping to raise the resale value of your home.

people voted in the competition. The number of nominees is about the same as last year, she said, with the most entries in the small business and health and wellness categories. Leu said she was pleasantly surprised with the number of new businesses nominated in various categories this year. “I’m always surprised by some nominees and names of businesses that I’m not aware of,â€? she said, adding that many of them aren’t even members of the chamber. “Some of these businesses are very small or very new.â€? Nearly half of the nominees aren’t members of the chamber. “There’s some little gems out there that people didn’t even know existed.â€? A few days after voting closes, the chamber will announce a slate of up to five finalists for each category on its website, kanatachamber.com. Seven people have been nominated for the Citizen of the Year Award: • Daniel Alfredsson, Ottawa Senators captain. • Carolyn Clark, president of the Rotary Club of OttawaStittsville. • Kathleen Ellis, treasurer of the rotary club of Ottawa Kanata Sunrise. • John Curry, editor of the Stittsville News a sister paper of the Kourier-Standard.

Kanata duo win big at Queen’s competition Carleton University commerce students place first at Inter-Collegiate Business event Blair Edwards blair.edwards@metroland.com

EMC news - A team of Carleton University commerce students took home top honours from a business competition held at Queen’s University from Jan. 3 to 5. Sarah Nichols, a 21-yearold Morgan’s Grant woman, and Maxim Melekhovets, a 21-year-old Shirley’s Brook man, placed first in the management of information systems category of the Inter-Collegiate Business Competition, beating out competition from the University of Alberta, Simon Fraser, Laurier, UBC and Okanagan College. “This is really exciting to do so well in the first (business competition) we entered into,� said Nichols. “There’s a lot of hype around case competitions at our school.� The students learn public speaking and analysis skills and work under tremendous pressure, said Nichols and Melekhovets. The Inter-Collegiate Busi-

ness Competition poses problems faced by businesses and is judged by managers in various industries. “I guess it speaks to how well we’re trained here at Carleton,� said Melekhovets, who will graduate this summer with a bachelor of commerce degree, specializing in accounting. “It’s just good to get some representation from Carleton at these competitions where we’re facing competition from international schools.� Carleton was one of six schools that won a spot at the competition after competing with more than 30 universities in a preliminary round, where teams were asked to write a paper about whether employees should be allowed to bring a personal device, such as a cellphone, into the workplace. The six finalists were given a different case study and fiveand-a-half hours to prepare a 15-minute presentation on a resolution to the problem. The case study involved a

newly-appointed chief information officer of a bank who is asked by the chief executive to use the power of data analytics to help the company better predict customer needs. “The overriding issue is that within the organization there is no strategic direction for IT (information technology),� said Nichols. “The IT department is told to do projects on a whim and not given budgets.� The choice was either jumping into analytics to make the CEO happy or coming up with a governance plan first, said the Nichols and Melekhovets. “It’s difficult for a couple of reasons, said Melekhovets. “You have to deal with that time pressure. You haven’t seen the case beforehand.� The Carleton duo presented their winning solution to a panel of six judges – all experienced businesspeople who face issues similar to the case study on a regular basis. “If it doesn’t sound right they’ll be on you right away,�

Sarah Nichols and Maxim Melekhovets, both from Kanata, celebrate winning the Inter-Collegiate Business Competition, management of information systems category, held at Queen’s University from Jan. 3 to 5. said Melekhovets. Nichols said Carleton commerce students will compete in at least three more business competitions this year, held in Halifax, Montreal and Spain. Last week, a team of 50 students from Carleton University headed to Halifax competing in the JDC Central

business competition. As the team’s academic captain, Nichols wasn’t scheduled to compete in the event. After she graduates this year, Nichols plans to start work in May at Deloitte, a consulting firm that deals with accounting audits, IT consulting and business strategy con-

sulting. Nichols attended Roland Michener Public School, W. Erskine Johnston Public School and West Carleton Secondary School. Melekhovets attended Katimavik Elementary School and Earl of March Secondary School.

National awards program recognizes clinic for IT efforts West Carleton Family Health Team receives Momentum Award Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

EMC news - The health clinic in Carp is on the cutting edge of information technology, and was recently recognized with a national award for its efforts. The West Carleton Family Health Team was presented Jan. 18 with a health care innovation award, the Momentum Award, as part of Canada Health Infoway’s ImagineNation Outcomes Challenge. The awards have helped fuel the use of health IT innovation in local communities and across Canada. “West Carleton is on the leading edge in terms of getting patients involved in their own care,” said Richard C. Alvarez, president and CEO of Canada Health Infoway. “These are self-management tools.”

S 50% A 90% V E

Carleton-Mississippi Mills MP Gordon O’Connor, chief government whip and Minister of State, presented the West Carleton Family Health Team with the award in recognition of their efforts to increase the number of patients using their innovative online patient health portal, where any of their 16,500 patients can securely view information that is stored in their electronic medical record, such as lab results and immunization information. “It really cuts out waste,” said O’Connor, who described a personal anecdote of care he received in Perth then had to undergo many of the same tests soon after in Ottawa. While Ontario isn’t at the point of cutting out redundancies in testing at multiple provid-

ers – liability remains an issue – O’Connor is nonetheless impressed with the clinic’s IT offerings. So is Dr. Mark Fraser, one of 12 physicians at the clinic serving about 18,000 patients. He said patients are better informed and able to help doctors economize their time. “Our patients are very careful of asking informed questions,” he said, thanks to the new interactive website found at wcfht.ca. “The questions are getting better.” Clinic operations director Dave Sellers said the website allows patients to input their latest blood pressure and cholesterol readings, along with more than a dozen similar measurement tools. The patterns developed help immensely. “They can track their progress and make adjustments as needed,” Sellers said. The clinic’s catchment area includes Kanata, Stittsville, and Carleton Place.

SERVING KANATA NORTH

Staff

City Councillor, Kanata North POSTPONEMENT OF PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE ON DRAINAGE & BLANDING TURTLES The meeting on the drainage study for Watt’s Creek and Shirley’s Brook and the one on Blanding Turtles has been postponed due to the need to complete some of the information required. I will let you know as soon as I have the next date fully confirmed.

SCHOOLS FOR KANATA NORTH The announcement of funding for three public schools in Kanata North was welcome news. The province has provided the funds for a new elementary school (site not yet announced), a 10 room addition to South March Public School and an addition to the Earl of March High School for grades 7 & 8. I will be working with the School Board to ensure that they receive all municipal approvals and permits as quickly as possible. Once I receive the site plan application for each project I will provide an opportunity for the residents to review the plans and make suggestions.

EQUESTRIAN PARK I was delighted to hear that the Wesley Clover Foundation (WCF), the charitable Foundation of the Terry Matthews family, had been chosen to take over the lease for the Equestrian Park and Campground in the Greenbelt adjacent to Kanata North. The WCF will establish an outdoor recreation and learning centre that promotes health and education through connections with nature and the outdoors. Key components are the Ian Millar Equestrian School and a World Class Equestrian Event Facility; a Trail Riding Centre; a pre-school program (introducing young children to nature); and an Outdoor Sports and Recreation Centre (including field and trail sports). The Equestrian Park was first established by a group from both Kanata and Nepean, operated by Nepean until amalgamation and then by the City of Ottawa. Last year City staff recommended that the City no longer run the facility and the lease with the NCC expired at the end of 2012. This new proposal will ensure that local riding activities can be maintained and enhanced and offers exciting new opportunities. The foundation has indicated that it is committed to supporting advances in healthcare research, promoting excellence in education and creating the next generation of entrepreneurs. A key focus is also the creation of activities that enhance the welfare of our local community. I am looking forward to what it will bring to our area.

EMC news - The city is calling on artists to help decorate the new West District Library with original works. The public art program invites local artists living within a 150-kilometre radius of Ottawa to submit proposals to develop, design, and implement a public art commission for the library project in Beaverbrook. There are six suggested sites in the new complex: • Outdoor rain garden. • Exterior concrete plaza. • Outdoor landscaped garden. • Exterior curtain wall fins. • Indoor two-storey stair element. • Interior two-story curtain wall. Artists can extend artwork from these sites into the surrounding space as budget and space allows, said the city. Artists must indicate which sites they are applying for in their submission package. As well, participants must be Canadian citizens or have

Kanata-March Horticultural Club

EMC news - As building lots for new houses have become smaller over the decades, many homeowners ďŹ nd themselves challenged for yard space should they want to have a backyard garden to grow their own vegetables and owers. The concept of “square foot gardeningâ€? has been gaining popularity around the world as a method for growing vegetables, herbs and owers organically in a smaller garden space with virtually no weeds. On Feb. 5, certiďŹ ed square foot gardening instructor Carolyn Klickermann will be presenting the square foot gardening method to the Kanata-March Horticultural Society members and guests. Carolyn will share the basic principles of this method that will encourage us to change our traditional method of gardening and enjoy the harvest with less work. We will also be holding our annual seed exchange where members bring in seeds to trade. The meeting runs from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Old Town Hall, 821 March Rd.

Future guide dogs look for happy homes Foster parents needed for new puppies Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - If the goal is to socialize Franklin the puppy to become a calm, wellbehaved guide dog, there’s no better place for it than Donna Martin’s home. Between Cody the cockatoo’s squawks for attention, Tutu the parrot’s cheeky hellos, Poppy canary’s chirping and the yips and yaps of dog duo Pepper and Buddy, Franklin is surrounded by furry and feathered friends - and their noise - all day long. In Martin’s Manotick home, a certain level of chaos and noise is expected “when you live in a zoo,” she said. But fostering the eight-weekold yellow Labrador retriever brought a whole new level of commitment on Jan. 11. “It is a lot of work,” she said. “If anyone has had a baby, an infant, you’ll know exactly what it’s like. When he’s awake, you’re spending your time teaching him.” Despite her menagerie, Martin seems to have plenty of love to go around. Taking Franklin out for a bathroom break after lunch, her encouraging calls of “Good getting busy!” fill the wooded backyard. Martin is one of many foster parents raising puppies to become guide dogs for people with visual impairments. A new litter of retrievers was born in November, and the Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind in Manotick is looking for foster homes in eastern Ontario to raise the puppies for up to 18 months. Foster families are required to train the dogs using specific commands so they are consistently prepared for formal guide dog training, and to

help the dog become a social, well-adapted dog. “They’re raising a good dog,” said Guide Dogs spokesperson Steven Doucette. Doucette said the foster home job is not for everyone. At least one person in the household must have the time to be with the puppy virtually 24 hours a day and everyone must commit to the training regimen the organization requires.

I’m going to put my emotions and effort into making sure he’s socialized so I can send him off and know he’ll be helping somebody. DONNA MARTIN GUIDE DOG TRAINER

“Some families look at it as a perfect volunteer job and some see it as a trial run,” Doucette said. “Others do it really for the cause.” Martin, without question, does it for the cause. She has wanted to foster a guide dog puppy for a long time, but couldn’t because the organization required a fenced-in back yard, she said. As soon as she heard the restriction was lifted, she put her name on the foster parent list. Her compassion for people with visual impairments was instilled in her at an early age, by a father who wore “coke bottle glasses” and was extremely myopic. “He stressed the importance of eyes to me,” Martin said. As a teen, she used to close her eyes and walk through the house to see what it would

“That was way to easy!”

feel like to be blind. A week into fostering Franklin, Martin knows it will be hard to give him up when he leaves for training school. “I know I’m going to be very sad,” she said. “I’m going to become attached. I know I am. But he’s not my dog.” Knowing you’ll have to give the dog up at the end of the foster period doesn’t necessarily make it easier, Doucette agreed. “It’s still going to be a little bit heartbreaking and emotional,” he said. “A lot of people will compare it to sending a child off to school, raising kids and knowing they’ll eventually leave the house.” Nevertheless, Doucette said the foster program can be very rewarding for those who are accepted to take a puppy. Guide Dog trainers will visit at least once a month to check on the puppy’s progress. Foster families require access to a vehicle for veterinary appointments and training sessions, but all food and veterinary expenses are covered. Of course, support staff is on hand at the Manotickbased Guide Dog headquarters for advice as well. “They give you a fantastic amount of support,” Martin said. And despite the anguish of the eventual goodbye, Martin said she’ll feel happy knowing Franklin is heading off to do good work. “I’m going to put my emotions and effort into making sure he’s socialized so I can send him off and know he’ll be helping somebody.” For more information, contact Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind at info@guidedogs. ca or 613-692-7777.

Soccer club narrows search for new coach Team name coming soon: president

“We have a certain brand of soccer that we like – which is possession with a purpose, that is exciting and good to watch. I think that is going to be one of the most important characteristics of the coach that we are looking for,” said Pugh. Canadian soccer supporters had a chance last month to submit their names of choice for the new Ottawa NASL franchise through a name-theteam contest. Pugh said they received more than 4,000 entries and added that it won’t be long before the decision on the name of the team is announced. “We are working with a branding company from Oregon to look at branding both the football team and the soccer team,” said Pugh.

EMC sports - The search for Ottawa’s North American Soccer League team coach could be a step closer, said Ottawa Fury owner and president John Pugh. The franchise will commence league play in 2014 as the major stadium reconstruction project at Frank Clair Stadium at Lansdowne Park is completed. “We do have a search in progress,” said Pugh, who is also a partner with NASL franchise owner Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group. “We have had some initial discussions with some coaches and we are now in the process of trying to get a short list of people that we would

so on.” Pugh said he hopes the team will have a coach that meets the brand of soccer they want for the club.

NEW LEADERSHIP NEW DIRECTION

On Jan. 17, OSEG appointed Bernie Ashe as the new CEO to oversee the group’s operations, including sports franchises, entertainment

business and Lansdowne Park operations. “We are over excited to have been able to attract a man of his calibre. He’s got a lot of managerial experience,” said Pugh. “As the CEO of OSEG he has a lot on his plate. It’s quite a job and we are happy with the man we selected to do it.” In a statement, Roger Greenberg, who is also an OSEG partner, said he was delighted that Ashe agreed to join the group and lead business operations. “From the beginning, we planned to hire a CEO with a track record of success in diverse industries, including sports and entertainment, and we’ve certainly found one in Bernie,” Greenberg said in a release shortly after the hiring. “He also has deep roots in our community and a history of community service, which speaks to his integrity and our core values. Bernie will be a great asset to our organization and our city.” OSEG partnered with the City of Ottawa to revitalize

and manage Lansdowne Park, which will house a 24,000seat stadium for football, soccer and other outdoor events, a 9,800-seat arena, the historic Aberdeen Pavilion and Horticulture Building, the Ottawa Farmer’s Market, a new commercial district, an office tower, two condominium towers, townhomes and an urban park. OSEG will manage the facilities and own and operate a CFL football team, an NASL soccer team and the Ottawa 67’s OHL hockey team. “I’m thrilled and honoured to be part of such an incredible team of community leaders and to be involved in such an important community project,” said Ashe. “The new Lansdowne will soon be one of Ottawa’s most inviting, year-round destinations for everyone in our region, and my role is to ensure that it remains vibrant and viable for decades to come.” From 1991 to 1997, Ashe served as executive vice-president and CEO of the Ottawa Senators.

EMC news - The 872 Kiwanis Kanata Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron participated in a workshop and flight program hosted by the Experimental Aircraft Association at the Carp Airport on Dec. 15. The association provided a warm facility and a short pro-

While some of the cadets were going through the workshop, others took a 30minute flight in a small Cessna airplane. Maj. Cooper of the Canadian Air Force volunteered as the group’s pilot for the day. Anyone between the ages

of 12 and 18 interested in joining the squadron can attend one of the weekly meetings held every Wednesday from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at A.Y.

FINANCIAL / INCOME TAX

1926-2013

Dan McCarthy, after a full, creative and fulďŹ lling life, died gently and peacefully on Thursday, January 10th at the Grove Nursing Home in Arnprior, Ontario. His loving wife of ďŹ fty eight years and his family of seven children and their families were there to celebrate his passage. Dan was a man of deep faith. His high school life was under the Basilian Fathers at St. Michael’s High School in Toronto. He spent a year in the Novitiate of the Paulist Fathers in New Jersey. Then he returned to Toronto, graduated with a Liberal Arts B.A. degree from St. Michael’s College, University of Toronto, emphasizing Theology, Music and Drama. He married Mary Sue McGee in 1954. Their seven children are Josie Morrison (Dr. David Morrison), Paula McCarthy, Dr. Susanna McCarthy, Dan McCarthy (Sylvie Boucher), David McCarthy, Dr. Marta McCarthy (Randy Smith), and Matt McCarthy (Erika Berenz). Dan’s grandchildren were the joy of his life. They are Sandy Morrison (Jackie Weatherall), Danny Morrison and Mary Morrison, Kate Andrews-McCarthy, Julia McCarthy and Olivia McCarthy. Dan worked at the CBC as a Radio and Television Producer for thirty three years. He did a prize-winning radio series called “How Do You Say Hello?â€? Working with UNICEF, he visited thirteen countries in Southeast Asia interviewing children about their lives. In television he produced and developed “The Friendly Giant,â€? “Mr. Dress-Up,â€? and later the Canadian version of Sesame Street. As Head of Children’s Programming for the CBC for twelve years, he worked passionately to assure quality programming for all children. Later he directed the CBC Sesame Street Project which brought a Canadian sensibility to the viewers. Children could see Canadian landscapes and regional landmarks, hear the French language, and meet their contemporaries representing the whole Canadian mosaic. In retirement, Dan took leading roles in amateur theatre, singing and acting his way into our hearts. He ďŹ lled our home with music, especially opera, musical comedies and liturgical music. He and Mary Sue moved to Arnprior in 2003 to be near their grandchildren. Because he was a stroke victim, he moved to the Grove Nursing Home in 2010. Our gratitude to the Grove Staff for their tender and compassionate care of Dan is beyond expression. Love and gratitude go to Rev. John Burchat, of St. John Chrysostom Parish, Arnprior. Family and friends are invited to pay their respects at the Pilon Family Funeral Home and Chapel Ltd., 50 John Street North, Arnprior on Friday evening from 7 to 9 p.m. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated in St. John Chrysostom Church, Arnprior on Saturday morning, January 19th at 11 o’clock. Interment Malloch Road Cemetery. In memory of Dan, donations may be made to UNICEF or The Grove Nursing Home, Arnprior.

Young at Art applications now available City of Ottawa

EMC news - The City of Ottawa invites young artists to enter Young at Art 2013 - the citywide artist-juried exhibition for youth. Applications are now available for young Ottawa artists between 12 and 19 years of age. Young at Art provides creative and talented youth an opportunity to showcase and celebrate their artistry in a citywide event. Works selected for Young at

Art 2013 will be displayed in Ottawa community galleries and recognized for outstanding work at awards presentations in the east, west and central areas of the city. This year provides a new way to respond to Young at Art with the introduction of a central theme and new prizes in honour of the 400th Anniversary of Samuel de Champlain’s first voyage up the Ottawa River. In late spring of 1613, Samuel de Champlain left Mon-

tréal in search of a legendary northern sea – and hopefully, a northern route to China. The explorer’s writings about his first voyage up the Ottawa River reveal descriptions of the place that would eventually be known as Ottawa. Youth artists are encouraged to submit artwork that expresses the theme of exploration in any visual art medium they wish. Application forms, details and guidelines are available online at ottawa.ca/youngatart.

Forms are also available at community centres, Ottawa Public Library branches and by contacting Mike Taylor, Young at Art Coordinator at 613-580-2424, ext. 29288 or mike.taylor@ottawa.ca. The deadline for Young at Art 2013 submissions is Friday, March 1 at 4 p.m.

Irish stew warms up a cold winter day EMC lifestyle - Lamb shanks are easy to use and delicious; if unavailable, use thick shoulder chops. It’s better if made a day or two ahead. Lamb is fresh, lean, tender, mild and easy to cook. It’s an excellent source of protein, iron and B vitamins. Because lamb isn’t marbled like beef, health-conscious cooks can easily trim off the fat. Preparation Time: 30 minutes Cooking Time: three hours Servings: 8 INGREDIENTS

• 8 lamb shanks • Salt and pepper • 125 ml (1/2 cup) all-purpose flour • 25 ml (2 tbsp) olive oil • 4 cloves garlic, minced • 5 ml (1 tsp) each dried thyme

and rosemary • 2 bottles (341 mL each) stout-style beer • 750 ml (3 cups) beef broth • 50 ml (1/4 cup) butter • 45 ml (3 tbsp) packed brown sugar • 3 onions, cut into wedges • 3 each carrots and parsnips, cut into 2.5-cm (1-inch) pieces • 1/2 rutabaga, cut into 2.5-cm (1-inch) wedges • 50 ml (1/4 cup) chopped fresh parsley PREPARATION

Season the lamb shanks with salt and pepper then coat with flour. In a large ovenproof casserole, heat half of the oil over medium-high heat. In batches, brown the lamb, adding more oil as needed. Remove to a plate. Stir in any remaining flour

along with the garlic, thyme and rosemary. Stir over medium heat for one minute. Remove from heat and gradually stir in the beer. Bring to boil, scraping up any brown bits. Boil for five minutes, stirring often. Stir in 500 ml (2 cups) of broth. Return lamb to the pan and bring to boil. Cover and bake in 180 C (350 F) oven for 1.5 hours. Meanwhile in skillet, melt butter and sugar over medium heat. Stir in the vegetables and season with salt and pepper. Add remaining broth and bring to boil. Add to the lamb, cover and bake in 180 C (350 F) oven for another 1.25 hours or until lamb and vegetables are tender. Sprinkle with parsley to serve. Foodland Ontario

EMC news - How can we create a more liveable Ottawa? That’s the theme of an upcoming public consultation on how to rewrite the city’s Official Plan and the rest of its master plans for transportation, infrastructure, cycling and pedestrians –documents that set the stage for Ottawa’s development. The city is holding its first public meeting about the review on Jan. 29, but community association representatives got a head start on the issue when about 40 of them gathered for a brainstorming session at the Overbrook Community Centre on Jan. 10. The session was hosted by the Federation of Citizens Associations, a citywide group that represents a number of community associations. For the first time, the city invited the federation to send two representatives to sit on one of three consultation panels that will undertake the in-depth consultation and review of the plans. “There was no such community panel in previous run-

ing Lees Avenue to Ottawa Hospital’s General Campus. There was also some interest from John Verbaas of Action Sandy Hill in “making growth pay for itself” – finding ways for development charges to cover the true cost of building infrastructure needed to support sprawling suburbs. Rural participants were concerned about how the city defines a “complete rural village.” “There’s an implication that they are incomplete,” said Ted Ross of the Manotick Village Community Association. No matter what actually ends up in the Official Plan and master plans, it will be important to ensure those ideas are put into practice. To that end, several community representatives suggested a need for a report card to measure the success or failure of the initiatives in the plans. Representatives from the federation will join the community panel; other panels will include a sponsors’ panel for the city councillors leading the project, as well as a panel for the development industry. The draft Official Plan amendments should be presented to the city’s planning committee in June. More public consultation will follow, with draft approval of the Official Plan itself expected in October. Council expects to adopt the updated Official Plan and the revised master plans for transportation, infrastructure, pedestrians and cycling in December of 2013 or January of 2014.

Old Ottawa South seeks developers’ input for planning committee reviews laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - While many community groups are busy fighting tooth and nail against developers, Old Ottawa South is hoping to invite them in to review building projects. There is a growing desire to reform OSWatch, the planning and development review committee of the Ottawa South Community Association. Member Don Westwood went as far as to call the group “dysfunctional” during a Jan. 15 meeting of the association. The issues the committee deals with are complex and there is a nebulous and inconsistent membership of about a dozen people to review them, Westwood said. There is a need to invite people with industry expertise to participate, he said. More proactive planning and envisioning what a development’s neighbours would like to see in the community is a goal the committee should look towards, Westwood added. It’s an ongoing issue for all community associations, said Michael Jenkins, president of the association. “It is a perennial challenge of OSCA and community associations in general,” he said. “How do you oppose bad de-

velopment but create a consensus about development you think is important or good? “We want to encourage a positive agenda,” he added. This issue was one factor in the recent resignation of community association board member Greg Zador. In a letter printed in the January edition of the Oscar, a newspaper published in partnership with the community association, Zador said recent columns and articles by OSWatch members are troubling, negative and strident. “They all point out development problems and what is not wanted, at least according to OSwatch members,” Zador wrote. “None offer solutions or speak to what Old Ottawa South wants.” Jenkins said because the volunteers on OSWatch spend most of their time reacting to a veritable flood of development applications, they have little time or energy left to look forward. “We spend time reacting to bad proposals,” Jenkins said. “We don’t have time left to put into ideas about what might be good for the community.” Those efforts would be greatly helped by the addition of members who have expertise in land-use planning, architecture, development and

Former OSWatch chairman Brendan McCoy says he agrees with the city that creating a community design plan for Old Ottawa South won’t achieve the community’s desired results. construction, Westwood said. “We want to engage with those people who are experts in our community,” Westwood said. “Instead of continually moaning and fighting against developers, how can we work with them? They’d be indispensible.” The discussion during the community association’s board meeting on Jan. 15 led Westwood and others to ponder a renewed push for a community development plan for the area. City staff had advised

against seeking a community design plan for Old Ottawa South in the past, and former OSWatch chairman Brendan McCoy said he agreed that such a plan would not achieve the results the community was looking for. While Old Ottawa South’s efforts are often focused on encouraging compatible residential infill development, a community design plan is a tool the city uses to encourage more dense development in an up-and-coming area.

Marguirite’s hair has school buzzing

S

omething was amiss at the Northcote School. First of all, Marguirite sneaked in like she had just been caught with her hand in the cookie jar. She usually made a grand entrance so that everyone could get a good look at whatever fancy outfit she had worn that day, but not only did she come in just as Miss Crosby rang the nine o’clock bell, she wore a wool toque and made no move to take it off, even though hats in school were strictly forbidden. She went right up to Miss Crosby’s desk and whispered in her ear. Miss Crosby looked at the hat, made a great sigh and nodded towards Marguirite’s desk. Every eye was on the young girl who didn’t have a friend in the entire school as she meekly took her seat. Well, if that didn’t just tie it -- she was going to be allowed to wear her hat in school. None of us would dare be so bold. Even the boys, the second they walked in the door, removed their caps and hung them on a hook at the back of the room. At recess Joyce, Velma and I got in a huddle to discuss this latest caper and none of us could imagine why Marguirite, who took such pride in her golden curls, would hide them under a toque. We all knew Marguirite,

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories who thought she was a dead ringer for Shirley Temple, got those curls from Ducharmes’ Beauty Parlour, and the golden hair right out of a bottle of dye from Ritza’s Drug Store in Renfrew. Even the boys at school noticed the toque. Cecil made some snide remarks and jabbed Emerson in the ribs, but that day that’s about all the attention they gave to Marguirite. There were more important things to do at recess, like pouring water from the pump on the small square of ice behind the schoolhouse. Miss Crosby rang the bell and recess was over. When we went inside, Marguirite’s head was still covered. Well, it was lunch time, and we all knew it wouldn’t be long before either Cecil or Emerson would get to the bottom of Marguirite’s hat. We were allowed to eat inside on winter days, but the second the last mouthful was down, we headed outside to play, either on the small patch of ice or on the excuse for a hill that the senior boys had built up by piling snow over

the wood fence at the back of the yard. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Emerson and Cecil whispering and the look they both had on their faces spelled trouble. In one fell-swoop, they tore past Marguirite, with Cecil making a dive for the toque. They never stopped running until they reached the patch of ice at the back of the schoolhouse. Meanwhile, Marguirite looked like she had been shot with a gun. She stood frozen on the spot, and finally, we could all see why the toque never left her head. Right down the back, where there should have been a cascade of golden curls, was a streak of orange hair, and it was as straight as a stick. She clamped her hand over the spot and ran into the schoolhouse like someone possessed. Before our lunch hour was over, Miss Crosby rang the big brass bell and we knew Cecil and Emerson were in for it. They had no idea where they had dropped the toque.

This is what they did with the money they

My youngest brother Earl was sent out to look for it. The two culprits, without asking, knew what was coming. Without even being asked, they went up to Miss Crosby’s desk and held out a hand. She brought the strap down with a thunder that could be heard in Admaston. They boys never flinched. They got far worse fighting each other in the back yard. Earl got the toque, covered with snow, and handed it to Marguirite, who by this time was crying great running tears, wiping her eyes with one hand and covering the offending spot at the back of her head with the other. Marguirite always wanted everyone to believe she was born with golden hair and the curls to match. That day, everyone at school knew different, but the incident was soon forgotten and Marguirite’s mother must have made a fast trip into Renfrew, because when Marguirite walked into the classroom the next day, her head was a mass of golden curls. We had no idea how her mother got rid of the orange streak, but Joyce, Velma and I were pretty sure she had to cut it out with a pair of scissors. Joyce, the most kind hearted of the three of us thought we should all feel sorry for the girl, and maybe tell her so. But when we took a vote between the three of us, Joyce lost.

Carleton project to help protect St. Lawrence New grant will help water quality of river Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Carleton University students working to improve water quality in the St. Lawrence River recently got a bit of help from the Ontario government. A grant for $17,446 from the Great Lakes Guardian community fund will allow the university to pay for the planting native species and clearing of debris from Watts Creek, a tributary of the Ottawa River, which in turn flows into the St. Lawrence. This project will ultimately help improve and protect the water quality in the river system. “This project will engage student volunteers in solving real-world problems through hands-on restoration on Watts Creek,” said Dr. Steven J. Cook, associate professor of environmental science and biology for Carleton University. “We

are thrilled to have support from the provincial government for stream restoration activities that will have a meaningful impact on local aquatic ecosystems.” Ottawa-Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi said this grant is an example of one way people can help preserve Ontario’s lakes and rivers. There are more than 4,000 species of plants and wildlife that live in the Great Lakes Basin ecosystem, making it one of the richest biological regions in Canada. “I encourage everyone to help by joining local efforts to clean up our beaches, creeks, streams, rivers and lakes.” Naqiv said. The Great Lakes guardian community fund is administered by Ontario’s Ministry of the Environment. The grant helps community groups, non-profit organizations and First Nations and Métis communities clean up and restore their rivers and lakes. It provides up to $25,000 to help groups protect the Great Lakes in the province.

As part of an initiative with the CBC, the library will offer human books for one day on Jan. 26. This is the second year the library has tried the program.

When a resident signs out a human book, they get 20 minutes of questions, and then the books get a 10-minute break. The program is part of a national human library project from Surrey, B.C. to St. John’s, NL. The organizing committee for the Ottawa project started looking for potential books in the summer.

Commission gives green light for equestrian proposal Plan could improve Nepean facility Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - The National Capital Commission is placing its bets on a proposal to save a local equestrian park. The Wesley Clover Foundation, a charitable organization started by Kanata high tech mogul Terry Matthews, submitted a proposal to the commission in July 2012 after the city’s finance and economic development committee voted to stop running the Nepean National Equestrian Park on Corkstown Road. The commission announced on Jan. 17 it would be accepting the proposal following the conclusion of a requests for expressions of interest process. The two parties are now working to put a lease in place and get all the approvals necessary. A press release from the NCC said the proposal would require an amendment to the Greenbelt Master Plan to allow for the sports fields

and forest school. The amendment was to be considered by their board of directors on Jan. 23 – after the EMC went to press. Jean-Francois Trépanier, chief executive officer for the NCC said the plan is in line with the commission’s objectives. “The NCC is pleased to announce such an ambitious initiative for this Greenbelt facility,” he said in a press release. The park’s future as a cityoperated facility was questioned seven years ago and was given a reprieve with the direction that it needed to operate on a cost-recovery basis. Bay Coun. Mark Taylor said in July that national competitions offer economic benefit to the city, but two of the major shows that used to come to the park weren’t coming anymore. The facility needed a $1.2million upgrade and had operated at a loss for the last six years.

Equestrian Park makeover. The National Capital Commission has given the green light to a proposal from high tech mogul Terry Matthews that would see upgrades to the Nepean National Equestrian Park. The proposal from the foundation includes a: • Trail riding program. • The Ian Millar Horsemanship Centre to attract high-level equestrian competitions. • Forest school for children up to age six to learn about

the outdoors. • An outdoor recreation area including, seven full-size soccer pitches. • Space for non-equestrian events, including the National Capital Flower Show, the National Capital Harvest Festival and an annual curling

competition modeled after the HOPE Volleyball Festival. The proposal also includes the continued operation of a therapeutic riding program – something residents and organizations spoke passionately about in pleas during a July 11 city council meeting.

Kris Sherry, one of the organizers for Dressage at the Park, a competition held at the park every August, said the event was a fundraiser for the program. “We raise money for saddle cushions, tack and other supplies for the therapeutic riding program. If we aren’t raising money for that, I am not sure why we would hold the competition,” she said, following the news that the city would no longer be running the park. In July, Sherry said she’s not sure if the new owners would allow the competition to take place at the park and there is no other facility in the city that could accommodate more than two rings. “We may be able to have a smaller competition somewhere else,” she said. Karen Sparks, executive director for the foundation, said the proposal was aimed at promoting equestrianism in the city and making it accessible. “We are very excited to get going,” she said. “The WCF is hoping to make a big impact in the community and this will be our flagship project.”

Councillors step in to represent Cumberland in Blais’s absence Coun. Bob Monette filling Cumberland role as needed Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - As Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais recovers after a heart attack and surgery, his office staff and fellow councillors are stepping in to fill his shoes. Blais, 32, suffered a heart attack on Jan. 7 while working out at GoodLife Fitness at Place d’OrlÊans. He was taken to the Monfort Hospital and later to the Ottawa Heart Institute, where he underwent surgery. Blais awoke from a medically induced coma

COUN. STEPHEN BLAIS

two days later and is “on the mend,� according to a statement from his family. The statement also indicated that Blais is looking forward to returning to work at city hall as soon as possible, but it is not known how long that might take.

R0011875647-0124

Blais’s office staff will be the main point of contact for residents and developers in the meantime. His office can be reached by calling 613580-2489 or by emailing stephen.blais@ottawa.ca. Neighbouring OrlĂŠans Coun. Bob Monette said he contacted Blais’s office immediately after he heard what happened. “I’ve offered my services as a city councillor for anything where they need a councillor’s intervention, such as bureaucracy, such as meeting with developers, meeting with the community,â€? he said. Monette was on his way to a first meeting with a developer on behalf of Cumberland residents on Tuesday, Jan. 15. Any help he gives is completely at the request and dis-

cretion of Blais’s office staff, Monette said. Blais’s staffers are “top notch,â€? so the day-today affairs of his office are in good hands, he said. “I meet with the developer (with one of Blais’s staff)‌ After I have all the information, I submit that to Stephanie (one of the staffers) with my own views and my own recommendations, but they have the final say on everything,â€? Monette said. “That’s the best way, I think.â€? Council could authorize another councillor or councillors to take over representing Cumberland Ward residents in meetings with developers, deputy clerk Leslie Donnelly said. “It’s been our experience that any councillor working on a file will respect the

wishes and needs of the ward councillor, no matter what, because that’s what they get elected to do,� Donnelly said. “It has not been our experience that people have pushed their own agenda rather than doing what the ward councillor typically would do.� If a councillor is absent from meetings for three months, by law their seat is declared vacant. “As a sense of precaution, we usually recommend that council pass a motion that says, because you are allowed by resolution, to excuse them from that provision in the municipal act,� said Rick O’Connor, the city clerk and solicitor. There is no time limit on how long a councillor can be on a leave of absence.

A council motion is also required to give the clerk’s office authority to sign off on routine office expenses. But when it comes to certain development-related and planning issues that usually fall under the councillor’s control, neighbouring councillors are not allowed to sign off on those approvals, O’Connor said. “There would be no legislative authority for them to do that,� O’Connor said. “They can’t sign off on any of the delegated matters,� he added. As far as how long Blais might be away from city hall, Monette said he hasn’t received any information. “I haven’t heard anything except that he is responding well,� Monette said. “It was a very serious incident.�

Mission’s first female director ‘softened’ Sandy Hill shelter Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

SUBMITTED

Beacon Hill resident Diane Morrison has retired after 20 years as the administrator and executive director of the Ottawa Mission. Morrison was the first female volunteer, employee and head of the shelter.

EMC news - The Ottawa Mission was a completely different world when Diane Morrison first arrived as a volunteer in 1990. For one thing, it was a different world for Morrison, who had never encountered a panhandler or someone living on the streets during her upbringing in the Wakefield, Que., area. The male residents of the shelter hadn’t encountered someone like her, either. Morrison was the first woman to work at the shelter before she became its first female executive director. Now, 20 years later, the Beacon Hill resident has come a long way from the days when the shelter’s clients wouldn’t talk to her. Now, they see her as sort of a mother. On Jan. 9 as she prepared for her retirement the next day, Morrison reflected on how her influence has “softened� the Mission. Morrison was working as a teacher in Chelsea and volunteering at the shelter when she decided to take a leave of absence from her job to run the shelter full-time for a year, which then turned into two years. At that point, there were no other volunteers, no donations, no treatment programs for the clients and just 17 employees – all men. “The board didn’t know what to do. They always had men. They used to call me ‘dear,’� Morrison said. “It’s softened the place a lot.� The men of the Mission

wouldn’t give her the time of day when Morrison first began coming to scrub nicotinestained walls. They eventually warmed up, thanks in part to the loose cigarettes Morrison would stock her pockets with and dole out to the men. “They generally have a good relationship with their mom. They don’t always have a good relationship with their dad,� she said. “It’s kind of that whole nurturing role.� One client Morrison really connected with was a man named Timmy. He was one of the first men with AIDS to arrive at the shelter, and Morrison provided a bed and a chance for his friends to visit him as he was dying. “We had the funeral for him here,� Morrison said. That defining moment in 2002 inspired Morrison to set up the first hospice for the homeless with 14 beds. Morrison’s work completely changed the way shelters approached finances. In the 1990s, people simply didn’t donate money to places like the Mission, Morrison said. “We were really strapped,� she said. When she started out, the Mission had an annual income of $300,000. Now, the Mission takes in $8 million a year. The first foray into fundraising was a $13,000 project to replace the Waller Street building’s roof. It leaked, so the shelter was unable to put any beds on the top floor. The roof had just been installed when a fire broke out on Christmas Eve of 1992. Firefighters had to smash a hole

through the new roof to extinguish the flames and 70 men staying in the shelter that Christmas made their way to a nearby diner for some warmth and food. “It was kind of a defining moment,� Morrison said. The fire made the national news and people began to recognize the Mission name for the first time. A newspaper advertising campaign followed after a suggestion from a man from California. Money that began to trickle in allowed Morrison to create the first programs for Mission clients, such as addiction treatment programs. Under Morrison’s tutelage, the Mission became the first local shelter to reach out to police and to the neighbouring community. Now, officers can walk through the shelter and none of the clients blink an eye, Morrison said. Neighbours are similarly nonplussed. There was some tension when crack cocaine use exploded in Ottawa about seven years ago and community meetings helped smooth over relations, Morrison said. This Christmas, residents moving into nearby condo buildings took up a large collection for the Mission and set up a tree with ornaments of socks and underwear to donate to the men. “(One condo resident) said, ‘You’re our neighbours,’� Morrison said. “You’re our neighbours and we’re your neighbours and we have to learn to work together.�

CAT OF THE WEEK I AM SACHS This dapper gentlemen was found abandoned in a locked cat carrier in the countryside even his name was marked on the carrier... we kept it. He could have been torn into pieces by a fisher... We were lucky to find him. Approximately three years old and he was also declawed. He is trying so hard to be adopted.. Every time some one comes he makes every effort to touch them with his paw, give head butts and glues himself to them.... Yes! they notice him but then another feline gets into the picture and steals them away from him. Last two times he had even packed his belongings... Maybe the 3rd. time will be the lucky charm ! He is so sweet, attentive and affectionate not to mention handsome; who gets him will be so lucky to be loved by him.... Maybe he is waiting for you!
