EMC news - Justin Trudeau will be live by video streaming at Don Cherry’s Sports Grill in Kanata on Feb. 28.

The Liberal leadership candidate is hosting a Night of Nights campaign beginning at 7 p.m. in every riding across the country to discuss his ideas for Canada’s future.

“We want to get everyone together in the CarletonMississippi Mills area,” said campaign supporter Jordan Crosby. “We want to recruit some supporters and gain traction for the cause.”

Crosby and fellow campaign supporter Neil Bateman are hoping to encourage residents of the riding to get involved in politics. Attendees are encouraged to wear red.

“If you have questions, come on down,” said Bateman. “There is an alternative to what we have.”

Traditionally a blue riding, Carleton-Mississippi Mills was created in 2007 using 58 per cent of LanarkCarleton and 18 per cent of Nepean-Carleton. The riding includes the town of Mississippi Mills, West Carleton, Kanata, Stittsville and Goulbourn.

Kanata Place sold to Shepherd’s Residents not on social assistance have to find new lodgings Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - Residents living at the Kanata Place Revera retirement residence on Castlefrank Road who are not

on social assistance will have to find a new lodgings after the Shepherd’s of Good Hope purchased the building.

The sale was announced to staff, residents and their families on Feb. 11 and 12. About

one-third of the 98 residents will have to move by June 18, when the deal finalizes, said Denis Daoust, regional director of operations for Revera.

Revera will honour residents’ current rent rate if they choose to move into another building owned by the company and will also pick up the tab for packing and moving expenses, said Daoust.

“We’ve asked them to move

out of their home so we’re trying to make it as easy as possible,” he said. “Until then it’s business as usual. We will continue to care for the residents that live at Kanata Place.”

Daoust said of the sale came as a surprise for many.

“We couldn’t announce anything before that meeting.”

Shepherd’s aims to help residents live better the Oaks residences, both supportive housing facilities in Ottawa.

“We get engaged in the community,” said Daoust.

“We’ve got a really proud record.”

Continued from page 1

The Westwood Overview, owned by Revera on Carling Avenue, has vacancies for residents on independent living who want to remain with the landlord.

“We are honouring their current rate so whatever rate they are currently paying they’ll be able to move into the Westwood at that rate,” said Daoust, adding it will offer a “continued sense of community.”

A number of residents have already selected rooms at Westwood and many comments have been positive so far, he added.

Rob Nino, Glen Cairn Community Association president, said the sale “looks like a win-win scenario for the community.”

“The facility will be remaining a seniors’ home,” he said, adding the Shepherd’s of Good Hope does great work. “They’re wonderful neighbours to have.

“I think it’s going to be a good thing.”

SUPPORTIVE HOUSING

Shepherd’s of Good Hope executive director Paul Soucie said the organization was looking for housing in the west end. The building will become the Kanata Wellness Centre for older adults.

HOUSING NEEDED

File

Residents of the Kanata Place Revera retirement residence in Glen Cairn wave during last year’s Santa Claus parade. The facility has been sold to the Shepherd’s of Good Hope, which takes ownership on June 18. Residents not on social assistance will have to find new lodgings by that time.

He said the neighbourhood and access to other facilities such as churches and community centres will help residents live better.

“We want them to have a better environment,” said Soucie. “All those things add

to a person’s wellbeing. This is what we’re trying to accomplish.

“It’s a wonderful, wonderful neighbourhood.”

He said there will be very little change when the Shepherd’s of Good Hope takes

over the facility.

“The majority of people are staying there, the majority of staff are staying there,” he said. “People won’t even know we’re there.”

Shepherd’s of Good Hope also owns the St. Andrew and

Peter Henry, a resident of Kanata Place, is one who will have to find a new place to call home.

He said it was “quite a shock” to many at the residence when the sale was announced.

“They told the staff an hour before us. Nobody had any clue at all,” he said. “The ones that are subsidized can stay. But those like myself, who have a private room (or) semi private room” will have to find new living quarters.

Henry, who has zero vision due to a condition called retinitis pigmentosa, as well as glaucoma, is also on a waiting list for volunteer support through Citizen Advocacy of Ottawa.

He said the Westwood facility isn’t a good fit for him and his guide dog Zeus because his family lives in Munster and Stittsville and he’s also a member of the Kanata-Hazeldean Lions Club.

“For us, that’s out of the question.”

He said he’s looked into

the Revera-owned Stittsville Seniors Community Overview residence but the price quotes are “way more” than what he’s currently paying.

A resident of Glen Cairn who wanted to remain anonymous said she’s concerned about the switch in ownership.

“I know the Shepherd’s of Good Hope are doing good things but do they have to be in a residential neighbourhood?” she asked. “All the people that pay private, in the private rooms, they all have to move.”

She added she’d heard that the former daycare – the Kanata Child Care Centre attached to the residence that closed in 2011 – would be turned into a 24-hour drop in centre.

“There are a lot of people very upset and scared. The old people are scared what’s going to come there,” she said. “I just don’t understand; can they really put something in there without informing the community? I think the community should know what’s going on.”

Soucie said the Shepherd’s of Good Hope has no plans for the daycare facility at this time. He added there would not be a drop-in centre, and if programming is offered at the residence it “would match what’s in the building.

It’s a care facility.”

Mayor Jim Watson, left, spoke of Dehler’s deep involvement in many community initiatives, from Cleaning the Capital to raising awareness about invasive plant species. She spearheaded a campaign to fund the planting of trees along Shirley’s Brook, along with new community signs. Her green thumb is also evident at the French public elementary school in Kanata, where she created and maintains the gardens. Dehler has also been instrumental in greening Kanata’s Canada Day event, which is working towards a goal of creating zero waste and zero carbon emissions. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, right, was also on hand for the presentation.

EMC news - The use of rocks for accent in a garden is quite popular to provide a more dramatic setting to show off plants or provide a burst of green as a focal point.

Gardeners look for Alpine plants or drought-tolerant plants to use in these gardens where there may be more rock than soil, or in a garden where there is a desire to have plants that require less water.

Alpine plants are those generally grown in very high altitude mountain areas, which can include a variety of growing conditions. Some are smaller as they have learned to adapt to these environments.

The fun is learning their natural habitats and how we can grow these more unusual plants in our local gardens.

On Tuesday, March 5, Master Gardener Judy Wall of Rock Wall Gardens will present “Growing Alpine and Drought Tolerant Plants in or

Climate” at a meeting of the Kanata-March Horticultural Society. Wall will share how to germinate and grow these plants in our local area.

The meeting runs from 7:30 to 9 p.m. at the Old Town Hall, 821 March Rd. (entrance to the Old Town Hall is on Klondike Rd across from Shopper’s Drug Mart).

There is a $5 fee for guests.

Our society members are gardeners from novice to expert in experience, who share a common love of plants, gardening and take pride in their home’s landscaping. We feature guest speakers each month on a variety of topics, and help beautify the local community through the maintenance of the Molly Wilson garden at the Old Town Hall.

Our memberships follow the calendar year from January to December, and the cost is $15 per person or $25 per couple. New members are always welcome.

HALL OF FAME R0031895967

EMC news - A Bells Corners photographer could be among the first to move into a storefront and use their business to add a little colour to the community’s commercial strip.

The Robertson Road strip – which has been plagued by vacancies – could benefit from the increased traffic. Artisans could benefit from a space to practice and sell their craft.

Bells Corners Business Improvement Area executive director Alex Lewis calls the arrangement a win-win.

Lewis said he has one property manager on board so far, though he didn’t want to name them until the plans are ironed out.

“Really what we want to do is put a call out for more local artisans and property owners,” he said. “This could be a chance to get the community involved.”

The artisans would take over vacated storefronts for a finite period of time. Lewis said he hopes providing a fresh coat of paint and some life will bring traffic to the area’s strip malls and help in pitching the area to new businesses.

Ally Sanderson, a local photographer, is jumping at the chance to get out of the corner of her basement where she currently operates Green Apple Studios and Creative Spark Photo Studios.

Sanderson said working out of her home isn’t ideal but the start-up costs of a new storefront business would be prohibitive.

“This is a chance to see if I can make a go of it,” she said.

“I have so many ideas.”

Sometimes a little public consultation is all it takes

T

he city made the right decision when it backed off a plan to establish a temporary parking lot on Lees Avenue near Springhurst Park.

The existing greenspace at 160 Lees Ave. is used by a broad spectrum of residents, from those living in nearby apartment towers to dog owners taking their pets out for a walk to members of local rugby teams, playing a key recreational role in the

surrounding community.

But that role has come under threat in recent months.

As part of planning work associated with the construction of the city’s light rail line, the site was identified as both a construction staging area for the redevelopment of the Lees transit station and as overflow parking for staff at the University of Ottawa, who were themselves being displaced by LRT construction near the main campus.

Upon learning about the

plans, the Old Ottawa East community stood firm in opposition and with the help of Capital Coun. David Chernushenko, convinced the city to back off not only its construction staging area plans, but to relocate the parking lot to a different site on Lees Avenue to boot.

The exercise has shown how important public consultation is in the municipal democratic process. A great deal of the time, the city needs to tune out public out-

cry on controversial issues.

When faced with a decision that affects a large number of residents, a narrow view will not create effective policy.

The LRT system itself will ruffle feathers in certain neighbourhoods when the bulldozers arrive to carve a path through the city. Light rail, however, is something being constructed to serve hundreds of thousands of residents and to ensure sustainable growth of the city in the future. The city cannot

afford to bow to narrow interests.

The placement of a parking lot, on the other hand, that will only serve a narrow constituency – in this case the university – is the exact type of decision where close consultation with local residents is required. It’s the sort of decision that requires careful consideration of all available options, because it will have a profound effect on this narrow constituency.

At first, the city didn’t

do that. It looked at a map, saw a convenient location and proceeded with its plans. If it had involved the public from the beginning, discovered how important the greenspace was to area residents and investigated other options, a messy public relations exercise could have been avoided.

In the end, the city did the right thing. We can only hope it learns from the experience and doesn’t make the same mistake again.

COLUMN

The pause that refreshes CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

I

was at the National Arts Centre recently to see Metamorphoses which was, like all NAC Theatre productions, strikingly staged. Even if the play doesn’t knock you out, its visual presentation is always going to be interesting.

In this case, it was more interesting than usual because it was played mostly in the water – a kind of wading pool at the front part of the stage and a deep tank with transparent sides at the back. The actors were in and out of the water. Somebody even smoked a cigarette underwater, which is a trick I’m glad I never learned how to do. It was hard enough to quit.

The presence of the water, including a kind of constant rain from above the stage, prompted a mildly critical comment in a largely favourable review from the Globe and Mail: “A constant rain of water tumbling down on the upper level of the set is one misjudgment; its aesthetic value is cancelled out by the damage it wreaks acoustically and the suggestions it sends to bladders in the audience (particularly since there’s no intermission).�

Actually, the play is only an hour and 20 minutes long, so the lack of an intermission was unlikely to produce a crisis. But the comment did get me to ponder what seems to be a general trend in our theatres to eliminate intermission whenever possible.

Some of this may have to do with a trend to shorter plays and concerts: it seems silly to stop an hour-long play in the middle. But for longer plays, or even movies – I remember visiting the snack bar in the middle of Ben Hur and Spartacus, and I’m sure Gone With

the Wind had an intermission – eliminating the intermission takes away what seems to be an important part of the theatre-going experience.

That’s the part where the theatre-goers stretch their legs, wander the lobby and discuss what they’ve seen and what might happen next.

They bump into people they know and ask how they’re enjoying it so far. Maybe they have an argument. Maybe they pick up on something they missed. Why was the tall guy so angry?

Oh, so he was her former husband. However the discussion goes, it helps them to focus on what they have seen and are about to see.

Theatre-going, concert-going and movie-going are not supposed to be solitary experiences.

They should be social, with people sharing ideas and enthusiasms. That doesn’t happen if they just walk in, sit in their seats for the performance and head for their cars as soon as the event is over.

This is recognized at many concerts, where part of the fun is chatting about the music at half-time. And it is true of professional sports.

In both cases, there is the added benefit of lightening the wallets of the hungry and thirsty.

But theatre is different. As the parent of actors, I know the reasoning: The director and cast have worked hard to establish a mood, to involve the audience so completely that they forget they are sitting in a theatre; when the curtain goes down at intermission, the spell is broken and has to be re-established all over again when the curtain goes up.

That’s a persuasive argument. Mind you, a hockey player could argue the same thing – “We really had it going and then the buzzer went and when the next period started we lost our momentum and everything changed.�

Hockey players have learned to live it.

True, it’s a bit more difficult for actors, who have to stick to a script and can’t just go and punch somebody to get the momentum going again. But they should be able, after intermission, to take consolation in the notion that the audience is fresh and not restless and maybe better able to understand why the tall guy was so angry.

Effective ways of moving from vision to action

A

s a writer, I’m naturally drawn to exercises that seek to enhance creativity. I’ve tried various one-minute meditations. (They often turn into half-hour naps).

I’ve reorganized my work space so I’m standing up or looking out the window (for hours). I’ve called my grandmother to ask her stories about her childhood. (I really should write a book about Granny). In other words, I’m quite good at procrastinating.

Recently, however, I was looking less for something to get me over a bout of writer’s block than I was something to get me over a sort of life-encompassing creativity slump.

(Let’s call it the February blahs). So I decided to create a vision board.

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse For those who don’t know, a vision board is a poster-sized collage of images and words one has ripped out of consumer magazines. The idea is to flip through pages of old magazines and tear out anything that instinctively appeals to you. If there’s even a niggling doubt, you leave the page intact. But if your gut says yes, stick it on your poster.

According to proponents of vision boards, the exercise is meant to help you better

understand the direction in which you’d like to take your life. And of course, it should make you feel more innovative and action-oriented.

Admittedly, I had great fun doing this exercise. For one thing, it gave me something to do other than meet an imminent writing deadline. For another, ripping stuff is fun.

(Just ask any preschooler).

But if the point of enhancing creativity is to trigger one to create something, I’m not sure

the board has done its job.

According to my vision, I’d like to eat penne salad with feta, live in a log cabin and own a red purse. There’s also a really neat cocktail recipe pinned to the side, but I chalk that up to a recent dry spell on the alcohol front.

Although I have this pretty collage up on my office wall, it has failed in its purpose to help me initiate something different in my life.

See, the thing about vision boards is that they’re kind of fluffy. But without some kind of action plan associated with it, the vision board will exist as a pretty piece of wall art.

A blog by Dr. Neil Farber on the Psychology Today website helped me realize what I really need is an action board, something that has a

few clearly defined goals with measurable targets along the way. While pop psychology tells us if we think optimistically about things long enough they will happen, Farber says this is tripe.

He cites at least one study that suggests the opposite. In the study, a group of students were divided – one group was asked to study for the upcoming standardized tests while imagining a really great outcome. A second group was asked to visualize where and how they would study. The third group was asked to study while at the same time thinking about how they would avoid failing. The second group performed best on the tests.

Why? They mapped out what they had to do to achieve their goals – as a result, they studied

harder and were ultimately better prepared.

If it’s my goal to have my “best body” as the vision board suggests, it’s not enough to paste pictures around the house of skinny and muscular women. I have to map out precisely what I’m going to do to achieve that goal. Perhaps more importantly, I have to include hurdles in that map – things that will get in the way of my goal – and think about ways I will overcome those challenges.

I’m not going to throw out the vision board just yet. If nothing else, it’s helped me get a sense of my decorating style.

But I have discounted its ability to trigger anything on the creative front, with the exception, perhaps, of this column.

Yasir Naqvi nets cabinet position, becomes labour minister steph.willems@metroland.com

EMC news - Ottawa-Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi said he is “very excited” to take on the role of Minister of Labour, his first cabinet post since being elected to the Ontario legislature in 2007.

Naqvi, who was sworn in on Feb. 11, resigned as president of the Liberal Party of Ontario

in order to accept the position.

Fellow Liberal MPP Bob Chiarelli, who represents Ottawa West-Nepean, was sworn in as Minister of Energy after previously serving as Minister of Infrastructure/Transportation.

In a statement, Premier Kathleen Wynne congratulated Naqvi on his posting and thanked him for his commitment to the party.

“Through almost four years

and three terms as Ontario Liberal Party president, Yasir has kept us focused on making real progress for the people of Ontario,” said Wynne.

“I’m delighted that he’ll be taking on greater responsibilities on behalf of our province as Minister of Labour, where he will ensure all the men and women of Ontario have access to a good job and a bright future. I look forward to working

with him closely in this important role.”

Naqvi said that while he is currently learning his various roles and responsibilities, he will continue to respond to the concerns of his constituents.

“It’s a very dynamic ministry that ensures Ontario workers are kept safe and their work-

places healthy.”

He hit the ground running in his new role, as on his first day back in Ottawa a demonstration

was staged outside his Catherine Street office by workers protesting the province’s Bill 119.

Crime Prevention Ottawa taps community knowledge Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

EMC news - The woman who helped Hintonburg achieve one of the lowest crime rates in Ottawa will be among a group of citizens leading a new crime-fighting initiative.

Cheryl Parrott, board member and security committee head for the Hintonburg Community Association, has been chosen to be a CPO Ambassador as part of the new Crime Prevention Ottawa program nnounced last week.

In the late 1980s and con-

tinuing through the 90s, Parrott was the driving force to rid Hintonburg of the street-level prostitution and the local drug industry that sustained it.

With no professional advice on how to combat the crime, members of the grassroots campaign learned through

years of experience the often unexpected dynamics of crime and crime prevention.

“It’s the sort of experience you only get by actually doing it,” said HCA president Jeff Leiper after learning of Parrott’s selection for the program.

PUBLIC NOTICE Model Home Furniture Liquidation ne W & used hOMe FurnishinGs

“In the early days (of the HCA), they were focused on street-level prostitution. It took a long time to realize you shouldn’t target the prostitution, but the local drug houses.

There was no template to work from at the time.”

Leiper said Parrott’s advice is now in “constant demand” in other communities with safety and security issues.

The CPO Ambassador program will train experienced volunteers like Parrott to represent CPO at community events, information sessions and meetings. A total of 10 Ottawa residents were chosen.

A media release from CPO

stated the program “is our way of reaching out to neighbourhoods across the city and sharing information about crime prevention and community safety.”

Parrott said she’s looking forward to her role as a CPO Ambassador and the interaction with community members that comes with it.

“CPO has been a fabulous resource here in Hintonburg – I just wish we had it 20 years ago,” said Parrott. “Communities that work closely together often share lots of tips and advice. This is just a more formalized way of sharing resources.”

Maroosis’s first office, opened in 1966 in the Connolly Developments Sale Office, was located on Hazeldean Road where the Kunstadt Sports is now.

“The only dentist for the area – Richmond, Stittsville, Arnprior, and I believe Carleton Place – was in Richmond, and he retired the day that I opened my door,” said Maroosis.

“I worked for two years straight with no days off,” he said.

Between regular visits during the week and emergencies on the weekend, Maroosis spent a lot of time at the office.

In 1989, he moved his office to the Terry Fox Plaza at Hazeldean and Terry Fox Drive.

“The office was designed (with) ceramic floors … for my dog to come to work with me,” he said, adding his patients would likely remember Samantha, Katie, Jenny, Mol-

EMC news - The first dentist to open a practice in the west end has retired after 47 years of practice in the Kanata and Stittsville areas.

Dr. George Maroosis was instrumental in changing the face of mouthguards in sports, having developed a vacuum formed, intimate fit piece for a reasonable production price.

“All I did was develop a technique,” said Maroosis, who lives in Bridlewood with his wife and menagerie of rescue dogs and cats.

“George is a very unassuming man and although he has given so much to this community … he is very quiet about his contributions,” said his wife Diane.

Maroosis, former chairman of the Mouthguard Committee for the Ottawa Dental Society, began researching a new mouthguard-making technique in the 1970s after a study of 386 student football players showed only three of them could still use their mouth piece by the end of the season.

“Our primary purpose was to encourage our young people to participate actively but in doing so, not to sustain any brain injuries,” he said.

After refining the technique, regular dental labs weren’t able to produce the high numbers of mouthguards needed. So, Maroosis put together a group of five retired seniors trained in making the

laminate guards. “(They) became known as The Team,” Maroosis said.

The group took individual impressions, let the mouthguards set, and trimmed them for “maximum suction,” he added.

Maroosis and the team outfitted entire high school sports teams with custom mouthguards – the largest order being about 1,800 students in 10 days – including the former football squad at A.Y. Jackson Secondary School in Glen Cairn. The team was so grateful they presented Maroosis with a custom jersey.

“Not too many people get to make a difference,” he said, adding clinics around the world picked up his technique. “I’m proud of it.”

The money they made from selling the mouthguards were funneled back into high school sports.

“We weren’t a company,” said Maroosis. “This was fun

ly and Annie.

“They’re my friends,” he said.

“He is well known for having brought his dogs to work as part of his practice and many of his patients would come to an appointment with their dog,” said his wife.

Maroosis has also carved many wooden pieces for local churches.

“It gives me a chance to give something back,” he said.

One of his greatest accomplishments is “when you get someone who’s terrified of the dentist to relax when they come to see you,” said Maroosis. “That means everything.”

As for retirement, he said he’s just catching up on everything at the moment. He said he and the dogs go on walks and now he can nap during the day if he chooses.

“I have a lot to be thankful for,” he said. “The personal interactions of my professional life have been very rewarding. To be able to bring a smile and comfort to someone either professionally or personally, is very special.”

Charity announces closure date Administration looks to community to keep supports for clients in place Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - The administration of a financially beleaguered Nepean charity has announced they will close their doors on July 31.

Therapeutic and Education Living Centres Inc., is a charity that provides housing and

support for adults with visual impairments.

Administration announced in December that funding shortfalls would cause the closure of all the charity’s facilities.

The decision to close the charity has left some members asking for a special meeting to replace the board.

It operates two group homes

and two apartments on Meadowlands Drive in Nepean.

Joyce Nolan, a residential counsellor for TELCI, said in December that staff and clients felt blindsided by the decision and were upset by the lack of available information.

Nolan said the group homes were equipped with special appliances geared towards residents with visual impairments. Staff were also trained to deal with the high-needs clientele.

“This is the only organization of its kind in eastern On-

tario,” Nolan said. “There are other group homes, but they are for sighted clients.”

The executive director Sean Van Liempt has said other area organizations will take up the slack. In December he also said the charity would not close its doors before the clients were placed with other agencies.

The Ministry of Community and Social Services hosted a meeting on Feb. 11 with 12 agencies that provide similar supports to adults with developmental disabilities such

as groceries, budgeting and cooking.

In a letter to clients provided to the EMC and dated Feb. 14, Van Liempt said the final closure date would allow for the 20 clients to be placed.

“TELCI clients are already in the system and will continue to receive services once TELCI is no longer providing services itself,” the letter reads.

Van Liempt also said TELCI members have requested a special meeting and wish to replace the board because they don’t agree with the decision. Planning for a meeting is underway, but it’s unlikely it will change the fate of the organization.

“I want to stress that the decision to close TELCI was very difficult. For many years we have scrutinized the budget and looked at every possible way the organization could be saved,” Van Liempt said in the letter. “Some of our ideas and ideas presented by TELCI staff and members were better than others, but we examined them all. The fact remains TELCI simply does not have enough money to continue without putting our residents, your loved ones at risk. Their care, stability and safety must come first.”

Until the closure, the charity’s staff will continue to assess residents to place them with appropriate supports.

Kanata Chess Club still going strong Manage your

electricity bill on the go!

Enduring appeal of the game keeps members coming back Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

EMC news - The late politician, philosopher, scientist and general everyman Benjamin Franklin once remarked, “Life is a kind of chess, with struggle, competition, good and ill events.”

Certainly, the appeal of chess is as broad and diverse as those who enjoy playing it, as even in the modern world of constant electronic distractions the game maintains a strong foothold.

A game of risk and strategy, chess represents one of the least athletic pursuits, but, to those who play, the stakes are no different than a game played on a field.

Such games are played every Wednesday evening at St. Martin de Porres School in Glen Cairn during meetings of the Kanata Chess Club.

Started nearly 12 years ago

by Moscow-born Jenny Belousov, the club’s endurance is a testament to the game’s appeal and to the friendships made amongst members.

Belousov, who has played since six-years-old, was seeking chess partners when she formed the club in 2001, shortly after emigrating from Israel.

“I prefer to play with partners, rather than a computer,” said Belousov. “There are emotions involved.”

The club has had many venues over the years, starting at the Glen Cairn Community Centre before moving on to several other locales.

“This is the best location so far,” said Belousov of the school site, adding that the regulars to the club are a diverse mix of people.

She added that, like all clubs, the sociability factor is a big thing, especially in the long, dark months of winter.

Whole families have joined over the years, while others have used the friendly competition as a way of overcoming health issues.

Games of concentration, such as chess, can also help seniors wanting to combat memory loss, said Belousov.

Then there are those who just like to compete within their skill set.

“I’ve been coming here about as long as they’ve been in existence,” said David Anderson, who credits the school for accommodating the club with free space.

What’s the appeal in chess for Anderson?

“It’s tricky,” he said.

“There’s a lot to learn – after about three or four moves, you have to be alert, looking for opportunities. There can be a lot of deception in chess.”

Belousov recalls the friends she met and travelled with while in a youth chess club in the Soviet Union. Her

David Anderson, left, makes a move during a game with Kanata Chess Club founder Jenny Belousov. The group meets Wednesday evenings at St. Martin de Porres School in Glen Cairn views on chess are much like Benjamin Franklin’s.

“It is a lot like life,” Belousoz said.

“The appeal is difficult to explain – it’s been such a big

part of my life.”

The Kanata Chess Club participates in different activities throughout the year, playing other clubs and inviting an international master

once a year to dispense advice.

The club meets at St. Martin de Porres School, 20 McKitrick Dr., at 7 p.m. on Wednesday evenings.

Chance to take revenge slips away

E

merson wasn’t happy. He was grumpy since he got home from school on Friday and Mother announced that Saturday he would be donning an apron.

Mother was high on equality of the sexes back in the days when it had yet to become a popular topic, so once a month, the brothers were in the house to do chores and my sister Audrey and I were sent to the barns. I loved the day we were with Father in the cow byre and the stable, even though he did all the heaviest chores himself.

Mother thought any child, male or female, wouldn’t amount to a hill of beans unless they knew how to scrub floors, churn butter, put a meal on the table and if need be, bake a batch of bread.

She drew the line, however, at teaching the brothers to sew after Emerson, who was allowed to use the old Singer Sewing machine once just to

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories see how it worked sewed the legs closed on Everett’s long underwear. Mother made him sit that night at the kitchen table and pick out every last stitch with a darning needle!

So that Saturday, bright and early, my three brothers, Everett, Emerson and Earl, were given their lists – Mother was also high on lists too.

On went the long white pinnies. Emerson hated them almost as much as he hated house chores. “If the guys at school ever saw me in one of these, I’d be a goner,� he growled. He glared at me “and don’t you ever, and I mean ever, tell a soul,� he

snarled, “or you will pay dearly.�

Suddenly, as if someone had lit a candle over my head, I realized this little bit of knowledge might come in handy down the road. I just might be able to use it to my advantage.

So began a tug-o-war so to speak. When Emerson aggravated me, which was too often to suit me, I would threaten to tell everyone at Northcote School what Emerson looked like in a long white pinnie.

I even went as far as to draw a stick lad, wearing an apron and printed Emerson’s name under it. I kept it in

News Canada

he like to talk and he liked an audience, so soon everyone at the Northcote School knew about our brothers and the boys in Three Mile Herman’s family doing house chores.

Well, that took the sting off for Emerson. There was someone else at Northcote School in the same kettle of fish as he as.

I had to tear up the picture I drew and kept in my primer book reader, and Emerson was back to making my life miserable.

Hope.

exercise together. • Building block 2: Nourish the body and mind. Maximize your child’s intake of DHA, the fatty acid that makes up 97 percent of the omega-3s in the brain.

Find it in fatty fish (salmon, tuna, mackerel) or, if your child doesn’t like fish, look for it in Dairyland L’il Ones yogurt (lilones.ca/products.php), in Natrel Baboo milk (natrel.ca/ en/baboo) and in Sunrise Soya SuperSqueezies (sunrise-soya. com/super-squeezies). All of these foods and beverages are fortified with a vegetarian and sustainable source of DHA from algae. • Building block 3: Embrace new activities. Continually challenge their brains inside and outside of school through activities such as reading or playing games. Creative pursuits like dancing, painting, learning a new language or skill, will help keep your child’s mind active.

It all happened when Three Mile Herman came to school mad as a hatter. Now, Three Mile Herman’s mother and my mother belonged to the Women’s Institute together and it seems they got to talking about their families.

Three Mile Herman said his mother was told by our mother her idea of switching chores between the sons and daughters and it was good training and made perfect sense if they were ever going to amount to a hill of beans.

That’s all she needed to hear.

Mother had earned great respect in the Northcote area since everyone knew she had come from New York and therefore must be up on all the latest trends and ideas. So before he could say “jackrabbit,� Three Mile Herman was in an apron doing house chores.

Unlike Emerson, he didn’t care who knew it. That didn’t mean he liked either the pinnie or doing house chores, but

Building blocks of children’s brain health EMC news - Experts across the globe suggest that lifestyle factors play a significant role in the brain health of people of all ages, including children.

Dr. David Perlmutter, a board-certified neurologist and a fellow of the American College of Nutrition and the author of Raise a Smarter Child

by Kindergarten says: “Parents have the opportunity to give their children the tools needed to help maintain a healthy mind early in life. By incorporating the four dimensions of positive brain health into their daily activities, including physical exercise, good nutrition, mental engagement and social connectedness, children will be positioned to have a well-nourished and mentally-active mind throughout life.â€? • Building block 1: Get moving. Engaging in physical activity for at least 30 minutes a day encourages new brain cells and connections to form. Playing catch, hiking or swimming, are ways for the entire family to

my primer book reader at the ready and made sure Emerson knew it was there.

Emerson’s teasing came to an abrupt halt, I can tell you. I finally had him where I wanted him.

I took my sister Audrey into my confidence and even showed her the drawing of the stick lad. At that stage in her life, Audrey was high on religion. She thought what I was doing could be classified as a sin.

I mulled over this bit of information and I certainly didn’t want to bring on the wrath of God, but for the life of me I couldn’t understand for a minute why God would care about a scrap of paper with a stick drawing on it which was supposed to be my brother Emerson.

Well, the whole idea of using it to expose Emerson at Northcote School wearing a pinnie came to a crashing end not more than a week after I threatened to expose him.

Road renaming process flawed: residents Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - Many West Carleton residents believe the city’s street renaming process is flawed.

A new name needs to be chosen for Second Line Road in West Carleton – because the name also exists in Osgoode and Rideau-Goulbourn – to lessen confusion for 911 responders, said the city.

Rideau-Goulbourn is the only ward able to keep its succession of First Line through Fourth Line roads.

But the process has been delivered with frustration and unanswered questions, said resident Cathy Seymour, such as why a former Kanata mayor’s name was chosen for a street in West Carleton. She added there doesn’t seem to be a consistent process for the city when vetting potential new names.

Close to 40 people attended a March Rural Community Association meeting on Feb. 13 to discuss the issue.

of those living on the road – which includes almost 60 residences – signed a petition against the proposed name.

With no guidance from the city, a group of residents began collecting potential road names. “We collected names from residents up until Nov. 29, having no guidance from the city on the protocols of renaming a street,� said resident Trudy Davis. “Not knowing what to do, we took the course of action asking residents to submit alternate names; we would vote on them and provide that list to the city.�

The top five names were Carroll Crossing, Old Second Line Road, March Second Line, Second Line Road March and Whiskey Town Road.

The city only agreed with Whiskey Town, saying the others are too similar-sounding to street names elsewhere.

But on Feb. 11, the previously failed option of Old Second Line Road was added after residents petitioned area councillor Eli El-Chantiry and city staff to add it to the list of potential names.

“We can prevent another community from going through this,� said association president Judy Makin. “We can come up with some suggestions to the city (to make the process easier).�

LETTER

Those living along West Carleton’s Second Line Road were first issued a letter from the city on Nov. 21 saying the street name would be changed to Des Adam Road – after the former alderman for rural March and the former mayor of Kanata – and they had until Dec. 5 to make comments.

Many said the new name was unacceptable as the man had no connection to the area and didn’t reflect the heritage of the community.

A letter hand-delivered to those living on Second Line said “We have nothing against Des Adam personally; however we feel the re-naming should replicate this area and/ or its long-time residents.�

Second Line is a meaningful name in West Carleton, having been around since the 1820s. If the street moniker has to be changed, the option of Old Second Line Road should be available, said Seymour.

The city originally declined that name option because too many streets begin with “Old� and it’s an appendage reserved for “historically significant� routes, according to staff.

Those residents who already cast their vote by email were asked to re-submit their top choice by Feb. 19 and those without email were asked to have their paper ballot in by Feb. 26.

El-Chantiry agreed with residents, saying the process is faulty and must be fixed.

“We should have a process better than this process,� he said, adding the city will go with whatever choice the majority of residents vote for as the top choice.

RENAMING

Since amalgamation, the city has been doing away with duplicate and similar road names to lessen confusion for 911 responders.

Seymour and Ann O’Connell spoke with an Ottawa police officer who said emergency services can tell “exactly where you are� when calling from a landline and that it takes less than five minutes to triangulate someone’s location when calling from a cell phone.

The only instance where confusion may arise is when someone calls with only the

street name and no civic address. In that case, 911 will dispatch emergency vehicles to all duplicate streets. “That is admittedly a waste of time (and) money,� said Seymour.

She added requests to the city to provide 911 statistics that warrant changes to duplicate and similar sounding street names have not been answered.

One resident spoke up and said confusion over a street name may have led to her husband’s death after he suffered a heart attack. Emergency crews went the wrong way and weren’t able to respond fast enough to save him. “I know you may be upset about (the name change) but it may save someone’s life,� she said before leaving the hall.

lot of people who have suffered from cancer and wanted to emulate the dedication of Terry Fox when he attempted a cross-country run to raise awareness and money for cancer research.

From now until Bota leaves on May 1, he has pledged to work on his project full time.

When he isn’t training he is out drumming up funds for his journey.

The Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation will be offering support to Bota in the form of a website tracking his fundraising and journey.

Bota has been changing his diet to add in health foods that are more compact and easier to carry because he will be carrying his meals from town to town.

EMC news - A Barrhaven native is changing his life one step at a time.

Sebastian Bota, a former Barrhaven resident, plans to run from Ottawa to Vancouver in order to raise funds for cancer research.

The Mother Teresa Catholic High School grad and current Glebe resident started training in late January for the run that is set to start on May 1.

Bota has set an ambitious pace for himself. He plans to run 50 kilometres over 10 hours each day.

“I figure if I run about 50 kilometres per day I should get in Vancouver on Aug. 31,” Bota said, adding he plans to carry enough food in his pack to get him from town to town.

Bota, 29, has started training by skating on the canal and running with packs on his back to get used to working out carrying the weight. At the end of January he ran from Eagleson Road and Highway 417 to Strandherd Road and Woodroffe Drive with 10 pounds on his back in under two hours.

When he leaves Ottawa, Bota will attempt to run 4,300 kilometres in 92 days.

After high school, Bota said he ventured out to British Columbia to do some landscaping work. Now that he has returned to Ottawa he’s set a goal he hopes to achieve.

“Originally I was going to just do the run for me but then I started talking to people and they wanted to know what I was fundraising for,” Bota said.

Bota said he’s known a

supplies.

Bota sees the trip as a way to test his limits. Since starting the fundraising campaign in late January he hasn’t taken a day off from canvassing or

training.

“I am very excited,” he said.

Children are encouraged to attend the Open House with parents.

EMC news - A program aimed at teaching girls the value of fitness, health and mental well-being has expanded to Ottawa’s south end.

Girls on the Run is a charity based in Toronto, but this year the organization expanded its reach to Ottawa with two locations, first in Manor Park in the east end and now a new location in the Hunt Club neighbourhood at the Flavour Factory Dance Studio. The

10-week program consists of teaching participants in grades 3-5 how to run a five kilometre race, as well as tackle tough issues girls face today at home, in the classroom and in the schoolyard.

“We are thrilled to bring the Girls on the Run to Ottawa,” said Rina De Donato, chief executive for the organization.

“We are keen to see the program expand across the city.”

Aside from learning to run, topics in the curriculum include gossip, bullying, eating disorders, substance abuse and community responsibility.

“It’s essential, from a young age, for girls to not only build a strong self-esteem but also understand how they can maintain it as they travel through life,” De Donato said.

Flavour Factory Dance Studio owner Sami Elkout said he was pleased to offer up free space for the program to run in his studio.

“We are always looking for ways to help the community,” Elkout said.

The goal for the organiza-

tion is to help raise money to support positive physical, mental, emotional and social skills for girls.

The program at the Hunt Club location will run every Sunday starting on April 14 from 1 to 3 p.m.

A registration fee of $139 applies to this program, with all proceeds going towards the charity.

A coach volunteering in Manor Park, Barbara Spanton, said she values the ideals and goals of the program and encourages any girls, runners or not, to participate.

“This is something that everyone can do,” Spanton said.

“The only person stopping you from running is yourself, and you may not get to your goal all at once, but that is why you have 10 weeks to get there.”

As it’s the first year for the expansion in Ottawa, girls from the Manor Park program and the Hunt Club one will run in another charity run, Emilie’s Run on June 22. To register for the program, visit girlsontherun.ca.

Cheshire Cat could be rebuilt by Labour Day: owner Nevil Hunt nevil.hunt@metroland.com

EMC news - Cheshire Cat owner Dustin Therrien could pour the first pint in his rebuilt pub as soon as Labour Day weekend.

Therrien made the announcement to a packed room of regulars gathered inside the Carp Agricultural Hall on Feb. 16. The standing-room crowd of more than 300 people cheered the announcement as they also raised money for the 36 Cat staff members thrown out of work when the pub suffered major fire damage on Jan. 28.

Therrien said engineers have found the remaining parts of the pub building are structurally sound.

“It can be built on top of the stone that’s there,” he said of the planned re-creation.

“We’re so excited to bring things back to the way they were or even better.”

He said people who pass by the site – at the corner of Carp Road and Richardson Side Road – will see construction activity start within a week or two.

“We hope to be open by Labour Day, and at the worst, Remembrance Day,” Therrien said.

Despite the fact that the Cheshire Cat only held 150 people – and that’s with the patio full in summer – the fundraiser in Carp drew more than 300 fans of the pub. Therrien said that’s because he has regular customers on different nights of the week.

“The Monday people have never seen the Friday people,” he said with a laugh.

The fundraiser created a festive atmosphere for the Cheshire Cat staff members, who got a chance to share a drink with people they usually serve.

Kanata’s Debbie Radtke models a T-shirt calling for the Cheshire Cat pub to be rebuilt. The pub is expected to reopen later this year.

“I’m really honoured,” said server Svetlana Antonic. “The reaction has been so inspiring and it brings us all closer together.”

One of the organizers, Sean Flanigan, said the evening’s fundraising goal was $10,000, all destined to help staff deal with a break in employment.

“We got together at the Barley Mow (pub) while the Cat was still smouldering,” said Flanigan, who has been a regular customer at the Cheshire Cat. “We said, ‘We’ve got to do something. There’s 36 people out of work.’”

The organizers sold 300 tickets for the fundraiser in 20 hours.

“There were so many people coming out of the woodwork to help,” Flanigan said, adding it took very little time to find business owners willing

New beginnings for Kanata gallery members Exhibit features seven new artists Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - The latest show at the Kanata Civic Art Gallery is shining the spotlight on seven new juried artists.

The art gallery is welcoming its recently added members with the “New Beginnings” exhibit, which runs until March 10 at the Mlacak Centre.

Judy Cerigo, Lauren Henry, Wendy Quirt, Wendy Russell, Anne Remmer Thompson, Fran Swift and Suzanne Moxon offer a “whole new variety of works,” said Judi Miller, an embroidery artist who’s been a member of the art gallery for more than a decade.

“They’re all pretty jazzed, which is great.”

The artists offer works in different styles, techniques and use of colour, said Miller.

“I think the gallery’s getting better,” she said. “They bring lots of fresh new ideas.”

ANNE REMMER THOMPSON

R0011902502_0207

Anne Remmer Thompson was one of the original jurors back when the Kanata art gallery first opened, and said becoming a member herself is “like coming home.”

The Glebe resident is an elected member of the Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour, has taught numerous art classes and was a member of Art Lending of Ottawa before it shut its doors last June.

“I needed to be part of something,” said Remmer Thompson about submitting

her work. “I love seeing people come in (the gallery) and start exploring.”

Remmer Thompson paints mostly with acrylics and watercolours and enjoys capturing the tranquility of oceans and the serenity of small European villages.

“The sea is my big (love),” she said. “I want quiet subject matter that brings peace.”

LAUREN HENRY

WENDY QUIRT

Wendy Quirt uses acrylic paints to bring the natural world to life on the canvas.

The Katimavik resident studies wildlife in its natural habitat and uses what she learns to capture creatures in paint.

“There’s always been a connection for me from an early age,” said Quirt, who’s been painting since she was a child.

Quirt quit the high-tech industry in 2006 and began training with wildlife painters Robert Bateman and Terry Isaac in 2007.

“Taking one course took 10 years off my development,” she said. “If you share your knowledge you can pass it on to the next generation.”

With three young children at home, Quirt usually paints at night, but she’s also working to foster a love of art and nature in her children. They choose an animal and then learn how to draw it, she said.

“They’re very arts and animal oriented.”

LAUREN HENRY

Beaverbrook resident Lauren Henry enjoys using oils and acrylics to capture her favoured subject matter of rocky shores.

Growing up near Killarney

PHOTOS BY JESSICA CUNHA/METROLAND

Anne Remmer Thompson is one of the original jurours from when the Kanata Civic Art Gallery first opened. She is one of the newest members.

Park in northern Ontario, “I’m drawn to the sacred in nature,” she said.

Henry has been painting on and off for the past 30 years but recently devoted herself to the craft in the last few years after leaving the field of graphic arts.

“I’m thrilled; I’m awed by the calibre and the range of the artists,” she said about becoming a member of the gallery. “I feel sort of complete.”

SUZANNE MOXON

In the past, Suzanne Moxon would visit the gallery and admire the works hanging on the walls.

The veteran of 25 years in graphic design decided to shift her focus to fine arts and submitted her own work during the call for artists – then held her breath.

“Ecstatic” is the word she uses to describe her feelings

on becoming a member.

“When I started in graphic design it wasn’t done on computers, it was by hand,” said the Katimavik woman.

After leaving the field, she tried her hand at coloured pencils and pastels and is looking at breaking into mixed media.

“To be part of a gallery, you get inspiring show themes and (you get to) meet people,” she said.

WENDY RUSSELL

Wendy Russell enjoys picking out the details in her subject matter, such as the veins running through a leaf.

“I can look at a tree and I can see every detail,” said the Katimavik resident, who works in acrylics. “I generally like to do close-up details.

“That’s when it comes alive.”

After taking up painting about six years ago in Dart-

FRAN SWIFT

Morgan’s Grant resident Fran Swift worked in graphic design for a number of years and decided to make the switch to fine arts.

“I really enjoy working in watercolour,” said Swift, who showed off a colourful piece of flowers and blossoms.

She said it was “absolutely fabulous” to find out she was juried into the Kanata art gallery.

“This is the first gallery I’ve had the chance to join,” she said. “It’s awesome.”

mouth, N.S., Russell said she saw the call for artists at the Kanata gallery and decided “the time is now” to submit her work and see what happened.

“I’m excited to be part of this,” said Russell. “The doors it has opened already … it’s so helpful.”

EMC news - When wrestler Devon Nicholson and filmmaker Max Moskal wrapped up filming for This is Hannibal, there wasn’t a very happy ending to the story.

Nicholson was wrestling professionally when he contracted hepatitis C, a lifethreatening disease transmissible by blood.

Because of this, he had to put his dreams on hold, unable to wrestle in the World Wrestling Entertainment league.

There is currently a court case underway to determine if another wrestler gave Nicholson the disease when he cut him with a razor during a match, which Nicholson alleges. The facts have not yet been decided in court.

But since the initial shock of his diagnosis, he’s rediscovered amateur wrestling, winning a silver medal at the Olympic Trails for Greco-Roman wrestling and beginning a new experimental treatment for his hepatitis c.

“The first one kind of ended on a sad note,” Nicholson said of This Is Hannibal. “I don’t want people to give up on me, because I’ve never given up on anything. But I’m known as the guy that lost his WWE contract, and I want to be known for my athletics and the positive things I’ve done, like bring awareness.”

So Moskal and Nicholson, both from Orléans, sat down to do a follow-up, an interview that spiraled into a full blown

second part of the This Is Hannibal documentary.

“I wanted him to say a couple words about what’s happened since (we last filmed),” Moskal said. “He ended up speaking for about 20 minutes, and it was so moving I com-

“Now it’s complete, and it gives people hope.”

MAX MOSKAL

pletely re-did the documentary.”

The new version will debut on March 3 at 6 p.m. at the Mayfair Theatre on Bank Street near Sunnyside Avenue.

This is the “100 per cent final version,” Moskal said.

“You can’t force an ending, it just has to happen,” he said. “Now it’s complete, and it gives people hope.”

The first half of the documentary was shot in October 2011 and the second update was just shot this month.

LIFE AFTER

When Nicholson wasn’t allowed to professionally wrestle anymore – he couldn’t be licensed because of his hepatitis C – he decided to pursue amateur wrestling, something he had excelled at previously.

The former Cairine Wilson Secondary School wrestler trained his way to a silver med-

al at the Olympic trials for the 2012 Games in Greco-Roman wrestling.

Currently undergoing an experimental treatment that he hopes will cure him of hepatitis C, he plans to use the next three years to train and qualify for the 2016 Games – the last year wrestling will be an Olympic sport.

“I think if I dedicate myself to Greco Roman wrestling, I thin I could have a chance,” Nicholson said. “I’ll still be in my prime for the next Olympics.”

He’s been undergoing an experimental treatment after travelling to the Mayo Clinic in the United States for testing and consultations with specialists.

If he can test negative for hepatitis C, he can participate in MMA, mixed martial arts, and try and be liscensed to wrestle professionally again – going through the start of the 36-week treatment has been a nightmare.

The process has a laundry list of negative side effects, and doesn’t allow him to do the thing he loves most, train.

It includes increased doses of the two drugs usually used to treat hepatitis C, and a dose of a third experimental drug.

It can cause insomnia, weight loss, mental issues and intense itching, Nicholson said.

On his first round, he made it to week 19, and is currently on week 19 of a second round, trying to get through 36 weeks of the treatment.

“I would rather be punched

But he has been told that the treatment has an 86 per cent chance of curing him hopes as soon as September tests come back negative for hepatitis c.

Despite still being in the midst of the nine-month treatment, he’s remained hopeful and is setting new goals for the next few years, not ready to

give up his athletic career yet.

This is Hannibal’s March 6 showing will be the first time that this new part of Nicholson’s life will be shown on the big screen.

With extra behind-thescenes footage following the documentary, the total show time will be 90 minutes. Because of the topic of the movie, it is not recommended for children.

The movie shows wrestling

shot at Cairine Wilson and various parts of Orléans, so Nicholson and Moskal are both hoping to see familiar faces out at the Mayfair screening of the movie.

“Nothing’s going to stop me this time (from finishing the treatment),” Nicholson said. “Last time I wasn’t really public that I was on treatment.

This time everyone knows and I’ve been trying to spread awareness.”

Plans unveiled for community-centered Bluesfest House steph.willems@metroland.com

2011. Part of the agreement included the complete renovation of the century-old structure.

Dubbed “Bluesfest House,” the building will accommodate a variety of uses, including offices for the administration activities of both Bluesfest and the Ottawa Folk Festival, and community music and arts space.

Bluesfest organizers say the renovation will begin by the end of March.

In a media release, RBC Royal Bank Bluesfest said they had successfully completed the financing on the $2 million project and that staff are busy planning this year’s music festival.

After finalizing the financing aspect of the project, the organizers of RBC Royal Bank Bluesfest announced the conversion of the former Westboro United Church will commence this spring.

Monahan hinted at an earlierthan-normal announcement of what musical acts will be taking to the stage in 2013.

“I am extremely happy with how the line up is coming together,” said Monahan.

While there exists space in Ottawa for artistic and recreational programming, dedicated space for music has been harder to come by.

In order for the Bluesfest House to become a reality, Westboro United Church amalgamated their congregation with that of another church before donating the property.

Excess land facing the street has been slated for the development of three-story townhouses totaling 20 units.

One of the building’s new tenants couldn’t be more thrilled at the announcement.

The Ottawa Folklore Centre will be leaving its current Bank Street location and moving into the basement space

at the renovated church, and plans to hold music lessons, workshops, performances and events.

The Bluesfest organization will also offer programming aimed at aspiring musicians.

Ottawa witch embraces blog before big show Wicked Witch of the West offers behind the scenes look at Greely Players production Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - All things considered, Almira Gulch’s first foray into community theatre is going pretty well.

The Kansas spinster is constantly surrounded by annoying children, and that gardengrubbing dog Toto tries her patience at every rehearsal.

But other than that, she’s finding the process of staging an amateur production fascinating - at least, according to her new blog.

Miss Gulch (otherwise known as Greely resident Anne Peterson) has been blogging behind the scenes of the Greely Players’ production of The Wizard of Oz, which the group will stage at the end of March at the Greely Community Centre.

Peterson’s character Gulch has been cast as the Wicked Witch of the West, a fitting role for a miserly old woman who lives alone and spends much of her time trying to rid

the county of pesky, trespassing canines.

But the experience of acting in a play has perhaps softened Gulch towards her fellow man; in her Feb. 8 post she admitted how much fun a production can be, and even became a little too excited about Dorothy’s ruby slippers, which made their first appearance at last week’s rehearsal.

Peterson said Gulch’s blog is her way of connecting to the audience and offering some insight into how a stage production comes together. Interested readers can find her weekly musings at www.witchwitch2. blogspot.com.

Peterson is returning to the Greely stage for the first time in 10 years, after a decade of behind the scenes management.

She’s returning, she said, because she couldn’t resist such a wicked role.

“It was a fabulous opportunity to play another fun character part,” said Peterson, whose last role with the Players was

Mammy Yokum in the 2002 production of Li’l Abner.

Playing the witch was a nobrainer, she added, because it gives her a chance to harness a side of her personality she rarely entertains.

“People tell me it’s the absolute opposite of my character,” she said. “I’m just letting my little evil side come out. Apparently I have a pretty wicked cackle.”

Curtains open Wednesday, March 20 and the 55-person cast will offer six shows including two matinees that week.

Every second year, the theatre company chooses a production that involves lots of children. In 2011, they staged Willy Wonka, which starred five main children and included a chorus of Oompa Loompas.

This year’s cast of kids will play munchkins, evil flying monkeys and crows.

No take two for the Mayfair theatre as doors close Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC news - Anyone who was hoping to catch a movie at the Orléans Centrum is out of luck, because the Mayfair has now closed.

On Feb. 13, the landlord posted a termination of lease notice on the theatre doors.

While co-owner Lee Demarbre admits he was behind in rent, he said after the first full year of business, things had begun to pickup at the theatre.

The theatre opened under the Mayfair name in December 2011, and the first year was quieter than Demarbre expected.

But the recent freeze brought in a steady stream of business, and January 2013 was the Mayfair’s busiest month ever.

“We had lineups, 200 people on the street, parking lot was always full, record sales, Demarbre said. “Tuesday (Feb. 12) we had like 600 people it the building, it was super. And Wednesday morn-

Demarbre and his partner also own the Mayfair on Bank Street, but the two are separate businesses entities.

“We’re surprised and shocked, I thought we would be able to see eye to eye with the landlord,” Demarbre said.

“I’m disappointed that we couldn’t work something out.

I’m just really sad about it.”

The termination of lease notice posted on the Mayfair door said that the business is behind in rent by more than $190,000.

I was behind in paying the rent, but Orléans is just a different animal than we expected, Demarbre said.

With the ups and downs, he thought that with a full year under the theatre’s belt, year two was going to be a changing point when the time and financial investments would start to pay off.

“It was a lot of blood, sweat and tears. We finally got to a place where I thought we could continue for 10 years,” he said.

The owners have spoken with several theatre employees about working at the Mayfair location on Bank Street, but there are only so many available jobs, and most of the employees live close to the

The Orléans theatre would show Hollywood movies several weeks after they’re released in order to get the films at a lower cost.

Local filmmaker Max Moskal was scheduled to show his documentary This Is Hannibal about Orléans wrestler Devon Nicholson on

March 3 at the Orléans Mayfair. They were forced to reschedule, with the Bank Street Mayfair accommodating the film instead.

And while Demarbre accepts the landlord’s decision, he said he would be willing to sit down to try and work something out.

Members, who bought into an annual discount program, were quick to take to the Mayfair’s Facebook page to express disappointment that the local theatre wasn’t able to stay, many commenting they loved the spot to catch a flick.

Demarbre is an Orléans resident himself, who was often out at the Centrum location.

The independent theatre was also one of the few places in Ottawa to show French-language films.

“Thank you to our members who were loyal. We had some great people come in,” Demarbre said. “And I’d like to say sorry it didn’t work out.”

Vitamin C and Lysine for Heart Health

SPORTS

Your Community Newspaper

by W. Gifford-Jones M.D. Humans do not make Vitamin C like animals do – we need to supplement this essential vitamin to meet our daily needs. Inadequate amounts of vitamin C mean poor collagen and poor collagen means coronary cells fall apart just as bricks do without good mortar.

Lysine is an amino acid that also cannot be made by humans and must be supplemented. Lysine is required for healthy collagen by providing the extra strength to collagen – like the steel girders in concrete.

Vitamin C and Lysine work together to build collagen, which strengthens and holds together the coronary cells. Coronary arteries, closest to the heart, receive the greatest pressure and without enough vitamin C the collagen weakens.

Now you can buy Vitamin C and Lysine, in the correct combination, in Medi-C Plus™. Mix one flat scoop in water or juice, with breakfast and the evening meal.

“For heart health, Medi-C Plus is a lifetime habit.”

EMC sports - Jacob Mathews was the only Ottawa athlete to travel to the 2013 Special Olympics Winter Games in Korea, and he represented the national capital well, returning home with two medals.

The snowshoe racer took home the gold medal in the 1,600-metre race in his division, and a silver medal in the 800-metre race.

The Special Olympics Winter Games are held every four years, one year before the Olympic Games.

This year, they were held in PyeongChang, South Korea, from Jan. 29 to Feb. 5.

At the Special Olympics, athletes are divided into divisions based on their times in the preliminary heats so that they race against athletes of similar abilities.

Mathews raced personal best times in all of his races in Korea, said his mother and coach, Rachel Mathews, who travelled with snowshoe athletes to the Games as a coach.

After a divisioning mix-up separating women and men, he didn’t originally receive the silver medal, but found out he had won a second medal before leaving from Korea.

The gold medal reflected a dedicated training plan that included hill training and distance running before the Games.

“That trail was so hard,” said Rachel of the 1,600-metre race. “If he hadn’t done the hill training he would have been sunk. The last 100 metres was a flat stretch and he sprinted through that last stretch.”

She said he was elated to win the gold medal and it allowed him to relax more for the rest of the Games.

“It was exciting. All that training worked,” Jacob said.

“I was nervous before the race and suddenly all the pressure was gone.”

Jacob was popular with the volunteers in Korea too and had lots to talk about with the Koreans because of all his research about the country prior to the trip.

“One of my favourite parts was experiencing Korean culture and food during the Host Town experience as we got used to being in Korea during the first few days,” Jacob said in am email. “Another favourite part was meeting people from all over the world.”

He that the overall experience was good because of the opening and closing ceremonies, great volunteers and good weather.

“Competition was exciting,” he said. “I had a lot of new experiences, and I won a gold and silver medal.”

Residents on board with city’s vision Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metrolannd.com

EMC news - City hall was buzzing with ideas from more than 100 people who came out on Feb. 12 to discuss how to shape Ottawa’s future.

It was residents’ first chance to get down into the details of the Liveable Ottawa initiative, a year-long project that will result in not only an update Official Plan, but also master plans for transportation, infrastructure, cycling and pedestrians.

The exercise is a complex one, but most of the particpants showed up well informed after reading the reams of information posted on ottawa.ca/liveableottawa.

People gathered in small groups during the Feb. 13 event for discussions about the impact of some of the city’s proposals. Here is a snapshot of three of those discussions: TRANSPORTATION

Planning committee chairman and Alta Vista Coun.

Peter Hume said changes to transportation policies are “the most provocative part” of the entire exercise.

The ideas may be controversial – such as allowing traffic congestion in order to encourage people to use other forms of transportation – but the group discussing the topic on Feb. 13 supported the changes.

One of the more confusing and potentially controversial aspects of the plan is to shift away from building roads to handle the absolute maximum amount of traffic expected in one peak hour of the day and towards a system that would spread out demand over a few hours. That would mean fewer road widenings and fewer new roads, reducing the pressure to construct roads by about 15 per cent.

As participants tried to wrap their heads around that change, there was general agreement.

Another major change would give transportation planners the framework they need to be able to build “complete streets,” something residents in the core have increasingly been calling for.

The change would reduce the focus on building a road with the main intention of serving cars and instead prioritize the needs of pedestrians, cyclists and transit vehicles, said strategic transportation planning manager Kornel Mucsi.

Phillipe Genest, a Centretown resident, said he sees the city’s light-rail line as a way to make it easier for people to live in the suburbs and commute to work downtown.

He said he would rather see true intensification that encourages people to live where they work.

Musci said the policy

LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND

Planning committee chairman Peter Hume listens as residents discuss the proposals to make Ottawa more ‘liveable’ in the future. changes are aimed at making it possible for people to do that in the suburbs as well, but having employment centres closer to where people live.

INTENSIFICATION AND TALL BUILDINGS

Ottawa’s definitions are way out of date when it comes to tall buildings, said city planner Trevor Illingworth. Illingworth led a discussion about how the city should approach one of the more controversial issues the city faces – where to put tall towers.

The idea is to concentrate the tallest developments within close proximity to transit stations, Illingworth said.

Pinecrest, South Keys/Greenboro and the Riverside South community core are areas the city intends to target for intensification.

High-rise buildings would also be allowed in areas that have been specifically identified in community design plans. Where there is no design plan, the overarching Official Plan would define exactly where tall buildings would go: up to 19 storeys could be built near a rapid transit station, and buildings of up to nine storeys would be allowed in most other areas that don’t have a specific area plan.

That’s all fine, the participants said – but it must be enforced.

“Once you’ve decided on a limit, don’t offer any exceptions,” said Ron Rose of the

Old Ottawa East Community Association.

RURAL DEVELOPMENT

Rural residents engaged in one of the more passionate discussions during the Feb. 13 event. They argued that the city must encourage villages to develop with a mix of residential options that will provide the population needed to support core services, so businesses will remain and new

businesses will open up.

Roddy Bolivar of the Carp Road Corridor Business Improvement Area said economic development is at top of mind for many rural residents – but it’s not emphasized in the city’s proposals for the updated Official Plan.

“Creating sustainable growth and sustainable villages should be the focus,” Bolivar said.

For instance, a concept like the combination of a yoga studio and tea shop in Carp is a modern invention that’s ideal for rural areas, but it is not captured by the city’s current business definitions.

“More permissible zoning is a start, but it needs to come into a bigger picture,” he said.

Anda Bruinsma of the Cumberland Village Community Association said it’s critical the city provides a clear picture of all the plans that will affect the villages, including transportation strategies, otherwise development will continue to be stalled.

“No one is going to start a business if you’re going to put a highway through the town,” she said. “Our perception is the right and left hand aren’t talking to each other,” she added.

Another participant, Kanata North resident Trevor Davies, said the city’s plan to make a temporary ban on country-estate lot subdivisions permanent is ill-advised.

Hume popped into the session to advise Davies that concentrating development in rural villages rather than the countryside makes it easier to provide services and encourage businesses to open up.

Between garbage pickup, transit and even school buses, country-estate lot subdivisions “become a very, very expensive way to promote development,” Hume said.

SERVING KANATA NORTH

City Councillor, Kanata North WARD COUNCIL MEETING MONDAY FEB 25TH 6:30 PM, New location – Mlacak Halls B & C FOLLOWED BY SESSION TO GIVE YOUR VIEWS ON OFFICIAL PLAN from 7 – 9 pm There will be a brief Ward Council meeting on Monday, February 25th from 6:30 to 7:00 pm to provide information on imminent issues – blasting for construction at 124 Battersea (Kanata Ave at former Richardson Side Road); zoning report for Outlet Mall; time capsules for the Richcraft Recreation Complex; new info on Town Centre zoning; public meetings on radon gas, blanding turtles and drainage for KNL lands.

At 7:00 pm we will continue on to an important community session where you can put forward your ideas, concerns and vision on how you want development in Kanata to proceed. I am sponsoring this event which will be led by local community associations. The City of Ottawa is updating its Official Plan which sets out how development will occur throughout the City. This is your opportunity to help to frame what will happen in Kanata – from buildings in the Town Centre lands along the 417, to what can be built at Klondike and March, and how everything will be serviced and funded. The Transportation, Cycling, Pedestrian and Infrastructure Plans are part of the plan for which there will be meetings later in the spring.

Kanata residents have long been involved in deciding how our area will be developed. Recent rezoning applications have caused concern about how changes will impact our communities. Attend the session and learn about what is planned, discuss and record your views and help the City revise the plan to fit community objectives.

In advance go to ottawa.ca/livableottawa and review the 12 areas that have been suggested for changes, see if anything is being missed, and come to our community forum with your views.

RADON GAS PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING, MONDAY MAR 4th, 7-9 pm, Mlacak Centre Come out and find out about this colourless, odourless radioactive gas that occurs naturally but can enter your home and become a health risk. Representatives from Health Canada will provide information and a representative from Tarion Warranty will inform newer home owners of their rights under New Home Warranties.

The meeting will also provide information on how to test for radon gas and the relatively simple actions that can be taken to reduce levels if they are found to be above Health Canada’s recommended levels. You are welcome to bring friends and family from other parts of Ottawa since radon gas can be found anywhere.

BLANDING TURTLES & DRAINAGE STUDY OPEN HOUSE The meeting to present the final report on Blanding Turtles and the draft Drainage Study for the Beaver Pond and Shirley’s Brook has been rescheduled to Monday, March 18th. There will be an Open House starting at 6:30 pm with presentations followed by a question period for each study starting at 7:00 pm. Mark this date in your calendar and find out about the present state of drainage that will be used to develop a drainage plan for the KNL development in the South March Highlands.

COMMUNITY NOTICES Congratulations to all involved with the Chinese New Year’s party on February 10th. It was a wonderful event and showed the talents of so many of our Chinese neighbours.

City remains tight-lipped about ByWard Market study Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Community members are eager to see what a visioning study has in store for the ByWard Market, but they are being locked out of the process.

The study, which was conducted by New York-based consultants Project for Public Spaces, was jointly funded by the city and the ByWard Market Business Improvement Area. Instead of releasing the study the consultants completed in December, the city has decided to withhold it to work with the business group’s executive staff to make “tweaks” to the report.

Jasna Jennings, executive director of the BIA, said the tweaks are mainly to fix up minor errors or misunderstandings on the part of the study team. For instance, Project for Public Spaces recommended the city increase the amount of funding it gives to the business group. But the group receives funds from a tax levy collected from business owners that are members and is not directly funded by the city.

“We wanted to make sure nothing in there is skewed,” Jennings said.

But community members see it another way. In most cases, studies commissioned by the city are released to the public in draft form for comments, which are then incorporated into city staff’s review of the report, which comes with final recommendations to the committee of council that oversees the issue.

FILE

A study conducted by New York-based consultants was paid for in part by city taxpayers but is being withheld until minor errors or misunderstandings can be fixed.

In this case, the study won’t be available to the general public until it appears on the planning committee agenda with the staff report a week before the planning committee meets.

“Secrecy is not good,” said Sylvie Grenier, who sits on the ByWard Market visioning exercise steering committee on behalf of the Lowertown Community Association. “Being open is always better.”

After her request to view the report was refused, Grenier filed a more formal access to information request.

Shortly afterwards, a city staffer called her on the phone

and agreed to relay some of the information contained in the study.

“This is unacceptable,” Grenier said. “This visioning was built on transparency and the whole reason we started the steering committee was to help sell the report to businesses and the community.”

Jennings didn’t see anything unusual about waiting to release the study, since community members did not help pay for the study. She said the study is expected to be reviewed by the steering committee, including Grenier, once senior city staff sign off on it.

The total cost of the ByWard Market visioning exercise is $40,000, which the city and BIA split equally.

Grenier and the rest of the steering committee (about 10 members) aren’t the only ones who haven’t seen the study.

While the business group’s executive staff has read the report, the BIA’s board of directors has not seen the study.

Even the business group’s staff faced delays in getting the report, Jennings said. It wasn’t a struggle to get the report, the issue was that the report was released just before Christmas and senior city staff had to sign off on it before it could be shared with the BIA, she said.

Jennings didn’t receive the study until the very end of January.

“It took a little bit longer than we expected,” she said.

Community members who are up in arms over the study likely won’t find anything too earth-shattering in the report, anyway, Jennings said.

“I don’t think anything is going to be very surprising,” she said. She declined to elaborate further or summarize anything in the report.

The city refused to allow city planners to speak about the study, but provided a statement on behalf of policy development and urban design manager Lee Ann Snedden that said the study and report will be released together in advance of a planning committee meeting “in the coming months.”

Media relations staff did not respond to a request for a more defined timeline.

Council finds cash for new parks planners laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Paying for staff needed to design new parks set off two lengthy debates between suburban and urban councillors last week.

In the end, city council agreed to take approximately $220,000 needed to hire two parks planners for 2013 out of a citywide fund that would otherwise be spent on features for parks.

Council rejected the idea of raiding a citywide emergency fund to find the cash.

The issue arose after Capital Coun. David Chernushenko complained about the lack of cash for parks planners during the 2013 budget process late last year.

Developers pay levies on new construction that are split and put into ward-specific and citywide funds for building new parks. The problem in the urban area is that although residents and the councillor have agreed on the basics for a new park and the money from developers is in the bank, the city’s parks department

doesn’t have enough staff to finish the fine detailed work and get construction started.

Councillors voted 15-6 to take the money needed for parks planners from a citywide fund, but not before a spirited debate over how the positions should be paid for.

College Coun. Rick Chiarelli emphasized the process should be fair to different areas of the city. He felt the best way to do that was to raid a citywide emergency fund.

“We need to send a message on this that this should be something that is an operational priority of the city and it will be a priority that’s included in the next budget … and that it will be handled fairly across the city so no matter which area of the city you happen to live in and represent, you’re going to get the same level of recognition and possibility. “(It’s) not being handled particularly well by council,” he added.

Planning committee chairman and Alta Vista Coun.

Peter Hume disagreed with Chiarelli’s emergency fund

idea. Growth needs to pay for growth, he said, so park planners should be paid with the funds collected to build the parks everywhere in the city.

Chiarelli’s idea would have meant that levies on development would only pay for park planning in the suburban area, whereas urban councillors could draw on a citywide fund.

“What we’re doing here is setting two different standards. Fundamentally I don’t think that’s right,” Hume said.

“Give the same benefit to my

residents … I don’t have that privilege today.”

There are 70 parks projects on the books, 23 of which fall under the “cash-in-lieu of parkland” issue that was under discussion.

Mayor Jim Watson said he will ensure the city finds a more permanent solution during the next budget.

The Feb. 13 council meeting was the third time councillors have hammered on the issue. It was the only item of major contention during the 2013 budget process.

Kanata Nordic hosts Pretzel Race on Feb. 24 Kanata Nordic

EMC events - Kanata Nordicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual sprint race, The Pretzel, happens on Sunday, Feb. 24 at the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home base, the Bonnenfant Y Outdoor Centre.

Now in its fifth year, the race gets its name from the chocolate-coated pretzel medal all finishers receive. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big, family-oriented event, with skiers ages seven and up competing from all across the region.

This is a sprint event so

distances are short: from 350 metres for the youngest skiers up to 1,000 metres for senior ones.

Each skier is guaranteed at least three races through the day.

After the prologue, which serves to seat the racers, subsequent heats will be streamed so the best skiers compete against the best and those who are new to racing or just out there for the fun will compete at an appropriate level.

All skiers registered in

the Track Attack and Racing Rabbits programs have their race fee covered in their program cost.

We encourage all Jackrabbits to come out and join in the action as well. Please note that there wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a Bunnyrabbit activity this year.

The pace is fast and furious as heats go off every few minutes. Compared to other cross-country ski races, where racers head into the woods, you can see almost the entire race from many spots around the central training field.

All the event details, including maps of the courses and registration, are available on the club web site at kanatanordic.ca.

As with all of the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operations, the Pretzel relies on volunteers. Please consider pitching in â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we need help indoors and out.

Or just cook a batch of chilli and drop it off. High school students can earn volunteer hours too. To see what you can do, contact Lily Yip at kanatanordicevents@gmail. com.

Brewmaster Lon Ladell of Big Rig Brewery is seen with some of his company’s wares at the WinterBrewed festival held on Sparks Street this past weekend. Ticket holders flocked to the historic pedestrian mall to try samples of the region’s increasingly diverse selection of local brews.

EMC news - Beer is big in Ottawa, and it recently found a high-profile new venue.

The inaugural WinterBrewed festival, held on Sparks Street last weekend, 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.

Despite the cold winds, the street was packed with par-

high-quality learning environment with engaged and dynamic teachers

ticipants eager to sample the latest of what the region has to offer.

Beau’s All Natural Brewing Company took the festival’s theme to a whole other level by serving its suds from a bar made entirely from blocks of ice.

“We started (building it) Thursday, and finished installing the kegs on Saturday morning,” said Beau’s employee Rob Morra.

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. Those who showed up to quaff were likely surprised at the selection available. A notable new brew was Hogsback Brewery’s limited edition Aporkalpse Now Oatmeal Bacon Stout, which was launched

with much media buzz in Ottawa earlier this month. The company tweeted on Saturday night that demand was so high they had run out of the unusual brew.

The folks in the Big Rig Brewery tent saw lots of demand for their Double Chocolate Stout, which uses much more than just a heaping tablespoon of Belgian cocoa to create its signature colour and taste.

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.”

Vote for the next dinosaur star at nature museum Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Reassemble an entire skeleton or answer age-old questions concerning a horned dinosaur?

Provide a better understanding of the evolution of an uncommon beast, find a new, never-seen-before duckbilled dinosaur or uncover a potential rare carnivorous jaw?

These intriguing choices are what face visitors to the Canadian Museum of Nature when they help choose the museum’s next palaeo star.

Dino Idol is currently underway at the downtown museum, inviting patrons who visit the dinosaur exhibition to help pick the museum’s next research project.

The exhibition includes five dinosaur plaster casts, all with mystery and excitement waiting to be found inside.

The idea came from the museum’s post-doctoral fellow, Jordan Mallon, who said he thought it would be a great way for the public to interact with the museum’s research department. Mallon and fossil curator Kieran Shepherd are both excited about the new exhibition’s potential.

“From a collection perspective, they all would be pretty cool to open up,” Shepherd said of the five specimens currently in storage.

For the past 100 years, the fossils have been kept in field jackets – burlap and plaster casings – since fossil collec-

tors Charlie H. Sternberg and his son Charles M. Sternberg unearthed the bones in Alberta. The museum has kept them in storage ever since.

“This is incredibly exciting for me,” Mallon said. “You’re the first one looking at these things for the first time in close to 100 years.”

The “contestants” for Dino Idol are: • Regal Ed, a partial skeleton of a duck-billed dinosaur.

• Canadian Club, believed to be the back half of an armored dinosaur.

• Stumpy, the skull of a horned dinosaur that has resorbed (a re-distribution of the horn’s calcium for other purposes such as. laying eggs or healing injuries) its entire right brow horn – something Mallon said is incredibly rare and has never been observed.

• Mystery Jaw; the field notes from Sternberg simply say carnivorous dinosaur jaw, but looking at the size of the casting, Mallon predicts it’s from a huge carnivore.

• Headrosaur, this time the skull of a duck-billed dinosaur. Basic research of this casting suggests this skull could be something never seen before.

Mallon said he is excited by the prospect of any one of these specimens being revealed through the contest.

“Teeth, claws, clubs: there is a variety to choose from,” Mallon said.

The exhibition has illustrations above each casting, based on what Mallon de-

“The illustrations are awesome and I think it nicely represents what we think would be in there,” Mallon said. “Chances are we will be wrong, but that is what is exciting; to find out.”

Going from choosing a winning specimen to the day it goes on display at the museum will take time, however. S ome of the plaster jackets

Club hosts ATV Ride for Dad Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - It will be a four-wheeled affair on March 2 when the National Valley all-terrain vehicle club hosts the country’s first Ride for Dad for ATV enthusiasts.

The popular fundraiser for prostate cancer research has been embraced by motorcycle, snowmobile and water sport groups across Canada, but this is the first time an ATV club will host such an event.

Organizer Theo Janssen said the planning committee expects between 100 and 300 ATV users to join them for the 100-kilometre ride though the North Dundas area.

The event coincides with the club’s spring rally. The ride will begin at 10 a.m. and includes a barbecue lunch at the midway point and a catered dinner once everyone returns to home base at Mountain Township Agricultural Hall, 2967 Lough Rd. in South Mountain. The evening will include a silent auction with items like ATV tires and rims, an ATV snow plow, a crossbow, Ottawa Senators tickets and a Sidney Crosby jersey all donated by local businesses.

Participants must register in advance either online at www.

ridefordad.ca or at the Ottawa Boat and Sportsman Show on Feb. 23 at the Ernst and Young Centre in Ottawa. Registration costs $30 and includes lunch and dinner. Riders are encouraged to set fundraising goals and collect pledges toward them. Riders who raise more than $100 will have their registration fee refunded.

There are also prizes for top earners, as well as general draws for gift baskets and the “tough luck award” for someone who breaks down on the ride.

A celebrity rider, Ottawa Senators alumni Brad Marsh, will also be along for the ride that day.

Janssen said the club has challenged ATV clubs across the province to take part in the ride and to match the host club’s pledges. He said a number of clubs are travelling from out of town, including clubs from Barrie, Niagara Falls and the Toronto region, as well as nearby clubs in eastern Ontario.

Janssen said the club’s bi-annual rallies are usually fundraisers, and the decision to support prostate cancer research this year was easy.

“It affects one in seven men and it’s a great cause,” Janssen said. “We’ve seen the snowmobiles, water sports and motorcycle clubs have

done it and raised big funds, and so we thought why not get our name out as a respectable club.”

Indeed, making a positive name for themselves is a priority for members of the Nation Valley club, who are currently working with the City of Ottawa to approve a pilot project to allow ATVs on some roads and road allowances in the Osgoode area.

“We’ve always operated to clean up the image of ATVing, because before there were never any rules or regulations or areas for ATVs to even operate,” Janssen said.

“We want to do everything on the up and up.”

Janssen said the club doesn’t have a fundraising goal this year, but every bit helps.

“We basically said the sky’s the limit, because it’s our first ride,” he said. “We’re not sure what to expect.”

To date the Ride for Dad charity has raised $11 million for prostate cancer research and awareness across the country. Money raised through the Nation Valley event will be used to fight prostate cancer in the Ottawa area. To register or pledge a rider visit www.ridefordad. ca. To donate an item or sponsor part of the event contact Janssen at 613-614-0812.

can take years to chip away at using a tiny tool like a jackhammer, powered by air-pressure.

The five candidates have been chosen partly because the work may only take a few months to a year. Both Shepherd and Mallon didn’t want

the voting public to have to wait too long to see what was inside.

These five candidates are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the museum’s research facility, with thousands of other castings waiting to be opened. In his

25 years at the museum, Shepherd has only participated in two previous openings of a field jacket. Voting takes place until March 17.

The winner will be revealed on March 19. Regular admission to the museum is required to vote.

Get hired: students get a jump on summer job planning Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - Imagine using Facebook or a chain letter to get a summer job.

That’s what David Perry’s daughter did one summer. She managed to get 12 job offers out of 13 interviews in three weeks.

Perry is the managing director of Perry-Martel International, an employment recruiting and placement. He said he has negotiated more than $200 million in salaries since 1988.

He spoke at St. Pius X High School on Feb. 13 thanks to an invitation from the school’s parent council.

Despite the talk of the economic downturn, 17.6 million employees were hired in the United States last month according to Perry. Another 3.6 million jobs went unfilled.

Perry said the reason is many companies no longer post job openings.

“Google used to get 25,000 resumes per month,” he said.

“No one can look through that much. Now they seek out employees on sites like LinkedIn or Facebook.”

Perry’s daughter needed a summer job to fund a trip to

Heritage Streetcar proposed for Sparks Street Rail attraction for downtown Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

SUBMITTED

A simulated image of a heritage streetcar at the corner of Sparks Street and Metcalfe Street. The Ottawa Heritage Streetcar Committee is currently working at bringing streetcars back to Sparks Street. tor for the Sparks Street Mall Authority, said the streetcar would be a great way to celebrate the heritage of the street as well as provide an alternative way of getting around the core.

“I believe it would be 100 per cent complementary,” Gagne said. “The city’s light rail will have a much larger ridership. Sparks Street is meant to be pedestrian friendly and you will see, if it is de-

signed properly and promoted properly, (a streetcar) could be a huge advantage.”

Participants from the city and the National Capital Commission sit on the committee as well.

The idea of a circulator, like a streetcar available for visitors, tourists and shoppers, was first suggested in a study led by the Outaouais transit authority, STO, in 2000.

The concept was included

EMC news - The streetcar may soon make its return to Sparks Street if a local organization has its way.

The Ottawa Heritage Streetcar Committee wants to see an electric streetcar run from the Ottawa Convention Centre beside the Rideau Canal to the War Museum at LeBreton Flats. Made up of members of the public, the Sparks Street Mall Authority and Transport Action Canada, the group sees the line appealing to tourists. On Feb. 11, Transport Action Canada president David Jeanes presented the project to members of the Lowertown community.

“The Ottawa heritage streetcar idea is about revitalizing the downtown core, adding culture and heritage activity to Sparks Street,” Jeanes said.

Until 1959, Ottawa had an operating streetcar service which ran from Rockcliffe Park to the west end.

This particular project would bring back the streetcar to the downtown streets with a proposed 2.4-kilometre route, a large portion of which would run along Sparks Street.

Les Gagne, executive direc-

as part of the 2005 NCC core area plan, but NCC spokesman Mario Tremblay added the NCC has not given this streetcar proposal any formal support.

A preliminary cost estimate for the complete line is $16 million. Gagne said the group is working on exact costs and that a much shorter line, just along Sparks Street, is also a possibility.

As to how the project

He called his new post a political one and said while it won’t be as much fun as handing out cheques for infrastructure projects he is up to the task.

While still in Ottawa, Chiarelli has been in several briefings in preparation for a committee on the cancelled gas plants in Oakville and Mississauga.

would be funded, that’s up in the air as well. The group is looking at the possibility of seeking federal or provincial grants for the project, as well as seeking interest from prospective businesses and sponsors.

Whether or not there would be a cost to use the service also has yet to be determined.

“It’s going to be a paid service, but that is yet to be

confirmed,” Gagne said. “If we had a big sponsor, maybe it wouldn’t be.”

To create buzz, Gagne said the committee has been discussing the idea of bringing back Ottawa’s first original form of mass transit -- the horse-drawn streetcar -- to Sparks Street.

The executive director has been working hard at revitalizing Sparks Street, organizing a number of recent events including a New Year’s Eve party, a Winterlude treasure hunt and winter beer festivals.

A streetcar, Gagne said, could add to those efforts “It only gives people more reasons to come down,” he said.

The concept is to lay down one track, with a railroad switch for trains to pass when crossing streets. The electric streetcar could have its current running the traditional way, with overhead wires, with the possibility to convert to battery power in more open spaces, such as passing by the National War Memorial.

Stations would not require platforms.

For Sparks Street areas such as Kent and Lyon streets, Jeanes said he believes the streetcar could be the catalyst to revitalize the area.

“Generally, Kent and Lyon is a wasteland,” he said. “How exciting would it be to have a streetcar go through there?”

The plans are still in the early stages, working out actual costs and length of the route.

didn’t know the cost at the time,” he said. “It’s the job of the opposition to draw blood.

The premier has agreed to appear before the committee so we can show the opposition the process and be as transparent as possible.”

In the coming weeks, Chiarelli said he wants to meet with the opposition critics of the ministry to try and develop a working relationship.

He said he is well suited to the post because the opposition trusts him.

Chiarelli served on the board of Ottawa Hydro for six years. He also served on the board of The Independent Electricity System Operator, which he described as the heartbeat of the province’s electrical system.

“It’s a complex ministry,” Chiarelli said, adding he has to deal with supply, distribution and making sure residents have access to affordable electricity.

“It’s very broad, we have to look at generation, conservation, distribution, nuclear refurbishment and expansion,” Chiarelli said.

Joining Chiarelli in the cabinet will be Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi who was given the post as provincial Minister of Labour and Madeleine Meilleur, MPP for Ottawa Vanier will hang onto her post as Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services.

“I think we have a good cabinet,” Chiarelli said. “We are set to get to work.”

Ottawa’s #1 Ranked Soccer Club

OSU Celebrates 10 years, rise into leading local soccer club It’s been 10 years since members of South Nepean United and the Osgoode-Rideau Soccer Association approved the merger that gave life to Ottawa South United Soccer Club, and set out on an ambitious quest to become the best youth club in Ottawa and amongst the best in Ontario and Canada.

“We thought if we followed the principles and vision we setup, that it would realistically take over 15 years,” recalls OSU Founding and current President Bill Michalopulos.

OSU is now the only Ottawa club to: earn a Gold Level Club Excellence Award from the Ontario Soccer Association, top the Terra Ontario soccer club rankings and facilitate over 80 soccer scholarships for OSU’s players to universities /colleges all over North America.

LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND

Feeding the hungry City councillors and the mayor showed men at the Ottawa Mission some love by buying and serving lunch on Valentine’s Day. Here, Mayor Jim Watson pours juice for Colin M., who lives nearby and eats at the Sandy Hill shelter.

The annual event was organized by Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli on behalf of the 19 councillors and the mayor, who covered the cost and helped serve the Valentine’s Day-themed lunch. The Ottawa Mission serves an average of 1,240 meals and provides a warm place to sleep for 235 people.

It’s a safeguard for all your keys – not just car keys.

If you lose your keys, The War Amps can return them to you by courier – free of charge.

When you use War Amps key tags, you support the Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program.

Considering the significant challenge of bringing two clubs together under one banner, it was a fairly smooth transition from the start, reflects OSU founding member Rene Braendli.

“The leadership from both clubs wanted to make it happen, and I think that was the key,” explains the long-time South Nepean soccer leader and current OSU exec. “And we still have the people to push that vision along.”

The new alliance translated well on the ground level too. There’s a family feel that runs strong on teams throughout the club, highlights OSU coach Gord MacGregor.

“It’s an environment where we’re all there together, supporting each other no matter what,” describes the former ORSA player. “It’s important that every player, every parent and every coach has that camaraderie. Everyone really is a family. It’s like one big, giant team.

OSU hit many key milestones along the way to its 10th anniversary (see sidebar for more details). This includes establishing strategic alliances with leading clubs in the U.S. and Europe – the Dallas Texans and Everton FC – and providing a dedicated staff approach to running a community club in order to provide better programs so players can develop and have more fun.

“We still depend on our volunteers and we’re very thankful we have our volunteers to carry most of the load,” Michalopulos notes, adding that those same people recognize the indispensable value of having full-time staff such as Jim Lianos, Club General Manager since almost Day 1.

“It wasn’t sustainable. That’s the old model,” Michalopulos emphasizes. “We knew we had to improve on the management organization of the club in order to perform at a certain level in a sustainable manner.

“We were able to put together an environment for excellence. On a grand level, we have simply pushed soccer forward in Ottawa and improved the level of play. That’s our biggest accomplishment.”

A major project – which now stands as a physical symbol of the club’s progress and perseverance over many years – was the construction of six playing fields in Manotick to accommodate a growing player base that’s now exceeded 6,500 – from youth recreational/ developmental soccer to competitive/elite, through to the adult & senior levels.

Within two years, a home clubhouse will be built at George Nelms Sports Park, a further signal of the bright future that lies ahead for OSU. Also playing a key role in ongoing success will be UEFA ‘A’ Licence Coach Paul Harris – a recent groundbreaking addition as OSU Club Head Coach via Everton’s famed youth academy

Providing an environment for high performance players to move onto the next level is an OSU trademark, with over 80 players receiving scholarships to play university and college soccer in Canada and the U.S., and others recruited into professional team academies.

Tickets are 100 $

Without discounting the tremendous success OSU has achieved in consistently winning championships locally, becoming a force in the province’s top youth league, and even besting top opponents from around the world at the exclusive Disney College Showcase and Dallas Cup events, perhaps the biggest source of pride is seeing the deeper impact the club has made on members’ lives over 10 years.

“We’re a huge part of the community. You walk around in the summer and every field is being used by the club and you see soccer players all over the place,” Braendli smiles. “It’s been a fantastic journey, but this is not the end. We’re still pushing ahead and we’ve still got to do better. We cannot stand still.”

“It was a good marriage of two complimentary clubs,” says Michalopulos. “There was an understanding that 1 + 1 = 3 or that the sum is greater than the two parts coming together.

We were simply determined to see our youth play better soccer and have more fun doing it.”

“We want to mimic the best of what they do overseas here in order to improve soccer development for our players and coaches,” Lianos underlines. “And Paul knows the Everton way as well as anyone.”

Both original clubs recognized that there was a gap at the time in how soccer was delivered at the grassroots level in Ottawa and frustrated by the then common organizational and operating models, which were not conducive to the proper development of players and coaches. They realized that with ORSA’s management expertise and South Nepean’s strong soccer programs, combining forces offered great potential.

To have, to love and then to part, Is the greatest sorrow of one’s heart.

Time doesn’t take away the memory, Of the happy days we all had together.

Sadly missed, Shirley

Carolyn Bayford (nee Badham)

DEATH NOTICE

In loving memory of a dear sister who passed away February 21, 2011 The years may wipe out many things But this they’ll wipe out never, The memory of those happy days When we were all together.

We think of you in silence, Her name we oft recall, But there’s nothing left to answer But her picture on the wall.

Just when her life was brightest, Just when her hopes were best, God called her from among us To a home of eternal rest.

Lovingly remembered, Jim & Lorraine Tim & Arda Brent & Mary

McGuinty said he would support any moves to bring back the Ottawa-Gatineau region to where it was in early 2000s when the region was receiving 60 to 70 per cent of all venture capital invested in Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are now down well below 25 per cent and that is unfortunate,â&#x20AC;? said McGuinty.

Sugar bush fundraiser to sweeten DIFD coffers Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - There’s nothing sweet about struggling with mental health issues, but one Metcalfe student is hoping maple syrup can help.

Sierra Stanley, whose family owns Stanley’s Olde Maple Lane Farm in Edwards, will sell traditional maple taffy on Feb. 23 with all proceeds heading to the Do It For Daron foundation.

Feb. 23 marks the first day of Stanley’s Farm’s six-week sugar bush season, which continues until April 7. But that day also marks a chance to help Ottawa youth who are struggling with depression, suicidal thoughts and other mental health issues.

Between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. visitors can enjoy a maple taffy treat made in a trough of snow for $2.50. The farm is donating the maple syrup supplies, and Stanley and her friend Delaney Hopper will run the shack. All proceeds will go to the Do It For Daron initiative.

Stanley, 15, and Hopper, 14, began fundraising for the cause last year when they attended Stonecrest Elementary School in West Carleton, where they

both live. They raised just over $160 selling “Bunny Grams” to students around the Easter season.

This year, Stanley is in Grade 9 at Osgoode Township High School in Metcalfe because her family plans to move to the area, and Hopper goes to Arnprior High School. But the pair has continued to fundraise for youth mental health programs because they know how important they can be.

“Twelve and 13-year-olds shouldn’t be dealing with suicidal thoughts and depression,” Stanley said. She didn’t know DIFD’s namesake Daron Richardson, the daughter of Ottawa Senators assistant coach Luke Richardson who committed suicide at age 14 in 2010, but she believes that programs like those offered through the Royal Ottawa and Youth Services Bureau could have saved her.

“Someone could have probably helped her, they just didn’t know how.”

This year Stanley and Hopper hope to beat last year’s final tally and raise $200 - although that goal could easily be overcome within the first few hours on the farm.

Sugar bush season organizer Susan Faith-Lecoupe said anywhere between 400 and 1,500

people could visit the farm if the weather is nice.

“If each person buys a taffy, it adds up to a significant number. And some people do buy more than one,” she said.

The farm will be open for sugar bush tours every Saturday and Sunday from Feb. 23 to April 7, and from March 12 to 15 during Ontario’s March Break. The farm offers sleigh and wagon rides, a chance to meet the animals who live on the farm, and of course a demonstration of how maple syrup is made.

Beginning March 16, the farm will also run Easter egg hunts for the little kiddies on Saturdays and Sundays.

“The kids and their parents or grandparents take a tractordrawn wagon into the bunny bush and are told a story by the two Easter bunnies, that they’ve lost their eggs. The little kids will help them find them,” Faith-Lecoupe said.

The children will receive a peanut-free goodie bag to take home. Participants must register in advance on the website, www.stanleysfarm.com. The cost is $5 per adult and $7 per child.

The farm is located at 2452 Yorks Corners Road in Edwards.

EMMA JACKSON/METROLAND

Sierra Stanley, 15, will host a fundraiser for Do It For Daron at her family’s sugar bush farm in Edwards on Feb. 23. All proceeds from maple taffy sales will be donated to the charity that supports youth mental health awareness.

Anger grows among contractors over Bill 119 Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

EMC news - A growing movement against Ontario’s Bill 119 reached the front door of Ontario Labour Minister Yasir Naqvi’s office on Feb. 15, as construction contractors protested legislation that they say accomplishes the opposite of the government’s goals.

Since going into effect on Jan. 1, construction contractors in the province are required to register with the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) for coverage, even if they already have private insurance policies.

When passed, the provincial Liberals claimed the legislation would help increase workplace safety while tackling the underground construction economy, but opponents say it places an unfair economic burden on both contractors and home buyers while creating conditions that would actually encourage unregulated activities.

“It’s too much,” said organizer and spokesperson Juliette Forgues, who works at Les Fondations Brissons in Casselman.

“The effect on the construction industry will be too much

of a financial burden. Many are discouraged and are saying they will close their doors. It’s affecting everybody.”

Forgues said the extra expense of WSIB coverage over private coverage gives workers no extra protection and simply increases costs that will be reflected in the cost of services and the final product.

“It costs four to five times what workers with private insurance pay,” said Forgues.

The effect on the construction industry will be too much.

JULIETTE FORGUES CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTOR

“It’s mandatory, and people have no choice. I don’t know how (the province) could force everybody to pay something like that.”

On Feb. 13 contractors protested outside the WSIB offices on Kent Street and the Ministry of Labour offices on Preston Street. A website, www.stopwsibbill119.com has

been set up, and a protest consisting of workers from across the province has been scheduled for Feb. 28 on the grounds of Queen’s Park.

Among those outside Naqvi’s office on Friday were contractors Francoise Latrour and Alain Seguin, who boast 20 and 37 years of construction experience, respectively.

The two men say costs of individual services as well as final home prices could rise between eight and 12 per cent due to the mandatory WSIB coverage. Not only that, they state the coverage provided by the WSIB is fraught with technicalities and do not provide the 24/7 coverage they had with private companies.

“I’m already insured, and pay $2,000 per year for 24/7 coverage,” said Latrour. “With WSIB coverage I will be charged $8,000 per year for eight hours a day of coverage.”

Latrour said many seasonal construction workers work longer hours during the summer months and were previously able to buy coverage that suited their work hours. He wants Bill 119 to be reversed to allow those with private insurance to keep their private policies.

“We don’t want to increase the cost of houses, because it’s already high,” said Seguin.

“The economy will suffer.

Small contractors will be pushed out of business, while large companies will survive.

We have kids – we’re doing this for their future.”

Naqvi, who was sworn into his cabinet post on Feb. 11, said he is learning about the issue in more detail.

“My role as Minister of Labour is to improve the health and safety of all workers in Ontario and also reduce the underground economy,” said Naqvi. “I’ve seen many examples – the construction sector in particular is prone to injuries … and we need to take precautions to prevent these.”

When pressed on the issue of Bill 119, which Naqvi’s website lists as a “legislative achievement” that will “strengthen the skills, health and prosperity of Ontarians,” Naqvi stated he was open to dialogue on the matter.

“The Ministry of Labour is working very closely with interested stakeholders to progressively implement all aspects of this legislation,” he said. “As a result of the conversations there have been concessions. We are looking at

Forgues isn’t certain the best interests of the construction industry was first and foremost in the government’s mind when the legislation was passed.

“Everybody knows the

province has a deficit of $14 billion,” she said. “(The province) needs the money, and they’re saying this will bring in $300 million in revenue.

Who’s paying for that? It’s everybody who’s buying a new home and the contractors who build it.”

You may need an extra dose of patience this week, Taurus. Some difficult tasks are ahead and you will be in charge of getting things back to normal.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

Libra, someone you can trust will be by your side this week when you need the most support. He or she also can help with sorting through financial concerns.

Scorpio, you may need to take a look at your finances and any things you can do to address any issues. Tweak things that have not been working as you had hoped.

Sagittarius, make some concessions if it means keeping the peace around the house. Sometimes you have to simply sit back and let others be in the spotlight.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

Cancer, some issues that require your attention arise at the office even though you may feel you have already devoted enough time to work responsibilities this week.

Are you ready for surprises, Aries? If not, loosen up a little bit because there is a little excitement in store for you. It will come when you least expect it.

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

The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Sometimes things last, but other times they fizzle away, Aquarius. You may not be able to predict the outcome of everything, but you can take steps to protect the things you want to save.
