Taggart proposes options for Varley retirement residence Jessica Cunha
jessica.cunha@metroland.com
News - Beaverbrook residents had the opportunity to look at two preliminary proposals for a senior’s residence on Varley Lane at a small community meeting on the Family Day holiday, Feb. 17. Around 15 residents attended to look over the preliminary proposals designed by architect firm S.J. Lawrence, said Neil Thomson, director of planning for the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association. The notice for the meeting was emailed late in the evening on Friday, Feb. 14. Taggart Group is proposing a retirement residence at 100 Varley Lane on the same land as the current eight-storey Varley Apartments. The group has two options for the new building: • The first proposal is a multi-tiered apartment from seven-storeys at its peak to two-
storeys at the lowest level. The building allows for a smaller footprint on the lot, with more open space and landscaping, according to the plan. • The second option is a fourstorey building. The second option takes up a larger footprint, extending into a berm and landscape space along Varley to make up for the difference in height. Both buildings would contain 125 units and a floor for assisted living, according to the plan. Thomson said there was no clear consensus on which option the attendees liked the most. “I didn’t get any sense of strong opinion one way or the other,” he said, adding much of the feedback has been positive thus far. Personally, he said he likes the tiered seven-storey building because it takes up less space on the lot and the tiers offer opportunities for outdoor ameni-

“We’ve worked really hard with the residents of Beaverbrook,” she said. “I have to say, working as a planning consultant, that really goes to the commitment of the Taggart Group – to try and really do something that fits with the community.” AGE IN PLACE
The retirement residence would be connected to the Varley Apartments with a covered hallway. Having the two buildings connect would allow people to age in place and easily make the move from independent to retirement living. And those living in the Varley Apartments could also take advantage of the à la carte amenities in the new building. “I think it really is going to be a very unique building concept. As far as we’re aware there is no other model like this in Ottawa,” said Meloshe. “It’s really a great concept.” Thomson said being able to age in place is a good idea. “(People) can start in Varley Apartment then move to the new residence,” he said. “There seems to be pretty strong acceptance of an age-in-place ap-

Marianne Wilkinson said many of the current residents in the Varley Apartments like the idea of a connected retirement residence. “The apartment building there has mostly seniors in it,” she said, adding she knows of two women, one 101 years old
and other 97, who are living independently. “(They) like the idea of a seniors residence,” said Wilkinson. “They can move next door for more assistance when needed.” Wilkinson said a public meeting will be held once a proposal is submitted to the city. R0012578897

ties. Both proposals show extensive landscaping, with new trees and pathways throughout the open space on the property. The land is already zoned for a retirement residence and both buildings come in at the current zoning height, but Taggart has to apply to the city to rezone the number of units allowed. Eighty-five units are allowed under the current zoning. Taggart hasn’t yet applied for a zoning amendment but plans to make a formal application in mid- to late-March, said Nancy Meloshe, urban planning consultant working with Taggart. The next step, once the proper zoning is in place, is to create a site plan and then look at construction sometime in the next two years. “It will really depend upon demand in the market,” said Meloshe. “When the demand is ready then they would construct the building.” Meloshe added that Taggart has worked closely with the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association to make sure the idea of the building fits with the character of the neighbourhood.

Teron Road proposal moves forward Development application to be sent to planning committee Jessica Cunha
jessica.cunha@metroland.com
News - A development application for two buildings on Teron Road will likely go to planning committee on March 25, said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson at her town hall meeting on Feb. 25. The proposal on the city’s development application website still shows a nine-storey building coupled with a threestorey apartment complex at 1131 Teron Rd. but Wilkinson said there is a chance the three-storey could be turned into townhouses. “The problem with the little apartment is they have balconies,” she said. “You’ll be looking right into people’s backyards.”
The developer Phil Bottriell, who owns the 1.48 hectares of land at 1131 Teron Rd., first floated the idea to the community in 2011. An application was sent to the city in 2012 for a 10- and 15-storey, two-tiered building, as well as six three-storey townhouses. More than 300 residents attended a public meeting in August 2012 to voice their opposition to a highrise in the middle of a low-rise community. In 2013, the proposal came back with the two buildings, nine-storeys along the hydro easement on the property and a three-storey building backing onto Bethune Court. Because the land is close to a future transit station on March Road, the city’s policy allows up to nine storeys. “I actually told the planner, ‘If you go and zone it that high, I will personally go to the OMB (Ontario Municipal Board),’” said Wilkinson. “I will not accept that kind of imposition on the community. “This is one the community will fight. I don’t think we have any choice.”
Recently, the OMB ruled against a 14- and 16-storey building on Roosevelt Avenue in Westboro. Wilkinson said the decision bodes well for Beaverbrook. “We’ll just have to see what happens,” she said. WANT TRANSIT AUDIT
Wilkinson said she’d like to see the city complete a transit audit, especially in the suburbs where OC Transpo service is poor. “I didn’t make myself too popular with this one,” she said. Kanata, Stittsville and File other outlying suburbs like The development application for 1131 Teron Rd. will likely go to planning by the end of Barrhaven have poor transit March. service, she said.

Suite hotel set for town centre
RefoRming the national Marriott plans to build Capital Commission five-storey hotel on By Jim Watson
Maritime Way Jessica Cunha
I have long been an advocate for reform at the National Capital Commission (NCC) and since being elected Mayor in 2010 it has only become more apparent to me that this is an organization that needs to change or else risk hindering the progress of our great city. As a first step toward reform Mayor Maxime PedneaudJobin of Gatineau and I recently wrote to Prime Minister Stephen Harper to ask that the Mayors of Ottawa and Gatineau be given the ability to each name a directly elected representative to the NCC board of directors, to be nominated by our respective City Councils. The key reason for this letter is that the majority of the NCC’s current board members are neither from the National Capital Region nor chosen by its residents and that should not be the case. I understand wanting to bring pan-national representation to the board but those who know Ottawa best are those who live here not those who fly in for board meetings. It would be a common sense reform towards accountability to make the majority of the NCC board members National Capital residents.

Refocusing the NCC’s mandate could understandably take some time but I believe that the board of directors of the NCC can be made more accountable and representative of Ottawa’s interests immediately should the Prime Minister act on the recommendation of our joint letter to him.

Warmest
More broadly, I believe that the NCC needs to refocus its mandate. Over the past three years as Mayor, my council colleagues and I have worked well with the NCC but often we are discussing the minutia of city projects such as what types of plants will be planted at our Light Rapid Transit (LRT) stations. These are issues that our city staff members are more than capable to handle on their own while the NCC should be focused on the large-scale issues of national significance for which they are mandated.
The taxpayers of Ottawa and Gatineau deserve to be represented at the NCC because the organization’s decisions have direct financial implications for them. It is time for their voices to be heard not only at the city council table but also at the NCC board room table and I believe that this would be a welcome first step towards reforming an organization that has lost its way.

Businesses will experience less change, especially in cit-
ies. Canada Post’s announcement states that most businesses in the affected areas will keep door-to-door delivery. A higher proportion of businesses will be converted to community mailboxes in smaller municipalities.

News - Almost 8,000 Kanata residents will be some of the first in Canada to lose door-todoor mail delivery this fall. Canada Post announced on Oct. 20 that addresses with postal codes K2K, K2L and K2M in the city’s west end will be among 11 communities to be converted to community mailboxes. Canada Post announced the money-saving move in December. It said most of the remaining five million Canadians who still have door-to-door service – about a third of the population – will be converted to group delivery by 2015. The Canadian Union of Postal Workers disputes that figure. Based on Canada Post’s annual report from 2012, Peter Denley, a spokesman for the union, said only 25 per cent of Canadians currently receive mail to a community mailbox. Another 25 per cent receive mail at a centralized point such
as an apartment lobby. Thirtythree per cent of Canadians in urban areas receive doorto-door service, in addition to five per cent of residents who get rural door-to-door mailbox delivery. There will be no change to mail delivery for people living in multi-residential buildings such as apartments, condos and seniors buildings that already have a form of group mail delivery such as lobby mail slots. Delivery also won’t change for rural residents who have their mail delivered to a mailbox at the end of their driveway. Canada Post’s December announcement sparked concerns about increased difficulty for people with mobility concerns accessing their mail. After the initial community mailbox roll-out was released, Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley announced he would work with community associations in his area to set up a system to “ensure that any resident who needs help retrieving their weekly mail will
have assistance from someone in the community.” Residents who are interested in volunteering for that mail assistance effort can contact the councillor’s office at allan. hubley@ottawa.ca. Canada Post is also cognizant of the potential effect on people with disabilities. In its announcement, the Crown corporation states: “Canada Post understands that some seniors and Canadians with disabilities may not be able to get to their community mailbox, and it is committed to ensuring that no one is left behind from accessing the mail service.” Canada Post stated it may need to offer “additional solutions for people with significant mobility challenges, who lack viable alternatives and would face unacceptable hardship.” Kanata and the rest of the communities across the country involved in the first wave of conversions to group mailboxes were chosen because they are nearby areas that already have communal mailboxes. Residents in the affected postal codes areas will soon receive an information package in the mail. It will include

Get rail crossing right
W
hile hearts may be in the right place at city hall in the aftermath of a tragic bus crash that left six people dead in Barrhaven last year, lasting safety at the level rail crossing where the collision occurred will only be found in drastic measures. It was revealed last week that the city has hired an outside consultant to look at whether or not it would be feasible to have OC Transpo buses stop at rail crossings, much like school buses are currently required to do. Buses in Gatineau also follow this practice, something OrlÊans Coun. Bob Monette pointed out during debate surrounding the issue at city council on Feb. 26. Whether or not such a move would do any more than just ease public fears about this issue remains to be seen. At many level crossings in the city, such as where the Via tracks cross Merivale Road just east of the Woodroffe Road crossing where the crash occurred, stopping every time may be all that can be done. But at the specific crossing in question, where the Transitway meets the Via tracks near Fallowfield Station, it’s difficult to see how requiring buses to stop is the best answer. The initial reports following the incident show that the safety arm was down and
in place when the collision happened, so it’s difficult to say it would have been effective to have the bus stop at the crossing. Safety procedures can help reduce the number of potential hazards, but can’t prevent everything, including human error. That’s a big problem when it comes to rail crossings. Any failure to heed warnings or follow safety procedures has the potential to result in a significant loss of life. This is why there can be no margin for error when it comes to the Woodroffe crossing. At any other crossing, speed is much lower, and buses are travelling on public road. Forcing those buses to stop wouldn’t be a big deal. The Transitway running parallel to Woodroffe is not a public road and is designed for efficient movement of public transit at high speeds. Making the crossing at Fallowfield Station safe through additional procedures is not only unrealistic, it would defeat the purpose of the Transitway. This leaves only a more drastic course of action: grade separation or, in layman’s terms, an overpass or underpass. If light rail ever goes to Barrhaven, you’ll need one anyway. Create one for traffic on four-lane Woodroffe, too, while you’re at it. It would be expensive, but the benefit – safety – would surely outweigh the cost.

A nickel for your thoughts
B
uried away in a complicated recent report about the Canadian Mint and how it earns money was a statement by a Finance Department spokesman that there is no intention of doing away with the nickel. That’s a relief. Or is it? Many of us were relieved when the penny was finally put out of its misery. What with accumulation of one cent coins, it was getting so there was no room on the dresser for paper clips, old credit card receipts and phone numbers that you couldn’t remember whose they were. On the other hand, some of us had a nostalgic attachment to the thing: we remembered how it felt to be a kid, collecting pennies and getting ready to take them to the store when there were enough of them. But it was difficult to cling to the nostalgia when it became clear that a penny didn’t buy anything anymore and even two pennies weren’t worth a lot either. It’s actually quite difficult to discover what two cents will buy you. The Internet is not helpful, except to inform us that what used to be known as penny candy is now sold in bulk or online.

For some reason nickels don’t accumulate the way pennies used to. And it is slightly frightening to think of a marketplace in which every transaction is rounded up or down to the nearest 10 cents, although we have survived the rounding to five pretty well. In fact, one of the things you don’t often hear is people complaining about being shortchanged in the rounding process.

other side of the coin, is merchants complaining about how much they have lost in the process. Maybe we are growing up. As long as it’s not about ice dancing we seem capable of staying calm. So should we encourage the government to hold on to the nickel? It’s a nice-looking little coin, with a beaver on one side and the Queen on the other. Never did anybody any harm. (Neither did the Queen, although the beaver is not without its critics.) The nickel was bit cooler when it had 12 sides instead of its current none, which was given to us in 1963. But you can’t have everything and, no matter what small misgivings we might have about the nickel, it is not pleasant to contemplate a future in which the dime fulfils the functions now filled by the nickel and previously occupied by the penny. Here’s the thing, though: is the nickel really all that useful to you anymore? Do you spend them? Do you stick a bunch of them in your pocket the way you used to do with pennies, so that you might be able to get rid of some of them? Or are you already resigned to the nickel going and the dime becoming the new penny?
Certainly there has been agitation for this since the penny was eliminated, even in political circles. NDP MP Pat Martin said a year ago that the nickel is “just a drain on the economy as well as an unnecessary cost to the mint.� He pointed out, as others have before him, that it costs more to mint a nickel than a nickel is worth. Martin even introduced a private member’s bill in the House of Commons urging the abolition of the nickel. Obviously it failed, since the nickel is still with us. But for how long?

The economic upshot of marriage
W
ant to be wealthier? Get married. According to a new study by the Institute of Marriage and Family Canada, marriage is a powerful protector against poverty. At the same time, people within a marital union have a greater chance of accumulating wealth. It makes sense. A family headed by a couple often means there is more than one person contributing to household income. But according to researchers Philip Cross and Peter Jon Mitchell at the institute, the significance of marriage to family income – and to the overall economy -runs deeper than that simple equation. Marriage, they argue, provides both emotional and financial stability, not just for individuals in the marriage, but for the overall economy. Their research shows,
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse for example, that married couples are more likely to be supported through stressful life events. As one person interviewed by the institute said, when you’re married, “you know someone’s always got your back.” But it’s more than just the spouse that has your back, say Cross and Mitchell. Married couples, generally, experience more stability in relationships with their extended families as well – so they also tend to have greater access to emotional and financial support from in-laws, parents and other relatives when the going gets tough.
The natural co-relation to the economy, therefore, is that married people are less stressed, less prone to illness and therefore less likely to be absent from work. And the marriage income gap is more pronounced than you may think. In 2011, according to Statistics Canada, 86 per cent of people in high-income families were married, compared to just 12 per cent in the lowest income families. About half of middle income families have tied the knot. The authors look at the decline in marriage over a 35-year-period. They note
that the incidence of marriage has declined in all income groups since 1976, with the largest increase in divorce and separation occurring after changes to the Divorce Act in 1986, and most prevalent among the lowest income earners. But – and for proponents of marriage, this is good news – marriage numbers have levelled off since the 1990s, while divorce levels have declined. In the lowest income group, there was actually a moderate increase in marriage from 1998-2011. What about cohabitation? Since the early 1980s, when Statistics Canada first began tracking the number of common-law unions, there has been a threefold increase in these types of partnerships, from 5.6 per cent in 1981 to 16.7 per cent in 2011. Supporting research has shown that common-law unions and marriages that
began as common-law unions are “statistically less stable” than marital unions, report the authors. In other words, the positive co-relation between wealth and marriage does not hold true for couples that are co-habiting. So what does this mean and why should we care? The authors make the argument that governments should take the economic benefits of marriage seriously and continue to form policies in all areas that are marriage friendly. This includes everything from income-splitting and tax credits to the creation of family-friendly work policies, which they argue could remove some of the pressure from dual income-earning families and marriages. They even make the case for government-sponsored marriage counselling. Starting in July this year, the

Australian government has been doing just that, offering $200 vouchers that couples can use for therapy, financial counselling or other required interventions. Cross and Mitchell argue governments have a valid economic reason to educate the public about the benefits of delaying parenthood as well. They point to research out of the United States that suggests individuals who complete post-secondary school, get a job and marry before having children are highly unlikely to ever live below the poverty line. What’s the takeaway? If you’re single and feeling out of pocket since that recent RRSP contribution, maybe it’s time to get hitched.

Students participate in city’s community design process Continued from page 1
The models were created from the 12 design plans submitted by residents after a public planning workshop last October. “I like aspects of each and I don’t like aspects of each,� said Judy Makin, past-president of the March Rural Community Association. “I think the last meeting (in October) was a brilliant strategy.� All of the concepts provide street connections with roundabouts that can be used as bus loops and a park-andride is planned for the area on or near March Road. The community design plans aren’t set in stone and the hope is that residents will comment on what they like and what they don’t. From the remarks, the city plans to create one master design plan that will be presented at a future public meeting. “We can pick, we can choose, we can match,� said West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry. “If you see things you want to have changed (or) added, you can do that,� said Ka-
nata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. Ward annexed The urban boundary expansion lands are currently part of the West Carleton-March ward but will become part of Kanata North when it’s built. The ďŹ nal community design plan selected will become a guideline for the developers and builders in the area, said Wendy Tse, city planner. It will also help mitigate the impacts on the existing neighbourhoods that will boarder the expansion lands. The guiding principles of the community design plan are to “respect the existing adjacent communities and neighbourhoods,â€? she said. All the plans show buffers against the Brookside, Marchbrook Circle and Hillsview communities. What those buffers will be is up to the public, said Murray Chown, project manager with Novatech Engineering working on the housing project. “We’re still looking for some feedback on what people think it should be,â€? he said, adding residents are encouraged to let the planners know what types of screening
they think is acceptable, such as parks. All the plans show the larger commercial retail in the same place along March Road, with smaller shops located closer to the new neighbourhoods. The aim is to keep higher density closer to March Road and lower density near the existing communities, but to also create neighbourhood “focal points,â€? said Chown. Many of the designs feature high density coupled with schools and parks, and some with retail to act as areas of interest. The deadline for comments on the four plans is March 10.

John Young Elementary starts anti-bullying program Adam Kveton
adam.kveton@metroland.com
Community – A program created to combat bullying and taunting in elementary schools was introduced at John Young Elementary School on Feb. 27. The WITS program, which started in B.C., uses fiction stories and a pair of acronyms to teach and encourage students to use several simple techniques to deal with instances of taunting or bullying. Students from kindergarten to grade 3 are taught the WITS acronym, meaning “walk away, ignore, talk it out and seek help,” illustrating the four strategies younger students are asked to try to resolve problems with classmates. Students from grade 4 to 6 learn the LEADS acronym, which stands for “look and listen, explore points of view, act, did it work? seek help.” Students from kindergarten to grade 3 were the first to participate in a swearing-in ceremony where students were deputized as WITS Special Constables. The assembly also included taking a school-wide oath promising to use WITS and help others do the same and a special handshake. Students in grade 4 to 6 were next, learning the slightly more advanced LEADS acronym. Vice Principal of John Young Elementary, Dianne Khawas, introduced the program to students, emphasizing the need for everyone to actively participate in the program for it to work. “I think (it will work) because it is schoolwide, because all the teachers, all the kids are using the same language,” she said later in an
interview, adding that parent participation is important as well. “If the parents are using the same language, then it makes for a concerted effort on everybody’s part.” Khawas said she hopes the program has an impact on how and when students deal with teasing and taunting, learning what situations they can deal with themselves, and when to find help. Khawas estimates that most of what occurs in elementary schools is teasing and taunting rather than bullying, as bullying involves repeated teasing of the same person. But she said the program should help students deal with these issues before they become systematic. Students in Grades 4 to 6 are expected to take on a little bit more responsibility, helping younger students to sort out their problems based on the LEADS strategies. John Young is the 46th Ottawa public school to take on the program, which began at Lampson Street Elementary School in Esquimalt, B.C. in 1993. Khawas said the program is already having an impact at John Young, with students coming to their teachers with stories of how they worked through a disagreement. Now, it’s about keeping the momentum going, said Khawas.That will involve continuing to read the fiction stories associated with the program in class, and a logo design competition to make WITS buttons. Khawas said she was very excited to start the program, and encouraged parents to check out the WITS website to learn more about the program: www.witsprogram.ca/families.

Simply Cook and Enjoy This year, for nutrition month, Ottawa Public Health wants to encourage residents to get back to basics - Simply Cook and Enjoy. Meals made at home from basic ingredients provide the necessary nutrients for growth, development and well being – and they often cost less! Get back to basics by choosing healthier options such as:
Fruit and vegetables Canada’s Food Guide recommends at least seven vegetables and fruit servings for all individuals 14 years of age and over. Making an effort to include a variety of vegetables and fruit in every meal and snack is an excellent way of ensuring that these recommendations are met.
Whole grain products that are high in fibre Whole grains are a great source of fibre and help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Fibre-rich foods help you feel full and satisfied. Choosing grain products that
have ‘whole grain’ listed as the first item on the ingredient list are often the healthiest.
Lower fat milk products Milk products are important for developing strong bones and reducing the risk of osteoporosis. Choosing lower fat milk and alternative products are a good source of calcium, vitamins D, and protein. For individuals over the age of 50, a daily vitamin D supplement of 400 IU is also recommended.
Lean meat and alternatives The meat and alternative group provides nutrients such as iron, B vitamins, and protein. Choosing leaner cuts of meats and including alternative sources such as beans, lentils and tofu will limit the amount of saturated fat in the diet. Nuts and seeds contain healthy fats, which are beneficial for cardiovascular health. Eating fish will also reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Many people have come to rely on processed and convenience foods instead of home cooked meals. Although some processed foods can be healthy, many contain added fats, sugars and salt. Examples include canned soups, luncheon meats, breakfast cereal, frozen meals, salty snacks and candy.

Senators Sports and Entertainment largest contributor to university: study Michelle Nash
michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - Senators Sports and Entertainment directly contributes $100 million every year to the city’s economy, according to a new study from the University of Ottawa. The study, conducted over the course of two years, sought to quantify the economic impact of the sports and entertainment group had on the Ottawa-Gatineau region. Lead researcher Norm O’Reilly announced the study estimates the annual direct and indirect economical impact the organization has on the city is $204 million at the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce annual chair’s luncheon on Feb. 24. Of that figure, the study indicates $100 million is the direct impact on the local economy. Looking at the 21-year history of the SSE, O’Reilly said it was fair to estimate the club has generated more than $3 billion indirectly for the region since the Ottawa Sena-
tors made its return to the National Hockey League. O’Reilly said the club did not commission the study, but club president Cyril Leeder did attend the Chamber’s luncheon. “What the report highlights to me is that we are more than just a hockey team,” Leeder said. The report also looked at data that could not be easily quantified, things referred to as community benefits, including branding, community spirit and pride. “It’s another impact,” O’Reilly said. “These are the positive things you don’t associate with numbers.” That information was collected by conducting interviews with organizations, residents and community groups. Focused on the impact of the SSE, the study analyzed reports and finances of the Canadian Tire Centre and Sensplex facilities, including the Bell Capital Cup as well as other sporting events such as national
championships and tournaments, concerts and major events. Financials from the Ottawa Senators, the Ottawa Senators Foundation, the Rink of Dreams, Rogers House and other groups were included in the study and according to the university, offers the most detailed review of SSE’s regional impact ever conducted. According to the study, the NHL team has attracted more than 118,000 people from outside the OttawaGatineau region in both regular season and playoff games. Tourism by non-local visitors to both the Sensplex and Bell Capital Cup, the study states generates $21.7 million annually. Concerts and music events at the Canadian Tire Centre generate an estimated $4.3 million each year and since 1992, close to half a million people have participated in at least one of the club’s events. Leeder said the club was committed to continuing offering area-resi-

A night at community rink left everyone warm with contentment MARY COOK Memories of it would be spilled before hitting the rink, and a pail of water did little to build up the ice. No one got on the ice until it was of the depth the senior fourth boys thought was proper, and this could take weeks at the start of winter. And then, finally, it was deemed suitable. What a day that was. Miss Crosby, who excused no one from a full day of schooling, on that day cut the classes short, allowed us to bring what passed for skates, and have an hour of fun before heading home. And what an hour it was. Of course, the ice was full of lumps and cracks and ridges, and until we learned what area of the rink to avoid, we spent most of the time picking ourselves up off the new ice. A couple of the farm fathers had made wide-bladed shovels,
attached to the handle of forks, and the rule was that after each use, the ice had to be shovelled off, and the accumulated snow shoved through the two openings at either end of the rink. The older boys took advantage of this chore, and did it with their skates still on. I noticed they always managed to get a good skate in while doing it, and often managed to get a fast game of shinny in the bargain. If there wasn’t a Saturday night house party in the community, whole families went to the Northcote School rink. Most came on big flat-bottomed sleighs, and they circled a big steel barrel that was filled with firewood, and once lit, the flames shot a mile into the sky, and even though there was scarcely enough heat to take the chill out of your bones, it gave a bit of relief to the freezing night air.
Women sat on the sleighs wrapped in blankets, and most of the men stood around the burning barrel, smoking their pipes and talking farm talk. We children put on our skates on the sleighs, and mine were those terrible bob skates, dull as dishwater and rusted brown. I used them until Miss Crosby one night arrived with a pair of regular skates for me, handing them to me in a brown paper bag so that no one would know of the deed. I was ecstatic and finally was able to keep up with my rival Marguirite, who not only had new skates, they were as white as the driven snow, and her mother had attached tiny silver bells to the laces, and she tinkled like someone from a fairy tale as she skated around and around the rink. There was no music of course. Not like in the rink in Renfrew where we once went to see an ice revue brought out from Ottawa, and listened to songs like Daisy, Daisy, Give Me Your Answer True and The Skater’s Waltz. We would skate until Mr. Briscoe blew a whistle and that meant the fun
was over for that night. We would try to do one more “crack the whip,” and then the boys would use the big shovels and scrape off the chips and snow, and another couple of barrels of water, kept on one of the big sleighs would be poured over the surface of the rink, left to freeze over solid before our next night of skating. Then we would all head into the Northcote School where the Ladies Aid would have big pots of steaming hot chocolate sitting on the stove in the middle of the room. Always there were oatmeal cookies and ginger snaps, which vanished in jig time.
I would tumble into bed, happily exhausted, with my toes still cold as ice, after crawling out of my clothes which would be soaked right through to my navy blue fleece-lined underwear, but with a feeling of utter joy and contentment. Our whole family would feel the same. My three brothers would have had a night of roughhousing, my sister Audrey would be asked to skate with a boy she fancied, I would be with my best friends, and Mother and Father would be happy that another night of community fun was had, and hadn’t cost a penny.

I
t certainly wasn’t anything to get up in the middle of the night and write home about, according to my cousins from Ottawa. They had rinks inside of heated buildings and ice as smooth as glass, whereas the little rink behind the Northcote School was anything but grand. Yet it suited our purposes well, and certainly got lots of use once the ice was built up on the patch of ground that in the summertime was nothing but weeds and hay growing willy-nilly. The rink had stand-up boards on two sides, and each end was open so that we could just walk right onto the ice easily. As soon as the winter had settled in, the boys of senior fourth, along with their fathers, started building up the ice. It was a major job, since every drop of water had to be hauled from the farms around, or from the pump in the middle of the schoolyard. It was brought in big barrels, and timed so that many sleighs would arrive at the same time, and the water dumped on the spot. Using pails to take water from the school pump was a wasted exercise, since most

As winter subsides, please do not feed the deer News - Deer change their behaviour in winter as the snow deepens, moving into thicker forests and relying on established trails to move to and from feeding areas. The Ministry of Natural Resources reminds people to not feed deer this winter.
Reasons not to feed the deer: • Using the wrong feed can result in digestive problems. People may inadvertently do more harm than good through improper feeding practices. • Feeding may encourage more deer in an area than the habitat can support.
This can result in poor reproduction, smaller fawns, and higher winter mortality rates. • Deer-vehicle collisions may occur as deer cross roads to and from feeders. • Deer that come to feeders may lose their natural fear of humans and
cause conflicts at other times of the year. • A concentration of deer around artificial feeders can tempt natural predators of deer such as wolves to change their natural habits and come closer to populated areas. Concentrating deer in an area in-
creases the risk of disease transmission among animals. Although chronic wasting disease has not been found in Ontario in wild animals, there are concerns that encouraging concentrations of deer increases the risk and speed of disease transmission. Deer are designed to store fat, reduce their metabolism and successfully process that fat in the winter while feeding on natural foods according to their daily needs.

Kanata skier in top 10 at Edelweiss races Calabogie Ski Racing Club
Sports – Kanata’s Sophia Tan earned two Top 10 finishes in the kombi and panelled slalom during a competition at Edelweiss, in Wakefield, Que. On Feb. 16. Tan, a U14 member of the Calabogie Ski Racing Club, placed seventh in the kombi and eighth in the panelled slalom. CALABOGIE PEAKS RACE Calabogie’s rapid racers continue to own the podium this season. The latest successes come from the U10 group. The club hosted a giant slalom at Calabogie Peaks Feb. 16 for this age group. It was a home hill crowd who cheered on Wyatt Campbell-Brunke (Renfrew) and Noah Matthews (Calabogie) as they zoomed into first and second place. Thys Blok (White Lake) was just outside the Top Ten, finishing 11th. Connor Guttin (Mountain) sped to 30th place, with Riley Cotter (Ottawa) coming in 38th. Nolan Guttin (Mountain) skied well but had a crash on the first run. Meanwhile, Louise Stonham (Arnprior) turned up the heat and laid down two solid runs to finish fourth. Nicole Duff (Pembroke) is also starting to find the speed, with a 17th place finish. EDELWEISS
Eve Yantha of UOV, and Alyssa Steggall (Stittsville) had some hiccups in the kombi but persevered and finished 35th, 36th, 37th. Alyssa was 30th and Jessica 33rd in the slalom. Alex Kerr (Kemptville) and Alexa Loudiadis (Ottawa) were among the kombi’s victims – this was a very tough, tight course. Alex rallied in the slalom with a 36th place, but Alexa’s injury on the first race prevented a comeback for now. Sam Duff (Pembroke) was champion of the kombi and dropped to second in the slalom. Jack Alexander (Carp) sped to a personal best fourth in the kombi and bettered this with a third in the slalom. Sean Swayze (Arnprior) and Jack Hamilton of Burnstown (in his first race this season), stayed close with 22nd and 24th in the kombi, then 20th and 24th in the slalom. Connor Allen (Manotick) continued to demonstrate his fine form, carving into 27th and 25th. Fellow Manoticker Liam Maclean was 38th and 41st. Aiden Keuninckx (Perth) keeps on improving: this time he went to 45th and 55th. Tyler Lefebvre (Calabogie) slid out in the kombi and had to hike, putting his time back at 48th, then hooked a hand on a gate in the slalom, but managed to attain 38th place despite it. Only a few races remain for each of the age groups, as they prepare for local championships and provincials in just a few short weeks.

The U12s travelled to Edelweiss Feb. 15 for their own grand slalom race. Sam Alexander (Carp)
channelled Olympian Ted Ligety in his quest for GS glory – and succeeded with another first place finish. Jeremy Van Grunsven (Odessa) laid down the two best runs of his career, landing in third and stepping on the podium for the first time. Luke Hansen (Renfrew) and Wesley Matthews (Calabogie) carved their way into eighth and 13th. James Gaffney (Deep River) continues to improve, landing in 28th this time, while Carson Lefebvre (Calabogie) and Evan Sharma (Kingston) finished 32nd and 39th. Aidan Maclean (Manotick) was 56th and Ryan Geddie (Kanata) was 58th. In the girls’ race, Tess Schreider (Kingston), Kasey Keyes (Ottawa) and Annabel Wight (Kanata) were 29th, 34th, and 40th. Feb. 16 found the U14s at Edelweiss for a kombi and a panelled slalom. Kombi races combine both wider grand slalom and tighter slalom turns, while panelled slalom uses grand slalom gates on slalom course. Both races challenge the athletes to use their technical skills to react quickly to the changing terrain. Despite a long delay when the timing system malfunctioned, the U14s put their skills to good use and pulled off some excellent runs. Lauren Campbell-Brunke (Renfrew) claimed victory in the kombi and skied to ninth in the slalom. Tan had two Top 10s – seventh in the kombi and eighth in the slalom. Emma Schreider (Kingston) skied to a smooth 18th, then 26th. Jessica Earle (Ottawa),

SERVING KANATA NORTH
City Councillor, Kanata North GREAT TURNOUT FOR COMMUNITY DESIGN PLAN ADAM KVETON/METROLAND
Public school board trustees discuss when to hold strategic priority discussions before tackling zone distribution at a board meeting on Feb. 25.
Public school board zones at issue News - There is no good time to discuss zone distribution, said one Ottawa Carleton District School Board trustee. It’s even worse to discuss changing the borders of zones trustees serve without the public present. But that’s what the school board found itself doing at its Feb. 25 board meeting. After a lengthy discussion surrounding when strategic priorities discussions should take place and to what degree stakeholders should be involved, the board delved into new business, with chair Jennifer McKenzie inquiring about what the board would like to do about electoral groupings. Vice-chair Shirley Seward
then posed several questions, asking why the board should discuss electoral zone groupings again, having already spoken about them in 2010. Administration staff in attendance said the board is required to advise on the subject of zone grouping. Another question from Seward found that the board could still change zone groupings until the end of March, even though candidates have already registered to run in particular zones in the next election, scheduled for the coming October. It’s “painfully ridiculous� to think we could decide on this before the next election, said trustee Rob Campbell. PUBLIC NOTICE
However, Campbell brought
up another issue: that the board was discussing how the public should be represented without notifying the public. McKenzie replied that the discussion was meant only to ascertain how the board wanted to proceed, knowing it had to discuss the issue. Neither that response nor Campbell’s own statement kept him from serving up his own opinion on electoral zone distribution, saying that the board should look at zones as the population gap between the largest and smallest zones has continued to grow, and questioning whether zones are being truly representative. Though McKenzie advised Campbell to heed his own advice with regards to the discussion, Campbell said this might be his only “kick at the can� when it
comes to this subject. While trustee Lynn Scott said, at this point, the board is stuck with using existing boundaries, trustee Theresa Kavanagh commented that it’s “almost insulting to the public� to have a discussion about zone boundaries at the end of a board meeting without telling the public. The conversation ended with an explanation that zones had to be based on the city’s wards, that the board could not create its own boundaries, and with McKenzie saying a report is needed on the subject.

The plans should now be on the City website at www.ottawa.ca/ kanatanorth along with information on how to submit your opinions and ideas. For example, you may have a suggestion for a transition zone adjacent to existing homes. You are asked to submit your ideas by March 10. They will then be considered in the development of one preferred option for presentation, final comments and adjustments in about 2 months. The concept is expected to go to Planning Committee and Council for approval by August. It will take several years after that for detailed plans to be submitted, conditions imposed, and services (water, sanitary sewers, drainage systems, hydro, phone, roads, sidewalks) installed. Thank you to the residents who attended, for your thoughtful questions, for the consultants and City staff who provided clear responses, and for the members of the community advisory group who have helped to shape the consultative process. KLONDIKE ROAD I’ve just received a plan to make the section of Klondike Road from March to Sandhill safer for pedestrians pending reconstruction of the road next year. This spring the north side shoulder will be improved, a white line painted to designate the pedestrian area, and signage installed. Klondike will remain as a two way road. DRIVEWAY WIDENING Council’s approval on driveway widths retains the maximum 50% frontage for parking space, while permitting any extension to the side of the driveway. Any extension must be interlock or some other landscape material (not asphalt). For narrow townhouse frontages, any addition would be slight. Keeping 50% in lawn is to protect landscaping, including trees, and to ensure no significant change in run off that could cause excessive water, leading to possible flooding downstream. It also keeps some area available for snow storage. Full information on driveway widening will be on the City website once the appeal period is over (about 6 weeks). Please let me know if you need any additional information. GOULBOURN POOL The diagnosis only gets worse for the pool at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex. From routine maintenance such as repainting, to discovery of mould in the roof and then in the walls, and now rust in the structural steel, the work continues with no opening date in sight. This has added a lot of pressure on the RRCK, with swimming lessons for more than 600 additional individuals transferred from Goulbourn. With the planned closure of the Leisure Centre in March (for safety upgrades), the pools will only get more crowded. Full local use of the pool area of the RRCK is delayed until the Goulbourn Pool opens. That date is still unknown as City staff work out a means to make the substantive repairs to the pool area.

When a new community is being planned, it’s important to have those in the vicinity able to have a say in what will be developed there. That’s what happened on February 26 when more than 140 residents packed the meeting room at the Richcraft Recreation Complex Kanata (RRCK) to view the 4 plans that came out of an earlier meeting when groups of residents outlined 15 potential designs. Letting residents living near the new community know about it is important to me, as I’ve always found that residents have good, concrete ideas that improve any community plan. Consequently, I visited about 300 homes on cold February days to show them what is proposed and recommend that they put their ideas forward.

In the areas where this is a problem, the only way we have of finding the cross connections is to test the connections using harmless dye and seeing to which system the water is released. The test is relatively short: Wastewater Services flushes some dye down each toilet in the home and confirms that it flows into the correct pipe by checking for the dye colour in the manholes on the street.

Attach a War Amps confidentially coded key tag to your key ring. It’s a safeguard for all your keys – not just car keys.
Mistakes are sometimes made during construction or improvements to homes, resulting in the home’s piping possibly being connected to the wrong system. When such a “cross connection” takes place, the odorous stream (home sanitary), connected to the storm system results in untreated sanitary waste being discharged to a river, and if there are imperfect seals on the homes’ storm systems, those odours can find their way into the homes (usually the basement).
As this is the only practical method of determining the location of the cross connection, I ask that you please cooperate when approached by Wastewater Services to have a dye test done in your home. Together we can eliminate the flow of untreated sanitary waste to the environment and eliminate odours in the homes associated with the cross connected pipes.

The city has two separate wastewater handling systems. The storm system collects stormwater from street catch basins and foundation drains; it directs the water to a receiving body of water (stream, river, etc.) and the sanitary system collects all other wastewater from the homes (sinks, toilets, floor drains, etc.); it directs its water to the wastewater treatment facility in the east end of the City for treatment prior to discharge to the Ottawa River.

OC Transpo buses have crossed while signals active
Gale Real Estate, Team Realty Independently Owned and Operated, Brokerages
26 Kanata Kourier-Standard EMC - Thursday, March 6, 2014
News - The city has hired a consultant to study whether OC Transpo buses should stop at railway crossings, but the chairwoman of the transit commission said there’s no evidence to prove it would be safer. The study came to light during a city council meeting on Feb. 26 after Orléans Coun. Bob Monette asked staff to look into the benefits and costs of having buses stop at all railway crossings. “Look at the Gatineau example of what they’re doing,” Monette said. “They are doing it very successfully and why can’t that be done in Ottawa? So I think that should be looked at.” The discussion stems from

of the crash is still under investigation by the Transportation Safety Board. But transit commission chairwoman Coun. Diane Deans said it might actually be less safe

for bus operators to stop at rail crossings. “There is currently no evidence to suggest it would be a safer situation to require our buses to stop at level crossings,” she said. “We have to look at the evidence before we make any decisions.” As recently as a Feb. 25 meeting, Deans said TSB lead investigator Rob Johnson told the city the agency does not have evidence that is would be safer for buses to stop at level crossings. “In fact, there may be a net negative impact of asking our buses to stop,” Deans said. That negative impact wouldn’t necessarily be on OC Transpo’s bottom line, she said – having buses pause at crossings could erode safety. “If you require the buses to stop, then they are actually on the track longer because they have to speed up,” Deans said. “If there is a stall when they do that they could stall on the track, which has actually happened before,” she said, referring to cities other than Ottawa. In places like Gatineau where buses are required to stop at crossings, the policy can often be traced back to one incident, Deans said. “There is no big rationale for it,” she said. But the transit commission chairwoman said she’s waiting to hear the results of the consultant’s report and she’s open to any information the TSB could provide indicating that stopping buses at crossings is safer.

TSB issues two advisory letters to city Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder, who represents the area where the crash occurred, said she was miffed that Monette “went rogue” without talking to her or Deans. “He hasn’t been privy to any of the information that all of us have been working on,” Harder said. Harder said she, Deans and other city representatives have been working “hand in hand” with the Transportation Safety Board and the city has already begun following up on advice the board has supplied. That includes looking at the “private roads” bylaw, a category that includes the Transitway, to see if there is different wording that could be used in order to make it possible to enforce the Highway Traffic Act on the Transitway. Some changes have already been made, such as reducing the speed limit for vehicles approaching the crossing and installing a flashing amber warning light to remind motorists about the tracks. SAFETY ADVISORIES
The Transportation Safety Board has issued two safety advisory letters to the city on Feb. 25 after four reports of OC Transpo buses crossing a rail line with active signals where six people died last September. The four incidents documented by the safety board since the Sept. 18 collision occurred in October and January. The board says four buses travelled over the Transitway-rail crossing when signals were flashing and sounding. According to a report by the board, lights and bells were activated but the drivers continued through the crossing. In one case, the report says, “As the crossing gate had not yet descended, the driver believed it was safe to proceed.” There is a delay between the activation of lights and signals at the Transitway crossing and the lowering of the gates, a 12-second period designed to allow vehicles to clear the crossing before the gates descend. In addition, “One driver was driving just over the speed limit even though the road conditions were very poor due to a winter storm.” That bus failed to stop for the signals on Jan. 27. The most recent report notes that some buses have been documented travelling over the speed limit on that section of the Transitway. “The bus drivers in the occurrences approached the crossing at or slightly above the posted roadway speed without being prepared to stop,” the report
Jan Harder says. The TSB also looked at a Feb. 11 incident when OC Transpo reported a malfunction of the crossing safety system. On that day, a train travelled through the crossing as normal,
ty measures you plan to implement.” City manager Kent Kirkpatrick offered his take on the TSB recommendations in a letter to council on Feb. 25. In addition to speed changes and the warning light, Kirkpatrick added that bus drivers have been advised to always follow the posted speed limits and, when approaching the railway crossings, keep a foot hovering over the brake pedal while “watching for train movement in both directions of the railway tracks.” Transit supervisors and the transit service’s special constables continue to check bus speeds, he wrote, and new drivers receive rail safety training, including at least three visits to rail crossings.
but a safety gate remained in its lowered position after the train passed. An OC Transpo bus driver stopped his bus, made a visual check of the rail line and then proceeded across the tracks. Soon after, a transit supervisor tried to manually lift the gate that was in the lowered position but could not. The gate reset itself within 10 minutes. Frost on the gate’s electrical contacts was found to be the cause of the malfunction. The TSB letter to the city says the gate is designed to operate in “fail safe” mode and did so. The board says no one other than rail staff should “attempt to lift crossing gates that have been activated and deployed.” The TSB has asked the city for a reply, including “any safe-

Library to offer more French e-books Brier Dodge
brier.dodge@metroland.com
News - The Ottawa Public Library will offer many more French electronic books, beginning in early April. The library signed an agreement that will bring an initial collection of about 500 e-books by French authors. Currently, there are about 200 French e-books. Most of the e-books currently available in French are older, classic literature. The new coming editions will be newer popular titles. There will be books from authors including Chrystine Brouillet, Lou-
ise Tremblay-D’Essiambre, Michel David and Jean-Pierre Charland available for download to electronic book readers, such as a Kindle. Library users are able to sign out e-books to their own electronic devices. The library also lets users sign out digital audiobooks. “One of the main comments OPL received through the Imagine campaign it ran last year was that customers want access to more ebooks,” said OPL board vice-chair André Bergeron in a press release. “In fact, 14 per cent of those customers specifically expressed the need for more French e-books. We are very pleased with this new agreement.”

Paralympian speaks with students before Winter Paralympics Adam Kveton
adam.kveton@metroland.com
Sports - Canadian Paralympian silver medallist Patrice “Pico” Dagenais of Canada’s wheelchair rugby team met with students at Sir Guy Carleton Secondary School onFont_PalatinoLinotype_Bold Feb. 26. Dagenais came to share his Location_MyriadPro_Bold story with students from Sir TYPE OUTLINED Guy and ALL Centennial school who have mental and physical disabilities to encourage them to check out what sports they can get involved in, and to support the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Games starting March 7. Dagenais took silver along with Canada’s wheelchair rugby team in 2012 at the London Summer Paralympics, defeating their arch rival, the U.S., in the semi finals by one point. But getting to the Paralympics and the silver medal was a long time in coming for Dagenais, who explained how he became a paraplegic and subsequently discovered his passion for wheelchair rugby. Working for his father at the age of 18, Dagenais fell from the second storey of a house to the basement, hitting his head and injuring his sixth vertebrae. At the time, Dagenais recalls not being able to move his legs or hands and thinking that perhaps his body was in shock and movement would return. Despite surgery to fix his vertebrae, it didn’t. “I had to learn to live
all over again,” he told the group of about 20 students. “Mentally, it was hard to accept.” Dagenais grew up playing hockey and other sports, but initially shunned handicapped sports, hoping to learn to walk again. It took more than a year for Dagenais to finally agree to go to a wheelchair rugby practice with a couple of friends. But it was worth it. “I had a great time,” he said. It quickly became his passion and gave him a new goal: to compete for Canada in wheelchair rugby. Dagenais played a video of some highlights from the 2012 Paralympic rugby games, showing just why the sport has been referred to as murderball. Players in heavy duty wheelchairs speed up and crash into each other as fast as possible, knocking each other over to keep the team with the ball from wheeling into the end zone. While there is a lot more to the game, the passion and energy of the players was evident in both scoring points and slamming into other players. After working towards a national team spot for years and being cut from the roster before, Dagenais was finally on the national team for the 2012 Games in London. Their’s was the last sport to start at those Paralympics. With all that waiting, the Canadians were slow out of the gate, losing to the tough Australian team.

Paralympian Patrice Dagenais shows his silver medal from the London 2012 Summer Olympics to students from Sir Guy Carleton and Centennial schools on Feb. 26. However, after defeating Belgium and Sweden, Canada was up against the U.S. in the semi finals. Just like in Olympic hockey, the U.S. is the team Canada likes the least, said Dagenais. It showed in the first quarter of the match, with Canada gaining a significant lead. However, with 55 seconds left, the U.S. tied it up and
had the ball. Watching from the bench at the time, Dagenais described how his teammate managed to steal the ball from the Americans and score with less than a second left. “I had tears of joy,” said Dagenais. Though the Canadians would go on to lose to the Australian team again in the
finals, Dagenais said he was still proud to bring back a medal. With the next summer Paralympics taking place in Brazil in 2016, Dagenais said he is still working to stay on the national team and compete again. But for now, it’s about the Winter Paralympics. Dagenais said that while the Paralympics have not en-
joyed wide support, they are impressive and exciting to watch, and hugely important to Paralympians. “I owe a lot to the sport of wheelchair rugby,” said Dagenais, who encouraged students to see what sports they can compete in, and to tune into the Games. “If we want the Paralympics to be more televised, we have to support it,” he said.

Affordable housing tops mayors’ list of priorities Mayors of large Canadian cities gather in Ottawa for discussions laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Canada’s civic leaders tried to shift the focus away from Toronto Mayor Rob Ford and onto the major priority outlined by the mayors of large Canadian cities on Feb. 26: affordable housing. But while the mayors’ caucus claimed the Ottawa meeting was a productive, outside those closed doors the presence of Ford and the controversy surrounding his drug use overshadowed the discussion of important municipal issues. When asked whether Ford was a disruption during the Feb. 26 session, Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson told reporters he was glad for the large turnout of municipal leaders – “I think this is the biggest showing of big city mayors gathered in many years,” said Robertson, the chairman of the Big City Mayors Caucus. “It’s good to see so many in the room together.” Mayors from Quebec were less diplomatic in a separate press conference afterwards, telling reporters they shunned Ford, didn’t shake his hand and avoided looking at him. When some of the mayors present weren’t shunning Ford, they were finding common ground on funding for affordable housing and transit – the two overarching concerns all the mayors agreed were most important, Robertson said. Keeping cities strong and “unlocking their economic potential” is reliant on finding real solutions to Canada’s housing crunch, Robertson
said, calling the last federal budget a disappointment in that regard. The caucus called on the federal government to reverse its withdrawal of $1.7 billion in annual social housing investments and draft a nationwide plan for affordable housing. “We need to avert a housing disaster,” Robertson said. That includes ensuring that home ownership is within reach for middle-class Canadians, many of whom “increasingly cannot afford to live in our cities,” he added.
We need to avert a housing disaster. Gregor Robertson
Transit and transportation is another unifying concern amongst the urban mayors, who quoted statistics from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities claiming traffic costs the economy $10 billion in lost productivity each year and that the average Canadian spends 34 days per year in their car. Of course, each mayor has local issues that top their own list of concerns, like the Ottawa River Action Plan needed to clean up the city’s main water source, said Mayor Jim Watson. But with an overall consensus that available funds in the federal government’s $14.4-billion, 10-year Building Canada program should be distributed on a roughly per-capita basis, the mayors could avoid squabbling over who deserved more and focus
instead on speaking with a unified voice on common issues, Robertson said. The mayors didn’t have much to say about Canada Post eliminating door-to-door delivery in all urban areas in favour of community group mailboxes. That issue was still under discussion when they ducked out to appear at the press conference, Robertson said. “There are big concerns by big-city mayors about the lack of consultation,” he said. “We need to help shape these changes as they affect our cities.” Pressed on the issue later on, Robertson said the primary concern of mayors is that cities and municipalities were not consulted about the mail delivery change. Although the caucus couldn’t dispute that some changes to mail delivery are warranted, Robertson said mayors are worried about potential effects on streetscapes and finding space for the large mailboxes, as well as litter from flyer mail.

Airport Parkway bridge review slams city Lax oversight, missing documentation and unrealistic timelines plagued incomplete footbridge project Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - A review of the botched pedestrian bridge over the Airport Parkway slams the city for setting unrealistic construction timelines, failing to obtain important documentation and neglecting to keep top managers and elected officials in the loop. The issues with the overbudget and overdue project were set to be vetted at a finance and economic development committee meeting on Tuesday, March 4, after this newspaper’s deadline. The bridge, which was supposed to cut an iconic figure as visitors entered the city from its south-end airport while providing a safe route for cyclists and pedestrians, has become one of its most visible failures. The unfinished concrete structures around the Airport Parkway sit as a reminder of the $6.8-million project that has ballooned in cost to more than $11 million and still isn’t close to being done, more than three years after its expected completion date. River Coun. Maria McRae, who has been dealing with the project in her ward, declined to comment on the third-party report shortly after it was released on Feb. 25. The document is long and complex and she needed time to review it before making a statement, McRae said. Legal action against the initial contractor, Genivar, is still ongoing, as is a redesign of the bridge by Delcan. Aside from legal issues over the design and construction and contractors that have gone into default, the city’s
own processes and staff contributed to the never-ending stream of issues, according to a third-party review conducted by SEG Management Consultants, Inc. STAFF ISSUES
The report concluded there were serious project management issues at city hall. In particular, the level of management of the consultant contract was “not adequate to manage the project risks,” the review states. The deputy city manager, Nancy Schepers, went as far as to say city personnel would be part of potential corrective action resulting from the review. Schepers’ memo stated: “This action plan will include a process to evaluate progress against each of the recommendations and implementation of any necessary remedial or corrective action in respect of the department’s processes, procedures or personnel.” City solicitor Rick O’Connor wouldn’t say whether those corrective actions could include firing staff. “I know that the deputy city manager’s memo specifically added the words ‘personnel issues,’ so I anticipate that subsequent to the meeting at FEDco … that all of those matters will be looked at,” he said. Part of the issue was that the two project managers assigned to the bridge were senior project engineers – a role whose skill set isn’t quite a perfect fit for project management. Project management is something the city needs to
take more seriously, the review states. It noted the city’s own project delivery manual advises that adopting industry practices for project management would enhance the city’s ability to keep projects in line and would also encourage professional development. Increasing accountability by adding performance indicators and authority limits for extended project deadlines would also help, the review states. In her memo to city council, Schepers said the city had already moved to improve project management protocols, including by boosting training and certification of key staff members. The bridge project has “significant issues,” but there is no data from other projects to compare and confirm whether it was an anomaly, the review says. FAULTY PROCEDURES
The proposed bridge’s complex design wasn’t fully vetted as required by the city, SEG found in its review. Although the technical complexity of the stay-bridge structure was well documented – the designer himself even wrote that his was the only company in Ontario “at the forefront of this revolutionary design approach” – the city didn’t follow up on a constructability review it was supposed to obtain before the design was completed. Despite the designer writing that he had to “go a long way to convince” the advisory groups that the bridge could be constructed safely as designed, the city didn’t address constructability issues until after a meeting in August of last year that resulted in the city ordering a separate independent review. The problems carried into the construction phase, with the contractor experiencing “issues” with details of how
the tower was to be constructed. More than one subcontractor had to be fired and replaced after concrete pouring and anchor plate fabrication wasn’t up to snuff. The review also found the original three-year timeframe for construction would have been reasonable – had the project not hit a number of roadblocks. The most serious setback was an eight-month delay due to staff’s “internal workload issues” at the start of the environmental assessment process, which shrunk the time available for construction from a year to just four months. While two of the construction companies bidding for the work told the city the timeline was “totally unrealistic,” there’s no record of the city responding, according to the SEG review. There’s also no record of staff in either the planning department or infrastructure services questioning the tight timeline. The report also criticizes the “unco-ordinated” communications, whether it was between city staff and officials or to the public. Despite “significant” email communica-

That improved in April of 2012 after the bridge was handed over to a dedicated project team, SEG states. Last fall, the city made
some changes to head off similar issues in the future, including adding more strict pre-qualification rules for engineering consultants. More recently, the city has also developed a two-phase review process for major structural projects to require third-party technical oversight of constructability.

10-screen Cineplex theatre coming to Lansdowne Staff
News - Cineplex Cinemas announced last week that it will open a 10-screen theatre complex at a redeveloped Lansdowne Park. “We’re delighted that Cineplex is bringing its visionary theatre concept to Lansdowne,” said John Ruddy, a partner in the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group. “They’ve succeeded in creating compelling environments for all ages and style preferences by re-imagining what a theatre complex can be in the modern age. It’s a remarkable concept and I know Cineplex will be a major contributor to Lansdowne becoming one of Ottawa’s most popular destinations.” Currently no other first-run movie theatre exists in the downtown area and Cineplex Cinemas Lansdowne and VIP will be able to accommodate up to 1,700 patrons. According to OSEG, the new theatre will feature a VIP section offering luxurious seating and food and will be licensed to serve alcoholic beverages. It will also feature an UltraAVXauditorium -- a theatre aimed at offering a completely immersive movie-watching experience, where there will be reserved seating, wall-to-wall screens, and surround sound.
Aside from the new theatre, the company said in the coming days it will be announcing its full list of businesses that will be part of the park’s urban village. As of Feb. 27, OSEG announced it has leased more than 80 per cent of the retail space available at Lansdowne. “We welcome the new businesses to the area,” said Greg Best, chairman of the Glebe Business Improvement Area. “The Glebe is a popular destination and we’re confident the shops, restaurants and services announced today will do well here in one of Ottawa’s most vibrant shopping districts.” The new list of retailers coming to the park include Joey Restaurants, Goodlife Fitness, Whole Foods Market, an LCBO VQA destination boutique, South St. Burger Company, Local Lounge and Grill, TD Bank, and Sporting Life, PetSmart, Pharma Plus, the Source, Bank of Montreal, Telus, Rinaldo’s, Booster Juice, Jack Astor’s and Milestones. Construction for the retail shops and residential portion of the park is proceeding on schedule. Lansdowne Park is scheduled to reopen in July.

Night market coming to ByWard this summer Food demonstration and Savour Ottawa stands to be added Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
FILE
The city’s only regular night market will be coming to the ByWard Market at least once a week this summer. could offer cooking demos. That should help engage people and make the yearround market more than just a place to purchase items. COURTING FARMERS
In order to make the market viable, whether it’s during the day or at night, ByWard needs to attract new vendors, Fleury said. A large part of the efforts this year will involve reaching out to farmers in the
area to find out what’s preventing them from selling their wares at the Lowertown market. A new staff person has been delegated the task to reach out and understand what could entice new vendors to the market. Selling at the ByWard Market can be tough on vendors, especially smaller producers, since it operates seven days a week, 365 days a year. Many other Ottawa markets run only on weekends.
Adding more flexibility to allow producers to balance their time between growing
and selling their products is a goal for the market this summer, Fleury said.

News - The ByWard Market may have shifted from produce market to a nightlife hub, but a new idea could see those two identities merge. A weekly night market in the historic Lowertown district is on tap for this summer after city council approved a new raft of pilot projects aimed at revitalizing the flailing market. The night market is the most enticing of the 13 ideas that will take shape in the market this year, said RideauVanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury. It would be the only night market in the city – something that could encourage people from other neighbourhoods to make the trek downtown. “It’s about finding a niche,” Fleury said. At the same time, a later opportunity to grab produce on the way home would better serve residents of the area, especially with the population booming thanks to new condo developments. A night market with later hours once a week could help reinforce the area’s branding as both a nightlife destination and also a produce vending spot with historic roots, Fleury said. The ByWard Market will also poach an idea that spelled success for the Parkdale Market, which is also run but the city’s markets management group: a Savour Ottawa farm stand. There, local farmers could be invited to feature products not usually offered at market stalls. It will be located near the EQ3 furniture store in the ByWard Market. Fleury would also like to see new signs or flags to better indicate which products are produced locally. The city is also working with the local business improvement area and the market merchants’ association to set up a demonstration stand, where market vendors, merchants from food stores in the area and even local chefs
The city offers daily, monthly or annual permits for ByWard vendors, but Fleury said it’s critical to look at how to make it easier for new vendors to set up shop. Part of that might mean looking at how markets management and the merchants’ association might facilitate joint stands and partnerships between producers so that they are still able to work on growing or producing their products at the same time they’re being sold. Discounted permits for first-time vendors were already launched last year. The ideas are being tested out in the run-up to Canada’s 150th birthday celebration in 2017. At the same time new ideas are being piloted in the ByWard Market, the city is trying to decide the timing of the market’s transition to being managed by a non-profit group instead of the city. There is a new staffer, Jake Rupert, on board who will be helping set the timelines to ensure tumult doesn’t disrupt the sesquicentennial celebrations.

Schools take on engineering challenge
Team Monte, top, and Team Galactus, right, from St. Gregory School launch a ping pong ball towards a row of boxes during the school’s good-natured grudge match against St. Monica School on Feb. 25. Both schools participated in the National Research Council of Canada’s Engineering Challenge. This year, schools in the Ottawa area were challenged to build a ping pong ball launcher as light and as small as possible, that was also accurate. St. Monica’s Umpa Lumpas team won the match, but it was the Pink Stallions team from St. Greg’s along with St. Monica’s Les Zèbres Scientifiques that would go on to compete in the regional competition. The Pink Stallions went on to take second place at regionals.

Condos one step closer to construction on Sparks Street Laura Mueller and Steph Willems laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Sparks Street is set to get a muchneeded infusion of residents. The downtown pedestrian street attracts tourists and lunching bureaucrats, but is maligned for having not much else happening, despite a raft of events planned by the local merchants’ association. That’s beginning to change as new residential projects come to Sparks Street, said the area’s representative, Somerset Coun. Diane Holmes. The latest development to get planning committee’s nod is a retail and residential building at 106-116 Sparks St. Ashcroft Homes has planned a six-storey building facing Sparks Street, which will be connected to an 18-storey tower around the corner at 111-113 Queen St. via a one-storey link. The taller building will be shaped like the letter “C” and include five floors of hotel space and 13 floors of condos. “(This is) a good project, bringing muchneeded retail at grade and residential units,” Holmes told the planning committee when it
at Canadian Tire Stores
considered the application to alter the existing heritage building on Feb. 25. The timing and disruption of construction is a major consideration for Les Gagne, executive director of the Sparks Street Business Improvement Area. He added that Sparks Street “pays a price” when buildings like the one up for redevelopment on Sparks Street are left to decay for five years while a redevelopment project is stalled. He blamed the National Capital Commission, which owns the property, for its neglect. “The current state of the building, with its hoarding, is a disgrace,” Gagne said. The NCC will lease the site to Ashcroft Homes for 66 years. Some of the original building’s heritage features will be preserved and reused in the new building, which pleased Michele Leboldus, the great granddaughter of Benjamin Stapleton who owned the original 1870s business at that location: the Centre Theatre. The facade and cornice will be removed and reconstructed according to archival photos. The facade is structurally unsound, so it can’t remain in place while the building is constructed, a city planning report states.
First 25 purchases at each Capital Ticket Outlet at Canadian Tire stores will receive a $10 Canadian Tire gift card.
Special offer:
Price includes tax
• Includes Bus trip to and from each
Canadian Tire location* (11 stores) • 300 level ticket • $10 food and beverage ticket • Bus departure is 6:00 p.m.

This beautiful 1.5 year young kitty was rescued in the freezing weather trying to steal food from a dog dish... starving and dehydrated desperate for survival. Enjoys cuddles and returns the love by wrapping her legs around your neck and giving kisses... how loving and tender is that. She is unhappy in the sanctuary... doesn’t enjoy cat company. Looking for a home where she can be the princess and share your life. She is spayed, vaccinated and healthy. If you are looking for a companion for life... here she is waiting for you.
For adopting this or any other cat contact GWEN at 613-258-2622. Check out the Website www.countrycatrescue.com for available cats and more info. Looking for volunteers and foster families to help out with cat care. We are a registered charity.

OSU Force Academy Player Selected To Play In FC Barcelona Tournament While young local soccer players dream of an early thaw so they can get back on the field earlier, Ottawa South United’s Ronan Kratt will be living out a dream as he takes to a Spanish pitch for the April 14-16 FC Barcelona Escola International Tournament. “I’m looking forward to it a lot,” says the Grade 5 student who’s been kicking the ball around in the snow recently at St. Leonard Catholic School in Manotick. Kratt found out that he’d been invited to the exclusive tournament when his parents called him into his room before school to show him the note they’d received from the famed La Liga side. “It was really exciting,” recalls the 10-year-old. “I was pretty happy – if you saw the video my dad was taking.” Ronan’s father smiles at the memory. “It took him awhile to realize what was happening,” recounts Martin Kratt, who will also make the trip to Catalonia for a week around Easter. “And then he started jumping up and down, screaming, ‘I’m going to Barcelona!’” Kratt calls himself “a really big fan of FC Barcelona” and is keen to play in the event at the club’s training grounds. “It’s exciting just to go to Barcelona. Not many people get to go there,” notes the dual-footed striker who owns a juggling record of 419 bounces. “I really like their players, like Messi and Neymar, and their style of play.” Kratt was the lone player from OSU to attend an FC Barcelona camp last July in Tampa, FL. Over 2,500 players took part in the sessions at several points in the U.S., including some from as far as Mexico, Venezuela and Belize. “It was cool. I got to look at how different countries play,” highlights Kratt, who enjoyed the opportunity to learn from the Barcelona coaches. “They obviously knew a lot about soccer. It was really great to take on their knowledge.” Feeling a bit nervous initially, Kratt realized within his first few hours of training that he stacked up pretty well compared to the other camp attendees. “It was a bit easier than my club, I would say,” details Kratt, whose OSU team plays in the top regional league possible against an age group a year older than them. Kratt credits OSU Head Coach Paul Harris, formerly a coach for Everton FC’s youth academy, for playing a big part in his success. “He really encourages me to try things in games,” signals the athlete who attends twice-a-week practices with Harris at OSU’s Centre of Excellence. “He tells me to try something exciting.” Kratt feels “proud” to have earned the chance to play in the tournament that will feature FC Barcelona academy teams, Barcelona’s Escola teams from elsewhere in Spain, and other entries from around the world such as South Korea, Poland, United Arab Emirates, China, India, Japan and Egypt. He’ll be one of two Canadian players – and the only one in the 2002/2003-born age group – to dress for the four sides assembled from the U.S. camps. “We’re exceptionally pleased to see a player from our club earn this opportunity to compete in front of one of the world’s most renowned football franchises,” states OSU President Bill Michalopulos. “We look forward to having Ronan represent OSU and our continent on this big stage and showing off the talent developing here in Ottawa and our Force Academy”.

65 Roses Gala supports those living with cystic fibrosis Brier Dodge
brier.dodge@metroland.com
News - Everyday life is different for six-year-old Camille Rochon. The Orléans girl has cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease that affects mainly the lungs and digestive system. She must take medication and do daily physiotherapy exercises with her parents.
She said skipping rope is her favourite way to get her exercise in. “There is not one hour in the day that goes by where you don’t think about the disease,” said Camille’s mom, Melanie Rochon. “If it’s not having to remind her to take enzymes with food, it’s having to give her medication, it’s having to do physiotherapy.” Camille, who goes to La
Prelude elementary school, has to take a large serving of pills every day. The medications prevent mucus from building up in her lungs, where it causes respiratory problems, and in her digestive tract, which makes it hard to absorb nutrients. It’s unfortunately all part of the average life for a child who has cystic fibrosis. But on Feb. 25, Camille

the Ottawa Senators and MP Scott Reid served as the gala’s co-chairs. The gala raised money to help people with cystic fibrosis. The Rochons are lucky to have health insurance that covers many of Camille’s needs, but some cystic fibrosis patients don’t have insurance, or need expensive drugs that aren’t covered by the province, said Reid. As well, many parents with a child with cystic fibrosis have to miss significant amounts of time from work to be with their children.
Reid had a staff member on Parliament Hill whose young daughter was diagnosed with CF. “It’s an expensive illness to have,” Reid said. “And there’s literally a mountain required to develop the cure that will be found for each form of CF.” The gala raises funds through donations, ticket sales and silent auction. “There’s not a day that goes by, an hour that goes by that we don’t think about CF,” Melanie Rochon said. “It doesn’t take a break.”

...to build brand awareness ...to stretch marketing dollars ...to make more money
wasn’t the average attendee at the 65 Roses Gala, a fundraiser organized by Cystic Fibrosis Canada’s Ottawa chapter. Camille, this year’s ambassador, was the only person with the disease allowed to attend the event. That’s because each person with cystic fibrosis carries different bacteria, and there is a high risk of cross-infection. She stood out – one of the youngest attendees – dolled up in a dress with roses covering it. While she served as the ambassador, Zack Smith of

Just Food reiterates no incinerator going on property Blackburn community questions possibility of livestock Adam Kveton
adam.kveton@metroland.com
News - Just Food is hoping that it has finally repaired its relationship with the Blackburn Hamlet community after reports that the non-profit was planning to build a food waste powerplant surfaced in late 2012. Though Just Food has been dealing with misconceptions about the proposed project since then, the group’s executive director, Moe Garahan, said Just Food is not going ahead with it, and she hoped the backlash from the story was over. Garahan spoke at the Blackburn Community Association meeting Feb. 20 to give an update on the non-profit’s progress with its farmer training workshops. Just Food operates on leased NCC land on the west side of Blackburn Hamlet. The non-profit’s focus is to teach farmers both experienced and inexperienced how to grow sustainable, just and healthy crops by giving them small plots of land to grow on. However, Garahan began her talk by addressing the now defunct powerplant project. Communication between Just Food and Blackburn Community Association had been strong since the farm started in 2011, but an Ottawa Sun story which ran Dec. 26, 2012 changed that.
“Thus began a different flavour in our community relations,” said Garahan. While Garahan said it was completely reasonable for concerns to be raised over what she assured the crowd was to be a small food waste digester, concerns became aggressive, and pamphlets were circulated in the community alleging that Just Food had malicious intent. The community’s concerns were caused by miscommunication over the project, which had been previously unknown to residents, said the Blackburn Community Association’s president, Laura Dudas. “I think the issue arose from the fact that nobody saw it coming,” she said. “It wasn’t part of (Just Food’s) proposal when they first were introduced to the site.” However, after hearing about it, community members were under the impression that the powerplant was going ahead, though they did not know how big it would be, where it would be placed, what it was exactly or how it would affect the community. In fact, the project was far from approved. Just Food had only applied for funding to research the feasibility of placing an anaerobic digester on the farm and to become part of the province’s FIT program to create green energy. They were not approved for funding.
Adam Kveton/Metroland
A sign hangs outside the Just Food farm at 2389 Pepin Court where Just Food leases property from the NCC. Garahan told the crowd at the BCA meeting that the digester, if it had gone ahead, would not have been on any sort of industrial scale, and that industrial scale power generation is not something Just Food is interested in.
Garahan moved on, explaining that Just Food selected 10 farm projects in 2013, giving 10 farming groups about 1000 square metres each of land to grow vegetables. However, questions from the community moved to Just Food’s future
intentions. One community member asked about potential livestock on the land, as Just Food had said they may look at having livestock in the future. Though Garahan said having livestock is still a long way off and, at this point, is only one possibility, she said NCC regulations allow Just Food to have 100 chickens, for example. While Garahan said that is a small number, some members of the community disagreed. Nonetheless, Dudas said the community was not worried about livestock. “I wouldn’t say worried. I would say interested in how that is going to pan out,” she said. “I personally haven’t had too many people say that they were concerned about it, just that they wanted to know what the intentions were.” Dudas said Just Food has been “very eager to work with the community” from the beginning, but that neighbours, Just Food and the BCA will have to work together to find a way for Just Food to fit into Blackburn Hamlet. “Some of their proposed plans will have an impact on residents,” said Dudas. “We are going to have to take each issue as it arises and we are going to have to work with Just Food and work with residents to make sure the best outcome is achieved no matter what it is.”

This week you need to be the follower instead of the leader, Aries. It may be difficult to go against your normal grain, but it is for the best. Keep an open mind. Your confidence may wane sometime this week, Taurus, but some friends will boost your morale to help you get back on your feet. Saturday will be a big day. Gemini, certain things that have to get done this week are out of your realm of expertise. Do your best to tackle these projects but have a helper on hand just in case. Cancer, you have a lot on your plate, but you don’t know where to start. Make a list of your tasks, and it will help you better tackle one thing at a time until you are all done. Leo, learn to laugh at yourself as a means to relieving stress. Things can’t always be serious, so ligthen up and take some time to relax. Work with Virgo this week. Give yourself a much-deserved break, Virgo. You’ve been working nonstop for the last several months, and now is a great time to take a vacation or enjoy a weekend getaway.
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!

You don’t have all of the answers, Libra, so don’t even think about saying you do. Relationship concerns are at the forefront of your mind lately. Scorpio, it might be hard to bite your tongue, but that’s just what you have to do this week. Wait until you are called on for help before you get involved. Take a few days to get all of your affairs in order, Sagittarius. Use this time to adjust to some changes that have happened over the last several weeks. Burning the candle at both ends again, Capricorn? This is not the best way to get things done. Take a more steady approach, and give yourself time to recover. Aquarius, you can’t put your finger on it, but something positive seems to be on the horizon. The truth will reveal itself in the next few days. Pisces, fight against the current for something you truly believe in. Unexpected events arise on Thursday.
