an opposing team rarely happens anywhere else but during the Special Hockey International Tournament where players who can’t participate in mainstream hockey clubs due to their special needs gather for a bit of competition, a whole lot of fun, and to celebrate the sport they love. This year, for the first time ever, the Condors are hosting the hockey tournament in Kanata, which has grown to become the largest in the event’s history with 74 teams signed up to play. After saving up for three years, the club is honoured to host the tournament starting on March 18, said Perkins, attracting teams from across Canada, the United States, and England. It’s a tournament that Liitela, a Bridlewood resident, has grown to look forward to every year. And with this one being hosted in his home town, Liitela’s excitement has already taken root.

A walk to remember brier.dodge@metroland.com
Climbing Mount Everest pales in comparison to what families living with a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease go through. “Watching the person you know fade away, it’s heartwrenching to see that happen,” said Arlene Gregoire. Gregoire and Anda Bruinsma were set to start a hike on the Appalachian Trail on March 9 – which Bruinsma said is the equivalent elevation and descent as hiking Mount Everest 16 times. They’re doing the walk – which they’ve titled A Walk to Remember – to raise money in support of people with Alzheimer’s disease. The pair, who met on a 2011 Everest climb, have hiked together since then. They decided three years ago to take on the massive trek, and scheduled it just after Gregoire’s retirement. “I said, ‘Let’s do some-
thing really epic,’” said Bruinsma, whose late mother suffered from dementia. Gregoire, a Kanata Lakes resident, retired this winter from her role as Ottawa’s chief building official, and launched right into preparations for the trip with Bruisma, who is well known in her neighbourhood as the Cumberland Community Associa-
tion president. The walk will take them six months, with the pair walking about 20 kilometers a day under their 16-kilogram packs. Only about one in four people who set out to complete the trail actually finish it, according to the Appalachian Trail Conservancy.

Local women celebrate equality on International Women’s Day by the range of occupations now open to women including in the skilled trades and in combat roles in the military. “This has resulted in an overall increase in incomes for women over the years and increasing independence,� she said. This increase in career choices was shown at the Girl Guides’ career fair, where women with jobs like principal, journalist, bio-psychologist, patent examiner and midwife showed just a few possible employment options open to them. Ottawa police Const. Lori Fahey, Kanata’s community police officer, occupies a role that, just a few decades ago, was not considered acceptable for women. Fahey pointed out a few local firsts for women that paved the way for her. “Locally, Charlotte Whitton blazed a trail by becoming the first female mayor of a major city in Canada (Ottawa) from 1951-56 and again from 1961-1964,� she said. “Even earlier than that, Ottawa police hired their first ‘police woman’ in 1913. While this is ‘before my time,’ these women broke through barriers and challenged the stereotypes,� said Fahey.

The accomplishments of local women and the advancement of gender equality were celebrated in Kanata in recognition of International Women’s Day on March 8. Events across Kanata, like the 2nd Kanata Girl Guides’ career fair on March 9, gave young girls a view of the careers now available to them as barriers for women have been gradually been removed. Other events, such as Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley’s dinner for women at Don Cherry’s Sports Grill near the Hazeldean Mall, gave local ladies a chance to celebrate their role in the community and their accomplishments, while Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson’s March 10 breakfast discussed ways to bring Ottawa closer to gender equality. To gauge just how far gender equality has come, both locally and internationally, as well as what must still be done, the Kanata Kourier-Standard asked a group of prominent local women to share their thoughts and experiences as successful, hard-working women. Carol Fowler, the president of the Canadian Federation of University Women in Kanata, said, “I am struck

“We have a long ways to go before I feel confident that my daughters will have better career experiences than I have.”
barriers still appear to exist, said Sudds, even on Ottawa’s city council where four of 23 councillors are women. “We have a long ways to go before I feel confident that my daughters will have better career experiences than I have,” she said. Seeing women in leadership roles has been an inspiration to Karen Sparks, executive director for Wesley Clover Parks, pointing to Margaret Thatcher’s terms as prime minister of Britain. “Seeing a strong world leader being a woman was important for me personally and I think women internationally,” she said. But that too suggests the next step in gender equality, said Trisha Owens, a local radio and television host and one of two keynote speakers at Hubley’s women’s dinner. While women who gain prominent leadership roles are celebrated now because they are women, Owen said she hopes for a time when they are celebrated simply because they are great at what they do.
R0043117158.0305
Fahey added she doesn’t consider her accomplishments special because she’s female – just that she hopes her career continues to help open doors for other women. “We still need better access to affordable daycare for all women,” said Fowler. But perhaps even with affordable daycare, motherhood and the business world remain at odds. Jenna Sudds, the executive director for the Kanata North Business Improvement Area (BIA) experienced that rift when she had her three children while working for the federal government. “Being young and naive, it appeared to me that women were well represented in senior roles, and all seemed just,” she said. But, leaving the workforce three times to have her three daughters changed her perspective, she said. “During that five-year time period, I watched my male peers move ahead in their careers, while mine stagnated,” she said. “Despite what I perceived to be a great place to work, I realized that my path to success was going to take much longer than my male counterparts,” she said. Internationally, many women still lack the education to even begin a career, and so access to that education is the most important step in the advancement of equality for women, said Patricia Elkins, event and volunteer co-
ordinator for the Kanata Food Cupboard. “Access to primary, secondary and post-secondary education for girls is of extreme importance,” she said.

Tournament embodies spirit of the game: organizers Continued from page 1
“Lately he’s been just trying a little bit harder, skating a little bit faster because the tournament is coming up,” said Liitela’s father, Keijo. Liitela answers his dad’s comment with a smile, after finding he was too embarrassed to do an interview with the Kanata Kourier-Standard. Liitela became a member of the Condors about seven years ago, at the age of 18, said Keijo on his son’s behalf. “His first time on the ice they had to have him holding a chair and sort of pushing himself around the ice, and just after one time on the ice, he said, ‘I don’t want that chair anymore,’ and he eventually just learned how to keep his own balance and learned how to skate all by himself,” said Keijo. Having progressed to the Condors’ intermediate BADAM KVETON/METROLAND level team, there is nothing Capital City Condor John Liitela from Bridlewood is one of 1,400 hockey players from Liitela likes more than playCanada, the United States and England taking part in the Special Hockey International ing in refereed games against other teams, and there’s no Tournament, which will be hosted by the Condors in Kanata from March 18 to 21. better venue for that than the Special Hockey International Tournament. But it’s not like the hockey you see elsewhere, said Keijo and Liitela’s mom, Carol. For one thing, there are no screaming, angry parents. Also, if

you score a goal, it’s usually universally celebrated by both teams. And the workout isn’t just to keep the players active, but also helps to keep their medical issues at bay. Many Condors have ongoing medical issues, said Carol, and Liitela is no exception. In addition to having Down syndrome, Liitela also has congenital heart disease, said Keijo. “He’s had two open heart operations, but you would never know looking at him,” he said. “He is fit. He is not on any medications or anything like that, but certainly being active helps both the lungs and the heart.” The tournament is also a chance to meet other hockey players of varying skill levels. There are three skill levels in the tournament, with the highest being the A level where the play has “a competitive edge,” but scores are an approximation with the aim of keeping everyone in the game, said Perkins. At the B level, play is stopped every three minutes to allow for line changes, and coaches are present on the ice to help the game along. The C level is for beginners, and there is also a mixed division where players of all
levels can be brought together to make up more teams. Perhaps the one thing that differentiates the tournament the most is that there are no champions crowned at the end, said Perkins. “By nature, this is a tournament of inclusion as compared to a tournament of competition,” he said. All the teams are guaranteed four games each, while mutual respect, skill development and fun are prized. As the Condors hockey club has grown, more and more volunteers have been introduced to the world of special hockey where the competitiveness of the game is no longer the ruling force, said Perkins. “I think more people are seeing these kids and these families and we all win when that happens,” he said. The tournament will be played at the Bell Sensplex and Kanata Recreation Centre, with one game being played at the Canadian Tire Centre. The opening ceremonies take place on March 18, and the closing ceremonies take place the evening of March 21.

Hikers hope to raise more than $200,000 Continued from page 3
They’re prepared and experienced hikers, however, who don’t have every intention of finishing what they set out to do. Their husbands will meet them several times throughout, mostly to swap out seasonal and well-used gear and restock them with food. “It’s really far, and it’s really long, so you hope you can manage it,� Bruinsma said. “But it’s also a huge psychological (challenge) as well.� They’ve also set a challenging fundraising goal, and aim to raise $100 for every mile they hike. The trail is 2189.2 miles long – 3,523 kilometres – so the women aim to raise $218,920
over the six months it’ll take to complete. Half the money will be donated to the Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County, and the other half will be donated to the national society to go towards research. When someone in the family has Alzheimer’s disease, “you’re helpless,� said Gregoire, who has two friends whose mothers were diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. “It makes you realize how lucky you are and blessed,� she said. Bruisnma said there is a need for research into the disease. The Alzheimer Society of Canada says 72 per cent of all diagnoses are women. “Alzheimer’s kind of falls off the table, but it
affects everybody,� she said. Many diagnosed require full-time care and the effects ripple through every member of the family. They both hope they’ll be able to see donations pour in when they get the chance to hook their cellphones up to Wi-Fi connections; the Alzeimer Society will update the totals raised every Monday morning. To follow Gregoire and Bruinsma’s 3,523kilometre trek or to donate towards their fundraiser, visit 2015appalachiantrail.jimdo.com. They can also be followed on Twitter at the handle @ATwalkon. Metroland Media will publish updates on their trek during the six months they are gone.

Infrastructure planning off track
O
ttawa wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be advertising itself anytime soon as the municipality where the trains always run on time. Last week, the city was forced to postpone the opening of the $60.3-million Trillium O-Train line, after signaling errors caused long delays and even prevented some trains from leaving the station. Transit commission chairman Stephen Blais spent Monday, March 2, apologizing to stranded passengers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a day he would have preferred toasting the launch of the new transit line, which boasted new track and double the number of trains to carry passengers between Greenboro and Bayview stations. By March 3, the entire line was shut down. Once again, the city has been placed in the uncomfortable position of apologizing for delays rolling out a multi-million dollar infrastructure project. Need we mention the Airport Parkway pedestrian and cycling bridge and Vimy Memorial Bridge? Past deadline and grossly over budget, the 75metre Airport Parkway bridge officially opened on
Nov. 29, 2014. Originally budgeted to cost $6.9 million, the bridge was supposed to open in 2011. But that fall, former River Ward Coun. Maria McRae said she noticed chunks of cement falling from the tower, and it eventually had to be torn down. The project ballooned to $11.55 million due to the faulty design of the original tower. A few months earlier, the city celebrated the official opening of the Strandherd-Armstrong bridge (now known as Vimy Memorial Bridge), that now connects Riverside South and Barrhaven on June 12. Originally scheduled for completion in 2012, the $50-million project suffered delays after the construction company went into receivership. Meanwhile infrastructure projects managed by private companies, such as TD Place, manage to come in on budget and on time. Maybe the city can learn a few lessons from the private sector on how to properly manage a multimillion dollar infrastructure project. Perhaps it will spark a new train of thought.

Overloaded kids: War or Peace?
E
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse forcing him to join anything. But things have changed. My boys have grown about a foot each in the last year. They have boundless energy. Payne argues too many activities leads to kids with bad behaviour, but I’m finding the less they have to do, the harder they are to manage. They continue to have a pretty decent balance of free play time and structured activity, but too much free time leads to them bouncing off the walls. The fewer organized sports, classes and plans they have, the more physically violent they are toward each other. Even outdoors in -35 C weather, they wrestle and punch like bear cubs in the backyard. Bring on structure and it’s a completely different ball game. For one, they both love to wear a uniform. A mere mention of a football conditioning program or the chance to play pick-up ice hockey and they are fully kitted up. Within an organized environment – coach, whistle and a defined position to play on a team – they thrive. They crave the connection with others, the communal feeling that can only be found within a team environment. After years of resisting mom’s attempts to join them
up, my boys now explicitly say they want to have an activity to look forward to every night of the week. That’s right, every night. And while I feel a little guilty for breaking the simplicity parenting pact my husband and I made years ago, I’m actually all for joining them up. They’ve got a few years to go until adolescence, and I think fostering a variety of interests will serve them well through the teen years and beyond. When I think back to my own childhood, I remember being bored often. A typical 13-year-old girl and without anyone to push me, I dropped the limited pursuits I had to spend a lot of time just “hanging out with friends,” as a teenager. You can imagine the kind of trouble I got into. My hope is that the more interests I can foster at this age, the more likely the boys will latch onto something that will keep them out of trouble as they navigate the tumultuous years of adolescence. This idea is affirmed when I look at young adults in my midst who grew up in sport. As adults, they continue to play, they have the confidence to try new things, and they make time to engage in extracurricular activi-

arlier this year, the Institute of Marriage and Family Canada interviewed Kim John Payne, founder of Simplicity Parenting. In the interview Payne provocatively said that parents in the west have instigated an undeclared war on childhood by forcing children into far too many structured activities. Payne went so far as to liken the behaviours of many affluent children in the west to children he once worked with in refugee camps: insecure, jumpy and wary of novelty. The kids in the camps, Payne said, suffered from post-traumatic stress due to actual war. The kids in the west are suffering from the stress of being rushed from one extra-curricular activity to another, without down time. In extreme cases, he argues, overloaded kids will tend toward bullying and may exhibit signs of ADHD. I’ve advocated for Payne’s approach in the past, but lately, with my boys getting older, I’m not sure his philosophy continues to apply. As my two eldest children move out of the primary grades, I find they’re demanding more external activities. In other words, they’re less amenable to our simple, at-home routine. This is a big switch. Until the age of eight, my youngest hated any kind of organized activity, which -- despite my tendency to be a zealous joiner -- made it pretty easy when calculating the time, money and effort involved in getting him places, to decide against
ties outside of work. Life is all about balance. For my youngest, who’s not yet in school, I’m not throwing any money at organized anything until she’s six. For now, in keeping with Payne’s simplicity approach, she’s happy as a lark playing with my soup pot in the living room most days. But for older kids, perhaps loading them up with organized activities isn’t so much about waging a war on their childhoods as it is about encouraging a peace of mind that they will develop into confident, capable adults.

Endangered Blanding’s turtles, like the hatchling pictured here, are already in danger of local extinction in the South March Highlands, but local Blanding’s turtle supporters are worried about the effect the planned KNL development will have on the area’s population.

Two studies on the South March Highlands south-east of Terry Fox Drive show that development will be “very challenging” but is expected to proceed nonetheless, says an Ottawa city planner. The results of studies on drainage and Blanding’s turtles were presented to about 50 people at a public meeting on March 4 held by Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson with city planners. Results of the Blanding’s turtle study showing the endangered species is threatened with local extinction were presented at a public meeting in Kanata in 2013, while the stormwater management study was recently completed. The stormwater study aimed to determine the capacity of the Shirley’s Brook and Watt’s Creek sub-watersheds to take on water, and create an accurate model to test potential drainage solutions. The original plan for the development of the area, established about 25 years ago, was to take stormwater from
approximately 150 hectares of land that naturally drains into the Shirley’s Brook system and divert it to the Watt’s Creek system, said city engineer Darlene Conway. “When you do that, it has a lot of impacts,” she said, on things like erosion, flooding and fisheries. “The city decided, ‘Well we better do a study to get a better understanding of what’s happening now prediversion,’” she said. The draft report of the study showed that both the Shirley’s Brook and Watt’s Creek systems are in “a relatively fragile state” due to development of nearby land. Under existing conditions, both systems are expected to degrade as they recalibrate themselves. “This process represents a lengthy evolution to a new form in response to land use changes that have occurred to-date,” states the report. Any alteration to flow could impair the process of stabilization, which could affect infrastructure, floodlines and organisms that depend on the aquatic environment, it states.
But while the area’s drainage systems are fragile, they do not require any immediate remedial actions, said Conway. “It’s not to say that, the development can’t proceed,” she said. “The purpose of providing that information was to ensure that the proponent of this development is aware of that, and that the city is going to be looking at how any additional impacts are addressed.” The study reports that the Watts Creek system, through the Beaver Pond, has some capacity available to take on more water, said Conway. Enough data has been collected to create an accurate model with which developers could test their drainage solutions, she said, which will have to deal with the water systems’ existing fragility. But it’s still a complicated issue to deal with, she said. Combined with concerns over the endangered Blanding’s turtles, the site is very difficult to develop on, said Nick Stow, a biologist and senior planner with the city. See STUDY, page 11
Study results leave some with worries for wildlife Continued from page 10
“This is one of the most challenging properties in Ottawa to develop because of the terrain, which is very rocky, because of the stormwater constraints that have to be considered, and because of the species at risk that are found on the site and around the site,” said Stow. “It’s a very challenging site. That doesn’t mean it can’t be done,” he said. “Development has been approved in principle, so we anticipate at some point it will proceed,” said Stow. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said she is confident that a drainage solution can be found, but said finding a solution for preserving the Blanding’s turtle population will be more difficult. “We want to try to make sure that they (developers) minimize the impact on (the area),” she said. “There is going to be some impact, there is no question about that.” The next step is for KNL, the developer that owns the land, to submit their solutions to the city and Ontario’s Ministry of Natural Resources to seek approvals to go ahead with development, said Wilkinson. TURTLE CONCERNS
“I guess we just have to save as much as we can of the natural environment,” said former Kanata resident Christopher
Busby after the March 4 meeting. Busby, now a resident in the Carp Hills, used to live in Kanata Lakes just south of the South March Highlands site slated for development. He has been an advocate for the preservation of the natural environment there for more
“South March Highlands could be Ottawa’s great, great park in the west end, and if this goes through, I don’t think it is going to be a great, great park.” Christopher Busby
than 10 years. Just two years ago, there was still hope that KNL would not be allowed to develop there, he said. “But now, it looks as if it’s a foregone conclusion,” he said. With that development comes greater concern for the area’s Blanding’s turtle population. Busby has a particularly strong relationship with the species, as Blanding’s turtles, along with snapping turtles and painted turtles, all come to lay their eggs in his backyard every year. “Three months later, like clockwork, in the first week of September, the hatchlings come out about the size of a

peach core,” he said. “They’ve gone from inside a shell, they crawl up through the dirt and they waddle down through the grass and jump in the pond, and then they go to the bottom of the pond and they (wait out the winter season). It’s just an amazing thing to watch. My daughter was just amazed the first time she saw 35 snapping turtles come out of one nest within 10 minutes. “That’s the kind of magic you don’t get in the middle of the city, and that kind of magic can happen here, but not, I guess, in the KNL lands,” he said. Now, Busby said he, along with the Friends of the Huntley Highlands group that he belongs to, will turn their attention to preserving turtle habitat in the Carp Hills. “The decision to save this (South March Highlands) land should have been made about 30 or 40 years ago,” he said. “South March Highlands could be Ottawa’s great, great park in the west end, and if this goes through, I don’t think it is going to be a great, great park,” said Busby. But he still holds out hope that KNL will do its best to save an important Blanding’s turtle nesting habitat in one section of the development lands. “Then maybe the people who live in their homes surrounding this area will see some of that turtle magic and see the cycle of life,” he said.

Male chorus finds new director after founder resigns Adam Kveton
adam.kveton@metroland.com
The Goulbourn Male Chorus has named a new music director to replace chorusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; founder, Robert Dueck, who stepped down unexpectedly in December. Ian Glen, a member of the chorus, said Dueckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to leave came as a shock, and had members questioning its future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The initial reaction was, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh my goodness, what do we do now?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said Glen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The chorus was Robert; it was his. I certainly joined it because of him, having watched him at a concert.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, yes, we were very concerned,â&#x20AC;? he said. Chorus members quickly put out call for new music directors and got a speedy response from seven interested candidates by the first week of January, said Glen. After auditioning for the role and trying their hand at conducting the group, the chorus offered Calabo-
gie, Ont. resident Byron Hermann the job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had three rehearsals with him now and it looks really good,â&#x20AC;? said Glen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we are going to carry on without breaking stride, to be quite honest.â&#x20AC;? Hermann has about 30 yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experience as a choral conductor in the Montreal area, and a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in music from McGill University, said the chorusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new music director. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real privilege,â&#x20AC;? said Hermann of the opportunity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good chorus and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great opportunity to explore more musical endeavours,â&#x20AC;? he said. Hermann said he hopes to foster a fun but hard-working atmosphere where singers can have their own musical needs met and explore the extent of their own abilities. DUECK STEPS DOWN
Dueck founded the chorus four and a half years ago and has been

music director for that time. In 2011, Dueck founded the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus after a group of ladies participated in a male chorus event and showed their interest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was just burning the candle at both ends and needed to do some re-assessing,â&#x20AC;? said Dueck. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(It) was sad to step â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;off the podium,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; but ii is also very gratifying to know that the men wanted to keep singing,â&#x20AC;? he said. During his resignation address to the chorus, Dueck said that he had taken the group as far as he could and that, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish you as singers, those in organization leadership, and my replacement continued success.â&#x20AC;?
Robert Dueck, right, stepped down from his role as music director of the Goulbourn Male Chorus in December. Since then, the chorus has found a new director â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Byron Hermann from Calabogie, Ont.

Shania Twain to be first of major acts at Wesley Clover Parks Adam Kveton
adam.kveton@metroland.com
Canadian country music singer Shania Twain will perform at Wesley Clover Field on June 27, in the first concert ever held at the west-end equestrian park. The concert is part of Twainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farewell â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rock this Countryâ&#x20AC;? tour across 40 cities in North America. Twain is leading the charge to help turn Wesley Clover Parks into a major concert destination, said Wesley Clover Park representatives on March 4. The concert is expected to attract about 25,000 fans, but the venue has the capacity to handle as many as 35,000 people. As Wesley Clover Parks first major event, the concert could be one of the Top 5 biggest shows ever held in the Ottawa area, said Ken Craig, Adam Kveton/Metroland concert promoter and enterWesley Clover Parks executive director, Karen Sparks, speaks during a press conference tainment advisor for the parks on March 4 announcing a one-day outdoor concert on June 27 at Wesley Clover Parks during the Shania Twain concert announcement. featuring Shania Twain.
Though major infrastructure work remains to be done at the parks, plans are already in the works to make use of the existing campgrounds for future concerts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(The Shania Twain concert) is only a one-day event but our goal at Wesley Clover Parks and on the board of directors is to make this into a festival site with camping,â&#x20AC;? he said. There are 176 camping spots now, but a massive increase is planned, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give you a date, maybe 2016, maybe 2017, but our goal right now is to host 20,000 to 25,000 campers on a festival site,â&#x20AC;? said Craig. Wesley Clover Parks is expected to join other concert venues in the city, such as the Canadian Tire Centre, TD Place and the War Museum grounds to make Ottawa a destination for large touring acts, said Deputy Mayor Mark Taylor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Absolutely, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our goal,â&#x20AC;? said Taylor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ottawa has been increasingly becom-
ing a city of festivals, fairs, events, concerts and especially in the lead up to Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sesquicentennial in 2017, we really want to advance that as much as we can.â&#x20AC;? The founder and chairman of Wesley Clover International, Sir Terence Matthews, said the concert will go a long way in making the park site what he has envisioned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always had in my mind that this (site) ought to be something very special for Ottawa,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m delighted to bring this kind of thing to this city,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It puts us on the map. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shania Twain or whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s somebody else. We now have an opportunity to do some quite unbelievable things.â&#x20AC;? SHANIA CONCERT
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rock this Countryâ&#x20AC;? is Twainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first tour in a decade and her last, she announced on March 4. See EVENT, page 14

Tickets will range in price from about $90 for general admission to $180 for grandstand seats. Tickets will go on sale on March 13 at 10 a.m. at capitaltickets.ca, at the Canadian Tire Centre box office and in other locations. Taylor congratulated Wesley Clover Parks in securing such a large act for its first major concert. “This does impress us much.” COMMUNITY HUB
Wesley Clover has also invested
$30 million to turn the parks into a “community hub for outdoor recreation and learning,” said said Karen Sparks, the executive director of Wesley Clover Parks. Calling the parks “the heart of the equestrian community,” in Ottawa, Sparks and Matthews went on to highlight other outdoor activity opportunities at the park, including cross country ski trails and a nearby biking trail. There are also plans to build soccer fields in partnership with local clubs. Work on some of the fields are expected this year, with room for 10 fields in total.

Just as the euphoria over Shania Twain’s concert announcement has settled into giddy impatience, city councillors have had to act fast to make sure the announcement really wasn’t just a dream. After it was announced that the Canadian pop country icon would performing at Wesley Clover Parks in Nepean on June 27, staff realized the site is not actually zoned for a concert of that size. That prompted Coun. Rick Chiarelli to bring forward an urgent motion at planning committee on March 10 to have staff initiate a one-day re-
zoning amendment so the concert can go forward “and so that my daughters don’t disown me.” “It would be a temporary rezoning just applying to this event and this day,” he said. “We have to move quickly so that the concert can go ahead.” Wesley Clover Parks in the Nepean greenbelt was redeveloped last year when the Wesley Clover Foundation took over the former Nepean National Equestrian Park and the nearby Ottawa municipal campground. The land is owned by the National Capital Commission, but the foundation operates under a long-term lease. Along with the

equestrian and outdoor activities development going on at the site, the foundation also wants to develop an outdoor concert venue, according to Chiarelli’s motion. With that in mind, Chiarelli said the NCC might move ahead with the necessary applications to permanently rezone the park to allow other major attractions in the future if the Shania Twain concert goes well. While the motion carried, Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais said he’s concerned about these types of one-off temporary zoning amendments – of which there have now been two in less than a week. He suggested city staff should better communicate current zoning rules to the owners of similar venues around the city so they don’t run into these problems in the future. The agriculture and rural affairs committee issued a temporary rezoning for the RideauCarleton Raceway on March 5 to permit a theatre and campground for one year, to accommodate an event coming to the site at the end of June.

Ottawa to play host to Olympic curling trials Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no secret the city has been working hard to sweep as many events into Ottawa as possible for Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 150th birthday, and the 2017 Roar of the Rings Olympic curling trials is just another point on the scoreboard. So says Innes Coun. Jody Mitic, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first sports commissioner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the 150th anniversary, the mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal and councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to have as many events as possible, and this is just another feather in our cap,â&#x20AC;? he said. The Olympic trials will be held at the Canadian Tire Place in Kanata, and Mitic expects the event to generate as much as $20 million in economic activity across the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at over 8,000 visitors to Ottawa,â&#x20AC;? Mitic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is major exposure for Ottawa nation-wide.â&#x20AC;? The trials will determine which Canadian teams will compete at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Elaine Brimicombe of the Ottawa Valley Curling Association said her group, which represents 45 curling clubs across the region, will organize about 600 volunteers to help run the event. She said the trials are a fantastic opportunity to showcase the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curling community, which numbers around 15,000 recreational and competitive participants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very social, you curl against somebody and if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the winner you buy your opponent a drink, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a coffee or a beer,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You chat afterwards; you spend some time getting to know your opponent.â&#x20AC;? Not to mention, having the trials in town is great fun for those who love the sport. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to go and see the best curlers in Canada and be up close and see them live,â&#x20AC;? Brimicombe said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To have the Olympic trials in the

The Senators Sports and Entertainment group led the bid to bring the Curling Canada event to the city, with help from Ottawa Tourism, the province and the city. As sports commissioner, Mitic said the two sporting events residents most often request are Ultimate Fighting and curling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had an eight-year-old come up to me and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;When am I going to get some curling events?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he said. Now the city can look forward to one of the biggest in the country. Ottawa adopted a policy
of â&#x20AC;&#x153;bid more, win more, host moreâ&#x20AC;? in 2011, funnelling money into its major events office to attract more national and international events to the city, particularly in 2017. To that end, Ottawa has already landed the 2017 and 2018 Canadian Track and Field Championships, which will take place at the Terry Fox facility at Mooneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay, the 2017 Canadian Videogame Awards, and the Association of Municipalities Ontario annual conference from 2017 to 2020. The FIFA Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World Cup will come to the capital later this year and the Tim Hortons Brier curling tournament is planned for 2016.

Rural road investment is ‘tale of two cities’ Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” That was Dale Harley’s opening statement as he addressed the Agriculture and Rural Affairs committee on March 5 to make a case for more rural road infrastructure funding in the city’s 2015 budget. Harley represents the National Capital Heavy Construction Association, which speaks for road builders, aggregate producers and the sewer and water main construction industries in Ottawa. He said the city gets high grades for infrastructure renewal when it comes to environmental services like drinking water and waste water management, but it scores low on road infrastructure– and it’s getting worse. “The city has a long-range financial plan that is going to see infrastructure renewal investment in roads double over the next 25 years. The problem is that investment is back-ended,” Harley said. In the meantime roads will continue to deteriorate, eventually costing the city more money because they’ll need to be rebuilt instead of just resurfaced, he said. “It’s ei-
ther pay me now, or pay me more later.” According to the city’s 2012 comprehensive asset management report, maintaining a road in very good standing costs between $2 and $10 per metre, while reconstructing a road in very poor condition can cost between $1,000 and $2,500 per metre. That’s bad news for the city, considering that a full 25 per cent of all roads across Ottawa were deemed to be in poor or very poor condition in its 2012 state of the assets report. That report found 54 per cent of the city’s roads were in fair condition (defined as “requiring attention” because the infrastructure could “exhibit deficiencies.”) But the bottom 25 per cent received a dire diagnosis that, in the case of the worst grade, means the roads were considered “unfit for sustained service” and could in fact already be unusable. Committee chairman and Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt said the city hasn’t ignored the report’s findings; on the contrary, that same year council approved its $340 million Ottawa on the Move program that resurfaced and rebuilt dozens of roads throughout the city
between 2012 and 2014. “When I first got here, our budget for roads in the rural area was next to nothing,” Moffatt said. “In the past three years we’ve resurfaced 20 road sections in RideauGoulbourn alone. When I was elected in 2010 the plan was for about one or two.” This year’s rural roads budget is $6.9 million, compared to $5.5 million in 2014. The bulk of that is for infrastructure renewal, while just over $1 million has been set aside for other upgrades and operational improvements. The committee was generally sympathetic to Harley’s case – Moffatt said he and his fellow rural councillors “will always push for roads” – but council has to find a balance between improving services and controlling taxes. “I would like to have more money for roads, I would like to see us making more investments,” said West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry. “But the question is how would we like to pay for this? Who would like to pay more taxes to address the concerns of the roads?” Indeed, Mayor Jim Watson has become well-known for his policy that if councillors want to put something into the budget, they also need to identify what can come
EMMA JACKSON/METROLAND
Dale Harley with the National Capital Heavy Construction Association makes a case for more rural road funding at the agriculture and rural affairs committee on March 5. out. That strategy has helped Watson keep tax increases below 2.5 per cent since he was elected in 2010. But sympathy wasn’t enough to change the numbers: the committee passed the ARAC draft 2015 budget without any amendments. Harley said he’s not surprised. His presentation was more about getting his concerns on the record in advance of the strategic ini-

tiatives discussion council will have later this spring to set the term of priorities – a process that will eventually carve up a $37.4 million pot of money largely to capital projects. “We do these presentations as a bit of a reminder that we’re constantly there,” Harley said. Harley was one of two delegations at the rural committee arguing for more room
in the 2015 budget for road infrastructure. West Carleton resident Ken Holmes said he’d like to see a strategic plan that lays out exactly how the city intends to improve the quality of its roads. “I’m a firm believer in performance measurement,” Holmes said. “It’s going to take 15 or 20 years to get a better grip on it.”
Plasco contract officially cancelled emma.jackson@metroland.com
The city has officially cut ties with Plasco Energy, according to the solicitor Rick O’Connor. “As a result of out-of-court negotiations, the city has been able to secure the termination of the Plasco Long-Term Waste Conversion Agreements ... effective immediately,” he wrote in a memo to councillors late on March 3. That only applies to the wasteto-energy company’s commercial facility, which never got off the ground despite several deadline extensions from the city to let Plasco find sufficient financing to move forward. Plasco signed a contract with the city to develop the commercial facility in December 2012, but struggled to find enough investors to back up its innovative technology that would turn garbage into usable energy. After two missed deadlines, the city eventually gave the Ottawa-based company until Dec. 31, 2014 to come up with the money, otherwise it reserved the right to cancel the agreement. Plasco missed that deadline and filed for creditor protection on Feb. 10. While the commercial contract has been canned, the city is still trying to negotiate the release of a $300,000 letter of credit to decommission the demonstration facility built on
city land near the Trail Road landfill. A Toronto court adjourned the creditors’ proceeding on March 3 to allow for “further negotiations” between the city and Plasco to discuss when and how the lease for the demo plant might be terminated, and how much money might be set aside for decommissioning.
“With the co-operation of Plasco and the court-appointed monitor, the city is attempting to ... ensure that the city’s decommissioning security of $300,000 for the demonstration facility is preserved and immune from any other creditors,” O’Connor said. Plasco has dozens of outstanding debts to investors, con-
tractors and service providers, from $78 for an airport limo ride to several loans of $22.6 million each from major investors. Plasco had been officially involved with the city since 2006 when the company leased it some land to explore the innovative technology which was supposed to divert waste from Ottawa’s landfills.

Last week a consultation was held on the final reports on the Blanding Turtle (an endangered species) Study and the Drainage Study for the Watts Creek and Shirley’s Brook watershed. The power point for the meeting can be viewed on the Development page of my website. There were many good questions from the public, particularly on the impact of the findings with respect to the development of the remaining 3 phases of the KNL subdivision. KNL received OMB approval for the development in 2006 and has completed the phase in Kanata Estates. The City required these latest studies to set a baseline for drainage of the remaining lands and the habitat of the Blanding Turtle. KNL is now developing a high level drainage plan for the remaining lands and working with the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) on a remediation plan for the turtles. The drainage study confirmed that the existing storm water pond (the Beaver Pond) can handle drainage for phase 9 (the lands immediately north of the Beaver Pond) and KNL’s plan will be for the remaining phases. Once the City and MNR are satisfied with the plans a number of things will take place including registration of the subdivision in large blocks and tree cutting in phase 7 (north of the Kizell wetland) and along the future right of way for the Goulbourn Forced Road. Final engineering plans will be prepared for phase 9, followed by servicing those lands and building new homes. Timing is not yet known. The new school site will be deeded to the school board once the lands are registered. Access to the site is being given so the school can be occupied in September 2016. More information will be provided when available.

Feedback acquired at this event will be used to update the plan and ensure it continues to meet the current and long-term needs of Ottawa’s older adults, including access to essential supports, programs and services. Lunch will be provided. Register now via the City website.

Deputy Ottawa mayor Mark Taylor, centre, speaks at a joint City-National Capital Commission announcement on the western LRT plan on March 6. Joining him are NCC CEO Dr. Mark Kristmanson, left, and NCC board member Bob Plamandon. Not pictured in the photograph is city manager Kent Kirkpatrick.
Week in Review I would like to thank everyone who joined me to celebrate International Women’s Day this past week as well as thank the staff at Don Cherry’s for the great service provided. Thank you to all who took the time to provide their suggestions for the 2015 Budget. I am pleased to share that the detailed design phase will now start on the West Hunt Club/ Old Richmond/ and Hope Side Road corridor. This project is estimated to cost $50 million dollars, and will be a new corridor to access the highway for our growing community. Additionally, a new program to install upgrades to the storm water system in Bridlewood, at an estimated $10 million dollars, will include upgrades to the Monahan Drain area as well as Inlet Control Devices that are to be installed on various streets throughout the community. The expansion to Meadowbreeze Park will be completed this year, and construction will commence for Crownridge Park. New outdoor recreation equipment will be installed throughout our community as we start the process of building the largest outdoor fitness trail in the City, that will run from the Monahan Drain corridor at Hope Side Road up to Walter Baker Park. In addition to the fitness track, separate fitness stations will be installed at Eva James Community Centre, Kristina Kiss Park, and the Kanata Recreation Centre.
OC Transpo Updates This Spring, OC Transpo will be making adjustments to service levels and capacity on several routes in order to continuously improve service for customers. The peak period trips on Route 164 that operate Monday to Friday from/to Hope Side Road will be extended slightly further east to bring service closer to a growing residential area located on Hope Side Road near Old Richmond Road. The new bus stops for this route extension will be on both sides of Hope Side Road at Richmond Road and will be added this April. Additionally, A trip will be added to Route 66 in the afternoon to increase capacity for Kanata South. Changes are also being made to the schedules of Routes 61, 62, and 66 to improve on-time performance.

NCC-city working group returns with new western LRT plan Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com
A working group formed during the 100day “truce” between the city and the National Capital Commission has reached a preferred joint solution to the alignment of the western leg of the city’s Phase 2 LRT project. On March 6, representatives from the city and NCC announced a new plan, signing a memorandum of understanding that will be presented to the NCC’s board of directors for approval. The recommendations from the working group would satisfy both parties’ demands – bringing light rail to the west end on time and on budget, while preserving the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway and surrounding green space. Bay Coun. Mark Taylor, standing in for Mayor Jim Watson who is recovering from a snowmobile accident, called the recommendations “a shared vision for a better city and a better capital,” and “a better option than any of us thought possible.” The recommended plan would see both lanes of the parkway aligned further south between Dominion Station and Cleary Avenue, with the rail lines buried directly beneath the new lanes. The creation of a “stacked” transportation corridor would allow existing trees located between the parkway and neighbouring homes to be preserved, while the green space fronting the Ottawa River would be expanded by 38 per cent. The rail line would go underground at a point further slightly further west from Dominion Station than in past plans, coming above ground at Cleary Station before connecting with the Richmond Road corridor on its way to the existing Lincoln Fields station. Two underpasses would connect pedestri-
ans and cyclists with the shoreline and waterfront bike trail. “We’re confident this entire segment … can be built within the city’s envelope of $980 million,” said city manager Kent Kirkpatrick, who estimated that the design changes in the recommended plan total about $120 million in savings. NCC chief executive Mark Kristmanson said the realignment of the parkway helped solve a number of problems. “Burying the train directly beneath the roadway of the parkway has allowed us to meet the criteria set out by the NCC’s board of directors in June 2013,” said Kristmanson. “Those criteria called for unimpeded access and undiminished views to the parkway … (This plan) vastly improves the pedestrian and cycling pathways as well as adds two new crossings that better connect the shorelines to the community. Dominion Station becomes the natural entry point to the parkland and its amenities, from Kitchissippi (Westboro) beach up to Cleary, along an ecologicallyrestored shoreline.” Included in the working group were members of city council, the NCC board, the federal minister responsible for the NCC (a role that switched from Ottawa-West Nepean MP John Baird to Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre halfway through the 100-day period) and the planners of design firm Urban Strategies. The working group looked both the new, recommended option (the ‘northern’ route) and the previous NCC-recommended alignment through Rochester Field (the ‘southern’ option), but “it became clear that, on balance, that it could not be supported,” said Taylor. “From the outset, it was a challenge to fit within the budget envelope the city had allocated, and the southern route posed greater
risks for costs going up further,” said Taylor. “On top of this, it holds much more significant community impact. We were not prepared to tear up Byron Linear Park or the green corridor through Rochester Field – two treasured community assets. Now, with this agreement, they will both have official parkland status.” The relationship between the city and NCC reached new lows late last year after a disagreement on where the light rail line would go. The city wished for a cheaper aboveground option running alongside the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway, while the NCC wished for a pricier alignment running below ground through Rochester Field towards Richmond Road. Caught in between were west end residents who didn’t want above-ground trains running anywhere near their properties. Watson and Baird signed the 100-day truce on Nov. 27, 2014, as a way of clearing the air between the two parties over the issue. “We wiped the slate clean and started over with two alignments – north and south,” said Kirkpatrick, adding that he was pleased the working group would stay intact going forward. Ottawa-Orléans MP Royal Galipeau, serving as federal interlocutor for the city’s light rail plan, said “the federal government welcomes the proposed alignment.” “I look forward to studying the report and working with (the participants) to ensure the best outcome,” said Galipeau. A public information session scheduled for March 30 will allow residents to voice their opinion on the new plan, with feedback collected as part of the project’s environmental assessment process. Another meeting will take place in late April.
Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stress over the big spring clean With the arrival of spring it often feels like the house is the dirtiest itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been all year making the big, spring clean a great way to refresh and renew from top to bottom. From cleaning the most challenging spots, like basements and kitchens, to scrubbing baseboards and convincing the whole family to pitch in, spring cleaning may feel overwhelming at first, but with the right tools and techniques, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be a daunting task. Whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re planning on cleaning a little bit every day or dedicating a weekend to cleaning, here are some quick and easy tips that will save time and energy and ensure that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not just thinking about cleaning, but actually getting it done: Tackle one task at a time. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to get distracted when cleaning and organizing multiple rooms in the house at the same time, so stick to one. This will give you a more immediate sense of satisfaction and get you closer to the end goal. Clean from top to bottom, literally. To prevent messing up areas that have already been cleaned, clean from the top working your way down. This ensures that all of the dust and dirt that may have fallen on the floor will get cleaned up. Set up bins for decluttering and label them: Keep, Garbage, Donate. Having a visual representation of what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re keeping can help you assess the space you need to house the items. If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t used an item in the past year, chances are you can do without it. Get into those hard to reach spaces. Rely on the help from ingenious little tools. A Swiffer Duster will easily clean behind cabinets, between blinds, and will reach the tiny nooks and crannies around your entertainment unit. Pay attention to details. Another nifty tool called Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Select-A-Size will get rid of the toughest soils like scuffs, crayon or finger prints from walls. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the little details that will make the overall clean look really come together. More information is available online at www.mrclean.ca and www. swiffer.ca. News Canada

Transitioning to the big leagues: high school brier.dodge@metroland.com
The class of 2021 had their first taste of St. Matthew High School during a special day designed to transition incoming Grade 6’s into intermediate school life on March 3. “It’s a great experience for the students because it gives them an opportunity to see what to expect,” said Convent Glen Catholic School teacher Chris Wakefield. “Many of them are filled with anxiety at the thought of leaving their small school.” St. Matthew guidance counsellor Alain Duguay said many incoming Grade 7 students were anxious and stressed about the change, which means
a larger school, sharing facilities with students up to Grade 12, and changing classrooms and teachers throughout the day. The school started offering the day nine years ago to introduce Grade 6 students to St. Matthew, and provide Grade 8 students – mostly St. Matthew students already – to high school programming. “They’ll actually meet some of the teachers they’ll have next year,” Duguay said. For the Grade 8’s, “they may find out about courses they can take down the line.” The Grade 6 students were welcomed to St. Matthew with an assembly and given Class of 2021 shirts to wear. A Grade 7 and 12 student who graduated from each of the feeder schools
spoke to the students about life at the secondary school. About 150 Grade 6 students attended, and went through a Grade 7 schedule to experience changing classrooms so they could ask questions. Each of the Grade 8 students was matched up with a mentor for the day, and shadowed a Grade 9, 10, 11 or 12 student. Duguay lets students request a family friend, older sibling or role model to shadow; if no request is made he tries to match up students with similar interests. The Grade 6 students saw graduates of their own feeder school, and were also able to meet up with older friends or siblings throughout the day. “Since we’re in our ninth
year, many will ask to shadow a sibling or family friend,” Duguay said. “Now there’s a tradition where the little Grade 6’s can’t wait to come in.” The top academic Grade 8 students had special programming, as they got an introduction to the school’s new advanced placement program. The advanced placement program differs from the international baccalaureate program offered at Colonel By Secondary School, so the orientation gave students a chance to compare. The advanced placement program segregates the top academic students for several topics, which allows them to be pushed further and move
through the curriculum faster, allowing for more special projects. Student s can also write exams at the end of their Grade 12 year which may grant them university credits. “In (advanced placement) here, you get more experiences and field trips,” said Grade 8 student Charlotte Harding, fresh out of her orientation class. “I heard how it’s a lot more handson (than the international baccalaureate program).”
Her fellow Grade 8 student Eleni Pantieras was excited about the science experiments the students got to see during a taste of the Grade 9 advanced placement program. The Transition Day exposes students to all their options and better prepares them for the next school year, Duguay said. While most schools have programs for their feeder schools, he believes St. Matthew is unique in the extent of their transitional programming.

RCAF Veteran Helps Change Lives at Bruyère Lt Col (ret) James Holt was a Canadian fighter pilot. He’s broken the speed of sound. Twice. Jim had two careers. He flew jets and was an aerobatic pilot in the RCAF. He retired and moved on to Foreign Affairs. His job was to make Canada attractive to foreign trade. Now Jim can consider a third career as a fundraiser. The path to this new calling is a story on its own.
NATIONAL ATTENTION
In 2014 Jim was diagnosed with stage four cancer. However, since he had been living outside of Canada for twelve years, he was ineligible for OHIP. With hospital bills mounting, Jim’s daughter Caroline turned to a lawyer for advice. The media heard of Jim’s story, sharing it across Canada. Bruyère Continuing Care waived the money owed by Jim until his issue with OHIP was settled.
ACCIDENTAL FUNDRAISER
Bruce Kane, Manager of the Royal Canadian Legion, Montgomery Branch, was in a meeting when he first read the news. “We have to do something.” he thought. Across Ottawa, Dee Brasseur (a trailblazer as one of Canada’s first female CF18 fighter pilots) is thinking the same thing. “What can I do to help?” Within days, Bruce and Dee visit Jim in his room at Élisabeth Bruyère Hospital. Bruce presents $5,000 from the Poppy Trust Fund. Dee brings $2,500 that she raised in a matter of days from donors across Canada.
STRANGERS TO SOULMATES
“Bruyère is Ottawa’s first and oldest hospital. Our work is woven into the fabric of our community. It is people like Jim who help bring what we do to the forefront. I’m so grateful for everything he is doing on behalf of so many.”
HELPING FUTURE PATIENTS
“This isn’t about me,” says Jim. “This is about people helping people. I cannot say enough about how well I am treated here at Bruyère. I know this kind of care doesn’t come cheap. I hope, through my story, that more people will join Dee and Bruce and help raise money for this wonderful place.”
The casual observer may think Jim, Dee and Bruce all knew each other. They did not. Jim brought them together. “When they first contacted me,” says Jim. “I told them I didn’t need the money, they should raise the money for Bruyère.” “You can’t help but be moved by what they’ve done,” says Amy Desjardins, President of Bruyère Foundation. “Jim Holt, his family, Dee, Bruce and all of our donors are perfect examples of the amazing people in our community,” says Amy.

Minto redesign passes at ARAC Emma Jackson
Emma.jackson@metroland.com
The city’s Agricultural and Rural Affairs committee approved Minto’s zoning bylaw amendment application without much fanfare March 5, paving the way for a redesign of part of the Mahogany development in Manotick. The amendment applies to parts of Spindrift Circle, Chriscraft Way and
Percival Crescent to create several new lot sizes and add a new village residential category. The changes will ultimately add 14 lots to Phase 1B at the corner of Manotick Main Street and Century Road. Several Minto representatives attended the meeting at Ben Franklin Place in Nepean, but they didn’t speak. No delegations signed up in opposition, either.
The motion carried with little discussion. “We did a lot of work in the past few months with the community associations and the village itself, and everyone seems moderately comfortable with how we’re moving forward,” Moffatt said. That wasn’t the case at a tense public meeting in November when residents accused Minto of trying to wiggle out
of the Ontario Municipal Board’s density requirements for the development, which was set at 1,400 units with at least 75 per cent of lots being 45 feet or larger when it approved the project in 2009. Phase 1B originally called for 197 lots made up of 52 small lots (35-foot frontages) and 145 large lots (60-foot frontages). The approved changes will now create 49 small lots of 38 and 35 feet and 162 lots of 47 and 60 feet – a total of 211 units. The changes won’t change the overall density of the project, which is currently planned to fall short of the al-
lowed 1,400 units even with the added 14. Minto’s vice president of land development Susan Murphy said at the November meeting that the changes respond to consumer demand for smaller, more affordable products. The smaller lot sizes were planned for later phases of the development, she said, but Minto decided to bring some of them forward early to spur slow sales. The company is only selling about 1.4 homes per month on average, instead of the projected six they’d hoped for, she said.

A weekly guide in legal matters
I have a chronic medical condition which unfortunately has become worse over time. For the last two years I have been receiving benefits through my employer’s disability insurance plan. Recently, the insurer wrote to advise me that the terms of the policy have changed and that they now require additional medical information - why is this happening and am I at risk of losing my benefits? Most disability insurance policies provided by employers have different coverage for different periods of time. For the first two years of an employee’s disability benefits are generally provided on the basis that you cannot perform the essential duties of your existing occupation. The definition of disability changes after two years in most policies. One of the first steps in your case is to obtain a copy of the policy from your employer. This policy will usually include a brief description of the criteria that an employee must meet to be entitled to disability benefits. In the vast majority of cases after two years of paying benefits policies will limit an employee’s entitlement to further benefits unless the employee is unable to work

in any occupation to which they are reasonably suited. Because of this change to the disability definition, insurance companies will generally review files and seek additional medical information if someone has been receiving benefits for two years. However, Ontario courts have recognized that whether an individual is able to perform any occupation depends not only on their particular disability, but also their basic skill set and educational background. In many cases insurers won’t cut off benefits once they have completed their review and have received additional medical information. However, if you and your insurer disagree about whether you are capable of returning to the workforce it may be time to contact a lawyer.

vantage and Yukon Blonde, among others, will headline at the largest dragon boat festival and competition in North America, which takes over Mooney’s Bay Park June 25 to 28, festival organizers announced March 2. “We definitely work toward a lot of Canadian acts, a lot of Canadian bands,” said John Brooman, president and chief executive officer of the festival and the Ottawa Dragon Boat Foundation. “But what we’re most excited about really is the fact that we’ve got kind of an even lineup right across the four days,” he said, adding that he personally is looking forward to seeing Hey Rosetta!, which organizers have been trying to bring to the festival for several years.

Late last month, festival organizers announced the performers and presenters who will be entertaining families in the children’s area of the festival. New this year will be Radical Science, The Great Balanzo of Acme Circus and bicycle stuntman Chris Clark. Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo, Lil John the Clown, the Company of Fools and Canadian Raptor Conservancy experts, who will put on a birds of prey flight show, will be returning for another year. “It’s nice, well-rounded kids’ entertainment throughout the whole weekend,” Brooman said. The free family fun will also feature an eight-metre inflatable slide, an obstacle course, a Smurf bouncer, a bubbles bouncy castle, magician Michael Bourada and the Paddling Puppeteers will do some storytelling. Children’s programming was first offered last year, and Brooman said at the time the entire event is like having a children’s festival within a music festival within a sporting festival within a fundraiser. “There’s something for everybody on this site,” he said, adding there will also be more than 50 concessions and exhibitors this year, as well as two bars. “It’s the largest free event in the city.”
About 70,000 visitors flocked to the festival at the park in 2014 to watch about 5,000 people on approximately 195 dragon boat teams race in competitive, corporate and community categories. There is still space for about 40 more teams to register for this year’s event. The festival has raised more than $3 million for charities since 1998 thanks to the support of festival-goers and dragon boat teams, which have the opportunity to raise funds for charitable organizations selected by organizers. For the second year, the Shepherds of Good Hope, Helping with Furniture, Heartwood House and Children at Risk Ottawa will each receive $25,000. Different charities will be chosen next year, but the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa will continue to be the event’s main recipient for two more years. It is receiving $500,000 over four years. Brooman said more festival announcements will be forthcoming, but he remained mum on whether more concert acts will be added to the roster of free performances. “We might have a couple of surprises coming up,” he said. “Who knows what’s going to happen? This is the dragon boat extravaganza. Anything is possible.” For details or to register a dragon boat team, visit dragonboat.net.

“Each and every day is solid and we’re really, really happy with that. We’ve been trying to grow that for quite some time.” Other musical acts slated to play on multiple stages during the 22nd-annual festival include Hollerado, Mounties, Jeremy Fisher, Craig Cardiff, Jim Bryson, Kalle Mattson, The Acorn and The Franklin Electric. Brooman said he has been “blown away” by the buzz the recent entertainment announcement has been generating in Ottawa. “What we’re getting is real respect within the (music) industry, which we’re pretty excited about,” he said. Acts at last year’s event included the Sheepdogs, Arkells, Stars and Hey Ocean. The event has come a long way since its launch in 1994 with 25 dragon boat teams, and Brooman said organizers have worked hard to build the festival – which now relies on about 600 volunteers – over the years by trying out different ideas. One year a professional table tennis tournament was incorporated within the festival. “I think the idea of the dragon boat festival is just the fact that there’s so many offerings on the site for people,” Brooman said. “There’s nothing else kind of like it in the city that we know of.”

Waupoos Family Farm wants to make its basement rec room usable year-round.
Waupoos Farm collecting for new recreation room Emma Jackson Emma.jackson@metroland.com
As we put this year’s bitterly cold winter behind us, Waupoos Family Farm is hoping to ward off the cold forever with a newly insulated basement. The Catholic-founded farm at Rideau and Bowesville roads south of the airport offers subsidized vacations to local families who otherwise may not be able to get away. The farm has a few friendly animals, 200 acres of green space, outdoor activities like a pool and basketball court, a busy communal lodge and five private cabins for families looking for some respite from the daily grind. But when it’s bitterly cold, kids visiting the farm don’t have anywhere to hang out because the rec room in the basement of the lodge, where kids can make use of game tables, a television and couches, is too cold except in
the summer months. “It’s not accessible all year round,” said Brendan Marshall, a member of the board of directors who also lives on the farm with his family. “The floor is concrete so it’s quite cold and it’s not insulated.” The board has launched a fundraising campaign to collect $10,000 to add insulated flooring and drywall in the space, so kids can play there in the winter without wearing three pairs of socks. A-Squared Home Improvements is donating some of the labour costs, but the farm still needs to pay for materials. Being a charity, Marshall said there’s just no cash flow to do it without community help. “We rely on grants and contributions, private donations and support through a variety of different grants,” Marshall said. “Finance usually is our biggest hurdle on the farm.”
While summer is certainly the farm’s busiest season – up to 40 people come to stay every week – it is also open for two five-day sessions over the Christmas and New Year break, as well as March Break and Easter. “In the winter when we’re hosting cottagers at the farm, our ability to do outdoor activities is contingent on the weather,” Marshall said. “The idea is to expand the lodge and the square footage for usage during those particularly cold days.” The campaign on Fundrazr.com ends March 21. To contribute or to watch a video about the project, visit http://fnd.us/c/8wSS1. The Waupoos Foundation was founded in 1975 by Father Fred Magee, when he and a group of volunteers took over a family farm on Waupoos Island near Picton, ON. Facilities were later expanded to include the farm in Ottawa.

The Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre showed off its new Smilezone, a remodeled waiting room for children seeking medical treatment, on Monday, March 9. The new waiting room features an aquarium, iPads for children to play with and original artwork decorating the walls as well as a new reception desk. The treatment centre provides specialized supports for children and their families, including physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speechlanguage therapy. Calling it the “Extreme Smilezone Makeover” and squeezing in the construction time into one weekend, Feb. 27 to March 1, Kathleen Stokely, CEO of the treatment centre, called it a “grand undertaking.” “We believe when you look at the results, it will delight and enchant clients, family, staff and visitors alike,” she said. “There was a beehive of activity here with various work crews demolishing the old areas and installing new drywall and custom cabinetry, including a new reception desk and a new fish tank.” On hand at the event was John Hartin, chairman of the
workers. Scott Bachly, chairman and founding member of the Smilezone Foundation was also at the unveiling as well as co-founding member Adam Graves, vice chairman and former National Hockey League hockey player. The foundation was formed after Bachly and Graves and their wives, after a long planning process, decided they wanted to make a positive change for children and society across Canada. “After numerous, soulsearching meetings between Adam, myself, our wives and our children, we decided this was an opportunity not only to give back to our community but to our society as a whole,” said Bachly. Bachly and Graves began the foundation based on the fundamental belief that it was for children, about children and a benefit for children. A handful of Ottawa Senators players arrived to sign autographs and take pictures with the children at the facility after the conference including Chris Phillips, Curtis Lazar, Jared Cowen and Daniel Alfredsson.

Ottawa Treatment Centre’s board of directors. “Over the last two years Smilezone has had great success and growth,” said Harton. “OCTC’s renovation represents Smilezone’s sixth makeover.” Bryan Murray, general manager of the Ottawa Senators was on hand as an honourary guest at the event. Battling colon cancer, Murray knows the importance of an uplifting environment in a normally drab and intimidating hospital. “When you go to a hospital on a regular basis you love an area that’s smiley,” said Murray. “Where your family, your friends and yourself can enjoy a little quiet time.” “I truly take it as an honour to be recognized this way,” he said. “I know (by experience) going through treatment, going through the everyday needs you have when you’re not 100 per cent. For the children and their families that are here on a regular basis. I hope this is a good area for them.” All of the funds for the renovations were donated by the Smilezone Foundation, which supplied its own construction

Unique present arrives from Chicago
F
or Mother to be standing at the kitchen door waiting for us to come from school wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in itself that unusual. What was unusual was her grabbing me by the arm and hustling me inside. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hurry Mary, get your clothes off, and put your galoshes on the papers ÂÂâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a surprise for you on the kitchen table.â&#x20AC;? Ginger cookies perhaps? A few slices of bologna from Briscoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Store? No, Mother was too excited. It had to be something special, but not so special that I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t told to put my galoshes on the papers covering the mat at the door. Heaven forbid that I should track snow across the kitchen floor. I could see the parcel from where I struggled out of my winter pants, jacket, toque, mitts and galoshes. It was a parcel wrapped in brown paper. That meant it had to
MARY COOK Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories have come from the mailman. Never in my life had I ever had a parcel come by mail. My brothers and sister got to the table first, but Mother told them they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t to lay a finger on it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for Mary,â&#x20AC;? she said. It was soft and about a foot square, and it looked like there were enough postage stamps on it to have been mailed from some foreign country. I asked my sister Audrey to read the return address written neatly in one corner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s from Aunt Freda in Chicago,â&#x20AC;? she said. My fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister, also, of course, a sister to Aunt Lizzie from
Regina, who always sent the hand-me-down boxes. But Aunt Freda had no children, or husband, so never once did we ever get anything from her that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t brand new. I was so excited I had to ask Audrey to cut the string that held the parcel together. Well, what came out of that parcel was something I had never seen before in my entire life. It was a square piece of fur with a long cord attached to it at two corners. Mother, who was just about excited as I was, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heavens to Betsy...itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fur muff. How lovely â&#x20AC;&#x201C; imagine a fur muff!â&#x20AC;? I had no idea what a fur
serious thought before wearing to the Lutheran Church on Sundays, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe into Renfrew. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to see.â&#x20AC;? Emerson came over to get a good look at this newfangled fur piece. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Looks like rat fur to me. Yup, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d put my money on it once being on the back of a rat.â&#x20AC;? Well, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all I needed to know. I hated rats with a passion. But Mother told him not to be silly, it was probably mink or at the very least muskrat. I was fast losing interest in the muff. That didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t excuse me from printing a letter to Aunt Freda to thank her for the lovely gift. I wanted to tell her I doubted I would ever be able to wear it, but Audrey, who was helping me with the spelling, said that would be very bad manners. And so my letter was full of gratitude for â&#x20AC;&#x153;your kind and considerate gift.â&#x20AC;? Well, leave it to Emerson to come up with another use
muff was, or what I would do with it. Emerson, never short on ideas, said he saw one once in Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hardware, and it was to lure rabbits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ridiculous, Emerson,â&#x20AC;? Audrey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to keep your hands warm. See, this is how it works.â&#x20AC;? Audrey placed the silk cord around my neck, and the fur square hit me just over my belly button. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now tuck your hands in itâ&#x20AC;? she said. Inside the muff was smooth satin, and it was like someone had put a hot water bottle inside. Within minutes my hands were as warm as toast. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What will they think of next?â&#x20AC;? I repeated a phrase Father often said after reading the Ottawa Farm Journal. In my mind I could see myself sauntering into the Northcote School with the muff. Mother soon put the kibosh on that idea. It was much too grand to wear to school, she said, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to give it

for the muff. He said I should use it as a foot warmer in bed at night. And that very night I took it upstairs and tucked it under the flannelette sheet before I crawled into bed. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t figure out how to put both feet in it at once, since it was only open at both ends, and my ankles simply didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bend that way. Since Audrey and I slept in the same bed, it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take her long to reach down, grab the fur muff and toss it in the general direction of the stairwell. In the morning, there it was, sitting on a step about half way down, silk cord and all. It was Father who finally found a use for the fur muff. Instead of taking an old cushion off the creton couch at night to put on the opened oven door to rest his feet while reading the papers, he tucked the silk cord inside, and put the muff on the oven door. Added to my nightly prayers, I prayed that Aunt Freda would never decide to come to visit during the winter, and discover what use her gift was finally put to.

New splash pad, play structures in the works for Hunt Club Park Deans concerned over city backlog in playground replacements Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Plans are underway to install a new splash pad at Calzavara Family Park in the Hunt Club Park community in late August. And while the initial hope was to construct the play feature the same year two play strcutures at the same park would be replaced by the city, there is no money in the budget this year for the replacement project. Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans, whose ward includes the park, acknowledged that the two structures at the park, located at 1602 Blohm Dr., are at the end of their lifecycle. But capital works dollars in the city’s community and protective services budget won’t be spent this year to replace play structures in parks across the city even though there is a backlog of waiting projects estimated to cost in the millions, Deans said, adding this means Calzavara Family Park won’t receive new playground equipment until 2016. “It’s concerning to me that the lifecycle maintenance has been all pushed off into 2016,” said Deans, chair of the city’s community and protective services committee, who raised the issue at a recent committee meeting. “Basically, they’re spending the money this year on (a citywide) electrical issue that they have to fix and on (provincially mandated) accessibility standards that they have to reach and it meant there is no money for lifecycle (renewal) for any park across the entire city of Ottawa,” she said. “You can imagine in a city this size, that’s quite a few.” That is adding to the backlog of play structures in need of replacement. “The larger problem is that there’s too much demand and
not enough money being put into that fund to deal with the lifecycle renewal,” Deans said. “I’m worried that we’re creating expectations that we’re not going to meet.” She pointed to plans to resurface the Greenboro pathway system in this term of council, which is included in the budget, but which could face delays. “But now I’m just very concerned it’s all going to get pushed out because there’s such a backlog,” she said. Still, news of the new splash pad is causing excitement among residents in Hunt Club Park. Construction of the new addition at Calzavara Family Park will begin in early August and is expected to be finished in late October. It will ready for use next summer. “A bunch of us have small kids and we told them that this happening, and just the joy in their reaction,” said Jennifer Hirst, communications liaison with the Hunt Club Park Community Association. When she told her fouryear-old son and seven-yearold daughter about the plans, they happily jumped up and down. “They were so excited. It’ll be great for them,” she said. Adults in the community are equally enthusiastic about what will be the community’s first splash pad. The nearest splash pad is at Winterwood Park behind Roberta Bondar Public School in the neighbouring community of Greenboro. “People are like ‘Wow, this is so great!’” said Hirst. Calzavara Family Park has seen better days. Two play structures there, one for younger children and toddlers and another for older kids, are outdated. The structure for older children is wooden. “It’s also getting pretty haggard,” Hirst said, adding that when the city replaces the structures next year, both will be situated together in one centralized area at the park, near the splash pad, “which is so much better for parents.” The current play areas at the green space are at opposite ends of the park.
Deans recently told association members that a sun shade will also be constructed at the wide-open park where residents say there are few options for cover when children are playing. Knowing the playgrounds were due to be replaced, community association members approached their councillor to see if a splash pad was doable at the same time. “We’ve been talking about the sad Calzavara Park as it is right now,” said Hirst. “There’s room for something exciting to happen there.” While Hunt Club Park residents enjoy using the wading pool at Elizabeth Manley Park near Conroy Road and Blohm Drive, where the association hosts its annual summer carnival, for some families it’s just too far to walk to, particularly for many living on Forestglade Crescent off Blohm Drive. “That’s a good two kilometers for them to walk,” Hirst said. “But if they go to Calzavara, it’s like half a kilometer. That’s perfect. “Now we’ve got our bases covered. There’s something for everyone in Hunt Club Park to walk to.” Some funds for a community improvement project had already been set aside when surrounding residential homes were built by Larco Homes several years ago. That pot of money is, in part, allowing the splash pad dream to become reality. While Deans declined to provide the estimated cost of the splash pad ahead of the tendering process, she said the new junior play structure is estimated to cost $73,000 and the play equipment for older children is budgeted at $105,000 for a total of $178,000. Community association members and residents are invited to view three splash pad designs and three play structure designs as well as an overall concept for the entire layout of the project during a Hunt Club Park Community Association meeting on March 26 at St. Thomas More School in the library at 7 p.m.

Splash pad construction is expected to get underway at Calzavara Family Park in the Hunt Club Park community this summer. The hope was to construct the water feature the same year two play structures would be replaced at the park, but city funds are being diverted to electrical and accessibility work, pushing the replacement work to 2016.

Potential for disaster at Walkley Train Yard: resident Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Fears of a Lac-Méganticcalibre explosion at the Walkley Train Yard that could endanger neighbouring communities have prompted a longtime resident of the area to raise questions about a proposed automobile storage site next to the yard where tanker trains roll through or sit idle. If the rail cars were to come loose and follow the natural incline in the area, they could potentially cascade into a nearby Sawmill Creek tributary behind a residential neighbourhood on Johnston Road and in back of a 3.1-hectare vacant parcel of land on the north end of Albion Road South, said Peter Stockdale, a local resident. “I don’t see much to prevent (an explosion). There are far more (rail) cars here than in Lac-Mégantic,” Stockdale said, referring to the Quebec town that was decimated after an unattended oil tanker train derailed in 2013, killing 47 people. “They’re not going to roll right into the centre of the town, but you have probably 150 households sitting right there.” City staff, GloucesterSouthgate Coun. Diane Deans, whose ward the vacant property is in, and the consultant representing the owner of the parcel of land being considered in the zoning application process said there is no cause for concern. Colin White, a planner with Nepean-based RorTar Land Development Consultants, who is representing Phoenix Commercial Properties, which is seeking a zoning bylaw amendment to permit the vacant lot to house new automobiles, said, “Frankly, the type of storage we’re talking about ... specifically precludes a salvage yard. The type of storage that’s being proposed here is new vehicles, which don’t carry very much fuel if any. “It’s not an issue,” White said of Stockdale’s worries the storage of oil in rail tankers along the train tracks at the yard combined with the storage of nearby automobiles could pose an increased risk of explosions. Stockdale first raised his concerns about the proximity of the rail yard to the future
storage site at 3180 and 3196 Albion Rd. South, where the north end of the road meets the train yard, and on nearby 2059 Bank St., during a public information session about the zoning application on Jan. 14 at the Greenboro Community Centre. “The rationale is that as long as the rail yard stores oil and explosive materials on their lands, and if there were to be an explosion, we wouldn’t want hundreds of vehicles with gasoline to be abutting the site,” Stockdale said during the meeting. “It could have significant effects on abutting communities.” Stockdale, who, since 1988, has lived in the Farilea community near Walkley and Heatherington roads about a kilometre north of the train yard, said he has counted between 75 and 100 rail tanker cars parked at the yard on occasion, reason why he is objecting to the new storage site.
“The spectacle of a river of burning oil coming down Albion Road to Johnston Road is not a pretty one ...” Peter Stockdale, president, Fairlea Community Association
“There’s no barrier,” said Stockdale, president of the Fairlea Community Association. “If oil starts oozing in this direction in the area, there’s really no impediment until it hits those ditches.” He insists that any vehicles at the future storage site would likely have gas in their tanks, further adding to catastrophe if rail cars with flammable materials roll unchecked that way. “The spectacle of a river of burning oil coming down Albion Road to Johnston Road is not a pretty one, and the thought that the housing now next to the railroad, which the railways fought developers over unsuccessfully, would go up in flames,” said Stockdale. His answer to mitigate the potential for disaster is to remove the rail cars from the yard. “I don’t think there’s any other way of dealing with up
to 100 of these things that are stored (at the yard).” Deans said that the property up for a zoning change is currently zoned light industrial, which permits the presence of an automobile dealership and an automobile rental establishment. “So already, as a right on that site, the zoning allows for cars to be on that property,” she said. “So all the applicant is doing here is adding one use that is very similar to the uses already permitted on this site and that use is the storage of vehicles.” As a result, the councillor said she sees no discernible difference between what is already in the area and the proposal for a potential automobile storage lot. FEARS UNFOUNDED
Deans said Stockdale’s fears are “highly unlikely” to come true given the fact that CN has removed explosive materials that were being stored at the train yard. In 2013, in response to concerns raised by Stockdale, Deans went to city staff about the storage of explosives at Rideau Bulk Terminals, which operates at the train yard. The company responded to the city’s fire prevention unit indicating “that all ammonium nitrate (the flammable chemical used there) would be removed from the site and delivered to their client, Maxam Explosives Inc. in Quebec outside of Saint-Jean-sur-Richlieu,” Deans said, reading a response on the issue that she received from Sue Jones, city manager of emergency and protective services. “Rideau Bulk Terminals also committed to not storing or handling ammonium nitrate at their Ottawa facility in the future,” said Deans. City staff said in their report compiled following the public information meeting that “CN has removed the storage of explosives from the (train yard) site due to non-conformance with provincial regulations (including fire protection requirements). Until their facilities are upgraded to accommodate explosives, the practice of storage of these materials should not be occurring.” See ZONING, page 48

Peter Stockdale, president of the Fairlea Community Association and longtime resident of the community, is worried the future storage of automobiles in proximity to the Walkley Train Yard where oil-carrying tanker cars are often parked could pose an increased risk for explosions, endangering nearby communities.

A vacant parcel of land at the north end of Albion Road South is currently the focus of a zoning bylaw amendment application that is expected to go before council for consideration on March 25. The site has prompted one resident to oppose the proposed storage of automobiles on the property due to safety concerns in connection with a nearby train yard.
Zoning allows automobile ROUTES dealerships: councillor AVAILABLE! We’re looking for Carriers to deliver our newspaper!

But Stockdale said he has not received any assurances that the oil tankers at the train yard are not a threat and would not result in a disaster similar to what occurred at Lac-Mégantic. He told staff at the public information session that, “Prevailing gravity could bring oil in the vicinity of the storage area proposed and there are no barriers to prevent burning oil from flowing down to Johnston Road.” But, again in their report, staff said, “It is not anticipated that the vehicles stored on the site will contain large amounts of fuel as they are being stored and not used on a regular basis.” If the property owner applies for site plan control approval, a future step in the application process required by the city, any issues concerning nearby “abutting uses” can be addressed at that stage, Deans said. “You might want to create a fence or barrier of some sort or a berm or who knows what if
there were issues,” she said. White said the current application is to permit just one additional use and how the property is developed is going to be determined at the site plan control application stage. That has not yet been sought by the property owner. Nor has Phoenix Commercial Properties made any arrangements with a particular dealership to sell or lease the plot of land, which has been on the market for a number of years. “But that certainly would be possible,” White said. “They’re just going through that (zoning amendment) process to be able to accommodate that (storage use) if one of these automobile dealerships steps forward and expresses an interest in purchasing the property.” The city’s planning committee voted on Feb. 24 to recommend that council approve the application for the zoning bylaw amendment when it next meets on March 25.

(NEE BREWER) Our family has lost our much loved matriarch. On March 3, 2015 Dorothy (Dolly) Fraser died at the age of 89 in the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital. Arnold is bereft at the loss of his wife of more than sixty years. Dolly was the ever proud mother of Michael Fraser, Kimberly Mann (Richard Power-Fardy) and Julie Nicholson (Colin) and even more proud grandmother of Jordan Mann (Cathia Landry), Patrick Nicholson (Becky Reid) and Marcus Nicholson. Dolly especially adored her great grandson, Max Nicholson. Although Dolly suffered from poor health for much of her life, she was always engaged in her children’s and grandchildren’s lives, always with an eager ear and always supportive. Indeed she was devoted to them and she expressed her love through her keen interest, her compassion and her generosity. Dolly shared her love of plants and nature, enjoying every minute at the log home at Golden Lake. We all share years of fond memories of camping and eventually cottaging there. Dolly loved animals and our family members always included beloved cats and dogs. Dolly helped to instill an appreciation of these things in her children. We are fortunate to have many of Dolly’s beautiful quilts, her handmade braided rugs, her sewing and knitting and many other examples of her art and her great skill. These items were made for her family with love and will be cherished always. Dolly’s family would like to thank Dr. Cathy Greenough and the wonderful staff at the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital. We couldn’t have made it through this tough time without their warmth, compassion, good humour and excellent skills. A celebration of Dolly’s life was held at the Pilon Family Funeral Home and Chapel Ltd., 50 John Street North, Arnprior, on Friday morning, March 6, 2015 at 11 o’clock. A reception followed. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Arnprior District and Memorial Hospital “Partners in Caring” Foundation, the Lung Association or the Arnprior & District Humane Society would be much appreciated.

Traffic stop at Bank and Walkley leads to guns, drugs, cash Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
A handgun, three shotguns, ammunition, drugs and cash were netted by Ottawa police during a routine traffic stop at Bank Street and Walkley Road last week. “This is an impactful traffic stop taking what are more than likely crime guns off the streets,” said acting Staff Sgt. Kenny Bryden, head of the Ottawa police guns and gangs unit, which is leading the investigation. East division patrol officers stopped a Honda sedan near the intersection around 2:30 a.m. on Feb. 28.

Three shotguns, more drugs and additional Canadian currency were recovered, according to police. “Usually we tow a vehicle, keep it in a secure location where it’s untouched ’til the investigators come with a warrant,” Benoit said of the process involved in a more extensive search. The total haul turned up a black .440-calibre revolver, three shotguns, approximately 60 rounds of ammunition for all of the weapons recovered, about 200 grams of marijuana, eight grams of cocaine and 100 tablets of morphine, police said. Bryden declined to provide additional details about the evidence in the case, including the drugs and guns. “(Morphine) is a type of street-level drug that’s available,” Benoit said of the pain reliever seized in the case.

Half Moon Bay residents will soon have a chance to comment on what programs could look like at a new school in their neighbourhood. Ottawa’s public school board has launched a study to consult the community on a number of issues including the school’s attendance area, its grade structure and programs. A working group consisting of representatives from nearby schools, board staff and local community associations will be formed this month to discuss the issues. A public consultation meeting for the whole community has been tentatively scheduled for October. The elementary school, which was granted provincial funding in April 2014, will have the capacity to accommodate around 674 students once built.
The school will bring much needed relief to some of Barrhaven’s other schools, where Half Moon Bay families have been busing their children. “Every school is bursting at the seams.” said Ryan Knuth, of the Half Moon Bay Community Association. Many children in Half Moon Bay families have to bus to schools up to 10 kilometres away, such as Barrhaven Public School, Jockvale Elementary School and Cedarview Middle School. Thousands have moved to the suburban neighbourhood, south of the Jock River, in recent years and more are coming, Knuth said. “It feels like there’s a new house put up every week and it isn’t going to slow down as Minto is going to start building Quinn’s Pointe,” he said. “We’re at a tipping point. All the schools in Barrhaven have
portables.” The province promised capital funding for the new school after the public school board made it a top priority. “We had done an extensive review and had put portables at four schools to alleviate the pressures,” said Barrhaven’s public board trustee Donna Blackburn, who pushed for the new school. “I thought that was unfair and the people of Barrhaven had more than their fair share of them (portables).” Construction is expected to begin in the summer and the new school is expected to open its doors in September 2016. Ottawa’s public school board has submitted a site plan application for the proposed school to the city. The school, at 3525 River Run Ave., would be two storeys high, with 66 parking spaces and 50 spots to lock up bicycles.
Hydro Ottawa mulls delivery rate hike Proposed 5-year plan aimed at modernizing electricity grid Steph Willems
steph.willems@metroland.com
Aging equipment and office accommodations have Hydro Ottawa considering a significant hike to its delivery rates. The electricity distributor is proposing a five-year upgrade plan designed to shore up the city’s electrical infrastructure, but it will come at a price, and at a time when hydro rates are in the midst of a steep climb. Between 2016 and 2020, Hydro Ottawa is proposing $537.3 million in expenditures. The money would have a number of uses – replacing the oldest lines, poles and transformers, building new infrastructure to serve expanding communities and the future LRT, as well as consolidating operations in a pair of new buildings, one of which would serve as a headquarters. Three older properties, all of which are aging and far from main transportation routes, will be sold. Before it asks the Ontario Energy Board for approval, Hydro Ottawa is gathering feedback from customers via online and telephone surveys, as well as focus groups. “Our goal is to continue delivering the electricity lo-
cal homes and businesses depend on, reliably and efficiently,” said Hydro Ottawa spokeswoman Rebecca Hickey. “With aging infrastructure and a growing city, significant investments must be made to achieve this goal. There is a balancing act that all utilities must consider when planning for the future – system reliability versus the cost to consumers. Generally, the more reliable the system, the more expensive the system is to build and maintain.” The utility calculates that 33 per cent of the city’s polemounted transformers are more than 50 years old, while 12 per cent of those poles are in poor or critical condition. As well, 17 per cent of the city’s overhead wires are in need of replacement. The upgrades would add $3.55 per month to the average user’s hydro bill – a number that would rise by $1.55 a month until 2020, at which point the upgrades would add approximately $9.80 to the delivery portion of your monthly bill. Electricity rates, which have risen 51 per cent during on-peak times in the past four years (and 41 per cent in off-peak times), are predicted to rise by another 42 per cent by 2018. Given this reality, there’s a possibility that some electricity consumers could be hit hard by the combined increases. “Higher power costs always have an impact on businesses,” said Kanata North councillor and Hydro Ottawa board member Marianne Wilkinson, adding that
city and provincial programs exist to help individuals and families who can’t pay their hydro bill. “Residents can lower their bill significantly, but it requires investment,” she said, referring to energyinefficient appliances. “The biggest problem is the cost of actual power, which is a bigger part of the bill. However, we do need to keep the power flowing.” Bills aside, power stops flowing in Ottawa for a variety of reasons, though equipment failure is the number one reason why the lights go out. Hydro-Ottawa says that 26 per cent of reported outages in the city can be attributed to equipment failure, more than those caused by weather damage (21 per cent). For the proposed changes to take effect during the planned timeline, the Ontario Energy Board would have to evaluate Hydro-Ottawa’s File proposal and complete the Hydro Ottawa is considering introducing a big increase to its delivery rates to help pay approvals process before the for plans to modernize its electricity infrastructure. end of the year. There’s currently no timeline for the survey, but Wilkinson sees the end period being this summer. “The OEB may or may not say this should be done by raising rates,” said Wilkinson. “But, Hydro Ottawa can’t go back to them until after a five-year period. So, there would be some continuity for five years, even if some customers didn’t like it.” Residents looking to weigh in on the proposed plan can make their feelings known by visiting hydro ottawa.com/survey.
