claimed top Canadian honours, which also comes with the title of Canadian Marathon Champion, and a $5,000 prize purse. The 2014 Scotiabank Ottawa Marathon sets the stage for the two marathoners to face off for the championship at Canada’s largest marathon. “I’m very happy with how the return to workouts has gone,” said Eric Gillis. “I’m feeling more on top of my game than I’ve felt in years. This has got me eager to really start rockin’ and rollin’ this Scotiabank Ottawa Marathon buildup. Ottawa is a race I’ve had my heart set on for years, the first ever marathon I watched live. 2014 is the year I finally compete and complete this great race!” The evening before Gillis and Watson run the marathon, Ottawa crowds will be treated to one of Canada’s most competitive races when Marchant and Duchene aim for the top Canadian spot at the Ottawa 10K. The Saucony teammates have a track record of pushing each other to personal best performances, including a groundbreaking run at the 2013 Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon where both runners broke the 28-year old Canadian women’s marathon record. Marchant, who now holds the Canadian marathon record of 2:28:00, will run Ottawa after racing the Boston Marathon in April 2014. “Once again I look forward to racing at the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend,” said Duchene. “I love the energetic

Fundraiser aims to provide haven for survivors of sexual violence The days were devoted to knee-surfing and zooming across the lake on a SeaDoo, while the nights were reserved for important rituals of the campfire, such as roasting s’mores or playing board games with her cousins late into the evening. Often, the early-morning hours were punctuated with howls of laughter that drifted up from the living room into the loft, where her aunt and uncle slept – or at least made the attempt. “Oh God!” said Rehtaeh’s aunt, Shari Canning. “They were screaming up (the stairs) in the middle of the night. “Our cottage is called the looney bin,” said Canning. During her visit, Rehtaeh opened up to her cousins and aunt about the terrible night in November 2011, when she went to a party in her hometown with a girlfriend where she said she had been sexually assaulted by several boys. Photographs of the alleged rape were soon circulated around the school, and the bullying began at school and online. In March 2012, she became
depressed and was hospitalized. A few months later her family sent her to spend three weeks vacation at her uncle and aunt’s cottage. “It was for her a chance to be just a teenager after everything she had been through with the sexual assault and the bullying,” said Canning. “It made a big impact on her. “It was a chance for her to breathe. She hadn’t had a chance to do that with the sexual assault and online cyberbullying.” A year later, in April 2013, Rehtaeh tried to take her own life, and was taken off life support three days later. Last August, prosecutors in Nova Scotia laid child pornography charges against two teens and the case is still before the courts. FUNDRAISER
Following the funeral of their niece, Canning and Kim De Angelis, who both live in Kanata, wanted to do something to honour Rehtaeh. They decided to form a foundation, called Rae of Light Havens, named after their niece, to help survivors
of sexual violence. The foundation will hold a fundraiser called Rae’z the Roof, at the Crazy Horse Stonegrill Steakhouse and Saloon in Kanata Centrum on May 1. The money raised will be used to rent cottages for use as retreats for survivors and family members to recover from their traumatic experiences. “It happens to a survivor, but it also happens to a family,” said Canning. Rehtaeh’s aunts have been knocking on businesses’ and people’s doors since January, looking for sponsors and support for the fundraiser. Both women have taken sensitivity training at the Ottawa Rape Crisis Centre and are members of the Ottawa Coalition to End Violence Against Women. “We wanted to be sure if contacted we were sensitive to their needs,” said Canning. “There’s a lot of trust surrounding this sort of issue.” Canning and De Angelis said they want their foundation to raise awareness about the “rape culture” in society today, something that has hit home in light of allegations of

Shari Canning, left, and Kim De Angelis, the aunts of Rehtaeh Parsons, a Nova Scotia teen who died in 2013, are holding a first-ever Rae’z the Roof fundraiser for survivors of sexual violence. The women hope to use the money to rent cottages for use as havens for survivors and their families to recover from traumatic experiences. a sexual assault by members of the University of Ottawa’s varsity men’s hockey team in Thunder Bay, Ont.

The rest went to trying to stop what might happen decades in the future. We regard this as immoral, effectively valuing the lives of people yet to be born more than those suffering today. 2 – The museum’s media relations representative was wrong to say that I asked them cancel the event. I left it up to the museum to decide what course of action to take in response to my complaint concerning the biased nature of the meeting. I have asked the museum to send a letter to the editor correcting their error but they have not responded. 3 – ICSC is not a lobby organization and, unlike the David Suzuki Foundation which had nine registered lobbyists active in the past year, I have never engaged in lobbying. Until the public better understand climate science, lobbying is pointless. Consequently, ICSC focuses on public education. 4 – I did not prompt the audience to misbehave. My question about the exclusion of scientists from the panel who did not support the climate scare was measured and polite. If anyone prompted bad behaviour, it was the Ecology Ot-

Second World War, has led to unprecedented levels of sexual violence against women, increasing the spread of HIV/ AIDS as one of the many consequences. And Canadian consumers may be unwittingly contributing to this atrocity. The conflict is fuelled and funded by an illegal trade in minerals in a number of African countries, including the Congo. These minerals are used in things we use every day such as cellphones, computers, tin cans, jewellery and even light bulbs. As consumers, we could play a role in ending the violence – provided we knew whether the products we buy use minerals sold illegally to support war.

Your report on the Feb. 5 Ecology Ottawa event, The Future of Snow and Skiing in a Warming World, held at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, contains information to which I would like to reply: 1 – The International Climate Science Coalition asserts that the causes of climate change are not properly understood due to the immature nature of the science. We “deny” nothing. We say that human activity causes climate change by land use change, urban heat island effect, and emissions of greenhouse gases. However, we doubt that rising GHG is causing dangerous climate change either now or in the foreseeable future. ICSC advocates increased funding for research so that someday we may be able to better predict future climate change, however caused.

Let’s make our changing neighbourhoods work for everyone
T
he people we used to call yuppies (young urban professionals) have been the salvation of many cities. They have revitalized older neighbourhoods. With their buying power and political activism they have demanded and got better restaurants and stores, improved schools and daycare facilities for their children. But there is a downside too, as some cities have begun to notice. As neighbourhoods become revitalized, property values go up, and along with them, property taxes. As the trendy stores and restaurants move into the neighbourhood shopping areas, rents go up too. All of a sudden, there is this wonderful neighbourhood and only the well-to-do can afford to live in it. But of course there are people who are not well-to-do living there. These are the people who lived there before it was fashionable to do so, when it was possible for a person of modest means to own a home in the neighbourhood. These are the people who had family-owned stores on the now-fashionable street. Unless these people get help, the locally owned stores disappear, the modest houses are sold and torn down to make room for much larger ones with three-car garages. The neighbourhood has been revitalized, but its character has been destroyed.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town A recent New York Times story details this process in several U.S. cities, such as Philadelphia, Boston, Washington and Pittsburgh, where so-called gentrification has threatened homeowners from the working- and lowermiddle classes. A common solution has been to freeze or lower property taxes for long-time homeowners, many of whom suffered through years of declining property values and perhaps high crime in the years before the gentrifiers arrived. Officials in those cities are aware that tax dollars have been spent on making their cities attractive to young professionals -- those dog parks, bike paths and soccer fields cost money. Often tax breaks were given to condo developers. So it seems a matter of simple fairness to make sure that long-time residents of more

modest means are not unduly penalized. At the same time, there is some political risk in doing so, since the revitalization process, with its march of new condos, is a continuing source of new tax dollars. A city politician who will forgo a source of revenue is a rare bird, so it’s clear that a crisis of sorts is in sight. Obviously the residents of American cities, because of the 2008 mortgage crisis, are in more of a bind than Canadians, but you only need to walk around a Canadian city to see that the problem applies to us too. The Glebe might have been the first neighbourhood to become (a) really nice, and then (b) unaffordable. Westboro has obviously followed and Hintonburg is next. What has happened on the residential level has been matched in the retail sector. Neighbourhood store after neighbourhood store has succumbed to increased taxes or increased rents. Too often the replacement has been a chain. Too often a hardware or grocery store has been replaced by a coffee shop or a fitness centre. The result: more power to the car culture that forces us to drive every time we need some little thing. Since our city government, like other city governments, says it wants to reduce the impact of the car culture, our city, like other cities,
should be trying to find ways to keep small stores in business, just as it should find ways to keep lower-middle class and working people in their homes. Failing some remedial action, the look of the future is there already for us to see: pleasant but unaffordable urban neighbourhoods surrounded by suburbs clustered around giant shopping centres, the two linked by a clogged river of cars. Gentrification, along with intensification, has been seen as the salvation of our cities. Well managed, it probably can be. But cities need to be for everyone.

new study published in the Social Science & Medicine journal suggests there may not be much difference in long-term outcomes for babies whether they are breastfed or bottlefed. The research, led by Ohio University sociology assistant professor Cynthia Colen has been met with skepticism by breastfeeding advocates. Bottle feeding proponents, on the other hand, are circulating it as evidence that cuts through the overblown criticism of formula feeding. Colen’s study initially did comparisons seen elsewhere, although her sample was larger than usual – around 8,000 – and the age range greater. She examined children between the ages of 4 and 14. Overall, Colen found breastfed children performed better in 10 of 11 health indicators, including BMI, obesity, asthma, various intelligence measures, hyperactivity and attachment. But then she did something different. Colen nearly perfectly controlled for race, income and age by comparing children within the same family, which made up 25 per cent of her original sample.

‘We still have a long way to go’ Mayor, councillor speak about importance of women in society Sabine Gibbins
sabine.gibbins@metroland.com
News - A councillor’s women’s day breakfast brought to light the triumphs and tribulations the female population continues to experience around the world. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson hosted her annual International Women’s Day Breakfast on March 4 at the Mlacak Centre. Kellie Leitch, minister of status of women, was slated to be the guest speaker at the event, but due to a conflict in her schedule, was unable to make it. Wilkinson enlisted Mayor Jim Watson and Elaine Larsen, the co-ordinator for the city’s Head Start for Young Women Program to speak in the minister’s place.
Head Start is a program designed to connect women in municipal politics with young women who come together to identify the barriers to young women’s participation in society and find ways to address them. WOMEN’S DAY IMPORTANCE
Watson addressed the importance of holding International Women’s Day events around the globe. “From time to time you get people either on phone-in shows, radio, or writing letters to the editor, and they ask, ‘Why do we still need an International Women’s Day? Is that not a throwback from another era? We’ve got equality, we’ve got equal pay for equal work …” The mayor referred to the

Mayor Jim Watson is surrounded by participants of the Head Start for Young Women Program. The program works to identify the barriers to young women’s participation in society and find ways to address them. recent allegations of sexual assault by members of the University of Ottawa’s men’s varsity hockey team in Thunder Bay, Ont. “The really sad and disturbing incidents we have seen at Ottawa U in the past few days answer that question why we still need to have an International Women’s Day in Canada and throughout the world,” he said. “The very, very horrid emails that were sent to the female president of the University of Ottawa Students Association, the disgusting texts and innuendo and verbal sexual abuse we
saw in those emails is exactly why we still have to ensure we not only come together to celebrate the success of women in our community and around the world, but also to (send) a very clear message to all residents of our city and all residents of the world that this kind of behaviour is completely unacceptable and should not be tolerated and should be called upon for immediate withdrawal.” Watson also addressed the suspension of the university men’s hockey team after police began an investigation of an alleged sexual assault. “While I am not here to cast
judgment because the matter will go before the courts, we see these types of incidents far too often in our society,” he said. “So when people come to you and say ‘Why do you hold a woman’s day event?’ I think you have to remind people throughout the community we still have a long way to go in this city when it comes to respect for women, equality for women.” “I think when you see around the world the things that are happening and the fact that women have no rights to drive in certain countries, and no right to vote, and no right to hold political of-
fice and no right to go out afterhours, you realize we still have a long way to go.” Wilkinson echoed the mayor’s comments, saying how lucky residents were to live in Canada. “We know very well from reading the paper that in many parts of the world women have almost no rights,” she said. “We’re very lucky in this country, despite what’s going on right now (at the university),” she said. “There are many things that are still happening and we as women have a responsibility not just here but worldwide.” R0012589077

‘You can have it all’ Leaders inspire women to chase dreams, goals Sabine Gibbins

Community – Every woman has the potential to chase their dream. On March 5, this was the overriding message heard by dozens at an International Women’s Day event held at Don Cherry’s Sports Grill. The event was hosted by Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley, who brought forward four local female community leaders, all from various walks of life, who provided positive messages to those gathered. West Ottawa Soccer Club’s head coach Kristina Kiss was the first guest speaker. The former Olympic athlete, who grew up in a family of six including her parents, told the audience the story of how she gained
confidence to become a professional soccer player in a sport dominated by men. As a mother of a two-yearold son, balancing her career and family life has proven to be a challenge. “I feel it is important for me to show young athletes the potential sport has to offer,” she said. “I never would have thought it possible to make a living coaching soccer or playing professionally.” From an early age, her parents instilled in her to have the utmost respect for people around her, as well as concentrating on doing well in school, and putting in 100 per cent effort into sports. “I loved every minute I was on the field,” she said. “I wanted to be the best and score the most goals every game. I never gave the fact that I was normally the only girl on the team any thought. This was an environment I fit into and my teammates welcomed me into.” Kiss played on a team with the boys until she was 15, and in her later years would win medals twice with the Canadian women’s national soc-

Singer/songwriter Ashley Crnic entertains the audience during Coun. Allan Hubley’s women’s day event. “It’s important for us to support our kids in whatever direction they choose,” she said, “It would be nice to see a world where kids didn’t have a sense of what they should be thinking and doing but instead what they actually think and want to do. This is a world that I want to see, and I think by supporting and
inspiring our children we can make this a reality.” ‘CAN DO IT’
The second speaker that evening was Michelle Taggart, the director of development for Taggart Construction, who told the audience they can pursue a dream career while raising a family.

cer team at the Pan American Games in 2003 and 2007. Through these experiences, she never thought of herself as a “female” soccer player – she was an athlete, she said. This was something she fought hard to defend as she wanted to be treated like everyone else. She played soccer professionally for nine years before retiring in 2009. While attaining her coaching certification, the “old boys’ network” still rang true. She felt she constantly needed to prove herself in front of her peers to gain the respect. She remembered one instance where they picked players for a team game. “Being the only woman (on a coaching certification course), I was picked last… yes, even behind the 70-year-old man who could barely walk,” she said. “The reality is that women still need to prove themselves in the sporting arena.” Nowadays, Kiss believes a big part of increasing the number of coaches starts with positive role models.

“What I wanted to talk to you guys about tonight was that quite a few times over the years women hear that they can’t have it all,” she said. “I really do believe you can have it all. And I say that with such confidence because I think that in order to be someone who has it all there are three things that you need to have.” The first thing was to think about what one actually wants. For Taggart, this means being a mother, a wife, a leader in her community, to be fit and healthy, being with friends, and enjoying everything in life as it unfolds. “It’s important to be real with yourself; that’s what it means to have it all,” she said. She went back to work when her kids were two months old, but believes this has made her become a better mother and person over all.” The second step people should focus on is surrounding oneself with loving and supportive people, and the third is taking the last step in doing it all. “To have it all is to do it all,” she said. “You can have whatever you want in life, and you can go for your dreams, and do anything you want to do. It’s really a matter of figuring out what it is, and believing in yourself that you can do it, and just going out there and doing it.”

Despite Depression, still many treats to be had
G
oodness knows we were reminded often enough that there was a Depression on. Just ask for something as simple as a pair of white stockings, or a new hair ribbon, and you were told once again of the scarcity of money. “There is no money for such frivolities,” we were told. And just as often were we told, “Eat every last scrap on your plate. If you don’t, you’re taking it right out of the mouth of a starving Armenian.” I had no idea who the starving Armenians were, but I was pretty sure they lived in Arnprior. Yes, wasting food was a sin, and if it cost money and wasn’t absolutely necessary, your chances of getting what you asked for were pretty slim indeed. Yet we had what I called treats aplenty back in the 1930’s. When the nights were bitterly cold, with the wind howling outside, rattling the windows, Mother could always come up with something that took the chill out of the old log house. Often it was a popper full of corn, laced with a jug of melted butter. Sometimes it was a treat that my sister Audrey said took the place of a good dose of Epsom salts, but to me it was delicious. Had I stopped to think about it, it wasn’t something handed out willy-nilly -- in fact, we only got it in the dead of winter. It
MARY COOK Memories was a big glass of molasses, water and a heaping tablespoon of baking soda. It fizzed up, often pouring out of the glass, and I considered it a real treat, which pleased Mother. It was never handed out on a school night, of course, because the result of this special treat was many trips to the outhouse. Audrey called it “our winter clean out,” but to me, it was a treat. Then there was oven toast. How I loved oven toast. It didn’t come out looking like the toast made on top of the stove, over hot coals. Every one of us considered it a special treat, and when Mother asked, “Who would like a piece of oven toast?” we all squealed with anticipation. Only Mother could turn out oven toast the way I like it. She would lay out slices of thick homemade bread on the bake table, lavish butter on both sides, put a wire rack over a couple deep pie plates, put the bread in rows on the rack, plug in another block of wood into the stove, and put everything into the hot oven. The butter-saturated bread would crisp to a light golden brown, and
ottawa
I thought it was the most delicious treat Mother ever invented, breaking the slices into pieces and gobbling it up with butter running down my fingers. The trick, Mother said, was not to take it out of the oven until it was crisp, but not letting it brown. She knew just how to manage it all in right order, and there wasn’t, in my mind, a more delicious beforebed treat than oven toast. There always seemed to be lots of home-made bread at our house. Mother baked once or twice a week, and we five kids were forever fighting over who got the crusts at either end of the loaf. It got to the point where Mother had us draw straws for this treat. And a special bedtime treat was a thick slice of homemade bread, buttered of course, and then spread with a layer of brown sugar with cinnamon sprinkled on top. I have no idea why she did it, but Mother always cut the slices into little squares before piling them on a dinner plate in the middle of the table, moving the sugar bowl and spoon holder to make room. The whole pile would vanish in minutes, and we would head off to bed with sugar-filled stomachs and a feeling of complete joy. Audrey became an expert at making fudge. No one could talk to her when she was at the job. I would sit at the table and listen to her slap
the big wood spoon around the pot which was inside another pot of cold water. It had to be just the right consistency before she poured it into a buttered pie plate and left to chill. When she wasn’t looking, I would go out to the summer kitchen where the pie plate of fudge was sitting, and press my finger into it, just to make sure it was hardening. If Audrey noticed the finger marks, she said nothing. That night, when we were sitting around the old pine table, each engrossed in their own activity, Audrey would cut the fudge into little squares, and dole them out like they were chunks of gold.
Once the maple syrup season started, and Mother retrieved a pot of sap from the big flat pan boiling in the bush, simmering it down to a right thickness, we had “taffy on snow,” a special treat on a Saturday night or Sunday afternoon. Mother of course, made sure the snow brought in from outside was nowhere near the barn yard, and well away from the house. Heaven forbid that a stray animal had put a foot within a county mile of the snow my brother brought in on the big roast pan. See SIMPLE, page 20

Sponge cake with caramelized apples Lifestyle - This simple dessert makes a beautiful finish to a delicious Irish meal. Preparation time: 35 minutes. Baking time: 30 minutes. Serves eight.
Continued from page 19
Ingredients
Cake • 4 eggs, separated • 175 ml (3/4 cup) granulated sugar • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) cream of tartar • 175 ml (3/4 cup) all-purpose flour • 25 ml (2 tbsp) pure apple butter Honey-Glazed Apples • 25 ml (2 tbsp) butter • 4 medium apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced • 125 ml (1/2 cup) liquid honey • 125 ml (1/2 cup) pure apple butter Preparation
Cake: In a large bowl, beat egg yolks using an electric mixer on high speed for two minutes. Add 90 ml (6 tbsp) of the sugar, 15 ml (1 tbsp) at a time, beating until thick, creamy and pale yellow -- about five to seven minutes. Set the mixture aside. In a glass or metal bowl, with clean beaters, beat the egg whites until foamy, then beat in the cream of tartar until the mix-
Depression years offer simple pleasures
ture is frothy. Add the remaining sugar, 15 ml (1 tbsp) at a time, beating until stiff peaks form -about three to five minutes. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the yolks. Gently fold in the flour until no streaks remain. Spoon in the apple butter and gently fold it into the mixture. Spoon the mixture into a 23-centimetre (9-inch) tube pan, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon. Bake in centre of 160
C (325 F) oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until a cake tester inserted comes out clean. When it’s done, turn the pan upside down and let hang on legs attached to pan, or on a bottle, until it’s completely cooled. Remove from the pan. Honey-glazed apples: In large skillet on medium heat, melt the butter. Cook the apples, stirring occasionally, for two minutes. Stir in the honey to coat the apples and bring to a boil. Reduce
heat to medium-low and cook for three to five minutes or until apples are slightly softened and glazed. Pour the apples into a heat-proof dish, cover and set aside for up to 4 hours. Cut the cake into eight equal slices and spoon the honeyglazed apples over each slice. Top each with 15 ml (one tbsp) of apple butter. Foodland Ontario
The hot syrup would be drizzled on the fresh snow, left to harden, and then we lifted it off with buttered fingers and sucked the taffy like we would a sucker bought at Briscoe’s General Store. I shared a special treat with Audrey that no one else in the family +seemed to relish. When a jar of preserved plums would be brought up from the dug-out cellar for a meal, and the pits were all that were left in the little fruit nappies around the table, Audrey would get out the breadboard, and the little tack-hammer, and she’d break open the pits freeing the pulp from inside. We would wait until all the pits had been smashed open, and then Audrey and I would move to the creton
ottawa
couch near the Findlay Oval, and between us, we’d devour the fruit nappy of pits as if they were store-bought candy. Even my brother Emerson’s prediction that eventually the pits would sprout and grow a plum shrub in my stomach didn’t take away my love of plum pits. Those long-ago days of the Depression years were years of the most simple pleasures, and treats free of an outlay of money, and long before cholesterol was part of our vocabulary.

Seven new school builds, renovations announced French public school in Morgan’s Grant to receive building addition Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com
News - Seven new Ottawa school renovations or builds were approved at an announcement by Education Minister Liz Sandals on March 6 at Broadview Public School. Among them, was a new elementary school in Avalon, which has been working under the name Avalon 2. “I’m glad that the need for the school speaks for itself,”
said John Shea, the Orléans public board trustee. Several parents, such as Wally Peters, who has been helping push for a new Avalon school, attended the announcement. He said he was excited for the new community project, which will benefit his son, who is in Grade 4. Right now, students at Avalon are crammed into portables to accommodate an overflow. The Orléans MPP, Phil McNeely, attended to announce
the Orléans funding along with Sandals for the Orléans school. It will hopefully open in September 2015. Avalon was the board’s top priority, until October. During an Oct. 22 board of trustees meeting, Avalon 2 was bumped from first to seventh place on the public board’s priorities list. The switch moved the new Half Moon Bay elementary school in Barrhaven to the first spot. After that meeting, Shea said he was hopeful the ministry would still consider Avalon 2 the top priority based on the business plan. Funding is given out based on the strength of each project’s
NOTICE OF PASSING OF A ZONING BY-LAW BY THE CITY OF OTTAWA TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the City of Ottawa passed By-law Number 2014-74 on February 26, 2014, under Section 34 of The PLANNING ACT. AND TAKE NOTICE that any person or public body, who, before the By-law was passed, made oral submissions at a public meeting or written submissions to City Council, may appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board with respect to the By-law, by filing with the Clerk of the City of Ottawa, a notice of appeal setting out the objection to the By-law and the reasons in support of the objection. An appeal must be accompanied by the Ontario Municipal Board’s prescribed fee of $125.00, which may be made in the form of a cheque payable to the Minister of Finance. A notice of appeal can be mailed to the City Clerk at 110 Laurier Avenue West, Ottawa, Ontario, K1P 1J1, or by delivering the notice in person, to Ottawa City Hall, at the Information Desk in the Rotunda on the 1st floor, 110 Laurier Avenue West. A notice of appeal must be received no later than 4:30 p.m. on April 2, 2014. Only individuals, corporations and public bodies may appeal a zoning By-law to the Ontario Municipal Board. A notice of appeal may not be filed by an unincorporated association or group. However, a notice of appeal may be filed in the name of an individual who is a member of the association or the group on its behalf. No person or public body shall be added as a party to the hearing of the appeal unless, before the by-law is passed, the person or public body made oral submissions at a public meeting or written submissions to the council or, in the opinion of the Ontario Municipal Board, there are reasonable grounds to add the person or public body as a party. Should the By-law be appealed, persons or public bodies who wish to receive notice of the Ontario Municipal Board hearing can receive such notice by submitting a written request to the planner identified in the explanatory note that accompanies this Notice.
business plan, Education Minister Liz Sandals said. “So what that tells you is that the business case put forward by Avalon may have been stronger than some of the other business cases,” Sandals said. “It’s not unusual that when the ministry staff do the scoring and evaluation of the business cases that they will come up with a different priority order than the board has.” She said the board’s priority list comes into play if several similar projects scored comparably on the business cases. In this case, Avalon’s business plan was strong enough for the board to approve funding over the board’s third priority, a West Carleton Secondary School addition. BROADVIEW; HALF MOON BAY APPROVED
Two other public board projects were also approve: a rebuild of Broadview Public School and a new elementary school in Barrhaven, in Half Moon Bay. Many parents and students from Broadview stayed after school for the March 6 late afternoon announcement, and broke out in cheers when the rebuild was announced. Students will stay in the current school while the new school is built, said Stephanie Craze, the chair of Broadview’s parent council.She said the school is long overdue for a rebuild. “This team worked tirelessly over the past three years and more to fight for the needs of our kids,” said Craze, of the people who worked on the Broadview rebuild application. “Thanks to our kids, who were patient with us and have been so understanding when we missed the soccer games and dance re-

LIZ SANDALS hearsals at dinner time to attend board meetings, write business cases or meet on a Sunday to discuss strategy.” The second brand new public elementary school will be in Barrhaven, in the growing Half Moon Bay community. “I’m ecstatic about the announcement,” said public board trustee Donna Blackburn. “Half Moon Bay was the top priority.” The Half Moon Bay Community Association members have said they expect the suburb to almost double in population by 2016, creating demand for a new school. FRENCH EDUCATION IN DEMAND
The three other boards that received funding were also happy to see projects moving forward. “There’s some good news for every board,” Sandals said. Pierre-Savard French Catholic high school in Barrhaven is overcrowded, meaning the dreaded portables get heavy use. “We’re thrilled to have the approval of 12 new classrooms; 250 spots for kids,” said Chad Mariage, Barrhaven trustee for the French Catholic Board. “It’s
going to solve a lot of the issues going forward. We’re looking at breaking ground in the spring of 2015. We’re very excited.” South Ottawa’s lone funding announcement went to SainteGeneviève French Catholic elementary school in Alta Vista. The school will tear down parts of the school built 60 years ago. “The first part of the school was built in the 1950s, and the second in the 1960s, so we’re really tearing down part of the school and building new classrooms,” said Denis Poirier, the French Catholic board chair. “Long overdue and we’re happy, so today’s a good day.” Kanata will also see the French boards growing, as the public board will add to on the Kanata French public elementary school in Morgan’s Grant. “We’ve been living in portable classrooms for the past several years, so the students will now be in more standardized classrooms,” said Stephane Vachon, superintendent of education for the French public board. PROJECTS APPROVED:
• Addition to the Kanata French public elementary school in Morgan’s Grant •Addition to Pierre-Savard French Catholic high school in Barrhaven •Major retrofit and addition at Sainte-Geneviève French Catholic elementary school in Alta Vista • New public elementary school in Half Moon Bay in Barrhaven • Rebuild of Broadview Public School in west Ottawa • New elementary school, Avalon 2, in Orléans • New Catholic elementary school in Barrhaven

3 Ways to Buy a Home for Less Money Ottawa & Area - If you're like most homebuyers, you have two primary considerations in mind when you start looking for a home. First, you want to find the home that perfectly meets your needs and desires, and secondly, you want to purchase this home for the lowest possible price. When you analyze those successful home buyers who have been able to purchase the home they want for thousands of dollars below a seller's asking price, some common denominators emerge. While the negotiating skills of your agent are important, there are three additional key factors that must come into play long before you ever submit an offer. This topic has been the subject of extensive analysis by Industry Experts, and a summary of their findings, and a specific step-by-step purchase plan for homebuyers, can be found in a new special
report called "Homebuyers: How to Save Thousands of Dollars When You Buy". This free report outlines the psychology of how a seller sets their asking price, and gives you 3 simple steps to follow, before you even set foot in a seller's home, which could help you to successfully slash thousands of dollars off the price of the home you want.

Arts - Kanata Theatre is getting ready to present the penultimate play of their 45th season. Over their long history presenting more than 280 productions the group has done a wonderful job of staging a variety of genres, including farces, war epics, dramas, satires, Shakespeare and musicals. Their next play falls into the category of comedy/thriller and it will not disappoint. Murder In Noirville, written by Peter Colley and directed by Martin and Helen Weeden looks at the humour and fun of “film noir� that was so popular in the 1940s and 1950s. Set in the quaint little town of Edenvale, the play has a real “Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall� feel to it. We meet Joe Adamante, a burned out big city cop played by Peter Veale, who moves to a small town in an attempt to heal and put his life back together. He quickly realizes life in a small town is far more dangerous than the gritty, big city. Caught in the middle of mur-

Retirement reality check for baby boomers Sarah Kingdon
Lifestyle - Are you dreaming of an early retirement full of travel, golfing and more time at the cottage? If so, you may want to meet with your financial advisor to see if it can become a reality. “Retirement has been redefined because people are living longer and many have been overspending in this consumer-driven econo-
my,” says Stephen Reichenfeld, a wealth counsellor at Fiduciary Trust Company of Canada. “If you still haven’t paid off your house and have credit card debt, it’s probably best to delay retirement and start saving more.” Make lifestyle adjustments. Review your spending habits and make some hard decisions with your advisor’s help. Would it be possible to downsize your house
now that your children have moved out? Do you really need two cars? Would it be possible to delay that European dream trip? Seek financial advice from someone who can see the big picture and ensure that your plan will help guarantee a long and successful retirement. More information on retirement planning is available on websites such as www.fiduciarytrust.ca.

News – Kids light fires in the Carp Hills. Snowshoers and cross country skiers are in conflict with snowmobilers. Few seem to know or care where public lands end and private starts. Hikers are in the line of shotgun-wielding hunters. Trails are too numerous and growing. ATVs are ripping up environmen-
tally sensitive parts such as Blueberry Hill and the Carp Barrens. All as development encroaches. “Right now all kinds of people are going up there. It’s an issue that needs resolution,” Greg Leblanc told the Carp Memorial Hall crowd of almost 100 on March 5. “It’s getting out of control.” Leblanc is with the newly formed Friends of Huntley Highlands, a group exploring ways to preserve the Carp
Hills. They asked if others in the room were interested in doing the same. Almost every hand went up. However, few details were provided on which areas of the 506-hectare escarpment will be sealed off from human use and which will be promoted as recreation destinations. Not to mention where the money would come from to assert authority. See FRIENDS, page 29

He said right now no one knows which areas are environmentally sensitive and that there is no proper signage to protect landowners’ rights. His group would at least bring some controls in place. There is no fear of widespread developments taking place on the ridge. But there is nothing stopping individu-

als from purchasing a small parcel of land and building a house. If that happens too often, the entire highlands could no longer be enjoyed by the public. The Friends’ idea is to eventually link the Carp Hills with the South March Highlands. “We have to come up with raising the money or we can let it go the way it is,” Leblanc said. “The lands will be sold, fenced off and houses built, and it’s gone for good.” For more details log onto huntleyhighlands.com.

A subcommittee is tasked with land assessment and conservation planning to take care of the preservation side. Another will fundraise and foster partnerships to raise money for the purchase of key parcels linking larger tracts. (A third committee will deal with communications and community events, while a fourth will take care of projects and activities.) Eli El-Chantiry was on hand and reiterate, to the point of producing chuckles from the crowd, that the city doesn’t have any money to contribute. While Leblanc said it would only take $1- or $2-million for key purchases, the West Carleton-March councillor said the city’s days of funding rural properties to stop development are over. “I’m here to be educated by you,” El-Chantiry said. “There’s no more funding available for rural areas.” He did say, as a snowmobiler himself, that usage arrangements are often worked out with private property owners and the city. Others said what the Friends of Huntley Highlands is doing has been done elsewhere, in particular at the Bruce Trail in the Niagara Escarpment. Over a 50 year period a group of like-minded residents created 800 kilometres of trail and now raises $10 million annually. Leblanc talked about promoting recreation destina-

Councillors step-up pressure for traffic-calming budget Some say money should come from citywide fund – not politicians’ budgets Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Some city councillors are stepping up their call for a citywide budget for traffic-calming measures after the transportation committee again decided to punt the cost to councillors’ office budgets. The decision was the latest attempt made to tackle the issue of how to cover the cost of things
like traffic humps to slow traffic, which are one of the most frequent requests councillors hear from residents. Leaving the responsibility and cost to individual councillors has politicized the issue, said RideauVanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury. Some of the 22 ward councillors have more flexibility in their budgets and less demand on their office resources, said Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans, leaving those councillors with lots of leftover cash to appease residents who want cars to slow down on their streets. “Councillors who might have more discretion in their budgets shouldn’t have more benefits than others who have more flexibility,” she said.” She has previously bemoaned why roads aren’t designed to calm traffic

they are used and a budget to do it,” Fleury said. Deans also called for a more rigorous approach to funding trafficcalming measures and evaluating their effectiveness. “Fundamentally I don’t think that constituency budgets should be used for city operations,” she said. The discussion clearly frustrated Innes Coun. Rainer Bloess, who has repeatedly said he was in favour of ward-specific traffic-calming funds that councillors would have control over. “We wouldn’t be having this debate if we followed through with what this committee originally decided, which got nixed by the mayor’s office,” Bloess said. A motion he tabled to give councillors the ability to allocate their office-budget money to trafficcalming projects in their ward sparked debate before committee members approved it on March 4. The motion would simply continue what was already in practice on a temporary basis, he said. It would only give instant approval for projects that don’t add an ongoing operational expense to the city’s books. “I’m trying to make it easier,” he said.

Traffic-calming measures like speed humps will become part of the city’s budget – instead of something city councillors pay for with their office funds – if a few councillors get their way. when they are first built. The discussion ramped up in December when the committee received a report outlining Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume’s successful traffic-calming efforts. In 2013 he spent $1,968 of his office budget, which is to be used for staff and constituency services. He spent $2,500 the year before, much of which went to electronic boards that display vehicles’ speeds. Data presented to the committee showed that motorists slowed down on the streets where measures were implemented.
Paying for the stop-gap measures is a reoccurring conversation at city council. Council discussed creating a $30,000 traffic management fund for each ward in 2012, but instead decided on a one-time citywide $2.5 million fund to address a backlog of problems. At the most recent transportation committee meeting on March councillors delved into the topic again and made it clear that a more sustainable source of funding needed to be identified in next year’s budget. “If these are working effectively, we need to have a strategy for when

Murals coming to Ottawa streets Grants available for groups that want to paint the pavement Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - The city is encouraging community groups to take paint to the pavement. The city hasn’t granted permission for murals to be painted on road surfaces in the past, but that’s changing this spring. Not only can groups get the thumbs up from city hall – they might also qualify for a $2,500 grant. The project was dreamed up by the city’s new Neighbourhood Connection office, said Andrea Flowers, who is in charge of Paint the Pavement. “It was us looking at the inspiration fun, beautiful projects that were happening elsewhere,” she said. The projects are aimed at encouraging community building, resident engagement and beautification, she said. Some believe the design also
make roads safer by slowing down motorists. The only known street painting in Ottawa before now is a pansy that residents of Pansy Avenue have painted on their street as far back as 1997. The “guerilla” project was led by City Repair Ottawa, which at the time was modeled after a Portland, Ore. group of the same name, Flowers said. The city has received interest from about a dozen communities who want to paint street murals, Flowers said. Adorning a street isn’t as easy as heading to the hardware store for a bucket of paint. The application process, which closes April 1, requires groups to jump through a number of hoops. Information can be found by searching for “Neighbourhood Connection Office” on ottawa.ca. First and foremost, the proposed location must be on a quiet residential street that doesn’t have a bus route. That means a street that sees fewer than 2,500 vehicles pass through in any given 24hour period. For that reason, Flowers suggests each community propose up to three possible streets, in case the city’s review finds that one

This example of a street mural in another city is what could be coming to Ottawa thanks to a new Paint the Pavement city grant. of the suggested roadways is too busy. The reason for limiting the paintings to calmer streets is to reduce the amount of wear and tear the murals will have to endure.
The Kanata Kourier-Standard published a series of articles on my business. Now everyone knows how great we are!
The chosen street also can’t be scheduled for any upgrades that would tear up the pave-
ment before 2015. The city is encouraging groups to work with local art-
ists to develop the designs, Flowers said, which is one of the reasons the grants were increased from $1,000 to $2,500 for each community. The proposed design can’t cause driver confusion or imply any visual narrowing of the road or a tromp d’oeil effect, Flowers said. It also can’t include any words or logos, as well as images that evoke traffic symbols, as that could cause safety concerns. Locations must be supported by the community. That includes signed letters from all of the property owners whose lots would touch the painting, as well as 66 per cent support of the neighbours living within a block of the location. A letter of support from the ward councillor is also required. That support can be demonstrated after the application period closes, but at least one month before the date of painting. Three street mural proposals will be chosen next month. Winning projects must use traffic paint for the murals, which will increase traction and reflectivity and withstand wear and tear. Groups will also have to apply for a special events permit from the city in order to close the street down for painting, Flowers said.

City staff grilled over bridge debacle Internal review of botched Airport Parkway bridge could lead to staff discipline Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - City councillors grilled staff over a damning report on the beleaguered Airport Parkway pedestrian bridge during a finance committee meeting on March 5. Council members, including River Coun. Maria McRae, whose ward contains the incomplete structure, pressed for staff to be held to account after an independent review revealed major problems with oversight and project management at city hall. But that day of reckoning day will have to wait until the city manager conducts an internal review of what went wrong. That news was delivered by city solicitor Rick O’Connor as councillors discussed an independent report into the debacle the city ordered from
File
Delays and lax oversight of the planned Airport Parkway pedestrian bridge, seen here under construction in 2011, could lead to staff discipline. SEG Consultants. “The city has to do a thorough review to see if there were obligations breached,” O’Connor said. That will entail interviewing everyone connected to the project, which is three years overdue and more than $5 million over budget. O’Connor couldn’t say how long that review might take. Any disciplinary action would be left to the city manager, Kent Kirkpatrick. The independent review led Kirk-
patrick to issue an apology at the meeting. “We apologize to council for the result or lack of result that took place,” he said, calling the issue a “major embarrassment for the city. “Management is responsible for the management of this project and the failure of this project to date.” Mayor Jim Watson also said he wants to get to learn what went wrong. “There is a lot of blame to go
around,” he said. “There is certainly a sense by my colleagues on city council that we have to get to the bottom of exactly what happened and who was responsible and at the appropriate time, when we have all the answers, that information will come ultimately to council and to the public. “We’ve got to do better for the taxpayers,” the mayor said. Deputy city manager Nancy Schepers assured council members
that some internal changes are already being made and she will personally see that happens. “I will be monitoring that in terms of ensuring we have institutionalized all of the changes,” she said. She noted that 95 per cent of infrastructure projects in Ottawa are completed on time and on budget. The main thrust of the SEG report focused on lax project management at city hall, including an eight-month delay due to “internal workload issues” with the staff on the project. That delay shrunk the construction time to four months, which city staff didn’t rethink despite being told by construction contractors that the deadline was “totally unrealistic.” “We could have fixed this before shovels went into the ground,” said Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli. McRae pressed Newell on why he hadn’t visited the high-profile construction site until after problems were identified by councillors in the fall of 2011. “This is exactly part of the culture I want Schepers to comment on,” McRae said. “I support them, the public service, (but) there are so many levels of bureaucracy in this place.” Newell said it wasn’t protocol for upper-level managers to make site visits to construction projects unless there were issues or requests for additional oversight. The bridge is currently being redesigned by a new company and is on track to be built by the new deadline of November.

News - Theo Fleury, the Calgary Flames powerhouse of the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s, visited the Algonquin Commons Theatre on March 6 to share his story of sexual assault, drug abuse, attempted suicide and deliverance hidden by an astounding NHL career. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a story he has been telling across Canada, in the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remote northern towns and major city centres alike, with the hope of bringing these dark topics out of the shadows and to show others they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t alone. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a message that echoes that of the Do It For Daron organization, begun by the Ottawa Senators family whose daughter committed suicide at age 14. Daronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, Ottawa Senators assistant coach Luke Richardson, and her mother chose to speak out about their daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death, and start DIFD to get people talking about suicide. Proceeds from Fleuryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk went to support both the Ottawa Senators Foundation and DIFD Wearing the signature purple DIFD T-shirt, Fleury began his talk with the underdog story of his upbringing with an alcoholic father and prescriptionaddicted mother, and the game that was his salvation and passion by age six. Donning worn, oversized skates, a broken stick and Sears catalogues for shin pads, Fleury attended his first hockey practice in a converted barn, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fall down, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t struggle, and I fell head over heels in love with hockey,â&#x20AC;? he recounted to the crowd. Over the next seven years, his hockey team would grow up under the tutelage of three fathers/coaches to whom Fleury still attributes his core values today. As provincial hockey cham-
pions, Fleury found scouts attending his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s games, with one taking a particular interest in him. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t long before the scout suggested Fleury move to Winnipeg to train with the Winnipeg Warriors of the Western Hockey League. Up until this point, Fleuryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story is the dream of many a young Canadian hockey player. But, when Fleury told the crowd that the decision to move to Winnipeg would change his life forever, those unfamiliar with his story would soon be shaken from their inspiring hockey reverie. Over two and a half years, that scout raped Fleury more than 150 times, he told the crowd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was completely alone.â&#x20AC;? He was 15 at the time. Fleuryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hockey career continued to flourish, battling the opinion that at five-foot-six he was too short for the NHL by steering Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s junior team to the world juniors gold medal as captain, and on to help the Flames win the Stanley Cup in his first year on the team in â&#x20AC;&#x2122;89. But behind the hockey glory, Fleury was plummeting deep into alcoholism and drug addiction, unable to handle life off the ice while believing there was no one to turn to. His NHL career over after one season with the Chicago Blackhawks in 2002-03, Fleury would continue to spend thousands of dollars to feed his cocaine addiction, and often find himself in a town or jail cell he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recognize after a night out â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or several â&#x20AC;&#x201C; while living in Mexico. Having left his family behind and with no one to help him, Fleury attempted suicide, placing the barrel of a loaded gun in his mouth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember what it sounded like rattling around on my teeth. I remember what it tasted like,â&#x20AC;? he said. But he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t
ADAM KVETON/METROLAND
Theo Fleury, a former NHL star, said he has found his â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;purpose in lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; during his speaking event at Algonquin Commons Theatre on March 6. do it. Though the suicide attempt served as a wake-up call, Fleury was no better off when he moved back to Canada, playing senior hockey in Alberta. He had rekindled his love of hockey, but his life remained in shambles. Finally, it was search for God that saved Fleury, he said. Not just a search for one God in particular, but any God, by any name â&#x20AC;&#x201C; anything greater than himself that might help him. Though a spiritual awakening goes against the macho hockey player stereotype, Fleury said the macho act is a load of garbage anyway, and that it really was an appeal to God that did it for him. It was Sept. 18, 2005. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had a drink or drug since that day,â&#x20AC;? said Fleury, to applause from the crowd. Still, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until 2009 that Fleury revealed in his book, Playing with Fire, that he had been sexually abused by Graham James. But that too was a revelation, he said.

his book would have, Fleury did his first book signing in Toronto. Borrowing a book from someone in the Algonquin crowd, Fleury demonstrated how one man in line at the book signing was walking, clutching Fleuryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book to his chest, head held low, waiting to speak to Fleury. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He looked me right in the eye and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Me too,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? recounted Fleury. This is the benefit of speaking up, said Fleury: the knowledge that you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t alone. Fleury said his book has prompted thousands of people to reveal to him their pain and abuse, and that continuing to share his story and help people has become his lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always thought that I was just going to be a hockey player, but man have I found my purpose in life,â&#x20AC;? said Fleury. After sharing stories from his last few years as a speaker, and continuing his search into spirituality, Fleury ended his talk to a standing ovation from the crowd.

By attending, you’ll work together with City staff to develop the best solutions to address traffic concerns of the community. Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa.

SERVING KANATA NORTH
City Councillor, Kanata North VOLUNTEER RECOGNITION – Do you know someone in Kanata North (a resident, employee or student) doing volunteer work that supports our community? Consider nominating them for a Kanata North Community Recognition Award. Nominations are being accepted in four categories: Youth (to age 19), Senior (65+), Adult (20-64) and Organization (e.g. employees in a business doing charitable undertakings or a group providing service to youth or adults). Forms are available through my office, at the library, and at the Richcraft Recreation Complex Kanata (RRCK) and are due by April 4th. KNUDSON DRIVE AREA TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT STUDY – Public meeting, Monday, March 24th, MInto Room, RRCK, 6:30 pm, to report on the traffic management study being undertaken by the City of Ottawa and to review ideas that could reduce speeding on Knudson Drive. This discussion will also be of interest to residents from streets other than Knudson who have experienced excessive speeding on their street. POTHOLES – This year there has been a huge number of potholes on almost every street and highway. City staff are dealing with them as quickly as possible, but often traffic on the road will pop them open again shortly after the repair. Potholes are caused by winter thawing and freezing and are particularly bad on roads with a poor road base such as the Goulbourn Forced Road. SELECTIVE TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM (STEP) – During March and April police will focus on distracted driving, unsafe lane changes, school zone safety and cycling safety. The Ottawa and Gatineau Police will both be holding blitzes on these issues as a means of highlighting the need for safer roads for vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians. MARCH TOWN HALL MEETING – Hold the date, Tues. March 25th, 7 pm, for this meeting at the RRCK to hear about new developments in our community and offer your suggestions for improvements. The agenda will include information about a presentation to the City Heritage Committee in April on designating Beaverbrook as a Heritage Community. CROWDED POOL – Last week I wrote about the problems in restoring the Goulbourn Pool. The Kanata Leisure Centre is also closing for safety upgrades, so the RRCK will be the only pool open west of the Greenbelt. Swim classes have filled rapidly, and public swim times are limited due to demand. I’m so glad this one great centre is open. Parking is stretched due to the high usage. You can park on Innovation for 3 hours, and the City is negotiating with Blackberry about using their parking lot for overflow parking needs. LIBRARY TOUR – The Library Board and staff had a tour of the new library last week. It is going to be a great facility with lots of light, space for reference materials, a huge children’s area, a teen zone, a Kanata Room for archives, plenty of seating and study areas, great space for staff and a large meeting room that can be divided into two and will be accessible even when the library is closed. The opening is scheduled for August. INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY –Thank you to all who attended my IWD breakfast last week. With a last minute cancellation by the Minister, we were able to replace her with a presentation and Q & A with some of the terrific young women in the Head Start program that I am doing in Ottawa for the Federation of Canadian Municipalities.

News - The fifth annual coffeehouse at Huntley Centennial saw a packed audience learn about the rich arts and culture of India while raising money for a school there. Held March 5, the more than 100 intermediate students put on a show exploring all aspects of the world’s largest democracy, along with educating the audience in ways to break the cycle of poverty. Over $1,000 was raised to build a school in Rajasthan, India. Teacher Marg Graff explained that students are part of the world and just as capable of creating change as world leaders and celebrities. “It’s about using the arts to promote and create change in our communities,” Graff said. “This is their world. (The Rajasthan school) is something they have identified, they believe in, and they are making happen.” The evening featured talented students who performed musical acts and gave passionate speeches. There were opportunities to purchase baked goods, fair trade coffee, tea and hot chocolate, and a sample plate from countries around the world. A silent auction and world market were also involved. DEREK DUNN/METROLAND Guests had their pictures taken at the Bollywood Photo Booth, played Although the show featured arts and foods from around the world, it also included some a game that originated in India, added homegrown favourites at the table run by Kaitlyn Crawford and Josh Dillon. their mark to our community rangoli and mosaic art, and visited information booths to see the difference Huntley Centennial is making in the world.

Coyotes thrive where no one wants them
COYOTE ISSUE WAS start OF WILDLIFE STRATEGY
The animal’s success in just about every environment it has chosen has been a major cause for concern among Ottawa’s rural residents, beginning about 10 years ago, said Thompson. Pressure from farmers who were losing livestock, as well as other residents disturbed by the coyotes’ growing presence had Thompson pushing city council and the province for a solution. Highlighting a hole in the city’s ability to deal with wildlife, Thompson said he believes the coyote issue is what sparked Ottawa’s new wildlife strategy which, among other things, suggested the wildlife speakers series. So it’s no surprise a coyote expert was the first to make a presentation, said Thompson. “Some of the information (Gehrt) presented about the coyotes was really quite startling and very interesting,” said Thompson. Despite having to deal with coyote issues on a regular basis, Thompson said that when problems started, he didn’t have much to go on. The push for a coyote cull was more or less the only response he could come up with at the time, he said. Now, Thompson views education – and bringing in experts like Thompson – as perhaps the best way to deal with wildlife problems going forward. “I really think that we do have to work with educating people,” he said, adding that he and residents are all better educated about coyotes now than they were.

Coyote expert Stan Gehrt holds the first coyote he caught for his urban coyote study 14 years ago. The animal grew quite intelligent, said Gehrt, resulting in a wrestling match to finally recapture her years later. Though she got Gehrt’s glove, he succeeded in controlling her with a bit of duct tape. Though lethal removal of coyotes may still be the only solution when it comes to diseased or rabid animals, he said that overall, he has a much softer touch when it comes to dealing with wildlife. “I think we are far better equipped and educated now than we were and I think that it’s only going to improve as we go forward.” Despite all the problems the coyote question has caused for
Thompson, he found himself more amazed than worried by the information Gehrt had to share. “They are almost humanistic,” said Thompson of coyotes after the talk. Considering how ardently the animals stay with their mates, and how intelligently they deal with living in cities – like looking both ways before crossing the street and even using crosswalks – it might be hard not to see them in a different light.

News - While coyotes have gained a reputation as a nuisance or even a cause for alarm in some parts of Ottawa, community members gained a new perspective on the crafty animal during the city’s first wildlife speaker series event on Feb. 28. Urban coyote expert Stan Gehrt of Ohio State University made a presentation to a packed room at Centrepointe Theatre – a bigger turnout than he expected for a Friday night. But then, coyotes have been a concern for Ottawa residents for nearly a decade, with talk of packs of coyotes roaming streets in broad daylight in some rural areas several years ago. Doug Thompson, councillor for Osgoode ward, found himself defending a coyote hunt contest in his ward to help deal with the situation in 2010, and suggested that a cull may be the ultimate solution. But he and other members of the Ottawa community were treated to a different perspective on the animal. Far from just being a nuisance, their ability to live where people don’t want them is amazing, said Gehrt. Over the past 14 years, Gehrt has conducted research into urban coyotes in greater Chicago, describing how the animals are adapting to live just about anywhere. There are more coyotes in North America than ever before, said Gehrt, as the animal is not native to Canada or much of the United States. In fact, coyotes are the only mammalian carnivore to double its range in recent history. With the largest brain to body mass ratio in the canidae family, and a body weight averaging about 18 kilograms allowing them to survive on smaller prey than their wolf cousins, coyotes are managing to exploit just about any environment available to them, said Gehrt. By now, the only new territory left to exploit is urban land. But not only are they exploiting it, they are thriving there, he said. Gehrt began his research in Chicago, doubting there would be enough coyotes to conduct a convincing study. Fourteen years later his team has trapped 749 coyotes and put electronic collars on 395. This has allowed Gehrt to track movements over much of the animals’ lifetimes,

see how they reproduce, how large their territories are, and how they interact with urban and suburban environments. Among many other things, Gehrt has found that coyotes live in very well defined territories, and smaller urban areas than in rural environments. On average, he said there is less than one coyote per two square kilometres in rural areas, and four to five coyotes per square kilometre in urban and suburban areas. This is because they are finding all the food they need in those smaller territories. And that’s not as dependant on trash and pets as you might think. By literally digging into coyote feces (generally a job given to grad students), even urban coyotes’ diets have been found to be mostly rodents, rabbits and other small animals, with very little human food and pet remains found. Though Gehrt said this doesn’t describe the animal’s entire diet, it gives a good indication of the kinds of things they tend to eat.

City looking at letting churches offer refuge for homeless ‘Out of the Cold’ temporary shelter program being studied
der a bridge. Over the past year, 35 to 40 of those youth have had a warm bed to sleep in – at least on Fridays. If youth stay with Restoring Hope more than once, they tend to keep coming for about two months, Pino said. Over that time, he can see a profound change in many of them. “We call ourselves Restoring Hope – the idea being that if you don’t have hope, you stop caring about yourself and you stop caring about the situations you put yourself in,” Pino said. “We reinforce to them they are worth the effort, they are worth taking care of and they are important.” Neighbouring businesses were “leery” at first, Pino said, but the ministry has not received any reports of criminal activity or complaints. “They gave us a chance … Now they see that it can work,” he said.

News - Ottawa’s places of worship could soon become sanctuaries for the homeless. The city is looking at allowing churches, synagogues and other places of worship to operate temporary shelters and provide meals and overnight shelter for people who don’t have anywhere else to spend the night. In Toronto and other Canadian cities, it’s known as Out of the Cold – a rotating series of temporary shelters offered by groups who co-ordinate the use of space in places of worship. Now, Ottawa is looking at allowing something similar in its zoning bylaw. There are 116 places of worship in the city’s urban area and the study will look at different zoning schemes for allowing them to operate temporary overnight shelters. The program is badly needed in Ottawa, especially for youth, said Jason Pino, director of Restoring Hope Ministries.
CITY STUDY Submitted
A year ago, the city provided Restoring Hope Ministries with a temporary exemption to allow it to operate this shelter at Centretown’s First Baptist Church once a week. Now Ottawa is looking at changing bylaws to allow other places of worship to do the same. The group has quietly been offering a small, six-bed overnight shelter for youth in the basement of the First Baptist Church in Centretown for more than a year. After getting a one-year exemp-
tion from the city, Restoring Hope recently got the OK to make the once-a-week shelter permanent and expand to 10 beds, Pino said. He was working as a youth outreach worker when he had the idea to

start up the shelter. “I would be connecting with these kids and they wouldn’t have a place to sleep for the night,” Pino said. There are two youth shelters in Ottawa – one for men and one for women – and they’re constantly full, Pino said. He would ask youth where they planned to spend the night. If they couldn’t crash on a friend’s couch, they’d make their way to a parking garage, some bushes in a park or un-
Beth Desmarais is the city planner charged with studying whether it can work on a broader basis in other places of worship. She said staff felt the Restoring Hope program was a good idea and wanted to study whether it should be expanded. “If we’re going to allow it in one church basement, why not come out with any regulation to allow it in any church?” Desmarais said. “You may as well not do it as a band-aid approach.” A consultant has been contacting local churches while gathering background research for the study, and “more and more” places of worship are approaching the city to express their interest in offering the service after they find out about it, Desmarais said. Ottawa hasn’t yet drafted a strategy for how the program would work here. The study will look at parameters including a cap on the number of beds and how to ensure the shelters operate on a temporary or occasional basis – not every night, Desmarais said. Pino said his program is fortunate because there are no residences near the church at Elgin Street and Laurier Avenue and most of the office-worker oriented businesses are closed by the time the shelter opens at 9 p.m. on Fridays. But places of worship in other areas might face different circumstances and challenges, he said. The planning committee is expected to review Desmarais’ forthcoming recommendation on April 8. Members of the public can submit comments to elizabeth.desmarais@ ottawa.ca. If the planning committee and city council were to adopt any changes, Desmarais said it would then be up to volunteer groups and congregations to set up a program to offer the shelters on a rotating basis in a number of places of worship. Restoring Hope Ministries is looking for volunteers willing to staff the overnight shelter and connect and support youth. Visit restoringhope.ca for information.

Residents surprised at change in plans for Greenbank extension
ROUNDABOUTS AND NEW SIGNAL
Many of the approximately 80 residents at the meeting were there to express support for an interim safety measure: adding a traffic signal at the T-intersection of Bankfield and 1st Line Road, Harder said. The traffic light will be coming soon, said Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt. But Manotick resident Bruce Willems worried the traffic signal, which would cost up to $150,000, would take money and focus away from the main projects to build the two roundabouts at Prince of Wales.
One roundabout would be a twolane, four-leg roundabout connecting Bankfield and Prince of Wales. A second roundabout further south would connect a new offshoot of 1st Line Road to Prince of Wales. Those two intersections were added to the scope of the study last year after Moffatt pushed to have the process consider related traffic issues in the area. The Manotick Village and Community Association is in strong support of the roundabouts and originally suggested the idea as a way to improve north-south traffic flow by making it continuous instead of having to stop at lights, Willems said. In the shorter term, before the main construction expected in 2031, improvements are also coming to the intersections at Prince of Wales Drive at Merivale and Woodroffe roads.

News - Some residents were outraged that developers’ influence changed the final recommendation for the alignment of Greenbank Road’s extension to the south, but councillors say the plan makes more sense in the bigger picture. Consultants from MMM Group working on where to place the extended section of Greenbank and the southwest Transitway suggested last fall that one of three curved options that sloped from south of Dundonald Road to Barnsdale Road would be the final choice. But at a meeting on March 4, consultants revealed the final recommendation is a straight alignment that cuts directly south through the urban expansion area. The road isn’t expected to be built until around 2031 and about 25,000 additional homes will be built in the area at that time, said Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder. That straight alignment makes more sense for a number of reasons, said Peter Steacy, the MMM Group consultant, but the main consideration in changing the plan was input

to achieve the density of homes the city is pushing for. Although Steacy said the data on the development impact was available, he and city staff did not provide it by this newspaper’s deadline. Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder said she was shocked at how little the plans considered a reduction in development potential before she got involved last fall. “The people that were engaged in the process wasn’t the larger community, it was a part of the community, Harder said. “How ridiculous is that? … not including any of the information we know about where the growth is going to happen.” Viewbank Road residents like Patrick Plue worried the straight alignment would provide opportunities for motorists to use their street as a cut-through if Greenbank traffic is backed up. Harder said drivers who wanted to do that would be inconvenienced by having to make a number of turns, including a left turn, in order to do that and dismissed the concerns as less important than the big picture. She said it would be “foolish” to make a decision based solely on the concerns of Viewbank residents, adding that traffic-calming measures could alleviate the residents’ concerns. If residents wanted to pursue that, Harder said, options could include closing one end of Viewbank, allowing only right turns in or out from the road or restricting access to certain hours. The recommendation for a straight

from developers and the city’s planning department, which weighed in on the impact a curved Greenbank would have on development opportunities in the area. “There were real concerns brought forward by the developers on the implications of any of these (curved) alignments on … the pattern of development that the city was promoting, or in fact requesting and requiring of its developers to implement,” Steacy said. The curved road plan would be at odds with the grid pattern city planners want to see in new suburban developments, Steacy said. He said the alignment would also have left developers with many irregularly shaped lots. “It’s very difficult to build on a triangular parcel compared to a rectangular parcel,” he said. It would also complicate local transportation in the future communities around Greenbank because transportation planners must limit the number of intersections on curves because they can be more dangerous. Jack Stirling, president of Minto Homes, which plans to develop land in the area, said he understands the difficulty in balancing the concerns of current residents with plans for future homes, but he said he didn’t feel that developers had any more of a say than other stakeholders. Although developers had been at the table all along, Steacy said that in the fall, builders and city planners were able to provide quantifications of how the curved alignment would negatively affect developers’ ability

Sports - Returning to his old high school wasn’t a big deal for Chad Bush, who has regularly trained at Louis Riel this past year. But Feb. 28 was the first day he got to come back as a professional player, on an official visit with the Ottawa Fury FC to the school. Bush attended Louis Riel for grades 9 and 10 and took part in their special sport study program. “I saw him come in with a big smile and I’m like, ‘This is what it’s all about’, said Joé Fournier, the athletic director at Louis Riel. It s nice for me, but it s nicer for our kids. When we put this program together nine years ago, it was exactly for that: so players like Chad can go on and live their dreams. Several Fury FC players, along with head coach Marc Dos Santos, spoke with the school’s sport study soccer players and did a hands on training clinic. Haydn Bechthold, a Grade 10 student, said he was enjoying the clinic, and knew who several of the players were from playing the FIFA soccer video game, where they are characters. He was also excited to see Bush, who he had played soccer with before at Louis Riel, get signed.

Two Fury FC players also did a different elementary school visit early in the day on Feb. 28. Both Marcel DeBellis and Andres Fresenga spoke at Henry Larsen Elementary School. Students heard about what exactly the Fury team is, and learned cheers for going to any soccer games. DeBellis told the children that he’d been playing soccer since he was about 4-years-old, even younger than the students he was talking to were. “We didn’t have the opportunity kids have now, where there are five Canadian professional teams,” DeBellis said. “We had to cheer for German teams, British teams.” Both DeBellis and Fresenga moved away from home as teenagers to pursue their soccer dreams, and told the kids that it took a lot of hard work – “and listening to your parents”,
Fresenga said. A couple volunteers took part in some soccer demonstrations about teamwork alongside the players. “I loved it,” said Abigail Morgan, 7, who took part in the demonstration. “We learned about the soccer people, and we learned how to get a goal with other people.” DeBellis said getting the kids excited about Fury soccer will hopefully help attendance in the team’s inaugural season. Each of the kids took home an autographed schedule by the two Fury players. “Stuff like this helps,” he said. “To get them excited and go home and talk to their parents about it.” The Fury FC professional team kicks off with their first home game against Minnesota United FC on April 19 at Carleton University. They switch over to TD Place at Lansdowne Park on July 20 versus the New York Cosmos.

News - When the Great Fire of 1870 swept through the Ottawa Valley, people took refuge anywhere they could. One family in Fitzroy Township saw the fire coming and climbed down their well where they spent three days hiding from the all-encompassing heat and raging flames. “They had carefully saved this magnificent grove of huge hardwood trees around the house for shelter in the winter, shade in the summer,” said local historian Terry Currie. “And when those big hardwood trees burned in the Great Fire of 1870 – the family saw the fire coming so they went down the well. They put a ladder down the well and climbed down the ladder and they covered the top of the well with wet dirt so they wouldn’t be burned. “They tried to come out after a day and those enormous hardwood trees had fallen and were burning all around. And they said they couldn’t come out for three days because there was so much heat from those
enormous trees burning.” Currie is a fount of stories and information on the catastrophic event, having authored The Ottawa Valley’s Great Fire of 1870. He will host a presentation on his book on Tuesday, March 18 at 7:30 p.m., with the Huntley Township Historical Society at the Carp Memorial Hall. “I’ve got information from several residents of the Carp area pertaining to the Great Fire that I learned after I published the book,” said Currie. “I’m bringing that into my description of the experience of the village of Carp as the Great Fire went thundering through.” Currie grew up with stories about the Great Fire as a child. And although accounts of the long-lasting inferno were in local history books, there was no full account of what happened, he said. “I was intrigued. What actually happened? I knew it was something really big,” said Currie, whose own house in Panmure bears the marks of the inferno. The beams in his cellar, taken from the remains
of the trees still standing and used to rebuild, are charred and black with soot from the Great Fire. “In Arnprior, they said it only burned from Pakenham to Fiztroy Harbour. That’s what they saw from Arnprior, that’s what they could see,” said Currie. “They had a telegraph but the Great Fire burned the telegraphs the first day. So they had no outside connection.” When he went back to school to get his masters in history after retiring in 2002, he decided to write his thesis on the local event. It took him two years to pull the whole thing together. “The thing that intrigued me was the Great Fire of 1870 because it was an event that every country person has heard of but nobody could tell you exactly what it was; so I set out to find out,” said Currie. “The reason I was able to solve the riddle of the Great Fire of 1870 was that I was able to sew all the little local histories of the Great Fire together by using a source that nobody else had used – and that source was the local newspapers. I learned about the Great Fire of 1870 from the Ottawa Times, the Almonte Gazette and the Perth Courier. The fire started when workers on the Central Canada

Local historian Terry Currie will give a presentation on his book ‘The Ottawa Valley’s Great Fire of 1870’ on Tuesday, March 18, with the Huntley Township Historical Society at 7:30 p.m. at the Carp Memorial Hall. Railway line near Blakeney – between Almonte and Pakenham – began burning excess brush. The wind picked up and blew the fire, spreading it
through the area. By midmorning, the inferno had ravaged the area from Pakenham to Arnprior. In downtown Ottawa, the docks were opened to fill the
streets with water in an attempt to keep the flames at bay. “I found out it was a gigantic catastrophe that burned virtually the whole of Carleton County except for downtown Ottawa. It burned Lanark county, except for downtown Smiths Falls, and it burned most of Hull, and it burned down to Wakefield. It burned down past Buckingham, it burned down to Cumberland, it burned way out to Westport. It burned for six weeks. It destroyed 13,000 farms and it killed 13 human beings. It was an enormous fire in a hurricane,” said Currie. “The fire was travelling as fast as a man could run … It burned Lansdowne Park before it was Lansdowne Park. It burned Bells Corners and it burned Stittsville.” Since writing his thesis, which turned into his first book, Currie has spoken to almost every historical society in Ottawa and the Valley. A former history teacher at Almonte District High School, Currie has always enjoyed talking about the past. “It teaches us who we are,” he said. “The real world is so rich and interesting.” Currie’s presentation will take place on March 18 at 7:30 p.m. at the Carp Memorial Hall, located at 3739 Carp Rd. Light refreshments will be served and everyone is welcome. For more information, contact Suzanne at 613-839-5203.
