News - Kanata residents had their first look at options for dealing with speeding

on Knudson Drive during a public meeting on March 24.

City staff recommended speed cushions: a particular kind of road hump that’s never before been used in the city on a permanent basis.

Staff presented the findings of their Knudson Drive area traffic study, which looked at options to reduce speeding on the street.

Those who live on the street say drivers

routinely travel 60 kilometres per hour or more along Knudson, which is a 40 km/h zone. The street is winding and somewhat hilly with no cross streets, meaning regular ways of calming traffic, like four way stops, are not in use.

“We are faced with living on a race track,” said one Knudson resident at the meeting.

Roger’s House run fundraisers merge Walk, Roll & Run, Barrhaven Run become one event

participation numbers with competitive runners coming in from all over Ottawa, as well as Montreal, Toronto, and even the U.S. “It was two events happening within the same month, both sort of running-walking events,” said John Baizana, co-founder of the Barrhaven Run. “We thought, ‘Why not join forces and have one larger scale event?’ If we can bring our 1,400 participants and their 900 participants together, it’s a win for Roger’s House.”

Last year’s 10th-annual Walk, Roll & Run raised $101,000, while the sixth-annual Barrhaven Run brought in $27,000.

Together, they hope to raise even more.

“The run keeps growing every year,” said Baizana.

This year’s event features an improved date to work around Father’s Day, and well as better course and race routes.

The Barrhaven Run for Roger’s House will be held Saturday, June 7, at Mother Theresa High School, and will feature timed 10- and five-kilometre races, as well as a 2.5-kilometre family route and a 100-metre tot-trot.

The Ottawa Senators Foundation has announced the merger of the Walk, Roll & Run for Roger’s House and the Barrhaven Run for Roger’s House.

The events, held two weeks apart in June, raise funds for the pediatric palliative and respite care facility.

“It is really exciting,” said Brad Weir, director of communications for the Sens Foundation. “We hope to make it a huge success.”

The two fundraisers boast different strengths, said Weir. The Walk, Roll & Run, which has taken place at the Canadian Tire Centre in the past, has an enthusiastic group of fundraisers while the Barrhaven event has high

Boy injured attempting to extinguish garage fire Fire causes estimated $1 million in damages to Carp home

Cash in on a TFSA The Tax-Free Savings Account has been called the most important savings option since the 1950s launch of Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs).

Here’s how a TFSA works: Every Canadian over the age of 18 is eligible to save at least $5,500 a year in a TFSA and the investments held within the TFSA grow on a taxfree basis.

TFSA withdrawals can be made at any time for any reason – and the withdrawn money is tax-free.

The amount you can contribute in a given year is defined by the following formula: Maximum contribution equals TFSA dollar limit for the year plus TFSA withdrawals from last year plus unused TFSA room from last year The TFSA dollar limit has been $5,000 in each of 2009-2012 and is $5,500 for 2013 but is subject to indexation.

Thus, if you had to make a TFSA withdrawal last year, your TFSA room this year will be restored to reflect that withdrawal.

Furthermore, all the contribution room you don’t use right away accumulates year after year so you can use it any time you choose.

Contributions to investments held in a TFSA do not affect RRSP contribution room.

TFSA-eligible investments are the same as those available for investments held within RRSPs, including mutual funds and money market funds, Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GICs), publicly traded securities, and government and corporate bonds.

Speed cushions least expensive option

A poster shows the average results of various speed studies along Knudson Drive, taking place from 2011 to 2013. Only about two per cent of motorists follow the posted speed limit of 40 kilometres per hour.

Continued from page 1

Open House

Energy East Pipeline

AB QC

SK

Hardisty

MB ON

PE

Cacouna NB

The city’s area traffic management co-ordinator, Wook Kang, presented the results of the study to about 30 community members in attendance at the meeting, and included two speed-cutting options.

The first and less expensive option is to install 11 speed cushions at approximately 125-metre intervals along Knudson. This option would provide the greatest speed reduction, said Kang, showing that the temporary use of speed cushions on Equestrian Drive in Bridlewood slowed traffic nearly 50 per cent for the slowest 85 per cent of drivers.

Speed cushions are very gradual speed humps that can be traveled over at 40 km/h without damaging a vehicle.

They also include spaces through them to allow emergency vehicles to pass at greater speeds.

Kang estimated that highend speeders would be “almost eliminated.”

This option would cost about

$100,000, he said, while the second option, which includes narrowing Knudson at strategic places and installing raised sidewalks, would cost about four times as much.

Fifteen accidents were reported on Knudson Drive between 2010 and 2012, one of them involving a person on a bicycle.

However, $100,000 was not an acceptable price tag for one Kanata resident who said he doesn’t see any problem on Knudson.

As part of the study, Kang pointed out that 15 accidents were reported on Knudson between 2010 and 2012, one of them involving a person on a bicycle. However, the number isn’t high enough to warrant

spending taxpayer money, said the man who refused to give his name.

“All I see is a few accidents over a few years; most of them minor,” he said. “What is the benefit to the taxpayer?”

Others at the meeting disagreed, saying they can’t cross the street without worrying about being hit by a car.

Either way, Knudson has the city’s attention, said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. “Staff has recognized that there is a problem,” she said.

In response to questions on the cost of the speed cushions, Wilkinson said, “You have to take a look at what is the overall best benefit for the whole community, and the best benefit for the whole community is one that makes people feel safe.”

This was the last public meeting before staff makes a recommendation to council, said Wilkinson.

While there is no room in the budget to have the measures installed this year, Wilkinson said, “I think there is a very good chance for next year.”

News - The South March Highlands will be rocking next month with geo-enthusiasts, families, teachers, nature-lovers and those who want to learn more about the unique one-billion-year-old geoheritage that can be found around Ottawa.

Geoheritage Ottawa is hosting a ‘South March Highlands and Carp Hills Geoheritage Event – One Billion Years in One Day’, a free public awareness event detailing the geology that can be found in the Kanata and Carp area, on Sunday, April 27.

An interactive presentation is up first with Dr. Allan Donaldson before the group then ventures out on a field trip to the surrounding area.

“I haven’t met anyone who wasn’t excited after learning a few things,” said geologist Ann Timmermans, a Carp resident. “So many people

found one of the largest fossils of bacteria that are responsible for producing oxygen after a tip came in from the public.

“We have discovered more and more every year through public awareness of the geology,” Timmermans said.

“There is still so much to discover in the rocks around Ottawa.”

People are asked to register for the event ahead of time at eventbrite.com by searching for the event name ‘South March Highlands and Carp Hills Geoheritage Event – One Billion Years in One Day’.

have rocks in their backyard or their school yard or on the way to work and didn’t really know what that rock meant to our geologic history. Then, when they did, it’s exciting.”

Timmermans said the event is open to anyone who is interested in learning about the geoheritage of the city and understanding more about the foundation on which Ottawa is built.

“As someone would appreciate a historical building, as someone would appreciate a beautiful forest, we should also appreciate the geology around us because it’s so unique and so beautiful,” she said. “We can also learn about these features, preserve these features, be excited about them, and that just makes our city a better place.”

The South March Highlands is full of interesting rock and minerals, from fossils to garnets. Fault lines and striations are plentiful and tell the history of the area.

“There are so many wonderful features,” said Timmermans. “Hopefully people will start seeing the rocks with new eyes.”

For the greater good

D

espite individual concerns people might have, Ottawa residents should support efforts by all levels of government to safeguard our public health.

Two recent occurrences have raised important questions about how far our governments should go to ensure public health is safeguarded.

The first involved a recent confirmed case of measles, announced earlier this month by Ottawa Public Health, that was identified in an unimmunized child who attends a school in Stittsville. The student contracted the disease while visiting the Philippines. Once a common disease, measles have been effectively eliminated in the Americas thanks to a thorough, widespread campaign of immunization.

Yet in recent years, some parents have chosen not to have their children vaccinated for a variety of common diseases such as measles and chicken pox.

It takes only one child travelling to a country where widespread immunization was not conducted to contract a disease like measles, bring it back to Canada and infect others who have not been vaccinated – especially young children, who are the most vulnerable. Despite widespread immunization, 122,000 people died worldwide from measles in 2012, according to the World Health Organization.

The other concern raised in Ottawa recently involved water fluoridation. The city’s board of health voted to support a campaign by the Simcoe Muskoka board of health calling on the province to take over responsibility for municipal water fluoridation. This comes as a response to votes in several towns in that region to halt the fluoridation of water, bowing to public pressure. An overwhelming amount of research shows fluoride-treated water contributes significantly to dental health, but some remain skeptical.

On both of these issues, both health officials and elected representatives at all levels deserve our absolute support to ensure the wider public good is safeguarded. Vaccination is a proven, effective method of controlling disease. Despite what individuals might think about the practice, it is not a matter of respecting a person’s right to choose, it’s about respecting those who might not have a choice in the matter.

Only when vaccination is nearly universal is it at its most effective. As for fluoridation, the small amounts of the substance used in our water pose an insignificant threat to human beings, but provide a significant aid to every person’s well-being.

There are instances when individual interests trump those of the collective. Public health should not be one of them.

It could be worse than our never-ending winter

T

his is a city of mixed signals, and never more so than at the beginning of spring, or what passes for spring in these parts.

There’s the problem right there. The official arrival of spring this year coincided with a freezing rain warning. Two days before spring arrived last year, the temperature was 24 C. That’s plus 24 degrees.

As I write this, the temperature is barely above zero, scheduled to go back below. The prediction is that it will still be below zero when you read this. And April is approaching.

Last year you had played your first golf game already.

Everybody this year says the winter is getting to them. It’s unrelenting, they say. It’s way too long. It’s never been this long. Maybe that’s just because everybody you talk to is older than they used to be. But it’s true. This winter is relentless. People who are usually too proud to go south in the winter – because they think of themselves as tough Canadians – went south this winter. “At least it will be warmer when we come back,� they thought. It wasn’t.

As I write this, there is talk again of baseball in Ottawa, new hopes that the Can-Am League

Various events are being advertised – spring flings, spring this and spring that. Auto dealers are sending about invitations to spring tuneups, along which will go the removal snow tires. Should we, or shouldn’t we?

And yet, here’s another mixed signal. We don’t have it all that bad. People suffered a lot less in our winter than in many other places.

We haven’t had much in the way of freezing rain – at least, not compared with, say, Toronto.

have floods. We don’t have earthquakes – at least, not bad ones. We don’t have -50 C. We don’t have houses buried in snow. We don’t have alligators, hardly any bears, no sharks and no poisonous snakes. As climate goes, Ottawa lives a life of moderation – perhaps not unexpected, given our reputation for blandness.

Yet people have had enough. What’s up this year? Are we being babies? What happened to Canadian toughness?

As if to needle us on this point, local media from time to time locate and interview people who just love this winter and can’t get enough of it. We admire them, envy them and wish people would stop interviewing them.

You expect there to be theories about our weather and there are. You are familiar with the quite persuasive studies on the effects of climate change. Climate change is not just about global warming; it is also about extreme weather and the potential for more of it.

Then there are the more specific explanations – high pressures, low pressures, the Gulf Stream, the Alberta Clipper, the dreaded Polar Vortex and whatnot. These provide amusement and comfort to some people.

I like a more theological approach. Ottawa is being both punished and rewarded by its

weather, a mixed signal. We don’t get to have balmy temperatures all year. We don’t get beaches and golf courses you can play in January. So we are rewarded by an absence of tidal waves, deadly snakes, crocodiles and sand all over everything.

Conversely, our punishment for not having to cope with such dangers is to be cold for at least five months of the year.

But not that cold. Not as cold as Alberta, for example. And for that, we get no oil.

See, it all balances out. This probably makes you feel a lot better, as you head out to see if the hardware store has any more salt.

Will doorknobs go the way of the dodo?

I

’m a big supporter of policies that support accessibility. Not that long ago, I wrote about Ottawa’s short-sighted development plans – allowing developers to build stacked townhomes and vertical duplexes instead of the, yes, lower density, but more accessible horizontal duplexes.

But what happens when cities and provinces start legislating against doorknobs in private homes?

Seriously? Well, yes.

Vancouver, always enjoying a leadership position on progressive issues, has altered its building code to legislate that doorknobs are no longer allowed in new home construction. The law came into effect in March.

No one could argue that legislating easier-to-use levered doors makes sense for public buildings, maybe even multi-unit dwellings, but private homes?

Halifax, kind of the underling when it comes to

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse innovation and progressive policy, wants to follow suit.

Halifax doesn’t have control over its own building code, which is under provincial jurisdiction. But city councillors will make the case to the province to ban doorknobs in favour of levers, just as Vancouver has done.

No doubt, in time, other provinces will follow suit.

Will that mean the death of the doorknob?

Proponents argue that levers are more popular than doorknobs anyway – a likeable trend.

But I, for one, am happy with my 1950s split-level

and the sticky doors and doorknobs that go along with it.

On principle, I think the whole thing is ridiculous.

Levers are more expensive than knobs, typically, which will add to the cost of new homes, something that petty building codes changes often do.

“A 2002 report from the Montreal Economic Institute estimated that unnecessary building codes had doubled the cost of new houses in Quebec over the previous 20 years,” wrote Jesse Kline in the National Post last fall.

Kline went onto argue that, while levers are helpful

Spring in full swing for Kanata artists Tyler Follett tyler.follett@metroland.com

Arts - The Kanata Civic Art Gallery has a new exhibit called City Scapes on display.

The exhibit offers many different takes on landscapes in the city by members of the gallery.

It is a loose genre, to avoid limiting an artist’s creativity.

City Scapes has a lot of variety to the pieces, with paintings on different kinds of canvases and sizes, sculptures, with some pieces even incorporating both.

Every month the gallery has a new theme and members of the gallery meet ahead of time to brainstorm ideas.

Wendy Russell was the member who had the idea for City Scapes, and she submitted a unique piece as part of the show. “We all had input in what shows would be throughout the year and I came up with this one,� said Russell. “You can put anything you want in the shows but generally we try to get something close to the theme.�

For City Scapes Russell originally planned to submit paintings of Halifax, until a last second idea gave her a change of heart. “I decided to do something outside of the box with my piece by doing it on a wooden canvas, staining it, then acrylic paint and additional wood,� she said. “It’s a twist on my nor-

FEATURED ARTIST

Each month the gallery has a featured artist, who gets their work displayed prominently.

This month’s featured artist is a member of the gallery who recent died after a three-year battle with cancer.

Brian Gallup was a valued member of the gallery and strong artist with his own style, becoming known for his personality and for painting from memory.

He left behind a collection of light and vibrant works, as well as memories of his willingness to help young artists with the Young at Art program. “He was such a valued member of our gallery. He did so much for so many people, especially young artists,� said Russell. “We wanted to honour him by showing his paintings in the front of the gallery.�

As well as displaying them, the gallery has announced the creation of the Brian Gallup Bursary Fund.

The bursary will be awarded to a Young at Art student that is going on to study post-secondary visual arts.

Thousands of musicians to compete at music festival Kiwanis event takes place March 31 to May 3 Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

Arts - Ottawa is preparing for the 69th edition of Ontario’s second-largest music festival this April.

The history of the Kiwanis Music Festival stems back to 1945, where it started as a three-day competition for young classical musicians.

Now, the festival has grown to span five weeks, with various performances taking place throughout the city.

The competition includes classical instrument categories as well as band, choir and musical theatre competitions.

This year, the festival has received more than 3,000 entries with thousands of young musicians from the Ottawa area and beyond participating, said Kim Chadsey, the festival’s director of development.

“Montreal doesn’t have a festival like this, so (Montreal musicians) will compete in ours,” she said. “We get kids from as far away as Pembroke, Hawkesbury, Brockville and Cornwall, but most are from the Ottawa and Gatineau area.”

In the last few years, the competition has become known as a starting point for some of Canada’s next great musicians, with 2012 being a red-letter year for the festival.

Three Kiwanis Music Festival award winners went on to compete nationally and place in the top three for their respective categories. Suren Barry placed first in open piano, Christian Paquette placed second in the open winds category playing flute, and Bryan Cheng placed third in senior strings playing cello.

“We highly recommend people coming (to the festival) because you might hear the next Yo-Yo Ma,” said Chadsey.

For years the festival has made its home at churches and other sites across Ottawa, with performances taking place in eight different venues from Stittsville to Riverview Park and in between.

The festival takes place from March 31 to May 3, with a highlights concert on May 16 at Algonquin Commons Theatre.

For more information, check out the festival’s website at ottawakiwanismusic festival.com.

Earl of March stages a generational affair Arts - The musical theatre production of Sweeny Todd to be staged in early April at the Earl of March Secondary School in Kanata has a multi-generational connection dating from the time that the school first started its drama program to today.

The school’s first drama teacher was David Galbraith (affectionately known to the students as Mr. G), who directed and produced countless high school musical productions, such as The Music Man, Fiddler on the Roof, West Side Story, The Fantasticks, The Sound of Music, and Guys and Dolls.

Galbraith retired over 23

years ago, and the current head of the Earl of March drama department, Matthew Minter, has been steadily building on the solid reputation Galbraith established at the school, adding to its long history of excellent musical productions, including Footloose and Cabaret.

This year, one of Galbraith’s former musical theatre students has a son starring in an Earl of March musical under the direction of Minter. Wayne Garnons-Williams, who graduated from the Earl of March and won the 1982 Grade 13 Award for Theatre Arts and the 1982 Kanata Theatre Award, starred in various Earl

of March productions in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Garnons-Williams now has a son, Christian, playing his first leading role at Earl of March, as Sweeny Todd in the musical production that bears the same name.

The leading role “torch” is passed from father to son and the founding theatrical director, David Galbraith, will be in attendance at the Saturday evening performance to celebrate this historic milestone of theatre excellence and to accept a special tribute by his successor, Matthew Minter, for Mr. G’s founding role in inspiring so many students that went on to be talented

performers in theatre, television and film.

The opening performance will take place Friday, April 4, at 7 p.m. in the Earl of March

Auditorium at 4 The Parkway.

The special David Galbraith tribute reception and show will be performed on Saturday, April 5, at 7 p.m. (tribute

reception at 6pm), with a final show Sunday, April 6, at 2 p.m. Tickets are $12 and can be purchased in advance at the school or at the door.

Film noir style comedy/thriller hits the Kanata stage Play runs through April 5 at Ron Maslin Playhouse Susan Monaghan

Arts - â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any time you see anything written in flowers it means people are gonna start dyinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;...â&#x20AC;?

And so begins playwright Peter Colleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homage to Hollywoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classic hardboiled film noirâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in his comedy-thriller Murder in Noirville, now playing at Kanata Theatre until April 5.

All the ingredients are there.

Joe, the world weary gumshoe with the shady past, Evelyn the blonde femme fatale that Joe professes to hate (â&#x20AC;&#x153;A flick of their hair, a flutter of their eyelashes and your brains all turn to mushâ&#x20AC;?), gangsters Marcus and Dante Bassano, and others who arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t what they seem (or as Joe ponders â&#x20AC;&#x153;whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the frame and whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the picture?â&#x20AC;?)

This entertaining gem was discovered by the husband and wife

directing team of Helen and Martin Weeden who were already big fans of Colleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work. They found Kanata Theatre to be the perfect venue having previously produced Colleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highly successful plays: Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll Get Used to It â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The War Show, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll Be Back Before Midnight, and When the Reaper Calls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The things we liked about this particular playâ&#x20AC;? says Helen, â&#x20AC;&#x153;are the many challenges of the lighting, sound, special effects, costumes and the set pieces. Everything is being done to give the presentation the

proper feel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Looking back on this style from the early 1940s to late 1950s can be almost comical as the actions and words now appear stilted and melodramatic. That is our intent and if the audience laughs then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve achieved our goal.â&#x20AC;?

Adds Martin, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is almost a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cinematicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; show with the lighting effects, stereotypical events and matching dialogue and the accompanying music which highlights the suspense, foreboding and other moods â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just as if you were watch-

ing a movie rather than a play.â&#x20AC;?

Murder in Noirville runs until April 5th in the Ron Maslin Playouse, 1 Ron Maslin Way, just off Terry Fox Drive near Walter Baker Park. Tickets are $20.

According to multiple studies, including a recent report by the National Academy of Sciences, pipelines carrying diluted bitumen pose no more of a safety risk than other pipelines carrying crude oil. Nor is diluted bitumen more likely to cause internal damage to pipes, or to cause spills. Energy East will carry all types of crude oil and will be one of the safest pipelines transporting oil across North America.

Is diluted bitumen corrosive?

No, it’s the same as any other oil.

Bridlewood prepping for warm weather brandon.gillet@metroland.com

MARGARET KELLAWAY

In the monthly report, BCA president Margaret Kellaway said the community’s March Break Movie Night was successful, though more volunteers would be beneficial in the future. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 was shown on a screen that was larger than in the past.

“It was significantly more expensive,” Kellaway said of the larger screen. “But it fit in our budget and really enhanced the experience for everyone.”

There are no budget concerns in the association, even boasting a surplus in the street party fund. Residents are invited to

W NOEN! OP

CONNECTIONS

MARGARET KELLAWAY take advantage of the fund to receive $100 for their street to have a party. The fund is designed to get people interacting with their neighbours.

A main concern for the BCA is the lack of coaches for coming sports programs.

Nearly all sport teams are in need of coaches, especially soccer and baseball.

They are urging anyone who is interested to contact springsports@bridlewood.ca or pres@bridlewood.ca.

“We have the potential for 10 (soccer) teams and only two coaches,” Kellaway said. “For baseball, we don’t have any coaches at all.”

Community support is available with the WOCRC for all ages by way of connecting residents with various agencies.

Programs for youth and women in abusive relationships as well as support to help people get involved in initiatives are offered. Links to both programs are on the BCA website at bridlewood.ca.

Finally, horticulturalist and Carp Garden Centre owner, Tim Dyer made spoke on the do’s and don’ts of spring gardening and tree/shrub planting.

He gave residents advice on what plants, supplies, mulch and techniques to use and even simple ways to design and maintain a garden in cost-effective ways. Dyer invites anyone with questions to contact him at tim@carpgardencentre.com.

NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH

Neighbourhood Watch co-ordinator Victor McNabney, and Const. Lori Fahey of the Ottawa police presented information on crime prevention activities, crime reports and volunteering.

McNabney says the Neighbourhood Watch program is doing well but more volunteers are needed in order to enforce, “consecutive watches,” to cover more ground over extended periods of time.

The general message was to simply continue looking out for each other.

Next came presentations by Sharmaarke Abdullahi of Crime Prevention Ottawa, and Maria Friis from the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre.

CPO engages residents and works with different organizations and health centres to create a long term approach to crime prevention.

One idea shared by Abdullahi was the, Take Back the Park initiative, which creates events and opportunities for residents to spend more time in parks. In turn, it’s expected the added activity will deter criminal activity would in the parks.

Brandon Gillet

Community - Road damage, tree care, and crime prevention were the top concerns at a Tuesday, March 18 Bridlewood Community Association public meeting.

But with winter drawing to a close – at a snail’s pace – the BCA is focusing on gearing up for summer.

Coun. Allan Hubley answered questions from residents. He says crews will be delayed in fixing potholes for a week or as soon as weather permits.

“We were supposed to be out first thing Tuesday morning to do that (fix potholes),” said Hubley. “Then I got a call saying, ‘We can’t fix potholes because there is 10 centimetres of snow coming.’”

The councillor urges residents to call 311 if there are any fallen or sickly looking trees in the community so the forestry department can assess the situation. According to Hubley, forestry staff is very quick to respond to situations of possibly dangerous trees. They may inoculate or remove infected trees.

How safe will it be?

24/7 safe.

Energy East Pipeline

The Energy East Pipeline will be monitored by highly trained staff in TransCanada’s state-of-the-art oil control centre 24 hours a day. Sensors along the pipeline route will relay information via satellite to the control centre every five seconds, and automatic shut-off valves in the pipeline are designed to stop the flow of oil anywhere along the route within minutes. Experienced field crews will also be on hand to continuously monitor and maintain the pipeline as well as respond immediately, if necessary.

It’s another reason why TransCanada has one of the best safety records in the industry.

Energy East Pipeline How will you protect our water?

By taking extra precautions.

TransCanada takes extra precautions when we’re near lakes, rivers and streams.

We use the highest quality steel, thickerwalled pipe and special construction techniques to cross these important areas.

When crossing major rivers, such as the Rideau, we’ll bury the pipeline deeper under the riverbed to protect these waterways.

West Ottawa Soccer partners up with Fury FC Fury players scrimmage with youth players at announcement Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

BRIER DODGE/METROLAND

A West Ottawa soccer U15 boys team plays a training game against members of the Ottawa Fury FC professional team at the Thunderbird Sports Centre on March 24.

The Fury and West Ottawa Soccer Club had announced a new partnership earlier in the evening.

Club president Brian Mason.

After the announcement, an under-15 West Ottawa team scrimmaged with five of the Canadian Ottawa Fury players, including Ottawa’s Chad Bush, who played with the Fury’s youth academy.

The teams train in the winter at the Thunderbird Sports Centre on Robertson Side Road, and play in a variety of leagues, including the provincial Ontario Youth Soccer League.

The Ottawa Fury also have their own youth academy of competitive girls and boys teams.

Sports - The Ottawa Fury FC has teamed up with the West Ottawa Soccer Club to support the amateur club’s player development in a partnership agreement.

The announcement was made at the Thunderbird Sports Centre on March 24, with several of the professional club’s Canadian players and two West Ottawa youth teams.

The West Ottawa Soccer Club is composed of the former Kanata and Goulbourn clubs, which merged in 2010.

It’s premature to detail the exact ways the clubs will work together, said Fury technical director Phillip Dos Santos, but much of the partnership will be focused on guiding the coaching staff.

He said the Fury will be providing coaches with guidelines and training methods to provide players a high-level soccer culture.

Other opportunities, such as clinics with Fury players or coaching staff for the youth players, could also happen.

“We know not everyone will make it (to the pro level),” Dos Santos said. “But they will come out of it stronger because they’re working in an excellence environment. They need to grow inside a framework where excellence is part of it.”

He said players need to see professional soccer and grow up knowing what’s needed to make it to the next level in order to be successful; an opportunity that has been lacking in Ottawa. The Fury begin play in the North American Soccer League this spring.

Fury FC president John Pugh said the partnership may also include opportunities on game days for the youth who play for the soccer club, like accompanying the players onto the field. He said the clubs have been in talks for the past six months to put the partnership together, and the Fury attended the club’s latest strategic planning session.

The Canadian Soccer Association mandates projects like the partnerships for each of Canadian’s five professional soccer teams in order to recruit and identify talent early, Pugh said.

He said most under-17 and under-20 national team players in Canada have an association with one of the professional clubs.

“It gives soccer culture in Ottawa and beyond real shape,” said West Ottawa Soccer

Sekou Kaba, right, clears the final hurdle in the finals of the 60m. It was a record-setting run for Kaba, who broke the CIS mark previously held by 1992 Summer Olympic Gold medalist Mark McKoy. CANADIAN CURLING ASSOCIATION/MICHAEL BURNS

Rachel Homan competes in the 2014 Ford Women’s World Curling Championship, held in St. John, N.B. from March 15 to 23. The Homan rink won a silver medal after losing to the Swiss in the finals.

Tyler Follett tyler.follett@metroland.com

at the world championship, held in Latvia, the team won a bronze medal.

“I had an amazing time,” said Kreviazuk in the press release. “We’re one up from last year. A silver medal is still an improvement over the bronze last year. I’m so proud of the girls. It feels good to come out of this with a medal and to

showcase it to our country.”

The team won the Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Montreal earlier this year, where Homan took home the Sandra Schmirler Most Valuable Player Award.

Care for your feet and legs during travel and prolonged periods of inactivity

Care for your feet and legs during travel and prolonged periods of inactivity Did you know that travel – and other prolonged periods of inactivity from standing or sitting – can have a negative impact on the health of your feet and legs?

Fortunately, there are steps you can take to safeguard against those lengthy times of inactivity, with one particularly satisfying solution!

When you travel or are otherwise inactive for long periods of time, such as for five hours or more, the time that you spend sitting without stretching or exercising can have a detrimental effect on your feet and legs. Sitting for extended periods in a confined space doesn’t allow you to move your leg muscles, and these are the same muscles that help the blood make its way back to the heart. As the hours of inactivity wear on, that period of dormancy slows the blood’s circulation, which can result in discomfort, swelling, and pain in the legs, feet and ankles. The longer you are confined without being able to move and stretch, the worse

Kaba hurdles McKoy to record

you are likely to feel.

Serious health consequences can occur from such extended times of idleness. Remedies to inactivity during travel and other lengthy durations of sitting can simply include making efforts to move and stretch periodically, such as walking the aisles while onboard planes and trains. Other precautions include drinking fluids, particularly when flying; avoiding alcohol; trying not to sit in the same position overly long; and wearing comfortable clothes and shoes as opposed to tightfitting clothing and uncomfortable footwear like high heels.

There also happens to be a surprising and wonderful solution that can help alleviate all those unpleasant effects of prolonged inactivity to your feet and legs: compression stockings!

Compression stockings apply gradient compression to the legs. Gradient compression helps induce blood flow, which in turn prevents the swelling and discomfort that can occur in your feet and legs during lengthy periods of inactivity.

Compression stockings also help

with the control of varicose veins, venous disease, and lymphedema disorders.

If you travel or have tired, aching legs because of too much time spent standing or sitting, solutions await you at BioPed Foot & Lower Limb Care where you will find custom orthotics, footwear, lower limb bracing and compression stockings. BioPed brings you to experts in orthotics, footwear and pedorthic care. BioPed certified pedorthists specialize in assessing and providing nonsurgical treatment for conditions related to the functions and health of your feet and lower limbs. BioPed pedorthists can fit men and women of all shapes and sizes with medical grade or over-the-counter compression products.

Of particular interest, BioPed sells JOBST® brand compression stockings. JOBST® is a world leader in medical gradient compression garments and is ideal for wearing while on the plane or other situations that have you sitting or standing for prolonged periods of time. Whether for business, sport or casual attire, at BioPed, you’ll discover a fine selection of colours and styles of compression stockings to suit your needs and preferences.

BioPed has 4 clinics in Ottawa – located in Barrhaven, Kanata, Orleans or at the Westgate shopping centre. Head to their website: bioped.com for location and hours of operation.

Sports - Sekou Kaba has capped off a strong season in the best way possible: winning a gold medal in the 60-metre hurdles at the Canadian Interuniversity Sport championships in Edmonton on March 7.

It was the second CIS gold medal at the event for the University of Ottawa Gee-Gee, having also won in 2012.

Winning a second gold wasn’t enough for the talented Kaba, who also broke the CIS record of 7.83 seconds with his time of 7.79.

The previous record holder, Mark McKoy, who went on to become the 1992 gold medalist at the Barcelona Summer Olympics in the 110m hurdles.

In other words, pretty elite company to find yourself in.

“I knew I could do it, but I think it sends a message to myself and my supporters and competitors,” said Kaba.

Kaba, who only moved to Canada in 2007, admits he wasn’t familiar with McKoy

until after breaking his record.

He has since watched many videos of his running and examined his running style, happy to learn anything he can of his adopted homeland.

The importance of the record is not lost on him.

“Anytime you can be mentioned in a sentence with a guy like Mark McKoy is great,” he said.

Kaba has already experienced the highs of success and the lows of injury.

The 2012 CIS season saw him go undefeated in indoor events, culminating in the gold medal.

His 2013 season, however, was cut short due to hamstring injuries.

He has been healthy in his current season, and competed in the provincials in February, coming in second place. It was a disappointing result for him, but it ended up being a blessing in disguise as it motivated him at the nationals where he reclaimed his crown as Canadian champion.

“Though I got beat at provincials, I think I needed that,”

Sports - There was a silver lining for the Rachel Homan rink’s world championship competition finish.

The rink, composed of Homan, Emma Miskew, Alison Kreviazuk and Lisa Weagle, won the silver medal at the Ford Women’s World Curling Championship, held in St. John, N.B. from March 15 to 23.

They lost to the Swiss team 9-5 in the final match up, after beating Switzerland earlier in the tournament. “The disappointing part was not bringing back gold for Canada, obviously,” said Homan in a press release. “But I’m really proud of the run we had all week. Just disappointed that we didn’t finish off that last game.”

Despite the loss, the team still took home a silver medal, and Kreviazuk was awarded the France Brodie Award for fair play and sportsmanship, an award voted on by the players at the tournament. Last year

said Kaba.

The 60m and 110m hurdles are the two events Kaba competes in, with the former ran indoors and the latter outdoors.

Though he is the CIS record holder in 60m, 110m is Kaba’s specialty with him even saying he “struggles” at the 60m.

“I finish strong, that’s always been my big strength so I definitely prefer 110m,” he said.

He has trained with the Ottawa Lions Track and Field Club since coming to Canada from the United States in 2007, and it’s been a successful partnership. Kaba was born in Guinea, moving to the U.S. when he was 14.

“They’re absolutely great, they’ve been home to me since I stepped foot on Canadian soil,” said Kaba happily.

Looking ahead, Kaba is as motivated as ever to not only make it as a professional track star, but excel.

“There’s plenty more to come, I just want to keep working hard and doing my best,” he said.

The Olympics in Rio do Janiero, Brazil, in 2016 and qualification is a realistic goal. Kaba almost qualified for the 2012 Olympics, gaining citizenship just in time for the trials.

The Commonwealth Games are in August this year in Glasgow, Scotland, and Kaba has every intention of showing what he’s made of on the world stage.

“I’m absolutely ready, the doors are wide open. I just need to keep working.”

Jr. Sens send Colts packing with shut out tyler.follett@metroland.com

Sports - The Ottawa Jr. Senators took Game 5 over the Cornwall Colts 6-0 Wednesday, to take the series 4-1 in the first round of Central Canada Hockey League playoffs.

It was another big win for the Jr. Sens, who won three in a row to clinch the series.

All four victories in the series came by with wide combined margin of 20 goals.

“Obviously our offensive ability to score goals helped us, but I thought all five games we were solid defensively, eliminating their chances,” said Rick Dorval, head coach of the Jr. Sens.

The team took control of Game 5 early at Jim Durrell Recreation Complex, with Orleans-native Deric Boudreau scoring just before the halfway mark of the first period to take the lead. Fellow

Ottawa-native Eric Clitsome added another 16 seconds later, deflating the Colts.

They added a pair of power play goals in the final three minutes of the period to head into the second with a comfortable 4-0 lead.

We’ve been practicing our power play all year together so we’re really getting the feel for it now.

DERIC BOUDREAU

The Colts pressed hard in the second, looking like a team with their backs against the wall.

The Jr. Sens withstood the pressure, before adding to the lead with a goal in each of the second and third periods.

The power play was clicking all series for the Jr. Sens, as they finished the game 2-5 with the man advantage, 8-25 for the series.

The Jr. Sens use video to their advantage to adapt their game and systems to the opposition, especially in the playoffs when a series can be won and lost based on how quickly a team can adapt.

“We use video to look at how other teams defend, we adapt to what they do to try to be successful,” said Dorval.

Alexandre Savard-Belanger did everything required playing between the pipes, stopping all 20 shots he faced for the shutout, including 12 in the second period.

Boudreau finished the game with a goal and three assists, including two on the power play, giving him 12 points in the playoffs.

“We’ve been practicing our power play all year to-

gether so we’re really getting the feel for it now,” said Boudreau.

“Systems help a lot. We looked at Cornwall and made sure to use the right systems against them.”

Boudreau is on top of his game, with the hometown product leading the team in playoff scoring.

Looking ahead to the next round, a meeting with the second-seeded Smith Falls Bears awaits the third-seeded

Jr. Sens.

“We’re gonna take the next couple days to rest up, we’ve got some guys pretty banged up, then it’s right back to the video and drawing board, finding holes on Smith Falls to capitalize on,” said Dorval.

The Bears won the regular season series between the two clubs, 3-2. Schedules for round two of the playoffs will be released once all first round series have finished.

Minto skating club celebrates 110th anniversary Guest skaters, tribute and history of club part of show Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

Sports - Minto Skating Club is revelling in its old age this year with a tribute to one of its sweetest stars.

The club’s 110th anniversary show, Fire and Ice, will acknowledge the lifetime achievements the club’s most famous skater, Barbara Ann Scott.

The event, will take place at the Minto Skating Club on April 5, with performances at 2:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Darryl VanLuven, skating coordinator and organizer worked at creating an event which will highlight Scott’s career as well as highlight the history of skating and the history of the club.

“Minto is the oldest remaining club in Ontario,” VanLuven said.

“We played a huge role in the development of skating, and have many achievements to our credit over the years. The enduring success of the club and achievement of this milestone is a testament to the dedication of the thousands of members, coaches, volunteers who have worked so hard over the years.”

Not only is Minto the oldest skating club in Ontario, VanLuven added, it’s also among the oldest in Canada.

The show will take the audience through the history of the Club, starting in the early 1900s when it was formed by Lord and Lady Minto, through to the present. The tribute to Scott will be a part of the chronological order of the club’s history.

VanLuven said skaters will perform to music from the various eras.

All levels of skaters in the club are participating in the event, and guest skater, Alaine Chartrand, the current Senior National Team member, will perform as well and Olympic bronze medalist and world champion Don Jackson will be in attendance. A soloist will skate the tribute program to Scott.

An alumni skate will begin at 3:30 p.m.

“Former Minto skaters will take to the ice and have the opportunity to socialize and connect with old skating friends,” he said.

Looking ahead at the next 110 years, VanLuven said he predicts like any sport, the sport of skating will change and continue to change to shape the future of skating.

“Minto will continue to build on our storied past and evolve with our sport, making sure to not forget the rich history that has brought us to this point, so the next generations of skaters can experience the ‘club’ that has touched so many.”

Tickets are $20 for adults, $5 for children aged six to 12 and children under five are free. For more information about the show or to purchase tickets call 613-733-5292 or visit mintoskatingclub.com.

Jealousy ends up tearing apart precious hand-me-down

E

merson was not happy.

The hand-medown box was wide open in the middle of the kitchen floor, and the entire family sat around it in chairs as we would at a prayer meeting at the Lutheran Church.

The call had come that morning: “She’s here...she’s here.” That’s all the station master had to say. We knew the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie in Regina had arrived on the C.P.R. train.

Of course there was no touching it until after supper, the kitchen had been cleaned up, and our hands washed.

Why we had to wash our hands before we touched a wood crate that come all the way from Regina by train was something I could never understand, but no one got near the box, or the mounds of clothes packed inside until we had thoroughly washed our hands!

The reason Emerson was in a state was because a nice store-bought sweater had been claimed by Earl.

Alpaca, it was, Mother said.

We had to admit it was a fine specimen of a sweater, and it fit Earl to a T. Earl, being several sizes smaller than Emerson, and weighing about 50 pounds less, was the logical owner of the newly arrived sweater,

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories once worn by a rich cousin in Regina.

But Emerson claimed since he was older, he should have had first pick, and as far as he was concerned the sweater would fit. “It’s supposed to be tight – that’s the style of it,” he reasoned.

Mother would have no part of the argument. The sweater was Earl’s and that was the end of it.

Alas, if that were only the case!

The entire box was emptied, and as usual, there was nothing in it for my sister Audrey or me – it was all boys’ clothes. We knew some of Uncle Jack’s suits would eventually be made into skirts or jumpers for us, and the dresses Aunt Lizzie had no more use for, being several sizes too small for Mother, would be turned into blouses.

The contents of the entire box had been sorted, pawed over and put into piles, and the empty box moved out to the summer kitchen, where it would eventually be pulled

apart and used for kindling for the Findlay Oval.

It looked like Earl was the only one who had anything decent out of the whole box.

That is, everything else had to be cut down to size, let out, pressed or passed on to the rummage sale the Salvation Army held once a year in Renfrew.

The whole evening was spent pawing over the clothes from Regina, with Emerson still insisting the one prize in the entire box, the Alpaca sweater, belonged to him. Earl had rolled it into a ball, and it was under his arm, and as far as he was concerned, he owned it, lock, stock and barrel!

Even when we were on our knees around Mother saying our nightly prayers, Earl never let go of the sweater, and we knew he would be wearing it the next day to the Northcote School.

Well, at the crack of dawn, which was when we five children were roused from our warm beds, all heck broke loose.

Earl, who only cried if he was physically hurt, was crying like he had lost an arm.

Between sobs he was calling Emerson every vile name he could think of. Mother left making the porridge and took the stairs two at a time to settle whatever was causing the uproar.

Well, it was plain to see what had happened, and it was going to take a genius to fix it. In fact, not even a genius could repair the damage.

How Emerson did what he did without being heard through the night would forever remain a mystery, but somehow he had snuck downstairs to Mother’s sewing basket; got her good scissors that no one could touch, and cut out the sleeves of the sweater.

There he stood, fully dressed with a clean plaid shirt and over the top was the now-sleeveless sweater. He ignored the fact that it barely touched his waist. The arms fit, and to Emerson, that was all that mattered.

Now, Earl was small, but he was powerful when he was in full anger mode, and

he attacked Emerson with fists flying. Everyone stood around in the upstairs hall, which was really the bedroom I shared with Audrey, too stunned to enter into the battle. Even Mother looked like she had turned to stone.

Earl grabbed at the sweater, latching onto a shoulder where it had been relieved of one of its sleeves, and pulled with all his might. Right before our eyes, the piece of yarn he had a firm hold on reamed off the sweater, falling in a soft mound on the bedroom floor.

Soon there was very little left to that side of the sweater. It was unravelling and if Earl kept at it, soon there would be nothing left but the band on the bottom.

Well, there was nothing to do but admit that was the last of the Alpaca sweater. Audrey said she doubted if even the wool could be saved.

Mother said she would think of a punishment for Emerson after we had all gone to school, and she could get her wits about her.

All the way out the long lane, Emerson walked half a

mile behind us, like someone with leprosy.

If there was anything Emerson hated, it was doing house chores. Mother decided every night for a week he would clean up the kitchen, and that meant putting on a long white pinny, washing the dishes, drying them, and putting them into the cupboard. “Girls chores,” he called it.

Earl didn’t think the penalty was severe enough, and so all the time Emerson was at his “girl chores,” Earl sat on the bench behind the table making faces and sneering in Emerson’s direction. Emerson dared not complain, because he knew Mother could easily add another house chore to his punishment, like peeling potatoes or making the toast in the morning.

More girl chores.

Algonquin campaign nets Mercer Tyler Follett tyler.follett@metroland.com

News - Rick Mercer visited Algonquin College for a day to celebrate students raising $10,000 to win the Spread the Net challenge for a second straight year.

The challenge pits schools against one another to raise funds for and provide African families with insect-proof beds to combat malaria.

Mercer, one of the charitable organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s founders, treats the school that raises the most money to a visit, and films segments of his CBC show The Mercer Report on

campus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no school in the country that has as much school spirit as Algonquin,â&#x20AC;? said Mercer to a packed house at the student commons building.

This year the event was entirely student-led as opposed to last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faculty-led team headed by Lisa Roots, professor in the police foundations program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was definitely a little different this year not being faculty-run,â&#x20AC;? said Riley Jones, chairman of the Spread the Net committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were still there to assist us, but they wanted stu-

dents to learn from the experience and I think we accomplished that.â&#x20AC;?

With the cost of each net $10, students will be sending 1,000 nets to Africa.

Since its foundation, the organization has donated more than 500,000 nets.

Organizers and volunteers distributed some of the insecticide-treated nets in order to let students see what all of their efforts were being put towards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all used our talents, everyone in different programs used what resources they had from that program to make this world,â&#x20AC;? said Jones.

Proposed infill rules remove parking requirement Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - The city is shaking up the way infill homes are built – including removing the requirement for a parking space.

Constant neighbourhood strife over larger, denser homes being built where there was no home – or a residence that housed fewer people – has led the city’s planning department to spend almost four years working on new rules to help those infill homes fit into their communities in inner urban wards (Capital, Kitchissippi, Rideau-Rockcliffe, Rideau-Vanier and Somerset).

The new rules planners are proposing will fundamentally alter the process of building a new infill home from the start of the project. From eliminating the parking requirement to ensuring infill homes match their neighbours, the proposed rules are aimed at making streetscapes look more cohesive.

While infill design used to begin with the parking space, which was required, city planners want the major requirement and starting point to be the streetscape from now on.

The new rules can be summed up as “your street gives you your rules,” the planning report states.

The new infill rules are a proposal at this point; the planning committee was set to deliberate the proposal on March 25, after this newspaper’s deadline.

If the changes are approved, landowners and architects wanting to build an infill home would first have to look at the 21 lots surrounding the property to be developed and use those observations to create a starting point for what their new home could look like.

Streetscape attributes that must be respected include: • Front-yard setbacks, as well as corner and side yards • Vehicle access (driveway or rear lane) • Parking space type and location on the lot • Location and use of walkways • Front-yard landscaping • Front door orientation • Visual prominence of the front wall An analysis of the street’s character doesn’t include the style of architecture.

Observing the 21 neighbouring homes would determine which dominant “character groups” apply to the lot to be developed.

Within each character group, there are a number of options for development to permit flexibility, according to the planning report; for instance, there are four character groups describing parking

patterns.

One of the main streetscape elements to be protected is how far back a home is set from the street.

The new rule would require the front setback to be the average of the abutting lots’ setbacks, up to a maximum of six metres. In places where the zoning allows a smaller, three-metre setback, the zoning would be amended to reflect the new rule.

Only after the streetscape attributes have been incorporated would a parking space be allowed.

It is no longer a requirement to provide a parking space for new low-rise homes in inner-urban wards. Although builders would be allowed to provide parking, an obligation to provide parking would only kick in for dwellings with more than 12 units.

Importantly, the new rules would extend to existing homes if additions are added. Previously, infill guidelines only applied to the construction of new homes.

Parking was the starting point of city’s first effort to alter infill building in 2012 and at that time, Capital Coun. David Chernushenko requested there be a closer look at parking on small lots in his ward.

The city commissioned a

Week in Review Cleaning the Capital FILE

The city’s planning committee is set to debate new rules that would eliminate the requirement for a parking space for dwellings within the Greenbelt that have less than 12 units. $30,000 study on the matter, of which Chernushenko paid half.

The study found that although consultants could support a complete prohibition on parking on small lots, that driveway ban wouldn’t necessarily support the new goal of creating a consistent neighbourhood character.

Instead, the new report recommends banning parking on all small lots – under 5.6 metres – unless they have access from a

laneway or are on a corner.

In a technical sense, that would be accomplished by removing provisions allowing parking based on lot width and replacing them with rules to allow the same or similar types of parking as the dominant style of parking on the street.

There were seven stakeholder meetings held over 10 months to consult the public on the new rules.

The Kanata Kourier-Standard published a series of articles on my business. Now everyone knows how great we are!

It was great to see so many of you at my Cleaning the Capital volunteer appreciation reception on Monday evening.

OC Transpo Updates Route 66 I am pleased to announce that the OC Transpo has assigned higher capacity busses to route 66 to increase capacity at key times along that route. Staff will continue to monitor the numbers so that more changes can be made if needed.

Route 96 Throughout the year OC Transpo reviews service levels and routings with the goal of continually improving transit service for customers as their needs change. When considering changes to routes or service, they review these changes following their approved transit service design standards, and they ensure that any proposed change results in more benefit than inconvenience to the most customers.

In Kanata South, OC Transpo have found an opportunity to improve the speed and reliability of transit service on Route 96 for Kanata residents. Route 96, in both directions, will operate on Katimavik Road instead of making a detour into the Kanata Town Centre loop.

The change will require removing the pair of bus stops along the Kanata Town Centre loop, and readjusting the bus stop on the north side of Katimavik Road (just east of the loop) so that it is closer to the entrance of the Kanata Town Centre. The sidewalk from the Kanata Town Centre will be extended to the new bus stop location so that customers have a safe walk to transit.

City Councillor, Kanata North SUPPORT SERVICES IN THE COMMUNITY Did you know that a number of non-profit organizations that serve the most vulnerable in the community are located in the Kanata North Business Park? The Kanata Food Cupboard has its office and warehouse there. The Furniture Bank of Ottawa has its warehouse for donated furniture and household items that furnish homes for refugees and others in need. And Ottawa Carleton Life Skills Inc. provides services to developmentally disabled adults. Last week I had a very interesting visit with Ottawa Carleton Life Skills, meeting staff and their clients.

Life Skills offers their clients both residential and day programs. At the day program I received wonderful hugs, was given a tour and provided information on their social enterprise Tableworks, a catering company where they produce tasty goodies. They also offer a home share program, residential support and supported independent living programs. During the day program they may go to a business where they do various tasks and learn new skills.

All of these organizations benefit from community support. Find out more by going to their websites and learning about the wonderful services they provide.

32 Kanata Kourier-Standard EMC - Thursday, March 27, 2014

News - OC Transpo is investigating after a bus driver laughed at a passenger and refused to let her off at a “safe stop.”

Passengers are supposed to be able to ask bus drivers to let them off at a spot other than a bus stop after 7 p.m. OC Transpo began promoting the program in December after a number of highly-publicized sexual assaults at transit stations.

But when Carleton University student Sarah Douglas asked to disembark at Rideau and Cobourg streets around 9 p.m. on Sunday evening, the bus operator “kind of laughed and then sighed.”

“She said if everyone asked for it, she would have to let people off all over the route and that she’d have to make exceptions for everyone if they asked,” Douglas said.

When a surprised Douglas responded that it was after 7 p.m., when the service kicks in, the bus operator said the program is “only for people in danger.”

“She asked me if I was in danger and I said, ‘Well, actually, yes, my neighbourhood is dangerous. It’s nice, but it’s not the

greatest neighbourhood,” Douglas said.

Less than two weeks earlier, police charged a 27-year-old man with sexual assault after a woman was assaulted blocks away, at Wilbrod and Chapel streets.

When the driver retorted with “If you think so,” Douglas said she was taking note of the bus number to report the incident.

She got off the bus at the regular stop, about 250 metres away from the intersection near where she asked to be let off.

“I was in shock,” Douglas said. “This is a program and they have announcements on the bus that you hear sometimes … You don’t have to give justifications for why you want to get off the bus.”

Douglas said she was disappointed the bus driver who refused to let her use a safe stop was a woman.

“As a woman, you kind of empathize with other women.

You know the extra precautions we take before we head out at night. You know – having your cell phone in one hand and your car keys in the other, being prepared to run.”

The interaction doesn’t meet OC Transpo’s customer service

LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND

Carleton University master’s student Sarah Douglas was shocked after an OC Transpo bus driver refused to let her off closer to her Lowertown home as part of the ‘safe stop’ program. OC Transpo is investigating. expectations, David Pepper, OC Transpo’s manager of business and operational services, wrote in an email.

“Upon receipt of this customer’s complaint, OC Transpo immediately began investigating the concerns raised by the customer in order to take the necessary corrective action(s),” Pepper wrote.

It’s the 16th complaint OC

Transpo has received since a promotional push for safety initiatives began in December.

It’s also not the first complaint sent to Hollaback Ottawa. The group has been working to build awareness that street harassment is an issue and Hollaback organizer Julie Lalonde said one person is too many to be treated like Douglas was.

“It shows an ignorance of women’s perceptions of safety,” Lalonde said.

While the top brass at OC Transpo have recently shown a willingness to talk to Hollaback about safety initiatives, Lalonde wondered if that message was trickling down to bus drivers.

Transit commission chairwoman Coun. Diane Deans insisted the “culture of safety” she and OC Transpo general manager John Manconi promote is having an impact on the frontline.

“I think we’re setting the tone,” she said.

Douglas said it’s the first time she’s had an issue using the safe stop program, which she has taken advantage of about six or seven times since January. While some drivers have told her it’s not safe to let her off at the exact spot she asked for because of traffic, they have always let her off as close as possible.

Last week, OC Transpo released survey results showing that 49 per cent of women said they felt “safe and secure” waiting for a bus late at night.

OC Transpo is currently looking at different ways to improve safety, OC Transpo general manager John Manconi told the transit commission on March 19.

Ideas include investigating the possibly of solar panel roofs on bus stop shelters to provide lighting after dark, and dressing the around-the-clock maintenance staff in uniforms that identify them as OC Transpo workers.

Carp market readies for Easter

Connected to your community

Community - While the odd snowflake may still be around, spring is officially here so why not come and taste a little of the spring magic conjured up by the Carp Farmers at their Annual Easter Market on Saturday, April 19.

Gates open at 8 a.m. and stay that way until 2 p.m. Fifty-plus vendors will be on hand.

Assorted meats (local lamb, elk, pork, and beef), eggs, fresh mi-

cro greens, and lettuce, stored root vegetables, herbs, garlic dips and delights, maple syrup, cranberries, fresh cider and juicy apples from last year’s crop, plus a wide range of preserves and cheeses, savoury and sweet baked goods are among some of the many products on offer along with Easter’s special candy favourite – chocolate.

Check out the high end crafts: from cards and art, through ceram-

ics, quilts, woodwork and jewellery to toys and clothing.

The food court will be in full swing with homemade drinks, both hot and cold, snacks and more substantial plates.

Although market president David McCreery laments the unusually long and hard winter he’s also the first to point out that “although we may be a little behind with some of our spring produce, we still have a great selec-

tion from which to choose.

“The Carp Farmers’ Market is growing bigger year by year but our commitment to maintaining the highest possible quality in both produce and crafts remains as strong as ever.”

The market will also run a 50/50 draw in support of the West Carleton Food Bank as well as accepting any donations of non-perishable food items. There will be a draw for the market’s decorated Easter basket.

5577 Hazeldean Road, Kanata

News - A local resource centre plans to shine a light on youth programming.

The Nepean, Rideau and Osgoode Community Resource Centre is once again hosting their Shine a Light on Youth gala at the Centurion Conference Centre on April 26.

The gala – which is aimed at raising funds for youth programming – has been an annual event for the last four years, said NROCRC executive director Sandy Wooley.

The gala will even feature entertainment by youth, Wooley said.

Singers Charmaine and Aurora Finkle from the after school club at Frank Ryan Senior Catholic Elementary School will hit the stage, along with the Sir Robert Borden Secondary School jazz band.

Later in the evening, local band Blacksmith will take to the stage.

Even more important than who’s on the bill are the programs that will be helped with the funds raised.

Wooley said the goal this year is $20,000 – an attempt to build on the success of past years.

Wooley said past fundraisers have made youth mental health counselling possible.

There’s a part-time counsellor available at the centre’s Merivale Road headquarters two days per week.

“We would like to expand that program,” Wooley said.

The centre also helps to build

There will be something for everyone SANDY WOOLEY

The group – along with members of the Manotick and Village Community Association – are also trying to raise funds to build a welcoming centre for youth that would include services and recreational activities.

The centre has lent the support of community developers and interns to help get that program going.

In Parkwood Hills, NROCRC worked with a group of youth leaders to build capacity for after school and sports programs.

The gala is set to kick off April 26 at 170 Colonnade Road at 6 p.m. with a buffet dinner. There will also be live and silent auctions.

Deputy police chief Jill Skinner will the guest speaker and Brent Corbeil from Boom 99.7 will be the Master of Ceremonies.

“There will be something for everyone,” Wooley said.

Tickets are $65 for the evening, for more information, or to purchase tickets, visit www.nrocrc.org.

Dancers to take to the big stage Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

Arts - When the professional Ballet Jorgen takes the stage on March 29 to dance Romeo and Juliet, not all eyes will be on the lead dancers front and centre.

Families of the young Ottawa dancers cast in the Centrepointe Theatre show will be focused on their daughters playing smaller roles, as village people or party-goers.

For some of the dancers, it will be the first time on stage with a professional company.

As Ballet Jorgen travels Canada with the Romeo and Juliet show, they cast local dancers in each city.

Gloucester’s Hannah Waldman, 14, is one of the dancers who was cast in the show. Hannah has danced with a semiprofessional company before, when she danced in Toronto

with the Toronto International Ballet Theatre, but this is her first professional show.

She’s excited “to feel what it’s like to be in a professional company,” she said. “There’s going to be less explanations; it will probably be go go go.”

The Grade 9 student at Canterbury High School dances daily at school, and takes classes at Makin’ Moves in Old Ottawa South.

“I was seven, and I saw Swan Lake for the first time,” she said. “And then I was like, ‘I want to be a ballerina.’”

About 50 dancers attended the Ottawa audition, and 11 were cast in one or two small roles each. The dancers will only have about a week to get ready with the professional company, because they are a touring company that will come to Ottawa for just the one performance.

While Hannah used to dream of dancing with a professional ballet company, she’s now thinking of pursuing musical theatre, and dreams of performing on Broadway or attending The Julliard School, one of the top arts schools in the world.

Getting a chance to be on the big stage and dance with a professional company will give her experience to help her make her future plans and decisions.

Her dance teacher, Michelle Priel, said it’s great to see dancers from a variety of studios across the city joining the professional cast on stage.

A similar program runs in the winter, when Ballet Jorgen puts on the Nutcracker at Centrepointe Theatre.

“It’s a very positive thing when a Toronto-based dance company brings a high level of ballet to another city,” Priel said. “It’s a really interested

outreach program.”

She said it’s also a great way for the touring company to develop a fan base for ballet in Ottawa, as the families and friends of the local dancers will be keen to purchase tickets and attend.

“It’s a way to build an audience for dance,” she said.

“When someone you know is in the ballet, you think, ‘Oh, I want to go see Hannah.’”

The local dancers taking part in Romeo and Juliet are Kasha Rombough, Sophie Willett, Hannah Waldman, Brooke Collier, Heather Croisier, Gabrielle Lowe, Victoria Drummond, Fiona Fagen, Megan Glauser, Annick Trudeau and Diane Harper.

Romeo and Juliet will be on stage at Centrepointe Theatre on March 29 at 7:30 p.m.

Polio survivor creates support group for Post-Polio Syndrome Group to speak at Kanata rotary club April 3 Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

News - Once a feared scourge, polio has receded from the memories of Canadians in the 60 years since its eradication. However, it hasn’t faded from the lives of the survivors who still live with complications from the disease.

Eileen Lavigne, a resident of west Ottawa, knows all too well that survivors must deal with reoccurring medical problems related to polio. To help sufferers find appropriate resources, she has started a support group for those experiencing “post-polio syndrome.”

The idea for the Ottawa Polio Survivors Group was sparked when Lavigne realized there was a service gap for such residents.

“I was looking for information and support online in the Ottawa area, and found none,” said Lavigne. “I contacted March of Dimes in Toronto -- they oversee support groups -- and in talking with them I discovered there are a large number of polio survivors in Ottawa.”

Polio, also known as infantile paralysis, was a viral illness that struck during the summer months, predominately affecting children, and could lead to death or paralysis. Images of previously healthy children living inside assisted-breathing machines were a terrifying prospect for parents in those days.

The 1952-53 North American

epidemic was the largest in recorded history, afflicting more than 90,000 people over the course of two years, Lavigne among them. In the wake of the epidemic, a search began in earnest for a solution, powered by millions of dollars of research money donated by private citizens and governments.

A vaccine, announced by Jonas Salk in 1955 following the largest field trial in history, spelled an end to the fear, but not to the challenges facing those who survived. Canada alone has approximately 125,000 polio survivors.

“Not everyone has the same symptoms,” said Lavigne. “There’s cold intolerance, muscle weakness, nerve damage, difficulty swallowing – the list goes on and on.”

Lavigne plans to speak at the Nepean-Kanata Rotary Club on April 3. The club’s parent body, Rotary In-

EILEEN LAVIGNE ternational, has been fighting for the worldwide eradication of polio for years, with more than $1 billion raised for that cause.

Rotarian Steve Sharlow said that

combating the disease in developing countries is the main focus of Rotary International, but added that survivors need support as well.

“Sadly, we are becoming aware of the problems that polio survivors are experiencing,” said Sharlow. “I have, through LinkedIn, broadcast what Eileen is trying to do and it is amazing the response world-wide. Many members from various parts of the world have stated there are many who are suffering similar post-polio effects.”

The Ottawa Polio Survivors Group meets on the second Monday of each month at Woodroffe United Church (located at 207 Woodroffe Ave.), from 2 to 4 p.m. Lavigne can be contacted directly by calling 613-729-6307, or by emailing elavigne@rogers.com.

More information on the group can be found at poliosurvivors.org.

National Chief addresses the future of working together \Brandon Gillet brandon.gillet@metroland.com

News- National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations Shawn Atleo enriched this month’s Mayor’s Breakfast, with a taste of history and moving forward as a nation.

Atleo outlined a history of struggles for indigenous peoples and the strides which have been made in the relationships between First Nations and others in Canada during his March 20 speech.

“We continue to struggle to find our way forward as indigenous peoples,” said Atleo. “In the last 250, going back as far as 400 years, it’s been a tremendous struggle.”

As a 27th generation hereditary chief of the Ahousaht First Nation and national chief of the AFN, Atleo advocates for all First Nations with exception of Metis and Inuit, who have their own assemblies. He stressed development and understanding between indigenous people and the other cultures within

this country.

“We have an incredible history here that we’re beginning to better understand in the relationships between indigenous people and those who have come to settle,” said Atleo.

He said there should be a realization that we are all human beings, and to not only to respect people’s differences but to embrace them. Atleo recalled attending the services for the late Nelson Mandela and how he witnessed politicians from many different countries or factions coming together to share in mourning.

“Canada can learn from a moment of grief in another country and the legacy of a great man like Nelson Mandela,” he said. “He (Mandela) once said, ‘The only way forward is peace.’”

Despite some turbulent times during Canada’s history, Atleo believes we are in a new era of understanding and moving forward together. That it is crucial because people don’t always get along, problems arise, and relationships break down.

“We’re talking about human beings on the full spectrum,” Atleo said. “With the ability to be foolish, and the ability for genius.”

Spring Home and Fashion Show set for Carleton Place arena freshments, door prizes and much more.

The main event takes place on one of the two ice surfaces in the complex as well as in the large upstairs hall. The women’s wear fashion show, children’s activities and live music will be in the more intimate small hall, located above Arena 2.

The family-oriented production features a low admission price of $5 per person.

Children 12 and under are admitted free. There will also be a Food Court upstairs to satisfy the appetites of those in attendance.

The arena floor will showcase “wall to wall home and yard improvement ideas” as well as a chance for local residents to become more familiar with the wide variety of businesses available in the town and the neighbouring communities of Beckwith Township, Mississippi Mills and nearby Ottawa.

The main upstairs hall will feature an additional assortment of local vendors and businesses, a component that was added for the second show last spring and was so well received it is returning this year.

Chief organizer Bob White, senior facility operator for the Recreation and Culture Department, is already well known for promoting country music shows and conducting various other fundraisers in the growing community.

THIRD ANNUAL

In the spring of 2012 White spearheaded the first home show in the town in more than a decade. It was a major success with over 2,000 people attending. The second annual production last April was

equally successful, setting the stage for a return engagement in 2014.

Planning for the show has been underway for several months. White is being assisted by Jessica Smith, Carleton Place community programmer; Joanne Henderson, manager of the Carleton Place Recreation and Culture Department and other staff members.

“This promises to be an exceptional show,” White says.

“There will be more than 100 vendors. If you want to upgrade your home or property this spring and summer, this is the weekend to get some good ideas from the experts.”

Among those on hand will be firms featuring home décor; heating, cooling and air conditioning; spas and hot tubs as well as automotive, nurseries, florists and landscapers. At least one marina will be represented along with contractors, small equipment dealers, tile and granite sales and garden shed vendors.

Motor vehicle sales staff and representatives from the local insurance industry have also booked space on the show floor.

White emphasizes that the Carleton Place Spring Home and Fashion Show is an activity for the whole family.

“There is live music, food and clowns for the children.

And remember, kids 12 and under are admitted free.”

Friday night, April 11 is also ‘Exhibitor’s Night’. As a thank you to those taking part, musical entertainment and snacks will be available to exhibitors from 8:30-10:30 p.m. in the small hall upstairs.

The room, which can comfortably seat 125 people, will be turned into an “acoustic lounge” for the weekend. The

ITALY

hall will also be licenced.

Entertaining Friday will be the Wade Foster Trio featuring well-known area musician Foster (fiddle, guitar and vocals) along with bandmates Shawn McCullough (guitar and vocals) and Corey Sullivan (guitar, mandolin and vocals).

Saturday, April 12 from 3-8 p.m. Andy Bowes of the popular Carleton Place family band, the Bowes Brothers, along with some musical friends, will entertain in the same venue.

Also Saturday, for the second straight year, Korny the Klowns will be on hand to do face painting and balloon sculpting for youngsters from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

“They were a huge hit last year,” White says, noting the clowns’ appearance is being sponsored by the Recreation and Culture Department.

SPA DAY

Sunday’s Spa Day is mainly for the ladies and will feature hair and make-up tips, hand and foot care information as well as chair massage and other relaxation techniques.

“We have space for 10 participants (exhibitors) and there are still a few places available,” White explains.

The upstairs Food Court will feature specialties prepared by Waterfall Catering of Carleton Place which is owned and operated by Dave Kleiboer. Roast beef on a bun, chili, soup, and a variety of beverages will be for sale.

Downstairs the arena canteen will be open all weekend dispensing hot dogs, poutine and various food items, as well as beverages.

Those who pay their way in to the show will receive

lots of extras!

“There will be plenty of handouts and goodie bags for those in attendance,” White states. “We will also have draws each day.”

This year’s prize draws, which are open to all ticket holders, include a leaf blower from Valley Small Engines on Friday night and a power tool package from Bytown Lumber Saturday.

The big added feature this year is the grocery gift card draw scheduled for Sunday afternoon at 1:30 (sharp).

“The first 500 tickets sold on Sunday will be entered for a chance to win a $500 grocery card from Steve’s Your Independent Grocer in Carleton Place,” White says.

“But you have to be here to win. We will keep drawing until the first person in attendance with a (winning) ticket steps forward,” he explains.

Also during the home show the Carleton Place Lions Club will hold a 50/50 draw each day.

“The Lions Club ran a home show here for years and they are pleased to be involved in this event,” White states.

There is no extra admission charge for the musical entertainment upstairs on Saturday.

The chief organizer thanks all of the event sponsors for their participation. “Without them we couldn’t operate.”

The only major detail yet to be finalized is whether the main exhibit area will be in Arena 1 (the main rink) or Arena 2.

Rotary home hopes to continue respite in face of funding woes Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - The Ottawa Rotary Home, which provides respite care for children and young adults with physical and cognitive disabilities, is hoping to get consistent funding for its adult program.

The program is unique because it provides overnight respite care and social programs for adults with disabilities over the age of 21. Chloe Hillier, director of development for the home, said thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lack of services for people over 21. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids get older, but they still have the same limitations,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The need for respite is even bigger though, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harder to lift a 25-year-old and the parents are older.â&#x20AC;?

The second campus of the home opened on Rotary Way in 2009, thanks to fundraising from dozens of local service clubs and Rotarian branches. The first Ottawa home opened on Rochester Avenue in 1982. The home, receives continuous funding, from those groups to operate, as well as money from an annual golf fundraiser in June. But the patchwork of donations doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t provide the same stability annual funding from the province would give.

Since the Leitrim campus â&#x20AC;&#x201C; off of Bank Street, just south of Leitrim Drive - of the home opened in 2009, it has served 120 adults seeking respite. The number of night stays has ballooned from 200 to 1,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We saw there was a need,â&#x20AC;? said Hillier said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We serve families from all over eastern Ontario.â&#x20AC;?

But the adult program narrowly missed being closed in January. It was saved with $62,000 in funding from the Ministry of Community and Social Services.

The boost from the province allowed the program to continue, but Hillier said the lack of an annual, stable funding source makes longrange planning difficult. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are fine until August and hopefully beyond that, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough for the staff and the clients, to be unsure of what our future is,â&#x20AC;? she said.

These kids are often in wheelchairs and require a lot of medical equipment. Giving their parents a break helps to keep them at home and out of group homes or institutions.â&#x20AC;?

Hillier said funding from local service clubs and other private do-

nations and grant money allow the home to offer more flexible care â&#x20AC;&#x201C; both in the type of the care they offer and the hours of care.

Because of funding from the Ministry of Child and Youth Services, there are 13 beds available for children under 21. Hillier said there are eight beds available for

the adult program, but only the home has funding and staffing to operate four or five at a time. There are two clients per staff member, much lower than the average 5 to 1 ratio that most places have, Hillier said.

Despite stretching their budget, the home remains a haven. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The staff here is really good at cutting through the red tape and getting help for clients that might otherwise fall through the cracks,â&#x20AC;? said Rotarian and Osgoode resident Richard Fisher.

Fisher knocked on doors to fundraise for the home and believes in what they do.

When you walk into the facility, the entrance way is very welcoming, with a seating room complete with fire place. The client intakes happen there.

Off of the entrance is the Snozelen Room â&#x20AC;&#x201C; filled with lights and sensory equipment for kids to play with. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The room can be stimulating or calming, depending on the needs of the child,â&#x20AC;? Hillier said.

Ottawa residents were fairly satisfied with OC Transpo’s service in 2013, with 80 per cent of the residents surveyed rating it as good or very good.

Transit riders voice overall satisfaction There are also plans to do joint patrols with the Ottawa police, using crime data to determine the most at-risk areas. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson expressed concern that the findings from the survey weren’t made public ahead of time to allow residents to come and speak to the issues at the transit commission meeting.

Manconi said that the data required explanations and had been compiled as a Powerpoint presentation form, which can’t be effectively distributed to the public.

He added there are plans to do focus groups with women, senior and youth groups to work on future safety plans.

Deans said she was happy to see the addition of the safety and security questions this year from past years. Some of the data can be compared from year to year, but several questions have been changed, removed or added.

The questions were broad to indicate general trends, instead of identifying specific areas of need, such as a particular park-and-ride’s safety, or for riders with disabilities.

“The survey certainly supports that we’re on the right direction in both council and transit commission priorities,” Manconi said. “We’ve already started to take action.”

creased safety and security measures are while people are waiting for the bus at stops, and when riding the bus at night.

“I’m really pleased we added so many questions around safety and security because it helps guide this transit committee in making future decisions,” she said.

The study showed that women feel safer in the presence of people, whereas men feel safer when more equipment, such as cameras, are installed.

OC Transpo is currently looking at different ways to improve safety, Manconi said.

Ideas include investigating the possibly of solar panel roofs on bus stop shelters to provide lighting after dark, and dressing the aroundthe-clock maintenance staff in uniforms that identify them as OC Transpo workers.

They investigated solar panels several years ago and the cost was high, but advancements in technology could make the project more cost effective now. Roofs could also be changed to allow more light into the shelters.

Olde Forge wants seniors, services to mingle steph.willems@metroland.com

Community - Throughout the city there exists a wide selection of products and services aimed at seniors, but finding out about them can often be challenging.

Olde Forge Community Resource Centre wants to make the introduction to those services easier through its annual spring fair, which doubles as a fundraiser for the centre. The April 24 event, modelled on last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successful fair, will see 38 local businesses and service providers set up shop at the Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre, with proceeds going to Olde Forgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seniors recreation program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The purpose is to introduce seniors and merchants from our area to each other, and let them know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s available,â&#x20AC;? said Olde Forge board chairwoman Mary Houston-Lambert. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to create a variety of opportunities for the seniors who attend.â&#x20AC;?

The resource centre is intent on fundraising in order to provide services to a

growing number of clients.

Currently, 2,200 people are regular users of Olde Forgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facilities and programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The number of people seeking these resources is growing, just as the number of seniors in our society is growing,â&#x20AC;? said HoustonLambert. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had over 2,500 calls last year from people seeking help.â&#x20AC;?

Olde Forge is a partner of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 211 service, where calls are referred to the centre if the city canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t provide the information the caller needs. The centre receives base funding from the city and the Champlain Local Health Integration Network, and has to apply each year for that funding.

Houston-Lambert said that fundraisers like this and donations from supporters are essential to meet the demand for their programs.

Among those programs are volunteer drivers to take seniors to appointments, weekly luncheons for isolated individuals, income tax clinics, and day programs for vulnerable seniors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a board, we decided we would make a greater

effort to obtain funding through grants and fundraising,â&#x20AC;? said Houston-Lam-

bert, adding that they hope to make the spring fair an annual tradition.

The spring fairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $10 ticket price includes lunch, and the doors open at the

Hope.

Ottawa South United Force – England English Premier League Academy Tour 2014 Memories of the recent March Break will be forever engraved in the minds of some very fortunate the OSU Force players who embarked on an ambitious and highly successful eight day OSU Force - Soccer Academy Tour of some of the world’s top soccer clubs in England.

SUBMITTED

University of Ottawa medical students will host the group’s annual Shave for a Cure event on April 9 to help raise money for childhood cancer research.

Med students lose hair for a cure Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - University of Ottawa medical students are going to have a few less hairs atop their heads as they aim to raise money for children’s cancer

research.

Smiling Over Sickness, the nonprofit, student-run organization is behind the event and organizer Tiffany Locke said she would like this year’s uOttawa Shave for a Cure: StBaldrick’s Foundation event to raise

at least $10,000 more than last year.

She said she hopes to collect donations by having participants shave their heads or to cut their locks to donate for wigs.

See ANNUAL, page 58

Two teams, comprising of twenty-two U14 and ten U11 boys from the club’s Force Academy travelled to England with Head Technical Coach Paul Harris and they were joined by other OSU coaching staff as well as OSU President, Bill Michalopulos, Jim Lianos, OSU GM and Hassan Nazari, Executive Director of OSU’s strategic partner in the in the USA, the Dallas Texans, who were able to conduct strategic and alliance discussions with some key English Premier clubs and people for future opportunities. The tour focussed on practicing with some of England’s most acclaimed Football Academies. Each player was coached by the very best of English Youth Academy staff at clubs including: Chelsea FC, Fulham FC, Manchester City FC and Liverpool FC. The Academy coaching sessions were run at some of England’s top sports training facilities and Academy venues.

In addition, the OSU tour provided an excellent opportunity to put players and teams to the test by playing select exhibition games scheduled throughout the week against some of England’s finest young soccer hopefuls. Both teams held their own against Fulham, Wrexham and Everton Academy teams, proving that they are capable of playing and competing at the highest level and reaffirming the coaching methodology at Ottawa South United is truly first class.

Between the Academy practices and exhibition games, there was time for other equally memorable activities. Visits to Arsenal’s Emirates stadium, Manchester United’s Old Trafford, Everton’s Goodison Park and an impromptu visit to Liverpool’s Anfield proved highly popular with all tour participants. As if this was not enough, the teams also watched a live English premier game and a live Championship Game, savouring the electric atmosphere and passion that is synonymous with English football and culture. There was even a little time to relax allowing the boys to take in the sights and sounds of London, Manchester and Liverpool.

OSU is very proud of every player who participated and represented the club.

The coaching staff received positive and sincere accolades for the standard of soccer that both teams achieved. This OSU Force exclusive professional tour of this nature, gives players an insight into English Academy Soccer and serves as benchmark the OSU’s club development.

“This exclusive tour is in line with OSU’s long term strategic plan of developing it’s global soccer network to benefit our players, our club and our coaches.

Exposing our teams and players to such famous soccer academies is not easy, one can not simply pick up the phone and make this happen. Our robust international soccer network, our alliances, our people and our club’s success over the years is what opens up these type of exclusive opportunities to our current players and to our future teams and players. It was very satisfying to see how well our players did, and how receptive these academies were to continuing and incremental collaboration” said President , Bill Michalopulos. R0012611719-0327

Event aims to raise $40,000 for Childhood Cancer Canada Continued from page 57

The event takes place at Ottawa Health Sciences Centre on April 9 “This is a great event that gives money to Childhood Cancer Canada,” Locke said.

“The money will provide education and support for children and their families, and the money will help with funding more research. The ultimate goal is to find a cure or improve the survival rate of patients living with cancer.”

The students have a close relationship working with children who have cancer.

Many of them participate in CHEO buddies – a program which pairs medical students with children at CHEO. The students offer support to the child and relief for the family. The buddies are matched at the beginning of the school year and remain paired until the child completes their care.

The university’s event re-

mains the largest university student-led Shave for a Cure event in Canada.

The students would like for as many Ottawa residents to come out to the event, either as participants or supporters because, as Locke said, the more people who come out the better chance the organizations can combat these childhood cancers.

The money will provide education and support for children and their families.

TIFFANY LOCKE

“I think it’s really important because you can really see this is a disease that has a big impact on children’s lives and on the family,” Locke said. “Our ultimate goal is to find cure or improve the sur-

vival of the patients.”

Aside from hair falling off the heads of medical students, there will be a silent auction, opportunties to give cash donations or visit and support those who are having their head shaved.

Locke said the group is still collecting items for the silent auction. To donate for the auction, contact James Bryan Fukakusa at bfuka014@uottawa.ca.

The event begins at 4:30 p.m. in the Atrium of Roger Guindon Hall.

There is a suggested donation of $10 at the door or $7 online.

Locke said there are still lots of opportunities to sign up online as a “shavee,” shaver or volunteer.

People can sign up to donate or support a participant at stbaldricks.org/events/uottawa/ All funds collected at the event will be donated to the Childhood Cancer Canada by means of the Baldrick’s Foundation.

Transportation authority looking at changes to school bell times Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - The Ottawa Student Transportation Authority is proposing to make bell time changes for all Ottawa-area schools starting in September 2015.

The moves would affect both the public and Catholic school boards and would involve changes to walking zones for certain schools. As a result, the authority will launch a number of public consultations across the city to present the changes to parents and to hear concerns starting on April 2.

According to the general manger for the authority, Vicky Kyriaco, the changes are aimed at making the organization more efficient.

The authority was established in 2007 in response to the Ministry of Education’s reform on transportation, which called on school boards across the province to develop partnerships and combine transportation departments.

According to the authority’s bylaws, Kyriaco said, it

can make bell time changes at schools of up to 10 minutes before needing to seek approval with the respective board.

Since these changes are greater than 10 minutes, the authority will seek a decision from both school boards in December 2014.

The route changes will allow for one bus to take students to three different schools, saving the boards an estimated $3.3 million.

These cost-savings, Kyriaco said, are based on what the authority believes is the most efficient system for buses and could change depending on feedback received at the consultations. According to the public school board, as many as 38,000 to 40,000 students require daily transportation to and from school. The walking distance is currently 800 metres for kindergarten children and 1.6 kilometres for grades 1 to 8. Grades 9 through 12 must walk if a student lives within 3.2 km of their school.

Parents are encouraged to view the maps, and depending on the routes, point out

concerns but there is little flexibility for changes to be made.

The consultations, which begin in April, will present specific plans to specific neighbourhood school zones.

“The most important message is that it is not written in stone, we do want to hear from the school communities,” Kyriaco said.

The changes follow a study of existing routes conducted by an outside firm that evaluated and highlighted potential safety hazards.

“There would be little which would surprise us there,” Kyriaco said.

The comments, she said, would still be welcome, because depending on the concern, any highlighted hazards could possibly be mitigated, adding the authority would work with the city to make certain street intersections more pedestrian-friendly.

Currently the proposed bell time changes and new walk zones are available to view at ottawaschoolbus.ca. An online survey is also available on the website for parents to fill out.

File

The Ottawa Student Transportation Authority will hold a number of consultations across the city concerning proposed bell time changes for all Ottawa-area schools.

The consultations begin at Brookfield High School on April 2. The meeting starts at 7 p.m.

A full list of where and when

the other 27 consultations will take place is available at ottawaschoolbus.ca/policies/transformation/meetings. Kyriaco said regardless of a particular

meeting date, parents can attend any meeting in the city to send in comments. The authority will also post the presentation information online.

Old construction pit cause of LRT sinkhole: report Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - An undocumented construction pit filled with loose material was the cause of the Feb. 20 sinkhole during light-rail tunnel construction in Sandy Hill.

But unless a sample was drilled exactly in the middle of the eight-metresquare pit, LRT constructor Rideau Transit Group would never have known about the soil anomaly, said the consortium’s technical director Peter Lauch.

RTG’s investigation found the tunnel crossed beneath a “previously excavated construction pit” under the city’s utilities. The material in the pit was “poor-quality, un-compacted backfill.”

Until the collapse happened, there was no cause for concern and the construction was proceeding as expected.

The surprise construction pit was much deeper than anything the city had

records of for that area, which was minor: three-metre trenches for utilities, put in before the Transitway was constructed there in the early 1980s.

“What we’re seeing here is an excavation that extended well below that three-metre depth and could not have been predicted,” Schepers said.

Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury said he’ll be asking questions to see whether there was some way to predict the incident, which didn’t result in any injuries.

“For me, it’s a concern of not knowing what’s there,” Fleury said. “This just re-affirms that we could have been in the zone but a metre or so off and not capture the poor soil there.

“I am not qualified to know if a metre makes a big difference (to the geotechnical investigation),” he said. “If it makes a difference, if it’s so critical … if really there is a relevance to the proximity and the exact location (of the tun-

nel), then there are other questions.”

Whether the boreholes were drilled directly on the tunnel route or next to it is irrelevant, said deputy city manager Nancy Schepers.

“What you’re trying to do is determine the native soils in the area,” she said. “You extrapolate between boreholes.”

“Ideally, you’d do one every metre, but that doesn’t make sense,” Lauch said. “So you rely on the information you have and people with good analytical skills.”

“Unless you would have drilled a borehole down right in the middle of where the sinkhole was, you wouldn’t have known,” he said.

Throughout construction, Rideau Transit Group actually did drill a number of supplementary boreholes to confirm soil conditions along the tunnel route – just not at the Waller Street and Laurier Avenue location where the

sinkhole occurred.

After the collapse, six more boreholes were drilled around Laurier Avenue to reconfirm rock conditions and another borehole was drilled in the sinkhole. RTG will continue to drill extra boreholes along the rest of the tunnel route in areas that warrant more scrutiny, such as where the tunnel comes close to the foundations of buildings, Lauch said. That was something the company had already planned to do.

Tunneling at the east portal, where the sinkhole occurred, had already resumed before Schepers sent a memo and report to city council on the morning of March 21 detailing the cause of the collapse. Both Lauch and Schepers said they are 100 per cent satisfied with the level of information they have about geotechnical conditions on the tunnel alignment, as well as the engineering experts who are guiding the project.

The soil above the section of tunnel

near the sinkhole is being propped up by “umbrella piping”: three layers of pipes fanned in an arch to give structural support to the roof of the tunnel.

As digging continues, RTG will bore a smaller-diameter tunnel to ensure there is at least two metres of bedrock above the tunnel until the route descends deeper underground on the north side of Laurier Avenue. The roadheader diggers will then go back to deepen the tunnel in the narrower section.

Despite the delay and extra work, Lauch said LRT construction is still on time overall, because digging at the other two tunnel portals is ahead of schedule. The light-rail line is set to go into service in the spring of 2018.

The cost of the delay and additional work is still being calculated, but RTG is responsible for covering the cost as part of its $2.1 billion contract to construct the line between Tunney’s Pasture and Blair stations.

Design your dream garden Wish you could give your garden an instant makeover? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to make a dramatic difference with accessories.

Fun fences! Faced with a concrete wall?

Put up a trellis or two for an instantly dramatic and elegant look. Play up the look even more by adding some climbing plants to highlight the trellis.

Blooms are in the Air! Hanging baskets add colour to an outdoor space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Choose large baskets like the PCÂŽ Jumbo Hanging Basket,â&#x20AC;? suggests Peter Cantley, garden guru at Loblaw Companies Limited. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The flowers are beautifully colour coordinated, and the basket is big and roomy and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so important because a larger soil ca-

pacity helps keep plants from drying out. For real impact try brightly coloured baskets like apple green or plum, which coordinate beautifully with flowersâ&#x20AC;&#x153; Rocky road! Add some pretty pebbles or stones around plant bases or arrange large, smooth rocks along the edges of a pathway.

This sophisticated look will draw attention to the shapes and curves in your yard.

Light of the Party! Proper lighting is essential for entertaining on summer evenings and for creating the perfect ambience in your gar-

den getaway. Light from candles, lamps or illuminated planters make a big difference with a splash of colour.

Light up planters can add fun and flair to your garden.

The PCÂŽ Solar Powered Multi-Colour Illuminated Planters light up in the evening and give your gatherings a lovely ambience.

They also make perfect containers for ice and bevvies during those summer parties too! www.newscanada.ca

Service dogs guide soldiers suffering with PTSD Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - George Villeneuve, a veteran from the Canadian Armed Forces, suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder. He has served in Cypress, Bosnia, Israel and Germany.

Villeneuve was in the hospital last June after trying to kill himself, when he learned about a program that provides guide dogs for soldiers suffering from PTSD. “I called right away, and I had a dog within a month,” Villeneuve said, adding some people wait as long as a year to receive their service dog.

“They (Guide Dogs Canada) happened to be doing a 50 veterans in 50 days campaign, so I was lucky,” he said.

Since Vardo, named for her gypsy dog ancestry, entered his life, there have been no thoughts of ending his life. He’s just happy she’s in it. Aside from helping with depression, service dogs can often detect high blood sugar

in diabetics and press handicap door buttons for their masters.

Villeneuve and long-time friend Daniel Drapeau were at the Alfred Taylor Community Centre in North Gower on March 14.

The Rideau and District Old Time Fiddlers were hosting a fundraiser to buy a

price on the dinners for an annual fee of $35. There are currently 190 paid memberships, but Irwin said the whole community pitches in when there’s a need.

“We want to thank all the private and corporate donations from Kemptville and the surrounding area, we wouldn’t be able to do

Dog spelled backwards is God. DANIEL DRAPEAU

Guide Dog – a cost of about $3,000 for a local vet.

Irwin White, president of the club, said the each year members get together and raise money for a good cause.

This year, the club’s executive voted on providing a service dog to a vet.

The club was established in 1984 and is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year.

They do 12 dinner and dances each year. The club’s members get a discounted

it without the help,” White said, adding he thought the service dog program was a great idea.

Drapeau, whose dog Kenya, helps him keep balance so he doesn’t need crutches, said the dog returned his faith.

“We have seen so many things that make you question whether or not there is a God, but it’s easy to believe with Kenya around. Dog spelled backwards is God.”

Tyler Follett tyler.follett@metroland.ca

Arts - A popular local artist’s exhibit currently on display at the Ottawa Art Gallery is sure to send some people on a trip down memory lane.

Colin White, Ottawa-based since 2006, is displaying and selling his series of corner store illustrations, called ‘Confectionaries’.

The idea to sketch a number of the city’s historic corner stores came to White by accident. He was commissioned in 2010 to do an illustration of Mike’s Corner Store, on the corner of Elm and Rochester, by the owner’s son, Charlie.

“I do my work in sessions, couple of hours here and there, and spent a lot of time working on that one,” said White.

While working on it, he was struck by how many residents had not only a connection to the building or store, but a strong one at that.

“People were really curious what I was doing, I met a lot of people there who all had a great story about that place,” he said.

Because of the popularity and significance the building among residents in the neighborhood, White was unable to tell the passerby the whole story about why he was there.

The reason Charlie commissioned White to do the illustration of the store was because his parents were selling the building.

“I told people what I was basically doing, but I couldn’t tell them the building was actually sold because so many of them were fans of it,” he said.

The new owners ended up keeping the business, and Mike’s Corner Store remains one of Ottawa’s landmarks.

The high number of interesting people with tales to tell impressed White, including a number of personal stories of the connections between residents and their neighborhood corner store.

He was impressed enough to take it upon himself to find similar locales, taking suggestions from friends.

“That’s what triggered me thinking about these buildings, the stories,” said White.

“I put something on Facebook asking for the best corner stores in people’s neighborhoods.”

He had a set of standards in mind, including a conventional and residential neighborhood, not a main street.

He was looking for local businesses, rather than chains.

White ended up finding and sketching a number of stores that fit the bill.

He encountered the same kind of people as he did while sketching Mike’s Corner Store, with different kinds of problems.

Two to three months after finishing his sketch of Giovanni’s on Booth St., the owners replaced an old, rustic 7-Up sign with a modern updated sign, significantly altering the appearance.

“It had been slowly transitioning away from a corner store to more of Kanata Kourier-Standard

a café and they replaced the old sign, which I thought was beautiful,” said White.

“I can understand why they did it, wanting to have their name on the sign, but they did it in a way that didn’t maintain the original aesthetic of the building.”

The debate building and storeowners go through about attempts to update or modernize their appearance is very real.

“It was interesting to see how quickly it can be physically changed

after staying the same for so long,” White said.

Having attended art school in Toronto, Montreal and London, England, White moved to Ottawa in 2006.

Growing up an hour or so outside of Ottawa, he knew little about it, aside from the government town reputation.

Upon his arrival, he found the art community both inviting and tight-knit.

Starting, essentially from scratch, he had to take it on himself to explore and discover the community.

“The interesting thing about Otta-

BYLAW BUSINESS

Current bylaws exist to prevent corner stores from being built in residential areas. Under the bylaw, if you built an apartment building you would not be able to put a corner store on the bottom floor.

When a building with an existing corner store is sold, under current law the new owner must keep the corner

store open or it is gone forever, to be replaced with housing.

The city is now contemplating scrapping the bylaws after conducting a survey earlier this year to get resident opinions. The survey asked if people are still interested in corner stores, and the city actually ended up purchasing and using some of White’s works for the project.

“It’s interesting seeing them change their mind about these buildings, and also that I was involved in a roundabout way,” he said.

Unsurprisingly, White supports the stores and removal of the bylaw.

Confectionaries will be on display at the Ottawa Art Gallery on 2 Daly Avenue until April 5.
