KITCHENS

Two male teens – one 15 and one 16 – have been charged in relation to a swarming in south Kanata after they allegedly attacked and robbed someone, say police. A pellet gun is believed to have been involved.

The robbery unit is investigating after police responded to a report of a swarming near Eagleson and Hazeldean roads at about 9:40 p.m. on April 4, they said in a news release.

The victim of the swarming arranged to meet with an individual at a given location, but instead encountered the two suspects, said police. The nature of the meeting is still being investigation, said police spokesman Const. Chuck Benoit.

The victim was thrown to the ground and assaulted, with a 15-year-old suspect pointing a handgun at the victim, police said.

However, the victim defended themselves with a small knife, resulting in both suspects suffering minor cuts.

The suspects fled with the victim’s backpack and wallet. However, they were located nearby soon after, with police having

received information that they had disembarked from an OC Transpo bus.

The victim’s property and the firearm were located following police canine tracking, said police.

“The firearm was determined to be a pellet gun,” said the news release.

Some residents reported online that police cars blocked off Glamorgan Drive and part of Castlefrank Road on April 3 at about 10:20 p.m. Benoit said that, though he could not say for sure if those blocked off streets were related, he said it was likely.

“The incident occurred and they did have canine attending, so from that point we kind of coordinate and shut off any kind of pedestrian (access to eliminate) people walking through a scene or the possibilities of contaminating certain areas where we’re looking.

“So a lot of times we will shut down certain areas so that there is no traffic that passes within our cordoned off area.”

The suspects have been charged jointly with robbery with a firearm, conspiracy, using a firearm to commit and offence.

The 15-year-old was also charged with pointing a firearm, and the 16-year-old was additionally charged with wearing a disguise.

The suspects were scheduled to appear in court on April 4.

Benoit said it is possible that the victim could be charged, but added he does not believe investigators are looking to do that.

“In matters like this there is always a possibility because you are taking matters into your own hands,” however the circumstances of the incident do make a difference, he said.

Benoit added a warning to the public, saying that, when meeting an unknown person or persons, it is best to do so in a well-lit public area where many other people are present.

Fat Tuesdays is moving from its home on York Street to the Kanata Centrum shopping centre.

Fat Tuesdays moving to Kanata Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The iconic Fat Tuesdays, with its Cajun food, duelling pianos and Mardi Gras party atmosphere is coming to Kanata.

The club is closing it’s location in the ByWard Market after 14 years.

Manny Garcia, one of the managing partners of the club, said they couldn’t pass up the deal they got for a space in the Kanata Centrum shopping centre.

The club will take the place of the former Skirt Steak restaurant, located near a multiplex movie theatre and a Wal-Mart at the Kanata shopping complex.

“It was a great deal and we are excited to move to Kanata; it’s a great neighbourhood,” Garcia said, adding their information says that people in the suburbs are willing to come out and party like they’re in New Orleans.

The Velvet Room – the city’s only 25 and up nightclub – will continue to operate upstairs at the York Street location in the market, and Garcia said the new space at the Centrum will be divided in half to accommodate another Velvet Room location in addition to Fat Tuesdays.

“It will be half and half,” he said. “The Velvet Room will be in the back, and Fat Tuesdays will be in the front.”

Garcia said it would likely be late spring or early summer before the doors open at the Kanata location.

He added that a lot of staff come from nearby schools and will be welcome at the new digs, but it’s likely they’ll look for work closer to the downtown location.

“We will be holding a job fair soon,” Gar-

cia said.

Fat Tuesdays was at the York Street spot for 14 years, and while they had a good run, it’s time for a move.

Garcia said the winter months in the market are tough, and fewer people are walking in.

Phil Waserman, co-chair of the ByWard Market Business Improvement Area, who is also one of the managing partners for the Courtyard Restaurant, said that his venue is more a destination place for weddings and events, but he too has seen a decline in walkin traffic in the last number of years.

AFTER HOURS STARBUCKS

Waserman confirmed rumours that Starbucks Evenings – the traditional coffee shop with the addition of craft beer and wine served after 4 p.m. – will be taking Fat Tuesdays’ place in the market.

The concept is a relatively new one, and there are only a handful of locations across the globe.

“I think it’s telling that they chose the (ByWard) Market as a place to roll one out,” Waserman said, adding he sees the change as good news – provided the market doesn’t become over run with coffee shop chains.

“I think we have a good mix of independent coffee houses,” he said.

According the Starbucks website, 70 per cent of Starbucks customers drink wine, as compared to 30 per cent of the general U.S. population. Starbucks customers are also twice more likely to drink craft beer than the national average, their research shows.

The first Starbucks Evenings menu was unveiled in Seattle, Wash., in 2010.

Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, April 7, 2016 5

Rural residents speak out about aquifer, traffic concerns Continued from page 1

The plan calls for four locations for schools, in addition to the existing St. Isidore Catholic School.

Each of the school boards have a site for a new school under this plan, with all but one being for elementary schools.

Senior project manager with Novatech, Murray Chown, presented the preferred land use plan for the area, located northwest of Celtic Ridge Crescent, Windance Crescent and Old Carp Road, and extends just north of the church.

The majority of commercial uses are designated for the east side of March, as it is anticipated the majority of traffic will be going north along March Road on the way home from work, giving drivers easy, right-turn access to stores, said Chown.

Some commercial uses will be available for the south-west of March Road, with a greater amount of

residential multi-unit zones as well. A park-and-ride and fire hall – planned to replace the fire hall further north on rural on Riddell Drive – are shown just south of St. Isidore school.

Four parks are shown in the plan, with a large, community park abutting March Road on the south-west side.

A significant woodlot was also identified just outside of the urban expansion area, on the north-east side of the CN railway corridor. That land will be gifted to the city, said Chown, adding that arriving at that decision was a complicated process. A large storm water management facility to be built near it, providing for a pleasing environmental area.

Under this preferred land use plan, creek corridors will be either preserved or re-aligned, and a hedgerow separating new development and existing residential south of the urban expansion land.

The meeting took place

at St. Isidore Roman Catholic Church, which is located within the urban expansion area, on March 30.

West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry, in whose ward the land is currently located, and Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson were in attendance, along with city planners and Novatech Engineering employees who presented the plan to nearby residents.

The plan, the latest of dozens of iterations since the process began in 2013, is the result of a series of public meetings and workshops.

COMMUNITY CONCERN

One attendee asked Chown if he could guarantee that development of this land would have no negative impact on the aquifer in the area. Homes north of the planned construction are on well water instead of city pipes.

Adam Kveton/Metroland

About 200 people listen as engineers and city planners explain their preferred land use plan for the urban expansion area north of Kanata North, which was presented on March 30 for the public’s information and input. tant group engaged for this plan are “convinced that there will be no impact,” but added that, if there is a problem with the quality of water in the area, developers will have to solve the problem.

Developers will also monitor the quality of various wells.

The resident asked if the amount of water being drawn from wells will also be monitored. Chown said the city generally doesn’t require that the amount of water be monitored, but he reiterated that if there is an issue with water, the developers involved will be required to solve that problem.

Chown discussed the plan for the expansion of March Road from two lanes to four, eventually with a bus corridor down the middle.

A resident asked if that expansion will be done before development starts, alleviating increased use of the

road by trucks and construction equipment.

Chown said the road widening will not be completed by then, and explained that he does not believe the city has the money to pay for the expansion until after 2031.

However, the city will be monitoring to see when traffic pressures are such that the expansion is needed, and when money is available. Developers have agreed to front-end that expansion.

Another resident expressed concern over connectivity between the future community and the existing ones, saying the only real access is via March Road.

Chown said that has “been a bit of a sore point,” saying the city is not prepared to build new roads in the surrounding rural area for the purposes of this community, and that the only other real access to the south would be by Old Carp Road or Halton Terrace to

COMMENTING

Comments and suggestions regarding the land use plan can be submitted to city planner Wendy Tse by emailing kanatacdp-pcc@ottawa. ca. Comments will then be considered by city staff as the Kanata North community design plan, environmental master plans, master servicing study and transportation master plan.

After that, city staff will initiate the Official Plan amendment process.

The public may also comment during the environment committee meeting when the plan is addressed, said ElChantiry.

Asked when people can expect developers to start submitting applications, Chown estimated that may start at the end of this year, with subdivisions being registered in 2018.

No need to take a bitter pill

W

hat’s your food of choice?

When you’re sad, lonely and depressed, do you reach for the ice-cream bucket, the oh-so-sweet cliché of TV sitcoms and RomComs? When you’re angry, do you opt for bitter and salty foods?

Or could it be that eating bitter foods made you angry in the first place?

We think of the connection between food and body as a modern phenomenon.

But for at least 1,000 years of human history, philosophers have examined the link between mood and diet.

“Let your food be your medicine, and your medicine be your food,” is a quote attributed to Hippocrates, a Greek physician, who lived 400 years before Christ.

Over the last several decades, researchers have attempted to make links between food and the mind to cure depression, pre-menstrual syndrome and anxiety. One piece of conclusive evidence from the research is that food, generally, does affect the way we think and feel, even in the moment. It can bring good memories to the surface or make us feel angry.

Using food as medicine, however, falls short because, inversely, our mood also affects the way we experience food.

Because food affects

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse people and people affect food in many different ways, there is no clear way to cure depression, PMS or anxiety purely through diet. In fact, many of the theories out there seem to contradict one another.

And yet, back in the late 1980s, a couple of scientists surnamed Wurtman posited that eating a diet rich in carbohydrates could have a

positive impact on seasonal affective disorder, PMS and obesity. Protein, on the other hand, they argued, decreased serotonin levels and contributed to greater depression. The Wurtman science falls down as complete for a number of reasons, primarily because the calories ingested in a carbohydrate-rich diet often negates the positive effects

Janet Electrolysis

Waxing

on mood. But the science still has its followers.

What if, on the other hand, some of us are simply more drawn to certain tastes and averse to others?

In a series of tests on lab rats in 2012, Nancy Dess, a professor of psychology at Occidental College in Los Angeles and her colleagues set out to prove that some of us are genetically wired to be more sensitive to certain tastes. They concluded that rats, who are more sensitive to bitterness, were more stressed out and subversive than those who

appreciated taste. The more sensitive to bitter tastes, the more nervous and socially awkward they were likely to be.

On the other hand, those who like bitter tastes – coffee, lemons or hops, for example – may naturally be more manipulative and exhibit anti-social personality traits than others, according to a study published by the journal Appetite earlier this year.

Our mood – always in flux—also has a direct effect on how we taste things, according to a research summarized in Reader’s Digest.

When we’re sad or angry, we become more sensitive to bitter foods and desensitized to sweet foods, accord-

ing to one study Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia. When we’re feeling low or stressed out our ability to taste sweetness is diminished, so we have to eat more of a food to satisfy our sweet craving.

Food science is far from perfect. Sadly, there’s no bitter or sweet pill that can magically cure any of us.

Balance is key.

So I’ll just sip my bitter morning coffee and hope it doesn’t lead me to manipulate those around me. If I notice an adverse reaction, I’ll balance out the bitterness with some of those tiny chocolate Easter eggs later this morning and see if it invigorates a positive memory to improve my mood.

Still two sets of rules for the same service

T

he City of Ottawa’s review of its car for hire polices and regulations gets one thing right, and a lot that is still wrong.

Yes, it’s 2016 so the notion that you can stop a service such as the app-based Uber ride share operation is impossible.

Once the genie is out of the bottle, it’s impossible to put it back in.

But the recommendations that were put forward on March 31 after the city released its review of the taxi and limousine bylaw treat two things that are essentially the same thing differently, with two sets of rules for what are both, in fact, taxi services.

There are nearly 70 recommendations in the report – one of them being to allow ride-sharing programs, such as Uber to operate legally.

That is the thing the city got right.

What it got wrong is to treat Uber and the rules its drivers must operate under, differently from what taxi companies must adhere to.

Uber calls itself a “ride sharing” service, but the reality is that Uber operates exactly like

a taxi service except for the fact that it wants to call itself a “ride sharing” service. The difference in how these businesses operate is semantics.

It is perfectly understandable that the traditional taxi industry is fuming over what the city is recommending.

Coun. Diane Deans can say the city has “taken the handcuffs off the taxi industry,” but the traditional taxi industry still must follow rules and operate under a different set of regulations than its direct competition.

“Nothing about this is fair,” said Amrik Singh, who is the president of Unifor Local 1688, which represents taxi drivers. “The rules are supposed to be the same for everyone.”

One would think that is the way it should be, but the idea of a level playing field for all car for hire operations in the city has bitten the dust.

Yes, it is 2016 and the age of new technologies is well established. But when did the idea of fairness and a level playing field go out of style?

When a springtime pond is more than just a pond

T

here’s a pond that’s not supposed to be there in the park.

Every year around this time it appears - a goodsized little lake, maybe a foot deep at its deepest point, formed by melting snow. As it shrinks it begins to be more like a giant puddle.

Some day, maybe, somebody will do something about it.

But I hope not. Kids wade into it. Dogs love to run through it. They drag sticks into the middle of it and drop them. It is interesting to ponder why they do that.

Gulls and even ducks float on it. And when the pond freezes over, as it can in these uncertain temperatures, people even skate on it.

I like that it is unplanned,

And because facilities are limited and time is scarce, activities have to be organized.

When you see boys and girls playing hockey, baseball or soccer, now, it is probable that they have team uniforms on.

There’s a lot to be said for that, but there’s something to be said also for kids just throwing a ball or playing soccer in the park, with no referees and their own rules.

That’s why the instant pond is so nice. There are no rules for a giant puddle, except for the ones you make up. There are no uniforms, except for rubber boots, no equipment, except for sticks you throw in for the dogs to chase.

ence in our daily lives, you’ll fear that the pond/giant puddle’s days are numbered. A concerned parent might call city hall and demand that it be filled in. A kid might catch cold or the standing water might breed mosquitos, or something. Sports organizations might not like the unevenness of the field and ask that it be leveled out.

In a way it’s a miracle that something like that has not taken place.

It’s also a miracle that some expert on recreation didn’t put up a play structure there and then take the play structure down later because of safety concerns.

Those things could still happen. But they haven’t so far. The pond has been in existence for quite a few years now, arriving just before spring, disappearing some time in May. Maybe it’s because city hall has better things to do, higher priorities than a low spot in a park.

also possible that, each year, by the time somebody decides to do something about it, the pond is gone. You can see them pulling up, with their trucks, unloading lots of equipment, only to find that there is nothing there.

It could be any of these things.

Or maybe, heaven forbid, it could be common sense. Stranger things have happened.

City recommends LRT changes for phase two Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

The city will recommend two changes to the second phase of light rail transit in Ottawa as the environmental assessment is released.

The assessment is for the Confederation Line East Extension, which spans from Blair station to a terminal at Place d’Orléans, with plans to eventually go to Trim Road.

The two recommended changes are: • Use the existing transitway east of Blair station to pass under Blair Road and the highway ramps, and then cross over into the me-

dian of highway 174 near the existing transit overpass • Relocate Montreal Road station into the median of the highway to allow for station entry on each side of Montreal Road. The change will avoid relocating hydro lines and avoid geotechnical challenges that exited east of Montreal Road.

According to the city, the changes will reduce implementation costs.

The changes have been incorporated into the Environmental Project Report that is available until April 29 at the following locations in Ottawa during regular business hours: • Ministry of the Environ-

ment and Climate Change Ottawa District Office, 2430 Don Reid Dr. • Carleton University’s MacOdrum Library, 1125 Colonel By Dr. • University of Ottawa’s Morisset Library, 65 University Private • City Hall information desk, 110 Laurier Ave. West • Ottawa Public Library main branch, 120 Metcalfe St. • North Gloucester library branch, 2036 Ogilvie Rd. • Orléans library branch 1705 Orléans Blvd.

McCrimmon asks for electoral reform input Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Kanata-Carleton MP Karen McCrimmon is preparing to poll her constituents on electoral reform.

But rather than asking what electoral model they prefer, she is asking “what principles you believe would be critical to (a new election model’s) design.”

That’s the idea outlined in a newsletter McCrimmon’s office is in the process of sending.

REFORM PLEDGE

The Trudeau government has pledged to convene an all-party parliamentary committee to review a wide variety of reforms, such as ranked ballots, proportional representation, mandatory voting and online voting.

In McCrimmon’s newsletter, there is a questionnaire with 15 principles, including space for “other” ideas, which constituents can check off as being important to them.

These include things like: • “decrease in election spending,” • “reduce the power of political parties,”

• “provide independent candidates an opportunity to earn a seat,” • “a system that has a higher chance of creating majority governments.”

The questionnaire then asks for a name, address and phone number, after which it can be cut out, folded and dropped in a mailbox. The questionnaire will also be available on McCrimmon’s website.

Explaining the reasoning behind doing the questionnaire based on principles rather than electoral models, McCrimmon said, “What happens when you are trying to build consensus or you are trying to get people to agree on things, sometimes people take a position and they get stuck on the position or a label or a word and I think if I ask people, ‘Well, what kind of principles would you like?’ then they won’t get stuck.”

The plan is to share the data collected from the questionnaire with Minister for Democratic Institutions Maryam Monsef, who has been charged with leading the development of a new electoral system.

“She feels the very same way (with regards to people being stuck on one position),” said McCrimmon. “She wants to understand the principles

Adam Kveton/Metroland

Kanata-Carleton MP Karen McCrimmon’s questionnaire on electoral reform will soon be on the way to constituents. The questionnaire, which asks constituents what principles are important to them when developing a new electoral system, is expected to be in the mail early in the week of April 11. The Trudeau Liberals have committed to improving our voting system before the next federal election. behind whatever system they end up designing.”

The results of the questionnaire will also be shared with constituents during a town hall meeting McCrimmon is setting up, sched-

process she is setting up will be similar to the national process yet to begin.

She said she expects the questionnaires to be in the mail early in the week of April 11.

Consultation at city hall a drizzle compared to rural areas Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Residents trickled into the city’s public consultation meeting on new options for the city’s stormwater, water and wastewater rates at city hall on March 30.

The city’s proposed changes to water rates haven’t drawn much ire from residents in the core, said Capital Coun. and environment committee chair David Chernushenko.

“People may not like the change, but they can live with it,” he said.

While the city’s proposals include tweaks to the water rate, many residents have taken issue with the new stormwater fees.

A meeting held in West Carleton the day before was standing room only, and 50 people were turned away because there wasn’t room at the West Carleton Community Complex.

Dixon Weir, general manager of environmental services, said residents hooked up to the city’s water have been subsidizing the work on ditches and culverts, which are primarily located in rural areas.

That’s one of the reasons that the proposed rate restructure

would include added fees for rural residents on well and septic.

Rural residents would be on the hook for $2 million for stormwater management.

The city’s total stormwater management annual budget is $42 million, with $8.4 million allocated to the rural area.

Currently, the wastewater and stormwater fee is combined into the sewer rate, which is only funded by people connected to city pipes.

REVENUES

Isabelle Jasmin, the city’s deputy treasurer, said that one of the reasons for the change is a dip in revenues.

While it’s a good thing residents are conserving water, it means revenues have gone down, while capital costs for maintenance have stayed the same.

“Right now the rate structure isn’t aligned with the benefit,” Jasmin said.

Jasmin said the new rate structure would include a fixed rate, as well as a reduction in the cost for volumetric use.

Most residents would see a $9 charge per month for water and a separate $8 charge for waste-

water. The idea would bring in a fixed amount of money to cover costs.

Jasmin said the increase to residents would be minimal.

Adele Muldoon, who made the trek to city hall from West Carleton, said the city should have kept it the way it was before amalgamation.

Before that, residents paid an annual fee for the maintenance of ditches and culverts.

Muldoon says the ditches are now poorly maintained, adding one of her neighbours has trees growing in her ditch.

OPTION

The three options presented to fund stormwater service at the meeting included: • A flat rate: all customers pay the same amount.

• An assessment-based rate: uses property assessment values to allocate the charge, excluding farmland and forested land.

• Rate based on hard surface area: a flat rate based on the average hard surface area by property type.

That means a rural home valued at $360,000, with about 250-square-metres of hard sur-

face area would see a monthly storm water fee of: • $5.94 under a flat rate; • $6.75 under an assessmentbased rate; • $9.29 under a hard surface area rate.

One resident said the city’s assumptions that a single family detached home in the rural area is the same as in the city is flawed.

Another resident said the classifications were crude and there should be incentives built into the rate structure for people who do work to mitigate run-off from their land.

But Chernushenko said that might be putting the cart before the horse.

“The environment committee had a number of factors to look

at during the review, including conservation that we had to prioritize,” he said. “But they were all important, which had the impact of diluting things.”

Chernushenko said that definitions might be a bit crude, but have a highly complex system of determining the hard surface on a property might be costly.

“We can’t send someone out to every property with a watering can and a stop watch,” he said.

Chernushenko said it’s possible that the system can be implemented and then residents can look to the next term of council to beef up incentive programs.

The last public consultation on the proposed rate restructuring is at the Nepean Sportsplex on April 7 at 7 p.m.

Allan Hubley Positive Change for Kanata South

City Councillor Kanata South Week in Review Thank you to all the residents who came out to the second Proud to be Parent information night, featuring guest speaker Paul Davis. This event was co hosted by Proud to be Me (www.proudtobeme.ca) and I would also like to thank the many community partners who came out to offer valuable resources to our community. I would also like to thank the Kanata Theatre for helping with this event.

I look forward to hosting other information nights in the future, so check back here for details!

Potholes Potholes are a result of the freeze/thaw weather cycles that deteriorate our road surfaces. During the freeze/thaw, water seeps into the crevices of the road. Fluctuations in temperature, vibrations and traffic volumes all create stress on the asphalt road surface, which can result in potholes.

IMPORTANT: • Please call 3-1-1 if the pothole issue is related to the following: o Construction activity (square or rectangular cut in road) o An immediate hazard to people or property o Personal accessibility o A traffic-related issue (such as traffic signals or traffic signs) • For all emergency requests call 3-1-1. If this service is not available to you please call 613-580-2400. All other Service Requests will be triaged and addressed as operations allow.

You can also report a pothole online on the City’s website: http://ottawa.ca/en/serviceottawa/roads-and-transportation/pothole-road

Catch Basins in the Road It’s normal for water to pool around a catch basin in wet weather. Roads are designed to drain based on the sewer capacity. While many residents are able to clear the catch basins themselves of small debris, you may create a service request to advise the City of a catch basin (drain cover) that is: • Blocked (causing flooding on the road) • Missing • Sunken or raised • Broken You will be required to provide: • The street name and number or street name and intersection closest to where the catch basin is located.

Ottawa businesswomen create race for $15,000 house down payment Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

A pair of local businesswomen have banded together to create an event they say is unique in Ottawa – a scavenger hunt with a $15,000 prize towards a house.

Colleen Lyle, a team leader at Keller Williams Ottawa Realty, and mortgage agent Sue Hameed created the Ottawa House Hunt event, which will take place on May 7 at the Crazy Horse restaurant in the Kanata Centrum shopping centre.

The two learned of a similar and very successful event being done in the U.S., said Hameed.

“We talked about it and we said, ‘Hey, what the heck, let’s just do it,’” she said.

Though sponsors have come forward to help with advertising, creating the event’s website and other details, the prize money is coming straight from Lyle and Hameed, she said.

“We are gifting the grand prize ourselves,” said Hameed.

The plan is for teams of two to register by paying $25 each to enter, with all of the proceeds from the tickets going to the Ottawa Senators Foundation’s Campership Program.

Then the teams will have one hour to complete a scavenger hunt at the Kanata Centrum and in various stores located there.

Participants in a new scavenger hunt event will race to win a $15,000 down payment on a house on May 7. Two Ottawa businesswomen have put together Ottawa House Hunt, which in addition to awarding one lucky duo, will raise money for the Ottawa Senators Foundation. “(The teams) are going to have a list of items they have to collect, or tasks to complete,” said Hameed. “At the end, the horn is going to be blown and everybody has got to come back to the initial meeting spot and we will find out who’s the winner.”

But if you ask Hameed or Lyle to tell you what kinds of things teams will have to do, they can’t quite say because even they don’t know. Only the

event planner will, said Hameed.

“We are actually not going to be aware of any of the clues or answers just so that it’s completely legit and there is no talk of anybody knowing answers prior,” she said.

The winning team will then receive $15,000 to put towards the down payment on a house.

Lyle and Hameed said their initial interest in staring this kind of event was due to what

they’ve observed while doing their jobs.

“What I’m seeing often in my business is you have people who have finished school, they have a student loan, they have a fantastic job and they just haven’t been able to save up the money (for a down payment),” said Hameed. “Their income is fantastic, credit is great, everything is lined up. It’s just getting over that hump to putting away for savings.”

A win could also help renters who are paying the equivalent of a mortgage payment every month.

In addition to the grand prize, there will be prizes for some runners up, said Hameed, and perhaps more.

The Sens camp program was selected because the money gets used locally and the very next summer, said Hameed.

“It’s something dear to our hearts,” she said of the program.

They hope to raise between $5,000 and $10,000 for the foundation, they said. So far 20 teams have registered for the event, though they are hoping for 100 or more.

They also hope to make the event an annual affair, said Hameed.

Kanata Artists Studio Tour turns 25 Twenty five years ago the Kanata Artists Studio Tour began. It gave the public an opportunity to view art in a home setting and talk to the artists. As every painting has a story, the conversations were lively.

This year to celebrate our anniversary, the format has changed. The exhibit will be under one roof at, 1203 Maritime Way, Kanata. Ten artists will set up a display

in the lobby of the newest building at Williams Court.

Several artists who have been involved in the tour in the past will also display a work of art, as well as beginning artists learning their craft - Past, Present and Future!

This will be an extraordinary show, with photography, textile art and paintings of all subjects, sizes and media. As each artist creates in

a different way, the work is original and unique. The exhibit will be on display Saturday April 30 and Sunday May 1, 2016 from 10:00am to 5:00pm each day.

Come and help us celebrate our 25th year with 25 artists under one roof.

Check out our web site: Kanata Artists Studio Tour. com. The vernissage is Saturday April 30, from 5pm to 7pm.

How to

choose a

Summer Camp Matt Barr

Summer is a great time for kids. They need to get away from the everyday stress of school as much as adults need to get away from their full time jobs.

What better way to help kids relax and enjoy their time off than to send them to summer camp? (By the way, this gives parents a nice break too.)

Before you make a camp decision for your child, there are a lot of factors to consider. You will want to do your homework before you drop your child off for the day to be cared for by people you hardly know. It’s not easy. There are so many camps to consider and they come in all shapes and sizes. There are day camps, overnight camps, golf camps, horseback riding camps and science camps to name a few.

Here are some general considerations: Your child’s interests What does your child like to do? Children know what they like and don’t like. Ask them for their input. If your child is active and loves to play sports, a sports camp is probably right for him or her.

If your child is creative, then choose a camp that offers arts and crafts. Camp choices are as varied as children themselves. Choose a camp with the specific focus geared toward your child.

Day camp versus overnight camp Depending on the age, maturity and independence of your child, he or she may or may not be ready for an overnight camp. Some overnight camps accept children as young as six years old. Only you can decide when the time is right.

Convenient location Location is important because you will have to drop off and pick up your child every day. You’ll want to consider your drive time and also keep in mind the hours of the camp.

Cost Of course, the cost is something to consider. The cost of camp should reflect the service provided. When comparing camps by price make sure that you are comparing apples to apples. Some camps include lunches, while others include snacks, t-shirts, hats, extended hours and off site field trips. Price alone, can be misleading. I’ve always believed, “You get what you pay for”.

3. What is the ratio of campers to counselors? Ratios of 8:1 are common.

A maximum of 10:1 is probably the maximum ratio you would want.

Research With pencil in hand, contact the camps you are considering and ask some specific questions. Not all camps are created equal, so ask the same questions to each camp director and compare their answers. You need to feel comfortable with their answers before you make your choice. This is not an exhaustive list, but here are a few questions to get you started:

4. Are snacks or a lunch provided? Is the lunch program optional or mandatory?

1. Who do you hire as counselors? Are they experienced? How old are they?

Are they certified in CPR and First Aid? Have they undergone a criminal record check?

8. Can you provide a list of references or testimonials? Word of mouth is the best reference. Ask around and find out where other parents are sending their children.

2. What are your hours for the camp program? for pre and post camp care? Is there an additional cost for extended hours?

9. How are different age groups divided?

5. What do you do on rainy days?

Are your facilities air-conditioned?

6. Do the children swim every day?

What are your rules for supervision at the pool? Is there a wading pool for young campers?

7. Do you offer any discounts?

10. What if my child doesn’t like the camp? Do you offer a guarantee?

What is your cancellation policy?

11. Where can I find more information about your camp? Do you have a web-site? Can I register online? Can I pay by credit card?

The best way to determine if a particular camp is right for you is to ask a lot of questions. Camp directors are used to answering questions about every detail of camp. If you don’t get the answers you are looking for, keep searching. You need to feel good about your decision.

After all, you want your child to have an awesome camp experience that will forge memories to last a lifetime.

Libraries take to Twitter to talk fair ebook pricing Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The Ottawa Public Library is part of a nationwide charge for fairer ebook pricing, said library board chair and Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney.

Tierney presented a resolution at a Federation of Canadian Municipalities meeting in early March calling on Heritage Minister Mélanie Joly to look at legislation that will deal with what he calls an unfair markup on ebook pricing for libraries. Libraries can pay as much as three times to purchase the same ebook that the general public purchases.

Tierney said he’s pleased that the federation, which represents 2,000 member municipalities across the country, passed the resolution.

“I think it’s a clear message that some action needs to be taken,” he said.

Unfortunately, it’s not something the general public is aware of, said Tierney.

Raising awareness is why a consortium of public libraries across the country called Canadian Public Libraries for Fair Ebook Pricing hosted a Twitter chat on March 31.

Tierney said the Ottawa, Edmonton and Toronto libraries have taken the lead on the Twitter campaign.

that’s not for unlimited uses,” Tierney said, adding that in some cases the purchase only includes a finite number of leases.

“It’s not like you can

check out multiple copies of the ebooks either,” Tierney said. “It has to be returned before another user checks it out.”

The campaign is aimed at five major multinational publishers: Harper Collins, MacMillan Publishers, Penguin Random House, Hachette Book Group, and Simon and Schuster.

Tierney said the cost of ebooks is prohibitive since the price of one electronic copy is more than nearly 10 paperbacks.

“Ottawa has been fortunate that we have the budget to expand our electronic selection, but it has hit smaller municipalities really hard,” he said.

Hydro Ottawa fined $225,000 after worker killed in 2012 2 others injured while working near power lines Hydro Ottawa Ltd. has been found guilty and fined $225,000 following a trial after one worker was killed and two others suffered injuries.

On March 22, 2012, workers employed by a subcontractor were engaged in the installation of new hydro poles and wires under existing energized lines on Moodie Drive south of Fallowfield Road.

Three workers were excavating a hole when the boom of a work vehicle came within three metres of a power line which was located about six metres above the hole. All three workers received electrical shocks,

with one worker succumbing to the injuries at the hospital. The two other workers sought medical attention at the hospital and did not suffer permanent physical injuries.

A Ministry of Labour investigation followed the incident.

After a trial, Hydro Ottawa Ltd. was found guilty, as a constructor, of violating three sections of the constructions projects regulation. These were: * failing to ensure the boom of a vehicle was not brought within three metres of an energized overhead conductor of 750 or more volts; * failing to ensure a competent worker designated as a signaler was stationed so as to be in full view of an operator and had a clear view of the electrical conductor and of the vehicle, to warn the operator every time any

part of the vehicle or other equipment may approach the minimum distance; and * failing to take every reasonable precaution to prevent hazards to workers from energized electrical equipment, installation and conductors.

The company was fined $225,000 in provincial court

by Justice of the Peace Brian Mackey on March 29.

On November 12, 2013, a sub-contractor and codefendant, Digsafe Inc. of Ottawa, pleaded guilty in relation to the incident and was ordered by Justice of the Peace John Balkwill to pay a fine of $125,000.

In both cases, in addition to the fine, the court imposed a 25 per cent victim fine surcharge as required by the Provincial Offences Act. The surcharge is credited to a special provincial government fund to assist victims of crime.

Garth Brooks visits Stittsville school John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

A gymnasium at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville was a stage of a different kind for country music singer/songwriter Garth Brooks last Saturday.

Instead of the stage at the Canadian Tire Centre where he delivered four shows over three days last weekend including one on Saturday evening, Brooks spent an hour at the Sacred Heart gymnasium where a Garth Brooks Teammates for Kids Foundation Ball Hockey ProCamp was being held.

Garth arrived unheralded about 12:45 p.m., just appearing as he wore a blue hoodie, jeans, sneakers and a ball cap (no signature cowboy hat), looking anything but like one of the best selling country music artists of all time.

But he was there on this gymnasium stage not as a star singer who can sell out the Canadian Tire Centre for four shows but simply as the person whose Teammates for Kids Foundation has been instrumental in providing ProCamps Sports Camps hosted by professional athletes for underpriviledged children.

On Garth’s current World Tour, a “Teammates ProCamp” is being held at each tour stop and Garth takes the time, just like he did last Saturday, to attend each one, delivering a brief message to the youngsters, cheering them on in their games, collecting up an errant floor hockey ball or two and returning them to play and spending time with the professional athletes serving as guest coaches.

The Teammates ProCamp at the Sacred Heart Gym focused on floor hockey, with the three guest coaches being Ottawa Senator defenseman Chris Phillips, former NHL player Shean Donovan who played for seven NHL teams including the Ottawa Senators and who is now the Sens’ player development coach, and former NHL player Darroll Powe who grew up in Kanata and who played 329 games in the NHL with Philadelphia Flyers, Minnesota Wild and

The hockey players, Darroll Powe, who played for three NHL teams, Chris Phillips of the Ottawa Senators and former Senator and current Sens coach Shean Donovan, made a lot of kids happy at the event, while Brooks made tens of thousands of Ottawa residents happy at four sold out concerts at the Canadian Tire Centre last weekend.

New York Rangers.

They joined ProCamps staff coaches and volunteers, about 25 in total, in running the camp.

This ProCamp at the Sacred Heart gym was the 39th such camp on this Garth Brooks’ World Tour.

And Garth is clear about where he stands in the pecking order at these camps, saying in a media scrum that the youngsters at the Teammates ProCamp probably

don’t know who he is but they know the pro athletes who are there and who are teaching them the importance of character and setting goals.

These ProCamps stress five words to the youthful participants – Courage, respect, discipline, attitude and character.

And the group drills and games which were part of this three hour Teammates ProCamp are all geared

around these concept words along with another important concept, being a teammate.

At a ceremony which saw the youngsters attending the camp receive commemorative lanyards presented to them by one of the guest pro coaches, Garth in fact thanked the youngsters for ain this ProCamps endeavour.

Garth thrills kids taking part his foundation’s sports camp Continued from page 31

In remarks at this awards ceremony, Darroll Powe urged the youngsters to remember that wherever they are, everyone there is their teammate and should be treated appropriately.

Ottawa Senator Chris Phillips, in his remarks, said he hoped that the youngsters had learned valuable lessons at the ProCamp event, lessons that they will apply in their lives, transferring them from the floor hockey floor to life.

Former NHL’er Shean Donovan said he hoped that the participants would take all of the lessons that they had learned from the ProCamp and apply them in their lives.

Garth Brooks founded his Teammates for Kids Foundation in 1999 to provide financial aid to charities for children. For the past ten years, the Garth Brooks Teammates for Kids Foundation and ProCamps based in Cincinnati have worked together to stage ProCamps sports camps for underprivileged children.

Professional athletes from the sports world are involved as celebrity coaches at these ProCamps.

The camps are free to the participants from the organizations selected to attend.

Garth mentioned in his media scrum at the Stittsville ProCamp that while the camps started with baseball, adding hockey to the camp program has been a great thing for the

Foundation as hockey is a great sport with many hockey players such as Chris Phillips agreeing to give their support to the organization.

Over 4,000 professional athletes from a variety of sports including baseball, hockey, football, soccer, basketball, golf and others are now part of the Foundation’s family of teammates who have raised over $100 million to help children in over 60 countries around the globe.

While Garth was at the event at the Sacred Heart gymnasium, he cheered on youngsters in their games and drills, walking around the gym floor, showing support when a youngster was successful and urging them on as they played their floor hockey games.

Just before he left at 1:53 p.m., going quietly out a side door of the gymnasium, Garth

participated in a group photograph with all of the 60 youngsters, the ProCamps coaches and the three professional hockey guest coaches, with the photo taken against a backdrop of a gym wall on which was hung signage proclaiming the Garth Brooks Teammates ProCamp.

At this Teammates ProCamp, the youngsters wore green t-shirts while the coaches wore black t-shirts. They were formed into six teams, two in a division. During the time before Garth was on the scene, they rotated around to various stations, spending time discussing a key word such as courage and then taking part in a floor hockey drill. There were six nets set up around the gym floor, one for each of these stations.

In the media scrum, former NHL player and current Ottawa

Sens player development coach Shean Donovan praised Garth Brooks, saying that the singing star takes time from his touring to attend these ProCamps organized through his Teammates for Kids Foundation. He said that these ProCamps expose the youngsters to things that will be useful in everyday life such as courage and being a good teammate.

Garth, for his part, added that there is a very slim chance that any of the youngsters at the ProCamp in Stittsville would become a professional athlete but he added that what they learn at the ProCamp will help them be a good person in life.

The Garth Brooks Teammates for Kids Foundation not only provides sports camps opportunities for underprivileged children but also helps children in the areas of health and education such as by supporting child programs in pediatric hospitals to providing education opportunities for such children.

At this ProCamp at the Sacred Heart gym last Saturday, running from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., the 60 boys and girls from ages 9 to 13 years who attend were associated with a number of local organizations involved with supporting children including the Christie Lake Kids, the Ottawa Senators Foundation, Tim Hortons Foundation, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ottawa and the Gloucester Recreation Department.

Hospital adds parking spaces Melissa Murray

mmurray@metroland.com

Patients and visitors familiar with circling the Ottawa Hospital’s Civic campus looking for an open parking spot are in luck.

A new pilot project, which launched April 4, will open up about 60 more spaces in the P2 parking lot on Ruskin Street, north of the Ottawa Heart Institute.

Two attendants will help direct drivers to open spaces, asking how long they intend to use the space. Once the lot is full, other cars can block in the cars of patients with longer visits by leaving keys with the attendant.

Renée Légaré, executive vice-president human resources, who is responsible for security and parking, said the pilot project will last at least six months, when it will be assessed and potentially expanded to the General and Riverside campuses or other parking garages.

“Parking is always a hot issue,” Légaré said, adding the hospital had received complaints about finding open spots on campus.

She said it wasn’t rare to find between 20 and 30 vehicles circling the garage searching for parking.

“These people don’t deserve to be looking for parking when they are patients or visiting the hospital,” she said.

She’s hoping that allowing more people to park in the lot will help alleviate some of the stress of coming to the hospital, during

an already stressful experience.

Légaré added the intent of the project is to be costneutral, while also optimizing the number of parking spaces. Last fall the hospital started investigating solutions to an emerging parking problem and issued a request for proposals after hearing from patients they had been late for appointments because of the lack of parking. Lineups outside the lots were also cause for concern, she said.

Other initiatives are also underway that encourage staff to park off site, and the hospital is also working with doctors to stagger appointments to lessen demand during peak hours.

“I’m hoping this is a win-win for the hospital, and that it’s cost-neutral as promised,” Légaré said.

The day of the pilot’s launch, 40 of the additional spaces had already been used, she said.

Earlier this year, the provincial government announced they would cap parking rates at hospitals and require reduced prices for weekly and monthly passes. While the pilot project isn’t expected to provide additional revenue to the hospital, Légaré said optimizing the spaces and expanding the program could help increase parking revenues when costs are capped.

Parking at the hospital costs $3.50 per half hour or $13 per day. A weekly pass is $42.25 and a monthly pass is $92, according to the Ottawa Hospital’s website.

Question: Last month local newspapers reported the case of a McDonald’s employee in Kanata who was dismissed after receiving poor performance reviews.

The employee received more than $100,000.00 in court. Why? The short answer is that the judge in this case found that although the employee’s performance was not perfect the employer did not have “just cause” to terminate her employment contract.

If a business chooses to dismiss an employee the employer has to first decide if they have just cause to end the contract or not. Just cause exists when an employee has committed a serious breach of contract such as theft or continually missing work without reason. If the employer does not have just cause then in most cases they have to provide compensation which can equal up to a month of salary for every year of the employee’s service.

Many employers have staff who they believe are poor performers. Performance reviews are often done to encourage better performance but may About Allan Snelling

also be an attempt to build a case for a just cause dismissal. After several poor performance reviews an employer may choose to dismiss an employee for just cause. However, a decision to terminate an employee for just cause can be challenged in court where employers often find it difficult to prove that the alleged breach of contract was serious enough to warrant a just cause dismissal. Poor performance reviews may show that an employee was less than perfect but this alone is usually not enough to disentitle them to some compensation when they are dismissed. Because compensation is typically based on the number of years the employee has worked, the amount owing to dismissed employee can be significant which is what occurred in the case of the former McDonald’s employee.

The song has moved up the dance club chart to occupy the 12th spot. As of March 30 it was ranked 15th, with Adele’s When We Were Young just ahead of it.

Stittsville actor, model looking for fame in the U.S. Continued from page 39

going from competitive horseback riding and hockey with the Kanata Rangers in Ottawa, to learning to act and sing in Montreal, and then heading to the New York Conservatory for the Dramatic Arts.

This song is her first real taste of fame, and she hopes it will be her ticket to continuing her career in the American entertainment industry, which all started on a whim, she said.

START OF THE JOURNEY

“Growing up I played competitive hockey, I was a competitive horseback rider, I played golf, soccer, everything. I was such a sports kid,” said Kelly.

“And then, I must have been like 13 or so, I heard this ad on the radio for acting and sing-

ing classes in Montreal, and I was like, ‘If I hear that ad again I’m just going to call,’ and then like two minutes later it came on again. So I called the number, went an audition and got into this little school in Montreal.”

Taking up this new interest was a way out of the endless cycle of sports, she said.

“I was travelling every weekend for the horse shows or hockey tournaments and it was just becoming a lot,” said Kelly. “I wanted a change in my life and I ended up loving it once I started going to these classes and stuff, and then it became what I wanted to do.”

Kelly later transferred from Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville to Canterbury High School’s acting program, and from there made the move to New York.

After two years at the con-

servatory, Kelly thought her big break was going to come from acting, but after connecting with music producer Chris Young, she worked with a team to produce

It’s so weird to hear your own voice over this huge speaker system and everyone is dancing to your song. It’s the coolest feeling ever.

Kourtney Kelly

some tracks to see where it might lead.

Along with writer Elena Goddard and guitarist Josh Cohen, the group produced three songs in a collaborative process, with

perhaps the best number being Solid Ground.

“It’s about being let down by someone that either you love or is your friend, and I think it’s something that everyone can connect to because I think everyone in the world has been let down once or twice in their life,” said Kelly.

Getting a rock-pop vibe from the song, Kelly said it walks a line with it’s upbeat sound along with heavier lyric content.

Seeing the song do so well has been extremely exciting, she said.

“It’s incredible,” said Kelly. “I did not expect it to do this well.

I’m shocked and beyond happy.”

Acknowledging that the song is her first claim to fame, she is hoping it will make a difference when the American government reviews her visa and decides if she can continue to work in the U.S., she said.

“You have a year after you graduate to prove yourself in the States and be able to stay,” said Kelly. “You have to prove that you have extraordinary talent.”

The decision is pending, and Kelly is hoping this song could make the difference.

In the meantime, her next big break could come in the form of a TV acting gig. She will head to Los Angeles soon to perform in a pilot TV show that she described as being “like a modernday Friends.”

But for now, Kelly is continuing to enjoy the fast-paced life in the American entertainment industry, and loves hearing her song come on at a club during a night out, she said.

“It’s so weird to hear your own voice over this huge speaker system and everyone is dancing to your song. It’s the coolest feeling ever.”

Christina Voelzing, the victim of an Easter Sunday shooting in Bells Corners, died from her injuries early on March 30. Her death marks the city’s sixth homicide of 2016.

Voelzing was 24-years-old, and weeks away from graduation, when she was shot in a home on Sonnet Crescent early on March 27.

According to police, the shooting occurred shortly after 5 a.m., though neighbours reported on social media that they heard apparent gunshots closer to 4 a.m. Voelzing was found in critical condition and remained that way until she succumbed to her injuries several days later.

“Our community’s grief, confusion and sense of loss is made greater because our colleague, Sherryl Fraser… has lost her daughter,” Jensen said. “It is difficult to imagine the shock, pain and loss felt by our friend and colleague.

“SHE WAS A HARD WORKER”

Elsewhere in Bells Corners, staff at Fitz’s Classic Grill, where Voelzing worked for the past year-and-a-half, described a generous, hard working woman who brightened the days of her co-work-

ers from her first shift there.

“She was a sweetheart and she’s going to be well missed,” restaurant owner Donna Reid said tearfully. “We loved her here … she’s the sweetest thing on the face of this earth. She was always the sunshine in our business. She was a hard worker, customers loved her, and she will be well missed by all of us.”

On March 29, flowers decorated the walkway in front of the Sonnet Crescent home where Voelzing was found critically injured, and where Bells Corners residents planned to gather for a candlelight vigil later that evening.

Before becoming a victim of violent crime herself, Voelzing planned to work with young victims of crime after her graduation, which was to take place next month.

“I hope to work with youth involved in the criminal justice system,” a description in her

LinkedIn profile says. “I hope to use my skills and understanding of victims rights and needs as well as the victimoffender continuum to work with and support youth.”

ONGOING INVESTIGATION

The major crime unit is leading an ongoing investigation into the shooting, which is now considered a homicide.

As of March 30, police have not made any arrests. Police described the incident as isolated, and unrelated to other recent shootings in Ottawa, and said that while it was not random, it may not have been targeted.

A vehicle was seized at the scene on the day of the shooting and is part of the homicide investigation.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact the major crime unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5493.

Gotta go? There’s a new city app for that NEWS

Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Thanks to the open data program, Ottawa is now flush with apps that tell people where and when they can use public facilities, the city’s IT sub committee heard on March 31.

Joan Kuyek, chair of the Gotta Go campaign which aims to create a network of free and accessible public washrooms in Ottawa, said she’s pleased with the city’s additional resources to help people in need of a place to go.

“It’s important to see council taking care of one of our most basic needs,” she said.

Connected to your community

Kuyek said there’s room for improvement though, saying the city could align the apps that help residents locate facilities with OC Transpo maps, or show the washrooms as greyed out when they’re being renovated or not in use.

She is pleased to see the city working on paper maps of public washrooms, but would like to see more information on unisex washrooms and more work on accessibility.

“There’s not a whole lot of information about what to do if you’re in a wheelchair,” she said. “And braille is missing.”

Kuyek said the city needs more in the way of public

washrooms so third-party web developers could create an app to map out the locations.

The city collected data on 190 washrooms in its own buildings and also noted such things as the availability of baby-changing tables, building hours of operation and level of accessibility.

Robert Giggey, manager of open data with the city, said it was all about leveraging systems that are already in place.

“This is what the city excels at, taking all that information and cataloguing the washrooms,” O’Donnell said.

IT sub committee chair Coun . Rick Chiarelli said

washrooms.

“I recently visited Seoul,” she said. “I was blown away by their public facilities.”

The staff presentation to the committee showed that there are a number of apps, including Bathroom Scout, Toilet Finder and ottpee.ca.

Kevin O’Donnell developed ottpee.ca. He said the work was easy, once he discovered the city’s data on washrooms.

“There was so much behind the door,” he said.

The information is available through Geo Ottawa, an online mapping tool on the city’s website.

City council voted last September to compile and publish data about public

File

Thanks to the open data program, Ottawa is now flush with apps that tell people where and when they can use public facilities, the city’s IT sub committee heard on March 31. the campaign to create a network of public washrooms has come a long way since it started.

“This is a problem for a lot of people,” he said.

So thanks for providing some relief.”

Serving Kanata north

City Councillor, Kanata north THE WEEK IN REVIEW This past week started with a presentation by Ottawa area MPP’s on the provincial budget. It includes funding for infrastructure that, combined with announcements in the federal budget, encouraged me to ask for support to move light rail to Kanata. Working with the other West end Councillors I expect that we will have a firm proposal in short order, which I’ll share with you through this column.

That evening I attended the Awesome Authors Event at Centrepoint Theatre, an event sponsored by the Friends of the Ottawa Public Library. It was an evening filled with talented children from 9 to 17 who shared their poems and short stories with the guests in both official languages. There were many awards given to students from the Earl of March middle school, Jack Donohue and École Élémentaire Publique Kanata. Each year the winning poems and stories are published in Pot-Pourri, encouraging our young authors to continue their writing.

The next morning I was fascinated to hear about the coming of the driverless car (widespread by 2020 according to those present) at the Autonomous Vehicles Ecosystem Breakfast. Speakers included one from Kanata’s QNX. A panel described what was happening in the field and what to expect in the future. These changes will dramatically impact everyone, from job losses for truck and taxi drivers to increased mobility for the blind, to changes in how our cities develop. Our businesses need to become involved to ensure developing industries and jobs locate here.

That afternoon I attended a planning meeting on how to improve medical facilities in our growing area, attended the wake for a long time resident and in the evening participated with more than 200 residents at the last community consultation meeting on the expansion lands along March Road. The plans are being finalized along with documents that will outline how the area will be developed. These should be on the City website soon with a further 30 day comment period before a report is sent to Planning Committee and Council for final approval. Development will include 3,000 homes (8,000 residents), retail areas, schools, parks, firehall and park and ride.

On Thursday, after an interesting IT Committee meeting where we discussed making Ottawa a ‘smart’ city, I attended the 2nd annual TEDxKanata at the Brookstreet. Nearly 300 were present to hear from 8 speakers on the theme of Breaking Barriers. Go to tedxkanata.com/ to find out about the fabulous speakers this year and watch last year’s presentations. Videos of each 2016 presentation will be available there shortly – at 18 minutes each you’ll find them worth watching.

Kitty a real good ‘mouser’

M

other said if she lived to be 100, she’d never get used to the common housefly or the mice, both of which were in ample supply on our farm in Renfrew County.

The flies, fortunately, were only around in warm weather, but the mice had no respect for the seasons, and it didn’t seem to matter if the snow was knee deep, or we were gasping for air on a hot summer day, the mice had minds of their own.

In the cold weather, our summer kitchen kept our food chilled or frozen. An old table sat in the middle of the floor, and Mother was always frightened a wayward mouse would climb up a table leg, and help itself to whatever was there.

Her solution was to have Father fill four tobacco tins with coal oil and put one under each leg of the table. Any mouse daring to reach the top of the table had a fatal bath in the coal oil, and the food was safe. Of course, this only worked in the summer kitchen. Inside the house was another matter.

No one knew how they got into the house, but it wasn’t unusual, while we sat around the kitchen table at night, to see a tiny mouse scurry across the floor, or run tight against the baseboards. And Mother, who could sense a mouse a mile away, would fly into a state of hysteria, demand Father get the broom, order

MARY COOK Memories the brothers onto the chase, and chaos ensued until the mouse was either caught, or found a means of escape.

Silently, I rooted for the mouse.

Now, Mother would not allow any dogs or cats in the house. “They belong in the barn,” she’d say when I would beg to bring in one of my pets, which included a hoard of cats, one I especially liked and simply called Kitty, or our old Collie dog, which, like just about every other dog in Northcote, was called Sport.

Father, a third generation on our farm, told stories of the pets he had as a young boy, and how the dogs and cats were just as comfortable in the house as they were in the barns. But Mother wouldn’t budge. They belonged in the barn, and that’s all there was to it.

Spring was breaking early that year, and for some unexplained reason, we were seeing more mice than usual, both in the summer kitchen, and in the house.

Mother was on constant alert, and since she hated mousetraps as much as she hated the mice, catching the

little critters seemed to be the only solution. That is, until that night at supper.

Father, who my sister Audrey said later, brought up the subject on purpose, said how he saw Kitty snare mouse after mouse in the barn. “She’s a real mouser, that one is,” he said, without taking a pause between mouths full of supper.

“Never saw anything like it, and I’ve lived on this here farm forever ... but that Kitty sure can catch a mouse if one happens to cross her path. She is sure cutting down on the mouse population.”

Mother, with a fork half way to her mouth, asked Father if he was sure it was Kitty. He said he caught her in the act at least a dozen times.

It was probably more coincidence than anything else, but that night, at least three mice interrupted our card game at the kitchen table. By the time they were chased out into the woodshed, or knocked senseless with the broom, it was bedtime. The whole evening had been wasted battling the mice.

The very next morning, just

before we headed for school, Mother said she thought it was time Kitty was brought into the house, where she’d be trained to sleep in a box beside the stove, eat in her own dish (heaven forbid that a cat would eat out of a bowl we used at the kitchen table), and if she was caught within a mile of one of our beds, she would be banished back out to the barn.

My sister Audrey said she was sure Kitty could read Mother’s mind. “Cats are pretty smart, you know,” she said, and who was as thrilled as I was that, finally, I could have one of my pets in the house.

No one knew what Kitty did with the mice she caught. Like a night burglar, most of her action was when we were in bed, but ever after, our house was free of mice.

And Mother, on occasion could be seen dropping a piece of salt pork, or a spoonful of gravy into Kitty’s dish in gratitude.

Finally, the mouse problem was under control. Sadly, nothing was discovered that could rid the house of the common housefly, which remained the bane of Mother’s existence all the time we lived on the farm in Renfrew County.

Nita Tandon came out on top in the Mompreneur Awards start-up category in an awards ceremony in Toronto on March 5, during International Women’s Day Weekend. Her success in the national business competition comes with exposure and $5,000 worth of cash and services.

Barrhaven business-mom wins Mompreneur start-up award Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com

Dalcini Stainless founder Nita Tandon has been on an upward trajectory since founding her steel snack container company last summer, and her recent success at the Mompreneur Awards has launched her even higher.

In an awards ceremony on March 5, Tandon, a Barrhaven resident, received the competition’s start-up award, coming out on top of a pool of 17,000 candidates

and 124 nominees from across Canada, along with three other award winners.

The ceremony was the finale of the 2016 National Mompreneurs Conference, held in Toronto during International Women’s Day Weekend, on March 4 and 5. Mompreneurs CEO Maria Locker founded the organization – which publishes a magazine and hosts the annual conference and awards ceremony – to support moms who double as entrepreneurs.

“The organization has

been wonderful in terms of understanding what it’s like to try and balance family and running a company,” Tandon said. “No matter how big or small that company is, when you run it as a mom, it’s difficult to manage, and they get that right from the get-go.”

UNDER 3 YEARS OLD

This year the innovation competition bestowed four women with honours See DALCINI, page 51

Dalcini Stainless founder recognized national business competition Continued from page 50

including an award of excellence for the top “mompreneur,” a momentum award for a service based or non-profit company, an award of merit for the top consultant, franchisee, or broker, and the start-up award, for the top business under three years old.

Tandon learned in January that she was a finalist for the latter award, along with four other start-up founders.

“I thought, ‘If I win, great, and if I don’t, it’s still a wonderful opportunity,’ and I went in with that mindset,” said Tandon, who entered the competition in November, shortly after launching Dalcini Stainless. “When they called my name I was shocked.”

Tandon founded Dalcini Stainless in 2015 after struggling to find chemical free, hygienic and easy-toopen containers for her daughter.

Dalcini Stainless containers are made with stainless steel – which Tandon said is more durable and hygienic than the plastic often used for snack containers – and are designed so that even kindergarten-age

children can easily open them. They’re also free of bisphenol A, a chemical Health Canada banned from baby bottles in 2009.

Over the next year, Tandon will receive $5,000 worth of services and cash as winner of the start-up award, as well as a chance to compete again for the Mompreneur Award of Excellence, worth $30,000.

But award or no award, Tandon said that participating in the conference and competition has opened avenues of exposure, networking and education for her.

“If you’re working on your own it’s hard to get people to notice you and to recognize you,” Tandon said.

“But when there’s a room full of people that start Tweeting about you and taking pictures of your product and getting your message out, it’s phenomenal.”

As part of her prize package, Tandon will also work with a business coach for a year as she builds her business, and they’ll have a lot to go over with Dalcini Stainless gearing up to meet demand for the 201617 school year.

She said her recent exposure has helped connect her with new types of customers, and that she is already receiving large orders from non-retail clients like

Calling all people of Welsh desCent and everyone interested in Welsh Culture and musiC

colleges and universities.

Tandon also plans to sell her containers through local retail stores this year, but said that she is willing to deliver her containers to clients across the city.

“If anyone purchases online, if it’s in the Ottawa area, I will deliver it,” she said.

Between making business plans for the coming

year, preparing for another tradeshow in Toronto and basking in her recent accomplishment at the Mompreneur Awards, Tandon has had some time to reflect on what her partnership with the organization as done for her.

“It terms of getting nominated and winning the award, it’s just the exposure has pushed me so

much further ahead than if I had been doing this on my own,” she said. “I would definitely recommend for any entrepreneur in Canada to join an organization like this.”

Canada Science and Technology Museums Corporation/Submitted

Museum officials are breathing a sigh of relief that a new round of federal dollars will pay for a new $156.4-million collection and conservation centre on the property at the Canada Science and Technology Museum.

Future museum collection centre ‘a game changer’: president Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Happy tears flowed the day the federal budget delivered good news and spelled relief for Canada Science and Technology Museum staff.

A $156.4-million federal cash infusion will be doled out over the next three years to pay for a new state-of-the-art collection and conservation centre that will mean more storage and laboratory space, a consolidated headquarters and allow visitors to enjoy more of the artifacts of three Ottawa-based national museums.

“There were a few people crying the day of the announcement,” said Alex Benay, president and chief executive of the Canada Science and Technology Museums Corporation, which manages the science and tech museum, the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum and the Canada Aviation and Space Museum.

“This literally gets us at par with the best museum institutions in the world,” he said of the funding, announced March 23.

Staff, some of whom have been with the corporation for 20 and 30 years, have been “just getting by, just finding ways to come up with solutions,” Benay said of the cramped museum and collection warehouses.

“We were always sort of the makedo museum.

“From the very day we were cre-

ated, it’s always been a little jerryrigged, and now those days are over.”

The new collection and conservation centre will be “a game changer,” said Benay, and will “ideally” be built to wrap around the museum at 1867 St. Laurent Blvd. that is now being overhauled and modernized for $80.5-million ahead of its November 2017 opening.

Its future location and design won’t be finalized until after architects are hired. A request-for-proposals to hire a design team is now being drafted.

Once the storage facility opens sometime in 2018, it will not only provide more storage space for the collections of the three museums, but will be partly open to the public, historians and researchers.

“If we do a walk around I’d like it to be free,” Benay said, but added that this may not be possible if a guide needs to be hired.

He said it’s too soon to talk about admission fees for the centre, and how much of the storage site will be accessible.

Prior to the museum’s sudden closure in fall 2015 after airborne mould was detected, it showcased three to five per cent of the museum’s collection, below the industry standard of five to 10 per cent, said Benay.

Guestrooms needed for marathon runners New online service looking to connect people this race weekend Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

Are you a race weekend fan or runner looking to learn the tricks of the running trade from another runner?

Well, a new online accommodation service called Staybillety.com wants to help you out with that.

The accommodation service is looking for Ottawa residents who would like to open their homes up to fellow runners for the Scotiabank Ottawa Marathon at the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend, May 28-29.

“It’s about connecting likeminded people,” said Staybillety.com spokesperson Carolyn Waldo.

It’s also about helping out-

of-town athletes spend less during big city events, and potentially be able to bring their cheer section along too.

A former two-time Olympic athlete, Waldo said she knows firsthand what it is like to travel for your sport, and how expensive it can be on your family to come watch you perform.

“This is dating me, but it was the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, and I was lucky enough to stay in a house, not a hotel. It made it possible for my family to come,” Waldo said, adding that at times, her parents had to pay more than $300 a night to cheer her on.

This, she said, should change that for eager athletes looking to do the best they can and not have to worry about a pricy hotel bill at the end of the event.

“It’s not that hotels don’t have their place when it comes to events for athletes, but this is something different,” she said.

The concept is similar to Airbnb.com, in that it offers

March, this online accommodation service partnered with Run Ottawa to help fill the void of finding affordable accommodation for the race weekend, giving runners the opportunity to meet other runners.

The goal, Waldo said, is for Staybillety.com to donate to different charities each month.

It is free to sign up for Staybillety, but the organization does charge a service fee to guests when they book an accommodation.

Hosts are also charged a service fee for each transaction. Hosts get to set the price of their accommodations and Staybillety.com will also donate a portion of its proceeds towards a national charity that is picked by members.

Aside from Run Ottawa, the organization has also partnered with CanoeKayak Canada.

To book for race weekend, or sign up as a host, go to Staybillety.com.

Once overhauled, it “will get us into the top echelon percentage of collections on display,” he said, adding the collection building will compliment that.

The site, which will also include laboratories for artifact preservation and digital technology development, will span 51,000 to 56,000 square metres. The

facility will also serve as the corporation’s new consolidated headquarters.

Currently, the corporation has 21,000 to 23,000 square metres of storage and office space at three aging and leased warehouse sites on Lancaster Road across from the museum. These sites have been bursting at the seams for several years.

“It’s not ideal for public walk-through when there are

artifacts in the aisles,” said Benay.

In addition to housing the museums’ collections at the new location, the corporation president said there will be room to store items from the National Art Gallery, such as paintings and sculptures.

Discussions are now underway to rent out storage space to other entities, but Benay declined to disclose potential tenants.

COMMUNITY news .COM

The Benefits of Dealing with Ottawa’s Best With the recent challenges of a low-growth economy and restricted returns on investment portfolios, it’s no surprise that many homeowners are looking to renovate their existing residence rather than purchasing another. But just as home and condo markets can be tangled jungles to navigate, the world of renovation contracting can also be fraught with perils. Fortunately, for those living in the Greater Ottawa area, there’s an alternative that can deliver quality and long-lasting results without the hassle. Quality Trades Contracting, based in Orleans is a full service design, build and renovation company. General manager Steve Sampert, a construction expert with over 25 years experience, sat down to answer a few of the common questions that many of his customers have had over the time he’s been in the business. Steve started off in the very busy and demanding construction/renovation market of Vancouver and has earned his stripes with companies as large as Sears Canada, where he served as a district manager for their home services division.

W

hat’s the first step homeowners should take when considering any type of renovation project?

“The budget is the biggest item that many people overlook when planning a home reno or addition job. They leaf through dozens of interior and exterior design magazines and come up with some wonderful ideas, but have no idea of the final cost. The biggest hurdle to start with is the financial target and if they can come up with a firm idea of the dollar total they’re comfortable with, it can make everything else go smoothly. Keeping in account a 10% surprise factor will help out when or if challenges arise such as unforeseen building conditions or material costs inflate.”

H

H

“While online searching can help you narrow your choices down, nothing beats word-of-mouth. Talk to your neighbours, friends and family. Don’t be shy about knocking on the door of someone in your neighbourhood where you recently saw a contractor’s vehicle. Check for credentials and consumer ratings with the Better Business Bureau.

Stay away from online want-ads as they almost always lead you to fly-by-night types with little or no experience. Get references from potential contractors and check them out.”

“Just as factoring in a budget cushion can help with finances, keeping flexible with regards to timing can be very helpful when dealing with a major home reno.

Qualified Trades Contracting uses a unique cloud-based software that keeps our customers in the loop with daily updates they can access anywhere, anytime. This line of communication is key and provides a great deal of peace of mind along with the flexibility to make changes to the project once it’s started, if desired.”

W

W

“Will permits be required and who will be responsible for obtaining them? Are all of the trades involved certified?

Does everyone carry liability and worker’s compensation insurance? Where will materials be sourced and who will buy them?” Steve noted that a lot of people are under the misconception that buying materials through their contractor is more expensive. As qualified contractors will have preferred purchase discounts available through reputable suppliers, the end cost to the client is no higher than if they bought the products themselves. But homeowners can hit warranty snags if they purchase certain products on their own and have someone else install them.

“Our name says it all. We’ve taken the time to research, seek out, and choose only the best trades professionals in electrical, plumbing, finish carpentry, tile-work and the rest so that our clients never have to worry about anything being substandard. We’ve chosen our partners, not only for their expertise, but for their superior customer skills and a demonstrated respect for the homes they work in. After all, having a home reno or remodel done is a very personal event in anyone’s life and we don’t take that responsibility lightly.”

ow should people look for and decide on the right contractor?

hat questions should you ask when a potential contractor comes for the initial visit?

H

ow should contractors be paid?

“It depends a lot on the type and scope of the project, but generally a reputable contractor will ask for 30% up front, 50% at an agreed-upon milestone, and 20% on completion.”

ow should clients plan on the timing and duration of the project?

hat makes Quality Trades Contracting different from the rest?

In bringing Coach Bellemare on board, OSU has secured one of the most highly respected goalkeeper coaches within North America. He is well known for his previous work within The Ottawa Fury organization, last working with their NASL professional goalkeepers. Bellemare has worked with Canadian National Team goalkeepers Taryn Swiatek, Leisha Alcia, Erin McNulty, Dayle Colpitts, Rachelle Beanlands, Audrey Bernier-Larose, Cynthia Leblanc, Chad Bush and Aidan Aylward.

He also works with The University of Ottawa Women’s Team and Louis Riel Sport Etude Program. In addition he has also served on an interim basis with CASL in North Carolina as their goalkeeping lead coach. CASL is well known to be one of the top organizations in The United States. David will be focusing on working with our Force Academy keepers as well as our OPDL and OYSL Goalkeepers.

RUN, QUIT, WIN! ----------

This announcement comes on the heels of securing Mike Toshack to lead up our Goalkeeper Academy. With Bellemare joining the program now, it shows a very serious intent on the part of the club to invest in the development of our club goalkeepers. Furthermore, this unprecedented cooperation between goalkeepers coaches in our region will help bring together the expertise we have, for the betterment of our players. Safe to say, this is very exciting news for OSU Soccer.

Committee votes in favour of starting work on ‘smart city’ clude physical infrastructure and innovations that would help municipal staff work smarter, not harder.

In some cases, it’s already in place – such as the city’s LED street lights, or smart meters used by Hydro Ottawa, but there’s much more potential.

Beacon Hill Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney said that he went to Halifax and saw the “big belly,” a garbage can that communicates with the dump truck.

The future is now, heard the city’s IT sub committee on March 31.

A motion by Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper was passed, aimed at forming a working group to start work on making Ottawa smarter.

It’s more than just working on creating a fibre optic network, said Saad Bashir, director of economic development.

The right plan would in-

me up today, I am not full,’” Tierney said.

Tierney said he’s worked with Kanata South Coun.

Allan Hubley before on trying to get new technology such as smart garbage cans piloted before, but the attempts have fallen flat.

But Bashir said thanks to the city’s Innovation Pilot Program – part of the economic development department – which was “quietly” introduced last year, there are funds available to run pilot projects such as the

one Tierney brought up.

Leiper’s original motion included naming members of the working group, with people such as Couns. Marianne Wilkinson and Rick Chiarelli on the list, as well as the city’s legal and economic development department.

But Barrhaven Coun.

Jan Harder said she’d like to see councillors who have worked on innovative ideas be part of the conversation.

“Our time is now, actually our time is yesterday,”

she said. “We need people around the table who don’t need to be brought up to speed.”

After the amendment to his motion, Leiper said he plans to work with committee chair Chiarelli on identifying who should be in a working group.

“It’s really about defining what is a smart city and identifying resources,” he said, adding looking for funding to develop the fibre optic infrastructure will certainly be part of that.

While a sustainable city and a smart city are separate concepts, Leiper said the two are linked.

“If we have a smart HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning,) system, you aren’t heating a building when it’s 25 degrees out,” he said, adding smart sprinklers could keep staff from watering plants or grass when there’s rain in the forecast.

Leiper said he hopes to see something concrete in the next eight months.

‘We have taken the handcuffs off the taxi industry’: Deans Sweeping changes to car-for-hire bylaw would make Uber legal

Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Jennifer McIntosh/Metroland

Amrik Singh, president of Unifor Local 1688, which represents the city’s cab drivers, fumes over a series of changes to the city’s car-for-hire bylaw that will make ride-sharing services like Uber legal. The city released the contents on the review – which had been in the works since May 2015.

city’s community and protective services committee.

Deans did caution that for residents using private

transportation companies, it is buyer beware.

“Residents will have the choice of taking taxis, with

trained professional drivers and cameras or a ride sharing app, which offers only a basic level of consumer protection,” Deans said, adding the city wouldn’t get involved in any disputes between riders and private transportation companies.

Anthony Di Monte, the acting head of the city’s emergency services, said it’s about modernizing the industry.

In an effort to level the playing field, the review recommends cutting the licensing fee for taxis from $170 to $96. The city would also remove the $1.50 process-

ing fee for debit transactions – something Di Monte said makes taxi fares in the capital some of the highest across the country.

Taxis will also be allowed to offer lower fares on prearranged trips booked through an app.

“We are taking the handcuffs off the taxi industry,” Deans said.

But Singh doesn’t think so.

“What did we do to deserve this?” Singh asked, adding taxi drivers work hard to follow the rules.

While Singh said he hasn’t read the whole 116-page

R0013661777-0128

Taxi union president Amrik Singh was seeing red during the briefing of the city’s new rules around taxies and other car for hire services.

The city released the review of the taxi and limousine bylaw on March 31, after nearly a year of work.

There are nearly 70 recommendations in the report – one of them being to allow ride-sharing programs, such as Uber to operate legally.

“Nothing about this is fair,” said Singh, who is the president of Unifor Local 1688. “The rules are supposed to be the same for everyone.”

Under the proposed bylaw Uber drivers would have to have annual criminal record checks, biannual vehicle inspections, insurance and pay licensing fees.

“The city answered the public’s call for change,” said Diane Deans, chair of the

document, he isn’t pleased with what he’s seen so far.

Neither is Hanif Patni, president of taxi dispatcher Coventry Connections.

Patni said he’s worried about the viability of taxis under the new rules.

“We are going to study it very carefully,” he said of the new bylaw.

River Coun. Riley Brockington said while he applauds the deregulation of the taxi industry, he wondered why there wasn’t more about a cap on surge prices that Uber uses at busy times and fares.

Uber, while not immediately available for comment, was circulating an online petition in the days before the briefing.

Currently at more than 12,000 signatures, the petition is aimed at getting council to support ride-sharing services in Ottawa.

“There will be loud voices on the other side of the debate that want to stop progress,” the petition at uber.org reads. “They want to reverse the gains we’ve made in transportation in the last four years. We think this is wrong. Ottawa should join other progressive cities around the world by embracing ridesharing and the benefits it brings to cities.”

The public will get a chance to weigh in on the debate at a special meeting on April 7, with possible overflow on April 8. Council will vote on the issue April 13.

From a hockey injury to wedding gowns to weed Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Looking to invest? Consider weed.

The pot market is about to spark up, said the head of a Canadian company who hopes to capitalize on opportunities expected when the government legalizes marijuana.

That was the focus of one of eight talks given at the second annual TEDx Kanata event on March 31.

Though each of the talks related to the theme of the night, Breaking Barriers, in some way, the speaker on legalizing weed touted the benefits of barriers. In this case, the benefit is a wave of opportunity that comes from breaking that legal barrier.

FROM HERSHEY BARS TO WEED

Bruce Linton, CEO of tech company Martello Technologies, but more relevantly, co-founder and chairman of Tweed, spoke about the wave of opportunity he and Tweed are preparing for as pot, he anticipates, becomes legalized for recreational use.

“I want to speak (in favour of) the barrier,” he announced at the beginning of his talk on March 31.

The marijuana market is worth billions of dollars, he said, and while a recent decision by a B.C. judge has cleared the way for medical marijuana users to grow their own supply, pot remains illegal for recreational use.

However, Linton and Tweed have arranged to not only scoop up the opportunity to sell weed to medical users, but potentially to recreational users as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has pledged to legalize pot.

“I think we’ve proved that criminalization (of marijuana) is good for criminals,” said Linton during his talk.

But as he anticipates this legal barrier coming down, he’s ready to scoop up the impending wave of opportunity with Tweed, which bought the former Hershey

chocolate factory in Smiths Falls to grow marijuana.

Linton said that, like many other barriers, the criminalization of marijuana came about because “a bunch of old white guys decided.”

Mexicans would bring marijuana into America as it was part of their traditional medicine, but the “old white guys” in charge didn’t like it, said Linton.

He said many of these barriers come up due to phobic reactions, and he described them as reservoirs of opportunity that can be tapped when the barrier finally breaks.

His company is hoping to become a leader as the laws change, and is currently getting marketing help from rapper Snoop Dogg.

HOCKEY TRAUMA

Other local speakers included CHEO president Alex Munter, who discussed being a member of city council when its bylaws against smoking tobacco in public came into affect.

The episode yielded his first death threat, he told the crowd.

That push would ultimately make “a huge social change,” he said, and his next push is against child-

hood obesity, which he said is “the public health issue of this generation.”

Another speaker, Craig Gauthier from Kanata, opened up the event with a talk calling for greater perspective as technology becomes a bigger and bigger part of our lives, while others still don’t have access to clean water.

“We don’t have to save the planet,” he said, but real world problems have to be tackled before we get lost in a virtual one.

However, one of the most influential talks, according to several attendees, was delivered by retired NHL player Doug Smith.

Smith discussed the effect of emotional and physical trauma, both of which he’s experienced and overcome with a system he shared with the crowd of 275 people.

A first-round NHL draft pick in 1981, what Smith and others expected to be a vibrant professional career failed to materialize due to a lack of emotional support from his hockey team, the Los Angeles Kings, he said.

“They weren’t set up to deal with 18-year-olds (his age at the time),” he said of the hockey club.

TEDx Kanata speakers wow at second annual talk Instead, Smith was housed at a cheap hotel until the team confirmed he would be staying the club and not sent back to the minors. He went out and bought a high-powered Porsche and was given a loaded handgun to hide under the seat for his protection. And when he was told he could go ahead and buy a house, he was left to his own devices.

The unsupportive environment led to emotional troubles that left Smith a “healthy scratch,”: physically fine but unable to compete.

After begging to be traded, he was finally dealt to the Buffalo Sabres. There he was met at the airport by coach and GM Scotty Bowman, who told Smith he believed in him and that he knew Smith could be great.

That support made all the difference, and Smith scored 13 seconds into his first game, starting off a strong

career.

But Smith would be challenged again, this time after smashing head first into the boards and breaking bones in his neck and back.

Left a quadriplegic, Smith was unable to walk, he said as he strode around the stage at TEDx Kanata on his own two feet. He described the things he became aware of due to his injury which ultimately helped him recover.

These became a code for unlocking greater performance, he said.

They include the idea that asking for help is a strength, not a weakness, as is emotional control, despite the fact that he was praised for losing his emotional control while playing in the NHL. “Certainly Mr. Smith’s (talk) talks to me because of his hockey history,” said Veronique Daoust, an attendee and Ottawa Senators employee.

“I thought that was probably, to me, one of the most impactful,” said Eric Larose

of Smith’s talk.

WHAT’S IN A NAME

However perhaps the most startling talk was given

by Justina Antonia, who discussed the importance of a name and a brand.

Antonia, who had changed her name several times throughout her life, was ready to settle on Justina McCaffrey, taking her husband’s name as she grew her brand as a fashion designer, most prominently in the wedding industry.

Finding quite a bit of success and growing her business to multiple stores, including one on Sussex Drive, she threw herself into her work designing dresses until, one day in 2008, she was locked out, she said.

Her husband, who wanted a divorce, would take her business too.

A legal battle ensued, not just about the divorce, but who owned the name Justina McCaffrey Haute Couture.

JUNE 16th, 2016

Exhausted by the legal battle, Antonia stepped back from it until, in 2015, her husband’s business, McCaffrey Haut Couture, filed for bankruptcy.

But what comes with a bankruptcy, Antonia asked the crowd? A bankruptcy sale.

The sale lasted four days and Antonia was there at them all, fighting off shoppers and other fashion companies from buying her former belongings, her dress designs, even items that still bore her handwriting.

“Oh it was awful,” she said, as those around her looked for deals, and she bought all she could of her former life at full price.

“This was the requiem of my professional dream,” she told the crowd.

But with the sale nearing its end, a woman gave Antonia a bag, saying it was hers.

When Antonia looked in it, it was the letters of her name from one of the store signs.

“Protect your name, protect your work,” said Antonia. “You’ll thank me for it.”

Metroland East VP Mike Mount retires Ashley Kulp

akulp@metroland.com

Mike mount Mount said. “My father said if I wanted to come in and join the company, now would be the time.”

He admitted he was torn on whether the smaller Performance Printing would be a good fit for him.

“That was my biggest issue, whether I would enjoy working in Canada but I enjoyed the business like I enjoyed manufacturing,” he stated.

He surprised himself when he found he was comfortable in the smaller company. He immersed himself in different departments, including pre-press, customer service and helping improve the company’s technology. It was important for Mount to try and relate to the different departments to understand their challenges.

“I think over the period before becoming president, I probably had done almost every job,” he said.

Once he had put his time in, he was named vice-president

general manager of Metroland East) with Performance Printing’s success.

METROLAND

In 2011, Mount faced a hard decision regarding Performance Printing’s future.

It was a successful but small company and had connected with the Ottawa Citizen as a strategic partner for years, but he decided to take the company in a different direction.

“The goal when I started to talk to Metroland was not to sell the company, but to secure a new strategic partner,” he said.

Over the course of a year, he said during discussions it became clear that selling the company would be the best option to secure its future. “It made more sense for the company and for everybody to sell the whole company versus trying to form a partnership,” he said.

It’s a partnership he doesn’t regret. “Metroland is an ex-

cellent company and they are committed to newspapers, printing and media,” he said.

“I couldn’t have found a better partner and I feel fortunate that it all worked out for them and for us.”

Nearly five years later and after an expansion into the former Stanley Tools building, which serves as Metroland East’s distribution centre, Mount believes he’s leaving the company he helped build in good hands.

“There isn’t a better organization in our industry that understands what we do and is committed to journalism and newspapers,” he said.

Addressing the changes to the industry, Mount feels there will always be a place for the community newspaper.

“Newspapers and publishing is always about connecting to your customers and to an audience. There are lots of different medias that can do that, but community newspapers are one of the strongest ways you

Metroland Media lost a community newspaper champion April 1 when its Metroland East vice-president and regional publisher closed his office door for the last time.

Mike Mount recently announced his retirement in mid-March, noting it was the right time to step away from the company he helped grow in order to spend more time with his wife and three daughters, as well as pursue other interests.

“The short-term plan is to give myself some time and see what interests surface,” he remarked. “I’ve enjoyed my entire career and I hope I will find that next thing in life, both personally and professionally.”

“If I can become a better golfer, everything else will be a bonus,” Mount joked.

Torstar’s Peter Bishop, who came on board with Metroland East in March, will take over for Mount.

“I have every confidence in his ability to continue to lead our region in a professional and progressive way,” Mount said of Bishop.

The 53-year-old, who has a degree in mechanical engineering and Master of Business administration (MBA), first got his feet wet in the newspaper industry in 1993 thanks to his father Bob, who had owned the former Performance Printing Ltd. company for 15 years. He had formerly worked as a process engineer at Albany International in Albany, New York, where he lived with his wife Karen, who was born in the U.S. “He started with $1 million in revenue, so it was a small operation and he had just moved into the Lorne Street building in Smiths Falls,” Mount said. “My dad’s background was in printing.”

“I had never worked in newspapers or printing,” he said.

Nearing retirement and looking at succession planning, Bob gave Mike the opportunity to test the waters for three years. “I had an opportunity to take a position in Europe with the company I was working for so I had to decide what I wanted to do,”

and five years later, eventually president. It was under his guidance Performance Printing and the EMC group of community newspapers, saw great growth, going from a market that included Smiths Falls, Perth, Almonte/Carleton Place, Kemptville and St. Lawrence, to Ottawa, Kingston and Belleville.

“Being able to grow was fun, that’s the part I enjoyed the most,” he admitted. “I loved buying new companies and adding newspapers.”

“We took five papers to 26 and went from 64,000 (circulation) to half a million papers delivered to doors,” Mount added, which prompted several press expansions, as well as a bigger online presence.

Mike immersed himself in the community while at the helm of Performance Printing as well. He served on the board of the Perth & Smiths Falls District Hospital and was also credited as the first business to make a large commitment ($100,000) to the Smiths Falls hospital site’s redevelopment campaign.

Accolades also came in from business organizations with Mount being named the Smiths Falls Chamber of Commerce’s Business Person of the Year in 2003.

That period of growth in a short amount of time in the mid-2000s was exciting, but Mount credits a dedicated team, including former publisher Duncan Weir and Peter O’Leary, former chief operating officer (then regional

can connect with people, particularly in smaller markets,” he said. “The changes to digital give more ways for people to access the information.”

“Newspaper is still a way for us to connect to our communities,” he said. “Our core business is really telling our communities’ stories to people interested in learning about them. That won’t change.”

Calling the Lorne Street headquarters home for 22 years, Mount said there are many aspects of his job he’ll miss, but one outweighs them all: the people.

“When I say the people, I mean both our employees and our customers,” he said.

“I’m fortunate that in my 22 years working at Performance Printing and Metroland, many of the employees I started with 22 years ago still work for the company.

When you work together that long, you develop relationships and friendships that go beyond the 9-to-5 job.”

“That’s what I’ll miss, having a reason to be together with a great group of people everyday.”

Kids get new link to sports Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A new partnership has been forged to give vulnerable kids in more neighbourhoods a chance to realize their potential.

The new not-for-profit Ottawa Community Sport Media Team is now working with the Ottawa Community Housing Foundation’s Rec Link program to give kids living in three community housing neighbourhoods free access and transportation to recreational programs, camps and sports clubs, including those at higher competitive levels.

“You might play basketball in your after-school program, but if we link you up to a basketball club that are the experts in youth athlete development, we can really put them on the path to succeeding in sport,” said Dan Plouffe, Kanata-based executive director of the sport media

ing link Rec Link needed.

“We couldn’t level up kids because we didn’t have those connections,” Howlett said, adding that Rec Link is likewise able to provide Plouffe with insight on the complex barriers families face and the communities they live in.

Staff at OCH community houses are also key contributors to this collaboration.

The partnership, announced March 31 at the RA Centre in the Billings Bridge community, coincided with the launch of the not-for-profit sport media team.

“Covering local community sport you see the passion of everyone involved and you see all the time and effort that they put into it,” said Plouffe. “So to have the opportunity to open that up to other kids who probably wouldn’t get that chance without us linking up to those partners is really special.”

team, its Camps Project for youth-in-need and editor of the Ottawa Sportspage newspaper.

“Dan is out there hitting the pavement and meeting people and these clubs and doing stories on the various athletes,” Tara Howlett, community engagement director of the Ottawa Community Housing Foundation and Rec Link, which helps link kids, ages six to 18, to sports and recreation programs through bursaries.

“We each had a piece of what the other was missing,” she said.

Through the new partnership, clubs that offer free positions to OCH youth through the media team’s Camps Project, which stands for Connecting Athletes of All Means to Paths in Sport, can advertise for free in Plouffe’s sports publication.

Plouffe also has strong connections with Ottawa’s elite sports clubs, the miss-

Tara Howlett, community engagement director of the Ottawa Community Housing Foundation and Rec Link, and Dan Plouffe, executive director of the new Ottawa Community Sport Media Team, say their new partnership will give more kids living in Ottawa Community Housing neighbourhoods, such as Britannia Woods, access to sports and other recreational activities.

The goal now is to reach at least 50 kids in Rochester Heights, Britannia Woods and Carson Grove this year.

Since 2011, more than 500 kids in the Dalhousie area, which includes Rochester Heights, have enjoyed sports and other recreational activities through Social Rec Connect, as Rec Link was known until last year when it joined the housing foundation.

The hope is that the program can one day be available to all 15 Ottawa Community Houses, Howlett said.

“What we realized is a lot of the families that come from low-income

backgrounds, they have a lot of complex barriers that make it difficult for their children to get connected to recreation,” she said.

These neighbourhoods are home to many single parents, big families with multiple children and families on a tight budget that may be challenged to pay for sports registration and equipment fees, Howlett said, adding that some families are challenged by language barriers, while others may not be able to easily transport their kids to extra-curricular activities.

“So we’re really looking forward to making a difference in those three communities,” said Howlett. “And
