City ‘needs to pick up its socks’

Beaverbrook’s infrastructure deteriorating: community association president Adam Kveton

“I think that there is a need for the city to pick up its socks and invest in what is a very busy community, one of the finest in Ottawa,” said Gary Sealey.

Sealey, who has been association president for four years, said taking care of Beaverbrook’s community spaces was original-

ly the association’s responsibility. However, after amalgamation, the city took on responsibility for those areas.

Though he says the city has yet to really take responsibility.

2 Kanata Kourier-Standard EMC - Thursday, April 10, 2014

He said paths that have been around since the creation of Beaverbrook nearly 50 years ago are not adequately maintained through the winter.

Also, the community centre is rundown and does not meet accessibility standards according to the city’s own audit, and central facilities and townhouses are in need of updates, he added.

These problems require greater investment from both the city and developers, he said.

“If the city is going to own the parks and playgrounds and community centres and so on, there is really a need to continue to invest in them,” said Sealey.

He added that investments from developers to update their properties in keeping with the Beaverbrook’s Garden City roots are necessary as well.

Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson agreed that Beaverbrook needs work done as it continues to grow older. However, Wilkinson said Beaverbrook would not have a community centre if not for a 20-year lease extension she, Sealey and others brokered with the city.

Also, some of the investment Sealey is asking for is in the

Gary Sealey

works, she said.

The city is moving on its accessibility audit of the Beaverbrook community centre, with an elevator, an improved entrance and rearranged bathroom stalls to make the building more accessible.

Wilkinson added that she is also looking into other things like path improvements, but cautioned that quick movement on these items is unlikely.

Wilkinson said she hopes to have the city’s half of the project, $200,000, in the budget for 2015, with the owner of the building, the Beaverbrook mall, paying the other half.

“In the new city of Ottawa, nothing happens very quickly,” she said. “When it was Kanata, we used to be able to handle things a lot faster.”

Nonetheless, she said getting

the elevator going at the community centre will hopefully open doors for more improvements, and that the community association can play a role securing grants that the city cannot get itself.

Sealey is stepping down during a very busy year for the community. Beaverbrook will be celebrating its 50-year anniversary as the city studies the area in consideration of granting modern heritage status.

The Briarcliffe Heritage Conservation District was designated in 2013 and is believed to be the first group of modern homes in Canada to be designated as “heritage.”

Sealey said he sees the study as an encouraging development for the community, but one not meant to keep Beaverbrook from changing.

Though he won’t be acting as the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association’s president, he hopes to still have a role.

“What I would like to do is continue to assist Beaverbrook with the heritage designation which is coming up, a heritage designation which is not to freeze every doorknob on every door, but rather to help Beaverbrook evolve.”

Sealey went on to say he does not intend to run for mayor or councillor this year.

He is finishing his fourth year as planned, having announced previously that 2013 would be his last year as president.

“I’ve served a rather long time,” said Sealey, “and (the association) is supposed to belong to the people, not just to one person.”

He has been an integral part of the association, said the association’s second vice president Beata Myhill.

During his tenure, Sealey has helped to increase the number of community events, calm tensions over new development proposals, invite more members of the community to voice their opinions and liaise with other community associations in Kanata and across the city, said Myhill.

“Gary provided leadership and organizational skills to the Beaverbrook Community Association,” she said. “It was a time of great stress and anxiety due to new development proposals.

His quiet, diligent, leadership style helped to keep the lines of communication open.”

Community - The Kanata Food Cupboard’s annual general meeting on April 2 was a chance to review and celebrate the hard work of volunteers and acknowledge the growing need for the organization’s services every year.

Though the organization is helping more and more people every year, the group’s chair, Marc Dumais, said he is hoping that even more of those in need ask for the food cupboard’s help.

“The need has been climbing every year,” said Dumais, and the food cupboard has seen that reflected in the number of people who come to them for assistance.

The organization helped about 10,500 people last year, including repeat customers.

Fresh food added to grocery store concept Continued from page 3

R0012636118-0410

“It’s completely confidential,” said Dumais. “(Clients) call a number, they will speak to a volunteer and they get entered in the database. We don’t ask ‘How much money do you make? Is your kid working?

Is your husband working? How many cars do you own? How big is your house?’ We don’t ask any of those questions because everybody’s circumstances are different,” he said.

Dumais also emphasized the food cupboard’s new concept for giving out food, or rather, letting clients choose the food they want.

In the fall of 2012, the food cupboard started its grocery store concept, creating a mock grocery store on the first floor of St. Paul’s Anglican Church at 20 Young Rd. “Before, depending on the size of the family, we would pack (clients’) food for them and give them a bag so it was like a handout,” said Dumais.

Now, clients are given time to pick products off the shelves themselves and choose what they want. While there are limits based on quantity and other considerations, Dumais said the new con-

Kanata Food Cupboard volunteers gather for a meal before the organization’s AGM on April 2. cept has been very well received, and that the food cupboard also rolled out its fresh food portion of the store concept in 2013, offering fresh vegetables, fruits and other things like frozen hamburger meat.

“That’s proving to be very positive,” he said.

In addition to the store concept, the food cupboard also changed its scheduling process. Whereas clients used to leave a message

asking for a time to meet with volunteers, now the organization has people stationed at their phones to speak with clients immediately and book a time to go to the food cupboard store.Dumais said the new changes have been working well, and that volunteers continue to be a main reason for the food cupboard’s success.

At the annual general meeting, the food cupboard gave out two awards to recognize volunteers:

a group award and an individual award.

The winners of the group award were the client booking telephone team responsible for speaking to clients and scheduling monthly pick up or delivery times.

The individual award went to Phil Waters who continues to be a major supporter of many of the food cupboard’s events, and often acts as photographer as well.

Kanata to hold Walk of the Cross on Good Friday

Kanata Walk of the Cross

Community – Kanata will host its 29th-annual Walk of the Cross on Good Friday, April 18.

The walk started 29 years ago, when a group of Christian churches decided to hold a symbolic interdenominational event on Good Friday.

The church ministerial group met and, with the help of the Kanata InterChurch Council, an annual Walk of the Cross began.

The Christian churches hosted a symbolic procession through community streets with participants carrying a wooden cross and stopping at significant spots for scripture readings and reflection.

A member of Holy Redeemer parish, Tom Flood, made the original wooden cross that is still used today.

Each year a different church hosts the walk. This year, St. John’s Anglican Church, in South March, will host the event for the first time ever.

St. John’s is celebrating the 175th anniversary of its founding.On Friday, April 18, the event will begin at noon and last about an hour and a half.

The event will start with a short welcome by Rev. Karen Coxon, incumbent of the Anglican Parish of March, 325 Sandhill Rd. in Briarbrook Participants will then proceed to South March Public School, 1032 Klondike Rd., Fellowship

Choral society hold fundraiser for new hospice To the editor:

After we learned that a local church in Katimavik was to become the new hospice for Kanata and the western part of the Ottawa region, some choir members thought it would be nice to do some

Connected to your community

This choir is well known for their fund raising abilities. Now in its 23rd year this choir organizes an annual Alta Vista Carol Sing in aid for the Heron Road Food Bank. They raised more than $5,000 last December.

The Kanata Choral Society was honoured to be a part of this Carol Sing and now a choir from the Alta Vista area will join us in this benefit concert and sharing their gift of music with us.

The Kanata Choral Society has selected music from their favourite repertoire: Look at the World by John Rutter; I Dreamed of Rain by Jan Garrett, from the Westside Story and others. We hope that singers in the community like to come and join us in singing a grand finale of the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s Messiah.

So dust off your Messiah score or download a copy from the Choral Public Domain at cpdl.org and join the Kanata Choral Society on Monday, April 7, at 8 p.m. for a run-through and staging. The rehearsal address is St. Paul’s Anglican Church, 20 Young Rd. For more information for this, please call 613-592-1991.

Information regarding the new hospice will be available during the Intermission and some representatives will be able to answer questions at the reception.

The concert takes place on Saturday, April 12, 7:30 p.m., at St. Paul’s Anglican Church, 20 Young Rd. Tickets are available at the door or at CD Warehouse, all locations, and cost $20 or $18 in advance (adults), and $15 (seniors, students).

For more information, please visit KanatachoralsoL’événement ciety.ca or call 613-592-6302

fundraising by what we like doing best: singing.

We invited other choirs to join us on Saturday, April 12, to entertain the audience by presenting their favourite music and participate in a massed choir sing.

One of the choirs is the Glen Cairn United Church Choir under the direction of Scott Auchinleck and the other choir is the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church Choir under the direction of Francine Brisebois.

Knudson traffic calming article misleading To the editor:

Re: City presents Knudson speeding solutions, March 27, KKS. I felt your article on the Knudson traffic calming measures was misleading. Your report left the reader with the impression that Knudson was a dangerous road. If you read the actual report, that impression is not correct. In particular, a couple of the callouts appeared to be promoting hysteria.

The first subhead states that people who live on Knudson are faced with “living on a race track”. This is misleading.

I am sure there are some excessive speeders but if you read the report, you will see that most drivers appear to be travelling in the 50 to 55 kilometres per hour range.

You will also see that the report identifies 50 kilometers per hour as the “desirable” speed for the road. So having people driving 50-55 kilometers per hour in a 40 kilometre zone hardly qualifies as “living on a race track.”

Particularly when the city has identified the desirable speed for the road to be 50 kilometres per hour.

Your second callout states that there have been “15 accidents between 2010 and 2012 ... one involving a bicycle”.

While accurate, the callout is also misleading in the context of traffic calming measures.

It’s just BETTER with TWO! FOR

If you read the report, you will see that seven of the 15 accidents occurred at fourway stop intersections. The accident involving the bicycle also occurred at an intersection.

Traffic calming measures will have absolutely no impact on those accidents because people are supposed to be stopped at those locations.

So in reality, there have been eight-vehicle-to-vehicle accidents that have occurred on Knudson in three years in places where traffic calming measure may or may not have worked. That works out to less than three accidents per year on a road that has been designated a “collector” street.

Surely there are other ways to spend our tax dollars.

Benefits of fluoridation and measles’ vaccinations far from convincing To the editor:

Re: “For the Greater Good”, editorial, March 27, KKS. I wish to respond to your editorial on the “overwhelming” benefits of vaccinations for measles and water fluoridation.

Personally, I am not so convinced.

Certainly there are credible sources that tell us that vaccinations are not all that safe. Here’s just one: www. globalresearch.ca/are-vaccines-safe/15669.

With respect to adding fluoride to our water, there are many advanced countries that don’t do it. Are they all wrong? Here’s another source pointing out the harms of fluoridation: fluoridealert.org.

Does anyone remember when cigarette smoking was not considered a health problem?

On television, some doctors even promoted a specific brand. Thalidomide, which came out in the 1950s, touted by the medical system as a way of reducing nausea in pregnant women, resulted in major deformities for many thousands of children. Mammograms, once promoted as an absolute must for all women to detect breast cancer, are recently under scrutiny for causing more harm than good.

I used to think that our health system was only there to look out for me and other Canadians. Since then I’ve come to understand that our health system is a business, one that creates jobs and profits for many people.

More than 10 per cent of our economy is based on health expenditures. Most of that business depends on sick people to keep it going. Very little health care dollars are spent on keeping us healthy.

Does anyone else see the irony in the fact that our health system so strongly promotes vaccinations while doing nothing about the junk food that we all produce, promote, and consume in huge quantities?

I think we all need to educate ourselves about the pros and cons of such things as vaccinations and water fluoridation and then decide on our own, what’s really best.

How can we keep our seniors out of isolation?

L

In fact, the 20 per cent of Canadians over 65 who do not participate in frequent in social activities, or those who are otherwise isolated, are at higher risk for chronic disease, including “lung disease, arthritis, impaired mobility and depressive symptoms,” according to a 2013 report on the subject cited by Miedema.

He notes that social isolation, while it can occur at any age, is a growing problem as the population ages. A report out of King’s College in London, he notes, found the elderly, often retired, lose essential day-to-day contacts over time. They also experience death of family and friends more frequently than those in younger demograph-

Others are more simple, including a “school-to-seniors home” pen pal exercise and monthly spaghetti dinners run

community housing plans.

How can new communities incorporate not just housing, but shops and services that are walkable and green space that would encourage people, including seniors, to get outside?

Part of Toronto’s tower renewal project, established

in 2008, is to do just that.

Toronto is helping property owners and developers of 1,200 high-rise towers built decades ago to refurbish them to make them more sustainable and more accessible.

The next big phase involves rezoning that would allow many of these currently isolated residential spaces to incorporate stores, dentist’s offices and pharmacies on their main levels.

Already, the program has encouraged better use of green space to build playgrounds and community gardens.

In Ottawa, the inspiration of Mayor Jim Watson’s seniors summit seems to have plateaued recently.

As it picks up momentum, I hope the city will consider prescribed roles for each of us in Ottawa’s older adult action plan, specifically those that work to keep our seniors from isolation.

are a number of reasons to be concerned about that – primarily the economic and health burden this represents.

But on a human level, what are we, as a society, doing to ensure that our elderly are not socially isolated? If I may be so bold, we’re not doing enough.

A new study from the Institute for Marriage and Family Canada suggests that social isolation among our elderly is a growing problem, and a significant one. “Research shows that social isolation is as strong a factor in early death as smoking 15 cigarettes a day and alcohol consumption,” writes author Derek Miedema in a report released on April 9.

Further, many are forced to move out of their established neighbourhoods at a time when they are already experiencing loneliness.

In the institute’s report, a number of successful case studies are presented as best practices for helping to reduce social isolation among

ast winter I was at the tail end of a large research project for a client. I rented a hotel room downtown to use as office space. I spent several days and evenings looking out the window between paragraphs.

It was the closest I’ve been to observing people in isolation.

Perhaps “people in isolation” isn’t the best way to phrase it: As I looked down into the windows of the apartments around me, I saw people who were isolated.

It was quite a jarring experience, really. Here they were, in the centre of a large city, yet many of them seemed to sit alone, day in and day out.

Most of them were elderly.

Most of them didn’t shut their curtains at night; no need to reopen them in the morning.

Many sat in the same chair, watching television and receiving no visitors.

At a glance, it may seem that this microcosm has nothing to do with the larger reality. But research into social isolation -- particularly for Canada’s aged population -- suggests it is an accurate depiction of a wider trend.

According to Statistics Canada, the number of Canadians over 65 will outnumber those 14 years and under for the first time at some point in the next seven years. There

EDITORIAL

Separate fact from fiction

T

he best man in Ottawa has taken a tumble courtesy of some shotgun silliness emerging from yet another sensitivity-spooked sports organization in the capital.

A couple weeks ago, the Ottawa RedBlacks introduced Big Joe Mufferaw as the football team’s new mascot to the applause of hundreds of delighted children at the Kanata French public school in Morgan’s Grant. The school’s vice-principal, Matthieu Vachon, said Mufferaw was “a wonderful choice of name.”

“Jos Montferrand is a pioneer of French language rights in Ontario, so it’s a great choice of name for the mascot of the team, and it shows the heritage of Ottawa and eastern Ontario,” he said.

It’s important to note that Big Joe Mufferaw is a fictional character created by Ottawa Valley author Bernie Bedore that was inspired by the exploits of a French Canadian logger. But only three days after the announcement, following a string of “several” complaints, the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group, the group that owns the RedBlacks, gave the name the old heave-ho, deciding to go with Big Joe or Grand Jos. Apparently, the sports group was deluged with “several” emails and phone calls (it didn’t quite reach “dozens” proportions) complaining how the name was an anglicized version of Montferrand.

And don’t forget the “several” people who expressed their displeasure over the Twitterverse, with messages denouncing the football team’s sensitivity to the sensitivities of French Canadians.

It’s time for a reality check: Big Joe Mufferaw is a fictional character. You can dislike a fictional character. You can refuse to read a book or watch a movie about a fictional character. But it’s more than a little silly if you try to stop others from reading or watching movies about a fictional character.

Clearly, the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group (OSEG) were a little gun shy about offending francophones, considering it was only a few months away from the newly created team’s season opener at Lansdowne Park. OSEG should have shown a little backbone and stuck with their original choice.

Ottawa’s professional sports teams are already starting to earn a reputation for being wishy washy.

It’s been little more than a year since Ottawa’s franchise professional basketball team dropped the name TomaHawks, following complaints from several fans, who claimed the team name misappropriated First Nations culture. Tomahawk – it’s an inanimate object. History has shown us that a small and determined group of people can make a real difference in this world. But sometimes they shouldn’t.

f you know Ottawa at all, you know that it is a city of cults. There are little groups, hundreds of them scattered about, that are interested in the most out of the way things.

You might think you are the only one fascinated with, say, the political thought of M.J. Coldwell or the proper way to cook an eel, but there is probably a group meeting about that right now.

For a while it appeared that people who believed in the arrival of spring were another oddball aggregation. But it turns out maybe they were right.

This is by way of an introduction to a unique meeting that happened a couple of weeks ago when the former Montreal Expos outfielder, Ellis Valentine, was in town. An invitation went out to meet him and help the Miracle League of Ottawa, a group that helps special-needs children, young adults and adults play baseball on specially-constructed fields.

Valentine didn’t play long enough for the Expos -- six years -- to become one of the team legends -- except to the cult. He was traded away in the middle of the 1981 playoff season and wasn’t around for some of the exciting times that followed. But he

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town was a fine hitter and outfielder, known for his throwing arm. Before Gary Carter, Andre Dawson and Tim Raines emerged as stars, Valentine was the best guy on the Expos, an all-star in 1977.

And, of course, there are people who remember that, even though Valentine had not been in an Expos uniform for more than 30 years. So they came to a Westboro pub, helped the cause, got autographs and heard Valentine, who had arrived from Texas, give a graceful little speech about the Expos, baseball and the Miracle League.

It would be fair to say that this cult consisted largely of middle-aged men and men who wished they were still middle-aged.

uniform too. We all stood in line for autographs and a chance to chat.

Which is to say that you’re never too old to be fanatical about stuff. And that doesn’t apply just to Westboro. There were undoubtedly many other unexpected events taking place in other Ottawa venues the same night.

The quintessential thing about being in a cult is that you believe, no matter what. A couple of days later the cult of the Expos had grown into a wave, gathered at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal, ostensibly to watch an exhibition baseball game between the Toronto Blue Jays and the New York Mets, but really to will into existence a new major league baseball team for Montreal. Montreal has been without one since 2004. For two days, the Olympic Stadium was filled in a way that the Expos had not been able to fill it in their last doomed years.

This may also have had something to do with being desperate for arrival of spring.

Whatever the reason, they packed the place with roaring voices and Expos shirts that had been in the bottom drawer for many years.

It was an impressive show, a demonstration of hope. It may not succeed, because it is up against the irrational realities of sports capitalism, but it was moving to see.

Among the group at the Ellis Valentine night were people involved in bringing baseball back to what used to be called the Lynx Stadium next year. That’s another demonstration of hope.

The Lynx, in the 1990s, rode a wave of baseball enthusiasm in Ottawa and then suddenly the wave disappeared. Maybe it can reappear. Stranger things happen every day in this town.

Meanwhile, it is comforting to be reminded that, no matter how arcane is your interest, no matter how distant your target, in Ottawa you are not alone. How’s that eel tasting?

Enssemble hope to be city’s top high school company Continued from page 9

While Band.It’s headbands, #Qualitee’s custom hashtag T-shirts and Creacutle’s plant pots are having success of their own, it’s the socks that are taking a step ahead of the others.

Diyang Lu, who spearheaded the entrepreneurship club at Earl of March, explained how he and a group

of 24 students came up with socks with snaps.

After brainstorming a laundry list of product ideas, the company narrowed it down to three possibilities: light switch covers, customizable iPhone cases and the socks.

It was a combination of cost efficiency and aiming at a lucrative target market that narrowed the list down, said Diyang.

“For the iPhone case, it was a very narrow target market and there wasn’t very much room for expansion and there was a lot of competitors already,” he said.

Also, they weren’t able to keep the iPhone’s sleek, stylish design with their homemade case.

As for the light switches, there are just too many different styles of switch to try

Welcome Dr. Amanda Spielman

R0012625920

The Doctors of the Kanata Optometry Centre are pleased to introduce and welcome Dr. Amanda Spielman to their practice. Dr. Spielman has been successfully practising in Ottawa since 2005 and is now accepting new patients. She provides full scope optometric care for patients of all ages, which complements the services presently in place.

and accommodate.

“Whereas the sock idea, we could have different sizes, women’s, men’s, and the thing is a snap is a simple idea. It is easy to use, easy to make and people can see the point to it,’ said Diyang.

After testing their design in both washers and dryers to make sure a small metal snap on a pair of socks was enough to foil a hungry washer or the alternate dimension contained therein, the group went into production.

“Our first sale came midFebruary,” said Diyang, at a parent auction night at Earl of March.

Though the company projected to only sell 10 pairs on their first try, twice as many ended up being sold, and the company received some valuable feedback.

Now the company has sold their product at Carlingwood Mall, Costco and Place D’Orléans.

Along the way, they have refined their product pitch, catching people’s attention by pointing out they are a student run business learning entrepreneurship, and emphasizing the snaps.

Enssemble company members/Earl of March students work on their product – socks with snaps – at Earl of March Secondary School on April 2.

The sales day at Costco has been the most lucrative for the company, said Diyang.

“We sold out half way through the allocated time given to us,” he said, pushing the company past the $1,000 worth of product sold mark.

Now, the company hopes to return to Costco and pump up sales even more. Though each student involved in the company is a shareholder, the endeavour isn’t about making money.

“Our goal is to become the best junior achievement company in Ottawa,” said Diyang, and also learn about business.

“It’s not all about making money, it’s to make sure that everybody involved understands the process of it; sales, marketing, production, every aspect,” he said.

“If you ask any of them, they’ve been part of the design of the product and how we market it to customers.”

Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre executive director Cathy Jordan presents the Eva James Award to recipient Bob McGaraughty at the resource centre annual volunteer appreciation breakfast at the NEXT Restaurant in Stittsville last Friday.

Resource centre honours volunteers John Curry

News - Volunteers were front and centre at the annual volunteer appreciation breakfast hosted by the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre at the NEXT Restaurant in Stittsville on April 4.

The resource centre honoured volunteers with service pins as well as the Eva James Award, the resource centre’s top award for volunteers.

Robert P.J. McGaraughty, who has chaired the resource centre’s board of directors for the past three years, received the Eva James Award this year.

The Eva James Award recognizes a resource centre volunteer who best personifies the commitment and dedication exemplified by the late Eva James, a community volunteer who passed away in 1995 and who was one of the key people who helped create the resource centre.

The recipient of the Eva James Award must have provided numerous hours of volunteer service to the organization and have gone above and beyond the call of duty.

In presenting the award, resource centre executive director Cathy Jordan noted that Bob McGaraughty is a committed lifelong volunteer who has contributed not just to the resource centre but to his community as well.

This has involved coaching a soccer team, volunteering on the parent council at Stonecrest Elementary School at Woodlawn and chair of the Nepean Support Services before it merged with the resource centre. He joined the resource centre board of directors shortly after the merger and has served as the board chair for the past three years, just recently turning

over the chairmanship to new chair Mike Merpaw.

McGaraughty said that he was “honoured and extremely humbled” to receive the Eva James Award which is named after someone who worked continuously to make her community better.

He said that over the years he had read the plaques identifying the Eva James Award recipients which line the stairwell at the resource centre building.

He paid particular tribute to 2008 Eva James Award recipient JeanPierre Beaulne of Stittsville whom he cited for his love of family and love of country and with whom he had worked with at the resource centre.

“This organization can only survive with a strong commitment from our volunteers,” McGaraughty said.

Among those receiving volunteer service pins at the event was Ruth Kennedy who was honoured for volunteering with the resource centre for the past 25 years. She became a volunteer when the resource centre was just four years old and has remained one over the ensuing quarter century.

VOLUNTEER PINS

Ruth Kennedy’s 25-year-volunteer service pin highlighted the presentation of the volunteer service pins at this volunteer appreciation breakfast.

Those honoured for two years volunteer service included June Brien, Ken Crifero, George James, Marilyn James, Crystal Kluke, Ann McAlear, Solar Ou, Neil Thompson, Jean Vanderzon, Gerard Vanderzon and Lisa Wright.

Mendes Toyota Grand Re-Opening: Celebrating the Ottawa Toyota Community

by Brian Turner On March 27, a few hundred of Joe Mendes and Arnie Mierins closest friends gathered at 1181 Bank St. (at Walkley Road) to celebrate their brand new facility dedicated to their legions of customers. To say that this project was a refurbishment would be akin to comparing the rebuilding of our parliament buildings to a fire clean-up restoration. The friendly neighbourhood Toyota store (which remained open every day of the 2 year project) has grown from 28,000 to 56,000 square feet and has earned the enviable titles as the first LEED certified (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) auto dealership in the city and the largest Toyota dealership east of Toronto. And not only is Mendes Toyota LEED certified, it’s Gold LEED certified!

Like the products they

(left to right): Lisa Mierens, Larry Hutchinson of Toyota Canada, Ottawa City Councillo Maria McRae, Joe Mendes

sell, Joe and Arnie and their teams dedicated their efforts in the design and build to create the most efficient use of space to deliver a warm welcoming atmosphere while ensuring that every model of the ever growing Toyota and Scion lineup could be displayed in climatecontrolled comfort.

Customers can drop their vehicles off for service in one of the largest drive-in reception areas in the region. They can quickly visit with their Toyota-trained service consultants and either wait in the cushiest seats in any house to catch up on the latest news, or be whisked to work or back home in a Mendes Toyota shuttle.

While some retailers might find the impact of a change of this magnitude difficult for their customers to

process and accept, that hasn’t been a concern for the family of Mendes clients due to the efforts of a team of long-serving staff. As general sales manager Steve Abfalter noted, “When our founder is the first person in every morning and makes it a point to chat with as many customers as possible, it creates a true philosophy that we welcome everyone and make it our business to make things easy and trouble-free for them.”

Many of Steve’s sales consultants have been with Mendes Toyota for the majority of their careers having learned that when you offer the best automotive product on the planet in a setting that respects customers and staff equally, there really is no reason to look elsewhere.

The all-new Mendes Toyota/Scion is now

Ottawa’s only dedicated Toyota truck centre, with showroom space and specially trained staff to look after the needs of personal and commercial truck buyers and operators.

Larry Hutchinson, VP of Toyota Canada Sales remarked at the ribbon cutting that “Toyota has a product to fit every need and motoring desire.”

He added that he and the entire management group at Toyota Canada were “extremely grateful to be able to partner with Joe Mendes and his group to reinvest back into the community that had so strongly supported them over the 35 years of selling and servicing Toyotas.”

He also remarked that Joe had set a remarkable milestone in selling over 25,000 new Toyotas since opening in 1978 and that the next 25,000 wouldn’t take nearly as long thanks to his tremendous efforts and a gleaming new home for the brand.” Joe Mendes himself was quick to mention that creating such a lasting tribute to all his customers such as the new facility was a real team effort involving hundreds of skilled professionals and a very dedicated staff. He singled out his longtime friend and business associate Arnie

for special recognition, noting that “without his friendship and partnership, none of this would be possible.”

The chair of Ottawa’s Environment Committee, Councilor Maria McRae was also on hand for the grand reopening and congratulated Joe and his team for their efforts to reduce their environmental footprint with such innovative building features such as the use of rainwater for carwashes and toilets, having all lights controlled by ambient light sensors and timers, exceeding building code standards in wall and glass insulation ratings, and using recycled stone for flooring tiles.

The most impressive side of the entire evening was the large group of customers, eager to pass along their congratulations and best wishes to Joe and his staff. Young and young-at-heart, families, couples, professionals, and motoring enthusiasts were all on hand. Even some of Joe’s first customers were there proving that 35 years didn’t fade their appreciation for a community leader that has earned their business.

Just like Toyota products, Mendes Toyota’s reliability and value are legendary.

Volunteers receive five-year service pins included James Bear, Chris Long, Lianne Lutz, Bernie MacDonald, Gerry Marshall, Heidi McKean, Bill McLeish, Mavis Pritchard, Sharon Van Milligan, Sandra Wilson, Ed Zenowski and Helene Zenowski.

Phyllis Powell and Tony Sprake were honoured for 10 years of volunteer service while volunteers of 15-year service pins were Edwina Comerford, Iain Grant, Martha Lee, Win Lee, Ida Marcille, Lloyd Marcille, Patsy Moodie, Nancy Morrison, Frances Norman, Betty Pierunek, Mary Shoup, Joanna Sirois, Louis Sirois and Betty Williams.

“This centre was built on volunteers,” resource centre executive director Cathy Jordan told those at the volunteer appreciation breakfast, noting that volunteers are fundamental to the resource centre’s work in the community, saying that the resource centre could not do its work without the involvement of volunteers.

She said that the resource centre currently has 223 volunteers who in the past year have

given more than 20,000 hours of service.

“The volunteer contribution is absolutely priceless,” she said.

Her thoughts about the value and contribution of volunteers were echoed by city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson who attended the breakfast.

He thanked the volunteers present for the great work that they do in the community, say-

The volunteer contribution is absolutely priceless.

Cathy Jordan

ing that the city would not be the place it is without the work of volunteers whom he called role models for the next generation.

Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri used the example of a flock of geese flying in a V formation where one bird is helping another by providing an environment with less drag and resistance, allowing the flock to fly farther than each individual bird could on its own.

He said that the geese dem-

onstrate what working as a team is all about and that’s what resource centre volunteers do: work as a team and as an extended family.

“It’s the touch that you add to each life, each day, each minute,” Qadri said.

New resource centre chair Mike Merpaw told the volunteers that the board is very much aware of the great impact of the volunteers on the services that the resource centre provides.

He praised them for the contribution that they make to the lives of others.

This resource centre volunteer appreciation breakfast was held just before National Volunteer Week which runs this week from April 6 to 12.

The Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre provides a range of programs and services to those residing in the west Ottawa area including Stittsville, Goulbourn, West Carleton, Kanata and Nepean.

Staff works with volunteers and community partners to deliver these health and social services.

In 2004, the resource centre opened Chrysalis House, a 25 bed shelter for women and children who are fleeing abusive situations.

The hospice is hoping to raise $150,000 between its three locations to help fund its operating costs.

“It raises the money for the programs and services we provide without charge,” said Cameron.

“It’s also a fantastic opportunity for the community to realize all the services we provide.”

This year, the hike will honour three local individuals who passed away: Marsha McConnery, Craig Gordon and Lennox Sterling.

HIKE

Hospice Care Ottawa is the result of the amalgamation of Friends of Hospice Ottawa and the Hospice at

“He and his wife run a small market, that is their livelihood,” said Collins. “He’s been doing it for five years and he’s doing a wonderful job.”

with a passive audience listening to an expert, said Collins. Instead, it’s a dynamic, two-way interaction between a specialist and the public.

The goal of the April meeting, Collins said, is to bring a local focus back into consumer habits.

“If people are still interested in eating locally, then there are still opportunities for the family farm to continue to survive,” said Collins. “The West Carleton area is a strong farm-

News - An upcoming science café will focus on building sustainable family farms with a spotlight on access to healthy local food.

Moe Garahan, the executive director of Just Food, will speak at an upcoming Science Café Kanata event on Tuesday, April 15 about her new program, the Just Food Farm School.

The event is one of a series of talks organized by Val Collins, executive director of Smart City Science. The organization aims to promote and sustain non-profit science engagement activities in western Ottawa, and put on family-centred science events.

The first science café was held in England in 1998, with the movement soon spreading to Europe, South America, the U.S. and Australia. Most are held free of charge and are loosely affiliated through an international umbrella organization called Café Scientifique. Different from traditional lecture series, science cafés encourage two-way communications, insisting on an informal, come-as-you-are at-

mosphere.

The Science Café Kanata series introduces expert speakers to the public on subjects related to science, creativity and innovations in the community.

Just Foods, based in Blackburn Hamlet, is one such organization, said Collins.

“Just Foods has a number of programs related to food security,” she said. “(Garahan) can talk about the successes and the challenges that small family farms are facing.”

Garahan was part of the founding

team for the Good Food Box program in the city and has taken leadership roles organizing at regional, provincial and national levels on food and farming issues.

The café is a free event – designed to be an informal gathering for anyone who is interested in learning more about the evening’s topic – and will take place from 7 to 8 p.m. at Zak’s Diner in the Signature Centre.

The gathering is not a long lecture

Rideau Carleton Raceway will offer 90 horse-racing dates in the-2014-15 season thanks to the announcement of $5.25-million annual funding from the province for five years.

Raceway gets ‘lifeline’ funding Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Rideau Carleton Raceway and horse owners are breathing a sigh of relief after the province confirmed a $26.5-million lifeline to keep racing alive.

The new funding program announced funding on March 31 to replace the Slots at Racetracks program, which the province axed two years ago. While the $26.5 million over five years won’t match the old funding, it’s enough to keep racing going, said Alex Lawryk, spokesman for the raceway.

“It’s a positive step, but it’s not what we had,” Lawryk said.

Before the old funding program was cancelled, Rideau Carleton hosted 154 races a year.

With the new $5.25 million annual funding for five years, the raceway is looking to offer 90 races this season.

The raceway has only been able to continue hosting racing for the past two years because it had money from the previous

slots program leftover after the funding was cancelled, Lawryk said. That money has now run out, so without the new funding, Rideau Carleton would have only offered “a few dozen” racing opportunities each year.

That’s simply because the owners love and are committed to racing, which has been part of the raceway for 50 years, Lawryk said.

“It would just be a local, regional-size track,” he said. “That

would be the owner’s wish ...

I’m sure they wouldn`t want to shut it down. If there was no gaming and no revenue, it would be very costly.”

Week in Review This week is National Volunteer Week across Canada and I have had the pleasure to attend several volunteer recognition events around the ward. As I long time volunteer myself, I know that Volunteers have an enormous impact on the health and well-being of our community.

The Kanata Food Cupboard hosted their volunteer appreciation reception this past week. The food cupboard was started in 1985 and serves between 220-300 families a month, thanks to many helping hands.

In 2008 the KFC set up 2 awards to recognize the outstanding efforts of their volunteers. This year’s volunteer group of the year went to their client booking telephone team, who receive all the client calls that come in to the food cupboard. The second award for Volunteer of the Year was awarded to Phil Waters who for many years has been a major supporter of the Kanata Food Cupboard. Congratulations to both recipients!

The Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre also held their volunteer appreciation breakfast this past week. The WOCRC has over 230 volunteers many of whom have been volunteering for over 10 years. I would like to welcome the incoming Chair of the WOCRC’s Board of Directors; Michael Merpaw and thank outgoing Chair Bob McGaraughty for his years of service with WOCRC. Each year since 1999, the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre has honoured one of their dedicated volunteers with the Eva James Award. This year’s recipient was Bob McGaraughty who has been the Chair of the WOCRC’s Board of Directors for the past 3 years. Congratulations Bob on receiving this award.

We are fortunate to have so many great volunteer organizations within our community and I would like to thank all the Kanata volunteers for their dedication to helping others.

It was a great addition to have Mayor Watson join me this past weekend, in our community, at the Trailwest Pancake Breakfast that was held at Kristina Kiss park.

City Councillor, Kanata north OTTAWA HAS PERFECT DRINKING WATER I have received the annual summary report from the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) for 2013. Councillors have a legal oversight responsibility of compliance to MOE standards to ensure that all of our water systems (there are 7, ranging from a village well system in Carp to two major plants on the Ottawa River) meet strict standards. The city tests the water hundreds of thousands of times per year to ensure a reliable, safe supply of water to Ottawa residents. I’m pleased that the MOE report shows a perfect score from MOE, who looked at 14 different aspects of operations, including drinking water quality, water quality monitoring and operator certification. Why pay for bottled water when you have excellent tap water at a very low cost? Use reusable water bottles and then have fun with the money you’ll save. You can view the information on each of our water systems at www.ottawa.ca .

These locations might change due to underground utilities or safety factors, so review them and send your comments to Canada Post, myself and the KBCA. Canada Post prefers locations on sidewalks (we have few), with lighting from street lights (again there are few) and placed in groups. For town house condominiums and rentals, Canada Post is working with the Condominium Boards and town house owners to determine locations, but these may be near other homes and also need to be reviewed.

Apartment buildings are already served by group boxes in their buildings.

On April 24th at 7 pm the KBCA, during their Annual General Meeting, will start a discussion on Post Box locations at the Beaverbrook Community Centre (west end of the Beaverbrook Mall) showing the most up to date locations available at that time. Further meetings will be held as needed.

NATIONAL WILDLIFE WEEK Find out about wildlife control and living with wildlife from a panel on Friday, April 11 at 7 p.m. in Andrew S. Haydon Hall (Council Chambers) at City Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue West. The topic of this session is Backyard Biodiversity: Welcoming nature into your yard, not your home.

In addition, from 6- 9 pm, you can view a nature slideshow and visit an environmental exposition to find out more about what’s happening in Ottawa.

CASINO EXPANSION RACETRACK’S FUTURE

Lawryk said the raceway hasn’t been told about a longterm strategy for funding horse racing after the five-year funding runs out, but at least in Rideau Carleton’s case, the facility is hoping to have a casino open by then.

Last summer, city council voted to limit any expansion

erating as a casino, but the province has yet to announce the details of that integration plan.

Additional activity at the raceway – along with more funding – is what Rideau Carleton is hoping for, Lawryk said.

The wild card will be which political party is overseeing the program after the next provincial election, if a vote is called soon, he said.

Lawryk said he is expect-

ing an announcement with more information in the next month.

The company that owns Rideau Carleton did express interest in being selected by the OLG to operate the future casino at their site, but the decision on short listing qualified bidders has been delayed, Lawryk said.

If Rideau Carleton Entertainment wins the contract, Lawryk said a casino expansion would be a long-term certainty. “(The OLG) originally wanted the site to grow to 2,000 slot machines and three times the number of tables – something like 60 gaming tables (as part of the gambling modernization plan),” Lawryk said.

“If the utilization of the 1,250 slot machines grows significantly, there is no reason why (the OLG) couldn’t re-approach council and ask for a zoning change to ask for a couple hundred more slots.

“In that 20 years, I’m sure there will be a need to review the numbers,” Lawryk said.

Olde Forge to host spring fair Olde Forge Community Resource Centre

After an unusually long winter, spring has finally sprung and with it comes a replay of last year’s highly successful spring fair organized by The Olde Forge Community Resource Centre team.

Scheduled for Thursday, April 24, at the Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre, 102 Greenview Ave., the fair will be going all out to showcase products and services of interest to the older adult.

Opening at 10.30 a.m. and closing at 1.30 p.m., visitors can enjoy a morning stroll around the 38 booths while enjoying a complimentary coffee and, as the morning wear on, a box lunch catered by Nate’s Deli which will offer a gluten-free option among its menu choices.

“We’ve priced entrance tickets at $10,” says Mary Houston-Lambert, chair of the centre’s board of directors.

“We wanted to keep the cost as reasonable as possible and have a fun day as well,” she said. “As part of the fun there’s a 50-50 draw, a chance to win a basket crammed with local produce and preserves from the good folk at the Carp Farmers’ Market and a silent auction with many items on which to place a bid.”

Tickets are on sale now.

“I encourage people to get a ticket well in advance of the fair to avoid disappointment,” said Houston-Lambert.

“Last year we had a full house.”

For more information or to purchase tickets call The Olde Forge at 613-829-9777.

CITY OF OTTAWA CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT COMBINED SEWAGE STORAGE TUNNEL NOTICE OF FILING OF ADDENDUM In February 2013, the City of Ottawa completed a ‘Schedule C’ Class Environmental Assessment (EA) to develop a preferred solution and functional design for additional storage of combined sewage in the ultimate combined sewer area of Ottawa. In 2013, Combined Sewage Storage Tunnel (CSST) Environmental Study Report (ESR) was completed.

The preferred design of the CSST consists of an east-west tunnel (EWT) through the downtown core from LeBreton Flats to New Edinburgh Park and a north-south tunnel (NST) along Kent Street from Catherine Street to the existing outfall north of Wellington Street. The 2013 ESR concluded that the preferred design for the NST would include a construction staging area in St. Laurent Square.

After consultation took place during preliminary design of the CSST in 2014, it was determined that the CSST could be extended south to Chamberlain Street for an alternative construction staging area for the NST. The resulting change in the preferred construction staging area requires additional property. An addendum is required to evaluate the potential environmental implications.

By this Notice, the Addendum is being placed on the public record in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Engineers Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2000, as amended 2007 and 2011). Please note that only the changes proposed in the Addendum are open for review.

A copy of the Addendum report, and the 2013 ESR, will be available for viewing at the following locations: http://ottawa.ca/en/city-hall/public-consultations/sewers-and-wastewater/combined-sewer-overflows City of Ottawa, Client Service Centre: 110 Laurier Avenue West Ottawa Public Library, Hazeldean: 50 Castlefrank Road Ottawa Public Library, Ruth E.

Worse construction season than last year: city Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Ottawa residents should brace for an even busier road construction season than last year, the city says.

From highway lane restrictions and ramp closures to road resurfacing and the complete closure of Belfast Road and St. Joseph Boulevard, the upcoming road works are sure to put more bumps in your commute than last year, said Phil Landry, di-

rector of traffic operations.

The message again this year was clear: walk, cycle or take the bus instead. OC Transpo is adding a big boost to ridership capacity, especially in the east end, to account for anticipated traffic snarls. There will be space for 5,200 riders in the morning peak and 4,600 riders on the way home from work between the downtown and Orléans. This year, 540 buses will have bike racks.

Landry said commuters have been spared what would have been the most massive construction headache to date: all-day lane restrictions the construction contractor proposed for eight weeks on Highway 417. The city rejected that outright, Landry said.

“It would create unimaginable delays and was unacceptable for the

city and residents,” he said.

Instead, Highway 417 will be reduced to two lanes between Nicholas Street and the split only on weeknights and on weekends from 9 p.m. on Friday to 6 a.m. on Monday for six weeks starting in late May. “The work between Nicholas and the split continues to be our single biggest challenge with respect to overall mobility throughout the city this year with impacts being felt to the east and west well outside of the project’s limits,” Landry said.

Highway 417 ramp closures between Nicholas and the split will also make motorists’ lives more difficult throughout the summer.

Commuters in the west end will also have to grapple with the reduction of the Carp Road overpass starting in April. It will be reduced to a single lane alternating directions while the bridge is rehabilitated Highway widening in the west end will continue until the fall.

The Castlefrank Road eastbound on-ramp to Highway 417 will be closed for a month starting in May. Overall, the city will spend $127 million on 80 products to renew roads and utilities or build new infrastructure representing 50 kilometres of roads in total. Four million dollars of that is slated to improve congested intersections, while $2 million is dedicated exclusively to 13 projects

If vehicles are parked on the street, the un-swept area is noted and crews must then return to sweep that portion. Your patience and cooperation in keeping vehicles off the streets during the spring cleanup is appreciated.

The dates of street sweeping are weather dependant. Annually, the City sweeps over 6,500 kilometres of roadway and over 2,000 kilometres of sidewalks to keep Ottawa clean and green.

The city is urging residents to find other modes of transportation this spring, summer and fall as an even busier construction season ramps up. to build 6.5 km of new cycling facilities. Some road construction budgets also include cycling facilities.

The spring roadwork season will kick off with street sweeping starting April 14.

ROAD CLOSURES

By far the longest-running traffic impact will be the two-year complete closure of Belfast Road between Coventry Road and Trainyards, Landry said. Tremblay Road will remain open, but the long-term closure is needed for construction on the depot for light-rail trains, in addition to the rehabilitation of the road and bridge.

It’s not the only long-term closure: St. Joseph Boulevard, a major commercial artery in Orléans, will be completely shut down all summer, and Lees Avenue on Old Ottawa East will be closed for 12 weeks in the fall while the Highway 417 overpass is replaced.

CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

Five kilometres of Baseline Road is also set to be resurfaced between Woodroffe Avenue and Prince of Wales Drive.

Greenbank Road will be widened south of Fallowfield Road starting in May and continuing into the fall of 2015.

Churchill Avenue will be under construction between Carling and Byron avenues.

The MacDonald Cartier Bridge to Gatineau will see lane reductions this year as the federal government undertakes some rehabilitation work.

Work on the Orléans watermain will resume, affecting a number of roads throughout the east end.

The city will also spend more than $51 million to repave roads this year. The rough pothole season took a toll on roads but no additional work is planned because of the pothole-filled spring, however, Landry said the city re-arranged the schedule to repave some streets sooner.

Bumpy Highway 174 will be resurfaced this spring and summer.

Some road projects that begin last year, including on Rideau Street, Elgin Street, Montreal Road, Queen Street and Sussex Avenue, Trim Road, the Hunt Club interchange, the Minto Bridges and the Jockvale Bridge will continue this season.

Bio-dome to be constructed this month michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Once the ground thaws, a group of eager gardeners in Old Ottawa South will be ready to start building the city’s first bio-dome garden.

The project, approved last year for a grant from the city’s Better Neighbourhood’s Office, will provide a cost-effective way to grow fresh food all year. Project manager Michael Oster said construction on the much-anticipated project should begin this month.

The dome will be the first of its kind for the city, Oster said.

“Our goal was to have it constructed in 2013,” Oster said, but timing and planning for the project made that impossible. Working with the city, Oster said the grant deadline was extended to make sure the project still could be completed.

The group partnered with the Southeast Ottawa Community Centre to apply for funding for the project.

According to Oster, the local firm Christopher Sim-

monds Architect Inc. played an instrumental role in guiding the project team to successfully apply to the city for the building permit, which was issued in February.

“Given the complex nature of this ground-breaking project, it was not surprising that several iterations were required with city of Ottawa, throughout which Christopher Simmonds and his team were always highly professional, available, and creative in supporting us,” Oster said.

Another local firm called EcoAce is acting as the general contractor on a pro-bono basis. EcoAce’s founder, Guy Souliere, became interested in combining social enterprise and the environment, so he returned to study green business management at Algonquin College and studying permaculture design. Souliere said he became so excited about aquaponics and bio-domes that in 2011 he joined the founders of Brewer Park Community Garden, and became the build committee chairman, and presented the idea of aquaponics and year-round gardening to the group, which led to the in-

clusion of the bio-dome in the community garden’s ongoing vision.

The committee had plans to hold a consultation on April 6 about the project for residents to learn more and to sign up for tasks for the building day.

“We are eager for volunteers,” Oster said.

The dome will be added to an already thriving garden, which has 70 garden boxes, including specific boxes for children, the resource centre, the food bank and berry boxes.

Adding the bio-dome is just another step to the completion of the community garden, Oster said.

“The bio-dome garden has always been part of the vision of the garden,” he said.

Construction is planned for Earth Day, April 22 at the garden. Oster said he expects the construction to take a few days.

There will be a grand opening ceremony and celebration Oster said will take place in either May or June. More information about the project and the garden is available at brewerparkcommunity garden.weebly.com

News - After almost 30 years representing downtown residents, Somerset Coun. Diane Holmes announced she is dropping out of the re-election race.

By the time residents head to the polls on Oct. 27, Holmes will have served the ward for three decades.

While she still has her health and energy to burn, Holmes said it’s time for her to start enjoying life more.

“I’ve been here for a long time. I think I need to get a life,” she said.

“I just want to get out and see the world.”Holmes’ April 3 announcement that she would retire at the end of this term of council clears the way for a field of candidates who have already signed up to run for her role.

“I think the rumour was out. Certainly, I’ve been here for a long time,” Holmes said.

There are already five other candidates registered for the Somerset Ward election – Martin Canning, Thomas McVeigh, Jeff Morrison, Denis Schryburt and Lili Weemen.

But Holmes said it was the news that her former assistant, Catherine McK-

enney, planned to run that made the veteran councillor feel comfortable stepping down.

McKenney, who has worked as an aide to deputy city manager Steve Kanellakos for five years, also served as an assistant to former Kanata city and regional councillor, Alex Munter, among other political roles. She has taken an unpaid leave of absence from her job in order to run, but has yet to register as a candidate.

When McKenney approached Holmes about six weeks ago to ask if she was considering leaving city hall, Holmes said she told McKenney she would retire if McKenney ran.

Holmes had already registered as a candidate.

“I wasn’t going to retire, and therefore I signed up, unless there is someone coming along who I thought would reflect the values of the people of Somerset Ward,” Holmes said.

McKenney said she would not have run against Holmes because she shares the same values and goals as her former boss.

“I want to carry on that tradition of strong leadership,” McKenney said.

City to lobby for updated water guidelines Strict application of policy ‘destroying’ rural way of life: residents Laura Mueller

RIGOROUS APPLICATION

Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson, who heads the rural affairs committee, said the water quality in different areas of Ottawa varies and it makes sense for the city to have some control over it to ensure water safety for residents. He worried about legal repercussions if the city granted a severance and the untested water made someone ill.

But Dolan pushed Thompson and the committee to consider what Prince Edward County did. That municipality ditched the guidelines and now requires consent agreements to be registered on the property’s title stating the county is not responsible for water-quality deficiencies.

The D55 issue flared up last year – Security building, Apts recently redecorated, ample kitchen cabinets and closets.

– Close to shopping and medical services.

– Elevator and Laundry on site.

– 1 bedroom $745+utilities – 2 bedroom $835+utilities – Please respectfully no pets / no smoking.

– Free Parking

when the city refused a lot severance for a West Carleton landowner after he spent $17,000 to have a well drilled, tested and certified by an engineer, Dolan said. The water has treatable high sulphur content – an aesthetic, not health, issue. The Ottawa-Carleton Landowners’ Association got involved, but the hope the committee might take action was always slim, Dolan said.

She says the issue is all about control.

Dolan said she believes the city is misapplying the guidelines in a way that wasn’t intended by the Ministry of the Environment. She said she’s confirmed twice with ministry that the water-quality guidelines were never intended to apply to single-lot severances – ministry representatives said the guidelines were meant to be applied to communal wells that serve six or more lots.

Murray Chown, a prominent local development lawyer, agreed the city is too strict in its application of the D55 guidelines.

“The city doesn’t apply that flexibility. The city is much more rigorous in their application of those guidelines,” he said.

Thompson said the city has to

really has no business, according to the province, to regulate the water on private property,” Dolan said.

As long as the city’s Official Plan requires the guidelines to be met before granting the severance of a lot, the city can refuse those severances. The committee asked for an information report on the guidelines but declined to pursue any changes. Instead, the committee will send a letter to the Ministry of the Environment, surrounding municipalities and other officials calling on the province to review and update the D55 procedure.

The rowdy crowd of 200 people – many from West Carleton – met the lack of action with jeers, including “Pass the buck,” “Shame,” and “Liar.”

A growing crowd of around 200 people – many from West Carleton – packed the Osgoode Community C entre on April 4 for a rowdy meeting discussing strict water-quality guidelines that need to be met before lot severances can be granted in Ottawa.

R0012640123/0410

News - More than 150 residents crammed Osgoode’s community centre to decry that a longstanding water-quality policy is destroying the rural way of life.

The issue erupted after the president of the Carleton Landowners’ Association, Shirley Dolan, used the open mic session at a February rural affairs committee meeting to request the city ditch water-testing requirements she says were never meant to be applied to single-lot severances.

If the water-quality guidelines aren’t met, the city can deny the severance of the lot. The guidelines have been used since 2009. The city has only denied three lot severances due to water-quality guidelines since 2004 – 1,673 severances have been approved in that time.

“Restricting severances is going to destroy the right to rural life,” West Carleton resident Adele Muldoon told the city’s agriculture and rural affairs committee on April 4.

“It is the seniors of the rural area that will be hurt most if the city continues to implement the procedures now in place,” she said, because it’s common practice to sever a lot to build a home for aging parents to live in the same vicinity as their children in the community they’ve lived for most of their lives.

The provincial procedure, called D55, identifies the maximum concentration of contaminants in well water – both for health and aesthetic impacts. Those guidelines reflect the federal and World Health Organization’s standards for water quality – but some rural residents say they’re out of date.

The problem, said people who came out to the April 4 meeting of the city’s agriculture and rural affairs committee, is that the guidelines are 18 years old and don’t reflect the invention of technologies that can fix aesthetic problems with water, such as a high sulphur content.

“If the water that is coming out of the tap is clean, is safe, the city

work within the parameters of the province and urged concerned residents to lobby their MPP to support updating the guidelines.

Everyone agreed the D55 guidelines, which were drafted in 1995, are out of date and should be reviewed by the province.

Some of the residents in attendance pointed out the Osgoode Community Centre, where the meeting was held, doesn’t follow the same strict water-quality rules: the washrooms feature signs warning of high sulphur content in the water.

“Yes, there is a bit of an irony,” Thompson said.

Daphne Snell, a Kanata resident whose mother lives in the rural area and might one day choose to sever her property, said the City of Ottawa itself wouldn’t be able to offer clean drinking water to any of its residents if it wasn’t for technologies similar to ones that can be used to fix aesthetic waterquality issues being used to deny lot severances.

This area at the Human Rights Monument in front of city hall on Elgin Street is one step closer to being named in honour of Nelson Mandela.

Committee backs plan for Nelson Mandela square Staff

News - Mayor Jim Watson’s idea to name a yard between city hall and the provincial courthouse after Nelson Mandela got the finance committee’s support on April 1.

Watson revealed the idea during his State of the City speech to city council on Jan. 22.

“It would be a small, but meaningful way to recognize the man who inspired people the world over,” the mayor said at the time.

Forty submissions were sent to the city regarding the proposal, with only three opposed to the new name.

If approved by city council, the area in front of the city hall Heritage Building facing Elgin Street, near the Human Rights Monument, will be renamed after Mandela.

The South African leader. who dedicated his life to ending that country’s apartheid regime, died on Dec. 5, 2013. Mandela was South Africa’s first black chief executive, elected as president from 1994 to 1999 after being sentenced to life imprisonment and serving 18 years at the Robben Island jail for plotting to overthrow the government using violence.

Mandela visited Ottawa in 1998 and unveiled a plaque honouring John Peters Humphrey, the first drafter of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, in front of the Human Rights Monument outside city hall’s heritage building.

He was the first living foreigner to be made an honourary Canadian citizen and the first foreign leader to be made a member of the Order of Canada.

Confused about investing?

Community - It seems that the old adage a penny saved is a penny earned has virtually disappeared like actual pennies. Most of us are finding it harder and harder to save for the future.

We’d sooner invest our time and money in smartphones, tablets and apps than think about dabbling in the stock market. But to be fair, sometimes money management can be pretty confusing with its jargon, acronyms and options.

To help decipher the world of money, we asked Gregory Brown, associate manager with Desjardins Financial Se-

curity Independent Network (www.dfsin.ca/gregorybrown) in Surrey, British Columbia, for his guidance. q and a

Where should we start?

That’s a good question and one I hear all the time: Should I open a TFSA or a RRSP? When do I need a RIF or a LIRA? What stock or bond should I buy? Or am I better off with a GIC? Then the conversation veers toward mutual funds, segregated funds and annuities.

Part of this confusion is caused by conflicting messages that

we receive from ads, TV programs, newspaper headlines and sometimes industry pundits. So let’s get right down to it: there really are only three investment options that beginners should think about: Cash, Fixed Income or Stocks.

• Cash is liquid, which means that you can access it immediately from your bank account. It doesn’t generate much or any return because it’s available on demand.

• Fixed Income: This includes bonds (government or corporate) or guaranteed investment certificates. In exchange for lending your mon-

ey to the government or private institution for a set period of time, they promise to pay you a rate of interest.

• Stocks: When you buy a company stock, you are purchasing a share of the company’s profits. Your rate of return is determined two ways: 1) Stock value increases, or 2) The company will share its profits with you in the form of dividends. There is no guaranteed rate of return for stocks.

So what about RRSP, TFSA, RIF and LIRA? These aren’t investments per se, but investment vehicles that receive a preferential tax treatment, as defined by Revenue Canada.

And what about mutual funds, segregated funds and annuities?

Again, these are not investments but a form of investing.

Each of these investment types allow you to pool your money so that you can economically purchase several investments at once. They’re also available in different formats and offered by different types of financial institutions.

Desjardins Financial Security Independent Network website at www.dfsin.ca.

The important thing, says Brown, is to learn as much as you can about cash, fixed income and stocks before you start invest.

Remember to dream big and make a plan: it’s the best way to reach your goals.

School goes blue for World Autism Awareness Day West Carleton Review

Integration key says autism class teacher

Sti sville News Sti sville News Orléans News Manotick News O awa East News O awa South News O awa West News Nepean-Barrhaven News The Renfrew Mercury

Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Font_PalatinoLinotype_Bold Community - Buildings around the world were lit up blue on April 2, Location_MyriadPro_Bold but at Mary Honeywell Elementary ALL TYPE School it was theOUTLINED students who went blue for World Autism Awareness Day. In fact everyone at the school made an effort to wear something blue, not just to promote greater awareness of autism, but to support the school’s students with autism.

Mary Honeywell includes four of the public school board’s 14 elementary classrooms for children with autism. While awareness at the school itself is strong due to the integration of students in main stream and autistic stream classes, greater awareness in society is an important goal said autistic class teacher Sharon Lyng.

“One in every 110 children has autism,” said Lyng. “It’s really out there and it’s really important to be aware and understand how we can involve them.”

That has been the philosophy at Mary Honeywell, she said.

Autism is a disorder that effects a person’s social and communicative abilities, but to many varying degrees.

While some children with autism speak well, others don’t speak at all, have problems dealing with change, understanding other’s feelings and figuring out social cues.

That means a different emphasis on their education, said Lyng.

“It’s more of a functional curriculum,” she said. While students with autism are taught math, language arts and other academic skills, they are also taught fine and gross motor skills, personal safety, self awareness, hygiene and life skills.

But social skills are some of the most important for students to learn, said Lyng. Luckily, the school has hundreds of specialists on the case.

Just about every student at Mary Honeywell Elementary School poses for a picture in blue clothing, with the school’s students with autism holding a banner they made to celebrate World Autism Awareness Day on April 2.

“Other students are the best teachers because they are the same age, they have the same awareness and understanding and likes and interests,” said Lyng.

To that end, the school’s students with autism are involved in every activity the school puts on along with main stream students, in addition to other programs like a buddy reading program and a culinary program where students from both streams

learn to cook together.

Beyond programming, both streams of students go to recess together, giving them both a chance to learn how to deal with social situations.

“It’s really great to see them socialize and really play together,” said Lyng.

Mary Honeywell’s four classes for students with autism include a teacher and two educational assistants each, and six students per class. But, be-

cause autism affects people in varying degrees, some students with autism are in the main stream program.

While the team of educators in the school’s autistic program do a great job, it’s a team approach on the part of the while school, students included, that has the greatest effect, said Lyng.

Getting to see the effect of that team approach is one of the best parts of her job, she said.

“They come here sometimes and they have no verbal skills, and then to see them talking and making different noises and interacting with the kids, that’s just amazing to see.”

And there is always room for her students to keep growing, she said, whether that be with something like math or making friends.

“There is no cap as to their knowledge. There is always potential for more growth, more learning.”

Sometimes you just have to get your hands dirty Everyone knows the creative process can be rewarding and fulfilling for adults without being messy. But, let’s face it: sometime getting your hands dirty is half the fun. It’s not just for kids anymore. Whether you want your creativity to be mucky and yucky, or clean and pristine, there is bound to be something interesting near you listed in the City of Ottawa’s Recreation eGuide available at ottawa.ca/recreation.

There is probably no better way to make a mess than through pottery. Artists at the Nepean Visual Arts Centre produce more than 50,000 pieces of art each year. This year, some of them can be yours. Think about Sculptural Handbuilding or maybe the Wheel and Handbuilding Combo.

For a splash of colour in your work area there are painting classes of various media offered across the city. Whether you are a beginner or an expert, you can work with oil, acrylic, watercolour or mixed media, or explore abstract expression. Does the class Canvas and Cocktails sound appealing?

Try Ukrainian Egg Painting where you can learn to create beautiful eggs in time for Easter. Garden Journal offers outdoor field study in pencil or watercolour of wildflowers. Found or made objects from plastic can be duplicated in the Simple Silver Casting class.

If you would like to eat your art, there are cooking classes available for young and old alike. If you really want to keep your hands clean while being creative, there are several classes available across the city that involve drawing, sketching, bead jewellery, calligraphy and screen writing. Learning more about your digital camera will be useful for taking those summer holiday photos.

Family’s old Model T finally gives up the ghost

F

inally!” Mother said, as Father backed the old Model T out of the drive shed where it had been sitting up on blocks since the first heavy snowfall.

That meant our trips into Renfrew no longer meant hitching up the horse and cutter, or in some cases, the team and the flat-bottom sleigh every Saturday for our weekly supplies. We were all so excited.

Mother said she saw no reason why we five children couldn’t go in as well, since it was our first trip with the car that year. It didn’t take long for us to get out of our Saturday work clothes and into our next-toSunday-best, wash our faces, comb our hair, and make sure our necks were clean. Why anyone in Renfrew would give a hoot in Hades if the Haneman children had clean necks or not was a mystery to me.

The old car sure wasn’t much to look at, with one back door missing, a fender that was painted an entirely different colour from the rest of the car, and a hole as big as a pie plate in the back floor where I had to sit being the youngest, and from which point all I could see was the Northcote Side Road zooming by.

It was a lovely day for a first drive, Mother commented, as Father turned out of our lane, and passed Briscoe’s General Store. I could hear the purr of the engine, as he worked the lever under the steering wheel increasing the speed. It was a bone shattering ride over the washboard road, and the dust blew into the open car like brown clouds.

My sister Audrey wisely brought a silk scarf, which she tied around her face. The rest of us covered our eyes as best we could.

Father cut the gas back as we headed down Raglan Street, look-

MARY COOK Memories ing for a place to park the Model T. And suddenly, just like the rundown of a windup clock the Model T gave a gasp, and stopped dead in the middle of the street. Father shoved the gas lever up and down, pulled on the choke, and the car with a mind of its own, sat there like a big black lump of clay.

Father got out with the crank, and with the sweat pouring off his face, his arm flying off the crank on occasion, and the Model T, like a rebellious child refused to catch. It wouldn’t have been so bad if Father had been able to steer the car into the curb, but there it sat, right in the middle of Raglan Street.

Audrey offered me a nickel if

I would change places with her.

She wanted on the floor so no one would see her. I said I would consider it for a dime. All she had was a nickel, so I stayed crouched on the floor. Mother was fanning herself with her purse in the front seat, Emerson said he would meet us at Thacker’s Garage when Father got the car going, and Everett and Earl decided they would have a look in the Five and Ten Cent store.

Mother said everyone would stay exactly where they were. “We aren’t going to traipse all over Renfrew when we get the car going and are ready to go home,” she said. “If we get the car going,” Audrey said, from under the silk scarf, which now covered her entire face except for her eyes, reminding me of a picture of someone from a foreign land in a book I brought home from the Renfrew Library.

A crowd had gathered on the sidewalk in front of Scott’s Hardware where the car had broken down. Mother waved to a few of

them just as if it was an everyday occurrence to be stopped dead in the middle of the main street of Renfrew. “Nice day,” she said. The people nodded in return.

Mr. Scott came out of the store, assessed the situation, and deciding the problem was doing nothing for his business, he offered to have the two men on his staff, with the help of Father and my three brothers, start pushing the car towards Thacker’s Garage.

Mother stayed in the front seat, I got off the floor, Audrey shot down like a bullet to take my place, and the car with Father behind the wheel started slowly down Raglan Street to Thacker’s garage.

It didn’t take long for Mr. Thacker to figure out what was wrong, and he circled the car, shaking his head, kicking the tires with the toe of his boot, and telling Father the car wasn’t long for this world.

Whatever Mr. Thacker did, the car was purring like a kitten when we pulled out of the garage, and

Mother said she was sure we could manage without stopping for supplies for one week, and that the best thing we could do was head for Northcote.

You couldn’t hear what Mother was saying to Father in the front seat, but he pulled into Briscoe’s General Store on the way home.

She said once we stopped, since we hadn’t spent any money in Renfrew, she saw no reason why we couldn’t all have an ice cream cone.

Father wasn’t taking any chances. While we five children and Mother traipsed into the store, Father stayed in the car with the motor running just in case the old Model T took another notion to give up the ghost.

Curb appeal puts your home in big demand clean and tidy

ss JJaasson’Landscaping

R0021243567

One of the easiest ways to improve curb appeal is to have a clean and tidy front yard with a manicured lawn. Maybe this is the opportunity to invest in some new tools to help do the job properly. The best part about this type of investment is that not only will your plants and lawn look better with edging, pruning and cutting, you also get to take your new tools with you once you’ve sold your home.

The technology for landscaping tools

has made the purchasing task much easier as well. Now you can get a hedge trimmer, string trimmer or sweeper & vac all in one system.

News- In a market where sellers are in competition to make the most out of their largest investment, improving your home’s first impression is one of the best ways to set it apart from the rest of the pack.

When prospective buyers or renters drive through your neighbourhood, what do they see? This is a really important question that you need to answer because it will help understand what your buyer is going to be looking for in a new home. Once you’ve answered this, ask yourself objectively if the front of your home is in keeping with the rest of the houses on your block. The first impression is critical in setting the mood for prospective agents and buyers.

If your home’s exterior looks like it needs work, then people immediately assume that it’s a ‘fixer-upper’. The opposite is true if your front yard is manicured, the roof is in good shape and the driveway is in good condition. Having a potential buyer walk into your front door in a positive mode can translate into big dollars for you.

Start Your New Life In Your New Home

Both Virginia Tech and the University of Guelph did studies in 2011 that measured the effect of landscaping on property values, and they both came to the same conclusion. To improve curb appeal, basic landscaping increased the home’s value by 5%, but more extensive landscaping including decks and patios increased the homes value up to 15%.

So where do you spend the money?

Set your budget and be realistic about what you’re trying to accomplish with it.

Keep in mind that you are trying to create an excellent first impression to attract potential buyers. This isn’t the opportunity for you to realize your landscaping dreams.

How to stop investment scams in their tracks News - We’ve all heard the saying, “if it looks too good to be true, it probably is”. But when it comes to investments, how do you know what’s too good to be true?

Here are three signs that an

investment might be a scam: • You can make a lot of money with no risk. Investments that are considered low risk typically have returns close to current Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) rates. If your

expected return is higher than this, you’re taking more risk with your money.

• It’s a hot tip or insider information. If the hot tip is false, you will lose your money if you act on it. If the inside

information about a public company is true, acting on it would be illegal. Ask yourself why someone would share this information with you, and how they might stand to benefit.

• You’re pressured to buy

right away.

Scammers know that if you take time to check out the details, you probably won’t fall for their scheme.

• The individual or the company are not registered to sell

investments. Anyone selling securities or offering investment advice must be registered with their provincial securities regulator, unless they have an exemption.

Gray. “That’s why it’s crucial that you take measures to fireproof it.”

Gray recommends the following five tips for ensuring the safety of your family and material possessions: 1. Avoid plugging too many electrical appliances into one outlet. Overloaded outlets can cause house fires.

In fact, in the United States, an estimated 5,300 residential fires annually are caused by overloaded outlets.

2. Sleep with bedroom doors closed. A bedroom window can serve as a fire escape route. As such, keeping the doors closed to sleeping areas to isolate smoke and heat will provide more time to escape.

3. Routinely check electrical appliances for irregularities. Be sure to replace or repair any malfunctioning appliances. Whether gas or electric, appliances need a careful watch.

4. Use a chimney sweep service at least once per year. In doing so, you remove soot, blockages and any accumulating creosote, thereby reducing the potential for a chimney fire. Creosote is a highly flammable substance that builds up inside your chimney over time.

Emergency preparations should begin at home likely to occur in your region.

• Make a plan. Every household needs an emergency plan. You and your family may not be together when an emergency occurs. A plan will help you know what to do, where to meet and how to get in touch if disaster strikes.

• Get an emergency kit. During an emergency, you may need to get by without power or running water.

We will all need some basic supplies, such as non-perishable food, a flashlight, batteries, and a radio.

News - Disasters have forced millions of Canadians from their homes in recent years and caused billions of dollars in damage, to say nothing of suffering and hardship endured.

Preparing for an emergency is important and something the whole family can do. It can be as simple as making your own emergency kit, creating a family emergency plan, or becoming more informed.

Across Canada, May 5-11 is Emergency Preparedness Week this year.

It’s the perfect time to take a few simple steps to get better prepared for any kind of emergency.

Here are some tips to get started: • Know the risks in your area. Although the consequences of disasters can be similar, knowing the risks in your region (such as floods, tornadoes, earthquakes) can help you better prepare.

An Easter Adventure at City of Ottawa Museums

Connected to your community

With Easter just over a week away, it’s time to shake off the chill of winter, welcome spring and enjoy the renewal that this time of year brings. It’s also time for the City of Ottawa museums to invite you back for a new season and the opportunity to spend time together as a family.

Join us on April 19 to celebrate the traditions of spring as the Easter Bunny comes out of hiding at most of the City’s museums to spend time with the children and join them in the hunt for Easter eggs. There will also be petting zoos and gardening activities to help teach young visitors about agriculture’s place in Ottawa’s history.

They will also learn about natural materials used to dye Easter eggs long before prepackaged kits became mainstream.

Depending on which museum and event you choose to attend, you may also find yourself helping to make sock bunnies, learning local historical trivia from giant carrots, and taking a turn with a balloon artist specializing in bunnies and baby chicks. At one museum, you’ll even discover new information about pop culture’s most famous bunnies – like Bugs Bunny, Peter Rabbit, Alice in Wonderland’s White Rabbit, and even the Duracell and Energizer bunnies.

Make sure to visit ottawa.ca/museums or our Facebook pages to find out about the activities offered at each museum or historic site. All of the museums will hold similar activities; however, there are unique aspects to each particular site. Choose the event and location that best suits your family’s interests.

The museum Easter Adventure will be held on Saturday, April 19 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m at the locations listed below. Admission costs vary from $6 to $7 per person, and $16 to $18 per family.

Celebrating Volunteers

Volunteers are an integral part of the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa’s (CASO) work, generously donating approximately 30,000 hours of their time each year. Volunteer tasks are varied and flexible, matching interests and skills with volunteer positions and working with people’s busy schedules.

While some of CASO’s volunteer opportunities require a moderate time commitment, Special Assignments allow for more flexibility and can include: organizing, event management, providing entertainment, or acting as photographers at events.

Volunteer Drivers support children and youth in care by providing a safe non-judgmental space where they can comfortably sit in silence or speak with an attentive listener. Child Access Volunteers similarly help to provide a safe space by supervising visits between parents and children.

Pre-School Volunteers and Tutor/ Mentors provide more formalized guidance. Pre-School Volunteers assist professional staff, guiding children from three months to five years through a variety of weekly programs. Tutors/ Mentors, under the supervision of the case worker, help school-aged children with subjects like math, english and science, encouraging students to develop their interests and build educational goals.

Volunteering with CASO is a learning opportunity for the volunteers themselves as they undergo training, work collaboratively with fellow volunteers and staff and develop relationships with foster parents and the families we serve.

April 6-12, 2014 is National Volunteer Week, an opportunity for us to take stock of the time that volunteers across the country donate daily. We would like to take this opportunity to formally thank our volunteers for their tireless work. Their contribution to supporting children and youth in care, and the Ottawa community more broadly, makes a difference every day and every hour.

Ottawa organization wins CHEO award Programming for youth with special needs offers one-on-one Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - A youth program that has run in Orléans for more than 20 years was recently recognized by CHEO for helping children with special needs.

The Gloucester Association for Children with Special Needs accepted the CHEO Healthy Kids Award in the category for helping special needs on March 26.

The awards were presented by CHEO staff, the prime minister’s wife, Laureen Harper, and Mayor Jim Watson.

Youth, ages 7 to 25, attend the programming, which is held each Saturday at the Bob McQuarrie Recreation Complex.

“We`re a unique program,” said association president Jamie Larkin.

R0012639163

news

“We’re probably one of the only cityfunded programs that provide one-onone (staff to participant ratios).”

The program functions with six staff and 20 volunteers. The participants go swimming, play games, and participate in crafts, activities and outings.

Larkin said that while parents benefit from the relief on the weekends for time to complete groceries or other errands, the benefit is really for the program participants.

“It’s great for the kids because it provides social interaction between other children and youth,” he said.

“It’s also very beneficial for the volunteers. They learn a lot about values and ethics and how to work with kids with special needs.”

He said most of the volunteers are high school students and the program

participants look up to them.

The program runs for three hours, and costs $600 for 10 months, September through June. The $600 doesn’t cover the full cost of the program, crafts and outings, so the money awarded by CHEO will go into a general fund.

“We’re always at a shortfall, so that $500 will be well used,” he said.

Larkin said there are currently 20 youth in the program, and there is capacity for 24.

And while the main program is based out of Orléans, the group has also begun to run a sister program called Around the Campfire, in Kanata and Hintonburg. They offer music programs, run by the same board as the GACSN, in partnership with the city.

For more information on the assocation, visit www.gacsn.org.

Charges laid for 2012 retail robbery News - Ottawa police have charged a 21-year-old man in connection with a 2012 retail robbery on Merivale Road On May 8, 2012, at about 10:05 p.m., two male suspects with concealed faces, entered a fast food restaurant in the 1500 block of Merivale.

At least one of the suspects was carrying a knife.

The suspects proceeded behind the counter, obtained a quantity of cash and the tip jar, and fled the premises.

There were no injuries.

A piece of evidence was recovered nearby and was submitted to the Centre of Forensic Sciences. In January 2014, information was reported to the Ottawa police that a suspect had been identified through the national DNA database.

On April 1, a 21-year-old Ottawa man was charged with two counts of robbery, wearing a disguise, and conspiracy.

Anyone with information with respect to this robbery, or any other robbery, is asked to contact the Ottawa police robbery unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5116 or Crime Stoppers at 613233-8477 (TIPS).

RRSP basics to maximize savings ing that money in retirement.

Here are some RRSP basic facts: • The contribution deadline is March 1, 2013 – don’t miss it.

• Do your best to make your maximum contribution each year – you’ll

get the most in immediate tax savings and in long-term growth.

• Fill up unused contribution room as fast as you can. You can do that in a single year or over a number of years until you reach age 71 – but quicker is

RRSP (in Québec, this must be done through a will). If your beneficiary is your spouse/partner or an infirm child/ grandchild, your RRSP can be transferred tax-deferred to your beneficiary’s registered plan.

More information on this topic is available from the Investors Group, or contact a financial advisor to get specific advice about your circumstances.

Community garden continues to sprout new members Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland

News - Overbrook’s community garden membership is about to grow.

The garden, which first saw soil tossed last spring, plans to add another eight garden boxes this year.

To help encourage more people to volunteers and general interest in the garden, the group held an information session on April 3. Both returning and new gardeners attended to learn about this year’s plans as well as to lay claim to a garden box this year.

Community association president Sheila Perry helps run the garden and welcomed the new members with news that the garden committee recently received a grant of $4,000 that would be funding the additional boxes at the site beside the Overbrook Community Centre.

“This garden brings many people together in many ways,” Perry said. “This additional

grant is great news for us.”

The community association created partnerships with a number of individuals, organizations and local businesses to get the garden going last year.

The garden currently has 24 wooden boxes, with two of the wooden boxes are dedicated to the Rideau Rockcliffe Food Bank and five others are devoted to youth and families, including Queen Mary Street and Queen Elizabeth public schools.

Rideau High School built all the wooden boxes and carved the numbers and plaques decorating the bins.

To generate more interactions with members of the community, Perry wants to start up a social committee for the garden. This committee she said will help plan and run barbecue events and parties at the garden throughout the summer.

Medhi Louzouaz, who represented the Overbrook Community Resource Centre at the meeting, said he felt last year the garden was truly more than just growing vegetables. He would like to see the social aspects of the garden continue to sprout.

Residents who attended the

meeting came for many reasons, but the most popular motivation, according to some of those in attendance, was a loss of light in their backyards due to new infill homes being built in the neighbourhood.

A teacher from Queen Mary Public School, Jenn Harris, attended the meeting on behalf of the school. Harris said the garden has been a great opportunity for the students to learn the importance of eating and growing local produce.

Last year there was a waiting list and membership coordinator Corrie Rabbe advised any prospective gardeners to fill out the membership forms soonerrather than later.

It costs $25 to become a member, and members must volunteer at least 10 hours during the planting season.

Tools are provided for those who do not have any, and the committee has hosted gardening workshops in the past to help new members learn the ropes.

Aside from adding the extra plots this year, looking ahead, Perry said the garden would like to continue to expand, including creating more gardens in other areas in the community

as well as applying for funding for a children’s garden site in the future.

For more information about the garden contact Perry at president@overbrook.ca.

Membership co-ordinator Corrie Rabbe hands out forms for eager Overbrook gardeners at a meeting on April 3.

CAT OF THE WEEK I AM “ ERIN “

Me and my sister VICTORIA were abandoned in Arnprior last fall; luckily we were found and rescued. For young ladies of 3 years old we have seen sad days. Now I am putting myself out there looking for a home where I will be truly loved for ever, cherished and cared for. I am a sociable girl, affectionate and a beautiful calico girl... How about it... make an appointment and come to meet me... what can you loose... we might win each others heart.

For adopting this or any other cat contact GWEN at 613-258-2622. Check out the Website www.countrycatrescue.com for available cats and more info. Looking for volunteers and foster families to help out with cat care. We are a registered charity.

Aries, you may need to come up with some new ways to show your affection, as your old ways are starting to fall short. Look to Leo for inspiration.

Taurus, a few kinks still need to be worked out, but your master plan will soon be in place. Start putting the wheels in motion and your work won’t go unrecognized.

Gemini, you are great at creating a good time out of nothing at all.

Get together with a few friends and let the good times roll. Others may envy this talent.

You have a rare opportunity to show off your skills this week, Cancer. When your talents are on display, don’t worry about hogging that spotlight. Enjoy your time in the limelight.

Take some time for quiet inspiration, Leo. It is just what you need after a busy week in which your stamina was put to the test. Rest and recharge for a few days.

Tasks at work have certainly tried your patience, Virgo. Just when you are settled in, you get pulled in another direction very quickly.

Save up those vacation days.

It’s time to lighten up, Libra. Throw a party, take a trip or hang out with friends. Just be sure to focus on fun and let other concerns fall by the wayside for a little while.

Scorpio, do your best to get all of your ducks in a row this week.

Keep distractions at bay and don’t allow social engagements to take precedence over more pressing matters.

Sagittarius, you will have to remain two steps ahead of everyone else to get a project done this week. Things are moving quite quickly now, so make every minute count.

A challenge is on the horizon, Capricorn. But remain calm and you will handle every challenge that comes your way. Aries provides some extra help.

Aquarius, some may call you stubborn, but “dedicated” might be a more appropriate term. Once your mind is set, it is hard to pull you off course, and this week is no different.

You have plenty of energy to carry you through to the weekend, Pisces. A big surprise is in store in the coming days.
