Kayla Mavretic crossed another item off her bucket list this month.

The 27-year-old Kanata woman was treated to VIP treatment and attended a number of Juno weekend events, including a meet-andgreet with big-name Canadian artists at the Rideau Centre on April 1 and the awards ceremony at the Canadian Tire Centre on April 2.

“It was amazing; it was so much fun,” she said. “My favourite moment would have been probably shaking hands with Coleman Hell.”

Originally from Sarnia, Ont., Mavretic was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at age five.

She underwent a double lung transplant three years ago and a liver transplant

Metroland reporters recognized with awards Staff

Four Ottawa community news reporters have been recognized at the provincial level.

Metroland Media East reporters, based in Ottawa, had a strong showing at the annual Ontario Community Newspaper Association’s Better Newspapers Competition Awards gala in Toronto on April 7. The event celebrates the talent at community newspapers across Ontario and Nunavut.

“I am so proud of these four talented journalists,” said Metroland Media East managing editor Theresa Fritz. “They consistently produce at a high level and to be recognized at the provincial level by their peers reinforces how committed they are to telling the stories that matter.

“They are connected to their communities on every level and this translates into award-winning coverage.”

Kanata Kourier-Standard reporter Jessica Cunha earned first place in the best news category for papers with a circulation under 9,999 for a story for the West Carleton Review that revealed the shortage of Ottawa paramedics and the impact to service on rural areas.

Her story prompted coverage by several other media outlets, and the city eventually added 12 new paramedic hires to its roster.

Cunha “gave an impressive, multifaceted accounting of the potentially dangerous scenario around emergency responder service in the neighbourhoods west of Ottawa,” said judge Don Descoteau, editor of the

4 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, April 13, 2017

Goldstream News Gazette, a Black Press community newspaper near Victoria, B.C. “It clearly had an impact.”

Orléans News reporter Brier Dodge was recognized with second place in the investigative news category for her special report on the lengthy court delays faced by the family of Michael Wassill, who was killed in 2013.

The first-degree murder case is now being heard in court, and being reported on by Dodge.

“Reporter Brier Dodge deserves kudos for pulling together multiple sources to underscore just how poorly this family has been served by the system,” said Joe Banks, Algonquin College’s journalism program co-ordinator, who judged this category.

Ottawa West News reporter Melissa Murray earned third

place in the education writing category for her story that delved into a precedent-setting legal case in which a bullied teen took the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board to court and won.

“A well-researched story, backed up with important details,” said judge Jessica Peters, a reporter with Black Press’ Chilliwack Progress in B.C. “Melissa Murray reminds us exactly why bullying has become a regular part of school programming.”

Ottawa South News reporter Erin McCracken earned second place in the sport and recreation category for her story about the community impact of the opening of a cricket pitch at Featherston Drive Public School, the first within the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board.

“Erin McCracken gives us an in-depth story of a sport not often read about in Canada,” said Chris Foulds, editor of Kamloops This Week, who judged the entries in this category.

“Love the numerous sources and especially the kids’ viewpoint. Good pics, too!”

McCracken also earned third place in arts and enter-

Metroland Media

Ottawa Metroland Media East reporters (from left) Erin McCracken, Jessica Cunha, Melissa Murray and Brier Dodge, earned several awards at the Ontario Community Newspaper Association’s Better Newspapers Competition Awards gala in Toronto on April 7. tainment reporting for her work about the Canada Aviation and Space Museum’s launch of its Star Trek exhibit and the gala opening with former Star Trek star William Shatner.

“At first blush it appears to be a story about a visiting actor (albeit some would argue one of Canada’s favourites, William Shatner),” said judge Christine van Reeuwyk, a multimedia journalist with Black Press’ Oak Bay News, situated near Victoria, B.C. “But the story …

features people from the main event, sharing what it actually means to the community.”

McCracken also received two honourable mentions, one in the heritage category for a Remembrance Day feature about a husband and wife, two Second World War veterans who now live in Riverview Park, as well as in the business and finance category for a story detailing the community impact of the closure of Riverside Park’s only bank branch.

City could reduce speeds on narrow, urban roads

BY Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Drivers could be asked to slow down on select narrow, urban roads.

The city’s transportation committee approved a policy that could bring the posted speed limit from 40 kilometres per hour to 30 km/h on streets that meet certain criteria.

Council still has final approval on the policy.

During the staff presentation to the committee, Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper asked staff if people abide by a 30 km/h limit. The answer was that few people do, which is why only streets that are narrow, have on-street parking, or are in the vicinity of an elementary or junior high school would be eligible for the change.

“The goal is to implement 30 kilometres on roads where we can get that operating speed,” Krista Tanaka, the city’s program manager for road safety and traffic investigations, said during her presentation. “Changing a 50 km/h road to 30 kilometres likely won’t happen.”

Roadways with an existing speed limit of more than 35 km/h would have meet all five criteria of the new policy before being changed.

• Be a local road and/or have a strong pedestrian level; • Have a transit service of no more than three trips per hour per direction; • Have a combined travel lane width of no more than

Real Estate Business Law Wills & Estates Criminal Law

seven metres; • Have a maximum speed of 50 km/h; and, • Have traffic volumes of less than 2,500 vehicles per day.

Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri expressed concern that new speed limits could slow down bus routes; but Pat Scrimgeour, manager of transit planning for OC Transpo, said streets with more than three transit trips per hour wouldn’t be eligible under the plan.

“It should have little impact, and would likely add at the most one minute,” he said.

Leiper said some people will follow the new posted limit.

The city is considering speed limits as low as 30 kilometres per hour on some streets.

Metroland file photo

“It’s one more tool in our quiver,” he said.

Committee chair Keith Egli asked how the new 30 kilometre posting criteria would pan out in suburbs.

“This isn’t just for Kitchissippi and Somerset,” he said.

“I’d like to see some benefits for areas like Nepean and Kanata as well.”

Streets in the suburbs, for 566 Cataraqui Woods Dr, Kingston ON K7P 2Y5 the most part, would be too wide under the criteria; but traffic-calming measures could $15 SHUTTLE TO LAC LEAMY $10 SHUTTLE TO RIDEAU be put in place to narrow the TUESDAY’S & SATURDAY’S MON, WED & FRI roadways, Tanaka said.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Why we are proud A s Canada marked the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge this week, it’s a good time to reflect on the connections we still have today to the men who gave their lives in Europe so long ago.

Despite the passing of time, there are Canadians with us today who remember the people who survived Vimy. Long lost family members.

But even when our living connections to 1917 are gone, we should remember all of them and why they served.

Canada – and so many Canadians – felt compelled to stand up to aggression. While the best policy is clearly to make every effort to avoid war, humans have yet to perfect that policy.

Aggression, especially when the weak are attacked, makes our blood boil.

Even when evil acts occur half a world away, Canadians have been willing to put their lives on the line, both on battlefields such as Vimy, and in peacekeeping opera-

tions.

We should be proud to be the product of a society that uses force as a last resort. We should be proud that we have no imperial ambitions. We don’t try to force anyone to act like us or be like us; Canada simply sets an example and hopes others will follow.

This principle has cost the lives of many Canadians. Yet, still the world sees inhumanity.

It’s ironic – and despicable – that as we mark the anniversary of First World War battles, where poison gas was not uncommon, we see the same weapon of mass destruction used on the Syrian people.

In honour of those who have died in all wars, Canada can continue to set the best example – the one set back in April 1917.

Help those who need help. Use force only in defence of them, and the defence of ourselves. Just as the Canadians at Vimy hoped to do.

Come November, poppies will feel a little more personal this year.

Paving the way for a walkable city

I

f you follow the planning discussions in the newspapers, you’ll conclude that Ottawa knows what sort of a city it wants to be.

It just doesn’t know how to get there.

What kind of city is that? Well, it is pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly. It is well-served by public transit, with new condos and apartments concentrated around transitway stations.

Most planning discussions can be seen to serve that goal, and that is a good thing. It is nice to have a vision of a livable city down the road.

If only we were not so half-hearted about it.

Anyone who spends any time in large cities knows they are more enjoyable on foot. Outside your car, Toronto is a safe and pleasant mix of interesting stores and restaurants.

Inside your car, it is a traffic jam. We

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town don’t want that here.

Unfortunately, when we speak of Ottawa’s livable city being down the road, we mean it literally. In the future we will still be too dependent on getting down the road, too dependent on our automobiles.

You need only look at developments in the retail industry to confirm that. Two smallish shopping centres, Westgate and Lincoln Fields, are scheduled for redevelopment.

The fear is that they will be lost as shopping centres and that will drive

shoppers to the larger, more distant centres.

While there is considerable affection for traditional low-rise retail neighbourhoods like the Glebe and Westboro, the shopping centre is, for most people in the city, central to their way of life. The smaller ones, with their pharmacies and supermarkets, become neighbourhood hubs where people can do their shopping on foot.

This is obviously good for them: they get exercise and get to avoid the hassle of driving. It is also good for the neighbourhood and the environment. The fewer cars on the streets the better.

Losing Lincoln Fields or Westgate would not have the same impact, in a retail sense, as losing Bayshore or St. Laurent, but the smaller malls

have a larger impact on the lives of the people who live near them. Some towers are proposed for the Westgate site. The developer is asking residents for input on Lincoln Fields. Whatever goes up there, residents want a grocery store and other essential services.

That seems reasonable, yet the city hasn’t been good at meeting such expectations in the past. Despite the stated intention to become pedestrian-friendly and less car dependent, the city has seen (and allowed) a huge growth in big box malls and grocery superstores. While the city government has taken some rather small steps to help mom-and-pop stores stay in existence, smaller retailers have suffered. Neighbourhood grocery stores and even some neighbourhood supermarkets have been disappearing.

Simultaneously, new suburban communities have been allowed to develop with no downtowns. All of this has increased rather than diminished our dependence on cars. editoriAl: MAnAging editor: Theresa Fritz, 613-221-6225 theresa.fritz@metroland.com news editor: Nevil Hunt, nevil.hunt@metroland.com, 613-221-6235 reporter/pHotogrApHer: Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com - 613-221-6239 politicAl reporter: Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com, 613-221-6220 tHe deAdline for displAy Advertising is MondAy 5pM

This doesn’t sound like what the city has in mind. So do our city council and city planners really want what they say they want? If they do, they will find a way to reverse the trend and create a walkable city. We’ll see how serious our civic leaders are by what they do for the people around Westgate and Lincoln Fields.

Homeless numbers continue rise Brynna leslie Capital Muse

A

ccording to data compiled by Environics, Statistics Canada, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation and others, Ottawa is the best city in Canada in which to live.

In 2016, based on that data, MoneySense magazine ranked 219 cities across the country, placing Ottawa at the top of its quality-of-life index, notably for our relatively low taxes, low crime, high incomes and good weather. (The last one is very much open to debate).

As we bask in the glory of living in a city that generally offers an excellent quality of life, not just by Canadian standards, but by world standards, it’s easy to forget or ignore the homeless in our midst.

On April 11, the Alliance to End Homelessness Ottawa released its 2016 progress report on ending homelessness in this city. The organization has a 10-year target to eradicate

chronic homelessness by 2024.

This year’s progress report sites some very positive findings – men are staying in shelters for shorter periods of time and new affordable housing units have been created in the city in the past 12 months, offering more options for low-income individuals and families.

But there is a lot to be concerned about as a community and as a society when it comes to homelessness.

Overall, Ottawa has seen a rise in the number of people using emergency shelters for the second year in a row. Last year, 7,710 individuals used emergency shelters – up from 6,815 in 2015 – an increase of over five per cent. Shelters are frequently filled to capacity, with more than half-a-million overnight stays in Ottawa shelters funded last year.

“No doubt there has been some progress due to very specific focus and priority around chronic homelessness among men” says Mike Bulthuis, alliance executive director. “This is the result of some very focused

investments. But we’re four years into our plan and some of us thought we would have seen more progress by now.”

One markedly disturbing trend in the 2016 statistics shows that a growing number of older women are relying on shelters. Shelters saw a one-infive increase in the number of women over 50 and a 31.2-percent increase in women over 60 relying on shelters. Moreover, the length of stay among older women has also spiked. The average stay for a woman over 50 is now nearly three months, or 84 days.

“It is clear that more needs to be done to address the housing precarity of our aging population, and to address the needs of older women, specifically,” note the authors of the alliance’s report.

More children are also among the homeless in this city. With income and cost-ofliving fluctuations, 879 Ottawa families were forced to seek emergency housing last year.

The city’s two family shelters are full to capacity every night

of the week, pushing these families into emergency motel housing at a cost of $40,000 per night, or more than $1 million each month.

“We have seen a 24-per-cent increase in family homelessness in two years,” says Bulthuis. “A big takeaway for me from this report is the need to focus on prevention. Many families that are in these shelters had homes, but have been unable to keep their home environments for reasons of affordability.”

A few things have contributed to this precariousness, notably the dismantling two years ago of Ottawa’s Housing Loss Prevention Network, which saw social workers in community health centres across the city offering resources and support to families at risk of losing

their homes.

“Providing families housing or keeping them in their existing homes is far more cost effective than the cost of those emergency overflow spaces,” says Balthuis. “But without addressing income and affordability, these numbers will continue to rise.”

The report highlights a dichotomy in youth homelessness statistics. Overall fewer youth are accessing shelters in Ottawa. At the same time, the average length of stay per visit among youth has increased.

“We fear that these longer stays and full shelters mean many young people are not able to access emergency shelters when they need them, leading them to couch surf,” says Balthuis.

This puts youth at greater risk of being disconnected from community resources that may help them find more stability.

There are some bright lights for the future of affordable housing. Ontario is expected to announce a basic income pilot project in the coming weeks.

The federal budget in March also committed $11 billion over 11 years toward a national housing strategy. But will it be enough?

Rents and housing costs continue to rise, at the same time wages remain stagnant.

Can we really claim to be the best city in Canada when homeless numbers are on the rise? “These are our neighbours,” says Balthuis. “Our community can only do well when we’re all doing well.”

Hydro not taking advantage of Ontario’s water power To the editor,

There’s a lot about hydroelectric power that Kathleen Wynne’s government doesn’t want you to know.

The Liberals always insist that Ontario is tapped out when it comes to hydroelectric power. They insist that it’s impossible to get any more power out of our lakes and rivers, and that it would be useless to try.

These lies are used to justify signing bloated contracts with Liberal cronies in the so-called green energy industry.

I think the Liberals would benefit from a dose of reality here.

Water power has been a reliable way to generate electricity for almost two hundred years.

Hydroelectricity is clean, cheap, and environmentally sound. There is no good reason to think this won’t be true in the future.

But unfortunately, Ontario does not fully use its hydro-

electric potential. We are now operating significantly fewer hydroelectric installations than we did in the mid-twentieth century.

In 1951 we had 575 hydro facilities. Now we’re down to 215. But hardly any of those facilities are operating at full capacity.

For example, the Adam Beck tunnels at Niagara Falls were expanded recently, but they are only operating at about 20% of their capacity.

Similarly, throughout Ontario, in 2016 about 3,000 gigawatt hours (GWh) of power was spilled, rather than used to generate electricity. Existing facilities could be upgraded to avoid such waste in the future.

New projects and upgrades at New Post Creek and Elora prove that there is still more potential to be extracted from water power.

Upgrading the facility at Elora is expected to produce 3,800 megawatt hours of power annually. And, when

finished, the New Post Creek project along the Abitibi River will generate enough annual power for 25,000 homes.

These facts make you wonder how many defunct generating stations across Ontario could be revived and brought back online. In 1905 the old Alfred Watts Lock and Hydro Generating Station in Brantford generated about 895 kilowatt hours (KWh) annually.

That station isn’t used any more, but it only exploited about 1/50th of the power of the Grand River.

Updating old or under-used generating stations would be a good idea to increase capacity.

It would also be a great way to boost local economies and create jobs.

We might not be able to get all our power from hydroelectricity, but there is much, much more untapped potential.

One organ donor can save eight people Continued from page 1

One organ donor can save up to eight people, while tissue donors can help up to 75 more.

“If it wasn’t for my dad I would have died waiting for a liver. I was so sick,” she said.

“They told me I can’t have another transplant ... But I’m going to try and live every day celebrating what my organ donors gave me.”

Kayla Mavretic

When her lungs started to fail in her 20s, she was again put on the transplant list and received her new lungs three years ago thanks to another donor.

In Ontario, there are more than

1,500 people waiting for a transplant, according to the Trillium Gift of Life Network, the government agency responsible for organ and tissue donations.

Every three days, someone on the waiting list dies.

“People are still waiting a long, long time and people are passing away and it shouldn’t be like that,” she said. “I wouldn’t be alive if it wasn’t for mine.”

Mavretic has been diagnosed with chronic rejection as the scar tissue on her lungs close and make it harder to breath, she said. Doctors have said she is not a candidate for another transplant and she’s on palliative care in her Kanata home.

“They told me I can’t have another transplant,” she said. “But I'm going to try and live every day celebrating what my organ donors gave me.”

Mavretic compiled a bucket list of items she’d like to accomplish,

Mayor’s Report

New affordable equiPass Now available for low-iNcome resideNts By: Mayor Jim Watson This past October, I was joined by the Chair of the Transit Commission, Councillor Steven Blais, to announce the inclusion of a low-income transit pass in the 2017 City of Ottawa Budget.

Just a short month later, City Council approved our plan for the low-income transit pass in the 2017 Budget. This was the largest one-time increase in financial support for transit customers in the City’s history. The pass is valid for travel on all OC Transpo services, including Para Transpo and the O-Train Trillium Line, as well as STO services.

The new affordable transit pass, called the EquiPass, is now available to City of Ottawa residents whose household income falls below the low-income cut-off threshold, as set out annually by the Government of Canada. Once approved, eligible customers will be able to purchase the discounted pass for use as of April 1, 2017. It is priced at $57 per month, providing a 50 per cent discount on a monthly adult transit pass.

A single adult using the EquiPass will save $56.75 each month, or $681 each year, whereas a family of two will save $112 each month, for an annual savings of $1,344.

The new EquiPass will make life in Ottawa more affordable and inclusive for residents seeking employment, many single parents, newcomers to Canada settling in Ottawa, and residents living on low-income wages. The money they will save on transit will leave more funds available for other basic necessities, and allow them to participate more fully in our city’s job market and socio-economic life.

The launch of the EquiPass application would not have been possible without the support and dedicated efforts of numerous community partner organizations, like OC Transpo and Community and Social Services, who are also available to provide assistance to those who need help filling the application form out.

Eligible residents can get the EquiPass in three easy steps: Apply Residents must obtain, fill out and submit their application forms. These are available online at octranspo.com, by mail (call 613-741-4390 (TTY 613-741-5280) to request a copy) or in person at various locations across Ottawa including: OC Transpo Customer Service Centres, City of Ottawa Client Service Centres, City of Ottawa Public Libraries, City of Ottawa Community and Social Support Centres and Community Health and Resource Centres.

People encouraged to sign up as organ donors online Continued from page 13

Universal Music Canada’s Tony Szambor and Allan Reid, president and CEO of the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, made it possible for Mavretic and her friend Chloe Garant to attend the Juno events.

“All of them have done this for me,” she said. “I want to send a huge thank you to them for doing everything to make me happy and make my life a little easier.”

Next on Mavretic’s to-do list is horseback riding, something she’s never done before.

“Now because I'm stable I’d like to try and knock some things off my list before anything happens, before I get way too sick,” she said.

“I love horses. I just want to have a nice day and pet the horses and brush them and be able to ride on them. To enjoy that experience has always, always been my dream and I've never done it.”

Having a list of experiences to accomplish helps her focus on things other than her illness. She’s attended

“There's times where I need that, where I need that fun,” she said. “I have a very, very supportive group of friends and family. The messages I get – anything, any words – they make it (easier).”

She hopes her story will compel people to sign up as organ donors to help others who are in need.

“Everybody has to have that conversation on organ donation,” said Mavretic. “People need to spread the word about it to save lives.”

To sign up as an organ donor, visit beadonor.ca.

Applicants will receive a letter advising them of the status of their application within three weeks.

Set your discount Customers can bring their approval letter to any OC Transpo Customer Service Centre.

A Customer Service Representative will set the EquiPass discount on a registered Presto card. Those who don’t already have a Presto card can purchase one for $6.

Buy Approved customers can purchase their monthly EquiPass online at prestocard.ca, by phone at 1-877-378-6123 (TTY 7-1-1), in person at an OC Transpo Customer Service Centre, or at select City of Ottawa Client Service Centres.

With the implementation of the EquiPass, we give a chance to those who are living with a low income to full integrate themselves into the fabric of the City, and we create an even more affordable City for all Ottawa residents.

Residents can now submit their applications for the new affordable EquiPass

TRUSTEE

Sebastian is the founder and president of the All Saints

DECA chapter. He’s also the Ottawa Catholic School Board’s student trustee.

Sebastian has been competing for the past two years after founding the All Saints DECA chapter in 2016 with the support of Tom Kennedy, his business teacher and mentor. Sebastian credits much of his success to Kennedy.

“There’s always that one teacher in high school who pushes you, is your role model and facilitates everything for you,” said Sebastian. “Mr. Kennedy is definitely that person for me.

“He essentially introduced me to business. He didn’t have to do any of this, it wasn’t part of his job, but he took on the responsibility and I’m definitely grateful for that.”

Teen grew up around health science Sebastian says he comes from a family of science.

With a mother who was a dentist and a father who was a doctor, Sebastian was sure he would end up as an engineer.

But life threw him a curveball when he took a Grade 11 accounting class, while in the 10th grade, and discovered his true calling in the business world.

“Taking that class changed everything for me, and I wanted a chance to explore that in a way that was a little more stimulating than the classroom,” said Sebastian.

“I learned about DECA through browsing the Internet, looking for an opportunity like that, and I instantly knew that was what I wanted to do.”

Sebastian’s mother, Adriana Cabrera, does not seem at all fazed by her son’s decision to abandon his dreams of becoming an engineer.

She says she is incredibly

proud of Sebastian and she is confident that he has a bright future ahead of him.

“I really believe that this award is the first of many others that he is going to achieve in his professional career,” said Cabrera.

“Sebastian has a fam-

“It’s all about preparation,” Sebastian said. “It’s all about making sure that I know my stuff even better and that I can explain it to anyone and have the same response I had at provincials.”

Kanata Blazers ‘have hearts of gold’ Hockey team vying for $20,000 Good Deeds Cup for Jonathan Pitre

Vimy Ridge at 100 One hundred years ago this April, Canada triumphed in the First World War at Vimy Ridge in 1917.

This was the first major allied victory which turned the tide of the war.

The world has changed so much since the early twentieth century, but Canadian determination to fight for what is right remains the same.

Freedom isn’t free. On this important anniversary, we will remember those who fought for the freedoms that we all enjoy today. We will remember those who sacrificed their lives.

We will remember the wounded who carry the scars of battle. We will remember their families. We must always remember their bravery and honour their memory.

A Kanata hockey team is hoping to garner as many daily votes as possible to win $20,000 for Jonathan Pitre.

The major peewee AA Kanata Blazers team is one of 12 finalists in the Chevrolet Good Deeds Cup, a national contest with teams competing to win the grand prize for a charity of their choice. If the Blazers win, the team will donate the $20,000 cash prize to Jonathan, known locally as the “butterfly child,” and DEBRA Canada.

it shouldn’t take too long to vote. I think everybody should vote and it will all go to Jona-

than and it will help him a lot.”

Jonathan, 16, has a rare and painful disease called epidermolysis bullosa, which causes the skin to peel and blister. He and his mother Tina Boileau are currently in Minnesota waiting to undergo a second stem cell transplant.

“Acts of kindness coming from our youth is meant to be mentioned and definitely meant to be supported and encouraged,” said Boileau in a phone interview.

Blazers in need of votes to win Good Deeds Cup Continued from page 18

That the Blazers chose Jonathan and DEBRA Canada – an organization that provides assistance to families whose children have EB – means a lot.

“They have hearts of gold,” she said

of the team. “They did really well on the ice but that just proves that there's more to them than just what's on the ice.”

Jonathan was admitted to hospital on March 31 for the lead up the transplant, which was scheduled for April

13, said Boileau.

“Jonathan is mentally really strong and physically he’s doing as well as can be expected,” she said.

If the team wins the big prize, the funds would allow DEBRA to provide more assistance to more families.

Look at retirement living differently!

“This would be just unbelievable, definitely going to a place where people need some help,” said Boileau, who is also president of the non-profit organization. “EB is hard enough to live with on a daily basis that having to deal with all the financial aspects of it all – it’s actually quite nice when we can help,” she said.

NEVER QUIT

YEARS

Forbes and his teammates made a video to explain why they chose to support Jonathan and his family.

“He never quits so I won’t either,” said one player. “He is our teammate so I have his back,” said another. Others said it’s because of his “bravery,” “toughness” and “courage.”

The Blazers are sitting in third place in the contest as of April 6.

“This is a Kanata story but it’s become an Ottawa story – we’re representing Ottawa,” said Paul O’Kane, fundraising director for the team. “I've seen some of the other entries and they're all excellent. However, when it comes to helping out an individual who

through no fault of their own needs help, then I think it’s a no brainier. “(Jonathan is) inspirational. He’s a hero to a lot of people within the Ottawa community.”

The Kanata Blazers have conducted other fundraisers for the family over the season, including raffles and a trivia night, raising $3,000 for Jonathan.

As a finalist in the Good Deeds Cup, the Blazers were also awarded $2,000 for the team and $2,000 for the family, all of which will be donated to Jonathan, said O’Kane.

“If we win we’ll donate $20,000 to DEBRA, for a grand total of $27,000,” he said.

“It doesn’t take anything at all. You log in once a day and you place a vote.

You share it with your friends on social media and have them place a vote. Lets do what we can to help out.”

The contest was originally scheduled to close on March 23 but issues with voting caused the organizers to restart the process. Voting in the contest is open until April 20. People can vote once a day. For details or to vote, visit chevrolethockey.com.

Look at memory care differently!

Stephanie could not wait to visit Nan every summer as a child.

Now grown and with a family of her own, Stephanie often worried about how to take care of Nan and her two boys.

Then she found Bridlewood Trails Retirement Community.

Bridlewood’s customized daily activities ensure she receives cognitive stimulation, dignity, and purpose, while offering Stephanie the comfort in knowing that Nan lives every moment to its fullest.

Grade 8 student will head to Regina for Canada wide science competition

My sincere thanks to Mary and Rick Charlebois of the Point Dining Lounge, and Legion 616 of Constance Bay for hosting the community’s Vimy Ridge commemoration ceremony. I would also like to send a special thanks to the musicians who put on such a wonderful performance! A special highlight of the event was Canadian Troubadour Doug Smith’s performance of his song “A Proud Canadian”. The event was such a wonderful way to commemorate the sacrifices made by those to whom we owe so much.

Fourteen-year-old Bhavya Mohan swept up a number of awards at the Ottawa Regional Science Fair, held March 31 and April 1.

The Grade 8 Earl of March Secondary School student created a DNA measurement tool that can be used to detect cancer cells. The tool is “a portable, efficient and cost effective diagnostic mechanism” that could be used in developing countries, he said.

“I've designed a DNA measurement tool which can facilitate the same diagnostic as a Nanodrop,” said Bhavya.

A Nanodrop is a medical machine that allows the analysis of minute samples and costs upwards of $10,000.

“Nanodrops cost tens of thousands of dollars while my device only cost me $1 to fabricate. (With) $1 I was able to measure the amount of DNA and also be able to tell if a cancer was present or not,” said Bhavya.

Current diagnostic tools often require specialized lab equipment, are expensive and time intensive, he said.

“In the real world, this device could be used in Third World countries to help more people be able to diagnose diseases,” said Bhavya. “This device could be used to promote more early diagnosis.”

His project, titled “Development of a Novel Lab on a Chip based PCR Sensor for Disease Diagnostics,” took home a number of distinctions at the regional science fair including: • First place Interdisciplinary Award in the junior category; • the Challenge Award in the junior health category (includes $75 cash prize); • the University of Ottawa Translational and Molecular Medicine award (includes $100 cash prize); • and a Professional Engineers Ontario-Ottawa Chapter award (includes $100 cash prize).

Bhavya is one of 11 students who will travel to Regina, Sask. this May for the Canada Wide Science Fair.

I had the good fortune of once again being paired up with another bright young woman, this time from Carleton University’s Women in House program.

Joanna Sivasankaran was an excellent shadow for the day, even though the first thing we did that day was attend a class at the rival University of Ottawa. We had a full day after the guest speaking engagement, and I hope she gained some valuable insight into the role of a parliamentarian.

Guest Speaker at University of Ottawa I had the pleasure of attending Dr. Miriam Levitt’s Women and Politics course at the University of Ottawa.

The course’s topic of the day was the history of women in the House of Commons, and I had the opportunity to come speak to the students and offer my unique perspective on the subject. It’s always a pleasure to speak to the future leaders of our country.

I want to send a big happy birthday to Evelyn Dick.

Evelyn celebrated her 100th birthday at the Brookfield over the weekend. Councillor Marianne Wilkinson and I were more than happy to be on hand to also wish her all the best as she celebrated her big day.

She’s inspiration to all of us, and her advocacy for her community has not gone unnoticed.

Mimi Braiter, a Grade 7 student at Ottawa Jewish Community School in Nepean, conducted an experiment to prove hockey helmets should have a soft protective layer on the outside of the hard shell to help lessen concussions in players.

Barrhaven residents Mingde Yin and Aditya Prashar — both Grade 10 students at Colonel By Secondary School — created a portable solar still to turn contaminated water into safe drinking water.

Their model “makes clean drinking water 100 per cent of the time,” said Mingde.

And the still, unlike water filters that have to be replaced, can be used an infinite number of times, added Aditya.

Their portable, compact solar still cost less than $7 to make and could be used for humanitarian

aid and commercial uses, they said.

Mingde and Aditya took home two awards and an honourable mention: • an American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers intermediate award (includes $200 cash prize); • an Ottawa Regional Science Fair Committee — Consumer Products award (includes $75 cash prize); • and an Interdisciplinary Award honourable mention in the intermediate category.

Mimi used gel packs, sponges and bubble wrap to test her theory, and all three lessened the impact more than a regular helmet, with gel packs absorbing the most impact, she said.

Mimi won an Independent Health Science Research award with a $100 cash prize and an Interdisciplinary Award honourable mention in the junior category.

Salt and sprouts

Grade 7 Ashbury College student Xander Fallis studied the effects of salt run-off on farmers’ crops by using magnesium chloride and alfalfa sprouts, winning a third place Interdisciplinary Award in the junior category.

Too much of the chemical killed the plant while a small amount “is healthy for the plant and boosts the plants growth rate,” he said.

Xander plans to expand his project over the summer to study if the solution could make crops grow faster, have more than one harvest and taste the same, he said.

Infant, toddler and preschool programs face axe at public school board in 2013.

The board offers each of its infant, toddler and preschool – or ITP – programs year-round, and kids are enrolled on fulltime basis with care provided during the day from Monday to Friday.

Those programs operate out of Rideau High School, Woodroffe High School, Adult High School and Frederick Banting Secondary Alternate School.

When Rideau High School closes in September as result of the board’s recent accommodation review, its ITP program

Public school board trustees are considering shutting down two of the district’s four infant, toddler and preschool programs and raising the daily fee for its remaining two programs.

Those are some of the options laid out in a report presented by board staff during a meeting on April 4.

Whatever the outcome, staff is aiming to reduce the nearly $800,000 deficit incurred by the four programs since they opened

will relocate to Queen Elizabeth Public School.

There are currently about 140 children enrolled in the board’s ITP programs, 71 of whom are accessing subsidized care, thanks to an agreement with the city.

But the report presented by staff during the meeting reveals that the school board is struggling to find a balance between offering high quality affordable programs and recovering costs.

“When districts elect to operate child care programs, the expectation is that they recover the cost of operating the programs, without making profit,” the report said.

“Experience in the OCDSB has demonstrated that it is very difficult to recover the cost of operating the ITP programs.”

The report cited a number of reasons for operating deficits across the four programs, including, salaries, pension and benefits for OCDSB childcare program employees that are higher than those of many child care operators in the city, and declining enrolment in the programs at Frederick Banting Secondary Alternative School and

Megan DeLaire/Metroland

In a committee meeting on April 4, public school board staff presented recommendations for cutting down on the board’s infant, toddler and preschool program operational deficit, including shutting down two programs and raising the daily fee for its remaining programs. the Adult High School.

The review also claims that fees for the board’s ITP programs haven’t kept pace with cost of operating the programs, and don’t match fees of similar programs offered by non-profit agencies.

Finally, staff said changes in direct government funding

approved by the city in 2015 resulted in a $220,000 annual loss in funding that supported operation of the board’s ITP programs.

“There are no simple or clear solutions,” Susan MacDonald, superintendent of instruction, told trustees during the April 4 meeting.

“However staff have provided some options for your consideration. The options … consider both short- and long-term strategies to move towards the operation of ITP programs in a cost neutral and fiscally responsible manner.”

As of last September, the four programs were running a cumulative deficit of $660,000, a number expected to grow to $799,000 by the end of the current school year.

The programs at Rideau and Woodroffe high schools are at fully enrolment but at a high cost to the board.

In the 2015-16 school year, the ITP program at Rideau ran at a deficit of $173,000 and the program at Woodroffe High School ran at a deficit of $203,000.

The programs at the Adult

High School and Frederick Banting are struggling with low enrolment and operating at a significant deficit.

In the last school year, the Adult High School operated at a deficit of $69,000 and the program at Frederick Banting ran at a deficit of $164,000.

Four options

The first two options proposed by staff involve closing programs at Frederick Banting and the Adult High School, but the second option also proposes increasing the daily fee for the

district’s remaining ITP programs for the first time since 2013.

Staff cited low enrolment at the school and expenditures exceeding revenue as reasons for closing the two programs.

“In spite of the efforts to attract new families to the preschool programs at Frederick Banting and Adult High School, the enrolment has declined steadily over the last number of years,” MacDonald said.

Ending the two programs would reduce the ITP program deficit by $281,000, bringing the deficit down to $518,000.

According to the report, increasing daily program fees as well as ending the two programs would lower the deficit further, to $501,000.

The report recommends increasing the daily fee for infant and toddler programs to $89 per day from $61 per day, and increasing the daily fee for the preschool program to $66 per day from $45 per day.

The third option involves shifting toward a delivery model that transfers responsibility for ITP programs from the

board to third-party providers in September 2018.

While it would free the board from financial responsibility, the board would still have to deal with multiple providers addressing ITP needs across the district.

There’s also no guarantee third-party operators would

uting to deficit.

As for other cost-cutting options, the report said ITP programs have low staff-to-student ratios, required by legislation, so staffing makes programs expensive to operate. Because the positions are legislatively mandated, board the report said there are no possible savings in

want to bid on programs currently operating at a loss, staff said.

The final option involves creating an arm’s length not-forprofit corporation to oversee program delivery and assume financial responsibility for the ITP programs.

This model would relieve the board of financial responsibility for ITP programs and allow for one provider to oversee all ITP programs in the district.

While it doesn’t address current deficit issues, it could address larger structural issues contrib-

the area of staffing.

Reducing the budget for food, snacks, supplies and service wouldn’t contribute to lowering deficit much either.

For now, staff are applying for emergency operating funding from city to help offset the loss of government funding, but that funding wouldn’t exceed $100,000 and won’t address the long-term funding shortfall.

Trustee Mark Fisher pointed to changes in the structure of government funding for preschool programs as a factor

that has complicated the matter of planning ahead for operating the programs, but said the board needs to continue to grow in the area of childcare, not close programs.

“My vision is that we are able to develop a program that is high quality care, is accessible, is affordable, and there’s seamless management between the board, the city and the province in implementation and execution,” he said.

“I think we need to be in the business. I don’t think we should be closing sites … In my part of the city, which is the second largest district in the city, parents are screaming for more and more care. There’s not enough. So we do need to be in the business, at all levels … we need to figure out how to do that within this chaotic space that we now seem to be operating in.”

Trustees are expected to vote on staff’s recommendations during a meeting on May 2.

If trustees vote to close the programs at Frederick Banting and Adult High School, the programs will end as of Aug. 31.

Orchid society to showcase olfactory wonderland at spring show

BY Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Chocolate enthusiasts will likely be in olfactory heaven when they take a whiff of select orchids emanating fragrances echoing that of their favourite sweet treat at the upcoming Ottawa Orchid Society’s spring show.

Other scents won’t be quite as inviting, but will offer an unforgettable experience nonetheless.

“The scents are amazing.

Some of them smell like chocolate, some of them smell like coconut, some of them smell like rotten meat,” said Jean Hollebone, past president of the Ottawa Orchid Society, which is hosting its 36th annual show April 22 and 23 at the RA Centre in the Billings Bridge community.

It’s considered the largest annual flower show in eastern Ontario, and will showcase about 600 orchids, drawing more than 2,500 enthusiasts from as far

away as Kingston, Brockville, Ganonoque and the Ottawa Valley.

Members of the Ottawa Orchid Society and those with other societies based elsewhere in Ontario and Quebec will showcase their green thumb talents. The Montreal Botanical Garden will also have blooms on display.

HOOKED ON ORCHIDS

The spring show is designed to provide enthusiasts with a chance to see some rare orchids and those difficult to grow.

“It’s very addictive,” Hollebone said of growing orchids. “The challenge for all of us is buying a small plant when it’s a baby … and growing it up to see what the bloom is like.”

Orchids can take anywhere between 18 months and eight years

A weekly guide in legal matters

If you have a general legal question that you would like to have addressed send it via email to Legalmatters@compellingcounsel.com

I am planning to purchase my first home. Are there any tax incentives for first time home buyers?

As a first time home buyer you may be eligible to receive a partial refund of the Ontario Land Transfer Tax which is charged on real estate purchases. The First Time Home Buyers’ Tax Credit and the Home Buyers’ Plan are federal programs that provide assistance.

Land Transfer Tax (LTT) The Land Transfer Tax is paid to Ontario government whenever there is a registered change of ownership of real property. While there are certain exceptions, the land transfer tax is generally payable whenever someone purchases a residential home. The amount of the LTT depends on the purchase price and the current tax rate rises progressively from 0.5% on the first $55,000 of the purchase price to 2% of the amount of purchase price which exceeds $400,000.

First time home buyers get a LTT refund up to a maximum of $4,000. To qualify for this refund, you must not have owned a home anywhere in the world in the past and you must use your new home as your primary residence within nine months of the purchase.

There will also be a competition in which judges from the American Orchid Society, the official judging body in North America, will name the best plant in show, and hand out awards for best in class and best-specimen plant. Another competition will focus on fragrance.

He obtained his law degree from the University of Ottawa’s Common Law program in 2011 and subsequently articled in Burlington, Ontario.

If you are buying a home together with someone that is not a first time home buyer, you can still receive half of the refund.

First Time Home Buyers’ Tax Credit (HBTC) The First Time Home Buyers’ Tax Credit is available for the taxation year in which a first home is purchased.

The value of this tax credit is $5,000. It can lower a person’s income tax by up to $750.

Home Buyer’s Plan (HBP) Home buyers can withdraw up to $25,000 from an RRSP if the funds are used towards the purchase of their home. Although there are no immediate tax consequences at the time of withdrawal, the full amount must be repaid to the RRSP within 15 years.

To qualify the Purchaser must not have owned a home in the preceding four years.

2nd SECTION

Ottawa artists paint a picture of Canadian identity Neighbourhood Arts 150 project launches

hood Arts 150 has three important themes; celebration, diversity and inclusivity.

“It was a real coup because these types of funding opportunities don’t come up very often,” said Stanley.

Artists were selected through a two-day jury process made up of highly regarded members of the local art community.

AOE received 35 submissions, which were evaluated on creative merit, the originality of each concept, their relevance to the Canada 150 theme and the reputation of the artist, according to Stanley.

“We received a lot of variety in the proposals,” said Stanley.

“We have everything from installation art to playback theatre to dance. It was just every discipline possible.”

BY Victoria St. Michael Victoria.StMichael@metroland.com

Ottawa’s art community is diving into the Canada 150 celebrations this year and what they have in mind isn’t just for those who live in the city’s downtown core.

The AOE Arts Council launched its Neighbourhood Arts 150 project on April 7.

Neighbourhood Arts 150 is a project that involves 12 local artists working on various projects across the city that focus on inclusivity for Ottawa residents of all ages and backgrounds.

“We were focusing on communities outside the downtown core, because the tendency is for a lot of activity to happen centrally, and there are a lot of artists in different communities who don’t get those opportunities very often,” said Patrice Stanley, Neighbourhood Arts 150’s project manager.

“It was a good opportunity

The project is supported by both the federal and provincial governments and is being funded by Heritage Canada.

The goal is to explore what it means to be Canadian through a variety of art forms that span across the capital.

The project will see community associations and business

improvement areas working side by side with artists, which Stanley says is unique.

“You’re getting people who don’t normally work together, working together,” said Stan-

ley. “It’s kind of bridging those gaps, because the arts community tends to be pretty insular.

But with this, you’re seeing connections being made.”

Stanley says Neighbour-

She is currently part of their Arts Place residency and founded her own company called Art in Jest.

Dunn jumped at the chance to participate in the Neighbourhood Arts 150 project.

THINKING ABOUT CONDO LIVING? If your children have flown the coop and you’re tired of spending time and money on the upkeep of your property, owning a condominium might be a viable option for you.

Without having to give up being a homeowner, you could say “goodbye” to your lawn-

mower, snow blower, and step ladder. You could stop feeling enslaved to your house and free up some time for travel, golf, and relaxing. Whether alone or with a spouse, you are sure to find a condo that suits your needs — many condominium complexes have

swimming pools, gyms, laundry rooms, and the like.

Such amenities come with a price tag attached, however.

Before making the big change from house to condo, there are two questions to consider: are you ready to live in a micro-society of co-owners,

Twelve artists participate in Neighbourhood Arts 150 those stories together and make a visual comparison between what was and what is.”

“AOE is really conscious about trying to make sure art is for everyone, and a lot of their projects involve getting these experiences to people who either socially, geographically or economically don’t typically have access,” said Dunn.

“I’m always interested in what the less-heard voice has to say. The AOE is usually really up for that type of project.”

Dunn’s project will be called Re[place] Re[collect], and is all about seniors and storytelling.

Dunn will travel across the city and surrounding areas to gather the memories and stories of Ottawa’s seniors, who she says may want to celebrate Canada 150 in a way that doesn’t involve cramming into a parade in the middle of downtown Ottawa.

“They just have the best stories,” said Dunn. “I think a seven-year-old and a 77-yearold are usually the people with the coolest ideas about what’s going on in a room.”

The stories will be compiled into a book that pairs photog-

Caroline Yergeau and Marie-Pierre Proulx from the Belvédère Theatre in Orléans are stepping up as the only fully francophone project involved in Neighbourhood Arts 150.

Their project, aimed at the Orléans and Cumberland areas, will connect teens from Garneau high school, local seniors and professional actors in an onstage production on June 8.

The production, inspired by a similar German project called 100, will not only explore what it’s like to be part of the Orléans community now, but will also look to the future.

“What we decided to do is work with the community and ask them what they think the neighbourhood will be like in 150 years,” said Yergeau, the theatre’s artistic director. “We established a partnership with the community to get 150 answers to a questionnaire we created. There will be a lot of

movement — we are using the teenagers as a choir of movement onstage.”

Yergeau, who founded the theatre in 2010, says the company places a lot of value in working with the community.

“Being an artist, you have to address the community in an artistic but also in a social way,” said Yergeau. “This isn’t our first time working with community partners.”

BREAD

THUNK!theatre is combining their love of food and theatre by revisiting 'Bread', their very first production dating back to the company’s birth in 2012.

They will be collaborating with the Parkdale Food Centre.

Co-founder Geoff McBride says the project has two parts.

“Bread school,” the first part, is a five-week workshop at the Parkdale Food Centre that teaches participants how to make different kinds of bread like sourdough and flatbread that began on March 29.

The second part, which is

composed of five productions that will be held at the Parkdale Food Centre on May 3 and 5, will give members of the Hintonburg community a chance to experience an intimate performance while creating something of their own.

McBride said Neighbourhood Arts 150 was a great opportunity for them to interact with the community and explore what it means to be Canadian through creation and interaction with other members of the community.

“We enjoy the challenge of creating projects that we can bring outside the theatre walls,” said McBride. “That was something that began with Bread in 2012 and we’ve carried that with us ever since.”

THUNK!theatre team member Karen Balcome says the play is based around two characters, Seth and Ruby, who are moving out of their neighbourhood.

Seth and Ruby invite their friends — the audience — to make bread with them as a parting gift.

Each audience member will

leave with a small loaf of bread, and according to Balcome, the hope is that they will also have made a connection with their Canadian identities.

The act of making the bread is simply a means to forge connections with yourself and your community, says Balcome.

“We had a fantastic moment where we were asking our participants about big changes in their lives,” said Balcome.

“One woman from Egypt spoke about how she got ‘Canada syndrome’ after coming here. She got the bug, and ended up having such an appreciation for our country. That’s a good example about how this project is bringing out stories about what it means to be Canadian.”

These are three of the 12 artists who will be unveiled at the AOE Art Council’s launch event at the Innovation Centre at Bayview Yards.

Stanley says anyone who is interested in Neighbourhood Arts 150 can visit their website at 150artsottawa.ca to learn about the artists and see a schedule of events.

Here Sunday, gone Monday. The sports dome at Ben Franklin Park in Nepean deflated suddenly on April 10 with patrons inside, although Superdome’s management said no one was injured.

“I was hoping to be in one when it popped.”

John Foley, general manager at the West Ottawa Soccer Club, said his members would also not be affected by the collapse, and wished the dome a speedy recovery.

“We’re in good shape,” he said. “And we wish them the best in getting back into operation as soon as possible.”

Management said the cause of the deflation is not known.

The facility’s indoor golf range was scheduled to close for the year on April 14 but was forced to shut down early.

At least a dozen sports leagues and clubs – including West Ottawa Soccer Club, Ottawa South United, Ottawa All-Star Flag Football and East Region Soccer League – use the dome.

Joel Leviton, owner and manager of Ottawa Rec Sports, said his club uses the dome as well but isn’t likely to be affected by the collapse.

Despite good news for the club, Leviton expressed some disappointment at not having been caught in the collapse.

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.

sudoku

Bearsaeinrs

horoscopes

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, maintain your composure in light of a sticky situation that you are called upon to handle in the next few days. Others will notice your calm demeanor.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 The truth will ultimately set you free, Leo. Seek the truth when handling a difficult problem and this will eventually make the solution easier to find.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, a trusted friend is willing to hear your side of the story and offer a new perspective and some advice. You need to win this person’s trust back.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, emotions can be a little distracting this week as sparks fly in a new relationship. Avoid going overboard but enjoy this exciting time in your life.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 You might want to hold off on an ambitious project for another month, Virgo. This will give you more time to develop a plan to complete the project.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you are content to take it easy and to follow a familiar routine for now rather than branching out into new things. Take a flier on new friendships and you will be glad you did.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you may need assistance, but no one is stepping up as a candidate at this juncture. Wait a bit longer and someone is sure to step up to the challenge.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Your presence is a gift to someone who needs you even if you get tongue-tied and don’t know what to say, Capricorn. Let your company serve as support. Things will fall in place.

Cherry tomato and mushroom quinoa risotto great side dish Here’s a spin on risotto, using quinoa in place of rice combined with the freshness of cherry tomatoes and mushrooms.

Serve with a green salad or as a side for chicken, fish or beef.

Preparation time: 15 minutes Cooking time: 35 minutes Roasting time: 10 minutes Serves four (Makes 4 cups) Ingredients

• 2 cups (500 mL) small greenhouse cherry or grape tomatoes • 3 tbsp (45 mL) olive oil • 3 cloves garlic, minced • 3/4 cup (175 mL) quinoa, rinsed and drained • 2-1/4 cups (550 mL) sodium-reduced chicken or vegetable broth (approx.)

• 1 tsp (5 mL) salt • 2 small shallots, finely chopped • 2-1/2 cups (625 mL) sliced white button mushrooms (about

7 oz/210 g) • 1 tbsp (15 mL) whole wheat flour • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) pepper • 1/4 cup (50 mL) chopped fresh basil leaves • 1/2 cup (125 mL) crumbled goat cheese (Chèvre) Preparation instructions

In medium bowl, toss tomatoes with 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the oil and 1 clove of the garlic.

Place in single layer on parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet and bake in 450°F (230°C) oven for 8 to 10 minutes, shaking gently once, or until skin is blistered. Set aside.

Meanwhile, place quinoa in medium saucepan, add 1-1/2 cups (375 mL) of the broth and ½ tsp (2 mL) of the salt. Bring to boil; reduce heat to mediumlow, cover and cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until grains are trans-

lucent and most of the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat.

In large, deep non-stick skillet, heat remaining oil over medium heat. Add shallots and cook for two minutes or until softened. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, for five minutes or until browned and juicy. Add flour, pepper, and remaining garlic and salt; cook stirring for 1 minute. Add remaining broth and stir until thickened. Stir in cooked quinoa, roasted tomatoes and basil; heat through. (Add more broth if needed for a creamy consistency.)

Long-range plan for Science and Tech museum approved

BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com

The plan is set for the Canada Science and Technology Museum.

The National Capital Commission’s board approved

the corporation’s long-range master plan for its St. Laurent museum site at an April 6 board meeting.

The museum, at 2421 Lancaster Rd., has been undergoing an $80.5-million redesign, and plans were launched for

a new $7-million outdoor science park and $156.4-million collections facility at the site.

The approved plan includes room to build a new collection conservation centre, a science park and priority roadways and sidewalks for pedestrians,

cyclists and buses coming to the museum – all to create a world-class museum campus that exposes visitors to science.

Rita Tadi, senior architect for design and land use for the NCC, presented the plan to the board.

Tadi said the goal of the museum’s master plan has always been to define a space for the collections facility, as well as find a way to make pedestrian, cycling and transit a priority.

The planned science park planned aims to offer animation and outdoor educational space all year; and the collections facility will protect and preserve more than two million artifacts.

Divided into different phases of construction and development, the museum

- which closed in September 2014 due to mould and a leaky roof - will reopen in November 2017.

The landscaping and conservation building is expected to be complete by 2018.

The park plans are still in development and will be presented, Tadi reported to the board, once completed.

The fourth and final stage, an extension to the conservation building will be a part of the long-term plan, Tadi said.

DESIGN

Looking similar to the roadway at Lansdowne Park, Tadi said Gladden Crescent would be a shared space between cars, bicycles and pedestrians.

Details of this design, Tadi added, will be part of the mu-

seum’s park project.

“The plans are focused on the pedestrians,” Tadi said.

“The master plan defines some aspects that are both functional and sustainable.

For instance, areas for children to play, adequate parking spots, lighting and pedestrian connections.”

Traffic would flow in one direction, from Lancaster Road, towards Gladwin Crescent (where a steam engine is now), and wrap around the museum, leading out again toward Lancaster.

Parking will be reduced from more than 590 spaces to just over 400 and will be located behind the museum.

Overflow parking is to take up space along the road, at the front of the museum.

Collection facility details revealed at Science and Tech museum Continued from page 40

Board member Norman Hotson cautioned the corporation on its shared road and parking space in the front of the museum.

“I think you will find, that through practical realities, it will remain a parking lot, I like the idea of shared spaces, but it really has to be managed to work,” Hotson said.

“In general it’s a good plan, but I think it is also flawed in some ways and still needs a bit of work.”

NCC chief executive officer Mark

Kristmanson said Hotson’s comments would be relayed back to the design team.

COLLECTION CENTRE

Designs for the new Collection Conservation Centre were also presented and approved by the NCC board, A long rectangular building, it spans from the museum to St. Laurent.

With little to no natural light in the design, Tadi described the gray aluminum-cladded building as a beautiful warehouse.

The proposal is for a 36,000 square metre building, but in the future, Tadi said there is the possibility it could expand and grow to more than double its size.

The main entrance will be tucked away inside a courtyard, aimed at creating a hierarchy that the museum’s entrance remains the more prominent of the two.

With only seven per cent of the museum’s collection able to be on display, corporation staff said this new centre project will allow the public the opportunity to view a lot more of the artifacts, including the more robust artifacts like the trains.

The three-storey building will double as storage for the museum’s vast collection of artifacts, as well as space for staff to work with them.

The proposal includes the steam engine collection on the ground floor, possible to view from a small glass cutout.

Display cases will also be placed at the south end of the building, facing the museum’s future park.

There will be large display rooms – used to display large artifacts.

“This could bring interest to the space and help create the building’s identity,” Tadi said.

Before approving the design, board members addressed their concerns

The proposal includes room to build a new collection conservation centre, a park and priority given to roadways and sidewalks for pedestrians, cyclists and buses coming to the museum. about the absence of light in the building. Hotson asked whether the artifacts, such as the trains, might get more lighting.

“I would suggest the ground floor transparency is a serious issue with this building.".

"I think the entire south ground floor should be transparent,” Hotson

According to Kristmanson, the idea to test for light had been thoroughly explored. But he said he would report back to the team after seeing if there could be any more possibilities for light.

Playing cards was a staple of Mary’s household

N

obody liked a game of cards better than I did.

Of course, we young ones were never allowed to play euchre at the Saturday night house parties. That was for adults. But if we could find an extra deck of cards, we could sit on a bed upstairs and play Old Maid, or Snap, two favourite games of mine, while the adults pounded the table down in the kitchen.

Although we kids learned euchre at an early age, it was still considered an adult game come Saturday night.

The neighbour away on the Barr Line never missed a Saturday night house party. She walked as stiff as a board, and her lips were thin and clamped together so that you could hardly see that she had a mouth.

She had a fierce look about her and even at a game of euchre she hardly ever smiled.

She always wore black, and on the hottest night of the summer, she had a crocheted shawl draped around her shoulders.

Although father would never be rude to her, he had little patience with her constant talk about the sins of the world, and all of us were going straight to hell in a basket. I often wondered where she would end up, but was too frightened to ask.

Even though this woman never missed a card game on a Saturday night, she said she wouldn’t touch a deck of cards on a Sunday if her life depended on it. Playing cards on Sunday was right up there with swearing or stealing chickens. Whatever church she belonged to forbade it.

how Emerson knew exactly where the Queen of Spades was, until my sister Audrey discovered him sitting on it, ready to play it at just the right time.

My brother Earl loved to build card houses when the table was cleared. I was amazed at how high he could build without the whole thing falling in a heap.

It wasn’t above Emerson to give the table a shake to bring the card house down either.

But the Saturday night house Well, it didn’t matter to us if ended up losing at Snap, until party was when cards seemed to was Sunday or Monday.

MARY COOK

Memories

of me one Saturday night when the house party was at our farm, and I asked father why the woman from the Barr Line was so against cards on Sunday. He said he wouldn’t doubt it for a minute that, when she was alone on a Sunday,, she wouldn’t reach for a deck of cards to break the monotony of living alone, never letting on to anyone. And he gave a hearty chuckle, and said, “It’s like someone who is death

Katimavik students to host unforgettable evening ‘We’re just trying to help the world and raise a bunch of money for a really good charity’

BY Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

A Grade 8 class at Katimavik Elementary School is planning an unforgettable evening for April 27.

Competing in the entrepreneurial adventurers program – a national contest where stu-

dents construct a business and raise funds for a local charity – Bruce Gray’s class created charitable company ForgetMe-Not. The students selected the Alzheimer’s Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County as their charity of choice after seeing how many people in the

class had been affected.

“I personally have a connection with that,” said student Hailey Hine, whose grandmother had Alzheimer’s.

“There was a lot of people in our class whose grandparents or people they're related to have been affected by it.”

The evening will feature live musical entertainment by the students, refreshments and a silent auction. The class is hoping to raise $1,000 through their event.

“That is our number one goal but any donation will really help,” said Duncan Macfarlane.

“We’re just trying to raise as much money for awareness, looking for any kind of way we can help out with this cause.”

Through the program students are learning how to run various aspects of a business, with teams working on: • developing and following a budget; • support and donation solicitation; • advertising;

“We’ve learned a lot about business,” said student Garnett Griffin. “The whole point of this program was to learn about how a real business would work.”

The 31-student class spends a few periods a week working on the event, said Gray, adding the work touches on a number of curriculum areas including language, math and social studies.

“It also fosters great teamwork,” he said. “It’s been a really interesting experience.”
