Family with whooping cough out of isolation Glen Cairn mom tells of decision to vaccinate Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

When Tara Hills first decided to write a blog post detailing her decision to have her seven kids vaccinated, she never thought her story would go viral. But days before she planned to publish the post, she realized it was a bacteria that she would have to worry about instead. Hills, a 36-year-old mother of seven children living in Glen Cairn, was against vaccination and had been for years. Three of her kids had been partially vaccinated years before, while the rest hadn’t received any. But, after reading about an outbreak of measles in Disneyland, she decided to research vaccination until the question of whether it was safe or necessary for her children was put to rest, she said. To her surprise, after 50 hours of research, she was convinced that her R0013180991-0319

children should be vaccinated, and scheduled doctor’s appointments for all seven of them. But, just a few days before the first round of vaccinations, she was informed by doctors at CHEO that her kids, all seven of them, had whooping cough. The bacterial infection, which is best guarded against by vaccination, proved to be a strong instructional tool, said Hills. In fear for her children and for those they had been in contact with, Hills decided to write about this new development in her blog post and publish it on The Scientific Parent website on April 8. After five days of quarantine and antibiotic treatment, her family’s whooping cough ordeal is just about over, said Hills. “They are no longer contagious,” she said, adding that Ottawa Public Health has given the family the green light to go out into the community again. Public health officials would not confirm that the Hills are no longer contagious, citing privacy concerns. See SHARING, page 3

Sharing vaccination opinion switch ‘worth it’: Hills But the health department did say it would be in contact with residents who may be impacted by an infectious disease. The family is happy to be out of the house and no longer a danger to their friends and community members, said Hills, but they are still dealing with the aftermath of the blog post. Despite some broken relationships with friends and angry comments on the Internet, Hills said she doesn’t regret the decision to tell the world about her and her husband’s decision. “I knew that we were going to take some hits for the home team,� said Hills. “But it was worth it.� ANSWERING QUESTIONS

Hills’s decision to dig into her concern over vaccines began about two months ago, when she committed to doing some in-depth research via a Facebook post, after reading about the outbreak of measles in Disneyland that began in early January. Though the family had vacci-

The seven youngest members of the Hills family, ranging from 10 months old to 10 years old, recently contracted whooping cough just days before their parents had scheduled them to be vaccinated.

nated some of their kids years ago, Hills said, “We stopped because we were scared and didn’t know who to trust.� “Was the medical community just paid off puppets of a big pharma-government-media conspiracy? Were these vaccines even necessary in this day and age?� After 50 hours of research, and speaking with a friendly provaccination public health advocate, Hills decided that she had read enough – she was convinced her children needed to get vaccinated. “I had wanted to prove that I was doing the right thing (by not vaccinating),� she said. “I love my kids!� But, asked to write her questions about vaccinations down and seek to answer them one by one, she found the big pharma conspiracy theory didn’t hold up. “My questions boiled down to, do we really need to (vaccinate)? My second was how safe is it really? And the third was, can you prove that?� said Hills. It turns out they can, she said.

needs in Canada and across the world is a change in how we talk about each other,” said Hills. Though she knows the media attention will soon blow over, Hills said she doesn’t know how her community is going to react to her kids now, or to her now that they are out of quarantine. They still have a cough, she said, but are not contagious after five days of antibiotic treatment. Ottawa Public Health information supports this, stating that those infected with whooping cough are no longer contagious after five days of antibiotic treatment. Young children are generally the only ones who can be hurt by whooping cough, according the city information. Hills said Ottawa Public Health told her no one has contracted whooping cough due to contact with her children. “I can understand if people are concerned if they’ve been put at risk totally inadvertently,” said Hills. But the risk is over. Hills added that her kids are scheduled to get vaccinated later this month.

“I turned to my husband after all this study and I said, ‘Gavin, I rest my case … I don’t need to search this anymore.” Feeling duped, embarrassed and stupid, Hills said she and her husband had to accept that they had made a mistake, and that, now that their position on vaccination had changed, they should follow through. They scheduled their kids to get vaccinated over the first three Thursdays of April. But, days before, Hills found out that what she had thought was a persistent cough was actually whooping cough, and that all seven of her kids were infected. During her research, Hills had been approached to write a blog post about her research and her decision to leave the antivaccination camp for thescientificparent.org. Expecting to publish the story on April 12, Hills informed her editor about her children’s diagnosis, and that she would publish a re-edited story about the whole thing that same day. “I was like, I need to share this now, and I need to share it from my situation now because I know that this is going to be so embarrassing, but I know this is going to be so powerful,” said Hills. The decision has resulted in a mixed bag of reactions, said Hills, from the downright angry to encouraging. Both reactions make sense, she said. “A lot of people in the public sphere have been amazing, very gracious, more than I deserve, I know it,” said Hills. “I know I don’t deserve to be treated as kindly as I have been by some

people.” At the same time, she said, “I understand their anger at the stereotype that I represent and the threat that they perceive us as. I totally, totally understand and I don’t dismiss that.” “I know there are some people who say, ‘You know it’s not any more than she deserves. She should enjoy the sound of her kids coughing,’” said Hills. While she understands where those people are coming from, she said that kind of attitude is not going to help convince antivaxxers. In her research, Hills said she found that, statistically, the majority of anti-vaxxers are educated, middle-class people. “People who love their kids,” she said. “If you understand that about your opponent, and you don’t treat them like an enemy, but like somebody that you really genuinely want to help, I think that could change the whole social norm of how we discuss this in our private dialogues and in the public sphere, and that I think is going to be the biggest change that this health issue

Shelter for refugee claimants holding first fundraising show Matthew House hopes to raise thousands Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

An organization that supports newcomers to Ottawa who are seeking refugee status is holding a variety show fundraiser at Kanata Baptist Church on April 24. The event, which will feature singing, dancing and musical talent from locals and newcomers, is in support of Matthew House Refuge Services and Furniture Bank. With attendance free to those

under 18 and tickets $10 per person, organizers hope to raise $2,000 to help keep Matthew House running. Matthew House is a Christian organization that draws its inspiration from the Matthew 25:25 Network, referring to Bible scripture about welcoming newcomers. It seeks to do that by providing refugees and refugee claimants a place to live and guidance during the refugee claim process. With space for up to 10 people at a time, Matthew House, located along Centrepointe Drive in Nepean, has helped more than 100 people from dozens of countries since it started in 2010. Partnered with Furniture

Bank located in Kanata, the organization can also provide their residents with volunteer work, job skills and furniture for their future homes. The majority of the organization’s funding comes from churches, individuals and grants, but does not receive government funding, said Matthew House’s program manager, Kailee Brennan. “In an NGO (non-governmental organization) like that, you are always looking for ways to fundraise,” she said. Much of Matthew House’s operating budget comes from its own Ride for Refuge event held in October, and participation in Ottawa Race Weekend. But this year, the organization’s new board is looking to

File

The first annual variety show is just such an attempt, which will showcase ballet dancers from Stittsville’s Arise School of Dance, the McGill Ottawa Alumni Choir, several local solo singers including Lydia Brown and Heather Lynn Smith, as well as other performances from support-

ers of Matthew House, said the event’s organizer and Matthew House director, Meredith Ward. “It’s just going to be a ton of fun,” said Ward. Funds are particularly important now as Matthew House looks to do $30,000 of upgrades to the electrical system of the older home it rents from Bethany Baptist Church in Ne-

pean. Ward said she hopes the event can raise $2,000 or more. Tickets can be purchased at Kanata Baptist Church at 465 Hazledean Rd. at 6 p.m. on April 24. Donations are also accepted, said Ward. There will also be information about Matthew House, the Furniture Bank and volunteer opportunities available. N EW IO N AT C

Book Signing Event

Kaitlin Janes and Ryan Hooper are student representatives that helped put on the Relay for Life 2015 at A. Y. Jackson Secondary School on March 27. The group raised more than $14,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society. The main events are the survivor victory lap, where the students have members of the community who have survived cancer complete a lap. People remember the people they have lost in the luminaire ceremony and in the last ceremony they encourage everyone to fight back. “The reason they have it starting in the night going until morning is because of the symbolism; it represents a cancer patient’s journey. At the beginning it’s dark out representing when they’re first diagnosed,

through the night it gets harder as everyone gets tired but in the morning you see the sun and you realize there is hope and you have made it,” said Janes. The event has been running at A.Y. Jackson for the past four years, and the group has nearly doubled their first donations. “This school has done extremely well. Each year they have increased their total donation by somewhere around $2,000,” said Cam Whalen, a youth program specialist with the Canadian Cancer Society.

Relay for Life at A.Y. Jackson Secondary School raised more than $14,000 in the fight against cancer with an overnight event that began at 7 p.m. and went to 7 a.m. on March 27. About 130 students raised money for the Canadian Cancer Society with the relay and other various fundraisers. “The charity takes the money and invests it into research for new cancer treatments and for projects that improve the quality of life of patients,” said Kaitlin Janes, one of the student representatives that helped put on the event. “The improvements could involve driving them to and from their appointments or connecting them to other patients, survivors and information.” Throughout the night, teams had members constantly walking the course, passing the baton to each other. The event was important to the students who spent hours planning the food, activities and speakers. “It was a pretty successful night filled with activities in all the different areas of the school,” said Ryan Hooper, a student involved with the event. “There is a main event and it is divided into three ceremonies that go on through the night.”

Let sentries stand proud

O

n a day when Canada remembered its proudest military moment, which took place on April 9, 1917 at Vimy Ridge, the country once again showed how petty politics and over-bearing bureaucracy continues to reduce the legacy of our Armed Forces to a shadow of its former self. Why it makes more sense to post Ottawa police officers at the National War Memorial to protect the National Sentries standing guard over the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier – at a cost of $425,000 this year – than it does to simply hand loaded weapons to these trained military men and women is baffling. According to the Department of National Defence, it doesn’t have jurisdiction over the site. Well, perhaps rather than dishing out close to half a million dollars a year to protect the protectors, why not change the jurisdiction? Surely both the federal government and City of Ottawa could come up with a reasonable solution along those lines, in light of the shooting of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo last October. Some might worry about the presence of armed

members of the military in the capital, but what makes a soldier less trustworthy with weapons than police? Do soldiers, if provided appropriate training, pose some threat to our democracy? We don’t live under a military junta and it’s highly unlikely we ever will. Providing a couple of soldiers performing a ceremonial duty the means to protect themselves will hardly sow the seeds of a Dr. Strangelove-esque catastrophe. Canada’s service men and women have been bearing the brunt of our political inadequacies for some time now. All one needs to do is to look at the way our veterans are treated or at the once-againdeplorable state of the Forces themselves following Canada’s withdrawal from Afghanistan to see the rot. The last thing Canada needs to do, especially in plain view of a monument to the legacy and bravery of its soldiers, is hire guardians to protect the guardians. Just give the brave men and women at the National War Memorial the means to protect themselves and let them stand proud.

he Ontario government, according to a recent news item, “is speeding up the process for closing schools, as part of a crackdown on publicly funded boards with too many classrooms sitting empty.� Reflecting that, the government indicates that only two public meetings, instead of four, need to be held before a school closes, and the review need only take five months instead of seven. Some people will see that as good news. The notion of lazy or stubborn boards wasting taxpayers’ dollars by keeping useless schools open is repugnant to those who make saving the taxpayers’ dollar the top priority. But there are other priorities that deserve at least a thought before we

to have anticipated by the decision makers. Given this, making decisions on school closings more quickly hardly seems like a logical step. Another priority is consultation. Those neighbourhood groups and parent groups that insist on having their say may seem like annoying hindrances to efficient decisionmaking, but they have rights, not to mention children. Further, they have local knowledge that the authorities should treasure rather than resent. A third priority is neighbourhood. The school is the centre of the neighbourhood.

Ontario. “A school is the hub of a community,� she said. “When you close a school, that community has lost a draw for anybody to ever come back.� It may be only a coincidence, but the authorities in the Globe quoted in favour of speeding up the closing process were school board people. The people opposed represented municipal interests. They would be more inclined to recognize the neighbourhood consequences. A so-called under-utilized school is not empty. It could just under two-thirds full. Those who want to shut it down say the money could better be spent on programs. But there is more to a school than programs. A school can have great programs, but if it is overcrowded, the educational benefits will be diluted. At one point, the Ontario government seemed to recognize this. There was a determined effort made to

In defence of the 40-hour work week

T

here are all kinds of promises out in cyberspace that we can eliminate the 40-hour workweek. How? We can be more productive, of course. Just start churning out more in less time. But is that what employers really want in the knowledge economy? It’s widely understood – although only loosely backed through research – that office workers are productive just three hours in an eight-hour day. The rest of the time is spent in meetings, making food, surfing the Internet and otherwise staring at the wall. There’s little to prove this is universally true. But as a business owner for more than 10 years, I’ve necessarily had to identify my own patterns of productivity. I’ve often worked alone on contracts, with the knowledge I’ll only get paid for the final product. Understanding my peak productive times has been essential to building a successful business. What have I discovered? If you’re expected to create stuff out of your head – business or marketing plans, engineering designs or any kind of creative content – you need to work so called “dead productivity hours� into your day. If you

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse don’t – if you try to push yourself to create eight or 10 hours each day -- you’ll burn out, plain and simple. If you have some control over the structure of your day, start mapping your own productivity. Everyone may have their own patterns, but for me writing, or any creative, task-oriented work, is best done in the morning. My ideal writing time is 5 a.m., before anyone gets out of bed, before I even look at email or start to think about what else is on my plate for the day. If I’ve taken the time to write even a few notes or go over a few facts the night before, I can churn out thousands of words in the first hour of my day, in my pyjamas with a hot cup of coffee. Generally, this puts me on a buzz until about noon. I can

channel the momentum of accomplishing something early in the day into many tasks until lunchtime. After that, I fall out of my groove for a couple of hours. I become more distracted, unable to sit for another second. In theory, then, you may conclude that anyone who employs me can expect me to be completely focused and productive for about four to five hours each day. But those so-called dead hours – say, between noon and two – are actually contributing to my productivity at either end of the day. In my ideal day, I’d skip morning meetings, and use afternoons to collaborate with colleagues, email contacts or do administrative tasks that don’t require too much of my focus.

Week in Review Congratulations to the Glen Cairn Public School Grade 8 band for winning gold at the Kiwanis Music Festival- National Capital Region, this past weekend...Well Done! Catch Basins in the Road It’s normal for water to pool around a catch basin in wet weather. Roads are designed to drain based on the sewer capacity. While many residents are able to clear the catch basins themselves of small debris, you may create a service request to advise the City of a catch basin (drain cover) that is: • Blocked (causing flooding on the road) • Missing • Sunken or raised • Broken You will be required to provide: • The street name and number or street name and intersection closest to where the catch basin is located. Submitting Service Requests to the City of Ottawa You can now submit a service request to the City of Ottawa online! By completing a service request online, departments receive the information they need to action the issue immediately, often without any follow-up required. Residents can track all service requests related to their email address in the MyServiceOttawa account once one has been opened. Please visit www.ottawa.ca/serviceottawa to submit your next service request! Should your inquiry be of an urgent nature 311 encourages residents to phone directly at 3-1-1, as the service agent can dispatch the request immediately on the spot.

Upcoming meetings in West Carleton, Vars and Manotick will bring seniors and service providers together to talk about rural transportation options. The Council on Aging Ottawa has teamed up with OC and Para Transpo, community support service agencies and the Seniors Transportation Committee to offer a breakdown of transportation services available for rural seniors in Ottawa. “I hope the seniors can come to understand who does what, where they can get the service and what it will do for them,” said Margaret Dunn, one of the organizers and a member of the city’s Seniors Round Table. The information sessions will discuss access to Para Transpo services in the rural area, as well as the community support services that now fill in the gaps left by a Para Transpo policy change in 2012. Since that time, Para Transpo no longer provides service between two rural destinations, only trips from a rural address to an urban address and back. Three provincially-funded community agencies have picked up the slack to provide largely volunteer-run transit for seniors and people with disabilities, with $506,000 in annual city funding to cover the in-

creased demand. The agencies, Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre (WOCRC), Rural Ottawa South Support Services (ROSSS) and the Eastern Ottawa Resource Centre (EORC), will be on hand at the meetings to explain their services as well. The presentations will also cover OC Transpo’s shopping bus services and its travel training program to help seniors use transit safely. Guests are invited to the Galetta Community Centre in West Carleton on Friday, April 24 between 12:30 and 1:30 p.m. (or 11:30 a.m. if you want to register for a free lunch). A meeting for southern residents will take place May 1 at the Manotick arena between 12:45 and 2:15 p.m. The east-end meeting will be held at the Bearbrook Community Centre in Vars on May 5 between noon and 2 p.m. COMPLEX SYSTEM

While Dunn said no two seniors are ever going to require the same combination of services, just knowing what’s out there is a good idea. “If you can take the time to get to know who those agencies are and what they can do for you, it’s an insurance for yourself,” she said. A person’s health or living situation can change so quickly, she added.

“It’s not the kind of thing to do when faced with a sudden emergency. It’s about making arrangements to enjoy the best possible quality of life in one’s rural home.” Take Dunn, for example. When she had cataract surgery, she couldn’t drive and had to find another way home to Carp. She booked her Para Transpo trip weeks in advance, she said, and made use of the service’s discounted taxi coupon books. She also asked her medical clinic to book all of her followup appointments on Wednesdays, so she could make use of the shopper bus that heads into Stittsville from Carp once a week. That’s one way to take advantage of transit, Dunn said, but for a senior with mobility issues who is limited to using only Para Transpo or an accessible taxi, the system is by no means perfect. For one thing, the non-profit agencies can’t afford to operate outside of regular banking hours, which means some rural seniors are stuck at home in the evenings and on weekends. And a trip on Para Transpo costs $17.20 round trip – and counting. That’s a problem if you want to encourage seniors to live at home longer, she said. “The worst thing that can happen is someone says, ‘I

can’t afford it,’ so they stop going to the doctor, they stop going out,” Dunn said. But Pat Scrimgeour, assistant manager for OC Transpo systems planning, said fares have become more equitable since the city’s policy change in 2012. Leading up to that, seniors’ advocates had pushed for a flat fare to get rid of the confusing fare zones that could cost a rider up to $20 one way depending on their destination. While today someone going from Manotick to Barrhaven might be miffed by the high cost, many others who can now get from the outskirts into downtown for less than $20 are saving money, Scrimgeour said. As for seniors abandoned on evenings and weekends, Scrimgeour said in 2011 there were 48 weekend trips commissioned the entire year, and only 19 evening trips. “These rural to rural trips were quite likely made by a single digit number of people,” Scrimgeour said. The money saved by farming out rural-to-rural trips – which was costing the city up to $300 each time – means “more people are travelling for the same number of dollars.” To register for the session in your area, call 613-741-6025 ext. 324 and leave a message. You can also email vbrousseau@eorc-creo.ca.

It’s the reason Google has a slide and flex-time is considered a great thing. It’s why companies in the knowledge economy promote their fitness programs, work locations (parks or shops nearby) and even free coffee.

Armit. Police responded to the collision at about 2:26 p.m. on April 7, where a car had been struck by a pick-up truck which rolled over and came to rest in a ditch, according to a news release. The driver of the pick-up truck was the only one of the three people involved in the crash who sustained injuries, and was transported to hospital. The vehicles had been traveling eastbound at the time. Ontario police received calls that a third vehicle involved in the collision had fled the scene. Ottawa police were able to intercept the vehicle in the vicinity of Carling Avenue, said Armit. Ontario police subsequent-

ly arrested a 29-year-old Mississippi Mills woman, and charged her with: • Dangerous operation of motor vehicle causing bodily harm • Failing to stop at scene of accident involving bodily harm • Failing to provide a breath sample • Driving while ability impaired causing bodily harm That only one person was injured in the crash was lucky, said Armit. “It’s miraculous sometimes when things happen on the highway and we would sense that there would be a lot more carnage, but luckily there was not as much,â€? he said. The 29-year-old driver is scheduled to appear in court in Ottawa on May 25. “I just clicked and saved 90%â€?

April can be a tumultuous time, and not just with the weather. Parents of public secondary school students in Ottawa have been notified of the looming possibility of labour strife, the result of a collision between teacher’s union demands and the province’s deficit-reduction strategy. On April 9, Jennifer Adams, director of education for the public school board, sent a letter to parents and guardians of students advising them on the labour situation. “The collective agreements for all unionized school board employees in Ontario, including teachers, occasional teachers and support staff expired on August 31, 2014,� Adams wrote. “Currently, none of our bargaining units is in a legal strike position; however, the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF) representing the secondary school teachers and secondary occasional teachers will be in a legal strike posi-

tion on April 19, 2015.� According to Adams, the board is currently in negotiations with its employee groups, a situation that carries with it no immediate risk of labour disruption. If an agreement isn’t reached, however, that situation could change. options

One of the options for the members is a full-scale walkout and suspension of teaching services. With the end of the school year looming, the timing of a possible strike would give strength to the union’s hand in negotiations. A post on the board’s labour relations page, dated April 9, notes that an earlier statement by the OSSTF is considering “a full withdrawal off services in seven districts, including the OCDSB, but the end of April, 2015.� The risk of disruptions does not carry over to elementary schools at this time. The province, which is currently facing a $10.9 billion deficit it has pledged to eliminate in three years’ time, has stated that there is no new

money available for wage increases. Already, school boards faced with stagnant or declining provincial funding have begun the process of reducing staff not covered under collective agreements, such as special education providers. The OSSTF isn’t willing to accept a pay freeze. Paul Elliot, OSSTF president, said on April 8 that a major concern for the union was contract clawbacks that could impact learning conditions. While Durham region would see the first strike action (on April 20) if talks fall apart, other boards, including Ottawa, could follow. The Ottawa board is listed along with Peel, Halton, Sudbury, Lakehead (Thunder Bay) and Waterloo as regions that could see labour action in the coming days. Under the province’s Labour Relations Act, a minimum of five days’ notice is required to be given to school boards before any strike action taken by the OSSTF.

With the help of the team’s sponsors, a donation from the Senators, and a pledge from Laura’s Your Independent Grocer to match the $500, the team ended up having more than $1,500 to purchase groceries for the Kanata Food Cupboard, said Stevenson. The team took to the aisles at Laura’s Your Independent Grocer along with their parents on April 8, determined to

make the most of the $62.50 each player was allotted. “They are like, ‘OK, we can’t go over, which one is a better buy, which one do we get more quantity,’” said Stevenson. “I never thought that kids of this age would look for that. They are putting good practice in with math and grocery shopping – good life skills.” When asked why the team decided to support the food bank instead of go for more ice time, nine-year-old team member Morgan Pelletier from Beaverbrook said, “So we can be nice and so (those in need) can survive.”

Local golf pros support young players with charity tournament New program aims to pay for clinics, memberhsips for 30 kids in first year Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

A pair of Kanata golf pros is looking to give the local scene an injection of young blood with a new junior program that would pay for club memberships and classes for interested young athletes. Gregg Foley and Joe Dubinski, who work at 19th Tee Golf Range and Mini Putt as well as run their own golf school in north Kanata, are lifetime golfers – an opportunity afforded them in large part because prices for club memberships weren’t quite so high when they began learning to play the game. “When I started, membership was $60,” said Dubinski. “Now it’s 10 times that at some places. It’s not as affordable as it used to be, so, for a lot of

middle class and low income families, that extra $500 or $600 to get their kid golfing sometimes can break the bank. “We want to give them that opportunity,” he said. In an effort to do that, the pair is putting together a junior program called My First Swings, which plans to pay for memberships, clinics and other learning opportunities for kids at golf courses around Ottawa. To finance the program, Foley and Dubinski are planning a charity tournament on June 1 at Greensmere Golf and Country Club in Carp. Along with other donations and fundraisers, the pair hopes to raise about $15,000 in the program’s first year to support 30 young golfers like 13-yearold Chelsea Fracke from Kanata Lakes.

After years of playing soccer, doing gymnastics and skiing, Chelsea said she thinks she’s finally found her game, and it’s golf. “I like being outside and playing with my family,” she said, but added hammering a ball with a driver is her favourite part. Learning from Dubinski and Foley at their golf school, she said she is dedicated to go as far as she can in golf. “I think (the junior program) is a really good idea because there are a lot of kids that can’t afford (to play golf) because it’s not cheap,” she said. The cost of entry for young players has also been affecting the local golf scene, said Foley. “Golf is on a little bit of a decline,” he said. “You see the old golf courses where they’ve raised their junior fees or there are not as many kids, and now all of a sudden what used to be a growing golf club, the

WE ARE SKILLED, STRONG, SENSATIONAL

numbers are fading away. So we just want to try and give the kids the opportunity that we had.” The idea of the program is to introduce kids to the game of golf, teach them the skills they need to play well, and then develop players that have an interest and talent to an even greater level. But ultimately, the pair just wants kids to learn something from the game and keep active. “We would love to be able to have Chelsea on the LPGA tour 10 years from now, but if that doesn’t happen and she is able to get a scholarship from it or she meets people through golf that make her a better person and give her opportunity, that’s ultimately (what we are going for),” said Foley.

Nepean ringette team brings home nationals gold Combo of west Ottawa and Nepean players proves strong with 9-0 streak Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

The Nepean Ravens under19 ringette team was crowned after a nine-game winning streak at this year’s Canadian Ringette Championships, securing gold for the second time in three years. The team battled for first place in Wood Buffalo, Alta., from March 31 to April 4 and finished their season on top despite stumbling at the provincial level after a strong year of league play. The team finished 19-0-1 in the Quebec elite league and reached Ontario provincials in second place, said the Ravens head coach, Art Marcotte. But the team hit a wall in their semifinal match-up and failed to medal.

Having qualified for nationals nonetheless, the team used the provincials upset to refocus, said 17-year-old forward Nepean resident Maggie Sullivan. “I think the whole team, when we lost, was pretty devastated,” she said. “But it kind of fired us up to play much harder in nationals, and we took that energy and just worked really hard for the weeks coming up, and it paid off.” Starting the nationals with a 10-9 overtime win, the team tightened up their play and finished as one of the topscoring teams in the championships, along with some impressive defence, said Marcotte. But the semifinals proved to be a hurdle once again for

the team. “We were down for semis for the entire game,” said 16year-old Morgan’s Grant resident, Emily Hogan, the only Kanata player on the team. “Luckily one of our girls tied it with 39 seconds left, and we went into overtime and won it,” she said. “I don’t think I was as nervous playing for gold as I was playing in the semi-final.” The Ravens then shutout Alberta in the final, handing the Nepean team with its second under-19 national championship in three years. “It was amazing. I can’t even put it into words how happy I was,” said Hogan. Made up of girls ages 1618, the team took on players from Kanata, Richmond and Munster this year as the West Ottawa Ringette Association did not have a AA under 19 team this year. Hogan said playing with the Ravens was a great ex-

The gold-medal win was especially important for Sullivan, as it’s her last year

playing before heading to university. But she said she has no reservations about leaving the team in the hands of her younger teammates.

“They grew so much over the year, and they will be able to keep the good, strong team that we’ve made this year and keep it going,” she said. R00023161487

Victorious Sens receive electric homecoming ‘This feels like the Stanley Cup for me:’ fan Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

You would have thought the Ottawa Senators were bringing home the Stanley Cup. An estimated 2,000 diehard Sens fans came wearing autographed jerseys and carrying flags attached to hockey sticks, foam fingers and homemade signs, surprising the players, coaches and management with a welcome home victory parade. Just hours after the Ottawa Senators won 3-1 against the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday, April 11, earning the club a spot in the Stanley Cup playoffs, throngs of wellwishers lined Comet Private outside the Esso Avitat at the Ottawa International Airport. “This feels like the Stanley Cup for me,” said South Keys resident Isaac Layton, who wore a jersey and proudly carried a Senators flag. “I’m so, so, so happy. I feel like we got the Stanley Cup. “Even if they fail the first round, I don’t care, as long as they made the playoffs,” he said. “Fourteen points down (and) in six weeks they made the playoffs? That’s crazy.” Layton sat glued to the TV screen during the game against the Flyers. With every goal, he felt less nervous, before finally breathing a sigh of relief that the team had made it to the playoffs. “We’re good, we’re good. We’re going to the airport,” he said gleefully. Paul Disley, owner of JPD

Aviation which operates the Esso Avitat, the team’s arrival point in Ottawa, said he hasn’t seen that many fans line the road outside his business since 2007, when the Senators last made the Stanley Cup final. “2007 was crazy,” he recalled. Disley knew the team’s homecoming on April 11 would attract fans. Around 5 p.m. less than half a dozen people wearing Sens jerseys waited in the cold wind for the team’s plane to touch down. Over the next hour, dozens swelled to thousands, Disley said. “I didn’t think it would be as big as this, but I knew there was going to be people here, win or lose, because (of) just how fantastic the team has been playing the last six weeks,” he said. First out of the hangar was Senators general manager Bryan Murray, followed by players who carefully navigated their cars and trucks through the cheering throngs of fans. Some players in the passenger seat filmed the procession on their cellphones, gave the thumbs up or held out their hands for high-fives. All wore big smiles. “The team this year – there’s a lot of young guys, right. So they’ve never experienced anything like this,” Disley said of the legion of Senators fans who welcomed the team home. “They’re not used to seeing that when they come in.” Orléans resident Hélène Humphrey and her two sons

joined good friends, Glebe residents and well-known philanthropists Barbara Crook and Dan Greenberg, along the route. Humphrey and her family watched Saturday’s game against Philadelphia with bated breath. “It was very, very exciting,” she said. “It was just one of those ‘can’t catch your breath’ moments. It was almost like being in the playoffs.” Her son, Kyle, who was born with spina bifida, didn’t want to miss the team’s arrival at the airport. Kyle’s motto is there’s no such thing as can’t, and held a sign echoing this. “He lives that and he always says that the Senators have saved his life so many times, kept him going, and kept him having a reason to continue,” Humphrey said. Kyle, who has had 94 surgeries, has been bed-ridden for the better part of three years, but was determined to go to the airport for the team’s arrival. In 2007, he was in a coma for months, and his mother said it’s because of the Senators that doctors saw signs of life in her son. “I used to put the earphones on his ears when the Sens were playing and the heart monitor – you could see it go up,” Humphrey said. During Kyle’s long recuperation period, he felt motivated and buoyed by his passion for the hometown team. “So they mean a lot to him and our family,” Humphrey said.

New funding expected for Ottawa River clean-up Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

The federal government will chip in to help cover the cost of underground downtown tunnels to hold sewage overflow. Local politicians made the announcement on April 7 at the Robert O. Pickard Environmental Centre. The two interconnected tunnels will run from LeBreton Flats to Stanley Park, and along Kent Street from Chamberlain Street to Wellington Street. The tunnels will store overflow sewage to prevent it from spilling into and contaminating the Ottawa River. Provincial and municipal governments had already committed funding to the Ottawa River Action Plan; the federal government will contribute $62.09 million to the $231.3 million project. There is an equal contribution from the provincial governments, leaving the city on the hook for over $100 million. The tunnel is one of many initiatives under the Ottawa

River Action Plan, all with the goal of cleaning up the river’s water. Other projects have included reduction of stormwater impacts and improving wastewater treatment. Ottawa-OrlĂŠans MP Royal Galipeau made the announcement about the tunnel’s funding, citing Petrie Island as one of the city’s beaches that could greatly improve from less-contaminated water. Locals will be better able to enjoy Petrie Island, the jewel of OrlĂŠans, to the fullest,â€? Galipeau said. It’s common for Petrie Island to be closed because of contamination after heavy rainfalls that have lead to sewage overflowing into the water. “The Ottawa River has had its difficulties as a result of sewage overflows and spillage into the river, there have been red flag warnings that have prevented swimmers from bathing at Petrie Island, there were a total of 24 days last summer,â€? said Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilevre. “We will have fewer of these closures; there will be less over-

David Chernushenko, left, Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre, Mayor Jim Watson and Ottawa-OrlÊans MP Royal Galipeau chat prior to the April 7 announcement of federal funding for the Ottawa River Action Plan. flow of sewage into the Ottawa River.� Politicians from all levels of government spoke at the announcement, which had nearly 40 minutes of speeches, much of them congratulatory to the other levels of government.

Marie-France Lalonde said much of Ottawa’s infrastructure was built in the post-war period, so modernizations and updates are a ‘major undertaking’. Mayor Jim Watson appeared, on crutches as he recovers from his winter snowmobile accident,

to speak and answer questions. He said previous efforts to clean up the river through the Ottawa River Action Plan have resulted in an 80 per cent decrease in raw sewage that goes into the Ottawa River; this phase of the plan should eliminate the

rest of the raw sewage from spilling over into the water, Watson said. He spoke about the impact to the city’s downtown core while the new tunnels are built. He said there will be some savings because some of the work can piggyback on the light rail tunnel digging. Schedules will be developed by the city, and there will be some traffic disruptions while the tunnels are being built. The work done in the immediate core and tourist areas will be finished by the first day of 2017, in time for the city’s celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday. The rest of the work will be completed by 2019, Watson said. Poilevre faced questions on whether the Ottawa River Action Plan in the city of Ottawa is enough without similar plans in towns and municipalities outside the city but along the river. Ottawa is the major population centre, so cleaning it up will ‘go a long way’ he said, adding they were happy to work with other municipalities in the region.

Ottawa police to guard sentries at National War Memorial DND to pay $425,000 for armed protection Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

The ceremonial guards who watch over the National War Memorial every summer have become the guarded. The Department of National Defence has announced it will pay Ottawa police $425,000 this summer to protect the sentries, less than a year after Cpl. Nathan Cirillo was murdered at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in October 2014. The National Sentry guards retook their positions in a ceremony on April 9, standing on either side of the monument. Armed police officers will protect the sentries every day until the season ends in early November. “After the terrorist attack of Oct. 22, we learned there are certain dangers to which our soldiers willingly subject themselves (to),� said Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre after the ceremony.

“We are going to do everything in our power to protect the men and women who stand in defence of our National War Monument.� Cirillo had been guarding the memorial when he was reportedly shot twice at point-blank range by Michael Zehaf Bibeau, who was later killed after storming Parliament Hill with a rifle. The attack shook the capital and provoked the new safety measures for the reserve soldiers who stand by the monument in a ceremonial role. Maj. Michel Lavigne, of the ceremonial guard, said he was confident in the safety of the sentries now guarding the memorial. “The Canadian Forces takes the security of soldiers very seriously,� he said. “In this particular case we have cooperation with Ottawa city police and its working very well and we’re very happy with it.�

In addition to armed police guards, stanchions have also been installed around the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to give sentries more room. “The stanchions are there in part to protect the soldiers,� Lavigne said. “It gives them a bit more room to manoeuvre. We have had some instances in the past when the public has gotten a bit too aggressive in trying to take pictures.� The Department of Veterans Affairs also marked the 98th anniversary of Vimy Ridge in a ceremony following the relaunch of the National Sentry.

Sentries stand guard at the National War Memorial. The ceremonial guards retook their positions at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in a ceremony on April 9. Armed Ottawa police officers will now guard the sentries after the death of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo in October of last year.

Catholic Family Services Ottawa celebrates 75 years Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

Catholic Family Services Ottawa is set to celebrate its 75th anniversary on April 22. The organization has helped countless families, offering services for victims of domestic abuse since it was founded in 1940. Back then, there were few places families could turn to receive financial aid and CFSO was one of them, said Franca DiDiomete, the organization’s executive director. As social safety net programs were created and grew, the organization evolved to provide other services that people were not getting from the government. “We went from being an organization that provided physical needs to one that provided counselling programs,� she said. The organization now includes a diverse number of programs in English and French that include play

therapy for kids, support services for men who have been sexually abused and a child witness support program. “We’ve become more specialized,� DiDiomete said. “That’s one of the changes that has happened over the years. We’ve added and lost programs. We’ve adapted to changing times. As something becomes an issue, we might add a new program.� The organization started with just three caseworkers, a supervisor, a director and support staff and a budget of $24,780, according to the organization’s first annual report from 1940. It has since become one of the region’s leading providers of counselling for abuse victims, a vital service, which for the most part, is not provided by government programs, DiDiomete said. “People think counselling services are covered by OHIP, but for the most part they aren’t,� she said. “For low income clients who can’t afford to pay a

Catholic Family Services Ottawa started in 1940 with only three case workers. The organization, which offers counselling for abuse victims, is set to celebrate its 75th anniversary on April 22. psychologist, free family services are the only option for them.� The organization served 2,086 people last year, including 166 children and adolescents. DiDiomete has seen CFSO grow and change, having spent 33 years with the organization. She was first hired as a counsellor in 1982 until she was moved into a supervisory role and eventually became the executive director. The celebration on April 22 will be at the organization’s building at 310 Olmstead St. CFSO will run tours of the facility and conduct presentations from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. to observe the organization’s birthday.

TOWN HALL MEETING, Monday April 20, 7pm, Kanata Senior’s Centre, 2500 Campeau will deal with new and ongoing developments in the community as well as hearing from residents on any issues they may have.

Check my website for the detailed agenda. GO SENS GO Congratulations to the Ottawa Senators on their fantastic run to make the playoffs. As a part-season ticket holder I was at their last home game and it was fantastic. The Sens contribute a lot to the community and with their recent victories I want to see them go all the way to the Stanley Cup final. I’ll be there cheering them on! CLEANING THE CAPITAL is your opportunity to improve our community by picking up litter, removing graffiti or taking out noxious weeds. Register on ottawa.ca and you’ll be provided with cleanup supplies and be eligible for prizes. There are some areas in need of a major cleanup, contact my office for details so that you can help contribute to keeping Kanata North beautiful. COMMUNITY INFORMATION Coyotes have been spotted on several streets in Kanata Lakes. They normally avoid people but I suggest that you keep small dogs and cats with you when they are outdoors. They are hungry after a difficult winter and with some tree removal underway they may be moving around. More information is available on my website. Kanata Race Day is June 14th. Go to www.kanataraceday.ca for details and to register. Proceeds pay for enhancements and special programs at the Richcraft Recreation Complex Kanata.

Minto, as part of its subdivision requirements, will be constructing a sidewalk along Flamborough on the west side from the northern dead end to connect to the existing sidewalk in the south. TREE REMOVAL is not only happening on development lands but also in our parks. City Forestry have marked 112 dead and dying ash and elm trees in Ed Hollyer Park and removal is now underway. I’ve asked for a replacement plan and I will make it public as soon as it is available. This is a beautiful park and the removal of the trees will make a huge impact, but the City is committed to a major tree planting program to replace those removed. Other parks are being evaluated so expect more removals. On a more positive note replacement trees on 27 properties and 10 n two parks are scheduled for this spring DID YOU KNOW? That Kanata was once to have a Hoovercraft plant? What happened to their building is my next story. Send your’s to me as part of Kanata’s human story. COMING EVENTS April 16, Job Fair at Brookstreet.

Kayla MacMillan, second Lindsay Dubue and third Sarah Daviau went undefeated with a 7-0 record at the under-18 Optimist International Championship in Edmonton, Alta. on April 5 after going head-to-head with teams from across Canada, the United States and Japan. “There were four games we played where Kayla didn’t have to throw her last rock,” said their West Carleton coach Jill Rivington. “The closest game we had was against (the) Quebec (team) and we went into an extra end. To be 7-0 is pretty good.” This is the team’s second year playing together. Last year, they won the Ontario Curling Association provincial championships, giving them entry into the Ontario Winter Games. The girls were aiming for a first-place finish in order to compete at the Canada Winter Games, but their second-place win gave them the berth to compete internationally in Edmonton. “This year we worked even harder to get even better,” said Richardson, 16. “It really paid off when we got to Edmonton. We won our first game … and kept it going throughout the tournament. It was a great experience.” The girls hail from various communities – Richardson from Ottawa east, Daviau and Dubue from Bar-

rhaven, and MacMillan all from Belleville – and train vigorously at the Huntley Curling Club and their local rinks. “This is a lot of practice, a lot of everything put together,” said Rivington. “Every time that we’ve had a little learning lesson along the way, we’ve identified where our weaknesses were and how we were going to get better. “It’s taken hours. These kids, we have two practices a week as a team practice. Individually they practice a couple times a week,” she added. And when the team is heading into a competition, they can often be found on the ice six to seven days a week. It helps that they’ve all meshed together really well, said Richardson. “I love how we’re all really good friends; they’re three of the best friends I’ve ever had. When we’re together it’s always a fun time,” she said. “We’re all so dedicated and driven.” Now that the season is finished, the team will be readying throughout the spring and summer months to move up to the junior level. “We’re going to revisit our goals and make sure they’re the same, work in the off-season so we’ll be able to achieve them,” Richardson said.

‘Young and hungry’ to serve as Sens playoff rally cry: Senators president Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Despite a false start to the opening of the Sens Mile on Elgin Street in downtown Ottawa, fans didn’t have to wait long for the signs to go up and stay up. “All’s well that ends well,” Mayor Jim Watson said at the corner of Elgin and Lisgar streets on Sunday, April 12. Just two months ago, a lot of people had written off the Ottawa Senators as playoff contenders, “but the true fans believed in their team, their captain and their new coach and their president of the whole organization, and they have come through,” Watson said, before unveiling the new signs the day after the Sens clinched a spot in the Stanley Cup playoffs with a 3-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers. Watson singled out goaltender Andrew Hammond for

doing “a remarkable job, a history-setting performance,” and said while anything can happen in the playoffs, he hopes the team can build on its 3-1 regular season record versus the Montreal Canadiens. The two rival teams were set to face off on Wednesday, April 15 in Montreal in the first round of the playoffs. Flanked by several councillors and Senators president Cyril Leeder, Watson unveiled a new heritage design for the Sens Mile signs, which can now be seen on posts on Elgin along with signs in the original design. “This is a tradition that started a couple of years ago,” Watson said. Calling the past two months “magical,” Leeder told the large crowd of fans and political representatives outside the old city hall that “the good news is the fun is just getting started right now.”

Mayor Jim Watson, centre, is joined by several city councillors and Senators president Cyril Leeder, right, during the opening of Sens Mile on Elgin Street on Sunday, April 12 after the team secured a berth in the NHL Stanley Cup playoff. This marks the 15th time in the last 18 years that the team has made it to the Stanley Cup playoffs, and Leeder said this time around the team’s rallying cry is “young and hungry. And we’re coming in hot.” “We’re looking forward to getting the city excited again, and it starts right here on the

Sens Mile down here on Elgin Street,” the club president said. “It’s felt like we’ve been in the playoffs for two months. It feels like we’re already in the conference final from (the) excitement and a community behind us right now.” The playoffs will not only inject excitement into Ottawa, but are also expected to boost local businesses. “We had a rough winter,” Watson said. “It was very, very cold, and I think once you start to see Sens Mile signs

go up later today and you start to see the patios opening and big screen TVs out on Elgin Street, it’s going to be great.” Watson has been seeking suggestions from residents on what Ottawa should bet with Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre on the outcome of this playoff round. “Now to put a little historical perspective in this, the last time we played the Canadiens in the playoffs, the Senators won, which was great,” Watson said, prompting cheers from the

crowd. “We had a bet at the time with (former Montreal) mayor (Michael) Applebaum and he wore a Sens jersey because they lost. “And he was supposed to send me Montreal smoked meat the next day, but unfortunately he was arrested,” Watson said. “I hope that Mayor Coderre is not arrested and he lives up to his bet and sends the smoked meat to all of us here in Ottawa.” See COUN., page 27

Coun. Rick Chiarelli turns to antidote to lift curse The two mayors agreed Monday, April 13 on the terms of the bet: • The losing city’s mayor will wear the winning team’s jersey to a council meeting • The losing city’s mayor will fly the winning team’s flag at city hall for one week • If the Sens win, Montreal’s mayor will send Montreal smoked meat to Watson • If the Habs win, Watson will send BeaverTails to Mayor Coderre

The day after the Sens lost their third consecutive game last month, College Ward Coun. Rick Chiarelli literally knocked on wood. He hoped to reverse the curse many fans think he brought on

“Everywhere I went people wanted selfies with me,” he said. An online petition was even launched in a bid to have him removed from city council. Amid the uproar, the Ottawa Sun helped him conduct some research on antidotes for curses. Chiarelli said he followed a study conducted by the University of Chicago, knocked on wood, and the team began chalking up the wins again. “If the curse is real, then the antidote has to be real, too,” he said. “They come from the same science.” Though the jinx seems to have been removed, Chiarelli is remaining very mindful when it comes to cheering for the home team during this playoff run. “I even got a new Sens jersey, but I was told not to wear it in case it created some other kind of energy.”

Council unanimously agreed on March 25. “Obviously, if we’d waited one more day, we wouldn’t have made the playoffs,” Chiarelli said during the official opening of the Sens Mile. The same day council voted, the club president asked the city to hold off on launching Sens Mile. “We think it was the right decision,” Leeder said. “We didn’t want to be jumping the gun and really appear to be getting ahead of ourselves, and put the right message out to our competitors who we’ve still had to win some games against and also to our own club and our own fans.” Chiarelli and his losingstreak curse were the talk of the town.

New daycare plan to keep not-forprofits open, simplify system Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Families will have more flexibility in choosing their daycare service going forward if a new city plan is approved. Social services manager Aaron Burry unveiled a five-year transition plan on April 9 that will provide per-space base funding for licensed daycares in the city while attaching subsidies to families rather than agencies. “We’re the last major municipality that still has dollars attached to agencies, rather than approving families and simply paying for their care,” Burry said. That should change by 2017, as the city transitions to meet the province’s new child care guidelines by 2020. Right now, the city’s 6,400 subsidized spots are stationed at agencies, which get an annual budget they can draw against if they accept subsidized kids. “This has resulted in a very inefficient system in terms of underutilization of

the system and dollars leftover,” Burry said. With a 3,200-person wait list, that’s a big deal, he added. It also leaves a huge number of families stuck at an inconvenient daycare so they can keep their subsidy while they wait for a transfer. Under the new system, the city would simply approve a family and pay their child’s full fee wherever they attend a licensed day care, Burry said. The plan is all about stability – for parents as well as the agencies. As daycares have shouldered rising costs and declining enrolment (heightened by the full-day kindergarten program pulling four- and five-year-olds into the school system), Burry said the city will move to a per-space funding model, rather than the hodge-podge of government funding that exists today. Right now an agency could get funding for anywhere between two and 63 per cent of its staff costs, while other agencies get little to no direct government

funding at all. Between the full-day kindergarten system and the fact that parents’ wallets are tapped out, daycares have been shutting their doors across the city. Just this February, the St. Elias centre in Mooney’s Bay shut down permanently, leaving parents of 46 kids scrambling to find other arrangements. In a letter to parents on Jan. 20, the St. Elias board said the daycare had suffered a 30 per cent decline in enrolment because of the full implementation of junior kindergarten last September. Burry said the city’s new plan will curb future closures because agencies will be able to rely on per-space funding every year. Ottawa will kick in $11.5 million from its child care reserve over the next five years to provide transitional funding for agencies coping with financial pressures, while the province’s $15 million will be rolled into one general operating grant administered by the city. The province has also earmarked $8.5 million in new money to fund a $1/ hour wage increase for the lowest-paid daycare workers this year.

Massive Glebe fire deemed arson steph.willems@metroland.com

After examining the wreckage left behind from the massive April 9 fire in the Glebe, the police arson unit has determined the blaze was deliberately set. The arson unit, which was working with investigators from Ottawa fire and the Ontario Fire Marshall, announced their findings on April 12. A criminal investigation is now underway. The late night fire, which consumed six businesses in a one-storey retail strip at Bank Street and Fifth Avenue, was preceded by a loud and powerful explosion that injured one passer-by. Despite a quick response from firefighters, the damage and extent of the fire kept crews back, forcing them to attack the blaze from the perimeter and above until the early hours of April 10. The Beaver’s Mug Cafe, Silver Scissors Hair, Encino Taco Shop, a Pizza Pizza, a Mac’s convenience store, and a Brown’s Cleaners were destroyed in the fire. Police haven’t said what exactly caused the explosion, though the blast was quickly confirmed in the wake of the fire. On April 10, Ottawa fire Capt. Bob Rainboth said an explosion preceded the blaze. “One member of the public received minor lacerations from the glass being shot out, and there was one minor injury to an officer who was treated at the

scene,” he said. Shortly after the blast, the storefront glass and window frames of the hair salon and coffee shop could be seen lying on the sidewalk, with other components bent outwards. Chairs could also be seen lying on the street outside the business. Though Bank Street was eventually reopened following the fire, it is still reduced by one lane in front of the building. The news that arson was behind the fire has angered many, including Andrew Peck, executive director of the Glebe Business Improvement Area. “The idea someone would deliberately destroy the livelihoods of hard working people who are committed to serving our community and city, and to cause dozens of people to lose their jobs is just very sad,” said Peck. “We want to make sure we’re going to do everything we can to support our members and local businesses.” Though the remains of the building will have to be torn down, there is already talk of rebuilding. The desire to rise from the ashes and reclaim the gap in storefront retail is encouraging for Peck. “Business owners are resilient types. They’re still taking stock in what’s next. Some business owners are already considering other locations already.” With files from Alex

Record numbers expected to geek out at Ottawa Comiccon Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The stars are aligning for Ottawa geeks. Ottawa Comiccon organizers have been name dropping for months now, announcing new celebrity guests scheduled to attend the three-day convention at the EY Centre May 8 to 10. Record numbers of fans are expected to turn out to the fourth edition of the convention for British actress Billie Piper, who played the companion to the Doctor in the relaunch of the U.K. sci-fi television series Doctor Who. “Not everybody loves Doctor Who, and she is known for other things, but the thing by far ... she was the biggest announcement we’ve ever had – ever,� said Cliff Caporale, Ottawa Comiccon program director. “ “It’s a different mentality, a different crowd,� he said of Fillion, a Canadian actor who currently stars on TV in Castle and who came to Comiccon in 2013. “A lot of people just want to see him, want to meet him, and are happy with the Q and A.� Doctor Who fans, on the other hand, “just want everything to do with that world,� Caporale said, whether it’s having their photos taken with stars of the show or getting their autographs.

cliff Caporale/Submitted

Ottawa Comiccon program director Cliff Caporale is ‘attacked’ by Robert Englund, left, best known for his role as Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare on Elm Street movies, during the 2014 Ottawa Comiccon in a coveted photo op with The Evil Dead actor Bruce Campbell, middle, while Ottawa Comiccon programming co-ordinator Jean-Marc Pellerin is ‘choked’ by Kane Hodder, a.k.a. Jason from the Friday the 13th movies. The Ottawa Comiccon returns to the EY Centre May 8 to 10. “We’re going to have a situation with her Q and A where we may have to turn people away once we reach a maximum.� Piper’s question-and-answer session, the timing of which has not yet been announced, will have seating for about 2,000 people. But that may quickly max out; reason why organizers will be asking fire officials if more people can be permitted inside. American actor, blogger and

Tabletop gaming show creator Wil Wheaton is set to return again this year after a one-year absence, and Caporale said he won’t be surprised if the star attracts huge crowds again in May “because he’s such an entertaining speaker.� Ottawa Comiccon organizers are big Wheaton fans. “We grew up with him,� Caporale said of the actor who starred as a kid in Stand By Me, before going on to play

Wesley Crusher in Star Trek: The Next Generation. He now plays himself in a recurring TV role on The Big Bang Theory. “He’s an ambassador of geekdom, if you will. I wouldn’t call him King of the Nerds – he doesn’t want us to call him that, but he is a voice of millions of people that are in the same situation who felt ostracized by society and ... here he is speaking about the kind of stuff we all went through or younger audiences are still going through, and saying, ‘It’s OK.’� With geeks and everything they love moving into the mainstream – think comic book characters coming to life on the big screen – events like the Ottawa Comiccon are booming. In 2012, its inaugural year, organizers welcomed 20,000 people, exceeding initial hopes for 6,000 to 9,000 visitors. The convention grew to 30,000 in 2013, and last year 38,000 attendees flooded the EY Centre, which created traffic and parking problems. “We basically shut down the city on Saturday,� said Caporale. Early next month, more than 42,000 people are expected to come and meet the stars, comic book artists and browse hundreds of vendor exhibits, take in question-and-answer sessions and at-

tend costume-building workshops. Event organizers are currently working with the city, OC Transpo, the EY Centre and Ottawa police to develop a strategy. Shuttle bus service is being considered, and an announcement is expected at the end of April or beginning of May. STAR POWER

In addition to Piper and Wheaton, a host of other big-name stars will soon be arriving in Ottawa for the convention: Firefly TV star Sean Maher, Walter Koenig, best known as Star Trek’s Mr. Chekov, Nichelle Nichols, who starred as Lt. Uhura in the original Star Trek TV series, and from Star Trek: The Next Generation, Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis will be in attendance. Canadian actor Richard Dean Anderson of MacGyver and Stargate SG-1 fame will be on hand to sign autographs, as will Billy Boyd from Lord of the Rings, Jason Mewes and Brian O’Halloran, both from Clerks. Organizers have also just announced there will be a Star Trek special ticketed event on May 9 with Nichols and Koenig. For tickets and a complete schedule, visit ottawacomiccon.com.

Life insurance tips for parents Lifestyle - As a parent, you never stop worrying about your kids. Are they playing safely on the monkey bars? Will they get good grades? According to a poll conducted by TD Insurance in late fall, parents in Canada admit they lay awake at night worrying about everything from their children’s health (79%) and education (76%) to if they will make friends (68%) or fall in love when they grow up (59%).

“Worrying is an aspect of parenting that comes with the territory. If you have kids you’re constantly thinking about how you can protect them,” says Dave Minor, a vice president with TD Insurance. “One way to help minimize the ‘what ifs’ and ensure you have financial security for your family if the unexpected happens, is by making sure you have the right amount and type of life insurance.”

When considering life insurance, Minor suggests parents ask themselves the following questions: • How much coverage should you get? Insurance needs can change depending on the size of your family, your household income, the lifestyle you would like your children to continue to enjoy, and more. Coverage can be used to pay off your debt so your family will be debt free should some-

thing happen to you, it can replace lost income, or it can provide funds to pay for your children’s education. Once you have a good sense of your family’s future needs, you can determine the type of coverage that’s best for you. • How much can you afford? It’s important to be realistic about your life insurance budget based on your current income – make sure that the premium is affordable, so you can maintain the policy over the long term. One of the advantages of buying it earlier in life is that the premiums are more affordable the younger you are. • Do you fully understand what

you’re covered for? Take the time to speak to your insurance provider and educate yourself on the terms of your policy, such as details on premiums, benefits, exclusions and limitations and other features. Term life insurance offers straightforward coverage with affordable premiums. This type of protection can be great for young families who want to make sure their loved ones are covered financially in the event something unexpected happens, to cover expenses like mortgage payments or child care costs.

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

I am buying a house. The house is about 27 years old. Does the seller have any obligation to disclose any problems with the house? In general, there are limited obligations for the seller to disclose any problems with the property to interested buyers. Further, the sellers are not required to provide any warranties as to the condition of the property they are selling. Let the Buyer Beware. The law in Ontario is pretty clear “let the buyer beware”. Unless there is a fraud, misrepresentation or mistake made by the seller, the buyer takes the existing property as he finds it. The general rule is that there is no obligation to disclose patent or visible defects. Exception to this rule are serious hidden defects or serious concealed defects. Hidden defects are those that are not discoverable by a reasonable inspection. A proper home inspection is therefore crucial for anyone buying a resale home. Further, such defects have to be serious enough to either affect the integrity of the house, render the house unfit for human habitation or involve deliberate concealment.

Nicaraguan school built in memory of Bridlewood resident Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

When the Bell family from Bridlewood remember daughter and sister Tracy Lee Nolan, they know now more than ever that her memory means more than the pain felt for a loved one who died too early in life. That’s because her memory is continuing to do the work she did in life: support children in need of help. On March 20, Tracy’s Hope Classroom opened as the Thomas Borge school in a small, poor community in Nicaragua, where 43 children can now attend school regularly, safe from the heat and rain that often kept them away.

“I think (Tracy) would be incredibly proud,” said Nolan’s sister, Dina Bell-Laroche. IN TRACY’S NAME

It’s been 14 years since Nolan died of cancer at age 29, but the distance between the time of her death and the present hasn’t meant an end to her family’s grieving, said Bell-Laroche. However, in 2013, BellLaroche found a way to honour her sister that culminated in the construction of Tracy’s Hope Classroom. A soccer coach who believes in teaching more than sports, Bell-Laroche brought a group of soccer players to the Tipitapa region of Nica-

ragua to help build a school through charity SchoolBOX. The trip, which was unrelated to Nolan at the time, was so powerful for Bell-Laroche that she felt doing more work with SchoolBOX would be a great way to honour her sister. After getting her parents on board, the family launched a campaign, and in a few months managed to raise $3,000 through donations, sales of texting mittens spearheaded by former Earl of March Secondary School teacher Judy O’Riordan, and insurance money for Nolan that hadn’t yet been given to the family. The money paid for a library at the school that BellLaroche and her soccer players had helped to construct. But the Bell family wasn’t ready to stop there. “We realized that people were so taken by the concept and the idea that we thought, ‘Well maybe we can actually build a school,’” said BellLaroche. The family continued to receive donations from people across Canada, and held fundraising events including a Fun Run and a barn party. Along with continued support from the texting mitten endeavour, more than $20,000 was raised in Nolan’s name.

Members of a small community in the Tipitapa region of Nicaragua celebrate the opening of Tracy’s Hope Classroom and the Thomas Borge school, built through funds raised in memory of Bridlewood resident Tracy Lee Nolan, on March 20. “We had enough money to build the school, (purchase) the supplies and also have two portable outhouses,” said Bell-Laroche. SEEING THE IMPACT

On the 14th anniversary of Nolan’s death, Bell-Laroche and her husband travelled to Nicaragua to meet the community where the school would be built.

Locations for schools are carefully chosen, said BellLaroche, who became a board member with SchoolBOX in January. “We only build in communities that are already hosting some form of educational session to the kids,” she said. “Typically kids are learning under a tree or a makeshift shelter,” showing the community is committed to giving their kids an education. She

also witnessed this in other ways. “In the rainy season, you can’t get in there with a car because you would just get stuck, so people are coming from up to an hour by horseback and on makeshift bicycle carriers, bringing their kids to school. It’s pretty powerful to witness that kind of commitment,” she said. See PROJECT, page 34

But for SchoolBOX to go ahead, the province also has to be supplying the teacher, said Bell-Laroche, showing commitment at the political level. Those local and provincial partners were found once again in the Tipitapa region, and, with a donation of land by the kindergarten teacher’s father, construction began in early 2015, and the school was officially opened on March 20. The school is a great memorial to Nolan, who had always been concerned with helping children, said Bell-Laroche. Nolan worked at the William E. Hay centre in Ottawa, a youth detention centre, said Bell-Laroche. “Her love of kids, especially the forgotten ones as we would often call them, was really important to her, so now because of my sister, there are kids, the forgotten ones really, who have an opportunity to make a better life for themselves through her,� said Bell-Laroche.

GRIEVING DIFFERENTLY

The whole process has also been an important one for the family, said Bell-Laroche. “It’s really brought a level of reconciliation and meaning to Tracy not being here, and it’s really

ď€ƒď€ˆď€ˆď€‹ď€ˆď€ˆ ď€ƒď€?ď€?ď€‹ď€ˆď€Žď€’

allowed for a whole bunch of healing to occur,� she said. “One of the most inevitable things in life is that you are born, you live and then you die, and yet typically we don’t have a conversation with people about, ‘What does a meaningful life look like for me?’ and, ‘How do I want to be remembered after my time on this earth has past?’ “And so, for us as a family, honouring Tracy this way has brought the conversation, the stuff that we don’t want to speak about, to the forefront in a way that is actually beautiful, inspirational and deeply honouring of a beautiful woman. It still saddens us of course, but the sadness is tempered now with the hope and the smiles that we witnessed on the faces of these beautiful children.� It’s an experience Bell-Laroche plans to write a book about, in an effort to show others another way to deal with loss. “(Tracy) wasn’t a politician or a big figurehead or something. She was just an average person with a beautiful heart who died too soon, so my hope is that with the writing of this book, it kind of brings to the forefront the importance of grieving maybe a little bit different than we tend to grieve here in North America.� With files from Jessica Cunha

The Royal launches $1M mental health research prize Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

The Royal is hoping a donation of $1 million will spur advancements in mental health care by the country’s top young researchers. That’s the aim of a new mental health research prize announced on April 9 - a partnership between the leading mental health centre and the Mach-Gaensslen Foundation of Canada, a philanthropic organization devoted to cardiology, oncology and psychiatry. Open to early-career Canadian clinical researchers, the prize will see annual gifts of $100,000 awarded to promising psychiatric researchers, with winners selected by a jury of medical professionals. Calling mental illness “a huge burden on our society,” George Webber, president and CEO of the Royal, said the only way to reduce the harmful impact is to broaden knowledge of the brain and new forms of care. “Our goal is to celebrate the

success of outstanding young researchers, and encourage them to continue the pursuit of knowledge and innovation,” said Webber. “These are the things that will lead to breakthroughs in mental health care.” The Mach-Gaensslen Foundation had previously gifted $1 million to the Royal last October in order to establish the DIFD Mach-Gaensslen Chair in Suicide Prevention Research. The foundation has donated more than $3 million to medical research initiatives since 2005. Dr. Chris Carruthers, chairman of the Mach-Gaensslen Foundation, called psychiatry and mental health an area of study in serious need of resources. “Historically, society has provided more financial support to oncology – cancer – and cardiology – heart and stroke – than to mental health,” said Carruthers, adding that the idea for the prize was inspired by a talk given by Gov. Gen David Johnson in 2013.

“Our board spent a good amount of time collectively talking about his comments. We recognize the importance of mental health and the need to support efforts to improve mental health. We recognize the important of research. We decided that a prize in mental health could make a significant difference.” The foundation teamed up with the Royal for the prize due to its high-profile status in the country’s mental health field. Winners will be announced in October, beginning this year. “We expect individuals to compete for this, as with any other major event,” said Dr. Zul Merali, president and CEO of the Royal’s Institute of Mental Health Research. “For the prize, we have in place a panel of experts. These are internationally recognized experts in the field, and are already in place, waiting for the applications to come in … This panel of judges will select the best one for this year, then do the same thing for 10 years.”

Ottawa businessman leads mountain adventure up Everest Group raises more than $100,000 for charities Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

No mountain is high enough for Shawn Dawson. After becoming the eighth person in the world to climb the tallest summits on seven continents in two years, the Ottawa businessman is set to lead a group of 21 people up to the base of Mount Everest in his latest fundraising effort. Dawson founded the Dream Mountains Foundation in 2011 to raise money for seven charities while he was trekking up the mountains. “When I started to take on the challenge I decided, because of the extreme risk involved, I wanted to make it about something greater than myself. So I decided to create the foundation,” he said. Dawson raised more than $143,000 from 2009-11, as part of his tallest summits challenge. During those climbs, he almost died, falling through an ice bridge on Denali in Alaska, saw a dead body for the first time on Acon-

Dawson started asking himself why he was taking on these dangerous adventures. “If you don’t understand why you’re

there, you’re not going to have the focus and drive to make it,” he said. “I believe in challenging myself as a human being and understanding what I’m capable of doing and finding out what my limits are... It’s all about pushing myself and understanding my limits.”

He figured the next logical step for him was to share the experience with others. “I wanted to try to keep raising money and keep it going,” he said. This year’s Mount Everest expedition, which will climb 17,500 feet to the base of the mountain, will be Daw-

son’s fifth, as the foundation has done one a year since he first finished the seven summit circuit. Dawson, who owns Fatboy’s Southern Smokehouse in the ByWard Market, has made his living in a number of restaurant and real estate ventures. His foundation has raised more than $600,000 for charities he has a personal connection to, including Habitat for Humanity, the Ottawa Senators Foundation, and Dreams Take Flight. This year’s team is leaving Ottawa on April 23 and has already garnered more than its goal of $100,000 for the seven charities. Dawson said he expects they’ll hit $125,000 by the time they leave. Dawson’s expedition groups have gone through team building exercises and a gruelling physical training schedule to get ready for their expedition. This year’s group climbs 33 flights of stairs and goes back down 10 times, two days a week. Participants have had to pay for their own travel costs for the adventure, but Dawson assured it will be well worth it. “What makes a life time adventure isn’t just the destination; it’s the journey,” he said.

Climate change debate brings all government levels together Conservative voice missing

which led to some political back-patting between the five like-minded representatives. LOCAL IDEAS

Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

A packed panel discussion at a church on McArthur Avenue perhaps speaks volumes to the growing concern around climate change policies in Canada, but the five participating politicians were hardly able to scratch the surface of the contentious topic during a two-hour discussion. Ecology Ottawa hosted the event at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship church in Overbrook on April 9 in an effort to get all levels of government representing the urban east end to discuss what elected representatives can and should do to mitigate climate change. East-end city councillors Tim Tierney, Mathieu Fleury and Tobi Nussbaum joined Liberal Ottawa-Vanier MPP Madeleine Meilleur and her federal counterpart, MP Mauril Bélanger at the table. Since no one from the federal Conservative party – considered by critics to be the least environmentally-friendly federal party – currently represents the area, that voice was missing from the debate,

But audience members were able to tighten the screws a bit during a question and answer period, which ranged from the inefficiencies of Canada Post’s community mailbox program to the dangers of the Energy East pipeline planned to cross the Rideau River. At the city level, Fleury, Nussbaum and Tierney all advocated for more walkable neighbourhoods with improved cycling and transit options. Other city priorities included following through with planting one million trees in the wake of emerald ash borer devastation across the city, promoting energy efficiency and, perhaps most importantly, funding stage two of the city’s light rail transit plan that would bring electric trains to some of Ottawa’s suburbs. But the discussion was perhaps most beneficial for Bélanger, who faces a federal election campaign later this year. He said his Liberal party will introduce a national carbon pricing plan if they form the next government –setting national targets and then al-

lowing the provinces to decide how to meet them in their own way. “You’d have the benefit of different strategies for reducing carbon use and for carbon pricing, and each province could learn from each other,” Bélanger said. Bélanger pledged to “restore environmental laws that have been downgraded” under the Harper government’s watch, to end fossil fuel subsidies and to shift investment incentives to renewable energy technology and away from petroleum products. His comments, for the most part, were met with applause and the occasional obscenity cast against Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Harper’s position on transporting oil by rail and pipeline, however, was a touchier subject. Bélanger touted making rail safer for oil transportation so controversial pipelines can be avoided. But one audience member said that strategy is counterintuitive from a climate change perspective. “When you talk about the different modes of transportation, you distract from the fact that they’re all transporting something that is deadly for the environment,” the audience member said.

Police comb Hunt Club Road for suspected murder weapon

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

R0013229760

Ottawa police officers spent the better part of Monday searching along Hunt Club Road for a suspected murder weapon – a firearm that investigators believe was thrown from a Dodge Charger allegedly seen fleeing a murder scene in the Hunt Club Park community in early February. Several officers with the emergency services unit looked for evidence along the east side of Hunt Club Road between Hawthorne Road and Highway 417. “It is believed that the evidence may have been thrown from the black Dodge Charger as it fled the scene,” police said in a statement released the day of the search. Yusuf Ibrahim, 27, who police say was a known gang member and involved with the Ottawa police in relation to gang activity, was fatally shot inside a home at 181 Forestglade Cres. the morning of Feb. 6. “The incident happened at roughly 9:30 on a Friday morning in a very populated area. I’m sure several people would have heard gunshots or seen the car speeding away,” said Det. Chris Benson, a major crime investigator who is leading the case. “We don’t know if there was more than one gun at the scene, but multiple shots were fired, and (there

identified by major crime investigators and “very little” information has come in from the public about the vehicle, said Benson. Police were able to locate the Charger, which was a rental. “Earlier video of the vehicle was released showing three individuals driving at a high rate of speed in a Dodge Charger. These three are believed to be responsible for Ibrahim’s death,” police said at the time, adding that the vehicle was caught on camera at the intersection of Hunt Club Road and Hawthorne Avenue. It had been travelling eastbound on Hunt Club Road towards Highway 417, roughly the same area where police were looking for a firearm. Investigators also want to speak to anyone who saw Ibrahim on the evening of Feb 5, 2015. “He was seen at a ByWard Market bar that night,” police said. In late March, police identified three “important” male witnesses, considered to be persons of interest, who were seen using taxi cabs to and from the Forestglade residence the morning of the killing. “We’ve identified them, yes,” said Benson. “We’ve made attempts to interview them, but they’re not being co-operative.” The three are not considered to be the occupants of the Dodge Charger. Anyone with information on the homicide investigation is asked to call the major crime unit at 613236-1222, ext. 5493, or call in anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477.

was) at least one shooter for sure,” he said. Police want to talk to anyone who may have been in the vicinity of Forestglade Crescent at the time of the shooting “or seen who might have been in that vehicle when it fled, or either parked outside or on the street,” said Benson. In the aftermath of the killing, officers canvassed the area. But those they talked to said they hadn’t seen or heard anything, “which we find to be strange being the hour of the day that it happened and gunshots being fired at 9:30 on a Friday morning,” said Benson. “We believe they still would have heard the gunshots being fired anyway even if they’re inside.” Benson acknowledged that some potential witnesses to the crime may be reticent to come forward given the knowledge that Ibrahim was known to police and considered a gang member. “I think that’s always the case, but these people are always afraid to come forward, saying it’s gang related, but they’re always the first to criticize police for not doing anything against the gangs,” Benson said, adding that it is very frustrating. “So it’s sort of hand in hand. Without them co-operating with us there’s not much we can do. We get handcuffed – they’re holding back on information.” Late last month, police released new images of a black Dodge Charger believed to be connected to the homicide, in hopes anyone in the vicinity of Hunt Club Road and Blohm Drive on the morning of the shooting saw the vehicle with three people inside. Those suspects have not yet been

Lightening the load Riverside South resident Rey Rheault, left, helps unload a large television from his car with the help of volunteer Graham Elsdon during a free electronics recycling fundraiser at St. Mark Catholic High School in Manotick on Saturday, April 11. People came from as far away as Kanata to drop off their old electronics, some of which had never been used and were still in their original packaging. Elsdon said the strangest thing dropped off was a crockpot with food still in it.

Comedy roadshow will bring DiGiovanni and other sought after comedians to Ottawa Megan DeLaire

W

Debra DiGiovanni is no stranger to the Ottawa stand-up comedy scene. The Canadian comic performed regularly at Absolute Comedy Ottawa earlier in her career.

Planes, vans and comedy tours: Q & A with a comic

'(!, - & " ! $!$ $& $!! $)' -$$ / $)

&$+ # '' &( $& '(!, $$%' "

"!!

Ottawa comedy fans seeking a dose of sidesplitting humour should look to Centrepointe Theatre on April 26 for the city’s fifth edition of the Just for Laughs Roadshow. Canadian comic and television personality Debra DiGiovanni will host a night of top standup comedy acts, warming the crowd up for Last Comic Standing winner Alonzo Bodden, Canadian Comedy Award winner Mark Forward, and British comic Gina Yashere. The roadshow will return to Ottawa in its twelfth year of touring after a sold-out show at Centrepointe last April featuring comics Mike MacDonald, Robert Kelly, Cristela Alonzo, and Arthur Simeo. The stop in Ottawa this year will be one of 12 across the province. DiGiovanni is a Tillsonburg, Ont., native who now lives and works in Los Angeles, but has returned to Ontario to host the roadshow. She’s a panelist on the Comedy Network’s Match Game and

has appeared on CBC’s The Debaters. The boisterous comedian was also a frequent contributor to MuchMusic’s Video on Trial, a finalist on NBC‘s Last Comic Standing and has two Comedy Now! specials as well as an American special, Single Awkward Female, on Showcase. She’s no stranger to accolades either. According to DiGiovanni’s website, she’s a three-time recipient of the Canadian Comedy Award for best female comic, and received a Gemini award for the besttelevised comedy performance of 2009. DiGiovanni, along with Bodden, Forward and Yashere will roll into Ottawa for a night of humour on April 26, but in the mean time, the sought-after comic has shared some of her wit and wisdom in an interview with Metroland Media. Q: How do you feel about touring Ontario in a van for 12 days? A: We drive all together in the van, so it’s quite nice. It’s literally a road trip, like, they are not kidding. The driving, you know, it feels very like authentic comedy. When you think of us, really, it’s what you’re used to, you know- a bunch of comics driving around in a van. It’s kind of back to basics. Touring is always wonderful because we wanna be on stage at all times. You know like when you’re an athlete that’s really warmed up and wellstretched and ready? That’s what a tour makes you feel like. You’re just so in it, because you’re doing comedy every single night. See COMEDIAN, page 61

Mother’s forgetfulness has entire family on hunt

I

could hear Mother rummaging around in the kitchen long before I came down for breakfast. It didn’t sound like her usual early morning bustle. There were sounds of cupboard drawers opening and closing, dishes scraping on shelves, and I could have sworn I heard the old creton couch being pulled out from the wall. No, this wasn’t the usual sounds of an early morning on the farm. When I came into the kitchen, Mother was just about as disheveled as I had ever seen her. She was halfway into the baking cupboard, and some flour had fallen out of the big sifter onto her hair. She was beet red in the face and wore a look of frustration and defeat. “I could have sworn I put those pictures right there,” and she brought the flat of her hand down hard on the porcelain bake surface of the cupboard with a bang. “Someone has taken them, that is all there is to it. And be-

MARY COOK Memories fore any of you go off to school, you are going to help me look for them. I have a letter ready to go to Aunt Freda in Chicago, and I want her to see our rhubarb and flower gardens from last year, and show her what I am about to plant this year. So last summer I took some snaps, and those pictures are going into that letter, and that’s all there is to it.” She sure was agitated. We gobbled down our porridge and Mother dispatched each of us to a different room in the

house for the search. We even looked under beds and between the feather tickings, and in the wood box, and in the pockets of the coats that were hanging on the hooks at the back door. Father came in from the barns to see all of us on our hands and knees looking under cupboards, chairs and sofas. “I suppose it would be too much for a man to expect to have his breakfast around here this morning. It looks to me like Mother has gone and lost something again.”

Mother threw him a look like a dagger and moved the fry pan with the sliced potatoes and salt pork from the back of the stove up to the front lid, slamming it as she did so. “Very strange it is to me,” Mother said. “How those pictures can be here one day and gone the next.” She was scraping the tea pot around on the stove. Father suggested she may have been mistaken about where she left the pictures, “Like the time you said you put your harmonica on the ice box, and we found it on the seat of the Model T,” he offered. “Those pictures were right there,” she said, and for emphasis she went over to the cupboard and gave the porcelain board another whack. “Well, there’s nothing more to do about them now,” she said with a big sigh. “But tonight we all search again. I promised those pictures to Aunt Freda, and I will keep her letter over for one more day, but they bet-

ter turn up this evening.” I wondered what would happen if they didn’t. Now, we had a long lane going into our farm from the Northcote side road and our mailbox was out on the road. Most days, Father drove out in the buggy to fetch the mail, but if he didn’t manage to get out there, we children brought the mail home after school. We could always tell if there were letters in the box, because the mailman turned it towards the road. That night, the position of the box told us Father had been too busy that day to make it out the lane. Well, there was a letter from Aunt Freda. We handed the pack of mail in to Mother, who announced that she hadn’t found the pictures and she just knew someone had moved them from her place of safe-keeping. She sat down at the kitchen table and opened the letter from our Aunt in Chicago. We heard her cough a few times, which she always did when she was nervous.

“Well, what do you know about that?” she said. ”Aunt Freda is thanking me for the pictures I sent last week. Said she loved the one of you children standing beside the rhubarb patch, and helping me plant the petunias. And was looking forward to hearing about my spring planting coming up.” Mother said there was no need to bring up the missing and then suddenly found pictures to Father. He had enough on his mind with trying to get the last of the seeding done and all. It wasn’t to be the last time Mother would mislay something, and have the entire family go in all directions to search for it. I sat on a chair and pondered the situation. And I wondered silently how Mother, who was so organized could misplace so much so often, and how a letter would go all the way out to Chicago and an answer come back in less than a week. Yes, we were certainly living in a miracle age.

Slow-cooker chicken Provencal a fragrant, easy dish to make The region of Provence in the southeast of France is known for its fragrant herb mixture, which combines beautifully in this classic chicken slow-cooker dish. If desired, add a 540 ml (19 oz) can white kidney beans (drained and rinsed) at the end of cooking and heat through. Preparation time: 15 minutes. Cooking time: 12 minutes. Slow cooker time: high 3 to 4 hours, low for 7 to 8 hours. Serves six. Ingredients

• 25 ml (2 tbsp) olive oil • 1 large onion, chopped • 227 g (8 oz) button mushrooms, sliced • 2 cloves garlic, minced • 175 ml (3/4 cup) dry white wine • 90 ml (6 tbsp) tomato paste • 25 ml (2 tbsp) packed brown

Ottawa puts call out to artists to beautify ‘gateways to the city’ Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

The city is searching for local artists interested in making their mark on two highway underpasses in the run up to Canada’s 150th birthday celebrations in 2017. City officials launched a contest on April 3 to find an artist to paint community murals in underpasses that run beneath Hwy. 417 at Bank Street and Carling Avenue. The competition was first held last year in the hopes of curbing graffiti on public walls by beautifying the community. “The idea is to beautify gateways coming into the city and looking at it from a perspective of engaging the community in the design,” said Leslie Vanclief, a section manager with public works. Last year’s murals, painted under Hwy. 417 at Metcalfe Street and Bronson Avenue at Riverside Drive, have helped to deter vandals from scrawling graffiti in the underpasses, Vanclief said.

Steph Willems/Metroland

The city has asked artists to submit proposals to spruce up underpasses at Bank Street and Carling Avenue. “When a mural is installed, it reduces the amount of graffiti that is put on the wall,” she said. Artists are expected to hold public consultations with the community for their designs

and mural submissions are required to follow the theme of the 2017 celebrations. Contestants have until the end of April to submit designs to the city. A committee of community members will

UR O Y T E L DON’ T SE A E L E L VEHIC N. W O D U O CHAIN Y

then select a shortlist of three artists for each underpass, who will then further develop their concepts with the surrounding communities before submitting a final design. The committee will then

select a winner in June and the city hopes work on the murals will get underway by July and will be finished in mid-August. The city has budgeted $25,000 for each mural. Last year’s winning murals included work by local artists Christopher Griffin, Nicole Bélanger and Ottawa Urban Arts. Each underpass had a mural on one side with Bélanger s 150th anniversary-themed paintings, and on the other were community inspired murals by Griffin and Ottawa Urban Arts, a team of urban artists who seek to empower youth. Bélanger said she plans to submit another project this year. “I have a very unique concept this year,” she said. “It’s a concept I’ve been working on through the years that I’m presenting to them. It’s very different.” Griffin’s work, which was put up where Riverside Drive runs under Bronson Avenue, incorporated peregrine falcons. The artist took inspira-

tion from the Ottawa Falcon Watch, a group of volunteers who guarded a nest of falcon hatchlings at a nearby bridge. “I never knew there were peregrine falcons there before and that there was this group of volunteers,” he said. “Highlighting and incorporating the falcons was a natural subject matter and inspiration for the mural.” After it was installed last summer, Griffin’s work took on a life of its own as observers quickly took to the social networking website Reddit to speculate the meaning of the murals. “It’s really interesting as an artist to realize once you do your work and it’s out there in the public to continue the conversation and you’re no longer relevant,” he said. “People were making stories up about it. And no one really knew if it was that somebody just placed them there and what the meaning was behind them.” More information on the competition can be found at ottawa.ca.

Comedian talks stand-up tour, upcoming show in Ottawa Continued from page 48

Q: Now that you’re living and working in Los Angeles, do you have any favourite Canadian inside jokes to tell when you work in Canada? A: It’s like a homecoming. You feel like ‘Oh you guys get me.’ You get to make fun of the cities that all of Canada makes fun of. There’s those sort of sweet, heartwarming we-all-knoweach-other kinds of inside jokes. You just feel comfortable and welcomed home. Q: Have you performed in Ottawa before? How is performing here for you? A: I’m so excited for Ottawa, because Ottawa’s such a great city. It’s such a great city for comedy. What is up with you guys? There are certain cities that just go ‘Yes please we totally want this, thank you very much.’ And Ottawa’s one of them. I used to work the Absolute Comedy club all the time. It’s such a good club. The energy there is so great. And I’ve also lately been fortunate to do larger venues, so I do Centrepointe often, and just some really nice spots. Ottawa’s almost always included on the bill of a tour. Q: As a comic and fan of comedy in general,

what do you like about stand-up? A: In terms of an art form, comedy is very special because it’s all being generated from the comedian. Actors, though a part of my community and part of the extended family, are usually saying someone else’s words and adapting them, but comedy is the epitome of personal slant. It means (I can say) what I wanna say, the way I wanna say it, when I wanna say it. Really it’s just one of the purest performance art forms, except for music. Music and comedy seem to go well together. I just can’t get bored of comedy, and that’s what’s so beautiful. It’s impossible to become bored. We get bored of our jokes, and then out of that comes new life. Your brain just goes ‘You’re bored? Guess what we’re gonna do? Write new material.’ And you do it, and you’re not bored anymore. I can always go to an open mike. I can always go on a stage and perform. Comedy is very accessible, it’s non-stop changing. It’s good for us weirdos who get bored too quickly. Q: Why did you first choose to perform standup versus other forms of comedy? A: It’s personal, which I love. I started it when I first realized I wanted to do something performance, something comedy. I tried improv, be-

cause why not? There’s something you can jump into immediately in classes, and I loved doing improv. But, probably in like the second session of classes that I took I had that moment where

grow up in comedy with there’s that bond. We both went to Humber together. It’s a small world. It’s a very small world. Q: I hear you have a fear of flying... A: I appreciate flying. Like I respect you, flying, I really do. But it’s just really stressful. I just have butterflies all day long whenever I fly. I’m very fortunate that everything’s OK, but it’s just one of those things. I just don’t know how people ever go ‘This is great!’ I’m always very aware that we are going into the air.

Comedy is very accessible, it’s non-stop changing. It’s good for us weirdos who get bored too quickly. DEBRA DIGIOVANNI

Q: You’ve worked with Just for Laughs at different points in your career. How does it feel to come back to Canada and work with them again? A: Just for Laughs...I love them as people, I love them as a company. They really always have supported me. They’re just very good to me, they’re champions of mine. They have good venues and they’re friends with the venues. They’ve been working with them so long. So it’s all very easy, and that is a delight. You work so hard in your career and then you get to the point where you’re like ‘Oh, I get to do easy stuff now,’ and that’s what this feels like. It feels like a reward for good behaviour.

I was like ‘I’d fully rather be alone on stage.’ And I think that’s one of the things you realize: You’re either an improviser or you’re a comic and I think that moment comes to you when you realize ‘I’d rather be alone on stage.’ Q: What are you most looking forward to with the tour? A: Mark Forward is one of my favourites in the world. I love him so much. He is so funny, I just look forward to watching him every night. He’s constantly writing and he’s always got something fresh. We started comedy the same year together. When you have people that you
