Board looks at alternative school site Residents angered that trees are cut before drainage plans made public Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson is championing the new location, which is already zoned to allow a school, in an attempt to move the much-needed facility from the school board’s proposed site in the Kanata North Technology Park.

City council rejected the school board’s

request to locate the school on Innovation Drive, putting a pinch on the project, which needs to be built before the 2015 school year starts in order to qualify for provincial funds needed to build the project.

Public board still considering multiple sites for new school Continued from page 1

KNL Developments, which currently owns the potential school site at the southwest corner of Terry Fox Drive and Old Second Line Road, began cutting down trees there last week in preparation for due diligence that needs to be done to ensure the site can meet the needs of a school.

“This is not the start of the subdivision,” Wilkinson said.

“It’s a special thing we’re doing to get a school (built) in time.”

The site isn’t a done deal, said Jennifer McKenzie, chairwoman of the school board.

There is no agreement or tentative agreement for the school board to purchase the KNL site. The board still owns the land on Innovation Drive for which the city rejected a rezoning application.

It’s also not the only alternative site the school board is considering, McKenzie said.

The board has its sights on three or four locations, all in various stages of planning and investigation, she said.

The Terry Fox site has a lot of challenges, Wilkinson said.

It’s located in a later phase – Phase 8 – of the planned subdivision being built by KNL

look at the site is promising, Wilkinson said.

“There is no guarantee that the site is going ahead at this point,” she said. “But it’s a good step forward and I hope everything will work out and the school could be built in time, because we have kids who need to have a school.”

Developments.

That area was supposed to be built within the next decade, said KNL spokeswoman Mary Jarvis. The timeline depends on when an extension of Goulbourn Forced Road – which would include utility servicing for the new area – could be built.

The road could be fasttracked by the city, or the city could ask the developer to “front-end” the cost of building it sooner. KNL hasn’t yet been asked to do that, Jarvis said.

Wilkinson said there has been some discussion of finding temporary servicing with enough capacity to serve just the school site, until the permanent utilities are constructed to support the surrounding development.

While there is no requirement for a public meeting for the school site since it doesn’t need rezoning, Lee Ann Snedden, the city’s manager of policy development and urban design, said there are plans for a special meeting to give residents some information about the site-plan details if and when the board applies to build the school.

Despite all the hurdles, the school board’s willingness to

cutting, so city staff OKed the removal of trees before that meeting could be held.

However, Snedden said in an email that the study should be completed “in the coming months.”

The city’s storm-water study doesn’t include a plan for managing drainage – that’s KNL’s responsibility.

But both Wilkinson and Snedden said the storm-water study has no impact on the proposed school site because the school will have separate storm-water servicing instead of draining into the Beaver Pond drainage facility.

“It doesn’t impact this site,” Wilkinson said.

The councillor said that in 2012, she requested city staff hold off on allowing tree cutting until the public had been heard on the revised drainage plan, but pointed out that residents have been reminded she has no authority to halt the issuance of tree-cutting permits.

Jarvis said KNL left a sixmetre buffer of trees along the east and west boundaries of the property, as well as a 30-metre buffer along the Terry Fox frontage. Approximately half the trees on the 32-hectare site were to be cut down, Jarvis said.

TREE CUTTING

The move has already angered some residents who say the city is reneging on its promise to release an updated storm-water drainage plan before allowing any trees to be cut.

Paul Renaud, who has been involved in the efforts to protect the nearby Beaver Pond from the effects of a new suburban community, said the tree cutting illustrates how the city is willing to back away from its commitments.

“Despite overwhelming public interest, the city continues to operate in secret,” he said.

Wilkinson said the city’s updated drainage study was almost ready at last check and she inquired about the need for a public meeting weeks ago.

But the process ran up against the spring deadline for tree

trees to see if animals are present. If there is an animal in the tree, the tree is not disturbed and the crew returns to remove it once the animal has moved on. Nesting boxes were placed around the area to lure animals such as squirrels out from trees.

A similar policy is being considered for the wildlife construction policy the city committed to drafting as part of an update to its wildlife management strategy last year.

City staff conducted surveys to identify areas where trees and wildlife habitats were to be retained, Snedden said. They also monitored cutting to ensure the removals complied with the urban tree conservation bylaw.

councillor said, to avoid the nesting season of birds in the area.

If tree cutting didn’t happen before the deadline for bird nesting season, there would be no way for the school to be built in time for kids to attend in September of 2015, Wilkinson said.

That tree-cutting deadline is needed to comply with the federal Migratory Birds Convention Act, Snedden wrote.

In addition, KNL was asked to follow the tree-removal protocol followed by the city’s forestry department.

Councillor makes case for Beaverbrook heritage Conservation district study to cost $200K, be completed in 2015 Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Coun. Marianne Wilkinson continued to make the case for a heritage district study for Beaverbrook on April 10.

The Kanata North councillor delivered a lengthy presentation on the heritage attributes of the post-war neighbourhood – the first section of the masterplanned new community of Kanata that was built.

Next year, residents of the area will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first homes constructed in the area.

Four hundred people signed a petition asking the city to study the area for a potential heritage district designation, which would recognize the area for its unique character, even if some of the buildings within the area don’t have heritage value.

A designation would mean any alterations, additions or demolitions in the district would require a permit from the city, depending on the individual guidelines set for that district.

The proposed heritage district study for Beaverbrook got its legs when council voted last December to direct the study to be included in the planning

department’s priorities and to request a budget of $200,000 to do the study in 2015.

Wilkinson said the former city of Kanata is a prime example of the “garden city” style of planning that calls for a complete town with jobs, homes, schools, retail and recreation set in the natural environment.

Its blueprint has been used in land-use planning schools across Canada, Wilkinson said.

“It was really critical that nature was supposed to be the spirit of the community,” she said.

“It has stood the test of time for the concept use.”

Kanata is a rare community in Ottawa in that the hydro wires were all placed underground when the area was built in order to maintain the natural look, Wilkinson said.

Bill Teron, who is still active in the community, created the framework for the satellite community of 60,000 people and he bought up 1,200 hectares of land to make his vision a reality.

Beaverbrook follows in the footsteps of Briarcliffe district, is believed to be the first group of modern homes in Canada to be designated as a heritage district.

Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun.

Peter Clark, who sits on the city’s built heritage subcommittee, said he thinks the idea of the study is a good one, but questioned the high price tag

Continued from page 3

The study would follow in the footsteps of the city’s designation of a clutch of midcentury modern homes in the city’s east end in March of this year.

That district, called the Briarcliffe heritage conservation

and whether the Kanata study should take priority over other communities that are seeking similar studies.

that’s part of the joy in it,” said Potvin. “You develop your style and people can recognize your paintings without a name.”

Her specialty is watercolours, especially of birds and flowers.

As a fellow founding member of the tour, she has had the opportunity to watch the tour grow.

“It’s become so popular over the years,” said Potvin.

One of Potvin’s favourite parts about the tour has become the inquisitive children that take part.

“We ask them what their favourite is and you can just see them get so excited,” she said.

“It’s a wonderful, nonthreatening way to introduce them to art.”

Arts - Last year marked the first time Allison Fagan, a founding member of the Kanata Artists Studio Tour, couldn’t open her studio to the public.

A recurring repetitive strain injury from drawing led to doctor’s orders to take a break from her art.

“It was the first time I got to take the tour and it was so interesting,” said Fagan.

“Every house has a different feel and work presented differently. It was lovely.”

Fagan will be returning as a host this year as the tour enters its 23rd year.

The tour has become an anticipated part of spring for the artists and art-lovers alike, taking place in West Carleton and

Kanata.

A coloured-pencil artist, she has adjusted her style as a result of her injury.

“Because my body was telling me to stop, for a while I took some mixed-media classes, which combines painting and whatever else you want to incorporate,” said Fagan.

“I can do the main object in coloured-pencil and paint the background and add texture.”

Fagan teaches colouredpencil classes out of her home studio.

The artists on the tour provide a variety of themes and forms of art, and each one has a unique style.

Elizabeth Potvin is a fellow founding member of the studio tour.

“All of us have recognizable styles that people notice, and

The artists take pride in their studio environments.

“It’s important for people to see art in the home setting too,” said Potvin.

Janis Miller Hall, who is opening her studio to the public for the upcoming tour, agrees that the presentation is a big part.

“To walk into a home and see the things on the wall, it really does go well,” said Hall.

“It allows them to picture it in their own home, rather than gallery settings which can be intimidating.”

She uses oils and pastels to paint landscapes and contemporary realism.

Like Fagan, Hall teaches classes in the area. Hall has taught drawing and painting at Wallack’s in Bells Corners.

RicharD Murphy is the first photographer to join the studio tour. The professional photographer has been eagerly awaiting the departure of snow.

“I’ve been doing a lot of rocks and trees lately, trees in particular seem to have a mysterious effect on people,” said Murphy.

“My last winter piece was frost on a window, so I didn’t even have to go outside,” he added with a laugh.

Last year Murphy was a guest artist of longtime gallery member Judy Miller. It was a positive experience, one that helped prepare him for his

own studio tour this year.

“I had a great weekend with Judy and we got a lot of traffic too,” he said. “I’m looking forward to this year.”

This year’s featured artists include: Violeta Borisonik, David Farrar, Susan Goold, Karl Kischel, Beulah McLellan, Judi Miller along with Fagan, Potvin, Hall and Murphy.

Guest artists include Susan Ukkola and Amie Talbot.

Kanata Seniors’ Council’s Far West Fun Fest is back Kanata Seniors’ Council

The Kanata Seniors’ Council’s Far West Fun Fest is back for an activity-packed two weeks starting Thursday, May 1, through Friday, May 16.

Far West Fun Fest was launched by the Kanata Seniors Council in 2011.

It was designed to provide seniors with a varied programme of activities to bridge what can be “a rather flat time of year,” said council presi-

dent Kay Dubie.

“When we launched the program it was strictly on a let’s-see basis and I must admit it’s been exciting to see how it’s taken off,” she said.

“From the moment we introduced the Fun Fest – and that’s exactly what it’s designed to be, fun from start to finish, we were amazed at how many people came to us to make sure it would be back next year.

“We listened; we brought

sic registration fee is $20 although some events carry a small additional charge.

Cheques should be made out to the Kanata Seniors’ Council.

“There’s a sheet with a list of activities in each programme booklet,” said Liz Tucker, vice-chairwoman of the Kanata Seniors Council.

“All registrants have to do is mark their selection and get it back to the council no later than Friday, April 25,” she said.

The April 25 deadline is critical, said Dubie.

“It’s our job to try and make

Age theatre, mah jong, the tulip tour, and yoga.

“We’re so grateful for the support and participation of local seniors’ residences who partner with us to host some of our activities,” said Dubie.

“It would be a good idea to pick up your programmes as soon as possible so you can choose the activities you’re interested in. That way you’ll avoid being disappointed.”

Programmes can be picked up from the lobby desk in the Kanata Seniors’ Centre at 2500 Campeau Dr., as well as at any participating seniors’ residences. As usual, the ba-

Far West Fun Fest features activities such as a darts tournament followed by fish and chips at the Kanata legion, flower arranging sessions (which, due to sheer popularity have now been expanded) lawn bowling, and nine-hole golf , as well as new activities such as square dancing, Sage

sure that everybody gets their choice,” said Dubie.

“Sometimes, if too many people sign up for one activity, it’s just not possible. So I encourage everybody to pick up their programmes, make their choices, and get them back to us as quickly as possible.”

has a right to know - one way or another.

To assuage the public’s concerns, I’d suggest the creation of an unbiased, third-party, oversight committee to assess the fairness of these salaries as they compare to the private sector - but also one that possesses the ability to assess the financial sustainability of paying salaries such as these. Should this committee (perhaps under the auditor-general’s purview) find that these salaries are indeed commensurate with privatesector salaries, then so be it – all is well - but at least then the public could be presented with a report that accompanies the publishing of the Sunshine List to assess whether our highest paid city management is compensated fairly - and with an explanation of how bonuses and salaries of such magnitude are awarded.

It’s taxpayer money, and taxpayers deserve nothing less than openness and transparency concerning where their money is spent.

outs that contribute to this year’s Sunshine List – and many are deserving of a high salary - but some others are consistently large, growing, and deserve our scrutiny.

Chief among them are the salaries and bonuses of our city’s top bureaucrats. Atop the list, city manager Kent Kirkpatrick continues to earn more money per year than many of us will ever see in a one-year period of time.

Perhaps he’s really that good, and I don’t begrudge people making an excellent living, but there are also nine others who join him in that top 10 – none of whom make any less than $228,000 per year.

The question is whether those salaries are commensurate with those found in the private sector – especially a private sector that has only just begun to climb out of the 2008 recession.

When you add together the salaries of the city’s top ten earners – for just the past year - the figure is nearly $2.8 million. And that’s just for 10 bureaucrats. Is that sustainable? Is it fair? Maybe. But the public

In a time where governments the world over have been forced to execute financial austerity, is it any wonder that Ottawa’s taxpaying public might question the capital’s ballooning “Sunshine List”?

The list, inaugurated in 1996, provides the public with a list of public-sector City of Ottawa employees who earn more than $100,000. Since then, $100,000 has come to mean something less – but it’s still a number that befits a very good living and remains a good benchmark.

This year, Ottawa’s Sunshine List has increased to 2,188 employees of the City of Ottawa who cracked the $100,000 mark.

The year before, there were a “mere” 1,189. Meanwhile, other job markets in the city are losing ground and many employees are witnessing salary cuts (and job cuts). Certainly, everyone is contending with higher taxes, higher home-heating costs, and an overall higher cost-of living.

There are some one-time increases such as retroactive pay-

Scrap the Fair Elections Act

T

he most serious flaw among the many, many flaws in the Fair Elections Act is its author, MP Pierre Poilievre.

The entire exercise should be scrapped because he is unfit to draw up such a bill, let alone maintain his position as democratic reform minister.

Poilievre’s unprecedented attack on Chief Electoral Officer Marc Mayrand’s integrity, impartiality, and motives – saying the referee shouldn’t be wearing a team jersey – was compounded when he claimed Mayrand is trying to pad his power and budget.

“He wants more power, a bigger budget and less accountability,” Poilievre told the Senate legal and constitutional affairs committee on April 8.

It’s a baseless claim, of course. It even runs contrary to Mayrand’s past actions (always a good indicator of future actions).

Instead, Poilievre’s bill reveals his party wants a bigger war chest, less accountability and more power to win elections by preventing nonConservatives voters from casting their ballot. It encourages bigger contributions to larger parties by making campaign financing loopholes, creating less accountability from a weakened Elections Canada that uncovered the in-and-out scandal and other dirty tricks.

Mayrand aside, Poilievre also levelled baseless attacks against provincial chief electoral officers, scholars, public intellectuals, columnists, experts from various countries around the world, and protesters armed with petitions delivered to 25 MPs’ offices in Canada, including his own.

Perhaps conservative Preston Manning, who recently criticized the bill, is next.

The point is that elections experts are attacked en masse and without cause by Poilievre.

He’s not politely pointing out a dfference of opinion he has with critics – he’s questioning their motives.

Since he is presumably an expert on elections, as he is the democratic reform minister and spent some time thinking about the bill before drafting it, that is reason enough to disqualify him from penning it.

Elections experts, according to his reasoning, ought to leave the Fair Elections Act up to someone with less specialized knowledge and, say, more common sense.

Poilievre has proven that he is not intellectually capable of addressing arguments against the bill. Personal attacks are the surest sign of a flawed intelligence.

It’s time to scrap the Fair Elections Act.

‘Social engineering’ or not, we’re better off

A

ttempts by government to change the way people behave are often criticized as “social engineering” and often the criticism is justified.

But sometimes the attempts actually help.

This is what we draw from an event last week where the city and Ottawa Public Health dropped some statistics on smoking. It’s way down in Ottawa. After stalling for a few years, the smoking rate has dropped to 11 per cent. It was 15 per cent three years ago. According to Ottawa Public Health, ours is the lowest smoking rate in the province.

The city can’t claim full credit for this. What has happened here is part of a nation-wide trend that has been going on for decades. In 1999, the smoking rate was 23.2 per cent. In 1985, it was 35 per cent.

Some of these figures come from different sources, so comparisons aren’t exact, but you get the idea: in the last 30 years, the percentage of smokers has been halved, or declined by two-thirds, depending on which numbers you use.

That’s a significant change of behaviour, one of the most significant ever in our country.

If you are old enough to remember when everyone smoked, you know the difference. It is common now to be at parties where everyone

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town in the room used to smoke and none of them do now.

A lot of that has to do with peer, rather than governmental, pressure. Suddenly, it was not socially acceptable to light up. Suddenly, people became more fitness conscious.

Suddenly, your children were at you about smoking. Suddenly, people weren’t smoking on television. Suddenly, there were no ashtrays in people’s houses.

Things like that would have a big effect on us. But governmental action, both through regulation and education has made a difference too.

The kids who nagged at you to quit probably picked that up in school. Good for the schools and good for governments at all levels that kept pumping the health statistics out at us.

Sti sville News 8 Kanata Kourier-Standard EMC - Thursday, April 17, 2014 Sti sville News

Of greater significance, though, were the changes made in where smoking was allowable. It got to be really inconvenient to smoke, which was an incentive to quit. It also got to be really expensive, thanks to higher and higher taxes. A pack of cigarettes costs something like $8 now. That’s a deterrent, particularly to young people. But the inconvenience might be even more important. In the days when cigarettes were cheaper, they were also much more visible. You would see people smoking them in grocery stores, on airplanes, in bars, in shopping centres, in theatres, in restaurants, at work.

Then the rules began changing. Cigarettes disappeared from the workplace, the stores, airplanes and trains. Then, with considerably more controversy, smoking was banned in bars and restaurants. This may have hurt bar and restaurant owners, but it made a big difference both to non-smokers and to smokers who were thinking of quitting (which, I can say as a reformed smoker, is all of them).

The jury may be out on the economic impact of banning smoking in restaurants and bars. But it can be argued that those who want to smoke can step onto the sidewalk. Meanwhile, bars and restaurants have gained new customers who had previously stayed away because they didn’t like to be in a smoky environment.

In short, people who were inclined to quit anyway found they had a greater incentive to do so because smoking had become not just an unhealthy and expensive pastime, but a pain in the neck.

Here, there was more help at the governmental level in the provision of anti-smoking programs at clinics and hospitals. Last year, more than 4,300 people took part in stop-smoking programs offered by Ottawa Public Health.

There is still muttering about social engineering, particularly as smoking bans spread out of doors. But you can’t argue with the fact that we’re better off for it.

Sleep: the new prescription

I

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse overviews of this research is in the second chapter of the 2009 New York Times bestselling book, Nurture Shock, called “The lost hour.” The chapter’s title is based on the statistic that children today get an hour less sleep on average per night than children from 30 years ago.

Maybe the solution is simpler than we realize: How well are our children sleeping?

testing. The study’s author determined that just one hour of lost sleep was “equivalent to (the loss of) two years of cognitive maturation and development.” In other words, summarized Bronson, “a slightly sleepy sixth-grader will perform in class like a mere fourth-grader.”

Another study cited in the chapter makes a connection between sleep and regulation of insulin, concluding that kids who don’t sleep are prone to weight problems and diabetes.

Sleep is essential for kids to learn, to create positive memories, to stay in good physical health.

Teenagers that get a good night’s sleep are less prone to depression.

School-aged kids are less likely to have clumsy accidents in the playground. Preschoolers are likely to have better cognitive functioning and fewer tantrums.

So the next time you’re reading about the latest

quick-fix for your children’s health or behaviour, you may want to take a step back and check the clock.

How well are the kids winding down at night? Do they have a solid hour of relaxation time with books and quiet activities (no screens).

How long are they sleeping? Many school-aged children need 10-11 hours of sleep per night. (One of my children needs 12). How well are they sleeping?

Do they have too much stimuli in the bedroom? Are they snoring?

Do they have too many stuffed animals in their rooms? Too much light?

Improving the way your children sleep and the length of your children’s sleep can only have a positive outcome.

Despite all the pop psychology available at the click of a button, your grandmother probably had it right: a good night’s sleep really is the best medicine.

t can be overwhelming to parent in the digital age. There’s so much advice out there about what to feed kids, how to discipline them and what sorts of extracurricular activities will make them well-rounded, perhaps even perfect, children.

Frankly, much of it’s tosh.

And as most of us try, inconsistently, to follow the latest advice trends – freefrom diets, punish-reward systems of discipline, prescription medication – we are simultaneously seeing a rise in overweight and obesity, constipation, attention deficit disorder, anxiety and behavioural problems in children.

Our heads clouded with conflicting information on the Internet, maybe the solution is simpler than we realize: How well are our children sleeping?

You may think that’s ridiculous, but sleep is the new vitamin and most of us aren’t getting enough, including children and adolescents.

The more I talk to parents, the more I realize most kids seem to have obvious problems in the sleep area. Some have toddlers that refuse to nap, there are school-aged children awake at all hours of the night, others have night terrors or issues with bedwetting, then there’s the fatigued teens falling asleep in the classroom.

And let’s not forget the not-so-obvious consequences of bad sleep: toddlers having temper tantrums, otherwise well-disciplined kids that are inattentive or belligerent at school or home, increased visits to hospital emergency rooms, teenagers who don’t get enough sleep are more likely to suffer from depression and engage in negative high-risk behaviour.

If you think that’s all tosh, you’re wrong.

There have been multiple research studies that have specifically examined the impact of insufficient sleep in children.

IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT Notice of Intention to Designate The City of Ottawa on March 26, 2014 established its intention to designate 478 Albert Street under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value.

Description of Property The building at 478 Albert Street is a three storey residence with a high basement that is located on the south side of Albert Street, to the west of the intersection of Bronson Avenue and Albert Street.

Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest The house at 478 Albert Street is significant for its design value as an excellent example of the Second Empire style, historical value for its association with Thomas Seaton Scott and contextual value as part of a cluster of historic nineteenth century buildings on Albert Street.

The building at 478 Albert Street was constructed circa 1874, in the Second Empire style, which was popular in Canada between 1860 and 1900. The architectural features of the building which are characteristic of the ornate Second Empire style include its mansard roof, ornate entrance, prominent second storey elliptical porch, distinct triangular bay windows and intricate dichromatic brick work.

The building at 478 Albert Street was designed for and likely by, Thomas Seaton Scott, the first Chief Architect of the Department of Public Works. Scott was a well known Canadian architect whose work in Ottawa included the 1874 design for the west block of Parliament and the Drill Hall at Cartier Square. Later residents of the building included noted Canadian author William Dawson LeSueur, the Victorian Order of Nurses and the Sisters of Service. The building is associated with the former Ashburnham Hill neighbourhood in the west end of Uppertown. Ashburnham Hill was an early residential neighbourhood which was settled by members of Ottawa’s English-speaking elite from the mid- to late-nineteenth century.

This building is one of four remaining nineteenth century buildings located on the south side of Albert Street that has preserved its original low–scale residential character. The cluster of historic buildings on Albert Street stands out amongst the surrounding high-rise apartments and offices. The house at 478 Albert Street is significant for its contribution to the historic residential character.

OBJECTIONS Any person wishing to object to this designation may do so by letter, outlining the reasons for the objection and any other relevant information. This letter must be received by the Clerk of the City of Ottawa either by registered mail or personally delivered within 30 days of the publication of this notice. When a notice of objection has been received, the Council of the City of Ottawa will refer the matter to the Conservation Review Board for a hearing and a report.

Kourier-Standard journalists win provincial, national awards The Kanata Kourier-Standard picked up two awards from the Ontario Community Newspapers Association 2013 Better Newspaper Competition.

Blair Edwards, news editor of the Kourier-Standard, won first place in the health and wellness category for “Breast cancer survivor looks for courage within,” a story about a Beaverbrook woman’s strug-

gles to recover from a double mastectomy.

“Captivating, even brave storytelling. Brutally honest.

This story delves deep behind the tests, diagnoses and surgeries, to show a person’s life behind her illness,” said Jessica Peters, who judged the category.

The Georgina Advocate took second place for its story “Dangerous drug trend,” and the Elmira Woolwich Observer won third for “The words

may come out wrong, but now there’s support.”

Reporter Jessica Cunha took third place in the best feature category for her story, “A toast to the masters,” a feature about the Kanata Toastmaster Club.

“Jessica Cunha took an average … assignment and turned it into a lively feature that put the reader right into the centre of the story’s action,” said Christopher Vaughan, who judged the category.

The Collingwood Enterprise Bulletin took first place for its story titled: “Downtown diner serves up a love story and the Milton Canadian Champion won second for its story titled “Boy’s brave fight leaves family living minute by minute.”

Metroland East journalists picked up a national community newspaper award this year, taking second place in the best feature series category in its circulation class of the Canadian Community Newspaper Awards.

Dying for Dignity, a threepart series looking at the need for improved palliative and hospice care in the Ottawa area, was produced by a team of reporters: Michelle Nash, Emma Jackson, Laura Mueller, Jessica Cunha and Blair

Edwards.

“I’m very proud of our team of reporters,” said Edwards.

“They spent countless hours meeting with palliative-care experts, health-care professionals, volunteers as well as patients receiving end-of-life care to examine an important issue in Canadian health care.”

JOAN GULLEN AWARD

The Metroland East Special Report team was also honoured with a Joan Gullen Award for Media Excellence in the small print-media category for the series.

The Gullen prize is sponsored by the Ontario Association of Social Workers.

ONTARIO NURSES MEDIA AWARDS

The team also won a Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario’s Media Award in the features series category.

The series explored the need to rehabilitate the hospice palliative-care system by creating a more realistic funding model and ensuring quality end-oflife care is available to everyone who wants and needs it.

According to the Canadian Palliative Care Association, most Canadians would prefer to die in a home-based setting, yet nearly 75 per cent of all deaths occur in a hospital.

The first part of the series examined palliative care in the Ottawa area and the need for more resources as the population ages.

In the second part, the team looked at a new program in Ottawa that aimed to change how palliative care was delivered and funded across the region.

The series wrapped up with a prescription offered by palliative-care experts, who are pressing governments to support a move to integrated end-of-life care. Visit OttawaCommunitynews.com to check out the series.

Kanata blogger pens children’s adventure book Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Arts - It can look like a big, bad world out there, especially when you are only a couple feet tall and just a few years old.

For Jennifer Perlin’s son, Konrad, the combination of moving to a new, larger preschool and his big imagination made everything a bit overwhelming for the two-yearold.

But after figuring out what Konrad was worried about, Perlin ended up with an idea for a children’s book, which is coming out on April 27, and a much happier little boy.

FINDING KONRAD

Helping hands

Adam Kveton/Metroland

ABOVE: Students from across Canada cheer during International We Day at the Canadian Tire Centre in Kanata on April 9. Students from 430 schools across the country and 354 schools in the Ottawa region enjoyed musical acts by Simple Plan and Neverest, and speakers such as Martin Luther King III, Ottawa Senators players Jason Spezza, Chris Neil and Chris Phillips, and local youths Chelsea Wilken and Isabelle Poulin from West Carleton and Fahd Alhattab.

LEFT: Simple Plan singer Pierre Bouvier sings during the band’s performance at We Day as students reach toward him.

Think you know everything La-Z-Boy makes? Think again.

When she enrolled her then two-year-old son in a new preschool, the drop-offs and pickups were traumatic.

“Every morning I would take him and you could hear his screams through the whole school. It was heart wrenching,” said Perlin, who runs the community blog Kids in Kanata.

To find a solution to Konrad’s worries, Perlin consulted

some literature on helping children deal with separation anxiety, but that didn’t cut it for Konrad. It wasn’t until he revealed where his anxiety came from that Perlin came upon an idea.

One day, as Konrad walked in line with the other children to pre-school, crying the whole time, Perlin asked why he was upset. “‘Well I don’t want to leave. I’m worried that you won’t be able to find me,’” said Perlin, recounting Konrad’s answer.

“I clued in that, for someone so little, just how big that school would look to him,” she said. From his perspective, getting lost was really very possible.

But after that, Perlin hit on a method for reassuring Konrad.

“When I was dropping him off one day, I said, ‘Konrad, it doesn’t matter if you are hiding in a closet in the school. I will find you.’”

Konrad would ask over and over if his mom would find him in a closet, and then in other places, and with continued assurance that he would be found, Konrad’s anxiety lessened.

In the wake of that experi-

ence, Perlin realized she had the making of her first book: Konrad, I will find you.

The book begins with a young boy going to school for the first time. When he explains he is worried his mom might not find him, she assures him she could find him anywhere. This kicks off Konrad’s hypothetical journey through forests, mountains, space, the desert, the arctic and other faroff places.

But, no matter where Konrad says he might be lost, both mom and dad say they would find him.

It has taken about a year since Konrad’s move to his new pre-school to finish the book, said Perlin, and since then, his separation anxiety has passed. But the lesson and the adventure are there to be shared with other parents and children.

Perlin said the book can be used to help both children and parents with separation anxiety, and it’s also just a lot of fun.

The book’s illustrator, Jay Lutes, also from Kanata, makes the story come alive with some detailed and Canadian settings, said Perlin.

Submitted

Author Jennifer Perlin, right, illustrator Jay Lutes, centre, and publisher Roxanne McLaren of Another Chapter Publishing Co., all from Kanata, pose with Perlin’s book, Konrad, I will find you.

“There is a lot of little Canadian things going on in the background, kind of like a Canada hide and seek,” she said, with hockey scenes, Canadian ice-breakers in the arctic, and more.

Though Perlin said she

hopes the lesson she learned with her son can help others, she doesn’t want the book to be “preachy.”

“It’s just meant to be a fun adventure.”

A book launch for Konrad, I will find you (available

in both French and English) will take place on April 27 at Roger-Saint-Denis school on 186 Barrow Cr. in Kanata at 2 p.m. There will be a book reading, crafts and other activities, book signings, door prizes and free food, said Perlin.

Serious eye diseases often go undetected velop one of the four most common eye diseases in their lifetime: diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, cataracts and agerelated macular degeneration (AMD).

“These figures are definitely startling,” says Dr. Keith Gordon, vice president of research at CNIB, “especially considering most vision loss in Canada doesn’t have to happen in the first place.”

In fact, he says that 75 per cent of all vision loss in this country can be prevented or successfully treated.

“The key to achieving this involves simple lifestyle changes to help prevent diseases and early diagnosis and treatment is encouraged,” Dr. Gordon points out.

“Since many eye diseases don’t have symptoms at the onset, it’s important to have

regular eye examinations from a Doctor of Optometry, for early detection.”

May is Vision Health Month so CNIB and Doctors of Optometry Canada are calling on everyone to do one simple thing that could save our sight: get an eye exam from a Doctor of Optometry.

“Your eyes are for life, so you need to take care of them,” says Dr. Lil Linton, the president of the Canadian Association of Optometrists and a spokesperson for Doctors of Optometry Canada.

“Vision Health Month is all about spreading that message so as few of us as possible experience vision loss due to these serious eye diseases.”

For every eye exam conducted during this awareness month, participating Doctors of Optometry are donating $2 to CNIB. More information is available online at eyesareforlife.ca.

Focus on Eye Disease With guidance from CNIB and Doctors of Optometry Canada, here is more information about the four most common eye diseases: Cataracts are a clouding of the lenses inside the eyes, which can block light from reaching the retina and interfere with vision.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) causes damage to the macula, the central part of the retina re-

sponsible for seeing fine details, such as reading print or seeing faces.

Diabetic retinopathy occurs when elevated blood sugar (glucose) levels cause blood vessels in the eye to swell, weaken and leak in the retina, resulting in damage to the delicate retinal tissues.

Glaucoma involves damage to the optic nerve most often caused by high pressure inside the eye.

It’s often called “the silent thief” because there are usually no symptoms before damage to the peripheral vision occurs and permanent vision loss sets in.

Little league players gear up for opening day Sports – Snow is still on the ground, but preparations are well underway for a new season of Little League baseball in Kanata.

Opening day for the spring season is on May 1, and the Kanata Little League Baseball Association expects to organize teams for 475 players, including 75 children who participated in the association’s winter program.

The association hopes to improve coaching and the players’ enjoyment of the game this year.

Last January, a group of 10 coaches traveled to Toronto for an intense weekend of training hosted by Baseball Canada and the Toronto Blue Jays Academy.

In late April, all coaches for the blast ball, T-ball, rookie, minor, major, and junior programs will be offered training from Little League Baseball Canada’s national coach Al Herback.

Herback’s “Teaching for Tomorrow” tools have been instrumental to coaches in the T-ball, rookie, minor and major programs over the past

three seasons. The guides focus on making the game fun while learning fundamental baseball skills.

YOUR ANGLICAN CHURCH INVITES YOU TO

TRUE SPORT

The association is also excited to announce that it has joined the True Sport movement.

True Sport is a series of programs and initiatives with the goal of driving sport experience based on the values of fairness, excellence, inclusion and fun.

Programs are available for players from the ages of four to 18, living in Kanata, Stittsville, Richmond, Munster, Carp, and Dunrobin.

There is room in all spring programs for registration - but they are filling up fast. Visit http://kllba.ca to register your player.

West Ottawa Ringette Association to hold player recruiting session Debbie Roberts,

West Ottawa Ringette Association The West Ottawa Ringette Association is holding a player recruitment session for children between the ages of four and 16 at the Bell Sensplex on April 26, from 10 a.m. to noon.

Ice times are: for children ages four to six: 10 to 10:50 a.m. and for children seven and older: 11 to 11:50 a.m. at the Ottawa Citizen Rink.

The player recruiting event is free of charge.

The association has recently won a grant from the provincial government’s Ontario’s Sport and Recreation Fund, which will allow more children to play on West Ottawa teams.

This is an opportunity for all kids and youth who would like to get out on the ice and try out the game of ringette and get a feel for the game.

All that is needed is a pair of skates, a helmet and a pair of either winter or hockey gloves.

Ringette sticks will be available, but prospective players are asked to bring their own if possible.

The association now offers an equipment loan program to new players ages four to seven, which provides all the necessary equipment except helmets and skates.

Representatives from the association will be available to answer questions at the event and there will be on-ice helpers to assist any new skaters.

The association is looking for goalies between the ages of 10 and 16.

For more information about the association and its programs visit ottawaringette. com.

The 100th anniversary of the beginning of the First World War is this June, and Canada’s national museums will commemorate four grim years of combat – in Europe and on the home front – through 2019.

The first two exhibitions dealing

w i t h what was then called the Great War opened on April 10 at the war museum. The most personal works are those created by soldiers who decided to paint or draw what they saw. They are now part of one of the two concurrent exhibitions, titled Witness – Canadian Art of the First World War. The sketches and drawings made in the trenches or in prisoner-of-war camps – some not much larger than postcards – stand in stark contrast to massive paintings commissioned by the Canadian War Memorials Fund.

Some of the works by those in uni-

form were never intended for display in a museum but were created for family back home or comrades.

None of the art created by ordinary soldiers has ever been publicly displayed before. In all, 54 artworks are presented in four thematic sections in Witness, including pieces by three artists who would later become part of the Group of Seven: A.Y. Jackson, Arthur Lismer and Frederick Varley. transformation

“The war transformed Canada and you can witness that transformation as it happened,” said war art historian Laura Brandon during an April 9 preview of the exhibition.

Brandon introduced the daughter of one soldier-artist during the

launch. Marjorie Gould’s father, Ross Wiggs, served in the Canadian artillery with the McGill Battery and created colour drawings of what he saw during the war.

“It’s a real honour for him and for me,” Gould said of his part in the Witness exhibition: a cheerful image of a Canadian soldier, entitled Tommy.

Gould also carries with her two small books of drawings her father brought home and it seems a small miracle they survived time near the front lines and then the long trip back to Canada.

“There’s a whole series (of drawings of soldiers), from private to general,” Gould said of the neatly bound books.

Soldier-artist John Humphries’ untitled watercolour depicts a soldier on horseback and an ambulance, making their way down a wet road at sunset. In 1919, Humphries was stationed near the town of Saint-Gérard, Belgium. The house in which he was billeted at the time became “a shrine to Canadians” after he painted pictures directly on the walls.

Otto Dix, Zerfallender Kampfgraben (Trench in Ruins), 1924. In this print, German artist Otto Dix depicts a First World War trench in the aftermath of violent shelling.

In the dark, crumbling ground, bodies and skeletons merge with the earth. In the distance, Dix uses light, a traditional symbol of hope, to expose an endless field of shell holes.

The works of Wiggs and the other artists will be seen by thousands of Canadians as Witness goes on a crossCanada tour after September.

The second exhibition at the war museum is entitled Transformations, and runs concurrently with Witness. It includes paintings from two very different perspectives: the Allied and German sides during the First World War. FROM BOTH SIDES

Canadian artist A.Y. Jackson was a professional painter prior to enlisting in the 60th Battalion in 1915. He fought and was injured, and was appointed as an official war artist in 1917.

German artist Otto Dix joined up in 1914, serving in the German army at the Battle of the Somme.

While Jackson avoided the depiction of battle, Dix didn’t shy away from incorporating corpses in what has been described as Apocalyptic art.

In a few cases, the paths of Jackson and Dix crossed, and there are artworks of locations when they were held by the opposing sides during the war.

The Dix works on display include a number on loan from the national gallery in Berlin.

UPCOMING

Witness and Transformations will be on display at the Canadian War Museum until Sept. 21. They require regular admission to the museum.

Many upcoming exhibitions at the war museum and the National Gallery of Canada will share the years of the First World War with Canadians.

The gallery will host The Great War: The Persuasive Power of Photography from June 27 to Nov. 16.

The war museum will bring in temporary exhibits during the coming five years and will also add to its permanent collection with The Home Front, which opens this September. Complete schedules can be found at www.warmuseum.ca.

Vivian Cummings, A Poppy Field, France, around 1918. The smallest piece in the exhibition, this watercolour by Canadian soldier-artist Vivian Cummings is a rare depiction of a poppy field on the Western Front. It may have been inspired by John McCrae’s popular 1915 poem, In Flanders Fields, which made the poppy a well-known symbol of remembrance of the war dead.

Legacy gift to CHEO generates $4.6 million As CHEO gets ready to celebrate its 40th anniversary this year, it is natural to reflect back to the early days of the hospital. It was a dream that was built on sheer will and determination by a community that was committed to providing the best health care for its children and youth. During the late 1960’s and early 70’s, physicians, elected officials, parents and the community at large joined forces to establish a special and distinct hospital to serve the children and youth of eastern Ontario and western Quebec. This group raised $4 million from the community which was a formidable sum for the times.

When Mr. Cochrane died in 1985 the CHEO Foundation received $540,000 from his estate. The Foundation established the Weldon Cochrane Endowment Fund with his gift as directed in his Will. Much has happened and changed at CHEO in the nearly 30 years since Mr. Cochrane’s death, and in that time his legacy gift has generated $4.6 million in interest which has benefited generations of patients and families at CHEO. In 25 years from now based on a conservative interest rate of 6% The Cochrane Endowment Fund will be valued at $19,742,605; in 50 years it will be $84,732,710 and in 100 years it will have reached $1,560,789,584.

THE IMPACT OF MR. COCHRANE’S GENEROUS GIFT IS PROBABLY BEYOND WHAT HE COULD HAVE EVEN IMAGINED WHEN HE MADE IT OVER 30 YEARS AGO. HIS LEGACY LIVES ON AND CONTINUES TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF YOUNG PATIENTS AT CHEO TODAY, AND FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. In 1980, when the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) was only just 11 years old, Weldon Cochrane, an Ottawa chartered accountant and partner with the accounting firm of Coopers and Lybrand (now PriceWaterhouseCoopers) was also the Treasurer on the CHEO Foundation Board. Mr. Cochrane had an appreciation for the importance of leaving a legacy and understood how to make an impact. With that in mind, he made a gift in his Will to CHEO leaving the residual of his estate with instructions for it to be endowed; meaning that the capital would be preserved in perpetuity and the annual interest would be used to fund the important work at CHEO. He was predeceased by his wife, Adrienne Cochrane and his only child, Delma Grace Cochrane.

With these funds CHEO will be able to continue to purchase state of the art equipment, fund lifesaving research while continuing to provide the best in pediatric care for the children and youth of our community. His legacy lives on at CHEO every day through the children and families that benefit from his generous and forward thinking.

As CHEO marks this major milestone, we look back and honor those in our community who made our local children’s hospital a reality and donors like Mr. Cochrane who made children a priority in their lives.

Donors like him have helped to ensure that CHEO will be here forever. Why not honour what is most important to you during your lifetime by considering a gift in Will to CHEO. Our children, youth and families deserve to always have excellent health care, to benefit from lifesaving research and be provided with the support programs to live happy and healthy lives now and forever.

WHAT IS FOREVER CHEO?

Forever CHEO is a way to ensure that CHEO will always be here to provide excellent care, lifesaving research and invaluable support to children and their families every day by making a gift from your estate.

When you leave a gift in your Will to CHEO you have the option of designating it to address immediate needs within the Hospital, the Research Institute or the Forever CHEO Endowment Fund.

This fund will preserve the full amount of your gift and disperse the interest to CHEO annually. Since the fund will live on in perpetuity, so will your gift to future generations of children at CHEO. This is a way to leave a permanent and meaningful mark on your community.

RVCA posts flood warnings for Ottawa Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

News - Rising water levels in streams and rivers in the Ottawa area kept the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority on its toes and waterfront residents nervous during the past week.

Watches and warnings were posted following last week’s heavy rainfall and warm temperatures, with flooding reported in lowlying areas along the Rideau River, including Old Ottawa South and Vanier.

The Rideau River flooded portions of Riverain Park, Brewer Park and Windsor Park starting on April 8. Much further south, flooding was reported near Kemptville, as the Manotick and Long Island dams were opened to capacity, in order to pass as much water as possible.

The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority issued a flood warning on April 10, covering the period of the following 48 hours. The lingering effects of a long, cold winter created the con-

ditions for flooding once spring-like conditions arrived, stated the authority.

“The presence of an unusually thick and strong ice sheet on area rivers and streams has been a significant factor affecting water STEPH Willems/Metroland levels in many locations The Rideau River flooded parts of Old Ottawa South, including submerging the corner of Rideau River Drive and during this spring freshet,” Belmont Avenue on April 11. an April 10 release stated.

As well, deep frost left over from winter increased the amount of runoff into streams and rivers due to lower levels of absorption.

The RVCA asks people living near waterways to take precautions to minimize any damage caused by flooding, and to be cautious when venturing near flooded areas.

The Ottawa River, which draws most of its water from colder areas further north, experiences flooding later than the more southerly Rideau, though water levels have been rising steadily since April 7.

A potential rainfall event forecast for the early part of this week is expected to raise water levels further.

Wildlife refuge wins licence to care for wild animals Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - Five years ago, Lynne Rowe first had the idea of developing a wildlife sanctuary in Dunrobin – a place where injured and orphaned mammals could recuperate before being released back into the wild.

Font_PalatinoLinotype_Bold She almost gave up on her dream after yearsLocation_MyriadPro_Bold of submitting applications for the proper licensing, going TYPEcase OUTLINED through a ALL court for unlawfully keeping wildlife on her property, and thousands of hours and dollars spent bringing her land up to code.

She was ready to toss in the towel and call the whole thing off.

“I had really mixed feelings,” Rowe said. “Part of me was resigned to giving up.”

But she didn’t.

And in early March, the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources granted Rowe approval to care for wildlife.

“It’s really satisfying to see it become official and move forward,” she said.

The ministry’s authorization is for one year and inspectors will be monitoring the facility to ensure the rules are being followed, said ministry spokeswoman Jolanta Kowalski.

“We’ve reviewed and discussed the conditions,” she said. “We’ve decided that we will now authorize them for one year with limited – an emphasis on limited – authorizations.”

Rowe is approved to care for certain types of small mammals, as well as deer. She is limited to a total of 20 animals, with a maximum of five deer, said Kowalski.

“Authorized wildlife rehabilitators provide a wonderful service to the residents of Ontario,” she said, adding that many who work in the field volunteer their time to care for

West Carleton Review

the animals.

“It’s a crucial service. We do really applaud the people who do follow their authorizations and do this extra work for wildlife.”

Rowe, who works four days a week at the Sandy Hill Community Health Centre, plans to officially open the wildlife portion of the sanctuary this May. She wants to finish some additional renovations before accepting animals into her care; there is a need for electrical-system upgrades to the clinic and proper wildlife formulas and medications.

“We’re licensed to do it now, but we’re not physically ready,” she said. “We want to do what’s best for the wild animals.

“We want to do things right.”

The Constance Creek Wildlife Refuge is one of a few licensed wildlife centres in the city. The Wild Bird Care Centre deals exclusively in fowls, Ray’s Reptiles focuses on cold-blooded creatures, and the Rideau Valley Wildlife Sanctuary in North Gower accepts wild mammals and turtles.

Heather Badenoch, a volunteer board member with the Rideau Valley sanctuary, said having two wildlife centres will help increase the capacity and number of mammals helped every year.

“There are times in the year when we have to close intake, but that doesn’t happen often,” she said.

“We have the same goals, of course, to save wildlife.”

Last year, the Rideau Valley centre took in more than 720 wild mammals and turtles after increasing its own capacity thanks to a number of donations, grants and volunteers.

“It was our busiest year ever,” said Badenoch. “We definitely used all of that capacity.”

Rowe said if all goes well this year, she’s hoping to apply to expand

She says she hopes to begin taking in small mammals and fawns this May. Here, Rowe shows off some of the squirrel enclosures that will be used. her wildlife licence in the future.

“We want to establish our reputation first,” she said, adding she’s just happy the licensing has been approved and the refuge is moving forward. “It’ll be so exciting to finally be licensed and ready to go.”

MISTAKES AND SUCCESSES

Before becoming licensed, Rowe dialled back her latest application to the ministry and removed rabiesspectre species, such as raccoons, foxes, skunks and bats, which require more capacity and specialized care.

The ministry accepted her simpli-

fied submission. Rowe is now approved to care for small mammals – squirrels, chipmunks, groundhogs and rabbits (hares and cottontails) – as well as deer.

Fittingly, it was a fawn that kickstarted Rowe’s dream of a wildlife refuge after someone brought one to her in 2009. At that time, the closest sanctuary that accepted deer was in Napanee.

“I learned how few wildlife centres there were,” said Rowe. “I started to think about opening my own. I started doing research and found out how huge the need was here.”

According to the City of Ottawa, there are at least 1,000 collisions be-

tween wildlife and vehicles reported every year, “more than any other area in Ontario.”

Rowe acquired her charity licence and wrote the wildlife care exams in 2009. She then began to look into what was needed to take care of wild animals on her property – which also serves as a sanctuary to abandoned and unwanted farm animals.

Her neighbour, Dr. Anne Downes, stepped forward to volunteer her veterinary services for the wildlife centre. Downes teaches the veterinarian technician program at Algonquin College.

Wildlife sanctuaries rely on donations Continued from page 33

The Queensway West Animal Hospital has also offered to work with Rowe.

Rowe and a number of volunteers built a fenced enclosure on her four-hectare property in preparation to accept fawns to keep them away from the farm animals and potential human interaction. She accepted donations of chain-link fencing and caged enclosures for small mammals.

She submitted her application to the Ministry of Natural Resources. Things were starting to come together, but she still hadn’t received her licence.

Then, in the fall of 2011, she hit another roadblock. Someone brought her two abandoned baby raccoons. Feeling she had no other option at the time, she took the animals in and cared for them.

“I did make the choice to help the raccoons, to keep them from dying,” she said at the time. “What’s ironic is that I keep these animals because everywhere else in the province is full.”

Ottawa bylaw filed a report to the ministry after they investigated an incident when

Two wildlife centres will increase the capacity to help animals in need, such as these two orphaned eastern grey squirrels, according to a spokesperson for the Rideau Valley Wildlife Sanctuary.

Submitted

two domestic donkeys briefly escaped their enclosure. Contractors were installing a chain link fence for the wild animal compound and they moved an existing fence, which allowed the donkeys to escape.

The ministry raided Rowe’s property and charged her for possession of wildlife without authorization. The raccoons had to be euthanized because proper procedures weren’t followed, said ministry spokeswoman Kowalski at the time.

“The animals had been grouped together, which should not be done,” said Kowalski.

“There was no documentation as to where they came from

and there was a potential threat of disease. Euthanizing could have been avoided if proper procedures had been followed.”

Rowe was fined and the court case resolved in early 2012, she said, adding she was also fined once before the raid for keeping wildlife on her property.

After that, when people called with wildlife emergencies, Rowe had to tell them she couldn’t help until she had a licence in hand.

“Learning to say ‘No’ was a big thing,” Rowe said. “Those few months were just horrible.

I reassessed and tried to learn from the experience.”

She kept working away.

She didn’t give up.

“I think it’s important I made mistakes,” she said. “I am so hugely grateful for all the volunteers who have stuck with me through it all. That, I think, is the main thing that kept me going forward. If I hadn’t had that, I don’t think I could have continued.”

HELPING HANDS

Rowe has a core group of volunteers who have helped fix up the centre, cared for the farm animals, and taken the training needed to staff a wildlife hotline, which will start taking calls within the next month, she said. The group is also helping prepare the property for the official opening this spring.

Now that she is licensed, Rowe is hoping to find some volunteers with event management and fundraising experience to help keep the Constance

Creek Wildlife Refuge in the black.

Since deciding to open a refuge on her property, Rowe has used up tens of thousands of her own money along with $20,000 in one-time grant money to build fencing and housing for wildlife.

All the centre’s expenses are paid by donations and grants; no funding is provided by government.

“It’s a struggle to both do proper care and fundraise,” said Rowe. “I would love to find volunteers with event experience for fundraising. We need monthly donors to help cover ongoing expenses.”

Finding money to keep wildlife centres running can be a challenge.

“If we get more people who donate $5 or $10 a month, if we get 50 people to do that, we’ll have a base amount of money to work with every month,” said Rowe. “It makes us a much more stable organization.”

It costs her around $700 a month to operate the farm animal sanctuary and she expects

the wildlife refuge to add a few hundred dollars to the bill.

Rowe does run an educational summer camp for youth, which helps bring in a little extra cash. Campers learn about animal welfare and receive hands-on experience with the farm animals. The camps have been doing so well, Rowe hired a summer student.

“It’s one of our big success stories,” she said.

Now she will have another success story when the refuge officially opens.

“It is really important for me in my life that I’m contributing to my community in some way,” Rowe said. “I’m looking forward to working with the community. I’m looking forward to sharing what I’ve learned and the good news stories.

“I’m stubborn. I didn’t give up. Fortunately, it’s working out.”

Rideau Trail association hosts intro to hiking course One-day workshop could be first step along pathway to Kingston Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - The Rideau Trail Association is calling on the city’s hikers to help demystify the activity and get people out on the trails.

“With an experienced leader, you’re not going to lose your way,” said club president Sheila Parry.

The association is hosting

a one-day workshop at the Walter Baker Sports Centre on May 3. It’s aimed at helping new hikers make their experience safe and enjoyable.

Topics will include planning, preparation, packing, outfitting and on-trail procedures.

The day will end with a guided hike.

“If you’re a novice hiker, this course will give you the know-how for choosing equipment, avoiding problems, and dealing with situations that may arise on the trail,” Ruth Oswald, one of the instructors, said.

There are three clubs that maintain the 387-kilometre Rideau Trail that runs from Kingston to Parliament

Hill. On the way to the capital, it passes through Merrickville and Smiths Falls.

Ethel Archard, who handles the Ottawa club’s communications, said the three clubs boast 800 members – with about half coming from the Ottawa area.

She said maintenance to the trail can include clearing away trash or brush and making sure all the routes are as safe as possible. In some cases it will include the installation of boardwalks to make trails easier.

“Things like that would often be done in partnership with conservation authorities or the NCC (National Capital Commission),” Archard said.

The association hosts group hikes and other events throughout the year. Annual membership is $25 for an individual and $40 for a household.

Archard said there are a variety of different trails depending on the hiker’s experience.

“The terrains vary quite a bit along the trail,” she said, adding Ottawans could either go for a leisurely walk through the woods or a tramp through challenging terrain.

A west-bound Via Rail train sits derailed near Fallowfield Station in Barrhaven after an OC Transpo double-decker bus collided with it on Sept. 18.

Stopping OC Transpo buses at rail crossing less safe: study City will install new rail crossing gates to protect buses in Kanata, south Ottawa Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - New gates will be added at four suburban rail crossings but no other changes are needed to OC Transpo’s policies for traversing train tracks, according to a report.

OC Transpo bus operators are not required to stop at rail crossings unless the signals are flashing to indicate a train is approaching, and engineers fromconsultant MMM Group have told the city it’s safest to keep that policy.The review was ordered by OC Transpo after a collision between an OC Transpo bus and a Via train on the morning of Sept. 18, 2013, that killed six people, including the bus driver.

Based on 30-year-old research from the United States and a review of literature and policies of other

municipalities, the report from MMM Group tells the city it could actually expect a 17.4 per cent increase in collisions where trains hit OC Transpo buses if the city required buses to stop at all rail crossings.

“Intuitively, many people think that requiring buses to stop at inactive crossings equipped with active protection would offer some safety advantage,” said Geoffrey Millen of MMM Group.

“The reality, however, is that there does not appear to be any quantitative evidence indicating that stopping transit buses at these crossings improves road safety performance. Quite to the contrary – the literature indicates that stopping these buses at appropriately equipped crossings will likely result in more collisions overall.”

Requiring buses to stop at

rail crossings could also increase vehicle-vehicle collisions, Millen said, especially rear-end crashes. Vehiclevehicle collisions are already five times more likely near rail crossings, Millen said.

Millen’s review found that municipalities across Canada are split on whether to always require buses to stop at protected crossings. Among major cities, Toronto and Montreal require buses to stop. It’s also part of Quebec’s provincial traffic laws.

The report was set to be considered at the April 16 transit commission meeting and includes a recommendation that OC Transpo buses only use fully signalled rail crossings. As a result, OC Transpo will spend between $200,000 and $400,000 to add gates to four crossings that currently have only lights, but no gates: Herzberg and March roads in Kanata, and Lester and McCarthy roads in the city’s south end.

Currently, OC Transpo pol-

R0022640077/0417

STUDY

Millen’s main recommendation rests on research undertaken by the U.S. Federal Highway Administration in 1985.

Millen said the 30-year-old document is the only real research on the topic related to public-transit buses and the study would be hard to replicate in Canada because there may not be enough data, not to mention the study would be huge and require a great deal of resources.

Although making buses stop would increase the risk of trains colliding with buses, it would reduce collisions in which buses hit trains by 3.3 per cent.

Stopping buses would also address risks associated with total rail crossing signal failures.

The incidence of total signal failures in Ottawa wasn’t studied, Millen said. Deputy city manager Steve Kanellakos said he’s not aware of any total signal failures in Ottawa, at least since the Sept. 18 collision.

Via Rail did not respond to a request for information about signal failures or how they are tracked.

Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder said that’s because Via doesn’t keep track of signal glitches – the Crown corporation relies on the public to call them to report signal malfunctions. “(The city) can adjust every light in the city from (the traffic control centre),” Harder said. “And yet these guys can’t tell when one of their pieces of equipment fails? ...

Although there have been about a dozen highly-publicized signal glitches at Ottawa rail crossings, Harder said the issues happen almost daily and have been going on since Via upgraded signals in 2012.

“The public are just so used to it. We can’t go anywhere without crossing a track,” Harder said.

“People are making more noise about it because they probably don’t feel as safe as they used to because we had a

In May 2012, the federal government approved $16 million in signal upgrades for the rail crossings in Barrhaven as part of a plan to increase train speeds and ensure safety at those crossings, according to a letter from local MP Pierre Polievre.

“Since that time, we’ve had a rash of problems,” Harder said. “Don’t think that for a minute when ... anybody says that a crossing is down in Barrhaven again that that’s it. It’s a growing list.”

OC Transpo buses regularly traverse 20 of the 75 rail crossings in the city.

At one time the city did have a policy to stop OC Transpo buses at all rail crossings. That procedure came into effect in 1988 following a lobbying effort by the school board, which argued it was an issue of safety due to perception of consistency with school bus procedures, said Pat Scrimgeour, OC Transpo’s manager of transit service planning.

That policy was rescinded in 1992 after discussions with Transport Canada related to re-timing of the signal activity to make the signals more consistent.

City Councillor, Kanata north TREE REMOVAL An 8-acre site at Terry Fox and the Old Second Line is being prepared so that it could be used for an elementary school. This involved removing trees from a portion of the site so geotechnical work can be undertaken and a site plan prepared. Part of the site is being retained as natural forest for future students to undertake environmental studies. This site is within an approved draft subdivision approved by Council in 2003 and is already zoned for a school. April 15th was the deadline for tree removal in order not to interfere with bird nesting. Under the City’s wildlife strategy, nesting boxes are being placed in locations for small mammals to use and openings left for larger animals to relocate. Once the subdivision is built, this school will be in a residential area.

Tree removal has also commenced between Earl of March High School and Campeau Drive for construction of an addition of 24 rooms plus gymnasium for Grade 7 & 8 students. Construction will be underway this summer.

CANADA POST Beaverbrook residents are invited to the KBCA AGM, Thursday, April 24th at 7 pm in the Beaverbrook Community Centre, to discuss where post box locations should be located. To see preliminary locations, go to http://tiny.cc/CanadaPostKanata and view the Power Point Excel list that has photographs of homes with the preliminary box locations shown. If you have questions you can contact Canada Post’s representative at wayne.beaton@ canadapost.postescanada.ca.

BEAVERBROOK HERITAGE DISTRICT Last Thursday I made a presentation to the Built-Heritage Committee of the City to outline reasons for designating Beaverbrook as a Heritage District and the process that needs to be followed to do so. Bill Teron, the ‘Father’ of Kanata was present along with his son Chris, KBCA President Gary Sealey and others. The Committee was impressed with the Kanata Concept for a Garden City and how Beaverbrook was suitable for Heritage District designation. The Committee indicated support for a detailed analysis and public consultation to be undertaken over the next year.

The Heritage Designation does not stop changes from happening.

Anything from an addition to a home to a large apartment building could still occur. What it will do is ensure that the Garden City Concepts are followed in any development so that the overall community nature is maintained.

A public meeting to describe the process will be held in a few months, once a Steering Committee is set up to organize the consultation. Anyone interested in being on the Steering Committee should contact my office.

COMMUNITY NOTICES Potholes! The City, by last week, had filled 98,000 potholes and more are to be done.

“I have been asked in the past to participate in fashion shows, but never thought it was worth it,” Wilson said.

“But this is all about showcasing our local businesses.

This is about bringing people to the neighbourhood and we felt it was a great idea.”

Wilson’s dresses will be modelled by both professional models and brides-to-be who have recently purchased dresses at the Beechwood Avenue shop.

“I’ve never done this before, but I think it’s going to be a lot of fun,” said Glebe bride-to-be Marianne Wouters, who was at Wilson’s shop after a dress fitting for the fashion show.

Fellow model and brideto-be Jolène Savoir said she too is excited to step on the runway at the show.

Both women said they jumped at the chance to participate.

“I have been to a couple other bridal shops in this city and Kim’s shop is by far the best,” Wouters said. “It’s a great, comfortable shop to

look for your dress.”

The show will also feature musicians, including Aboriginal drumming and a Lebanese dancing group.

“We wanted to showcase the best of what Vanier merchants have to offer,” said stage manager Marie-Claude Valiquet.

The big draw is that anyone who attends the show has the chance to win an all-expenses-paid wedding.

Anyone who attends that is getting married within the next 18 months will automatically be entered in the contest.

The old location of the Centretown community police centre on Somerset Street was abandoned in 2012 in favour of a second-floor office inside city hall. thoughts were not enthused about more potential closures.

Gloucester-Southgate Coun.

Diane Deans, whose ward is served by the Herongate community police officer, said she wasn’t included in the decision to close the centre, which is technically in Coun. Peter Hume’s Alta Vista Ward.

But if Deans has her way, the closure won’t last long – she is working with the police to

move the centre into an Ottawa Community Housing building in her ward’s Heatherington neighbourhood, at 1455 Heatherington Rd. “I just think there is some value in having that presence in that neighbourhood,” Deans said.

The news that the police were planning to look at closing more centres came as an unpleasant surprise to the

councillor.

“It surprises me a little bit,” Deans said. “It’s not intuitive to me that they wouldn’t be valuable, but we’ll listen to what they have to say.”

Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury, whose community cherishes their two community police officers, was also caught off guard.

News - Upon learning the police are planning to review whether community police centres are still necessary, city councillors are calling for them to be saved.

News that the Ottawa Police Service is planning a review of how best to deliver community policing services – including whether the city’s 15 bricksand-mortar centres need to be part of that function – came as a surprise to many city councillors.

The matter came to light after residents in the Herongate neighbourhood noticed the sign on their community police centre at Cedarwood Drive coming down. In fact, the centre had been temporarily closed for months due to health and safety issues at the facility, said Supt.

Ty Cameron, and it had been slated for permanent closure a month ago.

Community police officer Const. Rebecca Vanderwater’s role hasn’t changed and she will continue to work in the community, Cameron said.

The issue prompted Cameron to consider whether a broader review of community police centres is warranted.

That process is just getting underway and will likely continue into next year and the community will have plenty of chance to weigh in, Cameron said.

Need for centres questioned by officer Continued from page 44

“I was surprised by that announcement or news,” said Fleury, who was concerned and called police Chief Charles Bordeleau.

Fleury said he was assured the role of the community police officers is not being reconsidered – just the need for physical centres.

Cameron said the centres have been getting less and less drop-in traffic over the years as times change and a lot of reporting functions and information are now available online.

“I don’t think people feel there is a need for it,” Cameron said, referring to the bricks-and-mortar centres.

The centres cost around $180,000

to operate annually, Cameron said.

If a space is still needed, Cameron said the police could look at co-locating with other services like the community health centres. In Manotick, the community police centre was moved to the local firehall last year because the office space it was renting became too expensive.

Somerset Coun. Diane Holmes said the move was not out of character because police have long been setting community police centres up for failure.

“In my opinion they have never really believed in these community police centres,” she said. “There really has never been an interest in community-based policing.”

While other police services like Edmonton’s make an effort to involve community members in their work, including having volunteers help take reports on things like stolen bicycles, Ottawa’s police service has been reticent to give civilians access to things like their computer system, Holmes said. review valuable

A review of how community policing is conducted is a good idea, Holmes said, but instead of focusing on closing centres, it should look at how to best provide that service.

“Redesign the rationale for those police. How can they help the com-

munity? How can they get more volunteers in?” Holmes said.

In her ward, the move to “bury” the local centre in a second-floor office at city hall “isn’t helpful,” Holmes said.

“I can’t imagine people could find it,” she said. “They need to be atgrade, in a community. The police service doesn’t want to pay that rent, even though they have one of the biggest budgets in the city.”

Vanier residents discussed the news of Community Police Centres closing at the Vanier Community Association meeting on April 8. Though the idea of closing the centres was not welcome by residents, some felt the current set-up is not working as well as it could be.

Some association members said the business hours at the centre are unclear and simply dropping by the centre is not always the best action.

“I think we need to put those centre to better use,” said board member Rose Anne Leonard. “There needs to be more activities, have them open for the community to use them.”

Leonard said the most important thing to a community is the officer, and the work between residents and the officer, and that should be the major goal.

We want community engagement to make our neighbourhood better, that is what it’s about, we shouldn’t be trapped into just talking about a building, Leonard said.

April is Daffodil Month Community - Last year, the lives of more than 187,000 Canadians changed when they were diagnosed with cancer. It’s for this reason the Canadian Cancer Society raises funds and aware-

ness by asking Canadians to support its Daffodil Month campaign every April.

The society asks the public to help support them by making a donation at any of the more than 635 LCBO

arcadia in kanata north

stores throughout Ontario.

Coin and daffodil pin boxes will be displayed at LCBO checkout counters until April 26.

The funds raised through donations for daffodil pins

will enable the society to continue in its mission to eradicate cancer and enhance the lives of people living with cancer. The society does this by fighting all cancers on multiple fronts, including research, advocacy, prevention, information and support.

“LCBO’s provincewide network of stores and sup-

chapman mills in barrhaven

portive staff will help the Canadian Cancer Society raise funds for the fight against cancer and increase public awareness of our impact in communities throughout Ontario,” says Susan Drodge, director, corporate and community partnerships, Canadian Cancer Society.

“We appreciate the support we receive from LCBO, its

employees and especially its customers.”

The society is one of 28 provincial and numerous local charities that will benefit from LCBO’s provincewide donation box program in 2014. In 2012, the board’s outlets raised more than $6.6 million for charities through special programs and initiatives.

Main streets building height review tops to-do list Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

Moser said the department will soon be updating the types of consultations it undertakes as new consultation “toolkits” are rolled out. The toolkits are the result of a city consultation and review of public engagement strategies that was conducted last year.

“Last year we did all kinds of things we hadn’t done before. Some of them worked, some of them didn’t,” Moser said. “We’ll continue to have new ways of consulting so – no disrespect – we don’t continue to get the same five people out to a consultation.”

Part of that consultation might look at revising the target timelines the city has set for processing development applications. A deadline of 75 days for the planning department was set around a dozen years ago, but in some development categories the city only hits that deadline for as little as 19 per cent of applications.

Part of the issue is that development applications have become increasingly complex over the past 12 years, said Michael Mizzi, the city’s chief of development review services.

The introduction of the Urban

Design Review Panel in 2010 has also added another hurdle to the process, he said.

In light of that, Mizzi said his staff is considering whether the deadlines are still realistic.

“We might need to look at changing the target figure to be more realistic in today’s planning environment,” he said.

Planning department 2013 by the numbers

• 113 public consultations

• 641 planning applications received; 243 approved (the remainder of the applications were rejected, cancelled, on hold or remain in approval process) • 93,752 building inspections processed • Building permits worth $2.4 billion in construction value processed • 68 submissions reviewed by the urban design review panel • 25 heritage applications reviewed • 20 new parks built.

News - Decisions made by the city’s planning department aren’t always popular, but they are well-informed, said general manager John Moser as he outlined the land-use policy projects his staff will tackle in 2014.

He presented a list of projects the department will undertake in 2014, including which communities and main streets will get new plans to guide future development.

Following on the heels of the updated Official Plan approved last fall, the city will review 32 zoning bylaws that will need updating in order to implement the goals of the plan.

In the city’s central area, zoning bylaw update projects that will get underway in 2014 include: a review of building heights allowed in the Billings Bridge mixed-use centre, an implementation policy for permitted uses on Main Street

in Old Ottawa East, as well as building height and permitted uses reviews for traditional main streets including Gladstone Avenue, Somerset Street, Bronson Avenue, Preston Street, Dalhousie Street and McArthur Avenue.

Of the nine community design plans set to be completed in 2014, CDPs for Scott Street, Gladstone Station, PrestonCarling, uptown Rideau Street and the former Rockcliffe air base are on the list.

Last year, the city drafted three new transit-oriented design plans for communities at Hurdman, Blair and Lees stations. Community design plans for Bayview station, Centretown and Phase 2 of the east urban community were also approved, as was an updated secondary plan for Montreal Road.

A review of the height and mass allowed for small-scale infill homes inside the Greenbelt is expected to wrap up this spring. The city will also undertake a citywide project

looking at building density indexing.

The city is also looking at developing an online permit and license system called EPal intended to ease the process of applying for development and other permits.

That’s in addition to a few studies that are already underway and will wrap up in 2014, including: defining heights for mid-rise and high-rise buildings, drafting a policy for secondary dwellings in townhomes, updating floodplain and wetlands mapping and reviewing maximum sizes for office buildings more than 800 metres away from a transit station.

City planning staff have been undergoing additional training, Moser said. Fifteen people have now completed an urban design certificate program, while five more planners were certified as LEED Green Associates, bringing the city’s total of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design experts to 17.

Ninety staff members in the planning department also received training on how to better communicate with the public and present ideas.

WHAT IS YOUR SIGNATURE DISH? So many to choose from, I like our veal Picata, it’s so tender you can cut it with a fork. We only use best loins money can buy and serve with a side of fresh pasta and a combination of crispy market vegetables. On the other hand my brother likes our Cannelloni. Like all of our dishes, this dish is made with home-made pasta rolled out and stuffed with braised milk-fed veal, baked with Bolognese sauce and mozzarella. Another favourite is our linguine di Pesce which includes sautéed scallops, tiger shrimps, mussels, white wine, garlic, and your choice of tomato or cream sauce.

GUILTY PLEASURE? Our home made gluten free chocolate cake is to die for, or our dream-bomba which is a peanut butter gelato surrounding a caramel center and covered with an outer layer of chocolate or our house specialty tiramisu along with a fresh ground cappuccino.

PEOPLE ARE SURPRISED TO KNOW? How good our pizza is, maybe because we are a fine dining restaurant and people that don’t know our history or don’t realize that our parents owned one of Ottawa’s first pizzerias in the west end.

Our parents have been serving the best since 1973.

The other surprise for first-time customers is how pleasant, elegant and inviting our restaurant is.

We are located in an easily-accessed strip mall and people don’t expect our high level of restaurant service and are pleasantly surprised. We can’t control misconceptions from outward appearance but we can sure control the mood and atmosphere on the inside.

FAVORITE QUOTE? “We believe in what we create.”

SECRET TO YOUR SUCCESS? It’s love, passion and the commitment to our craft that equals success and being able to recognize and appreciate and our clients and friends. We are owner-operated from the kitchen to the front of the

DON’T LEAVE YOUR BUSINESS WITHOUT TRYING? Our house Salad dressing, our meatballs, our Zucchini and of course our home made Ravioli appetizer.

HOW DID YOU START YOUR BUSINESS?

We started our business November 1993 and are celebrating our 20th anniversary in Stittsville.

My brother Milad and I grew up in the restaurant Industry and we decided to branch out on our own along with our spouses and open in Stittsville.

We had big ideas, passion and a good work ethic.

We took over an existing but closed restaurant and made it into something wonderful. Here we are today, still full of excitement, energy and new ideas that make us a desirable restaurant and a destination spot in the community.

Ronny has solution for panic over loose tooth

W

hy my cousins from Montreal were with us that time of year was beyond me.

Ronny and Terry had come with Aunt Helen, who promptly went home on the train as soon as their clothes were unpacked. So it looked like they were going to be with us out on the farm for a while, long enough that Ronny would go off to the Northcote School, while Terry, the youngest, would stay home with Mother.

Even though Ronny was a force to contend with, I loved it when the Lapointe cousins visited us on the farm. There was never a dull moment.

That early Spring morning, a Saturday it was, I woke with a front tooth in the bottom of my mouth hanging by a thread. I could feel it with my tongue, and I fled my bed like I was on my way to the gallows. Mother was already in the kitchen stirring porridge.

I pointed to the tooth, vowed I was on my death bed, and by that time had woken the entire household

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories who still had not gotten up.

Mother looked in my mouth and lifted her hand as if she was about to perform surgery, and I clamped my mouth shut tight, still screaming at the top of my lungs.

Ronny came downstairs into the kitchen, immediately knew what all the fuss was about, and announced that he was completely capable of getting rid of the tooth, and I wouldn’t feel a thing. “I get rid of Terry’s all the time,” he said. Terry, still groggy, and too young to know what was going on, curled up on the creton couch by the Findlay Oval and promptly fell back to sleep.

Ronny went to the cupboard, got out the ball of string, and ripped off a good portion and said he would make a loop over the tooth,

I would sit on a chair, and he would walk slowly to the back door, hanging on to the other end of the string, and the tooth would be gone.

“You won’t feel a thing,” he said. Well, the last time Ronny experimented with me and one of his high fallootin’ ideas, I flew off the shed roof holding an open umbrella and had a splint on my leg for two weeks.

Mother was working away at making breakfast for Father and the brothers, who would soon be coming in from the morning chores, and she was paying absolutely no attention to Ronny or me and the seriousness of what was going on around her.

I was still crying, with my mouth clamped tight as if my lips had been glued with mucilage.

I could wobble the tooth with my tongue, and as far as I was concerned, I was ready to be taken in to old Dr. Murphy. Forget going to the dentist. I remembered the one and only time any of us ever went to a real dentist, it cost $3, and my sister Audrey who was the victim, said he nearly killed her.

I knew being driven almost 20 kilometres into Renfrew to have a wobbly tooth removed by Dr. Murphy was out of the question, and I finally agreed to let Ronny look in my mouth. ‘won’t feel a thing’

“You won’t feel a thing,” Ronny said, as he neared my chair with the ball of string.

“For goodness sake, Mary, the tooth is just hanging there. Let Ronny do what he has to do so I can get the breakfast on the table.

This commotion over a baby tooth is ridiculous,” Mother said as she banged the porridge pot on the Findlay Oval, stirring with a wooden spoon.

Making the most of the situation, and adding as

much drama as he could muster, Ronny said he would go as far away as the parlour door to pull the string. “That way you won’t know when I am going to do it.”

As he neared my mouth, I told him I would put the string around the tooth, and he reluctantly handed me the ball made up of pieces we had retrieved from parcels bought at Briscoes General Store.

All the time I was pressing my tongue against the offending tooth, and I could tell it had loosened considerably. And then just as Ronny headed for the parlour, unrolling the string as he went, I felt the tooth lying in the bottom of my mouth. No longer was it a loose tooth – it was now a tooth that had come out on its own, with the help of my tongue.

I didn’t have the heart to tell Ronny it was all over. I had a good hold of the end of the string, and told Ronny I was ready. Ronny jerked the string like he was pulling turnips, and I let it fall to the floor and had the presence of mind to drop the tooth at my feet.

Ronny skated around the corner of the kitchen, saw the string and the tooth laying on the floor, and puffed up his chest like had just discovered America.

“Told you it wouldn’t hurt.

You probably have other teeth that are ready to come out too. Let me have a look.”

Well, there was no way I was going to let Ronny pull a perfectly good tooth out of my mouth. No sireee.

Mother saved the day by telling us if we didn’t get to the table at once for breakfast, she was clearing the kitchen, and we would all have to wait for dinner at noon for our next mouthful of food.

Ronny took the tooth between his thumb and finger, looked it over, and said “I don’t want to be a general any more. I think I will be a dentist!”

Community - Residents who want to save money, care for their gardens and protect the environment know that rain barrels help meet all three goals.

Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind is now accepting pre-sale orders as part of

their truckload Rain Barrel Sale. This fundraising event is scheduled for May 3 at the National Training Centre, 4120 Rideau Valley Dr. North, in Manotick. Rain barrels are $60 each and orders must be placed in advance of the sale.

You can order now, either online at www.RainBarrel.ca/ guidedogs or by calling 613692-7777.

Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind provides guide dogs and training on how to use the dog’s services to clients who have mobility issues.

Proceeds from this rain barrel sale will go towards the training of guide dogs and assistance dogs to help those in need.

Rain barrels capture and store chlorine-free and fluoride-free rain water from a home’s downspouts, making it

larly during the dry summer months.

When ordering in advance of the sale, purchasers select the colour and model of their rain barrel, and add any accessories, such as downspout diverters and rain barrel stands.

Each barrel is equipped with all the parts needed to put it together, so it can be collecting water in no time at all.

0410.R0022634224

Rain barrels are a ‘dog-gone’ good idea

ideal for flowers, vegetables, lawns, shrubs and trees. Collected water can also be used to wash cars, clean floors, and even do laundry.

These many uses can provide cost savings to every resident, especially those who pay to have water trucked in, use a well or have a water meter installed. They can also provide water conservation opportunities, particu-

Preparation

Rhubarb filling: In a

medium saucepan, bring the rhubarb and granulated sugar to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes or until it has thickened and the rhubarb breaks down, stirring occasionally. Let it cool. (Make ahead: store in an airtight container for up to one day or freeze for up to two weeks.)

Cakes: Grease and flour a 12-cup, non-stick muffin pan and set it aside.

Open the tea bags and pour the leaves into small bowl.

Pour boiling water over the leaves and let stand for five minutes.

Strain the leaves, reserving half. Add the milk to the tea and set aside.

In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy, then beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Beat in the vanilla and the reserved tea leaves.

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Stir this into the butter mixture alternately with the tea mixture, making three additions of dry ingredients and two of wet.

Spoon the mixture into prepared muffin cups.

Bake in a 180 C (350 F) oven for about 20 minutes or until cake tester inserted in

centre comes out clean.

Let cool in a pan on a rack for 10 minutes.

Run knife around edges and remove the cakes from the pan. Place the cakes upside down on rack and let cool. (Make ahead: store cakes in an airtight container for up to one day or freeze for up to two weeks.)

Rhubarb glaze: In a food processor or blender, puree 50 ml (1/4 cup) of the cooled, cooked rhubarb until it’s smooth.

Add the icing sugar and cream cheese and puree until smooth, adding milk, 5 ml (1 tsp) at a time, until it’s pourable.

Trim the tops of the cakes to sit flat. Cut each cake in half. Spread the cut side of the bottom with 15 ml (1 tbsp) of the rhubarb filling. Place remaining half, cut side down, on top.

Place cakes upside down on plates.

Pour glaze over top of each cake, letting excess drip down sides. Let stand for 30 minutes for glaze to set.

Developers could be tapped to build city parks Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

File

Deborah Rosenlund is seen with plans for a park near Manotick to named after her father, Major William Ross Chamberlain.City planners are might recommend that the city stop building its own parks in the suburbs and instead let developers do the work themselves. is something Moser and his staff are considering proposing to the city’s planning committee and council next month. While it’s just one part of a larger review of how the city collects fees to cover the cost of expand-

ing services to accommodate development, it would be the most significant shift, Moser said.

R0012622036

News - The city is looking at getting out of the business of building new suburban parks and instead letting developers do the work.

That’s a proposal being looked at as part of an internal review of the city’s development charges bylaw. Developers already pay for the parks to be built – it’s part of the charge for development, which covers the construction of new infrastructure and facilities needed to support the larger population when a new development goes in.

Now the city is questioning whether it makes more sense to let builders take the lead in planning and constructing parks in a schedule that better suits their plans for building new communities, mainly in the suburbs.

“Should the city continue to collect development charges for parks, or should the developers just build the parks themselves?” said John Moser, the city’s general manager of planning and growth management. “There has been a lot of interest from the development community to do that.”

Pierre Dufresne, president of the Greater Ottawa Home Builders’ Association and vice president with Tartan Homes, agreed. He said the change would mean parks could be built sooner.

“When a home purchaser moves into a subdivision even in its earlier stages, the park will already be complete,” he said. “It creates a complete community to have it upfront.”

City might bow out of suburban park building and let developers do it faster Continued from page 51

“If that comes to fruition, it would be a big change in the bylaw,” he said.

Since the planning and construction of new parks in the urban core works differently than a masterplanned new suburb, planning staff are considering keeping a fee for parks in the development charge for downtown construction.

The city has to wait until it collects enough money from development charges as different phases of homes in a new suburban community are built, so the park often isn’t put in until residents have been living there for some time.

Letting the developers do it would give them the flexibility to put in a park before residents move in, which is something builders prefer to do because it’s a good selling feature, Moser said.

Many builders ask the city for “front-ending agreements” to hand over more of the money the devel-

oper will eventually owe to the city upfront so the park can be built sooner.

“I think there is almost an expectation now as more (developers) do that, that the parks will be ready,” Moser said.

But that will also mean the city wouldn’t know which new parks were going to be built each year.

Right now, there is a list of upcoming park projects, but that responsibility could be shifted over to the development industry if the changes are recommended and approved.

Dufresne said there has also been discussion about putting a deadline in the developers’ community planning documents approved by the city to ensure the parks are completed in a timely manner – similar to what’s done now for sidewalks and utilities.

The shift wouldn’t necessarily mean layoffs or a reduced need for city parks planners, Moser said.

Those staffers would still be needed, but their work would be done at the

beginning of the process when developers work with the city to put together a master plan for their communities.

“We would be involved as it evolves through the design, working with the industry,” Moser said.

“Whatever is built has to be built to city standards.

“We would see the same quality of parks. They’ll just be built on a more timely basis,” Moser said. “I think the only thing that will change is: ‘Gee, it’s done.’ It’s quicker.”

Dufresne said the developers might be able to find more efficient ways to build parks.

“There might be some more flexibility with the things we’d put into the park,” he said. “We don’t have the same rules of engagement as the city.”

A background study on the revisions to the development charges bylaw will be posted on ottawa.ca a few weeks before it will be considered at a May planning committee meeting.

City returns to court for heritage school battle Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Legal wrangling over a rundown Lowertown heritage school that’s become the poster child for the city’s crackdown on derelict buildings is sending the city and its owner back to court.

The city has resumed legal action against Groupe Claude Lauzon, the owner of the Our Lady School on Cumberland Street, for failing to follow through on a legal agreement to protect the building, said built heritage subcommittee chairwoman Jan Harder, the councillor for Barrhaven Ward.

There is now a concern that the 110-year-old building has suffered more damage, she

The city’s chief building official is visiting the site to see whether any more orders need to be issued and whether the structure must be re-assessed by a heritage engineer.

Staff in Groupe Claude Lauzon’s office said Claude Lauzon, who oversees the company, was away for two weeks.

File No one else at the company The city is taking Groupe Claude Lauzon back to court was available for comment.

The city will Claude Lauzon, Harder said the city for permission to denot stand by to watch heritage the mayor has directed the molish the school based on a buildings being destroyed by city’s lawyer to take “whatever report the company commis-

The south and west walls of the former school are supposed to be saved as part of that agreement. John Cooke, an engineer working on behalf of Lauzon, told the city’s built heritage committee last October that concerns that Lauzon was not committed to the work were unfounded because the company had agreed to pour $700,000 into retaining those facades.

Groupe Claude Lauzon owns a number of unused properties, mainly in Lowertown, Vanier and New Edinburgh. Heritage Ottawa president Leslie Maitland commented that she was happy to see the city take action, but wondered why the Lauzon’s business strategy was to let its buildings fall into ruin.

sioned. The city asked Lauzon to meet several conditions, including providing an assessment from a professional heritage engineer on what portions of the structure – if any – could be saved.

In response, the owner launched court applications against the city. After some back-and-forth legal bickering, the two parties agreed on a strategy that would preserve parts of the building and court proceedings were paused.

The city had also agreed to waive the annual fee of $47,000 that was supposed to be charged to Groupe Claude Lauzon for encroaching on the road. Bracing and boards blocking off the site extend into the street to ensure safety for passersby.

Carleton students launch crowd-funding project michelle.nash@metroland.com

Michelle Nash/Metroland

Rebecca Yaworski is one of 10 students who are fundraising to bring live human tissues specimens to transform the learning experience for anatomy students at Carleton University. The group launched a crowd-funding initiative on the university’s FutureFunder website to raise the $25,000 needed. have the facilities to store human cadavers so the best alternative, according to the group, is to purchase the plastinated models, which are resistant to wear and tear and offer the best thing next to a cadaver.

amount of time they have set to raise the funds, over 150 days she believes the students will be able to get the job done.

“I think the idea of health services touches everybody,” she said.

“Everybody has a doctor or has someone who has been sick. Helping to fund this project will ensure the next generation has the tools to learn and desire to become doctors and nurses. You can think of it as, by donating money you are funding the next group of surgeons and scientists.”

Since the project started mid-March, the team has raised $1,100.

learning, in any way shape or form, is the best way to progress our society and actively contribute to our future,” said Tom Kazmirchuk who is in his third year at Carleton working on his bachelor of science in biology.

To date, the online crowdfunding platform has raised more than $400,000 for student and professor-led projects.

The university reports that since the launch of the online funding opportunity, there has been a 50 per cent increase in first time donors.

This project will be one of the first for FutureFunder to have a high dollar goal, but the students are not worried.

Yaworski added that given the

News - A group of Carleton students can’t wait to get their hands on live human tissue.

The health sciences students recently launched a $25,000 fundraising initiative on Carleton University’s crowd-funding website, FutureFunder, in an effort to raise enough money to transform how they study anatomy at the school.

The money raised would help purchase preparations of both the spinal cord and blood vessels of the brain.

“Currently we are using plastic specimens where everything is perfect,” said Rebecca Yaworski, one of the students involved. “It’s obvious and easy. But real life is not like that. Real, real-life tissue is simply the better way to study and will definitely help with our understanding.”

The project is supported and created by the university’s health sciences professors Iain McKinnell and Jeff Dawson who reached out to their students to help launch the fundraiser.

Yaworski is a fourth-year

The Orléans native couldn’t be more excited about the project or the concept of one day making it possible for Carleton students to be able to learn with real tissue samples.

One of the unique aspects of the campaign is that three of the students working on it, including Yaworski, might graduate before the tissue samples reach the campus. But for the budding researcher, she said the idea of simply helping out another student’s studies, and potentially making future students as interested in medical science as she is would be reward enough.

“I want to see more students interested in sciences,” she said. “We have a great science program and I think more people need to know that, and this will add to that.”

The key to making this project work is the university’s one-year-old online fundraising initiative, FutureFunder.

“You basically get to direct your own learning,” Yaworski said.

Her fellow classmates agree.

Aries, your self-confidence and enthusiasm have made you a natural leader. This week belongs to you, and others will rely on your leadership skills.

A unique experience has inspired you to make a difference, Taurus.

If you want to volunteer, there are many organizations that need help. Find the right fit for you.

Change is right around the corner, Gemini. Take the time to listen to what the stars are trying to tell you so you can make the best decisions.

You are very good at bringing together people, Cancer. Use this ability to create a social forum this week. Encourage those closest to you to exchange ideas.

Don’t let others make decisions for you, Leo. This week take control of your life and be more assertive regarding the goals you want to accomplish.

Virgo, technology is foremost on your mind this week. Focus on ways that technology can better your life and advance your career.

Seek the advice of others.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes.

To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Libra, seek guidance from friends and family when faced with a puzzling problem. Different perspectives can shed light on the problem and make it easier to solve.

Scorpio, give ample thought to what you really want out of a particular relationship or situation. You might have to make big changes, but such changes are worth the effort.

Try to show others this week that you are a thoughtful person who has a lot of life experience, Sagittarius. Assert yourself calmly and effectively to get your point across.

Trust the people you love, Capricorn. They may grow weary of not knowing which way you lean. Be firm when making decisions and others will respect you for it.

It is not always easy to think and act differently from those around you, Aquarius. But your willingness to take the road less traveled is why you’re such an effective leader.

Pisces, someone close to you is having problems that he or she cannot express. Your intuition will save the day.
