The much-debated question at the committee of adjustment on April 15 may sound minor – a three-metre setback on a proposed development, or a six-metre setback.

It turns out, according to the committee, it was minor, and qualified as a minor variance.

sonal moment of reflection so people can pray privately,” Watson said. He said he doesn’t think the city’s prayer – which has been in use since at least the mid-1990s – is disrespectful, but he said council will follow the Supreme Court’s ruling anyway.

The city’s solicitor will review the court decision, Watson added.

Instead of a prayer there was only silence at the start of the April 15 city council meeting.

Mayor Jim Watson opted for a moment of reflection just minutes after the Supreme Court found a Quebec council’s Catholic prayer tradition to infringe on freedom of conscience and religion.

The high court’s ruling ends an eight-year-old battle to maintain the Catholic prayer before council in Saguenay, Que. But in its lengthy decision, the Supreme Court also addressed municipal governments in general, finding that the state has a duty to remain neutral on religious matters. That means “it must neither favour nor hinder any particular belief, and the same holds true for non-belief.”

“The state’s duty to protect every person’s freedom of conscience and religion means that it may not use its powers in such a way as to promote the participation of certain believers or non-believers in public life to the detriment of others,” the ruling said.

Usually, before Ottawa council business begins, the chairperson re-

cites a short bilingual prayer which says in English, “Almighty God, let us work together to serve all our people.”

But just as the April 15 council was getting under way, Watson said the chamber would observe a moment of silence instead.

Man wanted for string of gas station robberies Three crimes occured over six days in March Kanata Kourier-Standard

The Ottawa police robbery unit is calling on the public to help identify a suspect wanted after three armed gas station robberies.

All took place in March and are believed to be connected.

On March 15, at about 5:30 a.m. a lone man entered a gas station along the 700 block of March Road, brandished a knife and demanded cash and cigarettes. The suspect fled the gas station with cash and cigarettes.

On March 17 the suspect entered a gas station on the 1900 block of Walkley Road around 2:30 a.m., carrying a

A suspect in three armed robberies is shown on security footage brandishing a knife at the counter of a gas station. Police say the man robbed three gas stations between March 15 and 20. large knife, and approached an employee. The suspect demanded, and fled with, cash and cigarettes. Police believe

the suspect had a car parked in the adjacent parking lot of another business.

On March 20, at around 4:35 a.m. police say the same man entered a gas station on the 3700 block of Fallowfield Road, indicated that he had a weapon and made a demand for cash and cigarettes. The suspect fled with a quantity of cash, lottery tickets and cigarettes, but not before dropping a knife from his pocket onto the floor of the gas station. There were no injuries in any of the three robberies.

The suspect is described as a Caucasian male, between 40 and 50 years old, approximately five-foot-eight, with a slim build, graying hair and a moustache.

Police are asking anyone with information about these robberies or any other to contact the Ottawa police robbery unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5116.

Community members will once again get a glimpse into some of the most creative minds in Kanata during the 24th Annual Kanata Artists Studio Tour, taking place from May1-3.

The event will feature 15 artists located at 11 studios across Kanata, ready to receive visitors and show them where and how the magic happens.

While artistic methods are different for just about every artist on the tour, for David Farrar, the tour is much more about showing the public that art doesn’t just happen – it takes a lot of work.

A water-colour and oil painter, Farrar draws inspiration from rugged Canadian landscapes, and delights in inviting neighbours into his home studio. But visitors who don’t create art themselves often have the same misconception, he said.

“Amongst people that don’t paint or do artwork, (how artwork is created) is a mystery to them, and it’s kind of glamourized,” said the tour veteran, who has participated in the past four events. “(But) there isn’t some kind of mystical element about it that people think,” he said.

“There is a lot of just work.”

Showing an artist’s studio is one way of helping people to see just how much work, discipline and concentration goes into a piece of art, he said.

“Creativity is not the enemy of discipline,” said Farrar.

But then, studio tour visits often don’t take such a predictable course either, he said.

In fact, on more than one occasion, Farrar’s whole house has been considered as a piece of art in itself, he said.

That’s due to his wife, an interior decorator.

And for some visitors, their interest lies more with the aubergine couch, plant stands and other bits of decor, which Farrar’s wife has been happy to discuss in the past, he said.

“You never know who is going to walk in and where the discussion will lead,” said Farrar.

Committee overturns Wilkinson’s motion for six-metre setback Continued from page 1

A large chunk of the property is taken up by a Hydro corridor.

But Kanata North Coun.

Marianne Wilkinson managed to get council’s approval for a last-minute change – a six-metre setback on Teron Road rather than a three-metre setback.

A setback is the space between a road and the edge of a building.

According to an application submitted on behalf of Bottriell to the committee of adjustment, after many redesign attempts, Bottriell and his design and planning experts found the extra three metres “too onerous to the fuADAM KVETON/METROLAND ture development of the subA last-minute change to the setbacks for the nine-storey development planned for this ject property.”

Taking the matter to the section of Teron Road prompted an appeal to Ottawa’s committee of adjustment, committee of adjustment, resulting in a decision in favour of developer Phil Bottriell.

Bottriell asked for a minor variance to change the setback to three metres once more for the nine-storey building only, saying his development could cope with a six metre setback CDI>8: D; ;>C6A DE:C =DJH: on the three-storey building.

committee confirmed it could make a decision and that Bottriell did not need to go to the OMB. Despite comments from Thomson and the community, MacDonald said, “I don’t see why Kanata cannot be subject to intensification like any other part of the city.”

MacDonald, along with her two other committee colleagues, said the planned development seemed like a good fit for the location, and that allowing Bottriell to keep the design style elements he said would make the building look better would be of benefit to the community. The committee voted in favour of Bottriell’s application to maintain a three-metre setback on the nine-storey building.

In answer to the committee’s decision, Bottriell said he will continue to work with the community on the development so that it fits in.

Thomson said the decision was not surprising, but said he was assured during the course of Bottriell’s presentation that the exterior design of the building would not change drastically from what had been shown.

“We are not going to get anything worse than what we have,” he said.

Since Bottriell’s first proposal for the Teron site in 2011, the design has changed substantially, going from a 15-storey highrise design to a nine- to five-storey, multitiered building, and now showing designs for tiers going from three-storeys to nine.

At least three Beaverbrook community members, in addition to Wilkinson, said they either disagree or don’t care.

The Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association’s president, Neil Thomson, said the community is characterized by large setbacks on buildings, emphasizing nature over structures.

“This is Beaverbrook,” he said. “We don’t do street presence.”

Wilkinson argued that she had conferred with planning before making her motion to increase the setback to six metres, and that they had said it was “quite acceptable to do.”

Furthermore, she commented that “The community isn’t happy with the development,” as four- to six-storey structures is the maximum elsewhere on the street, and that, “If anything, (the proposed 1131 Teron Rd. development) is more intense than it should be.”

She acknowledged that that “battle” had been lost, though many Beaverbrook residents continue to keep an eye on the development.

Committee member Janet MacDonald said, “We received numerous, numerous comments,” from community members, showing that “The community doesn’t want this development in any fashion, really.”

Though many comments to the committee questioned the its right to make a decision on the matter, and why Bottriell had not taken his issue to the Ontario Municipal Board, the

Katimavik man will Hike for Hospice in memory of his wife Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Larry Watson will walk in this year’s Hike for Hospice on May 3 in memory of his wife Carol-Lynn, and to support the organization that supported him and his wife throughout her illness.

“They’re unknown to a large degree, yet they do such a marvellous job for the people who are hurting,” said Watson, who lives in Katimavik. “It’s a great organization all around. I just wish more people knew what they did and take advantage of what’s available to them.”

After his wife’s diagnosis, the hospice got in touch with the family to discuss their end-of-life plans. Carol-Lynn took part in the various day programs offered by Hospice Care Ottawa, and a registered nurse visited her in her home.

“She thought it was remarkable,” said Larry. “After my wife did pass, they came to visit and talk to me. I went to an eight-week grief counselling session.

“The journey of life and death – they made my journey very comforting,” he added.

“They try really, really, really hard to help and get you focused on getting on with life, meeting people. That’s one of the things I enjoy about the walks that they do.”

Last year saw more than 400 participants raise just over $140,000, even though the day was cold and rainy.

So far, the weather for May 3 looks promising with a high of 17 degrees, according to the Weather Network.

With no registration fees this year, participants are encouraged to raise a minimum of $25 in pledges to help cover the cost of the event.

There will be on-site activities for all ages, live entertainment and a barbecue.

“There’s something for everyone in the family,” said Voth-Childs, adding the emphasis is on having “a great day while supporting hospice in their community.”

HIKE FOR HOSPICE

lometre hikes at Hospice Care Ottawa’s two locations: one at the May Court Hospice in Ottawa South from 8:30 a.m. to noon, and the second at the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice in Kanata from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The goal is to raise $170,000, 10 per cent of Hospice Care Ottawa’s overall fundraising aim for the year, and to attract 300 participants at each site, said Kristina Voth-Childs, communications co-ordinator for Hospice Care Ottawa.

Government funds make up 55 per cent of the organization’s operating costs.

The $6-million capital costs of the new Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice, and the balance of the annual operating costs – about $1.7 million – all come from public donations and fundraising.

“We rely on community support through special events, fundraising, and donations and through the thousands of hours provided by our dedicated staff and more than 700 volunteers,” said Voth-Childs. “All the funds raised will be going towards the services that we provide free of charge to those living with a life-limiting illness.”

Hospice Care Ottawa provides residential end-of-life care at an average cost of $400 a day – at no cost to those who use the services. That’s compared to the $1,000 it costs per day for someone in an acute hospital bed, said Voth-Childs.

Beer changes far from sweeping

T

he Ontario government announced last week it was making significant changes in the way beer is sold in the province, but it amounts to little more than tweaks and more taxes for consumers.

Those looking for radical changes, such as beer being made available in corner stores or sold in a competitive manner where retailers can choose prices are bound to be disappointed. Those looking for wine to be sold anywhere other than at the LCBO or existing Wine Rack stores are just out of luck.

What drinkers in Ontario can look forward to is six-packs and single cans and bottles of beer being sold at no more than 450 supermarkets in the province. Companies will have to apply for one of those licences, and set up special sections in stores where the beer will be sold.

So that means you can just nip into a Loblaws at 6 p.m. on a Sunday to grab some suds, after the Beer Store closes at 5 p.m., right? Wrong. The beer sections will be limited to the same hours as the

current retailers: the Beer Store and the LCBO. Other changes will see the LCBO carrying 12-packs and setting up boutique locations to sell things like craft beer. Those craft brewers who were recently rallying for change to the current system will get better access to retail space at the Beer Store, and they appear to be relatively happy about it.

What about the rest of us? We should be disappointed.

Aside from the rather slight changes to retailing, consumers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t getting much. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still beholden to a retailing system that is designed to squeeze as much revenue out of the business as possible, run without regard for the customer. On top of this, an additional tax of $1 per 24-pack will be levied on top of what the provincial government hailed as Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lowest beer prices.

Anyone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visited a depanneur in Gatineau knows none of this benefits the Ontario beer drinker. Fortunately, a rational system for beer retailing is just a short drive away, across the river.

ballpark, for example. The popcorn stand and the movie theatre. The gift shop and the museum. The pizza joint beside the tavern. The drinks cart and the golf course.

The latter is a particularly good one to think about at this warming time of year. The golfer has just come off the green. He is either deserving of some kind of refreshment to celebrate a good hole or needful of something to take his mind off how badly he is doing. He also needs a sympathetic smile, which drivers of drinks carts instinctively display.

Which brings us to the experiment with food and alcoholic drink at the movies. Not having experienced it, we have to go by published assurances that all is working well.

you can avoid the so-called VIP experience if you choose, and just watch the movie in the traditional way, without wine and calamari. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also reassuring that the wine-andcalamari cinemas are adults-only.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because it spares kids the horror of trying to watch a movie while all around them the adults are talking about food. Because isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to happen?

Anxiety and kids – the sleep solution

T

he more I talk to parents, the more I realize how many school-aged children are experiencing disruptive sleep, anxiety and moodiness usually associated with adolescence.

This presents itself in many ways: night waking and night terrors, bed wetting, unwillingness or resistance to school, temper tantrums, constipation and frequent urination, complaints of headaches or even, for the more verbal children, expressing that they are overwhelmed.

Last year, shortly after spring hit, we were fortunate to get referrals for multiple specialists for one of our children who experiences many these things, but mostly in the spring. The message, from the urologist, the allergist – who diagnosed a severe dust mite allergy -- and the pediatrician? Protect your child’s sleep. The doctors collectively noted this didn’t just mean ensuring the child gets enough sleep, but understanding the importance of the

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse time leading up to sleep. The wind down period before bed is important to children.

Feeling, like most parents do, extremely busy, I wasn’t precisely sure how to implement an hour-long wind down time before bed, as recommended by the pediatrician.

Her medical view was that my son have the opportunity for a long bath, followed by some cozy time with his parents, where we floss his teeth and give him a massage, followed by some reading time every night! Wouldn’t I love a doctor to prescribe that for me!

Admittedly, I was angry by the prospect of adding such an onerous bedtime routine to our day. We have three children, never mind that we both work

outside the home. But we tried it for a week and noticed a profound difference. As time went on, we adapted the bedtime routine to suit our lifestyle as much as possible, which has meant putting some of the responsibility of the wind down period on my son.

He learned how to meditate, breathe and do yoga at school earlier this year, thanks to an innovative classroom teacher, something he practices daily.

He also likes to pray before bed, something that seems to help him get his “anxiety list” out of his head and into the hands of God. He’s quite capable and willing to dig into a novel on his own in a quiet space, so we’re not always relied upon to read to him.

One of the biggest changes came more recently. In the past, he’s always shared a room with one of his siblings.

But six weeks ago, he finally got his deepest desire – his own bedroom. He took the time to plan and establish his own, Zen-type space within that room – painted a soft green, natural wood, free of clutter and complete with a tiny sofa bed, a salt rock lamp and one, tiny plant.

My child’s anxiety and night problems haven’t been eliminated, but they have be-

come noticeably predictable.

First, we realize he needs 11 hours of sleep per night, minimum, with a relatively regular bedtime of 7:30pm, even on weekends. It sounds like a lot, but there are a number of sleep studies that recommend children up to 12 get at least 10 hours sleep per night.

Second, he needs to stay off screens in the evening – as most of us should, regardless of age. If my child has screen time in the hour before bed – say watching a movie on a weekend – he’s more likely to R0153078702

wake in the night.

Other things that make for rough days and nights include lack of outdoor, physical time during the day, especially after school, the absence of reading time before bed; anything that forces him to rush the bedtime routine, failure to confirm that his schedule is organized for the week, (kids like predictability), any yelling or conflict in the evening, and overloading of sugar in the evening (including fruit and juice).

Protecting my child’s calm time and sleep may seem like a simplistic solution to what can feel like an insurmountable problem for parents – child anxiety, but it has made a huge difference.

From left, Council directors Liz Tucker and Kay Dubie put on the finishing touches to Far West Fun Fest. This year they say the event will be bigger and better than ever.

Far West Fun Fest returns for fifth year Kanata Seniors’ Council

The Kanata Seniors’ Council annual twoweek long extravaganza of activities designed for Kanata’s older adult community kicks off May 7th and runs to May 21st.

Introduced as an experiment in 2011, Far West Fun Fest has provided seniors a chance to get out and about, enjoy some of their favourite past times as well as try new activities.

did,” says Kay Dubie, past president of the Kanata Seniors Council who teams with the council’s treasurer, Liz Tucker, to organize the event.

“At the end of the first year we were frankly amazed at the requests to make it an annual event so here we are celebrating our fifth anniversary!” said Dubie.

Each year sees the introduction of a new activity or event, perennial favourites such as the darts tournament followed by a fish and chips dinner, or Bingo for which there always seems to be a waiting list, are constants. Though, for Bingo, a much larger venue has been organized this year.

“Thanks to the support and cooperation of local retirement residences and organizations, we’ve really gone all out,” says Tucker. “We think our Fun Fest 2015 version really does have something for everyone.”

Back are the card tournaments – euchre, bridge and cribbage. For the more active there’s square dancing, Zumba gold, nine-hole golf, lawn bowling, Sage Age Theatre, a chance to try your hand at soap making, enjoy a cookery demonstration or sign up for a tulip tour, among many other activities..

Programme booklets are ready to be picked up from the lobby desk of the Kanata Seniors’ Centre at 2500 Campeau Dr., starting Monday, April 13th. The basic registration fee is $20 although some events carry a small additional charge.

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

Each booklet contains a sheet listing this year’s activities.

“All registrants have to do is mark their selection and get it back to us no later than May 1st,” explains Tucker who emphasises that “the deadline is critical to avoid any disappointments.”

Those needing more information can contact Liz Tucker at 613 592 5585 or go on line to the Council’s website at www.kanataseniors.ca where details of Fun Fest 2015 are listed.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ride the Rideauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; renamed, rerouted through Kanata Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

When Dr. Jim Walker pedals 108 kilometres this fall to raise money for cancer research, he will not only be thinking of the cause, but also of Laurie Strano, who was killed during the Ride the Rideau charity cycling event last September.

Emergency responders hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet arrived when Walker came upon the accident site on River Road in Manotick where Strano, a 40-yearold mother of two, had died after she was struck by a garbage truck. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, the loss of Laurie Strano was a huge loss,â&#x20AC;? said Walker.

Following the tragedy, the division chief of dermatology at The Ottawa Hospital, was part of a sixmember event review task force, which ultimately recommended the ride continue, but that it be rerouted and renamed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(The task force) met with very mixed emotions because obviously Laurie can never be replaced,â&#x20AC;? Walker said at the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General campus on April 16 where the changes to the event were revealed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But it would be a shame to lose the ride as well because of that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I think Laurie Strano of all people would be the last person who would want that ride to come to an end because of her,â&#x20AC;? he said, overcome by emotion.

Ride the Rideau is now known as The Ride, and will take place on Sept. 13, and will feature a 50 kilometre closed route and 108 kilometre route.

Rather than ride out from the EY Centre, which was the starting point in previous years, and through Manotick along the Rideau River, cyclists taking part in the 108-kilometre option will begin from Tunneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pasture.

They will head west on the Parkway and Carling Avenue out to north Kanata and on to the Carp and Dunrobin area before heading to the finish line at Wesley Clover Parks.

Both routes were chosen for road quality, traffic flow and because the parkway could be closed to vehicles for the shorter ride. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We stayed away from arterial roads,â&#x20AC;? said Tim Kluke, president and chief executive officer of The Ottawa Hospital Foundation, which

has organized the ride the past five years, raising $8.8 million for cancer research at the hospital.

The exact routing has yet to be decided, according to The Rideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, where a map with no road names has been posted.

Other changes include adding more signage along the route, increasing volunteer and police presence, and moving the event from Saturday to Sunday when there is less traffic.

This year, registrants must also agree to watch an online safety video. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a part of a safety precaution we thought important,â&#x20AC;? said task force chair Jim Durrell.

Riders will also wear brightly coloured jerseys, and be given flashing lights. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think that what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re announcing today only enhances the event,â&#x20AC;? Kluke said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It enhances our safety.â&#x20AC;?

KANATA RESPONSE

Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said she has no objections to The Ride rerouting through north Kanata, but added that, until the exact routing is determined, she canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comment on how much safer bikers will be. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It depends which roads they pick,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of the roads (in north Kanata) are pretty narrow too,â&#x20AC;? but said efforts to stick to lower weekend traffic areas are the right way to go.

For the Kanata/Nepean Bike Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safety and education director, MonnaLeigh McElveny, the best news isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily the new route, but the increase in education with the mandatory safety video. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excellent,â&#x20AC;? said McElveny, a Kanata Lakes resident. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real step in the right direction,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are good roads and bad roads everywhere,â&#x20AC;? said McElveny, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the education on bike safety

that will make the difference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People really need to get geared up and not make the assumption that just because you know how to ride a bicycle, you know how to ride it on a road situation,â&#x20AC;? she said, suggesting those interested in taking part in these kinds of rides join a club or take a bike safety course.

Despite the many changes, organizers are confident the upcoming ride will be just as successful in raising funds for cancer research. The 2014 event drew more than 900 riders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A number of our leading ride teams are back in, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to go,â&#x20AC;? Kluke said.

ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND Registration is now open, and can Tim Kluke, president and chief executive officer of the Ottawa Hospital by done by visiting dotheride.ca.

Foundation, announced several changes to the foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ride the LEGACY FUND

The Ottawa Hospital, through its foundation, has donated a portion of the proceeds from the 2014 ride to create a $100,000 legacy fund in support of a University of Ottawa scholarship in Stranoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those who knew her have been unanimous in their desire to remember and pay tribute to her,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Jack Kitts, president and chief executive officer of The Ottawa Hospital.

Many of Stranoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s colleagues and loved ones created the scholarship, which will be available to a student working toward a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in health administration, which Strano completed at uOttawa before she went on to work at The Ottawa Hospital and then The Royal Ottawa Mental Health Care Centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every year, in perpetuity, the interest from that (legacy) fund will go to the scholarship in Laurieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name,â&#x20AC;?

Kitts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So every year, deserving students will have access to the kind of education that Laurie believed in and supported throughout her life.â&#x20AC;?

Volunteers receive Caring Canadian Award Patrick Longchamps Patricklongchamps@gmail.com

Gov. Gen. David Johnston said thanks to 49 Canadians for volunteer work they do here in Canada and around the world.

Johnston presented Car-

ing Canadian Award to the 49, who hail from different areas in Canada, on April 14 at Rideau Hall. The award is given to people nominated for their continued volunteer service to the communities they live in, across Canada or abroad.

“Much like the Caring Canadian Award itself, this week is all about thanking those who give so much and who expect so little in return,” said Johnston. “This award is meant to showcase your efforts and to encourage others to help out too. “

12 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, April 23, 2015

The award was first presented in 1995 when former governor general Roméo LeBlanc wanted to thank all the people who gave so much to the people around them.

The April 14 event was the 20-year anniversary of the creation of the award and was part of Johnston’s National Volunteer Week.

For Christian Robillard – one of the 49 volunteers – the award doesn’t only honour the people who have given up so much of their time, but it also encourages them to continue their efforts.

“I volunteer with several different groups,” said Robillard, who is currently the president of the OFF-Campus Student Association at Carleton University, among other roles. “I got volunteering … into my system when I was 15 years old after working for the one of the Boys and Girls Clubs.

Some of the candidates had no clue they were being nominated, and were very surprised when they received an email from Johnston’s office.

“I’m not entirely sure how

Gov. Gen. David Johnston, right, presents the Caring Canadian Award to Saul Jacobson of Kanata at Rideau Hall April 14. Forty-nine volunteers accepted the award on the 20-year anniversary of the event.

I got here to be honest,” said Saul Jacobson, a volunteer music director at Broadview Avenue Public School. “It came as a huge surprise to me. The parents of some of the students I taught, along with some of the teachers and the superintendent of the school board actually nominated me.”

Jacobson said the award shouldn’t be presented to

him alone, but also to all the students that he teaches because they have done all the work over the last 12-years.

“This event is a motivator to continue the work and it recognizes that the work you are doing does not go unnoticed,” said Robillard.

Arming sentries just common sense To the editor,

Re: Arming sentries at the National War memorial.

I am one of those Canadians who seriously question the wisdom of leaving sentries unarmed.

They are military personnel, and are entitled to be armed. They are trained to use firearms and that is their responsibility. Regardless of whether the role is ceremonial, and they are not really considered to be “protecting” the site, that is precisely what they are perceived to be doing.

Are we saying somebody’s going to come out and take a shot at them? Of course we are.

They did. And might do so again. That is not very difficult to understand.

Times and circumstances change, and adaptive people realize this and make the necessary adjustments. It does not follow that arming sentries has dire implications for our society. With respect, that seems to be a cynical, even hysterical reaction to reality.

These sentries are highly visible, symbolic individuals, arguably high-value targets for terrorists. Those who made the decision to leave them unarmed should have realized this. Cpl. Cirillo would likely be here today if both he and his partner were armed. Let’s have a discussion about that.

“Showing respect for the fallen” means taking the job seriously, not off-loading the task of watching over these sentries to Ottawa police.

At the very least, let there be open debate on the issue of arming sentries. This has nothing to do with “Canadian values.” It has everything to do with common sense.

Kanata Sailing Club continues to grow youth program boost membership numbers, which currently sit at 100.

With the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open house taking place on May 2, Thompson said he plans to introduce anyone interested to how the club works, and hopefully see that membership number climb to 120 or more.

Thompson said he hopes the new program will also

Last year, the club had its largest youth program yet, with four weeksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worth of CANSail 1 courses offered for YMCA camps, and a brand new week-long course in partnership with Girl Guides Canada.

Thompson estimated that 32 youths went through the program, with the Girl Guidesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; registration full to bursting.

But this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new CANSail 2 program for young people aged 12-18 will allow participants to become selfsufficient sailors, able to take their non-sailor friends and family out, participate alongside other experienced sailors

FLEET EXPANSION

But the focus at the Kanata Sailing Club isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all about junior members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We actually bumped up the size of our fleet pretty significantly this year,â&#x20AC;? said Thompson.

In addition to renewing some of the ageing sailboats, the club also added several

â&#x20AC;&#x153;top-tier racing boats,â&#x20AC;? said Thompson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of our more senior sailors like to race with fancier boats, so we were able to do that, and also just replace the ageing fleet,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The Kanata Sailing Club has continued to see success with its youth sailing program, but this year the club will take a major step in making sailing an option for the whole family.

The club will begin offering Sail Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CANSail 2 program for those age 12-18 this year, said commodore Mike Thompson.

With the new program, young people who have gone through the CANSail 1 program can continue their training so that they no longer need supervision and are able to take non-sailors out on the water.

Kanata resident on site at fiery highway crash Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Glen Cairn resident Kendra Brown had never needed to use her first aid training before, but after narrowly avoiding what became a fiery crash on Highway 417, she thought she might just have to save a life.

Paramedics received a call at 7:58 a.m. on April 17 about a multi-vehicle collision in the

swerve across the highway to avoid hitting the truck, while she managed to stop in time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I ended up pulling off to the side, because I wanted to make sure that everybody was OK, and I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite sure if anyone was going to come in time or if anyone had called 911,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The cab of a transport truck involved in a collision in the westbound lane of Highway 417 is engulfed in flames.

An ambulance had, by chance, been driving nearby and paramedics were quickly on scene, according to a news release from Ottawa paramedics.

Paramedics found that the driver of the transport truck, a 64-year-old male, â&#x20AC;&#x153;sustained multi-system trauma to the head, chest and abdomen.â&#x20AC;?

He was transported to hospital in critical condition.

The 57-year-old male driver of the car had minor injuries

and was in stable condition upon arrival at hospital, said the news release.

Brown said she was relieved at not having to jump into action, and hopes that the first time she does have to use her first aid training, the situation will be a little less serious.

All westbound lanes of the 417 at Moodie Dr. were cleared by 1:03 p.m. according to the Ontario traveler information serviceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s road closures Twitter account.

of any help, she would do so, she said.

After pulling off to the side of the highway, Brown crossed to the scene and found one man in his car, and the driver of the transport truck ejected out of the cab, which had already begun to smoke and burn below the vehicle, said Brown.

The cab was soon engulfed in flame, throwing up a huge column of black smoke.

Though Brown couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t approximate just how far the driver had been thrown, she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it was a far enough distance that it was alarming.â&#x20AC;?

A man driving east on the highway had already stopped and was sprinting towards the ejected driver, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were so many vehicles stopping and there were flames and in those situations you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what the transport truck is actually carrying, so it could have been really potentially dangerous for even just bystanders,â&#x20AC;? said Brown.

Prepared to do what she could to help, she found she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to.

“We are so grateful to the many people who have contributed to our Tour so far. Many local venues and organizations are participating with us to make the Tour possible.

Is hypnosis safe?

Very. Hypnosis is not an altered state of consciousness (as sleep is, for example), but simply a relaxed experience of consciousness, which is brought about by using suggestion to reconfigure the properties of the imagination. And anything that can be imagined can be unimagined just as easily. Even the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) refers to hypnosis as “The quickest and most effective way to make behavioral changes.”

Kanata OPP officer’s family granted Make-a-Wish trip Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

It wasn’t that long ago that Daril and Diana Holmes would treasure even a quick trip to the park with their son Matthew.

Matthew had been given less than a 10 per cent chance to live after both stem cell and cord blood transplants failed to keep the now 11-year-old in remission from leukemia.

Doctors at SickKids hospital in Toronto suggested the

family consider palliative care, but the family made a decision to undergo another round of treatment and fight with everything they had.

“We were given the option of palliative care for him. Maybe three months, to keep him comfortable,” Daril said. “Or fight again. So we fought.”

The family moved to Toronto’s Ronald McDonald House, and Daril was on leave from his job as an OPP officer in Kanata. Diana has been on

leave since Matthew was first diagnosed.

“We, as parents, took any sort of outing or experience to heart so we could try and build memories,” Daril said. “Not always for Matthew, but also for us. A venture in Toronto in a public park, or a walk along the lake in Toronto was something that we would have done to try and build a happy memory.”

With the golf season upon us, the transition from the Arnprior Golf Club to the Sand Point Golf Course has been going well. We hope to open Tuesday, April 28th.

The following personnel have been hired to work for the Sand Point Golf Course / RBH. 1. Steve Williams – Greenskeeper 2. Ryan Condon – CPGA Pro 3. Cari Reid & Jay Whitelock – Clubhouse and Food & Beverage 4. Judy Ciphery – Accounting (office at Reid Bros.)

5. Barrie Bennett – Janitorial/Maintenance We plan to extend Steve William’s contract for another year, which will mean, our Greenskeeper and Pro will have new 3 year contracts.

The Course wintered well. There are the usual wet areas but the majority of the course looks good. We are renovating the Bunker Lounge and hope to open our new Greenside Tavern in mid May. During this renovation, the upstairs bar will be open for food to-go and a few cold ones.

New, reduced membership rates have been determined (see attached). All pre-paid members can now review our new rates and choose the new membership they wish.

You can move up or if we owe you a refund, we will.

Please contact, Ryan Condon @ 613-623-3314 to discuss your options.

We plan to purchase a ball machine for the range.

Therefore, no range package will be offered. All AGC members who have 2014 green fee vouchers or cart packages must contact Judy Ciphery [613- 366-1905] to have them updated for the 2015 season.

A lot has happened in the last two weeks. This is a very large undertaking to say the least. Lynn, myself and our family are very appreciative for all the well wishes and thank you’s from many of you.

We plan to do our best and going forward hope that everyone will be very pleased with the new Sand Point Golf Course.

Thank you again. See you at the Course!

Sincerely, Robert & Lynn Reid Sand Point Golf Course 38 Golf Club Road, Sand Point 613-623-3144 www.arnpriorgolfclub.com

During the family’s low point in December 2012, and with such low chances of survival, it would have been a dream to imagine being back at home with Matthew.

So April 11 was a dream come true for the family, when Matthew was pulled up on stage at the Orléans Wishes Committee’s HaiRaiser fundraiser at Place d’Orléans in support of Make-AWish Eastern Ontario.

He was given a box, which contained overwhelming news: Matthew’s wish to go to Hawaii – the place his parents honeymooned and had told him about in detail – was granted.

“A short while ago, a walk around Lake Ontario would have been the best thing,” Daril said. “It will be an experience for all of us with him that a short while ago we didn’t think would be possible.”

LONG JOURNEY

It’s been a long road for the family, which includes Matthew’s 17-year-old brother Patrick. Matthew was diagnosed with leukemia about four years ago, and he had a cord blood transplant at Sick Kids.

When that didn’t work, the family moved back into Toronto to Ronald McDonald house – the condo they rented for six weeks during the first transplant was pricey – and Patrick shuffled homes while his brother underwent chemotherapy.

Patrick went to school in Toronto for several months before moving in with his aunt, closer to home in Metcalfe.

None of Matthew’s family members

or registered donors were a bone marrow match, but he had a stem cell transplant from his mother.

“Once (the first cord blood transplant) failed, they went back, and there was no one that matched,” Diana said.

“So they did a (stem cell) transplant from me that failed very quickly.”

But the third time that Matthew needed a transplant, there were two donors who had joined the donor registry that were perfect matches for him.

“Ten out of 10,” Diana said of the match.

Matthew received a transplant from an unknown middle-aged woman that saved his life.

By the time the family came home in December 2014, they had been in Toronto for two-and-a-half years.

“He was kind of the boy in the bubble for the better part of a year when we came home,” said Daril, who explained Matthew’s immune system was severely compromised. “He wasn’t allowed in public venues, he had to wear a mask.”

Matthew returned this year to Grade 6 at Mother Teresa Catholic School in Russell.

He loves being back at school and seeing his friends on a daily basis and getting back to a routine, said Diana, who hopes to be able to return to work this fall.

The multiple chemotherapy and radiation treatments and three transplants have left Matthew with some health problems. His lungs only have 40 per cent working capacity and he’s suffered from a side effect called graft versus host disease that has meant he hasn’t been able to eat solid food for two years.

“He got a pretty good dose, unfor-

The 10-day trip to Hawaii will be a chance to get away from medical appointments and worries for the Holmes family.

Matthew had come up with three ideas for wishes to submit to the Makea-Wish group: the Hawaii trip, to go in a zero gravity airplane, and to meet the two main actors from the television

ing forward to it. To see the two boys, having fun together, will be really something.”

The family is booked to swim with dolphins, take a helicopter ride and go snorkelling.

Daril, who grew up the Queenswood Heights neighbourhood of Orléans, said he’s been overwhelmed at the generosity he’s seen during his son’s illness from his friends and family, as well as people they don’t even know.

Both Daril and Diana particularly are in awe of the work done by Ronald McDonald House and the Make-aWish Foundation.

No one in the family knew which of the wishes might be chosen.

They were able to drive to Florida over Christmas for several days this year, which was a big treat because they hadn’t been able to travel since Matthew was diagnosed.

The May 1 departure for Hawaii will be the first time Matthew – who is keen on airplanes and helicopters – will have ever flown.

“It’s going to be surreal,” said Diana. “Everything has been so far from all of our minds, it’s going to be really exciting. Patrick as well is really look-

Advocates want mayor to deliver on homelessness promise city coffers.

According to a spending plan presented April 14, nearly $36 million of the investment will go to new affordable housing units across the city, with a priority on accessible housing, supportive units to get long-stay shelter users into permanent homes, and “mixedcomposition housing” that would suit everyone from families to individuals to seniors.

But only $6.9 million of the capital funding is coming from the city, down from $17 million during the last round of investments, which amounted to about $42 million over four years.

That’s partly because $4 million previously earmarked for capital projects as part of the city’s housing and homelessness investment plan has been

Alex Robinson and Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

The city will channel $36 million into affordable housing projects between now and 2020, but advocates continue to call on the mayor to fulfil his promise for more homelessness support.

Ottawa has plans to put $55 million into housing projects, renovations and rent support between now and 2020 as part of the investment in affordable housing program, which channels federal and provincial funding to municipalities to help them address housing needs.

The province and federal governments have allocated $48.3 million for Ottawa, and the rest will come from the

moved to the operations ledger.

That’s to help plug a $9.3 million hole caused by inflation and higher operating costs, according to city staff.

The mayor’s office said the increase in provincial and federal funding – nearly double provided in the last round – has allowed the city to redirect municipal funds to address operating pressures.

While this is welcome news for supporters of the city’s housing first strategy, advocates are still anxious to see the mayor make good on his promise to add another $2 million in program funding.

Last fall, housing advocates rejoiced when Mayor Jim Watson and 18 other councillors campaigned to increase housing and homelessness funding from $14 million to $16 million annually. So when Watson won a huge mandate in the October 2014 election, advocates were surprised the money didn’t actually end up in the 2015 budget.

“What we saw in the budget was a bit of a change from what we expected.

It was curious,” said Mike Bulthuis, president of the Alliance to End Homelessness Ottawa, an umbrella group that represents more than 45 local housing organizations. “I heard from a lot of members asking why it was not

in the budget when it was supported by an overwhelming majority.”

The alliance is hoping the promised $2 million will be taken out of a $37.4 million bucket of money set aside for “term of council priorities,” which council will carve up this summer.

The mayor’s office has confirmed to Metroland Media that the funding will indeed be included.

“These funds have not yet been allocated as they will be part of the strategic initiatives process in June,” said a spokesman for the mayor. “Building on the continued commitment of $14 million annually, this would be one of the largest affordable housing investments in the city’s history.”

But not everyone wants to see an increased emphasis on programs – at least not to the detriment of building more affordable housing units as well.

Ray Sullivan, executive director of the non-profit landlord corporation Centretown Citizens Ottawa, said baseline capital funding will drop from $16 million last term to about $11 million on average for the next five years.

“That’s an important difference,” he told councillors at planning committee.

He warned that reducing capital spending will put the 40,000 Ottawa households who can’t afford their current living situation at risk.

“We have to ask ourselves how that total drop in funding ... is going to affect the city’s ability to meet its own goals and objectives under its 10 year plan to end homelessness,” Sullivan said.

Of course if council so chose, that money could be moved back into the capital side in future budgets – but it would come at a cost, according to housing services administrator Janice Burelle.

“You could potentially do that at the risk of closing programs that align with the Housing First (strategy) and all the other goals and objectives in the 10year plan,” she said.

SPENDING PLAN

The investment in affordable housing program totals $55 million, with $48.3 million coming from federal and provincial pockets. The city will invest $6.9 million over the five years, funded by housing reserves, development charges and the sale of public land.

The plan includes: • $36 million for capital subsidies toward affordable housing projects • $5.4 million for the Ontario renovates program to retrofit homes for seniors and people with disabilities.

• $5 million for rent supplements and housing allowances.

Reasons for kids to play video games It’s easy to think the time your kids spend playing video games is wasted, but a closer look at the skills your child is learning might prove you wrong.

Active living in retirement residences It’s no surprise that people who exercise regularly tend to be in better health than those who don’t, with many studies demonstrating just how beneficial physical activity can be—especially for seniors. Given the vital role that physical activity plays in the health of seniors, it’s clear how important it is for older adults to stay active in their later years, as it could mean their prolonged good health and independence. Yet, according to Employment and Social Development Canada, levels of physical activity gradually decrease with age, with only 44% of adults aged 65+ considered even moderately active in Canada.

“We support residents with their fitness goals by providing active living programming that is not only delivered in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere, but tailored to their abilities and preferences,” she says, “When new residents realize how easy and fun it is to get in their daily physical activity, they’re more inclined to participate.”

As Laura Forsyth, Director of Life Enrichment at Chartwell Retirement Residences, explains, organized classes offered by retirement communities provide seniors with a convenient way to exercise.

According to a study conducted by the University of Missouri, seniors living in retirement residences who reported more exercise experienced less physical decline than their peers who reported less exercise, demonstrating just how beneficial retirement living programming can be for a senior’s overall well-being.

At Chartwell Stonehaven, we believe that active living is a critical component of healthy aging. We make it easy for residents to remain physically active and socially engaged so they can enjoy happier, healthier and more vibrant lifestyles.

Our main residence and independent apartments offer a number of active living programs — such as yoga, balance and wellness classes, a walking club, our popular Rhythm N’ Moves class and our new intellectual FitMinds® program — and general recreational activities geared toward improving residents’ physical health.

There may be many reasons why seniors do not exercise regularly, challenges with health and mobility ranking high on that list; however, it’s never too late for seniors to participate in regular exercise, even if it’s from the comfort of a chair. One lifestyle change that studies show often prompt seniors to begin exercising again is a move to retirement living.

Ontario government rings changes on beer landscape Select supermarkets to sell six packs, craft brewers to get better retail access Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

As promised, the Ontario government has announced changes to the way beer is sold in the province, but the recommendations require a careful reading of the fine print.

Based on the findings of the Ed Clark-headed premierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advisory council of government assets, the April 16 announcement confirm that beer will be sold outside the confines of the privately-owned Beer Store and publically-owned LCBO for the first time since before Prohibition in the 1910s and 1920s.

The changes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; referred to as the New Beer Framework - were sparked by growing public outrage over the Beer Storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quasi-monopoly on sales in the province. The Beer Store is owned by three foreign-owned brewing conglomerates and donates heavily to political parties and their campaigns.

The beer changes were announced alongside a decision to sell off of 60 per cent of the provincally-owned Hydro One. Premier Kathleen Wynne lauded the changes, calling them crucial for making investments in provincial infrastructure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By making smart business decisions now â&#x20AC;&#x201C; decisions that unlock the value of assets and that ensure that every public dollar is at work for the people of Ontario â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we are positioning our province to thrive, long into the future,â&#x20AC;? stated Wynne.

Under the framework, a number of grocery stores, limited to the 450 licenses the province is selling, will be allowed to sell six-packs of beer as well as single cans, while small brewers will be allowed to occupy 20 per cent of the Beer Storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shelf space.

An arms-length governance model is also planned for the Beer Store, with the creation of a beer ombudsman to oversee complaints.

A lower buy-in charge for small brewers, and the ability for small restaurants to purchase from the Beer Store at regular retail prices is also part of the changes. The Beer Store will continue to be the go-to place for returning empties, and will invest $100 million into its stores to do away with locations that still employ the â&#x20AC;&#x153;wall,â&#x20AC;? moving them to a self-serve format.

At the LCBO emphasis will be placed on craft beers, with dedicated boutique sections a possibility. Online ordering will be available, and the or-

ganization will change its wholesale purchasing arrangements in order to free up more profits for the province, while maintaining current prices. A pilot project, initially limited to 10 stores, would allow the LCBO to sell 12-packs of beer.

The changes are expected to be implemented slowly, over the course of four years. The province predicts that, once in effect, the changes will see an additional $100 million in revenue land in provincial coffers each year.

REACTION, FINE PRINT STEPH WILLEMS/METROLAND

The framework contained much small print that could raises questions, and possibly objections.

Not included in the news releases from the province, but detailed in the report produced by Clarkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s council, was the fact that Ontario will raise further revenues by adding a new beer tax to the existing list of federal and provincial tariffs and taxes that make up the cost of a case of beer.

The province has stated that it has a commitment from the major brewers to not raise the retail prices of their volume brands before May 1, 2017.

In an interim report released earlier this year, the council floated the idea of extracting a franchise fee from the Beer Store in exchange for their continued existence in the marketplace.

That fee didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make the final cut, but a before unmentioned beer tax did.

By naming large grocery stores as the only outlets allowed to purchase licenses, convenience stores â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which have been advocating for the right to sell beer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are left out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Large convenience stores are in fierce competition with grocery stores â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially in urban centres,â&#x20AC;? said Dave Bryans, CEO of the Ontario Convenience Store Association, in a media release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One needs to look no further than grocery stores opening small convenience-oriented stores and purchasing smaller competitors to see this happening. I am disappointed that the Clark panel did not adequately consider the tough competition that exists between convenience stores and grocery stores as it developed its proposal for modernizing alcohol retailing in the province. We have concerns that this plan would give a few dominant corporations an unfair advantage over their competitors.â&#x20AC;?

The grocery stores that do purchase a licensing fee will be limited to selling around $1 million worth of beer each year, according to the report, but

The government of Ontario will be making changes to the way beer is sold in the province, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect to see the Beer Store disappear. As before, the foreign-owned retailer will be the only location able to sell 24-packs of suds. nowhere does it say how the province would cut off the taps if this occurs.

As well, the stores would only be able to sell within fixed hours, while offering no deals on their products.

Ontario Craft Brewers, on the other hand, â&#x20AC;&#x153;enthusiastically welcomedâ&#x20AC;? the news, as the framework contained a number of measures that would be beneficial to small operations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe that this package of fundamental changes, when fully implemented, will unlock craft brewersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; true growth potential, allowing us to quickly double or triple our direct brewery jobs,â&#x20AC;? said Cam Heaps, chairman of Ontario Craft Brewers.

According to the panelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report, the Beer Store will be â&#x20AC;&#x153;opening up its ownership to all brewers with facilities in Ontario and operating on a break-even cash flow basisâ&#x20AC;? for a nominal fee, though the existing owner-brewers will ultimately remain responsible for the business.

Four independent directors will take seats on the 15-person board of directors, with policies and beer categorization determined by a majority vote of those four directors.

The Beer Store will move to a break-even, co-op model, with a tiered rate sheet to lower the retailing cost for smaller brewers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In addition to the expanded shelf space at the Beer Store and tiered costs, small brewers will be able to deliver their product jointly to TBS and licensed establishments. Third-party carriers and warehousing would be allowed, along with the ability for a brewer with two production facilities to have a retail store at both locations.

The changes to the beer retailing model will have to be passed as legislation before any changes come into effect.

Week in Review It was great to see so many residents out at the Trailwest Pancake breakfast this past weekend at Kristina Kiss Park. Thank you to Enbridge Gas Services for their contribution to this fantastic community event!

Transit Service Improvements I am happy to share that the Transit Service changes are now in effect for Kanata South Routes. A trip will be added to Route 66 in the afternoon to increase capacity to Kanata South as well as highercapacity buses will be assigned to increase capacity at key times on Route 66. The peak period trips on Route 164 that operate Monday to Friday from/to Hope Side Road will be extended slightly further east to bring service closer to a growing residential area located on Hope Side Road near Old Richmond Road. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the residents that have continued to provide their constructive feedback to OC Transpo. There were several residents who personally gathered information from others and worked with OC Transpo and my office to help resolve the outstanding issues.

Brian Parsons Park Proposal In recognition of Brian Parsons’ courage and exceptional service, the City of Ottawa has been asked to rename Black Tern Park at 53 Black Tern Crescent the “Brian Parsons Park”.

Brian Parsons has been an active member of the community serving as vice-president of the Bridlewood Community Association from 1997 to 1999. In this capacity, Brian organized the Bridlewood community Canada Day celebrations and the New Year’s Eve community party.

Since being diagnosed with ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease) in 2013, Brian has been tirelessly campaigning to improve the rights and benefits for family members of ALS patients to allow them to take time off work so they can provide round-the-clock care to their loved one during the final stages of life. In addition, Brian has been raising funds for ALS.

April 15, but the rookie east-end leader said the discussion is just heating up.

“I was encouraged by the fact that there seems to be an interest and an appetite on the part of some members of council to engage in a wider discussion on ways to improve the electoral system,” Nussbaum said after the 19-5 vote.

Nussbaum’s motion would have permitted council to ask the provincial government for control over its campaign financing rules, specifically whether or not corporate or union donations would be allowed.

Toronto was given this power in 2007, and banned those kinds of donations in late 2009.

The motion wouldn’t have changed Ottawa’s rules, but rather simply allowed council to decide if and when it might want to implement a ban.

The main argument for a corporate and union donation ban is that it levels the field by stopping business owners from effectively donating twice – once as an individual and again as an organization.

Nussbaum also argued it would increase transparency by doing away with numbered companies that residents can’t easily identify.

On the flip side, the argument for allowing corporate donations sounds very similar: that it creates a level playing field, but this time for the candidates. “(Corporate donations) help challengers mount strong election campaigns,” said Mayor Jim Watson during council debate.

“Very few of us are independently wealthy. Do we want only those people who are able to completely finance their elections with donations from their personal fortunes to run for office?”

As for transparency, Watson argued moving a local business’s donation into the personal contribution ledger might even reduce transparency because a business owner might not be recognizable by name even if her company is well known.

“With the current system we know who is donating and where they work,” Watson said.

While only five councillors voted yes – four of them new to council this year – even some who voted no seemed open to broader discussions about municipal election reform.

Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Tobi Nussbaum was unsuccessful in his bid to convince council to ask the province for the power to ban corporate and union donations.

Coun. Mark Taylor, for example, said he doesn’t want to take a “piecemeal approach” to solving municipal election issues, which he said go far beyond financing to include diversity issues and low voter turnout.

“Perhaps the topic needs to be more fully explored, rather than limited on this one thing,” Taylor said.

If were to be done as a package of electoral reform requests rather than a one-off, Taylor noted, there would also be more opportunity for public consultation.

Nussbaum said looking at municipal election reform in its totality would be great, but “that doesn’t prevent us from addressing specific problems as they arise,” he said.

“While I agree there are broader issues that need to be raised I didn’t think in this case it meant not moving forward on one particular issue.”

Nevertheless, Nussbaum said he’s excited to work with colleagues on the issue of electoral reform, saying the debate on April 15 was “just the beginning.”

“I certainly will be keen to speak to Coun. Taylor and others,” Nussbaum said.

“Whether or not that will lead to specific council action is too soon to say.”

Wet summer, newsprint decline partly to blame, city memo says

ORGANICS DOWN

Of the three recycling streams, the curbside green bin compost collection saw the biggest drop in volume year over year, declining 2.7 per cent compared to 2013.

That year, the city collected 83,000 tonnes of material, compared to 81,000 in 2014. Solid waste services manager Marilyn Journeaux said the two extra tonnes can largely be attributed to the miserably wet summer Ottawa residents endured in 2013.

“Things were green and lush,” Journeaux said. “People cut their lawns more, they trimmed their bushes back. It results in more leaf and yard waste.”

The 2014 growing season, however, was closer to normal.

“We’ve always seen fair-

Organics diversion dropped by two tonnes last year, something the city attributes to a dry summer compared to 2013. ly wide leaf and yard waste variations in the tonnages,” Journeaux said.

One of the biggest challenges for organics diversion is getting the green bin program into multi-residential properties such as apartment buildings.

While blue and black box programs are mandatory, the green bin program is for the most part still only being used by single-family homes.

About 200 of the city’s approximately 1,000 multiresidential buildings use the green bin right now, representing about 10,000 residents, Journeaux said. It’s mostly townhouse developments and low- and mid-rise buildings.

The problem is that older buildings pre-dating the recycling era don’t always have the space to store the bins.

“A lot of those older buildings in the downtown core don’t have parking garages ... they don’t have grounds,” Journeaux said. “It’s logistically impossible or extremely difficult.”

She said the city works one-on-one with willing property managers to come up with unique solutions for their building. And now, any new multi-residential development in the city must provide space for green bin and recycling containers, so “on a go-forward basis it will be much easier to address,” she added.

turn in newspapers.

“The (Ottawa) Citizen dropped their Sunday paper a couple of years ago, and the physical size of the Ottawa Sun is much smaller than it was a few years ago,” Journeaux said.

“That has an impact, as well as online readership. A lot of people are not getting newspapers to their door anymore.”

She said that trend has been partly offset by an increase in cardboard, which she guessed might have something to do with extra packaging from online shopping and the rise of wholesale stores like Costco.

PAPER PRODUCTS

The amount of black box materials collected (mostly paper products) was down for the fourth year in a row – a trend blamed largely on the down-

City staff are asking residents to consider the long-term trends when it comes to waste diversion in Ottawa, after fewer tonnes of organics and recycling were diverted from landfill in 2014.

A memo to council dated March 25 shows waste diversion dropped 1.3 per cent compared to 2013.

Garbage increased by the ton while organics went down. Of the three recycling streams, only blue box collection increased its volume.

The city collected waste from more homes in 2014, which accounts for some of the extra 3.9 per cent of garbage sent to landfill, but curbside diversion into recycling went down from 51.9 per cent to 50.6 per cent year over year.

Despite 2014’s slight reductions, the city points out that the overall waste diversion rate has risen more than 15 per cent since 2009, largely because of the green bin compost program which came online in 2010.

The city now diverts more than 50 per cent of residential waste away from landfills every year.

The blue box program was the only stream that marked a slight volume increase. Journeaux said audits have shown people are literally throwing away money.

For example, she said aluminum products – everything from foil wrap and lasagna trays to tin cans – are valuable and can be recycled even if they’re not very clean.

“Aluminum is worth a lot of money,” Journeaux said. “We’re not afraid of a little food.”

What the city is afraid of, however, is film plastic like food wrap and plastic bags, which currently are not accepted in Ottawa.

Journeaux said there’s no market for recycled plastic bags if they’re in any way unclean – which is virtually impossible to achieve once they’re thrown in a blue box. She suggested instead taking clean bags back to retailers for recycling.

The March 25 memo says a strategic promotions plan is in the works to better educate the public about what can go in the recycling – particularly the green bin.

“With any new change it takes time for people to adapt and get with the program,” Journeaux said.

DECISION ON 1131 TERON ROAD - The Committee of Adjustment modified the City Council zoning decision by approving a change in the setback of the larger apartment building on the property.

The decision allows for projections only, to within 3 metres of the property line. It applies only to the original design presented, so, if a change is made in the design, that decision would no longer apply.

The developer has accepted the 6 metre setback for the smaller 3-storey building beside Bethune Condominium. No site plan has yet been submitted for construction on the site. Once submitted it will be discussed with the community to ensure landscaping and other features are included.

JANE’S WALK On Saturday May 2nd at 9 am, I will be leading one of the ‘Jane’ walks in Ottawa. Starting at the end of Walden Drive at the Beaver Pond, the walk around the wetlands will focus on seeing how nature can be sustained within an urban development. On the south side of the wetlands, participants will walk on pathways between the natural areas and urban development to see how nature was integrated into the urban plan. Then, on the north side of the wetlands, a discussion will take place on how development will occur while trying to maintain linkage to the natural environment. During the tour, there will be stops along the way to see natural systems and discuss the participants’ views on what could happen in the area. The walk will take about 1.5 hours. Good footwear is required. Unfortunately, the trail is not wheelchair accessible. For information on Jane walks go to www. janeswalkottawa.ca.

PROJECT DELAYS – KLONDIKE & PARK AND RIDE Complications on the widening of the culvert on Klondike Road and complications on the addition of a multiuse pathway for pedestrians and cyclists means that construction from March Road to Sandhill will not occur until 2016. Funding has been approved and a functional design prepared, but moving to a final design requires environmental studies, acquisition of land, and detailed design work. Therefore, actual construction will not take place before next winter. A bonus is being added, as that part of the road will now also be repaved next year.

Design work on the Park and Ride for Innovation at Terry Fox has started, but will take longer as endangered species such as Butternut trees and Blanding turtles have been found on the site, and discussions with Hydro One (who have an easement over the property) are lengthy. Every effort is being made to have these resolved so that construction could start early next year.

COMMUNITY INFORMATION Williams Court will officially open the third apartment building soon, and work is proceeding to complete buildings four and five quickly.

The Marriot Hotel on Maritime Way will be completed by early 2016.

Final approval has been given for the Kanata Commons off Didsbury, which will contain The Brick and other stores.

Kent Street intersection is under construction with lane reductions and closures at the 417 while work is prepared to do a rapid bridge replacement at that location. Check updates at ottawa.ca for details.

Waste diversion down in 2014

Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, April 23, 2015 27

LRT work to shut down eastern Transitway this June Pain will be worth the gain, councillor says Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

Predictions of 16-minute delays each way once the Transitway shuts down this summer will be but a happy memory once the light-rail system opens in 2018, according to transit commission chairman Stephen Blais.

The Cumberland councillor said the service disruptions that will follow the closure of the Transitway between Hurdman and Blair stations this June are just a small bump on the road to making commutes faster for both drivers and transit users.

“We always have to be mindful of the reward and payoff at the end,” said Blais.

“East end residents are very certainly bearing the brunt of

the impacts of construction, but our reward will be the greatest.”

OC Transpo officials announced April 15 that the eastern leg of the city’s busonly Transitway will close permanently between Hurdman and Blair stations starting June 28, so crews can install light rail tracks.

The construction will close Cyrville station altogether, nix express service to Train, Hurdman and Lees stations, and add 37 new buses to reduce delays.

Some local routes will be detoured to new stop locations, while express routes like the 94 will be kicked onto the new bus-only lanes on highways 417 and 174.

For east-end residents, it’s just one more blow when it comes to ballooning commute times.

Drivers have already endured three years or more of construction backlogs through the downtown as the 417 and 174 were improved to accommodate the influx of

buses.

Now as many as 55,000 transit users will experience the same pain as they absorb an extra seven minutes of travel time to get downtown.

A smaller group, about 3,400 riders who take the 95 from Hurdman to Blair, will see their commutes swell by 13 to 16 minutes.

But that’s an easy pill to swallow if you consider what transit will look like in Orléans come 2018, said Cardinal Creek resident Sean Crossan.

“You’re going to hear some complainers, but that’s normal,” he said. “Its growth pains. That’s what you have to do to have a modern city.”

He said once LRT comes to Blair station in 2018 – and especially if it expands to Place D’Orléans as part of the city’s stage two plans – east-end residents will be “the envy of the rest of the city.”

At that point, every Orléans resident would live within five kilometres of commuter rail, and it would only take about 20 minutes to get to Tunney’s

EMMA JACKSON/METROLAND

OC Transpo general manager John Manconi, left, said the organization is doing everything it can to mitigate delays as light rail work gets underway.

Pasture, instead of crawling through cross-town rush hour traffic, Crossan said.

And commuters would be able to rely on a predictable travel schedule: no more worrying about snowstorms or car accidents holding you up.

“Light rail is going to allow us to leave our cars at the park and ride and zoom downtown in record time,” he said.

Not to mention, if stage two is approved Orléans would be the only Ottawa suburb to get light rail.

The economic development opportunities wrapped up in that are huge, Blais said; with light rail in place, governments and industry will have more reason to build offices in the community – giving Orleans residents even more opportunity to avoid downtown traffic.

TRANSITWAY DETOURS

Visit activities events restaurants travel more!

28 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, April 23, 2015

Beginning June 28, OC Transpo has a slew of transit detours, modifications and transfer changes that will

come into play to help commuters get where they’re going as quickly as possible.

A new express route 91 will accommodate the majority of route 95 users moving between downtown and Orléans, adding about seven minutes to their trip.

The westbound 91 service will stop at Blair and St. Laurent stations, skipping Cyrville, before bypassing Train, Hurdman and Lees to continue its downtown route from Campus.

The eastbound route is similar, except it won’t serve St. Laurent – express route 94 will do that, as well as the 95 and 96.

The new 91 will run between Trim/Place D’Orléans station and Baseline stations between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m.

Monday to Friday.

Other delays will impact: • Routes 20, 21, 22, 24, 27, 30, 31, 34, 35, 37, 38, 221, 231 and 232, which will take five to seven minutes longer.

• Route 94 serving Blair and St. Laurent, which will increase anywhere from four

to 12 minutes.

• Route 96 serving Hurdman and St. Laurent, set to increase by five minutes.

• Route 95, which will jump anywhere from six to 16 minutes.

The extra time comes largely from driving on the highway, said Pat Scrimgeour, OC Transpo’s manager of transit planning.

Despite the priority bus lanes, the vehicles will still have to mix with general traffic near on- and off-ramps, which will slow buses down.

OC Transpo has sunk $74 million into making sure transit service flows as smoothly as possible while the light-rail line is under construction.

About $11 million of that paid for 37 new buses (12 of which should be in service

by September) and $63 million will support costs for extra staff and fuel costs for the new buses.

Specific route change information will be updated on OC Transpo’s website by the end of May.

Let Hydro Ottawa bid on rural customers: Blais For Ottawa’s 45,000 rural residents still served by Hydro One, it’s a tale of two cities.

While urban residents pay one rate for their electricity, those served by the provincial corporation pay “significantly more,” according to Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais.

It’s a chronically unfair situation he hopes to end once and for all after 15 years of broken negotiations.

Blais will introduce a motion at the next council meeting asking Mayor Jim Watson to get a firm commitment from the province that Hydro Ottawa will be able to compete in a fair process to purchase those Hydro One customers if the province decides to sell.

“We think the time is now to ask again and to insist that we be allowed to participate in an open, transparent procurement process,” Blais said.

Buying Hydro One customers would allow those residents to slowly get to par with Hydro Ottawa rates, he said.

The time to buy is now, he said, because the province has indicated it’s willing to sell off parts of its corpora-

tion to raise money for public infrastructure projects – it’s already in the process of doing that in parts of the western Greater Toronto Area as part of a merger that would create the largest municipally-owned hydro distributor in Canada.

The province stands to make as much as $500 million in that sell-off.

Complicating matters, the province also announced on April 16 that it will “broaden ownership” of Hydro One through an initial public offering that would gradually sell off small parcels of up to 10 per cent while the province remains the largest stakeholder.

It’s unclear what impact that might have on a city’s ability to purchase the Ottawa branch of the company in the future, but Blais said if foreign equity funds and other private interests buy up the stock, the city’s chance of buying back its customers at a fair price disappears.

“A foreign bank or Bay Street equity firm isn’t going to want to break up an asset they’ve just spent hundreds of millions or billions on buying,” he said.

This isn’t the first time the city has tried to bring its residents under the Hydro Ottawa umbrella.

The issue has been on the table since amalgamation in 2001, but negotiations have always broken down, usually over the province’s high asking price.

Previously estimates have put the price tag at about $94 million for the customers and the infrastructure that serves them.

Shortly after Blais’ notice at council, energy minister Bob Chiarelli’s spokeswoman Jennifer Beaudry slammed Ottawa for refusing to take part in a binding arbitration process to resolve what the city should pay.

“This solution would have been fair to all electricity ratepayers in Ontario, including those within city of Ottawa boundaries,” Beaudry said in an email. “The current mayor refused this suggested process and to our knowledge this solution was not discussed at council.”

But Blais called that path intrinsically unfair, because it prices cash-strapped municipalities out of the market.

He said Hydro Ottawa should be able to bid on a fair market price.

“We’re not asking for it to be free, we’re not asking to get a deal or some kind of special treatment,” he said.

“We just want Hydro Ottawa to be allowed to partici-

Of course, asking for a transparent bidding process opens rural customers to the

possibility that they’ll still be snapped up by a foreign investment firm, but Blais said he’s confident the city can win – because they have to.

“What I can almost guaran-

tee is that if some Bay Street bank or Chinese equity firm bought a portion of Hydro One, we will never be able to get these customers into Ottawa,” Blais said.

Holocaust commemoration looks at yesterday, today 70 years after end of genocide, anti-Semitic violence still an issue Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

Seven decades after the end of the Holocaust, remembering the systematic genocide of European Jews has gained new importance as the number of survivors diminishes and new religious violence flares up in Western Europe.

The end of April marks a period of remembrance for those of the Jewish faith, with many solemn events held to keep alive the memory of the Holocaust, and those who perished in it.

Locally, the Jewish Federation of Ottawa partnered with the Azrieli Foundation to bring survivors and high school students together for two talks at Algonquin College on April 15 and 16.

The Toronto-based foundation – formed in 1989 by Holocaust survivor and philanthropist David Azrieli – pays to transport students to such events and covers the hosting expenses.

In its quest to preserve the memories of survivors who moved to Canada, the Azrieli Foundation has amassed journals, memoirs and other written remembrances of the survivors for publication, in order to carry on the firsthand knowledge after their passing.

The collections can be ordered for study free of charge.

“David Azrieli passed away in July – this is our first year without him,” said Jody Spiegel, director of the foun-

dation’s Holocaust Survivor Memoirs program.

“We feel, now more than ever, an urgent need to remember.”

Spiegel said the memories collected by the program, and from the survivors who travel with them to speaking engagements, allow high school students to relate because the speakers were only children when they were sent to concentration camps in Nazi-occupied territory.

“There’s a mix of stories,” said Spiegel, adding, “They wrote what they thought they should share … These are lessons and stories that go beyond geography and religion.”

Students at Algonquin, as well as those attending the JFO’s commemoration event, heard from Pinchas Gutter, a survivor of the Warsaw Ghetto and six concentration camps.

Though his entire immediate family was murdered, Gutter lived to share with others his hope for improving humanity.

By telling his story, he hopes to erode the evils of humanity and create a peaceful world.

Julien Klener, president of the Belgian Jewish community, was a “hidden child” in Brussels during the Second World War – one of many children who were handed over to non-Jewish families in a bid to save their lives.

Though the horrors of the Holocaust were 70 years ago, Klener sees a worrisome trend of anti-Semitic violence

in Western Europe, with several high-profile attacks leaving many in the Jewish community wondering where they might raise a family in safety.

In the last year alone, deadly attacks targeting Jewish people in Brussels, Paris and most recently Copenhagen have forced French and Belgian authorities to guard Jewish schools and synagogues with military forces.

Reports of lesser violence – graffiti, assaults – against Jewish people have risen dramatically as well.

“The buildings are protected by paratroopers, there’s barbed wire – what kind of a life is that?” asked Klener.

“Who wants to take their kids to a school or a synagogue where there’s soldiers patrolling with machine guns? Is that a healthy upbringing?

Don’t we have enough anxieties already?”

The unanswered question of where this trend will lead has prompted many Jewish families to consider moving to other countries, he said, adding that he doesn’t feel he is spreading panic by mentioning such things.

As a realist, Klener said all he can do is speak to those who allow him to speak, even if it is “in my own corner.”

His ideal world?

“Where all people dance together and love each other – it never happens, but we dream of such a society,” said Klener.

“Maybe one day it will happen.”

Provincial cash aims to boost social enterprise in Ottawa Ontario provides $700,000 to fund two organizations Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

Two organizations tasked with helping socially-positive businesses get off the ground received a funding boost from the provincial government on April 17.

The Ottawa Community Loan Fund and Community Foundations of Canada, both dedicated to supporting entrepreneurial efforts, were handed a total of $700,000 from the Ontario government during an event at the loan fund’s Aberdeen Street headquarters.

The funding is part of the province’s $4 million social enterprise demonstration fund, which is aimed at job-creation.

Social enterprises are businesses that aim to have a positive social and economic effect on the community and various marginalized social groups.

Speaking on behalf of Economic Development Minister Brad Duguid, Ottawa-Orleans MPP Marie-France Lalonde, who serves a parliamentary assistant to the minister, said the prov-

ince’s economy “demands a culture of entrepreneurship and innovation.”

“Social enterprise is a way for the non-profit sector to be more sustainable and continue to act as a solution provider for communities across Ontario,” said Lalonde. “Social entrepreneurs aim to have profitable ventures, but also to leave a legacy in their community and to improve their surroundings. However, access to capital is a key challenge to social entrepreneurs.”

With its $450,000, Community Foundations of Canada will create a youth catalyst fund that will provide debt and equity financing for upstart social enterprises province-wide, placing an emphasis on youth employment.

The Ottawa Community Loan Fund will use the $250,000 it received to provide financing to local fledgling enterprises.

Ottawa-Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi said that job growth and community improvements don’t need to be mutually exclusive things.

“For some time I’ve been talking about the benefits of social enter-

Admitting that Queen’s Park isn’t the right entity to determine where money should go to build such initiatives, Naqvi said the province is partnering with 11 intermediary organizations to help build the partnerships and make decisions on individual

grants and loans.

Those players can then leverage private sector funds to grow the initiative and the projects that are born from it.

Ottawa Community Loan Fund has partners in both the province and Invest Ottawa, and has already seen investors come on board - United Way Ottawa, Alterna Savings and Futurpreneur are listed among their private sector donors.

“We anticipate that this being pilot project seed funding, others will recognize the benefits and regret that they didn’t get involved earlier, and will be racing to the wire,” said loan fund president Michael Oster, thanking the organization’s partners and investors.

Community investment and mobilization played a big role in getting the attention (and the funding) of the province, said Oster.

“Our real job is to create jobs for marginalized people, characterized as wraparound services” said Oster.

“What we’re offering is a mix of services … mentorship, business plan validation, and access to accessible loan capital and adjudicated grants.”

The pilot period for the provincial fund will run for two years.

Worker may lose hand in meat grinder accident: paramedics Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A 33-year-old male restaurant worker will likely lose his right hand after it was caught in an industrial meat grinder at a restaurant in the Billings Bridge community, paramedics say.

The man’s hand became stuck in an industrial meat grinder at a restaurant, located at 1223 Kilborn Ave., while the machine was in operation, on Thursday, April 16. “(He) will probably lose his right hand,” said Ottawa paramedic spokesman J.P. Trottier.

The man’s lower forearm was also injured.

Two paramedics, a paramedic supervisor as well as seven firefighters from Station 35 in the Alta Vista neighbourhood were called at 1:22 p.m. Firefighters had to dismantle a portion of the meat grinder with hydraulic rescue tools.

“Part of the machine was still attached to him and we feared that if we were to take it off, we would do more damage, so it was (kept) in place until his arrival at hospital,” Trottier said.

Paramedics would have taken special precautions to treat the man’s hand still caught in the machine.

“There’s techniques we can use to minimize the blood loss even though we don’t have access to the wound itself,” Trottier said, adding that a tourniquet can usually be used or, if possible, paramedics can pack bandages or gauze around the wound to stem the blood loss.

Though the worker would have been in unimaginable pain, Trottier said he was conscious throughout the extrication process. Emergency responders were on scene for about 30 minutes.

Fire crews have various sizes of hydraulic tools they can use for dismantling as well as to extricate trapped people, and in this case, a smaller device would have been deployed, said Capt. Bob Rainboth, Ottawa fire department spokesman.

“It would have been a unique way of using

Police patrols on Vimy Memorial Bridge may be stepped up after wires along the pedestrian walkway at the structure are believed to have been cut and pulled from their sockets in a suspected case of vandalism.

Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish made the request for additional police presence in the area after he was alerted to the damage early last week.

Photos taken by a concerned resident show one wire had been pulled from its socket, and another severed wire with a frayed end.

Qaqish did not know which side of the bridge had been targeted, but did say that the wires are part of a railing along a sidewalk on the bridge City engineers were alerted to the damage and when they went to the site, they “determined that some of the railing issues are due to

vandalism,” he said. “They don’t just snap like that.”

Though there was no risk to pedestrian safety Qaqish said, the incident is worrisome, reason why the councillor spoke with the community police officer responsible for the area – the bridge spans the Rideau River between Riverside South and Barrhaven – and asked her to keep an out.

“We don’t have any evidence that this is sort of a systematic problem or an ongoing issue, but nonetheless I’ve flagged it with the community police officer and I’ve told her, just keep an eye on it, increase patrols and see what’s going on,” Qaqish said, adding that it’s important to be proactive.

“I’m hoping it’s just a one-off.”

A sub-contractor fixed the severed wires late last week. Some of that cost will be covered under warranty.

Hydro bills to rise 4.6 per cent on May 1 Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

Ontario residents will see a big jump in their hydro bills after May 1, after the Ontario Energy Board announced increases to its time-of-use rates.

As anticipated, the board has increased the gap between the off-peak and on-peak rates, which had been singled out as a reason for hydro users’ lack of conservation.

That gap had narrowed significantly in the years since the time-of-use pricing was introduced.

The new pricing, which will come into effect May 1, increases all rate periods, but leaves the largest increase for on-peak times.

Off-peak pricing rises 0.3 cents to 8.0 cents/ kWh, while mid-peak pricing rises 0.8 cents to 12.2 cents/ kWh, and onpeak times rise a whopping 2.1 cents to 16.1 cents/kWh. The OEB estimates the

increase will add an extra $5.71 to the average family’s electricity bill, and increase of 4.6 per cent to the bill’s total.

The large increase to on-peak times puts the ratio between cheapest time of day and most expensive at 2 to 1.

“Through recent OEB consumer research, Ontarians have signalled a need for pricing that provides greater incentives to conserve,” stated the OEB in a media release.

“This ratio shift was also recommended by Ontario’s environment commissioner, who called on the OEB to significantly widen the peak to off-peak price differential in his 2014 annual energy conservation report, ‘Planning to Conserve.’”

The price hikes mean people who shift their highest electricity use to off-peak times will still pay more than before, but not as much as if they did it during on-peak times.

In May 2010, the on-

peak rate was 9.9 cents/ kWh and the off-peak rate was 5.3 cents/kWh, meaning on-peak rates have risen by 61 per cent in five years and off-peak rates by 66 per cent.

At the beginning of next year, the 10 per cent Ontario Clean Energy Benefit will be eliminated from hydro bills, and a

new fee to subsidize the bills of lower-income earners will be added.

Though the debt retirement charge will also be retired, last month Ontario energy minister Bob Chiarelli announced that these regulatory changes alone would cause hydro bills to rise by $120 a year in the coming year.

Kanata robotics team headed to world championships First Ottawa team at FIRST world competition says All Saints group Adam Kveton

adam.Kveton@metroland.com

A team of high school robot enthusiasts from Kanata have packed their bags and their creation, and headed for St. Louis to participate in an international robotics competition.

Team ASTECHZ from All Saints Catholic High School in Kanata Lakes will be competing against students from Israel, Australia, the United States, China, parts of Europe and elsewhere to prove their mettle on the world stage.

The team is one of several in Ottawa who participate in the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) robotics competition program, which sees high school students create a new robot each year to perform tasks as part of games meant to test the designs.

Benefits of team go far beyond robot-building: captain Continued from page 37

This year, the game was called Recycle Rush and required teams of three robots to stack containers in designated areas up to six high, and then, for more points, top it off with a recycling container with a pool noodle inside.

While teams come up with many different strategies that require the robots to do different things, the ASTECHZ built a robot that works like a forklift, capable of straightening out a container and stacking them about four high, said team captain Sam McCracken.

The strategy has worked well this year, with the team winning a silver medal in this year’s Greater Toronto Region Central competition.

A FIRST

The All Saints robotics team has been participating in FIRST for seven years, but this is the first time it, or

any other Ottawa team, has made it to the world championships, said the teacher who founded the team, Paul McDonough.

Admittance to the world competition is not just based on how a team performs in a given year, but its track record over several years, the team’s involvement in its own community, how long it has participated in FIRST competitions and whether or not the team has been to worlds before.

It’s a complicated structure that has left Sam thrilled to have secured a spot among the best in the world.

“My entire life’s goal right now has been to get to worlds,” said the Grade 11 student. “I wanted to be the captain to bring us to worlds … so I could say, ‘You know what, we did this together.’”

Sam was also named a dean’s list finalist as part of the competition, with the possibility of receiving scholarships for post-secondary engineering studies.

“It just made me feel great that all this work I’ve been doing and all this time I’ve been spending doing all these things and applying myself has actually transformed into something completely tangible and impressive that can help me later on in life,” said Sam.

My entire life’s goal right now has been to get to worlds Sam McCracken

He began his journey with the school’s team in Grade 9 after participating in the school’s FIRST Lego League team since Grade 7.

He said that getting to build a robot is, at first, the major allure of the program, but that it gives way to many other skills.

In addition to learning to

use 3D modeling software, construct various robots using tools he had never seen before, safely perform electrical work and even learn some programming, building a robot for competition has some other unexpected payoffs.

“It’s not just about robots,” said McDonough. “It’s mostly about being a good member of the community and building not only fabrication skills and programming skills and that kind of thing, it’s about building real life skills.”

To pay back sponsors for their contributions to the team, team members put on demonstrations at various public events, for companies and other groups to share knowledge about robotics and technology in general.

“I’ve seen students as early as Grade 9 go off and, nervous beyond belief, do a presentation to the dean of engineering at Carleton University and once they are done, they are going, ‘Holy

cow I can’t believe I did that,’” said McDonough.

As team captain, Sam has grown confident in his public speaking and leadership skills, and says he may rely on those things more than his engineering and electrical abilities when he leaves high school.

But, for now, Sam has his

sights set on worlds.

“My hope is that, at the very, very least, we get out of our division … and get picked for the finals,” he said. “At the most, it would be nice to win the entire worlds, of course.”

The All Saints team will be competing from April 22 to the 25.

Survivor taking strides for cancer research Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Leslie Ann Black had a lot to look forward to.

At 19 weeks pregnant, she and her husband had about four and a half months to wait before they could hold their second child in their arms.

Just a few weeks earlier, doctors thought Black was miscarrying based on symptoms she was experiencing.

But her baby was fine, her heartbeat strong.

Still, Black’s symptoms persisted, and she went back to her doctor.

Three weeks later, results from a biopsy came back positive for cervical cancer.

“It was definitely unusual circumstances to be pregnant with cancer and pregnant with cervical cancer,” she said. “To get a 100 per cent clear diagnosis is impossible when you’re pregnant just because of the nature of what they need to do when you’re pregnant.”

A different plan of attack was needed, but this proved difficult since her doctors had few precedents to look to.

Terminating the pregnancy was not an option for Black.

Over the days and weeks to come there were too many questions, and not enough answers: whether to undergo surgery or receive chemotherapy.

Right away, the Findlay Creek resident said she went into “fight mode. I need to make these decisions and get all the information possible that’s out there.”

“It wasn’t my driving thought of ‘why me?’ I’m sure it happened at some point, but it was more just ... how do we get through this. It definitely was scary.”

Black and her husband, Doug, a firefighter, spent hours researching. At one point, Black received one-third of a dose of chemotherapy, before her doctors decided not to continue this route.

“It’s not a typical treatment for cervical cancer in a sense,” she said.

Typically, the first step of treatment for non-pregnant women, depending on the stage of cancer, is to undergo a radical hysterectomy.

Black’s tumour was visible, but had not invaded the sur-

rounding tissue or the lymph nodes.

Though she had very supportive family and friends, and Doug was there every step of the way, Black wasn’t aware of any other women who had been in a similar situation: being pregnant and battling cancer.

Black, an educational assistant currently on extended leave from the Catholic school board, hopes she can inspire others and give them hope by sharing her story “because we just searched endlessly for anybody in my type of situation.”

“And to know that you do come out the other side, stronger and changed and just, you can’t be really the same person as you were going into it.

It does change you,” she said.

“It changes your perspective on life.”

Less than a month before giving birth, Black took part in the Canadian Cancer Society’s 12-hour Relay for Life in Ottawa. She and her team raised more than $10,000 for cancer research that year.

“It’s just a very inspiring event to see so many people there rallying for the cause,” said Black, who had never attended the relay before.

Her doctors continued to monitor her closely, though her pregnancy made it difficult

“It’s just a very inspiring event to see so many people there rallying for the cause.”

LESLIE ANN BLACK

to accurately gauge the size of her tumour.

Her second daughter, Charlotte, arrived early, and in good health. Black underwent a hysterectomy, but did not require chemotherapy or radiation. She continues to go for medical check-ups every three months.

Last year, Black and Charlotte walked the survivor’s lap during the Relay for Life.

“It was kind of emotional when we went walking around,” Black said. “It felt good to be there and holding her.”

ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND

Leslie Ann Black was 19 weeks pregnant with her daughter Charlotte, now almost two years old, when she was diagnosed with cervical cancer. Today, the Findlay Creek resident is preparing to take part in her third Relay for Life fundraiser at the Nepean Sportsplex on June 5.

Her oldest daughter, Morgan, 6, and Morgan’s cousin got in on the cause and set up a lemonade stand last year.

They took in more than $100, helping the team again raise more than $10,000 for cancer research.

That is their goal again this year.

“We’re quite determined,” said Black.

For their fundraising efforts, she and her team of family and friends will again be holding a silent auction, from May 11 to 25. A garage sale is set to take place May 23.

For Black, the relay is about giving back after all of the support she received from friends and family, as well as her family doctor, her oncology team at the General campus of the Ottawa Hospital and the highrisk pregnancy team at the Women’s Health Centre at the hospital’s Riverside campus.

“I can’t see us stopping now,” said Black. “It’s definitely part of who we all are now.”

To donate to Black’s team, bid on an auction item and for details about the garage sale, visit facebook.com/ 2014RescuingLives.

Austen Keating became the latest addition to the Ottawa 67’s squad. The Guelph native was drafted by the team in the first round.

Ottawa 67’s draft Guelph Gryphon forward with first pick Alex Robinson alex.robinson@metroland.com

A few large dents litter the walls of the Keating family’s basement in Guelph.

The holes have become reminders of a joyous competitive spirit that has been vital in the development of Austen Keating – the youngest of four brothers who has become one of the newest members of the Ottawa 67’s.

The team’s general manager, Pat Higgins, drafted the 16-year-old forward with the 16th pick overall in the draft on April 11.

Keating and his older siblings grew up playing hockey on the rink their father, Bill, built during the winter and in their basement in the summer.

“They definitely brought toughness out in me,” Keating said in an interview. “We’ve always had that competitive nature.”

That competitive nature has served Keating well as he emerged to score 30 goals and 30 assists in 36 regular season games for the Guelph Gryphons Minor Midget AA team during his first year in midget hockey, attracting the attention of OHL scouts.

The 67’s said Keating first landed on their radar when he scored three goals and six points in five games as a bantam-aged forward playing for

the Gryphons at the OHL Cup. Expecting to be drafted in the bottom half of the first round, Keating was ecstatic when the 67’s picked him.

“When I went there for the visit, they were great to me. I met Travis Barron. He said good luck in the draft,” he said.

Keating said he first developed an affinity for Ottawa when he visited to play in the Bell Capital Cup. His desire to play in the city was cemented after he recently came to Ottawa on a scouting visit to see a 67’s playoff game.

“I was personally really excited to go to Ottawa. It’s a huge honour,” he said. “They have great players there. I think my type of player will fit in well with the Ottawa 67’s organization.”

The young forward looks up to Jonathan Toews of the Chicago Blackhawks and aspires to be like the two-time Stanley Cup winner.

“He does so many things right,” he said of Toews. “He’ll score big goals. He’ll block shots.

It seems that whatever he’s asked to do, he does it so well. That’s the kind of player I want to be.”

The 67’s finished the first three rounds of the draft by picking up a pair of defencemen in 16year-old Noel Hoefenmayer of the Don Mills Flyers and 15-year-old Hudson Wilson of the Vaughn Kings.

Forum condemns prisoner conditions, treatment at jail Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Imagine sleeping on a thin foam mattress on a concrete floor beside the only toilet, where urine gets splashed on you and staff and inmates walk on your bedding “because you’re three crowded into a space meant for one or two.”

This is day-to-day living for many prisoners at the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre, said Irene Mathias, speaking for a group of mothers of prisoners who have formed a support and advocacy group, known as Mothers Offering Mutual Support, or MOMS, which is calling for improved conditions at the Innes Road jail.

Imagine a place where medication is not being regularly administered, where telephone calls to the outside world are disconnected and access to physical activity, fresh air and natural light is restricted, where family visits are cancelled, diseases

46 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, April 23, 2015

Carleton University, who is part of the Criminalization and Punishment Education Project, a group of students and professors from Carleton and the University of Ottawa that is campaigning for the rights of prisoners at the jail.

Over the past 18 months, the group has interviewed more than 100 former and current prisoners, family members and jail employees and volunteers.

“Our taxes pay for OCDC, we vote for the provincial government that runs it. It’s our problem,” Doyle said, reason why a communitybased approach is needed.

The jail didn’t use to be like this, said former detention centre inmate Shaun Shannon, who spoke along with human rights lawyer Paul Champ, Bryonie Baxter, executive director of the Elizabeth Fry Society of Ottawa, Ottawa resident and former inmate Jim Angelis, who was eventually acquitted of second-degree murder, and

Meredith Porter, chairwoman of the new OCDC community advisory board.

When Shannon was behind bars in the late 1980s and early 1990s, he said prisoners at the jail could access a chapel, drug treatments, recreation programs, library books and a school program.

Food distribution was fair and prisoners even played ball hockey in the yard.

“People who sit around in a cell like that and have nothing to do ... just get frustrated,” he said. “You’ve got to keep yourself sane. You’re waiting to go to court, you’re always tense and you think, well, it’s a powder keg.”

While jail officials attended the forum, they did not speak publicly. Yasir Naqvi, Ontario’s minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services, sent Doyle a statement saying the ministry “has begun transforming Ontario’s correctional system with a constant focus on improved staff and inmate safety.”

Changes include providing effective rehabilitation and reintegration programs, strengthening mental-health supports and reviewing the ministry’s segregation policy.

“Conversations like this one are essential to ensuring we have a correctional system that fulfills the ministry’s objective of protective rehabilitation and reintegration,” Naqvi wrote.

The supports and policy review are among sweeping changes negotiated by human rights lawyer Paul Champ and his client, Christina Jahn, who was jailed at OCDC in 2011 and placed in solitary confinement for more than 200 days.

“We brought this case to the human rights tribunal arguing that people with men-

tal illness in prisons should not be treated by the use of segregation,” Champ said.

The case was settled, Christina was compensated and the province agreed to several legally binding promises, including studying proper facilities for treating people with mental illness while in regular detention centres, and training frontline jail staff and managers on the impact of solitary confinement and use of force on those with mental illness.

The province also agreed to provide inmates with documentation on their rights, which Jahn lobbied for after her grievances while behind bars never received a response.

“You’ve got to keep yourself sane. You’re waiting to go to court, you’re always tense and you think, well, it’s a powder keg.”

SHAUN SHANNON, FORMER INMATE

The lawyer said he recently received a ministry report that details a model for the treatment of mentally ill prisons that would make Ontario a leader in corrections.

“If it’s done the way this report recommends, I think there can be a real cultural change in corrections where we don’t just have control and custody, but we also have care and treatment,” he said.

“We don’t want people coming out as powder kegs.”

Broccoli is a healthy snack, but many of us would rather eat chips, right?

But if we add a tasty-andhealthy dip – say, spicy hummus - it’s easier to keep choosing the broccoli. Same goes for pursuing our fitness resolutions: to increase our chances for success, we have to find and attach

an effective incentive or “dip” to our goal “broccoli”. Three leading Canadian fitness experts tell you how: • Make an emotional connection to your resolution such as “I will eat more fresh fruit and vegetables to avoid the heart disease my mother had.”

• Have fun. If you aren’t hav-

ing fun, you won’t stick with it.

So make sure you are staying active by doing the things you love.

• Commit to the smallest goal so you are ensured success. This will make it more likely that you will succeed and feel great about it.

When Louis D. was first brought to the Ottawa Mission, he was a broken man.

He had been living in a tent in the bush near the Experimental Farm for six weeks and was addicted to crack cocaine.

Louis, who asked that his last name not be used, is one of dozens of homeless men that has gone through the Ottawa Mission’s addiction services this year. A large group graduated from the program’s three different stages at a ceremony on April 9.

Louis’ journey at the mission started more than five months ago. He started living in the general population area, affectionately dubbed “the jungle” by its inhabitants.

Six weeks before he arrived at the mission, Louis had taken off on his own after his partner’s family had cast him off at Thanksgiving. He spiralled into a deep, lonely existence of drug abuse until his partner found him living in his tent. She promised to get him help if he would stay

away from drugs and alcohol.

She took him to the Civic Hospital and then to the mission.

Within three weeks of being in the jungle, and attending daily group counselling sessions in the mission’s day program, Louis was offered a spot in the stabilization program.

In stabilization, participants abstain from alcohol and drugs and live in rooms separate from the general shelter population for 30 to 40 days, depending on their needs.

They go through intensive one-on-one sessions with counsellors, who guide them through their problems and their trauma.

Brush with death made this time different: Louis Continued from page 49

“Without the help from here, it’s a one way road out, and I’m not taking that road,” Louis said.

He was diagnosed with cancer in his right shoulder a few months into

the second program, but had a successful operation to remove the tumor.

He has been through rehab programs before, but said coming so close to death is what makes his recent stint different.

“I thought my life was over,” he said. “I’ve been given the opportunity to live life cancer-free. What more could you ask for?”

Louis has now graduated from stabilization and is currently in the last stage of the program, called

Lifehouse. This last stage is a fivemonth intensive program in which participants live in their own rooms in a building beside the main shelter.

Participants are gradually reintroduced to the community and to working or volunteering.

NEW DESIGNS Now Featured in Bridlewood

HN Homes and award-winning architect Christopher Simmonds are redefining modern living in Ottawa. Two brand new single family home designs are now available at Bridlewood, designed for the way families live today!

In addition to the help they get from counsellors and staff, the men in the program gain strength from each other. They share a special bond and sense of community, helping each other in their struggles.

“A lot of the times we come to a conclusion and you walk away from the table feeling much better about yourself,” Louis said of therapeutic sessions. “The support from each one is different, but you get something from everybody.”

Louis first arrived at the jungle wearing nothing but a pair of long johns, shoes and a T-shirt. He had broken glasses and had trouble hearing. He strolled through the Lifehouse complex on the day of his graduation from stabilization wearing a collared shirt, tie and vest, with new glasses and a pair of hearing aids given to him by the mission.

“They rebuilt me,” he said.

More than 70 people graduated from the stabilization program in 2014 and 22 completed the Lifehouse program. The mission continues to offer support to anyone who has graduated from Lifehouse and still needs counselling.

The shelter operates two secondstep homes in the city for a total of 11 men to continue counselling services after they complete an addiction treatment program.

For Louis and so many of the men who have poured through the shelter’s doors, their journey through its addiction services programs have given them another chance.

“I’m a clean person now, in more than one way,” he said.

Ottawa’s Talent Exposed to the Vancouver Whitecaps FC Residency program From April 10th - 12th talented male players, ages fourteen to seventeen had an opportunity to impress Craig Dalrymple, Technical Director for the Vancouver Whitecaps (MLS) Residency program.

With the likes of Vana Markarian and Dario Conte (both Force Academy graduates) already in the Whitecaps system, Dalrymple knew there had to be more talented players in the Ottawa region ready to springboard themselves into a professional academy. Close to eighty (80) boys took part over the threeday event which began with presenting the Whitecaps FC youth development system to the players and their families, followed by a chance to step on the field over the weekend and showcase their ability. OSU is thankful to soccer community in Ottawa, in particular our affiliates Gloucester Hornets along with Cumberland Cobras and Capital United for their support in having their talented players attend the event.

Megan DeLaire/metroland

Centre stage The cast of Amy and the Moonfrogs, from left, Karuna Vellino, Glenys Marshall, Abby Skene, Sarah Olberg and Noah Boonov, all 16. They were among the Grade 11 students who performed on April 18 as part of Canterbury High School Children’s Theatre.

Ultimately, the purpose of the event was to give players an opportunity to move on to the next level. Whitecaps FC are regarded as one of the top programs in North America, they have produced 8 MLS home-grown players over the past few seasons which illustrates this. Players who attended the event will now be part of the broader Whitecaps scouting database and continue to be monitored and compared to the top talent across the country.

It is believed that boys across each age will be invited to Vancouver now to participate in further trials with Whitecaps FC. This represents another tangible opportunity provided by OSU, not only to OSU players but also to the talented boys across the region, regardless of their club affiliation.

Looking back on the past weekends Ottawa Combine, “the Whitecaps FC Residency program is committed to identifying high potential players in Western Canada and neutral MLS territories in Canada, with the objective to invite them into our full time and fully funded Residency program. Ottawa has proven to be a hot spot for young promising soccer players, clearly the work of the community infrastructure is providing a good foundation for player development. This inaugural player identification combine hosted and supported by the Ottawa South United SC was a tremendous success. The event was open to all high performance players in Ottawa and the surrounding neutral territories, and there was a pleasing amount of talent on display from a number of clubs. I am pleased to report that players from all attending age groups (2001 to 1999) have been identified as top prospects. I want to thank the soccer community in Ottawa for supporting this tremendous player identification initiative, and look forward to continuing to identify players in the Ottawa region” noted Craig Dalrymple.

Seed ordering was one exciting yearly tradition

B

y the time Mother had written out her order on the last sheet of the SteeleBriggs seed catalogue, the pages were practically in shreds after many hours of pouring over the choices she would make.

The little catalogue would arrive early in the spring, and the cover would be masses of bright flowers, some I had never heard of, and certainly would never find their way into the flower beds out in Renfrew County.

But anyway, flowers weren’t what Mother was interested in. Her interest was in the pages

MARY COOK

Memories

of vegetables, all listed alphabetically and looking so real, it seemed you could just pick them up and eat them.

Father could never understand why Mother even bothered with ordering packets of seeds

from the Steele-Briggs catalogue -- you could get the same seeds right down the road at Briscoe’s General Store. Mother knew that, but she said there was something about ordering seeds from some far off place, and besides, there was a written notice that satisfaction was guaranteed or you would get your money back.

I asked Mother if that meant if the seeds didn’t turn into vegetables, would SteeleBriggs send back the few dollars she had laid out. “That’s exactly what that means,” she would say, with a firm nod of her head. “Fat chance,” Father would say from his place near

the Findlay Oval.

From the day the little catalogue arrived, it rarely left the end of the old pine table in the kitchen. Mother liked nothing better than to thumb through its pages, and with a pencil put an “X” beside what she thought she might order. Seeds for tomatoes, cucumbers and beans seemed to interest her the most, while pictures of big green watermelons kept me captive, and I hoped with all my heart that Mother would put a pencil mark beside the picture that took most of one page.

Finally, she would have made her choices.

The form was filled in from the back of the catalogue, and the order sent off in the mail in an envelope with a three cent stamp.

Now, the wait began. And it was beyond my imagination how by simply writing a few lines on a piece of paper and sending it off to some far off city that in due time a packet would arrive with all the seeds my Mother had ordered. Of course, the entire mail system was a complete mystery to me to begin with.

But then, just days after the order had been sent in, there the box would be. Sometimes it would come from Montreal, and sometimes all the way from out west -- another miracle as far as I was concerned. Of course, Mother would have to have the money in her hand to pay for the seeds, because the box would come to us C.O.D. See GARDEN, page 53

Garden was a miracle Continued from page 52

Mother knew how much I loved seeing the box of seeds, and so the day it would arrive, she wouldn’t open it until after supper, and I was allowed to get the scissors out of the sewing machine drawer and cut the strings and open the box.

And there would be all those beautiful packets of seeds, just like the pictures in the catalogue. I would line them up on the table after the kitchen had been cleaned up, and stand them up against a drinking glass, all in order, so that I could see them better. Everything was in vivid colours. The tomatoes were the brightest red, and the cucumbers vivid green.

I would take a packet over to show Father sitting beside the Findlay Oval, and he would look it over, make a grunting sound without taking his pipe out of his mouth, and that would be it. And sometime during the evening, he would again say the very same

seeds could be bought right down the road at Briscoe’s General Store, and you wouldn’t have had to waste three cents on a stamp either.

But nothing could dampen my joy of playing with those crisp little packets of seeds.

Soon Mother would plant them in little wood boxes Father had made years before, and they would sit in the kitchen until they sprouted and it was time to move them to the garden.

I watched them daily, and when the first spot of green appeared, I was ecstatic. I’m not sure if I was more excited about the actual growth of the plants, or marvelling again at the fact that by simply sitting down at the kitchen table and sending off an order to some far away city, a parcel would arrive.

And that parcel in due course would turn into an ample garden and feed us for months to come.

Yes, a miracle indeed. All for the cost of a three cent stamp.

Roasted beet salad unique side dish

I will pay $15 for the kettle

Roasting the beets brings out their sweetness, and the cranberries provide a sweettart finish to this salad. Preparation time: 20 minutes. Baking time: 45 to 60 minutes.

Cooking time: 10 minutes.

Serves six.

Make it $20 and its yours.

Ingredients

• 3 each red and gold beets (about 1 kg/2 lb) • 250 ml (1 cup) frozen cranberries • 125 ml (1/2 cup) cranberry juice or water • 45 ml (3 tbsp) granulated sugar • 25 ml (2 tbsp) red wine vinegar or raspberry vinegar • 50 ml (1/4 cup) finely sliced red onion Garnish: fresh pea sprouts or herbs (optional) Preparation

Trim the tops and tips of the beets, leaving about 2.5 cm (1-inch) stems. Wrap each

beet individually with foil, and place on a baking sheet. Bake in a 190 C (375 F) oven for 45 to 60 minutes or until tender when pierced with a sharp knife. Remove from the foil and let cool slightly, then trim the ends and slip off the skins.

Cut the beets into quarters and place them in a large bowl.

In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, juice, sugar and vinegar, and bring to a boil over high heat.

Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring often, for five minutes, using a masher to crush the berries after three minutes. Cook until it takes on a jam-like consistency.

Stir the cranberry mixture and onion into the beets until it’s combined. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Garnish with pea sprouts, if you’re using them.

Students fly north for cultural exchange

A group of students and teachers from Mother Teresa High School gather on April 15, one day before departing for Igloolik, Nunavut.

Students from Mother Teresa High School headed to Igloolik, Nunavut last week for a unique cultural exchange, taking with them 53 pairs of donated ice skates.

The 16 students from grades 9 through 12 were scheduled to leave Ottawa on April 16 for the immersive 10day experience, returning on April 26, 53 pairs of skates lighter and no doubt a little wiser.

The students were paired with counterparts from Ataguttaaluk High School in Igloolik, who will travel to Ottawa from May 16 to 24 for the second portion of the exchange.

The Mother Teresa group planned to spend the week attending classes at Ataguttaalukl, exploring the landscape, participating in traditional activities like ice fishing and igloo building, and joining residents of Igloolik for communal feasts and ceremonies.

Each year the Society for Educational Visits and Exchanges in Canada facilitates exchanges like this one. Travel expenses to and from Igloolik will be covered by SEVEC, while tour services, food and shelter in Igloolik will be provided voluntarily by the community.

Kevin Nearing is a co-operative education teacher at Mother Teresa and a veteran of the SEVEC exchange trip to Nunavut. He and two other teachers were to travel to Igloolik with the students.

He says the participatory nature of the exchange is very much in line with the school’s ethos.

“It’s a complete cultural immersion.

So the students will be acting like Inuit students for the 10 days that they’re there,” Nearing said. “We specialize in experiential learning, which is learning by doing. And what better way to learn about a culture than to go to that culture and be immersed in it.”

The group started preparing for the trip in December, meeting over lunch on Thursdays to discuss what conditions – both environmental and social – to expect in Nunavut. They also discussed ice skates. According to Nearing, the need for ice skates in Igloolik was expressed to SEVEC by Ataguttaaluk vice-principal Jay Williams, who is a former Mother Theresa teacher.

High school students travel to Nunavut with 53 pairs of skates school ice skating activities due to a lack of skates.

So Mother Teresa students, led

by Grade 9 student Scott Peasley, began to canvas their high school community for used ice skates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody in the group donat-

Continued from page 65

When asked by SEVEC what students from Mother Teresa could offer to their Northern counterparts, Williams said that not all students at Ataguttaaluk could participate in

ed at least two pairs of skates, so there was good participation from the rest of the group,â&#x20AC;? Scott said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After everybody said how many they had, we still had quite a few to go.â&#x20AC;?

So with the group shy of their

goal of 50 pairs of skates, Scott contacted the owner of Play it Again Sports in Barrhaven to ask for his leftover end-of-season ice skates and collected those.

The group has also raised funds to offset the costs of their Northern counterpartsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; visit to Ottawa in May. With the collection of ice skates and raising of funds complete, Scott had some time before his departure to Igloolik to reďŹ&#x201A;ect on what aspects of the trip he was most anticipating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to being

out on the land,â&#x20AC;? Scott said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Learning how they stay warm and live off the land and keep their traditions and cultural stuff alive.

How they keep their traditions moving from generation to generation.â&#x20AC;?

With a history going back 4,000 years, Igloolik should provide the perfect backdrop for the students to learn about Inuit traditions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a culturally rich community with a lot of heritage,â&#x20AC;? Nearing said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be going to some of the old sites that were part of that community from years ago.â&#x20AC;?
