Man dies in crash on Plans switched for Kanata Fallowfield at Eagleson tennis courts, soccer fields adam.kveton@metroland.com

A man died after a single car crash on Fallowfield Road at Eagleson Road early on April 26.Ottawa paramedics arrived on scene at about 4 a.m. and found one of two occupants ejected about 15 metres from the vehicle, which had rolled over, said Ottawa Paramedic Service spokesperson, J.P. Trottier.  Paramedics pronounced the ejected man dead at the scene. He was 23 years old, said Trottier. The second occupant of the vehicle, also a 23-year-old male, was sent to hospital in stable condition, he said. The man was treated by paramedics for back pain, an arm injury and a laceration to the head, said Trottier. “He was in stable condition, good vital signs throughout, awake

throughout,� he said, and his injuries were not life threatening. The crash left closures along Eagleson Road and Fallowfield Road for several hours, said police. The incident is now under investigation, and police are asking that anyone with information about it contact the Ottawa Police Collision Investigation Unit at 613 236 1222. Another motor vehicle accident in Kanata occurred April 26, this time on March Road between Morgan’s Grant Way and Terry Fox Drive. The southbound lanes of March Road were closed after a motorcycle collided with a car, leaving the motorcycle driver unconscious. Paramedics received a call at about 12:53 p.m., said Trottier. The motorcyclist, believed to be in his 50s, had sustained life-threatening injuries and was

Residents near Crownridge Park in Bridlewood will now enjoy brand new tennis courts instead of soccer fields, if council supports the change. Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley passed a motion at planning committee on April 14 to increase the front-end funding agreement for Crownridge Park in the new Monahan Landing development by about $25,000. The change was basically a transfer of funds from one park to another, Hubley said. There are currently two parks under construction in the Bridlewood development: Meadowbreeze, which is being expanded to about double its current size, and Crownridge, which is

brand new. The original plans called for tennis courts at Meadowbreeze and soccer fields at Crownridge. But since Meadowbreeze already has several wellused soccer facilities, Hubley said it made more sense to put all of the fields together and move the tennis courts to Crownridge where he said they can be “bigger and better.� The money, of course, must be transferred along with it. “The intent was to take some surplus funds from one account and move it over to another park,� Hubley said. The parks are due to be built this summer, but Hubley said there are a few changes that could still come down the pipe in the next month. That includes a decision

on whether or not to invest in a permanent National Hockey League-sized rink at Meadowbreeze, or to install temporary boards every winter. A permanent rink would have a cement pad that could be used year-round for ball or ice hockey, and would require lower mainte-

nance costs in the long run. But a temporary rink would open up more green space for kids to run around and “just be kids� in the summer months, Hubley said. “It’s not like there’s a wrong answer here,� he said. It will all come down to cost. A permanent cement pad could cost up to $100,000 for a rink that size, Hubley said, and if that’s the case “it may not happen.� He expects to know more in the next month once estimates from the contractor arrive.

“You don’t have to fit into a mold. You are completely valid in whatever and whoever you are,” she said. That’s part of a message she said she would send to the youth who attend Haven youth centre. But being comfortable in your own skin is not something that life will hand you, she said. “A lot of people say, ‘It gets better,’ … I wholeheartedly do not believe that. But I believe that you can make your own

Diane McNulty, the executive director of the youth centre, said that, while the idea for the show seemed a little wild at first, it’s actually a “perfect fit” for the youth centre. “(Burlesque) is unique, it’s innovative, it’s empowering, and that’s basically what our youth centre is all about too,” she said. The idea for the event came from Pink Triangle Services, an organization that is helping Haven to hold its new LGBTQ youth drop in on the first Thursday of every month at the Dick Brule Community Centre. Though McNulty thought the idea of a burlesque fundraiser seemed strange at first, she said, “You know what? Kanata has not done anything like that before, and we are a unique youth centre, so why not, let’s do something unique.” Though burlesque shows might not come to Kanata very often if at all, at least one burlesque dancer has come out of Kanata. Miss Helvetica Bold, one of the performers at the burlesque fundraiser, said she grew up in Kanata and used Haven’s services for a few years. “Having been a former client, I understand how important this service is, and how badly the youth need it,” she said of Haven. “It needs to keep running.” Miss Helvetica Bold is her stage name, used as a way to express herself as well as for privacy purposes. She said burlesque might look like women taking off most of their clothes, but a lot more is going on. People of all genders, orientations and sizes are welcomed and are celebrated for their performance, their body and their sexuality. “While it can be quite a bit about sexual expression, it is also about radical self-love and just being comfortable in your sexuality,” she said. “For a lot of women, it’s (about) being comfortable in your femininity and expressing that and sharing it with other women and validating other people by showing them it’s OK to be sexual. It’s OK to look like this. It’s OK to be creative with your gender expression,” said Bold.

Ottawa & Area - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away altogether. In most cases, you can make a

Volunteers celebrated with third annual Kanata North awards Disability/seniors activist, community garden highlighted Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

Dozens of north Kanata community members gathered at the Mlacak Centre to celebrate some of their most remarkable volunteers on April 19. The third annual Kanata North Community Recognition Awards paid tribute to 18 nominees in total, and awarded plaques to three individuals and one organization. The Kanata North Community Garden was recognized as the organization of the year, after just one full season in operation. Val Collins, a volunteer and advisor for the garden, said it was exciting for volunteers with the garden, especially members of the Kanata Chinese Seniors Support Centre who were a driving force behind its creation, to see that the garden is getting recognition. “The Kanata North Community Garden has built into their bylaws that 10 per cent of all the garden boxes grow food for the Kanata Food Cupboard, so it’s a community asset,” said Collins. The garden is also used to teach children and adults alike more about growing their own food, and has helped to create a knowledge sharing space for gardeners of different cultures, especially Chinese seniors. Wen Jean Ho, president of the Chinese seniors centre, said the seniors were very happy to know the garden won a recognition award, and that, despite some doubts, they banded to-

This year’s Citizen of the Year winner was Beaverbrook resident Hugh Nelson. A volunteer and activist for people with disabilities and seniors, Nelson has been involved with several citywide initiatives, including being a member of the steering committee

for Age Friendly Ottawa, which secured a commitment from city council to become an age-friendly city. A member of the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association as former secretary and treasurer, Nelson also worked with people with disabilities as a front line worker for 43 years. His interest in helping people with

disabilities started at a young age, he said. “In Grade 9, I had a friend who had epilepsy, and I came out one day and another friend of mine was beating that person up, and I pulled him off I said, ‘Why are you doing that?’ And he said, ‘He’s different. I can.’ And that really stuck with me,” said Nelson.

He said he was thrilled that a neighbour would take the time to nominate him for the award. Nasser Nayed, a Grade 6 student at W. Erskine Johnston Public School, was the Youth Citizen of the Year winner, nominated for his volunteer work at arts events, including the Enchanted Mosaic Benefit Concert in 2014, and for starting Just Dance parties during recess at his school on days with poor weather. Bernard Muzeen was awarded Senior Citizen of the Year. Muzeen has volunteered his time both in Kanata and across Ottawa for more than 15 years, and was unable to attend the ceremony due to another volunteering position: selling 50/50 raffle tickets for the Ottawa Senators Foundation during the April 19 playoff game. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, who hosts the awards, said all this year’s nominees were strong and deserving of the top award. “Volunteering is such an important activity in a community,” she said, especially when it comes to activities for youth and seniors. “We wouldn’t have very many youth activities if it wasn’t for volunteers,” said Wilkinson, in addition to organizations like the Kanata Food Cupboard which rely on many volunteers every year. The Kanata North Community Recognition Awards were restarted three years ago after the city ceased holding recognition awards for individual communities. “There are a lot of people doing a lot of good work that should still be recognized, so I thought I would start doing one in the community again,” said Wilkinson, adding that several other councillors have done the same.

Getting Ottawa’s slice of the pie

W

ith both the federal and provincial governments showing their hands when it comes to transit infrastructure funding last week it will be incumbent on city council to ensure Ottawa gets its slice of the pie. With planning efforts in full swing for Phase 2 of Ottawa’s light rail system, both senior levels of government flashed the cash for municipal transit projects. The federal government will be establishing stable, regular funding that will reach $1 billion per year by 2019. How that money will be doled out remains to be seen, but one would imagine there will be a portion of that available to Ottawa. The province, meanwhile, announced in its 201516 budget that it will be spending $31.5 billion in the next decade on transit, nearly half of that sum outside the Greater Toronto-Hamilton area. This news came days after Queen’s Park committed to footing the whole bill for the $1.6-billion light rail project planned for Mississauga and Brampton. With so much money whirling around for transit, the onus now falls to Mayor Jim Watson and city

councillors to ensure that when the bill comes in for the next phase of Ottawa’s transit system, that residents aren’t stuck with an undue portion of the bill. Watson has said that it would be “ideal� for another level of government to pick up the tab for new rails running to Orleans, Bayshore and Algonquin College, but the efforts to secure that funding must start now and must be relentless. Ottawa has forged ahead boldly in the past decade with transit plans, securing funding from the federal and provincial governments, but also helping to pay its own way. Other cities in Ontario have kicked and screamed about the dire need for better transit and the lack of means to pay for it. They’ve proven at least a bit successful in getting it. There is a certain pride in paying for something yourself, but it can also make one feel like a sucker for not begging for a free lunch. Toronto has shown little pride in grovelling for money from the province, and it also has lower transit fares than Ottawa. With so much money now on the table, it’s time Ottawa demanded its fair share.

Anthem deserves appropriate occasions

A

lthough we usually take it for granted and mostly pay no attention to it, every once in a while the national anthem makes the news. Sometimes it is because someone finds a word or two offensive and recommends a change. Given how easily people take offence these days, it happens quite frequently. Nothing much usually comes of it. But sometimes the actual singing of the national anthem gets into the news. That usually happens because someone mangles or forgets the words or, as in one memorable U.S. example, makes up a new melody. This time O Canada is getting attention because hockey playoffs are on and they can’t begin until the anthem has been sung. Anthem

called the O’s. It’s a bit tacky, isn’t it, the anthem being used for partisan purposes and it’s yet another reason to stop singing it. Over the years, national anthems have been cheapened. Where once the anthem was sung straightforwardly and with a steady pulse, it often becomes, in the wrong hands, a torch song, dripping with phony emotion and lasting forever, evoking not the true north but Las Vegas. The great anthem singers – Lyndon Slewidge, Roger Doucette in Montreal, the great opera singer Robert Merrill in New York – were never guilty of that sort of thing, but in far too many cases, the anthem has become a kind of performance piece, and all you want is for it to be over.

when, as so often happens here, it’s necessary to have two anthems. It’s not surprising that the anthem has been juiced up of late. The anthem was becoming routine. But the reason it was becoming routine is because it was being performed on routine occasions – at every game, important or not. Sometimes it is sung at school concerts, at local government meetings. Once I heard it sung when the Parliament Hill Christmas lights were turned on. Fortunately, they don’t play it at the movies any more. The thing is, when we play or sing the anthem at trivial occasions, what is left for the important occasions? The anthem needs to have its dignity reinforced, its sense of occasion restored. At the right moment and in the right hands, it’s a fine anthem. The only way to save it from itself is to stop singing it, except when it really matters.

Teaching kids about dollars and cents

A

pril flew by. “Did you file your taxes?” Not a question one’s child would normally ask. But my eldest did just that. As a business owner, I was up to my eyeballs in receipts and spreadsheets earlier this month. Perhaps his base level knowledge of the tax game was me repeatedly saying, “Don’t come in the family room – I’ve got receipts all over the place!” But I like to think his understanding, at age 10, goes beyond this. My kids aren’t immune to a bit of spoiling now and again. We’ve been rather inconsistent with allowance money, truth known. But we have tried to consistently send the message that things cost money, so purchases have to be planned, considered and compared. Last year, for example, my son won a fundraising competition at his school. The prize was a $150 gift certificate for a shopping mall. For two years, he’d wanted to buy a portable gaming system. I took him to the mall to have a look. The first store had the game system available for $150. I explained to him there would be tax over and above the price and that he’d have no money left over for a

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse game. “I don’t care, mom,” he said. “I’ll save up for a game.” I suggested we go to another store in the mall. He was really frustrated. The consumer in him wanted

Besides teaching kids to comparison shop, be honest about how money comes in and out. to make the purchase immediately. But off we went, begrudgingly. I got lucky. The second store had the game system on sale for $50 off and games discounted by 30 per cent. For a few bucks over his $150, he got the player and the game. He paid me the extra tax money

from his allowance jar when we got home. It was a good lesson in shopping around, something recommended in a recent article on Parents.com. The article offered age-by-age tips for teaching kids about money. One of the clear lessons for all ages – teach kids the value of money, even when they’re too young to really understand that the bigger coin (nickel) isn’t worth more than the little one (dime). Besides teaching kids to comparison shop, be honest about how money comes in and out. My children see our monthly household budget so when we book vacations or choose sale items at the grocery store, or stay in for dinner, they know precisely why we’ve made those choices. The Parents.com article talks about pre-loaded credit cards for teens to help them

budget their allowance. But I’m a fan of cash. I find it’s easier to see what one is spending when one can count the coins. I frequently send my children to the corner store for supplies or treats. A simple exercise, but they know how to quickly work out 13 per cent tax (almost), and they always ask for a receipt, so they can present it to me with the change. Seeing what’s leftover is important. My eldest was asking to play two sports this summer. I’d already registered him

for one which represents a good chunk of his recreation budget for the year. I showed him the receipts and asked him how we would come up with money for the extra sport, plus equipment. He did a bit of digging and realized he didn’t need special equipment because it would be provided, but there was still the issue of the registration fee. In January he had $50 saved from his own allowance. He said he would approach his grandparents and ask for money toward the registration fee R017 3078702

for birthday and Christmas instead of material gifts. (Grandparents can be great banks). In the end, he saved up 75 per cent of the fee and deposited it into his savings account. Now ready, I had him get online and fill out the registration form. It took him almost an hour, which gave him a new appreciation of the time and money to get him to his goal. It’s easy to throw money at kids for activities, treats or birthday parties. But if you want them to become responsible consumers and budgeters, treat these occasions as opportunities to learn about money. It makes good sense (cents).

A new respect in hockey program will launch next season for all minor hockey clubs who are a part of Hockey Eastern Ontario. The announcement was made at the Richcraft Sensplex on April 20 by Hockey Eastern Ontario officials and representatives from the Respect Sport Group. One parent or guardian for every player in the initiation and novice levels in Hockey Eastern Ontario clubs will be required to take the one hour, online course every year. A parent or guardian of a new registrant up to the midget level (17 year olds), will be required to take the course once. The $12 cost will fall to each individual who takes the

course, unless the hockey association bulk purchases access codes and includes these as part of the fee in registration costs. The course will cover a variety of topics, ranging from injury prevention and how to have positive relationships with coaches and referees, to how to deal with abuse or harassment. Mark Allen, from Respect Sport Group, said ideally the entire family would take the course, though it’s only mandatory for one parent or guardian to take the course. It’s already mandated in many province’s hockey programs, including Manitoba, where the Respect Sport Group’s first program, one designed for coaches, first started. Coaches requested a unit be developed for parents, which

was launched with Hockey Calgary. Respect Sport Group was co-founded by Sheldon Kennedy, who attended the Ottawa announcement. Kennedy is a former NHL player who was sexually abused by a junior hockey coach. He’s since become an advocate for awareness of child abuse and the psychological effects abuse can have on a person. “I remember back in 1997, and I remember the discussions,” he said, about the time period when his former hockey coach was jailed for Kennedy’s sexual assault. “I think hockey was faced with a decision to make. What are we going to do about a situation that happened? And I saw now, there is no youth-serving organization besides Hockey Canada that has done so much about these

issues.” He said hockey isn’t a place that breeds bad people, but the rink can be a place that situations can be addressed and problems solved. “The safest place for these kids a lot of times, is in our rinks,” he said. “We need to give the adults the tools to handle these cases and situations and have these conversations when needed.” He said a child having issues at home may choose to tell a coach, manager, or teammate’s parent. “It can be a great benefit in this day and age for our kids to be great young people. And I think if that is our focus, they’ll become great hockey players,” Kennedy said. “But the focus has to shift a little bit into making sure we grow great people.”

SERVING KANATA NORTH

City Councillor, Kanata North GREAT OPPORTUNITY - YOUTH CHOIR IN KANATA NORTH provides an opportunity for young singers age 7-17 to receive wonderful voice training. They just celebrated Earth Day with a special concert that I thoroughly enjoyed. This Parish of March Youth Choir is open to all in the community. It is led by Laura Hawley, an experienced, professional choir leader who has exceptional talent in working with youth. For details contact her at laurahawley@hotmail.com. CYCLING ACCIDENT – DRIVE AND CYCLE SAFELY - Last week a young cyclist in Kanata North was hit by a vehicle when returning home from school. Although his injuries were described as minor, all children need to be protected from any injury. Drivers need to slow down, particularly when children are going to or from school, stop and wait when a school bus has its lights flashing and to watch out for all pedestrians and cyclists. If your child rides a bike make certain the rules of the road are followed – stop at stop signs and where paths cross a road. Make certain the way is clear, wear a helmet and ensure that the bike has a bell and lights (both are mandatory). Hopefully schools will provide training on safe cycling practises for their students so that accidents don’t happen. MY JANE’S WALK IS THIS SATURDAY STARTING AT THE BEAVER POND Join me on Saturday May 2, at 9 am at the end of Walden Drive for a walk around the wetland and discussion on how nature can be sustained even when urban development occurs.

DID YOU KNOW? That the Kanata North Business Park is the largest technology park in Canada? Stories about how it grew from a small group of businesses in the beginning, to having more than 500 companies is part of Kanata’s history. Do you have a story about a business that you could pass on to me?

BRIER DODGE/METROLAND

A portable set up at the edge of the Ottawa Carleton Detention Centre on Innes Road displays the strike headquarters sign. Correctional workers may go on strike if a deal isn’t reached with the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services.

Correctional officers at Innes Road jail on standby for strike Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

In the wake of multiple media reports about the issues caused by understaffing at the Ottawa Carleton Detention Centre, the correctional officers are on standby to strike. The strike however, doesn’t have much to do with the guards’ complaints of chronic understaffing, and more to do with typical contract negotiations, which focus on contract issues such as wages. “We’re on standby for an all out strike across Ontario with OFSU (the correctional workers’ union) and corrections,” said OPSEU local 411 president Denis Collin. “Right now they’ve come to an impasse at the negotiating table.” He said before a strike happens, an essential services agreement that determines what work is essential – because of the job correctional officers do, they can’t just all walk out at once and leave the jail unattended. But Collin said the staffing is so bare bones, facilities are already operating at an essential services level.

At a public forum held on April 15 at city hall, former inmates of the Innes Road jail, a human rights lawyer and representatives from a number of groups and organizations advocating for change, spoke of poor conditions at the detention centre, as well as overcrowding and limited or cancelled visiting hours due to a shortage of jail staff. “The staffing level hasn’t gone up for a long time, but the demands have increased,” Collin said. “It’s been so long that we’ve had staff that basically Ottawa is on a day-to-day basis, we’re working essentially at an essential services level.” The jail has 175 full-time staff, which has been consistent. Where the inbalance has grown is in the decrease of fixed-term employees, who work full time but receive pay in lieu of benefits. While the number of fixed-term employees has shrunk to about 20, Collin said, they used to have more than 100 fixed-term employees a decade ago. Not only has the number of fixed-term employees shrunk, the jail’s population has grown. “I could hire 60 fixed-term staff, give them a

very good living, and we’d absorb them easily. It’s those kind of numbers you need,” he said. A written statement from the office of Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi, minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services, said 450 new correctional officers have been hired since 2013, which includes 11 at the OttawaCarleton Detention Centre. It said the ministry anticipates hiring an additional 300 correctional officers province wide by the end of 2015, and the addition of 380 beds - though the beds are part of new detention centre in Toronto and Windsor, not in Ottawa. The negotiations will take time, Collin said it could be a matter of weeks, or it could be longer. “Negotiations could take a bit of time,” he said. “Even though I say that, we could come up in a couple of weeks and suddenly it could be announced we’re going to be going on strike.” A portable with a large sign that says “strike headquarters” has been set up on the edge of the jail on Innes Road. See DETENTION, page 13

Detention centre running on bare bones staff: union Collin said there is a large building in the back of the correctional facility that was built by the provincial government to house outside workers or supervisors in case of a strike that began construction last May. “It’s the worst best kept secret that there is some infrastructure that has been put together,” Collin said. “That’s’ why we feel, no matter what happens, the strike was orchestrated.” Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services said it’s important to have plans in place in case of disruptions to normal operating routines – such as a strike – and described the nature of the project. “Work is ongoing at some of our correctional facilities which will help to ensure public safety and the well-being of both staff and inmates, while provid-

plans in place to ensure that essential operations and services are maintained, including health care services, meals, and transportation of inmates to and from court.” It also said they will not discuss specifics of the negotiations with OPSEU in the media.

Safer communities is ministry’s focus To the Editor,

Building safer, stronger communities for all is something our government is focused on every day and something we know involves transforming our correctional system to finally break the cycle of re-offending. For us, this transformation must centre around improved staff and inmate safety, increased access to rehabilitation programs, enhanced mental health supports, and community-based reintegration partnerships. It must be done by working with our correctional staff and partners, civil liberty and

mental health experts, the judiciary, and our community partners in these key areas. This work has already started. We are hiring more correctional officers, more mental health nurses, developed Canada’s most progressive policy for the placement and treatment of transgendered inmates, and a comprehensive review of our segregation policy is now underway. Capacity is an issue in jails across Canada. In Ontario, 60 per cent of people in jails are being held in custody awaiting trial, not yet sentenced. It is clear that we cannot punish our way to a safer community.

We cannot break the cycle by simply building more jails. We can only build safer communities by working together. Better rehabilitation, mental health supports, and reintegration programs is about one thing – being smart on crime, reducing the number of people in our jails, and building safer communities for all. I recognize that this will not happen overnight and it will not be easy, but the stakes are too high, and the opportunity to help so many Ontarians to transform their lives is too great to overlook. I am up to the challenge.

Strikes loom as elementary, Catholic teachers vote in favour

Yasir Naqvi, Ontario Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services

Both groups return strike vote as walkouts begin in province Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

Ontario parents are likely getting apprehensive after both the public elementary and Catholic teachers’ unions voted in favour of strike action. Public secondary school teachers have already taken to the picket line in Sudbury and Durham region, with warnings that the Ottawa could follow, although the discussions continue amongst bargaining parties in that area. On April 24, the Ontario English Catholic Teachers’ Association returned a strike vote of 94.2 per cent in the wake of an unpalatable bargaining proposal from the provincial government. In a media statement, the association stated that the strike vote was not the result of the provincial Liberals’

recently-released austerity budget. “The initial proposal includes provisions, many of them non-monetary, that eradicate the most fundamental of teacher’s rights,” reads the statement. “The government is using the provincial deficit as a smokescreen to allow school boards to take equitable, long-standing rights away from teachers.” The release cites school boards gaining the ability to dictate working conditions as one of the reasons for the strike mandate, ending with an appeal for their employer to return to the bargaining table. The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario, meanwhile, could see its members hitting the streets on May 10, having received a no-board report from the province’s Ministry of Labour. The legal

strike position was also announced on April 24. “A ‘no board’ report doesn’t mean negotiations have ended,” said ETFO president Sam Hammond in a media release. “ETFO continues to be open to meaningful bargaining that meets the needs and respects the professionalism of our members. But ETFO members are running out of patience. They’ve seen the changes that (the Ontario Public School Boards’ Association), in particular, has been demanding. Our members are telling us they are deeply offended by the insinuations that their professional practice needs to be policed by OPSBA.” Under the province’s Labour Relations Act, a minimum of five days’ notice is required to be given to school boards before any strike action taken by the OSSTF.

Henderson brings security Home

Minor midget level for AAA hockey players to be axed Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

A three-year pilot program will see minor midget AAA hockey eliminated in the national capital region starting with the 2015-16 hockey season. The program was put together by a subcommittee of the Ottawa District Minor Hockey Association that did extensive research into how it would be structured and how other parts of Canada structure their midget leagues for 15-, 16-, and 17-year-old players. Currently, 15-year-olds play in a minor midget league, while 16 and 17-year-olds are separated into their own midget league. The presentation the sub-committee put together indicated the minor program was struggling as some players jump into the older, junior level as 16-year-olds, while they are still midget-aged. The new league, which only affects players in the AAA skill level divisions, will blend the two age divisions together and reorganize the teams. Right now, there are five zones, each of which have one minor midget and midget team. As of next year, there will be 12 teams, each with a geographic centre. Players’ geographic centre will be measured by the home arena’s

distance from their primary residence. The changes are being made to provide a better development path for players, said Gary Hopkins, Cumberland district chairman. Instead of five minor midget and five midget teams, there will be 12 midget teams under the new structure, bringing in more players than before. The final draft structure and logistics still have some details to be worked out, Hopkins said. The blind draft will work in a way that the closest geographic team that wants a midget player, will get them. If a player from Cumberland is selected by both Cumberland and Gloucester, the player would go to Cumberland. But if the Cumberland player is selected by only Gloucester, that player would go to Gloucester. Hopkins said the new geographic boundaries and draft structure will make sure the best players in the region are the ones making the AAA teams, while recognizing players develop at different rates. “It really lets the players develop at a pace more consistent with their abilities,” Hopkins said. “Some develop earlier, some develop later.”

‘It’s scary for parents’: association president Continued from page 19

Denis Dumais, Ottawa District Minor Hockey Association president, said negativity has come from the parents of younger players who are worried that their children won’t make the cut for the new midget teams. He said there has been false information spread through clubs about the new structure. “It’s scary for parents. Parents think their 15-year-old won’t make it,” Dumais said. “If you’re a good player, would we throw you out when you’re 15? No.” He said people are resistant to change with the structure, but the association has gone through intensive meetings to make sure it can develop the best players possible. The new league will be put run as a trial for three years as. The new teams will have affiliations with Central Canada Hockey League teams at the junior level, such as the Cumberland Grads, or Carleton Place Canadians. Each of the teams will share a name with one of area’s Junior A teams.

Some details of the new league and its structure are still being finalized, and small tweaks may be made before the season starts. “We think this is a winning program,” Dumais said.

If you’re a good player, would we throw you out when you’re 15? No.

Health care the biggest shift in Ontario budget steph.willems@metroland.com

Shifting medical care from the hospital to the home emerged as a key piece of the 2015 Ontario budget, which aims to shrink the province’s hefty deficit and bring the province closer to fiscal balance. Released on April 23, the $131.9 billion budget represents a less-than in-

flationary increase over the previous year’s budget, with several sectors – especially health and education – seeing increased funding constraint. The health sector budget will rise 1.2 per cent this coming year, less than half of last year’s increase. This is all to slay a $10.9 billion deficit by 2017-18, something the provincial government has vowed to accomplish. The deficit by

the end of this fiscal year is projected to be $8.5 billion, and $4.8 billion the year after. This year, the interest payment on the province’s $298.9 billion debt will be $11.4 billion, and $1 billion higher next year. The budget arrives in the wake of announcements from major Ontario hospitals – including those in Ottawa – of nurse layoffs brought about by fro-

zen base funding for hospitals. That funding freeze continues into this fiscal year. Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi, who toured with other local Liberal MPPs on the budget circuit the following day, said the province’s health care focus is turning towards community and home care. Those sectors are seeing a five per cent funding boost, with personal sup-

port workers receiving a base wage increase. “The hospital setting is a more expensive model of care,” said Naqvi. “And people don’t want to go to hospitals if they don’t have to … (this) provides better health care at the right time and in the right place.” Funding for community and home health care will rise by $750 million over the next three years, said Naqvi. “Any money we’re saving in the health care sector is being redirected into the home care and community care sector,” he said. “We need to keep our seniors living at home.” Though it will be up to hospitals to find efficiencies within their operating budgets, much of the savings outside the health sector will come from a

“net zero” bargaining position with employees and an efficiency task force headed by Treasury Board president Deb Matthews. The budget’s mediumterm fiscal plan and outlook shows program expenses rising only $100 million in 2016 ($120.6 billion versus 2015’s $120.5 billion), before dropping to $120 billion in 2017-18. “We’re doing a lineby-line analysis of programming that takes place in Ontario,” said Naqvi. “We’re asking ‘is the investment efficient and effective, or is there a better way of providing it?’” In his own ministry – Community Safety and Correctional Services – this year will bring “a modest funding increase” and a boost in the number of correctional officers.

Recycling focus needed for proposed dump: committee Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

The city’s environment committee recommended that staff notes and several rules for Taggart Miller’s Capital Region Resource Recovery Centre in Carlsbad Springs be sent to the Ministry of the Environment – which has the final decision on the project. Councillors proposed setting limits on the geographic boundaries from which waste and materials to be recycled can originate, a rule that would bar Taggart Miller from charging less for waste than materials to be recycled, the creation of a public liaison committee and a six-truck daily cap on leachate brought to the city’s waste-

water plant, among several other restrictions. The recycling portion of the project – specifically, how much will be recycled and how much dumped in the landfill – was a major topic. The city also wants to see the allowed tonnage that goes in the landfill portion of the project directly tied the amount recycled, in order to hold Taggart Miller accountable to a higher diversion rate than originally proposed – the city’s target is 60 per cent. “From the beginning, the psychological contract with the community’s been broken and the proponent has a lot of work to do, to be honest, to rebuild that trust so the community, and me, and the city can believe when they say they’re going to recycle 60 per cent, or get close in that,”

Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais said. “That’s why I think the committee is making the recommendation to the province to mandate that, that their tonnages be linked directly to diversion.” Sue Langlois, president of the Capital Region Citizens Coalition for the Protection of the Environment, said she was disappointed. “This is being promoted as primarily a recycling facility,” Langlois said, citing a portion of the environmental assessment that only shows diversion – without organic materials or soils – at 16 per cent. “To me, that falls extremely short.” She said it’s the landfill portion of the project that residents are opposed to and don’t want to see.

There have been a variety of numbers brought up through the entire environmental assessment process that determines the total percentage of materials that will be recycled at the facility range from as low as 16 to as high as 60 per cent. The city has a goal of 60 per cent for the project, a number Michelle Taggart of Taggart Miller said the facility would strive to meet as quickly as possible. “It does depend on the markets that we get,” she said. “But we’re hoping to hit those diversion rates right at the start. All I can say is we are building all our (recycling) facilities up front.” The numbers in the reports can fluctuate, depending if organics and soils are included in the diversion target numbers, or just pure institutional, commercial and industrial (often referred to as IC&I) waste.

Mayor’s Report

How We’re Cleaning Up the Ottawa River By Jim Watson Since I was elected Mayor in 2010, my top environmental priority has been to clean up the Ottawa River. I believe this would be the perfect gift for future generations as Canada approaches its 150th birthday in 2017. Having recently announced that we have secured funding from my Federal and Provincial counterparts, to make this dream a reality, I am excited to share with you our progress so far and what’s to come. Ottawa is a city of almost 1 million people, and our roads and sewers are feeling the pressure in order to protect our communities, green spaces, and waterways, we need to upgrade sewers and pipes that in some cases are over 140 years old. In the older parts of Ottawa, storm water and household sewage mix together in the same pipe, called a combined sewer. During heavy rainfall, this older part of the system is designed to avoid flooding by sending excess water into the Ottawa River. The unfortunate result is that some untreated sewage flows directly into the River as well. Before I took office, in 2006, there were annual combined sewage overflow volumes of 1.09B litres into the Ottawa River. That’s the equivalent of 436 Olympic-sized swimming pools per year. Spills like these add to high bacteria counts in the Ottawa River, which can negatively impact the health of our river and our beaches. In the nation’s capital, we cannot accept having sewage flow into the river behind Parliament nor see frequent pipe bursts in our neighbourhoods. In 2009, we started working on a set of infrastructure projects called the Ottawa River Action Plan. The action plan is focused on protecting the quality of the Ottawa River by reducing the volume of combined sewage overflows and reducing the impact of stormwater on the Ottawa River. BRIER DODGE/METROLAND

Representatives from Taggart Miller speak at the April 21 environment committee meeting at city hall.

Not all residents opposed to dump Continued from page 24

“From day one, the proponent has done a poor job at communicating exactly what they want to do and reaching out to the community in a clear and concise way,” Blais said. While Taggart Miller representatives said the regulations shouldn’t be a problem, community members opposed to the dump were disappointed the city wasn’t harsher and didn’t recommend the ministry reject the project. But not all who spoke at the meeting were opposed, however. Several people spoke on the need for an affordable IC&I recycling site in Ottawa. York Region’s manager of waste operations, Ron Gordon, also appeared to speak about his positive experiences with the company, which has a contract with York Region. Two area residents spoke as well.

“I wrote them in January saying that I supported the proposal and I felt I was a part of a silent majority of my neighbours who were either in support of the site, or would not speak out because they felt intimated by a few,” said Edwards’ resident Douglas Innes. “I’m not a hired gun, I have no affiliations.”

From day one, the proponent has done a poor job at communicating exactly what they want to do ... CUMBERLAND COUN. STEPHEN BLAIS

Another speaker said it would be good for the neighbourhood to bring in more jobs.

Sean Carr, from the Builders Owners and Managers Association of Ottawa, said the facility is a great opportunity to provide infrastructure to recycle IC&I waste. “We would certainly welcome an initiative like this to help our members deal with waste at their buildings in a socially responsible way,” Carr said. No one is opposed to the recycling facility, said Blais. He just wants to see a true commitment to the recycling diversion rate. “Require those tonnages be a requirement,” he said, of the link to diversion and allowed landfill tons the city wants to see. “If you’re going to be honest and true, don’t allow them to do less than that.” The city feedback, as long as it’s approved by council, would be sent to the Ministry of the Environment, which has the final say on the project.

The City partnered with the federal and provincial governments to significantly enhance key parts of our wastewater infrastructure. This has included maximizing our use of the capacity available in our existing sewer system, better pipe monitoring, separating storm sewers from sanitary sewers and measures to reduce the risk of basement flooding. We also completed a lot of sewer work as a part of other road projects to ensure we did not need to tear up streets more than once. The progress to date has been remarkable. These efforts have reduced sewage overflow volumes up to 80 percent in recent years. These improvements are also helping to ensure the consistent delivery of drinking water to our homes and reduce the risk of basement flooding. With all three levels of government having committed the remaining funds to complete the most significant remaining project under the Ottawa River Action Plan, called the Combined Sewage Storage Tunnel. This project will greatly expand our ability to store combined sewer overflow that can then be treated and returned safely to the Ottawa River. When this project is complete, Ottawa’s sewage overflows will be dramatically reduced to only one or two occurrences in most years. We are moving ahead swiftly on this project, which will be undertaken in summer 2015 as part of the Confederation Line LRT project. We will ensure the downtown core is free from any disruption that would impact the 2017 celebrations, and work towards full completion of the project in 2019.

Prepare for ‘challenging season’ of construction: city Highways to improve as 417/174 split opens up Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

With winter over, Ottawa residents are bracing for the city’s only other season – construction. The theme of this year’s road work is “short term pain for long term gain” as city workers ramp up construction on the Confederation lightrail line, set to open in 2018. Crews will also be renewing 120 kilometres of city infrastructure this summer and building another 50 kilometres brand new. That includes 16 kilometres of new cycling and multiuse pathways and six kilometres of new sidewalks. As well, another 85 kilometres of roads will be repaved by the end of the 2015 construction season. Traffic planner Phil Landry said the bulk of the effects will be felt downtown, while east-west commuter traffic should flow a little better. “The 417 will be done, so that’s going to be a big relief,” Landry said, noting that some minor construction work will continue on the sidelines until the fall. “That being said, there will now be buses on it.” The highway at the 174 split has been a mess for several years as an extra lane is

added to accommodate the express OC Transpo buses that will be rerouted off the eastern Transitway beginning June 28. While the buses will have their own lanes for the most part, they’ll mix with traffic near the exits and on-ramps, which could slow things down. Still, “going east to west is going to operate a lot better than it has the past few years,” Landry said. Confederation Line construction is set to ramp up this summer, with continuing underground work on several stations as well as the closure of the Transitway between Hurdman and Blair stations to start building stations and to lay some track. Track will also be installed at the Belfast Yards sometime this year, staff said. Confederation construction will have an effect on Lyon, Nicholas and Queen streets, and the widening of Scott and Albert streets to accommodate express buses while the western Transitway is closed after 2016 will affect drivers coming into the downtown core from the west end. A ramp closure between Hwy 417 west and the 174 east for LRT construction is also expected to cause delays.

This summer’s eastern Transitway closure will cause a number of detours for transit users, but OC Transpo operations manager Pat Scrimgeour said most east-end riders will only see about a seven minute delay during their commute downtown. As for other road work, drivers should be wary of this summer’s major reconstruction projects on: Albert Street, First Avenue, Greenbank Road (widening), Innes Road between Hwy 417 and Blair, Irving Avenue, Laurentian Avenue, Queen Street, Rideau Valley South and Sussex Drive. The reconstruction of Main Street in Old Ottawa East will likely have the biggest impact on local drivers as it is rebuilt into a “complete street” between now and 2017. Residents will also face minor disruptions from $25 million in road repaving projects scheduled for this summer, including on King Edward Avenue and Scott Street downtown, Knoxdale Road, Seyton Drive and Maitland Avenue in Nepean, Richardson Side Road in Kanata, Ogilvie Road in the east end, Conroy Road in Ottawa South, Kinburn Side Road in West Carleton, Long Island Road in Manotick and Swale Road in Osgoode.

City staff said drivers should be prepared for a busy construction season, particularly downtown and in the east end as Confederation light rail work ramps up in June.

Mayor Jim Watson is optimistic his light rail dream will become a funded reality after an exciting week of public transit announcements from both the provincial and the federal governments. It began on April 16, when the Ontario government announced it would sell 60 per cent of Hydro One to put an estimated $4 billion into a “transit trust” for major projects. The following week, the province solidified its plan to pump $31.5 billion in major transit infrastructure across the province, sending nearly half of that outside of the Greater Toronto-Hamilton Area, in its budget on April 23. Ottawa’s Stage 2 project was specifically mentioned in the budget. The feds have also stepped up. On April 21, the federal government unveiled its Public Transit Fund as part of the 2015 budget – a pot of money that Watson says is welltimed to put Stage 2 shovels in the ground. That fund will start slow, with $250 million available in 2017 but working up to $1 billion a year beginning in 2019, if the budget is passed and the Conservatives hold on to power in the upcoming election. That’s good timing for Ottawa, which will open Phase 1 of the Confederation Line in 2018 and hopes to jump right into building Stage 2 by the end of that year, Watson said. “From our perspective – I can’t speak for other cities – the timing works well in

Ottawa’s favour,” he said. The benefit of the new federal fund will depend on whether it’s truly reserved for the country’s most significant transit projects as the finance minister suggested, or if it will be open to all Canadian municipalities. “If it was a fund for every municipality to apply, that $1 billion would be diluted very quickly,” Watson said, noting he’s fairly confident the fund will be reserved for the “top five or six projects” across the country. But there’s more. Earlier on April 21, the province also had Watson’s attention as a large group of Toronto-area MPPs gathered to announce Ontario would be willing to bankroll the entire $1.6 billion price tag for a light-rail project connecting Mississauga and Brampton west of Toronto, even if the feds and the municipality don’t show up with cash. Watson said he immediately called some of the Toronto-area MPPs involved. He’s looking for details on how this project came to be potentially 100 per cent funded when Ottawa has so far only been promised a third. “(I’m trying) to get clarification on what the announcement was all about and why they’re eligible for 100 per cent,” Watson said. “Obviously ... if we can get our share funded 100 per cent by the province that would be ideal.” That’s not how it’s worked so far. Watson said he always felt that, when it comes to major infrastructure projects, all three levels of government should pay their fair share – a

third each. That’s certainly been the case for the city’s $2.1-billion light rail project currently being carved out under Ottawa’s downtown as part of Phase 1 of its city-wide transit plan. In fact, the city’s paying slightly more than its share at about $900 million, with the province and the feds each picking up a $600 million tab. The provincial commitment Ontario’s Minister of Transportation Steven Del Duca confirmed in an email on April 22 that the province fully intends to support the project once the city submits a formal funding request for Stage 2. “We were first at the table for Phase 1 of the LRT with $600 million and we will be at the table for Phase 2,” Del Duca wrote. Of course, Watson also recognized the next stage of Ottawa’s light-rail project is likely three times more expensive than the 23-kilometre Hurontario-Main LRT plan, which Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie admitted in January her city couldn’t afford. And Ottawa residents have given Watson a mandate to spend money on transit – the second-term mayor campaigned on the city’s light rail plans last fall and won back his office with a 76 per cent landslide. Stage 2 is currently in the middle of three environmental assessments for western, eastern and southern extensions, which Watson said would further define the project’s cost. It’s currently estimated at just shy of $3 billion, and would add 30 kilometres of rail and 19 new stations to the network. He plans to submit a preliminary funding request this summer.

Arts council looks to build young artist committee, seeks leaders Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

Young artists gathered downtown on April 14, hoping to form a committee for young leaders in the art world. The young art leaders committee is an initiative of the AOE Arts Council, an organization based out of the Shenkman Arts Centre in Orléans. Members put out a call for young artists interested in forming a committee – or even just attending the networking mixer to find out more – and the response was overwhelming. Cassandra Olsthoorn, the AOE Arts program co-ordinator, was thrilled to see over 100 people RSVP for the first event, which was held at Club SAW at the Arts Court on Daly Avenue. “I’m so excited,” she said. “The response has been tremendous, the response has been exhilarating.” The committee is being formed to address a gap in arts programming for artists in the 19- to 30-year-old demographic. “For me, being a young arts professional, there’s not a lot of opportunity to network with peers , and we don’t have any programming designed specifically for this group of people,” Olsthoorn said. “We noticed a gap.” The committee doesn’t have a formal structure yet because the intention is for volunteers to lead, and give the group shape and direction with support from AOE Arts. The volunteers who will actually work on projects will be the ones to dictate exactly how often they meet, and what projects to tackle.

New Kanata North Elementary School Attendance Boundary Study Notice of Public Consultation Meeting BRIER DODGE/METROLAND

Shelby Smith, a University of Ottawa bachelor of fine arts student, writes a suggestion on a brainstorming board at Club SAW on April 14. A networking mixer was expected to generate interest in the AOE Art Council’s young art leaders committee. “We’re trying to keep the door open so that we can start to build programming that will best suit the needs,” said Olsthoorn. It will be aimed at artists who are looking to launch their arts careers, a demographic the networking mixer on April 14 targeted. “Getting a job in the arts is who you know, so events with networking for people like us would be wonderful,” said Maxime Compean, 26, who attended the mixer with two friends from university, where she is a candidate for a master’s degree in art history. She was interested in speaking with some of the established artists at the mixer to see what they do, and how they got to where they are in their careers.

Other mixer attendees echoed her thoughts, and said to land that first job – or find a way to make a full-time income – in the arts can be hard. Shelby Smith, a bachelor of fine arts student at the University of Ottawa, said the arts community in Ottawa is close knit, so the chance to meet people in various circles is useful, especially for job seekers. She’d like to see a central board where job and internship postings are all combined, and more gallery space or show spots for emerging artists. While the AOE Arts group’s office is in Orléans, the group will have a regional focus and is open to anyone in the area who wants to be a part of it. For more information, contact Olsthoorn at cassandra@artsoe.ca.

The public is invited to attend a consultation meeting for the New Kanata North Elementary School Attendance Boundary Study on Thursday, May 7, 2015, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. in the auditorium/cafeteria of Earl of March Secondary School, No. 4 The Parkway. Existing elementary schools involved in the study: Jack Donohue Public School Roland Michener Public School South March Public School Stephen Leacock Public School W. Erskine Johnston Public School A Working Group comprised of parent council and community association representatives has been meeting over the past few months in an effort to develop sustainable attendance boundaries for all schools involved in the study. The solution will result in changes at a number of area schools. Staff will present proposals at the meeting for consideration. There will be a brief presentation at the beginning of the meeting followed by an opportunity for the public to ask questions. Feedback is requested to assist staff developing their final recommendations to the Board of Trustees. An information package providing details of the proposals will be available at the meeting.

Survey shows ‘tragedy’ of capital’s homeless situation Ottawa alliance joins national 20,000 Homes campaign Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

More than a quarter of Ottawa’s chronically homeless population are young people – just one of several jarring results from a survey conducted by the Alliance to End Homelessness over the course of four days in April. The local advocacy group teamed up with the Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness to survey 461 people facing homelessness in the

city between April 18 and April 21. The survey offers a snapshot of homelessness in the city that goes beyond the shelter system. Volunteers reached out to people using drop-in centres and other facilities, and about a third reported they sleep somewhere other than a shelter – be that the street or a friend’s couch. “Until now we’ve had really good shelter data,” said executive director Mike Bulthuis. “This is looking at homelessness in different kinds of spaces.” Bulthuis said the youth results were particularly shocking: of the 128 young

“We look at Ottawa as the capital of our country, as a symbol of Canada, and to me it is striking and a little bit terrifying and aggravating that there is homelessness of this depth, this many people, this ill, in the shadow of Parliament Hill,” Richter said.

“We don’t want our young people to become chronically homeless adults.” MIKE BULTHUIS, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, ALLIANCE TO END HOMELESSNESS

But it’s not all bad news. The city has been vocal about its 10-year commitment to end chronic homelessness by 2024. To that end, council has committed $14 million a year to help build affordable housing. That includes permanently housing the city’s 250 most vulnerable shelter users in the next 12 to 18 months. But there’s controversy about how that goal is being reached. This year, $4 million previously earmarked for capital projects as part of the city’s housing and homelessness investment plan has been

moved to the operations ledger to help plug a $9.3-million inflation and operations hole, according to city staff. That will be mitigated somewhat with another $2 million promised to come from a $37.4 million bucket of money set aside for “term of council priorities,” which council will carve up this summer. “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. Bulthuis said that’s fine – he’d expect nothing less after 18 councillors campaigned on the promise – but more is needed. “The 10-year plan is good, but at the rate we’re investing right now it doesn’t look like we’re going to make it. We need to step up a bit more,” he said. “I think it’s hard to believe that we have this under control. I don’t think we do.” That’s partly why the Ottawa alliance, which represents 45 local agencies, was so eager to join its national counterpart in the 20,000 Homes campaign inspired by a successful 100,000 Homes push in the United States. Advocates hope to house 20,000 Canadians by July 1,

2018 – an ambitious goal, but one worth pursuing, Richter said. The idea is that housing vulnerable residents – and keeping them permanently housed with appropriate supports – is healthier, safer and more sustainable than depending on emergency shelters. It’s also more affordable, because it can reduce and prevent health and social problems – saving the public system money. In Ottawa’s survey alone, participants reported 828 trips to the emergency room in the past six months – approximately two times per person – and 498 ambulance rides. The 20,000 Homes campaign, which is set to formally launch in June, will put pressure on all levels of government to address the national situation with funding for affordable and supportive housing. The U.S. campaign hit its goal last year, and Richter said he’s confident Canada can meet its goal as well. “Canada Day 2018 is going to be more than a birthday party,” he said. “It’s going to be a homecoming for 20,000 of Canada’s most vulnerable people.”

people they interviewed, nearly half had been homeless for a year or more – a long time for people so young. “I don’t think of kids living on the streets for more than a year,” Bulthuis said. As a group, those between 16 and 25 self-reported a high prevalence of mental health conditions – 91 per cent – and 78 per cent said they suffered from some sort of substance abuse. That’s an issue if we want to make sure young people are getting the help they need as fast as they need it, Bulthuis said. “We don’t want our young people to become chronically homeless adults,” he said. But the results for adults were also troubling: 311 people surveyed said they suffer from a “serious health condition” (ranging from asthma to HIV/AIDS) and 54 per cent faced a trifecta of mental, physical and substance abuse issues. In 2014, more than 6,500 people used one of Ottawa’s emergency shelters at some point. Canadian alliance president Tim Richter called it a tragedy that the nation’s capital continues to struggle with this issue.

Hockey for heart Recreational and professional hockey teams hit the ice at the Bell Sensplex on April 24 and 25, competing for a good cause in the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s Hockey for Heart fundraiser. Organized in memory of late Ottawa 67’s and Ottawa Senators alumni Bill Kitchen, who died in 2012 at the age of 51, the two day event saw the Senplex’s four ice pads taken over by players from across the region. Money raised went to support the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

From Burritts Rapids to Parliament Hill, Jane’s Walk hopes to push Ottawa residents to explore parts of the city they have never stepped foot in and to teach them new things about areas they know. Drawing inspiration from urban activist Jane Jacobs, the group holds a series of free walking tours every year that explore the city, seeking to push people to discover the city around them. “Jane’s Walk for us is a way to try to get people more aware of what’s around them in Ottawa,” said Leigh Thorpe, of Jane’s Walk. “We see it as a spur to community engagement. You can’t protect what you have until you know what it is.” This year’s event, which will run May 2 and 3, offers many of the same walks of years past, but also some new tours. Burritts Rapids residents are inviting people from other parts of Ottawa to come learn

Jane’s Walk is set to return to Ottawa on May 2 and 3. The group expects to lead hundreds of residents on dozens of walking tours throughout the city. about their small village near the Rideau River. There will be a number of different free tours and activities over both days, including a “run with the locals,” an architectural walk and a tour of a garden centre called the Rideau Woodland Ramble. Long-time Manotick resident Larry Ellis is set to lead

a new tour of the Manotick’s streetscape, which will explore Watson’s Mill and Dickson Square. Jonathan McLeod, of the Ottawa Citizen, will be guiding a walk through Lansdowne Park, looking at the old and new while discussing the politics surrounding the controversial development along the way.

Sylvia Sumner,

Jane’s Walk returns to explore the city Out in Kanata, librarians will guide a tour of the newly renovated Beaverbrook Branch of the Ottawa Public Library. Jacobs is well known for her opposition to car-centred development, such as a plan to build a highway through Greenwhich Village, where she lived until she later moved to Canada. Jacobs encouraged people to get out into their neighbourhoods to learn about the places they lived in. “No one can find out what will work for our cities by looking at garden suburbs, manipulating scale models, or inventing dream cities. You’ve got to get out and walk,” Jacobs said in 1957. Jane’s Walk first started in Toronto in 2007 and the Ottawa chapter held its first walks the following year. Tours are also available in French and there will be a number of walks in Gatineau. A list of this year’s walks along with their starting times can be found at janeswalk.herokuapp.com/sessions/7.

Citizen of the Year recipient Kelly Ross, centre, with Virginia Boro, left, and Jill Martin. Kelly was a co-recipient with her late husband, Ken Ross. “They are so special that it became clear to the selection committee that what is intended to be an individual award would need some modification this year. In the words of one of many who submitted a nomination, ‘These two were always a team and should both be included,’” Boro said. “Although, sadly, only one of them could be with us this evening, our West Ottawa Board of Trade is proud to recognize them both for their contribution.” There were more than a few pairs of damp eyes in the room Kelly Ross rose to the podium to receive the award, taking a long pause to her check her emo-

He was an active member of the Nepean community. “It is obvious that the strength in this room speaks volumes about the community that we are so blessed to live in. Some of us may start with a torch, but it is up to everyone to carry it through. Very rarely can one man alone accomplish something without the help of others,” Ross said. See METROLAND, page 37

The West Ottawa Board of trade and members of the Nepean business community gathered at the Centurion Business Centre on April 23 to recognize business excellence in Nepean over the last year. The 2015 Nepean Business Achievement Awards, the first since the Nepean Chamber of Commerce merged with the West Ottawa Board of Trade, included 10 categories which recognized social responsibility, ingenuity, customer service and overall excellence. Brandon Durant, 26, received the Young Entrepreneur award for his work as a certified financial planner working as an independent broker with Desjardins Financial Security. “At 26, Brandon sets a great example with his dedication to professional development and commitment to giving back to his community,” said speaker Kurt Stoodley. The Green Award went to Design HVAC Experts Inc., whose senior designer Matthew Pedersen accepted it, praising the West Ottawa Board of Trade for recognizing green business. “It makes me feel very special to be associated with such a wonderful initiative.” The evening took a solemn turn when Jill Martin, co-chairwoman of the awards planning committee and Virginia Boro, past chairwoman of the former Nepean Chamber of Commerce, presented the Citizen of the Year award to Kelly and Ken Ross.

But Friends of the Jock River fell on hard times in 2011 when its executive was reduced to charter members Brian Finch and Neil Barrington. Many of the group’s past board members had served for years, reached advanced ages and retired. Finch and Barrington, themselves ready to retire, were not able to find new members to fill the eight positions on the board, including president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer. See RIVERKEEPERS, page 35

Riverkeepers’ replacements difficult to find terest at the Annual General Meeting.” Between 2012 and 2013 the board gained three new members including two presidents, but saw them all resign due to personal and health-related reasons. In July 2013, Friends of the Jock River lost its charitable status due to unavoidable inactivity. Now the organization has all but entirely dissolved. Transferring its funds to its organization of choice, the Rideau Valley Conservation Foundation, and closing its bank accounts will be the final nail in the coffin. “These people have done their due diligence in service,” said long-time member and past director Tom Wright about Finch

Continued from page 34

In 2012, Finch and Barrington chose to place the organization into dormancy for one more year and continue their attempts to recruit a new board, rather than dissolving Friends of the Jock River outright. “We published the results of this decision and there were quite a few organizations and individuals that expressed concern over our possible demise, but there have been few individuals step forward over the past year indicating an interest in running for a position on the board,” Brian Finch wrote in the group’s 2012 annual report. “I am hopeful that there will be more in-

and Barrington. “It would be a shame to have four people or five new people not step up, because it takes time to get charitable status.” But Wright, 76, is hopeful Friends of the Jock River might one day be resurrected by entirely new members, which is why he deposited the group’s archives with the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority. “If you look at the building in Richmond, Kanata, Manotick and Barrhaven, the number of people that have moved in along the river is phenomenal,” Wright said. “If someone could step up now, even start a small project or just maintain the status quo until the membership is filled on the board, that would be a great asset.”

Each week, a lawyer from the Kanata based Allan Snelling law firm will answer a reader’s question. A weekly guide in legal matters

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

My mortgage is up for renewal this summer. I will more than likely switch to a different lender. Would I need to use a lawyer to finalize my new mortgage? While some banks and mortgage companies require that their clients retain a lawyer to finalize their mortgage refinancing transaction, it is now very common that some lending institutions would rather finalize it themselves or use a mortgage processing company. Nevertheless, most lenders will still give you an option of retaining your own lawyer to finalize the transaction. Benefits of using a lawyer: Your lawyer will help you to review and understand complex mortgage documents, such as the mortgage disclosure statement and standard mortgage terms, and will also explain to you your rights and obligations under the mortgage.

OTHER AWARD WINNERS INCLUDED:

Nepean, Rideau and Osgoode Community Resource Centre, Community Support/Non-Profit Organization of the Year Flashpoint Photobooth, Home Based Business of the Year LiquidGym Therapy and Training Centre, Innovation Award The Parlour Pizza Kitchen and Bar, New Business of the Year DS Plumbing, Customer Service Award

They will make sure that your old mortgage is discharged from the title to your property. As a lawyer, I regularly see mortgages registered on title that were paid off many years ago, but have never been discharged by the bank. Your lawyer will also go through the mortgage discharge

statement with you to ensure that the payout amount to discharge your old mortgage is correct. Finally, your lawyer will make sure that the terms for the mortgage being registered on title are the same terms you have negotiated with your lender. It is not uncommon for some people to later discover that the amount of the mortgage registered on title is a lot higher than the actual amount of the mortgage they received from the lender. This can negatively affect their chance of getting a second mortgage or adding a secured line of credit from a different lender. Are you planning on buying or selling your home this spring or summer?

Auschwitz survivor’s story inspires lost daughter, author Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Beaverbrook author Kathy Clark launched her latest book, the second inspired by her parents’ experiences during the Holocaust, on April 18 at the Beaverbrook branch of the public library. This new book, The Choice, is inspired by her biological father’s experiences in Auschwitz, the notorious concentration camp where hundreds of thousands of Jews were killed by the Nazis. Sharing those experiences formed part of Clark’s reunion with her biological father, whom she hadn’t seen since she was about four months old. A Jewish family living in communist Hungary, Clark’s mom divorced her biological father, and later escaped from Hungary during the 1956 revolution with Clark’s

adoptive father several years later. It would be seven years before Clark cold join her parents in Canada. But, when she arrived in Toronto, she was told the man she had thought was her father would have to adopt her.

He felt like he was a man already ... he felt he was srong enough to go help his family. Kathy Clark, author

“That’s when I found out that I had another father – my biological father,” said Clark. “I was only 10 at the time.” Not knowing how to navigate Hungarian bureau-

cracy to re-connect with her biological father and busy growing up, getting married and having a family, Clark did not take up the search for him until 2000. But, eventually, she did find him, and the two were able to meet. At the time, Clark was working on her second book and first about the Holocaust, Guardian Angel House, based on her mother and aunt’s experiences hiding in a convent in Budapest where nuns sheltered them alongside 120 other Jewish children during the Second World War. “Therefore (I) was interested in his story as well, to see what had happened to him during the Holocaust, and he told me,” said Clark. What came out of that talk, along with research and interviews with other Auschwitz survivors, was The Choice, a story about a 13-year-old Jewish boy whose family is pretending to be Catholic to escape persecution. But, unwilling to hide his identity anymore, the boy reveals that he is a Jew, and he and his family are sent to Auschwitz. Clark’s father was reluctant to speak about his experiences in too much detail, and so the book is a representation of what a young boy would have experienced at Auschwitz, but inspired by particular events in Clark’s father’s life. See BOOKS, page 41

That’s what they remember” said Clark. “I think that’s what’s important about situations like this.” The books also serve to bring out comparisons between Judaism and Catholi-

cism, she said. Clark converted to Catholicism at the age of 24. With affection for both religions, she said her books look to “help each side understand the other a bit more, and focus on what’s common rather than what’s different.” For more information on Clark and her books, go to kathyclark.ca.

For instance, the boy in the book shared the same guilt at having to hide his religion as Clark’s father. “He did go to a Catholic boys school, and (his family) had Catholic papers, saying they were Catholic, but part of his family, his extended family, was taken to the ghetto,” said Clark. “When he was telling me, he kept emphasizing how he felt so guilty,” she said. “He felt like he was a man already … he felt he was strong enough to go help his family.” So he snuck into the ghetto to see them, and, along with his family, got caught and sent to Auschwitz. With the two books out, both aimed at a young youth audience, Clark said she hopes to connect with readers far beyond what history textbooks can. “By telling personal stories of people and what they experience, the struggles that

Plan a gift that will warm mom’s heart Lifestyle - According to recent studies, Mother’s Day is now one of the top three commercial holidays in Canada. When it comes to shopping, many

mothers desire a gift that shows how much you care about her. The thought put into the gift is more important than the amount of money spent. Try

replacing traditional gifts with something more unique and thoughtful. Instead of creams and bath scents, consider writing your mom a poem. You might think you are not the writing type, but even if your poem is not as polished as those found on greeting cards, the thought and effort of writing your own message will mean more to your mother. Search online for examples or patterns you can follow. Instead of flowers, consider a photo album containing memo-

rable photos of family events over the years. Online photo shops have made it easy to create scrapbooks and coffee table books for mom. From the comfort of your home computer you can upload, crop, and move photos to create a gift that will have her talking for years. Consider giving a donation in your mother’s name. Charities like Christian Children’s Fund of Canada (www.ccfcanada.ca) offer an easy to use online gift catalogue that allows

you to choose a donation that would matter to your mom. Is she a teacher? What about providing school supplies to children in Africa. A gardener? What about seeds and garden tools to a farmer in Latin America. A stay at home mom? What about a loan to a mom in India to help her start her own small business? The gift you choose can be as unique as your mom is. News Canada

Costumers to unveil more of Star Wars universe at Comiccon erin.mccracken@metroland.com

In a galaxy not so far, far away – Kanata to be exact – Geoff Buck guides wood trim through an electric saw. His wife, Kim Buck, and Kanata resident Elijah Phillips stack towering dark grey wooden frames, while Mark Templeton of Richmond pushes a large broom along the sawdust-covered floor. Wellington West resident Rob Murphy has just left on a supply run to a hardware store. What they and a legion of other members with the Capital City Garrison Star Wars costuming group are constructing is big when it comes to the Star Wars universe. Not quite Death Star big, but the members are expecting it to draw crowds and generate buzz during Ottawa Comiccon, May 8 to 10 – the biggest event of the year for the club, which took part in 68 events last year. They plan to bring back their detention centre to the convention, where fans can be imprisoned by and with Star Wars characters – think Darth Vader and Stormtroopers – and released for a charitable

donation. “For me, I’d – no, I wouldn’t want to be arrested – but it’s fun going out and arresting people,” said Buck, a North Gower resident who usually dresses as a red Imperial Guard, but is planning to reveal his new Shadow Trooper costume at Comiccon if he can finish building it in time. “How often do you get to be arrested by Stormtroopers and kept in jail with Vader?” “Some people weren’t too sure when we had the Death Trooper in there,” said Derek McDonald, a Sandy Hill resident who dresses as Vader and is the garrison’s commanding officer. “They stayed away from him,” said Buck, one of 51 active members in the garrison. “It’s hilarious.” The holding cell, which they first unveiled at last year’s Comiccon, is currently being modified; sliding doors that open from what will be a booking area have already been added. A few steps away inside the massive warehouse behind Kobold’s Corners tabletop gaming and comic book store in Kanata, is an Endor bunker. See NEW, page 47

New Star Wars movie stirring creativity among fans Continued from page 45

The Star Wars fans and builders hope it will look like it came straight out of the Return of the Jedi movie scene in which Han Solo and Princess Leia tried to override the bunker controls to destroy a shield generator, allowing Rebel pilots up in space to blow up the Death Star. “As a fan you will recognize it from orbit,” said Mark Templeton, who dresses as a Stormtrooper. “‘Oh my God, it’s Endor,’ and you will beeline towards it and the next thing you know you’ll be in front of it taking selfies, putting money in our donation box, going ‘I just helped make a wish,’” he said, referring to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the garrison’s charity during Comiccon. The volunteers have been working late most week nights. Weekends are also often a juggling act, with members working in the warehouse as well as wearing their costumes at charity events across Ottawa and as

Day, as well as marking May 4, a day when Star Wars fandom is celebrated around the world. This will also be their last weekend to put the finishing touches on their Comiccon exhibit. They have other props to go with the bunker and detention centre, including life-size Stormtrooper cutouts in which people can poke their faces through and have their photos taken. They’re also bringing back their popular blast-a-trooper in which kids and adults can shoot suction-cup darts at the costumed characters for a donation. “What we’re trying to do this year is make a bigger Star Wars experience,” Buck said, adding they are also planning to stage skits. The highly anticipated release of Star Wars: Episode VII – the Force Awakens in December has a lot to do with their excitement, plus they can’t help but want to push the creative envelope for Comiccon, which is expected to draw more than 42,000

far away as Petawawa, Kingston and Cornwall. The large wooden Endor bunker looks plain now, but in a week it will be transformed with a lot of time and hard work. “It’s for the love of Star Wars,” said McDonald. “And for Make-A-Wish,” added Buck. During last year’s Comiccon, they generated more than $16,000 in donations for the foundation. “It’s a hobby and a passion,” said Buck. “It’s one of the hobbies that you can actually go out and make a difference in the sense that you’re actually putting smiles on people’s faces, and also raising money for charities.” Last year, the group directly and indirectly helped raise about $218,000 for charitable causes. This weekend alone, members will be busy at various locations from Nepean and Barrhaven to South Keys and Orléans for Free Comic Book

“That was way to easy!”

people over three days next week. As if their schedules weren’t busy enough, several members are also in the midst of constructing new costumes. “I’ve got one right now. I’ve got two kind of on the go,” said Buck. “We’ve got a box with pieces of stuff,” said his wife Kim, who costumes as a Stormtrooper, video game character Darth Nihilus and is in the process of building a Sabine Wren costume from the Star Wars Rebels TV series. “I’ve got a floor covered in (a costume) right now,” added Templeton, who is currently assembling a Stormtrooper costume featured in the new Force Awakens film. But it won’t be ready in time for Ottawa Comiccon. He won the option to buy the costume, one of a select number available from a company that produces official Star Wars costumes. “I get my Episode VII rifle in July,” said Templeton.

These aren’t your run-of-the-mill costumes. Members of the eastern Ontario garrison – part of the international 501st Legion which has more than 6,000 members in more than 47 countries, must create movie-accurate costumes before they can be worn during public garrison events. The costumes are expensive and time-consuming to make, but the camaraderie among members and their passion for helping people in need is what makes them such a tight-knit group of Star Wars fans. “If you have a hard day at work and then you troop that weekend, you get out there and troop with your friends and have a good time, making kids happy,” said Phillips, who also dresses as Vader. “Troop therapy, absolutely.” For more on Ottawa Comiccon, visit ottawacomiccon.com, and for details about the Capital City Garrison, go to capitalcity501st.ca or facebook.com/CCG501st.

If volunteers are the lifeblood of non-profit agencies, then the Glebe Centre retirement home is hemorrhaging dangerously. The long-term care facility just across from Lansdowne Park has lost more than 100 volunteers since construction began on the redeveloped stadium and commercial centre several years ago. That’s a third of the unpaid army that does everything from running programs to delivering meals, according to executive director Lawrence Grant. “They’re very, very essential to providing quality care,” he said. The centre only has 50 parking spots available for staff, and another 11 for day clients. The facility’s 350 employees used to have access to free parking at Lansdowne Park until about a year and a half ago, when the space was repurposed into swanky retail and condo space that’s at the tail end of construction now. That pushed them onto nearby side streets, where they’ve been competing with visitors, local residents, volunteers and construction workers. Brian Mitchell, chairman of the Glebe Community Association’s traffic committee, said four out of 10 spots on streets like Wilton Lane, Melgund Avenue, Oakland Avenue and Woodlawn Avenue were occupied at any given time in 2009. “Today its 90 per cent utilization, which more or less means you can’t find a parking spot,” Mitchell said. As it’s become more of a hassle to find parking, Grant said 70 of the 100 volunteers resigned outright; another 30 refused a new assignment.

They all cited parking concerns as their reason to go, Grant said, noting many of the 200 volunteers he has left are now taking transit to the centre. LANSDOWNE DEAL

The Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group has been working with the Glebe Centre to cut a deal to offer between 30 and 40 preferred parking passes for staff to park in its garage. Regular parking fees are $1.50 per half hour with a daily maximum of $20 – fine for visitors popping by for an hour, but steep for unpaid volunteers or full time staff. Grant said OSEG management is finalizing a deal that would offer a block of passes at “a very competitive rate” for Glebe Centre staff, which would get more cars off the road so volunteers can find a spot. “They’ve been very cooperative with us and working out deals,” Grant said. He hopes to see that arrangement start in May. Other solutions on the table to solve the general parking shortage include cutting parking limits to one hour west of Bank, as they have already been on the east side along Holmwood Avenue, Adelaide Street and O’Connor Street. But traffic services manager Phil Landry said it will be at least a year before any changes come in. Staff surveyed the area this month and will return again in June and September. Landry said he’ll meet with the community association and the Glebe Centre in the fall to discuss any changes from there. If staff were to implement one-hour parking around the centre, Grant said the city must also make three-hour

guest passes available for his volunteers, who often do three-hour shifts. “If we could get guest permits we would certainly support one hour parking as well,” Grant said. Another suggestion to add 15 angled parking spots on Monk Street does not have city support because it would remove the northbound bike lane. GETTING TO LANSDOWNE

Apart from the daily parking squeeze, Glebe residents have been pleasantly surprised to see more fans taking transit to major events than expected. More than 60 per cent of Ottawa RedBlacks ticket holders used an alternative form of transportation to get to games last year, via public transit, cycling, walking or free shuttles provided by the stadium. That’s a far cry from what many Glebe residents predicted would happen when the park redevelopment was proposed seven years ago. Residents were convinced the area would be overrun by drivers trying to get to games, but at the transportation meeting Capital Coun. David Chernushenko said he’s happy to report no one can say, “I told you so.” Surveys from four different RedBlacks games found 50 per cent of ticket holders took transit or shuttles, while 14 per cent walked and four per cent rode their bikes. City staff had predicted that about 20 per cent of attendees would take transit, while 36 per cent would use the park and rides set up at Carleton University, the RA Centre, Canada Post headquarters and Vincent Massey Park. But in fact an average of 37 per cent of ticket holders took public transit – as many as 41 per cent, in the case of the final game on Oct. 31 – while only 18 per cent used the shuttles.

Ottawa Police Chorus seeks to boost ranks Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Jean Roger ticks off the names of his best friends and chorus mates – there’s Wayne, also a tenor, and Dieter and Bruce, both in the bass section. Roger joined the Ottawa Police Chorus in 1972, its inaugural year. Forty-three years later, he still looks forward to driving in from Casselman to rehearse every week, as well as perform in 20 to 30 events each year. Singing is just part of what has kept him coming back, even after he retired from the force in 1997 after 30 years in policing. “It’s my passion,” the 73year-old said. “I love singing.” A strong bond has formed among the 43 members of the chorus, who range in age from their 30s to 80s, and the friendly atmosphere during rehearsals quickly envelopes new recruits. Nine men and women were treated to songs performed during an open rehearsal at the chorus’ home base at the Salvation Army Citadel at 1350 Walkley Rd. on April 23. The group is in recruitment mode in an effort to boost its ranks to 50. Though Panayiota Karaiskos is one of the choir’s newest members, the alto singer already considers herself “a lifer.” “The people there are so friendly and there’s this warmth,” said the Nepean resident, who joined last September. “It’s like a big family,” said Roger, a high tenor.

Once a month, they have a casual luncheon at the citadel, where they practice every Thursday. “We have an annual Christmas party and we have a picnic at somebody’s place when we break off (for the summer),” said Roger. “Sometimes we go grab pizza after practice.” Rehearsals are relaxed and uniforms aren’t worn, though they give the songs their all under the direction of Geoff Linklater. Barbara Duggan manages the group, and they are accompanied by pianist Carol Gurofsky. Quips abound and laughter fills the church between numbers. But when the volunteers don their smart navy blue police chorus uniforms for performances, their posture is impeccable. Their songs are memorized and they sing by heart. Rochon said he’s learned hundreds of songs over the years. “It’s a sense of pride that you belong to something special and you want to honour the uniform in how you present yourself,” said Karaiskos, who works at the Canada Border Services Agency. After the chorus first started under the watch of former police chief Leo Seguin, it grew to about 40 members – all of them male officers, ranging from constables to inspectors. “It was started in 1972 to enhance the image of the police service by contributing musically to the community and police functions,” said Roger. It presents a different side of the police department to

the public. “When I grew up, if you saw a policeman, it was like, ‘Ooh,’” he said. “You’re scared of police officers. So it was to enhance the image of the police within schools, within the community.” There are no police officers on the chorus at the moment, in large part because officers today work 12-hour shifts – at one time they worked eight – making it difficult for them to make the commitment. Like Roger, long-time chorus members Paul Rochon and Wayne Barry are retired police officers. The chorus has undergone significant change over the years. In 1991, female officers were allowed to join, and membership was also opened to retired police and civilian personnel, as well as people in the community. “The chorus broke a bit because there was a lot of people who wanted it just to remain a male chorus,” Roger said. “The change brought (about) a four-part chorus ... and it sounds a lot better, too.” Over the years, the chorus has performed abroad in Bermuda, Bahamas, Barbados and Germany. Closer to home, they’ve sung at Toronto’s Roy Thomson Hall and the National Arts Centre with other choirs, and in schools, churches, retirement residences. They’ll soon perform in the Senate in June and every September they sing on Parliament Hill during the Canadian Police and Peace Officers’ Memorial Service in honour of officers who have died in the line of duty “You get police choirs coming in from all over Canada,”

ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND

Ottawa Police Chorus director Geoff Linklater leads choir members through a song during a rehearsal at the Salvation Army Citadel on Walkley Road on April 23. The choir is looking to bolster its ranks with nine singers, bringing the total from 43 to 50. said Roger. “It’s quite emotional.” Like Roger, Karaiskos said the smaller audiences mean just as much. “Some of my favourite ones are when we go to seniors residences and you just see the difference you’re making, the joy you’re bringing to other

people,” Karaiskos said. “You see the glint in their eye and they’re clapping their hands. “It’s really hard not to be moved,” she said. “In a very beautiful way it’s connecting people through music that way.” The Ottawa Police Chorus

is currently recruiting experienced choral singers of all voices – soprano, alto, tenor and bass. The ability to read music is an asset. For more information, call 613-236-1222, ext.6187, or email chorus@ottawapolice.ca.

The Irish Hills Golf and Country Club keeps it fresh after more than 25 years in the business. The lush links of the Irish Hills Golf and Country Club have been in your backyard for over 25 years. The family-run business has opened its doors for the 2015 season and is looking forward to welcoming returning members as well as new faces, to the club. At Irish Hills, people matter. The friendly “Thank you for shopping and knowledgeable and playing lcoal! staff takes the time to forge genuine We have appreciated your business relationships with members. “A club over the last 25 eyars.” member walks into the clubhouse and everybody here tries to get to know their name.” says General Manager, Tricia McBride. Irish Hills was originally conceived by McBride’s father, Ken in 1989. The 27-hole course was carefully designed to allow maximum space so golfers can play at their own pace. The peaceful course lets members slow down, enjoy the fresh country air, and maybe even spot a heron roaming near one of the ponds.

The newly appointed Director of Golf, Ryan Hale, is enthusiastic about this year’s season. An avid golfer since the age of eight, Hale is eager to encourage the next generation of golfers. “We have some kids starting at the age of four or five,” says Hale. “We teach them the rules and etiquette of the game and then let them try it out.” Hale encourages members to teach kids their techniques and tricks, and the Men’s and Ladies Leagues often offers to invite kids to play nine holes. This year, Irish Hills is offering their first ever summer golf camp for children. For ages six to 12, the camp will be held from July 20 – 24, 2015; the camp will be offered to kids aged 12 – 16 from July 27 – 31, 2015.

Police make arrest in city’s second homicide of 2015 Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

Police have arrested a 19year-old man in connection with the murder of Connor Stevenson. The 18-year-old was found stabbed to death in a stairwell of his apartment building, at 2020 Jasmine Cres., on April 14, shortly after 5 p.m. Police identified the man in custody as David Dubois. He has been charged with second degree murder and was set to appear in court on April 24. Earlier in the week, police released photos of two individuals they thought might have information about Stevenson’s murder. Police refused to say whether Dubois was in the photos, which show a man and woman entering elevators in the lobby in the late afternoon. “The man and woman

shown in these images were at the building at the time of the incident and investigators believe they have important information to contribute to the investigation,” said Sgt. Robert Drummond of the Ottawa police’s major crimes unit. “When viewing these images, the public should think back to last Tuesday and see if they remember anyone fitting the description of the person in these images.” Drummond refused to say at what floor the individuals got off the elevators. Stevenson’s funeral was held on April 23 at Rothwell United Church on Sumac Street. The slain teen’s family raised more than $8,500 for the service through an online fundraising campaign. John David Lavoie, Stevenson’s step-father, launched a GoFundMe campaign with the

hope of amassing $5,000 to lay the 18-year-old to rest. “I have never asked for help before, but I can hope to God someone helps us,” Lavoie said on the family’s GoFundMe page. The page reached its goal within a few days. In less than a week, friends and strangers had donated more than $8,500. Stevenson was a former Gloucester High School student, who played rugby and football. Friends remembered him as a fierce and competitive athlete, but a warm and mild-mannered young man. He hoped to one day be an electrician, Lavoie said. “This couldn’t have happened to a better person,” he said. “He didn’t deserve to die.” For more information on the GoFundMe campaign, visit www.gofundme.com/ Connor-Stevenson.

Big cotton sale an accident Continued from page 56

Without even asking a “byyour-leave,” Mother pulled into a small lane between two stores, grabbed her purse, told me to hurry, and we joined the lineup of women at the door of Walker’s Store. A man, who turned out to be the manager, was beet red, and he had one of those things to magnify his voice by shouting into it, asked for everyone’s attention. Standing beside him was another man, whose red face matched the manager’s. “There has been a terrible mistake. This is the person who put the ad together for the Mercury, and instead of printing 27 cents a yard for the Dan River cotton, it came out as seven cents. The number 2 was mistakenly left off, and really, the price is 27 cents, not seven.” Well, I thought there was going to be a riot. Those women from Renfrew and the miles beyond were having none of that nonsense. A woman shook her umbrella in the manager’s face, and with the sun shin-

ing and the heat of the day just beginning, I guessed she brought her umbrella expecting a riot. “Now you know the law as well as I do, Mr. O’Kane, and you have to sell that Dan River cotton for what it was advertised.” And with that, and using her umbrella as a prodding iron, pushed back the two men, and plowed through the door, with all of us following her inside the store. Mr. O’Kane vanished through a little door at the back of the store, slamming it shut, and the bedlam was left to the sole clerk who started removing the dozens of neatly folded bolts of Dan River off the shelves and pounding them down on the long counter. I was sure we would never get out of the store alive. Two women were both pulling at the same bolt, and I was sure it would just be a matter of time before the one Renfrew policeman was called to keep order. It wasn’t long before only one or two bolts of material were all that was left on the

counter. No one was getting cuttings, everyone taking the whole bolt, which thankfully didn’t have to be measured because the original yardage tags were still attached. We headed for the car, each of us carrying one of the bolts, and I stayed in the front seat while Mother peddled her butter, eggs, sticky buns and trussed up chickens all along the back streets of the town of Renfrew. Before the next week was over, new mauve Dan River cotton curtains hung on the kitchen window, a yellow table cloth covered the red oilcloth, and I had two blouses to wear to the Northcote School. And there was lots of material left for which Mother was sure to find a use. It was my brother Emerson who tried to take the shine off everything when one morning, wearing my new mauve blouse and sitting on the bench under the kitchen window at the table, he said I matched the curtains. “All you need is a curtain rod through your hair.”

Keep allergies away with

Oranges

With spring flowers and blooming trees comes seasonal allergies - itchy eyes, fatigue, runny nose and even asthma. Here are some tips to help reduce allergies or just support your immunity: 1. Oranges Vitamin C rich oranges help to support optimal immunity.

2. Omega 3 Eat more omega-3 fatty acid rich foods. A study published in the Journal of Allergy found people who have diets rich in omega-3 suffer from fewer allergy symptoms. Great sources are salmon, flax seeds and chia seeds. 3. Hot for Health Hot chili peppers, horseradish and hot mustards work as natural decongestants. 4. Honey Locally produced honey contains pollen spores picked up by the bees from your local plants, which can act as a natural “allergy type vaccine.” By introducing a small amount of the allergen, found in the honey, your immune system can build up natural immunity against it.

2 ½ cups carrots, shredded 1 cup walnuts, raw (pre-soaked

in water 30 min+, drained, optional) 1 cup dates, pitted 1 orange, peeled Raw Carrot Cake Bites The secret ingredient in these mini bites is orange! Oranges are the sunshine fruit in more ways than one, they are rich in Vitamin C and the white rind is full of bioflavonoids. Make sure to eat more of the white rind of your citrus fruits for even more antioxidant power!

½ cup coconut,

shredded, unsweetened

¼ cup chia seeds 1 tsp cinnamon ½ tsp nutmeg Pinch of sea salt

On a more visual level, regular exercise will translate into a more toned body and a change in clothing size, which will boost self-confidence and increase your energy levels. This helps you become much more productive throughout the day!

¼ cups + water 1 cup cashews, raw (pre-soaked 30 min+, drained) ⅓ cup extra virgin coconut oil (EVCO), melted 3 Tbsp honey, raw, local 1 tsp vanilla extract, pure ½ lemon, juice of Shredded orange peels, to garnish

Event addresses elder abuse Megan DeLaire

mdelaire@metroland.com

Graduate students in Algonquin College’s victimology program hosted an awareness event at the college centred on elder abuse on April 21 as part of National Victims of Crime Awareness Week. The event, Respect and Dignity: Strengthening Community Responses to Elder Abuse, included discussions by a panel of representatives from the Ottawa police victim crisis, mobile crisis and elder abuse units, as well as speakers from the Community Care Access Centre, the Elder Abuse Response and Referral Service, and Elder Abuse Ontario. The panel’s keynote address was delivered by Dr. Kerry Burnight, president of Ageless Alliance in California, director of America’s first elder abuse forensic centre, and clinical professor of family medicine at the University of California. Burnight’s research focuses on the medical forensic aspects of ! elder abuse and the develop-

ment of new models for understanding it. “Elder abuse remains a hidden shame. It’s private. And because the biggest perpetrator group is family members, it’s complex,” Burnight said. The solution, he said, is to encourage dialogues about elder abuse and develop a model for addressing it that is as comprehensive as the issue is complex. “There’s a lot of great people doing work in different silos, but you can only address the medical, legal and ethical complexity of elder abuse by uniting people. You must have a physician, a mental health specialist, a social worker, a law enforcement officer,” Burnight said. “So in terms of a model, anything that brings together multidisciplinary collaboration is going to result in better outcomes for older adults.” The symposium on April 21 served mainly to connect service providers in Ottawa that deal with elder abuse to better facilitate collaboration in the future.

Members of the public were also invited to attend the panel discussion and gain valuable information about resources in Ottawa that exist to address elder abuse. Victimology student Tru Evans organized the event to promote collaboration between organizations that address elder abuse, fostering a more comprehensive city-wide network for preventing and reacting to elder abuse. “What the victimology program is about is to put the focus on victims of crime and what their needs are, and what we can do to help them,” Evans said. “And so this whole event today is to bring together partner agencies that would deal with elder abuse.” Evans organized the event in collaboration with Ottawa police, the Council on Aging of Ottawa, the Nepean, Rideau and Osgoode community resource centres, and the Canadian Justice Department, and had help on the day of the event from fellow victimology students. 0416.R0013224718
