Bass Pro planned for Kanata canned Brier Dodge and Adam Kveton brier.dodge@metroland.com

Bass Pro Shop won’t be coming to Kanata after all.

The decision was confirmed by Bass Pro spokeswoman Mary Mardis on May 4.

While customer service representatives from the company responded to customer inquiries on May 4 that the Kanata store was in the works for a 2017 opening, Mardis confirmed the project wouldn’t be moving forward.

“We are not moving forward with the Kanata store at this time,” she said in an email.

Work starts on Monahan Drain in Bridlewood Area a ‘major construction site’ for up to two years

Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

A human-designed wetland in south Kanata has just started to undergo an $8-million makeover to increase its capacity as a stormwater drain, rectify water quality issues and improve the landscaping.

With work on the Monahan Drain just south of Bridlewood having begun last November, construction and landscaping is expected to finish in 2016, depending on how the construction season goes, said Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley.

Despite the disruption the work will likely cause to waAdam Kveton/Metroland ter quality, plant and animal The habitat of these Canada geese will undergo a major change as part of $8 million in life in the area, the project construction to expand Monahan Drain’s stormwater capacity and landscape the area to is “a good thing,” said the Rideau Valley Conservation make it more people-friendly.

Authority’s director of communication, Diane Downey.

The Monahan Drain was built around the same time

G\XZ\ f] d`e[ gifk\Zk`fe ]fi

PFLI =8D@CP " PFLI ?FD<

as the Bridlewood community in the late ’80s to handle stormwater, said Hubley.

“All the water from the storm sewers for more than half of Bridlewood dumps into that location,” he said.

“The problem was Bridlewood was built a lot bigger than it was originally anticipated, so the drain was too small and we were starting to experience capacity issues with it.

“Then you add in all the building that’s going on over in Fernbank and most of that (stormwater) will drain into that location too, so we had to do an upgrade to the facility,” said Hubley.

During the so-called 100year storm in 2009 that flooded hundreds of homes in Ottawa’s west end, Monahan Drain was overwhelmed, causing water flows to reverse and flood yards along Glamorgan Drive and Castle Glen Crescent, according to a city report.

Having secured $8 million to construct the “Cadillac version” of the site this year, Hubley said the much-needed project will be one of the biggest for Kanata South during

this term of council.

Residents in the area, including some from the Bridlewood Trails Retirement Community, were alarmed when trees were cut down to make way for the expansion of the ponds in the drain area, said Hubley.

“They were worried that we were clearing the area because we were going to build houses up to the waterfront, and that’s not the case,” he said.

Hubley held a meeting with the Bridlewood Community Association in October of 2014, and another with the Bridlewood Trails Retirement Community on April 21.

At those meetings, he explained that plans for the area go beyond increasing the drain’s capacity.

An “extensive amount” of landscaping will take place closer to the spring of 2016 after construction is finished, he said, and will include new trees, shrubs, aquatic plants and paved pathways, which will serve as the start of a fitness trail plan Hubley supports.

construction

Asked if she had any concern for water quality or impacts on animals during the construction period, Downey said mitigation measures currently in place will work to reduce those kinds of impacts.

The current Monahan Drain pathways will be closed as construction continues, with the west side trails closed starting in mid-May, and the east side trails closed from the beginning of July.

Both sets of pathways will remain cordoned off until work ends.

R0013192101-0326

Overall, the work will create an area where people can walk, take in animal life and work out using benches and other installations along the path.

“Those are all things that we are really looking forward to having in the community,” said Margaret Kellaway, president of the Bridlewood Community Association.

“It’s going to be disruptive, obviously, as they do the work, but I’m sure the end result is going to be beneficial for our community,” she said.

Downey gave a similar assessment, saying the transition to this new wetland will be a difficult one, but one that will ultimately pay off.

“When all is said and done, it’s going to be in an improved state and definitely be an enhanced area for

handling stormwater, improving water quality that’s heading towards the Jock River,” she said. “That in turn makes it better for all the species, the fish or shoreline species, so it’s an improvement.”

This mock-up image may be the closest Kanata ever gets to getting a Bass Pro Shop after Bass Pro media relations people confirmed the company is not going ahead with its plan for a store in Kanata.

He said the new store is not an outdoor outfitter, but is a recognizable name, adding he couldn’t comment further as the deal has not yet solidified.

Perkins said he hoped to have construction on the Kanata site start in early 2016.

The closest Bass Pro Shop to Ottawa is at Vaughan Mills in Vaughan, Ont. Ottawa will be the second Ontario Cabela’s location, with the first location in Barrie.

“A lot of people obviously are interested in that type of use and we are certainly disappointed and certainly a lot of people that we speak to are disappointed that they are not coming to Kanata.”

Perkins said he does not know if Bass Pro is looking at other sites in Ottawa, but said Broccolini is working with another large-scale retailer to replace Bass Pro as an anchor for their Kanata retail site.

In February, Bass Pro said they were still moving forward with the Kanata store, despite the announcement that Cabela’s, another major outfitter chain, was also coming to Kanata.

Cabela’s is planned for the west side of the new Tanger Outlets shopping centre and north of the Canadian Tire Centre in a Taggart Realty Management development.

Bass Pro announced in late 2013 that it would be anchoring a 210,437-square-metre Broccolini Construction development, on the east side of the new Tanger Outlets shopping centre, saying it planned to open in 2015.

“Is Cabela’s still coming?” said Arnprior’s Scott Coady, an active hunter and fisherman, when he heard about the Bass Pro cancellation. “That’s my first reaction, but that’s too bad, because (Bass Pro) is a fantastic establishment.

“It would have been interesting and a little strange to have both (Cabela’s and Bass Pro) so close together. It’s too bad Bass Pro isn’t coming, but as long as we have one outdoor superstore on the west end, that’s great and I’m happy.”

The proximity of the two outdoor outfitters was not a problem, said Bass Pro spokeswoman Katie Mitchell in February, after saying Bass Pro still intended to open in Kanata.

“We are in lots of markets that also have Cabela’s close by, so I don’t think Cabela’s has a bearing one way or the other on whether or not we put a store there,” she said.

However, Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said in February that she had doubts the U.S. retailer would stick with their original plans in light of the Cabela’s announcement.

Taggart’s vice president of development, Jeff Parkes, also had doubts about Bass Pro, questioning if the store was thinking twice about opening so close to a Cabela’s.

“We are certainly disappointed,” said Broccolini Construction’s vice president of real estate in Ottawa, Bob Perkins, on May 5. The developer was working to bring Bass Pro to their site in

South Kanata residents drive route 66 bus improvements Improvements to other routes to take effect June 28 Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

If you ever plan to motor east and west, route 66 may be the bus route that’s the best.

For anyone routinely frustrated by being stuffed into OC Transpo bus route 66, or missed their ride home due to its inaccurate schedule, the frustration should be over.

ADDED TRIP

Another afternoon trip has been added to the route, which runs down Old Richmond Road to Bridlewood, and higher-capacity buses, such as extended busses and double-deckers, have started running the route with greater frequency, said Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley.

Spacing between trips is also being regulated more closely to ensure buses arrive on time.

The changes, put into effect April 20, are in response to the efforts of several south Kanata residents, said Hubley.

“They didn’t just call over a complaint and say there is a problem with route 66,” said Hubley. “There were several residents and what they did was they talked to other riders and then they started proposing solutions to this.”

After a meeting between OC Transpo managers and

the residents before the winter holidays, their ideas were incorporated into the changes, said Hubley.

“It was driven by the riders and a few riders taking the time to actually contribute some ideas on how to fix this,” he said, adding that he could not identify the residents.

The route 66 riders explained the route often arrived at the wrong times, was often too packed to accept more riders, and left for Bridlewood too early for those headed home after work.

Retired CBC-TV reporter Cory O’Kelly routinely tweeted his gripes regarding having to ride the crowded bus using #AdventuresonRoute66, reporting his sightings of double-decker buses in the Bridlewood area.

The new trip to Bridlewood leaves Hurdman Station at 4:15 p.m., said Hubley’s office. All route 66 buses leaving after 4:20 p.m. will be serviced by 18-metre articulated buses or doubledecker buses.

“Getting residents home more efficiently after a long day’s work is always worth the investment,” said Hubley.

“People shouldn’t have to worry about missing the last bus home and with these improvements they won’t need to.”

MORE CHANGES

In addition to the route 66 changes, routes 61 and 62 are being spaced more accurately to keep the buses on time as of April 20, said Hubley’s office.

Further service changes are planned for June 28.

FILE

Double-decker buses and articulated buses are coming to route 66 in Bridlewood after riders’ complaints and suggestions about packed and untimely buses prompted increases in capacity and another afternoon trip.

Route 161 peak hour service will increase to every 30 minutes, Monday to Friday, every 60 minutes between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. (up from 120 minutes)

and will have its service hours extended from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m..

Route 164 will be extended on Hope Side Road to Old

Richmond Road, with some portions to be replaced by route 168, which will go from Terry Fox Station to the Bridlewood and Trailwest communi-

Much at stake in labour battle

J

ust like the mercury rising in thermometers across Ontario these days, temperatures are rising in the latest chapter in a series of showdowns between the provincial government and the teachers unions.

The last time this happened, back in December 2012, Dalton McGuinty was still premier, autumn was turning into winter and relations between Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park and the teachers were just as chilly as they are today. That dispute, which the unions characterized as a fight about rights and the province said was about money, was among the factors that saw McGuinty move on to a secluded life of Ivy League academia and started the process of current Premier Kathleen Wynneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rise to power.

How little has changed in a few short years. From the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perspective, it was about holding the line on salaries then, just as it is now. The teachers are once again claiming itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an attack on rights, not about pay.

Two things should shape this dispute, but likely wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t: the province still has significant budget woes,

and teachers are still well paid. Whether those facts have any influence over the negotiations remains to be seen. Eventually one side will cave in, yet by then some sort of damage will be done to the rest of us.

Either the province will cave, as it did back in 2012, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be stuck with the bill or, after some sort of disruption in our schools, teachers will grudgingly return to work, smarting from a battle lost.

Back in 2012, this newspaper supported a different notion: all differences aside, what must be held foremost in the minds of all parties is that education is about our children. Children are the future of this province, and any shot it has at returning to prosperity has a lot to do with them. Bitterness or cold calculation today will only lead to ruin tomorrow.

Some sort of compromise needs to be struck that allows the province to move forward with reducing the deficit, while at the same time ensuring satisfaction and security for teachers.

This is far from an easy task, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what must be done to ensure that Ontario doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t continue to lose its way.

Give Sparks Street pedestrian mall a break

T

heyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve started talking about cars on Sparks Street again.

You could have predicted it, because it happens every time somebody notices Sparks Street.

When somebody notices Sparks Street, particularly if it is after business hours, somebody notices that there are no people on it.

Then they start talking about putting cars on it again, as if that would solve something. It would; it would solve the problem of there being no cars on Sparks Street. But it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t solve anything else.

For much of the time -- say, 9 to 5, May to October -- there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much that needs solving on Sparks Street. People are out and about, chatting, eating food from one of the food wagons, listening to a busker,

Over its 48-year history, they have tried various things to â&#x20AC;&#x153;saveâ&#x20AC;? the Sparks Street mall.

away and new ones are put in there.

Then there are events, mostly involving food competitions of one sort or another. These draw well, but they leave eventually and it becomes the same old Sparks Street again. The main problem is that the big stores decided, around the time the Rideau Centre opened in 1983, to leave Sparks Street. So Sparks Street is no longer a shopping destination.

Another problem, which may solve itself as more and more condos and apartment buildings go up, is that most of the population decides to leave Sparks Street too, as soon as the workday is over.

Sparks Street needs to be thought of as the place to go, and it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

And even if there were riots, they would have taken place on Elgin Street, which somehow got to be the Sens Mile. Sparks Street canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t catch a break. Putting cars back on it would just add insult to injury.

suburban malls. The place to go for drinking and dining is the ByWard Market. Sparks Street is the place to go to look at the structures in the middle of it and try to figure out what they are.

To be thought of as the place to go, Sparks Street needs excitement.

If there had been riots on Sparks Street after the elimination game against Montreal that would have put Sparks Street on the map. People would go down in the off season to see where the riots happened. During the playoffs they would go down there to riot.

But there werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any riots, despite the Senators having been robbed by the ref of the tying goal, despite Subban breaking Stoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wrist, despite the plain old injustice of it all. To their credit, Ottawans, unlike, say, Vancouverites, just arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rioting people. When the ref ruins everything, we write letters to the editor.

Put your spouse first and keep it simple

W

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse claimed she is consistently able to prioritize her spouse -- that would be nothing but a bold lie on my part. But at times, I have been able to bump my husband up the hierarchy, and when I do, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great thing.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be honest, budget, timing and fatigue have made regular date nights difficult for us over the years. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m frequently guilty of scheduling all kinds of space for

But with work commitments, personal chores, lack of money, time, fatigue, no babysitter, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to organize regular date nights, right? my children, my friends and my clients, without a single line item in my calendar for my spouse. At times, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve overcome this by keeping our marital dates as simple as possible â&#x20AC;&#x201C; taking a walk, meeting for lunch during our work day, or playing a board game in the evening after the kids are in bed (early). When

Correction In the April 30 edition of the Kanata Kourier-Standard, a Nepean Business Achievement Award winner was incorrectly identified. East Coast Limos was the recipient of the customer service award.

weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been successful, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve put the spouse-only time in the calendar and stuck to it just as we would to any other activity. And we have a rule: Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk about the kids.

But we should have another rule: No smartphones.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so guilty of responding to the alluring beep mid-conversation instead of staring deeply into my husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes. One of my clients enforces â&#x20AC;&#x153;presenceâ&#x20AC;? at meetings, which means no texts, emails or social media when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re engaging with team members face-to-face.

The same should apply to quality time with anyone, but spouses in particular.

How can you possibly have a meaningful conversation or intimate quality time with your spouse when Jan from Australia is distracting you with a hilarious YouTube video of her cat she just shared on Facebook? You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

A couple of things we do consistently well though.

We greet each other in the morning â&#x20AC;&#x201C; first thing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing how quickly a parent will go to grab a crying baby or even routinely hug a child. But do you hug your spouse each morning? And do you do it first? Regardless of the early hour, if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re late, if we look or smell bad,

ith three kids, a business and a fat cat, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not easy for me to make time for my spouse. Pondering this made me realize many parents are great prioritizers, but a lot of us really arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t great at prioritizing our marriages.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to skirt the issue and say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll prioritize my spouse when the kids get older.â&#x20AC;? But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lying to ourselves. Sure, older children develop independence, but they continue to take up a lot of time, money, energy, plus physical and emotional space. Regardless of age, kids have homework, friends, tantrums, extra-curricular pursuits, never mind issues that keep parents up all night. Ask married friends with kids to be honest about how often they share a bed with the spouse for an entire night. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sure to discover thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of couch sleeping going on.

But with work commitments, personal chores, lack of money, time, fatigue, no babysitter, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to organize regular date nights, right? Maybe, and yet, in spite all those seemingly valid excuses we still manage to hustle the kids to their regular piano lessons, hockey practices and friendsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; birthday parties, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we?

Maybe we do spend time together every day. But are we truly focused on one another? Smartphones and social media are so pervasive it seems the entire world is invading our most intimate relationships.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to be as bold as one Huffington Post columnist who, in April,

if the kids are screaming, or if we had an argument before bed, my husband and I hug in the kitchen and say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;good morning.â&#x20AC;? I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say it happens every day, but we do it enough that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become a meditation of sorts, like flossing.

We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let the kids in our bed. If you want to bump your spouse up the food chain, get the kids out of

your bed. Period. Sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to cuddle with kids.

Sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s necessary if they wake in the night crying. Go to the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bed temporarily if you must, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let them into yours.

Especially once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re through the baby stage, make the marriage bed a sacred place, the one place that only the parents get to own completely. And try to sleep in it,

together, as often as you can.

And cuddle.

Keeping a marriage rolling through the ups and downs of parenting is pretty challenging. It seems logical that my spouse get some priority time and space in my life, even if he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be top dog all the time. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not always successful at giving him that, but I do think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a worthwhile and necessary pursuit -- which reminds me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to update my calendar and turn off my smartphone notifications permanently.

Fundraiser for shelter blows past goal Individual donations of up to $1,000 result in more than $8,000 for Harmony House Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

Week in Review This past week I had the pleasure of attending the Intercultural Dialogue Institute’s annual Public Heroes Awards Ceremony. This event is held to honour the outstanding service of Ottawa Police, Fire and Paramedic Services in maintaining public safety in the City of Ottawa. This year’s recipients were: Maria Keen, Ottawa Police Service Jim Andrews, Ottawa Fire Service and John Rathier, Ottawa Paramedic Service. Congratulations!

Generous donors from the Kanata area and beyond made Hazeldean Mall’s fundraiser for a women’s shelter a bigger success than organizers had hoped, with $8,007 raised for Harmony House.

The mall’s marketing director, Melanie Westland, came up with the idea for the Building a Violence-Free Future campaign to help Harmony House, a second-stage women’s shelter that provides low-rent apartments for up to a year for women and their children who are fleeing abuse.

Westland said she hoped to raise about $5,000 for the shelter.

But, through the course of the fundraiser, which ran from March 28 to April 12, do-

nors routinely donated far more than the $2 Westland was expecting.

Shoppers could purchase paper bricks for $2 each, which would then go on a mock house, showing the growth in funds.

“We were pleasantly surprised when (we would) go to sell (someone) a brick for $2 and they turn around and hand you a $50 instead,” she said.

Some donors travelled from well outside of Kanata to make a donation, said Westland.

“We had one gentleman who had come in and donated $250 that he had won in, I think it was bingo. He wanted to do something good with it as opposed to just spending it,” she said.

The largest donation the mall received was $1,000 from an individual who “very discretely handed it over to us,” said Westland.

“I thought it was really fantastic,” said Harmony House’s fund development manager, Kerry Gervais of the fundraiser.

The money from the fundraiser will support the women’s shelter’s various pro-

grams, including childcare, advocacy, the shelter’s internal food bank, and its back to work program.

“We are in a funding crisis all the time,” said Gervais, though the shelter has been in a particularly difficult situation after losing some funders, and is currently running a deficit of more than $17,000, say Canada Revenue Agency reports.

Nonetheless, the registered charity has managed to upgrade its apartment units to make them fully accessible for women with disabilities.

The next project the shelter plans is upgrading its office and library, said Gervais.

To help with that and support the continued operation of the shelter’s programs, Harmony House is holding a golf tournament and dinner at Casselview Golf and Country Club in Casselman on June 11.

The Nine Wine and Dine event will include silent and live auctions, door prizes, a wine course and barbecue dinner.

For more information, go to www.harmonyhousews.com.

Illegal Dumping It has been brought to my attention by several residents, that they have noticed residential garbage dumping in some of the City parks, road right-of-ways, and City facility grounds, within the community.

I would like to encourage all residents that witness activity such as this, to please record as many details as possible, and report the matter to 3-1-1, in order for By-law Services to address the matter accordingly. Should you observe any City park garbage receptacles overflowing, please phone 3-1-1 or create a service request online through the Service Ottawa portal link by visiting: http://ottawa.ca/ en/serviceottawa/recreation-and-culture/city-park-maintenance.

Fire Hydrant Testing The City of Ottawa will be testing about 10,000 fire hydrants in the south, central and west ends of the City beginning today and ending in October. Hydrants are inspected annually to ensure that they are ready should they be needed by Ottawa Fire Services.

While hydrants are being tested, neighbouring households may experience temporary inconveniences such as discoloured water and reduced water pressure. The discoloured water, which occurs when the testing process disturbs sediments in the water pipes, does not affect water quality but can stain laundry. The planned work schedule is posted on www.ottawa.ca .

Tim Horton’s Cleaning the Capital Please remember to register your clean team for the spring Clean the Capital!

It’s not too late to join: • Go to ottawa.ca, or call 3-1-1 (TTY: 613-580-2401) to register for the cleanup. The new interactive map on the website makes it easier than ever.

Kanata school plans $4.5M expansion Construction to bump capacity by 370 students Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

North Kanata’s only French public school has a major expansion planned that will increase the school’s capacity from 540 to 910 students.

The expansion, which will cost $4.5 million, is in response to greater demand for French public school services due in large part to an increase in francophones in the area, said Linda Savard, the French public school board trustee for west and south Ottawa.

“All the western part of the city has tremendous growth for the francophone community,” said Savard.

French parents are also noticing that it’s easier for their children to keep their language in a completely French environment rather than in a French immersion setting where English is often spoken during lunch or recess, she said.

Add to that the large number of non-Christian immigrants to the area who are more interested in a public school setting, and the need for a significant increase in French public school capacity is evident, said Savard.

The 15-year-old school, located on Halton Terrace in the South March area, currently has eight non-permanent classrooms attached to the building, as well as several portables, but had little space for any more, said Savard.

ADAM KVETON/METROLAND

The French public elementary school Kanata, on Halton Terrace in the South March area, is preparing to add another 21 classrooms with a two-storey extension, with construction scheduled to start this summer.

After appealing to the province, the board received $4.5 million last year for the expansion, which will result in a two-storey addition of 21 classrooms and a community room available for rent.

Though space on the school’s property is limited, Savard said the construction will take advantage of a hill in back of the school to create the two-storey addition.

Once the site plan for the construction is approved by the city, the non-permanent classrooms and most of the portables will be removed, she said.

“We are hoping there will be no portables left at all,” said Savard.

The board hopes construction can begin this summer and that by December the project will be complete.

Much of the construction will occur offsite, with prefabricated sections brought to the school, said Savard.

The school is not expected to be at full capacity right away, she said, but Savard expects the school population will reach about 700 fairly quickly, and that interest in attending the school will continue to grow.

TRANSPORTATION IN KANATA Transportation Action Committee Kanata (TACK) is a dedicated group of volunteers who responded to my request to look into transportation issues in Kanata North. The aim of TACK is to foster a quality of service that benefits all residents who are users of transit, cycling, sidewalks (pedestrians), and roads as their modes of transportation. They have developed a survey to find out how people move about in our community. They are asking to have each member of your household (age 14 or older) fill in the survey. All responses remain confidential and anonymous. The collective results will be posted on my website in June. Go to http://tiny.cc/TransportationStudy2015 to access the survey.

MAY IS BIKE TO WORK MONTH TACK is holding a public meeting and open house on CYCLING, Tuesday May 19 at 7:30pm at the Mlacak Centre, 2500 Campeau Drive. They have been studying cycling in the community, mapping both safe and dangerous cycling routes, checking on the condition of pathways and cycling lanes and considering priorities for work in Kanata North. At the meeting, TACK will present their findings, give demonstrations and answer questions. Come out and meet your neighbours, enjoy cookies and refreshments, and also learn how you can become more active and get involved.

A BUSY WEEKEND Last weekend was a busy one and the weather was spectacular. Many groups were out picking up waste and removing graffiti as their contribution to Cleaning the Capital. It’s not too late to do your part in helping to clean up our neighbourhoods, register at www.ottawa.ca/clean.

Over the weekend, I participated in four walks – the Jane’s Walk around the Beaverpond that featured our new arboretum and a discussion on keeping nature within an urban area, CN Cycle for CHEO (I walked 2 km), another 2km at the Hike for Hospice in Kanata and I walked with Ottawa’s Interfaith Housing Group. I also attended a Coffee House fundraiser for scholarships, Vesak Day and the start of Asian Heritage Month with local Buddhists, I dropped into the Kanata Senior’s Sale and I enjoyed the Goulbourn Jubilee Singer’s concert. The Kanata Art Gallery’s tour was another successful event.

It is wonderful to be able to support some of the many community groups and activities that make Kanata and the rest of the City of Ottawa a great place to live.

Beaverbrook violinist Trevor Wilson was recently accepted to the National Youth Orchestra of Canada, becoming one of the 100 people selected from nearly 500 talented musicians across the country. He hopes the experience will help him on his way to becoming a conductor.

Kanata musician to perform with prestigious National Youth Orchestra Fourth-generation violinist hopes to trade in bow for baton Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

Up-and-coming violinist Trevor Wilson has just taken his next step to becoming one of Canada’s foremost orchestral performers with his acceptance to the National Youth Orchestra of Canada.

Having auditioned with close to 500 talented young musicians from across the country, the 20year-old Beaverbrook resident was one of 100 selected to take part in the professional training orchestra for emerging artists, said National Youth Orchestra Canada in a news release.

A violinist since age five, Wilson comes from a long line of fiddle players, the passion having been handed down from his great-grandfather to his grandfather, then on to Wilson’s uncle, Cameron Wilson, who has performed as a member of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra and the CBC Radio Orchestra.

Wilson’s uncle was also a member of the National Youth Orchestra, making his acceptance another step in line with his family’s musical achievements.

But despite his strength and passion for the violin, and excitement at having been accepted to the National Youth Orchestra, Wilson said he hopes the experience helps him further another goal – one which steps out from his family’s narrative.

Wilson is working towards being a conductor, he said, in the hopes of expressing himself “in a way not possible when playing the violin.”

BEING A MUSICIAN

“Ever since a very young age I knew that I wanted to be a musician,” said Wilson in an email.

“It has always been my life’s primary focus and source of inspiration.”

Performing in various groups, one of Wilson’s most inspirational experiences has been performing in northern Europe as co-concertmaster of the Ottawa Youth Orchestra Academy’s senior orchestra in 2012.

“Being a part of this group

brought me much closer to the musical community and gave me a good idea as to what being an orchestral musician was all about,” he said.

Though Wilson’s work performing in orchestras like the University of Ottawa Orchestra and the Ottawa Symphony Orchestra continued, he nurtured a love for composing as well, he said.

“My uncle served as an important early inspiration on that front,” said Wilson.

But Wilson’s latest musical interest has been conducting, he said, inspired by American conductor Leonard Bernstein. “(His) emotional investment into music performance was appealing to me, and so I tried to imitate his gestures,” said Wilson.

That’s where his interest in conducting comes from, he said – communicating emotion in a more relevant way.

“As a performer, one has to concentrate on the physical act of playing an instrument,” he said.

But, in order to be convincing, the performer also has to act out the music he or she is playing.

That means moving about in a way that isn’t necessary to play the instrument, but is necessary to communicate the music to the audience.

“In conducting … the same kind of concentration is required, but I can channel that emotion to manifest itself in the actual act of conducting, which is very appealing to me as it allows me to express myself in ways not possible when playing the violin,” said Wilson.

To become a conductor, Wilson needs to continue working on his grasp of music and how successful orchestras operate, he said, and that is where performing with the National Youth Orchestra of Canada will help.

The orchestra operates from June 21 to Aug. 11, incorporating a comprehensive training program with concerts taking place in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton and Ottawa.

“The (National Youth Orchestra of Canada) being composed of such talented young musicians, I hope to meet and bond with others who share a similar passion for this art,” said Wilson.

Final LRT western extension open house reveals recommendations mdelaire@metroland.com

The city revealed recommendations for the western light rail extension on April 29, which included removing and adding stations along the line and establishing routes for construction detours on April 29.

Plans for the extension were disclosed in what the city called the final western extension open house at city hall. Representatives from the city’s transportation planning department said that the final plans revealed on April 29 for the LRT track and its corresponding stations were deemed the most suitable out of 12 options.

Factors considered when choosing the final route included economic feasibility, environmental impact, transit efficiency and accessibility, and working around municipal infrastructure including a large underground water main and a large underground sanitary sewer.

The city confirmed that Queensway station would be decommissioned and replaced with a new Queensview station further west. Two other new LRT stations confirmed include Cleary station on Cleary Avenue and New Orchard station between Clearly and Lincoln Fields stations. Lincoln Fields station will be reconstructed slightly north of its current location, beneath Carling Avenue.

The presentation addressed concerns by some residents about whether tracks would be laid over Byron linear park.

According to the city’s presentation, the LRT line would be situated below grade on the northern edge of the park.

“There’s thousands of people who use that park,” said Charles Biscope, a resident of nearby Alison Street. “But I think, by

the looks of it, it’s going to be OK. Then again, it’s way down the road.”

The presentation also addressed fears that construction of the LRT extension from Lincoln Fields station to Baseline station would negatively affect the ecology of Pinecrest Creek and the surrounding woods and trails.

Planning consultant David Hopper said that the watershed, which has been reshaped over the years by development, would be returned to its original alignment as part of construction along the corridor. Hopper added that former wetland areas along the Pinecrest corridor would be restored in order to renaturalize the area and mitigate flooding.

Hopper talked about the effect on transit and road traffic during construction of the western extension. He said that in addition to Scott Street and Richmond Road, Carling Avenue and Hwy. 417 would be used to re-route buses from the existing Transitway during construction of the line between Tunney’s Pasture and Dominion stations.

Karen Large, who lives near Scott Street, was relieved by the prospect of other roadways being used to re-route bus traffic. She and many residents in neighbourhoods along Scott have expressed concern in the past about the impacts of LRT construction on local traffic.

SUBMITTED/CITY OF OTTAWA

Construction on the Confederation Line West LRT Extension will involve transforming existing transit stations and constructing new ones.

“I’m really encouraged today because they’re actually taking a lot of our ideas and they’re utilizing them for phase two.

We kept asking them where the buses were going to go, there’s 2,500 buses a day,” Large said.

“Now what I’m very excited about, and was not expecting, is that they’re now reconsidering some of their design.”

Among topics that left some people concerned were plans for Cleary station to be constructed on Cleary Avenue behind the Unitarian House of Ottawa, a retirement facility. Residents of Unitarian House were worried about sound and vibration disturbances during construction, as well as changes to the geog-

raphy of the Unitarian House parking lot. Residents at the open house also expressed concerns about a large bus staging

area Hopper said would be constructed as part of LRT modifications to Bayshore station.

City transportation planning

representatives said public comments would be considered in future planning and engineering of the western LRT extension.

Kanata Theatre finishing season with devilish bonspiel Kanata Theatre

Ever since Eve and the apple, and long suffering Job, the devil has been bent on making us hapless humans do his bidding.

One of his favourite methods is to tempt mankind with a legal contract, exchanging his (or her) soul in the afterlife, for their immediate heart’s desire.

The oldest version recalls the legend of Theophilus who sold his soul for a prestigious position in the Church, no less. Dr. Johannes Faustus barters his soul to work miracles such as bringing Helen of Troy back to life. Daniel Webster the famous American lawyer is called upon to defend his client whose soul was in payment for seven years of good farm crops.

In “The Black Bonspiel of Wullie MacCrimmon,” Kanata Theatre’s final play of the season, the enterprising Beelzebub takes a stab at adding a Canadian soul to his collection. And what does a dyed-in-the-tartan Scottish Canuck from 1930’s Wildrose Alberta wish for more than anything? “I would give anything for to skip the winning rink in

The Kanata Theatre is finishing off its season with a devilish play about a man who gives his soul to win a curling match. the Macdonald Brier Finals,” he says.

That’s right, Wullie wants to win the mother of all curling matches to experience the thrill of that last winning rock in the final end: “Right down the sheet,” and Old Scratch would like Wullie’s soul to add as the ‘third‘ on his home rink team in perpetuity.

Before you ask, the rink in Hell is artificial, comprised of Basaltic sheets and highly polished volcanic deposit.

The contract is produced from his hellish briefcase and the signature obtained when Satan visits Wullie‘s cobbler shop to have his curling shoes (the better to hide his cloven hoofs) resoled. The date is set, and it’s Wullie’s team: Malleable, Pipe-fitting, Clock and Reverend Pringle pitted against Old Scratch’s team.

Despite the high stakes, Kanata Theatre director Shelagh Mills reports many funfilled rehearsals and a very entertaining show. Plenty of fog and lighting effects will make the devil (played by baritoned Derek

Paul Behncke/submitted

Barr) feel at home, and the on-stage rink will use special rocks built on casters, having more in common with the curling rocks of the 1930s.

“The Black Bonspiel of Wullie MacCrimmon” runs May 12 to 23 at the Ron Maslin Playouse at1 Ron Maslin Way, just off Terry Fox Drive in Walter Baker Park. Tickets are $20.

Grassroot Grannies members Stella Val, left, and Shirley Taggart lend a hand during the 2014 annual Plant Sale and Market Place, held by the grannies in Kanata. This year, the grannies are holding their ninth event on May 9.

The Grassroot Grannies are holding their ninth annual plant sale with hundreds of hardy flowers for sale in support of hardworking grandmothers in Africa.

The annual Plant Sale and Market Place, taking place on May 9 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., will include pots, Grassroot Grannies greeting cards, hand-painted bird houses, stained glass ornaments and gently used jewelry, as well as, for the first time, used scarves and purses.

The location of the sale has changed this year to Rutherford Way, near Roland Michener Park in Beaverbrook.

Signage will point the way to the location, said Grassroot Granny Stella Val. The sale has been an im-

portant fundraising tool for the grannies, who raised $8,000 from the event last year, contributing to the $300,000 total the group has raised in eight years.

“They are just unrelenting,” said Val of the grannies’ work ethic.

Val has been a member of the group for three years, saying she joined “because I was retired and I wanted to do something meaningful.”

The grannies support grandmothers in sub-Saharan Africa who are raising grandchildren orphaned by the AIDS pandemic.

As a grandmother heavily involved with six grandchildren herself, Val said she empathizes with the hard-working African grandmothers, though they take on so much more.

“Some of those grandmothers, they are not 100 per cent healthy, and they have this burden that they accept so willingly and with so much love that I just think we should support them,” said Val.

Money raised from the Grassroot Grannies’ events goes to the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign, which supports projects aimed at improving nutrition, health care and education for the African grandchildren, while enabling grandmothers to make money of their own.

Val said she hopes this ninth plant sale does as well as it has in previous years, providing a good selection for gardeners and those hunting for mother’s day gifts. Horticulturalists will be on site to give information on how best to care for the plants.

Though it’s still early in the gardening season and many plants are not yet in bloom, the grannies say now is the time to start planting.

The plants will be colourcoded to aid in choosing just the right plant for your garden.

The event will take place rain or shine.

CFUW Kanata to celebrate 20 years CFUW Kanata

The Canadian Federation of University Women of Kanata is reaching a milestone this year.

The Club will be turning twenty years of age and a special celebration on May 13 at the Cedarhill Golf and Country Club will commemorate the club’s achievements. Chapter members actively support

community endeavours from scholarships, the Kanata Food Cupboard, the west end Hospice, Chrysalis House and many other worthy projects.

A group of ladies (including Marianne Wilkinson, Shirley Hendrie and Barbara Carriere) in the mid-1990s decided to form a new West End CFUW Club, an off-shoot from the CFUW Ottawa Club. CFUW

Kanata is one of 122 CFUW Clubs across Canada. It was felt that as the City of Kanata was expanding there was a necessity to expose women to the club’s mandate of personal growth, community service and international fellowship.

Members study and advocate for social issues, particularly those concerning the status of women, human rights, educa0507.R0013245478

tion and legislation.

CFUW Kanata received its charter in July of 1995 with Barbara Carriere as its first president leading 62 chartered members. Each of the subsequent eighteen presidents have left their legacy, for example, Loraine Drewell (2004-05) initiated the resolution to stop the implementation of Sharia Law in Ontario. Joy Forbes (201012) brought autism and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome to the forefront and Sandy Burger (201213) helps decide which Canadian post doctorate will receive a CFUW National Scholarship to assist in higher education.

Carol Fowler is the current president who works diligently on CFUW issues with a membership of 119 members as of April.

Initial monthly meetings were held at the Beaverbrook Community Center. As the membership grew, meetings moved to Holy Redeemer Catholic Church, then St. Paul Anglican Church and currently we meet at the Stonehaven Manor at 70 Stonehaven Dr.

Grand Opening

Joy Forbes/submitted

The Canadian Federation of University Women for Kanata is planning a celebration for the club’s 20th anniversary on May 13.

The club always has very interesting guest speakers informing members on current issues. Members also participate in several interest groups from food groups, history, book clubs, outings, card games, current issues to travel group. A CFUW membership helps develop friendships, team work and social awareness.

CFUW Kanata started a

scholarship trust fund in 2006 to assist local female high school students with funding for higher education as well as support a mature female student at Algonquin College. It is the club’s tradition to hold an annual June Tea to give the high school recipients their scholarship award.

Unique exhibit offers inside view of the living world Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

Ever wondered what the inside of a frog looks like, but felt too squeamish to dissect one?

A new exhibit opening at the Canadian Museum of Nature in May is set to offer the opportunity to see what’s under different animals’ skin, without getting your hands dirty.

“It’s all about a method that aims to show specimens in a different way,” said Kamal Khidas, a curator of vertebrate collections at the museum.

“That’s the magic of this exhibit.”

Created by Body Worlds, the exhibit, called Animal Inside Out, pulls back the skin on dozens of species, from a shark and ostrich to a giraffe, camel and even a human body.

Body Worlds was behind the internationally acclaimed and controversial exhibition that displayed the insides of human bodies that had been preserved using a process called plastination. Animal Inside Out’s specimens were also preserved using the method, which replaces bodily fluids with plastics. It was invented by anatomist Gunther van Hagens in the 1970s.

“It allows you to see how all the different systems are attached – how muscles attach to bones,” Khidas said.

“Everything has been left in place, unless it’s been removed to show something else.”

The exhibit hopes to educate visitors about the similarities

The cadavers of a baby camel and an adult specimen are displayed at the Animal Inside Out exhibit at the Canadian Museum of Nature. Plastination was used to preserve the animals’ bodies in a way that they can be manipulated and the skin removed so that their anatomy can be displayed. between humans and other organisms by showing the complexities of anatomy that are usually hidden.

“This is so unique because this is not how we experience the world,” said Nicole Dupuis, an exhibition content developer at the museum.

“There are so many similarities between different animals, but the exhibit also does a great job of showing the differences.”

The exhibit, which will be the show’s debut in Canada, also comparatively displays separate organs of different animals next to each other, such as hearts,

brains and lungs. Visitors will also actually the chance to get their hands on some skeletons in a science lounge in the exhibit.

“This will help you to understand how you fit inside the whole world of nature,” Khidas said.

“Hopefully people will become aware that we are all integrated into this web of organisms that make up nature.”

Body Worlds’ Animal Inside Out is set to start May 1 and run until Sept. 20. Tickets are $10 for adults and $7 for seniors and children aged three to 17.

The city has secured $300,000 in a settlement with Plasco Energy Group to decommission the waste-to-energy company’s demonstration facility on Trail Road.

The settlement was finalized on April 29, according to a memo sent by city solicitor Rick O’Connor to council.

“This will confirm that the city has now reached a settlement with Plasco and the Bank of Nova Scotia,” he said in the memo.

“The settlement agreement, signed by all three parties, was filed in court in Toronto on Wednesday, April 29, 2015, and the court approved its execution this morning.”

The $300,000 settlement will be held for six months by the city’s external legal counsel, before the city can start to dismantle the demonstration facility, which is on city land near the Trail Road landfill.

City council looked to formally cut ties with Plasco in late February after the company sought creditor protection and cut 80 employees loose.

Plasco had missed multiple deadlines to secure financing to build a new $200 million facility on Moodie Drive.

Plasco’s relationship with the city dates back to 2006, when the company leased some city land to explore its

The city has secured a $300,000 letter of credit from Plasco to dismantle its demonstration facility. innovative technology.

The city then signed a contract with Plasco in 2011, hoping Ottawa would one day take advantage of lower waste disposal rates promised by the company’s cutting-edge plasma gasification technology.

The city would have paid Plasco $82.25 per tonne of waste and $9.1 million a year to convert its garbage into electricity.

The contract did not tie any city funding to the proposed facility and required Plasco to come up with the money on its own to build it.

Plasco, however, never found the financing it needed, and the deal fell apart. The city officially cancelled its commercial contract with the company on March 3.

While the commercial agreement was over, the city was still in negotiations to get the $300,000 letter of credit released by Plasco.

The company originally had a 30 day deadline to restructure under the province’s Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act, but that deadline was extended until July 17, according to court documents.

Watson had agreed to a bet with Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre on the outcome of the Canadiens-Ottawa Senators National Hockey League playoff series. Watson agreed to don the Habs jersey if the Senators lost the first round series, and he’ll also have to send some beavertails to the Montreal mayor’s office. “I lost a bet, notwithstanding the heroic efforts of our Ottawa Senators,” Watson said. “I hope next year we can enjoy some Montreal smoked meat.”

For a decade, the Canadian War Museum has stood in Lebreton Flats, serving as part memorial and part educational institution.

The museum is now set to celebrate its 10th anniversary in its current location with a day of free admission and special activities on May 9.

“We’ve brought stories of courage, sacrifice and sorrow to Canadians, and they responded with unwavering support,” said Mark O’Neill, the museum’s president.

“I hope that many of those who’ve been moved by our exhibitions and programs will join in our 10th anniversary celebrations.”

More than five million people have poured through the museum’s exhibits since it left its old Sussex Drive location in 2005 and moved across to Lebreton Flats.

The day of celebration will feature tanks and armoured vehicles rolling along in the museum’s North Plaza in demonstrations as historians will be available for free tours and veterans will be on hand to tell war stories.

Visitors will also be able to get a rare glimpse at the museum’s vault, which contains art, uniforms and equipment.

The museum has also launched a social media campaign to extend the celebration beyond May 9. The initiative asks Canadians to share their experiences of the museum on Twitter using the hashtag #WarMuseum10, or on YouTube, using the words “My #WarMuseum 10 Story” in the title.

Multiple gun shots shattered the early morning quiet Sunday, claiming the life of a 21-year-old Riverview Park man in the small, close-knit Eastway Gardens community.

When police initially were called to the scene on Sunday, May 3 at approximately 6 a.m., they thought they would be dealing with a motor vehicle accident “just because there was a victim

tionless.

Police said Sharif was found by a passerby. When first responders arrived he was quickly whisked away in an ambulance to the trauma centre at the Ottawa Hospital’s Civic campus.

Drummond said Sharif died from his injuries in hospital.

A little more than 24 hours after major crime investigators launched the city’s third homicide investigation of 2015, police were tightlipped about the case.

Drummond, who is managing the case, would not say if detectives have any suspects or persons of interest on their radar, nor would he confirm if the shooting was gang- or drug-related.

“I can say that the victim was known to us,” Drummond said.

While he also would not comment on how many bullet casings were recovered at the

intersection, which reopened Monday morning, Matt Shillington, who lives in Eastway Gardens, where the streets are named for the letters of the alphabet, said he and his wife were roused from sleep by the staccato sound of five to eight shots going off, one after the other.

“We woke up and it was like pop, pop, pop, pop, pop,” said Shillington, who lives about 120 metres away. “And we thought maybe it was construction.”

He dozed off for a few minutes, but doubts niggled his mind that perhaps the loud, heavy-sounding bangs had been caused by something else and he got up to look out his window.

“I could see the car (the victim’s Honda Civic) from our bedroom window,” he said of the vehicle, its doors open.

‘Anybody could have been an innocent bystander’ “We could see everything, so I knew something was wrong.”

Regardless if the shooting was a targeted attack, bullets whizzing through the air pose enormous risk, whether people are passing by or behind closed doors, Shillington said.

“That’s come across my mind too a couple of times – the fly-by shots,” he said.

“Anybody could have been walking, driving, cycling,” said Kim Lamont, president of the Eastway Gardens Community Association, who has lived in the area for almost 18 years.

“My biggest thing is that anybody could have been

around. I mean, the White Horse Restaurant is there,” she said of the popular eatery on Tremblay at Belfast.

“Lots of people go there for breakfast. It’s like anybody could have been an innocent bystander.”

Eastway Gardens is the kind of place where residents keep in touch and are caring and watchful, Lamont said.

She said her neighbourhood has rarely been touched by gun violence or gang activity – the last nearby shooting was in 1999 in which five people died, including the shooter, at the OC Transpo garage on St. Laurent Boulevard.

While the victim is from another community, Lamont said the gun violence “still

do best by providing a safe place for community members to access programs, services and other supports,” said

Not long after police were called to Tremblay Road, just a four-minute drive away more officers cordoned off Sandford Fleming and Terminal avenues, where a pick-up truck had crashed.

At first, police thought the two scenes might be connected, but Drummond said the incident will likely be investigated as a traffic-related offence by east division officers or the collisions unit.

“We’re satisfied that it’s unrelated,” he said. “Initially, we held that scene and processed it until we knew more about the first scene.”

CHEO launches campaign aimed at anti-vax movement Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

A movement that had been quietly brewing for years leapt to the front page of newspapers recently following a sharp upturn in cases of preventable childhood diseases.

The anti-vaccination movement is blamed for the resurgence of once-common childhood diseases like measles and whooping cough, with pockets of disease now springing up in areas with low vaccination rates.

In response, the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario is urging parents to “Spread the facts, not infection” with a new website and an online petition for the establishment of a national immunization awareness week.

The website, spreadthefacts. ca, was developed by CHEO, and garnered the attention of federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose during a visit to the hospital on April 29.

“Vaccinations are safe and effective in protecting us from many serious diseases,” said Ambrose in a media release. “I urge

Canadians to protect themselves, their families and their communities. Get the facts about vaccination from reliable sources and get vaccinated.”

Diseases like measles not only harm children and can lead to serious, potentially fatal side effects, but it can also endanger infants who are too young to be immunized.

Normally, ‘herd immunity’ protects the most vulnerable by surrounding them with a wellimmunized population. In this scenario, any case of the disease that crops up is usually limited to one person, doesn’t spread to others, and dies out in the populace. When vaccination rates fall below a certain threshold, cases spread and an outbreak occurs, putting others in danger.

Dr. Carrol Pitters, CHEO’s chief medical officer, has worked at the hospital since the mid1980s, and never thought such a campaign would one day be required.

“I think we’re all quite disappointed, really, that we’re back here trying to encourage what we know is good and what we know

will protect children,” said Pitters.

This past winter saw a continent-wide outbreak of measles stemming from one sick child who visited Disneyland in California last December. That eventually led to 130 children becoming ill, several of whom returned home to the Montreal area before showing symptoms.

For Pitters, that outbreak was the straw that broke the camel’s back. CHEO began developing the information campaign in response to it.

“We’ve seen a couple of outbreaks, and particularly with measles, which is such a preventable disease,” said Pitters.

“To know it’s preventable, when people are suffering from this, is really quite disturbing … We’re hoping with this website, with this campaign, that giving people the right information and making them more aware will actually make a difference, and may encourage a few more people to go out and protect their kids - and protect the rest of us - by getting vaccinated or vaccinating their children.”

Blais urges council to press province for hydro customers Binding arbitration not an option: Mayor Jim Watson Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

A motion introduced by Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais calling for the city to pursue the acquisition of thousands of rural customers from Hydro One, moving them to the Hydro Ottawa rolls, was carried at a recent council meeting.

Currently, there are 45,000 Hydro One customers in Ottawa’s more rural areas paying more than those on Hydro Ottawa’s services after the issue wasn’t dealt with at amalgamation.

The discrepancy in billing can see significantly higher bills for houses located literally across the street and exactly the same size in rural parts of the city.

“It was an issue that should have been dealt with at amalgamation, yet for some reason Hydro was left off the table,” said Mayor Jim Watson at the April 29 city council meeting. “It was the wrong decision.”

It’s a complicated issue even Place d’Orléans shopping centre has wonky billing, as half the mall is served

by Hydro One, and half by Hydro Ottawa.

Blais himself experiences the Hydro One billing, as he moved partway through his last term as a councillor

within Cumberland Ward.

At the council meeting, Blais urged council to support Watson in formally requesting the province ensure Hydro Ottawa participate in the procurement process to try and buy back the 45,000 customers from Hydro One

I’m not willing to leave it to an arbitration settlement. It’s a complete unknown.

MAYOR JIM WATSON

at fair market value.

It’s a timely move, as the province has recently expressed interest in selling off parts of Hydro One. The province announced on April 16 that it would seek to “broaden ownership” through an initial public offering, gradually selling off small parcels of up to 10 per cent while retaining the largest stakehold in the utility.

“It seems to me the time is right for Hydro Ottawa to once again offer to buy those,” Blais said. “We’re not asking for special treatment – we’re asking for the opportunity to pay fair market value.”

Waston supported Blais’ motion that would see him send a letter urging Hydro One to take part in a procurement process.

“My hope is that by writ-

ing and putting pressure on the provincial government ... that this matter is resolved,” Watson said. “I think there is a tipping point in the sense that there is going to be movement on the 40 per cent sale of Hydro (One). I think now is the time to ask.”

Blais said previously it’s an urgent matter, because if Hydro One assets are sold to someone other than Hydro Ottawa, it could be nearly impossible to ever buy them back.

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

After Blais announced his intentions to bring the FILE motion forward to council, Rural home owners in areas such as West Carleton are often served by the more expena spokeswoman for Energy sive Hydro One instead of Hydro Ottawa.

Minister Bob Chiarelli said in a statement that binding arbitration would have resolved the issue, but the city IN THE MATTER OF THE refused to take part.

Student postcard contest launches for Ottawa 2017 celebrations Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Amalya Katz quickly takes a sheet of blank paper, plucks the lid from a marker and fills the page with an image of what Ottawa means to her: the Parliament Buildings.

The nine-year-old and her Grade 4 Featherston Drive Public School classmates got a head start on May 1 when they drew images of their favourite Ottawa landmarks and scenery minutes after Mayor Jim Watson, Alta Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier and Rideau-Vanier Coun.

Mathieu Fleury launched a postcard-drawing contest to mark Ottawa’s 2017 celebration year.

“And one of the ways we communicate with people, and maybe not so much now, but in the olden days, we used to have things called postcards,” Watson told the children.

Students at 245 elementary schools, 65 high schools and five alternative schools

across four school boards in Ottawa have until May 21 to design a postcard. A panel of professional artists will then choose the best from each grade – 1 through 12 – which will serve as the official Ottawa 2017 postcards to mark Canada’s 150th birthday.

“And whoever’s postcard design we choose, that student will be able to bring their whole class down to city hall and we’ll have a nice ceremony and a pizza party for the whole class,” Watson said, adding that the

is there a special place or a special scene? Who has an idea now?”

Several children raised their hands to pitch several suggestions: an Ottawa sign, Parliament Hill, the outdoor spider sculpture at the National Art Gallery and the Canada flag.

“Maybe a Stanley Cup?” one boy offered.

“I like that. Very optimistic,” Watson said, smiling.

“Because, you know, the Stanley Cup was created in Ottawa so it came from Ottawa. So that’s an excellent idea.”

Whether the drawing is of a museum in Ottawa, a favourite park, features the

children’s school, or even a picture of their family, Watson said “it’s really important we get as many entries as possible because of all the entries we get, we’re going to pick one that’s going to be the official poster of the 2017 celebration.”

Cloutier, co-chair of the Ottawa 2017 organizing committee along with Fleury, told the Featherston students, who attend school in the Alta Vista ward, that Canada’s 150th birthday year will be very exciting.

“It’s going to have concerts, it’s going to have festivals, it’s going to have parades. It’s going to cross the whole city and it’ll be for the

“What do you think of a birthday that’s going to last a whole year?” he asked, prompting giggles and grins from the young French immersion students. “Think of the cake. Would a birthday that lasts a whole year be great? It sure would.”

The postcards that are created through the contest will be available to be sent out around the world, and can serve as an invitation to celebrate Canada’s milestone year in the nation’s capital, Watson told the youngsters.

“We want to invite as many people as possible to come and visit Ottawa,” he said.

Elementary teachers to begin work action May 11 Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

Elementary teachers are expected to dial back their work mandate on Monday, May 11 after the union representing them notified the public of province-wide strike action.

The Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario notified the provincial government and Ontario Public School Boards’ Association on May 5 that teachers and occasional teachers would begin strike action on May 11. High-level talks between the union and province reached an impasse late last month, leaving the possibility of strike action a near certainty.

Unlike the public secondary school teachers, who have already begun walkouts in three Ontario school boards, the ETFO will encourage work-to-rule activities, with teachers no longer taking part in certain aspects of their job.

If it comes to pass, the strike action by 76,000 teachers will affect 817,000 Ontario elementary students.

In a news release issued on May 5, ETFO president Sam Hammond stated, “We are not going to comment on strike action details pub-

licly until we’ve had an opportunity to communicate with all our members this week …

What’s important to realize is that the government and OPSBA want to layer on more bureaucracy into the education system, and compromise the ability of teachers to do what’s best for our students.”

According to the ETFO, the bargaining process fell apart due to the province’s demands, which include the removal of class size language from collective agreements, and directions on how teachers should manage their preparation time.

The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board issued a notice on its website following the announcement, stating that elementary teachers will likely not participate in EQAO testing, professional development, and will perform limited duties in report card preparation.

“Based on the information received, parents can expect elementary schools to remain open and classes running as usual,” the board stated.

“All extended day programs will operate as regularly scheduled. The school district will provide more information about the specific services that the union is withdrawing in the coming days.”

Local theatre company to appear at national festival

Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com

Horseshoes & Hand Grenades Theatre, an OttawaVancouver company with new roots in Nepean, will stage its production Re:Union at the Magnetic North Theatre Festival in June.

Magnetic North is an annual festival which celebrates performing arts in Canada.

The festival is held in Ottawa every two years and in other Canadian cities in the alternate years. This year’s festival will take place at venues across Ottawa from June 4 to 13 and will showcase 10 productions including four by Ottawa based theatre companies.

Sean Devine is the co-artistic director of Horseshoes &

Hand Grenades who wrote and co-directs Re:Union. Devine is also a playwright-in-residence with the Great Canadian Theatre Company, based in Hintonburg. He said the strong presence of Ottawa companies in Magnetic North’s main programming this year is unprecedented. Usually shows by Ottawa companies are scheduled as part of the festival’s smaller satellite events.

“This is one of Canada’s largest theatre festivals,” he said. “And it’s rare that Ottawa companies get showcased there.”

Devine co-founded the theatre company in Vancouver in 2004 but moved to Ottawa with his wife Alexa and their three children in 2014, settling in Nepean. Alexa Devine and Ottawa actor Brad Long will co-star in Re:Union. Long is a Barrhaven resident who teaches in the performing arts department at Algonquin College.

Devine said despite being a newcomer to Ottawa and its theatre scene, his family and

“We’ve got a more active community life here already than we did in Vancouver. We couldn’t be more thrilled with it,” he said. “Just like the so-

cial experience we’ve had with our neighborhood, the local theatre community has openly welcomed Horseshoes & Hand Grenades Theatre. From what I’ve heard, we fill a void here, in that we’re an established,

professional, small theatre company.”

The cast of Re:Union will begin rehearsing on May 18, logging 42 hours each week for two weeks leading up to the festival. Devine has hired a team of 15 cast and crew members from Ottawa, Vancouver, Los Angeles and Montreal. He expects the production to cost between $65,000 and $70,000 and relies on grants from the Ontario Arts Council and fundraising campaigns, including an Indiegogo.com crowdfunding page, to cover that cost.

But it’s not for nought.

For the people behind Horseshoes & Hand Grenades and other companies participating in the festival, putting their works on display at Magnetic North represents an opportunity for exposure on the world stage. The festival draws an audience of producers and presenters from across North America and Europe who look for exceptional content to bring to their local theatre markets.

“This opportunity at Magnetic North is the best show-

case we could have imagined,” Devine said. “This festival is a launch pad for exporting Canadian theatre.”

Re:Union deals with the true story of a Quaker man in America who died after setting himself on fire to protest the Vietnam war with his baby daughter and United States Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara as witnesses. The story fictionalizes the journey of the man’s daughter 36 years later to confront McNamara about her father’s death.

“It’s a very powerful story, and the ending is quite sad,” Devine said. “Essentially, it’s a David and Goliath story about the impact that individuals can have against social injustice.”

Re:Union will run from June 5 to 9 at Academic Hall, on the University of Ottawa campus.

Tickets can be purchased at the National Arts Centre box office and through ticketmaster.ca.

Donations to cover the cost of the production can be made through the company’s crowdfunding campaign at igg.me/at/ reunion-mag-north.

UPDATE: The Canadian women’s 4x800-metre team finished in sixth place at the World Relays championship with a time of 8 minutes, 16 seconds.

Rachel Aubry has been leaving it all on the track, focusing full-time on her running for the first time ever.

The Orléans-raised sprinter, who attended Cairine Wilson Secondary School, received funding to be able to focus on her track and field career full-time.

She was able to leave her part-time physiotherapy clinic job in Guelph, which she got after she graduated from the University of Guelph two years ago, to compete full time with the Speed River New Balance Track and Field Club.

The hard work has paid off for Aubry, who was set to compete in the World Relays championships in Nassau, Bahamas, in the 4x800-metre event on May 2 and 3.

She last competed for the national team as a junior in 2009, so this is an important step in the right direction, as she has her sights set on the 2016 Olympic Games.

“Everything is kind of in preparation to try and make the 2016 Olympic team,” she said, from Flagstaff, Ariz., where she was training in advance of the World Relays. “That’s kind of everybody’s goal, so that’s my goal for the next year: to progress enough to make a stab at that Olympic team.”

Aubry would need to qualify in the 800metre individual run, which means both hitting a certain time standard (two minutes, one second) as well as being among Canada’s top three runners in the event.

She said one of the deepest competitive fields right now in Canadian track and field is the women’s 800-metre race.

Currently, she’s run a personal best time of two minutes and two seconds, only one second off the Olympic standard.

“The ultimate goal is to always get rid of that two minute barrier,” she said. “This season I’m looking to take off at least a second.”

To qualify for this summer’s Pan Am Games in Toronto, she’s already met the standard, and would have to prove she’s one of Canada’s top runners. She has until June 15 to post her fastest 800-metre time. The top two fastest Canadian women will advance.

She’ll compete alongside some of her competition for those valuable spots in the relay race. Aubry joins Canadian runners Karine Belleau-Béliveau, Rachel and Elizabeth Whelan to form the four-person relay team.

“It’s funny because we’re all friends – but on race day, we want to beat each other,” Aubry said. “For this race, it’ll be cool to be a team.”

SUBMITTED

Rachel Aubry was scheduled to compete at the World Relays championships in Nassau, Bahamas.

She said their goal as a team was to make the top three and end up on the podium.

“It’s super exciting,” she said. “This is just kind of one step along the way towards the bigger goals.”

Ottawa Lions runner Segun Makinde, who is also from Orléans, was also named to the World Relays team for the 4x100-metre relay.

Another Ottawa Lions runner, Farah Jacques, was named to the women’s 4x100 metre team.

Court ruling prompts minute of silence at council meetings Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

City council stopped its traditional pre-meeting prayer following a Supreme Court ruling last month, leaving a bit of an uncomfortable silence around the horseshoe in Andrew Haydon Hall.

Since then, it was proposed on April 29 that council start the biweekly meetings with a silent moment of reflection instead of a prayer.

The April 15 council meeting was the first meeting of Ottawa’s city council to omit the prayer.

The Supreme Court ruling addressed a battle to say a Catholic prayer before council in Saguenay, Que., but many other municipal governments have taken the decision into consideration as well.

Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson disagreed with the proposal to replace the prayer with a silent moment, and said she doesn’t like the concept of a moment of reflection because moments of silence are generally reserved for remembrance of a death or tragedy.

“At council, I don’t think we’re remembering, we’re acting,” she said.

R0013255590-0507

“I don’t like this way of dealing with it because moments of reflection are usually for remembrance.”

She said she’d like to have the chance for council to discuss how to deal with the lack of an opening prayer in the future.

“I’d like to have some discussion,” she said.

“The amendment is there just to say this is to be discussed with council and brought back (to a future meeting) is all I’m asking for.”

Council members agreed to have the issue discussed at a future date.

The fallout from a recent Supreme Court ruling is that when it comes to municipal councils, prayers are better left to the church, such as this one, just down the road on Elgin Street from Ottawa’s city hall, where there will no longer be a prayer said before city council meetings.

Local students to flex their imaginations at international competition Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

A group of six students from Béatrice-Desloges will travel to Knoxville, Tenn., to compete in the Destination Imagination competition’s global finals.

The Grade 10 students were challenged to build a structure weighing under 75 grams that can support a 4.5 kg weight.

The challenge, designed by the non-profit educational organization Destination Imagination, is called Lose to Win, as the students have to remove pieces of the structure – while keeping it intact – to see who can have the lightest, most minimal structure and still support the weight.

The students competed at a regional competition in Arnprior, where their first structure broke, and they thought their chances of advancing any further with the competition were over.

Alexandre Levesque said that he wasn’t disappointed after their structure broke, because the team handled the situation well and kept on going with their verbal presentation and worked together.

The team won the Spirit of Destination Imagination award for their efforts, and got a surprise chance to move onto the provincial competition because there weren’t many teams in their regional, French-language bracket.

When they moved onto

the provincial championship in Toronto, with an improved structure made of balsa wood, they performed well enough to win a spot in the global finals.

Team member Dominique Payer said they originally planned to stay straight-faced and serious when accepting their award, but weren’t expecting to qualify for the May competition in Tennessee.

“We were going to just stand up with straight faces,” Dominique said. “But we jumped up and were screaming. We were more excited than the little kids who qualified.”

The team ran into another roadblock however – the school didn’t have a teacher available who could make the road trip, or the available funds to send the team.

They pulled out as a team representing the high school, and changed to an independent entry with a team member’s mother as the new team captain and chaperone. Two parents will take the six students in two cars for the 15 hour drive.

The students will be gone for a week, and compete for bragging rights over other teams from all over the world.

IMPULSE DECISION

The students entered the competition somewhat blindly, with the thought it sounded like a neat idea. It was proposed to the students, all of whom are a part of the high

Dominique said the students volunteered, not really knowing what they were getting themselves into.

Five months of work later, the students have become a close knit group, that has had their squabbles but become a stronger team because of it.

“We’re a team, but we’re kind of like a family now,” Alexandre said.

A weekly guide in legal matters

An employee who leaves to work for a company’s competitor may be sued if their employer believes they’ve broken the written or unwritten terms of their employment contract. It is true that an employee’s obligations to their employer last beyond the last day of work, but that does not necessarily mean that you’ll get sued.

The ongoing written obligations of employees often relate to non-competition or non-solicitation clauses in contracts. These are essentially sections of the contract that are designed protect employers from having their departing employees take their customers or compete against them. Although many contracts include these types of clauses Ontario Courts won’t always enforce them if they are too strict.

“This initiative is another way we can reduce the threat to public safety in a secure manner and reduce crimes associated to prescription drug misuse,” acting Staff Sgt. Ian McDonell, head of the police drug section, said in a statement.

Labels on medication bottles to be dropped off can first be blacked out or removed.

Each week, a lawyer from the Kanata based Allan Snelling law firm will answer a reader’s question.

Ottawa police will be waiting out front of the Elgin Street police headquarters for you to drop off your old or unwanted medications on May 9.

said they have misused prescription medications at least once over the past year, with most of the medications found in the family home, according to Ottawa police.

Among the prescription drugs that are misused for non-medical purposes are opioid pain relievers, such as oxycodone, anti-depressants and stimulants.

An employee’s unwritten obligations are often more important than the written ones. At a minimum these unwritten rules require that a departing employee must return all property to their employer and keep anything that can’t be returned confidential. For a software company this means that beyond returning a company laptop you must ensure you don’t disclose trade secrets or customer lists to your new employer.

School project offers shelter for community gardeners Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

The work in Earl of March’s Grade 10 construction class has a new purpose thanks to a partnership with the Kanata North Community Garden.

After the garden’s first full year in 2014, at the top of the group’s wish list was a shed to store equipment, help collect rainwater and provide a shaded resting area for weary gardeners.

After one of the garden’s advisers, Val Collins, won some cash through the Wal-Mart Mom of the Year Award’s environment category, the garden had the funds for a shed.

But buying one would have been too easy, said Collins,

thinking the money could go further.

“I thought, ‘What can we do to stimulate community understanding about what we are doing in the garden?’” said Collins.

Now the $2,000 for the shed is providing a great learning opportunity, said Earl of March Secondary School tech teacher Michael Murphy.

The community garden struck up a partnership with Earl of March in January, resulting in 18 Grade 10 construction students being put on the case.

It’s not the first time the school’s tech classes have worked in the community, said Murphy, having built indoor and outdoor furniture for community spaces and other

schools. But this is definitely one of their biggest projects ever, he said.

What’s more, the project is giving the students a great reason to learn.

“The truth is that unless you give kids something real to do, they really have a hard time engaging,” said Murphy.

“So whenever we can get something that kids are going to buy into, then yeah, of course we are going to jump on board.”

The project began with a design challenge for the students, with Murphy splitting them into six teams to come up with different designs that would fit the garden’s criteria.

Each shed roof had to help to collect rain water, include a shaded rest area, be modular in its design so that it could be built in the school and then taken in pieces to the garden, and have a footprint of less than nine square metres.

The design that won included a front-sloping roof that would provide lots of shade as well as efficiently collect rainwater, said Murphy.

A community garden committee chose the winning design, and students have been busy learning the skills needed to build the shed and applying them, resulting in a fully framed structure thus far.

The project also had to adhere to environmental standards set out by the garden, said Murphy. The material for the project had to be sourced

Earl of March Secondary School students work on the Kanata North Community Garden’s shed – a project which the school took on as a learning experience for the students, and a way to do something for the community. locally, he said, with the lumber purchased from a sawmill in Perth.

Students are also being careful to keep waste to a minimum by double- and triple-checking their measurements, though mistakes are part of a build like this, said Murphy.

“In fact, I hoped for it,” he said. “(Then the students) can see that there are things

that you have to do on the fly that – even though we have a perfect plan on paper, when we go to execute in the real world, things change.”

After two weeks of work, so far so good, he said, pointing to the newly framed structure taking up most of the classroom.

“You should have heard (the students) today, they were so proud of themselves,” said

Murphy. “They finally got the last wall placed and they were all standing there going, ‘I can’t believe we built this.’”

Murphy said he hopes to have the students put together the finished shed at the community garden site along Klondike Road by May 28.

Once the structure is up, Murphy said he hopes it will be a source of pride for the students for years to come.

Former Kanata resident debuts first solo album

ottawa news on the go

COMMUNITY news .COM

Erin McCracken

When asked how long it takes to put out a debut solo album, Danielle Allard chuckles.

“Not long enough,” the Ottawa singer-songwriter said.

“But as Keith Richards says, ‘An album is done when you stop working on it.’”

The graduate of Canterbury High School’s vocal performance program is just days away from celebrating the release of her first album as a solo artist, entitled Chameleon, at The Bourbon Room in downtown Ottawa on May 9 at 7 p.m.

Her name for the nine-track EP is a perfect fit.

“The lyrics are really important to me and it’s exploring a time in my life when I was changing quite a lot,” said Allard, 25.

The songs were written during a time of growth, as her life fell apart and later, as she rebuilt herself.

“You can see that in a lot of the lyrics, so it was about being more adaptable and trying to evolve through it all and then it ended up being a very appropriate name just because of all the genres we ended up exploring,” said Allart, who lives in downtown ottawa. “Chame-

Though her new EP is a fulllength record, it started out as a smaller project.

“I was going to go into the studio and do a five-song acoustic EP live-off-the-floor, just me and my guitar,” Allard said. “But then people started

Chameleon is the product of Allard’s exploration of different music genres and she has incorporated different musical sounds and instruments – somewhat of a departure from her penchant for writing what she calls pop-format songs.

Ottawa author emerges as new voice in teen fiction Brian Dryden

SALES CENTRE HOURS

Manotick writer Holly Bodger has imagined just such a place. It is the setting of her first published novel, 5 to 1.

Bodger has been harnessing her imagination through the written word since a very early age.

She wrote her first book, a two-page novel, at age six as a young child growing up in Manotick, and has been on the career path since then that leads to the official release of 5 to 1 by major publishing house Alfred A. Knopf on May 12.

Advance copies have been getting rave reviews, including from USA Today, which said “5 to 1 is a visual and intriguing masterpiece that opens the imagination and never leaves even after the book is closed.”

“I’ve always known that I wanted to be a writer,” Bodger said during an interview at her comfortable Manotick home, where she has created a writer’s room suitable for an emerging author who is now focussed on writing for the teen fiction market.

Although Bodger, who has worked as a technical writer and now in the publishing field, has written in many forms and many styles over the years, over time she realized that her true voice as a writer of fiction appeals to young readers.

“You pour your heart into a book. You have to find a voice, and write in that voice,” she said of the many works of fiction she has written as she has evolved as a writer.

“Everyone has different tastes, everyone likes different things. If it is not rational to you, then you are not being true to yourself as a writer.”

The subject of her new novel 5 to 1, which has a unique structure written in both verse and prose from the different viewpoints of a girl and a boy who are both trapped by the expectations that fall upon them in the society in which they live, did not emerge out of thin air.

About three years ago, she read a medical article on the ethics of gender selection and its consequences on both girls, and even boys, in places such as China and India that practice forms of gender selection, either for cultural, religious or political reasons.

The world that Bodger creates in 5 to 1 not so far-fetched. It’s a complex issue that has become dear to her heart. On her personal website, hollybodger.com, besides information about her work as a writer there is also facts about gender selection and a trailer for a film called, It’s a Girl.

“Obviously, I have exaggerated it to make a point, but it is a very serious issue,” she said.

She will be featured at a book signing at an Indigo store in Barrhaven on Saturday, May 16, before heading to the United States for similar events in New York and San Francisco.

Imagine a place in the Year 2054 where gender selection has led to a ratio of boys to girls of 5 to 1.

A place where marrying off your young daughter is the norm, and mothers, rather than rebelling against the system, instead facilitate the status quo and create a process in which boys must compete to win their future mate. Imagine finding the KANATA

‘I never thought I’d be where I am right now’: artist Continued from page 43

“It was a fun time and a lot of exploration for me,” she said of recording. “I think with most of our projects we end up taking way too long to make the music, but I think it turned out pretty good in the end because of that.”

Allard sings and plays guitar, piano and ukulele for the album, and also featured are Dean Watson on bass and electric guitar, Sebastian Romanutti on piano, Jamie Holmes on drums and percussion, Ed Lister on trumpet and Justin Duhaime also plays guitar.

Crafting Chameleon was a labour of love for Allard, who was able to juggle the project while performing in residence last summer at the

runs educational programs to encourage community engagement.

To say she is thrilled with the end result is an understatement given the buzz that has been generating in advance of Saturday’s release party.

“I was not expecting it to explode and turn into this,” she said.

In fact, she’s amazed she has come this far, even though she has gravitated towards music and performing since she was just two years old.

She began playing piano at seven, and during her high school years at Canterbury, which she said turned her life around for the better, she learned guitar and fine-tuned her piano skills.

“It saved my life,” said

It was a fun time and a lot of exploration for me.

Danielle Allard, singer-songwriter

After Canterbury, she moved to Kanata while she studied communications at Carleton University.

As a member of the Go Long (!) trio, Allard recorded her first EP in 2012 – a folk album entitled, Strings Attached.

“I never thought I’d be where I am right now,” Allard said. “I don’t know if I ever thought that I’d make that first album that I did years ago, let alone what’s happening now.”

She will be performing every Thursday this summer at Live on Elgin, and will soon play the TD Ottawa Jazz Festival and its OLG After Dark Series, the Calabogie Mountain Man Music Festival and Music in the Pines, a festival near Plantagenet, Ont. Tickets to the album release party at The Bourbon Room, located at 400 Dalhousie St., are $10 in advance at danielleallard.com, or $15 at the door.

Beginning May 10, Chameleon will be available at Compact Music, and on iTunes and Spotify.

Riverside Dr. home invasion under police investigation Erin McCracken

0507.R0013261106

Police are looking to identify a male suspect they believe is responsible for a home invasion at an apartment on Riverside Drive in late March.

Upon hearing a knock at his door, the male occupant opened it and a man pushed his way inside of the unit, located in the 1500 block of Riverside Drive in the Riverview Park community on March 27 at about 7 p.m.

A scuffle broke out and the occupant, who is in his 50s, suffered minor injuries, but did not require medical treatment, according to police.

The suspect then searched the premises and snatched several items of monetary value, said Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, head of the Ottawa police robbery unit.

The suspect was in the apartment only a matter of minutes.

Haarbosch wouldn’t disclose the types of items taken in order to protect the integrity of the investigation.

Investigators are confident the incident was not a random event.

“There was a pre-existing relationship between the two parties, but not to the degree that they formally knew each other,” Haarbosch said, adding that the occupant did not know his alleged assailant enough to be able to identify him.

It wasn’t until April 29 that investigators released an image of the male suspect in the elevator taken from surveillance video filmed around the time of the robbery.

“There were some steps in the investigation that were taking place that basically led us to this point of having to go to the public with the photo,” Haarbosch said, adding that the wait, in part, was to see if police could

University of Ottawa master plan looks to spruce up campus Alex Robinson

alex.robinson@metroland.com

The University of Ottawa has plans to usher in major changes to its campus over the next 20 years to optimize its land and build green infrastructure.

University representatives presented a master plan outlining the changes to councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning committee at a meeting on April 28.

The plan will include restoring heritage buildings, building new ones and developing more green space and pedestrian-friendly infrastructure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are a major post-secondary education institution in Canada and our intention is to make it look that way over the next 20 years,â&#x20AC;? said George Dark, of Urban Strategies, who is working with the university on the plan.

More than 80 per cent of the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 50,800 students, staff and teachers already do not use a car to the get to the university.

The school expects to boost

that percentage higher, with the expansion of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s LRT system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By virtue of having this system developed all across the city is the university can also decant itself over the city,â&#x20AC;? Dark said.

One of the proposed pieces of green infrastructure will be converting a parking lot near one of its social science buildings into an open green space for pedestrians. Trees will be planted along King Edward Avenue, which the university hopes to better integrate into its campus by redeveloping property and installing a park along it.

The University of Ottawa is also looking to build more bike and pedestrian friendly pathways along the Rideau River, in the southern part of its campus.

The vision fits within the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current official plan and zoning bylaws, meaning any part of it would only require a site plan approval to move ahead.

Dark said the university has few plans to expand further

into Sandy Hill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The aspirations to continue to build in Sandy Hill are almost non-existent with the exception along Henderson,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder, who serves as the planning committee chairwoman, heralded the plan to build an open green square, where a parking lot currently is. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing with your parking lot x is very much what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing in Stockholm, Denver, Arlington and Seattle and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to see it happening here,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a benefit.â&#x20AC;?

Councillors also asked about the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans for housing.

University officials said they expect to bring 1,000 new residence spaces online by the end of the summer with the construction of new buildings and the conversion of a hotel on King Edward Avenue.

The university has worked on the master plan for more than two years, holding a number of public consultations to develop it with residents, students and staff.

Submitted

The University of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s master plan sets out how the school would like to grow and develop over the next 20 years. University representatives presented their plan to the city councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning committee at a meeting on April 28.

Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kindness Club helps send kids to camp Student volunteers raise funds for Christie Lake Kids through clothing sale Megan DeLaire

mdelaire@metroland.com

A group of student volunteers at Leslie Park Public School known as the Kindness Club raised hundreds of dollars for Christie Lake Kids through a used clothing sale on April 22 and 23.

The clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth annual Gently Used Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Clothing Sale raised $465 for Christie Lake Kids, selling items for between $1 and $3 each. Christie Lake Kids is a charitable organization that provides recreation and skill building programming at no cost to youth from lowincome families. Funds from the clothing sale will support the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s week-long Christie Lake Camp trip.

Out of a student body of

120, 25 students are members of the Kindness Club.

Those students filled a large area of the school gymnasium with clothing for the sale over a two-week period in April, donating their own clothes and collecting donations from the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff and students.

Club members, ranging in age from six to 12 years old, sorted the clothing, advertised and organized the sale and sold the clothes with the help of adult volunteers.

Anne Lavoie teaches Grade 1 at the school and founded the club in 2012.

The group meets once a week during the school year to plan charitable volunteer activities on local and international scales. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for the kids to get some perspective on the fact that they maybe have a lot more than other people do and that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for them to help others in any way they can,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of them are six

Last Christmas, the Kindness Club organized a garage R0013258971

sale to raise funds for Free the Children. That event also raised about $450, which Lavoie said was typical of the Kindness Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual garage and clothing sales.

According to Lavoie, many

of the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s members return each year that they attend the school.

Shayan Saddiq, 11, has been a member of the club for at least two years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do this so we can raise

money for different charities and different areas that need food or water,â&#x20AC;? Shayan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It helps kids that need other things that we have. And we need to be glad that we have these things.

Evelyn MacIver, 9, is a newer member who joined the club this year after she gained some perspective living in South Asia for three years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like to do it because I lived in Bangladesh last year and I saw so many people that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have money, clothes, food or water,â&#x20AC;? Evelyn said.

Lavoie said that although she founded the club and oversees its projects, the students are the main source of its initiative. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They all work hard. I mean, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a lively bunch and they get the jobs done.

And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all their ideas too,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every year we get together in September and they say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This is what we want to do.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; They are enterprising, and all for the right reasons.â&#x20AC;?

Mind

Did you know that more deaths are caused by being inactive than obesity? The Health Institute of Canada recommends getting at least 150 minutes of activity every week. Think about that, every week has 10,080 minutes, so after completing your 150 minutes of exercise that still leaves you with 9,930 minutes to eat, sleep, work, and do your hobbies! That’s only 1.5% of your week. Try breaking it up into three 50 minute workouts, or five 30 minute workouts People who are inactive are more likely to see their bodies lose strength, stamina, overall mobility than those who are active. Active people are shown to live 8 good years longer than those who are not. Do find the time and in the end you’ll have much more it!

seniors

Connected to your community

May 24 was the gateway to summer activities and traditions

I

t was especially warm that April. The snow had long since gone, and the days were warm enough that the roads were no longer muddy ruts, and we could even see spring buds coming out on the trees.

Our winter clothes, including our despised long underwear, had been packed away, and we could smell the mothballs Mother had generously scattered into the trunk in the upstairs hall where our wool sweaters and other heavy clothing would sit out the hot summer months.

The creek at the bottom of the West Hill had receded, and the Bonnechere River had settled into a gentle current cutting through the lower reaches of our farm. Spring was warm enough to be called summer, and that was all it took for my three brothers to decide it was now time to go swimming in the Bonnechere, even though the month of May had yet to begin.

Of course, Mother put the kibosh on that idea. There would be no swimming until the 24th of May, and that’s all there was to it. My brother Emerson said if they waited

MARY COOK Memories that long, the summer would be half over at the rate we were going.

Emerson went outside to the big thermometer that was nailed to the house with “Supertest” in bright yellow letters on top. “It’s 75 degrees,” Emerson wailed. “I don’t care if it says 100! There will be no swimming until the 24th of May,” Mother said, slamming the screen door shut with a bang.

Father came from the barn to get a cold glass of water, using his battered straw hat as a fan. He took his red polka-dot handkerchief out of his back overall pocket, and wiped his face, sending streaks of dust from the hayloft down his face.

“Sure is hot in the barn,” he said.

Emerson was joined by my brothers Everett and Earl in a plea for a dip in the Bonnechere. Well,

they could have saved their breath.

There would be no swimming until the 24th of May, and that’s all there was to it.

Emerson wanted to know what was so important about the 24th of May. He reminded Mother that was almost a month away, and by that time, at the rate we were going, with the heat and all, the Bonnechere could easily be nothing more than a trickle, and the summer would be half over, and that would be the end of swimming.

My older and much wiser sister Audrey and I headed for the swing in the grape arbour. The leaves were yet to come out, but the vines were thick enough that the sun had yet to penetrate.

I thought, since I seldom had Audrey all to myself, that this would be a good time to ask her what was so important about the 24th of May. “Well,” Audrey said leaning back in the old wood swing, “Mother says a lot of things should wait until the 24th of May, and a lot of things change on that day too.”

I waited for Audrey to speak. She looked like she was falling asleep.

I was sitting across from her, and I nudged her with the toe of my shoe.

“I’m thinking. I’m thinking,” she said.

And then she rhymed off a few things, which made little sense to me, but obviously were important to Mother.

“Well, you will see that Mother never wears a summer hat to church until the 24th of May. She said in New York any woman caught wearing a summer hat before the 24th of May would be considered a woman of poor taste.” Audrey took a long breath. “And you certainly wouldn’t wear white gloves before then for the same reason. And that same goes for summer shoes too.”

I was mulling over this bit of news in my mind’s eye. For the life of me I couldn’t understand why a date on a calendar was so important.

And then Audrey reminded me of the many little flat wood boxes of sprouted seeds in the kitchen waiting to be put into the garden. “Never, ever, has Mother transplanted those boxes until after the 24th of May. You’re too

young to remember, but one year she planted every last box, and two days later, the frost came, and killed every last one of the plants.”

I had no idea what plants getting hit with frost, wearing a summer hat and white gloves and summer shoes, and swimming in the Bonnechere all had to do with the 24th of May. Audrey started to doze off in the swing. I mulled over all she had said, and I figured, next to Easter and Christmas, the 24th of May must surely be one of the most important days of the year.

I couldn’t wait for that date to roll around, and I decided right then and there, I would write in my diary all that had happened on that date so that years down the road, I would remember what an important day it was when I was very young.

Ottawa Comiccon rolls out new parking, traffic strategy Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

With more than 43,000 people expected to attend the three-day Ottawa Comiccon at the EY Centre this weekend, organizers are hoping new traffic and parking initiatives will make getting to the event less of an event.

“The day in question that had us concerned was the Saturday of the show last year where traffic reached a level we had not seen before,” said Scott Péron, vice-president of operations for Ottawa Comiccon. “It basically caused a 45-minute delay for people coming down the Airport Parkway trying to get to the airport.”

There was a shorter delay for motorists on Hunt Club Road and Uplands Drive.

“It certainly affected our attendees and, to a certain extent, it also affected our own operations because we were having trouble getting our guests to the building as well,” Péron said.

He and his team held initial talks with the EY Centre, city staff and Ottawa police in January to begin developing a strategy. OC Transpo became involved later in the process.

Last week, convention organizers

rolled out their plans for an increase in parking lot attendants, as well as more police officers who will help ensure people get to where they are headed, whether it’s to Comiccon or the Ottawa International Airport, among other destinations.

TAKE THE BUS

Comiccon fans are encouraged to skip the car and take the bus, particularly routes 147 and 99, which go directly to the EY Centre from the Greenboro Transitway station, where parking is free.

A press release on the transportation options reminds transit users that the 87 bus runs every 20 minutes, the 99 every half hour and the 147 every hour. OC Transpo is planning to bump up the number of buses and increase frequency in the area the weekend of the convention, Péron confirmed, adding that more buses may be added depending on the volume of traffic.

The 147 bus will be key for convention-goers and, more importantly, the 99 bus, which stops at the EY Centre, Péron said.

See INCREASED, page

ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND

Ottawa Comiccon organizers recently announced several new initiatives aimed to ease parking and traffic flow during the three-day event at the EY Centre, May 8 to 10.

Increased police presence to keep traffic moving Continued from page 65

The best option, he said, is the 97 bus, which runs every five minutes during peak times and stops at Uplands Drive off the Airport Parkway on the way to the airport.

Those riders will have to walk across the parking lot at the EY Centre.

There won’t be a free shuttle bus to the event this year.

“It’s something we hope to work towards one day,” Péron said. “We’re not quite there yet though.”

66 Kanata Kourier-Standard - Thursday, May 7, 2015

There will be an increased police presence around the EY Centre this weekend to ensure traffic keeps moving.

Three officers will be directing vehicles on Hunt Club Road and Uplands Drive, and officers will be stationed at each entrance to the EY Centre parking lot and another will be at Uplands Drive and Breadner

Boulevard.

Another officer will be patrolling on motorcycle to assess the traffic situation.

And more digital signs will be added on Hunt Club Road and the Airport Parkway to direct motorists to use the parkway if they wish to get to the airport, or to use Uplands Drive if they are travelling to the EY Centre.

PARKING OPTIONS

Motorists heading to Comiccon on Uplands Drive will be directed to park at the overflow parking lot at the former CFB Uplands – that lot will have two entrances this year – while drivers coming from the parkway to the convention will be directed to use the EY Centre parking lot.

EY Centre management plans to double the number of parking staff at the centre and payment takers at the overflow lot at the base.

The cost to park at both lots

will again be $8 per day and cash is preferred.

Parking at the centre is somewhat limited because Comiccon has grown so much that part of the lot is earmarked for lines of waiting fans “because Ottawa fans are quite enthusiastic and turn out in great numbers even before the doors open,” Péron said.

“We’ve had somebody turn up as early as 4 o’clock in the morning to get in line.”

Attendees must also wait outside beneath tent canopies before being allowed in to see a star during one of the panel discussions in the large hall, which can hold up to 2,000 people.

“The wrinkle here is that we have to be able to house that lineup of 2,000 people before that panel starts,” Péron said, adding that if people lined up inside the centre, it would mean losing too much space.

The tropical greenhouse on the grounds of the Dominion Arboretum will reopen on May 10. The heritage greenhouse, which houses over 500 varieties of plants, has undergone an extensive renovation using traditional building materials and techniques.

Tropical greenhouse to reopen at Arboretum Reopening coincides with Mother’s Day, plant sale Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

A little taste of the tropics is returning to the centre of Ottawa.

After nearly five years of renovations and a delayed reopening, the tropical green-

house in the Dominion Arboretum will reopen to the public on May 10.

Housing more than 500 varieties of tropical plants, the heritage greenhouse is one of the few indoor jewels of the sprawling Central Experimental Farm. Unlike other instal-

lations devoted to agriculture, the tropical greenhouse provided an oasis from the often harsh conditions outside, and a tourist attraction for when the arboretum’s public gardens are buried under snow.

Greenhouses have been restored to past specs Continued from page 67

“It’s a huge plus,” said Denise Kennedy, a volunteer gardener with Friends of the Central Experimental Farm. “(We’re) constantly getting calls asking us when the greenhouse will open.”

The farm falls under the stewardship of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, though the Friends have taken upon themselves to promote and preserve the natural beauty of the farm.

An extensive restoration of the greenhouse was required due to the prolonged heat and humidity housed within the structure. The restoration process followed strict guidelines based on original materials and tech-

nologies to ensure the historic structure remained true to its original intent.

In February, the tropical greenhouse received an Architectural Conservation Award from the City of Ottawa.

The reopening is timed to coincide with Mother’s Day, which is also the day the Friends hold their popular annual rare and exotic plant sale.

That sale, held May 10 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., will draw 25 growers from across eastern Ontario and western Quebec, as well as many returning customers.

“We put an invite out to all kinds of nurseries and specialty growers,” said Kennedy. “This year we will

have four garden accessory vendors as well.”

Held in the parking lot adjacent to the Neatby Building at the corner of Carling Avenue and Maple Lane, the sale draws from the urban neighbourhoods surrounding it – areas normally far away from the closest nurseries.

“We have a lot of the same people who keep coming back,” said Kennedy.

“The growers talk to those who come to the sale and answer questions, and many come back due to that one-on-one with the growers.”

Information on the sale and the activities and attractions of the experimental farm can be found by visiting friendsofthefarm.ca.

9 o T p U e v a S The Kanata Kourier-Standard published a series of articles on my business. Now everyone knows how great we are!

Ottawa, ON (April 27, 2015) – OSU is very pleased to announce that Ndzemdzela Langwa (’98) and Theo Bair (’99) have been offered positions within the Vancouver Whitecaps Residency program after successful trials in Vancouver this week.

For Theo, this represents an opportunity for him to further his development within the professional ranks after spending time with numerous local clubs. Bair was able to attend the Combine for one of the two days, which was enough to impress Whitecaps Residency Technical Director, Craig Dalrymple. Bair has played in the OYSL for the last two seasons and consistently been one of the top goal scorers at the provincial level. In moving to Vancouver, this represents an opportunity for him to continue to develop and test himself within the USSF Academy league.

For Ndzemdzela “Zoom” Langwa, this move is another opportunity in his fledgling career. He has previously been part of the Toronto FC Academy while also representing our country with the Canadian U16 National team. Langwa was a key contributor with the OSU 1997 Force Academy team, that now has four members within professional clubs. “Zoom” will now have the opportunity to again join forces with former Academy Graduates Vana Markarian and Dario Conte within the Whitecaps organization.

When reflecting on the recent event, Craig Dalrypmle noted that “the level, and depth, of soccer potential in Ottawa is impressive.

The combine provided an opportunity for Whitecaps FC to gain much needed exposure to this player pool. We were extremely impressed with how well the combine was conducted and are very pleased with players we were able to identify.”

In addition to Langwa and Bair, several other players from the Talent ID Combine were identified and have been added to their club database for monitoring. Additional players are also in discussion with the Whitecaps for potential upcoming trials.

“The Whitecaps Combine event has been a great success and showed the level of talent within the city of Ottawa. It was extremely satisfying to see the level of co-operation across the city which allowed many players the opportunity to put themselves in the shop window and achieve such positive outcomes,” OSU Technical Director Paul Harris commented.

Following on the success of this first Talent ID Combine, it is believed that it will now become an inaugural event for players in Ottawa.

And, on Saturday, June 6th, the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation is sparking a lemonade stand movement and hosting the 3rd annual Cardel Homes Great Canadian Lemonade Standemonium presented by Palladium Insurance.

Sarah Bickford and her three kids - Olivia, 11; Gwen, 9 and Elliot, 5 – they have already begun to recruit their team members for the Lemon Bursts stand. This year they are going bigger than ever, enlisting the help of 12 families and involving more than 27 kids. They will all be volunteering at multiple stands in their Nepean neighbourhood and out front of Fresco’s on Elgin Street.

“I know how hard the struggle with cancer is,” explains Sarah, who was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma in 2007 when her youngest child was just 18 months old at the time. “As a family we wanted to do something to give back – and this is something that we could all do together.

It’s really great and the kids love it, and the response they we get is so incredible. People are so generous.”

GREAT PRIZES TO BE WON! PROCEEDS BENEFIT

Thank you to our generous sponsors

Over the last two years of the campaign, more than 600 kids have hosted hundreds of stands and helped to raise close to $120,000 in support of the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation.

Team Ronick/Team Kang has been one of the top fundraising stands each year, led by 10-year-old Ronick Kang his little sister Maeya.

They host their stand in honour of their grandma, Balwinder, who was diagnosed with cancer two years ago.

“I was really sad and I wanted to help her,” explains Ronick. “I found out about the campaign online and it just grew from there.”

Ronick says the key to his success is finding the right stand location – one with a lot of foot traffic. This year their stand will once again be located close to the Starbucks, near the corner of Terry Fox Drive.

Ronick and Maeya have ambitious plans for their stand – and have already got their parents and aunts on board the project.

“We are going to paint homemade signs, have music at our stand and bake chocolate chip cookies to sell too!”
