O’Connor won’t seek re-election ‘He’s decided it’s time’: constituency manager Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

News – Carleton-Mississippi Mills MP Gordon O’Connor will not run in the next federal election, according to his constituency office. Constituency manager John Aris confirmed rumours that have been circulating
for months that O’Connor, member of parliament for Carleton-Mississippi Mills since 2004, will step aside ahead of the 2015 federal election. “He’s decided it’s time,” said Aris. “It’s nothing to do with anything else except that he’s decided it’s time.” O’Connor, 75, was out of town and unavailable for comment before the Kourier-
Standard went to press. The Hill Times and the Ottawa Citizen among several area media outlets have been speculating this week that Conservative Sen. Vern White, Ade Olumide, founder of the Ottawa Taxpayer Advocacy Group, Ted Hurley, chair of the Ottawa Catholic school board and Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley would vie for the nomination should O’Connor step aside. See ‘I’M HOPING,’ page 2

Soldier On Steve Desroches, councillor for Gloucester South Nepean, right, and Mayor Jim Watson with Maj.

The relay made its way from Trenton, Ont., to Ottawa over four days and included individuals who were injured in Afghanistan.
‘I’m hoping we can convince him to run again:’ Hubley Continued from page 1
Aris said he couldn’t speak to the speculation circulating in the media, other than to say the riding association will begin the process of selecting a candidate when it is ready. Hubley said he’s not convinced O’Connor will step down as MP. “I’m one of those people around him convincing him that he could go again,” said Hubley. “He has his health
TAKE THE TIME TO EXPERIENCE MONDEAU
and is sharp as a tack and brings a lot to the table, so I’m hoping we can convince him to run again.” Hubley, who has announced he will run for re-election as councillor of Kanata South in 2014, refused to speculate on his own possible candidacy in Carleton-Mississippi Mills, which because of a redistribution of electoral ridings will be renamed KanataCarleton for the 2015 federal election.
O’Connor served as a cabinet minister from 2006 until his demotion in July 2013. The retired brigadier-general went from defence critic to defence minister when Stephen Harper’s Conservatives took power eight years ago. O’Connor was shuffled from the Ministry of Defence to the Ministry of National Revenue in 2007. He has been out of cabinet since 2008. With files from Blair Edwards

Voter information available at returning offices, on Internet john.carter@metroland.com
News – Carleton-Mississippi Mills returning officer Edward Wilson has opened up a returning office in the riding to serve its 112,100 registered voters and ensure the voters list is up-to-date for the June 12 provincial election. The riding, which includes West Carleton, Kanata and the Mississippi Mills end of Lanark County, is the sixth most populous in the province and second biggest in the Ottawa area behind Nepean Carleton. This will likely be the last election for the riding in its current configuration, as a redistribution recommends a new Kanata-Carleton riding with Mississippi Mills being hived off to join the Lanark riding. The Carleton-Mississippi
Mills returning office is located in the Kanata Research Park at 340 Leggett Dr. in Unit 140. New voters who will have turned 18 by election day and newcomers to the riding can drop by the office between 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. to register to vote. What they need is good identification documents, such as a driver’s licence or health card, proving they live locally. Voters who will be away from the riding on election day or during the advance poll period can vote by special ballot between May 15 and June 11 from 10 a.m to 8 p.m. (noon to 5 p.m. Sundays) at the returning offices. Assistive voting technology is available at each returning office. There will be six days of advance polls (10 a.m. to 8

p.m.) from May 31 to June 6 in several locations around the riding. Voter cards will be sent out in late May informing citizens where they should vote on June 12, when the polls will be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. The candidate nomination process officially opened last Thursday and runs until today (May 22) at 2 p.m., the last chance for candidates to file. As of press time Tuesday, there were four candidates registered in the riding: Progressive Conservative Jack MacLaren, NDP’s John Hansen, Liberal Rosalyn Stevens and the Green Party’s Andrew West. For more information or to see if there are any temporary election jobs, visit the http://wemakevotingeasy.ca, or call the local returning office at 1-866-291-7968.

The club, located at 1620 Sixth Line Rd., hosted an open house on May 3, signalling the start of the sailing season in the upcoming weeks for its 120 members and the community. The club is experiencing a rise in popularity, as participation in the club seems to remain tied to the economy, said the club’s commodore, Mike Thompson. The idea that sailing is a sport for the rich is still around, said Thompson, and it often poses a problem for the club to attract more members. “If you ever mention that you own a boat, instantly a 60foot yacht pops into people’s mind where you are drinking champagne and eating Grey Poupon on the deck,” said Thompson.“You know, that’s just not what’s going on.” One of the club’s main goals in its more than 30 years in existence has been to remain affordable, said Thompson. Yearly rates for membership run from $110 for a shore-only individual membership to $485 for a family membership. “It’s less expensive to sail in Kanata than it would be to cross country ski for the winter,” he said.

It sure beats the snow
A
fter a long, cold winter, there’s nothing the people of this city would enjoy more than a heatwave. For what felt like an eternity, Ottawa, and much of the rest of North America for that matter, sat trapped in a semi-glacial state. Nearly all of the Great Lakes froze over. There was snow on the ground almost everywhere in the United States at one point. We’ve had heavy snowfalls in the past – who can forget the winter of 2007-08 when more than 400 centimetres of fluffy white stuff fell on the city – but it was the combination of snow and bonechilling cold that made the winter of 2013-14 among the most unbearable in recent memory. The depressing thing is things aren’t going to get much better any time soon. Unfortunately we’re looking at a wet spring and some long-range forecasts suggest a cooler-than-average summer. The spring thaw and rains that pumped up local rivers and streams have passed with minimal flooding, but it seems like the showers will never stop. Such is late spring in Ottawa. It’s not all bad news though. Rain may be a pain, but it’s a necessary part of the year for everything we get to harvest this summer and fall. Even if you’re not a farmer or growing backyard veggies,
surely we can all agree rain is better than snow. And better that we get the daily showers out of the way before the outdoor festival season gets underway across our city. Events like Ottawa Bluesfest, the Jazz Festival, Folkfest, Canada Day, Race Day and upcoming football and soccer games at Lansdowne Park are much more enjoyable on bright sunny days and warm evenings than when it’s overcast and damp. Yet the rain will be great for those who got out over the Victoria Day weekend to fill their gardens full of annuals, perennials and vegetables. Better yet, if the heat is toned down a little bit, the lack of scorching heat will only benefit most of those plants and save gardeners from going through litres upon litres of water on a daily basis just to keep the flowers perky and crops alive. This goes for local farmers, too, who bring their bounty to the tables at farmers markets across the city. Just the right amount of rain and warmth, but not oppressively hot, days will help them make the most of their efforts. Weather is an obsession with we Canadians, and it never seems to be perfect for anyone. But it always helps to take a wider look at these trends and see the good in what would otherwise be a dreary spring.

Bring back the guy with the cigar
A
s we find out every day, the Internet giveth and the Internet taketh away. The incredible convenience of doing things online is matched by the incredible inconvenience caused by what others do online. And this doesn’t even count what spending all your time online does to your waistline. The latest event to bring this to our attention is a minor crisis at Centrepointe Theatre where some ticket buyers wound up paying inflated prices to a ticket reseller. The theatre will honour the tickets, even though they were purchased from an unauthorized outlet. In all likelihood the buyers didn’t know the outlet was unauthorized, since all ticket resellers look quite respectable, even official, when they show up in a Google search. According to a Centrepointe official quoted in the Ottawa Citizen, about 50 per cent of the theatre’s tickets are sold online. What happens then is unclear. Do ticket resellers jump in and snap up tickets and sell them for more than they are worth? Or do individual buyers, because they can’t attend, perhaps because they want to make a little extra cash, offer up their seats through ticket resellers? Whichever it is, the results aren’t all good.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town While some laud the reselling system for making it possible for people to attend events for which tickets are scarce, others blame the system itself for creating the scarcity of tickets. And there is the further problem of phony tickets. The immediate impulse of many people is to demand that government do something to stop this. The problem is that governments already have. Across Canada, including Ontario, governments have put in place rules to prevent reselling at more than face value. But, of course, resellers operating out of the U.S., which was the case in the Centrepointe incident, don’t worry about Ontario law. And the laws don’t seem to have put an end to the ticket reselling business, which carries on. Just do a search on tickets for any

upcoming event in Ottawa and see what pops up. Despite a law against selling at inflated value, there must still be money in the reselling biz. Is this a problem? Depends on how you look at it. There are two issues: one is price, the other is availability. Provincial laws deal mainly with the first. The second is tougher. Those who remember the pre-computer days, remember lining up at 5 a.m. or trying desperately to get through on the phone to the box office on the day tickets to a big event went on sale. In the early computer days, the wait was to connect online to the box office the instant the box office opened. That still happens, but it appears in some instances that the resellers somehow get there first, snapping up tickets and frustrating the public. A lot of people just learn to live with this. They trudge off, electronically, to the reseller and get their tickets. Those that don’t know their way around have to do without, as do those who have an aversion to what they think of as computerized scalping. Some of them would sooner pay the extra dollars to the old-time scalper, the guy with the cigar whispering outside the arena. At least he seems like a small businessman.

For the moment, it appears that government isn’t the answer. Is the answer to ask large entertainment venues not to sell online? Imagine how that would go over. Even for older generations, using online to purchase tickets has become a habit. Could tickets be made non-transferable? Combining tickets with I.D. has been tried in various places. But what about the person who has genuine reasons for not being able to attend and needs to get rid of his ticket? Fixing this isn’t going to be easy. And it’s small consolation to know that, in some respects, we have ourselves to blame.

Just hold your nose and vote on June 12 BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse
O
ntario votes on June 12. In case you’ve been living under a rock or actively searching for this information, say, among your politically apathetic Facebook friends, I’m providing here, right out in front: June 12 is the day we, Ontarians, get to vote. I’ve rarely been an apathetic voter. People have fought and died for my right to vote and I take the exercise more seriously than regular trips to the dentist. (In fact, I’m so serious about it that I’m rescheduling my dentist appointment, currently booked for June 12, so I can get to the polls). But this election leaves most of us little to get excited about. It’s unlikely to turn out very well for Ontarians, no matter who wins. It’s the Liberals’ election to lose, of course. The party has been in power in the province for 11 years. Before the elec-
tion was called by Lt.-Gov. David Onley on May 2, more than three-quarters of Ontarians determined it was time for a new party to lead. Various polls suggest a few weeks of campaigning have not changed Ontarians’ minds on this. To combat this apathy, the Liberals have made a number of significant campaign declarations, including rainbowcoloured unicorns for all union members and Rainbow Looms for every school child in the province. I’m joking, of course, but it does seem the Liberals plan to win this election as they’ve won past elections, by promising everything to everyone and pleasing no one in the end. It’s not a strategy that’s likely to work for them this time, however. The Liberals face an uphill battle if they want to maintain the support of more than one third of vot-
ers for another win. They’ve made a lot of enemies out of traditional party loyalists. Who can forget former premier Dalton McGuinty’s showdown with public school teachers two years ago? Since Kathleen Wynne took over last year, she’s been chipping away at potential support from Bay Street. Many had anticipated she may put the brakes on her predecessor’s big spending, but she’s done the opposite. Ontario has a deficit of more than $11 billion, and according to Finance Minister Charles Sousa just prior to the campaign, diminishing the deficit is not at the top of the priority list right now. Most recently, the introduction of the Ontario College of Trades has triggered an outcry from building contractors, hairdressers and many small business owners who employ certified tradespeople. They see the college as a cash-grab, a hidden “tax� by the Liberal

Club strikes new partnership with Girl Guides instructors in place, and we would probably have to have a bigger fleet,” he said. The club is starting a new partnership with the Girl Guides of Canada, offering the same program it offers to the YMCA, called Can Sail 1. “Basically the program is about getting comfortable with the boat, learning how to rig it, getting out on the water, not being afraid if a little bit of water goes over the side and getting it to go where you want to go, but mostly it’s just about having a great time,” said Thompson.

For the past four years, the club has partnered with the YMCA, offering day camps in July and August for kids between the ages of 10 and 13. The program began as a twoweek endeavour, but has now grown to four weeks, with 60 spots for youth sailors. Thompson hopes to expand the program still further, to run throughout all of July and August. It currently costs $250 per child. “We would have to have more

But the club is also considering offering the more advanced Can Sail 2 program for teens and preteens, and hopes to gauge the public’s interest. “That’s targeted towards actually making you a competent sailor where you can actually go out in a boat by yourself, be the skipper, and have a great day on the water,” said Thompson. Thompson said he hopes to offer that program to youths who have already gone through the Can Sail 1 course and want to continue. “We definitely want to probe

Rein in government spending: Brynna against Wynne’s budget in early May. Unfortunately, she’s not likely to make any headway in Ontario’s two-horse race.

New infill rules aimed at killing front-yard parking Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - A new bylaw aimed at making infill more compatible with neighbouring homes will have exactly the opposite effect in some urban neighbourhoods – and that’s the point, say city planners. After working for more than four years on a plan to better integrate new low-rise housing into older neighbourhoods, city council has signed off on a tool that will require people who want to build or alter homes in the inner-urban wards to fill out a “streetscape character analysis” describing the characteristics of trees, greenery, front doors and other attributes that give that street its unique feel. The goal is to maintain that character, while allowing neighbourhoods to evolve and hopefully house more residents – the goal of the city’s intensification policy. But in neighbourhoods riddled with paved-over front lawns and illegal front-yard parking, the streetscape analysis will work to change the character of the neighbourhood over time. That’s because the city
doesn’t want front-yard parking in urban areas any more. “It creates all kinds of problems with snow storage, the on-street parking supply and the amount of vegetation,” said Alain Miguelez, the city’s program manager of zoning and intensification. “We don’t condone front-yard parking. We don’t want it anymore.” Miguelez said there is a misconception that parking is “free.” “It’s not free. There is a cost to the neighbourhood if you take out a tree. There is a cost to the neighbourhood if you’re creating curb cuts and reducing the number of on-street parking spaces,” he said, noting that driveways reduce the number of on-street parking spaces that all residents and visitors could use. “If you live downtown there are certain trade-offs that have to be made.” The new infill streetscape character analysis process will make those trade-offs more acute as it forces people to find space to park their vehicle in their backyards or in a laneway, depending on the lot size – but not in the front yard. To make it happen, the
Laura Mueller/Metroland
The city’s new ‘streetscape character analysis’ process will help preserve the character of streets in inner-urban neighbourhoods – except where there is illegal front-yard parking, which the city wants to get rid of. city eliminated the requirement to provide parking for dwellings containing fewer than 12 units. “It’s kind of a restorative wave that will happen on those streets over time, with
infill,” Miguelez said. “We want to repair the damage that’s been done, in a way. If a new infill has to respect the landscaping front and they decide to do landscaping and plant a brand new
tree, that’s an improvement on the street.” That could prove to be problematic for people who want to live in Centretown, many of whom look for at least one parking space when
buying a home, said Judy Forrest, co-chairwoman of the Centretown Citizens Community Association’s planning committee. See CITY, page 16

City to avoid front yard parking â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;witch huntâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;: city manager Continued from page 14

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think some people would be very upset if they had to give up their front yard parking,â&#x20AC;? Forrest said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it would probably be a factor if somebody is looking at buying a property... unless someone doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t own a car or wants to use a Virtucar.â&#x20AC;? The city wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actively crack down on illegal frontyard parking, Miguelez said, but the streetscape character analysis wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow those parking spaces to be recognized or maintained if changes are made to lots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;legally established,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll just consider it as hard landscaping, which is a way of avoiding a witch hunt,â&#x20AC;? Miguelez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are no front-yard parking police that are going to go and hunt you down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people who have installed front-yard parking know who they are. They know theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not supposed to and they know that if they try to sell their house at any
given time, the lawyer for the purchaser can ask for a status and the city will say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not legal,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and they will have to remove it,â&#x20AC;? he said. The community association hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t issued a firm position on the issues of frontyard parking because the group hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gone out to ask a broader swath of residents how they feel about it, Forrest said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think historically the community association has not been supportive of front yard parking, but we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gone out recently to (do) a broad public discussion on that issue,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ideally, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see less front yard parking. But we need to have solutions, so what is the solution?â&#x20AC;? The Centretown community association has long asked for parking studies for the area and the need for parking studies was highlighted in the community design plan city council approved last year, Forrest said. She said people in Cen-
tretown have concerns about convenience and the safety issues with parking vehicles on the street, where they are exposed to more risk of damage. The city is undertaking a study of its on-street parking program, Miguelez said. The on-street parking permit program was created around 1980 as a response and solution to the proliferation of illegal front-yard parking, Miguelez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to work with the public works (department) on seeing whether that program can be changed, improved, made more flexible or better performing,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still in the midst of that.â&#x20AC;? Miguelez said on-street parking permits are very much needed downtown and the city is looking at â&#x20AC;&#x153;strengtheningâ&#x20AC;? the program. The city also wants to encourage on-street parking because it acts as traffic calming by narrowing the road and slowing down motorists, Miguelez said.

es that draw air through a filter and electronic devices that use different types of fields to purify the air. Whatever option you choose, proper installation and maintenance is critical so consult a licensed contractor. • Get rid of dust: Dust gets everywhere. It can even get into your home’s air ducts or your furnace’s filter. A clogged filter makes your furnace work harder, and can become a breeding ground for bacteria. If you clean your vents and your ducts, there will be less dust in the air, less work for your HVAC system, and more money in your pocket. You might be able to change the filter yourself and you should do so on a regular basis. Cleaning ducts, on the other hand, takes specialized knowledge, as does mainte-
nance of electronic air cleaners, so engage a reputable contractor. • Get the latest and greatest: If you’ve got an older house, the heating and cooling system may be less energy-efficient than current systems, costing you more money than necessary. Regular maintenance will keep these older machines operating to their full potential, but sometimes, the best solution is to trade up to a more energy-efficient, Energy Star rated system. More information is available online at www.hrai.ca. For more tips on how to save money this spring, and to find a qualified HVAC contractor in your area, visit www.hrai.ca or call 1-877467-4724.

The benefits of interlocking concrete
When you need to pave your driveway or walkways, there is no better choice than interlocking concrete. It’s one of the most economical pavement options out there, especially when it comes to long-term care. That’s partly because interlocking pavement is low maintenance. That ease is something you can appreciate right from day one as interlocking concrete can be used immediately after it is installed. It is also reusable, too, which is great if you have to remove it to fix a pavement problem or to install utilities. With interlocking concrete, you can simply remove the pavement and reinstall it when the work is completed. Interlocking concrete is also a great choice for our harsh Canadian winters. The paver units’ joints help absorb any sort of frost-related movement, meaning that it is freeze and thaw resistant. With interlocking concrete, worrying about pavement damage is a thing of the past, and that’s particularly great considering how aesthetically pleasing interlocking concrete can be. By going with interlocking concrete opposed to other pavement options, you have the choice of an assortment of patterns, curves, lines and designs that can help liven up
your environment. With all those options available, you’re even able to achieve “paver quilting.” Luckily, getting a hold of interlocking concrete in the Ottawa-Carlton region is painless. Canlok Stone www. canlok.com has been serving the area for over 35 years and has value and selection that’s hard to find anywhere else. Additionally, to supplement your new interlocking concrete installation, Canlok also carries base materials such as topsoil, sand, stone dust as well as pebble, decorative stones and boulders so you can perfect your project.
Visit Canlok Stone’s indoor/ outdoor showroom at 950 Moodle Drive in Nepean to have their experts guide you through the steps necessary to transform your property. Alternately you can call Canlok Stone at 613-828-7686 or visit them online www. canlok.com to inquire about your interlocking concrete options.

Week in Review UPDATE - Canada Post Community Mailboxes When this program was first announced I committed to facilitating public input to Canada Post and ensuring residents knew the proposed sites before they were finalized. Since the Canada Post announcement was made I hosted a meeting of all our community associations and senior Canada Post officials to discuss their plans. Comments provided to associations or to myself have been forwarded to Canada Post for consideration and action. Canada Post has surveyed every resident impacted by the service change with over a 50% response rate to ensure every resident had an opportunity to comment. A listing that includes actual pictures of the proposed locations is available on my website along with information on how to comment directly to Canada Post. My office and city staff have proposed changes to about 20% of the locations for reasons such as utilities, bus stops, future planned sidewalk or roadwork etc. Our community reaction seems to be that most understand that Canada Post can’t continue experiencing the losses they have without something changing. They reported an 800 million dollar loss in their announcement. Two thirds of our community is already on a CMB system without any major challenge so while I personally really like having door delivery and appreciate the hard work of the carriers that provide the service, I know change is inevitable and Canada Post can’t afford to extend door service to the whole community. Therefore while some are taking the position that we should demand the service be continued for a few of us and at a huge cost to all, I do not believe residents of Kanata South share that view. That is why I personally encourage others to consider the savings to you, the taxpayer, instead of calling for higher costs. Canada Post has advised they expect to finalize a list of locations in June so please get your comments in. Once the listing is provided it is my intention to share it with you through my website so please check regularly for updates. Cleaning the Capital Thank you to all the groups who have helped to keep our community clean. I will be out Cleaning the Capital on Friday May 23rd from 3-4:30 p.m. on Castlefrank Road at Hazeldean Road. All are welcome to join and I look forward to seeing you on the 23rd! Volunteers needed: Please let my office know if there are any groups within our community that could help remove reported incidents of graffiti vandalism around Kanata South. Interested groups are asked to contact my office at allan.hubley@ottawa.ca for more information.

Youth grapple with Grunch ‘Seussical’ Adam Kveton
adam.kveton@metroland.com
Arts - There is no taking musical theatre away from the kids in Kanata Youth On Stage, but that doesn’t stop The Grunch from trying to do just that. This year’s musical production from KYOS (pronounced “chaos,” and for good reason says the group’s co-ordinator), is turning away from their years of staging Disney princess musicals. Instead, the group found inspiration from Dr. Seuss, with a The Grinch inspired production called The Grunch. But instead of trying to take away Christmas, The Grunch tries to ruin his school’s musical. Taking something as beloved as a musical from these hardy drama folk may prove to be too difficult for The Grunch, but for at least two of KYOS’ cast, he
nearly succeeds. Grade 12 students Ella Schmidtlein and Kaitlin Williams are in their last year of the youth program, having been members since its first public show. While musical theatre will likely continue to be a part of their lives, the pair are excited to have their KYOS career’s end with The Grunch, which takes to the stage on June 6 and 7 at the Ron Maslin Playhouse. “It’s kind of sad to go, but I’m really hoping that this will be a really good show and a good send-off,” said Kaitlin Williams. “I’m just really, really enjoying that this is the last one.” Kaitlin described the show as a bit of musical inception, as the musical is about students writing and performing a musical. “It’s ironic,” she said with a laugh. Though the theatre group has stuck with productions like The

That has meant a more hands-on approach for the cast and crew, all of them 12- to 18-years-old. “Our stage manager this time is actually a teen, our lighting director is a teen, our vocal director is a teen,” said youth program co-ordinator Andrew Williams. “So my role is getting less and less and less,” he said. “Eventually I just want to show up and watch the shows.” The climax of every season is the youth-run musical, meant to give the program’s young
City Councillor, Kanata North A TYPICAL DAY IN THE LIFE OF A COUNCILLOR It’s after 10 pm but the day is not over as I need to have this column submitted by morning. So I thought I’d tell you what I did today, in what was a typical weekday. Rose at 6:30 am and was on my way to a breakfast event before 7 am. Arrived at the Ottawa Conference Centre on Coventry Road at 7:30 am for the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation’s Annual Cancer Champions Fundraising Breakfast. I support many charitable fundraising events like this during the year and along with others gave a personal donation that would be matched by a Foundation. Then back to my Ward Office in Kanata to work on my latest newsletter before going to SS #1, where I joined about 50 members of the Chinese Seniors community in a Cleaning the Capital event. Then to City Hall to complete the newsletter, work on emails, discuss the new school site with our school trustee and go over issues with my staff. Took a break at a birthday lunch for my staff, during which we held a wrap up meeting on the recent Kanata North Community Awards Night. Left early to attend a technical briefing at City Hall with the new CEO of VIA Canada on the problems with railway crossings in Barrhaven. Spoke to the Mayor’s Chief of Staff about meeting on a number of issues in the ward. Back to my office to contact City staff about road closures impacting the Arcadia development, and on the park design for the area, then contacted OC Transpo about that impact on the bus shuttle route. Received an email from Canada Post and sent information to the community association on Canada Post’s next steps in installing postal boxes. Handled a few emails and prepared the agenda for a public meeting in the evening. Left City Hall for the 3 pm EnviroBoutique Grand Re-Opening on Rideau Street. The Enviro Centre provides service to the City and the community on ways to save energy. Councillor Fleury read the Mayor’s proclamation and we cut a green ribbon. Back at City Hall by 4 and met with a staff member on activities for the Kanata North Picnic in July. Dealt with some emails and finally got away about 5:40 pm to go to the next event – the 40th Anniversary Social of CHEO. Chatted with people about health care and congratulated Alex Munter (I had been a mentor to Alex during his youth). Picked up a snack on my way to the final event of the day – a meeting with the new residents in Arcadia to get their input into the park to be built there this year. Minto presented plans for a retail centre, and I informed them about road closures, the timing of building Campeau to the Centrum shopping centre, a new Business Park, the Carp Landfill and other local issues. Then home to write this column. UPCOMING EVENTS & MEETINGS 1) May 27th at 9:30 am, Planning Committee at City Hall, consideration of a proposal for 3 and 9 storey buildings at 1131 Teron Road 2) May 27th at 7 pm Plan of Subdivision for a Business Park on Palladium Drive across from the Outlet Mall, Mlacak Centre 3) May 28th, Carp Landfill, City of Ottawa Public Meeting on the Zoning request, 6:30 – 8:30 pm, Carp Agricultural Hall 4) May 29th, Public Meeting on development plans for City owned lands in the Kanata Town Centre, and on the future for Kanata Avenue, 7 pm Mlacak Centre 5) June 7-8, Give Away Weekend

Kaitlin, the group’s vocal director, has been busy adding harmonies to the basic melodies that came with the musical for the cast to try out, and the result has been a better, more demanding performance, she said. “I think we’ve pushed them a little more than they are used to,” said Kaitlin. “There are some surprises in
the music,” she said. “I think, if done right, it can be very impressive vocally, so I’m excited to see the audience’s reaction to us kind of pushing the bar a bit.” Ella, who plays the enthusiastic organizer of the musical named Harper, said that while the theatre group’s regular audience may miss their Disney princess productions, she said The Grunch still keeps the focus on kids. “It’s going to be different, especially because some of our audience that has been established has been a lot of little girls and they want to come see
the princess and take a picture with them after,” said Ella. But, with fun songs and dances and a good message to cap it all off, the show will still be fun for kids, she said. “It’s still a children’s show, and people know the story of The Grinch and it’s similar to that.” Opening day is fast approaching, with one show on June 6, and two on June 7. Tickets can be purchased from the Kanata Theatre box office at 613-8314435. For more information, check out kanatatheatre.com/ archive/prods/2010s/2013-14/ ktkids/default.htm.

Diefenbunker, Dragoons to hold Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day Cold War reprise Julie Beun

! ! " ! !
Lifestyle - Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not top secret and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t involve any real commandos, but Operation Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day will see the Diefenbunker overrun with the Royal Canadian Dragoons and some of the rarest Cold War vehicles ever seen. Aimed at both raising money for the Cold War museum and the Guild of the Royal Canadian Dragoons, the event will also feature an unprecedented display of Cold War vehicles, including the ultra-rare Volvo Sugga, an unusual Swedish military based on that countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s iconic taxi cabs. Families will also have a chance to ride on a few of the vehicles, grab a tour of the museum, buy food and enjoy beer brewed by the Big Rig Brew Pub, owned by Ottawa Senatorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Chris Phillips. Children can get involved too. The Dragoons will be running a special Kiddy Commando course to put kids through their paces in a mock-military training camp.
There will also be live Cold War era music by Adrian Butts through TETRA speakers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a natural fit to have a partnership between the Dragoons and the Cold War Collection,â&#x20AC;? said Diefenbunker marketing manager Megan Lafrenière.
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great chance for families to come and spend Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. MEGAN LAFRENIĂ&#x2C6;RE DIEFENBUNKER MARKETING MANAGER
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great chance for families to come and spend Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, and to recognize the contribution of the men and women who have served our country.â&#x20AC;? The Diefenbunker, located at 3929 Carp Rd., is a four-storey, 300-room, 100,000-square-foot underground bunker built in secrecy at the height of Cold War tensions with the former U.S.S.R. between 1959 and 1961. It was named for then-Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, af-
ter a journalist exposed the existence of the complex. It was decommissioned in 1994. These days, more than 48,000 visitors come through the famous blast tunnel for tours, said Lafrenière. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At Doors Open Ottawa, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the most popular site â&#x20AC;Ś thousands of people come out to Carp. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping that Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day will be a similar event.â&#x20AC;? The event is co-hosted by the Cold War Collection, Guild of the Royal Canadian Dragoons and Star Motors. Event: Operation Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. Cost $15 per person, $40 for a family of five and children under six free. Includes: A military-themed tour of the bunker, rides on vehicles, exclusive and rare Cold War vehicle display, Kiddy Commando Course with prizes, music, and access for food and beverages. For more information, call Megan Lafrenière at 613-8390007. Tickets are available through www.bunkerdown. eventbrite.ca or at the Diefenbunker.

Via spending millions on Barrhaven crossing fixes Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Via Rail officials issued a litany of apologies for ongoing rail signal malfunctions in Barrhaven on May 15 and assured city council that multi-million dollar fixes are already showing improvements. Via’s new CEO, Yves DesjardinsSiciliano, was at city hall with other officials to present results from an expert analysis of what caused so many instances of the signals at Fallowfield, Woodroffe, Jockvale, Strandherd and the Transitway to go into fail-safe mode over the past three months. Desjardins-Siciliano said the public was never in danger at any time, but he and Marc Beaulieu, the chief of transport and regional manager of eastern Canada for Via Rail, apologized to the city and the community of Barrhaven for the “unacceptable” number of malfunctions. “We understand recent events in the Barrhaven area may have eroded that confidence,” Beaulieu said. “We are sincerely sorry … Our goal is to turn this around.” The Crown corporation says it has already begun an up-to $3.5-million project to fix the issues, which fall into four categories: electrical, such as hydro line interference and salt contaminating the track and dis-
rupting the signal; operational issues with trains stopping between the two stations and setting off signals; mechanical issues with the gates; and software problems with circuit boards and signal control devices. Sixty-four per cent of the planned fixes are already completed, said Aaron Branston of Rail Term, the contractor that maintains the crossings on behalf of Via. Software to enable the sending of real-time notifications for signal issues directly to Via and Rail Term has been enabled at Woodroffe, Fallowfield and the Transitway crossings. Cameras will be installed at the same crossings by the end of June and at the three other crossings – Greenbank, Strandherd and Jockvale – after that. Via has also reduced train speeds to 30 to 40 miles per hour (around 50 to 65 kilometres per hour) around some of the crossings. In looking further ahead, perhaps not until the spring of 2015, Via plans to spend $2 million to install what it calls a “siding” – basically a side track to act as a train parking lot between Via’s two stations, to avoid trains having to stop on the main track, which sets off signals. An enhanced maintenance schedule has been put in place and Desjardins-Siciliano assured KnoxdaleMerivale Coun. Keith Egli, the
transportation committee chairman, that enhanced maintenance will be continued in order to prevent similar deterioration from reoccurring. “I enjoy Ottawa, but i don’t enjoy this moment,” Desjardins-Siciliano said. “We don’t want to come back. We will make sure the maintenance schedule is modified to prevent reoccurrence.” Desjardins-Siciliano said he coaxed former Via chief executive John Marginson out of retirement to be on-site in Ottawa overseeing the project. With that oversight will come better communication and messages directly from him, Desjardins-Siciliano said. That pleased Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder, who emphasized that better communication with the public will be essential to earning back residents’ trust. Via officials urged residents to check the website it set up to provide up-to-date information on the Barrhaven crossings: viarail.ca/en/ about-via-rail/information-ottawaarea-residents. Desjardins-Siciliano was just appointed to his role on Saturday, less than a week prior to the briefing of city officials, and he said he is feeling the pressure from Mayor Jim Watson, transport Minister Lisa Raitt and Ottawa West-Nepean MP John Baird to fix the issues.
It doesn’t waste energy.

Glass repair and replacement A windshield chip could turn into a crack at any time, often when you are least expecting it. If this happens when you are driving, it could impair your visibility. Your vehicle’s airbags rely on the windshield to provide support if they are deployed, meaning that windshield chip repair is a way to maintain structural safety. Repairing a chip is quicker than replacing a whole windshield. A windshield chip can usually be repaired while you wait. The cost of a chip repair is a fraction of a replacement windshield. Catch the chip before it gets too large and save your money.

Marathon organizers West Carleton Review expect economic boost Erin McCracken

Sports - Downtown Ottawa Font_PalatinoLinotype_Bold will transform into a sea of running shoes this weekend, Location_MyriadPro_Bold which is good news for local businesses.ALL TYPE OUTLINED A full lineup of road races on May 24 and 25 is expected to draw nearly 48,000 runners, about 4,000 more than last year. With such a large influx of participants at Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend events, organizers are expecting that to translate into a boost in economic spinoffs for the city. “You can walk into any hotel in Ottawa and try to get a hotel room on Saturday night,” said race director John Halvorsen. “It’s not going to work out. “My understanding is the Chateau Laurier has a waiting list of over 60 people trying to get in there,” he said. “So it’s great that way for the city.” A study done on the 2012 race weekend, which drew 42,000 runners, revealed the running events had produced
an estimated $28-million windfall for the capital. No data is available from last year’s race weekend, but organizers are hoping a partial study on the upcoming race weekend, billed as Canada’s largest multi-day running event, will show an upswing in the economic tally, Halvorsen said.

“So it’s going to grow at least another 10 per cent” he said. “I’m certainly expecting it’s over $30 (million).” Organizers are optimistic the momentum will continue. “Hopefully it can stay as large as it is and we continue to have an economic impact,” the director said.

While few Canadian marathons sell out, all available race bibs for the Scotiabank Ottawa Marathon on May 25 were snapped up in January. This year, the marathon will see 7,100 registrations, while just more than 6,000 registered for last year’s race. The half-marathon, which also kicks off May 25, sold out in November with 13,300 registrants, two months earlier than the year before, which netted 500 fewer entries. This year’s marathon is proving to be extremely popular, likely because some participants are drawn to the uniqueness of completing the 40th running of the marathon, while others have registered because they enjoy running in this city, particularly because of its clean air, said Halvorsen. “So we’re sort of curious to see if that trend is going to continue,” he said of the boost in participants. Still, despite people jockeying for race bibs, organizers are not planning on growing the races much larger in the coming years. “We’re sort of hitting the point now where we’re limited by the spaces that we have in the start-finish, rather than on the courses,” Halvorsen said. For details on course routes, please visit runottawa.ca. What’s happening:
The 10-, five- and twokilometre races will be held May 24. The marathon, halfmarathon, wheelchair marathon and kids’ marathon take place May 25.

Excitement mounts for longtime Ottawa marathon volunteer
News - Debby Whately has never run a marathon in her life, yet every year like clockwork she dedicates an entire weekend to ensuring thousands of runners have the race of their lives. As the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend draws closer on May 24 and 25, Whately is gearing up to join about 2,000 other volunteers, who are instrumental in ensuring the event goes off as planned. This will be Whately’s 32nd Ottawa Marathon weekend. “I recognize that there’s a lot of volunteers involved in my sports, so this is my way of paying back,” said Whately, who competes with the Sportchicks Dragon Boat Team at the international level. Over the years, she has also competed in masters swimming and touch football, which both relied on volunteers. This year, she’ll be working along the race route on May 25, from 3 to about 9 p.m. The next day, she will be up early and heading to the course for a 6 a.m. start, before the Scotiabank Ottawa Marathon gets underway at 7 a.m. Her longtime involvement is

“At the time he said he was running the marathon, and I said, ‘Oh, maybe I’ll see you at the finish line,” Whately said with a smile, adding her husband has run both the marathon and half-marathon twice over the years. The Westboro resident, who works as a medical laboratory technologist at the Regional Virology Laboratory based out of the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, has seen the event change and grow by leaps and bounds over the years. The start-finish line has since been moved from Carleton to downtown, and two-, five- and 10kilometre races have been added,

and, at one time, the marathon included an inline skate. The number of runners started to climb when shorter children-friendly course distances were added in the mid-90s, said Whately. “It made it appealing to all different people,” she said. Her volunteer role has also changed a number of times. She started out by helping to manually enter a runner’s finish-line time, before going on to volunteer as an assistant volunteer co-ordinator. For the past 10 years she has worked as a trucker, ensuring many barricades are removed and roads are reopened in a timely manner.

Nepean runner eyes Ottawa marathon as next challenge Mark White running to raise awareness for Kenyan orphans Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Sports - Mark White is an all or nothing kind of guy. The Nepean man is preparing to run the Scotiabank Ottawa Marathon on May 25, his third time tackling the event. The 42-year-old is certainly no stranger to overcoming enormous obstacles. In July 2009, he and four of his friends and training partners were nearly killed by a hit-and-run driver as they cycled along March Road in Kanata. White suffered a brain injury, impairing his short-term memory and ability to multitask. He also suffers from cognitive fatigue. Despite his determination and previous successful runs, there have been recent moments when he has doubted his ability to complete the upcoming road race in under six hours. “I’ve always been an all or nothing person,” said White, but added he’s learned that accomplishing a personal best time is not the only priority. For this race, he is motivated by raising awareness
for the Ottawa-based Tumaini Children’s Project, a charitable organization that helps Kenyan orphans who have lost their parents to AIDS. “That’s Daniel in that picture,” White said, pointing to a photograph of a young Kenyan boy with a big smile. White began sponsoring Daniel through the project in January, ensuring the nineyear-old orphan can attend school and have a roof over his head, along with other essentials. “For them I’m raising awareness, hoping other people will sponsor kids like Daniel so they can complete their schooling,” White said. If he can inspire one person to help, White said his goal will be accomplished, no matter how long it takes him to finish the long-distance course. White said the key is focusing on his strengths, rather than his limitations. “I love challenges,” he said. “Take out the words ‘problems and difficulties’ from your vocabulary. If you have a challenge, you’re already thinking, ‘how can I overcome this challenge?’” To learn more about the

Mark White wears a serious game face as he mentally prepares to run the Scotiabank Ottawa Marathon on May 25.

Nepean councillor wants rental licensing Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Requiring homeowners who want to rent out rooms near Algonquin College to buy a license might help alleviate student-housing problems, said Coun. Rick Chiarelli. At a meeting on June 19 of the community and protective services committee, the College Ward councillor will ask city staff to look into possible licensing schemes for landlords who want to rent out three or four rooms in their homes. The goal is to prevent illegal conversions of single-family homes into mini-apartments. It’s not focused on reducing the number of rental units, but rather on preventing structural changes to homes that change the fabric of the neighbourhoods, Chiarelli said. “The only additional restriction is the units that are there illegally,” Chiarelli said. “Our communities don’t want Ryan Farm, Cityview and Bellaire to become what Sandy Hill became when it was at its worst,” Chiarelli said. “They want to ensure we enforce the zoning bylaw that makes it a neighbourhood.” The councillor said the community has been discussing the problems with illegal conversions for six years and recent Supreme Court decisions in favour of the municipalities of Waterloo and Oshawa, which created licenses for rental housing in specifically defined areas seemed to offer an appropriate solution. Chiarelli’s motion, which would need to gain the committee’s approval, will ask staff to look at any solutions that have been used elsewhere in Ontario, but he has a specific focus on licensing. It would also ensure the issue is brought up at a meeting of the provincial Urban Municipal Law Enforcement Network. “We zoomed in on some sort of control that would let officials get access
to the building to determine if the law is being broken,” Chiarelli said. “Right now, there are a number of cases where everyone knows the law is being broken, but we have to wait for the opportunity to be able to look.” His office gets reports about possible illegal rental conversions every week, he said. Right now, it’s difficult for bylaw officers to enforce the zoning that restricts the number of units that can be rented out. There needs to be “specific evidence” of the violation such as a document, Chiarelli said. “It can’t just be someone saying ‘I know they have 10 units rented out,’” he said. “It takes bylaw officers months and months and months of work to be able to gather that.” Under his proposed scheme, if landlords attempt to rent out rooms illegally without a license and the city is alerted, it would trigger an inspection in order to begin the process of obtaining a license. That inspection of illegally converted dwellings wouldn’t be allowed now, Chiarelli said. Chad Rollins of Action Sandy Hill said he didn’t see the harm in asking city staff to research the possibility of licensing room rentals – the community association and nine other community groups called for just that in a letter sent to Mayor Jim Watson and the planning committee. But Rollins wondered if limiting a potential solution to the neighbourhoods surrounding Algonquin College was an equitable approach. “If there are multiple areas of the city having the same problem, then such a solution shouldn’t be confined to just one of those areas,” Rollins said. Chiarelli said the licensing idea “might be picked up” for other areas in the city, but he’s focused on the area around the college. “We don’t want licensing across the entire city. We don’t want licensing of all landlords,” Chiarelli said. “It’s targeting certain areas that have the increased calls about violations and that’s perfectly legitimate to do. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury said it would make more sense to treat every area the same unless a solution – whether it’s a license or another option – was just being tested. “Obviously we’d prefer to bring a

Rick Chiarelli wants city staff to research. model that works citywide ... but if it needs to be piloted, it might need to be brought to a specific community,” he said. Fleury said bringing the discussion of options for tackling student housing issues into the public realm isn’t a bad idea, but he said he’d have to see the details of a licensing scheme before weighing in on whether he would support it for his area. He said the review might come up with other solutions that are easier or more relevant than licensing. Fleury said he’d prefer something that could improve living conditions for students, who he said comprise about 10 per cent of the city’s population. Chiarelli said adding a license would actually make it easier for homeowners who aren’t familiar with the specifications needed in order to rent out rooms. There are about 2,000
homes in the area that could be covered by the new licensing scheme and Chiarelli estimated 30 to 40 per cent of those homeowners would like to rent out a room. There could be an agreement with Algonquin College that would see inspected and licensed units – and only

NCC gears up to restart LeBreton redevelopment Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
world-class sustainable design through partnerships with the private sector,” Kristmanson said. He said the NCC will take the summer and fall to decide how it will proceed with selling off the land, but Coun. Diane Holmes, whose ward contains the flats, insisted it was critical that the parcels of land be small and that a variety of developers be engaged in the process of rebuilding a true neighbourhood. “There needs to be many developers so you get different architecture, different concepts,” she said. “Everyone I talk to says (Claridge’s Phase 1) is not a friendly place. It’s not a homey neighbourhood. It’s not a neighbourhood that’s being built and we want neighbourhoods.” Ensuring there is space for small businesses along Booth Street, the main drag, will be critical, Holmes said. Smit said the NCC needs to proceed with caution when it comes to flooding the real estate market with developable land. But making interim improvements and creating a strategy for how the land is parcelled off and sold for development is a wise approach, Smit said. BOOTH/WELLINGTON ‘NODE’
In the meantime, the NCC is looking to make temporary improvements at the corner of Booth and Wellington during the next five years. The goal is to create some interest and activity there and to make the area publically accessible now that contaminated soil has been excavated. Earlier last week, the NCC unveiled the plans for the National Holocaust Memorial designed by a team led by Gail Dexter Lord, co-president of Toronto consulting firm Lord Cultural Resources, which will occupy the northeast corner of the intersection. But the agency will only have

A number of participants urged the NCC to get a start on creating a tree-lined boulevard by planting trees along the
south side of Wellington so they would be of a decent size when development occurs in the area. Creating a community garden was another suggestion. Holmes and several other participants emphasized the need for publically accessible washroom facilities in the area. She was among people who suggested the NCC repurpose its Rideau Canal skateway chalets as public washrooms at LeBreton Flats when the skating season is over.
“Using the washrooms from the canal, since they have to be lifted off the canal and taken somewhere for storage, putting a couple of them in this area would be very helpful,” Holmes said. Adding lighting to the area will also be important, a number of participants agreed, but electrical service may not yet be available at that corner. The suggestion of adding solarpowered bollard lights was well-received.

News - The newly appointed National Capital Commission CEO wants to rewrite plans to develop LeBreton Flats, but he’s in no rush. The NCC held a design charette on May 13 for invited VIPs to brainstorm temporary improvements to the southeast and southwest corners of Booth and Wellington streets, but action on a long-term development plan is about a year out, said Mark Kristmanson, who took over the top role at the organization in February. The NCC is ready to move on from the never-realized 1996 vision for LeBreton Flats as a mixed-use community, Kristmanson said. That plan led to Claridge purchasing part of the land, which used to be home to the workers who built Ottawa. “I think we have to learn lessons from the first round,” he said. “I think it’s fair to say we’ll start fresh in terms of our approach.” The advent of light-rail transit and Windmill’s proposed redevelopment of the Chaudiere Islands adjacent to the flats, have changed the context of the area, Kristmason said. Although the NCC still has to work with the city on a storm water management plan for the area to prevent it from returning to wetlands, the agency plans to draft a request for proposals to look for developers that are interested in helping build on the flats. “We don’t want it to be that long term. I don’t want to make a firm commitment, but we’d like to go out (with that request for proposals) something like within a year,” Kristmanson said. “We’d like to plumb the creativity of the world. This is a major site in the core of a G8 capital ... It’s to let the world come to us and say, ‘We could do this or we could do that.’” He emphasized that some
kind of major “anchor” will be an important part of redefining the vision for the flats. “We’ll be looking for some kind of an anchor institution or an attraction and then other uses on the rest of the site, but we’re just starting that process, so it’s a bit early to comment,” he said. “We really want the creative juices out there and developers and communities to be applied to this site. What really creative things can we bring here?” he asked. “I’m not sure that’s going to be generated from us. I think that’s going to have to come from outside.“ He said there will be a future opportunity to the public to participate in that process. John Smit, manager of urban development review for the city, was one of those invited to the session. He agreed with Kristmanson’s idea to start fresh and said he was approaching the consultation with an open mind. “Given that it’s never fully been implemented or acted on, it really presents an opportunity to relook at the situation and see where there is a potential to (build) not just a commercial and residential community as contemplated, but to see what else might be possible here that could really start rejuvenating and adding to the identity of Ottawa and to the identity of the capital,” Smit said. While the federal public works department is currently engaged in consulting the public and drafting detailed plans for the redevelopment of large swaths of land, including Tunney’s Pasture and the former CFB Rockcliffe, Kristmanson said the NCC’s approach to developing LeBreton Flats “will probably be a little more open process than that.” “Essentially, the long-term vision is to provide a vibrant and exciting public space, to develop the waterfront, to create an anchor attraction for the capital and to do it through

United Way announces this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign total $21 million goal falls short Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - The United Way said it still needs funds to help improve the lives of 16,000 people living in the city after it announced it had fallen about $4 million short of its annual campaign goal. The organization raised $16.7 million during this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign, missing the mark of $21 set at the beginning of the campaign back in September. The money goes to support the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work in the community. As a result, the United Way said the money raised will help 60,000 of the 76,000 lives it set out to help. Campaign co-chairs Barbara Cook and Goldy Hyder joined community partners and the campaign team at the Morrison Gardens Community House on May 16 to announce this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign total. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Together we worked hard to rally our community around the achievement of our priority goals and that work is bearing fruit. Our work cannot and will not stop here,â&#x20AC;? Cook said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reality is that there are another 16,000 people â&#x20AC;&#x201C; almost enough people to fill the entire Canadian Tire Centre â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who still need our help.â&#x20AC;?
Last year, the organization said it helped 65,000 people after raising $16 million for target-specific programming. Over the past few years the organization has struggled to reach its campaign goals and changed the way its campaigns are run, including extending the campaign and lowering its goals to better meet donorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; capacity.

Fighting for community dollars, Allen added has become increasingly difficult, as more and more charities and fundraisers are looking for donations. Because of these factors,
United Way Ottawa announced its campaign total on May 16 at the Morrison Gardens Community House. this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign took on a new focus. The 2013-14 campaign significantly reduced its goal from the more than $30 million in 2012-13 to $21 million with a focus on United Way programming. So the difference this year was the money raised was tied to what the United Way
defined as measurable goals -- money solely for the United Wayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organizations which requested funding through designated priorities-- no longer will it ask donors to raise money beyond that. Above the United Way specific goal however, donors still were able to allocated funds to other causes, rais-
ing $12.6 million for more than 3,800 other registered Canadian charities, totalling $29.3 million for the campaign year. Jeffrey Dale, director and co-founder at Odawa Group Inc. and chair of United Wayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Community Services cabinet, said that of the money raise, $24.7 million will be invested
in the community. Of this total, $12.1 million will support vital frontline programs and United Wayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work in three focus areas: Growing Up Great, Belonging to Community and Turning Lives Around with a total of 107 front-line programs and services to receive funding.

Residents displaced after fire causes $430K in damages Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News - Ottawa firefighters suspect the cause of a fire that gutted an apartment unit in a 10-storey building at 2660 Norberry Cres. was electrical, though the exact source was still unclear in the days after the May 14 blaze. “If they can’t specifically blame either the extension cord or the air conditioner that was there or maybe a faulty plug, then it’ll likely go as undetermined,” said fire services spokesman Capt. Marc Messier. Officials with the Electrical Safety Authority were called in to assist with the investigation. Fire officials estimate damages at $430,000, including $150,000 in damages to the main unit, and $30,000 to contents. Damages from heavy smoke on the first floor of the building are estimated at $250,000. Multiple 911 calls at 4:17 p.m. sent firefighters racing to the scene in Riverside Park. They were met with a working fire as well as thick smoke billowing out of a main floor threebedroom unit. The emergency was quickly upgraded to a three-alarm blaze, bringing out between 40 and 50 firefighters to battle the fire, dispel the smoke and help evacuate residents. The seven occupants of the affected unit managed to escape. About 50 residents were not permitted to return to their units that night.

Damages were tenants. estimated at $430,000, and fire investigators say the cause of the fire may be electrical. Given the size of the fire, it’s lucky no one was injured, said Messier, who remained at the scene until about 11 p.m. the night of the fire. “The bedroom at the one end of the apartment was completely destroyed right down to concrete,” he said. “All three bedrooms sustained heavy, heavy fire damage and heat damage, and when you walk down the hallway, as far as halfway down the corridor, the smoke alarms and anything that’s plastic on the ceiling were melted.” Firefighters were able to knock out the fire within 15 to 20 minutes, but before their arrival the situation quickly escalated because the door to the unit where the fire started had been left open, allowing smoke to escape. $ $ “The heat was really intense,” Messier said. “You could see the pattern in the hall of where the flames nOw $ nOw $ were rolling down that Only Only hallway, so anybody in any of those ground units – had they tried to come out through their doors they would have been injured.

Ottawa police are invesitgating after a male patient fatally shot himself at the Ottawa Civic Hospital.
Civic hospital reviewing security after shooting Ottawa police investigating fatality on May 14 Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News - The Ottawa Civic Hospital will review its security procedures after a male patient fatally shot himself inside the hospital’s psychiatric department on May 14. Ottawa central district police officers are now investigating the incident, including the type of firearm that was used in what investigators say was a death by suicide in a sixth-floor washroom inside the hospital at 10:58 a.m. Police declined to disclose the type of firearm used. “There’s a whole bunch of stuff we’re investigating, like how did the weapon get into his possession, where did he get the weapon and how did he bring it in,” said police spokesman Const. Marc Soucy. Due to the ongoing nature of the investiga-
tion, he refused to confirm media reports that an off-duty Ottawa police officer happened to be at the scene at the time. “We’re not confirming the details around the incident there because we don’t usually talk about suicides,” Soucy said. The Ottawa Civic Hospital expressed concern for staff and patients who are affected by the fatality. “We urge all patients who need assistance to consult our social workers, and staff who need help are urged to contact our occupational health department,” hospital spokeswoman Hazel Harding said in a statement. Though she declined to provide further details due to the police investigation, she said “the incident will not have any impact on patient care. “Our first concern is always for the safety of patients, visitors and staff,” said Harding. “As a precaution, the hospital will review its security procedures as it relates to this incident to ensure public safety.” People in distress are urged to use resources such as the Mental Health Crisis Line at 613722-6914.

News - An Almonte man is the winner of a 1988 red convertible once owned by Canadian figure skating champion Barbara Ann Scott-King. Richard Swartman’s ticket was drawn on May 9 from 1,093 tickets, which each cost $100, in a fundraising lottery organized by The Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre Foundation. The first question Daniel Clapin, foundation executive director, asked Swartman when he called to tell him the news was, do you like the colour red? Swartman had no idea what Clapin was talking about, until the director spelled out the good news. “When we called him from the stage … you could hear his wife jumping up and down, ‘We won a car. We won a car,’” said Clapin. Scott-King’s Mercedes Benz 560 SL roadster, valued at $40,000, was donated by Scott-King’s husband, Tom King. Proceeds from the event, held in honour of the legendary figure skater’s goldmedal performance during the 1948 Olympic Games, will go to The Perley and Rideau’s Building Choices, Enriching Lives capital campaign. Scott-King, who passed away in September 2012, joined the campaign that same summer as one of three honourary co-chairs. Retired general Rick Hill-

ier and Ottawa philanthropist Grete Hale also hold the title. More than $2.5 million has been raised through the fundraiser to pay for the construction of two new Perley and Rideau apartment complexes to provide independent and assisted living accommodations for military veterans and other seniors. The total cost of the project, which includes a physiotherapy centre, and will one day feature a wellness centre and adapted gym, is $43.2 million. Construction on the facilities, which began in 2011, is now complete, and 139 people are currently living in the new spaces. The need for seniors’ accommodations in Ottawa has never been greater, said Clapin. “The (World Health Organization) is talking about an epidemic of aging here,” the director said, adding that too many seniors are dying alone without friends, family and other support. The Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre plays a critical role in providing for aged residents, he added. “We’re trying to maintain their independence for as long as possible. That’s what we’re trying to do,” said Clapin. “We hope you come here to live every breath to the fullest.” To donate to the Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre Foundation, please visit www.perleyrideau.ca/article/foundation.

Grade 3 students, and their Grade 7 coach, from Carleton Heights Public School earned the title of Mathlete on May 13 when they spent the day competing in math based challenges like spatial problem solving using pentominoes, pictured above. ‘This is an opportunity to celebrate the intrinsic value of mathematics,’ said school principal Andrew Canham. ‘Mathletes is a way to bring math to the forefront and show students that not only can it be fun to do, but like other subjects, math should be showcased in the same manner that science, arts and athletics are.’

Senior living soars with amazing travel program at first-rate seniors’ residence
R0012710748
News - Ottawa police are investigating the alleged sexual assault of a 35-year-old woman at the OC Transpo Billings Bridge station. Investigators say the woman had just gotten off a public transit bus and was walking at the station when a lone man grabbed her and inappropriately touched her on May 12 at 3 a.m. “The victim does not believe that the man was on the bus with her,” police said in a statement. She screamed and the man took off on foot, heading west through the parking lot. Officers were unable to locate the suspect after arriving on scene. Police declined to disclose in what way the woman was touched, citing investigative reasons. “They use that (information) as an investigative tool to get the people that they actually want behind bars,” said Const. Chuck Benoit, police spokesman. The male suspect is described as Caucasian, six-feet tall, and wearing black clothing and a black baseball cap. Investigators plan to use footage from cameras in the area to help solve the case. “That’s one of the top 10 things that they do – are there cameras around, were there people with cellphones that were witnesses or were in the area,” Benoit said. “Cameras (are) always one of the main (tools) that they look for.”

Ottawa man charged in serial sex predator attacks 25-year-old suspect faces 13 charges Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News - A 25-year-old man living in Ottawa on an expired student visa is facing 13 charges in connection to six alleged sexual assaults in the city between August 2012 and October 2013. The day after the suspect’s arrest in Ottawa’s west end on May 15 at about 4:40 p.m., Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau credited the eight major crime and sexual assault unit detectives working the case as part of a dedicated task force launched in January. “When we first came out with (the task force) we were linking three (sexual assaults) and a possible other seven, and three of those seven have been linked to him,” police spokesman Const. Marc Soucy said following the police chief’s May 16 press conference. At the time the special team was formed, Ottawa police warned the public that a “serial sexual predator” was potentially on the loose in the city, Soucy said. Police say they were first able to
link an assault in Nepean on Banner Road on Aug. 5, 2012, with another in Elmvale Acres on June 26, 2013 on a footpath between Lancaster Road and Erinbrook Crescent, and a third in Heron Park on Aldea Avenue on Oct. 7, 2013. In examining possible connections with seven more attacks, investigators allege the same suspect is behind three additional assaults on women, including one in late March 2013 in Nepean in the 2600-block of Draper Ave, another in Sandy Hill along Laurier Avenue near Chapel Street on June 1, 2013, followed by an attack a few months later on Oct. 16 in Nepean in the 2400-block of Baseline Rd., between Woodroffe Avenue and Greenbank Road. Task-force detectives will continue to investigate whether the suspect is behind additional unsolved assaults. “There could be more,” Soucy said. Police are remaining tight-lipped about the case to protect evidence that will be presented in court. Soucy declined to confirm media reports that the suspect’s student visa had expired in May 2013, as well as additional reports the suspect owns a moving company in the city. “Identifying and arresting the person responsible for these crimes

Ottawa police are looking into whether more sexual assault cases could be connected to a suspect recently charged in relation to six incidents. has been a priority for the Ottawa police service and I want to thank the investigators for their work,” Bordeleau said in a prepared statement. “Investigators have worked tirelessly to solve these crimes.” The special investigative team waded through hundreds of tips that came in from the public, and methodically identified more than 150
persons of interest in the case. In addition to crediting officers and the public, Bordeleau also recognized the women who reported the crimes to police for their “great courage and resilience. “It’s vital that these crimes are reported,” the chief said. “Victims can have confidence in coming forward, that when these crimes are
reported they will be fully investigated.” The suspect, who was initially scheduled to appear in court on May 16, has been charged with six counts of sexual assault, three counts of overcoming resistance, two counts of break and enter and two counts of committing an indecent act.

Ottawa’s #1 Ranked Soccer Club
File
Glebe Collegiate students will be hitting the streets on May 29 to raise money for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario.
OSU’s Mollie Eriksson invited to Regional Exceleration Training Centre (REX) Mollie Eriksson’s dream of making the women’s national soccer team (WNT) is one step closer. She was recently invited to participate in the Regional Exceleration Training Centre program (REX), a joint collaboration between the Ontario Soccer Association and the Canadian Soccer Association, aimed at identifying and developing Ontario’s “most talented players” on their path toward the WNT. Mollie, a member of Team Ontario, participated in the pre-REX program this winter, a four month try-out for the full REX. Traveling to Toronto every week was challenging, but well worth the effort. REX is a year-round comprehensive program in which high quality training hours are directed at working on the “right things”. Players are formally assessed and monitored by provincial and national team coaches to ensure they are progressing. REX players also get to train and compete with the “best of the best”. For example, Mollie trains with high-caliber goalkeepers such as Devon Kerr and Rylee Foster, members of the U17 WNT and REX. Mollie began playing soccer at the age of 4. She moved to Ottawa at age 8 and joined OSU as soon as she arrived. Mollie has always wanted to be a goalkeeper and has shown a lot of promise over the years. In 2012, she was selected from over 8000 players for Danone Nations Cup Team Canada, who competed in the 40 world team tournament in Poland. Mollie, the captain for Team Canada, was only 1 of 3 girls to participate in this first-rate tournament for boys. More recently, Mollie and her teammates won the 2013 Ontario Cup that was decided by a penalty kick shootout in which Mollie made 3 critical one-handed diving saves. OSU is very proud of Mollie’s accomplishments and wishes her the best in this next phase of her soccer career. We recognize the amount of hard work she has put into achieving her goals, and the role our coaching staff, in particular Shawn Edward OSU Force Academy Keeper Coach, have played in her development. OSU has partnered with REX in the delivery of technical training for Mollie. We are as committed as Mollie to making her dream of representing Canada a reality.
High school hosts CHEO fundraiser Hundreds of students participate in annual fundraiser Michelle Nash
michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - For the fourth year in a row, hundreds of Glebe Collegiate students will be knocking on doors in the neighbourhood to help sick kids. The annual Kids 4 Kids CHEO fundraiser, organized by Glebe Collegiate teachers Janice Bernstein and Katherine Caldwell, typically raises more than $17,000 in about three hours. All the money collected is donated it to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, and this year the students are hoping to raise $20,000 on May 29. Bernstein said all donations are collected by the high school students who canvass the neighbourhood. “The students take a lot of pride in doing this. For a lot of students, high school is their first time experiencing volunteerism,” she said. “This is a way they can learn about paying it forward and wanting to become civic
minded residents all by simply by going door-to-door.” More than 500 students participate in the event. Each student, Bernstein said, will be easily identified with CHEO and Glebe Collegiate buttons pinned to their T-shirts. Students in groups in twos and threes go door-to-door in the Glebe, Glebe Annex, Old Ottawa East and Old Ottawa South. Donations in amounts higher than $20 will receive a tax receipt. According to Bernstein, over the years the students have really embraced this fundraiser and many have even become leaders for the cause. “We have a team of about 30 students who help run the event,” she said. “It’s great. The students really take the lead and do an incredible amount of work to get this going.” The unique thing about this fundraiser, the teacher said, is that typically door-to-door fundraising for the hospital is not allowed. “In the past, we would fundraise for cancer foundations, but every student has been to CHEO or knows someone who has used their service and it’s such an important service. We reached out to CHEO to see if we could do something. It’s been a great partnership.” R0012708712

The event, which begins at 5:30 p.m. with a barbecue and a pre-canvassing basketball game scheduled. After that, the students get to work, canvassing for three hours. The fact that the students are able to collect such a large amount of money in such a short amount of time is pretty phenomenal, Bernstein said. Local businesses also participate, she said. “Our goal is to never spend a cent to do the fundraising and it’s made possible by the donations and volunteer help we receive.” From donations for the barbecue to putting up posters, Bernstein said although this event is organized by the school, it truly has become a community event over the years. “Community really comes together. Parents, community members everyone helps out,” she said. If residents are away during the evening, there is an alternative way to donate online at cheofoundation. com/glebe-collegiate-kids-4-kidscheo-drive.

Greenboro library branch going high-tech New radio-frequency identification technology to improve efficiency Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News - The Ottawa Public Library’s Greenboro branch is undergoing a high-tech facelift that will result in an eight-day closure during the last week in June and the first week in July. The branch was first closed last week on May 15 and 16 to allow contractors to set up shop, and begin work on retrofitting the branch with radio-frequency technology – the fifth one to receive the upgrades. Construction and design changes at the branch are billed at almost $117,000. Greenboro is the first to be retrofitted this year, with six more branches slated for hightech changes later this year, at a total cost of $1.86 million. These branches include Beaverbrook, Cumberland, Greely, Rockcliffe Park, Carlingwood and Main. Hazeldean was the first to be upgraded in 2012, and Emerald Plaza, Alta Vista and Nepean Centrepointe followed suit in 2013. The radio-frequency equipment at the first 11 branches is costing the library $2.5 million, and 22 more branches in the system will receive the technology by 2017, pending budget approvals for each of the next three years. Users of the Greenboro branch will see plywood walls in place over the next month, behind which workers are installing an automated book sorter, new self-checkout units and security gates, said Richard Stark, manager of library facilities development. The gates, check-out machines and sorter will be able
to read special radio-frequency identification tags already outfitted on library materials, from CDs and DVDs to books and other reading materials. The tags have replaced the previous barcode system. Library patrons will be able to place a small stack of books and other items in the self-checkout units, which can scan the materials at once. “Certainly we can see the benefits in the branches we’ve already done, and we’ll see the benefits in the upcoming branches we’re about to do, and, of course, the public will see it too,” he said. Returned materials will be processed immediately, he said, adding that as library materials are deposited in book drops, they will move down the newly installed conveyor belt, be individually scanned and automatically separated into bins. “It used to be that, literally, staff would have to take these materials, then sort them in all the different categories, and then they’d have to individually scan them off the system,” Stark explained. With the radio-frequency technology, the material will already be scanned and processed, and staff will only have to put the materials on book carts and re-shelve them. “So it saves a lot of time,” the manager said. “It gets stuff out there sooner for the public.” The technology will also allow library employees to more accurately manage inventory. “There’s actually a really big improvement in inventory control, because with this technology you can literally walk down the stacks with a scanner and just scan the books as you

Though the technology is so expensive that it will take four years for all branches to receive the retrofits, it will represent a significant costsavings in terms of staff time. “It streamlines operations,” said Stark. “It allows staff to be more focused on customer service and helping the public out on the floor, as opposed to spending a lot of time dealing with accounts and issues surrounding the material they brought back, because it hasn’t been processed yet.” Greenboro branch users will still be able to access the branch’s book drop during the summertime closure, and rely on the nearest library branch, located at 2516 Alta Vista Dr. R0012708738
Renowned Noffke buildings featured during Doors Open Ottawa 2014 By Jenna Guilbeault
Werner Ernst Noffke (1878–1964) was once a household name in Ottawa, but today he is largely unknown to those who are unfamiliar with our city’s architectural history. A German native, he was one of Ottawa’s most influential architects, and several of his buildings will be featured in Doors Open Ottawa 2014, a free event that celebrates the capital’s historically, functionally, culturally and architecturally significant buildings. Noffke’s interest in architecture developed when he was a young boy, and by the age of 14 he was an apprentice to local architect Adam Harvey, who was also of German decent. As his passion for architecture grew, Noffke went on to study at the Fine Arts Association of Ottawa. By 1904, he would celebrate his first independently constructed building, which became his own home. The oldest of five Noffke buildings participating in this year’s event was constructed in 1910 and is located at 534 Queen Elizabeth Drive. Currently, it is the official residence of the Greek Ambassador to Canada, but it was built for lawyer and Liberal Party organizer Andrew Haydon and was known as Haydon House. This marks the embassy’s first year in Doors Open Ottawa. Also featured for the first time is Powell House, built in 1913 for William Powell, who developed houses for the upper-middle classes in the Glebe before the First World
War. Located at 85 Glebe Avenue, it is now the Embassy of Vietnam to Canada and is referred to as Vietnam House. Shannon Ricketts, author of Werner Ernst Noffke: Ottawa’s Architect, said “Powell House is one of the largest and most elaborate of his favorite style – the Spanish colonial revival – a style for which Noffke was well known in Ottawa.” Other buildings that will be featured in this year’s Doors Open Ottawa include the Embassy of the Republic of Armenia to Canada, which was renovated by Noffke in 1917 and 1922; the Mercury Court Building, which received additions designed by Noffke in 1930; Mother House Chapel of the Sisters of Charity of Ottawa, built in 1936 by Noffke, Lucien Leblanc, and general contractor Henri Dagenais; and St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, renovated by Noffke in 1948. This year’s Doors Open Ottawa will feature 130 buildings, many of which are not normally open to the public, including 20 that are new to the program or that have not been able to participate in over five years. History and architecture are at the heart of this event, and Noffke’s buildings have a big part in telling the city’s story. “Many of Noffke’s grand homes are perfect residences for embassies, because they offer such splendid spaces for entertaining and great detail in the staircases and woodwork,” states Ricketts.

Community - A park in Centretown will be taken over by more than 60 vendors this weekend, all who have one thing in common -- a do-it-yourself attitude. The Ravenswing Arts and Music Fair will turn Centretown’s Minto Park into an arts and music hub on May 24. The event, in its eighth year, is focused on celebrating creativity in Centretown. Co-founder of the fair Sean Zio is working with fellow artisan Lauren Potosky to get things up and running this year. “Everything we do at the fair is ‘do-it-yourself,’” Zio said. “The vendors make their goods by hand, the musicians are local and independent, and the skillsharing workshops teach people to be able to do more things on their own.” All the artists are local and Zio said many return year after year. “We have a wonderful group

ellery and Urbanite Jewelry, which make very stylish and contemporary pieces; and the resident fortune-teller Dot from Magickal Forest, which is always a popular table at the fair. In addition to the fan-favourites, Zio said this year they will also have a food truck, Lunch, onsite. For those wannabe artists in the city, Potosky said the workshops are the best way to get your feet wet. “We are offering three workshops this year, which we’re pretty excited about,” Potosky said. “We have two hands-on workshops, up cycled leather earrings and stencil printing.” Since the beginning, the fair has partnered with the Clothesline Project, a non-profit organization which aims to raise
awareness of violence against women. “We had actually rented the park for Ravenswing before they made their application and they asked if they could join us,” Zio said. “We were very happy to have them join us.” Zio said the organization has brought a lot of awareness to the artists group and has received a lot of feedback from both vendors and attendees about the cause. The project consists of putting up display T-shirts that are created by women and children who have been affected by violence. A full list of vendors, the workshop schedule and additional information about the fair is available at ravenswingottawa.tumblr.com.

According to the education experts at Oxford Learning, there are five main signs to watch for: • Children making comments such as: “the teacher picks on me”, “do I have to go to school today?”, or “this assignment is pointless.” • Daily homework not being completed. • Assignments and projects missed completely or submitted late. • Poor test scores and poor grades on projects and assignments. • Disinterest in school and school-related activities. Oxford Learning founder and CEO, Dr. Nick Whitehead, says that not all of these signs of school trouble have to happen at thesame time, but when one or more happens frequently, things may be getting off track. “The sooner that parents recognize the symptoms of school trouble and seek help for their children, the easier getting back on track and ending school troubles becomes.”

New carbon monoxide alarms last much longer News - Despite the life-saving protection they provide, carbon monoxide alarms remain largely overlooked. Research shows that just 40 per cent of Canadian homes have them. And questions arise like:
Who needs a CO alarm? Where should I install it? When do I need to replace it? Safety professionals tell us that one CSA-approved CO alarm should be installed on each storey. These alarms are especially
important outside bedrooms in homes with a gas or wood fireplace, a fuel-burning heating system, or if the home has an attached garage or carport. The CO alarm replacement question is not so straightforward, since different brands
have different lifespans ranging from five to seven years. Adding to the confusion are smoke alarms which need to be replaced every 10 years. Simplifying matters, safety product market leader Kidde has now updated all its CO
alarms with sensors certified to also last 10 years. This technology is the first of its kind in Canada. “Families can now have worry-free safety for an entire decade,” says Carol Heller, Kidde’s home safety specialist.
The alarms come in battery powered, plug-in and hardwired models. More information is available online at www. kiddecanada.com and www. safeathome.ca. News Canada

Outdoor theatre looking for summer volunteers Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
Arts - Students looking to pick up some extra volunteer hours this summer need to look only as far as their local park. Odyssey Theatre is offering students the opportunity to volunteer at the city’s outdoor theatre in Strathcona Park this summer for a variety of positions. According to general manager Dana Uzarevic, regardless of any particular student’s interest, there is a job at the production house for them. “There are many different opportunities,” Uzarevic said. “It always helps to get a few sentences to let us know what their interest is and we try to match it.” Everything from guest services to production is available, Uzarevic added, and there is typically no time limits to volunteering -- meaning theatre lovers can stay all summer, or those who are simply want to get their feet wet only have to do a two shifts of four hours. “We have volunteer who do come every night and it becomes part of their summer. We also have many returning volunteers, quite a few of them,” she said. Uzarevic credits the interest in their volunteer program to the company’s outdoor,
central location, which she said she believes offers students the opportunity to learn something new and enjoy the outdoors. For those who aren’t so keen on the outdoors, or spending time seating patrons, there is administrative work such as fielding phone calls, Uzarevic said. Apprenticeship program There is also an additional way for young theatre enthusiasts to become involved. Through the company’s Youth Apprenticeship Program, students get to experience a professional theatre company first hand. From stage directing, administration, acting and front of the house experience, these youth get the chance to learn as much as they can from Odyssey during the summer months. The program, which accepted applications up until May 15, Uzarevic said, is definitely a unique way for students to learn the tricks of the trade. “You don’t have to be a theatre professional, but just have to have a love for theatre or at least want to explore it,” she said. Uzarevic is in charge of the application process and encourages students to apply. “Even though the deadline has passed, I will still look at the applications,” she said.
“If we get a candidate that is really strong, we will make room for them in the program. I would also like to stress how much fun and what a fantastic experience it becomes.” Those who attend the program receive an end-of-thesummer honorarium for the work. Volunteers are encouraged to sign up as early in the summer as they can, but the company also accepts mid-summer applications too. For more information on the student programs offered at Odyssey, visit odysseytheatre.ca. Tickets are on sale now for The Odyssey Theatre’s 28th season of Theatre Under the Stars. This year’s show, The Financier (Turcaret) by AlainRené Lesage, will run from July 24 to August 24, Tuesday through to Sunday at 8 p.m. with pay-what-you-can matinees on Saturdays and Sundays at 3 p.m. All performances take place in Strathcona Park. Tickets can be purchased for $9 to $24 online, by phone at 613-232-8407, or email boxoffice@odysseytheatre.ca. Tickets will also be available at the door for $26. Tickets are also on sale for Odyssey Theatre’s youth matinees production, the Wind in the Willows by the Rag and Bone Puppet Theatre will take place on Aug. 6 and 13.

Marquette development has Vanier residents upset Residents worry ‘family street’ could change with four-storey apartment building
The councillor and the association also agreed to host a meeting with the developer and residents. The developer and owner of the two properties, Marc Larose, lives in the area and said the development of the property is intended to be a long-term investment for him and his family. He said the plan is to add affordable, rental housing to the neighbourhood. The units, which will vary in price, will range from $950 for a bachelor to $1,600 for a penthouse suite. There are also plans to have a communal landscaped amenity area above the ground floor. “We found that there is a very low vacancy rate with studio apartments,” Larose said. “With this proposal, we will be adding 11 studio apartments, to fill that need.” Larose said he welcomes feedback from the community. “The concerns of the community are something we want to address, and are looking to address,” Larose said. He added that the goal for this proposal is to attract to quality tenants. The full application is available on the city’s website, ottawa.ca.

The development in question will see two homes located at 67 and 71 Marquette Ave. into a four-storey apartment building.

The Community Activities Group launched its weekly barbecue event starting May 15. The organized event offers residents a chance to spend Thursday evenings with neighbours, hanging out in Brantwood Park.
Weekly Brantwood Park barbecue back for season Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
Community - Residents in Old Ottawa East have another reason to get outside this spring. Organized by the Community Activities Group, the weekly Brantwood Barbecue and Picnic kicked off on May 15 and will take place each Thursday from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. The goal the activities, the group said, is to bring the community together.
Hot dogs, hamburgers, veggie dogs and drinks are all available to purchase, with food and drink sales will support Community Activities Groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programs and events. Families are also encouraged to bring their own picnic if they wish. The weekly barbecue event began in 2012 and was created by the group as a way for residents to get out and meet each other. There will also be activities organized for the evening, including table tennis in the field
house, soccer, volleyball, as well as flag football equipment. The activities group asks only that those who sign out equipment put it away at the end of the evening. The barbecues will continue on Thursday evenings throughout the summer at the Brantwood Park field house, located at 39 Onslow Cres., from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Any cancellations due to weather will be posted on ottawaeastCAG.ca after 4:30 p.m. on the day of the event.

Local minister was a bit like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Memories
T
he Minister, I thought, was like two different people. I had an unbelievable fear of him when he was in church delivering what seemed to be an endless sermon with words that were completely above my head. I had no idea what he was talking about, and when we left the service to go to our Sunday school class, I lived in dread that the Sunday school teacher would ask me what I had learned that day from the sermon. Thankfully she was high on the Beatitudes and the Psalms, and that was usually what our lesson was about. The Minister was a whale of a man, and when he walked down the middle of the church to get to the pulpit, his shoes squeaked like fury, which Emerson said meant they hadn’t been paid for. How he knew that bit of information was beyond me. By the time the Minister had climbed into the pulpit, which was a round carved wood affair high above the pews, he was panting like he was going to take his last breath, and winter and summer the sweat poured off his face in little rivulets. He frowned a lot, and I always thought he was angry with the lot of us, or that he knew that some of us had committed some horrible sin. To emphasize a point, he pounded the rail of the pulpit with his bible that I was sure would one day fly out of his hand and hit me square on the head since we sat in the front pew, a few feet away. His wife, whom Mother said was a saint, sat ramrod straight, looking neither left nor right. Through perfect planning, Sunday school always ended at the exact time the last hymn was being sung in the church. Then we children marched back into the church, standing at the door where we were expected
next. Audrey would be sent to the smoke house and the chicken coop. She would come back with a roast and a link or two of sausages, and a small basket of fresh eggs. Everett would, without asking, have cornered
a fowl, pushed it squawking into a grain sack, and everything would be put in the Minister’s buggy. See MARY, page 75
“Getting Dementia to the Top of the Agenda:
Winning the Support of UK Prime Minister David Cameron” The British Alzheimer’s Society set an ambitious agenda to make living well with dementia a reality. And they enlisted the support of UK Prime Minister David Cameron to do it.
How? Are there lessons for us in Canada? British Alzheimer CEO Jeremy Hughes will be guest speaker at the Ottawa Alzheimer Society’s annual meeting and Saroj Lal Lecture. Date/Time: June 16, 2014 from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. Location: Ottawa Convention Centre, Trillium Ballroom Cost: $55/person includes a delicious luncheon. $400 for a table of 8.

to shake hands with the Minister. This scared the living starch out of me, convinced that he could read my mind and he would know every evil thought I had ever had in my head about Marguirite, and know ever sin I had ever committed. I couldn’t wait to get in the buggy and get back home to the farm. And often then, I would see another side to our Minister. I wasn’t sure if it was part of his duties as our spiritual leader, or if he just liked a good meal occasionally, but we could always count on a pastoral visit at least once every two weeks when the summer weather came. He didn’t own a car, but he did have a buggy, and an old nag of a horse that was much like our poor old Harry with the heaves. You could have walked in our lane faster than the Minister’s horse pulling the buggy. And he always came at our dinner time at noon. Mother would pump his hand, welcome him in, and my sister Audrey, without even being asked, would scrunch up the plates on the table, and make room for another place. Mother made no effort to tidy things up, or make the meal more fancy. We didn’t even get out the dishes that had come in puffed wheat. The only change was Mother sat between my sister Audrey and me, leaving the end of the table for the Minister. Father, of course, sat where he always did, at the other end. And instead of Father saying Grace, the Minister, on Mother’s invitation said the blessing, which was long and purposeful. Then I would see an entirely different man from the one I saw in the Lutheran church on Sunday. He and Father told jokes, slapping the table with the palm of their hands, and all the time, he was amply lading his plate with seconds and even third helpings of everything before him, which pleased Mother beyond words. Even a visitor the stature of the Minister, didn’t stop Father from pouring out his tea into his saucer to cool it off, and then drinking it. And as soon as the meal was over, Father got up from the table, Minister or not, and headed back out to the fields. Always, I knew what was going to happen

Mary remembers church’s characters Continued from page 73
The Minister would pump Mother’s hand, ruffle my hair, tell Audrey again how she was growing into a fine young woman, and my three brothers that he would see them in church, and then with great effort he would climb into the buggy, and the old horse without any direction from his owner, would turn in the yard and head out the lane. Audrey and I would help Mother clean up the kitchen and she would tell us how poor the Minister was, and how little he was paid, and that often he and his wife didn’t have enough money to buy food, and how they would rely on the generosity of the members of the Lutheran church to survive.
I knew the Depression was all around us, but I didn’t know anyone out in the country who didn’t have enough food for their table. I would watch the buggy disappear into the farthest reaches of the lane, and I would think again how the Minister was like two different people. The stern, no-nonsense man in the pulpit on a Sunday, and then there was the man who could laugh and mingle with the common folk around a kitchen table.

Quick loaf with crumble top makes for a great hostess gift just until combined. Spread the mixture into a parchment paper-lined or buttered 23 by 12-centimetre (nine by five-inch) metal loaf pan. Smooth the top of the mixture in the pan and sprinkle it with crumble-top. Bake in a 180 C (350 F) oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until a tester inserted in the centre comes out clean. Let the loaf cool in the pan on a rack for 15 minutes and then turn it out to cool down.

New park coming to Old Ottawa South Public session to help determine name, look of park Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com
News - With a new park set to be built in Old Ottawa South, residents will have the chance to contribute at an upcoming design session on June 7. Organized by Coun. David MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND A former Hydro Ottawa lot will be transformed into a park for Sunnyside Avenue Chernushenko, the session will include opportunities to residents. discuss what type of features the park could have. “The big questions is ‘what do we want to see there?’” Chernushenko said.
He said this park project was one of the first things he began to work on as a recently-elected city councillor back in 2011. Located at Woodbine Place and Carlyle Avenue, the former Hydro Ottawa lot was decommission in 2010 and area neighbours told the councillor they hoped the land could be turned into a park. “The wheels turned slowly and it was a tough sell, maybe not the best pun, but it was a tough sell to get the city to want to purchase the land,” he said. “Given the lack of money the city has, and the prime location in Old Ottawa South, it was certainly good news when Hydro Ottawa decided to donate the land to the city.” With $50,000 to work with

from the ward’s cash in lieu of parkland funding, Chernushenko said there are many things residents could look at doing with the small park. “The sky is certainly not the limit, given the funds, but there is a lot that can be done with the small space,”
The sky is certainly not the limit, given the funds, but there is a lot that can be done with the small space. DAVID CHERNUSHENKO
he said. Chernushenko said he’s most looking forward to the discussion surrounding the naming of the park. During the June 7 session, Old Ottawa South historian Kathy Krywicki will present some historical facts about the lot at Woodbine Place and Carlyle Avenue. “I dislike the idea of giving the park a generic name,” Chernushenko said. “I think it would be fun to learn about the history of the streets and have the park named after someone who did something exceptional for the area, someone we don’t already know about.” He said all the design ideas can be written, drawn or discussed. The councillor will collect all the ideas and said he and the city’s parks and recreation department will make the final decision on what will go in the park. As for timing, Chernushenko, who recently registered to run for re-election in the fall, said he hopes to get the design completed before the city goes to the polls, and depending on what the park will look like, work could start as early as this summer, or as late as next year. There will be two sessions on June 7, one from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and another from noon to 1 p.m. If residents cannot make it to the event, Chernushenko said they can email park@ capitalward.ca with ideas, drawings or a list of what they would like to see in the park. “We want to hear their ideas, any way, sketch what you like, send photos, anything.” Chernushenko said.
