Every time he accompanied their mother, Carol Mothersill, on the walk to Castlefrank Elementary School last year, Charlie wanted to stay with the other children.

“He was there with me, dropping

off or picking up,” says Carol. “So I’m not really worried about him today.”

It also helps that seven of Charlie’s friends from preschool are slated to be in his class with teacher Anne Labonté, who taught Alexandra last year.

“After we finished our interview

(with Mrs. Labonté), he cried,” says Carol, co-chair of the school council.

“Because he wanted to stay and play; He cried all the way home.”

But it wasn’t only the prospect of staying at school that had Charlie so thrilled on a Friday morning.

BIA to promote north Kanata

Letters

Green bin program stinks

Continued from page 3

Sudds told the crowd this is an opportunity to attract new talent and to promote prosperity among those already established. The BIA will be a “strong voice” with the city, the province and any partner organizations, she said.

“The Kanata North BIA was established to promote the area as a key centre of technology and innovation and enhancing its exposure and appeal. We are committed to helping local businesses grow and prosper through close collaboration and targeted promotion of the area.”

Since taking the helm back in July, Sudds has already dealt with numerous issues in the community, including graffiti removal, damage to a local bus stop, and comments on the city’s Official Plan as well as the sole-sourcing of the casino location.

Sudds said she wants to take a hands-on approach in her role.

To the editor:

John Chandler Kanata

SUPPORTING 69,000 WORKERS

Andrew Penny, president of Kingsford Consulting, said the BIA is properly positioned to reach a mass audience of 69,000 workers who before had no representation in north Kanata.

“We have a critical mass here,” he said. “That’s bigger than Cornwall, that’s bigger than Belleville.

These people come in every day; they bring their purchasing power, they bring their needs, they bring their problems into this community every day.”

Having an organization to repre*

sent the people who don’t live in the area but work there has been missing he said.

“Who looks out for us?” he asked.

“We need something of a catalyst, a connector, to bring that together, around which business of all kinds can collaborate, develop new ideas and really strengthen the community. And that really is the role that Jenna and the BIA are fulfilling for us.”

And with 29,000 residents living adjacent to the business improvement area, with average household incomes of $117,000, the Kanata north business community “is blessed,” Penny said. “We’ve got a very, very fertile eco-system here in Kanata north.

“We’ve got an eager, aggressive, fun-seeking community. We’ve got a high degree of confidence in our abilities just to think our way through any sort of problem that comes our way ... Kanata north’s tagline is success happens here. Now

GEOFF BOBBIE Mc GOWAN

success means a lot of things to a lot of people. But really, no matter how you define it, there’s no doubt in my mind that we’ve got everything we need here for exceptional growth and outstanding success.”

The Kanata North BIA will set up shop later this month in Suite 232 at 555 Legget Dr. Although Sudds said she expects to be out in the community much of the time, she wants to create regular business hours when people can drop by to talk or discuss any issues in person.

The BIA is also looking for people to join its transportation committee to identify any issues in the community, such as a lack of OC Transpo service or if there is a desire to add bicycle lanes. The group is also looking to fill a position on its board of directors with a person who has a background in financial services at its annual general meeting, scheduled for Nov. 28.

Re: Stop Dumping Trash in Parks, Aug. 29, KKS. Don’t hold your breath.

If you want people to stop dumping trash in the park, then reinstate weekly garbage collection.

No rocket science here.

Going to bi-weekly collection was an ugly attempt at arm twisting us into using the silly green bin and I for one resent it.

The green bin program is failing, badly, but the city has so over-committed itself to his questionable program that it can’t admit what a mess it has become.

That is not honest or effective government and its lousy science.

Thanks to this unworkable idea, I can barely open the door to the garage without spraying some room deodorizer to cover up the stench.

There is no need for me to have to live like this. None.

Whether the biologic trash rots away in an overpriced “recycling” facility or in the dump is irrelevant.

It will happily rot in either place and go back to the earth.

The dump, however, is much less pricey.

You will not save the planet by moving a pork chop bone from the dump to the enviro-dump, nor will you save any money.

The city always seems to choose the greater of two evils when it comes to this kind of thing and the green bin is a good example.

I sympathize with people who have trash to get rid of but live in a town where their trash collection needs come second to bogus environmental theory.

Perhaps if more people dumped their trash in public places we could get the city to listen to us and do something about this foolish situation.

However, I have learned that when it comes to getting Ottawa politicians to listen to the voters on environmental policy you had better not to hold your breath, even though you may have to, given the stink.

“I want to meet each and every business here; I want to know what your business has to offer and what your business challenges are,” she said. “I encourage all of you to get involved. The Kanata North BIA is your BIA. Your feedback is critical to our ability to provide relevant and effective service to Kanata north.”

Divorce Straight Talk

When asked what he is most excited about, Charlie answers “Waffles!” and tears off toward the kitchen where the delicious aromas are already wafting from.

Because Carol and her husband Stéphane have been through the routine before, the morning schedule is already well established. A hearty breakfast of homemade waffles – complete with syrup, raspberries, blueberries and strawberries – is already in the works by 7 a.m., while the children are dressed in their back-to-school best with their hair combed and book bags packed.

Stéphane pours coffee and asks the younger children if they want to show off their backpacks. Both run out of the room to collect their bags before sitting on the living room floor for a session of show and tell.

Charlie’s is grey and black and sports a dog tag with his full name, while Alexandra’s is pink and grey and decorated with butterflies. Both bags contain a plastic bag with a change of clothes that will stay at school and another baggie containing a communication book where their parents and teachers can write notes back and forth.

They both proudly show off their lunch bags – her’s a lady bug, his a monkey – and the containers that will contain their atschool snacks.

“I’ll fill them with the fruit left over from breakfast,” says Carol. They also get little muffin-like snacks to help tide them over until lunch. It’s a half-day for kindergarten-

ers, with Castlefrank bringing in full-day kindergarten by 2014.

As part of new measures to deal with classroom overcrowding in Kanata public schools, Castlefrank moved to a junior kindergarten to Grade 3 structure this year, while Katimavik Elementary School will pick up grades 4 to 6. Both are offering dual-track English and French classes.

“Alex’s (classes) will be 100 per cent French,” says Stéphane. “And Charlie will have French class but it’s not all French.”

I’m not worried. He was ready to go last year.

CAROL MOTHERSILL

“C’est bon,” says Charlie, showing off his French language abilities.

During breakfast Alexandra and Charlie talk about seeing their friends on the walk to school, their new teachers, and a special shortcut through the woods. Charlie asks for another waffle; he clearly has no newschool-butterflies in his stomach.

After eating, Nicholas takes his younger siblings to wash and brush up, before everyone bundles onto the front step for the traditional first-day-of-school photos. Nicholas, a Grade 10 student at Franco-Ouest Catholic school, is a real help in the mornings, says Carol, adding he usually helps the youngsters get ready.

Once the family photos have been taken, Alexandra and Charlie hug Stéphane on the front step. They wave goodbye, then run off to join Carol for the 10-minute walk from their Katimavik home.

On the walk they point out items of interest: a large rock along the path through the woods, a man on a riding lawn mower and the many yellow school buses driving along the busy road. They both test out their balance on a retaining wall along the sidewalk, showing off the skills they learned in gymnastics.

“Arms out, like on the balance beam,” says Carole. Both children comply, placing one foot in front of the other, with earsplitting grins on their faces. As they hop down, their smiles grow wider when they spot some friends coming out of a nearby house.

Alexandra and Charlie run over to say hi, and then move away as the ritual of first-

day-of-school photos is repeated. Once complete, everyone moves off for the final steps towards the school.

The mothers discuss how their morning went while the children run ahead to the playground in back of the school, already teeming with young students.

The children drop their bags and run into the fray.

Parents watch from the other side of the chain-link fence separating the junior play structure from the rest of the yard. Teachers walk around, handing out colour co-ordinated tags to the students who walk or take the bus. The yard is filled with laughter and the sound of running feet.

The bell rings at 8:30 a.m., signalling the start of the school day. The children find their backpacks and line up in their respective classes behind their teachers. Parents wave goodbye as the students file into the school; there are no tears from either group this morning.

“I’m not worried,” says Carole, as she turns to walk back towards home and enjoy a hot cup of coffee in a quiet home. “He was ready to go last year.”

A DAY OF FIRSTS

Inside, the students find their hook with their name above it, hang up their bags, coats and change their shoes before entering their new classroom that will be a second home until June. Charlie can’t quite reach to get his bag on the hook but his friend Marcus Landon, 4, comes to his rescue.

The students move into the classroom and Mrs. Labonté instructs them to find their name on the carpet.

They scurry around, looking for the telltale letters that spell out their names. Most find their moniker and take a seat, but another little boy sits in front of Charlie’s space until Mrs. Labonté helps him find his own.

She moves around the circle, having each child say his or her name. Then Mrs. Labonté has the other students answer with a hello.

“What does this name say?” she asks Charlie.

“Charlie,” he answers.

“Can you boys and girls say ‘Hi, Charlie?’” she asks the class.

They respond with a chorus of “Hi, Charlie!”

“Amazing,” says Mrs. Labonté.

SO

Introductions complete, the teacher moves on to what will become a five-day-a-week ritual for the new students.

“Now every morning when we come in this is what we’re going to do: we’re going to change our shoes, we’re going to sit on the carpet; I’ll have a little talk with you and then we’ll get to some school work, then we get to have a snack, then we’re going to go to French, then we get to play,” says Mrs. Labonté. “So there’s a lot of stuff going on.

“What we’re going to do first though, we have to take the attendance down to the office.

This is a very special yellow book.”

The class goes on a mini-field trip to the office to drop off the attendance book, followed by an impromptu stop in the library and a lesson in walking in single file. The students’ heads whip around, looking everywhere at once, trying to take it all in. The line disintegrates.

“This isn’t a line, this is a blob,” she says to the students, helping them get back into a single file.

Although the students don’t quite master a line on the first

try, Mrs. Labonté says one of her favourite parts of teaching is seeing the change in students from the first day of class to the last. It’s amazing how much they pick up in 10 months, she says.

And already on the first day the students have learned quite a bit. They learned the names of eight other classmates, the basics of walking in a single-file line, and where the office, library and gymnasium are located. They also learned a special song that tells them when they need to sit still: “If you hear me say ‘crisscross apple sauce, spoons in the bowl’ this is how you sit,” says Mrs. Labonté, showing the students how to sit cross-legged with their hands in their laps.

The students mimic her.

“Charlie knows how to do it,” she says, and goes around the circle praising the class.

Mrs. Labonté gets the class to loosen up with a sing-a-long of Old MacDonald, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Row Your Boat.

“We’re going to sing a lot of songs at school,” she says, before the children are let loose at the activity tables.

Keep an eye out for the kids

I

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that time of the year again when Ottawa motorists start seeing a lot more yellow on the road in the morning.

Starting in September, fleets of school buses flood our streets as children return to elementary and high schools.

Most schools welcome students back the day after Labour Day, but the French public and Catholic boards opened a week earlier.

The colour yellow in motoristâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s language always translates to one word: caution.

Motorists must keep their eyes open for children waiting on street corners.

Kids will be kids, which usually means they are in constant motion.

We must always remember the first rule of defensive driving: expect the unexpected.

Children tend to offer a lot of unexpected behaviour, which occasionally involves a mad dash across the street chasing a ball or a friend waiting at a bus stop.

Drivers would do well to drive a little more slowly the first few weeks of September.

They might also want to reacquaint themselves with the rules of driving when approaching a stopped school bus with its lights flashing.

The flashing lights mean cars must come to a halt to allow children to board the bus.

It also allows children and parents to safely cross the street.

By law, traffic in both directions must stop anytime a school bus is stopped with its overhead alternating signal lights flashing.

Yes, this causes delays, but the dangers of stealing back a few seconds of commute time by sneaking past a school bus with its signal lights flashing can be tragic. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just not worth it.

If the danger of hitting a child with your vehicle isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reason enough, failing to stop for a school bus can result in a $400 to $2,000 fine upon conviction and six demerit points given to a motoristâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license.

And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only for a first conviction.

Each subsequent offence can result in fines ranging from $1,000 to $4,000 together with six demerit points and possible imprisonment up to six months.

Staying alert while behind the wheel and being aware of the rules of the road governing school buses is everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsibility.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all winners if we educate ourselves about the rules of the road and school bus safety.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s have a chat about sports team names

H

aving an intelligent discussion about offensive sports team names is easier if you concede right away that the teams donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean any harm.

The Nepean Redskins, when they adopted their name in 1981, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean to offend anybody. If anything, they probably wanted to honour the Washington Redskins, a National Football League team, whose logo is virtually identical.

Nobody meant to denigrate native people.

Nobody probably thought much about it. Team names are adopted, people cheer for the team and not much thought is given to what the team is called. I mean, the Ottawa Senators? Has anybody really thought about it? No fan thinks when he yells â&#x20AC;&#x153;Go Senators!â&#x20AC;? of Mike Duffy or Pamela Wallin.

The official explanation, that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Senatorsâ&#x20AC;? refers to ancient Roman Senators, might be even more ridiculous. Why would a hockey team in the Ottawa Valley be named after some Romans? Romans never played hockey.

Ottawa is about to have a football team called the RedBlacks. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think many people, if any, know what a RedBlack is, but we will dutifully cheer for such a team. Probably, because names get shortened when yelled from the bleachers, we will be chanting â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town go, Reds.â&#x20AC;? A few decades ago that could have been troublesome, as seen below.

In the context of the Redskins discussion, it should be noted that there are some team names that are happily accepted by native organizations, such as the Seminoles of Florida State University. But for the most part, times have changed. Over the last couple of decades, team after team has either abandoned names such as Redskins or Braves or Indians or changed mascots and logos to more neutral characterization.

The Atlanta Braves and the Cleveland Indians both used to have an allegedly native face on their caps â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Indian one was grinning, the Braves one was screaming. Now members of the Cleveland Indians have a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Câ&#x20AC;? on their caps and the Atlanta Braves have an â&#x20AC;&#x153;A.â&#x20AC;?

mascot used to be the Stanford Indian. Now it is the Stanford Cardinal. In Ottawa, our new professional basketball team was going to be called the TomaHawks, for about a minute.

Very soon after the announcement was greeted with a chorus of outrage, the TomaHawks (whose name was meant to honour a type of dunk) became the SkyHawks.

As for the Washington Redskins, they carry on, but more than a few news organizations refuse to use their name in game stories. The Redskins are called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Washington.â&#x20AC;?

So if political correctness is behind the attempt to get the Redskins to change their name, well, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of it around, all over North America. And on the odd occasion being correct just simply means being right.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true that some name changes have not been particularly well-motivated. In the early 1950s, baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cincinnati Reds changed to the Cincinnati Redlegs. This is because of the Communist scare associated with Sen. Joseph McCarthy. Communists were often called â&#x20AC;&#x153;redsâ&#x20AC;? and the owners of the baseball team decided that discretion was the better part of valour. Within a few years, Sen. McCarthy went away and the Cincinnati Reds reclaimed their name.

Aside from the financial aspect (which the

main complainer has offered to help with), there doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to be much of a downside to the Nepean Redskins choosing an acceptable name. Theirs was a borrowed name in the first place and a Rename the Redskins contest might generate some new interest in the team.

Such a contest might produce some names that resonate with our Ottawa Valley heritage.

Senators is already taken and somebody somewhere might have the rights to Rough Riders.

Nobody wants anything to do with Renegades any more, but somebody with imagination should be able to come up with something.

Think lumber, not politics.

The hidden cost of full-day kindergarten

M

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse This year, the numbers are expected to be pushed higher, with increased enrolment as parents feel the pressure to get their kids into the full-day program or risk having them left behind their peers. School boards are pushed to the brink fiscally, with no choice but to milk the no cap rule. Most parents I know aren’t happy that their four and five-yearold kids are not being closely supervised. Teachers don’t like it much either.

“What’s it going to take for them to realize they can’t have 40 kids this age in a single class with just two adults?” asked one primary school teacher friend. “It’s going to take a kid choking on their lunch because nobody’s monitoring them.”

Another outcome not mentioned in the joint university study is the link between large class sizes and bullying. One can’t flip through a newspaper these days without finding an article about the rise of bullying, even among the youngest groups of school-aged kids.

Historical studies on daycare centres – where there is a ratio of one adult for every eight children for 2.5-to-6-year-olds – have found that young kids in daycare centres tend to be more aggressive when they get to school than kids who have stayed home with parents, or those who have been in a home daycare environment, where ratios are lower. This makes sense if you think about masses of kids vying for the attention of a single adult.

Another problem with fullday kindergarten is that we now have kids sitting still indoors from younger and younger ages for longer and longer periods of time. This is notably bad for their physical and intellectual health, evidenced by the rise in overweight kids and the lack of creativity in our adult workforce. But, as one Nordic study found, the rigidity of play in this environment has another negative side effect.

Kids that play in structured environments, the

authors of the study noted, are more likely to establish hierarchies, where there is an increased likelihood of bullying, when compared to kids that engage in free play in more natural environments.

In the latter, the researchers noted evidence of rotating hierarchies – that is to say, every kid gets a chance to play king of the castle.

So go ahead and feel fuzzy about the early findings that tout the benefits of full-day learning for young kids. Certainly, your kids will learn to stand in line, do rote learning, write their names and read paragraphs from early readers.

They may even make friends, just by virtue of the fact they’re not at home watching television on their own.

But until the government rectifies the large class sizes and the rigid, largely indoor curriculum, we should all be wary of justifying the billions of tax dollars being allocated to this experiment.

Come for the experience…

any parents are feeling anxious as their children continue the staggered start into full-day kindergarten, with the Ontario government in the final stage of the program’s roll-out.

There’s been a lot published to make parents feel good about the decision to send their kids to full-day kindergarten.

A recent study from two Ontario universities found that children who had been in the pilot full-day program for two years – most of whom were from “vulnerable” groups in society – were better socialized and had improved language skills by grade one, compared to those who’d only attended full-day for one year, or those who had half-day kindergarten.

It gave parents a warm, fuzzy feeling, especially to see highlights from this study published on the front page of a national newspaper the day after Labour Day. Unfortunately, there are a lot of potential downsides to full-day kindergarten that aren’t getting enough analysis in the media. One thing that hasn’t made headlines is the lack of caps on the number of four and five-year-old kids per classroom.

Take a walk down to your local school. I guarantee kindergarten won’t resemble those provincially-funded television ads at all. (You know, the ones where, like, eight cute kids are building box houses under teacher’s supervision and finger-painting with smiles on their faces)? Nope, it doesn’t look like that. Not in this city, anyway.

One public school in the city’s east end running the pilot last year, for example, had 36 little ones in a single room with one teacher and one early childhood educator. As a parent described, “it was complete chaos every day.”

News - Construction season isn’t over in Kanata as repairs got underway on Eagleson Road on Sept. 9.

A 2.6-kilometre stretch of roadway is being resurfaced while select repairs will be done to areas of the sidewalk on Eagleson between Cope Drive and Hazeldean Road.

Crews will work on the northbound lanes first, before moving on to the southbound side.

There will be intermittent lane closures, which will have a “high impact on traffic,” said the city in a

news release.

The city said it’s aiming to complete to project by November, but the exact date is dependent on weather conditions. Motorists are being encouraged to choose an alternate route and some of the work will create rough road surfaces that may pose an inconvenience to cyclists.

Eagleson Road will remain accessible during the construction, and signage will be posted to help motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.

The Eagleson Road rehabilitation is part of the city’s Ottawa on the Move project, a $340-million city program aimed at ensuring there are a number of transportation choices for people before major construction of the light-rail line begins and ahead of Canada’s 150th birthday celebrations in 2017.

Schools struggle to meet demand for dyslexia testing In the second of a three-part series, we look at the resources available for children with dyslexia at Ottawa’s public and Catholic schools Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Tracy Armstrong noticed something was wrong when her daughter was in Grade 1.

Her daughter, who was in a French immersion class at a local public school, was having trouble learning to read.

She isn’t alone. A study done by the American National Institute for Health says that nearly 20 per cent of the population has dyslexia. The International Dyslexia of Association Ontario branch, places that number at 15 to 20 per cent of the population. That breaks down to four or five children in each classroom who have some degree of the learning disability.

“One in five kids have dyslexia, they should be doing better,” Armstrong said of the school boards in Ottawa.

Armstrong, who lives in Nepean, said her daughter’s first grade teacher wasn’t receptive to what she felt were warning signs of the learning disability.

Most parents don’t notice anything is amiss until school starts, but according to “Challenging the Myths: Erasing the Stigma of Dyslexia”, written by private school founder Shelley Holloway, they start much earlier.

It can start with the late development of talking compared to their peers and difficulty learning the names for shapes, colours, letters and numbers. Even poor articulation – like saying “gispetti” instead of spaghetti, can be an early red flag.

Holloway began her research into dyslexia after volunteering to help read to children at her son’s school.

“It was Grade 1 and he wouldn’t remember from day to day what sound a letter would make, we made very little progress,” Holloway said, adding there wasn’t a lot of support available then.

Dr. Tim Hogan, the head psychologist for the Ottawa public school board, said there are a number of reasons a child would have trouble reading in Grade 1, and letter reversals may not yet be a cause for concern.

“In Grade 1, I would say about 40 per cent of the cohort would experience those problems to some extent,” he said. “Teachers will try to correct mislabeling letters or associating them with the wrong sound. If we continue to see they’re not sorting it out in Grade 2 then we might look to other methods.”

But Armstrong said the longer the school waited, the more difficult things became for her daughter.

“We had a much more receptive teacher in Grade 2 but we didn’t want to wait any longer so we had her tested privately,” Armstrong said.

This testing is the coveted psychological assessment that would help to determine whether or not her daughter had a learning disability. The tests are done by the school boards, but the wait lists are long and many parents get frustrated with lengthy waits and subsequent barriers to in-school resources so they seek assessments from private psychologists – either paying out of pocket or using health insurance if they have it. Armstrong said the first test she had done cost $2,200.

Hogan said that while he feels the Ottawa public board is one of the better-resourced systems in the province, many parents are stepping outside the system to get their kids tested.

Hogan said there are 23 full-time equivalent psychologist positions within the public board.

There are an additional 30 speech and language pathologists that serve the board’s more than 100 schools.

Hogan said typically each psychologist is responsible for up to eight elementary schools, based on the school population and the needs, and they may spend half a day per week at each school, or one day every two weeks.

“Each school identifies five priority students each year to be assessed,” he said, adding a psychologist’s job within the board involves a lot more than just doing assessments.

There is no set list of criteria, determining which student is picked for assessment, and the testing would look for markers of any of the Ministry of Education’s 14 defined exceptionalities – everything from the gifted to autism.

Linda Barbetta, head of the Learning Disabilities Association of Ottawa Carleton, whose three children all have varying degrees of dyslexia, said she suspects the children who act out are the ones who get placed on the list.

“The student who is suffering silently at the back of the class won’t get noticed,” she said.

Hogan said learning disability classes are not meant to serve as a placeholder for students with behavioural problems. He added more parents seem to be coming to the school with assessments in hand.

“I don’t know if the issue is more prevalent or there are more private psychologists available,” he said.

“But special programs and resources can be made available before the formal testing.”

Chief psychologist for the Ottawa Catholic school board, Elizabeth Paquette, said from the school’s perspective, the first step for intervention with a reading difficulty is not psychological resources or intervention.

“First we would do remedial reading, give the student extra time to

A study performed by the American National Institute for Health says that nearly 20 per cent of the population has dyslexia. process for tests and rule out other potential learning disabilities,” she said.

There are 11 full-time equivalent psychologist positions in the Catholic board and each would be responsible for 10 schools. Much like the public board, each school identifies five priority students each fall to be tested.

“We would look at students who are very withdrawn and don’t want to be in school,” she said.

Paquette said while an assessment doesn’t have to be done for an individualized education plan, it must be done for the learning disability classes available for grades 4, 5 and 6 students.

“The system classes are more strategy based,” Paquette said.

Paquette said she has been working in the school system for 25 years and the diagnostic tools are becoming more refined, but the assessments have also become more complex.

“There are challenges, there is a bigger caseload now,” she said.

No matter what test is done, the results will never be listed under what Armstrong feels is the proper name for the condition. Dyslexia is not in the diagnostic manual used by psychologists, meaning many are reluctant to use the term. As a result, it is often referred to as a language-based learning disability.

Barbetta, says she thinks the broad-based term does a disservice to students.

“It’s too generic and focuses on accommodation rather than remedia-

tion,” she said. “I think it would be very costly to educate teachers on dyslexia and the teaching methods though if the school boards started to use the term.”

Hogan said in the early days of his professional career, the term dyslexia was still being used.

“It’s no longer a DSM (diagnostic manual) classification, but that doesn’t mean the phenomena has changed,” he said. “In all likelihood, it’s a learning disability with a neurological basis.”

Hogan said focusing on the fact that the child has a reading problem and has difficulty with language or math skills, should direct the student to the resources.

But Rob Kirwan, who heads the public board’s special education advisory committee, said with the growing number of recognized learning disabilities and dwindling funding, resources are tough to get.

“It becomes a case of pitting kids with ADD (attention deficit disorder) against kids with autism as they compete for dollars,” he said.

The testing process can also be complex to navigate.

“A parent who is just struggling to pay the rent or that is new to the country, may not recognize that a student is having trouble learning to read,” Kirwan said.

Holloway, founder of Mindware Academy, a private school for children with learning disabilities, said that people with dyslexia require specific one-to-one remediation.

“Schools often lack the time, the money and the specific skills to offer such remediation,” she said.

“But by labeling the condition as language difficulty, schools are free to use other methods of remediation.”

Holloway says these methods have little to no success with the dyslexia learner.

Based on her experience, Armstrong said she agreed.

“The first test was kind of inconclusive,” Armstrong said.

“It showed she had a strong likelihood for having a learning disability.”

The test recommended Armstrong’s daughter, who was enrolled in French immersion and was having difficulty learning a second language, switch to the English stream.

The test also indicated difficulty with reading, writing and working memory – all common traits for someone with dyslexia.

Armstrong’s daughter was moved to an English program, but there weren’t many supports in place.

In the meantime, her daughter became introverted and quiet.

“Her anxiety was extremely high,” Armstrong said. “When (students) are anxious, they can’t learn. They are on overload.”

Despite her concerns, Armstrong said she was dismissed by the school and even some of her friends.

“I had people tell me that if I wasn’t so stressed out then maybe she could read better,” Armstrong said.

By Grade 4, Armstrong said she still felt everyone was dismissing the situation.

She was asked if her daughter was born late in the year – she’s a January baby, or if her daughter was getting enough reading practice at home.

“Meanwhile her personality started to change,” Armstrong said of her daughter, who began to sleep less and withdraw at school.

There were supports in place, but Armstrong said they often left her daughter feeling isolated.

“One teacher discovered that if she was tested orally, she would perform much better because she wasn’t limited by her writing,” Armstrong said.

“But they would make her answer the questions on a recorder in the hallway by herself. How must that have made her feel?”

At the beginning of Grade 4 she had her tested again.

The same psychologist who saw her in Grade 2 retested to fill in the blanks.

“She came back right away with a diagnosis of dyslexia, and I thought we would get all this support because now I had a diagnosis,” Armstrong said.

But that wasn’t the case.

In-class accommodations were varying depending on the teacher and the reading support wasn’t there, Armstrong said.

“Because she was in Grade 4 and they don’t teach them to read after Grade 3,” she said.

Gap in girl’s reading, writing ability greater than originally thought Continued from page 11

Jennifer McIntosh/Metroland

Mindware Academy, a specialized private school designed for children with dyslexia, attention deficit disorder and Asperger’s syndrome opened in 2004.

Shelley Holloway, the founder, started the school because she felt those children’s needs weren’t being met in the regular school system.

So Armstrong and her husband decided to spend $3,000 on a private, week-long course called the Gift of Dyslexia. The course uses multi-sensory teaching techniques.

“Basically, there’s 220 words in the English language that don’t have a picture associated with them. The point is to find a way to teach them those words. It’s clay and picture based.”

For the first time ever Armstrong

said her daughter felt like someone understood her style of learning.

But the success was short lived.

“I would go into her school and work with her when she would have been having French class,” Armstrong said, adding by then she had quit work to be available to help with her daughter’s schooling. “But we found that unless she was doing it everyday and it was incorporated into her schoolwork, it wasn’t helping.”

By Grade 5, Armstrong knew

the gap between her daughter’s reading and writing ability was greater than the school thought.

She refused to sign the school’s individualized education plan because she felt the supports weren’t working.

Another test showed she was right.

“I was shocked when they told me they didn’t want to change anything,” Armstrong said, adding the school told her they felt they could close the gap the next school year.

“She’s always loved school though, that’s the weird part, Armstrong said. “If only teachers could channel that and teach her the way she needs to learn, then she would soar.”

By the time her daughter hit Grade 6, Armstrong said she had had enough and enrolled her daughter in a private school designed to help kids with dyslexia and other learning disabilities.

Now she’s in Grade 8, and while there’s still a gap, they’re working with the school to close it.

“The best part now is she knows she’s not alone,” Armstrong said, adding her daughter is much more confident.

“It’s not the academic piece as much as the confidence, because once you shatter a kid, it’s very hard to build them back up.”

But the tuition cost $15,000 a year.

“I feel fortunate we can afford it,” Armstrong said. “If she has dreams we want her to be able to realize them. But I feel very let down by the public school system.”

From tutoring methods to tax credits, Armstrong said she plans to start a website to help other parents who are navigating the path from diagnosis to remediation.

“I feel like we made some mistakes along the way, so if we can take away the learning curve for other parents then I feel good about that.”

In the final installment of the series, we will examine some of the options for parents in the community to help children with dyslexia.

CHARLIE HUNNAM out, fans of the show need not despair.

As a special add on, Hunnam’s castmates Flannagan and Mark Boone (Bobby) will join him Sept. 15 for a fall motorocycle ride.

The ride cost $25 and will include a breakfast. Kickstands will go up at 11 a.m. for the scenic ride with the three actors riding as grand marshals for the event.

After the ride, participants as well as the public are welcome back to Goulet Motorsports for lunch. The event will be licensed and music will be provided

by Texarillo.

Around 1 p.m. Hunnam and company will be available for photo sessions on a first come, first served basis.

Younkie said this will mark the first time the three Sons stars are in Canada at the same time.

The sixth season of Sons of Anarchy began Sept. 10 with Hunnam reprising his role of Jax Teller, president of the outlaw motorcycle club’s Redwood Original Chapter. Boone plays the vicepresident of the club and Flannagan plays the Sgt.-at-arms.

“We expected around 125 or 150 to take part in the ride. We have 580 people taking part,” he said.

Goulet Motorsports is located at 189 John St. in Hawkesbury.

Events – It will be 50 shades of anarchy in Hawkesbury Sept. 14-15.

That’s when Charlie Hunnam, star of the FX television show Sons of Anarchy and newly named to play Christian Grey in the movie adaptation of E.L. James 50 Shades of Grey, visits Goulet Motorsports Harley-Davidson in the eastern Ontario community.

Hunnam’s first time visit to the community follows sold-out visits from former Sons cast member Ryan Hurst (Opie) in March and current cast member Tommy Flannagan (Chibs) in June.

Hunnam, 33, will be at Goulet Motorsports Sept. 14 from 5-10 p.m. for a meet and greet, autograph signing and dinner under a big tent outdoors.

The cast visits to Hawkesbury are a partnership between Goulet Motorsports and Full Throttle Events. Full Throttle is a promotions company based in Lachute, Que. organizing exclusive meet and greet events with stars of the show.

“It was an idea that I had when I first met the cast (of Sons of Anarchy) in Texas … they were excited about it,” explained John Younkie of Full Throttle Events. “And then we expanded it nationally. We travel all over Canada.”

Younkie, who buys his motorcycles from Goulet Motorports, said the partnership with his home dealership was a natural thing. From there, the VIP meet and greets expanded to other Harley dealerships across Canada. And the events attract patrons willing to pay anywhere from $125 to $250 for the chance to rub shoulders with their favourite television outlaws.

As for Hunnam, Younkie says fans are in for a treat as the British-born actor is a real people person who loves doing these events.

“He is a real down to earth kind of guy. He enjoys meeting the fans,” Younkie said.

Community - Twenty-two cyclists put their feet to the pedals, riding out of the parking lot in front of the Stittsville Bushtukah store for the first leg of a 270-kilometre journey on Sept. 4.

Among them was Clive Doucet, former city councillor and author. His neighbour, Bonnie Johnston, inspired him to take part in the Ride to Turn the Tide for the first time.

“My name on this ride really isn’t Clive,” he told the crowd of cyclists, and the family and friends who came to wave them off. “It’s Bonnie Johnston.”

Johnston is the block grandmother on Doucet’s street in the Glebe. With her own grandchildren far away, she’s adopted many of the youth in her area.

“A lot of the kids on the street call her grandmother,” said Doucet.

“She’d want to be here, but unfortunately she can’t.”

So he’s riding as her proxy.

“I’m here because of her,” he said.

The Grassroot Grannies, a Kanatabased group of grandmothers, grandfathers and grand-others, kicked off the fourth-annual Ride to Turn the Tide on Sept. 4. The grey skies broke and the clouds stopped raining as the group prepared to set out on its threeday bike trek.

Anthony Woods, formerly from Kanata and a current Barrhaven resident, donned his cycling gear for the second year.

“It’s a great group of grandmothers doing great things for a great cause,” said Woods, who is not a grandparent but a father. He joined the bike group to support his mother, Lina.

“It’s a fun opportunity to go out with my mom for three days,” said Woods. “I just try to keep up with her.”

Aside from a bonding experience, taking part is also beneficial for the stomach.

“The food is amazing,” Woods said. “It’s three days of getting fed by grandmothers.”

The trek takes the group from Kanata to Perth, via Ashton, Appleton and Almonte, through Merrickville and Metcalfe, and back to Kanata.

There was talk about switching up the route this year, but Nancy Hough said everyone enjoys visiting with their counterparts throughout the Ottawa Valley. The Kanata group is hosted by the Mississippi Grannies in Almonte, the Lanark County Grannies in Perth, the United Church Women in Merrickville, and Grannies All About Kids in Metcalfe.

Hough, a Stittsville resident, a grandmother and a founder of the annual cycling event, said the ride is a chance to renew friendships with the various other grandparent organizations throughout Ottawa and the Valley, while helping a cause close to the heart.

The Ride to Turn the Tide supports the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign, which raises funds and awareness for African grandmothers raising

their orphaned grandchildren who have lost their parents to AIDS. The Grassroot Grannies raised more than $44,000 this year – surpassing the goal of $40,000 and bringing the four-year total to more than $146,000.

The foundation estimates that between 40 to 60 per cent of African AIDS orphans live with their grandmothers.

“I’m proud of my age-mates to not give up and fight for a better world,” said Doucet. “That’s a great thing.”

The group returned on Sept. 6 and were given an enthusiastic welcome home by friends and family, the local

councillors and the mayor.

“Strong head winds, a few showers and some cooler weather did not dampen the spirits of the 22 Grassroot Grannies and friends,” said Shirley Mander, a member of the group.

“The success of this ride can be measured in many different ways,” she added. “First, the warmth and caring support of the other Granny Groups who welcomed the participants with friendship and food … Secondly, the generous support of family, friends, and corporate sponsors.

“It is very heart-warming to realize that by working together, positive change can be accomplished.”

Glen Cairn transformed from a junior kindergarten to Grade 8 school to one that takes in only students in grades 7 and 8 (although this year it accepted a small cohort of Grade 6 students), with children coming from three feeder elementary schools: John Young Public, Bridlewood Community Elementary and Roch Carrier Elementary.

School introduces phoenix as Glen Cairn`s new logo Continued from page 16

The changes were the result of recommendations from an accommodation review study, passed by the Ottawa public school board in 2012, designed to reduce overcrowding in Kanata schools.

On the first day of school, Smith introduced a new logo to the students: the phoenix, a mythical bird symbolizing change and rebirth.

The principal also read from

a plaque she keeps attached to the side of her desk.

“Life isn’t about finding yourself,” it reads. “Life is about creating yourself.”

Smith said she hopes the message resonates with her students.

“I really want the kids to understand that here they have the opportunity to create themselves,” she said.

To build a sense of community, Smith decided to mix the classes up a bit during meal “That was way to easy!”

The middle school principal created six houses, a mix of grades 6, 7 and 8 students from both English and French Immersion.

“They eat in their houses instead of their home rooms,” she said.

“We didn’t want just the English kids hanging out with the English kids and the French immersion kids hanging out with the French immersion kids,” she said.

One particular fair left a lasting impression

W

eeks had passed since the Renfrew Fair, but I couldn’t get the picture out of my mind.

It haunted me when I lay in bed at night and many times during the day.

Had Uncle Lou not sent Mother money with the sole purpose of taking us five children to the Renfrew Fair, there is a good chance we may not have gone that year. Mother said money was scarcer than hen’s teeth and that year we may have to miss the fair.

It would have been the first time ever and how Uncle Lou knew of our situation is beyond me. But he always seemed to be there with a helping hand when we needed it most.

So crisp bills arrived in the mail. Not American, even though Uncle Lou lived in New York, but Canadian money simply sent in an envelope with a note scrawled on a piece of note paper saying “enjoy the fair.”

So we were going after all.

The usual preparations took place: a big lunch packed in an 11-quart basket, shards

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories of ice from the ice house in a glass jar of iced tea, sugar cookies, and a bowl of sliced cucumbers, radishes, and green onions. There was no such thing as plastic containers or Saran wrap back in the 1930s. A couple blankets to throw down on the grass and we were all set.

Mother had doled out Uncle Lou’s money to each of us to spend as we wished.

My sister Audrey said she was sure she had kept back a bill or two and we kids would never see it. It would go right into the sugar bowl with Mother’s egg money.

The three brothers vanished into the crowd at the fairgrounds almost before Father brought the old Model T to a stop. They were told not to spend their money on food – there was plenty under the blanket on the grass.

Mother would go to see the embroidery work and the baking and Father would head for the livestock. Audrey was saddled with looking after me, although there was no danger of a youngster of my age wandering off alone in those days.

I knew where the blanket was and I would be perfectly safe to come and go as I pleased.

Audrey said she would give me half an hour and that was it. Then I was on my own.

I told her I would like to just walk around and wander in front of the big tents where the side-shows were knowing perfectly well going inside was forbidden territory for me. But always out on the platform was a look of what a quarter would get you inside.

I was fascinated at one stage where a little monkey sat on a chair eating a banana.

I have no idea what was in the

tent, but Audrey assured me it wasn’t suitable for the eyes of a six-year-old.

We wandered on, me holding tightly to Audrey’s hand, passing one tent after another, each one looking very forbidding to me.

Then we came to the last tent in the row. A man who looked like had hadn’t seen bath water for a year was honking through a horn inviting people in to see what he called “the oddities of mankind”. I had to ask Audrey what oddities meant and she said just to look up on the stage.

There stood two little people, their hair had been cut close to their heads and they stood just a few feet tall.

Their faces were wrinkled and even at my young age I saw such sadness and despair in their eyes as they scanned the crowd around the stage.

They looked so frightened and the man kept yelling out to the people in front that for a quarter – “just twenty-five cents” – you could go into the tent and have a closer look.

My heart went out to those two little people on the stage, in the blinding sun

and unbearable heat, and I wanted to climb up the steps and yank the horn out of the man’s hands and go to the little people and put my arms around them.

I wanted to tell the people who were willing to part with a quarter to turn away, look the other way. And I started to cry.

My eyes connected with one of the little people and her face I thought softened and I smiled in her direction.

But the man was already shooing them off the stage and into the tent where those who had paid could get a closer look.

I asked my sister why people would pay to see two

such pitiful people and I told her I wanted to go to where our blanket was and sit for a spell and try to get the picture out of my mind.

That year the rides didn’t seem as much fun and the candy floss not as sweet.

The picture stayed with me long after the Renfrew Fair was over. Like two lost souls, they were.

When I went to bed at night after that day at the fair, when it came time for what Mother called our “silent prayers,” I remembered the two little people and I prayed that someone would rescue them from the man with the horn, the hot tent and the eyes of strangers.

Kanata to host 25th Terry Fox Run Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - The Terry Fox Run continues to gather momentum since Fox began his Marathon of Hope in 1980.

Fox decided to run across Canada on a prosthetic leg to raise funds for cancer research, but after 143 days, he was forced to stop when cancer reappeared in his lungs.

Although his run came to an end, Fox’s Marathon of Hope has been picked up and continued across the country. Last year, close to $12-million was raised across Ontario for cancer research.

The local Kanata and Stittsville run will celebrate 25 years of participation on Sunday, Sept. 15.

“Last year, Kanata raised over $35,000 with 360 participants, and has now raised over $580,000 since 1989,” said run organizer Michael Ward in an email. “This will be the year that total passes $600,000, so come out and participate.”

The event raises funds for the Terry Fox Foundation and cancer research.

Ottawa’s Aimee Zeglinksky-Spinney was diagnosed at age 11 with osteosarcoma

after her leg shattered on the soccer field in 2010.

“My world collapsed in an instant but thanks to Terry the course of cancer is changing, giving me the chance to rebuild. He ran to raise money for research, hoping that it would provide new treatments to reduce the painful effects of cancer and lead to a cure,” she said in a news release.

KANATA RUN

The Kanata and Stittsville run will begin at Pura Vida Bistro, located at 220 Terence Matthews Cr., in Kanata at 9 a.m., out to Stittsville and back again.

The route will follow the Trans Canada Trail along a single path since upgrades to the Hazeldean pumping station

In Terry’s day I would have lost my leg and probably my life. Today, thanks to his vision, I have hope. I have my leg. I have my life.

AIMEE ZEGLINKSKY-SPINNEY

Now 14, Aimee is pictured on the Terry Fox “Thank You for My Life” poster that is displayed in more than 8,500 schools across Canada.

“In Terry’s day I would have lost my leg and probably my life,” she said. “Today, thanks to his vision, I have hope. I have my leg. I have my life. Terry’s dream is now my dream: a cure for all cancers.”

To date, the Terry Fox Foundation has funded more than 1,100 cancer research projects.

are blocking the traditional access route, said Ward.

There are three-, five- and 10-kilometre course options for people of all ages. There is no entry fee or minimum donation needed to participate.

Registration opens at 8 a.m.

The committee is looking for volunteers to help out on the day of the event. To volunteer, email KanataTFR@rogers. com or call Ward at 613-2954594. For more information, pledge sheets and online donations, visit terryfox.org.

Make the best of CPP changes News - The Canada Pension Plan has embarked on a series of changes that may cause you to rethink when to begin receiving your CPP pension benefits.

The amendments are intended to provide more financial flexibility depending on each individual’s chosen retirement path and to encourage Canadians to work longer before starting to draw a government pension.

That’s why these changes provide greater incentives for those willing to work past the traditional retirement age and significant reductions for those taking CPP benefits before age 65.

Dave Ablett, pension expert at Investors Group, says the new rules make it more attractive to delay receipt of your CPP benefits – but only if: your health is good: your life expectancy above average; you have a reasonable income and/or you intend to continue working after 65.

More information on this topic is available from the Investors Group, or contact a financial advisor to get specific advice about your circumstances.

A funny thing happens when you tell kids they matter.

They believe you.

An alarming 40,000 kids drop out of high school every year. Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada are committed to changing that. They provide a safe and supportive place where kids can develop confidence and life skills. They offer programs like Rogers Raising the Grade to help kids with their studies. The Club is a place where kids can drop in, so they’re less likely to drop out.

Lions spice up euchre Community The Kanata-Hazeldean Lions Club will be adding new features to its monthly euchre games starting at its next evening session on Sept. 14, beginning at 7:30 p.m. at 170 Castlefrank Rd. This year there will be an on-going competition for annual awards. There will be a special prize for the high aggregate score of the year and for the highest number of “loners”.

Prizes will be based on the best six monthly totals out of a possible nine.

“We’re not sure what the prizes will be”, said Todd Sloan of the Lions club.

“We will establishing something to put up on the wall for bragging rights, as well as a personal memento and/or cash award for our annual euchre royalty. We will let folks know at our first session.”

Euchre is a fast-paced bidding and playing card game that is easy to learn and fun to play.

Newcomers will have lots of help from the old “hands” who have been enjoying the games for years. Euchre is as much a party as a card tournament, with lots of good conversation – plus snacks and beverages served by the Lions.

“We are hoping that the new, yearlong aspect will provide more interest and a little more of an edge”, said Sloan.

“But the main thing is we want the fun to continue until late spring. For more information, please call Lions euchre chair Pearl Brule at 613- 836-2479.

Ottawa’s #1 Ranked Soccer Club

Southwest stuffed sweet potatoes is a healthy side dish Lifestyle - Here is a healthy, colourful, kid-friendly meal – and vegetarian too.

Cutting the sweet potatoes in half to bake shortens the cooking time considerably. Grill up extra corn and roast a red pepper for this dish. If you like a little heat, kick it up with hot sauce or serve it on the side for the adults. Serve with a salad.

Preparation time: 15 minutes.

Cooking time: 40 to 55 minutes.

Serves four.

INGREDIENTS

OSU players David Chung, Ryan Massoud and Matteo de Brienne returned from Madrid, Spain after a successful week at the famed Real Madrid Soccer Academy.

As part of small group of selected players from OSU’s USA based partners, Dallas Texans, the boys received a unique inside into the soccer secrets of the world’s highest valued soccer brand, Real Madrid. Training twice a day for a week at Real’s exclusive soccer center located close to the Barajas Madrid Airport, with Real’s full time academy coaches, the group quickly realized the demands and high expectations required to develop into a top level player.

Progress became evident as the week progressed as the boys realised that technique, intelligence with the ball and simplicity was priced above all by the Real coaches.

The group also attended the season opener between Real Madrid and Real Betis at the famed Bernabau stadium attended by over 90,000 spectators.

OSU President Bill Michalopulos stated “ this was a unique and exclusive opportunity from any player from Canada to be inside the house of the famed Real Madrid Soccer Club.

This opportunity was made possible thanks to our valued alliance with the Dallas Texans. It was a tremendous learning experience for our players, one that they will hopefully use as a motivator for further development.

We expect that other similar opportunities will become available to OSU players as our plans and actions to develop the best possible soccer players in Ottawa continuous”

PREPARATION

Scrub the sweet potatoes and cut in half lengthwise. Brush the cut sides with a little oil. Place, cut side down, on a parchment paper-

lined shallow baking sheet then bake in a 190 C (375 F) oven until the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with knife – about 35 to 45 minutes.

Let them cool enough to handle then scoop out the flesh, leaving a one-centimetre (1/2-inch) shell.

In a large bowl, mash the flesh until smooth.

Fold in the corn, beans, red pep-

per and green onions, then season with cumin, salt and pepper.

Spoon the filling into shells and return to the baking sheet.

Sprinkle each half with 15 ml (1 tbsp) of cheese.

Bake them until heated through and the cheese melts, for about five to 10 minutes.

Arts - We Canadians know him as Lord Tweedsmuir, the 15th Governor General of Canada, the distinguished British statesman and diplomat who died in office in Montreal in 1940.

But the world knows him as John Buchan, Scottish writer of perhaps as many as one hundred books, credited with inventing the novel in which the innocent patriotic ordinary man is forced to flee across country from enemy agents conspiring against his country, cheating death with every step.

The novel that did this is Buchanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Thirty-Nine Steps, published in 1915 just a year

into the Great War. This hugely popular classic inspired many film, radio and television versions, including Alfred Hitchcockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1935 film.

But none of these adaptations has tried the impossible task that now confronts the brave cast of Kanata Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production of John Buchanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The 39 Steps by Patrick Barlow, opening Tuesday, Sept. 17 in the Ron Maslin Playhouse.

You see, the novel features more than 130 characters, but they will be played to hilarious effect by only four actors.

These courageous souls include Mike Hammond who enjoys the luxury of playing only one character, the hero Richard Hannay, throughout the show and Allison

Harris, who plays three roles which supply most, but not all, of the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feminine interest.

That leaves Gordon Walls and Andrew Williams, the clowns, to play all the rest of the characters.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right- all 130 of them.

You can only marvel at the dexterity with which these two execute turn-on-a-dime switches from good guys to villains, from workers to gents often in the wink of an eye, often within the same scene.

All of this inspired comic chaos, reminiscent of Monty Python, falls under the careful eye of Sandy Wynne, who returns to the directorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chair after her successful production of Proof several years ago. John Buchanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The 39 Steps ran for 771 perfor-

mances in New York beginning in 2008. It was nominated for four Tony awards, including best play, and won two.

Kanata Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production of John Buchanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The 39 Steps by Patrick Barlow runs in the Ron Maslin Playhouse, 1 Ron Maslin Way, just off Terry Fox in Walter Baker Park, from Tuesday to Saturday, Sept. 17 to 21 and Sept. 24 to 28.

Tickets are $20. Subscriptions for all five plays in the 2013-14 season are available for $75. The Playhouse is accessible.

Parking is abundant and free.

Ottawa Power Wheelchair Hockey League starts Sept. 15 Staff

Sports - Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson will launch the Ottawa Power Wheelchair Hockey League hockey season and announce the expansion of two additional teams at the Greenboro Community Centre on Sept. 15.

Watson will also be presenting bronze medals to 12 members of the league’s Ottawa Capitals, who placed third at the Canadian Electric Wheelchair Hockey Association Canadian championships in London, Ont., last month.

The OPWHL is honoured to have our mayor show support for this extremely valuable community run program,” said Donna Haycock, chairwoman of the league board. “ The OPWHL is doubling in size again and expanding to four league teams. Mr. Watson will also be acknowledging our wheelchair athletes who proudly represented the city of

The league is launching the fifth season and expects close to 40 wheelchair athletes from Ottawa and surrounding areas to compete in the event. Along with new and returning players, new coaches, referees and game assistants are excited to have the season underway.

The league was established in the fall of 2009 and provides an organized, recreational and social program for people with disabilities.

All of the athletes use power wheelchairs and have limited or no upper body strength and/or mobility.

Sporting programs for people in power wheelchairs are severely limited in Ottawa.

The league offers an opportunity for members to become part of a team, and in addition, recognizes and celebrates team and individual achievements.

PROVINCE APPROVES LANDFILL EXPANSION ON CARP ROAD Waste Management has received approval for a new landfill adjacent to the existing site on Carp Road (locally called the Carp Mountain). The new landfill can take 400,000 tonnes of trash a year for 10 years. The City of Ottawa had asked for a smaller landfill combined with recycling, contributions to road upgrades, and strong protection against odors, ground water protection and community involvement, amongst other requests.

Residents of Stittsville and parts of Kanata North experienced serious odor problems with the earlier landfill and had lobbied to locate any new facility away from the urban area. However, with this approval, the landfill proposed by Waste Management can proceed.

Although the project was also shown to include waste diversion, recycling, composting and renewable energy facilities, those items were not in the approval as the process only deals with approval of a landfill. There are some conditions including having a community liaison committee, a complaint response protocol, odor controls, a water monitoring program and plans for property value protection and mitigation of species-at-risk.

I regret that the realistic recommendations that the west end Councillors had developed, with the assistance of City staff and approval of the entire City Council, were not included in the final decision of the Minister of the Environment.

TOWN HALL MEETING September 23rd Mark your calendar for the first Town Hall Meeting this fall and come to the Program Room at the Kanata Senior’s Centre at 7pm to hear from Ottawa District School Board Trustee about the new school planned for Kanata North and ask about other school issues. You’ll also be updated on development applications, the proposed Official Plan and Transportation Plan and much more.

The draft agenda can be viewed on my website.

CITY OF OTTAWA WASTE PLAN The City of Ottawa is developing a Waste Plan to guide management of recyclables and garbage over the next thirty years. You can give input to the City on a number of proposed options to achieve waste management goals and objectives. Each of the options presented has an associated cost and feedback from the public will be used to assist in prioritizing spending. To ensure your opinion is included fill in the questionnaire by September 29, 2013 at the following URL: English https://app07.ottawa.ca/survey/index.php/656238/lang-en French: https://app07.ottawa.ca/survey/index.php/656238/lang-fr

Hundreds of rec staff get unexpected pay cuts Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

to remain anonymous said it’s hard for the city to attract quality instructors, especially in the summer, because they can make more money working for the YMCA. Through his spokesman, Ryan Kennery, Mayor Jim Watson declined to comment.

Kennery said the matter is a “personnel issue” unrelated to Watson’s promise to freeze recreation fees during his term in office.

Taylor said the city is working with the affected employees and the union, CUPE Local 503, to “comb it out to everyone’s satisfaction.”

The disagreement is between the practice of managers having the flexibility to adjust salaries and the obligations of the collective agreement, Taylor said. “(Managers) do have discretion to start people at a higher rate within the pay bands, but there are limitations to that … that are limited by the contract we have with the union,” Taylor said.

Managers definitely have flexibility when it comes to

wages they offer, but at question is whether that flexibility constrains them to the range of one “pay band” or if they can jump a new employee to a higher pay level.

The female part-time instructor said despite amalgamation, each city facility runs independently and managers make decisions differently, whether it’s hiring at a higher pay rate or paying instructors for a full hour if they teach a 45-minute class. She called it “unsustainable.”

“From my perspective it wasn’t very well-thought out,” she said.

A request to interview the city’s parks and recreation manager and the city’s lawyer were denied. Instead, media relations officer Andrea Ruttan

Union representatives have told fitness instructors not to sign city documents agreeing to the lower pay scale until the issue is resolved, the female instructor said.

sent an email on behalf of city solicitor Rick O’Connor stating “the city does not comment publicly on specific personnel matters or workplace issues.”

Representatives from CUPE 503 did not return calls for comment.

News - Several hundred fitness instructors have seen their pay cut by the city.

The city is trying to set lower pay levels for instructors who teach classes like yoga and aquafit and for the first time the city also struck a committee to reclassify speciality classes like zumba into regular fitness classes that pay less to teachers, according to a city fitness instructor.

“There’s a lot of anger,” said the employee, who asked that her name be withheld in case speaking out affected her employment with the city. “It’s really affecting people’s lives.

“A lot of (the instructors) do it as their job, so when they’re taking a pay cut, whether it’s $3 to $5, $6 a class, when you’re teaching 20, 30 or 35 classes a week, at the end of the week, that’s someone’s hydro bill or someone’s grocery bill,” she said. “For those who are doing it as a living, it is definitely hurting them with their budget.”

But the woman, who now

spends most of her time working at a private facility, said she understands what the city is doing and is surprised something like this didn’t happen sooner.

“For me, the more money the city spends, the more tax dollars are going to go up,” she said, adding that something had to change eventually to ensure city recreation programs can be offered sustainably.

Bay Coun. Mark Taylor, chairman of the city’s community and protective services committee, called the situation “a bit of a (human resources) matter” that affects a “limited number” of city parks and recreation employees – several hundred out of a department of several thousand.

“When we hired individuals, we hired them at the rate that we believed they’re qualified to serve at, while at the same time trying to ensure we’re doing it within the negotiated framework we have with the union,” said Taylor, who found out about the issue several weeks ago.

Contract language raises questions about pay cuts Continued from page 37

No taxpayer dollars were wasted, Taylor said. The city knew the salaries and budgeted for them.

“We weren’t paying out money we didn’t realize we were paying out and certainly no one has taken any money that they weren’t entitled to,” he said.

The parks, recreation and culture department is forecast to have a $1.81-million deficit by the end of the year, $1.7-million of which is due to anticipated sponsorship revenue the city didn’t get. The city budgeted $61.8 million for salaries and benefits for all employees in that department.

‘UNUSUAL’ MOVE: EXPERT

Michael Mac Neil, a labour law expert at Carleton University, said clawing back wages is an uncommon move.

“If the contract actually stipulated an amount you are going to start working at, then it would be quite unusual I think to unilaterally move

it back,” he said. “I suppose it might arise in a situation where someone is claiming they made an error in their payroll and have been paying someone more than they were entitled to under a contract.”

The collective agreement states that if an employee has been hired at a higher hourly rate of pay due to a competi-

... it would be quite unusual I think to unilaterally move it back MICHAEL MAC NEIL

tive market or “recruitment issues,” they “shall continue to receive that hourly rate and be entitled to all negotiated percentage increases.”

The agreement goes on to say if an employee’s job duties are revised in a way that reclassifies the job downwards, “the employee(s) (present in-

cumbents only) shall continue to receive the rate of pay of the job or type of job applicable prior to the downward classification.”

Taylor couldn’t comment on the details of the collective agreement because he said he’s not a labour relations expert.

“Irrespective of what it might say in that chapter and verse, there could very well be something in another part of the contract with which (the city is) taking issue,” Taylor said.

Taylor isn’t aware of anyone who quit as a result.

“My understanding is all the employees understand fully what’s happening and why,” he said.

An email from city media relations attributed to Dan Chenier, the city’s manager of parks, recreation and cultural services, said programs have not been cut as a result.

“Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services will be offering the same variety, numbers and volume of programs and activities this fall as last year,” the email reads.

Landfill a waste of time, say opponents â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the corporations that drive the processâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to approve Carp expansion Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

from the city, and a hand delivered list from Mayor Jim Watson to the environment minister â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the province could reject public sentiment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Absolutely this is a disappointment. If that is all we are going to get itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sad day for us,â&#x20AC;? El-Chantiry said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t got anything from them. They have not addressed any of our concerns.â&#x20AC;?

A few fears raised include: â&#x20AC;˘ Groundwater contamination if

landfill leachate seeps into the fractured limestone below: â&#x20AC;˘ Increased traffic on the alreadycongested area roads; â&#x20AC;˘ Odour similar to levels that forced the province to reprimand Waste Management about six years ago; â&#x20AC;˘ A drop in property values due to having a nearby landfill; See WASTE, page 42

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Carp landfill expansion is a go even though opponents and community leaders remain convinced health and safety are at risk.

The Ontario environment ministry caught all stakeholders off guard Sept. 5 when it approved Waste Managementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed expansion to its Carp Road operation.

Called the West Carleton Environmental Centre, the landfill will accept 400,000 tonnes of trash a year

for 10 years. Other on-site facilities include those for renewable energy, composting, recycling, and waste diversion.

The only requirements Waste Management must fulfill are the

four basics that the province demands of all landfills, said Eli ElChantiry. The West Carleton-March councillor wonders how the government could ask for less than the company committed to at public meetings.

He is disappointed to know that - after about 20 public meetings, many residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; submissions, the rise of opposition citizen groups, 18 council-backed recommendations

Waste Management satisfied with provincial decision: manager Continued from page 41

Other fears raised include: â&#x20AC;˘ The catchment area is not limited to Ottawa and area, but could see trash come in from other parts of Ontario; â&#x20AC;˘ A working landfill situated among the three fastgrowing communities of Kanata, Stittsville, and Carp.

That city officials expect Waste Management to live up to its promises doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean much to Olivia Nixon of Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Let Ottawa Go to Waste Campaign. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have very much faith in that,â&#x20AC;? Nixon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pattern of behaviour; Waste Management will make promises that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep as they move for-

ward. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the corporations that drive the process.â&#x20AC;?

Ross Wallace, a Waste Management site manager, said he is satisfied with the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision, and vows to follow stipulations in the environmental assessment (EA) and all â&#x20AC;&#x153;realistic recommendations.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very pleased, obviously.

He said the company is committed to dealing with property value protection, traffic issues, groundwater monitoring, odour and more. Wallace said many of these are already monitored.

It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t financially viable to bring trash in from far flung parts of the province like Toronto, he said.

As for not having the threat of governmental enforcement guiding their decisions, Wallace said regulations are already in place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Landfills are strongly regulated already.

On April 10, 2013, City Council approved the construction of a new parking garage located at 170 Second Avenue. The parking garage is intended to provide additional parking to support the local community and area businesses.

A working group of local residents and business representatives have been consulted by the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s architects and City staff to develop the proposed design concepts.

You are invited to attend the Open House on September 19, 2013 from 7:00 to 9:00 pm at the Glebe Community Center (175 Third Avenue) to review and comment on the proposed design. This open house will also present any needed zoning changes and details of the Site Plan submission to accommodate the parking garage. City staff and project architects will be available to answer questions.

Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accommodation, please call 3-1-1 or e-mail peter.bula@ottawa.ca before the event.

If you are not available to attend the meeting or would like additional information, please visit the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at ottawa.ca or direct your comments to the contact person listed below. The presentation material will be available on the website after September 19, 2013.

A Green party spokesman for the riding, John Hogg, agrees with Nixon and others who say the landfill should be closed. He said diverting hundreds of thousands of

tonnes of trash does nothing to address the need to reduce and recycle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The decision was narrow-minded and wrongminded. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fundamentally solving the wrong problem,â&#x20AC;?

Hogg said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It solves the problem that Waste Management didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a landfill in the region, not that the City of Ottawa didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. There are plenty of landfills.â&#x20AC;?

He indicated grassroots involvement is virtually meaningless when decisions such as this are made.

El-Chantiry agrees, but adds the province is pushing harder to deal with residential waste than industrialcommercial-and-institutional (ICI) waste â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the kind accepted at the Carp Road site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have municipal blue box, black box, green box and everything, but nothing for ICI.â&#x20AC;?

Midget Knights win opener 16-6 against Nouvelle Frontieres Kanata Knights

Sports - The midget Kanata Knights held their home opener on Sept. 6 in front of a packed home crowd at Robert Barr Football Field.

The Knights started off slowly in the first half allowing the Frontieres to score.

However, a determined defense, led by linebackers Sebby Mordak and Eric Ricci, DL Jasmin Dervisevic and two-way powerhouse player Nick Krza-

niak, who plays both defensive back and quarterback, helped keep the score close with the Knights trailing by just 6 after the half.

Early in the third quarter, the game shifted momentum and the Knights took control.

The pounding running game of Chris Bumstead, and Brandon Farquharson put quarterback Matt Duffy in scoring position where he punched in two touchdowns and Jared Blair converted both points after

touchdowns.

Evan Yourth led the receiving core with three catches for 43 yards.

Matt Duffy was also a key factor on special teams with two kick returns for 73 yards.

The defence stood strong and shut out the Frontieres for the remainder of the game. Nick Krzaniak led the defence with three interceptions, a batted ball and two assisted tackles.

The tyke Kanata Knights continue to steamroll through the opposition, picking up a 48-0 win over the Bel-Air Lions on Sept. 7.

Tykes steamroll opposition 48-0 Continued from page 43

Sebby Mordak was a beast recording six solo tackles and five assisted plus put the game out of reach with a safety in the forth. Julien Smit continues to be a quarterback’s worst nightmare with two sacks and rookie defensive linesman, Sheldon McRae recovered a fumble.

The midget Knights look to take another win this Friday, Sept. 13 at 7:30 p.m. against the BelAir Lions at the Nepean Sportsplex.

TYKE

The tyke Knights tucked another win in their girdles against the Bel-Air Lions at Notre Dame High School on Sept. 7, making their record 3-0.

The offence was a scoring machine. Touchdowns by Brody Bampton (two touchdowns), A.J. Richmond, Akash Prasad, London Bernard and our quarterback, Connor Vanasse.

Ethan Rocha had three converts.

The defence was firing on all cylinders. During one play, Darius Reid, intercepted the ball and ran it for a touchdown, making the final score 480. Next week the Knights take on the Outouais Saints PEEWEE

The peewee Kanata Knights lost to the Bel-Air Lions by a score of 48 to 18 at Notre Dame High School on Sept. 8.

It was a heartbreaking loss for the Knights, the third in a row.

The Knights played a strong game, especially in the second half, scoring two touchdowns by Tyler Rehman and Patrick Massia.

Offensive players, Evan Wilson and Gavin Goyette put in a solid effort to make impressive gains and support each drive.

The team’s defence could not prevent defeat, but they had the enthusiasm and determination to stop the Lions from scoring. Defensive players Sebastian Chavez, Liam Quinton, Tyrese Brown and Justin Malloy kept the line strong, despite the loss.

The Knights played their second home game against Gatineau Vikings at the Robert Barr Football Field in Kanata on Sept. 11. Results and details of the game will be available next week. The team is on the road for Sept. 21.

Efforts continue to save the Beachburg rail line Ottawa’s transportation committee looks into cost of purchase Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - The city’s transportation committee agreed to ask CN rail what it would cost to buy the defunct Beachburg rail line – even though there’s almost zero chance Ottawa will purchase now, says Coun. Eli ElChantiry.

The West Carleton-March councillor and his west-end colleagues would like to see the line, which runs from near Carling Avenue in Nepean to Pembroke, preserved to help with economic development in the Pembroke and Pontiac areas.

Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said it’s about be a “good neighbour” to smaller municipalities that don’t have as much influence as Ottawa.

City staff are recommending against buying the line because the tract is not needed as part of the city’s current long-term transportation plan and the sale would be too expensive.

According to a staff report, CN already tried to sell the line to various governments and transit authorities for an asking price of $21.7 million.

Part of the issue is that while city councillors support saving the entire rail line, it doesn’t necessarily mean they want the city to buy the whole thing.

“You have to purchase the whole track,” El-Chantiry said. “Why would you want to purchase something outside city limits?”

But councillors could see the merit in the city owning the portion of the route within city limits, which touch-

es the Algonquin College campus and connects to Billings Bridge, a transit hub, and Walkley Road.

Meanwhile, the Pontiac government is awaiting a court decision on whether it had the power to pass a law preventing CN from removing tracks in that region as a way to stall the decimation of the line as a working rail route. The portion from Beachburg to the Chaudiere has already been removed, El-Chantiry said.

“We just want to ask CN to cool down a bit,” he said. “This is a significant track … Once you take (up) the tracks, you lose the opportunity forever.”

Governments in the Pontiac and Ottawa Valley would like to see another group come forward to operate the heavy rail line, which would bring freight and jobs to their areas and could eventually be used for com-

muter passenger rail to get people to Ottawa.

“For the Pontiac, this is an essential part of their economy,” Wilkinson said, noting that stalling the tracks from being torn up is “better than nothing.”

Most other councillors on the city’s transportation committee agreed the city should make a stronger effort to encourage CN to sell the line as a working rail line instead of tearing of the tracks and selling it as land.

The original plan was for the city to send a letter to CN asking them to delay the tracks’ removal. In an effort to bolster that request, on Sept.

4, the committee also voted to request a quote for how much the line is worth.

Deputy city manager Nancy Schepers said contemplating purchasing the rail line would put the city in the posi-

tion of having to maintain an active railway.

“It’s a very, very expensive proposition,” she said.

Once CN removes the tracks, it might try to sever parts of the rail line and sell the land in parcels, ElChantiry said. But he warned the city would not entertain that idea.

“The city is not going to allow severance of the rail bed,” he said.

Officials in the Pontiac have begun research to determine if the Beachburg line could be deemed as a heritage route, which might help protect it, El-Chantiry said.

The metal used in the tracks is worth a fair amount of money on its own, which might explain CN’s haste to remove them, El-Chantiry said.

Women’s health the focus of new breast imaging suite Nevil Hunt

nevil.hunt@metroland.com

News - Women’s health got a shot in the arm on Sept. 4 with the opening of the breast centre at the Queensway Carleton Hospital.

The Shirley E. Greenberg breast imaging suite brings together multiple forms of testing in one place.

The goal is to have patients – overwhelmingly women – get all the tests they need in one private and comfortable place and in as short a period as possible.

It’s expected that the hospital will perform about 5,500 mammograms, 1,400 breast ultrasounds and 2,600 bone density exams in the new suite in 2013-14.

With advances in technology, such as digital mammography, and the larger space in the suite, patients can often move between ultrasound, mammography and bone density machines in a single visit, instead of having to make multiple trips for each service.

If concerns are identified during testing, patients can be sent to see a surgeon within two weeks of their first visit to the breast imaging suite, said the hospital’s diagnostic imaging manager, Shawn O’Rourke.

NEVIL HUNT/METROLAND

Shirley Greenberg, centre, is introduced to the new breast imaging suite that bears her name at the Queensway Carleton Hospital.

O’Rourke said the image quality delivered by the hospital’s equipment has improved over the years and techniques are less invasive.

The added space of the Shirley E. Greenberg also means there’s room to add a second mammography machine at a later date, although that will take an investment of about $600,000.

A donation of $1 million from Shirley E. Greenberg helped the QCH Foundation build the new imaging suite.

The Greenberg family has provided volunteer and financial help to the hospital for many years, including funding for the Irving Greenberg Family Cancer Centre, which opened

at the hospital in 2010.

Irving was also the chair of the hospital’s first-ever fundraising campaign.

Hospital board chairwoman Clare Becton introduced Shirley to an audience at the opening of the breast suite.

“Shirley’s support for women’s health in this city has been legendary,” Becton said.

Shirley spoke briefly – drawing the biggest laugh of the day – before taking a tour of the breast suite and unveiling a sign.

“I have a new hip,” she said, thanking the medical staff who performed the operation. “I’m only sorry the rest of me doesn’t match.”

up in the air showing off.

“I said, ‘Oh, dear. We’re going to get blamed for this.’”

However, Rolfe has a number of other complaints. Besides the noise and disturbance of planes, trees were cut on a third neighbour’s property to accommodate the airstrip. (Davidson said they obtained the neighbour’s approval.) The strip is short. (Davidson said small planes only need small strips, and that theirs meets the standard.)

Eli El-Chantiry was aware of the strip, having snowmobiled past it. But he doesn’t know about the legality of every building in the ward. He simply hopes the two sides can work it out.

“If it’s not the city’s authority, what kind of opinion can I give?” the West Carleton-March councillor said. “I’d love for people to respect their neighbourhood, and that all neighbours get along.”

Asked if Thayer - because he was an outspoken OC Transpo union member during the strike four years ago - is getting special treatment from the city, El-Chantiry downplayed the mechanic’s role.

The city’s communication department wouldn’t address that aspect of the issue either, which is another of Rolfe’s concerns.

News – A feud between neighbours over a mysterious airstrip and hangar has led the city to investigate.

John Rolfe on Stonecrest Road near Kinburn Side says small airplanes recently flew low over his house on two separate occasions in an attempt to intimidate him.

He suspects it has to do with a formal protest he made to the city over his neighbour’s request to sever land.

But Rolfe’s beef with pilot Hugh Thayer and Debbie Davidson goes much further than that. He wonders if the airstrip and hangar they built about five years ago is legal and if they are paying taxes on it.

“The applicant’s misguided creation of a landing strip is completely inappropriate, thoughtless and misguided,” Rolfe said in an email to municipal and federal politicians. “It’s self-centeredness in the extreme.”

On the tax side, deputy city treasurer Ken Hughes won’t say if the property is assessed and tax revenue is being collected.“I’m investigating but can’t tell you the results because of privacy legislation,” Hughes said.

On the legality of the structure and strip the city couldn’t find a building

permit as of May 1, when it requested one from the owners before granting the severance. Typically, no building permit means no taxes are being paid.

But again, according to chief building official Arlene Gregoire in an email to the West Carleton Review, privacy laws prevent the sharing of information. But she did say a city building permit is not required in the case of private hangars and airstrips.

“This matter is under investigation,” Gregoire said. “Private aerodromes are exempt from provincial and municipal authority based on constitutional division of powers. The Supreme Court of Canada has upheld the exclusive jurisdiction of parliament over aerodromes including any ancillary use. In August 2012, Industry Canada directed that aerodromes be registered.”She reiterated that a building permit or “proof that the hangar is compliant” be sent to the city. It has been three months and still no proof.

“Staff is awaiting for a response from the owner,” Gregoire said.

Thayer couldn’t be reached for comment. Davidson insists they are following all federal and other rules and that the issue is overblown.

On low flying planes near Rolfe’s house, she said her husband was at a nearby party where another pilot was

Halifax singer to take to Burnstown stage Jenn Grant to test drive new material at Neat Coffee Shop Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

Arts – It’s a rare treat to take in a live concert at Neat Coffee Shop on an autumn afternoon.

But this Sunday, starting at 4 p.m., the treat is even sweeter as the musical-Mecca locale in Burnstown welcomes Juno nominee Jenn Grant.

The P.E.I. born Haligonian singer-songwriter is something of a veteran of the indie scene, having four albums to her name. She will test drive material for a fifth during the current tour that includes dates with Ron Sexsmith.

Her latest record, The Beautiful Wild, is slightly more serious and sophisticated than Honeymoon Punch. And while fickle fans like album-to-album consistency from their artists, others appreciate the chances and distinct atmosphere performers like Grant bring.

“I’m all about making in-

teresting music and we’ll see who likes that,” she said. “I want to get a sense from the audience what works and what doesn’t, but I think I’m done with caring about commercial expectations. Life is short and I’m about making the best art I can.”

Grant is working hard at her song-writing, which is infused with romantic East Coast themes such as the ocean and broad skies.

She’s produced dozens of songs to boil down to 20 tracks.

But it’s her voice – big and seemingly effortless yet with

Sat. Sept. 14, 2013 Bell Sensplex in Kanata

a subtle feminine quality – that takes centre stage at a Jenn Grant performance.

“As I get older, I feel I’m paying more attention to lyrics, challenging myself with more words and story-telling in my songs,” she said. “Singing for other people is what I’m most passionate about. I’ve been doing it since I was a kid and I put a lot into it. I’ve been touring for eight or nine years now, and it’s something I don’t take for granted.”

Others are far from taking it for granted, too.

Grant plays a central role in the East Coast scene, with her latest release featuring performances by Rose Cousins, Old Man Leudecke, and 41 members of The Halifax Boys Honor Choir. She’s co-written several songs with Buck 65, including Paper Airplane.

Grant has performed across North America, Europe, Japan and Australia – sharing a stage with many of her favourite artists including Ottawa’s own Kathleen Edwards, Hayden, Hey Rosetta!, Feist, The Great Lake Swimmers, The Weakerthans, and Henry Wagons.

She’s even appeared on CBC Radio One’s Q with Jian Ghomeshi, a virtuoso at spotting

Mat Dunlap

Jenn Grant plays a central role in the East Coast music scene. She’ll perform a unique afternoon show at Neat this Sunday, rolling out new material that will show off her writing talents and seasoned voice.

CanCon talent.

Canada has an impressive history of successful female singer-songwriters from Joni Mitchell to Alanis Morissette.

Grant is aware of and appreciates the footsteps she follows in, and offers an explanation.

“It’s a really grounded community. I know in the East Coast there is a strong cast of female voices,” she said. “We are all very supportive. It’s like we are sisters. We are all carving our own little paths, but there is a lot of mutual support and cooperation.”

Expect a lively and entertaining afternoon for all ages at Neat, she said, adding that she looks forward to her only matinee show on the tour. The cost is $17. See Neatfood.com for details.

“We’re expecting a great show. It’ll be really fun and unique for families and young children,” Grant said. “I love playing in Burnstown with the river right there. The audience has always been really magnificent for us, very receptive and ready to laugh and be touched by music.”

Opera Lyra opens 29th season Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

Arts - Opera Lyra has opened its 29th season at the National Arts Centre with Bizet’s Carmen.

A run of four shows, which began on Sept. 7 at the NAC’s Southam Hall, will run until Sept. 14. Earlier this year, artistic director and principal conductor Tyrone Paterson announced this season is filled with passion, love and crime and the passion begins with Carmen.

“After 11 years, Carmen finds her way back to Opera Lyra’s stage,” Paterson said.

Bizet’s Carmen tells the tale of a soldier seduced by a beautiful woman who cares only about her own freedom.

The opera is said to have some of the most recognizable music and is considered to be among the world’s most well-loved operas.

Italian singer Alessandra Volpe will play Carmen.

“Ms. Volpe is vibrant and beautiful and was widely praised after her debut at Teatro alla Scala in Milan,” Paterson said.

He said he knew Volpe was

Performing in Carmen for the fourth time, Crider invites Ottawa residents to come out to the opera because the story, which is over 138 years old, still resonates to people today.

“Through and through, the music is very beautiful. The relevance and engaging nature of this art form, and of the production of Carmen, in terms of the repertoire of what is performed, is one of the best.”

A church singer since he was young, the idea of singing for a living only crossed his mind when he was applying to schools in his last year at high school.

“I was completely naïve. I jumped in (at auditions) and got a few scholarships based what I can only believe was potential -- my naivety was maybe charming to them.

“I dove into a whole new world for me. I loved the fact that I didn’t know anything.”

It wasn’t until Crider started his masters degree that he became interested in opera.

He quickly rose to the top of his profession, performing at opera houses across the

Arts - Last time she competed at Ottawa Idol, she was runner-up.

But there was no secondplace finish this year for singer Lindsay White, the 16-yearold who won Ottawa Idol on the long weekend.

The St. Peter High School musical theatre student performed close to home, as the final round was held at the Place d’Orléans Shopping Centre on Sept. 1.

She didn’t compete in 2012, but finished as runner-up in the 2011 competition.

“I was shocked, I was so happy,” said the teen. “There were so many amazing singers; the judges said it was really tough.”

At school, Lindsay is part of the high skills musical theatre major, show choir and the school musical.

She looks up to singers like Carrie Underwood, Adele and Beyonce for inspiration.

Now that she’s won record-

“I’m going to want to do my own song, but I don’t have it yet – so I have to work on that first,” she said.

Second-place finisher was Stittsville’s Jennifer Lauren, and in third place was Nepe-

an’s Antonio Pezoulas.

The 17-year-old Antonio just started Grade 12 at Mother Teresa High School, where he’s active in school musicals.

He’s also sung at local festivals like Greekfest, and enjoys combining different styles of music to make his own unique sound.

“I like taking old rock ‘n’ roll (with other genres) and

blending and mixing them together,” he said.

He also won recording time, and is still deciding whether to pen an original tune or sing a cover song in studio.

Last year, Antonio finished in the top six performers in the competition.

“I’m glad that I did better than last year, and that’s all I set out to achieve,” he said.

Committee votes to save east-end business Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - The answer to why an illegal landscaping and snow removal business has been allowed to operate on Frank Kenney Road for several decades is trapped in moldy Cumberland township records.

Councillors who sit on the agriculture and rural affairs committee were put in a pickle on Sept. 5 when faced with the prospect of effectively shutting down Prebbel Enterprises and putting its 20 or so employees out of work, or putting themselves in a legally unenforceable situation of allowing

the business to continue in violation of several city and provincial policies.

They chose the latter.

Matt Lapointe, owner of Prebbel, insists he understood the existing business he bought in 2002 was “legally non-conforming,” a right city council can give to a property owner if the land’s use was allowed under an older law that the city subsequently decides to change. But in this case, the city has no way of confirming the business was ever allowed to set up on the site. Any records that could reveal the answer are likely in a moldy pile of documents – archives from the former township that will take the

city’s archivist 10 to 15 years to clean up and make readable, Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais said.

Manager of rural planning review Derek Moodie said the research his department was able to do indicates the zoning on the site would never have allowed the building, but what’s not known is why the former township issued building permits for large commercial garages and buildings on the site.

“This is a weird one – flat out,” said Daniel Paquette, a planning consultant Lapointe hired when he realized there was some discrepancies in the documentation of what was allowed

on his land.

Neighbours don’t object to the business operating at that location, and none of the five councillors who sit on the committee relished the idea of confirming that only agricultural uses can be allowed on the land, as required by three major laws: the city’s zoning, it’s Official Plan and the Provincial Policy Statement.

“If we accept the staff recommendation, this gentleman is out of business,” said Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson, who chairs the committee. He noted that staff don’t want to shut Lapointe down, but they are bound to follow planning laws. But

instead of following the letter of the law, the committee decided to allow an exception for the type of business use Prebbel needs in order to continue operating.

It’s unlikely the site could be returned to agricultural land due to the cost of tearing down buildings and ripping up asphalt, Blais said.

West Carleton-March Coun. Eli ElChantiry spoke passionately against the decision the committee made.

He wanted to delay the decision with the hope of finding more archives or information that would enable city council to convey that desired nonconforming use status. After a year of negotiations and discussions with city staff, Blais deemed that prospect unlikely.

Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri joined El-Chantiry in rejecting the move to include the business’s use in the zoning. City council will have the final say on the matter on Sept. 25.

Effective September 30, 2013, Notices of Liquor Licence Applications will no longer appear in local newspapers. Please visit the AGCO website at www.agco.on.ca to view applications in your municipality. The applicant must still post a placard at the establishment notifying the public about the liquor licence application.

Ottawa Tourism to get space at 150 Elgin Failed concert hall supposed to offer ‘public benefit’ Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Ottawa Tourism will be getting an office with a view thanks to the city’s decision to focus its cultural efforts on the Arts Court.

The tourism promotion group will

move into a 600-square-metre space on the 14th floor of one of Ottawa’s newest office towers at 150 Elgin St. The building south of Laurier Avenue has views of the Rideau Canal, Ottawa Convention Centre and the Parliamentary precinct, making it a perfect spot for Ottawa Tourism to woo tour operators and other tourism industry representatives.

The space was originally intended to be used for a concert hall. About 650 square metres were set aside for the hall, which was to be used by the Ottawa Chamber Music Society.

But when efforts to fundraise for the concert hall fell apart, the building’s

developer, Morguard Elgin Limited, agreed to set a smaller amount of space aside as a public benefit as part of the agreement when the city sold the land to Morguard in 2004.

On Sept. 3, the city’s finance and economic development committee approved the change to allow a nonprofit agency like Ottawa Tourism to benefit from the space. The original terms called for a city program use (arts, culture or tourism-type use).

Some councillors weren’t convinced that a tourism office is a “public benefit.”

“I am not sure that Ottawa Tourism fits into my definition of what a com-

munity benefit is,” said GloucesterSouthgate Coun. Diane Deans. “It just doesn’t seem as much community related as I envisioned this space to be.”

Somerset Coun. Diane Holmes supported the move. She said Ottawa Tourism is deserving of a “public benefit” as an economic driver for the city and region because it supports Ottawa’s third-largest industry: tourism.

“It’s an opportunity to help tourism in Ottawa, which is a major responsibility of the city,” she said.

The deal would give Ottawa Tourism a lower rent comparable to what it pays now for its space on Albert

Street for 10 years, after which the agency would have to pay whatever rent Morguard charges.

It’s unlikely that any local arts or cultural group would be able to support Morguard’s market-rate rent in the future, so those groups would like end up moving out, Holmes said. Besides, the city has worked with arts groups on a plan to concentrate local arts facilities at Arts Court on Daly Avenue, which is awaiting federal funding in order to begin redevelopment.

Ottawa Tourism operates independently from the city, although the city does give it $550,000 a year for major events. The city’s offer of space at 150 Elgin St. is worth about $1.3 million over 10 years, which significantly increases the city’s contribution to the agency.

NEVIL HUNT/METROLAND

A construction vehicle sits at the future centre ice of one of the Minto Recreation Complex’s two rinks as construction workers form the spectator stands. The centre is expected to open on schedule in the fall of 2014 at the corner of Cambrian and Greenbank roads.

Barrhaven’s new sports centre on schedule

nevil.hunt@metroland.com

News - Looking at the Minto Recreation Complex today, it’s possible to imagine swimmers in the pool and skaters lacing them up for hockey or figure skating.

There’s little more than year to go until the centre opens at Cambrian and Greenbank roads and Barrhaven Coun.

Jan Harder says construction is on schedule.

“This is the largest recreation development in the city since amalgamation,” Harder said of the centre, which will cost $55 million to build.

A press conference to update the public was held Sept.

4 next to the construction site to mark the installation of the huge wooden beams that will form the ceiling of the sixlane, 25-metre pool.

The beams are made from

S E L F

CARP

planned for the centre include a wading pool, gym, a cardio and weight room, an indoor running track and multipurpose rooms that can be used for activities like meetings, yoga or child care.

Outside the building will be an artificial turf field for soccer and football complete with lights for nighttime use.

Johnston said the completed Minto Recreation Complex will have about 14,000 square metres of space, similar in size to the Walter Baker Centre in Barrhaven, minus its library branch.

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun.

Scott Moffatt said residents of rural south Ottawa will enjoy using the centre. He said his children have taken swimming lessons at the Walter Baker Centre and the growing community of Manotick always has plenty of demand for ice time.

Construction contractor EllisDon chose the Sept. 4 update event to hold a barbecue on the site for construction workers and visitors, and used the funds raised to help CHEO buy child seats for parents leaving the hospital. Donations from diners and EllisDon totalled $5,000.

laminated wood and are expected to be one of the most memorable features inside the building.

Matthew Johnston is an architect with Perkins and Will Canada. He said the wooden beams were chosen for their aesthetic appeal as well as the material’s ability to deal with high humidity inside the pool area.

A few steps away, heat won’t be an issue inside two arenas. Perkins and Will have selected an air-handling system that will capture excess heat from the rinks to preheat pool water, part of a design that is expected to receive an environmental certification that acknowledges green design.

Both rinks will be NHLregulation size, with one designed to also accommodate sledge hockey players, with plastic windows along the bench boards and no door sill to prevent sledges from entering and exiting the bench area.

From Cambrian Road, passersby can see the spectator seating area for one rink starting to take shape, as well as the wooden beams above the future pool. Other features

Aries, you may not like scheduling too many things in advance, but sometimes it pays to plan and let others know your schedule so their minds are at ease.

You may experience a financial windfall this week, Taurus. It may be a good time to ask for a raise or to play the lottery. Luck is on your side in the coming days.

Gemini, expand your horizons and your path to success will be illuminated. Creativity will bring new opportunities and people into your life this week.

Share your optimism and enthusiasm with others, Cancer. You may prove unable to contain your happiness, so don’t be surprised if those around you pick up that vibe.

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue

Leo, expect your social life to take off this week. Things pick up with your friends, and romance might be right around the corner. Enjoy the ride.

Virgo, you might think you can do no wrong at work, but scale back on risky decisions. Right now you have achieved financial stability, and you don’t want to risk that.

Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.
