News - The newly built Richcraft Recreation Complex is slated to have its grand opening on Dec. 5.

The state-of-the-art facility, located at 4101 Innovation Dr., will have a soft opening for the month of December, so people have time to try about the facilities, classes and pool, said Chantal Laporte, recreation portfolio manager. Programming will start in January.

“You get to see what’s offered,” she said of the December opening date, adding staff are planning to move in the last week of October.

“Right now I have to say that it’s looking very good.”

A winter program guide has been released, but it’s “a living document,” said Laporte, adding programs and classes may be added or changed depending on public demand.

“Fitness classes evolve constantly,” she said, adding “You will see that there’s programming for all age groups.”

The $43.14-million recreation complex will serve residents of north Kanata and West Carleton with an eight-lane, 25metre swimming pool, two gymnasiums, a fitness centre, a community room, outdoor skateboard park, basketball fields and a lighted artificial turf soccer pitch.

Workshop offers residents chance to plan new community Protecting trees, widening of March Road, buffers between communities top list Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - Residents had the opportunity to be planners for an evening, creating designs for a new residential community in north Kanata as part of the urban boundary expansion.

Everyone participating at one of 12 tables was given a map of the area, along with cut-outs of needed infrastructure, markers and tracer sheets.

Each table had to include storm water management ponds, four schools (one for each board), six parks, a library and a 300- or 500-space parkand-ride facility.

“For one night you all get to be planners,” said Kanata North Coun.

Marianne Wilkinson. “Show us exactly what you’d like to see on this property.”

A number of tables wanted to see a forested area kept intact to the east of March Road bordering the rail line.

“It’s a wildlife destination,” said Marjorie Edwards, member of the March Rural Community Association. “It needs to be protected.”

Murray Chown, Novatech Engineering’s project manager working

on the housing project, said it’s possible to keep the trees by creating higher density elsewhere in the community.

Other tables wanted to ensure March Road is widened to Dunrobin Road to accommodate an increase in vehicles.

West-Carleton Coun. Eli El-Chantiry said the expansion of March Road to Dunrobin Road has been taken out of the transportation master plan, but that he and Wilkinson are working to get it back on the table.

“You can’t put 8,500 people in this area without widening March Road,” he said.

The widening of March Road was originally in the 2008 transportation master plan, and its environmental assessment is complete.

Jessica Cunha/Metroland

MARCH ROAD MEDIAN

Another idea was to construct a very wide median in the middle of March Road, creating a central hub area that would have a community park, a park-and-ride facility, highdensity housing and retail in the centre of the road break.

From left, Morgan’s Grant resident John Penner, city planner Peter Giles, March Rural Community Association member Marjorie Edwards and MRCA president Alex Aronec discuss how they would like to see a new community developed along March Road on Oct. 24. north- and south-bound lanes and creating a wide median, “it gives you a high-speed road.”

The lands are bordered by Old Carp Road, Windance and Celtic

“It makes it a destination,” said John Penner, a Morgan’s Grant resident and member of the public advisory committee for the new community, adding that by separating the

Ridge crescents, Murphy Court, Nadia Court, Houston Crescent and the rail corridor.

More time for people to swim laps at new complex any other city-run centre, and several different packages are available.

Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said there is a youth room in the centre and she plans to get local teens involved in deciding what the centre offers.

“We’re going to get some of the youth from the high schools to design the programs,” she said. “It gives them a real own-

“The complex … has, and I know a lot of people are excited about that, a large pool,” said Laporte. “We have more time for people to swim laps and exercise.”

Once a week, the centre will also offer a women’s only swim.

Memberships to the facility are also transferable to

ership.”

She added that the complex’s outdoor facilities, such as the skate park and children’s play area, will be open before the building’s grand opening.

The complex is being built to LEED gold certification standards for energy efficiency and sustainability.

Laporte said feedback from the public is welcome and will help the recreation centre shape

its classes and programs.

“Do not hesitate to provide it,” she said. “They want to know what you want. It’s not about us, it’s about you. It sounds cheesy but it’s true.

“The more you tell us what you want, the more we modify the schedule.”

FUNDRAISERS

Kanata Race Day, a fund-

raiser for the centre, will be held on Nov. 3, with the oneand five-kilometre races starting at the new recreation complex.

“We’re going to be able to use a corner of the building where there’s washrooms and a meeting room,” said Wilkinson.

Participants will run through the woods and Goulbourn Forced Road will be closed

Residents want to see ‘Westboro-type atmosphere’

Judy Makin what we want to see and come up with a plan that meets the city’s density requirements and is still liveable.”

El-Chantiry said it was good to see residents engaged in the future of the area.

“I think it was a very highlevel (of) discussion at the tables,” he said.

Three draft proposals will be created using the material gathered from the workshop, which should be ready before Christmas, said Chown.

Another public meeting will be held where people can review the draft plans. A final draft option will be created in the spring after comments are received.

The minimum density for the area is 34 units per net residential hectare, which doesn’t include space set aside for infrastructure, parks, schools or commercial structures.

Table four wanted to see the new community incorporate a “Westboro-type atmosphere” with a mixture of high-density residential units, retail and park space.

“It would be nice to avoid a Merivale-like corridor,” said a resident, alluding to that road’s strip malls and traffic woes.

Others wanted to ensure there

were proper buffers – such as trees and low-density housing – in place between existing communities and the new area.

“I really appreciate the opportunity to give input at an earlier stage,” said north Kanata resident Evelyn Abell. “I’m pleased to see the commonality among such a diverse group.”

About 75 people took part in the March Road expansion workshop, held on Oct. 24 in the parish hall at St. Isidore Church.

What’s in the budget for your neighbourhood?

News - Homeowners in Ottawa’s urban area will see an average of an extra $62 on their city tax bill in 2014.

That 1.9 per cent increase – the smallest municipal tax-rate increase in seven years – was proposed in the city’s draft budget, released on Oct. 23.

The increase for rural homeowners is slightly smaller – a 1.9 per cent increase for an average of $55 extra per home.

Residential garbage fees would be held at $82 and recreation fees will continue to be frozen – a promise the mayor made during his election campaign in 2010. The mayor’s salary and councillors’ office budgets

struction projects, so the city won’t have to take on any additional debt in 2014, Mayor Jim Watson said.

The city does plan to take out new debt equivalent to the amount of debt it will retire from its books in 2014, said city treasurer Marian Simulik.

ROADS, CYCLING AND SIDEWALKS

The draft budget includes more than $11 million to break ground on the west section of the Transitway to connect Bayshore Station to Moodie Drive. Environmental studies of proposed light-rail extensions from Lincoln Fields to Bayshore are also on the books.

The equivalent of 55 full-time jobs would be eliminated without layoffs if the budget passes. All of those positions were vacated by employees leaving or retiring in the last six months and the city is not keeping them open for future hires.

Next year is also when residents and businesses will see a number of key city services go online: the MyServiceOttawa online account will let people view and pay water and tax bills online, as well as apply for a number of licences and permits. A mobile app for 311 service requests is also in the works.

the recent transportation master plan – would get a $31-million boost as part of the draft budget. It would see Campeau extended west from Didsbury Road to Huntmar Drive.

The draft budget also contains money to extend Country Club Road (Gold Club Way) to Jinkinson Road.

There is also money to upgrade Klondike Road to an urban road between March and Sandhill roads.

The Fitzroy Station bridge over the Carp River would get repairs and upgrades to help the bridge withstand earthquakes. A $1.2 million renewal of the Prince of Wales Drive and Nepean Creek bridge culvert in Knoxdale-Merivale Ward would be completed.

The city also plans to do $3.9 million in water and sewer work on Sherry Lane and Brent Avenue.

Ottawa on the Move will continue with 150 projects hitting the ground in 2014 In the west end, roads to be resurfaced include: • Sections of Carling Avenue • Richmond Road • Baseline Road • West Hunt Club Road • Meadowlands Drive • Corkstown Road • Palomino Drive • Dunhaven Drive • Beverly Street • Carp Road Overall, the city plans to spend $45 million to resurface roads in 2014 and an additional $4 million to improve traffic flow through key intersections during rush hour, including West Hunt Club Road at Merivale Road and at Woodroffe Avenue.

A new park-and-ride lot on Innovation Drive in Kanata is planned to be funded in the draft budget.

New sidewalks are planned to be built on Katimavik Road from Davis Avenue to the multi-use pathway, on Klondike Road from March Road to

Sandhill Road and on the south side of Meadowlands Drive from Fisher Avenue to Apeldoorn Avenue.

Other pedestrian improvements planned for the west end include sidewalk replacement on sections of Richmond Road as well as Castlefrank Road and Winchester Drive.

Cycling facilities would see $2 million in improvements in 2014, according to the budget, which also contains money for a new cycling transportation planning staff member.

Two new facilities will open in the west end in 2014: the Richcraft Recreation Complex in north Kanata and the Beaverbrook branch of the public library. Additional staff for those facilities is included in the draft 2014 budget.

New parks on the books for 2014 include: • Blackstone Park • Green Meadows • Meadow Breeze Park • Monahan Landing Park • Richardson Ridge Park Overall the city plans to spend $2 million to improve accessibility in its parks and buildings, including: Bob MacQuarrie Recreation Complex, Blackburn Community Centre and Cyrville Community Centre.

Animal refuge to throws open its doors

JESSICA CUNHA/METROLAND

Lynne Rowe, founder of the Constance Creek Wildlife Refuge, is opening her farm to the public on Nov. 3.

People are invited to get hands-on with her rescue farm animals and learn about the programs she offers through the centre.

Public invited to an open farm on Nov. 3 jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - Lynne Rowe, founder of the Constance Creek Wildlife Refuge, will open her doors on Nov. 3 to allow the public a hands-on experience with her rescued farm animals.

The event will feature tours of the farm, as well as bake and garage sales to raise funds for the animals’ needs.

“People can come and stop by and see what we do,” said Rowe. “They can do an educational tour, go right in with the animals to meet them … and learn about our programs.”

The Constance Creek Wildlife Refuge was voted the non-profit of the year in West Carleton during the 2013 Kanata Chamber of Commerce People’s Choice Business Awards.

“We’re really grateful,” she said.

Rowe houses a number of rescued goats, alpacas, horses, ponies and pigs, as well as domesticated animals like dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs.

“I want to make the public more aware of what we offer,” she said.

Rowe offers educational tours by appointment, as well as summer camps for youth and community service hours for high school students.

This year’s camp was extremely successful, she said.

“It’s entirely hands-on,” Rowe added. “The families that participate find it really special.”

Youth are taught how to care for each animal, and spend time learning about the natural environment, said Rowe.

“There’s a huge amount that they will take away from the program.”

Last winter, Rowe fostered a number of her goats, ponies and alpacas, which helped reduce the burden on the sanctuary. She’s hoping to do the same this year, as well as find people who are willing to make small monthly donations to keep the centre running.

“Ten bucks a month from 50 different people could make a huge difference for us,” she said. “It all depends on support from the community.

There’s no government funding.”

WILDLIFE

The open farm is also a chance for people to learn about Rowe’s ongoing vision for a wildlife centre.

The Dunrobin woman has been trying to get a licence from the Ministry of Natural Resources to take in injured or orphaned wildlife, but so far her application hasn’t been approved.

She hopes to open a wildlife rehabili-

tation centre that will deal with fawns and small mammals.

“We have to think about how we Didn’t get your want our city to respond to these War Amps key tags things,” she said, citing an elk that in the mail? was shot in Ottawa and a fawn shot in Order them today!

Gatineau earlier this fall. “There has to be a co-ordinated response.”

She said having trained wildlife custodians able to attend those calls could have resulted in a different outcome in both cases.

“It could have been dealt with a different way,” she said.

She said she’s received a number of calls about injured wildlife but without a licence, is limited in what she can do. In the summer, Rowe Ali and Branden Attach a War Amps helped rescue a fawn that was trapped confidentially coded in a fence. key tag to your key ring.

McMurtry Tannery in West Carleton to be torn down Building from mid-1800s never received heritage status Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - An old stone building in West Carleton dating back to the mid-1800s was in the process of being demol-

C

ished starting the weekend of Oct. 26.

The McMurtry Tannery was fenced off on Oct. 24 and a small backhoe was on site the following day. Located at the corner of Old Carp and

Old Second Line roads, the building was likely constructed between the 1830s and 1850s, said Judy Makin, pastpresident of the March Rural Community Association.

“It’s probably the oldest piece of heritage in the community,” she said, adding that many residents in the area contacted their councillor, Eli ElChantiry, as well as the city’s heritage department about the

demolition.

The tannery never received heritage status.

“Because this building never received heritage designation, it cannot be saved at this point,” Makin said. “If nothing else, then I think it’s a lesson learned.”

Makin said no one can assume a building will be spared just because of its age. She said the community association will take a hard look at other sites in the area that could benefit from a heritage designation.

“If there are any heritage sites in our community that we feel should be protected, we must work with the city to establish a heritage designation,” she said in an email to

members.

West Carleton-March Coun. El-Chantiry said he didn’t know about the demolition until he received emails from residents. After checking into the background, he said the Fuller family, who own the building, applied for a permit to demolish the structure on Oct. 22.

“We checked with the staff.

They told us it wasn’t a heritage building, not even on the list,” said El-Chantiry. “The building wasn’t in good condition.”

He said there have been no applications to the city to build something else on the site.

“We don’t have anything on record except for the permit to demolish the site,” El-Chan-

tiry said.

The McMurtry Tannery, where leather was processed in the mid-1800s, had fallen into a state of ruin – the roof was caving in and stones were crumbling from around the windows.

“It’s not in good shape but the residents are fond of it,” said Makin.

The tannery was once part of the old village of Lewisville, now known as South March. It survived the great fire of the late-1800s that ravaged the Ottawa Valley, according to a report on a website run by Paul Renaud, a local environmentalist with an interest in the South March Highlands.

NEWS LETTER

Where’s the LRT for Kanata?

To the editor,

The new draft Transportation Master Plan was announced recently by Mayor Jim Watson. In addition to the initial implementation of the local rapid transit currently under way, the plan forecasts transportation needs as far

Connected to your community

as the year 2031, including the requirements for transit, roads, pedestrians and cycling.

However, if you are a resident of the Kanata-Stittsville area, the future rapid transit service priorities proposed in the plan should leave you extremely disappointed.

In the “affordable” version of the plan, an LRT extension is shown connecting the eastern suburban hub of Orleans.

This section is probably ripe for an early implementation.

Another major part of the plan is the extension of the O-Train south from Westboro into the Leitrim-Bowesville

area. But a check of the transportation plan map shows this line ending in an undeveloped area out in the middle of nowhere.

Yet in the major growth area of Kanata-Stittsville, the only rapid transit indicated is a mixture of a short bus rapid transit extension, continuing with Highway 417 bus lanes and BRT service north on March Road.

Instead of extending LRT into the Kanata Town Centre, the service will end at Bayshore shopping centre, requiring Kanata-Stittsville residents to transfer from buses

at this point. Equally disturbing, the planned BRT into the Kanata West-Fernbank areas have been removed from the plan.

Ottawa residents realize that funding is, and always will be, a limiting factor in the planning of future transportation infrastructure. However, it is difficult to believe the western hub of Kanata-Stittsville has insurmountable right of way problems – at least as far as Terry Fox Drive. At this point, any discussion regarding rapid transit access to the Canadian Tire Centre would be a waste of time.

Kanata-Stittsville represents the highest growth of the three suburban hubs in terms of current and future population and business. Many residents of this area might be less concerned about when an extension would be coming to Kanata as opposed to why the area is not even substantially on the proposed LRT/BRT map.

This plan will make no sense to residents of the Kanata-Stittsville area and to many Ottawa citizens in general.

The plan needs to be substantially modified and improved to provide better rapid transit service to Ottawa’s western suburban hub.

EDITORIAL

Calm amidst political storms

I

f for no other reason, Ottawa’s city council should be applauded for bringing a muchneeded dose of stability to an otherwise messy political scene with its 2014 draft budget tabled last week.

Amid the gusting winds of a Senate scandal on Parliament Hill and the simmering gas plant saga surrounding the minority Liberals at Queen’s Park, voters in this city should be thankful that, at a minimum, there is stability on Laurier Avenue.

For the fourth year running, the council led by Mayor Jim Watson has presented a budget that has managed to keep the accompanying property tax hike below 2.5 per cent (the hike will be a mere 1.9 per cent in 2014 if the plan passes). That is no easy feat, especially considering the wide-ranging scope of infrastructure and transportation-related projects either underway or being planned across the city.

But with an election only a year away, what is in store for Ottawans when the bills start arriving for the grand vision that is the transportation master plan (also in draft form currently) and things like Canada’s 150th birthday celebration? Will modest tax increases still be a viable option when it’s time to fund rail to OrlÊans (and Riverside South, Algonquin College and Bayshore)?

The sesquicentennial is something that shouldn’t be underestimated in the years to come: yes the federal and provincial governments will pick up much of the tab, but the temptation will be strong for municipal politicians to make their mark when the country celebrates a century and a half of Confederation.

And what of political ambition? Next October voters head back to the polls to pass judgement on this council and those seeking to supplant the current class of civic leaders. Will fiscal prudence be enough to sway the hearts and minds of Ottawa? Or will a new, more expensive vision win the day?

New parks, community centres, libraries, arenas, baseball diamonds, soccer fields and cycling lanes are things that many people want, yet are often told the city can’t afford. Who is to say voters couldn’t be sold on an extra one per cent on their tax bill in exchange for such civic improvements.

The next election will doubtlessly be a referendum on Watson, especially his tight control over the city’s purse strings. This doesn’t mean he won’t change his tune by the time election season gets underway late next summer, but it would be surprising if he did.

In the meantime, residents should rest easy knowing scandal and chaos are nowhere to be found at city hall – just business as usual.

Fighting the curse of sameness

I

t’s a rather abstract concept for city planners and city councils to think about, but one of the biggest threats to any city, including ours, is the curse of sameness.

Sameness has the power of the economic system behind it, not to mention certain cultural forces as well.

To illustrate, look at a recent headline in the Globe and Mail: “Put away your sou’wester. Chic is the new norm in Newfoundland’s big city – so are espresso bars and restaurants with a refined culinary focus.�

Inside, the article begins: “Ten years go, it was impossible to get a decent cup of coffee in downtown St. John’s.â€? But, the article cheerfully goes on, oil-driven economic prosperity has changed all that: “It’s hard to walk for a block on Water Street, the city’s main drag, without hitting a slick cafĂŠ.â€?

You’ll note the sense of relief here, in that “all across the city, there’s a newfound sense of urban cosmopolitanism that seems to have everyone a bit gobsmacked.�

In other words, St. John’s could be becoming more like Toronto. Is that good? Perhaps it is if you’re from another place and your priority is finding a cup of coffee. But not so

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town much if you live there and want your town to keep its identity. And not so much if you’re from another town and want to see a place that’s different from the one you came from.

Sameness is not an overnight thing. It has been creeping in for decades, beginning in the suburbs and working its way downtown.

I remember visiting St. John’s 25 years ago and walking around a mall looking for something Newfoundlandesque to bring home as a present. I couldn’t find anything. Everything in that mall I could have found at Bayshore.

But then, malls do that. Generally speaking, the stores in them are part of national or continental chains. The merchandise comes from elsewhere.

Although many city cores, including, actually, St. John’s, retain their distinctiveness,

the suburban sameness trend has intensified in the past 25 years, propelled by the big box store and the power centre. If you went to, say, the Centrum in Kanata, you could just as easily be in a suburb of Birmingham, Alabama as in a suburb of Ottawa, Ontario.

There is probably no fighting this. Free trade, globalization – all today’s economic forces push it. It doesn’t help that we, the consumers, are doing some pushing of our own, demanding the same products, the same services, the same slick cafÊs that are available elsewhere.

We also want all the same television shows and with them, we see the same advertisements for the same products that are seen everywhere else.

Given all that, it is a wonder that anything distinctive survives anywhere. Still, it is an incentive to protect what we can of the things that separate one community from another.

There is more to city life than slick cafĂŠs.

At the very least we can make our slick cafÊs different from other cities’ slick cafÊs.

It comes down to protecting and encouraging local owners. How this is to be done is not easy to figure out or someone would have figured it out by now. We sort of know what not to do. We know not to say yes to every

developer who wants to put a condo where a theatre was. But we don’t know where to find the courage to say it.

We know not to let commercial rents rise so high that only chains can afford to pay them. But again, we haven’t found a way to do that.

We know we should be encouraging local shoppers to shop local, but again, how do we do that, particularly when the chains are selling stuff cheaper?

A good start would be at least to recognize what is unique about the city and recognize that it is worth keeping.

Sen. Mike Duffy: the fish rots from the head

E

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse believed in his happy persona and they were delighted to have him.

And Duffy went on to travel the country, raking in tens of thousands of dollars at fundraising dinners for the Conservative Party, attracting the attention of local media (free advertising) wherever he went.

Some national publications – notably Maclean’s – started sniffing around senator expense claims.

They found out Duffy was spending nearly twice as much as some of his colleagues. Initially the journalists were told to go away and Duffy was staunchly defended by his Conservative colleagues on the Hill, including Prime Minister Harper, himself.

It was around that time that Duffy – so the story goes – outlived his usefulness to the Conservatives. At first they protected him. But after too much bad media, the Conservatives did what they’ve done to so

many innocent Hill staffers and Prime Minister’s Office officials over the past seven years – including former chief of staff Nigel Wright – they threw Duffy under the bus.

At least, they tried. But Duffy was too big to get stuck under there – not physically, but figuratively speaking. As the media trial of Duffy escalated, the wily senator

Then along comes Prime Minister Harper and makes Duffy’s dream come true was hiring himself a lawyer and preparing to do what he’s always done best – spill the beans, get the gossip, tell the truth that’s whispered in the limestone halls of Centre Block, away from the microphones and the cameras.

Duffy announced to the Senate this month that Harper – the prime minister, himself – not only knew about the expense claims, but or-

dered Duffy to pay them back. The deed is done – the prime minister is directly implicated in all the shady dealings.

Perhaps Duffy is having his comeuppance. But at the same time, let’s not cloud the real problem – something even Harper used to believe: the Senate is a sick institution.

Deloitte, the firm hired to audit Senate expenses, essentially said senators may have made some questionable claims, but the Senate makes its own rules and it allowed the claims to go through.

Duffy may be the morally corrupt, ruthlessly ambitious individual the media has painted him to be, but there is no doubt he has been made a scapegoat for a much larger problem. There is a systemic sickness that needs to be addressed.

The Senate is a place of entitlement where many, long before Duffy and the others now under the spotlight, have been permitted to spend taxpayer money without scrutiny.

And if Duffy’s allegations of the prime minister’s direct involvement are true, it would seem the fish is rotting from the head.

verybody’s hating Sen. Mike Duffy these days.

Maclean’s magazine wrote a scathing profile of Duffy’s rise in broadcasting. We learned all about what a horrible person Duffy was, about his near lifelong ambition to be appointed to the Senate. We learned he allegedly manipulated and threatened his way to the top of CTV, demanding hundreds of thousands of dollars in compensation, plus wardrobe allowance; that he hired and fired producers at whim.

Assuming the Maclean’s feature is true, however, it tells us more “news” about CTV, the institution, than it does about Duffy. It was the institution that allowed Duffy to be – it was the institution and its executives that promoted him, supported his quirky demands (such as calling him “the senator”) and fostered Duffy’s sense of entitlement.

Then along comes Prime Minister Harper and makes Duffy’s dream come true. Harper appoints Duffy to the Senate, representing Prince Edward Island. Nobody seemed to care at the time that Duffy hadn’t lived on P.E.I. for decades. Everyone

Robb Nash Project connects with teens Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - After a serious vehicle accident left him for dead, Robb Nash used his own experience with depression, self-doubt and thoughts of suicide during a presentation at Earl of March Secondary School on Oct. 24.

Instead of preaching at the students at the assembly, he used humour, voice-mimicry, music and straight talk to connect on a level that’s rarely seen in high school presentations.

“Personally, (it) really affected me,” said Grade 12 student Andrea Rousseau after the show.

Andrea was in a minor car accident last August and wrote a song to help her through the process, which she performed at a school coffee house earlier this month.

When Nash showed up at the school and asked if there was someone who could perform onstage with him, Andrea was volunteered.

She said she was extremely grateful for the opportunity to meet Nash, perform with him, and listen to his story.

“It meant a lot that I was

able to be a part of it,” Andrea said, adding she hopes the presentation resonated with other students. “I think it will help our school dynamic … We lost a student to suicide last year.”

I DIDN’T WANT TO BE ALIVE

Nash was a passenger in a car hit by a transport truck when he was 17. He and a group of friends were speeding down ice-slicked roads on the way to school and as they went to pass a vehicle, the young driver lost control, spinning into the oncoming truck. With the force of the impact, Nash was thrown into the trunk of the car. He fractured his skull and had no pulse when emergency workers arrived at the scene. No one expected him to live.

But he pulled through.

After coming out of a three-month coma, Nash said he struggled to find out why the accident happened and why he was spared. “I’d lay there trying to figure out what the reason was,” he said.

“I couldn’t get up. I couldn’t walk on my own. Man, I was so ticked. Here I was, 17years-old and my mom had to

bathe me again. “All of a sudden I started hearing voices in my head every night that terrified me. I started hearing ‘You’re useless now, there’s no reason for you. You’re useless, there’s no reason for you.’ And I didn’t want to be alive.”

Then someone told him the reason for the accident: reckless speeding on icy roads.

Nash said the simple truth of the answer helped him get over his anger and begin to turn his life in a positive direction.

“Things don’t happen for a reason, things happen with potential,” he said. “That accident had the potential to leave me angry and bitter for the rest of my life … or there was the potential I could turn it around and tell my story to others.”

POSITIVE CHOICES

To date, Nash has spoken to more than 800,000 students across the country in schools, youth detention centres and prisons through the Robb Nash Project. He uses his music and stories to drive home points on suicide, bullying, addiction and depres-

sion, encouraging students to make positive choices.

In one example, he and his band travelled to a school in British Colombia where drinking, doing drugs and driving were a common occurrence among the students.

Nash geared his message towards the issue.

But three students left the presentation to drink and do drugs in the school’s parking lot before getting behind the wheel. “While we sat in the school – told them stories, warnings about drinking and driving – these three dudes got into a car and they ran over a three-year-old girl and her mom at a crosswalk and killed them both,” said Nash.

“You can’t erase s--- like that. That’s why we tell you these stories; that’s why your teachers want you to have presentations – so you don’t have to wait for a tragedy. If I thought everyone had to hit rock bottom to learn a lesson I’d stop this tour right now.”

He said it’s about how people respond to the bad days, to the pain, to the tragedy. Although it hurts, everyone has the strength if they’re willing to look for it and act on it.

“There’s a thief out there

But listen to this closely – pain doesn’t go away but neither does your strength. The pain, you feel it automatically. The strength, you have to decide to go and get it every day.

“I know you guys have seen tragedy. Now it’s about what you’re going to do with

that. Take care of each other, talk to each other,” he added.

“We’re not trying to change the world; we’re trying to create world changers. We want you guys to go do it.”

Robb Nash received the 2013 Bell Kaleidoscope of Hope Award on Oct. 26 for “promoting the message of acceptance and respect for others.”

News - Medical tech company Nordion is hoping a delay will mean more public consultation on a proposed new school near its Kanata facility.

The city’s planning committee had to delay a decision on a rezoning for a proposed new public elementary school at 2101 and 3101 Innovation Dr. after Nordion informed the city that it hadn’t received the required notice about the meeting.

Nordion spokeswoman Ana Raman said the company is pleased with the delay because it is not in favour of the school being located there.

“We’re hoping that now that they have made that decision (to delay a decision) and sent us notification, they will continue to follow the appropriate process,” she said.

The company, which employs 400 people to produce medical isotopes and sterilization

equipment, has been located on March Road for 50 years.

“If we choose down the road to expand our operations on the site, the closer we’d potentially get to the proposed school site, we want to make sure there are no limitations there,” Raman said.

The company doesn’t have any immediate plans for expansion, she said, but options are always under consideration and the company is currently studying the potential business impact of the school being built on Innovation Drive.

Concerns about creating traffic and slowing the delivery of medical isotopes is a concern, Raman said.

“We do deal with radioactive isotopes and they do have a decay component, which is associated with nuclear material,” Raman said. “Given that there is a time sensitivity to our products, we need to be well aware of that.”

Raman said the nuclear materials are federally regulated,

but the company is willing to provide input to the city on that and all potential considerations of locating a school on Innovation Drive.

“We’ve seen businesses and the community develop around us,” Raman said. “We are heavily regulated by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission and we have an excellent track record around environment, health and safety … Ultimately the City of Ottawa, we believe, will have the responsibility of doing a full and comprehensive assessment and considering our input.”

The Ottawa public school board purchased the two pieces of land in April, 6.7 hectares in total, located in Morgan’s Grant from smartphone maker BlackBerry.

The plans call for the construction of a two-storey school with 26 classrooms and 5,489 square metres of floor space.

The school is slated to open in September 2015 and will have a maximum enrolment of

619 students in kindergarten to Grade 8.

“The good news is it’s going to mean the overcrowding that’s been in Kanata north for a long time is going to be helped significantly,” said Kanata trustee Christine Boothby when the board bought the land.

Boothby said she was initially surprised by the business park location, but she realized it is near the future Richcraft Recreation Centre and Monk Environmental Park, providing opportunities for outdoor classes.

Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said she recognizes the need for a new school but her preference would have been for the board to look elsewhere, such as in a newer development.

The school board wasn’t interested in seeking another site because it needs to have the building ready in time for the 2015 school year, she said.

Since 2011, the Hydro Ottawa Brighter Tomorrows Fund has helped frontline agencies serving people who are homeless or at risk of being homeless reduce energy costs, improve their facilities, and create a safe and comfortable living environment for clients.

This year nearly $140,000, including $33,000 from the provincial saveONenergy incentive, was awarded to 10 agencies for 11 energy saving projects, including replacing leaky windows, installing a high-efficiency heating and cooling system, purchasing new energyefficient appliances, and upgrading lighting systems. These upgrades will help recipient agencies reduce energy bills and redirect savings into programming.

“The Brighter Tomorrows Fund allows Hydro Ottawa to make a meaningful and longlasting contribution to our community and the environment,” said Hydro Ottawa President and CEO Bryce Conrad. “It gives agencies the opportunity to invest in the energy efficiency technologies today that can save thousands in operating costs tomorrow. The cost savings can then go right back into funding the core work these agencies do to support their clients.”

Ottawa Chorus prepares for international competition ‘We are absolutely aiming for the top 10’: director Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Arts - In a harmonious lead-up to its 30th year, the Canadian Showtime Chorus will head to Hawaii for an international singing competition in November.

The chorus, which features more than 100 vocally talented women from across Ottawa and the Valley, will participate in the Sweet Adelines International competition, which runs from Nov. 4 to 9 in Honolulu.

“We’ll be seeing some of the top choruses in the world,” said Nancy Lambrechts, a Katimavik resident. “Just to experience this whole international competition on such a grand scale.”

The Canadian Showtime Chorus is one of hundreds of groups from around the world – including Sweden, New Zealand, Australia, Great Britain, and the United States – that belong to Sweet Adelines International, which focuses on the art of barbershop harmony. Even though they’re up against strong competition, the Ottawa chorus is aiming for the top.

“We are absolutely aiming for the top 10,” said Canadian

The Canadian Showtime Chorus, which features women from across the city, will participate in the Sweet Adelines International competition, which runs from Nov. 4 to 9 in Hawaii.

Showtime Chorus director and founder Sandie Nason, who lives and works in Nepean.

“All of the judges who have seen us have said we have everything we need to make the top 10.”

In Hawaii, the chorus will perform two songs in six min-

utes – Time After Time and Oh, You Beautiful Doll.

“When the lights come up there will be 10,000 people in the audience,” said Nason.

“We want to move that audience. We want them to get teary. We want their heart to race and laugh a little.”

The group practises every Tuesday at the Nepean Creative Arts Centre in Bells Corners and works with coaches on the weekends leading up to the competition. “It’s incredible walking into a room with 100 excited women because they don’t hide it,” said Nason.

“They are just (so) excited.

Me, I’m just hugely proud of them because they’ve worked so hard.”

The Ottawa chorus is part of the largest region in the Sweet Adeline organization, competing against 30 other choruses in the regional contest to land a spot at the international competition. This is the fifth time the Canadian Showtime Chorus will compete at the international level.The Canadian Showtime Chorus will celebrate its 30th anniversary in January. Nason had been a chorus director in Alberta for five years when she moved to Ottawa. She didn’t want to lose her connection to the Sweet Adelines so she went door-to-door in Barrhaven, handing out pamphlets about what she wanted to do.

The first meeting saw four people gather at the Larkin House community building, which the singers shared with hockey players.

“It just grew and grew; every week it grew,” said Nason, adding they now have more than 100 members who hail from as far away as Carleton Place, Kars, Rockland, Orléans and Manotick.

“It’s hard to put into words.

Kanata Theatre director talks Agnes of God Audience can expect intellect and emotion from play directed

by Tom Kobolak Kanata Theatre

Arts - Director Tom Kobolak is well known at Kanata Theatre for his preference for plays that are full of intellect and emotion, while still offering an evening of entertainment.

Opening Nov. 5 is Kobolak’s interpretation of John Pielmeier’s Agnes of God, a threewoman play about a novice nun suspected of killing her child. The convent’s Mother Superior clashes with a psychiatrist over Agnes’s capacity to stand trial, her mental state and her isolation within the convent.

Kobolak said he was initially attracted to this play because Agnes’ character posed so

many unanswered questions.

“I looked upon the play rather as a study in madness or homicidal mania, or possibly, even divinity,” Kobolak said. “Was she insane? Was she a psychopath, watching the proceedings between the psychiatrist and Mother Superior and choosing to behave in such a manner that her twisted intents would not be discovered?

Or at the far end of the scale, was Agnes really an agent of the Holy Spirit?”

Kobolak said it’s an unusual play in that it tackles themes often overlooked in modern plays.

“The setting of the play within a convent led Kathryn Young-Davies and I to the next stage: the Catholic Sisterhood itself,” he said.

“The history, the accomplishments, the rituals all make for a lot of ... inspiring reading. Nuns give up what the rest of us would refer to as normal life. Prior to Vatican II a postulant entering a contemplative order might actually leave her family at the threshold of a gate;

walk through, turn and wave, and disappear as the gate closes behind her.”

Kobolak said researching the convent lifestyle has given him renewed respect for the calling.

“Their life once through those gates is given up to the task of talking to God. And the history is full of stories of tough, savvy Mother Superiors who succeed in getting hospitals and schools built in locations that might best be described as ‘ungodly.’ These ladies are worthy of great, great respect.”

Kobolak’s past directorial successes include Dancing at Lughnasa, a story of five sisters in 1930’s rural Ireland; The Inheritance, which explores the ghosts of unresolved motherdaughter conflicts, and Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.

Kanata Theatre’s production of Agnes of God runs at the Ron Maslin Playhouse, 1 Ron Maslin Way, just off Terry Fox in Walter Baker Park, from Nov. 5 to 9 and Nov. 12 to 16.

A youthful fascination with people’s hands

O

ften, when I was sitting at the old pine table at night with the coal oil lamp giving off faint shards of light, I examined the hands of those around me.

For reasons I was never able to explain, I was deeply interested in other people’s hands. Even though the same blood ran through our veins, there weren’t two of us with the same hand shapes.

I would look over at Father, slouched in the old rocking chair close to the Findlay Oval, and I could see his hands holding the Ottawa Farm Journal. They were small hands, I thought, for a man, but I knew them to be powerful. They were calloused and wore the look of hard labour, and they could tie up a pig or roll a heifer with ease.

But when he ruffled my hair, as he often did when he passed me, his hands were gentle and loving.

My sister Audrey had long tapering fingers and I always thought her hands were narrow. I would look at them and try to compare them with my own, which, even with a young eye, I could see that mine were wider by far. How I would envy Audrey her pretty hands.

I knew too, that the reason she was able to do such beautiful hand work, embroidering French knots and lazy daisies on our tea towels and pillow cases, was because she had the perfect hands for the job.

Even the hands of my three brothers differed from each other.

Friends of the Central Earl, the smallest, had hands that Experimental Farm suited his slight build.

Everett, the oldest of the three, had hands that were already beginning to show he would be expected

MARY COOK Memories to carry his weight on the farm. He complained of calluses and often said his fingers hurt. There was little sympathy for Everett -- he was needed on the farm and the sooner he got used to hard work the better off he would be, Father told him.

Emerson, the biggest of the three, but the middle son, had big hands.

They matched perfectly his big frame and his almost six-foot height by the time he was 12 years old.

But Mother always said Emerson had the hands of an artist. How she could tell, I had no idea, but she believed one day Emerson would be a great artist or a builder of fine buildings with those hands. So she squirrelled change out of her egg money from the blue sugar bowl and took advantage of Ritza’s Rexall Drug Store one cent sale and bought him art paper and soft leaded pencils, so sure was she that Emerson’s hands would one day make him famous.

I would look at Mother, too, sitting at the end of the table, with her diaries spread out around her, with a bottle of real ink in front of her and a pen. She always wrote in her diaries with ink, never with pencil. If would look at her hands and then at mine, I would think that our hands of all those in the family were the most alike.

Her two little fingers, like mine, had a slight bend in them. I would watch her, face down over her

diaries, and I would hope that one day I too could fill scribbler after scribbler with my thoughts and wishes, just like my mother. We children were never allowed to read her diaries – “diaries are private” she would say – and we knew better than go near them, stacked in neat piles on one of the top-most shelves of the back-to-the-wall cupboard.

Sometimes, she would write so quickly, as her thoughts came and for so long, that she would have to stop and rub her fingers to ease the stiffness. That’s when I would notice how much our hands were

Everett, the oldest of the three, had hands that were already beginning to show he would be expected to carry his weight on the farm.

At an early age, I noticed the difference between a greeting handshake and one that was used to close a deal. In greeting, the hands were pumped, up and down, up and down, like a pump handle. But if a deal was coming to a close, the hands met in a clasp and one handshake was all it took. One pump and the deal was done. It didn’t take a lawyer to make a deal binding, just a simple handshake.

It was impossible to live in that old log house in Northcote, and not be aware of hands. Clean hands, too – Mother was a stickler for clean hands. The wash basin sat on the bench at the back door, the water changed often, a homemade bar

of soap in a saucer beside it and a huck towel on a roller on the wall.

No one got within a country mile of the table at mealtime without a thorough wash of the hands. We never set out for school without washing our hands. The last thing we did before we crawled into bed at night was wash our hands. Emerson, who thought Mother took this clean hands business too far, often could be heard saying, under his breath of course, “I think we must have the cleanest hands in all of Renfrew County.”

Well, that’s the way Mother wanted it, and what Mother wanted, Mother got. None of us dared question her.

45th SEASON 2013-2014

alike, even though mine were smaller.

My interest in hands came naturally, I decided many years later, because they played such an important part in our lives. Our brothers were taught at an early age to offer a hand to anyone older than they were and whom they happened to meet on the streets of Renfrew. Off would Amis de la Ferme come the caps and the hand would expérimentale centrale be thrust out in greeting. My sister Audrey and I were excused from handshaking, which was a great relief to me.

Homes for the Holidays just around the corner!

by Robert Greenslade The eleventh annual Homes for the Holidays tour on November 15, 16 and 17, is only days away and anticipation is building for this very special event. The tour, now its eleventh year, supports end-of-life care programs offered by Hospice Care Ottawa, including those at the May Court Hospice.

“Homes for the Holidays will help us improve hospice services in Ottawa and reach our goal of increasing the number of area beds,” noted Lisa Sullivan, Executive Director of Hospice Care Ottawa. The tour is open daily from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. and features six outstanding homes in the neighbourhoods of Rockcliffe Park, Rothwell Heights, the Glebe, Old Ottawa South and Island Park Drive.

Prominent area florists and designers will volunteer their decorating skills to the homes: three reflecting a specific seasonal theme (Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day) and three highlighting the festive spirit of the holidays. For example,104 Black Maple Private features a “Very Special Christmas Eve”. This home is one of a collection of six elegant residences on the street. Mood Moss Florist and Jacobsons Gourmet Concepts combine their decorating talents to this home.

Another Rockcliffe Park home, the residence of the Swiss Ambassador to Canada (494 Lansdowne Road North), is a stately French Château-style home, decorated for the tour

by Tivoli Florist. This house was acquired by the Government of Switzerland in 1948 and enjoys frontage on picturesque McKay Lake.

Striking 13 Massey Lane in Rothwell Heights is decorated by Stoneblossom Floral Gallery. The home features mature trees and is notable for its cedar shingles, copper roof accents and front canopy.

A “Christmas Morning Wonder” (Tinseltown offers the Christmas decorative magic here) awaits visitors to 8 Thornton Avenue, just steps from bustling Bank Street. It’s interesting to note that the homeowner and her fatherK worked 1 A closely 0 C 6 to design the exterior and interior of this sun-drenched home.

A relatively new home, designed by Barry Hobin and decorated by Mill Street Florist, 900 Colonel By Drive’s stucco and stone exterior gives way to a light and airy interior and preserves ties to its past by retaining the property’s 150-year-old stone wall.

And visitors will not want to miss 512 Island Park Drive, decorated by Michael Courdin Design, for the “New Year’s Eve Celebration”! This contemporary home features many windows which give the house a strong connection to the outdoors.

Participants will also want to visit the completely revamped Holiday PopUp Shop, this year located at the Official Residence of the Irish Ambassador (291 Park Road). Visitors will be able to get a head start on their holiday shopping and browse the children’s corner, affordable artwork, jewellery, seasonal décor, and delicious preserves prepared by some of the region’s top food purveyors (and visitors can pause for a coffee or tea too). And the best news is you won’t have to go far for tickets! Tickets are available at 25 outlets across the city and via PayPal too.

News - Ottawa police, police staff and lawyers will put aside the handcuffs and sirens for fuzzy cat ears and stage makeup.

From Nov. 6 to 9, legal professionals will perform in the Lawyers Feed the Hungry fundraising play at the Ottawa Little Theatre.

The performance is called Still Looking for Paradise, and follows a small law firm trying

to stop oil drilling in the local community park.

It’s narrated by Mr. Whiskers, the office cat, played by Nepean resident and lawyer Russ Molot.

“It’s a story about a dysfunctional law firm, and how they take on big corporate Canada,” Molot said.

Molot has been in many plays and movies, so he’s no stranger to the stage, unlike Parkdalearea police officer Nicole St. John.

It’s the first time St. John has ever acted, and she’ll take on the role of a junior partner at the law firm.

She’s friends with playwrite Ian Stauffer’s wife, who encouraged her to get involved with the play, a fundraiser for the Lawyers Feed the Hungry program, which runs at the Ottawa Mission.

The hardest part of taking on the role has been memorizing all the lines, St. John said. But as she knows another officer and civilian police staff in the play, at least she has “strength in numbers,” she said.

“Each week I feel more confident. It’s been nice working on the stage,” St. John said. She’s been travelling to the Shenk-

Outside of that, rehearsals have been held at the main police station on Elgin Street.

Stauffer has been behind many fundraising plays at the

Great Canadian Theatre Company on Wellington Street. Because of his police officer-wife, he decided to write another play to raise more funds for the program.

Langston came on as the artistic director, and said she got more talent than she bargained

for with the rookie actors - less than a third of the actors in the performance have acted before.

“They’re really good,” Langston said. “It’s been so much fun.

I think people forget that people officers are people too.”

Lawrence Wall, of CBC radio, will stay in his character, cast as a reporter, and Ontario Superior Court Judge Robert Beaudoin will take on the role of court clerk.

The audience will get a chance to get involved during the second half of the play, Langston said.

OYP is working to prepare the actors in an on-stage setting, because they’ll only get two rehearsals at the Ottawa Little Theatre before opening night. OYP is also working on costumes for the production.

“Producing this sort of thing is huge,” Langston said.

Opening night tickets are available for $25, and tickets for Nov. 7 to 9 are $50, a portion of which is tax deductible.

Bag full of surprises at upcoming dance performance brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - Dancers didn’t show up at the first rehearsal for Les Souliers d’Amélie prepared for the theme.

There wasn’t one yet.

Instead, they each showed up with a bag filled with objects starting with the same letter. For one dancer, it was “S”: socks, soap, sugar, anything that started with “s” from around her house. And shoes.

They went with the flow, and that’s how Anik Bouvrette managed to choreograph Les Souliers d’Amélie (Amélie’s shoes), the upcoming Tara Luz Danse performance that takes to the Shenkman stage on Nov. 16.

“It’s trusting the creative process and letting the work emerge,” Bouvrette said.

The performance is playful and slightly absurd, she said, and uses all props that the four dancers that form the company brought in their bags on that first day of rehearsal.

“Amélie is a very colourful charac-

ter - and she loves shoes,” she said.

The contemporary dancers, Amanda Bon, Amelia Griffin, Marine Larochelle and Mélissa Roy, will perform to music composed for the show. Together, they’ve been rehearsing with Bouvrette for over a year, helping to shape the dance production.

And of course, providing the props and shoes that inspire the show.

“With the introduction of every new pair of shoes, the shoes lead (the audience) into a different journey of movement,” said Bouvrette.

There will be two shows on Nov. 16, one at 2 p.m. and one at 7 p.m. on Nov. 16.

MAKING A HOME

Bouvrette’s company, Tara Luz Danse, has a clear identity.

There is no actual Tara that is a part of the company the name is a nod to the latin word for Earth, Portuguese word for light and femininity of the company.

All of the dancers have trained pro-

fessionally in Ottawa, and are from Ottawa or Gatineau. While performances are bilingual, it’s a francophone dance company.

“It’s important for me to try and encourage dancers who have trained here locally,” Bouvrette said. “The message I’m trying to send is you can continue your dance career here.”

The dancers are employed parttime with Tara Luz Danse; most work with two or three companies and teach dance or yoga on the side.

They also travel to local French schools, mostly in Orléans, where Bouvrette has lived for over 30 years.

She lived in British Columbia while she earned her degree in dance.

As well, they use their home at Shenkman Arts Centre to host community events and open dance workshops.

The last show was 18 months ago, but Bouvrette hopes to grow to the point where the company could run an annual performance instead of every 18 months to two years.

When Shenkman first opened,

Tickets are on sale for the Nov. 16 performance at the Shenkman Arts Centre, over the phone at 613-5802700 or by visiting artshenkman.ca.

the children into school and the adults into an English language course. The goal is for at least one member of the family to have a job at the end of the year, so the family can become self-sufficient. The group currently has about $18,000 collected.

“That’s more than halfway in six months,” Bowler said, noting she doesn’t have a specific fundraising goal for the concert. “Every little bit counts.”

It will likely be late 2014 before the sponsored family arrives, Bowler said.

The Karen people have been fighting for independence from Myanmar since the 1940s, and as a result the country is embroiled in the world’s longest-running civil war. Today, thousands of Karen people have been forced to flee to refugee camps along the Thai-Myanmar border, where they’ve lived for decades. Some children were born in the camp and have lived there their entire lives. Those who still live inside the Myanmar border live in constant fear that their village or camp will be attacked, Bowler said. There is little access to proper education, healthcare or nutrition.

The Manotick committee will host another concert on Dec. 7 featuring the Christ Church Cathedral Ottawa Choir of Men and Boys. For concert tickets or more information call Bowler at 613-692-2900, Joy Clarke at 613-692-6486 or the church office at 613-692-2082. Tickets can also be purchased online at valdy.eventbrite.ca.

News – He may not play you a rock and roll song, but Valdy is sure to bring Canada’s finest folk era to life when he performs at St. James Anglican Church in Manotick Nov. 18.

The Ottawa-born folk singer will offer a solo show to as many as 300 people as part of an ongoing fundraiser to sponsor a Karen refugee family from Myanmar (formerly Burma).

Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show begins at 7:30 p.m. The $25 tickets include a reception with cash bar, where fans can get a chance to chat with the Canadian legend himself. Joan Bowler, leader of the Manotick Karen Refugee Sponsorship Program working to bring a needy family to Canada, said it was surprisingly easy to get Valdy to come to play – and it’s going to be a real treat for the village.

“What’s special about Valdy is his concerts are so personable,” Bowler said. “He really relates to the audience.”

So far, Manotick residents seem to agree.

“We haven’t really advertised and we’re already getting lots of calls,” Bowler said.

“He was one of the most popular folk singers in Canada in the early 1970s.”

Bowler saw the Glebe High School alumnus perform two years ago in Merrickville,

and at that time approached him about doing a concert at her mother’s retirement home in Vancouver, near where he lives with his wife. He was open to the idea then, she said, so she figured it was worth a try to see if he would come here to support their cause during an Eastern Canada tour.

“It’s going to be good,” she said.

The Manotick Karen Refugee Sponsorship Program is led by St. James volunteers with help from several other churches and community groups in the village. For the better part of a year the committee has been working to raise enough money to bring a needy family to Canada from where they live in refugee camps along the Thai-Burma border. In order to sponsor a refugee family, the committee needs to raise about $35,000 to cover the family’s financial needs for an entire year. This includes housing, food, clothing, and transportation costs. The group must also commit to helping the family get settled in their new surroundings.

Having lived for years in the camps, many Karen refugees have never had access to electricity or running water, and have never taken a bus. The group will meet them at the airport and take them to their new apartment, likely in the Chinatown area where there is easy access to resources like Ottawa Community Immigrant Services Organization, the adult high school and other Karen families.

The sponsorship group will help settle

erase pain and tension in your hands, feet, neck, and low back brought on by everyday stress, overuse, and age. This simple self-treatment can make your whole body feel better and provide relief from neck and low back pain, arthritis, bunions, plantar fasciitis, and carpal tunnel syndrome.

Public Open House (POH#1) was held in February 2013 to present the problem definition. Public Open House # 2 was held August 6th 2013 to present the results of the various site investigations undertaken during 2012/2013 to characterize the site and the environment; identify the alternative designs and mitigative measures being evaluated; and describe the recommended preferred design/solution. Both POHs were held at the Goulbourn Municipal Building Council Chambers at 2135 Huntley Road, Ottawa ON. Information presented at the POHs is available on the City of Ottawa website (see below for link).

The recommended solution involves the development of a snow disposal facility (SDF) on a 23.4ha property located at civic address 2125 Carp Road that can accommodate approximately 350,000 m3 of snow collected from Kanata and nearby areas. The SDF development will include a 1-2ha meltwater pond to treat the runoff from the snow melt and a 4-5ha stormwater pond to treat storm water from on-site and off-site sources. Several mitigative measures have been proposed to minimize impacts from the SDF development and include a right-turn deceleration lane along Westbrook road, improving drainage beneath Westbrook Road, construction of a berm along the east property limit to mitigate noise, landscaping along the east and north limits for visual screening, and a liner beneath the meltwater pond and its outlet to protect groundwater quality.

Comments received from the POHs and from the agency circulation, the public and other participants have been incorporated into the final report. All comments received were collected in accordance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act and the Environmental Assessment Act, and have become part of the public record.

News – Five years after the onset of the economic downturn, Ontario’s economy is struggling to retain the status – and job numbers - it once boasted as Canada’s economic powerhouse.

Since 2008, Ontario’s economy has been battered, with an unemployment rate of 7.5 per cent in the third quarter of 2013 and annual gross domestic product increases of 1.8 and 1.4 per cent in 2011 and 2012 respectively, according to Statistics Canada.

By comparison, Alberta’s GDP rose 5.4 per cent in 2011 and 3.9 per cent in 2012, while Saskatchewan’as rose 5.5 and 2.2 per cent in the corresponding two years.

With an economic growth rate lower than the national average and an unemployment rate higher than the national average – coupled with a stillincreasing debt of $260 billion – Ontario’s economic situation is far from rosy. Turning this situation around will require a combination of increased investment and maintenance of existing employment levels.

One factor that can have a

The Port Alma Wind Farm in Chathan-Kent, Ont., contains 44 wind turbines, capable of producing an output of 101 megawatts. The site went online in 2008. High rates paid to wind producers is one of the reasons behind the skyrocketing electricity rates in Ontario. sizeable effect on a company’s financial viability or decision to set up shop in Ontario is energy rates. With another rate hike planned for Nov. 1, Ontario’s electricity rates have risen dramatically over the last five years. Renewal of grid components, the addition of heavily subsidized renewable energy such as wind and solar power, backed up by new gas generators to provide grid stability have all played a role in driving hydro rates up for not just consumers, but businesses as well.

Ontario Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli has stated the province made some strategic

alterations on the energy file and related contracts to mitigate those increases, adding the province was “starting to turn the corner” on rising rates.

Chiarelli would not, however, discuss when rates might stop their upward climb, preferring to wait until the province’s long-term energy plan is released later this year.

Keeping existing jobs, especially the manufacturing jobs that long served as the backbone of Ontario’s economy, has been a challenge, with companies drawn to lower labour costs in the United States.

the other big considerations for industry.

In Canada, Quebec and Manitoba boast significantly lower energy rates than Ontario, with rate decreases actually reported in Quebec in 2011 and 2012 due to surplus power. Ontario also has periodic power surpluses, which the Independent Electrical System Operator - the crown corporation that runs Ontario’s power grid - sometimes sells to neighbouring jurisdictions below cost, a situation that has a negative impact on ratepayers.

‘Ultimately, the customer pays in the end’ Like the manufacturing industry, the northern Ontario mining industry has traditionally played a large role in the province’s economic fortunes, putting places like Sudbury and its iconic big nickel on the map.

Earlier in October, a North Bay newspaper published an article on the increase of heavy truck traffic on Highway 11 north of the city. The trucks are carrying mine concentrates from the Sudbury area to Noranda, Que., for refining.

Mining is an industry prone to boom and bust cycles that create uncertainty for individuals and whole regions. But, it can be very profitable over a sustained period, and the province – tasked with wrestling down a deficit first and a debt later - would like to see mining thrive.

The much-talked about Ring of Fire deposit in the James Bay Lowlands of northern Ontario has the potential for mass extraction of a number of valuable metals, the most lucrative being chromite -- a key ingredient in stainless steel. Currently the project is still in its infancy, with a lack of either rail or road access to the remote area and two key land holders locked in a legal battle over the one access route.

If extracted, the chromite contained within the Ring of Fire would be transported to a smelter in Sudbury for processing under a plan mapped out by the Liberal government.

The largest land-holder in the Ring of Fire – U.S.-based Cliffs Natural Resources – is now threatening to pull the plug on the project if it can’t get the all-weather road it wants, which would threaten the Sudbury smelter and the economic benefit such an operation would bring.

Energy comes into the equation when one factors in the huge amount of electricity needed to run a smelter. With Ontario’s rates already higher than Quebec’s and rising, the worry is that some of the economic benefit from the Ring of Fire could bypass Ontario for

refining in another jurisdiction, such as the province next door.

One bill-reducing energy incentive listed by Chiarelli is the Northern Industrial Rate Program, which provides a rebate approximately equal to a 25 per cent reduction in bills for the largest consumers, such as smelters. Depending on how much Ontario’s hydro rates rise, that could soon be not enough

ploy many. Businesses that use less than 250,000 kilowatt hours of power a year are billed for their energy consumption no different than residents.

Ottawa businessman Jim Sourges finds himself in a difficult situation, as his stockand-trade is the very appliances and fixtures that consume that pricey electricity.

As owner of The Electrical

to entice business of that size to set up shop in Ontario.

Questions also remain in the northern business community about the power needed to serve the Ring of Fire area, and whether there will be enough when and if the area comes alive. The Thunder Bay Generating Station, which traditionally provided excess power to the region, is currently idled after its conversion from coal to natural gas was stopped, with no official word yet on its eventual fate.

Chiarelli stated that despite the status of the Thunder Bay plant, “we’ve given (the region) complete assurance in principle that they will have power when they need it.”

A number of solutions being worked on in northwestern Ontario, said Chiarelli, including new transmission lines from Wawa, new generation planned for the Dryden area, and the restarting of the converted Atikokan Generating Station, located about 200 kilometres west of Thunder Bay. Mining and manufacturing are but one part of the economic story in Ontario. Serving smaller areas and moving smaller amounts of product, small and medium-sized businesses are numerous and em-

& Plumbing Store’s two Ottawa locations, Sourges knows all too well the impact of rising hydro rates and has little recourse in stemming the rising tide of energy bills. He’s replaced all of the bulbs in his showrooms with compact fluorescent lightbulbs and has darkened the chandelier showcase as much as possible, but a storefront business that has to be open during peak hours can’t do much to mitigate costs before staff or the customers become affected.

“Hydro rates have continued to climb over time, especially with time-of-use billing,” said Sourges, whose father found-

ed the store’s original Ogilvie Road location 32 years ago.

“With us, given that we can’t control time-of-use or our hours of operation we can’t do all of the (conservation tips) the government proposes. We signed a fixed-rate contract, but we’re probably paying the same as if it were time-of-use.”

Signing a contract with a third-party energy retailer is the single, only option for small business owners in areas where time-of-use rates are in effect, and the savings are minimal.

Being in the business for so long, Sourges knows that eventually his business and others like it will be forced to pass the cost of the power bill on to customers. Some current business owners in his line of work could easily be swayed into storing merchandise in a darkened warehouse and handling sales through a website, thus eliminating staff members.

“There are ramifications to rising hydro rates that aren’t as obvious as saying ‘I’m going to have to pay a few hundred a month more,’” said Sourges.

“If you’re a manufacturer and your location isn’t important, if you find a place that costs 20 per cent less, you go there. If you’re serving a local market you might have to change your type of operation, fire a few staff or increase the cost to the buyer. Ultimately the customer pays in the end it doesn’t matter what type of business. No one likes to hear that, but that’s the reality.”

GREAT NEWS FOR KANATA TRANSIT COMMUTERS Some residents are concerned about the future light rail transit, which won’t be built for more than 10 years and could change with the next Transportation Plan (which must be reviewed every 5 years). Much more important are items in the 2014 budget that will improve commuter transit service starting next year through four funded items.

First, in 2014 a new Park and Ride will be constructed on Innovation at Terry Fox. Second, preliminary plans call for the 60 express routes to be divided into two routes, reducing the travel time going through the community. One of these routes will use Terry Fox to Huntsville and then onto the Terry Fox Station and into Ottawa.

This will provide service that is faster, brings express service to new areas and provides additional routes to serve the Terry Fox Park and Ride.

Third, the City has finally received agreement from the Provincial Ministry of Transportation to create a bus lane for buses going onto the 417 eastward from the Pinecrest interchange. This will be built in 2014 and reduce delays due to congestion.

Projected power needs for province were overestimated Continued from page 23

For his Northside Road location in Bells Corners, Sourges estimates his electricity costs have risen by $1,500 a month in the past five years.

Sourges, who serves as chair of the board of the Bells Corners Business Improvement Area, said the small- and medium-sized business that make up a community could use some form of relief. He stressed that he understood the need for regular grid improvements and maintenance, and knows such work isn’t cost neutral, but did say that businesses need to be able to stay competitive in the marketplace.

Without this, businesses both large and small will suffer, harming both the economy and the province’s future.

“In most business, when you buy in bulk, you get a deal. With a regulated monopoly like hydro, it doesn’t work that way. At a minimum, larger power users should be able to deal with lower than existing kilowatt hour rates.”

Despite continued sluggish, marginal growth in the province’s economy, there has been little word from Premier Kathleen Wynne on how the provincial government plans to turn the situation around.

That could change after Finance Minister Charles Sousa delivers his

fall economic statement, scheduled for Nov. 7.

In his previous statement from May of this year, Sousa said the province is on track to eliminate the budget deficit -- pegged at $11.7 billion for 2013-14 -- by the 2017-18 fiscal year. During that time, however, the province’s debt is expected to rise, hitting $303.9 billion in 2015-16, according to the 2013 Ontario budget. These forecasts could change, especially if economic growth projections aren’t realized.

It remains to be seen what changes will be found in the province’s long-term energy plan, the contents of which also have a bearing on the economic future of the province.

The recent announcement that Ontario would not be moving forward with a planned build of new nuclear generators -- instead relying on a refurbishment of existing reactors -- is an indication the Liberal government might be recognizing the potential economic impact of rising rates. Changes made earlier this year to the FIT program (under which wind and solar generation are managed and paid for) and the contract with Green Energy Act partner Samsung reinforce this notion.

The early estimates of long-term rate increases needed to accommodate grid improvements and the rollout of the act were seriously un-

derestimated. As well, the projected power needs for the province in the near future were overestimated.

The Independent Electrical System Operator projects a 0.5 per cent decline in energy demand in 2013, and a 0.1 per cent decline in 2014, a situation that was not envisioned at the end of the last decade.

The opposition Progressive Conservatives and New Democratic Party, as well as the Green party of Ontario, have all criticized elements of the Green Energy Act, while the province’s auditor general slammed the Liberals in the wake of the 2011 election for not performing a cost analysis of the act before moving forward with it.

A report published in June of this year, however, sheds some light on where rates could go in the near future.

“Ontario Electricity Options Comparison: Illustrating the Economics of Ontario Energy Supply Options” is a report by Strategic Policy Economics that was commissioned by the Power Worker’s Union, which representing Ontario Hydro workers.

The paper sought to explore the electricity rate impact and overall economic impact of policies stemming from the previous long term energy plan, giving two projections going forward – one where investments in nuclear generation are continued while investments in wind energy are curtailed and the other where nuclear investments curtailed and wind energy targets laid out in the Green Energy Act are continued.

“Many arguments support that high costs will arise and other arguments suggest that cost growth will be moderate,” the report states, referring to assumptions based on the 2010 long term energy plan. “As such, the costs portrayed have varied significantly and no discovered publicly available source appears to be definitive on the topic of total systems cost.”

Stating that its estimates are accurate to between two and three per cent, the report determined that under the 2010 plan, the average resi-

Between 2011 and 2024, residential rates would rise by 75 per cent.

Under the same plan, industrial rate impacts would increase 34 per cent between 2012 and 2017, tripling the gap that already exists between Ontario rates and the U.S. average. This figure would rise by 87 per cent between 2012 and 2024.

The report found that the bulk of the increases between now and 2017 stemmed from investments 1031.R0012386541

in renewable energy generation. To what degree recent changes made to the energy file have changed these projections is unknown, but the study’s findings casts some doubt on Chiarelli’s assertion that the province is starting to “turn the corner” on rate increases.

As for the economic projections based on wind and/or nuclear investments, the report takes a longer view, looking ahead to 2035 when wind installations procured under the Green Energy Act will have reached the end of their lives.

The study found that by retaining investments in nuclear while reducing investments in wind generation, Ontario stood to receive $56 billion in direct benefits to its economy - $27 billion in savings to ratepayers and $29 billion in direct investment.

“By contrast, reducing the nuclear footprint in favour of the retained wind scenario would result in increased costs for electricity ratepayers, lower investment in Ontario’s economy and would increase GHG emissions,” the report states.

A retained wind scenario would also see 313 million tonnes of GHG emissions between 2014 and 2035, instead of the 206 million tonnes under a reduced wind, heightened nuclear scenario.

For a plan that was introduced as being the saviour of the environment while being easy on wallets, the Green Energy Act has proven to be something far different. And, while the economy struggles for momentum, it is clear the province’s focus needs to recognize all factors that can impact the economy, including energy.

Connect through food at Kanata Chinese Seniors Support Centre resource centre.

Volunteers from the Chinese seniors group brought their electrical rice cookers and kitchen utensils to make delicious Chinese dumplings.

The menu included vegetarian spring rolls with sweet and sour sauce, pork and beef dumplings, yangzhuo fried rice with colourful vegetables, followed by a dessert of sweet lotus seed and yin-er mushroom soup.

Volunteers of the seniors centre also offered entertain-

ment for the guests, performing two dances, including one that invited everyone to dance along.

The cooks also demonstrated how to make dumplings and welcomed all guests to try it themselves. During the activities, we saw people from different communities be connected through music, dance, and food. The volunteers from the Kanata Chinese Seniors Support Centre believe that through food, people will not feel alone in this community.

Dust is kicked up from a field tilled in Dunrobin. Grain farmers and beekeepers agree neonicotinoids are killing insects in mass numbers.

Many large-scale farm operations are highly efficient but deeply susceptible to unravelling at the slightest change. Expensive equipment needs to be paid for through expected high yields. The slow eating away at profit that nature caused in the past is, today, replaced by a solid defence against losses – thanks in large part to insecticides.

Beekeeper Arnold Polk lives in West Carleton between Pakenham and Arnprior. He has been an apiculturist since the mid 1970s when he took over his father-in-law’s farm. It supplements his income, along with driving a bus and one-time

pursuits such as lambing. But beekeeping didn’t supplement his income last winter.

“It was a wake up call,” said Polk, who is happy to produce 30,000 pounds of honey a year.

He managed just 2,000 this year. “I’ve never experienced anything like this before.”

Polk is aware of the neonicotinoids debate. He has mixed feelings over farming practices.

On the one hand, he knows they must grow more and more efficient to keep up with the competition, including the use of pesticides. On the other hand, he says the relentless pursuit of profit at all costs is having a devastating affect on the natural

ingest the neonicotinoids and die. Anecdotal claims from southern Ontario on this theory reached Polk.

Health Canada regulators have proposed better labelling on insecticides and require farmers to implement safer seed planting practices.

Those moves aren’t enough for beekeepers, who are fewer in number and therefore hold less clout over lawmakers. Another year of mass die-offs could harbour untold calamity for many common foods such as: apples, onions, pears, beans, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, common peppers, eggplant, tomatoes and much more.

However, at this stage it doesn’t seem those welding power are willing to move any time soon. Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren is a farmer, and sold seed to farmers throughout the region.

He lauds the effectiveness of neonicotinoids while reserving judgement until further study is done.

“It is commonly used on corn seed to protect against insects and disease. It does work.

It helps farmers,” MacLaren said. “Canada has very stringent rules about pesticides.”

Still, if further studies show them to be harmful to bees or other animals, MacLaren said he has no problem with an outright ban.

News – About 30 per cent of bee colonies were lost last spring; the second year in a row for mass die-offs. The federal government has linked largescale farming practices to the decline of insects that pollinate $2 billion worth of fruit and vegetables every year.

In September Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) issued to farmers a series of recommendations against certain insecticides known as neonicotinoids.

Dwight Foster is a farmer in North Gower. He’s been scratching a living off the land for many years. A grain farmer with 4,000 acres – and a feed lot with 1,500 head of cattle – Foster can’t underestimate how crucial insecticides are to his operation.

“The seed treatment is very important for the development of the crops,” said Foster, a man of few words.

He said there is no reason

to rush to judgment on neonicotinoids; that very little science has been done on the issue in Canada.

He wonders if insecticides are killing the bees or something else or a combination of multiple factors. Health Canada blamed last year’s die-off to weather: one cold snap at the wrong time could devastate colonies. Then there’s exotic mites and fungi shipped in unwittingly or otherwise from far flung parts of the world that attack native bees.

Or even if it is insecticiderelated, at which point in the farming process do neonicotinoids attack them?

Foster’s point is that no one at this stage can say for sure.

And for him, the stakes are too high to act without certainty: a neonicotinoid ban would be a deal-breaker.

“There’s no reason to throw the baby out with the bath water,” he said. “Without another product in place that does what it does, it would be huge disaster.”

world.

Beekeepers are anxious for a solution to stave of future losses. Farmers are unwilling to change the status quo for fear of losing profit. That may seem like a strict dichotomy. But according to the Arnprior area’s vice president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, Debra Pretty-Straathof, it is more complex.

Those who farm corn and soya use neonicotinoids. They are predominately in south western Ontario. Farmers in the Ottawa Valley area include those who require pollination, either because they are growing vegetables or feeding animals on food that flowered.

“You will have polar opposites in any group, but we are trying to work together,” PrettyStraathof said. “Neither side wants to wipe out the other.

Everybody wants to help (bees) but nobody wants to have a knee-jerk solution.”

She said it is widely accepted among farmers that neonicotinoids are a cause. What is less certain, at least from the beekeepers side, is at what point the insecticides affect pollinators.

PMRA is studying contaminated “planter dust.” The hypothesis states that a coating of insecticide on each seed comes off during the farming process.

It creates a dust cloud that bees fly though, causing them to

Planning holiday decor from natural materials Kanata-March Horticultural Society

Community - Since the start of September, Ottawa has enjoyed a remarkably long period of warm weather. With many summer flowers still blooming into late October, it’s hard to believe that soon enough the blooms will be gone and gardens will go dormant for another winter.

In the transition from fall to winter, November is an ideal time to start preparing for the festive season. Soon enough, there will be coloured lights adorning homes and gardens, and festive greenery arrangements on display both indoors and outside.On Nov. 5, the Kanata-March Horticultural Society welcomes Master Gardener Catherine Disley,

who will speak on Christmas Decor and Holiday Flowers.

Disley will discuss and demonstrate tips and techniques to create beautiful, one-of-akind winter decorations for the interior and exterior of a home.

An emphasis will be placed on fresh materials easily obtained from gardens or a walk in the woods.

The beginning of the meeting will feature the society’s annual general meeting to elect the 2014 executive. The meeting runs from 7:30 to 9 p.m. at the Old Town Hall, 821 March Rd. (entrance to the Old Town Hall is on Klondike Road across from Shopper’s Drug Mart).

There is a $5 fee for guests.

Visitors interested in joining the Kanata-March Horticultural Society in November will

be provided with a 2014 membership.

The memberships follow the calendar year from January to December, and the cost per year is $15 per person or $25 per couple. These memberships must be renewed annually.

Society members are gardeners from novice to expert in experience, who share a common love of plants, gardening and take pride in their home’s landscaping.

Meetings feature guest speakers each month on a variety of topics, and help beautify the local community through the maintenance of the Molly Wilson garden at the Old Town Hall.

New members are always welcome. For details, visit kanata-horticultural.com.

The grind between the Games brier.dodge@metroland.com

Sports - While his surprise 2012 Olympic berth gets him a few perks, kayaker Michael Tayler’s Games appearance hasn’t changed much about his day-to-day life.

Tayler clinched Canada’s lone whitewater kayak spot for the London Games, although he went into Olympic trials an underdog.

So now, a year after the Olympic hoopla has wrapped up, he’s in the same spot he was before London – focusing and aiming for the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

“London was really a bonus Olympics for me because I’ve always been aiming for Rio,” said the Westboro-raised athlete.

He’s into a regular schedule of training, travelling, and competing, preparing for international competitions that can help Canada secure spots on the 2016 Olympic team.

Only a certain number of Olympic spots are allocated for white water kayakers, and performances in the years leading up to Games can affect how many athletes

Canada is able to send.

Currently in his fourth year of studying at Carleton University and living in Old Ottawa South, he’ll be taking the winter semester off to train in warmer climates.

February is the United Arab Emirates to train, then North Carolina in March. In April, the world championships for 23-and-under will be held in Australia. After a 13th placefinish this year in Slovakia, it’s the next big goal for Tayler, who said it’s his best chance of earning a medal on the world stage.

“Everyone’s like, ‘When are the next Olympics?’” he said. “But we don’t just start training six months before.”

pic Committee for each test drive.

Tayler’s done other promotional appearances, allowing him to make some money on the side to help pay for all his travel and expenses.

He’s also done volunteer events, like helping at the food bank, speaking to students at local schools and CHEO visits.

London was really a bonus Olympics for me because I’ve always been aiming for Rio.

OLYMPIC PERKS

While training and travel are constants for any elite athlete, his Olympian status has a few perks. It was easier to attract sponsors in the months leading up to the Games, but there are opportunities through the Canadian Olympic Committee that he didn’t have before.

He was at Elite BMW on Oct. 25 for a sponsor fundraiser where money was donated to the Canadian Olym-

“I say yes to everything,” he said. “I enjoy it, there are a lot of events with the Canadian Olympic team.”

Besides the appearances – and the photo on his uncle’s commercial van – it’s back to a normal athlete life for Tayler as he continues towards the same goal he’s had for years: the 2016 Rio Games.

As he said, “right back where I started.”

It was the Knights’ final home game of the season and they gave the crowd many reasons to cheer by beating the Mustangs in a nail-biter with a final score of 27-26.

The team showed great determination and earned their spot in the championship finals on Oct. 29 in Nepean.

Kanata’s offensive line was too strong for the Mustangs. The Knights scored two touchdowns in the first half, but the Mustangs fought back to take the lead in the third quarter.

Fortunately, the Knights managed to shut down the opposition’s sec-

ond-half blitz by scoring two touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Players Tyler Rehman, Stewart Melville, Patrick Massia, Eric Liu and Connor Ogilvie were key to securing the win for Kanata.

From the beginning and right through to the thrilling end, defence was solid and fearless. Defensive players Spencer Tanti, Sebastian Chavez, Charles Huynh, Greg Harris, Marco Becerril, Jarod Wakeman, Justin Malloy, Liam Quinton and Gavin Goyette provided plenty of tackles to keep the Mustangs from taking the final spot in the championship game.

The Knights played their final game of the season in the C Cup Championship finals at the Nepean Sportsplex on Tuesday, Oct. 29.

City celebrates 50 years of ringette with free skate, skills class Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Sports – Metcalfe’s ringette community helped its favourite sport a mark half century of success on Oct. 22.

Ringette Canada brought its 30day, 15-city road show to the village as part of its ongoing celebration of ringette’s 50th anniversary. The evening was a partnership with the Metcalfe and District Ringette Association, and included a free skate with two Ringette Canada mascots, a skill-building session with National

Ringette League players and a game between the Ottawa Ice and Gloucester Devils NRL teams.

Ringette Canada’s sport development manager Frances Losier said the road show is a way to promote awareness of the sport while giving strong ringette communities across Canada a chance to celebrate.

“We were looking for places where this would be a big deal,” she said, noting that players in smaller associations may not otherwise get a chance to meet Canada’s top players.

Losier said Metcalfe’s ringette

association is smaller than other associations in the Ottawa region because of its rural location, but it has an enthusiastic volunteer and participant base. “Once you’re in ringette, you’re in it for life,” she said.

Ringette was invented in 1963 by Sam Jacks, then the director of parks and recreation for North Bay, Ont., and the first game was put into action

by Red McCarthy, recreation director for the town of Espanola, Ont. in 1963.

Since then, ringette associations have popped up across the country and the sport has become a popular

activity for young girls.

On Oct. 22, young ringette players got a chance to see just how far ringette can take you, as several members of the Gloucester Devils and Ottawa Ice led skill-building drills and games on the ice. The national-level players had the girls sprinting up and down the ice, stopping at the blue line and taking shots on net.

Later, the two teams faced off in an elite-level game in the arena.

Metcalfe association president Paul Charbonneau said the celebrations coincide with his association’s 40th anniversary, which just added

an extra level of excitement to the festivities.

He said having Ringette Canada come to Metcalfe was a great way to raise the profile of the sport in the community.

“Hopefully it will help promote ringette in the district,” he said.

Public health budget pushes food safety, active kids Safe routes to schools may encourage walking: councillor Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - More restaurant inspections and getting kids to walk or bike to school are priorities in the city’s 2014 public health budget.

Ottawa Public Health is proposing to spend $12.4 million in city dollars in addition to $42.6 million in funding from the province next year.

The health department says it will need about $1 million more than it did last year to continue offering the same services. That’s within the two per cent increase cap that city council set for each department at the beginning of its term.

In the budget tabled on Oct. 21, public health manager Esther Moghadam said the agency wants to reinvent some of the money it’s saving, including $600,000 in efficiencies from having nurses work remotely with laptops.

Public health is also reducing its base budget by eliminating three positions from the books that have

been vacant for several years.

The health authority wants to put $391,000 of those savings back into expanded programming, including more food-safety inspections of high-risk restaurants, outdoor food vendors and special events and programs aimed at increasing physical activity levels for schoolchildren, including promoting walking and biking to school.

That would include eventually developing active-transportation plans for all 230 public elementary schools in Ottawa. The city is already working on demonstration plans with 12 schools, said Ottawa Public Health manager Sherry Nigro.

Health board chairwoman Coun.

Diane Holmes said the city has “gotten away with murder” by not providing infrastructure that lets kids safely get to school by walking or biking.

Holmes said she thinks school boards bus students from door to door because the city doesn’t provide safe infrastructure for them to walk or bike.

Wallace Beaton of Green Communities Canada conducts similar active transportation audits. He told the committee his group has faced a slow and frustrating process to get the city to agree to infrastructure improvements.

“You run the risk of creating expectations that you are not able to meet,” he said.

Trevor Haché of Ecology Ottawa said the board’s support of a “complete street” policy in the proposed transportation master plan is a step in the right direction in that regard, but it doesn’t go far enough.

It surprises me that in the city of Ottawa you need a licence to be an auctioneer, but you don’t need a license to be a body piercer DR. ATUL KAPUR

“It won’t achieve results unless it’s comprehensive,” he said, suggesting the board tell the city to adopt the 10 key elements developed by the National Complete Streets Coalition in the United States, which include specific implementation steps, performance measures and design criteria, among other factors.

Transportation committee chairman and health board member Coun.

Keith Egli said he and city transportation staff have agreed to meet with

Ecology Ottawa on that topic.

Health board member Marguarite Keeley said staff should pay special attention to how to increase physical activity for children who live and go to school in rural areas, since they have fewer safe ways to get to school on foot or by bike.

Public health is also proposing a one-time investment of $200,000 to continue a program to improve infection control standards in personal service businesses such as tattoo and body-piercing parlours and full-service salons that offer things like acupuncture.

Public health is working on a training program for operators of those types of business, as well as a public education campaign. But a couple members of the board of health, including Dr. Atul Kapur, said the city should look at requiring those businesses to be licensed.

“It surprises me that in the city of Ottawa you need a licence to be an auctioneer, but you don’t need a license to be a body piercer,” he said.

City council will also be asked to pre-approve $200,000 for costshared programs for which provincial funding is expected to be made available next spring. That money could go towards programs such as: • Increasing immunization coverage for schoolchildren; • Expanding awareness of low-

risk alcohol use guidelines; • Outreach to parents for youth mental health supports; • Aboriginal infant health services; • Promoting active transportation; • Promoting “healthy food environments” by encouraging menu labeling, improved signs and customer surveys.

There is one remaining public consultation at which residents can ask questions and share thoughts on the drafts budgets: Thursday, Nov.7 at council chambers in city hall, 110 Laurier Ave. W. from 7 to 9 p.m.

Public delegates can present to the health board on the draft budget on Nov. 18. City council is set to approve the budgets on Nov. 27.

Transit, cycling key to Ottawa’s economic future: Watson Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Mayor Jim Watson called for co-operation from the federal and provincial levels of government to build the extended light-rail system he envisions.

In an address on Ottawa’s economic outlook delivered to local business leaders on Oct. 24, Watson said the proposed Stage 2 plan to bring light rail east to Place d’Orléans, west to Bayshore and Baseline stations and to bring the O-Train south to Bowesville can only happen if the upper levels of government are on board.

“The federal and provincial governments were excellent team players with the first phase of light rail,” Watson said. “We are counting on them to continue to be our partners.”

The mayor called out Orléans MP Royal Galipeau for suggesting the city write to Santa Claus for funding for the project shortly after it was announced.

“Well, you know, Santa made a pre-Christmas visit to Toronto and gave them $660 million for a three-stop subway extension,” the mayor said during his speech.

Ottawa only wants its fair share of the federal government’s infrastructure funding program, which will dole out $53.5 billion for infrastructure projects across Canada over the next decade.

Ottawa’s $975-million ask of the federal government represents two per cent of the federal infrastructure fund – less than Otta-

Mayor Jim Watson says federal and provincial support will be needed to build the newly expanded vision of light-rail in Ottawa. wa’s proportion of the country’s population, which is three per cent, Watson said.

“I expect our local MPs will work with us to ensure our city gets its fair share as well,” Watson said.

He urged politicians in other levels of government to look beyond the next election to the future generations that could benefit from the transit system.

“Projects like this one are bigger than any one mayor, premier or prime minister,” Watson said.

The mayor also had a message for people who don’t see the value of a $3 billion investment in the next phase of light rail.

Pitting drivers against transit users and cyclists is a debate of the past, Watson said.

“Our economic future is too important to resort to such old-school arguments,” he said.

Even those who could never see themselves hopping on a train, bus or bike can see the benefit of one less car in front of them on the highway, Watson said.

Promoting other forms of transportation helps prevent gridlock and keep goods and services moving, he said.

“It is in our economic interest to get more people on the bus, and more people walking and cycling,” Watson said.

City wants names for LRT diggers City of Ottawa

News - The city is joining with local school boards to launch a competition to name the three “roadheader” excavation machines that will dig the Confederation Line LRT project’s downtown tunnel.

The city officially launched con-

struction on the tunnel on Oct. 11.

“Students in Grade 4 today will be entering high school by the time the Confederation Line opens, and will be among the first new wave of riders that will use the system,” said Mayor Jim Watson.

“I think this is a wonderful opportunity to engage our young

people in this city-transforming project.”

Grade 4 classes from the Ottawa public and Catholic school boards and the city’s two French-language boards are invited to suggest names for the three roadheaders to their teachers.

The city is requesting two Eng-

nounced later in November at an event that will feature students from the winning classes as well as representatives from the city’s federal and provincial funding partners.

The Confederation Line transit project is a $2.13 billion project that is jointly funded by the federal and provincial governments and the city. The route includes 13 stations and a 2.5 kilometre tunnel.

School boards must submit their proposed names by noon on Nov. 7, including the name of the school and class that submitted them.

The submissions will be reviewed by the mayor, transit commission chairperson Coun. Diane Deans and transportation committee chairman Coun. Keith Egli.

CHEO takes the ouch out of flu immunizations Sabine Gibbins

sabine.gibbins@metroland.com

News - Babies can say goodbye to the “ouch” when it comes to getting their flu vaccine.

CHEO recently launched a new program called Be Sweet to Babies, aimed at helping parents find way to reduce the pain when it comes to immunizations.

The research team behind the project is lead by Dr. Denise Harrison, chair in nursing care of children, youth and families at CHEO and University of Ottawa.

The group put together a YouTube video which demonstrates ways for parents to help alleviate the immunization pain.

As many moms and dads can tell, said Harrison, immunizations can be painful for infants and distressing for parents, but it doesn’t have to be.

Through breastfeeding or offering their infant sugar-water, the pinch of the needle is not even felt.

“This is something we all need to consider doing from a parent’s perspective,” she said.

But, she added, the majority of parents or doctors are not made aware of these simple and effective ways to reduce the pain.

Research shows that breastfeeding babies or giving them sugar water (also known as sucrose), as well as holding them upright in a secure front to front position, effectively reduces pain during immunizations.

“Sugar water is also given to young mammals,” said Harrison. “It increases their endorphins.

Sugar water works well for babies up to one year of age, she said. While breastfeeding and sugar water work best for babies, upright front-front holding and distraction work for young children as well while they’re given immunizations, she added.

However, these strate-

gies are rarely used by health care providers and parents. There are hundreds of videos currently on YouTube of babies being injected; however, proven pain reduction techniques are rarely used.

“Some nurses and doctors don’t even know about this, which is why we are trying to show the video to as many people as possible,” she said.

CHEO’s Be Sweet to Babies research team carried out a review of 142 of the videos.

“We noticed almost all of the babies cried before or during their injections, with some crying solidly for over two minutes after the injections,” said Dr. Harrison. “No videos showed breastfeeding or use of sugar water during the injections and only four babies were held in a front-front position.”

As a result of their findings, CHEO’s Be Sweet to Babies research team decided to post their own video on YouTube demonstrating effective pain reduction techniques being put into practice.

The goal of the project is to help parents and care providers to find better ways of managing children’s pain during vaccinations.

“It’s mind-blowing how these simple distractions can help them,” Harrison said.

“It really does give them comfort.”

The team will monitor the number of hits, comments, likes and dislikes the video receives over the next 12 months. It will also monitor all newly posted videos to see whether effective pain reduction strategies are starting to be implemented as a result.

“At CHEO, we believe in using evidence-driven health care to ensure the best outcomes for our children, youth and families,” said Harrison. “We hope this project will change standard practices for giv-

ing shots, therefore reducing tears and fears during injections now and in the future.”

In addition to the YouTube videos, CHEO, in partnership with Ottawa Public Health, has developed and disseminated

immunization pain fact sheets. These fact sheets have easy-to-follow advice on how to reduce pain during injections for babies, children and teens.

Dr. Denise Harrison has been researching the calming effects of sucrose on infants and children when it comes to relieving them from painful procedures, such as needles.

Women’s day offers a passport into Manotick Emma Jackson

MARC LEBREQUE PHOTOGRAPHY

Singing for a cure For the seventh year in a row, local singers and songwriters gathered together for Babes4Breasts, a fundraiser for the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation’s music therapy program and the Maplesoft Centre for cancer survivorship care. The fundraising concert benefitting breast cancer research took place at Southminster United Church on Oct. 24 and featured local artists Amanda Rheaume, Matthew Barber, James Keelaghan, Ana Miura, and Lyndell Montgomery.

OCTOBER 27, 2013

News – Women’s Day is going a step further to show the charms of Manotick to the outside world.

The sixth annual event taking place on Saturday, Nov. 2, has introduced passports for participants, who can take the booklet to the many vendors, restaurants and businesses catering to women in the village that day.

“Once it’s completed they’re eligible to enter a draw to win one of three prizes,” said Donna Smith, executive director of the

Manotick BIA, which organizes the event.

Between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Nov. 2, women are welcome to explore the village while getting pampered at every turn.

Manotick’s volunteer firefighters will help the BIA hand out 1,000 welcome gifts, and the more than 50 businesses on board will also offer sweet nothings for the ladies. “There are in-store draws, in-store specials, there are gifts and special menu items,” Smith said.

The participants range from local restaurants to health and wellness clinics. “It’s a really varied

mix.”

Throughout the day, Sax Appeal jazz quartet will roam the streets and stores offering entertainment.

Billed as the ultimate girl’s day out, the free event is a no-brainer for women looking for a fun afternoon, Smith said.

“You don’t have to buy a ticket, you just show up and wander around and have fun,” she said. “It’s a great day out for the ladies. It’s meant to be fun and interesting and educational.”

Undead bring haunted mill to life A zombie and a witch – known as Cam Trueman and Kris Schulz in their earthly lives – rise from the grave at Watson’s Mill on Oct. 24. The Manotick mill has long been rumoured to be haunted, but it was evidently true over the weekend of Oct. 26 as zombies, witches and chainsaw-wielding madmen overtook Dickinson Square for three nights of haunting.

Legion offers senior computer classes Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - Laptops, smartphones, iPads and the Internet: the futuristic gadgets of James Bond films are becoming a modern reality, but some seniors are being left behind. The Osgoode legion is hoping to change that.

Two legion volunteers now offer free, at-home computer lessons for seniors who want to be able to send emails, make documents and use the Internet. Gail Burgess said the program is meant to help seniors keep in touch with loved ones and feel connected if they can’t get out of the house. And with the cold weather creeping in, the timing couldn’t be better.

“Most seniors are houseridden in the winter time,” Burgess said. “The Internet gives them the chance to reach out and connect or to explore or research any topics of interest to them.”

Burgess and her fellow volunteer Lee Carey came up with the idea this summer. Since the legion doesn’t have Wi-Fi in the building, the program is being offered one-on-one in clients’ homes rather than in a classroom setting.

So far Burgess and Carey have worked with two people, and another client is waiting to book an appointment.

The 90-minute lessons start with the basics. The client will learn how to work with their email account, including adding and saving attachments, blind copying and carbon copying recipients, forwarding emails, organizing their inbox and creating rules.

Seniors can also get a handle on surfing the Internet. Burgess and Carey will give them a list of useful sites and show them how to search for information, download content and save favourites.

“I try to keep it so I don’t throw too much at them at once,” said Burgess, who works as a business analyst for new computer systems for the RCMP. “If they feel overpowered they shrink back. I want to give them enough to get started.”

Burgess said the lessons are free to seniors who live in Osgoode Township, the Manotick area and Kemptville. They will take their services outside of that area, but may charge a small fee to support travel costs. The money would go back to the

legion. Burgess said the program has already garnered some interest in the Osgoode and Manotick areas.

“In a sense it’s a bit of a pilot, but we haven’t put an end date on it,” she said. “If it takes off we’ll see if we can get more volunteers to help out.”

For more information or to book an appointment call Burgess at 613-821-4409.

Guertin’s top tips for spooky decorating on a budget

Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

• Buy Halloween items after Halloween to save for the next year. He estimates 99 per cent of his Halloween garb was purchased in November sales for up to 75 per cent off.

• Weed mats make great black walls or costume material. He can get 15 metres for about $10.

• Styrofoam can often be found for free – perfect for making mock tombstones.

Jean-Marc Guertin and his wife decorate their Mockingbird Drive home in full Halloween glory every year. ing up to Halloween, cars will go out of their way to come past the house on Mockingbird.

This year, they’ll have a giant spider tunnel, a maze in the backyard and a scene from the scary movie Silent Hill set up. Neighbours help out, playing characters in the different scenes.

He does it because of how much

he’s seen the neighbourhood children enjoy their Halloween’s stopping by the house.

“We just love it and the kids adore it,” he said. “They love it so much, they always say we have the coolest house. And the teenagers love it too… We’re not typical Halloween haunters.”

Halloween decorations are expen-

sive, but Guertin’s found ways to use pieces from the dollar store or thrift shop, and has made best friends with a glue gun to keep the project affordable.

But the one place he doesn’t scrimp is on candy, usually hitting the triple digits for his sugary bill.

“We get the chocolate and the good stuff,” he said.

• Leftover chicken wire and tomatoe cages can be useful to make fake bodies, and foam heads can be nought for under $5 at Value Village.

• Invest in lots of hot glue – making decorations yourself at home can save big bucks.

News - As trick-or-treaters trickle into Orléans yards on Oct. 31, one home will have a few more trick-ortreaters. “(We get) 500 to 600, without the parents counted,” said Jean-Marc Guertin, who decorates his home at 416 Mockingbird Dr. with his wife every year for Halloween.

They’ve been setting up their spooky yard ever since they moved to Orléans, and have been growing their decoration collection ever since.

Now in their seventh year, he likes to add new features or themed scenes every Halloween, to keep things different for the kids who come by and visit.

“The first year here, we started decorating a few things and we got more than 500 kids,” he said. “We put it more on the scary side, instead of cute, and the kids and teenagers loved it.”

He realized that their house was out of the ordinary after winning a local television station’s contest a few years ago, with $1,000 to spend at a Halloween store.

“We have one of the biggest collections (of decorations) you’ll ever see,” Guertin said.

MP says new plan will create jobs, boost economy Minister says senate reform may be possible without changes to Charter Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre said the recent speech from the throne on Parliament Hill points to a plan that will create jobs and stimulate the economy.

Poilievre pointed to the recently agreed free trade agreement with the European Union, calling it a win and a historic deal for Canada.

“We will be the only country to have free trade agreements with the U.S. and Europe,” he said.

The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement

will eliminate tariffs, encourage foreign investment in Canada and create jobs, Poilievre said.

“It will also give consumers more options,” he said.

A key point in the throne speech is what the government calls pro-consumer measures like limiting cellular roaming charges and allow customers to have more say in their cable programming choices.

“It allows people to get the channels they want without the expensive bundles,” Poilievre said.

On the savings side, the speech indicated the federal government will be reducing

the public service again and freezing spending increases in upcoming budgets.

Aside from job cuts and a look at sick leave and disability benefits, the government will attempt to make things more efficient by selling off property and moving to a single email system.

“We need to reduce the cost of government,” Poilievre said, adding “smaller” cuts to public service now will save the country from a slash and burn that would become necessary if the public service gets too big and too costly.

PIERRE POILIEVRE government is looking at ways to make changes to the upper chamber.

Poilievre said the suspensions of Sen. Pamela Wallin, Sen. Mike Duffy and Sen. Patrick Brazeau while their expense claims are being investigated points to the commitment of the government on reform.

Poilievre said before the Quebec Court of Appeal decision on Oct. 24, that he believes the government can go ahead with Senate reform without the co-operation of the provinces.

The question is whether the government would need the support of all 10 provinces or the support of seven that rep-

resent 50 per cent of the country’s population.

But the court ruled that the federal government had no right to set Senate term limits or elections without provincial approval.

The Supreme Court of Canada will hold hearings on the Senate in mid-November.

“It must either be reformed or abolished,” Poilievre said.

News - From birth in Lebanon to becoming a major political player in Ottawa politics, Eli El-Chantiry has come a long way.

He has been a successful businessman, dedicated community volunteer, citizen of the year and a champion for West Carleton as the ward’s councillor for the past 10 years. Add to this his current roles as chair of the Ottawa Police Services board and deputymayor and you have one busy man.

To celebrate his decade in municipal politics, the Constance Bay and Buckham’s Bay Community Association (CBBCA) and Project Sandhills are hosting The Roast of Eli ElChantiry Nov. 2. The event, presented by Thomas Cavanagh Construction, will take place at NeXT, located at 6400 Hazeldean Rd. in Stittsville.

Although the venue for the event in not in West Carleton, CBBCA past president Len Russell said it was selected for its excellent reputation and outstanding food. NeXT is the centre and restaurant of renowned chef Michael Blackie. He was formerly executive chef at the NAC and at the Brookstreet Hotel.

Project Sandhills is a

community campaign underway to raise funds to expand the Constance Bay Community Centre and library. The total project is estimated at $1.9 million dollars. Of this amount, the community contribution will be between $500,000 and $750,000.

For the past eight months, dedicated volunteers have been hard at work pulling the event, which is now sold out, together.

El-Chantiry has been roasted before. Back in 2001, when he was named West Carleton’s Citizen of the Year, the barbs flew fast and furious. And now, some of the cast who took part in 2001 will be back for this new roast including former Ottawa mayor and current Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli.

Other roasters will include Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson, Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod and former Ottawa Police Chief and current Senator Vern White.

MAJOR FUNDRAISER

“The roast is our largest of about 60 fundraisers for Project Sandhills. Because Sandhills is so large – estimated at $1.5 to $2 million – we need to attract funding from far beyond our community; the roast is one way we are doing that,” said Len Russell.

Between the roast and other events taking place steadily, the fundraiser effort is showing some positive results.

“The other fantastic milestone we will hit on the Nov 2 weekend, because every dollar we raise is matched by the city, will be passing the $1M mark in committed funding,” Russell said.

Public school board rejigs priority list Addition for A.Y. Jackson fifth on list Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - A last-minute amendment to the public school board’s capital priorities list on Oct. 22 moved a new elementary school in the Barrhaven suburb of Half Moon Bay to the top spot.

Ryan Knuth, director of public relations for the Half Moon Bay Community Association said residents are thrilled and surprised by the vote.

“I spoke with trustee Donna Blackburn before the meeting and we were hoping that was going to be the outcome,” he said. “But I had made cases in front of the board before, so I knew it could go either way.”

Knuth said the suburb currently

has more than 3,000 homes, and based on approved developments it will have almost double that by 2016.

Knuth said students are currently attending Barrhaven Public School, Jockvale Elementary and Cedarview Middle School.

“I would say students are being transported six to eight kilometres each way for school,” Knuth said.

Blackburn’s amendment asked the board to move those schools that haven’t had board approved accommodation reviews further down the wish list. The 11th-hour change moved a new school for Avalon, a suburb in Orléans, from the top spot to number seven. It also bumps a new school for Findlay Creek from fifth to eighth.

STUDY

Blackburn said without a boardapproved study of adjacent school space it wasn’t responsible to put the east-end school ahead of other

projects.

“There are 100 spots at Henry Larsen (Public School) that could accommodate some of the overflow,” she said, adding all parts of the city should be studied before priorities are set.

Chapman Mills Public School was opened in September to handle excess students from Farley Mowat and Barrhaven public schools. The board did an accommodation review in 2011 and redistributed students to ease crowding. At the time Farley Mowat and Barrhaven public had 17 and 19 portables respectively.

It was Blackburn’s second kick at the can.

She proposed a similar motion at the Oct. 1 committee of the whole meeting that put forward a list of schools that had accommodation reviews or “similar studies” completed. It was defeated.

“I think the spirit of the motion got lost in that discussion,” she said, adding she simply wanted to ensure the board followed a process when

I think the spirit of the motion got lost in that discussion DONNA BLACKBURN

“It’s not transparent,” he said.

“We had a list that we had developed with the criteria staff had chosen. Then we completely changed that with no notice to the public. No one from Orléans or Findlay Creek was present.”

Shea scoffed at the suggestion that Orléans students could be moved around to accommodate the overflow at Avalon Public School.

“There has been some decline in enrolment in other parts of Orléans, but people forget it’s quite large – 110,000 people – bigger than Barrhaven or Kanata,” he said. “I can get to Embrun during the rush hour in the morning faster than I can get to parts of Orléans that are north of the (highway) 174.”

NARROW VOTE

Six trustees voted in favour of the amendment, five opposed and one abstained, Shea said.

“It was the thinnest of margins possible,” he said, adding he hopes the ministry takes the business case

choosing priorities for the wish list set to go to the Ministry of Education on Oct. 31.

Orléans and Cumberland trustee John Shea said the amendment left him speechless.

“I thought we had closed this issue at committee of the whole,” he said, calling the last-minute move unfair.

for a new Avalon school into consideration.

“Hopefully they’ll see it is the board’s first capital priority despite what happened last night,” he said.

Mark Fisher, trustee for much of south Ottawa, said only looking at accommodation reviews to compile the list doesn’t take into account other factors that can make projects a priority.

“Staff have dozens of criteria they look at,” he said. “Pressures of full day kindergarten, class sizes and location are just a few. By limiting the list to accommodation reviews, we only have a very narrow view.”

While Fisher said he supports a new school in Half Moon Bay, he said he didn’t like politicking to get it farther up the list.

“As far as I am concerned all the projects are number one and they all have strong business cases,” he said.

“But it’s hard for me to tell residents to trust in the process when things like this happen.”

A new school in Findlay Creek is sorely needed, he said, adding the Department of National will not renew the lease beyond 2017. While the new list allows for staff to draft a special letter in support of a Findlay Creek that will be circulated to Ottawa area MPPs, Fisher said it’s tough to explain to his constituents why the project dropped three spots on the list for no apparent reason.

“A new school for Avalon and Findlay Creek have been on the list since 2006,” he said. “It’s unfortunate this process pits one community against another, which is why I supported simply moving the projects that hadn’t received money from the last round of funding to a new list.”

Fisher added the site for a new school in Findlay Creek has already paid for and has servicing. The board voted in favour of purchasing land in Half Moon Bay the same night it was put to the top of the list.

But Blackburn said she remembered calls for following the accommodation review process when the board was faced with the decision to either renovate or rebuild Broadview Public School.

“Barrhaven has done its fair share in terms of accommodating growth pressures,” she said.

The amended list of priorities will be presented to the Ministry of the Education at the end of the month for funding.

The new list in order of priority: • New school for Half Moon Bay 13.65 million • Broadview Avenue Public School rebuild $17.8 million • West Carleton Secondary School addition $6.4 million • New Stittsville Secondary School $36.1 million • AY Jackson Secondary School addition $6.4 million • Viscount Alexander Public School addition $2.43 million • New Avalon II Elementary School $13.65 million • New Findlay Creek Elementary School $13.65 million

Aries, shake things up a bit to inpsire some much-needed change.

Be a tourist in your own city if you cannot afford a trip or immerse yourself in new cultures.

It is not a good week to begin new projects, Taurus. In fact, cosmic signs point to finishing up anything you have outstanding. Try to focus on financial matters as well.

Cooperate with others this week, Gemini. This works best when you embrace compromise. Listen to what others have to say and always keep an open mind.

Cancer, a desire to get organized has been on your mind for quite some time. Now is the ideal time to do something about it. Start by clearing out clutter and go from there.

Enjoy a short vacation, Leo. It may be a jaunt to a weekend hideaway or something off the beaten path, but make the most of this well-deserved escape from the daily grind.

Virgo, you are feeling domestic this week, so enjoy puttering around the house these next several days. You can catch up on decorating or renovating the home.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes.

To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. 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. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

12. Picture done in oils 14. To and ___ movement 15. Egg cells 17. Macaws 19. Nerve inflammation 20. Energy unit 23. Herbal infusions 24. Female deer 25. Before anything else 26. Cotangent (abbr.)

Libra, you feel a strong need to communicate with others this week. Share some truths with your loved ones, but try not to come across as if you have an agenda.

Scorpio, you may have a desire to travel and seek adventure, but right now finances won’t allow it. If you can keep expenses down, you may have the opportunity soon.

Expect to have luck on your side this week, Sagittarius. As a natural born risk-taker, all you need is a little incentive to get out and take a chance.

Keep your intentions hidden from others until you are ready for the big reveal, Capricorn. This will help make the surprise even more exciting for all those involved.

Aquarius, discussions reach a point where you want to make permanent changes to your plans. Mull things over before making any final decisions, but enjoy this exciting time.

Personal details about your private life may become public, Pisces.

How this information is handled depends on your reaction.
