Tensions run high among trustees at board meeting SCHOOL BOARD, from 1

The plan aimed to solve overcrowding and program enrolment problems by creating an intermediate Grade 7 and 8 school at Glen Cairn Public School, where it could eventually partner with A.Y. Jackson to become a Grade 7 to 12 campus. The plan also assumed $6 million in future capital spending for an addition to A.Y. Jackson.

The motion had support from many parents and even the Kanata South Accommodation Review Committee (ARC), who wrote to Curry stating that staff’s recommendations were a better solution. The motion failed on a tie, 6-6. McKenzie said she couldn’t support the staff proposal for a Grade 7 to 12 model. “We heard quite strongly through the delegations and

emails and conversations that they were not in favour of the 7 to 12 model and not in favour of the intermediate school,” she said. The second motion was McKenzie’s modified version of the Kanata South ARC proposal, which staff created at her request in the weeks leading up to the meeting. The proposal was a hybrid of ARC’s original ideas as well as improvements from staff.

Staff’s main concern with the proposal, which does not turn Glen Cairn into an intermediate school, was that it did not solve the problem of weak program enrolment at Glen Cairn and would lead to another accommodation review in as little as two years. This motion also failed on a tie. While Curry was angry her modified staff recommendations weren’t passed at committee, she said her proposal isn’t dead yet. “I have given notice to bring the staff recommendation to (the OCDSB board meeting on April 24). The board has another opportunity to make the right decision for this community,” she said. Tensions were high from the

start of the board meeting on April 16, particularly between Curry and McKenzie, and increased as the meeting moved on to McKenzie’s proposal for Kanata North. McKenzie put Kanata North ARC’s recommendations forward as an alternative to staff recommendations. RideauVanier/Capital trustee Rob Campbell amended the proposal with a clause that the entire proposal hinges on building a new elementary school as soon as possible. However that proposal also failed on a tie, amid staff concerns that the plan assumes capital spending for a school that may not pan out. Staff recommendations for Kanata North were defeated

at a previous meeting. They called for an immediate $16 million in capital funding to build a new elementary school beside Earl of March Secondary School, for which the board already owns land, and an intermediate school addition on Earl of March. Curry said she was frustrated that some trustees consistently voted down staff’s recommendations, which were the result of 18 months of consultations with the community and ARC. “You’d have to ask them why would do that. Today we got an email (from the ARCs) saying ‘We agree as an ARC that staff recommendations improved upon ours.’ So why they would not listen to that, I don’t know,” Curry said. Curry’s modified staff recommendations for both areas will be up for debate at the board meeting on April 24. With files from Blair Edwards CORRECTION

Broadview parents receive support in school re-build Kristy Strauss kristy.strauss@metroland.com

EMC news - A new elementary school in Kanata north tops this year’s capital priorities list suggested by staff for the Ottawa public school board. Trustees met last week to draw up a list Trustees also considered a motion to rebuild Broadview Public School in downtown Ottawa during a board business services meeting last week. Parents wearing red “build a better Broadview” buttons were out in full force at the meeting to find out if trustees would identify their children’s school as a priority for a rebuild. A majority of school board trustees voted in favour of establishing a rebuild as a capital priority, to be included in a list due to be sent to the province on April 11, but after the meeting Broadview parents learned the decision will come back before the trustees at a meeting next month since the four-hour long meeting was adjourned at 11 p.m. “We’re optimistic that the vote will remain in May,” said Liz Burgess, co-chairwoman of the Broadview parent council. “We’re thrilled with the trustees’ majority vote to move Broadview for a rebuild.” The school’s zone trustee,

Jennifer McKenzie, put forward a motion for the school board’s capital priorities list to include a Broadview rebuild, which is estimated at around $15 million. In its capital priority recommendations for 2012, the school board included $4 million for school condition improvement funding at Broadview, an amount parents say would not address the 85-year-old school’s major problems. The school board was also willing to allocate another $1.5 million to accommodate full day kindergarten, which is set to start at the school in September 2013. Parents, however, said that wasn’t enough. “The school is at capacity and the growth we see there will increase even more,” said Burgess. “We’re already at capacity everywhere.” Trustees from across the school board debated McKenzie’s motion, asking pointed questions of the re-build supporters. Trustees John Shea and Mark Fisher asked Burgess, along with another delegation, if the parents would be willing to go through an accommodation review which they said was typical when asking for a re-build. That process includes a review that looks at an area’s facilities and programs and could result in the closure of a school. The process also takes

about two years. “I appreciate the amendment put forward,” said Shea. “But for me, it’s a ton of money and it wipes out other projects.” However, the motion also got support from trustees Theresa Kavanagh and Pam Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald said she had a personal connection to Broadview, since her son attended the school almost 10 years ago. “There weren’t proper washroom facilities 10 years ago,” she said. “That school 10 years ago was not in good shape. I look at the washrooms then and I couldn’t imagine a student being able to use them. We have not had a school built in the urban boundaries since 1997, and this school has needed a rebuild for at least that long.” Seven trustees voted in favour and five voted against, but the motion will be introduced at the school board’s next business services committee meeting. The school board is required to submit a list of capital priorities to the province by May 31. CAPITAL PRIORITIES

Her spare bedroom is now full of the dresses, shirts, belts, shoes, jewelry and more that friends have been dropping off on a daily basis. The daily visits from friends and family, fit in between rest periods, have helped Farlinger with her recovery time. Originally, the fundraiser was just going to take place in the backyard of her Kanata home, but the large number of donations â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from friends, and now strangers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; had her decide to move to a bigger, public location. The Royale donated the space needed to fit the already 400 items she estimated have been donated. Her friends have been donating their brand-name items that they have hesitated to donate to thrift stores in the past, so items range in cost from a dollar to $25. She decided to donate to the Canadian Cancer Society because of their connection network and the online resources, and the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation to keep the funds in the region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth a lot of effort, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just random sometimes,â&#x20AC;? she said of raising the funds.

The event, hosted by Belly Laughs Children and Maternity Boutique, is not only taking place in the city. On April 21 parents from over 16 countries will attempt to break the world record for the most cloth diapers changed at once. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know that there are lots of cloth-diapering families in Ottawa, and we want them to be a part of (the) world record,â&#x20AC;? said Sandy Durocher, owner of Belly Laughs. The record attempt is organized in conjunction with the Real Diaper Association, a non-profit organization that wants to show the world that cloth diapers are a viable option for todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s modern family. The international attempt to break the current world is the brainchild of Judy Aagard, owner of Tint Tots in California. Aagard said she came up with the idea to compliment Earth Day but has now morphed into a Guinness World Record breaking event. In 2011 over 5,000 babies were changed simultaneously.

Barrhaven trustee stands ground EMC news - A Barrhaven public school trustee is standing her ground after a decision made at an April 11 committee meeting prompted calls for her resignation. Blackburn voted in favour of a $15-million rebuild of Broadview Public School, rather than the staff recommendation of $4 million in repairs. Blackburn, who represents Barrhaven/Knoxdale-Merivale, said she was looking at the long term. “The costs for renovation are only to keep it up to a minimum standard,” she said, adding that it would be likely the board would likely have to pour money into the 85-year-old school for a number of years to keep it running. But Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod and Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder challenged her decision. “How does she know how much it would cost to rebuild?” Harder asked, adding there was no study done and no accommodation review. Harder said that Blackburn made the decision without doing her homework and hoped that the trustee will change her mind in the next two weeks. MacLeod said she and Harder tried to meet with Blackburn on the weekend following the vote, but that she was hesitant to meet.

By Sunday afternoon, Blackburn received a letter from Harder and MacLeod. The letter said her voting record had compromised projects in the Barrhaven community and asked for her to change her vote. She said she got a call from CTV at almost the same time. “Given your unwillingness to work with us, we feel we have no choice to inform you that parent groups and community associations are prepared to call for your resignation at the Ottawa Carleton District School Board if you do not change your position and support our community,” the letter reads. MacLeod denied that the move was parochial, saying that a rebuild of Broadview will delay school rebuilds and renovations across the city. “Number one on the list in Dalton McGuinty’s own riding is Elizabeth Park Public School,” she said, adding that the move will affect Manordale and Knoxdale public schools, along with the expansion of Longfields-Davidson Heights Secondary School (LDHSS). On April 16, MacLeod called on the provincial Minister of Education Laurel Broten to send a ministry official to investigate Kanata parents’ claims that the board went against recommendations in an accommodation review in the fast-growing community. “Last week, some trustees

ignored other accommodation reviews, turned a blind eye to their facility utilization index and flat out rejected staff recommendations in an eleventhhour power play by the chair” said MacLeod said in question period of the Broadview vote. “I am pleased to say that these are local decisions that need to be made,” Brotel said. Taz Mawji, co-chair of the LDHSS parent council, said she felt under-represented by the vote on Broadview. “She’s our trustee and it really seemed like she hadn’t done her homework,” Mawji said. In February MacLeod and the parent council co-chairs led the charge for a petition to get the funds for an expansion of the high school. The School opened in 2009 and is already packed. It has 1,400 students and 10 portables and those numbers are expected to climb as more classes are added to the grade 7 to 12 school. Mawji said board chair Jennifer McKenzie criticized MacLeod in February for the petition rally, saying that the board has processes and didn’t follow political hype. “We went back and studied scenarios as to what would happen if the kids were moved to other schools,” Mawji said, adding that she just wants Broadview to follow the same process. “Right now it seems like our trustee is endorsing queue jumping,” she said.

Blackburn said she has to balance the needs of children across the city with the ones in her own zone and that she will continue* *to fight for the expansion of LDHSS, but ccshe won’t change her mind and won’t be resigning. +

Music community mourns loss Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news – Ottawa’s music scene is grappling with the loss of Manotick musician and Tools of Creation frontman Ben DiMaria, who died Thursday, April 5 after a severe car collision near Kars on March 31. The 37-year-old suffered massive head trauma from the collision at Phelan Road East and First Line Road, and was in a coma for five days at the Ottawa Hospital before he was taken off life support

Wednesday evening. His father and band manager Luigi DiMaria said Ben’s band members Stewart Scharf and Chris Rock are “devastated” by the loss of their long time friend and colleague. “They worked as a team, they’ve been friends for such a long time,” DiMaria said, noting the future of the band is uncertain. “We don’t know if the band’s going to carry on or not. He was basically the sole writer and...most of the songs are written by Ben with a little help from the members

of the band.” Tools of Creation was a hard rock band based in Manotick that played locally at Kelly’s and at popular live venues such as Barrymore’s, Zaphod Beeblebrox and Tailgators. They’ve played with Hollerado at Dickinson Days in Manotick and recorded their CD locally. They were scheduled to record their second album at the end of April. According to the Tools of Creation website, Ben started playing drums at age four and evolved into a singer, song-

writer and guitarist into his adult life. He formed his first band, Rude Attitude, at age 12 with Tools of Creation drummer Scharf. The band has been together for about six years, although DiMaria said Ben worked had with his band members for many years before on various projects. He said there has been some talk of a musical memorial in Ben’s honour, and that the band may still decide to “carry on his dream” of making it big.

EMC news – Any new project that gets added to the list of capital priorities will likely delay the projected opening of a new elementary public school in Findlay Creek slated for September, 2014, an area public school board trustee has warned. Mark Fisher was reacting to a vote on April 11 that favoured a rebuild for Broadview Public School rather than have it repaired as recommended by staff. But the vote was later voided as the committee adjourned before they had a chance to vote on the list. Seven trustees voted in favour and five voted against the motion. “Anything that gets added to the top of the list now with no due diligence it is going to put that timeline in jeopardy,” said Fisher. The committee will vote on the capital priorities list at their next meeting early May. The school board has to submit the list to the province by May 31. A vote on the rebuilding of Broadview would put it ahead of Findlay Creek on the board’s capital priority list. “Findlay Creek is there as a priority and staff has been saying it is a priority since 2006,” said Fisher. Fisher said he was troubled by the way downtown trustees were making decisions to add projects to the capital priority list without going through due diligence. “For the three years that I have been at the board, I was really upset with the kind of discussion we were having because it was completely not the right discussion, for a board that manages a billion dollars worth of assets,” said Fisher. Not having an elementary school in Findlay Creek, a community of mostly young parents is difficult, said Sumana Jana, chair of the education committee with Findlay Creek Community Association. The association has written to the board expressing their concern about the plans and timelines for a new elementary school. “The lack of a neighbourhood school and the scattering of children across the city will have a detrimental effect on the community as children living next door to each other often don’t attend the same school,” the letter stated. Currently there are 250 children living in Findlay Creek who attend Ottawa Carleton District School Board schools outside the community. The majority of these students currently attend Elizabeth Park Public School, which trustee Fisher said cur-

Schoolyard bullies forget how democracy works

lected officials won’t always agree on what’s right, but when they disagree, the public has right to reasonable discourse. Barrhaven’s elected public school trustee voted on an issue and the local MPP and city councillor have called for her resignation. That suggestion is not only foolish and parochial, but runs counter to something called democracy. They taught that back in high school but apparently some

people were away that day. The public school voters of Barrhaven elected Donna Blackburn to represent them and she has done a good job. MPP Lisa MacLeod and Ottawa Coun. Jan Harder can disagree with Blackburn whenever they like. That too is democracy. The contentious issue is a school inside the Greenbelt. The trustees could have decided to renovate Broadview Public School or choose to rebuild.

Blackburn voted for the rebuild. It’s more costly in the short term but offers savings in the long term because the board won’t have to go back and renovate and maintain year after year. Imagine, a politician thinking in the long term! Harder and MacLeod believe Blackburn should have voted for the cheaper short term solution. They say that any dollar spent on Broadview means needed expansions of Barrhaven

schools will be delayed. MacLeod and Harder have since then made threats about Blackburn’s future as a trustee, suggesting they will seek to have her thrown out. Blackburn gets paid a pittance, suggesting she and all other school trustees serve because they want to do what’s best, not because of political ambitions. Well paid and regularly in the limelight, Harder and MacLeod believe they can act like bullies and tell Blackburn

what to do. Questioning her concern for constituents crosses a line. Blackburn was elected to make the right decisions when it comes to spending money so Ottawa’s children – all of them, not just those in Barrhaven – get the best possible education. It is patently ridiculous to suggest that all spending outside of Barrhaven slights Barrhaven residents. It begs some questions. Harder voted for renova-

tions at a Kanata library: couldn’t that money have been used to improve the Barrhaven branch? And how could MacLeod allow herself to support investment in northern Ontario when that obviously takes away investment that could benefit the people of NepeanCarleton? And finally, how would they like another elected representative to stand up and question their commitment to local residents?

COLUMN

Sorry? Just buy an ad CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

he Toronto Maple Leafs, ever the innovators, have come up with an idea that may be widely imitated, not only in sports but across the entire range of human activity. Obviously, this has nothing to do with anything that happens on the ice. Rather it relates to the innovative way that Leafs management dealt with the terrible season just concluded. Management, in the person of Larry Tannenbaum, chairman of the board, took out full page ads in Toronto newspapers to publish a letter of apology to fans of the hockey team. “We have fallen short of everyone’s expectations, and for that we are sorry,” the open letter says. “We take full responsibility for how this team performs on the ice, and we make no excuses. The way this year ended was unacceptable.” It is a shame that the letter was not published in Ottawa editions, because it would have been fun for Senators fans to read. The letter goes on in an interesting way, by suggesting that the horrible season was not really anyone’s fault, or certainly not management’s: “Ownership believes in the plan for the Maple Leafs,” the letter says, adding “passion, hard work and accountability will always be the hallmarks of our organization.” So the plan was good and everybody worked hard and was accountable and passionate. Somehow it didn’t work out. “The Toronto Maple Leafs are privileged to have such passionate and loyal fans. We do not take that for granted. Our entire organization

wants nothing more than to deliver a team that makes you proud.” Better minds than ours can analyze the hockey aspects of all this. What is of interest here is the concept of public apology and its possible future uses. Might it not, for example, aid Ottawa city council in its city planning efforts to take out the occasional full-page ad to explain why your neighbourhood suddenly looks like hell: “Ottawa city council wants nothing more than to deliver a neighbourhood that makes you proud. We believe in the plan for your neighbourhood. However, the 27-storey building that replaced the corner store falls short of everyone’s expectations, although it exceeds the developer’s.” The hospitals might drop us a line every once in a while: “The Ottawa Hospital is passionate about providing ample parking for visitors and inpatients, with the exception of on the street and in our parking garage which is always full and very expensive when it is not. We have fallen short of expectations but we believe in our plan and make no excuses and remind you to leave an hour early for appointments just in case.” You can see how useful this device can be. As an interesting side-effect, all those full-page ads would do wonders for the ailing newspaper industry. It’s a win-win, really. And there is also no reason why individuals could not take advantage as well. “As an individual I am passionate about cleaning up after my dog and I believe in my plan for doing so. However, my dog recently fell short of everyone’s expectations, and for that we, Rover and I, are sorry. The mess in the park was unacceptable, but we are committed to delivering grass that you can walk on.” But it’s unreasonable to expect an ordinary citizen to take out a full-page ad. Something smaller would do for such offences as not letting you in on the Queensway or crunching your popcorn bag too loudly in the multiplex. The community just needs to know that you are genuinely sorry, and also passionate.

Congratulations and thank you to all the boys, you should be very proud of yourselves and to the coaching staff (Mike Eastwood, Dean Johnson and Ryan Mitchell) who treated the boys with respect and taught them that the very essence of any successful sporting team is that you win as a team and you lose as a team.

Transit contract signals ‘new era of co-operation’ First time in 23 years the city, union have agreed on a contract before the last deal expired Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - A new era of co-operation between the City of Ottawa and its transit union was heralded by city officials on April 11, as the union and members of council both voted in support of a new fouryear deal. About 80 per cent of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 279 members voted 85 per cent in favour of the deal on April 10 and 11, followed by a unanimous city council vote on April 11. The contract will see transit workers’ wages go up a total of 8.25 per cent over the term of the contract, along with other provisions that made the union happy, including creating a staff working group to address scheduling issues, bringing work back to the Merivale garage and relaxing uniform requirements. The deal will save the city

money in benefit payouts, Mayor Jim Watson said, but it will end up costing the city a total of $7.5 million over the four years. Most of that cost comes from the wage increases, noted transit commission chairwoman Diane Deans. Still, it’s a good deal for taxpayers, the mayor said. “This will ensure reliable, affordable and sustainable transit service for the next four years,” Watson said. “This signals a new era of co-operation,” Deans said. “For the next four years, riders can rest assured there will be no interruption of transit service.” But even more important, this contract sets the stage for a new, hands-on collaborative approach to labour negotiations. Watson also applauded new OC Transpo general manager John Manconi for bringing “a new sense of optimism” to the bargaining table. Councillors unanimously approved the contract, but not before hearing a lengthy presentation from city lawyer David White who gave council a lengthy history of the city’s sour relationship with the transit union. That relationship went south in the winter of 200809, when OC Transpo buses stopped running during a 53day transit strike. “It’s clear that in the years following that strike, there

sit commission, which was followed by a “watershed moment” of the city and the ATU coming to an agreement on a one-year contract extension.

That contract extension lasted until March 30, 2012, and the new tentative agreement was reached just before that extension was up – the

first time in 23 years that was accomplished. “That fact alone speaks to the drive on both bargaining teams to find a win-win position.”

Kanata Seniors’ Council president Kay Dubie and vice president Liz Tucker test out a couple of this year’s Far West Fun Fest 2012 new events. Sarah Trant photo

Kanata Seniors Council

The Kanata Seniors Council is gearing up to host a fun-filled festival for seniors in May. Last year, the council introduced a two-week program of events roughly following the example of the Ontario Senior Games, which were once organized by the city. “What we wanted was to put together a variety of events, both sedentary and more physical, with a heavy emphasis on the fun and social side of things,” said council president Kay Dubie. “Our first Far West Fun Fest was a test run, but the reactions were so positive and so many enquiries have come in asking if this was going to happen again, and if so when, we decided to go forward with the 2012 edition.” Building on last year’s success, Fun Fest 2012 is “bigger and better than ever before,” she said. “We’ve added cribbage, a photo rally, Frolf, flower arranging, a carnival day, an outing to the tulip festival, yoga, a

fitness dancing session which allows people to try a bit of three popular activities – zumba gold, nia and Bollywood and a trivia competition to the basic program we launched last year,” said Dubie, “so there really is something for everybody and lots to choose from.” This year’s Fun Fest kicks off on May 3 with a breakfast featuring The honourable Alice Wong, MP for Richmond, B.C. and Minister of State for Seniors, as guest speaker. Mary Cook, well known Ottawa Valley story-teller, will weave her magic at the closing lunch on May 17. Registration costs $20 per person (some events may have a small additional charge) but “to be sure you get the event you want it would be wise to register soon,” says Dubie. Registration forms (which comprise detailed descriptions of this year’s events) are available at the Kanata Seniors Centre, 2500 Campeau Dr., or at any of the participating seniors residences. Participants must choose

their events, fill in a form in the registration booklet, then drop the form and payment – cheques must be made payable to the Kanata Seniors’ Council – at the Kanata Seniors centre or a participating seniors’ residence. The deadline is Friday, April 27 which is coming up really fast,” said Dubie, But we’ll do everything we can to accommodate late comers and we’re really looking forward to a great turnout.” For more information those interested may contact Liz Tucker at 613 592 5585.

Second stormwater pond approved in Riverside South Laura Mueller

The main tower of an under-construction pedestrian and cycling bridge over the Airport Parkway, seen here last November, has been deemed deficient and will be demolished.

speculation about problems with the bridge last fall. In November, Hunt Club Community Association president John Sankey, a retired engineer, questioned whether the delays were a sign of bigger problems. “It was rather obvious about a month ago that there was a serious problem discovered with the tower. Work instantly stopped,” Sankey said in November 2011. “I’m suspicious as to what the problem might be, but it’s obvious there may be a major design problem with the tower.” At the time, City of Ottawa project manager Jeffrey Waara said the delays came from prolonged design discussions with the rebar manufacturers, who supply the allimportant support structures that keep the bridge upright. “This is a very complicated structure. The manufacturing

of the rebar has taken longer than anticipated. There have been a lot of technical solutions to look at,” he said in November. Since the bridge is intended to be a gateway feature welcoming visitors who arrive at the Ottawa International Airport, it’s also important to ensure the bridge looks good, McRae added, although safety is paramount. City staff will be going the contractor’s report with a “vicious, fine-toothed comb” to ensure the city is protected financially, McRae said. “It is the city’s position and expectation that this bridge will be completed within the Council approved budget envelope,” McRae wrote to councillors. The project was slated to cost $5 million. With files from Emma Jackson

EMC news – A contractor will have to tear down and rebuild a troubled, long-delayed pedestrian bridge over the Airport Parkway in the city’s south end. River Coun. Maria McRae sent an email to city councillors on April 13 informing them that city staff and the contractor, Louis W. Bray Construction Ltd., agreed that the “most expedient solution” would be to tear down the existing main tower, which is a curved, A-frame support with a circle cut out to echo the city’s logo. The bridge was supposed to be open for pedestrians and cyclists to travel from Cahill Drive West and the South Keys plaza last fall, with final landscaping touches planned for this spring.

Instead, the main component of the project will be demolished and restarted from scratch, the councillor said. An updated construction timeline won’t be available until the week of April 23, McRae wrote in her email to councillors. “The disappointment factor is huge,” she said in an interview. Still, if the construction was deficient, in the long term it’s better that it will be torn down and reconstructed, McRae said. “I think I would have wondered forever,” McRae said, referring to the safety of the bridge had the contractor tried to patch it up instead of rebuild it. “It’s the city’s goal that this bridge will be built to the highest possible standards,” she said. Construction delays led to

EMC news - With another stormwater pond on the way for growing Riverside South, Coun. Steve Desroches wants to ensure a “rotten egg” odour that plagued another pond isn’t repeated. The city’s planning committee approved a financial arrangement to construct a pond designed to hold excess rainwater and prevent flooding in an upcoming development. The ponds, which are also supposed to function as recreational areas, have become a sore spot for Riverside South residents, who have complained of a strong sulphur smell emanating from the pond since 2009. The agreement with the Riverside South Development Corporation for a new pond was delayed until last week on Oct. 25 as city staff tried to find solutions to fix the problem in an existing pond. During the April 10 planning committee meeting, Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches put city staff on the spot and asked for assurances that odours would not be a problem at the new pond. The stench and lengthy process to find a solution have been disappointing and unfortunate, Desroches said. “This is a beautiful pond that people want to enjoy for four seasons of the year,” Desroches said. “It’s taken us unfortunately a few experiments

to get a result with the technology we have.” After trying out a few solutions this winter, city staff determined the best fix is a device that sends an electric current through the water to increase the level of dissolved oxygen. But that reactive solution won’t fly when it comes to building new ponds, Desroches said. The delay in approving the new pond was meant to give time for the developer to come up with better plans to prevent odours from developing at all. City health officials say the pond is so smelly in winter because a naturally occurring sulfate in the pond bottom depletes the oxygen in the water, creating hydrogen sulfide gas. In warmer months this chemical can disperse into the atmosphere unnoticed, but when the pond freezes over the gas can’t escape as easily. This causes the gas to leave in larger amounts from small open water areas, creating a more concentrated rotten egg smell. The new pond will be constructed north of Spratt Road and east of Limebank Road, in a vacant area where new housing developments will begin to be built over the next couple of years. The pond is expected to cost $18.5 million to construct. The Riverside South Development Corporation will pay the cost and the city will reimburse the corporation over time.

Immaculata wins volunteer award michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news – A long-running fundraising campaign at Immaculata High School has won a volunteering award handed out by the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. Every year since 1996, students at Immaculata have been helping to raise money for the foundation through their participating in the CIBC Run for the Cure. So far this year, the school has raised $27,056, a far cry from the $350 librarian Darlene Charron raised when she initiated the fundraising campaign at Immaculata 16 years ago. “I am so proud of them, how they take it on and make

it their own,” Charron said of the students’ efforts. “I am just floored by how much they can raise in the short time we have.” Charron was excited about the volunteer award win. Charron asked her Grade 12 team captain, Aline Bou-Hanna, to attend the award ceremony on April 15 in Toronto. Bou-Hanna alone raised $1,101 for the cause. “She has been a member of the team since she came to the high school,” Charron said. Bou-Hanna said she is nervous but excited about going to the ceremony. She attended the event with her mother and her aunt, who is currently being treated for breast cancer. “It is an honour for our

school to be nominated,” BouHanna said. “But the best part is the reward of getting everyone to fundraise together and help find a cure for breast cancer.” Bou-Hanna had some excellent help with her fundraising efforts. Grade 8 captain Siena Santaguida also raised an astonishing amount of money, signing up for the online donation form from the foundation and with the help of her father’s Facebook account, she managed to raise $2,955. “It worked so well because it really got the campaign out there,” Santaguida said. Immaculata has raised $156,906.84 since it started participating in the campaign in 1996.

Three-storey infill apartment approved for Sunnyside Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

Making Landscaping Dreams

Come true since 1984

EMC news - In the face of ever-increasing infill, the Old Ottawa South Community Association has put its foot down on the issue of a rooftop patio. Community association board member Brendan McCoy said the group was OK with intensification, but the loss of privacy for neighbours due to the rooftop patio became a line in the sand. But the argument wasn’t enough to sway the city’s planning committee from approving the six-unit apartment building at 337 Sunnyside Ave. during an April 10 meeting. The three-storey building will replace a home and a vacant lot, creating homes for about six families where only one lives now. That’s in line with the city’s intensification policy, argued city planners, and councillors on the committee agreed. “We need to increase population density without changing the character of the neighbourhood,” said Capital Coun. David Chernushenko. “It’s accomplishing many of our infill objectives.”

While the community association did have concerns about the mass and height of the building (although that height would have still been allowed under the existing zoning), McCoy said the group was willing to support the project if the rooftop patio was removed. “It’s not in keeping with the neighbourhood,” he said, adding that the rest of the street’s homes have amenity space on the ground in a more traditional format: front and back yards. The proposed apartment building would fill much of the site, leaving little room for a yard on any side. That frustrated a few other neighbours, who argued to the planning committee that reducing the setbacks would negatively impact their enjoyment of their homes and reduce their privacy. But the building’s architect, Vincent Colizza, argued that every effort had been made to ensure the patio would not affect neighbours’ privacy. He designed a landscape buffer at the roof’s edge so that people won’t be able to go right to the edge and look into neighbouring homes or yards.

Shrubs and plants will also block their view of neighbouring yards, he said, adding that the number of people who use rooftop patios and the amount of time they spend there is probably less than neighbours expect. McCoy lamented one-off rezonings that he said are changing the character of neighbourhoods like Old Ottawa South and called on the planning committee to order a community design plan be completed for the area. Planning committee chairman Peter Hume said he was surprised to hear that request because CDPs are intended to promote and shape rapid growth in a community – not limit growth or change. “What you’d be saying is, this is an area we expect a lot of redevelopment to occur at might higher densities,” Hume said. “I’m a little surprised at that.” McCoy agreed that while the community is already grappling with a lot of infill, a CDP might not be the best approach. Instead, he looked towards the city’s approval of the new infill design guidelines during the same meeting as a positive step.

One of Kanata Theatre’s longest serving members is stepping down from a six-year stretch as director of box office. But Eufron Williams, box office guru together with her husband Dewi go back much further than that; they held the very first play reading, “You Can’t Take It With You”, at their home in Beaverbrook, Kanata almost 44 years ago on Nov. 17, 1968. It was that year the Kanata Standard reported Dewi as vice president and producer of the Kanata Theatre Group. Since then Dewi and Eufron

have tirelessly volunteered countless hours of dedicated and committed support to enthusiastic back stage crew, actors and audience members alike, and provided lively entertainment such as in this picture Rise & Shine performed on April 12, 1969.

We will be featuring an assortment of perennial plants, as well as a variety of heritage tomato plants grown from organic seeds. KMHS is holding a contest this year to recognize outstanding residential horticultural displays and encourage children to learn about gardening. The KMHS Trillium Garden Awards will encompass a Residential Garden Award for beautification or enhancement of a residential property based on the creation of new landscapes or the modification of existing plantings. This competition encourages property owners to de-

velop their gardens and hone their skills. The other award is an education award for elementary school children who are asked to provide “My Favourite Garden Story”. More details will be forthcoming on the awards and nomination process. Our society members are local gardeners from novice to expert in experience, who share a common love of plants and gardening.

A Pool Table Or a Natural Remedy For Sleep and Snoring? How much Tiger is in your tank as you start the day? Not much, if you’ve been tossing and turning at night due to sleep apnea. Or, if your partner has shaken the foundation, with his or her snoring. Insomnia and snoring aﬀect millions of North Americans and can be associated with serious health problems. Now, a natural remedy, “Bell Sound Sleep”, helps these troubling problems.

Fans and organizers prepare for first Ottawa Comiccon Scott Girvin scott.girvin@metroland.com

EMC entertainment - Ottawa Comiccon is set to launch this May 12 and 13 at the CE Centre where fans will have the opportunity to meet several popular actors and actresses from Star Trek: The Next Generation, The Incredible Hulk and Star Wars. “It’s extremely exciting that we can bring events like this to Ottawa that normally wouldn’t have a place [to set up],” said Josh Zaret, general manager of the CE Centre. Zaret also stated that the “financial impact and publicity” that Comiccon brings is doing wonders for the new centre as the event looks to bring fans from Ottawa’s neighboring cities together under one roof. Local convention goers also have a share in the excitement as they wait for the convention’s detailed floor plan to become publically available. “It’s difficult to (plan) right now because they haven’t released all of the programming yet,” said Courtney Stone, a Carelton University student and Ottawa Comiccon exhibitor. “But it’s exciting because I know they will have something for everybody.”

Stone said that her exhibit will feature jewelry and accessories she created out of polyhedral dice, “which are most know from games like Dungeons and Dragons.” Among the exhibition buffs are those who immerse themselves in convention culture to a more extensive level. The cosplayers – those who dress as specific pop or science fiction characters – will be attending the event in throngs and are currently hard at work as they look to complete their costumes in time for weekend-long event. Algonquin College alumnus, Morgan Dunbar has cosplayed in multiple Comiccon events where she would often create a different costume for each occasion. “When you go to things like Comiccon or Fan Expo, it’s more common to see people dress up,” said Dunbar. “You actually end up standing out more if you don’t.” This year, Dunbar plans to dress as Captain America, a fictional character that appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. Creating the costume from scratch gave her the chance to add some personal flare on the more classic design.

“It was a lot of finding individual pieces and modifying them; like my helmet, which was originally green, but I spray painted it blue and hand painted the ‘A’” said Dunbar. “Others, like the belt, were made from scratch. I sewed all the pouches from my own pattern.” Dunbar is also an exhibitor for Ottawa Commicon and plans to sell jewelry that she created out of polymer clay. When asked about the decision to bring the convention to Ottawa, David Newman, vice-president of creative development at Ottawa Comiccon said that one of the main reasons was the multiple requests from fans on Facebook and countless ones from enthusiasts who normally attend the convention in Montreal but wished that the event was closer to home. “Ottawa convention goers have really humbled us,” said Newman. “We knew we had a fan base here but we didn’t realize just how many.” To those fans who are wondering whether or not Comiccon will make a returning appearance next year, rest easy: “We intend to make this event happen every year, for eternity,” said Newman.

You’re in excellent company if you suﬀer from insomnia. Napoleon, Sir Isaac Newton, Winston Churchill and Thomas Edison all tried to count sheep without success. Others, such as Marilyn Monroe, used increasing amounts of prescription sleeping pills, with tragic results.

years to determine what, if any, medical conditions resulted from insomnia. This showed that women who slept for 5 hours had a 39 percent increased risk of heart attack, compared to those who had 8 hours of sleep. Sleep apnea, in which breathing temporarily stops several times during the night, poses other problems. During these episodes a decreased amount of oxygen reaches the brain triggering increased blood pressure and a more rapid heart rate. If this occurs night after night the risk of heart attack and stroke rises.

Sleep deprivation can also have far-reaching consequences for our environment. It’s believed to have been a factor in the crash and oil spill by both the Exon Valdez and the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.

Insomnia also has an impact on today’s epidemic of diabetes. University of Chicago researchers required a group of young men to sleep just 4 hours a night. This caused an increase in blood sugar, a decrease in the hormone insulin, and a 40 percent decrease in the rate sugar was removed from the blood.

So how many hours of sleep do we need? There’s no magic number for everyone. Alexander The Great probably won many battles because he needed little sleep and could “cat nap”. But most people require seven to eight hours to function well.

Sleep debt also increases the appetite and food consumption. It’s believed that the hormone leptin gives us a good feeling when we’ve had suﬃcient food. But insomnia decreases the amount of leptin causing a craving for food, particularly carbohydrates.

Researchers believe sleep allows the body to prepare itself for another day. If this doesn’t happen due to chronic insomnia, the risk of a number of health problems is increased. For instance, the Nurses Health Study at The Harvard Medical School followed 70,000 nurses for 10

Studies done at the University of California show that tossing and turning at night also puts the immune system at risk. Researchers found that healthy men, deprived of partial sleep for just one night, have a less eﬀective immune system the following day. Their natural killer cells to

ﬁght infections and cancer were compromised. So what’s the best treatment for insomnia? Napoleon believed he could sleep only if his feet were pointing south. W.C. Fields, the comedian, used to seek sleep in a barber’s chair, or on a pool table. U.S. President, Theodore Roosevelt, had a shot of cognac in a glass of milk, an improvement over a pool table. Still others need a warm bath before retiring, a cool room, staying up later or reading a book. And some resort to expensive pressurized masks attached to a machine. These are uncomfortable and cumbersome and many users learn to hate them. The best approach to insomnia and snoring is to keep it simple, particularly since studies show that 45 percent of the population have this problem. It makes no sense to take prescription drugs, when a natural product, “Bell Sound Sleep” is available. “Bell Sound Sleep” is approved by Health Canada and contains melatonin, camomille, ﬂeur de la passion, skulcap and valeriane, all natural ingredients, is inexpensive and can be obtained in most health food stores in Canada and the U.S. Or from www.belllifestyleproducts.com. The suggested dosage is 4 capsules initially. This can be reduced to 3 or 2 capsules as sleeping habits improve. Don’t forget that silence at night will change your life and that of your partner. Besides a capsule is better than sleeping in a barber’s chair or on a pool table.

Infill guidelines endorsed despite objections Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news – A push to update rules and make new “infill” homes better fit into existing neighbourhoods sparked one of the first bigpicture policy discussions to hit the city’s planning committee under this council. The debate at planning committee on April 10 was started by a litany of more than 20 delegations. First, a series of development industry representatives asking for

a delay in order to influence more changes to the rules and then community activists who applauded the opportunity to finally address the issue of retaining the feel of the neighbourhoods they love. Eventually, councillors brushed off the concerns of the development industry and sided with community associations, nine of whom came out in support of the new rules. The vote at planning committee was unanimous, but councillors also agreed to delay when the new guidelines

would be approved by full city council (May 8 instead of April 25) to allow for technical changes to wording in the guidelines that were requested by the development industry. The changes are aimed at cooling some of the tensions that arise when neighbours don’t like the size of a new home being proposed where there wasn’t one before, such as the practice of splitting up a lot that used to have one home and building two or three homes in its place. Plans for extremely tall

towers draw hundreds of people to public meetings, but smaller infill homes are fought piecemeal, more quietly, across the city on a regular basis. While the city can’t do anything to legislate the style of the houses (some neighbours dislike more modern-looking buildings in older neighbourhoods), it can regulate details that help a home fit into its street: size, location of the driveway and garage, how far back from the street, whether front-yard trees are saved and

other details aimed at creating a sense of cohesion with surrounding homes. Architect Rosaline Hill, who said she works on many infill projects, led the plea from the development industry to delay the changes, which have been contemplated and discussed at private and public meetings for more than a year. Hill said the changes will decrease compatibility of infill home with their neighbours: the opposite effect of what’s intended. “These recommendations will frustrate this industry and may even kill it,” added Murray Chown, a development lawyer who spoke at the meeting on behalf of Haslet Construction, Falsetto Homes, Tony Cassone and Mircoa Design. But councillors on the planning committee disagreed, saying delays were unacceptable. Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs, whose ward has the highest level of small infill development in the city, said any delay would put neighbourhoods and homes at risk. Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder said the development industry would likely appeal any new regulations the city passes, whether there is a delay for alterations or not. COMMUNITY GROUPS SUPPORT RULES

While the development industry found flaws with the new rules, community associations offered resounding support for the city’s plan. Wellington West resident Mary-Ellen Kot said her neighbourhood felt more like a village when she moved there 24 years ago, but now it’s only a “village” for realestate purposes. “We simply feel our wards are experiencing a lot of infill and the characteristics of our neighbourhoods are not being

respected,” she said. “Before this study, we didn’t have a say.” Champlain Park resident Heather Pearl told the committee that communities like hers want to find a balance between developers who see neighbourhoods as blank slates and community stalwarts who consider their neighbourhood to be a static, never-changing place. But some community associations still had concerns the new infill guidelines didn’t address and two urban councillors took up their causes. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury was successful in his pitch for a three-year pilot project to require additional city approvals if existing homes are converted into apartments, a major concern in Sandy Hill, which has seen many conversions to student apartments. Capital Coun. David Chernushenko was frustrated that a provision preventing frontyard parking on small lots was removed from the final guidelines after appearing in the draft version. He is so convinced of the trickle-down negative effects of allowing that type of parking that he agreed to put $15,000 from his office budget towards hiring an expert to back up his claim. Allowing too much frontyard parking requires creating more openings in the curb, called “curb cuts,” which reduces the amount of on-street parking. That puts pressure on parking, but it also leads motorists to drive faster. “There is a lengthy list of reasons,” Chernushenko said. “When you have no cars parked on the street, it becomes a speedway … you need activity on the street that makes drivers slow down and be cautious.”

Feds cut anti tobacco funding Special to the Kourier-Standard

EMC news - The Canadian Cancer Society strongly opposes significant funding cuts to Health Canada’s Federal Tobacco Control Strategy (FTCS). The society and other health groups were informed by the federal government that the FTCS’s budget will be cut by $15 million. This is a cut of more than a third of the strategy’s yearly budget of $43 million. “We are alarmed and extremely disappointed that the government has made such significant cuts to Health Canada’s highly successful tobacco control strategy,” says Rob Cunningham, senior policy analyst at the Canadian Cancer Society. “This strategy has been working and these reductions will negatively impact continuing efforts to reduce smoking rates. When considering the devastating toll that smoking takes on Canadians, Health Canada should be doing more to reduce tobacco use, not less.” Renewed funding for the

strategy is crucial as it has been the cornerstone of Canada’s successful battle to reduce tobacco use. The FTCS has helped reduce adult smoking rates from 25 per cent in 1999 to 17 per cent in 2010, while smoking rates among youth aged 15 to 19 have dropped from 28 to 12 per cent over the same period. Canada can afford the investment required for continued action against tobacco use, especially given that reduced cigarette smuggling has resulted in a recent $480 million increase in annual federal tobacco tax revenue. The $43 million yearly budget for the Federal Tobacco Control Strategy is only 1.4 per cent of the estimated $3 billion in total tobacco taxes collected annually by the federal government. After the funding cuts, less than one per cent of federal tobacco tax revenue will be invested in tobacco control. “It’s difficult to understand how the federal government can make this severe cut to tobacco control funding when they’re receiving significantly more federal tobacco tax revenue than in the past,” says Cunningham.

Comment wanted for Rideau drinking water policy RVCA looking for residents’ feedback on a plan that aims to keep contiminants out of rivers, deadline is May 4 Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority is looking for feedback on a drinking water protection plan it has drafted with the Mississippi Conservation Authority.

Until May 4, residents from across Rideau-Goulbourn, Kemptville, Almonte and Carleton Place can comment on the policy that aims to keep contaminants out of rivers and groundwater where they are a source of municipal drinking

water. The draft policy is mandated by the provincial Clean Water Act of 2006, which calls for a water source protection plan for each region in the province. Local source protection committees, typically spearheaded by the regional conservation authorities, have been created across Ontario and must submit their protection plans to the province by August 2012.

Municipalities are expected to begin implementing some aspects of the plan in 2013. The committee will host three open houses in April to explain the draft policy for affected residents. The first will take place at the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority head-

sin-South Nation committee, which is creating a similar policy for the eastern Ottawa region from Greely all the way to the St. Lawrence basin. “The general intent is the same, especially on activities and threats that are in their area and our area,” said Raisin-South Nation water resources engineer Phil Barnes. That was the city of Ottawa’s main concern. Since the city straddles two source protection plan areas, staff want to make sure the two policies are very similar to make implementation easier. “Our concern...is how the plans are meshed together so we don’t have different policies for the west and the east,” said Michel Kearney, a hydro geologist for the city. He noted that if the policies differ too greatly council may decide to implement the more restrictive policy across the board. “We have the choice to do that, it would be the decision of council if we want to do that,” he said.

committee’s draft policy would require area municipalities from Kemptville to Almonte and all the way to urban Ottawa to enforce stricter standards for 21 activities that could potentially contaminate drinking water, such as fuel storage, using septic systems, applying pesticides, fertilizer and other chemicals, and other industrial and agricultural activities. Project manager Sommer Casgrain-Robertson said the most common activities near municipal wells in the Mississippi-Rideau area include use and storage of home heating oil, a variety of agricultural practices and septic system use. A statement asking for feedback said the plan will include a number of voluntary and mandatory policies that “encourage good stewardship, require additional oversight or risk reduction measures where necessary and prohibit certain activities from being established in the future.” Most of the policies would be enforced by municipalities.

EMC news – “I come in from the balcony. For a moment I want to have the cat’s ability to wait Until things turn around But the cat has no choice. Sometimes neither do I.” - Excerpt from “The Balance” by Bev Cummings Every two weeks for the past four years, the Moods Expressed art group has met to talk about their work, plan shows, and give each other

creative feedback. Despite another common link – the group is run through the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), and all members must have serious mental health issues to join – the art remains the focus. A CMHA client had the idea, and vocational support specialist Christine Gagné ran with it, forming the group in 2008. “People who have mental illness can be as artistic as someone who isn’t,” Gagné

said. The first show was held at the CMHA office in April 2008, and resulted in $1,000 of sales, an encouraging result for the artists. “That sparked their happiness and self-esteem,” Gagné said. Since then, they have been in a wide variety of shows, including an entrepreneurship and art event, and the psychosocial rehabilitation conference. ART GROUP, see 22

Great Canadian Theatre Company launches 38th season Kristy Strauss

kristy.strauss@metroland.com

EMC entertainment - Comedy and laughter will ring in the Great Canadian Theatre Company’s 38th season starting this September. The 2012-2013 season lineup was announced at the theatre on April 11, where artistic director Lise Ann Johnson spoke about the productions the theatre has in store for audiences this season. “It’s a season rich with heart and humour,” said Johnson. “(They’re plays about) fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, friendship, people following their dreams and passions.” The first play of the season, which will start Sept. 11, is The Secret Mask a play about an estranged son and father reconnecting after the father suffers a stroke. The production was written by Winnipeg-based Rick Chafe, who said the play is semi-autobiographical. Chafe’s own father suffered a stroke in 2003, so the writer based the play on this experience. “Rick is a really skilful comic writer who takes serious subject matter and makes it warm and humourous,” Johnson said. The second play is Fly Me to the Moon, which runs from Oct. 30 to Nov. 18. It’s a production about two caregivers looking after an elderly man

Jones, who connected with the event via Skype from Northern Ireland, said that the production went “brilliantly”

in Belfast. “So many people can recognize these two women, who are thrown into an extraordinary situation,” said Jones. From Nov. 27 to Dec. 16, the theatre will bring back a play they featured 14 seasons ago: Number 14 – a comedy about a bus in Vancouver. “It’s Vancouver’s funniest bus, and it’s fun for the whole family,” said Johnson. “It’s the most enjoyable evening at the theatre I’ve ever experienced.

EMC entertainment - Last year, the Big Brothers Big Sisters Ottawa launched the Buddy Up campaign, with a goal to raise $100,000. They fell short by $60,000, leading one of their big brothers to seek out the extra money. Big Brothers Big Sisters is a charitable organization that matches up volunteer mentors with a younger “brother or sister”; a youth who may not have a same-sex role model in their lives. Jason Myerson, who grew up in Orleans but now lives in downtown Ottawa, has been a big brother for years, and has seen the impact it’s made on his little brother. He decided to launch a campaign called Climb4Kids, the main June event at the Coyote Rock Gym. Climb4Kids has hosted a variety of events in the lead up to the climbing event, and is holding what may be their biggest fundraiser on April 28 at 8 p.m. at the Ottawa Little Theatre at 400 King Edward Ave. Mark Chippa and his 11piece big band will perform a variety of music, with a combination of pop and swing style music. “This could potentially be our biggest fundraiser,” Myerson said. “If we can fill the house, we could raise $10,000.” After venue and band costs, 100 per cent of the $35

It coincides with the story of Edward Curtis, an American photographer who worked in the early 1900s and took more than 40,000 photos of 80 aboriginal tribes. “It was a massive project, and one that Edward Curtis was dedicated to,” said Johnson. “He felt he was documenting a race that was vanishing.” The show, written and directed by Marie Clements and runs from April 2 to 21, will also feature a photo exhibit. “The play and exhibit are both investigative of the false notion of a disappearing race,” Johnson said. “It’s a really moving piece.” The final show of the 201213 season will be Like Wolves, a story about a couple celebrating their 54th wedding anniversary when the husband, Sam, has a heart attack. While he’s in the hospital getting treated his wife, Rosa, is accompanied by her two daughters who aren’t doing much to help the situation. “Everyone conspires against (Rosa),” said Johnson. “It’s a charming play by a fantastic playwright that asks questions in a comic way.” The theatre will also hold its third annual Undercurrents festival between Feb. 5 and 17, with programming to be announced this fall.

For this, concrete, instead of wood, champions them all. “Wood framing is outdated now,” Blyth continued. “Concrete, on the other hand, saves the forest, eliminates toxicity, and delivers superior structural, environmental, and human health benefits.

Downsizing a Home (MS) - When a person comes to a certain age and the children move out and on with their own lives, a home may become too big for its occupants. At this point, residents may feel it’s time to downsize to a smaller home. Downsizing can be exciting and challenging at the same time. Going through and packing belongings can be a trip down memory lane. But chances are a smaller space will mean that a person will have to part with a number of his belongings collected over time. To make the process easier, first assess how much space there will be in the new home. Many times floor plans or room dimensions are available. First measure large items, such as furniture, to be

trash. When actually beginning to get rid of things, start with the areas that receive the least amount of use. Belongings stored in the attic or basement may be simply taking up space and hold less sentimental value. People can then work their way toward items that are used on a regular basis. Duplicates of things can be donated. It can be cathartic to clear out clutter and get ready to start anew. Some people find they have to downsize because of financial reasons. In these cases, thinning out belongings can also be a way to earn a few extra bucks. Selling or auctioning off seldom used items may produce a little extra cash that can help finance moving expenses or even bills.

sure it will fit in the rooms. Then think about storage possibilities. Next, make a running list of what items can be discarded and where those items will go. Some belongings can be donated to charity, while others may be given to family and friends. Many other things could end up in the trash or recycling bins. Knowing where things will go will make them easier to sort. For those doing a major clean-out of the home, it could be efficient to hire a dumpster to be placed on-site. This way, larger bulk items can simply be tossed inside. Some municipalities restrict what can be placed in the regular trash or how much garbage can be collected, so this alleviates the stress of dealing with excess

There was no doubt about it, the snow was gone, the trees were showing their early buds, the robins were back and all of Northcote was anticipating the first social event of the season. It was time to put down the flooring behind the United Church for the first outdoor dance. This was made up of big slabs of boards put together, sitting on blocks of wood to make it solid. It would comfortably hold two square dance couples, or three if they were careful. Sap buckets had been put away, the Model T taken off its blocks in the drive shed and the days were getting hot and longer, with the early evenings just right for the first outdoor party. The farmers were yet to get on the land and when that happened, there wouldn’t be much time left for such frivolity as a neighbourhood dance. They would go out at sunrise and their days wouldn’t end until the daylight had faded. These party evenings said winter was over and summer was just around the corner.

Lemon, tarragon pair in easy chicken dish A simple twist on a basic dish

f you’re looking for a simple yet different way to prepare chicken, this recipe will do the job. A combination of bread crumbs, lemon juice, parsley and tarragon give this chicken lots of flavour while keeping it very moist during cooking. You can make your own bread crumbs, or use Panko, which is a Japanesestyle bread crumb. Sold in boxes in most supermarkets, these are a dry, medium-coarse crumb which gives food a crisp coating when cooked. When you shop for this recipe, look for thinner chicken breasts rather than thick ones. They’ll cook more quickly, and the crumb coating is less likely to get overly-browned.

Food ‘n’ Stuff • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts • 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice • 2 tbsp. water • 2 tsp. olive oil or vegetable oil • 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs • 3 tbsp. dried parsley or 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley • 2 tsp. dried tarragon • 1 tsp. finely grated fresh lemon peel • 2 tbsp. oil for cooking In a shallow dish or pie plate, combine the lemon juice, water and two teaspoons of olive or vegetable oil. In a large dinner plate or pie plate, combine the bread crumbs, parsley, tarragon and grated lemon peel. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-

high heat and add the two tablespoons of cooking oil. Dip both sides of each chicken breast first in the lemon juice mixture, then in the crumb mixture. Press the crumbs on to the chicken so that they stick. Place the chicken pieces in the heated pan and cook on medium-high for two to three minutes per side until they just start to brown. Turn the heat to low, and cook the chicken for 12-15 minutes, turning it occasionally. When the chicken is done, it will read 165 F (74 C) on a meat thermometer and the juices will run clear when the tip of a sharp knife is poked into the thickest part of each piece. Serves 4.

Volunteers sought for community tree planting Eddie Rwema Eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news – About 450 trees will be planted on Sawmill Creek in Heron Park and residents are being urged to come up in big to help out. City Stream Watch will be partnering with the Rideau Valley Conservation Foundation to plant native shrubs along the stream. A community tree-planting event is planned for April 22, and organizers said the event is a chance for members of the community to get involved in making the city more beautiful and healthy. Part of the goal of involving the community is to raise awareness for the important of streams to the city and to the communities in which they flow,” said Chelsey Ellis, City Stream Watch co-ordinator. Sawmill Creek is approximately 10-kilometres long and flows north through South Keys and Heron Park before joining the Rideau River at Billings Bridge. According to Ellis, planting native shrubs and tress along tributaries create an effective buffer along the streams, filter contaminants, slow stormwater runoff and provide a greater diversity of habitat for fish and other wildlife. “The more we have people out, the more people … can see the streams and also take

Chelsey Ellis,City Stream Watch co-ordinator hopes a lot of people will show up for community tree planting. ownership for those streams,” said Ellis. She said the Sawmill Creek stream is one of the very urban creeks in Ottawa, and as an urban watershed, a lot of garbage tends to collect along the

banks and in the stream itself which can harm the important fish and wildlife habitat along the creek. “Some areas have good buffers of trees and shrubs but of course the more urban ones

are in need of more help,” she said. “Some areas are more neglected than others.” Ellis reached out to surrounding community to come participate in tree planting as

well as doing garbage cleanup as part of the Earth Day event that falls on the same day. “We really need volunteers because we have lots of trees to plant,” she said. “Once you have been out

there and you have planted tress you feel a connection to that stream and to your community.” All necessary training, equipment and supervision will be provided on-site and there is no cost to volunteers. Last year, 220 participated in the community tree planting spending 1,575 hours. “We have a lot of volunteer participation and people really enjoy the events and the day,” said Ellis. James McLaren, president of the Heron Park Community Association, said members of his community have been participating in the event for a number of years. “It is part of our commitment as a community,” said McLaren. He added that the community takes pride in having the stream in their neighbourhood. “It is a unique element that we have and we take a lot of pride in keeping it clean,” he said. Planting is also planned at other tributaries in Ottawa. Steven’s Creek on April 28, Nepean Creek and Bilberry Creek on May 5. Interested volunteers are asked to sign up and receive further information by contacting Chelsey Ellis at citystreamwatch@rvca.ca or by calling 613-692-3571 ext. 1180.

Calamity on the dance floor Aunt Bertha said she hoped there would be enough food, because it looked like everyone in the entire Northcote area had shown up. Since the ground was still soft, chairs weren’t brought out of the church, but planks had been placed on blocks all around the make-shift dance floor, and they were filling up quickly. Mother ordered us five kids to sit and behave ourselves. “No rippin’ around the yard,” she ordered. Lanterns placed on posts around the make-shift dance floor, to be lit when it got too dark for the fiddlers. We barely got seated when someone designated himself caller and jumped up on the plank bench closest to the floor and called out “Partners for a square.” Well, such confusion! There was a mad dash for the floor, young blades grabbing the hands of any girl within spitting distance, including my sister Audrey. It looked to me like everyone, but the youngest of us, my three brothers, Cecil, Two Mile and Three Mile Herman were heading for the dance floor. The caller had to order one set off, which still left three sets vying for the small space. There was much hand clapping and foot stomping. Finally the caller and the music got together and the

dancing began. Well, all went well until just after the first do-se-do. Each couple began the swing and they were going so fast, you could hardly see their feet moving. And that’s when, as Cecil said later, “all hell broke loose.” One couple lost their footing and went reeling off the dance floor, but not before both grabbed the shirts of the couple next in line, who in turn, grabbed hold of the couple beside them and so it went until all eight of them were piled in a heap on the ground. They went down like a row of dominos, one on top of the other. The most amazing thing to me was that the music went on as if nothing at all had happened. The other couples moved into the freed-up space and they finished the set to thunderous applause. My sister Audrey was not

one of the dancers to go sailing off the floor, for which I was very grateful. But Emerson and Cecil got into such a laughing fit I thought they were going to be sick. Emerson, when he finally got control of himself, said he could see Big Clara’s flowerbag bloomers when she went rolling off the dance floor, which earned him a swift box on the ears from Mother. It was the first dance of the season, but it wouldn’t be the last. From then on, the caller announced before he started the dance that there was only room for two sets at a time. Since there would be no more calamities from an overcrowded floor, Emerson and Cecil had to find their amusement somewhere else. Like the time they put a frog in the lemonade jug at the church picnic. But that’s another story.

City Councillor, Kanata North WARD COUNCIL MONDAY APRIL 23RD

There’s a lot to report to you at Ward Council on Monday, 7-9 pm in the Program Room at the Kanata Senior’s Centre. I will give an update on the construction and fundraising for the Richcraft Recreation Complex, Kanata, on zoning applications for 2 The Parkway and 1023 Teron Rd., on variances for the retail site on Terry Fox just north of Kanata Ave., on zoning for the outlet mall on Huntmar, on the Arcadia subdivision and on the start of the review of the City’s Official Plan and Master Transportation Plan. I’ll also report on developments presently underway, as well as traffic issues, recent City Council decisions on taxis, the union contract for OC Transpo, changes to the Light Rail Station and infill housing. For those who missed the Environment Committee meeting last month, I’ll give an update on what the City is doing about the drainage from the Beaver Pond and Shirley’s Brook, on the Blanding Turtle Conservation Study and the Management Plan for the South March Highlands. The regular police report will also be presented. All are welcome at Ward Council Meetings. CLEANING THE CAPITAL

Remember to register your project for Cleaning the Capital by going to www.ottawa.ca/clean and order your free supplies. If we all pitch in to pick up in the community, we will keep our communities clean and beautiful. Please let me know when and where your project is taking place and I‘ll join you, if I have time in my schedule. 2 THE PARKWAY

TRANSIT UNION CONTRACT

I am pleased that an agreement has been reached with the union for a four-year contract. The settlement is in line with other municipalities, and with existing contracts at the provincial and federal levels. It is a first step in improving relationships with this union. An ongoing dialogue with front-line drivers and mechanics on key issues, such as scheduling and bus maintenance, is continuing. The City will still control actual schedules, but feedback from drivers is expected to make bus arrival times more predictable and working conditions better. NOTES OF INTEREST

Service Ontario has closed its office on Terry Fox, as they were unable to extend their lease with the property owner. Until a Kanata location can be found the office in Stittsville will be the local location for Ontario services such as driving licenses. Work will soon begin on widening Highway 417 and repairing the bridges. This is a major job that will take several years. Brigil has a sign on Steacie Dr. stating that condominiums are for sale. They have not submitted any application to the City but informed me that they plan to do so. The property is presently zoned for light industrial use. April 27 is the deadline for comments on Waste Management’s proposal to add another landfill site on Carp Road.

EMC news – With the exception of the Food Basics, most of the stores in the longstruggling Herongate Mall will be torn down starting this summer to make room for a major redevelopment that is likely to take two years. “We are knocking down the entire shopping centre except for the Food Basics,” said Philip Currie, vice president of Trinity Development Group. He said construction of the mall located near Walkley and Heron roads starts this summer and the demolition of the rest of the mall will happen sometime next summer. The redevelopment will transform the aging and deserted mall into a more attractive and vibrant neighbourhood shopping centre, said Currie. “The mall right now is very run down,” he said. Currie said he is optimistic the community will support the mall, once it is redeveloped. “We think the area will support something like this and I think the general public will appreciate what we are doing,” said Currie. He said they are helping tenants currently in the mall to relocate before the mall is torn down. “We are relocating the Sco-

Overall the redevelopment will take about two years, but Currie said it is still early to determine who the tenants of the refurbished mall will be. “The definitive final shape of the shopping centre and who is the final tenant that still to be determined,” “At this point it is all going to be market driven and will all depend on tenant interest but until it is formalized I am not sure exactly what shape it is going to take and who the tenants would be,” Trinity Development Group is working with RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust to redevelop the 200,000-square-

foot mall. There had been reports that the mall had a vacancy of 40 per cent, which was exacerbated when the 50,000square-foot Convergys facility at one end of the mall closed in 2010. Even with the aging and low occupancy, some shoppers think it is not right to have the mall torn down. “I come hear because, prices are relatively affordable at this mall,” said Bobbette Smith, a resident of Greely. “If they are just tearing it down to put up a prettier building and then increase prices of commodities then that is not going to benefit the community.” She wondered what it is mall owners are going to put in the new shopping centre that will attract more businesses that aren’t there now. “If it is doing what it is

supposed to do, why tear it down?” said Smith. Some seniors were also upset the demolition of the mall will affect their way of living. Betty Larabie walks everyday to the mall to meet and chat with fellow seniors. “I wake up at nine every day, shower and head to the mall. Now that is not going to happen again,” said Larabie. She said she doesn’t like the idea of tearing down the mall. “We like it very much and I thought it could stay longer. We are going to have nothing to do now if they tear down.” Larabie said she’s been frequenting the mall for more than 20 years now and can’t imagine life without it. “It is going to affect all the seniors. I have been coming here for more than 20 years. I think it is wrong,” she said.

Recognize a volunteer EMC news - During National Volunteer Week, April 15 to 21, the Ontario Association of Children’s Aid Societies (OACAS) and Ontario’s Children’s Aid Societies recognize the crucial role played by those community members, parents, teachers and retirees who give their time to support vulnerable children, youth, and their families. “Volunteers at Ontario’s child welfare agencies make an enormous difference to the lives of children and youth by being there for them and for their families,” said OACAS executive director Mary Ballantyne. “More than 5,600 volunteers help by being there for children and youth as tutors or special friends; by helping families by being a parent aide or support during visits; by driving children and youth to activities, appointments and visits; and by supporting the work of their local Children’s Aid by being an involved community member or board member.” As the OACAS honours and celebrates 100 years of service to child welfare in Ontario, the role of volunteers in history and today is also recognized. Up until the 1920s, much of the work of Children’s Aid

Societies was carried out by volunteers. “Volunteers have always played an integral role in caring for and supporting children, youth and families, and we really appreciate their contributions,” added Ballantyne. Today, volunteers make valuable contributions which allow agencies to provide enriched services to children, youth and their families. The stats show: • 5,608 volunteers gave their time to agencies. * More than 25 million kilometres were driven by volunteers. • Volunteers gave more than 600,000 hours of their time. Volunteers have a wide range of skills and fill roles in various capacities at agencies. Some volunteers offer skills that can be used in working directly with children and youth, others offer their expertise to provide leadership and guidance to their local Children’s Aid Society as members of the board of directors, working with the administrators of the agency.

EnviroCentre is encouraging people to bike to work during the month of May.

Bike to Work Month wants you on wheels Website can help log your efforts Mike Buckthought

May is Bike to Work Month in Ottawa, and EnviroCentre is collaborating with workplaces across the region to encourage people to cycle to work. EnviroCentre is offering an updated information kit, four kinds of workshops, cycling safety videos, and a chance to win great prizes, simply by pledging to bike. Last year, 861 people pledged to cycle to work, covering a total distance of 759,040 kilometres. Participants reduced greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 191 tonnes by biking instead of using motorized modes of transport. The 2012 edition of Bike to Work Month promises to encourage even more people. Among many new website features, individuals and workplaces can now log daily trips and track new statistics like money saved. A community events calendar available year round, welcomes itself as a social hub for postings from anyone in the cycling community. EnviroCentre is also encouraging people to develop their confidence with cycling skills. The organization has teamed up with City Wide Sports to offer 60-minute workshops geared for a range of skill levels. Training will be offered at workplaces for modest fee. Options inetona PlaCe clude lunchtime presentations on commuter cycling or bike maintenance, as well as hands-on cycling workshops with practice sessions in parking lots and on city roads. EnviroCentre is actively collaborating with 65 workplaces representing over 50,000 employees. Posters, slideshows, videos and email campaigns will reach a broad audience

â&#x20AC;&#x201C; encouraging many people to try commuting by bicycle. For a sample, visit www.biketoworkottawa.com/intersections which features several videos on cycling safety. The videos demonstrate essential habits and skills for navigating intersections, as well as how to interact with the City of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upcoming new road symbols, designed to help drivers and cyclists share the road. Cycling to work provides many health and environmental benefits. It also increases the productivity of employees, and reduces rates of sickness-related absences. It is a key way to reduce our communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emissions of globalwarming greenhouse gases. If you live in Kanata, Barrhaven, or Orleans, EnviroCentre brings an inclusive message by offering free presentations open to the public. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many Ottawa residents live and work outside the Greenbelt, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to reach people in their neighbourhoods and help them become commuter cyclistsâ&#x20AC;?, says Jessica Wells, EnviroCentreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programs co-ordinator for sustainable transportation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cycling is a convenient, fun, healthy and cost-effective way to travel. Small steps can have a significant impact to reduce transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions, road congestion, plus noise and air pollution.â&#x20AC;?

Nepean Allotment Gardens garden grows The Nepean Allotment Gardens Association announces they will expand by 15 plots Jennifer McIntosh

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland. com

EMC news – The Nepean Allotment Gardens (NAGA) on Viewmount Drive have outgrown their home. The association that manages the gardens announced at their annual general meeting on April 11 that they will expand by taking up the land between the existing gardens and the nearby fire station. The complex has about 240 plots, divided between 150 annuals (six by nine metres) and 90 perennials (about five by six metres). They are all rented out every year. Association president Mike Cheebo said the proposal to the city to use the land was sent in January. He also applied for the city’s community gardening fund – which is used for new guardens or to expand existing ones. The gardens received $9,000, which will pay for the soil tests and the infrastructure. “There will be one water tap for every four plots,” Cheebo said. It’s likely the extra space

will allow for 15 more plots, something that will help ease the waiting list, which Cheebo said is at 130 names. “I think some of the oldest names have been on the waiting list for three years,” he said. He said he expects to hire contractors to start the work this spring and summer with the plots ready to go for the next gardening season. The allotment garden program was run by the City of Ottawa up to 1991, when the founders of  NAGA made a proposal to the city to take it over and administer its operation. “We get some support from the city, such as water, plowing, garbage pickup,” Chebbo said. “But most of the maintenance work is done by members and volunteers.” The gardens operate on a shoestring budget of $5,000 per year thanks in large part to the work of the volunteers. Chebbo said most of the gardeners are repeat customers, but there is some turnover as people move away from Nepean. NAGA’s mission is to grow plants and vegetables without using pesticides and herbicides, and to recycle all debris by proper composting. Chebbo said very little garbage is produced weekly.

Canadian Diabetes Association thanks volunteers for passion Special to the Kourier-Standard

EMC news - The Canadian Diabetes Association is celebrating its volunteers who generously donate their time and energy in supporting us to lead the fight against diabetes by helping people with diabetes live healthy lives while we work to find a cure. “I became a volunteer because I’ve lost many family

members to diabetes, which also puts me at risk.  I’ve been trained to educate the public about the seriousness of the disease and share this information through health fairs as a speaker.  I’ve met many likeminded people with a passion for a common purpose—giving back to the community in a meaningful way,” says Gillian Musaib-Ali, volunteer

for the Canadian Diabetes Association. The thanks come during National Volunteer Week, April 15 to 21. Ross Hirning was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 1994 and has been volunteering with the association since 2004. “Everyone should volunteer for a cause or an organiza-

tion that is important to them if they can,” says Hirning. “I believe that informing people about diabetes is critical to the future good health of Canadians and the best way for me to do that is by volunteering with the Canadian Diabetes Association.” Thanks to the significant effort and commitment of our volunteers, last year the

Canadian Diabetes Association was able to provide more than 1,870 educational events reaching over 280,000 people across the country. “We are grateful for the time and expertise our volunteers share with us and the communities they serve,” says Michael Cloutier, president and CEO of the Canadian Diabetes Association. “Everything we do relies

on their work and they make a significant impact in the lives of the more than nine million Canadians living with diabetes or prediabetes.” Visit diabetes.ca/volunteer to learn more about becoming a volunteer, completing an online volunteer application form and for other ways you can help support people living with diabetes or prediabetes.

Residents to see Rideau St. reconstruction plans LED streetlights a first for Ottawa Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Lowertown and Sandy Hill residents will have a chance to see how the reconstruction of Rideau Street over the next two years will affect them at an upcoming open house. The finalized plans for Rideau Street between Dalhousie and Chapel streets will be shown at Le Patro Community Centre (located at 40 Cobourg St.) from 6 to 8 p.m. on April 26. That portion of the street will be reconstructed this summer starting in July, but the meeting will also include information about preliminary designs for next year’s construction phase of Rideau Street from Chapel to the Cummings Bridge. The plan for the street is to make it more consistent, said Coun. Mathieu Fleury. Right now, the width of traffic lanes and sidewalks varies along the street and a random scattering of light fixtures, planters and fire hydrants turns the sidewalk into a maze that slows down crowds of pedestrians. LESS CLUTTER

When the street is rebuilt, most of the sidewalks will be in the 3.5-metre wide range, which is largely consistent with what’s there now, said Randy Dempsey, transportation engineer for the project. The eastbound right-turn lane at Cumberland will be removed and turned into additional sidewalk space and the

hydro wires on the south side of Rideau between King Edward and Wurtemburg will be buried. The number of trees along Rideau will stay about the same, Dempsey said. But Fleury insisted the sidewalks, while not physically wider in many spots, will still offer more usable space for pedestrians because of better organization of “street furniture” such as granite block benches, garbage cans and street lights. “It is (an improvement). People are looking at the width of the curbside to the wall,” Fleury said. “But I think based on the burial of the wires and the assembly of the street furniture, the useable space is better. In spots you have wider sidewalks and in spots you don’t. “But what you do is you gain because of the removal of the planters and … better organized of street furniture. It will make better, logical sense and it will be more enjoyable to walk along Rideau Street.” Sidewalks will get wider over time as properties along Rideau are redeveloped and the city can reclaim its road allowance to be used as sidewalk, Fleury said, similar to what’s happened at the Shopper’s Drug Mart and condos being built along the street. Walkers will also benefit from clearly marked pedestrian crossings and sidewalk “bulb outs” at most of the intersections east of King Edward Avenue to shorten crossing distances.

LED STREETLAMPS AND FULL SHARROW LANE

The street lights themselves are an experiment for Ottawa, Dempsey said. The city will be installing LED streetlights that emit a whiter light, making it easier to view and identify faces. That’s something Ottawa police are in favour of in the area, he added. March Aubin, president of the Lowertown community association, said he’d like to see the heritage-look street lamps re-used in addition to the new lights. “If you start pulling out those lights, you start to lose that theme,” he said. “it’s one of the most historic streets in the city … to take out the heritage lights, you’re throwing that away.” Fleury’s assistant Mat Genest said they are looking for options to include the heritage streetlights in other areas in the ByWard Market, such as the new William Street mall, or the Besserer Park, which is scheduled to get a more permanent bike and pedestrian path where there is currently a worn in dirt cut-through. Also for cyclists, there will be a marked “sharrow” lane with arrow markings in a wide lane along the length of Rideau to indicate the space should be shared between vehicles and bicycles. The sharrow lane will be the outside curb lane, but Dempsey said it’s not yet finalized whether the arrow markings will be along the curb or on the left side of the bus lane, between

Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury, right, and his assistant Mat Genest review plans for the reconstruction of Rideau Street. buses and cars. That last configuration might make more sense, because it would reduce the need for cyclists to weave through bus traffic, as buses frequently stop in that lane. That would be an improvement, Fleury said, because it would show consistent markings for where cyclists should travel. Right now, there are occasional markings indicating that vehicles and bikes should share the centre travel lane. Another cycling win will be the introduction of a southbound counter-flow bike lane on Cumberland Street to give

cyclists a route to leave the ByWard Market and get to Sandy Hill. Another challenge was the request from a few community members to remove the eastbound left turning lane onto Nelson Street. It simply couldn’t be done from a transportation engineering perspective due to potential backups at King Edward, Dempsey said.

Aubin wasn’t happy with that explanation, saying that the city seems to come up with any excuse to prioritize cars over pedestrians. “To say it’s going to be better for pedestrian safety is really a stretch,” he said. “You have to ask yourself what the city is trying to accomplish. I think in this case they need to push the envelope a little bit more.”

EMC news - The Ottawa East Community Association has supported a plan that would see a portion of the Oblate lands acquired for affordable seniors housing. Michael Oster, president of Ottawa Community Loan Fund, is working on a proposal to acquire a portion of the Main Street property and presented the early stages of his proposal to the association on April 10. “One of the provisions in

our community design plan was the desire to have more affordable housing in the area,” said John Dance, president of the association. “This is a very good first step in trying to make it happen and the association is going to support the process.” Oster said he was pleased with the association’s support for his proposal. With the city’s community housing priorities in mind, Oster said he hopes to secure the land by appealing to the religious order’s desire to see

development which preserves and extends their legacy and adds social improvements to the community. He is working towards a

plan that would see 10 to 20 per cent of any potential development on the lands be dedicated to affordable senior housing.

After a city review that revealed more than $18 million in upgrades were identified for the Potvin Arena in Shefford Park, the city will be looking for a private partner to top up its $4.3 million in funding in order to build and run and more comprehensive sportsplex.

City seeking business to help expand Potvin Arena Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - The “havenot” east end is poised to get a big, shiny new athletic facility and new rinks thanks to a potential private partnership. The city set aside about $4.3 million to renovate the Potvin Arena in Shefford Park at 813 Shefford Rd. But after discussions between community members, Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney and city staff, it became clear that the types of upgrades needed would cost a minimum of $18 million, and building everything the community felt was needed would run around $28 million. That’s money the city doesn’t have, so the city’s finance committee approved a plan to seek a business partner who is willing to pay the rest of the cost to build the facility, then operate and maintain it. While Tierney said some

people see public-private partnerships, or P3s, as less than ideal, it makes sense to find a private partner for this project. The facility will fill a muchneeded void in ice time in the city’s east end, said Tierney, who is also a hockey coach for his children’s teams. Tierney said the Gloucester Centre Minor Hockey Association alone has 225 teams, Tierney said, and each of those teams needs to find 20 chunks of ice time throughout a season. “They’re scrambling,” he said. The site is ideally located to become a draw to bring people into the east end, Tierney said. It is easy to access because it’s close to the highway. But even more significant is the strong business case to expand the arena, due to the draw the facility will have because it will fulfill a need for

ice and sports facilities in the east end, Tierney said. “The east has always been left out,” Tierney said. “It will absolutely be used – no doubt.” If the city brings in a private business partner to build and run the facility, the city would have a negotiated rate for ice time to ensure it will be affordable for families. “We want to make sure it’s a viable solution,” Tierney said. “It’s all about the kids.” Details of what would actually be built at the facility won’t be available until companies respond to a request for proposals, when they will describe what could be done with the facility. Tierney said the project will include more parking and traffic fixes to redirect vehicles through the nearby business park. Tierney said it would be a “dream come true” to get four new ice pads at Shefford

Park. Construction could happen in 2013 if a suitable partner is found, Tierney said. While it would be ideal to build a rec complex as a completely city-owned and -run facility, Tierney said P3s are becoming more common and are an excellent way to deliver services the community needs, but that the city can’t afford. Ottawa has learned a lot of the failed P3 that led to building the Ray Friel Recreation Complex in Orleans. A private partner built that facility, but when the company couldn’t afford to run it, the city had to take it over. Since then, the city has successfully partnered to build the Bell Sensplex in Kanata and the Cavanaugh Sportsplex in Kinburn, Tierney said. “There is a lot of merit in P3s,” he said. “It’s becoming more common.”

Feds cut Katimavik volunteer program Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news – After finding out 88 per cent of their funding has been cut, Katimavik said it will continue to offer Canadian youth volunteering opportunities but on a much smaller scale. On March 30 the Harper government announced in their budget that programming for the 34 year-old orga-

nization would be cut. Since then, Katimavik spokesperson Victoria Salvador said the organization has been working at securing support and small scale funding to continue with more localized programming. “It is going to be much, much, much smaller,” Salvador said. The goal is to not give up on a program that has helped more than 600 volunteers this

year alone, Salvador added. “We will never be able to fill the huge gap the federal government has left us with but we are looking at finding stable funding in other capacities,” Salvador said. The plan is to reach out to local business partners, provinces and municipal communities in hopes they will be able to lock in enough money to continue offering programs.

But the 600 volunteers who were ready to start in July will not be able to take part. “We are not actively recruiting and the program we had will not be the same,” Salvador said. Janice Messam, co-ordinator at Sivummut preschool in Vanier, said the Katimavik volunteers allow her staff to focus on the children. In the wake of the funding cut, Messam said the centre is going to have to work much harder to recruit volunteers. “It is not that we won’t have volunteers, there just won’t be the consistency we have had,” she said. But all may not be lost for eager volunteers. On April 10 Harper announced funding for eight projects for young Canadians, including activities aimed at strengthening their connection to Canada. The program is worth $26 million.

Missing money at Rockcliffe Park school Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news – Police are investigating after the school council at Rockcliffe Park Public School reported more than $70,000 missing from its bank account, posing a threat to a number of programs The problem is particularly acute for an after-school daycare program which will cease operating unless it receives payment by April 20. “I think it is fair to say no one ever thought we would be in this position,” said Julie Vanderschot, a council member. The school gym was standing room only on April 10 for the school council meeting as the news of the missing funds left parents both shocked and angered. The council is responsible for money generated by a number of programs for students at the school, including milk and a pizza lunch program. The money helps fund things such as school trips and the after-school homework club.

The missing funds were brought to light when Bettye Hyde, the provider of the after-school daycare program, notified parents the program had not been paid since December 2011 and the council had an outstanding balance of $35,000. “We were operating on trust,” said Elise Zarkadas, the current council president. “There has never been an issue (with the bank account) until now. Multiple issues were popping up, but explanations were provided which all made sense at the time.” Bettye Hyde’s volunteer registrar Charlotte Masemann said some financial problems began as early as July 2011, when a payment was late. According to Masemann, repeated attempts in early February were made to solve the issue by the director of the daycare program and the council, including requesting payments from school council treasurer Mark MacDonald, which went ignored. Zarkadas said the council’s board of directors noticed ir-

regularities as early as February, when it was notified by a pizza supplier that payment had not been made. Zarkadas said after contacting MacDonald, who was away on a business trip, the matter was soon cleared. Police were contacted in early March by the council, but investigators did not feel there was enough evidence to look into the matter further. A special council board meeting was subsequently held in March to discuss the daycare’s payment issues. MacDonald was invited, but did not attend. He has since been relieved of a position he has held since 2006. It was in late March that police were contacted a second time by the council and an investigation was initiated. Prior to the discovery of the missing funds, the council admitted to not requesting monthly financial reports at their meetings and no one on the council could recall its books being audited in the past 20 years. There were also no details on which board

members had signing authority for the account. All these issues have since been addressed, the board told parents, at a meeting on April 5. Now two members, Zarkadas and Vanderschot, must both sign any financial transactions and monthly financial statements will be presented to the council. To solve the immediate shortfall, the council is considering a range of options, including filing for bankruptcy, taking an interest-free loan from the school board and borrowing money from other funds, such as the book fair account.

A decision will be made on addressing the shortfall by April 13.

The police investigation is ongoing and no charges have been laid.

With this ring I thee wed... and generate 20 tons of waste Advertorial

Kanata gets a chance to go green by recycling their old gold at the Hazeldean Mall next week No one wants a guilty conscience on their wedding day, but most people are unaware that the production of a single gold wedding band creates at least twenty tons of waste and thirteen pounds of toxic emissions. That's right, that gleaming ring on your finger is not the result of the hard day's work of a bearded old prospector panning for gold, but the product of toxic chemistry. Because most of the world's large gold veins have been tapped out, miners are now resorting to chemical processes to leech small amounts of gold out of the earth. Large, open pit mines are created by blasting out the earth. The extracted ore is pulverized and then treated with a toxic chemical solution to separate the gold from the rock. Irresponsible mining practices in developing countries make this process extremely dangerous to the environment. Some of the largest mine sites move over half a million tons of earth per day, leaving scars on the earth that can be seen from space. Waste laced with thousands of tons of cyanide is being dumped into rivers and oceans. Yes, you read that correctly- cyanide, the same poison used for the mass murder of millions in the gas chambers during the holocaust. In 2000, a spill of 100,000 tons of toxic

waste from a gold mine in Romania cut off water supply to 2.5 million people and killed nearly every single fish in the surrounding area. But these accidents aren't just occurring in developing countries; in 2008 metal mining was the number one toxic polluter in the United States accounting for over 80% of arsenic, mercury and lead releases. The good news? Gold has an amazing propensity for recycling.

“

Most people are amazed at how much the gold that has been gathering dust in their jewellery box is actually worth. -Elli Reilander, The Gold Recyclers

"Old gold can be melted down, refined, and brought back into the market as new jewellery or even computer parts" says Elli Reilander, a gold-recycling representative for The Gold Recyclers- a family-run company bringing their services to malls all across Canada. "Recycling your old gold jewellery is a great way to do your part for the environment and make some extra cash while the price of gold is so high," says Reilander, "Most people are amazed

Some good items to recycle are broken chains, single earrings, pendants, damaged rings, items with missing stones and anything that you simply don’t wear anymore.

at how much the gold that has been gathering dust in their jewellery box is actually worth!" Gold recycling is not a new thing. In fact, The Gold Recyclers, who are based out of Sidney, B.C, have been in the gold-buying business for over 20 years. "It is only in the past year and a half, when the value of gold really started climbing, that we've been able to take to the road." says Reilander, "People are starting to view their old gold jewellery as an investment that they can sell when the time is right." The timing couldn't be better for The Gold Recyclers' 5 day gold-buying

event at the Hazeldean Mall here in Kanata. Those who want to take advantage of the high price of gold and do their part for the environment are encouraged to come down to the Hazeldean Mall on the corner of Hazeldean and Eagleson next Thursday through Monday (April 26th-30th), where The Gold Recyclers will be buying gold at their kiosk in front of “The Source”. Bring your broken or unused old gold necklaces, earrings, pendants, bracelets, rings and even dental gold. Their professional and experienced staff will sort your

gold by karat using a chemical assay, weigh it out, and give you an estimate based on the day's top market value of gold. If you are satisfied with your quote, they will write you a cheque on the spot. No appointments are necessary, just walk in with your old gold and leave richer. So, avoid a guilty conscience and recycle your gold. Who knows? Someday your old gold might be slipped onto someone's ring finger as a brand new wedding band, while their fiancée vows, "With this ring I thee wed... and save our earth from twenty tons of waste".

Couple makes life changes for environment michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - As Earth Day draws near, those who are looking to make small changes to make their lives more sustainable can draw inspiration from a Cardinal Glen couple. Hugh and Jo-Ann Robertson have always been environmentally conscious and said action is better than reaction when it comes to creating a cleaner, greener future. “Once you pass the critical point of climate crisis, you can’t go back,” said Hugh. “Legislation, incentives, punitive persuasion all take time for people to agree with and in some cases are not working at all, in which case you have to rely on the bottom up approach.” The Robertsons’ home stands out from the other townhomes on their street. A large blue iron gate in front of the entrance catches the eye immediately, used to provide security at night, but allow cool air into the house at the same time.

Inside the home, there are a number of things the couple have made to reduce their energy consumption. A wooden clothes rack hangs between a wall and the staircase, positioned to catch the afternoon sun and dry clothes much more efficiently then any dryer could, Jo-Ann said. Meanwhile a woodstove in the living room makes the room cozy and incredible warm in the winter, said Hugh. The couple bought the townhome when it was brand new 22 years ago, but over time Hugh said the couple wanted to save more energy than the original home would allow. “We started making small alterations to the home, insulation and water heaters, changing the windows,” Robertson said. Starting four years ago with an energy audit, the couple identified changes such as new insulation, appliances and improved air circulation to make the home more energy efficient.

The cost has been significant at around $30,000, but Hugh said the changes have more than paid for themselves. As people who have always been environmentally conscious – since the days of wrapping their children in cloth diapers – the Robertsons have long felt it is a duty to do their part for the environment. “I think judging everyone and trying to force change is not going to work. I think we just need to set a good example.” Robertson said. “Lead by example, isn’t that what people say?” As part of that leadership, the couple says others can make smaller, less costly changes that can have a significant impact, too. “Cooking from scratch, being conscious of what you put in the garbage, sorting your recycling, hanging your laundry to dry – all these things are not that hard and do make a difference,” Jo-Ann said. All things that help the planet and put money back in your wallet, Hugh added.

said Coun. Stephen Blais. “By reducing commute times, Orleans and Cumberland residents will be able to spend more time with their families instead of idling in congestion.” The assessment will also examine an additional coverage area, past Trim Road, and the possibility of an interchange at Trim Road and Highway 174. “Every dollar invested in this highway infrastructure represents not only creation of jobs in this economy, but a better quality of life for citizens, particularly in the east end,” said Chiarelli. Ottawa-Orleans MPP Phil McNeely said that the highway is currently the only route to work for many living in Alfred, Cumberland, Rockland and Orleans. “So I’m pleased that this environmental assessment includes this important section of Ottawa,” he said. “As with all environmental assessments this will consider all options and have to consider future transportation facilities, probably including the bridge from Quebec eventually and an extension of the light rail from Blair to Trim.” The study is expected to take two years to complete.

Province OKs study to expand section of Hwy. 417

R0011357583

RE-OPENING FOR SPRING

NEWS

EMC news - The province announced it will fund an additional study area for the Highway 174 widening to the tune of $1 million. Ontario will help the city expand the study to include the widening of the road from two to four lanes between Trim Road and Rockland. “This is the right decision,” said Grant Crack, MPP for Glengarry-Prescott-Russell. “It will make the commute easier and safer, and ease congestion.” Commuters east of Trim Road face one of the worst downtown commutes, both long and unpredictable. “This will be a tremendous improvement for the people,” said Minister of Infrastructure and Minister of Transportation Bob Chiarelli. The city had approved an environmental assessment to widen Highway 174 last year, which the province was already contributing $5 million towards. However, that study only looked at the lanes between the split and Trim Road, expanding to six lanes from four. “Today’s announcement will accelerate that work,”

Gonchar relishes playoff run with Senators By Rob Brodie OttawaSenators.com This is why Sergei Gonchar came to Ottawa. For the veteran blueliner, it is all about the Stanley Cup playoffs and the opportunity to chase after the most treasured prize in the game. And that opportunity with his current team has ﬁnally arrived with the Senators’ current matchup with the New York Rangers in the Eastern Conference quarter-ﬁnals. “Playoffs is always exciting,” said the 37-yearold native of Chelyabinsk, Russia. “You have a chance to compete for the Stanley Cup, which is probably the highest prize in the world. Playing in the best league, you have a chance to compete for it and it’s special. We’re going to have all (our) fans behind us, so it’s going to be something.” It is the “something” that Gonchar had in mind when he signed a three-year contract with the Senators as a free agent two summers ago. In the spring of 2010, his Pittsburgh Penguins survived a hard-fought Defenceman Sergei Gonchar, a veteran of three Stanley Cup finals and a champion in opening-round series 2009, welcomes his first opportunity to skate in the Stanley Cup playoffs with the Ottawa against the Senators — it Senators (Photo by Eliot J. Schechter/NHLI via Getty Images). went six games, including a triple-overtime win by pieces short of being a true Ottawa in Game 5 — and Stanley Cup contender. But Gonchar hardly Gonchar saw an opponent He felt he could be one of imagined the free fall the he believed was just a few those pieces. Senators would undergo

last season. Their playoffs hopes were dead by January and within the next month, half a dozen veterans were unloaded, signalling the start of a rebuild for the future. The Stanley Cup playoffs seemed to be little more than a pipe dream this season. No wonder, then, that Gonchar talks with such enthusiasm about getting his 12th chance to chase hockey’s Holy Grail. He’s played in three Cup ﬁnals, winning it all with the Penguins in 2009. And while facing the Eastern Conference’s top seed is daunting — with 109 points, the Blueshirts were 17 better than the eighth-place Senators in the standings — the opportunity is still there to weave some post-season magic. “It’s a huge difference,” Gonchar said of the Senators’ surprising rebound season. “Last year, I signed (in Ottawa) and I didn’t expect to have what we had. But the good thing is, it’s behind us and now I’m looking forward to the playoffs. We’ve been much better this year and I’m looking forward to the playoffs and I’m hoping it’s going to be even better there.”

carrying little in the way of expectations — most pre-season predictions had them ﬁnishing at or near the bottom of the conference — Gonchar said the team didn’t see it that way.

While entered

“(MacLean) is a big part of it,” said Gonchar. “He changed the system, he changed the attitude in the locker room, so I think he’s a really big part of it. If you look at it, he had been with an organization (the Detroit Red Wings, as an assistant coach) that has been successful. It was an organization that had won a few times with him (there).

UPCOMING SENATORS GAMES

NEW YORK RANGERS Monday, April 23, Time TBD, CBC Playoff excitement is back at Scotiabank Place for the first time in two years, with the Senators facing off against the New York Rangers in a bestof-seven Eastern Conference quarter-final series. It’s the first time the two teams have ever met in the Stanley Cup playoffs in modern franchise history. The leaders: Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson is the greatest player in modern franchise history and the team’s unquestioned leader, while Ryan Callahan’s hardnosed style makes him a gritty captain for the Blueshirts. Up front: Keep your eyes on the Blueshirts’ Marian Gaborik and Brad Richards, a former Conn Smythe Trophy winner as playoff MVP. With 84 points, the Senators’ Jason

Spezza ranked fourth in league scoring, while Milan Michalek notched a career-best 35 goals. On the blue line: It’s the unstoppable force vs. the immovable object, as the Senators’ Erik Karlsson, who topped all NHL defencemen with 78 points this season, tries to navigate the wall put up by Dan Girardi, one of the league’s most effective shot blockers.

“When you’re playing in the NHL, you have 20 guys that make each other pretty competitive,” he said. “We all want to prove something. When you have a season like we had last year, you want to come back and you want to be better. You want to prove it, not only to the people on the outside, but to yourselves as a group, that we can be better.” When Senators head coach Paul MacLean talks about the veteran core he relied so heavily upon in building this team, he includes Gonchar among that group. He’s been a willing mentor to such young blueliners as Erik Karlsson and Jared Cowen, while contributing 37 points (5-32) to the Ottawa attack. But Gonchar, in turn, is quick to credit the man behind the bench with being perhaps the biggest reason why the Senators ﬁnd themselves where they are today.

“Having that experience and being there gives you the ability to change things. You know what you need to do, you know how it’s supposed to be done and I think he’s done it. He’s a very big part of (our success).” R0011356539_0419

Carleton students unveil hybrid racer Michelle Nash

Developing the project into a fully-functioning race car involved securing funding of almost $20,000 and building a hybrid gas-electric engine from the ground up. “The biggest obstacle was getting the electric engines to work,” said Lemon. The lithium powered electric engines can run simultaneously or independently of the internal combustion side, depending on what type of turn their car will be making at the competition. Lemon said this is to maximize the vehicle’s potential. The team’s goal is to eventually make the car’s power plant an entirely electric design. During the project, each student was assigned different jobs to help design and build the car. Lemon said it got really exciting when they began to bring all the different pieces together to create the finished product. The Formula Hybrid com-

EMC news - Mechanical and aerospace engineering students from Carleton University are preparing to participate for the first time in an international hybrid car race competition in New Hampshire. Carleton’s formula hybrid project has existed since 2006, offered fourth-year engineering students the opportunity to design and build a race car, but this year is the first time the Ravens Racing hybrid will compete at the Formula Hybrid International Competition at New Hampshire Motor Speedway from April 20 to May 3. In anticipation of the competition, project members took the opportunity to unveil the car to the public on April 11. “I am really proud of all of us,” said Candace Lemon, student project manager “To watch how well all the parts and groups came together is really great.”

petition is organized by the Society of Automotive Engineers and challenges university students to design and build high performance vehicles. These hybrid race cars must sufficiently combine the efficiency of electric and gasoline power. To meet the competition standards, each student was required to work on a number of different engineering aspects of the race car. Starting with a simple frame at the beginning of the school year, the students enlisted the help of architectural students to design the aerodynamic body. Carleton president Roseann O’Reilly Runte had a chance to try out the new race car at the unveiling. She noted all the long hours and dedication the students had put into the project. “This is a proud moment for Carleton,” O’Reilly Runte said.

EMC news - Students and staff at Brookfield High School used pedal power to raise $8,245 for children with cancer. 21 teams each made of six people participated in the Inside Ride event at the school’s gymnasium on April 11, with riders pedaling on stationary bikes to help raise funds to support efforts to find a cure for childhood cancers. The Inside Ride is a fundraising event dedicated to raising funds to support children and their families living with and beyond childhood cancer. Grade 12 student Justin Chapados helped organize the event and was excited by how much they had been able to raise. “I am glad we were able to beat last year’s total which was just more than $8,000” said Chapados. Teams of six were put to-

The teams dressed in crazy costumes that brought spirit and excitement to the day while remembering all of those families and youths touched by cancer. “It is not about getting the most mileage; all we were doing was having fun, at the same time supporting a good cause,” said Chapados. Many schools position this event as their lead fundraiser for that school term. It is so far the largest fundraiser event at Brookfield. “It is such a good event and we need to keep it going at Brookfield,” said Chapados. According to statistics, cancer is the number one disease killing children from six months through to young adulthood and the leading cause of non-accidental death in children. “If there is something we can do to help fund research

East communities cleaning the capital Associations asking residents to gather as much winter garbage debris as possible Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC community - Residents in a number of central Ottawa communities are getting ready to roll up their sleeves and grabbing a garbage bag to help clean up their neighbourhoods as part of spring edition of the Cleaning the Capital Campaign. A number of spring cleanups will be taking place this month in the upcoming weekends. Communities like Sandy Hill, Overbrook, Rockcliffe Park, New Edinburgh and Old Ottawa East, are calling on residents to help gather as much winter garbage debris as possible as part of the city-sponsored campaign. Sandy Hill cleanup organizer Claire MacDonald is hoping a change in strategy by Action Sandy Hill this year will help encourage more people to participate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year we are going to go at the campaign a creative way,â&#x20AC;? MacDonald said, explaining the cleanup, which typically takes place in Strathcona Park, will be expanded to tackle the neighbourhood streets, including cleaning flower boxes in front of Laurier Street stores. A local Scout

troop will also be helping out with the May 5 event, MacDonald confirmed. The Rockcliffe Park Residents Association, the Overbrook Community Association, Ottawa East Community Association and New Edinburgh Community Alliance will be participating this April as well. The Old Ottawa East cleanup will take place on April 21, Rockcliffe Park will be cleaning up on April 22 and Overbrook is participating in the campaign on April 28. New Edinburgh will be cleaning on May 12. Old Ottawa South were out early this year, performing the neighbourhood cleanup on March 28. Leslie Vanclief, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program manager for the spring cleanup, said the numbers of participants in the campaign has continued to grow with each passing year. Approximately 10 per cent of residents participated in campaigns last year, according to the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We always hear from our residents they want to help keeping Ottawa beautiful and green and we are very happy to help with these community-based initiatives,â&#x20AC;? Vanclief said. The city provides supplies

to groups that wish to participate in the campaign, which has attracted 26 sponsors. Garbage bags and other basic supplies are provided by the city, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea to bring a pair of work gloves and a bottle of water or two. Outside of the spring cleaning campaign, Vanclief said community groups can contact the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public works department for cleaning supplies. In Vanier, a Beautification Vanier has adopted parks and taken an active role in removing graffiti yearround. Group member Elise Robertson had never tried tackling the problem until she tried out one of the graffiti removal kits the city provides. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is so satisfying and easy,â&#x20AC;? Robertson said after using the kit. Last yeat more than 86,000 community volunteers joined in to keep Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parks, roadways and green spaces clean, green, graffiti and litter-free. For more information about the cleaning campaign or to request cleaning, Vanclief encourages residents to go to their ottawa.ca website.

Local charity raising money for global water crisis michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - An Ottawabased clean water charity is calling on residents to contribute to their latest campaign and help raise money towards providing clean and safe water for people in Africa. The fifth annual Walk for Water campaign, organized by Aveda Canada, helps local charities like WaterCan host the walking campaign. Fourteen cities across Canada will be participating in the nationally organized campaign along with the local charity. The Walk for Water features a six kilometre walk, with all proceeds raised to benefit WaterCanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work to pro-

vide clean water and sanitation in eastern Africa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ottawa has safe drinking water,â&#x20AC;? said Lisa Irvine, spokeswoman for Aveda Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We turn on the tap and know our water is safe. Our walk aims to give safe drinking water to some of the one in 10 people around the world who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have clean drinking water.â&#x20AC;? The length of the walk is symbolic of the six kilometres women and children in Africa walk on average each day to collect water. Deborah Chapman from WaterCan said participants in the Ottawa walk will accompanied by African drumming provided by Dr. Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Percussion.

Metroland EMC - Ottawa Region #

According to Aveda, more than 780 million people worldwide lack access to clean drinking water, a further 2.5 billion lack access to basic sanitation and more than 4,100 children under the age of five die every day from diarrhea due to dirty water and poor sanitation. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign goal is to raise $475,000 for WaterCanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clean water projects in the eastern African countries of Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Ethiopia. Since 2006, Aveda Canada has raised $1.2 million and helped improve the lives of 48,000 people in Africa. The walk begins at 11 a.m. on April 22 at the Cartier Square Drill Hall.

Fate of St. Thomas site goes to finance committee Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintoshmetroland.com

EMC news - City staff will present a preferred option for the site of the former St. Thomas school on Leeming Drive to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finance and economic development committee on May 1. The public was initially given three options for the site next to Maki Park after collecting 500 signatures when the school closed in 2009 to keep the space for community use.

The first option was estimated by city staff to cost $4.3 million and would see a levy to area households in the amount of $374 for 10 years. If selected this option would seen the whole building renovated and all the land retained. The second option was to keep only the gymnasium and a few of the classrooms and sell off the rest of the building. The cost was estimated at $3.9 million and would come with a levy of $335 for 10 years.

The last option has no levy, but retains none of the former school building. It would sell off the land â&#x20AC;&#x201C; except for a 1,200-square-metre chunk adjacent to Maki Park. The cost was estimated at $220,000. Bay Coun. Mark Taylor said the third option was his preference because there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t community support for a levy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At least this way we have the land to build a community building or add on to Maki House at a later date,â&#x20AC;? he said,

adding he would work with the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parks and recreation department to get Crystal Beach on the infrastructure priority list for a community building. But Ruth Tremblay, president of the Crystal BeachLakeview Community Association, said she would have liked to see the city consider the business plan put together by community members. Under their plan, the city would sell off the property in two phases. The first phase

would sell off everything but the gymnasium, giving the community real figures to work with. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think we could get more for the land than the estimates,â&#x20AC;? Tremblay said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Property values are going up here.â&#x20AC;? The community would agree to a higher density residential development on the land as well to maximize the sale value and get a return on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original $2-million investment in the property.

It was an option that at the public open house on Feb. 21 that Taylor said he would consider. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I think we need a more detailed business case,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding his job is to present to the council what the community would like to see. Tremblay said keeping the sliver of land is no guarantee residents will ever see a community building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough room for a community building without compromising the park,â&#x20AC;? Tremblay said, adding a building would cut out the two rinks flooded every year.

Rideau Canal services sinking under budget cuts

“Discover Almonte, and You’ll Get $100,000 in Extra Value!” - Robert Dick & Doug McIntosh Owners, Neilcorp Homes

Boating season could be shortened as Parks Canada forced to find $29M in savings Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

EMC news - The Rideau Canal’s boating season could be cut short this summer after the federal government directed the department to shave $29.2 million dollars off its operating budget. In an internal staff memo, Parks Canada CEO Alan Latourelle said the cutbacks will mean Parks Canada seven canals could see shorter seasons, reduced hours of operation and fewer staff at lock stations in order to “focus investments on the periods of highest requirements.” Spokesperson Carol Sheedy said the Rideau Canal will still open on time on the Victoria Day weekend in May this spring, and hours of operation will remain unchanged this summer. However the canal could close earlier than the currently scheduled Oct. 10 depending on the department’s analysis of how and when the canal is used throughout the season. Sheedy said Parks Canada will look to concentrate services in the peak part of the boating season. Based on these analyses, she said the 2013 season could experience more drastic changes. Sheedy said the cutbacks are justified because locks services at Parks Canada canals have remained virtually unchanged for the past 25 years, while usage has dropped by about a third. “When you think of it, having the length of season and hours remaining largely the same but with less use, the cost of recreational boating is very high on a per-boat basis,” she said. “Within the current budget context Canadian taxpayers can no longer afford to have Parks Canada operate the canal the same way.” Merrickville Mayor Doug Struthers said the cutbacks will have an impact on towns along the Rideau Canal that depend on tourism. Given that the canal was designated a UNESCO World

Heritage Site only five years ago, Struthers said he was surprised Parks Canada was “given marching orders” to cut services. He said he was under the impression the Rideau Canal, as a national and international tourist destination, was viewed as a “strategic investment” and somewhat exempt from the chopping block. He said now that the cuts are on the table and an assessment of boat traffic is ongoing, this is an opportunity to prove the value of the Rideau Canal in order to preserve services for next season. “To me the opportunity is not to say ‘stop the process’ but to assess the value of the Rideau Corridor,” he said. “It’s an opportunity to give an outcome...that it is appropriate to maintain if not the level of funding (then) certainly the operating season and the level of service.” He said he hopes such an outcome would mean the federal government would reverse canal-specific cuts to the Parks Canada budget. Sheedy said the final decision about this year’s season end date will be made later in the summer once boat traffic numbers have come in. However she said cuts are inevitable regardless of visitor traffic. “The government has directed Parks Canada to reduce its operating budget $29.2 million dollars, or 9.3 per cent. So this means there will be impacts on our hours of operation and also on our staff, of course.” Parks Canada also plans to consolidate its service centres and national office into a “significantly reduced structure” and will limit the amount of public opinion research it conducts to improve programming. It will shift to self-guided visitor services at some national historic sites, and will align staffing with peak periods of the season, which could impact the operating seasons of some parks and sites, the memo said.

Youth panelists share life experiences ‘Cross-section for all of us’ speak at Cairine Wilson SS Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC news - Students at Cairine Wilson Secondary School heard from a unique youth panel as part of the Learning Out Loud series run by the parent council. Five Ottawa youth, none of whom were Cairine Wilson students, sat on the panel. But they represented a unique cross-section of people and life experiences, with all five sharing their experiences growing up with their personal challenges. “I’m a fairly normal person who has lived an abnormal life,” one of the youths, who is a survivor of domestic violence and a recovered drug addict, told the students. Corinne Davison, a parent of a Cairine Wilson student, moderated the session. She is also an instructional coach with inclusive, safe and

caring schools through the school board. “Often times when we look at somebody, we see one thing, just one thing, whether it’s the way they dress or the colour of their skin,” Davison said. “And then we act on what we expect.” The panelists’ experiences were varied, from growing up as a young Muslim dealing with racism, to the struggle to leave home at an early age to escape verbal abuse. It was a lesson on the complicated stories behind many of the faces students might pass in their everyday life; a reminder not to judge. The five youth spoke to a Grade 9 group first, and then opened up the session with Grade 10 students to parents and community members in the public event. “This is a snapshot and cross-section for all of us,”

House fire damages Cousineau Street home Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC news - A house at 1276 Cousineau Street in Orleans was severely damaged on April 7 after a garage fire spread through the home. Firefighters were called at 8:40 p.m. and had the fire under control by 9:30 p.m. The fire started in an attached garage, which was fully engulfed, including a ve-

hicle inside. It then spread to the attic and interior of the home, causing a total of $150,000. An adult female was at home at the time of the fire and was treated for smoke inhalation, but not taken to hospital. Two adults and two children were displaced, and will be staying with family. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

one of the youth who spoke about the struggle of needing to identify as either male or female. Another of the speakers talked about the devastating effect of losing a best friend to drug overdose, the experience of going through a treatment program to get sober, and the decision to press charges against a violent exboyfriend. “I’m lucky I’m still here,” the speaker said. “It’s a miracle.”

running on inclusivity. “We called it Learning Out Loud because we wanted to create a dialogue about diversity and inclusion,” said parent council member Denise Smeaton. “When you walk down the street, you never know someone’s story.” The stories weren’t ones heard everyday, but it was important for students to be aware of the obstacles that some youth have overcome. “There is never any one story for one person,” said

said Cairine Wilson principal Kevin Gilmore. The session is one of four at the school, run with a Parents Reaching Out (PRO) grant from the Ottawa Carleton School Board. Education sessions run with PRO grants are usually evening sessions, but the Cairine Wilson parent council decided to include the students in two of the sessions they are

Students had the chance to ask the five speakers questions, and they wanted to know about relationships with parents, and future plans. One of the speakers also pleaded with students to make use of the resources they have at hand, saying they had benefitted from the support of teachers, guidance counsellors, and programs at the Youth Services Bureau and the Kids Help Phone. “I wouldn’t wish the things that happened to us on anyone. But we’re defined by the way we overcome our challenges,” one of the youths told the students. “Overcoming hardships can be extremely rewarding.”

If we listen really close, In the silence of the night, We hear your voice comfort us, And say that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re alright, But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often hard to understand, Why certain things must be, And the reasons why they happen, Are so often hard to see, But we find comfort in knowledge, That God is always there. To keep the one we loved so much, Forever in his care.

Kanata Kourier-Standard EMC - Thursday, April 19, 2012 59

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, start thinking about curbing your spending. Your finances are in trouble if you don’t make some changes. More is going out than is coming into your accounts.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, a good night is in store this week. The night brings rewards you did not expect. Working hard yields more than financial success.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, there’s not much you can do about the current situation. Complaining about things won’t solve anything, so why waste the breath? Better news is on the horizon.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Trust your instincts, Gemini. Someone who seems like they have your best interests at heart really may have ulterior motives. Heed Capricorn’s sage advice. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you may feel like you’re the only one keeping the ship from sinking. However, this is not the case. Behindthe-scenes work is taking place, too. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, it seems as if drama is always following you. That’s because you tend to be the life of the party or prefer all eyes be on you. Think about being less conspicuous. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, it’s hard to keep friends if you are overly critical of the way they live their lives. Remember, no one is perfect — including you. Keep an open mind.

Engage in a little critical thinking this week, Aries. You have great mental energy going on, and you will be able to ask all of the right questions to get things done. Taurus, your finances need extra attention this week, so be sure to set aside some time to look at your books. This way you avoid a potential crisis.

0708

Take action with work partners to get things done this week, Gemini. Make sure to communicate well, especially reaching those who may be out of touch or distracted. Cancer, focus your energy on the various tasks at hand this week. You may have to hunker down for some time to get things done, but it will be well worth it.

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!

Sagittarius, this week is a good time to gather some friends and form a united force against an issue to which you object. Get your message across without stepping on any toes. Capricorn, you are moving so quickly through the things you need to get done that you’re wondering why it seemed so challenging just a few days ago. Aquarius, you have what it takes to make a big difference, so recruit a few other people who are content to march behind you toward the same goals. Give free reign to your emotions, Pisces. It’s alright to show frustration or even anger if it fits the particular situation.
