Capital Hoedown coming to Walter Baker Park in August EMMA JACKSON emma.jackson@metroland.com

Ottawa’s country fest is moving west as Capital Hoedown makes Kanata’s Walter Baker Park its new home next August.

From Friday, Aug. 10 to Sunday, Aug. 12 top-notch headliners such as Taylor Swift, Brad Paisley and Reba McEntire will turn Kanata into the most happening place in the city.

Capital Hoedown organizers met at Crazy Horse saloon off Terry Fox Drive in Kanata on Tuesday, Nov. 22 to announce the star-studded line-up, which also includes Canadians Gord Bamford, Marshall Dane, Tara Oram and High Valley.

Superstar veteran Terri Clark will also appear on Sunday.

Concert International president Denis Benoit, who has organized the country festival since it launched in 2010, said the move from Lebreton Flats where it was held in 2011 was purely practical.

“Lebreton Flats isn’t big enough. We were completely full last year, and with this year’s line up we’re expecting to double the crowd,” Benoit said. “We’re at the point now where with Taylor Swift, the biggest artist in the world not just in country music, at the end of the day we just wouldn’t be able to fit all those people in Lebreton Flats.”

That led Amalgamated Tran-

“We are very pleased with the letter the mayor has written.

It shows that they are willing to work with the ATU … . This is a major step,” Queale said, adding the meeting represents a change from the relationship between the city, OC Transpo and union’s in the past.

FRUSTRATION But it remains to be seen if and how the fruits of that meeting will trickle down to the front line, where drivers are grappling with the fallout from the single largest overhaul of the OC Transpo map.

The city agreed to cut $20 million from the transit operating budget by consolidating routes, trimming neighbourhood loops and reducing service. The “optimization” was needed to make the transit system financially sustainable, Watson and Deans have said.

But since those changes took place on Sept. 4, riders haven’t been happy.

The transit commission has heard a litany of complaints about overcrowded buses, and people aren’t happy that the cost of their transit passes is rising despite what they see as

lower levels of service.

“It’s a domino effect,” Fecteau said.

“The frustration from the public goes directly to the first person they see. And that is who? The bus driver,” he said.

Meanwhile, the managementlevel planners who are making the changes are insulated from the direct rider complaints, he added.

“The stress level is really skyrocketing.”

A lot of the challenge comes from the compressed times in which drivers are expected to complete their routes, Fecteau said. In the past, drivers were able to chat with passengers, but now, routes are “so compressed” that it’s straining driver-passenger interaction.

“Today, it’s so stressful, it’s just ‘Get in and get out, and move on,’” he said of how drivers approach passengers. “Scheduling is very bad. There is no time whatsoever.”

Operators sympathize with the public who get angry when buses aren’t on time, Fecteau said.

Those are problems that might have been prevented if OC Transpo management sat down with drivers and the

Amalgamated Transit Union Local 279 before the route optimization decisions were made, said Fecteau, who is a member of the ATU board.

During previous route changes, OC Transpo planners met with drivers and members of the ATU as part of a scheduling committee. But that didn’t happen this time around, Fecteau said.

“No. Nothing at all. They didn’t take time to consult the committee or the union,” he said. “They just went out there and implemented everything in one shot without doing investigation or any testing on the routes.”

The ATU and the city are set to begin meeting next month to hammer out the next long-term contract, and Fecteau said he wouldn’t be surprised if the union demands security measures for operators, including cameras on buses and cages to protect drivers.

But it’s too early to say whether another strike would be on the books later in the negotiations, Fecteau said.

Riders also need to do their part, Fecteau said. Proper etiquette and basic politeness would go a long way, he said.

OC Transpo has received another complaint about a rude bus driver, this time from a Bridlewood resident.

Little Ninjas (5-7 years old) Your child will start to learn the discipline and respect that goes along with Martial Arts training, in a non-contact, controlled yet exciting atmosphere that will motivate and inspire!

Queale said the union does not condone discourtesy to passengers.

“We don’t condone their actions,” he said. “We just want the public to know we’re there to take them to and from work in a safe and courteous manner.”

Last Wednesday’s incident was the result of a driver misreading his route schedule, said Queale.

“It was an operator error.”

Natalie Patrick, Gore’s mother, and an English as a second language teacher, said the incident on the Route 164 bus bothered her because three of the passengers spoke very little English.

“These lovely people, probably visitors to the city, were probably just visiting their family,” she said. “(The driver) was being belligerent and rude.”

angry with the public,” said the Holy Trinity Catholic High School student.

“Recently it’s kind of been bad.”

Gary Queale, president of Amalgamated Transit Union, Local 279, the city’s transit union, said drivers have been placed under a fair degree of stress ever since the city introduced cuts and changes to OC Transpo routes in September.

“With the route changes in September, they’ve cut back and shortened routes, (and) the people are packing into the buses – there’s less buses,” he said.

When buses are packed or late, passengers become frustrated, and sometimes take it out on the drivers, Queale said.

R0011148460

Another OC Transpo bus driver has been criticized for making rude comments this month after ending his run near a field in Bridlewood and ordering his passengers off the bus on Wednesday, Nov. 16.

This is the third complaint against a driver this month.

An OC Transpo driver was fired last week after a video was posted on YouTube allegedly showing a driver cursing at a passenger.

Last Wednesday, Connor Gore, a 16year-old Bridlewood teen, was travelling home from work on a Route 164 bus, when the vehicle stopped on Hope Side Road.

“Last stop, everybody get off,” the driver said.

The three other passengers travelling on the bus were elderly Asian Canadians and did not speak English very well, said Gore.

“OK, I can’t understand Chinese,” the driver told the passengers, according to Gore.

“He was being really, really rude,” said Gore. “He’s getting angry at them for getting on the wrong bus.”

Gore called his mother and asked for a ride home.

As he started walking away from the bus stop, Gore looked back and noticed the other passengers waiting near the bus stop.

Gore said most of the bad experiences he’s had on buses have happened over the past several months.

Bridlewood gets a bookmobile stop LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

The Bookmobile is coming to Bridlewood.

The mobile library service already visits 21 communities across the city, and Kanata south will be the newest addition to that list in the new year.

Anything you borrow from the library branch can be borrowed from or ordered through the bookmobile, including English and French books for all ages, magazines, DVDs, audiobooks and large-print materials.

Borrowers can choose items from the stock the bookmobile has on board, or they can order items from one of the 33 branches to be sent to your Bookmobile stop. Items borrowed from a bookmobile can be returned to a Bookmobile or any library branch.

Both bookmobiles are wheelchair accessible.

Residents and councillors for Kanata South, including Hubley and former councillor Peggy Feltmate, have long been

lobbying for library service to be extended to the ward.

Hubley said the ideal solution would be to build a library branch in Bridlewood, but it’s not possible because there is no land available, he said.

Hubley has also asked city staff to look at adding Bridlewood to the city’s plans to expend a self-serve library kiosk program, but the kiosks were put on hold in the 2012 budget.

Instead, Bridlewood will be visited by one of the city’s two bookmobiles once a week. The decision was announced at a library board meeting on Nov. 14.

“I’m so excited about this,” Hubley said.

The library hasn’t decided which day of the week it will be, or the hours or location. But Hubley said he hopes the bookmobile will be able to park in a city-owned lot. Hubley’s preference would be at the Eva James Community Centre.

The councillor said the location and schedule will be finalized by the new year – or perhaps earlier.

Capital Hoedown moves to the west end HOEDOWN, from 1 Lebreton Flats, being downtown, also had a significant parking problem, he added.

In 2010 the festival was held at the Rideau Carleton Raceway in Ottawa South, but the festival outgrew that location as well.

Benoit said he doesn’t think there will be any negative effect from moving the hoedown out west, especially with Swift in its arsenal.

“Its 10 minutes from downtown, and there’s a great public transit system going out there.

People have to go out that way for any other big event at Scotiabank Place, and people go,” he said.

Benoit said they are hoping to make Walter Baker Park the hoedown’s permanent home, although Kanata South Coun.

Allan Hubley said that will depend on how the event goes.

“I’m cautiously optimistic.

What I’ve agreed to do is try it.

We’ll make every effort we can to make sure it runs smoothly and make sure it’s a good event.

When it’s done, I’ll talk to my residents and if everybody likes how this went then we will make it an annual event,” Hubley said.

He said there are clear benefits to bringing the show – the biggest Walter Baker Park has ever held – to the area.

“Obviously the hotels and restaurants will benefit from this.

Trash equals taxes

T

here will be an outcry in Ottawa as more residents become aware that their regular garbage will be picked up every other week starting in November 2012.

The change is coming because it saves money and will likely prompt more residents to recycle and compost waste, instead of dropping it into the regular garbage.

The biggest savings will be the potential delay in requiring a new landfill once the Trail Road dump is full. If we extend its lifespan by recycling, we save millions of dollars.

The tax savings have been poorly communicated by municipalities, including the City of Ottawa.

Meanwhile, the backlash to trash pickup every 14 days may be so great that council has to reverse its decision, destroying its current cost and landfill estimates.

Recycling and composting may be a good idea, but people like to take the easy way out. Across Ontario, 55 per cent of waste that could be recycled ends up in landfills.

Ottawa estimates $535,000 in lost revenue went into the landfill because people throw recyclables into the

garbage.

Either we do a better job of recycling or we will have to accept more landfills. Judging by the public’s negative reaction to plans to expand the Carp Road landfill, the public doesn’t like new dumps.

The cost of creating another landfill is considerable, if you can even find a place willing to take out our trash. And since a new dump probably wouldn’t work anywhere in city limits, we’d all be forced to pay for our waste to be trucked away.

The value of Ottawa’s Trail Road landfill is $200 million. Every bit of time we can squeeze out of that resource equals millions of taxpayers dollars saved.

On top of the cost, consider the environmental impact of sending diesel trucks to a distant dump and back, day after day for, well, pretty much forever, or until we build an even newer dump even further away.

Last year, Ottawa residents combined to create 900 tonnes of waste in their homes each day. That’s 360 kilograms of waste per person, per year.

Ontario ranks sixth among Canadian provinces when it comes to diverting waste from landfills. In the long run, can we afford to be anything but the frontrunner?

COLUMN

Do we have to name everything after Sir John A.?

S

ir John A. Macdonald’s name is back in the news again. He would be happy about that, probably, although he might wonder why we don’t talk about something else occasionally.

Specifically, the idea of naming things after Sir John A. has resurfaced, the latest being the Ottawa River Parkway. Sir John A. was a great man and important to our city, so it doesn’t sound a like a bad idea until you think about it a bit.

You will remember a recent suggestion that Wellington Street be given Sir John A.’s name. That didn’t go far, because some tradition-minded people didn’t like the idea of playing games with history.

And other people admired the Ottawalike confusion of having a street that is called, depending upon where you are on it, Richmond Road, Wellington Street, Rideau Street or Montreal Road.

So Sir John A. struck out there. With no disrespect, he should strike out here too. True, the Ottawa River Parkway doesn’t have a long tradition, like Wellington Street. But it is named after something that is important in our history – namely, the Ottawa River.

And the other thing that nobody seems to mention is that Sir John A. has a ton of things named after him. Along with

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town Cartier, he has the airport, a big bridge and the road to Toronto. There is also a MacDonald-Cartier Academy in town.

How much more does he want?

There are other deserving politicians who don’t have streets named after them.

Think of R.B. Bennett, John Diefenbaker, not to mention The Right Hon. Sir Mackenzie Bowell. Lester Pearson is thought by some historians to have been Canada’s greatest prime minister, yet all he has is a building on Sussex Drive.

More recently, Jean Chrétien and Brian Mulroney each governed this country for a decade. They deserve a street, if we’re handing them out.

And, of course, we are. If you drive out into the suburbs and the rural part of the city, you will find all sorts of things – streets, schools, community centres – named after various councillors and

mayors of the past. So there’s no reason why more federal politicians should not get their due.

But it should not be confined to that.

Think of the Ottawans who have distinguished themselves in sports, in business, in humanitarian work, in the public service, in the arts. There is a precedent – Paul Anka Drive, Rich Little Drive.

Others deserve streets too. I’d like to see Norman Robertson Avenue, Frances Itani Street, Angela Hewitt Drive, Brian Kilrea Avenue.

If new streets are not being constructed fast enough – and you sort of hope they aren’t, given the implications for urban sprawl – then some of the streets named after trees could be renamed, or streets with those generic nature names, like Spruceview or Rosehill or Ivygrove or such.

Of course, all these names have their enthusiasts. Someone who has lived on Grassview Drive all his life may not like having it called Mulroney Boulevard and will squawk about it. That’s why these things are difficult.

But, leaving the Ottawa River Parkway as it is, we need to move quickly if we want some decent names on Ottawa streets. Because you know what the alternative is. Yes: selling naming rights

to the highest bidder.

That notion has also been in the news recently. Ottawa city council is considering a bid to sell naming rights for a recreation centre in Kanata to a property developer. That’s in line with a policy adopted in March to sell naming rights to city facilities, particularly sports complexes.

You know where that leads – Walmart Avenue, Google Drive, GlaxoSmithKline Street, Viagra Boulevard, Seagram Road.

The notion of letting the marketplace determine a city’s identity is not recommended, particularly if we want our city to reflect its history and traditions. Mind you, Seagram Road might appeal to Sir John A.

Tanger to open U.S.-style mall near Scotiabank Place LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

An American company has plans to open a 350,000 square foot outlet mall in Kanata as part of its expansion into the Canadian market.

North Carolina based Tanger Factory Outlet Centers announced it had bought about 20 hectares of land off Highway 417 at Palladium Drive to be developed as an outlet shopping mall, along with Canadian real estate company RioCan, on Monday, Nov. 21.

Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said she was very interested to hear about the proposal four months ago, because outlets are “an alternative type of shopping that a lot of people like.”

The new mall has the potential to keep people shopping in Canada, she said, since many people in the area already travel to the United States to shop at similar outlet malls.

“It will probably save some people (costs) in fuel,” she said, “And it will keep jobs on Canadian soil.”

She couldn’t say which stores were

planned for the mall, but she said it will include a mix of Canadian and U.S. high-end retail.

The preliminary plans include stores attached with outdoor walkways. The mall will also take advantage of a scenic local creek, which won’t be altered dur-

“It will probably save some people (costs) in fuel. And it will keep jobs on Canadian soil.”

ing construction, Wilkinson said.

Wilkinson said RioCan looked all over Ottawa before choosing the Kanata west location, but the Huntmar site is best situated to capture shoppers from both the city and the surrounding Ottawa Valley.

Its proximity to Scotiabank Place will also be beneficial, Wilkinson said, because people could come and shop in the afternoon before taking in a hockey game or a concert in the evening.

But Wilkinson said RioCan’s an-

nouncement surprised her because the company only has a conditional purchase of the property, which is currently owned by Taggart Realty and Shenkman.

The company is finishing background studies and should be ready to apply for rezoning next month, Wilkinson said.

The new commercial zoning would likely be a slam dunk, the councillor said, because it matches well with the neighbouring properties, including the autopark across the highway.

The extension of Campeau Drive to Huntmar, which is planned for 2013-14, will provide a second road access to the mall, Wilkinson said.

Tanger and RioCan also announced Monday their plans to buy the Cookstown Outlet Mall 50 kilometres north of Toronto and expand it into a full-scale Tanger Outlet Center. “Our site in Ottawa represents an exciting opportunity to expand our co-ownership platform beyond Toronto,” said Edward Sonshine, president and CEO of RioCan, in a press release.

“The addition of the site in the Ottawa market puts us well on the way to the establishment of a Canadian outlet shopping platform,” said Steven Tanger, president and CEO of Tanger, in a statement.

Tanger currently operates 38 upscale outlet shopping malls in 25 states.

Richcraft buys rec centre naming rights laura.mueller@metroland.com

ager, or if only one suitable sponsor can be identified – the reason used in this case.

But West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry said the rec centre is a special case.

The facility had already been scaled back due to the loss of a planned partnership with the YMCA, and the community is still trying to make up a shortfall in funding to ensure it gets the best facility possible.

“We’ve been trying for a while to get this kind of support,” El-Chantiry said.

Construction of the rec centre will start next month and is set to be completed by September of 2013.

The naming proposal might take some heat because it was endorsed by the city’s committee without seeking a competitive bid.

The city’s corporate sponsorship and advertising policy states that, in general, sponsorships should be put to a competitive bid if they are offer “significant corporate profile,” if they are for periods of longer than three years and if the agreement gives exclusive benefits and recognition to the company or person.

Those criteria all apply to the Richcraft proposal, but there are situations in which the competition can be skipped. Those situations include: if the sponsorship opportunity is “unique, innovative or experimental,” if the value is less than $50,000, if the need is justified in a business case presented by a deputy city man-

Richcraft Group of Companies will pay half a million dollars to put its name on the new Kanata north recreation complex.

The 8,825-square-metre complex will feature a 25 m lap pool, a leisure pool, a community centre, two gymnasiums, a fitness centre, outdoor fields, indoor courts, a skate park and now, signs bearing the builder’s name.

The option of a $500,000 payment for naming rights was originally included in a 2010 report to city council.

Richcraft sent a letter on Oct. 17 to express interest in purchasing naming rights.

The company is one of the most ubiquitous builders in Ottawa, and according to its website, it is the city’s largest landowner. The local company is almost 30 years old and sells more than 500 homes annually in 15 neighbourhoods across the city, from downtown condos to suburban townhomes. In Kanata, Richcraft developed Brookside and the Kanata Lakes development.

The payments would be spread out in annual $100,000 contributions and would give Richcraft the naming rights for 15 years, until 2026.

The money is part of the fundraising efforts of the rec centre steering committee, led by Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. The group needs to raise enough to increase the number of lanes in the lap pool from six to eight (at a cost of $850,000), to enlarge the skate park (an extra $400,000) and provide money to offset the increased operating costs

associated with those additions.

In addition to the $500,000 from Richcraft, the group has fundraised about $100,000, Wilkinson said. More money will come from a sponsored sculpture garden at the rec centre.

Richcraft’s contribution will entitle it to signs both outside and inside the facility, the use of the facility’s Richcraft name in all promotional material.

Wilkinson said the city will need to hammer out a sponsorship agreement with Richcraft after council gives the naming a final thumb’s up, but it’s likely that Richcraft would have to pay for any additional signs the company might want, beyond the main outdoor sign.

ARC recommends moving grades 7 and 8 to Earl JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The Kanata North Accommodation Review Committee (ARC) presented its draft recommendations to the public during its fourth and final meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 16.

The ARC gave two proposed options, one if there is no new elementary school built in the area, and one if a new building is constructed by 2015.

“We obviously know as a district we need to build more capacity,” said Karyn Ostafichuk, manager of planning for the Ottawa public school board.

The board had a site set aside in the KNL development lands in the Beaver Pond area, but Ostafichuk said it doesn’t have access to the land because of the environmental issues.

“We can’t get to that now,” she said. “There are no alternatives up there set aside.”

She said the board is looking at new sites and is making some progress, but it doesn’t have anything concrete.

“We don’t have anything to announce…at this time,” said Ostafichuk.

Changes must be made in existing schools, or a new one built, before 2015 when full-day kindergarten must be implemented in all Ontario schools.

“The number of kindergarten classes you need are going to double,” said Cathy Briggs, chairperson of the Kanata North ARC. As it stands, there are not enough spaces for students in 2012. With student projection numbers, there will be 3,399 students in Kanata north schools in 2012, and currently there are only spaces for 2,457, said Briggs.

“We don’t have enough spaces for students,” she said.

The committee received around 280 feedback sheets from the third public meeting, which was held in October.

“I can tell you honestly that we read every single one,” said Briggs.

Three major points were outlined by parents who provided their opinions: • A large majority of South March Public School parents preferred kindergarten students to remain at that school.

• A large majority of Stephen Leacock Public School parents were against the grades 7 to 12 model for Earl of March and West Carleton secondary schools.

• A majority of Jack Donohue Public School parents were cautiously optimistic towards the

grades 7 to 12 model for high schools, with special considerations.

OPTION 1 The first draft recommendation was the option put forward by the ARC if no new elementary school is built in Kanata north.

It included that all grades 7 and 8 students would be redirected to their area high school, either Earl of March or West Carleton, and both secondary schools receive facility expansions.

All elementary schools would serve students from junior kindergarten to Grade 6.

Roland Michener Public School would offer dual-track programming and South March would receive an eight-classroom expansion.

OPTION 2 The second draft recommendation was the option put forward by the ARC if a new elementary school is built in Kanata north, with construction starting by April 2013.

It recommended both secondary schools, Earl of March and West Carleton, would remain the same with grades 9 to 12 students. The buildings would receive no expansions.

A review of attendance boundaries, grade structures and programs would have to be conducted at all elementary schools.

South March would receive an eight-classroom expansion.

‘FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE’ Briggs said both options were made because they were the most “fiscally responsible” choices and because the ARC wanted to recommend something feasible to the board.

“Many, many factors were considered,” she said, adding the decisions made by the committee were “student-based.”

Two parents spoke about their concerns regarding student safety for grades 7 and 8 students attending a high school.

Both said if the first option is the one chosen, they want to see the grades 7 and 8 students isolated from the older crowd.

Jill Bennett, superintendent of instruction for Kanata schools with the public board, said student safety and programming is taken seriously.

“I don’t want you to think we’re just making a rush decision,” she said.

Members of the Kanata South Accommodation Review Committee announce their draft recommendation to restructure grades and programs offered at public elementary schools.

‘What they’re trying to do is balance out populations’ BLAIR EDWARDS blair.edwards@metroland.com

A committee of parents, teachers and community volunteers have come up with what they hope is a long-term solution to an enrolment imbalance in Kanata south schools.

The Kanata South Accommodation Review Committee announced its draft recommendation to restructure grades and programs offered at the OttawaCarleton District School Board’s elementary schools in Katimavik, Glen Cairn and Bridlewood during a public meeting held at A.Y. Jackson Secondary School on Wednesday, Nov. 16.

More than 200 people attended the meeting, which included a question and answer period, when committee members collected feedback on the proposal.

Kanata south’s public elementary schools have enough space for all its students with the use of portables, said the committee – with 3,010 spaces available at seven schools and a projected enrolment of 3,410 students in September, 2012.

Katimavik Elementary, W.O. Mitchell and Roch Carrier are over capacity, while Bridlewood Community Elementary, John Young, Glen Cairn Public and Castlefrank are under capacity.

“What they were trying to do is balance out populations,” said Kanata trustee Cathy Curry.

“Some schools are over-utilized, some are underutilized. There is enough classroom space, it’s just that the populations are unevenly distributed based on where the programs are located.”

The committee’s draft recommendation will ensure all seven schools are dual track, she said, offering both an English and a French immersion program.

The recommendation, which included moving the middle French immersion program at Katimavik Elementary starting next year, received a cool reaction from several parents during the question period of the meeting.

“If my son goes to Glen Cairn I will probably ask him to drop out and go back to Jack Donahue in (the English program),” said a Morgan’s Grant man, whose son is in the Grade 5 middle French immersion program at Katimavik Elementary.

William, a Grade 5 middle French immersion student at Katimavik Elementary said he was told his grade was moving to Glen Cairn Public earlier this year.

“I really like Katimavik School,” he told the committee.

“So I don’t want to move to Glen Cairn.”

RECOMMENDATION The accommodation review committee recommended: •Katimavik Elementary: Eliminate the middle French immersion program (grades 4 to 8) starting next September, but maintain an MFI program from 2012-13 to allow students entering Grade 8 next year to avoid a school change for just one year.

Under the proposal, Katimavik Elementary will offer English and early French immersion programs for students in grades 4 to 8.

This option will reduce overcrowding at Katimavik, said the committee, reducing enrolment from 176 per cent over capacity to 126 per cent over capacity starting next year.

•Castlefrank Elementary: Introduce an early French immersion program as well as the existing English program for

students in junior kindergarten to Grade 3. Students in grades 4 to 6 will be moved to another school. The school is projected to be under capacity (75 per cent) starting next September.

•Glen Cairn Public: Introduce middle French immersion (grades 4 to 8) starting next September and maintain an English program for students in junior kindergarten to Grade 8. The school will also offer an early French immersion program for grades 7 and 8. The school is projected to be over capacity (134 per cent) starting next September.

•John Young Elementary: Maintain English, early French immersion and gifted English programs for grades 1 to 6. The committee projects the school will increase its enrolment but remain under capacity (78 per cent).

• Bridlewood Community Elementary: Eliminate the middle French immersion program and introduce early French immersion starting next September.

The school would also maintain its English and gifted English programs for junior kindergarten to Grade 8. The school is projected to be over capacity (112 per cent) starting next September.

•Roch Carrier Elementary: Offer English and early French immersion programs for students in junior kindergarten to Grade 6. The committee projects the school will be close to capacity (104 per cent) starting next September.

•W.O. Mitchell Elementary: Offer English and early French immersion programs for students in junior kindergarten to Grade 8. The school is projected to be slightly over capacity (110 per cent) starting next September.

Education

Kanata south schools committee rejects high school option KANATA SOUTH, from 10 The committee rejected an option that called for a boundary change for A.Y. Jackson and Earl of March secondary schools.

But the committee said it planned to ask the school board to address the “perceived inequities” in the facility, educational and extra-curricular options available to A.Y. Jackson students.

Curry said the committee was referring to the advanced placement courses offered by teachers at Earl of March, a voluntary program that hasn’t been taken up by teachers at A.Y Jackson.

Advanced placement courses allow students to earn university credits and achieve advanced standing at universities.

Most of the questions during the meeting came from parents whose children attend Katima-

vik Elementary.

PETITION Bing Xiao, whose son attends Grade 5 at Katimavik Elementary, said a group of parents have mounted a petition asking the board to grandfather eliminating the middle French immersion program.

So far, the petition has collected more than 80 signatures, he said.

Following the meeting, Curry said that when the school board contemplates moving a program or grade, parents always prefer the grandfathering option.

“If you can grandfather and it can work then you can do that,” she said.

The accommodation review committee is still accepting feedback from parents and may modify its draft recommendation.

Any comments can be sent to kanatasouthelemarc@ocdsb.ca.

The committee will present a recommendation to the Ottawa public school board on Dec. 15.

The Kanata North Accommodation Review Committee will present a similar report to the board, designed to reduce overcrowding in Kanata schools north of Highway 417.

The board will make a final decision on changes to Kanata schools on April 24.

West end Queensway to expand JESSICA CUNHA

Saturday, November 26, 2011

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Work on the expansion of Highway 417 near Scotiabank Place is set to begin this month.

Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli, also Ontario’s minister of transportation and infrastructure, announced the provincial government is investing funds to expand the stretch of Queensway from Eagleson Road to Hwy 7 and repair three bridges that serve as overpasses on Tuesday, Nov. 15.

“Hwy. 417 is critical to moving people and goods,” said Chiarelli. “We are improving congestion on our roads and cre-

The project will cost $86-million.

The upgrades include: • Widening Hwy. 417 to eight lanes from Eagleson Road to Palladium Drive with a new high occupancy vehicle lane in each direction.

• Widening Hwy. 417 to six lanes from Palladium Drive to Hwy. 7.

• Repairs to the Eagleson Road, Huntmar Drive and Carp Road bridges.

• Improvements to the freeway management system, which monitors traffic incidents and volume, and new lighting.

The upgrades are expected to begin by the end of this month and finish in 2014.

AMC to show sensory-friendly film AMC THEATRES AMC Theatres Kanata is hosting a special showing of The Muppets for children with autism or other special needs on Dec. 3 at 10 a.m.

In order to provide a more accepting and comfortable setting for children with autism or other special needs, AMC movie auditoriums will have their lights brought up and the sound turned down.

Families will be able to bring in their own gluten-free, casein-free snacks, and no previews or advertise-

ments will be shown before the movie.

Additionally, audience members are welcome to get up and dance, walk, shout or sing - in other words, AMC’s “Silence is Golden” policy will not be enforced unless the safety of the audience is questioned. Tickets can be purchased on the day of the event.

Autism is a complex neurodevelopmental disability that affects a person’s ability to communicate and interact with others. It often comes with sensory chal-

lenges, such as hypersensitivity to light or sound, and children or adults affected by autism may not understand the social boundaries of movie theatre etiquette, such as not talking during the film or sitting still through most of the show.

Students at Earl of March Secondary School hosted a day-long event to promote healthy habits on Wednesday, Nov. 9.

The leadership class created Friends With Healthy Benefits, which combined interactive challenges with information on healthy living and eating.

The entire class was tasked with planning and executing an event that benefits a good cause, said student Amy Zhou. Her group wanted to focus on something unique and they came up with the idea of promoting healthy eating and active living in teens and young adults.

The five-person team created challenges based off of reality television shows, including: • Hell’s Kitchen, which taught about healthy eating choices.

• Survivor, a challenging obstacle course.

• The Calories are Right, which

teaches about hidden calories in foods.

• So You Think You Can Fitness, where groups learned and created their own fitness routines.

• A Family Feud-type competition asked questions related to everything the students had previously learned in the other challenges.

Principal Steve Massey said he was pleased with the students’ knowledge of healthy living.

Turning our trash into treasure FIRST IN A THREE-PART SERIES

BY DON CAMPBELL, THANA DHARMARAJAH AND EMMA JACKSON Bob Beacock ignores the overpowering stench as he walks into a pile of sticky, torn garbage bags dumped on top of one of Ontario’s heaping landfill sites.

Dozens of seagulls snap up morsels of trash as Beacock unearths an umbrella, electrical wires, a plastic canola oil container and a 20-litre plastic pail.

He scoops up a battery with his shovel.

“There’s a real no-no,” says the Brock Township landfill operator. “I don’t know how many times we tell the public. There’s one thing I hate seeing in a landfill is any battery.”

These items could have been diverted through one of Ontario’s provincewide waste diversion programs. But they ended up here.

Programs like the blue box may have lulled Ontarians into believing they’re doing all they can to help the environment and reduce waste. But Trash Troubles — a Metroland special report — shows we aren’t being as diligent as we think.

Provincewide, 55 per cent of garbage that could be recycled ends up in landfills instead. As a result, landfills are filling up fast and we are on the brink of a waste disposal crisis, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) says.

“Our garbage continues to outstrip available landfill space,” said AMO’s president Gary McNamara. “We must either reduce our waste and recycle more waste, or accept new landfills or incinerators in our communities.”

Government established ambitious waste diversion targets during the last decade, but today, more than half of the 5 million tonnes of waste picked up at Ontario curbsides annually gets dumped instead of recycled or reused. That 2.7 million tonnes of waste that could have been diverted is equivalent to the weight of 6,222 Boeing 747 jets.

For example, three-quarters of plastics that should be recycled end up in landfills instead.

And even though organics make up about one-third of the province’s waste, only 40 per cent of Ontarians have access to a curbside green bin program.

Ottawa’s green bin program

was launched in January 2010, although it only served single homes initially. Over the past two years the city has slowly introduced the program to other dwellings, including some walkup apartments. A number of public and Catholic schools also participate, and the city plans to incorporate more townhomes, apartments and condos in the future.

The city’s green bin program accepts food scraps, soiled paper products such as napkins, cardboard, and muffin wrappers, yard waste, kitty litter, animal bedding and vacuum bag contents. Unlike some programs in the greater Toronto area, Ottawa’s green bin program does not accept plastic bags, dog feces or diapers.

Residents pay approximately $26 per year for the service through a city-wide tax levy.

Currently, the green bin is collected weekly from April to November, and bi-weekly from December to March. Beginning late 2012, however, weekly green bin pick-up will commence year round and garbage collection will be reduced to every second week. This controversial change was approved by Ottawa city council in April 2011 in an effort to extend the lifetime of the city’s Trail Road Waste Facility landfill in Ottawa South.

More than $320 million was spent on waste diversion in Ontario last year, through programs funded by industry, municipalities and the province. Consumers also pay through eco fees on certain products.

Ontario towns and cities have barely made a dent in the truckloads of plastic bottles, pop cans, magazines, milk cartons and other household garbage that still end up in dumps.

A 2010 report by Ontario’s auditor general ranked the province sixth in Canada by wastediversion rate, behind Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, British Columbia and Quebec and well behind most European countries.

To read the full report visit http://www.auditor.on.ca/en/ reports_en/en10/309en10.pdf.

“There’s a good portion of the population who are very devout, who take a lot of time and sort,” Beacock said at the Brock Township site, northeast of Toronto.

“The rest of them do nothing.

It’s just all wham bam in a bag and out to the curb.”

Even green bin waste is a problem. York is sending some

of its organics to Massachusetts because its Ontario contractor cannot handle the region’s full volume.

“As long as you have got this escape valve of (sending it south), no one is going to take this issue seriously,” said Municipal Waste Association spokesperson Ben Bennett.

Municipalities are trying to send less to landfills but are falling short of official targets.

The auditor general says waste diversion rates are lagging because: Municipalities with enough landfill space are unlikely to reduce curbside pickups and impose garbage bag limits.

Municipalities have to compete with each other and the private sector to sell their recyclable and compostable materials.

Municipalities say the nearly $80 million provided by industry for their share of the $160-million-a-year blue box program is not enough.

Even the types of materials collected in residential blue bin programs differ by municipality.

While one may accept aluminum foil, trays and take out containers, another may only take one of these materials or refuse it all.

“You go to your neighbouring municipality and it’s different.

It’s very frustrating for residents,” said Trevor Barton, Peel Region’s waste management planning supervisor.

Each municipality has to be able to find a market or a solution for the recyclable materials it collects, said Lucy Robinson of the Recycling Council of Ontario.

“If there is an inherent value

in a product or material, somebody is going to want to use it and therefore, there will be a recycling opportunity.”

Ontario households trashed 176,500 tonnes of plastics, 116,000 tonnes of printed paper and 122,000 tonnes of paper packaging in 2009, according to a report

by Stewardship Ontario, the industry-funded organization for the blue box program.

The auditor general says the result is that one in five municipalities report they don’t have enough space to dump their residential garbage.

Ottawa’s blue box program accepts glass bottles and jars, metal cans, aluminum cans and foil, empty paint and aerosol cans, and spiral wound canisters such as frozen juice cans.

As for plastics, the blue box accepts plastics numbered one through seven, including the recent addition of clamshell containers like those that hold produce, eggs or baked goods.

Single-serve yogurt containers have also been added to the list, as have plastic pails, flower pots and planting trays.

Film plastic such as grocery bags and food wrap, hard plastics such as toys or dishes, and any Styrofoam materials are not accepted.

It also takes some cardboard containers including milk and juice cartons, Tetra Pak packaging, and juice and soup boxes.

Most cardboard goes into the city’s black box program, however, which accepts newspapers and flyers, magazines, corrugated cardboard, cracker and cereal boxes, telephone books, writing and computer paper, books, paper towel and toilet paper rolls,

egg cartons, gift wrap and cards, paper shopping bags and packaging, frozen dinner boxes, shoe boxes and laundry detergent boxes.

Not many landfills are being built since it’s a long, complicated ordeal to get ministry approval.

Lafleche Environmental Inc. in Moose Creek, near Ottawa, was the last new landfill approved in 1999 in Ontario, the ministry of the environment said.

With landfills tough to build, there is a push to keep waste out, spawning provincewide stewardship programs. Experts also say government needs to push producers to design more recyclable and reusable products, also known as extended producer responsibility.

AMO recently ran ads saying consumers and producers of waste should be funding recycling programs so property taxpayers are not left footing the bill.

“A senior on a fixed income who doesn’t drive, own an iPad or a big flat screen TV shouldn’t have to pay for the high disposal costs of other people’s tires, smart phones and computers through her property taxes,” said McNamara.

Along with industry involvement, waste management officials and experts say residents need to watch what they are throwing out.

“They would just rather throw it in a bag and get rid of it and throw it in a landfill,” said Peterborough’s waste management co-ordinator Craig Simmons.

“They just think there’s an unlimited area where that material can go.”

Haven youth centre to hold grand opening

Community

Vigil for female victims of violence to be held on Dec. 6 WESTERN OTTAWA COMMUNITY RESOURCE CENTRE On Dec. 6, 1989, a man shot and killed 14women at Ecole Polytechnique because he claimed he “hated feminists”.

That horrific event brought violence against women into the spotlight and was a wake-up call to action; it became everyone’s issue, everybody’s responsibility to end violence against women.

Dec. 6 has become the date commemorated as the national day of remembrance and action on violence against women.

Vigils are held every year in December

across Canada to remember the 14 women who died, as well as all women who have fallen due to senseless acts of violence.

Since that tragic day, the call to action has resulted in some change.

Unfortunately, great strides have not been made to reduce the incidence of “femicide”.

However, services to help women remove themselves from abusive situations are more available and that it has become easier to speak out about issues around violence against women.

Statistics clearly indicate that many women across Canada, regardless of age,

socioeconomic status, or race live in fear and assault.

The Ottawa Coalition To End Violence Against Women (OCTEVAW) released a report “Hidden From Sight – A Look at the Prevalence of Violence Against Women in Ottawa.”

This report shows that Internet abuse and forcible confinement are on the rise and that Ottawa women’s shelters have to turn away approximately 3,000 women every year.

In 2007-08 the Ottawa police responded to 2,440 domestic violence occurrences where charges were laid or warrants sought and of those, 89 per cent were male perpetrators.

The Violence Against Women Program, coordinated by the Western Ottawa Community Resource Center in Kanata offers resources and support to women who are dealing with the effects of partner

abuse.

Peer supporter volunteers are part of this program and provide women with one-to-one support, accompaniment to appointments and public education and social action.

The public is invited to join the vigil on Tuesday, Dec. 6, at 5:15 pm, at the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre located at 2 MacNeil Crt. in Kanata.

We will be hosting an outdoor candlelight ceremony, followed by an indoor reception, to honour and remember the 14 women massacred at École Polytechnique as well as all women who have fallen due to acts of violence.

Please come out and show our community that these women will not be forgotten.

Local councillors and Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson have been invited to attend.

Light refreshments will be served.

The Capital City Condors have expanded.

Now in its fourth year, the hockey team, which caters to youth with intellectual and physical disabilities, has grown to include a west team in Kanata and an east team in Rockland – and president Jim Perkins said they’re already looking for more ice in the city.

With 39 players on the west team and 35 players on the east team, there are already at least 20 youths on the waiting list, said Perkins.

“The issue is going to be ice again,” he said. “Ideally, our goal is to expand again.

“We envision four teams eventually.”

He said the Condors are looking at potentially expanding to Barrhaven or south Ottawa, as well as Gatineau sometime in the future.

“We have people registering when their kids are three years old to make sure they have a spot,” said Perkins.

The new Rockland Condors team has a home base at the Canadian International Hock-

ey Academy, a private hockey boarding school in the east end of the city.

“We were obviously really fortunate to have met up with them,” said Perkins. “(The kids) love it.”

The school was looking for ways to volunteer in the community, he said, and when they heard about the Condors it turned out to be a great fit.

“The students help volunteer every week,” said Perkins.

With two Ottawa Condor teams, the hockey players now have a chance to face off once a month.

The friendly games will alternate between the Rockland rink and the Jack Charron Arena in Glen Cairn where the west team has its home base. The Condors also get sporadic ice time in Carp.

“Now they get to play,” said Perkins, adding before it was hard to set up game days. “This way they’ll get a game every month.”

The east team will play in red jerseys, while the west team’s colour is black.

“It’s more than just a hockey team,” said Perkins. “It’s a community.”

The players look forward to hockey every week, he said, with many getting their gear laid out the night before.

“For them to be part of a team it builds their self-esteem, their moral,” said Perkins.

He said a number of the players have developed in terms of broadening their personalities and growing their social-interaction skills.

“I think we’re seeing some of the long-term benefits.”

Perkins said the teams are still looking for more volunteers for one hour a week on Saturdays with either the west or east team.

RINK DREAMS Perkins said eventually he’d like to see a complex built with the purpose of serving those with physical and mental disabilities.

“Our dream now is to put up a complex,” he said.

The Condors have taken off in the four years since the team’s inception; although it caters to youth, there are a number of young adults on the team who started in their teens.

“We need a couple different

He said he’d also like to see a place where people could play sledge hockey, which allows those with physical disabilities to play the sport on a sled.

“If we ever had our dream (of a complex) we’d want two ice surfaces,” he said – one for ice hockey and one for sledge hockey.

Eventually, Perkins said he’d like to see a partnership with the Soldier On program, which helps ill or injured Canadian Forces personnel to fully and actively participate in physical fitness.

“So that’s kind of our dream right now,” said Perkins. “It just keeps growing.”

SMOKERS’ HELPLINE

KANATA RHYTHMIC GYMNASTICS CLUB Rhythmic gymnasts raised over $4,400 in pledges for the Kanata Rhythmic Gymnastics Club at the annual gymathon held in Kanata on Nov. 12 and 13.

Over 120 gymnasts from ages four to 17 from the recreational, interclub, provincial and national programs participated in challenging and fun activities with the rope, ribbon, ball and hoop, as well as enjoying performances of the new season’s routines from the Club’s competitive gymnasts and finding out more about this popular Olympic sport for girls.

The Gymathon was held on two days this year for the first time, as the number of gymnasts in the club meant that one rhythmic carpet would not accommodate all the gymnastics activity.

The new format was pronounced to be a success by all the volunteers, parents, coaches and gymnasts participating.

The not for profit club is the largest rhythmic gymnastics club in Ontario, and is dedicated to offering girls and women a variety of rhythmic gymnastics programs through which they can develop overall fitness, coordination and concentration in a healthy and fun environment.

Twenty students from Holy Trinity Catholic High School, St. Anne and St. Martin de Porres Catholic elementary schools, were given $100 as part of a Kingdom Assignment on Nov. 16.

Anne and St. Martin de Porres Catholic elementary schools, have until April to raise funds for charities the Shepherds of Good Hope and Development and Peace.

SOCIAL JUSTICE The Kingdom Assignment ties into a new specialist high skills major program that was launched at Holy Trinity on Nov. 16.

The high school will now offer students in grades 11 and 12 the option of taking the social justice program in preparation for post-secondary education and employment.

Grade 11 student Christina Lapointe said through the social justice program, she’s able to get a credit doing what she loves to do.

“Having these opportunities…is really something I want to take from this program,” she said. “It allows students to have their voices heard – and more important, to change the world.”

“Together we will continue

the work highlighted by Mother Teresa,” said Rigucci.

The social justice program will “build a foundation of sector-specific skills,” he said, for students who are considering a career in the non-profit division. “This will prepare them for their chosen career.”

Grade 11 student Alex Baynes said before she enrolled in the program she was “ignorant of social injustices around the world.”

Now, she said she wants to help erase inequality.

“For me it has opened my eyes,” said Baynes. “We have a burning passion for people.”

Michaela DeCurtis, also in Grade 11, said the class is working to make changes.

“People might think we’re crazy for trying to make such a change,” she said. “But it’s the crazy ones who get things done.”

Holy Trinity is the first school in the board to offer the social justice program. The school also offers a health and wellness specialist high skills major program.

The peewee Kanata Rangers C won gold at the Kanata Girls Hockey Association competitive tournament in Kanata on Nov. 20.

Family Passport $15; Single $5

Rangers win gold KANATA RANGERS The peewee Kanata Rangers C won their second tournament in three weeks.

After earning two wins and a tie in the weekend’s round robin games against teams from Nepean, Ottawa and Lac St. Louis and Quebec, the Rangers played a very tough game against Nepean in the final. When the Rangers and the Wildcats were still locked in a scoreless tie after

two overtime periods, everyone was on the edge of their seats for the shootout when Kanata’s seventh shooter finally got one past Nepean’s goalie.

This year’s Kanata Girls Hockey Association competitive tournament was played at the Bell Sensplex and Scotiabank Place and featured 65 teams competing in 11 divisions.

JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

“That’s not cool!”

That was the message delivered by students from All Saints Catholic High School to those attending St. Isidore Catholic Elementary School during a bullying awareness event on Tuesday, Nov. 15.

The presentation was part of the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre’s (WOCRC) second annual bully awareness week, which ran from Nov. 14 to 18, in 10 different schools in the West Carleton, Kanata and Goulbourn area.

Drama and peer helper students from All Saints presented a half-hour worth of skits and a presentation on why bullying isn’t acceptable to the elementary children.

“We wanted to share a very important message about bullying awareness with you,” said All Saints teacher Oriana Laderoute to the assembly.

All Saints drama students Shayne Cowan-Chollette and Matt Brooks narrated the skits, which included different forms of bullying – calling people names, cyber bullying, excluding others and physical bullying – and showed the elementary students better ways to deal with bullies.

“Bullying is when you say mean words,” said Shayne.

In one skit, a student was called “retarded” for showing off a new Spiderman comic book.

Another student then called out the bully, telling her it was mean to use words like that. The R0021189079

“What do we say when we see a bully?” asked Shayne and Matt.

“That’s not cool!” yelled back the elementary students.

Seven-year-old Alora Chabot, in Grade 2 at St. Isidore, said it’s not OK to bully other people.

“Tell the bully to stop,” she said. “Tell the target to walk away and tell the teacher.”

Peer helpers from All Saints presented the school’s bully prevention program and options when dealing with bullies.

“You need to stay safe,” said one high school student.

“Tell someone,” said another student. “Keep telling until it stops…don’t give up.”

The Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre (WOCRC) hosted an art exhibit to raise awareness about violence against women from Nov. 15-17.

The Breaking Down the Walls of Silence exhibit is the brainchild of Maureen and Vivienne, who work at the WOCRC. Artists from across Ottawa submitted pieces relating to the issue of violence, the effects it causes and breaking free.

One painting, submitted by a 14-year-old, was particularly striking.

Half of a bleeding heart with a wing proclaims “Set yourself free baby.”

“It’s an expression about how you feel,” said Vivienne. “It’s very much so art being therapy.”

Kanata resident Diane Merpaw created two art pieces for the exhibit, “Dare I” and “A moment in time.”

A councillor and coach, Merpaw said she helps other women to pause, breath and reconnect with themselves.

“In essence, I help them

to come home to their beautiful selves,” she said in an email.

“Dare I” was inspired by the many facets of women, she said.

“When I see this painting I am inspired to ask, dare I show up in the world as I am? Dare I be whom I am, when I am constantly being bombarded by messages telling me how I am to show up in the world?

Dare I show my true colours? Why not, if not now then when?” said Merpaw.

“Embracing ourselves, our spirit, is (in) essence coming home to ourselves.

What better gift to give ourselves than the one of fully embracing our magnificent selves.”

Her second piece, “A moment in time,” was inspired by raw feelings of vulnerability.

“We all experience moments where we feel raw, feel vulnerable yet many of us keep it to ourselves for many reasons – afraid of what others may say or think, afraid they won’t love us, or simply afraid and have no where else to turn to but to simply fall on the floor and let it all pour out,” said Merpaw. “Do we,

On my journey, I have learned that vulnerability

is absolutely beautiful, refreshing and empowering.

Honestly, it is truly liberating to just be embraced by a moment in time.”

The exhibit showcased the journey through abuse and breaking the cycle.
