Showcase takes place March 29 at Sacred Heart High School Continued from page 1

That’s because this third annual Dance 4 Wishes Spring Showcase on Sunday, March 29 will be raising funds to support Tysen Lefebvre’s “Mission To A Million” for MakeA-Wish Eastern Ontario. Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario grants wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions. So, on the afternoon and evening of Sunday, March 29 at the theatre at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville, more than 80 dancers from Stittsville, Kanata and other local communities on the Pointe of Grace competitive dance team will be performing with their routines covering a variety of dance styles from ballet to jazz to hip hop to step dancing to lyrical to musical theatre. These dancers – both boys

and girls ranging in age from 7 to 17 years old – have been practicing and rehearsing for months, learning and improving their routines at the Pointe of Grace dance studios on Iber Road in Stittsville. This Dance 4 Wishes Spring Showcase will include two performances on Sunday, March 9 – a junior showcase at 1 p.m. and a senior showcase at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 per person per performance or $15 per person for both performances. Tickets can be purchased at the Pointe of Grace studios at 69 Iber Road, Unit 103 in Stittsville or by calling 613836-0557. Tickets will also be available for purchase at the door on performance day, Sunday, March 29. Amanda Leroux and Carly Sherwin, directors of the Pointe of Grace Dance Company, are proud that their

young dancers are helping to raise funds for such an inspirational cause of Tysen Lefebvre’s “Mission To A Million.” Tysen’s goal is to raise one million dollars for Make-AWish Eastern Ontario, enough to fund the granting of wishes for 100 kids. “We have been so thrilled to be able to help Tysen meet his goal,” says Amanda Leroux. “It means a lot that our dancers are able to do something that has a positive impact on other kids in our community.” Last year’s Dance 4 Wishes Spring Showcase raised $10,000 for Tysen’s “Mission To A Million” which was enough to grant one wish. Last November, members of Pointe of Grace’s junior competitive dance team performed at the annual MakeA-Wish gala. Following the team’s lyrical performance, the dancers helped present a

surprise wish to ten-year-old Emma whose dream involved going to Disney World. “It was so special to be a part of presenting Emma’s wish,” says Carly Sherwin. “We were able to meet Emma and be there to see her reaction. It was such a moving experience for all of us.” Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario is a non-profit charitable organization that grants wishes to children with life threatening medical conditions. These wishes are usually oneof-a-kind experiences for the children and their families, lifting the spirits of everyone involved. Stittsville’s Tysen Lefebvre himself launched his “Mission To A Million” campaign for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario after his own wish to meet actor Adam Sandler was granted in 2012. He wanted other children

City on track to blow snow removal budget Costs already $11M ahead of annual spending projection Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

The city’s snow removal costs are already $11 million ahead of where they should be to make it to the end of 2015 – and it’s only March. City treasurer Marian Simulik told a special committee of the whole on March 11 that as of the end of February, the city’s $57.6 million snow removal budget was trending towards a deficit for the second year in a row due to record-setting weather. “Because of the extreme cold, the

amount of salt that we were putting down and the amount of grit was significantly more than previous years,” Simulik said. That was compounded by the fact that Ottawa had 33 snowfall days in January and February (up from 24 during that time last year), meaning road crews had to redo all their work every second day. “You’d clear the roads, you’d salt, and 24 hours later you’d be clearing the roads and salting again,” Simulik said. As part of the special budget meeting, council approved a motion to put an extra $2 million in property tax revenue into the city’s winter

maintenance reserve fund. The extra money comes from a discrepancy in the draft budget’s property tax revenue assumptions and actual growth in housing values. The 2015 property tax growth will actually be 1.9 per cent, not 1.75 – putting an extra $2 million in the city’s coffers. Simulik said the winter maintenance reserve is a weak spot with only $2.1 million available – not enough by a long shot if the city does end up with a large snow removal overrun. “I know you’re not going to have enough in the winter maintenance reserve to cover the deficit if winter trends continue the way it is,” she

to have a similar experience and so launched his fundraising campaign to raise enough funds for the granting of 100 such wishes. So far, in just over a year, he has raised over $210,000, enough for the granting of 22

nity. “It means so much to our dancers to get up on stage and perform for their families and friends,” Amanda Leroux says. “It’s a great opportunity for our dancers to get some more experience on stage and

wishes. The Pointe of Grace Dance Company dancers are looking forward to this upcoming Spring Showcase not only to help Tysen’s “Mission To A Million” but also to showcase their dances for the commu-

told council. “It’s based basically on risk: where’s your biggest risk? That’s where it is, so that’s why we’re recommending it.” This year’s situation is trickier than 2014, when the $14 million snow removal deficit was paid off largely by one-time revenues: some contingency money for the legal dispute with Orgaworld, an addition payment from Hydro Ottawa, extra money from the Ottawa Community Lands Development Corporation and a few reduced operational expenses. “(We know) that we’re not going to get most of those one-time revenues again in 2015,” Simulik said. She said anything the winter maintenance reserve doesn’t cover will come out of the general capital reserve. The motion passed unanimously. Changes to the way the city deals

at the same time support a really great cause.” More information about Tysen Lefebvre’s “Mission To A Million” can be found at his website at www.missiontoamillion.ca

with winter weather may be coming. Operations general manager Kevin Wylie is already in the process of reviewing the city’s winter maintenance system to avoid deficit situations in the future, city manager Kent Kirkpatrick said. “The review will be looking at what are the current council service standards and the extent to which they’re being applied consistently across the city,” Kirkpatrick said. “Are they being exceeded; are they being not met in some areas? It will be a complete review.” Simulik suggested the assessment could prompt changes to base funding – the amount needed to cover contract obligations, equipment maintenance and other basic costs – and the way road crews actually carry out their work.

Kungfu Bistro bowls serves up soup Special to the News

News - Thirty litres of soup. A lot. And a gluten free soup at that. Unusual. All to help out the Ottawa Food Bank. Awesome. This is what Kungfu Bistro of Stittsville did as the restaurant participated in the tenth anniversary Great Bowls of Fire event at the Glebe Com-

munity Centre in Ottawa last Saturday evening. But an added challenge was suddenly thrust in front of Kungfu Bistro as it prepared the 30 litres of soup in its Stittsville kitchen last Saturday – the electricity went out. This, though, did not deter Kungfu Bistro from fulfilling its commitment to provide the soup of the Great Bowls

of Fire event. With the aid of flashlights, the Thai coconut curry soup was made and then transported to the Glebe Community Centre for the event. This Great Bowls of Fire event is a fundraiser for the Ottawa Food Bank hosted by the Ottawa Guild of Potters. Several hundred guests to the event choose a hand-made bowl and then approach one

of the participating restaurants at the event to fill up the bowl with soup prepared for the occasion. In the case of Kungfu Bistro, the soup being offered was the restaurant’s gluten free Thai coconut curry soup. This is a soup that contains high grade coconut milk, lean chicken breast and light yellow curry. Kungfu Bistro is one of a

small group of restaurants in the Ottawa area who were chosen to participate in this year’s Great Bowls of Fire event. Kungfu Bistro was the only Asian restaurant participating and was one of only two restaurants which served a gluten free soup at the event. Margarita Chen of Kungfu Bistro was at the event last Saturday evening to represent

the restaurant and to serve the soup. Last year the Great Bowls of Fire event raised over $20,000 for the Ottawa Food Bank. Funds are raised through admission tickets, the sale of extra bowls, a silent auction and a live auction, with all proceeds except for rental of the facility going to the Ottawa Food Bank.

Special-needs hockey tournament taking place in Kanata Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

When John Liitela scored his first goal in a hockey game, his fellow players piled on him in celebration and brought him to the bench to receive a round of high-fives. But it wasn’t his teammates’ gloves he was fist-bumping – it was his opponents, said Jim Perkins, cofounder of the Capital City Condors hockey club. “We had to wait because (the other team) took him over to their bench first,” he said with a laugh. That sort of reception from an opposing team rarely happens anywhere else but during the Special Hockey International Tournament where hockey players who can’t participate in mainstream hockey clubs due to special needs gather for a bit of competition, a whole lot of fun, and to celebrate the sport they love. This year, for the first time ever, the Condors are hosting the tournament in Kanata, which has grown to become the largest in the event’s history with 74 teams signed up to play. After saving up for three years, the club is honoured to host the tournament starting on March 18, said Perkins, with teams from across Canada, the United States, and England. It’s a tournament that Liitela, a Bridlewood resident, has grown to look forward to every year. With this one happening in his home town, the excitement has already started. “Lately he’s been just trying a little bit harder, skating a little bit faster because the tournament is coming up,” said Liitela’s father, Keijo. Liitela answers his dad’s comment with a smile, after finding he was too embarrassed to do an interview with

Metroland Media. Liitela became a member of the Condors about seven years ago, at the age of 18, said Keijo on his son’s behalf. “His first time on the ice they had to have him holding a chair and sort of pushing himself around the ice, and just after one time on the ice, he said, ‘I don’t want that chair anymore,’ and he eventually just learned how to keep his own balance and learned how to skate all by himself,” said Keijo. Having progressed to the Condors’ intermediate B-level team, there is nothing Liitela likes more than playing in refereed games against other

teams, and there’s no better venue for that than the Special Hockey International Tournament. But it’s not like the hockey you see elsewhere, said Keijo and Liitela’s mom, Carol. For one thing, there are no screaming, angry parents. Also, if you score a goal, it’s usually universally celebrated by both teams. And the workout isn’t just to keep the players active, but also helps to keep their medical issues at bay. Many Condors have ongoing medical issues, said Carol, and Liitela is no exception. In addition to having Down syndrome, Liitela also has congenital heart disease, said Keijo.

“He’s had two open heart operations, but you would never know looking at him,” he said. “He is fit. He is not on any medications or anything like that, but certainly being active helps both the lungs and the heart.” The tournament is also a chance to meet other hockey players of varying skill levels. There are three skill levels in the tournament, with the highest being the A level where the play has “a competitive edge,” but scores are an approximation with the aim of keeping everyone in the game, said Perkins. At the B level, play is stopped every three minutes to allow for line changes, and coaches are present on the ice to help the game along. The C level is for beginners, and there is also a mixed division where players of all levels can be brought together to make up more teams. Perhaps the one thing that differentiates the tournament the most is that there are no champions crowned at the end, said Perkins. “By nature, this is a tournament of inclusion as compared to a tournament of competition,” he said. All the teams are guaranteed four games each, while mutual respect, skill development and fun are prized. As the Condors hockey club has grown, more and more volunteers have been introduced to the world of special hockey where the competitiveness of the game is no longer the ruling force, said Perkins. “I think more people are seeing these kids and these families and we all win when that happens,” he said. The tournament will be played

Women still a long way from equality in the workplace

I

n the days following International Women’s Day, quite a few conversations popped up in social media and around the water cooler about women and work. It’s easy for men and women to get complacent in the West about feminism. Women have come a long way, from pay equity to gradually filling the gaps in middle management positions. But sadly, we are still a long way from equality in the workplace. The persistent divide between men and women remains glaringly evident in business, particularly in sectors that employ more women than men, such as retail. If you were to consider your most recent trip to the mall or the grocery store, chances are high you were served by a woman. Look a little closer, however, and you’ll see that women represent just 8.9 per cent of CEOs and one-fifth of the senior officers in the Canadian retail industry, a shockingly low number. Why, after decades of pushing, are women failing to get into top positions? The answer is multi-faceted. A 2013 report by the Network of Executive Women Canada found there continues to be “bias toward women’s abilities; lack of access to networking and mentoring opportunities; a persistent gender gap in wages and salaries.” Add to that the reality that the majority of women in Canada continue to

generally push for more in their work lives. There are a bulk of studies to back the theory that, when it comes to negotiating personal moves in business, women are more risk averse than men. A recent U.S. study by Mara Mather and Nichole R. Lighthall found gender differences are amplified under stress. “Male risk-taking tends to increase under stress, while female risk taking tends to decrease under stress,” summarizes Doug Sundheim in The Harvard Business Review. Sundheim goes onto point out, however, that risk-taking typically involves two key factors. First, what is the likelihood that the risk will hit strategic objectives? Second, what impact will the risk have on people involved? He goes onto say that women have a tendency to focus on the second point, carefully considering how their decision will impact others. While the latter point may have a negative impact on individual women, who are, say, negotiating for a higher salary, it can paradoxically offer enormous corporate benefit. Women, as leaders tend to be more collaborative and democratic. Considering others, collaborating and bringing together multiple points of view into corporate

BRYNNA LESLIE

Capital Muse bear primary responsibilities for child and elderly care – a situation the network’s research found few employers are addressing through work/life policies – and there are a lot of systemic things holding women back. Creating an environment for women to push into the C-suite, however, isn’t about blaming the system. Women, too, have a responsibility to speak up for themselves, and not accept the status quo. At a recent Women in the World Conference in San Francisco, former Sony Pictures Entertainment co-chairwoman Tina Brown made a startling statement when she admitted she had, as a business woman, frequently opted to pay women less than men, because women don’t ask for more money. “People want to work for less money, I’ll pay them less money,” said Brown. “I don’t call them up and go, ‘Can I give you some more?’” Brown was using the statement as a catalyst for women to take more risk and

decisions can have a positive impact on the bottom line. And while cynics may fear women-led companies may be less risk averse than those run by men, the research proves otherwise. The Network of Executive Women Canada reports, for example, that companies with women on boards generate significantly greater return on investment and higher revenues Women, that those without too, have a women. International responsibility Women’s Day may to speak be a few weeks behind us, but that up for doesn’t mean we themselves, should take our eyes off the prize. and not Women can step accept the up, be prepared to negotiate where it status quo makes sense and take the chance on promotions – or as Facebook CFO Sheryl Sandberg said, “lean in”-- but companies should also harness the power of feminism and lean in a bit, too. The only possible outcome is a positive one.

Price to be paid for low taxes

J

im Watson ran for re-election on a record of fiscal prudence, and the 2015 city budget is evidence that nothing much will change on that front. City council and the mayor have once again approved a budget that includes modest property tax increases, keeping the largest bumps to a mere two per cent. This restraint will see Ottawans’ wallets and quality of life take a hit in other places though, as fees were raised and services corralled. Transit fees will increase, taking money out of the pockets of those who can least afford it, and recreation fees will also increase, making swimming lessons and yoga classes more costly for all. At the same time, these fee increases will only maintain services at current levels, and won’t see residents get any more bang for their buck. With transit, this only adds insult to injury as bus routes were “rationalized� only a of couple years ago, making service less convenient for users. Adding to the burden, the property tax restraint has seen city staff and councillors forced into situa-

tions where they must decide which projects will be funded and which must be put off for another year. In south Ottawa for example, a play structure scheduled for replacement at Calzavara Family Park has been put off because the expected money isn’t available. It’s difficult to see why in an affluent city like Ottawa, where incomes are well above the national average and residents are highly educated, needs to be placed on a municipal revenue IV drip. Residents don’t want to see cherished services like parks, community centres, arenas, pools, and libraries fall into disrepair for years so that politicians can boast of their economic acumen. Down the road in Toronto, taxes are rising 2.25 per cent, which will provide funding for “important new investments in services and infrastructure,� according to Mayor John Tory, along with stable transit fares and free rides for children under 12. It shouldn’t take too much creativity for Ottawa to match such ambition, and wouldn’t cost tax payers too much more. It would just involve letting go of a bit of cherished dogma.

We just want our fair share here in Ottawa

W

hen you think about it, it’s rather amazing that Ottawa could be neglected by the very politicians who spend most of their time here. The thought arises out of a recent article about the travels of the prime minister. It is thought, perhaps not cynically, that the places he visits are those that have the most importance for him and his party in the coming federal election. With that in mind, considerable emphasis was placed on the fact that 20 of his 41 Canadian events since September have been in the Toronto area. No emphasis at all was placed on the fact that two of those 41 events took place in Ottawa. Well, of course it’s partly natural.

Plus, many of the people who live in those ridings are thought to be politically fickle: they will change parties at the gleam of a shiny election promise. Whereas here we are more stable.

politician is going to pay attention to us and promise us stuff. For them, Ottawa will always be the place where they go to meetings for a few days a week before heading out to the airport to resume the serious business of making promises to people in other places. Now, a couple of Ottawa ridings, Ottawa West-Nepean and Ottawa Centre, have been known, in recent history, to change parties. It’s not certain that they benefitted greatly from this. Perhaps you could argue that light rail in the west end is a benefit in which the feds were peripherally involved. As for Ottawa Centre, what? The Memorial to the Victims of Communism may have its virtues, but you can’t see a lot of votes changing hands because of it.

We don’t ask for much, here in the capital, just a few grand gestures that tell us we matter. A bridge, for example: what about a nice bridge over the Ottawa River for the longsuffering people who live out Nepean way? Nothing tells constituents they matter like a bridge. What else would we like? It doesn’t necessarily have to be something material. Sometimes just a little symbolism can go a long way – like the prime minister choosing a location in our city as the backdrop for a major policy announcement. Such symbolic initiatives need not come from the government alone. It would please us if one of the opposition parties choose an Ottawa backdrop – one of our Tim Hortons, say – to announce one of those homey little plans to comfort the middle class.

Pan Am Games torch relay route announced Flame in Ottawa for Canada Day More than 180 celebrations are set to take place during the 41-day journey of the Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games torch relay. More than 130 Ontario communities and five communities outside of Ontario will have the honour of hosting the Pan Am flame during community celebrations. As it makes its way to the opening ceremony of the Pan Am Games, the torch relay will visit six Canadian Forces bases, a national and provincial park as well as five First Nations communities, including the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation, the official host First Nation of the Games. The torch relay will also visit five national historic sites, including Fort Henry in Kingston and the Halifax Citadel. A detailed map is now available online highlighting each community, with the date and location for all of the community celebrations. “The Games are all about bringing people together, and the Toronto 2015 Pan Am

Games torch relay will unite Ontarians, Canadians and communities,” said Saad Rafi, chief executive officer of the Games organizing committee. The torch relay begins its journey when the Pan Am flame is lit during a traditional Aztec ceremony at the Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacan, Mexico, before landing in Canada on May 30. From Toronto, the flame heads to Thunder Bay on May 31 where it will visit the Terry Fox Monument before arriving in Nipigon, the most northern town on the Ontario leg of the journey. On July 1, the torch will take part in Canada Day festivities on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, providing a chance to celebrate and share the Pan Am spirit during Canada’s biggest birthday party. Three-thousand torchbearers will carry the flame through communities across Ontario as well as Richmond, B.C., Calgary, Winnipeg, Montreal, and Halifax. The torch will see more than 60 modes of transportation while touring through Canada and exceed 5,000 kilometres on the road and 15,000 kilometres by air. The torch relay will finish in Toronto on July 10, to light

Confederation Line West Light Rail Transit (LRT) Extension 100 Day Working Group Solution Open House Monday, March 30, 2015 Jean Pigott Place, City Hall 110 Laurier Avenue West 5 to 8 p.m. Presentation at 6:30 p.m. Further to the joint announcement between the City of Ottawa and the National Capital Commission’s (NCC) 100 Day Working Group, you are invited to an Open House to review and provide feedback on the proposed alignment between Dominion and Cleary Stations. At the Open House you will have the opportunity to view the preferred solution, which is to allow the City’s Confederation Line West LRT extension to run fully buried under the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway. This integrated transit solution meets the NCC’s criteria, while protecting the Byron Linear Park and Rochester Field, and meeting the City of Ottawa’s affordability requirements. It also advances the creation of a waterfront linear park. The Confederation Line West extension is one of three environmental assessment studies currently underway as part of Stage 2 (Ottawa.ca/stage2), the City’s plan to add 19 new stations and 30 kilometres of rail farther east, west and south of the City. Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accommodation, please call or e-mail the project lead below. If you are not available to attend the Open House or would like additional information, please visit the study web site at ottawa.ca/stage2 or direct your comments and questions to the contact person below. The Open House presentation material will be posted to the study web site.

March 13th, 2015 Building Better and Smarter Suburbs The City’s Planning Committee approved the Building Better and Smarter Suburbs: Strategic Directions and Action Plan and direct staff to use it as a framework for a multi-year work plan, in consultation with suburban Councillors and members of the sponsors working group. I have been involved in this City initiative from the beginning as there are a number of growing pains residents have experienced in suburban developments. There is a balance needed between density and ensuring the quality of life for the surrounding and future residents of a neighbourhood. I feel the City must learn from these issues and become proactive in ensuring proper development in our communities. As suburban densities continue to increase, in line with the objectives of the City’s Official Plan, there has been increasing spatial conflict involving utilities, trees, sidewalks, parking and snow storage. This document recognizes these conflicts and provides strategic directions to all City Departments with which to develop solutions, in cooperation with external stakeholders (utilities, telecoms, school boards, development industry). Despite the complexity of the items in this plan there are seven “quick wins” have been identified for implementation in 2015, including: 1. Incorporating dry ponds into park design; 2. Building traffic calming measures into a subdivision at the onset of development; 3. A need for better geotechnical information related to planting street trees in marine clay soil; 4. Reviewing the protocol for the early involvement of OC Transpo in the design of new subdivision plans; 5. Reviewing parking and setback requirements; 6. Adding information to purchase and sale agreements; and, 7. Completing the On-Street Permit Parking Policy Review. Three working groups (Streets, Parks, and Schools) will commence their work in 2015 and tackle the items in the Action Plan. Each group has been assigned specific action plan items to be completed in this Term of Council. The Building Better and Smarter Suburbs: Strategic Directions and Action Plan will assist the City in designing complete suburban communities that provide options for transportation, housing, employment, shopping, education recreation and social life, in a way that is land efficient and cost effective. This plan will provide high-level direction while maintaining flexibility and options for developing subdivisions within the urban boundary. For more information please visit: http://ottawa.ca/en/city-hall/publicconsultations/building-better-suburbs Please feel free to email me any comments or examples of improvements that you see should be made in new communities and could be reviewed by the working groups. Update on Road Closure in Blackstone Development In the Blackstone subdivision a temporary road access has been closed and residents have been redirected to a new travel route. The road section closed was an extension of Westphalian Ave between Dressage Ave and Rouncey Road. This section of road was always intended as temporary and as the blocks are planned for walkway blocks in the subdivision. Temporary road connection was permitted along the blocks for construction traffic in Blackstone Phase 1, but has also been used public as well. The closing of the temporary road is required as the adjacent lots will be under construction soon; the close proximity between the construction site and travel traffic will make it unsafe for both the crew and vehicles. The alternative route along Tapadero Ave, about 150 metres to the north, has been constructed with base course asphalt and this route will provide access for both public traffic and emergency services from Westphalian to Terry Fox. In the future, there will be another connection road along Groningen St. On-site signs will direct traffic flow to the right direction naturally. There have been concerns that the new route on Tapadero is not currently lit and it is anticipated the lights energized in the near future. Monarch has also advised noted that some new stop signs have been installed, including making the Rouncey/Westphalian intersection a three way stop, to encourage cars driving at a safer speed. City staff have already been in contact with the developer regarding concerns with construction vehicles impeding traffic on the new road connection of Tapadero. If you encounter any difficulties please let me know. City Council Passes 2015 Budget On Wednesday March 11th City Council unanimously approved the 2015 Operating and Capital Budgets, limiting the total residential property tax increase to 2 per cent, while moving ahead with significant city-building projects such as Light Rail Transit, Arts Court, and the Bayview Innovation Centre. The 2015 budget promises investment in affordable housing, community facilities and crime prevention, while keeping taxes and user fees affordable. The transit fare increase has been capped at 2.5 per cent and recreation fees will increase by no more than two per cent. The garbage fee remains frozen for a third consecutive year. For more information about the Budget, visit ottawa.ca/budget2015.

City council approves two per cent tax hike Strategic initiatives process will allocate $37.4 million by the summer Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

City councillors approved their 2015 operating and capital budgets on March 11, formalizing a two per cent residential property tax increase, an average 2.5 per cent transit fare increase and a six-per-cent hike in water and sewage rates. That translates into about $67 extra on urban property taxes and $55 for rural households, plus an added $48 per household in added water and sewer bills. The overall tax increase is 1.75 per cent, the lowest in eight years. But for community groups, organizations and project leads holding out for a piece of the

$37.4 million pot of undesignated money that’s been set aside for strategic initiatives, it could already be too late. “Staff have developed how we would recommend those funding envelopes ... be applied,” said city manager Kent Kirkpatrick. As it’s a new term of council, the councillors still haven’t set their top priorities for the next four years. Not wanting to pass a budget without those priorities properly covered off, staff set aside $32 million for capital projects and $5.4 million for operating expenditures to be carved out after the budget is in place. Staff drafted a list of council priorities for the next four years – from addressing homelessness to improving transit to cleaning up the Ottawa River – based on last term’s priorities, election campaigns and developing issues like gang violence. Kirkpatrick said the heads of the council’s standing committees will meet with staff in April to talk about their priorities, and then they’ll get the first crack

at making changes to the mini budget that he said has already been laid out. “They will look at the draft that staff has developed for their consideration and make changes in terms of what they would like to recommend to council as a whole,” Kirkpatrick said. The public will be able to have its say during committee meetings in June before the strategic initiatives plan goes to council in July. Staff were on hand at the special council meeting on March 11 to help clarify and direct debate on specific issues, but the budget passed without any new amendments, as most of that work was done in council committees in February and early March. Council also approved the Ottawa Public Library, Ottawa Police Services and Ottawa Board of Health budgets the same day. As delegations from the public weren’t allowed, the meeting progressed quickly with some debate and comments arising particularly around the transit

fare increase, which some councillors – particularly Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper – said will harm the city’s most vulnerable residents. But the biggest controversy of the meeting came at the very end, when rookie River Coun. Riley Brockington presented a motion to conduct a councillor survey on how the budget process might be improved going into 2016. Given that it’s a condensed year – last fall’s municipal election pushed the budget process back three months – staff will jump into next year’s budget process right away, likely presenting their 2016 budget direction to the finance and economic development committee in June. That leaves only about a month to conduct the councillor survey and still give staff enough time to analyze the results and work them into their 2016 plans, city treasurer Marian Simulik said. In the end, the motion was approved after an hour of procedural back-and-forth.

Richmond St. Patrick fireworks spread cheer Special to the News

News - It may have been fireworks to some but perhaps to others, it was like St. Patrick himself was spreading green shamrocks over the Richmond fairgrounds. That was the impression easily received as fireworks burst in the March darkness over the Richmond fairgrounds last Saturday at 9:30 p.m., with the resulting cascade of glittering green sparkles looking like a downpour of shamrocks from the sky. And there were plenty of these cascades of green during the seven minute long fireworks display which saw a continuous stream of fireworks zoom, swoosh or zip up into the sky, bursting forth with a bang and sending a cascade of colour earthward – often green but also red and other colours. There was no break in this fireworks action as one after the other zoomed skyward, some with thundering bangs while others swooshed or zipped their way to their zenith where they ex-

ploded into a cone of brilliance, illuminating the fairgrounds in the process. But this fireworks display, which wrapped up the annual St. Patrick’s Day community party hosted by the Richmond District Lions Club and the Richmond Agricultural Society at the Dining Hall at the Richmond fairgrounds last Saturday, March 14, may have been culmination of the party but the fireworks were certainly not the only highlight of the event. That’s because during the afternoon and evening, the Dining Hall was an Irish party in full swing with music, food, refreshments and, perhaps most important of all for any “Irish� gathering, lots of conversation and stories. Canadian fiddle champion Robbie Dagenais was there with his fiddle as was Kerry Vaillancourt with his guitar. Lions Club members dispensed the Club’s renowned bacon-on-a-bun, a treat that only happens once in a while but one which is well worth waiting for and enjoying.

For our Parents. For our Children. For Ourselves. Legacy of Mother Élisabeth Bruyère Continues to Grow.

It is a cold January night. A woman is stranded in a parking lot in west-end Ottawa. She is sure her car has been stolen. Going to a payphone, she calls home asking her husband for help. Her husband calls their son and within half an hour they are circling the parking lot in ever-widening circles. It takes a while but eventually they find the car parked in the furthest corner of the lot. It doesn’t make any sense. Why is the car way over there? Why can’t she remember the long walk across the cold pavement? How long was she in the store? The last couple of hours vanished into thin air. It is a night her son will never forget. Unfortunately, it is one she will never remember. It was a warning signal, but the signs were ignored, brushed under the carpet by the entire family. “It was just a senior’s moment.” Today she is in the full throes of dementia. Happy in her own way, but miles away from the woman, mother and wife she was just five years earlier. Did it have to be this way? Maybe. Is help available? Definitely.

1970: Spending time with her son. BRUYÈRE CONTINUING CARE The Bruyère Memory Program is just one of many programs designed to help seniors in Ottawa and throughout the valley. It is there to help diagnose early signs of dementia in the hopes of staving off the effects of this debilitating – and costly – disease. The senior population is growing rapidly. We are all getting older. It is likely you or someone you know will need the services offered at Bruyère. Bruyère does so much for the frail, the elderly and those requiring complex care;

• Bruyère is where a young father recovers from a stroke and goes home after seven months in rehabilitation. • Bruyère is the place where patients, young and old come to recuperate from major surgery. • Bruyère is where patients receive the special kind of care their fragile bodies and fertile minds require. BRUYÈRE RESEARCH INSTITUTE At Bruyère Research Institute, researchers and physicians work tirelessly in discovery of ways to improve patient care. Their work is done locally, benefitting patients in Ottawa and around the world. CONTINUING THE LEGACY

who supports Bruyère helps others just like she did. Ottawa is such a caring community and we are proud that the name Bruyère is associated with compassionate care.” Bruyère is there for all of us. To keep people home, to get people home, to rehabilitate, to teach and to learn. YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS When you support Bruyère, you are helping a woman find her car, a husband to walk again, a family to enjoy more time with their parents and you allow grandparents to enjoy more precious time with their grandchildren.

On another cold night, in the middle of February 1845, a young twenty-seven year old woman arrives in Bytown after enduring a two-day journey by horse-drawn sleigh from Montreal.

Support Bruyère

By May 1845, Mother Élisabeth Bruyère establishes Ottawa’s first hospital. Against all odds, she creates a legacy that grows strong today, 170 years later.

Bruyère Foundation

“Mother Élisabeth Bruyère is an inspiration,” says Bruyère Foundation President, Amy Desjardins. “Every donor

Historical Society meeting takes on Irish theme News - There’s an Irish theme to the March monthly program of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society being presented this Saturday, March 21, just four days after that most Irish of days, St. Patrick’s Day on Tuesday, March 17. The program will be held at the Stittsville Legion Hall on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville, getting underway at 1:30 p.m. Guest speaker will be Kevin Dooley who will talk about the construction of the Rideau Canal and the workers including the thousands of Irish who built it.

Mr. Dooley, a retired marine engineer from Ireland, was instrumental in having an historical plaque erected in June 2013 to honour the Rideau Canal workers. It was in 2008 that he asked the federal government to erect an historical plaque in honour of the workers who built the Rideau Canal. Nearly 1,000 workers had died while building the canal and he wanted to see them honoured. But the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada turned the request down twice, stating that these workers were of no historical importance. A public campaign ensued,

involving not only the media but also musicians and performers. The result was a reversal of the decision and there is now an historical plaque honouring these Irish workers whose labour built the Rideau Canal. Many of the Irish workers came from Ireland, travelling to Canada by ships that had carried timber from Canada to Britain and then returned to Canada with Irish worker immigrants. The Rideau Canal itself is both a national historic site and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Rideau Canal was built between 1826 and 1832. In total,

5,000 to 6,000 workers, mostly Irish but some French-Canadian as well as some Scottish stone masons and some British army soldiers, worked on the project, enduring unbelievably harsh and back-breaking conditions. It was built under the direction of Lt. Col. John By of the Royal Engineers. The Rideau Canal was originally built to assist in the defence of Canada by allowing boats to travel from Montreal to Lake Ontario without having to use the St. Lawrence River with American territory along its south shore. The Rideau Canal was opened in May 1832 and has been operating con-

tinuously ever since. It is a waterway that combines canals, rivers and lakes. It was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1925 and became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007, recognized as a work of human creative genius. It is 202 kilometers long, of which about 19 kilometers is man made. There are 45 locks in 23 lock stations along the main route plus two locks that link the Tay Canal to the Rideau. The Rideau Canal now operates as a recreational waterway. There will also be a musical part of the program with the musical group “Irons of Fire”

performing Irish music for everyone’s enjoyment. Kevin Dooley himself is a well known Irish entertainer, having performed at the Canadian Museum of Civilization. Indeed, he performed an assortment of traditional Celtic music for St. Patrick’s Day at the Friday music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville last Friday, March 13. Everyone is welcome to attend the March 21st meeting of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society. Admission is free and refreshments will be available following the program.

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

CHARITABLE GIVING WITH LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES - A WIN-WIN FOR BOTH FAMILY AND CHARITIES The use of life insurance in the context of charitable gifting at death will appeal to those who want to reduce or eliminate taxes at death and/or have a strong desire to make a larger bequest to one or more charities.

Life insurance is a popular, practical way to make a significant gift to CHEO. Your donation will be wisely administered through investments which will provide a stable source of income to CHEO for years to come. There are three main methods you can gift life insurance: by making a bequest of the proceeds of a life insurance policy through your Will; donating the policy during your lifetime at fair market value; or by naming CHEO as beneficiary and remaining as policy owner.

Here is a scenario where a mother owns purchase a permanent life insurance policy a family business and wishes to gift the for $500,000 and donate the proceeds to shares to her adult children through a charity through her Will. provision in her Will. She wants to eliminate This is a win-win for both her family and capital gains taxes of the shares payable the charity. She will own the policy during at her death. The taxable capital gains her lifetime and name her estate as policy reportable on the deemed disposition of beneficiary. She will direct that a gift in an shares on death is $500,000 and tax owing amount equal to the life insurance proceeds on this amount is $230,000 (base on a be paid to a charity named in the Will.

the estate value is preserved. In this case, premiums for the life insurance policy are paid with a relatively small percentage of the funds that would otherwise have been used to pay taxes owing. The use of life insurance in the context of charitable gifting at death will appeal to those who want to reduce or eliminate taxes at death and/or have a strong desire to make a larger bequest to one or more charities. This should be considered in the bigger context of planned giving options available to donors both during their lifetime and at death.

News - The retirement years can be fun. And one place where this will happen will be the new VIVA Retirement Community now under construction at the corner of Cedarview Road and Strandherd Drive in Nepean South (Barrhaven). When completed in early 2016, this retirement community residence will have 145 suites, with 108 of them being for independent living and 37 suites offering assisted living. Stittsville resident Dianne Hartson-Lalonde, community relations manager for this new VIVA retirement community in Barrhaven, told members of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville about the new facility at the Rotary Club meeting on Wednesday, March 11 in

Stittsville. She told how this new VIVA Retirement Community in Barrhaven will have, among other features, underground parking, a swimming pool, a cozy library with a fireplace, a golf simulator, a theatre and even a cafÊ where muffins and cookies will be available throughout the day. All meals – three per day - will be prepared and are included in the monthly fee. There will also be nursing staff in the building 24 hours a day. The aim is to allow residents to maintain and indeed increase their independence, Ms. Hartson-Lalonde said, adding that the goal is to try to make living at this new VIVA Retirement Community as much like

home as possible for the residents. There are various floor plans available, with costs ranging from $3,370 per month to $6,500 per month. This is an all inclusive cost, covering everything but a telephone land line. Ms. Hartson-Lalonde says that this new VIVA Retirement Community will be a “fun place,� although she admits that not everyone may be able to afford it. This new VIVA Retirement Community in Barrhaven will be the Canadian-owned company’s sixth retirement community facility. It has operated the Waterside Retirement Community in Carleton Place for six years now and also has facilities in Mississauga, Pickering and Vaughan.

Ever dreamed of belting out the national anthem in front of thousands of people? Now could be your chance. The Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group, the group that operates TD Place Stadium, has launched a search to find singers to perform the national anthem at RedBlacks, Fury and 67’s games. “We’re hoping to build a roster of quality singers that we can mix and match over each team’s season,” said Paul Prose, the game producer for the three teams. “Anyone can audition, but we do hope that singers try to keep their renditions of the anthem fairly traditional since the national anthem belongs to all Canadians, not just the one individual singing it.” OSEG invited singers in the Ottawa-Gatineau region to participate in a two-part audition for the chance to perform the anthem at home games. In the first round, candidates will have to film themselves singing

You may also participate in an online forum, which will be available through a live webcast of the presentations at www. OttawaCentralLibrary.ca. The broadcast will be available on March 31 at 7:00pm. After the presentation, participants will be given options for submitting their input online through April 6, 2015. The webcast will be available for viewing during the entire online submission period. Finally, you can visit the Main branch OPL at 120 Metcalfe St. from March 21-27, 2015 to write comments on an idea board located on the Ground floor. Children can also participate by providing input on a board available in the Children’s area on the second floor. And now a message from the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority…

Long-range weather forecasts indicate that temperatures will be generally cool through March with brief forays into the plus side. The minor amounts of melting that will occur during the warmer days will be easily contained in the snowpack keeping streamflows from increasing rapidly. Water levels on lakes and flows in the streams are below normal for this time of year. However, as conditions change through the spring melt process, water levels will increase and ice cover on lakes, ditches, local streams and rivers will become unstable posing potential safety risks. Caution should be exercised by everyone when near local streams and rivers. Parents should inform their children of the risks associated with increased flows and unstable ice conditions in area watercourses and provide appropriate supervision. RVCA will continue to monitor conditions and will issue conditions statements as warranted. If you have any comments, questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at Scott.Moffatt@ottawa.ca or contact me by phone at 613-580-2491.

ers to stick to the traditional way of the national anthem,” Campo said. “If you can stick to that, that’s what we want to hear.” The anthem must also be sung in both English and French, alternating between the two. Singers are not to “deviate from the standard melody,” or to “improvise or make changes to the words of the national anthem in any manner.” The guidelines also instruct singers not to chew gum during performances and to “dress appropriately.” Candidates must be over the age of 18, or have consent from a parent. This is the first year OSEG has held open tryouts for anthem singers, as last year auditions were by invitation only. Campo said OSEG is not planning to replace Staff Sgt. Brad Hampson, of the Ottawa police department, who sang the anthem at RedBlacks games last season. The group is just looking to add some singers to their roster as options, she said.

Another prolonged spring melt similar to last year appears to be in the works. The difference between this year and last year at this time is that, while the depth is about the same, the water equivalent is 25 percent lower. This is based on snow measurements completed by RVCA technicians on March 2nd. The snowpack covering the Rideau River watershed has an average depth of 35 centimetres with the water equivalent of 75 millimetres. Both of these measurements were slightly above what has historically been seen at this time of year. As shovellers know, all the snowfalls we have had have been very light, which means the density of the snowpack is low. This means that the present snowpack is capable of holding a lot of melt and rain that will slowly runoff and potentially reduce the flood risk.

O Canada and post the video online. Candidates will then have to register by sending an email to anthem@ tdplace.ca with their name, email address, telephone number, experience and a link to their audition video. A number of singers will then be chosen to advance to the next round, which will be a live audition on March 25. “We have about 60 game nights and days where we need an anthem singer and it’s a big commitment for one individual so we want to create a roster of singers to draw from,” said Sharena Campo of OSEG. The chosen singers that will make up the roster will not be paid, but will receive free tickets to the game they perform at, Campo said. OSEG released a set of guidelines for singers to follow when they perform the anthem. These included the duration of the anthem, which should be between 70 and 80 seconds, and that the song is “performed with enthusiasm and spirit.” “We really want sing-

Walk of the Cross Special to the News

News - When you hear the term “cross walk,” you might think of a street intersection with traffic lights to let you know when it is safe to walk across the street. On Friday, April 3, which is Good Friday, you will be able to experience a different kind of “cross walk” in Stittsville. It will be a walk in which a wooden cross will be carried

along Stittsville Main Street to re-enact the walk that Jesus Christ took in Jerusalem carrying His cross from the place where He was sentenced to death to the place where He was crucified. This “Walk of the Cross,” to which everyone is invited, will begin on Friday, April 3 at 9:30 a.m. at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church at the corner of Mulkins Street and Stittsville Main Street. It will then be carried along Stittsville Main

Street, making stops along the way at the Community Bible Church, St. Thomas Anglican Church and Stittsville United Church, a total of about two kilometers. There will be a brief time of worship at each church including scriptures, dramatic readings, hymns and prayers to remind participants of the events of the first Good Friday and to help deepen their own spiritual experience of the walk. Those attending will be invited to take turns helping to carry the wooden cross along the way. This “Walk of the Cross”

will be one of a number held throughout the area and indeed around the world, with the most renowned being the one along the Via Dolorosa (The Way of Sorrows) in the streets of Jerusalem. Everyone is invited to take part in this “Walk of the Cross” and share with others in the community in remembering the suffering and death of Jesus Christ in preparation to celebrate the joy and hope of new life on Easter morning.

The hall was a virtual sea of green at the weekly Thursday night euchre as everyone got into the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day which was still five days away. Carol Brown got the prize for the most spectacular “wearing of the green” while Joe Borsa won the evening’s basket. And while St. Patrick in legend rid Ireland of snakes, perhaps this same legendary power over the animal world might have been beneficial at the Lions euchre party as skunks appeared in great numbers during the evening. Indeed, there were four “skunks” during the evening, experienced by Brenda Sequin and Ginette Gourgon; Barry Briggs and Joe Borsa; Vivianne Lester

and Brenda Sequin; and Lois Elkins and Anne Temple. But all was certainly not “skunks” at the euchre. Shirley Beardsell led the way and finished up in first place with a sizeable 79 points. Right behind her was Anne Williams who had 78 points while third place went to Stephen Hodge with 76 points. So there were lots of points being compiled during the evening. Danielle Tyldsley had the hidden score with her 50 points while Henry VerHagen won the booby prize. Barry Briggs took home the door prize. Euchre parties continue every Thursday evening beginning at 7:30 p.m. at the Lions Hall on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. Everyone is welcome to attend to enjoy an evening of fun and fellowship playing euchre.

Irish music keeps coffee shop hopping John Curry News Staff

It’s billed as a music evening but when it involves Kevin Dooley, it becomes very much a music and story evening. And that’s what happened at the Friday music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville last Friday, March 13 as Kevin and his family (daughter Deirdre with bodhran, djembe and snare drum and son Ciaran with bodhran) presented an array of traditional Irish songs. Kevin also regaled the audience with stories about his Irish roots, the background of the songs and other things with an Irish connection such as the building of the Rideau Canal. You left the coffee shop that evening not only with your head filled with the sounds of traditional Irish music but also with your knowledge enhanced about the origins and history of Irish music and its arrival in Canada and the Ottawa Valley thanks to Irish migrants. Coming just days before St. Pat-

rick’s Day on March 17, this performance by the Dooley family was in essence an early celebration of the event. Indeed, the Gaia Java coffee shop was offering a special batch of St. Patrick’s Day squares, tasty and green, while Gaia Java staff members Linda Gilmour and Kate McDonald both sported green attire for the evening. Kevin, who plays the flute and tin whistle as well as sing, opened the performance with a couple of jig and hornpipe tunes which not only set the musical stage for this Irish celebration but also, as Kevin said, got his flute warmed up. And then it was on to more traditional Irish/Celtic musical tunes, with Kevin on the flute accompanied by his daughter Deirdre and his son Ciaran on their Irish drums. He explained the antiquity of Irish music and culture, with the music surviving over the centuries by being handed down by ordinary people. See PARTY, page 35

Party celebrates St. Pats early And so the evening went along – Kevin and his family playing Irish tune after Irish tune, some being instrumentals while others saw Kevin sing. And, in between, there were stories and explanations provided by Kevin. He told how Irish immigrants working in the logging camps of the Ottawa Valley introduced Irish music and dancing there, which when combined with fiddling resulted in the Ottawa Valley genre of music that is so familiar today. Kevin told how a song “The Wearing of the Green� which was done by Johnny Cash and June Carter in the 1970’s, was really a song that went back several centuries to a time when people were actually punished for wearing Irish green. This drove Irish culture underground. There was another song telling the story of the Irish uprising in 1798 against the landowners and another that became famous in the Irish rebellion of 1916. Kevin told how flutes and

drums were part of the Irish musical culture and he and his family played a collection of ballads demonstrating the flute/ drum sound. Kevin comes from a musical family back in his Irish homeland. He explained that his father was known as a great dancer while his grandmother was a well known fiddler. His grandfather would call the dances at which his grandmother fiddled. So, with all of this dance heritage, it is not surprising that Kevin included several reels in his performance at the Gaia Java shop. Kevin was instrumental in obtaining formal recognition of the contribution of Irish workers in the building of the Rideau Canal and so it was not surprising as well that he told a little about these workers during his performance. He noted how there were about 10,000 Irish workers who helped construct the canal, about 90 percent of the total work force. Of these, about 1,000 died. He told how they had come to Canada as a result of famine conditions back in

Ireland, noting that while 1847 is the best known and perhaps worst of the famine years in Ireland, there were also famine conditions in 1826 when the canal construction was starting. So, you see, this performance by Kevin Dooley and his family was a lot more than just music – it was an example of Irish storytelling at its best. And the Irish are great talkers and storytellers as Kevin himself acknowledged. He told how when he was back in Ireland, even he could hardly get a word in during conversations there. “They talk all the time,� he said about his countrymen. This performance of the Dooley family at the Gaia Java coffee shop last Friday was embellished with the addition of guest singer Niamh (Neeve) O’Byrne whose lilting Irish vocals of a couple of old Irish folk songs revealed the beauty of Irish music. Neeve grew up in Dublin and has come to Canada, first to Vancouver and now living in the Ottawa area. She is just starting to get back into performing after the birth of a baby just five weeks ago.

Findlay Oval meant so much during Depression years

t had darkened early that mid-winter day, with the sun dipping below the west hill just as we were finishing our supper. Audrey lit two coal-oil lamps, putting one in the middle of the kitchen table, and the other on the washstand that served as a place for our winter mitts, scarves and extra socks. My three brothers did the usual chores that had to be done every night after supper. Everett filled the wood box, stacking it high from the wood piled in the summer kitchen. Emerson gathered up the few scraps from the table and fed Sport, who was eagerly waiting at the back door, well aware of what was coming his way. Earl got down on his hands and knees, and pulled the big white granite basin out from under the icebox and emptied the water into the reservoir of the Findlay Oval.

MARY COOK Memories Audrey and I cleaned up the kitchen, washing the dishes, drying them with the flour-bag tea towels, rubbing the red and white checkered oilcloth, making sure it was spotlessly clean, and ready for what would be a couple hours of pastimes that kept us busy until it was time to climb the stairs for bed. It was my favourite time of day. It would be a couple hours before we would go upstairs, and the time would be spent sitting around the kitchen table, each of us doing what we liked to do best when the day was done.

Mother at one end with her diaries and scrapbooks spread out before her, and the rest of us amusing ourselves in any way we wished. That night I sat on the bench under the window that looked out onto the grape arbour. I could feel a draft, and so I had taken a blanket that was always folded at the end of the creton couch and wrapped it around my shoulders. Like everyone else, my feet were tucked into handmade felt slippers. And I could feel the most delicious warmth and contentment as I looked around that old kitchen. Everything was so familiar and so much a part of our everyday lives. Father had moved to the rocking chair in front of the Findlay Oval, and his feet were up on the cushion on the opened oven door. His papers were around him, and his pipe hung loosely in his mouth.

Findlay Oval, and it was as if I was looking at it for the first time in my life. I mentally counted all the uses we had for the stove, and I wished longingly that I knew how to write, so

that I could put down on paper what the old stove meant to us out there in Northcote. Of course, there was the reservoir at one end. It supplied us with all the hot water we used in the house: our Saturday night baths, the Monday washings, scrub water, and the water we had just used to wash up the dishes. And it was where, when we had a stuffed-up nose, or Mother thought we were getting a cold, we sat close, on a chair, with our heads under a sheet, breathing in the steam from the reservoir. It was the Findlay Oval that made our toast in the mornings. The tin toaster sat over the front burner that had been removed, and four slices could be toasted at one time. See PIPES, page 37

German favourite a twist Pipes snaked through the house on traditional burger Continued from page 36

These juicy, ground Ontario veal sausages are patty-shaped. Rather than being boiled as in the German original called weisswurst, they’re tucked into buns after grilling. Another popular German sausage dish called currywurst, lends its irresistible curried tomato sauce for spreading on the buns. You can also cook the burgers in a skillet with 15 ml (1 tbsp) vegetable oil. Preparation time: 20 minutes. Cooking time: 25 minutes. Serves 12 as an appetizer or six as main course. Ingredients

• 500 g (1 lb) ground veal or ground turkey • 4 slices naturally smoked bacon, very finely chopped • 1 medium apple, peeled, cored and

grated (Cortland, McIntosh or Spy) • Half a red onion, finely diced • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced • 15 ml (1 tbsp) fresh parsley, coarsely chopped • 10 ml (2 tsp) Dijon mustard • 1 egg, lightly beaten • Salt and pepper Curry sauce

• 50 ml (1/4 cup) ketchup • 15 ml (1 tbsp) unsweetened applesauce • 5 ml (1 tsp) curry powder • 5 ml (1 tsp) cider vinegar • 12 small rolls or 6 large rolls • Half a red onion, thinly sliced • 6 lettuce leaves Preparation

And it was that same burner that Mother lifted to singe the chickens before they were stuffed and put in the oven for our Sunday supper, and that night I thought of the popcorn that was so often a treat on a cold winter’s night and made on the Findlay Oval. All along the very top of the stove was the warming closet. It was seldom used for food, because as soon as a meal was cooked, we were more than ready to sit around the old pine table and dig into it. But it was a wonderful place to dry wet mitts, or heat a towel to wrap around a wet body after our Saturday night bath.

salt and pepper to taste. Divide evenly into 6 or 12 portions, and form into patties. Place the patties on a greased grill or grill pan on medium-low heat. Close the cover and cook for five minutes. Turn and cook covered for 15 to 20 minutes, turning at least one more time, until a digital meat thermometer inserted sideways into the centre reads 71 C (160 F) for veal or 85 (185 F) for turkey. For the curry sauce, combine the ketchup, applesauce, curry powder and vinegar, and spread the mixture over the bottom half of each bun. Top with patty and serve with thinly sliced red onion and lettuce leaf.

Always, and that night it was no different, Father had put blocks of wood around each side of the stove, and our galoshes and rubber boots were propped against the wood to dry out over night. And I knew that when I put on my galoshes in the morning to go to school, my feet would feel that delicious heat long after I had left the house for the three-and-ahalf-mile walk to the Northcote School. stiff as boards

In the winter time, when Mother would bring in the freshly washed laundry from the clothes line, stiff as boards and frozen solid, a wood clothes rack Father

had made would be folded out before the Findlay Oval, and that night, even though it wasn’t a wash day, I felt I could smell the sweetness of those frozen clothes that seemed to go right through the house as the clothes dried from the heat of the stove. And of course, it provided us with the only warmth we would have, with its pipes snaking through the kitchen and poking through the floor upstairs.   That night how I wished I could write so that I could put down on paper all that the Findlay Oval meant to us during those Depression years. It would take me forever to print the words. I guessed I would just have to rely on my memory.

OC Transpo slammed for sole-sourcing Patrick Longchamps

patricklongchamps@gmail.com

Ottawa’s auditor general said the city should have used an open bid process to outsource its lost and found program. Auditor general Ken Hughes tabled his annual report to the audit committee on March 12. Two of the six audits concerned OC Transpo, the most contentious being the sole source contract with the non-profit group Heartwood House which has been handling the transit company’s lost and found service for the better part of 15 years. The other audit criticized OC Transpo for its cancellation notification system, which tells passengers when buses are delayed or cancelled. “Since 2001, OC Transpo lost and found has been managed under a sole source contract, non-

profit organization that has cost the city approximately $600,000,” said Hughes. That works out to about $43,000 a year, instead of the $71,500 it used to cost to do it inhouse, said John Manconi, the general manager of transit services. The sole-source contract was justified as a pilot project in 2001, and then it was rationalized again when it was renewed in 2004 based on “the specialized expertise that Heartwood House has developed,” the report said. The auditor said the city should have been issuing requests for proposals to fairly assign the lost and found contract – something Manconi said was done in 2009 for the $245,000 contract that ended in 2013. The auditor also found the agreement should have included a more stringent insurance clause; the 2009 agreement had a $1-million insurance

Q: How old are the children you foster? A: I care for sibling groups aged between zero and fourteen.

clause, while the city’s standard for the 2001 agreement had been for $2 million. “It’s certainly unusual to have a sole-source contract of that nature; it’s unusual to have an important relationship with a supplier when you have no assurance that they’re going to continue to have the ability to provide that service to the city of Ottawa,” said Hughes. A new request for proposals process was initiated for the contract’s renewal in late 2014. The audit also highlighted a potential or actual conflict of interest when a city employee on the file was personally connected to someone from Heartwood House. When asked about the connection between the two, Hughes said he couldn’t comment on the exact nature of their relationship. “It would be because a family related relationship of a city of Ottawa employee and someone who had a relationship with the organization that was handling the lost and found process,” he said. Management said the employee had told them in 2004 that there was a conflict of interest, during their time working on the sole-sourced contract, when Heartwood House was looking for more money. The non-profit needed more to cover the operating costs of their program. On two other occasions the management of this employee was poorly handled according to the report. The employee was advised by superiors to stop their involvement in the contract in June 2011. The employee failed to follow their advice.

In January 2014 the employee once again mentioned the conflict of interest but continued to work on the file. The employee mentioned above is no longer working on this file, staff said. The auditor general also expressed surprise that, until last year, OC Transpo employees had a long-standing practice of keeping unclaimed lost and found items. Heartwood House said on its website it receives more than 30,000 items each year, and 26 per cent are returned to their rightful owner. Some items are auctioned off in support of the charity, but the rest were available for employees to claim after a period. “The minute we found out about employees getting things back for themselves we ceased that,” said Manconi. PICK UP THE PACE

The second OC Transpo issue in the auditor general’s report was the transit service’s inefficient and sometimes ineffective cancellation notifications system. OC Transpo uses its website or Twitter account to alert passengers of cancellations of any of the routes across the city. During a survey period between May 1 and 15, 2014, found the notification of a cancelled route would arrive late a third of the time. Thirty-three per cent of cancelled routes would send out its alert after the cancelled bus was already supposed to have arrived. “I think the purpose of the notification system is to allow people to change their plans and give them enough time to make alternate arrangements,” said Hughes. “If that notification comes one-minute or 20-minutes after the bus was suppose to arrive then it is of little value.”

Learn about the history of the Jock River Race on April 7 Special to the News

News - The annual Jock River Race happens on Saturday, April 11 but you can learn about its history several days beforehand at the next general meeting held by the Richmond Village Association (RVA). At this meeting on Tuesday, April 7 at 8 p.m. at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre (arena) hall in Richmond, Ian Mockett, one of the organizers of the Jock River Race, will be on hand to tell about the race’s history over the years and to talk about the race’s significance to the community.

This race, which dates back to 1971, was originally held on the Jock River from Richmond down-

stream. Since 1996, the race course has been upstream from Richmond, with the finish line at Jock River Park in Richmond. Over the years, the race has attracted anywhere between 80 and 140 canoes and kayaks. Sponsorship of the race was initially done by the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority and then by the Richmond and District Kinsmen Club and subsequently by the Manotick Lions Club before the race was co-sponsored by the city of Nepean and Goulbourn township in 1993. The township of Goulbourn carried on with sponsorship of the race until municipal amalgamation in the year 2000, with the new city of

Ottawa continuing the race sponsorship until 2003 when a group of volunteers led by John Hiley of Richmond took over organization of the race. The 2014 Jock River canoe/kayak race attracted 91 entries with 150 participants in total. This 2014 race had initially been cancelled but a couple of months before the race date, Ian Mockett and Gaetan Plourde approached Mr. Hiley and received his blessing to take over organization of the race. Gaetan Plourde and Ian Mockett are no strangers to paddling races as last year they also organized the first-ever Kingston to Ottawa paddling race following the Rideau Canal that was held in August.

With a team of volunteers, the Jock River Race went ahead last year on a wet, cold and muggy Saturday, April 26. A late arriving spring had delayed the race which had originally been scheduled for Saturday, April 12, with the race date moved back on the calendar by two weeks. Since 1996, the 12.6 kilometer long race has started on the Jock River at the Munster Road south of Franktown Road. From this start line, there is a shallow rapid a few minutes downstream, followed by a chute of fast water. The river then flows through open fields and farmland for several kilometers before several sharp bends signal the beginning of the Richmond Fen wet-

“That was way to easy!�

land through which the river runs. When paddlers see a railway line on the south side of the river, it means the end of the Richmond Fen, with the river widening out considerably. This is followed by a long set of rapids followed by another set of rapids before the finish line at the Jock River Park in Richmond comes into sight. Besides the presentation on the annual Jock River Race, the RVA meeting will also feature a status update and overview of the activities and participation at the new Richmond Youth Drop In Centre program in Richmond. Everyone is welcome to attend this RVA general meeting on Tuesday, April 7.

Medical team arrives home from inaugural Ebola mission Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Thirty-seven military personnel arrived in Ottawa late last week after waging a different kind of battle overseas. The team of doctors, nurses, medical technicians, physician assistants and support personnel – the majority of them from 2 Field Ambulance and 1 Canadian Field Hospital at CFB Petawawa – spent more than two months in the West African nation of Sierra Leone providing medical care to local and international health-care workers infected with or exposed to Ebola, a rare but often deadly viral disease that has no cure. “They were treating healthcare workers who had or were suspected to have Ebola virus disease,� said Maj Nicole Meszaros, spokeswoman for Canadian Forces Heath Services, who is based at the National Defence Medical Centre in the Riverside Park community of Ottawa. Their mission, known as

Operation Sirona, was groundbreaking in many ways. “We definitely do humanitarian missions, but they tend to have medical support included in those. But they also tend to have other elements like engineering components (within) those task forces,� Meszaros said the day the military members flew in to the Canada Reception Centre at the Ottawa MacdonaldCartier International Airport on March 6. “But this is the only one in recent memory that’s been exclusively medical.� The Canadian Armed Forces team first underwent predeployment training at CFB Petawawa for the mission before flying out from CFB Trenton to the United Kingdom on Dec. 6. While in the U.K., they underwent extensive preparation at an army medical training centre outside York, practising decontamination techniques and medical procedures, such as taking blood samples while wearing full protective gear,

including face shields. Ebola is a potentially deadly viral infection that can lead to internal bleeding and organ failure in humans and animals, according to Public Health Ontario. The virus is largely spread by direct contact with infected bodily fluids and contaminated objects, rather than through casual contact, the Canadian Red Cross said on its website. While there, they also learned from experts in infectious disease, including Ebola, as well as from health-care workers who have experience on the ground in Sierra Leone. The Canadian military personnel also put their training into practice at a mock Ebola medical treatment facility. Their lessons included language and cultural training. In late December they deployed to the Kerry Town Treatment Unit, located just outside Freetown, Sierra Leone’s capital city. The unit is part of a larger complex that was opened by the British last November to contain

the spread of Ebola in Sierra Leone, where transmission of the disease continues to be widespread. The current outbreak is said to be the deadliest since the discovery of the virus in 1976. There have been more than 23,900 reported confirmed, probable and suspected cases of Ebola, and more than 9,800 reported deaths, largely in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea, according to the World Health Organization’s most

recent statistics. The outbreak has overwhelmed clinics and healthcare workers in West Africa, and has had major economic impacts, according to Canada’s Department of National Defence, which also stated that the spread of Ebola has impacted 12 of 13 districts in Sierra Leone. Hospitals are overwhelmed by Ebola patients, schools have been closed, children have been orphaned and sev-

eral communities are experiencing food shortages due to soaring prices and a lack of farm labour to harvest crops, according to the Canadian Red Cross. “They took every precaution to make sure nobody contracted Ebola virus disease,� Meszaros said of the Canadians and their British counterparts.

wear the equipment,” Meszaros said. “They would lose a kilogram of water in an hour.” Before leaving Sierra Leone, the Canadians were replaced by another group of Canadian military medical personnel on Feb. 20. The replacements flew out of CFB Trenton on Jan. 29 and will spend the next two months working alongside the British. “They’re truly a composite team from units across the country,” said Meszaros of the second team. Minister of National Defence Jason Kenney, who welcomed the military members at the Canada Reception Centre, said in a statement the operation demonstrates the “exceptional capabilities” of Canada’s military. “I greatly appreciate the work done by our Canadian Forces personnel in their important humanitarian mission to combat the spread of Ebola,” he said. “Canada is deeply committed to global efforts to contain the spread of Ebola.” A third contingent of Canadian military personnel will prepare in the coming weeks to deploy overseas to Sierra Leone and replace the second medical team.

Canada’s efforts to combat the Ebola virus include supporting a phase three clinical trial of a Canadian Ebola vaccine in Guinea led by the World Health Organization. Testing the vaccine’s effectiveness to prevent the spread of the potentially deadly disease began on March 7, the health organization recently announced. The vaccine was devel-

oped by the Public Health Agency of Canada. Trial results are expected by the end of the year. The testing phase comes on the heels of “promising data” from initial clinical trials conducted late last year, according to the WHO. There are plans to test a second vaccine in an upcoming study. “If a vaccine is found effective, it will be the first preventive tool against Ebola in history,” WHO Director-General Dr. Margaret Chan, said in a statement.

Skills learned at camp are then transferred to the classroom during the regular academic year. Attendance at a summer camp teaches children to work together more cooperatively, to resolve conflicts more effectively, to assume greater responsibility, and to become more self-reliant and self-confident. We are convinced that it is critical for children to be involved in structured activities during the summer months. A well-run camp programme provides the child with learning experiences that are not possible in a traditional classroom. Summer camp is one of the few places where children can experience and satisfy their need for physical activity, creative expression, and true participation in a

Going to camp gives the child much more than a vacation. Living, playing and sharing adventures together help the child develop into a healthy, physically fit and

productive adult. At camp, children gain self-confidence and self-esteem, and learn social skills of positive interaction that stay with them for a lifetime and spill over into other parts of their lives. The new skills they have mastered and the social and emotional growth they have experienced help them become more successful in school and in other activities. In our technological society which encourages passive forms of entertainment rather than active involvement, summer camp provides a unique opportunity for children to experience a different way to play. Participation in outdoor activities builds healthy bodies but also healthy minds.

More reasons why every child should go to camp Camps Canada

Camp is a place where positive memories are made that last a lifetime If adults that have attended summer camps as children are asked what their fondest childhood memories are, it is often found that they recollect and share their camp memories. Camp memories are created every year because of the great experiences shared by campers while at camp but more importantly because of the other campers and staff who share those experiences together with them. Long after campers “graduate” from the camp experience, after they say that last goodbye on the last day of their last year at camp, they fondly recall the cabin-mates and counsellors that provided them with the activities they experienced every summer. • Camp is place where “lifelong learnables” are learned In this age of hockey practices, piano lessons, MCAT preps, computer courses, and math tutors, all of which can be important features in a

child’s development, camp offers the venue to learn the “bigger” skills – the ones that can’t be learned in any classroom. Ask yourself if you feel that taking turns is a skill… how about being nice to people around you… what would you say about working as a team – is that a skill? Camp is a place where these skills and so many more are “practiced” so regularly but in a way in which campers don’t even realize this is happening. meaningful

The camp environment, free from the regimented systems of many other learning environments, is in fact a place where children learn… but in a way that is comfortable and meaningful, and whose lessons are arguably the most important a child will be taught in their entire life. • Camp is a place where strong relationships are formed Although no formal study has been done, there is an oft used statistic kicked around by camp directors these days.

Many of us have observed that many of the weddings we are being invited to are between campers that attended our camps decades prior and that the frequency of divorces in these marriages are staggeringly low. Now this can be a very unnerving thought for first time camp parents sending their little six year old off to day camp for the first time but it does illustrate a very important point: it appears that as a result of the depth of experience of attending summer camp, the relationships formed there are stronger and more meaningful than most others formed in a child’s lifespan. This is not to say that parents should send their children to camp in hopes of them finding a spouse! However, when children play together, laugh together, are challenged together, sing together, and live together, what ends up happening is that they grow together and with that grow closer to one another learning the values of friendship and community in a way that cannot be duplicated in other summer settings.

• Camp is a place where campers enjoy the outdoors Ontario is beautiful country and nothing inspires its discovery more than the camp experience. Whether campers are hiking through forested hills, swimming in freshwater lakes, gazing at the setting sun, playing in open fields, or meeting its friendly wildlife, camp’s everyday activities often give rise for a love of this land. The direct impact of this is an evident environmental conscientiousness among

campers who learn to clean up their mess when at camp. But the larger, and equally important result is a greater social consciousness in children, and an awareness that they are a part of something bigger… that their actions affect others in both the short and long term. • Camp is a place where campers find balance Regardless of a particular camp focus, camp activities often balance competitive and cooperative, land and water, outside and in the shade, athletic and creative.

When we get too hot, we get a drink of water and go into the shade. When we’ve been playing a lot of team sports, we refocus on individual challenge and achievement. The concept of balance is one often spoken about, but seldom modelled for young people today. We often find ourselves commenting in front of our children how we wish we could work less, sleep more, eat better, and exercise more frequently… At camp, balance is practiced and as a result enjoyed by its campers.

Let’s get our teenagers moving in Ontario Canadian teens need to increase their physical exercise every day for a lifetime of good health. Research from ParticipACTION, the national voice for physical activity and sport participation in Canada, shows that only four per cent of Canadian kids aged 12 to 17 get enough heart-pumping exercise on a daily basis. Are you concerned about the teens in your life? To address this growing issue, Participaction Teen Challenge, sponsored by Coca-Cola Canada, encourages teenagers to establish healthy habits for life and that includes fostering social interactions that build their confidence and self-esteem. The program helps to remove the barriers that prevent physical activity – namely cost and accessibility – providing teens with access to the equipment, facilities, instruction, or the transportation needed to get active. Teen Challenge gives community organizations in On-

tario access to micro-grants that enable this age group to get active and have fun in ways that mean something to them. The community groups work with local teens to identify needs within their neighbourhood and come up with solutions to meet them. The successes of Teen Challenge are exemplified by numerous success stories in Ontario, such as the CrossFit Club for students at Lincoln M. Alexander Secondary School in Mississauga. Kickstarted with a micro-grant in 2013, the club has doubled in size since it began. The program introduces teens to CrossFit’s all-ornothing exercise culture and gives them a chance to compete in an actual CrossFit gym competition. Focusing on providing special access, the club offers girls-only options, including a weight training club and lunchtime fitness classes for female students.

#%"( ) *# ) #

“The beauty of Teen Challenge is that it empowers our youth to be creative and come up with physical activity ideas that suit their peers, in their local neighbourhoods,� says Elio Antunes, president and CEO of Participaction. “Once teenagers get active and participate in regular physical activity, it can help them to do better in school, to grow stronger, feel happier, improve their self-confidence and learn new skills. A program of this kind can do so much good.� The Lincoln M. Alexander CrossFit Club has been able to make a significant difference in the lives of teenagers in that community, Antunes points out. It is empowering them to take control of their health. If you are a communitylevel organizer in Ontario additional information is available at www.participaction. com/teenchallenge, where you can also apply for a micro-grant.

Head out west for a thundering food time (NC) - Western Canada is calling your name for an experience your kids will never forget—the chance to see the iconic bison, or buffalo, the very symbol of the Wild West, thundering across the prairie grasslands. The bison are back on the Canadian Prairies after aggressive efforts to restore the herds after near extinction 100 years ago. Visiting one of their natural habitats in Alberta, Saskatchewan or Manitoba national parks, where bison now roam, is sure to delight the entire family. Consider visiting Elk Island National Park near Edmonton, the source herd from which nearly every plains bison in southern Canada can

trace its ancestry; or Prince Albert National Park north of Saskatoon or Grasslands National Park in southern Saskatchewan—each of these parks features large herds of bison. Smaller herds can also be seen at Riding Mountain and Waterton Lakes national parks. July through September is mating season so who knows what shenanigans these enormous mammals will be up to. Watch the bulls compete for the cows and display a variety of behaviours to impress the cows and intimidate each other. During the “rut” the bulls are more aggressive and less cautious of vehicles and people. Watch and listen for behaviours including wal-

There are reasons to think summer now While it may seem like spring has just sprung, summer will be here before you know it. According to the education experts at Oxford Learning, that means that it’s time to start thinking about summer learning plans. “Summer learning is a critical – and often overlooked – part of students’ learning. By planning for summer learning now, parents will help their children avoid the summer learning brain drain,” says Nick Whitehead, founder and CEO of Oxford Learning. He offers these five reasons why planning for summer learning this spring is so important: 1. Summer is going to be here soon. Spring may have just begun, but before long,

sents a huge amount of wasted learning opportunities, and it means that students are not up to their potential from as early as the first day back to class. 4. Kids want to learn in the summer.  Research in summer learning studies shows that 56 per cent of students want to be involved in a summer program that helps them keep up with summer schoolwork or prepare for the next grade. 5. Summer programs fill up fast. Most programs are already accepting applications and taking reservations for summer enrolment.  Schools, camps, and supplemental tutoring facilities such as Oxford Learning are no exception.

students will be studying for exams and handing in their final term projects, which means that it’s not too early to think about what kids are going to be doing this summer. 2. Summer can undo what children are learning right now.  Without maintaining learning momentum and study skills over the summer break, students easily forget everything they’re working hard to learn right now, which means that next year, students need to repeat the same workbooks and materials they are learning right now. 3. Summer can have an impact on how children learn next year. After a summer off, it can take kids up to three months to get back into the swing of learning. That repre-

Parents who are looking for a specialized camp for their sports-mad children next summer have lots of choice. More and more businesses and summer camp managers have developed expertise in order to offer programs specifically adapted to the expectations of young athletes. By participating in a sports day camp, a child can acquire techniques and knowledge which will be very profitable when the time comes to return to regular activities with the hockey, basketball or volleyball team next fall. Hockey is still one of the most popular sports during the summer. One or two weeks at a specialized summer school will allow young hockey players to develop their abilities and improve their play thanks to the advice and supervision of a qualified team of instructors. Apart from training sessions on the ice, the program usually includes off-ice exercises, video sessions and other recreational activities. Over the years, soccer has gained so much in popularity across the country that many camps now specialize in this sport for its young fans; a great way for players to develop their talents and improve their technique. As well as being able to practise their favourite sport during the summer, fans of

To all our family, friends, coworkers, and community; Your expressions of sympathy, charity donations, flowers, food, gifts, babysitting our grandchildren, and visits, are so appreciated. The caring and understanding of Andre Pilon, Debbie Pierce, and staff of Pilon Family Funeral Services, were excellent. Bert’s sisters, cousins, and friends provided a delicious “wake” supper for us. Father Michael Ruddick, St. Michael’s, Fitzroy Harbour, and Father John Burchat provided a beautiful and comforting Funeral Mass. The Knights of Columbus and Catholic Women’s League, Arnprior, provided prayers of faith and solace, for our family at Bert’s wake. Our nephews; Steve Wilson, Darrell Dillon, Raymond Valiquette, Russell Gibson, Matthew Schooley, and Shawn Smith, brought pride and honour to “Uncle Bert”, when they served as his pallbearers. Our supportive and caring Galetta Community Association provided the recreation hall and a delicious lunch for his funeral reception. Bert’s journey with cancer involved excellent health care from: Dr. John Kiskis, staff of Arnprior and District Hospital, Dr. Donna Maziak, Dr. Rachel Goodwin, Dr. K. Dennis, chemo staff at Renfrew Hospital and Paramed Home Care nurse “TASMA”. When we lost Bert, the warmth and understanding of our families and community were the most respectful acknowledgement of the value of his lifetime. Thank you for taking the time to “chat” with him, in the Mall, at Tim Hortons, at his truck, or at the fence at home in Galetta. This was his “favourite” pastime.

A power play goal for the Rams early in the third period put the Rams ahead by 5-3 and then a late goal with less than two minutes to play sealed the deal, with the final score being 6-3 for the Rams. Earning assists for the Rams in this game were Mitch Kerwin with two assists and Jake Oliver, Matt Allan, Connor Cobbold, Matt Veaudry, Ben Wade, Neil Penner, Talmadge Farnes, Scott Gervais, Jordan Boutillier and goalie
