Nursery School offers open house Special to the News

News - Parents who want to check out the Stittsville Cooperative Nursery School and learn about its programs for two and three year olds should consider attending its upcoming open house. This open house is being held on Saturday, April 11 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon at the Nursery School premises located in A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School on Hobin Street in Stittsville. The open house is happening just before the Nursery School’s registration night for the 2015-2016 Nursery School year starting in September. This registration night will take place on Tuesday, April 14 at 7 p.m., also at the Nursery School premises at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School. The Stittsville Cooperative Nursery School aims to provide a stimulating environment in which children can learn trust and develop at their own pace, leading to more independence socially, physically, emotionally and intellectually.

The program focuses on activities that encourage youngsters to experiment freely and creatively. Children at the Nursery School learn to handle themselves in a larger group of peers, take instruction from adults and develop new relationships. The Stittsville Cooperative Nursery School tries to provide an environment which is happy and relaxed, stimulates physical, emotional, social and intellectual development of the child, offers children the opportunity to socialize and experiment with a wide variety of activities and encourages parents to participate in their child’s education. The Nursery School has the space, equipment and supervision necessary to provide this environment for the active pre-schooler. The Stittsville Cooperative Nursery School has been serving the Stittsville community since 1971 when a group of parents interested in providing a pre-school experience for their children founded it. It relocated from its original home at the Stittsville United Church on Fern-

bank Road to premises on Stittsville Main Street in the village core. When A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School opened in 1990, the Nursery School relocated to its current premises at the Hobin Street school. A licensed nursery school, the Stittsville Cooperative Nursery School is a parent co-operative administered by an elected executive committee of volunteer parent members. The executive manages the facility, hires qualified staff and handles the business of the operation. Parents assist in the classroom on a rotational basis and fundraise as required. The Stittsville Cooperative Nursery School is also an integrated school. This means that the program and staff have been assessed and approved by the Ministry of Children and Youth Services to accommodate children with special needs. For more information about the Stittsville Cooperative Nursery School, please contact registrar Stefanie Papineau at registrar@scns.ca or by calling 613-836-1500.

News - Pancakes are popular. And when you add in back bacon, sausage, homemade baked beans and fruit cocktail – wow, what a breakfast! But this is exactly what is in store for you at the third annual pancake breakfast being held this coming Saturday, March 28 at the Dining Hall at the Richmond fairgrounds on Perth Street in Richmond. The Richmond Agricultural Society is hosting this pancake breakfast, with everyone welcome to attend. And, as an added treat, there will be horse drawn wagon rides around the fairgrounds offered. The kids will love that and so will adults because who doesn’t love being pulled along on a wagon by a team of horses. This pancake breakfast will run from 8:30

a.m. through to 11 a.m. at the Dining Hall. Cost to attend is $10 per person or $25 for a family which is a great deal. Children under five years of age will be able to enjoy the breakfast for free. Pancakes have long been a favourite around the world but particularly for breakfast in North America. Pancakes themselves are probably the earliest and most widespread cereal food eaten in pre-historic cultures. Yes, they go back that far. The ancient Greeks made pancakes as did the Romans of ancient times. The word “pancake� appears in English as early as the 15th century. There’s something like pancakes in virtually every country in the world today. For instance, in Germany pancakes are known as “Pfannkuchen� while in Iceland, crepe-like pancakes are called “ponnukaka.� In Canada

and the United States, pancakes are sometimes called by other names such as hot cakes or flapjacks. They are usually considered a breakfast food, served in a stack of two or three pancakes topped with maple syrup and butter and often served with side orders such as bacon or sausage. Pancakes are made from a thick batter containing eggs, flour, milk and a raising agent such as baking powder. In Canada, pancakes are traditionally eaten on Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. Indeed, Shrove Tuesday is also known as “Pancake Day� in Canada as well as in the United Kingdom and Australia. Historically pancakes were made on Shrove Tuesday so that the last traces of lard or fat were used up before Lent when such ingredients were forbidden.

Let parents teach morals

Performing on St. Patrick’s Day, Tuesday, March 17 at Danby’s Bar & Grill in Munster are, from left, Shawn Brown, Adam McSheffrey, Michael McSheffrey and Jim Simpson.

To the editor,

Your editorial “Teach the children well,” on March 5 was obnoxious, condescending, and facile. You do not seem to have a clue as to the damage the Ontario government’s sex-ed curriculum will impart on our children. You seem to think anal and oral sex is something that needs to be introduced at school, in Grade 7, by random teachers, because parents won’t be discussing it with their children. Really? I think a lot of parents are disagreeing in a most vocal manner. We are already seeing firsthand the results of our society’s preoccupation with sex and the push to introduce innocent children, younger and younger, into this complex human dynamic. Let the teachers teach as they have been charged to do, and let parents teach their children morals as they see fit. Ignorance of the Ontario government’s agenda is what we should be scared of, not those opposing it. Finally, I have great respect for Campaign Life Coalition and I trust CLC to expose the truth about the Ontario government’s sex-ed curriculum rather than the Stittsville News or most of the mainstream media. Your editorial is so far off the mark that I could not let it go unchallenged.

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.

Change is just the ticket

O

C Transpo has once again missed the bus. Only a few weeks after the transit company came under fire for the postponed launch of the much-heralded O-Train Trillium line, it was singled out for mismanagement by the city’s auditor general. It seems the folks who make sure the buses run on time aren’t doing such a great job, according to a report tabled on March 12 by auditor general Ken Hughes. And soon enough they’ll have trains to run. The company’s cancellation notification system isn’t working, according to the report. OC Transpo uses its website or Twitter account to alert passengers of cancellations of any of the routes across the city. But a survey taken between May 1 and 15, 2014, found the notification of a cancelled route would arrive late a third of the time. “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, when he announced his findings. “If that

notification comes one-minute or 20 minutes after the bus was supposed to arrive then it is of little value.� We couldn’t agree more. Customers shivering out in the cold at their bus stop won’t react kindly to a tweet informing them the bus they’ve been waiting for has been cancelled – nearly a half-hour after it was supposed to arrive. It’s like adding insult to injury. The auditor general also criticized the city for not using an open bid process to outsource its lost and found program. The city should have been issuing requests for proposals to fairly assign the lost and found contract. OC Transpo’s ongoing comedy of errors should next fall under the scrutiny of city council. This year, council actually had the gall to ask transit users to pay more for a deteriorating service: buses are too often late and there are fewer runs thanks to the “optimization� of route schedules. Enough’s enough. If OC Transpo can’t get the job done, maybe it’s time to start “optimizing� management.

Nothing wrong with a bit of decency

idiculing small towns is a favourite big-city thing to do, so it was no surprise that Taber, Alta., attracted a ton of sneers when it tried to do something to improve the behaviour of its residents. Taber was concerned about things like yelling outside bars, obscene language, spitting and other distasteful stuff. So it passed some bylaws that would fine people for such behaviour. There was a $75 fine for spitting in public, $150 for yelling, screaming or swearing in a public place. Taber also tried to cut down on late-night noise from bars and said police can order groups of three people or more to disperse. Immediately, everybody was all

Invoking comparisons with a movie is not usually thought of as a sign of debating virtuosity, but the Footloose comparison was a big thing on the Internet, where intellect doesn’t always rule.

picnics. And so it went. In the end, the authorities in Taber were forced on the defensive, explaining that they did not mean to ban dancing or impose a fascist state, only clean things up a little. Some of the measures advanced had been used in larger cities with nobody snickering at them. Calgary bans spitting, evidently. In France, the health minister is talking about banning the use of anorexic models in fashion ads. Mayor Henk De Vlieger tried to be philosophical about his town’s notoriety. “I think everybody knows where Taber is,� he said. “That’s a good thing. So we’ll dwell on that and we’ll tell the whole world what a good place it is to live, work, retire and play.� DISTRIBUTION INQUIRIES 4RACI #AMERON ADMINISTRATION: $ONNA 4HERIEN DISPLAY ADVERTISING: 'ISELE 'ODIN +ANATA $AVE 0ENNETT /TTAWA 7EST "RAD #LOUTHIER /RLEANS #INDY 'ILBERT /TTAWA 3OUTH 'EOFF (AMILTON /TTAWA %AST 6ALERIE 2OCHON "ARRHAVEN *ILL -ARTIN .EPEAN -IKE 3TOODLEY 3TITTSVILLE *ANINE +IVELL /TTAWA 7EST 2ICO #ORSI !UTOMOTIVE #ONSULTANT 'REG 3TIMPSON !UTOMOTIVE #ONSULTANT

When you get past all the scorn and snark, it sounds like the people who run Taber have their hearts in the right place. Wouldn’t you like it if yahoos made less noise and people didn’t expectorate all over the sidewalk? The best argument against such rules is that the offences they are aimed at might already be covered under existing laws. As for wanting its citizens to be nicer, who can blame Taber, really? In fact, wouldn’t a lot of us, even in super-sophisticated cities such as ours, actually like it if our city authorities were able to ban certain loathsome practices? Admit it. Let’s start with just about anything involving the public use of cellphones. Specifically, let’s ban talking on the phone as you approach the checkout counter and continue talking throughout the transaction. Let’s continue with several aspects of St. Patrick’s Day. How about the

hockey shootout? Wouldn’t you like to see a bylaw banning that? Lots of folks are trying in various ways to make their communities better. We already ban smoking and idling cars for too long. So leave Taber alone. It sounds like it’s quiet there and nobody’s spitting.

Getting closer to the dream

A

warning to my regular readers: This column may be poetical. I’m currently sitting in a ski chalet looking at a forest. And in this moment, I feel like I could live out the rest of my days here. It hit me in the middle of my winter vacation: There’s a gap between the person I am and the person I want to be. The thought occurred to me one evening, while my family and I were tobogganing on a closed ski hill at sunset. Like something out of a Tom Hanks romantic comedy, a beautiful Nordic-looking woman with blonde, wavy hair emerged at the top of the mountain on snowshoes. The landscape behind her was vast. It looked as though she’d been borne out of the snowstorm, a blonde standard poodle bounding down the mountain at her side. My husband saw her too. We looked at each other and exchanged a knowing glance. That’s the person he imagines I am on my best days. I’m hardly ever that person, but that’s the person I want to be.

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse Now you’re probably wondering what kind of weirdo wants to be a tall, beautiful Nordic woman on a mountain in snowshoes with a dog that looks like her. Or wait, maybe you’re not. I mean, who wouldn’t want to be a tall, beautiful Nordic woman with a matching dog? But my thought was less shallow than it first appears. Deeper than the image was the smiling face and rosy cheeks behind the image, and the landscape and the sheer adventurousness of emerging at the 800-foot summit of an otherwise abandoned mountain in a sunset snowstorm. I spoke to my spouse about the woman later. He seemed to understand my infatuation. I frequently suggest we should abandon city life to live in nature. I typically make

this statement while we’re on vacation in nature, camping or kayaking or cross-country skiing. My closest friends and family members know I am a happier, healthier person when I’m active and in the woods. They’ve gone so far as to say I’m a different person in nature. I think the underlying meaning is they like me better when I’m not running the city rat race. The thing is I like nature Brynna better too. I want to be rosy cheeked and happy and mostly away from electronic devices, not just when I’m on vacation, but all the time. I want to look and feel pure. CITY PERSON

Sadly, I also really like the convenience of walking to the store for milk, and I also have this thing where I crave the company of others. I’m a social butterfly and extroverted. I’m not the type of person who’s content in my own company for more than five minutes, which is why writing is probably a particularly bad career choice for me. But I digress.

I see a lot of me in my middle child. He voiced my dream while we were skiing the bunny hill together the day after spotting the Nordic goddess.

The dream is to wake up in the morning with a coffee and sit on a dock and look at a lake and a mountain

“Mom, can we just buy a house and live here?” “That would be wonderful,” I said. “I’d love to wake up in the morn-

ing and go up the mountain or go down to the lake in the summer,” he said. “The only thing is I’d miss my friends and my school.” Exactly. So the question is how to fill the gap. I decided maybe it’s possible to take micro-steps to get the daily grind a little closer to the dream. The dream is to wake up in the morning with a coffee and sit on a dock and look at a lake and a mountain. But perhaps the reality could be making a coffee and going for a walk around my neighbourhood, which is rather pretty. The dream is to scrap the daily commute staring at my smartphone for an hour on an OC Transpo bus. So maybe it’s time to join the thousands of Ottawans who physically commute to work year-round. And I’ve got some other ideas too. Vacation’s over later today and then it’s back to reality. And here it is: I may never be a blond goddess with a matching poodle, but I suppose I could be a slightly more authentic me with a somewhat slimmer cat.

Monte Carlo Night coming to Stittsville Special to the News

News - An evening of cashless gaming, a friendly poker tournament and silent auction is coming to Stittsville. This Monte Carlo Night is being hosted by the Westwind Public School Parent Council as a community fundraiser to raise money for in-school learning experiences and curriculum

enhancing equipment at the school in Stittsville. This kid-free event will be happening on Saturday, April 18 starting at 7 p.m. at the Bistro fifty-four restaurant on Springbrook Drive in Amberwood. FullHouse Casino is partnering with the Westwind Parent Council and Bistro fifty-four for the event. Those attending will re-

ceive $500 in casino play money as well as one drink ticket for alcoholic or nonalcoholic beverages and hors d’oeuvres. For poker enthusiasts, there are a limited number of seats available in the poker tournament. This is the second year that the Westwind Public School Parent Council has organized such a commu-

nity fundraising event. Last year’s “Murder on the Menu … who’s NeXT” involving NeXT Restaurant and Lakeside Players raised over $3,000 for the school. The goal for this year’s Monte Carlo Night is $5,000. Tickets for this Monte Carlo Night are $55 per ticket or $80 for a ticket that allows entrance into the poker tournament. A lim-

ited number of tickets remain and they can be purchased at http://westwindcouncil.com/ events/monte-carlo-nightfundraiser. The organizers are currently seeking sponsorship for the casino tables, raffle prizes and silent auction items. Anyone or any business which would like to be involved in such sponsorship should

contact the event’s fundraising team at westwindpscouncil@ gmail.com . The executive of the Westwind Public School Parent Council for the 20142015 school year includes Jillian McKim and Anne Murphy as co-chairs; Paula Harris as secretary; Ron Gallipeau as treasurer; and Alana Thomson and Fariha Irshad as fundraising and event planners.

Do you know a

psychotherapist?

If so, you may be interested to learn that psychotherapists will soon become a regulated profession in Ontario. Anyone using the title psychotherapist (or an abbreviation) or claiming to be qualified to practise as a psychotherapist, must be regulated. Practitioners of psychotherapy will need to join the new College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), or be registered with another regulatory college whose members can practise psychotherapy.* CRPO s regulatory authority comes from the Psychotherapy Act passed by the Ontario legislature in 2007. Our mandate will be to regulate psychotherapists in the public interest, striving to ensure competent and ethical practice.

Library offers fun with LEGO over March Break Special event held on March 18 Catherine Flegg

Special to the News

News – It was LEGO time at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Wednesday, March 18. That’s when a LEGO block party was held as part of the March Break activities offered by the Ottawa Public Library. At this LEGO block party, youngsters had lots of fun competing in groups as they tried to meet such challenges as building the tallest freestanding structure and then the longest bridge. The last segment of the party saw the youngsters challenged to create their own unique masterpieces. One of these was a race car created by LEGO lover John McCauley who is celebrating his eighth birthday this week. LEGO is a line of plastic construction toys that are manufactured by The Lego Group, a privately held company based in Denmark. LEGO consists of colourful interlocking plastic bricks as well as an array of gears, mini-figures and other parts.

These LEGO bricks can be assembled and connected in numerous ways to construct objects such as buildings and vehicles. The blocks can be re-used. LEGO interlocking toy bricks began being manufactured in 1949 and as of 2013, about 560 billion LEGO toy bricks and parts had been produced. In 2015, LEGO replaced Ferrari for the title of the “world’s most powerful brand.” The name “Lego” comes from the Danish phrase “leg godt” which means “play well.” In May 2013, the largest model ever created from LEGO bricks was displayed in New York, made of over five million bricks. It was a life size model of an X-Wing starfighter from the Star Wars trilogy. Other building records include a 112 foot tall tower and a four kilometer long railway. In 1998, LEGO bricks were one of the original inductees into the American National Toy Hall of Fame in Rochester, NY.

Winter maintenance review open for feedback Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

As the city faces a potential $11-million shortfall in its winter maintenance pot, planners in the roads department are gearing up for a shake-down of how they keep Ottawa’s roads clear of ice and snow. Roads services manager Luc GagnĂŠ said his department is hoping to hold public consultations to talk about the road clearing system later this spring – likely May or June. The most contentious issue on the table will likely be the city’s overnight parking ban, a system GagnĂŠ admitted is not working as well as it could. The parking ban comes into effect whenever Environment Canada predicts a snow accumulation of seven centimetres or more overnight. Vehicles are not allowed to park on the roads between 1 a.m. and 7 a.m. unless the owner has a valid on-street parking permit. But here’s the rub: between November 2014 and March 2015, the city issued nearly 1,400 on-street parking permits. That’s 1,400 cars the plows had to work around when trying to clear heavy snowfalls off the streets during the six parking bans the city has enforced so far this winter. And those are just the legally parked cars; bylaw ofďŹ cers also wrote 12,032 tickets for parking ban infractions during that time. Having that many cars on the streets can make it nearly impossible to get the job done, GagnĂŠ said, especially if they’re clustered together in one neighbourhood. “Obviously it takes a little bit of the efďŹ ciency out of plowing the streets,â€? he said. “If you had a street with no parked cars, we could go right down the street, we could hug the curb. But once a car’s there it makes it much more difďŹ cult to manoeuvre around.â€?

Dr. Corrine Motluk

Rules around winter parking bans may change. Clearing crews report the particularly bad streets so teams can come back the next day and hopefully clear away some of the gaps once the cars have left for the day. But it’s rarely as easy as that. “The danger is you get a warmer temperature like -5 C, and then it drops down to -25 and all that surface material where the car was parked is hard as rock,â€? GagnĂŠ said. “All of a sudden you’re dealing with this big block of ice (and) it becomes very, very time consuming. You almost need a different piece of equipment.â€? The public consultations will consider ways to limit the number of cars left on the

street during parking bans, including the possibility of having city-owned facilities offer up their parking lots overnight. Another possible solution is enforcing a rolling ban, one with uctuating ban times depending on the snowfall’s arrival. Right now if snow is scheduled to fall throughout the day, removal crews don’t get the beneďŹ t of a ban – they just plow around parked cars as best they can. A rolling ban could have its beneďŹ ts, GagnĂŠ said, but needs to be weighed against any negative impacts, too. See CITY, page 14

City mulls parking ban changes Continued from page 13

For example, “Downtown where there’s a lot of activity and a lot of tourism, it wouldn’t be fair to the businesses in the (ByWard) Market to have a parking ban at 7 p.m.,â€? GagnĂŠ said. “That’s the dilemma we’re in.â€? He said the department hopes to bring solutions forward to the transportation committee in the fall, so changes can be implemented for the 2015-16 season. AHEAD OF SCHEDULE

The city’s winter maintenance costs skyrocketed in January and February, councillors heard during budget deliberations. Right now the city’s winter maintenance costs are $11 million more than projected. While Ottawa didn’t get the volume of snow seen in 2013-14, the record-breaking cold temperatures caused their own problems – including costs stemming from the fact that the city’s road salt is only effective to -18 C. The snow the city did get this winter also fell in many small batches rather than a few big dumps, forcing crews onto the roads 33 days in the first two months of the year – more days on than off, in other words. That used up a lot of work hours and material, according to city treasurer Marian Simulik. “You’d clear the roads, you’d salt, and 24 hours later you’d be clearing the roads and salting again,� Simulik said.

The winter maintenance review will likely put everything on the table, including the level of service residents can expect – and if that should change in the interest of saving money. Simulik suggested the assessment could prompt changes to base funding – the amount needed to cover contract obligations, equipment maintenance and other basic costs – and trigger “ways to curtail the spending by changing the standard or even changing how we deliver the service,â€? she told council. According to GagnĂŠ, crews currently start clearing major roads as soon as a winter storm begins, while residential areas can expect to see plows after seven centimetres have accumulated. If only eight or nine cm of snow is predicted, crews might wait until the storm passes, GagnĂŠ noted, and a larger storm of 15 cm or more would be split into two passes. Contrary to popular belief – particularly among rural residents – GagnĂŠ said crews hit each part of the city at the same time. “If we deploy at 7 a.m., we deploy a unit to those (rural) areas just like we would to Kanata or OrlĂŠans,â€? he said. The rural areas do take longer to finish because streets and villages are spread farther apart. “But it’s not going to be hours or a half a day later than Orleans.â€? Of course, when each road clearing route is a 10- or 12-hour job, some residential streets are going to be done a lot later than others, GagnĂŠ said. “Unfortunately someone’s first and someone’s last.â€?

Design a dream garden

(NC)—Wish you could give your garden an instant makeover? It’s easy to make a dramatic difference with accessories. Fun fences! Faced with a concrete wall? Put up a trellis or two for an instantly dramat-

ic and elegant look. Play up the look even more by adding some climbing plants to highlight the trellis. Blooms are in the Air! Hanging baskets add colour to an outdoor space. “Choose large baskets like the PC®

Jumbo Hanging Basket,” suggests Peter Cantley, garden guru at Loblaw Companies Limited. “The flowers are beautifully colour coordinated, and the basket is big and roomy and that’s so important because a larger soil capacity

helps keep plants from drying out. For real impact try brightly coloured baskets like apple green or plum, which coordinate beautifully with flowers“ Rocky road! Add some pretty pebbles or stones around plant bases or arrange

large, smooth rocks along the edges of a pathway. Light of the Party! Proper lighting is essential for entertaining on summer evenings and for creating the perfect ambience in your garden getaway.

The Power of You. Legacy of Mother Élisabeth Bruyère Grows Through Others.

Lamia Saikaley joined the Broadway for Bruyère Dirty Dancing Gala committee last September knowing she wanted to do something good for the hospital and its patients. She just didn’t know how close her involvement would hit home. A few months later her friend suffered a stroke and he is in rehab at Élisabeth Bruyère Hospital. “His family tells me he is receiving great care and they are very pleased.”

“It is an honour to work with all these volunteers who give their time and resources to help Bruyère patients now and in the future.” Fiona Gilfillan, Bruyère Foundation Board Chair

GETTING THINGS DONE For the first time, Bruyère Foundation is partnering with Broadway Across Canada as they bring Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story on Stage to the National Arts Centre. A committee of successful leaders in our community are volunteering their time to ensure the Broadway for Bruyère gala is a night to remember on April 16, 2015. Some leaders from the committee share why they choose to volunteer their expertise: •

“I always felt that it was important to give back to this hospital.” Lori Wagner, Porter Airlines

City giving wildlife protocol more teeth Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

The debate over new wildlife protection standards is getting a little squirrelly as city planners prepare to bring their new construction protocol to council later this spring. The Protocol for Wildlife Protection during Construction is the first update to the city’s strategy for keeping birds and animals safe on development sites since the regional municipality adopted a one-page guideline in 2000. If passed, the protocol would apply a new standard condition of approval to all plans of subdivision, plans of condominium and site control plans that are located near wildlife habitat – defined broadly to include everything from tall grass to abandoned buildings, depending on what a wildlife survey finds on site. To have their projects approved, developers would be required to complete a wildlife mitigation plan that outlines the project’s construction schedule – including any impacts on sensitive nesting and breeding times – and their plans to protect wildlife from injury and death while construction work is underway. The mitigation plan would be considered a “living document” that gets updated as construction schedules change, according to the draft protocol released for public feedback in January. City planner Amy MacPherson has been the lead on this file since council directed staff to update the guidelines in its 2013 wildlife strategy. The policy developed in 2000 is out of date, she said, and due to “competing priorities” after amalgamation never had the complementary guidelines and documentation developed to expand on its ideas. The new protocol – now 19 pages instead of just one – is meant to close that gap. Last summer, MacPherson and her team reached out to stakeholders for input on how the old protocol might be updated. But somewhere along the line the industry side got missed, so developers didn’t really get a chance to voice their thoughts before a draft was created last fall, MacPherson said. “We had a bit of a miscommunication there, which I really do regret,” she said. Coun. Jan Harder, chairwoman of the planning committee which will consider the new protocol

FILE

The city is facing some pushback from developers over its updated wildlife protection protocol, which asks builders to avoid site clearing during sensitive breeding and hibernation periods. this spring, asked staff to extend the feedback period by a month to give developers more time. John Herbert, executive director of the Greater Ottawa Home Builders Association, said the industry is now scrambling to retroactively address what he considers major barriers to construction – barriers that might not have been included at all if developers had been at the table all along. “City staff didn’t have the benefit of industry advising them of what was manageable and achievable and what wasn’t,” he said. He said the draft’s suggested site preparation timeline is a nonstarter, because it encourages developers to do the bulk of their clearing and site preparation during a six-week window from late summer and early fall to avoid most nesting, breeding and hibernation periods. The development industry is already restricted as to when it can build, Herbert said, through legislation like the provincial Endangered Species Act. That law restricts work during certain times if an endangered or at-risk species is present on site, or if the work affects its habitat. And the federal Migratory Birds Convention Act restricts the taking of nests (or trees which contain those nests) if protected migra-

tory birds are present at the time. The city’s current wildlife protocol also recommends avoiding construction between mid-May and the end of June. With constant approval delays from the city always keeping developers guessing, he said it’s impossible to expect they wait until fall once they’ve finally gotten the green light. But MacPherson said it’s a

City staff didn’t have the benefit of industry advising them of what was manageable and achievable and what wasn’t JOHN HERBERT

gross misinterpretation of the new protocol to suggest that it requires all construction work to occur between mid-August and the end of September. “It is completely unrealistic to expect that all site-clearing in the city will only occur in the six to eight weeks in the fall. It can’t be done,” she said. “That’s the least disruptive time for most species,

but at other times of the years, (the protocol says) ‘here are additional mitigating measures we expect you to be using.’” That could include extra “prestressing” activities (making loud noises on site for a few weeks before work begins, for example), hiring a biologist to do a wildlife survey or setting up nesting boxes off-site to encourage wildlife to move out, MacPherson said. That can cost time and money, too, Herbert argued. Take the protocol’s stance on pipes, for example: it asks developers to avoid accidentally providing shelter for animals, suggesting workers block off open-ended pipes so they don’t inadvertently become death traps disguised as cozy dens. “There are hundreds of pieces of pipes on a site every day,” Herbert said. “Do we want crews spending the morning taking caps off and the afternoon putting them back on?” But environment committee chairman Coun. David Chernushenko called the draft “reasonable” – and dismissed any laments that “never again will a home be built in Ottawa.” “That’s hyperbole that we have to be wary of,” he said. “It just seems to me its common sense practices and I hope that’s the way it will be seen and will come forward. There’s nothing draconian in it.” The Capital Ward councillor added that the protocol could have been much more restrictive. “It could have mandated windows instead of guidelines, it could forbid construction during certain periods in certain areas, but it doesn’t,” he said. “It seems like pretty sensible middle ground.” And the protocol won’t even be enforceable in any measurable way; as a condition of approval the city can ask a builder to stop work if it’s not complying, or illegal tree removal may be covered under the urban tree conservation bylaw depending on where the development is located. “A lot of the information in it is best practice and the only real mechanism we have to enforce it is through the condition of approvals,” MacPherson said. “We do not have a wildlife protection bylaw, nor were we directed to do that.” She said staff will compile all feedback into a report for the planning and agriculture and rural affairs committees, which will likely come forward this spring.

The next meeting of the Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee is coming up on Thursday, April 2nd at 10:00am at our new home, Ben Franklin Place. Agenda items that impact Rideau-Goulbourn include the zoning amendment for 1125 and 1129 Clapp Lane, which is the proposed independent living centre; a zoning amendment for 7315 Fernbank Road, permitting a mineral extraction operation; a zoning amendment for 3275 Donnelly Drive; and a modification to the Development Charge By-Law that would alter the application of a special sewer surcharge in Manotick and Richmond to ensure that only future development is assessed this charge. The way it stands today, any property owner in either village would be assessed an additional charge of approximately $10,000 (Manotick) or $15,000 (Richmond) when they pull their building permit for a new home. In Richmond, every single new home built since June 11, 2014 has been assessed this new $15,000 sewer surcharge. The intent of this surcharge is to pay for the upgrades to the forcemain that are needed for future growth. In my opinion, only the growth that requires the upgrades should pay for them, rather than existing lots that are within the capacity of the current pumping station and forcemain. Important to note, on the Clapp Lane application, that 1125 Clapp Lane is already zoned to permit the independent living centre. 1129 Clapp Lane is the single dwelling next door that is also owned by Mr. Joe Princiotta and will form part of the independent living centre’s lands. It requires the same zoning as 1125, hence this application. Other agenda items include a commemorative naming of a new rest area along the Prescott-Russell Multi-Use Pathway in honour of Harold H. Dent (Cumberland Ward); a zoning amendment for 8153 Springhill Road (Osgoode Ward); and an Official Plan Amendment to permit new connections to the Carlsbad Trickle System (Cumberland Ward). More information on these reports will be available on Ottawa.ca as of Thursday, March 26th. Expanded Client Services at Walter Baker Centre As you may recall, in May 2014, the client service counter at Walter Baker Sports Centre (WBSC) began offering a set of City of Ottawa services during expanded hours. This pilot project was a collaborative initiative of ServiceOttawa and Parks, Recreation and Culture Services and was built on a smaller pilot at Ruth E. Dickinson Library. The intent of the new client service counter at WBSC was to provide residents and businesses in the southern part of the City with better access to municipal services, and to allow the City to examine more efficient and effective utilization of our in-person client service workforce. Following the trial period, a review of the program indicates support for continuing to offer the most popular services (Bus ticket/pass purchases, parking ticket payments, animal licenses) which together represent approximately 73% of the various services accessed over the duration of the pilot. All services will be provided by trained Parks & Recreation agents; as such the cost for the provision of these services is no greater than that which would be accrued during regular business processes. These services will be available from 8:00am to 8:00pm, Monday to Friday. For other city services please visit us online at ottawa.ca, call 3-1-1 or visit a ServiceOttawa Client Service Centre. North Gower Farmers’ Market The North Gower Farmers’ Market Easter Market is back! On Saturday, April 4th from 9:00am until 2:00pm, at the Alfred Taylor Recreation Centre (2300 Community Way), come visit the over 30 local vendors that will have everything for all of your Easter needs. The annual Easter Market features local meats, homemade foods, all kinds of baking and there is even a wine vendor this year.

Kids’ health focus of Ottawa Public Health launch Website to offer bilingual resources

alex.robinson@metroland.com

Ottawa Public Health has launched a “one-stop shop� online destination for parents seeking health information for their children. The city’s public health arm has created Parenting in Ottawa, a new web initiative, providing parents access to bilingual resources on a range of topics – from pregnancy and breastfeeding to puberty and sexual health. “Parenting in Ottawa just got a little easier,� said Sherry Nigro, the manager of health promotion and disease protection at Ottawa Public Health. Nigro said 80 to 90 per cent of parents are online and two thirds of them use social media regularly to get information. “With so much information out there, they tell us it’s overwhelming, and that what they really need is a place to ask a trusted source if what they’re reading is accurate and safe,� Nigro told reporters at the Mary Pitt Centre in Nepean. The website – www.parentinginottawa.com – was launched on March 16 and links parents with local community resources. Ottawa Public Health launched a Facebook group to accompany the website, and has already attracted around 8,500 followers, who have asked more than 250 questions from the staff. The page can be found by searching “Parenting in Ottawa� on Facebook. In addition to connecting parents to a nurse in real time, the Facebook group lets them learn from other parents in a public forum. “People know the Facebook page is being moderat-

A new website offers advice to parents looking for information concerning children’s health. Christa Poirier, a public health nurse, speaks to reporters about the launch of the parenting website on March 16. ed not only by someone who has experience and is educated, but also by other parents who have tons and tons of experience,� said Christa Poirier, a public health nurse who is the moderator for the group. “There is a lot of communication going on – a lot of sharing that happens.� Poirier posts questions every day on the public page to broach timely topics, such as measles or vaccinations. She also moderates parents’ comments to ensure the information being shared is correct. “The Facebook format acts like a bit of a talk show, where we invite audience participation,� Nigro said. “One of the things we’re really excited about ... is the ability to have other commu-

nity experts be able to join us and be guests on our show, so to speak.� Posters can send private messages to the nurse and expect a response within an hour if their message is sent between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. Poirier is the only staff member currently monitoring the group full time, but Ottawa Public Health is expecting staff will be shuffled around to answer questions as the page grows. “What all parents have in common is a strong desire to do their very best for their children,� Nigro said. “We hope that the Facebook page and the website becomes the place for all parents in Ottawa to go to be in the know.�

Range of seniors’ incomes a challenge for policymakers Older Adult Plan that has been in place since 2012 to make the city more accessible and welcoming for seniors across Ottawa. On March 18, about 100 seniors, service providers and experts gathered at city hall to “check the compassâ€? on that plan and address outstanding issues for the 2015-2018 term. “We started out on a path four years ago where we wanted to get to a spot where we had an age-friendly city that was inclusive for everybody,â€? deputy mayor Mark Taylor said to the crowd. “Now it’s at the point where we hit pause, check the compass again and see if we’re still headed in the right direction.â€? In the three years since council approved the plan, steps large and small have been taken to make the city more liveable for seniors. With an annual budget of $500,000, city staff tackled 74 action items, including: • 34 extra benches in senior-dense areas • 55 more self-serve grit boxes to cut down on winter falls • 12 intersections updated with longer crosswalk times • 18 city facilities retrofitted with automatic doors and washroom grab bars • Printed activity guides and seniors’ resource books • 9,000 participants in a Better Strength, Better Balance program • 1,100 seniors trained in computer literacy and Internet safety. On transit, the city reviewed potential barriers like technology and snow removal at bus shelters. OC Transpo’s senior fares were also tweaked in 2012 to make public transit more affordable, and five more community agencies now offer a travel training program to help coach older adults on using the bus. Burrows commended Ottawa for its efforts to accommodate its senior population, but warned that trying to meet the needs of such a diverse group of people will be a challenge going forward. For one thing, Ottawa’s approximately 117,000 seniors range in age from 65 to 100 and beyond – the widest age gap of any demographic – and, accordingly, a range of income levels. Much media attention has been given to the idea that millenials are the poorest generation these days. But Burrows stressed that many seniors over the age of 65 live on a fixed income of less than $25,000 a year, and still need the discounts and subsidies that are currently built into Ottawa’s service fees and transit fares. “Many older people need this assistance to encourage participation in an active lifestyle. Others may not,â€? she said. “It’s a challenge and it’s a conver-

sation that will need to be held in the years ahead.� With such a large cohort of seniors comes the fear that challenging the status quo on seniors’ discounts could result in an uprising of “angry greypower grannies demonstrating and singing – always in weird hats,� Burrows said. But the need for the discussion is no laughing matter. “Future policy decisions must be carefully crafted and wisely administered to understand what seniors need while guarding against resentment from younger groups, who in the future are going to carry the burden of support,� she said. Taylor said he doesn’t see changes to the city’s current subsidies structure in the near future, but given that the senior population is expected to double in the next 20 years he expects council will eventually have to start applying subsidies based on more than just age. “In 2030 we’ll have more seniors than kids under 15,� he said. “When there’s more people accessing the discount than not, that’s not a discount, that’s just the price.� HOUSING

The accomplishments of the Older Adult Plan to date have focused largely on mobility and accessibility in various public spaces, but advocates are now asking for a larger focus on affordable housing. The plan’s housing accomplishments from 2012 to 2014 included accessible renovation funding for 74 seniors, stakeholder participation in an affordable housing roundtable with the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation, LGBT education training for staff at long-term care homes, and software implementation to track repair needs in social housing buildings. But Burrows said it’s got to be about putting roofs over heads. “Seniors’ affordable, supportive housing is a major need in Ottawa,� she said. “Budgets are tight, we all have an understanding of that, but that kind of support needs to continue into the future ... I hope the housing branch and council will make development of this housing a priority for capital funding for the future.� Social services general manager Aaron Burry said about 15 per cent of the infrastructure money coming from the federal and provincial governments over the next four years will be devoted to seniors’ affordable housing across the city. Developers are starting to catch up to demand, as well. “There’s a growing interest with the private sector where the sectors that deal with seniors housing are looking at how they can bring affordable housing to the market,� Burry said.

Martha Fair, right, chats with a fellow participant during a consultation to refresh the city’s Older Adult Plan on March 18. The plan was enacted in 2012 to help the city become an age-friendly place to live, and now the city is taking stock of what it has achieved while setting new goals for this term of council. Taylor added that funding for affordable housing is not broken out in the older adult plan specifically, but low-income seniors go to the top of the waiting list ahead of single people and couples. But there’s always more to be done. “We’ve created more, yes, but is it enough? No,� Taylor said. He’s hoping the city’s housing and homelessness investment will jump from $14 million to $16 million as part of the city’s strategic initiatives process this spring.

questions about the streak. Asked if there was anything he wanted to share about Hammond’s string of wins, Ryan said it was “exhilarating� to watch. Ryan had nothing but great things to say about his Special Olympic teammates as well. “I’ve been fortunate to be a part of it (the Special Olympics program) for years,� said Ryan. “The athletes make it a lot of fun and they’re a lot of fun to be around.� The Special Olympics Ontario Provincial Floor Hockey Championship takes place at Carleton University May 7 to 9.

Cops on the fast track Patrick Longchamps

Patricklongchamps@gmail.com

Meet a cop. Talk with a cop. Become a cop. Ottawa’s police department hosts recruitment sessions nearly every month to replace officers that are retiring and the force has come up with an interesting way of filling positions. Speed recruiting is what the police are calling their new hiring tool; a combination of speed dating and recruitment. The next session is expected in late April. “There was a lot of information and people there, applicants that came in to know more about the job in a comfortable environment,” said Matthew Marino, an applicant at a March 11 recruitment session for a policing job who’s seen the department use standard interviews and the speed recruitment process. The speed recruitment is set up with about 15 people from the police department, ranging from recent recruits to the chief. Each potential applicant sits down with one of the police staff and has two minutes to ask them any type of question.

“You get to sit down and talk to them about what they do,” said Const. Mark Miller, one of the officers leading the presentation. “It’s more of a different experience, more of a one-on-one. It’s intended to give them more of an insight.” Another benefit of speed recruiting, according to Miller, is that if someone shows a lot of talent and ambition, then they know who to connect with in the next stage of the hiring process. This opportunity doesn’t pop up as often in a normal recruitment session. “Sitting here and saying we offer these special sections is different than having someone from the EOD (bomb disposal) sections come in and say, ‘I defuse bombs for a living.’” The fast-paced recruiting allows for more one-on-one interaction, instead of the normal information presentations. The standard presentations involve special constables, civilian employees of the police department, communication staff and police officers. Each talks a little bit about the hiring process and at the end answers questions from the audience.

“It clears up uncertainties because you can do your research online but you still aren’t sure you understand,” said Steven Viezel, a realtor who wants to be a cop. “When they come in, they will answer every question you have and now I have a complete understanding.” Daniel Tetreault, a studio session musician, said the applications are the scariest part. “I think nights like this really show you what to expect,” he said. There have been two speed recruitment sessions; in August and December 2014. “The first session they had was absolutely huge,” said Marino. “The second session was similar but a lot more organized and regimented.” After each session the organizers get a better understanding of how to improve the event. “We got pretty positive feedback from the first one and decided to tweak it in the second one,” said Miller. “Since then we still are tweaking it even more.” Const. Sheldon Baptiste said the police department is still trying to perfect the speed recruitment method. During the March11 session, it was mentioned that the Ottawa police are only expected to hire 30 new police officers in 2015. For information on police recruiting, see ottawapolice.ca.

SAMS rollout continues to take a toll on city emma.jackson@metroland.com

“Challenging implementation.” “Moving target.” “Struggle.” “Chaos.” “Crisis.” Those were just some of the telling descriptions city staff had for the province’s new social assistance system at an update to the community and protective services committee on March 23 – a system that has caused nothing but headaches and extra costs for the city since it was imposed by the province last fall. The new software management system, known as SAMS, was rolled out across Ontario on Nov. 12, and since then issuing cheques for Ontario Works and the Ontario Disability Support program has become exponentially difficult for the approximately 600 area social workers who don’t have enough training or the manpower to address the problems that have cropped up. “What it was intended to do was to make applying for social assistance easier ... to make things smoother, faster, more efficient,” said Aaron Burry, the city’s social services general manager. “That’s certainly not what we’ve seen to date.” Instead, the number of client calls to the city’s four social assistance offices has jumped an average of 27 per cent (and 250 per cent on pay days), walk-ins have tripled and wait times to get issues resolved have ballooned from minutes to hours and sometimes even days, Burry said. It can take three times longer just to do a routine task like change an address. A small percentage of cheques have been leaving the office with errors, so staff has had to put in time-consuming stopgaps to make sure the system isn’t churning out bogus payments. The client services offices, once humming centres of productivity, are now dens of chaos as staff try to cope with the backlog. “When you get off the elevator now there is racket everywhere,” Burry told the committee. “That tells me there are multiple things not working.” It is currently costing the city about $35,000 extra every week in added staffing costs to fill vacancies, bump part-timers to full time and pay some overtime. Burry said the worst-case estimate is an extra $4 million in implementation costs over the next two years. While the province has paid

about $221,000 of that back already and plans to send the same amount again this quarter, Burry said Ottawa has not received any commitment from the province that the city will be fully reimbursed for its trouble. Committee chairwoman Diane Deans, councillor for GloucesterSouthgate Ward, compared the botched implementation to last term’s Presto transit card roll-out, “only I think it’s much worse, because it affects the most vulnerable citizens.” Not to mention, she said, this time it’s not the city’s fault. “It’s not a problem of our making, it’s a problem that has landed on our table and one that we need to deal with.” LITANY OF ISSUES

The province initially announced the new electronic welfare management software in 2010, and it was supposed to hit Ontario cities in the spring of 2013. That rollout was delayed until November 2014, but despite the extra time Burry

said staff still wasn’t adequately trained. In Ottawa, social workers completed most of their SAMS training online with an outdated version of the software, and there was no transition time to run the old and new systems together. When the province flipped the switch on Nov. 12, staff was basically starting from scratch, Burry said. The technical bugs were clear right away. Some files from the old database just didn’t transfer properly, but it was impossible to know what files would trigger a problem, Burry said. That’s still ongoing, leaving Ottawa staff with about five unresolved files each week. While that’s down from 12 at the start of the SAMS era, it’s still a struggle. “We’ve never had a 100 per cent successful week,” he said. The city asked to the province to send software experts to help staff on the ground, but so far that hasn’t happened. Compounding the problem is the fact that the province is trying

to fix the software on the fly. Just when staff gets familiar with the new program, a series of upgrades will come in over the weekend, Burry said. “It takes them until about Wednesday to get comfortable with those changes, they feel like they’re accomplishing something by Thursday or Friday, and then when they come back in Monday it’s like, ‘I’ve got to start all over again, I’ve got to relearn things,’” Burry said. Clients have suffered for it as well, he said. Some people have to come to the office three or four times in a month to resolve issues, and

they’re anxious to make sure their cheques are issued correctly and on time. There’s been a rise in angry outbursts, Burry said, and a decline in the amount of time staff can spend helping clients get back on their feet. “Much of the other work that we’re required and want to do we’re not able to do, and that’s specifically helping to steer clients to community agencies and employment centres,” he said. “The promise was more face time with clients, not less.” He said a number of major fixes are scheduled for the end of the month. He promised to update the committee again in April.

MINIMIZE THE FINAL INCOME TAX LIABILITY OF YOUR ESTATE proper planning, a deceased’s “ Without income tax liability could be significant Did you know that approximately 80% of Canadians will donate to a charity during their lifetime? However, it is estimated that less than 10% will include a gift to a registered charity in their Will.

This is one of a series of several articles intended to build awareness about the impact of legacy giving to Forever CHEO. In addition to the spiritual and community benefits of gifting to a registered charity, naming a registered charity as a beneficiary in your Will can also be an effective way to minimize the final income tax liability

of an estate. Without proper planning, a deceased’s income tax liability could be significant. Various income inclusions at the time of death, such as deemed capital gains and the fair market value of an RRSP can result in a higher than expected estate income tax liability given Canada’s graduated income tax rates.

Gifts to Forever CHEO can include cash legacies, bequests of real or personal property, securities, life insurance proceeds and all or part of the residue of the estate. All of these gifts can potentially generate tax credits available to reduce an estate’s income tax liability. Additionally, the gifting of certain types of capital property to Forever CHEO under the terms of a Will may avoid capital gains but still maximize the tax credits available from such a gift.

If you are interested in finding out about how you can leave a CHEO legacy, please contact Megan Doyle Ray at

megandoyle@cheofoundation.com or (613) 738-3694

Please feel free to contact any member of CHEO’s Legacy Advisory Committee for more information about minimizing the tax liability of your estate and how you can make a lasting impact on the kids and families at CHEO. We would be happy to help you create your Forever CHEO legacy for generations of CHEO patients.

CHEO job cuts will come from nursing staff: union emma.jackson@metroland.com

The Ontario Nurses Association says the 50 job cuts planned at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario will come from the facility’s roster of registered nurses. In a press release on March 18, the union said CHEO informed it that “more than 50� registered nursing positions will be cut this year to help close a $6.7 million budget gap. CHEO spokeswoman Eva Schacherl wouldn’t comment on the union’s statement, arguing it’s too early to say which departments will face cuts. “It’s premature to give that level of detail,� she said. “We’ll be working closely with our unions over the next two weeks.� Earlier in March, CHEO announced it would cut between two and three per cent of its 1,750-person workforce to cover a 2.8 per cent budget shortfall. In an emailed response on March 18, Schacherl added, “We are working co-operatively with ONA and the other unions to protect patient care and minimize the impact on staff as we face this $6.7 million budget gap.� But ONA president Linda HaslamStroud said there’s little doubt patient care will be affected by frontline cuts. “Once again, our patients are paying the price for frozen hospital funding,� Haslam-Stroud said in a statement. “In this case, some of the sickest children in the province – in the neonatal intensive care unit, pediatric intensive care unit, ambulatory care, in-patient surgical and medical units, will pay the price for fewer hours of (registered nurse) care.� She estimated 90,000 hours of registered nursing care will be cut at the hospital this year, though CHEO said the cuts will largely be swallowed up by attrition, reassignment and volunDidn’t get your War Amps key tags in the mail?

tary retirement. CHEO said its core funding has been frozen or reduced annually since 2012, but has worked around this by scaling back its administrative overhead. However the hospital is feeling the burden of increasing

inflationary costs, such as electricity bills and equipment and drug expenses, as well as negotiated salary increases of up to 1.4 per cent for unionized employees. Along with the lost jobs, the hospital will implement more than 100 cost-saving measures

in the coming months, such as reducing its use of paper. Schacherl said the hospital’s creativity in lowering overhead costs has delayed job cuts for several years, but something’s got to give. “We’ve delayed this day, really,

but I think it’s something that we’ve been working at finding efficiencies and finding different ways to do our work within our resources for several years,� she said. With files from Erin McCracken

THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS

Discover Umami with mushrooms (NC)—Simply stated, umami is the fifth taste. You may think that it is just as ordinary as the other tastes; sweet, salty, sour and bitter, but you would be wrong. Umami is a Japanese word meaning “savory” or “meaty” and this applies to the sensation of savoriness. According to David and Anna Kasabian, authors of the Fifth Taste, Umami (pronounced oo-MA-mee) extends the finish of savoury foods, making them linger on the palate longer. Common to savoury products such as meat, cheese, broth and sauces, umami itself is subtle, blends well with other tastes,

and expands and round-out flavours. In other words, Umami enhances the flavours of the foods it is served with making them taste better. Most people don’t recognize umami when they encounter it, but it plays a very important role in making food taste delicious. Umami is sensed by specialized receptor cells present on the human tongue. The action of umami receptors explains why foods treated with monosodium glutamate (MSG) often taste “heartier.” How do you know when you taste Umami? Eating foods high in protein are the ones best for sensing umami.

Parmesan cheese, the quintessential umami reference, is high in protein, and when aged, moisture escapes and the glutamates concentrate. Mushrooms also have umami, which is why restaurants serve them on burgers and steaks. Remember how that morsel of steak exploded with flavour when it was served with fresh sautéed mushrooms? That’s umami. Your mouth tingled as you began to enjoy the food, a sensation that can only be brought on by umami. Be sure to add Umami-rich mushrooms to your weekly shopping list. Your taste buds will love you for it.

Police to purchase 100 more Tasers Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Ottawa’s police force has been given the green light to buy another 100 Tasers for its front-line officers at a cost of nearly $196,000. The new Tasers will be deployed by the end of 2015, bringing the number of conducted energy weapons available on the road to a maximum of 39, up from 15. Right now there are only between five and 15 Tasers on the road at any given time, since most are deployed to supervisors and tactical teams, who don’t always attend calls for service. It’s a tiny number for one of the largest municipal police forces in Canada, a board report said, and a 2013 internal survey found that 59 per cent of the force’s members had attended a call where a Taser was necessary but wasn’t available. The police developed a two-year “practical deployment plan” in April 2014 to increase the number of Tasers available to its force after the provincial ministry of community safety and correctional services allowed for expanded use of the weapons in 2013. The new Tasers were included in the 2015 budget, but since it was a sole-source purchase of more than $100,000 it needed Ottawa Police Services board approval, which it received March 23. It was largely a formality, though, since MD Charlton Co. is the only authorized distributor of Tasers in the province. Ottawa has settled on the X2 model, one of two approved for Ontario police forces last fall. According to the police board, the X2 is “more technologically advanced and consequently improves public and officer safety.” The conducted energy weapon has a dual laser sighting system to show officers exactly where each probe will make contact. It also has two cartridges, so it can deploy twice in a row. The Ottawa force has had access to Tasers since 2000, when it participated in provincial field trials. In 2002, members of tactical and hostagecontainment teams across Ontario were authorized to carry the weapons, and in 2004 that was expanded to include front-line supervisors. Last April, Ottawa approved a change in its use of force policy to include members of

perimeter control teams and first-class constables who are either coach officers or who are working in front-line areas. A 2013 report showed Tasers are deployed in Ottawa on average about 19 times a year, with the highest being 25 times in 2013. The report said no serious injuries had been reported because of an officer using the weapon. Along with the purchase, the force is continuing to deliver de-escalation training to all of its officers, the report said.

Each week, a lawyer from the Kanata based Allan Snelling law firm will answer a reader’s question. A weekly guide in legal matters

If you have a general legal question that you would like to have addressed send it via email to Legalmatters@compellingcounsel.com

I might be making an offer on a house early next week. I was wondering whether I have to get a home inspection done. Is there a warranty that I can rely on when buying a home? In general there are no warranties that a purchaser can rely on when buying a home and a proper home inspection is the best way to protect yourself from any unpleasant surprises. Warranties The standard Agreement of Purchase and Sale for a resale home used by real estate agents, the OREA form 100, does not contain any warranties in regards to a physical condition of real estate property, except for a very limited warranty related to ureaformeldahyde insulation. Consequently, there are no explicit warranties given by a seller to a purchaser when it comes to the condition of real estate property, unless such warranties are negotiated and added into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale, which is very rare.

About Allan Snelling

In addition to the terms written in the Agreement of Purchase and Sale, in Ontario there is a long standing law that a buyer gets the property in ”As Is” condition. This includes not just a physical condition of the home but also of all chattels and fixtures, such as furnace, water heaters and appliances. There are no warranties under the law that the buyer can rely on. Home Inspection A good home inspector would provide you with a detailed report and advise you of any defects or potential problems. While a home inspector might not be able to identify all defects, especially hidden ones, an inspection is a good way to learn what you are buying and to assist in making an informed decision. A home inspection may provide a basis to negotiate price owing to the cost of necessary repairs or modifications.

We recognize that each client is unique and our firm has been structured to meet the diverse legal needs of every person and business in Kanata and the surrounding community.

Stittsville Thunder goes undefeated in championship run Novice hockey team wins big game after scoring 18 goals in playoffs Special to the News

Sports - The Stittsville Thunder are the Lanark-Carleton Minor Hockey League Novice A champions! The Thunder won an all-Stittsville championship final, capping a playoff run that saw the Novice A3 Thunder go undefeated in six games with five victories and a tie. After going undefeated through round robin playoff action with a record of three wins and no losses while scoring 18 goals and only allowing three goals against, the Thunder went up against the Stittsville Warriors in the championship final. After winning the opening game of this final series 3-1, the Thunder and Warriors faced off for the second game of the series before a packed house at the Johnny Leroux

Stittsville Community Arena. And what a game it was. After exchanging leads in the first and second period, the game was tied 2-2 going into the third period. Both teams had chances to score but goalies Nolan Rogers of the Thunder and Harlow Barker of the Warriors were both turning aside everything. With time winding down, Lucas Field of the Thunder picked up the puck in the neutral zone, turned on his afterburners and scored to give the Thunder a 3-2 lead and an apparent victory, given that there were only 13 seconds left to play in the game. But the Stittsville Warriors were not done. BUZZER BEATER

As the clock ticked down, Brayden Bowditch of the Warriors picked up the puck, sped past the Thunder defenders and then blasted a rocket that tucked under the crossbar of the Thunder net. It was a game tying goal scored

Sports - Football season may seem a little ways off yet but not for the Bell Warriors Football Club. That’s because the Bell Warriors have begun indoor winter workout clinics at the Oz Dome on Westbrook Road off Carp Road in Stittsville. And, best of all, these winter workout clinics are open to all youth. So it’s a great opportunity to be able to get out in the protected atmosphere of the Oz Dome and have fun running, throwing, catching and otherwise having some football fun. There is no equipment required other than a t-shirt, shorts and cleats. Also, participants should take along some water to quench that inevitable thirst that will arise from the activity. These indoor winter workouts are held annually by the Bell Warriors. The sessions began last Saturday, March 21 but continue for five more sessions. The cost is $40 for all six sessions or $10 per session – and the fee includes an event t-shirt. This coming Saturday, march 28, the session for tyke and mosquito age players is from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m., followed by a session for pee wee and bantam age youth from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. Subsequent sessions are on Wednesday, April 1, Sunday, April 12, Saturday, April 18

and Saturday, April 25. Parents can use the opportunity of these winter workout clinics at the Oz Dome to register children for the upcoming Bell Warriors tackle football season. Registration fees are $300 for tyke and $350 for mosquito, pee wee and bantam. All football equipment except cleats is provided. The Club, though, does offer a cleat recycle program. Tykes are ages 8 to 10; mosquitos are ages 11 and 12; pee wees are ages 13 and 14; and bantam are ages 15 and 16.

Stittsville Rams storm back to lead playo series Rams gain edge against Gatineau Mustangs Special to the News

R0013196652

Sports - The Stittsville Rams have stormed back from an opening game defeat to take a two games to one lead in their best of seven Metro/Valley Conference championship final series in the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League. The Rams lost the opening game of the series 3-0 to the Gatineau Mustangs right at the Rams’ home rink at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC) in Stittsville on Wednesday, March 18. But then the Rams rallied to win the next two games of the series, one at the home of the Mustangs in Buckingham on

Friday, March 20 and then another back home at the GRC in Stittsville last Sunday afternoon. In the opening game of the series on Wednesday, March 18 at the GRC, the visiting Gatineau Mustangs jumped out into a 2-0 lead in the first period. After a scoreless second period, the Mustangs added a third goal into an empty Rams net in the final minute of the game to end up winning by a 3-0 score. The Rams outshot the Mustangs 34-22 in this game but the Mustangs finished ahead where it counted – on the scoreboard. There were plenty of penalties in this game with the Mustangs being assed 59 minutes in penalties on 16 infractions while the Rams collected 56 minutes in penalties on a similar number of infractions, 16. So, down one game to none in this championship series, the Rams had to travel to Buckingham last Friday night, March 20 to face the

hometown Mustangs. The Mustangs scored the only goal of the first period to lead 1-0 going into the second period. The Mustangs made it 2-0 on a power play at the eight minute mark of the second period to take a 2-0 lead. Things didn’t look so good for the Rams. But an unassisted goal by Mike DiBello of the Rams later in the second period meant that the Rams were only down 2-1 going into the third period. In the third period, Mitch Kerwin scored on a power play for the Rams at the 14:49 mark to tie up the game. Cole Carter earned an assist on the play. This knotted the score at 2-2 which is how the third period ended. OVERTIME

So, it was on to overtime and at the 13:08 mark of this overtime

frame, Matt Allan of the Rams scored unassisted to give the Rams a 3-2 victory, tying up the series at one game apiece. The teams were virtually even in shots on goal in this game, with the Gatineau Mustangs directing 28 shots at Rams goalie Matt Couvrette while the Rams had 29 shots on the Mustangs’ goalie. TIED SERIES

With the series tied, the action moved back to the GRC in Stittsville last Sunday afternoon. Playing before a packed arena, the Rams skated away with a 3-2 victory thanks to a goal by Connor Cobbold with only 22 seconds left in the third period. Cole Carter and Rams goalie Matt Couvrette picked up assists on this game winning goal. The Rams had scored the only goal of the first period, a goal by Talmadge Farnes assisted by Cole

Carter and Jordan Boutillier which was scored at the 18:39 mark of the period. In the second period, the visiting Mustangs scored two straight goals to take a 2-1 lead. But this 2-1 lead was short lived as the Rams scored exactly one minute after the second Mustangs goal at the 18:59 mark of the period to tie up the game 2-2. It was Matt Allen who scored this tying goal, assisted by Jake Oliver and Cole Carter. This set the stage for the third period which was scoreless until Connor Cobbold scored his game winning goal with only 22 seconds left to play. There were lots of shots on goal in this game, with the Gatineau Mustangs taking 45 shots at the Stittsville net, including 21 in the second period alone, while the Stittsville Rams directed 46 shots at the Gatineau goal.

Applications for Jamie Hubley scholarship due by March 31 Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

A scholarship created in memory of Jamie Hubley is in its second year, and is once again looking to lend a hand to those experiencing mental health issues or who want to work in the field of mental health. Applications for the Jamie

Hubley Scholarship for Mental Health are due by March 31to the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa Foundation. JAMIE

The scholarship is in honour of Jamie Hubley, a 15-year-old Kanata resident who took his own life on Oct. 15, 2011.

An openly gay student at his high school, Jamie was bullied continually. Two $2,000 scholarships are available: the first is for someone with “educational and vocational goals related to the field of mental health,� while the second is for someone with an “experience of mental health disorder/mental illness,� said the application

guide. A committee put together by the Hubley family will choose the recipient of each scholarship. “It’s important,� said Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley of the scholarship that honours his son. “It means a lot to us to know that that’s more people getting into the field of men-

tal health,� he said of the first scholarship. Of the second, he said, “It’s nice to be able to take somebody going through those challenges and give them a helping hand.� Last year, Jessica Trempe from Kanata and Ceara McIntyre from Stittsville received the scholarships. “They were both amazing

people and we are very happy that we were able to be a part of helping them have a better future,� said Hubley. To be eligible, those looking to apply for the scholarships must be an Ottawa resident, have a demonstrated need for financial assistance and must be enrolled or planning to enroll in a recognized educational institution.

Golbourn Sea Hawks Swim Club membership flourishes Special to the News

Sports - The pool at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville may be closed down these days but the Goulbourn Sea Hawks Swim Club has not been grounded by the situation. Indeed, the Sea Hawks Swim Club is flourishing, having grown to close to 100 members now after temporarily reducing its program last year due to the pool closure. Not only has the Sea Hawks Swim Club found swimming opportunities at both the Richcraft pool in Kanata and the new Minto pool in Barrhaven but also the swimmers have shown great dedication to their sport. Seniors who swim every morning of the week are at the pool by 5:15 a.m., meaning that they get up around 4:15 a.m. every day. Now that’s dedication! And that’s not all. These swimmers are back in the pool on some afternoons as well. In addition, they swim early in the morning on Saturdays, being at the pool by 5:45 a.m. And where has all this dedication led? Simply to great results in the recently completed short course season. The swimming season for the Goulbourn Sea Hawks Swim Club is divided into two parts or “terms” – the short course season in which swimmers compete in 25 metre pools and the long course season where they swim in 50 metre pools.

In the now-completed short course season, the Goulbourn Sea Hawks had a great showing at the Eastern Ontario Regional Championships. Several Sea Hawks swimmers went on to compete at the Provincial level and two attended the Eastern Canadian Championships. The Goulbourn Sea Hawks Swim Club’s team is divided into five different levels – Bronze, Silver, Gold, Black and Senior. Swimmers range in age from ages 9 and 10 in the Bronze group to ages 16 and 17 in the Senior group. At the Regionals competition, the Goulbourn Sea Hawks swept the freestyle events in the age 15 and over male category, with the Sea Hawks winning the 100 metre, 200 metre, 400 metre, 800 metre and 1500 metre freestyle events. Ryan Justus of the Sea Hawks qualified for Provincials in the 100 metre fly event. Katie MacAskill qualified for Provincials in the 100 metre breast stroke event and just missed qualifying for Provincials in the 200 metre breast stroke event by the narrowest of margins, namely 1/100th of a second. Allen Zheng of the Sea Hawks qualified for “Festivals” in the 50 metre freestyle event. This Festival Competition has replaced the Junior Provincials (swimmers aged 13 and under). The Goulbourn Sea Hawks had several medal winners at the Regionals. See SEA, page 52.

Exhibit shares Selma at 50 Award-winning Ottawa photographer Lynn Ball An exhibit of photos by former Citizen chief photographer Lynn Ball featuring iconic and shocking images of the 1965 Walk For Freedom opened March 21, the 50th anniversary of the Selma-to-Montgomery walk, at the Canal Gallery, 230 St. Lawrence St., in Merrickville. Ball was a darkroom technician/freelance photographer at the Canadian Press in Toronto when the voting rights campaign in Alabama became the focus of the civil rights movement. “Back in the early 1965 I was working in the darkroom of the Canadian Press in Toronto. Mostly taking wire photo transmissions on negatives and printing them for papers that didn’t have wire machines. They were mailed out. I was aware of all the news and was working hard to be a news photographer by covering almost everything on a freelance basis for CP. I twice shot the Beatles, a Royal Tour and believe it or not also photographed the Toronto Maple Leafs with the Stanley Cup in 1964; something that may never happen again,” said Ball. He was aware of the civil unrest in the Southern States, “When Martin Luther King Jr. announced he would lead a march from Selma to Montgomery I was in. I knew it would be an historic event,” he said. Taking a few days off work he headed south and after a hard 25 hours of driving he arrived in Montgomery “I shot pictures of white demonstrations which were shocking and civil rights demonstrations all in Montgomery,” explained Ball. “It was so different from anything I had ever seen. It didn’t make sense to me. I never

felt threatened but did have ‘Go home Yankee’ yelled at me a couple of times as my car had Ontario plates.” His next stop was in Selma where he watched the march begin with Martin Luther King Jr.

An exhibit of photos taken by Ottawa’s Lynn Ball opened last week in Merrickville, just south of Ottawa. Ball was in the American South during civil rights marches and his photographs capture the ugly mood.

Ball was paid just $5 for each photo Continued from page 38

“Next day I hit the road home. I was stopped for speeding at night in Bowling Green Kentucky. The officer asked me where I was going and where was I coming from. When I told him I had been in Selma he asked if I had seen Jim Clarke.” Jim Clarke was the sheriff in Selma. He had signed Ball’s press card. It was because the sheriff had ordered an earlier march to be beaten up that Martin Luther King decided to take part in the march from Selma.

R0013150733

three parts

The exhibit has three components: Anatomy of a Demonstration: Ball went to a black neighbourhood where protestors were massing for a march to the State Legislature. One moving photo shows civil rights leader Willie Ricks – who thought up the protest slogan, “What do we want? Black power!” – asking a state trooper to allow the demonstrators to walk on the sidewalk. He refused. Dozens were then arrested because it was illegal to march on the road. What We Didn’t See:

Ball also covered a march by white segregationists. Housewives with curlers in their hair shouted racist epithets and waved placards with what is today referred to as “the N-word.” Canadian Press editors deemed these photos too controversial for Canadian newspapers and they were not transmitted on CP’s photo wire. Many have not been seen publicly until now. Selma March ’65: On March 21, 1965, some 3,000 marchers left Selma for Montgomery. Their numbers grew to 25,000 by the time the 54-mile march ended in Montgomery four days later. Ball’s images feature civil-rights leaders Martin Luther King, Ralph Abernathy, and Nobel prize winner Ralph Bunche as well as ordinary people whose bravery and determination shines through in the photos. As a freelancer, Ball was paid $5 for each photo CP used from Selma – the same amount he got for photographing the first Beatles’ concert in Toronto in 1964. \ After Selma, Ball was promoted by Canadian Press. He became the wire service’s first national news photographer in Ottawa.

Mother comes to the rescue when Cecil’s spying fails For a long time, it was a complete mystery to me how our neighbours in Northcote knew where the Saturday night house party was to be held. It was my friend Velma, who, much smarter than I was, said it was because Central simply called everyone on the line and told them. That made perfect sense to me. After all, Central knew everything that was going on in the area, and she certainly knew everyone’s ring. And so it was, that Saturday night, supper was early, the kitchen made spotlessly clean, the bake table cleared off, and the chairs pushed back against the wall. The parlour door had been opened early in the morning. The braided rug re-

MARY COOK Memories moved from where it sat rolled up tight against the bottom of the door to keep the heat out of the one room in the house unused during the winter unless we had company. The rug was tucked under the horsehair settee, and by late day we were ready for the Saturday night house party. The neighbours came in cutters and sleighs, the horses tethered near the drive shed, with heavy blankets

thrown over their backs. They were carrying baskets of food, which my sister Audrey took with a hearty “thank you,” and then piling it all on the cleared-off bake table. Those who had even a smidgen of talent brought their fiddles and guitars and one neighbour, who couldn’t hold a candle to Mother’s playing, brought his harmonica, a doublereed affair that his daughter told me cost a whole dollar at Scott’s hardware. parcheesi

yell out “euchre.” Soon, the music would start, and we would know that the middle of the kitchen floor would have partners for a square ready to break into a square dance, big enough space for only one set. And the old log house, would be rocking with the music, the feet stomping on the floor, and with good-natured bantering at the card table. In the middle of the floor in the big upstairs hall which served as bedroom for my sister and me, was a large round grate circling the stove pipe which came through the floor from the kitchen stove below. Cecil decided he would see what was going on downstairs, so he stretched out on the floor with his face pressed against the grate. I have no idea how it happened, but he must have stuck his tongue through one of the small holes in the grate, and he couldn’t get it out. His arms flailed, and his words came out like someone speaking a foreign language. Audrey bent over him and told him to stop yelling and it would release his tongue. Well, he either didn’t get the message, or he was too scared to pay any heed. No one could hear him downstairs because of the music and the loud chatter, so Audrey went down and brought Mother upstairs to see if she could release Cecil’s tongue from the grate.

Finally, she lifted the grate out of the hole in the floor, with it still circling the pipe, and Cecil’s tongue with it. They sat crossed-legged facing each other, and Mother, holding the grate in one hand, being careful not to move the stove pipe, and with Cecil’s tongue between two fingers in the other, told him to breath in hard, and cough real loud. Taking in a deep breath to get ready for the cough, caused his tongue to jerk back into his mouth and that finally freed it from the grate. Well, it was a pretty quiet Cecil after that. He said he had enough of playing upstairs, he was going to go down and watch the dancing and card game. His tongue was no worse for wear, because when it came time to eat the lunch, Cecil’s plate was piled high with cold pork sandwiches, and not one, but two pieces of chocolate slab cake. And not one of us was brave enough to bring up the incident ever again. Cecil was a force to be reckoned with, there was no doubt about that.

Asparagus ravioli and basil butter

T

he rich flavour of asparagus is highlighted in these pretty packages that are easily made with purchased wonton wrappers. The ravioli is perfect for an impressive first course or light luncheon. Preparation time: 45 minutes. Cooking time: 15 minutes. Chilling time: one hour. Serves four to six. Ingredients

• 500 g (1 lb) asparagus, trimmed • 50 ml (1/4 cup) butter • 1 clove garlic • 1 green onion, chopped • salt and pepper • 50 ml (1/4 cup) finely chopped fresh basil • 50 ml (1/4 cup) water • 15 ml (1 tbsp) all-purpose flour • 48 wonton wrappers (round or square) • 50 ml (1/4 cup) freshly grated Parmesan cheese Preparation

Cut the asparagus stalks into five-centimetre (two-inch) lengths, and reserve the tips for garnish. In a large skillet, heat 15 ml (1 tbsp) of butter over medium-high heat. Add the asparagus stalks, garlic and green onion, season with salt and pepper to taste and stir to coat.

Stir in half of the basil and 25 ml (2 tbsp) of water, cover and cook for three to five minutes or until the asparagus is tender. PurĂŠe the mixture and let it cool. Cover and refrigerate until cold. Stir together the flour and remaining 25 ml (2 tbsp) water to make a smooth paste. Working in batches, place the wonton wrappers on a work surface, and spoon 5 ml (one heaping teaspoon) of asparagus filling in centre of each. Brush the flour paste around the edges of each wrapper, and top with a second wrapper. Press the wrappers together, pushing out any air and sealing the edges. Place on a parchmentlined baking sheet and cover with a damp tea towel. In a large pot of gently boiling salted water, cook the ravioli in batches, for about three minutes or until they rise to top and are tender. Remove with a slotted spoon onto a clean tea towel and transfer to heated serving plates. In the last batch of ravioli, cook the asparagus tips for two minutes or until tender, then drain well. In a small skillet, melt the remaining butter, and stir in the remaining basil. Drizzle the butter mixture over the ravioli, and garnish with asparagus tips and sprinkle with Parmesan. Serve immediately. Foodland Ontario
