City draft budget sticks to two per cent increase

BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

It was for the most part a balanced budget with the two per cent tax increase that has become status quo during Mayor Jim Watson’s tenure – with two notable exceptions.

The long-anticipated low-income bus pass made an appearance in Watson’s budget address, before council tabled the draft budget on Nov. 9.

“This will deal with those that fall through the cracks of the other assistance programs OC Transpo offers,” Watson said.

The pass will cost $57 – which is 50 per cent off the price. This is the city’s largest one-time increase in financial support for public transit in the city’s history, according to the budget documents.

Homeowners will see an increase of two per cent in their tax rate as well as a 2.5 per cent increase in their transit levy. The water rates will go up by five per cent, which means an extra $45 a year for the average home – priced at 395,400 in the deputy treasurer’s report.

The city takes in $3.267 billion annually – 47 per cent of that income comes from property taxes. Fees and

service charges make up another 25 per cent.

The stormwater rate for the city’s rural customers will be phased in starting 2017 and fully implemented to those who are already connected in 2018.

New fixed and volumetric water and wastewater rates will be implemented in 2018.

Aside from the bus pass, the other exception was that the budget deals with demand on community service organizations. Anti-poverty advocates pleaded with council during last year’s budget process to get a bump in funding to help deal with demand.

Watson announced $610,000 for those agencies, which includes a $500,000 fund that they’d requested and a two per cent increase in their base funding.

“We are hearing from service providers that individuals needs are not being met because of rapid growth,” Watson said.

The arts got a big boost, in the form of a renewable, annual fund for the arts with a total of $300,000.

For 2017 there will be two funds for the arts that total $500,000.

Gord Downie, Trudeau join 15,000 kids at We Day

BY NEVIL HUNT nevil.hunt@metroland.com

The usual crowd at Canadian Tire Place makes noise, be it for the Ottawa Senators or a rock star.

But the loudest crowd of all may be the one that visits once a year, bringing thousands of young healthy lungs along to scream and cheer.

We Day was held inside the Sens home rink on Nov. 9. What has become an annual event draws more than 15,000 students from schools across eastern Ontario and west Quebec, where they hear motivational speeches and music from local and international guests.

The day’s surprise guest was Gord Downie of the Tragically Hip. He got a rock star ovation despite the fact his music likely appeals to more of the teen audience members’ parents and teachers than the teens themselves.

Downie was joined on stage by his brother Mike, as well as Pearl Wenjack, whose brother Charlie died 50 years ago while trying to walk away from a residential school. Gord has focused efforts on drawing attention to the living conditions of Canada’s indigenous people, and has made music about Charlie’s story.

Wenjack asked the audience to stand as she sang a song, and the youngsters paid rapt

attention. Gord kept the focus on Wenjack, entering and departing with a wave to the audience. He did not speak.

Coming just hours after Donald Trump’s election in the United States, We Day provided a chance for one guest speaker – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau – to remind Canadians young and old that Canada has much in common with the U.S., and that he will try to move the nations’ relationship forward “in a positive way.”

The theme of positivity is a major part of We Day, which will hold 15 events in Canada, the U.S. and the U.K. this year. Local students – who earned tickets by taking action on one local and one global cause – appeared to get the message.

Hunter Fleming, a Grade 4 student from Cantley, Quebec, shared lunch with his mother

and friends while sharing his favourite parts of the morning.

“Whatever someone says about you, you can’t let it take you over,” Hunter said he learned, adding he liked “seeing people and knowing their stories.”

Riley Humphreys said the morning was her first chance to see Trudeau in person. The Grade 5 student at Devonshire Public School said the message she took from the guest speakers revolved around bullying and cyberbullying.

Even though We Day aims to motivate young people, Riley’s mom, Kellie Daniels, said she was getting something out of the day’s program.

“It’s seeing it through the eyes of kids, and how much they feel inspired,” Daniels said.

She said Trudeau’s speech was the highlight of her morning, and his message was well

received.

“He said, ‘It’s OK to be different,’ and ‘Don’t let society make you do things you don’t want to do.’”

Self-esteem, making good decisions and inspiration seemed to rub off on the youngsters in the audience.

“I like that they say, ‘Follow your dreams,’” said Caleb Adams, a Grade 6 student at Steve MacLean Public School.

As Caleb dug into a bag lunch and pizza with classmates Grace Bestard and Zaid Shalghum, the trio agreed We Day provided plenty of motivation to take on challenges and new ideas. Plus it’s a day away from the usual routine.

Grace said she’d normally be in English class around noon on a Wednesday.

“This is way better,” she said.

Other speakers this year included Gov. Gen. David Johnston, the prime minister’s mother, Margaret Trudeau, singers Paula Abdul and Serena Ryder, and Paralympian Rick Hansen.

These three Greater White-fronted Geese (the two top are adults) were among the dozen that recently visited the Madawaska Headpond at Arnprior.” eventually landed, bringing the total number I had seen to 12, half of them adults.

Fall is an exciting time of year with northern birds such as Rough-legged Hawks and Snow Buntings coming south to our area. It is also the time for encountering strays such as the

Greater White-fronted Geese that landed on the Madawaska Headpond. With weeks remaining until freeze-up, who knows what else might turn up there.

One of the most exciting moments for birders is to come across a bird not normally seen in his or her area. It might be a bird from the north, such as a Boreal Owl. Or a bird not normally seen in winter, such as a Common Yellowthroat. But the biggest thrill comes from encountering a bird that strayed from another area, a species seldom seen where that person is birding. Recently that happened to Ray Holland.

Ray was fishing on the Madawaska Headpond when he spotted some unusual geese among five hundred Canada Geese.

Two of them bore bright white foreheads and pink bills, features that allowed Ray to easily identify them as Greater Whitefronted Geese. While that species occurs in very small numbers in the Ottawa region during spring migration, they are rarely seen in the fall especially near Arnprior.

Ray immediately called me but I was about to give a lecture at Carleton University and couldn’t leave. Bruce Di Labio was also notified and when he arrived and gave the geese a thorough scoping, he found no fewer than ten White-fronted Geese - a high number even for Ottawa, especially in late fall. Greater Whitefronted Geese are northern nesters, ranging from Nunavut to Siberia. In autumn, most North American birds migrate west of the Mississippi River to Mexico. In earlier years, sightings of Greater White-fronts in the east were rare. But as have other species of geese, their populations have increased substantially in recent decades and sightings in the east are on the rise.

Admittedly, I was tempted to drive to Arnprior early Wednesday morning to look for the White-fronted Geese but I had to give another lecture so with great angst I waited until it was done.

At 3 p.m. I left school but the traffic was heavy and excruciatingly slow, and only after what seemed an eternity did I finally break free, arriving at the Headpond with less than an hour of daylight left. To my disappointment many Canada Geese had left and others were just taking off.

The remaining geese drifted east across the Headpond, pushed by strong winds. I scanned them and to my relief spotted four Greater White-fronted Geese among

The Rural Root Theatre Company continues to produce great theatre with local talent

BY HELEN WEEDEN

Thanks to the strong and enthusiastic support of their growing number of patrons, the Rural Root Theatre Company (RRTC) continues to produce great theatre with local talent right here in West Carleton.

In early November, three great audiences attended the short run of the one act play “Waiting for Ringo”.

The run included one local musical act with each nightly performance and was a warm up for the cast and crew of the play before entering the Eastern Ontario Drama League (EODL) One Act Play festival in Perth over the weekend of Nov 11th to13th.

With the kind support of the Carp Agricultural Society and volunteers from the West Carleton Food Access Centre (WCFAC), RRTC managed to raise enough in ticket sales to provide a $1000 donation to the WCFAC. At the EODL Festival ‘Waiting for Ringo’ was up against productions from seven other well established community theatre companies. At the awards brunch that closed the festival, RRTC garnered three nominations: - one in production effort for Helen and Martin Weeden; one in

Hard turn to the right

I

f you think back to your own interactions with individual Americans, you will probably remember them as kind and generous.

But when acting in large groups – such as a federal election – Americans have a tendency to put themselves ahead of what’s good for the majority.

If America got its collective policies in line with the individual ethos of being generous and helpful, Donald Trump would today be a footnote in history instead of the soon-enough most powerful man in the world.

Americans are kind and they are big-hearted, but they don’t want to be told whom they should help. They want to decide that themselves. And that list seems to be growing shorter.

How else to explain an election victory for Trump?

His economic plan rests atop a promise to make people richer through trickle-down economics – tax cuts for the rich.

It’s a system that encourages you to buy a

lottery ticket – yes someone will get rich, but most will get poorer. And if you don’t win and get rich, it’s your fault because you didn’t try hard enough. You were afforded every opportunity. Shoulda tried harder, sucker.

The United States seems destined to relearn history. Trickle-down policies will rev up the economy in the short term as the rich invest and reap massive rewards. But in the longer term, the bull market will die down and all that will be left are a few people at the top with bigger cars, bigger yachts and bigger off-shore bank accounts.

That high society, enriched again, will no doubt fail to take care of the most vulnerable.

Health care will be privatized. Publically funded schools will be starved for resources.

People at the bottom will try to survive day to day. They may beg on the streets and get a few coins in their cup from a fellow American who is generous enough to share one-on-one, but for some reason can’t stand the idea of helping a whole country live better.

Photo radar could increase safety around schools

I

t looks like we might have another go at photo radar in Ottawa.

About time.

When last we saw it, in the early 1990s, photo radar was doing quite well along Highway 401. Speeding was down, which was the main point of the exercise.

People didn’t need to be caught speeding to change their behaviour; just the knowledge that they surely would be caught did the trick.

But it wasn’t all that popular. A lot of people speed, a lot of people are confident that they can handle their vehicles above the speed limit, and a lot of people don’t like the government telling them what they can do in their cars.

So it helped Mike Harris to be elected premier in 1995 when he promised to abolish the system.

It has stayed abolished. ottawa COMMUNITY

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town If it comes back, as it appears it will, it will be in a different form.

When Premier Kathleen Wynne was in Ottawa last week, she promised legislation that would allow cities to set up cameras in designated areas, including around schools.

That seems like a better idea than photo radar on major highways.

On a highway, 10 or even 20 kilometres per-hour above the speed limit may not make all that much difference, on a clear day with normal traffic.

Drivers have good visibility and they have time to react.

In a residential area in a town or city it’s a different situation.

Even traveling at the speed limit — usually 50 kilometres per hour — can be too fast on a narrow street with parked cars, bicycles and children playing or running to school.

There is no margin for error.

Most drivers know that. Many of them have experienced a close call— with a child or a dog running out into the street — and that has made them instinctively slow down in residential neighbourhoods and around schools.

But not everyone does. Some people are inexperienced as drivers, some are distracted, some are simply reckless.

Many of these people will not respond to publicity campaigns, speed limits or even common sense.

But they will respond to the threat of being fined, particularly if there

is a certainty of being fined. Photo radar provides that certainty.

One of the reasons people speed on the 401 is because they are pretty sure they won’t be caught.

But if you drive on similar highways in the United States you will find many states where people don’t speed. That’s because state troopers are plentiful and visible.

And the reason photo radar worked in the ’90s is because it made people certain they would be caught.

So, as long as people are made aware of it, photo radar will work around schools.

Not that there won’t be debate about that and there will be lots of time for it, since the provincial legislation hasn’t been passed and, after it is, city council will have to talk about it.

Photo radar might be disputed on a civil liberties basis, or a cost

Inevitably, as with any system of financial penalties, some will decry it as a cash grab. Point made, but so what?

The cash grabbed might be better off with the city than in the hands of someone who doesn’t know enough to slow down near a school.

Arnprior reeve steps aside from county warden race

BY DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

Walter Stack will not run for the county warden’s position after all.

Stack is reeve of the Town of Arnprior and its representative at county council in Pembroke. He is town council’s elder statesman, the only one to survive from Mayor Terry Gibeau’s tenure. So his has helped both his colleagues and staff when it comes to policy development and public relations. It is similar at the county level where he has served on many committees, often as chairman, including the influential finance committee.

But Stack will not lead the County of Renfrew for the next two-year term.

“It’s just not my time,” he said.

“I’m making a decision for Barbara and I and I’m quite comfortable with it.”

Time for family is the reason; playing with his grandkids; travelling with his wife who retired last year: the priorities of a 68-year-old are not those of someone who must log 2,000 kilometres a month travelling across one of Ontario’s largest counties. The work is every day, he said. It isn’t how he repays Barb after many decades of letting him follow his interests.

“To be quite honest, this is probably the first time in 45 years we’ve made a decision for ourselves. She’s earned this,” Stack said. “She has always supported me, and we have some plans.”

Stack is well informed on various

files, certainly at the town level, and offers plenty of insights and opinions to prove it. So his is a character that would immerse itself completely into the work. He couldn’t go halfway.

“I would have to be fully committed, that’s just the way I am,” he said.

Stack contacted his challenger for the job, Bonnechere Valley Township Mayor Jennifer Murphy. Should she win by acclamation, Stack believes it

will be good in some ways. It would contrast Stack’s narrow loss to Town of Renfrew Reeve Peter Emon last time.

“Jennifer will make a good warden.”

He has no doubt the race to earn votes from county council colleagues would have been close, but Stack said that didn’t figure into his reasoning. Neither did health. He is fine health-wise, having recently got-

ten back from a few days hunting.

The question is whether or not he will run again at the municipal level.

“I’m still thinking positively about that,” he said. “I intend to stay involved in municipal affairs.”

Then, referring to voters, “It’s not up to me in the end.”

Walter Stack attends the Remembrance Day ceremony. He has opted not to run for warden, citing family reasons.

Chapman Mills Drive Extension (Longfields Drive to Strandherd Drive) and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Corridor (Greenbank Road to Borrisokane Road) Class Environmental Assessment Study Notice of Completion and Filing of Environmental Study Report The City of Ottawa has completed the Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study for the extension of Chapman Mills Drive from Longfields Drive to Strandherd Drive and a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor from Greenbank Road to Borrisokane Road. This Study was carried out in accordance with the requirements for a Schedule ‘C’ project under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, as amended 2007, 2011 and 2015) document.

Police budget sticks to two per cent increase

BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Despite the challenges of a growing and aging population, along with a record number of shootings and homicides for 2016, the Ottawa police budget will stick to a two per cent, or $8.9 million, increase.

The increase would bring the gross operating budget to $320.2 million.

The police services board tabled the budget on Nov. 7 – two days earlier than planned due to commitments from board members.

One such commitment was that of Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder, who plans to attend the opening of the Barrhaven Costco. It was Harder’s last meeting after six years.

Harder said she was honoured to have served alongside her colleagues, but cited the pressures from the planning committee workload as the reason for stepping aside to create a place for Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley.

The board heard from chief Charles Bordeleau that policing is becoming more complex as a result of the aging population and the change in the nature of crime.

“The number of calls for service have stayed basically the same, but they’re more involved,” he said, pointing to a recent search for an elderly gentleman with dementia.

“That takes a lot of resources,” he said.

The other problem is the

shift among the criminal element, Bordeleau said, adding it’s not acceptable to settle a dispute with a knife or a gun.

Bordeleau spoke following a weekend with the city’s 16 and 17th homicides.

The last of which, was at Piper’s Bar and Grill on St. Laurent Boulevard on Nov. 6.

Solomon Odekunle died after being stabbed in the neck with a beer bottle.

“There’s no rhyme or reason to some of these crimes and they aren’t concentrated in one community,” Bordeleau said, addressing the challenges to the force’s overtime budget.

The community is also more hesitant to come forward, Bordeleau said.

“There were 20 or 30 people in the bar watching the altercation, but by the time we got there with the lights and sirens, everyone had taken off,” he said. “Despite that, investigators were able to solve it in two days.”

10 West Carleton Review - Thursday, November 17, 2016

In the rural area, the policy changes would require the use of criteria from the Province’s Natural Heritage Reference Manual 2010 (NHRM) to identify significant woodlands. In the urban area, based upon the NHRM criteria for economic and social functional values, they would extend the significant woodland identification to include any urban woodland of 0.8 hectares or larger which is 40 years of age or older.

The Official Plan policies for Urban Expansion Study Areas (Section 3.11) and Developing Communities (Section 3.12) would be changed to eliminate the current, two step evaluation process for significant woodlands. They would also be changed to allow Council to modify the current requirement for development proponents to convey any significant woodlands to the City for $1 prior to development. Such a modification would be conditional upon the proponent demonstrating to Council’s satisfaction that the proposed modifications would provide greater social and economic functions within surrounding community than retention and conveyance of the unmodified woodland.

If concerns regarding this project cannot be resolved in discussion with the City, a person/party may request that the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change, Ontario make an order for the project to comply with Part II of the Environmental Assessment Act (referred to as Part II Order). The Part II Order request must be received by the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change, Ontario during the 30 day review period and a copy of the request should be forwarded to the City of Ottawa. If there are no requests received by Monday, December 19, 2016 the project will be considered to have met the requirements of the Municipal Class EA, and the project may proceed to design and construction as presented in the ESR.

This notice was first published on November 10, 2016

Summary of proposed changes The Official Plan Amendment would change the Official Plan policies for significant woodlands to conform to the new requirements of the Provincial Policy Statement 2014 (PPS). The PPS requires the use of Provincial criteria for the identification of significant woodlands.

Community invited to support local family in need

BY KELLY MCCARTHY kmccarthy@metroland.com

Sometimes it takes a village.

Community members in Kinburn are stepping up to the plate to help a family in need on Sunday, Nov. 27 at a fundraising shindig. Mélia-Palooza will benefit one-year-old Mélia Payne, who was diagnosed with leukemia in August, and her family.

“Both of Mélia’s parents need to stay with her at CHEO for a while while she goes through her treatments,” said Rebecca Foley, Mélia’s aunt.

“That can get expensive so we wanted to organize something to help out.”

Mélia was diagnosed with leukemia on Aug. 17, one week before her first birthday. Her parents, Kevin and Tiffany, have uprooted their lives to stay near to her at the hospital. Kevin is a local carpenter and Tiffany is a teacher at Saint Rémi School in Kanata.

Both Kevin and Tiffany have lived in the area their whole lives – Kevin in Dunrobin and Tiffany in rural Kanata – and Foley said the community has been incredibly supportive so far.

“The reception from the community has been amazing,” she said. “It’s very touching to see how many people are willing to help out.”

Mélia-Palooza will take place on Nov. 27 starting at 2 p.m. at the Kinburn Community Centre. The event is a family-friendly affair, and promises to be a good time for all who attend.

Jamie and Jeff McMunn will provide live music for the occasion, and Jon (Gonzo) Marks from Boom 99.7 will host the event.

Foley said the community has been generous in donating items for the live auction, including: Ottawa Senators tickets, round-trip WestJet tickets, a basket from the LCBO, a weekend getaway to Calabogie and several other items.

Refreshments will be served throughout the evening, and there’s a cash bar as well.

Foley invited everyone to come out for a fun evening and help support Mélia and her family.

“Stop by if you can and donate whatever you can,” she said. “Every little bit will be appreciated.”

Lake sturgeon shows signs of rebounding in Ottawa Valley

BY DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com

There are some positive signs that a fish species dating back to the time of the dinosaurs is making a comeback in the Ottawa Valley.

Lake Sturgeon are prehistoric behemoths that have managed to bypass all sorts of obstacles, including a commercial fishery in Ontario prior to the 1960s, contamination from mining operations, and disruptions from numerous pulp and paper mills. The fish that can easily live to 100 years old has seen its population drop to the “threatened” level.

It doesn’t help that sturgeon don’t begin to reproduce until they are about 20 years old, and even after that females might not spawn every year; it is more like every four to seven years.

So it’s been a daunting task for those trying to bring back Canada’s largest freshwater fish that can weigh up to 180 kilograms (396 pounds) and be two meters long (6.5 feet). On-

tario Power Generation (OPG) takes a leading role in stewardship of the species. For 25 years now it has run numerous protection and recovery programs dedicated to maintaining the integrity of the province’s lakes and rivers. Senior environmental specialist Dan Gibson has dedicated the last eight years to travelling across Ontario, tracking and relocating sturgeon. He is close to saying the species could make a comeback on the Ottawa River.

“We are seeing some very positive results,” Gibson said.

“We are not at that point in our knowledge yet on the Ottawa to say for sure.”

OPG puts a “significant” amount of money and seven to 14 workers on conservation files. They do tagging and netting during fall in places like the Chenaux Generating Station near Renfrew. Along with data related to height and weight and more, the company tracks the fish’s return to spawning areas.

“Knowing where and when

Dan Gibson is a senior environmental specialist at OPG. He is pleased with some initial findings on population growth among lake sturgeon. they spawn is crucial,” Gibson said. “We’ve seen some positive outcomes in the last year, especially on the Quebec side.”

Recreational fishing for sturgeon is prohibited, of course.

Gibson said few would want to keep them for consumption.

“It is really out of this world! If I had to describe it, the words might be divine, reborn and hope.”

They are a white-meat fish, but not flaky (more like catfish).

And they are bottom feeders, so “It’s an acquired taste, I’d say.”

The roe, on the other hand, is similar to the famous Russian caviar. North American

lake sturgeon roe has even been cut into the Caspian and Black Sea caviar, that’s how close the taste is.

Many anglers in the region would say Gibson has a dream job.

He is paid to hang around

waterways handling fish, helping to preserve and grow revered species. Does it get any better?

“It is definitely a good job.

I enjoy coming to work every day,” he said. “OK, it is a great job.”

YES! We have 3 rotating Local Craft Beer lines...

Gift of Art to showcase ’s YEAR END SALES EVENT hundreds of works of art ’s

BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

The Kanata Civic Art Gallery’s annual Gift of Art show and sale is more than an opportunity to browse hundreds of works, it’s also a chance to meet and talk with the artists behind the art.

More than 20 local artists are participating in this year’s show, to be held Nov. 19 and 20.

“It’s a great show,” said artist Patrick Imai, adding art isn’t just about the final product but it’s also about the artist and the process behind a specific piece.

“This (event) gives you a chance to come out and speak with the artist, the individual

creating the work. You achieve a connection there,” said the Orleans resident and member of the Kanata gallery who has participated in the show for three years. “It’s a chance to know more background on a piece that you would be buying.”

The show and sale is the art gallery’s largest event each year in which member artists have the opportunity to showcase a wide range of their work.

Imai’s signature work is carving bears out of a variety of soft stones using hand tools and sometimes incorporating elements such as glass, crystal, and reflective silver.

He sculpts bears because they have been humanized in popular culture – such as Yogi Bear and Smoky the Bear, he said. “I can build on that and I can build human emotion or represent human emotion and action in bears.”

When he participates in themed shows at the gallery, Imai

said he tends to use bigger pieces – those that will get noticed right away.

At Gift of Art, he is able to bring an array of sculptures, from the very small to the very large.

“There is more flexibility,” he explained. “It gives a range of prices and you can see a whole range of work.”

The other artists participating will offer a variety of styles and mediums – from paintings to photographs, abstract to realism and everything in between.

“As you ramp up and look towards Christmas … there would be something that would strike a harmony for yourself, the person buying the art, or as a gift,” said Imai. “You would find something that resonates with you, the recipient or both.”

The Gift of Art show and sale is Nov. 19 and 20 at the Mlacak Centre, located at 2500 Campeau Dr., from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days.

and $5 million on sidewalks.

Half of that money will go towards the promotion of Ottawa’s festivals and the other half will be for arts chosen by the community.

“We may not see the level of excitement in 2017 again in our lifetime,” Watson said, adding the budget will include the arts momentum fund to keep the party going and avoid a hangover for 2018.

The increase in arts and festival funding will be 11 per cent over last year.

“Ottawa is no longer a sleepy government town,” Watson said.

For every dollar the city spends on 2017 celebrations, industry partners and other levels of government pledge four dollars, Watson said.

The rural areas will see 110 kilometres in road repair to the tune of $23 million.

SAVINGS

The city plans to fund some of the new projects through the recent administrative restructuring, which brought about 133 layoffs this year.

Those changes to the city’s corporate structure saved about $18.4 million, said city manager Steve Kanellakos.

Kanellakos said he didn’t foresee any more layoffs.

Watson congratulated Kanellakos on his work accomplishing the savings by only shedding one per cent of the city’s workforce.

Program opens doors for Ottawa immigrants

BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com

Khalil Lakeh said he was at an English language class in his Bayshore neighbourhood when he first saw a flyer advertising a free, pre-apprenticeship home renovation training program.

Lakeh, who emigrated from Palestine with his family to Ottawa three years ago, said the program was exactly what he was looking for.

The fact that it was completely free was icing on the cake.

“This was a program I have been looking for, for a long time,” Lakeh said.

Lakeh, who worked for a cleaning company, said he had looked at other programs in the city because he wanted to learn a skilled home renovation trade.

The opportunities this particular program offered made him determined to get in.

He wasn’t the only one who saw that flyer – more than 400 interested immigrants attended an information session – but he

was one of the lucky 20 students chosen from more than 120 applicants.

The YMCA-YWCA of the National Capital Region, in partnership with the public school board and John Gordon, founder of Your Reno Guys created the pre-apprenticeship home renovation training program and taught it Monday to Thursday at the former Ottawa Technical School.

The four-day week was planned in an effort to allow the 20 qualifying immigrants the opportunity to continue to work part-time on weekends.

On Nov. 7, after six months of training, Lakeh and his classmates graduated.

The pre-apprenticeship program aims to satisfy growing industry demand in home renovations, while engaging immigrants who want to start a new career in the trades.

Kendra Duval, director of the Y’s immigrant employment programs said the 20 spots cost $250,000 to fund, all made pos-

sible because of funding from the Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills, and Employment Ontario.

The program offers free technical training in carpentry, drywall, and tile setting to immigrants, and provides participants with opportunities for academic upgrading and access to co-operative education credits.

Upon completion of the program, participants will be offered a paid work placement.

Duval said the funding included a tool kit for each student as well as WHMIS, health and safety and CPR training.

The program also covered textbooks, safety equipment and certifications.

Moving forward, Duval added the goal is to double the program’s funding so they can offer two semesters each year.

Lakeh said he was really impressed with the program.

“The things we learn here are very important. You get the tools you need to work and there is lots of training,” he said.

And like many of his classmates, Lakeh already has a job – one that he got through the program.

eonard Cohen was in his thirties by the time he found his calling.

He had poetry within him his entire adult life – perhaps even younger.

He wrote passionate poems and gathered a meagre following – but he never found success in that realm.

It wasn’t until he began writing songs that he found his place in the world.

In interviews, Cohen explains that his songwriting was not simply poetry set to music.

He said the words to a song come from a different part of the heart.

Poetry, he said, is the expression of an inner voice or running commentary.

Songwriting is sharing that voice with everyone else who cares to listen.

When Cohen wrote the song “Hallelujah” in 1984, it did not receive critical acclaim.

One critic said he “didn’t get it.” Like many songwriters, Cohen’s own performance of

DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife his songs is an acquired taste.

It’s when the song is adopted and adapted by someone else that it comes to life. And man, did that song come to life.

The first person to make “Hallelujah” his own was Australia’s Jeff Buckley, in 1994.

His haunting version, where his voice breaks and he runs out of breath, pulls the listener along with him through whatever painful memories the melody evokes.

The song has travelled globally, inspiring artists to put their own spin on it.

I, like many other Canadians, didn’t become aware of the song until it fell into the hands of Ms. Kathryn Dawn

Lang of Alberta.

I don’t believe the song came to her by accident. The artist known as k.d. lang took that tune and put her own mournful, spiritual phrasing on it.

She ploughed the depths and reached the heights of emotion with that song.

She sings it barefoot. It is the one song she cannot leave out of any concert playlist.

To many people, her version of Leonard Cohen’s song has become her signature. And it has become his masterpiece.

I love many of Leonard Cohen’s songs – especially when my daughter and her fiancé sing them.

If you can remove a sliver of the darkness from my blindness, you are a true artist.”

I sent the note to a former McGill classmate of Leonard Cohen, who lives in Kemptville.

He said there was a very good chance the note was written by the artist himself, as “it sounds like him.”

The note is one of my treasures, and it reminds me to be quiet, to listen and to share what I’ve heard.

That is Leonard Cohen’s legacy and gift to us – he wants us to listen to ourselves, to believe in ourselves and to follow the path that is so clearly laid out before each of us.

We all have a calling.

t was hard for me to figure out the difference between magic and a miracle.

My sister Audrey said they were just about the same thing. And yet I knew in my heart, that a miracle was an act of God. Hadn’t our Lutheran minister said so?

But both miracles and magic were all around me on our farm in Northcote, and I was hard pressed to tell the difference. It gave me plenty to think about. It was surely magic how Myrtle the telephone operator knew exactly where everyone was at any given time in Northcote. Many was the time our phone would ring and it would be Myrtle to say someone’s barn was on fire, and the whole community would be in a turmoil.

Or she would announce that the Saturday night house party was at the Thom’s. Now,

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories how she would know all this to me was pure magic. And a miracle happened, or maybe it was magic, every single night right in our summer kitchen.

The fresh milk was brought in in milk cans, I thought bluish in colour, and some miracle happened during the night. By morning, when I was sent out with the strainer and the big brown bowl, the entire tops of the cans would be yellow with cream! Now how the cream came to the top, without the help of anyone’s hand, to me, was pure magic.

And how, if I fell asleep on top of someone’s bed while

visiting at a Saturday night house party, without my even being aware of it, I would be moved, and I would waken in my own bed in the morning! Now, how could that be?

Magic? I thought so.

More often than by sheer chance, my Uncle Lou always seemed to appear when we needed him most. Mother would be lonely, missing all that she had left behind in her beloved New York, and there would be Uncle Lou’s big black Buick with the gold eagle on the hood coming in our long lane.

See MARY, page 21

Mary remembers the miracles Continued from page 20

I called our Uncle Lou our miracle. Or when Mother’s egg money failed to meet our everyday needs, and there wasn’t enough money to even buy coal oil for the lamps, a letter would arrive from Uncle Lou, and tucked inside would be an American $20 bill. I knew that was a miracle, and not magic.

And of course, the fact that both Mother and Miss Crosby knew what was going on around them without as much as raising their eyes from whatever they were busy at, to me was magic.

I often closed my eyes and tried to figure out what was happening a few feet away, and could see absolutely nothing! No, with Mother and Miss Crosby, that had to be magic.

And one of the biggest miracles of all to me, was when winter had settled

in, and even with the snow banked against the outside walls of our house, stockings crammed into the frames of the windows, the old log house was still drafty and cold. Even the Findlay Oval was no match for the cold of the winter’s blasts.

And yet, when I would go to the stable with Father at night, as I often did, the barns would be as warm as toast.

There was no stove, no stove pipe, nothing to bring in heat, and yet the cows were warm to touch, and the horses, at one end of the barn, were toasty warm, too. Was that magic, or a miracle? It was a question with no answer.

But surely the biggest miracle of all was that we were able to survive the Depression raging all around us.

The Ottawa Farm Journal, without fail, showed long lines of men lined up in the big cities, looking for food vouchers, or a place to

sleep, or any job that would help put food on their own tables. And there we were, out in Northcote, with a smoke house full of meat, cellar shelves crammed with jars of pickles, preserves and vegetables in brine.

And there were always eggs, chickens and sticky buns to peddle door to door in Renfrew to bring in a few cents to buy what we could not grow ourselves. And at every meal our table was laden with food.

Never once did we ever feel hungry in a country where there was so much hunger.

Surely, that was the biggest miracle of all.

Lobster Stuffed Tenderloin with Grilled Asparagus and Crispy Potato Rosti is one entrée available for weddings at ALE Have you heard of ALE? My guess is probably not. ALE is an acronym for Amberwood Lounge & Eatery. This public eatery and event centre is nestled on Amberwood Golf Course, right off Hazeldean Road, on Springbrook Drive. With minimal visible signage due to ALE’s “off the main road” location, the restaurant is literally a diamond in the rough – golf course rough that is.

Opened in April 2016, ALE has been steadily gaining clientele from Stittsville and beyond.

The Amberwood facility has seen several restaurants come and go over the years and ALE is determined to make an everlasting impression on all of its guests. With a fresh approach to dining and a beautiful interior renovation, ALE’s owners are quickly proving to the community that they are in it for the long haul. ALE’s regular operations are managed by Sarah St. Michael and Nicolle Carson – two young and inspired entrepreneurs who see the incredible value and quality that ALE provides its guests for all dining experiences.

Sarah, ALE’s General Manager says “ALE offers something for every single person in our community. Our restaurant provides a blend of casual and fine dining to give our guests delicious food and great service at an affordable price point. Value for money is something we are very conscious of at ALE. You don’t have to be a golf member or a part of the immediate community to enjoy the ALE experience. We’re aware that there are so many dining options in the west end; we work hard every day to make sure our guests’ expectations are exceeded”.

Not just a year round operating restaurant, ALE is also Ottawa’s hottest new event centre. “We’ve had the opportunity to be the host venue for many different events, 22 West Carleton Review - Thursday, November 17, 2016

ranging from birthday parties, to weddings to celebrations of life. We’ve also made a large push to reach out and partner with other local businesses to provide meeting space and create other unique events.

I think our attention to detail and the ability to customize events to each host’s liking is what makes ALE such a great venue option” says Nicolle, Assistant General Manager and Event Coordinator.

ALE just launched its new fall/winter menu and their Red Seal Executive Chef, Jason Potvin, has created some delicious comfort foods, each with a small special twist. ALE opens nightly Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at 4 PM and is serving menu items such as their signature Portobello Mushroom Fries, Five Spice Pork Chop, a Slider Trio and 3 signature Steak options. Sharing boards and creative homemade desserts like their S’Mores Dip make for an exciting dining experience. ALE opens at 9 AM for breakfast on Saturdays and Sundays and stays open right through dinner.

ALE also offers some greatly weekly events, such as Bring Your Own Wine for a $7 Corking Fee on Wednesdays and Afternoon Tea (a version of high tea) on Sundays by reservation only. Nicolle adds that ALE is looking forward to planning and hosting some exciting events in the New Year, such as a wine tasting evening and a family friendly character tea party.

One thing’s for sure – this is an exciting addition to the west end’s dining and events scene!

ALE – Amberwood Lounge & Eatery is located at 54 Springbrook Drive in Stittsville. ALE can be contacted by phone at 613.831.2442 or on the web at aleottawa.ca

Canada 150 celebration policing money still a question mark Continued from page 10

But the community needs to come forward if they want to stop the people that commit these crimes, he said.

Another stabbing occurred on Rideau and Nelson streets the same night as the board meeting.

The police force doubled their overtime budget for 2016 as a result of the increased crime, overspending by $2.5 million.

Despite that, Debra Frazer, director general of corporate services for the police, said the police force believes that their new frontline deployment will be more “flexible and nimble” to help deal with staffing needs.

Several councillors on the police services board asked chief Bordeleau if the planned 25 new hires would be enough to deal with the increase in violent crime.

Ottawa police will be changing their service delivery model in January, which the chief and other senior members say will help to address staffing issues.

For the time being, 25 officers, along with 25 officers that were freed up from front desk work within the force should be enough, Bordeleau said.

The hiring of 25 officers will cost $2.1 million, the report to the board says.

The force hired 25 officers this year and will be hiring 25 in 2018 – bringing that total to 100 new officers over three years.

There’s a perception that the changes to the frontline deployment model will reduce community policing officers by 33 per cent, Knoxdale-Merivale Coun.

Keith Egli said. Egli attended the board meeting to deliver letters from some of his community associations, as well as the Knoxdale-Merivale Community Association – which represents the community associations across the ward.

the cost of policing the city’s celebrations for the country’s 150th birthday.

Bordeleau said the force has identified 10 major events, which will cost $1.5 million to police, but the force should recoup those costs from other levels of government or the organizers.

The problem is, the event list is constantly changing, and there’s no guarantee that other levels of government will pitch in.

“The city is aware that if we don’t recoup the costs, we could be in a deficit situation at the end of next year,” Frazer said.

The draft budget will represent $11 increase on the average homeowners property tax bill.

The forecast budget from 2018-2020 includes 2.7, 2.6 and 2.3 percent increases respectively.

The city will table the draft budget on Nov. 9. The board will hear public delegations on their CANADA 150 portion on Nov. 28.

The budget is slated for The big question mark during budget deliberations is approval on Dec. 14.

Notice of Completion of Class Environmental Assessments (Class EA) Updated Serviceability Report for the Leitrim Development Area (OPA 76 Areas 8a, 9a and 9b) In 2012, as per Official Plan Amendment 76 (OPA 76), the City increased its urban envelope by over 900 hectares. Part of the urban expansion occurred in the Leitrim Development Area (LDA). Specifically, OPA 76 Areas 8a, 9a and 9b were added to the LDA resulting in an additional 87.2 hectares of urban land. OPA 76 urban expansion areas were not included in the servicing strategy for the original 2005 LDA lands Community Design Plan, therefore, an updated servicing plan for the LDA has been prepared. The map illustrates the Leitrim Development Area and OPA Expansion Lands.

This LDA servicing study was undertaken in accordance with the requirements for Schedule B projects under the current Municipal Class Environmental Assessment document following an integrated planning and environmental assessment provisions (Section A.2.9) The Updated Serviceability Report (OPA76 Areas 8A, 9A and 9B) for the LDA determined the following: 1.

The LDA falls within the City’s 3C water pressure zone and is currently serviced with potable water from the Ottawa South Pumping Station, trunk watermains and local distribution system throughout the built up area. This water supply system has the capacity to support the planned LDA expansion, and will provide a reliable water service which meets the City’s level of service objectives.

2.

All wastewater flows from the LDA are tributary to the Leitrim Sanitary Pump Station (LPS). The LPS discharges to twin forcemains constructed along Bank Street and outlet to the Conroy Road Collector Sewer which is located near the intersection of Bank Street and Conroy Road. The firm capacity of the LPS has excess capacity required to support the 87 hectares LDA expansion.

This is in part due to the fact that actual wastewater flows are less than the projected flow rates considered for the original design of the station. The four existing sub-trunk sewers within the existing LDA each have sufficient capacity to service the expanded LDA sanitary drainage areas as well.

3.

The LDA stormwater management system consists of a dual drainage network such as stormwater collection pipes; overland flow routes, watercourses and stormwater ponds. To facilitate the OPA 76 expansion lands, the required stormwater infrastructure will include new trunk storm sewers, a constructed channel for rural flow conveyance and the expansion of the existing Findlay Creek Village Stormwater Facility to provide water quantity and quality control.

A Class EA project file report has been prepared documenting the problem statement, existing conditions, identifications and evaluation of alternatives and the selection of the preferred solutions, public and agency consultation as well as potential development impacts and mitigation measure.

By way of this Notice, the Class EA report is being placed on the public record for a 30 day review starting on November 17, 2016. The report is available for public review at the following locations: City Hall, Client Service Centre 110 Laurier Avenue West Ottawa, ON K1P 1J1, Tel. 613-580-2400

Karen McCrimmon Serving Constituents of Kanata-Carleton

Member of Parliament Kanata-Carleton Poppy Sales I was pleased to join the Air Cadets from 706 Ottawa Snowy Owl Air Cadet Squadron, and Navy Cadets from the Centurion Sea Cadet Corps as they sold Remembrance Day poppies.

It was terrific to meet and chat with such engaged young citizens, and to speak to so many constituents. I hope you all had a chance to attend a ceremony to thank and pay tribute to our Veterans.

Stonehaven Manor Sing-Along What a thrill to listen to Grade 2 and 3 students as they performed war-time songs to residents of Stonehaven Manor. Everyone had such a great time and the students did an amazing job. I would like to extend my thanks to the organizers for their kind invitation to attend and sing along with the students. Following the singing, I was delighted to speak to the seniors and answer their questions.

West Carleton Remembrance Day Service I want to thank the West Carleton Legion for their excellent Remembrance Day ceremony in Constance Bay. I was thrilled to see so many people turn out for the event, and it was great to see so many young people. As always, it was nice to meet and speak to Veterans and their familities.

Ottawa Veterans Honoured

It was my privilege to attend a medals ceremony at the Embassy of France. The French ambassador presented 8 Ottawa-area Veterans the insignia of Knight in the National Order of the Legion of Honor of the French Republic, on behalf of the Government of France. The Veterans were awarded the medal for their contributions during the Second World War.

Aboriginal Remembrance Day In my capacity as Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Veterans Affairs, I was honoured to attend an Aboriginal Veterans Day Ceremony in Winnipeg. I was happy to speak to so many people from this great community.

Taking medicine from bench to bedside

BY MEGAN DELAIRE mdelaire@metroland.com

In a laboratory on the sixth floor of the Ottawa Hospital’s critical care wing, situated on the General campus, Dr. Duncan Stewart and his team of researchers are using stem cells in ways no researcher has before.

His stem cell therapy trials – studying the effects of the cells on patients being treated for pulmonary hypertension, heart attack and septic shock – are unprecedented.

Stewart – who, in addition to his scientific research is an active clinician with a roster of patients – was presented with the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute’s Dr. J. David Grimes Career Achievement Award for his ongoing work with stem cells on Nov. 5.

It’s not his first accolade, but the context in which he was nominated makes it special for Stewart.

“It’s particularly important to me because it comes from the people I work with, my colleagues here at the institute that decide who should be this year’s

Dr. Duncan Stewart, a Nepean resident, was recently recognized for past and ongoing research into stem cell therapies when he received the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute’s Dr. J. David Grimes Career Achievement Award during the Ottawa Hospital Gala on Nov. 5. recipient of these awards,” Stewart said.

“So the fact that these folks I work with and have the utmost respect for have decided that I should get this award makes it very special.”

Although the award recognizes an OHRI researcher’s longstanding career, Stewart’s work in clinical stem cell trials is far from over.

After wrapping up 2016 with new praise for past work, in 2017 he will set his sights on his next big project: the second phase of the original pulmonary hypertension trial.

Stewart launched that trial in 2006 while working in Toronto, 10 years after a revelation over steak dinner.

In the 1990s, Stewart conducted research using gene and stem cell therapy t o treat the

deadly disease – a chronic highblood pressure condition affecting arteries in the lungs and the right side of the heart – in animal models. Untreated, the disease often leads to heart failure.

In the mid-’90s he was invited to dine with a lawyer whose daughter suffered from pulmonary hypertension. Over dinner, the man urged Stewart to shift his focus from animal models to human ones, in hopes that he could develop a cure for the rare condition.

That was when Stewart realized if he didn’t develop therapies to treat the then under-researched condition, there was a chance no one would.

Stewart said there is limited research because the disease isn’t widespread and there is not a lot of money in it for pharmaceutical companies.

“I realized that unless, as an acting researcher-physician, I started working in this area and trying to develop something, it wasn’t going to happen,” he said.

His first trial in 2006 yielded positive results, with patients finding it easier to breathe and exercise after the therapy.

It didn’t come in time to save the lawyer’s daughter, but it did lay the groundwork for an important bridge between the laboratory and the clinic – or the bench and the bedside – that Stewart has been working to build ever since.

Ward 5 West Carleton-March Tabling of the City of Ottawa’s Draft Budget for 2017 On November 9, the draft budget for 2017 was tabled at City Council. It focuses on strengthening core municipal services with a continued commitment to long-term affordability, while capping the residential property tax at 2 per cent. Some highlights include: • $4.5 million increase to the base budget for winter maintenance; • $23 million for upgrades to rural roads allowing the City to repair or resurface over 110km of rural roads in 2017. This will include just over $2 million in matching funding by the Federal Government to provide facilities for safer cycling routes for rural residents; • An additional $1 million top-up over the next two years to rural road upgrades allowing repair work on more roads in the four rural wards; • $3 million dollars to the Bayshore to Kanata LRT Environmental Assessment – a critical milestone in the future expansion of LRT farther west; • Ottawa Police Services adding 75 new police officers over three years, including 25 officers in 2017 • An investment in paramedic services of 43 new front-line service providers between 2016 and 2018, with 24 new paramedics in 2017 • Funding to plant 125,000 trees in order to increase the forest cover in rural, suburban and urban areas.

These trees will assist in replenishing areas ravaged by the Emerald Ash Borer; and • Funding for the 150 Maple Grove Project, which will plant a grove of 150 Canadian maple trees in every ward as a living legacy of our 2017 celebrations; There are still opportunities for the public to offer input before the final budget goes to Council for consideration on December 14. Residents can: • Register to speak at a committee, board or commission budget review meeting from November 10 to December 8.

My elderly mother was diagnosed with dementia a few months ago. She is rapidly deteriorating. She does not have signed Power of Attorney documents. I have three other siblings. We need to sell her house and get access to her finances to pay her bills. What do we have to do?

Attorney under Power of Attorney Depending on your mother’s current mental capacity she might still be able to appoint an attorney under power of attorney for property or personal care. In order to determine whether your mother still has the mental capacity to execute power of attorney documents she will have to undergo a capacity assessment performed by a specially trained health care professional. If the capacity assessment finds that your mother has capacity to appoint an attorney under powers of attorney, she can visit a lawyer to help her prepare and sign powers of attorney documents.

Guardianship If your mother does not have the mental capacity to appoint an attorney, you and your siblings can apply to be appointed Guardians of Property for your mother. There are two ways this can be achieved: by applying to the Office of the Public

St. Paul’s United Church gets new reverend Rev. Roi first permanent minister in over two years

BY KELLY MCCARTHY kmccarthy@metroland.com

There’s a new reverend in town.

After two years without a permanent minister, St. Paul’s United Church in Carp has found a new service leader: Rev. Debbie Roi. Roi is no stranger to small communities like Carp and Dunrobin. She’s lived nearby in Almonte for the last 20 years, and has spent time presiding over congregations there and in the city.

“I love being in the smaller communities,” Roi said of her decision to come to Carp. “I wanted to be in more of a rural congregation.”

Roi took over as minister on Oct. 17, coming to St. Paul’s from the Parkdale United Church in Ottawa where she worked for three years. Before that, she was a minister in the Pakenham and Cedar Hill area.

Roi brings with her several years of experience as a minister and a Masters of Divinity from Queen’s University.

However, Roi has not been a minister for her whole professional career – before she

pursued a career as a reverend, Roi was an occupational therapist.

“I had always wanted to be a minister, though,” she said.

“Ever since high school.”

“It’s a lot of work, but when you’re doing something you love it doesn’t feel like work.”

Now that she’s in Carp, Roi said she’s settling in well.

“The people here are so incredible,” she said. “They are so involved in the community and their church.”

Roi is taking the reins from about a dozen ministers who filled in part time over the last couple of years, including Neil Wallace and Eileen Happlewhite. Both will be staying on as voluntary associate ministers.

So far, Roi said she’s been impressed with how welcoming and friendly the community has been – saying it definitely lives up to its recent reputation as the friendliest community in Canada.

“I’m not surprised there,” Roi said of the accolade.

As for how she’ll do things around the church, Roi said she’d like to keep things pretty traditional.

The church has a good roster of events and community projects already, she said, and she’ll do her best to keep those running.

In the next few weeks, St.

Paul’s United Church will be fully immersed in its Christmas season. To kick things off, the church will host their Festive Fair on Saturday, Dec. 3. Between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., the church will be filled with vendors selling baking, jams, jellies, homemade tourtieres.

There will also be a white elephant table and a silent auction.

‘I feel very, very lucky to be here. It feels like home.’

REV. DEBBIE ROI

Later on, the church will host its annual Christmas Eve services as well.

Roi said that she’d like her church to be a place where everyone and anyone feels welcome.

“I want the community to feel like this is a place they can come to,” she said. “I am very open to people coming to any of our services – we have an open door policy.”

Roi will host services in Carp (3760 Carp Rd.) on Sundays at 10:30 a.m. and in Dunrobin (2701 Dunrobin Rd.) every second Sunday at 9 a.m.

“I feel very, very lucky to be here,” Roi said of her new position with St. Paul’s. “It feels like home.”

Rev. Debbie Roi is the new minister at St. Paul’s United Church in Carp and Dunrobin. She’s the first permanent minister the church has had in the last two years.

Ottawa libraries provided $256 million in benefits in 2015

BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

For every dollar spent in the library system, there’s more than $5 in economic benefits, according to a new study.

Presented by David Fleming, a financial planning consultant, to the Ottawa Public Library Board on Nov. 8, the study is the first of its kind for the public lender.

“This a moment to be overjoyed with our library system,” Fleming said of the FOR SALE

in 2015 and delivers a 417 per cent return on investment.

It breaks down to $179.1 million in direct benefits and $76.9 million in indirect benefits.

That’s $635 per household, $1,038 per cardholder and $266 per citizen.

The next step is to look at the social benefits of having libraries. That study is planned for 2018.

“The social impacts are much larger,” Fleming said, adding it’s hard to put a val-

study’s results.

To come to that figure, he used a methodology similar to ones used in other jurisdictions and developed for the Toronto Public Library.

Fleming used a two-pronged approach looking at direct benefits like those from customers using OPL’s products and services and indirect benefits from OPL spending on its building and employees.

Fleming found the library generates $256 million in benefits for the region

looked at.

“You can’t isolate this stuff; it’s like two halves and they should be considered together.”

Since the study uses a method used by other Ontario libraries, board member Kathy Fisher wondered how the city stacked up compared to the others.

“Are we ahead of the curve, are we a leader, or are we a follower?” she asked.

Fleming assured her that using the model the library compares well and it’s con-

ue on children’s literacy.

That study will look at the social determinants of health, including income and social status.

“We want to be able to capture that too to help direct activities going forward.”

Answering a question by board member Allan Higdon about how the study could be used to enhance the overall system or be used to look at gaps, Fleming said those decisions could be made after the social side is

sistent with other libraries doing this kind of work, even though during the study they made some conservative adjustments.

“We all know libraries have value and that people in Ontario derive benefit … now we actually put a figure to that for our libraries,” said library CEO Danielle McDonald in response to the numbers presented.

“And when you think about the cost of ignorance, it puts it all in perspective,” chimed in Higdon.

Spanish influence found in apple almond custard tart Almonds are an important crop in Spain. A frozen pie shell saves a step, but if you prefer, make and bake a tart shell. This is best served the day it is made.

Preparation time: 20 minutes Cooking time: 50 minutes Serves 6 to 8 INGREDIENTS

• 1 frozen 9-inch (23 cm) deep-dish pie shell • 2 tbsp (25 mL) butter, softened • 1/4 cup (50 mL) granulated sugar (approx) • 1/2 cup (125 mL) ground almonds • 1 egg • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) almond extract • 2 tbsp (25 mL) all-purpose flour • 3 cups (750 mL) thinly sliced peeled apples, such as Ida Red (two to three depending on size) • 3 tbsp (45 mL) apricot jam, melted and strained PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

Carefully remove pie shell from foil pie

plate. Place in 9-inch (23 cm) tart pan with removable bottom. When thawed, about 10 minutes, prick pie shell all over with fork and press edge of pie shell into sides of pan. Bake in 375°F (190°C) oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Let cool completely on wire rack.

In bowl, beat butter with sugar.

Beat in ground almonds, then egg and almond extract.

Stir in flour. Spread evenly in cooled tart shell. Arrange apples on top; sprinkle with 1 tbsp (15 mL) more sugar.

Bake in 375°F (190°C) oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until apples are tender. Let cool on wire rack 15 minutes. Remove side of pan; place tart on serving plate.

FLOOR PLAN

November 2016 Canada’s new homeowners have spoken and home builders are listening.

That, according to the Greater Ottawa Home Builders’ Association (GOHBA), is the end result of a national study undertaken in the past year, a study that sought input from more than 23,000 new home owners across the country.

The survey’s findings, outlined at www. gohba.ca and available for purchase off the Canadian Home Builders Association (CHBA) website at http:// www.chba.ca/buyersurvey.aspx, gives home builders a better understanding of what their potential customers are looking for. Undertaken by the CHBA and Avid Ratings Canada, the report serves up some valuable data specific to the nation’s capital that helps bridge the gap between those in the industry and those in the market for a new home.

According to GOHBA, the information can also be a great tool for anyone focused on turning their dream into reality, whether it’s that growing family looking for a larger singledetached home close to schools and other city services or a retiree seeking to downsize to a quiet neighbourhood.

And that’s where we hope Floor Plan comes in. This monthly supplement, presented in your Metroland community newspaper, also aims to provide readers with important information, bringing potential home buyers together with some of the finest builders this country has to offer.

Ultimately the decision on such a significant purchase is a personal one, one that requires plenty of homework.

We’re pleased to provide this special section to help make that process just a little easier. And please look for more great ideas in our next supplement inside your Metroland newspaper Thursday, January 26, 2017 Ryland Coyne Editor-in-Chief Metroland Media East Vice-President & Regional Publisher Peter Bishop Editor-in-Chief Ryland Coyne Managing Editor Theresa Fritz Director of Advertising Cheryl Hammond General Manager Mike Tracy New Homes Account Specialist Geoff Hamilton 613-282-6834

2 Floor Plan - Thursday, November 17, 2016

HOME BUILDING METHODS FACE MAJOR CHANGES (MS) - All across North America, home builders tend to agree that the better real estate investments -- for both the occupant and for future re-sale value -- may be best served by a whole new approach to construction. One major change addressing energy consumption and rising fuel costs is the optional use of an air-tight, solid concrete system to replace inefficient wood framing. Insulated concrete forms (ICFs) erect a building with an interlocking system, similar to Lego.

“It’s a switch for builders, but those who have switched over tell us it’s quite easy to build with ICFs,” says Todd Blyth at Nudura, a leading name in the field. “Customer demand has driven this change and builders are now seeing how green construction options can have a positive impact on their business.”

Indeed, concrete is plentiful and it’s in high demand. The ICF system is now the choice wallbuilding method on ‘net-zero’ construction projects south of the border. The term net-zero applies to buildings that are so energy efficient they don’t tap any public utility fuel supplies at all. ICF construction has already produced netzero elementary schools in the United States, where Canadian technology was applied with the Nudura system of ICFs. The goal in the future is for as many homes, schools, and public buildings as possible to be designed for netzero from the ground up.

Building guide

If this type of energy-efficiency sounds right for you, too, be sure to make specific requests to your builder, Blyth says. Underscoring these proactive measures, the non-profit organization LEED also reminds us that constructing a green home leaves a much smaller carbon footprint due to less demand on natural resources.

It will create less waste and be healthier and more comfortable for the occupants. If you’re

thinking about building to the LEED standard, take a look at just one example of the efficiency and benefits if you switch from wood-framing to concrete. The ICF system is explained and found at nudura.com, with a snapshot here: Fuel Savings: Walls built with ICFs are proven to reduce energy bills up to 70 percent; reduce greenhouse gas emissions; and reduce or eliminate exposure to mold, mildew and other indoor toxins. The net cost over time is comparable to that of owning a conventional home and the resale return is generally assured.

Durability: Concrete is expected to stand the test of time. Due to high impact resistance, these concrete walls assure maximum safety in high wind areas. Fire resistance is also reported

to be maximized at four hours.

Comfort: As opposed to wood frames, air gaps are eliminated and that minimizes the potential for mould growth and draft. The end result is an airtight structure that enables the mechanical systems to heat, cool and ventilate the structure more efficiently, creating a healthier living and working environment.

Responsibility: The materials are totally recyclable and the system is designed to create less waste (for landfill) during the construction process. Combined with other eco-construction methods, this concrete system will significantly reduce carbon emissions by lowering the amount of fossil fuels needed for heating and cooling.

PROS AND CONS OF OPEN FLOOR PLANS Open floor plans have evolved to be the floor plan of choice in new homes and current home renovations. Turn on a home renovation show, and you’re likely to see eager homeowners knocking down walls to open the kitchen to the family room. Walls have become anathema to homeowners.

There are many supporters of the open floor plan, particularly those who entertain frequently or like to keep an eye on children throughout the house.

Although open floor plans are touted, there are plenty of people who have never been enamored with having all of their rooms flowing into one. There also are some people who prefer a different style.

For those who are not fans of the open floor plan, blame the excess of the 1980s for their inception. In homes built in the 1960s and 1970s, rooms were compartmentalized and isolated for specific activities. During the 1980s, an era of “bigger is better,” when entertaining was widely popular among homeowners, designers noticed that many homeowners preferred an open floor plan in which rooms merged into one another, creating the illusion of more space.

These floor plans also enable people to be in separate rooms and still interact with one an-

other across the space.

A home’s floor plan largely depends on the preference of the homeowner. There are many advantages to having an open floor plan versus one that is more compartmentalized. Here is a look at some of the pros and cons.

Pro: Open floor plans can be safer for parents of young children. If the home opens up with the living spaces branching off from the kitchen, parents can keep an eye on children while the parents prepare dinner. It also eliminates the number of places that kids can hide and get into mischief.

Con:Privacy is reduced in a home with few walls. Much in the way that an open floor plan enables children to be seen from every angle, it also enables you to be seen -- and all of your belongings as well. There’s also no place to retreat to if you need a minute to collect yourself when entertaining. You’re on display unless you retreat to the bathroom.

Pro: Entertaining can be easier in a home with an open floor plan because hosts and hostesses are not separated from their guests or holed up in the kitchen the entire time. An open space enables everyone to mingle and conversations to flow.

Con: Those who like to host events without showing guests all of their dirty dishes or se-

crets of the kitchen may dislike an open floor plan.

Pro: Light can flow effectively through an open space, minimizing dark rooms and reducing the need to install more windows. Light in and of itself can help a home feel more spacious.

Con: While light can flow easily, so can sound. Noises through the house may be amplified. A student doing homework in the dining room may be disturbed by the television blaring in the family room. Talking on the phone or even finding a quiet nook to read a book may be challenging.

Pro:Open floor plans allow for more family time together in one space than a home with a more compartmentalized layout.

Con: People who are collectors or who have a lot of furniture or accent items may find that open floor plans do not work well with this type of design mantra.

Pro: Because several rooms run into one another, color choices for walls and furnishings in a home with an open floor plan can be limited and cohesive, making choices easier.

Con: On the flip side, those who want to incorporate different color schemes and eclectic styles may have difficulty deciding on where to “end” rooms or how to co-mingle furniture.

OPTIONS ABOUND WHEN LAYING A NEW DRIVEWAY A driveway is more than just a place to park your car. The right driveway material can add considerable curb appeal to your home, increasing its resale value along the way.

Homeowners have many options at their disposal when choosing a driveway material, and the right material for one home may not be the best fit for another. The following is a rundown of popular driveway surfaces and what homeowners can expect of each of them.

Brick

Many homeowners believe brick driveways provide the most aesthetic appeal, and it’s hard to argue with the beauty of brick driveways and walkways. Brick driveways come in various colors and hues, and many homeowners opt to have the color of their brick driveways match their landscaping, which further adds to curb appeal. But that curb appeal is only appealing if the driveway is designed and installed correctly, and homeowners can expect to pay a premium for that, as brick driveway installation is very labor intensive.

Gravel

Gravel driveways may not be as commonplace as they once were, but this cost effective driveway material is still an option. Homeowners who live in regions with mild winters without snow might benefit most from gravel driveways, which can be difficult to negotiate when shoveling snow. Gravel tends to be the least expensive driveway material to install, but professionals may recommend that a new top layer of gravel be laid once or twice a year to replace material lost to wind and everyday usage.

Asphalt

Asphalt remains a popular drive-

way material, thanks in large part to its practicality and ease of installation. Unlike other driveway surface materials, asphalt is available in just one color, black, and that lack of versatility has led many homeowners to consider other options. But asphalt remains an affordable driveway surface material that’s relative-

ly easy to repair. Cracks and holes in asphalt are somewhat common, but resealing such blemishes once every three to five years is typically enough to maintain the appearance of an asphalt driveway.

Concrete

Concrete driveways are popular

thanks in large part to their affordability and aesthetic appeal. Concrete can be susceptible to extremely cold weather, but many homeowners prefer concrete because of its versatility.

Concrete can be stamped or dyed to provide a unique look, which can increase curb appeal. Concrete can be expensive to maintain, particularly

when the material cracks. In addition, gas and oil spills are more noticeable on a concrete surface than other driveway surface materials.

When replacing an existing driveway, homeowners have an array of new surface materials to choose from, and each material has its pros and cons.

HOW TO GET HIGH HEAT WITHOUT THE HIGH BILLS There’s nothing cozier than a warm home during the winter months.

But does your jaw drop every time you see your bill? High energy costs are a burden and frustration for many of us who are looking to reduce our monthly expenses while still keeping our home warm.

Fortunately there are a number of energy efficient heat source op4 Floor Plan - Thursday, November 17, 2016

tions to consider. Before making a transition, make sure that you carefully weigh all your heating options.

Research thoroughly and choose the option that’s best suited for your home.

“No matter what type of renovation project you’re working on, contact your insurance company to let them know,” recommends Glenn Cooper from Aviva Canada. “New features such as a new heating sys-

tem can impact your coverage, so it’s something you need to tell your insurer about.”

Here are three alternative ways that many people are now using to heat their homes:

1. Solar power.

Perhaps the most popular alternative way to heat your home and water, solar power uses panels, collectors, or evacuated tubes to pow-

er heating or water.

2. Geothermal heating.

This method of heating is efficient and environmentally friendly. This system uses the earth’s heat, large coils that are buried underground, and a compressor to extract heat from water stored in tubes. While the initial cost to install the system is expensive, it may increase the re-

sale value of your home.

3. Hydronic heating.

Also referred to as radiant floor heating, this energy efficient method uses tubes that run under the floors of your home. Hot water is pumped through the plastic tubes to heat your floors and rooms.

KEEP POINSETTIAS LOOKING GREAT Along with the fragrant evergreens and twinkling lights synonymous with the holiday season, poinsettias make up a key component of holiday decorating.

Unlike holly and some of the other greenery that is commonly associated with the holidays, poinsettias do not naturally thrive in the colder temperatures.

These plants originate in southern Mexico and were considered an exotic plant when first introduced to the United States by Joel Robert Poinsett, the first American ambassador to Mexico.

Poinsettias can be fickle plants and ones that gardening novices may find challenging to maintain. The plants are comprised of green foliage, colorful (often red) flower bracts, and the actual flowers of the plants, which are the red or green buttonlike parts nestled in the center of the bracts.

Because they are a tropical plant, poinsettias can be damaged by exposure to low temperatures, even if they are only exposed for short periods of time. They should be wrapped and protected against the elements when brought home. For maximum plant life, poinsettias need to be placed near a warm, sunny window, or another area that has ample amounts of light. They thrive in temperatures between 60 and 75 F and should be kept away from warm or cold drafts.

Water the plant whenever the surface feels dry to the touch.

Water until it drains out the bottom, but don’t let the plant sit in

water. Over- or under-watering can cause leaves to drop prematurely and wilt. If your home lacks in humidity, you may need to water the plant more frequently. Poinsettias do not need to be fertilized while the plant is in bloom.

The Ohio State University Extension says poinsettias can be reflowered the following Christmas, but unless a yearlong schedule of care is observed, the results usually are not good. You can speak with a gardening expert or consult online resources for the proper care schedule. Caring for a poinsettia year-round involves gradually drying out the plant and storing it in a cool location. The plant later will be moved outdoors and then back inside and pruned to keep a full shape.

Poinsettias are short-day plants, which means they flower about 10 weeks after the daylight shortens to about 12 hours or less. Many people find the affordability of poinsettias makes it more convenient to buy new ones each year than try to foster regrowth.

Contrary to popular belief, poinsettias are not poisonous to humans or animals, but they should not be ingested due to the potential for allergic reactions. Poinsettias can help remove pollutants from indoor air, which is advantageous during the winter months when doors and windows are typically kept closed.

Select plants that have dark green foliage and no low or damaged leaves. This ensures the best success for keeping poinsettias looking healthy and vibrant throughout the holiday season.

ENJOY AN ECO-FRIENDLY HOLIDAY SEASON The color green is synonymous with the holiday season, as Christmas trees, mistletoe and holiday wreaths feature prominently throughout the month of December. But there are ways to make this holiday season even greener.

• Choose LED holiday lights. Holiday lighting displays help make the season even more special. But traditional incandescent holiday lights consume considerable amounts of energy and burn out much more quickly than more eco-friendly alternatives. According to Energy.gov, LED holiday lights consume less energy than incandescent holiday lights, and they’re also safer because LED lights burn cool, reducing the risk of combustion. In addition, LED lights are more resistant to breaking than incandescent bulbs, which should please homeowners who want to avoid broken or burned out bulbs that can ruin holiday lighting displays.

• Get creative with wrapping paper. The United States Environmental Protection Agency notes that household waste increases by 25 percent between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day. That translates to about one million extra tons of waste in the roughly five-week holiday season. Much of that waste is wrapping paper. Instead of purchasing holiday wrapping paper that will ultimately end up in landfills, wrap gifts in reusable gift bags or old newspapers lying around the house. If you must use wrapping paper, choose recycled paper. In addition, save bows, ribbons and undamaged wrapping paper to use again next season.

• Turn down the thermostat. Holiday music fans know that the weather outside can be frightful during the holiday season. But holiday hosts inviting friends and family over this year can turn down the thermostat to save energy and make conditions inside the home more comfortable. Extra bodies inside the house will warm the place up, allowing homeowners to turn down the thermostat during parties. If you’re traveling for the season, program your thermostat so you’re not heating an empty home.

• Send e-cards. Holiday cards are a tradition in many families. But paper cards contribute heavily to that extra million tons of holiday-related waste noted by the EPA. In lieu of paper cards, send e-cards. E-cards can be emailed to friends and family, saving the cost of postage and the fuel required to deliver those cards. In addition, e-cards save families the hassle of signing each individual card.

CREATE CURBSIDE APPEAL BEYOND BRIGHT LIGHTS ‘Tis the season to primp your house for that festive time of year. And while holiday lights and tinsel will never go out of style, outdoor winter planters have become a spectacle in their own right. They add the perfect amount of greenery, colour, and ecofriendly cheer to brighten your walkway, front door, or balcony.

Follow these easy steps to create curbside appeal with beautiful winter planters.

1. Get inspired. There are over 1000 images of winter gardens online as well as a huge selection of videos from décor mavens revealing their favourite spin on the holiday planter.

Before you start your own project, make sure you have a vision of the look you’d like to achieve and double check that the colour and sizing fit with your outdoor space.

2. Start with a solid base. Keep your winter extra green with earthsavvy planters. Crescendo Urns made

by Multy Home are a great option.

Made using Ontario recycled tire rubber that would otherwise end up in a landfill, this planter is designed to withstand the cold weather. You can also find recycled rubber mulch to fill the base from a variety of manufacturers. This material is ideal because it drains quickly; resists mold, mildew and fungi; and is non-toxic.

3. Create your masterpiece. Consider the climate and the type of foliage that will last throughout the season. Try hardy materials such as evergreen boughs, birch, dogwood, or winterberries. Experiment with heights and textures and add some non-traditional components to make it your own.

4. Complete the package. Consider additional ways to dress up your outdoors with other earth-friendly décor, such as wreaths made from leftover greenery or even recycled ribbon and corks. Add some function and fashion to your front step with a welcome mat made from recycled tires. If you’re planning on stringing up some lights, just make sure they’re energy efficient.

Jack MacLaren Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills

Town-Hall Meetings On Hydro Rates Why is the cost of hydro so high? How is it possible to use little or no electricity and yet have to pay through the nose for “delivery fees”? Is this all a government shell game or is there some rationale to it?

I’ll be holding four town-hall meetings on the exorbitant hydro rates facing Ottawa residents.

Renowned journalist and Ontario Hydro expert Parker Gallant has agreed to join these Town Halls to brief residents on why Ontario Hydro Rates are some of the highest in the developed world. Parker has written extensively in the Financial Post about the impact of Ontario Hydro rates on communities throughout Ontario.

Parker’s talk is called “Watts in your hydro bill?’ Parker will take you through every line-item on your bill, and he’ll explain what each one covers. If you think the electricity line covers only the cost of generating electricity, you may be shocked at what else it contains.

Here are the dates, times, and locations for all four town-hall meetings: • November 26th, 2016 • 10:00-12:00 Mississippi Mills Stewart Community Centre – Upper Hall 112 MacFarlane St, Pakenham, ON • November 26th, 2016 • 2:00-4:00pm John G Mlacak Centre Bud Purnell (Hall C) 2500 Campeau Dr, Kanata, ON K2K 2W3 • December 3rd, 2016 • 10:00-12:00pm Kinburn Community Centre 3045 Kinburn Side Road, Kinburn, ON • December 3rd, 2016 • 2:00-4:00pm Intercultural Dialogue Institute 335 Michael Cowpland Drive #112, Kanata, ON For more information, please contact his office at 613-599-3000 or email jack.maclarenco@pc.ola.org
