A Barrhaven student has earned top honours at the Ottawa Regional Science Fair, securing an allexpenses paid ticket to the Canada-wide science fair next month for her prize-winning project comparing alternative fuels to diesel. Longfields-Davidson Heights Secondary School student Dhanuddara Mohottalage cleaned up at the Ottawa Regional Science Fair with her project, “Biofuels! The Alternate Solution to Greenhouse Gas Emissions,” which she presented at Carleton University on April 2. She created several biofuels from everyday products and tested their efficiency compared to diesel. She concluded that coconut oil is the best match, not only because of its similar properties to diesel but also because it’s not a particularly healthy food crop. Along with winning the gold medal and $75 for the Intermediate Earth and Environmental Sciences category, she also won the Chemical Institute of Canada’s special award worth $100, and the Natural Resources of Canada award. She will join 10 other gold medal winners from junior, intermediate and senior categories to compete at the Canada-wide fair in Toronto May 14 to 21. The school enjoyed a successful year at the fair, with several other Longfields-Davidson Heights students taking home prizes. Pragaash Prabhaharan won silver in the Intermediate Biotechnology, Engineering & Computing, Physical & Mathematical Sciences, Nuha Siddiqui won bronze in the Intermediate Health Sciences, Medhani Mohottalage, silver in the Intermediate Life Sciences, and Yasin Kherani, bronze in the Junior Earth and Environmental Sciences. Nooh Kabir won silver for a French submission in Junior Health Sciences.

MPP calls for new school funding Ballooning populations in Riverside South and Barrhaven JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
With ballooning populations in Riverside South and Barrhaven, Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod called on the provincial minister of education Leona Dombroksy to OK funding for new schools in the two neighbourhoods. Part of the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board’s city-wide wish list — approved by the Business Services Committee in January — are the expansion of Steve MacLean Elementary School, a new public elementary school in Barrhaven and a new high school in Riverside South. “The Barrhaven population is set to double in the next few years and Riverside South is growing 50 per cent per year,” MacLeod said, adding that four of the seven public schools in Barrhaven have reached capacity. According to the 2006 Canada Census, the population of Barrhaven was 52,000. The City of Otta-
wa estimates that number to reach 100,000 within the next five years. According to the Riverside South Community Association, the population there is expected to grow to more than 50,000 by 2025. The latest figures show about 3,200 households. The OCDSB has asked for a new school in the high growth area of Chapman Mills. “Sending your child to school in your community is a basic right,” MacLeod said. “Barrhaven and Riverside South are bursting at the seams and it’s critical that the province keep up with the increasing demands of a growing and young population. I’ll continue to pressure the Ontario government for a commitment to build a new high school in Riverside South and a new elementary school in the Chapman Mills area of Barrhaven.” In January, Gloucester-Southgate/Osgoode Township/Gloucester-South Nepean school trustee Mark Fisher a new elementary school in south Barrhaven would likely cost $14.1 million, the Findlay Creek project would run for $14 million, the Chapman Mills building would be $13.7 million and the new permanent addition to Steve MacLean is estimated to be $6.7 million.

DANIEL NUGENT-BOWMAN daniel.bowman@metroland.com
In the wake of last week’s TransPlan announcement, Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder is lauding the impacts the improvements should have on area residents. The city’s March 23 plans called for changes to many of Barrhaven’s bus routes – namely the 94 and 95 on a daily basis – plus the completion of the South Transitway extension. Harder said two-thirds of the route 95 buses didn’t go past Baseline Station in Nepean. Now, that number will now be reversed starting April 17. “We’re going to have a better, 24-hour service,” she said at an open house at the Walter Baker Sports Centre on March 29. “You’re going to have to make some connections, but they’re going to be at safe spots like (traffic) lights. Safety and security are always first and foremost.” The 94 will now run from Fallowfield, moving along Woodroffe Avenue to Chapman Mills in most time periods. It will then deviate in peak periods to serve the

RCMP office on Leikin Drive, replacing route 195. The updated route will operate from 6 a.m. until midnight between Barrhaven and Tunney’s Pasture. The $52-million Southwest Transitway extension from Fallowfield Station to Barrhaven Centre at Riocan Avenue will be ready for use on April 17. Harder said she will found a committee, based mostly of students from local high schools to “own the transit corridor.” “You’re best bet is to get your youth involved,” she said. “When you do that they won’t be doing graffiti.” In an interview with the BarrhavenOttawa South This Week last December, Harder had vowed to make public transit a priority by this April. “We need better bus service,” she said previously. “People need to have places to park their cars to get on buses, faster service, and more room so they’re not standing for 45 minutes waiting by the side of the road while buses pass them by.” The March 23 announcement called for $19.5 million in cost-cutting measures within the next year.

Keon going strong despite weekend sign vandalism JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
When Nepean-Carleton Liberal candidate Ryan Keon left his house at 7 a.m. on April 2 he rolled his eyes at some graffiti he saw on an election sign. By the time he got to the office at 8 a.m. the phone was ringing off the hook with calls from concerned residents who had noticed more vandalism in Nepean, Osgoode, Barrhaven, Metcalfe and Greely. Keon’s public signs were tagged overnight with black spray paint. The illustrations included a shooting target spray painted over Keon’s photo. The signs were also tagged with graphic and explicit messages. “Some of the other candidates reported their signs being cut or knocked down,� he said. “But this is the first I have heard
Local candidates jumping on campaign trail in Ottawa South
of someone seemingly getting in their car with a can of paint and going across the riding,� Keon said, adding that the vandalism hasn’t slowed the momentum of his campaign. “The volunteers were out and canvassing on time that morning and that’s going to be what we are doing for the rest of the campaign,� he said. Keon said the vandalism hasn’t seemed to dampen the enthusiasm of the volunteers, who are more fired up than ever. While he said he took down the signs with explicit language, but has left up some signs with markings on his face to keep up his presence. “We have a hard cap on expenses and if we replaced all the signs than we would have to take something out of the budget,� he said. “Everything will continue as planned, this will not distract me.�

Canadians are heading to the polls after opposition parties brought down the Harper government in a non-confidence vote on March 25, and candidates have already hit the campaign trail in full swing. The riding of Nepean-Carleton, which stretches from Boundary Road in the east to Eagleson Road in the west and includes parts of Limebank, Leitrim and Hunt Club Roads, will be hotly contested by incumbent Pierre Poilievre, whose biggest accomplishment since taking office in 2004 has been securing funding for the Strandherd-Armstrong bridge currently under construction across the Rideau River.
Contending candidates include Liberal nominee Ryan Keon, running for the first time. Veteran NDP candidate Ric Dagenais, who has campaigned in Ottawa-Vanier at the provincial level is on the card and Jean-Luc Cooke, also a first-time candidate, will run for the Green Party. In Ottawa South, which is currently held by Liberal MP David McGuinty, the premier’s brother will face opposition from Conservative candidate Elie Salibi and NDP candidate James McLaren. There is currently no Green candidate after a controversy over a candidate-sanctioned event featuring Iranian speakers at Ottawa University caused the candidate Qais Ghanem and the riding association president Chris Hine to step down in November.

Rural and urban residents alike have a few more days to weigh in on the province’s agriculturewildlife conflict strategy, an effort to take measures to prevent livestock losses and injuries from wild animals. The Ontario government is welcoming feedback until April 11, which can be submitted online or by mail. The agriculture-wildlife strategy is part of the province’s larger Strategy for Preventing and Managing Human-Wildlife Conflicts in Ontario, which began in 2008 partly in response to growing numbers of livestock kills from wild animals such as coyotes. The current feedback period is mainly focused on improving the process and compensation for livestock kills, said Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson, who sits on a sister committee with the province addressing ways to prevent humanwildlife conflict in residential areas. “The province has initiated this review to take a look at the agriculture-wildlife issue, and its primary goal is to see if compensation is fair and if there are changes that need to be made,� he explained. Currently, farmers must report a livestock kill by coyotes or other animals to the city of Ottawa, which sends out an inspector to verify the cause of death and compensate accordingly. The province then pays the city back for any compensation payouts. Between 2006 and 2010, approximately 490 livestock kills were reported to the city and $242,000 was paid out to farmers. All but one was blamed on coyotes – the anomaly being blamed on a bear. The strategy is planning to improve access to information and tools for farmers and livestock producers, as well as expand the funding for livestock compensation. It would also expand the list of eligible livestock covered and the types of wildlife that can be compensated for it they damage a crop or livestock. Thompson said this administrative discussion is welcome, but it hasn’t addressed what his committee
think if the committee was to put forward recommendations, that it may impact on this wildlife-livestock issue as well,� Thompson said. Recommendations include allowing city officials to trap, relocate and, if necessary, humanely euthanize problem coyotes, particularly those in residential areas, in order to control the growing coyote population. Thompson noted that livestock kills were reduced in 2010 from the peak in 2009,

was dealing with, such as the increasing numbers of coyotes across the province and particularly in Osgoode Ward and Greely over the past five years. He said he hopes this review will indirectly impact what the city and province can do to solve the problem, for farmers and residents alike. “The ministry has indicated they would allow the city, if needed, to come in to trap and eliminate those animals in residential areas and in rural areas.

emma.jackson@metroland.com After a three-year wait, the City of Ottawa has decided not to fight the owners of the Manotick Drummonds Gas Bar over the proposed construction of a Shoppers Drug Mart on their property. The owners had taken several outstanding issues to the Ontario Municipal Board for an outside ruling. “Drummonds had appealed the committee of adjustment about road widening, and I was able to persuade the city not to contest the appeal that Drummonds had initiated at OMB,” said Osgoode Ward Coun. Doug Thompson. “So the city is saying ‘we agree with everything.’” The Drummonds family, which owns the gas bar at the corner of River Road and Mitch Owens beside the future loca-
tion of a Shoppers Drug Mart and several doctors’ offices, had filed an appeal because the city wanted the site plan to include the severance of some land to widen Mitch Owens and River roads on either side of the site. However, the owners argued that underneath the slices of land in question lay their fuel tanks for the gas station, which would be too expensive and difficult to move. They offered to give the land willingly in the future when they redevelop the property, but couldn’t accept the road widening request at the moment. Thompson, who sits on the Rural and Agricultural Affairs committee, said he realized the fight was “crazy” and convinced the city to give in rather than drag the issue out at the provincial tribunal. The OMB date still stands on April 15, he said, but the city
will simply state that everyone agrees. “Once the 15th is past, the rezoning is already in place so the application for the building permit can take place and the demolition will start,” Thompson explained. He said he expects the building permit will be issued by the beginning of June, and the pharmacy and dental offices should be ready for use by the end of 2011. Thompson noted that he’s particularly excited about the doctors’ offices that will be built above the drug store. “It’s a huge benefit for the area and I think the residents are buying into that,” he said. Although Thompson said residents were generally excited about the development, Manotick Village and Community Association president Brian Tansley said it’s more com-
plicated than that. “It wasn’t expected that it would continue to be anything but a commercial property. That wasn’t anticipated to be objectionable. But the traffic is pretty bad in that corridor, and I can’t see how it would have a positive affect,” Tansley said. “The best we can hope for is it will be neutral. The potential is certainly there for an increase in misery caused by traffic.” Tansley also noted that Paul’s Pharmacy is kitty-corner to the site of the new Shoppers, and another pharmacy exists in the core village on the other side of the Rideau River. “One can only speculate that adding a chain store like that might put some stress on those businesses. It remains to be seen. I hope there’s room for three pharmacies. It would be a shame to lose those businesses to a large chain,” he said.

About 50 residents gathered at the Greely Community Centre on March 30 to update the village’s community design plan, covering everything from septic concerns to the creation of a thriving village core. City staff broke the group into four categories – road network, environmental protection and greenspace, water and waste water management, and land use and village core – to talk in small groups about their concerns in each area. As groups rotated through the topics, city staff began to get a clear picture of some of the major issues in Greely, including a decided lack of bike and pedestrian paths linking various parts of the village. “We heard a lot of comments about the quality of the arterial streets and the design of them, with their soft shoulders and the lack of curbing or sidewalks. That was definitely a theme that we heard over and over and over again,” said one city staff person who was taking notes at the road network table. The same comment was repeated from the land use table and the greenspace table. “The Old Prescott highway cuts the village in half. If you had bicycle paths and sidewalks interconnecting, then you achieve a lot of the village nature without creating pseudo-main routes that people drive too fast on,” said one resident sitting at the last road network discussion of the evening. “You would behave more like a village if you could do that.” Part of the problem is a lack of a village core or main street. When Greely’s CDP was first created in 2005, the city zoned a number of properties along Bank Street and Parkway Road as “village main street” properties, which allow for either residential or commercial development. Although a
Dan Westlake, a Greely resident joins city staffers and other residents for a community discussion small post office, hair salon, community centre and library fall in this region, not much else has come to stay. “I’ve been here for 10 years and I’ve seen nothing come, in fact the cheese factory left. This is kind of disappointing,” said Martin Damus, who noted that creating better pedestrian and cycling access to the proposed downtown would make it easier to encourage businesses to invest in the town. “What would help is to have sidewalks that go to the grocery store, to the library, to the core. It is now built for driving. If it could be built for actually walking or taking a bicycle, that would really help.” Greely resident Dan Weslake was at the Land Use table with Damus, and he felt that the city isn’t doing enough to encourage businesses to set up shop in the area zoned for a main street. “There’s not a demand right now, it’s too convenient for us to go up to the city, up to Hunt Club. You’ve got to encourage people to stay local,” he said, explaining that a consignment shop on Bank Street outside the village zoning could easily have taken a spot in the village core rather than on a highway lot. However, city staffers around the table couldn’t offer any examples of incentives from the city, apart from the fact that the properties in the main street section are already zoned properly, saving businesses a lot of money and hassle compared to a site that has to be rezoned before they
can set up. The other major complaint, particularly at the road network table, was the quality of roads throughout the village, particularly the arterials, and the lack of road connectivity between various subdivisions. “Greely’s growing but the road network hasn’t kept up,” said one resident. Another added that village developments should be connected to each other by road and by pathways to create a unified village. Other issues included the size and quality of the groundwater aquifer that serves Greely with its water, and city issues such as whether or not to allow drive-through facilities in villages such as Greely. The city will compile the comments heard at the meeting and post them on the new rural review website, which has been set up while the city rehashes CDPs for 24 villages around the outskirts of Ottawa. Residents will be able to comment on the postings throughout the spring and summer, and then city staff will draft recommendations for the Agriculture and Rural Affairs committee. Staff will bring the draft recommendations back to the community for a final consultation in the fall before sending a final report to the committee for a decision. Residents can find display boards and more information about the rural review at www.ottawa.ca/ruralreview.

Kris Schulz is pictured during the Santa Claus parade in Manotick last December. She is recognized for her work with various organizations as a volunteer during Volunteer Week.
Kris Schulz has been fixture in community for 12 years DANIEL NUGENT-BOWMAN daniel.bowman@metroland.com
As a long-time member of the Manotick Lions, Kris Schulz has taken the club’s adage to heart with everything she does throughout the community. “I started out with the Lions,” she said, “and our motto is to serve everybody. So I just got more and more involved.” Equipped with her yellow jacket and flashy smile, the 12year resident has been a fixture in just about every Manotick group. Schulz is the past president of the Lions – and will resume the post again next year – is chair of the community’s Park and Pathways committee, a volunteer at the Legion and the Carleton Lodge Long Term Care Home and is on the Watson’s Mill board of directors. In anticipation of National Volunteer Week, which runs from April 10 to 16, Schulz said she’s particularly proud of her experience with the Mill. “It gives me pleasure not for being a resident of Manotick but to be able to participate in the most wonderful site possibly and to learn the fabulous history of Watson’s Mill, past, present, and future,” Schulz said. Schulz’s volunteerism in Manotick really took off in 2006, when she stepped down as secretary, manager and treasurer of the Ottawa Valley Curling Association after 10 years at the positions where she organized large
curling bonspiels. She’s never really stopped helping out since. “I do take a holiday the odd time,” she said with a laugh, noting her husband Michael is an avid golfer and curler. “This is my way of not sitting at home and being there for the community.” In addition to her own volunteering, Schulz makes an effort to encourage others to lend their time to community organizations and events. Despite a perceived lack of assistance from today’s youth and their families, Schulz says she believes people are doing what they can – and doing a great job when they’re able to pitch in. “Yes, we’d like to get more young people involved but they’ve got so much on the plate nowadays trying to raise a family and trying to maintain a household,” she said. “Things are a lot different than they used to be, there’s more out there for them. “But I don’t worry about it. Whenever we need some help with the Santa Claus parade, which I organize every year, I do get the young people to come out. I get the cadets and the scouts and they’re more than willing to help out.” And it’s because of those community members that Schulz feels helping out is worth it. “Manotick is such a pretty place and everyone gets along,” she said. “It’s the people that make me want to help them.”

Bi-weekly collection makes sense
D
espite widespread opposition from residents, the city is making the right decision to make the switch to bi-weekly garbage collection. The new plan, which city council will consider at a meeting on April 11, will see organic waste and recycling collected every week, while regular garbage collection will be scaled back to every other week. Opponents of the plan paint pictures of ever growing piles of reeking trash bags in garages and side yards across the city, arguing that city council is failing to heed the wishes of residents. But does this mean cutting back on garbage collection is misguided or does it mean the city’s campaign to educate residents about the green bin program has been less than successful? Just over half of residents consulted said they were not in favour of bi-weekly garbage pickup. But that might have more to do with what people consider to be “garbage.” As many rural residents (and current greenbin users) know, organic scraps aren’t really
waste. The smelliest part of your garbage is the stuff that shouldn’t even be in the bag – vegetable and meat waste that decomposes. And that is what the city will still be collecting every week if it adopts this new plan. A year into the green bin campaign, it has become clear many residents have decided it’s too big a hassle to separate that organic waste from their trash. That program is only handling about a quarter of its 80,000-tonne capacity. Partly because of that paltry participation rate, the city’s environment committee has decided to throw the ball back into the residents’ court. Far from being a shortsighted plan, the prospect of paring back garbage collection is a step forward for waste management in this city. With the city approaching the point where it needs to consider a new landfill site, pay the cost to ship garbage elsewhere or find an alternate solution, diverting as much trash as possible from the dump is the most cost effective decision available.

Winning the right to be left alone
T
here’s a story here predicting that digital books will eventually outsell the real kind. According to an article in Fortune magazine, the number of e-readers sold this year will be 18 million, compared with 900,000 two years ago. The people who buy those shiny, glowing things will want electronic books to read on them. And so it goes. Already, newspaper book review sections are beginning to list electronic best-sellers alongside the traditional ones.There are a number of ways to look at this. There is the sentimental way, which you have read many times already: books feel nice in your hand, smell good, don’t need batteries to read etc. But you know, people talked about quill pens the same way, and typewriters, when the personal computer started to arrive. They talked about 78 records and 45 records and 33 1/3 records and even cassette tapes. None of this stopped the next thing from coming along. Another way of looking at it is from the economic point of view, and here the jury is still out. Some of the people selling e-readers will make money. Probably, the sellers of e-books — which are not necessarily the booksellers we now

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town know — will make money. Right now, writers worry that they may not make money, because an entirely new set of royalty rules is coming into being. But perhaps it will work out. That will make environmentalists happy, or at least some of them, because not so many trees will die to make the paper that traditional books are printed on. Mind you, there’s a lot of plastic to be used up making the e-books. From your point of view and mine, perhaps the most important question about any new technology is this: Will it be annoying? And here, the ebook passes with flying colours. If there’s an e-book in the room, it won’t annoy you. If there’s an e-book sitting next to you on the bus, it won’t annoy you. So that’s good. It shows that some new technology can be unobtrusive. The best can even create more private space. The
same cannot be said of much of the old technology. I did a round trip to Toronto last week. The way down was on the train. It was quiet. No muzak, no screens. People read books, real or e-, tapped on computers, listened to iPods. Nobody bothered anybody else. That was nice. New technology allowed people to amuse themselves without bothering other people. The way back was on the bus, because there had been a train derailment. Nice bus, friendly driver, good service, quick. Except that a movie was projected on the screens overhead for our enjoyment. That would have been possible to ignore, but the sound was projected for our enjoyment as well. So those of us who wanted to amuse ourselves by reading a book or newspaper, not to mention those of who wanted to sleep, had to fight our way past the movie soundtrack. By and large, were the bus passengers grateful that there was a movie? Would they have complained if there had not been one? I don’t know. Obviously, the bus company feels a need to amuse the passengers, and it is not alone. It is difficult to enter any public space without something blaring at you. The comforting thought is that it may

Now, other things become redundant as well, such as conversation with strangers and looking out the window at the scenery, but we may have lost them long ago.

To the Editor, Due to increased loss of habitat, people are more aware of the existence of coyotes. Yet the incidence of serious conflict between coyotes and humans is minimal. It is not coyotes encroaching on human populations, it is the other way around. The aim of the coyote hunting contest is to “cull” the coyote population in an effort to minimize this problem. This problem is more one of
perception than of reality. I have lived in rural Ottawa for most of my life and have yet to have a problem with a coyote. I have seen them on rare occasions, they go about their business and I go about mine. And to the issue of livestock predation, statistics show that incidents are down. There are non-lethal methods of predator control that have been extremely effective.
Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod was quoted in an article stating that she believes the contest is legal because hunters are already targeting coyotes. Section 11 of the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act is quite clear. Hunting for gain is illegal. On one poster it declared $2500.00 in prizes. The Honourable MPP was also at a meeting held in Osgoode last year on this very subject.
The majority of people in attendance were there to voice their objection to the coyote “cull”, preferring a more humane, sustainable approach. In the 21st century we must protect biodiversity. We are all richer when the abundance of nature is respected and protected. Lynda Craig Metcalfe, Ontario

Damian McLaughlin (right), owner and manager of the Riverside South location of Broadway’s restaurant, said he and restaurant supervisor Tanya Brien expect a significant increase in business once the Strandherd-Armstrong bridge connects Riverside South east of Rideau River to Barrhaven in the west.

Bridge will boost Riverside South business
DANIEL NUGENT-BOWMAN AND EMMA JACKSON This is the third and final story in the series of articles examining the effects of the new StrandherdArmstrong bridge. This week we look at the impact the new bridge will have on businesses in the area. Barrhaven businesses may stand to benefit most from the pending Strandherd-Armstrong bridge, but that doesn’t mean the future is bleak for those in Riverside South. Damian McLaughlin, owner of Broadway’s restaurant at River and Earl Armstrong Roads, said he set up shop in Riverside South six years ago knowing the bridge was imminent, and banked on the eventual increase in business. “We started up this business in 2005 and the reason is we wanted to be connected to Barrhaven. It’s been a very slow go for us, and we’re expecting to see a lot of business coming from Barrhaven,” he said, noting that he plans to make the restaurant bigger to account for the increase in customers. “We want to expand next door because I know we can take on a lot more on the weekends, and our patio can have a lot more business in the summer.”
McLaughlin said the bridge will also bring a welcome change to Riverside South in general, which currently has few retail outlets and no box stores or entertainment facilities for the young families who make up the majority of the community. “It’s going to be good for Riverside South having the Canadian Tires, the Home Depots, movie theatres for the kids, and a bit more variety,” he said. For Barrhaven residents, he said the bridge will offer more relaxed shopping and dining options away from the busy commercial areas of Barrhaven. “It’s going to be good to come to a restaurant that isn’t so in the hustle and bustle of Strandherd and the market place up there. Barrhaven is a busy, busy, busy place and it needs a bit more space,” McLaughlin said. Tiny Hoppers manager Melanie Bedard said she already has a number of Barrhaven clients at her Riverside South location on River Road, but she hopes the promise of eased traffic through Manotick and the direct route over the bridge will encourage new clients to consider Riverside South for daycare. Despite the fact that daycare centre will soon open a location in Barrhaven, and that Bedard is moving her current location to the Spratt and Limebank roads
“We will have an additional market area to advertise to and try to bring new consumers into Barrhaven who may never have shopped here before...” Andrea Steenbakkers BIA executive director retail plaza farther away from the bridge this fall, Bedard said she’s still hoping for “a good 20 per cent increase” in business in Riverside South. Marcel Moncion, owner of Moncion’s Independent Grocer in the River Road plaza, declined to comment on whether his grocery store, the only one in Riverside South and located right beside the future bridge site, stands to make more money once the bridge is open. Although Riverside South certainly stands to have a few more visitors from across the river, Barrhaven will still be the bigger draw until Riverside South starts to build up its limited retail offerings, said Barrhaven
Business Improvement Area (BIA) executive director Andrea Steenbakkers. She noted that the process could take a long time, meaning residents east of the river will be travelling into Barrhaven more often. “It will mean a lot more traffic will come into Barrhaven,” she said. “It obviously means a lot more opportunity for our businesses. We will have an additional market area to advertise to and try to bring new consumers into Barrhaven who may never have shopped here before because it wasn’t convenient.” Steenbakkers said that residents living near the bridge will now be a two minute drive from Barrhaven’s downtown centre, where big-box stores will serve as “larger anchors” to draw people in. Once in town, she said smaller stores will benefit from the increased traffic. “The smaller businesses are going to benefit from that based on the exposure they’re getting from these people coming here, who’ve probably never been here before,” Steenbakkers said. Although Riverside South has yet to form its own BIA, Steenbakkers said the Barrhaven BIA won’t consider crossing the bridge to cover the Riverside South retail community.
“It doesn’t really make sense to join those two retail communities as one larger group. Both retail areas will have different interests,” she said, noting that the Barrhaven BIA’s priority is expanding its boundaries to include Strandherd Drive and Greenbank Road. Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre, who has pushed hard for the project since entering office, said he believes business traffic will flow both ways between the two communities. “Logically you’d see more of the Riverside South residents going over to Barrhaven to shop, but I do think you’ll see some Barrhaven residents that will go over to Riverside South.” Given Barrhaven’s shopping attractions such as Wal-Mart, Goodlife and numerous restaurant chains on Strandherd Drive, Poilievre conceded that in the immediate future more Riverside South residents will likely go to Barrhaven rather than the other way around – but that could change. “It gives Riverside South businesses on the corner of River Road and Earl Armstrong access to an enormous new market,” he said. “There will be some people in Barrhaven who will find shopping in Riverside South closer than shopping in Barrhaven.”

Having watched his team endure an injury-plagued regular season and playoff series, Peter Goulet is left to wonder what could have been. Although the Nepean Raiders head coach and general manager was impressed by the way his team competed in their seven-game opening round Central Canada Hockey League loss to the Brockville Braves, he knows a little more luck would have slotted them against an easier opponent.
The Raiders finished the regular season with a 27-2510 record, four points behind the Carleton Place Canadians and eight back of the Gloucester Rangers. “It was a very disappointing regular season,” Goulet said. “I thought we had a better team than being in the sixth spot. We had a lot of injuries and I think the guys really came together in the playoffs. “I was very proud of the boys and the way they played and finished the season. I just wish it could have been a little stronger in the regular season. I take responsibility for that.” Much like the regular season, injuries amounted for
the team in playoffs. The Raiders played without leading scorer Brent Norris and winger Greg Trichilo for the entire series. Defenceman Cameron Odam was limited to two games before sustaining a shoulder injury and winger Buddy Robinson saw only a handful of shifts each game because of a leg injury. The team had thought the injury was a sprain, but further tests since the playoffs ended determined that it was a break.With their help, Goulet said, the series outcome could have been much different.

Sports
Pair of veterans play pivotal role in playoff series Continued from page 11 While the Raiders gave the Braves all they could handle – holding a 3-2 series advantage before Game 6 at the Nepean Sportsplex – they let a lead slip away in each of the final two games. “We were right there,” Goulet said. “It’s just frustrating.” All the injuries allowed others to step up their offensive games mightily. Craig Cowie and Scott Domenico each chipped in with 11 points in seven games, putting them just one point behind Cornwall Colts’ Jacob Laliberte for the overall
lead after the first round. “Scott Domenico and Craig Cowie were our best players in that series by far,” Goulet said. “Telfer and Carriveau were real good too, but Cowie and Domenico really stepped it up for us. They were good hockey players all the way through, but they just took their game to a whole new level.” With the season end over, Goulet now has to replenish a team that will look very different by the end of August. Gone will be veteran defencemen
Odam, Grant Telfer, Zach Carriveau, plus forwards Domenico, Cole Weedmark and Felix Boutin. As well, goaltender Dan Altshuller has the option of playing for the Belleville Bulls of the Ontario Hockey League. “He can go any path he wants to, it’s just what he decides is better for him,” Goulet said. “If he picks to go to school (an American college) that’s great for us. If he picks to go to the OHL, all I can do is wish him all the best because he’s capable of playing there.”
Aside from retooling his roster, Goulet said he’s already thinking about next season and preparing his team for what he hopes will be a championship run. “I think we did a lot of good things this year with the team,” he said. “We’re excited about next year. Hopefully we can compete a little better in the regular season.” Next up for the Raiders is there evaluation camp from June 17 to 19. It will be held at the Walter Baker Sports Centre because the Nepean Sportsplex will be under renovations.

The Ottawa Fat Cats have turned to Manotick to shore up their starting rotation for the upcoming season. The Intercounty Baseball League (IBL) team has signed local left-hander Tyler Robinson, 26, in an attempt to gain more depth on the mound. The six-foot, 185-pound hurler last pitched regularly for Brandeis University – a Div. 3 school in Boston – from 2005 to 2008, where he graduated with degrees in biology and health sciences. Fat Cats general manager Duncan MacDonald said he tries to keep an eye on the all the local players who come back to the area after finishing their college careers. “I think he’s going to compete for one of our five starting spots,” MacDonald said. “He’s very athletic, he throws strikes and he’s sneaky fast. “He’s very comfortable with his approach on the hitter.” Ottawa was the worst pitching team in the IBL last year, allowing an average of 6.21 runs per game. They also led the league in walks, a stat Robinson should help improve. “We’re looking for him to throw strikes and certainly challenge the hitters and go right at them,” MacDonald said. “By throwing strikes and having someone really challenging the hitters, I think our fielders will really appreciate that. He’ll have a lot of quick innings.” Robinson stuck out 201 hitters in 214 innings at Brandeis. He also holds the school record for strikeouts in a game
with 13. After only pitching sparingly with the Oshawa Royals, a senior-league team, and in tournaments over the last couple seasons, Robinson said he’s itching to get back in the swing of things. “I just realized I missed the competitive atmosphere,” he said. “I wanted to try it out again.” On top of pounding the strike zone, Robinson said he relies on deception in his delivery to get batters out. He said his fastball tops out at 88 or 89 miles per hour. “I just try to focus on throwing strikes and getting it over the plate and try not to flatten out too much,” the former Pinecrest Little Leaguer said. “The less the ball moves straight, the more likely they are to miss it.” After limited wintertime training, Robinson said he recently started preparing for the coming season by starting to run more, doing shoulder and back exercises and throwing pitches at an indoor facility at Carleton University. Coming into the season, Robinson has the same expectations as his general manager. “I hope to crack the starting rotation and hopefully get us a couple more wins and into the playoffs,” he said. “Once you get into the playoffs it’s all fair game from there.” After finishing at the bottom of standings in the nine-team IBL last season at 11-25, the Fat Cats begin their second campaign with their home opener scheduled against the Kitchener Panthers on May 21 at 7 p.m. 453661

Value by Design - New Homes Offer What Resale Homes Cannot! Written by Greater Ottawa Home Builders Association From layout to landscaping, new homes are designed for the way we live today and the things that are important to us. That means style, convenience, flexibility and conservation. New homes offer layouts that are attractive and practical to live in. Open-concept designs, vaulted ceilings and skylights create spaciousness and brightness, while features such as half walls make it easier to furnish and keep the home tidy. Today’s new homes are also rich in design details that add character and style, such as highquality wooden trim and moulding, rounded drywall corners, archways and built-in shelves. Increasingly, buyers are opting for home offices, entertainment rooms and even exercise rooms. Typically, new homes are built with flexibility, adaptability and the long term in mind. Today’s extra bedroom or den can easily become tomorrow’s home office, and a ready-tofinish basement may be transformed into separate living
quarters for grown children or aging relatives. Convenience is designed right into every new home. Laundry facilities are located close to living and sleeping areas. Mudrooms keep extra outerwear out of sight and prevent dampness and dirt from being trekked into the house. Storage space, often at a premium in older homes, is plentiful and easily accessible. Kitchens feature effective work spaces and easy-to-reach cupboards and pull-out shelves, and today s modern finishing materials mean less time spent on cleaning and maintaining your home. More and more, environmental considerations are incorporated at the very outset at the planning and design stage. From energy-efficient construction to waterconserving fixtures and recycling and composting stations, new homes are designed to conserve resources both during construction and later. And often home owners will end up saving money on utility bills for years to come. The marketplace is also seeing the emergence of many
exciting, innovative products that combine function, looks and price with a sensitivity to the environment. Like pavers for patios and walkways made from recycled tires, ceramic tiles from recycled glass and carpeting from recycled soft drink containers, to mention a few. The emphasis on design goes beyond each individual home. Today s builders take great pride in building communities where people feel at home and part of the neighbourhood. They preserve the natural landscape of new developments and build walkways, bike-paths, playgrounds and community gathering spots. And even the simplest houses have architectural features that contribute to an integrated and visually pleasing streetscape. The builders of today’s new homes and communities are building for you and your lifestyle! To find out more, visit the professional builders in your area, tour their model homes, talk to sales staff, and take a walk through the developments. Discover the real value of buying new!

READY, SET, GO! New Barrhaven Transitway Opening April 17 •
New stations at Longfields and Marketplace
Downtown Faster
•
24/7 rapid transit service with frequent service to downtown
•
New spring schedules start Sunday, April 17
Commuter express service to downtown will speed up by making fewer stops in the morning. Once Express routes have served Fallowfield Station, they’ll travel more quickly downtown by bypassing stops along Woodroffe north of Fallowfield and from Baseline Station to Westboro. Customers can, however, get dropped off at any of the stations along the way. Express routes will continue to make all stops in the afternoon.
The new Southwest Transitway extension is paving the way for improved transit service in Barrhaven that will be faster and more convenient with 3 km of buses-only roadway between Fallowfield and Barrhaven Centre. Service has been revised to ensure it meets the needs of residents, takes advantage of the new Transitway, and offers many benefits to the community:
New Spring Service Effective Sunday, April 17 New timetables are available for all OC Transpo peak period and express routes, as well as these Barrhaven routes that have schedule changes: 70, 71, 73, 76, 77, 94, 95, 170, 171, 173, 175, 176, 177, 181, 186 and 188. Note that Route 195 will be cancelled and replaced by Route 94. Visit octranspo.com or call 613-741-4390 for complete service change details.
