Commission OKs sweeping changes LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

With a few last-minute tweaks, Ottawa’s transit commission unanimously approved sweeping changes that will rewrite the city’s transit map. The changes won’t take effect until Sept. 4, but after Labour Day weekend, transit users might be scrambling to find their way around the city on a completely reworked network of buses.

Outstanding Agents. Outstanding Results.

They are aimed at saving $19.5 million by next year by eliminating duplication and creating a more straightforward system that is easier to understand, but that also means longer walks, more transfers and less frequent service for some riders. However, 95 per cent of passenger trips won’t change drastically and could even improve, according to OC Transpo staff. See ‘Transit’, page 3

Within five years, Brian O’Higgins has gone from being a long-distance-running watcher to a marathon champion. The Nepean resident won his 55-59 age category at the Boston Marathon on April 18 with a time of 2:49:17, just edging his goal of two hours 50 minutes. The result shaved four minutes off his Boston time from a year ago. “I was going for that time,” O’Higgins said. “I really wanted to just get under 2:50 – that was my objective. I was totally shocked to win the age group.” Competing in this third Boston Marathon, O’Higgins was expecting to finish in the top six of his category but the other challengers pushed themselves too hard and faltered. Running with a tailwind in sunny, cool temperatures, O’Higgins suspects the other challengers abandoned their race plan and got into trouble – something he struggled with too. “I went faster than I was planning on, but I just went for it,” he said. That’s the attitude that got O’Higgins his running start. The 55-year-old said he never really considered pounding the pavement until he began driving his wife, Maureen, and daughters, Shannon, Caitlin, and Erin to their five- and 10-kilometre races. And once he eased into semi-retirement from his job the Kanata high-tech start-up Third Brigade – a company he founded – O’Higgins found more time to run. An avid skier and windsurfer – sports, he said helped him develop his stamina – O’Higgins hit the ground running by taking part in the 2006 Ottawa Race Weekend. See ‘Local’, page 3

From ‘Commission’, page 1 A number of last-minute tweaks were made to some local routes in the plan approved by the transit commission on April 20. There are still some additional changes that could be made as OC Transpo staff and city councillors tweak the routes to address riders’ concerns. OC Transpo is still looking at how to offer midday trips in the area of Barrhaven south of the Jock River, including whether OC Transpo should keep a small number of midday trips on Route 175. More than 30 people lined up to speak at the six-hour transit commission meeting in a last-ditch effort to tell the commission – including four new public members for the first time – how the changes would impact them. Valerie Collicott of the City For All Women initiative said streamlining the express bus and Transitway systems is one thing, but reducing access can put women in danger. “I am puzzled and dismayed that the changes are being made on the backs of women, seniors and people with disabilities,” Collicott said.

Barbara Caroll, the executive director of the Debora Dynes Family House, echoed Collicott’s comments about the transit cuts’ impact on marginalized transit users. She said 180 of the social housing complex’s 800 residents signed a petition aimed at reversing the cancellation of Route 3. Many of the residents are immigrants, refugees and single parents from traumatic situations, and Route 3 has been their lifeline to get them to language classes and other services. The Debora Dynes Family House is located on Debra Avenue, north of Meadowlands and halfway between Prince of Wales Drive and Fisher Avenue. “We are the black hole, it would seem, in the city,” Caroll said. “Between Hog’s Back and Fisher there is almost no service.” At its next meeting on May 18, the transit commission will find out when it will be able to see a draft of the public education plan to inform riders of the changes. Finalized schedules for the revised route system should be available by the end of the summer before changes take effect.

Local man hits stride in Boston Marathon From ‘Running’, page 1 He clocked a time of 22:22. From there, he rapidly began running longer distances, moving to the 10-kilometre and then half marathon distances within months. He completed his first full marathon after only running competitively for a year and then finished the 2008 Ottawa Race Weekend in 3:09:18. “I got more competitive when I started doing less work,” he said. “Marathon training takes a lot of time. It’s easier for me to work it in than it is for a lot of other people.” O’Higgins trains with a group at K2J FiTness in Barrhaven, doing so under almost any circumstance. “Occasionally I’m on a treadmill when it’s really inclement conditions,” he said. “But that’s rare. It’s almost always outside. Treadmills are very boring.” When he’s running casually, O’Higgins said he jogs three or four times weekly for a total of 50 kilometres. But when he’s preparing for a marathon – which he does 12 weeks prior to a race – O’Higgins ups his regimen to five days a week and 90 to 100 kilometres. O’Higgins said he competes in two marathons annually, adding a fall race like Philadelphia or New York City to his Boston run. He said he plans to run in the Marine Corp Marathon in Washington on Oct. 30. “It’s fun to travel too,” O’Higgins said. “To travel to go to a big destination race, the whole experience is great. It’s like a mini-vacation.” O’Higgins added that he likes the buzz that the 42.2-kilometre Boston run creates around the city. Boston Marathon is the world’s oldest annual

marathon. It began in 1897, one year after the first Olympic run in Athens, Greece. Next up for O’Higgins is the Ottawa Race Weekend Half Marathon on May 29. While he was able to excel as a runner very quicker, he knows it’s not as easy for others to. He is quick to warn new runners to ease into the sport like he did five years ago. “I just worked up sensibly,” he said. “You do find people who the first race they ever ran was a marathon, but that’s a little unusual and I don’t recommend it. Start by running fives, 10s, halves. You need to be properly trained to do a marathon and put in the time. “The marathon is a different animal. It’s not just twice as hard as a half. You can’t fool around. You’ve got to respect it.”

Candidates address immigration, women’s issues DANIEL NUGENT-BOWMAN daniel.bowman@metroland.com

Local federal candidates believe many new Canadians have gotten the short end of the straw from the government and want that to change. Ottawa-West Nepean candidates NDP Marlene Rivier and Liberal Anita Vandenbeld spoke about the issues facing potential immigrants along side NepeanCarleton Liberal Ryan Keon during the Egyptian Canadian Cultural Association of Ottawa’s open forum at the Walter

Baker Sports Centre on April 20. Rivier, a long-time community healthcare activist, said the government needs to do a better job giving immigrants a chance to succeed if or when they settle in Canada. She cited a $53 million cut in immigration-related programs and a backlog of 173,000 people waiting to get into the country as problems with the previous government’s plan. “I think that immigration is essential to Canada’s economic prosperity,” she said. “What we have been seeing with this government is a real attack on im-

migration.” If elected on May 2, Rivier vowed she, and the rest of the NDP, would cut down the time in takes for people to reunite with their families if immigrating separately and begin recognizing foreign education and employment credentials. “It just doesn’t make any sense to accept someone as an immigrant and not permit them to work in their focus avenue,” she said. “I think we have a job to do to bring Canada back to a better balance in terms of its approach in foreign policy.” Vandenbeld said she’s heard complaints from people around the world about Canada while participating in various international-relations events in Kosovo and Bosnia. In addition to assisting new immigrants, Vandenbeld said more emphasis has to be put on women’s issues. “We are talking about a return to an open, transparent, accountable democracy where everyone is included,” she said. “The best asset for any democratic government is the knowledge, the creativity and the experience of the population. “If we’re not having that debate in parliament, then we’re not having it.” Vandenbeld added that a Liberal government would allow people to take up to six months off during a year through employment insurance to tend to ill family members. “Families who are taking this want to care for their loved ones, but you

LIBERAL CANDIDATE ANITA VANDENBELD shouldn’t have to bear the burden,” she said. Keon, a first-time candidate, said he feels like there has significant policy discussion in this election campaign – something that hasn’t happened in the past decade, he said. “I think that all our governments have gotten into a bad habit of refusing to talk to people about problems that don’t have sound-byte-sized answers,” Keon said. He added that the three principle problems facing Canada are its national debt, potentially unaffordable health-care system, and a foreign policy “incapable of keeping up with the world.” Representing the Green party was Ottawa-Orleans candidate Paul Maillet, while Ottawa-Vanier Conservative candidate Rem Westland was also present.

Social housing gets a $14 million boost City plan outlines initiative to reduce homelessness LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

Every night, emergency shelters provide homes for 1,225 Ottawa residents. Despite the name, some of those people have spent almost a decade living at shelters that are meant to provide emergency housing. At the Ottawa Mission, an average stay is two and a half years, but some people have been there for up to nine years. “We wouldn’t tolerate letting people live in (hospital) emergency rooms for 60 days or more… why do we do this with shelters?” asked Steve Pomeroy, an Ottawabased consultant who specializes in affordable housing policy and research. The City of Ottawa says it is responding to the concerns of people such as Pomeroy by bolstering its investment in a plan to reduce poverty by investing in affordable housing solutions. The new $14 million investment was part of Mayor Jim Watson’s election platform and on Thursday, April 20, the city revealed how it plans to spend that money. And for once, the strategy was met with applause from the 25-or-so housing advocates in the audience at the community and protective services committee. Dan Sabourin, vice chair of the Alliance to End Homelessness Ottawa, was one of a handful of people who sang the plan’ praises. “This plan is consistent with achieving (our) goals,” he said. “It’s comprehensive and holistic in its approach.”

A team of volunteers painted a social housing complex on Wiggins Private on March 26. A four-year, $16-million investment will allow the city to help build or acquire new housing that will help remove names from the centralized waiting list for social housing. Diane Morrison, executive director of the Ottawa Mission, said she and other shelter operators are “quite encouraged” by the plan. Morrison said she hopes it will be especially beneficial for the 54 people with chronic mental or physical illness who frequent the Mission.

The city’s plan includes $750,000 per year for the next four years for transitional emergency housing for about 30 to 50 homeless people who have complex needs such as cognitive impairments. There will also be a $3 million capital investment this year. The supports are aimed at finding long-term housing solutions for those individuals and therefore reducing the demand on shelters and other emergency services. A four-year, $16-million investment will allow the city to help build or acquire new housing that will help remove names from the centralized waiting list for social housing. The city will also put $2 million into critical repairs to Ottawa’s social housing units. Other aspects of the plan include rent supplements for up to 450 households and housing allowances for up to 200 households ($4 million annually). The plan also includes funds for emergency housing support to allow people to stay in their own homes during a financial crisis (about 200 household per year), employment programs for youth living in social housing and $255,000 towards the Cornerstone Supportive Housing project for women. In 2007, 18.4 per cent of Ottawa residents lived in poverty. Much of that can be attributed to housing costs: 10 per cent of renters in the city spend more than half of their income on rent alone. Funding for the projects comes from the extra $25 million in money the city is getting back from the province as it “uploads” some of the costs for some provincial programs the city administers.

Buying bus passes at a kiosk a possibility LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney wants OC Transpo riders to be able to buy passes at kiosks at major transit hubs. Concerned with the monthly long lines at OC Transpo retail outlets like the one at the Rideau Centre, the Beacon Hill-Cyrville councillor asked Ottawa’s information technology staff to look into the possibility of setting up a few self-serve kiosks. “You have a five-day period every month when there

is a line-up out the door,” Tierney said. Since Tierney estimates that 95 per cent of those people are simply purchasing a monthly pass, he said it would speed up the process if they could use a self-serve kiosk instead. Tierney said the kiosks aren’t likely to increase revenue for the city because the people who would be using them would still purchase passes anyway. Passes are already available for purchase at many locations besides OC Transpo outlets, including a great number of grocery and convenience stores. But Tierney said the kiosks are still a good proposal

because: “I think we have to offer a good service to our residents.” During a meeting on April 18, the information technology subcommittee, which Tierney heads, agreed with the idea of investigating the possibility of installing kiosks. If city staff says the idea has potential, the information technology subcommittee could approve the kiosks.Tierney suggested a handful of the machines could be placed at major transit hubs, possibly at Rideau, Hurdman, St. Laurent, Bayshore and a south-end station.

City to look at electronic bills LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

The City of Ottawa is looking to introduce online billing. The information technology subcommittee asked city staff to investigate whether it would be possible to allow residents to access their tax and water bills online. “The more things we can get online, the better,” said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, who sits on

the IT subcommittee. Currently, people must pay $32 if they want another copy of their water or tax bill.The cost of the staff time needed to create a second bill, whether paper or electronic, is the same. The only difference is about $0.60 in paper, printing and postage costs per bill. However, the report also says that establishing an ebilling system for the city would require “a significant amount of effort” from the IT services department. An estimate of the costs to do that was not included,

but that will be part of the report that will now be completed based on the direction of the IT subcommittee. But a city report notes that people can already access their bill for free online through Canada Post’s epost system. The city introduced a fee to produce duplicate bills last year. Before the fee, there were 50,000 requests for a second copy. That dropped to only 5,000 after the fee was introduced.

Virtual servers could cut cost, pollution LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@metroland.com

Creating more efficient computer systems could reduce the City’s of Ottawa’s greenhouse gas emissions by the same amount as taking 228 cars off the road. The city’s computer systems are straining under the weight of aging hardware and increasing maintenance needs. It would cost $5 million to bring the city’s computer systems up to the current industry standard, not to mention the additional cost of keeping them there.

One way the city is hoping to tackle the cost – and environmental impact – of its computer systems is to create “virtual servers”. Right now, the city has 550 servers in two server “farms.” These servers are the nerve centres for all the city’s computing services, including hosting its website, email and other applications. The city’s information technology department says 260 of those servers could be replaced with 15 “virtual” servers by 2013. When the additional electricity needed to cool the

servers is considered, that move would save 2.7 million pounds of carbon emissions. That also means the hydro bills would shrink. Using virtual servers will be enough to keep up with the current standards the city’s computers are kept to, said Guy Michaud, the city’s director of IT services. “It will be fast enough,” Michaud said. “It’s a bit premature to say if we will have better performance … We won’t have worse performance. The $1-million project kicked off in 2010 and 52 physical servers (20 per cent of the city’s servers) should be virtualized by the end of this year.

Lakeside Players celebrate 21 years STAFF Lakeside Players are celebrating their 21st anniversary as a grassroots, community theatre performers with Opening Night, written by one of the best playwrights in Canadian comedy theatre, Norm Foster. Local actors are sure to have patrons doubled over in laughter. The antics begin as Jack and Ruth Tisdale celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary with an evening of theatre. It’s a dream come true for Ruth and an imposition for Jack, who would rather be home watching the World Series. However, after the events both on and off the stage that frightful night, their lives are irreparably altered. This play is performed at the Ron Kolbus Centre (Carling and Pinecrest) from April 28-May 1. On Saturday, guests can come for dinner and a show, catered by the famous Grenfell Catering. They can make it a special evening for themselves and friends while not breaking the bank account. One of the actors is Nepean resident Roy Abrham who was born and educated in England, He joined a youth theatre group in his early teens. The appeal of acting was that it provided an opportunity, if only brief, to become people he could only dream of being in real life. His first major role was Justice Wargrave in Agatha Christie’s, And Then There Were None.

In his 20s, Abraham emigrated to Montreal, where he joined The Saint Bruno Players and remained an active member for 25 years. His roles included Buttons (Cinderella), Widow Twanky (Aladdin), Toad (The Wind in the Willows), Henry II (The Lion in Winter) and Scrooge (A Christmas Carol). His directing included “Absurd Person Singular”, “The Odd Couple - Female Version”, “Ravenscroft” and “Departures and Arrivals”. Since coming to Ottawa , Roy has appeared in “California Suite” and “Imagining The Bronte’s”. This is his first time on stage with The Lakeside Players. Ron Miller is another actor from the area. This rookie performer is an eager one and resides in Barrhaven. In real life, he has been teaching mechanical engineering at Carleton University since 2001. As such, his acting credentials include over 800 performances of classic hits like “Fluid Mechanics I” and “Introduction to Engineering Materials”. His favourite actors are his kids Persephone and Max, and he is regularly directed by his wife, Granda. Opening Night opens on April 28 at 7:30 p.m. and runs through May 1. Tickets start at $12 and can be purchased online at www.lakesideplayers.com. The Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre is located at 102 Greenview Drive in Britannia Park.

Better cancer care, closer to home, when you need it

Nicolas Ruszkowski Nicolas Ruszkowski VP, Communications Ottawa Hospital Paula Doering - Senior Vice President, Clinical Programs, and Regional Vice-President, Cancer Care Ontario

I haven’t been a “hospital insider” long. When I joined the hospital in 2008, my health care learning curve was steep, and I was lucky to beneﬁt from the help of many leaders. Among those I relied on most is Paula Doering, our Senior Vice President, Clinical Programs, and Regional Vice-President, Cancer Care Ontario. Paula is leading the transformation of our Cancer Program. Today, she’s your columnist, telling you what you need to know about the project. We’re enhancing the quality of cancer services in all parts of our region by adopting a new way to provide cancer care to patients who have completed their active treatment. Until now, patients were followed for many years by their oncologist(s) – either at The Ottawa Hospital or in one of our regional cancer clinics. Today, in keeping with best practices in other international and provincial cancer programs, patients will be referred back to their family doctors, when appropriate. We’ll provide patients and their family doctor with recommendations for their

ongoing monitoring and care. If at any time patients have questions or concerns about symptoms or their plan of care, they’ll be rapidly assessed by their oncologist at our cancer centre. Family physicians, too, will have the chance to consult oncologists when necessary. Some patients don’t have family doctors. We’ll now ﬂag patients who are admitted to our program without a family doctor, and work to link them to a family doctor. What does this mean for patients or their families? The new strategy ensures that follow-up is provided through the family doctor who knows them best, while newly diagnosed patients beneﬁt from faster access to oncologists, at the time of diagnosis and during active treatment. Our oncologists will still be front and centre in the follow-up care patients receive. We are developing tools to actively support patients and family doctors. This includes providing survivorship care plans that summarize the cancer care received and document the plan for follow-up care. It means strengthening partnerships and links with the community resources best positioned to meet the diverse needs of cancer survivors. Finally, it means improved access to quality cancer care across our region. Not only will we continue providing world class care in our cancer centres and clinics. We will also expand the use of telemedicine. No matter where they reside, patients will have access to the same high standard of care thanks to easy remote access to The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Program. We’re listening to our patients, and working towards better care, closer to home, when they need it. 464439

OPINION

Barrhaven Ottawa South This Week -APRIL 28 2011

Vote: a right and responsibility

he saying goes, you get the government you deserve. But not always. In our first-past-the-post election process, government leaders are chosen with surprisingly low voter support. And as voter turnout tumbles, people who truly care fall victim to the sad sector of citizens who don’t vote because they’ve given up hope and allow Canada’s future to be directed by a the fractured few. As tough as it may be to muster enthusiasm for this upcoming federal election, we must, if only out of respect for a democracy Canadians say they care about so much that they are willing to spend billions and sacrifice lives to fight battles for democracy in far-away lands. On the world stage, Canada is a very young country, and the battles fought for the right to vote are not so very old. At the time of Confederation in 1867, only a small minority of the population could vote. Only males over the age of 21 who met certain property qualifications were eligible to vote and run as federal candidates. Women, registered Indians and members of certain religious denominations were

excluded. And with provincial legislation governing federal politics, some groups, such as immigrants from Japan, China and India, were not allowed to vote in some provinces. In 1885 a complex property-based system applied differently from town to town and province to province, but some Aboriginal people gained the right to vote depending upon where they lived. During World War I the vote was given to all British subjects, male and female, who were active or retired members of the armed forces, including Aboriginals and people under the age of 21. In the election of Dec. 1917, some 2,000 military nurses became the first Canadian women granted to right to vote in a federal election. One year later, the vote was extended to all Canadian women 21 and over who were native-born and satisfied any relevant property qualifications. Today, with the right to vote firmly secured, far too many people simply give it a pass. Don’t be one of them. Take, or make, the time to vote next Monday, May 2. If you stand for nothing, then you’ll surely fall for anything.

COLUMN

A nation in a frenzy, except for most of it

n the space of three days we have an election and a royal wedding. Could it get any better than this? And was that a sarcastic question? Not really. There are people for whom a royal wedding is the biggest thing going. I have relatives who, back in 1981, listened to the Charles-Diana wedding on the radio. That’s serious. And there are people for whom a federal election is Christmas, Valentine’s Day and the opening of the duck hunting season all rolled into one. I may be one of those people, except for the duck hunting. Elections are exciting, full of surprises, with good things happening to people you like and bad things happening to people you don’t. And, unfortunately, vice versa. Plus, elections are good for you. Voting makes you a useful citizen, it’s easy to do and you feel virtuous afterwards. You may not be quite as useful to your country watching a royal wedding on TV, although you probably aren’t doing it any harm. The intriguing question is how many of you there really are. Because when you think of it this way, it’s not really all that relevant to us: two

THIS WEEK

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town young people who don’t spend much of any time here and won’t have any influence over us even if William becomes king some day. By the way, Elton John is on the record as hoping that William will become king. It was in one of those magazines. In fact, there is no royal wedding fact too insignificant to make it into the media. Details of the guest list have been breathlessly revealed as if they were the latest revelations from Wikileaks. The CBC spent some of our valuable taxpayer money the other day looking up people called Middleton and asking them what they thought about that. Of course, the CBC also spent some of our money finding non-political people who were called Jack Layton or Elizabeth May, so there’s a journalistic consistency there.

And, as anyone could have predicted, there have been literally hundreds of stories about how Britain is in a state of anticipatory frenzy and how Canada is too. Lacking hard evidence one way or the other, you wonder whether this is a case of rerunning an old story well past its due date. I may travel in the wrong circles, but the only time I see anyone frenzied over the royal wedding is when I turn on the television hoping to find a CBC item about someone who has the same name as Sir Wilfrid Laurier. There are, to be sure, people who are frenzied about just about anything but the fact that one of them shows up on TV doesn’t say anything about the rest of us. It’s just a reliable old formula story, as stories about royalty always are. You interview the girl who gave the flower to the Queen. What did she say to you? She said “Thank you.” You interview the senior citizen who stood in line for three hours and wore her best hat. How thrilled were you? Did she wave? You don’t interview the people who ignored the whole thing, the bulk of the population, because indifference doesn’t make good television.

Which brings us back to the election, where, on the contrary, indifference does seem to make good television. You know this from the number of potential non-voters who are interviewed and tell the camera that the parties are not saying anything to them so they’re staying home on May 2. You want to say to them: “Suck it up, kid, and make the effort.” None of us are totally in love with a leader or a party either, but we go out and vote for one anyway, because it might make a difference. It fact, you could argue that it might make even more of a difference than someone getting married in England.

Feedback will be collaborated and unveiled in the fall daniel.bowman@metroland.com

In an attempt to reach consensus on important local issues, nearly 100 people packed the upper floor of the Manotick Arena on April 19 to have their voices heard. Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt said the event was one of 14 across the rural areas in south Ottawa for people to give their feedback about land use and the village’s core, green space network and environmental management, water and wastewater utilities, and village streets and transportation issues. All the feedback will be col-

laborated over the summer before being present at a village meeting in the fall. A report of the recommendations will then be presented to the city’s agriculture and rural affairs committee before the start of 2012. “The village needs to be one,” Moffatt said. “That’s been an issue in the past and I’ve heard it. There are different groups here and we need to be one and stand together as a village… Otherwise people make decisions for us.” Residents packed the eight tables to discuss each of the issues for 15 minutes at a time. While Moffatt figures he would get the most feedback about traffic and transportation

Results are in

More than 300 people weigh in on survey STAFF The results are in – and walking is at the top of the list of favourite activities enjoyed by residents of Manotick. More than 300 residents completed the recent survey by the Manotick Culture, Parks and Recreation Association. They were asked what activities they and their families participate in, what they liked about programs and facilities in Manotick, and what new projects or improvements they would like to see to parks, pathways, and recreation/cultural programs. Dog walking, cycling and skating were the other top choices, and the parks and pathways continue to be a popular spot to do these activities. The top facility in Manotick is the mill with 79 per cent of the respondents giving it a thumbsup. The public library was listed as either excellent or very good, although some people suggested expanded hours and programming. New program ideals included outdoor movie nights in the summer or community social events, youth programs and canoe or kayak lessons. Parks and Pathways continue to be popular • 72 per cent use Manotick parks at least once a week, and 56 per cent use pathways at least once a week. People most enjoy their proximity, location, and link to neighbourhoods. • The new park/pathway initiatives rated either important or very important included tree planting (61 per cent), sidewalk between the two elementary

schools on Long Island Road (63 per cent), and pathway to Beryl Gaffney Park (44 per cent). • There were many suggestions such as better winter clearance of pathways, better signage, better lighting, more garbage cans and seating in the parks. • Many people suggested a ‘splash pad’ in one of Manotick’s parks MANY EXISTING FACILITIES GET A THUMBS UP • 79 per cent rated Watson’s Mill as very good or excellent • 70 per cent rated the Manotick Public Library either very good or excellent, although some people suggested expanded hours and programming • 53 per cent rated the Long Island Aquatic Club as very good or excellent, though many people suggested a reduced fee for day users • 49 per cent rated the other Mill Quarter buildings as very good or excellent, with numerous suggestions including paint for Dickinson House, washrooms, and a landscape design. • Repairing the Centennial Park Outdoor Rink was the highest rated facilities project initiative. Summer outdoor movie nights and other community social events topped the list (66 per cent interested or very interested), Youth Programs (60 per cent), and Canoe/Kayak Lessons (56 per cent). Roy won the draw for a $100 gift certificate to a Manotick restaurant, and Meghan Dutton won the GCTC theatre tickets. Visit www.mcpra.ca has more.

issues, the said the most important thing was the discussion – something he thought has been lacking since 2001. “I think the biggest thing people had with the amalgamation was they felt that they were losing a voice,” he said. “I think, in some instances, there’s an amount of truth to that.” “It’s been hard because there are bad tastes in people’s mouths. But we need to do it for the good of the village. We need to stand together and be stronger. We have to be one community.” Moffatt felt that having meetings in each community – and speaking to its associations – was an improvement over past

practices. In the past, former councillor Glenn Brooks held a monthly Ward 21 council where he invited member from all the communities to come together to assist with discussions through a borough system. “Do I need to get them together once a month to talk to about each other’s issues?” he said. “Probably not, because the group in Munster doesn’t necessarily care about what’s going on in Kars. I need to know – they don’t need to know – and I don’t even think they want to know.” Moffatt added that he thought the village boundary was another major concern for Manotick. With phase one of a five-part

Minto development beginning in the spring, which will add 210 homes in the village and 1,400 homes total within the next decade or more, the boundary will eventually have to grow. “The village changed and it changed a lot and it continues to change,” he said. “But that hasn’t been a bad thing. The change over the past 50 years has not hurt the village. It’s made the village what it is today. The goal is to continue that change and be a part of it so that you can preserve what’s here and make it better.” To submit comments or find out more information, visit www.ottawa.ca/ruralreview and click on the Manotick tab.

home & garden

Create the perfect summer escape – at home (NC)—When it comes to spending time outside, make the most of the space you have. Whether you have a small yard, simple patio, elaborate deck or sprawling backyard and garden, visit a one–stop shop such as Lowe’s (lowes.ca) where you’ll find everything you need to get started and create your dream outdoor escape. Keep the following in mind when compiling that important outdoor shopping list:

multifunctional furniture. Look for coffee tables that double as beverage coolers or deck boxes that keep clutter at bay and act as a convenient place to store outdoor must–haves.

Invest in lighting. Make the warm, spring evenings last even longer with outdoor lighting. Look for lights with dimmers for a muted effect. Solar lighting is another great option – they require no wires and are easy to install.

Include flowers. Container gardens are a good way to grow fresh, organic herbs and vegetables in a limited space. Planters can be coordinated with patio furnishings and go a long way in creating a vibrant look without the commitment typically involved with keeping up a garden.

Add privacy. Create a secluded feeling by adding beautiful outdoor fabric panels, movable screens, or solid wood fencing. Choose durable goods. All–weather patio furnishings are essential for outdoor living. They hold up to the elements, but still look good. Look for sets that feature hand brushed finishes, rust–free frames and UV–protected fabric. Add comfort. Decorate your outdoor space to make it as comfortable as your indoor spaces. Look for colorful outdoor rugs and durable all–weather fabrics.

Show off. Highlight your yard’s best features. If you have a beautiful garden or great views, arrange seating so you can enjoy the landscape.

Personalize. Today’s modern furnishings allow you to create the look and feel of the outdoor space you desire. If you crave peaceful afternoons reading and relaxing, invest in loungers, hammocks and gliders for a serene backyard oasis. If you have a love for entertaining, glam your space up with gazebo chandeliers and formal dining sets such as the Dellinger, available at Lowe’s. With everything available from grills to outdoor kitchens, bistro tables and chairs to formal dining and conversation sets, anything goes! www.newscanada.com

For 13 years now, CPI Interiors has helped transform our homes and the homes of those in our community into the vibrant and stylish dream spaces that we’ve always wanted. Offering services far beyond that of your average interior designer and decorator is no doubt a key ingredient to their recipe for success but when you ask Catherine Pulcine, President and Senior Designer, why CPI Interiors has ﬂourished her answer is twofold. First and foremost, it is because of the support of the wonderful people of this community without which the CPI Interiors we know and rely on wouldn’t be here today. Catherine and all of the staff would like to take this time to thank all of their clients for placing their trust in this unique company. The second reason is the CPI team itself. CPI Interiors have brought together an amazing team of superb designers to form a creative collective that you’d be hard pressed to match anywhere. With a special team like that working with unique suppliers, it’s no wonder that CPI Interiors’ results Before

Create a ‘garden of eatin’ (NC)—With the cost of food on the rise, there’s no better time to start growing your own organic herbs, fruits and vegetables. The best part about incorporating edible items into the garden (aside from the taste and health benefits) is that you don’t need to be an avid gardener or have a large garden space to get started. Herbs and vegetables can easily be grown right in your backyard garden or in containers on your patio or balcony. Certain items such as tomatoes come in a variety of vibrant colours and when mixed in with traditional flowers and plants, make for breathtaking displays.

• Oregano

• Thyme

• Cherry tomatoes

• Peppers

• Sage

• Seed variety packs

• Peppermint

• Fruit bushes

are what everyone wants for their living space. No matter whether it’s a brief consultation or a major renovation, the aim is to ensure that your journey to your new environment is as pleasant as the completed project. Basic plans and accommodating contractors can and will create whatever you have in mind but without the skilled eye and experience of a designer in the mix, crucial errors can be made that will leave you with a space that is not nearly as efﬁcient or esthetically pleasing as you’d dreamt it would be. From as little as a few adjustments to a complete re creation a designer can bring your ideas for your project to a level even more wonderful and functional than you thought possible. To speak with a member of the CPI Interiors team about transforming your home or for a particular project you have in mind, please call 613-599-5564, or toll free at 1-866-446-4415.

potentially costly soil amendments to maintain healthy soil. When making compost, homeowners can use a host of ingredients they likely already have lying around the house. Dead houseplants, for instance, can be effective compostingredients as long as the plants were not thorny or riddled with disease. Homeowners with pet rabbits, or gerbils, or hamsters can even add these animalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; manure to their compost. When doing so, include the wood or paper bedding from the animalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crate. Another potentially valuable compost ingredient is vegetable scraps, such as carrot peelings, or even eggshells. When adding these items, be sure to bury them in the compost pile so they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attract animals.

Compost can improve soil structure and texture and improve the soilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capacity to hold water. Eco-conscious green-thumbers love compost because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-natural, while cost-conscious homeowners like compost because they can improve their lawn and garden without spending a dime. Adding compost improves soil fertility and can stimulate healthy root development, enabling lawns and gardens to better withstand potentially harsh weather, such as summer heat waves or windy fall and winter afternoons. Compost is effective because it provides food for microorganisms that contribute to overall soil health. When these microorganisms are fed, they produce phosphorous, potassium and nitrogen. As a result, homeowners save money because they do not need to purchase

(MS) — Highlighting, or up lighting, is a landscaping technique in which light from below is used to accent certain focal points in a landscape. In many instances, the light is used to illuminate a particularly impressive or unique plant. When highlighting, two or more spot light fixtures are placed at the base of a landscape component and pointed upward. While highlighting is most commonly used to illuminate plants, it can be used to draw attention to other focal points of a landscape as well, including sculptures or other garden structures. Light fixtures are aimed away from observers as a means to preventing glare, and oftentimes the fixtures themselves are camouflaged to maintain the natural beauty of the landscape.

Kanata Vaccum and Sewing specializes in Beam® vacuum system Clinical Research shows a Beam® Central Vacuum relieves all seven major allergy symptoms: • activity ; 46 per cent improvement, • non-nasal: 48 per cent improvement • nasal: 47 per cent improvement, • eye: 61 per cent improvement, • sleep: 44 per cent improvement • emotional: 58 per cent improvement, • practical: 52 per cent improvement. A Beam® Central Vacuum System removes dust and allergens from your living area, carrying them to the power unit typically located in the garage. Proven allergy relief Combating home-based allergens requires a number of steps, including preventing their entry to the home, controlling temperature and humidity levels, use of air cleaning devices or systems as well as hypo-allergenic decor and careful cleaning. Use of a central vacuum systems can result in a signiﬁcant reduction of allergy symptoms, according to a study of hay fever patients by the University of California (February 2002). The study found that common symptoms of hay fever, such as itchy, watery eyes and runny nose and sneezing, were signiﬁcantly less severe during the periods in which participants used the central vacuum system instead of an upright vacuum. A Beam Central Vacuum System is easy to install in any home - old or new! Beam systems are not new to Canada, in fact, many homes are already partially installed for a Beam. If your home is 30 years old or less, you may be “roughed-in” for a Beam Central Vacuum System already! The rough-in process means your house was built with central vacuum piping installed in your walls. By doing this, it limits the amount of time it takes to install a Beam.

With a basic rough-in complete, wall outlets can be installed, then the power unit can be installed in the basement, garage, or other compact spaces. You don’t have a rough-in. Can you still get a Beam? Absolutely! Installation is possible in any home. Your local Beam expert has installation specialists that can install in any home. Even century homes are possible for a Beam installation. To get your new Beam, visit your Beam expert. You can arrange to have your new central cleaning system installed, or do-it-yourself! Either way, you will notice a clean difference in your home when you get a Beam. Your local expert serves you best Not just anyone can become a local Beam dealer, which is why we call them Beam Experts. At Beam, we select the professionals with a quality reputation, lots of experience and who know customer service is number one. This way, we can assure that your Beam experience is a good one.

Eventually, they even made their own windows and doors right at the store in North Gower.

For example, people are putting the most aggressive texture on the laneway, with a complementary but less aggressive texture on the walkway. Contrasting borders – where a different but complementary product is used along the edges of a walkway, lane or patio – are also very no doubt popular.” The Olsen Sales Centre features displays, literature and knowledgeable staff to enable you to see products and visualize them in projects similar to yours.

Save you 100’s Every Month!!

Barrhaven family will be walking for allergy awareness

If you have as little as $10,000 in debt, we have a solution for you.

DANIEL NUGENT-BOWMAN Manji Giamberardino can easily recall the situation where she wanted to make people more knowledgeable about allergies. Her son Michael – who has allergies to all dairy, egg, peanuts, tree nuts and seafood – was only 18-months-old when disaster nearly stuck. “I had just gone back to work and I thought I had everything under control as far as sending him to daycare,” she said. “He had a cross-contamination with something there and went into full-blown anaphylaxis. Her husband, Gino, had to administer the Epipen to quell the situation. “That’s the time where I said, I really need to educate everybody around him even more than I thought.” As the mother of two children – Cristina, 14, has many of the same allergies as her younger brother – the Barrhaven resident is constantly looking for ways to keep people informed. She said that starts at home with Michael, now 10, Cristina and Gino, and then branches out to those around them. “It’s all about managing and education,” Giamberardino said. “Educating them and making them aware of their surroundings and then educating the world school system, caregivers, parents and family.” Along with the Allergy/Asthma Information Association (AAIA), Giamberardino aims to push that awareness to the forefront on May 7 with the Epipen Take Action walk along the Ottawa River Parkway Trail at Tunney’s Pasture. May is Allergy Awareness Month. Giamberardino believes the biggest misconception by most people is that allergies are just an intolerance. But, she said, her children’s are life-threatening where even a trace of the substance can be very hazardous. Giamberardino added it’s the adults who need most of the reminders about avoidance and wiping hands. Since, she said, a third of the students at her children’s school have allergies, the youngsters are the most aware. “The children are actually the most supportive,” Giamberardino said. “They get it. It’s the parents have you really

for Mothers’ Day MANJI GIAMBERARDINO have to educate.” Since both her children play on hockey and soccer teams, Giamberardino makes sure to tell the coaches of Michael and Cristina’s allergies and she’ll pack their own food if they have an activity like a pizza party. Thanks to the local AAIA chapter, Giamberardino said she knows how to instruct travel planners and restaurant managers to ensure proper preparation. “Without their education, I don’t think we would be where we are today,” she said, adding that she has asthma and her husband has multiple allergies. “It just gives you that confidence and freedom to just do whatever and not limit your children.” That’s just it for Giamberardino. She doesn’t want to get caught up in constant worrying, but instead, would rather her children to grow in a safe environment. “I think you’re always cautious,” she said. “I don’t like to use the word ‘scared’ because that’s not how I want them to be. I do want them to be cautious all the time because you can never let your guard down.”

Dunces Anonymous a hit with the crowd LJ MATHESON laurie.matheson@metroland.com

Students at Manotick Public School were treated to more than a good read on April 21 when the author of a Silver Birch nominated children’s book paid a visit. Kate Jaimet is the author of Dunces Anonymous – a book that deals with issues children face today. She was a reporter for an Ottawa daily newspaper, but decided to take a leap of faith – and a buy-out package. “When I was on maternity leave in 2004, I started to write the book,” she said prior to her speaking engagement at the school. “It took about a year to write.” Clad in their dunce hats, a few students in grades four to six met with the Ottawa author in the library for an informal meet-and-greet. “I love the book,” said Charlotte Spicer, 9. “It’s about parents living through their kids.” Jaimet said she put her writing efforts into two projects aimed at young adults. Her first published manuscript was written after Dunces Anonymous. She had travelled across the country with a friend to a British Columbia writing conference where she hooked up with her current publisher: Orca. After some discussion, she drew on her love of sports and background in athletics, and came up with a basketball story for the publisher’s teen sports’ series. Slam Dunk which was

Students at Manotick Public School wear dunce caps in support of Ottawa author Kait Jaimet who penned the novel, Dunces Anonymous, and spoke at the school on April 20. The students are Charlotte Spicer, Lindsay Jefferson, Isha Gill, Sydney Powell, Karen Bailey, Caitlin McDonald, Alicia Boxma and Romey Brant. published in the spring of 2009. “They didn’t publish Dunces until after Slam Dunk,” she said. In Dunces Anoymous, there is a little bit of child in all of us, as we learn through the characters in the book. Josh Johnson’s mother wants him to run for class president. Josh just wants to run and hide. If only there was a club for downtrodden 11-year-olds to escape from their parents’ ambitions. Josh decided to invent one himself and Dunces Anonymous was created. Soon he’s joined by Magnolia Montcrieff, whose mother wants her to be a

romantic actress; and Wang Xiu, whose father insists on him playing competitive chess. Together they concoct a series of crazy schemes to free kids from their parents’ good intentions. “I couldn’t put it down. It was a fast read,” said Lindsay Jefferson, 10. “It was like we were in the story.” Romey Brant, 8, said she related to one of the characters in the book. “I like to act, like Magnolia, but I’m more dramatic.” Lisa Powell, a volunteer at the school, organized the time spent with the author as part of the program where students vote for their favourite books. Dunces Anonymous was one of the 10 books nominated this school year by the Ontario Library Association for the Silver Birch Fiction Award. “We have been reading it along with our other Silver Birch books since last October when the book clubs were launched by the Ontario Library Association,” Powell said. Manotick Public is one of the few schools in the area who carries the Ontario Library Associations’ yearly book club selections. Featured in the book clubs are 10 of Canada’s ‘best pick’ picture books/novels for kids. The school’s library staff and volunteers were able to purchase these books after raising more than $2,000 in February with their third annual Kiwanis Read-a-thon. Tuesday, April 19 marked the students’

MOTHER’S DAY WEEKEND SPECIAL May 6th & 7th, 2011

voting day where they were encouraged to vote for their favourite books to win a reader’s choice award from the Ontario Library Association. Results from their vote will be submitted to the library and an overall winner will be announced on May 11. In the Blue Spruce (K-2) category, “My Think-A-Ma-Jink” by Dave Whamond was the top choice. In the Silver Birch Express category, the MPS school winner was “Binky the Space Cat” by Ashley Spires. In the Silver Birch Fiction category, the school’s top selection was “The Giant Slayer” by Iain Lawrence, while in the Silver Birch Non-Fiction category, there was a tie for top honours with “How to Build Your Own Country” by Valerie Wyatt and “Talking Trails, The Incredible Connection Between People and Their Pets” by Ann Love and Jane Drake. There were 134 ballots cast. MPS’s book club will celebrate the end of the year with a party on May 11 from 10:15 to 11 a.m., and will encompass two book-related games: racing with books on heads and racing to put books in right order as if shelving them in the library as well as a station to make bookmarks and a snack centre. “Parents who gave book talks on the Silver Birch Express and Silver Birch Fiction books are invited to attend and bring food,” Powell said. Book draws will be held compliments the Kiwanis. Marlene Elliott, Caren Hollinger and Powell organizing the event.
