Fence-All worker Andre Deschenes constructs a fence at a Barrhaven residence on May 5. Deschenes’s job was halted at the location by a City of Ottawa bylaw officer on April 28 just 10 minutes after he hooked up a water hose. The city issued an outdoor water ban for Barrhaven, Manotick and Riverside South the day before while workers attempt to fix a broken water main on Woodroffe Avenue that services the area. Fence-All was given a warning instead of a minimum $500 fine.

The City of Ottawa hasn’t started levying its minimum $500 fines for those disobeying the outdoor water ban in Barrhaven, Manotick and Riverside South, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t monitoring the situation carefully. Linda Anderson, chief of bylaw and regulatory services at the city, said no charges have been issued so far because “people are upset enough and they’re struggling with all of this so it’s not our intention to make it worse” at the current time. “We’ve received complaints and we’re doing investigations,” she said. “If somebody is not in compliance, we’re having a discussion with them about the ban and education. “We’re at, pretty much, 100 per cent compliance right now.” The city has 30 days to issue a ticket after catching someone breaking the bylaw to allow officers to consult with city staff first. Anderson wouldn’t speculate if previous offenders will get off scot free. “Every case is going to be unique unto itself,” she said. Media relations officer Jocelyne Turner confirmed that the city is only issuing warnings right now, but can charge up to $25,000 for breaking the ban – a number that could get as high as $100,000 in court. Turner said the pricier fines would only be given to large corporations that repeatedly broke the ban after constant warnings. The city started their crackdown just one day after announcing the ban on April 27, which prevents residents and businesses in affected areas from any outdoor water use while the a broken water main on Woodroffe Avenue is replaced.

Ottawa South residents are facing a long, dry summer in Riverside South, Barrhaven and parts of Manotick after the City of Ottawa issued an outdoor watering ban on April 27. But gardens haven’t gone to the birds yet. Residents with a motivated green thumb can still maintain a healthy, vibrant and colourful garden through the waterless spring and summer if they follow a few simple guidelines outlined by David Goodfellow, co-ordinator of Algonquin College’s horticulture program. Avoid thirsty annuals Annuals are some of the thirstiest flowers you can plant in your garden, and will certainly demand the lion’s share of your rain barrel’s unpredictable contents, according to Goodfellow. “I would suggest people stay away from water-needy annuals like impatiens and begonias,” he said, noting that hardier annuals such as portulaca and petunias might fare better. “People will find other things will do quite well, and they can always take a little water from the bathtub on those few days when it
gets too dry,” he added. Don’t mow, let it grow In drought conditions, mowing your lawn can be one of the worst things for it, especially in a heat wave. “If the grass is not long, by cutting the leaves you can kill it. You allow even more water to be lost, you allow even more sun through and it dries out even more,” Goodfellow explained. He said if you have to cut the grass, do it after a rainfall. Goodfellow also noted that in a relatively wet area like Ottawa, even the hottest, driest summer is unlikely to kill an established lawn completely. “In the days before irrigation, lawns normally dried out in summer months and greened up in the fall. They’ll go a little brown, but they’ll come back,” he said. Charles Billington from the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority added that it will be good for residents to take a break from their annual lawn stress. “If people can just have a few months to get used to the idea of not investing the time and resources into their lawn, they might get used to having a natural lawn. We don’t want a brush pile, but just a normal lawn,” he
said. To mulch or not to mulch? Mulching has often been hailed a soil saver in dry conditions because of its ability to keep out the sun and prevent the soil underneath from drying out. However, its impenetrable surface is exactly the problem when it comes to keeping gardens as moist as possible during a water ban. “Once the soil underneath dries, the next rain may not penetrate into the soil. So in a way it can be detrimental. The value of mulch is overstated,” Goodfellow said. He advised to skip the mulch and use rain barrel water in the most efficient way possible, prioritizing flowers and new plants over established shrubs and grass. Believe in your trees Unless it was planted this year, your favourite tree will likely not die during the water ban imposed this summer, and should be a last priority when doling out rain water. “Certainly trees and established shrubs will survive quite well. There’s no reason to water well-established trees and shrubs, because they’re very unlikely to die even in really hot weather,” Goodfellow said.
Water woes in Barrhaven, Manotick Ottawa South From ‘Taps’, page 1 Fence-All, based in south Ottawa, was given a warning while working on a resident’s fence in Barrhaven at 7 a.m. on April 28. Company fence builder Andre Deschenes said he needed water to mix the cement required for the one-metre-deep holes that support each of the 13 poles for the fence. Not knowing about the ban, Deschenes started hooking up the hose, but within 10 minutes bylaw was on the scene. The officer suspended the work until Fence-All could acquire water from elsewhere. The project resumed on May 4. (Turner said for bylaw to get there that quickly, a neighbour would have informed them). Resident Jennifer Holmes said the experience has taxing for her and her aunt. Not having a fence – which was completely torn down in the wind storm on April 28 – meant she’s had to watch her dog, Joey, more carefully. The coton de tultar dog, about eight kilograms, once got under the previous fence and was hit by a car on the adjacent Wolfgang Drive –off of Fallowfield Road. “It was very frustrating and
disappointing because it prolonged the job from getting done,” she said. “We couldn’t let our dogs out.” Deschenes said he would only need one 150-litre water barrel for such a job, which he could get by filling up at the company since it is located outside of the city’s restricted area. He added that both he and the company fully intend to comply with the bylaw and that the only hindrance would be more organization. “As long as the company knows (where the ban is in effect), it’s OK,” Deschenes said. “Then we can bring our own water... $500 (fine) is a lot of money.” While the ban may inconvenience some, Anderson fully expects people to adhere to it and said fines would be levied soon otherwise. “I don’t think we’re going to have very many of them,” Anderson said. “But if we have somebody who is consistently non-compliant after we’ve spoken to them and explained the ban, we may not have a choice than to proceed with charges. “That would be a worst-case scenario.”

Rain barrel truck sales to help Ottawa charities EMMA JACKSON emma.jackson@metroland.com

Barrhaven Ottawa South This Week -MAY 12 2011

This weekend residents affected by the City of Ottawa’s outdoor water ban can do a little good when they buy a refurbished rain barrel from a number of truckload sales events around the city. Rainbarrel.ca, an Ontario company that makes refurbished rain barrels out of old vegetable transport containers, has partnered with four charities and non-profit organizations in Ottawa to sell their product at $55, with $10
from each sale going directly to the charity hosting the event. As the City of Ottawa is offering a $50 rebate for rain barrels purchased by affected residents, customers only pay $5 for their barrel, which company spokesperson Larry Pomerantz said is sturdier than the ones in stores. “They’re far more durable than rain barrels we see at retail outlets. They are solid barrels. People have been using them for decades. We just turned that into a business and we keep our prices low because of the volume we have,” he said. The refurbished barrels each have a mosquito and leaf debris filter basket, an overflow hose, an outlet to join rain barrels together in series and a spigot at the bottom for connecting a standard garden hose. Pomerantz said the barrels meet the city’s rebate requirements. Customers must pre-purchase or reserve a rain barrel on the website before the event, although Pomerantz said a very few extra barrels will be sent for “walk-up” sales. Customers who choose not to pay online in advance can only pay cash when they pick up their barrel. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on May 14, residents can pick up their reserved rain barrel at Mother Teresa Catholic High School and from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Barrhaven United Church, 3013 Jockvale Rd. On May 15, distribution will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Ottawa Torah Centre located at 111 Lamplighters Dr. at the corner of Kennevale Drive and through

He said each location will have a 1,200 barrel maximum for logistics’ sake, but that if interest is high enough the company will plan more events for the following weekend.

Mark Nesbitt, operations manager for R.W. Tomlinson’s limestone quarry off Moodie Drive, stands by the wreckage of a $100,000 manlift that was driven off a cliff two weeks ago. The company is offering $5,000 for information leading to the arrest of the vandals, who Nesbitt believes are teenagers or young adults.
EMMA JACKSON emma.jackson@metroland.com
A west-end quarry is offering $5,000 for information leading to the arrest of whoever dumped a $100,000 piece of machinery off a quarry cliff near Moodie Drive in Nepean on Easter weekend. The unsupervised manlift, which features a metal basket and an 25-metre lever to help quarry employees work at greater heights, was hijacked, driven up a steep quarry road, and sent off the 20 metre cliff into the on the R.W. Tomlinson property below. The machine was damaged beyond repair, which operations manager Mark Nesbitt said will come out of staff bonuses at the end of the year. “None of us here are very impressed,� he said as he drove toward the wreckage of the massive machine, which is still lying smashed to pieces in the spot it landed two weeks ago. On top of the financial repercussions, his workers now have no way to reach areas of the quarry that are higher than three metres, for which they need to be tied off and harnessed in a manlift. Nesbitt said the $5,000 reward is less of a bounty for the criminals responsible, and more an attempt to make nearby communities such as Bridlewood in Kanata and subdivisions in Barrhaven aware that this kind of dangerous vandalism is happening in their backyards. “The way this happened, there could have easily been somebody going over the bank with it,� explained Nesbitt, who
said he believes it was teenagers having a laugh who were responsible for the crime. “We’re trying to at least get the parents aware, the neighbours aware, that these kids are acting up and you should at least talk to your kids because it could be one of them next.� R.W. Tomlinson’s western border runs right next to the NCC’s popular Lime Kiln trail, and Nesbitt said the fence between the two properties is constantly trampled down or broken as kids break in to explore the expansive limestone quarry. Although he doesn’t know how the machine was turned on and driven without the key, he said it’s fairly easy to jimmy a construction vehicle like the one that was destroyed. He says he believes it had to be someone with construction experience to know how to operate the lift. “Just to be able to operate this thing, you’ve got to have your foot on the safety switch for it to move, and then of course there are controls. So I’m guessing they might have been young lads working construction or something. I don’t know the whole truth. I just know it’s not like driving a car,� he said, adding that the machine was left in the unsupervised part of the quarry because it’s incredibly slow to drive to the front of the property every night. “It takes half hour to drive it out, and half hour to drive it back, so you just take the key out and think you’re good to go. They must have been here two hours to do what they did.� Anyone with information is asked to call the company at 613-822-1867.

More money needed for police generators, board says EMMA JACKSON emma.jackson@metroland.com
The Ottawa Police Services board has put several projects on hold and reduced the budgets of others to pay for increased costs for a new emergency generator system at the Elgin Street police headquarters, which will cost $1.15 million more on top of the $2.5 million already budgeted to replace the aging electrical equipment. At the monthly police services board meeting on May 2, members approved a plan that would transfer an extra $1,150,000 to the generator project from a series of Facilities Lifecycle Projects that had been slated to upgrade police facilities across the city, from floor tile replacements on 10th Line
Road to elevator upgrades at the Greenbank facility to major repair work in the Elgin Street station’s parking garage. West Carleton-March councillor Eli El-Chantiry, chairman of the police services board, said the generator system urgently needs to be replaced, and the extra cost to get bigger and better generators to cover 100 per cent of the Elgin facility’s power needs – which include the city’s 911 call centre - is worth it. “We need a bigger system than what we have, and this is part of the upgrade we have been doing all along. Most offices today can’t function without heat or air conditioning, so it’s important to have a system that will immediately kick in,” he said, noting that the current system only supplies about
70 per cent of the building’s power needs. “If you can’t provide proper workplace safety and conditions, then employees don’t have to work. If you just think about 150 or 200 personal computers running in a building without air conditioning, you know work would be very limited.” The report said the two existing generators were installed 30 years ago and have reached the end of their useful life. Furthermore, an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) system was installed in 2000 to cover critical areas of the building such as the call centre, dispatch and computer systems in preparation for the Y2K scare, but has now reached its maximum capacity and needs to be backed up with bigger generators.
“Further expansion (of the UPS system) is impractical from both a design and cost basis, and system reliability is at a critical point,” the report said, noting that earlier plans to replace the system have been cancelled because the new generators will cover what the other project meant to do. Those $60,000 savings will be moved into the $1.15 million pot for the added generator cost, said director of police facilities Ian Fisher. Other headquarter projects delayed to 2012 due to the funds transfer include a $620,000 waterproofing and topping project for the headquarter’s parking garage, the $120,000 replacement of ventilation systems and air handling units in the lobby and firing range, and the $50,000

rebuilding of an exhaust fan system in the parking garage. At the 10th Line facility in the East end, $30,000 worth of floor tile replacements have also been deferred to 2012, and at the Greenbank facility a $120,000 elevator modernization project has been put on hold for up to two years. The building’s scheduled exterior caulking project to fix leaking windows has been reduced by $150,000 because a temporary caulking fix in 2010 has apparently held up better than expected. “We thought we’d have to do it every year because it’s an exterior problem, but it seems to have held up for another year,” Fisher said. El-Chantiry said the situation is unfortunate but necessary. “Of course, when you take money from something, something else must be delayed. It will have an impact,” he said, noting the city staff report is clear the generators are top priority. “The upgrade to the Emergency Generators at 474 Elgin Street is an essential requirement to ensure that, in the event of an electrical power outage, the OPS Communications/911 Centre, OPS computer and IT systems and City of Ottawa Radio Networks can continue to operate on an uninterrupted basis,” the report concluded. The generators are expected to be installed and operational by fall of 2011. CELL BLOCK SURVEILLANCE The board also moved forward with the approval of a new cell block surveillance system for the 63-cell central cell block facility at the Elgin Street headquarters. Approximately $350,000 has been approved to upgrade 83 cameras and other video surveillance equipment to include audio capabilities and better picture quality, in part to address community concerns around several high-profile cases of alleged police abuse. “This is part of the steps we are taking, obviously because of the Stacey Bonds case and to address some community concern,” El-Chantiry said. The current cameras are about six years old, and a staff report said system failures become more likely with time, which could lead to loss of important data and evidence. Furthermore, four prisoner phone rooms, three holding cells and the prisoner property storage area currently don’t have any surveillance at all, which will change with the upgrade. Ottawa’s Sunotech Canada Inc will provide the camera equipment which should be installed within the next few months.

Protecting water shouldn’t be a hardship
R
esidents affected by the outdoor water ban in Riverside South, Barrhaven and parts of Manotick have every right to be worried about their shrivelling gardens, dirty cars and the loss of local splash pads to help keep kids cool this summer. People in the affected areas can’t fill up their pools, run a sprinkler or use any outdoor water at all to water their gardens or lawns, because of a broken water main on Woodroffe Avenue. As a result, residents could go without outdoor water all summer, with the threat of a minimum $500 fine from the city’s bylaw department looming over any temptation to just go ahead and use the backyard hose. This outright ban will undoubtedly leave dusty yards and cranky kids in its waterless wake, and no one is questioning the severity or necessity of the city’s ban, which took residents by surprise on April 27. But residents who consider this ban a hardship have taken their worries a step too far. Contrary to popular opinion, this ban is not a hardship; it’s merely an inconvenience. Gardens will be a little dry, but they’ll grow back. Drivers will have to go further for a car wash or resort to rain water and a sponge. Parents, unfortunately,
will have to drive instead of walk to splash pads, or else use the city’s indoor pools. But anyone who calls these inconveniences a hardship haven’t considered the much greater, and often deadlier, water problems around the world, of which Canadians are woefully ignorant because we are such an incredibly resource-rich country when it comes to fresh water. They haven’t considered that, in Canada, we are extremely lucky to have the abundance of clean, fresh water that we do, and that we would do well to protect it. And they perhaps haven’t considered that this ban is actually a golden opportunity in disguise to get used to conserving water, so that when fights over our country’s “blue gold” intensify in the future, they’ll be ready. We need to count ourselves lucky that, in Canada, water problems often stem from controlling and maintaining our abundance of clean water rather than trying to access it in the first place. Perhaps as they get ready to face the long, dry summer, these residents need to consider that the most positive aspect of this inconvenient ban could be the chance for some much-needed reflection.

Getting cross about bridges
A
s far as it’s possible to tell, there was only one political party in the federal election that promised to help build a new bridge across the Ottawa River. That was the Liberal party and you know what happened to it. That means either … (1) That we are lucky to have avoided all that construction and disruption, or (2) That we are doomed to live with our existing bridges. It depends on your point of view. Aside from those two, there is a separate possibility: (3) That bridges are a political jinx and we will never hear a politician utter the word “bridge” again. Ottawa is an odd place. It is full of bridges, yet some people are barely aware of them. And other people are obsessed by them. The people who are barely aware of bridges are those who don’t have to cross the crowded ones every day. As one of those people, I was taken aback a few years ago when a visiting West Coast author I was interviewing said that her first thought of Ottawa was as a “city of bridges.” I had never heard Ottawa described

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town that way before. And yet, when you think about it, there are tons of them. Think of the bridges over the Rideau Canal, stretching from downtown over to Bronson Avenue near Carleton. Think of the bridges over the Rideau River. And then think of the ones that cause all the controversy, the bridges over the Ottawa. Ottawa is indeed a city of bridges, but it doesn’t occur to you until you are stuck waiting to get onto one. Or until someone threatens to build one near your neighbourhood. In that respect, think of the mighty squawk that was heard when an extra lane was added to the Champlain Bridge in 2002. You could have expected and understood the agitation of residents living in the Island Park area, but NO THIRD LANE signs sprouted in neighbourhoods several kilometres to the west and east. For every resident who fears a new
bridge, there is another who demands one. Those are the people who are stuck in the twice-daily commute, waiting 15 minutes to get onto the bridge and not even able to phone to say that they will be late for fear of being arrested for violating the cellphone-in-cars ban. Or they are the ones who want the truck traffic through their neighbourhood to go somewhere else, courtesy of a new bridge. Meanwhile, in the putative area of the new bridge, there are people readying their NO BRIDGE signs. Judging by the extremely cautious statements of local politicians, when indeed they make statements at all, there is no reason to hope or fear that Ottawa will become a city of more bridges any time in the near future. You have to be able to read tea leaves to draw any conclusions, but the tea leaves seem to indicate that politicians are less afraid of the pro-bridgers than the no-bridgers. This does not bode well for those who were sort of hoping that Ottawa-Gatineau might have a new crossing in time for the 150th anniversary of Confederation in 2017. If it makes them feel any better, there is always the possibility that a new

bridge would not have solved anything at all. This conclusion relates to the often-cited theory, a variant of Parkinson’s Law, that the number of cars expands to fill the number of lanes allotted to them. In other words, no matter how many new roads you build, they will always be jammed. How this works can only be described in supernatural terms. Somehow there must be a magical mechanism that creates more vehicles at a precise moment. Scientists can not explain it, but Ottawa politicians clearly are aware of it. What all this means for the future is unclear. We will cross that bridge when we don’t come to it.

things like toothpaste or CocaCola then invests in them and waits for the dividend cheques to roll in. Johnson and Johnson is one of Foster’s largest holdings and their dividends have been rising for almost 40 straight years. Foster said investors’ dividends are now 300 per cent more than they were in 2000. “With five kids, it’s nice to know some of the money we spend on Band-aids will come back to us in the form of dividends,” the Barrhaven resident said. He also invests in Wal Mart, a place he probably spends a lot of his time. While he doesn’t have a villa in Spain, Foster said his plan pays the mortgage and lets him and his wife stay home with their children. “I just look for really simple things that people will still need

Derek Foster’s plan wasn’t a get rich quick one, but he was able to quit the rat race at the age of 34 and stay at home with his wife and five children from age one through 10. Foster started saving $200 per month while attending Carleton University studying for his Bachelor of Commerce. This is when he started investing. When he graduated from Carleton in 1993 Foster went to Australia with the money he saved. “When I graduated we were in a recession. I never really got a serious job. I would work at places like Radio Shack and save up money,” Foster said, adding that he backpacked through Europe and taught English in Korea. Over time he developed an investment strategy he says is so simple a six-year-old could illus-

Rideau Carleton Raceway’s World Class Lobby Thursday May 4th marked a special day for Rideau Carleton Raceway. Their lobby now boasts a Pegasus made from wire and hangs from the ceiling for all to enjoy. The racetrack commissioned the Pegasus from internationally award winning sculpture artist Elizabeth Berrien whose works are displayed in many public buildings throughout the world. Her Pegasus is only the fourth created and has a wing span of 17 feet. The Racetrack has been a destination in the National Capital Region for decades for racing and fine dining. We are sure that this new feature will be admired by all who pass through their lobby – just look up.

New Home Warranty
NC)—To protect the warranty that you are entitled to as the owner of a newly built home in Ontario, routine upkeep is essential. Improper maintenance, or just plain neglect, can result in damages that your warranty won’t cover. Tarion Warranty Corporation, the non–profit, private corporation established in 1976 to protect new home buyers according to the Ontario New Home Warranties Plan Act, suggests the following tips to help prevent moisture damage: OUTSIDE THE HOME • Fix the caulking around windows and doors and on the roof if it becomes cracked or separated. • Keep flowerbeds and landscaping at least six inches or 150 mm away from the top of the foundation. Placing soil near or above the top of the foundation allows moisture to come into direct contact with the structure of the home. • Clear eavestroughs of debris regularly and extend downspouts so that water is directed away from your home. Water that flows around the foundation could
eventually find its way into the basement. • Have your roof inspected regularly to ensure shingles, flashing and chimney caps are in place and sealed properly. INSIDE THE HOME • In the summer, dehumidify the basement to avoid condensation buildup on the cool foundation walls.
systems in your new home – including heating, electrical, plumbing and air conditioning – will both help safeguard your warranty and ensure you enjoy your home to the fullest. A more detailed Home Maintenance Checklist can be found online at www.tarion.com. If you have any questions about your warranty, contact Tarion at 1–877–982–7466.
• Repair leaky pipes and fixtures immediately. Clean and completely dry any areas that are dampened or wet within 48 hours. • Investigate and identify any musty smells and odours. They are often an indicator that there is a hidden moisture problem. • Purchase a “hygrometer” to monitor the relative humidity in your home. Ask your builder about additional maintenance tips. He may also be able to provide information about proper maintenance for specific products provided by manufacturers. Knowing how to properly operate all the

Manotick Musicale doubles its fun
Eighth annual show to feature first ever matinee performance DANIEL NUGENT-BOWMAN daniel.bowman@metroland.com
Submitted photo
The Manotick Brass Ensemble will be one of the main attractions during the 2011 Manotick Musicale on May 15. For the first time, the show will feature a matinee. “It’s a great fundraiser for them and we’re really happy that it works out as well for them as it does.” ROSSS administrator Clara Kennedy said the proceeds will go toward maintaining the cost of the organization’s core programs such as social recreation, foot-care services, and Meals on Wheels.
Tickets are available from the ROSSS office, at 1128 Mill St. in Manotick, as well as at Stewart’s Office Pro stationary store on Manotick Main Street. For more information, please call the Support Centre at 613-692-4697.

The 2011 Manotick Musicale is expected to be twice as fun as it has been in past years. The eighth annual popular variety show will feature a matinee for the first time, in addition to its usual night performance, with all proceeds going to the Rural Ottawa South Support Services (ROSSS). Both shows, called “A Time to Remember,” take place at Manotick United Church on May 14 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. “We’re hoping that by having an afternoon show, we’ll get some seniors out who may not come out in the evening and some families with younger children,” organizer Brian Cromie said. “It’s a great show and it highlights local performers. I think of it as a bit of a kitchen party. Whatever talents you’ve got, you kind of bring them to the stage.” In addition to the regular cast of char-
acters – the Manotick Brass Ensemble and the Village Singers under the direction of Kathy Blakely – there will be some new performers hitting the stage at this year’s multiple shows. Songs by the Retrosonics, led by Cromie’s friend Terry McGovern, will be sprinkled in throughout the afternoon and evening. The Retrosonics are a local that plays a wide variety of old favourites, jazz, country and soft pop. Cromie said the two performances will consist of four independent sets in first half and three in the second – with a slideshow presentation of Manotick’s history during the intermission – plus a nice surprise for the grand finale. “The last piece everybody’s going to come in together for a Stevie Wonder piece,” he said. Cromie said another highlight of the show will be hearing some of the tunes the Manotick Brass Ensemble played on their February trip to Cuba, where they went to plays concerts and performing workshops for young musicians. General admission is $20, seniors’ tickets are $15 and children 13 years and under are $8. Cromie said it’s that partnership with the ROSSS that makes the event worthwhile. “They do a lot of great things,” he said.

Lesson in respect has students rocking to the rhythm LJ MATHESON laurie.matheson@metroland.com
When the students of Holy Redeemer Elementary School in Kanata walked into a classroom surrounded by percussion instruments – most of which are homemade – little did they realize they were about to get a lesson in respect, as well as music. Motivational speaker, musican and counselor, Derek DeBeer of Barrhaven is a man of many faces… and talents. He was hired by the school to teach the students about the art of percussions – which is all about math, he says. “Everything in life has a rhythm, and it has a math connection,” he said. “By the end of this class, I will be able to tell you the best students in math.” It’s about grasping a beat and keeping it. It’s about observation, team work, listening skills… and applying those concepts under his direction. Dubbed a “rhythm safari”, DeBeer engages his students in applying various beats to make one big collection of sound – with a smattering of giggles and guffaws along the way. Natalie Schlesak’s Grade 4/5

Derek DeBeer of Barrhaven gave the students Holy Redeemer Elementary School in Kanata a lesson in music on May 4. class was receptive to the teaching of DeBeer, who was born in South Africa and learned the drums at an early age. “I knew what I wanted to do when I was really young,” he said after the class. “I was al-
ways entertaining. Then I started to get good at it and make some money at it.” He has toured the world, sharing the stage with such performers as Johnny Clegg, Bruce Springsteen, Peter Gabriel,

Sting, Tracy Chapman and Robert Palmer. He knows what the pressure to perform is like and he understands that the rhythm of team success is really the rhythm of trust. Through music and stories,

DeBeer uses his 30 years of experiences as a drummer and percussionist and turns that into a collection of interactive activities and insights that are humorous, energizing and profound. He tells his students to be themselves and find their own way. “Be yourself, because everyone else is taken,” he said. “So when you go home and your mom or dad asks you to clean the cat litter, empty the dishwasher… what do you do? You stop, listen to what they are asking, absorb the information and complete the task… then they will look at you and say, ‘Cool, dude.’” When asked what he gets out of teaching, he is quick to grin. “It’s not being egotistical,” he says. “But a lot of parents will come up to me and say that their son or daughter has not forgotten what they learned in one of my classes. When that happens, it’s a great feeling. When those kids learn something and take it home with them… wow.” DeBeer teaches kit drum (and hand drum) lessons out of his home.
