Paralympic dressage rider Jody Schloss accepts honours from Coun. Rick Chiarelli during the Ottawa Sports Awards ceremony at Algonquin College on Jan. 30. Schloss, who lives in Barrhaven, represented Canada at the recent Paralympic Games in London.

EMC news - Ottawa’s top athletes and their families gathered at Algonquin College on Jan. 30 for Canada’s largest amateur athletics awards.

The Ottawa Sports Awards, celebrating its 60th anniversary, handed out awards in every sport, recognizing coaches, athletes and volunteers.

The stars of the evening were Kanata’s Craig Savill, curler, and Orléans’ Courtnay Pilypaitis, basketball player, who were male and female athletes of the year.

Savill won the 2012 Brier and is the current world champion, while Pilypaitis competed for Canada at the 2012 Olympic Games.

The women’s athlete of the year trophy was renamed for six-time winner Kristina Groves, a Brookfield High School graduate, was able to attend the banquet to present Pilypaitis with the newlynamed Kristina Groves Female Athlete of the Year Award.

But it wasn’t all about the stars, as athletes from littlerecognized sports such as touch football and cricket were recognized for being the top in their sports in 2012.

It was the 60th year for the event, originally the Associated Canadian Travellers Sportsmen’s Dinner, and organizers invited an athlete up to the stage to represent each decade.

Anne Heggveit-Hamilton, Pat Morris, the Takahashi family, Linda Thom, Glenroy Gilbert and Groves represented the decades.

“Ottawa…provides the ideal environment to attract sports-minded individuals,” Heggveit-Hamilton said. “Our clubs have fostered and nurtured young athletes.”

It was a strong year for

Paralympic sports. The Ottawa Lions Track and Field Club received a special recognition for their work in promoting Paralympic sport, and training Paralympians.

Several athletes with physical handicaps took home awards, including Nepean’s Jody Schloss for equestrian, Denis Lapalme for sledge hockey, Jason Dunkerley for Paralympics and David Blair for rowing.

NOLTING REMEMBERED

Ralph Nolting was awarded the able sail award posthumously. Nolting started sailing again following a 2011 stroke that paralyzed his right side completely, and won the Silver Fleet Competition in the Nepean Cup in 2012. He died following a stroke in November 2012.

Orléans’ Jacob Mathews took home the award for Special Olympics, the top prize for athletes with intellectual handicaps.

The Capital City Condors, a hockey club for players with disabilities, received a $500 cheque from the sports endowment fund. The Somali Youth Basketball organization also received $500 from the same fund.

Female team of the year went to the Ottawa Fury WLeague soccer team, which won its league championship in 2012.

The male team of the year and male coach of the year from last year repeated – the Carleton University Ravens men’s basketball team and the team’s head coach, Dave Smart, took the titles again.

The Ravens have been team of the year six times in the past eight years.

Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - A new cycling event this summer will help to set the wheels in motion for the Queensway Carleton Hospital’s newest fundraising campaign.

Melanie Adams, president of the hospital’s foundation, announced on Jan. 29 that it will partner with Share the Road Cycling Coalition and GranFondo Canada to start an annual event called Wheels for Wellness. The inaugural fundraiser will roll out on June 15.

Adams said the ride would cover between 50 and 100 kilometres of terrain in the west end of the city. Rookie riders can participate in the 0-50 challenge, which offers nutritional and training support through the hospital – for men and women who have never participated in a ride before.

Dean Hachey of GranFondo Canada, which offers cycling events in world-renowned locations like Banff National Park, said he was happy to bring cycling events to Ontario.

The ride in Ottawa will be one of

Foster Family Month

With family day just around the corner, we’re reminded of the importance of families and family life. Many of us spend the day enjoying quality me with our families, possibly ska ng on the canal or hos ng a special dinner. At the end of the day, family day marks a me to appreciate the important people in our lives, our children, parents, rela ves and friends. This day acts as a reminder of how fortunate we are everyday to have a circle of individuals in which we can surround ourselves. Sadly, this is the not the case for many children and youth in our community, which is why the Children’s Aid Society of O awa (CASO) is dedica ng the month of February to foster families.

We all remember what it’s like to be a teenager and how hard it can be to simply ďŹ t in. Imagine going through this me without parental support. When matching youth with foster parents, considera on is always given to quali es such as personality, culture and ethnicity.

These familiar traits are important in helping youth feel comfortable, safe and secure in their temporary surroundings.

CASO is very fortunate to have many loving and devoted foster families open their hearts and their homes. They provide parental guidance and support youth desperately need. Our foster parents are from all walks of life; they are single or partnered, re red or at home and from diverse backgrounds. These individuals provide a suppor ng home environment for youth who have been temporarily removed from their home. The care is typically for a short period of me, while CASO work with the natural parent(s) to improve the home condi ons or an alternate living arrangement is made within the child’s own extended family or community. Regardless of the me period, foster parents play a vital role in the life of a youth.

Partnership allows students to use new technology College launches health and wellness research centre Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - A cash infusion from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) prompted the launch of a health and wellness research centre at Algonquin College on Jan. 30.

The $2.3-million grant is the third grant given to the college through NSERC’s College and Community Innovation program. It will help to link small, local companies with lab space at the college and allow students to use new and developing technology while training for work in their field.

College president Kent MacDonald said the launch was about a year in the making.

“I think it’s the job of post-secondary educational institutions to improve the communities they are in,” he said. “And with this type of partnership, we can help move products that will benefit Canada’s healthcare system from the idea stage to the marketplace.”

The health and wellness research centre employs a full-time project manager and a support staff member who together engage students and academic leaders on projects with industry partners. There are currently six such projects underway and staff hope to start 10 more this year.

Markus Latzel, president of Palomino System Innovations – a company that uses Cloud

computing technology to store health data – said the real life patient data provided by working with nurses at the college’s centre is invaluable.

Mark Hoddenbagh, director of applied research and innovation at the college said research partnerships will result in better trained professionals graduating from the college and entering the workforce.

“The mission of this centre is to leverage the college’s existing educational and research strengths to contribute to the health and wellness sectors, resulting in highly trained personnel, economic development and job creation,” Hoddenbagh said. “We are thrilled to launch this new centre which we know will provide a major boost to health and wellness research in Ottawa by enhancing hands-on student training

and preparedness for the workplace, assisting entrepreneurs, small and medium enterprises and large companies and further developing the skills of our faculty.”

Bert van den Berg, with NSERC, said the grant was the maximum the research council allows.

The council has provided 240 grants to 60 colleges through the innovation program.

Barrhaven singers take spotlight at Greely Idol Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - Two Barrhaven Music Academy students stepped into the spotlight following their performances at the Greely Idol competition.

The competition – which is an amateur musical talent show – was held in Greely on Jan. 26 and 27. Ashley Martyn, co-owner of the Barrhaven Music Academy said the two students and all who auditioned did a great job.

Gillian Fenwick, a 13year-old student at Greenbank Middle School won first in the senior category (ages 13 to 18) for her rendition of Titanium, a song by David Guetta.

Gillian, who only started voice lessons in September, said she chose the song be-

I was nervous at first, but when I got up there it felt great GILLIAN FENWICK

cause it suited her voice and she had been working on it with her teacher. She was the youngest performer in her category.

Happy and surprised with the accolades she received after her first performance, Gillian said she would be returning to the stage. “I was nervous at first, but when I got up there it felt great,� she said.

When she isn’t belting out

a tune, Gillian plays hockey and enjoys English in school.

She thinks she might want to be a teacher, but isn’t sure.

Anna West, 9, tied for first in the junior division (ages seven to 12) with her performance of Adele’s One and Only. “I like Adele because she has a strong voice,� Anna said.

Martyn said Anna has been taking vocal lessons for a few years now. “She has already matured into a polished performer,� she said.

Anna said she was surprised and happy with the win.

The Chapman Mills Public School student plays piano and does gymnastics when she isn’t on stage, but she said she wants to be a singer when she grows up.

A graphic of Valley Stream East Park. The community association says the proximity to a school, a baseball diamond and two play structures make it an inappropriate location and the city now agrees.

No dogs allowed Community association holds onto designation for local park jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - Valley Stream East Park will remain dog-free thanks to recommendations from community members and the area councillor.

The park – at 92 Gladecrest Court – came into the spotlight in August after a petition proposed turning it into an off-leash dog park.

College Coun. Rick Chiarelli said he talked to staff about the residents concerns and is happy with the recommendation.

“The park is really shared with St. John the Apostle (Catholic Elementary School), so it wasn’t really appropriate,” Chiarelli said. “Bruce Pit is minutes away, which makes it an option.”

The process to change a park designation can be started

by a written proposal from the community association or by a petition signed by 25 or more residents within a 500-metre radius of the subject park.

The application is accepted by the city’s emergency and protective services department and the public has a consultation period of no less than three weeks.

At end of the consultation period, staff report to the ward councillor with the results. If the councilor agrees with the recommendation, the designation will stick. If not, the application goes to the community and protective services committee. The decision of the committee and council are final.

Chiarelli said it makes senses to keep the park free of dogs because of its location.

According to the city’s

dogs-in-park designation policy, criteria to change a park are determined by park size, the location and size of facilities – like baseball diamonds and play structures – and proximity to schools.

Jay Tysick, president of the Valleystream Community Association said the result is only possible because of community engagement with the process.

“It was a six-month process but we are happy to see residents are having an impact on the decision-making process,” Tysick said, thanking residents for their patience while they waited for the outcome.

“It can be a very divisive issue and now that it’s resolved I would like to thank everyone for getting past it and respecting the bylaw in the future,” Tysick said.

Community groups could see funding dry up Limits on councillors’ donations under discussion

It is on the public consultation side that I am concerned about the limitations that this might bring

Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - City councillors have begun to warn community groups that their ability to donate money from their office budgets to community events may soon be limited.

There is no firm proposal yet, but councillors say Mayor Jim Watson is proposing a cap on how much of their office budget councillors are allowed to donate to community causes, as well as limits on how involved municipal elected officials can be in the financial side of community events.

Donations and sponsorships are allowed under the current rules and the online office expense disclosure forms include a section for councillors to list the amount of donations they doled out.

Typical donations include things like membership to the local legion branch, sponsorship of a winter carnival, donations to food banks and the purchase of gift certificates as prizes for community events.

“Obviously that’s an area of concern to councillors be-

BOB BROCKLEBANK FEDERATION OF CITIZENS ASSOCIATIONS

LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND

Bob Brocklebank of the Federation of Citizens Associations likes the idea of greater spending transparency, but sees a downside to a new process that could cut councillors’ backing of local events. cause that’s part of our role – to promote events and showcase our communities,” said Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley. “That said, there are examples, shall we say, where someone may get the wrong perception of what’s going on … I don’t believe we should be handling all the money for the events.”

Hubley rarely gives donations from his office budget, he said, because he doesn’t want his residents to “get the

wrong impression” of the way he spends their tax dollars on their behalf.

The policy would be part of a code of conduct that’s being developed to build on the work of the city’s new integrity commissioner; efforts that include the lobbyist registry.

The proposal would put more parameters around how that office budget could be spent.

Each councillor received $234,000 in 2012 to spend on office supplies and staffing,

as well as community events, donations and sponsorships.

“As of right now, there is no definition as to how our office money should be spent,” said Rideau-Goulbourn Coun.

Scott Moffatt.

Bob Brocklebank of the Federation of Citizens Associations said anything to make council more transparent is a good thing, but a lack of flexibility in this case could be detrimental to community involvement.

The availability and use of councillors’ office-budget funds varies widely across the different wards, but that money is often used to rent space for community events and more importantly, community meetings, Brocklebank said.

Allowing flexibility in how councillors spend their allotment means there are more funds available to encourage community engagement, Brocklebank said, adding he doesn’t think councillors should be proud if they make a point of avoiding donations.

“It is on the public consultation side that I am concerned about the limitations that this might bring,” Brocklebank said. “Sometimes you go out and fix problems that don’t exist.”

Changing a practice that residents support and no one is complaining about doesn’t make much sense, Moffatt said.

He keeps his own “mental cap” on spending; he won’t

give out more than $10,000 of his office budget per year to community causes. Supporting community causes with tax dollars collected from citizens makes sense, Moffatt said.

The councillor said he tends not to organize or run community events because there is a large number of active groups in his ward. Instead, he contributes money to rent space or back community-led events in other ways.

“I like to be able to support them so that they can do community-oriented events that build community spirit and help bring the community together,” he said. “That’s what our job is … to support our communities and make our communities grow.”

Watson’s office budget is $778,000, but Hubley said the mayor’s budget wasn’t proposed to be subject to the same rules. That concerned the Kanata South councillor, who said any policy should apply equally to all members of council, including the mayor.

Watson’s press secretary, Ryan Kennery, said in an email it would be premature for the mayor to discuss the proposal. The policy proposal is expected to be announced in March, Kennery said.

Teens challenged to hold a tan-free grad

Lifetime achievement awards celebrate city’s best Continued from page 1

Jen Boyd, who was female coach of the year in 2007, took home the honours for the 2012 sporting year, coaching Algonquin College and Ashbury College women’s rugby teams. Both teams had near-perfect seasons, with the Ashbury Colts winning the silver medal at the provincial championship.

Bruce Campbell took home the Mayor’s Cup for outstanding contribution to sport in Ottawa for his work with the East Nepean Little League Baseball Association.

The Brian Kilrea Lifetime Achievement Coaching Award went to David Hart for his work with the national water polo teams.

For his work with the Rideau Canoe Club and Canoe/Kayak Canada, the Mark Lowry Memorial Award for sports volunteer or administrator went to Charles Slade.

Minto Skating Club’s Elizabeth Clark won the lifetime achievement award for technical official for her figure skating judging and work to bring elite skaters to Ottawa for workshops.

Heggveit-Hamilton said that the “layer-cake” it takes to put together sport includes volunteers, officials, coaches as well as athletes.

“The awards have been expanded to include all the ingredients in my imaginary layer-cake,” former Olympic alpine skier Heggveit-Hamilton said. “And the icing on that cake is recognition.”

EMC news - The Canadian Cancer Society is challenging teens to skip indoor tanning and organize a tan-free grad campaign in their high school to help educate their friends and peers about the health risks associated with tanning beds.

New this year, students can apply online at www.cancer. ca/tanfreegrad for a $300 grant, which they can use to develop a Tan-Free Grad campaign. The application deadline is Feb. 15.

“As teens start to plan for their grad, many will use tanning beds to get what they think is a ‘healthy glow,’” says Julie Datta of the Canadian Cancer Society’s Ontario division. “What they may not realize, is that tanning beds cause skin cancer – one of the most common yet preventable types of cancer.”

Results from a 2012 Canadian Cancer Society survey found that 16 per cent of Ontario students in grades 11 and 12 are using tanning beds; up from 7 per cent in 2006.

In 2009, the world’s foremost authority in identifying the causes of cancer classified ultraviolet radiation devices, including tanning beds, as known carcinogens. The Canadian Cancer Society has taken up the issue of youth tanning because tanning bed use before the age of 35 significantly increases a person’s risk of developing melanoma skin cancer. Melanoma skin

cancer is also one of the most common and deadliest forms of cancer among people ages 15 to 29 and is also one of the most preventable.

SURVIVOR

Kate Neale, a 22-year-old melanoma cancer survivor and Canadian Cancer Society volunteer, is encouraging teens across Ontario to help spread the word with their friends about the dangers of indoor tanning.

As a teenager growing up in Belleville, Ont., Neale wanted to be tanned. Against the wishes of her parents and regardless of the fact that she had fair and sunburn-prone skin, Neale started indoor tanning at age 16.

In the beginning, she tanned two or three times a week but soon ended up going for 12 to 16 minutes in the highest UVB pressured bed (double strength) sessions up to 16 times per month.

In May 2011, while visiting her parents, Neale’s mother noticed that a freckle on her daughter’s stomach had changed. A visit to a dermatologist and a biopsy later confirmed that the freckle was actually melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer.

Over the next few weeks, Neale underwent three more biopsies for skin lesions on her right breast, leg and arms.

“I’ll never forget going to the surgeon’s office with my mom – he thought she was the patient,” says Neale.

“When he realized that I was the patient, he told me I was the youngest person he’d ever treated for melanoma. I was only 21.

“Today, I have a six-inch scar on my stomach and live with so much fear.”

Neale’s battle with skin cancer is not over. Frequently new spots appear on her skin and she says they are always changing. She had a biopsy last June, which left her with eight stiches on her left breast, and she has had a total of 10 spots removed since then.

“I want every teen to be aware that the dangers of indoor tanning are very real. I hope my story inspires and empowers teens to take action and organize a tan-free grad in their school,” says Neale.

Like other “For Sale by Owners”, you’ll be subjected to a hundred sales pitches from agents who will tell you how great they are and how you can’t possibly sell your home by yourself. After all, without the proper information, selling a home isn’t easy. Perhaps you’ve had your home on the market for several months with no offers from qualified buyers. This can be a very frustrating time, and many homeowners have given up their dreams of selling their homes themselves. But don’t give up until you’ve read a new report entitled “Sell Your Own Home” which has been prepared

especially for homesellers like you. You’ll find that selling your home by yourself is entirely possible once you understand the process.

R0011695028

Ottawa - If you’ve tried to sell your home yourself, you know that the minute you put the “For Sale by Owner” sign up, the phone will start to ring off the hook. Unfortunately, most calls aren’t from prospective buyers, but rather from every real estate agent in town who will start to hound you for your listing.

Limit councillors’ access to public purse

A

policy to limit councillors’ ability to dole out money to community groups is a welcome proposal coming out of the mayor’s office.

Currently, it’s just an idea being floated around the council table by Mayor Jim Watson, but a policy is expected to be introduced sometime in March.

At least one city councillor is already warning community groups in his ward that

the policy would limit their ability to donate money from their office budget to support community events.

On the face of it, the policy sounds negative, resulting in less funding for the dozens of grassroots organizations that provide unpaid support services throughout the city.

But limiting a councillor’s spending powers doesn’t necessarily mean the money won’t be spent where it’s needed.

Just who’s doing the

spending – as it stands, a councillor can take a chunk of money from their office budget – funds provided by taxpayers – to arbitrarily dole out cash to groups of their choosing.

Typical donations include things like membership to the local legion branch, sponsorship of a winter carnival, donations to food banks and the purchase of gift certificates as prizes for community events.

Don’t get us wrong. We are in no way suggesting

that a donation to the local food bank is a bad idea; we are simply questioning the optics of how the money is spent and how the decision is made.

Giving councillors arbitrary access to the public purse offers the opportunity for inequalities in support given to groups and associations from ward to ward.

One councillor may choose to spend $10,000 while another may limit their donations to less than $2,000.

We aren’t questioning the morals or ethics of individual councillors, simply the equity of an arbitrary system that invites unfair distribution of funds and the use of public money to in effect campaign for re-election.

True, part of a councillor’s role is to promote events and showcase communities, but, as Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley suggests, “I don’t believe we should be handling the money for the events.�

Hubley said he rarely gives donations from his office budget because he doesn’t want to give the wrong impression.

We couldn’t agree more

– the obvious impression is that the receiver of the money owes the sender gratitude, which they may choose to repay in the form of support during the next election.

Watson’s proposal would be part of a code of conduct that’s being developed to build on the work of the city’s new integrity commissioner, such as the lobbyist registry.

We suggest the city create a new mechanism to provide support for community groups, such as giving the responsibility to a department.

Council could always allow councillors to highlight events and community groups in need of support.

COLUMN

After Dalton, a culture war?

One of the two leading parties is led by a businessman from Fort Erie, with a traditional marriage; the other is led by a community activist from Toronto, who is a lesbian. So there you have it: big city versus small town, man versus woman, old values versus new values, traditional marriage versus same-sex marriage, businessman versus activist, Barrhaven versus the Glebe.

People have talked about this kind of divergence in recent federal elections, with the Harper Conservatives, the hockey fans, versus the Ignatieff Liberals, the Chardonnay-sipping intellectuals. Tim Hortons versus Starbucks. The notion of a culture war is supported by the breakdown of the vote: Ignatieff’s main strength was in downtown Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver; Harper won the small towns and the suburbs.

So is that what we have to look forward to when Ontario goes to the polls?

Probably not. Because we are more complex than that. Our downtown intellectuals like hockey. There are opera fans in small towns, book clubs in Carleton Place. Barrhaven has a Starbucks, Tim Hortons has Wi-Fi, McDonald’s has lattes.

We are all moving closer together.

We all see basically the same TV and get the same Internet. Isolation is a thing of the past and differences no longer shock us. Even the gay factor is far less of an issue than it might have been 10 years ago. Small town parents have children with gay friends. It’s not a big deal.

Certainly you won’t hear anything about it from the opposition party leaders in the next election campaign. Whatever their private views they know that the biggest political risk is in appearing to be intolerant. It’s pretty hard to wage a culture war under those circumstances. It will likely be just another boring old election, fought on the usual issues, which is not that bad a thing.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

I

t’s going to take a little getting used to not having the premier of Ontario living in our town. There’s a lot of advantages to it, not least of which is having someone at Queen’s Park who knows Ottawa exists. That hasn’t always been the case. It’s a pretty big city, Ottawa, but a bit far from Toronto.

The reviews on Dalton McGuinty’s tenure as premier have been mixed. The consensus seems to be that he did quite well, but his last few months didn’t do him credit. In Ottawa we knew him as sort of a clunky guy, not a smooth politician, but a person we could be comfortable with.

That might explain how he got elected six times as an MPP, three times as premier.

McGuinty’s last election was a minority win, which means the opposition parties are looking forward with some relish to the next election. What kind of an election will that be? Could it be different from what we have seen — mild-mannered affairs in which ideology plays a minimal role and the parties cluster into the centre?

What observers now fear is a culture war, of the kind we have seen recently in the United States and, to a lesser extent, in Canadian federal politics.

In a culture war, the two sides are bitterly divided. Rather than cluster into the centre, they diverge widely and bitterly.

They are divided not only on political issues, but on personal beliefs and patterns of behaviour.

The stage is set for it, that’s for sure.

BARCHAM PARK DESIGNS COMPLETE, READY TO GO TO TENDER After consultations with the community in late 2012, the final drawings for Barcham Park on Bren Maur Road have been completed and the project will be sent to tender shortly.

Once tendered, the park is scheduled for construction in 2013. Part of the construction process will require the addition of fill and topsoil, which may require relocating existing trees.

It is good to see this project moving forward and I look forward to seeing more residents being able to enjoy this community space. For a detailed version of the park design, please visit: www.stevedesroches.ca

FUTURE BARRHAVEN SOUTH RECREATION COMPLEX CONSTRUCTION SET TO BEGIN As you may know, Ellis Don Corporation was the successful bidder on the construction of the Barrhaven South Recreation Complex, to be constructed at the intersection of Cambrian Road and Greenbank Road in Barrhaven’s south end.

As the builder gets mobilized to begin construction, residents will notice an increased activity at the site. The recreation centre will be a great asset to our community and will bring an increase in recreation opportunities for local residents.

HYDRO OTTAWA – 2012 BARRHAVEN RELIABILITY REPORT Since 2010, Hydro Ottawa has been investing in projects that will help to improve the reliability performance in South Nepean by adding more capacity at substations, building new feeders, and adding automated devices.

On behalf of Hydro Ottawa, I am pleased to report that in 2012 the customers of South Nepean only experienced, on average, between one and three power interruptions. The most common causes of outages were scheduled outages, followed by customer interruptions beyond the control of the distributor such as animals, vehicles, and dig-ins.

As you are aware, Hydro Ottawa is committed to providing reliable service and will continue to invest significant resources in infrastructure in South Nepean to stay ahead of the anticipated growth and to ensure that our high standards of service reliability are maintained.

ver the last six months, as public school teachers squared off against the government, something struck me about my fellow Canadians: We’ve become far too comfortable with the status quo.

As teachers conducted rotating strikes before the Christmas holidays, parents whined all over Facebook.

One father of a kindergartener said his child would be “traumatized” by the cancellation of her Christmas pageant.

Others questioned how they could work if their children had nowhere to go during the day, and demanded teaching be declared an essential service. The same people then turned around and accused teachers of being lazy, selfish and poor role models.

Frankly, the comments flying around social and mainstream media about teachers have been nothing short of abusive. We entrust teachers to educate and guard our children for more than 30 hours each week. On the one hand we put them on pedestals, expecting them to pick up the slack where we, as parents, fail. If kids are obese, we blame school cafeterias and curricula which demand children sit all day. If kids lack discipline, we blame teachers for not maintaining a tight ship. If kids are

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse getting bullied, it must be the teachers’ faults for not paying attention. We expect teachers to be dieticians, life coaches and psychologists, holding them responsible for keeping our kids fit, disciplined and socialized.

Yet when the teachers turn around and demand the right to negotiate a fair contract, we castigate them. Most of us felt quite comfortable lapping up the government propaganda that said teachers were demanding more money. But in case you missed the nuance, this dispute has never been about money. Teachers have not been looking for salary increases, shorter work days or more vacation time.

They simply want to maintain their right to negotiate a fair contract.

Imagine for a second your employer coming to you one day and saying, “Times are tough, so we’re asking you all to take a wage freeze – despite the 10 per cent inflation per year on basic goods – we’re taking away your sick days

– despite the fact you look after snot-nosed kids all day -- and if you don’t like it, too bad.” You wouldn’t put up at least a little bit of a fight?

To their credit, teachers, en masse, largely agreed to those concessions last spring.

But these things are never black and white. There are 114,000 full-time teachers in this province. They needed time to examine and negotiate the contract. They wanted to make sure, for example, that the very lowest-salaried people in the profession would be protected. But the government was determined to shove the contract down their throat.

And when some of the boards didn’t like it, the government created back-to-work legislation because, God forbid, Ontarians be inconvenienced by any kind of shake up of the status quo.

There is a recent and disturbing history in this country of shutting down job action before it has a chance to cause any inconvenience. Since 2010, we’ve seen federal

back-to-work legislation for CP Rail, Air Canada and Canada Post. As a result, we have seen insecure, minimum-wage jobs replace secure, salaried careers in these institutions.

In short, we have witnessed a rapid deterioration of our workforce.

There is a common belief out there that unions have run their course, that they have no place in our modern world.

How easily we forget contemporary history.

If you are legitimately employed in Ontario, you have a legislated 48-hour work-week, you are entitled to vacation pay, parental leave, Employment Insurance, disability insurance and a public pension. For all this, you can thank unions, who have fought for the last hundred years and continue to fight for the preservation of workers’ rights.

We are fortunate in this province that teaching is still considered by many educated and caring people to be a good profession. If we want to preserve the quality of our public education system by continuing to attract talented people, we need to ensure that teachers continue to be paid well and are dealt with fairly by the government. To accomplish this, however, may just mean accepting a temporary deterioration of our comfortable, middle-class lives.

Changing the way you think about storage...

YOU’VE PROBABLY SEEN THE NEW MEGA DYMON STORAGE FACILITY AT KANATA CENTRUM – IT’S JUST

THE LATEST IN A STRING OF FACILITIES THAT ARE POPPING UP ALL OVER TOWN. LOCALLY OWNED AND OPERATED, DYMON NOW HAS SEVEN INDUSTRY LEADING FACILITIES THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

M

any people are also taking notice of Dymon’s latest facility under construction on Carling at the Queensway. “We are really excited about our Carling site,” offers Steve Creighton, Senior Vice President with Dymon, “it is going to be our flagship facility with our head office located on the top floor. We have some new outstanding features that are going to make this our best facility yet.” Another Dymon facility is also being built at Greenbank at Hunt Club, with six more facilities planned for Ottawa.

R0011887354-0131

Stepping inside a Dymon facility, you will quickly realize that Dymon Storage is not your traditional type of storage business. “Before the arrival of Dymon, storage in Ottawa was really nothing more than single storey buildings with garage doors. These facilities were typically located in industrial parks or rural locations, that offered minimal security, no climate or humidity controls, and there was very little focus on customer service,” explains Steve Creighton.

“We recognized there was a demand for quality storage in Ottawa, but there was virtually nothing available”.

Dymon quickly recognized a business opportunity, but wanted to create a unique “made in Ottawa” solution. Before getting started back in 2006, Dymon did extensive research across the U.S. and Canada by visiting dozens of facilities, and quickly determined the attributes of the best performing facilities across North America. Taking these ideas and introducing a few unique offerings of its own, Dymon put together a “best of breed” business model. Arguably, right here in Ottawa Dymon has built the very best that self storage has to offer anywhere in the world.

12 Nepean-Barrhaven EMC - Thursday, February 7, 2013

“At the end of the day, your stuff is likely better off stored with Dymon than at your home or business” adds Creighton.

From the outside, Dymon’s facilities are architecturally attractive and don’t look anything like storage buildings. “We have moved self storage into the mainstream by locating our facilities in easy to access, highly visible sites, usually adjacent to big box retail” says Creighton, “and with our attractive exterior look we wanted the marketplace to understand that we represented a new and totally different storage solution”.

WHAT DOES “BEST OF BREED” MEAN? Dymon’s facilities have many distinctive features that differentiate them from anything else in the Ottawa marketplace. By integrating leading technologies, Dymon has created the safest and most convenient way to store your excess stuff.

Starting with its complete and total humidity and climate controlled environment, Dymon’s facilities ensure no mould, mildew or bugs. Its advanced security features ensure your possessions are safe – besides having extended retail hours, Dymon also has a 24/7 Customer Service Command Center which monitors all of its facilities with personnel who can respond to customer issues at anytime, day or night. Dymon’s unique drive through bays (which are like airport hangars) provide complete protection from the weather and allow you to load and unload your stuff in comfort. Dymon even offers a free truck and driver at the time of move-in for your added convenience, taking away the hassle of renting and driving a large truck. Dymon’s facilities have

luxury boardrooms, mini-offices, as well as a vault and mailbox service. And in a short period of time, Dymon has become a leading retailer of boxes and moving supplies – you should drop by the facilities just to see their unique box displays!

And the list goes on and on.

But perhaps Dymon’s biggest asset is its relentless focus on delivering an exceptional customer experience. “Our highly trained staff regularly go above and beyond to help our customers deal with the stress of moving and storage,” says Creighton. “And time and time again we receive compliments on how helpful and professional our staff are.”

With everything that Dymon has to offer, is it any wonder that Dymon Storage has taken the Ottawa market by storm? Dymon’s first facility on Coventry Road opened in 2006 and filled in

“and we continue to listen to our customers for new ideas on what they want to see from us”.

DymonBox.com is its latest environmentally focused business that offers customers the opportunity to rent or buy eco-friendly storage bins ideally suited for moving and storage. “This is an incredibly convenient service for our customers,” says Jonathon Dicker, Regional Manager at Dymon, “renting the eco-friendly storage bins is cheaper than buying traditional cardboard boxes and includes free delivery and pick-up.”

just 5 months, and has remained full ever since. Because , of high demand in the area, Dymons Coventry location is currently undergoing a 30,000 sq ft expansion Dymon’s Coventry facility was certainly no flashin-the-pan – Dymon’s second location at Prince of Wales and Hunt Club was filled in only 6 months.

Each subsequent facility has also experienced a rapid fill.

Dymon’s Kanata Centrum facility, adjacent to Canadian Tire, is the largest self storage facility in Canada. Residential and business customers in Kanata / Stittsville / West Carleton are now enjoying everything Dymon has to offer.

SO WHO IS YOUR TYPICAL DYMON CUSTOMER? The reasons why people need storage are endless.

For example, people selling their homes use Dymon. It has been proven that a decluttered, well staged home will sell more quickly and at a higher price. Dymon is also great if you are downsizing or if you simply have too much stuff and need to make room in your home.

Many customers also use Dymon to store their possessions while their homes are undergoing renovations, or to clear out their garage in the fall to make room for their cars.

Interestingly, the majority of Dymon’s customers are women. According to Creighton, “Women are the primary decision maker when it comes to storage, so we have taken particular care to

design our facilities to be attractive to the female consumer.” Dymon does this through its highly focused customer service, security, convenient access, and ultra clean facilities – all factors many women demand. “Women appreciate the quality that Dymon offers – they know their stuff will be safe and secure.”

Dymon’s storage facilities are also very attractive to business operators. With free on-site boardrooms, a parcel acceptance service, and flexible yet affordable storage leasing options, Dymon offers the perfect solution for a variety of businesses. “Currently about 25% of each facility is made up of commercial customers,” reports Creighton. “Dymon is perfect for business to store bankers’ boxes, excess merchandise, spare office furniture or work equipment, and seasonal inventory. We even have some business customers who use their storage unit as their own mini-warehouse instead of renting a larger building with much higher fixed overhead.” With the flexixility of month-to-month leases, business speakers see Dymon as great storage solutions.

Dymon is also preparing to launch a new convenient document storage, retrieval and shredding business ideally suited for all types of business. “These additional services represent another natural evolution of our business as we continue to serve our business customers better,” concludes Creighton.

Dymon even assists you if you want to sell any of your stuff. DymonMine.com offers its customers the chance to sell things in a totally secure and convenient fashion. Dymon will photograph, describe and upload items to its website where potential buyers can view them or they can drop down to the facility and have a look. And just recently DymonMine.com introduced its new offer/ counter offer system where buyers and sellers can negotiate by e-mail, totally anonymously. The new process is fun, simple, and effective. When items are sold, Dymon issues a cheque to the customer, “Many Dymon customers were saying they wanted to sell some of their excess stuff, but they were frustrated that there weren’t really many convenient sales options available to them,”explains Dicker “so we developed our on-line marketplace as a safe, con venient, hassle-free way for customers to sell and buy stuff.”

You should take the time to drop by one of Dymon’s convenient locations across the City – they really are unlike anything you have ever seen before. If you have too much stuff and need to declutter, and we all face that situation from time to time, Dymon should definitely be the place you end up.

Dymon is certainly not prepared to rest on its laurels “We are continually introducing new service s and products to improve what D y m o n h a s t o o f f e r, ” s a y s C r e i g h t o n

University launches first national Paratriathlon Academy Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

EMC news - Carleton University is poised to become a paratriathlete training ground following the Feb. 1 announcement of a joint pilot project with Triathlon Canada.

Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst National Paratriathlon Academy will offer aspiring athletes in the Ottawa-Gatineau region access to paratriathlon training and programs, as well as partnership opportunities with the university. The venture was an-

nounced by Minister of State (Sport) Bal Gosal at the Carleton University Fieldhouse.

Calling it a â&#x20AC;&#x153;fantastic initiative,â&#x20AC;? Gosal extended his appreciation to Triathlon Canada and Carleton for embarking on the new project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m convinced this innovative (partnership) will lead to the growth of paratriathlon and result in even more outstanding performances and medals for our paralympians, as we saw in London (last year),â&#x20AC;? said Gosal, crediting Canadian

Paralympic Committee executive director Francois Robert for â&#x20AC;&#x153;raising the bar every day.â&#x20AC;?

Triathlon Canada receives federal funding through Sport Canada and Own the Podium, as well as private funding through a number of organizations.

The paratriathlon is a new sport announced three years ago to debut at the 2016 Paralympic Games. Consisting of a 750-metre swim, 20-kilometre bike course and a ďŹ ve-kilometre run, paratriathletes compete

using racing wheelchairs and hand cycles, as well as sighted guides for those with visual impairments.

In anticipation of the 2016 Games, Triathlon Canada has grown its paratriathlon program to help athletes beneďŹ t from new opportunities. The National Paratriathlon Academy, which can be joined for a nominal fee by those ages 16 and up, will offer two on-site training camps each month, online webinars, and opportunities to access further ad-

vanced training. The goal is to form a nationwide network of academies through partnerships with post-secondary institutions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sport is growing at a rapid pace in Canada and around the world,â&#x20AC;? said Roseann Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Reilly Runte, president and vice-chancellor of Carleton University. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Triathlon Canada has been recruiting people to the sport and conducting training camps in advance of the World Championships over the last two years. The group has enhanced competition schedules in preparation for Rio. With more paratriathletes competing at the 2012 World Championships, the world is pushing the bar and Triathlon Canada will not stand still.â&#x20AC;?

Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Reilly Runte called it â&#x20AC;&#x153;ďŹ ttingâ&#x20AC;? for the academy to set up shop at Carleton, due to the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accessibility, including seven kilometers of heated underground tunnels.

Larry McMahon, operations director of Triathlon Canada, said his organization and the athletes it supports have â&#x20AC;&#x153;beneďŹ ted greatlyâ&#x20AC;? from its many partnerships, including one with Carleton, as their mission statements of inclusivity and accessibility overlap perfectly.

McMahon outlined the aims of the academy, only one of which was to garner more medals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If successful, this will ultimately lead to a talent pool

capable of achieving international podium results, such as the Paralympics, as well as promoting participation in sport, just for the love of it,â&#x20AC;? said McMahon.

The launch featured an inspirational speech from World Paratriathlon Champion Jennifer Hopkins, who achieved success in her sport despite battling multiple sclerosis and lupus, as well as a rare neurological disease. She began to train as a way of combating these afďŹ&#x201A;ictions, and soon grew to love it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always loved to run, but swimming and biking were never my ďŹ rst passions,â&#x20AC;? said Hopkins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Suddenly, when I began to swim, I found myself loving the three disciplines â&#x20AC;&#x201C; running, biking and swimming. Triathlon became my new passion.â&#x20AC;?

Hopkins participated in a triathlon in 2008, followed by an Ironman race in 2009 that she used as a platform for an MS fundraiser. That started her career in professional competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without training groups, clubs, programs training camps and even academies that let us join, you just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next world champion or paralympian will come from,â&#x20AC;? said Hopkins of the new project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about giving people regardless of their age, disability or background the opportunity to participate in sport.â&#x20AC;?

Mayor Jim Watson reviews information panels at city hall with Laurie McCannell of the Vars Community Association during the morning launch of the Liveable Ottawainitiative on Jan. 29.

Zoning certainty mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big promise as Liveable Ottawa launches EMC news - The city is asking for residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; help tackling 12 planning issues as it looks to build a â&#x20AC;&#x153;liveableâ&#x20AC;? city in the future.

The city launched its massive master planning review on Jan. 29 with two meetings at city hall that outlined challenges â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and ideas â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to create a Liveable Ottawa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Certaintyâ&#x20AC;? was the name of the game when it came to zoning, with both the mayor and planning committee chairman Coun. Peter Hume repeatedly insisting that the review will result in a zoning bylaw that matches and implements the policies outlined in the Official Plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Providing certainty for the community and the development industry is a theme youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard me talking about a lot in the past year,â&#x20AC;?

Hume said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our refreshed

Official Plan will be more prescriptive than ever before in terms of where the vision for height and density is in this city. â&#x20AC;Ś (Planning manager John) Moser and his staff are committed to bringing forward the necessary zoning bylaws in 2014 that will implement these height permissions such that there is absolute certainty for all and fewer disparities between the Official Plan and the zoning bylaw.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something community associations have been clamoring for. Essentially, it would mean that the rules for what can be built on parcels of land across the city and what sorts of uses those properties can feature would match the goals and larger vision for the city thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s set out in its Official Plan.

Right now, there is so much discrepancy between the ideals in the Official Plan and the actual rules governing the zon-

The 12 planning issues and themes the city is focusing on are: 1. Intensification and smart development 2. Urban land issues â&#x20AC;&#x201C; building in or building out 3. Protecting and preserving Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s countryside 4. Creating people-friendly environments through urban design 5. Transit-oriented development â&#x20AC;&#x201C; living and working near transit 6. Reviewing employment lands to protect and diversify the economy 7. Providing the infrastructure services needed for growth 8. Public transit 9. Complete streets â&#x20AC;&#x201C; making room for all transportation choices 10. Promoting healthy lifestyles through active transportation 11. Developing travel options to reduce car dependency 12. Affordability â&#x20AC;&#x201C; development within the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial means

The city has set up three Liveable Ottawa consultation groups to represent different interests. The members include: â&#x20AC;˘ Sponsors group: Councillors Jan Harder, Peter Hume, Scott Moffatt, Doug Thompson and Marianne Wilkinson â&#x20AC;˘ Development industry panel: Three members from the Building Owners and Managers Association (president Pierre Azizzi, executive director Dean Karakasis, Cal Kirkpatrick of Colonnade Developments) and three members from the Greater Ottawa Home Builders Association (executive director John Herbert, Jack Stirling of Minto Homes and Rob Pierce of Monarch Homes) â&#x20AC;˘ Community panel: Two representatives from the Federation of Community Associations (Gary Sealey of the Kanata-Beaverbrook Community Association and Sheila Perry of the Overbrook Community Association) and private citizens Richard Stead, Gord Mills and Terry Otto, who were nominated by councillors Harder and Thompson

ing that the leeway often leads to spot rezoning of properties that community members often feel arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in line with the goals the city has set out for itself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are getting better at smart growth and we are doing it together (with developers), but there is still more to do,â&#x20AC;? Watson said.

He said public interest and participation in the process is essential. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to ensure Ottawa remains a vibrant, dynamic and affordable city for years to come,â&#x20AC;? Watson said, adding that the review will help â&#x20AC;&#x153;unlock the potential of the city.â&#x20AC;?

Affordability will be a fundamental part of that, the mayor said. The city only has limited means to pay for new facilities that population

There, people can fill out an online survey and sign up for alerts about future public meetings.

Updating the entire suite of master plans in one go is a rare opportunity that will help the city ensure the plans all work together towards common goals, the mayor said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the first time in many years, the stars are aligned at the same time,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Some things you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see changed are policies for environmental protection, affordable housing or built heritage, Hume said. For the most part, those policies are working well so the city wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be touching them up.

The draft updates to the Official Plan should be publically available by June, and the draft master plans for transportation, cycling, pedestrians and infrastructure should be released by October.

Ottawa proposes ideas for building a sustainable city Maximum building heights, transitoriented development on cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agenda during review Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - The city is proposing 14 new policy ideas or changes to guide the discussion about creating a Liveable Ottawa for the Official Plan and master plan review.

Planning committee chairman Coun. Peter Hume, Mayor Jim Watson and several city planners fleshed out the ideas during two open-house launch events on Jan. 29. The full proposals and a survey can be found on ottawa.ca/liveableottawa, but here are some highlights: NEIGHBOURHOOD DESIGN

and Woodroffe avenues.

One of the questions the city is asking is whether it needs to create â&#x20AC;&#x153;design priority areasâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; areas where city staff and the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s urban design review panel should be paying extra attention to design.

The city wants to encourage pedestrian-friendly smallscale commerce in some areas by designating sections of streets as new main streets.

Parts of Walkley, Innes and Ogilvie roads and St. Laurent Boulevard are on the list for consideration.

Hume alluded to new policies that will guide whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s included in future community design plans, including building heights, to give â&#x20AC;&#x153;certaintyâ&#x20AC;?

to communities.

However, the picture for developers is less clear, Hume said. The city needs to clarify its expectations when it comes to planning policies, especially for areas that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have secondary or community design plans.

Michelle Taggart of Taggart Investments, a local developer, spoke at the morning open house on Jan. 29 to tell the city that building height limits are a mistake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It takes a lot of creativity and flexibility,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Without that flexibility, the city will get a lot of short, fat, ugly buildings that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t offer connections or pathways through blocks. Taggart said the city needs to look at a more

â&#x20AC;&#x153;design-centric certainty.â&#x20AC;?

Hume countered that opinion, saying the flexibility the development industry wants creates â&#x20AC;&#x153;massive conflictâ&#x20AC;? with communities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If there is a better way for us to avoid that, the development industry havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come forward with one,â&#x20AC;? he said.

SKYSCRAPERS

Forty storeys will be the new 20 storeys when it comes to the tall buildings of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future, Hume said, and the city needs to prepare for that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As our city approaches the one million population mark and Ottawa comes of age, the market and urban design R0011902318

R0011896550

The city is proposing to create a new generation of main streets, called â&#x20AC;&#x153;streets in transition.â&#x20AC;? Hume said it would cover streets that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite have the characteristics of a main street, but could still use a boost in density, height and the type of uses that are permitted along them. He suggested the city is looking at boosting heights to up to six storeys along transitional streets such as Baseline Road and Bronson, Fisher, Holland

Building on the momentum of the rising number of people using bicycles as a main mode of transportation is one aim of the transportation master plan overhaul the city is undertaking this year, along with other key plans.

are bringing a new type of built form,â&#x20AC;? Hume said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean that we want to have a city of skyscrapers, but we need to prepare the parameters of where we want this development.â&#x20AC;?

Buildings of 31 storeys or more would only be permitted in areas identified in the new Official Plan. Those locations would be based on proximity to transit, compatibility and design criteria.

Hume said buildings of 20 storeys or more would only be permitted on lands that were established in a community design plan or a transit-oriented development study.

Whether they are proposed to be 40 storeys or four storeys, building height is a major point of contention in communities. The city is hoping to put some of that strife to rest by setting a new maximum height of 10 to 19 storeys in areas designated as mixed-use centres and employment lands that are immediately beside rapid-transit stations (Transitway and light rail) and up to nine storeys elsewhere.

For the rest of the urban area, the city is proposing that height limits remain the status quo.

TRANSPORTATION

You will be compensated for your time.

The city will be reviewing the criteria it uses to decide when to widen roads, Hume said.

Transportation planner Colin Simpson expanded on that in the evening meeting.

With new government minimums, R50 (approx 18â&#x20AC;? of blown insulation) is now code. Most newer builds have between R34-R40, with some older homes having as little as R20 in the attic. Other beneďŹ ts to upgrading your attic insulation are creating greater home comfort and helping to raise the resale value of your home.

TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT

The city has already embarked on planning for intensified development around transit hubs, and that work will continue as part of the Official Plan update. Lees, Hurdman and Blair stations are next on the list for development studies.

But the future light-rail line isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only transit mode the city will focus on. Pinecrest, South Keys/Greenboro and the Riverside South community core will also be the focus of development studies with a view towards encouraging density.

of perhaps three hours. That subtle change would mean a reduction of about 15 per cent in road expansions or the construction of new roads, Simpson said.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a change aimed at saving money. Ottawa has a backlog of roads that are crumbling and need resurfacing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; about 25 per cent of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roads need to be paved.

Constricting how many roads are widened will lead to more traffic congestion, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not necessarily a bad thing depending on where it is, Simpson said. Traffic congestion is a motivator to get people out of private vehicles and onto the bus or a bike.

Cycling and waking were also emphasized in comments made by Simpson in the evening and Hume in the morning. Hume described a need to â&#x20AC;&#x153;build on the momentumâ&#x20AC;? of a 40 per cent increase in cycling trips over the past five years, as shown in the recently released origin-destination study. That will include mapping out key cross-town bikeway routes, Hume said, and adding new bicycling routes to large employment centres and institutions such as universities or hospitals that are outside the core.

A winter cycling network is also proposed. The city hopes to identify routes that would be well-maintained in the winter to encourage yearround cycling.

For pedestrians, there is a need to clarify when the city wants to include sidewalks on one or both sides of the street in suburban developments.

Improvements to winter maintenance standards for sidewalks were also suggested.

Hume also floated the idea of setting maximum intersection and road widths to â&#x20AC;&#x153;create less cavernous and more people-friendly intersections.â&#x20AC;?

Rookie councillor Egli to replace veteran Wilkinson on city transportation committee Power roles for elected officials shuffled during governance review Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC - Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli will become the second first-term councillor to lead a standing committee.

Egli is set to take the lead on transportation issues after Mayor Jim Watson indicated his preferences to shuffle councillors’ responsibilities in a Jan. 29 memo to council – the result of a mid-term governance review.

Egli will replace Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, who has served as transportation committee chairwoman for the first two years of council’s term.

“I think it’s a good fit at the end of the day for everybody,” Egli said.

Egli said it will be a big year for transportation issues because the city is updating its transportation master plan.

His view is that the city needs

COUN. KEITH EGLI

to accommodate the needs of all road users. While providing access to transit and cycling facilities is important, there will always be areas of the city where a private vehicle is required in order to get around, he said.

Egli likened the shuffle to a chess board. Since there is a need for Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches to take on a heavier workload as deputy mayor (and as a father to new twins), his position as chairman of the Ottawa Community Housing board was up

COUN. MARIANNE WILKINSON

for grabs. Watson suggested it might be a good fit for Wilkinson, who has worked extensively on community housing issues in the past.

That also freed up the transportation committee chair, giving another rookie councillor a chance to take on a leadership role.

“It’s a bit of succession planning for the next term of council,” Wilkinson said. “(The mayor) wanted an opportunity for the newer councillors to be more involved.”

The veteran councillor didn’t request to step down

from her role as transportation committee chairwoman, which has seen her become very active in transportation initiatives such as the recently completed Downtown Moves study. She agreed to vacate the position, but only if she could remain a member of the committee.

Her fellow Kanata councillor, Kanata South Coun.

Allan Hubley, will step into the role of vice chairman of the transportation committee, a position previously held by Orléans Coun. Bob Monette.

Monette will instead sit on

the finance and economic development committee.

Bay Coun. Mark Taylor was the only first-time councillor appointed as a committee chairman at the beginning of council’s term and he will continue as chairman of the community and protective services committee.

Egli will no longer sit on the environment committee, but he is adding the board of health to his roster. He and Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri will replace Barrhaven Coun.

Jan Harder and River Coun.

Maria McRae on that board.

Another first-term councillor, Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney was added to two committees: community and protective services (replacing Kitchissippi Coun.

Katherine Hobbs) and the planning committee (replacing Taylor).

Hobbs will move to the transit commission, where she will boost its urban representation; previously, the only non-suburban and non-rural councillor on the commission was Tierney.

The governance report also suggests the city should hire a temporary full-time worker to manage the schedules of the two deputy mayors: Desroches and West-Carleton Coun. Eli El-Chantiry.

The report also recommends a review or change to governance models for some of the arm’s-lengths bodies the city oversees, including the Cumberland Heritage Village Museum, the Nepean Museum and Fairfields historic site, the Ottawa Municipal Campground and Pine View Municipal Golf Course.

It also proposes increasing the salaries of councillors and the mayor, which have been frozen since 2010. The clerk’s office didn’t directly consult council members on the process because council members said they were uncomfortable with setting their own salaries, so the clerk’s office is recommending the same annual cost-ofliving adjustments that city managers receive.

Ottawa U students host their own conference Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - Students at the University of Ottawa are preparing to host their very first charity conference aimed at ending gender-based violence.

Girls Night 2013 will be held at the university from Feb. 8 to 9 and will welcome motivational speakers, performers, a free concert and fitness activities. The conference is a first of its kind and has been organized completely by the students.

Rona Ghanbari, vice president of the political, interna-

tional and development studies students’ association, said the idea for the conference was the work of Maddy Orr, a firstyear student, whose idea for hosting a girl’s night sleepover blossomed into the two-day conference. The event is looking to motivate and encourage the entire student body to start talking about violence against women.

“Gender-based violence is a huge issue and it’s often not talked about, especially among young girls,” Ghanbari said.

“Our main goal is to get people talking about the issue and understanding the issue, and

see how we can move forward from there.”

But even though the conference has been dubbed a “girls night” the conference is not just for girls.

“This is not a conference for women only. We want to get men involved as well. Despite the name Girls Night,” Ghanbari said. “We actually have included panels and workshops that apply to men as well. Women are not the only victims of violence and women are not the only people who can help eradicate it.”

The conference will begin with keynote speaker Aruna

Papp, a human rights advocate and social worker. Ghanbari said Papp will speak about the importance of education to break the cycle of violence and discussing themes from her book Unworthy Creature: A Punjabi Daughter’s Memoir of Honour, Shame and Love.

A free concert will start at 8:30 p.m. with local bands Motel Raphael and Eleven Past One performing.

“We made the concert free because we figured it would be a great way to open it up to all students and all of the community really,” Ghanbari said.

The bands and all of the

speakers participating in the conference have donated their time, the JunXion public house donated their facilities and the university has offered its own support, allowing the committee to book rooms for free and will cover the costs for the free concert. The workshops and panels range from topics such as advocating for equality, the role of the law in protecting women, violence against aboriginal women, the media’s take on violence and human trafficking in Canada.

PLAN Canada, the Ottawa Coalition to End Violence Against Women, Amnesty In-

ternational, the Ottawa police, the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples and University of Ottawa professors are all participating in the event. Yoga sessions, self defence classes and an organization fair will round out the conference’s events.

Registration for the conference is available online at www.pidssa.ca or on campus at the association’s office located at suite 2002 of the Faculty of Social Sciences Building.

Tickets are $20 for University of Ottawa students and $25 for any other members of the community.

Proceeds from the event will be donated to the Canadian Women’s Foundation. A full schedule is available on the association’s website at www.pidssa.ca.

5th Annual

Trooper to headline Canada Day in Kanata

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - Get ready to raise a little hell, Kanata.

Trooper will be here for a good time after being confirmed as the headlining act for the 2013 Canada Day in Kanata celebration.

It took “blood, sweat and tears” for the event committee to nail down the iconic Canadian band, said Diane McNulty, the director of programming.

“We were just lucky they were available,” she said.

“We’ve been trying to get them for a number of years.”

Those planning the July 1 festivities are excited to bring Trooper to Ottawa’s west end, including teenagers from the Kanata Haven Youth Centre, who volunteer for the event every year.

the Bright White Sports Car, Trooper is recognized across the generations, said McNulty.

“They are one of the great Canadian bands. They are part of Canadian culture,” she said.

“I think it’s going to be one heck of a party.”

CANADA DAY

Although still five months away, the committee is hard at work preparing for this year’s Canada Day in Kanata event.

“Once again we’ll be supporting local talent,” said McNulty.

A call for local youth bands to audition for a chance to open for Trooper on Canada Day will go out in February or March.

“The bands have never disappointed. They’ve always been top-notch,” she said.

“I’ve been around since the very beginning and to watch it grow and progress … I’m privileged and honoured to be a part of it.”

Last year, about 30,000 people attended the celebra-

tions with headliner Kim Mitchell, and McNulty said she’s expecting the same number of attendees for 2013, if not more.

“It’s become a tourist attraction,” she said, adding people from Detroit, Mich., Sudbury, Peterborough and North Bay, Ont., have attended, as well as people from across Ottawa.

“It’s a great community event that’s expanded across our boarders significantly. But I think we’ve kept that community feel,” she said.

The committee is kicking of its sponsorship drive and will be looking for volunteers to help run the event. For more information, visit canadadayinkanata.com.

“They all knew Trooper; they all knew the songs,” said McNulty. “The demographics, the spread of their appeal, it’s huge.

“I’ve seen them perform a few times and they put on a great show.”

In its ninth year being run by a committee of volunteers, Canada Day in Kanata has boasted some top Canadian talent. Now with Trooper – which includes band members Ra McGuire, Brian Smith, Gogo, Scott Brown and Clayton Hill – to round out almost a decade of entertainment is icing on the cake, said McNulty.

“It’s going to be a good year,” she said. “It also sets us up really well for our 10th anniversary.”

The Juno-award winning band first hit the Canadian music scene in 1975 and has released 10 studio albums, earning a number of gold and platinum awards.

With classic hit songs like Raise a Little Hell, We’re Here for a Good Time (Not a Long Time) and The Boys in

Pat Curran hockey tournament draws 50 teams Blair Edwards blair.edwards@metroland.com

EMC sports - The city’s recreational hockey players can spend Hockey Day in Canada weekend playing the sport they love at the Bell Sensplex on Feb. 8 to 10.

More than 900 players and 50 teams from across Ontario and Quebec are expected to participate in the 2013 Pat Curran Memorial Tournament, hosted by the Canadian Adult Recreational Hockey Association.

“We run it in conjunction

with Winterlude in the hopes that teams that are travelling into the city can participate in Winterlude activities,” said Lori Lopez, CARHA’s director of CARHA’s business operations.

The 25-year-old tournament has been held at the Sensplex since it opened in 2004, and is named after Curran, a former sportswriter with the Montreal Gazette who had helped the hockey association prepare articles for its quarterly publication the Hockey Post.

Adult male and female hockey players of all skills

and abilities will compete in the tournament, which has 19, 35-, 40-, 50- and 60-plus age divisions.

“It could be a team that’s just new to the sport or a team that has players who have played at the junior level. We seed them by age and caliber,” said Lopez, adding that the tournament was created to bring opportunities for adult recreational hockey in the Ottawa area.

Each team must pay a $900 registration fee, which guarantees three games and possibly a fourth if they make it to

the championship round.

Most valuable player awards are presented after every game and the finalists in the championship games of each division are presented with shirts marked with the CARHA logo.

The tournament will hold

an NHL Night on Feb. 9 at Stanley’s Bar and Grill in the Sensplex, with a silent auction and 50/50 draw to raise money for KidSport Ottawa, a charity that helps children from lowincome families participate in organized sports.

“The Bud Girls are going to

be there,” said Lopez, adding that Budweiser is one of the sponsors of this year’s tournament.

For more information about the tournament or to register visit the website carhahockey. ca/chpatcurran or call 613244-1989.

A local radio station is once again planting enough trees to remain Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst and only carbon neutral radio station.

Live 88.5 FM, an alternative rock station based in Ottawa, will plant 5,700 trees this spring in the township of Beckwith in partnership with the Rideau Valley Conservation Foundation.

For the past three years, the station has donated enough trees to absorb the carbon emissions from the ofďŹ ceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual energy consumption as well as travel and commuting for 35 staff members.

BETTER NEIGHBOURHOODS PILOT PROJECT I attended a Better Neighbourhoods program meeting on January 23rd.

Residents of Woodroffe North and Woodpark met to review feedback from the extensive community consultation and begin to form ideas for the projects they want to pursue which could include a community rink, a community garden, improvements to the Woodroffe Walk Garden and some beautiďŹ cation along Byron.

SATURDAY FEBRUARY 16 Bayshore Community Association is holding Winterfest. There will be face painting, tug of war, games and hockey on the community rink.

Activities start at 12:00pm and go until 3:00pm.

Dear Neighbours, In January I was out doing what I really enjoy, knocking on doors! The freezing rain didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deter my team and me from canvassing in Crystal Beach. We wished residents a Happy New Year and checked in to ask how our City is working and what issues are important to them. The extreme cold didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop us from knocking on doors in Woodroffe North either. In the coming months we are sure to be in your community as we continue to check-in with residents.

SATURDAY FEBRUARY 9: Neighbours in Crystal Beach will be celebrating winter in Lakeview Park on February 9th which coincides with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hockey Day in Ottawaâ&#x20AC;?. They are excited to highlight some of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other great winter sports at noon. The Glabar Park Community Alliance is also holding their Winter Fun Day on this day. Activities begin at noon in Kingsmere Park and run until 3pm. Residents are invited to come out and enjoy skating, games, marshmallow roasting and a BBQ. Lastly, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss out on Lincoln Heights-Parkway Winter Follies in the park behind Regina Street Public School from 1-3:30pm.

80-plus Hockey Hall of Fame to inducts largest group yet Popularity of oldtimers’ hockey shows passion for the puck never wanes

“I have good friends in StHubert, Que.,” said Marchand.

“They have 19 guys who are 80-plus and 16 of them want to come. It’s going to be the first game where all the players are over 80.”

The “boys” from St-Hubert will go up against 14 over80 players from the OttawaGatineau team.

The growing hall of fame list is proof of the widespread and lasting appeal associated with “Canada’s game.” Marchand, a Gatineau resident who first strapped on skates at age six in the Manitoba bush and still plays on three teams – including Les Boys 75+ - knows this well.

He has had hockey cards made up of all of the hall of famers, and hopes to have jerseys made for players participating in the 80-plus game – a game he wants to make an annual event.

Already Marchand has “sent out feelers” to Hockey Canada to see if they might be interested in lending support.

Maurice “Moe” Marchand is seen with the National Capital Region Hockey Hall of Fame 80+ plaque at the University of Ottawa Sports Complex. The venue will be the site of the third annual hall of fame induction ceremony on Feb. 24, honouring players and builders who have kept active in hockey after the age of 80.

On Feb. 24 at 2 p.m., the university’s sports complex at 801 King Edward Ave. will be the site of this year’s presentation ceremony, which is expected to attract Mayor Jim

Watson and Gatineau mayor Marc Bureau, not to mention a large number of players from the areas’ many old-timer leagues. The presentation will take place during the in-

termission of a friendly game between two teams of players aged 80 and up – the OttawaGatineau Oldtimers’ 80+ and Les Sages Rive Sud from StHubert, Que.

EMC sports - They might need a bigger plaque soon.

Currently the modest plaque hanging on a first-floor wall of the University of Ottawa Sports Complex honours the first two years of inductees into the National Capital Region Hockey Hall of Fame 80+, with only enough space to fit the large number of seniors expected to be inducted this year.

The popularity of old-timers hockey amongst the senior set – especially those above the age of 80 – surprised even longtime player and organizer Maurice “Moe” Marchand.

“When we started this in 2011 I never would have though we’d reach this number of guys,” said Marchand, stating there are nine hall of fame candidates this year.

Nominations for the hall of fame are considered by a large selection committee composed of hockey old-timers group representatives. Last year a builder’s category was added to include off-ice attributes like coaching, managerial skills, sportsmanship and general contribution to the sport.

Given the nature of the Feb. 24 game, he’s also sent inquiries to Guinness World Records.

Glen McStravick, a member of the selection committee and active old-timers’ player, said the appeal in staying on the ice is the same as for younger players.

“The main appeal would be staying active as seniors, but we’re not health nuts by any stretch of the imagination,” said McStravick, who plays for the Geriatric Senior Buzzards 70+. “There’s camaraderie, fights over what the score is and the quality of the game is pretty good. There are some good guys out there on the ice.”

Many teams, including his, allow for the inclusion of players younger than the age group if they have had a serious illness or major surgery, all a part of keeping people in the game.

“There’s more artificial hips out there than pucks,” joked McStravick, having had two hip replacements himself.

From there, Corkum has excelled in his field.

EMC news - A University of Ottawa professor has received one of the most prestigious international physics awards for his work involving light and matter.

Paul Corkum, a professor at the university, has been awarded the King Faisal International Prize for contributions to two categories: exceptionally serving Islam and Muslims and provinding research resulting in scientific advances. “(It’s) very exciting,” said Corkum, who is also Canada’s national research chair in attosecond photonics. “I didn’t know so much about it (the award) I knew I was nominated but thought there was zero chance to win.”

Corkum shares the prize with fellow collaborator Ferenc Krausz of Munich, Germany.

Over the course of 34 years, Corkum is only one of three Canadian scholars who have won the prize. Winners receive a commemorative gold medallion and a cash endowment of $200,000.

On the foundation’s website it says many winners have gone on to win Nobel prizes for the same works that were recognized by King Faisal International Prize.

Corkum’s research has been recognized for shortening the duration of light pulses produced by lasers and he became the first scientist to successfully produce a 650 attosecond pulse very short flashes of light - which capture or stop atoms, molecules and other tiny particles in time so they can be observed.

“One attosecond is incredibly short. If you compared it to one second it’s like one second compared to the age of the universe,” Corkum said.

But the professor isn’t ready to rest on his laurels -- a scientist is never done researching

University of Ottawa professor and National Research Council scientist Paul Corkum has won the King Faisal International Prize for science for his development of attoseccond imaging. and testing theories.

“As you accomplish something, you get more dreams, and you don’t quite know how it will work out because no one has been there before but that’s what’s fun about it, no one has done it before,” Corkum said. “I can’t think of anything more exciting than something that no one has ever done before and I get to try it.”

A scientist for over 30 years, Corkum said it’s a passion unlike any other.

“Doing science is the intellectual equivalent as someone might think skiing as fast as you can down a ski hill would be; its fun and exhilarating for the brain,” he said.

The Rothwell Heights resident credits his love for physics to his former high school

The King Faisal award comes with a trip to Saudi Arabia, which Corkum admits he is very excited about.

“I’ve never been there; it’s going to be tremendously interesting,” he said.

The university congratulated Corkum on his most recent accomplishment. “(Corkum’s) commitment to research and creativity are inspiring to the whole community and we are proud that such an eminent scientist calls the University of Ottawa home,” said Mona Nemer, vice-president, research.

Ottawa legend honoured Ottawa philanthropist Dave Smith celebrated his 80th birthday by having a street named in his honour. The moniker will appear on a yet-to-be built crescent in Riverside South as part of the city’s commemorative naming program. Born and raised in Ottawa, Smith first made his mark on the city by opening the iconic Nate’s Deli on Rideau Street in 1960.

But it is his fundraising efforts that Ottawans know him for; Smith has helped to raise an estimated $100 million for local causes, including creating and supporting the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre for substance abuse. Smith is also involved in a fundraising campaign called Boomer’s Legacy that supports Afghan women and children. “His generosity knows no ends,” Watson said, calling Smith’s contributions “legendary.”

PET OF THE WEEK

Blacky is a 6 year old spayed female, black and tricolor Siberian Husky and Border Collie mix. She was brought to the shelter as a stray on January 4, but is now ready for adoption! Don’t let Blacky’s graying face fool you, she is no couch potato and would need daily walks to stay fit and healthy. She’s looking for a forever family that would let her play with her toys, but teach her about sharing!

For more information about these or other animals available for adoption, please call the Adoption Centre at 613-725-3166 ext. 258 or visit www.ottawahumane.ca.

Don’t Litter: Spay or Neuter Your Pets February is national prevent a litter month. Are your pets spayed or neutered?

A large portion of animals brought to the Ottawa Humane Society (OHS) are litters of kittens and puppies from unplanned pregnancies. Every year thousands of animals across Canada must be euthanized because they are unhealthy and unwanted, born into poor conditions and not cared for properly.

As an open admission shelter, the OHS takes in all animals, regardless of their health or behaviour. But it comes at a cost – daily care, vaccinations, routine deworming and defleaing, and spay and neuter procedures for the litters adds up to thousands of dollars.

Be a responsible pet owner and spay and neuter your pets.

Having your dog or cat spayed or neutered is not only an essential component of responsible pet ownership, but also an important civic duty as a responsible citizen. Contact your veterinarian or the Ottawa Spay and Neuter Clinic, a subsidized clinic run by the City of Ottawa, at 613-798-8970.

R0011902603

The OHS is doing its part by ensuring that cats and dogs adopted from the shelter are spayed and neutered. Please note that the Ottawa Humane Society does not offer spaying or neutering services to the public.

Spaying or neutering your pet has a variety of benefits, including: s 2EDUCING THE TENDENCY IN MALE CATS AND DOGS TO ROAM s %LIMINATING INCONVENIENCE OF THE HEAT CYCLE IN FEMALE DOGS and cats s 0ROVIDING BETTER HEALTH IN MALE AND FEMALE DOGS AND CATS s %LIMINATING SPRAYING IN MOST MALE CATS s &ACILITATING TRAINING s 1UALIFYING YOUR PET FOR A REDUCED MUNICIPAL LICENSE FEE IN Ottawa The OHS receives no government funding or funding from any animal welfare group and relies on donations to care for the communities unwanted, neglected, and abandoned animals.

Miko is a neutered male, black Domestic Shorthair cat who is 7 years old. He was brought to the shelter as a stray but is now available for adoption. He is looking for a quiet family, and would do best in a home that has stability and a regular and predictable routine. While in our care, Miko has experienced recurrent soft stools/ diarrhea. We have treated him for the most common intestinal parasites but you will need to discuss his condition with your veterinarian to develop the best treatment plan for him going forward.

“The Rotary Club of South Nepean was certainly handing out the cash at their breakfast meeting on January 31, 2013. Almost $20,000 was given to local charities; including $3,000 to the Queensway Carleton Hospital (accepted by QCH Foundation President Judith Scott); $3,000 to Mary Honeywell Public School for their new playground structure (accepted by council president Helen Crawford); $3,000 to Longfields Davidson Heights High School for their library (accepted by teacher Cathy Belanger); $3,000 to the Maplesoft Centre for cancer patients (accepted by Tara Beechey); $1,000 to the Barrhaven Food Cupboard and $3,000 to Rotary Youth Leadership Awards [was there more] These funds were raised primarily from two key events put on by this Rotary Club. The first was the Taste of Barrhaven (Event Chair Rob Scaife). The other event was the Fall into Fashion (Event Co-Chairs Jill Sheppard and Sylvie DesHaies).

Club President Major-General Christine Whitecross stated on behalf of the club how much it meant to club members to be able to raise and redistribute these funds within the community. The Rotary Club of South Nepean meets each Thursday morning at 7AM at the Court of Barrhaven, 1111 Longfields Drive at Strandherd.

They are welcoming new members.”

Third annual art sale shows city has heart Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - Residents of Ottawa showed they have heart by turning out at an annual fundraiser in Barrhaven on Feb. 3.

February is heart and stroke month in Canada and organizer Sylvia SummersMartyn thought it would be a great opportunity to raise funds and awareness for the Ottawa Heart Institute with an art sale.

One of the Barrhaven legion’s own member’s life was saved because the Fallowfield Road club had a defibrillator, something Summers-Martyn said helped to formulate the idea for the event.

The Art for the Heart fundraiser outgrew the legion this year and moved to the Cedarhill Golf and Country Club

this year to accommodate the more than 20 artists who exhibited their work and came out in support of the worthy cause.

Amie Talbot, a resident of the Kanata neighbourhood of Morgan’s Grant, said she was impressed with the traffic and the space.

“There have been people here all day,” she said. “And it’s a beautiful space with a lot of light.”

Talbot, who was approached by Summers-Martyn to join the show because of her unique work with coloured pencils, said she was happy to donate a percentage of her commissions to the Heart Institute.

“I think it’s a really neat idea and a great cause,” she said.

Aside from the artists, residents were able to get infor-

Sue Perley-Robertson, an

artist who hails from Stittsville, said she was happy to get a chance to see the work of so many other artists in the community.

Perley-Robertson, also a

first-time artist at the show, said she would definitely return next year.

Summers-Martyn said she gets on the phone almost as soon as the event is done to

build up the list of exhibitors for the following year, but her work is getting easier.

“It’s starting to become an event that people are putting into their calendar,” she said.

Ahh, the smells of winter MARY COOK T he Northcote School smelled differently in the winter time than it did in the

summer.

That may have a lot to do with the fact Miss Crosby opened the windows in the warm weather. But I thought back then it had more to do with the piles of gum rubbers, wet socks, the wood stove and bagged lunches on the table at the back of the room.

All the girls at the Northcote School wore galoshes.

Some had rabbit fur down their fronts, and then some of us just had galoshes that laced up tight around our ankles. It was a sign of wealth if your galoshes had fur on them. Sadly, I never owned such a pair.

The boys wore either gum rubbers or rubber boots. The gum rubbers and boots had a thick layer of red around the soles.

Most of them were bought at Briscoe’s General Store, where they hung from the ceiling. Mr. Briscoe used a long pole with a hook on it to retrieve them. I could never

Mary Cook’s Memories fathom how he knew what size he was bringing down, but he never seemed to make a mistake.

After running around the school yard before Miss Crosby rang either the morning or recess bell, there wasn’t one of us whose feet weren’t soaked to the skin.

That meant that as soon as we got into the school room, we pulled off our outer foot wear and gum rubbers, galoshes and rubber boots, which were then all laid out around the pot-bellied stove where blocks of wood had been placed to lean the footwear against.

It didn’t take long with the fire roaring in the stove for the whole lot of galoshes and boots to smell to high heaven.

The girls put on felt slippers, hand-made of course, and the boys just walked around in their socks, which soon smelled as bad as the boots.

We girls wouldn’t dream of wearing the same stockings to school two days in a row, but from the smell of the boys’ feet, my older sister Audrey said she doubted their socks had been changed for over a week. And that included my three brothers, who Mother thought were old enough to look after their own feet.

Only a few of the pupils had tin lunch boxes. My little friend Joyce had one with a bright red painted lid, and a hook inside that anchored the little thermos bottle. Of course, Joyce’s family were

very rich, I thought. Didn’t they live in a brick house and have a flush toilet? So she could afford a bright tin lunch box.

However, most of us took our lunch in brown paper bags, saved after making purchases at Briscoe’s General

Store. These bags once held tea, sugar, or rolled oats and were never thrown out. We had a rack in our kitchen that had a spring lever attached to it, and all the bags were neatly folded and kept on this rack which hung by the wood box. Most were just the right size for a school lunch.

There was a crudely built table at the back of the school room where all the lunches were kept. All the bags

looked the same and it always amazed me how I never once knew any of us to get our lunches mixed up.

It was an unwritten law never to bring a sandwich with onions on it. It wouldn’t take long for the smell to fill the small one-room school house and drown out the stench of the footwear around the stove, which in retrospect See WET MITTS, page 37

Monies raised have contributed to the purchase of much needed equipment for the hospital and for the development of the Farm Boy Fun Park, an outdoor play area for children and their families to use during their stay at the hospital.

This year, Farm Boy has pledged all fundraising proceeds to the CHEO Centre for Healthy Active Living to help kids at risk of weight related health complications and their families achieve a healthier, active lifestyle. Given the fresh food retailers focus on wholesome fresh foods, it’s a natural fit.

To kick off this year’s fundraising efforts, Farm Boy presented CHEO with a cheque for $50,000 to be used

Farm Boy customers can purchase this year’s $10 coupon book and enjoy over $100 in savings while helping the CHEO cause. The local fresh food retailer is hoping that this year’s new and improved book filled with tantalizing recipes and coupons redeemable on many popular Farm Boy products will be a sell-out.

FOOD

Oven-braised beef will Wet mitts a memorable smell warm a chilly winter day Continued from page 35

INGREDIENTS

• 50 ml (1/4 cup) olive oil • 1 onion, thickly sliced • 1.5 kg (3 lb) lean beef short ribs • 2 large cloves garlic • 50 ml (1/4 cup) all-purpose flour • 5 ml (1 tsp) paprika • 5 ml (1 tsp) dried thyme • Salt and pepper • 796 ml (28 oz/) can of diced tomatoes, undrained • 5 carrots, cut in bite-size pieces • 1 bay leaf • 25 ml (2 tbsp) chopped fresh parsley

PREPARATION:

In large skillet, heat 15 ml (1 tbsp) of the oil over medium heat; cook onion for 5 minutes.

With slotted spoon, remove to Dutch oven or flameproof casserole.

Meanwhile, cut ribs into pieces and trim off excess fat.

Cut 1 garlic clove in half; rub cut side all over ribs. In bowl or plastic bag, combine flour, paprika, half of the thyme, 5 ml (1 tsp) salt and 2 ml (1/2 tsp) pepper; add ribs and toss to coat.

Add ribs to skillet to brown in batches, adding more oil as needed and removing browned ribs to Dutch oven.

Sprinkle any flour left in bowl into skillet; cook for 1 minute, stirring. Stir in tomatoes; bring to boil, scraping up any bits from bottom of pan.

Add to Dutch oven. Mince both cloves of garlic; stir into Dutch oven along with carrots,

bay leaf and remaining thyme.

Cover tightly and bring to boil.

Transfer to 140 C (275 F) oven for 4 hours, stirring occasionally. Discard bay leaf. Taste and add more seasoning if needed. Sprinkle with parsley.

SLOW-COOKER

Slice onion thinly and coarsely dice carrots. In sieve over bowl, drain liquid from tomatoes and use for another purpose. Cook onions and brown ribs as directed, transferring both to slow-cooker.

Stir in carrots, bay leaf, remaining thyme and garlic.

With drained tomatoes, make sauce in skillet as directed and pour over mixture in slow-cooker; stir to combine well. Cover and cook without stirring, on low for 10 to 12 hours or on high for five to six hours or until ribs are tender.

Discard bay leaf. Garnish as directed.

o’clock, the familiar smell of school books, chalk and erasers was long lost. The room reeked of dried out footwear, wet mitts and socks.

When the last of us left the school, Miss Crosby could be seen swinging the storm and inner doors open wide and putting a block of wood against them to hold them open to complete air out the place so that by the time we next came to the Northcote School, the only smell would be from the freshly-started wood fire raging in the old stove in the centre of the room.

But like the day before, it wouldn’t take long for the smells of winter to take over.

might not have been such a bad idea.

It didn’t take long to figure out what a lot of the pupils had brought to eat. Head cheese was a staple in the Depression years. Well seasoned with summer savoury and sliced thin, it often filled sandwiches back then. I hated head cheese with a passion.

My distaste was right up there with my hatred for blood pudding. It had more to do with watching Mother make both on the kitchen table than the taste of it that turned my stomach.

My very favourite sandwich was one made with

bologna. Favourite, but rare. The few slices Mother bought on rare occasions, to me, was the ultimate school lunch. I loved bologna with a passion. There were always home-made cookies, fruit was unheard of. We toted milk in glass jars.

It wasn’t hard to tell who had what for their lunch. You could smell the headcheese and the maple cookies long before the paper bags were opened. Miss Crosby bent the rules at lunch time, allowing us to sit where we wanted, while she still kept an eagle eye on all of us from her desk at the front of the room.

Go nuts for February’s pie of the month - a twist on the classic Southern favourite, pecan pie. Made with real ingredients like brown sugar, farm fresh eggs and the finest buttery pecans, we add generous handfuls of rich, creamy chocolate chips and drizzle it with chocolate for good measure. Only here for February, pick up one today, because once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Barrhaven, ON —Jeff Darwin, Vice President for Scotiabank’s Ottawa River District, was at Ross’ Independent Grocer on Friday morning where he presented a cheque to the Barrhaven Food Cupboard in honour of a recent food drive by Pierre Poilievre, MP for Nepean-Carleton.

“Social responsibility is an important aspect of our mission at Scotiabank and it is important for us to help wherever we can in the communities we serve,” said Darwin. “I am excited today to present a $5000 donation to the Barrhaven Food Cupboard, an important local support agency for people in Barrhaven.” Darwin explained that he was inspired by Mr. Poilievre, who recently collected 600 pounds of food for the Osgoode Food Bank at a local event.

“Many people in our community are not aware that even in a prosperous community such as Barrhaven, there are families among us who need help to put food on their table,” said Ken Lee, the Coordinator of Community Food Drives and a dispatcher of the Barrhaven Food Cupboard. “Scotiabank has supported the Barrhaven Food Cupboard in our regular food assistance as well as our Christmas hamper programs for many years. We are extremely grateful to them for this latest donation to help those who need it most in our community. To paraphrase the tag-line in Scotiabank’s advertisements: with involvement such as theirs, our community is indeed richer than we think!”

“Scotiabank has demonstrated their dedication to communities in my riding and beyond. I was thrilled to hear of this recent contribution,” said Poilievre. “The Barrhaven Food Cupboard does so much good for this community and I know that this donation will go a long way to helping our friends and neighbours.”

Bust a Move changes celebrity Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

ing controversial statements about possible links between infant vaccines and autism.

She also claims to have healed her son from the disorder.

The foundation announced it was replacing McCarthy as guest speaker on Feb. 1, Ottawa Cancer Foundation president Linda Eagen said the controversy surrounding the celebrity was drawing attention away from breast cancer awareness and fundraising. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did get questions from

dent of the foundation,â&#x20AC;? Eagen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As always, our objective and responsibility is to the cancer survivors in our community and keeping the spotlight on our cause.â&#x20AC;?

Collaborating with the St. Laurent Centre, the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation will host a one-day ďŹ tness event called Bust a Move at the Ottawa Athletic Club. In 2012, the foundation raised $350,000 for the cause.

There are six different ďŹ tness sessions at the fundraising event including zumba and yoga, a great Canadian â&#x20AC;&#x153;kitchen party,â&#x20AC;? boxing and ur-

ban dance.

Rachkowski has promised the event is aimed at getting people moving.

Each participant must raise a minimum of $1,000 to attend and the day is geared to be fun for all ďŹ tness levels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know that this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event will continue our tradition of fundraising successes that will help thousands of local cancer patients and their families.â&#x20AC;? Eagan said in a press release. For more information about the event, visit ottawacancer.ca or contact the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation at 613-247-3527.

EMC news - Celebrity guest Jenny McCarthy has been booted from this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ottawa Cancer Foundation Bust a Move event.

The foundation launched Bust a Move, an event to raise money and awareness for breast cancer on Jan. 29 with the naming of McCarthy as the fundraiserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ tness ambassador.

Bust a Move chairwoman, Bernice Rachkowski said the comedienne was originally chosen because of her fun attitude. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted someone who would get involved and have fun,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This event is about everyone coming out and having fun.â&#x20AC;?

A Hollywood celebrity and author, McCarthy is wellknown for writing and speaking out about her ideas concerning healthy living, including mak-

a number of different sources, not just in Ottawa, she (McCarthy) has a strong focus on ďŹ tness, but she also has strong opinions in other areas, all the attention was going towards her opinions rather than the focus on the fundraiser and the ďŹ tness event,â&#x20AC;? Eagen said.

In McCarthyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s place, Canadian ďŹ tness coach Tommy Europe will be leading the fundraising event on March 2. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are proud to work very closely with our partners in the medical community and the general public to raise funds and awareness for cancer care in our community, said presi-
