Charity struggling to survive in Nepean ‘We won’t sink’ : President of Ottawa Neighbourhood Services Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Patricia Lemieux, president of Ottawa Neighbourhood Services, is still holding out hope for a miracle, despite the eviction notice that sits on the door of the organization’s Rideau Heights Drive building.

The Nepean-based charity has been operating in the capital for more than 80 years. But declining revenues and a run of bad luck have left them owing their landlord $20,000 in back rent for the property on Rideau Heights Drive.

Thrift store has helped many people and organizations Continued from page 1

Patricia Lemieux, president of Ottawa Neighbourhood Services, along with longtime volunteer Maria Hawkins are pictured in front of a borrowed Hertz truck that they are using to loaded up the thrift store’s three tonnes of stock before May 10, the deadline for the eviction notice.

KITCHENS BATHROOMS

President Patricia Lemieux said that ONS has faced some hard times, starting with a bankruptcy in 1999 that forced them from the building they owned on Wellington Street.

The organization moved to City Centre Avenue in 2007 and stayed until 2012, when two fires that may have been intentionally set forced them to relocate.

Lemieux said staff fought with the insurance company over the value of the stock they lost until they received $15,000 in a small claims court settlement in 2015. A few months later, they received another $8,000, but it all went to pay back rent to their then landlord.

Their new home costs $9,500 per month, Lemieux said, and it’s tough to keep up with costs.

To top it, off the building is old and it’s not near any public transportation, which limits the foot traffic to the thrift store.

Lemieux said staff lobbied the city to get a bus stop near the store, but didn’t get much traction.

donation boxes that have cropped up all over the city have hit them hard. She said they are responsible for a nearly 70 per cent revenue loss.

College Ward Coun. Rick Chiarelli has been working on a bylaw to deal with the problem. Chiarelli announced in January that he put a map of the clothing boxes that are actually affiliated with charities on his website, and encouraged residents to research where their donations were going.

CLOTHING DONATION BOXES

Chiarelli said that private organizations come to a property – like the parking lot of a fast food restaurant – set up a box in the middle of the night, and then sell the clothes for profit.

“There was supposed to be a review of the bylaw last summer, but it was deferred until 2017,” Lemieux said. “We will be gone by then.”

The charity owed $45,000 in back rent last summer, Lemieux said, which was paid by a donor. She’s even paid some expenses herself, and her father paid April’s rent.

But they’re running out of options.

Lemieux said they’ve appealed to the city and the Community Foundation of Ottawa for a grant, but they were denied.

Lemieux said she was told there are other organizations better suited to do the work ONS does.

But the thrift store’s stock has found its way to dozens of organizations, including the Ottawa Mission, City of Ottawa placement services, Ottawa Housing Corporation, Hampers for Syria, St. Vincent de Paul, Vanier Community Service Centre, Refugee613, the Ottawa Hospital and the Ottawa fire department – to name a few.

Lemieux said the organization also employs people who really need the work. And while they only make minimum wage, they are loyal to the store.

Staff are still hopeful they can work with Chiarelli and the city to find a temporary home. In the meantime, they are reaching out to the community and asking for storage space or a warehouse.

Long-time volunteer Maria Hawkins said there’s roughly 2,700 kilograms of stock.

Lemieux said they will likely need four trailers to store it.

Philanthropist Dave Smith sits on the board, and Lemieux hopes to get advice from him.

Volunteers will host a sale to raise funds at the 10 Rideau Heights Dr. on May 6 and 7, starting at 10 a.m.

Coalition asks transit commission to approve low-income pass Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Spreading Good Vibes

L A N S D O W N E PA R K

J U N E 4, 2 0 1 6 cityofom.com

Lisa Quesnel, a single mother of three, said she sometimes has to miss work because she can’t afford to buy a bus pass until her next paycheque.

She said that when her kids were younger, she’d sometimes walk 35 minutes to pick them up to save money on bus fare. Quesnel added that it can be a selfperpetuating cycle, because she would miss work because she couldn’t afford a bus pass and then she’d have less money on her next cheque.

And there was nowhere to turn. Even though she was receiving top-up from Ontario Works, as long as she was working it was her responsibility to get a bus pass, she said.

Quesnel’s story isn’t unique. A city staff report on a low-income bus pass suggests there are about 8,800

transit users who don’t qualify for the discounted community pass or seniors pass.

A full price adult bus pass is $103.75 per month; a lot of money if you make minimum wage and only get 25 to 30 hours of work per week, like Quesnel.

The city’s transit commission will vote on two options on May 9, one that would offer a low-income bus pass at the same rate as that of a student. It’s roughly a 24 per cent price break on an adult pass and would cost the city $1.4 million, according to the report.

The other option would be to be to offer a 62 per cent price break. That would bring the price down to $58.

It would cost $3.3 million, according to the report.

More than 40 social service agencies, including the Healthy Transportation Coalition and Making Voices Count, have expressed support for the initiative.

“It’s a step in the right direction,â€? said Trevor HachĂŠ, from the Healthy Transportation Coalition.

HachÊ said if the city wants to encourage the public to use transit – as it suggests in the 2013 transportation master plan – they have to work on making access equitable.

While there’s still a lot of work to be done – namely eliminating the top-up for users who have a community pass and ride Para Transpo, HachÊ said it’s a good start.

Commission chair Coun.

Stephen Blais said during the commission’s budget meeting that eliminating the top-up is a priority.

HachÊ said the coalition has put together a petition, which had 2,200 signatures in the week before commission’s meeting.

The petition can be found at http://healthytransportationcoalition.nationbuilder. com/transit_pass_petition.

More sex assault charges for Nepean teacher Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com

Police have laid additional charges against Naoum Abi-Samra, a Gatineau man accused of sexually assaulting students at Pierre-Savard high school in Nepean, after several more students claimed that Abi-Samra assaulted them.

Abi-Samra was originally charged with one count each of sexual assault and sexual interference on April 19 following an investigation launched by police in March.

Police alleged that more than one incident of sexual assault took place between January and April, 2016, after they received a complaint that Abi-Samra, 57, had made sexual comments and inappropriately touched a female student at the French Catholic school.

“The complaint came in at the start of March,” said police spokesman Const.

Chuck Benoit.

“And the investigation pursued and found evidence throughout the semester of 2016.”

On April 29, police announced that two more Pierre-Savard students had made complaints against Abi-Samra, who now faces two additional counts each of sexual assault and sexual interference.

The new charges allege that victims were assaulted by the former math teacher between September 2013 and January 2014,

and between January and March 2016.

Abi-Samra – a math teacher – has taught at the school since 2012, although he was suspended after the school board received the first sexual assault complaint implicating him on March 11.

From 2005 to 2011, he worked at Collège Catholique Franco-Ouest high school, but the school board said in a news release that while parents of students at that school had been informed of the charges against Abi-Samra, no students there have come forward with any information in relation to the case.

Police spokesman Const. Marc Soucy said that the school board has been co-operative throughout the investigation.

“They are co-operating and we have no issues,” Soucy said. “They’re doing everything they can to work with us on this.”

Céline Bourbonnais, director of communications for the school board, said that while the board already had counselling resources in place at the school to help students cope with the news, an Ottawa Police Service school resource officer has had to talk to several students after they spoke out against the allegations.

“After the charges were first laid on April 19, some students were having a hard time dealing with the situation and being very vocal about their opinions on the matter in a way that was not always respectful to all students at the school,” Bourbonnais said

Finance and economic committee approves tweaks to light rail plan Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Some tweaks to the second stage of the city’s light rail plan will hopefully smooth out concerns over the 1.2-kilometre western leg of the route from Dominion to Cleary Station.

Instead of tunnelling under the First Unitarian Congregation of Ottawa, which the church members spent nearly a year fighting against, the new plan would run through a strip mall at 747 Richmond Rd. But now the property owners and the neighbours are being the squeaky wheels, citing concerns about noise and vibrations during construction.

Randy Gordon, who spoke on behalf of the residents at 727 Richmond Rd., said that it’s been hard to determine what’s happening.

Gordon said he’d like res-

idents to be part of a working group on the project.

The rationale for the change is that the new station would front on to Richmond Road, which would make it more accessible and visible for cyclists and pedestrians.

Chris Swail, the project manager of the second phase of the LRT, said measures will be in place to ensure the neighbours won’t hear the day-to-day operations of the train.

Charles Davies, president of the building at 75 Cleary Avenue, asked the city to examine options for track separation to keep it as far from the building as possible.

He also said he wanted the best vibration technologies in use near the building.

Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli said the project will have the highest standard everywhere on the route.

CHANGES TO THE EAST

Staff proposed changes to the route around Blair Road that would save the city between $4 and $5 million. The proposal includes a new LRT track that would run in tandem with the future Cumberland Transitway, rather than three tunnels below Blair and two Highway 174 ramps.

Changes to Montreal station could save $12 million, staff said in the report to committee, by shifting the track to the median, rather than a raised track over Montreal Road and Highway 174. The station would be just above Montreal Road.

Council will vote on the proposed changes on May 11. If approved construction would start in 2018.

Bay Coun. Mark Taylor encouraged the public to come to a June 4 consult on Richmond Road complete street connectivity study.

Living in the moment

W

hat day is it?” asked Winnie the Pooh.

“It’s today,” squeaked Piglet. “My favorite day,” said Pooh (A.A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh. ) When it comes to living in the moment, which is apparently the secret to happiness, I’m crap at it. I nostalgically live in the past one moment, and worrying look to the future the next.

Most mornings when I wake, I remember all the things I failed to accomplish yesterday toward next week’s goal. My husband frequently bemoans the fact that I’m already planning the next family meal, just as he’s “sitting down to enjoy this one.”

According to ancient Chinese philosopher Lao-Tzu, “If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present.”

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse My loyal readers know I can’t meditate. But I have discovered a way to be more present. It comes in the form of my three-year-old daughter.

She wakes up nearly every morning with the same, happy call: “I’m awake!”

With those two words, she’s simultaneously announcing her presence to us and welcoming the day, fresh and new. She’s not lamenting unfinished business from yesterday, nor fretting over what’s to come. So present is she that “last year” and

“yesterday” mean the same thing to her – her brain has matured just enough to let her know those words mean “already happened, so let’s move onto the now.”

If someone mentions an upcoming trip, she says, “Well, we’re not doing that today” and she moves the conversation forward. Once we were discussing a possible trip to visit family. She overheard, packed a suitcase full of doll clothes and announced, “I’m ready!”

When we noted that it was a trip in the future, she turned

to her brothers and said grumpily, “We’re not going to Scotland today; we’re just having dinner.”

The future made her unhappy. But the present keeps her pretty mellow.

A single walk down the block with this kid requires a 30-minute round trip, and not because she’s shuffling her feet. She wants to touch every plant, say hello to every neighbour. Trick or treating on Halloween required gargantuan effort on my part to pry her away from the neighbours’ doors: “I like your costume,” she’d say.

“And, by the way, how is your mother?”

Earlier this month, she paused to admire the field of blooming, yellow dandelions beside the rundown corner store. “Aren’t the flowers beautiful, Mommy?”

And she picks them, slowly and carefully, observing the bee on one, an ant on another.

And unlike me, the one who’s planning my next supper while eating this one (probably too quickly), my daughter has taken to saying

grace and pausing before she eats.

Her prayer usually goes like this: “Dear God. Thank you for the nice food. Thank you for the nice family. Please help us not to cry or fight and to sleep well. Amen. Let’s eat!”

Oh, the simplicity.

Of course, all this drives her brothers nuts. My sons, in all their preteen glory, no longer share the ability to “just be” like they used to.

I wonder when they lost it.

When did mornings become grumpy? When did a stroll in

the park halt to satisfy their senses? I feel nostalgic for a time when they didn’t have bad memories from yesterday or worries about tomorrow.

But perhaps they should simply spend more time with their little sister. When I’m with my three-year-old, life inevitably slows down. I put away my phone, my thoughts, shut time out from my brain, and I find that I can, in fact, exist in the present. And it is truly a wonderful feeling.

It’s probably as close to happiness – or as Lao-Tzu said “peace” – as one can get.

Open your wallet: photo radar is coming

W

ho would argue about the safety of kids? It’s a no-brainer, and no one would dare.

Bravo to those who want to introduce the money machine known as photo radar to the streets of Ottawa.

By cracking open the door to photo radar by using the old standby – we must do it to save the kids – the City of Ottawa’s transportation committee has tapped the gas and surged toward green-lighting photo radar as a traffic enforcement tool.

On May 4, the committee recommended council ask the province for permission to use photo radar. At this point photo radar in Ottawa is being called a “pilot project� and would only be used in school zones.

And any revenue generated would be dedicated to a “road safety� fund. The issue was slated to go to council on May 11. “I believe this is a solid way forward for those who are hesitant about a wide-scale rollout of photo radar on streets where it may not be warranted,� Mayor Jim Watson wrote in a memo in support of taking this route. “Or for those who are concerned with the

tool being used as a limitless, revenue-generating measure.�

Those hesitant, concerned people once seemed to include Watson. But the safety of kids is the issue now, not an enforcement tool that does absolutely nothing to stop a speeding driver from motoring along on their merry way. Photo radar is a “the bill is in the mail� traffic enforcement option.

The city still needs the province’s approval to move forward with its photo radar scheme, but it does have local MPP Yasir Naqvi, a provincial cabinet minister, in its corner.

Yes, the former Mike Harris government did cancel photo radar use in the past, but that was a rare instance of government giving up a revenue stream.

And yes, if photo radar returns, keeping it to school zones would seem the least objectionable way to go.

The question is do you really trust a government to get its hands on a revenue tool, and stick to the narrow application of that tool?

History suggests the answer to that is a lot different than what we are hearing from city hall these days.

A tip of the hat to servers

E

very once in a while a major restaurant in Canada or the U.S. announces that it is abolishing tipping.

There inevitably follows a widespread discussion in the news media in which various people weigh in on the evils of tipping and why it should be abolished.

No one has made a convincing case yet.

Among the arguments you hear are these: • Tipping doesn’t happen in other jobs. • Tipping doesn’t happen in many foreign countries. • Tipping the server is unfair to other restaurant employees, such as cooks, who work hard but don’t receive tips. • The tips don’t reach the server anyway, but are scattered about to cover other restaurant

The valid reason to abolish tipping will come when servers are paid a decent wage and don’t need to rely on tips to bring their incomes to a livable level.

Hardly anyone would argue that we are there yet. Wages are low, held down, in some cases by the existence of tips. But it does not logically follow that abolishing tipping would cause wages to go up, does it?

And while it is certainly true in some cases that the entirety of a tip does not reach the person for which it was intended, it is next to impossible to rectify that situation. Just think what it would take to enforce that.

While some look wistfully to other countries, such as in Europe, that do not have tipping, they should look carefully too.

ropean model, we have to adopt the entire European model, which means higher wages.

Higher wages for servers probably means, and should mean, higher wages for other restaurant employees.

In turn, these mean higher prices on the menu. Will the people who want to abolish tipping eagerly accept that?

It would be good if they did.

Having to rely on tips is not a pleasant situation for people in the serving professions.

But having to get by without them is even less pleasant, unless their job pays them more money.

It is not a dilemma that is easily resolved. A drastic change in attitudes on the part of owners is called for.

Maybe it will come. There are signs that it will. But it won’t happen tomorrow.

Province pumps $2.2 million into Ottawa events and festivals Twenty-five different festivals and events are getting a boost this year from the provincial government, totalling almost $2.2 million.

The money is coming from the Celebrate Ontario 2016 program. The region’s recipients with the largest take are Chamberfest ($227,584), 2016 CityFolk ($296,662), TD Ottawa Jazz Festival ($287,407) and RBC Royal Bank Bluesfest ($315,100). Those four events combined receive about half of Ottawa’s haul.

This year a total of $15.3 million is being handed out to Ontario festivals and events through Celebrate Ontario funding. The goal of the fund, according to a press release, is to support festivals that attract tourists, stimulate local

economies and create jobs.

“This investment in Ottawa’s festivals and events by the Province of Ontario through Celebrate Ontario fuels a boost to our economy that supports thousands of jobs,” said Sean Wilson, president of Ottawa Festivals in a press release.

“Ottawa is known for the diverse, vibrant festivals and events that animate our neighbourhoods and showcase our community to the world. They create unique, fun moments that enhance visitor experiences and drive tourism.”

Some other recipients include: • Glowfair Festival Ontario, $46,050 • Ottawa International

Writers Festival, $56,864 • 2017 Cracking-up the Capital Comedy Festival, $54,856 • Canadian Tulip Festival, $146,600 • Summer Solstice Aboriginal Festival, $22,500 • Ottawa Capital Pride Festival, $22,500 • Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival, $96,650 • “The World in One City” Muslim Summer Festival, $18,000 • Festival Franco-Ontarien, $90,000 • The Capital Fair Pow Wow, $5,050

The Process The project followed the requirements for a Schedule “C” project under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, as amended in 2007), which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. An Environmental Study Report (ESR) has been prepared and documents the project rationale, the evaluation of design alternatives, the recommended plan, anticipated impacts and associated mitigation measures.

The ESR will be available for a 30-day public review period from May 5, 2016 until June 6, 2016 at the following locations during their regular business hours:

The Ottawa Senators will join a league of teams with downtown arenas, after the National Capital Commission announced the team owner’s proposal is first choice for a new LeBreton Flats development.

The plan – called RendezVous LeBreton – could begin construction on the 22-hectare site in three to five years, although Senators owner Eugene Melnyk would like to move sooner than that.

the city, and it’s going to be a huge, huge win all around.”

Melnyk wouldn’t say what will happen to the Sens current home in Kanata, but said the move will help attract spectators and players.

He wants to make LeBreton a national attraction.

“This is the nation’s capital. Let’s face it you know you’re up against London, Tokyo … this is our capital and it’s got to look like one,” he said. “It deserves more attention.”

One of the features highlighted by the five-member evaluation committee was RendezVous’ decision to cover the future LRT tracks.

The proposal also includes multimedia installations, exterior holograms, commercial spaces, an affordable housing component and five distinct neighbourhoods. Proponents estimate the anchors – the event centre, sportsplex and abilities centre – would attract more than five million visitors annually.

Daniel Peritz, senior vicepresident with Candarel, said his group will take some time before deciding whether to continue with the NCC’s process in the hopes talks break down with RendezVous.

“We respect their decision, but obviously it’s not something we are thrilled about.

I think we need some time to reflect and react to what’s happened,” Peritz said of the group’s position moving forward.

“I think our plan was solid.

There are so many elements that go into the decision by the NCC and we have to live with their decision and move forward.”

But just because the pitch came out on top doesn’t make it a sure thing. Both proposals passed the test of the NCC’s evaluation committee.

The NCC will enter into negotiations with RendezVous LeBreton, but if negotiations fall through, they can go back to the second choice – Devcore Canderel DLS Group.

Stephen Willis, NCC executive director of Capital Planning, said RendezVous’ plan to cover the LRT was “bold and pivotal to the strategy.”

The fact that there will be two stations on the site was significant for RendezVous.

“The LRT is critical to this.

It’s a genius idea that they’ve done the two stations there and that will make all the difference,” Melnyk said.

During a press conference following the announcement, NCC chief executive Mark Kristmanson listed some of the reasons RendezVous came out on top.

“The RendezVous bid had an approach to the site that integrated the north and south sectors very well by choosing to cover over the light rail corridor,” Kristmanson said.

“It was one of the major design challenges to integrate the site and in the end the RendezVous LeBreton group handled that design

Come and see what we’re all about!

Both proposals passed NCC’s test Continued from page 11

The board was invited to a special technical briefing and tour of the site on Tuesday to learn the results of the process, but wasn’t able to discuss the result until Thursday.

At the board meeting, Willis said both proposals were “intricate, detailed, complex and of high quality” and both had benefits and weaknesses. The evaluation committee found DCDLS’ decision to cluster anchor tenants away from mixed-use community spaces was a missed opportunity and a single parking entrance could create problems at events.

Willis said the committee feared the separation would mean there wouldn’t be enough people to animate the site.

According to a report, the committee noted the proposal would have been stronger with a better commitment to sustainability and determined the “financial terms proposed would need to be addressed in negotiations.”

The NCC wants to see more information from RendezVous LeBreton on the market viability of the sportsplex and ability centre and noted phase three of the plan was not as well conceived.

The evaluation committee found the amount of proposed retail development was high and residential

rates were “optimistic.” The proposal would also “have benefited from greater detail regarding the deliverables included in each phase.”

The NCC will now enter into negotiations with RendezVous LeBreton, which will include the price of the land, remediation, phasing and connectivity. The NCC is planning aboriginal consultations through next year, federal approvals and the announcement of the successful proponent by 2018.

NCC and municipal approvals, including zoning, official plan amendments and a plan of subdivision could be in place by 2019. A report on the progress will come back to the board this November.

Willis said it could be between three and five years before construction begins on the site.

“This will take more time than we originally said. A community like this isn’t built overnight,” Willis said.

But Melnyk is saying it won’t take that long, as long as the parties are on the same side.

“You’ll see it quick; I can’t wait to build that stadium,” he said. “A lot of these projects you have to be very patient with and you don’t want to rush certain parts of it, especially the upfront negotiations.

“If everyone agrees on the process I think it can move quicker.”

Through the negotiations, Kristmanson hopes the

NCC can work with RendezVous LeBreton on both fitting the plans with the exisiting community and giving it national status.

“I think this proposal, through negotiations, can be pushed both ways – to raise its national importance and to make it a better local, connected part of the urban fabric,” he said.

The public appeared divided on the issue.

The city engaged in two consultations at the Canadian War Museum. More than 2,000 people attended the sessions with an extra 1,000 participating through a webcast. In total, almost 8,000 Canadians submitted comments about the two proposals in January and February of this year.

Through the consultation, some participants felt there was too much focus on the arena as the RendezVous development’s focal point and the site should attract more than just hockey fans.

Along with being the NCC’s preferred proponent, the bid was also the mayor’s favourite.

“I felt that this one was stronger, more realistic, more diverse,” said Mayor Jim Watson.

“While the Senators are the ones chosen to negotiate, if those negotiations fail we do have a realistic alternative backup plan so we aren’t in a situation two years from now with no plan and no activity on the site.”

City may ask province to let civilians direct traffic Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

City council may be asking the province to make changes to the Highway Traffic Act to allow civilians to direct traffic during special events or construction.

Police board chair Eli ElChantiry put forward a notice of motion at the April 27 meeting. El-Chantiry said even though construction companies pay the policing budget, the cost is built into the bid for the project.

He estimates the city pays

between $600,000 and $700,000 per year on costs related to having officers direct traffic during construction or special events such as the Santa Claus parade.

Mayor Jim Watson said that with scarce dollars and little wiggle room when it comes to negotiating police officer salaries, municipalities are going to have to get creative.

“When I see an officer with a gun in full uniform that makes an average salary of $100,000 out manning a barricade on Bank Street during the Santa Claus parade, I think, that’s not a good use of a professional,

trained police officer,” Watson said.

El-Chantiry said that special constables or bylaw officers could be responsible for directing traffic during special events.

He said with the city beginning construction on the first phase of light rail, now is the time to think about this issue.Watson said the city needs to look at options.

“We could do better with auxiliary police, with special constables, and save a lot of money and at the same time allow our police officers to do real policing work and not really

acting as barricade monitors,” Watson said.

While the city is attempting to cut costs, El-Chantiry said part of the motivation is to get officers on the streets, doing what they’re trained for.

El-Chantiry said Toronto is also considering petitioning the province. Watson said he was also going to bring the issue up with Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi. He said in addition to the city, community groups that host events requiring traffic control would also benefit from lower costs by hiring civilians to do traffic control.

Olympic hopefuls to ride in Ottawa dressage fest Councillor Competition to include Comments high-calibre national and international riders Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com

SUBMITTED/MERRY CARDINAL

Evi Strasser and her horse Renaissance Tyme took the first place prize in the 2015 Ottawa Dressage Festival’s Grand Prix freestyle class. This year, several of Canada’s top riders will compete at the festival for spots in the 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil.

Since this year’s festival is the second-last – and the largest – Olympic qualifying competition in eastern Ontario, Teeple said that its grand prix event will likely decide which two Canadian riders will go to the Olympics. “The Canadian (riders) are all bunched up at the top,� he said. “The top six are so close in scores that it’s going to be decided probably at this show.�

Teeple said that even if the deciding test takes place at the June 17 festival in Cedar Valley, Ont. it’s very likely that the riders who represent Canada in Brazil will have

competed in Ottawa’s festival. “Somebody at this show is going to the Olympics,� he said, listing Olympic veterans Belinda Trussell, Jacqueline Brooks, Brittany Fraser and Ashley Holzer, and 2015 Pan Am athletes Chris Von Martels and Megan Lane as the riders to watch.

With dressage events spread out over four days, festival organizers also plan to entertain crowds with dog agility demonstrations and equestrian equipment and apparel vendors.

According to Teeple, the festival’s team of 60 Ottawaarea volunteers are the key to

It takes place on a longweekend, it promises horses and dogs, it’s free to attend.

And this year, the Ottawa Dressage Festival will feature some of Canada’s top dressage riders as they compete to represent Canada at the 2016 Olympic Games.

Dressage is an equestrian sport that puts horses and riders through their paces as they perform a series of dance-like movements testing the rider’s control of the horse before a panel of judges. It became an Olympic sport in 1912.

This year, the annual festival’s judges will come from across Canada, Great Britain and Germany to judge riders from Canada, the United States and Central America at Wesley Clover Parks – formerly the national capital equestrian park – on Corkstown Road from May 19 to 22. “The whole show atmosphere I find really exciting,� said long-time organizer Paul Teeple. “And it’s even more exciting this year when all those people are here.�

As well as a chance to earn qualifying scores for the Summer Games, competitors can potentially qualify for other international and national dressage championships. In total, 150 riders are expected to compete over four days.

Teeple has managed the show since National Capital Dressage was founded in 2003 to organize it, although he said high-level dressage competitions have been synonymous with the Nepean venue for decades. “There’s been that level of show there, either a high level national one or an international one, for at least 25 years,� he said. “A long time.�

On average, Teeple said, the festival attracts between 300 and 500 people per day, though some individual events, like the May 19 Grand Prix Olympic qualifier, can attract those numbers alone.

helping it all run smoothly, and retired RCMP superintendent George Kaine is at the head of that team.

Having learned horseback riding as part of his basic training, Kaine, 73, credits his love of riding, his interest in volunteer work, and his friendship with Teeple for drawing him to National Capital Dressage in 2003.

He has been a volunteer ever since. “Paul and I are friends and we ride together and I just sort of fell into it,â€? said Kaine, who lives in OrlĂŠans. “I enjoy volunteering, so this was another volunteer activity. It’s only once a year and I like horses and enjoy seeing the performances.â€?

Kaine manages volunteers of diverse ages and backgrounds who, among other things, provide stable security for international horses, record judges’ observations about riders, and run results from the ring to the show office where they are read by an announcer. “They come from all walks of life,� Kaine said. “There are kids from high school that need volunteer hours, we’ve got professional people who work full-time jobs who just take time off from work to come help us, and we’re very grateful for their assistance in coming out.�

By Jan Harder

Hi folks. One of the big challenges we face, when interacting with the public, is at what stage to seek public input. When deciding to hold a public consultation, how much development and information is enough, not enough, or too much to be presented?

A few recent examples have made me sit back and wonder about this; how can we get the most public participation, without making residents feel excluded from the process?

This is a complicated question, with complicated answers. They are complicated because there is no one set way to deal with this balancing act and, in fact, you can sometimes hit some goals while still not fulfilling others. Two consultations that have happened in the last six months or so come to mind that really show the difference.

The first consultation I want to talk about occurred on one evening of a series of consultations. It was very well attended, with somewhere around 200 residents coming out to voice their opinions, provide input and ask questions. There was intense discussion about how staff arrived at certain conclusions, and numerous ideas were provided to staff on where residents saw there could be improvement in the plans.

The other example had some similarities; it was one night in a series of consultations, and held in the same location. That is where the similarities ended. At this consultation, there were perhaps 20 attendees.

While there were discussions on likes, dislikes, and preferences, they tended to be very general and high level, or highly specific and difficult to expand beyond a few cases.

By the sounds of the two descriptions, the first one seems to be a resounding success, right? We encouraged incredible public participation and input in the process. We received numerous great ideas and were able to hear, respond to and work to address the community’s concerns. This is the sort of consultation we want, isn’t it? And the second one sounds like it was ineffective and didn’t learn much.

We did not have many attendees, and this resulted in far fewer ideas and discussions. It was a little unfocused and did not reach many people. This is the type of consultation we want to avoid, right?

The first consultation was the Water, Wastewater, Storm water Rate Structure consultation meeting at the Nepean Sportsplex. Staff had provided 3 alternatives for the public to review, comment, and provide input on. The residents felt like they were not involved in the development of the program and that Staff was trying to fast track an idea past them. But it brought out 200 residents to talk about it.

The other consultation was for the 2016 City Budget.

The consultation was left fairly open-ended with the question, “Where do you want your money spent� being the main direction. Staff was looking to include residents in the development of the budget document before a draft was completed for Council. However without some direction, there was not a lot of interest.

And this is the struggle we have every time we look to engage the public. We want public engagement in the development of these policies and procedures, because they are intended for the residents of the City, everyone should be able to voice their concerns and thoughts on the matter at hand. But the only time we get interest is when we develop ideas and present them to residents for comment.

As always, I welcome your feedback. Contact me at jan.harder@ottawa.ca or 613-580-2473, and visit my webpage at www.janharder.com.

Students ask MPP about safe injection sites, hydro Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi made a stop at St. Pius X High School on Fisher Avenue last week to talk about his government’s plan for affordable post secondary education.

In his talk to Grade 10 civics students, Naqvi said helping create affordable post secondary education helps the economy and ends the cycle of poverty.

“The biggest barrier, we feel, is what we call sticker shock,” Naqvi said, of when students start to investigate the cost of college and university and decide it’s too expensive.

Announced in this year’s provincial budget, the Liberals pledged to create the Ontario Student Grant starting in 2017-18 school year.

Naqvi said the goal is to provide free tuition to lowand middle-income students.

The majority of eligible students in households earning less than $83,000 would receive enough in provincial grants to fully cover their tuition costs.

“You all should be able to do whatever you want to do,” Naqvi said, adding students should focus on their grades instead of making sure they can afford education.

“I had OSAP; I took 10 years to pay it off,” he said.

The students listened during the explanation of the plan, but when it came to

the time to ask questions, they didn’t want to know more about free tuition, they wanted to know about Naqvi’s position on safe injection sites.

The Sandy Hill Community Resource Centre’s addictions treatment program is applying to Health Canada to offer a safe injection site at 221 Nelson St. One of the program’s aims is to prevent the spread of HIV and

I would not mind having one next to my house; I would want to make sure people do get the care they need.

OTTAWA CENTRE MPP YASIR NAQVI

hepatitis C. “How would you feel about having a safe injection site right beside your house?” asked one student.

Naqvi explained the benefits of safe injections sites, alongside treatment, education, prevention and harm reduction components.

“They won’t be dealing with a dealer, or in a dark alley, they will be talking to a nurse … and hopefully get them to a place where they don’t want to use drugs anymore,” Naqvi said of safe injection sites.

“I would not mind having one next to my house;

I would want to make sure people do get the care they need.”

Students also asked questions about workplace safety and hydro rates before coming back to the topic again, asking about how the government would get people to use the sites.

“The potential of getting even some people coming in and doing it in a way that is less harmful to others and engaging with health care practitioners; that’s the real benefit,” he said.

“If you help one person at a time to shift the focus to their health ... that’s the success of the program.”

The shift in topic wasn’t a surprise for the Ottawa Centre MPP. With college and university decisions still years away for the students, the focus on drugs and safe injections sites made sense, he said.

“They’re young. I think there are a lot of pressures …

Drug use, or lack of use or not to use is a big, big topic.”

What’s most important, he added, is that safe injection sites are discussed as part of a system, not as the solution.

“This conversation that is happening with safe injection sites – which again the decision is up to the federal government – has to be in response to that context as well and other services that are available.”

Turnbull School celebrates $1 million fundraising milestone Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com

Nepean’s Turnbull School turns 25 next year, but this year the school is celebrating a much bigger number, with a far reaching impact.

After 19 years of fundraising, the private elementary school reached – and passed – the $1 million mark during its fall 2015 United Way campaign.

“I think we were about $15,000 short heading into our United Way campaign,” said school director Gareth Reid. “So we knew we’d break through the million some time in the fall.”

Turnbull School staff and parents marked the milestone with an event on April 16 at Koyman Galleries, joined by representatives

from several charitable organizations as well as River Ward Coun. Riley Brockington and Turnbull School founder Mary Ann Turnbull.

Directing most of its fundraising energy toward United Way Ottawa, the Ottawa Hospital Foundation and Help Lesotho – a charitable organization working to mitigate the effects of HIV-AIDS in the southern African country Lesotho – the school hosts three major fundraising campaigns each year.

“All of those charities certainly mean a lot to us and to the Ottawa community,” Reid said. “Especially the United Way and the hospital.”

Reid estimates that, since 1996, the school has

Notice of Intention to Designate

Description of Property Kilmorie, 21 Withrow Avenue is a one-and-one-half-storey stone house constructed between 1840 and 1850 in City View in former Nepean Township.

Cultural Heritage Value Kilmorie has cultural heritage value for its association with the early settlement of Nepean Township and with Confederation Poet William Wilfred Campbell and for its design value as an example of a 19th century vernacular stone house.

Kilmorie’s historical value lies in its association with the early development of City View in former Nepean Township. Constructed at some point between 1840 and 1850 as a farmhouse for William Scott, who emigrated from Ireland to Upper Canada in 1819 as part of a wave of Irish Protestants who settled in Nepean Township in the 19th century, Kilmorie serves as a reminder of the area’s agricultural history. Kilmorie is also associated with William Wilfred Campbell, one of the Confederation Poets, a group of poets born in the 1860s who became popular in Canada at the end of the 19th century. Campbell purchased Kilmorie in 1914 and lived there until his death in 1918.

Kilmorie has design value as an example of the vernacular stone buildings constructed in the classical tradition in the Ottawa area in the early-to-mid 19th century. Exemplifying its type, Kilmorie is constructed of limestone, has a gable roof with returned eaves and symmetrical facades.

The front facade is highlighted by a tripartite window with decorative fanlight in the central gable.

OBJECTIONS Any person wishing to object to this designation may do so by letter, outlining the reasons for the vobjection and any other relevant information. This letter must be received by the Clerk of the City of Ottawa either by registered mail or personally delivered within 30 days of the publication of this notice. When a notice of objection has been received, the Council of the City of Ottawa will refer the matter to the Conservation Review Board for a hearing and a report.

campaign for United Way Ottawa in 1996 as a way to return the community support she received while establishing the school in the early 1990s.

In 1998 the school began fundraising for the Ottawa Hospital Foundation, and in 2005 it became involved with Help Lesotho.

But Reid believes there’s also a benefit for the students involved in Turnbull School’s fundraising activities.

“It’s really a way to give back and to help our students learn about giving and caring within our community, near and far, and that fundraising can be fun,” he said. “So the kids do have a blast with it and they’re very enthusiastic philanthropists.”

A portion of each uniform purchase for students at the private school also goes toward Help Lesotho.

The remainder of the $1 million raised has come from other, less regular fundraising campaigns.

“We’ve also done some other giving over the years but we really try to focus on three, because there are so many other wonderful causes and many individual families are connected to something else,” Reid said.

“If we open it up too wide, then you’re kind of just open too wide.”

By attending this meeting, residents will find out more about the Class Environmental Assessment (EA) process and updated serviceability for the Leitrim Development Area.

In 2012, as per Official Plan Amendment Number 76 (OPA 76), the City of Ottawa increased its urban envelope and part of that expansion occurred in the Leitrim Development Area (LDA). OPA 76 Areas 8a, 9a and 9b (87.2 hectares) were added to the LDA as per Planning Committee Report Number 33 (dated June 27, 2012).

The servicing of the OPA 76 lands is subject to the process. The Updated Serviceability Report is prepared following the integration with the Planning Act provision of the Class EA process recognizing that integrating approvals under the EA Act and the Planning Act would meet the intent of the Class EA. To fulfill the requirements of the Planning Act provision of the Class EA process, the upcoming open house will address: •

• •

The addition of the 87.2 hectares of developable area to the analysis contained in the 2007 Final Serviceability Report, including a review of the impacts of the OPA 76 expansion lands on existing water, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment requirements to service the expansion lands Recommendations on the overall LDA infrastructure system, including upgrades required to meet the City of Ottawa’s level of service requirements for build-out of future development within the LDA

By participating at this meeting, you can discuss the project with the study team and provide feedback.

Information on the Updated Serviceability Report for the LDA is available on ottawa.ca/publicconsultations.

Residents are encouraged to provide comments throughout the EA process. All comments received will be collected under the Environmental Assessment Act and, with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record.

Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accommodation, please email joseph.zagorski@ottawa.ca no later than May 20.

400 singing voices join for 12th annual Music Monday Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

About 400 voices filled the Woodroffe High School gymnasium for Music Monday, on May 2.

The event was held for the first time in Ottawa West and about 70 per cent of the students had never participated before.

“We are incredibly thrilled to be bringing Music Monday to Ottawa’s west end,” said Genevieve Cimon, director of music education and community engagement for the National Arts Centre.

This is the 12th year the National Arts Centre joined with the Coalition for Music Education along with other community members in the region and across the country to highlight the importance of learning music.

“They’ve never participated in this. It is so exciting for us to be working with these schools.”

The massed choir included students from D. Roy Kennedy Public School, Dr. F.J. McDonald Catholic School, Charlotte-Lemieux French public elementary school, Séraphin-Marion French public elementary school, OmerDeslauriers French public secondary school, Henry Larsen

Public School, Regina Street Public School, St. Rose of Lima Catholic School and Woodroffe High School.

Cimon said many of the schools they work with have no formal music program, so bringing Music Monday to them is an opportunity for students to gain valuable skills and confidence in a new way.

“We talk about how important sports is for building leadership and teamwork and healthy living and we would argue that music education is just as important – that music is a universal language. It is the best way of integrating kids from all over in Ottawa’s west end,” she said.

“What better way for them to share a beautiful moment than through music and through song or through playing an instrument.”

And since some schools don’t have music programs, it helps students who may not be athletically or academically inclined try a new niche.

“It’s really fun to see young people suddenly thrive and shine and wake up in class.

We’ve heard that many times from teachers,” she said.

Conductor of the mass choir, Jackie Hawley, who visits all of the schools to host workshops before the event and

support teachers in preparing students, sees that sparkle in her students’ eyes first hand.

“The best part of doing this is making sure that we have all our kids in schools singing and going into the schools and seeing kids singing is beautiful.

Everyone is smiling everyone is happy it doesn’t cost anything to sing. This is why we need this in our schools,” said Hawley.

The choir sang Will You Listen by Shireen Abu-Khadr and Lori Dolloff, a bilingual arrangement of the Music Monday anthem We are One by Connor Ross, as well as Laura Hawley’s Live Love Share.

According to a press release, Music Monday was also a component of a new six-week pilot project with the National Arts Centre, the city and the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa and schools in the Foster Farm, Michele Heights, Bayshore and Brittania neighbourhoods.

Jennifer Baca, director of advancement for the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa said the NAC hosted a workshop with the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa, and it also donated a pack of tickets for a future performance.

“As far as music goes, it’s always the first thing that

Music Monday is dedicated to raising awareness for music and music education. goes out of schools, so it’s really important and we are really grateful the NAC does see those gaps and tries to fill the need in the community,” said Baca.

“So we are very excited to have the workshop here and to have our kids be able to participate in that and work with musicians and have that one on one.”

And there’s an added benefit to providing free tickets to the kids at the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa, she said.

“A lot of our kids would never be able to afford a ticket to go or would never have the opportunity to go to the National Arts Centre. By them providing us with free tickets, it allows them the opportunity to do that.”

PUBLIC MEETINGS All public meetings will be held at Ottawa City Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue West, unless otherwise noted.

City’s planning facelift for Byward Market Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The city’s finance and economic development committee approved a plan to spend $1 million on a facelift for the ByWard Market.

It’s part of a larger overhaul planned for the area, which will include a change of governance and a pedestrian plaza on George Street.

The staff report presented to the committee suggests a look at the establishments that make up the market.

It calls the city markets, where vendors sell produce and other handmade good, overly “bureaucratic” and suggests the Municipal Services Corporation would oversee the revitalization.

The changes would also include clearing the space in front of the city-owned Byward Market building for benches and other seating, which will cause some rejigging of the existing stands.

Jasna Jennings, executive director of the Byward Mar-

ket Business Improvement Area said the organization is excited for a revitalization of the area, but wants to see more collaboration.

“The investment in the public realm and the governance structure are good,” she said.

But Jennings said the original intent of the study was an overall zoning review and the focus shifted to improvement of a city-owned asset.

She said the members of the BIA want to see meaningful and transparent pub-

lic consultation and would like to participate in the renewal as members of a working group.

“The change represents great opportunities if it’s done well, but could have tremendous consequences if done poorly,” she said.

Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper the point of the MSC is to get away from “micro management” by politicians.

Peter Hupe, who runs a stand at the entrance on George Street, says he’s worried about his booth being moved, as a shift in location

could spell disaster for his bottom line.

Part of the plan for the George Street pedestrian plaza would be two “bookend stands.”

The committee decided that building the stands would cost $100,000 and they were going to earmark city funds for the project, but Barrhaven Coun. put a hold on the motion, until staff determined if there’s interest in sponsorship from the private sector.

“We should assess the interest from private com-

panies before committing to money from the city’s pockets,” she said.

Mayor Jim Watson said he wanted the Market to be a showcase.

“I think probably the most beautiful building in the whole market is the Byward Market building,” he said. “And when you’re coming down George Street, where the LRT station is going to be, right now you can’t see it because it’s basically blocked by plastic tarp stand holders.”

Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli looked for a business case to spend city dollars on the renewal.

“We are being asked to

spend $1 million now and another $10 million down the road, but I am just not sure what the building is getting out of this,” he said. “I am not against sprucing up the market, but that’s a lot of money to make it look pretty.”

Staff said the market is the city’s second biggest tourism draw and they’ve seen a steady decline in vendor stands.

The proposed governance changes would also affect the Parkdale Market. The project will be heard by council before its finalized.

The city is hosting a public information session on May 11.

MPP talks about year of depression MacLeod opens up about mental illness while announcing she’ll run in new Nepean riding Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com

“You really don’t know how far you can go until you’ve hit rock bottom and you’ve had to climb your way to the top.”

Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod shared this epiphany with a crowd of five hundred people in a speech that bore intimate confessions on May 1.

During a celebration marking her 10th year as the riding’s Progressive Conservative MPP, and long before the end of her speech, MacLeod made it clear that she privately struggled to get through some of those 10 years.

MacLeod made two revelations during the event at Cedarhill Golf Course. She told constituents that she plans to seek a fifth term as the PC party’s MPP for the area, running in the new provincial Nepean riding in 2018.

Nepean-Barrhaven News - Thursday, May 12, 2016

MPP on the mend to seek fifth consecutive term Continued from page 33

She also told supporters that, like one in five Canadians, she has battled mental illness.

Her brand was depression, and her struggle played out from mid-2014 to late 2015, a time during which her absences at public events and question periods were noted.

Earlier in 2014, the Progressive Conservatives lost a provincial election to the Liberal Party, which won by a majority.

That same year, MacLeod announced that she would run for leadership of her party, but in early 2015 she withdrew from the race.

By then depression had begun to settle in, and MacLeod said she sometimes passed entire days in bed.

“My famous fire in the belly had been all but extinguished,” she said.

“I felt like I was stripped down. I ached. I did not

know my path forward. I didn’t know what to do. I had no energy.”

But it was through grief that MacLeod was able to find a sense of purpose again, when, in June 2015, Rowan Stringer’s parents Gordon and Kathleen reached out to her for help.

After Rowan’s death as a result of second impact syndrome brought on by multiple concussions, the Stringers began to work with MacLeod to pass provincial concussion legislation.

That summer, MacLeod was also approached by the family of Teagan Batstone – an eight-year-old girl who was murdered in British Columbia in 2014 – to help repair gaps in Canada’s child protective laws that Teagan’s father Gabe believed contributed to his daughter’s death.

A mother herself, working with the parents who had lost children helped put an end to MacLeod’s

more than year-long decline. Macleod’s work with the Stringers has resulted in Rowan’s Law, a bill backed by three provincial parties, which, if passed, would become Canada’s first concussion legislation.

“Rowan Stringer, Teagan Batstone and my own daughter Victoria Varner,” MacLeod said.

“Through those three girls ... I have regained my sense of purpose.”

When the 2018 provincial election sees the former Nepean-Carleton riding split into two separate Nepean and Carleton ridings to better reflect new federal riding boundaries, Macleod said she will be in the race to represent the new Nepean riding.

“I will continue to stand by and stand up for the people of Carleton,” she said.

“But in 2018 it’ll be the people of Nepean who I seek a fifth mandate from.”

New home for the Memorial to the Victims of Communism Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

The Memorial to the Victims of Communism has found a new home, but it means relocating a piece of commissioned public art — for a second time.

The National Capital Commission voted unanimously to reserve land west of the terraces of the Garden of the Provinces and Territories, on the south side of Wellington Street near Bay Street, for the memorial. The only problem is the Twelve Points in a Classical Balance sculpture commissioned by the NCC in 1981 is already located there.

This will be the second time the sculpture, about seven metres wide by six metres long and almost four metres high, will be relocated. It was commissioned for Laurier Park in Gatineau on the site of the Canadian Museum of History, but was never located there. Instead, it was installed east of Dow’s Lake in Commissioners Park.

According to NCC docu-

ments, it was later moved to the Garden of the Provinces and Territories because it wasn’t well received by the public.

Stephen Willis, the NCC’s executive director of capital planning, said he’s confident the NCC can find a new appropriate location and that it can be relocated without damaging the piece.

The approved site for the Memorial to the Victims of Communism is actually the same as the one approved in June 2011 by the NCC. “I have a powerful feeling of déjà-vu because we did this five years ago at the same site,” said Russell Mills, chair of the NCC during a board meeting on April 28.

The NCC was asked in 2013 to authorize a new site, southwest of the Supreme Court by what was then called Public Works and Government Services Canad that was very controversial in the city.

But with the change in the federal government last year, that site was scrapped by Canadian Heritage.

SUBMITTED/NATIONAL CAPITAL COMMISSION

Twelve Points in a Classical Balance will have to be relocated to make room for the Memorial to the Victims of Communism.

Initially 12 sites were explored for the memorial, many were discarded because the proponent was looking for a more prominent site.

“This site is becoming increasingly prominent over time,” said Willis, of the forthcoming Holocaust monument and the future LeBreton Flats development.

The site for the monument has been pushed to the north west edge of the property.

“We feel putting it to the western edge of the site is a very sensitive approach,” he said of the need to balance

existing elements on the site, including fountains, terraces and the gardens.

Mills attended a recent stakeholder roundtable meeting with the proponent, Tribute to Liberty.

“It’s not exactly what they wanted, but it’s still a prominent site in the capital and the people opposing the previous site felt this was much more appropriate,” he said.

Mills said throughout the meeting it was clear there was a division between having the memorial evoke the horrors of communist rule with show-

casing Canada’s role as a land of refuge. “(It was felt) these are things could be accommodated through the creative design process,” Mills said.

Board member Michael Pankiw also wondered about design.

“I think the consultation shows 40 per cent of people who responded had concerns ... that the aspirations of the proponents may not be aligned with aspirations of the public,” Pankiw said. “Is there going to be some type of mechanism that goes back from public works and says, ‘No we will not accept this design, theme for these particular reasons?’”

NCC staff said those concerns will be worked out through a juried design process and public consultation.

Another board member, Bob Plamondon, wasn’t sold on the explanation for going back to the Gardens of the Provinces and Territories.

“I think we should have a higher test than it’s ‘appropriate.’ It really should be the

best location,” Plamondon said, adding he likes the location and sees it as being a draw for a walking tour to the west of Parliament Hill.

“I think you can be much more confident about it — that this is an appropriate site,” Willis responded, adding its location adjacent to the library and archives is a good fit.

Mayor Jim Watson, who sits on the board as a nonvoting member, said he had concerns about the previous Supreme Court site and is still concerned about the financial viability of the project.

“I think this is a much better alternative, but when I met with one of the proponents I couldn’t get a clear answer as to how much money they had actually raised,” he said.

To move forward with the project, Tribute to Liberty has to have the money, Willis said.

The approval on April 28 is the first of three needed from the board before the project is completed. At this point, the project should be installed and unveiled in 2018.

The masters at topsy-turvey were undoubtedly W. S. Gilbert and Sir Arthur Sullivan, their comic opera Iolanthe a rich example of contradictions, confusions and misalliances.

Add dimwitted lords and a fairy queen putting the moves on a grenadier guard.

Think tuneful scores, a compelling plot, delightful characters in fairy costumes and distinguished lords in lush robes. Passions are ignited then doused, relevant jokes abound, lovers are thwarted, then united- all typical Gilbert and Sullivan fare.

Ottawa audiences have come to expect the best from Meredith Matthews, who also directed HMS Pinafore and Mikado, and they will not be disappointed with Iolanthe.

mistress Ellen Boynton will be resplendent in flowing red robes with ermine collars and crowns. Under the robes each will be wearing a shirt with lace jabot, black knee breeches and waistcoat. Fairies will be sprightly in dainty costumes with each one’s personality illustrated by her unique accessories, denoting both good fairies and naughty fairies. The Fairy Queen will tower over them in her sparkling silver and magenta gown, wearing her crown and carrying her sceptre.

What appeals to music director Gloria Jean Nagy is that the music is tuneful, silly, dramatic and playful.

The words have been updated from Gilbert’s original score (written 134 years ago) to include funny moments from this past year’s politics.

The Savoy Society is looking for able people to help

with makeup, hair styling, prop placement backstage, as well as front of house jobs like directing cars in the parking lot, handing out programmes, greeting folks as they arrive to the show.

“No job is too small,” says Nagy, “and we need lots of hands to do the work. We are also looking for people to sing in the ‘pit choir’ to help bolster the choral sound.”

Interested persons need to contact gloriajeannagy@ gmail.com as soon as possible.

The show is suitable for all ages as there is dancing and singing in a lighthearted way; lots of fun for the whole family.

See is at Cedarview Alliance Church, 2784 Cedarview Rd. on May 27 and 28 at 7:30 p.m. and May 29 at 3 p.m. See www.ottawasavoysociety.org for details.

Bologna was a special treat at Briscoe’s General Store riscoe’s General Store, to me, was just about the most exciting place in all of Renfrew County.

If Father had to go to buy some nails, or coal oil, or maybe some leaf tobacco, I would beg to go with him. As soon as I went in the door, I could smell the maple cookies in the tilted box, and the smell of rubber boots hanging from a rafter, and then deeper inside, the scent of molasses in the wood barrel at the back of the store.

Across the store, about half way down, was a glass counter where meats and perishables were kept.

And inside was my very favourite food in all the world. It sat on a white enameled tray, and to me, it looked like it weighed at least 20 pounds.

It was a big fat roll of bologna ... of course, we simply called it balony back then.

I would rather have a slice of balony than a box of cracker jacks, or a bunch of butterscotch suckers which came bundled up with an elastic band.

Mother knew how I

MARY COOK Memories loved balony, and if there were a few pennies left after she bought what was on her list, she would say to Mr. Briscoe, “I guess we’ll have a slice of balony, too.”

He would take out the big roll, and with a butcher knife that looked like it would do harm to an elephant, he would slice off a thin piece and hand it to me, without benefit of even a piece of waxed paper. It wouldn’t make it to the door and the buggy!

I would roll it into one long piece, and devour it right on the spot.

And then one day, after Mother had finished her list, she again said I could have a slice of balony. Well, was I in for a surprise.

Mr. Briscoe went behind the counter, took out the big roll, and there was a

brand new piece of machinery to cut the slices. He put the roll on a tray attached to it, clamped the meat down with what looked like a fork, and turned a crank, and as neat as you please, off came a perfectly cut slice of balony. The only problem was, the machine cut the meat very thin, and I decided right then, I wished he had used the big butcher knife, but said nothing, so glad was I to get my favourite treat in the world.

Mr. Briscoe had what Mother called ‘a soft spot’ for the children of Northcote. No child ever left the store without being handed a humbug.

Now, I hated humbugs with a passion.

Balony better than humbugs

Bratwurst asparagus sliders German Bratwurst sausage inspired sliders with crunchy asparagus bits and gooey melted cheese are colourful, delicious and sure to be a hit at your next barbecue.

Try different types of Ontario cheese.

Preparation Time: 20 minutes Cooking Time: 5 minutes Grilling Time: 13 minutes Serves: 12 INGREDIENTS

• 24 stalks Ontario Asparagus, trimmed • 1 tbsp (15 mL) butter • 1 small onion, finely chopped • 1 lb (500 g) each lean ground pork and lean ground beef • 1 egg • 1/2 cup (125 mL) dry breadcrumbs • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) each salt, ground nutmeg, paprika and dry mustard • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) each pepper, celery seeds and ground coriander

• 6 slices Swiss cheese, halved • 12 small burger buns PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

Remove top two-inches (10 cm) of each asparagus spear, place asparagus tips in grill basket; set aside.

Finely chop half of the remaining asparagus stalks (reserve the remaining for another use). In medium skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat, add onion and cook until softened, about three minutes.

Add chopped asparagus and cook until asparagus is bright green and softened, about two minutes.

Let cool slightly.

In large bowl, combine pork, beef, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, nutmeg, paprika, dry mustard, pepper, celery seeds, coriander, and cooled asparagus mixture.

Form 1/3 cup (75 mL) mixture into small burger; repeat with remaining meat mixture.

Place grill basket on grill over medium heat. Grill asparagus two to three minutes, tossing frequently.

Remove and set aside.

Place burgers on greased grill over medium heat. Grill until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C), about five minutes per side. Top each burger with half slice of cheese. Close lid to melt cheese slightly.

To serve, place two asparagus tips on each cheese covered burger.

Serve on buns with a variety of mustards and sauerkraut.

They were light brown with stripes in them, and tasted like something you would take for a sore throat, and the taste stayed in my mouth for ages.

No, I had no use for humbugs, but good manners demanded I thank Mr. Briscoe as if I had been given a whole quarter.

But as soon as I got out the door and into the buggy, I threw the humbug into the ditch on the way home ... without Mother seeing of course.

Well, one day, just as we were about to leave the store,

Nepean Housing Corporation

Mr. Briscoe reached into the candy jar that sat on the end of the counter, and pulled out the usual humbug. I decided then and there I would do something that demanded every ounce of courage I had in my body, but would settle the humbug issue once and for all.

“Mr. Briscoe,” I said in my best Sunday school voice.

“Would you mind very much if instead of the humbug, I could have a slice of balony?”

He dropped the candy back in the jar, went to the counter at the back of the store, took out the roll, and using the brand

new machine, cut me a slice, and handed it to me.

Ever after, whenever we went to the store, Mr. Briscoe, when we were ready to leave, would go to the meat counter and slice a piece of balony for me on his new machine.

Never again did I have to take a humbug, pretend I was delighted, and toss it into the ditch on the way back to the farm.

City on the road to using photo radar after committee vote Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The city’s transportation committee set the wheels in motion on May 4 for a photo radar program that will enforce speed limits in some school zones.

The motion, originally the brainchild of River Coun.

Riley Brockington, will petition the province for the power to use photo radar and reduce the speed limit of some residential roads.

The motion gives ward councillors the option to request radar be used in specific neighbourhoods, and reduce the speed of residential roads from 50 kilometres per hour to 40.

Just before the committee meeting, Mayor Jim Watson, who crafted the original motion with committee chair Coun. Keith Egli, sent out a memo in support of photo radar technology. The only caveat was that it be used in school zones and revenue collected through fines be put in a special account to be

used for “road safety” measures.

“I believe this is a solid way forward for those who are hesitant about a widescale roll-out of photo radar on streets where it may not be warranted,” Watson wrote in the memo.

“Or for those who are concerned with the tool being used as a limitless, revenuegenerating measure.”

Despite the fact that the motion – along with an amendment from Osgoode Coun. George Darouze that asks the province for the power to ticket out-of-province drivers for infractions related to photo radar – passed unanimously, debate lasted five hours.

Brockington, who doesn’t sit on the transportation committee, said he realizes the issue is a contentious one, but wants the city to start cracking down on speeding.

“It’s about a basic right to safety,” he said. “I will force this city to have a conversation about speeding and what we are going to do about it.”

Chelsey Wynne, who spoke on behalf of the Blackburn Community Association, said her area fears for the safety of their kids, who attend schools off of busy Innes Road.

Wynne said many parents worry about kids walking to school, because of the high speeds of drivers. Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper said Wynne’s example just highlighted the problem.

“Parents don’t want their kids walking, so they drive them, creating this selfperpetuating cycle,” he said.

“We have to deal with the speeding if we are going to improve the situation.”

Many of those who spoke at the meeting felt the pilot program didn’t go far enough.

Kevin O’Donnell, from Kitchissippi Ward, said he’ll take what’s being offered if it moves the issue forward.

O’Donnell said he remembers a time when he road to Montreal in the family van without a seat belt.

He said we wouldn’t think

of doing that today, and he hopes to one day look back and say “remember when we used to go 70 (km per hour) in a 40 zone?”

Michael Powell, from Safe Streets Ottawa, said using photo radar isn’t re-inventing the wheel, as other jurisdictions have already used the technology.

Powell said the intersection of Booth Street and Gladstone Drive has two schools, daycares and a church. Despite this, people are go ing significantly above the speed limit. A speed board installed in 2012 showed that 56 per cent of drivers went over the posted limit.

Julianne Vogt, from the Ottawa Safety Council – which is responsible for staffing the city’s adult crossing guards and the heads of the walking school bus program, said crossing guards are the eyes on the city’s roadways.

“They know speed is an issue,” she said, adding the organization has “a lot of little feet to protect.”

A staff report, presented by the manager of traffic services, said Quebec – which has photo radar across the province – has seen compliance with the posted speed limit catapult to 85 per cent from 40 where the radars are being used.

Phil Landry said it will take a year for city staff to develop a plan for the pilot project once the approvals are in place.

He added it would take another two years for staff to have the metrics from the program to determine the level of success. RideauGoulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt expressed concern about signage and potential reallocation of police officers as a result of the technology.

“I wouldn’t want to see this take the place of officers on the roads,” Moffatt said, “because it’s about changing behaviours.”

Scott Nystedt, a superintendent with Ottawa police, said there are no plans to reduce the number of officers.

He said photo radar would

simply be one tool the city could use to reduce speeds.

Douglas Kirkland, a former police officer, said that radars should be implemented across the city, not just in select wards, otherwise speeders will gravitate to the areas they know are not being monitored.

“It’s about getting from point A to point B as quickly as possible,” he said. Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi, a provincial cabinet minister, applauded the decision.

“I commend the City of Ottawa for taking the bold step today to help improve road safety in our community,” Naqvi stated in a press release. “Research proves that lower speed limits and increased enforcement in residential areas result in fewer pedestrian and cyclist deaths, and a safer community for everyone.”

Naqvi said in the release that he will advocate for the legislative changes necessary for the City of Ottawa to move forward on a pilot project.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 A restless spirit is the catalyst for a new project, Aries. This week you dive right into something that will take up all of your mental energy. Try to avoid slacking off in other areas.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, thanks to your hectic schedule, achieving lofty goals this week may be a stretch, so aim for something a little more manageable and celebrate the achievement.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, though you may be content to remain out of the spotlight most of the time, when you engage with others, you really can show just how compelling you are.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 You may be expected to step up and care for people all of the time, but this week you’re the one who needs some special attention, Cancer. All you have to do is reach out for assistance.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you have many good reasons to throw caution to the wind this week, but you may have to reign in your adventurous spirit just a little bit. You’re an example to others.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Listen carefully to your intuition this week, Virgo. Most of the time you can trust that little voice more than outside influences. Focus on your dreams for a bit.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, when things become complicated, you’re the person people often seek to iron out the situation. You have a way of quickly getting to the root of a problem.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, even though you normally think cooly and collectedly, this week you may be at the end of your rope. Book some time for a little R&R to recharge your batteries.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, positive encounters, including an unexpected meeting with an old friend, could make for an interesting week. Your social life is booming.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you have a measured and methodical approach to your goals.

This week, though, your sense of fun may take over and steer you off course.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Consider your words before sharing your perspective, Aquarius. You do not want to hurt anyone’s feelings, even if what you have to say is the truth.

Word things carefully.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Your self-esteem soars this week when you go out of your way to put others’ needs before your own. Act from your heart, Pisces.
