Town Centre zoning put forward Urbandale submits application for lands near highway Jessica Cunha
jessica.cunha@metroland.com
EMC news - A developer is asking the city to rezone seven blocks of land within the Kanata Town Centre. Urbandale Corporation is looking for a mixture of residential, mixed-use and open space on currently undeveloped land. The construction company submitted its proposal in August. Calls to the company went unreturned as of press time. The blocks of land, located on Canadian Shield Avenue and Maritime Way, are boarded by Highway 417, Campeau Drive, Gray Crescent and lands owned by the city. The Urbandale submission was the main topic at Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson’s ward meeting on Oct. 22. More than 80 people packed themselves into the program room in the Kanata Seniors Centre to hear about the proposal. “The zoning is just the framework; what really matters is the site plan,” said Wilkinson. Faith Blacquiere, a Glen Cairn resident, said even though she lives in south Kanata, the rezoning proposal is of concern to her. She said the developers should be building more highdensity residential units. See RESIDENTS, page 2

No big promises in budget Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - The City of Ottawa’s “stay the course” draft budget means the average homeowner in the urban area would pay an extra $67 on the municipal portion of their tax bill next year. It’s the smallest tax increase in six years and at 2.09 per cent, it falls below
city council’s commitment to keep tax hikes at 2.5 per cent each year. As the mayor indicated before the budget was released, it’s a plan that mostly sees city services maintained and the continuation of existing projects, but not a lot of new spending. “There are many items contained in budget 2013 that will assist citizens in each
and every ward and each and every neighbourhood right across this wonderful city,” Mayor Jim Watson said during his lengthy speech to council before tabling the budget. While the city had been on the hunt for a new, larger location for the well-used Emerald Plaza library branch, the library will stay where it is and expand into a neighbour-
ing part of the shopping centre, almost doubling in size to about 930 square metres. The library wasn’t scheduled for an expansion until 2015, but when space opened up in the mall, KnoxdaleMerivale Coun. Keith Egli made the case to jump at the opportunity before it was too late.

Residents voice concerns over Town Centre rezoning Continued from page 1
J.L. RICHARDS & ASSOCIATES LIMITED
An artist’s rendering of what the Kanata Town Centre lands could look like. Urbandale has applied for a rezoning to residential, mixed-use and open space for a number of lots.
The west end will have to grow to at least 120,000 people to get light rail – once the city builds the transit system, said Blacquiere “I want all the density in that place,” she said, adding it’s the perfect location for highrise apartments. “They should put higher density in the Town Centre.” When the south Nepean Town Centre lands were being built, the community had a chance to rework the official plan to suit the area, she said. “We need a new official plan exercise,” said Blacquiere. Plans have been in place to develop the Town Centre as a mixture of business and residential properties for years, said Wilkinson, adding no detailed site plans have been submitted. CONCERN
Other residents were concerned with how the proposed development would fit in with the existing buildings. One said she might look at selling her house, located along Campeau Road, before the development gets under way. She added she was wor-
ried about how many storeys could be looking down on her front yard. Another resident said he was apprehensive about the potential streetscape and neon signs on Campeau if commercial buildings are built. A third mentioned his concern for the added pressure on traffic and public transit if a large number of residential units are built. However, others said the Town Centre is exactly where high density apartments should be located. The lands don’t back directly onto lowrise homes such as in Beaverbrook, where two midrise buildings have been proposed. Mario Poirier said people need to make up their minds when it comes to development. “We can’t say ‘No, we don’t want this at 2 The Parkway (in Beaverbrook), put it in the Town Centre,’” he said. “Then when it comes to the Town Centre, ‘No, we don’t want it there any more.’ “You can’t have it both ways.” Residents are encouraged to submit comments to city planner Marc Magierowicz through email at marc.magierowicz@ottawa.ca or by phone at 613-580-2424 ext. 27820.

Development report delayed for third time Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com
EMC news - A report for a Beaverbrook development proposal has been postponed for a third time. The release of the city’s report on a nine-storey building proposed for 2 The Parkway has been pushed back again, as has the planning committee meeting. The city’s official plan doesn’t support a nine-storey building, said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson at her ward council meeting on Oct. 22. She said the
developer is pushing to keep the development as is and has threatened to go straight to the Ontario Municipal Board on the matter. “It’s back to the drawing board,” said Wilkinson. The original report was to be released at the end of June, but was pushed back to August after the developer learned the city would not support the proposal. A third revision for 2 The Parkway was submitted to the city so the report was delayed to the fall. Wilkinson said she is unsure when the report will be released to the public or when
it will be heard at planning committee, but will continue to update residents on the progress.

Minto Group has started servicing its Arcadia development near Huntmar Drive, said Wilkinson, adding the public school board is looking at a possible new school site near the community.

Kanata and Stittsville community police officer Const. Lori Fahey updated residents on crime statistics in the area. She said theft from vehicles is still the top offense in the west end. “Make sure you keep your vehicle locked,” Fahey said, adding the thefts are mostly “crimes of opportunity.” She said the number of thefts isn’t as high as in other areas of the city, but she still sees “more than (she) likes.”

EMC news - A voluntary online registry for people with autism living in the city is helping the Ottawa police in emergency situations. The registry gives police “quick access to critical information about a registered person,” said the department in a news release. “From both a community
and police perspective the registry has proved to be a most valuable tool,” said Staff Sgt. Jamie Dunlop. “We have received excellent feedback from the families of registrants and officers who have used it.” So far, more than 470 people have signed up for the online tool, said police. However, annual registration is required in order to keep the file
active. The registry includes information such as a physical description, routines, favourite attractions and the specific needs of the person with autism. It also provides contact information in the event of an emergency. For more information, visit ottawapolice. ca/en/Community/Autism/ AutismRegistry.aspx.

Condors get boost with Bell Capital Cup Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com
NO MORE WAIT LIST
Jim and Shana have been working tirelessly to build the Condors club. Now in its fifth year, the Condors boasts two Kanata teams, a team in Rockland, one in Cambridge, Ont., and another in Gatineau. The Condors is also set to debut teams in Carleton Place, Huntsville, Ont., and Calgary in the new year. “It’s crazy and awesome that so many more kids get to do this,” said Shana. “Everybody’s off the wait list and I’m still taking new players.” Almost a year ago, the Con-
dors were struggling to accommodate everyone who wanted to play; there were at least 20 children still on the wait list to become a part of the team. “We never imagined this is where it would go,” said Shana. “It’s crazy but awesome.” Registration is ongoing all season long, she said. Player registration is available on the website at capitalcitycondors. org. The Perkins added they are always looking for help on and off the ice, and are in specific need of adult volunteers. Volunteer registration is also available on the website. MORE TEAMS
She and Jim are also looking at starting a hockey league for blind and visually impaired players, as well as a team for those who are confined to wheelchairs. “They only have sledge hockey right now,” said Jim. “Some don’t have the upper strength. “We’re working to modify chairs so kids confined to wheelchairs can play.” The Perkins will be working with Courage Canada, based in Vancouver, to develop hockey for people who are blind. “Once we get it established here, we’ll have the knowhow...we can share it,” said Shana.

EMC news - A hockey team for children with special needs is set to get a big boost in international attention. The Capital City Condors has become an arm of the Bell Capital Cup tournament, which attracts teams from across the globe, said Condors president and co-founder Jim Perkins. “It’ll give the program huge visibility,” he said, adding “Not just ours, but special hockey in general.” Jim and his wife Shana founded the Condors, a hockey club that caters to youth ages six and up with intellectual and physical disabilities. The team participates in the Special Hockey International Tournament but this will be the first mixed tournament for the Condors. “It’s going to be huge for the kids, that part, for our club,” said Jim. “Hockey’s just a conduit for them to belong to something.” Last year’s Bell Capital Cup saw 410 teams participate from 19 divisions with more than 7,000 players. Teams from Canada, the United States, Finland, Germany and South Korea competed in the tournament. “They’ll be treated as another team at the Bell Capital Cup,” said Shana. “They’re be-
ing included and integrated.” Special needs hockey teams from Cambridge, Orangeville, Guelph and the Kawarthas will also participate in the tournament, said Jim. The 2013 Bell Capital Cup runs from Dec. 28 to Jan. 1. Requests for comment from the organizers of the tournament went unanswered as of press time. Aside from participating in the Bell Capital Cup, the Condors are also gearing up to host the 2015 Special Hockey International Tournament. The team put forward its bid in 2011 after seeing how much the players enjoyed participating in the event. “We’re blessed doubly to be part of both (tournaments),” said Jim.

Smart development is planned development
F
or the most part, the suburbs have gotten off relatively easy as the city pushes for intensification – plans intended to prevent, or at least allay, urban sprawl. So when a developer comes forward with a proposal for a large-scale commercial development – a plan that allows for high density residential buildings – it makes no sense to throw up roadblocks. The Kanata Town Centre lands are a perfect fit for
high-density housing, says Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. We couldn’t agree more. Urbandale Corp. is asking the city to rezone 10 hectares of land north of Highway 417 and east of the Kanata Centrum and is looking to create roughly 111,000 square metres of commercial space as well as hundreds of housing units. Last week, more than 80 members of the community packed a meeting room at
the Kanata Seniors Centre for the councillor’s monthly ward council meeting – many of them concerned about the Urbandale proposal. We can certainly sympathize. Over the past decade, communities across the city have been hit with a slew of spot rezoning requests from developers seeking permission to build highrises and midrises not in keeping with the various neighbourhoods’ character. For instance, a current plan
to build a midrise in Beaverbrook has many residents up in arms, saying the building doesn’t fit in with the community. One of the leaders of those opposing the Beaverbrook midrise, Bill Teron, has repeatedly suggested the Kanata Town Centre lands as a perfect spot for a midrise or highrise. That’s why the land was set aside for future retail, office and high-density development by planners with the former city of Kanata.
If not the Kanata Town Centre lands, where? The area will eventually have two Transitway stations on its doorstep, and runs along an eight-lane highway. If Kanata – or any other suburb – is to incorporate intensification and large-scale commercial development, this is the way to do it. If the city rejects proposals such as this it inflates the argument that people are NIMBYs whenever they oppose developments that don’t fit the
character of their neighbourhoods. Development has to go somewhere. Better it go where pipes, schools, bus routes, garbage collection and other city services already exist, so we don’t have to pay for more. This isn’t a rubber-stamp process – the development applications must keep in line with the area’s designated zoning. But going big next to a highway and transit is smart development.
COLUMN
A bridge too low CHARLES GORDON Funny Town
T
he other day there was a house moving down the Queensway, west to east, going slow, as houses do. That was a good thing because not much damage was done when the top part of the house couldn’t get under an overpass. Now, you might say: “What a foolish thing to drive a house down the Queensway without making sure about how tall it was and how high the overpasses were!” And I might say: “Well, at least they were trying, and least they were making the effort to get from one place to another.” Which brings us, inevitably, to how little the people who run this city are trying. There was a story last week about the central library. Library planners are proposing that there be a modernization, as opposed to a renovation — not a particularly big modernization, but one that will, in the inevitable words of someone, bring the library into the 21st century. Plans for something more ambitious were rejected, and we know why. There is next to no chance that the city will pony up the money. The same goes for the thrilling idea, widely discussed a few years ago, of building a brandnew library downtown. You’ll remember that this was seen as an exciting opportunity not only to re-energize the downtown but also to bring the library maybe even into the 22nd century. Proponents looked longingly at such examples as the Vancouver Public Library, which is a fine library, a great meeting place and an adornment to its downtown. We could have that here. Alas, no. A low bridge was glimpsed in the distance, the bridge of tight budgets and
grumpy voters. No way a new library was going to get under that one. And so, as with many projects that might benefit the city, the project never hit the road. You may also remember that one of the sites considered for the new library was the Government Conference Centre, the old railway station or, as the government likes to call it, Building Number 054533. Since 1966, when it ceased being a railway station, the building has mainly just sat there, playing host to the occasional event. It had a brief brush with fame in the ‘70s and ‘80s as the site for federal provincial conferences, but since then, nothing. To the federal government’s credit, it has not torn the building down and replaced it with a condo. Also to the government’s credit, has turned down proposals ranging from a sports hall of fame to an aquarium. But still, here’s a gorgeous historic building at the very heart of downtown Ottawa that simply demands to be put to some creative use and no one is doing it. There are cities that would salivate at the opportunity to take advantage of such a building, such a site. Ottawa is not one of them. This is why so little has happened here in recent years. Most development has been by default — the city saying yes to one condo builder after another. We will get a casino the same way — not because anybody particularly wants one but because not enough politicians have the heart to say no. Many will say our inertia on things such as the library is due to an absence of money. In part, perhaps, but it is also due to an absence of political gumption. Politicians at all levels are convinced that they will be punished by voters for thinking big, if thinking big means spending money and spending money means not keeping taxes low. Maybe it’s true, maybe it’s not. The idea hasn’t been tested for some time. Certainly people seem to be quite proud of the War Museum, Ottawa City Hall, the Shenkman Centre and other recent examples of thinking big. Wouldn’t it be worth a try again? The bridge may be higher than we think (measuring first).

on Saturday, Oct. 13. Derek Dunn spent a good deal of time at the rally in front of Jack MacLaren’s office and I am disappointed at his approach. Mr. Dunn stated that I was, “somewhat disappointed only 44 of 107 ridings held similar rallies.� That was a gross misreading of my reaction. I was, in fact, delighted that 44 ridings, nearly half, were holding similar rallies. Though he said that the group consisted of “senior citizens well beyond the age when an unplanned pregnancy could permanently disrupt their lives,� 16-year-old Julia Bredfeldt was supported by at least a dozen other young people. Half of the participants were under 25 years of age. To suggest that “senior citizens� were the mainstay of the group is incorrect. Abortion is elective surgery. Why are Ontario taxpayers paying for elective surgery when health care funding in Ontario is in crisis? Key areas, such as physiotherapy and ambulance services have been delisted. Major cuts have been made to physician’s services, to quote Boris Kalj, the executive director, Ontario Medical Association Economic Department and OMA chief economist, in his response
To the editor, I would like to bring an urgent safety issue at the Eagleson park-and-ride to your attention: at the east side of the Eagleson park-and-ride, there is no safe provision for people to drop off or pick up a passenger and turn back safely. I would appreciate if you are able to consider a roundabout after the bus stop. This would allow people in cars to turn around safely after dropping off or picking up a passenger at the bus stop. As an engineer, I feel it is a road hazard. It is only a matter of time (if accidents have not already happened) before someone gets seriously hurt in an accident. Sucha S. Mann P.Eng. management consultant, Banga Group **
Anti-abortion rally a success To the editor, Re: “Coalition calls for an end to publicly-funded abortions� by Derek Dunn. I was involved in helping to organize the defund abortion rallies in the Ottawa area
to the impact of OHIP finding cuts, “OHIP cuts (totaling $338 million) impact 5,330 fees in the schedule of benefits� and “we can expect significant reductions in services and hence diminished patient access.� This is at a time when it is very hard to find a family doctor and necessary medical services are being denied funding. Why should a procedure that ends a pregnancy be supported by tax dollars? Wanda Hartlin Campaign for Life **
Outstanding performance To the editor, I would like to thank Holy Trinity Catholic High School’s rhythm and blues band for being my guest performers at city council recently. The band was outstanding and was asked by the mayor to do a second tune. The band also played on Friday night at Saunders Farm for our Scaring is Caring event to raise money for the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa. Their performance was inspirational and we have already booked them for next year’s event. The leadership and guidance of teacher Neil Bateman is clearly helping the band be-
come a very professional team of musicians. I want to personally and publicly by way of this note thank him for making both these events very special. Allan Hubley Kanata South councillor **
Thanks for the recipes To the editor, Re: Pat Trew’s Food ’n’
Stuff column, “After 34 years, I leave you with a fond farewell,� in the Oct. 25, 2012 edition. I am so sorry to read your farewell this evening in the weekly Kourier-Standard and to hear that you are undergoing treatment for lung cancer. I have truly enjoyed your column over the years and my favorite recipe is the one you wrote several years ago: New Potaoes Make the Best Potato Salad. I particularly like how you transformed simple ingredients into something really
spectacular by paying attention to details (having new potatoes, letting the potatoes cool down before adding the mayonnaise and the importance of the mayonnaise). To me, this was the true signature of an artist. I use this recipe every year, when new crops of potatoes are available. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through this challenging time. Thank you again for years of fantastic recipes. I wish you well. Beatrice Mullington **

Hydro Ottawa’s accomplishments include strong financial results, with net income and dividends consistently exceeding expectations, and shareholder value increasing by $135 million over the past four years.

These results have contributed to solid customer satisfaction scores recognized by the Electricity Distributors Association and most recently by Chartwell Inc. at its Customer Experience Conference in California, where finalists included major U.S. utilities Southern California Edison, San Diego Gas and Electric, PPL Electric and NIPSCO.
EMC news - Kanata’s Diane Crook became involved in the Irving Greenberg Family Cancer Centre because she is connected to the family who funded it and whose name is on the door. She applied to volunteer as soon as the centre opened and has been volunteering since January 2010, after completing a screening and training program. She says there are “great volunteer opportunities at the IGFCC,” and she is happy to do her bit to help. Upon arrival at the centre, patients are greeted by volunteers who welcome them and provide information about the services they can access through the Canadian Cancer Society or through the hospital’s psychosocial oncology program. Crook is just one of the wonderful volunteers who staff the podium. At other times she might be called on to work in the clinics where doctors see patients or in the radiation or chemotherapy areas. For Crook, the best part of volunteering is “the incredible people I meet week in and week out.” She’s also very impressed with the team of medical professionals. One of the things that amazes her is the number of

She hasn’t had cancer; it isn’t necessary to be a cancer survivor to volunteer, although many former patients do want to give back to the centre for the wonderful care they have received. Crook retired early from the corporate world and, over the years, has volunteered at other worthwhile causes: Big Brothers Big Sisters, early literacy programs at two local elementary schools, as an in-school mentor, companion to a senior, working with Alzheimer’s patients and teaching yoga.

Columnist on a homework strike BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse uncontrollably in the dark, he’s screaming, “I’m not doing the homework. No! No! No!” Now, I don’t know if this is the only thing that’s play-

some negative impact. Last week, I wrote about some of the creative ways we were going to tackle homework. We have failed. We’re as stressed and frustrated as ever about homework. And apparently, we’re not the only ones. The value of homework has been widely debated in the media these past few weeks, in the wake of French President Francois Hollande’s call for a nationwide ban on the
practice. The head of the French Parents Association, JeanJacques Hazon, summed it up well in a clip interpreted on CBC’s The Current on Oct. 18: “Forcing (children) to read the same page over and over is useless and it puts inherently fragile children under enormous pressure. It stresses kids out, turning them against school forever, and they bring all that
stress home.” A 2008 study out of the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto appears to affirm these assertions. The authors of “Homework Realities: A Canadian Study of Parental Opinions and Attitudes” surveyed more than 1,000 caregivers of 2,072 children across the province. See SURVEY, page 18

Travelling dinner brings neighbours together Jessica Cunha

EMC news - A travelling village dinner in Beaverbrook aims to bring people together and give them an opportunity to get to know their neighbours. Resident Eileen Howell brought the idea to life last year after reading an article about a community in Toronto that held a similar event. The travelling dinner features three courses – appetizers, entree, and dessert – served
pitality. Meet a neighbour, make a friend.” With newer families and individuals moving into the area, Howell said this is a great opportunity to meet new people. “We need to find new ways to connect with each other in order to keep the community strong,” she said. “Being a neighbour matters. Knowing who your neighbours are matters.” The Beaverbrook Travelling Village Dinner, to be held on Dec. 1 starting at 6 p.m., is
at three different houses, with three different couples for each course. The first house with the first course features three couples. After, they all disperse to a new location for the next course, with a different set of couples. “The same thing happens at the end of the main course… they put their coats and hats on and go off for dessert with a whole new group of people,” said Howell. “The idea is to break bread with a stranger; receive hospitality, give hos-
now in its second year and is looking to draw more attendees than last year. Sponsored by the Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association, the inaugural event drew more than 120 people. The dessert portion had to be moved to the Mlacak Centre because there was so much interest, said Howell. “It was the first thing we ever did that really engaged the whole community,” she
said, adding she personally talked to around 200 families leading up to the dinner. She sent out emails, made phone calls, and even went door-todoor to let people know. There are only two rules in order to participate, said Howell: • You have to be willing to have people come into your home, and be willing to enter a stranger’s house. • You can’t invite people
from outside the community. “I’m sort of expecting this will mushroom,” she said. “It’s truly a really wonderful evening.” For more information, or to register for the Travelling Village Dinner, call Howell at 613-592-8754 or email her at ehowell@magma.ca. “The people just around the corner are no longer strangers,” said Howell. “They know their neighbours.”

Ronny tries his ears at growing potatoes
M
MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories time Uncle Herby and Aunt Helen could send the boys out to the farm at Northcote, they did. It didn’t matter if it was the middle of the winter, or during the dead heat of the summer, we never knew when to expect the two cousins. I was always thrilled when they came to stay. They added much to our quiet life out there on the farm, and I loved when the cousins were with us, even though Ronny was constantly in trouble, if not at home, at Northcote School. Back then, it didn’t seem to matter where you came from, or why you were in the school. If you were of school age, you just went.Terry was too young, even for primer book, so he stayed home with Mother. But Ronny, close to my age, made the three-and-half-mile trek with the rest of us. All that was needed was an extra bag of lunch. Well, Ronny hated having his ears examined every morning.
He didn’t complain about the neck, but for some reason he went through a routine that never varied when Mother was ready for her examination. He would bend his head onto his shoulder as far as it would go, screw up his face, and let out a howl much like our old Collie dog did when he thought something was attacking our hen house. Mother gave him no sympathy. He also didn’t have much use for the nightly sponge bath. And I know for a fact he often just wet the face cloth and put it right back in the basin of water, stood for as long as he thought a reasonable time, and announced he was finished. And of course, the ears were rarely touched. Well, one morning Mother took a hold of one of his ears, and said “Ronny Lapointe, you could plant potatoes in there. Get over to the bench and I’ll give those ears a clean out.” Well, for some reason that morning, Ronny took his punishment like a man. But I could tell the wheels were
turning in his head. There was no howling, and he didn’t even bend his head to his shoulder when the other ear was being washed. Something was up with Ronny, I could tell. He was deep in thought. The next morning, we all lined up for the usual examination. Mother thought, since Audrey was in Senior Fourth, she didn’t have to have her ears and neck examined. She was old enough and quite capable of looking after her own cleanliness. I couldn’t wait until I reached that magic age. Well, then it was Ronny’s turn. He stood ramrod straight – again, very unusual for Ronny. Mother bent to have a look. She got close to his ears and then hauled him over to the window so she could get a better view. “Ronny Lapointe! What have you got in your ears?” Ronny looked up at Mother and said, “Aunty, you said yesterday I could plant potatoes in my ears. Well, I thought I could maybe help it along if I put a bit of gravel in there. I sure would like to see a potato grow in my ears. Boy, wouldn’t I have something to tell the guys back in Montreal when I get home.” I had no idea if he thought seriously that he could plant a potato in his ear by putting in a bit of dirt, or if, as usual,
he just wanted to cause a bit of commotion in that old log house out in Renfrew County! Father was just coming in the back door from the barns and he saw the entire performance. He lit his pipe, squint-
ed his eyes half shut, as he always did when he saw or heard something he couldn’t believe, and said, “It’s going to be a long winter. I’ll tell you, I’m afraid they’ll be here until the spring run-off!”

other had a thing about clean ears and necks. We never once went out the door in the morning, on the way to the Northcote School, that we weren’t subjected to a close look at both. Heaven forbid that we might get run over with a horse and buggy, end up at old Doctor Murphy’s or the Renfrew Hospital, and have someone see that we had dirty ears and necks! Every night before we went to bed, each of us had to give ourselves a sponge bath. And we had to pay special attention to our ears and necks, knowing full well they would be scrutinized the next morning. We pretty much ignored the rest of our bodies, since it wasn’t likely Mother would be examining us after we were fully dressed. My sister Audrey said she was quite sure we had the cleanest ears and necks in the entire Renfrew County. One year, the Lapointe cousins were again with us well into the fall, and Father said he doubted very much if Uncle Herby had any intention of taking them back to Montreal before the spring thaw! Ronny was a force to be reckoned with, while his younger brother Terry was as meek as a mouse. And any

A Remembrance Day ceremony will be held at the Kanata Cenotaph in Village Green on Nov. 11 starting at 11 a.m.
The importance of wearing a poppy Moira Green
Kanata Legion
Remembrance Day draws closer every day and the Kanata Legion is busy working on the Poppy and Remembrance Campaign for 2012. The public is invited to attend the Remembrance Day ceremony at the Kanata Cenotaph in Village Green on Nov. 11 starting at 11 a.m. The organizers of the poppy campaign are grateful to those members of the public who take the time to make a donation and most importantly to wear a poppy. Why bother to wear a pop-
py? What does it really mean? The poppy is a symbol of remembrance. By wearing a poppy you demonstrate that you have not forgotten those who have made the ultimate sacrifice and those who continue to do so. The poppy serves as a symbol of remembrance to ensure that the memory and the sacrifice of our war veterans are not forgotten. In the last decade the Canadian Forces have been fighting a war in Afghanistan, an operation on a scale not seen since the Second World War. Canadian service men and

City debt level won’t increase: mayor “It’s very well used and it’s bursting at the seams. It’s absolutely where it needs to be, but it needs more space,” Egli said. The project would be com-
er by $975,000, bringing annual funding for pesticide treatments and replanting to $1.8 million. There is also money for 16 new crossing guards. After public consultations, city council is set to approve the budget on Nov. 28. TRANSPORTATION
JIM WATSON pleted in 2013 and it would also include a new radio-frequency identification (RFID) sorting system. The city began switching libraries to the more modern system last year to free up staff to offer programs rather than sort books. Other projects include community design plans promised for areas around future light rail stations that would be funded to the tune of $300,000. Two new city plans approved last year – the Older Adult Plan and the Arts, Heritage and Culture Plan – will get $500,000 and $1 million respectively towards their implementation. The city plans to boost funding to fight the emerald ash bor-
Of course, the major transportation project in 2013 will be the start of construction on the first section of the city’s $2.1-billion light-rail transit system, including a tunnel under the downtown. The city is proposing to sprinkle $4.9 million worth of traffic-signal changes around the city. There will be some new signals and alterations to existing ones, and additional audible signals for the vision impaired. A plan to build a grade-separated crossing underneath Terry Fox Drive and a new Transitway section between Terry Fox Station and Didsbury Road is moving forward. More preliminary work will be done in 2013, with construction slated to start in 2014 in conjunction with the Earl Grey underpass construction to minimize construction impact. There’s also money to put towards the proposed park-andride lot at Innovation Drive in the Kanata Business Park. The city will “fill in a crucial
gap” for cyclists along the Sawmill Creek pathway between Walkley Road and Brookfield Road to provide a better connection to Hogs Back and the Rideau Canal pathway system, Watson said. Small segments of sidewalks are slated to be added on Lombardo Drive, along Colonnade Road in front of Viewmount Park, along Brookfield Road from Clover Street to the multiuse pathway east of Traverse Drive. New traffic signals are proposed for Carling Avenue at Andrew Haydon Park, Holly Acres at the Trans Canada Trail and on Baseline Road at Villa Marconi (Farlane Boulevard) – something that excited Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli and College Coun. Rick Chiarelli. A new audible crossing signal is proposed for March Road at Teron/Richardson. Pedestrian countdown signals will be added at Terry Fox Road and Maple Grove Road, Richmond Road and John Sutherland Drive, Centrepointe Drive and Tallwood Drive, Baseline and Cordova Street, Baseline east of Cedarview Road, Fisher Avenue/Dynes Road at Deer Park Road and at Perth and Fowler streets at Nixon Farm Drive in Richmond. The city has put aside money to move the snow storage area at Maple Grove. A new location
should come before council for a decision in November. SOCIAL SERVICES
The city has to grapple with a “dark cloud on the horizon” when it comes to social services, the mayor said. That’s because the provincial government is clawing back $7.15 million for discretionary benefits and the Community Start Up fund. That money goes towards a number of services for the most vulnerable residents of the city, including glasses and funerals for people on disability or financial assistance and emergency hydro and rent payments to prevent people from becoming homeless. “I’m concerned and I’m also not happy about it,” Watson said. While the city did receive an additional $5 million from the provincial government this year thanks to ongoing “uploading” payment to reclaim the costs of social programs at the provincial level, that money basically had to be redirected to make up for the discretionary funding shortfall, Watson said. SAVINGS
A lot of budget savings will continue to come from the Service Ottawa project, which aims to consolidate city ser-
vices. In 2013, that will mean $8.8 million in savings from putting more services online, such as permit applications. City treasurer Marian Simulik applauded the city’s ability to slash another 139 full-time positions from its payroll, but later clarified that only 42 of the city’s 14,489 jobs were cut this year. The rest were eliminated previously, but were tracked in terms of dollars, meaning the jobs themselves remained on the books. Still, the last two years have marked the first time since 2002 that the city actually eliminated jobs to save money – $3.5 million this year. Many of those jobs were at the Nepean Equestrian Park, which the city decided to close in 2012. Office expenses for the mayor and councillors will
continue to be frozen. DEBT
The city’s debt level is now sitting at $1.4 billion and the mayor said that figure won’t be increasing this year. The debt represents around 10 per cent of the cost of the city’s $15 billion worth of capital assets. The city borrows money to build that kind of infrastructure in order to spread the cost over the asset’s lifetime to ensure the people who are using it also pay for it. Servicing the city’s debt accounts for about five per cent of the city portion of a individual’s tax bill, the city treasurer said. Ottawa’s debt is the second lowest per capita debt ($1,537) compared to Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver, the mayor said.
Remaining budget consultations include: • Central: Thursday, Nov. 1, from 4 to 6 p.m. at city hall, located at 110 Laurier Ave. W., in the Andrew S. Haydon Hall. This session will include assisted-listening devices and simultaneous translation.

Most fare hikes capped at 2.5% in OC Transpo budget
The proposed 2013 police budget holds the line by not adding new officers to the force.
FILE
No new cops proposed for two years Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - Ottawa’s population is growing, but the size of its police service won’t be for the next two years. The police service has no plans to add new officer or civilian positions until 2015 as the Ottawa Police Service tries to hold the line on increasing costs and corresponding tax hikes. As it stands this year, an average homeowner can expect to pay an additional $13 a year on their tax bill for police services. The police budget is going up by $9.5 million: $4 million from tax assessment growth from new homes and businesses, and $5.5 million paid by existing taxes. That amount represents
the 2.5 per cent increase set by city council. The city’s population continues to rise, but the number of police officers isn’t increasing in step, said Chief Charles Bordeleau. That ratio will start to catch up with us in 2015 and 2016, when the service plans to add 23 new members (both sworn and civilian) in each year. The police service is able to hire officers to make up for those retiring by finding cost savings elsewhere. A major one announced last month was the new collision reporting centre, which will open in 2013 and bring $600,000 in new revenue that year. That will rise to $800,000 in 2014. But most of the $2 million in savings the police found

Ridership estimates and service levels to remain the same Laura Mueller
laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news - A 2.5 per cent cap on OC Transpo fare hikes wouldn’t apply to fares for the city’s most vulnerable citizens. Community pass holders are set to pay 9.4 per cent more for their passes. Ticket prices would also go up to $3. That’s not listed as a fare increase in the proposed 2013 budget because it was approved last year, but the fare hike was put on hold due to delays in rolling out the Presto smart-card payment system. A regular trip using tickets currently costs $2.70. For Para Transpo users who have a community pass, those two increases combined will really add up for people like her, said Catherine Gardner, a former member of the defunct city advisory committee on accessibility issues. Gard-
ner said she personally thinks the community pass increase is justified because it hasn’t gone up for a few years, but combined with pricier tickets, which are needed to top up the fare for a Para Transpo trip, it’s a hefty increase for people on limited incomes, Gardner said. Otherwise, the draft transit budget mostly holds the line. Ridership is projected to remain steady at 102.4 million trips over a 12-month period. Riders experienced change last year with the “route optimization” exercise that will save OC Transpo $20 million a year, and more changes are on the horizon as construction of the light-rail line is set to get underway next year, so transit isn’t looking at big changes this year, said OC Transpo general manager John Manconi. The transit agency will see the full benefit of $8.9 million in annual savings thanks to the addition of 75 double-decker buses that started rolling out this year. After public consultations, city council is set to vote on the budget on Nov. 28.

Made using 100 percent pure soybean oil, the new Mercier Greenguard factory-finished flooring boasts zero VOC content (volatile organic compound), is hypoallergenic, antimicrobial and is the only flooring with the Greenguard School and Children certification available in all species, colors and finishes
(MS) -- Since most of an infant’s time is spent on the floor playing, crawling and discovering, more and more parents are now looking for flooring options that will minimize exposure to harmful allergens, germs and toxins. Allergen and germ collecting flooring options like carpet are now being overlooked for more hypoallergenic options such as natural hardwood flooring to diminish the risk of harmful exposure to their children. Discerning parents are now finding that there are even healthier options in hardwood flooring available that can help them take that extra step of precaution in protecting their child’s welfare. There’s a new hardwood floor so healthy and so eco-friendly that it actually was awarded the “Children and School certification” by world-renowned standards organization Greenguard. Canadian Manufacturer, Mercier Wood Flooring (www.mercierwoodflooring.com) has developed the cleanest, least harmful and most eco-friendly flooring available anywhere.

OPINION

Survey of parents finds homework stresses out children Continued from page 11
The majority of parents surveyed said they believe homework puts undue stress on children and families, takes away from family time and forces kids to be sitting still when they should be out running around. Moreover, the study found that the more homework children are exposed to in the early years of school, the less likely they are to approach it with enthusiasm in later
grades. To its credit, in the wake of the study and another similar study of teachers’ opinions on homework, The Toronto District School Board all but banned homework for primary school children, excepting special projects and daily reading. Other school boards have mandated what is widely known in education circles as “the 10-minute rule” – take the grade level of the child and multiply it by 10.
But timing out the homework may not be the only answer. One of the problems with the 10-minute rule, as noted by one of the study’s authors, Dr. Linda Cameron, on CBC’s The Current last month, is that teachers frequently miscalculate the time it takes various children to do the assigned homework. “We had parents saying, as young as kindergarten, children were taking hours to do what was assigned,” Cameron told the CBC.

And as author Annie Murphy Paul noted in the New York Times last year, “the quantity of students’ homework is a lot less important than its quality.” True.

EMC news - After looking at the impact of the September 2011 “route optimization” that axed service on many bus routes, the city is reversing some of the changes and adding more service. The temporary pilot project will study the effects of restoring service to customers who were disproportionately disadvantaged by the changes made last year, said transit commission chairwoman
Coun. Diane Deans. But OC Transpo general manager John Manconi warned riders not to get used to the service – it won’t last any longer than three months. The transit commission will then study the results of the program. The draft budget includes $500,000 for the study but Manconi said it will likely cost between $300,000 and $400,000. The project will look at ways to improve service for four groups that have been
hurt by the changes made last year: seniors, young people, riders trying to access the Ottawa Hospital’s General campus and workers heading to employment areas in the south end. “Those are segments that we want to put out there from the areas that have been identified as being … disproportionately affected by the route optimization,” Manconi said. Manconi kept the changes under wraps after revealing the study as part of the draft 2013 budget on Oct. 24, but a

Holocaust Education Month honours Swedish diplomat Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
EMC news - The Jewish Federation of Ottawa has joined with three embassies to honour a man known for saving the lives of thousands of Hungarian Jews during the Holocaust. Raoul Wallenberg was a Swedish diplomat sent to Hungary during the Second World War. This year marks the 100th anniversary of his birth. He was detained by the Soviet authorities following the siege of Budapest in 1945 and subsequently disappeared. “Wallenberg single-handedly saved 100,000 people,” said Mina Cohn, chair of the federation’s Shoah committee. “The Allies sent him to Budapest to stop the death machine.” Every November the Shoah or Holocaust committee organizes Holocaust Education Month to remember the lives of those who were lost and educate people to prevent something similar from happening. Cohn said she thought this year, on the anniversary of Wallenberg’s birth, it was important to commemorate his work. “The goal is to educate,” Cohn said.

The series of events was to be kicked off on Oct. 30 with a lecture by historian Karen Polak at the Agudath Israel congregation on Coldrey Avenue. Polak works with the Anne Frank House and was to give a lecture entitled Remembering, Reflecting and Responding – Young People’s Wartime Diaries. On Nov. 9 a tree planting ceremony will take place at Raoul Wallenberg Park on Viewmount Drive in memory of Kristallnacht, a series of attacks on Jews and their businesses and synagogues throughout Austria and Germany in 1938. Mayor Jim Watson and Swedish Ambassador Teppo Tauriainen will be on hand to mark the event. The official launch will be held at the Soloway Jewish Community Centre on Naldony Sachs Private on Nov. 10. Throughout the month there will be workshops for teachers to give them materials to teach students about Wallenberg and the Holocaust. Cohn said the training could be the background for a museum exhibit set to be unveiled in mid-November. The Swedish embassy will provide an exhibit called “To
Me There’s No Other Choice” – Raoul Wallenberg 19122012 at the Canadian War Museum. The exhibit is free to the public and also has some material provided by the Hungarian Embassy. Hungarian Ambassador László Pordány said the whole year is a commemoration in Hungary. “Every school child in Hungary knows the name of Wallenberg,” he said. In addition to the material provided for the exhibit, Aron Manthé, head of House of Terror Museum in Hungary will be one of the speakers at an international academic panel on Dec. 6 at the War Museum. The exhibit is set to open on Nov. 21. Yosi Aviram, of the Israeli Embassy, said the series of events this month is the result of a partnership between the embassies, the federation and the Shoah committee. “I think it’s important for children to learn about civil courage and the difference one person can make,” Aviram said.

EMC news - The Centretown Community Health Centre has received a boost in funding for its diabetes care programs. The health centre announced on Oct. 20 it will receive $774,686 in funding from the Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) and the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care for its diabetes care programming. The centre has addressed diabetes prevention, education and care as a priority, and was pleased with the financial support. “When we can detect issues early, people receive timely appropriate care and can prevent complications, such as vision loss, amputation and other serious conditions,” said Simone Thibault, executive director of the Centretown Community Health Centre. This funding is in addition to money the centre has received over the past two years from the health network and the provincial government for diabetes programming. The Centretown Community Health Centre has been working to improve health care for people living with diabetes in the community as
part of the Ontario diabetes strategy. The program focuses on prevention and education, and helps reduce health-care costs related to living with diabetes and diabetes-related illnesses. The funding is said to add more support from nurses, dieticians, chiropodists and outreach workers. Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi attended the event, on behalf of the McGuinty government. “Improving the prevention and management of diabetes is a key priority for our government. The Champlain Diabetes Regional Coordination Centre and the Community Diabetes Education team at the Centretown Community Health Centre are having a positive impact on the health of our community by allowing residents to get the right care when and where they need it, and helping those with diabetes, or at risk to develop diabetes, live healthy, active lives.” Naqvi said. The announcement took place during the launch of the Champlain Diabetes SCREEN project, a program which provides screening of diabetes and related diabetes illnesses to high-risk immigrant communities.

Ottawa yogis pose for MS calendar Yoga teacher creates calendar to help raise awareness, money michelle.nash@metroland.com
EMC news - From the moment Natalie Van Tassel found out her 23-year-old son had multiple sclerosis, she made a vow to work every day to raise funds and awareness about the disease. Her first fundraising effort already displays her dedication to the cause. In four short months, the mother of two produced a calendar to sell with all the proceeds to go towards the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada’s Ottawa Chapter. The 2013 Yoga for Multiple Sclerosis calendar showcases yogis from across Ottawa in yoga poses. Van Tassel, who is Miss February in the calendar, is a yoga teacher. “Yoga is all about meditation and breathing; it slows down your nervous system and allows you to be mindful of the present moment. It helps keep them mobile, it offers them strength,” she said. Van Tassel reached out to the yoga community and asked her fellow yogis if they would be interested in posing for a calendar. She said the response was overwhelming, with more available models than the number of the months
in the year. The calendar is a result of the collaborations of Van Tassel and her friend and photographer Donna Sarazin. “She is very talented and wanted the exposure. I originally offered to pay her for her services, but Donna (Sarazin) said she wanted to volunteer her time for the cause,” Van Tassel said. Van Tassel and Sarazin scouted out areas and then booked times the other yogis could come to pose for the photos. “It was important to have the project completed by October to give (us) time to sell them by the end of the year,” she said. The result is 12 photos of local yoga instructors posing in local venues, parks and streets. From Rockliffe Park to Westboro and Orléans to Aylmer, the eager yogis donated their time to the cause. “Each photo shoot would take about four to five hours, it was amazing the dedication everyone had,” Van Tassel said. Van Tassel’s son, Oliver, had just graduated from university when his first multiple sclerosis attack occured. Van Tassel said she feared her son, who was only 23, could be suffering from MS, but had
hoped she was wrong. Then Oliver suffered from another attack, with the symptoms again pointing towards MS. He was diagnosed with the disease in June. Van Tassel said she always thought MS affected people in their 40s, not young children. What Van Tassel did not know and quickly learned is it affects people as early as 14 years old. Emotional when speaking about her son’s disease, Van Tassel admits the first few weeks were extremely hard and she was constantly angry and sad. The yoga calendar, she said, helped her heal. “Grieving and being angry, that is easy to do. But that is not going to help anybody, and it is definitely not going to help my son,” she said. The project gave her a goal to reach to help her son and the organization she depended on in those first few months after Oliver’s diagnosis. Van Tassel’s son lives in Montreal with his father, she said. The Quebec government’s ministry of health covers his medical costs, which is around $30,000 a year. Although she misses her son, she said she is happy he is being looked after, but knows not everyone is so lucky to have their

All the proceeds will go towards the cause. The calendar is available for purchase online at yogafor-ms.myshopify.com.

Gallery exhibit features Beaverbrook artist Jessica Cunha
jessica.cunha@metroland.com
EMC news - The Kanata Civic Art Gallery will feature work by Brian Gallup in its next exhibit, which runs from Nov. 14 to Jan. 4. The longtime Gallery member uses bright colours in acrylics to create pieces of artwork that immediately draw the eye to the page. “I think his work adds a vibrancy we don’t always see here (at the Gallery),” said member Judi Miller. Gallup wasn’t always a painter; he studied sociology in university before taking a job in biomechanical engineering. He was involved in the world’s first motorcycle accident study, and is the coinventor of both the gas mask and bomb suits used by the military. He picked up a paintbrush for the first time since high school in 1992 – after he lost his job. The burned out engineer was told to pack up and leave by his boss, who was also Gallup’s personal friend. “I was pretty well toast,” said Gallup after years of witnessing and documenting motorcycle accidents. “I picked up a paintbrush… and I thought, ‘That was kind of neat.’” COLOUR
Gallup, who was born in Quebec City, describes himself as a “colourist” for his use of bright paints, and calls his work “naive” and “simplistic.” “The canvas is nothing more than a vehicle for colour,” said the Beaverbrook resident, who joined the art gallery in 2001. Gallup said many of his paintings are from memory – he prefers to work with what he’s seen instead of from a

Laurentian Village and the other The Narrows, are both inspired by Newfoundland. “They remind me of a much happier time, a much simpler time…going all over the place,” he said of his paintings. “Getting there was half the fun.” The gallery’s newest exhibit, titled “Little Treasures,” will also feature 20 by 20 centimetre canvases by a number of artists. “It’s a real honour and a privilege,” said Gallup about
being the feature artist. “It’s fun.” The Kanata Civic Art Gallery is located at 2500 Campeau Dr., in the Mlacak Centre. For more information and hours of operation, visit kanatagallery.ca.
Brian Gallup’s paintings, including Laurentian Village, of which a small portion is pictured here, will be featured at the Kanata Civic Art Gallery.

Adoption is an Option for Children and Youth in Care
Your Community Newspaper
Last year, approximately 80 children and youth were adopted through the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa (CASO). What does this mean? It means that these children and youth are part of a family. It means they have a place to call home. It means they have a greater chance at success. It’s the beginning of a new adventure – a positive one. Adoption through CASO is referred to as a public adoption. Individuals interested in adopting are provided with access to training, support services pre and post adoption, as well as additional on-going assistance. CASO places a lot of importance on finding the best match for the children and youth in their care and welcome diversity in adoptive parents – including people who are single or partnered, from all cultural, racial, ethnic and religious backgrounds and are financially able to manage the additional family member(s). Most importantly, CASO looks for people who are willing to commit to a permanent lifetime relationship with a child or youth.

titled Holy Trinity Style, was entered in the University of Ottawa’s video contest to find the best French class in the province. “Our teacher brought up the U of O contest,” said Victor Borba, a student in Pivato’s class. “I had the idea to make a remake of Gangnam Style; some people in the class never had seen it before. The class watched it and loved it, and that’s where it all started.” Victor, 16, recorded, mixed, co-directed and edited the video. The entire class collaborated on the French lyrics. The students sing about how they are the best French class because they respect everyone, work together, have lots of enthusiasm, and help others find their place at the high school.

Trinity student a finalist in composer contest jessica.cunha@metroland.com
EMC news - Bridlewood resident Victor Borba is a finalist in the second annual Conservatory Canada Creative Composer’s Competition. The Holy Trinity Catholic High School student’s original piano piece, A Change of Heart, is one of six entries vying for the top spot in the competition. “I hope people have a chance to listen to all six compositions and decide (to vote) based on what they feel,” said Victor. The inspiration for A Change of Heart came from the American metal band Dream Theatre. “My inspiration for this song in particular was the band Dream Theater, and more specifically the solo work of their keyboardist, Jordan Rudess,” said Victor, who according to his YouTube bio, has been playing the piano since he was four. He first wrote A Change of Heart more than a year ago. Earlier this year, he revised the musical composition and reposted it online. “Most people say that they are inspired by something in
VICTOR BORBA particular when they write a song,” he said. “But for me, I find a cool musical idea, build on it, and that’s how I make music.” Victor was also responsible for editing the Holy Trinity Style video that has been viewed more than 21,000 times on YouTube. SOCIAL MEDIA
The public can choose the winner of the contest by voting for their favourite entry on the Creative Composer’s Competition Facebook page until Nov. 10. “This year, we decided to use social media to generate even more excitement and awareness about the contest,” said Victoria Warwick, Conservatory Canada national executive director, in a press
release. “I think people will be amazed by what they hear, and I encourage everyone to vote and share the page.” The six finalists are: • Victor Borba, from Kanata. • Catherine He, from Toronto. • Matthew Emery, from London, Ont. • Philip Manning, from Victoria. • Jacob Ridgway, from Edmonton. • Sydney Griffith, from Kamloops, B.C. The first place winner will receive a $500 gift card from Long & McQuade and a digital recorder. Winning compositions will also be included in a new Mayfair Music publication. “Conservatory Canada is delighted to support and encourage the next generation of Canadian composers by providing them with critical feedback from professionals in the field, and by presenting their work to the public,” Warwick said. More than 100 entries were submitted from across the country. The winners will be announced at Conservatory Canada’s national convocation, held Nov. 24 in London, Ont.
Children at Risk’s annual pumpkin prize auction draws some interesting entries at Merivale Mall on Oct. 25. Local media – including Metroland Media, which owns the KourierStandard – businesses, and politicians donate carved pumpkins and prizes for the fundraiser.

Kanata Theatre
EMC entertainment - Every year at this time, we remember the young men and women whose sacrifices in the two Great Wars of the 20th century made possible the security and freedom we enjoy today. We remember them especially by recalling the iconic battles of those wars. For the First World War, the “Great War,” the names that echo through history are those of Passchendaele, Ypres, Vimy Ridge, the Somme. Kanata Theatre’s new production of Stephen Massicotte’s award-winning play, Mary’s Wedding throws its spotlight on a less well known battle, that of Moreuil Wood in France, which blunted the German spring offensive in 1918 and may have hastened the conclusion of the war seven months later. Although the Germans kept possession of Moreuil Wood, they did so at such heavy cost in lives that they discontinued their offensive a few days later. One of the truly distinctive features of the allied operation was the charge, described by some as the “Last Great Cavalry Charge,” of the Canadian cavalry regiment, Lord Strathcona’s Horse. The starting point for the play is the parallel seen by the playwright between the charge at Moreuil Wood and a more famous charge 64 years earlier by the British cavalry during the Crimean War in the Battle of Balaclava, immortalized by Lord Tennyson in his poem The Charge of the Light Brigade.

Emily Walsh and Nicholas Maillet perform in Mary’s Wedding, which will debut at the Ron Maslin Theatre on Nov. 6. In that work the poet extols the bravery of the British force, the “six hundred,” while questioning the competence of the officers who ordered their doomed and futile charge. Drawn into this pageant of forces beyond human control or comprehension are three people: two young lovers, Mary (played by Emily Walsh) and Charlie (played by Nicholas Maillet) as well as Charlie’s friend and commanding officer Lt. Flowers, a historical character who received the Victoria Cross for his actions in the events described in the play. Mary and Charlie sym-
bolize many similar people caught up in conflict. Their tender relationship is carried on over distances that even today seem long and must at the time have seemed unbridgeable. Mary’s Wedding, directed by Wendy Wagner, runs in the Ron Maslin Playhouse, 1 Ron Maslin Way in Walter Baker Park, just off Terry Fox Drive, Tuesday to Saturday Nov. 6 to 10 and Nov. 13 to 17. Tickets are $20. The curtain call is at 8 p.m. sharp. The box office is 613 831 4435. For information visit the website www.kanatatheatre.com.

Centretown author Jamison Findlay won the 2012 Ottawa Book Award for English fiction for his book The Summer of Permanent Wants.
Centretown novelist named best in Ottawa Ottawa Book Awards recognize city’s writers brier.dodge@metroland.com
EMC news - Ottawa’s most creative literary talents gathered at the Shenkman Arts Centre on Oct. 24 to hand out the 2012 awards for the city’s best books. The 2012 Ottawa Book Awards were given for English fiction, English non-fiction and French fiction. There was no non-fiction French award given this year. The event was MC-ed by Charlotte Gray, an Ottawa biographer and historian, and Martin Vanasse from RadioCanada. Mayor Jim Watson and Coun. Shad Qadri presented the awards. “Tonight we shine the spotlight on a vibrant, bilingual, literary community,” Watson said. “We don’t have to look far to find world-class talent.” The English fiction award was presented to Centretown author Jamison Findlay for his book The Summer of Permanent Wants. The book is about an 11year-old girl who loses her voice and sets off with her grandmother on a trip down the Rideau Canal in a boat, which is also a bookstore. “When I consider the roster of talent, I was totally overwhelmed,” Findlay said. “It feels really good to be
recognized.” The award for French fiction went to an author from Beacon Hill, Estelle Beauchamp. Beauchamp was honoured for her book Un soufflé venu de loin, which has also won a provincial Trillium Book Award. For English non-fiction, the list of authors and their credentials was impressive, ranging from Robert E. Fowler, who was foreign policy adviser to prime ministers Trudeau, Turner and Mulroney, to Craig Oliver, the chief parliamentary correspondent for CTV. The 2012 English non-fiction Book Award went to Ruth B. Phillips for Museum Pieces: Toward the Indigenization of Canadian Museums. “(This is) owed to a great extent, to me living for 40 years in this city,” she said. “This is a museum city; it has a remarkable combination.” The Archibald Lampman Award for Poetry was also presented by Chris Jennings from the Arc Poetry Society to Michael Blouin for Wore Down Trust. The winners were chosen by a group of three jurors for each category and each finalist received a cash prize. “They bring words to life for the residents of Ottawa and worldwide,” Watson said.

SERVING KANATA NORTH
City Councillor, Kanata North SUBMITTED
The cast of the Lakeside Players’ production of the classic pantomime Puss in Boots is seen following a recent rehearsal. Curtains open on this year’s panto – the theatre troupe’s 20th – on Nov. 8 at the Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre.
Lakeside Players mark 20 years of pantomime EMC news - With winter on its way, the Lakeside Players think laughter just might be the best way to stay warm. The non-profit community theatre troupe is currently wrapping up rehearsals on its 20th year of pantomime performance, with curtains set to raise starting on Nov. 8. As a fitting way of marking two decades of staging traditional British pantos, the players have chosen an appropriate play, the classic tale of Puss in Boots. With a cast of 29 adults and 14 youths, the panto incorporates all of the elements that have made these plays popular for centuries. “A panto is a slapstick, pie-in-the-face-type take on a fairy tale,” said Lakeside Players president Harrold Swaffield. “In traditional British panto the male lead is typically played by a woman, with a man playing the female lead.” Mix cross-dressing with cheeky innuendo, jokes, a fast pace and a clear sense of who’s good and who’s bad, panto has all the ingredients for an experience that involves a good dose of audience participation. Many of these elements may appear familiar to fans of the classic Monty Python TV and film series. While the Lakeside Players have been performing since 990, it wasn’t until a few years later that they staged their first panto. The reason was simple – no one was doing it in Ottawa. “We decided this was a genre we should start giving to the people,” said Swaffield, adding it was a genre that in-
corporated youth of all ages into the cast. “Typically there is a cast of 20 to 30 youth, ages five to 13 or 14.” The players have always encouraged participation by local youth and a panto allows for many more children to take part as compared to a typical stage play. Many youth involved in past productions have gone on to study acting and theatre as a result of their involvement. This fast-paced panto promises to keep all actors on their toes. Puss in Boots takes place in a foreign land called Marmaladia, with the story revolving around the characters of King Marmaduke (played by Swaffield) and his wife, Queen Marmadutchess. To better engage the audience, references to certain places and things will be changed to reflect the panto’s Ottawa surroundings. Given that a panto holds appeal for both young and mature audiences, Swaffield has high hopes for the success of Puss in Boots, which runs from Nov. 8 to 11. The cast has been rehearsing since the second week of September and past pantos have been well-received by audiences at the players’ Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre theatre. Tickets for Puss in Boots
can be purchased at tickets@ lakesideplayers.com or by
calling the ticket office at 613667-2224.

Local artist returns from Arctic adventure Sarah Poirier
EMC news - Local artist Brenda Beattie spent two weeks this summer in the north as part of Parks Canada’s artist in residence program. The trip of a lifetime took her to a part of Canada most Canadians will never visit, allowed her to learn about Inuit culture and history, and spend 10 days doing what she loves: painting. Her adventure began in Inuvik, N.W.T., where four artists from across Canada met with two Inuit artists and three Parks Canada guides. After an orientation of the park, bear safety training, and a tour of
Inuvik, the group flew in a Twin Otter plane to Ivvavik National Park in the northwest corner of the Yukon. “The views were amazing as we flew over the MacKenzie Delta, reached the Arctic Ocean and then flew along the coast before heading inland,” said Beattie. “The landing was a different story: it was a cloud of dust, (and) bumpy, with lots of yelling.” When Beattie retired from Statistics Canada, she never dreamed she would live in a tent for 10 days, each one filled with 24 hours of daylight. Thick clouds of bugs appeared as the temperature

rose. The hikes were steep and long and each visitor had daily chores to complete. But each challenge allowed Beattie to appreciate the rugged beauty of her surroundings in the park. The park is bordered by Alaska and the Arctic Ocean, 170 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle. It is home to the Porcupine caribou herd. Living in the tent village meant being very close to the animals. Artists also had to be careful to completely close each zipper to keep out the gophers, known as sik sik in Inuvuluik. The sik sik were known for stealing dirty socks and fighting over them. During one hike, a group of artists saw a grizzly bear across the river. “Our guide told us we weren’t in much danger because of the water,” says Beattie. “But a short time later we found fresh tracks on our side of the river and had to return to base camp.” Beattie also had an interesting encounter with a group of dall sheep. On a trip to the park’s only outhouse at 4 a.m., she stumbled across the sheep but didn’t have her camera with her. She managed to sneak back to her tent, open the inner and outer zippers, rummage for her cell phone and snap

In the past 11 years, the fair has grown from 17 tables in one small room, to over 130 tables in three rooms throughout the school. “It’s all about everyone coming together,” said Patti Koeslag, the convenor of the community event. A number of community
groups are being supported, including the Grands and Friends. The local group of women raise funds and awareness on behalf of the grandmothers of Africa who are raising orphaned grandchildren due to the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Many members are Catholic school board employees and retirees who do classroom visits to educate students about Africa’s realities. Every year, the Kanata Food Cupboard also benefits through All Saints’s craft fair. Admission to the event is $1
or one non-perishable item. As well, the school’s Victoria’s Quilts group will receive funds. In past years, funds have been donated to many other social justice initiatives, including a birthing centre in Africa and a community centre in Brazil; school clubs such as the Dominican Republic Experience, a team of students who go to the Dominican to help poor communities; and a First Nation’s reserve. Vendors will be selling everything from jewellery, mitts, hats, slippers, candles, teas,
soaps, honey, woodworking items, aprons, tree skirts, Christmas ornaments, tutus, block lights and more. A supervised child’s play area, café and raffle are just some of the added features of the event. All Saints’ annual craft fair will be held on Saturday, Nov. 3, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the school, located at 5115 Kanata Ave.

Autumn BOnuS Offer! BUDGET 2013 Last week the Mayor released the Draft 2013 Budget. This budget delivers the lowest annual tax increase in six years by recommending a 2.09% tax rate which is below the 2.39% increase in 2012 and the 2.45% increase in 2011. This budget is a reflection of the balancing act between maintaining service levels while finding savings to offset the cost increase of delivering those services. I believe we have found a consensus on this and I support the proposal.
OC TRANSPO IMPROVEMENTS I continue to work with staff to improve the OC Transpo service to Kanata South. I am pleased to announce some changes that will improve the service for many users. After the introduction of the first eight double-decker buses into regular service on October 15, OC Transpo now has more double-decker busses ready to enter service. Kanata South residents can now benefit from five double-decker trips on express route 61 and two on express route 62. In the early part of 2013, additional double-deckers will be assigned to busy trips on express routes 61, 62 and 66. As more doubledecker busses are introduced to the system, the articulated busses that they are replacing will be moved to busy trips on other routes, where they will provide more capacity than the 40-foot buses they will replace. Routes 96 and 118 for example will see articulated busses replace higher capacity trips that are currently served by 40-foot busses.
SUPPORT OUR VETERANS November 11th is an important day where we recognize and honour our Veterans for the sacrifice they made to our country and for our freedom. The poppy, a symbol of remembrance, raises millions of dollars annually. All poppy money collected by a Legion branch stays within that local community and pays for medical equipment, home services and long-term care facilities for ex-service people in need of financial assistance. Please show your support by wearing a poppy and donating to your local Legion. I will be helping to distribute poppies at Costco this Saturday from 11:30-2pm, at the Hazeldean mall on the 8th from 12:00pm-3:00pm, and at the Superstore on the 9th from 6:00pm-9:00pm.

Work on Stonehaven is progressing very well. Residents can now get a sense of what the finished project will look like and how it will improve their daily commute. I want to thank everyone who has taken the time to share their views on the project and I want to thank Urbandale for front ending the cost of the roundabout so that residents did not have to endure construction for several years. I will continue to challenge our traffic specialists to find ways to improve traffic conditions within our Ward.

Mosquito Knights advance to championship Kanata Knights Football Club
EMC sports - The Kanata Knights Football Club went 2-2 in the semifinals of the National Capital Amateur Football Association semifinals last weekend. The mosquito Knights defeated the Cornwall Wildcats 36-20 at Robert Barr Football Field in Kanata on Oct. 28. The peewee Knights also won in their semifinal matchup against the Nepean Knights by a score of 20-8 at home on Oct. 28. The tyke Knights lost at home 27-6 to the Bell Warriors on Oct. 26, while the midget team lost a squeaker on the same day to the BelAir Norseman by a score of 18-15. The mosquito Knights will play the North Gloucester Giants on Thursday, Nov. 1, during the league’s Championship Week, hosted by the Cumberland Panthers at Millennium Field from Oct. 30 to Nov. 4. MOSQUITO
Neither the cold, nor the rain, nor the mud underfoot could stop the Knights from driving to an impressive 36-20 victory in their semifinal playoff game against the Cornwall Wildcats on a very wet Robert Barr field on Oct. 28. Both the offense and defense were firing on all cylinders throughout the game and once they took an early lead, there was no looking back. Neall Hards, head coach, told the team, “I am extremely proud of your efforts today as a team, but we are not done yet. We need to follow through and complete the battle and leave no doubt that we are true warriors of the game.” Given the wet muddy conditions, it was difficult for the offence to get their footing, but nevertheless there were some fantastic plays including a 90-yard run for a touchdown recorded by running back David Wardowski, who finished the game with 174 yards rushing on eight carries, including two touchdowns and five first downs. Equally impressive was
Connor Ogilvie, who rushed for 156 yards on 16 carries, including two touchdowns and six first downs. The Knights also pulled from their bag of tricks a play they had employed in a previous game with similar wet muddy conditions - the socalled “mud wedge” where quarterback Jared Valentino and the offensive line get in a tight formation and use pure power and momentum to gain positive yardage. Valentino managed to rush for 50 yards doing this and recording a touchdown. On kicking, Britton Quirk contributed three converts to help out the team, and also delivered a few impressive long punts. Defensively, all the players contributed towards shutting down the Wildcats offence which at times struggled to deal with the defensive onslaught. Jarod Wakeman, with his face and body caked in mud, led the charge, repeating his quarterfinal performance recording yet another two fumble recoveries and a blocked kick, and also combined with Justin Malloy to both recorded a punishing 13 tackles each which made for a few muddy cats. Other notable defensive efforts were put in by Fiore Clark, Connor Sigouin, Tyrese Brown, Shabach Kerr, Corey Bolivar, and Sebeastian Vienneau who combined for an additional 30 tackles. It was a spirited effort by all and the team is looking forward to the championship game against the North Gloucester Giants on Nov.1.
rick Massia, Brady Tran and Liam Quinton who kept the ball moving and pushing the line. Throughout the season offensive support from Antonio Albery, Liam MacInnis, Garrett Kirk, Brett Campbell, Sandro Idone, Patrick Heika, Connor Spero, Braiden D’Aoust. Trey Russell-Johnson, Nick Beer and Dylan Marshall were key and helped the Knights secure their four and four regular season record. Once again the Knights’ defence proved their mettle, pushing the Redskins back and making them work for their points. Michael Kraeker, Alex Polataiko, Dylan Lachance, Wilson, Thomas Patridge and Dylan Walker led the line in blocking, tackling and running down the ball to keep the Knights in the game. Proving matches aren’t won on points alone, defensive players Charles Huynh, Stewart Melville, Gavin Goyette, Duncan McDonald, Chris Fitzpatrick, Dante Bourbonnais, Scott Robinson, Ryan Miskelly, Jordan Porter, Evan Wilson, Tristen Hubley and Alex Whibley ensured every game was a battle to be won and that there was a point to be proven.

Kanata Lakes man helps shape life of a rising soccer star Eddie Rwema
eddie.rwema@metroland.com
EMC sports - Fifteen-yearold Richard Parker hasn’t lived the life of an average Canadian boy. From losing his father while living in a refugee camp in Ghana to moving to Ottawa’s Ledbury Banff neighbourhood, where he lived until he was 13, Richard’s life has been one of hardship and survival. The south Ottawa neighbourhood was plagued by violence and drug and gang activity, something that could have easily led Parker to fall into the wrong crowd. But he chose a different path. Richard was a Grade 4 student at Charles Hulse Public School when Kanata Lakes based Grade 6 teacher Patrick Mascoe discovered the boy had a great talent. “One day I was walking out on the schoolyard and I saw this little boy standing on top of the soccer ball,” said Mascoe. It was then that Mascoe ap-
proached Richard and asked him if he could enter a crosscountry meet. “He took off and ran as fast as he could and took a big lead on everyone, and I was like, I am going to have to pick him up later because he was going to be dead tired by the time he finishes the two-kilometre run,” said Mascoe. To Mascoe’s surprise, Richard didn’t give up the lead and ended up winning the race. While Richard was a star in almost every sport, soccer was his greatest love. Mascoe saw Richard’s determination and offered to help him join a soccer club. “I connected with him and I got him in my class, with hopes of taking him as far as we could in soccer,” said Mascoe. “His parents at the time were not overly supportive; he was kind of left on his own and that is when I started taking him for soccer practices.” Making a decision to stick to soccer is one Richard said he will never regret. “I have been playing soccer for a while now. Mascoe is the

one that has been helping me out,” he said. Richard started off with Ottawa Internationals Soccer Club. “While there, my coach thought I was too advanced. He suggested I try out with the Ottawa Fury,” he said. In his first season with the Fury, Richard was the Super Y-League top scorer. Super Y-League, is a North America-wide league that pits some of the continent’s best young players against each other in league play. “We had a great squad and we won most of our games,” he said. His involvement with the Ottawa Fury made it possible for him to compete regularly and allowed him to secure a position on Team Ontario. At age 13, Richard moved from Ledbury to Toronto in order to train full time with the provincial team while at the same time attending a special sports school. “I am looking forward to becoming a professional player, but to get there you have to sacrifice,” said Richard, which is why he decided to leave his home to go to Toronto, where he now lives in foster care. “One of the sacrifices I made was to leave Ottawa, move to Toronto, and live with someone I barely knew at 13. It is not easy,” he said. Richard was a member of
the U15 Team Ontario that won gold at the 2012 national All-Stars tournament this past summer in Newfoundland. He is just doing fantastic ever since, said Mascoe. INSPIRATION
Mascoe hopes Parker’s story can inspire more kids from vulnerable neighourhoods. “He is a kid out of Ledbury who has really turned his life
around,” he said. “I think he would be just a great model for the other kids in Ledbury. I am really proud of him.” Mascoe said the future looks good for Richard. “Life for him has never been easy. He has gone through a hard time, but he’s been able to overcome and work hard,” said Mascoe. Richard recalls that when he lived in Ledbury it was
known as one of the worst neighbourhoods in Ottawa. “Most of the kids my age were joining gangs. It was bad living there, and a couple of times we could hear gunshots,” he said. “If I didn’t have Mascoe and soccer, I think my life would have been different now. I chose a different path at a young age. I chose to play soccer and to go to school.”

Hudak demands Liberals put legislature back to work Eddie Rwema

Ontario is in trouble and people are losing hope. TIM HUDAK PC LEADER
The prorogation issue dominated the meeting that was held at Ottawa’s RA Centre. Hudak added his party is doing everything it legally can to get the legislature opened again, but noted that prorogation is at the discretion of the premier.

Ontario Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak says he is open to all possible options to put the legislature back to work. “Just because they are hiding under their desks doesn’t mean they are going to get off the hook on this,” said Hudak. In a surprise move after nine years in power, on Oct. 15, McGuinty announced he was stepping down as premier. His announcement came amid opposition accusations that he misled the legislature over power plant cancellations that will cost taxpayers upwards of $230 million and pressure from teachers’ unions over his efforts to freeze their wages and take away their ability to strike. But McGuinty cited party “renewal” and the opposition’s blocking of a publicsector wage freeze bill as his reasons for stepping aside. Hudak said the prorogation was wrong, especially at a time when there is so much at stake in Ontario. “We are at a crucial tipping point and we are losing jobs. Ontario is in trouble and people are losing hope,”
he said. “We are not just opposing; we are proposing bold ideas like cutting taxes, and balancing the books and bringing more trades in the province – a bold agenda that will see Ontario lead this great country again.” While Hudak was addressing his party members, a handful of demonstrators staged a rally outside the RA Centre, protesting Bill 115 legislation, that freezes teachers’ wages, bans strikes for two years and prevents them from banking sick days. “We are here because the Conservatives not only supported the bill, but they want to make even (more) drastic cuts. They are going after unions and we’ll not stand for it,” said Elizabeth Kettle, member of the Ottawa Carleton Elementary Teachers’ Federation. “Our message to Tim Hudak: you need to stop now, do the right thing, get back to the legislature and repeal Bill 115.”

EMC news - Some Ontario Progressive Conservative party members have blasted their leader for not being tough enough to force the Liberal government to put the Ontario legislature back to work. While PC Leader Tim Hudak insisted that there was no reason why MPPs can’t be at work now focusing on jobs and balancing the books, his followers urged him to be more aggressive and proactive at a town-hall meeting in Premier Dalton McGuinty’s riding of Ottawa South on Oct. 24. “What I think needs to happen ... is: let’s take him to court and sue him for the illegal closure of legislature...” said one man at the meeting. “Look like you are proactive in trying to get it back. Not these talks because this is not going to bring the legislature back,” he said. Hudak fired back saying he is doing everything possible to put the legislature back in session. “We are not going to let them go away with this,” he said.

National poppy campaign officially launched Pin a poppy, learn history at downtown art exhibit michelle.nash@metroland.com
EMC news - The 2012 national poppy campaign is officially underway. The poppy, a symbol of remembrance for more than 90 years now, launched the 2012 National Poppy Campaign on Oct. 24 at Rideau Hall. Gov. Gen. David Johnston and his wife Sharon were joined by the Royal Canadian Legion’s grand president Larry Murray and the dominion president of the Royal Canadian Legion Gordon Moore. “I find it hard to imagine a more appropriate cause,” Johnston said. Pinned with the first poppy of the campaign, Johnston said the campaign renews the solemn bond with veterans, past and present. “This small, scarlet flower speaks volumes about the sacrifices of Canadian soldiers and veterans, and it starkly reminds us of the tragedy of war,” Johnston said. Murray, who thanked the Governor General for his ongoing support for the Canadian Forces, and his personal
engagement in the campaign, noted the importance of wearing a single poppy over one’s heart.
This small, scarlet flower speaks volumes about the sacrifices of Canadian soldiers and veterans. GOVERNOR GENERAL DAVID JOHNSTON
“Whether World War 1, World War 2, Korea, the many peace support operations since including the war in Afghanistan and the recent conflict in Libya, survivors and fallen heroes alike may take comfort in our efforts to remember,” Murray said. The event welcomed veterans from the Second World War and the Korean and Afghanistan wars. “That the First World War wasn’t, in fact, the last war speaks to the fact that our veterans and their loved ones have continued to make sacrifices in the decades since,”
he said. “In war and in peacetime, members of the Canadian Forces have been steadfast in their service to our country.” Johnston personally welcomed and handed out poppies to some of the Second World War veterans in attendance, taking the time to speak to each person individually. The governor general also encouraged everyone to visit the national honours exhibit, located at 90 Wellington St. The exhibit, From Far and Wide: Honouring Great Canadians opened in May and showcases Canada’s national honours and the contributions of Canadians. Sharon, Murray and Moore all received a poppy at the launch, with poppies becoming available to the general public beginning on Oct. 26. The symbol of the poppy was adopted in 1921 recognizing the 117, 000 Canadian men and women who gave their lives during military service around the world. Each year, 18 million poppies are distributed across Canada.

EMC news - The arrival of November brings a change to our home landscapes as the bright colours of fall start to disappear. We start to look for ways to keep things looking attractive and cheerful into the winter months. One way to accomplish that is to decorate the exterior of our homes with natural greenery. On Tuesday, Nov. 6, the Kanata-March Horticultural Society welcomes Sue and Tim Dyer of the Carp Garden Centre, who will present Wreaths and Winter Arrangements from Natural Materials. They will provide a step-bystep demonstration on how to make fresh wreaths, Christmas planters and centrepieces. Special attention is given to freshness of the greenery, ob-
taining peripheral supplies at minimal cost, using natural and manufactured decorative materials, as well as incorporating unconventional plant material, especially into wreaths. The meeting will be held on Nov. 6 from 7:30 to 9 p.m. at the Old Town Hall, 821 March Rd. The entrance to the Old Town Hall is on Klondike Road. There is a $5 fee for non-members. Our society members are gardeners from novice to expert in experience, who share a common love of plants, gardening and take pride in their homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s landscaping. We feature guest speakers each month on a variety of topics, and help beautify the community through maintenance of the Molly Wilson garden at the Old Town Hall. Visit www. kanata-horticultural.com for a listing of the 2012 program.

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!
