Draft ‘strategic directions’ a potential plan for Preston-Carling laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - A framework for how tall buildings could rise at the entrance to Little Italy was green-lit by the planning committee on March 26.

But two of the concepts proposed in the draft “strate-

gic directions” for the Preston-Carling district were put on hold for more study: the “greenway mews” concept of private roads and the possibility of a new bridge overt he O-Train tracks at Hickory and Young.

Those concepts need more detailed studies, the committee decided.

O awa South News O awa West News Nepean-Barrhaven News Vision for denser Little Italy moves forward The Renfrew Mercury Putting the mews idea on ice pleased community representatives who waited out a marathon planning committee meeting to have their say. The mews plan would allow for mid-rise residential development with a series of private roads running north-south along the east side of the OTrain corridor.

“Adding to the road network runs counter to the notion of building transit- and pedestrian-oriented communities,” said Michael Powell, president of the Dalhousie Community Association, adding that turning developable residential land into roads amounts to “failed, 1960s-era thinking.”

The community association isn’t a fan of the plan to allow buildings of up to nine sto-

reys along the O-Train, either.

Powell said the area could easily achieve density targets and become home to more than twice its current population over time by having fourstorey buildings instead.

Somerset Coun. Diane Holmes said she and the community associations will work to have the mews and bridge permanently from the plans.

EMC news - Despite being sidelined since an early-season injury, Senators defenceman Erik Karlsson is still a hero to his fans when off the ice, as shown by the rock-star reception he got from the kids of the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa.

Karlsson and his wife Therese joined Sens president and chief executive Cyril Leeder at the organization’s Dumaurier Avenue headquarters on March 27 to announce the couple will serve as spokespersons for the club.

Therese volunteers in the organization’s cooking club.

Karlsson, 22, had his Achilles tendon severed during a game against the New Jersey Devils on Feb. 13, and has been in rehabilitation since.

Macmillan finished his introduction of the special guests with a message directed as much to the children in the room as the adults.

“We all share one thing – our motto is ‘belong, believe and achieve’ – and I think each and every one of us, and all the adults in the room, love belonging to the Boys and Girls Club. We love being part of it. We really believe in each and every one of you, and celebrate all of your accomplishments and achievements.”

Leeder commented on the long history his organization has had with the club, calling it “an exciting day” for the Senators.

mandate.

Association president Guy Lachapelle said the community would be partnering with the Somerset West Community Health Centre for the initiative. The centre already operates programming out of the Laroche Park fieldhouse.

“It’s a day devoted to activities in the park,” said Lachapelle. “It allows people in the neighbourhood to mingle and get to know each other.”

Mechanicsville Day has a history that dates back to the 1920s, when residents of the working-class neighbourhood would organize a summer “field day” for children and their parents.

As Keith Brown, former president of the now defunct Laroche Park Community Association, wrote in a Sept. 6, 2012 edition of Newswest Online, “Tom Brown was the driving force in developing Laroche Park and organizing many of the recreational and social activities that (took) place in the park and the community.”

A 1950s committee eventually turned into the first iteration of the Mechanicsville Community Association, writes Brown, which sponsored Mechanicsville Days from the 1970s to the turn of the century.

Money raised from the events

helped fund park improvements and a breakfast program at Connaught Public School.

During the March 23 meeting, the Mechanicsville Community Association announced that funds received from developers of several approved Parkdale high-rises through Section 37 and cash-in-lieu-of-parkland benefits would assist in upgrading the facilities and amenities of Laroche Park, while providing the association with money for community activities.

Lorrie Marlow, chairwoman of the Mechanicsville recreation subcommittee, will be the chief organizer of the newly resurrected Mechanicsville Day. Marlow is requesting the help of volunteers in planning and executing the fun day.

Like the Mechanicsville Days of yore, the event will feature a community barbecue, live music and activities for all ages.

“The MCA is seeking sponsors to help fund the Bouncy Slide so all the children can enjoy the large, colorful slide for free,” said Marlow.

“I love to see children’s faces when they see the Slide as it adds such a carnival feel to outdoor events.”

Those interested in volunteering their time can contact Marlow at lorriemarlow@yahoo.ca.

EMC news - While some Ottawans sat around the dinner table on Easter Sunday eating turkey, the crew from the Gladstone Theatre was happy to have taken home a rubber chicken.

The theatre was the recipient of the Rubber Chicken Award and was named the Best Theatre Company in Ottawa following the 13th annual Ottawa Theatre Challenge.

The challenge, hosted by A Company of Fools at the National Arts Centre on March 27, is traditionally held on International World Theatre Day. Theatre troupes from across Ottawa competed on the NAC stage for the coveted title. In all, 14 challeng-

ers performed original works of theatre based on three “objects of inspiration” -- a song, a household item, and a proverb.

Just 48 hours of preparation time was allowed for the performances.

The Gladstone Theatre started in 1982 as the home of the Great Canadian Theatre Company.

When the GCTC moved to its current location in 2007, the Gladstone was renovated under the watchful gaze of new owners Marilisa Granzotto and Steve Martin, opening to the public again in 2008.

Starting in 2011, the Gladstone has been co-operated by Plosive Productions and SevenThirty Productions, with shows by Black Sheep Theatre and Bear and Co. starting shortly thereafter.

EMC news - Glebe residents will have to put up with occasional construction noise at night as workers begin to pour concrete at Lansdowne Park.

City council OKed a noise exemption to allow concrete work to carry on until 1 a.m. every night as necessary for the remainder of construction at the site, which is expected to last until 2015.

Residents will be notified of the exception and then prior to each instance when work is expected to go late. Notice will be sent to residents and posted on the city’s website, ottawa.ca.But Capital Coun. David Chernushenko said it’s high time the city looked at offering hotel rooms for residents who are continuously bombarded with late-night construction noise approved by council.

“We can’t continue to say ‘It’s just one more time,’ ” said the councillor, adding he intends to pursue options for getting council to support his hotel-room plan.

Marco Manconi, the manager in charge of the Lansdowne project, said late-night concrete pouring would likely only be done a total of two or three times. The parking

EMC news - Construction of a controversial condo tower at the former convent site in Westboro will be allowed to continue 24 hours a day for the month of April.

City council approved the noisebylaw exemption for the site at 114 Richmond Rd. during its March 27 meeting and waived the rules of procedure to accommodate the last-minute request from Kitchissippi Coun.

Katherine Hobbs.

The exemption will allow the developer, Ashcroft, to continue three types of work later than 11 p.m., which is the normal cutoff for construction noise.

But Hobbs was quick to caution that the exemption does not mean con-

garage, stadium and towers require large amounts of concrete that must be poured continuously – sometimes for as long as 24 hours – for the best results, he said.

“The way the project has been designed requires these long pours,” he said.

Related concrete finishing work will also be allowed to go on until 1 a.m. and that type of work will happen three or four times each month, Manconi said.

That type of work won’t be too obtrusive, he said. Once workers and equipment are on site, the work itself won’t continue to create noise into the night.

The exemption is important to ensure Lansdowne work stays on schedule, said Coun. Steve Desroches, who introduced the motion.

Chernushenko was the only councillor to dissent on the noise exemption approval, which he did “out of solidarity for the big picture.”

“It’s important to put it into full context,” Chernushenko said. “We’re approaching a year of work … it’s important to recognize the impact on people.”

Chernushenko said he asked Manconi to promise that work will not be done at night unless it is an absolute necessity.

laura.mueller@metroland.com

Hobbs said.

The second exemption allows gaspowered heaters to run 24 hours a day in order to keep freshly poured concrete above freezing in order for it to cure properly.

The city also approved an exemption to allow workers to continue using gas-fired motorized trowel machines to be used to finish the surface of the concrete slab floors. That work must be done after each slab is poured until the optimum finish is achieved.

That normally continues in the evening of the day the concrete is poured and might take longer than would normally be allowed under the noise bylaw.

From May 1 until Aug. 23, construction work at the site will be allowed to continue until 2 a.m. from Monday to Friday.

tractors will be allowed to make loud noise – the exemption allows workers to make a noise, which could be anything from them walking around the site to the hum of machinery.

“There is no decibel level that’s OK … any noise at all is an infraction,” Hobbs said. “It’s not like we’re saying you’re allowed to make a loud noise.”

Pumps operated by gas-powered motors will be allowed to run 24/7 to remove water from the site and prevent flooding, Hobbs said. The pumps must keep running continuously until the lower portions of the new structure are connected to the city’s storm sewer system.

“Otherwise the area will flood and who knows what could happen to the adjoining neighbours,” Hobbs said.

The pumps make a humming noise,

Plan for Centretown’s evolution gets the green light Fight to save museum ‘park’ and provide community with amenities, planner urges city Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - A rare, lastminute agreement between the Centretown community association’s executive and a group of developers did not impress some residents -- or the city’s planning committee.

The committee approved a new community design plan for the area on March 26 that was three years in the making.

After working alongside the planners charged with leading the study, the Centretown Citizens Community Association formed an unheard-of alliance with a handful of property owners and developers represented by prominent planning consultants from FoTenn to offer their agreement on proposed changes to the plan during the committee’s meeting.

“I think we all recognize that the process hasn’t been perfect,” association president Jordan Charbonneu.

“We tried to come up with something worthy of Centretown.”

The 13-point, seven-page document outlines suggested changes to the plan, including more protection for “heritage clusters” and a proposal to include opportunities for small

public open spaces on private land as part of developments.

The community-developer agreement also suggested jettisoning a plan to allow height exemptions for landmark city-defining buildings.

But two Centretown residents waited throughout the day to tell the planning committee that the “agreement” reached by the association and developers was done in secret and doesn’t reflect residents views or their three years of participation in refining the Centretown plan.

“Nothing more than a private deal reached between developer interests and selfappointed negotiators,” said Centretown resident Deborah Hanscom.

The deal was never publicized or endorsed by the community association’s members, including herself, Hanscom said – only the executive board.

Neither councillors nor those in charge of drafting the city’s plan saw the agreement until a day or two before the committee met.

Planning committee chairman Coun. Peter Hume said the association-developer plan and other suggestions made by delegates at planning committee will be reviewed by staff and councillors could choose to put those ideas to council as amendments when

Planning consultant George Dark, who is in charge of the Centretown CDP, wants to be sure the city leaves flexibility to encourage landmark structures to be built in the area full council votes on the plan next month.

BUILDING A DENSE COMMUNITY

The development of Ottawa’s downtown will follow a unique path due to the federal government’s restrictions on blocking the view of the Parliament buildings, said George Dark, the consultant in charge of the plan.

Instead of buildings reaching the tallest heights in the and getting shorter farther away from downtown, the federal rules mean building heights in Ottawa will go the opposite way, Dark said.

The plan suggests the tallest buildings – up to 25

storeys – should go on the outskirts of Centretown, around Catherine Street.

Buildings of 16 to 21 storeys would be allowed in the north end of the core around Lisgar and Cooper streets, while most of the core of the neighbourhood would be allowed to have buildings of up to nine storeys.

To make density work downtown, the city needs to come up with a logical plan of how – and where – it will provide necessary services and access to amenities like recreation and schools as Centretown’s population continues to grow, Dark said.

The plan includes allowing some commercial uses in the central core of the neighbour-

hood that’s currently zoned only for residential uses.

That bothered the Centretown Citizens Ottawa Corporation, a non-profit housing group.

Dark’s plan asks the city to allow zoning flexibility to encourage a couple of landmark structures to be built in Centretown.

Those proposals would be subject to review by some sort of panel or competition to ensure they would make “an incredible addition to the public realm … the kind of thing you’d include in a book,” Dark said.

“Just tall buildings would not qualify,” he added.

The vibrancy of Ottawa’s core is also supported by the two low-rise “shoulder” neighbourhoods to its west and east (the Golden Triangle), and that should be protected, Dark’s plan says.

MUSEUM PARK

By supporting the Centretown community design plan, Ottawa can send a message to the federal government that the city has a strong desire to see both the east and west lawns of the Museum of Nature restored as public park space, Dark said.

The museum has said it has long-term plans to do that, but has not received funding

support from the federal government needed to build an underground parking garage.

The east lawn is currently paved as the museum’s parking lot and last year, the west lawn was converted into temporary staff parking.

“Frankly, it broke my heart when I saw the western lawn of the Museum of Nature turned into a parking lot for 150 cars,” Dark said.

Hume worried about the implications of ordering the federal government what to do with its land, but Dark said it’s necessary to send that message.

“It’s putting us in the direct line of fire of a federal institution,” Hume said.

TWO-WAY METCALFE

A “quick win” that would make a splash for Canada’s 150th birthday celebration in 2017 would be to convert Metcalfe into a two-way street, Dark said.

It would create a grand route connecting two storied national institutions: Parliament Hill and the Museum of Nature, especially because traffic coming off Highway 417 is already disrupted by the way the street wraps around the museum, Dark said.

“It would be a great place to gather,” he said.

“It would be great to do an inner city demonstration of a complete street.”

Near-west overcrowding measures approved Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

EMC news - The shape of the school year this coming fall is becoming somewhat clearer for parents of junior kindergarten students in the Hintonburg area, but a long-term plan to deal with overcrowding has yet to be decided upon.

The public school board approved the interim measures of the near-west accommodation review at a March 26 committee of the whole. A series of motions at the March 5 meeting defined those measures, though they were met with criticism from several parents.

The interim measures, which only apply to the 2013-2014 school year, would see junior kindergarteners from Devonshire Public School moved to Connaught Public School, which would also see funds spent to create two full-day kindergarten classes.

The planner who worked on the report stated that Elmdale Public School would not be able to accommodate portables without considerable expense, while staff at the school felt they could accommodate the influx of junior kindergarten classes within the present building space.

As a result, the interim measures

state that “only if absolutely necessary” should portables be placed at Elmdale – or Devonshire – if enrolment levels demand extra measures for accommodation.

Other motions included in the measures concern giving Devonshire students priority for daycare spots in the school’s before-and-after school program, with associated busing arrangements.

The half-day daycare at Connaught will be kept intact for Devonshire students who already attend the program at Connaught and will be in senior kindergarten in 2013-2014.

A motion was introduced that stated if the measures were to be carried over for a second year (to the 20142015 school year), Grade 5 and 6 students, and possibly Grade 4, from both Devonshire and Elmdale would be moved to Fisher Park Intermediate School, while kindergarteners will attend their designated schools. That motion was defeated. Another motion that called for Devonshire teachers to follow their junior kindergarten students to Connaught for the school year was also defeated.

The long-term plan for the area is being developed with the help of a working group, which enlists parent council members at area schools.

Preparing for your Baby We have all seen the ads. A pregnant woman glowing with a happy face, and round belly, watching kids play on the swings while she sips her decaf latte. She warmly lays a hand on her unborn child. The sun is shining. The birds are tweeting. You may ask: is this the reality of being pregnant? It looks simple!

While pregnancy is a special time, it can also have emotional and physical ups and downs.

While the sun is shining, and the birds are tweeting, what you do not see in the ad is what the woman is thinking. Some common thoughts of parents-to-be are: • “How am I going to prepare for this baby?”

• “How do I get ready for breastfeeding?”

• “How do I keep my baby safe and healthy once he/she is here???”

Prenatal classes are a great way to obtain answers to many of your questions and more. Ottawa Public Health (OPH) offers online prenatal education with free companion classes for parents-to-be and those looking for a refresher.

The course includes three in-person sessions, each 2 hours in length. Classes are in the evening or on Saturday mornings at four library sites. Sites include Nepean Centrepointe, Ruth E. Dickinson (Barrhaven), Alta Vista and Cumberland. These classes can:

• help pregnant women and their partners feel more confident about the upcoming birth; • feel better prepared for breastfeeding and; • help parents make informed decisions about labour, birth and the care of their baby.

The classes are led by a public health nurse.

They provide pregnant women and their partners with expert information and the chance to meet with other expectant families. Katie Souliere, a pregnant woman, recently took the OPH prenatal class at the Cumberland branch. Her and her husband said that “after participating in the prenatal classes [they] felt better prepared for baby’s arrival in terms of what to expect before, during and after the labour. [They] now feel more confident about bringing baby home…”.

Katie says that while there is a lot of information available online, she and her husband “…weren’t aware of the amount of resources available in the community to support [them] with postnatal care such as breastfeeding and postpartum depression support groups.”

So, grab your decaf latte, take a seat in the sun, open your computer and go to www.ottawa.ca/ prenatal. Enroll in our free prenatal classes. It will provide you with the confidence, knowledge and breastfeeding information for your new baby.

Prevent the Spread Written by public health nurse Ginette Smith

vomiting, weight loss, pneumonia, brain damage and in rare cases, death. Older children and adults may experiencemilder symptoms but nevertheless, can still spread the infection to others. Every year in Canada, whooping cough kills 1 to 3 infants who did not receive or follow the proper vaccination schedule.

Pertussis is a highly contagious infection that affects the respiratory system and spreads easily in the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, and talks. Symptoms are initially mild (similar to the common cold) but as the weeks progress, the mild cough may turn into a severe, violent cough, lasting weeks to months. Babies and young children are at the greatest risk of serious complications, such as breathing difficulties, choking spells,

The first dose of the pertussis vaccine is given at 2 months of age; however, babies are not fully protected until they receive all the doses of this vaccine. During this time, babies and young children are surrounded by parents, older siblings, grandparents, friends, caregivers and others who unknowingly may be infected with pertussis, and can transmit it to the child.

April 20-27, 2013, is World Immunization Awareness Week. Take this time to talk with your health care provider to see if you and your family are up-to-date. Immunization In Ontario, there were 230 cases of pertussis in 2011, and 792 cases in 2012. In Ottawa, saves lives! Protect your loved ones; there were 48 cases of pertussis in 2012 alone. get vaccinated.

This is the highest number of pertussis cases reported in our city since a local outbreak occurred in 2003 . Better vaccination rate in all age groups will help control this preventable disease.

R0011958482-0404

Babies and young children are routinely immunized with selected vaccines when they are 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, and 18 months. This early vaccines protect against five different diseases, including pertussis, commonly known as whooping cough.

As of August 2011, all adults from 19 to 64 years of age in Ontario who did not receive one as a teenager are eligible to receive one publicly funded dose of the tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (Tdap) vaccine to better protect adults against pertussis and importantly, to decrease the transmission of the infection to young children.

EDITORIAL

A tale lacking in substance

I

n the play Macbeth, Shakespeare describes life as “a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury signifying nothing.”

He just as easily could have been referring to the city’s planning process: endless meetings filled with talk but often devoid of discussion.

It is a process that is frustrating for the public, frustrating for city staff, and, at times infuriating for the developers.

The element of conflict is baked into the recipe of site plans and rezoning applications – a development proposal never meets everyone’s vision of the character of the surrounding neighbourhood.

But conflict should be an opportunity for rational discourse and a little constructive give-andtake, resulting in a compromise.

Instead, it often turns into a standoff between two diametrically opposed camps.

It drags on for months at community consultations and at city hall before finally (in worst case scenarios) landing at the feet of the Ontario Municipal Board.

Too often we witness members of the public show up at consultation meetings armed only with emotional arguments.

Bitter words are often exchanged, but little else.

If the city wants to encourage rational discourse and limit pointless debate and time spent wasted arguing lost causes at the OMB, it must start by educating the public.

We sympathize with the public’s confusion about the planning process, with the city still trying to harmonize its zoning rules – something which hopefully will fall into place during the review of the Official Plan.

It starts and ends with education.

The city already offers planning primer courses throughout the year, explaining how planners evaluate development proposals, zoning rules, how secondary plans fit with the city’s official plan and a discussion about how the OMB works.

More people might take advantage of this set of courses if they were offered throughout the city – instead of just at city hall – and working in conjunction with the various community associations that pepper the municipality.

Developers, for their part, can also participate in the process, by participating in or speaking at some of these courses.

Providing a forum for rational debate meets the needs of everyone – developers, the city and the public included.

The cuddliness factor and Canadian politics

L

his government’s budget, Stephen Kanata Kourier-Standard ess than a week after the tabling of

Harper went to Toronto to meet two pandas arriving from China.

The news pictures coming out of that event were much nicer than the news pictures coming out of the budget because there were no pandas involved in the budget. Stephen Harper knew that. He didn’t get where he is by not understanding such things.

Everybody looks better standing with a panda and everybody sounds better talking about pandas, even when what they say is absurd. For example, here’s what the prime minister said at the Toronto airport: “Over the coming years these pandas will help us learn more about one another while serving as a reminder of our deepening relationship, a relationship based on mutual respect and growing collaboration.”

This will come as quite a surprise to the pandas, who figured that all they had to do in their lives was stay in the cage, eat bamboo, breed and get used to people in Toronto Maple Leafs caps waving at them. Now they find out they are supposed to help Canadians and Chinese learn more about each other, as well as serve as a reminder of a deepening relationship.

Funny Town What a job description for a panda.

But what a great coup for the prime minister to be at the centre of this happy event, surrounded by more photographers than ever show up at, say, the opening of a new prison.

This is because pandas are cuddly – not that you’d ever want to try to cuddle one because they are big and have sharp teeth and probably don’t understand English or French very well just yet.

At a safe distance, however, pandas are more cuddly, even, than dogs. We know this because of developments in the Pooch Café comic strip in the Citizen, where the dogs are deeply concerned that their capacity to be adored by people is being undermined by cute pandas.

All of this is to say the prime minister Published weekly by:

chose wisely. It also suggests one of large problems confronting Canadian politicians is a shortage of pandas. All of them would like to be seen next to one and be able to make speeches about how they serve as reminders of deepening relationships.

Imagine Jim Watson, mayor of Ottawa, being able to talk about pandas instead having to say something, one way or the other, about casinos. That would be such an improvement for him. Even if he had bad news to announce, such as the decision to locate a casino on the lawn of the Supreme Court, having a panda beside him when he made the announcement would make it so much more palatable.

Similarly, having a panda present at the announcement of each new 23-story building in Ottawa would make the looming shadows over residential neighbourhoods so much easier to take. The panda, not the building, would be in the shot.

Put a panda on the west lawn of the Museum of Nature when you announce that it is going to be a parking lot. Put a panda in front of CIDA when it closes.

Hey, how about the Ottawa Pandas as the name of the new CFL team? Who could object?

Sadly, there are simply not enough pandas

to go around. Already in short supply, they don’t breed as enthusiastically as they might (maybe they just like to cuddle). So just to get two to come to Canada is a pretty great thing.

In the absence of pandas, the hunt is on for creatures of significant cuddliness who could serve politicians as an acceptable substitute.

Our customary national symbols, the beaver and the Canada goose, have enemies. Penguins, also celebrated in Pooch Café, would find our climate too warm.

Clever politicians have already found a substitute: hockey players. Wasn’t Barack Obama posing with some of them just the other day?

Carleton Heights school to get $2.6M makeover Jennifer McIntosh

EMC community - Carleton Heights Public School got the green light for a $2.6 million facelift thanks to a decision by the board of trustees on March 26.

The budget was approved out of the public board’s capital reserves. The trustee for the area, Shirley Seward, said it was just a matter of getting approval from the province before construction begins in June.

The renovations – identified in the 2009 Merivale South of Baseline Elementary Accommodation Study – were necessary because of the age of the building, the amalgamation of Carleton Heights and McGregor Easson Public School and because of the building’s age, said school prinicipal Andrew Canham.

“We are having the windows replaced, they have been there since the school was built 54 years ago,” he said.

Parents met at the school on March 18 to go over three possible options for accommodations of the students during the renovations.

The first option would have seen the students staying in

EMC news - Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi is finding success in his push to make it easier to collect unpaid traffic fines.

Almost 70 per cent of unpaid fines owed to municipalities are related to provincial Highway Traffic Act offences and the Ontario Liberals were set to introduce legislation last week that would strengthen the government’s ability to collect that money.

Minister Transportation Glen Murray came to Ottawa on March 18 to make the announcement because he said the idea started here.

The changes mean drivers wouldn’t be able to renew their Ontario vehicle licence plates without paying off their fines.

Currently, Ontario only prevents people from renewing their drivers’ licences, which must be done every five years.

The legislation would also restrict Ontario drivers from having more than one licence plate they could swap out on their vehicle.

Out-of-province offenders are also being targeted under the proposed legislation.

So far, Ontario has drafted an agreement with the Quebec government to share information about drivers who receive fines in Ontario for offences such as running red lights. Discussions with other provinces will follow, Murray said.

Naqvi said he brought the proposals forward because unpaid traffic fines are a “real and significant” issue for Ottawa.

EMC news – In the past half-century, humanity has made great strides in ridding the world of the dreaded disease of polio, but there is still work to do.

To this end, the University of Ottawa’s school of music has teamed with the Rotary Club of West Ottawa for a fundraising concert aimed at helping eradicate the few re-

maining hotspots of the crippling illness.

Planned for April 6 at the First Unitarian Church on Cleary Avenue, the Music for Humanity concert was organized by Rotarian Mike Traub and concertmaster Adam Cicchillitti, a master’s student at the university.

Cicchillitti, 25, attended a Rotary Club meeting and was “impressed” by the humanitarian work being done by the members.

“When I started doing my own research on polio I decided to contribute my time to the concert,” he said, adding that his fellow music students “were excited to be involved” in the concert.

Traub, a 28-year member of the club, has been organizing the concert for 10 years now, in partnership with music students from the university.

“It gives them an audience and gives us a way of eliminating polio,” said Traub.

Until the mid-20th century, polio was the most feared childhood disease in the developed world, afflicting thousands of Canadian children. Those who survived the disease faced an adult life diminished by paralysis, disfigurement and dependency on a ventilator.

A new vaccine – the miracle fearful parents were longing for – was created by Dr. Jonas Salk following a devastating 1952 outbreak. Following suc-

cessful trials, the vaccine was approved for wide-scale use.

Salk’s research received large amounts of financial support from ordinary citizen donors and that grassroots fundraising continues for the benefit of the children of the developing world.

In 1985 Rotary International declared its intention to rid the world of polio, which was still a scourge outside of the Western world. Currently, polio is only prevalent in three countries: Nigeria, Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Students will be bused to the temporary school site and child care will be relocated to McGregor Eason.

Canham said the move would start in June and students would start September 2013 at Parkwood Hills.

“It’s better to move the students as a whole and maintain the school spirit,” Canham said.

“I am confident things are going to go very well at our borrowed school site and then next fall we will return to a new and improved Carleton Heights.”

Valerie Chartrand, chair of the school’s parent council, said the council is happy with the option selected.

“We really feel like the trustees listened to us,” she said, adding parents would also like see improvements to the dropoff and pickup area of the school.

There is no parking allowed on Falaise Road, Chartrand said, adding Prince of Wales is too busy for stopping.

“We would like to see a dedicated dropoff area as part of the renovations budget,” Chartrand said.

“When the school lot was designed, Prince of Wales was not as fast as it is now.”

portables on the school’s property while the renovations took place, something Seward said would have doubled the timeline for the renovations from one year to two years.

The second option was to move the children to Parkwood Hills Public School and the third was to move the students to McGregor Easson.

“McGregor Easson wasn’t really viable,” Seward said.

“It just doesn’t have the capacity.”

Seward added that asbestos removal from Carleton Heights was another reason she supported moving the students.

“Obviously the safety of the students would be priority whichever option we choose,” she said. “But some parents were concerned with the students being onsite while the asbestos was removed.”

Aside from the windows and asbestos removal, the school will also add an elevator for students with mobility challenges.

Parkwood Hills Public School, which closed at the end of the 2010 school year, was home to Barrhaven students recently while they waited for the opening of a new elementary school in

Know thy enemy: money

T

here’s something about money.

We love it and need it, but it also scares the hell out of most of us most of the time – especially at tax time. And it’s not just those of us who may have to remit funds to the government this month. Even friends who are expecting a windfall this April are feeling nervous about having a lump sum dropped into their bank accounts. Why? According to a new book released by Money Coaches Canada founders Karin Mizgala and Sheila Walkington, we’re scared when we lack control. Unstuck: How to get out of your money rut and start living the life you want, offers a ground-up guide to uncovering how you feel about money, what you should and want to be doing with it and assessing what you already know.

Unfortunately, the statistics suggest most of us haven’t got a clue.

“People have lost the ability to look at the value of money,” says Judith Cane, with Money Coaches Canada in Ottawa.

“They’ve forgotten what the function of money is – that you’re exchanging cash for a product or service.”

No surprise, Cane says much of it has to do with our society’s reliance on virtual money – in the form of lines of credit and paying with plastic.

“I often take clients back to using envelopes of cash,” says Cane. “Putting that $20 per hour you earned into an envelope and then taking it to the grocery store to buy food helps to create that link between what you’re making and what you’re spending.”

And that link is an important one. The basic principle around money is that what

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse comes in must be greater than what goes out. But when money never touches people’s hands, they not only lose track, but they fail to comprehend that principle. That’s when things get scary, says Cane.

“People are afraid of money because they have no idea what their situation is,” she explains. “If you stopped people on the street and asked if they had debt, they’d probably say yes. If you asked them when they’ll have the debt paid off, they’d have no idea. Nine out of 10 people don’t have a clue about their own net worth.”

Cane works on the principle that once people know who the enemy is they don’t have to be afraid of it anymore. And it’s not just for people in debt.

Money Coaches Canada was founded by former financial advisers Mizgala and Walkington in Vancouver with the goal of providing financial help to people who need it – not just those that have money to invest. They developed a fee-for-service model to appeal to a broad range of individuals – specifically, those who want guidance with money that’s not tied to any products, services or investments.

“There is a huge demand for financial planning services like this right now,” says Cane.

The fact is everything about money has become more complex. Just when we think we’ve got a handle on things,

the situation is apt to change.

Much of it comes down to demographics. The sandwich generation means families with young children are trying to account for childcare and eldercare costs simultaneously.

A high divorce rate means people are learning to raise families on a single income, at the same time dividing up what they own and, perhaps more importantly, what they owe. Young professionals are waiting longer to start families, which means they have more disposable income for longer than they did historically. And at the other end of the spectrum, the Baby Boomers are retiring en masse and they’re projected to live for a very long time on their pensions. It’s almost as though every family could use its own certified financial officer, says Cane.

“I had a retired couple in last year and they’d been blue-skying for years about spending a few winter months in Arizona,” she explains.

“But they were always saying, ‘wouldn’t it be nice,’ without actually having a plan. They were worried about spending too much money, not having anything to leave to their children. Once we got into the minutia of their financial situation – spendings and savings, living and death benefits – we were able to get them to Arizona and they felt good about the decision.”

EMC news - The United Way Ottawa announced the official tally for its 2012-13 fundraising campaign on March 25, revealing it had surpassed its goal.

The United Way raised $30,334,000 as part of its latest efforts, exceeding the $30 million goal the United Way set in September. United Way board chairman Jamie McCracken took the opportunity to congratulate donors and campaign volunteers for their efforts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an amazing total for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign,â&#x20AC;? he said.

fall of $800,000 before the campaign is officially complete on March 31.

The campaign volunteers were taking to the phones to call previous donors who had yet to give.

Campaign co-chairs Mathieu Fleury, councillor for RideauVanier and Angie Poirier, a Majic 100 and CTV Ottawa Morning Live host, were on hand to celebrate the total and reflect on the campaign.

Fleury said he enjoyed the opportunity to meet organizations and people in a different setting than through the city lens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You think you know your

The organization changed the way the way it allocates money raised from its annual campaign more than two years ago, crafting priorities and funding criteria in order to appeal to donors.

Although the campaign was extended for the first time this year, adding 10 more weeks for donors to contribute, the amount raised for the funding of those priority goals fell short in the end.

McCracken explained this is in part because unrestricted donations continue to decline.

The United Way appealed to donors at the announcement to O Canada! help raise the remaining short-

Fleury and Poirier were dubbed leaders of the next generation of donors and made it their personal goal for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign to take to social media to help promote the campaign.

More than 1,000 workplaces were involved in the campaign.

MPP’s Economic Report A Balanced Approach

One of my top priorities as your Member of Provincial Parliament is to create jobs and growth in our community and province.

As Ontario’s 2013 Budget approaches, I’d like to take this opportunity to provide an update on Ontario’s economy, and ask for your comments and advice as we create the next Budget.

Virtually every global economy was severely impacted by the Great Recession, and Ontario was no exception. But since the recessionary low of 2009, we’ve created 415,700 net new jobs – a 156 per cent recovery.

Locally, Ottawa has seen a 0.5 per cent decrease in unemployment over the past year, to 5.9 per cent. That’s significantly lower than the provincial average of 7.7 per cent.

As we grow the economy and create jobs, the single most important thing we can do is to eliminate the deficit.

Our government delivered three balanced budgets in the years before the recession, when we joined virtually all advanced economies in taking on debt to create jobs. With those 415,700 net new jobs in hand, Ontario is on track to balance the books by 2017-18. We’ve beat our deficit-reduction targets for the last several years.

The 2013 Budget will be a reflection of our balanced approach that combines fiscal restraint with smart investments, while protecting public services. I recently spoke with thousands of residents in Ottawa WestNepean about the Budget through a tele-town hall. I encourage you to contact my office at 613-721-8075 or bob@bobchiarelli.com to continue that discussion.

Sincerely,

Bob Chiarelli, MPP Ottawa West-Nepean

Job Recovery Since 2009 156.3%

On January 14, the Dominion Bond Rating Service reported that Ontario is the only Canadian province tracking ahead of our budget targets – thanks to major wage deals reached with our hard-working public servants.

These public servants, together with Ontario’s doctors and many teachers, deserve credit for working responsibly with our government to achieve an overall public sector wage increase of just 0.2% – a de facto wage freeze.

That’s compared to an average 1.1% increase in the private sector, and almost 2% in the federal government.

Residents concerned by traffic, privacy issues Ground broken Continued from page 1

A Little-Italy resident, Jamie Liew, came to the meeting to express that same view on behalf of her neighbours who couldn’t make it. Liew said they knew when they moved there that the neighbourhood would change, but they assumed it would develop within the zoning rules in place when they moved there.

“We wanted to welcome evolution and change in our community within the rules we bought into,” she said.

Liew said she and her neighbours are worried about privacy issues, “wind tunnels” and traffic and parking concerns that could result from taller, denser buildings popping up throughout the neighbourhood.

The plan devised by consultant George Dark of Urban Strategies would allow build-

ings in the order of 40 storeys – with high architectural expectations – near the O-Train station. Buildings along Preston Street would be limited to six storeys, while most streets flanking Preston would have buildings of up to four storeys (the north side of Adeline Street could have up to nine storeys). Nine-storey buildings would also be allowed on the western ends of street blocks along the O-Train line, while taller buildings of up to 18 storeys would be permitted along the west side of Rochester Street.

Neighbours agreed that taller buildings should be allowed on the major roads, Liew said. “For us, that is a big concession,” she said.

But towers like the 18storey building a developer, Taggart Group, is proposing down the street from Liew on Norman Street don’t fit into that picture.

Alan Cohen, a prominent planning lawyer working on behalf of Taggart Group, said his client’s traffic studies show that a mews wouldn’t be necessary to handle the traffic the proposed building would create, so the developer supports the city putting that part of the report aside to study further.

Dark’s plan will form the basis for a community design plan and secondary plan that will follow later this year.

TWIN TOWERS

As part of the discussion, developer Richcraft brought a vision of twin 48-storey condo towers at the corner of Preston and Carling.

It’s a conceptual plan, but Richcraft’s planning consultant, Ted Fobert of FoTenn, said the company wants the city to keep it in mind because Richcraft’s vision dif-

fers from Dark’s.

For one thing, Dark would prefer to see building heights staggered, but Richcraft is designing it’s twin towers as a duo that works better together.

The other point of discussion was how the development, which would be situated on the Dow Honda site, would provide access to the Carling O-Train station directly beside it.

Dark suggests access from the road, but Richcraft is pondering a public plaza between the towers on its land. Dark cautioned councillors against that because maintaining public access on private lands can become challenging over time, he said.

“This is a massive enterprise … I think you’re going to have to get a little more information and merge them together,” Dark said of his and Richcraft’s plans.

EMC news - While the spring thaw means the end of the hockey season for many, it also signals the start of a huge new project for hockey players young and old in the east end.

On March 26, officials and many young players were on hand for the official groundbreaking for the Richcraft Sensplex, which will be an expansion on the current Potvin Arena on Shefford Road.

The title sponsor, Richcraft Homes, was announced at the groundbreaking to about 60 young hockey and ringette players and their families.

Upgrading to four ice pads will be an enormous upgrade to the existing Potvin Arena, which needed upgrades. It will

also have a restaurant, concessions, retail space and office space for minor hockey league staff.

Tim Tierney was excited to welcome players from a variety of organizations to the event, many of whom he currently coaches or had coached in the past.

Mayor Jim Watson said that the $26 million facility will be a community hub in Beacon Hill, and predicted the economic impact from bringing in outside tournaments and events to be $15 million.

Eye popping-kitchen sinks for those who dare EMC lifestyle (NC) - It is the sink today that is taking its rightful place as the most popular feature in a 21st century kitchen.

Indeed, installing one that dazzles the onlooker is a pleasure of the kind that keeps on giving.

So, how do you choose the right dazzler for you?

“We guide homeowners and renovators by asking a lot of questions about their taste, beauty preferences, family size, kitchen size and home décor,” says Diana Elliott at Blanco Canada, an industry leader in kitchen art technology.

“Your choice may also be influenced by a favourite colour or material, by craftsmanship, or by a design you’ve already seen – and you may also be influenced by practical considerations like budget, installation challenges, and the amount of surface space available.

“We always advise homeowners to take their time in choosing the very best quality they can afford since it is usually quite costly to upgrade later after countertops are cut and installed.”

If you’re looking for ex-

citement though, she says, don’t miss all the fuss right now over silgranit, a superstar material for sinks that was showcased this year at the 2013 Interior Design Show in Toronto.

“Silgranit is a patented material that combines 80 per cent natural granite stone with a premium acrylic resin formula to deliver unprecedented strength and durability,” Elliott said. “Silgranit sinks are non-porous for exceptional hygiene and easy care – and it is scratch-proof, chip-proof, stain-proof, and highly resistant to the heat of saucepans straight from the stove.

“Our company is known for the rich colour available in our sinks and the silgranit models lead the pack in a range of six, non-fading, densely-textured colour choices, plus a new one, we call Cinder.

“This one is a beautiful dark charcoal with a hint of brown. All of our colours are imbued with a subtle mineral pearlescence – and wait until you see how Cinder’s natural stone texture complements so many other colours in your kitchen. It’s complex but vel-

Hammering out a budget important when renovating EMC lifestyle - How do I calculate how much my renovation project will cost? Now there’s a question that requires a great deal of thought.

Obviously there are many different answers to this question, depending on what type of project you have in mind and the quality of materials you can budget for.

Do you want to demolish everything and start from scratch? Replace the plumbing and the electricity? Or simply change the furniture and the appliances to freshen up some rooms and give them a more up-to-date look?

Your budget will also depend on whether you plan to hire a professional to do the work or if you do it yourself – sometimes both options are possible. Hiring manpower will increase the cost, but using a pro can prevent months of lost time and space at home.

If you decide to hire someone, ask for recommendations

Learn how to budget for the cost and quality of materials and labour. from family, friends and work colleagues.

The quality and quantity of materials chosen will also have a huge impact on the cost of the project. If money is no object, you could renovate everything in one go. If your budget is more modest, you could go more slowly, at your own pace, one room at a time.

Be sure to get all the information you need to make an enlightened decision. Write everything down and compare the different options that have been suggested.

The important thing to remember is to take the time to make rational choices, while keeping in mind your tastes and budget.

Changing the way you think about storage...

Dymon Storage has arrived on Carling Avenue at the Queensway. It is just the latest in a string of seven industry leading facilities that are popping up all over town.

D

ymon’s new Carling/Queensway location is the largest storage facility of its nature in Canada. “We are very excited about our Carling site,” offers Steve Creighton, Senior Vice President with Dymon, “it will be our flagship location and our head office will be located on the top floor. The local community has been waiting for this location to open, and in the first couple of weeks the leasing pace has been very brisk. Spring is here,and people are jumping at the chance to declutter.”

R0012010131-0404

Stepping inside Dymon’s Carling/Queensway facility, you will quickly realize that Dymon Storage is not your traditional type of storage business.

“Before the arrival of Dymon, self storage in Ottawa was really nothing more than single storey buildings with garage doors. These facilities were typically located in industrial parks or rural locations, that offered minimal security, no climate or humidity controls, and there was very little focus on customer service,” explains Steve Creighton.

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

16

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

,

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

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

What does “best of breed” mean?

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

And in a short period of time, Dymon has become a leading retailer of boxes and moving supplies – you should drop by the facilities just to see their unique box displays! And the list goes on and on.

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

“And time and time again we receive compliments on how helpful and professional our staff are.”

With everything that Dymon has to offer, is it any wonder that Dymon Storage has taken the Ottawa market by storm? Dymon’s first facility on Coventry Road opened in 2006 and filled in just 5 months, and has remained full ever since.

Connected to your community

Dymon’s Coventry facility was certainly no flashin-the-pan - Dymon’s second location at Prince of Wales and Hunt Club was filled in only 6 months.

Each subsequent facility has also experienced a rapid fill.

SO WHO IS YOUR TYPICAL DYMON CUSTOMER? The reasons why people need storage are endless. For example, people selling their homes use Dymon. It has been proven that a decluttered, well staged home will sell more quickly and at a higher price. Dymon is also great if you are downsizing or if you simply have too much stuff and need to make room in your home. Many customers also use Dymon to store their possessions while their homes are undergoing renovations, or to clear out their garage in the fall to make room for their cars.

Interestingly, the majority of Dymon’s customers are women. According to Creighton, “Women are the primary decision maker when it comes to storage, so we have taken particular care to design our facilities to be attractive to the female consumer.” Dymon does this through its highly focused customer service, security, convenient access, and ultra clean facilities – all factors many women demand. “Women appreciate the quality that Dymon offers – they know their stuff will be safe and secure.”

R0012010145-0404

Dymon’s storage facilities are also very attractive to business operators. With free on-site boardrooms, a parcel acceptance service, and flexible

yet affordable storage leasing options, Dymon offers the perfect solution for a variety of businesses.

“Currently about 25% of each facility is made up of commercial customers,” reports Creighton.

“Dymon is perfect for business to store bankers’ boxes, excess merchandise, spare office furniture or work equipment, and seasonal inventory. We even have some business customers who use their storage unit as their own mini-warehouse instead of renting a larger building with much higher fixed overhead.” With the flexibility of month-to-month leases, business operators see Dymon as a great storage solution.

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

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

Dymon is certainly not prepared to rest on its laurels “We are continually introducing new services and products to improve what Dymon has to offer,” says Creighton “and we continue to listen to our customers for new ideas on what they want to see from us”.

DymonBox.com is its latest environmentally focused business that offers customers the oppor tunity to rent or buy eco-friendly storage bins ideally suited for moving and storage. “This is an incredibly convenient service for our customers,” says Jonathon Dicker, Regional Manager at Dymon, “renting the eco-friendly storage bins is cheaper

You should take the time to drop by Dymon’s new location on Carling at the Queensway - it is really unlike anything you have ever seen before. If you have too much stuff and need to declutter, and we all face that situation from time to time, Dymon should definitely be the place you end up.

GCTC goes online for fundraising drive

Star Wars coming to Aviation Museum Michelle Nash

EMC entertainment - The Great Canadian Theatre Company is adopting a modern take on fundraising as its latest capital building campaign drive kicks off.

Launched March 20, the two-month campaign will solicit community donations via crowd-funding site Indiegogo to help eliminate its building fund shortfall. The campaign’s goal is $25,000.

GCTC artistic director Eric Coates said using the increasingly popular website would allow them to find new sources of donations.

“It’s suddenly becoming the popular way for people to raise money for independent projects,” said Coates. “We can’t constantly go back to the same pool of donors.”

When the GCTC moved into the new Irving Greenberg Theatre Centre in 2007, significant cost overruns totalling $1.6 million were incurred, leaving the company struggling to eliminate the unexpected debt.

EMC entertainment - The space museum has gone out of this world to find its summer programming this year.

The Canada Aviation and Space Museum announced Star Wars Identities: The Exhibition on March 20. A museum showcase will feature the characters from the famous film series, including Darth Vader, R2-D2, Chewbacca, Yoda as well as Anakin Skywalker’s full-sized Podracer, offering both old and new fans of the films the chance to explore what forces shape the person or species you become.

Created by Montreal’s X3 Productions in collaboration with Lucasfilm Ltd., the exhibition first appeared at the Montreal Science Centre in the spring of 2012. It has since travelled to western Canada, and will move to the capital starting on May 10.

“We are extremely happy to host this wonderful exhibition, which asks fascinating questions about how identities are developed,” said Denise Amyot, the chief executive of

Michaela Hawdur and Chelsea Frake hang out with some Star Wars characters at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum on March 20. the Canada Science and Technology Museums Corporation.

“We are certain it will prove to be extremely popular with the National Capital Region’s residents and visitors.”

The museum invited a group of students from Georges Vanier Catholic School to meet some of the characters of the series, including Darth Vader and a few Stormtroopers.

Student Rachael Mombourquette said her family has all

the movies at home, but she admitted she was never really interested until now.

“I think I will go home and watch them, it seems really cool,” Mombourquette said.

X3 Productions collaborated with the Montréal Science Centre’s team of experts in a variety of fields to build the exhibition. Jacques-André Dupont, president and executive producer of X3 Productions, said the teams’ knowledge

While that debt has since been lowered to $500,000, it still burdens the company’s operations.

“Until we get the debt down, the annual operating plans will be compromised,” said Coates, adding the company has to trim its operating budgets to pay down the debt.

“What started out as $1.6 million is down to $500,000, but that’s still too much to be carrying.”

The Indiegogo campaign – which ends May 19 – aims to make donating easy, and has the ability to reach more people, especially with the help of social media. It is also a good way of soliciting small donations, as contributions can be as little as $1.

Increasingly, many Canadian theatre companies are turning to crowd-funding sites to finance elements of their operations.

Coates will be ensuring visitors to the Wellington Street West theatre are made aware of the campaign.

The donation site can be found at www.indiegogo. com/gctc.

and expertise have shaped the exhibition’s structure and their input has been essential in developing its scientific and educational content.

“This exhibition offers a fresh perspective on the beloved characters of Star Wars,” Dupont said. “We get a deeper understanding of their identities, and, at the same time, we get a deeper understanding of our own ... . It’s a characterdriven adventure into identity.”

Exploring the complex notion of identity in both the real world and in the films, X3 Productions hopes shed light on each of the components of identity. The exhibition will divide the study of the characters from the movies identity into three major themes: the origins of the characters, the influences that shape them, and the choices they make.

Online ticket sales for the exhibition opened March 23, with opening day beginning on May 10. Visitors can begin their adventure online at www. starwarsidentities.com. The exhibition will run until Sept.

Crash test to shed light on cyclist, vehicle accidents

michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - It took a few tries, but eventually a 180 pound dummy crashed into a speeding car at the National Research Council on March 25, the culmination of joint study between Ottawa students and police.

The simulated crash was part of an eight-month-long study conducted by Carleton University engineering students and Algonquin College toolmaking students, working in conjunction with Ottawa police to help better understand exactly what happens when a cyclist and car collide.

“We have a number of theories and a couple of ideas of what the data will look like, but it all depends on how the dummy hits the car,” said project coordinator Brigitte Babin, a fourth year biomedical and mechanical engineering student.

The simulation had a dummy “cyclist” ride down a track, as a sedan was speeding past – with the inevitable crash occuring between the two vehicles. After three failed attempts where the dummy sailed behind or in front of the car, the fourth attempt was a success, resulting in a crash of potentially deadly proportions.

Babin’s classmates, all in students in Carleton’s department of mechanical and aerospace engineering, designed and built the electronics for the crash, while Algonquin College’s mechanical technician-toolmaking program handled the mechanical elements of building the dummy.

The test involved multiple cameras located at every angle of the crash site as well as a camera on the cyclist’s helmet and the vehicle.

Sensors built by the students were placed inside the dummy, in its head, chest and arms to help determine the impact of the crash.

Ottawa police served as a resource for the students throughout the eight month study, which began last fall.

Det. Alain Boucher of the police traffic unit participated in the study, offering up data,

Michelle Nash/Metroland

Carleton engineering students set up a crash simulation at the National Research Council on March 25 with the help of the Ottawa Police Service. It took a few tries, but the students eventually managed to crash a ‘cyclist’ into a car, which was driving 30 kilometres per hour. information and experience along the way.

Babin said it has been this sort of help that has been crucial to the project and students’ success.

“It has been a really great experience and the police have been a tremendous amount of help,” she said.

On the day of the crash simulation, Boucher and the remainder of the traffic team, including the collision investigators, were present to reconstruct the crash between the sedan and the cyclist.

The officers gathered the information as they would with any crash, but this time, the students had the data to back up the officers findings.

It’s this kind of collaboration that Boucher said he believes will help the police better understand accidents in the future.

“We are interested in terms of the collision investigation,” Boucher said.

“This is a training day for us. There is little information out there and no real world information on cyclist and vehicle accidents. This crash simulation brings us much closer to a real world situation.”

According to the police, on average in Ottawa, there are more than 300 collisions reported involving vehicles and cyclists per year.

With a number of bike paths crossing city streets, the segregated bike lane on Laurier Avenue and the city’s plans for expanding cycling routes and paths across the city, Boucher said collisions will be on the rise as cycling use increases.

Between 2007 and 2011, there were 1,253 incidents where the cyclist was injured and a total of 12 fatalities.

“We anticipate a rise in collisions (and) we are trying to be ahead of the gain,” Boucher said.

“My hope is it won’t happen, but we will be prepared.

We are just keeping our training up to snuff.”

Ottawa paramedics, fire department and the National Research Council all helped the students on the day of the crash test.

The results from the crash will be studied, and later presented by the students at the end of this semester.

Attendees dismayed with pro forma meeting aimed at refreshing process laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Residents who came to city hall on March 25 to help the municipality figure out how to better engage with them were disappointed that the “consultation on consultations” didn’t break the city’s mould.

Participants in the first session of the series were not happy they did not get a presentation on the city’s current consultation guidelines, what works and what doesn’t work from the city’s perspective.

“Instead, they focused on ‘principles’ and ‘values,’ both of which were ill-defined and overlapping,” said John Dance, president of the Old Ottawa East Community Association.

Other participants were angry that city staff came to them with a pre-determined set of four values such as: “The public should have an opportunity to express their views about decisions that affect their lives.”

The proliferation of the word “should” throughout the draft documents bothered many participants, including Steve Clay of Alta Vista, who insisted it be changed to “must.”

The city could always find a way to exercise that “should” clause and exclude citizens’ voices, said Catherine Boucher, a member of the Centretown Citizens Com-

munity Association.

Glebe Community Association and Federation of Citizens’ Associations member Bob Brocklebank said citizens are tired of being treated as “window dressing” to fulfill the city’s requirement to say it consulted people.

The March 25 consultation reflected the tenor of many city consultations, said several participants, including Dance.

He said it’s difficult for residents to respond to the city’s request for feedback when they are not presented with “real options.”

“You’re saying, ‘This is how we are going to do it,’” he said. “You need to go back farther.”

Sharing information and helping citizens be informed about the issues they’re being consulted on are important, Clay said, and others agreed.

Manjit Basi, one of the founders of a new communityengagement non-profit called Citizens Academy, said, “Empowerment is a pre-requisite to collaboration.”

Central Park resident Stuart Sykes agreed. If the underlying requirements and process doesn’t change, altering the way consultations are conducted won’t make much difference, he said. For instance, rezonings are not designed to reveal details of what’s planned for a new building early on, he said.

Historic building crumbles A portion of the Ogilvy building at 126 Rideau St. began to collapse over the weekend of March 23 and 24. The collapse did not affect the heritage facade of the building, which will be part of the new development of the Rideau Centre, but caused Nicholas Street between Rideau and Besserer streets to be closed. The Ministry of Labour is investigating.

Glebe Annex condo tower gets planning OK Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Despite opposition by Glebe Annex residents to an 18-storey tower at Carling near Bronson – a property the developer said is a “difficult site” to build a condo –the planning committee approved the project on March 26.

Several residents and rep-

Taggart Homes plans to put the 59-metre tall condo tower on a site that’s currently zoned for nine and four storeys.

There is currently an eightstorey office building and surface parking on the site, which spans much of the block between Clemow and Carling at Bronson Avenue.

Taggart originally suggested a 24-storey building before reducing it to 20 and then 18

storeys.

The proposal includes a podium that’s four storeys tall at the street edge before stepping up to the fifth, sixth and seven storeys, topped with the tower.

Capital Coun. David Chernushenko didn’t support the proposal, particularly because it’s a one-off rezoning.

resentatives from community groups in the area repeatedly told the committee that the amount of intensification proposed is too much for what they describe as a low-rise neighbourhood. “(It shows) little regard for neighbours who have already chosen to make these neighbourhoods their own,” said Glebe Annex resident Brenda Quinlan.

Area parking situation described as ‘desperate’ “This is giving intensification the bad name it now has, and that’s unfortunate,” he said. “We have to distinguish on what streets and in what locations we are allowing density.”

Where to locate density in Ottawa is a challenge, said planning committee chairman Peter Hume. That’s because Ottawa has so many areas of single-family homes in its downtown.

Robert Bell of the Dow’s Lake Residents’ Association said his group and community associations for the Glebe and Glebe Annex appreciated discussions with the developer on issues like parking and traffic.

Those talks led to good improvements, like a commitment to route traffic directly onto the arterial streets rather than through the smaller, residential streets, as well as parking.

“It’s desperate right now,” Bell said of the parking situa-

tion in the area. Taggart committed to including as much parking in the tower as the market dictates, which will probably be around one parking space per unit, Bell said.

Nick Busing, one of the people who works in the eight-storey Fitzsimmons Building next door, was also concerned about parking.

Tenants of his building will have to share parking with the new condo, which will make it hard to find a space, he said. Not to mention, the tower would shadow its shorter neighbour, Busing said.

It would have retail on the ground floor, even though it’s a “harsh” environment for a store to try and succeed, said Ted Fobert, a consultant from FoTenn working on behalf of Taggart.

The new building is likely to add 47 more cars per hour during the morning traffic peak and 43 more vehicles per hour in the evening peak time.

Chernushenko wondered how the city measures the

SOCCER IN SCHOOLS PROGRAM – Run May 6 – June 27

cumulative impact on factors like traffic when it approves a series of rezoning applications in a neighbourhood.

“The area might be able to handle this, but what about the next one?” asked the councillor, who was not in support of the project.

“Is there a point at which we would or could say, ‘No, the infrastructure can’t handle any more?”

Planning boss John Smit said the city studies the traffic impact of each rezoning application and has strategies in place to reign in the ways the city will evolve.

“We would tell you if the area is over capacity for things like transportation … that’s part of the recommendation,” he said.

Council always makes the final decision, Smit added.

An undetermined amount of money the city will collect from the developer for community benefits will go towards improvements to Eugene Forsey Park and Dalhousie South Park.

“To be effective, it needs to be from the ground up,” Sykes said.

Colleen Hendriks, one of the city staffers leading the public-engagement consultation, said her team wants to get all city departments on board with using the consultation toolkit that will be developed.

“We do aspire that there will be improvements across the corporation (of the City of Ottawa),” she said.

There was some discussion about when it is appropriate for the city to consult, versus

when it is appropriate – and what it means – to collaborate with citizens, or simply inform them.

Manor Park resident Penny Thompson said the city needs to look at everything about the process, even down to small details like ensuring consultants and city staff wear name tags to identify themselves at community meetings.

Some things the city does are working, participants said.

Somerset Coun. Diane Holmes was the only councillor to participate in the first session. She listed two types of consultations that seem to go smoothly: the process for rede-

signing roads heavily engages neighbours and road users, she said, and open house-format meetings work well when they are followed by a presentation and discussion. However, city staff is sometimes reluctant to move into the group discussion format because it can become oppositional, Holmes said.

A number of meetings and an online survey available at ottawa.ca will be used to create a staff report that will be reviewed by a small group of key stakeholders in the summer before it is presented to and debated by the city’s finance and economic development committee in the fall.

Fentanyl dose, availability may be cut: expert Drug abused locally could potentially be de-listed by province Nevil.hunt@metroland.com

EMC news – An expert on a national drug panel believes the Ontario government may reduce access to fentanyl through dosing limits and by removing the drug from the list of those available under the provincial drug plan.

Fentanyl is a manmade opioid that is up to 100 times more powerful than morphine and comes in patch form in doses up to 100 micrograms.

The patch is meant to slowly deliver the drug to patients dealing with chronic pain over a period of 48 to 72 hours.

Fentanyl has caused addiction and death when people smoke the gel inside the patch, which delivers the patch’s full dose in a few breaths. The Manotick community has seen the drug misused locally and one young man died in 2012 after smoking the drug.

A string of home break-ins was also linked to fentanyl abusers who needed money to buy the drug.

Dr. Meldon Kahan, medical director of the Women’s College Hospital in Toronto, is a member of a national group that released First Do No Harm: Responding to Canada’s Prescription Drug Crisis.

The report, released on March 27 in Ottawa, lays out a 10-year national strategy to reduce the harms caused by prescription drug abuse.

In response to questions about Fentanyl abuse in south Ottawa, federal Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq refused to say if a prescription drug could be removed from the market as a result of

the expert committee’s work.

“It’s a complex process,” Aglukkaq said of the panel’s ongoing research and future recommendations, adding that ensuring patients have access to drugs they need is important.

Kahan called fentanyl “convenient but dangerous,” and suggested an outright federal ban on fentanyl might not be needed.

He offered some hope that Ontario will unilaterally address the abuse of the drug in this province.

“Maybe the 100-microgram (fentanyl) patch is not the safest option,” Kahan said during the press conference as the First Do No Harm report was released.

“It may not simply be a matter of Health Canada banning a particular product.”

Following the press conference, Kahan said he believes Ontario’s Health Ministry is reviewing the dose limits on fentanyl, which could see the amount of drug per patch reduced.

That could reduce the amount of the drug redirected to people who misuse fentanyl.

More importantly, Kahan said Ontario could remove coverage of fentanyl from the provincial drug plan. That would mean doctors could still prescribe the drug, but patients whose drugs are paid for by the province would have to pay for fentanyl out of their own wallets. That could prompt many legitimate fentanyl users to request their doctor to prescribe painkillers in other forms, reducing the amount available for misuse.

Nevil Hunt/Metroland

Federal Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq, left, was on hand for the release of a 10-year national strategy to reduce the harms caused by prescription drug abuse on March 27. The minister would not say if Health Canada might remove a drug from the market if an expert panel studying presciption drug abuse recommends a ban.

“It’s up to the (provincial) Ministry (of Health) to rethink these very carefully,” Kahan said of fentanyl’s dosage and financial coverage.

Earlier, Kahan said Ontario has seen a big jump in the number of people seeking treatment for opiate addiction.

“We’ve seen an increase in substance abuse in Ontario, with treatment for opiates doubling between 2004 and 2009,” he said, adding that treatment resources haven’t kept up with demand.   

CHANGES EXPECTED

The co-chairs of the National Advisory Council on Prescription Drug Misuse said all Canadians have a part to play in reducing the misuse of drugs, starting in the nation’s bathrooms. Carolyn Davison of Nova Scotia’s health department said the medicine cabinets of friends and family are the source of many drugs that end up being abused.

“But the situation cannot carry on as it is. First Do No Harm is a roadmap to change and a clear signal of where we need to go and how to get there.”

NAC co-chair Dr. Susan Ulan of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta said First Do No Harm has clear objectives.

“Our goal is to get the right medication to the right people for the right reasons,” Ulan said.

The complete report is available online at www.ccsa. ca.

cludes 58 recommendations and more are expected as the panel continues its work.

In the short term, Canadians can expect to see more public education about safe storage of prescription drugs.

Michel Perron is CEO of the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse, which partnered with the NAC to produce First Do No Harm.

“Canadians have an increasing appetite for these drugs,” he said of opiates, adding that it remains important to get drugs to those who need them.

Outhouse a scary proposition at night

D

uring the day, the outhouse held little terror for me. It was at night, when it was pitch black outside, that I dreaded the small clapboard building that sat like a sentry behind a cluster of cedar trees in our back yard.

Mother hated the outhouse for an entirely different reason. After living in New York for 18 years, she thought going outside to the bathroom was right up there with drinking tea from a saucer or wearing a soiled apron when company came to the back door. “Uncivilized. That’s all it is, just plain uncivilized,” was her constant lament.

Well, we had no choice out there in the back woods of Renfrew County. Our chances of having a flush toilet, like my little friend Joyce had in her brick house, were absolutely nil. We had no running water and there was no electricity or telephone.

The very thought of having a flush toilet in the house was like dreaming the Depression wasn’t happening!

For the longest time when I was very little, I remember our outhouse having only one hole. But eventually, after Mother complained endlessly, a new one was built by Old Herman, who was considered an outhouse authority out there in Northcote for reasons which escaped me at the time. It was after the second hole was built that my sister Audrey pointed

Ottawa City Councillor — Bay Ward Dear Neighbours, As the winter comes to a close and the major snowfalls we endured are becoming distant memories we can now finally welcome the spring. You can see it: the snow is melting, our days are longer, and the geese have returned. Although March tends to be a quieter month with March Break, my team and I were busy none the less.

March Break Over the March Break, I was pleased to welcome a group of students from the Accora Village area to Ottawa City Hall. As we toured City Hall, we discussed the many interactions the students have with City services each and every day; everything from turning on the water in the morning, to walking down the street to catch their OC Transpo bus. I also joined the homework club from Michelle Heights at the Canada Science and Technology Museum.

We took a guided tour and learned about the many fascinating displays and later the kids had independent time to visit their favourite attractions. acorn healthy hoMes ForuM I participated in the Healthy Homes forum hosted by ACORN. The focus of the discussion was rental housing conditions in Ottawa. The panel included a number of other City Councillors, by-law officials, and ACORN board members. City by-law officials presented a new approach to handling complaints about properties. The forum was open to the public and it also included a question and answer period for residents. I also attended a press conference with Mayor Watson and Councillors Hume and Fleury where we addressed derelict buildings and the City’s commitment to working with tenants and landlords to ensure everyone has a healthy home, and a safe and clean community. unpaid traFFic Fines I joined Ministers Naqvi and Murray as well as Mayor Watson and fellow Council members for the Provincial Government’s announcement to introduce legislation calling for an amendment to the Ontario Highway Traffic Act which will allow municipalities to target out-of-province licence plates for driving infractions such as running red lights and parking tickets. This legislation, if passed, will assist our City to re-coup the millions of dollars that are outstanding and more importantly help to keep our City streets safe for everyone.

out the bevelled seat Old Herman was famous for.

Well, the bevelled seat did little to endear the outhouse to Mother and did less for me, who still dreaded going out once night had settled in.

Old Herman had put a latch on both the inside and outside of the door too, which was a vast improvement over the stone on the floor that you shoved with your foot to keep the door closed once you got seated.

Yes, the new outhouse was an improvement, but Mother still lamented daily about how it was “an uncivilized way of life” which she never quite got used to.

My friend Joyce also had a storebought roll of real toilet paper in her indoor bathroom. It hung on a wire holder on the wall and even when I didn’t have to go, I never failed to use the bathroom when I visited her house. I would reef off a piece of that store-bought toilet paper, just to witness the sheer luxury of the whole experience.

Our toilet paper was the nolonger current issue of the Eaton’s

catalogue. Father would drive a spike through the upper left corner of the thick book and feed a piece of heavy binder-twine through the hole, and hang it on a nail on the inside near the door. An entire page was never fully torn out, and by the time the catalogue was well used up, it was almost useless. But it was all we had.

Well, except at Christmas time.This was when Mother would ask Mr. Briscoe if she could have the little orange wrappers that came around the oranges he brought in to his General Store only at Christmas. They were only about six inches square, but she would iron them flat and put them in the back-to-the-wall cupboard in a neat little pile and they replaced the Eaton’s catalogue in the outhouse only when we had company. We children were well warned not to use the orange papers -- they were there for a higher clientele.

A big pail of lime sat in a corner of the little black outhouse and we were instructed to use a dipper of it often.

I confess, I found that chore had little appeal to me.

During the day, I had little fear of going into the outhouse, but once it got dark at night, I was filled with dread. So as soon as the daylight started to fade, I made awfully sure I made a trip out behind the trees to the little building. But the very thought of going through the entire night without emptying my bladder was all it took to create an urgent need.

This was when I would beg Audrey to come with me. She thought I was old enough at five or six to go on my own, so I would ask her to light the lantern even thought it had yet to get absolutely dark out. I would go through the summer kitchen and then the wood shed, a long-about way of getting there, because that way I was under cover for most of the trip.

My brother Emerson, whose mission in life seemed to be to scare the living daylights out of me every chance he got, would always warn me to stay clear of the coyotes or the big black bear he assured me would like nothing better than to haul a young girl off to the bush.

So going out to the outhouse became a constant challenge for me once it got dark at night. There was always the Johnny pot under the bed, but to use it before we retired was out of the question. It was there for emergencies, Mother said. I couldn’t think of a more dire emergency than forcing a young terrified girl out in the dark at night to go to the privy.

Like the silos that were on every farm, the tin mailboxes at the end of the lanes, the hay lofts, the pumps over the wells in the middle of the yards and piles of manure at the back of every barn, the outdoor privy was very much a sign of the times during the 1930s. Each very much a necessity for our very survival.

Why eat organic?

Eating organic food is all about knowing what’s really going on your plate

have shown that the current antibiotics resistance observed in humans is the direct result of the use of growth hormones and medications given to cattle and pigs raised for slaughter.

This is just one of the reasons why organic food is increasingly popular among consumers.

An organic product does not contain any more vitamins than a similar non-organic product. A carrot is still a carrot, whether it’s organic or not. Choosing to buy organic is based solely on ecological and social reasons. Buying an organic carrot means knowing exactly what is on your plate.

Even better, buying locally produced organic foods means encouraging local producers and reducing the amount of greenhouse gases produced by the transportation of food over long distances.

What a great way to contribute directly to the good health of our country and make the most of Mother Nature’s bounty.

EMC lifestyle - The organic food and drink industry has expanded rapidly, experiencing an average growth of 20 per cent per year on a global scale.

What motivates people to buy organic foods?

Health, wholesomeness, and respect for the environment are sure to be found at the top of the list.

An organic-certified food is produced without the use of any chemical products.

The difference between organic and non-organic foods is the absence of all chemical pesticides, herbicides, and preservatives.

Eating organic, like our ancestors did, is the only way to avoid the involuntary consumption of substances that are potentially hazardous to our health.

Did you know that over time, the ingestion of many food industry chemical substances can lead to a weakening of the immune system and have harmful effects on the mental, cognitive and physical development of children?

Hillcrest band greets China’s giant, cuddly visitors Eddie Rwema

eddie.rwema@metroland.com

EMC news – If there is a day the Hillcrest High School band will never forget, it is March 25, when they performed O Canada as a FedEx cargo plane transporting a pair of giant pandas touched down at Toronto’s Pearson Airport.

China is allowing two of its giant pandas to spend five years at the Toronto Zoo followed immediately by another five years at the Calgary Zoo, marking the first time in more than 20 years that a giant panda has been loaned to a Canadian zoo and a first for a ten-year loan from the Chinese government.

The pandas were the sole cargo on a FedEx cargo plane that flew halfway around the world from Chengdu Shuangliu to Toronto.

Fifty students who make up the high school concert band left Ottawa at 4 a.m to participate in the ceremony, after it was announced they had won the FedEx Canada Panda con-

test.

FedEx will also be donating $5,000 to Hillcrest High School for winning the contest.

Music teacher, Jeannie Hunter described the experience as humbling.

“This is such a wonderful opportunity. Our success is a tribute to the kids’ creativity and our Hillcrest community’s support,” said Hunter, adding that the band was proud to represent Ottawa at the event.

The schools were required to submit a video of their band or choir performing any song for them to have the chance to win the contest.

“We really didn’t have a lot of planning time since we got to know the details on Thursday, one day before the March break,” said Hunter.

“We shot it before lunch on Friday, edited it, uploaded it and that was it.”

FedEx spokesperson Adrian Grundy said coordination of the panda shipment from Chengdu to Toronto took “more than 100 people” on two continents, and that the bears will be kept

in “specially designed enclosures” for the duration of their more than 11,700-kilometre journey.

“Obviously it caters for their needs to go to the toilet,” he said. “And it’s only carrying the pandas and their travelling bamboo and things like that.”

The bears will also have water, apples, some favourite toys, two attendants and a veterinarian with them every step of the way.

Teacher Hunter said the $5,000 donation is a sizeable chunk of money, certainly far more than her budget.

“It is going to allow us to make a few legacy purchases,” she said.

Hunter added that students will have a say on how that money is spent.

“It will be a collective decision with the kids and me,” she said.

Five-year-old Er Shun and four-year-old Da Mao will be quarantined for 30 days at Toronto Zoo and kept away from the public until a special exhibit opens later this year.

Hillcrest High School band members perform O Canada as a FedEx cargo plane transporting a pair of giant pandas touched down at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport.

Besides winning the contest, the Hillcrest band were also awarded passes for the zoo to go back once the panda exhibits opens.

“I felt a sense of disbelief in some ways when I figured out we had won, because it all happened so quickly,” said Hunter.

She said the competition has energized her and the band even more.

“I feel excited and moti-

vated. It’s been great for the school spirit. It was a fantastic opportunity to bring everyone together,” said Hunter.

She hailed FedEx for running the contest.

“It is fantastic that FedEx thought of doing it and donating the money to a high school music program,” said Hunter.

“The arts are so important and funding can be so difficult.

It’s great that they thought of this as an opportunity to help

other people as well.”

She said the entire experience was a great surprise for her.

“It is quite an unusual opportunity to play O Canada for two giant pandas,” said Hunter.

“It wasn’t something that was even in my mind and then boom it happened.”

Fabric sale to help womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sewing co-operative Sale to help Eco Equitable raise money for new Heartwood House space michelle.nash@metroland.com

EMC news - A local charity is challenging fellow sewing and craft fanatics to grab as much fabric as they can, all while raising much needed funds for the organization.

Eco Equitable program is a non-profit organization which started as a womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sewing co-operative which uses donated and recycled material to help teach its clients how to sew and build a sewing business. The fill a bag fundraiser on April 6 at 153 Chapel St. will help Eco Equitable raise money for renovations at its new location at 404 McArthur Ave. in July. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Its whatever you can get into the bag, we will have every type of fabric you can imagine and whatever you can fit into that into that bag, what ever you can do its all for a good cause,â&#x20AC;? said executive director Tara Templin.

Everything in its current

fabric boutique is for sale, including all kinds of fabric and a selection of buttons, zippers and other notions. Regularly priced fabric for $2-5 a metre and there will also be baked goods to purchase. All the money will go towards renovation costs at the new location.

The new space will be double what the organization currently has at its current address at 153 Chapel St. The new space will help the quickly growing organization spread its wings, with a new fabric boutique, sewing classroom and production space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s huge, we expect this to create all sorts of opportunities to increase programming space, and awareness for us,â&#x20AC;?

Templin said.

The charity is one of the 18 charities which run out of Heartwood House, a charity co-op currently located on Rideau Street, but will be moving to its own building on McArthur this spring.

Eco Equitable, a Heartwood House charity will be holding a fabric sale to help raise money to renovate its new space on McArthur Avenue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each organization is responsible for outfitting their space, the renovations are quite costly so this is Eco Equitable first attempt at fundraising,â&#x20AC;? Templin said.

Templin said the fundraiser will help the charity raise $10,000 to cover renovation costs associated with moving

into the new location.

The programming at the charity has grown over the past two years, with almost double the amount of participants and their current space in the basement on Chapel Street is tight.

Eco Equitableâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new digs will have a new store front, street access and new offices.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This move presents all kinds of opportunities,â&#x20AC;? Templin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Revenue generation possibilities, people will be able to sign up, there will be easy access for the community, and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to go through the maze of Heartwood House to find us, we really envision this new space to

become a multi-cultural hub for sewing.â&#x20AC;?

Moving further east is also something the director sees as a positive, as she said she believes it will help expand further into the francophone community. The sale begins at 10 a.m. Plastic bags will be provided.

EMC news - Roger Collins turned his life around thanks to a number of small gestures by people who believed in him.

The young Bridlewood man is now using his experiences to help other people with his organization Small Gestures Change Lives.

“I was going down a really bad path as a younger kid,” said Collins, who was criminally charged as a youth.

“Now, I’m trying to give back.”

He was charged with two criminal offenses as a 16-year-old but thanks to the persistence of the people around him, he managed to get himself on the right track. A big turning point in his life came when he was selected to travel to Solio, Kenya, with Finding Life to hike Mount Kenya and build classrooms when he was a student at Holy Trinity Catholic High School.

Finding Life was founded by Elia Saikaly as a way to engage students to create positive change in the world.

The non-profit organization uses adventure, technology, film and charitable organizations to inspire others to find a meaningful life.

Saikaly said Finding Life is a journey of self discovery.

“In Kenya, Roger Collins spent his time saving goats, building classrooms, connecting with hundreds of Kenyan kids by bringing joy and laughter into their hearts and being an inspiring responsible leader and role model,” said Saikaly.

Collins personal transformation was evident on many levels, Saikaly, shown through his daily actions and gestures and his blogs.

“If our Finding Life project ignited a spark of positive change then we certainly achieved our goal. He changed people’s lives. Including his own,” he said.

Collins is a young man with a huge heart and incredible potential, said Saikaly.

“He (may have made) some poor choices in the past, as we all have, but today he remains in my eyes a young man who has the potential to lead, inspire and make a difference in the world.”

After Collins returned from Africa, he said he didn’t want to stop making a difference.

He tried to volunteer with local organizations, but having a criminal record kept many of those opportunities out of his reach.

“I realized how much my record affected my life,” said Collins. “I wanted to start doing volunteer work on my own but I didn’t know how.”

He thought about the small gestures of kindness and encouragement he received as he worked to turn his life around – from a school chaplain, a teacher, his mother and Saikaly – and turned that into a model that could be applied to others.

“Some people put it upon themselves that they need a really big act to change something,” said Collins.

“But it’s the small gestures.

With the help of five friends – Glen Cairn resident Kerry Brezynskie, Michael Paul Robinson of Stittsville, Roxanne Ibrahim a resident of east Ottawa, Stittsville’s Alex Potvin and Katie Saikaley from Alta Vista – they brought Small Gestures Change Lives to life.

“I love helping people,” said Brezynskie, who also graduated from Holy Trinity. “It’s something I really, really enjoy.”

The team is hoping to partner with a local school, church or organization that will accommodate the plans for fundraising activities, and is looking for more members of all ages to become a part of the summer fundraising committee.

Their goal this year is to raise awareness about Small Gestures Change Lives and $10,000 for Moving Mountains, a charity that helped the Finding Life expedition members when they travelled to Kenya.

All funds raised by Small Gestures Change Lives for Moving Mountains “will be used directly in Kenya to support the education of some of the most disadvantaged children and young people in the country,” said Michael Evans, co-ordinator of Moving Mountains, in a letter. The money helps fund schooling and the longterm development of communities.

The Small Gestures Change Lives team is also working to help those closer to home. Recently, they put together nine care packages, filled with bottles of water, granola bars, pairs of jeans, sweaters, socks and personal hygiene items, and delivered them to people living on downtown streets.

elements, including amenity space, but Richcraft said the close proximity to MacDonald Gardens will make the lack of green space around the building less of an issue.

Many residents who attended the meeting expressed displeasure for the height of the building, indicating the development could be just the beginning of a long line of tall buildings in the neighbourhood.

“You are talking about one property, but the community is talking about the whole community,” said planning committee chairwoman Sophie Beecher.

The association indicated a larger conversation on the vision residents have for Rideau Street needs to take place.

President Christopher Collmorgen informed residents in attendance that Action Sandy Hill has no official position on the development yet.

“This is a learning experience for us,” he said.

The re-zoning and Official Plan amendments are subject to the approval of planning committee. Richcraft would then submit its site plan application, at which time Tremblay said another public consultation would take place to discuss more details of the project.

EMC news - Richcraft Homes showed off its latest plans for a condominium tower proposed for the corner of Rideau and Cobourg Streets at the monthly Action Sandy Hill meeting on March 25.

“This proposal has many community focal points,” said Miguel Tremblay, a planning consultant for Fotenn working on behalf of Richcraft.

The plans show a five-storey podium fronting Rideau and Cobourg streets, stepping back to 18-storeys at the highest point. An additional fourstorey building will front onto Besserer Street.

Action Sandy Hill, along with other area community associations, met with Richcraft a few months ago to discuss the design and plans. At that time, the Action Sandy Hill planning committee asked representatives from the developer to meet with the community to discuss the proposal.

This is the second time Richcraft has proposed a building for the site. Back in late 2002, a nine-storey building was proposed and approved by the city. The decision was quickly appealed to the Ontario Mu-

nicipal Board by Action Sandy Hill in 2003, on the grounds the project was taller than the current zoning height for the site.

The appeal was rejected by the OMB in June 2004, but the lot remained undeveloped and no new plans were proposed until now.

The new proposal, Tremblay told those at the meeting, offers what Richcraft feels is a better use of the property.

“In the end, Richcraft can build a nine-storey slab, but I think the important thing to think about is that Richcraft is saying we can actually do this better,” he said.

Richcraft is seeking amendments to the Official Plan and a zoning bylaw to build the mixuse development.

The proposal will add 1207.74 square metres of retail space to Rideau Street with opportunities for patio space and a potential courtyard.

The proposed number of units would be 226, with 210 bicycle spaces and 264 parking spaces, all below ground.

Preliminary designs are simple, but Tremblay said the project architect is prepared to rework the facade to make it suitable for the neighbourhood.

The proposal lacks a few

Gloucester High School reunion set to impress Thousands expected at east-end school’s 50th anniversary brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC news - The doors at Gloucester High School have seen 25,000 students pass through them.

Many have returned as teachers, unable to stay away from what was once the largest school in eastern Ontario.

And thousands more will pass through the doors as alumni the weekend of May 3 to 4 during the school’s 50th reunion.

Between the two reunion co-chairmen, Kelly Oka and George Barrett, a lifetime has been spent inside the doors – each with roughly 25 years teaching experience, and the recently-retired Barrett also attended as a student.

“It’s been a second home to many of us,” said Barrett, who used to be among the now nine staff members who are Gloucester graduates.

“It’s been a place to come back to.”

Back in it’s heyday, Gloucester was the school for the east end, and was the largest school in eastern Ontario for 30 years, said Oka, who still teaches at Gloucester.

The peak 2,000 student population has allowed the school to offer French immersion, elite sport, gifted and other specialty programs over the year.

“We were able to offer so much, to so many,” Barrett said.

The school doesn’t offer all the programs that it used to, with a current student population of 725, but has continued to offer strong academic and music programs.

“This is a celebration of all days past,” Oka said. “We can think of the glory.”

The catchment area of the school has changed, as the surrounding fields that used to be home to cows and livestock developed into Orléans as known today. As the families in Blackburn Hamlet

country, and some from the United States, have already confirmed that they will be flying in to attend the reunion.

Gloucester didn’t have a 45th reunion, so there hasn’t been a chance like this for alumni to get together in 10 years.

To attend, organizers are requesting that alumni register ahead of time at www.ghs50reunion.com. The Friday events cost $45, Saturday music and athletics day is $20, and the Saturday night banquet will be $70 a person.

There will be a limited number of, but organizers are hopeful everyone will register ahead of time so they can accommodate the large numbers they expected – somewhere in the thousands.

“For the 40th (reunion), it was jam packed,” Barrett said.

Everyone who registers will get a USB with scanned pages from all 48 yearbooks – the first two years didn’t have one – on the memory stick.

“It’s the 50th, so we’re pulling out all the stops,” Oka said. “We think it’ll be the greatest reunion yet.”

Aries, some conflicting signals from a friend this week might seem like trouble is ahead. But it’s more likely that your perception of the situation is a little off.

Taurus, your imagination has a life of its own this week. You may be thinking of living on the edge a little bit in the next few days but don’t overdo it.

Gemini, avoid a deep discussion about your feelings with someone at work this week. Now is not the time or the place to share anything personal, so keep it professional.

Cancer, don’t get sidetracked this week because coworkers are expecting your full attention and effort at the office. You may need to juggle a few responsibilities for the time being.

Leo, make sure you comments are not misinterpreted this week.

Someone might take something the wrong way, so choose your words carefully.

Virgo, you may be feeling great physically, but there is a nagging problem that you simply cannot identify. Give it time and it will come to the surface.

Libra, you know what you want and do not need anyone’s approval, but you can’t help checking in with a family member this week to get a second opinion.

Scorpio, channel your romantic feelings into action this week. Act sooner rather than later and make the most of your emotions while they’re strong.

Sagittarius, learn from the past but do not allow letdowns from the past to dictate your future. There is no guarantee that things will be repeated.

Capricorn, write things down this week before you say them to be sure you have everything correct. This will help you when you need to make an important announcement.

Aquarius, you may feel like escaping to a fantasy world, but that does not mean the pressing matters will simply disappear. A vacation may recharge your batteries.

You are in much better shape than you think you are, Pisces. So don’t be too hard on yourself this week. It is alright to put your feet up.

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks 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!
