News – One thing local Liberals and Progressive Conservatives can agree on is their surprise at the NDP withdrawing support for the budget last week, resulting in an election call.

Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren repeated over and again during an interview last Friday that the proposed budget included “nothing new.”

“They carry on spending and raising taxes. No new ideas. It’s the same stuff,” he said. “There’s nothing new here; same as before. It’s time for a change because there’s nothing new here.”

However, there must have been new proposals because NDP leader Andrea Horwath withdrew support last Friday, triggering the June 12 election.

News – If almost 50 per cent of Ontario babies were being drugged with dangerous antipsychotics and sedatives, the government would take action.

However, according to a recent Toronto Star column by Thomas Walkom, because it is happening to seniors in nursing homes, there is a “nonchalant” reaction from politicians.

Runners depart at the 18th annual Diefenbooker Classic Sunday, May 3 in Carp. The event drew 734 participants and raised $20,553 for the three West Carleton branches of the Ottawa Public Library. For more coverage of the event, see Pages 6 and 7.

“Far too many nursing homes are doping elderly clients with powerful antipsychotic drugs. The reason? Old people, particularly those suffering from dementia, are easier to handle when heavily drugged,” said Walkom.

“And eventually, when some die from the side effects of these powerful drugs, there is a readymade excuse: They were old.”

“It’s great exercise, good training and great discipline,” said Ron, adding they all usually train three times a week. “It’s fun; it’s as good for adults as it is for kids.”

Both Lucie and Eric said their favourite thing about training is learning and practicing various kicks.

“They’re fun,” said Lucie. “You get to jump and fly and spin, and I like doing that.”

“It’s a chance to celebrate in front of their friends and family. Many of them have put five, 10 and even 20 years into their training,” said Sparks.

One of those students is 49-year-old Cheryl Brost. She tested for her fourthdegree black belt in November.

Brost began training and instructing at Sparks’ school 10 years ago as a second-degree black belt and has been studying taekwondo for two decades.

After her initial instructor passed away, she spent two years searching for another school. She chose Sparks because of the atmosphere and commitment to the students.

“It’s family oriented,” she said.

“This is more about finding what each student needs.”

Brost trains three times a week, working on her basics and perfecting the various patterns.

“It keeps me motivated,” she said. “I like the personal challenge. You compete with yourself.” Sparks, who tested for his sixth-degree over the May 3 weekend, said it’s gratifying to watch his students advance.

The Schlosser-Robert family’s goal is to earn their black belts. The family, comprised of Ron Robert, his wife Maggie Schlosser, and their 10-yearold twins Eric and Lucie, are about halfway there at the blue-belt level.

MPP, Liberal riding president surprised by election call Continued from front

Many observers called it an ‘NDP budget’ with its planned tax hike on those earning more than $150,000 and an Ontario pension plan. Horwath said the details were less important than past broken promises and multiple scandals. “I have lost confidence in Kathleen Wynne and her ability to deliver,� she said during a news conference that day. “This budget is not a solid plan for the future. It’s a mad dash to escape the scandals by promising the moon and the stars. Well, I’m not the kind of woman that believes those kind of promises. I come from a simpler place.�

With the New Democrats joining the Progressive Conservatives in a vow to defeat the government by way of a non-confidence vote, Wynne bowed to the inevitable and asked Ontario Lieutenant Governor David Onley to dissolve Parliament to pave the way for a provincial election.

Under the Elections Act, the vote would have normally taken place June 5, but because that day was deemed to have religious significance (Jewish Shavuot), the election will be held Thursday, June 12.

It makes for a bizarre scenario that sees the Liberals’ spending promises to the left; and the NDP, pledging to cost-out spending, straddling the middle.

MacLaren, first elected in 2011, doesn’t talk about spending, just tax cuts. He made no mention of local projects that would or wouldn’t be funded by a PC government.

MacLaren said the provincial pension plan idea is yet another tax increase, like the fuel and cigarette tax hikes the Liberals are calling for. “Since when is a tax an investment,� he said. “That’s a removal of an investment.�

The pension plan would pull $15 billion a year out of the economy until 2017. Only then would it make payouts.

Economists have noted inherited wealth is outpacing earned wealth, hence directing money into a pension program that invests in markets is a collective way to pay for retirement.

The PCs argue people should pay for their own retirement, and that those who are struggling to pay off utility or credit card bills don’t have anything left to contribute to another pension plan.

The PCs are campaigning on their Million Jobs Plan that sees cuts to the public sector, green energy projects, and hydro costs. The party sees potential in mining and other resource-based industries.

In 2011, MacLaren handily won with just over 50 per cent of the vote. Liberal Megan Cornell was second with 34 per cent. New Democrat Liam Duff finished with 11 per cent, Scott Simser of the Green Party had 3 and Cynthia Bredfeldt of The Family Coalition Party of Ontario was last with less than 1 per cent.

Liberal riding president Graham Findlay was still frustrated by how the last campaign ended. He said Cornell was a well-spoken, knowledgeable candidate who campaigned on inclusiveness. But too many voters at the all-candidates’ debates were simply antiLiberal. “MacLaren didn’t have to justify his positions at those meetings,� said Findlay, who lives in Dunrobin. “They could have

run a Volkswagon Beetle and it would have won.�

He said pulling the plug on Premier Kathleen Wynne’s government could “prove the demise� of the NDP party, and that PCs are “rejoicing� over the opportunity.

The flaw in the conservative ideology, Findlay said, is the assumption people live in isolation and get ahead or fall behind on their own. “Who’s going to build the roads and stop the flooding on your land,� Findlay said. “There are lots of folks that don’t care what goes on beyond their fence. It’s frustrating this isolation model of living because it’s not feasible.�

He said the so-called ‘common sense revolution’ of the Mike Harris days, of which

PC leader Tim Hudak was a player in and who would like to see reconstituted, caused undue hardship to Ontarians.

Hospital closures, school teachers without textbooks, rolling brownouts: Findlay said it made for difficult times. Like today, the public sector was seen as a drain on the economy, not a stabilizing force and model for the private sector to emulate. “He exploded things,� he said. “I can see its effectiveness and there’s some sympathy for that (vilifying public sector workers) position.

And ‘common sense’ was a good hook.

But how do you do it in a way that doesn’t cause a net detraction in the GDP? Spending cuts and tax cuts in themselves are not enough.�

Diefenbooker Classic becoming a family affair Sherry.haaima@metroland.com

Sports – They cycled, ran and walked. And when all was said and done, the Ottawa Public Library came out the big winner.

There were 734 people registered for the 18th annual Diefenbooker Classic and $20,553 was raised. The money will be shared between the three West Carleton branches of the Ottawa Public Library.

Diefenbooker committee chair Hugh Urbach said conditions were ideal for the event.

“We had a four-hour window that was ideal, the sun wasn’t too bright, it wasn’t too windy, it wasn’t too hot and it didn’t rain,” he said.

Numbers were down about 100 registrants, but the event was extremely successful, overall.

“Volunteers, organizers, participants – they thought it was one of the best organized runs we ever had,” said Urbach.

He is pleased to see the Diefenbooker Classic has become a true family affair for many.

“The other thing that really struck me was the number of families that were participating,” he said. One family from Ottawa had five members who completed the five-kilometre run and a Carp family had similar number participating.

Family involvement goes part and parcel with the event’s purpose.

“The main purpose of the event is to get people out and physically active and the second purpose is to get funds for local libraries,” said Urbach, who has been on the committee for about eight years.

To what does he attribute the continued success of the event?

“It has to be the volunteers, there’s tremendous work involved,” said Urbach. There are about 45 volunteers involved on race day and the committee is made up of 12 people.

“From my point of view I was pleased to see the number of people I knew locally who were there as volunteers. Our adult volunteers were very plentiful,” said Urbach.

Among the cost reductions for this year’s event were two police officers who volunteered their time.

Events included cycling (5-km, 18-km, 33km), running (5-km, 5-km team, 10-km), walking (5-km), youth running (Loonie Loop for 26 years and 1-km for 12 years and under).

A unique feature of the Diefenbooker Classic is the route takes participants through the blast tunnel of the Diefenbunker, Canada’s Cold War Museum. Top three winners in each category received a Diefefenchunk medal. The ‘chunk’ on the medal is concrete, certified as having come from a secret location at the Diefenbunker War Museum itself.

Again this year, the individual with the most pledges collected won a choice of a one-year adult membership to the YMCA, valued at $650 or a barbecue donated by Deka Home Building Centre of Carp.

The person with the second most pledges receives the prize not collected.

Racheal Bruce had the most pledges and Lori Fielding was next in line.

A special mention was made to the participants of the Learn to Run Clinic run by Dale Mulligan and her pace bunnies

Derailing the blame game

T

he city is waging a war of words with Via Rail over recent malfunctions at Barrhaven rail crossings and, unfortunately, the fallout is public safety.

Via fired the latest broadside last week, sending out a press release that accused two OC Transpo buses of failing to stop at rail crossings on April 25 and 28, and in one instance, damaging a crossing gate.

The accusation caught the city off guard, leaving council scrambling for more information about the two alleged incidents. Diane Deans, the chairwoman of the city’s transit commission, said it was the first time anyone at city hall had heard about it.

The city later met with representatives from Via and Railterm to review both alleged incidents and concluded that while the Fallowfield crossing did go into fail-safe mode on April 28, the incident wasn’t caused by the crossing gate making contact with an OC Transpo bus, according to a letter written by Mayor Jim Watson on April 29. A statement released

by Via on May 1 concurred with that assessment, but maintained that the buses in both incidents “stopped beyond the stop line,� and indicated that “these types of breaches are unacceptable.�

It’s a little disturbing that the city first learned about Via’s findings through the media, but hardly

surprising, considering the history between the two following a collision between an OC Transpo bus and a Via train at a Barrhaven crossing last September, which resulted in the deaths of six people.

Over the ensuing months, the city received reports of major issues with signals at six Via crossings in Barrhaven. Frustrated by the number of signal malfunctions, council soon started criticizing Via, with the mayor threatening to ask the Ministry of Transportation to intervene and force Via to do its job.

What we have here is failure to communicate.

The mayor said both sides need to stop playing the blame game. A good start would be for the city to find ways to enforce its bylaw requiring bus drivers to stop at signalled rail crossings, instead of pointing accusatory fingers at Via. That this is an election year and council is spooked over the potential for legal fallout from the collision seem to only fan the flames of councillors’ desperation to avoid being caught in the fallout.

For its part, Via must get its act together and fix the signals at rail crossings in Barrhaven, and not spend so much effort seeking a scapegoat.

Both sides must find ways to improve communication – we all end up losing by playing the blame game.

COLUMN

Is it time to take a stand against sitting?

S

itting is the new smoking, we’ve been reading. Incessantly we’ve been reading it. So incessantly that “sitting is the new smoking� is the new annoying cliche.

Still, there’s no denying it. Expert after expert tells us, through our helpful news media, that excessive sitting -- which is to say, the sitting that we all do -- is responsible for such things as sore backs, elevated risk of heart disease, diabetes and cancer.

Hence, sitting being the new smoking.

Most of us fall into the at-risk category.

According to Statistics Canada, in a study quoted by Canadian Press, only 15 per cent of adults in Canada are getting the recommended guidelines of 150 minutes of physical activity a week.

The sad irony of this is that virtually the entire history of our civilization involves a struggle to allow us to sit more. When farmers produced surplus food, it enabled more people to live in towns and cities, where they could take jobs that enabled them to sit instead of walk around fields. When industrialization and mechanization produced machines and assembly lines, it took fewer people to make the products we needed. So the others could sit, becoming lawyers and journalists and image

All of this was considered progress. And when you look at the innovations of recent decades, the result was the same: more sitting.

The mobile phone meant you didn’t have to get up to answer the phone. The remote control meant you didn’t have to walk across the room to change the channel. The Internet meant you didn’t have to go to the dictionary or the encyclopedia to look something up.

Plus, sports editors didn’t have to get up to answer calls from drunks at 1 a.m. to settle arguments about who scored a short-handed goal in 1959, because now the drunks could look it up on their phones.

It didn’t occur to us, as we invented these things, that we were contributing to our doom.

We thought they were nice. Imagine being

able to mute Don Cherry without getting off the couch! Imagine being able to look up the proper spelling of “achieve� without having to lift that heavy dictionary off the shelf.

The parallels with smoking are not exact, as we shall see, but there is one here. The generations of heavy smokers who were our parents and grandparents were told that smoking would make them more sophisticated and desirable and that, far from being associated with health risks, cigarettes were smoked by doctors. Similarly, no one told us there was anything wrong with sitting. In our modern society, we associated sitting with working hard at our desks and working hard was a good thing.

Where the parallel is not exact is in the fact that, so far, no social stigma attaches to smoking. Beginning about 25 years ago, smokers became pariahs, banished from workplaces, public spaces and people’s living rooms. That has not happened to sitters -- so far.

But it is an intriguing possibility. Imagine the chairs disappearing from people’s living rooms, much as the ashtrays did. Imagine the chairs vanishing from the office, so that people who want to sit have to have to go outside for chair breaks.

Anti-sitting zealots will demand non-sitting

zones in public places and at major events (we have already had a preview of this in the recurring debate about lawn chairs at music festivals in the city).

From there it is a short step to sitting-cessation programs, the marketing of stop-sitting aids and a debate about second-hand sitting.

We will also have to be prepared to deal with the invention of electronic sitting.

It may work. Sitting may become a thing of the past. But we have to be ready for the consequences of that. Can Canada accommodate all the new non-sittings? More specifically, does Ontario have a place to stand?

Here’s to the magical mystery tour called Motherhood Lifestyle - I became a mama on March 2, 1989. I was a month short of my 21st birthday.

Following the birth, my British obstetrician brought me a six-pack of Guinness and told me to drink it. He said it would help bring in the breast milk.

I will never forget the feeling when I rather suddenly, with a course of surprising convulsions in the breast area, morphed from a flat-chested recent teenager into a voluptuous, lifegiving woman.

I shuffled in my hospital slippers into the bathroom to admire my new bust in the mirror. Alas, I only got to keep those as long as I was breastfeeding.

The decision to become a mother, I once read, is like agreeing to have your heart beat outside your own body. And as a mother, you go through phases where you feel extremely close to and fulfilled by your children, and other phases where you feel slightly detached and removed.

Motherhood is a mind game, a thrill ride and an epic drama, all rolled into one.

We define ourselves by our success and failures, and motherhood can teach us harsh lessons.

Our relationships with our mothers (and with our fathers) help to shape us as people. Our relationships with our children help to shape them into the adults they will be and so on

DIANA FISHER Accidental Farmwife it goes.

I think the biggest lessons in my life have not been the ones I have taught my children but rather the ones they have taught me, as we all went through the phases of child rearing, divorce and blending into a new family.

I am so proud of the independent women they are – not because of my parenting but because of their own strong characters.

My girls and I were recently the models for a Mother’s Day campaign.

We were asked to ‘glam it up’ for the photo shoot, in dressy black tops and full make-up, with our best hair.

Getting four busy women together at the same time in the same place is a feat in itself. Milena had to be brought in the night before to sleep at her sister’s house in Kemptville.

Anastasia was up before dawn as usual so that wasn’t a problem, but I went early to Paulina’s place on that Saturday morning because, as a night person, I knew she would need a fire

lit under her to get her going.

When I arrived, Milena was running around in search of a hair dryer. Paulina admitted she didn’t own one.

Milena, who has her mother’s fine hair, was a bit distraught to say the least. “But I need it to puff my hair up! How can a person live without a hair dryer?!”

I offered to run to Giant Tiger to get her one, but she adapted.

We each chose a black top to wear, as per the photographer’s instructions, and made it just a few minutes late to our appointment at the residence and photo studio of Elenora Luberto (jemmanphotography.com) in the eQuinelle subdivision.

Elenora opened the door with a big smile on her face that said she was happy with our hair and makeup (despite our decision to opt out of the false eyelashes that most of us cannot deal with).

Upon inspection of our outfits, however, Paulina and I had to change.

Her v-neck sweater was too casual and my button-up blouse made it appear that I was simply late for work.

The photo shoot lasted just over an hour, but it gave all of us a better respect for professional models.

At the end of the session of arching that back, leaning toward the camera, squatting just so and holding that pose, we all felt like we had just been through a workout with a professional fitness trainer.

Here are some of the comments that I saved throughout the session, first from the photographer: “If I curse, that means it looks goooood.”

“No burping, no farting.” And from my oh-so-elegant and ladylike daughters whilst trying to hold the prescribed pose: “Hey I don’t fart.” “ooops I just burped.”

“My face is itchy … whose hand am I holding anyway?” “My quads are screaming!”

“I smell peanuts.”

“I took a biscotti.” “Now I’m hungry. That was my stomach.” “Shut up!”

And the prize-winner that cracked us all up: “Someone’s boob is on my shoulder.”

The resulting photos; some serious, some Mona Lisa smile, some busting into communal laughter, are timeless reminders that despite my days of doubt and nights of worry, somewhere along the way my three girls and I turned out okay.

To the editor:

The vicious mauling of a 14month-old child on Sunday, April 27, in Nepean will again raise many issues and concerns about aggressive dogs, and rightfully so.

One solution to reducing dog attacks resides in the licensing of all dogs.

All dogs kept in the city, and, infact, in all municipalities across the province, must have a valid dog license.

However, it is estimated only about 20 per cent of dogs in this city are licensed.

And unlicensed dogs are less likely to be spayed or neutered, critical factors in preventing aggression.

Spaying and neutering not only helps eliminate behavioural problems, but also prevents many medical issues. The large number of unlicensed dogs in Ottawa poses, as the record clearly reveals, a threat to public health and safety.

It would be easy to argue that unlicensed animals pose as much a threat to public health as second hand smoke.

The reason the city’s anti-smoking bylaw worked is because it was enforced.

Failure by the city to enforce this bylaw constitutes blatant discrimination against those responsible owners who do choose to license their dogs - and smacks of poor governance.

The animal control bylaw must be enforced or it will not achieve its purpose. The challenge resides with the city to enforce this bylaw.

Providing the resources to enforce animal control regulations will help this community protect its residents from aggressive dogs and their irresponsible owners. Can we expect this to happen?

Cycle for CHEO raises $800,000 Lifestyle - People from all over the region got on their bikes, strapped on their rollerblades and put on their running shoes earlier Sunday as the CN Cycle for CHEO took to the streets of Ottawa to raise money to help kids with cancer at CHEO. The CHEO Foundation was thrilled to announce a grand total of $804,034 was pledged.

Two of the three members of the 2014 McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dream Team were on hand to represent the thousands of kids who rely on CHEO each year. Over the past three months, CHEO cancer patients Justin Leblanc, Michael Meehan and Madison Primeau have been helping promote the event, while raising funds themselves to help the thousands of children just like them who are fighting cancer.

Due to complications with his treatment, Justin was unfortunately unable to attend the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone at CN is thrilled to be involved in this event,â&#x20AC;? said CN CEO Claude Mongeau. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The CN Cycle for CHEO makes life better for families

dealing with pediatric cancer and that makes us proud to be the title sponsor. The enthusiasm of the people of Ottawa is infectious and we love being part of this outstanding event.â&#x20AC;?

TORIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S ANGELS

Just prior to the start of the Esso 15-km cycle and in-line skate, the annual â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Toriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Angelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tribute was held as a memorial to all of the children at CHEO whose lives have been cut short by cancer.

The tribute is named after Tori Carswell, member of the 2002 Dream Team who lost her battle with cancer in 2004 at the age of 9 years old. Also honoured were past Dream Team members Hannah Billings and Evan Simms, who also lost their battles with cancer.

This year 168 teams took part in the Ottawa Citizen Team Challenge. The winning team is Ericsson who brought in $54,364.

Congratulations goes out to Julie Villemaire who was the winner of the draw among all registered CN Cycle participants who raised over $250

for airfare for two to any Air Canada destination in North America.

CN along with other corporate sponsors helped to underwrite the costs of the event, which allows every dollar pledged by supporters to benefit the CHEO Foundation, Candlelighters and Ronald McDonald House and, in turn, the children and families affected by cancer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seeing former CHEO cancer patients out riding and walking amongst the thousands of participants, is a true testament to the importance of CN Cycle for CHEO,â&#x20AC;? said CHEO Foundation CEO Kevin Keohane. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many of them have battled cancer and survived. How wonderful it must be for them to be surrounded by thousands of people who want to help children just like them. On behalf of all families whose lives have been touched by cancer, I want to thank the participants, volunteers, sponsors and donors for making this important event such a huge success.â&#x20AC;?

Proceeds from CN Cycle for CHEO will be presented on the CHEO Telethon on CTV which airs June 7-8.

Missing from photo are Marilyn Sykes and Tara Azulay. June and Dick Lemmex and Marilyn Sykes, who are also retiring from the board, were thanked for their services.

West Carleton Health Access Foundation honours Winch, thanks retiring board members News - The West Carleton Health Access Foundation (WCHAF) gathered at Aliceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Village Cafe in Carp to honour Moira Winch for her outstanding contribution as chair of the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board of directors from 2009 to 2014.

Foundation members also thanked retiring board members Marilyn Sykes and June and Dick Lemmex.

Dr. Barry Bruce elaborated on the history of the Carp X-ray Clinic over the last three decades and related how the WCHAF came into being.

In 2008, when it looked like the community was going to lose access to X-ray facilities due to rising costs to operate the services within the clinic, the WCHAF, a non-profit corporation, was founded with the initial intent to raise funds to purchase new, upgraded X-ray equipment.

By 2011, enough funds were on hand and new digital X-ray equipment was purchased, providing access to the latest technology that delivers superior images with astonishing speed, Dr. Bruce noted.

Both patients and doctors have found that the usual two-week wait for reports elsewhere are typically reduced to next day and, in some cases, same-day delivery of images and radiologist reports. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an â&#x20AC;&#x153;impressive record,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Most importantly, the X-ray clinic is available to anyone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not just patients of the West Carleton Family Health Team.

Any member of the general public who has a requisition from their doctor, whether or not that doctor practices at the West Carleton Medical-Dental Centre, can utilize the service, resulting not only in excellent community access for those living in Carp, but also ready access to those outside of the village.

The WCHAF thanks the many members of the community who have and continue to contribute their donations to keeping this X-ray service operational in Carp.

The current WCHAF board, made up of Lisa Kyte, Greg Leblanc, Sylvia McGee, and Tara Azulay, will oversee efforts to ensure the continued operation of the X-ray facility.

our most colourful birds. Tree Swallows sport iridescent blue backs and wings that sharply contrast with their snow-white breast. Eastern Bluebirds bear the most striking blue of all our birds, but their breasts are robin-red, not white.

While both species might seem gentle-natured, at this time of year genuine hostility arises between them.

The hostility is due to their choice of nest sites. Both place their nests inside cavities.

Originally only tree cavities, usually excavated by woodpeckers in previous years, were used. Today bluebirds and Tree Swallows commonly nest in human-made birdhouses situated next to or in open fields.

Both species return to our area at approximately the same time, which is usually early to mid April.

Bluebirds are much less common than Tree Swallows, so they have their work cut out when they attempt to stake a claim on a nest site.

The males go seeking cavities and when they find one they lead their mate to it.

Recently I watched a pair of bluebirds going through that process. The male would lead

MICHAEL RUNTZ

A male bluebird waits while his mate inspects a potential home. his mate to a birdhouse and then peer inside it. He would then perch next to the box, patiently waiting as she sat, seemingly visually assessing their potential home.

When she flew to the box, he became visibly excited, raising his wings and waving them in the air. When she finally entered the box, his actions became even more animated.

It appeared that females are quite choosy when it comes to picking nest sites, for no fewer than three boxes were inspected and apparently rejected over the hour I was there. However, nearby, Tree Swallows deemed several other boxes to be quite suitable for their needs, and they attacked the bluebirds whenever they came too close to their boxes.

Tree Swallows aggressively

compete among themselves for nest sites and there are reports of fatalities, sometimes even caused by drowning! Females also fight, and there are reports of females killing nesting females likely in an effort to gain access to their nest site and perhaps even their male.

In recent years it has become common practice for people setting up birdhouses to place them in pairs a few feet apart so that Tree Swallows will take over one and keep other Tree Swallows from occupying the other.

This allows bluebirds to nest in the vacant box.

As long as the two species keep to their own boxes, peace reigns supreme.

ognition that there are very few places for those who work in the Carp area to grab a bite to eat and take some time ‘away’ from the office.

“We know that everyone enjoys the local restaurants, but we thought we might provide a space for employees to have a quick homemade soup with other people who work in this area,” explained Pastor Monique Stone.

Those interested are invited to join with employees in the community for a casual lunch (soup, rolls, and coffee) and some conversation away from work on the third Friday of each month – May 16, June 20, July 18, Aug. 15 and Sept. 19.

Lunch will be served on a drop-in, first-come, firstserved basis from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Christ Church Anglican, 3008 Carp Rd. For more information, call 613-839-3195.

DRUMMING WORKSHOP

Pastor Stone said the church is excited to start a drumming program and ministry in the parish.

“Through a wonderful me-

morial donation in honour of a woman who was involved in the various music activities of St. James Anglican (Roma Lett), we are able to offer this amazing learning opportunity for free to up to 20 community members,” she said.

The sessions will be led by the Baobab Tree Drumming Community and will be geared to people of all ages.

“We know that many youth and children are keen to be involved, but we welcome parents and adults of all ages to participate in both the sessions or just one,” said Stone.

The first session will feature a workshop weekend and performance on the May 24-25 weekend.

On the Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m. at St. James Church (3774 Carp Rd.), there will be a two-hour workshop for up to 20 people (all ages welcome) to learn some drumming skills and prepare a first piece for performance.

On the Sunday. the workshop group will practice for one hour (9:30-10:30 a.m.) and then present their first piece at the St. James ser-

vice. The service will also include the Baobab Youth Drumming Group who will perform that day.

Participants of the workshop session must be available for the Saturday and Sunday activities.

FOUR WEEKS

The weekend events will be followed by four weeks of drumming lessons on Mondays from June 9 to 30.

The program will be offered at the Parish Hall, 3774 Carp Rd. Participants do not have to be involved in the church community to participate in the lessons/ However, all registrants are asked to commit to the four weeks of lessons.

Registration information for both activities is found at www.huntleyparish.com.

Please note that there is limited space, but the church will try its best to accommodate everyone.

with Clean Eating and Active Living Benefits of Circuit

The Secret to

Glowing Skin

Training

Beauty is from the inside out and the secret to glowing skin is about nourishing your body.

Our top 5 tips to glowing skin are:

Cardiovascular fitness is one of the major benefits of circuit training. Your heart rate remains elevated and sustained above resting level throughout the workout. Both your lungs and hearts efficiency can improve with this training method.

1. Eat Low Glycemic Foods: A high glycemic diet tends to spike blood sugar and insulin which can contribute to acne breakouts. Stick to a whole foods, plant-rich diet low in processed food, sugar and caffeine.

2. Avoid Food Sensitivities & Allergies: There is a strong link between high dairy consumption and skin maladies such as acne and eczema.

3. Sleep On It: Getting at least 8 hours of restful sleep a night will help repair and restore skin; the hours of sleep achieved before midnight are the most effective.

4. Get Your Omegas: Omega 3 fatty acids are inflammation busters and skin lubricators, the perfect ingredient for radiant skin!

Preparation Time: 5 min | Serves: 4 | Serving Size: 1 Fillet 2 lbs salmon, cut into 4 pieces 1 tsp Farm Boy Lemon Garlic Dressing Peppery Mango Salsa 1 small red onion, diced 2 limes, freshly juiced 1/4 cup yellow and red 3 tbsp olive oil peppers, diced 1 avocado, peeled and sliced 2 tbsp zesto pesto or Sea salt and freshly your favorite pesto ground pepper to taste ¼ cup mangos, diced TM

Preheat oven to 350°F. Place salmon fillets on a parchment paper lined baking tray and drizzle with Farm Boy Lemon Garlic Dressing. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until tender.

Peppery Mango Salsa: combine onion, yellow & red peppers, mangos, lime juice, olive oil and pesto in a small bowl and mix well.

Serve salmon, layer avocado slices on top and garnish with salsa. Use sea salt and pepper to taste.

This form of training also promotes fat loss. Circuit training provides more fat and calorie burning than traditional weight lifting programs. More work is performed in less time, which results in greater caloric expenditure during the workout. Lean muscle mass is also improved which in turn increases your metabolism and allows you to burn more fat throughout the day.

The benefits of circuit training are endless, it is a great way to lose fat mass quickly, build strength and tone, as well as improve your heart and lungs.

5. Detoxify: Cleaning from the inside out, helps to keep your hormones in check and a glow to your body and energy!

The Grove Nursing Home in Arnprior was typical of those in a Health Ministry study commissioned after the Star began investigating the practice. It found nearly half of Ontario nursing home residents aged 65-79 are being given “dangerous” drugs.

In some cases drug labels dissuade from prescribing to dementia sufferers, but it is done anyway.

However, The Grove started two years ago to bring down its numbers. In fact, Leah Levesque, vice-president of patient/resident services at the nursing home, just last week presented at a conference on actions The Grove has taken.

Of the 61 residents, 35 per cent are on antipsychotics and/or sedatives, down from a high of 45 per cent.

She cautions that the number could fluctuate widely because the home is one of the smallest in the province.

But there is no doubt Arnprior Regional Health (ARH) is moving more quickly than others to wean residents off the dangerous medications.

“In 2012 we were concerned about residents being overprescribed,” Levesque said. “So we identified those ones and began weaning them off, slowly. And we monitored as their condition changed.”

She said the babies’ analogy is a faulty one.

“Do I think it’s acceptable to be drugging seniors? Absolutely not. But there is a significant difference. Seniors are mobile, for one thing.”

To her knowledge, there hasn’t been a negative consequence at The Grove in relation to antipsychotic and sedative use.

It’s not a surprise nursing homes use medication. Sometimes they are used on “exit seekers”

who are in danger of leaving the premises. Others exhibit “sexually inappropriate behaviours” and pose a danger to themselves and others, Levesque said.

Some, not unlike children, grow frustrated when words fail them. They fall back on physical expressions.

Often, residents are on nine or more different medications.

The solution, says Levesque, involves treating residents a little more like children in that their behaviours are to be monitored and diversion activities offered before they reach a crisis situation. Similar to the Montessori model, residents are offered simple tasks such as folding laundry as a way to distract them from digressing into frustration.

SEDATIVE USE STUDY

But according to Tara Gomes of the Ontario Drug Policy Research Network, the arm’slength organization that conducted the April 2014 study Antipsychotic and Sedative Use in Long-Term Care Homes in Ontario, the numbers are too high.

The study showed that residents 80 years old and above were given fewer drugs. The inference is that the younger group, because they are more active, are given more drugs. The drugs could lead to falls, bed sores, overdose and other negative outcomes.

She said a more detailed study of possible causes is needed, but that educating physicians who prescribe the drugs is part of the solution.

The practice falls within a physician’s moral and legal realm, but there is little oversight.

OPP to collect unused prescription drugs News - When a physician prescribes medication for a patient, it is only intended for that person. But sometimes when prescriptions lie around unused or expired, they can end up in the wrong hands.

The misuse of expired and unused medication can lead to prescription drug abuse, so po-

lice agencies and health organizations are working together again this year to lower the risk of that happening.

The OPP, including the Arnprior office, will be participating this Saturday, May 10 in a province-wide initiative that will provide residents an opportunity to dispose of old

and unused prescription medications. The OPP is making more than 60 detachment locations available for Prescription Drug Drop-Off Day. Officers and volunteers will be on hand to take the medications from community members from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.

Ministry promotes drug use education Continued from Page 18

“There needs to be collaboration between physicians and policymakers to ensure our seniors are not at risk,” Gomes said.

The study authors suggested physicians could be too freely offering the drug solution without enough consideration as to the dangers.

Ontario Health Minister Deb Matthews told the Star the ministry is working on an education strategy. She said she is “committed to working with” doctors but didn’t say she would advise them to be more careful. In the end it’s not her call.

“Let’s remember, it’s doctors who prescribe these drugs not the government,” Matthews told reporters in mid April.

TOO FEW NURSES

Few challenge the idea that if more caregivers were on hand, the need for medication would lessen. Twenty-five years ago there was

one nurse for every four patients. Today, with many more reaching the seniors’ demographic, the ratio is more like one to eight or 10.

Matthew Raudssus is a nurse at The Grove.

He said more staff would help, but that multiple solutions are needed.

“As a society I think we are still grappling with how we balance the use of medications versus the staffing levels. Increased front line staff helps, and sometimes medications are necessary as well.

“At every nursing home I’ve worked there could be more front line staff, including more registered nursing staff and especially more personal support workers and activity staff ,” Raudssus said.

“That’s probably not a surprise. But increasing funding for staff is not always the answer.

In some situations increased staff training, education and awareness really helps.

“Whenever all staff work together with the point of view that we’re all there to problem

News – The local OPP has issued an appeal for motorists to be patient and courteous when experiencing an expected increase in horse-drawn carriages on area roads.

Noting there have been several horse and carriages seen on local roads recently, the OPP says drivers need to recognize the Slow Moving Vehicle Emblem and take proper actions.

“Being a safe and responsible driver takes a combination of knowledge, skill and attitude,” says the OPP. “You need to do more than just obey the rules. You must care about the safety of others on the road.”

So the OPP is asking drivers on coming across slow moving vehicles such as carriages to: Brake immediately - While driving on area rural roads or highways, you may encounter horse-drawn vehicles. It is important to recognize the slow moving vehicle sign as a warning to adjust your speed. Slow moving vehicle signs are attached to the rear of animal-drawn vehicles and on other vehicles designed to travel at speeds no greater than 40-km per hour. Because it may be difficult to judge the speed at which you are closing in on such a vehicle, you should slow down immediately.

Pass with caution – Be watchful of vehicles behind you that may also try to pass. If you must enter the oncom-

ing lane of traffic, do not pass unless you can see clearly ahead of both you and the vehicle you will pass. If there are any curves or hills ahead that may block your view of oncoming vehicles, do not pass.

Leave a safe distance – Often drivers of horse-drawn vehicles may not be able to see you behind them. Following too closely is especially dangerous, as it puts yourself as well as the occupants of the horse-drawn vehicle in a hazardous position. Leave a cushion of safety between you and the horse-drawn vehicle, maintaining a measurable distance from the front of your car to the rear of the buggy. Also be aware that when stopped at a traffic light or stop sign buggies will often roll back a few feet after coming to a complete stop. Offering a safe distance gives you a chance to react if a dangerous situation arises.

Animals are unpredictable - In addition to being hard to see and slowmoving, horses can be unpredictable, easily spooked and may not react the way you would expect them to.

Renfrew OPP Detachment Commander Inspector Colin Slight reminds motorists that “road safety is every driver’s responsibility whether encountering pedestrians, cyclists, farm equipment, horse-drawn vehicles or a school bus. Being patient and courteous will help to ensure a safe arrival for everyone.”

Top dogs compete K9 officers attend training in Dunrobin adam.kveton@metroland.com

ADAM KVETON/METROLAND

A police dog and his partner grimace as they crawl through a section of the Iron Dog competition at the Connaught Range and Primary Training Centre in Kanata on May 1.

The West Carleton Review published a series of articles on my business. Now everyone knows how great we are!

News - With tails wagging and fur flying, canine participants at one of the largest police dog seminars in Canada ended with a K9 competition to find the country’s top dog.

The Ottawa police service hosted the largest Canadian Police Canine Association seminar in the group’s history, with more than 100 of North America’s top dogs attending on May 1.

The seminar, which aimed to have K9 units across the country share their training and experience, took place over four days at the Bonnenfant Centre in Dunrobin.

The seminar wrapped up with the Iron Dog competition – an intense obstacle course for dogs and their handlers that took place at the Connaught Range and Primary Training Centre in Kanata.

Dozens of dogs and their partners waded through muddy water, crawled through pipes and made their way over various other obstacles, often with handlers having to lift and coax their canine counterparts through some parts of

the course.

But all of that is part of the daily routine for K9 unit officers and their dogs, said Ottawa police Sgt. Jamie Soltendieck, Ottawa’s K9 program coordinator and one of the main organizers of the seminar.

“It’s a fun event that we put on usually at the end of the week so the dogs can get out and burn up some energy,” he said. “It’s all stuff that you encounter on a daily basis when you are working in operations with your dog.”

Though competition is friendly, Soltendieck said everyone there is out to be “top dog.”

POLICE DOGS

The Canadian Police Canine Association is the largest police canine group in Canada, though its base tends to be in western Canada, said Soltendieck. Holding the largest seminar in the association’s history in Ottawa was a big step in bringing more central and eastern Canadian K9 units into the fold, he said.

“The CPCA has a strong base in western Canada. It’s always been that way. We’ve

Police dogs and their partners walk to the start line of the Iron Dog competition at the Connaught Range and Primary Training Centre in Kanata on May 1. had some agencies from Ontario in it over the years, but we wanted to work hard to try to bring it further out east, to Ontario and beyond, so I think by all accounts it looks like we’ve been effective at doing that.”

The seminar was likely a success thanks to the instructors who came out, said Soltendieck. While instructors from across the country came to lend a hand, many from the U.S. came as well.

The seminar offered several training opportunities including medical training for major canine trauma, the use of newly developed camera technology for police dogs, narcotics and explosives tracking and more.

K9 units will be taking what they’ve learned to help improve their programs and use their dogs more safely and more effectively in their home cities.

As for the winners of the Iron Dog competition, Soltendieck wouldn’t say.

“All of our participants took something of value from the seminar and were winners,” he said.

Pets micro-chipped at clinic News - A record number of 32 pets received identification micro-chips at a clinic hosted by the Arnprior District Humane Society April 27.

Ottawa veterinarian Don Caldwell volunteered his time and talents again for the program, inserting the micro-chips into 28 dogs and four cats at the Arnprior Pet Valu store. He has offered his services a half dozen times for clinics offered by the society and well as volunteering regularly for the Ottawa Humane Society.

Arnprior Humane Society officials credit the record response to awareness mainly spread through social media. The popularity of the identification program is being fueled by a growing number of stories about missing pets on Facebook and Twitter.

As well, some pet-owners are micro-chipping their pets in response to concerns that pets are being stolen in the area, with the police on the outlook for a man in a van that reportedly has been trying to pick up dogs.

The high-profile case of two puggles missing for almost a year from a Fitzroy Harbour home has attracted a great deal of attention to the issue.

The micro-chips make it easier to determine the owners of found pets. The micro-chip number is available to the pets’ owner, veterinarian and the Oakville-based 24PetWatch company so pets can be identified.

The humane society is a strong believer in the program for both dogs and cats, offering it annually in Arnprior. It is also considering scheduling a micro-chip clinic in Renfrew this September or October.

Arnprior resident Christine Higgins is also a strong supporter of program. She had both her dogs, Cooper and Dodge, microchipped Sunday.

Dr. Caldwell also encourages all pet owners to get their pets micro-chipped. He thanked the Arnprior Pet Valu store for providing its facilities to give the program a convenient location.

UPCOMING FUNDRAISERS

The proceeds from the micro-chip clinic help the humane society fund its no-kill shelter in Arnprior.

CITY OF OTTAWA NOTICE OF A PROPOSED OMNIBUS AMENDMENT TO THE OFFICIAL PLAN In accordance with Section 22(6.4)(a) of the Planning Act and Section 11.(1) of Ontario Regulation 543/06, notice is hereby provided that an official plan amendment proposal is being considered by the Planning and Growth Management Department at the City of Ottawa.

LANDS SUBJECT TO THE PROPOSAL This official plan amendment applies city-wide.

JOHN CARTER/METROLAND

Cooper receives a micro-chip at a clinic held by the Arnprior District Humane Society April 27. Veterinarian Don Caldwell inserts the chip into the mini Golden Doddle being held by owner Christine Higgins.

The society also earns a portion of the admission fees and programs sold during the Arnprior Canine Club Dog Show to be held at the Nick Smith Centre this weekend (May 9 to 11). The show runs from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Sunday.

The society has two more fundraisers in the next six weeks. The group’s annual yard sale and barbecue will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 24 at the shelter at 490 Didak Dr. in Arnprior.

Donated items can be dropped off beginning this week (no electronics, please).

One of the society’s most important fundraisers, the annual Walkathon, will be held Sunday, June 8 at Robert Simpson Park in Arnprior. Registration begins at 10 a.m. and two- and five-kilometre walks along the Madawaska River and through Gillies Grove will run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

There will be a barbecue and door prizes.

Pledge forms are available on the society’s website at www.arnpriorhumanesociety.ca.

PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT This Official Plan amendment is proposed as an Omnibus Amendment as it comprises a number of diverse changes to the Official Plan summarised as follows: 1. Corrections to policy changes made by OPA No. 150 and other technical changes OPA No. 150 included a number of administrative and other minor errors that are being corrected by this amendment. Other technical changes correct references to other documents or legislation, such as, Provincial guidelines for stationary noise sources.

2. Source-water Protection, Noise and Interpretation Policies and Schedule K A new Schedule K was previously circulated for comments and will now be incorporated into this amendment with new text that is proposed for Section 4.8.2 Wellhead Protection. The Environmental Noise policies in Section 4.8.7 have been updated to remove outdated references and in Section 5.4 the Interpretation policies for the Plan will identify the City’s “settlement areas”.

3. Transportation changes Changes to the City’s Transportation Master Plan occurred after adoption of OPA No. 150 which now necessitates the replacement of Schedules C and J. In addition, recent Environmental Assessments for major roads have recommended different rights-of-way widths and additional changes that could not be included in OPA 150, which now need to be reflected in Annex 1 of the Official Plan.

FURTHER INFORMATION To view the application or any information or materials related to the application, please contact the undersigned planner, or go to the City’s Website ottawa.ca/ opomnibus.

NDP selects Kanata tech engineer as candidate Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

News - The day after John Hansen became NDP provincial candidate last week, he wasn’t sure if an Ontario election would occur within weeks or years. It didn’t matter to him either way.

“There are 87,000 voters in the riding and it’ll take a while to talk to them all,” said Hansen, following the Carleton-Mississippi Mills NDP campaign launch on April 29.

“I’m going to be asking to be the voice for this community.

And I promise two things in exchange: one is that I’ll work hard, that is not a problem; and second is that I will hold regular town hall meetings when elected.”

Now retired, Hansen said his experience in high tech taught him that collaboration and learning from others is crucial to composing the best solution.

The lessons will see him past the usual Liberal and Progressive Conservatives MPPs who promise transparency until they get in government, he said.

He cited the light rail train (LRT) project as typical. It will cost billions of dollars, yet not reach Kanata until 2048. Yet sitting MPP Jack MacLaren appears to have little interest in or knowledge of the plan, Hansen indicated.

“I can’t speak for Jack, but I would drill down on those numbers. Why is it not coming here?” he said.

“As an engineer, I and everyone else I worked with would like to know the numbers and assumptions.

“It’s a lot of money and we’ll be in debt for a long time.”

John Hansen will represent the New Democratic Party in the upcoming provincial election. reotypical model of a New Democrat. He claims to not know what a socialist is – other than people should be able to get to work without paying a toll, kids should have good schools, Internet services should be reasonably priced, and affordable utilities like water and electricity should be kept in public hands.

But he admits government is not always the answer – “Look at the Presto Card; that is what high tech should do” – and that private sector jobs should be priority number one.

However, corporate tax cuts haven’t worked as planned, he said. Companies are banking the money rather than spending to fuel the economy.

He wants that money spent.

“As an investor, I say a good company uses money to make money, not put it in the bank.”

But the memory of Bob Rae and the NDP in power during

a four-year stint in the 1990s looms large.

Many vowed never to let them back in power.

“Look, the Liberals are the ultimate tax-and-spenders.

NDP governments across the country have balanced more budgets and eliminated more debts than any other party,” Hansen said.

The scandal-plagued party in power for 10 years isn’t causing an exodus of poll respondents to the “right-wing Tim Hudak Conservatives with his local hardliners Jack MacLaren and Randy Hillier,” he said in a press release.

Hansen moved to Kanata 35 years ago.

He is quick to talk about challenges facing his community, even down to not enough bus stops on Terry Fox Drive south of Hazeldean Road.

Venta plants 60 new trees for Earth Day Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - Students at Venta Preparatory School celebrated Earth Day by planting 60 trees around the school’s perimeter.

The Grade 7 and 8 students didn’t seem to mind the rain and the mud as they dug holes

along the school’s running track.

“It helps the environment a lot,” said Grade 8 student Maxwell Chen, who planted a tree with the help of Sreepriya Pulyassary, a Grade 7 student.

With urban and suburban sprawl, trees are cut down every year to make way for new

developments, Maxwell said.

The school also cleared a number of trees a few years ago to create a two-kilometre running trail for students. The new saplings are helping Venta reduce its carbon footprint as well as replacing those trees cut down for the trail. Earlier, Grade 6s had also planted

trees.

“We need to re-pay back the environment,” said Maxwell.

For Earth Day, the entire school shut down all of its nonessential devices and lights to conserve power and let students experience what life was like without electricity. Many classes worked on individual projects.

CARING HANDS

Grade 7 students have started work on an interactive instillation sculpture entitled ‘Caring Hands’. Once completed, people will be encouraged to add their reflections about the environmental challenges facing the planet.

As well, the Grade 8 class has been learning about how to design a sustainable community, and the Grade 9/10 class has been investigating the environmental impacts of war.

On Earth Day, the younger classes, Junior 1 to Junior 4, had a ‘Power-out Party’, taking part in a variety of indoor and outdoor activities that did not require pushing a power button or flipping a switch.

Emmy Clare, a Grade 2 student at Venta Preparatory School, races to drop collect trash in the garbage. Students in grades 2 and 5 visited the Carp Fairgrounds on May 1 for some spring cleaning, after wet weather forced them to postpone their Cleaning the Capital Campaign on Earth Day.

Venta Preparatory School students Jake Hoddinott, left, in Grade 2, and Henry Waldron, in Grade 5, find a discarded leash on the property of the Carp Fairgrounds. Students traversed the large lot, collecting and discarding trash unearthed after the snow melt as part of the City’s Cleaning the Capital Campaign.

Continued from Page 30

The younger students played board games, skipped rope, made origami art and more.

Some of the classes joined in the Tim Hortons Clean the Capital Campaign.

The Junior 4 class be tidied the school grounds, while the J2 and J5 classes cleaned the Carp fairgrounds.

In a news release, the school notes that students and staff “have the privilege of being surrounded by nature each day.”

The 50-acre forested property is the school’s playground, athletic arena, scientific observatory and, most importantly, “our responsibility,” says the release.

“It is a constant and important reminder to us that we must be active care-takers of our environment, both inside and outside our grounds.”

The school points out that Venta staff and students took part in the Earth Day activities to promote conservation and environmental awareness. “Recognizing we are stewards of our earth is one of the most important lessons one can both teach and learn.”

As Margaret Mead once said: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”

At Venta Preparatory School, “we truly believe that,” said the school. “Through awareness and working together, we can make change happen.”

SPRING CLEANING

Students in grades 2 and 5 visited the Carp fairgrounds on May 1 for some spring cleaning after wet weather forced them to postpone the trip on Earth Day. The students picked up trash littered around the grounds as part of their Cleaning the Capital Campaign.

The objective of this project is to improve transit service by removing the requirement for eastbound transit vehicles to merge with highway traffic between Pinecrest Road and the Southwest Transitway. The scope of the project includes modifications to the S-E directional ramp and relocation of existing utilities and signage to accommodate ramp modifications.

The design of these improvements takes into consideration the ultimate cross-section of Highway 417, which will incorporate four lanes of traffic in each direction.

THE PROCESS While this is a City of Ottawa project, the work is being carried out within the Highway 417 corridor and is following the approved environmental planning process for Group ‘B’ projects under the Ontario Ministry of Transportation’s Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000). The purpose of this notice is to inform the public that a Design and Construction Report (DCR), documenting the detail design, has been prepared and will be available from May 8, 2014 to June 7, 2014 for a 30day public review period. The DCR can be reviewed at the following locations during normal hours of operation: Ottawa City Hall Info Desk 110 Laurier Avenue West Ottawa, ON K1P 1J1

Ottawa Public Library Nepean Centrepointe Branch 101 Centrepointe Drive Ottawa, ON K2G 5K7

Monday to Sunday: 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Monday to Thursday: 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Friday: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Saturday: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Sunday: 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Dr. Alan Franzmann

COMMENTS Interested persons are encouraged to review the DCR and provide comments by June 9, 2014. If there are no outstanding concerns after the 30-day review period has expired, further documentation will not be prepared and construction may commence without further notice.

NEWS

Lansdowne stadium, but little else, will open on July 18 Stores and restaurants begin opening in fall; Park, condos to be completed in 2015 Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - When TD Place opens for the first RedBlacks game on July 18, up to 2,400 fans will be left wanting for a place to grab a bite or beverage before or after the game.

With 1,100 workers busy on the site, the stadium will be ready in time for kick-off, said Bernie Ashe, the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group, which operates the club. But almost nothing else will be done.

Still, sports fans will be excited to stroll through the commercial plaza and see the initial results of the $290million redevelopment, Ashe said. The city and OSEG partnered to redevelop the city-owned site, which used to house a partially dilapidated stadium, an OHL arena and convention centre, as well as two heritage buildings.

The exterior of the new

shops will be done, but they’ll be empty, Ashe said.

“We have some plans that we’re going to be able to create some pre-game entertainment and welcome fans in the retail area, however, the retailers themselves are not going to be open until the fall,” Ashe said.

There will be “music and fun” outside in the retail area before and after games, Ashe said.

But if people want to get food or drinks before or after the game, they can head to Bank Street, he said.

The park, with its large field almost the size of the lawn in front of Parliament Hill won’t quite be ready, either.

The hard-surface plaza with trees and benches in front of the Aberdeen Pavilion will be open on game day, Ashe said, but the “great lawn” won’t be open until August.

The park will eventually have a play area, water fea-

The site will probably come alive in terms of more outdoor events sometime next year.

Capital Coun. David Chernushenko is seen on what will be the RedBlacks CFL field during an April 29 tour of the Lansdowne redevelopment. ture with a tall “beacon,” a skateboard park, outdoor refrigerated ice rink and an apple orchard, but the whole thing won’t be finished and polished up until next year, said Marco Manconi, the city staffer in charge of overseeing the project.

There will be 800 trees planted – including the trembling aspen city councillors planted on April 29. Six different varieties of apple trees will be planted in the orchard in the centre of the shuttle bus drop-off near the east side of the site.

“The games in the fall will be a lot more fun because we can animate this space as well,” Ashe said.

People who live in the Glebe might be relieved to hear that OSEG plans to “going fairly slow” on hosting outdoor concerts at the site.

Efforts to draw in those types of events won’t ramp up until next year, Ashe said.

“We’re looking for outdoor concerts for this summer. We don’t have anything at this time,” Ashe said.

“We’re starting to book some indoor concerts in the arena for the fall, when the 67’s return in October.

“The site will probably come alive in terms of more outdoor events sometime next year, in 2015,” he said.

That’s also when people will begin moving into the

285 condo units Minto is building at Lansdowne.

Ashe said Minto is reporting the units are selling well and are about 80 per cent presold.

That’s about the same tenancy rate as the commercial buildings, Ashe said. Although some people have questioned whether the stores and restaurants will make Lansdowne a unique retail destination, as spelled out in the agreement with the city, Ashe defended the businesses OSEG has announced have signed on: Whole Foods, GoodLife Fitness, Sporting Life, Cineplex, JOEY restaurant, South St. Burger Company, Local Lounge and Grill and Milestones.

“We’re very proud of our retail mix,” Ashe said. “We think it’s going to prove to be a very successful retail mix for what we have to do and how we have to attract people to the Glebe, as well as keep people in the Glebe.”

The businesses that have signed on, particularly TD, were very keen on the site’s historic attributes such as the views of the Aberdeen Pavilion, Ashe said.

Village of Carp - Green Meadows Park Information Session Wednesday, May 14, 2014 Huntley Mess Hall 2240 Craig Side Road 6 to 8p.m.

The City of Ottawa wants your input on the proposed design for the new Green Meadows Park in the Village of Carp. It is located on Meadowridge Circle, off Donald B. Munro Drive.

By attending the Information Session, you will have the opportunity to see the preliminary design and make suggestions on the proposed amenities. Once completed, the new park could provide the neighbourhood with junior and senior playgrounds including swings, seating areas, pathways, a winter skating puddle rink , a half basketball court and landscaped areas with trees.

Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accommodation, please phone Diane Emmerson no later than May 12.

Although the turf won’t begin going in until mid-June, the RedBlacks CFL field will be ready to go for game day on July 18, Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group CEO Bernie Ashe told reporters on an April 29 tour.

Contrast obvious between candidates Continued from page 28

That contrasts with MacLaren, who lives in rural West Carleton and focuses his interest on property rights issues largely of concern to the group he once

led, the Ontario Landowners Association. Hansen said the contrast was made plain during a meeting with about 20 unemployed engineers at the local Ontario Society of Professional Engineers (OSPE) hosted meet-

ing at the Kanata United United Church on March 11. He said MacLaren told the engineers they should look for work in mining.

“I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Is MacLaren’s

45th SEASON 2013-2014

economic action plan to have our workforce either move to Northern Ontario or split up couples and families for most of the year?” he said.

“Worse, northerners will tell you both of those industries remain stalled, with the promising Ring of Fire mega mining project stalled years in the politics of the Liberals in Ontario and Conservatives in Ottawa not willing to work together.”

MacLaren also suggested schools need to produce more trades people, he said.

“A quick scan of our local media ads confirms that they would join a long line-up of people trying to find odd jobs.

I’m not sure how generating more trades people would be of benefit in revitalizing our knowledge industry.”

Hansen said MacLaren and those MPPs in the other two

parties have no “practical ideas” to create jobs, which is part of the reason polls usually rank the NDP’s Andrea Horwath as the most popular leader.

“I am looking forward to bringing new ideas to the job agenda forward,” Hansen said.

“Kanata can do much better than the Jack MacLaren-Randy Hillier-Hudak Conservatives or the Wynne-McGuinty Liberals.”

What can I expect at a HOLIDAY RETIREMENT residence?

A common misconception about retirement living is that you’ll be giving up your lifestyle. But that’s not the case at Crystal View Lodge and The Court at Barrhaven in Nepean, Ontario, where you’ll enjoy your own private suite (and yes, pets ARE welcomed!)

That means you can do things on your schedule, and eat the exceptional food you’re used to having. More specifically, you can expect three delicious meals per day prepared by professional chefs, all to be enjoyed in a spacious dining room with new friends.

You’ll always have people close to you that care. That includes the livein managers, who treat the residents like family and are available day and night. All units are equipped with an emergency call system that can be used around the clock if needed.

There’s a real community feel at these residences. While you’re welcome to spend time in your suite catching up on a novel, you’re also encouraged to take part in many activities offered including Tai Chi, euchre, interactive gaming

(Nintendo Wii), or even enlist as a volunteer to help enrich the lives of others.

You’ll also reap many other benefits including a weekly housekeeping and linen service, complimentary shuttle service, free laundry facilities, fitness room, guest parking, billiards lounge, and the list goes on.

Your misconceptions about retirement living will disappear in a hurry when you choose these residences. You can even choose a trial stay if you’re still not sure.

Oh, and one last thing – this one is huge – both residences are part of Holiday Retirement, which has a network of 300 residences in the U.S. and Canada. The company’s travel program allows residents to enjoy the same comfort in another residence location at no extra cost!

ALL WORK AND NO PLAY: ONTARIOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S RETIREMENT CRISIS Your retirement goal might be to go jet skiing in the Caribbean, but what if life has other plans for you ...

Will a health crisis tarnish your golden years?

Jessica Cunha, Jennifer Bowman and Tamara Shephard

News - Mary wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t call them her golden years.

At 75, the Ottawa widow lives tightly on $25,000 a year.

Her condominium fees eats up most of her income. There is little cash left over each month after she pays for food, her car, insurance, Internet service and her phone. She receives no income supplement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Save, save, save. Put money away,â&#x20AC;? says Mary, who asked not to be identified. She is embarrassed over her dire financial straits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Save from the time youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re 20. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $10 a week. It adds up. It makes all the difference in the world.â&#x20AC;?

She and her husband held down â&#x20AC;&#x153;decentâ&#x20AC;? jobs and raised five children together. But nei-

ther had a university degree.

That put a ceiling on job and income opportunities, she said, and directly affected their ability to financially prepare for their retirement. Both worked until age 70.

Mary is in good health. She receives two small pensions, from her job and her late husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work. Without them, she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d survive. Canada Pension Plan and Old Age Security (OAS) adds up to only $1,300 a month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It never crossed my mind,â&#x20AC;? she said of her retirement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a long way off. Then, all of a sudden, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s there.â&#x20AC;?

Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s retirement experience is a cautionary tale for Baby Boomers, the oldest of which are just turning 65, and for Generation Xers, those born starting in the mid-1960s on the

heels of the boomers.

Her financial distress in retirement is an all-too-common reality for many of Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1.9 million seniors aged 65 or older.

In fact, many Ontarians simply cannot afford to retire. Consumer costs, including health care and housing, compel them to work for wages and for health benefits.

And in the next 20 years, Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population of seniors is expected to double.

No one knows better how a health crisis can wreak havoc on retirement plans than Bramptonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anne Mitchell, 67.

Mitchell is gearing up for a second battle with cancer.

Except, this time, Mitchell is scrambling to come up with $52,000 for chemotherapy treatment not covered by OHIP. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will wipe out all of our savings,â&#x20AC;? Mitchell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a big financial burden. It will wipe out our whole retirement.â&#x20AC;?

Mitchell, a former office manager for a construction company and her husband John, 68, a steelworker, worked in Canada for more than 40 years and planned to fund their retirement with some retirement savings and a government pension.

But no one plans for cancer.

BRIAN JOHNSON/METROLAND

Anne Mitchell is looking at a potential cost of $50,000 for chemotherapy drugs that OHIP will not cover.

In 2009, Mitchell was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia.

Mitchell cannot take Fludarabine and Rituximab, two very powerful chemotherapy drugs.

She received only two treatments before the regime was abruptly stopped because of an adverse reaction to Fludarabine that nearly killed her.

Mitchellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doctor has prescribed Bendamustine, which OHIP will not cover.

On April 7, Mitchell used her American Express card to cover the drugâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $4,500 price tag. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt complete and utter shock,â&#x20AC;? her husband John said, describing the reaction to the hefty bill.

URBAN

Moving forward, the Mitchellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s say they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really have a game plan to pay for the chemotherapy treatment other than drawing on their life savings and credit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have to make the payment somehow. I have to make the payment to keep my wife alive,â&#x20AC;?

John said.

Under Ontario Drug Benefit coverage, seniors over age 65 pay the first $100 of their prescription costs, then $6.11 per prescription under the government program. But many drugs are not covered and are shockingly expensive, reported Susan Eng, vice-president of advocacy with CARP. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of drugs are not cov-

ered in the plan and the ones not covered are expensive. In Ontario, people could fall between the cracks,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Biologics, for example, are very, very expensive.â&#x20AC;?

Biologic drugs are used to treat a wide variety of diseases, particularly conditions that affect seniors, including cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and diabetes.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expected the use of biologics among seniors will grow by approximately 20 per cent in the next decade, the Canadian Generic Pharmaceutical Association reports.

A METROLAND SPECIAL SERIES: PART 2

How other countries finance long-term care News - CARP cites Germany as a “good test case” for alternate ways of funding LTC. Germany’s population is older than Canada’s: more than 20 per cent are 65 or older; five per cent are older than 80.

Germany, like Japan, Korea, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, provides universal coverage for LTC, which operates much like

the Canada Pension. Participation is mandatory. Individuals and employers pay equal contributions, while unemployment insurance covers contributions for the unemployed.

Since 2008, total contributions for the first 44,550 Euros of annual income are 1.95 per cent, split equally between employer and employee. Since LTC insurance is meant to pro-

vide a baseline of care, German citizens are free to purchase supplementary private LTC coverage, which more than 1.58 million Germans did as of 2009.

Every month, recipients choose between cash, for people who require lighter care or home services, and in-kind benefits for those needing more intense care in nursing homes.

Senior tsunami News - With life expectancy increasing, seniors must plan for a longer retirement.

The number of centenarians increased 22 per cent between 2001MARIO SERGIO 06 to 4,635.

That number is expected to triple by 2031.

Within three years, Ontario seniors will out-number the population of youth aged 15 and younger.

To prepare for the influx of seniors the Ontario government is working to provide more home care for seniors, among other initiatives.

Minister Responsible for Seniors Affairs Mario Sergio, 73, is also pushing for an increase in CPP and calling on the federal government to help.

“Financially, unless either the province and the feds come on board and find a way to help seniors save more money to retire they are going to be a huge burden on government, provincial and federal,” he said.

“There is a tsunami coming.”

Most Boomers $400,000 short, experts say News - Canadian Baby Boomers are about $400,000 short of their retirement savings goals, according to a study released by BMO Wealth Institute in summer 2013.

The study found that Boomers – those born between 1945-64 – would need an average of $658,000 to feel secure in retirement, but had only saved an average of $228,000.

In Ontario, 47 per cent of those surveyed said they aren’t confident they’ll be financially secure when they retire.

The survey used an online sample of 1,003 Canadians over 18 years old who have yet to retire. (fi nance.yahoo.com/news/bmo-clock-ticking-canadian-boomers-100000718.html) Although the statistics may sound dire, all is not lost, said Bob McGaraughty, a financial security advisor with Freedom 55 Financial in Ottawa.

He said the first step is to figure out what you want to do when you retire: do you want to jet set around the world or spend the days on a golf course? Perhaps you want to volunteer more in your community or settle down in a small cottage in a rural area.

“If you know what sort of lifestyle that you want, then you know how much money you need to do all that,” he said. “That’s where you start and that’s where most people fall down I think. They don’t know what they want to do.”

And if you don’t know what you want to do, you don’t know how much money you’ll need.

“Words like ‘budget’ and ‘plan’ scare the hell out of people and it shouldn’t. They’re not punitive. A budget just identifies where your money’s going,” he said. “You go to the doctors every year for a physical.

Do a financial physical every year.”

That’s exactly what people need to do – whether they’re 18 and starting their first part-time job or 50 and thinking about retiring in 15 years. Sit down with a financial planner, whether through a private agency or at a bank, and develop an outline. McGaraughty said a good rule of thumb is to plan to retire off 70 per cent of pre-retirement earnings in order to maintain your current lifestyle.

“You can still do something if you’re close to retirement age,” said McGaraughty, who advised trimming back on non-essentials. “If we’re mortgage free at 47, I’m going to take my mortgage payment and dump it into my RRSP because I’ve got all that unused room. If I want to retire at 57 or 60, that’s 13 years. You can double (your savings) easily.”

No matter what you want to do, it’s important to have a plan.

“The happiest retirees are busy retirees. You just quit work and don’t have anything going on? It’s a hell of a retirement,” said McGaraughty. “People are so much healthier now that we are looking at longer retirements. You’re not planning on (living) from 60 to 75, it’s 90. And so if you retire at 60, that’s 30 years. I’ve seen young old people and old young people. The young old people are the ones who are busy.”

A METROLAND SPECIAL SERIES:

Health care costs for retirees often paid for out of pocket Continued from Page 39

Across Canada, dental and vision care are major health costs for seniors, together accounting for more than 75 per cent of their health care spending. They also need funds to pay for other professionals such as chiropractors, massage therapists, physiotherapists and podiatrists.

If a senior is retired or works at a job without health insurance benefits, many health costs come directly out-of-pocket.

One option for retirees is to purchase private insurance, but even that is prohibitively expensive.

Blue Cross health insurance coverage for a 65year-old Ontario man who is a non-smoker costs $85 a month for basic coverage. That monthly fee jumps to $117 for regular coverage and $147 for extended coverage. Basic coverage includes ambulance service, nursing care, dental work and partial payments towards sessions with a registered podiatrist, physiotherapist, massage therapist and chiropractor.

Blue Cross does not cover prescription drugs after age 65 because seniors in this province qualify for the Ontario Drug Benefit.

A dental exam and diagnosis costs $65, according to the Ontario Dental Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2014 fee schedule.

Need dental X-rays? A complete set of 12 images costs $123. Cleaning and polishing your teeth costs a minimum of $55.

If a senior has a crown that needs to be restored, the suggested cost is $685. Root canal therapy begins at $441. Dentures start at $751 for the upper palate and $956 for lower teeth.

Seniors 65 and older pay just under $50 for an eye test.

Should a senior need a chiropractor, massage therapy, physiotherapy or a podiatrist, those costs are not paid by OHIP. Seniors must pay for those services out-of-pocket or through private insurance.

A visit to the chiropractor costs up to $140 for a 40-minute session, the 2014 Ontario Chiropractic Association Fee Schedule suggests. A detailed exam can cost between $140 and $280.

A massage delivered by a registered massage therapist costs $38 for 15 minutes and $102 for an hour. Seniors 65 and older may be eligible for publicly funded physiotherapy with a doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s referral, the Ontario governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health services branch reports.

A single senior with a yearly net income less than $16,018 or a senior couple whose combined net annual income is less than $24,175 or a senior on Ontario Works or the Ontario Disability Support Program, living in long-term care or receiving home care pay no deductible and only $2 per prescription filled.

Ensuring Ontarians have access to drugs they need regardless of cost is one of 169 recommendations contained in a 2012 report entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Living Longer, Living Well,â&#x20AC;? thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intended to inform a Seniors Strategy for Ontario. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(We) have to start thinking about how to develop fairer and sustainable financing systems that can still allow us to ensure all Ontarians can access the pharmaceutical therapies they need, regardless of their ability to pay for them,â&#x20AC;? stated the 198-page report by Dr. Samir Sinha, director of geriatrics at Mount Sinai and the University Health Network hospitals.

Ontarians need to consider health care planning

in their retirement preparations, advised Bob McGaraughty, a financial security advisor with Freedom 55 Financial in Ottawa. Plan on retiring on 70 per cent of your pre-retirement earnings, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your health is a big issue. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got your health, then your costs are stabilized. If your health deteriorates quickly ... thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big (cost),â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay for your medicine, then what do you do?â&#x20AC;?

Then there is the matter of how Ontarians will afford their care as they age. According to Statistics Canada, the median after-tax income for seniors over the age of 65 in 2010 was $26,185.

Besides medical expenses, this money must also cover costs such as housing, food, transportation, social events and communication.

Some 92 per cent of Canadian seniors aged 65 and older live in private dwellings, Statistics Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2011 Census reported. In doing so, this often requires the added costs of installing accessibility aids or hiring a live-in housekeeper. To minimize costs, some seniors choose to open their home to another person in exchange for light household chores and cheap rent.

Seniors living in subsidized housing pay either 30 per cent of their income (rent geared to income) or 20 per cent below market rent (affordable housing), depending on the housing arrangement. What their maximum income can be and how they apply varies by district and municipality throughout the province.

In Muskoka, seniors applying for a subsidized one-bedroom unit must be living on less than $29,700 per year.

And the cheaper cost comes at a price. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wait list. In Muskoka itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three to five years, but in Peel, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 20 years. Some areas have senior-only subsidized housing which may reduce the wait time, some do not.

Others choose to spend their golden years in a retirement home. There are 700 such facilities in Ontario, from townhouses to apartments, providing a variety of services and lifestyles for seniors from living with no assistance to in-home care.

At an average cost of $3,204 per unit per month, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an expense thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well above an entire monthly budget of $2,182 for those living on $26,185 or less per year.

When seniors are no longer able to live on their own or require more intensive care than a live-in caregiver can provide, many opt to move into a long-term care home (LTC). A LTC home provides 24-hour services and care and is often where seniors will live out their life. Rates at the homes are regulated by the Ministry of Health and LongTerm Care at $1,707.59 a month for a basic room with subsidies available from the government.

Semi-private or private rooms cost more. In 201112, the median time to be on a wait list for a longterm care room was 98 days.

Fredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife, Doris, moved into a private room in a LTC home last December in Bracebridge, Ont. It costs $2,275 a month. Fred lives next-door in subsidized housing at $650 per month plus utilities.

Multiple times a day, Fred joins his wife for meals paid for by the home.

How can Fred and Doris afford their care?

Fourteen years ago, the couple who will have been married 55 years in June sold an apartment building theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d owned for a decade for approximately $700,000.

Fred still owns property in Huntsville: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve still got that to sell if need be,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Carp market opens Mother’s Day weekend

One serving • Protein: 16.0 grams • Fat: 25.0 grams • Carbohydrates: 28.0 grams • Calories: 400 • Source of Fibre

Lifestyle - In keeping with tradition, the Carp Farmers’ Market’s gates will open at 8 a.m. on the day before Mother’s Day - this Saturday, May 10.

The first 100 mothers through the gates will be presented with a fresh tulip in honour of what is, without a doubt, their day.

Despite a long cold winter and a slow spring, shoppers can be sure of plenty of high quality local produce from which to choose along with the crowning glory of the changing season – fresh, local asparagus and this year’s maple syrup.

Regular shoppers will recognize many familiar faces among the vendors and will have a chance to meet the 11 new ones whose products are guaranteed to meet the high standards set by the Carp Farmers’ Market Board.

Among items on offer will be a wide range of local meats (beef, lamb, pork, elk, chicken and bison), cheeses, fresh baked goods (some available glutenfree), preserves, dressings, dips and condiments, plus a selection of high-quality fall root vegetables.

The market’s local craftsmen, from jewelry to woodworking, from quilting to stitching, and from candy-making to the production of natural soaps and skin care products, take the stress out of finding that unique gift to mark mom’s special day.

And then, shopping done, relax with a meal, a snack, a drink, or a ‘take home’ from the market’s international food court.

Regular market hours are from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The market is wheelchair accessible, parking is generous and free, and the welcome, ‘come rain or shine’, can’t be beat.

Ottawa development charges for new homes on the rise Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Adding a few thousand dollars onto the cost of building a new home in Ottawa is what’s necessary to serve a growing city without burdening taxpayers, says Alta Vista Coun.

Peter Hume.

“Quite frankly I don’t think it’s fair to existing taxpayers,” said the planning committee chairman, who made the case for hiking development charges.

If approved, the increased fees would represent between three and seven per cent of the cost of a new house, up from 2.5 and six per cent, depending on the type of home and whether it’s located in an urban, suburban or rural area.

Development charges pay for the cost related to growth in an area – increased pressure on roads and infrastructure for everything from sewers to parks.

It’s usually tacked onto the price of new houses by developers.

Transit expansion is a large portion of the development charge, Hume said, adding the city “left no stone unturned to ensure transit projects got the most funding possible.”

Developers raised the most concerns about the way money is allocated to transit projects.

The city wants to use development charges to fund transit projects in the same way it funds roads, Hume said.

“In the long term, growth of the city, in terms of treating roads the same as transit, was of benefit,” he said.

Community representatives wanted transit money to be allocated on a local basis. That would make the development charge very high and unaffordable for construction inside the Greenbelt, Hume said. Since transit is concentrated in the city’s core, under a local-charge scheme, downtown residents would be burdened with most of the cost of expanding the system, even though suburban residents put a demand on the service, too.

Another change will be made to the city’s approach to exempting some developments from fees. Since 2009, when development charges were last reviewed, the city wrote off $53 million in development charges, which isn’t recoverable, said planning manager John Moser.

Now, the city will have to find other ways to make up that loss in development-charge revenue if it grants an exemption – such as getting money from property taxes.

“We need to put that money

back in. If you don’t have development charges to meet the growth, your projects are in jeopardy,” Hume said.

PARKS, CHILDCARE, SOCIAL HOUSING

As previously reported, another change would see developers take over the responsibility of building most new parks in new communities starting Oct. 1. Instead of the city collecting development charges after homes are built and using the money to build parks, developers can build them as soon as they start constructing homes. The parks will still be designed to city standards and large district parks, of which there are four of in the city’s plans, would still be built by the city.

The city is also suggesting putting a freeze on collecting development charges for childcare and social housing reserves. There is currently $3.4 million and $1.7 million respectively in those funds now, but the city hasn’t spend the money because of limitations on how it can be used. The province

requires the cash to be spent on projects the city builds, owns and operates, which would create a tax burden to maintain and operate the facilities.

The city is looking into whether it could use the money to create social housing to be operated

by Ottawa Community Housing.

Until the legality of different options is determined, the money won’t be spent and the fee won’t be charged. If the city wanted to re-instate that portion of the development charge, it would need to conduct another background study and city council would have to approve the additional fee.

The same process would apply if councillors wanted to pursue area-specific development charges for neighbourhoods that are seeing a huge increase in

If you don’t have development charges to meet the growth, your projects are in jeopardy.

PETER HUME

population, such as Little Italy, Coun. Diane Holmes suggested.

Coun. David Chernushenko said it might be something to look into for Old Ottawa East, which has a large institutional property slated for redevelopment.

Hume said homebuilders said the plan to collectively appeal the changes due to the “magnitude” of the development charge increase.

PROPOSED INCREASE IN DEVELOPMENT CHARGE:

• Home inside the Greenbelt: $5,068 increase ($21,959 total) • Home outside the Greenbelt: $5,517 ($30,832 total) • Rural home (serviced): $3,603 increase ($19,685 total) • Rural home (unserviced): $3,374 increase ($17,254 total)

Lifestyle - The signs were everywhere. Our old log house had finally taken on the look of spring, leading into summer.

Although any visitor coming into the house would not be aware of the difference, it was very obvious to us who lived there.

Outside, the very last smidgen of snow had long since gone. The foot path from the summer kitchen to the barn was now dry, and the mud that followed the melting snow had hardened like it did every spring.

Inside, everywhere, I could see the changes that had taken us from one season to the next. Mother had pulled out the strips of rags and old wool socks that had been crammed around every window downstairs to keep out the winter drafts.

Of course, these werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t thrown away. No, they were washed, hung out on the fence to dry, and then rolled in newspapers and tucked under an upstairs bed at the ready for the next winter.

And the windows, grimy from the long months when it was impossible to clean them, were shining from the bath they took of water and vinegar.

The windows were ready for the warm weather.

When the cold fall weather struck months before, braided mats had been scattered all through the house ... one hefty one rolled and kept tight against the back door to keep out the drafts ... many others put here and there, in the hope they would help keep our feet warm from the icy cold floors that were impossible to heat up no matter how raging was the Findlay Oval.

And joy, oh joy, the navy blue fleece lined bloomers had one last washing on laundry day, and they too would be tucked away. Of course, they were no longer the deep navy of a few months ago when they were fresh out of the parcel ordered from Eatonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s catalogue

MARY COOK Memories ... now they had faded to a pale purple, attesting to the dozens of times they had been washed over the winter.

The bloomers would join the suits of long underwear and undershirts helping to keep us warm on long walks to school, and they would be packed in the hump-backed trunk that sat under the west window in the bedroom I shared with my sister Audrey.

Of course Father insisted on wearing his undershirt, long sleeves and all, under his work shirt long into the summer. He gave up his combinations only when Mother snatched them off the chair by his bed when he was sleeping, and when the heat of the summer had the rest of us panting.

There were no clothes closets in that old log house, and no storage cupboards, and no attic to store things away one season to the next, and I was always amazed how Mother found space to tuck things away, sight unseen.

Gradually winter outerwear would be hung on the clothes line, or thrown over the wire fence in the back yard to get a good airing ... always a chore for a warm sunny day.

Then each piece examined

by Mother, buttons replaced, seams sewn and spots removed, would be packed into a big cardboard box scrounged from Briscoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Store.

Between each piece of clothing, Mother would tuck in a few mothballs. When the box was put in the boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bedroom, the whole upstairs smelled of the mothballs.

The Findlay Oval would yet be moved out into the summer kitchen. Father thought that idea was just about the craziest notion he ever heard in his

life.

And as soon as Mother got the itch to â&#x20AC;&#x153;turn the whole house upside downâ&#x20AC;? as he called it, he began lamenting about the huge job ahead that took up the better part of a day ... a day better spent on the back fields. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Three generations of Hanemans have lived with the cook stove in the kitchen 12 months of the year,â&#x20AC;? heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d lament.

But Mother insisted the big lumbering Oval be moved to the summer kitchen ... rolled out by every hand in the house on two logs, the stove pipes taken down, repainted and a smaller portion of pipe poked through a hole in the summer kitchen wall.

But the biggest change to me, and the one I looked forward to most, was when the parlour would be open for the summer.

All winter the door which separated it from the kitchen was closed tightly, a thick braided rug jammed along the bottom of the door to keep out the cold air. You could see your breath in the parlour if you had to go in to get the bible off the twig table, or the picture album. It was almost like the parlour was no longer part of the house.

And now the door was flung wide, the one window opened to get rid of the musty smell, and the house was ready for summer!

The last job was done.

Spring was upon us, and soon the heat of the summer would penetrate the logs, and after working so hard to keep the house warm over the winter, Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next challenge would be to keep the heat outside, and capture inside what cool air she could.

This month, the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa (CASO) is celebrating the strength and resilience of approximately 600 children and youth in care. CASO becomes involved with families in the community when there may be a concern that a child or youth is at risk of abuse or neglect. Though 90% of the time children and youth remain within their family home, there are circumstances that may prevent this. Situations may warrant that a child or youth be removed from their home for a short period of time until the environment is improved, some remain in care on an extended basis, and still others are adopted into new families. While their life paths are different than those of their peers, they face many of the same hurdles and challenges, and share the same hopes and dreams. The strength they have developed is admirable.

Give old items a new life Lifestyle - It is easy and fun to rescue all kinds of objects destined for the landfill and modify their purpose for your home. What a great way to renovate, all while being eco-friendly at the same time! â&#x20AC;&#x153;Repurposingâ&#x20AC;? entails standing in front of a feature of your home that you no longer want and asking yourself what else you could do with it. Finding the answer means truly setting aside its initial purpose; you have to forget about its original form and role in order to give free rein to

your imagination. It is a great creative exercise for your brain, one that can give some interesting results.

Here are a few repurposing projects: â&#x20AC;˘ transform a door into a low table â&#x20AC;˘ convert glass bottles into light fixtures â&#x20AC;˘ turn kitchen utensils into a lamp â&#x20AC;˘ remove the drawers of a dresser to make bookshelves â&#x20AC;˘ dress up a bucket with fabric and decorative ribbons and fill it with flowers

â&#x20AC;˘ turn an old chest of drawers into a planter â&#x20AC;˘ create garden furniture with bricks painted in your choice of colour â&#x20AC;˘ transform a workbench into a kitchen work surface There is no shortage of ideas.

And if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t succeed at first, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to give it another go â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the more you try, the better youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll become. So donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t discard your old stuff, just repurpose it into something new and useful.

Give a new vocation to your old objects; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun and useful, too.

Have Your Best Garden Ever in 2014 Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no secret that a great garden starts with great soil. Soil is a source of nutrients, air and water essen al to the establishment of healthy root systems in plants; but its supply is not inďŹ nite.

A neglected soil is far less likely to yield the results you are looking for in your perfect garden. Over me your soil can become nutrient deďŹ cient, compacted or thin which can make it diďŹ&#x192;cult to grow and lead to poor plant health. A great soil is rich in nutrients, pH balanced and has excellent lth, allowing for easy air and water ďŹ&#x201A;ow. Furthermore, a great soil should also be built up enough to allow your plantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roots plenty of room to grow deep and thus access more water and nutrients.

How can you take a red, dull soil and turn it into a great soil?

This can be accomplished using a number of techniques. One of the easiest ways to improve such a soil is by using an amendment or enhancer that is made up in large part of organic ma er. Soil amendments are designed to be mixed in with exis ng soils to bolster areas in need of improvement.

The ideal me to introduce organic ma er into your growing areas is in the late Fall. This allows the beneďŹ cial microorganisms in your soil more me to become ac ve before gardening season arrives. While in a perfect world we would all earmark some me for soil amending before the frost, for many of us, our ďŹ&#x201A;ower beds are far from priority number one when the cold weather starts to set in.

mineralize the organic nutrients giving your plants more food for healthy growth. Each component in this mix contributes par cles of diďŹ&#x20AC;erent sizes and shapes. This results in improved airďŹ&#x201A;ow and drainage and reduces the risk of over compac on. The organicbased soil will also provide excellent water reten on; something your plantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roots will really appreciate.

Not to worry though! Even if you missed the window last Fall, you can s ll get more out of your soil this Spring. There are great products on the market that can make a real diďŹ&#x20AC;erence in the results you see from your garden this year, including Manderleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Premium Lawn and Garden Soil â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which can be conveniently delivered right to your driveway in an easy-to-store cubic yard bag.

Giving your best garden ever the head start it deserves isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rocket science. Follow these easy steps for best results: Step one - determine how much soil you need. Keep in mind that you should aim to maintain at least a 6â&#x20AC;? soil depth (pro p â&#x20AC;&#x201C; top oďŹ&#x20AC; your growing areas with 2â&#x20AC;? of soil every Fall to make up for soil loss caused by erosion, etc.). Step two - go get your soil, or be er yet, have it delivered without the mess or hassle. Step three - ll or turn over the exis ng soil in your growing areas. Step four - add in your soil mix and ensure that your beds reach the appropriate depth. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that easy.

Manderleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soil mix is a 100% natural product consis ng of black earth, organic fer lizer, compost, sand and lime. The organic content in the mix is quite high, which promotes microbial ac vity in your growing area. Microorganisms will work hard to

Understanding the importance of maintaining a healthy soil is the ďŹ rst step in reaching your garden goals for 2014. By following these four steps and giving your plants proper care throughout the gardening season, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be amazed at the diďŹ&#x20AC;erence.

The ďŹ&#x201A;ooring has to be chosen with care when decorating an open area.

Ideally, only one type of covering should be used â&#x20AC;&#x201C; wood is always an excellent choice. At ďŹ&#x201A;oor level, area rugs can be used to deďŹ ne or separate the different zones.

Lifestyle - Decorating an open area in the home isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always easy.

In fact, harmonizing the different zones can be quite a challenge. Here are a few tips to get you started. â&#x20AC;˘ Choose your style. First of all, choose a style that will be used throughout this open area. Do you prefer a contemporary, traditional, or country look? If you decide to create an eclectic look by using a mix of styles, you might be setting yourself up for a complicated task; a blend of styles has to be carefully thought out and executed with caution, or the space will end up looking like a mishmash of disparate objects. â&#x20AC;˘ Create zones. Decide how you want to use your open area and create activity zones by grouping furniture according to its use. DeďŹ ne the zones by creating visual separations with elements such as rugs, plants, a table, or a sofa. Decorative elements, such as woodwork or mouldings, can also help deďŹ ne a space. â&#x20AC;˘ Decide on a colour scheme.

Colour is an important element in any open area, as it uniďŹ es disparate elements to form a whole. Create a sense of harmony by using different tones of one colour. It goes without saying that this colour has to blend well with the furniture and the ďŹ&#x201A;ooring.

Spring is here â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to start scrubbing Lifestyle - At last, spring has sprung. The sun feels so much warmer and soon everything in the yard will be bursting into leaf. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no doubt about that urge youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re feeling: it is indeed time to do some spring cleaning.

Cleaning the house is exhausting work and many of us try to put it off for as long as we can. And yet, our familiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; health and our comfort are at stake. To make this big job a little bit easier, just take it one step at a time. â&#x20AC;˘ Before starting in on the cleaning, throw out or give away any objects

It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an easy chore, but your closets will thank you for it, as will the community organizations in your area who inherit your donations. â&#x20AC;˘ Next comes the washing. Drapes, rugs, bedspreads â&#x20AC;&#x201C; be sure not to forget anything. Some fabrics need to be dry cleaned, so youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to entrust them to the pros. And for carpets, you can bring in a carpet cleaning service or rent a carpet cleaning machine at the grocery store or hardware store. â&#x20AC;˘ And now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for some good old-fashioned elbow grease. Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the windows, cupboards, walls, or ceilings, every square inch of the house should be scrubbed spotless.

Getting everything clean will help you eliminate the dust and allergens in the air. Once that part of the job is finished, you can tackle the bedrooms, where the mattresses should be turned and vacuumed. Before putting the sheets on, slip a fabric softener sheet under the mattress cover for a lasting fragrance.

You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to be a stone mason for decorative bricks Lifestyle - Decorative bricks (or faux bricks) are more affordable than regular bricks and are gaining in popularity as a decorative element for homes.

And best of all, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be a qualified stone

mason in order to lay them.

Decorative bricks are usually laid on plywood or plasterboard. Clean the underlying surface thoroughly and apply a primer if necessary. In some cases, the addition of a layer of wire mesh may be necessary.

It goes without saying that the wall surface or floor should be level before you begin work.

Spread the glue with a notched trowel over one small area at a time, starting at the bottom of the wall. Place the bricks, leaving an equal space

between each of them and ensuring that the joints are offset from one row to the next.

Check frequently to ensure that the row of bricks is level.

Use a miter saw fitted with a ceramic blade for cutting the bricks at the end of the rows.

Recuperate the remnants to start a new row.

Brick corners, used to cover the corners of three dimensional objects, such as those on a mantelpiece, are also available on the market. Now all thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left to do is to fill the joints with mortar according to the manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s instructions.

Apart from the traditional red brick, many models and colours of decorative stones are available in stores.

To find the best product for your project, as well as the appropriate installation technique, be sure to ask a professional for advice.

How to revamp your kitchen Lifestyle - Kitchens are the heart of the home; they are where we prepare our meals, sit down to eat together, and entertain family and friends.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so important to have a functional kitchen, one that reflects our tastes as well as the latest trends in interior design.

Unfortunately, a complete kitchen makeover means turning that room into a major construction site. So how can you realize your dream of a kitchen renovation without demolishing everything? Here are a few solutions for brightening up your kitchen, quickly and easily. â&#x20AC;˘ Replace the cabinet hardware: simply replacing your old handles with a more up-to-date style can change the look of the cabinets at very little cost.

â&#x20AC;˘ Change the faucets: exchange your leaky old taps for a new mixer faucet. Singlehole, professional style faucets are still in all the showrooms.

Choose a good quality model, as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be putting it to a lot of use. â&#x20AC;˘ Install a backsplash: installing a ceramic tile, molten glass, metal, or decorative stone backsplash changes the look of any kitchen in the blink of an eye. This is a project that can be completed quickly but with astonishing effect; your kitchen will be brought up to date in a flash! â&#x20AC;˘ Replace the lights: lights play a key role in any functional kitchen â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing worse than a poorly lit work surface. A good choice is to opt for adjustable spotlights, which can be directed where you

Fake beams can provide authentic character Lifestyle - If you have them, you might not know what to do with them, and if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have them, you might wish you did.

If theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re done right, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing quite like exposed beams to enhance the cachet of a room. Would you love to incorporate this architectural feature in your home but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the grandiose budget to match?

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the solution.

First of all, you can find fake wood beams on the market. Made of polyurethane or polystyrene, they are much more affordable than a solid wood beam. Even better, you can create a false beam at a fraction of the price by using MDF (fibreboard) panels.

The first step in making a false beam is to cut three strips of MDF of the same width; typically, they range from 15 to 20 cm. Next, glue and nail them on 5-by-7 cm wood uprights. The goal is to build a threesided box, the fourth side being the ceiling.

Now all you have to do is paint or stain the beams according to the look you want to give the room: pale, dark, or natural.

It is possible to give your beams the look of natural wood by creating a grain with a wood-graining tool or rocker. MDF with a wood grain finish is also available in stores.

The addition of false beams should be done sparingly in order not to give the room a heavy look.

Of course, the ceiling should also be high enough to lend itself to this imposing architectural style.

most need them, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s towards the counter, the stove, or the sink. Pendant lights over the dining table are also an important feature. Choose a model that will add some wow factor to your new kitchen. â&#x20AC;˘ Transform cabinet doors: you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily have to rip out your old cupboards and replace them with new ones to transform the look of your kitchen. You could just replace the doors if the casings are still in a good state of repair. And if the doors are also in good repair, you could keep them and just have them refaced. That means having the doors and all visible surfaces recovered with a wood veneer or other material.

This solution is very practical, as the refacing is done in a factory and your kitchen will

remain pristine and functional throughout the renovation work. Another advantage of refacing is that it will save you a lot of money. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing to prevent you from adding a glass door or shaker style mouldings, which can also transform the look of your kitchen cabinets.

Lastly, if you have old, solid wood cabinets (probably in non-standard sizes), the best solution is to simply paint them.

Your choice of colour and finish are virtually limitless. â&#x20AC;˘ Paint the walls: painting is always a great solution for transforming your kitchen, and it involves very little cost.

Choose light tones that reflect the light and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll turn your kitchen into a place where the whole family will want to spend time together.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to have a functional kitchen, one that reflects your tastes as well as the latest trends in interior design.

Tulip festival activities continue to grow this year Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

The Canadian Tulip Festival officially will begin on Friday, May 9 with fireworks at Dow’s Lake.

FILE

News - The Canadian Tulip Festival will celebrate this year with a bang.

The 63rd annual festival begins this Friday, May 9 with fireworks at the festival’s main site at Dow’s Lake. It will be one of the three evenings that the festival organizers have planned to have fireworks.

“The plan is this year we want to preview what’s to come,” said spokesman Dave Shaw. “The idea is to make it a signature part of the festival so that when people think of the festival they think of fireworks.”

The goal, Shaw said, is to have fireworks every night during the festival in the future.

Fireworks will also take place at

Dow’s Lake on May 14 and 17.

“We plan on it being pretty spectacular,” Shaw said.

The tulip festival was established in 1953, years after tulips were being donated from the Netherlands to Canada in 1945, when the Dutch royal family sent 100,000 tulip bulbs to Ottawa as a way of saying thank you for hosting Dutch Princess Juliana and her daughters in exile during the Second World War and for Canada’s role in the liberation of the Netherlands.

Each year the Netherlands send 20,000 bulbs. This year’s festival will take place from May 9 to 19 and while spring has come late this year, Shaw said there will be at least half a million tulips on display during the festival.

Aside from fireworks, there will be music, dance and cuisine attractions, tulip cycling trips, a circus, an international pavilion, swordplay and an art display representing the Afghan Mission.

In recognition and commemoration of Canada’s military mission in Afghanistan, May 9 has been declared a National Day of Honour by Royal Proclamation. According to the Department of National Defence’s website, a national ceremony will occur on Parliament Hill with veterans of all branches of the Canadian Armed Forces and families. This will be an occasion to pay tribute to the fallen, the sacrifices of the wounded and the special burden borne by military families.

Shaw said the tulip festival will honour veterans by hosting an invite-only event for veterans and their families on the second floor of Lago Bar and Grill. The main floor will be open for the public.

TULIP SHUTTLE

New this year, a free hop-on, hopoff shuttle service will be made available from Commissioner’s Park to Confederation Square, with stops in the Glebe and Little Italy, thanks to both neighbourhoods’ business improvement areas.

“We wanted to offer people the chance to see it all,” said Glebe BIA director Andrew Peck.

The shuttle will run daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. with extended service, until 11 p.m., because of the fireworks on May 9, 14 and 17.

The Glebe BIA has also ordered 1,000 tulips to be planted along Bank Street.

On Mother’s Day, May 11, the Glebe will host a Mad Hatter Tea Party from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and crafts and activities will take place at the corner of Fourth Avenue and Bank Street Mother’s Day weekend.

West Carleton to find out how to bring a little Zen to the garden Lifestyle - Gardeners often think about nourishing the plants they’re growing, but what about gardening that nourishes the soul?

“Imagine sitting in a stunning, peaceful garden, beautifully balanced in its asymmetry, mysterious and intriguing to explore,” says Zeninspired gardening practitioner Rebecca Cragg.

Cragg is the founder and president of Camellia Teas of Ottawa, where she practises and teaches several traditional Japanese arts. A licensed practitioner of Ikebana, or flower arranging, Cragg is bringing her expertise to the May meeting of the West Carleton Garden Club.

“I will be introducing five basic principles of Japanese garden design and how to apply them here in our Ottawa-area landscape,” she says. She’ll look at water features, stones, and garden accessories such as lanterns.

And she’ll offer some practical ideas that can be applied immediately, plus share sources of materials and lists of plants to add a little touch of Japan to your garden.

She describes Zenscaping as a style of landscaping that combines aspects or principles of Japanese traditional dry-stone gardening in a secular setting and allows the garden “to nourish your soul and provide you and others with the experience

REBECCA CRAGG of tranquility.”

Cragg spent seven years teaching English as a second language in Japan, taking advantage of her time there to master arts as varied as competitive Kimono dressing and brush painting.

She regularly returns to Japan “to enhance and deepen her understanding,” and is finishing her latest trip just days before speaking to the West Carleton club.

She refers to the garden surrounding her home, called Camellia House, as “little Japan” and “a cultural oasis tucked into a quiet

neighbourhood in the Mooney’s Bay area,” where she created and executed all of the design and garden work herself.

Speaking five languages, including Japanese, since moving back to Canada in 2005, she has worked with the Embassy of Japan and sat on the board of the local chapter of Ikebana International.

Cragg’s talk on Zenscaping – Bringing Principles of Japanese Garden Design to Ottawa Gardens takes place Tuesday, May 13 at the Carp Memorial Hall, 3739 Carp Rd. (at Donald B. Munro Drive).

The meeting starts at 7:30 p.m. and there is a nominal fee of $5 for non-members. For details, visit www.wcgc.ca.

Making the most of natural light

COMMUNITY news .COM

R CHECK OUT OUR FLYE

INSIDE!

R0012687731 R001268773

Lifestyle - Maximizing natural light when building or renovating a home has many advantages. Not only is natural light better for us but it also reduces the need for energy-consuming artificial lighting.

Because Canadians spend much of the winter inside, exposure to good quality lighting is an important factor in keeping healthy. Variations in light affect hormone levels and biological cycles; scientific studies even show that adequate natural lighting at work can increase productivity and reduce absenteeism. Natural light also increases energy levels.

When building or renovating, keep in mind that the intensity and distribution of natural light in a room depends on the dimensions of the space, the materials composing the internal surfaces, as well as its location, orientation, and the quality of the windows.

Optimizing natural light • Several smaller windows are better than one large window, which causes more glare.

• The positioning of windows on several walls ensures better light distribution.

• High windows allow light to reach further into the home.

• Windows in a horizontal line distribute daylight better than round or square windows, as the latter create a strong contrast between the window

and the wall.

• Large areas of dark colour should be avoided or situated away from windows, as they inhibit daylight from penetrating and cause glare when they are close to bright colours.

Walls facing a window should be a

pale colour.

• Matte finishes distribute light more efficiently than shiny surfaces and create less glare.

• Translucent interior windows and partitions allow natural light to reach throughout the house.

Does your bathroom need a facelift?

Lifestyle - Over the years, bathrooms have evolved in order to accommodate all those hurried morning showers, children’s bath times, and the few moments of relaxation that are such a treat after a hard day at work. And because your bathroom may also act as a laundry room and linen closet, it may be useful to consider enlarging or renovating it.

If you have the budget and the time, you might want to envisage a complete remodel, where everything is demolished and you start from zero. Alternatively, you might want to consider a more modest project, where you keep the original position of the bathroom fittings and update the faucets, install a heated floor, and add a few extra cabinets or shelves.

Many people take advantage of a complete remodel to enlarge the existing bathroom by adding part of an adjacent room.

Water consumption should be taken into consideration when choosing bathroom fittings, as well as the comfort of the seat and height of the toilet. Do you prefer the standard height of between 35 and 38 cm, or the “comfort” height, which is between 40 and 43 cm?

The latter is ideal for tall people and those with back or leg problems. When shopping for faucets, opt for good quality hardware with a chrome or stainless

If you’d like to incorporate the very latest in bathroom designs, keep in mind that recessed lighting is in style.

As well as being more discreet, these fixtures also give more subdued lighting.

Or how about a suspended linen closet, which can be a perfect place to store towels and beauty products?

Recessed shelves in the shower are another current trend and are very useful for holding soaps and shampoos.

Lifestyle - Faucets can make all the difference in giving a perfect finishing touch to a new basin, bath or kitchen sink. Available in a huge variety of styles, colours, and materials, modern faucets also offer some interesting options for those who want to combine style with practicality.

Modern bathrooms and kitchens use mixer taps, meaning the hot and cold water are mixed before leaving the spout. They are available in various heights and styles but always have a spout with one or two handles. The base can be square, rectangular, or circular with clean-cut lines.

Centerset faucets are the most common and are made to be installed in a single hole in the sink. These faucets have a base that typically requires making only one hole in the sink and come

with two separate taps and a spout mounted on a single deck plate. There is a wide range of styles and finishes to suit every taste, including many with elaborate details.

These days, it is increasingly common to find what is called widespread bathtub faucets, where the taps for hot and cold water, as well as the spout, are separate entities.

This type of installation requires three holes in the bath but allows consumers more choice, as the faucets and the spout can be chosen separately.

The most modern faucet technology also includes temperature sensors, integrated filters and lights, as well as touch controls.

Today’s faucets offer many modern and practical functions.

April Verch to play, dance at Mother’s Day concert Variety of Arts – One of the Ottawa Valley’s most popular musicians in returning to the area for a Mother’s Day concert.

Internationally renowned fiddler, stepdancer and singer/songwriter April Verch will break away from a tour of the U.S. to play a concert this Sunday, May 11 at the Stewart Community Centre in Pakenham.

“I am so looking forward to getting home to the Ottawa Valley, if only for one night, and performing at ‘home’ as well,” said Verch.

The event, a fundraiser for the Anglican Parish of Pakenham, will begin at 2 p.m.

The $25 tickets are available in advance at Nicholson’s, the Pakenham General Store, Darvesh Gas and Grocery (Kinburn), or by calling Sean Watson at 613-624-5069.

The April Verch Band - rounded out by bassist and clawhammer banjo player Cody Walters and guitarist Hayes Griffin, who has a Masters in jazz improv from the New England Conservatory, is an energetic, virtuosic, tradition-celebrating outfit.

The band’s dramatic grand finale involves Verch fiddling and stepdanc-

ing, often executing two entirely different intricate rhythmic patterns at once.

Verch, who is in the second decade of her musical career, has won many awards and competition and represented Canada’s fiddling tradition by performing in the opening ceremonies at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games.

“The accolades are important and noteworthy and special to me,” she says. “But what I think is most impressive to me is that I’ve been doing this full time since 2000. We make a living playing music that we love and it touches other people.

“I feel like we’re extremely lucky to do that, but also I work really hard, not just at the music, but at every aspect of our career, to make that happen. That we find a way to make it work, and have had that kind of longevity, that’s impressive to me.”

Verch is getting rave reviews for her ninth album, Bright Like Gold.

One review says it “captures a woman who’s fleshed out her identity and is in full command of her gifts, a woman who’s grown from a prodigy into an enduring artist - one of music’s most unforgiving public transitions - with

The album features an impressive range of material from the trio.

Verch is fluent in folk traditions, the Ottawa Valley ones she was born into as well as the American ones she later discovered. She reinvigorates fiddle tunes like those featured in the Canadian medley ‘Dusty Miller’, ‘Fiddle Fingers’ and ‘Grizzly Bear’ and the Appalachian medley ‘Edward in the Treetop’, ‘Yellow Jacket’ and ‘Quit That Tickling Me’.

There are also originals on the album like her instrumental waltz

‘Morris & Boris’ and country courting number ‘The Only One’.

What makes the latter song even more special is that Bluegrass Hall of Famer Mac Wiseman’s voice is on it, and he’s not the only guest of note.

Premier old-time fiddler Bruce Molsky joins Verch for some handsome dual fiddling on ‘Evening Star Waltz’ and bluegrass banjo icon Sammy Shelor appears on ‘Davy Davy’ and ‘Folding Down the Sheets’.

Verch also chose to include ‘No Other Would Do’, the only song her dad’s ever written, on the album.

Community – Centerpointe theatre have announced their line-up for the new year and there is plenty of variety throughout it to keep people interested.

On the comedy front, Centerpointe has pulled together some names audiences are sure to want to check out.

Shaun Majumder of This Hour has 22 Minutes will be performing in October, while in February, Saturday Night Live veterans Rob Schneider, Tim Meadows and Chris Kattan will be bringing some star power to the theatre.

Also in February, CBC’s comedy radio program The Debaters will make its return to Centerpointe.

“The Debaters tapings in Ottawa are the best attended, most appreciated and often most hilarious of anywhere in the country,” said Steve Patterson, The Debaters host. “If we were invited to tape there every week, I wouldn’t debate that idea.”

Highlights for families include the Kratts Brothers, from shows like Wild Kratts, Kratts Creatures and Zaboomafoo, who will be bringing their animal-filled show back to the theatre in October as well as a performance from Jim Henson’s Sid the Science Kid Live! in November.

For music fans Randy Bachman’s Vinyl Tap Tour and Great Big Sea’s Alan Doyle will be making stops at the Ottawa theatre.

Also in the line-up are Pittsburgh’s Squonk Opera, a dance-filled All the Right Moves production and the GO Roadshow, among other performances.

The theatre says the variety in their line-up been getting a strong response and they chose to continue it this year.

“We changed our Centrepointe Theatres Presents programming drastically this past season and patrons responded,” said Allan Sansom, artistic producer and manager of Centrepointe Theatres. “Thus far, 11 of the 18 main stage offerings in the 2013-14 season have sold out and the two shows still remaining look like they will as well.”

For more information, go to www. centrepointetheatres.com or call the box office at 613-580-2700.

All prices are cash prices with only the HST extra. Other charges may apply if finance option chosen, such as PPSA or other fees charged by the finance institution, Carproof, lien checks, or other charges that may be incurred when trading in a vehicle, discharging lien, or financing a vehicle. Many clients with less than perfect credit may qualify for rates as low as 3.99% but rates may vary based on credit history from 3.99 to 29.99%. Many institutions charge fees in addition to PPSA and those charges are passed on to the consumer.
