Campaign to show baseball spirit

Resident comment sought on latest bridge designs

Laura [email protected]

EMC news - Residents are fi nally getting a peek at new curved designs for a foot-bridge over the Rideau Canal near Lansdowne Park and the city wants to know what they think.

More images of the two proposed designs have been added to the citys website, with the direct link posted on the projects blog at rideauca-nalbridge.ca.

That website also has a link to an online survey where people can submit comments about the latest proposed de-sign for the pedestrian and cy-cling bridge, which will span from Colonel By Drive and Fifth Avenue in the Glebe (be-side the Canal Ritz restaurant) to Clegg Street on the east side of the canal, in Old Ottawa East.

The new design is a combi-nation of elements from two options put forward in public consultations last fall.

We want comments on the overall structure and design, said the projects manager, Co-lin Simpson. We want to see if people agree with us.

It features a continuously curved bridge with a switch-back style ramp that forces cyclists to slow down. The east ramp is proposed to cross over to the east side of Colonel By Drive instead of linking to the pathways beside the canal.

EMC sports - Members of the community are joining forces with the city to pro-mote the role of youth in mak-ing the future of baseball in Ottawa a reality.

Champions of Ottawa an-nounced their new youth-ori-ented campaign, For the Love of the Game in Ottawa, in an effort to gain more support to bring a Class-AA minor league baseball team to the

city during an April 19 event at the Ottawa Baseball Sta-dium.

The community-based ad-vocacy group, consisting of a number of Ottawa businesses, launched a season ticket de-posit campaign in March to garner support and show pro-spective minor league clubs that the city is serious in bringing an affi liate team to the capital.

This announcement regard-ing giving youth a chance to

watch baseball games during the 2013 season is an addition to that campaign.

Our businesses commu-nity recognizes the value of a new professional baseball team in Ottawa, said Da-vid Gourlay, founder of the group. This initiative gives local companies a chance to help our kids share in the thrill of the game.

The goal of the campaign is to get businesses to purchase deposits on youth tickets,

which will be donated to a lo-cal charity.

United Way Ottawa, Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Ottawa, Challenger Little League and Ottawa Commu-nity Housing are the recipients of the charitable donations.

Mayor Jim Watson, accom-panied by councillors Stephen Blais, Steve Desroches and Bob Monette, joined Gourlay for the announcement.

EMC news - The after four months at a temporary loca-tion, the medical clinic at the Wabano Centre for Aborigi-nal Health has returned to its Montreal Road home.

The clinic had been operat-ing at Montfort Hospital since January due to ongoing reno-vations at the Wabano Centre in Vanier.

The health clinic is back at 299 Montreal Rd., said Carlie Chase, spokeswoman for the centre. Montfort generously donated space to our clinic during this con-struction time. This is a great example of community part-nership.

Chase said it was very im-portant for the clinic to remain open during construction and thanks to the help from Mont-fort, clients were able to con-tinue receiving service.

The space at the hospital was provided rent-free, she added.

Montfort really stepped up to the plate, Chase said. I dont know what we would have done otherwise and hav-ing this kind of community partnership is huge. The fact

that they gave us space, when they could have probably used the space to rent out is amaz-ing and it is that kind of com-munity partnership that is so important to us.

The proximity of the hos-pital to the centre made it a much easier time for clients, she said.

Montfort isnt the only place helping to make sure Wabanos services can con-

tinue to operate during the renovation. After school pro-grams have been held at Ride-au High School and many of the centres offices moved temporarily to the Overbrook-Forbes Community Resource Centre.

The connections we are making during this time are amazing, Chase said. Our biggest challenge has been we havent had a home base, we

have been scattered all around and relied on our community partners.

Staff at the Wabano Cen-tre are working to make sure those connections with other community organizations are maintained. Chase said the centre and Montfort Hospital are working on initiatives to integrate indigenous healing cultures at the hospital.

Back at the Wabano Cen-tre, the clinic remains much the same as what clients will remember. In fact, Chase said, most of the original build-ing will remain the same. The construction done to the building was to reinforce the structure.

The new addition at Waba-no, the Mamawi Centre, will be connected to the original building, with two walls being taken down for the opening of the cultural centre, which is to take place in mid-November.

All the other programming, which has been taking place at Rideau High School and Overbrook-Forbes will return to Montreal Road in the sum-mer.

Construction on the $9.6 million expansion began in May 2011.

Wabano clinic moves back into newly-renovated home

Photo by Michelle NashCarlie Chase, director of initiatives for the Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health shows off the fast-changing new construc-tion of the Wabano Mamawi expansion. Programming and the health clinic had moved off-site for a portion of the con-struction. The health clinic is now back at 299 Montreal Rd.


EMC community - The Beautification Vanier group passed a motion at a recent meeting that will see it raise money for the new Wabano Mawami Centre on Montreal Road.

The Wabano Centre is in the midst of a campaign to raise money to help fund the expansion of health ser-vices and construction of the first-ever national centre of excellence in Aboriginal health.

The buy-a-tile campaign was created by the centre to help raise $400,000 for the construction of their new Mamawi Centre. Beautifica-tion members Kim Yule and Lucie Marleau raised the idea at the committees April 17 meeting.

I think this is really im-portant, Yule said. It would

solidify our presence in the community.

The tiles will be part of a star blanket design on the floor of the cultural gathering space in the Mamawi Centre, currently under construction on Montreal Road.

Each tile is $200 and has space for two names.

Even if people want to do-nate $2 I think we will be able to get to $200, Yule said.

The Vanier Community As-sociation has also indicated it would be purchasing a tile.

The campaign has sold 300 tiles to date.

Only moments after the motion was made, several Beautification Vanier mem-bers reached into their pock-ets to start the pool for the purchase of a tile.

The group will be sending a letter out to members encour-aging them to donate what they can.

Others looking to contrib-ute to the buy-a-tile campaign can find more information by contacting Carlie Chase at 613-220-1447 or via email at [email protected], or by visiting wabano.ca.

EMC news - Not all city properties are cut from the same cloth under the expand-ed non-smoking bylaw.

Areas like libraries and po-lice stations are covered by arms-length boards that have their own authority to choose whether to adopt the citys new policy banning smoking on all city properties, which is mainly aimed at parks and beaches.

Some of them, like the po-lice services board and most recently, the library board, have quickly introduced the same smoking ban.

Library board chairwom-an Jan Harder, councillor for Barrhaven Ward, says it wasnt a diffi cult decision be-cause it just makes sense to ban smoking outside librar-ies.

I dont think people come to the library to smoke, she said.

But the waters get murkier when discussion shifts to other municipal facilities that dont fall under the citys ban, such as the municipal campground on Corkstown Road and the Pine View Golf Course near Gloucester.

The citys chief medical of-fi cer of health, Dr. Isra Levy, sent all those authorities let-ters inviting them to adopt the smoking ban, but the decision wasnt quite as easy for some, like the municipal camp-ground authority, which con-sidered the ban at the same time as the library board.

Its a more complicated decision to ban smoking in the campground, said camp-ground authority board mem-ber Mark Taylor, councillor for Bay Ward.

As chairman of the citys community and protective

services committee, Taylor is a big champion of the ex-panded non-smoking bylaw. But he and other campground board members faced a dilem-ma: are campsites more akin to hotel rooms, or to festivals that rent city park space?

Before making a decision on whether to extend a smok-ing ban in the campgrounds common areas to the camp-sites, the board asked for legal advice on whether the sites are considered tempo-rary residences and would therefore be exempt from a smoking ban.

We might already be there, Taylor said.

Lighting up on the mu-nicipally owned golf course shouldnt be banned, either, said Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt, a member of the board that oversees Pine View Golf Course. If the rest of local golf courses allow smoking, it puts Pine View at a disadvantage, he said.

Its not a level playing fi eld, he said.

Even Taylor agreed with that sentiment. While he in-sisted he supports the premise of the non-smoking bylaw, he said that if a smoking ban on the green would put the citys golf course at a fi nan-cial disadvantage, it may not be worth it (he added that he wont participate in that deci-sion, since he does not sit on the golf course board).

Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney, who also sits on the golf course board, agreed.

The golf course is already in a fi nancial position, he said, referring to an auditor generals report last fall that showed lax oversight and fi -nancial mismanagement at the golf course.

The patio smoking ban al-

ready applies to Pine Views restaurant, just like every other patio in the city, Moffatt

and Tierney noted.The golf course board

wont meet to discuss Levys

offer to adopt the non-smok-ing bylaw until May.

As for campgrounds, Mof-

fatt also offered his two cents: Are you going to ban camp-fi res, too?

EMC entertainment - A group of Ottawa sculptors is returning to the Canadian Mu-seum of Nature for a special exhibition which celebrates art and nature.

Nature into Sculpture is an exhibition showcasing sculptures from members of

the National Capital Network of Sculptors. The works are all made of natural materials shaped into art. All mediums will be represented, from glass to steel, stone, wood and clay, and the art will range in sizes. The show begins on May 5 and a total of 42 artists will have their work on display.

I am always very excited about this, said Gary Gowes, a wood sculptor said. I think most artists would feel the same. The most important thing for an artist is for people to see it and this is a great opportunity.

The non-profit organiza-

tion has 60 members and those participating in the museums exhibition were juried in late February.

The judges spend a good part of the day to look at the different sculptures and then going by a marking system, the sculptors are chosen, Gowes said.

A late-bloomer in the sculpting world, having started after he retired from his career as a researcher at the National Research Council, Gowes has made woodworking both a hobby and his second career. He participated in last years

event and said it was a great opportunity.

Museum-goers will have the opportunity to meet Gowes and the other sculptors on May 6 at the exhibition from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The group does a couple of shows a year, with their staple event at the St. Brigids Centre for Arts and Culture, where 20 per cent of the proceeds go to-wards the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa.

The show is on at the muse-um until May 13. To visit the exhibition, regular museum admission applies.

EMC news - A series of changes to OC Transpo fares proposed for this summer are being aimed at encourag-ing riders to switch to using the new Presto payment card system.

That shift to electronic pay-ment cards will be accompa-nied by a jump in fare prices to those using another form of payment, such as cash or tickets.

The Presto cards will let rid-ers pay for fares in a number of ways: paying the pass fare each month, purchasing a monthly pass and loading it onto the card, or by loading money onto the e-Purse portion of the card to pay per ride.

Some fares will go up or down slightly in price, for an overall increase of 2.5 per cent across all types of fares, according to a report the citys transit commission was set to debate on April 23.

Pay-per-ride fares using the Presto card will be the least expensive option at $2.65, compared to the current fare of $2.60 using tickets or cur-rent cash fare of $3.25. But af-ter Presto is introduced, if you are an adult or student who wants to pay by cash or tick-ets, youll be spending more.

Whether riders take a regular or express bus, paying by using tickets is set to cost 15 per cent more than it does now.

The adult/student cash fare will rise to $3.30, while tick-ets will cost $3 per trip.

The fares for children by ticket or pay-per-ride e-Purse would be $1.50 if the new fare schedule is adopted, while the cash fare would be $1.75.

Monthly passes will rise from between 2.3 and 2.6 per cent of what they cost now, de-pending on the type of pass.

Student associations at both Ottawa universities voted in favour of the U-Pass, so the $180 fee will be added to their student fees each semester.

CHANGES FOR ALL AGES

Free rides for seniors will continue on Wednesdays, but free Monday and Friday af-ternoon rides introduced with fanfare by the mayor in last years budget will be axed in favour of discounted $2 per-ride fares using the Presto card. The variation during dif-ferent days of the week was confusing, the report states.

OC Transpo will also be changing its age categories to match the other cities that use Presto in Ontario (currently the Toronto/Hamilton area). That means children up to age fi ve will be free, ages six to 12 will be in the child category (it currently goes to age 11), ages 13 to 19 will be students, adult fares will apply to those aged 20 to 64, with anyone older than that classifi ed as a senior.

SOME FARES TO END

Rural transit users would be getting a big break if OC

Transpo cancels the highest fares in the system: the rural express pass. That only ap-plies to routes serving vil-lages of Cumberland, Sars-fi eld, Navan, Vars, Carlsbad Springs, Manotick, Munster Hamlet and Richmond. Ru-ral express routes would have the same fare as regular express routes, if the transit commission adopts the pro-posal.

The EcoPass is also set to become a victim of the new Presto card as OC Transpo gets ready to axe the deeply discounted fare program of-fered through employers. EcoPass holders can keep paying through payroll de-ductions into the fall, transi-tioning to automatic Presto payment when they choose. But the passes will increase in cost compared to what most EcoPass subscribers would have paid.

The switch to Presto will also eventually mean that in-dividual O-Train fares will go up to the regular OC Transpo full cash fare, rather than a discounted O-Train single-trip fare. Thats aimed at en-couraging people to use the e-Purse function of the Presto card.

OC Transpo will moni-tor the use of paper tickets after Presto starts before de-ciding whether to do away with tickets. That decision is expected by the end of the year.

OC Transpo has budgeted for riders to spend $174.3 million in fares in 2012. Riders fares will cover about 53 per cent of OC Transpos operating costs in 2012; the goal is to reach 55 per cent.

EMC news Overbrook residents are hosting a com-munity garage sale on May 5 to help raise money to revital-ize a park on the west side of the Vanier Parkway.

The second annual Over-brook Community Garage Sale is an opportunity for residents to either hold their own garage sale or participate in a group sale at Riverside Memorial Park, located at the corner of Queen Mary Street and North River Road, for a small fee. Money collected through the fees will go to-wards building a playground at the park.

It is going to be a great event, there will be food, lots of space for people to set up in the park, said Joanne Locky-er, fundraiser organizer. Plus the entire neighbourhood can participate by having a garage sale at home as well.

Lockyer has secured dona-tions of hot dogs and popcorn to sell at the event, proceeds from which will also go to-wards the playground.

Co-organizer Wendy Den-

nis said they are not trying to give events like the Great Glebe Garage Sale a run for their money yet, but enthusi-asm is growing in Overbrook.

We encourage everybody to put out their stuff, Dennis said. It is a great way to both get to know your neighbours and participate in a great cause.

The park is the only city-owned green space on the west side of the parkway. The area, which adjoins National Capital Commission-owned land next to the Rideau River, is beautiful Lockyer said, but does not have any play struc-tures for children.

We are looking at putting in swings and a natural play-ground for the children, she said

The effort to maintain the parkland goes back thirty years, when the city was poised to sell the land for de-velopment. Ever since, resi-dents have been working hard to maintain the park. At the helm is Lockyer, whose ef-forts have seen the park trans-formed from a patch of grass to a designated park with

picnic tables. New trees are scheduled to be planted this spring.

In the beginning, we werent even sure if it was a park, Lockyer said. Now there will be new trees. We have come a long way, but we are not quite there yet.

The association applied for a grant from the city through the minor capital grant program, where the city will fund a maximum of 50 per cent of total eligible project costs. The communi-ty has to raise $7,500 of the $15,000 total cost to receive the grant. So far they have raised $3,500.

The event runs from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and individuals can rent a space at the park to sell their stuff for $15, but must bring their own table. Dona-tions to the sale at the park will also be accepted at the park by 9 a.m. or can be placed at the end of driveways by 8 a.m. with a donation sheet at-tached. In case of rain, the sale will take place on May 6. To register or for more informa-tion, email [email protected].

Fundraiser set for Overbrook park


EMC news - The Sandy Hill community association is in favour of a developers proposal to demolish three decrepit buildings at the cor-ner of Rideau and Charlotte streets and create a temporary park.

Demolition proposals for the Richcraft-owned proper-ties at 588 and 592 Rideau Street and 165 Charlotte St. were submitted to the city on April 12. After demolition, Richcraft is proposing to put grass on the cleared site, cre-ating a city-leased park.

Action Sandy Hill was fi rst notifi ed of the concept at their February board meeting. The board is in favour of the plan

and understands the park will be temporary.

We are still awaiting a document to sign that indi-cates we were in agreement with the demolition of the buildings and the installa-tion of a temporary park and that we would not oppose the parks removal in the future when the site is ultimately developed, said Christopher Collmorgen, Action Sandy Hill president. We have been pushing for a solution and are highly supportive of this ini-tiative.

Benches, trees, garbage bins and a pathway were among the features shown in a conceptual drawing attached to the application.

Richcraft will be respon-

sible for the construction of the park and will pay for the annual operating costs, which are estimated at about $10,000 a year. The city will lease the park from Richcraft for $1 per year.

A site plan proposal for the park will be submitted to the city within six weeks. The developer estimates the park would be completed by Oc-tober.

At this time there is no ap-proved site plan for the devel-opment of these properties, but the site has been recently re-zoned for an eight-storey mixed commercial/residen-tial use building, which could be developed within 10 years from the approval date of the proposal.

Weve all been there. Staring at a blank com-puter screen, minds wandering at our desks when asked to solve a problem for our organizations, watching the hours tick by as we accomplish little to noth-ing in the eight-hour workday. Stumped.

It turns out, the best thing to do in these situations is get up, go out and have some fun. Or nd some other way for your brain to relax.

Researchers at Northwest-ern and Drexel Univer-sity have spent years using magnetic resonance imaging and ectroencephalography to examine what happens in our brains when they are stimu-lated or active. They have concluded that, in order for creativity to occur, we need to give the right hemisphere of our brains a change to out-bat-tle the left hemisphere, which has a tendency to dominate whenever theres a problem to be solved. The best way to do this is to escape mundane or routine tasks.

The results of the studies are recounted in a new book, Imagine: How Creativity Works, by Jonah Lehrer. It offers unique insight into how relaxing our brains can cause alpha waves to emerge, help-ing our brains particularly the right-side that is associated with creativity to make new connections.

Perhaps most telling is that the more obsessed we are with a particular challenge or prob-lem, the less likely we are to nd ways of resolving it. This goes a long way to explain-ing those days when were on a deadline, and yet cant seem to complete the task at hand. Doing puzzles, playing sports, going for a walk, even having a conversation with a

colleague can all help break routine, which researchers argue is integral to allowing creativity to emerge. Work-places that take the recom-mendations seriously could do much to increase the presence of creativity in their midst, something thats particularly important in Canada.

Because, as it turns out, Canada has lagged its peer countries for years when it comes to innovation.

And while innovation can

be dif cult to measure, each year, the Conference Board of Canada does just that, at least from a scienti c point of view. Using indicators such as overall number and share of global patents, published scienti c articles, trademarks and export market share in aerospace, engineering, computers and pharmaceuti-cal, the research organization measures Canada against 16 comparable countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development in its annual report card, How Canada Performs. Last year, Canada ranked a depress-ing 14th place out of 17 and received a D grade in the

innovation category. While the Confer-

ence Boards analysis and recommendations focus on increasing funding of research and development and better linking government funding with science researchers and business, Lehrers book seems to make the case for baby steps toward innovation that could be implemented at the departmental level within or-ganizations. What if Canadian workplaces allowed employ-

ees to have more opportunities to just relax during the day, connect with colleagues in and out of the of ce and perhaps play a little more on the job?

We just may see some more collective right-brain activity and boost Canadas innovation ranking as a result.

So the next time you nd yourself stumped, go ahead and throw your feet up on your desk, put your hands behind your head and close your eyes. If the boss asks what youre up to, tell her youre trying to boost your organizations creativity. If she doesnt believe you, tell her youve got science behind you to prove it.

EMC news - The Rideau Canal boating season could be cut short this summer after the federal government directed the department responsible for it to shave $29.2 million off its operating budget.

In an internal staff memo, chief executive Alan Latourel-le said the cutbacks will mean Parks Canadas seven canals could see shorter seasons, re-duced hours of operation and fewer staff at lock stations in order to focus investments on the periods of highest require-ments.

Parks Canada spokeswoman Carol Sheedy said the Rideau Canal will still open on time for the Victoria Day weekend in May and hours of operation will remain unchanged this summer. However, the canal could close earlier than the currently scheduled Oct. 10, depending on the departments analysis of how and when the canal is used throughout the season.

Sheedy said Parks Canada will look to concentrate ser-vices in the peak part of the

boating season. Based on these analyses, she said the 2013 season could experience more drastic changes. She said the cutbacks are justifi ed because locks services at Parks Canada canals have remained virtu-ally unchanged for the past 25 years, while usage has dropped by about a third.

When you think of it, hav-ing the length of season and hours remaining largely the same but with less use, the cost of recreational boating is very high on a per-boat basis, she said. Within the current budget context Canadian tax-payers can no longer afford to have Parks Canada operate the canal the same way.

Merrickville Mayor Doug Struthers said the cutbacks will have an impact on towns along the Rideau Canal that depend on tourism.

Given that the canal was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site only fi ve years ago, Struthers said he was surprised Parks Canada was given marching orders to cut services. He said he was under the impression the Rideau Ca-nal, as a national and interna-

tional tourist destination, was viewed as a strategic invest-ment and somewhat exempt from the chopping block.

He said now that the cuts are on the table and an assess-ment of boat traffi c is ongoing, this is an opportunity to prove the value of the Rideau Canal in order to preserve services for next season.

To me the opportunity is not to say stop the process, but to assess the value of the Rideau corridor, he said. Its an opportunity to give an out-come ... that it is appropriate to maintain if not the level of funding (then) certainly the operating season and the level of service.

He said he hopes such an outcome would mean the fed-eral government would reverse canal-specifi c cuts to the Parks Canada budget.

Sheedy said the fi nal deci-sion about this years season end date will be made later in the summer once boat traffi c numbers have come in.

Only in Canada could we get so philosophically wound up over a game. Hockey being the game, of course.For two months or so, the game takes over

our national broadcaster and our sports pages and the consciousness of a lot of our people. This causes worries for some of the people whose consciousness is not taken over.

They worry out loud, often in letters to the editor, about the game, particularly about the violence in it and sometimes about the way it has bumped reality shows off the CBC.

Others, in other letters to the editor, are happy. Hockey, they say, defi nes us, so whats so bad about spending two months allowing ourselves to be obsessed by it?

So then theres an argument over whether hockey defi nes us or not, which is followed by an argument over whether its good or bad that hockey defi nes us, which is followed by an argument over what hockey defi nes us as.

Weve had quite a bit of this during the National Hockey League playoffs so far. The early games, characterized by a lot of largely unpunished fi ghting, boarding and pushing and shoving, caused considerable hand-wring-ing. Is this what Canada is all about? people asked. Is this who we are?

Because if this is who we are, it means we are a people who indulge in and delight in violence (because dont forget that the TV ratings were high). Thats what was said and it was countered by people who said we are a tough nation that doesnt get pushed around and thats what our record in two world wars

shows.Its intriguing that a game can cause such

deep thinking.But the deep thoughts had to change later

on, when games became faster and more peaceful. Think of the difference between the second and third games of the Senators-Rang-ers series. The second game was wild and violent, with brawls, injuries and suspensions. The third game was fast, skilful hockey with hardly a stick raised in anger.

Is it Game 2 or Game 3 that defi nes us as a nation? The difference between the two games might be explained by stricter refereeing. The refs made it clear that the cheap shots, particularly after the whistle, were going to be punished. All of a sudden, the cheap shots disappeared.

So maybe, instead of being a violent people, we are a people that plays by the rules, at least when we think we will be punished for not do-ing so. We are a nation that obeys the ref.

That, of course, fi ts in with some of the classic stereotyping to which Canadians have subjected themselves over the years. We are obedient; we dont take chances, we dont jaywalk etc. The old joke: How do you get 200 Canadians out of the swimming pool? Say, Please get out of the swimming pool.

Some people dont mind that defi nition. Turned on its head it means that we get along with each other, we tolerate differences, we have a peaceful society. These are not qualities to be sneezed at in a troubled world.

But it does rankle some people to think that we are not adventurous, not risk-takers, lovers not fi ghters. So the Game 2 defi nition of a Canadian appeals to them. They like they idea that we are fi ghters and they dont mind it that people in the stands seem to enjoy the fi ghting as much as the goal-scoring.

There is not a lot else to philosophize about during the Stanley Cup playoffs, so its no wonder that such an epidemic of deep thinking breaks out each year. But its always possible that, in fact, hockey is just a game. Its an un-Canadian theory, but you never know.

Only a game? Are you kidding?

Elected offi cials wont always agree on whats right, but when they disagree, the public has right to reason-able discourse.

Barrhavens elected public school trustee voted on an issue and the local MPP and city councillor have called for her resignation. That sugges-tion is not only foolish and parochial, but runs counter to something called democracy. They taught that back in high school but apparently some

people were away that day.The public school voters

of Barrhaven elected Donna Blackburn to represent them and she has done a good job. MPP Lisa MacLeod and Ottawa Coun. Jan Harder can disagree with Blackburn whenever they like. That too is democracy.

The contentious issue is a school inside the Greenbelt. The trustees could have de-cided to renovate Broadview Public School or choose to re-build. Blackburn voted for the

rebuild. Its more costly in the short term but offers savings in the long term because the board wont have to go back and renovate and maintain year after year.

Imagine, a politician think-ing in the long term!

Harder and MacLeod believe Blackburn should have voted for the cheaper short term solution. They say that any dollar spent on Broadview means needed expansions of Barrhaven schools will be delayed.

MacLeod and Harder have since then made threats about Blackburns future as a trustee, suggesting they will seek to have her thrown out.

Harder and MacLeod should remember they are public servants. They get paid to represent their constituents and they are elected in free and fair elections. Both are paid enough to make a living on our tax money.

Blackburn gets paid a pit-tance, suggesting she and the other school trustees serve

because they want to serve, not for career ambitions.

Well paid and regularly in the limelight, Harder and MacLeod believe they can act like bullies and tell Blackburn what to do. Its arrogance and one is left wondering when MacLeod and Harder will be fi tted for their crowns.

Blackburn was elected to make the right decisions when it comes to spending money so Ottawas children all of them, not just those in Barrhaven get the best pos-

sible education. It is patently ridiculous to suggest that all spending outside of Barrhaven slights Barrhaven residents.

It begs some questions. Harder voted for renova-

tions at a Kanata library: couldnt that money have been used to improve the Barrhaven branch? And how could Ma-cLeod allow herself to support investment in northern Ontario when that obviously takes away investment that could have benefi ted the people of Nepean-Carleton?

And fi nally, how would they like another elected representative to stand up and question their commitment to local residents?

Schoolyard bullies forget how democracy works
