News - The frustration Ot-tawa and Gatineau face from dealing with the National Capital Commission has led to the mayors of both cities to call on the prime minister to make changes to the agency.

Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson was joined by Gatineau Mayor Maxime Pedneaud-Jobin at Ottawa city hall on Jan. 29 to announce they were sending a joint letter to Prime Minis-ter Stephen Harper calling for changes to the commission’s governance structure. The changes are needed to end the NCC’s stonewalling of projects and processes made by local elected offi cials, Watson said.

He compared the “democrat defi cit” of the NCC to the scan-dals plaguing the Senate.

“Yes, we are the nation’s capital. It’s a banner we wear

with pride, but it doesn’t mean our residents and taxpayers de-serve to be shut out of the con-versation or pay a premium in their property taxes,” Watson said.

Watson said he and Pedne-aud-Jobin agree that the NCC has lost its focus.

Aside from weighing in on major projects like the route for the city’s “Stage 2” light-rail project (which the city hopes to run through 500 metres of NCC land), the commission has a role in many other city initiatives.

Ottawa must consult the NCC if it wants to make chang-es to city hall. The commission also “feels the need to dictate” details such as what kinds of shrubs the city should plant along Confederation Line, the fi rst leg of the light-rail line, Watson said.

Giving kids a sporting chanceGov.-Gen. David Johnston and Justice Minister Peter MacKay warm up before the fi rst annual Canal Classic supporting Jumpstart Charities. The friendly game of shinny played on the Rideau Canal on Jan. 30 aimed to raise money to help low-income children in Ottawa participate in sports and recreational activities by covering the costs of regis-tration, equipment and transportation, with 100 per cent of the money raised to go to-wards the charity.

News - Skaters in Ottawa are asking people to ollie up some cash to help make this city’s fi rst downtown skate park the best it can be.

The redevelopment of Cen-tretown’s McNabb Park will cost $1 million and once com-plete, it will feature a skate-

board area, a community gar-den and a new play structure.

A total of 1,200 square me-tres of McNabb Park is avail-able for the skate park, with a grand sum of $300,000 to spend.

In an effort to create some-thing to really be proud of, the Ottawa Skateboard Community Association is trying to raise an additional $100,000 to add

features skateboard shop owner and association member Aaron Cayer said all skaters want.

Cayer explained that when the plans for the McNabb skate park were revealed, the associ-ation felt there were some key elements which were left out of the plan -- so the group decided to contribute to the project.

Funny enough, one of the things the association is raising

the money for is as simple as making a fl at surface, the other is to have low rails, or ledges, the height of benches for small jumps and tricks.

“It’s about making sure there is enough space and places for everyone to enjoy, without having to wait around,” Cayer said.

News - Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury will host a meeting next week concerning the proposed changes to an intersection in Lowertown.

The meeting will take place on Feb. 12 in the base-ment of the Rideau Branch of the Ottawa Public Library at 6 p.m. and will allow members of the public to dis-cuss the proposed confi gura-tion for the intersection of Beausoleil Drive and Chapel Street.

There will be a presentation

on the reasons for the change, which will include installing a stop sign on Beausoleil and convert the opening of Cha-pel Street and Beausoleil into a cyclist access-only intersec-tion.

A dead-end street, Chapel was opened as part of the Rideau Street Renewal con-struction to offer detours for traffi c last summer.

According to a letter Fleury’s offi ce sent out to residents, Fleury asked for the delay of the closure of Chapel to allow staff to ana-lyze the opportunity to cre-ate a safe pedestrian cross-ing, mainly for students who attend York Street Public School, Sainte-Anne Catho-lic School and De La Salle High School.

The cycling access-only proposal that will be pre-sented is one that community members suggested at a meet-

ing in December 2013. Painting pedestrian cross-

ing lines at the intersection is also part of the plans, which is aimed to be completed in the spring.

“Our intention from the beginning was to improve that intersection,” Fleury said.

“To force people to stop. We have had near misses and injuries in the past.”

Fleury’s staff has been working closely with the province and reviewing the Ontario Highway Traffi c Act to see what could be done about the intersection.

According to Fleury, the volume of people crossing is not enough to warrant a sig-nal light crossing, but putting in the stop sign is a step in the right direction.

Other future options, Fleu-ry said, could include creat-ing a raised crossing.

News - In an effort to re-serve residential parking spaces for those living in the area, the Glebe will start a petition call-ing on the city to change the hours for on-street parking near Lansdowne Park.

Brian Mitchell, who leads the Glebe Community Associa-tion’s traffi c committee, said the city will be assisting the com-munity with the petition process for residents to request a reduc-tion of parking times on streets closest to Lansdowne.

Currently, parking is allowed for three hours on streets such as Holmwood Avenue and Fifth Avenue, which Mitchell report-ed could be reduced to one hour – if residents wish to do so.

“We know that they want this,” Mitchell said at the

Glebe’s association meeting on Jan. 28.

“The rationale for this change is to prevent those streets from becoming a free parking lot for Lansdowne.”

He added the idea was strong-ly supported by area residents in a traffi c survey conducted last year.

Mitchell created the survey to better understand worries residents had ahead of the re-opening of Lansdowne later this year. Mitchell used the re-sults to create a report for the city and the Lansdowne Traffi c Advisory Committee, led by Capital Coun. David Chernush-enko..

According to Mitchell’s monthly committee report, a walkabout took place in January on Bank Street to explain to city staff problems with pedestrian signals. As well, the city also

held a meeting to discuss the community’s recommendations for the Isabella-Elgin Street intersection to improve its ef-fi ciency, so it could become a better option for cars travelling from the west end of the city to use Queen Elizabeth Drive instead of using Bank Street or Bronson Avenue to access Lansdowne.

Mitchell said the city has agreed to work with the Min-istry of Transport to identify it as a preferred route for cars to travel to the park.

The city also told Mitchell they would monitor traffi c vol-umes and congestion on Isabella during events at Lansdowne.

The process of a petition must be initiated by residents on the street by calling 311 and getting connected to a traffi c as-sessment specialist.

If the specialist determines

there are no safety issues, 66 per cent of all households must sign a petition agreeing to ask the city to put up signs restrict-ing parking from three hours to one.

Parking petitions are common in urban wards like Kitchissip-pi, which has seen 27 of them in the last three years. In the sub-urbs, Kanata North and Kanata South have each had only three petitions during that time.

Mitchell said for the petition to be successful, the traffi c com-mittee is seeking block volun-teers, much like the volunteers recruited for the traffi c survey last year.

Currently, the plan is for the volunteers to begin knocking on doors this month and March, fo-cusing on Fifth Avenue, Holm-wood Avenue and Ralph Street.

The traffi c committee will be meeting at the Glebe Communi-ty Centre at 7 p.m. on Feb. 10.

Hydro Ottawa has been recognized as a Top Employer in the National Capital Region (NCR) for its dedication to employee, workplace and community engagement.

The annual editorial competition, which forms part of Canada’s Top 100 Employers, recognizes the region’s most exceptional places to work by identifying those employers that lead in attracting and retaining employees. This is the sixth consecutive year Hydro Ottawa has been honoured.

The award comes after a successful year of giving back to the community, with Hydro Ottawa raising a record-breaking total of $228,415 for the United Way Ottawa through its Brighter Tomorrows Fund, and a “Go Paperless” E-Billing campaign that will result in more than 14,000 trees being planted in the Ottawa area this spring.

These initiatives, and more, are outlined in the company’s just released Corporate Social Responsibility Report. To download a copy, please visit our website.

2014LOOK

AHEAD

Last month in this space I looked back at some of the things council has accomplished during the first three years of our term. Now that the holidays are far in the rear-view and people are back in their usual rhythms, I wanted to write this month about what 2014 has in store.

This year marks the third year of our Ottawa On the Move project with 150 infrastructure projects across the city underway. Roads, sewers, sidewalks, bike paths, and more will continue to be upgraded to prepare our city’s transit infrastructure for the coming of Light Rapid Transit (LRT).

The LRT tunnel beneath the downtown core will continue to be dug by our three boring machines (Chewrocka, Jawbreaker, and Crocodile Rouge as named by the Grade 4 students who won our naming competition). In January we passed the 10% mark of the 2.5km tunnel and the system remains on track to be fully operation by 2018.

Opening in 2014 will be TD Place at Lansdowne Park as we

and I am thrilled to see the results of council’s decisive action to move forward with redeveloping Lansdowne Park start to come to fruition this summer.

Ottawa On the Move, LRT, and Lansdowne Park are the biggest infrastructure projects underway in 2014 but this year will also mark the beginning of some smaller but equally important projects as well including:

an $8.2 million investment

We will also continue to do more to make City Hall a people place rather than just a place for residents to pay parking tickets.

I have been incredibly impressed with Ottawa’s entrepreneurial talent over the past three years and will be partnering with the

Ottawa companies as well as others who started through the

then.

solicit feedback from residents about how the City of Ottawa can make the most of Canada’s 150th year. As the nation’s capital, we want to own 2017 and I will be asking residents what we should be doing to best celebrate our country’s sesquicentennial in Ottawa.

All in all it’s shaping up to be a year of progress in Ottawa.


Community - If you have heard of the Vanier Beautifi cation group, chances are you have heard they are awesome garbage pickers.

And if you didn’t already know that, now they have another award to prove it.

The group, affectionately known as “busy bees,” is a neighbourhood committee bent on making Vanier the cleanest community in the city.

As a reward for all their dirty work, the group recently won a Clean the Capital prize of $500 from the Graf-fi ti Response Team and a $25 gift cer-tifi cate from the Georgetown Pub.

“I think the money should go back into the community,” said Suzan Proulx, co-chairwoman of the com-mittee.

The fi rst large chunk of change the group has ever received, all members agreed with Proulx that the best idea is to put it back into the community.

Proulx suggested the Vanier Com-munity Church, which was recently hit by graffi ti.

Members in attendance at a recent

meeting agreed, stating a little help from the group could go a long way to help the church pay for the removal.

The group agreed Beautifi cation’s offi cial graffi ti buster, Allana MacIn-tosh, should be consulted on areas that could use a little extra elbow grease.

“I think we should put on our thinking hats, maybe do a drive or

walk around and look at where is most needed,” said Tina Delaney, co-chairwoman of the committee.

The group offi cially accepted the Clean the Capital award at a recep-tion at city hall on Jan. 29.

At the ceremony, Mayor Jim Wat-son confi rmed more than 80,000 people participated in 1,400 events in both the spring and fall clean-ups.

News - Crossing the Queen Eliza-beth Driveway at Fifth Avenue in the Glebe could soon become a little safer after new safety measures are installed.

The National Capital Commission confi rmed at the end of January that it would be moving forward with the planned improvements with work expected to begin in the fall.

The decision to complete the safer crossing is a result of the Rideau Ca-nal Corridor Pedestrian Crossings Study completed in 2011, based on community consultations held in 2010.

The goal of the study was to iden-tify key crossing points and develop solutions to allow for use of the area all year long and included input from community associations, special interest groups and representatives from both the city’s universities.

According to NCC spokesman Cédric Pelletier, the NCC has com-pleted other pedestrian crossings on Colonel By Drive behind Carleton University.

The most recent crossing, designated a priority crossing be-cause of its proximity to the univer-sity, was completed in late last year, at a cost of $300,000, which includ-ed four street lights and a pedestrian refuge island.

A similar crossing completed in early 2013 at Dow’s Lake cost the NCC $350,000 and included a pe-destrian crossing as well as improve-ment to the parking lot at Carleton

University and the nearby roadway. Pedestrian and cycling crossing

signs were placed at both spots. A provincially-sanctioned alter-

native is pedestrian priority cross-ings with yellow signs and fl ashing lights, and distinct painted crossing which require a motorist to stop when a pedestrian is waiting to cross, but the city nixed the use of thos in Ottawa in 2002 because driv-ers weren’t stopping at them.

The alternative to the pedestrian priority crossing would be a signal light crossing, at a generalized city cost of $75,000 to $100,000 depend-ing on needs at a particular site.

But whether the crossing will be similar to those already imple-mented along the canal, or becomes a signal-light crossing has yet to be determined.

According to Pelletier, the next steps for the NCC will be to work

on the design and establish what the cost for the new Fifth Avenue cross-ing will be.

In addition, the NCC said it would create another safe crossing on the other side of the canal at Colonel By and Clegg Street.

According to the NCC, work for that project would start as soon as funds are available.

The NCC will move forward with the planned improvements at both road crossings ahead of any city plans to build a pedestrian footbridge over the canal at this location.

The cost of the proposed foot-bridge is pegged at $17.5 million, but the city has no plans to build it until 2020 or 2021, said Capital Coun. David Chernushenko at a Jan. 28 Glebe Community Association meeting.

As a result, the councillor said he would like to create a community-led fundraising campaign to get the bridge built sooner rather than later.

The councillor said he is planning to hold a brainstorming session to discuss ways the community could fundraise for the bridge.

“I want to get the momentum go-ing,” Chernushenko said. “Maybe we can get it built earlier.”

More information about the de-sign and timeline for the footbridge is available on the city’s website, ot-tawa.ca.

Notice to Owners/ResidentsNotice of Study Commencement and Public Open House

Highway 417–Pinecrest Road InterchangeEastbound Transit Operational Improvements

THE STUDYThe City of Ottawa has retained MMM Group Ltd. to complete the detail design for eastbound transit operational improvements at the Highway 417–Pinecrest Road interchange. The study area is identified on the map.

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 Southeast directional ramp and relocation of existing utilities and signage to accommodate ramp modifications.

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

THE PROCESSWhile this is a City of Ottawa project, the work is being carried out within the Highway 417 corridor and will follow the approved environmental planning process for Group ‘B’ projects under the Ontario Ministry of Transportation’s Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000). Upon completion of the detail design, a Design and Construction Report will be prepared and filed for a 30-day public review period.

PUBLIC OPEN HOUSEYou are invited to attend a Public Open House for the project, scheduled for:Date: Monday, February 24, 2014Time: 4:30 to 7:30 p.m.Place: Bayshore Shopping Centre 100 Bayshore Drive, 1st Floor Ottawa, ON Parking is available.

The open house will provide members of the public with an opportunity to review the proposed ramp modifications, ask questions, and provide input into the final design.

News - Action Sandy Hill will hire a profession plan-ner to help them battle the latest development applica-tion proposed for the com-munity.

The development ap-plication in question is a purpose-built student hous-ing building at the corner of Laurier Avenue and Friel Street proposed by Viner Assets and consists of 162 units, with the potential for 600 students to live in the building.

Viner said the building would be professionally managed by a specialized student housing property manager from the United States, CA Ventures.

The proposal was not well received by area resi-dents, who came out in droves to a meeting back in November concerning the application.

Many opposed the pro-posal, stating student hous-ing should be built only on the University of Ottawa’s campus and not in their neighbourhood.

Action Sandy Hill’s plan-ning committee, which is also not in favour of the ap-plication, recently reached out to a professional plan-ning consultant for advice and guidance. Association vice-president Chad Rollins reported back to the board at its monthly meeting on Jan. 27, proposing that the board hire a planner to help com-ment, consult and fi ght the application.

“From my perspective, to spend a few thousand dol-lars on a few important fi les, I think we should do it,”

Rollins said. The board, which has al-

ready submitted comments concerning the application, will be consulting with this hired planner to see if there is anything more it could say or do to help change or shape the proposal.

Association treasurer Kyle Simunovic said he felt as a precaution the board should make sure there is a cap on the spending process, but agreed with the idea.

The motion, which was introduced by Rollins and seconded by fellow board member Jane Gurr, was for the board to approve spending to a maximum of $1,000 to hire a planner to assist with the Laurier/Friel proposal.

Of the 14 current board members, eight were pres-ent, voting unanimously in favour of the motion.

Rollins said the plan-ner he has been speaking with fi gured he would need to work with the fi le for at least three to four hours, and will submit a report to the board.

“We could look at this like an experiment,” he said. “Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t, but then we will know.”

Rollins suggested the board could approve this particular spending for the Friel proposal and any fu-ture applications would need separate board approval.

Bob Forbes, the asso-ciation’s other vice-presi-dent, said he felt the idea was a great one and added residents who lived near the proposed development would be in favour, and pos-sibly help with future fund-raising initiatives.

POLITICAL REPORTER:

There’s something peculiar in the wind blowing across the province since the turn of the calendar year. While many might hope for the sweet smell of spring, they’ll

be disappointed to learn it’s only the stale odour of a provincial election, which threatens to extend Ontario’s long winter.

News from Queen’s Park is fl ying thick and fast, with both the ruling Liberals and opposition Progressive Conservatives ramping up the rhetoric in advance of what will surely be an election this April or May. From Premier Kathleen Wynne pledging to raise the minimum wage to PC leader Tim Hudak promising to bring more than a million jobs to the province, our leaders are suddenly bursting with plans to make our lives better than they have been for much of the past six years.

Six years. That’s how long it’s been since world fi nancial markets melted down, plunging the global economy into a tailspin it is just now showing signs of pulling out of, at least in a manner that most of us would notice. That recovery isn’t extending to everyone in equal measure, however. Here in Ontario, the jobless rate still exceeds the national average. Kickstarting the economy needs to be top priority for the premier’s offi ce, no matter who occupies it.

Which brings us to Hudak. After more than 10 years in power, what provincial Liberals have to offer has been on display for quite a while, even after a year under Wynne’s leadership. If NDP leader An-drea Horwath has anything to contribute outside of support for the Liberals, she’s keeping it to herself.

So it falls largely to Hudak to offer the province a new way forward. What has he proposed? Through a combination of balanced budgets, lower energy costs and taxes, and “right to work” legislation, he plans to put the open for business sign back in the front win-dow. Unfortunately, he offers little detail on how he’ll get this done. Yet that formula would lead to drastic changes from what Ontarians have been used to over the past 15 years. Are we prepared for that?

Balancing the budget can certainly be accom-plished, but cuts would need to be particularly deep if they are to facilitate both getting back into the black and lowering taxes. Lowering hydro costs is also far from easy: the hole dug on the energy fi le by the Liberals is very deep – getting out of it won’t come without further cost, let alone smaller bills for consumers and businesses.

Hudak needs to better explain how he intends to accomplish his goals if voters are to feel confi dent offering their support when the writ is dropped.

OPINIONOPINION Connected to your community

Part of being Canadian involves brag-ging to people from warmer climes about how cold it is up here. Another part of being Canadian is wanting to

get out of the cold.So, now this will be interesting – Winter-

lude and the Olympics at the same time. One is trying to get you out of the house; the other is tempting you to stay in.

How you resolve that is up to you, but the choice says something about the way we winter in this country. Half of our national make-up glorifi es our climate and takes pride in getting out there and conquering it.

The other half says: “Turn up the heat, close the doors and what’s on TV?”

Now, it’s entirely possible that what’s on TV will drive you outside. Much as everyone enjoys watching the skiing, the skating, the hockey and the luge, much of the TV coverage of the Olympics is not about skates, skis, hockey sticks and luges. It is about the networks that are carrying them. We know that from their advance commercials. This is their chance to shine, they all fi gure, and their big-name personalities will be featured at length and maybe we’ll get to watch some Olympic events, too, between all the grinning and cheerleading.

A few hours of TV and radio self-obsession might impel you out the door to check out what Winterlude has to offer.

Now, Winterlude has had a mixed history. It began its existence as something that clogged up the Rideau Canal ice with horses and TV personalities and corporate sponsors so that no one could have a decent skate. No less a per-son than former NCC chairman Douglas Ful-lerton, the father of canal skating, went public with the idea that the “rink,” as he called it, was for skating, not for standing around and watching stuff.

But eventually, the Winterlude people got a handle on that, moved many of the events off the ice, got more and more local businesses in-volved, reached out to the arts community and created a bigger, yet somehow better festival.

One difference this year is that the National Capital Commission, which initiated Winter-lude and has run it for decades, is no longer doing so. Now it’s the Department of Canadian Heritage. A message from the minister in the program announces that this year’s Winterlude will be highlighting the 100th anniversary of the First World War, not exactly a fun time, and the 150th anniversary of the Charlottetown and Quebec Conferences.

A Winterlude celebration of constitutional conferences: there’s an ice sculpture challenge for you. And there’s maybe another reason to rush home and turn on the tube.

And there, back at the Olympics, we will notice how the politicians, the broadcasters and the sports bureaucrats always fi nd a way to get in the way of the athletes. To that, we can now add the security services. Occasion-ally the cheerleading will be interrupted by traditional laments for the demise of the purity of sport. This will give us the opportunity to remember that sports must, at one time, have been pure, and try to think what that would have looked like.

Before the bureaucrats, the corporations, the broadcasters, the politicians, the security ser-vices and drug testers got in the way, Olympic sport was about the individual athlete. It was

not about the individual athlete’s nationality. But then countries began keeping score and all of a sudden nationalism was added to the Olympic movement’s many problems.

Canadians, of course, are among the worst offenders. When our hockey teams are on the ice, nothing can keep us from cheering on our country, not even a Winterlude celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Charlottetown Conference.

We know that this isn’t really what the Olympics is supposed to be about, but we can’t help ourselves. Maybe we should get out of the house more. Except that it’s winter.

DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS / AMENDMENTS UNDER THE PLANNING ACTNOTICE OF PLANNING COMMITTEE MEETING

Tuesday, February 11, 2014 – 9:30 a.m.

There’s nothing like February to get all you anxious, depressed people

thinking about something even more depressing – tax fi ling.

But if you’re the type who likes to wait until that April 30 deadline, don’t. A little bit of upfront preparation will save you a lot of stress and anxiety down the road.

The fi rst place to start is by looking at your assessment from last year because the deadline to make tax-shelter-ing contributions to registered retirement savings plans is March 3.

If you fi nd yourself in a 46 per cent tax bracket, it’s best to make the maximum contri-bution possible, even if that means taking out an RRSP loan. But what if you’re in a low income tax bracket? If you’ve got the money to save right now, it may still worth making the contribution, says Ottawa Money Coach Judith Cane.

“Let’s say you have money to contribute, and you don’t make that much money, but you know your income will be higher in fi ve years or so,” says Cane with Money Coaches Canada. “You can make the contribution now, but save the tax shelter and use it for a later tax year when you’re making more money.”

If you’re consistently low-income says Cane, RRSPs may not be your best savings option, but it’s a good idea to talk to a money coach or a fi nancial adviser about other investment options like tax-free savings accounts so that you have some money grow-ing for retirement.

For people who aren’t already making automatic

weekly or monthly RRSP contributions, February is also a good time to set this up.

“If you’re one of these people that wait until the end of the year to do your RRSP contribution and you fi nd yourself taking out a loan every year to do this, it may give you fewer headaches to have those regular con-tributions come out of your account with your biweekly paycheque,” says Cane.

If you have more money to contribute this year, based on a salary or infl ation increase, and you’re already having those regular contributions come out, February can be a great time to up the amount you’re putting into your RRSP, even if it’s just a few dollars per week.

Beyond RRSPs, Cane says people need to work on gath-ering receipts for anything that may give them some tax credit or relief.

“You can get a tax credit for using public transit,” says Cane. “But the most common question clients get from Canada Revenue Agency is, ‘where are the receipts?’”

If you’re a regular OC Transpo user, now’s the time to start looking through old handbags, shoeboxes, wher-ever you typically keep those receipts and get them all in one place.

If you have medical ex-

penses that aren’t otherwise covered by insurance, you can get some credit for those as well.

And you may not realize – I didn’t – that you get a bigger tax deduction for charitable contributions in excess of $200 per year.

“If you have over $200 in donations, then you jump to a 44-per cent tax savings,” says Cane. “A lot of people don’t realize you can accumulate the receipts and save them over a number of years. For married couples, they can be attributed to the highest income earner.”

Families have a few more write-offs: children’s sports and arts programs (even summer camps), along with childcare receipts, can help you save some coin come tax time. But fi nd those receipts.

If you’re like me and you own a small, unincorporated business, there are a lot more options – writing off portions of property tax, home and car insurance, and household bills.

But Cane has some fi rm advice for home business owners like us.

“Keep everything for your personal and business sepa-rate, bank accounts too,” she says. “It’s a lot easier if you ever get audited, but it’s also the only way to know whether or not your business is actu-ally making money.”

Are you worried about a senior in your community?As the manager of RBC’s Carlingwood branch, Sue Danahy has regular contact with many older clients. For many seniors who visit the branch, a bank teller may be the only person they see during their day. That is why Sue knows it’s important to help link her clients to the services and supports they may need to stay safe and independent in their homes. Recently, the staff at RBC Carlingwood took part in a 30-minute Lunch and Learn training session with Ottawa Public Health’s Community Connect program.

The Community Connect program helps seniors in declining health or living conditions to access services in the community. There are currently more than 10,000 older adults in Ottawa who are isolated and have little support from family or friends to act on their behalf. Approximately one quarter of older

adults in Ottawa live alone and want to remain in their own homes for as long as they can.

Ottawa Public Health (OPH) offers free training to businesses, community groups or volunteers who have regular contact with older adults. Employees of businesses such as hair salons, banks and grocery stores are trained to spot signs of isolation in seniors and how to connect them to community supports and services. Since the spring of 2013, OPH has trained more than 2,300 people in 70 organizations and businesses.

Thanks to the Community Connect program, the staff of RBC Carlingwood can identify if an older adult needs support. Public health nurses provide assessment and referral services for older adults to connect them with the support they may need.

To help seniors you know stay safe and independent, remember to:

• Look for a change in their health or well-being, like a change in how they act

• Listen and ask questions like, “How do you spend your day?”

• Connect with a nurse at Ottawa Public Health

To learn more about the Community Connect program and how you can help someone in need, call Ottawa Public Health at 613-580-6744 (TTY: 613-580-9656) or visit us online at ottawa.ca/health

News - Presentations made to the planning committee on a proposed four-storey apartment building in Old Ottawa East exposed a deeply divided neighbourhood.

More than a dozen speakers came out to the committee’s meeting on Jan. 28 both in support of and oppo-sition to a proposed eight-unit build-ing to be erected at 99 Greenfi eld Ave. – the site of the former legion branch.

The proposal was approved by the committee in the end, with dissent from Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri, but not before residents aired griev-ances with each other.

Even some residents from King’s Landing, a neighbouring complex that almost surrounds the unusually shaped legion lot, were strongly in support of the proposal, while others were bitterly against it.

“I strongly support the develop-ment as it’s proposed,” said Dr. Jim Lunney, who lives nearby on Echo Drive. He said the building, which is intended to be accessible, would be a perfect place for aging residents to move to if they wanted to stay in the community as they downsize.

Kathleen Lundgren said a sug-gestion that the new building would “ruin” the privacy of King’s Landing

residents is preposterous.She and several other delegates

from King’s Landing complained that their interests were inaccurately represented at a prior meeting of the city’s fi nance and economic develop-ment committee, when the commit-tee agreed to close an unused road allowance and sell it to the legion

property’s owner to increase the size of the lot.

“Everyone who wanted to be part of this could have and was,” said Capital Coun. David Chernushenko, who represents the area.

The presentations dumbfounded Coun. Peter Hume, chairman of the planning committee.

“We’re not used to having people come in support of applications, so we’re a little slack jawed,” he said.

Other presentations were more in line with the statements the planning committee is used to hearing.

“If this is not the defi nition of overdevelopment, I am not sure what is,” said David Tappin.

“This, once again, is another ex-ample of spot zoning,” said John Dance, president of the Old Ottawa East Community Association.

Dance said the raft of variances needed for the project to go ahead prove that it doesn’t meet the objec-tives of the city’s plans for the area.

The variances are necessary due to the awkward, wedge shape of the lot, said Katherine Grachuta, a planner from FoTenn working on behalf of the developer.

The variances would actually pro-vide more privacy for neighbouring residents by allowing balconies to be offset from King’s Landing units, she said.

Anthony Bruni, the project’s ar-chitect, said he approached the de-sign from how to best use the wedge of land.

“This does not seem to be as tightly squeezed as some of the other buildings in the area. It seems to fl oat quite well,” he said. “I think it’s im-portant that it fi ts in but stands on its own and engages the public realm.”

Dance pointed out that the lot is 14 per cent too small to allow a 14.5-metre-tall building. But planning manager John Smit said the prop-erty has always carried the rights to a building that tall because it has R4 residential high-density zoning.

The building will provide eight parking spaces in its garage.

News -There is no need to head to the hills this weekend -- the ski hills are coming to the heart of the Glebe.

The Glebe Business Im-provement Area and the Car-leton University Ski and Snow-board Club will host the sec-ond annual Ski and Snowboard Rail Jam competition on Feb. 8. The event invites avid skiers

or snowboarders to compete or, for those more comfortable in the stands, spectators to see an impressive array of tricks.

Executive director of the BIA, Andrew Peck, said the event garnered rave reviews last year, so the organization decided to host it again.

There will also be lessons from snowboarding coaching company the Akademy, who will have demo snowboards and skis available for children.

The event is free for specta-tors and it’s $20 to register for the competition.

The coaching sessions will cost $15.

Free hot beverages will be offered by David’s Tea.

Registration begins at 9 a.m., lessons begin at 10:30 a.m. and the contest starts at 1 p.m.

For more information about the event, please call the BIA at 613-680-8506 or email [email protected].

Glebe BIA to host Winterlude event


News - Ottawa South Community Association has disbanded its OSWatch com-mittee in an effort to make sure development and traffi c issues in Old Ottawa South each get the attention they deserve.

The decision, said presi-dent Linda Hancock, was

made in part to help tackle every development, zoning, traffi c and safety issue and concern properly.

“It seemed like the OS-Watch meetings began to take a different approach and traf-fi c was taking a lot of the time because of Lansdowne Park,” Hancock said. “It made more sense to have people who are interested in zoning working on zoning and people inter-

ested in traffi c working on traffi c.”

Now instead of separating time between reacting to a fl ood of development appli-cations as they come in and responding to traffi c issues and studies, the association voted to make the two sepa-rate, leading to the creation of a development and zoning committee and a traffi c and safety committee.

“We are looking to be more proactive for both ar-eas,” Hancock said.

According to Hancock, both are looking for volun-teers to head up each com-mittee and members to help manage community concerns and issues as they come for-ward.

For more information about the committees or to volunteer, email Hancock at [email protected] or visit the website at oldottawasouth.ca.

“Thinsulate lining” for extra warmth!

Adam [email protected]

News - The rising hydro rate is just another jobs killer, says PC party leader Tim Hudak, and it’s already affecting small businesses, like the Electric and Plumbing Store in Bells Corners.

Hudak discussed rising energy costs at a media address at the store on Jan. 24, which is owned by the Bells Corners BIA Chair, Jim Sourges.

A letter, circulated by the Bells Corners BIA about the rise in hydro rates, is what originally attracted the party leader’s attention. But Hudak was quick to include the issue of hydro rates with his “Million Jobs Plan.”

“Our taxes are too high; our energy rates are going through the roof. I’ve got a comprehensive plan to turn that around,” said Hudak.

The plan is to create a million jobs within eight years. That would require creating 40,000 more new jobs each year than Ontario creates in an aver-age year.

However, Hudak was cagey on ex-actly how he would accomplish this. But it was clear he sees rising hydro rates as the enemy.

After several questions asking how he might generate a million jobs, Hu-

dak explained, “I just believe that if you get a province that spends within its means, that balances its budget, gets energy under control and taxes down, we are going to say ‘We are open for business’ and hire people again.”

While he admits the goal is ambi-tious, he said he’s helped do it before. The PC’s last government brought 1.1 million new jobs to Ontario between 1995 and 2003, said Hudak.

However, whether or not Hudak can deliver was of no concern to Sourges. The point of the visit was addressing rising hydro rates, he said.

“I think that small business is an important part of our community, and I was quite happy that hydro rates were being addressed at a very high level and the fact that it happened on my site was great.”

Though the Million Jobs Plan pitch came as a surprise to Sourges, he said the hydro rate issue is a growing con-cern.

The problem is the global adjust-ment payment tacked onto hydro bills, he said.

“There was a time when the global adjustment was about half of the cost of the actual hydro,” he said.

“Over the last six to eight months, it’s been double the cost of hydro.”

Because his store deals in electrical and lighting, it is hit even harder by hydro rate increases. And while fami-lies can ration their energy usage by being aware of peak time rates, that’s not an option for businesses.

“I can’t just shut the lights off, be-cause that’s what people are here to buy,” said Sourges.

Right now, the hydro bill for Sourges’ building is about $10,000 a month.

“That’s already now about $1,500 a month more than it was even six to eight months ago,” he said.

Hydro rates are expected to con-tinue to rise almost 50 per cent in the next three years. Sourges worries that the rise could ruin his business.

“The problem is that now that you can buy things on the Internet, people with warehouses who have the lights shut off and only one guy working now have an advantage over us.

“So we are talking about the 40 people I employ between my two stores. That’s being put in jeopardy when we are talking about increas-ing my hydro rate by potentially 40, 50 per cent over a relatively short pe-riod.”

Right now, Sourges said he is able to match online prices, but with con-tinued increases, that could change.

“If we get to that point where (pow-er bills are) 50 and 60 per cent higher than now, then it will affect the actual viability of the business.”

These are just some of the concerns that were voiced at a round-table dis-cussion with area BIA’s, Hudak and Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod before the media address.

Changes in Ontario energy are not all bad though, said Sourges.

He said he likes the government’s move to clean energy, but the problem for him is not a moral one, but an eco-nomic one: “The idea is a good one and a legitimate one. The problem is that you can go bankrupt on your ide-als.”

News - As anyone who’s been through the experience knows, the challenges of college and university can bring with it a lot of stress.

The Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre launched a new wellness app on Jan. 30 designed to combat the stresses that can lead to poor mental health. The Healthy Minds app was funded by Do It for Daron, tested by students, and will be introduced to post-secondary campuses across Canada through the Royal’s partners.

The Association of Canadian Com-munity Colleges and the Association of Universities and Colleges of Cana-da will take the lead on national pro-motion, with campus introductions of the free downloadable app expected within the next month.

“It’s an app that sends the message that taking care of your mind is as im-portant as taking care of your body,” said Nicole Loreto, vice-president of communications and stakeholder re-lations at The Royal. “We wanted to create a tool that matched their world – their mobile world.”

Chronic or extreme stress can have very real physical and mental con-sequences, said George Weber, The Royal’s president and CEO, adding that young people often face the most stressful situations of their lives while in college or university.

“Stressful events can be a contrib-utor to mental health problems like depression or anxiety,” said Weber. “Healthy Minds is an app that will help (students) manage the stresses in their life.”

Psychiatrists and social workers at The Royal lent their medical knowl-

edge to the creation of the app.The app functions as an informa-

tion tool, allowing students to type what they are feeling stressed about, and what symptoms they are experi-encing. For each mood they are ex-periencing, the app offers suggested responses, such as stress-busting ex-ercises.

Charlotte Fulton, a student at Queen’s University who helped launch the app, said she liked the app’s calendar function – and the no-tifi cations it provided - the most, as it helped her keep on top of her sched-ule while reducing stress.

Shawn Dearn, spokesman the As-sociation of Canadian Community Colleges, said “for too long mental health has been something feel em-barrassed to talk about,” adding he would be sharing the app with all of the organization’s member institu-tions in the coming few weeks.

Paul Davidson, president and CEO of the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada, said the app is very much needed, given that studies have shown one in three post-second-ary students will be affected by men-tal health issues.

“It’s important that students are empowered with the resources that help them be well, wherever they are,” said Davidson. “Tremendous things are going to happen because of this app.”

The Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada’s member institutions will be seeing the app formally introduced in the coming weeks as well.

Available at the Apple Store, the app works on all iPhones, iPads and iPods, with an Android device ver-sion expected to launch in February.

Singing in remembranceMembers of Atlantic Voices perform at Centretown United Church on Jan. 26. The choir members were performing in memory of a late choir member, Michael Bleakney, who was killed in a collision between an OC Transpo bus and a VIA Rail train in Barrhaven last fall.

Lifestyle - This traditional chicken and rice dish gets its colour and characteristic fl avour from browning the chicken in caramelized sugar. Serve with a creamy coleslaw to complete the island meal.

Preparation time: 20 min-utes. Marinating time: at least 15 minutes. Cooking time: 45 to 50 minutes. Serves four.

INGREDIENTS

• 8 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin

removed

• 15 ml (1 tbsp) chopped fresh

thyme or 5 ml (1 tsp) dried

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 5 ml (1 tsp) salt

• 2 ml (1/2 tsp) pepper

• 25 ml (2 tbsp) vegetable oil

• 25 ml (2 tbsp) packed brown

sugar

• 1 large onion, sliced

• 500 ml (2 cups) sodium-reduced

chicken broth

• 2 carrots, peeled and thickly

sliced diagonally

• 250 ml (1 cup) long-grain rice

• 25 ml (2 tbsp) tomato paste

• 1 can (425 ml/15 oz) green pigeon

peas, drained and rinsed

• 2 ml (1/2 tsp) hot sauce (optional)

PREPARATION

In a large bowl, combine the chicken, thyme, garlic, salt and pepper to coat. Let the chicken stand at room temperature for 15 minutes or for up to four hours in the refrigerator.

In a deep, large, heavy-bot-tomed saucepan, heat the oil

over medium heat until it’s hot. Add the sugar evenly in centre of the oil and cook un-til it’s bubbly, frothy and dark caramel in colour around the edges – about two to three minutes.

Immediately add the chick-en and stir constantly with wooden spoon until coated. Brown the chicken for about three minutes. Add the onion and 50 ml (1/4 cup) of the broth; cover and cook for fi ve minutes, stirring occasionally.

Stir in the carrots, rice and tomato paste then add the re-maining broth, peas and hot sauce if you’re using it. Bring the mixture to boil, and then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes or until the rice is tender and most of the liq-uid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand for about 10 minutes before serving.

Note: Pigeon peas are avail-able in the international sec-tion of the supermarket. Pinto beans can be substituted.

News - With the western segment of the city’s LRT plan not yet set in stone, frus-tration was in the air during a Jan. 22 meeting between the city and NCC board mem-bers.

The city wants to use a narrow portion of the federal land that contains the John A. Macdonald Parkway to bring the LRT line from Dominion Station to the future Cleary Station near Richmond Road, a decision that has raised past objections from the NCC. The federal body claims the use of a 1.2-kilometer stretch of its land (near the inner border) for a partially buried transit line would impede access to the riverfront and spoil views.

The city wants the budget for segment between Tun-ney’s Pasture and Baseline Station to remain under $1 billion, with the cost cur-rently standing at $980,000 following alterations to an earlier plan that saw a larger portion of the stretch placed below grade.

Deputy City Manager Nancy Shepers spoke on be-half of the city, but the NCC members quickly discovered they wouldn’t be getting all the information they hoped for.

Specifi cally, what the cost would be for burying the en-tire length of the 1.2-kilome-ter stretch west of Dominion station.

Shepers didn’t have that number, stating that an envi-ronmental assessment for the corridor was ongoing. The city, she said, is also look-ing at combining the Domin-ion-Baseline project with the Pinecrest-to-Bayshore LRT leg identifi ed in its 2013 Transportation Master Plan (which was passed last No-vember).

The stretch to Bayshore

is meant to eliminate OC Transpo buses on the Queen-sway, and would cost $396 million.

Board member Kay Stan-ley called this move a form of ‘bait and switch’ – a “ploy to gain something favourable” by drawing attention else-where.

“We were dealing with apples before, and now we’re dealing with apples and or-anges,” said Stanley, adding that the architects of the pro-

vincial environmental assess-ment might not be well versed in the federal laws that apply to the land in question.

“This is not new - the only section that’s new is the ex-tension out to Bayshore,” replied Shepers, adding that modifi cations to the plan for the Lincoln Fields transfer station were made to mini-mize impacts to the corridor.

“WE believe that by work-ing with the NCC we can respect the (funding) en-

veloper…it’s going to be a challenge and we’re going to have to be resourceful.”

Shepers said the city’s goal for the project was to mini-mize impacts on the land-scape and the experience of transit users.

Board member Jason Sordi attempted to tone down some of the frustration in the room by highlighting what he saw as positives.

“In spite of all the issues raised, there’s a lot of good

stuff here,” said Sordi. “May-be it’s not coming across, as we appreciate how the city is trying to meet us halfway.”

Sordi proposed holding regular meetings – “touch points” – as both the city and NCC wait for the results of the EA process.

Board member Robert Ten-nant agreed that both parties need to hear from both sides of the issue, and on a more frequent basis, especially if it becomes clear “a change in

direction is needed.”Before ending the meet-

ing, NCC board chair Rus-sell Mills proposed creating a motion to add to the list of requests the NCC has already asked of the city in regards to the project.

The motion calls on the city to share with the NCC all details regarding LRT corridor impacts and the mitigation measures pro-posed by the city to offset the impacts.

City, NCC agree on more info-sharing during board meeting

Continued from page 1

Three levels of govern-ment are complicated enough already, the mayor said, with-out the added “intrusion” of another agency on long-term city-building initiatives.

Other municipalities don’t have to deal with another agency “meddling” in their affairs, the letter states, and in most cases, the federal govern-ment and its agencies appear to facilitate and expedite local improvements to refl ect deci-sions made by local represen-tatives.

The letter also states that the NCC’s “micromanagement and second guessing” of the

city’s long-term plans, particu-larly for light rail, are incon-sistent with the commission’s duty to assist in the region’s long-term development.

“We ask the Prime Min-ister, is this really what the NCC should be focused on?” Watson said. “We don’t need a fourth level of government.”

The day after the mayors’ press conference, NCC chair-man Russell Mills fi red back that it’s important for the agency to balance local inter-ests with national interests.

“We are accountable to Ca-nadians, as we should be,” he said. “Anything that would undermine the role of the NCC is unlikely to produce better

results. We need to retain that authority to stop bad ideas for federal land like a railroad along the riverfront.”

The NCC only has jurisdic-tion over about 10 per cent of the land in the capital region, Mills said.

He added that confl ict be-tween local politicians and the NCC is “just on the surface” and the agency has a deep working relationship with city staff.

Adding local politicians to the NCC’s board of directors would be a fi rst step to making the commission more account-able and representative of the area it serves, Watson said. He suggested the two mayors

would be a natural fi t to sit on the NCC’s board.

“I think it would help the NCC,” he said. “I think they would be given greater cred-ibility by having the elected representatives from the two cities to sit on the board and share information and act as a much more formal liaison than what we have now.”

Increasing the number of lo-cal representatives on the com-mission’s board would make it more accountable, Watson said. Currently, the 14-member board is required to have a ma-jority of eight members from outside the capital region.

“I don’t believe that a visitor from the Northwest Territories or New Brunswick who sits on the board should cast the de-ciding vote on an important lo-cal, municipal issue,” he said.

Local representation on federal boards is the norm on airport and port authorities. Ottawa deserves that same treatment, the mayor said.

Ottawa West-Nepean MP John Baird, the minister in charge of the NCC, was un-aware of the proposed letter to the Prime Minister before the two mayors held a news conference on Jan. 29. Watson

said he told board the mayors would be meeting to discuss issues, including the NCC.

Rick Roth, a spokesman for Baird, said previous govern-ments have dismissed the idea of adding local representation to the commission’s board.

“I think the fact the Prime Minister has had a local minis-ter responsible these last eight years is an enhancement,” he wrote in an email, noting the commission has a “pan-Cana-dian mandate.”

Watson said he and Ped-neaud-Jobin also discussed other common interests and

concerns, including: jobs and economic development, tour-ism, transportation and public transit and the Canada’s 150th anniversary celebrations in 2017.

Both mayors agreed to work on the new pedestrian/cy-cling bridge connecting their two cities at the old Prince of Wales rail bridge, which was proposed in the city’s trans-portation master plan update last fall. Co-ordinating on Domtar’s proposed redevelop-ment of the Chaudière Islands will also be a priority, Watson said.

As far as Father was concerned, he was the only one who knew how to

properly cook sauerkraut.He said, getting a dig in

at Mother about her heritage which was far removed from his German ancestry, you had to have good German blood running in your veins to turn out edible sauerkraut. I had no idea what blood had to do with it, but I had to admit I liked Father’s sauer-kraut better than Mother’s.

It all came from the same barrel, but whatever Father did, when it was ready we all ate it with great gusto. That is, all except my cousin Ronny who visited regularly from Montreal. He hated sauerkraut regardless who cooked it, and he took to hid-ing it all through the house, even prying off a bedroom baseboard one time to stash it away. But for the rest of us, when Father worked his magic at the Findlay Oval, there wasn’t a scrap left over for another meal.

After the barrel of shred-ded cabbage had been allowed to sit in the hot kitchen until it was well fer-mented, the barrel was rolled out to the summer kitchen where the innards formed into a solid mass of ice.

For reasons which always escaped me, I was the one who had to go out with the granite basin and an ice pick and hack away until I had enough for a meal. When Father was doing the cook-ing, I stacked the basin high, knowing full well it would take a heap to fi ll the big iron fry pan he would be using.

It was bitterly cold in the summer kitchen, so I dressed for the elements, wearing

mitts to hold the chisel or ice pick to chip the frozen sauer-kraut, bringing it in to Father just before he was ready to pop it into the fry pan. First he would have fried (in ba-con fat, of course) a heaping mound of onions, well laced with black pepper.

I would stand well away from the stove as Father, with his bare hands would scoop up the sauerkraut, slap it into the sizzling pan, as I waited for the whole thing to explode into fl ames. Of course, it never did, but the hissing was enough to give me concern.

All the time, he would be plugging more wood into the Findlay Oval to keep the

stove roaring hot.Once the frozen sauerkraut

melted, he would stir the pan with the big wooden spoon, mixing in the fried onions.

Father never left the stove, stirring all the time, until the liquid in the pan was gone. Then he would scoop up heaping tablespoons of butter and plop that on top of the sauerkraut. It too would have to be worked in, until all that was left were the fried onions and sauerkraut which by then had turned a golden brown.

He would shift the big iron fry pan to the back of the stove, on top of the reser-voir, and say, “alright, bring your plates,” and we’d line up at the stove while father dished out his special dish. There would be more butter on the table, right beside the spoon holder, and of course, we would scoop up a goodly portion and plop it on top of the sauerkraut, and watch it melt into Father’s wonderful main dinner course.

Of course, there would

also have to be meat for this meal. No supper was ever complete without meat. Often it would be salt pork simmering on the back of the stove in another big fry pan, or Mother would have a cookie sheet of homemade sausages baking in the oven with sliced apples around them.

Father said the apples spoiled the taste of a good sausage. But Mother said if he was going to make German sauerkraut, then she would serve apples with the sausages, since that was a French custom she learned from her own mother.

And so the two nationali-ties would come together at the Findlay Oval.

Even though Mother often tried to duplicate Father’s way of frying the sauerkraut, it never quite tasted the same.

Before Mother moved to the backwoods of Renfrew County to marry a farmer of German heritage, she knew little of the foods

Father was used to. It didn’t take her long to learn how to stuff ground pork into well-washed skins, get roasts ready for the smoke house, do down a barrel of dill pickles with big cloves of garlic, and help get the cab-bage ready for the sauerkraut barrel. It took her much longer to get used to making headcheese and blood pud-ding. I would be as far away from the kitchen as I could get while both were being made, because watching the pork head, and the pan of blood being prepared, turned my stomach inside out. I drew the line over both, and often would settle for a hard-boiled egg instead, while the rest of the family ate up both with gusto.

“A lot of parks try to be a jack of all trades we are trying to focus on small scale stuff.”

To donate, the group started a website, 1squarefoot.ca to spread news about its fund-

raising plans and offer direct donation opportunities.

Plans are also underway for fundraising events this spring and summer.

“Skate parks aren’t some-thing you can just stamp out. Each park needs to be cus-

tom designed. The amount, $300,000, was almost too small – it costs so much to build a good park,” Cayer said. “So we said, ‘Look, we can make this going from medio-cre to really, really good.’ ”

According to Cayer, the

group has already raised $15,000.

He said the organization also plans to apply for the city’s major capital grant pro-gram and if approved, the city will match any money raised by the community.


The former lawn bowling lanes at McNabb Park will soon be turned into the fi rst downtown skate park.

Group needs to raise $100,000 for cause

Sports - Rachel Homan got a workout on Jan. 28 at the Ot-tawa Sports Awards, getting called up to the stage several times for some big awards.

Homan, originally from Orléans and living in Kanata, took home the top female athlete of the year honours, and the curling award. Then, joined by teammates Emma Miskew, Alison Kreviazuk, Lisa Weagle, she accepted the female team of the year awrd.

“Ottawa has always been so supportive,” said Homan. “I’m greatful to live in this city.”

It was a similar scene on the men’s side of the major awards. Basketball winner Philip Scrubb also won the male athlete of the year award, and made a second trip up to the stage along with team-mates to accept male team of the year for the Carleton Ra-

vens basketball squad. The Ravens were male team of the year for the third year in a row.

Scrubb, who hails from Vancouver, also acknowl-edged the city residents for hometown support.

“I want to thank the com-munity of Ottawa for support-ing my team,” he said. “And (thank) my team for pushing me on and off the court and making me a better person.”

Cheyanne Farquharson, from the Rideau Canoe Club - currently spending the win-ter coaching in New Zealand – took home coach of the year.

The Rideau Canoe Club had many athletes at the award, as did the Ottawa Lions, who cheered on Nepean’s Glenroy Gilbert in winning male coach of the year. Gilbert coaches the men’s national 4-by-100-metre relay team.

The Mayor’s Cup for out-standing contribution in sport

went to Ed Laverty from the Ottawa Nepean Touch Foot-ball League.

The lead coach for the na-tional Paralympic track and fi eld team, Hugh Conlin, won the Brian Kilrea Life-time Achievement Coaching Award. Because of the strong program with the Ottawa Li-ons, many Paralympic athletes have moved to Ottawa to train

with the club and Conlin.The Mark Lowry Memorial

Award for lifetime achieve-ment for a sports volunteer or administrator went to John Smith from the Bel-Air Co-peland Lions and Norsemen Football Club.

And Lee MacKay, a teach-er at St. Paul Catholic High School, won the lifetime achievement award for techni-

cal offi cial for his work coach-ing and offi ciating wrestling.

Two local organizations received $500 at the sports awards: Ottawa Street Soccer and the Crystal Bay Centre for Special Education.

Besides the major awards, all teams and athletes who won provincial or national titles were honoured on stage. A winner was chosen for ev-

ery sport played in the city as well.

“Thank you all,” said May-or Jim Watson, addressing the athletes, coaches, support staff, families and parents in the audience. “You are the heart and soul of amateur ath-letes in the city.”

A full list of award winners can be found at www.ottawas-portsawards.ca.

Hi, my name is snoopy. I am a husky mix. My birthday is November 24th, I was born in 2012 and was a valentines day

present. My favorite things to do are play in the snow and catch snowballs, long walks and of course chase the cats around the

house. You can always find me playing outdoors.

Pet Adoptions

Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly! To learn more about adopting an animal from the Ottawa Humane Society please contact us: Website: Email: Telephone:

Bart is a happy little dog looking for a retirement home. This ten-year-old Pekingese mix would prefer to be the only dog in the home – he is so sweet and affectionate that he will fill your home with love all on his own! Bart loves people and is always pleased to be by your side. He graciously accepts affection and will give you a little nudge to remind

you he’s there, though he is very laid-back and not at all demanding. Bart would be suitable to a home with kids ages five and older. He would prefer to live in a detached home. Bart is a special needs adoption because he has elevated liver enzymes. Mildly elevated liver enzymes are fairly common in older dogs and may or may not be significant. You will need

to discuss this condition with your veterinarian.

Meet Comet (ID# A070935), a sweet seven-year-old male cat who is hoping to spend the chilly February nights curled up in his new forever home. He’s a gentle kitty who loves getting pet but also likes his alone time. Comet enjoys hunting bugs and scratching on his scratching post.

Comet is a special needs adoption because he has been diagnosed with a heart murmur. Many animals (and humans) with heart murmurs go on to live happy and healthy normal lives! Comet’s condition will warrant discussion with your veterinarian and together you will decide how to manage it best.

To meet Bart, Comet and all the other animals available for adoption, visit the Ottawa Humane Society at 245 West Hunt Club Rd. or view the animals online at ottawahumane.ca.

Second chance at love Some of these single pets have

spent too much time at the OHS waiting for that forever home, watching families pass them over for younger versions of themselves – a kitten, a puppy. But these older pets aren’t jaded. They’re hopeful that February will be their month, that it will finally be their turn at a forever friend. Could one of these dogs or cats be the right match for you?

Bart is keeping his paws crossed that you’ll stop by to say “hi.” He’s a happy-go-lucky sort of guy who wants to spend his golden years going for long walks in the neighbourhood

with you. He has tan-coloured fur, big brown eyes and is 10 years young.

Comet would like nothing more than to spend cozy evenings curled up on the couch with some snacks (tuna treats, please) and a good movie. He’s a gentle fellow who will happily listen as you recount all the details of your day, occasionally chiming in with a “meow.” He’s a middle-aged guy looking for a lifetime commitment.

There are many animals like Bart and Comet at the OHS. To help these pets find that special match in the month of love, we’re giving adopters even more reason to take a second

look at our mature cats and dogs: adopters who bring home a cat or dog aged five and older in February will be entered to win a gift certificate from Supply and Demand, voted one of Canada’s top restaurants by enRoute magazine.

Qualifying adopters will also take home some heart-shaped pet treats and get 20 per cent off at the OHS Buddy and Belle Boutique on the day they adopt, excluding food. Adopt a featured animal and get a pet bed for dogs or carrier for cats and a heart-shaped toy. Information about the featured pet is available at the OHS.

BUYER BEWARE: 13 Extra Costs to be

Aware of Before Buying a HomeOttawa & Area - Whether you're looking to buy

your first home, or trading up to a larger one, there are many costs - on top of the purchase price - that you must figure into your calculation of affordability. These extra fees, such as taxes and other additional costs, could surprise you with an unwanted financial nightmare on closing day if you're not informed and prepared.

Some of these costs are one-time fixed payments, while others represent an ongoing monthly or yearly commitment. While not all of these costs will apply in every situation, it's better to know about them ahead of time so you can budget properly.

Remember, buying a home is a major milestone, and whether it's your first, second or tenth, there are many small but important details, not to mention

stress and excitement, to deal with during the process. The last thing you need are unbudgeted financial obligations in the hours before you take possession of your new home.

To help homebuyers understand what these extra costs are, and in what situations they may apply, a free industry report has been prepared called "13 Extra Costs to Be Aware of Before Buying a Home."

To order a FREE Special Report, visit www.OttawaFreeHomeInfo.com or to hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report call toll-free 1-800-217-1897and enter 2008. You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Sports – While his fellow students at St. Pius X High School are deep into exams, this week will see 17-year-old Ben Delaney fl y to Calgary to train in advance of the 2014 Paralympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia.

The Grade 12 student, who lost a lower leg to bone can-cer at age 12, is the youngest member of the Canadian Para-lympic sledge hockey team. Playing forward, Delaney’s thirst for competition saw him transition to sledge hockey four years ago, after years of playing hockey before his or-deal with cancer.

Delaney got the phone call he had been waiting for on Jan. 15, but had to keep quiet to friends and classmates un-til the offi cial roster was an-nounced by Team Canada the following weekend.

“It was a huge relief,” he

said. “This has been a big goal of mine – the biggest part of my life for the past four years. I’m super pumped.”

Delaney has been busy as of late. During his fi rst season with Canada’s national team in 2013, Delaney helped the team net gold at the World Sledge Hockey Championship and the Four Nations Tourna-ment in Sochi. He had joined the national development team in 2012.

Following his surgery, Del-

aney said he had planned to start skating again, but felt the need for a new direction.

“To go from being pretty speedy on the ice to starting all over … I wanted to try some-thing new,” said Delaney. That led him to try sledge hockey and he has never looked back.

“I loved it – I loved it more than when I played stand-up.”

The more complex nature of sledge hockey was what he liked most.

“It’s a little more tricky – a

little more complicated, and more physical, in my opinion,” said Delaney. “I liked the chal-lenge.”

Being the youngest on the team, Delaney said he has spent a lot of time at the gym to help compete alongside – and against – older, larger

players. On-ice training took up much of the remainder of his free time.

Training for the Paralym-pics while juggling a full course load in his fi nal year of high school has been another challenge, but Delaney said his teachers at Pius X have been

very understanding, allowing him to defer his January exams while he is away training.

The big trip begins on Feb. 27, when he and his teammates leave for Sochi. Delaney said the plan is to have his parents and sister follow him there for support.

Rideau River ice breaking begins February 10, 2014

Rideau River flood control operations begin the week of February 10th with the cutting of the keys, weather permitting. Ice breaking operations, including blasting, are set to begin the week of March 1st, weather and ice conditions permitting, on the Rideau River between Rideau Falls and Hog’s Back.

A Reminder to Parents and TeachersIce breaking operations will create open water.

Children should be supervised at all times around water and should be warned of the dangers of open water.

The City, in partnership with the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, undertakes ice breaking operations each year to alleviate possible spring flooding in flood-prone areas. Once started, these operations will be carried out daily, weather and ice conditions permitting.

All residents are asked to keep away from the river until operations are completed.

Sports - Karen Butcher has spent her life on or around rinks.

Butcher, who hails from Greely, started skating com-petitively with the Nepean Skating Club as a teen and got on a plane headed for So-chi Feb. 3 to be a judge in the 2014 winter Olympics.

“When I was a teen my dad thought it would be a good idea for my sister and me to volunteer as amateur coach-es,” Butcher said. “Many years later – after many more exams – I was promoted…and qualifi ed to be a world judge.”

Butcher said the qualifi ca-tion process has many steps. She is one of the 15 to 20 Canadians qualifi ed to judge at the Olympic level. The ex-ams, which are administered by the International Skating Union, are held once a year in Oberstdorf, Germany.

In September during the Olympic trials, countries drew for the right to be able

to send judges. Canada was able to send someone to judge dance, pairs, team event and ladies, but not men’s.

The team event is making its debut at this year’s Olym-pics. In the opening round, one skater per country does a short program in each of the four disciplines: men’s, wom-en’s, pairs and ice dance. The top fi ve countries then move on to the medal round, where skaters do a long program in the four events. Countries can make up to two roster chang-es between rounds.

Butcher said Canada’s team ranked second at the ISU event in Tokyo earlier this year.

“I think we are in a good position to win gold,” Butch-er said.

Butcher said while she feels pride for Canada, there’s no temptation to weigh the scales in the nation’s favour.

“After the scandal in Salt Lake City, the rules about judging fi gure skating have become much stricter,” she said referring to the con-troversy over Russia’s gold

in 2002. “Obviously I hope Canada does well, but at the end it comes down to what they do on the ice.”

Butcher said judging has both objective and subjective marks. There are the techni-cal points for common jumps like a double axel.

“Every skater can do a double axel, so they would get a mark for that, but then there’s marks for the way they execute it, which can be more subjective,” she said.

Program scores would include things like transi-tions between jumps and in-teraction with the audience, Butcher said.

Butcher said the Olympic organizing committee pays for her meals, travel and ac-commodation, but she will take a leave from her job at the Canada Revenue Agency to travel to Russia.

“All judges are volunteers,” she said.

While Butcher hung up her skates years ago, she said she will continue to judge be-cause it keeps her connected to a sport she loves.
