EMC news - A group of young, imaginative minds would like to welcome other youthful urbanites to go for a walk around Sandy Hill this weekend.

Jane’s Walk is set to take place all over the city on May 4 and 5, and in Sandy Hill a trio of eight-year-old tour guides will be leading the way.

“This is a chance to see the neighbourhood through the eyes of a child,” said Sandra MacPherson, a co-ordinator for Ottawa’s Jane’s Walk.

This children’s walk will be the fi rst of its kind for the Ot-tawa Jane’s Walk. MacPher-son said she came up with the idea to present a walk where anything goes, imagination is welcome and inquiring minds are encouraged.

“This walk is about the sim-

pler things that most of us just walk by and don’t see,” she said. “To me all rocks kind of look the same, but kids see the detail, and they say, ‘No, this rock is different.’ ... It makes you realize that there is com-plexity in nature that is fasci-nating and to me that is what Jane’s Walk is all about.”

The annual event takes place in cities all over the world and is named after writer and ur-ban activist Jane Jacobs. The walks are typically held on the fi rst weekend of May to coin-cide with Jacobs’s birthday.

The walks are led by volun-teers and, like the walk that is taking place in Sandy Hill, can focus on just about anything.

The mother of one of the eight-year-old tour guides and a PhD student studying the impact of urban literature, MacPherson said she wanted to create a walk that included young children and promoted urban living. With that idea in mind, she approached her daughter’s daycare, Bettye Hyde, for support.

EMC news - Despite ex-pressions of anger and regret over a secret deal struck be-tween a group of developers and the Centretown commu-nity association, the mood at an April 23 community de-sign plan meeting was civil.

The Centretown Citi-zens Community Asso-ciation called the 11th-hour meeting to seek public com-ment on the deal struck by its board.

The choice put to com-munity members basically boiled down to whether people favoured the com-munity design plan support-ed by city staff or the deal reached between a group of developers and the Cen-tretown community associa-tion’s board.

Reasoned arguments were made on both sides, with community association plan-ning committee member Debby Hanscom lamenting the negotiations that even she was left out of, and commu-nity association board mem-ber Brian Bourne defending the board’s deal with devel-opers.

EMC news - Hikers are pre-paring to descend on Old Otta-wa South this weekend to help a local palliative care facility continue providing support for patients and their families from across the city.

The Tracey Arnett Realty Hike for Hospice is one of the Hospice at May Court’s largest fundraisers and this year orga-nizers aim to raise $120,000 for the facility, funds which will go directly to patient care.

“Hospice palliative care is such an important need in our community and we need to fundraise over one third of our dollars in order to provide these key services,” said Lisa Sullivan, executive director for Ottawa Hospice Services.

She said this event along with similar one being held in Kanata on the same day, are looking to raise a total of $180,000.

The May Court hike will start at the hospice, located at 114 Cameron Ave. Participants will then walk along the streets of Old Ottawa South.

On the morning of the hike, there will be coffee, tea and

Timbits from Tim Hortons. Mayor Jim Watson, will make opening remarks before the hike and awards for the top fundraisers will be presented alongside a lunch provided by the Red Apron. A number of activities for hikers of every age will take place after the hike as well.

The hike will begin at 9 a.m. Registration is $25, which in-cludes a commemorative shirt, the food and entertainment.

Resident and hospice sup-

porter Chris Warburton partici-pated in the hike in the past and said it is a great way to bring the local community together to support a great cause.

“We look forward to seeing everyone and are truly thankful for all the support we receive,” Warburton said.

People are encouraged to gather pledges to both raise awareness and funds for hos-pice palliative care. For more information please visit hos-picemaycourt.com.

EMC news - Vanier residents voiced concerns about garbage col-lection, development, parks and safety at a recent forum hosted by the ward councillor recently.

The event, held at Assumption Catholic School, provided residents the opportunity to meet with Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury to dis-cuss issues and raise concerns about their community.

The councillor provided an update on recent city activities before invit-ing questions from those gathered at the event.

“I might not have every answer, but I will follow up with you,” Fleury said at the start of the meeting.

The Vanier Community Asso-ciation hosted the event, which saw about 40 residents attend.

Fleury presented updates on

changes to rules governing derelict properties, construction of the light-rail system, renovations at the Rideau Centre, the reconstruction of Rideau Street and the future of the ByWard Market.

Afterwards, the councillor opened up the fl oor to residents, who had a lot to say about garbage including concerns about collection, residents putting waste to the curb too early and about the number of bags homes can place for pickup. The councillor advised residents to communicate with his offi ce directly about such concerns.

One resident raised the issue of in-creased street parking on the blocks immediately east and west of Mon-treal Road.

“A lot of the parking in this city doesn’t make sense,” Fleury said. “We need to revisit the parking pol-icy, but on a small scale we can ad-dress your concerns.”

The main message the councillor wanted to convey was for residents to know his door is always open and that he and his staff are there to help.

Residents can contact the council-lor at 613-580-2482 or by email at mathieu.fl [email protected].

EMC news - The New Edin-burgh Community and Arts Cen-tre has launched a campaign to spark some creativity and raise much-needed funds into the non-profi t organization.

The centre launched its Buy a Stake campaign at the beginning of February to encourage com-munity members to get creative and design one stake for a fence at the centre that will be built in June.

“We are inviting the com-munity to make this centre their own,” said Melanie Davis, the centre’s executive director.

The cedar stakes are $50, for which the centre will issue a charitable receipt for $40.

Davis said the centre has been hosting decorating parties, where those who have purchased a stake can personalize their own piece of the fence. Otherwise, the donors can take them home to decorate or commission one of the centre’s artists to get cre-ative on their behalf.

Acrylic, oil or exterior house paint is recommended and the next decorating party is planned for May 25 from 1 to 4 p.m.

The centre is hoping to raise $15,000 from the campaign to update the facility in order to meet current building and fi re codes.

The building where the com-munity centre is currently oper-ating was purchased in Septem-ber 2011. Since the non-profi t organization moved in, the group has launched new programming for the New Edinburgh commu-nity, but the facility itself must be upgraded.

The centre must have a fi re exit on each fl oor of the three-storey building. In addition the

group aims to make the fi rst fl oor wheelchair accessible.

Davis said she decided to launch this creative fundraiser as a way to generate community involvement, raise much needed funds and add some artistic fl air to the outside of the building.

The fence will frame the prop-erty and so far it is shaping up to be a unique mix of colours, ideas, images and concepts. Davis said really, when it comes to the de-sign, it’s the artist’s choice.

“It’s a way to draw attention to the fact this is a community and art centre,” Davis said. “New Ed-

inburgh is a creative community and we felt this was a great way to show that.”

To purchase a stake in person or over the phone, Davis said to call the centre at 613-745-2742.

Purchased stakes must be re-turned by May 25, when they will be coated with sealant and then built into the fence. The complete fence will be revealed on June 1, when the centre par-ticipates in Doors Open Ottawa, with a community event in the front yard.

Helping Protect Our Community’s Most Vulnerable Seniors

-By Yasir Naqvi, MPPThe new Ontario government is helping keep seniors and people with dementia safe by ensuring their families, caregivers and the community are prepared to act in case they go missing. Currently, almost 200,000 Ontarians have dementia. This is an increase of 16 per cent over the past four years, and by 2020 close to 250,000 seniors in Ontario will be living with some form of dementia. As the number of people with dementia rises, so too does the risks associated with missing incidents. Three out of five people with dementia go missing at some point, often without warning, and 94 per cent of seniors who go missing are found within 2.5 kilometers from where they disappeared. Sadly, 50 per cent of seniors missing for 24 hours or more, risk serious injury or death from exposure to the elements, hypothermia and drowning. The risks of people going missing are greater when the community, caregivers or people with dementia themselves are unaware of the potentially severe consequences. Preparation and planning are crucial to prevent people with dementia from going missing, and to ensure they are found safely and quickly. Currently, there is a very low awareness of missing incidents in our communities and many people do not know where to seek help. This is why, with support from our government, the Alzheimer Society of Ontario is launching the new Finding Your Way Wandering Prevention Program. The first of its kind in Canada, the program will raise awareness of risks for people with dementia and enhance the community response in case they go missing. As part of the program, the Alzheimer Society of Ontario will distribute kits that include tips and resources to help families and caregivers put plans in place to prevent wandering incidents and act quickly in cases of missing seniors. They will include an identification form with space for a recent photo and physical description that can be shared with police in an emergency, at-home safety steps to help prevent wandering incidents, and tips on what to do when a person with dementia goes missing and when reuniting after a wandering incident. Kits will be offered in English and French, as well as in Cantonese, Mandarin and Punjabi. In 2014, these materials will also be offered in Italian, Spanish and Portuguese. In order to obtain contact information for any of the 38 Alzheimer Societies across Ontario, you can call Ontario 2-1-1. The Societies can provide assistance and a safety kit, which can also be downloaded from the website at www.findingyourwayontario.ca. The province is also providing support for the Ontario Police College to develop and deliver police training that incorporates wandering prevention into the police curriculum. By providing the training that helps police officers respond to cases of seniors who have wandered, we are working to protect our vulnerable seniors and keep them safe. The Wandering Prevention Program is a part of Ontario’s Action Plan for Seniors, and supports the new Ontario government’s efforts to ensure a safe and fair society for all. The strategy will help ensure that older Ontarians have access to the right care, at the right time and in the right place, a key commitment of the government’s Action Plan for Health Care. For more information, please visit www.ontario.ca/seniors, www.yasirnaqvimpp.ca, or call my Community Office at 613-722-6414.

EMC news - Carling Avenue boosters came out in force at a city meeting to discuss routes to take light rail west from Tunney’s Pasture to Baseline Station.

But running rapid rail transit down Carling Avenue is off the table, said transportation com-mittee chairman Keith Egli.

That comment was met with shouts of derision and partici-pants saw exiting the city-hall meeting.

The meeting stretched late into the evening as speakers who stood up from among a crowd of around 300 people took turns deriding the process that led to them being blindsided by the city concluding it prefers one of the 15 routes it originally began studying.

The chosen route – coined the Richmond Underground – would skirt along the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway before reaching a new, above-ground station at Cleary Avenue and then dipping underground.

The line, which wouldn’t be built for another decade, would continue under Richmond Road until just before Lincoln

Fields, where the Sir. John A. Macdonald Parkway and exist-ing Transitway meet Richmond Road.

The route was chosen as an “elegant solution” to address concerns raised by the commu-nity and National Capital Com-mission last year, including a desire to preserve the Byron Linear Park and access to green space along the parkway.

City staff struggled to explain the concept of putting a second-ary transit line on Carling in the future – something like a tram that would be slower and have more frequent stops. The route to the north would be a rapid line mainly serving commuters, although it would provide two new local stations: one at Cleary and another at New Orchard.

Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs, whose ward includes a portion of the line, said she doesn’t support a route that runs down Carling.

“I don’t want to do that to you,” she said, adding that cut-ting off communities in her ward from the benefi ts of a light-rail line would be detrimental.

Negative exclamations about a lack of political representation in response to Hobbs’ statement didn’t sway the councillor’s

sentiment, but she said there are 24 councillors who will jointly make the decision of which route to choose.

Bay Coun. Mark Taylor, whose ward would contain a large section of the western LRT extension, said he was council’s biggest Carling booster last summer – but not anymore.

“I wish they could have found a way to connect (Car-ling),” Taylor said. From both a fi nancial perspective and an engineering perspective, Car-ling isn’t a feasible route to run rapid rail.

The preferred Richmond un-derground route would cost an estimated $900 million. The Carling option would be the most expensive of all the stud-ied routes at $2.3 billion. Those numbers could all change by as much as 25 per cent by the time the rail line might actually be constructed.

“Carling compromises the overall (transit) network,” said Nancy Schepers, the deputy city manager in charge of overseeing transportation matters, adding “(it) is not a good transit solu-tion for the future of the city.”

It would mean that buses would still have to run on the parkway to serve the com-munities to the north, it would eliminate the option of extend-ing light rail over the Prince of Wales Bridge and it would force riders to have more transfers by cutting off the O-Train at Car-

ling, Schepers said.“Carling is off the table,” said

transportation committee chair-man Keith Egli.

Residents at the meeting weren’t having it.

“Does it not make sense to have the train going through the centre of gravity of the city?” said one man. “No one lives in the river.”

Others said it doesn’t make sense to ignore people to the south. One man who said he lived on Carling said he would love to have the rapid transit line run there.

Shortly after a technical briefi ng on April 22 to update councillors and the media on the preferred route, National Capital Commission chairman Russell Mills sent out a media release stating the commission is still opposed to any route that runs rail on the parkway.

The Richmond Underground as proposed would “kiss” the parkway, Schepers said. Put-ting that portion underground at Rochester Field would obvi-ously increase the cost.

What followed became a back-and-forth between Mills and Mayor Jim Watson. Mills indicated the NCC’s board was caught off guard by the city’s assertion that one op-tion has been chosen as the preferred route, while Watson maintained he had made it clear during a meeting with the NCC two weeks ago.

EMC news - The National Capital Commission has given the green light to plans that will see an update to the facade of the Rideau Centre.

Cadillac Fairview, owner of the downtown shopping centre, has pro-posed changes that will affect the facade on portions of Rideau Street, Colonel By Drive, Nicholas Street and McKenzie King Bridge.

Christopher Hoyt, the senior archi-tect overseeing the project, presented the recommendations to the NCC board at a recent meeting. The presen-tation included preliminary images of revamped Rideau Street and Mack-enzie King entrances, an updated pe-destrian bridge between the shopping centre and the Hudson’s Bay store on the opposite side of Rideau, and a new garage entrance on Nicholas Street.

The commission does not own the land, but a restrictive covenant was part of the 1981 sale to then-owners of the property, the Viking Rideau Corporation. which states any altera-tions to the exterior or new structures built are subject to the approval of the NCC. The covenant affects the facade along Rideau Street and Sussex Av-enue, Colonel By Drive, portions of Nicholas Street, portions of Macken-zie King Bridge and the rooftop ter-race near Mackenzie King Bridge.

Hoyt said signage for the building was not approved and would need to be discussed at a later meeting.

The proposed plans were well re-ceived by the NCC board and were unanimously approved. The board, however, did consider whether the roof-top terrace needed to remain as a NCC-operated property.

Fred Gaspere, director of federal approvals and environmental man-agement for the NCC, said commis-sion staff have recommended the mall owner take over responsibility for the terrace.

“I can confi rm that we would like to have a discussion with them about the entire project, including the roof-top terrace,” he said. “Absolutely we have put it to the centre.”

Board member Jason Sordi ex-pressed reservations about the current state of Rideau Street, concerned that if hoarding is placed along the street during construction, it could provide more places for people to hide or make the street more unsavory then it already is.

Board member Kay Stanley said she was intrigued by the project and felt that as the renovations move for-ward, some concerns about safety and pedestrian use Rideau Street will im-prove.

The board approved the prelimi-nary designs with the following con-ditions

• That the west elevation of the project at Colonel By Drive be devel-oped further and in accordance with upcoming NCC guidelines for nam-ing and signage and that drawings for this elevation be reviewed by the NCC for approval.

• That Cadillac Fairview provide a detailed construction schedule for the project to the NCC for review.

• That the roof terrace plans and de-tailed design be provided to the NCC for review.

OPINIONOPINION Connected to your community

There is no progress without heart-break.

Or, as they used to say on the left, you can’t make an omelet without

breaking eggs. In this respect, it’s intriguing to see how many different perspectives there can be on one project.

A guy was complaining on the radio the other day, a guy who probably doesn’t live too far from me, about the west-end LRT route that has been proposed by city planners. The route goes beside the parkway, then up to the Richmond-Byron corridor, where it tunnels underground and emerges somewhere around Lincoln Fields.

This was going to be awful, the guy said, in effect. Get ready for the lawsuits.

I didn’t catch exactly where the guy lives, but I can feel his pain. I live a few blocks from where some of the work will being done and my feelings, while less intense, are cer-tainly mixed. Which is the way it goes with projects of this magnitude.

On the one hand, looking at the big pic-ture: I’m glad that there is going to be more light rail. The city needs it. How many of us have just about stopped going downtown because parking and traffi c are so diffi cult? I can see a day when I can walk a few blocks

and hop on the train downtown. It’s hard not to like that.

On the other hand, this thing isn’t going to be complete for 10 years. How many of those years will feature noisy digging and blasting, dust and smoke, closing off of streets and general inconvenience? From where I sit, it could mean having to take a slightly differ-ent route home; from where somebody else sits – perhaps the guy on the radio – it could mean years of real discomfort.

It’s very nice that the proposed plan will save the Richmond-Byron Linear Park by tunneling under it, but fi rst that tunnel has to be made. If you’re sitting right next to it, it may be a bit harder to appreciate the joys of expanded public transit.

Similarly, if you’re on the north side of

Richmond Road and accustomed to a nice view across the parkway to the river, it may not please you to know that trains will be coming along. And if you’re used to walk-ing or biking along one of the paths beside the parkway, you may not be pleased at the thought it might disappear and be replaced by tracks.

To dismiss such concerns at NIMBYism is unfair. NIMBYism is when you object to a proposed group home on your street – or someone else’s street. Being concerned about a tunnel being dug in front of your home is something else, as is being concerned about a 19-story condo going up beside you.

Of course that’s one of the other perspec-tives on this particular transit project. Prox-imity to light rail makes an area attractive to developers, as if Richmond Road wasn’t attractive enough already. So with the light rail come more 19-story towers. The charac-ter of the neighbourhood changes – for the better, say the planners. Maybe not, say the neighbours.

Still, it could have been worse, couldn’t it? The whole linear park could have been torn up. The parkway could have been given over to light rail, making the National Capital Commission sad.

Managing change is not easy for anyone. Imagine what it must have been like to live near the Queensway as it was being built in the late ’50s and early ’60s. That would have been serious noise.

Then, just for fun, imagine what would have happened had opponents of the project won the day. Let’s see. No quick way into town from the suburbs. People who worked downtown would have to live downtown. Rapid transit would be a low priority.

And no one would be arguing today about a tunnel along Byron. Sorry if that ruined your day.

We’re not exactly digging a tunnel of love

Time for a real transit plan

COLUMN

Is a comprehensive transit plan too much for residents on both sides of the Ottawa River to ask for?

Over the past few weeks, it has become clear that we don’t have a cohesive plan to direct the expansion of public transit services in the capital region.

The National Capital Commission and the City of Ottawa are at odds on a pair of issues, namely a regional transit plan commissioned by those two organizations and the city of Gatineau and the pre-ferred route for the western branch this city’s light rail system.

For better or worse, Ottawa and Gatineau sit on opposite banks of what has long been Canada’s great divide. Despite those linguistic, cultural and political differences, people cross that divide on a regular basis to work, play or otherwise live their lives.

This means leaders of both cities and the NCC, representing the federal government, need to con-sider how transit will evolve not only in Ottawa or Gatineau, but across the whole region.

For example, the city’s transit commission chairwoman Diane Deans rejected the fi ndings of a regional plan because it didn’t align with goals for transit in Ottawa. Was this because it sought to

envision something bigger than just the needs of this city? Did it dare to think of the capital as something more than just those living on the south side of the river?

But then during discussions surrounding the western route of the LRT, maintaining the Prince of Wales Bridge as a potential interprovincial transit crossing was referenced as reason to reject using Carling Avenue for light rail. So then is regional transit planning important after all?

These questions make one wonder if the western LRT considerations are being made in isolation, or if they truly are part of a larger plan. If they are part of such a plan, what is it? Does the NCC know what those plans are? Does Gatineau?

As veterans of the eastern interprovincial bridge saga can surely attest, decision making across the provincial divide is anything but easy, but are neces-sary in order to make effective decisions about how to spend billions of dollars and that affect more than a million people.

Let’s not make decisions in isolation. Let’s keep lines of communication open. It may not be easy, but it’s the only way the cities of Ottawa and Gatineau and the NCC can deliver the kind of public transit the capital region deserves.

EDITORIAL

The other day, my boys got off the school bus. It was one of those days

where the driver had en-forced silence for the entire 20-minute trip, so they were quite chatty – talking over each other, mixing French and English. It was making my head spin. I was trying to respond to a text message from a friend.

Later that evening, after we’d done homework, had supper and taken showers, I was waiting for them to go to bed. I thought I’d check my email and Facebook ac-counts. While I was sitting in my offi ce, my eldest came in to tell me about a presenta-tion they’d had at the school – something about electricity and a pickle. I nodded and laughed distractedly when he laughed and furrowed my eyebrows to match his expression.

The next morning he asked me about the pickle. I was confused.

“I told you about it last night,” he said.

“Oh yeah,” I said. “What was that about again?”

He told me the story again. This time I got a bit more, but I was making school lunches. Wrapping deli meats can be rather focus-intensive for me. So once again I missed the point of the story. I came away with “guest presentation, funny, pickle, good thing it wasn’t a human, right?”

The sad reality is most adults these days go about their days in a state of half-presence. I would wager

mothers, in particular (sorry, fellow mothers), are so busy much of the time that we’re actually missing the moments we’ve vowed to appreciate.

In fairness, we have limited hours in the day to socialize with kids, while also trying to feed them, discipline them and run them from one activity to another. (To parents of pre-school kids, you’ll be more – not less – busy as the children age, believe it or not).

But perhaps the biggest culprit is technology. As I noted in a recent column, I don’t have an iPad or a smartphone, so I’m prob-ably using technology less than some – but I do like to text, use Facebook and send emails when it’s more convenient than making a phone call.

Unfortunately these com-

munication tools are making it increasingly diffi cult to communicate with those actually within my physical space.

So I’ve decided to be more present. It’s not easy. But here’s what I’m trying: when the kids get off the school bus, even if I’m mid-text, I just hit send and pocket the phone. (This has caused confusion among friends and colleagues).

When we get inside, I get discipline out of the way fi rst by ordering them to do three things: wash hands, put away lunchboxes, and “be loving and helpful.” The latter saves me time later because I go on to repeat, “are we being loving right now?” over and over again to break up fi ghts, encourage the children to set the table, etc. (You know, the kind of stuff that will land them in the psychologist’s

chair when they’re adults).I sit and talk with them

while they have a snack. I ask them about their days. They ask about mine. I give them encouragement with homework (rather than defensively yelling at them continuously to “sit down and do it,” while I’m trying to send a work-related text).

We’ve started reading to-gether again in the evenings – which, believe it or not, seems to be the best time of day to fi t in a really great conversation, while teaching them about morals based on the literature.

It may sound all super-mom of me, but I’m not do-ing all of this perfectly well.

But even on the days where paid work takes over and I have limited moments with the kids – actually, especially on those days – I’ve realized that being in the moment is ever more important. This was brought to focus when my eight-year-old said, “Mom, I like how you don’t yell much these days.” It’s amazing what we can accomplish when we’re proactive and present rather than reactive and distracted.

THIS WEEK’S POLL QUESTION: Do you think a tunnel beneath Richmond Road is the best route for the western branch of the LRT?

A) Yes. It is the optimum route and the underground track will cause the least disruption to the community.

B) No. Carling Avenue presents a much better option for light rail.

C) No. The city needs to make a deal with the NCC so the tracks can go down the river parkway.

D) I don’t even take transit, so I could care less where it runs.

PREVIOUS POLL SUMMARY:Will the recent explosions at the Boston Marathon result in lower attendance by fans and runners at the Ottawa Race Weekend?

A) Yes. There’s a chance it could happen here and some will be worried about security.

B) Maybe. Even though a bombing is unlikely, some people might be afraid to show up.

C) No. Acts of terror only serve to galvanize the public to not allow it to aff ect their behaviour.

D) If anything, more fans and runners will attend the event in support of the race.

Farmers’ Market to open May 5Ottawa Farmers’ Market

EMC news - We are count-ing down the days until the opening of the 8th Season of the Ottawa Farmers’ Market on May 5 at Brewer Park.

After an extended winter, the offering of fresh local spring vegetables and the return to our vibrant outdoor venues will be ever so sweet.

In just eight years, the mar-ket has grown tremendously with the support of the com-munity. As we prepare to open our outdoor markets, we are also looking to extend our mar-

ket into the winter. Our farm-ers have been increasing their growing capacity, but have few options for selling local pro-duce meats and cheeses when the weather turns cold.

For now, we celebrate the warm weather, and the fresh spring produce and green grass it brings to the opening of our Brewer Park Market. Join us as we celebrate the start of the season with more than 100 vendors of local produce, maple syrup, honey, meats, cheeses, baked goods and high quality crafts produced within 100 kilometres of Ottawa.

Walking is good for your health. It is a great chance to enjoy being active while going to school, work or doing errands. You and your family can enjoy walking with a few simple safety tips:

Be aware of your surroundings• Seeing and hearing is key – be aware that

cellphones and earbuds can lower your awareness

• Make eye contact with drivers and cyclists before you step off the curb, make sure they stop for you

• If no sidewalk is available, walk facing traffic

• Notice uneven surfaces to avoid falls

Be Seen• Wear bright coloured and reflective clothing

especially on rainy days and during dark hours

• Choose the safest route, even if you have to walk a little further

• Plan your route and cross at intersections or marked crossings

• Be predictable and follow the rules of the road

Be a role model• Children need adult supervision to cross

streets until they develop an ability to judge speed, depth and distance of cars. This usually occurs with teaching, around 10-11 years of age

• Let children see your commitment to following the rules of the road

Enjoy your walk and invite someone to join you! Remember your comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen and water.To find out more information on walking safely visit Safe Kids Canada www.safekids.ca and Ministry of Transportation of Ontario

For more information, call the Ottawa Public Health Information Line at 613-580-6744, TTY: 613-580-9656 or email us at [email protected].

May is Physical Activity Month and there is no better time to lace up your sneakers and put your best foot forward. Ottawa Public Health is sharing some tips to get residents moving!

PLAN Whether you walk for leisure to get reacquainted with your neighbours or as a useful way to get from point A to point B, there’s an “App” for that. Think about ways you can plan your trips and activities. Take advantage of new technology and Plan! Use websites such as Map my walk to map your own routes or visit National Capital Commission and Gatineau Park trails network websites for information on trails, maps, and route distances throughout Ottawa-Gatineau. OC Transpo has smartphone Apps that can help plan your trip. Or maybe you want to bike but the distance is too far? Find out what buses have a Rack and Roll.

WALK Walking is a low cost activity that can be done by almost anyone, anywhere. It is the ideal mode of transport for trips of 2km or less. Take advantage of the beautiful spring weather and

walk to work or school, to the store or simply to get a coffee. Walk with a friend during lunch or take the bus to work and build walking into your everyday activities. Getting off a stop earlier will add extra minutes of physical activity to your day. When heading to the mall, grocery store or work, park at the far end of the parking lot - will also help avoid parking lot car door dings! Change your walking routes, borrow a pedometer from the library or rediscover Ottawa by taking walking tours – it will keep things interesting and fun.

PLAY Children need a variety of physical activities throughout their day! Ensure your child takes part in active and structured play. Active play is child-led, fun and energetic while structured play is adult-led, teaching movement skills like running, jumping, climbing and balancing. Children learn these skills by playing games, participating in sports and activities such as dance. Visit the ‘Active for Life’ or ‘Bring Back Play’ websites for ideas and games to make play and physical activity fun for you and your family.

ENJOY: You need to enjoy what you do to stay active. Plan a date with friends and head to a local city pool for a swim, sign up to a run or a cycling race or head to a dog park for human-dog social time. Whatever it is that brings you joy, put your best foot forward. Get off the couch or out of your office chair and start enjoying a more active lifestyle – it’s easier than you think!

For more tips and ideas follow Ottawa Public Health on Twitter @OttawaHealth, Facebook, Pinterest or visit our blog at OttawaPublicHealth.ca For questions or more information call or email the Ottawa Public Health information line at 613-580-6744 [email protected].

EMC news - After years of raising money, planning and consulting members of the community, a parking and landscaping project at the Glebe Community Centre is fi -nally ready to move ahead.

The Glebe Neighbourhood Activities Group has been working on plans to add more parking and an outside play area at the Glebe Community Centre for the past three years.

With the groundwork for that project fi nally laid, the remaining work to see those plans become reality is set to begin this June.

Landscape committee mem-ber Kate McCartney said the project is the fi nal step in reno-vations to the centre.

“This is the completion of a landscape development plan that was fi rst envisioned

back when the GCC was reno-vated,” she said. “The current parking is actually only tem-porary parking pad that never got upgraded when the renova-tions were done, nor in 2007 when the walkway down to the front door as done, due to in-suffi cient funds at those times. It was always the intention to fi nish the job.”

The construction of the new parking area will create what the committee describes as safe zones around the two school crossing areas at the end of the block and will move the sidewalk to where pedestri-ans will be safer.

The project will also in-crease the available parking from six spaces and one handi-cap space to 18 total spaces. Four bicycle racks will also be added, which Capital Coun. David Chernushenko has do-nated towards the project, Mc-Cartney said.

The current parking area will be turned into a picnic area, something the committee has indicated is missing for the centre.

“Total green space will in-crease by approx 400 square feet (37 square metres),” Mc-Cartney said. “There will not be a loss of trees or added pavement to an area that is al-ready green space.”

In addition to the picnic area, a community garden is also being planned. This proj-ect has been primarily funded by the community. Multiple fundraisers were held, includ-ing January’s Taste in the Glebe event.

The group is receiving fi -nancial assistance from Che-renshenko for all bike-related costs, from the city for all the tree-related costs and the Glebe Community Association is helping fund the garden-re-lated costs.

The association has also ap-plied for a grant to help cover the cost of the outdoor furni-ture, McCartney said, but the group is still waiting to hear about the status of that grant application.

McCartney added that all construction and design will be done at cost and the city waived all administrative and legal costs.

The committee has done extensive consultations with the community regarding the project, including halting plans to start construction back in the fall to consult further with residents.

“The project was driven throughout by community input and was initiated and brought to completion by vol-unteer members of the com-munity,” she said.

McCartney said the group has been told hard landscap-ing construction should take at least a week. Digging for the trees will take place in the fall.

Parking project at Glebe centre set to begin


The Glebe Neighbourhood Activities Group will change the parking and landscaping in the front of the Glebe Community Centre. The project is set to begin in June.

Continued from page 1

“They (Bettye Hyde) have been amazing in making this come together,” she said.

The daycare will be provid-ing teachers for an art activity after the walk.

In preparation, MacPher-son said she took her young leaders out with a group of younger children.

“It was fascinating to watch the walk,” she said. “The old-er kids were leading and the younger ones were so atten-tive. They would stop and look at something and the younger kids would ask a question and the older kids would give their opinions.”

This scenario is what MacPherson hopes the May 5 walk will be about. It will lead children and their parents through Sandy Hill to Strath-cona Park and along the Ride-au River pathway.

“What’s really interest-ing about our walk is that we look at art on people’s lawn, the diversity of the lawns and urban landscape and then we will walk along the river and Strathcona Park,” she said.

“I think we are special to have this urban-nature mix. That is a huge part of our walk.”

Passionate about promoting urban living and landscapes, MacPherson said she loves events such as Jane’s Walk because to her, these walks are all about getting people to love where they live.

“These walks are about en-joying where you are living, and the kids are just one part of that overall enthusiasm,” she said.

“The city doesn’t have to be a demonized place, that we only live here because we have to, but that it’s actu-ally a wonderful place, where people can make a change and I think if the children can see nature in Strathcona Park to the homes in the neighbour-hood, and how these homes express themselves, they would see that they can also make change happen in this city.”

Children must be accompa-nied by an adult to participate in the children’s walk.

To kick off a weekend, or-ganizers for this year’s event have a Jane’s Talk planned at TAN Coffee at 317 Wilbrod St. in Sandy Hill on May 2. The evening will focus on the neighbourhood of Vanier and the ongoing revitalization go-ing on there. Multiple Vanier residents will be on hand to speak about the neighbour-hood’s rebirth.

Museoparc’s Janik Aubin-Robert said each community representative will have a unique message, but the focus will be the same.

“Each organization will be given the chance to explain its role in the community and most importantly how it works together with others to achieve its goals,” Aubin-Rob-ert said.

“We want other communi-ties to look at Vanier and say “Wow, what an amazing and diverse community.’

“Vanier is a changing com-munity. We want to show-case these changes and make people aware of the wonderful innovative projects and initia-tive going on in this amazing community.”

Sandy Hill is only one of the neighbourhoods’ partici-pating in this city-wide event. Walks are also taking place in Vanier, New Edinburgh, the ByWard Market, the Glebe, Old Ottawa South, Manotick, Kanata and Bar-rhaven among others. There will also be some French walks available.

In New Edinburgh, local volunteers will be leading a walk titled Bring Back Beech-wood, which will reminisce about changes to the street since a March 2011 fi re de-stroyed a portion of the neigh-bourhood’s main shopping district.

“It will be about remem-bering when, but it will also feature a visioning of what it can be,” said organizer Isobel Bisby.

New Edinburgh’s walk will begin at 10 a.m. on May 5 and will start at the New Edinburgh Community and Arts Centre and will end at St. Charles Church. To fi nd out about oth-er neighbourhood walks, visit www.janeswalkottawa.ca.

EMC news - Councillors decided to be more restrictive about the value of gifts they must disclose under a new code of conduct policy.

Reducing the value of gifts or meals that must be publi-cally disclosed from the recom-mended $200 to $30 was the only signifi cant alteration made to the policy during a committee meeting on April 25.

But before approving the new code of conduct, councillors peppered the city’s integrity commissioner and clerk with dozens of questions about how the rules limiting spending of their constituency budget.

College Coun. Rick Chiarelli said several councillors are pre-paring motions aimed at chang-ing the policy when it goes to city council on May 8.

Mayor Jim Watson empha-sized that it was important for him to push for accountability measures like the code of con-duct and lobbyist registry be-fore any scandals happened in Ottawa.

“It does not set impossible-to-meet standards that won’t drown us in a sea of paperwork,” Watson said, adding the changes

won’t add onerous paperwork for community groups.

“We have found that the best time to put things in place is when there is no scandal that council is addressing,” said Les-ley Donnelly, the deputy city clerk.

The city’s integrity commis-sioner, Robert Marleau, said he would prefer to eliminate gifts to council members entirely, but he understands it’s sometimes necessary to accept tokens so as not to offend the gifter.

For the most part, the policies codify practices that are already in use, Donnelly said.

Councillors were particularly concerned that the policy would impact their ability to contribute to community events. Things like providing refreshments for community barbeques or similar events would still be allowed, Marleau said.

Councillors can also be in-volved in fundraising initiatives, but there must be a “a good, arms length relationship from the councillor and the funds that are raised,” Marleau said.

Adding their signatures to letters asking for fundraising support is fi ne, Marleau said, as long as the letters are not send to lobbyists who are ac-tively involved in lobbying the city.

Donation of offi ce funds to charities must be made by way of city-issued cheque, the policy states.

“This is not our money, it is the public’s money,” Watson told councillors. “If you want to be generous, use your own money.”

Those contributions will now be limited to 3.5 per cent of each councillor’s annual of-fi ce and constituency budget. That’s around the median of what councillors spent on those sorts of expenses in the last two years.

“It shouldn’t be the taxpay-ers that pay for it,” Watson said, referring councillors using their budgets to pay for things like residents’ water bills or trips abroad.

“They are called constituency service budgets, not offi ce bud-gets,” said College Coun. Rick Chiarelli.

“They are also there to pro-vide community outreach … It shouldn’t surprise people that the functions correspond to ex-actly what the description is.”

Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli tried to get the limit upped to fi ve per cent, but his motion was defeated in a 6-5 vote with councillors Egli, Chi-arelli, Mark Taylor and Doug Thompson voting in favour and councillors Peter Clark, Kather-ine Hobbs, Maria McRae, Scott Moffatt, Bob Monette and Wat-son voting against the increase.

“We’re putting limits on it

so it’s not a bottomless pit,” the mayor said.

Egli said that different neigh-bourhoods might have greater need for community building a any give time, so the fi ve per cent limit would have offered more fl exibility.

Councillors’ “constituency services budgets,” as they are re-ferred to in the policy, provides councillors with resources to fulfi ll the following functions:

• Administer their offi ces to serve their constituents and sup-port their legislative role

• Support their role as coun-cillor

• Enable them to communi-cate with constituents about the meetings and activities of city council and city hall

• Assist with and lead activi-ties that enhance the communi-ties in their wards

• Represent the city at func-tions and events

McRae was the councillor who asked the committee to lower the gift-reporting limit to $30.

Councillors won’t be al-lowed to contribute to purchas-ing material goods on behalf of groups, or contributing to city-funded services or depart-ments.

If councillors want to con-tribute to something the city would normally pay for but is not in the budget, like a pedestrian crossing, it would have to be approved by a coun-cil motion.

INVESTING IN BETTER CARE FOR

OUR SENIORSOur government is improving health care for all patients in Ontario and especially for our seniors. I am pleased to report that as of August 1, Ontario will provide more than 200,000 additional seniors and patients with improved access to high-quality physiotherapy, exercise, and falls prevention classes.

Falls are one of the leading causes of injury for people over the age of 65. In fact, the risk of falling increases with each decade of life and can have devastating consequence including fractures and traumatic brain injuries (TBI). To address this problem, more one-on-one physiotherapy, group exercise classes and falls prevention services will be available in long-term care homes across Ontario, including of course our community.

Following the recommendations in Living Longer, Living Well, Dr. Samir Sinha’s report on a Seniors Strategy for Ontario, the province is making improvements to the delivery of physiotherapy that will:

Provide access to exercise and falls prevention classes for 68,000 additional seniors in community settings

Provide funding for one-on-one physiotherapy for all long-term care residents with assessed need, in addition to group exercise classes

Offer in-home physiotherapy for 60,000 more seniors and people with mobility issues to clear current waitlists

Expand clinic-based physiotherapy services across Ontario for 90,000 more seniors and eligible patients

Expanding physiotherapy is part of the Ontario government’s Action Plan for Seniors, ensuring seniors and their families have access to quality services and supports in order to lead healthy and independent lives.

We all want a society where our seniors and patients live high-quality, secure and independent lives. Assuring that seniors and patients access the right care, in the right place, at the right time is a priority of our government.

For more information on accessing physiotherapy or fall prevention, contact the Champlain Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) at (613) 745-5525 or at 4200 Labelle St or consult your family physician.

If you have other questions, you can always call my constituency office at 613-744-4484, send us an email at [email protected] or drop in at 237 Montreal Road.

EMC news - In a surprise move to deal with conversions of homes to apartment buildings, the city’s plan-ning committee chairman sponsored a motion to put a temporary hold on any conversions in Sandy Hill, Va-nier and Capital Ward.

The rare measure of using the interim control bylaw is one of the strongest tools the city can use and it’s not undertaken lightly.

The temporary moratorium on certain types of conversions will give city planning staff time to look at how to address issues created by housing 16 or more people in houses that used to be home to one family.

Things like garbage, parking, bi-cycle parking and noise led to the implementation of a pilot project requiring something called site-plan approval for conversions in Sandy Hill, where pressure to provide off-campus housing for students has re-sulted in many such conversions.

The ward’s councillor, Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury, said he and city staff quickly realized that site-plan control wouldn’t be enough to deal with the fallout of cramming several times the number of residents into a home than previously resided there.

“We realized ‘site plan light’ was addressing what we were hearing … but it wasn’t getting to the core,” Fleury said.

When the same issues were iden-tifi ed in Old Ottawa South, Capital Coun. David Chernushenko asked the planning committee to adopt the same type of site-plan controls for his ward.

Instead, planning committee

chairman Coun. Peter Hume sur-prised him by proposing the much stricter interim control bylaw.

“We were making it clear that this is a big problem,” Chernushenko said. “There are times when your public servants say… ‘This isn’t looking good.’

“We’re pressing the pause button as we look for a solution.”

City staff will report back in four to six months on a more permanent fi x for controlling conversions, said John Smit, the city’s manager of ur-ban development review.

Fleury said he hopes the rules Smit and his team come up with re-sult in housing conversions that “re-spect the mature neighbourhood that Sandy Hill is.”

Part of the challenge is fi nding a way to encourage the University of Ottawa to build student residences in the community, he said.

Chernushenko said he has had discussions with developers about the seriousness of the issue and how he hoped to tackle it, so the move shouldn’t come as a surprise to builders who were planning to con-vert homes.

Chernushenko is hoping the so-lution staff fi nd is sensitive to the need for a mix of housing types. He doesn’t want any changes to reduce the availability of more affordably housing geared at students or people with low incomes and seniors.

“Let’s be very careful that this isn’t about students and apartments,” he said. We can’t set the rules (so) tight that we’re precluding ourselves from reaching diversity and afford-ability goals.”

The portion of Capital Ward south of the Rideau River is not included in the interim control bylaw.

EMC community - Otta-wa’s Chinatown will become a hotbed of art, food and cul-ture during a May 18 street celebration.

Now in its fi fth year, Chi-natown Remixed is a growing one-day event that brings to-

gether Somerset Street West businesses with Ottawa art-ists of all mediums.

From restaurants and gro-ceries to medical offi ces and laundromats, local businesses open their doors to artists and patrons as a way of celebrat-ing the cultural uniqueness of the neighbourhood.

The street celebration ends

appropriately with an outdoor after-party held at Shanghai Restaurant.

Donald Kwan, co-owner of Shanghai, co-founded the non-profi t collective that has run Chinatown Remixed since its inception in 2009.

“This year there are 40 different venues, paired with 40 visual artists,” said Kwan.

“There are video installa-tions, artists working with sound, sculptural elements – it’s a really diverse cross-section of the arts scene.”

The celebration receives funding and support from both the city and the Somer-set Street Chinatown BIA.

Kwan, who has an art his-tory background, took his skill in curating the space inside his restaurant and de-cided to apply it to the whole Chinatown community. At fi rst, he fi gured it would be diffi cult bringing enough art-ists on board.

“Every year we do a call-out for (artistic) submissions in January and this year we had over 100,” said Kwan. “You’d think the talent pool in Ottawa wouldn’t be that strong, but each year it gets larger and larger.”

The 40 artists involved in this year’s event are profi led on the website www.china-townremixed.ca, alongside a map showing what establish-ments they will showing in.

Food and beverage factors into the street experience as well, as restaurants will have goodies on hand and Kit-

chesippi Beer Company will be handing out samples of its new soda line while sponsor-ing (and fueling) the main stage at Shanghai Restaurant.

Booked for the concert are transgendered indie electron-ic musician Rae Spoon and Ottawa experimental band Silkken Lauman.

Chinatown Remixed runs from 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. on May 18, with the musical af-ter party running from 5 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.

The works of art will re-main in the businesses all month.

There’s goin’ to be heck to pay,” Em-erson said at recess that day when the

warm spring weather had fi nally arrived and the entire school was out in the school-yard – even Miss Crosby.

She was sitting on the stoop working on her day-book and enjoying the warm sunny day.

Emerson went on to ex-plain: “Miss Crosby told Two Mile Herman it was his turn to clean off the blackboards after school. And when I went back in the school to get the ball glove out of the cloak room, there was Marguirite wiping the blackboards like a maniac. The chalk dust was fl ying everywhere. I tell you Miss Crosby won’t be happy and Two Mile Herman will just about kill Marguirite.”

Back then it was a privi-lege to be asked to do any of the cleaning necessary to keep the school as neat and tidy as possible. Miss Crosby had to be careful not to give the privilege to the same per-son too often or the rest of us would be mad. Whatever job we were given, we did it hap-

pily and even a bit smugly. It was an honour and one not to be taken lightly.

There was no such thing as a school caretaker back then. We scrubbed the fl oors once a month, took ashes out of the stove, washed the windows and one of us, for a whole week, had the job of empty-ing the big green tin waste basket at the end of each day.

One of the jobs nobody wanted was one assigned on the last school day of every month. Because it was a detested job, it always went to a boy from Senior Fourth. He would carry the pail of lime out of the cupboard at the back of the school, carry it to the outhouse and shovel in a heaping dose. Inside the outhouse there was a tin can of lime which we were sup-posed to use when we went

to the bathroom for serious business, but I was pretty sure back then that very few pupils bothered.

And every morning, just after singing God Save the King, Miss Crosby would announce the name of the person who would be given the privilege of cleaning off the blackboards and that day, the job fell to Two Mile Herman.

Thinking she was going to get on the good side of Miss Crosby, Marguirite sneaked back into the school during afternoon recess and stole the job away from Two Mile Herman right out from under his nose.

Well, when Miss Crosby rang the bell and we marched back in (all in order of course – the youngest of us at the front of the line, the oldest

ones bringing up the rear), there was Marguirite beaming ear-to-ear with the black-boards rubbed clear. What she hadn’t done, which was always part of the job, was to take the brushes outside and pound them together to get rid of the chalk dust.

She left them sitting on the ledge of the blackboard.

To say Two Mile Herman was roary-eyed mad was an understatement. “That was my job, you dirty little Prot-estant,” he roared – Two Mile Herman was Catholic.

Sixteen pairs of eyes darted (there were 18 of us at the Northcote School) from Miss Crosby, who wouldn’t tolerate for a second an outburst like she just heard from Two Mile Herman, then to Marguirite, then back to Herman. I was sure he would get a taste of the leather strap which hung on a cup hook on the side of the teacher’s desk. And Marguirite, sitting so smug you just wanted to slap her, was beaming.

Well, it didn’t take the rest of the day for Miss Crosby to settle the issue. She didn’t say a word to Two Mile Her-

man. Not a single word. Her face was turning beet red and she marched to the front of the room, took the brushes off the ledges – the ledge ran the full length of the blackboard at the front of the school and all down the south side, so there were six brushes in all – and marched right down to Marguirite’s desk.

“Young lady, if you are so anxious to work, you can take these outside and get rid of the chalk dust and when you are fi nished, you can go to the cloak room and get the pail of lime and go to the outhouse. You know what has to be done.”

Her voice had risen to a high pitch and she practi-

cally threw the brushes at Marguirite.

Marguirite was livid. Lime in the outhouse – that was a boy’s job! But there was no negotiating with a teacher back in those days. Her com-mand was the law.

It took a few minutes for the rest of the school to settle down, but we could

hear Marguirite slapping the brushes together outside. We could also hear her crying and I was pretty sure I could hear her stamping her feet, which she was prone to do-ing when upset. The last we heard was the scraping of the lime pail going down the cement steps on its way to the outhouse.

EMC community - Always a hit with the ladies, Friends of Hospice Ottawa is set to host its seventh-annual Girls Night Out event on May 31.

This year, the evening event will take place at Algonquin College. Tickets are $70, which includes dinner and wine, and a silent auction with more than 200 items.

“The big attraction is that we have fi refi ghters escorting the ladies to their tables, help-ing with the raffl e and then they help with carrying out the heavy items at the end of the evening,” said Alice Holst, a volunteer with Friends of Hos-pice Ottawa.

“We have entertainer ex-traordinaire George Thomas. He’s promised us he’ll have everyone up singing and danc-ing, clapping along and enjoy-ing the music.”

The fundraising goal for the event is $75,000, with pro-ceeds going to the hospice’s services and programs that are provided at no charge.

“We encourage people to come out,” said Holst. “It’s a nice way for them to sup-

port us while they’re enjoying themselves.”

Friends of Hospice Ottawa is a palliative care registered charity, serving residents of Kanata, Stittsville-Goul-bourn, Nepean, West Carleton, Manotick and Kars.

The hospice organization offers in-home, caregiver and bereavement support, as well as a day hospice, transporta-tion, community education,

emergency residential care, and provides information and referrals free of charge to ter-minally ill clients and their families.

The organization recently bought Trinity Presbyterian Church on McCurdy Drive to help co-ordinate all its efforts under one roof.

Combating Sugar

CravingsWe all have been known to reach for that sugary treat once

in a while, but what if you can’t seem to get enough? One

of the most common causes for sugar cravings is linked to a

hormone imbalance. As a result your mood and energy get

low. To help, your body simply looks for quick fuel and the

happy hormone serotonin. So what can you do?

Prevention is the key. Start your day off right by exercising

to increase serotonin. Then have a whole grain breakfast

which helps to balance your blood sugar. Next, include

cruciferous high fibre veggies like kale which helps your

hormones. For all of your meals, work on including protein

and healthy fats from

foods like walnuts,

which help tell your

body you are full.

Lastly, sprinkle spices

like cinnamon,

coriander and saffron,

to any of your creations

to kick your cravings to

the curb even more!

Centretown Citizens Com-munity Association president Jordan Charbonneau said in hindsight, the discussions should have been more open.

“I wish we had been more inclusive from the beginning,” he said. “We recognize that it upset people.”

Timelines were short and the board was unsure what – if anything – would come from the discussions, Charbonneau said.

“Because there was so much likelihood for outrage, we wanted to see if it was even possible fi rst,” Charbonneau said.

The April 23 meeting was

a way to seek that broader in-volvement, he said. It worked – almost 150 people packed into the Dominion-Chalmers Church basement.

But the results of the con-sultation were murkier. Many people who spoke admitted they were becoming involved in the process late in the game and had trouble comprehend-

ing the complex information that had evolved over three years of work and consulta-tion.

In the end, the vast major-ity of people in attendance put up their hands to vote that they didn’t know which option would be best.

The show of hands is just one factor the community as-sociation board will use to form its position on how to move forward, Charbonneau said. The association will also be looking to communications from residents and word of mouth.

The root of the difference between the developer-com-munity board deal and the city’s proposed plan is how they would deal with provi-sions for allowing taller build-ings.

Under the community de-sign plan supported by city staff, this would be done under a landmark buildings policy. Most people on either side of the argument agreed that the application for the policy would be limited to only a handful of properties in Cen-tretown. It would place a list of restrictive requirements on where a “landmark” building could go and what it would

have to look like. I would also require builders to include either a community use, cul-tural or institutional facility, or a large public open space comprising 40 per cent of the property.

“I like that because it con-fi rms just how extraordinary and selective theses sites would have to be to exceed the max nine storey height limits,” Hanscom argued in her presen-tation.

Some residents, including Thomas McVeigh, agreed. He said he’s not afraid of tall build-ings, but he is afraid of losing Centretown’s vibrant street life. Allowing a small number of very tall buildings will also allow Centretown’s population to grow while preserving the low-rise neighbourhoods on the east and west sides of Cen-tretown, he said.

People who reject the tall landmark buildings policy saw removing all limits on building heights in Centretown save for the Parliamentary view plane would be ludicrous.

Instead, they favour some-thing that would help green Centretown in smaller ways, by offering modest increases in building height in exchange for a certain amount of public

open space on the property, which is referred to in the com-munity-developer deal as the “small moments” policy.

Ted Fobert of FoTenn Con-sultants said the group of seven developers he represents are “looking in a truly altruistic way at the community of Cen-tretown” by giving up the op-portunity to build towers under the landmark buildings policy.

But others said the devel-opers would be gaining, not giving anything up. Far more properties in Centretown would qualify under the “small moments” provisions, meaning Centretown could see a prolif-eration of 15-storey buildings as opposed to the nine-story limit set out in the community design plan. But most people at the meeting seemed undecided or unsure of the details of the policies and what they meant.

The Centretown community design plan has already seen multiple delays and it is now set to be considered for fi nal approval by full city council on May 8, said Somerset Coun. Diane Holmes.

Before that happens, there will be one fi nal public meet-ing during which city staff to reveal its response to the deal between the developers and the community association board. That meeting was set to take place at city hall on April 30 at 1:30 p.m.

Discussion should have been more open: association president

EMC entertainment - Brant Pethick took a less traditional route for his upcoming album release concert.

The Orléans singer-song-writer launched his Awake album last September and is planning the release concert nine months later, at the Shen-kman Arts Centre on June 15 starting at 7 p.m..

“I decided to wait to gain some traction, and with some radio play to be able to grow into the fan base,” Pethick said.

The pop-rock artist has re-ceived play for two of his sin-gles, “Only You” and “Awake”, on Christian radio across Can-ada, and mainstream radio in Western Canada.

“The embracing life mes-sage, the positive messaging (in my songs) have really hit home with the community,” he said.

The June 15 show will give him a chance to perform his entire album for friends, family and fans in Ottawa.

He’ll be joined by two other Ottawa musicians, Colin Ber-nard and Dan Barkley, to round out the show.

The guest artists represent the two aspects of Pethick’s music. While Dan Barkley is more pop-driven, Colin Ber-nard is well known in the Chris-tian music scene, he said.

Bernard was a 2013 Juno nominee for contemporary Christian/gospel album of the year.

Pethick has worked to in-corporate positive messag-ing into his music, which can be played on Christian ra-dio but embraced by a wide audience.

The Awake album, Pethick’s second, has 11 songs, several of which have been nominated for awards.

The song “Imagine Some-day” was a fi nalist in the 2013 Christian Song Competition, and two other songs were semi-fi nalists in the International Song Competition.

“These songs are real, and they’re getting some traction and people have been provid-ing some great feedback,” Pethick said.

It’s going to be the fi rst time he’s played the 500-seat main hall at the Shenkman Arts Cen-tre.

Pethick is also looking for-ward to upcoming performanc-es at the Ottawa Race Week-end and the Orléans Festival to promote his album release concert, along with promotions on CHRI, a Christian radio sta-tion.

“From coast to coast, they’ve liked the music,” Pethick said. “I’ve worked really hard to connect with people and radio stations.”

Tickets are on sale online prior to the show for $20 at www.capitaltickets.ca. Tickets will be available at the door the night of the show for $25.

EMC entertainment - Ask Randy Shaughnessy what the biggest chal-lenge is shooting wild animals on a Tanzanian safari, and he’ll tell you dust.

Spoken like a true photographer, he’s more worried about protecting his lenses and getting a clear shot than the sweltering African heat or photographing wild lions.

“You learn it’s not that risky, the cats see you not as a per-son in a vehicle, but a vehicle the size of an elephant,” Shaughnessy said.

“Patience is a big thing. Cats in the middle of the day are pretty bor-ing – it’s waiting around for some-thing to happen.”

For his wildlife and nature pho-tography, Shaughnessy was hon-oured with a premier Canadian Pho-tographic Artist of the Year Award, which he received at the Profes-sional Photographers of Canada Association’s annual conference in Vancouver.

Awards were given for por-trait, commercial, wedding and Shaughnessy’s award, spe-cialist (photographic artist). He said judges look for variety in the photos selected, and imagines they haven’t seen before. His set included photos from Tanzanian safaris, and travels throughout North America.

In 2012, he won the provincial Photographic Artist of the Year

award, and best in class for the ani-mal – wild/domestic category.

“This year I’ve stepped up and submitted some enhancements,” he said.

“Some of them were the same photos with little changes. Often when you go in and are judged, you get ideas of ways you can bring (your photos) up to another level.”

He started shooting the mountains in Alberta, where he grew up, as a youth, but kept photography as a part-time passion while working in information technology.

The Orléans resident decided to dive in and become a full time photographer, shooting weddings, portraits, wildlife, and everything in between.

“The last three years I’ve gone full speed into it, 90 per cent of my time is into photography,” he said.

He operates a studio out of his home, Shaughnessy Photography, and travels around the world pho-tographing people, landscapes and animals.

Soon he will lead photo safari tours, helping other photographers with the small details he’s picked up along his travels in Tanzania.

“There’s everything you can imag-ine there,” he said.

Shaughnessy said when he goes on vacation, it’s different than most – while many are sitting on the beach, he’s hiking trails, camera in hand.

He’s also about to start teaching a continuing education photography course at St. Matthew High School.

He hopes to enter a different cat-egory in future years to his different skills in photography.

“It’s always keeping variety, so I’m going to look at some of the oth-er options and continue doing what

I’m doing,” Shaughnessy said. “On-ward and upward, looking for more challenges.”

EMC news - Pacers, part-nerships and pledge forms are making the third annual Goode Run more appealing than ever for runners of all skill levels.

The charity run on Satur-day, May 11, is the largest fundraising event for the Os-goode Youth Association, and last year attracted about 400 people who walked and ran two, fi ve and 10-kilometre routes on Osgoode’s multi-use pathway.

This year, event organizers are raising the bar with profes-sional elements like learn-to-run clinics leading up the big day and pacers for the fi ve and 10-kilometre routes.

“There are people running the race that are more commit-ted to improving their runs and making a certain time, and we had that request (for pacers) from a few people last year,” said Nicole McKerracher, ex-ecutive director of O-YA.

McKerracher and event or-ganizer Heather Roe partnered with several elite runners from Good Guys Tri, a non-profi t

group that uses running events to support charitable causes. Several Good Guys members visited one of the weekly learn-to-run clinics hosted throughout March and April, and they will return as pacers on May 11.

For the fi rst time, runners can also collect pledges for their run, which McKerracher hopes will add a few thousand dollars to their fundraising to-tal. In past years only sponsor-ship money and registration costs were collected.

Still, every dollar counts, McKerracher said.

“Because the run is entirely volunteer-led, 100 per cent of the money goes back into O-YA,” she said.

This year has been par-ticularly challenging without funding from United Way, she added.

“2013 is the fi rst year the United Way hasn’t put out a call for proposals in years, so that was a hard hit for us. That is a challenge all across the board for all of our pro-grams.”

Any money raised at the run - they’re hoping for about

$25,000 - will be used to pay staff, keep the doors open and fi nance programs.

Pledges or not, McKer-racher said they won’t meet their goal if registrations don’t pick up soon. They are hoping for 500 participants, and so far they only have about 200 people registered, she said.

“It’s always an exciting event here at O-YA as a great community event,” she said. “There’s a really excited buzz around the centre on race day.”

A family two-kilometre run/walk begins in front of the youth centre on Osgoode Main Street at 9 a.m. along with the 10-km walk, which is new this year.

The fi ve and 10-km runs be-gin together at 10 a.m.

To register visit www.o-ya.ca. For pledge forms email McKerracher at [email protected].

O-YA aims to enrich the lives of youth ages seven to 18 in Osgoode ward through programs and services aimed at prevention, education, skill building, inspiration, social-ization and recreation.

EMC news -+ Taking advantage of lower ridership rates between school years, work begins on the O-Train service expansion project on April 27.

Between that date and Sept. 2, the transit line will be shut down to make way for track, bridge and tun-nel maintenance, station upgrades, and the construction of passing tracks in two locations - one of them near Gladstone Avenue, the other by Brookfi eld Road. The $59-million project was approved by city council in 2011.

During the shutdown, service to

each of the fi ve O-Train stations will be offered by Route 107.

That route will follow the southeast Transitway from South Keys Station to Heron, then connects to Bronson Avenue via Data Centre Avenue. The route then performs a loop of Cam-pus/University avenues at Carleton University before leaving Bronson to connect to Preston Street via Carling Avenue. It then continues down Pres-ton Street to Albert Street to reach the Lebreton Transitway Station.

Construction of passing tracks will allow for double the number of trains to run – four instead of two – with service going from every 15 minutes to every eight minutes after the new infrastructure has been tested. The

city will receive delivery of six new diesel Alstom Coradia Lint trains this fall to replace the three Bombardier trains that have been in service since the line opened in 2001.

The city has notifi ed Carleton Uni-versity that there will be some traffi c congestion in the area of the River Building once work commences.

As of press time, OC Transpo has not responded to requests for informa-tion on the possibility of disruptions in the areas where passing tracks are being constructed.

Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs, whose eastern ward boundary is the O-Train line, said her offi ce has had “no notifi cation (that) it would be required.”

Upgrades to increase the O-Train’s capacity are being carried out this year in advance of the planned shutdown of Hurdman Station in 2015. When that major transit hub is closed during

the construction of the Confederation LRT line, the O-Train should be able to handle the increased number of riders expected to use the service as an interim measure.

STEPH WILLEMS/METROLAND

The O-Train will be out of service from April 27 to Sept. 2 while the transit line undergoes repair and expansion. A special bus route will be added to serve the O-Train stations during that period.

Work underway on O-Train service expansion

EMC news - A motion presented by the NDP could have Ontario resi-dents seeing a 15 per cent slash in their auto insurance premiums.

The provincial New Democrats pushed for the motion after watch-ing premiums go up and payouts go down.

Since 2010, the provincial gov-ernment has agreed to increase pre-miums by fi ve per cent and cut ben-efi ts by more than 50 per cent, sav-ing the insurance companies about $2 billion annually.

Previously the typical payout a moderately injured customer would receive hovered around $100,000, but the cap has lowered that amount to $50,000 with the average receiv-ing much less.

“The vast majority of people are now being told they can only get up to $3,500 in coverage which makes our coverage amongst the lowest in all of Canada,” said, Jagmeet Singh, a New Democratic MPP for Brama-lea-Gore-Malton.

“Insurance companies have en-joyed, and this is not an exaggera-tion, one of the most historically sig-nifi cant reductions in their costs in Ontario’s history. Period,” he added. “So we are paying more money for an inferior product.”

Over the years, the insurance companies have seen an overall cost reduction of 35 per cent.

A legislated reduction of premi-ums of 15 per cent seemed fair for both customers and the industry, said the MPP.

“We want results that are achiev-able, that are reasonable and that will help people out,” said Singh.

FRAUD PREVENTION: PCS

Insurance brokers do not believe a legislated premium reduction is the way to go, neither do the Pro-gressive Conservatives.

“The motion to reduce premi-ums by 15 per cent period is a no-ble thought, but however it doesn’t address the problem about why the premiums are high,” said Car-leton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack

MacLaren.Various stakeholders have identi-

fi ed that preventing fraud is an in-tegral piece to cutting down premi-ums for all. Fraud costs the industry between $750 million and $1.5 bil-lion annually.

Insurance companies are also wrapped in yards of red tape. They must apply to a regulatory body to change a premium rate whether to increase or decrease it. The process is slow and cumbersome and can take up to six months to get a reply, said MacLaren.

Appealing a claim is also a te-dious process, with customers often waiting up to a year for a response.

Imposing a mandatory slash in premiums could do more harm than good by eliminating competition and the root causes of the problem would still be there, said MacLaren.

“We have to do the tough work of getting rid of the fraud, getting rid of the red tape and providing a truly competitive environment for private companies,” he said. “The market-place will reward us with lower pre-miums.”

The NDP has countered that the party supports reducing fraud but that reductions in 2010 have already cut the number of cases and cost signifi cantly.

“It shouldn’t be contingent on further fraud reduction measures,” said Singh.

“I think that’s a red herring, a pol-itic of distraction. I think we should see those changes now. We are more than happy to implement more fraud reduction policies down the road but those should be tied in to more re-ductions.”

The Liberal government has agreed to add the motion to the

province’s yearly budget, but it was a hard sell.

Petitions were signed, city halls were visited and a grassroots move-ment was built and fi nally was ac-

cepted.“All those things together, I think

worked in fi nally putting pressure,” he added.

The provincial budget is planned

to be approved at the end of April, but customers could start feeling the effects within a year.

“People will start feeling it dur-ing their renewal,” said Singh.

EMC community - The country will honour its four-legged friends in the form of a commemorative Adopt a Pet commemorative stamp.

The stamp, which features actual pets that were up for adoption at the Toronto Humane Society, was unveiled at the Ottawa Humane Society (OHS) facility on West Hunt Club Road on April 22.

Linda Barber, chair of the OHS board of directors, said the stamps will bring the message of animal welfare to residents across the country.

“It’s fi tting that this is happening in the Ottawa Humane Society’s 125th anniversary year,” Barber said.

The Ottawa Humane Society takes in 11,000 abandoned and neglected animals per year.

Barbara Cartwright, CEO of the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies, said a report

in 2011 showed that 600,000 cats and 400,000 dogs were up for adoption across the country that year.

Minister of Transport, Steven Fletcher, said Canadian stamps are a great way to celebrate Canadian history and culture.

“We live in the best country in the world, at a probably the best time to be a human. We should do what we can to make sure it’s the best time for animals too,” Fletcher said.

The stamps, which will feature the likeness of seven different animals, are bordered with what appear to be the walls of a cage.

Fletcher said when the stamp is removed, Canadians will be symbolically removing the animals from the cages.

“We wanted to show real animals currently in the shelter system,” Deepak Chopra, CEO of Canada Post said.

“Buddy” a 32-year-old parrot and Mr. Wrinkles a mixed-breed

dog, are two of the characters to be showcased on the new stamps. Both have been adopted after being selected as models.

Laureen Harper, who volunteers with the OHS, said she was happy to see animals like parrots shown on the stamps, because it will remind

people that it’s not just dogs and cats in need of our help.

“Each type of animal has their own rescue society,” she said.

Skunks are everywhere—in the country and in the city. The Ottawa Humane Society has received several skunk-sighting phone calls lately from Ottawa residents wanting to know more about these smelly creatures and looking for advice on how to get the skunk smell out of their dog’s coat.

If your dog gets sprayed, there are ways to get rid of the scent without using your entire ketchup (or tomato juice) supply to do it.

If you don’t have time to head to the store for over-the-counter odour-remover products, try the following at home remedy provided by the Humane Society of the United States (www.humanesociety.org):

While you prepare the de-skunking solution, keep your dog outside so he doesn’t carry the smell into your house. Check his eyes; if they’re irritated or red, immediately flush them with cool water.

Mix together: a half-litre of three-percent hydrogen peroxide (available at your local pharmacy) ; 1/4 cup baking

soda; and 1 teaspoon liquid dishwashing soap.Wearing rubber gloves, wash your dog with this solution

as soon as possible. Don’t get the solution in the dog’s eyes. (If you don’t have peroxide, baking soda, and liquid soap on hand, use vinegar diluted with water.)

Don’t save this mixture or make it ahead of time, as the mixture could explode if left in a bottle.

Rub the mixture through the dog’s fur, but don’t leave it on too long (peroxide can bleach fur). Rinse thoroughly.

Next, wash your dog with pet shampoo and rinse thoroughly. By now, he should be de-skunked and smelling sweet. Thoroughly towel-dry your dog, and be sure to place him in a warm, sunny room for the next couple of hours so that he doesn’t get chilled. He should also have a large dry towel on which to lie down. If you dog has long fur, you may need to use a hair dryer to dry his fur.

If your dog rubbed some of the stink onto you, you can rid your clothes of the smell by using regular laundry detergent mixed with a half-cup of baking soda.

Duke is 10 month-old energetic, neutered male, tricolor Coonhound who loves to say hello to everyone he meets. He was transferred to the Ottawa Humane Society from another shelter on April 5, and is now available for adoption. He’s got a tone of energy to burn so he’d love to go hiking and running on-leash daily. Mentally stimulating courses like agility, fly-ball or scent tracking would be

lots of fun for Duke! He gets along with other dogs that are big, silly and goofy like him and can handle his style of play. Duke needs a feline and small mammal free home as he may get the urge to chase them. Duke will need a detached home where his serenading of passersby won’t be an issue!

Stubbs is a 5 year-old, neutered male, gray and white Domestic Shorthair cat

who love to be pet everywhere! He was brought to the Ottawa Humane Society as a stray on December 26, 2012 and is now available for adoption. This unique cat has a cute little stub of a tail, like a bunny. He gets along with anyone with an empty lap, or lonely-looking windowsill! He’s been patiently waiting in the Adoption Centre for someone to come scoop him up and take him home so he can offer all his kitty love. Stubbs is a “Special Needs” adoption as he will require a special diet due to possible underlying inflammatory bowel disease.

Visit the OHS website at www.ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of all of the animals available for adoption. Stop by the Adoption Centre, weekdays 11:00am-7:00pm and Saturdays 10:00am-5:00pm.

PipPip is a little brown tabby, and Vanier resident. She is approximately eighteen years old but was a Humane Society rescue so her mom and dad aren’t quite sure how old she is. Even though she’s getting up there in years, Pip enjoys a hearty meal and will squeak to remind you that she’s hungry. Hobbies include resting on the heating vent and resting on the audio receiver.
