On March 23, OC Transpo revealed a hefty list of changes to the transit map that are aimed at saving the city $22 million by next year while still maintaining close to the current level of service.

While the city says around 93 per cent of tips (that’s about 11,000 rides) won’t change, it might mean you need to walk farther or transfer bus-es.

There are also changes to service levels pro-posed, which means some routes may only oper-ate at peak hours, occasionally with one late-eve-ning run.

Some of the most signifi cant changes will be happening in Central Nepean – of the overall $22 million in savings by next year, $2.7 million will be found in this area alone.

Read on for information about the proposed changes in your area, and log onto www.oc-transpo.com to see them for yourself.

CENTRAL NEPEAN

One of the biggest changes in Nepean would be the elimination of Route 3, which currently runs from the downtown through the Central Ex-perimental Farm to Viewmount, Merivale and eventually Colonnade.

Part of the former 3 route would be replaced by a new peak-hours route, the 159, which would run from Viewmount along Fisher and Holland to Tunney’s Pasture.

That would mean a longer walk for about 130 people who take the bus on the section of View-mount east of Chesterton, according to a city re-port. Approximately 50 people who take the bus on Fisher south of Meadowlands would also have a longer walk because of the elimination of

the 3, as would about 20 customers who take the bus each day on the section of Prince of Wales between Meadowlands and Fisher.

Route 116 would also bring people to Colonnade to replace service on the 3, but it would see some changes.

The section of the 116 west of Meri-vale would be eliminated because Route 86 offers the same service (riders could also take Route 176 on MacFarlane and Merivale). The main section of Route 116, east of Antares and Auriga, would operate Until 10 p.m. on weekdays and until 7 p.m. on weekends. Weekday peak-hour trips would be extended west to Colonnade.

The Knoxdale-Merivale Community Associations (KMCA) has come together to fi ght the proposed changes to routes 3, 156, 157, 111 and 117, which they say will mean that the neighbourhoods of Park-wood Hills, Borden Farm, Fisher Glen, Stewart Farm and Carleton Heights will no longer be served by dedicated routes.

The petition is be available at: www.ipetitions.com/petition/ward9.

Route 116 would also pick up the slack due to the loss of Route 158, which would no longer operate. The revised Route 4 would also replace a section of the for-mer Route 158.

The routes students usually take through Meadowlands would be chang-ing. Routes 111 and 117 would be re-

placed by a revised Route 4, which would run from Baseline Station at Algonquin College to Viewmount and Chesterton and onto Meadowlands, Prince of Wales and Heron before making a stop at Her-on Station. It would continue to Carleton University via Data Centre Road and Riverside Drive and head downtown from there.

The changes to Route 4 would also pick up some of the areas that would lose Route 3.

Route 57 would be no more, replaced instead by service from routes 4, 86 and 159.

Route 156 would be shortened to oper-ate from Baseline Station along Wood-roofe, Medhurst, Woodfi eld, Merivale and Colonnade.

The 176 would also get a slightly dif-ferent route and more frequent service. Right now, peak-hour trips on that route take MacFarlane and Ambrwood. In-stead, they would now operate on Mac-Farlane and turn around on Auriga, Antares, Hunt Club, Prince of Wales and Deakin before returning west on Mac-Farlane, and those trips would also oper-ate during the day.

The increase in trips on Route 176 would help offset changes to Route 116, which will become a peak-hours-only route. It would run from Hurdman Sta-tion and Greenboro Station along Hunt Club, Antares, Auriga, Deakin and Prince of Wales to Colonnade. At other

certain times of the week, the 116 would operate between Greenboro and Antar-es/Auriga.

BELL’S CORNERS

Other big changes would happen in Bell’s Corners, where the city says it would improve service by extending Transitway Route 97 from Bayshore to Bell’s Corners.

That would replace part of Route 166 and provide faster, frequent service to the downtown and Bayshore Station, and continue along Holly Acres and Richmond Road, through Queensway-Carleton Hospital, then along Baseline, Richmond Road, Seyton and Westcliffe to Robertson, turning around on Fitzger-ald and Moodie.

Bus service in Bell’s Corners would be streamlined.

A loop of the 97 that serves Woodridge north of Bayshore Station would be re-moved (the 85 offers the same route). That would mean a longer walk or ad-ditional transfer for approximately 310 people who currently use that route each day.

Crystal Beach-Lakeview Community Association (CBLCA) president Ruth Tremblay said in a Facebook message that some adjustment may be reasonable based on ridership.

“…but we need to try and make sure the city keeps the bus route itself in-

tact,” she said. “Having to change out at Bayshore to get to Bells Corners will be time consuming for residents.”

The CBLCA has started a Facebook group and an online petition to protect their route.

It is available at: www.ipetitions.com/petition/savethe166busroute.

The 166 would still operate, but as a pared-down route. It would only run from Bayshore to the former Nortel site and Grandview, with the 97 replacing the service it used to offer to Bell’s Corners.

Certain areas that currently have the 166 would be removed: Cedarview, Bruin, Cassidy, Northside, Larkspur, Eaton and Lynhar and the section on Moodie be-tween Fitzgerald and the former Nortel site.The 166 would not pass by Bell High School and it would have reduced hours.

Route 152 would be rerouted through the Queensway-Carleton Hospital in-stead of the Baseline-Richmond inter-section.

The city says these changes would make for a faster and more convenient trip for most riders, with fewer trans-fers. But around 215 riders who use the 166 on Bruin, Cassidy, Northside, Lark-spur, Eaton and Lynhar might have a longer walk, and 55 people who use the 166 on Moodie would also face a longer walk or an extra transfer. These savings will amount to $460,000 for the city each year.

More than 30 volunteers from across the city turned out to paint the halls of a six-storey Ottawa Community Housing (OCH) complex.

The building at 320 Wiggins Private got new paint in all the hallways.

Thanks to the help of the volun-teers, the hallways in all six storeys were painted and drying in about three-and-a-half hours.

Jo-Anne Poirier, chief executive of-fi cer of OCH, said she was heartened by the good will given by the people who came out on a Saturday.

“I would just like to publicly thank Christine (Taylor) for all of her work, it’s a great project,” she said.

The Wiggins-Private project was the second one put together by Christine Taylor, Bay Ward resident and wife of councillor Mark Taylor.

Her brainchild, year-long volunteer project and subsequent blog Year-2Give, looks at the impact a single per-son can make volunteering about 15 to

20 hours per month.The fi rst project was at the Caldwell

Family Centre — another OCH-owned social housing complex in the west end — where volunteers cleaned up a space that was secured by the centre’s executive director Jim Devoe. They also painted it and added donated DVDs, books and a TV.

Then the partnership between Tay-lor and OCH was born.

“Volunteering and community work really breeds more involvement,” De-voe said. “It’s a great project.”

Poirier said OCH pays for the paint and her and Taylor work together to decide on which projects are most needed.

“This will be a real boost for the

tenants, one of them already took the building manager aside and said the volunteers worked better than con-tractors we have had,” she said.

It ran with an almost military preci-sion, with fl oor captains and a team of volunteers on each fl oor, who got the job done quickly.

“It was really amazing,” Taylor said. “And we had people in the community bring out food for the volunteers. Ev-eryone just really pitched in.”

Taylor’s 10-year-old daughter Em-ily Audet was right in the fray paint-ing the hallways and plans to ask her friends to donate to the Ottawa Food Bank for her next birthday.

“She asked her friends to donate to the Food Bank for the fi rst time when she was six,” Taylor said, “I think she already has more volunteer hours banked than most high school stu-dents.”

While Taylor’s project is an experi-ment, she hopes to inspire people in the community to take up where she left off and make a difference in their community.

MANORDALE AND TREND-ARLINGTON

Route 172 would absorb part of Route 174 that loops through Trend Village and the Manordale area.

The 172 would instead run on Craig Henry, Greenbank, Bellman, McClel-lan, and Banner in both directions at all times. Route 172 would also change to operate along Majestic, Newhaven, Knox-dale, and Craig Henry on westbound trips in the morning peak period, eastbound trips in the afternoon peak period, and all trips at other times, which would also replace part of Route 174.

The changes aren’t likely to be popu-lar with about 600 riders who would have a longer trip on Route 172 as a result. A potential silver lining is a new connec-tion to Carlingwood and Bayshore, which might make some people’s trips more convenient.

Route 174 would become a peak-hours only route, and it would run from Green-bank along Gibbard, Knoxdale, Ne-whaven, Majestic, and Woodroffe to Base-line Station.

Riders who took the 174 north of Base-

line could take the 87 instead. That would mean an additional transfer for approxi-mately 225 people each day. Changes in this area should save the city $469,000 each year.

WEIGH IN ON THE CHANGES

The public meeting for the Central area took place at city hall on March 29, but there are still upcoming meetings in other areas of the city at which residents can address transit planning staff and councillors. People can also fi ll out com-ment forms at www.octranspo.com.

The revised changes will go to the tran-sit commission for approval on April 20. Changes would take effect on Sept. 4.

Upcoming meetings:Thursday, March 31, 7 to 9 p.m. (pre-

sentation at 8 p.m.), Nepean Sportsplex, Halls C and D, 1701 Woodroffe Ave.

Monday, April 4, 7 to 9 p.m. (presenta-tion at 8 p.m.), Jim Durrell Recreation Complex, Ellwood Hall, 1265 Walkey Rd.

Family continues search for missing teenJENNIFER MCINTOSH

[email protected]

When a distraught Michael Pineau left a party at his Chesterton Drive home on March 15, friends and roommates just thought he would cool off and be back soon.

Now that the teen has been missing has been missing for 10 days.

“He has never been gone for long pe-riods like this, Michael is a caring per-son who wouldn’t want anyone to worry about him,” his mother Liz said.

Liz, who still resides in Michael’s hometown of Mattawa, Ont. said she would stay in Ottawa with her daughter Miriam “For as long as it takes to fi nd him.”

“We have been just wowed by the sup-port we have received from people in Ot-tawa helping us in the search,” she said.

Pineau was last seen around 11 p.m. on March 15, distraught and running from his own house party heading south on Chesterton Drive between Meadowlands and Viewmount drives.

“Michael does have problems with depression and will sometimes go for a run to cool off, but he has never been gone this long,” Liz said, adding that he had a regular running route around his home that his roommates have searched exhaustively.

“They still put on their rubber boots every night and search the wooded areas where he might have gone,” she said.

Liz said Michael’s sister Miriam, who works for the City of Ottawa has gar-nered a lot of support from city staff and has posted a large map which volunteers used to identify possible search areas.

While the police are still on the case, Liz said because of the time since Mi-chael went missing police elected to not do a ground search.

“They felt it wasn’t the best use of their re-sources,” she said.

Liz also said it was impos-sible for police to do a person-ality profi le on Michael since he was intoxi-cated when he left, having drank eight or nine large cans of Molson Ca-nadian beer.

M i c h a e l was reported missing by his roommates in the early hours on March 16 but were told by police that they would have to wait 24 hours. The next morning Mir-iam was contacted and a formal report was made to police.

“My heart just dropped,” Liz said. “As a mother it is just your worst nightmare.”

Liz said she normally talks to all her children a lot and had talked to Michael two times the day he disappeared.

“He seemed in good spirits,” she said. Michael, who dropped out of Carleton

University in December, where he was studying political science and humani-ties, was looking to his future.

Liz said police found applications to community colleges — including Algon-quin — and an application to the Cana-dian Armed Forces.

“They thought that was a good sign that he was thinking forward and wasn’t in a deep depression or anything like that,” Liz said.

Pineau left the house with only $20 and his debit and credit cards. Liz said police have been monitoring his cards and have not noticed any activity since the time of his disappearance.

“They are posting pictures up at bus stations and as far away as Montreal and Toronto in case he hitched a ride,” Liz said.

Pineau is a 19-year-old, white male, 6-foot-1 and weighs 190 pounds with a medium build. He has a mole on his left cheek and was last seen wearing a grey and black winter jacket and blue jeans.

Liz said he put on his roommate’s hik-ing boot as he left and is wearing mis-matched boots.

The family is still counting on fi nding him safe and sound.

“We love him and miss him so much and want him to come back home right away,” Miriam said.

The family has started a Facebook group to organize efforts to fi nd Pineau and encourages anyone with informa-tion to contact the Ottawa police at 613-236-1222 ext. 7500, or Crime Stoppers at 613-234-8477.

Where Ottawans always stand out is when the pollster asks if they would like an election, if one hasn’t been

called, or if they are interested in the election, if one has. This is like ask-ing people at a hockey game if they are interested in the hockey game.

People elsewhere might profess a lack of interest, but politics is Ottawa’s major sport. Hockey might sometimes be considered a rival, but certainly not this year. Why would you not want another game?

While people in less enlightened parts of the country bemoan politick-ing, condemn partisanship and gener-ally dismiss the political struggles as ritual, we who live in the shadow of the Peace Tower have quite a different view. Politics gives shape to our community, meaning to our lives.

Politics affects our friendships. We all know people who work in politics — as politicians, as strategists, as volunteers, as political reports — and we know that they are real people too. Even the report-ers. They go to the church or the pub, they belong to the book club, they have kids who play hockey, they mow their lawns and shovel their snow. So even if

we don’t vote the way they do, we can suffer along with them, or take some pleasure from their triumphs.

To us, politics is not some exotic activity that other people do, like polo or wine-tasting. It is central to our life.

And central to our jobs as well. We don’t have to work in the party back-rooms for political events to shape our lives. The public service changes signifi cantly after elections. The change is not so great as in the U.S., where more top jobs are fi lled in and after elections. But top jobs do change here and the oc-cupants make their appointments and before you know it, you’ve got a new position, maybe a better one, maybe not. And your neighbour, who works for a company that supplies widgets to a government department, is all of a sud-den selling less widgets or more, depend-

ing on the political decisions somebody made somewhere up the line. The neighbour on the other side, who works for an NGO, is delighted or depressed by something the new folks have done.

Even if jobs don’t change, priorities do. More will be spent, or less. The envi-ronment is a priority, or not. Foreign aid goes up, or doesn’t. With every decision, somebody’s job description changes.

You know that, and even if you haven’t experienced it yourself, you’ve heard the muttering from your relatives, or the people next door.

The government doesn’t have to change for any of this to happen. Min-isters change and new ministers have new ideas, or no ideas at all. Even if a government wins re-election, it learns things from the campaign.

Uh-oh, the government discovers, the people want more of this and less of that. Better make it happen. In the attempt to make it happen, the woman around the corner suddenly becomes more important at work. Or the family suddenly has to sell the second car.

All of this means that politics is a spectator sport all year ’round in our town. People have to keep an eye on what’s going on. Even the most routine

exchange of rants in Question Period is going to affect someone.

But it’s at election time that the game really heats up. The election is March Madness, the Stanley Cup playoffs, the World Series. (If the analogy holds, this would make make Budget Day the equivalent of the All-Star Game, except that people actually get hurt on Budget Day.) There is real excitement. People are biting their fi ngernails. Sometimes they would bite other people, if the law allowed it.

We should never let anyone tell us that it’s not interesting. It is more than interesting. It is life or death, if life and death can be fun.

OPINION

The 41st general election is now upon us following a historic vote of non-confi -dence in the House of Commons last Friday that found the government in

contempt of Parliament.Amid the fi nger-pointing by rival politicians

who want to lay blame for who exactly triggered the election and groans from voters over wheth-er a fourth trip to the polls in seven years is even necessary at all, we should stop to remember how lucky we are to be living in Canada.

Over the past few months, our leaders have been feuding over who was responsible for writ-ing the word “not” on a government memo and whether members of the House have the right to view cabinet documents on the cost of signifi -cant military and justice programs. On the other side of the world, millions can only look on in envy that Canadians will be able to decide for themselves whether these things are important to us.

For the sea of people who gathered in Cairo’s Tahrir Square to the rebels fi ghting in across Libya to the thousands of protesters marching in the streets of Iran, Syria, Yemen and Bahrain, we are the lucky ones.

On a Monday in May, each and every Canadian voter will be able to exercise, through a small mark on their ballot, a right that remains only a dream to the people struggling for democracy in these countries.

While most Canadians will never know the hardships faced by people in places like Libya, it does the people there an incredible disservice to treat an election with contempt.

Far from being contemptible, elections provide citizens of democracies with their most mean-ingful opportunity to infl uence the course of government, at least until the next election. In contrast, the people of Egypt have waited de-cades to even win that right, let alone exercise it.

While the issues at hand in this election may be tiring to the ears of the average Canadian, this is our opportunity to decide for ourselves whether the government was in contempt, whether new fi ghter jets are worth their multi-billion-dollar price tag or whether the impact of an aging population on our health care system is being adequately addressed.

Here in Canada, we should feel lucky to be able do something others will live a lifetime without experiencing.

Every election is a privilege

Nepean teens go hungry to change the world

JENNIFER MCINTOSH

[email protected]

A group of Redeemer Christian High School students will go without food on April 8 and 9 to fi ght world hunger.

The goal this year is $18,000, one that Genevieve Barber with World Vision calls “inspiring.”

Last year, the Nepean teens managed to raise $26,787. 51 through the 30-year fam-ine.

“There are all kinds of activities, the kids really have fun with it,” teacher Ken Stevens said before last year’s event.

Started in Canada in 1971 as the brain-child of a young Calgary resident, the event has been going strong for the last 40 years.

It is now the world’s largest event to fi ght poverty and hunger. Last year more than 500,000 teens raised $30 million to

fi ght world hunger. The national goal this year is $4.65 mil-

lion. Youth can choose the cause they are most passionate about — be it clean wa-ter access, child protection, food and nu-trition or education.

World Vision fi gures show that more than 60,000 Canadian youth will be doing the Famine this year.

The money goes to developing coun-tries like North Sudan where the Famine built 20 new classrooms, provided school supplies and bought uniforms for 350 stu-dents.

In Cambodia, the Famine saved hun-dreds of exploited girls through pro-grams that guard against child traffi ck-ing and help to bring offenders to justice. In Uganda, Famine supporters fed thou-sands of starving children by providing agricultural education and farming tools to 800 families.

New pin for Cancer SocietySTAFF

The arrival of spring marks the begin-ning of the Canadian Cancer Society’s annual Daffodil Month fundraising cam-paign.

“This April, we are stepping up the fi ght by introducing a new daffodil pin

as part of our annual campaign,” said Amanda Gifford, fundraising coordina-tor for the Canadian Cancer Society for Lanark, Leeds and Grenville.

This year, the society has introduced a new daffodil pin as part of its annual campaign. For information, call 613-267-1058 or 1-800-367-2913.

Community

Community policing encourages residents’ supportDANA BARNETT

Just about every police agency in every city in the prov-ince has a different philosophy and approach to ‘commu-nity policing’.

This is not an oversight or lack of vision, but quite in-tentional, because every community is inherently different and the policing needs and priorities are equally different.

The priority for residents in one community may be drugs and prostitution while for others it could be vandal-ism or loitering.

While there may be varying opinions on how commu-nity policing should be implemented, there is always one underlying principle: the purpose of community policing

is not to place offi cers in the community to solve problems, rather to mobilize and support community members to al-low them to solve their own problems.

The Ottawa Police (OPS) community policing model in-cludes 15 Community Policing Centres (CPC) that serve as a key delivery vehicle for a suite of crime prevention initia-tives.

The Centres are part of the OPS community policing phi-losophy which considers the community to be an “active partner” in the prevention of crime.

Ottawa Deputy Police Chief Charles (Chuck) Bordeleau calls the Centres “an integral part of our community polic-ing and problem solving philosophy.”

Each Centre is staffed by a Community Policing Centre

Offi cer (CPCO) who leads a dedicated group of vol-unteers in the delivery of various crime preven-tion programs such as Business Crime Prevention, Child Print, Home Security Inspections and Opera-tion Identifi cation.

Depending on the training of the volunteer, these community members do everything from answer-ing questions about the police service and crime statistics to fi ngerprinting children to identify the child if they were to become missing, to conducting home safety inspections that can help make homes less susceptible to criminal activity.

Working at the centre is an opportunity for vol-unteers to work in their community and with their community, to keep it safe for everyone.

A common misconception with the CPCs is that they are mini police stations intended to provide the same service as a regular station.

While some of the CPCs are in fact attached to a police station, such as the case at Greenbank station in Nepean and the new Huntmar station in Kanata, the centres themselves are actually not equipped to perform services such as criminal records check, police records checks or obtaining a police report. These can only be performed at a police station.

In addition to providing a ‘hub’ for information dissemination on crime prevention initiatives, the CPCs serve as a focal point for police offi cers to assist the public with problem solving in their as-signed neighbourhoods.

Working directly in the community can also work towards reducing the number of low priority calls that patrol offi cers respond to.

Constable Lori Fahey from the Parkwood Hills CPC on Meadowlands Dr. knows the power of being proactive with crime in the community.

Occasionally Constable Lahey will work with Property Managers and Bylaw services to resolve ongoing disputes between neighbours or to inves-tigate complaints of suspicious criminal activity that could potentially result in a 911 call.

“Being proactive is a great opportunity to pre-vent a possible escalation.” She said, and added that the presence of an offi cer as an authoritative and competent third party lends credibility to the problem solving process.

It really doesn’t matter how you defi ne or struc-ture a community policing program; the effective words are always ‘community’ and ‘policing’.

The Ottawa police are committed to ongoing im-provements to the program by integrating the use of social media like Facebook and Twitter, and fur-ther collaboration with community partners, but ultimately the quality of living and safety of the residents in any community requires the willing-ness of residents themselves to be actively involved in the process.

Communication is priceless. With it, we connect with our world on a daily basis. Unfortunately, even the slightest hearing loss can be a signifi cant obstacle resulting in social isolation. Interactions are hindered as speech becomes diffi cult to understand, loved ones become mumblers, punch lines are missed and repeating becomes a nuisance. Untreated hearing loss can also lead to diminished cognitive abilities. Indeed, untreated hearing loss has a great impact on one’s quality of life. Selecting the right hearing healthcare provider is crucial.

Rosanne McNamee, Doctor of Audiology, Registered Audiologist, is the owner of Hearing Solutions Clinic. After a year away for a maternity leave, Rosanne is back to celebrate the 10th year of her practice! This 10 year success undoubtedly stems from the fact that Hearing Solutions Clinic offers a kind of hearing healthcare that is lacking elsewhere in Ottawa. At Hearing Solutions Clinic you won’t hear an offi ce jingle, fi nd crowded waiting rooms, be lured by marketing schemes or feel the pressure of sales tactics. Instead, you will fi nd a clinic with old fashion roots where hearing healthcare is the priority, not hearing aid sales. It is large enough to offer amazing service yet small enough to allow for more personal professional relationships. With such a strong focus on patient care, Rosanne strives to offer every patient nothing but the best. ‘’I believe in treating others the way I would want to be treated, so I care for my patients as I would family. I give everyone 100 percent of myself as we work together to reach their hearing goals.’’ explains Rosanne.

This personalized hearing healthcare approach differs from the larger hearing clinics and hearing chains. Unfortunately, patients there may be shuffl ed between staff, rushed through consultations and offered a limited choice of hearing aid models. At Hearing Solutions Clinic, the same Audiologist always takes her time to really listen to and understand your concerns. This is followed by the luxury of being able to choose from an unlimited range of the most up-to-date products thereby guaranteeing a hearing solution that is unique to you, your lifestyle and your hearing needs. “It would not be in my patient’s best interest for the clinic to carry only one line of products or even just a few favored manufacturers. It is important to consider all the options across all of the manufacturers because products vary greatly -from a variety of noise reduction systems to different remote options, from rechargeable hearing aids to open ear products and Bluetooth capabilities.’’ explains Rosanne, ‘’Furthermore, hearing aids may not always be the best or only solution. We therefore also carry a wide variety of assistive listening devices.’’ By remaining independent, private, as well as locally owned and operated, Hearing Solutions Clinic has no manufacturer limitations

and very competitive prices.

Despite Hearing Solutions Clinic’s ongoing growth, Rosanne protects the special quality of her clinic by hiring professionals that honor her traditional caring views. The Hearing Solutions Clinic team currently consists of two Doctors of Audiology, Rosanne as well as Maria Perez. Both are very diligent at keeping Hearing Solutions Clinic up to date in technology and practice. Consequently, you receive the service of professionals who are not only top in their fi eld, but who pride themselves on offering quality products and the highest standard of care. Dorothy Johnson, the receptionist, completes the team. Her forte is her accommodating and pleasant manner. Like Rosanne and Maria, Dorothy always has your best interest at heart. Together, the members of this team enable Hearing Solutions Clinic to be more effi cient than ever without straying from the core values, beliefs and principles that created Hearing Solutions Clinic a decade ago.

For unparalleled personalized hearing healthcare, book your consultation with one of our Doctors of Audiology at Hearing Solutions Clinic,conveniently located at 1915 Baseline Rd, suite 202 (across from Home Depot) where parking is free! You are also welcome to come meet our team during one of our upcoming hearing aid demonstration days which will be held Wednesday, April 13th as well as Thursday, April 14th.

Either way, you are sure to be impressed.

For Luminita Serbanescu it’s all about her, or her characters.

The artist from Transylvania transplanted to Ne-pean, said that her new exhibit Me, Me, Me at the Atrium Gallery at Ben Franklin Place is about how people are true to themselves.

The medium is acrylic on canvas, but rather de-cidedly shows a series of characters so absorbed in their activities that they ignore the outside world.

“What you see is like a spot of colour with the main subjects and then everyone else is just out-lined or sketch,” Serbanescu said. “So to the people in the painting everyone around them is just like ghosts.”

The show has 27 pieces. It started March 25 and will run to April 25.

The verssinage is set to take place on April 5 at 6 p.m.

Serbanescu said while she had some pieces com-pleted before the exhibit opened, she worked like a dog in the few months before to get everything ready when some of the pieces she planned on us-ing.

Serbanescu is all consumed with her art and can become obsessed with an image until she puts it down on paper.

For example, Serbanescu said that she became obsessed until she found a way to convey the Adam Lambert song Strut on a paper. Inspiration fi nally came when she saw a performer one her fi rst Carib-bean cruise.

“She really had the strut,” Serbanescu said. When an idea comes out on canvass Serbanescu

said she gets a feeling of accomplishment. “Sometimes it doesn’t come out right and I have

to leave it for awhile, or re-paint over the canvass and do something else,” she said.

Serbanescu said she has had showings at the Nepean Creative Arts Centre and the Table Restau-rant on Wellington Street, but she really likes the open space design of the Atrium Gallery.

“Any time Parliament Hill sneezes, Ot-tawa catches a cold.”

With that, Mayor Jim Watson de-scribed the impact to the City of Ottawa of changes at the federal level.

With the country now mired in a feder-al election, the mayor said he will sit back and not take sides in local campaigns.

Watson, who has served as a Liberal MPP and cabinet minister at the provin-cial level, said the snap federal election won’t have much of an impact on the city’s business, but a government town like Ottawa will be abuzz with election talk until Canadians head to the polls on May 2.

The city will still receive all of the funding the Conservative government committed as its share of Ottawa’s infra-structure projects, including the city’s light-rail transit plan.

Despite his previous involvement in party politics, Watson said that as mayor, it is not his place to take sides in a federal election.

“My role is to do my best to stay neu-tral, but to make sure that the citizens

know what issues are important from our perspective,” Watson said.

While he won’t be coming out in sup-port of any specifi c candidates, Watson said he will make his views on the differ-ent party platforms known in terms of how they could impact the city.

“I think the public expects some in-sight from our municipal leaders to en-sure that our interests are taken care of,” Watson said.

The Conservative government fell on Friday, March 25 after Members of Par-liament voted 156 to 145 in favour of a non-confi dence motion. It was the fi rst time in Canadian – and Commonwealth – history that a government fell because it was found to be in contempt of Parlia-ment.

Opposition parties accused the Conser-vative government of fl outing the rules

of Parliament by refusing to fully dis-close the cost of its tough-on-crime agen-da, corporate tax cuts and plans to pur-chase stealth fi ghter jets. The contempt issue also stemmed from International Co-operation Minister Bev Oda mislead-ing Parliament on the issue of cutting funding to KAIROS, a religious organiza-tion that promotes social change.

The election wasn’t offi cially called until the next day, when Prime Minister Stephen Harper asked Governor General David Johnston to dissolve Parliament, making the May 2 election offi cial.

It will be Canada’s fourth election in seven years thanks to a series of minor-ity governments.

As Conservative, Liberal, NDP and Green party leaders hit the election trail, Ottawans wait to hear from the candi-dates in their local ridings.

Let us – and your political leaders – know what issues matter in your com-munity during this election. Send let-ters to [email protected] and tell us what you want to hear from political candidates as you prepare to head to the polls.

In the riding of Ottawa-West Nepean, the following candidates are registered:

John Baird (Conservative); Anita Van-denbeld (Liberal); Marlene Rivier (NDP) and Mark Mackenzie (Green Party).

The district includes the neighbour-hoods of Shirleys Bay, Crystal Beach, Rocky Point, Bayshore, Britannia, Bri-tannia Bay, Lincoln Heights, Whitehaven, Glabar Park, Queensway, Highland Park, Kenson Park, Redwood, Graham Park, Qualicum, Leslie Park, Briar Green, Cen-trepointe, Woodroffe, Bel-Air Park, Bel-Air Heights, Braemar Park, Copeland Park, Navaho, City View, Ryan Farm, Skyline, Fisher Heights, Parkwood Hills, Carleton Heights, Fisher Glen, Borden Farm, Crestview, Meadowlands, High-land Park, Woodpark, and the western half of Carlington in the City of Ottawa.

Baird has held the riding since 2006, when Liberal Marlene Caterall stepped aside.

In the riding of Nepean-Carleton, the following candidates are registered: Pierre Poilievre (Conservative); Ryan Keon (Liberal); Ric Dagenais (NDP) and Jean-Luc Cooke (Green Party).

Poilievre has held the seat since 2004 and captured almost 56 per cent of the vote in the last election.

Bob Chiarelli, MPP for Ottawa West-Nepean, met with local Somali-Canadian youth on March 27 to talk about employment, education, and health care.

More than 60 youth, along with parents and support workers, attended the Somali Youth Support Project fo-rum at the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa.

The youth worked in small groups to brainstorm and identify the top issues they face in their community, then

presented and discussed their ideas with Chiarelli.“It is important for our youth’s voices to be heard

in the political process and in our community. I was impressed with the level of engagement at the Somali Youth Support Project forum,” Chiarelli said. ”

Top issues discussed by the youth included access to employment, post-secondary education, and skills and apprenticeship training. Many of the youth, aged 12 to 24, discussed how they are looking for professional net-works to access job opportunities matching their level

of education.“Our youth group is excited to have MPP Chiarelli

here with today’s youth leaders. It’s a great opportunity to share our perspective on issues important to us,” said Hana Ismail, 15, member of the Somali Youth Support Project

In a presentation to the youth group, Chiarelli ex-plained his role as the local representative to the Gov-ernment of Ontario and discussed ways in which youth can continue to be engaged in their community.

‘Shotgun’ video given nod by commission

JENNIFER MCINTOSH

[email protected]

A video named “Shotgun” was given the nod by the city’s transit commission on March 23 for conveying the importance of priority seating on buses.

The Cooperative Seating Vid-eo Contest was a partnership between OC Transpo and Al-gonquin College — where stu-dents from the television broad-casting and public relations programs were challenged with creating videos and marketing them to raise awareness of the issue.

Mitchel Kajiura, the producer and star of the video Shotgun, said he got the idea from travel-ling around with his friends.

“I am usually the one who is giving everyone the rides so I was really copying what a lot of my friends do,” he said. “I want-ed it to be entertaining.”

In the video, Kajiura tries to ride “shotgun” in all of his friends’ cars until he ultimately turned out of the priority seat-ing on a bus by people more de-serving of the seat.

The 10 students on the win-ning team each received a semester bus pass from OC Transpo.

Kajiura said the television broadcasting students came up with the videos and then teamed up with public relations students who tried to promote the video and garner hits on

YouTube. In the fi rst couple of weeks of

the contest, the video already had more than 3,000 hits.

The public has been able to view all 10 videos on YouTube and vote for their favourite at octranspo.com. The top three videos were “Don’t let courtesy become a thing of the past,” “Stand up for those who can’t” and “Shotgun.” To date the vid-eos have received more than 20,000 views.

Jeremy Atherton, an instruc-tor in the television broadcast-ing course, said that the project was a good fi t for the fi nal term because it taught students how to tailor a project to a client’s needs and work to a deadline.

“There were a lot of great ideas,” he said.

A panel of judges made up of CTV community ambassador Max Keeping, Andrew Milne — CEO of the web marketing fi rm bvO2 Inc. and OC Transpo’s general manager Alain Mercier evaluated the videos based on quality, messaging and online success.

“The cooperative seating pro-gram was launched last year to encourage customers to provide seats at the front of the bus for those who need them most,” Mercier said in a press release. “Partnering with the students at Algonquin College was a great opportunity to engage this com-munity and create videos that benefi t our customers.”

Bell High School students inspired by spirit of unity

JENNIFER MCINTOSH

[email protected]

Children at Bell High School got a chance to see how they could be the change they want to see in the world thanks to the Unity for Change speaking tour by Free the Children.

The school was one of hun-dreds nationwide that applied to have the workshop at their school.

Lakmini Ebbinghaus, a con-sultant with Investors Group who sponsors the speaking tour, was the one who ultimately rec-ommended Bell.

“They are a very culturally diverse school and they are already doing work to build a school in Africa, plus they have a great character education piece in their curriculum,” she said, adding that she asked her daughter to evaluate the materi-al to see if it would work there.

“She goes to Bell, so I wanted to see if she thought it was a good fi t,” Ebbinghaus said.

The presentation is in two parts with multimedia material from presenters with Free the Children. The talks include per-sonal stories about volunteer-ism at the global level.

The intent is to show stu-dents how they can make a dif-ference.

“We were so impressed with the engagement after the talk,”

Ebbinghaus said. “Usually it’s about 10 per cent of the student body, but we ran out of material and had to leave some in the of-fi ce. There were hundreds of kids lined up after looking for more information.”

After the presentation, 25 of Bell’s best students were se-lected to lead workshops about activism and volunteerism.

Following the day, the school will receive a resource offi cer courtesy of Free the Children and Investors Group to help stu-dents identify and reach goals in global volunteering initia-tives.

“Investors Group really looks at the whole picture when it comes to fi nancial develop-ment,” Ebbinghaus said. “That’s

why we linked up with Free the Children, because when they approach a project they look at the whole picture — education, income generation and things like clean water.”

Free the Children is the world’s largest network of children helping children with more than one million youth involved in their education and development programs in 45 countries. It was founded by in-ternational child rights activist Craig Kielburger in 1995, at the age of 12, when he gathered 11 school friends to begin fi ghting child labour.

This year’s edition of the Ot-tawa Folk Festival will see a new format and venue for the popular concert event.

The festival, which had been held at the west-end Britannia Park for 16 of its fi rst 17 years, will move to Hog’s Back Park, and will run over four days from Aug. 25 to 28.

“We thought we can attract more people by moving into a more central location,” said festival supervisor Mark Mo-nahan.

Monahan said the new venue will be easier to access by public transit.

“We wanted to come up with a better location that can be served by public transit and al-low people to use their other means since Hog’s Back is right on the bike path,” he said.

The relocation, according to

Monahan, is imperative to so-lidify the festival’s future as is the addition of a fourth day to the lineup.

“We felt that in order to make the festival viable, we might as well do four days of program-ming instead of three and also add a new location,” Monahan said.

The plan is intended to meet the needs of the festival’s exist-ing patrons with its central loca-tion and to attract and develop new audiences by showcasing one of Ottawa’s more beauti-ful public parks, adjacent to the stunning Ottawa landmark known as Hog’s Back Falls.

“Our feedback was that the

public wanted more diversifi ed programming and this will give us an opportunity to do that,” Monahan noted.

The festival lineup will be unveiled on May 25, with tick-ets going on sale to the general public on Saturday, May 28. This will be preceded by a special pre-sale for Ottawa Folk Festi-

val insiders. The festival is a celebration

of music, dance, visual arts and community, featuring an eclec-tic mix of musical performanc-es, plus participatory music workshops, special children’s and family performances, well-ness activities, beer gardens, ar-tisan and craft vendors.

Folk Festival making move to Hog’s Back Park

CHEO lotteryEDDIE RWEMA

[email protected]

A luxury cottage, $1 million in cash, a new Chevrolet Cama-ro and $5,000 in free gas is what awaits the winner of the 2011 Ot-tawa Hospital and CHEO lottery, which was launched on March 21.

The lottery, now in its fourth year, will raise much-needed funds to help both hospitals. Pri-or to this year, both the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario and the Ottawa Hospital held their own lotteries.

A model cottage has been placed at the corner of Innes and Cyrville roads in Gloucester for the public to visit between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. during the week or from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on week-ends.

The house is 1500 square feet with a screened porch and timber frame accents.

The money raised will go to-wards the purchase of a robotic da Vinci Surgical System for the Ottawa Hospital, to help patients with multiple sclerosis.

CHEO’s portion of the fund-raising will be used for a number of small machines or one large project yet to be determined.

“We live in a great community where people wish to give back to the hospitals and being involved with this project it gives them that opportunity to do so,” said Lebrun. “It’s been great working with all of them again this year.”

Tickets — $100 each or three for $250 — are on sale at the model cottage, online at weallwin.ca or by calling 613-730-4946.

Aspiring artist takes sketchy ride on OC TranspoJENNIFER MCINTOSH

[email protected]

Lia Hiltz, a west-end mom and foreign service offi cer, com-mutes to work every day on the bus, sometimes as much as an hour-and-a-half each way.

To mitigate the frustration of the commute, Hiltz — a wan-nabe artist — has decided to sketch her fellow passengers.

As the relatively new mom of a 19-month-old, Hiltz said she started drawing on the bus in 2007, but began in earnest six months ago when she returned to work from maternity leave.

Now she has a bus blog, where she posts her work and details of her travels, something she says motivates her.

“With a full work day and a toddler at home, the time on the bus was really the only time I had to work on my art,” said Hiltz, who commutes from her home in College Ward to down-town every day.

But she simply has to draw. Hiltz attended an arts high

school in Toronto similar to Canterbury and has a Masters in creative literature. She said she has had art in her life in one form or another since she was

young.Hiltz said the drawing has re-

ally helped turn the negative ex-perience of being on the bus for long periods into something she sees as a positive.

“Sometimes when I have had a tough day I can’t wait to get

on the bus and start drawing,” Hiltz said.

So, armed with a fi ve by eight inch moleskine notebook, Hiltz looks for interesting passengers to sketch, while trying to remain as inconspicuous as possible.

“I don’t really want to get

caught and make people feel un-comfortable so the people I draw may not be my fi rst choice in terms of interest because I am limited but whoever I choose ul-timately becomes interesting to me as I draw,” she said.

Her subject matter varies

wildly from feet to handbags and she fi nds beauty sometimes in the smallest things.

Hiltz has even adapted her drawing still to accommodate the bumps and shuffl es during her ride.

One drawing took her four separate trips the other day as she was moved from one articu-lated bus to another.

“In that case I make a compos-ite of the people I see,” she said. “And I make my lines wobbly on purpose to accommodate the movement.”

Hiltz would one day like to have a showing of her work and possibly get a bunch of artists together to create an homage to OC commuters.

“I just think it would be really neat to have something on the bus ads, like the Transpoetry, but dedicated to the riders,” she said. “I think the employees might really like to see repre-sentations of the people they help everyday. We’re talking about a metal tube with dozens of people squished into it. And it repeats a thousand times a day.

“It’s the riders who make it work. It’s riders who keep the bus calm, quiet and friendly.”

Lia Hiltz (bottom left) is a sketch artist who has found a way to pass her time while riding the bus.

City Hall

City spending more for less LAURA MUELLER

[email protected]

Ottawa will be spending more on tech-nology this year, but the city is streamlin-ing the number of projects it takes on.

Instead of spreading its $41-million budget too thinly, the city’s information technology department will focus on 61 projects this year, down from the 131 it had originally planned to tackle.

In a year when departments were told to keep budget increases below 2.5 per cent to avoid large tax increases, the IT department received an additional $1 mil-lion this year.

Much of the $15 million that is sup-posed to go towards new technologies will be spent on the Service Ottawa initiative – a fi ve-year plan that will make many of the city’s services, from arena bookings to purchasing parking passes, available online.

Another large undertaking is the city’s fi ver-year technology roadmap, which will modernize aging technology and free up the IT department’s resources to focus on new initiatives, instead of maintain-ing the crumbling, labour-intensive tech-nologies that are being used today.

Right now, a great deal of the IT depart-ment’s resources are spent maintaining the city’s aging technology, said Coun. Tim Tierney (Beacon Hill-Cyrville), who chairs the city’s IT subcommittee.

“Service Ottawa is receiving a very large capital investment, and that is go-

ing to allow us to build a foundation that this enormous infrastructure will be built on,” said Fraser Hirsch, manager of information security and project services for the city.

“We have an infrastructure just like the roads people have an infrastructure. Ours just happens to be a superhighway, and we need to invest in that.”

Other priorities include ensuring the city’s credit- and debit-card payment prac-tices comply with industry standards for data security, and investing in the city’s “open data” initiative.

The city’s IT subcommittee heard about the changes on March 21, but a full list describing all 61 projects was not yet available at the time of the meeting.

That didn’t sit well with former IT sub-committee chair, Coun. Marianne Wilkin-son (Kanata North), who wanted to see a full list of the 61 projects.

“I think it’s important that we have some idea of what we’re working on,” Wilkinson said.

The current chair of the committee, Tierney, said he has been working with staff to create a list that all members of the committee will be able to understand. That list should be ready in time for the next IT subcommittee meeting, he said.

Tierney said the committee will be get-ting a detailed list at its third meeting of the year and of this term of council – a list that had not existed previously dur-ing the Wilkinson’s tenure as chair (the committee was created last spring).

Curling with a twist: City View club opens its doors to the blind DANIEL NUGENT-BOWMAN

[email protected]

It begins and ends the same way any day on a curling sheet regularly would.

There’s the camaraderie among friends, the banter and good-natured rib-bing throughout, and, of course, a few cold ones afterwards.

But it’s what goes on in between that makes a Wednesday afternoon at City View Curling Club so unique.

Members of the Ottawa Blind Curlers have taken to the ice every mid-week af-ternoon for the past few winters at the old Nepean facility, just as they did on March 23.

Teams are split up based on players’ ability and amount of eyesight and away they go.

But aside from the nuances and amount of time it takes to play the sport without sight, the curling experience remains the same.

First at the scene, as always, is Kana-ta’s Peter Henry – a player who is com-pletely blind – with his guide dog right beside him. Fresh off a trip to the Ontar-io Blind Provincial Curling Tournament in Oshawa, Ont., Henry was raring to go.

The provincials didn’t go according to plan for Henry – whose rink consists of skip Joseph Wirvin, fellow Kanata resi-dent and third Alan Farough and second Tad Skalski – as he failed to capture a third-straight gold medal in the recre-

ational division after a 1-2 round-robin record.

He was trying to correct the line and weight of his stones at City View, to lim-ited success.

“It gets frustrating when I’m not do-ing well,” Henry said, who cannot sweep because of liability issues. “If I’m not getting them in play, I’m not helping the team.”

“They’re really competitive,” Maurice Lachance added. “They’re just like you and me.”

Lachance is a coach who is certifi ed by the Ontario Curling Association and still a practising curler at the Royal Canadian Navy Curling Club at Dows Lake.

He heard about blind curling through a woman he worked with about six years ago and fi gured, if blind people could do it, he’d love to help them.

Lachance uses a lighted broom and stands a couple metres in front of the players – acting as a guide – so those with some vision will have an idea of where they should be throwing their stones.

“You feel that you’re doing something valuable for people who love the sport,” Lachance said after voicing his construc-tive criticism. “I probably get more sat-isfaction than they do when they make a good draw or a takeout.”

For those with no vision like Henry and Roger Gervais, Lachance will have to stand behind them and line them up initially.

Because of the delays, the teams play six ends as opposed to eight in most rec-reational or high-school games or 10 in the pros. Games usually last a couple of hours because of all the constant com-munication and travel across the ice to see the stones in the house.

Gervais, who lost his eyesight when he

was 19, decided to try the sport in 1993 when a friend had to twist his arm.

Now as another year wraps up, he said he wished the season would continue on into the summer.

“I wouldn’t want to miss this for any-thing,” he said. “I wish it would last an-other two months.”
