Fire fi ghters work to put out a fully engulfed truck on Mitch Owens Road on May 6.

Jennifer [email protected]

News - No one was injured in a truck fi re that stopped rush hour traffi c on Mitch Owens Road May 6.

A truck, hauling a fi fth wheel trailer fi lled with four horses and a dog, burst into fl ames, but the driver and four-legged passengers were able to make it to safety and watched from the MacEwen’s gas station on

the corner of Albion Road and Mitch Owens.

“The only injury was a dog with singed fur,” Ottawa Fire Services spokesperson Marc Messier said. “EMS (emergen-cy medical services) treated the dog.”

The fi re department doesn’t investigate single-vehicle fi res, so there’s no offi cial cause, but Messier said there have been cases of oil on a car’s manifold

or overheated brakes causing a vehicle to burst into fl ames.

“The truck was a complete loss and the trailer was signifi -cantly damaged,” Messier said.

Smoke billowed out from the burning truck and was vis-ible from the Rideau Carleton Raceway.

Police were on scene and had closed Mitch Owens from Stagecoach Road to Bank Street. Traffi c was being redi-

rected through the parking lot of the MacEwen’s.

The road was reopened once it was cleared of the truck and the debris.

Messier said it didn’t take long for fi refi ghters to extin-guish the blaze.

They arrived on scene at 5:47 p.m.

Messier estimates the dam-age to be approximately $50,000.

News - Local community resource centres met at the

Greely Community Centre on May 3 to talk about how they serve their rural residents.

Representatives from Ne-pean, Rideau and Osgoode

Community Resource Centre, the Western Ottawa Commu-nity Resource Centre, East-ern Ottawa Resource Centre and the Orléans-Cumberland

Community Resource Centre were on hand to talk about a strategy that would be unique to rural communities.

“Whether it’s seniors who can no longer drive to get gro-ceries or high school students who can’t access services, we need to look what at we do well and what we can do bet-ter,” said Larissa Silver with Western Ottawa.

Julie McKercher, who is a dedicated rural community de-veloper that works exclusively within the catchment of Carp, West Carleton and Constance Bay said she started working with the Constance Bay Com-munity Association on access to fresh produce.

“Because they are in the rural area one would assume that access would be readily available,” she said. “But that wasn’t the case. A lot of peo-ple were using the food bank and there isn’t a local grocery store or gas station.”

The resource centre helped to work out a good food box program that is now very well used.

Ken Hoffman, from One World Inc. – a consulting com-pany that worked with the re-

source centres on developing the strategies – said Ottawa has particular challenges be-cause some issues are unique to a rural setting, but a lot of the decisions are made in the rural area.

Sylvie McGee, who has at-tended several meetings con-cerning the Carp Road dump, said the problem is the city makes rules which affect the rural communities but don’t necessarily make sense in that climate.

“I think we often forget about the rural, rural people,” McGee said, adding she mar-ried into a family that has lived on their current lot for seven generations.

Her mother-in-law is in her 90s and she often doesn’t learn about meetings or ser-vices because she doesn’t use the internet.

MOVING FORWARD

To best advocate for their residents, community resource centres need to help facilitate communication and share in-formation to residents, Jean Johnston-McKitterick, one of the candidates for Osgoode

Ward, said. There are 90,000 residents

in rural Ottawa and 60 com-munity associations.

“It’s about the size of Kingston,” McKercher said, adding the combined voices may help add numbers to any given issue.

One example brought up was the city’s policies on sev-erance, which prevents a lot of rural residents from splitting and building on their land.

Another issue was the lack of places for older rural residents to go if they want to downsize.

Emma Wallace, who at-tended Osgoode Township High School, said a lot of her friends are fi nding it diffi cult to maintain their ties with the community because their par-ents have to move into the ur-ban area when they get older.

“Is there any way the re-source centres can help us look at development within our own community?” one resident asked, suggested resi-dents might be able to offer unique insight on what sort of housing or other development is needed.

News - The Township of Osgoode Care Centre added another leaf on the Giving Tree on May 7.

Mike O’Sullivan, president of the Metcalfe Lions Club was on hand to donate $1,000 from the club on behalf of the late Lou Withnall.

Withnall, who passed away in November after a battle with oral cancer, was a long-time member and treasurer for the club.

“He was a big supporter of the care centre,” O’Sullivan said, adding Withnall had sat on the care centre’s board of directors.

O’Sullivan said there are 1.3 million Lions in 207 countries worldwide.

The Metcalfe Lions Club gives money to a lot of local healthcare initiatives – namely the Canadian National Institute for the Blind.

“Helen Keller challenged as to be the Knights for the blind in the darkness,” O’Sullivan said.

Wendy Hill, the outreach director for the care centre said the Lions Club also donated $10,000 to the centre last year.

The care centre was built in the ’80s and is in need of a new roof, a new generator, tables and chairs for the dining room and other fur-nishings and medical equipment.

In a little more than a year, the care centre has reached $255,000 – more than half of the $500,000 goal.

Hill said staff is currently getting prices

for the roof, as well as new wardrobes for the residents’ rooms. They’re also considering a new sign for the front.

Hill said there will be another major fund-raising event for the care centre held on Sept. 6 but wouldn’t say what the event is or where it will be held.

Metcalfe Lions Club president Mike O’Sullivan pins a leaf to the donation tree at the Township of Osgoode Care Centre on May 7. O’Sullivan donated $1,000 to the centre on behalf of deceased Lion Lou Withnall.

Recently, TransCanada returned to the Ottawa area, in North Gower this time, to discuss ourproposed Energy East Pipeline project with the community. Our team listened as communitymembers shared their thoughts on topics that ranged from pipeline integrity and water protectionto natural gas prices and emergency response planning.

First, we’d like to say thank you for welcoming us back into your community. These events andthe feedback we receive are a large part of our public engagement program and somethingTransCanada takes very seriously. If it’s important to you, then it’s important to us. We alsowant to ensure that everyone has the facts about these important topics. Here are a few keyanswers to the most common questions we heard from North Gower residents:

• Special measures will be adopted to ensure the protection of local water resources including using thicker-walled pipeand placing extra sensors and valves closer together in these sensitive areas.

• The pipeline will be monitored 24 hours a day from our state-of-the-art control centre with the ability to shut it downin minutes anywhere along the route. Trained crews and specialized equipment will be strategically placed along thepipeline to respond quickly if needed.

• TransCanada is committed to ensuring there is enough pipeline capacity to meet the current and future needs of naturalgas consumers. The cost of supplying natural gas to Ontario and Quebec markets will not go up as a result of Energy East.

I have been with TransCanada for 23 years and am very proud of our safety record and the people who work each day touphold it. Thank you once again for hosting us and sharing your thoughts. We appreciate your hospitality and look forwardto meeting with you again very soon. Please visit our website at EnergyEastPipeline.com for more information.

Sincerely,

John Van Der PutVice-President, Energy East Pipeline Project



Community organizations take the stage during

Doors Open Ottawa 2014By: Jenna Guilbeault

The Bethany Hope Centre, Youville Centre, and Waupoos Family Farm are three non-profit organizations with two things in common. First, and most important, they are all community organizations that focus on helping various at risk groups within the Ottawa area. Second, all three organizations will be opening their doors to the public this year during Ottawa’s annual architectural event, Doors Open Ottawa (DOO), taking place June 7 and 8 across the city.

Located at 150 Mann Avenue in Ottawa’s Sandy Hill neighbourhood, the Youville Centre is a community non-profit organization that has been around for 27 years. It operates through public funding and devoted donors, and strives to help young mothers by providing a quality education, good nutrition, and encouraging support to both mother and child. “Our mandate is to motivate, educate and nurture,” says Heather Heagney, the centre’s Communication and Community Developer. To date, the centre has helped approximately 800 young mothers, serving 48 women at a time and seeing on average a graduating class of 20. But the Youville Centre does not only serve mothers; it also offers weekly support groups and individual counselling for young fathers. This is the organization’s second year participating in the event, and is within close proximity of other DOO participants such as the Embassy of Algeria, Diane A. Gagné Financial Services, and Laurier House National Historic Site. Heagney says, “We want to increase our visibility in the Ottawa community so that people can come and see the work that we’re doing.”

With its new location at 820 Woodroffe Avenue, the Bethany Hope Centre strives to help young women and their children who are limited both financially and educationally. Mainly fostered by the Salvation Army, their community services focus on health, nutrition, early childhood development, education, counselling, and practical supports. Spokesperson for the Bethany Hope Centre, Major Brenda Coles, stated “We are really proud of our new centre. We used to be located on Wellington Street in a 100 year old building, and through the sale of that we were able to totally refit and renovate this new site into a place really designed for young parents and families.” It has been a year since the centre relocated, and now offers daily activities for kids, as well as different courses for mothers and fathers to help empower them as parents. This will be the first time Bethany Hope Centre opens its doors for the architectural event celebrating Ottawa’s historically, culturally, functionally, and architecturally significant buildings. “There’s lots of light and warmth, and that’s the first thing people will notice.”

Heading further south, the Waupoos Family Farm provides vacations for low income families who are unable to afford a getaway. The farm’s parent organization, the Waupoos Foundation, originated in Picton, Ontario in 1975, and was founded by Father Fred Magee and friends. Located on Waupoos Island, the Oblate Family Farm facilities expanded to the Ottawa area in 1980, taking residence at 2050 Rideau Road in what was once considered the municipality of Gloucester. The organization is a Christ-centered community, integrating prayer, work, and play in activities while providing vacations to families in need. Lee-Ann Garcia, who works at the farm, said “We have a lot to offer. We organize bingo nights, movie nights, game nights, crafts and even wagon rides for the families.” Their motto is “Pray, work and play!” The organization is funded by community partners and private donations, and offers full week summer vacations and year-round weekend getaways to families meeting the low-income cut off criteria. “Doors Open coincides with our summer kick off, so that weekend we’ll have lots of activities planned and the animals will be out for the public to enjoy,” said Garcia.

Now in its 13th consecutive year, Doors Open Ottawa welcomes the public to visit 130 buildings for free during the two-day event. A combination of guided and self-guided tours will be offered at each building, and representatives will be present to answer any questions. If transportation is an issue, environmentally-friendly transportation options are available. The free Doors Open Ottawa Shuttle Bus, sponsored by the Ottawa Citizen, will travel within proximity of nearly 50 sites, and Ottawa Cycling Tours is offering guided and self-guided Doors Open Ottawa themed tours. It will be a weekend full of discovery!

News - The city’s transportation commit-tee has given weight to the Manotick Village and Community Association’s concerns about short-term thinking fouling up a plan to ease the travel of north-south traffi c on First Line and Prince of Wales.

The committee directed city staff to consid-er building a roundabout to connect First Line Road to Prince of Wales Drive sooner than 2031 – which is the earliest the city planned to build it – instead of installing a traffi c light at First Line and Bankfi eld Road as a short-term solution to improve traffi c fl ow.

The community association agrees that the long-term plan to add a new, three-legged roundabout to connect First Line Road to Prince of Wales Drive south of Bankfi eld Road would improve traffi c fl ow in the area. But a short-term solution already on the books could be a “fl y in the ointment,” said association president Klaus Beltzner.

As early as 2015, the city plans to budget money for a new traffi c signal where First Line currently meets Bankfi eld. That would solve the short-term problem of getting people from First Line Road to Bankfi eld in order to connect with Prince of Wales to continue on their jour-ney north. But the traffi c signal would eventu-ally need to be taken out after 2031, when the roundabout is planned to be built as part of a larger project to re-align Greenbank Road.

Spending money on that traffi c signal now just means the city farther away from the long-term solution it wants: the roundabout, Beltzner told the transportation committee on May 7.

“Implementing the signalization fi rst is not

part of the plan and would have to be removed at a later date,” Beltzner said. “That actually has potential to make the problem worse.”

His argument got a boost in the form of a motion from Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt. The committee supported Moffatt’s plan to ask city staff to look at advancing the construction of the First Line-Prince of Wales roundabout by re-allocating the money for the traffi c signal to the roundabout project.

Moffatt also asked city staff to consider the impact on Viewbank Road, which could be seen as a convenient cut-through for motorists if they are stuck in traffi c on the new Greenbank Road.“(Viewbank) is not much more than just a little path through the rural area,” Moffatt said. “We need to discourage that cut-through.”

Staff was directed to consult with residents on that street to see what types of traffi c mitiga-tion measure could be put in place.

GREENBANK REALINGMENT

The First Line-Prince of Wales roundabout is being built in addition to a larger, four-legged roundabout at the Prince of Wales and Bank-

fi eld.The roundabouts are part of a larger plan to

realign Greenbank Road sometime after 2031, but the study was expanded south to the Prince of Wales corridor to account for the impact of residents coming to approximately 1,800 new homes in the Minto Mahogany development.

The study looked at how to accommodate new development planned for the expanded ur-ban boundary in the area.

Engineers recommended the extension of a realigned Greenbank Road as a four-lane ar-terial road from Cambrian Road to Barnsdale Road, including pedestrian and cycling fa-cilities. The plan would also see the southwest Transitway extended on the median of Green-bank Road from Cambrian to a terminal station and park-and-ride lot located on the east side of Greenbank, north of Barnsdale Road.

The chosen alignment, which is straight, makes it compatible with the street-grid pattern that’s planned for new communities along the corridor. The city’s plans indicate a preference for a more “urban” street pattern of a grid, as opposed to the old style of curving suburban streets and cul-de-sacs.

Barnsdale would get cycling facilities be-tween where it currently intersects with Green-bank and where the future alignment would be located, to the east. Greenbank’s intersections at Barnsdale and Prince of Wales would be im-proved.

The city would have to acquire 11.1 addi-tional hectares of property along the route to make the plan work.

The entire project would cost an estimated $61 million if it was built today, but the cost in the future will be higher.

Sha-la-la-la-la-la/Live for today And don’t worry/‘bout tomorrow

Hey, hey, heyIf you’re old enough to remember that

1967 song by The Grassroots, and lived by its ideals, there’s a good chance that you’re now neck deep in your own personal retirement crisis.

For a host of reasons, the majority of baby boom-ers failed to plan adequately for their retirement. Just to make ends meet, many seniors are now working well past age 65. Across Canada, the median senior exists on far less than $30,000 a year.

It’s even more troubling that the next generation of Ontarians can’t get past today’s fi nancial obligations to set a little aside for a secure tomorrow. They’re paying off student loans or paying for child care or looking after their parents. There simply is no extra money for a nest egg.

Because so many more of us are living well past 65, retirement in Ontario is about to explode into a full-scale fi nancial crisis. Almost 1.3 million workers have no workplace pension. Almost all of Ontario’s new jobs are being created by small businesses that don’t offer a pension plan for employees.

At the same time, many Ontarians just aren’t saving for retirement. Experts say you need 50-70

per cent of your pre-retirement income to maintain your standard of living – but many Ontarians can’t or won’t meet this target.

The bigger cause for concern is that we’re sticking our heads in the sand and pretending it isn’t happen-ing. Employers and workers must be encouraged to take responsibility for their fi nancial futures. Govern-ment and business agree that fi xing Ontario’s pension problem is a priority. But to do that, the system has to change.

The Canadian Association of Retired Persons is calling on Ontario to make workplace pension plans mandatory. We couldn’t agree more.

The business community overwhelmingly favours the introduction of pooled registered pension plans to Ontario workplaces and we think that’s the right way to go. Both employers and employees contribute to the plans, that are managed by independent fi nancial professionals. They should follow a working Ontar-ian from job to job. Inadequate fi nancial preparedness should be socially taboo. We need our young people to buy into the idea of retirement planning.

They say that in life, the only sure things are death and taxes. But Ontarians should be able to count on a healthy pension after a lifetime of working hard and contributing to society.

OPINIONOPINION Connected to your community

Let’s embarrass Jay Stone completely and call him an Ottawa institution. That’s my excuse for writing about a longtime friend, retiring after

more than 40 years in daily newspapers.To clarify: “Ottawa institution” doesn’t

mean bad Ottawa institution, like the Senate or Lenny the Lynx; it means good Ottawa institution, like beavertails or the Mayfair Theatre.

Jay has been writing about movies in the Citizen for the last 20 years. His stuff has been consistently smart, funny and entertain-ing and readers are going to miss it when he retires at the end of this month.

Ottawa is full of people who, although they may never have met Jay personally, want to see what he says about a movie be-fore they decide to go see it.

In any city, a critic has infl uence. A good review can bring people out to see a movie or buy a book; a bad review can sink a restau-rant or a play.

Good critics are aware of their power and use it wisely. Bad ones just want to make a reputation.

Good critics have a love for their subject, be it food, literature, drama or fi lm. Bad crit-ics have a love for themselves.

It goes without saying that Jay Stone is a good critic and has been ever since he started writing about movies full-time in 1994. I think that what distinguishes his writing, and makes him the best in the country, is that he has never lost his enthusiasm for movies.

Most critics inevitably tire of the thing they write about. They get so that they have read too many books, seen too many movies. Everything bores them. They become ob-sessed with technique – with camera angles, set design, whatever – and they lose the abil-ity to react emotionally to a moving story, to laugh at a funny line.

Reading their stuff, you can almost see them dragging themselves out of bed in the morning, dreading the prospect of seeing another damn movie.

You don’t get that from Jay, never have. I can bet you that when you read his last review in a couple of weeks it will be fresh, it will be respectful without being gushy and it will show a real effort to come to grips with what the fi lmmaker was trying to do.

(Aside to Jay: don’t let me down on this.)Having a respect for movies should not be

confused with loving all movies uncritically. Stone devotees always look forward to his one-star reviews, where he unleashes the full range of his considerable comic scorn on a movie that truly deserves it. But, interest-ingly, there are not many of those, just as there are not many fi ve-star reviews – just a handful over the years. He reserves the one-stars for the truly awful and the fi ve-stars for the truly great. The great majority of movies are neither.

By the way, early on Jay didn’t use stars, thinking that they oversimplifi ed matters. The star system was imposed on him from on high, to his discomfort, but it at least gives his readers the opportunity to savour the fi ves and the ones.

For Jay, respecting a movie means that you approach it on its own terms. If it’s a sum-mer big-explosion movie, you don’t dismiss it because you don’t like big explosions.

Instead you try to fi gure out whether it’s a good explosion movie or not. Does it succeed in what it’s trying to do? The same goes for rom-coms or Iranian art fi lms.

Famously, Jay gave four stars to the 1994 movie, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, because, in his mind, it succeeded in what it was try-ing to do, whatever that was. Less famously, he has, on rare occasions, aimed genuine anger at movies he considers exploitive and dishonest.

He has served the movies well and, more important, his readers. What the heck: fi ve stars.

News - Though she didn’t put on a pair of pink boxing gloves she was presented with until after her speech, Premier Kathleen Wynne came out swinging during her fi rst stop in Ot-tawa on the fi rst day on the provincial election campaign trail.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Ontario New Democratic Party leader Andrea Horwath and Ontario Progres-sive Conservative Party leader Tim

Hudak were her primary targets on May 7, when she helped Liberal MPP John Fraser launch his campaign for re-election at his Ottawa-South riding headquarters at 1652 Bank St.

Under the Liberals’ jobs and growth plan, Wynne said she will invest in skills and training, transit, and infrastructure to build and reno-vate schools and hospitals, roads and bridges.

“And Stephen Harper doesn’t like it, but we will create our own provin-cial pension plan to ensure that On-

tario workers can enjoy a secure re-tirement,” Wynne said, before dozens of supporters, including Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli, Ottawa-Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi, Ottawa-Vanier MPP Madeleine Meilleur and Marie-France Lalonde, Liberal candi-date for Ottawa-Orléans.

The premier and Fraser both ap-plauded former premier and long-time Ottawa-South MPP Dalton Mc-Guinty, who did not attend the cam-paign launch.

“It’s a riding with such a rich his-tory of representatives that we can all be proud of, especially Dalton Mc-Guinty,” Wynne said. “We owe him a debt of gratitude.”

Fraser, who won the riding in a byelection 10 months ago, said he is extremely proud of “what we accom-plished together,” including expan-sions to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario and Ottawa Hospital, improved transit, stronger schools and mental health and addiction pro-grams.

“By any objective measure we are light years ahead of where we were,” Fraser said.

Wynne said Ontario needs a leader who is prepared to go “toe to toe” with the prime minister on issues such as economic development in northern Ontario and being short-changed on federal transfer payments.

“The people of Ontario need to ask themselves, will Tim Hudak stand up for Ontario if it means having to stand up to Stephen Harper?” said Wynne, adding that Hudak can’t be trusted to confront the prime minister when they share many of the same values, ideals and policies.

A vote on June 12 for Fraser and Wynne would mean a vote for “jobs and growth, so it’s easier for people to buy a house and pay the bills and save for post-secondary education,” she said, warning Ontarians that a vote for Hudak would result in cutbacks that “would lead to a low-wage, low-growth future.”

The premier also blasted the New Democratic Party for not having a job plan.

“They have no answer to the big questions about economic recov-ery. They are literally making it up,” Wynne said.

Calling Wynne’s plan “fair, practi-cal and balanced,” Fraser said it would lead to “jobs and a strong economy, a world-class health-care system that will be there when you need it, invest-ing in infrastructure so we can keep our economy and our families mov-ing, and support for our seniors – the very people who built this commu-nity.”

News - Const. Andrew Ros-brook celebrated his second chance at life by starting an eight-day trek from Ottawa to Toronto.

Rosbrook was within sight of the fi nish line during last year’s annual spring marathon in Toronto when he collapsed. He woke up later at St. Mi-chael’s hospital hours later to learn that he had suffered from cardiac arrest.

It was the alarmed scream of a fellow runner as Rosbrook hit the ground that drew the at-tention of Det. Laurie McCann, handling traffi c detail nearby. It took an off-duty physician, a paramedic and a paramedic in training to save his life. The paramedics were armed with a MIKEY defi brillator and administered the shock to the chest that started his heart af-ter he had been without a pulse for fi ve minutes.

Rosbrook said after his sec-ond chance at life he wanted to do something worthwhile.

“I think we need to raise awareness,” he said. “A MIKEY defi brillator saved my life. But a lot of people are afraid to use them. In my case I was dead so I couldn’t have been worse off.” Rosbrook is an avid runner, so he thought it would be apt to make his fund-raiser a marathon that will end where he was supposed to fi n-ish the marathon a year ago.

“The organizers of the To-ronto marathon are going to give him a completion medal a year after the race,” Ros-brook’s mother Anita said. “We are very proud of him. He is really doing something with the second chance he was given.”

Before the cardiac arrest last year, Rosbrook had run a variety of marathons, half-marathons and ultra races –

anything over 42 kilometres.“I think he has been a run-

ner since he was fi ve or 10,” Anita said.

On the fi rst day of his eight day journey, Rosbrook started at Parliament Hill and then made stops at Hunt Club Road and Riverside before ending the day in Kemptville.

“I am taking it slow and pacing myself,” he said, add-ing he was keeping a clear mind and watching the local architecture and countryside roll by as he ran.

He said he planned to stop every 20 km along his route before hitting the fi nish line in Toronto on May 12.

Rosbrook said he feels he owes it to himself to spread the message about the importance of defi brillators.

“I will run, walk, crawl or stumble 60 to 70 km a day to the fi nish line of the race that nearly ended my life last year,” he said.

Const. Andrew Rosbrook runs along River Road on May 5. Rosbrook was running the New Life Mike Marathon – 470 kilometres from Ottawa to Toronto – to raise awareness about the need for public access to Automatic External De-fi brillators.

News - Rideau Carleton Raceway and horse owners are breathing a sigh of relief after the province confi rmed a $26.5-million lifeline to keep racing alive.The new funding program announced funding on March 31 to replace the Slots at Race-tracks program, which the province axed two years ago. While the $26.5 million over fi ve years won’t match the old funding, it’s enough to keep racing going, said Alex Law-ryk, spokesman for the race-way.

“It’s a positive step, but it’s not what we had,” Lawryk

e old funding pro-gram was cancelled, Rideau 154 races a w $5.25 mil-lion annual funding for fi ve years, the raceway is looking to offer 90 races this season.way has only been inue hosting racing two years because om the previous

slots program leftover after the funding was cancelled, Lawryk said. That money has now run out, so without the new fund-ing, Rideau Carleton would have only offered “a few doz-en” racing opportunities each year. That’s simply because the owners love and are committed to racing, which has been part of the raceway for 50 years, Lawryk said.

“It would just be a local, regional-size track,” he said. “That would be the owner’s wish ... I’m sure they wouldn`t want to shut it down. If there was no gaming and no revenue, it would be very costly.”The two-year gap in funding and the uncertainty of the race-way’s future until now have left deep wounds in the local horse-racing industry, Lawryk said.“A lot of people, after two years, have left the business,” he said.

“There are mixed feelings. People are quite interested in continuing, quite excited about the possibility of continuing the industry in Ottawa, but it’s a lot less than it was.“We basically have to re-ignite the interest and rebuild-ing,” he said.

CASINO EXPANSION IN RACETRACK’S FUTURE

Lawryk said the raceway hasn’t been told about a long-term strategy for funding horse racing after the fi ve-year fund-ing runs out, but at least in Rideau Carleton’s case, the fa-cility is hoping to have a casino open by then.

Arts - If you’ve been think-

ing of trying out a new musi-

cal instrument this spring, or

are seeking programming for

kids, the creators of Bluesfest

have a destination for you.

Starting April 28, the

Bluesfest School of Music

and Art is opening its new

Festival House for public

programming. Located at

450 Churchill Avenue, the

building’s music and art pro-

gramming is the product of

a partnership between RBC

Bluesfest and the Dovercourt

Community Association.

Ere’n Coyle, director of the

program, said the newness of

the facility will allow them

to experiment with program-

ming to see what resonates

with the public.

“There’s no ‘well, we’ve

never done this before,’” said

Coyle, “instead, it’s ‘sure, do

we have a teacher?’”

She said it has been en-

tertaining meeting the artists

and musicians who will guide

entrants in the eight-week

programs.“The instructors are all

practicing and professional

working musicians,” said

Coyle. “A small number of

them are still doing their edu-

cation and have teaching ex-

perience.”Festival House started life

as the former Westboro Unit-

ed Church, and the church’s

council offered their support

to the venture as it was in

the development phase. The

hall in which the program

will be housed will be named

Kitchissippi Community Hall

in recognition of this.

Since its inception, RBC

Bluesfest has strived to fos-

tered musical awareness and

artistic creativity among Ot-

tawa students with their Blues

in the Schools program.

A kite boarder takes to a still-frozen Britannia Bay on April 6 for what will likely be a last

tures, rain and rising water levels will soon put an end to the fun. These same adventure-

seekers will be back in the summer, however, as their sail rigs can also be used on water.

News - Metcalfe Public School students got a chance to get out and play on May 7 thanks to a new play structure that was unveiled.

The play structure was purchased with funds that the school’s parent council raised over two years said school council chair Kim Sheldrick.

The structure came with a price tag of $48,000 and was purchased to replace the older one.

“We wanted to get a new one before the board said we couldn’t use the older one any-more,” Sheldrick said.

The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board has a policy that structures older than 25 have to be replaced, but the onus is on school councils to fi nd the money for a new one.

Mark Fisher, the public school trustee for the area, said he was proud of the work done by

the council. “It was a tremendous job that was two years

in the making,” he said. Students had a part in determining what

would be on their new play structure by an-swering a survey the school council sent out.

“What’s important is that you like it and you have fun because we love seeing your smiles,” Sheldrick said.

Lisa MacLeod, MPP for Nepean-Carleton was on hand for the event and said it was the hard work of parents, the school administration and the community that made the structure pos-sible. Also on hand was Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson. The crowd honoured Thompson, who won’t be running in the Oct. 27.

Thompson said when he fi rst started attend-ing meetings at Metcalfe Public School when he was a teacher there were only four rooms.

He said it’s been an honour serving the people of Osgoode Ward for the last three decades.

News - As many as 3,000 new cancer cases each year in Ontario can be attributed to alcohol consumption, ac-cording to a report released by Cancer Care Ontario.

The report, entitled Cancer Risk Factors in Ontario: Al-

cohol, is part of a series that examines cancer risk factors facing Ontarians.

“Many people are unaware of the relation between alco-hol consumption and cancer,” says Dr. Linda Rabeneck, vice-president of prevention

and cancer control for CCO. “In fact, drinking alcohol has been shown to cause oral can-cers as well as esophageal, larynx, liver, colorectal and breast cancers.” The fi ndings of the report demonstrate that a substantial number of cancers diagnosed in Ontario could be prevented by reduc-ing alcohol consumption in the population. More aware-ness is needed, as only one third of Canadians are aware

of the link between drinking alcohol and cancer.

“People have been aware of the health effects of smok-ing for decades.

Very few know that drink-ing can also cause cancer,” says Rabeneck. According to recommendations from the World Cancer Research Fund/American Institute for Cancer Research, if alcohol-ic drinks are consumed, the number of drinks should be

limited to no more than two drinks per day for men and one drink per day for women. Drinking in excess of alcohol cancer prevention recommen-dations varied considerably across the province.

It is clear, however, that Ontarians with higher in-comes and those living in rural areas are more likely to exceed the recommenda-tions than those with lower incomes or in urban areas.

“While many Ontarians drink without causing harm to themselves or others, there are signifi cant health and so-cial problems associated with alcohol consumption, includ-ing cancer,” said Dr. Catherine Zahn, president and CEO of the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health. “To support individuals to make healthy choices, alcohol regulations should be grounded in public health and safety principles.”

Local resource centres work to identify a rural strategy

Luc Ouellette, the ex-ecutive director for the Orléans-Cumberland Com-munity Association, said the resource centre s would be working to ask local candidates up for election about their stance on rural affairs.

“We have two elections coming up,” he said.

“We should make them count.”

But the bottom line is residents need to know what’s happening in their community, Const. Yolande Jacques said.

Jacques works out of the Greely Community Police

centre and said local high school kids could gain vol-unteer hours by delivering fl yers from community as-sociations.

“It would be a good way to give the kids something to do,” she said.

During the forum, resi-dents broke up into group to answer questions about how to better utilize com-munity associations and other resources to fi ll gaps in services for the rural ar-eas.

Eating frequently throughout the day,

approximately 5 to 6 meals a day, has proven to be

the most effective way to burn fat. Not only will it

help you burn calories all day long, it will increase

your energy levels, accelerate your muscle growth,

and speed up your metabolism.

By not eating small frequent meal throughout the

day, your body goes into starvation mode. When

this happens your body assumes that it won’t be

getting food again for a while, so instead of burning

the food you eat, it will store it as fat.

You can prevent your body

from going into this mode

by eating within an hour of

waking up and then every 3

hours after that.

Burn!Health Benefits of

LemonsLemons are the simplest way to give your body a

FRESH START. The 5 top benefits of adding lemons

to your next meal include:

1. Supports Immune Function: Ascorbic acid demonstrates anti-inflammatory effects and is used as

complementary support for asthma and other respiratory symptoms.

2. Alkalizing: Lemons contain both citric and ascorbic acid which easily

metabolize in the body allowing the mineral content of lemons to

help alkalize the blood.

3. Digestion: Lemon juice stimulates hydrochloric acid in the stomach further

aiding digestion. Vitamin C status

has been associated with reduced

risk of peptic ulcers caused by the

bacteria Helicobacter pylori.

4. Clear Skin: Vitamin C combats free radical

damage, which is responsible for

many symptoms of aging.

5. Promote Healing: Ascorbic acid is an essential

nutrient in the maintenance of

healthy bones, connective tissue,

and cartilage.

Helping the animals: We couldn’t do it without you

Nearly 11,000 animals come in to the care of the Ottawa Humane Society every year and each one has a story – from the orphaned kitten left beside a dumpster to the pet bird that lost its way after a fire.

Without one special person, these animals would have nowhere to go. Every single day, this person does a huge amount for the animals and our efforts to help them.

This person is a donor, whose regular generosity makes sure that we can be here when Ottawa’s animals are lost, sick, injured, or just

have no place else to go. This person always attends the

Wiggle Waggle Walkathon, Summer Harvest Garden Party and FurBall, making sure each will be a great success for the animals.

When the OHS experienced a food shortage last fall, this person scoured the stores, not just to find any pet food, but the kind that we always use, so the animals wouldn’t become ill from a sudden change in diet.

This person is a great ambassador for the OHS, spreading the word about our work and our stories

about the plight of animals in our community. This same person helps others to become responsible pet owners.

This person never ignores neglect and abuse, being vigilant by reporting it to us and by advocating for more effective laws to end it.

This person truly cares about animals and understands that how they are treated is a measure of our humanity.

Who is this amazing person that we couldn’t be here without? You. You are amazing. Thank you.

Maverick (A164508), is a friendly feline who will provide loads of entertainment as she loves to be the life of the party. She’s a sweet girl who gets along well with other cats and will happily greet you at the door when you come home. This one-year-old is a kitten at heart. She’s a girl-on-the-go who will stop for a little snuggle before running off to her next big adventure. Playing with toys, being silly and exploring new cardboard boxes are some of her favourite things. Maverick could live with a respectful dog who has known cats before.

For more information on Maverick and all our adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd. Check out our website at ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

MAVERICK (A164508)

Audrey was very fearful of not passing Entrance Class

Audrey prayed a lot. Of course, she was much older and much smarter than

I was, and when she told me to get down on the braided rug by our bed to pray with her, I knew better than to ask why.

Our family rarely varied from our bedtime routine. Once we had our necks washed, teeth brushed with baking soda, and nails cleaned, and changed into our pyjamas, we followed Mother upstairs and headed for the big braided rug under the window looking out towards the West Hill.

As Mother settled into the rocking chair, we fi ve

children took our places on our knees around her, and whatever Mother prayed for we repeated verbatim.

Once she had touched the tops of each head and we had said “amen” in unison, we headed for our beds.

But this time of year, when the end of the year was close at the Northcote School, my

sister Audrey always had extra prayers to say, and of course two praying at the same time for the same thing, she convinced me, had much more power than just one of us asking for a special bless-ing.

And so, after the boys had gone to bed, Mother had gone back downstairs, and Audrey had blown out the lamp, she tapped me on the shoulder, and I knew without asking, we were in for another long and purposeful prayer on the braided rug by our bed.

We had it drilled into us over many Sunday school classes, and long and pur-poseful prayers from our whale of a minister as he fl ailed his arms from the pulpit every Sunday at the Lutheran Church, that pray-ing for material things was

right up there with stealing chickens.

I confess I often prayed for black patent shoes, and white stockings, and blonde curls like Marguirite, but I fi gured God would take into account my young age and forgive me.

But once the school year was coming to a close, Au-drey started in on these long prayers at night in the silence of our hall-bedroom upstairs.

“Make sure your eyes are closed,” she whispered, as if I didn’t know enough to close my eyes.

Then she would start. The prayers themselves varied every night, but the plea was the same.

Audrey prayed to graduate from the Entrance Class. And so every night, right up until the day Miss Crosby handed out our report cards, Audrey and I got down on the rug by the bed and prayed that Audrey would graduate from the Northcote School.

Why Audrey was so scared of failing was beyond me. Of course, no one ever went back to school if they failed the Entrance Class, and that was what terrifi ed my sister.

One day, when we were sitting in the old wood swing in the grape arbour, and our Saturday chores had been done, I asked Audrey why it was so important that she get out of the Entrance Class. Couldn’t she just stay home with Mother? Goodness knows there was enough to keep busy at on the farm: the garden was being planted, spring housecleaning was under way, the summer clothes had to be readied. And besides, lots of the older girls, when they fi nished at the Northcote School, would go off and get married if they passed or not. Then she told me, almost in a whisper, as if she was telling some dark secret.

“Do you know what the fate is for a farm girl who doesn’t pass out of the En-trance Class?” she asked. Her face took on a most serious look, almost as if she was heading for some terrible end.

And then she said, again in a whisper, but with a kind of sharpness in her voice that I rarely heard: “They go in to Renfrew and do housework for the rich people.”

She let out a long, purpose-

ful sigh. “Housework. That’s what

they do. I would rather die than leave the farm and go into Renfrew to scrub and clean for the rich people.”

She named a few of the girls who once went to the Northcote School who didn’t pass at the end of year, and they were in Renfrew, away from the only home they knew, doing housework for the rich people.

Once she told me that, I no longer felt the same about our secret nightly prayer at the side of my bed.

I put my mind right to it and became just as fervent as my sister, begging God to help her get that report card from Miss Crosby at the end of the school year, saying she had graduated from the En-trance Class, saving her from doing housework in Renfrew for the rich people.

Peter CriscioneNews - In Aesop’s fable

The Ant and the Grasshopper, the industrious ant stores food for the winter, while the care-free grasshopper spends the summer singing away.

When the winter arrives, and the cold weather hits, the hungry grasshopper must ask the ant for food.

It may be just a cautionary tale, but for many Canadians who don’t put enough money away for retirement, it could soon become a reality.

According to a Sun Life Financial survey, one quarter of Canadians do not know, or have not given any thought to where their retirement income will come from.

”There is actually a lot of help out there. It’s just a mat-ter of reaching out to a fi nan-cial institution and asking questions,” said Cindy Crean, managing director of private clients for Sun Life Global In-vestments.

Retirement savings experts suggest that individuals re-quire 50-70 per cent of their pre-retirement income to maintain their standard of liv-ing in retirement.

What’s the best way to do that? Start early is the com-mon refrain: A 21-year-old investing a modest $100 a month into an RRSP at 5 per cent return can earn close to $200,000 by age 65.

Though those in their 20s may not have much money for investments, between paying

off school debts and covering the rent, this is a crucial de-cade to start developing good saving habits, said Crean.

And, as people progress into their 30s and 40s, she said, it’s important to stay the course and continue to save.

”People in their 30s are not necessarily thinking about re-tirement,” Crean said. “They should be, but they are proba-bly just thinking about raising their kids, educating them and paying down their mortgage and maybe take a holiday.”

But no matter how tight the budget, the most important rule to investing for retirement is to, well, just do it. “

”Everyone should be doing something,” said Crean, stress-ing that sitting down with a fi -nancial advisor can Òhelp you rest easy at night.

”If you have $2,000 to put away I think most people would look at that and say, ‘that’s not very much. Should I even be bothering to do it?’” she said. “I would say yes, ab-solutely.”

For most people, though, investing for retirement de-pends on a lot of variables.

”If you’re a teacher and you have a defi ned benefi t pension plan that has indexing that is going to provide you with a pretty decent income at retirement, you may not need as much money in the bank to augment or comple-ment that income,” Crean explained.

”Other individuals without a pension will need a signifi cant amount of money in RRSPs (and other investments) to generate the kind of income required at retirement.”

One recent study, however, says the situation is not so dire, as Aesop’s tale fails to take into account the grass-hopper’s ability to depend on a social safety net.

A study released by the Fraser Institute in late April argues there is no retirement income crisis in Canada.

The study, titled The Real-ity of Retirement Income in Canada, notes that focusing exclusively on the traditional pillars of the pension system like Old Age Security, CPP/QPP, and voluntary pensions such as RRSPs, overlooks tril-lions of dollars in assets held by Canadians. Those assets are held in the form of home equity and other savings and largely undocumented support from family and friends.

Other research paints a dif-ferent picture on peopleÕs re-tirement plans.

BMO Financial Group in March released a report that suggests most Canadians plan to depend on the CPP after

their working lives. The survey showed 90 per

cent will look to the CPP in retirement, while 88 per cent will bank on RRSP savings.

Close to 60 per cent will hold a part-time job to fund retirement while 49 per cent plan to sell their homes.

Thirty-four per cent re-sponded they are hoping on a lottery win to get through their golden years.

But those tasked with over-seeing Canada’s pension dis-tribution say expecting the government to make up the difference in poor saving is a risk. Most Ontarians currently earn about $9,000 annually from CPP and Old Age Secu-rity with the average monthly payout less than $600.

With a tsunami of retirees fl owing through the system in the next 20 years, government offi cials anticipate a burden on social programs as more people rely solely on CPP.

Asked to pinpoint the cause for the pension crunch, On-tario Finance Minister Charles Sousa pointed to a lack of edu-cation and lack of opportunity

for investment as key culprits. ”About 50 per cent of the

population doesn’t have a private pension plan. A lot of people aren’t utilizing the room in their RRSPs. There is about $600 million in RRSP room still available,” Sousa said. “All this has an impact, ultimately, on our social costs in future because many are going to retire now on CPP alone and that is not going to be enough.”

Backed by various organi-zations calling for action, the Liberal Government in On-tario, with NDP support, set out on introducing reforms to

supplement the CPP. ”We want to provide more

opportunities, more choice and more availability for resi-dents to supplement their pen-sion,” Sousa said.

Regardless of whether a pension crisis exists or not, fi nancial experts like former CFL player Chuck Ealey, who became a fi nancial director with Investors Group after retiring from the game, argue creating a nest egg for retire-ment should be a priority for everyone.

”Nobody plans to fail,” said Ealey. “But people just fail to plan.”

RIVERSIDE SOUTH ELEVATED WATER STORAGE TANK

CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT

The City of Ottawa is in the final stages of completing the Class Environmental Assessment (EA) study for the Riverside South Elevated Water Storage Tank.

The project is expected to be required to supplement the supply of water to the public service area south of the NCC Greenbelt. The timing of this potential future project is uncertain, however, the City must secure suitable property to allow for its eventual implementation. The project is identified in the City’s current Infrastructure Master Plan.

Several alternatives for the tank location have been identified and evaluated based on a wide range of criteria. We are interested in hearing what you think about the preferred option and its potential impacts.

Visit ottawa.ca/riversidewatertank to find out more about all the options considered for the study.

Provide your comments by mail, e-mail or through the project web site by Saturday, May 31, 2014.

Julia Le News - A ‘dragon’ is spreading her wings

and landing in Ottawa June 9 to impart some lessons learned about making it as an entrepre-neur in today’s economy.

Arlene Dickinson, best known for her role as one of fi ve venture capitalists on CBC’s Drag-on’s Den series, will be the headline speaker at the Breakfast Seminar Series, presented by Metroland Media Group.

It takes place at the Brookstreet Hotel, 525 Legget Dr, Kanata from 7 to 9:30 a.m.

Dickinson’s visit is among 10 stops she’ll make across Ontario as part of Entrepreneur Week, which runs from June 2-13. Joining Dickinson for this special event as the entrepre-neur guest speaker is Jeff York, CEO of Farm Boy. York became the president and chief ex-ecutive of Farm Boy in 2009. Prior to that, he spent 20 years as the president and chief oper-ating offi cer of Giant Tiger Stores Ltd.

Entrepreneurship Week celebrates the suc-cesses of local entrepreneurs as a community while encouraging others to be innovative to help fuel and drive the local economy.

“The event is a celebration of Entrepreneur-ship Week and to showcase our community en-trepreneurs and their contributions to our local economy. It is also a great opportunity to get a look into the success factors behind two amaz-ing entrepreneurs - Arlene Dickenson and Jeff

York,” said Metroland East general manager Peter O’Leary. “It is very important to take the time and recognize the contributions and innovations the entrepreneurs of Ottawa have brought to our community and economy. Not only are these amazing people building suc-cessful businesses but they give back

O’Leary said local residents don’t have to look too far in Ottawa to see some amazing business success stories such as the Greenberg family and Minto, Cyril Leeder and the Ottawa Senators, Farm Boy, the Tommy and Lefebvre families, and the Myers, Mews family “to see what an impact a group of entrepreneurs have on the city we live in.” Dickinson, who is the CEO of the marketing fi rm Venture Commu-nications with a staff of 75 in Calgary, Toron-to and Ottawa, said she’s looking forward to meeting entrepreneurs in Ontario’s communi-ties and speaking about how life and business are intertwined when you’re an entrepreneur.

The 57-year-old, who travels back and forth between her Calgary and Toronto homes, said the notion of balance, is something of a fallacy. “Balance is very personal. It’s not about 50/50 and equal weight on personal and professional, it’s about doing what makes you happy,” she said, adding that being an entrepreneur is a life-style choice, not a career choice.

“I’d say that happiness is a function of being able to live and be who you are.”

PASSION FOR ENTREPRENEURISM

Dickinson found her calling and developed a passion for entrepreneurism at the age of 31 after getting married at 19 and raising four chil-dren.

Through hard work and perseverance, the author of Persuasion and All In said she’s been able to overcome numerous challenges that have helped shape her as a business person.

Her success and leadership has been recog-nized with multiple honours and awards includ-ing: Canada’s Most Powerful Women Top 100, the Pinnacle Award for Entrepreneurial Ex-cellence, as well as PROFIT and Chatelaine’s TOP 100 Women Business Owners.

She is also chief executive of YouInc.com, a company she founded in 2012 that is dedicated

to serving and investing in entrepreneurs and the entrepreneurial lifestyle.

“A lot of what I’ve learned is through the school of hard knocks,” said Dickinson, who never received a university education, but has learned about business by taking risks and fi g-uring out how to recover from the failure and mistakes she’s made along the way.

LEARNING FROM MISTAKES

Mistakes, she said, aren’t fatal, as long as you can learn from them.

“For me, having gone through a lot of the struggle of building a business from the ground up, dealing with partnerships and dealing with building and growth pains, I’ve learned at the end of the day, you have to be able to look deep within yourself to fi gure out where you’re help-ing the company, fi gure out where you’re not helping the company and surround yourself with people who are better than you are,” she said.

“That’s an old saying, but it’s a very true one.” She added that entrepreneurs need to recognize that their biggest enemy tends to be themselves.

RESILIENCY IS KEY

“Self-doubt can play a huge role in your abil-ity to succeed, so if you believe in something you have to stick to it. You have to be resilient,” said Dickinson, noting that to be successful as an entrepreneur you also have to navigate the roadblocks along the way and accept that you’ll face a lot of rejection.

Dickinson is a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee medal recipient, an honourary captain of the Royal Canadian Navy and is the recipi-ent of honourary degrees from Mount Saint Vincent University, Saint Mary’s University

and the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology.

“Having Arlene Dickenson partner with us provides our readers and cus-tomers the opportunity to experience her live or read about her on our web-site our community newspapers,” said O’Leary. “Our brand and goal is to be connected to our communities and Arlene allows us to showcase some of the people and entrepreneurs of Ot-tawa by lending her time, name, and brand. Her commitment to the time in Ottawa also places a spotlight on those entrepreneurs in our community that deserve so many thanks for what they do.”

Tickets to the breakfast seminar se-ries cost $90 plus HST. For more in-formation call 613-221-6233. To pur-chase tickets online, visit microspec.com/tix123/etic.2014.

MINIMIZE THE FINAL INCOME TAX LIABILITY OF YOUR ESTATE

By Marty Clement, Leader EY’s Professionals [email protected] (613) 598-4894

This is one of a series of several articles

intended to build awareness about the

impact of legacy giving to Forever CHEO.

In addition to the spiritual and community

benefi ts of gifting to a registered charity,

naming a registered charity as a benefi ciary

in your Will can also be an effective way

to minimize the fi nal income tax liability

of an estate. Without proper planning,

a deceased’s income tax liability could

be signifi cant. Various income inclusions

at the time of death, such as deemed

capital gains and the fair market value of an

RRSP can result in a higher than expected

estate income tax liability given Canada’s

graduated income tax rates.

Gifts to Forever CHEO can include cash

legacies, bequests of real or personal

property, securities, life insurance proceeds

and all or part of the residue of the estate.

All of these gifts can potentially generate

tax credits available to reduce an estate’s

income tax liability. Additionally, the gifting

of certain types of capital property to

Forever CHEO under the terms of a Will

may avoid capital gains but still maximize

the tax credits available from such a gift.

Please feel free to contact any member

of CHEO’s Legacy Advisory Committee

for more information about minimizing the

News - Bob Chiarelli, MPP for Ottawa West-Nepean and minister of energy, said he is prepared to take the Liberal

budget to voters.Despite criticisms from the

other two party leaders, Chi-arelli said he is proud of the budget his government crafted and feels confi dent running on its merits.

“We have to run on our policies and our record – the good and the bad,” he said.

Chiarelli said the budget fo-cuses on senior needs in health care – something important in his riding, which has a high concentration of seniors – and anti-poverty initiatives.

“We would increase mini-mum wage and increase wag-

es in the health-care sector, as well as supports to assist se-niors and people with disabili-ties in their homes,” Chiarelli said.

But Lisa MacLeod, the MPP for Nepean-Carleton, said if the Liberal budget had passed it would have spelled catastrophe for Ontarians.

“It was a tax and spend budget,” she said, adding in-creased spending on the debt and the defi cit would mean fewer dollars for things like education and health care.

MacLeod said she was more than happy to head to the polls.

“I am dancing and singing,” she said on May 2, just before Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne dropped the writ.

She said Ontarians no lon-ger had faith in the govern-ment and they wanted to have a say in who leads the prov-ince.

“Kathleen Wynne wasn’t elected and with her plans concerning pensions, I think people want to have a say,” MacLeod said. MacLeod said she has already started can-vassing and residents are most

concerned about affordability. She said locally, residents

are worried about Kemptville College and the closure of beds at the Winchester Dis-trict Memorial Hospital.NDP leader Andrea Horwath an-nounced she wouldn’t be sup-porting the budget on May 2. The NDP had supported the last two budgets.

Jennifer McKenzie, an NDP candidate for Ottawa Centre and chair of the Ottawa-Car-leton District School Board, said she wasn’t surprised that her party’s leader couldn’t support the budget this time.

“The NDP have indicated they have lost confi dence with the government,” she said. “The public doesn’t trust the Liberals to deliver on prom-ises.”

McKenzie said residents she has talked to are con-cerned about the environment and leaving a sustainable world for their children and grandchildren.It also comes down to dollars and cents.

“People are concerned with being able to afford their rent and their electricity bills,” she said.
