MacLeod won’t rule out leadership bid Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod said she hasn’t ruled out a run for leadership of the Ontario Conservative party. MacLeod wrote an opinion piece in the Toronto Star on June 23 where she called for the party to return to its grassroots.

“We’ve lost that connection with people who purchased the $10 membership card,� she said later to Metroland Media. The Liberal majority on June 12 was a message to the party, Macleod said. “Despite the undeniable weaknesses of the Liberal government’s record and its credibility stretching plan to spend more while still

She said whoever the party selects as the next leader will need to have the energy to rebuild the party over the next four years, then plan policy for the next eight and 12 years. The PCs have to do better at courting urban and suburban voters, she added. “We need a person who understands urban, suburban and rural concerns, one who gets the complex makeup of this province,â€? she said, adding Nepean-Carleton has a large rural area, as well as suburbs and many new immigrant Canadians. “We need to stay ďŹ scally conservative, and stay true to our principles, but also talk a JOSEPH MORIN\METROLAND lot more about new hospitals and schools – something we have traditionally been afraid to talk about,â€? she said.

Justin Campbell quits Osgoode race, joins Darouze campaign Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - Osgoode councillor candidate Justin Campbell has withdrawn his name from the municipal election campaign to become Ward 20’s next city councillor. The 22-year-old quit the race June 19, but he’s not leaving it behind. Campbell announced a few days later that he’ll throw his support behind candidate George Darouze instead, joining his executive campaign team. The web developer said he left the election campaign after he was offered a job he couldn’t refuse in the information technology sector. Campbell said he threw his support behind Darouze because he believes in what the former snowmobile club president is trying to do.

“I found myself in complete agreement with (him),” Campbell said. “The big issues are infrastructure, and that the communities in Osgoode Ward need to be protected to maintain their community characters. We also want to support the existing local businesses and grow that community.” Campbell was welcomed to the Darouze team at a campaign kick-off barbecue at the Greely Community Centre on June 22. “It means people are doing their homework and looking closely at our campaign,” Darouze said. “Municipal elections are very important; it’s where we live. It affects us every day.” Darouze said Campbell will be joining his policy advisory committee. Having a young person on board will make his campaign more well-rounded,

Darouze added. Campbell has previously volunteered with Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod and local Progressive Conservative candidates Matt Young and Rob Dekker. Fellow candidate Kim Sheldrick said she’s not worried about Campbell’s decision to support Darouze. “The nomination deadline isn’t until September, I’m not getting excited about whose running until it’s finalized,” Sheldrick said. Candidate Jean JohnstonMcKitterick felt the same. “I don’t think it impacts me per se. I’m going to go out and continue to campaign because I continue to believe in my campaign,” she said.

News - Telus says it’s working with the city and community members to look for a new location for a proposed cell tower in Manotick’s South Pointe area. After a push from Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson, on June 25 city council voted to refuse to agree to the tower’s proposed location. Telus has asked Industry Canada for permission to build an antenna at 1071 Dozois Rd. in South Pointe Manotick. But the site is off of Mitch Owens Road and adjacent to

St. Mark High School and the Manotick Montessori School. Approval would come from the federal industry ministry, but the views of the municipal government are taken into consideration. Residents have expressed concern about the safety of a communications tower being placed close to the schools, but Emma Miller, a spokesperson for Telus, said the signals emitted from the proposed tower would match the type of signal from an FM radio tower. “The power levels are low,” Miller said, adding the levels are below the safety code stan-

dards set out by the federal health and industry ministries. Miller said the tower is needed in order to meet demand for wireless service in the area. It must be located in a oneto two-kilometre distance from the residents and businesses it is intended to serve. “We are open to other sites that meet our criteria and objectives,” she said. Miller said the company was taking suggestions on alternate locations until June 13, but received none. Telus doesn’t own the land at 1071 Dozois Rd. and plans to lease the chosen site.

Beat the Bite! Are mosquitoes stopping you from enjoying your time outdoors? Mosquitoes aren’t just pesky and annoying; they can also be the source of disease, such as West Nile Virus. West Nile Virus is a potentially serious illness that is transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected mosquito. Research shows that four out of five people bitten by an infected mosquito do not show any symptoms. Those who do show symptoms will experience mild illness including fever, headache, body aches, nausea and/or vomiting, and occasionally a skin rash on the trunk of the body. Some individuals - particularly the elderly - may develop permanent neurological damage due to encephalitis (inflammation of the brain), that can result in death. To reduce the risks associated with West Nile Virus, Ottawa Public Health is urging residents to take steps to limit their exposure to mosquitoes that may carry the West Nile Virus.

Mosquitoes are attracted to and breed in water. Help get rid of mosquitoes around your home by reducing areas or objects that retain standing water. Some easy ways to reduce places where mosquitoes breed include: • Regularly empty containers that can collect water such as flower pots, pet dishes, pool covers, buckets, barrels. • Turn over plastic wading pools and wheelbarrows when not in use. • Regularly clean clogged eavestroughs. • Remove unused tires that can collect water.

Some important tips to avoid West Nile Virus: • Apply an approved mosquito repellent containing DEET to exposed skin and clothing.

• Change the water in wading pools, bird baths and pet bowls twice per week. • Cover rain barrels with screens. • Use an aerator in garden ponds to keep surface water agitated; mosquito larvae will not survive.

• Wear long pants, a long sleeved shirt, shoes and socks to protect exposed skin.

• Keep swimming pools clean and properly chlorinated; remove standing water from pool covers.

• Wear light colours- mosquitoes are attracted to darker colours.

• Drill holes in the bottom of recycling containers that are left outdoors so that water can drain out.

• Avoid outdoor hours between dusk and dawn – periods when mosquitoes are most active. • Make sure all windows and doors in your home have screens that are in good condition.

For more information or questions regarding mosquito prevention and West Nile Virus, visit ottawa.ca/WestNileVirus or contact Ottawa Public Health at 613-580- 6744 (TTY: 613 580- 9596). R0012516719-0703

Ottawa MPPs keep cabinet roles Staff

News - Liberal MPPs in “team Ottawa” kept their cabinet roles in a recent shuffle at Queen’s Park, with Ottawa Centre’s Yasir Naqvi adding responsibilities as house leader. Naqvi also keeps his recent appointment as minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services, a post to which Premier Kathleen Wynne named him in March. Naqvi previously served as minister of Labour. Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli keeps over the high-profile energy portfolio.

Ottawa-Vanier MPP Madeleine Meilleur will continue as attorney general. She also continues her role as minister for Francophone Affairs. Two other Ottawa Liberal MPPs – newly elected OttawaOrleans MPP Marie-France Lalonde and John Fraser, who was elected in last year’s byelection – were not added to the cabinet. The size of Wynne’s cabinet didn’t change after the election, with 27 Liberal MPPs serving in the cabinet. Ted McMeekin, an MPP from Hamilton, is now the minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. A renamed Ministery of Economic Develop-

ment, Employment and Infrastructure will be headed by Brad Duguid. Jeff Leal adds the Ministry of Agriculture and Food to his portfolio, which already included Rural Affairs. Deb Matthews has been promoted to lead the Treasury Board, in addition to continuing as deputy leader of the party. Her previous post as Health minister went to Dr. Eric Hoskins, who helped found War Child Canada and held cabinet positions previously. With files from Metro News.

Meet the candidate: Davis Jermacans to run in Osgoode ward Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - King Davis the Undefeated may have run for the hills at last summer’s Osgoode medieval festival, but Davis Jermacans the commoner is running for something a little different this year. The Osgoode resident ofďŹ cially registered as a candidate for city councillor in Osgoode Ward 20 on June 24. The 42-year-old father and husband has lived in Osgoode for ďŹ ve years. He was born in Richmond Hill near Toronto, but moved to the Ottawa area 20 years ago to attend the University of Ottawa for health sciences. Jermacans is the vice-president of C-Teams Systems, a freight and transport software company. Q: Why are you running for city council in Osgoode ward? A: This is the ward where we’ve settled and we love it here. I want it to be repre-

king. I’ll be a better councillor,� he laughed.) I’ve also spent the past two to three months attending council meetings and talking to other councillors about the job.

sented in a way that’s strong, and I really think rural wards should be respected more by other city councillors. There are a lot of ways the rural wards are being treated that aren’t in an understanding manner of the requirements of the rural areas. I’m the kind of guy who, if he doesn’t like the way things are being done, I can’t complain about it unless I’m working to ďŹ x it. Q: Detail your past political and civic activism, whether it’s volunteering, campaigning, donations, lobbying or employment at any level of government or political party. A: It probably started as an elementary student, when I ordered a massive political lawn sign unbeknownst to my parents, in support of our local PC candidate. My parents supported the party, but I don’t think they were expecting such a big sign. At the University of Ottawa, I was president of the rowing club, and I also coached and was an athlete. I also took part

Q: How are you going to fundraise for your campaign? A: Mostly through friends, family and supporters I bring on along the way. I don’t have ties to any business so I’ll be focusing on private, personal donations.

Osgoode resident Davis Jermacans is one of seven candidates currently registered to run for councillor in Osgoode Ward 20.

Q: What do you think the biggest issue was in Osgoode ward this term and how was it handled? What will be the big issue next term? A: The city’s ofďŹ cial plan did no favours for rural wards, especially with the moratorium they put on estate lots, and the requirement for well water

testing for severances. What should be the big issue next term is the spending and borrowing (at the city level). The long term debt is rising rapidly, and I don’t like that it’s being used for things like road maintenance. It’s meant for infrastructure. I also want to make sure the quality of rural community life is something that is fostered and promoted. We’ve got empty businesses on Osgoode’s main street and businesses change hands all the time in the villages. Without businesses to support (the villages) they just become a collection of houses. It seems the city’s approach is keeping them as a space for future suburban development, and in the meantime they are letting them deteriorate. The other candidates currently registered in Osgoode Ward are: Kim Sheldrick, George Darouze, Jean Johnston-McKitterick, Bruce Faulkner, Tom Dawson and Liam Maguire.

OPINION EDITORIAL

Living under the gun

O

ttawa police are investigating the latest incident of gun-related violence in Herongate, after two men staged a wild-west style shootout in the streets of the south Ottawa community in broad daylight on June 17. Such a brazen display of violence – which could have resulted in the death of an innocent bystander – should have lit a fuse among city councillors. But so far city hall’s collective silence has been deafening. Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume, who represents the embattled neighbourhood, was dismissive when asked if a collaborative effort among police, city officials, tenants and property owners might help improve neighbourhod safety. “To do what?� said Hume in an interview earlier this month with the Ottawa South News. “To prevent two people from having an argument?� The councillor went on to say that Herongate residents don’t have to worry about being on a street corner and having some car drive by and shoot at you.

While the recent shooting was a targeted attack according to Ottawa police, we beg to differ. In March, police investigated a shooting near the Herongate Mall. Only a year earlier, someone shot at a vehicle filled with people during an early-morning drive-by shooting. In 2011, the city had 23 shootings; in 2012: 32 shootings, 2013: 30 shootings and year to date in 2014: 18 shootings. Eventually, a bystander will get caught in the crossfire. Hume’s suggestion that more “boots on the ground� are needed is a welcome one – but perhaps a more appropriate forum for that suggestion would be an open meeting, where he could speak directly to his constituents. The number of gun crimes in south Ottawa should be a top item on city council’s radar. If the neighbours’ consensus that things are getting worse is unfounded, the city and and the police should say so in an open public meeting addressing a serious community safety concern.

Is it time for a new Canadian mythology?

C

anadians think they have a pretty good sense of who they are, especially as summer kicks in. We all wear red on Canada Day, then hop into our cars and vans and head up to the lake, where we splash about, listen to the loons and behave, within reason, something like those happy folks in the beer commercials. It’s a comforting self-image, especially comforting in the endless cold winter months, when we behave like the other kind of Canadians -- buried in winter clothing as we dig the car out and try not to think about Florida. Well, it’s sad when our notions about ourselves are challenged, but it happens. As in a short note contained in a clump of statistics in a recent Globe and Mail. According to a sur-

vey by the website travelocity.ca, 83 per cent of Canadians did not get out of town for a long weekend last year. Really? Many questions arise, one of which concerns the fact that a mere 17 per cent of us can still clog the highways on the way to the lake. Imagine if we all did what we expect ourselves to do, namely head out of town. Now, a whole cottage industry, as it were, has been built on the notion that Canadians are an outdoorsy peo-

ple. Sure, most of us live in cities, but we can’t wait to get out of them. We want to sit on the dock, drink beer around the campfire, make love in a canoe, catch a big bass, have nature walks with our kids, read mystery books in hammock, tell stories about bears we almost saw. Advertisers pitch commercials to us, celebrating that image. Newspapers and magazines feature lifestyle articles about cottage real estate. But something has gone wrong. Perhaps the rapidly escalating cost of cottage properties has finally had its effect. Perhaps it’s the cost of gasoline. Have we, and the people who market to us, been wrong all these years?

Now we have to contemplate the idea that the typical Canadian spends his summer weekends cowering in an apartment, wearing shoes and watching Netflix in the air conditioning. But can you do that, be a city person, and feel like a real Canadian in the summertime? The consolation is that you are in good company. On any given long weekend, the great majority of the population is with you, smelling the exhaust fumes and not hearing loons. So maybe what you should be doing, while the other 17 per cent frolic in the lake, is come up with a brand new Canadian mythology. Perhaps the mythical new Canadian is an environmentalist who cuts greenhouse gas emissions by not driving on the weekends. Perhaps he is a nature lover who spares the birds and animals the terror of fireworks going off in the middle of the night.

While an independent review found that OC Transpo has some good safety and security initiatives, the programs need to be brought into a cohesive safety plan and the transit agency needs more staff – and better communication – to support safety initiatives. members agreed the department was “under resourced.” Manconi didn’t commit to adding more constables, but said OC Transpo will be using a tool suggested by the panel which looks are the size and needs of transit systems and how much security coverage is needed and in which locations. “We’re going to look at all those variables ... and we’ll look at our implementation plan for the LRT and phase things in and put it through the budget process if we need additional resources,” he said. The panel also suggested OC Transpo phase out 10 or so fare inspectors, another type of patroller,

That will make sense as the bulk of transit ridership will shift to LRT, which will use fare control gates, reducing the need to enforce proof of fare payment. The panel applauded OC Transpo for its current safety and security efforts, including de-escalation training for drivers who encounter conflicts with passengers, safe stop and night stop programs, a 24-hour transit communications centre, outreach efforts such as the safety culture working group and equipment such as emergency call boxes, alarms at the back of buses and

During the same transit commission meeting, commissioners OKed all future bus purchases to include on-board cameras. Manconi assured the commission and Amalgamated Transit Union Local 279 president Craig Watson the cameras would be used to ensure safety of passengers and operators – not to spy on drivers like “Big Brother.”

News - OC Transpo is on the hunt for a chief safety officer after a review recommended creating the position. The transit commission received the results of an independent review of the system’s safety and security, which was conducted by the American Public Transportation Association from March 18 to 21. OC Transpo general manager John Manconi said it will take a few months to hire someone for the new role, but the chief safety officer would report directly to him. Task number one will be developing a comprehensive safety program for the bus and light-rail system – something the transportation association panel recommended. Next, OC Transpo will look at whether it should increase the number of special constables, who enforce safety and security as they patrol the transit system. There are currently 41 constables and the panel said there isn’t a “magic number” for how many are needed, but all panel

closed-circuit cameras. But the panel said OC Transpo needs to do more to communicate those efforts to the public and ensure riders know all the measures that are in place to increase security, as well as how to use them. The panel pointed to a recent move to promote the safe stop program, which allows riders to request a stop closer to their destination after 9 p.m., as a positive step. Better communication with the public about incidents and how to report concerns back to OC Transpo is another area the agency needs to strengthen, the panel found. That was a major concern for Erin Leigh and Mai Ngo, members of the safety culture working group who

News - As many as 14 local craft breweries will set up shop under one roof on July 11 as part of the Watson’s Mill craft beer tasting event. This could well be the province’s largest craft beer event, said mill manager Isabelle Geoffrion – at the very least the biggest craft beer gathering in the area. “We’re so excited. It’s crazy,” she said. “Only 150 guests can attend the event, so think about the ratio. Usually the breweries will bring anywhere from four to seven different types, so there’s a very, very solid variety of craft beers that will be available for sampling.” Tickets are $35 each for the general public and $30 for members of Watson’s Mill, a historic grist mill located in the heart of Manotick village. Tickets include five fourounce samples, and guests can buy extra samples for $2 each. It’s such a good deal that the historic site had a line-up down the street last year, Geoffrion said. They had to turn away about 50 people, including her own step-father. That’s exactly why JP Fournier is returning with his Turtle Head brewery, which launched at last year’s event with great fanfare – even taking home the evening’s peoples’ choice award.

“For new craft brewers that (level of interest) definitely bodes well, because it means people are going to be coming out and trying our beers,” said Fournier, who is also involved in National Capital Beer Week. And since Watson’s Mill is only a short drive from areas like Barrhaven and Riverside South, Fournier said the location is also quite appealing. “There’s not much going on in the south in terms of craft beer,” he said. “At the very least we’re reaching out to people in the suburbs and the surrounding areas.” Confirmed breweries include Turtle Head, Broadhead, Beau’s, Barley Days, Covered Bridge, Cassel, Whitewater, Hogsback, Clocktower, Railway City, Mill Street and Kichesippi. Two brand new breweries, Dominion City and Waller Street, will be promoting their beer without samples because they’re not yet licensed. “What’s fun about craft beer is it’s about the art of brewing,” Geoffrion said. “These people are really passionate about it. It’s celebrating the artisans that they are.” And the field is growing. Several breweries on tap for July 11 are new within the past few years, and it seems a new brewery launches in the region every few months. “We’ve definitely noticed a growth in the market in Ottawa,” said Fournier, who added that

Last year’s craft beer event was a great success. Tickets sold out, and the mill had to turn away about 50 people waiting to get in. Ottawa is becoming known, not for a particular style, but rather for sheer variety. “There’s a tendency here to embrace ingredients that are very Canadian in nature, like maple syrup.” Fournier currently brews his Turtle Head beer at the Broadhead facility but he is seriously considering a permanent location in Manotick. He said he has shown interest in the Dickinson Square redevelopment process, and has spent the past year “getting a feel for the village” and sponsoring local events. Talk of a local village brew-

ery has been tossed around since the Dickinson Square project began – and several of the five historic buildings in the square are zoned for it. Geoffrion said there’s been an increasing interest in local beers, a fact she put to use last year to revamp the mill’s longrunning beer event with some artisanal flavour. “We realized craft beer was a fun, trendy subject,” she said. “It’s a young industry in many ways.” Tickets are available at Watson’s Mill or online at eventbrite.ca.

Opponents chant ‘dump this dump’ at latest open house Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - Carlsbad Springs residents sent a clear message on June 25 at the sixth open house for the Capital Region Resource Recovery Centre in Carlsbad Springs. “Dump this dump,” they chanted, as they followed in behind one another, circling the centre tables of the open house for about five minutes. The residents are part of a group called Dump This Dump and are opposing the proposed CRRRC on Boundary Road. “I think we made the message very clear, Mr. Taggart,” said Lucie Regimbald, a member of the Dump This Dump group to a packed room. Before residents entered the meeting, they rallied in the Carlsbad Springs Community Centre’s parking lot, and prepared co-ordinated efforts. Many members were

decked out in Dump This Dump hats or tshirts. “Make sure they know the way we feel,” said Don Bedard to the group of residents before they entered. “We don’t want this…!” Taggart Miller has long defended the proposed centre, and said there will be minimal impacts to the community. Representatives have said they plan to divert as much waste as possible into recycling methods, though the community has questioned the exact percentage. Only 12 per cent is required to be diverted under provincial standard, but Taggart Miller representatives have said they hope to be able to divert a higher percentage of waste. The proposed centre – called the CRRRC for short, but “the dump” by residents” – is for industrial and commercial waste. Hubert Bourque, the project manager for Taggart Miller,

back near the end of July. “I think this is a crazy proposal for this area,” Blais said. “The city provided very detailed concerns about a year ago that were largely ignored by the province.” Blais said residents face an additional challenge because the small area is represented by three different MPPs – with residents in the ridings of Ottawa-Orléans, Nepean-Carleton and Glengarry-PrescottRussell. “Their voice is diminished in a small way,” he said. Residents were invited to leave feedback on the presentation at the open house, which is also available online at www.crrrc.ca. Taggart Miller has put much of the information and notice about open houses on the website dedicated to the project. One feedback form left out on the table summed up the residents’ general consensus well, with only two word written on it, in large, block letters: “NO DUMP.”

Much of the feedback received so far has been generic opposition to the project, rather than feedback on elements of the proposed assessment, he said. “We’ve summarized information we’ve found,” Bourque said As the project evolves and we better definite it, we expect the level of opposition to diminish,”. Dump This Dump president Sue Langlois said the group is still strongly opposed. “We’re completely opposed, we have not wavered,” she said. “What we’re trying to get out there is there is no need for this toxic, risky project. You’ll see the community is out here in great support.” The draft EA is a very lengthy and technical document. That’s part of the reason the city gave the Dump This Dump group $50,000 to hire outside experts, said Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais. Blais said the city will provide its own technical feed-

Greely singer Stephanie La Rochelle is one of 10 finalists in the She’s the One emerging female artist competition at this year’s Ottawa Bluesfest. La Rochelle will compete in the Barney Danson theatre on July 5.

Is she the one? Greely singer to compete at Bluefest Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

Arts - She’s always been Greely’s girl, but now Stephanie La Rochelle is hoping to become Canada’s top young female singer, too. La Rochelle is one of 10 national finalists chosen to compete in Ottawa Bluesfest’s She’s the One contest for emerging female artists on July 5. Ten teenagers from the across the country will sing their hearts out to win a recording session in Los Angeles during a live competition at the Canadian War Museum. “We found out a couple weeks ago that we made the top 10. It was really exciting,” said La Rochelle. Her video submission covered country singer Hunter Hayes’ song Invisible, but La Rochelle can’t say what she’ll sing at the contest. All ticket holders will know is that every contestant must sing one ballad and one upbeat tune. This is the contest’s fourth year, and it’s been tweaked a bit in honour of Bluesfest’s 20th anniversary, according to community program co-ordinator Ana Miura. Previous

years have focused on female artists of any age, but this year the field has been narrowed to young singers aged 13 to 19. And the grand prize has been upgraded: the winner will bag a $50,000 trip to Los Angeles to work with music producer Barrett Yeretsian. Yeretsian is best known for his work on Christina Perri’s single Jar of Hearts, which has garnered more than 110 million views on Youtube since its release in 2010. The trip for two also includes a celebrity makeover and photo shoot, a recording session with Yeretsian and a music video shoot. “Essentially it’s a career building opportunity for a young singer,” Miura said. “It’s a whirlwind trip and a huge opportunity for some young female Canadian.” La Rochelle said that would be “an absolute dream come true,” since the Greely Players alumnus is considering producing her first EP with original songs. La Rochelle now spends most of her time in Toronto, but returns to the Ottawa area regularly. She said she’s been taking both acting and singing classes, but singing is her first love. “I’d say I’m a singer first. It’s definitely my big passion.” Although it’s billed as a national contest, this year’s field includes four local contenders

out of the 10 finalists. Along with La Rochelle, Kanata resident Angelique Francis will offer her jazz and blues sound and Mooney’s Bay teen Taylor Angus will bring an indie pop sound similar to New Zealand’s Lorde. The fourth Ottawa native is Justice Tremblay. Sixteen-year-old Francis is performing among the top 10 for the second time, having been chosen once before in 2011. She said her stage presence has matured since then. “I like to give a more intimate show. I have more interactions with the audience,” Francis said. She’s added several instruments to her long list of musical accomplishments, which include the ability to play several stringed instruments, guitar, drums piano and harmonica. Along with the four Ottawa singers, the nation-wide contest also includes contestants from all corners of the country – stretching from Corner Brook, Newfoundland to Vernon, British Columbia. “I think it’s going to be really cool to see everyone,” La Rochelle said. “It’s an emerging artist contest, so everyone is different. I’m excited to see what everyone else brings.” The contest will take place July 5 between 1 and 4 p.m. at the Barney Danson theatre inside the Canadian War Museum.

Rideau Canoe Club to host 2015 national championships Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

Sports - The Rideau Canoe Club will host the 2015 Canadian Sprint CanoeKayak Championships at Mooney’s Bay. The Aug. 25 to 29 festival will lead into the Aug. 30 Canadian Master’s Championships, known as the CanMas. The Ottawa location was announced at the Rideau Canoe Club on June 23 by CanoeKayak Canada domestic development director John Edwards, with Mayor Jim Watson and Rideau Canoe Club coaches and paddlers by his side. The championships are expected to bring in 1,200 paddlers, with an additional 500 adults for the CanMas. Edwards said canoe and

kayak are some of Canada’s top Olympic sports, and the Rideau Canoe Club has produced quite a few Olympians over the years. “We’re looking forward to hosting the best and the brightest,” said Watson. “It’s a great opportunity to show off our city.” Paddlers and coaches at the Rideau Canoe Club were excited that they would be the host club for the championships, which the club exclusively hosted for 20 years, from 1947-66. “These championships are known as the best run regatta in the world, the most inclusive regatta in the world, the most competitive regatta in the world,” said coach Ian Mortimer. “But when these championships come home, it’s a little

bit special.” Mortimer revisited some of the club’s history, from the first clubhouse at the current Canal Ritz site which literally fell into the canal, to the brand new clubhouse the club built at the current Hog’s Back site. Athletes will have a home water advantage, surrounded by their familiar training site and family and friends. Madeline Schmidt, a junior world medalist, said she won her first national medal in 2008 at home at the Rideau. “It was an unreal moment to be at home on the podium,” she said. “There’s nothing as cool as competing in front of a home crowd.” Ian’s brother Angus Mortimer, an Olympian, said paddling all over the world has taught him how lucky the

City, CanoeKayak Canada and Rideau Canoe Club representatives celebrate with a war canoe on June 23 after announcing Ottawa has been awarded the 2015 Canadian Sprint CanoeKayak Championships. Rideau Canoe paddlers are to have such an excellent site such as Mooney’s Bay as a home base. “It’s always a blast to compete at home and have a home water advantage,” he said. At last year’s nationals,

Rideau finished second in the overall club title, known as the Burgee. The club, which fields a highly competitive team on the national scene every year, would usually send about 45 paddlers to nationals.

With the home advantage, Ian expects about 60 paddlers to compete in the 2015 nationals at home. Ian said the goal is to bring back the Burgee, a flag that the club would proudly fly for the eighth time in club history.

Spring fling donation funds new technology for Osgoode school Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News - Osgoode Public School has raised more than $10,000 for new interactive projectors thanks to the help of four Scotiabank employees. The school held its annual spring fling event on May 23, raising more than $6,000 through family and friends. Osgoode’s Scotiabank branch then matched that amount up to $4,000, passing over a cheque on June 24. Principal Carmen Mackay said the money will buy four Epson BrightLink interactive projectors for the school. “Teachers love being able to have technology,� she said. “It’s a digital world.

Mackay hopes to eventually have 11 projectors in the school. Scotiabank staff Natalie Hilborn said the bank promotes community engagement through its Team Community program. The bank will match up to $1,000 for each employee volunteering at a particular event, with a maximum of five volunteers on a team. This year, the Osgoode branch had four Scotiabank volunteers helping out, which netted $4,000 for the school. “It’s a do-good,� Hilborn said. “It helps our kids and our families.� The Scotiabank branch has been volunteering with the school’s spring fling event for at least five years, Hilborn said.

D-Mannose is a simple sugar that occurs naturally in some plants, including cranberries. Although small amounts of D-Mannose are metabolized by the human body, much of it is rapidly excreted in the urine. In the bladder, D-Mannose can adhere to undesirable foreign substances, preventing them from sticking to the lining of the bladder.

King Gordon returns to lead kingdom of Osgoode’s medieval fest Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

Arts - In a shocking turn of events, King Gordon Hawkes is returning to reign over the Kingdom of Osgoode during the village’s seventh annual medieval festival this July. King Gordon was thought dead after he was deposed from the throne several years ago, but he had just forgotten he was king, said organizer Trudy Quinn. “It seems he had a very bad bout of amnesia,” she said. “So Gord is our king returned, he and his lovely wife Deborah.” Just in time, too, since King Davis was run off the festival grounds by a mob of kids at the end of last year’s fair. This game of thrones is a tradition at Osgoode’s annual fest, which this year spans

from Friday, July 11 to Sunday, July 13. Kings never seem to last long in the throne, but one hopes knights might fare better, since four area noble people will be given the title during the king’s night on July 11. Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson and his wife Mary Lynne will be knighted alongside Jim and Judy Beverage, in honour of their contributions to the community. Thompson is retiring after 30 years of public service as mayor and councillor of the Osgoode region. In previous years, Thompson has spent time in the stocks throughout the weekend. This year, candidates running to replace him at city council will do time, instead. “He’s been so good for so

many years, so this year he’s free. His penance has been paid,” Quinn said. The Beverages are longtime business owners and philanthropists in the area. “They are kind of like that quiet entity behind things,” Quinn said. “They support everything they can.” The Beverages own the Osgoode plaza and the field next door, where the festival has been held for the past seven years. Every summer the field is filled with revellers looking to party like its 1309. Jousters entertain the crowds with their daring stunts, serfs serve up delicious delicacies of the dark ages and dancers and musicians maintain the festive atmosphere all weekend. The weekend is filled with archery, dancing, sword play, kid’s games, a children’s castle, live music,

and vendors. It’s the only festival of its kind in this region. This year, the formal king’s feast of previous years has been changed to a more casual cocktail night on Friday, July 11 at the Osgoode Community Centre. Instead of a full dinner, guests can enjoy appetizers and drinks and a full line-up of entertainment, headlined by Celtic Sea. Friday morning and afternoon, the good folks of the Kingdom of Osgoode will welcome hundreds of students and children from across the region for the annual education day. Children reign over the kingdom for the day as they learn about the lives of their medieval ancestors. For a complete schedule of events, visit osgoodemedievalfestival. com.

Knights and princesses of all ages are welcome to the Osgoode Medieval Festival July 11 to 13. Jousters, dancers and entertainment will fill the square all weekend.

Rural councillor worried about watermain break protocol Recent boil water advisory issued more than four hours after pipes fixed Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - West-Carleton Coun. Eli El-Chantiry says a recent watermain break in Carp proves the city needs a better protocol for issuing boil-water advisories – especially in rural areas with shared wells.

No one was sickened in the incident, which involved a construction crew damaging a main that was repaired within hours. But El-Chantiry said many residents were fearful and concerned when city officials turned up at their doors hours after the water had been turned

ottawa

back on to order them to boil tap water before using it. The water main broke at around 10 a.m. on June 23. El-Chantiry said he received an email at 12:20 p.m. letting him know the pipe was fixed and water had been restored to the 180 homes who use the communal well. It wasn’t until 4:29 p.m. that Ottawa Public Health issues a precautionary boil-water advisory, which remained in effect until around 1:20 p.m. the next day.

COMMUNITY news

El-Chantiry said there is no harm in putting a precautionary boil-water advisory in place before turning the water back on. It’s much more problematic if it occurs the other way around, he said. “You live there. You’ve been there all day at home. You turn the water on at 10 a.m. and there is nothing ... Twenty after 12 the water comes back

on – OK, everything is normal,” El-Chantiry said. “And then at five o’clock I knock on your door and say, ‘By the way, we have this cautionary boil-water advisory.’ You’d say, ‘Really? Where were you all day, buddy?’” The councillor submitted an inquiry to staff during the June 24 city council meeting to ask about the “gap in procedure” that led the water to be

turned on before the boil-water advisory was issued. When there is an issue or pressure is lost in a communal well system, which can happen due to a pipe breaking, the city is obligated to test the water. The city’s policies should recognize that difference between communal wells and the city’s water system, he said.

Ottawa lacrosse players rub shoulders with national player Manotick News Staff

Sports - Players with the Gloucester Lacrosse Association recently rubbed shoulders with one of their idols: an Ottawa resident who currently plays in the National Lacrosse League. Callum Crawford, who plays for the Minnesota Swarm, shared tips and lacrosse knowledge with house-league and competitive players, who showcased their talent during lacrosse games held on June 21 at the Brian Kilrea Arena in Elmvale Acres and at Leitrim’s Fred Barrett Arena. “(Crawford) is a former GLA player and with many lacrosse players aspiring to the National Lacrosse League this was a great opportunity for them to connect with an NLL player,” Carol Brazeau, a member of the association’s executive, said in a statement. The National Lacrosse League is North America’s professional indoor lacrosse league, and includes nine teams in Canada and the United States. The recent event marked

the end of the house-league season for the lacrosse association. More than 600 people, from ages four to 21, played in the association’s house-league and competitive programs over the past season. Lacrosse is considered the fastest game on two feet, Brazeau said. The day-long celebration was also held in celebration of Lacrosse Day in Canada, which encourages lacrosse players across the country to unit in support of people in need. The Lacrosse Day program includes the message of building strength and community. As part of that program, the association’s members generated more than $200 for the Gloucester Emergency Food Cupboard, which will use the funds to purchase milk, eggs, school snacks, cereal, pasta and canned goods for people in need, Brazeau said. For more information about the Gloucester Lacrosse Association, please visit gloucester-lacrosse. com. For details on Lacrosse Day in Canada, go online to lacrossedayincanada.ca.

Notice Of Completion Realigned Greenbank Road And Southwest Transitway Extension Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study The Project MMM Group Limited was retained by the City of Ottawa to undertake a planning and environmental assessment study to develop a recommended plan for the southerly extension of realigned Greenbank Road and the Southwest Transitway from their planned terminus at Cambrian Road. The intent of the project is to accommodate projected transportation demand arising from the developing community of Barrhaven South and the Village of Manotick. The Process The project followed the requirements for a Schedule “C” project under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, as amended in 2007), which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. An Environmental Study Report (ESR) has been prepared and documents the project rationale, the evaluation of location and design alternatives, the recommended plan, anticipated impacts, and associated mitigation measures.

Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod speaks to supporters on June 12. MacLeod hasn’t ruled out running for leadership of the Progressive Conservative party.

Race to lead PC party begins July 5 Continued from page 1

She said she has been active with the Queensway Carleton Hospital and is aware of the schools needed in the growing communities of Findlay Creek, Riverside South and Barrhaven. “When people send their taxes to Queen’s Park they expect services,” MacLeod said. The PC executive will establish rules for the leadership race on July 5. If MacLeod decides to run, she will likely face competition from Christine Elliot, who announced her inten-

tion to run on June 25. There’s a website dedicated to wooing federal Transport Minister Lisa Raitt and another site entitled Draft Baird – calling for Foreign Minister John Baird to enter the race. Whoever the leader is, MacLeod said the PC party has a responsibility to deliver a broadly acceptable choice. “The last election was very negative with a lot of attack ads and Ontarians don’t want to see that again. They want ideas to move forward,” MacLeod said.

Puffed wheat dishes, tableware were staples MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories that matched. And do all of this before Father headed into Renfrew to bring Aunt Freda out to Northcote. The dishes were the problem. We had a hodgepodge of mismatched dishes, some with a gold maple leaf in the centre of each plate that had been in our old log house for generations, some with a navy-blue rim around them, and then there were the ones that came in the puffed-wheat bag. Without a doubt, they were best of the lot, but we were far from having enough to set a complete table. In fact, there weren’t enough of the puffed wheat dishes to even

make one complete setting. I thought everyone in Northcote got their dishes from the puffed-wheat bag. Unfortunately, the company that put one piece in each bag, gave an overabundance of saucers, and rarely bothered with cups. And so we had about 12 saucers, no cups, a couple dinner plates, and a small plate Mother called a bread-andbutter plate, which according to Father wasn’t worth taking out of the cupboard. And so Audrey, with me in tow, was heading for Briscoe’s General Store to buy yet another bag of puffed wheat,

and hopefully come home with at least one tea cup. To prepare for this errand, Audrey had gone to the sewing basket and taken out a long knitting needle, and I knew exactly why. She also had a short list of things Mother had to have on hand just because Aunt Freda was coming. A bar of Ivory soap, (heaven forbid Aunt Freda would have to use homemade soap reeking of Gillett’s Lye) because regardless how hard Mother tried, she was never able to completely dissolve all the little pieces of lye. When we got to the store, Audrey headed right for the bags of puffed wheat. Although as light as a feather, the bags were big, with a strip of paper down the front with very small holes in it, so that the customer could see what a wonderful cereal this was. The bags were piled up against the wall, and Audrey, making no attempt to hide what she was

Scotty (A166789) is a charming feline who is looking for a forever home to call his own. Scotty lives for chin scratches and afternoons spent watching the world go by from up high in his cat condo. He often seeks out sunny spots for cat naps and puts a lot of gusto into playtime! Scotty gets along well with adults who can read his cues and will indulge his playful spurts. For more information on Scotty and all our adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd.

SCOTTY (A166789)

Project orphan kitten June is “cat month” at the Ottawa Humane Society — the month where stray and abandoned felines start arriving by the boxful. Many arrive in need of intensive care and treatment before they can be placed in their new, forever homes. Last year, the OHS launched its successful Kitten Brigade program — a fast-track foster initiative to boost the number of foster homes and place some of the shelter’s most vulnerable cats and kittens into temporary homes as soon as possible, so that they receive

Teddi

None of us much liked puffed wheat. And there was always two or three bags tucked away in the cupboard out in the summer kitchen, bought simply for the dish inside. There was no doubt Mr. Briscoe knew exactly what my sister Audrey was up to when she came into the store with the long knitting needle. He paid no attention to her at all. And when I asked Audrey if what she was doing was considered dishonest, she said, “Certainly not. We bought a bag of puffed wheat, didn’t we?” And when I visited school friends in Northcote, and stayed for a meal, their tables too were set with an assortment of mismatched dishes. And always there would be a plate, or a saucer, with the fluted edge, circled in a gold rim, and with small red and pink flowers, right out of a bag of puffed wheat.

Pet Adoptions

Hi, my name is Teddi, and I am 3 years old. Mom and I made a long trip from China, where I was born, to my forever home here in Ottawa! I am a mutt, but a doggy DNA test found four breeds in me: Italian Greyhound, Lhasa Apso, Pomeranian, and Shih Tzu, phew! I love to run around the park across from my house in Centretown, especially when there are other little dogs to play with. On weekends, we visit family in Stittsville – I love those days!

up to, got down on her hands and knees and ever so carefully, worked the knitting needle into one bag at a time. She poked away until she hit a piece of china, which the company made awfully sure was right in the middle of the bag. It was my job to see that she didn’t attack the same bag twice. She had worked her way through about 10 bags, when finally she came up for air, and looking like she had just discovered America, took the bag over to the counter, gathered up the other things on Mother’s list, said “please put this on Mother’s bill,” and we headed for the buggy outside. It didn’t take Mother long to rip into the bag, pour out a good portion into a big bowl, and retrieve a cup. Now, Aunt Freda would have a cup and saucer that matched, and a dinner and bread and butter plate, all thanks to a bag of puffed wheat.

Close to 120 cats and kittens were helped through this program last summer, and this summer the OHS hopes to help even more!

y sister Audrey was being dispatched to Briscoe’s General store, and told to hurry up about it. Father’s sister, Aunt Freda, was coming for a short visit from Chicago. I had never laid eyes on Aunt Freda, nor had Mother. Our contact was through the odd letter, and a gift of a radio which was of no use whatsoever, since we had no electricity. She would be arriving at the C.P.R. station in Renfrew late in the day, would be there for one day and one night only, and then heading to Arnprior to visit Aunt Nellie and Uncle Henry. Well, did that set our house in a frenzy. What to have for supper?

FOOD

Tasty fruit roll-ups make great snack or dessert Lifestyle - This simple roll-up incorporates the goodness of the garden. Only you will know how easy it is to make. The dough thaws in fridge overnight. It’s a great snack, lunch box treat or birthday party staple. Use fresh or frozen blueberries, but don’t defrost them. Squeeze any extra liquid from shredded apples to prevent the roll-up from becoming soggy. Preparation time: 20 minutes. Baking time: 25 minutes. Serves 12. INGREDIENTS

• 125 g (4 oz) cream cheese, softened • 15 ml (1 tbsp) each cinnamon and honey • 5 ml (1 tsp) grated lemon

rind • 500 g (1 lb) frozen whole wheat pizza dough, thawed • 500 ml (2 cups) shredded apples, squeezed dry • 500 ml (2 cups) shredded zucchini, squeezed dry • 250 ml (1 cup) blueberries Topping • 50 ml (1/4 cup) honey PREPARATION

In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, cinnamon, honey and lemon rind until smooth and then set aside. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to a five-millimetre (1/4-inch) thick rectangle measuring about 35 by 30 centimetres (14 by 12 inches).

Spread the cream cheese mixture on the dough. Top evenly with the apples, zucchini and blueberries. Starting at a long side, roll up the dough, pressing firmly so it is snug around the filling and gently smoothing it to an even thickness. Cut the roll into 12 pieces. Place the pieces, cut side down, in a buttered 3.5 litre (13 by 9-inch) baking pan. Bake in a 230 C (450 F) oven for 25 minutes or until the pieces are golden brown. Topping: Drizzle with honey while hot and serve immediately. Foodland Ontario

Public school board approves $860 million budget Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

added to their transportation budget to allow for more high school students to be bussed. More English as a Second Language, teachers, coaches, education assistants, vice-principals and custodial staff will be hired in September and funds will be directed for the final phase of the province’s plan to implement full-day kindergarten in every school. Jennifer Adams, the board’s director of education, said every

new budget brings challenges and opportunities. “It is our responsibility as staff to develop a strategic, forward-thinking, student focused financial document that will allow us as a district to provide the finest quality of education for all our students.” CHILD CARE

A board-wide policy for child care in schools was also

approved during the June 23 meeting. Barrhaven trustee Donna Blackburn said she initially brought the issue up to staff when parents were complaining about inequities between daycare costs and rules at Mary Honeywell Elementary School and Barrhaven Public. “Parents were calling me because the fees at Mary Honeywell were so much higher and they didn’t have the option for

BERRY TIPS It is recommended that the berries are placed in the coolest spot in your car for your journey home. It is actually best for the berries to go straight home and be placed in a fridge or very cool spot. If you are making jam or freezing the berries - the sooner the better. Pick you berry farms use lots of clean straw between rows of plants to keep berries and pickers clean and dry. Bring along a camera to capture special moments. Most farms have picnic tables, so a snack or lunch is a great way to celebrate a "job" well done.

News - Parental involvement was essential in passing the public board’s $859-million budget for the 2014-15 school year, said trustee Pam Fitzgerald. The budget was approved at the last board meeting before the summer on June 23. Fitzgerald, who represents the zone that corresponds to the municipal College Ward, is the chair of

the budget committee. “An involved parent community worked cohesively with staff to create a budget that supports the diverse student population,” she said in a press release. “Throughout the process we have been mindful to keep students as our top priority.” The budget adds to the board’s special education spending, with the creation of new autism classes the elementary and secondary levels. The board also

choosing only morning or afternoon care,” Blackburn said. “I couldn’t look them in the eye and tell them if they didn’t go to a certain school they would be out of luck.” The board’s new policy attempts to encourage third-party child care providers to work with the board to provide services in areas that have need.

Teach kids to love books early News - Reading is an important life-long skill, and developing strong reading habits from an early age sets the stage for life. “While we know that it’s important for young children have strong reading skills, getting kids

to embrace reading is not always as simple,” said Nick Whitehead, the founder and CEO of Oxford Learning. There are several strategies for parents to help their kids improve their love of reading and

books together as a family, reading a book series, or listening to audio books in the car. For parents who have tried everything, Whitehead said parents of older children should give their kids banned books or let them read above their skill level.

The definition of child abuse encompasses far more than physical violence. Sexual and emotional abuse, along with neglect, abandonment and the incapacity of parents to provide basic care (sometimes as a result of poverty or addiction) are other common forms of child abuse. It is not always easy to identify victims as they do not all exhibit the classic warning signs. Research shows that abuse and neglect can lead to serious emotional harm. Fortunately, it is possible for you to make a difference in a child’s life by learning the subtle signs of abuse. The earlier we can provide relief to these families, the greater the chance that the children can overcome these hardships. If you have any suspicions that a child is being abused or neglected, get help. Even though the idea of making a report with the Children’s Aid Society can seem very “official” - and therefore intimidating - it is important to demystify these beliefs in order to provide help in a time-efficient manner. People often feel reluctant to get involved in other families’ personal lives, but it is imperative that we understand our duty to ensure each person’s safety in our community. One of the biggest fears about reporting abuse or neglect is that we will inadvertently break up a family. As a child welfare organization, our priority is the child’s safety. Nevertheless, current data shows that 90% of children remain in their parents’ care; removal is a last-resort decision, and only occurs in cases where the child is in immediate danger. Secondly, some worry about their identity being revealed to the family. Reports can be made anonymously. When reporting a suspicion, provide as much information as possible to assist in the assessment.

Recognizing and Reporting Child Abuse

Even though it may feel like your report will not make a difference, it is always better to be safe than sorry. Every individual’s contribution can have an impact. While not all suspicions and accusations of child abuse or neglect turn out to be true, all deserve serious attention and immediate action.
