News – Roads are still the main priority for rural residents, according to the results of a recent city of Ottawa survey that is part of the city’s ongoing Official Plan review.

The survey, called “Building a Liveable Ottawa: Focus on Rural Issues” was conducted earlier this spring and summer and asked residents their opinions on transportation, residential development and village services.

The desire to fix and improve rural roads was loud and clear - not surprisingly, since 93 per cent of respondents said they rely on a car to get around.

“It was consistent with ... the main objective in the rural area, which is roads,” said Rideau-Goulbourn Coun.

Scott Moffatt. “People want more money invested in roads.

That’s our transit network.”

Residents were asked to identify where transportation funds should be spent in the next five years.

Twenty-three per cent said widening major roads is their top priority, and another 16 per cent identified road maintenance and general improvement in the question’s “other” category. That puts road priorities at the top of the list with 39 per cent.

Manotick Village and Community Association president Klaus Beltzner said he was surprised by the results of other transportation-related questions. For example, residents were asked how able they would be to lengthen their commute to work in order to reduce the city’s pressure to

It takes one to know one.

build, widen and upgrade rural roads. Combined, 55 per cent said they were able or somewhat able to accommodate such a request.

“I’m curious about that result,” Beltzner said. “It seems like a very, very large number of people that have a lot of flexibility that doesn’t seem to ring true.”

Beltzner said the results may have been skewed. Only 151 people responded to the survey, and 60 per cent of them were over the age of 50, meaning they might have more flexibility because they hold senior jobs or can set their own hours, Beltzner said.

The fact that such a small group of people responded could have also skewed the results, he added.

“The census count is about 91,000 in the rural area, so that means only 0.17% responded,” Beltzner said. “Can we really believe they reflected (the views of residents) adequately? I don’t know the answer to that. As a statistician, that makes me uncomfortable.”

City program manager for land use Marica Clarke, who has been working closely on the draft Official Plan set to be presented to council this fall, said this kind of survey can be a useful tool even if only a handful of residents respond.

“We don’t usually get a huge response. And what we heard back from them is not really surprising,” she said.

The city also makes use of social media, community meetings, mail drops and other tools to get feedback from residents, she said.

wildlife issues per capita than the city’s rural areas.

“We may have fewer coyotes, deer and moose in capital ward … Because it’s squirrels, skunks, raccoons and others, it doesn’t mean it’s not wildlife,” Chernushenko said.

Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said she has also been receiving calls from residents asking for another public meeting to discuss wildlife in the urban area.

Lee Ann Snedden, the city’s manager of policy development and urban design, said a meeting to be held about the construction protocol in the new year will be a chance to do just that.

Implementing the recently adopted wildlife strategy will focus on education and prevention of human-animal conflicts, Snedden said. Those approaches will be tailored to both rural and urban areas.

The strategy reads: “Many conflicts result from carelessness or lack of knowledge of private citizens and public officials regarding the needs and behaviours of wildlife, especially urban wildlife.

Property owners may inadvertently create the conditions that attract wildlife and put

News - An old regional policy, advising builders on how to protect wildlife while constructing new buildings, is set to be updated at the beginning of the year.

One of the last holdovers from amalgamation, the wildlife construction protocol isn’t in use because it doesn’t meet current regulations, including provincial policies.

The protocol will be updated at the beginning of 2014 as one of the first tasks resulting from the city’s new wildlife strategy, which council adopted in July.

The old regional protocol outlines when contact with wildlife could be anticipated and advises on appropriate measures to prevent harm to animals and their habitats during construction.

Getting a jump on that work was a priority for two city councillors who told their colleagues during the July 17 council meeting that residents have been calling their offices bemoaning the lack of discussion about wildlife in urban areas.

Capital Coun. David Chernushenko said the downtown wards may have even more

“I believe this strategy will address issues in all those areas,” Snedden said.

Previously, rural councillors have raised the issue of urbanites who move to a rural area could find themselves in conflict with wildlife if they aren’t aware of how to deal with animals.

Snedden agreed that staff could report back to city council in 2014 with a timeline for when the department will request to add that salary to the city’s budget.

Councillor hedges bets on casino vote jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - The city isn’t putting the cart before the horse, says Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli.

Egli took questions from residents on a council motion looking for a second casino location in the capital.

“It’s a complicated issue,” Egli said, adding if the finance and economic development committee votes in favour of a second location – in addition to maintaining the slots at the Rideau Carleton Raceway – it really only gives the mayor the permission to ask the province to give the green light on a second location.

The motion, brought by Couns. Tim Tierney and Mark Taylor, seeks to offer protection to the RCR, but keep the bidding process on a potential new gaming facility open and transparent.

Egli said the intent was to allow the RCR to partner with a qualified casino company to make a bid and save its slot machines.

“There’s really something in there for everyone,” Egli said. “It’s got points for people who want to protect the raceway, it deals with the transparency issue and potential traffic impacts.”

Egli added that with a new Ontario premier and the dismissal of the Ontario Lottery Gaming Corp board, the conversation has changed.

“Before we had to raise our hands and be in favour of a casino or lose the slots at the raceway,” Egli said. “The province has since softened their position on that.”

Glens Community Association president Agnes Warda asked why the city would make a decision on a second location without knowing whether the province will accept a second casino zone.

“Wouldn’t it better to wait and see what the response (from the province) is?” she asked.

Egli said the city has never formerly asked the province for the second site. He also said the motion allows for the province’s refusal of the second site.

“If we only get one location then it would be at the Rideau Carleton Raceway,” he said.

“There is the potential for things to remain status quo.”

The finance and economic development committee meeting takes place on Aug. 26 and council could vote on the committee members’ recommendation two days later.

John MacMillan, founder of Casino Choice Ottawa and a horse trainer, turned up at TICO#50007364

Jennifer McIntosh

the meeting to speak to residents about the benefits of a rural casino location over an urban one.

“In 1998 the OLG became more involved in gaming in densely populated areas with limited success,” MacMillan said. “Then they went to the slots-at-racetrack model. Now they seem to be coming full circle.”

MacMillan added that the crime associated with big casinos in places like Atlantic City and Windsor don’t happen in rural locations.

“People aren’t turning up along (Highway) 401 to hang out at the Thousand Islands casino,” he said.

Egli said he is against a downtown casino for a number of reasons, and also doesn’t think there is an appetite around the council table for a central location.

“Oddly enough one of the biggest concerns is whether or not people would have to pay for parking,” Egli said. “Resi-

dents are willing to put their money into slots but not into parking meters and I don’t see a location downtown where we could have free parking.”

tions won’t happen until after the province decides on a second casino zone. At that point, he said he would take the area councillor’s input into consideration when he decided on his vote.

“I am against a casino in (Knoxdale-Merivale Ward) and downtown,” he said.

A representative from the Centretown Community Association turned up at the meeting to speak out against a downtown location. She said the central location would make gaming easier for people who may be predisposed to gambling addiction.

Manotick Brass celebrates 10 years Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Arts – Hallmark might call it the tin anniversary, but the Manotick Brass Ensemble is sticking to its namesake metal to celebrate 10 years together.

The brass ensemble has a number of special activities planned for the fall and winter to celebrate its latest milestone, including the recording of a third album.

Since it’s a reflection of all 10 years, the new album will include one track each from the band’s first and second recordings. One of those tracks features a tuba player that has died since the group formed.

The album will also include a live recording from the group’s trip to Cuba in 2011.

“It’s just a way of capturing the players and some of the memories the group has,” said group founder Martin Luce, who plays trombone.

The 18-track album will be recorded this fall in time for the Christmas shopping season.

But the celebrations have already unofficially started

with a very busy summer, including a week-long tour to Prince Edward County in August, Luce said.

On Sunday, Aug. 18, the ensemble will also perform an afternoon set in Manotick’s Dickinson Square, which Luce said will likely include a number of tunes they haven’t played in a while.

The ensemble will return to Manotick on Sept. 21 to play a unique program in Knox Presbyterian Church.

“That’s a special program because ... that concert will be a preview of some of the tunes on the CD,” Luce said.

more public concerts,” said Luce.

The quintet features a first and second trumpet, trombone, tuba and French horn – although there are more than five musicians taking on the group’s approximately 60 annual concerts.

The ensemble has enjoyed a steady group of about 10 players for the past seven years, Luce said, which has created a tight bond between the players.

“It’s done the group a lot of good. It’s allowed us to hone down and become a tighter group in our playing,” he said.

Over the years the group has taken concert tours on the road to Cuba and the English Channel Islands. The Cuba trip included the shipment of 40 used instruments to a performing arts school in Matanzas.

“It was really a very heart warming experience for us,” Luce said.

“When we arrived at the school they had the whole school on the steps waiting to welcome us.”

During the 2012 trip to Jersey, Manotick Brass brought

TEN YEARS TOGETHER

Manotick Brass Ensemble was founded by Luce and trumpet player Kazimier Samujlo in September 2003.

At that time, the ensemble played most of their gigs at retirement homes and private functions.

But ten years later, more than 30 musicians have taken the stage under the Manotick Brass banner, and the group is gaining a more public profile.

“We seem to be doing a lot

its unique children’s program, What’s the Buzz, to several primary schools in the region.

The group has developed the educational program to stir a musical interest in children from kindergarten to Grade 6. Luce said they deliver the program more than ever at Ottawa-area schools.

“We are getting more and more requests to do this in schools because with all the cutbacks, the arts seem to be the first thing that’s cut,” he said.

“We get the children participating with us and it introduces them to brass instruments.”

FILE

Manotick Brass will celebrate its 10th anniversary this fall.

Raising a new generation of musicians is certainly a goal for the group. While most of its musicians are retired, one new member is a young music student at the University of Ottawa. Luce said bringing more young

people into the ensemble is something the group wants to work on. As for the older members, they’ll continue to be young at heart.

“It’s fun. It keeps us all energetic and young,” Luce laughed. “That’s the idea.”

Beard on the block for Heel ‘n Wheel cancer event Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

Community - Brian Cox’s beard is as much a part of the family as he is.

His wife and daughter have never known him without it, and in the past few years it’s been allowed to grow out past his collarbone.

But that beloved beard could be on the chopping block if Cox can reach his fundraising goal for cancer care this fall.

Cox, 55, is cycling about 24 kilometres from Russell to Winchester as part of the Winchester District Memorial Hospital Foundation’s Heel and Wheel event to support the hospital’s cancer care fund.

If he raises $2,000, he’ll trim his long beard back to something more manageable, he said – although he won’t shave it completely.

“My daughter said I needed to have a challenge,” said Cox, who added the closer shave is well worth the money for some donors. “Everybody’s after me to trim it.”

The retired Edwards resident rode in last year’s inaugural Heel and Wheel event, but

got a late start in fundraising.

He raised just shy of $800.

This year, he wanted to beat that amount, and already he’s handed in $1,100.

He’s got another $120 set aside from fixing up old bikes, which he has pledged to add to his fundraising coffers.

Most of the money has come from cold calls on his bike. Cox signed up for the event in May, and started fundraising in June.

Several times a week, he spends an hour or two riding down local streets and knocking on doors.

If he sees people out and about – there are a lot of dogwalkers – he stops to chat.

“The ambassadorship that going door to door can bring; he’s talking about the hospital and he’s talking about cancer care at the hospital,” said Chelsea McIntyre, a fund development staffer at the foundation.

“He becomes an ambassador by participating and it’s not just about the money that he’s raising. It’s about him achieving a personal goal and the ambassador he becomes and the people he talks to.”

The Heel and Wheel event takes place Saturday, Sept.

He becomes an ambassador by participating and it’s not just about the money that he’s raising.

The longest journey is from Greely – a 33-km ride – but participants can also leave from Russell, Crysler, Finch, Morrisburg, South Mountain and Osgoode.

Walkers begin at 10 a.m. and cyclists leave at 2 p.m., with everyone converging on the hospital grounds around 4 p.m. Along each route, pit stops offer snacks, water and bathroom facilities.

Once everyone is back at the hospital, participants can celebrate their achievement with a family-style street party and barbecue.

The registration fee is $25 for adults and $10 for children and youth 16 and under, which counts toward the individual’s fundraising totals.

Unlike last year, which had large fundraising minimums for each participant, the foundation has nixed that model this year to encourage more people to take part.

McIntyre said the foundation hopes to raise $70,000 – the same amount they took in last year – which will be used for cancer-related equipment at the hospital.

Priorities for cancer care equipment include a chemo hood for mixing chemotherapy drugs and a Trendelenburg stretcher chair.

The chemotherapy unit also has ongoing needs for basic equipment like IV pumps.

Cox said a pleasant hour’s bike ride with his nephew’s son isn’t too much to ask when you consider the benefits it can have for the facility.

“I figure it’s a good cause,” he said. “It’s a great hospital.”

News - The mayor’s annual Charity Golf Classic raised $60,000 for recently rebranded Youth Ottawa, according to estimates by Youth Ottawa executive director Lynne Denis.

Youth Ottawa, formerly known as Child and Youth Friendly Ottawa, is a local R0012216466_0725

non-profit that aims to help youngsters drive change in the capital.

Denis said the total wasn’t official yet, but was pleased with the turnout at the organization’s largest fundraiser.

Adam Moscoe, chair of the organization’s board of directors, said 26 foursomes turned out for the event, at $900 per team.

Mayor Jim Watson said the crowd was a little smaller than the record breaking-crowd that hit the Barrhaven green last year.

“But it gives people more room to play and everyone’s having fun,” he said.

Denis said the funds go to support programs like the Spirit of the Capital Youth Awards –which acknowledges the work of young people in the community.

It also helps to support the For Youth, By Youth News outlet and Youth Ottawa’s participation in a Youth summit action plan in partnership with the city. The young people involved in the programs are provided with mentorship, skills training and adult support.

Moscoe said the golf classic was a great way to showcase the new branding of Youth Ottawa.

“We have a lot on the go and all of it has the input of youth,” Denis said.

“They are the future of our community, so they should help in shaping it.”

Be loud, be proud Ottawa

C

apital Pride returns to Ottawa starting this weekend.

The theme for this year’s festival is Be Loud, Be Proud.

This is a message that all Canadians can take to heart, to celebrate our nation’s acceptance of all citizens regardless of their race, language, religion or sexual identity.

These are basic human rights entrenched in Canada’s Charter, despite lingering opposition from fringe groups.

Canada’s good example is even more noticeable when compared with our international counterparts.

Russia, for instance, has drawn criticism from across the globe for a law that bans gay pride rallies and forbids even discussing homosexuality with youth.

The Russian sport minister pledged to hold athletes attending the 2014 Sochi Olympics accountable if they went out on the streets and attempted to “propagandize.”

The move was criticized by John Baird, Canada’s foreign affairs minister, who said the Russian minister’s statements were “an incitement to intolerance which breeds hate.”

But Baird’s comments immediately drew fire

from Real Women of Canada.

The conservative women’s group said Baird’s comments stepped on the toes of another country’s sovereignty, family and religious values.

Defending a country’s action based on its cultural/socio-religious identity is a tired argument that too often has been trotted out for public display in the aftermath of human rights abuses.

The rights and freedoms of the individual are a basic human law that predates and supersedes the sovereignty and constitutions of nations.

Real Women’s comments were immediately slammed by Canadians across the country, highlighting the cultural shift from intolerance to acceptance that has taken place over recent decades.

This national movement toward tolerance is by no means strictly a Canadian phenomenon.

Recognition of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered rights are gaining acceptance across North America and Europe, albeit at different rates and to different degrees.

In the United States, even the Grand Old Party has grudgingly accepted the inevitability of gay marriage.

As Sam Cooke once so eloquently wrote, change is gonna come.

Quebec offers unique European experience for visitors

W

e recently ventured to the Eastern Townships of Quebec to visit my husband’s family.

Our weekend trip cemented two ideas in my mind: It’s really frightening using the province’s infrastructure; but maybe the money spent on cultural protectionism over the past five decades has been worthwhile.

I mean, there’s just something about Quebec, isn’t there?

You really do feel like you’re in another country.

It’s not just the sinkholes and crumbling bridges.

There is a provincial warmth melded with a European class among the people there that I’ve yet to find in other places in Canada.

It’s politically incorrect to say this in some circles, but there is truly a distinct culture in Quebec.

The Quebecois don’t just talk differently from the rest of Canada; they also eat differently, greet differently and share their opinions in a unique way.

And much of it comes down to the preservation of the family meal.

It’s the way they linger over the preparation of food that stands out in my mind. It’s the way wine is central to the occasion.

Unlike the rest of us who are stocking up at the LCBO before a long weekend, most Quebec families I know keep a box of wine in the fridge for informal occasions.

But when there is a more formal gathering, one can count on the celebratory pop of the cork of a slightly upscale vintage.

Everyone partakes, and even some of the older kids get to have a sip or a small glass. And people are very relaxed about drinking, generally. The wine is as important to them as the food. It isn’t guzzled, but drunk slowly between small bites.

I realize I’m romanticizing a bit here, but there is, in fact, some hard evidence to back what I’m saying. Believe it or not, the Quebecois actually shop for food differently from the rest of us.

Believe it or not, the Quebecois actually shop for food differently from the rest of us.

This appreciation of food is benefiting their waistlines.

Because although – according to a Nielsen survey conducted last year – the Quebecois have a sweeter tooth than the rest of us, they also have some of the lowest rates of obesity.

Finally, a study published by the Vanier Institute for the Family a few years ago found that people in Quebec are more likely to sit down multiple times per week for a family dinner than

According to a study commissioned by a national grocers association last year, the Quebecois are much more likely to visit the store daily to purchase precisely what they need to cook a particular meal, for example.

They also demand a much broader selection of meat – not just striploin steaks and boneless chicken breast, but also bison, various cuts of lamb and venison.

And they buy smaller portions. Not just of meat, but of other things too.

those living elsewhere in Canada.

It’s around the table, noted the authors, that parents are best able to connect with children, and that people can debate issues of the day or share their ideas and emotions.

From food to thought, there is a true richness in Quebec I haven’t experienced since I lived in Europe for a few years.

If that weren’t enough to make me want to spend more time over the border in La Belle Province, the fact that I can purchase wine and beer at the camp store in their provincial park clinches the notion that I should “travel abroad” more often.

Mother was in a fit state for Aunt Lizzie’s visit

L

ifestyle - Mother was in a state!

Aunt Lizzie was on her way from Regina for her annual summer visit. As usual, she gave little notice. A letter had come just days before she was to arrive.

That gave little time for Mother to get the house in spic and span order. Father reminded her she had just torn the whole place upside down for the spring cleaning.

“That was months ago, Albert. And you know your sister.

She can spot a fleck of dust a mile away.”

Aunt Lizzie would be given the bed Audrey and I slept in, and that meant we would be sent down to the creton couch in the kitchen, where we would have to sleep foot-to-foot since it was so narrow.

Heaven forbid that Aunt Lizzie would sleep on a feather mattress, which was what was on Audrey’s and my bed.

The only felt mattress was on Mother and Father’s bed in the downstairs bedroom. That meant the brothers had to haul down the one from upstairs, and lug the other one upstairs, which didn’t please them a bit.

After all, it was a Saturday, and they had planned on a day of fishing in the Bonnechere... not a day spent lugging mattresses up and down the stairs.

But with Aunt Lizzie coming, every hand was put to use.

That is, all except Father. He wanted no part of what he considered unnecessary work.

He escaped to the barns, telling Mother it was time he did something about that broken door in the cow byre. He would appear only for his meals until Mother’s frantic house cleaning was over.

My sister and I also had to give up our little shared washstand in our bedroom. It had to be completely emptied, and washed inside and out.

What a carry-on, just because Aunt Lizzie was coming from Regina.

Getting the food ready was a challenge in itself. Even though Aunt Lizzie was born and bred on that homestead out in Northcote, you would never know she had ever breathed a breath of air from Renfrew County.

There would be no salt pork for breakfast, and certainly pork hocks, and mud pout would never see the light of day all the time Aunt Lizzie’s visit lasted.

So as soon as the house was cleaned from top to bottom, Mother set to baking. The old Findlay Oval was fair jumping, as pie after pie, Johnny cake, and bread puddings were made and stacked in the ice box. A loaf of store-bought bread, and a real pound of butter replaced what we ate every day of our lives on the farm.

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories Mother, once again, asked Father to please refrain from cooling his tea in his saucer while his sister was here, but her request, I knew, would fall on deaf ears. As far as Father was concerned, he wasn’t about to change his habits just because Aunt Lizzie was coming with her high-falutin airs.

Even though Aunt Lizzie caused complete bedlam in our household before and during her visit, I loved when she came from Regina. She always brought me something special.

One time it was a doll, which, except for its body, was made of china. Even its little arms and legs were China.

I used to think she was the smartest thing to ever step off the train in Renfrew Station. She always wore pure white ... a white dress in the latest fashion ... and a big wide red leghorn hat, and white gloves that went all the

way up to her elbow. And on the outside of those spanking white gloves was a big red glass ring. Tiny red patentleather shoes completed the outfit. I would marvel at the wealth of our western cousins.

Didn’t her two sons go to university? And didn’t she have a free pass to travel anywhere in the entire country by train.

All because Uncle Jack worked for the CPR. And of course, it was Aunt Lizzie who once or twice a year packed a big wood tea box full of clothes no longer suitable for her sons, and send it off to Renfrew on the train. It was the hand-me-down box.

Now, once again, Aunt Lizzie was coming to visit.

Finally, the house was spotless. We were warned to take our shoes off at the door, not to touch the woodwork which had just been polished, and to make sure our bedrooms were kept spotlessly clean – a tall order

for five rambunctious kids.

Aunt Lizzie was to arrive in three days. We couldn’t be more ready. Then the phone rang one morning, just after our breakfast. It was the stationmaster in Renfrew. There was a telegram from the west.

Mother asked him to read it ... no use going all the way into town for bad news, or good news, whatever the case may be.

It was from Aunt Lizzie, and she was so sorry, but her trip had to be cancelled because Uncle Jack was getting an unexpected award from the CPR, and it was on the very weekend she planned on leaving. They had been given a trip to Calgary. Her trip would have to wait until the next summer.

Mother asked the stationmaster to read it again. After she hung up the phone, she let out the biggest sigh which I thought could be heard in Douglas.

For supper that night Mother hauled out a pie from the ice box, we all had store-bought bread with real butter, we five kids sat at the table with our shoes on, and there sat Father with his tea in his saucer, cooling it off until it was fit to drink.

Period film shows off Ottawa’s heritage michelle.nash@metroland.com

Arts - Ottawa’s heritage got the chance to shine as one of the lead roles in an 1812 period film shot in the city this summer.

Tell the World tells the story of the origins of the SeventhDay Adventists. The film is set in 1812-70.The $5 million budget film employed more than 90 Ottawa-area actors, 1000 extras and 100 local crew members were hired.

The film shot on location at the Cumberland Heritage Village Museum, the ByWard Market, Upper Canada Village in Cornwall and at a studio in Ottawa South.

Producer and president of Zed Filmworks Robert Menzies said it’s the six film the company has produced and shot in Ottawa this year and the 21st film the company has filmed in the city since 2007 and the first period piece for the company.

Menzies credits the city for the successful shoot.

“We work in a small community and have to be aware of the public,” Menzies said. “But the public is great.

Everyone is friendly. That’s what’s great about Ottawa -

people are excited to have us here.”

According to Menzies, one of the hardest things was to make sure the locations, costumes and props were historically correct.

“It was a very big challenge - and this is why I am so proud of my Ottawa crew, they really rose to the challenge,” he said.

Costumes were acquired through local museums as well as located and shipped from across the country.

The art department built 25 sets at the company’s Letrim Road converted warehouse studio and the film was able to utilize some of the city’s best heritage locations, like the Cumberland Village Heritage Museum.

The crew had to remove museum signs and wheel chair ramps but that was about it.

“It was great, because it is a village,” Menzies said.

Shooting in the market had its challenges, mostly because the busy downtown tourist spot doesn’t stop because of a film, but Menzies said businesses, residents and tourists were all accommodating.

“This is what is so good about shooting in Ottawa, everybody is there to help,” Menzies said.

“We worked with the BIA, In-

The producer, always thinking about dollars being spent and time allotted to get things done, credits the community’s support to shooting on schedule and without any problems.

The film is wrapped and postproduction will take place in Australia, who supplied most of the funding for the production.

The intent is to have a theatri-

cal release.

As far as the little Ottawa film company that can, there are no breaks in-between projects.

With the upcoming release of the House at the End of the Street, staring Jennifer Lawrence, as well as a recently wrapped shoot with Two and a Half Men star John Cryer, the producer said it’s onward and upward to the next film.

Amalgamation concerns persist as Official Plan moves forward Continued from the front

The draft Official Plan, which proposes directions and policies that will shape the future of growth in Ottawa until 2031, is proposing three categories of villages with certain growth directions for each category. Growth is to be focused inside village boundaries.

A moratorium on estate lot subdivisions would be made permanent, but up to two sev-

erances would be allowed on rural lots larger than 25 acres.

No city servicing would be extended to new areas within the rural area.

On the development side, the survey yielded a few surprises as well. Moffatt said the respondents’ support for a permanent estate lot moratorium and the concept of promoting development inside village boundaries was unexpected.

“Find me a village that

wants development,” Moffatt said.

Beltzner said he was surprised by those results as well, but noted that more and more people are coming on board with the concepts.

“In general I think more people, including those in the rural areas, support that (estate lot) moratorium than not,” he said. “The main people who don’t support it are the landowners and the developers.”

SCENIC CANAL DAY TOURS

LOST VOICES

Beltzner said a glaring gap in the survey was any discussion of governance in the rural areas.

“That was so in your face during amalgamation, that we’re going to lose our way of life, we’re going to lose control over our destiny,” Beltzner said. “There was nothing in the survey that addresses the fundamental issue of governance.”

Beltzner said rural residents don’t feel they’re being heard at city hall because urban issues often drown them out.

“I’m finding an awful lot of frustration in not being heard, and the imposition of the same (urban) rules on the rural areas,” said Beltzner. He cited the new special events by-law, which he said has placed a large financial and bureaucratic burden on small rural events.

“This whole push for in-

tensification in villages, that’s an urbanization philosophy,” he added.

Beltzner said Moffatt has been instrumental in pushing rural issues forward, but roadblocks are everywhere.

“I find myself pushing, pushing, pushing and I’d like to get some more results,” he said.

“It seems we matter less than some of the urban communities.”

CMA honours Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada

Pet Adoptions

Meet Chrissy. She’s a spayed female, brown Abyssinian and tabby domestic shorthair cat who’s looking for her forever home. She’s about two-years-old and was brought to the shelter as a stray on March 22.

Chrissy is a classy, exotic-looking kitty who loves her peace and quiet. That means

she’d be happiest in a home with older teens or adults. She’d love to just curl up in a sunny patch on your living room floor.

This kitty has a true Abyssinian personality, which means Chrissy is a bit of a diva. But can you blame her? She’s beautiful and she knows it.

Meet Lady Gaga, a two-year-old, spayed female, calico domestic longhair cat who was surrendered by her owner on June 18 and is ready to be adopted!

She came to the shelter with her best friend Sunday (A102737), and would much prefer being accompanied by her when going to her new forever home.

Lady Gaga has been known to use her scratching post daily, and would be okay with living with a gentle, and non-intrusive dog. She needs a quiet home with owners who will give her time to show her true self.

She likes to play shy but with a few treats and time, she will surely blossom!

Visit the OHS website at www. otVisit the OHS website at www. ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of all of the animals available for adoption. Stop by the Adoption Centre, weekdays 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Saturdays 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Sundays 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Though many pets are celebrated as family members, there are those that aren’t so lucky.

Every day, the Ottawa Humane Society becomes a safe haven for animals that are lost, abandoned, neglected, or abused. During the summer months, our shelter fills up with animals and we are desperate to find them the loving homes they deserve.

Why are there so many homeless pets? The answer isn’t simple. There are many reasons why people are surrendering their companion animals to the OHS, such as allergies, aggressive behaviour, a move, or they simply do not have the time. Pets are a responsibility that consume both your time and money. Costs such as food, toys, treats and, most importantly, veterinarian care add up quick and many people don’t take into consideration the

amount of time it takes to care for an animal.

Right now, the OHS has approximately 105 cats, 20 dogs, and 20 small animals available for adoption, with 227 animals in foster care. With about seven animals entering our care daily, you can expect to see those numbers increase.

So what can you do to help Ottawa’s homeless animals on Aug. 17?

Spay or neuter your animals: If your pet has a litter, even if you find homes for most of the puppies or kittens, in one year, all those puppies or kittens could have litters of their own.

Millions of dollars are spent annually to care for lost, abandoned and unwanted pets. Contact your local vet or the City of Ottawa Spay/Neuter Clinic to discuss the best age at which to spay your pet.

Adopt from the Ottawa Humane Society:

Not only are you giving an animal a second chance at the life they deserve, you are getting an animal that is spayed or neutered, has an implanted microchip, has been vet checked, and comes with six weeks of free pet health insurance – all for a low price!

Donate or volunteer: Not ready to add a pet to your family but love animals? Hold your own event for the animals, become a PAW monthly donor, or check out the multiple volunteer opportunities at the OHS! Find out how you can help by visiting our website at www.ottawahumane.ca.

Looking for the purrfect pal? Visit the OHS Adoption Centre, or one of our Pet Adoption Locations during the month of August, and bring home an adult cat for $125!

Community - The Canadian Medical Association has announced Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada as the recipient of its Award for Excellence in Health Promotion.

The award recognizes individuals and organizations from outside the health sector who have made a significant contribution toward a healthy population and a healthy community.

Every day Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada provides health and physical activity programs, support and encouragement to more than 200,000 young people and families in about 650 communities.

This organization helps children and youth adopt lifestyle choices that lead to enhanced physical, mental, social and educational well-being.

“Instilling positive, healthy behaviours in young people is at the heart of what Boys and Girls Clubs do, so we’re delighted to be recognized nationally by the CMA as a leader of health promotion,” said Pam Jolliffe, president and chief executive officer at Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada.

“This award is a terrific recognition for our commitment to helping young

Canadians adopt healthy lifestyle choices and realize their full potential.”

BGCC has initiated several programs to encourage active living and eating well.

Cool Moves, for children aged eight to 12, tackles poor eating habits and inactivity.

The Get Busy program fights inactivity and childhood obesity by getting young people involved in new activities they may not have tried before, like yoga or rock climbing.

The Inspire - Breathe Play Learn program funds local programs at BGCC clubs that respond to grassroots interests and needs.

On the mental health side, the organization has partnered with Healthy Minds Canada to offer mental health first aid courses to club staff.

Clubs have also integrated the Friends for Life programs to help young people develop their self-esteem, problemsolving skills, and positive relationships that help them deal with feelings of fear, worry and depression.

Clubs help children and their families increase their awareness and understanding of mental health through publications

and a youth mental health program.

“The CMA’s vision of a healthy population can only be achieved through the actions of like-minded organizations like Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada,” said CMA president Dr. Anna Reid. “Their commitment to health promotion, wellness and fitness is having a tremendously positive impact on the health of young Canadians.”

By promoting physical health, mental health and emotional well-being, BGCC programs help young people succeed in school, form positive relationships and mature into healthy, responsible, caring adults. Thanks to its holistic approach, more young people face their future with hope, support and the leadership skills that lead to success.

The CMA Award for Excellence in Health Promotion will be presented at a ceremony in Calgary on Aug. 21, during the CMA’s 146th annual general meeting.

the construction of Ottawa’s downtown LRT tunnel – the Aug. 25 Pride Parade will be moved from Wellington Street to Bank Street, home of the city’s newly designated LGBT Village.

The return to Bank Street is something organizers are excited about, given the street hasn’t hosted the parade in nearly a decade.

“Its roots are on Bank Street,” said Brody Fraser, Capital Pride’s vice-chair of communications. “It’s a great place and has a much more intimate feel to it.”

As part of the LGBT Village’s official designation, the City of Ottawa installed branding that signifies the cultural heritage of the area – generally agreed as being located between James and Nepean streets and spanning a block on both sides of Bank.

Local shop owners in the village and the committee members who nurture it boosted the theme by installing their own flags and lights.

Presenting sponsor of this year’s Capital Pride Festival is Barefoot Wine & Bubbly, while TD Bank returns as a major festival sponsor.

“More businesses on Bank Street are taking part in the festival this year,” said Fraser.

The festival as a whole has evolved since it was first held in 1986 – both in terms of size and community acceptance.

In the ensuing years, more emphasis has been placed on recognizing the many supporters and advocates who have worked to further the cause of LGBT rights and acceptance.

Reflecting this, 2013 will see an expansion of the parade marshals program,

Mayor’s Report Progress and green sPace at Lansdowne

By Jim Watson

In July we broke ground on the urban park, which will be one of the great features of the new Lansdowne. Until now, the irony of the name Lansdowne Park was that there was very little parkland on the site. We are finally replacing the sea of asphalt with useable park space for all residents to enjoy.

The new Lansdowne Park will be a complete community with opportunities for shopping,recreation activities,football,soccer, and an urban park. These features will solidify Lansdowne as one of the marquee destinations in Ottawa.

Steph Willems/Metroland

Light my fire Yo-yo performer John Higby lights a kitchen match in the hands of a volunteer during the Ottawa Busker Festival on Saturday. Higby forms half of the Guinness World Record-winning husband and wife yoyo team, performing with Melissa Loomis Higby. The Ottawa Busker Festival ran Aug. 2-5 on Sparks Street.

For more busker festival photos, see page 33.

Grand Prix Race Weekend September 6–8, 2013

The urban park promises to be a significant upgrade over the existing facility: three times more park space (18 acres), four times more trees, 7.2 kilometres of sidewalks and pathways, and five pieces of public art.

The centrepiece of the urban park will be the Great Lawn, a pentagon-shaped green space next to the Rideau Canal and the beautiful Aberdeen Pavilion that will be roughly the size of the lawn on Parliament Hill and a great place to spend time with your family and friends (see artist’s rendition).

The urban park will also sit next to the newly renovated stadium. Sports fans will enjoy significant improvements to the north side stands and brand new south side stands. This work is essential so that Ottawa can play host to our new CFL team, the Ottawa REDBLACKS, for the start of the 2014 season. Construction crews have been working tirelessly and I am pleased that we are on schedule for the stadium to be complete for kickoff in summer 2014. Elements of the urban park will also be complete for the first game, with the new Lansdowne Park in its entirety complete by the summer 2015.

As with any major infrastructure project, there is noise and dust on the construction site. Our contractors and City project staff are working hard to mitigate potential headaches for the surrounding community and minimize disruptions as best they can. I also want to thank the Glebe BIA for being such a tremendous partner in this project. I am proud of how well everyone has been working together.

The revitalization of Lansdowne has been a long time coming and I am thrilled that the end is in sight. If you would like to learn more and stay up to date, I encourage you to sign up for the regular updates and follow construction progress at ottawa.ca/newlansdowne.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Cancer, many things need to get done this week before you can set work aside and take a much-needed vacation. Once you get through the bulk of things, you can relax.
