Council curbs request for photo radar Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A quest to ask the province to equip Ottawa with photo radar has been temporarily parked. “The issue of speeding

vehicles in or near residential communities is the No. 1 safety issue in River Ward and prevails across the city,” River Coun. Riley Brockington told council March 23. See EXCESSIVE, page 4

a convenience store in Alta Vista. After identifying the suspect, the Ottawa police robbery unit made a public plea for the boy to turn himself

It was on Feb. 25 around 10:15 a.m. when a lone male entered a convenience store in the 2600-block of Alta Vista Dr., near Bank Street. Police said he pushed the clerk to the floor, held a knife to his throat and demanded he reach up and open the cash register. The suspect fled the shop with an undisclosed amount of cash. The victim suffered a small cut to his neck in the altercation, but did not require hospitalization. Haarbosch previously said he doesn’t believe the cut inflicted on the victim was intentional.

Beatles history takes centre stage again Tara Gesner

tgesner@metroland.com

It was a sellout for the Station Theatre in Smiths Falls on March 12, proving the Beatles can still pack them in. The venue hosted the launch of the book The Beatles in Canada – The Origins of Beatlemania! by author Piers Hemmingsen. Hemmingsen, who now calls Toronto home, has spent many years researching the Beatles, and his book contains 468 pages of captivating stories, little known facts, artifacts and photos of the English rock band’s important history. Moreover, the book comes with a CD of radio interviews and recordings of the band playing. The Beatles in Canada – The Origins of Beatlemania! sold for $60 on March 12, a one-time price for the books to support the Library and promote Smiths Falls as the birthplace of The Beatles’ music in North America. Earlier in his life, Hemmingsen moved to England with his family, residing in Larkhill, near Salisbury Wiltshire. They stayed from 1961 to 1963. It was here Hemmingsen first experienced the Beatles, listening to his older brother’s copy of Please Please Me, the Fab Four’s debut studio album. In addition to the title track, other popular singles included Love Me Do and I Saw Her Standing There. Also during the time, the Hemmingsen family watched the Beatles perform on British television – in black and white, of course. STORYTELLING

Within the intimate setting of the Station Theatre, guests listened to Hemmingsen and a handful of presenters, including former Smiths Falls mayor Dennis Staples, RCA Ottawa South News - Thursday, March 31, 2016 3

Victor employee Charlie Dalton, Beatles Fan Club founder Trudy Medcalf, photographer Lynn Ball, Gary Comeau of The Esquires, and Chris Saumure, the owner of the former RCA Victor plant. “You are going to hear a very important story tonight,” Staples said. He noted it was a tale about the Beatles in Canada and the significant part played by the RCA Victor plant in Smiths Falls.

“The plant near Montreal was getting old and they were looking for a place to build another plant. Many people (who worked there) came from Montreal; however, there was local talent too.” AUTHOR PIERS HEMMINGSEN

The record pressing plant, which cost $750,000 to build, opened its doors in 1954, at the site of the current Cornelia Court – 91 Cornelia St. W. “The plant near Montreal was getting old and they were looking for a place to build another plant,” Hemmingsen said. “Many people (who worked there) came from Montreal; however, there was local talent too.” RCA Victor was a successful American company. The Smiths Falls record pressing plant employed hundreds (three shifts), and about

80 per cent were women. Dalton was employed at RCA Victor in Smiths Falls for 26 years. He worked in both shipping and production control. “We had the plant running like a Swiss watch,” he said, “and by the time Beatlemania happened in Canada in the mid-1960s, Smiths Falls could handle it,” he said. FIRST RECORD

The first Beatles record ever pressed in North America – Love Me Do – was done at RCA Victor in Smiths Falls. The Smiths Falls plant was also instrumental in crafting the music of Elvis Presley. “Elvis was huge,” Dalton said. He recounted vacationing at a cottage when the King of Rock and Roll died in 1977 at age 42. To indulge the certain sentimental rush, “my boss called me and demanded I come back to work,” he said. “The plant pressed a million records in about a month.” Other presenters included Medcalf, who, in 1963, as a teenager, met the Beatles at a concert in England. She would later become the president of the largest North American fan club for the band, with over 100,000 members. Ball, an award-winning photographer, lives just outside Smiths Falls. He photographed the Fab Four in 1964 and 1965. A number of his photos were displayed on March 12. The Esquires, based in Otttawa, were co-founded by Comeau. The group developed a strong local following during the 1962-1963 period, and were signed to Capitol Records in 1963. CLOSED IN 1978

The band won the first Juno (Gold Leaf Award) in 1964, and was the opening act for major performers, including the Rolling Stones, Beach Boys, Roy Orbison and more. Last year, Hemmingsen asked Staples to hook him up with individuals who worked at RCA victor in Smiths Falls, including Dalton. A number of Dalton’s artifacts were on display at the Station Theatre, including Nipper, RCA Victor’s mascot. The RCA Victor plant in Smiths Falls closed its doors in 1978, with the opening of a plant in Toronto. Books are available at the Smiths Falls Community Hospital Auxiliary gift shop.

Plant a Tree by Your Home through Trees in Trust Program Does your home have street frontage and look a little bare? Apply for the City’s Trees in Trust program to find locations for street trees. The trees are available on a first come, first served basis if your City-owned street frontage lacks a tree and you have the time and commitment to help care for one. There is no charge to the homeowner. Supplies and planting work will be provided by the City, though property owners must pledge to assist with proper tree care for the first three years of the tree’s life. Trees will be a minimum size of 50 mm in diameter or 2-3 metres in height. The program is currently accepting requests for the Fall 2016 planting season.

Register for Tim Hortons Cleaning the Capital The City of Ottawa and Tim Hortons will be hosting their annual Cleaning the Capital campaign again this year, which will take place from April 15 to May 15.

‘Excessive speeding’ a major concern Continued from page 1

He pitched a request to his council colleagues to seek the provincial government’s permission to allow Ottawa to use photo radar. “While other issues exist – we’ve heard about guns and gangs, drug dealing, prostitution – the severity and frequency of these matters pale in comparison to excessive speeding in our communities.” While Brockington acknowledged photo radar “isn’t the silver bullet,” he doesn’t envision its widespread use on Ottawa’s roadways. Rather, it could be deployed on select streets where other traffic-calming measures have proven ineffective and police presence is rare, said Brockington, who

has sounded the alarm before on traffic woes after learning the Ottawa police east district traffic complaint team was scaled back at times last year from four to two officers. That leaves the remaining two unable to adequately respond to complaints that crop up between the Rideau River and Navan, Brockington said. TOO DANGEROUS TO WALK

“There are streets in my ward where people have told me they will not walk. Cyclists have told me they won’t cycle for fear of their own personal safety,” he said. “Is this the city that we want?” Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli spearheaded the move to have the issue

debated at the transportation committee, which he chairs, on May 4, saying there is a lot of confusion and misunderstanding about where photo radar can be used and when. Although Egli said he agrees that speeding is an issue, he criticized Brockington’s motion, saying it “leapfrogged” council and didn’t allow for any public delegations to come forward. “We all know that photo radar is a divisive issue in communities,” he said. Before the city makes “a fundamental change in enforcement,” even on a limited number of streets, that technology is “a discussion we need to have with the public,” said Egli. See WE, page 5

Early-bird registration is now open by visiting Ottawa. ca or calling 3-1-1. The interactive map online will show you which locations have already been claimed, allow you to register your own project site, and choose the cleanup supplies that you’ll need. Volunteers who register before April 14 have the chance to win one of many early-bird prizes. Let’s get cleaning!

Apply for the Bruce Timmermans Cycling Award With spring and warmer temperatures just around the corner, now is the time most of us start to think about cycling season. This is also the time to tell the City about any cycling ambassadors you may know who should be recognized for their good work. If you know of any cycling advocates in your community, submit a nomination at Ottawa.ca or pick up a hard copy at your local library. The deadline for nominations is April 22.

His motion was seconded by Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, who said committee could discuss the merits of a pilot project to explore the different ways photo radar could be implemented so it “doesn’t become a cash cow.” Brockington acknowledged concerns that photo radar can be a money grab are partially real, and some cities use it in excess. However, he said his request to seek the province’s permission wasn’t designed to fill city coffers, but rather to arm the city with another safety tool. “Photo radar is not my first choice to enforce speed in Ottawa, but the fact remains that speed is a major concern.” He and his staff have been researching photo radar for the past few months. When Toronto Mayor John Tory requested the same technology from the province in February, in an effort to reducing policing costs, Brockington gave council notice that he would ask that Ottawa make

a similar plea. But what his fellow councillors didn’t understand was that he was only seeking permission from the province before asking that staff research photo radar. He said staff in recent weeks asked him, “‘Why would you ask us to go through all of that work and effort, when we’re already busy, when we don’t even have permission to do that anyway? Seek permission first and then we’ll give you an extensive report.’” Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder, who offered the only dissenting vote against Eg-

li’s request that the issue be sent to committee, apparently understood Brockington’s original intention. “Again, the motion is just whether we ask the province for the right to (use photo radar), not whether or not we do photo radar,” she told Mayor Jim Watson. But Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans said the city shouldn’t ask for something it doesn’t desire. CONSULTATION

“I think we need to decide if this is something we want or our community would want before we go asking for it, because you create an expectation if you ask for it, that you’re going to do it,” she said. Brockington ultimately agreed to send the matter to committee, noting he fully embraces public consultation. Police services board chair, West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry, who seconded Brockington’s motion, also supported diverting the issue to the transportation committee.

Questions raised over expansion of anti-graffiti grant program Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Allowing more business improvement groups to seek funding to erase graffiti in their areas could result in budget pressures at city hall. Council has agreed to consider chambers of commerce and boards of trade that ask for anti-graffiti dollars from a pot of money once earmarked just for business improvement areas in the city. The change was first raised two years ago, but was repeated at city council March 23 by Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley, who wanted the groups formally included. “We did indicate there are a number of areas that don’t have BIAs, boards of trade and chambers of commerce,” Mayor Jim Watson noted.

Council has agreed to allow chambers of commerce and boards of trade to apply for anti-graffiti funding, but not before questions about potential budgetary pressures were raised by Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder on March 23. Council was also asked to request that remaining dollars in the grant program each year be parceled out to eligible BIAs to help their members during graffiti-

heavy years. But Hubley said he wants to see a system in place to ensure the dollars are actually spent on graffiti removal. “I have concerns about

the recommended option because it doesn’t allow us to track that the money is actually being spent on what we give it to them for,” he said, adding that Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney has said she would like to see any remaining funds returned if they aren’t spent. A 2013 report to the transportation committee indicated there were 17 BIAs in Ottawa at the time, and that upwards of $10,000 was being made available to each designated BIA for graffiti removal, education and prevention programs. Under the city’s graffiti management bylaw, the prompt removal of graffiti is mandated. Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder asked if any newly added groups will have to wait until the end of the year to see what’s left over, or if the entire pot would be split among returning and new associations. That could mean there would be less money available to those who benefitted

in the past, she noted. “It’s not a lot of money, but it’s important money that the BIAs get,” Harder said. The money from the grant program, which dates back to 2008, is allocated on a fiveyear basis, said Kevin Wiley, general manager of the city’s public works department. “So the spending pattern of the individual BIAs over the last five years – that’s the money that would be allocated,” he said. A contingency fund would also be set aside in the event a BIA had a bad year and needed to spend more. Harder said she’s not opposed to new groups benefitting from the grant, but questioned whether that could put pressure on the city’s budget. “There may not be as much graffiti in Coun. Darouze’s (Osgoode) ward as there is in Coun. Leiper’s (Kitchissippi ward) or Coun. McKenney’s, but the fact is they have an association there that can benefit (from the fund),” Harder said.

“Every year there’s a group of us that would love to add adult crossing guards but it doesn’t mean we can afford to do it.” After the first year under the new model, staff could gauge its success and report back to the transportation committee, “because I think we’re in unchartered waters,” said Watson, who recognized the merit of expanding the program to additional groups. “Because there’s graffiti in every part of the city, unfortunately,” he said. Over the next year, staff should ensure new applicants are educated about the importance of tackling graffiti swiftly, said College Coun. Rick Chiarelli, noting that some areas of the city have more graffiti than others because the paint isn’t removed fast enough. “Slowness in removing graffiti encourages more and more graffiti,” he said, using Bells Corners as an example of a community that quickly eradicates graffiti vandalism.

Federal budget good news for Ottawa

he new federal budget may be awash in red ink, but the federal Liberals did exactly what they promised they would, pouring money in the coming years into infrastructure and transit systems that have been on the wish list for municipalities for years, including here in Ottawa. As Liberal Orléans MP Andrew Leslie says, the budget is good for light rail transit development in Ottawa. The budget allocates $3.4 billion to public transit infrastructure over the next three years through a new Public Transit Infrastructure Fund, and listed accelerated design for new light rail transit lines in greater Vancouver and Ottawa as examples of projects that might see money from the new fund. This is music to the ears of Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson and those sitting around the council table in Ottawa who hope to not only go forward with their grandiose plans for LRT in the nation’s capital, but hope to make some of the future phases of the massive multi-billion dollar project move forward at a faster pace.

In fact, Leslie thinks fast tracking extensions of LRT to Trim Road and the airport, and beyond may be something that is now possible. “Mayor Jim Watson is doing a great job at articulating that these phase two pluses should be looked at as the same sort of package,” Leslie told Metroland Media after the budget was presented in the House of Commons last week. “So we have to get it from Blair to Place d’Orléans, then to Trim, but my intention is don’t stop. Don’t go to Place d’Orléans and say, ‘Oh, we’re done.’ Keep going. And the same thing with the airport extension. Don’t stop, just keep going.” “Keep going” sounds good, although exactly how much of the public transit infrastructure fund that the City of Ottawa will eventually get its hands on will have to be determined in the future as Ottawa will be competing with numerous other cities in Canada seeking that cash. But for now, Ottawa’s LRT plans seem to have been given a greenlight to speed up in the coming years.

Lessons to be learned from Ford Nation

y now you’ve had your fill of commentary on the late Toronto mayor, Rob Ford. As always, when a famous person dies, there is a tendency to sugarcoat and sentimentalize. Mortal enemies of the deceased praise his good qualities and you don’t believe them for a minute. So it was with Ford, but that’s the way it usually is. The old expression is “don’t speak ill of the dead”, and, for most of us, it doesn’t feel comfortable to do otherwise. But what is Rob Ford’s real legacy? He will not go down in history as a great mayor, although some admired his conservative ideas. Personally, he was a mess, a guy who struggled with drugs and alcohol, and attracted either

His personal and political collapse played out in public, and while it made worldwide headlines, it was not something that was fun to watch.

though Ford came from wealth), a guy who wasn’t like politicians, a guy who spoke his mind. Sound familiar? Sure. It’s Donald Trump. The fact that Trump has the same kind of appeal shows the durability of the sentiments that elected Rob Ford and also the folly of underestimating people like him. Because that was one of the first things that happened when Ford emerged as a politician. The elites — political, media and intellectual — dismissed him as a clown. They couldn’t understand how anyone could vote for such a person. But people could, and one of the reasons they could was because they had come to resent elite opinion. When the elites sneered at Rob Ford, the people who liked him felt sneered at too. Voting for Rob Ford was an act of revenge.

The Toronto establishment tut-tutted that he was hurting the city’s image, a rather misplaced concern. In fact, it didn’t do Ford’s cause one bit of harm to have establishment tastemakers attack him. That was just more proof that he was standing up for the little guy against the elites. You can see that happening with Trump too. In a smaller way, you could see it in the success of Larry O’Brien when he ran for mayor of Ottawa on a simplistic platform of freezing taxes and cutting red tape. Underestimating such politicians didn’t work, doesn’t work. Taking their supporters seriously does. Most of us think we have it pretty good here, and we do, compared with the rest of the world. But that doesn’t mean that everybody is happy. Many of those who aren’t feel that they are being cheated. They see wealth and exagger-

ated happiness all around them, particularly on television, and they sense unfairness. They are aware of tastemakers who disrespect what they eat, what TV shows they watch and what they drive. They want to hit back and are happy to find a politician who says he wants to hit back too. Rob Ford was a politician like that. He was not the last.

Frank Finnie enjoys a scotch and soda during his 100th birthday celebration on March 24 at the Hunt Club Manor. Rumour has it Finnie spied on the Russian government during the early 1950s. better, as stories always do when love enters the picture. Finnie was born in England in 1916 and came to Canada with his family when he was about three years old.

“Rumours have circulated widely that, in certain quarters, Frank was, in actuality, spying on the Russian government.” OTTAWA SOUTH MP DAVID MCGUINTY

“Frank is from a very old Ottawa family,” said River Coun. Riley Brockington, who also helped mark Finnie’s birthday milestone – a day before Finnie’s actual March 25 birth date, which this year fell on Good Friday. Finnie’s father, David McLaughlin Finnie, would eventually become the first chairman of the board of the Ottawa Civic Hospital, as it was known at the time,

president of the former Bank of Ottawa and first president of the Rideau Club, Ottawa’s first members’ club. Finnie’s father also served as an early president of the Royal Ottawa Golf Club in Gatineau. “So your father was a busy man, as well,” Brockington said, prompting chuckles from Finnie’s guests, largely made up of residents and staff at the retirement home, where Finnie has lived since 2012. Growing up in Ottawa, Finnie attended All Saints Anglican Church in Sandy Hill and the Glebe Collegiate Institute before going on to serve in the Second World War as an air force ground crewman in England. After the war, he worked for Canada’s external affairs department, and served his first posting at the Canadian embassy in Moscow, from 1952 to 1954. “Frank has related on several occasions that he performed ‘administrative work’ for the embassy,” Brockington revealed, adding he also “interestingly” learned to fluently speak Russian.

What does an alleged spy drink to celebrate a major occasion, especially when he is the man being honoured? Instead of choosing to sip a martini, shaken, not stirred – that trademark drink of legendary silver screen spy James Bond – Frank Finnie requested a scotch and soda. And rather than don a tuxedo – another Bond hallmark – Finnie sat comfortably in his wheelchair, ankles crossed, wearing a white dress shirt, charcoalcoloured trousers, navy blue tie and a cozy cardigan. Their differences don’t end there. While Bond’s death-defying actions as a British spy remain the stuff of fiction, Finnie’s “administrative work” for Canada’s then external affairs department during the early 1950s very much point to the work of a real-life man of action. “Rumours have circulated widely that, in certain quarters, Frank was, in actuality, spying on the Russian government,” Ottawa South MP David McGuinty said during Finnie’s 100th birthday celebration on March 24 at the Windsor Park Manor Retirement Residence, on Hunt Club Road, where Finnie now lives. At the revelation, excited murmurs rippled through the large crowd of residents who gathered for the party. “And he may have been one of Canada’s first Cold War undercover agents,” McGuinty continued, reading from a bio of Finnie written by the centenarian’s power of attorney. “But we don’t know for sure,” he said cryptically, with a grin.

Finnie a ‘trailblazer’ at 100 years old: McGuinty Continued from page 9

“Part of his ‘administrative duties’ included reading transcripts of the official newspaper of the Russian Community Party, Pravda, and sending ‘dispatches’ back to the Canadian government,” said Brockington. It was at the embassy in Moscow where Finnie met Winifred Barns. Their twoyear courtship saw them enjoy almost daily performances at the Moscow opera and the Moscow Ballet. “Frank reported that he and Win were transferred back to Ottawa at the same time and related that they both ‘knew that things were going somewhere,’” McGuinty said. SHE SAID ‘YES’

a stroll across the Champlain Bridge when Finnie dropped to one knee and proposed. Win accepted. She was 38 years old and Finnie was 46 when they married on Sept. 15, 1962, at the All Saints Anglican Church in Westboro. The couple, which did not have any children, was in their 52nd year of marriage when Win passed away in July 2014, McGuinty said. TRUE GENTLEMAN

During Finnie’s birthday celebration, Windsor Park Manor staff remarked that Finnie is a gentleman in every sense of the word. And, even after a century, Finnie’s humour has stood the test of time. When asked how it feels to be 100 years old, Finnie quipped, “I’ve got all my marbles” and “I was born at

an early age.” Joking aside, Finnie appeared moved by the celebration held in his honour, during which his neighbours sang ‘Happy Birthday’ and McGuinty and Brockington passed out slices of cake. “Today they say in all of our health studies ... one of every three children born today will live to the age of 100,” McGuinty said. “So, Frank, you were a real trailblazer. You’re setting a pattern for a lot of people to follow.” Finnie was presented with several certificates in honour of his special day, including those signed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Premier Kathleen Wynne, Ottawa South MPP John Fraser and Mayor Jim Watson.

The gardener’s garden

here’s an old adage that says never judge a gardener by his own garden. The gardener is too busy tending to others’ gardens to bother working on his own. His garden is therefore left to become overgrown or wither and die, while the gardens of his clients are neatly tended, and thus bloom and prosper. Dealing with an extended family emergency recently, I started thinking more seriously about the gardener’s garden. There are a wide range of professional skills in my extended family, and I’m sure many people are very good at their jobs. But frankly, when it came time for us to use those skills in a crisis situation, we all fell down. Could it be that we’re all prone to gardener’s garden syndrome when attempting to deal with our own lives

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse and families? We presume people will step up in their areas of expertise. I should be the great communicator; the financial advisor must have a good succession plan in place for his business; the social worker in the family is presumed to be resourceful and a good listener. In the most recent scenario, in fact, none of us stepped up. Not only did we not step up, but I noted remarkable failure in each of us in our presumed areas of expertise.

Take me, for example. In my professional life, I can conduct interviews, write correspondence and rapidly find the right turn of phrase to persuade people toward my way of thinking. With my family, on the other hand, I found myself frequently exaggerating, over-communicating and generally annoying, rather than persuading, those around me. As for writing, even scripting a shopping list was a chore. Don’t get me started on the lackadaisical thank you cards I crafted “on be-

half of.” A trained monkey could have done a better job. The social worker in the family, whom we expected to be a great asset to “figuring out next steps,” instead outtalked everyone. She failed to listen to the experts on the case, frequently interrupting or groundlessly questioning their assessments. When it came to finding resources, she couldn’t seem to identify much that was useful, instead overwhelming us with unrealistic options. The financial advisor, who is incredibly successful helping small business owners and individuals plan for the future admitted there was no succession plan. So much for long-term planning. Maybe I’m too harsh in

fashion when it comes to her personal relationships. When I’m in work mode, I put on a different hat. My brain is trained to be precise in language. Correspondence with clients is brief, clear and polite, and well thought out. The social worker can be a great listener and a great resource for her clients, precisely because she has no deep emotional connection to them, which offers an element of objectivity. As for the financial planner? Well, there’s really no excuse for him. He is the true gardener among us. He has tended to the finances and businesses of clients extremely well, at the expense of his own. But frankly, he should have had a succession plan.

my critique. After all, the disappointment in myself and others may have had something to do with unfulfilled expectations. But on a deeper level, I think many of us fail to bring our best professional assets to bear on our personal lives. I know a woman who is a professional cleaner. She’s frequently telling me how cluttered and dusty her own house is because she’s rarely home. One friend, who works as a family therapist is divorced and has a teenager struggling with addiction, yet she’s managed to keep countless families together in a harmonious fashion. A lawyer pal is a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom – a master litigator -- and yet she doesn’t fight in a fair or reasonable

LIGHT RAIL UPDATE By: Mayor Jim Watson

Tech companies to demo innovations at career fair Adam Kveton

While the snow melts and days getting longer, another busy construction season is set to begin. While we can expect some delays, crews will be hard at work improving how quickly and comfortably residents move around our city. Luckily, crews working on the Confederation Line Light Rail have been hard at work throughout the winter. The Confederation Line project continues on-time and on-budget and I am excited to update you on several significant milestones. • Phase 1 – will be up and running in 2018 • 2016 will see the final section of running tunnel between Rideau and Parliament stations excavated. • Excavation of the Lyon Station was recently completed, while Parliament is over 90% complete and Rideau soon to reach 80%. • More than 3.5 kilometres of track have been installed to date. • All 13 LRT stations will be under construction before the end of 2016. • Testing on some of the world-class Alstom CITADIS Spirit LRT vehicles will begin within the next year. As many of you know, this is just the first phase of the system we will be constructing over the next decade. The next chapter of light rail is just around the corner: Stage 2 of LRT. When Stage 2 is complete in 2023, residents will be able to catch a train as far west as Bayshore and Algonquin College, as far east as Place d’Orleans, and as far south as Riverside South. This will bring close to 70 percent of the city’s population within five kilometres of rail. This will fundamentally transform the way our city moves and grows.

Kanata tech park companies will soon have the chance to not only hire some new talent, but show what they are all about at the Kanata North Business Improvement Area’s revamped career fair. In its third year, the fair, rebranded to Discover TechNATA, will now include a tech expo element for job seekers, other companies and the general public to check out on April 7 at the Brookstreet Hotel. Participating companies are now encouraged to showcase their company’s products and innovations for all to see, said the BIA’s executive director, Jenna Sudds. The BIA is looking to make its successful career fair event even more so with this new element, she said. “Last year, we had 35 companies participating (at the career fair), so it was obvious that it filled a need,” said Sudds. “But we felt that in going to this effort, it was certainly also an opportunity to shed a brighter light on what was happening within these companies as

well.” “We are really here to promote this area as a centre for technology businesses. And so any way that we can help do that makes sense and this just seemed like the perfect fit,” she said. So far, it seems like the idea has caught on, with 43 companies already signed on to participate. Not all of them are planning to demonstrate their products, but there are a few enthusiastic companies planning to show what they’ve got. CREATED IN OTTAWA

Nuvyyo, a home media company, will be showcasing a digital video recorder for cord cutters called Tablo.

spread the word about the benefits of cord cutting as well as seeking qualified candidates to add to our team in hardware design, app development and support,” she said. While the new element of the event will give the general public and even family members of tech employees the chance to find out what their loved one does when they get to work, it will also be a chance for more influential individuals to see what’s cooking in north Kanata. Invitations have been sent out to Ottawa’s universities, its employment centres and to embassies located in Ottawa to create some more interest in what north Kanata tech has to offer. “We have dozens of embassies here and these ambassadors and their staff are really a conduit into these countries,” said Sudds. “And so helping to raise the level of awareness for them and helping those relationships form I think is a great opportunity.” Ottawa’s post-secondary schools are certainly taking notice, with Carleton University, the University of Ottawa, Algonquin College and La Cité collaborating to sponsor a an exhibitor lounge at TechNATA. “It shows you the level of interest that they have in our companies,” said Sudds. “So they are really quite keen to have that interaction specifically with the companies to get a better sense of what they are up to and what their talent needs are, which, of course, I think is incredibly positive.” University of Ottawa is especially interested, it seems, as it will be dropping off two busloads of engineering students at the event an hour early for some exclusive chat with company representatives. Though it’s just the first year for this new take on the career fair, Sudds said the BIA would like to see more companies participate and demonstrate their innovations at the fair to celebrate and share what they do. “As much as it’s great to get the word out, there is so much value as well in just the companies learning what other companies are doing,” she said. “So I think, to me, the sky is the limit.” Last year, 1,200 people attended the fair. Sudds said she expects that number to increase this year. For more information on TechNATA, go to kanatanorthbia.ca/ event/discover-technata/.

City extends comment period for Airport pkwy widening plans Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Residents have been granted an extension, giving them more time to share their thoughts on new design components unveiled in the city’s recommended plan for the Airport Parkway widening. The community initially had until March 24, but River Coun. Riley Brockington said that given how much new information was presented during the city’s third and final public open house on the project on March 10, he asked for a bigger window of opportunity to comment. The new deadline is now April 7, the city said in an email sent out March 24. “I absolutely insisted that there be more time for the public to reflect on what’s being proposed and to provide comments,” Brockington said. “The turnaround time was completely unacceptable.” Some very extensive changes for the plan were

The design for a new roundabout on Walkley Road West at the Airport Parkway is now a feature of the city’s newly unveiled recommended plan for the future widening of the parkway and Lester Road. The city has extended the public comment period on the project until April 7. presented during the recent open house. Those include a roundabout on Walkley Road West where a southbound off-ramp would allow mo-

torists to exit onto Walkley, as well as new plans to shift the construction of the parkway’s two new lanes to the east away from residents’ homes.

The community was also presented with a redesign of Walkley Road West. Those features include transforming two lanes of traffic into dedicated turn lanes in the approach to McCarthy Road, and elongating one of those lanes, as well as adding concrete medians at two locations. The elongated lane is needed to make room for an increased volume of cars that will be waiting to turn at that traffic light with the opening of the off-ramp, said Brockington. Some of these new design components are not sitting well with local residents. Many are concerned over the projected increase in traffic a new parkway offramp will direct onto Walkley, which they believe won’t be able to accommodate that kind of traffic volume, Brockington said. City staff and project consultants have said Walkley can, in fact, handle an increase during peak afternoon commute times.

Brockington has also been critical of plans to build concrete barriers on Walkley at Thorndale and Southmore drives and Wexford Way. “I’m willing to do it if we try turning restrictions (first) and they don’t work and

“The turnaround time was completely unacceptable.” RIVER COUN. RILEY BROCKINGTON

they’re not enforced, and we’re just overwhelmed with traffic onto Southmore,” Brockington said, adding that only as a last result and with the community’s endorsement should the barriers be built. Given the number of changes presented in the plan since it was presented last June, the councillor said

the tight comment deadline decided by staff was “very bizarre.” “This (environmental assessment) started in 2014,” said Brockington. “There’s been extensive meetings and time to review and now you’re slapping on these final recommendations, which are quite drastic in many respects, and you expect that in less than two weeks the whole community’s going to be ready to go here.” Staff plan to present their report on the results of the environmental assessment study of the widening to the city’s transportation committee in May or June. To submit feedback on information presented at the recent open house, email Frank McKinney, the city’s project manager, at frank. mckinney@ottawa.ca, or call 613-580-2424, ext. 28540.

This summer’s supervised beach season at four city beaches has been extended by one week.

Council approves more supervised beach time Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Ottawa residents can look forward to a longer season of supervised swimming at four city beaches this summer. City council voted March 23 to lengthen this year’s beach season by one week until the last Sunday in August before the Labour Day weekend – making it 72 days, up from 65 – in response to public demand to have beaches at Mooney’s Bay, Britannia, Petrie Island and Westboro supervised and maintained beyond last year’s mid-August closing date, which coincided with a heat wave. Beach-goers can use the beaches throughout the warm months, but must do so at their own risk when they are not staffed. “We heard from resi-

dents last summer that they wanted the beaches open longer,” said KnoxdaleMerivale Coun. Keith Egli, who moved the motion, and which was seconded by Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans. MORE MONEY

It will mean an additional operating cost of $31,000. This will be offset by savings with the temporary closure of the outdoor Crestview Pool in Nepean, which is being rebuilt this year. The pool facility is expected to be reopened in 2017. “I believe councillors Egli and Deans have found an effective way of extending the beach season and keeping the budget in line, which is great,” Mayor Jim Watson said during the city council meeting discussion. This solution, which al-

lows the season to be extended but within budget, was preferred over the alternative of shuffling around opening and closing dates for the city-owned beaches. That would have resulted in some closing on different dates. That would have created a lot of confusion for people, Egli said. “There was also a level of unfairness in the sense that if you lived close to a particular beach you’d have access,” he told council. “If you happened to live further away then you wouldn’t because your beach was closed.” Additional funding to extend future beach seasons will be included in future draft budgets. In the case of the 2017 season, staff said they are confident additional dollars can be found in the parks and recreation department’s operating budget.

Age has no bearing on what it takes to be a hero. At Featherston Drive Public School in Alta Vista, the proof was in the pile of toys that quickly grew into a mountain in just one week – the product of a generous student body and the creative efforts of a core group of Grade 8 students. The toy drive organizers are being hailed as heroes for spearheading a campaign that has so far generated more than 1,000 items, all of which will be donated to Syrian refugee families settling into their new lives in Ottawa. “They’re not going to bring toys with them, so they need something to play with,” said Dima Mansour, 13, who was part of the organizing team. “They want to have fun. So we’re going to give them something.” “I’m super proud of them,” said Grade 8 teacher Nick Janna, who initially broached the idea of starting a school-based community project along with Grade 7 teacher Sarah McKnight. But it was the students who ultimately chose to support Syrian families.

“The real heart-wrencher for us was Syrian kids going to playgroups and then they want to leave with the toys,” Janna said of the disappointed tykes. “We decided we wanted to do a toy drive because we already have a lot of bake sales for cancer (programs and research), but we never really had anything for the Syrian refugees,” said Zena Alatrackhi, 13. The project has provided a number of important lessons for the student organizers and the other 300 students at Featherston. “Having a closer tie to our community is important,” Janna explained. “As far as fully student driven, this is why this one is the star for us right now.” Bouncy balls, toys cars, Pokemon items, tennis rackets, stuffies, Barbies, Lego and board games were among the treasures brought in – all encouraged through a number of creative means. The team filmed a video to show the condition of used toys that would be accepted. As well, Zena designed two candy-filled gift baskets the students could win for their efforts. See I SAW, page 19

‘I saw a better side of me’: student says of involvement Continued from page 18

Janna recalled printing out 500 raffle tickets and handing them over to the team members, who made the rounds at each classroom every morning seeking donations. Tickets were exchanged for donated items. It wasn’t long before Zena was asking for another batch of tickets. “I was stunned,” Janna said of the response. So were the organizers. “I didn’t expect over 1,000 (toys),” Anuja Khadka, 13, said with a laugh. “I thought (we’d collect) maybe 100, 200.” The team also appealed to the students during an assembly. Mansour said the community service project has taught her several important skills, such as how to organize events and get others to support a cause. “Then when I get older it’ll be easier and I’m going to make a bigger change because then I’ll be allowed going out alone, travelling the world, helping out other people,” she said. Zhara Alaabboudy, 13, said she wanted to help organize the toy drive to make a difference in the lives of other young people. “I think it’s important to donate some stuff to kids because they had nothing,” she said. “And I think everyone should get involved too.”

For Kritisha Acharya, also 13, the toy drive has been a life-changing experience. “I saw a better side of me. You know, helping out kids,” she said with a smile. “And now I know what to do.” Likewise, Zena hopes the donated items will help comfort the youngest refugees. “Probably the kids are really scared because they just came from a country that had war and they don’t know who to trust anymore,” she said. “So we thought toys would welcome them and make them happy.” Anuja relished the chance to go into each classroom to collect toys. The 13-year-old said she got involved to help refugees who will be starting over in every way. “I don’t think they’re going to have a lot of financial support, so I don’t think they’re going to have a lot of money to buy new toys,” Anuja said. Watching the organizing team blossom and engage their peers has been a teacher’s dream, said Janna. “I wish that I had documented them going through the school with their stuff, and people saying, ‘You guys are heroes,’” he said. “‘There’s some kid that has no toys and you’re going to give (some) to them. You’re a hero.’” To donate a new or gently used toy, call the school at 613-731-3357.

Specifically the plan includes extending the future Confederation Line further east from Blair Station to an interim terminal at Place d’Orléans station and, ultimately, to Trim Road (see Ottawa.ca/easternlrt or Ottawa.ca/tlrest for further information). The plan includes options to service the community of Orleans and adjacent lands. New stations will be located at Montreal Road, Jeanne d’Arc Boulevard, Orléans Boulevard and the terminal station at Place d’Orléans. Additional stations will ultimately be constructed at Brisebois Crescent/Mockingbird Drive (Orleans Town Centre), east of Tenth Line Road and the terminus of the line at Trim Road. Preliminary engineering review has resulted in design refinements to the alignment between Blair Station and Montreal Road Station. These changes have no additional environmental impact, reduce implementation costs, and have been incorporated into the Environmental Project Report.

Solidarity The City of Ottawa raised Belgium’s flag, centre, on March 22 at the request of Mayor Jim Watson to mourn the loss of life and express the sadness of residents in Ottawa over the terrorist attacks on the City of Brussels. Watson requested the flag be flown after bombings at the Zaventem Airport and Maelbeek Metro Station in the capital city of Belgium.

Impacts to private property are not anticipated as the preferred alternative for the East LRT alignment is entirely within the right-of-way of Highway 174. The Process The environmental impact of this transit project was assessed and an Environmental Project Report (EPR) prepared according to the Transit Project Assessment Process as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects and Greater Toronto Transportation Authority Undertakings. The EPR documents the entire study process, including a description of the planned project, its anticipated environmental impacts, and the project’s consultation program. The EPR for the Confederation Line East LRT Extension project will be available for a 30-day public review period starting March 24, 2016 at the locations noted below during their regular business hours.

Meet our new spring student intern, Tanya Molloy Tanya Molloy

I remember watching a movie when I was young and coming across this side character who was more or less important to the movie’s story, but very important in today’s world. That per-

son was the reporter, and I thought to myself how cool it would be to expose the corrupt and get in touch with those who make the world a better place. Now I may not do all that, but I do get to talk to interesting people who are chang-

ing the world in their own way. And that is what I love about being in journalism. Getting to know my city and the people who make it what it is. But I never thought it would be something I would actually make a career out of.

I attended French school my entire life, until I was attending the pharmacy technician program at La Cité and found that I really sucked at sciences. I joined a pre-media program, and then moved on to Algonquin College, where I will be receiving my diploma for Journalism in April. Studying journalism, I found that behind each person is a story so different that it sets them apart from everyone else. I have found that it is within the uniqueness of people that we find the best stories to report on. I take special interest in stories focusing on social issues, mental health and social activism. I’ve written a about LGBTQ+ issues, art therapy, suicide prevention, consent on campuses and lacking food options on post-secondary campuses. During my time in college, I especially enjoyed profiling social activists,

Demonstrators bring ‘Black Lives Matter’ campaign to city Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

“Black lives matter” and “stop shooting us” came the chants. More than a dozen young people, most of them University of Ottawa students, converged on city hall, shouting their frustration over the unfair treatment of black people. “People like to pretend like racism here isn’t a thing. People like to pretend that black people and white people get along and everyone’s being treated equally,” said the group’s spokesperson, Centretown resident Vanessa Dorimain, who is black. “But that’s not the case. Our lives specifically are being targeted.” Ottawa police officers, security personnel and eventually some city councillors watched as the students, many of them members of the Canadian Federation of Students, chanted into a megaphone and waved signs. They shouted loudly but said they came in peace to call for change as well as to garner donations in support of the Toronto chapter of Black Lives Matter. “Black Lives Matter Toronto – they’re talking about issues, not just there in their city, but around the whole country,” Dorimain said. There is no Ottawa chapter at this time, but that could change given enough interest, said Dorimain, a social sciences major at the university. Ottawa needs to have a voice in

She also pointed to the police practice of randomly stopping

people, known as carding, and questioning and collecting identifying information from them. “Just because it’s against the law now, it doesn’t mean cops have stopped doing it, specifically targeting racialized folks, black people,” Dorimain said. She pointed to the decision not to lay charges against a Toronto police officer who last year fatally shot Andrew Loku, a 45-year-old black man with a history of mental

illness. Only through demonstrations will issues such as that remain in the spotlight, she said. Ottawa has seen a recent spate of shootings, which have claimed the lives of a number of young black men. Dorimain said the significance of these tragedies have been overshadowed by a debate over whether there are enough guns and gangs officers to counteract gun violence.

“People recognize that we’re not all treated equally,” Coun. Catherine McKenney told reporters after speaking with Dorimain. “We have to make sure that people who are more vulnerable in our society are recognized as such. “While violence happens to everyone, it doesn’t happen equally.” Here in Ottawa, there was universal disapproval when a Black Lives Matter mural in her ward was defaced last September. “We got feedback from across the city from people who wanted to express it. They were outraged with what happened,” McKenney said. She was the only councillor to approach the group of protesters after the morning’s council meeting came to a close. The students had hoped to gather statements from Mayor Jim Watson and his council colleagues in support of the advocacy work being done in Toronto. Dorimain was surprised when she learned city staff had locked themselves and councillors inside council chambers during the council meeting when protestors entered city hall. “That’s unbelievable,” she said. “That tells me that my body is automatically criminalized, that every time I walk in somewhere just talking about my life and how I want to be respected, I’m automatically seen as a criminal.” To see a video of the demonstration, go to ottawacommunitynews. com, or visit facebook.com/ottawacommunitynews.

Liberal MP touts fed budget as boost for LRT Brier Dodge

brier.dodge@metroland.com

OrlĂŠans MP Andrew Leslie says the high-spending federal budget is good for light rail transit development in Ottawa. The budget has $3.4 billion allocated to public transit infrastructure over the next three years through a new Public Transit Infrastructure Fund. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have money committed to the light rail transit, but listed accelerated design for new light rail transit lines in Greater Vancouver and Ottawa as examples of projects that might see money from the new fund. More money could help extend light rail to Trim Road and the airport, something Leslie said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in favour of pursuing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mayor Jim Watson is doing a great job at articulating that these phase two pluses should be looked at as the same sort of package,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So we have

to get it from Blair to Place dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;OrlĂŠans, then to Trim, but my intention is donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go to Place dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;OrlĂŠans and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re done.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Keep going. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the same thing with the airport extension. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop, just keep going.â&#x20AC;? He said both Trim and airport extensions are a year or two away from needing budget announcements. Leslie, a retired lieutenant-general, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t criticize his governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to hold off on military spending and said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any input into the decision to delay $3.7 billion in spending on military purchases. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been told the money will be there as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needed,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We inherited a disastrous defence procurement system, which has got to be fixed.â&#x20AC;? CRITICISM FIlE

There was something for just about every demographic it seemed in the budget,

OrlĂŠans MP Andrew Leslie shared his thoughts on the federal budget with Metroland Media. The Liberal government released the federal budget on March 22.

with funding for veterans, cleaning up water and the summer jobs program. But it was too much for opposition parties and critics. Carleton riding Conservative MP and official opposition critic for the Treasury Board, Pierre Poilievre, issued a press release in which he called the budget a â&#x20AC;&#x153;betrayal of the middle class.â&#x20AC;? He raised issue of the removal of the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fitness tax credit and textbook and education tax credits for both students and families. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is also a budget of broken promises. The Liberals promised a $10 billion deficit â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in reality we see a massive $29.4 billion deficit,â&#x20AC;? he said, and adding he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the Liberal government will be able to deliver a balanced budget by 2019. Leslie said with the cost of borrowing money low at this time, it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the right time to make budget cuts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were elected on a

platform of change, we were elected because people wanted investments in their communities,â&#x20AC;? Leslie said. BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS

Mayor says labour deals good for LRT project moving forward Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

New collective agreements for the city’s transit employees will ensure the construction of the new light-rail Confederation Line remains on track, says Mayor Jim Watson. The city’s transit commission and staff secured new deals with union officials representing the city’s 165 OC Transpo employees working in safety, enforcement, maintenance and capital projects, as well as transit supervisors. City council voted to ratify those contracts during its March 23 council meeting at

city hall. “One of the most important initiatives is, as we all know that the City of Ottawa has taken since amalgamation in 2001, is the construction of the Confederation Line,” Watson said. “This major project stands to transform the city for decades to come. NEGOTIATED SETTLEMENTS

“These negotiated settlements cover more than 85 per cent of OC Transpo’s approximately 2,700 employees,” Watson said. Solidifying the city’s relationship with its transit employees and unions is “a

critical step” in ensuring the success of the LRT line, he said. The agreements will provide a “stable” foundation for the testing, commission, launch and operation of the line when it opens in 2018, as well as for 2017 celebrations in Ottawa marking Canada’s 150th birthday, Watson said. The new contract spans a three-year term – from April 1, 2015 to March 31, 2018 – and includes wage increases of 1.75 per cent in 2015 and 2016, and two per cent in 2017. The new collective agreement is the latest in a series of deals reached over the past month, including a new

contract with Amalgamated Transit Union, Local 279. The agreement with Local 279 includes a two-per-cent pay increase for each of the first three years of the agree-

ment and a 2.25 per cent boost in the last year of the contract. “The new contract extends the current labour relations stability in OC

Transpo to 2020, which will facilitate the implementation of the Confederation Line,” city staff said of the deal with Local 279 in an emailed statement.

Chief Justice McLachlin receives Key to the City from mayor Megan DeLaire

mdelaire@metroland.com

Supreme Court Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin received Ottawa’s highest honour on March 22, when Mayor Jim Watson presented her with the Key to the City. McLachlin was praised for a distinguished judicial career in a ceremony at city hall attended by Gov. Gen. David Johnston and several municipal, provincial and federal politicians, including several members of city council and federal Environment Minister Catherine McKenna. Appointed as Chief Justice of Canada in 2000, McLachlin is the 17th Chief Justice of the Surpreme Court, the first woman to hold the title and the longest serving Chief Justice in Canadian history. In her acceptance speech, McLachlin recounted her first months in Ottawa, after moving to the city from Vancouver, B.C., in 1989 with her then 13-year-old son. She said she’d been warned that Ottawa was an emotionally cold city, and hard to “break into.” “That was what (people) said,

but that was not my experience,” she said. “Neighbours planted flamingos on my lawn as a sign of welcome.” McLachlin said that the city embraced warmly and enthusiastically, making the relocation easier. “Ottawa, in every sense of the word, has become our city,” she said. “It is Ottawa’s spirit that makes it an extraordinary and pleasing place, not just to visit but to inhabit.” Watson delivered a speech tracing McLachlin’s meteoric rise to the top of the Canadian judicial system, while Johnston predicted that her accomplishments would be remembered along with some of the most prominent aspects of Canadian history. “When the history of our civilization is written, this Chief Justice - the first female Chief Justice in the British Commonwealth … the longest-serving Chief Justice in Canadian history - will be known as one of the most distinguished jurists ever to serve in the British Commonwealth,” he said. After the speeches, Watson handed McLachlin a framed “key”

to the city, making her the 78th recipient of the honour. The Key to the City is awarded to distinguished people and honoured guests of the city, with roots stretching centuries back. Although Ottawa’s first key was presented to then Gov. Gen. Lord Tweedsmuir and his wife Lady Tweedsmuir in 1935, the tradition dates back to medieval times, when admission to a city was made difficult by legal restrictions, walls and locked gates. Some high-profile recipients of Ottawa’s most prestigious award include author Margaret Atwood, Hollywood actors Lorne Greene and Sandra Oh, actor and musician Dan Aykroyd, Queen Elizabeth II and former Ottawa Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson. Watson also received the award in 2000. Occasionally, institutions, groups and inanimate objects have also received the Key to the City. Those recipients include the South African Lawn Bowling Team, the National Arts Centre Orchestra, the University of Ottawa and Her Majesty’s Canadian Ship “Carleton.”

Coun. wants to license, restrict payday loan companies Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Vanier’s councillor is looking to turn up the heat on cash-loaning businesses in Ottawa. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury gave council a head’s up March 23 that he will be asking councillors to direct bylaw staff to draft a report on the controversial enterprises for the city’s community and protective services committee. “The interest and fees charged can exceed by several times the amount of the loan, and there is a clustering of payday establishments in an area where financially vulnerable people reside,” said Fleury, who has long been outspoken against the proliferation of these businesses in Vanier. The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, an advocacy group known as ACORN, has also been very vocal about the need to restrict where these types of businesses are

FILE

Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury plans to ask council for permission to have bylaw staff prepare a report on payday loan companies, complete with stakeholder input, for the community and protective services committee. His goal is to see these businesses licensed in order to limit their numbers and restrict where they can set up shop. allowed to operate. The group has said payday loan businesses are predatory companies.

The Municipal Act allows the city to create bylaws that ensure the economic, social and environmental well-being

of a city is respected, as well as the health, safety and wellbeing of people and property, Fleury said in his notice of

motion during the meeting. The act also gives the municipality consumer protection rights and the ability to

license businesses. Fleury pointed to the City of Hamilton, which just enacted a licensing bylaw targeting payday loan establishments on Feb. 14. However, he said, the Municipal Act doesn’t allow municipalities, through the licensing process, to restrict businesses in terms of location or number – other than those in adult entertainment. Fleury will call for an update to the city’s licensing bylaw so that payday loan businesses would need to be licensed by the end of the first quarter of this year. With approval from the committee and council, Fleury said he wants to see council ask the province to change the Municipal Act to give municipalities the power to enact licensing bylaws limiting these shops by location and number. Fleury said staff would be asked to consult with all stakeholders before the bylaw department’s report is submitted to committee.

Enthusiastic cyclists wanted for meet and greet Bike event to take place on April 2 Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

Love talking about wheel spokes? Or riding your bike in the winter? Does the need for more bike lanes or safer cycling initiatives really get you going? Well if it does, then Bike Ottawa has just the event for you. The local advocacy group will be hosting it’s annual Spring Bike Ottawa – an event where passionate cyclists can come and learn about local cycling updates as well as have the chance to bend the ear of a politician about the importance of safer infrastructure on city streets. “This is a good event for Ottawa residents to learn about what is going on in the cycling scene,” said Bike Ottawa spokesperson Heather Shearer. The event will begin at 1 p.m. on April 2 at the McNabb Recreation Centre in Centretown. There is space for 100 participants, and currently Shearer said 80 people have registered. This will be the fifth edition of the biking event, which will feature Bike Ottawa’s annual report on cycling, a report on winter cycling, intersection design presentation from the City of Ottawa, a short film screening, an update

from the NCC, a cycling research presentation and a presentation from an injury lawyer focusing on what to do if a cyclist is involved in a collision. Aside from the presentations, the day will also feature what Shearer said is the best part – a networking break where participants can talk to all different levels of politicians in one room. “The event shows how much interest there is in cycling, and showcases how important it is to people to cycle,” Shearer said. According to Eco-Counter, a data analysis company focusing on pedestrian and bike counting, Ottawa is the third fastest growing city experiencing bicycle traffic and Shearer said Bike Ottawa has noticed a 40 per cent growth in cyclists over the past five years. “Cycling has gotten massively better,” she said. “Ottawa has certainly gotten a lot better. We have a good plan (East-West Bikeway Plan) we just need to implement it sooner, clearly people want to cycle in Ottawa, so lets get it in sooner.” Shearer describes the event as casual and encourages cyclist enthusiasts to come out and participate in advocating for biking in this city. “Still a lot of work to do, but there has definitely been progress.” Interested cyclists can go to bikeottawa.ca to learn more about the event or to sign up. A recap of the event will be posted on Bike Ottawa’s website after the event for anyone who couldn’t make it out.

Taxi tap and go Mobile app launches in Ottawa Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

Ottawa residents in need of transportation in a hurry now have a new app for that. Blue Line Taxi and Capital Taxi have partnered with eCab, a French company, to offer customers a mobile app to connect customers with taxis in a matter of minutes. The app became available on March 24 in the city, and is currently already in Toronto and Vancouver as well as 36 countries around the world. According to eCab’s Gilles Gomis, the smartphone application can connect people

with the nearest cab, estimate costs for a taxi trip or book a cab for future need. It also offers customers the chance to rate a driver. The taxi app mirrors another driving app available in Ottawa, Uber Ottawa, which connects customers with individually-owned and operated drivers for trips in the city. INTRODUCTION

Since its introduction in Ottawa two years ago, there has been a battle between licensed taxi drivers in the city and drivers who work for Uber. With below market costs for a ride through Uber, local taxi drivers have complained that they are losing customers. Hanif Patni, president of

Coventry Connections, which operates both Blue Line and Capital Taxi, said this new mobile app isn’t about offering customers the same thing as Uber – a taxi at the tip of their fingers – the eCab option is a safer, authorized and licensed option. The main concern with Uber, Patnif said is that the cars are not always new, or in good, reliable order; there is no police checks, or licensing from the city and ultimately, taxi drivers feel it is not a proper operation. This new application changes that for licensed taxis in the city, Patnif said. “We can beat them on our standards. And we can beat them on our speed,” Patni said. The application is a free download on both Apple and Android devices, and will adapt in every city to automatically link customers with local cab companies.

Apple eggrolls with caramel sauce

INGREDIENTS

Sauce:

• 1/2 cup (125 mL) packed brown sugar • 1/4 cup (50 mL) 10 per cent half-and-half cream • 1 tbsp (15 mL) butter • Pinch salt • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) vanilla Filling: • 1/4 cup (50 mL) packed brown sugar •1 tbsp (15 mL) butter •1 tsp (5 mL) grated orange rind •3/4 tsp (4 mL) Chinese five spice powder • Pinch salt • 4 apples, peeled and

chopped (about 4 cups/1 L) • 8 eggroll wrappers • 1 tsp (5 mL) vegetable oil • 1 tbsp (15 mL) icing sugar PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

Sauce: In small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together sugar, cream, butter and salt until mixture comes to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, whisking occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 8 minutes. Stir in vanilla and set aside. Filling: In large skillet over medium heat, combine sugar, butter, orange rind, Chinese five spice powder and salt; cook, stirring occasionally until butter melts and mixture is bubbly, about 5 minutes.

Dan River Cotton had the power to change moods

he snow had all but gone from the fields, and our long lane was down to mud ruts showing the many trips to the Northcote side road by the sleigh and cutter over the winter.Â Â When we walked the lane on the way to school, we arrived with our gum rubbers covered with mud, and Miss Crosby made us leave them out on the step until they dried off, and at recess, the mud was scraped away with a twig from the big maple tree in the yard. The days still had a bite in the air, and until it really warmed up, you couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t smell spring. I loved the smell of spring, which my sister Audrey insisted smelled like any other time of the year.Â Â It was this time now,Â that Mother seemed to build up an energy, and it was like she was waiting for some-

MARY COOK Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories thing important to happen.Â Winter wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t her favourite time of the year, when the snow piled up around us, locking us into months of ice and cold that seemed to go on forever.Â Â And so with the first sign that winter was coming to an end, Mother had a restlessness about her, as if she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to see the first robin, or get her little boxes of vegetable seeds planted, or get into the spring housecleaning.Â Â That Saturday, there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough snow to take the cutter into Renfrew, and so Father hitched up the buggy, and Mother

set off early to peddle her eggs, butter, a few chickens, and of course her sticky buns.Â Audrey and I were left to do our chores and put dinner on the table when Father and the three brothers came in at noon hour. It was mid-afternoon before we saw Mother coming down the lane, with Nellie at an even trot. Stopping at the back door, and with what I thought was a real spring to her step, Mother brought in the supplies she had bought with the money realized from her sales in Renfrew.Â

And there was a bag, which I recognized immediately having come from Walkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Store.Â Â I was curious beyond measure to know what was in the bag, but of course, Audrey and I were ordered to unpack the tea, the sugar and the other few staples bought to replenish what was in the back-tothe-wall cupboard. The Walker Store bag sat on the kitchen table.Â Mother pulled the kettle to the front of the stove and when it started to steam, she made herself a cup of tea and sat down placing her hand on the mysterious bag.Â I was sure she was wearing what would pass for a smile. Finally, when I thought I would have to grab the Walkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Store bag and rip into it myself, Mother opened it up, and there was a folded piece of Dan

River cotton â&#x20AC;Ś checks in pinks, mauve and the palest blue.Â I could smell its newness all the way from the other end of the table.Â How I loved the smell of new material! I wondered what plans Mother had for it.Â New blouses for Audrey and me?Â A house dress for herself ?Â She had just made fresh flower bag curtains for the kitchen, so the new Dan River material wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for that.Â And it was much too pretty for just plain aprons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nineteen cents a yard... a bit pricey I thought.Â But well worth it,â&#x20AC;? Mother said, still rubbing her hands back and forth over the material. I finally asked her what purpose she had in mind for it.Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really know,â&#x20AC;? she said, looking out the window into the grape arbour.Â Â

She said nothing for the longest time.Â Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think there is anything quite like a new piece of Dan River cotton this time of year.Â It sort of puts an end to the winter, I think.â&#x20AC;?Â Â Â Â It amazed me how just spending less than a dollar on a piece of material could change my mother from a feeling of restlessness to such a feeling of sheer joy. All over a simple piece of Dan River Cotton print. It wasnâ&#x20AC;şt the first time a new piece of material changed Motherâ&#x20AC;şs mood ... nor would it be the last.

79 nabbed in distracted driving blitz Staff

Police in Ottawa and Gatineau issued 79 provincial offence notices to drivers using cell phones on March 22 as part of the Leave the Phone Alone distracted driving enforcement campaign. The campaign saw officers in the two cities conduct city-wide blitzes that morning, targeting drivers using the handheld devices. “With advance warning about (the) campaign, we were pleased to see that drivers heeded the warning to focus on their driving,” said Ottawa police Sgt. Denis Hull. “These traffic initiatives serve as a reminder that distracted driving is dangerous every day and drivers should always make the choice to leave the phone alone.”

According to the Ottawa Police Service’s 2015 public survey, the top concern identified by residents on a city-wide level was distracted driving, followed by speeding, street gangs, the presence of drugs and youth crime. Distracted driving was also listed as the top concern on the neighbourhood level. Following the campaign, police listed the roles that everyone can play to prevent texting or talking while driving, including: • Drivers can put their phones away while driving; • Passengers can remind drivers to focus on their driving if they reach for the phone; • Children can remind parents not to drive distracted. Anyone can take a pledge not to text and drive at Leavethephonealone.ca.

Bélanger receives Médaille du 22 Mars Only 22 medals created, Bélanger receives the ninth Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

On March 22, 1997, more than 10,000 supporters fought to save the Montfort Hospital, a small francophone hospital in Ottawa’s east end, which was slated to close. That protest helped save the hospital and in 2004, to commemorate that accomplishment, the hospital created a medal – s a symbol of pride, determination and perseverance. Only 22 medals were created, and on April 15, the ninth medal will be given to Ottawa-Vanier’s MP Mauril Bélanger. Described as “a tireless defender of the rights of Francophone minority communities,” by the hospital, Bélanger was one of the supporters who filled the Ottawa Civic Centre, in an effort to save the hospital.

Ottawa-Vanier MP Mauril Bélanger will be presented with the Médaille du 22 Mars on April 15. The medal marks the importance of the date of March 22, 1997, when more than 10,000 supporters of Montfort Hospital filled the Ottawa Civic Centre. They were responding to the S.O.S. Montfort call, just 26 days after an announcement that Montfort would be closed. Bélanger has been Ottawa-Vanier’s MP since he won a byelection in 1995. He was easily re-elected in 2015, with more than 57 per cent of the vote. Upon re-election, he submitted his name for the position

of Speaker of the House of Commons, but on Nov. 30 Bélanger withdrew his candidacy after he received the diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) On March 9, Bélanger sat in the

Speakers chair in the House of Commons for the day, presiding with the use of an iPad app that generated a computerized voice. When asked about receiving one of the 22 medals made, Bé-

langer sent Ottawa East News his comments in an email. “I am deeply touched and honoured to receive the Montfort Hospital’s “médaille du 22 mars” recognition,” Bélanger wrote. “ Montfort Hospital has always been dear to my heart. I actively took part in the fight against the closure of the Montfort Hospital, the only francophone hospital in Ontario. “ Bélanger added he assisted in the relocation of the Department of National Defense Medical Centre to the hospital, as well as the revitalization of Montfort, which was completed in 2009, resulting in the addition of 700 jobs. “The medal is a powerful symbol of the Franco-Ontarians perseverance,” he wrote. “I sincerely thank the Montfort Hospital for this great honor.” Hospital Montfort is a Francophone academic health institution that provides care in both official languages. It is also designated a Group A teaching hospital. The ceremony will take place at the hospital on April 15, at 2 p.m.

Council balks over upping ice times for emerging sports groups Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A chorus of upset councillors says any increase in the amount of facility rental times given to new sports groups each year would need a new round of public consultation. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury’s bid to increase sports field, ball diamond and ice time availability to up to 10 per cent from up to five per cent was met with 19 dissenting votes at the March 23 council meeting. Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder took the reins in criticizing Fleury’s motion to change the city’s rental policy refresh currently in development, saying it came out of left field. “Some of us were part of this allocation process and this is news to me,” she said, before asking for clarification from staff. “Certainly

FILE

Council has defeated a proposed change that would have seen more rental times at city facilities, such as sports fields, go to new sports groups. Those in opposition said another increase would have been going back to the drawing board for another round of public consultation. the people who are our users and who we support with our sports programs and facilities are not expecting this, just like we were not expecting it.” Staff determined five per cent is enough, giving returning groups a chance to adjust to whatever their new schedule allocation might be. It would also allow for about 1,000 new users to rent out the city’s arenas, said Dan Chenier, manager of the city’s parks and recreation department. “With the five per cent, even though it sounds like

a small percentage, it actually equates to a significant amount of hours that the city has the ability to transfer in each year of the four years before we do it all again in year five,” he said. Fleury told his colleagues he was “sad” over their reaction given the “fulsome discussion” that previously took place at the committee level that began with 30 per cent, which he understands is a big risk. However, he pointed out that committee members said they were willing to go down to 10 per cent on the

spot, which he said would have sufficed for a growing sport.“It’s a great step in the right direction,” said Fleury, whose motion was supported by Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney and Osgoode Coun. George Darouze. “It really corrects the issue we had in terms of the historical allocation, the unfair advantage that male hockey teams have, in this case, over women’s hockey teams, and applies across different sports categories. “I’m concerned that we’re just re-establishing a new

historical baseline.” If staff were given the authority to dole out up to 10 per cent of available rental times to emerging groups, staff would use their discretion to only take what’s needed and when, Chenier added.Harder said those councillors who worked on the rental policy revamp initially faced an uphill battle with a lot of “push back” from sporting groups. Even with their input, the eventual decision wasn’t easy to make. “To change it now is absolutely wrong,” said Harder, adding that deviating from five per cent would require another round of public consultation. Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans agreed. “If we want to go to 10 per cent then we should go back and do it all over again,” she said. Others around the table echoed Harder, including

Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney, who said the policy refresh, which he said was developed through “countless meetings (and) hours and hours of telephone calls and emails,” was to ensure people could access the facilities, remove the penchant for doling out facility times to groups that have been renting the same sites for years and create a sustainable model. College Coun. Rick Chiarelli said 10 per cent is better than 30, but it still gives staff too much leeway. “I don’t think it’s a good idea to have variance with no accountability to the public and the users in the first place, but if we’re going to do it, five per cent I think is as far as we should go,” Chiarelli said. “We are the ones elected. We are the ones supposed to make the decisions.” - with files from Jennifer McIntosh

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

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!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, expect quite a few opportunities to have fun this week. Just do not disregard any work or other personal responsibilities in the process. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, an energy is growing between you and another person who recently entered your life. Others will soon begin to notice the sparks are flying. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 You are in a good position to help a friend or coworker this week, Gemini. Although the offer may not be immediately accepted, after time this person will seek you out. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, while working on a big project, you may be frustrated by the pace others are working at. But exercise patience, as this is a task that requires considerable cooperation. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, make a good impression on everyone you meet this week by beginning your conversation with a smile. Remember, accepting others and being polite can help you make friends. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Responsibilities at work leave you feeling more frazzled than before, Virgo. Remember to take a step away every so often so you can regroup and recharge.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, certain aspects of your life may prove a little topsy-turvy this week. This unpredictable period may change your perspective for the better. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, embrace a new responsibility for the challenge it presents. This is a unique opportunity to illustrate your ability to adapt and handle something new. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, don’t expect to be surprised this week. You are locked in and can see whatever is coming long before it arrives. Use this to your advantage. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, take a step back if your approach to a problem is not leading to a solution. Some time away might provide the new perspective you need to find the answer after all. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, do not procrastinate when others request your feedback. Give a prompt answer and be definitive in your explanation so there is no chance for misinterpretation. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 After coming up with a few dead ends this week, you soon realize you have to take another approach, Pisces. Gemini can guide you. 0331
