‘Treated like dirt’: Herongate tenants oppose rent hikes Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Alex Laffin and his family have their backs to the wall – one that actually has a hole in it.

The Herongate resident says he, his wife and their seven-year-old son, William, are at risk of becom-

ing homeless due to a rent hike this year for their one-bedroom apartment at 2870 Cedarwood Dr., where they have lived for 14 years. “We can’t afford to go anywhere else,” said Laffin. “If I move, I’ll be homeless.”

near Plante Drive in the Hunt Club neighbourhood on April 24 at approximately 11 p.m.

Police were able to pinpoint the footage based on the victim’s description of his assailants and information that the suspects had boarded an OC Transpo bus in the area just after the swarming.

“They loosely fit the description of the suspects in the general area a short time after the robbery,” Haarbosch said of the persons of interest, who were never considered suspects. “We couldn’t identify them internally, so we went to the media for assistance in identifying them.”

Police now have little to go on to crack the case.

“It’s too early for me to say this with any certainty but it’s possible this leads to the closure of the file as unsolved,” said Haarbosch.

“At this point we have no other images, we have no suspects,” he

added. “At this point, we’d really be relying on somebody that has specific information about it to give us a call or through Crime Stoppers.”

In some cases, an unrelated arrest can also turn up leads in other cases, even other suspects, he said, adding that something could pop up months from now that give investigators the break they need.

“These things have an unlimited shelf life,” said Haarbosch.

During the April swarming, the victim was approached by two males on foot who asked to borrow his phone. The victim said he didn’t have a phone, but the suspects then followed him and demanded he give them his wallet. The victim, who is in his 20s, was not injured.

If you have information about this swarming, you are asked to call the robbery unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5116, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Report doesn’t deal with lack of consultation: Coun.

Who says furniture that looks this great can’t feel great too?

Integrity report into Mooney’s Bay mega park released Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

River Coun. Riley Brockington says the lack of public consultation was the missing piece of the integrity commissioner’s report on the mega park proposed for Mooney’s Bay. The report was released July 8. It says the deal with the production company broke the city’s lobbyist registry rules.

In a memo to council, city manager Steve Kanellakos said the project was complicated with multiple partners – including the National Capital Commission.

“New partnerships and innovative approaches to service delivery can result in real advancements for residents,” the memo reads.

“However, it can also lead to communication challenges and the need to adapt to different processes and procedures.”

Staff should have informed Sinking Ship Entertainment, which produces children’s television shows, of the need to register with the city’s lobbyist registry, Kanellakos said, and that he would ask the city clerk to review the lobbyist registry and sponsorship policies with staff.

Brockington, who said he keeps information on the lobbyist registry with his business cards to hand out as needed, said he’s glad city

staff will get a “refresher” now, but that’s not good enough.

Many residents have protested the park project, citing a lack of public consultation as a major concern, since they had no say on the site selection or the nearly $1 million in cash-in-lieu of park land monies.

Brockington said that he asked Sinking Ship three times to host public consultations – and was turned down each time.

In response to media reports that the production company has said it was willing to hold consultations, Brockington said it’s unfortunate that it is now changing its tune.

“Now that the temperature has been turned up, it’s unfortunate,” he said.

Aside from the registry, staff followed the processes set out, and those processes

need to be changed, Brockington said.

Going forward, parks that will use significant public space and funds should be considered by the city’s community and protective services committee, Brockington said.

A recent approval of a bike park in Carlington Hill will go through the same process, he said, adding he plans to do the same whenever he can.

“That way elected officials get to vet the park,” he said, adding the public will also have an opportunity to have their say at the committee’s meeting.

The Mooney’s Bay mega park will have 10 mini parks that represent each province, and the construction will be filmed for the TVO show called Giver with children from across the country pitching in.

SUMMER COMPANY Staples Youth Entrepreneurship Day

As the MPP for Ottawa South, I am proud to announce that last month the Ministry of Economic Development and Growth, in partnership with Staples Canada, held the third annual Summer Company Staples Youth Entrepreneurship Day. This event showcases some of the brightest entrepreneurial students our province has to offer as they take on the challenge of running their own summer businesses.

Young Ontarians deserve rewarding employment, and we are committed to helping our youth become job creators rather than job seekers. Through the Summer Company program, students aged 15 to 29 receive hands-on business training and mentoring as well as grants of up to $3,000 to start and run their own summer business.

Since 2001, Summer Company has helped over 6,850 students launch a summer businesses. And, 86% of participants indicate that they plan to continue to operate their business after the summer or consider entrepreneurship as a career choice.

Rent hike application subject of hearing Continued from page 1

Their unit is one of about 350 that could see its rent raised this year by five per cent – above the standard allowable two-per-cent annual increase.

Tenants have been told the hike – which would work out to about $50 for some – will help offset $10 million in renovations and upgrades Timbercreek Communities made to the balconies, windows and underground parking garages at four high rises on Baycrest and Cedarwood drives.

“When these expenses are incurred, an allowable rent increase would take those expenses into account. It will not recover anywhere near the full cost, but it will recover some of the cost,” said David Lyman, a lawyer with Ottawabased Dickie & Lyman Lawyers.

He will be representing Timbercreek when the company’s rent increase applica-

tion is heard by the Landlord Tenant Board on July 15.

Because the hike is higher than the 2016 two-per-cent guideline increase, it must be approved.

The board will calculate any increase based on how much Timbercreek spent on the property.

the increase that would be in excess of nine per cent.”

The boost will bring those units closer to market rates.

Hundreds of other renters are already paying rates closer to market value and their rents won’t be affected by this application, Lyman said.

“What we’re doing is well

“It will not recover anywhere near the full cost, but it will recover some of the cost.”

DAVID LYMAN, TIMBERCREEK LAWYER

Lyman is anticipating that an approximately nine per cent increase can be phased in.

“So this application could affect the rents for the next three years,” Lyman said.

“I expect the over $10 million worth of expenses in the two applications affecting the four buildings would justify

within the guidelines and many of the residents in the rent-control system are still far below what market is today,” said Colleen Krempulec, Timbercreek’s executive director of marking.

The company has made “significant, heavy investments” since it bought the

property four years ago, she said. “We’re doing it because we’re committed to the community.”

Laffin said residents didn’t ask for those exterior upgrades.

“Sure, it makes the building look nice to attract new tenants to move in, but what about us?” he said as he marched in protest against the rent hikes with about two-dozen tenants and members of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, known as ACORN, on July 11.

It is challenging to get repairs and renovations done in individual units, said Laffin.

His kitchen sink backed up and flooded the floor two and three times a day for many years, up until two months ago, and his family also waited two years for plumbing repairs before they could shower and bathe in hot water.

River Road, between Mitch Owens and Leitrim roads, is now in the process of being resurfaced.

The work was scheduled to begin July 12 and will continue until Sept. 2.

“Work will consist of milling/pulverizing (the) entire roadway, including shoulders, ditching as needed, removing and replacing (the) concrete curb and sidewalk at Mitch Owens (Road), followed by the installation of (the) road base,” the city said in a community notice.

After the road base is put in, workers will place two asphalt lifts, install new shoulders, and then complete tieins to driveways and side roads along that stretch.

River Road will be open during the construction period, although it will be reduced to one lane. A flag person will be present. Impact to cyclists and motorists is considered medium, and the impact to pedestrians will be low, according to the city.

Timbercreek insists timely repairs to units a priority Continued from page 4

“I forgot what life was like with a hot bath,” he said.

When that was finally repaired, workers left behind a hole in the wall that is still there.

Laffin and his wife, who relies on disability payments, can barely pay their current rent of $897. The stress is mounting as they face a higher than usual rent increase.

“If I don’t get a job in three months, I don’t know what I’m going to do,” he said.

Mavis Finnamore, who lived in a Timbercreek property in Herongate for 30 years before she was evicted earlier this year with more than 50 other families to make room for a new development, said given Timbercreek’s poor maintenance record, “they have a lot of gall asking for a rent increase above the recommended level.”

“What this is going to do is put more pressure on people to use food banks,” the longtime ACORN chapter leader

said.

“Poor people don’t deserve to be treated like dirt,” Finnamore told the crowd of peaceful protesters.

Richard Raftus has lived in the same building as Laffin for 12 years. He pays $914 for a one bedroom, but will have to pay $947 starting September.

“I’d be looking into moving somewhere else or cutting back on something, like cable or Internet,” he said, but added he can’t afford to skim more dollars from an already tight budget.

“I’m pretty well down to the bare bones as it is,” Raftus said.

He has been waiting at least two years for action on 10 outstanding repair orders, for jobs such as broken closet doors. He was told his unit is so old and need of renovations, that he should relocate to a renovated unit.

That will mean a higher rent because hydro won’t be included.

“If you’re going to raise the rent that much, show us

have done in the first place.”

But Timbercreek’s representative rejected the claim that repairs were city-ordered,

and said repairs are a priority and the turn-around time varies depending on the extent of the work.

“Maintaining our properties and ensuring resident satisfaction is an absolute priority for us,” said Krempulec.

South Keys resident Zaid Al-Sadoon writes in Arabic during the Eid Festival at the EY Centre on July 6.

“In all honesty, I wish I didn’t have to talk to you about your toilet. Ever…”

• But there’s something I’ve just got to tell you.

No one wants to talk about toilets, but in my business we don’t have a choice. In fact, it’s my obligation to tell you that your “current” toilet’s poor performance is not your imagination.

lals, as it was their first Ramadan in Canada. For the past five months, the Syrian refugees, who arrived here from Jordan, have been adapting to life in Vanier with the support of a group of Ottawa residents who privately sponsored them.

Nour said their new lives here are thanks to God. Her two children have settled into school life. They are all learning English. And the family is now anticipating the arrival of a new edition. Nour is pregnant with her third child, who will be born a Canadian.

Other families also had much to be thankful for during the 12-hour Eid el-Fitr celebration, held a day after Muslims broke their final fast.

“This was the toughest Ramadan because the days were so long,” said Kanata resident Sherif Awad, who volunteered during the festival, organized by the Ottawa chapter of the Muslim Association of Canada.

It’s wasting water. It’s the old “good intentions/bad results” scenario. The Ontario government passed a law to reduce water consumption, and that law mandated that new toilets use only 6 litres of water.

While the law is good, the toilet designs are bad. And that has led to something almost comical: The “new, conserving” toilets must regularly be flushed two or more times, which means they use more water than the “old” toilets. The problem was so

And we’ve got the best one. Gerber works first time, every time. As plumbers, we know quality, and this is superb. The enameled porcelain is superior; as are the fittings, valves, and seriously engineered construction.

Families count their blessings as Ramadan comes to an end Continued from page 6

Every year, the special month in which Muslims do not eat or drink anything or participate in intimate relations from sunrise to sunset moves 11 days back every year, in keeping with the lunar calendar.

This time around fasting periods stretched on for as long as 17-and-a-half hours because the days are longer at this time of year.

Still, this Ramadan was extra special for many people, particularly for many new Canadians and refugees, like the Bilals, who celebrated the holy month for the first time in Canada, said Awad.

The festival is designed to bring Muslims together, build cultural bridges and serve as a way to connect with newcomers, helping chase away potential homesickness. In addition to stage shows and good food, the event featured several bouncy castles and arcade games, as well as a row of vendor’s tables where many parents treated their children to new toys.

They feel that they are closer to home,” Awad said of many of Ottawa’s newest citizens, who spent the day forging new connections at the convention centre. “It reminds them of home when they come here and see their food and their culture and people who speak their language.

“It’s a way for them to build bridges and get to know the community and help them integrate into society,” he said.

South Keys resident Zaid Al-Sadoon spent the day with his twin boys and 16-year-old son at an exhibit table hosted by the Darussalam Iraqi Canadian Association, where festivalgoers could look over dozens of photos showcasing Iraq’s heritage, from ancient to modern times.

The Eid celebration is a way for the association to connect with a larger audience, including new Canadians, and invite them to join in monthly potlucks and other community events, which are often held at the Heron Community Centre, said Al-Sadoon, an association board member.

The father of four still remembers the day he first came to Canada with his wife and eldest son eight years ago in the aftermath of the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.

Though he has faced a recent challenge in securing a teaching job after recently earning his doctorate degree in civil engineering from the University of Ottawa, he said life in Canada has given his family many blessings.

“Human rights, freedom of speech, dignity. You feel like a human being,” he said, the sounds and sights of revelry all around him.

“We even feel this is our first home.”

Take time to get hospital right

T

he National Capital Commission is taking its time to decide where an expansion of the Ottawa Hospital’s Civic campus should be located.

It’s a decision worth waiting for. Better a good decision than a quick one we live to regret.

The first attempt was ham-fisted, and would have cut away land from the Central Experimental Farm. The public had no real say in the matter, and former MP John Baird – the local liaison with the NCC – seemed content to ignore those voices.

The location was convenient but the farm is cherished by many people – some who live nearby and some from far away.

This was not a case of NIMBY-ism.

Farm supporters know the thin end a wedge when they see one. If part of the farm could be sliced away for the hospital expansion, another “good cause� could come along anytime, and the farm could eventually be sacrificed, field by field.

The NCC is now re-investigating preferred sites for the Civic expansion, including a list of 12 sites pinpointed back in 2008. A recommen-

dation is expected in November.

While it would be nice to have a quick decision, getting it right is crucial. What is eventually constructed will stand for decades; a poor, rushed decision about its location must be avoided.

Proximity to the existing Civic campus would be nice but should not limit the decision makers.

The Civic is but one campus managed by the Ottawa Hospital. If a new campus is created – distant from the Civic – there will be no need to add layers of management. The new building(s) and all the existing campuses will be operated by the same management team.

A new site brings new opportunities. Existing departments at the other campuses that desperately need more space could be moved to the new property, and that in turn could free up space in existing buildings. Demand never goes down, only up.

There are growing, global medical challenges the Ottawa Hospital could address through expansion – potentially benefiting people around the world. And people here in Ottawa.

But only if we get it right.

Piano at city hall a symbol of openness and inclusion

I

t’s funny: just as I was thinking about writing something nice about the piano in the Ottawa City Hall lobby somebody wrote about it in an Ottawa daily newspaper, suggesting that not everyone there likes it all that much.

Actually, you can understand that. Wandering through the city hall ground floor at odd times during the jazz festival, I noticed that the piano was always being played, sometimes really well, sometimes less so, and wondered how the people working near it would feel about. Sometimes, no matter how well an instrument is being played, you wouldn’t mind silence for a while.

But that’s the merest of quibbles. In the larger sense, it’s hard not to admire the decision to put a piano out in the lobby of an

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town important government building for just anyone to sit down and play. What an odd thing to do, but it symbolizes, to me, a spirit of openness that is rare at any level of government.

Whoever is making decisions like that at city hall deserves our praise, even if the piano doesn’t always sound that great. And most of the time it does. The nicest thing about it is that nobody has to sign anything to play it. In an over-regulated society, nobody is regulating it.

It is a totally unbureaucratized

piano.

Typically, people hear it when they are wandering through city hall, as people do. They use the lobby as a short-cut between Lisgar Street and Laurier Avenue.

Or they hear the piano when they emerge from the parking lot underneath, a favourite of those who attend the jazz festival or, in colder times, skate on the Rink of Dreams, another unregulated pleasure that city hall affords, or use the city hall washrooms.

If you were a little kid you could sit down at the piano and practise your recital piece, or maybe try to pick out some tune your heard on the radio. You might do that while your parents are wandering through the city hall art gallery, a much-overlooked institution that puts on exhibitions of high quality throughout the

year and at no charge to the public. Openness to the arts is another welcome feature.

Many people have fond recollections of the previous city hall on Sussex Drive, out by what is now Global Affairs. It was a striking building. But the current city hall, which was once regional headquarters is more centrally located and, as a result, better used. Its ease of access is not just for festival-goers, gallery attenders and those who park underneath but for those who want to drop in on city council meetings. That is important for local democracy.

‘Bold’ designs coming to Ottawa airport’s duty free shops Renovations expected to be completed in early 2017 Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The Ottawa airport’s two duty free shops will be undergoing a “bold” transformation.

The new operator of the shops will be the Miamibased DFASS Group, which stands for Duty Free Air and Ship Supply, the Ottawa International Airport Authority announced July 7.

The news comes on the heels of a request-for-proposals process that began late last year and wrapped up in March.

In making its choice, the airport authority said it was looking for an operator that could provide unique and welcoming store designs, a sense of place reflecting Ottawa and its status as the nation’s capital, a commitment to providing excellent service

and offering high-quality, locally-sourced and engaging products.

The company, which is one of the largest duty-free operators in North America with a presence in more than 25 airports, including Dallas-Fort Worth, Orlando International, Newark Liberty, Chicago O’Hare and in Mexico, will take over operation of the Ottawa airport’s duty free concessions starting Sept. 1.

INTERNATIONAL

The shops are located in the areas for international passengers and for transborder travellers.

The global company, which was founded in 1987 and today has 600 full-time employees, also bills itself as the world’s largest in-flight duty free specialty retailer.

It also provides in-flight pouring, as well as airport and ground store and wholesale distribution services.

DFASS will begin implementing its new store concepts at Ottawa’s airport in September. Renovations are expected to be finished in early 2017.

The “boldness” of the company’s store designs caught the Ottawa airport authority’s attention.

A design rendering shows seating areas, a brightly lit interior and an array of goods and services for sale.

The exterior has an angular and colourful design.

“We’ve seen the passion and creativity that DFASS has brought to the table with their recent project in Terminal D at Dallas-Fort Worth,” Mark Laroche, president and chief executive of the Ottawa International

Airport Authority, said in a statement.

“And the fact that the same design was engaged to work on this project here in Ottawa shows the priority that DFASS has given this opportunity and the enthusiasm with which they approach new markets,” he

said.

DFASS is equally as excited for the opportunity, its ground stores president said in the statement.

UNIQUE RETAIL

“Our global duty free experience, and our familiar-

ity with the Canadian duty free environment by way of our program with Air Canada, will allow us to create a unique retail program,” Jonathan Potash said.

The company’s arrival in Ottawa is part of its bid to expand its presence in North American airports.

‘Missed opportunity’: Bayview plan falls short, says former coun. heights, which Brown said aren’t enough, why not construct eight or nine storeys?

But there is a current cap of six storeys. Anything higher would require amendments to the official plan and secondary plan, Gord MacNair, the city’s director of real estate partnerships and development office, said in an email obtained by Metroland Media.

Anything higher than

Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A for sale sign is up at the vacant Bayview school site, but a longtime area resident and former city councillor said the city should freeze the sale of the land so that a community design plan can first be developed.

The advantages of the plan would prevent vacant and underutilized properties in Riverside Park from being parcelled off piecemeal, and instead allow for sites to be developed and integrated within a broader community context, said George Brown, who first raised his concerns in writing to Mayor Jim Watson, River Coun. Riley Brockington and city staff in April.

“I just think it’s a lousy plan that is the maximum that the city could get without upsetting some neighbours. I’ve never believed in planning that way,” said Brown. “What is the best plan for that site? I don’t think we have it.

“It’s a missed opportunity in an inner suburban site.”

A high-concept plan for the 4.3-hectare vacant lot, which includes low and medium density and a park, was developed during two rounds of community consultation, first when former River Ward councillor Maria McRae was in office, and more recently under Brockington’s watch.

The mostly residential plan does not include groundfloor retail or shops.

“Where’s the mixed used?

The city talks about urban villages and how they want to intensify. I don’t see this at all,” Brown said.

A large vacant site on

OFFICE OF COUN. RILEY BROCKINGTON/SUBMITTED

A community concept plan for the vacant Bayview lot shows room for a park or sportsfield as well as a mix of low and medium density.

Brookfield Road is sitting idle. Last year, a Montreal developer proposed building student-tenant apartment buildings. That plan pitched ground-floor retail and commercial space.

“To me, this site is no different,” Brown said. “This is valuable development land.

We could do a very good mixed-use, integrated, intensified development here.”

However, a community design plan for Riverside Park is not on the city’s radar because it is “primarily a mature and stable neighhourhood that is not expected to experience significant growth,” Dana Collings, the city’s program manager of community planning and urban design, said in an email.

“Policies are in place, including a secondary plan, to help guide development in the area.”

Brockington echoed this, saying Riverside Park is not

overwhelmed with development issues.

“There is a secondary design plan for Riverside Park which is quite old, at least 20 years old. Staff are open to refreshing that,” he said.

Although it is not high on staff’s list of priorities, there is merit in redoing it, which would generate community interest, consultation and discussion on potential uses, said Brockington.

six storeys would be “completely out of character and completely out of line with the current residential community that has been established there for decades” said Brockington, who consulted with 3,000 households.

“The city could maximize future tax revenues by building big, but that is not acceptable.”

With so many parks nearby, Brown is also ques-

tioning the need for a park earmarked for the southwest corner of the site.

“I frankly don’t think we need another soccer field on this site,” Brown said, who lives nearby.

And, if residents can’t do without a park, then it should be relocated closer to two schools on the east side of the property, he said.

As well, several key components are also missing from the plan that would have helped the city sell the lot for a higher price tag and ensure it is developed to its full potential, said Brown, who would like to see more density in the middle of the lot, where building heights would be set back farther from nearby homes.

Cultivating a team in the workplace

I

’ve had the opportunity to work with many different sizes and types of businesses, across many different industries.

Sometimes, relations with clients go smoothly.

Other times, for reasons that are hard to pinpoint, I can’t seem to gel with a particular person on the team. That’s normal, right?

As my mom used to say, “you can’t please all the people all the time.”

Whether you’re a parent, a coach, a supervisor or a business owner, however, having friction on your team can have a big impact on outcome. What if you could cultivate a team that worked together well, if not all the time, then most of the time?

American author and business consultant Patrick Lencioni may have the answer. In his 2016 book, “The Ideal Team Player,”

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse

mum to get by, right? It’s not that the individual isn’t meeting expectations, but that he’s not demonstrating any sort of willingness to go above and beyond.

Team players, says Lencioni, have a fire in their bellies. They embrace the work they’re doing with a hunger to always do their best, to exceed expectations, where possible, making them more likely to work autonomously, to find innovative solutions to challenges that arise, and to inspire those around them.

The third characteristic, humble, is the one the anecdotal COO has the hardest time recognizing. But it’s important. The best team players – and the best leaders – are respectful of the people they’re working with and they’re willing to admit when they’ve made mistakes. Essentially, they leave their egos at the door.

Being humble, Lencioni explains, makes others on the team confident to speak up when there’s a problem,

They realize that team players share three essential virtues: Smart, hungry and humble.

Smart is a characteristic of emotional intelligence, regarding social interaction. It’s about how team players interact with those around them.

RELATING

Lencioni tells the anecdote of a construction firm with a newly-minted and very green chief operating officer, a history of workplace friction, and a need to rapidly hire 60 employees to resource two new public contracts.

The COO is shocked when the human resources manager says that, in order to increase staff by 60, the organization must recruit and hire at least 80 individuals. Concerned by the 30-per cent turnover

rate, the COO starts to examine why the company has failed to retain good people, especially those in hard-to-staff positions like foremen.

The executive team make a collective decision that, to avoid the high turnover rate, they need to identify and cultivate the essential qualities of good team players. They analyze existing and recentlydeparted employees, they analyze each other, they analyze themselves.

Do they understand how to relate to different people, in different situations? Do they know when to speak and when to be quiet? People who are aware of the importance of interpersonal reactions are more likely to be tuned into the needs of those around them and to respond accordingly.

Hungry is about passion for the work. Most people have had the experience of working on a team, only to discover there’s one person that does the bare mini-

to criticize and to find creative solutions. The team member that treats her colleagues the same way she would the CEO is the one that’s humble. The executive that treats his equals well, but his administrative assistant poorly lacks humility that contributes to team work. The team player that can’t recognize and own up to failure will have a very difficult time learning from mistakes and moving on.

It sounds overly simplistic, but time and again the anecdotal executive team comes to realize that two of the qualities are not enough to make a good employee. I’m not a big believer that these virtues are necessarily personality traits. Often, people’s worst qualities show up when they’re stressed, in the wrong job or simply don’t like their teammates.

But at least, as a business owner and as a parent, I have a hint of what essential virtues to cultivate in myself and in my team.

MacNair also addressed that green space, saying the location of the park is flexible, and any programming there will be developed with feedback from the community.

While Brown said the city could get a better financial deal for the property if it had rezoned the parcel before a sale, MacNair said that would have had the opposite effect.

“In terms of the impact on property value, in this case, prezoning the site could ultimately reduce the competitiveness of offers for the property,” he said.

“Zoning is very prescriptive, with a level of detail that specifies parking spots, building setbacks, and density based on number of units, which must all be validated through traffic, serviceability, geotech, environmental and a host of other supporting documentation and reports specific to the product being proposed,” MacNair said.

But Brown said prezoning the land prior to putting it on the market would have given some teeth to the concept plan.

“The community thinks they’re protected by a concept plan. I believe that’s naive,” he said, adding that without advance zoning,

New Bicycle Repair Station at Greenboro Community Centre If you stop by the Greenboro Community Centre, you’ll notice a brand new addition to the area. A new bike repair station has been installed beside the bicycle racks at the front of the centre, featuring a work stand and an air pump. The stand includes do-it-yourself tools such as screwdrivers, tire levers, wrenches, and a hex key set.

I encourage all residents to check out the new repair stand this summer and use this free service to tune-up your bike. Get cycling!

JENNIFER MCINTOSH/ METROLAND

For the win ‘Sir William’ competes in the jousting competition during the annual Osgoode Medieval Festival on July 10.

Economic growth is being forecast at 2.1% for 2017

COURTESY OF THE CITY OF OTTAWA

Statistics from the city’s department of economic development and innovation suggest that most visitors to the capital are coming from within Canada.

Ottawa’s economic development and innovation director says city’s future looks bright these days Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Ottawa’s director of economic development and innovation Saad Bashir says the city’s economic future is looking bright.

The city still boasts lower vacancy rates in office buildings than its Canadian counterparts, Bashir told the city’s finance and economic development committee on July 5.

Unemployment sits at 6.3 per cent, which is pretty much on par with the national average of 6.8 per cent.

Ottawa’s gross domestic product was $65 billion last

year, lagging only behind Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary.

But what we lack in cash, we make up for in quality of life, Bashir said, adding The City of Ottawa compares well with other G20 capitals.

Local economic growth dipped from 2009 until 2014, based mostly on the layoffs of government workers, Bashir said.

But the report presented to the committee shows an upswing in 2015 and 2016 that brings the city more in line with the provincial average.

The bulk of tourists, or 82 per cent, come from Canada.

International visitors only represent 13.1 per cent of the city’s tourism.

Overall the outlook is positive. The Conference Board of Canada forecasts 2.1 per cent growth for OttawaGatineau in 2017.

But Alta Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier said the city has to be careful to keep the momentum going, and not end up with a 2017 hangover, alluding to Canada’s 150th birthday celebrations that are expected to draw more visitors to the capital.

The key to success is momentum in the tourism sector and industry diversification, Bashir said.

Olympian’s visit offers gold medal moments at Ottawa Rotary Home Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Alexandre Bilodeau first drapes the gold medal he earned at the 2014 Sochi Winter Games across the chest of Nicholas Wright, then rests the gold medal he won at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics next to Wright’s pillow.

“Surrounded by gold.

Golden Nick,” said Bilodeau, who retired from freestyle skiing two years ago.

For Wright, who is an enthusiastic sports fan, meeting Bilodeau at the Ottawa Rotary Home’s Leitrim campus near Findlay Creek, proved to be a gold medal moment in more ways than one.

“Do you remember when Alex won his medal? Do you remember who was cheering for him the most at the bottom of the hill?” Donna Thomson, Wright’s mom, asked her son, who has ce-

rebral palsy, a neurological disorder that impairs motor function.

Turning to Bilodeau, she smiled, “He was so excited.”

The Westboro resident was referring to Bilodeau’s older brother, Frédéric, who celebrated Bilodeau’s victory in the men’s moguls event at the Vancouver Olympics, a moment that was broadcast live on TV and one that touched the hearts of fans across Canada. Frédéric has cerebral palsy.

Bilodeau’s admiration for the Ottawa Rotary Home grew as he toured the Ottawa Rotary Home, which provides short-term residential and respite care – a home away from home – for children, teens and adults with physical disabilities affecting mobility, as well as complex medical needs.

His tour was a reminder of what his home province does not have, but desperately needs.

“It’s hard to see that (the modern centre) and we don’t have that access anywhere in the province of Quebec,” he said, adding that while there are schools for the disabled, once students turn 18, there are few provincial government-funded programs available.

And families are caught in the middle.

Bilodeau’s brother Frédéric lives with their parents in Montreal, and it was only recently they took a short vacation alone for the first time. Bilodeau cared for his brother while they were away.

“There is a big black hole,” Bilodeau said of the need for respite care.

But even in this part of Ontario, the Rotary Home provides a very unique service for families. It is the only centre of its kind in eastern Ontario, particularly for young adults.

Home away from home offers respite

City Councillor/Conseiller Municipal

Alexandre Bilodeau, right, River Ward/Quartier Rivière an Olympic Summer Spikes with Property Crimes gold medalist from Montre- Please take necessary precautions to secure your al, and Nicho- house, vehicle and other possessions, as reports of las Wright increased property crime have been reported in River bond over Ward. Consider locking bicycles, even when stored in their shared your garage and ensure windows, patio doors and your love of sports front door are locked when you go to bed. Summer at the Ottawa time provides too many easy opportunities for thieves.

Rotary Home’s Leitrim cam- Police to Focus on Cyclists and Red Light Runners pus on July 7.

During the month of July, the Ottawa Police Service

Continued from page 17

Even in Ontario, a 21st birthday means the provincial government no longer fully absorbs respite care program costs for those with physical challenges and mobility limitations.

“There is virtually nothing,” said Chloe Hillier, director of development with the Ottawa Rotary Home Foundation.

And the demand is great. There are 300 families registered with the home, but Hillier suspects the need is greater and more families are likely unaware of the services the home provides. Many may also not know that the money they are granted from the province each year – which they can use to pay for specialized programs – can be used to access day programming and overnight respite care at the Rotary Home.

The home’s adult wing is only partially used, though the Leitrim campus only dates back to 2009.

“We definitely have the demand from families, but we just don’t have the funding,” Hillier said. As a result, the Rotary Home Foundation holds fundraisers throughout the year.

Wright’s situation is unique and the 27-year-old has called the Rotary Home his home since 2011.

“We were just fortunate that the Rotary Home could meet his needs with respect to his medical complexities, his nursing needs,” said Wright’s mom, Thomson. “There was nowhere else in the city for him to go outside his (family) home.”

Wright was born with a brain injury. He suffers from sleep apnea and seizures, as well as chronic pain, and a Rotary Home nurse stays awake by his bedside every night to care for him.

“They do an amazing job,” said Thomson, who chronicled her family’s experiences and her own disability advocacy work in a book titled, The Four Walls of My Freedom - Lessons I’ve Learned from a Life of Caregiving, which was published in 2010.

Wright’s room in the adult wing of the not-for-profit Rotary Home is decorated with autographed posters of WWE wrestlers, like Jake “The Snake” Roberts and Bret “The Hitman” Hart. Hockey memorabilia, including Ottawa Senators posters, cover the walls.

“Can you believe how wonderful this place is?” Thomson told Bilodeau, who is just a year older than Wright. “This is an extension of our home.”

will focus their attention on cycling safety and red light running. Between 2010-2014, there were 1,541 reported collisions involving cyclists with 1,290 injuries and 16 fatalities. During the same time period, there were 3,186 reported collisions due to red light running, resulting in 1,478 injuries and two deaths.

Sustaining the local Butterfly and Bee Population The decline of the monarch butterfly population has been noted by scientists. Female monarch butterflies lay their eggs solely on milkweed and monarch caterpillars feed exclusively on it. The monarch butterfly is otherwise known as the “milkweed butterfly.” Milkweed provides the nourishment required for the change from caterpillar to butterfly.

It is disappearing due to the loss of habitat stemming from land development and the wide spread use of weed killer. Local residents can help by planting milkweed. It’s easy to plant and there are many varieties that can thrive in full sun, dry or humid conditions. A hearty perennial, milkweed can withstand harsh conditions to come back year after year.

Bee populations require three simple items from nature to sustain their population: Nectar, which contains sugar, is their source of energy and pollen provides proteins and fats. Like every living creature, bees require water. To make a simple bee bath, place a saucer or plate at ground level surrounded by rocks.

The rocks will serve as landing pads for the bees.

Replenish the water frequently. Bees have good color vision and are especially attracted to the colors of blue, purple, violet, white and yellow. Residents can help to sustain bee populations by planting a variety of flowers and plants that bloom at alternate times of the year. Early season ideas include foxglove, crocus and heather. Mid season examples include chives, dahlia, sunflower, yarrow, mint or lavender and finally late season examples are aster, cornflower, goldenrod, pumpkin or squash.

Summer Fun at Local Wading Pools All wading pools in the City will celebrate themed events on Fridays during the summer months. The themes are as follows: July 15, (birthdays), July 22 (super heroes), July 29 (teddy bears), August 12 (wet and wild) and August 19 (dance party). As well, each wading pool will have their own special festival day. In River Ward, Pauline Vanier Park will host their special festival day on July 29.

Ottawa in Colour draws upon local artists Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

How colourful is Ottawa? It’s all in the eye of the beholder. Or in this case, the holder of the crayons.

Ottawa artists have compiled drawings of city scenes and monuments to create the Ottawa in Colour colouring book.

In total, 22 artists created 32 pictures that depict familiar scenes for many Ottawa residents, from the view of the Rideau Canal to a couple strolling past Dunn’s on Elgin Street.

Nepean’s Jason Cobill said he was discussing how to raise money for local arts while standing in a book store’s colouring book section.

“There was an explosion in my head,” said Cobill, who quickly started to contact friends to see who would be interested in contributing a drawing. He bounced the idea off University of Ottawa co-worker Maxime Gauthier-Kwan, an east Ottawa resident who grew up in Orléans.

“We actually work side-by-side,” Gauthier-Kwan said. “And we always throw these crazy ideas at each other.”

Two months later, the book full of different Ottawa images was heading to press after Cobill and Gauthier-Kwan quickly put the book together. The project received a $1,000 grant from Awesome Ottawa to include more artists in the book – every artist who participated was paid for their art.

The book was formally launched on June 25 and more than 700 copies have been sold.

They’ve officially broken even on the sales, and proceeds from the $20 book will be donated to various arts organizations in the city, Cobill said.

People have reacted well to the innovative book, usually recognizing a scene from their own day-to-day life.

“So many people are really intrigued to see their own neighbourhood represented,” Cobill said.

Photographer Vincent Kember decided to amp up a scene he’s seen many times – the Place d’Orléans shopping centre where bus routes connect.

“I had almost 20 years of seeing it every day,” he said. “I had to make it look more interesting. If I drew it the way you see it, it would be more spread out.”

He superimposed different parts of the shopping centre into one image and took out things that would block the distinct roof to create the drawing.

Artist Dan Asencio, from Westboro, drew a scene from the nearby Hintonburg that also depicts a Bridgehead.

His drawing is distinctly different

from Cobill and Kember’s, as the former New York City resident applied a more comic and psychedelic look to his work.

It’s interesting for artists to have someone else come in and finish a piece of art, Asencio said. He said he’s hard on himself, as most artists are, and having someone come in and want to add colour to the art he started is motivating.

“I was over the moon when I saw someone had (coloured in) one of my drawings,” Cobill said.

Cobill said the response has been so strong, they are considering a second edition of the book.

Ottawa in Colour is available at all Chapters, Cole’s and Indigo bookstores in Ottawa as well as online at www.ottawaincolour.com.

Annual BBQ for 22 Please join me for my second annual community barbecue on July 23rd at Cresthaven Park from 11 am to 2 pm. I invite you and your family to come out and enjoy some hamburgers, hot dogs, face painting, balloon art, Little Ray’s Reptiles show, bouncy castles, an old fashioned fire truck and more. We have also invited various City departments to join in the fun and showcase what they have to offer. I hope to see you there.

BRIER DODGE/METROLAND

Latest fad in lawn care fascinates the family

M

other stood at the kitchen door looking out onto the

yard.

She refused to call it a lawn. A lawn had nicely mowed grass.

This lawn had tufts of grass growing every which way, because the only means of cutting it was with the scythe, and that only happened when Father had a lull in the everyday chores around the farm. Which wasn’t very often.

Everett was given the job until he cut off the toe of his gum rubbers one day, missing his foot by a mere inch, and that was the end of that.

It would take every last cent out of her egg money in the sugar bowl, but Mother was determined she was going to buy one of those new lawn mowers she saw in Scott’s Hardware

MARY COOK Memories ad in the Renfrew Mercury.

Three dollars was a princely sum, and it would take a long time to build it up again, but it would be worth it.

Mother dumped out the sugar bowl on the kitchen table, and had a few coppers over the three dollars needed to buy the lawn mower. I was so excited, especially since Mother said I could go into Renfrew with her to get it.

We would be taking the old Model T instead of

the horse and buggy, and Mother said as soon as she got home with it, Everett would be put to work. The ad showed a picture of it too, and it vowed it was the latest thing in lawn care.

So off we went, against Father’s wishes, of course, as he could see nothing wrong with the way the grass had been cut on the farm for more than 100 years!

When we got to the hardware store, there it was in the window. I had never seen anything like it. It had

two small wheels and what looked like a cage holding twisted blades inside.

Mr. Scott explained that when the thing was pushed through the grass, the blades, (“sharp as a razor,” he said) cut the grass as neat as you please. He loaded it into the back seat of the Model T after Mother handed over the money, and we didn’t even stop to do any Saturday shopping, but tore out of town to get home as fast as we could to get Everett started on giving the grass in the yard its first proper cut in its history!

Father was nowhere to be seen when we pulled into the yard, but my three brothers and sister were all lined up like soldiers waiting to see this new fangled contraption that was going to change our yard into something to brag about.

Everett, being the oldest, was given the privilege of

being the first to use the new lawn mower. It was hard slugging, since the yard looked like a hayfield, but Everett was told it was important to cut in straight lines, and so tried his best to do as he was told.

He managed to cut a swath right down the middle from the pump to the back stoop. Emerson was getting red in the face from yelling it was his turn, and grabbed the handle of the mower, pushing Everett out of his way. It looked like Everett wasn’t unhappy to give up the job, with the sweat pouring off his face.

Mother stood at the back step yelling orders, and when it was Earl’s turn, the whole back yard sure didn’t look like it did when the grass was cut with the scythe! I was pretty sure I could see Father’s face in the window of the cow byre.

Finally, the whole yard

was done. It was less than perfect, with tufts of grass still standing where the lawn mower had missed. The new lawn mower was rolled into the drive shed, and Mother had made lemonade, and we all sat at the back stoop looking over the newly mowed lawn.

Father emerged from the barn, came over and slumped down on the step beside us. He lit his pipe, letting his eyes roam from one end of the yard to the next.

He wasn’t about to admit it looked any better. “Look’s like a bad hair cut to me,” he said, between puffs on his pipe.

Mooney’s Bay Park will soon be transformed into a sea of beach volleyball players for the 34th annual HOPE Volleyball SummerFest.

But in and amongst the 10,000 athletes who will converge on the beach on July 16 will be several hundred volunteers who will once again prove instrumental in ensuring the HOPE organizing team bumps, sets and spikes their way to success in support of local charities.

This year’s event sold out with 1,032 registered teams taking part in corporate, recreational and competitive divisions.

While the largest category is recreational, the competitive division sells out first every year.

“We have people even calling around (HOPE) Winter-

Mooney’s Bay Park will soon be transformed into a series of beach volleyball courts for the annual HOPE Volleyball SummerFest on July 16.

Fest in March saying, ‘Can I sign up a team now for July?’” said Holly Tarrison, executive director of HOPE, an annual day long volleyball festival.

HOPE stands for Helping Other People Everywhere.

“I love people who plan

ahead,” Tarrison said with a chuckle.

Team registration fees are key to allowing HOPE to support several different Ottawa-based charities every year.

Helping Dogs in Hot Cars As the weather warms, the number of calls the Ottawa Humane Society receives about dogs in hot cars soars.

What should you do if you spot a dog locked in a hot car? Just remember T.A.N. There are three steps: 1. Take information. Note the make and model of the car, the license number, exact location, and a description of the dog: breed, colour, size. etc.

Remember that windows cracked open do not significantly reduce the internal temperature of a car.

2. Assess the situation. How long have you been present while the dog has been in the car? Is the dog in distress? Signs of heat distress include excessive panting with the tongue fully extended, stumbling, glazed eyes, disorientation, hiding in the footwell, and ultimately, coma and death.

And of course, don’t be a part of the problem. Don’t leave your pet in a hot car.

HOPE more than just volleyball Continued from page 30

This time around, HOPE will provide important dollars to Do It For Daron, the Ottawa Food Bank, the Ottawa Humane Society, Christie Lake Kids, the Bruyère Foundation and Breast Cancer Action Ottawa.

Each beneficiary chosen is required to supply at least 50 volunteers the day of the festival to help with a bevvy of different jobs, ranging from parking and security to site set-up and tear-down.

“And we recruit between 800 and 1,100 on top of that for the day,” said Tarrison.

More volunteers are still needed in such jobs as security, greeting people, scorekeeping, food distribution and at the information and registration booth, water station and the beer garden.

“Ideally, we’d love it if people signed up for a whole day shift,” said Tarrison.

“And depending on where you are, you can still hear or see the concert … and we feed people too.

“All of the positions,

you’re never isolated somewhere (in the park); you’re still part of the action and giving back at the same time.”

High school students are also encouraged to lend a hand to meet their volunteer requirements.

HOPE is about more than a day of volleyball matches, and the joy people have in helping others and having fun is always readily apparent.

When navigating the grounds of the park during the SummerFest, Tarrison is always struck by how happy participants and volunteers are. “Ridiculously big smiles” greet her.

“As an organizer, that’s what you want to see,” she said.

Some volunteers have been coming to help out for years. Even some charity organizations that HOPE has supported in the past continue to contribute helping hands during the volleyball festival.

“The Lung Association, they still gather a group to

come the day of even if they aren’t receiving money from us,” said Tarrison. “It’s a good way to recruit volunteers for other events too, but it’s team-building.

“A lot of people use our event as a team-builder because it’s the perfect opportunity,” she said. “It’s one day – there’s really no excuse.

And it’s fun.”

Spectators who come to the park to watch and cheer on the volleyball action can join the players in enjoying live music that will be performed on the main stage starting at 11:15 a.m., and continuing throughout the day.

Local acts will include the Bristol Hum, Hearts & Mines and Ty Hall & Co., as well as headliners the Elwins, Dear Rouge and Hey Rosetta.

Admission for non-players is $15 in advance online or $20 at the gate the day of the HOPE. For a complete schedule, go to hopehelps.com, and to volunteer, go to hopehelps. com/volunteers.

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, even if feel like you’re running yourself ragged, all of your hard work will pay off in due time. Just be sure to avoid falling victim to exhaustion; scale back if necessary.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, bide your time until you find the right moment to express your true feelings. You don’t want to come across as premature, and patience can help you fine-tune your thoughts.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 It seems like you cannot move beyond the preparation stage of a new project, Gemini. Make an effort to narrow down your choices so things can start moving forward.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, overcome any lingering doubt by examining your thought process on past successes. Trust your gut instincts, and you probably will not go wrong this week.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, speak up if demands on your time have become unmanageable. Your loved ones will understand if you need to slow things down and take a breather.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, evaluate all of your choices when a significant project is entrusted to you. There’s a reason you have been given this responsibility, so don’t be too hasty.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you may need to be more efficient with daily tasks. Dilly-dallying won’t get the job done, so make a concerted effort to improve your focus and avoid distraction.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, now is not the time to worry about what others think. Your willingness to choose the road less traveled has helped you get where you are and will continue to do so in the future.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, maintain your focus no matter how challenging that proves this week. You have some tasks to complete, and they will only grow more difficult if you lack focus.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you do not have the time to cater to every person’s whim this week. Let others know you want to help but need some time before you can offer any assistance.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, take a few days off, even if responsibilities are calling.

Sometimes you need to reorganize your priorities, and some time off can help you do just that.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, the week ahead is full of opportunity. Expect some extra work to come your way and make the most of this chance to shine.

Arrest made in connection with armed robbery of taxi driver in Fairlea Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

One of two suspects has been arrested in connection with an armed robbery last month of a cabbie in the Fairlea community.

A teenager was taken into cus-

tody without incident on July 6.

But police are still trying to identify and track down a second suspect, who investigators say pulled a gun on the taxi driver last month.

“There were tips from the public stemming from the initial media release (issued June 24) that certainly

assisted the investigation,” said Staff Sgt. Michael Haarbosch, who heads up the police robbery unit.

According to investigators, the crime unfolded on June 19 when a cabbie was dispatched to pick up passengers at the South Keys Transitway around 1:30 a.m. He picked

up two males, who requested they be dropped off at 2920 Fairlea Cr. The Fairlea neighbourhood is located to the east of the Heatherington community.

Upon arrival, a passenger sitting in the backseat pulled out a handgun and pointed it at the driver and demanded cash, police said.

The driver didn’t have any cash and the suspects left empty-handed. The cabbie was not injured.

A 19-year-old from Ottawa is facing several charges, including robbery, conspiracy, assault with a weapon, fraudulently obtaining transportation, possession of a weapon and use of a firearm in the commission of an offence.

Haarbosch declined to disclose the details that led to the arrest.

In addition to announcing that an arrest had been made, police also released a new image of the

wanted suspect that was taken from surveillance footage at the South Keys Transitway, where the pair had first been picked up in the cab.

“The additional photo … is a little further away, so the facial details aren’t as good as the image in the taxi, but the images of the clothing are in colour and a little better,” said Haarbosch.

“Hopefully, between the two (images) and now with the information that he’s likely associated to the person that we’ve charged, that somebody can then put a name to the face.”

The arrested suspect was scheduled to appear in court July 7.

If you can help police solve this case, call the robbery unit at 613236-1222, ext. 5116, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Go to ottawacommunitynews.com to view new photo of suspect.
