$6.9M House of Sport hub coming to the RA Centre Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The RA Centre is charting new territory as it prepares to make room for a community sports hub, considered the first of its kind in Canada.

House of Sport, as the 3,345-square-metre hub will be known, will allow 15 to 20 not-for-profit sports and athletics organizations to base their national offices within the renovated mid-1950s-era west wing of the Recreation Association of the Public Service of Canada.

“It’s a game-changer for us,” said Tosha Rhodenizer, chief executive of the 22,000-member-

strong athletic centre located at 2451 Riverside Dr. in the Billings Bridge community. “What’s great about a project like this ... is supporting amateur sport. It’s something that is attractive for sponsors and different entities.”

Renovations will begin in late October and the goal is to have the space ready by next June and see tenants move in by July 1.

The $6.9-million project will see the wing, which currently includes an aging gymnasium and bowling alley, converted into a modern, open-concept office space.

Racing to Rio Canadian Olympic 4x100-metre relay sprinter Farah Jacques, left, of Gatineau, prepares to take the baton from Guelph’s Marissa Kurtimah on the track at the Terry Fox Athletic Facility in Mooney’s Bay on July 18. Both the men’s and women’s 4x100-metre relay teams trained at the track on July 18 and 19 before travelling to compete in the London Anniversary Games, July 22 to 24. They will then go to the Summer Olympic Games being held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in August. For the story and additional photos, go to page 6.

“This completely rejuvenates it and breathes several decades of life into this building moving forward.

It really opens and modernizes this whole wing,” Rhodenizer said.

Already, 72 per cent of the avail-

able space has been earmarked for interested organizations.

“We fully anticipate that we’re going to have more demand than we have supply of space,” said Rhodenizer.

There are 46 such groups in Ottawa. Up until the late 1980s, the James

Naismith Building on Blair Road served as the main headquarters building for many sports and athletics groups, she said, but added that with the sale of the building, they moved out, she said.

About 40 per cent left Ottawa entirely.

“Since the early ‘90s there’s been a desire of many (national sports organizations) to recreate what once was,” said Rhodenizer.

Those that stayed generate approximately a $76-million annual windfall through employee spending, sports competitions and other events, such as national conferences.

“I think a lot of entities are interested in retaining that talent and those entities in the (National Capital Region),” Rhodenizer said. “The hope is that through an initiative such as House of Sport, not only will we return those organizations in the city but we might also start attracting some of them back.”

associated with athletic groups and strengthening the RA Centre’s name in sporting circles. It could even lead to offering additional sports at the centre, Rhodenizer said. The House of Sport will replace the aging gymnasium in the wing, but a new non-permanent gym will be built in front of the west entrance.

The majority of the 37-by21-metre steel-frame-fabricated and insulated structure, which will feature a new state-of-the-art floor, is now being constructed offsite. It will be in place by the end of October before renovations at the west wing begin to ensure that programs won’t be interrupted.

It will have a lifespan of 15 to 20 years and serve as the new home for several current leagues, fitness classes and children’s summer camps.

See RENOS, page 3

Renos first step of larger expansion

Continued from page 2

The renovations will bring an end to the centre’s 10-lane bowling alley, but the Walkley Bowling Centre has room for all of the centre’s bowling leagues, said Rhodenizer.

“Bowling has been part of the RA since the beginning, so those are not easy decisions to make,” she said. “Bowling as a sport has been in decline for decades, not just at the RA but in the industry.”

The new House of Sport, which will become the sixth in the world, is actually part of a larger vision and expansion plan.

“A significant” new build for the site, measuring 7,400 to 9,300 square metres, is now in the early planning stages.

The modern, state-of-the-art facility will provide a new home for some of the current programs and services offered at the RA Centre.

That would then free up space in the existing building for a second-phase House of Sport to allow more national sports organizations to move in and operate under the same roof.

“This one was an easy one for us in many ways.”

Off-duty firefighter comes to the rescue at rowhome fire Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

An off-duty Ottawa firefighter is being credited for helping evacuate families from a burning home and neighbouring units in the Confederation Court community of southeast Ottawa.

Mike Kaine, a 17-year firefighter based at the Riverside South station, was driving southbound on Russell Road around noon on July 14 when he knew something was wrong.

“I could see smoke and then I could smell it,” the Orléans resident told Metroland Media.

“Firefighters have this really distinctive sense of smell,” said Capt. Danielle Cardinal,

Ottawa fire spokeswoman.

“He said it smelled off.

“I think because firefighters are around it so much they become nose Jedis.”

Kaine pulled over on Russell Road and tracked the smoke to the middle unit of a rowhouse at 2505 Walkley Rd., near Russell Road. Confederation Court is an Ottawa Community Housing property.

“As I went around, (the smoke) got a little darker, and I could tell that it was in a structure. It wasn’t just a barbecue,” Kaine said. “I could really smell it and that’s when I called 911.”

As he approached the unit, Kaine could see flames inside. He opened the unlocked back door, calling out to see

if someone was home and in need of help.

“I heard somebody call back or scream and I went in a little further,” he recalled.

“The occupants were at the front door and I told them to go out that way and not come back in.”

The family confirmed that no one else was inside. Kaine then went to the adjoining units to bang on doors and call for people to get out.

“Some people answered and came out,” he said.

Kaine spoke to a woman who said the affected family had taken shelter in her nearby home. He advised her to keep them there.

Fire dispatchers had already been fielding a number of 911 calls reporting the

kitchen fire around 12:11 p.m.

Once on scene, firefighters attacked the flames that had spread to cupboards and the flooring, while others searched the premises and attached units to make sure everyone had evacuated.

Kaine stayed long enough to help the first crew hook up a hose to a hydrant.

UNUSUAL MILESTONE

The incident was an unusual milestone in his firefighting career.

“You’re used to showing up with your crew and gear and everything, and all of a sudden you’re on the other side,” said Kaine. “In 17 years it’s the first time really I’ve had the chance to stop and do something like that. I was in the right place at the right time. I was lucky.”

The grease fire was extinguished by 12:22 p.m., but not before the home suffered

Pedestrian bridge honours Max Keeping

VALID FROM THURS

At a special ceremony before the Champions baseball game on July 16, the Coventry pedestrian and cycling bridge over Highway 417 was renamed to honour community leader Max Keeping.

And the significance of the renaming couldn’t mean more for members of Keeping’s family.

“I knew that they were wanting to name a street after him for some time. To name this bridge was something all that more special,” said Keeping’s son Josh Frye.

Keeping was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2003; he died in October 2015.

He raised more than $100 million for organizations, including CHEO, Roger’s House, the United Way, the Boys and Girls Club, Operation Come Home and the Cancer Foundation.

With CHEO on one side of the bridge – albeit distant – and the Champions stadium on the other, it connects two of Keeping’s great loves.

“Max was a bridge builder, he brought people together and he was an individual who raised tens of millions of dollars for local charities,” Mayor Jim Watson said of Keeping.

“He loved CHEO, which is on the other side of the highway, he loved baseball and that bridge brings those two great institutions together.”

The bridge connects the Overbrook community, Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton Park, the Via Rail station and

Politicians, representatives from the Champions and CHEO, and members of Max Keeping’s family unveil a commemorative plaque remembering community leader Max Keeping before the start of the Champions baseball game on July 16. The Coventry pedestrian and cycling bridge over Highway 417 was renamed the Max Keeping Bridge to honour his community work. the future Tremblay Station of the OTrain Confederation Line.

“That will be one of the most used bridges when the LRT is completed,” Watson said.

Signs will be installed at the entrances of the bridge, as well as on the highway, so drivers will know the significance as well.

A commemorative plaque, as well as what the bridge signs will look like, were unveiled just prior to Frye throwing the first pitch to begin the team’s game against the Rockland Boulders.

“We wanted to have it not just at an event at the side of the bridge, we wanted to have it during a baseball game so that more people can celebrate Max’s life,” Watson said.

The significance was not lost on Frye.

“Of course it means a lot, but it’s that much more special because I remember my dad and I coming and watching the Ottawa Lynx and all I wanted to do was eat hotdogs and throw baseball pitches,” he said with a smile.

Frye said his dad would have been the first to decline the honour of having something in the city named after him.

“But he’d be very humbled and honoured,” he said.

“He was very private when it came to talking about his family in public, but for his family to get this opportunity in the spotlight would probably make him laugh a little more and smile a little wider – that his legacy is being carried on through us.”

Good hearing but trouble with conversation?

A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out.

A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis.

Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells do not work properly then quiet sounds are no longer naturally

This improvement in hearing can be achieved for some clients through the new Phonak Audéo V’s hearing aids.

This cutting-edge hearing technology comes in a miniature casing that can significantly enhance the user’s ability to hear speech in company.

The hearing aids attune to the person you are speaking to and can also recognize if ambient noise increases in the background.

Hair cells in the ear move very rapidly and can act as an amplifier or dampener. If these cells are damaged, they can no longer properly amplify speech and dampen loud noises. amplified in the ear and loud sounds no longer dampened.

This leads to more difficulty in hearing what is said in a lot of situations. If the hair cells have been damaged by noise or blood circulation problems, hearing aids that amplify quiet speech and dampen loud ambient noise can be a good solution for most people.

Connect Hearing is currently looking to improve hearing for people who experience these challenges and want to try this new technology. We are particularly interested in candidates who have trouble hearing speech in the situations discussed above and can benefit from a trial to see whether they notice an improvement.

Interested people can register for a free hearing evaluation and a no-obligation trial of the Audéo V hearing aids by calling 1.888.408.7377.

Precision a key ingredient to Canada’s Olympic relay potential Erin McCracken

They’re going up against some incredible international talent. Jamaica, the U.S., China, Antigua are among the teams to beat, but Gilbert said Canada’s relay teams have the potential for a solid showing.

“They’ll have to run really well if they want to win a medal in Rio for sure,” he said. “There are other teams that are as good, but we have to be better.”

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Glenroy Gilbert trains his eagle eye on each Olympian as their powerful legs eat up the track at the Terry Fox Athletic Facility at Mooney’s Bay, watching closely as the baton is passed to the next sprinter.

With the countdown now on to the Summer Olympic Games in Rio, the Bells Corners resident and coach of the Canadian Olympic men’s and women’s power speed and relay teams is now only making small tweaks to his 4x100-metre sprint relay athletes’ performances.

“What we need is precision,” said Gilbert, who won gold in the same event at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. Rio will be his ninth Olympics — five as an athlete and four as coach.

“If you don’t have precision and you’re not getting it right here with nobody watching, you’re not going to get it right when there are 65,000 people staring at you and the pressure is through the roof,” he said

It’s a matter of being able to fall back on instinct and rely on fundamentals by focusing on making a clean exchange and setting targets.

“It’s just a matter of doing

it when it counts,” Gilbert said after watching the majority of his relay team practise on the track, including Orléans resident Oluwasegun Makinde and Gatineau’s Farah Jacques.

Following another brief session at the track planned for July 19, they planned to

fly out that same night to compete in the Müller Anniversary Games in London, England, July 22 to 24.

“That’ll be a good indicator in terms of where our guys are at because some of the best teams in the world will be there,” Gilbert said.

Ottawa South News - Thursday, July 21, 2016

Peter Eriksson, head coach and chief technical officer for Athletics Canada, and his team have been making a number of changes he hopes will garner results — strong finishes, if not medals.

“We’ve done a lot of improvements to the program,” said Eriksson, a Hunt Club Park resident. “Last time at the worlds we had eight medals. That is exceeding what the Canadian team ever had before,” he said, referring to the 2015 IAAF World Championships in Athletics in Beijing.

It’s Eriksson’s job to run Canada’s track-and-field program, including national team programs and oversee program delivery and the athletics coaches.

Canada’s Olympic and Paralympic track-and-field athletes are under his watch, which is why he was closely observing the Canadian talent on display at the Terry Fox Athletic Facility.

Like Gilbert, his resume is long and impressive.

The former competitive speed skater began a 30-year coaching career at the 1980 Olympics in Moscow with Team Sweden and went on to become a head coach of Olympic and Paralympic track-and-field athletes in the United Kingdom and Canada.

Next up is Rio. Eriksson will soon fly there and stay the next two months. “The goal is to do two or three medals, which would be 200-per-cent better than in 2012,” he said.

“If we can add some gold to that it might even be the best ever ... Olympics as well.”

City squeezes number of top manager positions jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

City hall will shed a dozen management positions in order to streamline processes within the city, a memo from city manager Steve Kanellakos says.

The memo was sent out on the evening of July 13, following a briefing to council on the new organizational structure.

As part of the briefing, council voted unanimously to axe the city’s two deputy city clerks and deputy city manager positions.

Susan Jones and John Moser were the acting deputy city managers, and will move to other positions. A diagram showing the new organizational structure names Jones as the new general manager of the emergency and protective services department. John

Moser is to stay on as an interim acting general manager of a consolidated planning, infrastructure and economic development department. The job of general manager for the department is listed as vacant.

The memo says the plan will cut “senior leader” positions to nine, down from 21.

The old system had five layers of management between managers of departments and the city manager. Now there will be the city’s manager’s office, led by Steve Box, and the city clerk’s and solicitor’s office led by Rick O’Connor.

The new departments will report to them directly.

At the briefing, Kanellakos said one of changes will be to align departments that better reflect city priorities.

Things like the rail implementation office, the Stage 2 LRT project office, transpor-

tation planning and traffic services will be under the umbrella of transportation services.

Current OC Transpo general manager John Manconi will lead that department.

Kevin Wylie, who currently serves as general manager of public works, will now be head of a department that consolidates public works with environmental services.

The community and social services department remains untouched. Janice Burrette will be the new head of that department.

The department of parks and recreation will also include cultural services under the leadership of Dan Chenier. The emergency and protective services branch, which will now include operations, will keep Anthony DiMonte as an acting general manager.

The corporate services de-

partment, which includes finance, fleet services, information technology and the real estate, partnership and development office, will be led

by Marian Simulik, the city’s treasurer.

A branch called the service, innovation and performance department will include corporate communications, human resources, corporate planning and business services and Service Ottawa. Donna Gray, who currently works in the transition office will be general manager.

At the briefing, Kanellakos said the alignment would save the city $2.7 million over the next two years. The city will have to pay out $1.29 million in severance.

The changes won’t affect the services the public sees, Mayor Jim Watson said of the city hall reorganization.

Description of Property

The award-

The former Overbrook Public School, 149 King George Street, is a two-storey rectangular building clad in red brick and constructed in three phases in 1916, 1947 and 1955. The building is located on the corner of King George and Quill Streets in the Overbrook neighbourhood.

winning garlic at Silver Spring Farm will be ready soon.

Heritage Value The former Overbrook Public School has design value as a simple example of the Collegiate Gothic style, popular for school construction across North America from 1900-1930. A late variation of the Gothic Revival style, the Collegiate Gothic style was inspired by the British universities of Oxford and Cambridge. Features of the building typical of the style include the use of red brick and limestone, symmetrical façades with evenly spaced windows and the decorative stone details. The building also has physical value because it was designed in anticipation of later additions; it was an asymmetric two room school, which remained until 1947, when a large L-shaped addition was built to accommodate the first children of the baby boom.

Overbrook Public School has historic value for its association with the development of public schools in former Gloucester Township in the early 20th century. Constructed beginning in 1916, Overbrook Public School is one of the earliest remaining buildings in Overbrook. The building has associative value as an example of the work of two Ottawa architectural firms. Millson and Burgess, responsible for the design of the original building in 1916, was a prolific architectural firm in Ottawa in the early 20th century, designing a variety of buildings including churches, libraries and private residences in Ottawa and the surrounding area. Architect Walter Sylvester designed the 1947 addition to the building. Sylvester was a long time Overbrook resident and trained under celebrated Ottawa architect W.E. Noffke in the early 20th century. In the 1940s, Sylvester designed additions to several schools in former Gloucester Township.

Prominently located on a corner, Overbrook Public School has contextual value as a local landmark which has served as a community hub and serves as a reminder of the community’s early development.

Cuts show how bloated city management is

A

new city manager is in charge over at city hall, and now there is a major restructuring going on.

The first major move of that restructuring was rubber stamped last week when council voted unanimously to axe the city’s two deputy city clerks and deputy city manager positions after a briefing by city manager Steve Kanellakos.

While Kanellakos says more is to come to find efficiencies in the city’s operations, for now what the restructuring means is that a dozen management positions are being shed in order to streamline operations.

The plan, as outlined by Kanellakos, will cut “senior leader� positions down to nine, from 21.

That the city administration now believes it can hack away at “senior leader� positions so that the number drops to nine from 21 begs the question, how did the number of senior positions balloon up to 21 in the first place?

Who was watching and keeping the city’s administration from getting so bloated?

At the briefing at city hall, Kanellakos said the changes would save the city $2.7 million over the next two years. The city will have to pay out $1.29 million in severance.

Kanellakos said he talked to 2,600 of the city’s 17,000-person workforce in the two months leading up to unveiling his plan, which has the full backing of Mayor Jim Watson.

According to Kanellakos, this is the first step and he will be working with the new senior leadership team who will be responsible for the next steps to come. “This includes a review of other levels of the organization to find opportunities to consolidate and streamline,� his memo to council reads.

That sounds good, but what the real impact will be going forward is still in doubt. Most of the people being shifted out of these senior positions appear to already have other jobs at city hall to fall back on.

And, of course, all residents of Ottawa should keep a close watch on city hall to make sure that as time goes by, the administration doesn’t start to fatten up yet again.

Open arms and open hearts flourish in Canada

O

n July 6, Muslims around the world celebrated Eid al-Fitr, the end of the Ramadan fast. I was invited to meet one of Canada’s newest families at their upper level duplex near downtown Ottawa.

As I walked slowly across the street, I could hear the sound of laughter echoing from the open window. I double-checked the address, uncertain that the family of four could be responsible for these festive sounds.

I knocked on the door. Jana* answered, a smile beaming across her face. “Eid Mubarek,� I said. “Eid Mubarek!� she responded.

She invited me into the small living room, where her two young daughters, age six and four, were laughing and playing in their summer dresses.

Last autumn, the news image of a dead Syrian toddler face down on a beach in Syria was a call to action for many Canadians. It propelled Canada’s previously low-profile Private Sponsorship of Refugees

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse Program into the spotlight, as Canadians raised money, formed groups of five and partnered with government-approved sponsoring organizations in their attempt to do something in the face of the Syrian migrant crisis.

In October, the Liberals made good on an election process to fast-track the applications for 25,000 Syrian refugees from United Nations-approved lists across the Middle East. It is the largest resettlement effort since Canada received 69,000 Vietnamese “boat people� between 1975 and 1980.

When the government abruptly halted Syrian refugee sponsorships in March, public outcry forced them to reduce the decision.

Another 10,000 Syrian refugees are

expected to arrive in Canada by the end of the year; some government assisted refugees, but many through private sponsorship.

Time will tell how easily the newcomers will integrate into Canadian society. Private sponsorship is a beacon concept, however. A government evaluation has shown that privately-sponsored refugees acquire language skills more quickly, enter the workforce sooner and have better health outcomes than government assisted refugees.

Observing Jana’s family and their interactions with four of their sponsors, it’s easy to see how having an on-the-ground Canadian team dedicated to help them navigate the future can boost their success. One of the sponsors comes late to our Eid gathering and thrusts a fistful of coins into each of the young girls’ hands. “Eid Mubarek,� she says. Another runs ahead, as we walk to the local playground, helping the girls cross the street.

In the initial few weeks, sponsors were on-hand daily to take

I tell her I’ve heard some Syrian families have complained that their sponsors are overbearing. I ask her if it’s too much. “It’s not too much,� says Jana. “We’ve asked for it. We want them here with us.�

Jana and I converse with ease as we walk with her husband, the children and four of their Canadian sponsors to the park. She tells me about the day they arrived in Ottawa, following a sleepless few hours in a Toronto airport hotel and a 14-hour plane journey from Beirut.

They were disoriented, unsure what their next steps would be – would they take a bus somewhere? Find shelter?

Her husband said he was nervous, but Jana says she was not nervous. “I told him not everyone is lost here like in Lebanon.�

A few minutes later they spotted their name, written in Arabic, on a sign. At the bottom of the escalator in arrivals, there 38 people – EDITORIAL MANAGING EDITOR: 5IFSFTB 'SJU[

Daven Braumberger is only eight years old, but is already considering a future career in construction.

Up until recently that was never on her radar, but is now on her ‘maybe’ list after she spent three days with five other kids building an Ontario-themed play structure at Mooney’s Bay Park, the first section of what will become the largest playground in the country by the end of August.

“I would love to,” Daven said of the possible career option. “It’s really fun.”

The Stittsville resident was cast with five other kids from Ontario, including one each from Barrhaven, Orléans and Riverside Park, for the first leg of the project.

“It’s really crazy that we built this because when I grow up I’ll be like, ‘I built this park.’ It’ll be a good memory for me,” Daven said following the structure’s re-

Daven’s mom, Monic Buettner, who joined other parents to serve as supervisors at the worksite, said the experience was empowering for the young builders, espe-

The first of the episodes will be televised beginning next spring. The playground will officially open on Canada Day, 2017.

Opponents to create non-profit ‘legacy,’ advocacy organization Continued from page 9

“I’m going to say I built a playground,” said Aidan, who helped construct the Ontario play structure.

The eight-year-old was excited to build it so close to home, since he lives in Riverside Park.

“See that swing over there?

I worked on a bit of that. And see that mural? I did a bit of that,” he said beaming with pride.

CONTROVERSY LINGERS

Given such a positive experience, Aidan’s mother, Jenny Brown, said the controversy surrounding the project was unnecessary.

“To me, it’s not like they’re putting a condominium in,” Brown said. “This is something kids are going to be able to enjoy for years and years and years. You can’t please everybody, but the kids are going to love it.”

Since the playground plans were first announced, there have been repeated calls that the project be halted. A peti-

ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND

Daven Braumberger, 8, of Stittsville, sits on a spinner she helped build for the Ontario section of a Canada-themed playground taking shape at Mooney’s Bay Park. The first structure was unveiled before ‘Giver’ television cameras on July 14. tion was recently submitted to the city.

Karin Howard, a Riverside Park resident and former city councillor, said no one in the Save Mooney’s Bay group is against the idea of a playground.

They have been sounding the alarm about soil contamination at the park where there is a former garbage dump, the site-selection process, that the community was not consulted and the lack of transparency and improper process

in the city’s funding of the project.

Safety was also never considered, given the proximity of the playground to the Rideau River where there is a strong undertow, said Howard.

The group, which is having soil samples tested, plans to continue advocating for soil clean-up and safety measures to keep kids away from the water.

“I’ve never seen such an egregious violation of process, not just consultation and informing the people,” Howard said. “Cutting down trees just like that? Hello, city?”

When asked if he has any regrets over not consulting with the public, Mayor Jim Watson said, “There was a lot of confusion about what had to be kept confidential and what didn’t and the reality is they (Sinking Ship) wanted to keep what the structures look like as a surprise.”

“You always learn lessons when you do something new,” Watson said.

Still, he said Mooney’s Bay is the “perfect location,” and touted the million-dollar investment from a private-sector company.

“It’s something we could never have been able to afford on our own.”

Recently, the city’s integrity commissioner’s report found

that Sinking Ship should have registered as a lobbyist with the city.

Watson said he wasn’t expecting that ruling.

“When I first heard about this being an infraction of the integrity bylaw, I didn’t think it was because we’re not giving this company something that they’re taking away and leaving town with,” he said.

“They’re helping us out.

“You don’t make money on a playground.”

The broken rules set a disturbing precedent for the future, critics charge.

“You don’t have to follow rules as natural justice to be fair and open and have proper process,” said Howard. “If you make a bad decision, you can break your own policies and there’s nothing people can do.”

The group is now in the process of establishing a nonprofit “legacy” corporation, the details of which will be announced in the coming weeks “to deal with this kind of breach of policy and fairness on a permanent basis,” said Howard.

Fire crews battle fire at Limebank Rd. business Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Fire crews faced heavy smoke at an industrial business in the city’s south end, but were able to bring a fire under control within an hour.

A flood of 911 calls began coming in at 10:34 a.m. on July 12, reporting yellow and black smoke at 3326 Limebank Rd. near River Road in the Cedardale community in south Ottawa.

A working fire was declared at a woodworking business at an industrial complex where other businesses are also located.

Firefighters who were first to arrive were met with heavy smoke at the front and back of the two-storey business complex, said Capt. Danielle Cardinal, Ottawa fire spokeswoman.

Employees had already been evacuated.

Crews engaged in an aggressive attack both inside the business and out.

Some also climbed on to the roof to fight the flames from

that vantage point.

“The fire appeared to be located in a room containing a number of chemicals used for painting and treating wood,” said Cardinal. “The fire was in a painting booth.

“Firefighters were advised to remain outside of that room and prevent fire spread to the areas surrounding the origin of the fire,” Cardinal said.

“The crews were to use extreme caution because of the possible hazardous materials burning and the dan-

gers associated with high heat and chemicals.”

Businesses located in the same complex were minimally impacted, she said.

Portable water tanks had to be set up to make about 38,000 litres of water available.

Fire trucks shuttled water to the site from the nearest hydrant located several hundred metres away.

The fire was brought under control in about an hour, and firefighters remained at the scene to check for spreading by using thermal imaging

cameras.

“Firefighters were able to salvage personal affects belonging to employees as well as business computers,” Cardinal added.

Traffic heading southbound on Limebank Road was detoured to River Road for several hours so that emergency responders could work unimpeded.

The road reopened between 1 p.m. and 1:30 p.m.

The cause of the fire and the dollar damage amount were not immediately available.

City property assessments below provincial average Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Ottawa is well below the provincial average for increases in residential property assessments, coming in at an average of 3.45 per cent.

That is well below the 18 per cent increase residents in the Greater Toronto Area are seeing.

Other cities in eastern Ontario, such as Brockville, Kingston, Cornwall and Pembroke will see a five per cent increase on average.

Wendy Stephanson, deputy city treasurer for the city’s revenue department, blamed the low assessment rates on

federal public servant layoffs and a sluggish condo market.

Taxes will go up for properties that have been assessed at an increased value of more than the city average of 3.45 per cent.

For those houses that sit below the average, taxes could go down.

But that is independent of any budgetary tax increase decided by council, Stephanson said.

“Those figures will be available in April or May,” she said.

The wards that are likely to see a break for the assessment period, which is 2017

(plus tax)

to 2020, are Somerset, which saw a change of minus 0.21 per cent, Gloucester-Southgate, with a change of only 0.65 per cent, and Gloucester South-Nepean which sits at a change of 2.93 per cent.

Stephanson said the factors that affect the assessed value are: • Location • Lot dimensions • Living area • Age of property • Quality of construction The mail outs on July 18 were only for residential properties. Assessments for farms will go out on Oct. 11 and everything else will be mailed out Oct. 18.

• Price includes supply of hardwood and installation for 180 sq.ft. in total • Removal and disposal of existing floor • Screw down of original subfloor • New quarter round supplied and installed • Shuffling of furniture and place back • A new BONA swiffer mop and floor cleaner

Former Herongate teen showcases ‘Superwoman’ vocals in Toronto Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Hand Sanae Paris a microphone and her shy and quiet demeanour changes and her inner “Superwoman” emerges.

Her stage presence and penchant for singing powerhouse songs by “soul singers” Adele, Christina Aguilera and the late Amy Winehouse make Sanae (pronounced Sanay) seem older than her 14 years.

“People tell me I have an old soul,” she said in a telephone interview from her home in Toronto.

She also enjoys singing pop music by Beyoncé and Nicki Minaj. Regardless of her song choice, Sanae said a different side of herself comes out when she takes the stage.

“It makes me feel like Superwoman,” she said. Sanae has a different vibe when she is not performing.

“Off stage, when I’m not performing, I feel a bit shy, like quiet sometimes,” she said.

The teen is now trying to make a name for herself in the entertainment scene in Toronto since she and her mother moved there last August from Nepean’s Centrepointe neighbourhood.

Before that she lived her first nine years in Heatherington, where she used to attend Alta Vista Public School.

“I moved here mostly for arts school,” said Sanae, who will attend Grade 9 at the Etobicoke School of the Arts in September.

She’s hoping that will allow her to hone her interest in song writing, and she already has a handful of songs in development.

Sanae credits her time in Ottawa for helping her gain valuable performing experience. Singing since she was just three years old, her resume includes performing at the Centrepointe Theatre, winning the 2014 JamDay Idol Talent Competition at Mooney’s Bay Park and participating in the Latin parade at city hall.

Her trademark high-ener-

gy performances can, in part, be attributed to enthusiastic crowds that turn out for her performances.

“If a crowd’s energy is really out there, it makes me feel more energized and want to do more different things in my performance,” Sanae said.

But when she is met with a subdued crowd, she sees that as a challenge to try and bring them out of their shell.

“I want to boost their energy,” she said.

She is also adding triplethreat talents to her resume.

She has taken acting lessons and also enjoys dance.

“Maybe one day I want to have my own show,” Sanae said of her dreams, which also include possibly becoming the next Beyonce.

Sanae next appears at Toronto’s Dundas Square at the Unity Charity Festival on July 23, the Youth Day Festival on July 24 and at the Honey Jam Festival on Aug. 11 and 18.

To find out more about Sanae, visit her website at artistecard.com/sanaeparis.

well as a glass ceiling over the interior lobby.

“That’s going to give us some energy efficiency,” Mills said, adding that the 36-year-old windows are past their prime.

That is scheduled to begin in August, and is expected to take about a month to complete.

Next up, starting in September, the front area, where the drivethrough is located, will be excavated for the replacement of a membrane over the underground parking garage, which has in the past required some patchwork repairs to address water leakage. That project has been on the books for about six years.

As well, thick glass block walls that wrap the north, south and east sides of the building at groundfloor level will be removed.

“That glass block has been a problem for us, I’m going to say, since Day One,” said Mills.

The $1.69-million project, which will include the removal of the drive-through area at the front of the building facing Elgin Street and the installation of a pedestrian-friendly “plaza,” will coincide with three additional upgrade projects.

It will be the first major change to the front facade since the building was built about 36 years ago.

“It’s not so much cosmetic, although we will have the opportunities to improve it in the process,” said Pamela Mills, director of police facilities. “This is about lifecycle work.”

The first project will be the replacement of the three-storey floor-to-ceiling windows that form a wall around the front doors, as

maintain proper heating and cooling in those areas.

The replacement walls will be solid, insulated and will feature transom windows at the top, allowing natural light into the functional space in behind.

“It’ll make it much more comfortable for occupants, and, of course, we are taking the esthetics into consideration on the building at the same time, so it’ll look good,” Mills said.

The most noticeable change to the facade will be the creation of a plaza.

The drive-through, a half-circle configuration that has served as a temporary parking area, often for police cars, will be removed. The flag poles stationed at the sidewalk will be relocated, planter boxes will be added and security bollards, or posts, will also be installed.

“There won’t be cars in there so it’ll be a better use of the space,” said Mills.

This conceptual artist’s rendering illustrates what the front of the Ottawa police headquarters building at 474 Elgin St. will look like following an upcoming facelift and rehabilitation work. The $1.69-million project will include a pedestrian-friendly plaza. Work is expected to be done in late December.

As well, the plaza area will provide more space for community and policing events, such as the annual police Diversity Celebration, a public showcase held in June with dancing and music.

“When you walk down the street or approach the building, it’ll look nicer than it does now,” Mills said

of the plaza. “It’ll be greener and it’ll be more user-friendly – no cars in front of it.”

The public will be able to access front-desk policing services over the course of the project.

A design rendering will be on display in the headquarters lobby for public viewing.

Canadian midwives to mentor in African nations, slash death rates Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Canada will export its midwifery expertise to four African nations struggling to reduce the death rates of women and their newborns as part of a new four-year project called Midwives Save Lives.

The initiative, which rolls out this year and will continue until 2020, will see Canadian midwives and other experts travel to the Bénin, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia and Tanzania where they will deliver equipment and mentor and train midwifery instructors to boost midwife numbers and improve access to healthcare for pregnant teens and women, as well as new mothers and their newborns.

“Skilled midwifery is so important because most mothers and babies, they are dying through childbirth,” Sebalda Leshabari, a midwife and director-general of the Tanzanian Association of Registered

ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND

Ambrocckha Kabeya Wa Nshimba, a midwife and president of the Midwifery Association of the Democratic Republic of Congo, looks through a birthing sling at the Ottawa Birth and Wellness Centre on July 14 during the launch of the Midwives Save Lives program.

Midwives, said during a panel talk involving representatives from all four nations during the Midwives Save Lives program launch on July 14 at the Ottawa Birth and Wellness

Centre at 2260 Walkley Rd. In 2015, an estimated 8,000 women died during childbirth in Tanzania alone.

“The midwives are in a critical and unique opportu-

nity to save the lives of these mothers because these deaths are preventable,” Leshabari said, by providing quality care during pregnancy and even as the child grows up.

“So midwives are giving broad and continuing care for the mothers and babies who make up the families of Tanzania,” she said.

For that reason, more midwives are needed.

The Midwives Save Lives project will receive $11.1 million in funding from the Canadian government, plus $640,000 from Cuso International, a development organization and registered charity that works to reduce poverty and inequality. Cuso will be raising its share through donations as well as contribute more than 50 volunteer experts.

Thirteen registered midwives will stay in Africa for one to three months, while about 40 professionals working in communications, public health, organizational development and gender and health-equity fields, will stay up to a year to help strengthen the midwifery associations in those countries.

Their work will also focus on the midwife regulatory and licensing process.

“We hope to have our volunteers in place in September or October,” said Aynsley Morris, director of marketing and communications at Cuso International’s Ottawa office in Chinatown.

There will be no shortage of work when they get there.

Last year, 303,000 women around the world died from pregnancy and childbirth

complications.

Four countries account for 50 per cent of those deaths, and the Congo is one of those, said Morris, who is also in charge of recruiting the project volunteers.

Last year, the number of related deaths in the Congo topped out at a staggering 22,000, and in Ethiopia that number reached 13,000. Bénin, a small country on the Gulf of Guinea sandwiched between Nigeria and Togo, experienced 1,300.

“...Most mothers and babies, they are dying through childbirth.”

SEBALDA LESHABARI, DIRECTOR-GENERAL, TANZANIAN MIDWIVES ASSOCIATION

“It’s still an issue,” Morris said of maternal and newborn mortality rates. “And we don’t have that in Canada where you don’t learn that your best friend has died in childbirth.

That’s rare here, but that can happen in so many of these countries.”

Globally, 16 million girls between the ages of 16 and 19 give birth each year. Another million are under age 15.

“Adolescent girls who live in fragile or conflict-affected states are subject to violence at the hands of others, often leaving them pregnant before they are fully grown themselves,” Ottawa West-Nepean MP Anita Vandenbeld said.

“Complications during pregnancy and childbirth are the second leading cause of death for girls that age,” she

said, adding that even girls and their newborns who survive are at risk of suffering serious complications.

Healthy and empowered teens will be the key “to pulling millions out of poverty” and helping ensure sustainable development goals are reached, said Vandenbeld, who at one time worked with women’s groups in the Congo and Ethiopia.

The African nations taking part were chosen for the solid base of midwives they already have, as well as a readiness to participate in the new initiative.

“They also have quite a big burden as well,” Morris said. “Maternal and newborn mortality rates are quite high, particularly in the DRC (the Congo) and Ethiopia.”

The hope is that the volunteers will come from across Canada, including Ottawa.

The midwives will go overseas for shorter durations, so as not to take them away from their work in Canada too long.

There is a need for more midwives in Canada as well, said Morris, which is the reason their volunteer time in Africa will be short term.

However, the benefits of sharing their skills there will produce significant returns.

“By having those skills that they learn in the countries, they bring those skills back to share with their colleagues here,” Morris said. “So it’s an opportunity to cross-share.”

The experience will give them a better understanding and appreciation of different cultures, which will prove beneficial since Canada is such a multicultural society, she said.

That’s all folks for Bluesfest 2016 Top left: Pop band Duran Duran brought the 1980s back to life July 16 at RBC Bluesfest.

A large and enthusiastic crowd took in the show led by singer Simon Lebon, left. Other band members seen included Roger Taylor on drums and John Taylor on bass. Rapper Nelly performed on the Claridge Homes stage the same evening, which was the final Saturday night of the festival. The annual music festival took over Lebreton Flats for almost two weeks before wrapping up on July 17.

Bottom left: While Duran Duran brought the pop sounds of the ‘80s to the festival, rockers The Cult brought a heavier guitar-based ‘80s vibe to the stage on July 9.

Hi my name is Gump.

I love photo bombing, chasing squirrels out of my yard and visiting my elderly neighbour who calls me Chip.

I live with my brother from another mother, Bob, and I prefer to pick at your leg while you’re eating rather than eat my own food.

Dogs Die In Hot Cars Leaving a dog alone in a hot car, even for just a few minutes, can be fatal. Each year, the Ottawa Humane Society gets hundreds of calls about dogs left in cars. A parked car can quickly become a furnace, even on a mild summer day, endangering an animal’s life and leaving the owner at risk of criminal charges.

With only hot air to breathe, a dog’s normal cooling process – panting – doesn’t work. A dog can withstand an internal body temperatures of 40C for only a few minutes before brain damage or death can occur.

Pet of the Week: Coco (ID# A190696) Meet Coco, a loving girl looking for her happily ever after.

Coco is a big dog with an even bigger heart. Her favourite activities include eating treats, getting belly rubs and running around outside. After a long day, she loves to curl up in bed with her human friends.

Coco is looking for a patient owner who will help her become comfortable in her new home. She gets along well with other respectful and gentle dogs. Could Coco be the dog for you?

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

Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly! To learn more about adopting an animal from the Ottawa Humane Society please contact us:

New addition to church pew was very entertaining

O

ur family sat in the pew next to the very front of the church, which I always thought was a shame because I could never see a thing going on behind me.

Mother forbade us to turn around in our seats, and my sister Audrey said the whole back of the church could fall in behind us, and Mother would expect us to keep our eyes peeled straight ahead.

I thought the church service long and boring.

The time dragged by, and even though Audrey said it was a real sin to let my mind wander away from what the minister was saying, I had no idea what he was talking about.

And so it was with more than a bit of joy the day a very elderly lady moved from the back to the other end of our pew. Mother said she had lost a lot of her hearing, and through necessity had to

MARY COOK Memories move closer to the minister.

My brother Emerson said she didn’t know how lucky she was, whatever that meant. I hardly knew the old woman, but I was delighted she was close at hand, because now I had something else to occupy my mind.

That first Sunday, she was already sitting in her seat by the time we piled in beside her. The seats curved, so I had no trouble looking over in her direction and giving her a good going over. She was like a little bird: a wren, or maybe a robin. She sat

with her hands folded in her lap on top of her opened Bible.

Mother nodded in her direction, but the old woman either had no desire to be friendly, or there was something wrong with her eyesight as well.

It looked like someone had just propped her in the seat. In fact, I wondered if that was what had happened, and I wished at once, that we had been there to see her come in.

Emerson hissed he thought she may have passed

So we've brought back the Best of the Best!

away. Mother poked him on the knee to hush him up. But then she opened her purse to take out a little lacy hanky, and a strong whiff of lavender perfume floated over the pew causing Emerson to raise his hand to his mouth and let out a loud gagging cough. He wasn’t too fond of perfume. But at least it proved the old lady was still alive.

Her skin looked like it had been drawn tightly across her face, and there was no doubt about it, she was going to give me plenty to think about during the long service, and I was secretly delighted, I confess, that she had lost her hearing and had to move up to the front of the church.

I soon realized the sinfulness of my thoughts, and asked a quick forgiveness from God for harbouring such ideas.

I had no idea what the minister was talking about

that day. I was too engrossed in the old lady in the seat beside us. It wasn’t long before she started to doze off and yet she never moved a fraction of an inch in the pew.

But her eyelids slipped down, fluttered open, and then closed again for good.

Her eyes looked exactly like a chicken’s who had fallen asleep in the hot sun.

Almost transparent, with no eyelashes, and white as the driven snow.

She flew awake when the organist let out a blast for the last hymn. I must say it startled me too, and for the first time, the old lady looked over at us, and issued what passed for a smile. When the service was over, Mother reached across and extended a hand.

Then the old lady opened her purse again, and another whiff of lavender settled around us. She took a nickel out of her purse and handed it to me, and said it was for

being so good in church.

I was dumbfounded, and Emerson pushed in beside me, but there was no more money in the offing.

And then Mother, to my horror, beamed at me after I said my thanks, and told me to go and put it in the offering plate at the front of the church. I couldn’t believe my ears! The old woman was beaming at me, and I knew I had to do what Mother said, and hand over the nickel. A whole nickel!

With a heavy heart I went up to the plate and dropped it in. It was the fastest money I had ever earned, and it was the shortest time I had ever had a nickel in my possession!

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, this week you will get a strong sense of what you have to do to solidify a relationship. Build off of what you and your significant other have in common.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Employ flattery more in your daily conversations, Taurus. You attract more flies with honey than vinegar, so begin with a compliment before providing constructive criticism.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, others may value your advice even if they do not ultimately take it to heart. Do not let this get in the way of offering guidance to others down the road.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, give more thought to responsibilities that might be weighing you down. It might be time to lighten your load a little bit. Find someone to help you out.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, get to the heart of the problem so you can find a solution as quickly as possible. Take ownership of your leadership role in a situation and direct others with confidence.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, take a calm approach to an unexpected situation this week. Looking at things coolly and calmly will help you rectify the situation in a way that benefits all involved.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you may have bitten off a little more than you can chew, as you didn’t realize just how much energy was required to complete a task.

Don’t hesitate to ask for help.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, although you have many admirers this week, there’s only one person whose opinion matters to you. Strengthen that relationship as much as you can.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you’re usually helping other people out, but this time others are lending you a helping hand. Accept any help you receive with humility.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you may be in the mood for entertaining of late, so open your home to friends and family. Enjoy the festive scene, which is right in your wheelhouse.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Experiment with a new hobby or a crafty idea, Aquarius. This newfound passion may fill those hours when you find your mind straying toward boredom.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Don’t put off rest this week, Pisces. You need to catch up on some R&R, which has been in short supply lately.
