Shortly after winning the men’s 200-metre race in 19.96 seconds on July 9, Scarborough’s Andre De Grasse waves to a packed house at the Terry Fox Athletic Facility for the Canadian Track and Field Championships, held July 3 to 9. De Grasse, who took silver in the 100-metre men’s sprint at the 2016 Rio Olympics – making him the second fastest man on Earth – also won gold Friday night in the 100-metre men’s race at the Mooney’s Bay track. The championships drew a star lineup of Canadian track athletes. For more photos, turn to page 11.

South extension of Trillium Line to benefit Riverside South: mayor By Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Running the Trillium Line extension further south will get light rail closer to residents of the expanding Riverside South community, said Mayor Jim Watson on July 5. Watson and city rail planning di-

Swail said by using the existing rail corridor, the extension won’t exceed the $3 billion budgeted for Stage 2 of LRT. “Sticking to the city’s right-of-way to the south, even with grade separation at Bowesville, will cost less,” Swail said, adding the shift in alignment could make it easier to extend

rector Chris Swail said the realignment would add approximately 800 metres to the main line and extend it south of Earl Armstrong Road on an existing rail corridor before connecting it with Bowesville Road. The line currently ends at Greenboro Station, and the planned extension is slated to be complete in 2021.

the line to Limebank Road. An extension to Limebank would cost an estimated $40 million, but it could be done in tandem with Stage 2 construction or be a standalone project down the road. The money simply isn’t in the city’s coffers right now. “Stage 2 has hit the affordability cap,” Swail said, adding city officials will need to have discussions with the development community. Swail said this is likely to be the last big change to Stage 2 before the tender documents go out. There’s a similar addition to the original plans for the west end. Stage 2 will bring rail to Algonquin College, Moodie Drive and Trim Road. Swail said to expect an announcement of the three firms that will be handling the construction work

on the Trillium Line in the coming weeks. Watson said the city will look at working with private partners to fast track the extension. By moving ahead with development on the north and south sides of Earl Armstrong, the city hopes to raise enough capital from development charges to fund the extension to Riverside South. “There is still more work to be done to see what can be achieved, as well as when,” Watson said. “Riverside South is no longer on the outside looking in.” Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish praised the new plan for avoiding environmentally sensitive areas. The change will also shave a kilometre off riders’ commutes, he said. The line will connect to Barrhaven bus routes via Vimy Bridge.

Bowesville LRT extension could expedite town centre stop By Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

An extra 800 metres of rail that will be tacked onto Ottawa’s southern light-rail transit line could speed up the timeline to put the last station at Riverside South’s future town centre. Hopes are high among developers and south Ottawa residents alike following the city’s announcement July 5 that the Trillium LRT line’s most southerly stop at Bowesville, between Leitrim and Earl Armstrong roads, will be relocated farther south on Bowesville, just south of Earl Armstrong. “It’s a positive step, for sure,” said Marcel Dénommé, director of land development at Urbandale, one of three builders with the Riverside South Development Corp., comprised of Urbandale Construction, Richcraft Homes and HN Homes, which own about 80 per cent of the land in Riverside South. “It gets it, in our mind, a little better situated within the community. It’s more central to the community, and also our end goal is to get it through the middle of the town centre,” he said of the final station’s location. The city’s announcement revealed the Bowesville stop realignment will facilitate another three kilometres of track to just east of Limebank Road, though there isn’t the money to do it just yet. “It gets us closer,” Dénommé said of its potential. “We’re going to keep chipping away at this to ensure it gets there sooner than later.” Beyond that three-kilometre stretch, only another 500 metres would bring the train

over to the park-and-ride,” Lindsay said. The new Trillium Line is scheduled to open in 2021. But there is now a chance of extending the line to the town centre within that time frame, or maybe 2022, said Dénommé. “It’s within reach and we hope with this announcement — and, of course, with people calling councillors — we’re going to find a way to get this there now versus later,” he said. The final leg to the town centre, where a community centre and library will be located, wouldn’t take long to build, said Dénommé, who suggest that three-kilometre add-on may not cost the $30 million that was suggested at the announcement, since the line will be going through open fields. “There’s no real obstruction compared to when you’re doing the downtown work or even through the existing Trillium Line,” said Dénommé. “It’s so close now,” he said. “Let’s find a way to make it happen versus in 20 years.”

closer to the future town centre, which will be just west of Limebank. “Right now, it would be another 20 years before it is extended (under the current plan),” Dénommé said. While the announcement was welcomed by the Riverside South Community Association, a more centrally located stop is preferred. “Our concern is that it’s still not where people would like it to be. Ideally, it would be best in the community core,” said Bruce Lindsay, association president. “It’s like you can see the shore — it’s within your eyeshot — but you still have to get to the shore. It’s not like you’re along the edge of the water.” While the new Bowesville stop will mean Riverside South commuters will only have to drive three kilometres instead of four to the new LRT park-and-ride, a stop deeper into the community would be more convenient. “You have to hop in your car. You’re not going to walk from the existing development

Tacking on another 800 metres of track for the city’s Trillium light-rail transit network could help open the door to advancing the line another 3.5 kilometres farther into Riverside South, according to Marcel Dénommé, director of land development at Urbandale Corporation, one of three primary builders and landowners in the south Ottawa suburb. Constructing the line deeper into Riverside South would also speed up residen-

tial growth in the area, likely by several years. The community is currently

home to about 15,000 people and 5,000 residences. See EXTENSION, page 18

Nevil Hunt/Metroland

The Ottawa airport has both a noise sensitive zone (shown in pink) where some kinds of development are restricted, and height restrictions for development (in orange).

Airport seeks public comments on long-term master plan By Nevil Hunt nevil.hunt@metroland.com

Ottawa’s airport is seeking input on the coming 20 years. “Tell us where we need to improve, and what we’re doing right,” said Krista Kealey of the Ottawa International Airport Authority. The authority is working on a new master plan — one that looks up to 20 years into the future. Part of the challenge is that all the development plans have to mesh with the NCC and three levels of government. The airport’s most recent expansion was in 2008, and while there are peak periods each day when the airport comes close to capacity, there are no immediate plans to increase terminal space. “We don’t want to build for peaks in demand,” said Kealey, who serves as vice-president of communications and public affairs. She said the authority wants to make the best possible use of existing infrastructure. “We’re not going to build unless we have to,” she said. There is annual growth in the number of passengers

served by Ottawa’s airport, but that doesn’t always mean an increase in the number of flights. Kealey said airlines may choose to bring in larger planes when passenger volumes increase, so passenger growth doesn’t always mean more planes taking off and landing. In addition, she said aircraft manufacturers continue to make improvements that reduce noise. The Ottawa airport does get occasional noise complaints, and Kealey said they’re more common in hot, humid weather, when airplanes climb more slowly. Summer weather also means the windows of residents’ homes on the flight path are more likely to be open. Many of those heavy and slow-climbing flights also carry critical cargo to the Far North, as Ottawa is a hub for supplies. LIGHT RAIL

One change that’s assured is the addition of a light-rail station at the airport, expected in 2021. Kealey said the arrival of LRT is “very positive,” and

people arriving in Ottawa expect an easy connection to downtown. The authority is footing the bill for the rail station, which will likely connect to the terminal on the second floor. Kealey said the airport board is keeping an eye on long-term plans and making sure decisions that deal with short-term issues don’t limit options in decades to come. That’s where the current review of the master plan comes in. After a public consultation on July 5 in Orléans and one on July 11 in Aylmer, the authority will begin to formulate the master plan. Kealey said the long-term looks good for the city’s international airport, in part because of “a very supportive community.” “The airport makes a significant contribution to the local economy,” she said. “We’re a good member of the community and I think that resonates with people.” SURVEY

The public can provide input to the master plan at 2038. yow.ca.

Airport taxiway upgrade rerouting planes By Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Ottawa residents living north and south of the Ottawa International Airport can expect to see increased air traffic and noise this summer, while those living in the opposite direction will get a two-month reprieve. Flights are now being rerouted through to the end of August and for one week in September or October to allow for upgrades of a taxiway connection to the airport’s busiest runway, known as the 7/25. “Because the east/west runway is being worked on and shut down, all of our air traffic will use the north/south runway 14/32, which means all of those neighbourhoods to the north and south of the runway are the ones that are going to get the traffic this summer exclusively, unfortunately,” said Krista Kealey, spokesperson for the Ottawa International Airport Authority. Communities such as those in Kitchissippi Ward, as well as Aylmer, Que. to the north and south down to Greely and Osgoode will see a noticeable difference. “In terms of how low (the planes) are (flying), it really depends on weather conditions,” she said, adding that hot and humid weather can impact aircraft lift during takeoff, for example. The reconstruction project will focus on taxiway Bravo, connecting the terminal apron to that runway, which sees the most traffic at the airport. The approach lighting system will be upgraded with more lights, storm sewers will be installed, pavement will be resurfaced and line-painting will be done. “In order to be able to do that on taxiway Bravo, you have to shut it down, which then doesn’t allow access to runway 7/25,” Kealey said. In June, prework began on taxiway Charlie, which leads to another runway, one that did not have to be shut down as a result. The re-construction of taxiway Bravo began July 4. Over a one-week period this fall, red-light towers at the ends of runway 7/25 will be installed. Known as a simplified short approach lighting system, it allows greater visibility of the runway from longer distances, which will be a benefit for pilots on approach to the airport. The upgrades are not a re-

sponse to any changes in aviation regulations. “As technology improves and you have the opportunity to do some of those works, it makes sense while you’re doing other life cycle work like the taxiway work,” Kealey said. “This is a part of our ongoing commitment to airside safety.” Next summer, the taxiway leading to runway 14/32, which is the longest runway at the airport, will be overhauled. The cost of the project this summer is $6 million, which includes the $3-million lighting system that will be installed this summer and next. The price tag of the taxiway construction project slated for the summer of 2018 is not yet known. The runways themselves were overhauled in recent years. Crews working on the upgrades are working to expedite the reopening of the taxiway and runway as soon as possible. “The teams we have working on these projects really get how important it is that we finish them as quickly as possible,” said Kealey. “The earlier the better.”

2017 Pavement Marking Program I have recently received a number of inquiries about the need to repaint road lines in Gloucester-Southgate and wanted to provide an update to residents on this work. The Pavement Marking program refreshes all pavement markings on City roads and operates each year from early May to early November. This involves applying pavement markings at all signalized intersections, completing white and yellow lane lines and repainting other markings like: stop bars, PXO markings, cycling markings and right and left turn arrows.

Notice of Completion of Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) Baseline Road Bus Rapid Transit Corridor (Bayshore Station to Heron Station) Planning and Environmental Assessment Study

The Project The City of Ottawa has completed an Environmental Project Report for a Baseline Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) facility between Bayshore Station and Heron Station, in accordance with Ontario Regulation 231/08. The corridor follows an alignment which includes Holly Acres Road, Richmond Road, Baseline Road, and Heron Road (Figure 1). Near the Baseline Station area, it travels via Constellation Drive, Navaho Drive, College Avenue and Woodroffe Avenue to link the Centrepointe community and Algonquin College campus. The project proposes dedicated bus-only lanes (generally in the median), 25 new transit stations and new pedestrian and cycling facilities along the length of the 14-km corridor. The project will incorporate all elements of a complete street while also maintaining the function of the road as an Arterial Road. This project is part of the Rapid Transit and Transit Priority Network identified in the City’s Transportation Master Plan (TMP) 2013 and connects to other existing and planned rapid transit corridors, including the West Transitway, the Confederation Line, the Southwest Transitway, the Trillium Line, and Southeast Transitway. The project will accommodate the anticipated growth in transit ridership as contemplated in the TMP and support the growth management policies identified in the City’s Official Plan (OP).

Notice of Completion Baseline Woodroffe Stormwater Management Pond Class Environmental Assessment Class Environmental Assessment Study Report Available for Review The City of Ottawa has completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) Study for the construction of a stormwater management (SWM) pond at the northeast corner of Baseline Road and Woodroffe Avenue. The pond will provide treatment and flow control for runoff from some 435 hectares that currently drain uncontrolled to Pinecrest Creek. The Baseline Woodroffe SWM pond was identified as a priority project in the Pinecrest Creek/ Westboro SWM Retrofit Study (P/W Study), completed in 2011. The P/W Study was completed as a Master Plan under the Municipal Class EA process, identifying a preferred SWM retrofit plan composed of multiple projects. Prior to implementation, individual infrastructure projects recommended in the retrofit plan are required to complete additional Class EA requirements. For the Baseline Woodroffe SWM pond, the process for a “Schedule B” undertaking has been followed in accordance with the Municipal Class EA (2000), as amended 2007 and 2011.

The Process The environmental impact of this transit project was assessed and documented in an Environmental Project Report prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects and Greater Toronto Transportation Authority Undertakings. The Environmental Project Report documents the entire study process, including a description of the planned project, its anticipated environmental impacts, and the project’s consultation program. The Final Environmental Project Report for the Baseline Road Bus Rapid Transit Corridor is now available for a 30-day public review period starting July 13, 2017.

Better travel days lie ahead

etting around during major events is always a challenge in Ottawa, but one we should expect. So it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise that Canada Day taxed our public services. OC Transpo was swamped, in part because it’s impossible to predict passenger demand that ebbs and flows with the weather. Then there was the challenge of having members of the Royal Family moved to and from Parliament Hill – more streets closed and buses stuck. One thing that could have been improved was the speed of security lines to access Parliament Hill. Too few entrances, too few staff, too few signs for the lineups, and too little food for those who persevered and made it onto the soggy grass. This city deals with VIPs and major celebrations throughout the year. It’s now summer and we’ll have more streets shut down in the coming weeks than we’ll see any other time of year. Plan accordingly – use transit, ride a bike or

walk. Even for folks in the suburbs, it’s possible to drive within cycling or walking distance of our big festivals, and then make an easy arrival. If you’re not planning to attend a festival or other event, check the traffic before you head out on your usual jaunts, just to make sure there’s no parade scheduled to block you in or out. There’s no use merely grumbling about traffic. New smartphone apps like Waze make it possible to check for traffic tie-ups before leaving home, and while on the road. And every time someone – maybe you – avoids congestion, the better off every other driver. You can be part of the solution and not part of the problem. Transit in Ottawa is about to take a great leap forward, with light rail about a year away. When the tunnels open and trains begin service, hundreds of city buses will disappear from downtown, and the payoff for motorists will finally be realized. Yes there are better days ahead in 2018. But for now, let’s enjoy the summer of 2017.

Bigger is not always better for a community

hat’s your picture of Canada Day 150? Is it happy folks on Parliament Hill with lots of flags and smiles? I hope. But I wonder if it will be another picture that sticks in your mind. That’s the one that shows the Mackenzie Bridge at rush hour with so many stuck buses on it that it’s impossible to count. That was four days before. The photo was accompanied by warnings that things might get worse. They did. Streets would be closed, barriers erected, normal patterns disrupted. That happens with big events. Canada Day would be the biggest ever and more preparations were needed to get ready for more people. Plus — a big plus — security. You wouldn’t expect things to be smooth under such circumstances and

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town they weren’t. People were angry already and the big event was days away. Meanwhile there were warnings about how bad the situation was expected to be. There would be security screening. Would there ever! Yet, as with all big events, many people had a fine time on the day, the people who got inside, the people who made it through the lineups. The show was great, the mood was good despite the rain. But too many people, way too many, were stuck on the outside. The lineups were too long, too disorganized. There was not enough food,

too few bathrooms. A lot of people were disappointed. It’s not as if the authorities weren’t trying, both on the federal and the municipal side. It was just too big. Add in the rain, add in the extra security for the visiting Royals, and it simply couldn’t work. And it probably won’t the next time either. In the aftermath, people will be asking whether it was all worth it. Partly the expense: many useful — and lasting — things could have been done with the money spend on the celebration. But also the sheer inconvenience of it. Should the people who live yearround in town have to put up with a major disruption in their lives for the sake of an event designed to attract tourists? And it wasn’t exactly a walk in the park for the tourists either. Could we, perhaps, go a bit smaller? There are those who say no, that the

Mary enjoyed Orangeman’s parade

Week In Review! High School Graduations I was honoured to present an award to both schools in recognition of the students’ hard work throughout their schooling careers. Both St. Mark Catholic High School and Osgoode Township High School will now be sending these successful young adults out into the world where they will be able to apply their learned skills into real life. I wish all of these students the best in their future endeavours. Congratulations to our 2017 Graduates!

t didn’t matter a whit if you were an Irish Catholic, a German Lutheran, or someone from some other background, everyone for miles around went to the Orangeman’s parade on the 12th of July. Father and the brothers were up at the crack of dawn to do the chores early, and Mother and Audrey were making the lunch to take into Renfrew long before I was out of bed. It would be the most exciting event since the parade several years ago. Towns took turns in hosting the 12th of July, and that year it was Renfrew’s turn. If you didn’t get into town early to park on the main street, you had to go to wherever you could find a spot, and you then ended up

Canada Day Breakfast The Mayor’s Annual Canada Day Breakfast for Seniors was jam packed as usual. Seeing so many people come out to show their pride for Canada while wearing their red and white was an awesome sight to see. It was a pleasure to help serve breakfast and have time to chat with many residents from Osgoode Ward. The live entertainment, a unique red and white quilt, and a 50th Anniversary section of celebrating couples were all parts of this outstanding annual event.

Canada Day in Greely Despite the inconsistent weather, my 2nd Annual Free BBQ in Greely for Canada Day was a resounding success. The celebration fun was endless with family activities, Fries for Charity, wagon rides, a petting zoo, and so much more. New this year to the Greely Community Association’s celebration was a beer tent which also featured live entertainment from an outstanding performer, Spencer Scharf. The fantastic work by the GCA board members and volunteers is what made this event possible.

man’s parade, that leading the bands and people walking down Raglan Street, would be King Billy on a white horse, dressed in white himself, with sashes and ribbons in bright orange. I was fairly tingling by the time we saw the white horse three blocks away, and you could hear the people clapping and cheering as the Orangemen marched behind bands. They too, were all dressed in white, with orange banners across their chests. I asked my sister Audrey why we couldn’t be in the parade too, and she said you had to be Irish, and preferably a Catholic. Well, there were the Briscoes and they certainly weren’t Catholic! Audrey told me to hush up and listen to the bands soon to be in front of us, as we leaned against the Model T. And then we heard the clomp-clomp of hooves, and knew King Billy would soon appear. And appear he did! Such splendour! Such vivid colours, and the plumed hat, which was obviously too big for him, covering his eyes, so that he had to toss his head back every few seconds to see where he was going and wave to the throngs of people. And right behind King Billy was the Orangeman who was obviously just as important as King Billy himself. He had a small drum attached to his waist somehow, but he was also blowing into the tiniest horn I had ever seen. His white cap was rimmed with orange braid, and every so often he would take the horn and use it to push the cap back, and then he’d give the little drum a rap with the horn for good measure. He didn’t look right to me, and it was Father’s comment, which told me why. “He’s as drunk as a hoot-owl,” he said. “I don’t think he’ll make it as far as the swinging bridge.” I lost count of the number of bands and the people walking behind, some children far younger than I was, dressed in full regalia for the day. And right then I made up my mind that as soon as I was old enough I was going to become an Orangeman! I couldn’t think of anything more exciting than walking in a parade dressed in white with an orange sash, and band music filling the air. Even though my sister said you had to be Irish and preferably a Catholic, which I doubted, I decided if I had to give up the Lutheran Church, and my German heritage, so be it! At that young age, I decided if that was the price of becoming an Orangeman, it was a price I was willing to pay!

Staples Summer Company Entrepreneurial Program Summer Company is Ontario’s flagship entrepreneurial program for students ages 15-29. It helps young entrepreneurs start and run their own business over the summer. The program gives students grants of up to $3,000 to turn their ideas into a business. It also offers them hands-on training and practical advice and mentorship from local business leaders. Since 2013, over 4,300 students in Ontario have launched a business through Summer Company. I attended the fourth annual Summer CompanyStaples Youth Entrepreneurship Day at the South Keys Staples store last week where 14 young entrepreneurs from the Ottawa area were promoting their businesses. This unique event gives over 500 students the opportunity to showcase their summer businesses at 32 Staples locations across the province. It helps young entrepreneurs gain valuable business experience and real-time feedback by allowing them to promote their products and services to customers. Summer Company participants from previous years launched a variety of businesses in areas such as landscaping, tutoring, artisanal crafts production, custom cake design, app development and web design. Supporting the next generation of job creators is part of our plan to create jobs, grow our economy and help people in their everyday lives.

Mother Nature toying with HOPE volleyball Concert ticket sales could bump up charity dollars By Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Faced with a decline in volleyball team registrations, HOPE Volleyball SummerFest organizers are hoping concert ticket and food and drink sales will make up the difference in their quest to support local charities. When the 35th edition of the largest day-long volleyball event of the year in Ottawa takes over a large chunk of Mooney’s Bay Park on July 15, there will be 80 courts, down from 87 last year.

That represents a decline of about 40 teams in the corporate, competitive and recreational categories. The registration deadline was even extended this year to help. “We found this year has been – like every other event – a bit of a challenge because of the weather,” said Holly Tarrison, executive director of HOPE, which stands for Helping Other People Everywhere. “Just pack your raincoat, your sunscreen and a hat – you’ll be fine.” It was a completely different scenario last year. “We had a sell out (crowd) last year and we maxed out our courts. We added more courts last year too,” Tarrison said. Organizers of the many annual

special events and festivals in Ottawa regularly compare notes with one another, and it’s evident that HOPE’s experience is not isolated. “We know that everyone has been down in registration,” she said. “I know we are the festival capital, but whether it’s fatigue, I don’t know.” Whether the plethora of Ottawa 2017 events being held to mark Canada’s 150th birthday may be competing doesn’t quite add up, since many of those are free and not related to many of the regular annual festivals, she added. But, while outdoor events are experiencing some fall-out from the irregular and rainy weather, indoor events are also feeling the pinch this year, said Tarrison. “Everyone has encountered some kind of issue,” she said, adding that HOPE is also seeing a decline in its volunteer numbers. The festival relies on 800 the day of the event. Each of the recipient charities – Children at Risk, the Sexual Assault Support Centre of Ottawa, Dress for Success Ottawa, Shepherds of Good Hope, the Ottawa Community Housing Foundation and the Waupoos Foundation – is required to contribute 50 volunteers. “We can function, but we need all the help,” Tarrison said, noting that an average of seven to 10 per cent of volunteers typically don’t show up the day of the festival. Still, there is optimism that HOPE’s concert lineup will attract a supportive crowd and help the organization generate $25,000 for each of the six charities. “We’re hoping we have a great draw the day of too because registration is a major impact on our bottom line,” Tarrison said. See WE, page 13

‘We can function, but we need all the help’ Continued from page 12

“But our walk-ups for ticket sales and when people come up and buy a drink also does help us too.” There is excitement over the new three-year partnership the festival newly entered with Ottawa-based Big Rig Brewery, which is the event’s new title sponsor and will be serving craft beer on site. “Ultimately, this is perfect because we’re a grassroots organization and that’s how Big Rig started too,’ Tarrison said, adding that part owners Lon Ladell and retired Ottawa Senator Chris Phillips

will speak at the festival at around 5:15 p.m. before performances by concert co-headliners USS (Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker), which is coming off a successful European tour, and the Lowest of the Low, which will perform songs from their new record. The Strumbellas will headline. “We’ve had a lot of people calling asking, ‘When can I get tickets?’ even before we put the link up,” Tarrison said. “People are really digging deep and getting their plans organized for coming to see the show earlier than we’ve had in the past.” It all comes down to giving back

to the community by providing a day of team-building volleyball and live entertainment, all in support of local causes. Dollars generated will help fund a range of programs that assist immigrant and refugee women who have suffered sexual violence, provide day camps for children with autism and summer camp getaways for low-income families, as well as financial assistance with art, sports and camp programs for kids from neighbourhoods in need, support a peer-run pilot program for formerly homeless women, and provide for professional development programming for women.

Wild Parsnip Spraying The spray program for wild parsnip in Ottawa greenspace and parkland locations is underway. In the south end of River Ward, the Brookfield pathway network, from the Via Rail crossing, southbound to where the path parallels the Airport Parkway has been sprayed for wild parsnip. Wild parsnip, which is also known as poison parsnip, is a member of the carrot/parsley family. It typically grows a low, spindly rosette of leaves in the first year while the root develops. In the second year it flowers on a tall stalk and then dies. The plant can form dense stands and spreads quickly in disturbed areas such as abandoned yards, waste dumps, meadows, open fields, roadsides and railway embankments. Its seeds are easily dispersed by wind and water, and on mowing or other equipment. The sap of the plant can cause severe burns and caution must be used if attempting to cut or remove the plant. This is why the City is taking action to spray along the Brookfield pathway.

Summer Construction at YOW The Ottawa Airport has two major airside construction projects scheduled for July and August. The projects include taxiway reconstruction and an upgrade to the approach lighting systems. These projects have been scheduled concurrently in an effort to minimize operational disruptions and community impact. Runway 07/25 (east-west) is closed for approximately eight weeks. The closure means that Runway 14/32 (northsouth) will be used for all commercial traffic this summer.

Perley Rideau residents receive safe passage By Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Stage 2 LRT Extension Near Riverside South I was pleased to join Mayor Watson and Council colleagues on July 5th to announce a new alignment for the O-Train Trillium Line extension as part of the Stage 2 Light Rail Transit project. It will move the new Bowesville Station to the intersection at Earl Armstrong Road and Bowesville Road, a kilometre closer to Riverside South than the initial plan indicated. The new alignment will take advantage of existing rail corridors, reducing environmental impact and give residents easier access to our city’s exciting new transit system. This new alignment also facilitates a potential future extension to Limebank Road to better integrate with the community of Riverside South as it grows. More information can be found by visiting my website michaelqaqish.com. Ward 22 Annual Community BBQ On July 22nd I will be hosting the 3rd Annual Ward 22 Community BBQ. This year the event will take place from 11am-2pm at Diamond Jubilee Park, located on White Alder Avenue in Findlay Creek. This is a free community event and is open to all residents. Come out and enjoy lots of fun activities including bouncy castles, Ray’s reptiles, Brad the Balloon guy and even a petting zoo. We have also invited many city departments to come out and showcase what they do. It is sure to be a fun day for the whole family. I hope to see you there! Transportation Committee Approves Next Step in Earl Armstrong Extension Transportation Committee recently approved the Statement of Work for an environmental assessment of the extension of Earl Armstrong Road from Albion to Hawthorne. This extension will ensure more accessible transportation in the area and address further growth in the Riverside South and Findlay Creek communities. The environmental assessment will help protect the corridor during the extension.

Joan Olinik is, in a word, elated. Two years after she launched her campaign for a pedestrian crossing outside the Perley and Rideau Veterans’ Health Centre, she safely crossed Russell Road with her father Gordon Moore, a veteran of the Second World War. “We couldn’t have asked for better,” said Olinik, a Greely resident who regularly volunteers at the Perley Rideau where her father lives. “I’m so happy this morning. I’m happy for our veterans. I’m happy for the residents, the staff, and the family members to have this wonderful crossover, the PXO,”

she said July 5, two weeks after work began on the signalized crosswalk and on repairs to nearby sidewalks along Russell Road. Olinik credited Doris Jenkins, a Perley Rideau resident and Second World War veteran, who approached her in the spring of 2015 about the need for a crosswalk to ensure residents could safely cross Russell to get to an OC Transpo bus stop. Jenkins organized the first meeting with Alta Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier in July 2015. “We all met on the side of Russell Road so everyone could see the flow of the traffic and the dangers involved in trying to cross Russell Road, and the poor conditions of the sidewalks,” Olinik said during the ceremony.

At the end of that meeting, Jenkins handed Olinik a red file folder and said: “‘Ok, girl. Go. Go. Now make it happen.’ “I was a little taken aback by her request, but I knew that when Doris spoke, it was to be done,” said Olinik. Olinik began her advocacy campaign, regularly calling and emailing Cloutier and appealing to city officials at town hall meetings. Cloutier, in turn, pitched the need for the crossing to Mayor Jim Watson. It was at a budget-themed town hall meeting in October 2016 that Olinik made another appeal. In response, Watson promised then that she would get her PXO by July 1, 2017. See THIS, page 15

Seniors’ Apartments in Ottawa Focus Group Participants Needed

Have Your Say on City Projects The City would like to hear your input on upcoming and ongoing projects. As a resident of Ottawa your opinion is valuable to us as it helps us make responsible decisions. The City of Ottawa website (ottawa.ca) has a number of ongoing online consultations on the following projects: the commemorative naming proposals for William Bradley Park, Allan Frederick Moore Park, and Lyndall Winters Trail; along with Snow Plow Driveway Markers, the Ogilvie Road Multi-Use Pathway, a Property Standards By-law Review and the marketing of unhealthy food and drinks to children and youth. I encourage residents to stay informed on projects like these and to take any opportunity to provide input. STEP Theme for July Ottawa Police Service’s Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) will be focusing on cycling safety and red light running during the month of July. Along with the OPS, the RCMP, Ontario Provincial Police, Department of National Defense Military Police, and Gatineau Police Service will work together on increased enforcement in these areas. This will raise awareness about the dangers involved with cycling and running a red light, ultimately reducing the number of road deaths associated with these issues. More info can be found at ottawa.ca. Canada Day Celebrations Thank you to everyone who came out to Claudette Cain Park for Canada Day Celebrations. It was great to see the residents of Riverside South and Findlay Creek come together on such a special day. Congratulations and thank you to all the organizers, volunteers, and sponsors who help make these events possible. It was an honour to take part in the ceremonies.

‘This is truly a blessing,’ volunteer says of new pedestrian crossing Continued from page 14

“This truly is a blessing for the Perley Rideau family, and I thank you for keeping your promise,” Olinik said. Cloutier said the crosswalk, which cost an estimated $35,000, is the result of collaboration. “Today is a testament to what we can do when we work together when we have a goal,” he said. “We want to provide the safest access possible for residents to transit services and to get out and about in the community.” The timing for the pushbutton lighting system has been extended from 18 seconds to 27 seconds to give Perley Rideau’s aging residents, some of whom rely on walkers or wheelchairs, more time to cross the busy street. As well, the location of the OC Transpo bus stops on either side of Russell Road have been shifted to make room for the crosswalk. Signage at the PXO pays special tribute to Canada’s military veterans, and reads:

Erin McCracken/Metroland

Mayor Jim Watson (right) escorts Joan Olinik (centre) and Doris Jenkins across Russell Road on July 5 after celebrating the opening of a pedestrian crosswalk on July 5. “Thank you for your service. Honouring our veterans.” “We all owe such a great debt of gratitude to all those men and women who served in uniform,” Watson said, noting that his grandfather served

in the First World War and his father served in the Second World War. “And I have the utmost respect for veterans,” he said before crediting Olinik and Jenkins for advocating for the

crossing. “Two very powerful women among us put our feet to the fire and said we need one of those pedestrian crossings right here across from the Perley Rideau veterans’ home. I think you’ll

have to register as a lobbyist, you pushed us so hard on this one,” Watson said to Olinik. The mayor also thanked Cloutier for promoting the need for the crosswalk, since there are only so many dollars available for these types of crossings. “We want to make sure when there’s veterans, when there’s family members, staff coming to the Perley Rideau veterans’ home, which is one of the best long-term-care homes we have quite frankly in the city … we managed to change a couple of things in the budget,” he said. The centre is blessed to have residents and family members who have become “crusaders.” “It’s in their DNA,” said Akos Hoffer, Perley Rideau’s chief executive officer, who recalled meeting with Cloutier two years ago to observe the traffic on Russell Road during a 3 p.m. shift change. “Perley Rideau doesn’t want to be known for its traffic, but it’s actually a good sign. People want to be here,” Hoffer said. “It’s growing. It’s thriving.” Safety is paramount at the

veterans’ health centre. “The only way we can continue to grow and thrive is to make sure that we keep an eye on safety, the safety of our residents and staff, our visitors, and our tenants,” said Hoffer. “And we have accomplished that.” During the ceremony, Cloutier said the specialized crossing means motorists are not allowed to advance until pedestrians have completely crossed the road. Drivers must also stop in the presence of a pedestrian at the crosswalk. Watson said while the PXO lights are “very effective,” it is important for pedestrians to first make eye contact with drivers. He also acknowledged Ottawa South MPP John Fraser, who was also in attendance at the event, since the crosswalk was thanks to changes the province made to the Highway Traffic Act for Jan. 1, 2016, allowing cities to install PXOs for enhanced pedestrian safety. By the fall of 2018, the City of Ottawa plans to install up to 180 pedestrian crossings, Watson said.

Battling boredom with screens may not be best approach

ith a houseful of people coming for Canada Day weekend, I managed to fend off the early days of summer vacation malaise. I put my kids to serious work, cleaning the house from top to bottom (even inside the bathroom cabinet), under good old fashioned threats and bribes,

most of which included use of technology. To some people that sounds wrong. Truth told, I still haven’t figured out how to manage my kids in a world where screens are constantly in my face. I try to be a good role model, but my consultant work and the lure of social media often see me checking my smartphone at inop-

portune times. And yet, when it comes to the kids, I don’t trust them to manage these magical devices without supervision. One friend said to me, “if you restrict screens too often, it becomes even more like crack for kids. The more they’re not allowed to have it, the more they want it.” On the other hand, there is plenty of research to suggest that screen technology is basically junk food for the brain. Teenagers today spend up to eight hours working on computers, fiddling on smartphones and streaming YouTube. For both children and adults, this is having a negative impact on our sleep, our diets and our social lives. Even having a mobile phone beside one’s bed can have detrimental effects. Researchers at King’s College in London, England studied a number of published papers linking bad sleep to screen use among adolescents. The examination of 20 studies on screens and sleep found that teens, in particular, need around 10 hours

Boredom, according to psychologists, is a good thing. It forces kids to sit and reflect, or to get outside and be active, or to be creative and come up with new tasks and ideas that can only be developed in that empty space.

of sleep per night. Bedtime screen use is among things that are limiting sleep in adolescents. It has a detrimental impact on quality of sleep, leads to shorter sleep times and, in turn, causes daytime sleepiness. “As a community we should be removing devices 90 minutes prior to bedtime,” the study’s lead author, Dr. Ben Carter, told London’s Daily Mail. As parents, however, it can be difficult to avoid the constant complaints, mostly using the phrase, “I’m bored,” particularly during the summer, when we don’t have eight hours or more per day where we’ve passed the buck of responsibility to teach-

commuter traffic. Paving, new shoulders, widenings and intersection upgrades are urgently needed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting quite desperate, to say the least,â&#x20AC;? said CĂ´tĂŠ. Her community is facing a significant tide of residential growth, and residents have long complained that roads are not being upgraded quickly enough to handle booming traffic volumes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now, at 3 p.m., on Albion, between Leitrim and Lester, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one big line of stopped cars,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Albion, right now, is more congested than Bank Street, which is saying something.â&#x20AC;? As well, bus service in Findlay Creek is currently limited to a single route. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of these things have to work in tandem,â&#x20AC;? CĂ´tĂŠ said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have one without the other.â&#x20AC;? Road upgrades will benefit drivers heading to the new Bowesville and Leitrim parkand-rides. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just be transit, obviously,â&#x20AC;? DĂŠnommĂŠ said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You also need to continue to invest

in roads.â&#x20AC;? The Bowesville stationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new location puts it that much closer for Manotick and Greely commuters, which is welcome news for residents there.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Connectivity is absolutely essential.â&#x20AC;? Klaus Beltzner, past president, Manotick Village Community Association

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a question of what makes it attractive to go there,â&#x20AC;? said Klaus Beltzner, recent past-president of the Manotick Village Community Association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just the 800 metres. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the location,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding the previous Bowesville stop was in the middle of nowhere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to be a question of are we going to be there

faster,â&#x20AC;? he said, though it will likely shave the drive down by two to five minutes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes it so convenient because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to find. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s direct.â&#x20AC;? It also offers an ideal connection for cyclists from Manotick and Greely who use the Osgoode multi-use pathway, which will be completed by the time the southern Trillium LRT is completed. As well, that location offers a more direct route to the Rideau Carleton Raceway, which will be rejuvenated as the Hard Rock Casino Ottawa in the coming years, Beltzner said, adding that road upgrades are a key ingredient, particularly for Mitch Owens, Bowesville and High roads. It also puts additional pressure on extending Earl Armstrong Road from Albion to Hawthorne roads, he said, referring to a separate yet related announcement also made July 5 that an environmental assessment of that extension will begin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Connectivity is absolutely essential, otherwise how do people get to the facility?â&#x20AC;?

Fire forces out Herongate family “Command initiated a second alarm immediately just because of the danger to the neighbouring homes,” Cardinal said of the potential for the fire to spread to attached homes on either side of the burning unit. Flames did spread from the attic,but were quickly snuffed out, reducing the impact to neighbouring units, she said, adding that neighbours will likely be able to return to their homes. The fire was brought under control within minutes by 1 p.m. and was out by 1:28 p.m. Damages to the home are estimated at more than $50,000, prompting the department to call in an investigator. The cause of the fire was not immediately known.

By Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A Herongate family of five, including three children, was forced from their home after fire broke out in a bedroom of their two-storey townhouse. Firefighters were called to a middle unit at 2870 Baycrest Dr., between Walkley and Heron roads, on July 10 at 12:44 p.m. “The 911 caller stated that a bed was on fire,” said Capt. Danielle Cardinal, Ottawa fire department spokesperson. “They’d evacuated while they were on the telephone with us, and then when firefighters arrived they always do a check just in case and it was clear,” she said of evacuated residents.

Police uniforms not welcome at parade

“That was way to easy!”

“I just clicked and saved 90%”

Did you WagJag and get in on the savings? “I can't believe I saved so much... ”

By Michelle Nash Baker michelle.nash@metroland.com

Police officers have been asked to leave their uniforms at home if they plan to walk in the Ottawa Capital Pride parade this year. The organization released a statement on June 30 saying at the request of their LGBTQ2 youth, uniformed police officers would not be welcome to attend Capital Pride activities off-duty. “As an organization, Capital Pride supports the participation of individual LGBTQ2 police officers and their allies in this year’s festival,” the group said in a statement. “ … However, it is of prime importance to us that everyone feels safe at Pride, particularly LGBTQ2 youth, and racialized and Indigenous community members. Accordingly, we respectfully request that participating officers reserve their uniforms and vehicles for official work duties only this year.” However, Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau said officers who decide to participate in the parade can choose whether to wear their uniform. The department already opted to not have a float in the parade. Bordeleau tweeted July 5 that he plans to march in the parade in uniform, with fellow officers. “Like our past many years of participation in the parade, officers will also have the choice as to

Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau participated in uniform at Ottawa Capital Pride’s 2016 parade. He plans to again walk in this year’s parade in uniform. whether they wear their uniform or regular clothes,” Bordeleau said in a statement on June 30. “We are proud of our uniform, and it is part of our identity — it’s who we are and how we serve the community.” Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley issued a statement earlier in the week, suggesting the city pull funding if this was the new direction Capital Pride was headed. “The councillor is entitled to his opinion, but I don’t share it,” said Mayor Jim Watson. He expressed disappointment with the organization’s stance,

and said he doesn’t agree, but that the city wouldn’t pull funding from the annual festival. “We don’t want to punish them for a decision they’ve made,” Watson said. According to Capital Pride, its decision was based on consultations with stakeholders and LGBTQ2 community members. “During our consultation process and in ongoing conversations with stakeholders, we have been particularly mindful of events in the last year concerning police participation in Prides across the country,” the organization said in a statement. “On the issue of police participation in the Capital Pride festival, community members have been passionate in their views.” In 2016, the police liaison committee celebrated its 25th anniversary. “We are very proud of this, partnership work with the LGBTQ communities,” Bordeleau said. “We are committed to continuing this important work with long-standing community police partners, like the liaison committee.” Both organizations say they wish to continue to work at strengthening their relationship. Pride week in the capital begins on August 21, and the parade is August 27. - with files from Jennifer McIntosh

Ottawa Humane Society Makes First FIV-Positive Cats Available for Adoption The Ottawa Humane Society has just expanded its adoption program to include cats with the FIV virus, helping even more of the animals in our community get their second chance. “We’re really excited to be able to give these animals a shot at a happy life with a forever family,” said Bruce Roney, OHS executive director. “We think our community will step up and really embrace the opportunity to help us find even more animals a home.” “We think our community is ready for this. We’ve done the research and recognize it’s time to make this change,” he said. FIV stands for feline immunodeficiency virus, said Dr. Shelley Hutchings, OHS chief veterinarian. Only cats can get FIV, as the virus does not infect other species of animals or humans, she said. “For us, adopting out these cats means more resources, like medical tests and our time, because we know it will take a little longer for them to find a permanent home. But to the right adopter, it’s just a member of their family in need of a little more TLC,” Hutchings said. With proper care, FIV-positive cats may live a long and healthy life, she said. They do need a little more care than a cat without the virus, she said. “We’re talking about twice yearly vet visits, some blood work. Maybe some extra dental care,” Hutchings said. “We know this will be daunting to some people but to the right match, it won’t be.” The most common way FIV is spread is through bite wounds. Because of this, FIV-positive cats at the OHS are only adopted into homes with no other cats, Hutchings said. “We think these cats deserve the same chance as every other feline in our Adoption Centre. These creatures will make loving companions to some lucky adopters,” Hutchings said. To learn more about the program, please visit the Ottawa Humane Society at 245 West Hunt Club Rd.

Her photographic images star the Saskatchewan prairies and offer a narrative of her mother’s experiences growing up in Canada during the 1940s and ‘50s. The archives at the James K. Bartleman Centre are located at 100 Tallwood Dr. in Nepean and are open Tuesday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.

sudoku

Bearsaeinrs

horoscopes

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, you may need to make some modifications to your strategy as a situation continues to evolve. Don’t be afraid of change, as it is necessary to get the job done.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, allow your plans for selfimprovement to take center stage, especially true if you have put them on the shelf for some time. Make yourself a priority.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, a possible breakthrough in your communication levels may open up a whole new world. This can only improve your relationships and help your career.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 It can be difficult to separate facts from the fiction, Taurus. However, you generally are a good lie detector. Put your skills to use to determine if someone is stringing you along.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you don’t tend to be reckless, but even you can surprise others sometimes with your behavior. Let the tongues wag if it means stepping out of your comfort zone.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you’re very good at balancing the elements of your life. This week may be especially challenging as many things come your way in rapid succession.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, some shocking information may find you reeling if you do not stay grounded. Although it comes as a surprise, with some processing you will be able to handle it.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, take others’ candor with a grain of salt. They might just be blowing off steam and they will appreciate having someone there who listens.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, others may seem sure about their actions even if you feel lost. Don’t put too much stock in it, as everyone copes with self-doubt from time to time.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, address a potentially mess situation before it gathers too much steam. Communication is all that’s needed to ensure cooler heads ultimately prevail.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you sometimes have a sarcastic sense of humor that makes you loved by some and disliked by others. Explain to the latter group that you mean no harm.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Some of your beliefs are nonnegotiable, Pisces. This can make for some rather heated conversations. But you’re up to the challenge.
