Hunt Club resident Layan Ibrahim (left) paints a mural at the Hunt ClubRiverside Park Community Centre, along with Hunt Club artist Claudia Salguero, who is spearheading the project, and fellow volunteers Diane Kelly, Lucie Bruck and Dianne Nahal. brimming with something for this building, which really needed colours.

“I think it’s going to be the first big mural in this area. I’m very proud. I’m very happy.”

Salguero turned to the community in April, holding a series of brainstorming sessions, during which residents pitched ideas to help flesh out Salguero’s concept to transform an exterior corner of the community centre, located at the corner of McCarthy Road and Paul Anka Drive, into a vibrant display.

Every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon and Wednesday night, residents have been gathering to create the mural.

“There’s some teenagers who bring friends, but the rest of us didn’t know each other,” said Salguero, who has also taught her volunteers different artistic techniques along the way. “It’s been very transformational, for me and the community.”

The mural will be made up of 20 pieces, each depicting different textile patterns representing many of the cultural backgrounds of those living in the Hunt Club and Riverside Park communities.

“For example, that is going to be China, that is Afghanistan, Africa. That is Turkey,” Salguero said, pointing out each colourful image.

“We chose something that is common to many of them,” she said, noting the mural will reflect about a dozen regions and countries around the world, from Europe to Asia and Africa to the Middle East.

There will also be images reflecting nature. As well, one piece will resemble a feather in recognition of Canada’s Indigenous peoples, while another will

symbolize early settlers.

Simmy Ahluwalia became involved by taking photos during the early painting sessions, but quickly became hooked and now paints three days a week.

“I love it,” the Hunt Club resident said. “It’s cultural diversity, and as I’m painting it, I’m seeing the diversity. It’s a blending of cultures.”

While the volunteers are largely from Hunt Club and Riverside Park, others who heard about the initiative, have been coming in from Cumberland, Kanata and Nepean.

“I wanted to be part of this amazing project,” said Aliaa Shoaib, a Centrepointe-area resident who has been involved since the beginning. “You get to meet new people, and you get to do art.”

The project has also received the support of the Hunt Club Community Organization and the Riverside Park Community and Recreation Association, which each put out a call for volunteers, as did the South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre, which has a satellite office at the community hub.

River Coun. Riley Brockington, whose ward includes the centre, has also lent his support, said Salguero.

Painting will wrap up by the end of August and the mural will be unveiled in October.

“It is a gift to the community,” Salguero said. “To me, the mural is just the final product. But all that happens behind (the scenes) is what really is important.”

Painting sessions take place at the centre, at 3320 Paul Anka Dr., on Tuesdays and Thursdays, noon to 3:30 p.m., and Wednesdays, 6 to 8:30 p.m.

MacLeod responds to leaked email Continued from page 1

A social media profile under the name Persian Cat, which some believe to be Ghamari, makes defamatory statements about Christianity and shows support for former federal Liberal party leader Michael Ignatieff.

Ghamari has publicly denied ownership of the social media profile — even going so far as to retain lawyers to send a letter asking Jay Tysick, a former candidate for the Carleton nomination, to retract statements to that effect in December.

The letter states the claims are untrue and harmful and have impacted their client’s “goodwill and reputation.”

Since his disqualification as a candidate in October, Tysick has taken aim at the party, calling out Ontario PC leader Patrick Brown for getting too involved in local nomination races in order to put in his preferred candidates.

MacLeod sent out a response to the leaked email on July 25.

“I don’t normally comment on private emails sent to a closed group of advisers and friends. But given a leak, I feel compelled to

address an email I sent on Tuesday, July 25,” the statement reads.

“Yesterday evening, a number of people forwarded me a video by the Rebel about the PC candidate in Carleton, Goldie Ghamari, and I was alarmed,” MacLeod wrote.

“I have since read her denial that she made the statements about Christianity, as attributed to her in the video, which initially caused me concern. I was pleased to see her denial that those comments were hers. I believe Ontario PCs have put forward a strong and diverse team of candidates in Eastern Ontario, and the rest of the province, and I look forward to serving with all of them under PC leader Patrick Brown’s leadership.” MacLeod went on to say she would offer no further comment on the issue.

The past few months have been a storm of conflict for Brown’s Conservatives, including alleged fraud during the May nomination of Ottawa West-Nepean Conservative candidate Karma Macgregor.

Jack MacLaren, MPP for Carleton-Mississippi Mills, was ousted for a video that surfaced

CANADA DAY CONTEST

Sponsored by Canadian Tire

in which he lamented French language rights. MacLaren subsequently joined the Trillium Party. Another conservative party, called the Ontario Alliance, has formed.

“People are concerned by Brown’s top-down, heavy-handed approach to leadership, and are worried he’s already losing the election with his Liberal-lite policies,” Elizabeth De Viel Castel, a spokesperson for the new provincial party, wrote in an email.

“They feel they have no choice, but to find a new party to vote for in the next election.”

Tysick, who has played a role in the formation of the party, said he’s not surprised by the infighting.

“Having knocked on a lot of doors during the nomination, and since, it was clear the people of Carleton were hopeful that after 14 years of bad Liberal policy, there was finally going to be real change coming. It was exciting,” Tysick said.

“But after the mess Brown made of that nomination and many others since, and his carbon copy of Liberal policies, they now just see another disaster coming.”

‘It’s getting worse’: Top four traffic killers still plaguing Ottawa

BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

The excuses continue to pile up in Ottawa, but so are the cars as drivers continue to shirk the rules of the road.

“I’ve got to go home and take the kid to hockey. I’ve got to get groceries. I worked an extra hour.

Blah. Blah. Blah. There’s construction,” said Ottawa police Const. Phil Kane. “I hear it all.

“I say that I give out free driving lessons, but no, it comes with a cost.”

Just five seconds into pulling out his laser speed-measuring device and aiming into the oncoming traffic, he motioned for a driver to pull over near TD Place

in the Glebe after being clocked at 79 km/h in the 40 zone on Bank Street.

Kane levied a $289 fine, plus demerit points, against the driver who had been heading to a job interview.

“She was doing almost double the speed limit,” said Kane, one of 32 officers working in dedicated traffic enforcement with the police department’s traffic services unit.

“Some people say well, it’s the hill,” he said of drivers heading north on Bank Street in the sloped approach to Lansdowne Erin McCracken/Metroland Park. “It’s still your responsibilOttawa police Const.

areas across the city that Kane and his traffic services partner Const. Jon Hall monitor for any number of infractions, including the top four killers on Ontario roads: speeding, distracted and impaired driving and not wearing a seatbelt.

“A. It’s reaction time, that’s a big thing. And B. Speed kills. A couple times I’ve been clipped by cars — standing on the curb,” Kane said. “They’re going by clipping me at 60. I have a little bit of a paint mark right here (on his gun holster), so I’ll show them.”

Speeding offers a valuable lesson in physics, since the faster the speed, the less time it takes for a car to stop.

A pedestrian hit by a vehicle travelling 30 km/h has a 90-percent survival rate, while at 45 km/h, the pedestrian’s chances of survival are just 50 per cent.

Those inside the car are also not immune to the laws of physics. Drivers and passengers travelling 80 km/h are 20 times more likely to die than those in a vehicle travelling 30 km/h.

“All it is is just common sense,” said Kane, who joined the Ottawa Police Service in 2009 and has worked in traffic enforcement the past two years.

The top speed he clocked in the Glebe was 93 km/h in the 40 zone.

Distracted driving on the rise Continued from page 4

That netted the driver a stuntdriving charge and the loss of his vehicle and driver’s licence for seven days.

“Some of these drivers have been stopped multiple times,” Kane said, adding that one driver was pulled over for speeding four times in two years at Limebank and Leitrim roads.

Another driver was caught on Hunt Club Road going 136 km/h in that 80 zone, and his mom’s car was impounded. Heron Road and Riverside Drive is another fast-paced stretch. Rural roads are also bad for more severe crashes with very high speeds playing a factor.

“People just don’t think,” said Kane.

One of the more disturbing trends is distracted driving, including cellphone use, which carries a $490 fine and three demerit points.

“About 85 to 90 per cent of the cars I pull over, their phone is on their lap, open and screen lit, music playing, Facebook, Google maps, whatever,” Kane said.

Erin McCracken/Metroland

Ottawa police Const. Phil Kane speaks with a motorist he clocked going 79 km/h in a 40 zone in the Glebe.

But unless he’s witnessed them on the phone, he can’t lay a charge.

He and Hall spotted a distracted driver at Woodroffe Avenue and Baseline Road and were about to pull him over when emergency sirens announced the approach of another police cruis-

er. It pulled up behind the cellphone-using driver, who didn’t move out of the way.

“The police officer had to drive onto the curb, onto the sidewalk,” said Kane, who watched as the driver glanced up from his phone and saw the officer navigate through the intersection.

He then went back to his phone without moving his vehicle.

“I step out in my yellows. I’m waving at the guy. I walk up to the door and knock on the window,” said Kane. “People are so inattentive. They have no idea what’s going on.”

It’s also an offence for a motorist to use a cellphone while stopped at a traffic light or sitting in traffic. Studies show it can take up to 30 seconds for a driver to re-engage with their surroundings after using their phone.

Kane has pulled over young drivers, still on their phone and asked them why, only to be told they were updating their Facebook page to say they’d been pulled over by police. In one case he stopped a young driver twice for distracted driving within minutes, resulting in almost $1,000 in fines and six demerit points.

“That’s the mentality. It’s getting worse,” he said. “Lots of times people are speeding and they’re on their phone. You could see people fly down the Queensway at 140 and we can pull up beside them and they’re on their phone.”

Last year, Ottawa police gave out 4,179 tickets for cellphonerelated distracted driving. So far this year, 1,798 tickets have been issued for that offence.

“We’re not even getting a fraction of the people using their phones. We can’t be everywhere,” Kane said.

He and his partner try to get their message out on Twitter under their handles @carbinekane and @TheBeardedCop. The City of Ottawa’s traffic team also has strategies to address problem areas, including changing the timing of some traffic lights to give pedestrians the right of way first for five to seven seconds before drivers get

their green light.

“Now the drivers are seeing pedestrians in the walkway,” Kane said.

But what will it take for drivers to change their habits before they learn a lesson the hard way?

“I’ll leave the section in five years. Someone else will come take my place and it’ll be the same thing,” said Kane. “Traffic has always been a problem. It’ll always be a problem, unless we have self-driving cars. But they sometimes crash too.

Education is key, yet many drivers are still not getting the message.

“Is it somebody losing someone close?” Kane said.

$8.8M provides infrastructure boost at six Ottawa hospitals

BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Deep under the Ottawa Hospital’s Civic campus, a hum fills the air and sloped hallways lead around pipe-filled corners. Doors dotted along either side open onto to a larger network of hall-

ways and rooms.

One hall leads to an electrical substation that distributes about 20 per cent of the power the west-end campus requires to function around the clock. At a neighbouring building, another maze winds its way to the hospital’s main electrical substation.

“This is the main engine to the hospital and so this year we have decided it’s time to replace it,” said Joanne Read, vice-president of planning and support services at the Ottawa Hospital. “My team refers to this like a car. You can change the engine in the car so many times but at one point the body just

ing and upgrading a transformer at the Élisabeth Bruyère hospital site in Vanier, for example.

“This is key to us because our building was built in different stages going back to the 1930s,” Levac said. “It’s much-needed funds. There’s always requirements for more.”

CHEO, located in the Riverview Park community, has a younger building, but ongoing upkeep and maintenance are needed.

“A 43-year-old hospital, you’d think — not that old,” said Bruce Squires, CHEO’s vice-president of people, strategies and performance.

Its $1.16-million share will be spent on another section of roof, medical gas systems, elevators and accessibility improvements. The hospital received about the same amount last year for infrastructure projects.

“For us there’s a long list of what this money will be used for — more than 11 projects,” Squires said. “No. 1, it’s about ensuring we can provide accessible care to patients, but No. 2, in a safe environment.

“We’ve come to count on it for sure,” he said of the funding. “It’s critical.”

Growing patient demand leads to wear and tear on the building, but also the need to change how space is used.

“Some of it is driven by volume, some of it is driven by age, some of it is driven by changing requirements as care changes,” he said.

FUNDING BREAKDOWN: • The Ottawa Hospital: $6,163,677 • CHEO/Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre: $1,165,136 • Bruyère Continuing Care: $551,757 • Montfort Hospital: $430,000 • Queensway-Carleton Hospital: $425,635 • uOttawa Heart Institute: $123,348

starts to wear out. We’ve been doing that with this substation for the last 50 years.

That replacement is being made possible due to a $6.16-million provincial injection. The Ottawa Hospital, CHEO, Bruyère Continuing Care, Montfort Hospital, Queensway-Carleton Hospital and the University of Ottawa Heart Institute will receive a total of $8.8 million this year from the province’s hospital infrastructure renewal fund, Ottawa South MPP John Fraser announced July 11.

The dollars will go toward new roofs, windows, backup generators, meeting building code standards, and upgrading heating, ventilation and air conditioning units.

“This work is very important and it’s all based on need,” said Fraser, parliamentary assistant to the minister of Health and Long Term Care.

Though a new Civic campus is in the works, upgrades to the existing site are still required.

“The new hospital’s doors won’t open for at least 10 years. That doesn’t mean that we neglect the current infrastructure,” said Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi, whose riding includes the Civic. “(The) Civic is almost 100 years old and we need to make sure that its infrastructure is up to good form and continues to provide that quality health care.”

Susan Sallaj Ginn, director of planning and facilities at the QueenswayCarleton Hospital in Nepean, said its $425,635 share will go toward a number of projects, including air-handling units, duct work and electrical distribution upgrades.

“It is patient care,” she said. “Sometimes facilities are noted as those behindthe-wall items and … it’s instrumental for what we do every day.”

OPINION

Connected to your community

An uncharitable idea

T

he Salvation Army does good work in this city, but that does not make the organization immune from making bad decisions.

The Salvation Army is seeking a zoning change to allow it to move a homeless shelter from the King Edward Avenue area to Vanier.

The request comes as a shock to the people who call Vanier home.

No community should have this sprung on them. If built, a shelter would likely draw inebriated or otherwise unwell people into a residential neighbourhood. That’s not an improvement – it’s a step backwards.

Yes, city council can allow a move, but there is nothing in the plan to suggest it will improve outcomes for the people in need.

Instead it will turn a neighbourhood upside down for the sake of optics. Getting the homeless out of view of the tourists in the ByWard Market seems to be the driving force behind the proposal, and one reason Mayor Jim Watson is backing it.

Getting people out of sight should not be the goal when spending money on

homelessness. Real homes and real help should be the only goal. All else is, in a word, uncharitable.

And will this be a case of out of sight, out of mind? Will Ottawans find it easier to ignore the fact that there are people in such need?

There is demand for the services offered by the Salvation Army.

That’s why we have zoning in this city – so development happens in a predictable way, and in a way that the neighbours have a say about their neighbourhood.

The site picked by the Salvation Army is not zoned for a shelter. It’s not a use any neighbour could foresee.

This is not just an issue for Vanier. No one is immune. If a surprise like this can be sprung on Vanier, every resident of Ottawa should know that other councillors could gang up on your neighbourhood and stick something unwanted on your street.

City councillors should put community before complicity and refuse the rezoning request.

The digitization of real estate

A

friend of mine recently travelled to British Columbia from Ontario to search for a house over a weekend. She spent a whopping amount of money on airline tickets, hotels and meals for what was anything but a vacation.

But perhaps she needn’t have bothered.

A new study from HSBC Global suggests that Canadians are starting to buy real estate the same way they’re purchasing groceries, clothing and household goods — on the internet.

According to HSBC, home-buying and the services that go along with it — legal services, Realtors and mortgage lending — are increasingly occurring online.

HSBC’s Beyond the Bricks: The Future of Home-buying is based on a

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse global survey of 9,000 individuals.

Canadians, as it turns out, are among the most active online real estate buyers. Ninety per cent of Canadians turn to the internet to search new properties — compared to the global average of 83 per cent. Three-quarters of Canadian homebuyers are using digital technology to research financing options.

“From online mortgage specialists to paperless mortgage renewals, technology is rapidly changing how we engage with and serve our customers in Canada and across the globe,” says

Larry Tomei, executive vice-president of retail banking and wealth management at HSBC Bank Canada. “This latest research suggests that the property industry is poised for technological disruption, significantly changing how home buyers approach each of the three key phases of home-buying: researching, financing and purchasing.”

This has enormous implications for Realtors. Indeed, more than a quarter of Canadian survey respondents (27 per cent) “say that dealing with the many people involved (real estate agents, lawyers, sellers and developers) was the biggest ‘pain point’ in the home-buying process,” reports HSBC. The study advises realtors and others on the periphery of real estate purchases to embrace technology or find themselves on the losing end.

That Canadians are turning to digi-

tal technology for home-buying may not come as a big surprise to some.

Canadians have a reputation for early adoption of digital technology. By 2019, it’s anticipated Canadians will spend $39 billion online annually, representing nearly 10 per cent of all consumer purchases.

Canadian companies are increasingly embracing the internet to sell goods beyond our borders, as well.

“Statistics Canada’s data (in their most recent data on the topic) reports that Canadian companies sold more than $136 billion in goods and services online in 2013, up from $122 billion a year earlier,” reports the Canadian Internet Registration Authority’s 2016 Factbook on e-commerce.

Petition calls for expedited widening of Bank St. through Findlay Creek

BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A petition has been launched calling for the expedited widening of Bank Street through Findlay Creek in a bid to relieve commuter traffic gridlock.

“Every month it has felt as though the traffic issues at Findlay Creek are getting worse,” said Jamie Janes, who recently began a change.org petition that attracted more than 300 signatures in its first week.

People have been complaining since at least 2012 “with no results,” said the Metcalfe resident. “It’s time for a little less conversation and a little more

action.”

Janes relies on Bank Street for her commute to her federal government job at St. Laurent Boulevard and Walkley Road, and said she is regularly caught in morning and afternoon commuter traffic between the intersection at Leitrim Road and Bank Street and the corner of Bank Street and Findlay Creek Drive.

“This is literally just three sets of lights that are causing all the problems,” she said of Leitrim Road, Rotary Way and White Alder Avenue along that stretch in the Leitrim and Findlay Creek area.

On a good day, after drop-

ping her eldest son off at school in Greely each morning, her commute takes 25 minutes.

But she said there are more bad days than good and the drive can stretch out to 45 to 60 minutes one way.

“It makes much more sense logistically to travel down Bank Street,” Janes said. “However, logistically it doesn’t make sense to do so based on the traffic at peak hours.”

Findlay Creek is home to 3,000 residences. More subdivisions have already been approved or are in the works on either side of Bank Street to the south of Findlay Creek Plaza.

Another is planned southwest

of Bank Street and Leitrim Road.

The community’s full buildout is estimated at 8,000 homes.

And that means more cars on already clogged roads.

“It’s mind-blowing,” said Janes.

Bruce Brayman, president of the Greely Community Association, said his group also

wants Bank Street widened and that he personally would sign a petition supporting this.

“I think it is badly needed,” he said of the widening.

Likewise, the Findlay Creek Community Association has long advocated for road improvements in and around the community to alleviate congestion caused by residential

Notice of Completion Kennedy-Burnett Stormwater Management Facility Class Environmental Assessment Project File and Functional Design Report Available for Review The City of Ottawa has completed a Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) and functional design for the proposed expansion and retrofit to the Kennedy-Burnett Stormwater Management Facility.

The project was identified as a preferred alternative in the South Nepean Urban Area Master Servicing and Environmental Study. The existing Kennedy-Burnett Stormwater Management Facility receives runoff from approximately 200 hectares of predominantly residential lands north of Strandherd Drive, along with a portion of commercial development in the Barrhaven Town Centre. The facility will be expanded and retrofitted to provide enhanced water quality treatment consistent with Ministry of Environment and Climate Change requirements for the existing serviced area as well as the proposed developments adjacent to the facility south of Strandherd Drive.

The preferred servicing option for the proposed development lands was also determined as part of this study. A portion of the development lands are to be treated by the expanded facility, while the remaining areas would outlet to the Fraser-Clarke Drain or the Jock River with water quality treatment provided predominantly by hydrodynamic separators. A small new stormwater management pond on the Minto Lands to the west of the existing facility is required to provide stormwater quantity and quality control to existing and future residential areas draining to the Fraser-Clarke Drain.

Consultation, in the form of technical advisory committee meetings and two public open houses were incorporated as part of the Class EA process and are documented in the Project File and Functional Design Report.

The Kennedy-Burnett Stormwater Management Facility Project File and Functional Design Report details the study process, findings and recommendations.

Father’s idea had Mary running for cover

M

other said Father was playing with fire, and as it turned out, he was.

It had to do with the constant annoyance of mosquitoes, which invaded us every summer. There was nothing we liked better at the end of a day, than to escape the heat of the house and move our kitchen chairs out in the backyard, and sit a spell as the night closed in around us.

Mother would play her mouth organ, and my sister Audrey would sing, and off in the distance we might hear the frogs. My brother Everett, who could whistle better than anyone in Northcote, when coached, would join Mother and Audrey.

If you weren’t sitting on a kitchen chair, you were on a blanket on the ground, and since I was scared in the dark, I would sit as close to Mother as possible.

We wouldn’t be out there more than a few minutes when one after the other of us would be swatting our arms and bare legs, hoping to connect with the horde of mosquitoes laying in wait for us. Soon Mother would say, “Enough of this, those blessed mosquitoes are eating us alive.”

MARY COOK Memories Then one night Father said he had an idea, and he vanished into the drive shed and lit the lantern. We had no idea what he was up to, but we could hear the hammer, and soon we could smell coal oil. We could faintly see his outline when he came out of the drive shed with the lantern in one hand and a long piece of wood wrapped at one end with piles of feed bags. And it reeked to high heaven of coal oil.

Father told us to put our chairs in a circle, and once we settled down, he took a match from his pocket, scraped it along the thigh of his overalls, and touched the match to the coal oil soaked bags on the end of the piece of wood. It sounded like a huge whoosh, like many people taking a big breath at the same time, and the whole thing burst into flames, and pieces of the feed bags flew everywhere. The fire lit up the

entire area, including the barnyard, and the coal oil which had dripped down the piece of wood, set it on fire too, and those sitting on the kitchen chairs knocked them over trying to get away from the flames which I was sure were going to burn down the entire farm, including the log house and barns!

Father dropped the flaming coal-oilsoaked mass and headed for the house right behind us. We didn’t need a lan-

about. Mother wasn’t so sure. He was right of course. It didn’t take long for the feed bags to burn down. As for sitting out on a summer evening, that was the end of that. The mosquitoes won the battle.

All that remained of Father’s idea was a half burnt stick of wood, a brown pile of burnt feed bags, and the smell of coal oil which lingered in the backyard for days. And just to remind us of

Father told us to put our chairs in a circle, and once we settled down, he took a match from his pocket ... tern to see our way. When we got inside, and Mother lit the lamp, we saw that Father’s straw hat was minus its front brim, and his face was blackened with soot. He went right to the wash basin on the bench at the back door.

Mother was determined that none of us should go to bed until the fire was out, but Father said it would burn itself out, and we had nothing to worry

Father’s attempt to rid us of the summer plague of mosquitoes was a circle of burnt grass right in the middle of the backyard.

Casino could build case for improved road network Continued from page 9

Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish said he is aware of the petition.

“It just reinforces what we’re trying to do and working on,” he said, referring to a deal now in the works to have area developers pay for the reconfiguration of the intersection of Bank Street and Leitrim Road. It also includes an engineering plan for Bank Street.

The price tag is estimated at almost $15 million.

Qaqish and Osgoode Coun.

George Darouze originally tried to work out a deal that would see developers pay for the widening of Bank Street through Findlay Creek. But that was scaled back to the redesign of the Leitrim crossroads.

The goal of the intersection overhaul is to improve northsouth traffic flow “and address the pinch point there,” Qaqish said, adding that more cars will be able to get through the intersection during peak times.

Area developers are expected to bring forward their draft frontend agreement to committee this fall, complete with the timeline and estimated cost, which they

Jamie Janes, of Metcalfe, has launched a change.org petition calling for the City of Ottawa to alleviate a trafficclogged bottleneck in Findlay Creek by expediting the widening of Bank Street. will pay for up front. The city will pay that back when it has the funds.

“I think we’d like to get it started next year,” Qaqish said of the intersection improvements.

Without this agreement, the intersection redesign would have been scheduled to coincide with the Bank Street widening, currently slated for 2026 within the transportation master plan.

If it hadn’t been for the de-

lays to the start of the Airport Parkway twinning, the Bank Street widening could have begun sometime between 2022 and 2024, Qaqish said.

There are also plans to redesign the intersection at Albion and Leitrim roads before 2021.

But Janes said waiting until 2026 for the widening “is just absolutely not OK,” and hopes her petition lends support to what area councillors and the Findlay

Creek Community Association have long called for.

“It’s not acceptable,” Côté said of the current date for the widening, especially since Findlay Creek is one of the two fastestgrowing communities in the Ottawa-Gatineau region.

The timelines for change need to be sped up, since any changes that happen now only play catch up with the current rate of growth, she said.

“We’re already running a couple steps behind,” said Côté. “We don’t want to fall further behind.

We’d like to see the timelines expedited and see the city actually take a hard look at the infrastructure projects for Ottawa South, and in particular Findlay Creek.”

But there is a chance, Qaqish said, “to take a closer look at the road infrastructure in the area” and prioritize road improvements with plans to transform the Rideau Carleton Raceway into the Hard Rock Casino Ottawa. It is being designed as an entertainment destination south of Findlay Creek on Albion Road.

Once that application is submitted to the city, Qaqish said, “that’s going to be an opportunity for us to really revisit those

timelines and say, ‘Look, if you’re going to put something that’s going to be a huge attraction for the south end, then we need to look at the road network and infrastructure there.’ That’s an opportunity for us to leverage that, as well.”

Meanwhile, frustration is mounting that development continues to be green-lighted without first addressing the need for road improvements in the area.

“They’re 100 per cent putting the cart before the horse,” said Janes.

“And the people that are suf-

fering are the residents of Findlay Creek, and the residents of Greely, Metcalfe, Osgoode — the entire Osgoode Ward — who’ve used Bank Street as a main artery to commute.”

Qaqish acknowledged the city’s development charge process works backwards.

“The homes have to be built in order for us to take the funds from the development charges to build them,” he said. “We’re doing the best we can.”

Janes hopes to collect 500 signatures and submit her petition to the city in September. The petition is at change.org/p/city-of-ottawawiden-bank-street-at-findlaycreek.

Friends of Alta Vista Park racing to fundraise

BY ERIN MCCRACKEN erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A long-awaited transformation of a park in the heart of Alta Vista is gaining friends and momentum.

A group known as the Friends of Alta Vista Park, which formed this spring, is now in crunch mode as it looks to raise $7,500 by the beginning of September to match a community partnership minor capital program grant secured from the city. That will help pay for a second play structure at the park for children, ages six to 12.

The deadline is necessary so the project can be rolled in with plans to tear down some of the current play pieces and construct a structure for younger children, ages 18 months to five years old – a project estimated at $127,000.

Missing the deadline would mean delaying construction of the second structure and boost the cost.

Alta Vista resident Lindsey Barr, who is part of the Friends group, has been advocating for the playground upgrade for the past six years. It’s taken that long for the park to move up on the waiting list.

The lifecycle upgrade will largely be completed by the end of next

Erin McCracken/Metroland

Lindsey Barr (left) and Ingrid de Vries, with Friends of Alta Vista Park, are fundraising for a play structure for older kids.

July, pending the outcome of tendering the contract, which is slated for January, and depending on weather during construction. The tear down of the current structures is expected to begin next spring.

“It’s our turn,” Barr said. “The park’s always been a bit sad because all of the play pieces are for the junior kids.

“What the city is putting forward is still for little kids. (But) it’s still going to be better than what we had before.”

So far, community fundraising efforts have generated about $1,200 for the older kids’ structure, which will feature a spider web, monkey bars and a sand play piece.

“I love seeing people outside doing things with their families and just enjoying what we have,” said Ingrid de Vries, who lives near the park, located on Randall Avenue beside Alta Vista Public School.

The park is a community hub with soccer fields, a wading pool, outdoor skating rink and a field house.

“We’re so lucky to have this green space,” said de Vries, who is part of the Friends group.

When Alta Vista Coun. Jean Cloutier’s office reached out to Barr this spring about the project, that led to two designs for the junior play structure, which the community voted on in June.

They chose an intricate replacement, complete with climbing features, a slide and decorative overhead leaves.

“A park like this enriches the life of the community,” said Cloutier.

“And gives a good, safe place for children to play and to socialize,

and for parents to socialize.

“It’s clear the Alta Vista Park does that for the community no matter what the season is,” he said.

The current structures, installed in the early 1990s, are largely designed with little kids in mind.

“The entire play area has reached its end of life and is in need of renewal as it has proven to be too costly to repair. In addition, the swing set is also in need of replacement,” Kevin Wherry, the city’s manager of parks and facilities planning, said in an email.

A fundraising campaign has been launched at goo.gl/oLGtKU. “If everyone gives an average of $100, we only need 75 families and we’re done,” said Barr. “Seventyfive families is like three streets in the neighbourhood.”

For more details, visit facebook. com/FriendsofAltaVistaPark.

A LOOK AHEAD:

• A fundraising barbecue takes place at the Alta Vista Community Association’s outdoor movie night on August 18 at 8 p.m. at the park.

The rain date is August 19.

Traffic & Parking By-law Survey The Traffic Services department is reviewing the City’s general and unsigned on-street parking regulations that permits parking for a maximum of three consecutive hours, from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on weekends and holidays. Residents are encouraged to take part in an online survey to provide input on staff’s proposal to change the general on-street parking regulations to allow parking for six consecutive hours instead of three hours between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. on weekends and holidays. The survey is now available on the City’s website until August 22, 2017. A phone number, 613-842-3622, will be temporarily set-up as an alternative to provide feedback. There is also a temporary group email address (parkingrule/reglementdestationnement@ottawa.ca) available to answer any questions you may have regarding this survey and the proposed change.

Wheelchair nationals to begin

BY MICHELLER NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com

Fast-paced, competitive highlevel hockey in power wheelchairs is coming to Carleton University’s Raven’s Nest.

The Ottawa Power Wheelchair Hockey League hosts the 2017 Canadian Electric Wheelchair Hockey Association Nationals Aug. 4 to7.

An estimated100 para-athletes from across Canada will be participating in the round robin hockey tournament, according to the Ottawa league, which formed in 2009, and operates out of the Greenboro Community Centre.

It has grown to four teams, with families driving in from as far as Kingston for the opportunity to play.

The local teams — the Gators, Bears, Wolves and Sharks — feature players who use power wheelchairs and have limited or no upper-body strength and have limited or no mobility. According to the league’s website, players have different disabilities.

The league is a coed, all-ages format, with the youngest player only seven years old. The hockey is competitive, and fast-paced.

Gators team member Moses Yorke moves the ball up the court with Sharks player Austin Merkley hot on his tail. The Ottawa Power Wheelchair Hockey League hosts the 2017 Canadian Electric Wheelchair Hockey Association Nationals this August long weekend.

Every team member gets the chance to play.

Kelli Tonner, a volunteer with the league and co-chair of the

Bianka (ID# A201208)

national tournament, encourages Ottawa residents to come out and watch the tournament, and said it’s a great opportunity to learn and understand about the capabilities of people with disabilities.

“This tournament is a great demonstration of Canada’s inclusion, diversity and love of hockey,” Tonner added. “There are rivalries among the teams and players and it promises to be fun, interesting and a new experience.”

In addition, the league will be hosting an exhibition series that provides an opportunity for younger, up-and-coming players to experience a competitive tournament.

Two teams will be arriving by plane and the league has organized wheelchair-accessible bus transportation to and from the airport. In addition, the league needs to rent medical equipment for the players to stay in residence at Carleton University. The cost of equipment and transportation is about $5,000 that the league is covering with help from a raffle and auction.

Event details are available at 2017Nationals.cewha.ca, and at opwhl.com.

Bianka is a friendly rabbit who’s looking for a new family that will take lots of time to play with her every day. She’s an active girl who’d like lots of time outside of her cage to stretch her legs.

Rabbits like Bianka are social and intelligent animals that make great pets. Are you the one Harriet has been waiting for?

to talk about preplanning Someday may never come.

Someday is not on the calendar.

When thinking of the Ottawa Humane Society, most people will say that visions of cats, kittens, puppies and dogs come to mind. But what if you are looking to add a small animal to your family? Where would you go?

Most often thought of as starter pets, small animals actually require the same level of commitment, enrichment, interaction and vet care as their feline and canine counterparts. Many small animals can also be trained to learn tricks, use a litter box and walk on a leash, among other things.

Is a Small Animal the Pet for You?

Well, look no further than those you trust to help you find your feline and canine companions. What most people don’t realize is that the OHS always has a large variety of small animals that can include budgies, finches, cockatiels, lovebirds, doves, parrotlets, gerbils, mice, hamsters, degus, chinchillas, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits and more.

Meet Bianka (ID# A201208), a sweet bunny looking to hop into her forever home.

Are you waiting for

What they lack in size, they more than make up for in love and companionship and you will quickly find yourself under their spell as you play with them and discover their personalities.

If you have been hoping to add a little bundle of love to your family, come by the Adoption Centre to meet a wide variety of small animals and find that perfect match for your family.

It is time to make someday happen and contact Beechwood Cemetery about preplanning today.

For more information on Marvin 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.

Trying to maintain my alpha status with the dog

T

YOUR CAREER

STARTS HERE

he Farmer has surpassed me as the alpha in this pack. How did it happen? I am the one who gets up in the wee hours of the morning to let the Ferg out for his morning constitutional. I am the one who feeds, bathes and plays with the dog. It is me who …. wait a minute.

I’ve been trained by a puppy. He has me scheduled and ordered me to do his bidding with a simple whine. The Farmer doesn’t respond to such prompts. He is deaf in one ear.

I’m not sure exactly when it happened but at some point the Farmer managed to usurp the title of Leader of the Pack.

Fergus has decided that his word trumps mine, every time.

“Bed time, Fergus.” Dog looks at man. Ignores woman. “Get off that couch, Fergus.” Dog just rolls his eyes at me. The Farmer shows up at the door and dog bolts off of couch and onto

DIANA FISHER The Accidental Farmwife

floor, begins innocently licking his paw as if he were there all along.

I have read Fifteen Dogs by Andre Alexis. I know how this works. Mama’s got to get her alpha groove back.

Dog trainers say you have to exert your authority and maintain it from the beginning. I thought I did all the right things but I must have slipped up at some point. I decided to do some research.

Dog experts on the internet say you must first train a pup to sit, come and stay. You can use dog treats to reinforce this. You have to teach them their name and to follow alongside you on a leash.

You’re not supposed to let the dog run ahead and pull you on a walk. Hmm. Clearly we have some retraining to do.

Even when walking through a doorway in a house you are supposed to make the dog come back and follow you. He is not supposed to lead in any circumstances. Humans first in all cases. And if he jumps up from excitement when you come home, you are supposed to ignore his bad behaviour until he is calm. You aren’t supposed to yell at him to get down. That one is going to be the most difficult to teach, I think. Mostly because it drives me nuts when he jumps up on me.

At least we have managed to keep Fergus off our bed. He tries, but has yet to succeed in launching himself up onto the bed when we are lounging. I realize I have only a short window of opportunity to reclaim my alpha status and get him trained to stay off any of our special furniture before he is suddenly big enough to get up there. If we aren’t careful, we could wake up to realize one day that we have lost one-third of our king-sized bed to a large, hairy mutt. I have heard stories from other dog owners about slobber on their pillow and sleep interrupted by canine snoring. I have enough trouble getting a good night’s sleep. I’m going to avoid this catastrophe at all costs.

Fergus, a Golden Retriever, is very smart. So at least we have that going for us. I swear he has already learned that scratching on the door is neither allowed nor necessary. He literally knocks on the door once to be let back into the house.

From the inside, he just sits at the door quietly until we notice and let him out. If we are distracted, he whines. I might have even suggested he use his voice once or twice when he tried to scratch the door. In some way, he understands me. The other thing we are learning about Goldens is they really like to be in the same room with their people. We barricade him from the room where we are eating or cooking, but he sits just outside the gate. When allowed in, it’s the people he wants to see, more than the food. It’s a good thing I ‘gave up’ on my vegetable garden because I clearly need to spend more time training the dog. Obviously I don’t have time to weed the onions and bat the beetles off the potatoes.

Trump tweets highlight need for pride events: Mayor

BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com

The same day U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted about banning transgender individuals from serving in the military, Ottawa Capital Pride announced its Pride Week lineup.

At the announcement, Mayor Jim Watson said it’s actions like Trump’s that are a reminder of

why the city needs a pride festival and parade.

“We see an action like Donald Trump’s, who has banned trans people from joining the army of the United States, and that’s exactly why we need to continue to have pride festivals and pride parades and let people know the struggle continues in many parts of the world and even in our own city,” he said.

“It really is an opportunity to celebrate diversity and inclusiveness in our community, in our society and right here in our own neighbourhood.”

Pride Week begins Aug. 21 with a flag raising at city hall and finishes on Aug. 27. The theme for Capital Pride 2017 is ‘Just Be.’ “Just Be acknowledges the path to true identity and self expression, both as an individual

Zoning By-law Amendment for properties affected by the May 2017 flooding In accordance with the Planning Act, notice is hereby provided that a zoning by-law amendment proposal is being considered by the Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development Department at the City of Ottawa.

Public meetings The public meetings to consider this zoning proposal are as follows: • Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee, Thursday September 7, 10 a.m., The Chamber, Ben Franklin Place, 101 Centrepointe Drive • Planning Committee Tuesday September 12, 9:30 a.m., Champlain Room, Ottawa City Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue West Lands subject to the proposal The zoning amendment proposal affects lands in the vicinity of watercourses that were impacted by flooding, as described below. Additional locations may be added as identified through this zoning by-law amendment process.

Purpose and effect of the proposed amendment The proposed amendment will relieve property owners of the need for minor variances if they are repairing or reconstructing buildings and structures damaged by the flooding that occurred in May 2017. The amendments will avoid the need for minor variances associated with rebuilding in a less flood-prone location on a lot, or as a result of small increases in building height to accommodate flood-proofing measures.

Urban Area Locations (to be considered by Planning Committee): properties along Grandview Drive, Britannia Beach area, Trim Road (Petrie Island).

Rural Area Locations (to be considered by Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee): properties along Loggers Way, Moorhead Drive, MacLarens Side Road, Northwoods Drive, Constance Bay area, Armitage Avenue, Leo Lane, Du Boise Lane, Armstrong Road and Morin Road.

Further information To view the proposal or any information or materials related to the proposal, please contact the undersigned planner. Maps showing the affected lands are available by contacting the undersigned.

Submission requirements To provide comments or for information about preserving your appeal rights, please contact the undersigned planner.

Dated at the City of Ottawa this August 3, 2017.

Carol Ruddy, Planner Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development Department City of Ottawa 110 Laurier Avenue West, 4th Floor, Ottawa, ON K1P 1J1 Telephone: 613-580-2424, ext. 28457 Fax : 613-580-2459 • Email: carol.ruddy@ottawa.ca 18 Ottawa South News - Thursday, August 3, 2017

journey as well as the one we share with our community,” said Ottawa Capital Pride board chair Tammy Dopson.

“By allowing us to be ourselves, we make way for greater acceptance, understanding and celebration of our differences.

We look forward to you joining us for the 2017 festival and helping to create a place where we can all Just Be.’” That theme doesn’t conflict with the “respectful request” that Ottawa’s police officers leave their uniforms at home if walking in the pride parade this year, Dopson said after the preview event.

On June 30, the festival organizers released a statement saying at the request of their LGBTQ youth, uniformed police officers would not be welcome to attend Capital Pride activities while off duty.

On July 5, Police Chief Charles Bordeleau tweeted that his plan was to march in the parade in uniform, with fellow officers.

“Our request was pretty openended to begin with,” Dopson said. “We didn’t ban, we didn’t exclude — these are not part of our vernacular. We made a respectful request about what mes-

Tammy Dopson, chair of Capital Pride, highlights Pride Week events during a media preview on July 26 in Centretown. saging they wanted to put out into the community, and we felt the strongest message they could send was with respect to setting aside the uniform.”

This year’s event lineup focuses on diversity, inclusiveness and

local talent.

“Music and art are both powerful mediums for sharing experiences, storytelling and connecting with one another, and our festival is truly a platform for the LGBTQ community to have their voices heard and to share their stories,” said festival producer Mike Connors. “That’s why it’s so important that our programming is diverse and a true reflection of the community.”

After the pride parade on Aug. 27, musical acts will take to the stage on Bank Street. This year, there are more than 30 community events happening across Ottawa during Pride Week.

Connors also highlighted events such as the new Shine Your Light Youth Dance on Aug. 23 and the ALT Queer Art and Fashion Swap, happening at Arts Court on Aug. 21.

“We are expecting it to be Black Friday-level shopping madness,” he said.

The parade, a highlight of the week, takes place in downtown Ottawa on Aug. 27 at 1:30 p.m.

“We’ve seen an increase in entries over 2016 and I kind of have a feeling this will be the biggest pride parade Ottawa has seen yet,” Connors said.

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!
