Ottawa firefighters helped three people, including a mother and her young daughter, after the doors to the elevator they were in at the Alta Vista library branch would not open on May 27. No one was injured in the incident.

Firefighters rescue library patrons from elevator Erin McCracken

through it while another staff member went and called 911 and notified our facilities team.� A firefighter with elevator expertise arrived with crews from a nearby station. “Our first crew, what they did was they disconnected the power ... because of the burning smell, in case it was because of the (elevator’s) motor,� Messier said. The occupants of the elevator were freed by 10:44 a.m., and no one was injured during the incident. The problem with the elevator was determined to be either mechanical or electrical failure, said Messier, adding that the cause of the smell was a burnt rubber hose on the exterior elevator door. “Apparently, the elevator company arrived and it’s been fixed, so it’s been working since,� Basile said. The elevator was installed at the library branch in the fall of 2013, as part of a lifecycle replacement, she said.

News - Three people, including a mother and her little girl, were rescued by city firefighters from a malfunctioning elevator at the Alta Vista branch of the Ottawa Public Library on May 27. Fire crews were called to 2516 Alta Vista Dr. off Heron Road, at 10:30 a.m., after receiving reports of “a strange, burning rubber smell� in the vicinity of the elevator in which the trio had become trapped, said Capt. Marc Messier, Ottawa fire spokesman. The doors didn’t open once the elevator stopped at the main floor of the branch, after carrying the passengers up from the children’s section in the lower level, confirmed Anna Basile, manager of planning and board support for the Ottawa Public Library. “Staff members stayed at the elevator speaking with the people in there to make sure that they were informed,� she said. “We were talking to them

PC enthusiasts combine passion for tech and giving back Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - Jeff Dubois’s voice radiates crystal clear over the telephone. But, given his passion for computer technology, which began in the late 1980s, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that he doesn’t use a regular telephone landline to make a call.

In a recent telephone interview with the Ottawa South News, he piped his voice over the Internet, by way of voice-over Internet protocol or VOIP. “I have not paid a telephone bill in about seven years, relying instead on free VOIP alternatives,� said Dubois, who sits on the board of directors for the non-profit Ottawa PC Users’ Group.

“It’s more than just a bunch of people with plastic pocket protectors and Band-aids on their glasses sitting about talking about transfer rates and gigabytes.� JEFF DUBOIS

Dubois’ passion for technology is shared by other group members, and for that reason they enjoy learning from one another and other

high-tech experts during the organization’s monthly meetings, which feature a diverse array of guest speakers. Their presentations at the

Canada Science and Technology Museum are free of charge for the public and run the gamut on topics, from ebook technology to 3D printing to video editing. Given the constantly evolving nature of technology, there is never a shortage of high-tech topics to choose from, said Dubois. “It changes so rapidly and it is so vast and all-encom-

passing that no, that is never an issue,� he said. But as passionate as members of the Ottawa PC Users’ Group are about discussing desktop computers and a diverse array of computer-related applications, issues and news, they also enjoy giving back to the community. See GROUP, page 5

Group to hold e-waste collection event Continued from page3

“It’s more than just a bunch of people with plastic pocket protectors and Band-aids on their glasses sitting about talking about transfer rates and gigabytes,� said Dubois. In addition to their December silent auction of donated technology, which last year raised funds for the Ottawa Food Bank, the group will host its second-annual e-waste collection event at the museum prior to the start of its June 11 meeting. The public is welcome to drop off unwanted electronics, including desktop and portable computers, monitors, televisions, keyboards, hard drives, printers, photocopies and typewriters, telephones, radios and

speakers, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Everyone is invited to stay for the group’s meeting from 7:30 to 9 p.m. in the museum’s auditorium, followed by smaller discussions until 10 p.m. The PC organization, which dates back to 1982, boasts around 150 members, most them from the Ottawa area, and they range in age from their early 30s to early 70s. “We have people who work in high tech and we have people who attend who have very limited knowledge, which is why they attend,� said Dubois, an Alta Vista resident and retired aerial and underwater photographer. Members aren’t satisfied with keeping their high-tech knowledge to themselves. In fact, their motto is ‘users help-

ing users.’ For this reason, they present between 60 and 80 free weekly public educational workshops at Ottawa Public Library branches across the city, on topics ranging from social media and digital photography to the Linux open-source operating system and securing home networks. BIG FANS

Despite what Dubois calls “gloomsday� predictions of the demise of the desktop computer, he and other group members remain loyal fans of this device. “When you look at things like tablets and smartphones, they’ll never replace the desktop, at least not in the immedi-

ate future, because they lack an effective input device (such as a keyboard),� said Dubois, who owns five desktops as well as a tablet, and several other devices, and operates his own email server. “I always joke ... that (tablets are) wonderful devices, but you wouldn’t want to write War and Peace on one,� he said with a laugh. “Can you imagine trying to type large amounts of data into an on-screen keyboard?� The group’s outdoor e-waste drop-off zone on June 11 will be under a tent to the left of the entrance of the Canada Science and Technology Museum, located at 1867 St. Laurent Blvd. To learn more about the Ottawa PC Users’ Group, please visit opcug.ca.

Protect Yourself and Prevent the Bite! Warm weather has arrived and outdoor adventure has begun. Ottawa Public Health (OPH) is reminding residents and visitors to be cautious of unwanted company who may latch on for a free ride – ticks. Ticks vary in size and colour depending on their age and feeding status. While Ontario is home to a numb e r of different species of ticks, it’s the black-legged tick (Ixodes scapularis; also called the deer tick) that we have to worry about as it can carry or spread the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi that causes Lyme Disease (LD). Though not all black-legged ticks are infected with Borrelia burgdorferi, those that are infected must be attached to their human host for a minimum of 24 hours for the bacteria to be transferred into the human blood stream hence the importance of catching it early. Symptoms of LD usually begin three days to one month after being bitten by an infected tick. Individuals that acquire LD often develop a round, red rash that slowly expands away from the tick bite resembling a “bull’s eye” pattern. Other flu-like symptoms include – fever, chills, fatigue, headache, muscle and joint pain. If left untreated, LD can cause neurological symptoms, rheumatologic symptoms or cardiac abnormalities weeks to years after onset. As a result, residents are encouraged to see their doctor if they think they might have contracted LD. Ticks hide in tall grasses or shrubs and crawl onto human or animal hosts when given the opportunity. Humans, dogs, birds and deer populations are all ideal hosts for ticks.

As well, help make your environment less favourable to ticks: • Keep the grass in your yard mowed; • Remove brush and fallen leaves from the edges of property, especially if your yard borders a wooded area or fields of tall grass; • Reduce the attraction of small critters such as mice and voles by cleaning up areas under and around bird feeders; • Discourage deer from entering your yard, as ticks also feed on these animals; • Place children’s play structures away from wooded areas. By following these simple tips, you can better enjoy outdoor adventures with your family and friends. In the event a tick bites you, follow these steps to effectively remove it: 1. Using tweezers, grasp the ticks head as close to the skin as possible and pull slowly until the tick is removed. Do not twist, squeeze or rotate the tick. Do not use a match, lotion or anything else on the tick. 2. Place the tick in an empty pill vial or zip-lock bag with a moistened paper towel. 3. Wash your bite site with soap and water.

To avoid tick bites, take these easy steps to protect yourself and your family:

If you have a “tick key”, you can:

• Apply an approved insect repellent containing DEET to exposed skin and clothing;

2. Slide the tick into the specially tapered slot.

• Wear long pants, a long sleeved shirt, shoes and socks to avoid exposed skin; • Tuck pants into socks; • Wear light coloured clothing; • Stay to trails and avoid walking in the long grass; • Check yourself, children and pets for ticks, pay special attention to the scalp, groin, armpits, and behind the knees.

1. Place the key over the tick in the tear-drop hole.

3. Pull the key away from the skin. The tick should come out easily. Disinfect your tick key after each use. Ticks that have bitten humans may be submitted for testing to OPH, by appointment. As this is a surveillance and identification program only, results may not be available for a number of months. Your physician conducts all clinical case management relating to your tick exposure. For more information or questions regarding tick submissions and Lyme disease, please visit ottawa.ca/LymeDisease or contact Ottawa Public Health at 613-580-6744 (TTY: 613-580-9656).

Explore Ottawa’s cultural diversity

T

he city is offering a wonderful opportunity for residents to explore Ottawa’s cultural diversity and rich heritage this weekend. Since 2002, more than 700,000 visitors have taken advantage of Doors Open Ottawa, a free annual event that provides insider access to buildings such the Embassy of the Republic of Armenia, the Royal Canadian Mint and the Ottawa Police Service building. The event will unlock the doors of normally offlimit buildings such as ambassador’s homes and the Britannia Water Purification Plant. This year’s tour, on June 7 and 8, will feature more than 120 buildings. The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario will participate in the event as part of its 40th birthday celebration. Residents are invited to take a behindthe-scenes look at the hospital’s “cutting-edge� research and visit labs, surgical suites, a butterfly garden as well as a chance to check out its famous Karsh portraits. Visitors can select from a variety of modes of transportation: walking, driving, cycling – Doors Open Ottawa will provide a free shuttle bus, which will offer stops within walking distance of 50

buildings on the tour. For some residents, the day will present an opportunity to learn about other cultures or religions by visiting buildings such as Blessed Sacrament Church, located on 194 Fourth Ave., the Greek Orthodox Church,1315 Prince of Wales Dr., the Hindu Temple of Ottawa-Carleton Inc., 4835 Bank St. The Ottawa Main Mosque, 251 Northwestern Ave., or the Protection of the Holy Virgin Russian Orthodox Church, 99 Stonehurst Ave. Mayor Jim Watson hit the nail on the head when he referred to the tour as an opportunity to experience first-hand some of Ottawa’s architectural treasures. Organizers say this year’s buildings are an “eclectic mix of modern and heritage architecture,� including churches, mosques, government buildings together with artist studios and private businesses. Some examples include the Arts Court, 2 Daly Ave., the Mercury Court Building, 377 Dalhousie St., the C.D. Howe Building , 235 Queen St., the Carleton Masonic Lodge, 3704 Carp Rd., or the First Baptist Church, 140 Laurier Ave. West. We should never take our history and culture for granted.

Life turning into a series of beeps

M

y friend and I bumped into each other at the gym and were discussing what it needed. There was the usual list of complaints, despite the fact that it is a very nice gym. Then he said something that struck me. “We need to get rid of the beeps,� he said. From that moment, I began hearing beeps that I’d never heard before. This gym, like other gyms has machines that beep. They beep when you change settings. Because they are spiffy new machines — treadmills, bicycles, ellipticals and the like — there are lots of settings to change. You can change the speed, the incline, the degree of difficulty, the type of readout. You can turn the TV on and off and change the channels. If you increase to six miles per hour from one mile per hour, the machine will beep for every 10th of a mile. They aren’t that loud. If you never think about beeps, they probably don’t annoy you. Once you start thinking about them, they do. Sorry to make you think about them. We are so used to beeps in our lives that we may have forgotten to ask why they are there. What favour is the machine doing for us when it beeps?

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town Well, it’s telling us that we pushed a button. The bank machine tells us we pushed a button. Some car keys beep when we push a button. (Others honk – even worse.) Gas pumps beep when we select a grade of gasoline. Phones beep when we press a number. Maybe we need to be informed that we pushed a button. That’s because, in another triumph of modern design, buttons have been made so that they don’t click down when we push them. But we shouldn’t need that favour, should we, because machines have a visual display that tells us we pushed a button. In the gym, you know without a beep that you just increased your speed.

mill company to make the beeps go away, so it was unlikely to happen. That’s no surprise. Even when we have the power to make the beeps go away, we rarely take advantage of them. We seem to want a noise that tells us when there’s email, even though we can see the icon on the screen. It’s easy to stop your car from honking when you lock it, but most people don’t bother, which is yet another reason why shopping centre parking lots are among the least pleasant places on the planet. The sad fact, really sad to my friend, is that we have become a beep-addicted society. The number of devices that beep grows every day and our efforts to control them are laughably ineffective. There is no will to do it. It’s no surprise, is it, that the federal government is giving in to those who demand that their electronic devices be available to them at every possible second on airplanes. Transport Minister Lisa Raitt announced last week that passengers will be able to use their portable electronic devices during takeoff, ascent, descent and landing flights, as long as the devices are in non-transmitting, or flight, mode. “If you think about it,� she said, “here you are trying to finish a memo, or you’re

Nurturing your personal network

I

apologize for the brevity of this column, but I have to leave town suddenly for a funeral. We knew the day was coming, but we didn’t know when. Funerals have a funny way of catching you offguard, even when you think you’re prepared. It’s not easy to cancel an entire week of one’s life, but that’s often what has to be done. So far, I’ve cancelled specialist doctor’s appointments, a final group music lesson, a surprise going-away party I was meant to be hosting and most of my scheduled work for the next month. There’s no way to book a discounted flight in advance, so the next step is generally sorting out overpriced travel

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse and accommodation. I got lucky with a rental car deal and a relative who was happy to let me crash in the spare room. Then there’s childcare and work schedules. Oh, and work. For all the flexibility of a freelance career, it’s really not flexible at all. The main problem? I’m irreplaceable. I don’t mean that in a pretentious way. In fact, it’s a negative thing. If I need to pick up

and leave for any reason at all, there is no one who can just pick up the pieces of my work and take over. I have no team. I remember hearing a story several years ago about a freelance newspaper editor who put together a weekly in the late ’80s. She went into early labour with her first child. It was the evening before the paper was due to go into production. On her way

to the hospital, she stopped by the office, copyedited every single item, laid out the copy and then called an ambulance. Some may see this as admirable. I see it as crazy. We live in a society where independence is celebrated and seemingly desired. Fewer people marry; more people live alone; in our hearts we fancy independent home ownership over cooperatives and individual patents over team wins. But in so many ways, we need each other. And we need to offer ourselves to others whenever possible. I heard a great sermon a few weeks ago, which reminded me that we are all part of a carefully crafted

mosaic. Often we never realize the impact our small or big actions will have on another person. Sometimes, it’s only many years later that we come to understand a simple phone call or a gift has changed another’s life profoundly. As I check and doublecheck my still half-empty suitcase for tomorrow’s journey – do I have shoes, shirts and jewellery that coordinate? – the more profound understanding is that, it’s at times like this I realize the importance of having a network of friends and family: People who are willing to provide extra meals and ad hoc childcare while mom’s out of town; those who can take on an editing project for me at

the last minute; the ones that offer to pick up groceries or take the kids to their soccer games. Nurturing these relationships and being available to others is a priority for me in my life. People need people and we all have something amazing to offer. (I tend to make soup). It’s through the depths of our generosity that we nurture deeper relationships. The deeper the relationships, the more likely we are to have someone to turn to in our own time of need. Not only that, but our simple actions may even alter the course of someone’s life forever – we just never know.

News - Nearly 130 of Ottawa’s most impressive and intriguing places will soon throw open their doors for free to the general public. Since the architectural and heritage event’s launch in 2002, Doors Open Ottawa has given more than 700,000 people a generous sneak peak at some of the city’s more culturally, historically and functionally sig-

nificant buildings. “They love it,” said David Jeanes, a member of the Doors Open Ottawa advisory council, and vice-president of Heritage Ottawa. “Most people go because they’ve seen a building, they’ve seen the outside and they wonder what it’s like inside, or they wonder what happens (inside).” The event, which takes place June 7 and 8, is organized by the City of Ottawa, which, in turn, relies on a bevy of volunteers.

Last year, more than 140 people donated their time to ensuring visitors enjoyed dropping by the venues. In addition to opening the doors of several landmark buildings throughout the city, from embassies and artists’ studios to businesses, places of worship, museums and government buildings, several locations in south Ottawa are taking part again this year.

These include the Transportation Safety Board’s engineering lab, Ottawa Paramedic Service headquarters, the Canada Science and Technology Museum, the TV Rogers French-language station, the Ottawa Food Bank and Billings Estate National Historic Site. The list continues with the Canadian Conservation Institute, the Hindu Temple of Ottawa-Carleton,

Ottawa Rotary House, Sri Aathya Sai Spiritual Centre of Ottawa-Carleton, the Gloucester Historical Society and the Leitrim complex of the Gloucester Artifact Collection, as well as Saint James Anglican Church of Leitrim. The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario will participate for the first time. “It’s their 40th anniversary and so they’ve opened up to really have a celebration,� said Jeanes.

The Waupoos Family Farm, at 2050 Rideau Rd., has also been added to the lineup. “That’s going to be really interesting because how often do people actually get to go and look at a working farm, and particularly one like this, which has quite a history with the Oblate fathers and now has a social role in terms of offering vacations to needy families,� Jeanes said. A free Doors Open Ottawa shuttle bus will be

available within walking distance of almost 50 participating venues. In addition, Ottawa Cycling Tour will host a cycling tour of embassies on June 7, beginning at 9:30 a.m. For details, including pricing, visit ottawacyclingtours.com or email info@ottawacyclingtours. com.

O Canada Master Cpl. Tammy Shaw of the Governor General’s Foot Guards performs the national anthem to kick off the May 28 city council meeting. Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Steve Desroches invited Shaw as a continuation of his recognition of the foot guards, which was highlighted by the recent renaming of a park in Desroches’s ward as Food Guards Park. Shaw has been a member of the foot guards for nine years and a reservist in the Canadian Forces for 14 years.

Hydro Ottawa will provide a rare glimpse inside Canada’s oldest operating run-ofthe-river hydroelectric generating station on June 7th and 8th. Last year, more than 1,400 people toured Hydro Ottawa’s hydroelectric Generating Station No. 2 at Chaudière Falls as part of Doors Open Ottawa. Brought to the community by the City of Ottawa, Doors Open Ottawa is city’s largest heritage and architectural event, giving visitors the opportunity to explore the inside of some of Ottawa’s most prestigious buildings and facilities.

HELP US TAKE A STAND

AGAINST CANCER!

“Chaudière Falls is in the heart of Canada’s National Capital and has great historical significance,” said Bryce Conrad, President and CEO of Hydro Ottawa. “It fueled the industrial explosion of the mid 1800s by providing the water power for the vast complex of lumber mills that generated electricity that drove railroads and factories in the area after 1885.”

Join the O awa Regional Cancer Founda on for the 2nd annual Great Canadian Lemonade Standemonium and help us put the SQUEEZE on cancer.

Hydro Ottawa owns and operates six run-of-the-river hydroelectric facilities, located along the Ottawa River adjacent to Chaudière Falls, the birth place of Ottawa’s rich logging history. Less than 1.5 kilometres away from Parliament Hill in Ottawa’s downtown core, these facilities produce more than 270,000 megawatt hours of power each year, making Hydro Ottawa the largest municipallyowned producer of green power in eastern Ontario. Generating Station No. 2, commissioned by E.H. Bronson in 1891 during the lumber boom, is a heritagedesignated building and Canada’s oldest surviving hydroelectric facility still in operation.

REGISTER YOUR STAND TODAY! o awacancer.ca/lemonade.aspx

During the two-day event, visitors will get the chance to explore the historicallysignificant facility between 10 am to 4 pm, learn about electricity safety and conservation from on-site experts, and inspect the company’s electric-powered Chevy Volt. There will be an on-site BBQ and bucket truck rides in support of Hydro Ottawa’s United Way campaign.

CHEO launches superhero app ahead of telethon News - Becoming a superhero is just an app away. The May 30 launch of the web application allows you to become a virtual superhero in keeping with the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario Foundation’s Be a SuperHERO for CHEO campaign this, and raise funds for patient care at the same time. Users of the Supe-Yourself app, designed by Ottawa-based company Soshal, can name, design and customize a superhero avatar modeled on themselves. These images can be shared

on Facebook or tweeted with the hashtag #hero4cheo. For every person who creates a superhero avatar, an anonymous donor, whom the foundation says is a crusader, will contribute $10 to the CHEO Telethon, which airs on CTV on June 7 and 8. “We’re so excited that this CHEO Foundation friend, who wishes to remain anonymous, has stepped up to support this innovative campaign,” Jacqueline Belsito, foundation vice-president of philanthropy and community engagement, said in a statement.

“Big or small, everyone has some sort of superhero within them, and our crusader’s support of the SupeYourself app means that everyone can bring out their super powers while helping the kids at CHEO.” The foundation has issued a challenge for the creation of 1,000 virtual superheroes, to help raise $10,000 for the fundraiser. The Supe-Yourself app is available at hero4cheo.com. For more details about the application and the telethon, please visit cheofoundation. com.

Holy city council, Batman! Two pint-sized super heroes – Curtis (Captain America) and Evan (Batman) Corrigan – were on hand with Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario CEO Alex Munter at city council’s May 28 meeting to promote CHEO’s 2014 fundraising telethon theme: ‘Be a SuperHERO for CHEO.’ Mayor Jim Watson declared June 6 as CHEO Superhero Day in Ottawa. The telethon will take place June 7 and 8. The group was joined by a special appearance of ‘Batman’ – otherwise known as Max Lauzon of the League of Superheroes, a group of non-profit caped crusaders who will appear at charitable events.

position in a byelection last August, after former premier and Ottawa-South MPP Dalton McGuinty stepped down. During the debate, organized by the Canterbury Community Centre, with support from the Faircrest Heights Community Association and the South East Ottawa Community Health Centre, one man asked what the Liberals are going to do to help Ontario businesses that are struggling with enormous hydro bills. “We need to go back to where we started in 2003,â€? said Fraser, adding that the Liberal government was faced with $19 billion in hydro debts and failing infrastructure. “You have to ďŹ x the roof,â€? he said. The Tories still want to privatize hydro, which is a problem because â€œâ€Ś when you bring proďŹ t into the mix, that’s why the rates go up, because companies need to make a proďŹ t,â€? said Communist Party candidate Espoir Manirambona. “So we need public ownership of energy ... because if it’s publicly owned it’s cheaper.â€? PC candidate Young didn’t hold his punches. “This government’s green energy policies are the single worst public

policy initiative in a generation,� he said. “This chased over 300,000 good manufacturing jobs from this province.� “Forcing� Ontario to buy power for up to 80 cents per kilowatt hour and selling it to the United States for “one or two cents,� said Young, adding these American companies then turn around and compete with Canadian companies, which is a “job killer,� said Young. Jean-Serge Brisson from the Ontario Libertarian party said he wants the MPP post because he is “sick and tired� of the government putting the blame on the former government for the problems of the province. “All I want is cheap power,� he said.� I don’t want to mortgage my life for the next 40 years to get power for one month.� The New Democratic Party plans to get hydro rates under control, and cap the salaries of energy bosses. “We are also committed to ensuring that life is more affordable for families by taking the HST off hydro bills to save families money so they can put money in their pockets so they can put food on their table, rather than worrying about their hydro rates,� said NDP candidate Bronwyn Funiciello. Green party candidate Matt Lakatos-Hayward said the key is to har-

ness clean-tech innovation to better use energy, which would help save money. “If we can harness that, invest in that and help home-owners and businesses such as yourself, really kind of tap into that, that puts money back in their pockets so they can invest in other areas that will be beneďŹ cial to

them. While Young told the audience the Conservatives don’t plan to download new services onto municipalities, there will be a delay in uploading some services to the province until the books are balanced. “We are in a terrible, terrible deďŹ cit situation,â€? he said, adding the

province owes almost $300 billion, representing about $22,000 for each Ontarian. John Redins, representing the Party for People with Special Needs, said the key to working out a formula between the province and municipalities is co-operation among politicians. “All three parties are going to have to start working together, no matter if they’re left right or centre,â€? he said, prompting applause. “And that is the sad part – we’re stuck with the bill.â€? Funiciello agreed, adding that while the NDP is committed to balancing the budget, “we will not be doing it on the backs of seniors, on the backs of our most vulnerable and ‌ making life less affordable or by downloading unfairly onto our municipalities.â€? Fraser pointed ďŹ ngers at PC party leader Tim Hudak for favouring corporations over public sector workers. The Progressive Conservatives say these job cuts will come through attrition. “Here’s what’s important to remember, he’s not going to continue the upload but he’s going to give $3 million to corporations, and how is he going to ďŹ nance that? By ďŹ ring 100,000 workers,â€? he said, adding this will translate into larger

classroom sizes and longer hospital waits. When asked about PC plans to axe the Ontario College of Trades, Young said the college kills jobs, because over-regulation in trades kills business. COLLEGE OF TRADES

“If we want to get people back to work in this province, we need to ďŹ nd ways to make Ontario employers more competitive. Fraser said Liberals support health and safety, building up apprenticeships. Meanwhile, Lakatos-Hayward said rather the priority should be to ďŹ x the college and labour laws. “Instead of throwing them out leaving employees vulnerable to employers, we should be trying to work so everyone is satisďŹ ed with this,â€? the Green candidate said. Funiciello agreed, saying collaboration between tradespeople and the college is necessary. “I think we are all too aware of the signiďŹ cant numbers of workers who are injured on the job, and there are far too many workers who have died on the job,â€? she said.

Green party candidate looks to connect with disenfranchised voters News – Fresh out of university, Matt Lakatos-Hayward, 21, doesn’t see his age as a barrier to running as the Green party candidate for the Ottawa-South riding in the June 12 Ontario election. “A lot of people say I’m so young, I don’t have all that experience, but I think each candidate brings his own field of experience,” said Lakatos-Hayward. “I think my age is my biggest strength because I can connect to disenfranchised youth or people who don’t really care anymore.” Lakatos-Hayward, who graduated in 2014 from Carleton University with a bachelor’s degree in political science and environmental studies, said he’s learned a lot working as an intern this year in the office of federal Green Party leader Elizabeth May. “Unlike the other parties, the Greens actually follow through with what they say,” said the Alta Vista resident. “People don’t know what party to vote for. I don’t know if they trust the other parties.” Lakatos-Hayward’s campaign will focus on three issues: supporting local businesses, trying to stop TransCanada’s Energy East pipeline in the south Ottawa area and his party’s plan to create a fund encouraging student entrepreneurship. The Green Party is looking

70th Anniversary of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy – Remembering Their Sacrifice Seventy years ago on June 6, 1944, Canadian and Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy. Triumph in the Normandy campaign changed the course of the Second World War and ensured victory in Europe, but it came at a terrible cost of many lives lost. As we mark the 70th Anniversary of D-Day, let us pause for a moment and show gratitude to these brave troops and remember their sacrifice. We owe our freedom to these heroic Canadians.

to double the employer health tax exemption from $450,000 to $900,000 a year, something which will encourage businesses to hire more people and expand, said Lakatos-Hayward. “I want to support local businesses,” he said. “If local business wins, then everyone wins.” The next big issue he says is affecting the Ottawa South riding is the proposed route for the 4,600-kilometre Energy East pipeline, which will carry diluted bitumen from Alberta and Saskatchewan to refineries in eastern Canada. “There’s no gain to Ottawa residents, only risks.” A spill of diluted bitumen would have disastrous effects on the Rideau River, he said. “The only way you can clean up a spill of diluted bitumen . . . is to dredge the entire lake,” he said. Helping unemployed students is the third plank of LakatosHayward’s campaign. The Green Party proposes to create a fund for students to help them start their own businesses. Other items included in the Green party’s plan for Ontario include a proposal to merge Catholic and public school boards, which would potentially save the province up to $1.6 billion annually; cutting one per cent from the corporate tax break and investing in cleantech industry.

News - Ontario’s Conservatives are training their cross hairs on a long list of inefficiencies they say is plaguing government services and costing taxpayers. Ottawa-South provincial candidate and Hunt Club resident Matt Young is chomping at the bit to get started on lowering the tax burden, replacing bureaucrats with front-line-care providers, creating one million jobs and balancing the budget. By increasing elementary school class sizes by one to six students, Young said the province will save money and prevent the need for split classes in lower grades. “It’s just strictly a matter that we’re losing $13 billion a year if you follow this year’s budget,” said Young, father to two young girls. The PC party’s plan to eliminate 100,000 public sector jobs will mean fewer teachers, based on the fact there are 250,000 fewer students in the province than there were 10 years ago. “It’ll be an ebb and a flow based on how many kids come into the system,” said Young, 35, adding the bulk of the jobs will be administrative.

An average of 50,000 public sector workers retire every year, and under the PC plan 25,000 will be hired annually – with an emphasis on doctors, teachers, social workers and emergency responders and other front-linecare providers. Conservatives would lower the tax burden on businesses by 30 per cent, and when they balances the books in the 2016-17 fiscal year, Ontarians will see a 10-per-cent personal income tax cut. “I’d love to do that on day one, but it’s just not fiscally responsible,” said Young, who ran and lost against the Liberals’ John Fraser in last year’s byelection. By reducing the tax burden and lowering electricity prices, companies can stay competitive, and keep jobs here, said Young. “We’ve seen 300,000 good jobs leave the economy over the last decade,” he said. Some health-care administration jobs will be axed in favour of medical professionals. The bureaucrat-heavy community care access centres will be streamlined to allow seniors to more easily access medical services, Young said. “We want them to be successful in staying in their homes,” he

Two, it’s a much better fiscal position for everyone to keep them in their own homes.” The PCs also plan to save Ontarians money by shopping at home and beyond Canadian borders for energy providers. “We’re going to open the mar-

ket to other jurisdictions to sell power to Ontario,” Young said, adding Ontario’s hydroelectric systems will be expanded and nuclear plants will be refurbished. For more on the Ontario Provincial Conservatives’ election platform, visit ontariopc.com/ millionjobsplan.

Ward 22 Update

Liberals focus on job creation, ‘careful’ spending and balancing the budget erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - If re-elected as the member of provincial parliament for Ottawa-South, John Fraser is vowing to continue working hard for families. Balancing the provincial budget by 2017-18 is key to helping them lighten the load, Fraser said, through a “fair, practical and balanced plan.” “Ontario has the best spending in terms of lowest per capita on services of any provincial government,” Fraser said. “So if we become too focused on trying to cut, there will be a deficit on the other side that is harder to see because it happens to ... people’s families.” Efforts must continue to ensure health care, education and public transit are properly funded, Fraser said. Spending has been necessary to help Ontario’s economy recover post-recession, and a 20year action plan will see energy infrastructure get the investment it needs, Fraser said. Individuals’ hydro bills are going up 2.8 per cent per year over 20 years to help with those infrastructure costs, Fraser said. The Liberal government, if

elected, will remove the resulting hydro debt retirement charge on bills in a few years’ time, he said, noting that some of that cost is offset by the clean-energy benefit and energy tax credits on personal income taxes. Job creation remains a priority, Fraser said, adding the 2014 budget commits $2.5 billion to making this happen over 10 years, “which is really a strategic fund to incent companies to come here and open here.” He said he also supports the creation of an Ontario pension plan, additional funding for public-transit projects, the Ottawa River cleanup and rolling back taxes as the Liberals have done for 93 per cent of Ontarians over the last 10 years. The Liberal government was the first to the table with $33 million to fund the first part of the Ottawa River Action Plan,” he said. Fraser, a 54-year-old father of three grown children, said his government would reintroduce Bill 179, which includes a private member’s bill he put forward last year requiring MPPs to publish their travel, accommodation and hospitality expenses every quarter. Fraser, who won the byelec-

Funiciello touts New Democratic platform as ‘accountable, trustworthy’ alternative Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - With 11 years under her belt as a public school board trustee, Bronwyn Funiciello says a vote for her is a vote against “mismanagement, waste and scandal.� “In speaking to residents over the past year it’s really clear that so many people have lost trust and lost confidence in the Liberal government,� said Funiciello, the New Democratic Party candidate who is vying for the Ottawa-South riding in the election race. The 46-year-old mother of four grown children said residents are concerned over lack of accountability, soaring hydro bills, health-care pressures and threats to education and other public sector jobs. But, if elected, New Democrats, under Andrea Horvath, will look for savings and efficiencies, attack the debt and balance the budget by 2017-18. An NDP government would increase the corporate tax rate from 11.5 to 12.5 per cent “which still keeps us at some of the lowest corporate tax rates,� and decrease the small business tax from 4.5 to three

per cent, Funiciello said. Job creation is also key to a healthy economy, She said before touting NDP plans to create a job-creation tax credit to encourage Ontario businesses to create jobs. “Rather than the big no-stringsattached corporate giveaways promised by the Liberals and the Tories, we have a very sensible plan,� she said. When it comes to preparing for retirement, Funiciello said the NDP have in the past supported the Liberal’s hope to create a provincial pension plan. If elected, the NDP hopes to work with the federal government in expanding the Canada Pension Plan, before going ahead and creating a provincial retirement plan. Health care is also an NDP priority to ensure seniors don’t wait longer than five days for a home-care visit, as well as opening more long-termcare beds, said Funiciello. “We’ve heard stories of some seniors waiting up to over 250 days for home care, which ultimately puts a strain on hospitals because seniors end up there,� she said. Public education remains one of her passions, and there are NDP plans for several improvements to that sec-

Ottawa men charged after Ottawa-South election signs burned Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News – The election trail in the Ottawa-South provincial riding recently heated up in an unusual way. Police say two men were spotted fleeing the vicinity of McCarthy Road and Southmore Drive in the early morning hours of May 22, where several election campaign signs had been set on fire. A witness notified police and fire services, according to investigators.

Firefighters responding to the call also spotted the suspects, noted what they were wearing and related the descriptions to police, said Capt. Marc Messier, fire department spokesman. Attending officers arrested an 18-year-old man and a 19-year-old man, both from Ottawa, at the scene in the Riverside Park South community. The suspects were each charged with one count of mischief to property, and were released on a promise to

appear in court. “Police investigators have determined that there is no

indication that (the suspects) were targeting any particular political party; and this ap-

eral MPP and candidate John Fraser has seen election signs damaged during campaigns

over the past 20 years, he said he has never known signs to be burned before. Seven of his large signs have been torched during this campaign. “It takes a lot of hardworking volunteers to get those signs out across the city and I spent many years on campaigns doing that exact thing,” Fraser said in a statement to the Ottawa South News. “They are a symbol of our democracy and it’s unfortunate when we find them damaged, destroyed or stolen.”

Likewise, Ottawa-South Progressive Conservative candidate Matt Young has lost between 12 and 20 signs to fire, and about another 50 have been either cut in half, torn down or removed completely, confirmed Austin Jean, Young’s campaign manager. The signs burned on May 22 were situated about one kilometre away from Young’s McCarthy Road campaign headquarters. See SIGN, page 23

CHEO celebrates turning 40 with Doors Open Ottawa

NEWS

Connected to your community

By Jenna Guilbeault

This year, the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario will be celebrating its 40th year of service to children and youth, and what better way to celebrate than to open its doors to the public during the Doors Open Ottawa event June 7 and 8. CHEO is a world-renowned and cutting-edge pediatric care facility that specializes in research and training and is one of the few independent pediatric hospitals in Canada. CHEO is located at 401 Smyth Road in Ottawa, but they extend their services to communities in Eastern Ontario, Western Quebec, Nunavut and parts of Northern Ontario through their numerous partnerships with organizations such as Ronald McDonald House, Roger’s House, Children’s Miracle Network and Compassionate Friends of Canada. CHEO is a teaching hospital that also offers medical support to other doctors in Ottawa institutions and this, in turn, strengthens the quality of care that is offered to children and youth. Each year, CHEO provides more than 6,000 admissions, 7,000 surgeries and 170,000 clinic visits. It houses one of the busiest pediatric emergency rooms in Canada, treating more than 65,000 children and youth a year. CHEO offers

a wide range of specialized programs for youth that focus on disorders such as early language developmental disabilities and autism. CHEO’s is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year by opening its doors during Doors Open Ottawa. You can join a guided tour and get a unique behind-the-scenes look at the hospital’s cutting-edge research facilities, surgical suites and the simulation lab. Eva Schacherl, from the communications department at CHEO, says that there will be lot of interesting things for kids and adults to see. There will be child-friendly activities, and parents can experience the human library, where they can sit down one-on-one to talk with a heart surgeon or a brain surgeon, for example. Schacherl says there is a superhero theme within the hospital and she hopes that those who visit CHEO will support that theme – dressing up as superheroes encouraged! Doors Open Ottawa takes place this year during the first full weekend in June. It celebrates the historically and architecturally significant buildings in the Ottawa area by opening their doors, free of admission, for the public to see. 2014-02-8023-23320_5_en

Doors Open Ottawa commemorates First World War By Jenna Guilbeault

As a way to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the First World War, Doors Open Ontario has chosen WW1 as the theme for the 2014 Ontario-wide Doors Open event season. Doors Open Ottawa, which takes place June 7 and 8, is proud to feature several buildings that tell a story regarding this important time in Canadian history. The Carleton Masonic Lodge, located at 3704 Carp Road in Stittsville, was originally built as a Presbyterian church in 1904. The great fire in 1920 damaged much of the interior of the building. When the church was restored, it became the village of Carp’s Masonic Lodge in 1925. The lodge is characterized by its original stained glass windows and beautiful oak furniture, which was used by Le Havre, a military Masonic lodge located in France and opened by the Allied Forces during WWI. Constructed in 1879, the Cartier Square Drill Hall is a military training facility nestled between the Rideau Canal and neighbouring Ottawa City Hall, which occupies land that was once an open field used for military exercises. The Cartier Square Drill Hall has been a landmark in the heart of Ottawa for over a century. Its Officers’ Mess was the scene of Sir Sam Hughes’ (Minister of Militia and Defence at the time) declaration of war by Canada in 1914, commencing our participation in the Great War. “Given that it has been at the centre of military mobilization and training, and used by a wide variety of civic organizations as part of their activities, we felt it should be shared with the Ottawa public,” says Major Gregory Ptolemy of the Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa (Duke of Edinburgh’s Own). During the summer months, it is from here that the Ceremonial Guard departs to perform

the Changing of the Guard ceremony on Parliament Hill. It is also home to the Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa (Duke of Edinburgh’s Own) and Governor General’s Foot Guards, reserve infantry units trained to augment the Regular Army during times of war and peace. The financial services of Diane A. Gagne operate from a Queen Anne Revival style home built in 1905 in Sandy Hill. It had previously been used as the Italian Embassy, the national headquarters of the Victorian Order of Nurses, and was once the family home to WWI aviator Billy Bishop. Bishop, born in 1894, was decorated as Canada’s top flying ace after being credited with 72 victories. This house features a spacious foyer, beautiful woodwork and mouldings, and eight fireplaces. Exterior details include a steep, cross-gambrel roof, decorative brickwork, classically inspired porches and use of slate, stone and corbelled chimneys. Pinhey’s Point Historic Site, located on Pinhey’s Point Road in Dunrobin, depicts upper- and middle-class rural life in the 19th century. In honor of the 100th commemoration of WWI, Pinhey’s Point will be featuring an exhibit highlighting the journey of Charles Pinhey and his fellow soldiers of the 38th Ottawa Battalion from Bermuda to the Somme. Margot Reid, a member of the museum committee, added, “Charlie and his battalion’s service in Bermuda and France are explored in this exhibit through his letters home, photographs, documents and personal artefacts”.

Curb appeal puts your home in big demand

Sign vandalism stifling free speech: candidate Continued from page 21

The removal and vandalism of signs has been frustrating for Young and his team, Jean said, adding that one morning he was heading to the campaign office and saw signs cut in half or pulled out of the ground and thrown into the bushes and onto the road. “They do cost a lot of money and there’s a lot of time and effort that goes into putting these signs up,� Jean said. A lawn sign belonging to one of Young’s supporters in the north end of the riding was also set on fire. “She didn’t seem too scared by it, because she wanted a bigger one,� Jean said of the homeowner. Ottawa-South Green Party candidate Matt Lakatos-Hayward had to

replace one sign in the Riverside Drive and Pleasant Park Road area after a vandal painted a swastika on it. Calling the vandalism “unacceptable,� LakatosHayward said “an election is and should be a forum where candidates can freely express their personal and party’s views, which includes the use of signs.� “Any individual or group that vandalizes a sign is therefore stifling a candidate’s ability to express their ideas,� he said in an email. NDP candidate for the Ottawa-South riding Bronwyn Funiciello hasn’t lost any signs to fire, but some have been targeted by vandals. “We have had several pulled down and just left there as well, not a huge amount, but still a con“That was way to easy!�

siderable cost both financially and with labour resources, as well,� said Funiciello’s campaign manager, Stephanie Jones. It’s fortunate that the torched signs were not near any combustible objects, Messier said of the vandalism on McCarthy Road. “Had the signs been near anything combustible or that we were in the middle of a drought then there certainly would have been a risk of fire spreading,� he said. Police are reminding the public that damaging political signs is a criminal offence, and urge anyone with information on the vandalized signs to file a report with Ottawa police by calling 613-236-1222, ext. 7300. However, if it is a crime in progress, the public should dial 911. “I just clicked and saved 90%�

(NC)—In a market where sellers are in competition to make the most out of their largest investment, improving your home’s first impression is one of the best ways to set it apart from the rest of the pack. When prospective buyers or renters drive through your neighbourhood, what do they see? This is a really important question that you need to answer because it will help understand what your buyer is going to be looking for in a new home. Once you’ve answered this, ask yourself objectively if the front of your home is in keeping with the rest of the houses on your block. The first impression is critical in setting the mood for prospective agents and buyers. If your home’s exterior looks like it needs work, then people immediately assume that it’s a ‘fixer-upper’. The opposite is true if your front yard is manicured, the roof is in good shape and the driveway is in good condition. Having a potential buyer walk into your front door in a positive mode can translate into big dollars

for you. Both Virginia Tech and the University of Guelph did studies in 2011 that measured the effect of landscaping on property values, and they both came to the same conclusion. To improve curb appeal, basic landscaping increased the home’s value by 5%, but more extensive landscaping including decks and patios increased the homes value up to 15%. So where do you spend the money? Set your budget and be realistic about what you’re trying to accomplish with it. Keep in mind that you are trying to create an excellent first impression to attract potential buyers. This isn’t the opportunity for you to realize your landscaping dreams. Consider a new paint job using a colour scheme that highlights the character of your home. Install a new front door or at least update your door’s hardware. Even something as simple as full and healthy planters can make a favourable impact. One of the easiest ways to improve curb appeal is to have a clean and tidy front yard with a

manicured lawn. Maybe this is the opportunity to invest in some new tools to help do the job properly. The best part about this type of investment is that not only will your plants and lawn look better with edging, pruning and cutting, you also get to take your new tools with you once you’ve sold your home. The technology for landscaping tools has made the purchasing task much easier as well. Now you can get a hedge trimmer, string trimmer or sweeper & vac all in one system. With the Black & Decker 36V Lithium system, for example, you can use the same battery and charger for all three of those tools. A quick prune of the shrubs with the hedge trimmer, followed by a ‘one-around’ with the string trimmer and then tidying up with the sweeper will help you to maintain the front yard as short as 10 minutes per day. The goal is to create an emotional connection at the first glance of any prospective buyer, so before you put that sign on the lawn, be sure to spend enough time at the curb. News Canada

Stove-top fire displaces family The same day, firefighters also respond to smoke at recycling depot Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - A family with two young children has been forced to find alternate shelter after grease residue on an unattended hot stove in their home caught fire. Smoke was coming from the front windows and door of a row-house unit at 2882 Cedarwood Dr. when nearly 30 firefighters from several city stations responded on May 26 at 7:48 p.m. There was initial concern that the flames could spread to attached homes on either side of the dwelling, reason why a large contingent of fire crews raced to the scene, said Capt. Marc Messier, fire spokesman. Despite an initial attempt by the mother to put out the flames with an extinguisher, the fire was too far gone to make a dent. “We are under the impres-

sion it was residual grease that was on the surface of the stove, which ignited and then it spread to the counter,” Messier said, adding the family was able to vacate the home in time, and there were no injuries in the incident. Damage is estimated at $60,000. Though the flames were knocked down by 8 p.m., there was extensive smoke in the home. “And the guys would have had to open up the walls on the exterior of the buildings to make sure the flames didn’t creep up the wall and get into the attic space,” Messier said. The Red Cross was called in to help the family find another place to stay, and the Salvation Army ensured the parents and two children, aged four and six, had access to food, clothing and other supplies. The lesson learned in this

incident is to never leave the kitchen when frying, broiling or grilling, and to keep ovens and stove surfaces clean to prevent buildup, Messier said. While people can attempt to put out a fire, they should only do so under safe conditions, Messier advised. “Just don’t put yourself in danger, and the priority should be to get everybody out of the house first though.” There were no injuries related to the fire and smoke. It was a busy night for Ottawa firefighters, who less than an hour earlier at 7:03 p.m. also responded to a report of a smouldering bale of compressed recycled paper at Cascades Recovery, at 2811 Sheffield Rd. A full contingent of smoke eaters raced to the scene due to the flammable nature of the contents of the paper recycling depot. “Because it’s obviously a huge fire load in that building, it was escalated to a working fire, but once the crews got in and realized it was just a

smoking bale then it’s just a matter of getting them to tear it apart, and soaking it down,” Messier said, adding the hot spot was contained within minutes.

A dozen firefighters were on scene at the height of the emergency. “The origin (of the fire) was bailed paper stuck in a compactor,” he said, adding

the jam caused a press plate in the machine to overheat. No one suffered any injuries in the incident, nor were there any damages to the property.

PET OF THE WEEK

Pet Adoptions Petra (A165207) is an affectionate little kitty looking for a home to call her very own. This petite one-year-old tabby makes a sweet chirping sound when she’s happy to see you and will run to greet you at the door when you come home. She is very social and loves to spend her days taking cat naps and being around people. She has a gentle demeanor and would be great in a home with children.

All OHS cats, from the youngest kitten born at the OHS to the 15-yearold surrendered to the OHS, are shelter cats. They’re all different, with unique personalities. Some are purebred, some are beautiful mixes. Some love to play with toys, others love to cuddle, while many love to do both.

Investment of a lifetime

“I just clicked and saved 90%”

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

(NC)—Owning your own home is an exciting proposition and an achievable goal for most Canadians. The number one reason many become homeowners is pride of homeownership and the stability and security that comes with it. Buying a home can also be a solid investment and provide tax benefits. In Canada, you are not taxed on any investment gains made on the sale of your primary residence. So, for example, if you buy your home for $200,000 and sell it 5 years later for $250,000, you do not have to pay income tax on the $50,000 you earned from the sale. Another advantage is each time you make a mortgage payment, you are putting a portion towards the principal balance of your mortgage, which builds equity in your home. This is a better use of your money than giving rent to a landlord and is a good longterm investment. Owning a home also means that you can make your own decisions on decorating, home improvements, location, etc. In a recent survey conducted by Genworth Canada, 91 per cent of first-time homebuyers said that homeownership may mean more work but the effort is well worth it. When it makes financial sense, buying a home is often a wise, secure and emotionally satisfying move to make. For more information on buying a home visit Genworth.ca

Place large glass bowl or metal bowl in freezer. In medium saucepan, over medium-high heat, combine quartered strawberries and sugar, cook stirring until sugar starts to dissolve and juice begins to release, about three minutes. Reduce heat to medium; simmer for 15 minutes or until strawberries can be crushed easily with back of spoon. Transfer to shallow heatproof dish; refrigerate for 30 minutes or until cool. (Sauce can be made two days in advance and refrigerated.) Remove bowl from freezer; add ice cream. Working quickly, coarsely break up ice cream. Add meringue, chocolate and 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the strawberry sauce; lightly

combine ingredients. Scoop one-quarter of the ice cream mixture (approx 1 cup/250 mL) into each bowl; top each with 1 tbsp (15 mL) remaining strawberry sauce. Garnish with whole strawberry and mint leaf. Serve immediately. Tip: For a make-ahead idea use Mason jars, seal with the lid and store in the freezer. Simply top with a little strawberry sauce and serve on a moment’s notice. NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION

City to offer free swimming at six pools June 7 Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Two people can swim for the price of one at all 21 city pools on June 7 to encourage people to be active on National Health and Fitness Day. The city will offer public swimming completely free of charge for one session at each of six city pools on the same day: Bob MacQuarrie Recreation Complex OrlĂŠans, the Canterbury Recreation Complex, the Lowertown Pool, the Pinecrest Recreation Complex, the

Richcraft Recreation Complex and the Kanata Leisure Centre. That final location was a last-minute addition by Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley, who was one of the councillors who jumped on the free-swimming motion proposed by RideauVanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury, a former city lifeguard. Somerset Coun. Diane Holmes questioned why income levels were not a factor in choosing the locations. Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans wanted to know why city staff chose some pools over others for

the free swimming. Dan Chenier, who is in charge of city recreation, said the pools were chosen to provide a geographical spread and expand from the three locations where free swimming was offered last year for health and fitness day. The selected pools offered the largest capacity to accommodate clients, Chenier said. The goal of the promotion is to get people interested in swimming more regularly, Chenier said, although he couldn’t provide numbers showing whether the promotion made a difference in the number of swimming memberships

or day passes purchased afterwards. “At the three pools (last year) we did see a marginal increase,â€? Chenier said. The real value of the $1,500 the city planned to spend on free swimming in five locations is its promotional value, he said. “Behind all of this is our role in promoting physical activity,â€? Chenier said. OrlĂŠans Coun. Bob Monette said he’d like to see the program expanded across the city next year. After a lengthy debate, council approved the promotion unanimously.

2014 Zoning Review – Phase 2 Notice of Public Information Sessions Why? In 2013 City Council approved new OfďŹ cial Plan policies to create a more liveable Ottawa. To put these policies into action, the Zoning By-law needs to be updated. In some review areas, changes to existing Secondary Plans will also be made to permit the zoning updates to proceed.

Notice of Completion Queen Street Renewal (From Bronson Avenue to Elgin Street) Environmental Study Report The City of Ottawa has completed an Environmental Assessment of the Queen Street Renewal Project. The City has identiďŹ ed the need to renew Queen Street to upgrade the streetscape and pedestrian environment in anticipation of the commencement of the Confederation Line service. The streetscape/ surface renewal on Queen Street between Bronson Avenue and Elgin Street is being coordinated with the construction of the Confederation Line light rail transit (LRT) through the downtown area. The Recommended Plan will provide one shared-use travel lane in each direction with turning lanes where essential, while providing maximum space for wide sidewalks including opportunities for on-street parking, loading and/or taxi space. The City has planned this project under Schedule C of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment. The Environmental Study Report (ESR) has been completed and by this Notice is being placed in the public record for review. Subject to the comments received as a result of this Notice and receipt of necessary approvals, the City intends to proceed to detailed design. The implementation timing has not yet been conďŹ rmed however construction activities will be coordinated with the Confederation Line project. The ESR is available for review at the following locations:

How will this affect me? Zoning affects how land can be used on both public and private properties. It regulates things like types of housing, shops, schools, industries, as well as building heights and building densities. The right zoning will make sure our streets and neighbourhoods develop in ways that encourage vibrant, liveable places for all to enjoy. Zoning changes will provide greater certainty for residents, developers, businesses and others, about what to expect when it comes to future development in the review areas. Learn more about the project and view maps of the review areas at ottawa.ca/zoningreview.

NCC looks to liven up west-end riverfront No budget or plans to make changes for a decade Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - The National Capital Commission hopes to make the green space along Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway into something more grand – but not anytime soon. A group of stakeholders from community associations and local agencies were invited to the NCC’s offices on May 27 for a “blue sky” brainstorming session on how the nine kilometres of parkland could be improved. But there is no budget for any improvements now and it’s likely nothing could be done for a decade, said the NCC’s CEO, Mark Kristmanson. “The idea of a waterfront linear park that would run from the Canadian War Museum up to Britannia on the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway is an idea for the long term. It’s not something you’ll see coming next year or something,” Kristmanson said. “This is kind of an aspirational ‘blue-skying’ of what could be done with the parkway in the long term. It could be 10 years before something happens.”

LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND

From left, McKeller Park resident Rich Brandau, Carleton University professor Ben Gianni, Sandra Pecek and Madeleine Demers of the NCC participate in a May 27 consultation on how to make the green space along Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway into a linear park. He was hoping people would come up with ideas to create better access to the waterfront and add more activities or amenities that would attract people there or entice the large volumes of cyclists who use the pathways to stick around. Connecting the parkway lands back into the “urban fabric,” especially near the war museum, is another goal of Kristmanson’s. The main theme of discussions

around various tables at the consultation was how much people cherished the green space that is already there. “It’s a fantastic amenity. Any changes need to be in addition to, rather than a change,” said Ben Gianni, a professor from Carleton University’s school of architecture. Michael Powell of the Dalhousie Community Association agreed. “It’s less about creating a linear park than expanding on what’s al-

ready there,” he said. “I think they’re a great asset. They are already very well used and much loved and beautiful,” Kristmanson said. “But you could imagine ... As society changes, as means of transportation change, as climate changes, all of things things, it will open up new possibilities and opportunities.” Some ideas floated by participants included adding washroom facilities – perhaps composting toilets, sug-

gested Melissa Hugh of the Woodroffe North Community Association – and adding interpretative signs to explain the flora and fauna of the area. Several participants pointed out that access across the parkway to the water is limited and even obvious access points – such as well-used routes near Tunney’s Pasture – are not made into actual paths. While the city and the NCC are at loggerheads over a proposed western extension of the light-rail line that the city hopes to run through a portion of the NCC’s parkway lands at Rochester Field, Kristmanson said the linear park consultation doesn’t relate to the rail project. “I think it will help inform the broader consultation about western light rail and how it should work, what it should do and what it forms part of, but that’s not part of the objective tonight,” he said. “We’re looking at what people are doing around the world with waterfront spaces and using them in imaginative ways,” Kristmason said. The initiative is part of a broader consultation on what Canadians would like to see the NCC’s parkways become. More shoreline planning projects are in the pipes, Kristmanson said, likely starting with the Quebec side of the Ottawa River.

Emerson insists on proper burial for animals

E

merson was having no part of it! Ronny and Terry had come from Montreal for their usual long summer holidays, and Ronny, just as aggressive as Emerson, insisted he was quite capable of playing a leading role in burying the dead bird. Emerson was high on burying anything that had died on the farm, and having what he called a proper funeral. He drew the line on the long list of farm animals that ended up in our smoke house and on the old pine table at meal time. Thank goodness, or we would be having a funeral service every few days! What he called a proper send-off was saved for birds, squirrels, or anything else that roamed the large acreage that was our farm at Northcote and which had passed on for one reason or another. He was known to drag a dead groundhog a half mile to give it a proper service. Now, the service usually included us five children standing, (although my sister Audrey, the oldest was getting less and less enamoured with

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories the whole idea) around in solemn wonder as Emerson said a few words, put the deceased in a shallow hole, covered it up, stuck a twig in the mound, and then we were supposed to stand and meditate for at least a full three minutes, which Emerson measured off by counting backwards. That Saturday the dead bird was discovered in the barn yard, and Emerson didn’t take long to announce that we should all gather behind the silo as soon as we finished our breakfast. Ronny said he would be glad to help with the service. Emerson said that wouldn’t be necessary, he had the service down pat. Know-

ing Ronny, he had other plans. Well, Mother wasn’t letting any of us away from the house until the kitchen had been redded up, and that included Emerson pitching in. We all had our special chores, and nothing interfered with Mother’s routine, dead bird, or no dead bird. Ronny was to take the table scraps out to the back stoop for our old Collie dog Sport, who, like the rest of us, was well aware of our meal-time routine, and was already sitting on the bottom step waiting for whatever morsel was coming his way. As Ronny was heading out the door, Emerson hollered, “We’ll meet at the silo in five minutes.”

Finally the red and white oilcloth covered table was wiped clean, the dishes washed, dried and put away, and the floor swept. We all headed for the back door. Audrey couldn’t be coaxed out of the kitchen. “Nonsense...just plain nonsense,” she could be heard muttering. Everything could have been happening in another country as far as Mother was concerned. As long as our chores were done to her liking, she was happy! Emerson always wore his cap at these ceremonies. I thought that strange since you wouldn’t dare wear a cap in church, and this was supposed to be as close to a church service as you could get without actually going to church. He also took the battered hymn book with him. He would have loved to take the bible which sat in the parlour on the twig table, but Mother drew the line on that! No bible left the house to bury a dead bird. Emerson led us solemnly out of the house, down the back steps and across the front yard towards the

silo behind the barn. Little Terry had no idea where he was going, but he sensed excitement in the air, and holding my hand tightly, he skipped along as if we were going to a party. Ronny was already at the site. And it didn’t take a university graduate to figure out what he had done. There was a soft mound of dirt, and a stick at one end of it, and there stood Ronny standing in solemn wonder with his hands folded in steeple position and his eyes closed. Ronny had buried the bird. Well, Emerson lost all sense of piety, lunged at Ronny, dropped the hymn book, and was about to tear into him when Everett and Earl got a good hold of him and held him back. Ronny had the good sense to head for the house where he knew Mother would never let Emerson lay a hand on him. The rest of us stood around the little mound. I have no idea when he did it, but Ronny had taken a scrap of paper, woven it through the twig at the head of the make-shift grave, and printed in black red crayon, “Goodbye Bird.”

Entrepreneur Week Giant Tiger’s business philosophy focuses on customer satisfaction, community involvement President says company’s model is one for entrepreneurs to emulate Staff

Community - Since the first Giant Tiger store opened its doors in Ottawa’s ByWard Market in 1961, every step taken has been done with the customer in mind, the company’s president says. By the end of August this year, the company will have 207 stores in communities across Canada, including six new stores. “Our goal is certainly to add store count and continue to grow because we think there’s a lot of markets yet that we’re not in that we think we should be in,” said Greg Farrell, Giant Tiger president and chief operating officer, adding the company regularly receives feedback from customers who would like to see Giant Tiger stores open in their cities. For that reason, Giant Tiger’s business model is one that entrepreneurs can learn from when it comes to achieving success in delivering outstanding customer service and creating an ideal working environment for employees. A key feature of the privately held Canadian company’s business model is profit sharing for the more than 2,000 employees, including at warehouses, franchise stores, the trucking division and home office, which is located at 2480 Walkley Rd. in Ottawa. It encourages those within the Giant Tiger family to work harder and longer for the customers they serve, said Farrell. “Everyone contributes to the success, and everyone, thereby, should share in the success,” he added. That success is reliant on delivering quality products, from fashion and groceries to everyday supplies, at low prices to customers. “Everything is about reducing the cost to get the product onto the shelf and into the customers’ hands. That’s number 46

one and number two we will never be beat on price,” said Farrell. Giant Tiger’s customers appreciate the company’s many guarantees from providing rainchecks and accepting coupons to offering a satisfaction guarantee, a no-hassle refund policy, which includes no time limits on refunds, as well as price clawbacks and an ad-match guarantee. “The customer has to trust us that we have the best price,” Farrell said. Giant Tiger stores also offer convenience by offering friendly store layouts and accessible parking. The company also strives to deliver affordable fashions for the entire family. “We will match Target’s quality and style but beat them on price,” said Farrell, a Stittsville resident. “We will match Walmart’s price, but beat them on style.” Given the highly completive retail industry, the company’s management team and franchise store owners have built a solid name in a highpressure industry. “It’s all about trying to give confidence to our customer,” Farrell said. His advice to up-and-coming entrepreneurs also includes being clear on your competitive advantage and differentiating your business in the marketplace. “You also have to be willing and able to change and innovate,” he said, adding that the company also maintains its edge by keeping a close watch on competitors. Giant Tiger is also proudly Canadian. Today, there are fewer Canadian companies in the rapidly changing retail sector. “There’s a lot that have gone by the wayside, a couple of regional players that are in bankruptcy protection,” said Farrell. The company also prides itself in giving back to communities. “We have three brand pillars as to how we run our business, and one of them is being connected to our communities, and we think that’s really important,” he said, adding that the ways the company helps range from providing for families in need to supporting local hospital foundations and food banks. Each year, the company donates more than $2 million

Ottawa South News EMC - Thursday, June 5, 2014

Greg Farrell, president and chief operating officer of Giant Tiger Stores Ltd., says the privately held Canadian company’s business model is one that entrepreneurs can find success in emulating.

Giant Tiger Stores remain committed to serving the community, not only by delivering quality products for low prices to consumers, but also by supporting charitable causes. Giant Tiger president and Stittsville resident Greg Farrell was the first to purchase a hat in support of the company’s support for the Soldier On Afghanistan Relay team, which travelled from Trenton, Ont. to Parliament Hill in early May. to charities and organizations across the country. Most recently, eight stores organized free barbecues during the Soldier On Afghanistan Relay in early May that saw wounded personnel travel from Trenton,

Giving back is a tribute to your business success News - (NC) - Pay it Forward initiatives are popular across Canada. They are successful because they benefit both those who give and those who receive. “The Canadian Youth Business Foundation has its own unique Pay It Forward movement,” says CYBF Mentor in Residence, Linda Morana. “Every day, thousands of business mentors nurture and support the fantastic ideas and energy of Canada’s young entrepreneurs. This is great for the entrepreneurs, but mentors get so much out of it too.” CRITICAL

CYBF research finds that a solid mentoring relationship is critical to the success of nearly every business startup. Research shows that 88 per cent of entrepreneurs who have mentors survive in business, compared with only 50 per cent of those who do not. Many successful young entrepreneurs cite “quality, meaningful mentorship” as a driving force for their businesses. Mentoring increases their confidence, risk-taking and vital skills development. By paying it forward, you will also build a culture in Canada that supports entrepreneurship – and that’s good for business and good for the country.

Keeping it all in the family for the sake of customers Brian Turner

News - Ottawa, from a automotive shopper’s perspective is blessed with a retailer per capita rate that is one of the highest in North America with 65 manufacturers’ dealerships, all operating with solid financial footing under professional customerfocused management. The number of dealers has doubled since 1971. Auto retailer ownership here has undergone its own version of restructuring and the results are providing more security for car owners as well as increased selection and a more competitive market. A great example of how family involvement can improve client satisfaction and long term viability can be found under the Myers nameplate. The name Myers first became associated with automotive retailing and service in Ottawa in 1942. At the time Gordon Myers established Myers Motors as the successor to Ottawa’s first General Motors dealership. After thriving through a series of dedicated owners, Hank Mews, the current 48

president, took over in 1975. Hank Mews joined Myers in February, 1971, as general manager. He was born and grew up in St. John’s Newfoundland and after graduating from high school, his first job was as a salesperson with a Ford dealership in St. John’s. BASELINE AND MERIVALE

From there, being uncertain about what career path to follow, Hank moved to mainland Canada and over the next few years he tried his hand as a commercial pilot, as a life insurance salesperson and finally as a representative in a Toronto Advertising Agency. Hank piloted Myers Chev-Olds Cadillac at the corner of Baseline and Merivale by himself until sons Harry and Robert joined

Ottawa South News EMC - Thursday, June 5, 2014

the organization in the early 1990’s. They have held various management roles along the way and today are partners with Hank in all of the dealerships. They and their customers alike have benefited from examples lived and lessons passed down from their father. In the showroom, at the home dining table, or at the cottage, Harry and Robert were constantly exposed to Hank’s drive for success and his instruction. They have carried on Hank’s philosophy of providing superior customer satisfaction and the vision is to continue to evaluate opportunities for future growth. From early on, Hank Mews and his family realized that long term success would be dependent on providing outstanding customer service. They dedicated

much of their financial and human resources to building a reputation, one client at a time, of being competent, caring, and trustworthy. As a result, in a very competitive marketplace, Myers grew, their parts, service and collision repair departments flourished, and they quickly became recognized as one of General Motors’ top Canadian dealerships. They also learned that customers are most comfortable and loyal when dealing with a neighbourhood retailer that supports the community in an active partnership model. To serve the growing demand for local quality car retailers in growing outlying areas of the city, the Mews family opened Mews Chevrolet in Orleans in 1992. They quickly became a driving force in the burgeoning

Eastern city with a fastgrowing customer base and extended service hour’s right from the start. MOVING WEST

They moved west in 2003 by purchasing Elliott Chevrolet in Bell’s Corners and relaunching it as Chevy West. In 2005 they partnered with Keith Bean and amalgamated 2 great GM stores in Brockville into a gleaming 4-line GM store. They expanded outside the GM family with the addition of Myers Hyundai in 2008 in Ottawa West quickly earning Hyundai Canada’s top President’s Award of Merit for superior customer satisfaction ratings. Myers Volkswagen in Kanata, Myers Kanata Hyundai, Myers Orleans Nissan followed as

did their newest member of the dealership family; Myers Kemptville Chevrolet Buick GMC. Each store is guided by an experienced and dedicated team of professionals, all committed to Hank Mew’s philosophy of providing an exceptional experience to every customer whether they’re buying a $39 oil change service or a $75,000 luxury sedan. No one rests on the laurels of past successes or gets any slack because they’re family. Each store, every manager and department head, all of the friendly staff answers to their customers and in this way they are responsive and proactive to the specific and unique needs of the areas they represent. They are proud to serve and be part of their Ottawa and Eastern Ontario neighbourhoods. Every year, the Myers Automotive Group gives back generously through donations to youth development groups, local hospitals, and the United Way. With family leadership like this, it’s easy to understand why the auto retail industry in our region is the cream of the crop.

McArthur Road public school wants safety first Principal proposes closure of parking lot Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - R.E. Wilson Public School is looking at closing its parking lot in the morning and afternoon to protect students from the deluge of traffic created by parents dropping off and picking up their children. “It is really dangerous,” said the school’s principal, Cynthia Willman. “The cars pile up, (parents) park and walk their children to the door. There are near misses all the time.” On a typical school morning or afternoon, as many as four to five cars will try to pull into the lot at the same time to park while parents pick up their children, said Willman. A school of only 200 students from kindergarten to Grade 6, the lot is not built to contend to multiple parents driving in and parking, said

Willman. “It’s a very tiny lot; there really is just no room,” she said. For the principal the answer is a simple one -- close the parking lot during the morning and afternoon peak times. Audrey Hollywood has been a parent at the school for the past eight years and says the parking lot has always been a concern. Hollywood is the chairwoman of the parent council and added the group wants a permanent solution like closing the parking lot. “It’s the only way it could get better,” Hollywood said. But this is not the first time the school has proposed the closure of the parking lot as a permanent solution. Every time it is suggested, the proposal is met with opposition. “A lot of the parents get very angry when you suggest it,” Willman said. The principal said many other schools close off the parking lot at peak times to stop parents from driving in. “Manor Park Public School blocks off the lot, and parents

Principal Cynthia Willman and parent council chairwoman Audrey Hollywood of R.E. Wilson Public School propose to close the school’s parking lot during morning and afternoon drop offs to make the area safer for the school children. use side streets or park along the street instead,” Willman said. Willman and Hollywood said parents can simply learn to walk, ride or park on a side

street when bringing their children to school. “Something needs to change, this is the best solution,” Hollywood said. Because of the school’s

troubles, R.E. Wilson was chosen in 2011 as a candidate to work with Green Communities Canada. A national organization which promotes cycling

Wallace Beaton of Green Communities said that over and over again, the number one barrier for the school was the busy arterial road. In an effort to solve the issue, over the course of the three years, Beaton helped make it possible for the school to be eligible to receive new bicycle racks and implement new safety measures along the road. Since the project began a number of safety measures were put in place: • A crosswalk at the corner of McArthur and Brant Street • A marked school time speed zone of 40 kilometres per hour, from Belisle to Larouche streets • A school loading zone on McArthur Road’s inside, west-bound lane See SPEED, page 50

Speed still an issue near school Continued from page 49

Willman said the school loading zone is also meant to be the official kiss-and-say goodbye parking spot for parents. “It’s safe, it runs along the fencing to the school and connects directly to the paths leading into the school, but many parents still refuse to use it,” Willman said. Instead, many choose to fill the tiny, 15 parking spot lot. Hollywood said she has been shouted at when she has asked parents to move their cars, or mentioned the option to park on the road. All the recent measures taken have been appreciated Willman said, but she said speeds along McArthur continues to be an issue, the loading zone is ignored and the crosswalk light is typically ignored. “We had a police blitz where they handed out 40 tickets during the morning, but still people speed,” she said. Willman said she would like the city to properly mark the loading zone area with paint to make it more visible for cars driving along McArthur and said she hopes the closure of the lot would encourage more parents to park along the loading zone or on side streets and use the crosswalk more. The school has sought support from Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury, the Vanier Community Association, the school’s area superintendent and its trustee. Willman said if she gets the OK, she will begin the process to close the lot during peak times starting in the fall.

Cutting Cravings and Nighttime Eating….Naturally! As a nutritionist who has practiced in the weight loss world for over a decade, I have seen so many clients make the classic weight loss error - they start their day off well only not to finish it off as well. In other words, they eat a healthy breakfast and a balanced lunch, yet – the wheels tend to fall off the nutritional wagon at 3pm and on and food cravings/ sugar binges occur. What I can tell you for sure is that for weight loss purposes, you must finish your day off as well as you start it. However, if you do crave sweets in the afternoon or after dinner, trust me, this is not a sign that you are weak. Intense cravings are often a sign that your are “biochemically off” and are bouncing around your blood sugars (i.e. from eating too many refined flours or sugars). 50

It is also human nature that when stressed, tired, bored, emotional – we crave sweet! In order to break the cycle of sweet cravings and feel more in control, simply follow the tips below;

 Stay hydrated by drinking

water with lemon and/or sweet herbal teas to satisfy your craving.

Opt for 2 chocolaty Skinnychews. Skinnychews are decadent chews that are naturally sweetened, low in calories and contain 2 grams of inulin fiber per chew. Long lasting in your mouth and perfect for hunger and cravings (www.drjoey.com)!

 Do not go hungry. Make

sure to have a protein at

Ottawa South News EMC - Thursday, June 5, 2014

meals to fill you up. I recommend eating a hard-boiled egg, 2-3 slices of turkey or chicken, ½ cup of plain Greek yogurt or a water based protein smoothie helps tremendously.

 Keep cut up watermelon

in your fridge as a low calorie way to cut cravings naturally.

 Avoid foods that are high

on the glycemic index such as refined flours and sugars (cookies, crackers, bagels etc.). These foods will bounce around blood sugar and will heighten cravings.

 When a craving hits, distract yourself for 10-15 min. by cleaning the house, filing those papers, playing ball with your kids, walking

your pet, or running a fun errand with your spouse. The craving will soon pass!

 Get Your ZZZ’s. Sleep de-

privation and fatigue often lead to sugar and carbohydrate cravings.

By following the tips above, you will soon be able to avoid eating “off” in the afternoon and

evening thereby helping you lose weight, boost energy and feel your very best….naturally. Courtesy of www.drjoey.com

Since long before I ran for City Council in Capital Ward in 1991, people had been asking what we should do with Lansdowne Park. It was a historical landmark, on that everyone could agree. But should it be preserved as it is? Should it be renovated? Should it be torn down? These were some of the many questions that were asked about Lansdowne, without answers, from before my time as a Councillor right up until only a few years ago. It was clear that the status quo at Lansdowne was not sustainable. A crumbling stadium surrounded by a sea of asphalt was an eyesore for the city especially when the beautiful Aberdeen Pavilion sat in the middle of it. But what to do? This council inherited a plan that would see Lansdowne 0ARK TRANSFORMED INTO A MIXED USE FACILITY 4HE PLAN NEEDED work and we worked hard to not only improve it but also to get shovels in the ground and implement it so that years of indecision would be behind us. Some people raised concerns about our plan for Lansdowne and I agree that neither the process by which it came about nor the plan itself is perfect. But perfection is the enemy of getting things done. Our plan means a signiďŹ cant improvement and revitalization of Lansdowne and I am thrilled that it is almost complete. On July 18th we will welcome the Ottawa REDBLACKS to the #&, AT 4$ 0LACE FOR THEIR HOME OPENER 4HE LONG WAIT FOR #&, football to return to Ottawa is now over and I can’t wait to be there to cheer on our team as they push for the Grey Cup. 4$ 0LACE WILL ALSO PLAY HOST TO THE /TTAWA &URY SOCCER TEAM whose season is already underway as they do our city proud in the North American Soccer League. In August, we will open the urban park at east end of Lansdowne that will see three times more green space (18 acres) than was previously there, four times more trees, 7.2 kilometres of sidewalks and pathways, and ďŹ ve pieces of public art. Lansdowne Park had always been a misnomer because there had never been much park space in it.

It has been a long time coming but I am happy that Lansdowne Park will once again be a place that Ottawa residents can be proud of.

REAL ESTATE SIMPLIFIED

Simulation shows students dangers of drunk driving Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

News - Louis Riel high school had ambulances, police cars and fire trucks roar in on May 28 morning, as one student lay motionless across the hood of a car in the parking lot. The student-actor, part of a simulation for Grade 12 students, was eventually loaded into a hearse as the actress playing the drunk driver was breathalysed and put into a police car by uniformed officers. The students participated in a Toe Tag event, named after the tag that a coroner’s office would put on a deceased person’s foot to identify them. When the Grade 12 students came outside to witness the fake accident, two vehicles were in a mock collision, with a drunk driver in one car and two injured students and a deceased student in the other. The students were wearing makeup and had fake injuries and blood on their faces. After the students arrived, emergency services arrived, and extracted the students from the car. Students watched as student actor Maha Abdel-Fattah was given a breathalyser by the

police officer, and then informed she was being arrested for impaired driving. She was put into handcuffs and lead into a police cruiser. After she was taken away, the body of student Gustave Pinault-Masson was covered with a sheet and loaded into the hearse and driven away. The event was organized by the Blackburn Hamlet Optimist Club and the city’s Safer Roads Ottawa program. “We wanted to present it to the Grade 12 students before the after prom parties because well, kids will be kids,” said organized AnneMarie Philippe, from the Optimist Club. “We want to show them the drastic consequences.” She said each student would be given a toe tag with their name on it, to imitate what would happen at a morgue. After the event, students heard a presentation from MADD Canada from a father who lost his son in a drunk driving accident. BRIER DODGE/METROLAND “You never think it could actually happen; you’re blinded by seeing it,” said student Rose Student actor Gustave Pinault-Masson lies on the hood of a car, while pretending to have Daoud. “It affects us, especially when you know been killed in a drunk driving collision.

‘Super Sharrows’ coming to Bank Street Bridge Speed to change to 20 km/hr and vehicles must travel single file Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - A new single file designation for Bank Street Bridge aims to make cycling more safe and comfortable. Capital Coun. David Chernushenko said he believes he has found a decent compromise to designated bike lanes on the Bank Street Bridge. New “super sharrows,” lane markings reminding motorists they must share the road with cyclists, will be place on the outside lanes on the bridge this month. “The point is going to be either stay behind the cyclist or change lanes,” Chernushenko said. “We will see if this helps bring out more cyclists as well as have less cyclists using the sidewalk. If we see this change that will be how we know we have made it more safe.” With construction at Lansdowne Park, there is a temporary lane reduction. Northbound motorists are currently not supposed to pass cyclists, but Chernushenko said many do and the situation becomes more difficult as the northbound curbside lane over the Bank Street Bridge is currently closed

F

due to construction on the east side of Bank Street. The councillor said this has left many cyclists feeling squeezed out and not safe, and has led to some taking the sidewalk instead. To fix this, without creating designated bike lanes, all existing “Share the Road” signage on the Bank Street Bridge will be changed to “Single File”. Motorists are no longer allowed to share the space with cyclists and are instead expected to follow behind cyclists in single file. Also, speeds for the bridge will be reduced to 20 kilometres per hour. The bike “sharrows” will be visible on a green background and will be placed in the middle of the southbound curbside lane. Similar cycling markings exist on Cummings Bridge in Vanier. An avid cyclist himself, Chernushenko said although this is not as ideal as a segregated lane, this should help keep cyclists safe along this stretch of the road. To ensure motorists obey the new speed limit, Chernushenko said he will be placing a speed display board on the bridge. Once Lansdowne Park completes its construction in the fall, and all northbound lanes along the bridge are reopened, Chernushenko said the “super MICHELLE NASH/METROLAND sharrows” will be placed along that New ‘super sharrows’ will be painted on the Bank Street Bridge, similar to sharrows on Cummings Bridge. curbside lane too.
