Police to concentrate patrols in Herongate Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News – Police promises to immediately concentrate bicycle patrols in Herongate where nine bullets were fired
in broad daylight less than two weeks ago are cold comfort to some residents worried they could become caught in the middle of what they say is increased gun violence in their community. “I see it every day – crimes, the guns, drug dealers,� said Marie, who lives in Ottawa Community Housing in nearby Heatherington. “I’m just scared.

out,� said Marie, who withheld her last name for safety reasons. “I don’t feel safe. That’s why I came here – to get some answers.� But police officials downplayed crime in the neighbourhood during a community safety meeting at the Heron Road Community Centre Thursday night (July 3) that was organized by Ottawa South MPP John Fraser. Violent crime, property crime and drug trafficking have decreased by two per cent based on statistics compiled over the last three years, said acting Insp. Mark Patterson, who oversees the Ottawa Police intelligence, drugs and guns and gangs sections. “We don’t have gang members that are going around randomly shooting at different locations and addresses,� he said. “We live in a safe city.�

Brookfield students take Bluesfest stage with Foreigner Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Arts – Eighteen Brookfield High School students have a new favourite song after performing on stage with classic-rock band Foreigner at RBC Royal Bank Bluesfest on Tues-
day night, July 8. The school’s World Voices Choir was selected in April to sing the chorus of Foreigner’s hit, I Want to Know What Love Is, on the Bell stage at LeBreton Flats “It’s my new favourite song. It’s my students’ new favourite song
too,” said Melanie Reeks, who directed Brookfield High School’s World Voices Choir over the past year. “It was a very cool opportunity that we couldn’t pass up. I mean, how often does this ever happen? You get to perform with a profes-
sional group and it’s a memory that these students will have forever,” said the Barrhaven resident, who planned to watch the performance from backstage. Eighteen students out of 35 were able to take part in the second last song of the band’s set in front of what they expected would be their biggest crowd to date. Earlier this year World Voices Choir sang for five theatre schools in Ottawa as well as during the Carleton Memorial United Church’s potluck supper. When Foreigner’s call came in to peg the Brookfield choir to perform with the band, Reeks thought it was either a joke or a completely different organization interesting in booking the choir. “The school office administrator called me and … she said, ‘there’s someone on the phone and they say they’re from Foreigner. I don’t know if it’s real, but you might want to take it,’” Reeks recalled with a laugh. “When (John Lappen) started talking about Bluesfest and the Grammys I was like, ‘This might be
the real deal,’” she said. During many of the band’s tour stops over the past six years, they choose a local school choir to take the stage with them. Just prior to taking the stage Tuesday, the Brookfield students sold Foreigner CDs to help raise money for MusiCares through the Grammy Foundation in support of music education in schools across North America. “I always like to say, as long as there is a Foreigner, we’ll be having a choir sing with the guys and we’ll be donating the money they raised back to the Grammy Foundation,” said John Lappen, Foreigner’s Las Vegas-based marketing director. “It’s close to $1 million they’ve raised, so that’s a lot of CDs they’ve sold over six and a half years.” It’s a sad state that many schools don’t have established music programs, which is why MusiCares plays such a critical role in supporting the arts, he said.

They’re closing in on MDMA or ecstasy – that style of pill.” The two cases serve as a tragic reminder that the next drug you take could end your life, police said. “There’s always that chance,” Benoit said, adding that there have been past instances in the city in which people have consumed bad batches of narcotics with lethal results. “You never know,” he said. “One person could be fine and the other person could be having very bad symptoms from it.” “Even if people are trying out drugs, they’re not even sure what they are taking,” he cautioned. “Even if they are exploring, there’s always that chance that there are bad side effects and this is one of them … that resulted in a death. “And that’s what people should actually think about when they’re (making) these choices,” said Benoit.

News – A 19-year-old woman is dead and a 20-year-old Ottawa woman remains in hospital in an induced coma after police believe they consumed drugs at separate rave events in the city around Canada Day. Both women are believed to have consumed methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) or ecstasy in pill form, which is an illegal man-made synthetic drug. The 20-year-old, who was the first to fall prey to the effects of the narcotic, was still in an induced coma on Monday after suffering liver problems. A 19-year-old woman who is from outside Ottawa also went to hospital after suffering an adverse drug reaction, but died hours later. It was still unclear Monday morning whether the women consumed a bad batch of drugs, or suffered a reaction after mixing the narcotics with alcohol or other drugs. “It could have been also a side effect,” said Ottawa police spokesman Const. Chuck Benoit. “Some people are allergic to certain things so it could have been that as well. You don’t know who made it and you don’t know exactly what’s in it.” Police do not suspect the women were victims of foul play. “They’re victims of buying drugs and (making) their choices in taking (the drugs),” Benoit said. “There’s no suspicion (of) somebody forcing the drugs into them.” Officers with the Ottawa police central district are investigating the case involving death, while east district investigators are leading the case involving the Ottawa woman. The separate incidents occurred between June 29 and July 1. Police are neither disclosing the victims’ identities nor when and where the drugs were consumed. Benoit also declined to reveal at which hospitals the women sought treatment. “(Investigators) didn’t want to specify the (rave) venue because the venue had no relation to what happened, although the drugs were bought and taken at one of these events that was going on,” Benoit said, adding that it is possible the other woman brought the drugs with her from outside the city. Investigators are now waiting for the

Ottawa South News - Thursday, July 10, 2014
Moms hope to make public breastfeeding a regular sight Hundreds of mothers celebrate public breastfeeding at Vincent Massey Park during second-annual celebration Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News - Moms lounged at Vincent Massey Park watching their older children play nearby with their dads â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a typical sight at any park. Many openly nursed their babies, which organizers of a special public breastfeeding celebration held on Saturday, July 5, hope will also become a typical sight, sooner rather than later. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just to bring normalcy back to breastfeeding,â&#x20AC;? organizer Shawna Rioux said of the message behind the second-annual event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want people to pass by and not even notice because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s normal.â&#x20AC;? About 220 people, many of them children, dads and many moms nursing their babies â&#x20AC;&#x201C; some of whom came from as far away as Brockville â&#x20AC;&#x201C; spent the afternoon in the public setting. It was a far cry from the 50 people who attended the inaugural event, which was organized in just four weeks and held at Majorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hill Park
in downtown Ottawa last August. The success of the second-annual gathering is indicative of a huge amount of support for public breastfeeding in Ottawa, said Rioux, president and founder of Breasts Out for Ontario Babies, or BOOB, a new organization that raises awareness about breastfeeding in public. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really want to make sure people know that this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t supposed to be uncomfortable,â&#x20AC;? Rioux said, adding that many moms still only breastfeed in their cars, in public washrooms, or only when they are in the privacy of their own home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really did start that way,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding that when her son, who is now 17 months, was born, she found it difďŹ cult covering up in public each time she needed to feed her baby. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was hard. I did go around covering for the ďŹ rst little while and then I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You know what? I really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care anymore.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just more work for me and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting mad because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pushing the blanket off.â&#x20AC;? Through BOOB, Rioux hopes to
ADAM KVETON/METROLAND
Hundreds participated in the second-annual Breasts Out for Ontario Babies event at Vincent Massey Park on July 5, where moms nursed their children in public to bring normalcy back to breastfeeding. educate more people that women have the right to breastfeed anytime, anywhere under the Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Charter of Rights and Freedoms. There have been recent incidents in Ottawa in which breastfeeding mothers were the target of insensitive or harassing comments because they
were feeding their babies in a public setting, she said. She pointed to the recent example of a Starbucks barista employee offering a nursing mother an apology and a free drink coupon after another customer complained about the mom breastfeeding her baby in public.
The baristaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supportive response prompted Rioux to drop by and thank him for his support. The negative reaction of the other customer serves as a reminder that more awareness and education is needed, reason why Riouxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s group is working hard to support women and helping them feel more comfortable with something so natural. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To raise â&#x20AC;Ś public awareness on public breastfeeding is very rare, which is why I felt there was a need for it,â&#x20AC;? she said of the work she and other moms are doing through BOOB. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge following of breastfeeding in Ottawa.â&#x20AC;? Rioux is seriously considering once again holding the third-annual public breastfeeding celebration in Vincent Massey Park, as well as taking her campaign to Toronto or Montreal to spread the positive message. The goal is to eventually have similar events take place every year throughout Ontario. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really believe in what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing and we know weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making a difference,â&#x20AC;? said Rioux. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I mean Saturday was the perfect example.â&#x20AC;?

Notice of Proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-Law Amendments 2014 Zoning Review In accordance with the Planning Act and Section 5.2.3 of the Official Plan for the City of Ottawa, notice is hereby provided that Zoning By-law Amendment and Official Plan Amendment proposals have been initiated by the Planning and Growth Management Department of the City of Ottawa. The following City wards are affected by the proposed amendments: Ward 1 Orleans, Ward 2 Innes, Ward 3 Barrhaven, Ward 4 Kanata North, Ward 7 Bay, Ward 8 College, Ward 9 Knoxdale-Merivale, Ward 10 Gloucester-Southgate, Ward 11 Beacon Hill-Cyrville, Ward 12 Rideau-Vanier, Ward 13 Rideau-Rockcliffe, Ward 14 Somerset, Ward 15 Kitchissippi, Ward 16 River, Ward 17 Capital, Ward 18 Alta Vista, Ward 22 Gloucester-South Nepean and Ward 23 Kanata South. The purpose of the proposed Zoning By-law amendments is to implement policies in the Official Plan that specify minimum and maximum building heights, require minimum densities, create “active” street frontages and that permit a broad range of land use. The proposed amendments affect land designated in the Official Plan as Traditional Mainstreet (TM), Arterial Mainstreet (AM) and Mixed-Use Centre (MUC) / Town Centre (TC) and that are located within the 2014 Zoning Review Phase 2 boundaries which can be viewed at (ottawa.ca/zoningreview). The proposed amendment to implement density requirements affects the Central Area, all Mixed Use Centres / Town Centres and all Arterial Mainstreets save and except for the St. Joseph Boulevard AM and Robertson Road AM. The effects of the proposed Zoning By-law Amendments for the Traditional Mainstreet areas (File No. D0202-14-0062, D02-02-14-0064, D02-02-14-0065, D02-02-14-0067, D02-02-14-0068, D02-02-14-0070, D02-02-140074 and D02-02-14-0078) generally are to rezone select properties to broaden the mix of permitted land uses, permit building heights of up to six storeys and, for some locations, implement zoning standards that create “active street” frontages. The effects of the proposed Zoning By-law Amendments for the Arterial Mainstreet areas (File No. D02-0214-0063, D02-02-14-0066, D02-02-14-0069, D02-02-14-0071, D02-02-14-0072, D02-02-14-0075, D02-02-140076, D02-02-14-0077 and D02-02-14-0079) generally are to rezone select properties to broaden the mix of permitted land uses, remove the requirement of a maximum Floor Space Index, permit buildings of up to nine storeys in height and, for some locations, establish new standards for automobile-related uses such as gas bars and automobile dealerships and implement zoning standards that create active street frontages. The effects of the proposed Zoning By-law Amendments for the Mixed-Use Centre / Town Centre areas (File No. D02-02-14-0060, D02-02-14-0073 and D02-02-14-0061) generally are to rezone select properties to broaden the mix of permitted land uses, remove the requirement of a maximum Floor Space Index, permit up to 12 storey buildings and, for some locations, require a minimum building height of four storeys. The further effect of all of the above-noted amendments is to foster these areas’ evolution into more pedestrian-, cyclist- and transit-friendly environments, as well as to ensure greater compatibility with abutting neighbourhoods and land uses. The effect of the Zoning-by-law Amendment with respect to minimum densities (File No. D02-02-14-0088) is to implement the minimum density requirements in Figure 2.3 of the Official Plan by establishing a Density Index, which involves the addition of two density calculation tables and a map to the zoning bylaw. This amendment is also subject to a proposed Official Plan Amendment (File No. D01-01-14-0017) to specify the circumstances under which a density ratio may be amended in the Zoning By-law. The effects of the proposed Official Plan Amendments are to amend the Secondary Plans (SP) affecting portions of the Billings Bridge MUC, Main Street TM and Merivale Road AM (File No. D01-01-14-0012, D01-01-14-0013 and D01-01-14-0014) and generally include: for the Billings Bridge area an amendment to the Confederation Heights Secondary Plan to remove references to Floor Space Index as a zoning tool to regulate height; for the Old Ottawa East area an amendment to the Old Ottawa East Secondary Plan to remove the requirement of development triggered zoning bylaw amendments to obtain Traditional Mainstreet zoning; and for the Merivale Road Secondary Plan changes to ensure the Secondary Plan policies do not conflict with the Official Plan minimum density requirements in Section 2.2.2.5. The land to which proposed Zoning By-law Amendment File Numbers D02-02-14-0061, D02-02-14-0067, D02-02-14-0069 and D02-02-14-0088 are subject to proposed Official Plan Amendment File Numbers D0101-14-0012, D01-01-14-0013, D01-01-14-0014 and D01-01-14-0017, respectively. Where a proposed Zoning By-law amendment is reliant upon the policies introduced by Official Plan Amendment 150, it will not come into effect until such time as the applicable policies introduced by Official Plan Amendment 150 also come into effect. To review additional information and materials related to the proposed amendments, please contact the undersigned planner, or go to Ottawa.ca/devapps and input the File Number in the “Search” criteria. Information about the 2014 Zoning Review and the proposed amendments can also be found at ottawa.ca/zoningreview. The City of Ottawa would like to receive comments regarding the proposed amendments. Please forward comments to the undersigned planner via mail, telephone, facsimile or e-mail by Friday, August 15, 2014. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting (meeting date, time and location to be determined) or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the before the proposed official plan amendment is adopted and the proposed by-law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Council of the City of Ottawa to the Ontario Municipal Board. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting (meeting date, time and location to be determined) or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the proposed official plan amendment is adopted and before the proposed by-law is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are reasonable grounds to do so.

Proceeds from sales of Foreigner CDs during the band’s inaugural performance at the RBC Royal Bank Bluesfest on July 8 will go to the Grammy Foundation’s MusiCares, which supports music education in schools across North America.
Band to give high-school choir financial donation Continued from page 2
“We feel the arts, along with the sciences and math and English, really makes for a well-rounded education,” Lappen said. “When governments start to make education cuts they always start with the arts. Who’s to say a class in theatre or dance or film or chorus is any less important than a class in calc and algebra.” Foreigner is also giving Brookfield’s music department a $500 donation, money that will likely be used to purchase new sheet music, and to repair and purchase instruments. “Quite often when things need to be cut, they tend to cut the arts programs, which is unfortunate because the arts really create well-rounded individuals and it has shown that music education does help students in other areas in school and in their life,” Reeks
said. The memory of performing with a wellknown 1980s rock band will stay with students for years to come, said Reeks, whose one-year contract at Brookfield is coming to an end. “This is kind of my big final send-off with these students, so that’s kind of fun,” said Reeks, who will go on to teach music at Hillcrest High School in September. She hopes the recent experience will encourage the students to keep up their passion for singing. “I’ve always said that I know my students won’t all go on to major in music, but if I can at least instill in them an appreciation for the arts and for music in general so they can at least be life-long supporters of the arts and of music then that’s really important and I’ve done my job,” Reeks said.

City lacks plan to reduce crime in south Ottawa To the editor:
There is a crime problem in south Ottawa. Those of us who live here have know it for years. The drugs, thefts, last October’s violent robberies, and the most recent shootings only serve to emphasize the growing concern amongst residents. The police say they are working on it. Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans has held numerous public safety meetings. All have amounted to lots of talk with the same refrain: “email my office and we can discuss it more.” What is absent is an action plan. Is the problem political? Is this a resource issue? What is preventing the police from
tackling the crime in south Ottawa? A 2013 report published by the Ottawa police claimed that Gloucester-Southgate (Ward 10) saw an abnormal drop of calls to the police services hotline. The city average was 4 per cent but Ward 10 witnessed a whopping 17 per cent drop. What accounts for this statistical anomaly? Did the area suddenly get safer? Or as is more likely, did people just stop calling when nothing changed. I’ve experienced this lack of a plan, this neglect regarding crime in our area. Almost two years ago I took Mrs. Deans advice and emailed her office. I went one step further and even I held a meeting in my home, invited my neighbours
to attend. The meeting came about due to the drug trafficking that we had been witnessing in our area for months. We invited the community constable and the councilor to discuss solutions to resolve our problem. During the meeting Mrs. Deans repeatedly exclaimed that she was “shocked” and “had no idea” that this was happening. The constable, saw it differently, and recognized that both the councillor and the police had known of the problem for the past two years. That was two year ago. As you can see we are now into year four. To drive the issue home, at the end of the evening as I sat with the community constable, my neighbor called

Mrs. Deans’ answer to solving the crime issue in Ward 10 is to have a hold a reactionary public safety meeting every three-four months. No plan, no action, just more phone numbers to call and more public safety pamphlets.

Trash woes get timely boost
T
he cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan to divert more waste from landfills received a welcome boost last month after it won a long-fought battle with Orgaworld, the company hired to process municipal organic waste. Ever since the contract was negotiated in 2009, the issue over who is responsible for handling leaf and yard waste has been in dispute. Orgaworld argued leaf and yard waste did not fall within the parameters of the contract, which was renegotiated in 2012. An arbitrator dismissed the claim last month, ruling that the city was entitled to send all of its leaf and yard waste for processing even during peak seasons. Orgaworldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10.2-hectare site on Hawthorne Road is approved to process a total of 1,200 tonnes of organic waste (residential, commercial, institutional or industrial) per day, or 150,000 tonnes per year. Under the contract, the city is responsible for providing 80,000 tonnes of organic waste per year.
The amount of organics collected by the city jumped from 67,000 tonnes in 2012 to 83,000 tonnes in 2013. Good work Ottawa recyclers. However, Orgaworld only accepted 69,000 tonnes, or 83 per cent of organic waste collected in 2013, leaving the municipality to find other ways to process the remainder. In effect, the taxpayer was taking the hit, paying twice for the processing of leaf and yard waste. The arbitratorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision translates into a big win for the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taxpayers, who will no longer be expected to foot the bill for the separate handling of leaf and yard waste. It also provides a much-needed victory for the city in its goal to increase waste diversion, meaning less pressure on existing landfills and less need for new ones. Keep in mind, the city only began collecting organic waste in 2010, and the arbitratorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision on the Orgaworld contract provides welcome encouragement for the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts to reduce its landfill footprint.

Queensway expansion continues unabated
T
his is the time of year when your thoughts may turn to driving out of town on vacation, to the centre of town to watch the Redblacks or they may be turning to wondering exactly where that downtown tunnel is right now. Whichever direction youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re driving, there is always one question at the back of your mind: When are they going to get the Queensway finished? It feels like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been years that there has been that 80 km/h limit from Kanata west. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seems like years since all that work started around the Vanier Parkway exit. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because it has been years. And now the work continues to the east, and you need a scorecard to know which on-ramps and off-ramps are closed on any given day.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town Part of this is normal. Summer is construction season in the capital, and there is always something going on. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re used to that. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of the national fabric, although not mentioned on those Canada Day lists of 147 things we love about our country. But all this Queensway stuff is puzzling. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been going on so long weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve sort of forgotten what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about. In case youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve forgotten, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about widening the road. That means adding lanes.

west, there are going to be as many as eight in places. Other parts will go from four lanes to six. Someday, it will all be done, all the machinery will be gone, all the orange signs, and we will go back to normal. Although normal wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem like normal, having lived the other way for so many years. But we are adaptable. Just try us. The next question is whether our troubles will all be over when construction is completed on the Queensway and we have lots of new lanes. The answer is: probably not. This prediction is in line with a theory you have probably encountered: that the traffic expands to fill the space allotted to it.

Sometimes there is temporary relief. A few years ago there was a terrible bottleneck approaching Kanata where the 416 emptied into the westbound Queensway. Expansion fixed that up nicely, but clogging further along was bound to happen. So now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting more lanes. Some experts of the defeatist stripe approach the problem by counselling that nothing be done: Let the situation worsen so much that eventually people are forced out of their cars and onto public transit. But if you look hard enough, you can probably find virtues in the endless construction cycle. For one thing, it creates jobs. Think how much purchasing power EDITORIAL MANAGING EDITOR: 4HERESA &RITZ

How to determine if you’re a millennial
I
was born on the cusp of Generation X and Y, the latter also known as Millennials. Sometimes I question into which group I fall, as I have some stereotypical tendencies of each. After spending a weekend camping with relatives a few years younger than me, however, I’ve determined that I am firmly in the Generation X camp, also known as “the older, wiser, more established cousin.” Maybe you’re like me and you’ve often felt unsure whether you (or a loved one) is best categorized as a Gen X or a Millennial. After my intense research of camping and having my Millennial cousins stay at my house for a few days afterward, I’ve come up with this handy checklist, with a very catchy and original title: “You Know you’re a Milliennial when...” 1. You have a university education but find yourself unemployed, underemployed or working multiple jobs in the service industry to make ends meet. 2. You consider midnight to be an early bedtime. 3. You have lived with your parents rent-free for a month or more within the last five years (possibly multiple times or continuously). 4. You find it easy to accept rides, money and gifts from people, including from complete strangers that offer you drinks and/or cab fare. 5. Your parents buy you necessity items like underwear and winter coats for Christmas, birthdays and other occasions, like when they’re at Costco doing their weekly grocery shopping. 6. Your credit card is maxed out, but Saturday at the mall is still considered an acceptable leisure activity, as are boat cruises, cross-country road trips and flights to the furthest corners of the Earth on a regular basis (ie: Australia). 7. A shot of tequila is part of an evening of “moderate drinking.” 8. You stay fee-free with relatives when you’re on vacation, sleep until noon, eat only when food is on offer, then take a nap around 4

Capital Muse p.m. and repeat. 9. Time, schedules and routines are foreign concepts. 10. You own an iPhone, an iPad and an iPod, even though one can do the work of all three. 11. You can text, operate a tablet and hold a conversation with real, live humans without missing a beat. 12. Your phone is your default camera, watch, alarm clock and music machine. 13. You rely on your GPS to get to the grocery store, even though it’s frequently helped you to get lost. You can’t find your way home on a paper map because you don’t own one. In fact, you’ve never seen one. 14. Flip-flops are considered an acceptable form of footwear for all occasions, even for the office or walking for hours around a foreign city. Of course, Millennials do have a lot of positive qualities as well. For one, their precarious job situations have left them more open to risk, which means they can innovate like nobody’s business. They tend to be inherently optimistic. When their GPS fails for the millionth time, they just make their way to the next shot of tequila without blinking. And they instinctively know how to “fix” any technical failure in your life, like loading songs into your six-year-old iPod. Best of all, they make you feel young, at least for an evening, as they offer you a “moderate” tequila shot and keep you up until way past your bedtime, which in my case is about 9:30 p.m.

Support network in need of volunteer drivers to help disabled Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News - By simply getting behind the wheel of his car, Bob Chaput has quietly become a driving force for positive change for people in need across Ottawa. For years, the Elmvale Acres volunteer driver has been giving people rides to medical appointments through the Canadian Cancer Society, bringing tasty treats to residents of St. Patrick’s Home, or giving people who live in his building a much-needed lift in his trusty car. “It makes me feel great because I did my duty,” the retiree said. “I like being busy all day.” For the past four years, Chaput has also become an integral part of a network of people who make a difference in the life of a Hunt Club woman who is physically disabled, as part of Citizen Advocacy’s Lifetime Networks program. Three times a month he drives the woman, who wishes to remain anonymous for pri-
vacy reasons, to medical appointments and social outings since she is unable to drive and use public transit. “He’s the go-to guy. He’d never let you down,” said Maria Redpath, community engagement co-ordinator with Citizen Advocacy, an Ottawabased charitable organization that has supported people with disabilities since 1974. “If Bob said he was going to do it, he’d do it.” But the 75-year-old can’t do it alone. For that reason, Lifetime Networks has put a call out for volunteer drivers to help improve the woman’s quality of life. There are already about eight people in her support network, many of them family members or friends, such as Chaput. That’s how the Lifetime Networks program works. Through the program, trained facilitators such as Norma Nissenbaum are assigned to help people with physical challenges, intellectual disabilities or developmental delays form a network of friends,

a facilitator on a yearly basis. There are currently about a dozen families, from Stittsville and Richmond to downtown Ottawa and east to Orléans that
pay for the service, which has been in existence in the city for 20 years. “It’s a growing program,” said Redpath, adding that facilitators are currently also needed to help out families in the Glebe and Stittsville. “As an able-bodied person you take for granted that you have a personal support network, you have your friends,” she said. “But if somebody is disabled they can be isolated, and only have people in their lives who are either paid are paid to be in their lives, or just their families.” In addition to drivers, people can volunteer to help the Hunt Club woman in other ways, such as accompanying her to shops or social outings, or making her food that can be frozen for future meals. A new volunteer recently began helping her water her garden. “They don’t have to drive to be part of the network,” said Nissenbaum, who has been the woman’s facilitator for about a year.

Man shot twice refusing to co-operate with police Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News - A 21-year-old man who had been shot in each leg in the early morning hours of July 1 has revealed next to nothing about the shooting that landed him in hospital. Ottawa police guns and gangs officers were called in after the man was dropped off at the General campus of the Ottawa Hospital with gunshot wounds at about 3:30 a.m. He is refusing to provide police with details on the shoot-
ing, including where it took place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe it might be in the Overbrook area where this happened, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not sure,â&#x20AC;? said Sgt. Mike Saunders, with the guns-and-gangs unit, which investigates shootings in the city. If officers knew where the gun violence had taken place, they could at least attempt to access video surveillance in the neighborhood to determine who shot the man, Saunders said. Police donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet know what
type of gun was used to shoot the man, who is expected to make a full recovery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping to retrieve a bullet later on, but we have no scene so thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no shell casings or anything yet,â&#x20AC;? Saunders said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for.â&#x20AC;? Investigators are now turning to the public for help. However, Saunders recognizes that the sound of gunshots may have been mistaken for the sound of fireworks, which had been going off in communities around Ottawa
in the lead-up to Canada Day festivities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always the challenge on holidays,â&#x20AC;? Saunders said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess just with that timeframe, if (the public) did hear sounds around that time they can give us a call to try and narrow down where this occurred.â&#x20AC;? While the victim is not cooperating, police have since learned his name. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s known to police,â&#x20AC;? Saunders said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not under investigation, just a victim.â&#x20AC;? Acting Staff Sgt. Ken Bryden, who oversees the po-
lice guns and gangs section, said that because very little is unknown about this shooting, it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet be linked to a similar shooting in ByWard Market in the early morning hours of June 22. In that case, police responded to multiple reports of gunfire near 171 George St. at 2:32 a.m. A male victim had been shot once in each of his upper thighs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; injuries considered non-life threatening â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and was taken to the Civic campus of the Ottawa Hospital. The victim is also keeping
Canlok Stone
mum on the incident, but the guns and gangs unit believes the shooting is the result of gang activity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have nothing to report that they are connected,â&#x20AC;? said Bryden, adding that police are confident that both shootings were targeted acts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are not random, but to put the pieces of the puzzle together we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that yet, especially with the most recent one (on July 1),â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The most recent one is proving to be extremely difficult at this point.â&#x20AC;?

dressing.” John Rogers also remains skeptical about police crime statistics that he said don’t reflect what residents are seeing and experiencing. “In the last eight months there’s been six major crimes, four involving shootings,” said Rogers, who caught the June 17 shooting on his home security cameras. He has since turned over the footage to the police guns and gangs squad. Residents immediately reacted by brainstorming ideas, such as the removal of shrubbery along a fence line in the neighbourhood, among other changes that could deter criminal activity. “We’d like more lighting and we were hoping for cameras, but they say statistically it doesn’t make a difference,” said Rogers, who has lived in Herongate for eight years. Still, his wife Janice Affleck, who regularly sees crimes, such as drug deals, committed near her home, said the meeting is a step in the right direction. “I feel like the lines of communication have been opened,” she said following the meeting.
But several residents, including Lucas Wozniak who lives close to where two males open fire on each other near Cedarwood Drive on June 17, said those statistics don’t align with what they are seeing day in and day out on their streets. “Obviously, the fact that we’re having this kind of meeting is very indicative of a serious problem and of a growing problem,” said Wozniak, who has lived in Herongate for 10 years. “This isn’t ‘all of a sudden we’ve got a problem here.’ This has been going on a long time.” He hoped an action plan would be presented at the meeting. Instead, he said residents were given suggestions on who to call in different situations as well as services that can be accessed, information he says he can readily access online. “Tell me what we’re doing, how’s the city reacting to this, what’s changing, why is this violence continuing. We didn’t hear any of that today,” said Wozniak. Marie said while police appear to be doing what they can, the discussion at the meeting was “just window

Roger Mandeville, who lives in Herongate, said he and his neighbours want to feel safe, but questioned how often police patrol his neighbourhood during a safety meeting at the Heron Gate Community Centre on July 3. Police say they plan to concentrate patrols in the community in the wake of recent gun violence.

Residents urged to call 911 every time Continued from page 15
The meeting drew about 50 people, including residents, police and representatives from several community groups, including Crime Prevention Ottawa, South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre, youth outreach workers with the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa and Somali organizations. Herongate residents also learned at the meeting they may be approached this summer to take part in focus groups to identify concerns, possible solutions and existing services in an effort to help address safety in the community. The project will be led by the South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre, and funded by a grant from Ottawa Crime Prevention. A plan is expected to be developed out of the initiative. Herongate resident Cynthia Jolly said she too would welcome increased police patrols, but hoped police would identify places in her neighbourhood where gang members hang out, that residents can avoid. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to limit your life,â&#x20AC;? replied Nancy Worsfold, executive director of Crime Prevention Ottawa, a local municipal board that brings together organizations, such as the United Way, police and school boards, to promote safety. But Jolly, whose garage became a safe haven for three residents during the recent
shoot-out, said people already steer clear of certain spots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without cameras and without knowing, we all naturally do because the (safety) mechanisms arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there yet,â&#x20AC;? Jolly said, and suggested a map detailing where each of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 18 shootings have taken place this year would help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t alter your habits,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a probability,â&#x20AC;? Jolly said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If this is where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s occurring, then we should be able to know where to safely avoid that.â&#x20AC;? But while Patterson said gang members operate throughout the city, and are transient in nature, acting Staff Sgt. Ken Bryden, head of the guns and gangs unit, said there are two distinct â&#x20AC;&#x153;hard coreâ&#x20AC;? gangs in the city. Members or associates identify themselves as either the Bloods, which are known to operate in the west end of the city, or the Crips, a larger entity that does business in southeast Ottawa. And while more criminals in the city are carrying guns, police are not seeing a spike in shootings in Ottawa this year compared to last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We see a higher rate of shootings in the summer months and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure everybody can appreciate thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more gang activity within summer months because of more gang members that go out,â&#x20AC;? Patterson said. One solution can be found in the exam-
ple of Ledbury-Banff, a formerly troubled neighbourhood that is now â&#x20AC;&#x153;ďŹ&#x201A;ourishingâ&#x20AC;? compared to a few years ago thanks to a collective effort by police, social agencies and residents, said Patterson. While police said ofďŹ cers regularly patrol Herongate, some frustrated residents said they have only seen uniformed ofďŹ cers there in recent weeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we talk about a good use of our resources you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see a ďŹ re truck driving around looking for ďŹ re, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see an ambulance looking for sick people,â&#x20AC;? said Coun. Eli El-Chantiry, chair of the police services board, who attended the meeting on behalf of councillors Peter Hume, whose ward includes Herongate, and Diane Deans. In response to concerns about the closure of the Herongate community police centre, El-Chantiry said these centres donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make neighbourhoods safer. The key to proactively improving safety in the neighbourhood is picking up the phone, he said. Residents are urged to dial 911 for crimes in progress, and report suspicious activity to investigators so they can better focus their efforts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we are looking for is your help. We need you to make the right call,â&#x20AC;? ElChantiry said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just go alone and be in every corner of the city.â&#x20AC;?

Donations to the Ottawa Public Library I am pleased to announce that the Greenboro Library has reopened. The temporary closure was part of the branch retroďŹ t to add a new service point and radio-frequency identiďŹ cation (RFID) technology to improve customer service, reduce line up times, and improve inventory control. A quick reminder to residents that OPL gratefully accepts donations of books, DVDs and other physical materials to its collection and to support the library. Donations are accepted at each of the Libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 33 locations and 25 bookmobile stops. Donated books should be in good condition and should not include textbooks, encyclopaedias or dictionaries. Popular materials in high demand or unique titles are often added to branch collections to decrease waiting lists and improve availability to customers. Other titles are donated to the Friends of the Ottawa Public Library; the proceeds generated from these book sales are then donated to OPL to enhance its programs and services. Lane reductions planned during Hunt Club Road Construction As of July 7, there will be off-peak and overnight lane reductions along Hunt Club Road, between the Airport Parkway and Bank Street. These lane reductions are required to undertake construction that will improve transportation and mobility for residents in the area. A temporary pathway will be provided for pedestrians and cyclists while a majority of the work is underway. When required, a cycling and pedestrian detour will be in place, and signage will be posted. Two transit stops are being removed at Hunt Club Road and Bridle Path Drive and a temporary transit stop will replace these and will be located to the east of Bridle Path Drive (please note this location may vary throughout the project to ensure accessibility). New cycling lanes will be built on Hunt Club Road between the Airport Parkway and Bank Street. A new westbound bus lane will be constructed from Bank Street to the Transitway entrance and an eastbound bus lane from the Airport Parkway to Mac Street. Safety modiďŹ cations to the intersection of Hunt Club Road and Bridle Path Drive and DazĂŠ Street, including the realignment of Bridle Path Drive and the installation of a trafďŹ c camera will also occur. Work is expected to be completed in November 2014. Opening of the Russell Boyd Splash Pad I am excited to announce that the new Splash Pad in Russell Boyd Park located at 1735 St. Bernard St. is now complete and ready for public use! Residents will be able to stay cool and enjoy hours of water play fun each day from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. I will be hosting an ofďŹ cial opening on July 22nd from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. I look forward to celebrating this new facility with the many families in the Blossom Park community. Stay tuned for event details!

Second suspected Herongate shooter likely also shot: police Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News - Police have reason to believe a second man allegedly involved in a daring daytime shooting in the Herongate neighbourhood last month may also have been shot. Two men opened ďŹ re on each other as they ran toward the 2800-block of Cedarwood Drive from Heron Road on June 17. Police were called at 5:21 p.m., but by the time they arrived one of the shooters likely ďŹ&#x201A;ed the scene in a taxi cab, leaving behind another man with a gunshot wound to his
forehead. That man, who is known to police, is still in hospital receiving treatment, but now investigators say the shooter who left the scene may also have suffered a gunshot wound. A 40-calibre handgun was recovered by police at the scene, in addition to several bullet casings for that weapon and as well as for a 9-millimetre gun, which was never found. Eyewitness reports reveal the other shooter may have been injured at the scene. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a gunshot or not â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m presuming it is â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but he did suffer some sort of injury,â&#x20AC;? said acting Staff Sgt.

That could prove useful for investigators hoping to solve the case, Bryden explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of course, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve put out a broadcast to all the local hospitals to report to us, which they are very good at doing, if somebody comes in with a gunshot wound,â&#x20AC;? he said. Police are not yet prepared to release a description of the man they say is a person of interest, rather than a suspect at this stage in the investigation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will be releasing, once we have it, a description of the second shooter-slash-victim because we do believe the second guy was shot as well,â&#x20AC;? Bryden said. Investigators continue to examine video surveillance taken from the taxi cab the man rode away in as well as from the Dairy Queen on Heron Road where police say the two men appeared to be hanging out as friends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have additional information that came in so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still trying to decipher exactly who is who in the video and what their role was, if any, in the incident itself,â&#x20AC;? Bryden said. Investigators are also working to determine if the incident is gang-related. As for the other shooter who was hospitalized, Bryden said his injuries are â&#x20AC;&#x153;extensive.â&#x20AC;?

Unicycle stolen from world competitor
! % 0 9 o T p U e v a S
Plans to compete later this month Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com
Find a place to call home News - A night out at Bluesfest had a disappointing end for a local unicyclist who had his unicycle stolen while it was locked up on July 6. To make matters worse, Max Peabody, a Centretown resident, planned to use it at the Unicycling World Championships, which start July 30 in Montreal. “It’s just a bummer,” said Peabody. “I was hoping to get a lot of training done this month, and that will be harder to do. A lot of parts are hard to find and you have to get comfortable riding one specific unicycle.” Peabody said there are not many unicyclists in Ottawa, so the person who stole his bike probably was just on a hunt for bikes of value to steal. He said he wouldn’t normally take his unicycle to Bluesfest, but his regular bike was broken. He estimated it would be $800 to replace all the parts to rebuild his unicycle. He has some extra parts, and will get to work to track down the rest of the parts he needs to build a replacement. He doesn’t expect his unicycle to be returned. “I have a lot of friends who have offered me parts,” he said. “The unicycling community is really nice like that.” He still hopes to compete in two events at the world championships, where he is entered in the flat land and street events. The events are mostly acrobatic, and feature riders in trick battles against other riders. He said the street event resembles skateboarding.

Police announced three arrests July 7 following the execution of search warrants in the city’s south end and Nepean. The police tactical unit executed two warrants under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act on June 17. The searches were done in the 100 block of Cutts Private and the 1800 block of Baseline Road.

Two Ottawa men in their 20s were charged with a number of trafficking, possession and weapons-related offences. The charges included possession for the purposes of trafficking a schedule one substance and

Alta Vista amputee among War Amps volunteer award recipients Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
News - It wasn’t until Yousef Kadoura was four years old that he realized he was not alone. That’s because the Alta Vista resident finally met other young amputees after he and his family reached out to The War Amps, a Canadian charitable organization that works to improve the quality of life for all amputees. “You never think there’s so many people like that,” said the 18year-old, who was born without his right fibula, a bone in the lower leg, which is a condition known as fibular hemimelia. “Living in Ottawa there can be dozens of amputees,
but you don’t really see them that often and when you do, it’s a rare occurrence.” The life-long connection he has had with the non-profit organization has allowed him to give back to other young people. For that reason he was among nine young amputees ranging from eight to 26 years old from across Ottawa who were recognized during Ottawa South Member of Parliament David McGuinty’s 10th-annual volunteer recognition award ceremony at The War Amps national headquarters, located at 2827 Riverside Dr., on July 7. McGuinty told the young recipients that the work they are doing through The War Amps is very im-
portant. His own mother and father established a summer camp for children for 14 years, and reserved complimentary spots every year for children with developmental and physical disabilities. “My parents always insisted that we were not going to just have a summer camp where the kids who were coming to the camp were not representative of all of society,” said McGuinty. “You’re making an incredible contribution,” he said before presenting the young people with certificates to mark the occasion.

Volunteer inspires young amputees to live life to the fullest Continued from page 21
â&#x20AC;&#x153;People look to this kind of effort because it makes us a better place. It makes us a better community. It makes us a better society.â&#x20AC;? When Kadoura was 13, he began volunteering as a ju-
nior counselor at War Amps child amputee seminars, a role which has allowed him to mentor younger amputees, lead workshops and act as a role model and friend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for the little kids or some of the older Champs who just lost an arm
or leg in an accident, because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re closer to their age and you have experience,â&#x20AC;? Kadoura said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And for the little kids itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sort of like the Big Brother program. Kadoura hopes through his volunteer efforts that other young amputees know they
are not alone and they can still live a fulfilling life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to ruin your life,â&#x20AC;? he said of the message he shares with young people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something you can take and use it for all the wonderful opportunities you can get out of it.â&#x20AC;?

Though he will be busy with his studies, he plans to continue playing an active role in War Amps programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they ever need me for volunteer work or if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anything I can do for them Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make myself available,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Mining of the 2.5 kilometre tunnel for the Confederation Line Light Rail Transit project is proceeding on time and budget with more than 40% of the tunnel excavation volume now complete. This project is the first stage in Ottawa’s future rail network and is set to open in the spring of 2018. The 12.5 kilometre electric light rail system replaces existing diesel powered buses, providing rapid transit between Blair Station in the east and Tunney’s Pasture in the west. The route includes 13 stations and a 2.5 kilometre tunnel that will alleviate congestion through the downtown core. Please visit www.confederationline.ca for more information.

Hope’s competitive volleyball division proved to once again be a popular draw. This year, 188 teams will participate in addition to 660 recreational teams and 180 corporate entries. “Our competitive division sells out before any other division and we had probably the biggest wait list this year than we’ve ever had,” Tarrison said, adding that organizers were able to squeeze in a few more from an initial waiting list of 87 competitive teams. “It’s really taken off even over the last three or four years,” she said. “We’re kind of the place to be.” Upwards of 20,000 spectators are expected to watch the volleyball action and enjoy musical acts such as Matthew Good, Mad Anthony, a threepiece band from Cincinnati, Ohio and Kingston’s The Glorious Sons, as well as the talents of three local bands, including Finding Chuck, BlakDenim and The Cardboard Crowns. “We like giving people opportunity, so not only giving our charities exposure but up-and-

News - In keeping with its name, HOPE Volleyball SummerFest will not only serve up some intense yet fun volleyball action at Mooney’s Bay Park on Saturday, July 12, it will also rally behind six local charities. HOPE stands for Helping Other People Everywhere, and for good reason. Since the largest outdoor one-day beach volleyball tournament in North America was first held 32 years ago, it has generated more than $3.5 million to more than 110 charities. This year, the SummerFest will generate $128,000 to be shared by The Arthritis Society, The Max Keeping Foundation, Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Support Programs, The Good Companions, Hopewell Eating Disorders Support Centre and Anxiety Disorders Association of Ontario. “I feel like Ed McMahon, or whatever the 2014 equivalent of Ed McMahon is, by calling (the charities) and saying, ‘Hey, you won, you’re getting funding from us,’” said Holly Tarrison, executive director of HOPE Ottawa-Carleton Inc., which organizes the volleyball festival. Funds are raised through team registration fees, concert ticket sales and pledged donations. Some of the charities, such as Hopewell, don’t receive government funding, she said. “It’s just mind-blowing the amount of programs there are … that help people that don’t advertise or can’t get the message out there,” Tarrison said. “We’re helping them that way. “It’s humbling, and also makes … us work harder,” she said. “There are six orgs that are relying on us to keep them afloat. If that isn’t an incentive, I don’t know what is.” The SummerFest is once again expected to attract about 10,000 volleyball players on more than 1,000 teams across competitive, recreational and corporate divisions that are coming in from as far as New York City. “Back when 9/11 happened, we extended an invitation to … the New York Fire Department,” said Tarrison, adding that about

Teens create unique mural Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Arts – Taking a meal in the cafeteria of the French public school board in Ottawa is not unlike eating at a cafe in old world Europe thanks to four artistic teens. Since March, the south Ottawa girls have put paint to brush every Saturday morning for four months to create a colourful mural on the walls of the cafeteria at the school board, Conseil des écoles publiques de l’Est de l’Ontario, located at 2445 St. Laurent Blvd. as part of a volunteer project. The four are students with Vicky Collins’ Monart Art School of Ottawa, a private business located in the same building as the school board, which covered the cost of the supplies for the creative initiative. Collins couldn’t be more proud of the girls’ accomplishments. “These kids are artists,” she said of 15-yearold Dana Fahey, Rebecca Mumford, 17, Olivia Lourenco, 17, and 18-year-old Isabelle Beaudry. “They feel it. They work for it. They don’t have a degree or a diploma, but they’re still artists.” Every Saturday morning, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., her students painstakingly transformed the walls of the space from a dark yellow into colour-
ful creations that now draw the eye and take the viewer on a sensory journey full of intriguing details. Too often, teenagers are negatively labelled, Collins said, adding these girls are a prime example of the good works young people quietly accomplish. “It was not a job to get the teens here on a Saturday morning at 10 o’clock,” said Collins, a graphic designer from Columbia, who earned her master’s degree in fine arts in Madrid, Spain. “They were working with love and passion,” said the Hunt Club resident, whose students range from three years old to adults in their 60s. “It’s just a beautiful thing.” Her students are trained to create with graphite pencil, acrylic, watercolour, pastels, chalk pastels, and oil paint for older students. For this project, the students drew the design on the walls in pencil, and filled it in with layers of acrylic paint before coating the creation in a sealant for protection. Collins is impressed with the talents of Mumford, Fahey, Beaudry and Lourenco which are now permanently showcased at the school board. “I’m very proud,” she said with a smile.

Second album and second round for Sound Of Lions
! % 0 9 o T p U e Sav
Band settles into five-piece sound with album ‘Take Me With You’
SUMMER SIDEWALK SALE
Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com
News - Ottawa’s trip-hop band with a restless vibe, Sound Of Lions, is returning to RBC Bluesfest this year flush with new music from their second album. The band, with members from Kanata, Westboro, Orléans and Little Italy, had their first go at Bluesfest in 2012 almost a year after dropping their first album. The band has grown since then, said lead singer Whitney Delion, evolving from a DJ and female vocals duo at its inception to a five-piece band for their first album, and now settling into their sound with each member giving more. “It started out with Christian (Awad) and I,” said Delion. They broke off from another band to strike out on their own. Awad, the band’s DJ, had always made beats, while Delion wrote the songs with Awad adding some rap. “A lot of the songs from the first album were, they were kind of adapted from songs that Christian and I had written together,” said Delion. “We just kind of converted the song to be played with the live band.” But the new album, entitled “Take Me With You,” is a truer representation of the whole band, she said. “Everyone is owning their instrument a little bit more.” Delion describes the band’s sound as moody, trippy and delicate permeated by female vocals and perforated by bouts of rap. “It’s sort of reminiscent of massive attack or that sort of genre,” said Delion, stopping short of labeling the band’s sound as trip-hop.

Ottawa band Sound Of Lions, made up of, from left, Whitney Delion (lead singer), Christian Award (DJ/rapper), Will Assaad (lead guitarist), Marco Campagna (drummer) and Joel Soucy (bassist), play at RBC Bluesfest on June 12.
Bluesfest will be band’s biggest show to date Continued from page 33
Either way, a return to Bluesfest for July 12 is a nod to the direction the band is taking, with Delion saying, “It means
that people are appreciating the music and they like what we are doing, so it’s totally an honour.” Bluesfest is the biggest gig the band has ever played, said

Delion, though they’ve enjoyed playing at the NAC several times as well. CROWD REACTION
Though they don’t play in Ottawa too often, the band is “really excited” to perform July 12, she said. “Getting a good reaction from the crowd, there is no bet-
ter feeling than that,” she said. “You are re-affirming why you are doing this.” With their set starting at 1:30 p.m. at the River Stage, Delion said the band will be looking to
keep their performance energetic, throwing in a few covers with their own songs. For information on tickets, go to http://ottawabluesfest. ca/tickets/.

Connor Egan, known as Substant, DJs.
SUBMITTED
Local DJ takes to the Fort at Bluesfest this weekend Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com
Community - Electronic music is growing, and Bluesfest is adding more and more DJ acts to the annual lineup. This year, Beacon Hill’s Connor Egan – known as Substant – will be one of those DJs. Egan produces electronic music; mostly hip hop. “The best way to describe my music would be futurebased,” he said, adding he looks up to music producer Mr. Carmack. Substant will perform on July 13 at the DJ @ The Fort station at Bluesfest, a smaller stage that highlights DJ and electronic music acts. His set is at 5 p.m. “It’s intended for people who are walking from one stage to another. The time slot is in between the major main stage performances,” he said. “So people will be free, walk-
ing around – and I’ll be at DJ @ The Fort.” He’s performed at a series of club events called Brand New Bass, most recently
It’s a good chance for people to take a good look at a wide range of electronic music CONNOR EGAN
held at the Ottawa nightclub Ritual. And while Egan has attended Bluesfest, this will be the first time he will perform.
As Bluesfest has diversified to include more types of music, Egan will also modify his set to include types of music that appeal to a wide variety of listeners. He said a lot of festival-goers are passionate about different types of music, but not everyone has been exposed to electronic music. “I’m going to be playing music that’s appropriate for the setting,” he said. “It’s a good chance for people to take a good look at a wide range of electronic music.” Past electronic shows have been well-attended at Bluesfest; Egan said one of his favourites last year was Zed’s Dead, a duo from Toronto. “With electronic music becoming more popular, I’m not remotely surprised that Bluesfest has jumped in,” he said. Catch Substant on July 13 at 5 p.m. at DJ @ The Fort at Bluefest at Lebreton Flats. Regular admission applies.

One special hay bale remained in field all season long MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories whole day, working quickly just in case it rained, soaking the mounds of hay, which would have to be dried out before being put into the hay loft. The flat topped wagon would already be in the field with board sides put on to hold the hay, and pitch-forks leaning against it ready for the job at hand. It would be a long, hot day ahead for Father and my three brothers. Mother would have packed sandwiches and pieces of slab cake in an 11-quart basket, and jars of water with shards of ice. By the time the sun was high in the sky and my own chores done in the house,
Mother would say, “Alright, Mary, you can head out now if you want.” I would carry another basket of sandwiches, and more water to tide Father and the brothers over. Running like the wind, I would cross the water where an old tree had fallen across at a narrow point, using it as a bridge, saving me from walking in the water. I would tear up the west hill like someone possessed, ever aware that I was alone, cut off from Mother at home, and the men working in the fields far away. The field was the biggest on the farm, even bigger than what we called the 20-Acre
Field that separated our farm from the Thoms. A rail fence, put up by Father’s greatgrandfather, circled the field, and a log gate was at one end where Father could take the team in an out when necessary. That day, when I got to the field, the work was still all at the farthest end, and the mounds of hay still to be loaded onto the wagon reminded me of the gumdrops in a big glass jar sitting on the counter at Briscoe’s General Store. I was barely through the gate when I saw the bird. I stopped dead so as not to frighten it. It was on one of the hay stacks, head deep in the hay, and its tail fluttering. I put the basket down and walked slowly towards the hay, and the bird showed its displeasure by swooping in and out of the hay declaring ownership. I knew it was nesting, and knew too, there were either eggs or baby birds deep
inside. Before the day was out, that mound of hay would be on the wagon, and the birds nest and whatever was in it, gone. I dropped the basket and ran through the field to where Father and the boys were forking the hay onto the wagon, and cried to Father that there was one haystack that he couldn’t touch, and told him why. Emerson said he was heading right over to the place with the fork, and that would be the end of the bird’s nest. Father told him to stay where he was -- there was plenty of work to do at that end of the field. Then Father followed me over to the gate and the haystack where the little bird had nested. He put his finger to his lips, signalling me to be quiet. The bird was frantic, making a lot of noise and going in and out of the hay, hovering, and proclaiming ownership again. Father took my hand and led me towards the opening in
the field before he spoke. He said one haystack left in the field would neither make nor break us, and he saw no reason why the bird couldn’t be left alone. I was so overjoyed, I hugged his overall covered leg, and thanked him over and over again. I gave Father the basket, and he headed back to where the boys were working, and I headed over towards the west hill and home to tell Mother about the little bird frantically trying to protect its nest. I told her how Father said it would be left alone to hatch its eggs, or feed its babies, whatever the case may be. Mother smiled and said, “That’s just like something your father would do.” And so for the rest of the season, standing alone in that big hay field was one small mound. It would shrink in size. It would turn brown from the sun, but it would have served as a safe haven to a little bird who called it home.

he sun was just starting to come up. Father had roused the brothers, and with great effort they dressed, ate their breakfast in silence, and followed him to the barns. They would head to the back fields, Father walking behind the team, King and Queen. They would have to cross the creek and then the Bonnechere River, at the lowest ebb, sloshing across in their work boots to get to the farthest reaches of the farm. There was no bridge to go from the front section of the farm to what Father called “the back 40,” although the acreage across the river was much more than 40. The hay had been mowed to form windrows, and now sat in little stacks which the brothers and Father had worked at for several days, getting it ready to load onto the wagon and brought over to the hayloft in the barn. They would be there for at least a

City wins Orgaworld dispute Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - The city has won its longfought battle over leaf and yard waste against Orgaworld. Not only did an arbitrator dismiss Orgaworldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $1.284 million claim against the city, he said the organicwaste processorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contract with the city entitles the municipality to send all its leaf and yard waste for processing, even during peak seasons. Leaves and yard waste can also be mixed in with kitchen waste in the same truck, arbitrator Harry Poch ruled on June 26. The city released the decision on June 30. The issue has been in dispute since shortly after the city negotiated the contract with Orgaworld in 2009. The city began collecting organic waste in 2010. Even though the amount of organics collected jumped from 67,000 tonnes in 2012 to 83,000 in 2013, the city is still paying to process tonnes of those organic materials twice. Orgaworld only accepted 69,000 tonnes or 83 per cent of the organic waste collected in
2013, leaving the city to have to seek other ways of processing the remainder â&#x20AC;&#x201C; mainly leaves and yard waste, Coun. Maria McRae, the chairwoman of the environment committee, said in February. She could not immediately be reached for comment following the arbitration decisionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s release. Following the arbitration decision, Orgaworld will now be on the hook to cover that extra cost. The damages will be recouped through a corresponding reduction in the minimum waste tonnage the city pays for and must deliver to Orgaworld. The city is obligated to deliver 80,000 tonnes a year. Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley, the vice chairman of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s audit committee, said a long-await audit on the Orgaworld contract can now be released, which will happen during the July 9 audit committee meeting. In an email, Hubley applauded the arbitratorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision and said the audit report will be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;a frank assessment of the program that hopefully gives us a basis to ensure mistakes are not repeated and taxpayers are protected going forward.â&#x20AC;? Orgaworldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $1.284 million damages claim against the city that Poch
dismissed was based on an argument that the city negotiated the contract and acted in bad faith when it negotiated new waste collection contracts in 2012. The only knock against the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win was part of the ruling that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow the municipality to boost the tonnage it delivers to Orgaworld by including waste sourced from the industrial, commercial and institutional (IC&I) sectors, as opposed to the residential waste the current contract covers. However, a memo from city solicitor Rick Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor said there is currently no market that would make it worth it for the city to add IC&I waste. â&#x20AC;&#x153;City believes the loss of this potential market is of little significance, particularly as the city met its 80,000 tonnes â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;put or payâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; obligation in 2013,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor wrote. The city and Orgaworld will each have to pay their own legal costs, the arbitrator ruled. Orgaworldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10.2-hectare site on Hawthorne Road is approved to process a total of 1,200 tonnes of organic waste (residential, commercial, institutional or industrial) per day, or 150,000 tonnes per year.

Transit: Ottawa wants regional plan Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - Commuters from towns outside Ottawa are straining the city’s roads and infrastructure and Ottawa councillors are looking to the province to create a plan for them to help pay those costs. The infrastructure help could come by way of what’s called a Places to Grow plan, said Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais, who introduced a motion to ask the province to draft such a plan for eastern Ontario. On June 25 council unanimously approved his request to send a letter to the province asking for the plan. “What we see in eastern Ontario is that we’ve got a lot of growth in Rockland, Kemptville, Carleton Place and Arnprior – the smaller
communities on the outskirts of the city – which very much used to be rural communities, but are now transforming effectively into suburbs of the city,” Blais said. As growth booms in those smaller towns, more people are coming into Ottawa for work and to shop. But the construction of new homes in Carleton Place, for instance, doesn’t send any development-charge money to Ottawa to help pay for the roads those residents will drive on, Blais said. “When we build a big subdivision in Orléans that needs roads and transit to get people to work, we have those mechanisms there, but if they are 10 minutes down the road in Rockland, we don’t see the same benefits,” Blais said. “We are one region. We need to
realize that. Ottawa is the centre and the heart of that region, where most of the employment is and will most likely continue to be for the foreseeable future. We need to plan our region appropriately,” he said. The idea is bound to go over like a lead balloon in some municipalities surrounding Ottawa, councillors agreed. North Grenville Mayor David Gordon confirmed that, saying smaller municipalities already have more challenges and a much smaller tax base than Ottawa. “So they’re crying ‘poor me,’” Gordon said. “Ottawa wants more of the pie... and to hell with the rest of us. Is that fair?” Rural municipalities are the “lifeline” of Ottawa, sending workers into the city to help fill jobs, he said. Gordon said he’s open to discussing common transportation solutions, but anything that would redirect some of those scarce tax dollars away from local projects in the Kemptville area would be a non-starter. Ottawa’s planning committee chairman Peter Hume said while some municipalities in the region will balk at the Places to Grow plan, others might be on board.

The city wants to consider the effect of commuters from outside Ottawa on the transit system. “If you’re in Rockland, Smiths Falls, Arnprior, you’re probably not going to want one of these,” Hume said. “Further down the 401, in eastern Ontario, it’s a mechanism to create an economic development

agency ... So with a growth plan can come those other structures that help not only in planning but in things like economic development.” Hume deemed Blais’ idea “great,” “fabulous” and “excellent.” He said staff from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs have been “very positive towards the idea” in the past when he has approached them about it. But the idea would need to start with direction from politicians at the provincial level before that staff could actually get to work on it, Hume said. “They need some direction from the minister to say ‘Yes, this is what we want to do,” he said. Through a spokesman, the minister of economic development, employment and infrastructure, Brad Duguid, said he would be open to discussing the idea with Ottawa. See PLACES, page 51

Places to Grow could mean new strategy Continued from page 50

“The province would be happy to meet and discuss growth challenges and opportunities in the Ottawa area,” the minister’s spokesman, Patrick Searle, wrote in an email. In Blais’ mind, an eastern Ontario plan would focus on distributing funding for transportation and transit projects in a more regional manner. “GO Transit and the GO train system are prime examples,” Blais said, adding that a regional transit opportunity would be a great amenity to investigate for eastern Ontario. “I think that probably makes a lot of sense as long as everyone is paying their fair share,” he said. Managing transportation and helping pay for roads and transit aren’t the only things
a Places to Grow plan could cover. Managing growth, including where residential and commercial development should occur, is another aspect of similar plans created for the Golden Horseshoe
GO Transit and the GO train system are prime examples COUN. STEPHEN BLAIS
and northern Ontario. A Places to Grow plan could also create a more cohesive strategy for servicing, especially water, Blais said. Ottawa’s rural communities are on well water in order
to keep development density low and maintain the rural character of the city’s outlying communities. But neighbouring municipalities outside Ottawa’s borders in some cases provide water and sewer services for the entire town. That leads to situations like a business park in Vars, which has less development capacity than the commercial area across the street in Russell that has water service, Blais said. “Our policies between the different municipalities are not always in harmony to properly plan from a regional perspective,” he said. “It’s really about ensuring we’re all playing with the same deck of cards and we’re all looking towards the same common future and really that will lead to a better quality of life for all of us,” Blais said.
Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.
Legacy Gift will generate $42.2 MILLION for CHEO over next 100 years Weldon Cochrane was an Ottawa chartered accountant and partner with the accounting firm of Coopers and Lybrand (now PriceWaterhouseCoopers) and was also the Treasurer on the CHEO Foundation Board. Mr. Cochrane had an appreciation for the importance of leaving a legacy and understood how to make an impact when he decided to made a gift in his Will to CHEO. He left the residual of his estate with instructions for it to be endowed; meaning that the capital would be preserved in perpetuity and the annual interest would be used to fund the important work at CHEO. When Mr. Cochrane died in 1985 the CHEO Foundation received $540,000
from his estate and established the Weldon Cochrane Endowment Fund as directed in his Will. Much has happened and changed at CHEO since his death and in that time his legacy gift has grown to $4.6 million.
