A life remembered
Park named after Heather Crowe re-dedicated Melissa Murray
mmurray@metroland.com
Those closest to Heather Crowe agree she would be proud. Ten years after the introduction of the Smoke Free Ontario Act and on World No Tobacco Day, friends, family, politicians and public health officials gathered in Heather Crowe Park for a re-dedication ceremony
and the unveiling of a new plaque, after the original was stolen last September. Crowe worked as a waitress for 40 years and having never smoked a cigarette a day in her life she died of lung cancer in 2006. After her diagnosis in 2002, she became a spokesperson against the effects of second-hand smoke, speaking to students and restaurant and bar owners to dis-

cuss the consequences of tobacco use. “I don’t think she ever expected this to be as big as it is now; she’d be the proudest,” said her former employer Moe Atallah, who owns Newport Restaurant. “She always talked about helping other people and thinking for the future of other people.” In his remarks during the ceremony, deputy mayor Mark Taylor spoke of Crowe’s lasting legacy. “While of course Heather’s passing is sad, she has left us an amazing legacy,” he said. “She has left us a legacy of health for many generations of people who are going to work in the service industry and for many generations of kids, who she will never know and will never know her, but she’s made their lives healthier because of her advocacy and her action.” See SMOKING, page 2

Taylor added that between 2006 and 2014, Ottawa’s smoking rate decreased to nine per cent from 17 per cent. “That’s due to multitude of factors and the noteworthy contribution of Heather Crowe.” Danielle Mignault, a high school teacher, first met Crowe when she was in Grade 12. After hearing her story, Mignault asked Crowe to speak at her school about the dangers of smoking, second-hand smoke and the impact on her life. “I was sitting backstage with Heather and she said she just needed a minute to take her medication. I watched Heather, hands shaking take a number of pills that I couldn’t count on two hands and, in that moment, I had a wide range of emotions. “I was excited to have Heather at the school and deeply saddened that she was so ill and also angry. I was angry because Heather didn’t get sick because she chose to smoke, she got sick because other people chose to smoke.” The experience inspired Mignault to launch a ribbon cam-

paign, which raised more than $5,000 for the Lung Association. When she went to the hospital to tell Crowe about the campaign, she was greeted with “open arms and a warm smile.” “As a young person inspired by Heather, I was heartbroken to hear of her passing, especially because it was just days before the passing of the Smoke Free Ontario Act. I know Heather would have been so proud of it. I only wish she was there to see it,” Mignault said. “Heather fought for what is right, she fought for the health and wellbeing of people all over the country without any gain for herself. It is my hope that the spark of inspiration that Heather lit continues to burn strong in the lives of young people for another 10 years.” In an interview after the event, Patricia Cosgrove, Crowe’s daughter, said her mother would be happy and positive about the progress of smoke free legislation. “It’s the little things that matter and that’s important,” she said. Heather Crowe Park is located at the southwest corner of Scott Street and Island Park Drive.

Two paws up for Merivale Optometric annual trunk show
Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind got a healthy donation from Merivale Optometric Centre’s trunk show May 12th. Held each spring for the last four years, Merivale Optometric Centre’s trunk show featured popular designer brands showcased for a good cause. “We have had Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind as our recipient charity for the last couple of years,” says Dr. Joelle Zagury, an owner of Merivale Optometric Centre. “We feel it’s a good fit for us. These incredible dogs help to keep visually impaired people independent, and the national training centre is local too.” The May 12 event at Merivale Optometric Centre in the Emerald Plaza, 1547 Merivale Rd, Ottawa raised $2,310 for Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind. Attendees enjoyed complimentary food and drinks, discounts on all eyewear and thousands of frames to view, all in support of a worthy charity.

“This year we partnered with Dior, Fendi and Ray-Ban so people had an incredible selection of glasses to see and try on. Nikon was the lens provider for the event.” Also on hand were Guide Dogs, under the direction of Steven Doucette, Events Coordinator for Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind. “Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind is extremely appreciative to Merivale Optometric Centre. Our organization operates solely through donations, so when local businesses show a philanthropic spirit and conduct events and raise funds for us, they are helping greatly in our mandate to provide guide dogs to Canadians who are blind and visually impaired. Dr. Zagury and the team at Merivale Optometric Centre have been very kind to host multiple events for Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind.” People came from all over the Capital Region to receive Merivale Optometric Centre’s trusted, personal attention and expert care. Dr. Zagury and her team are already planning the event for next year, along with other fundraising initiatives for the Guide Dogs. “It was a fabulous event! It gets better every year and a lot of people came out to support. We had two Guide dogs with their foster families and we exceeded our fundraising goal.” “Our goal was to sponsor a third pup by donating $25 from each pair of glasses sold. Because of the generosity of our suppliers we were able to increase that donation to $30 pair for a total of $2310!” “We will definitely be doing it again, we also have a Ladies’ Night in the fall where we raise money for the dogs and we are one of the sponsors for their golf tournament ‘the Nine and Dine’ in June.” Dr. Zagury added that the two newest eye doctors at Merivale Optometric Centre were a big part of the success of the event.
Dr. William Clarke graduated in 1992 with a Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Optometry Degree. He is a member of the International Sports Vision Academy and the American Optometric Association Sports vision section. Dr. Clarke is a true sports fan and has been volunteering in the area of sports vision with the Special Olympics world games and locally with the Ottawa Senators, The Ottawa 67s, The Ottawa Rough Riders and Renegades.

OC Transpo and Bluesfest reach five-year deal Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com
Taking transit to Bluesfest just got a little easier for ticketholders. OC Transpo and the annual festival reached an agreement on May 20, which will see the festival pay $100,000 to the city’s transit system each year for the next five years to help recoup costs. “We feel the end result of this is good for the music fan; that’s what was most important,” said AJ Sauve, director of media relations for the festival. The agreement also includes cost recovery of all extra charges related to deployment and managing the service for the festival, including supervisors and security requirements. This year that will cost about $9,000. The service agreement is also subject to increases in the city’s urban transit levy. The city was initially asking for the festival to pay $200,000 to offset the cost
of increased frequency of buses. But Bluesfest executive director Mark Monahan sat down with OC Transpo to negotiate the deal. “The way it was going, fans paid to get on the bus and then they were also asking us to subsidize the cost,” Sauve said. Instead of having Bluesfest pay the $200,000 and have festival attendees paying fares, Bluesfest is paying half that amount and fares are waived when boarding. OC Transpo basically becomes a supply sponsor, Sauve said. Those who buy passes to the festival – taking place July 7 to 17 at Lebreton Flats – before June 1 will receive free access to transit three hours before the gates open until two hours after the day’s shows end. Those buying tickets after June 1 will pay a flat rate of $2 for transportation for the ticket dates. Sauve wouldn’t speculate on how much money would be generated from the fee.
Transit doesn’t only mean buses. The passes also work for the O-Train and ParaTranspo, according to Sauve. He said some attendees of the festival could spend up to $50 on transit alone when visiting. The agreement is similar to the one that exists with the Ottawa Redblacks. “It’s a lot easier on and off the bus – it makes for expedience,” Sauve said. “The end result is positive for all involved.” In an email, Pat Scrimgeour, assistant general manager, customer systems and planning for the city, said with public transit being the best way to travel to Bluesfest, the agreement makes it easier for those attending, and comes with added benefits. “By including the cost of transit in the concert ticket, we encourage more people to take the bus to Bluesfest festivities, thereby taking cars off the road and reducing traffic congestion around Lebreton Flats.”
But one councillor expressed his concern about the deal in a blog post. Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper wrote he’s “left wondering whether we’ve blown a hole in our transit event policy just a few weeks after it was published.” The city heard late last year that about 40 per cent of concertgoers use city transit services to get to the event. According to figures Leiper received from OC Transpo about last year, the cost of adding additional service to Lebreton Flats was $285,000. New fare revenue amounted to about $87,000. That means bus service last year cost the city just short of its original ask at $198,000. This year, assuming the same frequency and overall cost and adding in the $100,000 contribution by the festival, the city will pay $185,000 for the service – a difference of about $13,000 - not including an extra fee
paid by Bluesfest for the cost of supervisory staff and administration. “But, this has clearly ceased to be a discussion about cost recovery,” Leiper wrote. He also pointed out that the reduced cost for transit could make it more attractive, driving the need for even more service and costing taxpayers more money overall.
If the policy can’t be followed, Leiper suggested it should be re-evaluated. “Given that festivals such as Bluesfest generate millions in economic activity for the city, I believe it should simply be rewritten if it can’t be implemented in more coherent fashion than this. “Festivals in Ottawa rock. Everyone should know the ground rules.” - With files from Jennifer McIntosh

Sens and city big winners with Phillips
I
t was expected. The May 26 retirement of Chris Phillips as an NHL player was a day of celebration in more ways than one. A celebration of what is so rare these days, a professional sports career that started and ended with the same team. A celebration of all that Phillips had accomplished on the ice as a hockey player, and a celebration that Phillips, after just under 20 years as a staple of the Senators’ blueline, will be staying with the team in a front office role that involves community programs, alumni relations and business development. That front office role plays to Phillips’ strengths not only as a former hockey player but as a man, who along with his wife Erin and his family, has shown over his time in this city that as a member of the community he now calls home, he has always been an all-star. Let’s be honest, as a No. 1 overall NHL draft pick in 1996, Phillips was not the game changer for an organization that some other number ones have been. He was no Sidney Crosby or Mario Lemieux, or Connor McDavid.
He had a long, and productive career for the Ottawa Senators, but you could never call Phillips a superstar on the ice. The Senators did not score a so-called generational top draft pick player such as Crosby has become, when they picked Phillips first overall in the NHL draft. But the Senators did score big with Phillips in getting a special person who has enriched our community through his tireless efforts with charities and other community initiatives that he, and his family, have taken to heart. Phillips has been a community superstar, and at the end of the day, that will always be more important than how many points a player gets. “Today is a happy day,� Phillips, who goes down in team history as having played more games for the organization than anyone else, said at his retirement press conference. Indeed, despite all the well-deserved accolades that have been coming Phillips’ way, perhaps the best news is that Phillips and his family now call Ottawa their home and they will continue to enrich our community for years to come. And, for the City of Ottawa, that is as big a win as you can get on or off the ice.
Laser awareness may not be enough
P
eople do behave badly and preventing them from doing so is one of the things we expect government to do. So it was with a certain amount of interest that we anticipated Transport Minister Marc Garneau’s response to a growing misuse of laser pointers. While laser pointers have many positive uses, aiming them at airplanes is not one of them. An increasing number of people have been doing that. In the U.S. there were more than 5,000 laser incidents reported last year, up about 1,000 from the year before. In Canada, there were 600 incidents and there have been 148 incidents so far this year. Some laser pointers can shoot beams as far as eight kilometres. When someone on the ground aims a high-powered laser at an airplane, the pilot can be

port minister do? He said the RCMP and local police will step up enforcement. He said offenders will face up to $900,000 in fines, five years in prison, or both. That was good. But mostly he announced an awareness campaign. It will make use of social media to tell people that pointing lasers at airplanes is bad. There’s a hashtag and everything. And there’s a YouTube video too. Will that really do it, do you think? The former Conservative government tried something similar a year or two ago. Obviously, it didn’t work, so there should be some incentive to go further. But this government isn’t much in favour of outright bans, as witness its policy on marijuana.

person on the legalization of marijuana, criticized the number of marijuana dispensaries that are popping up in Canada’s big cities. They were reckless and illegal, he said. But he didn’t say if the feds were going to do anything about them. Cities are trying to handle the problem through municipal licensing department. Perhaps the feds could shame them on Twitter? Returning to lasers, doesn’t it make sense to stop these things from being sold and distributed? Even those who celebrate the positive uses of lasers say that there is no justification for laser pointers beyond a certain power. It is already illegal to point a laser at an aircraft, so it is not as if there is no precedent for acting. The government could draw a line, referencing the power of a laser, beyond which it would be illegal to sell or own. That might be more effective than hashtags

According to the CBC, he said “We will evaluate whether our attempt to re-educate Canadians is successful.� The evidence upon which the evaluation is based will be in the sky, near Canadian airports.

Overcoming packing anxiety
O
ur family vacation budget is minimal. Typically, when we do go on vacation, it’s in a tent in a provincial park for a few days. The first trip of the season is always tricky, but after that, we’ve got our list, the camping gear is kept in a single place and the rest of the summer is a no-brainer. Getting the five of us ready for a two-week long trip to Europe, with minimal luggage allowance, however, seemed like a mammoth task. I’ve long suffered from packing anxiety. It’s not about having a list. Lists are easy. I love lists. I can make lists until I’m blue in the face. But something always causes me to deviate from said list. And there’s that constant, undermining voice in my head: What if I forget something? How can I prepare for every possible event and weather situation? How will I survive with only two pairs of footwear? Whether it’s a short weekend jaunt to visit family or something more elaborate like an overseas flight, I have enough trouble packing my own suitcase. Attempting to co-ordinate a week’s worth of outfits for the offspring had the potential to drive me to drink. (Call it medication). Fortunately, my spouse is pretty sane and level headed and generally makes up for my shortcomings in this area. He offered to send me to the spa for a day while he packed everything, including my wardrobe. I had flash thought

over myself and my packing anxiety pronto. Two weeks before the trip, I washed everything in the
house, including towels, clothing and outerwear. After it was all folded and consuming most of the basement floor, I donated half of it to charity. (I figured the packing anxiety that’s only existed since I became a mother, partly stems from having too many items and therefore too many choices). Then I packed the obvious – a week’s worth of underwear and socks for each family member and, because we’d be spending the bulk of our time in Scotland, rain gear. Lovely to know the weather will be reliable. From there, I hit a wall. Again, not because I didn’t have a list to tell me we each
needed two bottoms, five tops, a sweater and a toothbrush. I had the list. But I still had to make choices from the remaining items on the basement floor about which bottoms, which tops, which sweater and which toothbrush. Then I read the best piece of packing advice ever: figure out what you normally wear in a week and pack that. Perfect. Not only practical, it also gave me an excuse to procrastinate. So I waited a week. I monitored my clothing and my kids’ clothing in what happened to be a week of typically Scottish weather. At the end of the week, I looked at what was in the laundry hampers, washed it and immediately packed what came out of the dryer. Then, in accordance with the article, I removed half the items and slammed the cases shut. We’re still a few days away from our trip. In my mind, however, the packing is complete. The undermining, anxiety-inducing voice continues to pop up from time to time, but I just quash it by telling myself that it doesn’t really matter what I’ve packed, the airline will likely lose our suitcases anyway.

Support needed to help dragon boat festival absorb changes erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Ottawa’s dragon boat festival needs you now, more than ever before. Plans to build a giant playground at the north end of Mooney’s Bay Park, where the Tim Hortons Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival has been held for more than 20 years, have organizers appealing for the public’s backing. “We can’t change what’s happening at the park. We can ask the public to come out and support us, because that will support the long-term of the event,” said John Brooman, president and chief executive of the festival and the Ottawa Dragon Boat Foundation, which generates $350,000 to $400,000 annually for charity.
The event, which will be held on the Rideau River and in Mooney’s Bay Park June 23 to 26, is the single biggest festival fundraiser in Ottawa. This year funds will go to the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa, the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation and the Ottawa Dragon Boat Foundation Community Fund. “The biggest thing people can do to support the festival, to keep it moving in the future through this jungle gym issue, is to support us, support our foundation,” Brooman said, after watching a truck hoist a dragon boat into the water at the park on May 26. “Let’s really show the city what this is worth.” While festival organizers won’t yet know the full scope of how the playground structure will impact the
four-day celebration, there will be some effects this year, perhaps more in 2017 after the structure is built and the space gobbled up. Team tents will have to be weighted down with sandbags rather than pegs due to a surface membrane going in at the north end of the park ahead of the playground’s construction this summer. Given the controversy swirling around the play structure since it was announced May 13 over the lack of public consultation, cutting down of trees and outrage from protesters, some teams have been slower than usual in registering. “It’s not a big portion, but there’s that last 10 per cent,” Brooman said, but noted city officials have agreed to a deal that the site will be clear of workers and activity starting June 16 to
North Island Link Environmental Assessment and Functional Design Study Public Presentation at the Manotick Village and Community Association Annual General Meeting Tuesday, June 7 7 to 8 p.m. Manotick Arena and Community Centre, second floor 5572 Doctor Leach Drive The City of Ottawa is conducting a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment for the North Island Link Watermain in Manotick. The study will identify the preferred alignment to link the existing watermain on Rideau Valley Drive to the proposed Manotick Watermain Link at the north end of Long Island. The North Island Link will provide additional capacity and reliability of water supply to the urban area south of the Jock River.
The Process The study is being planned under Schedule B of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011 and 2015), which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act.
Consultation At the meeting, residents will learn of the preferred alignment for the watermain. Participants will have an opportunity to discuss the project with the study team and provide feedback. Comments received will be collected under the Environmental Assessment Act and, with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record. Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accommodation, please contact the project lead or email pgmpublicengagement@ottawa.ca by noon on Monday, June 6.

allow the festival to move in. Billed for many years as the largest dragon boat festival in North America, it has actually made an international name for itself and can now be considered the world’s largest festival of its kind, Brooman said. All told, the races, concerts with all-Canadian acts, family activities, exhibitors, food and beverage vendors – which are all free to enjoy – are expected to attract about 65,000 people over the course of the fourday event. It will draw an estimated 5,000 paddlers on about 200 teams. “There’s no other festival that’s doing what we’re doing in the world,” Brooman said. It’s drawn international attention, as a result.

Notice of Study Commencement Baseline/Woodroffe Stormwater Management Pond Municipal Class Environmental Assessment and Functional Design The City of Ottawa has initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for a proposed Stormwater Management Facility at the northeast corner of Baseline Road and Woodroffe Avenue. A stormwater management pond was initially recommended in the Pinecrest Creek/ Westboro Stormwater Management Retrofit Study (2011) and underwent further assessment in the Feasibility Study for a Surface Stormwater Management Facility at Baseline Road and Woodroffe Avenue (2015). The Process The study is being planned under Schedule B of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011, and 2015). In order to satisfy the requirements of the Class EA process, alternatives of the stormwater management pond will be confirmed, assessed and the process documented, considering the work already undertaken. The Class EA will identify a preferred alternative and functional design for the pond. Consultation Interested persons can provide comments at any time during the Class EA process. There will be opportunity for feedback through the City of Ottawa’s website, ottawa.ca/baselinewoodroffepond. With the exception of personal information, comments received become part of the public record.

Inaugural ice dragon boating festival in development for Winterlude 2017 Notice of Community Consultation
Continued from page 12
NAV CANADA proposes changes to Ottawa flight paths
A group from China arranged for him to travel to Budapest, Hungary earlier this year to see ice dragon boating in action, which involves participants using paddles with picks to move a boat on skates on the ice. “It is looking very promising that we’ll be hosting an ice dragon boating festival on the canal during Winterlude in 2017,” said Brooman. Now the Chinese delegation is coming to Ottawa to check out the summer dragon boat festival, and to check out the canal for a winter festival. It’s also hoped China will send 600 people to take part in the summer races in 2017.
NAV CANADA is seeking public input regarding proposed changes to flight paths for aircraft arriving to Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport. The proposed flight paths are estimated to save up to two minutes flying time for arrivals while greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions are estimated at 750 metric tonnes each year. Where possible, portions of flight paths have been relocated over less populated areas. Some of the new approach paths will lever new technology – known as Required Navigation Performance (RNP) – that combines satellite-based positioning with modern flight management systems, allowing an aircraft to fly a precise route. This allows for the design of flight paths that are shorter and that provide for a continuous descent. Initially, only a small portion of aircraft – less than 25 per cent – will be equipped to fly the new procedure. As part of the proposed redesign, some standard arrival routes are also being updated. No changes are proposed for departure routes. NAV CANADA has made information – including maps – on proposed flight path changes available online at www.navcanada.ca/YOW. Residents are invited to learn about changes and provide feedback using the comment tool available on the website by June 30, 2016. Residents can also attend one of the following Open House Consultation Events: June 22, 2016 – 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Maurice-Lapointe School Gymnasium 17 Bridgestone Dr. Kanata, ON K2M 0E9 R0013833773

As well, this year a Philippines team will be competing in the June races. “They and others have been looking at our model for years and have been saying, ‘How are they doing this?’” Brooman said. “Now there’s an opportunity to take our model elsewhere to the rest of the world,” he said, adding the festival is a crown jewel, not just for Ottawa, but for Canada. “That’s the message. Support us this year and through 2017 as we absorb all these changes,” he said. “The more (people) can do this year in terms of supporting everything we do, the higher likelihood we have of surviving this.” To register a dragon boat team or to check out a full line up of events, go to dragonboat.net.

Becoming a hero for CHEO as easy as picking up the phone Erin McCracken
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
A simple phone call can make a huge difference. Organizers of the CHEO Telethon are preparing for the 33rd annual 24-hour event June 4 and 5, the CHEO Foundation’s largest fundraiser in support of the regional children’s hospital, which provides care to children from across eastern Ontario, western Quebec and from as far away as Nunavut. Last year it raised a recordbreaking $7.94 million, up from $7.1 million in 2014. “It really shows that the community doesn’t want the hospital to go anywhere,” said Jacqueline Belsito, vicepresident of philanthropy and community engagement at the CHEO Foundation. “They really secure the future by participating.” Televised on CTV, the live broadcast launches on June 4 at 7 p.m. and will feature poignant interviews with current and former patients and their families, as well as some of
CHEO’s medical team. They will reveal “the real breadth and depth that’s going on here,” Belsito said. “It’s not just an emergency department.” More than 70,000 infants, children and youth come through the hospital’s ER doors every year, but there is so much more that’s offered in terms of long-term and complex care, she explained. Allison Franceschina, a nurse and manager of CHEO’s neonatal intensive care unit, the neonatal transport team, follow-up clinic and clinical care respiratory therapy, will appear on the upcoming show. She will help tell the story of a new isolette deck being donated for the transport unit, which is a mini intensive care unit on wheels. It has a ventilator, suction machine, respiratory support, a full monitoring system and lighting and will improve care for the team’s youngest and smallest patients that the team responds to throughout eastern and northern Ontario.

The 2015 CHEO Telethon generated a record-setting $7.94 million. This year, organizers are hoping the 33rd annual CHEO Telethon will once again touch the hearts of people everywhere when the 24-hour show takes to the airwaves on CTV June 4 and 5. pensive equipment is largely thanks to the community’s support. “We have to find equipment that fits a 23-week pre-term gestation baby up to a child that’s 18 years of age, ” said Franceschina. She took part in last year’s
telethon, answering phones with some of the 1,000 volunteers who made the event a success. “It was so nice to talk with donors and actually thank them verbally and express how much gratitude and appreciation we have for them taking
the time to acknowledge the work that we do for our patients,” she said. Six patients will be the stars of the show as they share their experiences at CHEO, including a teen diagnosed with a severe brain injury and a baby diagnosed with cancer while still in the womb. “There’s some real miracles,” said Belsito. The telethon will also highlight key advancements CHEO researchers and scientists are making towards improved treatment and care. Money raised this year during the telethon will go toward research, staff training and toys, games and crafts for patients, as well as medical equipment. CHEO is looking to buy another digital mobile x-ray unit that can be wheeled right to a patient’s bedside. Priced at $220,000, it’s considered a bigticket item, but means patients don’t have to be moved to the x-ray department for a scan. “Its disruptive and frankly some are too sick to move,” Belsito said, adding the hos-
pital also needs five kidney dialysis machines, each of which cost about $50,000. That’s why superheroes are again needed this year. This year’s theme for the fundraiser echoes that of previous years: “Be a SuperHERO for CHEO.” To generate excitement and enthusiasm ahead of the 24hour show, June 3 will be proclaimed “Be a SuperHERO for CHEO Day” in Ottawa. Everyone is encouraged to dress as their favourite superhero. MAKE THE CALL

City Councillor/Conseiller Municipal River Ward/Quartier Rivière River Ward Strawberry Social River Ward’s seniors are cordially invited to attend my annual Strawberry Socials next week. Two events are planned, June 8 at the Hunt Club Riverside Park Community Centre and June 9 at the Alexander Community Centre, both from 1-3pm. Please reserve your seat by calling Sarah Barber at 613-580-2486 or email Sarah.Barber@Ottawa.ca. Looking forward to seeing you at another great event. Hellenic Community Commemorative Blades In the autumn of 2015, I was approached by the President of the Hellenic Community of Ottawa, located at 1315 Prince of Wales Drive seeking permission to design and install permanent commemorative street sign blades on utility poles along Prince of Wales Drive between Hog’s Back Drive and Baseline Road. The commemorative street sign blades would be similar to those we see in Little Italy (Preston Street), Chinatown (Somerset Street) or the Cedars of Lebanon (Riverside Drive near St Elias Cathedral). Although there isn’t a high concentration of Greek establishments in the corridor, like one would see in Chinatown or Little Italy, Ottawa’s largest Greek church, which hosts the annual Greek Festival is located on Prince of Wales. The Community and Protective Services Committee will be considering this proposal at the June 16, 2016 committee meeting at City Hall. This is a public meeting and public submissions and delegations are permitted. The proposed design has the Greek flag on the left, the Acropolis on the right and text in the middle that reads, “Reflection of Greece”. You are welcome to share your feedback with me. Ottawa Police Delivery Model Review The Ottawa Police Service (OPS) is launching public consultation to gather feedback on changes being considered to its service delivery model. These changes are part of a strategy at the OPS, called the Service Initiative Program, which is designed to improve how they serve the community given a number of pressures facing policing, such as increasing costs, city growth, changing demographics, growing demands for service, and the increasing complexity of crime. Community partners and key stakeholders are invited to a facilitated session on June 7, Noon-2:30pm or June 9, 6-8:30pm. For more information about the Service Initiative program or how to register, please visit ottawapolice.ca/serviceinitiative. Splash Pads are Open Most City of Ottawa Splash Pads are now open until mid-September. Local splash pads in neighbourhood parks are a great way to cool off and have outdoor fun. The City of Ottawa organizes events at splash pads, wading pools and in parks throughout the summer. Stay tuned for more announcements about these events this summer. Some parks remain closed because of their proximity to schools or for maintenance reasons. Visit www.ottawa.ca for a complete listing or call my office if you have questions about your local park. Doors Open Ottawa-This Weekend Ottawa opens its doors to some of its most interesting buildings this weekend. Take some time to explore and learn more about our great city.

Algonquin College could face $100-million lawsuit Staff
A Toronto-based law firm has announced it is considering filing a $100-million class action lawsuit against Algonquin College after the college leaked students’ test results in March. The college admitted on March 10 that its staff had mistakenly
emailed out entrance test results for 1,411 prospective students. Students affected had all applied to health programs and completed an entrance test, known as an AC-HPAT test. The emails sent by the college’s test centre to 40 of the applicants’ peers contained an Excel spreadsheet on which the 1,411 entrance test results were recorded. According to a news release, lawyers
with Flaherty McCarthy Litigation Counsel have begun consulting with some of the students affected by the leak, which, in addition to test results, shared applicants’ names, email addresses, student numbers and Ontario College Application Service numbers. Algonquin College and Flaherty McCarthy LLP would not comment.

Ottawa West News - Thursday, June 2, 2016
Things are about to get electric on the Rideau Canal. Starting mid-June, Ottawa Boat Cruise will be launching its first, and one-and-only in North America, 100 per cent electric boat on the canal. The company tested the waters on May 26 in Sanscartier Park in Gatineau, where the boat was released into the Ottawa River for the first time. Ottawa Boat Cruise president Robert Taillefer said he was interested in building an electric boat in an effort to reduce emissions along the canal, adding that he is proud of the elctric boat project and it will be a legacy for his children.
MICHELLE NASH BAKER/METROLAND
Robert Taillefer, president of Ottawa Boat Cruise gets ready launched his 100 per cent electric boat in the Ottawa River on May 26. Taillefer said he was very excited to see the boat in the water and was happy to share the moment with his son, Zachary. Marc Marine in Gatineau built the boat in 12 weeks and it took about 2,000 hours. Martin Lauzon of Marc Marine said the vessel will be very quiet as it makes its way along the canal. “I’m really proud of it, I can’t wait to see it on the water,” Lauzon said. The boat has large solar panels on its roof,
and can seat 98 guests in a new, hop on and hop off, service. Taillefer said Ottawa Boat Cruise will run tests in the Ottawa River for the next week or so, with the goal being to have the cruise open for business by the middle of June. More information about the electric boat is available at rideaucanalcruises.ca.

Bike park proposal gets OK from Community Association Melissa Murray
mmurray@metroland.com
The Carlington Hill bike park proposal received the thumbs up from about 70 per cent of the community association’s members in attendance for the May 25 annual general meeting. The bike park proposal, brought forward by the Ottawa Mountain Bike Association, includes several phases. The first phase, which was approved by the community, includes a track to be built on the ledge between the reservoir and the top of the main slope, towards the western half of the space. The track will include dirt hills, jumps and or berms with some obstacles made of wood. The park would be open to all ages and skill levels. Although 87 of 124 members voted for the bike park, the meeting wasn’t smooth sailing. When it kicked off around 7 p.m., the meeting was already heated, with a member accusing the president of running
a dictatorship. “(Canada) is a democracy,” said the man. Following the exchange, several members called for order, while an amendment to the agenda was being proposed. Community association member Denise Harper, who later ran to be on the community association’s board, but was not elected, asked the motion about the bike park proposal be moved further down the agenda. She said members should have to hear about the proposal before voting. Community association president Cameron Ketchum, who was re-elected at the meeting, explained he didn’t support the amendment, adding he was trying to keep the process from getting confused. “It’s not a dictatorship move,” he said. “I want to move forward with clarity to achieve specific results during this meeting. I don’t want it taken over … to the detriment of the entire membership.”
Members rejected the motion and proceeded to vote by secret ballot throughout the meeting. Harper then asked for an amendment to the motion, to ensure the community association wouldn’t be on the hook for any environmental assessments, something city staff later said would never happen. During a question-and-answer period, members asked about dust and dirt, the impact on environmentally protected areas and where users might park their cars. River Coun. Riley Brockington was also on hand at the meeting and told the crowd the city’s parks and recreation department is receptive to the idea of the bike park proposal and new partnerships to expand the city’s recreational offerings. But he assured residents nothing is happening tomorrow. “I’ve received a significant amount of correspondence about this matter,” he said, adding he wants the issue to go through the appropriate

David Marchand-Smith, a member of the Ottawa Mountain Bike Association, answers residents’ questions about a proposed pump track for the Carlington Hill. The group is hoping to begin work on the project this year after it received a thumbs up from the community association. city committee, so councillors can hear residents as well, unlike what happened with the contentious Mooney’s Bay Park proposal, which didn’t go through that process.
“Nothing will be rushed through. That’s the fairest way to proceed.” Community association member Wendy Tucker said the city’s handling of the
Mooney’s Bay Park is one of the reasons why residents are so concerned about the project. See BIKE, page 33

Bike track gets approval from 70 per cent of membership Continued from page 32
She also raised concerns about whether the bike park would be locked after hours and supervised while it was open. “There’s a sex registry and we have sex offenders and pedophiles in the area and I want to know at what age people will be supervised,” Tucker said. But ultimately, explained both Ketchum and other members in the crowd, it’s up to parents to supervise their children, just like at any other city park. But while some members spoke against the proposal, others thought it was time for the community to step up and provide new activities for residents. “I’ve been in the neighbourhood for 62 years,” said Marjorie Lemieux. “We need to advance and stop going backwards; go
forwards. We’re all getting older, let our grandchildren have some fun.” Kevin Jones, who works in the city’s parks and recreation department, likened the fears around the bike park to those that existed when the city first installed skate parks. Residents were concerned about them attracting drugs and delinquents, but in fact they are one of the most used parks in the city. “This is an opportunity for something new and different,” he said. “It’s just different from what you’re used to.” Next the Ottawa Mountain Bike Association will work with Brockington to have the proposal heard by the city’s community and protective services committee. The neighbourhood association is also hosting another meeting about the
proposal for interested residents. David Marchand-Smith, a member of the bike association, said the group’s goal will be to get started this year, but with between $80,000 and $100,000 needing to be fundraised, it could take a while to get things started. “At the rate we are going, it will take 10 years to raise $80,000,” he said following the meeting. The motion approved by the community association also featured several conditions, including that no further phases of the bike park be implemented without its approval, that a working group made up of association members be consulted on construction details, that the park be free and accessible for all ages and that appropriate environmental experts be consulted.
Notice of Commencement Transit Project Assessment Process Western Extension of the Confederation Line Light Rail Transit The Project The City of Ottawa is proposing to expand the City’s Confederation Line Light Rail Transit (LRT) network, currently under construction, to the east, west and southwest regions of the City. The Western Extension of the Confederation Line Light Rail Transit includes extending the Confederation Line further west from Tunney’s Pasture Station to Baseline and Bayshore Stations as well as a developing a Maintenance and Storage Facility in the Nepean-Woodroffe corridor, south of Norice Avenue. The purpose of this project is to provide a higher level of transit service to growing communities in the west and southwest of the city, a need identified in the City of Ottawa’s 2013 Transportation Master Plan. The Plan will: • Add 13 kilometres of rail and 10 LRT stations to the City’s overall transit network at Westboro, Dominion, Cleary, New Orchard, Lincoln Fields, Iris, Baseline, Queensview, Pinecrest, and Bayshore. • Connect directly to the West Transitway and the Southwest Transitway to facilitate connections to the communities of Kanata and Barrhaven. The Process Planning efforts have been completed and this project will be assessed according to the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08. As part of the TPAP, an Environmental Project Report (EPR) will be prepared by the proponent; the City of Ottawa, to document the study process, the environmental conditions, alternatives considered, the planned project, anticipated environmental impacts, appropriate mitigation and the project’s consultation program. During the Notice of Commencement phase of the environmental assessment, copies of the draft Environmental Project Report (EPR) will be available to provide interested parties time to review and provide feedback prior to the formal 30-day public review period following the posting of the Notice of Completion. The draft EPR will be available in print at the locations below: City Hall Client Service Centre 110 Laurier Avenue West Ottawa, ON K1P 1J1

Crossing your fingers made things right when telling a lie
M
other put her hand on my shoulder and looked me square in the eye. I was about to head out to school, and I knew exactly what she was going to say, so I put my hands behind my back and crossed my fingers. I had it on good authority that if you were about to tell a lie, crossing your fingers made things right. “Now don’t you and Velma go
MARY COOK Memories walking in those ditches of water on the way home from school. It’s still too cold, and you’ll come with a
death of the cold, and we’ll have to call Mrs. Beam and you know what that means: the onion treatment.” With my fingers knitted behind my back, I assured her we would stay clear of the ditches, knowing full well that Velma and I, once we got rid of our brothers and sisters, would do what we did just about every day coming home from the Northcote School. The ditches still had water from
the spring run-off, and heavy rains for several days made them look like little streams, and were too inviting to be ignored. As soon as the coast was clear, Velma and I headed behind a cluster of cedars, peeled off our shoes and stockings, crammed them into our book bags, and tucked our skirts into the elastic legs of our navy blue fleece lined bloomers. Making sure no one was on the
Northcote Side Road, we squealed with sheer joy as our bare feet hit the water. The grass underfoot was like silk, and, of course, there was never any garbage thrown in the ditches back then, and we sloshed along at our heart’s content, heading from the side road from the school, almost to where our lanes began. See WE, page 36
Pet Adoptions
MARLEY (ID# A095270)
Meet Marley, an active and playful girl looking for her new best friend. Marley can’t wait to find a new family to have fun outdoor adventures with this summer. She loves to go on long walks and play fetch with her favourite tennis ball. After all that exercise she likes to stretch out and relax. Marley would like all of her new family’s love and attention to herself, so she’d prefer to be the only pet in the home. She is fully house trained, so she’d be a great match for a working family. Are you the one Marley’s been waiting for? For more information on Marley and all the adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd Check out our website at www.ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.
More than Good Manners
Most people want a dog with good manners and social skills when interacting with people, they want a dog that doesn’t jump up, scare children, or pull on the leash, and can respond to at least simple commands. Most dogs aren’t born with great manners, but obedience training can correct unwanted behaviour and build a bond between a dog and their owner. Obedience classes can also save a dog’s life. By learning to recall, you can prevent your dog from being hit by a car or attacked by wildlife or unknown dogs. Obedience classes can lessen or eliminate those behaviours that can make living
with a dog a minor hell: destructiveness, excessive barking, and house soiling for example. Dog obedience helps strengthen the bond between dogs and their owners. Not only do dogs learn how to be good canine citizens, but the sessions are also a valuable experience for new owners who learn how to help their new friend be the best dog possible. The Ottawa Humane Society offers both group and private obedience classes along with workshops and seminars. Learn more at www.ottawahumane.ca/your-pet/dog-obedience.
Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly! To learn more about adopting an animal from the Ottawa Humane Society please contact us:

COOPER
Hello! My name is Cooper. I am a gentle giant. I just had my second birthday this past February 5th. I love to be outdoors and I carry my ball with me everywhere. I also love to pick up big trees and drag them around when I go on walks. Sometimes I even trip my mommy with them. I have an awesome puppy dog face that gets me treats from my parents and strangers alike. I like to announce it when we have guests. I love being outdoors and meeting new dogs. Mommy and daddy like to take me out on long adventures but I don’t like to go outside when it’s raining. I am a spoiled boy but I am also a very good boy so that’s OK. Here is a picture of me as a puppy. Look how grown up I am now!!

considered the utmost joy, walking barefoot in the water-filled ditches of the Northcote Side Road. Our book bags hung from our shoulders, and we reluctantly left the ditches as we neared our lane, which was just before the Thom’s, gingerly stepping onto the dirt road and heading for the cluster of cedars behind the rail fence. We sat on the big rock and let the sun dry our legs, which were now the colour of beets freshly pulled from the garden, and still dripping wet from the water in the ditches. Our legs had to be dried completely before we could put on our long stockings and shoes. And Velma and I laughed and delighted in the conspiracy of the whole escapade. Knowing perfectly well, as long as the ditches held the water, we would repeat our adventure. We couldn’t spend too much time getting back into our stockings and
shoes, or our mothers would be suspicious when we didn’t arrive home when they expected us. After all, it was only three-and-a-half miles between the Northcote School and our farms, and so we had to be quick about it. I tore down our long lane like someone possessed, and the last I saw of Velma, she was already at their mailbox. I wasn’t that far behind my sister and brothers, tearing into the house out of breath, and heading right upstairs as I always did to get out of my school clothes, passing Mother who was busy at the Findlay Oval getting supper ready for the table. I kept my fingers crossed as usual, just in case she questioned me about walking in the water-filled ditches. My stockings were damp, so I draped them over the chair near my bed, tucked my not too dry shoes under the washstand, and headed downstairs in
my play clothes. “I bet you and Velma walked the ditches on your way home,” my hateful brother Emerson said at the supper table. I dropped my fork, put my hands behind my back with my fingers crossed, and denied it vehemently. Mother was too busy filling our plates to take notice, as I shot daggers at Emerson. My beloved sister Audrey vowed she saw Velma and me walking on the Northcote Side Road all the way home from school, and we were nowhere near the ditches. She had her hands behind her back, and I knew, without a doubt, her fingers were crossed. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?
