EMC news - The famous quote that begins with “You can please some of the people all the time …” can be applied to almost all major infrastructure projects, and the city’s western LRT plan is no different. The June 17 open house for the revised “Richmond Underground” plan, held at Ottawa city hall, brought residents into contact with planners, city engineers and political representatives, who all did their best to explain the details of the $980 million plan. Changes totaling $80 million had been made to the previous iteration of the plan, unveiled in April, to miti-

gate the effect on residents living close to the planned route. Reaction to the revised plan – not surprisingly – depended on who you talked to. The anticipated effects for residents living close to the line’s proposed route were still seen as too great in some cases. For others, making the best plan to benefit the most people was paramount. The Richmond Underground route has the LRT vehicles leaving an expanded Dominion Station at the western entrance to the existing Transitway trench, going underground about 300 metres west of that point, near the northern edge of Rochester Field.

EMC news - Though it is still three years away, Hintonburg and Mechanicsville residents are bracing for side effects of LRT construction and seeking ways to mitigate the impact on their communities. Starting in the spring of 2016, buses using the Transitway between Tunney’s Pasture and Lebreton Station will be forced onto surface roads while the route is con-

verted to twin-track for electric rail. With Scott Street being the most obvious (and direct) route downtown, residents living close to that road are worried they’ll face two years of noisy and dangerous traffic once shovels go in the ground. A June 18 meeting allowed neighbours to ask questions of the city’s rail implementation office and the contractor, the Rideau Transit Group. See WIDER, page 21

EMC news - The Ottawa River and Lac Deschenes are home to more than just ducks and geese. That’s the message Nature Canada wants Ottawa residents and visitors to keep in mind when they’re looking to connect with nature. On June 20, members of Nature Canada, Bird Studies Canada, and Birdlife International joined dignitaries at the Canadian Museum of Nature to release a conservation plan drafted by Canada’s Important Bird Area program. Delivered by the three aforementioned organizations and supported by many more naturalist organizations, the IBA monitors and helps raise awareness of myriad bird species -- and their vulnerability -- in selected areas, including the Ottawa River and Lac Deschenes. “Geese are the first thing people think of when they think of the Ottawa River and its shorelines, but we want people to know there’s much more than that,” said Alex MacDon-

ald, manager of the protected areas program at Nature Canada. MacDonald said the region serves as a “stopover” or refueling site for migrating birds, with the open water provided by the Deschenes Rapids allowing many species heading north (or south) to hunt food and shelter on islands and outcroppings. “We like to think of it as a wildlife superhighway -- it really is a globally important corridor where birds travel. Herons, for example, are very vulnerable to predators, and needs islands in the river in order to rest.” MacDonald said more than 350 species of birds call the Ottawa River home for some part of the year. The conservation plan looks at what species the IBA is seeing in the area and speaks to what the city can do collectively to maintain the current habitat. The June 20 announcement included a visit by Japan’s Princess Takamado, who was given a tour of some of the most significant bird areas along the river. More information about the IBA and ecology of the area can be found at lacdeschenes.ca

Students put knowledge into motion

SMALL BUSINESS CHALLENGE

Hand-built custom bikes roll out of Woodroffe classroom Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

EMC news - Holding something in your hands that you’ve created through knowledge and hard work is one thing, rolling along the asphalt on it is something different -and much cooler -- altogether. The students of Patrick Lawlor’s Grade 12 transportation technology class at Woodroffe High School know that feeling after putting the finishing touches on a pair of three-and four-wheeled superbikes last week. Making the adult-sized bikes allowed the students to put their accumulated skills to use in creating something fun. “Because of the size of the shop, I can’t always have them working on cars -- with 20 kids, that doesn’t work,” said Lawlor. “I like to see them designing and creating stuff. This project allows them to do a range of things -- designing, cutting, welding, building brackets. There are many aspects to it, so it’s a well-rounded project.” Most of the parts came from recycled bicycles, although two automobile rims were modified to create the back wheels on

Woodroffe High School transportation technology teacher Patrick Lawlor, back left, is seen with Grade 12 students Nick Discombe, Dylan Toal, Kirk Barber and Kevin Essiambre (seated). Grade 12 students in the class were tasked with creating a self-propelled vehicle using skills learned throughout the year. what Lawlor describes as an adult version of the Big Wheel bike he pedaled as a kid. One of the students was tasked with cutting the centre out of the car rims. “Kunstadt Sports provided us with the spokes and axle to use,” said Lawlor. The four-wheeled bike features two pedals and a

homemade bench seat. Overall, the two vehicles, which will stay at the school -- at least temporarily -- were created over the course of three classes. Having taught students the art of mechanics at Woodroffe for 16 years, Lawlor takes pleasure in seeing his students graduate after having created something with their own hands, as well

as the tools they were trained to use. Many students will go on to post-secondary training for careers in trades, technology, design and engineering. “You see a lot of pride in their faces,” said Lawlor. “Usually there’s some relief when they get to drive it and see that it works.”

City won’t let STO run buses on Boteler Alternatives yet to be revealed Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - The city is putting the brakes on a plan to let The city is looking at other routes to get STO buses to a planned roundabout at Union STO run buses down Boteler Street and King Edward Avenue, where they wait to start their routes, after Boteler Street Street. But Ottawa is stopping residents complained about the possibility of buses on their street. short of ordering the National Capital Commission to keep bus lanes on Sussex as part of a road revamp and a roundabout to be built at Union Street and King Edward Avenue is still a go. Those changes are all part of plan to deal a need for Gatineau’s transit authority, STO, to queue up its buses on the north section of King Edward. Because the NCC wants a reconstruction of Train like a pro with the pros this summer in 3 great weeks of Camp Sussex Drive to convert the road into a scenic boulevard as part of its Confederation Boulevard ceremonial route, bus lanes will be removed from the north section of Sussex. That would leave STO’s buses stuck in traffic in the afternoon after they file over the bridge to await their runs through Ottawa’s downtown, so Ottawa offered to let the buses cut through Lowertown to get to the layup point. • Canadian National Team Pool Player Alyscha Mottershead That incensed a handful of • And from the Liverpool Ladies FC residents during a meeting on Katie Brussel June 13, and Rideau-Vanier Coun.

back. It will be used,” Fleury said. An email the city sent to concerned residents said the feedback resulted in the councillor asking city staff to “abandon the removal of buses on Sussex Drive.” A separate email sent from Fleury’s office to a resident stated: “As a result, today staff informed the NCC that the STO bus lane will remain on Sussex Drive as is currently and that they will need to compromise their vision of Confederation Boulevard. Therefore, the Boteler Street proposal is no longer to be considered.” In an interview, Fleury wouldn’t confirm that the Sussex bus lane would be kept, adding that people should “stay tuned” because the alternatives would be revealed and explained in the near future. Those alternatives will not include cancelling the roundabout, Fleury said. Although the roundabout, which carries a price tag of $1 million, is part of the solution for the STO problem created by the Sussex redesign, the roundabout has broader benefits, Fleury said. It’s part of a larger solution to get STO buses out of Lowertown streets, particularly Dalhousie and Cumberland streets, which is another route the buses currently use to turn around.

FILE

Mathieu Fleury, councillor for Rideau-Vanier Ward, explained alternatives to running buses down Boteler Street will be revealed in the near future. Until the city can work with STO to get those buses out of city streets and keep them on the Transitway, Fleury said Ottawa must focus on mitigating the impact of having Gatineau’s buses on our streets. The roundabout is part of the overall $31-million budget for the reconstruction of Sussex from St. Patrick Street to King Edward Avenue. The city needs to replace the underground utilities, but the project also includes upgrades requested and partially funded by the NCC, such as more upscale construction materials and streetscaping. Bicycle lanes will be added to the road.

Parkbus now catering to car-less campers Steph Willems

steph.willems@metroland.com

EMC news - Love camping but don’t have a car? No problem. That’s the message the creators of Parkbus are spreading to Ottawans, now that the provincial park bus service that began in Toronto three years ago has come to the capital. Parkbus founders Boris Issaev and Alex Berlyand joined a group of campers at the Mountain Equipment Co-op in Westboro for the Parkbus’ inaugural trip from Ottawa to Algonquin Park on Friday morning. With stops at campgrounds, canoe access points and lodges, the bus is designed to open up the province’s largest park to urbanites who don’t own their own vehicles. “We’ve been running for the past three years out of Toronto -- ridership has been increasing, things have

STEPH WILLEMS/METROLAND

Parkbus founders Alex Berlyand and Boris Issaev prepare to board the inaugural bus from Ottawa to Algonquin Park outside Mountain Equipment Co-op on June 21. Parkbus has operated out of Toronto for three years and is now in Ottawa, giving car-less campers and nature enthusiasts the option of Algonquin Park getaways by bus.

been going well, so we’ve started a new pilot project out of Ottawa,” said Berlyand. From its humble beginnings, starting with seven outdoor enthusiasts and a white van, the initiative soon attracted hundreds of Torontonians to the service. Ontario Parks quickly signed on to support the project, with funding also coming from the provincial government. Mountain Equipment Co-op, not surprisingly, is a strong supporter and partner of this initiative and many others. The outfitter has been funding Ontario Parks’ lifejacket loaner program for several years as a safety initiative. After the inaugural park run, another trip will take campers and kayakers to the park in August and again in September. Bradley Fauteux,

managing director of Ontario Parks, called Parkbus a “green, accessible policy” that all governments should support, referred to Algonquin Park as “the crown jewel” of Ontario’s parks system. Algonquin Park was created in 1893 as the first provincial park in Ontario, preserving a vast tract of pristine wilderness for residents to enjoy. “We’re really committed to providing sustainable recreation and camping ongoing, so Parkbus is the kind of initiative we hope to support more of in the future,” said Fauteux. Ottawa Centre MPP and Labour Minister Yasir Naqvi said he hopes to see the Parkbus service continue in his community. “We’re calling it a pilot right now, but hopefully we can make it permanent,” said Naqvi. “I think it’s such a neat idea. If you don’t own a car, you still have the right to go to Algonquin Park and have a grand old time.” Information on the Parkbus’ program can be found at parkbus.ca

EMC news - A new president is at the helm of the Glebe Community Association and in an effort to spark new interest and relay information to the neighbourhood, the organization is moving online and interactive. Christine McAllister took over the position of association president on June 11. She has lived in the Glebe for 10 years and throughout her time living there, she said she has participated and been involved in a number of association and neighbourhood activities. McAllister said to her, this new position as is all about keeping a strong community strong -- and maybe engaging a few newbies along the way. In order to do that, she plans to set up a blog as a way to interact with the community. “It’s about sharing information in an informal way,” McAllister said. Residents can check out the

blog at glebeca.blogspot.ca. McAllister has already been busy with two posts, one welcoming residents and the other was a slew of images showing off artists from the New Art Festival, which took place on June 15. McAllister has not specified how many times she will post each month, simply stating she will aim to write as much as she can, focusing on events and issues as they come up. One goal she has already identified is three questions she feels the board needs to address this year: • How the association will be able to hear about issues in different areas of the Glebe. • How the association will get information from the city and other sources out to the neighbourhood, so that if there is something residents may be interested in, they will be able to find out about it. • How the association will be able to provide opportunities for residents to become involved in the issues they care about.

“I have big shoes to fill, there have been some great presidents in the Glebe, but I am very excited about having this opportunity,” McAllister said. Residents filled the meeting room at the Glebe Community Centre on June 11 for the association’s annual general meeting. The annual meeting also welcomed a motion to officially join forces with the Glebe Annex Community Association. The Annex will continue to operate as its own association; but insurance and volunteer membership would be handled by the Glebe. This motion was unanimously passed. The association takes a break for the summer, with most board members communicating with each other and the community through email. McAllister added she hopes the blog will become another way for residents to stay informed in between meetings.

EDITORIAL

Well, what now Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park?

o, the province has declared it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t support an interprovincial bridge crossing at Kettle Island. OK. This newspaper has supported the construction of at bridge at that location in the past, but barring a change in the political winds, the route favoured by the National Capital Commission appears to be dead in the water. But what does the city do now? That the capital region needs another Ottawa River crossing does not need any further justification: the last bridge, Portage, was built by the NCC in 1973 when the area population stood at about half of what it is now. As cities grow, the need for infrastructure grows along with it. So what do we do now? The province has said it will work with the city to develop a new transportation master plan to accommodate future growth, but the need for a new interprovincial crossing canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be ignored by such an exercise â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ottawa and Gatineau donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist independently of one another. Some have suggested constructing a tunnel beneath the river to divert truck traffic away from Lowertown â&#x20AC;&#x201C; King Edward Avenue is currently the most-used route into the city for trucks moving to and from Gatineau â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but such a plan would cost

significantly more than a bridge. Perhaps one of the other routes studied by the NCC, at Lower Duck Island or McLaurin Bay, would be better. Except they have both been identified as being more expensive, according to the NCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s studies, and would require significant additional infrastructure to connect with the rest of the road network. Whatever the answer, action needs to be taken. An east-end interprovincial crossing has been discussed for decades and the issues are not going away any time soon. The efficient transport of goods to and from the city is vital to economic growth, which effects employment, wealth and consumer prices in the capital region. Now that the province has taken its stand, what will it do to address the problem? It was not particularly helpful to denounce a plan without offering an alternative. Perhaps the government wants to take some time to study the issue, but havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we been doing just that for more than 20 years? It would have been more responsible of Transportation Minister Glenn Murray to resist making his announcement until the province had something tangible to offer the residents of Ottawa in the way of an alternative. No action simply is not a responsible choice when it comes to Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future.

You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get there from here in a big city

he other day someone was talking in the paper about light rail and the lamentable absence of a north-south route. As luck would have, this discussion coincided with a couple of drives to the airport and back, in the period between 4 and 6 p.m. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ever do this. As far as I can figure out, having tried all the available routes to and from the middle west of Ottawa, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get there from here. And you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get back. And sure, you can suggest picking some other time of day, but you might have a hard time convincing the airlines to change their schedules. The big problem is that everybody wants to go south and more and more of them are choosing the Airport Parkway (by the way, how come it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been named after Sir John A. Macdonald yet?). Most of them donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use the parkway to get to the airport. They us it get to other places and the parkway, nicely narrowing from four lanes to two just when the four are most needed, canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t handle the traffic. Nor can Bronson Avenue, as the people who live in the Glebe have long known. And even getting to the parkway is no pic-

At certain points the east-bound and west-bound travellers can stare across the median at each other as they sit mired in traffic. That leaves the Merivale-Hunt Club-Uplands Drive option, which worked pretty well about 15 years ago. Merivale is, well, Merivale. And Hunt Club has a huge jam-up, just about any time of day, at its Riverside and Prince of Wales intersections. Still, it takes about the same amount of time as the Baseline-Merivale-Airport Parkway option â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which is to say, twice the amount of time it takes in off hours. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d think it would be easier coming back, but it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. The parkway sails along

nicely, but Hunt Club has the same problems going east. Baseline-Heron has the same congestion going west. Face it, everybody wants to go everywhere. At a certain time of day, every direction in Ottawa seems to contain a favourite destination. You can sit still in your car no matter which direction you are facing. One driver, lulled by a smooth ride north on the parkway, decided to stay on it, head north on Bronson to Carling. That worked well until three blocks from the Carling intersection, when everything decided to stop moving for 15 minutes. An option would have been to keep going and turn onto the Queensway, but why would anyone do that? It is easy enough for an occasional visitor to the airport to complain, but there are people who have to do this, or a variation of it, every day, usually at a time when everybody else is trying to do it as well. And you only have to drive south a bit and look at all the new construction to realize that the situation is going to be way worse in the near future. It would be nice to think that the new Strandherd Bridge, if it is ever finished, will make things better, but it is hard to see how it can help much. Building some light rail out there would

really help, but that is probably decades in the future, not to mention many millions of dollars. More houses are going up and more people are traveling on the same roads. Maybe some of them will start working from home. Maybe some employers may decide to locate where the people are. You can only hope. Meanwhile there will be considerable agitation to build more lanes on this road and that, which never seems to solve anything. We wanted to become a big city. Well, guess what.

memory and impaired social judgment. One scientist quoted in the article went so far as to suggest that sleep deprived individuals act in a similar way to those under the influence of alcohol, even putting women at higher risk of sexual harassment and unwanted pregnancies. Just last week, my family doctor mentioned research circulating in the medical community that seems to be strengthening the link between long-term sleep deprivation and fibromyalgia, a chronic pain and fatigue disorder. Ninety per cent of fibromyalgia patients are women. A 2011 Norwegian study on the subject shockingly concluded that long-term sleep deprivation triples women’s risk of getting fibromyalgia. Researchers began by interviewing 12,350 healthy, pain-free women about their sleep habits. A decade later, those who had identified sleep difficulties at the beginning of the study were three times more likely than those who said they slept well to have developed fibromyalgia symptoms. All this is horrible and shocking, but is it enough to make a nation of fatigued individuals change THIS WEEK’S POLL QUESTION: Should the province have pulled its support from our behaviour?

that haven’t had a full night’s sleep in more than a decade. They don’t believe in sleep-training, they say, which means they’ve got toddlers waking every two hours to feed and school-aged children refusing bedtimes or waking up frequently with night terrors. Although my friends seem to be coping for the moment, I worry about their health in 10 years’ time, and the health of their children. Children need a lot more sleep than parents realize. School-age kids need 10-11 hours of uninterrupted sleep per night to be healthy. Kids under four need 11-12 hours of consecutive sleep per night, plus naps. And what happens if they don’t? Well, not only does it put their immune systems at higher risk of contracting viruses, but, as Savage notes in her Maclean’s piece, researchers have found “inadequate sleep in children has been linked to hyperactivity and even incorrect diagnosis of attention deficit disorder (ADD).” Recently, we were experiencing some issues with one of our children. Was it ADD? He seemed chronically anxious, temperamental and frustratingly inattentive. It wasn’t until I started researching sleep that I realized he’s been running a deficit for several weeks – call it end-of-school fever. We rolled back his bedtime by an hour and, within a week, he’s become a different kid. When I’ve advocated for sleep training to some parents, they’ve made the false assumption that sleep training causes anxiety. In fact, the opposite is true. Most disturbing to me, as a parent, is the link between sleep deprivation and depression, including chronic depression leading to suicide. As a parent, I see it as my responsibility to teach my kids to respect sleep, and show them how to get there, from as early as possible.

EMC news - Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley is spitting mad over the city’s lax procedures to help homeowners who fall victim to the city’s “sewer blasts.” There’s no way to put it delicately, Hubley said. The way the city clears blocked sewer pipes can sometimes cause the sewer’s contents – including human waste – to explode from a toilet into someone’s home. This happens to an average of 55 buildings in the city each year, according to a 2009 city report. “It’s hazardous waste,” Hubley said. But there is a simple way to prevent it, he said – one that he has been working with city staff to implement since shortly after he was elected in 2010. “(Staff) told me the simple solution is … what your mother told you as a young boy: to put the (toilet) seat down,” he said. Since he found that out thanks to an inquiry by his predecessor, Peggy Feltmate, Hubley has asked for staff to let him know before they show up on a street to clear the sewers. He sends out a flyer to all the affected homes to let them know how to prevent issues. Hubley thought that was being done for councillors across the city, but he was “shocked” to find out on June 19 that other councillors were not being told when sewer clearing is happening in their wards. A livid Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume raised the issue at a June 18 environment committee meeting. He recounted a story of a resident in his ward who suffered that fate and was sprayed with effluent as a result

of sewer cleaning. When the resident called 311, they were given no information or advice on how to deal with the situation and were told to contact their insurance provider. “If someone gets splashed with that effluent while they’re doing the laundry, we don’t give them any advice,” Hume said. “It’s incredibly poor customer service. “In the world of municipal politics, there is nothing worse than crap in peoples’ basements,” he added. Hume said the city should be responsible for the cleanup and should not “download” the responsibility onto homeowners. Hubley agreed. “We created this problem. We should be part of the solution,” he said. Sewer cleaning needs to be done approximately every five to seven years in each community, Hubley said. Annual clearing happens in problem areas where sewers have dips that collect leaves and other materials that block the flow. The other cleaning option would be to send city workers into the sewers to dig up the blockages, Hubley said. That process is more tedious and expensive and involves closing roads, he said. There are approximately 200,000 buildings connected to 2,700 kilometres of sanitary pipes in the city of Ottawa. Each year, the city cleans 800 km of pipes in front of approximately 60,000 buildings. The report indicated in 2009 there were 1,591 buildings receiving special notifications of sewer cleaning. Recurrences are uncommon, the report states.

f health statistics are to be believed, I spent most of the winter living like most of you, dear readers. In other words, I ate too much, sat too much, drank too much and failed to get 150 minutes of exercise per week, (like a shocking 80 per cent of adult Canadians). These are all things that contribute to chronic disease and early death. As a recent Maclean’s cover story highlighted, however, there’s something else that’s debilitating and slowly killing us – sleep deprivation. Adults require 8.5 hours of sleep, on average, per night, yet most of us are running a devastating sleep deficit. The June 24th feature highlighted a number of disturbing medical studies that would suggest it’s time to better prioritize sleep in our lives. One, out the University of Chicago, restricted seven healthy, thin volunteers to 4.5 hours of sleep per night. “Their very cells had been transformed,” summarizes journalist Luiza Ch. Savage in Maclean’s. “It was as if the bodies of the otherwise healthy specimens had been swapped with that of someone else: someone heavy and sick.” Savage goes onto summarize a number of international studies that not only link sleep deprivation to depleted cell growth and repair, diabetes and obesity, but also to decreased pain tolerance, weakened

Province wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t back Kettle Island bridge No Ontario money likely ends talk of crossing near Aviation Parkway Nevil Hunt nevil.hunt@metroland.com

EMC news - When it comes to interprovincial bridges, it takes two to tango. And Ontario isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ready to dance just yet. The Ontario government has â&#x20AC;&#x153;reset the conversationâ&#x20AC;? on the site of a future bridge between Gatineau and Ottawa, says provincial Transportation Minister Glenn Murray. He announced on June 17 that Ontario will not provide funding for a bridge proposal that would cross at Kettle Island and make use of the Aviation Parkway to connect bridge traffic with Highway 417. A recently completed environmental assessment selected Kettle Island as the best place for a new bridge. Without provincial funding, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unlikely a bridge could go ahead as planned. Murrayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement â&#x20AC;&#x201C; held outside the Mont-

fort Hospital within sight of the Aviation Parkway â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was greeted with cheers by a handful of local residents. Manor Park homeowners had been vocal in their criticism of the Kettle Island crossing because it would bring truck traffic to the parkway as interprovincial trade used the tree-lined road as the shortest connection between the bridge and Highway 417. Murray said the province â&#x20AC;&#x153;listened very carefullyâ&#x20AC;? to the public. He said the Liberal caucus, including local MPPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Madeleine Meilleur and Phil McNeely, were unanimous in turning down any involvement with the Kettle Island plan. Meilleur called the provincial decision a victory for residents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My thanks go out to the community,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You were all there at every meeting.â&#x20AC;? We need to make sure we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t move a problem from

one established community to another,â&#x20AC;? Meilleur said, alluding to the heavy truck traffic that currently uses the Macdonald-Cartier Bridge and King Edward Avenue, and that could shift to any new crossing. McNeely said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happy to see the province walk away from the Kettle Island plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really pleased that the message (from Murray) came out strong,â&#x20AC;? McNeely said, adding that the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s east-west traffic needs to be addressed before a bridge is built. TUNNEL? NEVIL HUNT/METROLAND

Murray said the province plans to work closely with the city to re-establish a transportation master plan for the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need a longer-term view and a conversation with the whole region,â&#x20AC;? Murray said, adding that means looking at east-west travel, truck routes and getting cars off the road by investing in public transit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The provincial government has to listen closely to municipal councils and may-

The province says it will not put funds towards an interprovincial bridge at Kettle Island, effectively scuttling plans for a new crossing at that location. MPP Madeleine Meilleur, right, is joined by MPP Phil McNeely, far left, and Ontario Minister of Transportation Glen Murray at the announcement, made outside the Montfort Hospital on June 17. ors,â&#x20AC;? Murray said. Murray said a master plan for Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transportation needs could include a tunnel between Gatineau and Ottawa, a tunnel only for trucks, or even a ring road around the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s established communities, an idea that was floated about a decade ago and then shelved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to do is thrust new bridges and highways through existing neighbourhoods,â&#x20AC;? Murray said. Mayor Jim Watson said he was pleased to hear the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It mirrors what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve said all along,â&#x20AC;? Watson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s number one transportation priority is transit â&#x20AC;Ś We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take our eyes off that ball.â&#x20AC;? LOCAL SUPPORT

Among those in attendance at the announcement was OrlĂŠans resident Louis Caron, a member of Sustainable Ottawa along with some residents of Manor Park and

Lowertown. He said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been working for five years on the truck traffic issue. Caron said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see a vehicle tunnel between Gatineau and Highway 417 that stretches under Dalhousie Street and Nicholas Avenue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would eliminate 11 traffic lights,â&#x20AC;? he said of the proposal, which has already been shared with the city. He called the idea of resurrecting the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transportation master plan an excellent suggestion, noting that had a Kettle Island bridge gone ahead, the number of people using public transit could actually drop as riders switch to cars. One local resident who arrived at the Montfort Hospital announcement site on his bike said he agreed with the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision. Robert, who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give his last name, lives near Manor Park. He said the question of a Kettle Island bridge has been around for a long time, and despite the province pulling the plug, the city needs to address the downtown truck

traffic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They still have to find a solution,â&#x20AC;? he said. Cumberland Coun. Steven Blais said the announcement is an important decision for the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I applaud the provincial government for making the decision,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding that spending should be prioritized. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a billion or a billion-and-a-half dollars floating around it should be spent on the LRT. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve working very hard to get an extension of LRT to OrlĂŠans much sooner than (has been) discussed.â&#x20AC;? Blais also questioned the utility of a crossing at Kettle Island since the completed bridge study says a crossing at Kettle Island would have â&#x20AC;&#x153;almost no impact on trucks in downtown and Lowertown.â&#x20AC;? OrlĂŠans Coun. Bob Monette also spoke about spending priorities, but still thinks Kettle Island may be the site of a bridge far in the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If there ever was going to be a bridge built, I think Kettle Island was always the best location,â&#x20AC;? Monette said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but when it comes to priorities for OrlĂŠans, right now a bridge is not a priority. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea to identify the future location, but right now all our resources should be focused on LRT and infrastructure. What we need right now is for the province, the federal government and the municipality to concentrate on the major issues at hand.â&#x20AC;? Watson said the idea of tunnel for trucks under Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown was dismissed too early in the process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What (the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision) should do is act as an impetus to look at that more closely,â&#x20AC;? Watson said. The mayor also floated the idea of using tolls to help pay for the tunnel, adding that Murray was â&#x20AC;&#x153;enthusiasticâ&#x20AC;? about that idea during a meeting on June 18.

Ottawa Senators home rink renamed Canadian Tire Centre company that has the kind of track record of corporate citizenship that Canadian Tire does, a company who extensively supports community hockey programs and amateur sports development right across our country, is a partner that I know will be deeply committed to supporting our community and our fans now and well into the future,” he said. “As our fans know, I am deeply committed to supporting our great city on so many levels in the past decade, and I want our fans to know, and the great people of our city to know, I will always work very, very hard to grow our team of partners who have those same values of being committed to community service. Canadian Tire shares those values.” In addition, the partnership will see the launch of a new series of marketing and community programs with Canadian Tire, and also bring their charities even closer together to serve our community. “Without a doubt, this is a partnership that is good for our business, our hockey team, and most importantly, good for our community and our fans,” said Melnyk.

EMC News – The Ottawa Senators have scored with a new partnership. Senators Sports & Entertainment announced on June 18 that the home of the NHL team, Scotiabank Place, will be renamed Canadian Tire Centre. Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk said the longterm agreement will include enhanced community and grassroots activities to help get more kids into the game. The agreement takes effect July 1 and arena-related signage will be in place in time for the 2013-14 NHL season. Present during the announcement were Sens players Daniel Alfredsson, Chris Neil, Kyle Turris, Patrick Wiercioch, and Chris Phillips. Children from Canadian Tire’s Jumpstart program were also on hand to meet their favourite Sens player after the formal announcement at Scotiabank Place. Melnyk called the partnership one that dated back to the club’s establishment, and which the organization could be proud. “We have many corporate and community sponsors that we are very proud to be associated with, but few who can say they’ve been with us from the very beginning,” he said. “It is a long and storied partnership that has strengthened over more than two decades in large part because of a mutual passion for the game of hockey. Needless to say, it’s a partnership we are very proud of, and are pleased to be able to build upon today’s announcement.” Melnyk said they decided to partner with the corporation not only because of its iconic brand, but because of its healthy relationship with its customers. “For me personally, any

GETTING KIDS TO PLAY

Senior vice president of corporate affairs for Canadian Tire, Duncan Fulton, said the signing of the agreement allows them the chance to review the contract every decade or so, with an unlimited number of tender renewals. “The deal we have essentially allows us to be here as long as we’d ever want,” said Fulton. “This is a long term deal for us, and our history in sport and in this region should give everyone comfort that we are here for a very, very long time.” The partnership is a natural

Hockey Canada. “We are proud to have our name on such a world-class facility. This would be one of the first times we see many of our different banners under one roof.” “This is far more than a typical sponsorship deal, and

I believe this is the first time a major sports retailer has been named to a sports arena in the country,” said Fulton. “As an organization, we live and breathe sports every day. You’re going to see us work with the Sens to get many more kids active in sports.”

Ottawa Senators president Cyril Leeder echoed Melnyk’s and Fulton’s comments, saying how the Canadian Tire brand has always been associated with hockey across the country. “We are going to bring many, many exciting fan enhancements to the building, to the community, and more importantly, to our fans. The goal really is to have specific fan enhancements for our fans in the community.” Scotiabank, he mentioned, will continue to be the official bank of the Ottawa Senators under a long term agreement. He thanked them for their long time partnership and support over the years. “They’ve been a great partner for us and we know they will continue to be a great sponsor and great partner going forward,” he said. Part of that contract with Scotiabank was set to expire next year, said Melnyk, and Ottawa Senators were looking to take more of a direction towards sports, knowing full well their direction was more towards financial services.

Cost savings expected in long run: manager Continued from page 1

The line follows the Richmond Road corridor (underground, using a cut-and-cover technique) upon reaching Cleary Avenue (where Cleary Station would be located), heads past the proposed station at New Orchard Avenue before turning south and leaving the tunnel to meet the existing Southwest Transitway at Lincoln Fields. REACTION

Opposition had been fierce to the first version of the plan, which would have had the LRT operating at-grade until reaching the proposed Cleary Avenue station. Other concerns raised including blocked access to Ottawa River bike paths, noise and visual pollution. While the city says pathway access would be preserved and effects mitigated, opposition began as soon as the revised plan was unveiled the week prior to the open house. Don Veaulieu, who lives close to Dominion Station at the very end of Berkley Av-

enue, didn’t like the new location of Dominion shown in renderings as being further east than where it is now. “If they move (the station) further east, I will be right next to the line,” said Veaulieu, adding the above-ground structure would be an eyesore and could lead to the loss of trees bordering the Transitway trench. A local community group called Underground Solution, led by Skead Street resident Leslie Taylor, denounced the modified plan at the outset, saying that the entire western LRT line should be buried. Rich Brandau, a member of the group who lives on Westminster Avenue, sat down with an engineer at the open house to discuss his group’s concerns. He came away from the meeting still concerned about the greenspace along the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkways, between Cleary Ave. and Dominion Station. Despite a large portion of it being buried, surface vegetation would have to be removed and then replanted, he said, leading to a period of deforestation before it all grows back. “As a capital city, the view

Residents discuss LRT options during an open house at city hall on June 17. (heading downtown) on the parkway is important,” said Brandau, adding the at-grade stretch would still act as a barrier. “It is just a few acres (of land), but it’s all there is between the city and the parkway. It’s there for a reason, and it’s not without cost.” Despite this, he said the plans show access to the river pathways being “way better

than it was before.” While he said burying the entire line would solve much of the community concerns, Brandau stated he would prefer to see more early focus on the use of Carling Avenue as a secondary transit route. “The cost factor (of this plan) is enormous…you want to be very careful about where you invest your LRT money to make sure you get the best bang for your buck,” he said. “It would be nice to get rid of bus rapid transit, but that won’t get rid of all the buses on other routes.” COST

NOTICE OF CONSTRUCTION Baseline Road / South West Transitway Overpass Bridge Rehabilitation The City would like to inform you that we will be working on the Baseline Road/ South West Transitway Overpass Bridge Rehabilitation between Woodroffe Avenue and Constellation Drive. The project, which is part of the City’s on-going bridge maintenance program, is anticipated to begin in early July 2013 and be completed by the end of October 2013. The project involves the repair of the above bridge to ensure its continued service and to extend its life expectancy. The General Contractor for the work is Clearwater Structures Inc. It is noted that Baseline Road will have lane reductions in each direction between Woodroffe Avenue and Constellation Drive for the duration of construction. In addition, provision will be made for cyclists and pedestrian during the course of construction.

City treasurer Marian Simulik said cost is the deciding factor in why the city is proposing the Richmond Underground plan. Costing of alternate routes had pegged the Carling corridor at $2.31 billion (via the O-Train corridor) and $2.2 billion (via Churchill Avenue), thus making them too expensive. “It’s a bit of an engineering challenge,” Simulik said of the Carling options, adding that the price tag for burying the entire western LRT line would also be prohibitively expensive. Simulik said the beauty of LRT – besides offering less congestion – is in the inherent operational cost savings when compared to internal combustion-engined buses running on exposed asphalt roadways. A 20 per cent reduction in operating costs can be expected, she said, minus the initial capital investment. “It has a very long life,” she said. “In a 15-year period you have to replace (an asphalt) roadway, and you should be resurfacing it two times per period.” Because capital investments in infrastructure never fully pay for themselves through recouped taxes and charges,

keeping the overall cost of the western LRT plan down is necessary in order to have funds for later expansions to Kanata and Orleans, she said. Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs said city engineers have worked hard to mitigate the LRT’s local impact, but stated they have to work within a $1 billion envelope. “What we’re trying to do, as a city, is to mitigate the largest concerns as they were given to us at the April 25 meeting, and the ongoing communications at that time,” said Hobbs. “Although there is a group asking for everything to be underground, the likelihood of that happening is slim because of the budget we’re working with, and probably some engineering issues. The area we have underground is the area in front of the houses. The area we do not have underground is one small area – there are no houses there.” With opposition to the revised plan limited to distinct geographical regions and perceived impact to those neighbourhoods, Hobbs said residents need to keep in mind the impact to other communities that would result from using extra financial resources to serve one neighbourhood. “My role is to gather all of the concerns from all the different interest groups, and there are a lot of them -- one group does not speak for everyone, one group does not represent everyone,” said Hobbs. “There are a number of different neighbourhoods, condo complexes, interest groups -- what we have to do here is work with all of that, all of the feedback, and design something that is affordable and is a good transit solution for the city. What we have to do is keep it under $1 billion, or we don’t have transit going further west, south and east, and that is not acceptable … . The cost of putting track to Kanata could be $400 million. It is unjustified to say I’m going to take that $400 million and apply it to a 300 metre section in Westboro.” Hobbs said more work was clearly needed on the station front, especially the design and location of Dominion and Cleary Stations, before the process is over. RICHMOND ROAD

Moving west down the proposed route, Dave Grosvenor, president of the Woodroffe North Community Association, said the main concern of both his group and the neighbouring Woodpark Community Association is the location

of New Orchard Station. A large number of highrise apartment buildings border Richmond Road between Woodroffe and Lincoln Fields, containing many seniors and low-income families, making a rapid transit station in the area a no-brainer. However, Grosvenor said his organization’s support of the project hinges on the relocation of the New Orchard station closer to McEwen Avenue in order to better address the community’s needs. An added benefit would be having the use of the triangular piece of unoccupied land at that McEwen/Richmond intersection for station purposes, rather than using the tail end of Byron Linear Park across from New Orchard. “The fact that they’ve considered burying LRT under Richmond Road is a positive move as far as I’m concerned,” said Grosvenor. “Both Woodpark and us think the station should be located at McEwen. It brings the station closer to Ambleside, which has a higher population of seniors. The land isn’t used for anything and would provide easy access for folks living on the north side (of Woodroffe).” Grosvenor said he’d prefer to see that station – proposed as an open-air design – be enclosed to protect transit users from the inevitable bad Canadian weather. The cut and cover process used to bury the line under Richmond would be very disruptive to the area during construction, Grosvenor said, a time period he would like to see shortened. However, he understood there were financial reasons for using the technique. Wanda MacDonald, executive director of the PinecrestQueensway Community Health Centre, said she hasn’t heard much feedback from the community regarding the Western LRT project, likely because it is years away from commencing. They have been briefed on the details of the latest plan by Coun. Mark Taylor, she said. The centre serves many residents in the Richmond Road and Lincoln Fields areas, and MacDonald feels LRT coming through the community would have a positive affect. “Anything that can improve transportation (in the area) is a good thing,” she said. Meetings and refinement to the plan will continue for the next two years before the city goes to the National Capital Commission for approval and begins seeking federal and provincial funding.

Old Ottawa East ecstatic about plans to revive Main Street Laura Mueller

EMC news - A vision for Ottawa’s first “complete street” that affords the same priority to cyclists and pedestrians as to cars attracted around 300 people in Old Ottawa East on June 17. The city is reconstruction Main Street starting in 2015 and the plans call for a radical change that will reduce vehicle lanes from four to two to make way for dedicated cycling tracks, wider sidewalks and dedicated on-street parking. The plans will calm traffic and convert Main Street back into the vibrant community commercial artery it once was, said Capital Coun. David Chernushenko. He’s extremely enthusiastic about the plans and the prominence they give to active modes of transportation, such as cycling and walking. “There are four types of users of any streets (pedestrians, cyclists, motorists and buses),” Chernushenko said. “Our streets are optimized at the moment for one of CITY OF OTTAWA/SUBMITTED those users – cars.

As we head out for the summer break this is a good time to reﬂect on the past school year. I think we can all agree that it was an eventful year for school boards. The labour action of teachers at both the elementary and secondary schools created a lot of uncertainty for extracurricular programming and at times threatened the regular school schedule. It was a difﬁcult period of time for students and parents and we are all glad it has now come to an end. We can look forward to having a more predictable school atmosphere in the upcoming school year.

Trustee Theresa Kavanagh at the recent Pathways program graduation with top award winner, Hussein Samhat.

To prepare for next year the Ottawa Carleton District School Board passed its 2013/14 budget of $827 million for our 70,000 students. I want to thank the school board’s financial team under the direction of Chief Financial Officer Michael Carson for putting together a budget that received unanimous support from trustees. This is particularly impressive given the challenges of the last year. School boards across Ontario had the extraordinary situation of new provincial legislation under Bill 115 imposing new financial commitments and causing labour unrest and fiscal challenges. Despite these setbacks the Ottawa Carleton District School Board was still able to deliver a balanced budget that puts the well-being of our students first. Some of the highlights of the budget were more funding or special education, such as hiring more speech therapists and an emphasis on student well-being by hiring more social workers and psychologist, to help our students cope with mental health issues. This fall, through a pilot project on physical activity levels, we hope to give more opportunities for students to improve their health and perform at their best. During the budget debate I was pleased to put forward an amendment on behalf of our Advisory Committee on the Arts to allocate up to $300,000 more funding for visual art supplies. The Ottawa Carleton District School Board is proud to be a leader in arts education. We are already famous for our speciality arts high school Canterbury H.S but our Board believes that all students need to have creative outlets to perform at their best in all subjects. Last year the OCDSB put forward funding to ensure that all grade 7 and 8 students had access to musical instruments training. This year we will do an inventory of visual art supplies and ensure that all schools have adequate resources for visual art programming. The OCDSB is committed to continue to fund other art disciplines such as dance and theatre in the future budgets. Our Board takes arts funding seriously. It is not just an extra. It is essential to develop creative minds. I look forward to continuing to work on behalf of the community for better education for our students. At this time I want to wish everyone a very happy and safe summer season. See you in the fall!

Singer, cancer survivor promote country song brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC entertainment - A song written by an Orléans singer has quickly spread among parents of sick children in the oncology unit at CHEO as a message of hope. Inspired by Dennis Gudbranson’s fight against cancer as a child, Angela Marie wrote a song titled Give Him Love, which she said has been shared throughout the hospital and at events like the Canadian Cancer Society Relay for Life. Dennis, now 16, plays hockey in Blackburn and just finished Grade 10 at Louis Riel high school. He’s been in remission since age eight, and cancer free since age 12. When he was six years old, he was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, the most common form of leukemia in adults, and began chemotherapy. He relapsed shortly after finishing his chemotherapy and his family began the hunt to find a bone marrow donor. It was a case of impeccable timing: just weeks before, a woman from Newfoundland registered with One Match, a national bone marrow donor registry. She was a match for Dennis, and he had the bone marrow transplant that saved his life. The Gudbranson family are Orlé-

ans residents well known in the hockey world –oldest brother Erik plays in the NHL for the Florida Panthers, and brother Alex plays in the OHL for the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds. They became advocates for the One Match program, and promote the cause at hockey games and other events. Dennis and his family speak and promote events that benefit the cause, especially ones that encourage potential donors to have the inside of their mouth swabbed to join the register. When Marie, 24, a St. Matthew High School and University of Ottawa graduate, heard about Dennis’ story, it stuck with her. She got the idea for the song in the middle of the night this past winter, and stayed up all night writing it. Then she had to talk the Gudbransons to see how they felt about her penning the lyrics to Dennis’ story. “I was nervous because I didn’t want it to come across like I knew what it felt like. It’s not my story,” she said. Dennis’s brother encouraged Marie to record the song, which Dennis himself found out about at the end of May. “It was pretty intense,” he said of his first time hearing the song. “It’s a really accurate description of what we were going through.” The lyrics of the song talk about

the support that Dennis received from his family, with his three siblings and parents constantly at the hospital, and that the family received from the community. “It’s circled around the family and how I felt – so it was kind of like my wishes of what I would want (if I was in the same situation),” Marie said. “It’s really just meant to help people get through a tough time.” She’s already performed the song at the Orléans Relay for Life event, and CHEO and Canadian Blood Services have expressed interest in using the song as well. Marie said the nurses on the oncology floor have been sharing the song with parents of children who are currently undergoing cancer treatments. Dennis still goes back to CHEO once a year to make sure he’s cancer free, but has his goals set on graduating high school and eventually getting a hockey scholarship to play college hockey in the United States. Marie plans to use the song, which was recorded in Vancouver with help from a children’s choir, on her upcoming EP, and eventually on a full CD.

PET OF THE WEEK

Pet Adoptions NOVA ID#A156949

BOSCO ID#A153811

Meet Bosco (A153811) a 2-yearold, neutered male, tricolour Foxhound eager to meet his new family. He was surrendered to the OHS by his owner on May 9, and is now available for adoption. Bosco is a handsome, typical hound who loves making new friends as he has a very

sweet and outgoing disposition! Bosco would also like to explore his surroundings while on his daily walks, and needs an active, adventurous owner who will keep up with him. He would get along well with conﬁdent children, ages 8+, who are looking for a fun-loving play mate! Meet Nova, a one-year-old, unaltered female, black pied Cockatiel, who’s full of personality! Nova was brought to the OHS as a stray on June 8,and is

now ready to find her forever home. Nova loves to have play-time outside of her cage, and would love it if you took the time to let her enjoy climbing about perches on the exterior of her cage daily. Birds love to play and explore. Ladders, ropes, swings and mirrors can all provide great entertainment! Cockatiels enjoy being misted in order to keep clean and will need to have their nails routinely trimmed. Occasional beak filing may be required and should be performed only by a qualified veterinarian. Consult your veterinarian about your bird’s grooming needs. For more information about these or other animals available for adoption, please call the Adoption Centre at 613-725-3166 ext. 258 or visit www.ottawahumane.ca.

We’re just a week away from what is—traditionally, at least— our busiest day of the year at the Ottawa Humane Society: Canada Day. Why Canada Day? There are a few reasons: First, Canada Day is a very busy day helping dogs brought into our care. This is mainly because of the many fireworks displays on July 1st: the big one on Parliament Hill, and the many smaller ones throughout the City. The thing is, most dogs are terrified of fireworks. Even the best trained, never-wanders dog can bolt in fear during fireworks displays and end up at our shelter. Second, late-June, early-July is our peak season for animals surrendered to us by their owner. As holidays approach, and vacation plans develop, sadly, many decide that their dog or cat doesn’t fit with those plans. The result? Hundreds surrendered to the OHS each June and July. When added to an already busy time with many stray animals requiring our care, we can see as many as 40 dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens admitted to our shelter every

Escapade brings electronic celebration to capital Canada Day weekend concert event set to take over RA Centre

EMC entertainment - Pump up the volume, Ottawa. The beat will go on for the fourth-annual Escapade Music Festival, the first festival of its kind in the area, set to take place over the Canada Day weekend near the banks of the Rideau River. Director of partnerships and sponsors, Ali Shafaee, who is also one of the founding members of the festival, said the event has grown from reaching 4,000 electronic/dance music fans to more than 10,000 over the years. Initially setting up a stage in the ByWard Market, they found the demand increasing, and moved to the grounds at the RA Centre on Riverside Drive, which they now call home. This year, they expect to see anywhere between 15,000 and 20,000 people, said Shafaee. The numbers are just a testament to the growing popularity of this genre of music, he said. The event is dedicated to the development of the electronic music scene in the National Capital Region, with the goals of producing a uniquefestival during Canada Day. In 2010, the event was headlined by Canadian-born superstar and Grammy-award winning DJ and producer Deadmau5. This year, the festival returns with Tiesto, who is considered one of the most popular DJâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the world. Tiesto played to sold-out crowds in 2011 and 2012 in the ByWard Market, which provided the 4,000 in attendance with an intimate yet party-inspired

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edition of the Escapade Music Festival will feature dance and electronic-themed music for those who have a passion for the genre. The festival is set to take place over the Canada Day weekend on the grounds of the RA Centre. performance. Attendees also had the chance to be entertained by international stars Laidback Luke and Calvin Harris, as well as six local and national DJs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve really seen the evolution of the festival,â&#x20AC;? said Shafaee. This type of music generally attracts those between the ages of 16 and 29, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dance music and electronic music has really blown up in North America,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of the rock and roll of the era.â&#x20AC;? The festival itself, said Shafaee, really stands out because there is no other musical event like it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has its own brand,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding they hope to take it across the country even more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We definitely saw the need for it.â&#x20AC;? Shafaee hopes to see this genre of music become more popular in Canada, and especially to the younger crowd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happy music,â&#x20AC;? he said when asked what attracts its fans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The songs arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t somePresented by

thing too specific, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really no melody to it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high energy, which is what the youth are mainly attracted to.â&#x20AC;? This year will see the festival have two stages, one specifically for main headliners, and the other for tech house and bass music, as well as a mix of local and international DJs, The caliber of artists this year will also only continue to blossom into the future. Headliners this year include Above and Beyond, Steve Lawler, Steve Angello, Rusko, and Tiesto, with a whole host of other local talent involved, such as OrlĂŠansÂ&#x2019; Ryan Labelle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the biggest thing is just seeing the people leaving satisfied, and knowing we can give them the type of music they love,â&#x20AC;? said Shafaee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seeing the photos after, you see how much enjoyment they got out of it. Last year, many said they had the time of their life.â&#x20AC;? The festival begins on Saturday, June 29 and runs until July 1. For more information, please visit escapademf.com.

Winning design chosen for War of 1812 monument steph.willems@metroland.com

EMC news - A new monument commemorating the War of 1812 will soon begin taking shape, destined for a permanent spot on Parliament Hill. The National Capital Commission announced last week that it had chosen a winning design for the monument, which will overlook the National War Memorial and Wellington Street from the high ground at the southeast corner of Parliament Hill. Toronto-based artist Adrienne Alison’s contribution, titled Triumph Through Diversity, was selected following a design competition and lengthy judging process that involved a public open house.

During the March 20 event, residents weighed in on two finalists. “The War of 1812 was an incredibly important turning point in Canada’s history,” said Alison via media release. “As a sculptor, it’s a great honour to be selected to create this monument for Parliament Hill so that all Canadians can connect with this pivotal time in our history.” Created to mark the 200th anniversary of the beginning of the war that saw colonial and first nations forces repel an American invasion of Upper and Lower Canada, the monument will be unveiled in the fall of 1814. The war brought with it a new sense of national unity within the fledgling British colony, leading to expan-

sion and growth and paving the way for Confederation a half century later. Triumph Through Diversity consists of seven bronze figures perched close together atop a granite pedestal, flanked by two small stone boats. The monument represents the “coming together” of the diverse array of combatants in the conflict, who each set aside their differences and took up arms to repel the invasion. Alison’s work illustrates the two theatres of that war, which occurred on both land and water. Etchings into the stone will tell the story of the War of 1812 to Parliament Hill visitors. At March’s open house, Alison said she wanted to create a monument that was educational, but also easy to understand.

Father overworked, overtired this time of year

ould he topple over and fall out of the rocker? Would he hit the floor with a thud, maybe banging his head on the oven door? I was sitting at the kitchen table. I was alone. My sister Audrey said she had better things to do than waste time looking through the Eaton’s catalogue. The three brothers were doing what they did every night in the summer: they

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories were outside throwing balls, using their sling shots or shooting off their B.B. guns. Mother was in the garden. It was just me and Father in the kitchen.

The sun was still streaking through the west window and the kitchen had been redded up. Bedtime was just a couple hours away. I sat very quietly watching

Father. He looked smaller, I thought. Maybe it was the way he was sleeping in the rocker. He didn’t hear his pipe fall to the floor and the Ottawa Farm Journal lay across his knees unopened. His chin was on his chest and I could see him breathing, his plaid shirt rising and falling gently. It had been a long day for Father. Chores were done before sun-up. The plow and other pieces of farm machinery had been moved on the stone boat to the back fields across the Bonnechere and over the West Hill weeks before. By the time Father was finished with the morning chores, got the milking done and eaten his breakfast, he would be ready to take the team across the shallowest part of the Bonnechere and head over to the back fields. He would have picked up the basket of lunch Mother had made the night before, and we wouldn’t see him again until it was time to come back home for the evening chores. And so I sat and watched Father and wondered if he would have enough strength left to even get out of his clothes and fall into bed. Dust of the fields still clung to his face. He had taken off his work boots and his heavy wool socks were covered in soil and bits and pieces of grass. I knew if he rolled down the legs of his overalls, there would be more of the same trapped in the folds. I could see the edge of his combination underwear showing under his plaid shirt, and I wondered if I dared go and straighten up his head, so that he would be more comfortable. But of course that would wake him from his much

needed sleep. I wondered why he didn’t go to bed right after his supper, as I sat and watched his worn out body curled uncomfortably in the old rocker. But then he wouldn’t be able to check on the barns, which he never failed to do before falling into bed. No, this was Father’s routine and nothing was going to change it this time of year. There were fields to plow and cultivate, and grain to plant. There was scant time to do it in, as Father tried to outsmart the weather. So from dawn to dusk, Father like every other farmer around us, was tied to the habits of the season. Father wasn’t a big man. The three brothers were all taller by several inches. My brother Emerson towered over him. But Father was wiry and as straight as a die. But as I sat and watched him, I was scarcely breathing and making not a sound, so that I wouldn’t disturb his rest, I thought he looked so much older than he did before summer planting began. He was always so much more tired after supper this time of year. The heat of the day was heavy on him and even though it was summer, he still wore his plaid shirts with the long sleeves. But he did give up his felt hat with the ear lugs changing to his old battered straw hat, with the wide black headband, marred with the sweat off his brow. So I sat quietly, watching Father breathe, not a muscle stirring in either of us. And I was overcome with a deep sadness, as I looked at him in the rocking chair, his feet in their usual place on the

turned-down oven door. I wondered, can someone die from overwork? What if one day he didn’t come home from the back fields? What would happen to us? The sun had gone down behind the grape arbour and the kitchen was darkening, but yet there was daylight and I was still alone at the old pine table, Eaton’s catalogue unopened in front of me, and with my eyes never leaving Father. He would stay there until everyone came in from outside, banging doors and scraping their feet on the mat, tossing their bats and balls into the box beside the stove. Mother would stop a moment in front of Father and then she would do what she did every night this time of year: she would tap Father on the shoulder. She may have to do it several times to bring him out of his deep sleep. He would slowly raise his head and look around the kitchen as if he were lost. I would move myself away from the table and go over to the rocker and pick his pipe up off the floor and put the Ottawa Farm Journal on the bake table. Father would shuffle over to the bedroom door off the kitchen and he would turn to Everett and tell him to be sure to check the barns before he went to bed. Soon I would hear the creaking of the bed springs and if I listened closely from my spot at the kitchen table, I would hear a deep sigh, followed by soft snores as Father settled down his tired body for the night. It was just another day, no different than the one before, and no different than the one coming after.

Trout with fresh jerk sauce tantalizes the tastebuds EMC lifestyle - The delicate texture of farm raised-trout is enhanced by a light coating of cumin-scented cornmeal. As a contrast to its mild sweet taste, we’ve created a bold sauce from fresh Ontario vegetables. Preparation time: 15 minutes. Cooking time: 20 minutes. Serves four with 375 ml (1-1/2 cups) of sauce. INGREDIENTS

EMMA JACKSON/METROLAND

Soup’s on! Usha Kappagantula stirs a pot of soup in preparation for the Manjari Sankurathri Memorial Foundation’s annual fundraising picnic in Andrew Haydon Park on June 22. The picnic, now in its 11th year, supports eye care and education in India. To date the foundation has educated 1,930 children and funded 178,805 eye surgeries. Organizers expected to raise about $5,000 at this year’s event.

Fresh Jerk Sauce • 4 green onions, sliced • 3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped • Half a jalapeno pepper, seeded and coarsely chopped • 1 sweet red pepper, cut into chunks • 3 large tomatoes, coarsely chopped • 15 ml (1 tbsp) packed brown sugar • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) each dried thyme leaves, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and garlic salt

• 1 ml (1/4 tsp) cayenne pepper • Canola oil •125 ml (1/2 cup) chopped fresh coriander (optional) Trout • 2 rainbow trout ﬁllets (375 g/12 oz each), skin removed • 175 ml (3/4 cup) cornmeal • 15 ml (1 tbsp) ground cumin • 1 ml (1/4 tsp) salt • 1 egg • 75 ml (1/3 cup) milk • 20 ml (4 tsp) butter PREPARATION

Fresh jerk sauce: Place the onions, garlic and jalapeno in a food processor. Whirl until the contents are coarsely ground. Add the sweet pepper and tomatoes with seeds and juice. Add sugar, thyme, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, garlic salt and cayenne pepper. Pulse until the mixture is chunky and pepper is chopped, about 10 times. Don’t puree.

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the sauce and boil gently, uncovered and stirring often, until thickened – about 20 minutes. Stir in the coriander, if you are using it. Trout: Cut fish into serving-size pieces. In a shallow dish, combine the cornmeal, cumin and salt. In another dish, whisk egg with milk. One at a time, coat both sides of fish in egg mixture and then in cornmeal mixture. In large skillet, melt 15 ml (1 tbsp) of the butter, over medium heat. Add the coated fish and cook until golden, for about three to five minutes. Add remaining butter to side of pan. Turn fish, letting melted butter flow over pan before placing fish down and cook for about three to five minutes. Remove to plates. Spoon the jerk sauce on top and beside the fish. Foodland Ontario

Wider, but not extra lanes would be added Continued from page 1

Tied up in a board meeting, members from the Mechanicsville Community Association had the Hintonburg Community Association read a list of their concerns. Hintonburg board member Cheryl Parrott told officials they began to get worried three years ago when the LRT project was resurrected as an east-west line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were told a number of things then that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t turn out to be true,â&#x20AC;? said Parrott, explaining why the community sought out this meeting and a similar one that was held this past March. In response, Rob Orchin of the rail implementation office could only offer the information he knew, such as general timelines regarding the construction work. As it stands now, Transitway buses totaling 190 per hour at peak times will start being funnelled onto surface roads starting in spring 2016, with full Transitway shutdown (phase 2) from Tunneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to Lebreton beginning that summer. Road modifications on Scott Street, designed to give buses wider lanes to travel on â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but not extra lanes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; would take place in summer, 2015. Those modifications would see the roadway edge moved three metres north. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Phase one of construction would be from Merton Street to Bayview,â&#x20AC;? said Orchin, stating the city wants to wait as long as possible before enacting these detours. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where the grades of the Transitway and Scott Street match, that would be the entry/exit point for buses â&#x20AC;Ś . Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still very early, but we want to understand the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerns for (the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) safety review â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that will inform the design, as well as the timeline.â&#x20AC;? Parrot raised several concerns given to her by the community, much of it relating to cut-through traffic and speeds on the narrow side streets of Hintonburg north of Wellington Street. The Mechanicsville associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top requests were for planners to examine the Scott-Parkdale and ScottCarruthers intersections to ensure maximum safety for residents crossing to points south. Ensuring proper winter maintenance of the Ottawa River Pathway and adding a third phase of construction â&#x20AC;&#x201C; where buses would exit the Transitway at Bayview and City Centre avenues â&#x20AC;&#x201C; were other top requests. Both associations want Scott to return to its normal width following LRT construction completion and would like the city to explore what options exist for removing as much bus traffic from Scott as possible. Deadheading buses and those bound for Gatineau are an example of the type of traffic both communities think could use another route, such as the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway. As nearby resident Karen Large stated, the lack of yards facing Scott means people will have buses running

at speed very close to their homes. Extensive modifications to mitigate the affects are not included in the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget, said Orchin, which is why existing infrastructure needed to be used as much as possible. A letter sent to the NCC by Ottawa Centre MP Paul Dewar asked for the organization to explore the temporary addition of extra bus traffic to the parkway during construction, but a firm answer has not been received back. Orchin said transit staff has been directed to explore all possible options on the matter. As for mitigation measures resulting for cut-through traffic, he said the appropriate city staffers could be consulted. As for the timing of the construction, Roger Woodhead, technical director of the Rideau Transit Group, said his team â&#x20AC;&#x153;will see what they can doâ&#x20AC;? about phasing construction differently, adding their focus has been on the early stages of construction occurring in Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s east end. Because Scott will be widened by three metres during the construction, residents wondered if perhaps at the end of the period the road could return to its normal width â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but with the extra three metres added to the residential south side of Scott. Orchin thought it an interesting idea, but said if the residents want to ensure it happens it would best be added into the Scott Street community design plan, which is currently being crafted by the community and planning consultant George Dark.

Two area MPPs, two views on budget River Ward City Councillor @CouncillorMcRae Conseillère, quartier Rivière

MacLeod calls out Liberals on deficit, Chiarelli defends spending, energy plans jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

EMC news - Bob Chiarelli, the MPP for Ottawa West-Nepean and provincial Minister of Energy, says the province is on track to get rid of the deficit by 2017-18. He also said the budget works on job creation with its entrepreneurial grants and a reduction in the Ontario Disability Support Program clawback. “Now people can retain $2,400 a year,” Chiarelli said of the support payments. Chiarelli said increasing the rate of pay for the province’s public sector workers by halfa-per-cent was designed to help the government maintain their financial targets. “The federal government worker increase is two per cent and the private sector is at one per cent,” he said. Lower wage increases to the public sector, no new taxes, and a $260 million investment in home and community healthcare aimed at keeping seniors at home are going to be important to the residents of Ottawa WestNepean, Chiarelli said, adding the government needed to work with the other political parties to reach these goals. “The Wynne government worked really hard at collabora1:30:01 PM tion, which is key with a minority government,” Chiarelli said. “Residents are not interested in another election.” Chiarelli called out the Pro-

gressive Conservatives, specifically Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod and party leader Tim Hudak for being unwilling to play ball. “The conservatives – especially Tim Hudak and Lisa MacLeod – weren’t even interested in reading the budget, they just wanted to force another election,” Chiarelli said. MacLeod said NDP support of the budget amounted to collusion, and she couldn’t in good faith support the government while they were embroiled in the gas plant scandal. “I think this says something about (NDP leader) Andrea Horwath,” she said. “You can’t call the government corrupt in the morning and then support them on a confidence vote in the afternoon.” MacLeod said Hudak met with Premier Kathleen Wynne FILE a number of times to show her Ontario Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli speaks at a budget the conservative white papers announcement in Ottawa in early May.

Sweet treats Jessie Duffy, Sarah Watson and Mike Bulthuis from the Vanier Community Association offer sweet and savoury treats for passersby as part of the Path of Flavours during the St. Jean Baptiste celebration on Saturday, June 22 in Richelieu Park.

City seeking ‘main street’ feel for Montreal Road Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - A plan to bolster Montreal Road’s mainstreet feel will get a public airing on July 8. The city is overhauling landuse plans for the entire community of Vanier with a goal of encouraging development to be kept to four to six storeys along the main drag, said lead planner Melanie Knight. That will likely mean a reduction in the density and height of buildings allowed on some spots right along Montreal Road, Knight said. Right now, there is a mix of sizes of properties that all have different zoning. Some small properties have low-density zoning, but there are several large properties that can have buildings of up to 14 storeys. To create a more consistent look, the city is recommending keeping the buildings between four and six storeys at the street front, but continue to allow developers to step back to a taller building farther back from the street. Knight said the specific

building heights haven’t been decided, but she will have that ready for the July 8 meeting. “It’s pretty much a complete revamp of what the old policies were,” Knight said. There was little feedback at a public meeting earlier this year, but Knight is hoping for more input from residents and particularly property and business owners at a meeting on July 8 in the community room at the Francophone Centre at 270 Marier Ave. The meeting will run from 6 to 9 p.m. with a presentation at 6:30 p.m. Knight said members of the merchants’ association “seemed pretty receptive” to the direction of the plans earlier this year, but she is curious to hear their thoughts now that there is a more solidified plan that could reduce the development potential of some properties in Vanier. “They did know that was going to be part of the proposal,” Knight said. The updated policies slightly expand the boundaries of Vanier and splits it into three sectors: east, central and west.

The east and west sectors, which cover the area around Montreal Road starting at Cummings Bridge to the west and St. Laurent Boulevard to the east, are similar in character, Knight said. They are both gateways into Vanier and have potential to become home to taller buildings, such as at the Eastview Plaza at Montreal Road and North River Road. The existing height limits in these areas are already around 14 storeys and they have “a lot of potential,” Knight said. “We know there are a lot of big parcels and they are underutilized,” she said, noting there are many surface parking lots in Vanier that could be redeveloped. The central district, which runs from the Vanier Parkway to Granville Street, should retain its “historic, traditional downtown feel,” Knight said. In order to do that, Knight plans to clean up the zoning to create more consistent heights. Right now, there is a lot of inconsistency, with buildings allowed from 16 to 42 metres depending on the property.

Patience is necessary this week, Aries. Without it, you will grow frustrated quickly over the course of several days. Relax and make the most of the situation. Expect to feel energetic and enthusiastic this week, Taurus. You may not know the source of all this energy and optimism, but that’s irrelevant as long as you enjoy these feelings. You may be feeling a little psychic lately, Gemini. Give your insights the benefit of the doubt and try to understand the message that is being conveyed. Some intellectual conversation has you aiming for bigger and better things, Cancer. You may start a few creative projects as a result of these discussions. Leo, don’t be surprised if some changes regarding your career come your way this week. A raise, promotion or a new job may be on the horizon. Embrace these changes. Virgo, a release of tension is just what you need. You may find that something that has been restricting you and holding you back disappears in a few days.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Libra, sheer luck that brings strange and wonderful things is in the big picture this week. The things that you have been wishing or dreaming of just may come true. Scorpio, a business or romantic partner brings good news your way. This news erases a funk that you have been in. The news may help you resume a goal you had abandoned. Sagittarius, don’t worry about an upcoming doctor’s visit. You may just get a clean bill of health from your doctor this week. This will definitely ease up some stress. You are full of creative energy, Capricorn, and must turn it into projects that may help you to earn some money in the near future. Get started while you are motivated. Expect some news that sheds light on a difficult issue that you have been trying to resolve, Aquarius. You may feel so relieved that a celebration is in order. Exciting changes are coming, and they all center around you, Pisces. It may be embarrassing being the center of attention, but try to enjoy it.
