Diner a step closer to green light for patio25

Despite one couple going so far as to hire a noise consultant, planning consultant and lawyer to fight the application, the Welling-
ton Diner won their bid to set up a temporary patio on June 27. The diner sits on the corner of Wellington Street West and Western Avenue. It’s about 19 metres from homes — the current bylaw gov-
erning patios doesn’t allow them within 30 metres of a residential area. Carolyn Kearney’s home neighbours the site. Kearney, who is blind, opposed the application with her wife, Geena Green.

The Wellington Diner application for a 20-square metre patio was approved by planning committee on June 27.
The city’s planning committee approved the 20-square metre patio that would hold 24 people. This is the third attempt by the restaurant to secure approval to erect a patio. The staff recommendation is that it be granted, but only as a temporary structure — to be taken down in November. The planning committee vote on the application was 9-1, with the only dissenting vote coming from River Coun. Riley Brockington. Brockington said he wasn’t going to approve the plan without a noise mitigation plan. The ward councillor, Jeff Leiper, has indicated there are more than a 100 residents in support of the patio. Diane Kirkpatrick, a Barrhaven native turned Wellington West resident, spoke in support of the application. Kirkpatrick said most area pati-
os are specialized and she would like to enjoy the “family-friendly” menu from the diner on a patio. Vania Karam, mother of Winston — a teen who was bullied at Broadview School — also spoke in favour of the diner. The diner’s owner, Jeff Frost, heard about Winston’s story of being consistently bullied and his mother’s decision to take the school board to court and hired him. “This is indeed wonderful news,” Karam tweeted following the approval. “Thanks to Jeff Leiper for doing a great job consulting the community.” Mayor Jim Watson also showed his support for the application — likely good news for the patio’s fate at council on July 12. “Congrats,” Watson tweeted in reply to the diner’s Twitter handle following the meeting. “Long overdue and will make your part of the city even more dynamic.”

National Capital Commission
The paths that remain closed will be fixed to a higher standard to prevent large-scale damage during other high water years.
Three pathways still closed Continued from page 4
About 20 kilometres of paths were under as much as four to five feet of water. So far, about 17 kilometres have been reopened. Three pathways will remain closed into 2018. That includes a one-kilometre section of the Ottawa River Pathway, behind Parliament Hill, between Portage Bridge and the Rideau Canal Locks, the Lac des Fees Pathway, near the soccer field in Gatineau Park. “This spring, we not only had record water levels, but record velocity and when you combine (them), it makes a heavy impact on the shores and the waterways of any region,” Lacey said. Photos of the pathways from when the water finally receded show eroded shorelines, downed limbs and sinkholes. Before water even peaked, National Capital Commission
staff and contractors went out to minimize damage. They went to the aboriginal centre on Victoria Island to help secure some of their assets and worked to armour the banks at the navy monument, at Richmond Landing beside the Ottawa River. “It has been a very trying time as soon as the water levels started to recede we immediately began the site cleanup,” Lacey said. “We continue to work to get the remaining banks stabilized and the trail open. Unfortunately, the pathway still underwater is behind the parliament buildings and we know it’s an important commute for people with bicycles and also a popular place for people to bike and walk.” Construction to fix the pathways will begin late this summer or early fall and will include upgrades of some of the electrical infrastructure as well. Tender documents will
be completed in early July. Corriveau said it’s the commission’s intention to rebuild everything to a higher standard. Because of climate change, he said, it was important to reinvest in those higher standards. For example, a portion of the trail behind Parliament Hill that was reinvigorated remained in tact post flooding. Older sections didn’t fare as well. Some of the reopened pathways received temporary repairs to get them open and the commission has received some of the geotechnical studies required to move forward with the more permanent repairs. “The damage to our sites … will be a challenge for us going forward, but it’s nothing compared to the people affected with their homes,” said Mark Kristmanson, chief executive officer of the National Capital Commission, during the meeting.

Community hubs land federal infrastructure money BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com
Two community hubs are receiving funds from the federal government to reinvigorate their spaces. The Boys and Girls Club’s Police Youth Centre and the Soloway Jewish Community Centre each re-
ceived a Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program grant. The money, $410,000 for the Boys and Girls Club on Prince of Wales Drive, will be used to reconfigure the interior of the old fire hall and to add more washrooms for women and girls. Because it’s an old fire station,
there’s only one stall for the 60 girls that attend the centre after school. The renovations are part of phase 1 of the renewal of the centre, which will begin this fall. The second phase, to start next year, includes creating a full-size gym and the eventual installation of a Sens Rink.

Notice of Completion Baseline Woodroffe Stormwater Management Pond Class Environmental Assessment Class Environmental Assessment Study Report Available for Review The City of Ottawa has completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) Study for the construction of a stormwater management (SWM) pond at the northeast corner of Baseline Road and Woodroffe Avenue. The pond will provide treatment and flow control for runoff from some 435 hectares that currently drain uncontrolled to Pinecrest Creek. The Baseline Woodroffe SWM pond was identified as a priority project in the Pinecrest Creek/ Westboro SWM Retrofit Study (P/W Study), completed in 2011. The P/W Study was completed as a Master Plan under the Municipal Class EA process, identifying a preferred SWM retrofit plan composed of multiple projects. Prior to implementation, individual infrastructure projects recommended in the retrofit plan are required to complete additional Class EA requirements. For the Baseline Woodroffe SWM pond, the process for a “Schedule B” undertaking has been followed in accordance with the Municipal Class EA (2000), as amended 2007 and 2011. A Class EA Study report has been prepared documenting the problem statement, existing conditions, evaluation of pond options and the selection of the preferred solution, public and agency consultation as well as potential construction impacts and mitigation measures. The Report is available for public review at the following locations for a period of 30 calendar days, starting on July 6, 2017: City Hall Client Service Centre 110 Laurier Avenue West, Ottawa ON K1P 1J1 Tel: 613-580-2400 Nepean Client Service Centre 101 Centrepointe Drive, Ottawa, ON K2G 5K7 Tel: 613-580-2940 Or by visiting the City website: ottawa.ca/baselinewoodroffepond Interested persons should provide written comments within 30 calendar days from the date of this Notice to: Darlene Conway, P.

Centres receive Canada 150 infrastructure grant Continued from page 6
Colleen Mooney, executive director of the club, said they are beyond thrilled about the contribution for the big renovation, which will help create right-sized spaces by opening up some of the rooms for the programs offered. The club will also get a bigger kitchen, which Mooney said will help when preparing healthy snacks for students or when there are cooking classes. “This will certainly help fix up the place, and it certainly needs it,” said Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa alumnus and current board of directors chair Stephen Beckta. “This is going to be a world-class clubhouse and so many kids will be able
The Boys and Girls Club – Police Youth Centre and the Soloway Jewish Community Centre each received a Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program grant, which was formally announced on June 30 by Ottawa Centre MP Catherine McKenna (centre). The Boys and Girls Club will receive $410,000 and the JCC will receive $180,000.
to come here and have a great future,” Beckta said, adding the club is a place where everyone can belong. “It’s going to change a lot of lives.” Raising money to fix the guts of a building is always a challenge, said Barry Sohn, president and chief operating officer of the Soloway Jewish Community Centre. “We’re talking about boilers, we’re talking about heating and ventilation and air conditioning. And roofs and boilers are not sexy things,” Sohn said. But the infrastructure improvements are vital for creating places of belonging. “We appreciate and applaud the efforts … they make on creating community,” he said.

Graduates have what it takes
L
ast week was high school graduation time. Mortarboards and gowns, that traditional graduation garb, set the fashion trend for the week as Grade 12 graduates at every high school strode and received a secondary school diploma from a principal, vicepresident or teacher, with beaming smiles all around. These smiles were not only on the stage, but throughout the audience, on the faces of proud teachers, parents, family members and friends of the graduates. These secondary school graduation diplomas represent more than just the successful completion of 14 years of schooling, starting with junior kindergarten and continuing through to Grade 12. Quite simply, these diplomas represent the future. You only had to be at one of these high school graduation ceremonies to appreciate not only the accomplishments of these graduates to date, but also the unprecedented opportunities which await them in the coming years. Whether they are off to university, college or the world of work, these graduates have before them endless possibilities for further personal growth and additional learning. Whether it is in nursing, law, social work, interior decorating, software development, animation, marketing, engineering, construction or any other field of endeavour, these young graduates have been armed with all of the tools necessary to succeed in their chosen pathway.
But more than this, this generation of graduates has developed a sense of social justice and community volunteering that will ensure a future that is not only more compassionate, but more participatory. That’s because the high school education of today goes beyond just the “three R’s” and the curriculum. In high school, youth get to know about taking responsibility for this world of ours, for preserving it and for making it a better place to live, work and play. They get to know how to do this in part thanks to the clubs and extracurricular activities in which they participate in their high school years. But they also know how to do this because, besides their learning, they have developed what it takes to succeed in today’s world — skills like collaboration, digital fluency, critical thinking, resiliency, perseverance and empathy. They are globally aware. They respect and accept others for who they are. This all gives so much hope, not only for where society is headed in the future, but also for seeing how our goals and aspirations as a country of communities are going to be realized. It will all happen because of these young people who this past week strode across a stage to receive a secondary school diploma. They have what it takes to take us to the next level as a country and as a society. We can’t wait for it to happen.
There’s something to be said for team sports
S
o, the kids are out of school — at loose ends — complaining about being bored, while you try to figure out how to keep them away from screens. It’s an age-old dilemma, although there are a lot more screens than there used to be. Myself, I’d get them into team sports. Yes, they went out of fashion some time ago, when lots of people decided that competition was an ugly thing — and indeed it can be, when carried to extremes. That goes for life, not to mention politics, as well as baseball. One of our great national heroes, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, was not a team sports guy. Dubbed a “single-combat warrior” by the great Canadian journalist Richard Gwyn, Trudeau preferred judo and canoeing to baseball, although he was knowl-

innings contests, the 50-50 draw. A new one on me is the Poutine Batter promotion, in which one opposition player is designated the Poutine Batter, and every time he comes to bat, the crowd has a chance at free poutine if he strikes out. Although this has the virtue of being a uniquely Canadian event, it seems a bit petty of us to be wishing ill on a player just because we’re hungry. One day I was there, the Poutine Batter was a member of the Cuban National Team called Juan Torriente. He disappointed the fans five times, although he got to two strikes twice, causing brief excitement. By contrast, on the smallest scale of baseball — the Little League diamonds — I didn’t hear anybody cheering for opposing players to strike out. I also didn’t hear any parents or coaches yelling at the 10-year-

Social isolation of seniors
A
few years ago, a friend of ours was contemplating a move out of the home she’d lived in for more than 35 years. It was a lot to care for the place. Her children, in their 60s and on the verge of retirement themselves, urged her to look into a seniors’ home. “I can’t move into a seniors’ home,” she said. “I’m too young to hang out with that crowd.” She was 88 at the time. Despite having suffered some hearing and vision loss due to age, she was in good overall health. Every day she would walk for fitness. Having lost her driver’s licence due to her eyesight degeneration, she walked to appointments, the grocery store and to visit friends, most of whom were in care homes. She had regular appointments at the National Arts Centre and various galas as well, among the reasons she eventually moved into a condo closer to downtown. She often commented on how well she slept, which struck me as odd. It’s a proven fact that, as people age, their sleep deteriorates, and yet here was an octogenarian frequently saying that she felt fresh after a good night’s sleep. New research out of the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania may help explain the connection between my friend’s good sleep and her active social life. Researchers there studied the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster and found that social isola-

Uptown Sox launches new socks for Canada’s 150th
BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com
For three local residents, joining together to create a line of funky men’s socks was a step in the right direction. And it all started when Thomas Woods was getting married. He was looking for some socks to match the fuchsia of the bridesmaid dresses. “I wanted some funky socks,” Woods said. But he was having trouble finding a perfect match. Searching them out started a bit of an obsession because after the wedding, he collected about 70 pairs. For his birthday or holidays, he’d look forward to receiving new designs from his wife and family. But like any missing sock, they weren’t easy to find. Less than three years later, Woods put his best foot forward and with the help of his wife Jessica Wright and friend Bassam Saeed launched Uptown Sox. Together, the trio hit its stride. Wright works on the designs and website, Woods is hitting the streets to get the product into stores and Saeed’s watching over the accounting. See NEW, page 13

New designs coming this fall Continued from page 12
“Now everyone is getting socks from me,” Woods said, adding he’s converted more than a few friends from wearing plain black socks to some vibrant patterns. Woods, who grew up in Bayshore and now lives in Westboro, has been talking about starting his own business since he was a teenager. Uptown Sox now has 22 designs available online after adding about a half dozen this spring and will launch another dozen or so in September.
Since the launch, Uptown Sox has made its way into more than 14 stores, including Fancy Sox in the Rideau Centre and District Apparel on Wellington West. Woods is also reaching out to help others by donating pairs to the mission and local sock drives. And with a prime minister who’s known to wear a fun pair of socks matching the occasion, Woods is hoping Uptown Sox might make its way to Parliament Hill. A special pair for Canada’s 150th has been especially popular as the city celebrates
the milestone. Featuring the Peace Tower, some furry creatures and some hockey-playing silhouettes, the socks have been an instant hit, Woods said. There’s even a sock subscription service – Uptown Sox will send a pair a month for a year. They’re also in stores in Waterloo and Winnipeg. They’ve sold thousands of pairs so far. “We’re hoping to grow the business from the socks up,” Woods said, adding eventually he’s hoping to get into other men’s accessories and clothing.

You spent your entire life on what matters most. Every moment etched in your heart like a collage. You got up in the middle of the night for 2 am bottles and diaper changes; you put the Band-Aids on every scuffed knee, you washed every grass stained, muddied piece of clothing after every game. You helped at the dinner table with every math problem, even the ones you did get yourself. You hugged them at their first heartbreak. You were filled with pride at graduation.
You hurt as they moved away from home and then beamed as you walked them down the aisle. You were moved when you held your first grandchild for the first time. You are proud of the people they have become, still there for every moment, every single memory. You did everything right. Let them celebrate these memories because you planned ahead.

Entertainment came by way of goat during visit to neighbours
E
velyn wasn’t the most popular girl at the Northcote School. She wasn’t unpopular, either. She was just there, minding her own business, doing exactly what Miss Crosby asked of her, and always had her homework done, and her desk drawer in perfect order. Evelyn wasn’t much of a talker, either. So, although we knew her family as neighbours, I knew little about what Evelyn did at home. Did she play with dolls? Did she have a pet cat, or a pet chicken like I did? I knew she worked hard at the farm, an only child with no brothers to help with chores. But, what Evelyn did at home for fun, I didn’t know — until the day I was invited to her farm on a warm Saturday to play. I was thrilled beyond words. Finally, I would find out what my schoolmate did when she wasn’t at school. Like our farm, there was a long lane off the Northcote Side Road, and Father took me
MARY COOK Memories over in the buggy and dropped me off at the gate leading into the barnyard. Mother sent some sticky buns, as was the custom then. When one visited for the first time, a jar of jam or some other little treat went with you. Evelyn was waiting for me at the gate, and she led me right to the kitchen to say hello to her mother and hand over the sticky buns. When we went outside, I was impressed to see that Evelyn had a playhouse, filled with a make-believe stove and real little table and chairs. This little playhouse was right out-
side the summer kitchen, and Evelyn said she often had her lunch out there, which to me was right up there with a trip to the movies on a Saturday night. Imagine, eating your lunch in your very own little playhouse. Then, Evelyn looked up at the summer kitchen roof, and in a voice that sounded as mad as a hatter’s, yelled at the top of her lungs, “Buster, you get off that roof this minute.” There, on the very top of the summer kitchen, was a goat — almost the size of a pony. It just glared down at Evelyn, stomped its front foot, and looked like it
hind legs and defied her to come any closer. It was obvious this wasn’t the first time Buster and Evelyn met horns. Finally, Buster ran toward a back field, and Evelyn very carefully put the branch right back where it was when the fight began, ready for the next challenge with the goat. I asked Evelyn how Buster
Buster would be taking the trip into Renfrew in the truck. During my short visit, I heard that Evelyn’s pet cat never left the barn since one day Buster kicked it about 10 feet into the air. I asked her if she considered Buster a pet. We were eating cookies in her playhouse. “I did when he was little. But, not anymore. And if he gives
When one visited for the first time, a jar of jam or some other little treat went with you got onto the roof. She said she had no idea, and neither did anyone else. No one knew how he managed the leap, and she lost count of the times the goat did it. She thought he took a running leap when no one was around, and her father said the goat was too smart for its own good, and if one more shingle was ever seen on the ground,

defied anyone brave enough to challenge it. How it got on the roof was beyond me. “You heard me, Buster. Get off the roof.” She grabbed a branch on the ground, which looked to me like it was always at hand to deal with the goat, which seemed to have a mind of its own. She swung the branch over her head in the air. “He’s already torn the shingles off one side of the house, and my father said if I couldn’t control him, he was going to sell him to the butcher in Renfrew.” Well, Buster either knew of the threat over his head or he didn’t trust Evelyn with the branch. He made one leap and landed on all fours in front of us. Then, he turned his back on Evelyn, made a snort and kicked her with his back feet, sending her sprawling — and then the chase was on. The two of them tore around the barnyard like two maniacs in a race for survival. Every time Evelyn got near Buster, he raised his

South Ottawa has achieved a hole in one. The Canadian Pacific Women’s Open golf championship is expected to attract more than 70,000 spectators to watch and cheer on 156 of the world’s top golfers at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club Aug. 21 to 27. The club, located in the Hunt Club community at 1 Hunt Club Rd., hosted the event twice before; in 2008 and 1994. That the major tournament is returning to the nation’s capital the same year as Canada 150 celebrations is a significant milestone. “It certainly ties in with that theme,” said River Coun. Riley Brockington, whose ward includes the private golf club, which celebrated its centennial in 2008, but actually predates 1873 when it had an equestrian focus. “It certainly raises the profile of golf in Canada and women’s golf especially,” he said. “There are certainly some talented women golfers.” Among them will be Smiths Falls’ Brooke Henderson. The 19-year-old professional golfer has earned major tournament wins already this year. Henderson, who is a member of the Hunt and Golf Club, and Canada’s Lorie Kane were at the 27-hole course on June 21 for an event detailing what will be in store during the championship, Aug. 21 to 27, and its charity of choice. “I think the calibre of golf is at the highest it’s ever been and I think having people like Brooke Henderson do-
ing so well raises not only the profile, but people’s interest and desire to attend these events,” said Brockington. Henderson and Kane, who is a four-time LPGA Tour champion, are ambassadors of the Canadian Women’s Open, which is sponsored this year by Canadian Pacific. The railway company is supporting the tournament host community by donating to the CHEO Foundation to help fund upgrades to the hospital’s pediatric cardiac catheterization laboratory, through its CP has Heart campaign. Joining the two pro golfers at the media day event was CHEO cardiac patient Zander Zatylny, 7, of Kanata, who was chosen by CHEO staff to serve as the CP Women’s Open child ambassador. “It’s a win-win for the community,” Brockington said of the tournament and the local charity. He was also in attendance, along with officials with Golf Quebec, the CHEO Foundation, CHEO, CP Women’s Open, Canadian Pacific and Golf Canada. Brockington’s neighbour, Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans, was also present and played a round of golf there that morning. “Having this event in Ottawa is amazing,” she said. “It’s great for the south end of Ottawa, and the Hunt Club is obviously a beautiful course.” Boris Uvakov, the club’s chief operating officer, said the facility has previously hosted two women’s national championships and one men’s Open. “The big difference this year from previous Opens is the course itself,” he said.
Originally designed by Willy Park Jr., who was hired in 1920, the course underwent a recent “significant redesign” by Michael Hurdzan. “After two years of construction I can proudly say that this course would be among the tops in Canada,” Uvakov said before thanking the club’s members, who will be postponing their own rounds to make way for the tournament. In addition to the tens of thousands of spectators who will watch from the sidelines, the Open, which is relying on 1,200 volunteers, will be seen by millions of viewers around the world. “You’re going to have the best golfers in the world here and we’re going to have a 19-year-old Ottawa Valley native, who’s a Hunt Club member, who will be one of the favourites,” Uvakov said. “So when people ask, ‘Is the Ottawa region excited about this event?’ You bet we’re excited. We’re expecting to set attendance records and we know that the crowds will be loud and proud.” PARKING AND TICKETS
Spectators will be directed to park off site at the former CFB Uplands military base, located nearby, and they will be shuttled to the golf club to watch the professionals compete for major cash prizes, totalling US$2.25 million. Youth aged 17 and under can watch the week’s worth of golf for free. The Friday of the tournament, everyone is encouraged to wear red and white. For ticket information, visit cpwomensopen.com.

The Lotus Centre for Special Music Education has grown exponentially in five years — so much so that it is moving to a bigger location to make room for more students. “We’re taking a big step forward now in a lot of ways. We’re starting all kinds of new programs,” said Erin Parkes, founder and executive director of Lotus Centre.

Centre offers music BUILD YOUR DREAM camps, workshops TEAM Continued from page 22
“Once they get started, they’re excited to learn so they want to learn more.” Seventeen students signed up in the first few months and Parkes was the only music teacher. By the end of 2012, the centre had 30 students and two music teachers. Now, the school sees about 200 students a year from across Ottawa and has nine teachers and three administrators on staff. “The support of our families is amazing,” Parkes said. “We have a lot of parents that come to us because they see that music is something their child loves and seeks out.” Playing music is a calming sensory experience, she said. Students can choose from piano, voice, guitar, ukulele, bass, drums and brass lessons. The centre also offers general music classes for students with high needs.
“We just try to nurture that and at the same time push them as far as they can go in their learning,” she said. “It’s just about building on that love of music … I want it to be a good experience.” The Lotus Centre, which partners with the National Arts Centre and the Ottawa public school board, is moving into the Beaverbrook Community Centre. The nonprofit music centre was also recently granted charitable status and has expanded its summer, March break and PD day camps. With the additional space at the new location, Lotus Centre is also adding respite care on weekends and after school care. “We really, really have tried to meet whatever needs we are hearing from our families,” said Parkes. “A lot is happening and we just want to celebrate that.” For more information, visit lotuscentre.net.

Here are a few tips to keep your companion animals safe this summer. • Never leave your dog in a hot car. • If your pet spends lots of time outdoors, make sure there is adequate shelter for protection from the sun/heat. Outside kennels need to be well ventilated and situated in shaded areas. Clean, fresh water must be accessible at all times. • On hotter days, monitor your pets activity and be careful to not over exert them. Watch for signs of heat stress, excessive panting, disorientation, staring or anxious expression and weakness. Bring your pet to a cool area, gradually lower your pets temperature by immersing his/her paws in cold water or hosing him/her down and call your veterinarian immediately. • When the heat and humidity rise, be especially careful with short-nosed dogs (pugs, bull-dogs, etc.) and older animals. Exercise your pets in the early morning and/or late evening to avoid the midday heat. • In summer, asphalt can burn your pet’s paws – keep to the sidewalk or grass. • Shaving a hairy pet for the summer may seem like a good idea, but they can actually get a sunburn. Shave your pet at the beginning of the summer before it gets too hot. • In summer, mosquitoes are out in full force. Heartworm prevention medication is recommended and available. See your veterinarian for details. • Flea and tick prevention is important. See your veterinarian for more information. • When you take your dog out for exercise, bring a portable water container for the both of you. • Water should be refreshed/changed often, and the bowl should be kept in a cool shaded area.

Carleton Heights gets safety advice BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com
Lock your patio and car doors and remove your garage door opener from your car if you’re leaving it outside overnight. Those were some key pieces of advice community police Const. Sherry Jordan offered to residents of Carleton Heights at a community safety meeting on June 27. During the meeting, residents raised concerns about thefts in the neighbourhood, including a recent incident in which a set of golf clubs was snatched from an open garage. Since the beginning of the year there have been eight break-and-enters in the community, which, Jordan said, is about average for the area. Across the city, prowlers will go through neighbourhoods checking car doors to see if they’re locked, and the same goes for patio doors. The garage door openers can be used to gain entry to not only the garages, but unlocked houses. “They get quite savvy at
what they do,” Jordan said, adding when the suspects — often dressed in black — see lights, they duck back into the dark. “So they are difficult to catch.” Then they can be back checking doors and windows just minutes later. A recent spree found some kids were breaking into houses and cars in Barrhaven. It turned out that the perpetrators were talking about their gains at various shelters in the area, prompting others to target the same neighbourhood. The incidents were drug motivated, she said. “We need to try our best to get the word out that they are not going to get the best bang for their buck by coming here,” Jordan said, adding valuables should be left out of sight. Nancy Worsfold, executive director of Crime Prevention Ottawa, told the dozen residents in attendance that most thefts are crimes of opportunity. While movies show criminals planning for days to break
into a home or business, most suspects only consider the theft for about 120 seconds before moving in. “They’re looking for the easiest target,” she said. No matter what’s stolen, Jordan encouraged everyone to report the information. She said that allows police to investigate trends and see where they need to deploy resources. “Everything now with the police service is very statsdriven. With traffic concerns, if there’s thefts from vehicles a lot of people are very hesitant to report to police, and our big message is you need to report if you are going to get services to your area,” Jordan said. River Coun. Riley Brockington added that with spring, there’s renewed concern. “People have come out of hibernation, this is a beautiful neighbourhood. Let’s not be the victims and if you see stuff report it,” he said. But if there is a safety concern that’s most bothersome to residents of Carleton Heights, it’s speeding cars cutting through the neighbourhood.
That’s consistent with what Brockington has heard from residents when he’s knocked on doors in the community. “We have to encourage the community to report hot spots,” he said, adding if streets need enforcement, the concerns need to be called in. But with fewer officers deployed in traffic enforcement because of competing priorities, Brockington pointed to his office budget of $40,000 for traffic calming measures. Those strategies include electronic speed signs, flex posts and more. He also spoke about the city’s push to have a photo radar program to enforce speed limits in school zones. He estimated the system could be in use in the city in about a year and a half. A new initiative is also going to address some concerns about late night-loitering on the local basketball courts. It was an issue that came up a couple of times about cars parking on the courts that are almost like an extension of Normandy Crescent. Brockington said he has or-
