Process for new stop signs, speed limits could be changed at city hall The city’s transportation committee chair has paved the way for more community input into traffic calming solutions during a committee on July 5. Coun. Keith Egli said there’s been a number of requests for things like stop signs and speed reductions. City staff currently use a “warrant” system that’s metrics based. For an intersection to get a four-way stop, it requires a certain number of cars travelling the road, for example. Other warrant criteria can include: pedestrian volumes, pedestrian crossing wait times, collision data and visibility restrictions. And while Egli said he doesn’t want to get rid of the warrant system, he said it doesn’t paint the whole picture. The transportation committee has dealt with requests from two Orléans councillors. Blais won his bid for an all-way stop at Solstice Way and Summer Days Walk, even though staff concluded the intersection doesn’t meet the criteria. Innes Coun. Jody Mitic attempted to sway his colleagues to vote in favour of installing all-way stop signs at Longleaf Drive, Montclair Avenue and Shakewood Street, but councillors deferred the decision until staff could collect data and study the intersection. Often if the will is there to make a change to traffic patterns, councillors will try to make a case, despite the staff recommendation to maintain the status quo. Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans agreed with Egli that the process needs a shake up. “Every community, every street has
the same issue,” she said. Deans added she’d like to see a public education component to Egli’s motion. The motion would ask council to commit to enhanced funding for road safety through the Strategic Initiative to Safer Roads Ottawa program. Staff will come back to committee with an action plan in 2019. Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri said he’d like to see public education on roundabouts and new, signalized pedestrian crossing. “Right now the only out thing there
‘Every community, every street has the same issue.’ GLOUCESTER-SOUTHGATE COUN. DIANE DEANS
in terms of information to the public is zoom zoom,” Qadri said. Egli said some of the challenges are older roads that were built solely for cars. He said new road designs leave room for pedestrians and cyclists and have some natural traffic calming measures. Traffic control isn’t all about stop signs and road designs, Egli said, adding residents have to call police and report infractions. “Enforcement is metrics based,” he said. “Residents need to make complaints.”
Tower could become ‘new norm’ in neighbourhood : petition Continued from page 1
The local community associations have been involved in determining the secondary plan for the neighbourhood, knowing it will include two light rail stations that will bring intensification and redevelopment. At the same time, developers for Kristy’s have been engaged in the discussions in order to move forward with their own plans. The discussions have been happening for about a year and a half. Members of the working group had been talking about a maximum height of 16 storeys for the site, but would reluctantly accept an extra three specific to that development. Then both plans changed. New heights were revealed in May for the Cleary/New Orchard Planning Study, suggesting a maximum height of 24 storeys and a new plan for Kristy’s matched it. “We feel like this was a waste of our time to work on the community design plan,” O’Brien said. As a result, an online petition against the development in
Submitted
A petition is circulating opposing the plan for a 24-storey building for the Kristy’s Family Restaurant site at 809 Richmond Rd. Local residents say the building is too tall. its current form has popped up on change.org. More than 200 people have signed. “The Kristy’s restaurant development application has been further revised and includes changes that will have a negative impact on our community, dramatically changing the streetscape of Richmond Road from a comfortable, sleepy and safe pedestrian friendly community to a busy Main Street, commercially-oriented wall of glass all the way up to Lincoln Fields,” the petition reads. “Our community is con-
cerned that this new height and design developments will become the new norm …” In an emailed response from John Smit, director of economic development for the city, the plan for the site is considered to align more closely with the directions of the Cleary/New Orchard Planning Study. The city points to several elements of the proposal that better align with the overall plan, including maintaining a transition from the homes in Woodroffe North, having the massing on the western side stepped
back, moving the tower further from neighbouring properties, and creating the opportunity for a wide pedestrian connection to the Unitarian campus. Both Bay Coun. Mark Taylor and neighbouring Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper agree that the nine- and 19-storey proposal was more acceptable to the community. In a recent newsletter, Leiper said he’s received several notes about the Kristy’s proposal and he feels the developer and city should reconsider the denser, but lower proposal. “(Even with) the nine- and 19-storey towers, you are getting a little higher there and it makes me a bit uncomfortable,” Leiper said in an interview. The draft secondary plan heights for the area are like bookends. The areas around the LRT stations will be higher, before it transitions down to a mid-rise traditional main street along Richmond Road. “We are off to an alarming start if that bookend starts at 24 storeys,” said Leiper. Taylor said it’s a bit ironic because it was in working with the
city’s planning department to make it more acceptable for the public that the plans got pushed higher. Because of the setbacks necessary between towers, the city’s planning department asked Kristy’s developers to include 50 per cent of the required setback, which pushed the tower higher. Taylor said he’s not opposed to either proposal, the 24-storey or the nine- and 19-storey towers. “But I’m more in support of the 19 than the 24,” he said. “It all comes down to built
form. Am I comfortable with a 24-storey building? I can be, but I can just as easily be comfortable with a 19-storey building. Ultimately, if residents of the surrounding area are more comfortable with the 19-storey building, I work for them.” Taylor said the heights along Richmond Road could still change, as the secondary plan is still in progress and nothing has been finalized for the corridor. “The report is not final. It can still change it can still go up or down. It’s not a done deal,” he said.

Ontario is providing additional support to detect potential hearing loss in newborns sooner and ensure that families with children who have permanent hearing loss, or are at risk, get the supports they need. Michael Coteau, Minister of Children and Youth Services, announced the expansion of the province’s Infant Hearing Program on July 4 at the
Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario and Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre in Ottawa. The provincewide program screens babies for hearing loss soon after birth, and provides families with supports and services that children need to develop language and literacy skills during the most critical period of development. The province’s support will reduce wait times for families
and increase the program’s service capacity. With the early identification of permanent hearing loss, families can make informed decisions about what services and supports their children need, such as hearing aids or communication and language development services. These services also help children get ready to start school.

Better travel days lie ahead
G
etting around during major events is always a challenge in Ottawa, but one we should expect. So it’s shouldn’t be too much of a surprise that Canada Day taxed our public services. OC Transpo was swamped, in part because it’s impossible to predict passenger demand that ebbs and flows with the weather. Then there was the challenge of having members of the Royal Family moved to and from Parliament Hill – more streets closed and buses stuck. One thing that could have been improved was the speed of security lines to access Parliament Hill. Too few entrances, too few staff, too few signs for the lineups, and too little food for those who persevered and made it onto the soggy grass. This city deals with VIPs and major celebrations throughout the year. It’s now summer and we’ll have more streets shut down in the coming weeks than we’ll see any other time of year. Plan accordingly – use transit, ride a bike or
walk. Even for folks in the suburbs, it’s possible to drive within cycling or walking distance of our big festivals, and then make an easy arrival. If you’re not planning to attend a festival or other event, check the traffic before you head out on your usual jaunts, just to make sure there’s no parade scheduled to block you in our out. There’s no use merely grumbling about traffic. New smartphone apps like Waze make it possible to check for traffic tie-ups before leaving home, and while on the road. And every time someone – maybe you – avoids congestion, the better off every other driver. You can be part of the solution and not part of the problem. Transit in Ottawa is about to take a great leap forward, with light rail about a year away. When the tunnels open and trains begin service, hundreds of city buses will disappear from downtown, and the payoff for motorists will finally be realized. Yes there are better days ahead in 2018. But for now, let’s enjoy the summer of 2017.
Bigger is not always better for a community

hat’s your picture of Canada Day 150? Is it happy folks on Parliament Hill with lots of flags and smiles? I hope. But I wonder if it will be another picture that sticks in your mind. That’s the one that shows the Mackenzie Bridge at rush hour with so many stuck buses on it that it’s impossible to count. That was four days before. The photo was accompanied by warnings that things might get worse. They did. Streets would be closed, barriers erected, normal patterns disrupted. That happens with big events. Canada Day would be the biggest ever and more preparations were needed to get ready for more people. Plus — a big plus — security. You wouldn’t expect things to be smooth under such circumstances and
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town they weren’t. People were angry already and the big event was days away. Meanwhile there were warnings about how bad the situation was expected to be. There would be security screening. Would there ever! Yet, as with all big events, many people had a fine time on the day, the people who got inside, the people who made it through the lineups. The show was great, the mood was good despite the rain. But too many people, way too many, were stuck on the outside. The lineups were too long, too disorganized. There was not enough food,
too few bathrooms. A lot of people were disappointed. It’s not as if the authorities weren’t trying, both on the federal and the municipal side. It was just too big. Add in the rain, add in the extra security for the visiting royals, and it simply couldn’t work. And it probably won’t the next time either. In the aftermath, people will be asking whether it was all worth it. Partly the expense: many useful — and lasting — things could have been done with the money spend on the celebration. But also the sheer inconvenience of it. Should the people who live yearround in town have to put up with a major disruption in their lives for the sake of an event designed to attract tourists? And it wasn’t exactly a walk in the park for the tourists either. Could we, perhaps, go a bit smaller? There are those who say no, that the

city will never be respected as a G8 capital unless it is prepared to do things on a grand scale. And, to be fair, people with that attitude have brought improvements to our city life. Ottawa wouldn’t be in the National Hockey League if people hadn’t thought big. Big-thinking people in days gone by brought us some terrific museums, the National Arts Centre, a fine city hall and some ambitious festivals. Well, the city could handle such things without much strain. But there comes a time when the reach exceeds the grasp and the strain is too much. When that happens, the party only causes traffic jams, lineups and the celebratory mood is lost. Next year, which will be the 151st, we can safely think small.

OC Transpo plans to rename the route number, as well as terminate the route at Tunney’s Pasture Station. I am currently in discussions with OC Transpo to have them come to Carlington to discuss their proposal and actively seek feedback and listen to riders.

The fate of a nine-storey building close to Somerset Square is in the community’s hands. And residents are split. The current plan for the neighbourhood allows six storeys at 979 Wellington St. W., and in order to build nine storeys the developer needs several amendments. Plans for the building include more than 50 apartments, as well as two retail spaces and parking for about 35 cars. At a second consultation about the site, several residents flowed through Happy Goat Coffee on July 4 to see what changes the developer included in plans after hearing from the community and an independent urban design advisory panel facilitated by the city. The plan now includes: • setbacks from the street

above the fourth storey, • reducing the number of apartments by two, • smaller patios at street level, • the inclusion of more esthetic designs on the east facing wall, • pushing a sculptural element back onto the facade of the south facing wall. While some local residents are receptive to the idea of a taller building, they feel if nine storeys is allowed for the corner lot, others will use the same justification to get taller buildings as the rest of the street redevelops. It could be a domino effect. Matthew Kelly and Hayley Price-Kelly live on O’Meara Street, just behind the site, and they don’t mind the look and feel of the building, but are concerned about the height. “At six storeys they’d have my blessing,” Kelly said, adding he appreciates some of the elements the architects have proposed. In spite of that, because of the height, it’s this building they have to oppose. “Others could be waiting for the first one to be allowed and unfortunately, these guys

Three City-wide Consultations The City of Ottawa is currently engaged in three separate consultations that may be of interest to you. Ottawa Bylaw is seeking community feedback regarding formalizing rules for driveway markers used by snow plow contractors. Comments are due July 20. Ottawa Bylaw is also inviting residents to provide their feedback on amendments to the Property Standards Bylaw by July 24. For more information, please contact my office. Finally, Ottawa Health is seeking feedback on the marketing of unhealthy food and drinks to children and youth. Comments are requested by August 10. Again, for more information, please contact my office. Major Festivals in River Ward River Ward residents are invited to attend and enjoy the major festivals that call our local community home. This Saturday, July 15, the HOPE Beach Volleyball Festival will run all day at Mooney’s Bay Park. The Lebanese Festival will return for the 27th year, from July 19-23 at the St Elias Cathedral, 700 Ridgewood Avenue. The Ottawa Ukrainian Festival will return for the third year from July 21-23 at the St John the Baptist Ukrainian Shrine grounds, 952 Green Valley Crescent, off Prince of Wales. For all festivals, please consider riding your bike, taking public transit or car-pool. Most festivals do not offer on-site parking. Consult the website of the festival you plan to attend for parking options.

Bluesfest ticket holders ride free Festival runs to July 16 BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com
Board the bus for Bluesfest. As the festival gets underway, the city is reminding concert attendees to use OC Transpo. Anyone with tickets to the music festival at LeBreton Flats from July 6 to July 16 — featuring 50 Cent, Pink, Muse, Tom Petty, Melissa Etheridge and more — can use the ticket as their bus pass. The tickets can be used up to three hours before the start of the concert and two hours after the end of the event. Last year, the city and the festival reached a five-year deal, allowing ticket holders to show their ticket, card or bracelet to the bus operator as they board.
The deal has the festival paying $100,000 to the city’s transit system each year to help recoup costs, plus additional charges related to deployment and managing the service for the festival, including supervisors and security requirements. Last year, that cost was estimated at about $9,000. In 2015, about 40 per cent of concertgoers used city transit services and about 30,000 people attended the festival. There are 12 routes that provide direct service to and from LeBreton Station. Free parking is also available at park-and-ride lots across the city. Between 11 p.m. and 11:45 p.m., extra trips will also be added to accommodate crowds. Extra trips will also be added to the O-Train Trillium Line in the evenings from Monday to Saturday. It will run until midnight on
Sundays during the event. The city is also cautioning that Route 8, which runs from Billings Bridge to Gatineau, may experience detours and delays in the LeBreton area during Bluesfest. Para Transpo customers can use the service to get to the festival. Registered customers using this service also just need to show their ticket, card or bracelet to the bus operator when being picked up.

Fate of building height in community’s hands: Leiper Continued from page 9
Planning staff is ready to defend the secondary plan, Leiper said. So the fate of the height of the development is really in the community’s hands. “Residents have a serious and legitimate concern about this setting a precedent,” he said, adding it could end up damaging the secondary plan that residents worked hard to get in place. “I’m really putting myself into the communities hands. Even staff are on the fence with this one.” Having the solid secondary plan is changing the conversation. Leiper said residents feel like they get a say on the height of this building, instead of having it imposed on them. Even the Hintonburg Community Association is split. Cheryl Parott said the community worked very hard to help create the vision for the community by providing input on secondary plan. “Now, shortly after it’s passed,
we’re throwing it out the window,” she said. Parott wants to keep the developer at six storeys to avoid others from asking for nine and having a canyon effect around the square. “I’d prefer to stick with the plan,” said the security co-chair of the Hintonburg Community Association. On the other side of things is Jay Baltz, the zoning co-chair for the association. He’s comfortable with the height, but a little less so about the potential precedent. Allowing the building to move forward would mean the developer can't pause, and add even more storeys in the future, Baltz said. But in return, he wants to see the developer make a significant contribution to the revitalization of Somerset Square. The community association board planned to meet on July 10 to decide its stance on the proposal. “We may just decide that we’re split evenly,” Baltz said.
Lansdowne posts another loss, OSEG hopeful for 2017/18 JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mctinosh@metroland.com
The $1-million price tag took a little of the shine off winning the grey cup, the city’s finance and economic development committee heard on July 4. Roger Greenberg, chairman of the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group, said the cost came as a result of paying for travel and bonuses. The Canadian Football League is currently working out a plan to change the distribution of funds so the two top teams don’t end up paying more, Greenberg said. While every Redblacks game sold out this year, the report from OSEG, said Lansdowne operated at a loss of $985,000 in 2015. The group reported to the city’s finance and economic on July 5. Bernie Ashe, the CEO of OSEG, said revenue increased by 17 per cent from the previ-

Diane Deans asked how close the city is to implementing climate control. Chenier said there are three options to put in a system, but the only one that respects the heritage nature of the building would cost $1 million. “The space seems to be pretty popular despite the lack of a climate control system and we have fans to keep it cool,” Chenier said, adding in the long run the city will have to look at making the investment.

Revenues are rising — with Lansdowne pulling in $40 million in 2015 — nearly double the $25 million of the previous year. “From my perspective, the partnership (with the city) is working well,” Greenberg said. He added due to higher vacancy rates in office buildings downtown; it’s been slower to fill the office space than anticipated. The office space is at about 55 per cent capacity, Greenberg said, adding that once the buildings are full the workers will frequent the retail establishments. Greenberg said 97 per cent of the retail space has been leased.

Notice of Completion of Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) Baseline Road Bus Rapid Transit Corridor (Bayshore Station to Heron Station) Planning and Environmental Assessment Study
The Project The City of Ottawa has completed an Environmental Project Report for a Baseline Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) facility between Bayshore Station and Heron Station, in accordance with Ontario Regulation 231/08. The corridor follows an alignment which includes Holly Acres Road, Richmond Road, Baseline Road, and Heron Road (Figure 1). Near the Baseline Station area, it travels via Constellation Drive, Navaho Drive, College Avenue and Woodroffe Avenue to link the Centrepointe community and Algonquin College campus. The project proposes dedicated bus-only lanes (generally in the median), 25 new transit stations and new pedestrian and cycling facilities along the length of the 14-km corridor. The project will incorporate all elements of a complete street while also maintaining the function of the road as an Arterial Road. This project is part of the Rapid Transit and Transit Priority Network identified in the City’s Transportation Master Plan (TMP) 2013 and connects to other existing and planned rapid transit corridors, including the West Transitway, the Confederation Line, the Southwest Transitway, the Trillium Line, and Southeast Transitway. The project will accommodate the anticipated growth in transit ridership as contemplated in the TMP and support the growth management policies identified in the City’s Official Plan (OP).
The Process The environmental impact of this transit project was assessed and documented in an Environmental Project Report prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects and Greater Toronto Transportation Authority Undertakings. The Environmental Project Report documents the entire study process, including a description of the planned project, its anticipated environmental impacts, and the project’s consultation program. The Final Environmental Project Report for the Baseline Road Bus Rapid Transit Corridor is now available for a 30-day public review period starting July 13, 2017. Please note that the Draft EPR has been available for public review during the Notice of Commencement phase, which began on May 18, 2017. The final EPR is available at the locations noted below during their regular business hours.

Running the Trillium Line extension further south will get light rail closer to residents of the expanding Riverside South community, said Mayor Jim Watson on July 5. Watson and city rail planning director Chris Swail said during the announcement that the realignment would add approximately 800 metres to the main line and extend it south of Earl Armstrong Road on an existing rail corridor before connecting it with Bowesville Road. The line currently ends at Greenboro Station, and the planned extension is slated to be complete in 2021. Swail said by using the existing rail corridor, the extension won’t exceed the budgeted $3 billion for Stage 2 LRT. “Sticking to the city’s rightof-way to the south, even with grade separation at Bowesville will cost less,” Swail said, adding the shift in alignment could make it easier to extend the line to Limebank Road.
An extension to Limebank would cost an estimated $40 million. Swail said an extension to Limebank could be done in tandem with Stage 2 construction or be a standalone project down the road. The money simply isn’t in the city’s coffers right now. “Stage 2 has hit the affordability cap,” Swail said, adding city officials will need to have discussions with the development community. Swail said this is likely to be the last big change to Stage 2 before the tender documents go out. There’s a similar addition to the original plans for the west end. Stage 2 will bring rail to Algonquin College, Moodie Drive and Trim. The original plans called for the west line to end at Bayshore Shopping Centre. He said to expect an announcement of the three firms that will be handling the construction work on the Trillium Line in the coming weeks. Watson said the city will look at working with private part-
ners to fast track the extension. By moving ahead with development on the north and south sides of Earl Armstrong, the city hopes to raise enough capital from development charges to fund the extension to Riverside South. The community is growing rapidly – the city’s figures suggesting there will be 15,000 new homes in the area by the next decade. A community design plan approved last year projected more than 55,000 residents when the suburb is fully developed. “There is still more work to be done to see what can be achieved, as well as when,” Watson said. “Riverside South is no longer on the outside looking in.” Gloucester-South Nepean Coun. Michael Qaqish praised the new plan for avoiding environmentally sensitive areas, as well as wetlands. The change will also shave a kilometre off riders’ commute, he said. The line will connect to Barrhaven bus routes via Vimy Bridge.

Ottawa Capital Pride wants plainclothes officers only Police officers have been asked to leave their uniforms at home if they plan to walk in Ottawa Capital Pride parade this year BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com

Ottawa police chief Charles Bordeleau, participating, in uniform at Ottawa Capital Pride’s August 2016 parade. This year, Capital Pride has asked officers to leave their uniforms at home if they plan on participating in the parade. Bordeleau has encouraged officers to choose for themselves.
Police officers have been asked to leave their uniforms at home if they plan to walk in Ottawa Capital Pride parade this year.

bers have asked for the event to remain inclusive — which includes police. That being said, the organization has asked that police who do participate, do so in plain clothes. “As an organization, Capital Pride supports the participation of individual LGBTQ2 police officers and their allies in this year’s festival,” the statement read. “ … However, it is of prime importance to us that everyone feels safe at Pride, particularly LGBTQ2 youth, and racialized and Indigenous community members. Accordingly, we respectfully request that participating officers reserve their uniforms and vehicles for official work duties only this year.” However, Ottawa Police chief Charles Bordeleau said officers who choose to participate in the parade can also choose whether or not to wear their uniform. The Ottawa Police already have made a decision to not have a float in the parade. On July 5 Bordeleau tweeted that his plan was to march in the parade in uniform, with fellow officers. “Like our past many years of participation in the parade, officers will also have the choice as to whether they wear their uniform or regular clothes,” Bordeleau said in a statement released on June 30. “We are proud of our uniform, and it is part of our identity — it’s who we are and how we serve the community.” CONSULTATION
According to Capital Pride, this decision was made based on the feedback the organization received from consultations held with stakeholders and LGBTQ2 community members this year. Mayor Jim Watson expressed disappointment with the festival organizers stance on the issue, when asked about the parade during a
light rail announcement on July 5. Watson said he didn’t agree with the decision, but added the city wouldn’t be pulling funding from the annual festival. “We don’t want to punish them for a decision they’ve made,” Watson said. Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley issued a statement earlier in the week, suggesting the city pull funding if this was the new direction Capital Pride was heading in. “The councillor is entitled to his opinion, but I don’t share it,” Watson said. The request for police officers to attend the event in their street clothes was made as a result of concerned community members, Capital Pride organizers said in a statement. “During our consultation process and in ongoing conversations with stakeholders, we have been particularly mindful of events in the last year concerning police participation in Prides across the country,” the Capital Pride statement read. “On the issue of police participation in the Capital Pride festival, community members have been passionate in their views.” In 2016, the Ottawa Police liaison committee celebrated its 25 year anniversary. “We are very proud of this, partnership work with the LGBTQ communities,” Bordeleau’s statement said. “We are committed to continuing this important work with long standing community-police partners like the liaison committee.” Both organizations say they wish to continue to work at strengthening their relationship. Pride week in the capital begins on Aug. 21. As with past years, the Ottawa Police will co-host a barbecue for launch Pride on Aug. 21. Capital Pride’s parade will take place on Aug. 27. - with files from Jennifer McIntosh

Mary completely enjoyed Orangeman’s parade
I
t didn’t matter a whit if you were an Irish Catholic, a German Lutheran, or someone from some other background, everyone for miles around went to the Orangeman’s parade on the 12th of July. Father and the brothers were up at the crack of dawn to do the chores early, and Mother and Audrey were making the lunch to take into Renfrew long before I was out of bed. It would be the most exciting event since the parade several years ago. Towns took turns in hosting the 12th of July, and that year it was Renfrew’s turn. If you didn’t get into town early to park on the main street, you had to go to wherever you could find a spot, and you then ended up standing in the blazing sun under one of the awnings a very few stores had over their doorways. And so that morning, we headed into Renfrew at a time when we would usually be just eating our breakfast. Every ounce of me tingled with excitement. There was nothing that thrilled me more than marching bands and crowds of people, and I could certainly be assured of both as we drove into town in the Model T, hoping we could make the 12.5 mile trip without a flat tire. “Couldn’t be better,” Father said as he wheeled the car next to the curb right in front of the Chinese restaurant. “When can we have the lunch?” Emerson wanted to know. Mother just rolled her eyes in answer. He was treading on thin ice to begin with, as he fought Everett to sit next to the back window, which wasn’t a window at all, but rolled up curtains tied with narrow leather straps. It seemed like hours had passed before we heard the bands coming onto the main street from the fair grounds, and I knew from remembering the last Orangeman’s Parade, that leading the bands and people walking down Raglan Street, would be King Billy on a white horse, dressed in
MARY COOK Memories obviously just as important as King Billy himself. He had a small drum attached to his waist somehow, but he was also blowing into the tiniest horn I had ever seen. His white cap was rimmed with orange braid, and every so often he would take the horn and use it to push the cap back, and then he’d give the little drum a rap with the horn for good measure. He didn’t look right to me, and it was Father’s comment, which told me why. “He’s as drunk as a hoot-owl,” he said. “I don’t think he’ll make it as far as the swinging bridge.” I lost count of the number of bands and the people walkAnd right then I ing behind, some children far younger than I was, dressed in made up my mind full regalia for the day. that as soon as I was And right then I made up my mind that as soon as I old enough I was was old enough I was going going to become an to become an Orangeman!

West end runner to compete in world Para championships Elite athlete heads to Switzerland, England with Team Canada BY JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com
Kanata’s Tommy Des Brisay will represent Canada at the World Para Athletics Championships in July. The 25-year-old elite runner with autism was named to Team Canada and will travel first to Switzerland for training, then on to London, England, for the championships, running July 14 to 23. Currently ranked third in the world in the 5,000 metres for athletes with an intellectual impairment, Des Brisay will race in the 5,000 m and 1,500 m. “He’ll be there wearing the Maple Leaf,” said his mother MaryAnn Given Des Brisay. “He’s going to make Canada proud.” The Bridlewood runner – who owns an extensive collection of Disney movies and can quote characters from any film – said he’s going to channel his inner Dash Parr, the young superhero with superhuman speed from the animated picture The Incredibles. Des Brisay uses bits from Disney films to relate what
he’s feeling and thinking. “I decided to be like Dash Incredible,” he said. “I must find some way to be the first toughest runner in the world.” Sometimes he says he wants to be the fastest runner, or the happiest or the strongest. The words change, but his passion for running doesn’t waver. “He’s gotten to know more athletes from all over Canada and gotten to know coaches,” said MaryAnn. “Now for him to be selected to go to worlds … it’s helping him grow as a person and helping him become more self-sufficient.” Des Brisay has excelled at long-distance running and the evidence hangs on a wall in his bedroom, which is crowded with medals, trophies and ribbons. Among his long list of running accomplishments are a first-place win at the Canada Army Run half-marathon last year where he finished ahead of 8,500 participants with a time of 1:12:25; a silver finish in the 5,000 m at his first international race, held in Italy in 2016; and three years running he’s been named Road Racer of the Year at the Ottawa Sports Award banquet. Des Brisay, who was next in line to race at the 2016 Rio Paralympics, is a Paralympic hopeful for Tokyo 2020. His goal, he
make his own. “He told me to put him on YouTube, it wasn’t my idea,” said MaryAnn, adding she figured they would post a couple of videos “very discreetly” because she was concerned about online safety. “I didn’t foresee (this),” she said, laughing. The channel now has more than 21,500 subscribers. It features videos of him at races and while training, as well as trips to Disney, playing guitar and family celebrations.

Travel safely with pets: Humane Society CHRISTOPHER WHAN christopher.whan@metroland.com
The Ottawa Humane Society is reminding people how dangerous it is to leave your pet in a hot car. On July 5, the humane society held a seminar to educate pet owners on the risks. Time and time again people are caught leaving their dogs — and sometimes cats — in vehicles on hot days while they quickly run into a store or other building. According to the humane society, on a hot day the temperature inside a parked car can surpass 40

C in minutes. With only hot air to breathe, a dog’s normal cooling process of panting doesn’t work, and its internal temperature can rise, leading to heat exhaustion, brain damage or even death. Another staple of summer is the road trip, and people will often bring their dogs. The humane society also provided information at the seminar on the proper way to transport your pets in a car and what you should bring on a road trip. Preparation is key and the humane society provided a checklist of things to bring for your pet on your adventures. Things like food and water,

a kennel and a bed first come to mind, but there are other important things to consider. Documentation is one such example. The society recommends bringing a recent photo, identification, microchip information and even vaccination record of your pet. This is primarily to assist in a search if your pet goes missing in an environment it isn’t familiar with. First aid kits for pets are another item that is highly recommended. Vet gauze, liquid bandages and tick pullers, and even hydrogen peroxide are things that pet owners are encouraged to take along.

Ottawa Humane Society Makes First FIV-Positive Cats Available for Adoption The Ottawa Humane Society has just expanded its adoption program to include cats with the FIV virus, helping even more of the animals in our community get their second chance. “We’re really excited to be able to give these animals a shot at a happy life with a forever family,” said Bruce Roney, OHS executive director. “We think our community will step up and really embrace the opportunity to help us find even more animals a home.” “We think our community is ready for this. We’ve done the research and recognize it’s time to make this change,” he said. FIV stands for feline immunodeficiency virus, said Dr. Shelley Hutchings, OHS chief veterinarian. Only cats can get FIV, as the virus does not infect other species of animals or humans, she said. “For us, adopting out these cats means more resources, like medical tests and our time, because we know it will take a little longer for them to find a permanent home. But to the right adopter, it’s just a member of their family in need of a little more TLC,” Hutchings said. With proper care, FIV-positive cats may live a long and healthy life, she said. They do need a little more care than a cat without the virus, she said. “We’re talking about twice yearly vet visits, some blood work. Maybe some extra dental care,” Hutchings said. “We know this will be daunting to some people but to the right match, it won’t be.” The most common way FIV is spread is through bite wounds. Because of this, FIV-positive cats at the OHS are only adopted into homes with no other cats, Hutchings said. “We think these cats deserve the same chance as every other feline in our Adoption Centre. These creatures will make loving companions to some lucky adopters,” Hutchings said. To learn more about the program, please visit the Ottawa Humane Society at 245 West Hunt Club Rd.

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!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you may need to make some modifications to your strategy as a situation continues to evolve. Don’t be afraid of change, as it is necessary to get the job done.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, allow your plans for selfimprovement to take center stage, especially true if you have put them on the shelf for some time. Make yourself a priority.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, a possible breakthrough in your communication levels may open up a whole new world. This can only improve your relationships and help your career.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 It can be difficult to separate facts from the fiction, Taurus. However, you generally are a good lie detector. Put your skills to use to determine if someone is stringing you along.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you don’t tend to be reckless, but even you can surprise others sometimes with your behavior. Let the tongues wag if it means stepping out of your comfort zone.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you’re very good at balancing the elements of your life. This week may be especially challenging as many things come your way in rapid succession.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, some shocking information may find you reeling if you do not stay grounded. Although it comes as a surprise, with some processing you will be able to handle it.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, take others’ candor with a grain of salt. They might just be blowing off steam and they will appreciate having someone there who listens.
AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, others may seem sure about their actions even if you feel lost. Don’t put too much stock in it, as everyone copes with self-doubt from time to time.
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, address a potentially mess situation before it gathers too much steam. Communication is all that’s needed to ensure cooler heads ultimately prevail.
SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you sometimes have a sarcastic sense of humor that makes you loved by some and disliked by others. Explain to the latter group that you mean no harm.
PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Some of your beliefs are nonnegotiable, Pisces. This can make for some rather heated conversations. But you’re up to the challenge.
