A growing concern Woodpark is worried the New Orchard LRT station will take out two 150-year-old elm trees Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

Putting the New Orchard LRT station through Byron Linear Park would make the Woodpark community not only “woodless” but “parkless” as well, say its members. Larry Ladell, chair of

the transportation committee of the Woodpark Community Association became aware of the proposal to locate the station south of Richmond Road – in the Byron Linear Park – between Woodland and Harcourt Avenue at a June 4 open house. “I was gobsmacked,”

Ladell said of the proposal. “I couldn’t believe it had come to this.” One of Ladell’s main concerns is a pair of 150-yearold elm trees which will be removed for the construction of the station. The station is on one of three extensions to the light rail transit system planned between 2018 and 2023. It includes 13 kilometres of new rail and 10 stations. The line east of Woodroffe Avenue runs beneath Richmond Road, heading to Cleary Station. The platform in the linear park will provide surface access down to the trains. At the public meeting, Barbara Hemming asked the landscape architect what would happen to the trees and if they could be saved. See NEIGHBOURHOOD, page 2

“I know it seems like a small move to move it across the street, but it does put a barrier between them.” Moving the station north also reduces the catchment area to pull in riders, as it would instead extend into the Ottawa River. Taylor added the Ambleside and McEwen neighbourhoods have a greater affinity for their local bus route than they would for LRT. While Taylor said the route for stage two LRT is pretty much set, he said there is room for

changes to the future station’s footprint, based on community consultations – though he can’t promise the two elms could be saved. “There is a possibility they could be saved, but I can’t give a guarantee that any one or two particular trees are going to be saved,” he said, adding part of the station planning includes formalizing part of the linear park space as parkland. The city also plans to enhance the ground cover so any trees planted can be healthier, he said, adding a lot of the trees in the park are already suffering because of the limited space. The narrow strip of land was where a former streetcar line passed through the neighbourhood. While the community values the swath of parkland, Taylor said it’s not actually big enough for a lot of use. Instead, he said there might be an opportunity between New Orchard and Woodroffe Avenues to create a more active space with market vendors and picnic tables and small structures. “You could actually enhance that park space – all of that would be fuelled by the LRT project,” he said. Taylor said the size of the station is yet to be decided and could be as small as a couple of bus shelters, or much larger. “It really comes down to what the community is comfortable with,” he said. The neighbourhood is also in the process of getting another small park formalized near Lawn Avenue and Edgeworth. Taylor said the city is engaging with residents about what they would like to see done with the small property, which will have access to a community garden located on the neighbouring NCC property.

“Then the planners take the only park we have and dig it up,” he said. Ladell suggests that the station instead be located on the north side of Richmond Road, where there is a “ramshackle collection of car lots,” he wrote in a submission to the city. While Ladell estimates most of the ridership for the LRT will come from the north side of Richmond Road, the area’s councillor, Mark Taylor, said most of the riders will come from Woodpark. “The LRT in that space is really for the benefit of people who live in Woodpark,” Taylor said in an interview.

Both Ladell and Hemming worry the city will stop treatments against Dutch elm disease for the pair of trees and they will die from neglect. “If there was an American elm tree beauty competition, this one would win,” Hemming said of

Crime rate down, but violent crime up

The crime rate might be going down, but instances of violent crime are up in the City of Ottawa. The police services board received its annual report at a meeting on June 27, showing the crime rate, calculated per 100,000 people, went down two per cent between 2014 and 2015. But according to the crime severity index – a measure of police reported crime reflecting the seriousness of offences – violent crime was up 7.3 per cent. Board member Sandy Smallwood questioned the difference

during the meeting. “I’m at a loss for why we are seeing that change,” he said. “Is this a trend? Why are we seeing this flip?” Deputy Chief Jill Skinner explained that to be a trend, the occurrence would have to be seen over three consecutive years. “It’s driven by increases in attempted murders, robberies, assaults, sexual violations and abduction offences,” Skinner said. “Additionally, the increases in non-violent crimes that carry more serious sentences added to that outcome.” Repeat offenders who receive longer sentences also contribute to the increase

seen on the crime severity index she said.

‘I’d be very careful about how you interpret this. We live in a safe city and police are doing a good job.’

Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder, who sits on the police board, cautioned board members not to read too much into the report. “I’d be very careful about how you interpret this. We live in a safe city and police are doing a good job,” Harder said. “Our stats are excellent.”

Ultimate Dinosaurs take over nature museum Michelle Baker Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

Young or old, if you love dinosaurs make your way to the Canadian Museum of Nature this summer. The museum opened its latest exhibition, Ultimate Dinosaurs, that features dinosaurs from the ancient supercontinent of Gondwana. The show features 16 fully-articulated skeletons and explores the formation of Gondwana, which took place roughly 145 million years ago, and how the creatures on this supercontinent evolved there in isolation – there is even one dinosaur that shows evidence of being a cannibal – and eventually how this supercontinent eventually split into South America, Africa, Madagascar, Australia and Antarctica. Even though the museum

already has one of the best dinosaur collections – most of their skeletons are complete or near complete – its scientists say it’s hard to pass up this travelling exhibition that has a species that is even bigger than a Tyrannosaurus rex. “This showcases dinosaurs we don’t get to see in North America,” said museum palaeontologist Jordan Mallon. A big kid himself, Mallon admits there is some pretty cool dinosaurs in the exhibit he was excited to see. “Some of them are just so different and weird to us, they are bigger and stranger,” he added. “I’m as excited as the kids are about this.” The biggest part of the show is of course Giganotosaurus. Coming from Argentina, Giganotosaurus lived about 110 million years ago. More

than 80 per cent of all of its bones have been found – which means this guy is a sight to see – even if Mallon truly believes T-Rex’s bonecrushing jaw would devour him in a fight. And what is the largest dinosaur that may have lived? Well, that guy is too big for the exhibition hall, but there is the opportunity to have some sort of an idea as a portion of Futalognkosaurus’ three-metre tall skeletal leg is on display. Futalognkosaurus is a giant long-necked sauropod (lizard-footed) dinosaur that stretched 110 feet long and is believed to have weighed as much as 10 elephants. The Ultimate Dinosaurs exhibit opened on June 11 and runs until Sept. 5. To check out the exhibit, a surcharge does apply, $10 for adults, $7 for children three to 17 years old and seniors.

“In all honesty, I wish I didn’t have to talk to you about your toilet. Ever…”

Look for ticks on yourself and your family after being outdoors.

• But there’s something I’ve just got to tell you. No one wants to talk about toilets, but in my business we don’t have a choice. In fact, it’s my obligation to tell you that your “current” toilet’s poor performance is not your imagination. Oh, it looks like a toilet and does pretty much what they’re designed to do -except for one thing… It’s wasting water. It’s the old “good intentions/bad results” scenario. The Ontario government passed a law to reduce water consumption, and that law mandated that new toilets use only 6 litres of water. This is – in many cases – less than half of the “old” standard toilet that would flush a football. While the law is good, the toilet designs are bad. And that has led to something almost comical: The “new, conserving” toilets must regularly be flushed two or more times, which means they use more water than the “old” toilets. The problem was so

bad that the government had set up a Toilet Testing Lab (not kidding) to see if 6 litres could really even work as designed. Of the hundreds of toilets tested, they found few that worked.

Symptoms may Include Rash, fever, chills, headache, fatigue, muscle/joint aches; problems with your heartbeat, breathing, balance, short-term memory.

And we’ve got the best one. Gerber works first time, every time. As plumbers, we know quality, and this is superb. The enameled porcelain is superior; as are the fittings, valves, and seriously engineered construction. So if you are the least bit frustrated with the poor quality, “double flushing” leak-prone toilet in your otherwise fine home, please give us a call.

Scenes from Ottawa fill colouring book pages Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

Got Events?

How colourful is Ottawa? It’s all in the eye of the beholder. Or in this case, the holder of the pencil crayons. Ottawa artists have compiled drawings of Ottawa scenes and monuments to create the Ottawa in Colour colouring book. In total, 22 artists created 32 different pictures that depict familiar scenes for many Ottawa residents, from the view of the Rideau Canal to a couple strolling past Dunn’s on Elgin Street. Nepean’s Jason Cobill said he was discussing how to raise money for local arts while standing in a book store’s colouring book section. “There was an explosion in my head,” said Cobill, who quickly started to contact friends to see who would be interested in contributing a drawing. He bounced the idea off University of Ottawa co-worker Maxime Gauthier-Kwan, an east Ottawa resident who grew up in Orléans. “We actually work side-byside,” Gauthier-Kwan said. “And we always throw these crazy ideas at each other.” Two months later, the book full of different Ottawa images was heading to press after Cobill and Gauthier-Kwan quickly got the book together. The project received a $1,000 grant from Awesome Ottawa to include more artists in the book – every artist who participated was paid for their art. The book was formally launched on June 25 and there have already been more than 700 copies sold. They’ve officially broke even on the sales, and proceeds from

Westboro artist Dan Asencio, a New York City transplant to Ottawa, shows the Hintonburg page he drew for the Ottawa in Colour book at a book signing at Billings Bridge on July 8. the $20 book will be donated to various arts organizations in the city, Cobill said. People have reacted well to the innovative book, usually recognizing a scene from their own day-to-day life in the collection. “So many people are really intrigued to see their own neighbourhood represented,” Cobill said. Photographer Vincent Kember decided to amp up a scene he’s seen many times – the Place d’Orléans shopping centre where bus routes connect. “I had almost 20 years of seeing it every day,” he said. “I had to make it look more interesting. If I drew it the way you see it, it would be more spread out.” He superimposed different parts of the shopping centre

Marianne’s

into one image and took out things that would block the distinct roof to create the drawing. Artist Dan Asencio, from Westboro, drew a scene from the nearby Hintonburg that also depicts a Bridgehead. His drawing is distinctly different from Cobill and Kember’s, as the former New York City resident applied a more comic and psychedelic look to his work. It’s interesting for artists to have someone else come in and finish a piece of art, Asencio said. He said he’s hard on himself, as most artists are, and having someone come in and want to add colour to the art he started is motivating. “I was over the moon when I saw someone had (coloured in) one of my drawings,” Cobill said.

There are scenes of the classic Ottawa sightseeing stops, such as Parliament Hill, and more abstract Ottawa themed pages. The family of the late Mathieu Trudel contributed a drawing the artist did of Vanier before he dies for the colouring book. Each of the pages depicts a different scene, and a different artist’s style. Cobill said the response has been so strong, they are considering a second edition of the book. Ottawa in Colour is available at all Chapters, Cole’s and Indigo bookstores in Ottawa as well as online at www.ottawaincolour.com.

Instead of swatting away that buzzing bumblebee this summer, Friends of the Earth Canada is encouraging Ottawans to take its picture and upload it, as part of the Great Canadian Bumble Bee Count, on until Aug. 15. According to Frances Fyfe, outreach intern for Friends of the Earth, Ottawa is a hotbed of bumblebee species, which makes it a great location for the count. And you don’t have to be a specialist to participate. “It’s not a hard thing to do,” Fyfe said. “All you really need is a smartphone.” You can snap a quick picture and upload it to www. bumblebeewatch.org with some notes about the date and location the photo was taken, including the longitude and latitude, floral host, if known, and weather. Fyfe is hoping to have as many people as possible

participate and to help get people started, Friends of the Earth is hosting several events, where people can ask questions and get information about local bee populations. The free lunchtime workshops are being held on July 14 and 19 from noon to 1 p.m. at 251 Bank St., which includes a showing of newly-released documentary A Ghost in the Making: Searching for the Rusty-patched Bumble Bee (which is about a bee that is listed as endangered). Other free workshops will be held at Fletcher Wildlife Garden on July 13 at 7 p.m. and July 17 at 9 a.m. After the morning workshop, there will be time to explore the gardens, searching for the buzzing pollinators. There are about 40 different kinds of bumblebees in Canada, which act as pollinators. Scientists will use the information from the count to determine distribution and population trends and the sta-

tus and conservation needs in Canada. When it comes to bees, Fyfe said, honey bees get most of the attention, but as many as one-third of North American bumblebee species are in decline and six are critically at risk. “It’s hard to say exactly why populations are decreasing,” Fyfe said, pointing to several factors, including loss of habitat, as well as pesticides and climate change. “That’s why this huge task is so important; it’s to get a grasp on the numbers,” she said. Friends of the Earth is also encouraging gardeners to plant bee-friendly plants such as native flowers and providing stems and sticks as nesting sites, as part of its Let it Bee campaign. Bees are attracted to sunflowers, echinacea, lavender and bee balm. To register for a workshop or for more information go to foecanada.org/en/the-greatcanadian-bumble-bee-count/.

Take time to get hospital right

he National Capital Commission is taking its time to decide where an expansion of the Ottawa Hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Civic campus should be located. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a decision worth waiting for. Better a good decision than a quick one we live to regret. The first attempt was ham-fisted, and would have cut away land from the Central Experimental Farm. The public had no real say in the matter, and former MP John Baird â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the local liaison with the NCC â&#x20AC;&#x201C; seemed content to ignore those voices. The location was convenient but the farm is cherished by many people â&#x20AC;&#x201C; some who live nearby and some from far away. This was not a case of NIMBY-ism. Farm supporters know the thin end a wedge when they see one. If part of the farm could be sliced away for the hospital expansion, another â&#x20AC;&#x153;good causeâ&#x20AC;? could come along anytime, and the farm could eventually be sacrificed, field by field. The NCC is now re-investigating preferred sites for the Civic expansion, including a list of 12 sites pinpointed back in 2008. A recommen-

dation is expected in November. While it would be nice to have a quick decision, getting it right is crucial. What is eventually constructed will stand for decades; a poor, rushed decision about its location must be avoided. Proximity to the existing Civic campus would be nice but should not limit the decision makers. The Civic is but one campus managed by the Ottawa Hospital. If a new campus is created â&#x20AC;&#x201C; distant from the Civic â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there will be no need to add layers of management. The new building(s) and all the existing campuses will be operated by the same management team. A new site brings new opportunities. Existing departments at the other campuses that desperately need more space could be moved to the new property, and that in turn could free up space in existing buildings. Demand never goes down, only up. There are growing, global medical challenges the Ottawa Hospital could address through expansion â&#x20AC;&#x201C; potentially benefiting people around the world. And people here in Ottawa. But only if we get it right.

Piano at city hall a symbol of openness and inclusion

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funny: just as I was thinking about writing something nice about the piano in the Ottawa City Hall lobby somebody wrote about it in an Ottawa daily newspaper, suggesting that not everyone there likes it all that much. Actually, you can understand that. Wandering through the city hall ground floor at odd times during the jazz festival, I noticed that the piano was always being played, sometimes really well, sometimes less so, and wondered how the people working near it would feel about. Sometimes, no matter how well an instrument is being played, you wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind silence for a while. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the merest of quibbles. In the larger sense, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard not to admire the decision to put a piano out in the lobby of an

piano. Typically, people hear it when they are wandering through city hall, as people do. They use the lobby as a short-cut between Lisgar Street and Laurier Avenue. Or they hear the piano when they emerge from the parking lot underneath, a favourite of those who attend the jazz festival or, in colder times, skate on the Rink of Dreams, another unregulated pleasure that city hall affords, or use the city hall washrooms. If you were a little kid you could sit down at the piano and practise your recital piece, or maybe try to pick out some tune your heard on the radio. You might do that while your parents are wandering through the city hall art gallery, a much-overlooked institution that puts on exhibitions of high quality throughout the DISTRIBUTION INQUIRIES 5SBDJ $BNFSPO ADMINISTRATION: %POOB 5IFSJFO HOME BUILDERS ACCOUNTS SPECIALIST (FPGG )BNJMUPO DISPLAY ADVERTISING: (JTFMF (PEJO ,BOBUB 3BOEZ 0MNTUFBE 0UUBXB 8FTU $JOEZ (JMCFSU 0UUBXB 4PVUI $BSMZ .D(IJF 0UUBXB &BTU +JMM .BSUJO /FQFBO $BUIFSJOF -PXUIJBO #BSSIBWFO #FMMT $PSOFST .JLF 4UPPEMFZ 4UJUUTWJMMF "OOJF %BWJT 0UUBXB 8FTU 3JDP $PSTJ "VUPNPUJWF $POTVMUBOU #MBJS ,JSLQBUSJDL 0SMFBOT CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING SALES: 4IBSPO 3VTTFMM

year and at no charge to the public. Openness to the arts is another welcome feature. Many people have fond recollections of the previous city hall on Sussex Drive, out by what is now Global Affairs. It was a striking building. But the current city hall, which was once regional headquarters is more centrally located and, as a result, better used. Its ease of access is not just for festival-goers, gallery attenders and those who park underneath but for those who want to drop in on city council meetings. That is important for local democracy. It seems a no-brainer that the home of local government should be a place where citizens feel at home but most of us know how rare in fact this is.

Cultivating a team in the workplace

’ve had the opportunity to work with many different sizes and types of businesses, across many different industries. Sometimes, relations with clients go smoothly. Other times, for reasons that are hard to pinpoint, I can’t seem to gel with a particular person on the team. That’s normal, right? As my mom used to say, “you can’t please all the people all the time.” Whether you’re a parent, a coach, a supervisor or a business owner, however, having friction on your team can have a big impact on outcome. What if you could cultivate a team that worked together well, if not all the time, then most of the time? American author and business consultant Patrick Lencioni may have the answer. In his 2016 book, “The Ideal Team Player,”

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse

They realize that team players share three essential virtues: Smart, hungry and humble. Smart is a characteristic of emotional intelligence, regarding social interaction. It’s about how team players interact with those around them. RELATING

Lencioni tells the anecdote of a construction firm with a newly-minted and very green chief operating officer, a history of workplace friction, and a need to rapidly hire 60 employees to resource two new public contracts. The COO is shocked when the human resources manager says that, in order to increase staff by 60, the organization must recruit and hire at least 80 individuals. Concerned by the 30-per cent turnover

rate, the COO starts to examine why the company has failed to retain good people, especially those in hard-to-staff positions like foremen. The executive team make a collective decision that, to avoid the high turnover rate, they need to identify and cultivate the essential qualities of good team players. They analyze existing and recentlydeparted employees, they analyze each other, they analyze themselves.

Do they understand how to relate to different people, in different situations? Do they know when to speak and when to be quiet? People who are aware of the importance of interpersonal reactions are more likely to be tuned into the needs of those around them and to respond accordingly. Hungry is about passion for the work. Most people have had the experience of working on a team, only to discover there’s one person that does the bare mini-

mum to get by, right? It’s not that the individual isn’t meeting expectations, but that he’s not demonstrating any sort of willingness to go above and beyond. Team players, says Lencioni, have a fire in their bellies. They embrace the work they’re doing with a hunger to always do their best, to exceed expectations, where possible, making them more likely to work autonomously, to find innovative solutions to challenges that arise, and to inspire those around them. The third characteristic, humble, is the one the anecdotal COO has the hardest time recognizing. But it’s important. The best team players – and the best leaders – are respectful of the people they’re working with and they’re willing to admit when they’ve made mistakes. Essentially, they leave their egos at the door. Being humble, Lencioni explains, makes others on the team confident to speak up when there’s a problem,

to criticize and to find creative solutions. The team member that treats her colleagues the same way she would the CEO is the one that’s humble. The executive that treats his equals well, but his administrative assistant poorly lacks humility that contributes to team work. The team player that can’t recognize and own up to failure will have a very difficult time learning from mistakes and moving on. It sounds overly simplistic, but time and again the anecdotal executive team comes to realize that two of the qualities are not enough to make a good employee. I’m not a big believer that these virtues are necessarily personality traits. Often, people’s worst qualities show up when they’re stressed, in the wrong job or simply don’t like their teammates. But at least, as a business owner and as a parent, I have a hint of what essential virtues to cultivate in myself and in my team.

Bonnie Campbell recognized through provincial program Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

When fighting the expansion of the Champlain Bridge in 1991, Catherine Casserly first met the woman she calls a “tiny little ball of energy.” And many years later, Casserly would nominate Bonnie Campbell for the province’s Leading Women Building Communities recognition program. It was awarded to Campbell earlier this year. “People like her make it a good place to live,” Casserly, who is treasurer of the Westboro Beach Community Association, said of Campbell. It was Casserly who had the honour of telling Campbell about the award. “It embarrassed the crap out of her,” Casserly remembered. “But I told her she’s a role model for other women coming up behind her.” In a letter to Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi, supporting Casserly’s nomination, Cameron MacLeod, executive director of the Carlington

Community Health Centre, estimated Campbell has volunteered more than 200 hours of service in the last two years. During that time, she has run a monthly community kitchen for those in the area, which expanded to include a women’s leadership program to help develop the skills and confidence of local women. “I really enjoy cooking, and I just find it really rewarding to bring people together to build a community in that fashion because I do think you can build a community through food,” Campbell said of the experience. It brings together people of different backgrounds to share recipes and prepare a meal. “We get together and share a meal and get to know each other as neighbours. That has been a very rewarding project.” That program will move to the Van Lang Field House – another project Campbell has had a hand in. She has also been a board member of the Westboro Beach Community Association.

looking for a space to meet. “It was sort of a need we saw in the community and we just worked to accomplish it, and we are still working. We still need program money and

we still have a lot of work left to do there,” Campbell said. Campbell said all of the projects are a group effort, so she was surprised to have been recognized by her peers.

“I was really surprised, but honoured that my friends and neighbours had taken the time to nominate me with quite an honour,” she said. Before Campbell received the award, Casserly highlighted several of Campbell’s accomplishments, including making school breakfasts and providing support to refugee families. Tiegitsi Belway wrote a letter supporting Campbell’s nomination. She came to Canada almost six years ago and was visited by Campbell the second day after her arrival. “Whenever we need something, Bonnie would always offer it whether it was a printer, ink, tutor, Christmas presents every year, birthday presents,” it reads. “I wish I can give something back for her hospitality, generosity, for just being there for us and everything she has done for us.” But it’s not just other people who benefit from Campbell’s work in the neighbourhood. “In all cases, I just get way more back than I give,” she said.

Local band leMeow takes the stage at Bluesfest on July 17 Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

Gin Bourgeois has moved around a lot, but when she’s living in Ottawa, she always takes in at least one show at Bluesfest. Then last year, her band, leMeow, was featured at the music festival as an offsite act – this year, it’s their time to take centre stage. Bourgeois, the group’s vocalist, will perform alongside James Rooke on bass, Brent Hultquist on keys and Jansen Richard on drums on the Claridge Homes Stage on July 17, from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. “It feels really great to be recognized by your peers in your own city,” Bourgeois said of being on the roster of local acts for the annual festival. “I know that there’s just so much talent in Ottawa and am very proud to have our name up there with the other local bands.” The group had its fingers crossed to be part of the main festival lineup this year,

after releasing its first fulllength album, called York St. “We figured this would be a good opportunity to play our new songs for a large audience,” she said. “This is probably the largest platform that we’ve played on, so I’m really looking forward to getting our name out there to a wider audience and, honestly, I think it will be fun to be on a big stage like that and have the space to run around,” Bourgeois said. The 10 original songs on the new album were co-written by Bourgeois and Rooke and recorded with the help of a grant from the Foundation Assisting Canadian Talent on Recordings and producer Eric Eggleston of Johnny Hall Productions. When Rooke and Bourgeois first met, Rooke was living in the Byward Market area and that’s where the pair worked out many of the songs on the York St. album. “It’s also an homage to the market area because there’s so much music and culture

that goes on in that area, especially on York Street. We kind of wanted to pay tribute to that as well,” Bourgeois said. The group’s cover art is a photo of York Street by William James Topley made available from the Library and Archives, featuring the horse and buggy days of downtown Ottawa circa 1911. She describes the group’s sound as “soul-infused indie pop,” with hints of Motown, Amy Winehouse and Ray Charles. The new album will anchor the group’s performance at Bluesfest, where Bourgeois said they will play about 14 songs, which will include some of their older music and maybe a few covers. Bourgeois, who currently lives in Little Italy, is just hoping to keep her nerves in check. “I struggle with nerves sometimes before I go on,” Bourgeois said, saying the feeling is inevitable. “The

The full band has

been performing together for about a year. The Bluesfest performance follows a busy couple of weeks for the band, which performed on Sparks Street during Ribfest and Canada Day and also performed at the Rideau Centre

as part of the city’s jazz festival. Bluesfest continues through July 17 at LeBreton Flats. Tickets are available at www.ottawabluesfest.ca. For more information about leMeow, visit its website at http://lemeowmusic.com/.

Snow plowing to stay at status quo

Look inside for the

Jennifer McIntosh

In Your Community Newspaper*

jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

A plan to save the city money by changing the threshold for when plows start to clear residential roads was quashed at transportation committee on July 6. The committee, which voted on a report by consultants KPMG that reviewed the city’s winter operations, in the hopes of wringing some much needed cash out of the snow removal budget, opted to stick with a seven-centimetre minimum standard for residential roads, rather than the suggested 10 cm. If that recommendation had been implemented it would have saved $1 million. Half of the savings would have been reinvested in more trucks to re-prioritize roads that are currently meeting the city’s minimum quality standard – which is to have them cleared 10 hours after the snow fall ends. Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt, whose ward

is 744 square-kilometres and four “beats” (snow plow routes) says he thinks residents would have seen an improvement. The largest of the two beats would have been broken up into two had the report’s recommendation been approved, he said. Moffatt added residents might have gotten on board if the issue had been better presented. “Does it matter if trucks aren’t coming out until 10 cm if your road is being done five hours earlier?” he asked. But it was easier to keep with the status quo, he said. The city’s winter operations budget has gone over by an average of $12 million over the last five years. Ottawa is among the snowiest of the world’s capital cities – with an average yearly snowfall of 2.23 metres. Moffatt said something’s got to be done, but hopes raising taxes isn’t the answer. “Taking free money is the easier way,” he said. “It’s

much harder to find those efficiencies.” Moffatt said he hopes staff can work out a solution to prioritizing residential roads before the budget comes up for debate. “We are talking about $500,000,” he said. “A one per cent tax increase would generate $13 million. I think we can find the money some other way.” Several councillors said the report should have been made public sooner, and residents should have been able to provide feedback before the committee voted on the matter. Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans said that the process was an insult to the public and urged staff to do better in the future. “In 2012, we voted for a public engagement strategy,” she said. “And the basic principles weren’t followed. Any changes to service standards should have triggered a public comment process.” City manager Steve Kanel-

FLYER

lakos disagreed, and said that the winter operations review was just the first of six departmental reviews staff were asked to undertake by council. He said that if staff had to consult with the public on every review they did to try and save money the process would get hopelessly bogged down.

Union to be consulted about report Continued from page 13

College Coun. Rick Chiarelli, who took criticism from Mayor Jim Watson the day before for not setting up his own public consultation, said releasing the report “on the eve of Canada Day” pretty much ensured there wasn’t going to be much feedback. But residents weren’t the only ones calling on committee to have their say. Brian Madden, who heads Ottawa Carleton Public Employees Union Local 503, said the city should have asked the union and the frontline staff where

they could save money. While Madden was pleased that committee chair Keith Egli put forward the amendment to the report that would keep the minimum standard at seven cm, he said another element – the part about rejigging the ratio of contract work to staff work – should have been discussed with the union first. Kevin Wylie, the city’s general manager of public works, said KPMG conducted 10 focus groups with frontline workers to get their input. But, Wylie said, he didn’t directly communicate with

the union president about the report and it’s recommendations, he said, adding he could have done so. That will happen before the item goes to council on July 13, thanks to a direction to staff from Orléans Coun. Bob Monette. Aside from the re-jig of contract to staff ratios, the other recommendation to survive the marathon committee meeting was making sure operations for larger roads didn’t exceed current standards. The total net savings of the slate of recommendations was $5.9 million over two years.

Sisters in art City Councillor/Conseiller Municipal River Ward/Quartier Rivière

Artists and sisters-in-law Maureen O’Neill, left, and Carolynne Pynn-Trueau display their art, paintings and pottery respectively, at Pynn-Trudeau’s Glebe home during the Glebe Art in our Gardens and Studio Tour event on July 9. The tour invited the public to stop at several locations throughout the Glebe and take in the work of local artists.

Summer Spikes with Property Crimes Please take necessary precautions to secure your house, vehicle and other possessions, as reports of increased property crime have been reported in River Ward. Consider locking bicycles, even when stored in your garage and ensure windows, patio doors and your front door are locked when you go to bed. Summer time provides too many easy opportunities for thieves. Police to Focus on Cyclists and Red Light Runners During the month of July, the Ottawa Police Service will focus their attention on cycling safety and red light running. Between 2010-2014, there were 1,541 reported collisions involving cyclists with 1,290 injuries and 16 fatalities. During the same time period, there were 3,186 reported collisions due to red light running, resulting in 1,478 injuries and two deaths. Sustaining the Local Butterfly and Bee Population The decline of the monarch butterfly population has been noted by scientists. Female monarch butterflies lay their eggs solely on milkweed and monarch caterpillars feed exclusively on it. The monarch butterfly is otherwise known as the “milkweed butterfly.” Milkweed provides the nourishment required for the change from caterpillar to butterfly. It is disappearing due to the loss of habitat stemming from land development and the wide spread use of weed killer. Local residents can help by planting milkweed. It’s easy to plant and there are many varieties that can thrive in full sun, dry or humid conditions. A hearty perennial, milkweed can withstand harsh conditions to come back year after year. Bee populations require three simple items from nature to sustain their population: Nectar, which contains sugar, is their source of energy and pollen provides proteins and fats. Like every living creature, bees require water. To make a simple bee bath, place a saucer or plate at ground level surrounded by rocks. The rocks will serve as landing pads for the bees. Replenish the water frequently. Bees have good color vision and are especially attracted to the colors of blue, purple, violet, white and yellow. Residents can help to sustain bee populations by planting a variety of flowers and plants that bloom at alternate times of the year. Early season ideas include foxglove, crocus and heather. Mid season examples include chives, dahlia, sunflower, yarrow, mint or lavender and finally late season examples are aster, cornflower, goldenrod, pumpkin or squash. Summer Fun at Local Wading Pools All wading pools in the City will celebrate themed events on Fridays during the summer months. The themes are as follows: July 15, (birthdays), July 22 (super heroes), July 29 (teddy bears), August 12 (wet and wild) and August 19 (dance party). As well, each wading pool will have their own special festival day. In River Ward, the parks and dates are as follows: July 15 (Alexander Park), July 20 (Carleton Heights), August 4 (Meadowvale), August 15 (Rideauview), August 19 (Bellevue Manor) and August 24 (Raven Park).

Police services board to advertise committee meetings Melissa Murray mmurray@metroland.com

Secret police board committee meetings will now be advertised online with a list of topics and identified as public, following a vote by the Ottawa police services board on June 27. But the board failed to go one step further, getting rid of them completely and having the discussions at the already open and advertised monthly board meetings. Coun. Jan Harder, who sits on the board, asked members if they had considered completely abandoning the working groups and

having those discussions at the board meetings. “I think that’s something that should have been considered,” Harder said at the meeting. “How did we get here so quickly?” She suggested getting rid of the separate committees would bring more people out to the police board meetings because there would be more discussion, more information available for attendees and less rubber-stamping. She brought forward a motion asking for the working groups or committees to be disbanded. Coun. Tim Tierny said presenters could be limited to the number

of slides at regular board meetings to allow for more discussion, so everything gets done at the table. But, board member Sandy Smallwood said staff find the committees helpful and they provide the arena for a more fulsome discussion between the chief of police, his staff and board members. Board member Suzanne Valiquet agreed. “It’s important we separate the meetings and have the opportunity to engage with staff,” she said. Harder’s motion failed in a vote of 4-2 with only Harder and Tierny in favour. The committees are comprised

of three board members, as a result no decisions can be made at that level. According to a board report, the committees – complaints, finance and audit, human resources and policy and governance – met a total of eight times last year. The board surveyed other jurisdictions to determine how they handled committee meetings and found that of 34 boards that responded 22 have committees. Eight of 20 respondents make their meetings open to the public and six keep detailed minutes. The board approved the advertisement of the date, time and

location of the meetings on the board’s website. A list of topics to be discussed will be provided, excluding closed-session items and committee chairs will provide updates at regular board meetings. A copy of the minutes with information about the essence of the subject, the outcome and a summary of the rationale for the outcome will also be provided. The board report reads, “the committee members agreed it is very important that the public see that civilian oversight is happening.” “I think this is a good step,” said board chair Eli El-Chantiry during the meeting, adding he was sending a letter to police boards across the province to consider making similar changes. “We know meetings across the province are moving towards a more transparent and accountable model,” El-Chantiry said following the meeting. “We thought why don’t we take the highest of the high road.” The committee will come back to the board this fall with recommendations about committee structures and mandates.

Latest fad in lawn care

other stood at the kitchen door looking out onto the

yard. She refused to call it a lawn. A lawn had nicely mowed grass. This lawn had tufts of grass growing every which way, because the only means of cutting it was with the scythe, and that only happened when Father had a lull in the everyday chores around the farm. Which wasn’t very often. It would take every last cent out of her egg money in the sugar bowl, but Mother was determined she was going to buy one of those new lawn mowers she saw in Scott’s Hardware ad in the Renfrew Mercury. Three dollars was a princely sum, and it would take a long time to build it up again, but it would be worth it. Mother dumped out the sugar bowl on the kitchen table, and had a few coppers

over the three dollars needed to buy the lawn mower. I was so excited, especially since Mother said I could go into Renfrew with her to get it. We would be taking the old Model T instead of the horse and buggy, and Mother said as soon as she got home with it, Everett would be put to work. So off we went, against Father’s wishes, of course, as he could see nothing wrong with the way the grass had been cut on the farm for more than 100 years! When we got to the hardware store, there it was in the window. I had never seen anything like it. It had two small wheels and what looked like a cage holding twisted blades inside. Mr. Scott explained that when the thing was pushed through the grass, the blades, (“sharp as a razor,” he said) cut the grass as neat as you please. He loaded it into the back seat of the Model T after Mother handed over

the money, and we didn’t even stop to do any Saturday shopping, but tore out of town to get home as fast as we could to get Everett started on giving the grass in the yard its first proper cut in its history! Father was nowhere to be seen when we pulled into the yard, but my three brothers and sister were all lined up like soldiers waiting to see this new fangled contraption. Everett, being the oldest, was given the privilege of being the first to use the new lawn mower. It was hard slugging, since the yard looked like a hayfield, but Everett was told it was important to cut in straight lines, and so tried his best to do as he was told. He managed to cut a swath right down the middle from the pump to the back stoop. Emerson was getting red in the face from yelling it was his turn, and grabbed the handle of the mower, pushing Everett out of his way. It looked like Everett wasn’t unhappy to

give up the job, with the sweat pouring off his face. Mother stood at the back step yelling orders, and when it was Earl’s turn, the whole back yard sure didn’t look like it did when the grass was cut with the scythe! I was pretty sure I could see Father’s face in the window of the cow byre. Finally, the whole yard was done. It was less than perfect, with tufts of grass still standing where the lawn mower had missed. The new lawn mower was rolled into the drive shed, and Mother had made lemonade, and we all sat at the back stoop looking over the newly mowed lawn. Father emerged from the

Crumbling Somerset House could be expropriated Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

The local councillor is calling on the city to expropriate Somerset House before the building – at the busy intersection of Somerset and Banks streets – is lost forever. Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney said the city can’t rely on the owner, Tony Shahrasebi of TKS Holdings Inc., to make good on promises to preserve the property. The city’s built heritage sub-committee approved demolition of three of the easternmost bays on the wall along Somerset Street on July 11. The fourth bay is in rough shape, but a motion by committee member Barry Padolsky aims at getting the owner to fix it up using “historic fabrics” within two years. Shahrasebi has battled with the city for years over the fate of the property – including paying $650,000 after a portion of the struc-

ture collapsed in 2007. The city has also been waiving encroachment fees, but Mayor Jim Watson asked the city’s finance and economic development committee to stop that practice in 2014 in an effort to force the owner to fix up the building – both because of its heritage value and the danger posed to pedestrians. Shahrasebi was supposed to protect the brick from water damage and monitor the building, but the condition worsened, the committee heard from staff. “In all my years of involvement with heritage, this is one of the biggest mess ups I have ever seen,” committee member Sandy Smallwood said. Smallwood went on to question who dropped the ball, since the building was supposed to be monitored. “Somebody screwed up here,” he said. Maurice Quinn, with Capacity Engineering Ltd., spoke on

behalf of the owner. Quinn said it would be tough for anyone without the technical skill to know what was happening from the outside. “Brick absorbs water, so you can’t cover it with a tarp,” he said. “That first winter is where you start to get into trouble.” Quinn add that the brick is literally crumbling in places. Coun. Tobi Nussbaum, who chairs the sub committee, said he’s interested in looking to see what the city can do to petition the province for more power under the Ontario Heritage Act. Many members of the committee expressed frustration with the situation, given the city passed property standards bylaw in 2013 that was meant to prevent demolition by neglect. “There’s a collective hand-wringing because of what seems to be a clear violation of the demolition by neglect bylaw,” Nussbaum said.

Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney calls for expropriation of Somerset House. David Jeanes, president of Heritage Ottawa, said the city has reached the “line in the sand.” “The only applications here are for demolition,” he said. “It’s the first step towards losing the entire building.”

The city hasn’t expropriated a building over heritage concerns since the 1980s, but Nussbaum said it’s an option he’s also willing to look into. Smallwood was also in favour of expropriation. “If we don’t take the

drastic act of expropriation we can’t be assured the owner will do anything,” Smallwood said. The demolition application was fast-tracked and will to be heard by the city’s planning committee on July 12 and council on July 13.

NCC board approves redesign for Ottawa’s union station SENIORS

Michelle Nash Baker michelle.nash@metroland.com

After years of being offlimits or having extremely limited access, the Government Conference Centre will once again be open to the public in 2018. The National Capital Commission’s board of directors voted in favour of a final redesign for the building located at 2 Rideau St. at its monthly meeting on June 28. The renovations and upgrades will at first house the Senate of Canada in 2018, when the Red Chamber’s current home in the Centre Block of Parliament Hill undergoes upgrading and reconstruction. The Senate would remain there for 10 years, at which point the building would then be repurposed as a conference centre. Lead design architect Christopher Hoyt presented the plans to the NCC board. Likening the building to New York’s famous Penn Station, Hoyt said the build-

ing was absolutely stunning inside and the goal remains to reveal and celebrate the building’s original BeauxArts design. The public will gain access to the building in the form of guided tours. Once it reopens, Hoyt explained the plan is for security screening taking place on Rideau Street, before entering. No definitive plans have been made, but Hoyt said there is the possibility of a boat tours booth to be converted into the outdoor screening process. The other option is for another pavilion to be built to handle pre-registration and screening before entering the building, where a second screening would take place at a newly built security post. Senators will access the chamber from the south entrance, by either private cars or a shuttle bus. New committee rooms will be located off the main hallway, updates include offering universal access as well as a new stairwell at one

end of the building and the original marble floor will be restored. The Senate chamber will be similar to current chamber. An east façade will be constructed, which Hoyt called an elegant new addition to the capital. Plans to redo the Rideau/ Sussex node at the corner of the property is still under discussion, and is something Hoyt said would be a collaboration effort with the city, adding he would like to see a public space that enables rather than hinders – referencing the current dingy, below grade space, which connects pedestrians to the Rideau Centre. According to the public works department’s website, the Government Conference Centre was first opened by the Grand Trunk Railway in 1912 as Ottawa’s central train station, Union Station, and was designed in the Beaux-Arts style by New York-based architect Bradford Lee Gilbert before be-

The National Capital Commission approved the renovation design for the Government Conference Centre, located at 2 Rideau St. at its board meeting on June 28. ing taken over by a Montreal firm, Ross and MacFarlane, which also designed the Chateau Laurier across the street and Toronto’s Union Station. The train station remained in operation for both Canadian National Railways and Canadian Pacific Railway until 1966. The building was designated a heritage building in 1989.

Before approving the redesign, the board was interested in the longer-term use of the building, once the Senate moves back to the original Red Chamber. Hoyt explained that the aim is that the conversion will be easy, with committee rooms capable of being removed if necessary, but added that event conference centres do tend to have the

need for smaller rooms be available for use. “New components can be removed without damage to the heritage building,” Hoyt said, adding that the addition of a loading dock and elevators will greatly improve the functionality of the building. “I can see them easily be a component of a conference centre, but it is hard to predict 15 years down the road.”

Please know that citizens are not protected from litigation if they cause damage to enter a car, even if it is to rescue a dog in distress. MEET MR. PEABODY (ID# A190960)

Helping Dogs in Hot Cars As the weather warms, the number of calls the Ottawa Humane Society receives about dogs in hot cars soars. What should you do if you spot a dog locked in a hot car? Just remember T.A.N. There are three steps: 1. Take information. Note the make and model of the car, the license number, exact location, and a description of the dog: breed, colour, size. etc. Remember that windows cracked open do not significantly reduce the internal temperature of a car. 2. Assess the situation. How long have you been present while the dog has been in the car? Is the dog in distress? Signs of heat distress include excessive panting with the tongue fully extended, stumbling, glazed eyes, disorientation, hiding in the footwell, and ultimately, coma and death.

And of course, don’t be a part of the problem. Don’t leave your pet in a hot car. Pet of the Week: Mr. Peabody (ID# A190960) Meet Mr. Peabody, a friendly and easy going kitty looking for his new best friend. Mr. Peabody is a relaxed boy who loves to spend time with his human friends — he will even sleep in bed with you at night.He would love a quiet new home where he can get lots of love and affection. Does Mr. Peabody sound like the cat for you? For more information on Mr. Peabody and all the adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd Check out our website at www.ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly! To learn more about adopting an animal from the Ottawa Humane Society please contact us:

Ottawa West News - Thursday, July 14, 2016

Free Right Bikes cycles into Vanier Michelle Nash Baker michelle.nash@metroland.com

A new free bike-sharing program has rolled into Vanier this month. Partnering with Right Bike, the Healthy Transportation Coalition set up a new bike rack at 355 Montreal Rd., in front of the Vanier Pharmacy. The idea is Right Bike will offer free daily bike rentals to the neighbourhood. The coalition’s Trevor Hache said the idea was to remove barriers and get people who need to, moving, but may not have the money that comes along with renting a bike or buying one. “Other bike-sharing hubs, in other parts of the world don’t require a credit card, because that is a boundary,” Hache said. “So for this, people don’t have to have a credit card, they just have to become a member of the

healthy transportation coalition, go in the pharmacy, bring a piece of recognized ID. We are really happy to try and make the bike sharing accessible as possible.” Completely free to use, interested cyclists do need to bring their ID, and their own helmets to the Vanier Pharmacy to receive a key for one of the locked bikes out front of the store. In addition to regular bicycles with baskets, there is one cargo bike available that can fit a large amount of groceries, four children or any tired companions. “It’s unique, and it can accommodate a lot,” Hache said. Started in 2015, the partnership first resulted in two locations, one in Bayshore at the Shoppers Drug Mart at 3080 Carling Ave. and one in Herongate, located at the Alta Vista Ottawa Public Library branch. The

Herongate location has since closed, as the partnership with the library ended. Hache said they constantly look for partnerships in areas that could benefit from free bike sharing. “We are always looking for partners,” Hache said. “We need another business or organization to make it

work.” The new bike-sharing operation at the Vanier Pharmacy will cost the coalition $6,400 a year for each location. Each cargo bike costs $2,000 and the remaining budget covers maintenance, setup and storage for the bikes. All the bikes will be maintained by Right Bike, an organization operating out of the Causeway Work Centre – a not-for-profit agency in Ottawa’s west end.

Hache said the coalition applied for a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation in 2014 and received a four-year, $297,500 grant to fund healthy transportation initiatives. For more information about the organization and its programs and initiatives, visit healthytransportation.ca.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

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, even if feel like you’re running yourself ragged, all of your hard work will pay off in due time. Just be sure to avoid falling victim to exhaustion; scale back if necessary. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, bide your time until you find the right moment to express your true feelings. You don’t want to come across as premature, and patience can help you fine-tune your thoughts. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 It seems like you cannot move beyond the preparation stage of a new project, Gemini. Make an effort to narrow down your choices so things can start moving forward. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, overcome any lingering doubt by examining your thought process on past successes. Trust your gut instincts, and you probably will not go wrong this week. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, speak up if demands on your time have become unmanageable. Your loved ones will understand if you need to slow things down and take a breather. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, evaluate all of your choices when a significant project is entrusted to you. There’s a reason you have been given this responsibility, so don’t be too hasty.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you may need to be more efficient with daily tasks. Dilly-dallying won’t get the job done, so make a concerted effort to improve your focus and avoid distraction. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, now is not the time to worry about what others think. Your willingness to choose the road less traveled has helped you get where you are and will continue to do so in the future. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, maintain your focus no matter how challenging that proves this week. You have some tasks to complete, and they will only grow more difficult if you lack focus. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you do not have the time to cater to every person’s whim this week. Let others know you want to help but need some time before you can offer any assistance. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, take a few days off, even if responsibilities are calling. Sometimes you need to reorganize your priorities, and some time off can help you do just that. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, the week ahead is full of opportunity. Expect some extra work to come your way and make the most of this chance to shine. 0714
