Mechanicsville homes added to heritage register Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
The city is adding seven properties in Mechanicsville to its heritage register to help protect the disappearing character of the traditionally working class neighbourhood. The community that straddles Scott Street in Kitchissippi Ward is witnessing rapid redevelopment; low-rise infill seems to be going up on nearly every street, and several condo projects are in the works to take
advantage of what will be a major transit hub at Tunney’s Pasture once the light rail system opens in 2018. With that in mind, heritage planners identified seven properties they feel deserve added protection. Most of them are on Carruthers Avenue, north of Scott: 50, 86, 91, 93, 121 and 129 Carruthers have all been identified as having heritage value. Also on the list are 11 Hilda St. and 179 Hinchey Ave.

Capital Proud Thousands line the streets of Centretown on Aug. 23 to watch the 30th annual Capital Pride Parade, which capped off the city’s Capital Pride Week. Organized by the resurrected Capital Pride, which bounced back from bankruptcy earlier this year, the parade returned to the historical epicentre of the city’s LGBTQ community – the gay village on Bank Street. The day saw dozens of colourful floats and hundreds of participants, including these sky-high stilt walkers.

“They’re some of the earlier buildings in the neighbourhood, and it’s a neighbourhood that’s changing so the city felt it was important to flag some of the more architecturally and historically relevant buildings to the area,” said heritage planner Lesley Collins. Most of the buildings are singlefamily homes, and Collins said they represent the evolution of the historically working class neighbourhood over the past century. “Mechanicsville has always been a residential area associated with the light industrial uses around Bayview,” she said. “These houses represent that history. Some of them are large, some are small. There’s a bit of a variety there. They speak to that incremental development of the neighbourhood.” The properties were first identified as having heritage significance during the creation of the Scott Street community design plan, which was approved by city council in 2014. Under the Ontario Heritage Act, council must now approve the addition of these buildings to the heritage register. This wouldn’t give them full
heritage designation; rather, it puts the building’s heritage value on the record and requires a property owner to give the city 60 days notice before a demolition permit is issued so planners can decide if the building should be formally designated at that time. If that’s not necessary, planners can also use those 60 days to work with the developer to incorporate the structure into their plans, rather than demolishing it outright, Collins said. An eighth property was also included in the Scott Street CDP for addition to the register – 12 Stirling – but since then most of its heritage attributes have been removed by the developer, who is hoping to turn the old school and former Odawa Friendship Centre into a condo tower. Collins said the structure will still be incorporated into the development, which fronts onto Scott Street, but there’s little of heritage value left. The additions to the list were approved at the built heritage subcommittee on Aug. 13 and were expected to pass at planning committee on Aug. 25 as well. City council will have to give final approval.

Motorcyclist seriously injured in crash Steph Willems
Steph.willems@metroland.com
A 29-year-old man was seriously injured in a motorcycle crash near the intersection of Carling and Kirkwood avenues
on the evening of Aug. 17. Ottawa paramedics received a call at 9:34 p.m. after the man reportedly lost control of his motorcycle and was thrown more than 13 metres, sustaining a serious head injury and facial lacera-
tions. A police investigation was launched due to the involvement of another vehicle in the accident. “The motorcycle was travelling eastbound on Kirkwood and struck a vehicle that was stopped

One in four Canadian families cares for someone with a disability, but rarely do their daily efforts get recognized. The Canada Cares campaign aims to change that, offering the opportunity for caregivers to be nominated for an award or cash prize. A program of the Canadian Abilities Foundation, Canada Cares has implemented the campaign for the past three years. Until Sept. 18, residents are
asked to nominate a friend, family member or professional caregiver, explaining what the caregiver could do with the top prize of $10,000. For Caroline Tapp-McDougall, chair of Canada Cares, the experience of caring for her own mother opened her eyes to what caregivers go through. “My mom was stroke disabled, and I cared for her for 12 years,” she said, adding that her father suffered from ALS at the time. “No one was saying ‘Thank you,’ or recognizing that

munity Award will also be handed out. Tapp-McDougall said that the need for caregivers is rising as the country’s population ages, and it’s important for those individuals to know they’re part of a community. “Caregivers often feel alone,” she said. “One thing this does is make them part of a team, outside of just their own family,” Tapp-McDougall said that if caregivers feel that their contribution is broadly recognized, it will help them in their task. Information and application forms for the contest can be found at www.canadacares.org.

huge contribution. Caregivers can be anyone – young parents with a disabled child or someone with an older parent. We’re trying to shed light, joyfully, on the role of the caregiver.” Canada Cares will present 10 awards at the Home Care Conference in Ottawa in November – five for family and friends, and another five for professional caregivers. The contest spans the country, with winners selected from four regions. One will receive the $10,000 Canada Cares One Wish Award, which is sponsored by CBI group.

Promote self-confidence in children through sports and martial arts Playing individual and team sports is a great way to help children develop social
skills and raise self-esteem. The City’s Fall and Winter Recreation eGuide offers a wide selection of classes that provide these benefits, as well as building upon life skills. For some, the journey to higher self esteem begins and ends with martial arts. You can register for a variety of martial arts classes from the more familiar practices of Karate and Judo, to the lesser known ones such as Kendo, Capoeira and Aikido Yoseikan. In addition to building confidence, martial arts are known to promote physical fitness, discipline, respect and self control. Participating in sports and exercise can create a supportive environment that acknowledges a child’s skill development and provides positive social relationships with teammates and coaches. Consider ball hockey, basketball or the Saturday morning Sports Club for a unique team experience. You are never too young to start learning these skills. Children three and four years old can develop athletic ability and improve confidence through sport and games in a sportball class. The program introduces basic skills such as balance, large muscle development and body awareness. There is also a variety of sports options for adults and children alike offered through City-wide Sports. Physical activity programs promote fun, friendship, skill development, confidence building and fair play values while learning to play in a team setting.
More than sports
Not into the sports scene but still want to move? Children can also expand their creative scope and gain confidence in their abilities through jazz dance; or improve balance, coordination and self-esteem through Irish dancing. How about cheerleading for a different kind of team activity?
Fall classes start soon!

Young professionals under the age of 45 will take centre stage at the Jewish Federation of Ottawa’s annual campaign launch on Sept. 9, giving a voice to the emerging leaders of tomorrow. Organizers of the campaign wanted to bring a younger voice to the event, partnering with the JFO-affiliated BenGurion Society (a JFO donor recognition program and under-45 networking forum) to create an evening modelled after the popular “TED Talks” format. The event – FED Talks – will feature the theme of L’dor v’dor (From generation to generation) and will stay in line with BGS’s mandate of community leadership and philanthropy. Guest speakers at the event include Marc Kielberger, co-
founder of Me to We, and Free the Children, blogger Allison Josephs and Ottawa-born comedian Jon Steinberg. Organizers hope the stories shared by the speakers en-

courage audience members to become more engaged outside their homes and workplaces, whether it’s in the Jewish community or the broader Ottawa community. “We’re trying to emphasize that we, the next generation,
are trying to flex our leadership muscles, but we want to ensure we’re doing it in a respectful manner,” said campaign launch co-chair Tamara Fathi, who will be joined on stage by Dr. Stacy Goldstein during the event. Fathi said that previous years featured a single keynote speaker, which compelled them to shake up the format by offering three varied but impactful voices. “It should be a good evening – driving home our messaging while still being enjoyable,” Fathi said. “It’s so important to be respectful to those who came before you. We want to empower the next generation while embracing the previous one.” The JFO’s campaign launch will take place on Sept. 9 at Centrepointe Theatre, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at centrepointe theatre.com.

It’s not uncommon for political candidates to receive endorsements from past representatives from within their own party. But in Ottawa West-Nepean, Liberal candidate Anita Vandenbeld is being backed by two former Progressive Conservatives. Vandenbeld was welcomed onto the lawn of former PC MP David Daubney on Aug. 20 to place one of her red Liberal signs where blue Tory signs have stood during many past elections. Daubney said it was an emotional decision to place the sign on his lawn – located in the Carlingwood area – but said he can’t bring himself to back the

Daubney was joined by Moe Royer, former national vicepresident of the Progressive Conservative party, to plant the Vandenbeld lawn sign, further indication that former PCs may be feeling less connection with current Conservatives since the Reform-PC merger. “Voters know the Harper government is quite different from the governments led by Brian Mulroney and Joe Clark,” Daubney said. Daubney served as co-ordinator of the sentencing reform team at the Department of Justice prior to retirement, and said Harper’s “mean spirited nature” helped him decide to back the local Liberal candidate. “We couldn’t get this (Conservative) government to give

You have to look at alternatives when they are cheaper and they work.” Vandenbeld was clearly pleased to receive the backing of both Royer and Daubney. “For so many Canadians, Stephen Harper’s government doesn’t reflect their values,” Vandenbeld said. The other candidates registered in Ottawa West-Nepean as of press time were Abdul Abi (Conservative) and Rod Taylor (Christian Heritage). The federal election is scheduled for Oct. 19. *

Slow Down for Us-Lawn Signs Residents who live in school zones or on streets with a fair number of children are encouraged to contact my office to have a Slow Down for Us lawn sign erected on your front grass. With school about to reconvene, the signs are part of a city-wide campaign to remind all motorists to slow down and keep a watchful eye on our youngest residents. The speed of traffic on our local, residential streets continues to be a main concern for me. Please respect posted speed limits and help keep our community safe. Clean-up the Capital Campaign The autumn Clean-Up the Capital Campaign will run from September 15 to October 15, with the big focus being on the weekend of September 25-27. This is a great opportunity for community groups, girl guides, scouts, church groups and others to come together and do our part to keep River Ward clean and green. Participants can register their cleanup projects by calling 3-1-1 or by using the easy online registration form available at ottawa.ca/clean or ottawa.ca/ menage. River Ward Taxes I recently analysed a set of tax data that showed that River Ward’s residential, commercial and retail owners paid a combined $62.4 million in property taxes to the City of Ottawa in 2015. River Ward is ninth on the list for most taxes paid out of 23 city wards. Somerset ward pays the most, as this ward includes the downtown core and West CarletonMarch pays the least, due to its low population and farmland. A city-wide total of $1.4 billion was collected in taxes in 2015, approximately half of the City’s $3 billion budget. The other main revenue sources are payments from other levels of government to cover costs associated with running various programs, ie social assistance, community housing, public health etc. Visits to Local Businesses I have spent a great deal of time this summer visiting all of the local businesses in the Carlington, Central Park and Carleton Heights neighbourhoods and this has provided me a wealth of information about issues affecting our local shops. Local businesses provide local jobs, local services to you and help provide a balance that makes our neighbourhoods such great places to live in. Ottawa Police Ride-Along On August 21, from 5:30pm to 1:30am, I partnered with the community police officer assigned to the west division and joined him for 8 hours in his patrol car as we responded to various calls in the west end of town. This experience gave me a better perspective and understanding of the issues facing our police officers as well as the system as a whole. I am currently in the planning stages of hosting a community safety night in October, which will be in the Carlington community. As the details become further refined, I will provide an update and invite to the community. R0013429486.0827

Ottawa West News - Thursday, August 27, 2015
Parents of high school students are no doubt welcoming the news of a tentative agreement forged between the province and the union representing public secondary school teachers. On Aug. 20, the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation released details of a contract agreement to its members, just days after returning to the table at the request of Premier Kathleen Wynne. Details were then leaked to media outlets. Bargaining talks between
the OSSTF, province and Public School Boards’ Association broke off earlier this summer, with the impasse leaving many in fear of a fall strike. Under the contract, which still has to be voted on by members, teachers would see a one per cent lump sum payment this year, followed by a one per cent salary bump next year, and a half a per cent the year after. Sick leave and benefits would also be boosted, and an extra PA day would be added to the school year. The union had earlier claimed that the labour strife wasn’t related to salaries - rather,
it was taking action to ensure the autonomy of teachers within the school board environment. The OSSTF said the increase would be paid for with savings found elsewhere in the education budget, as required under the province’s ‘net zero’ bargaining stance. The ratification process was expected to begin soon. News of the tentative agreement was welcomed by the Ottawa Carleton District School Board, whose full-time and occasional teachers are represented by the OSSTF. “This is excellent news for secondary students and their

families and for our staff,” said Shirley Seward, chair of the board. “Although we have not seen the details, I am hopeful that this will lay the foundation for fair and fully funded negotiated agreements with our other labour partners, provincially and locally”. On Aug. 25, the Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association (OECTA) announced it would be suspending its workto-rule campaign after reaching a tentative agreement. No details were released about the agreement, though Ontario Education Minister Liz Sandals said it was a net-zero deal.

If you started your summer with the Great Glebe Garage Sale, why not end it searching for treasure one neighbourhood north? The Super Centretown Garage Sale, now in its third year, will attract residents to driveways across the downtown core on Saturday, Sept. 12. While not as big as its better-known counterpart on the other side of the Queensway, the Centretown sale is a growing event that organizers hope will attract more than 100 vendors this year.
“We have the intention of making it a tradition,” said Wynn Wong, the event’s principal organizer. “I’ve been told that if you do it for five years, people will know about it.” Wong is involved on the board of the Centretown Community Health Centre, and is asking vendors to voluntarily donate some of their windfall to the centre, which provides a host of services to vulnerable residents. A small group of volunteers from the centre assist him in the planning of the sale. Because the only rules for the sale are for vendors to live within the geographic limits
and stay off city sidewalks, it makes it easy to take part. “Basically, the limits are Laurier Avenue, the Queensway, Bronson Avenue and Queen Elizabeth Drive,” said Wong. “In future years, if one area is especially hopping, we could make the area larger or smaller.” Other events taking place at the same time could be incorporated into the event in the future, he added. Information related to the garage sale can be found at www.supercentretown.com, including tips to vendors and buyers, and advice on how to win the Weirdest Thing Contest.

Beach closure policy is silly
O
ttawa Mayor Jim Watson never fails to tout how fiscally prudent his administration is and how under his watch the city’s budgeting process is squeezed so tight that the purse strings on the city’s collective wallet squeak when you try to tug at them. Watson says it is all about priorities, and he says it over and over again. In general, being stingy about spending public funds is an admirable quality that is indeed the prudent way to go, but there are times when being tight with a public buck can be downright silly. In a city that has a short summer, closing Ottawa’s beaches in the middle of August is being penny-wise but pound foolish. It is being silly with a capital “S”. Ask anyone in the city when the summer season is and they will tell you that it starts at the end of the school year and continues until the Labour Day weekend. That is an eastern Canadian summer. Always has been, always will be. And yet the City of Ottawa’s summer beach season starts in late June but ends on the third Sunday of August. It seems to be an arbitrary end date chosen more with an eye on how to save money on the cost of staff, lifeguards and public health water safety testing, rather than for any common sense
reason that has to do with what residents of the city would consider our summer season. Which is why the closing of the city’s beaches on Aug. 16 this year, just as the city started to get all hot and bothered by a week-long heat wave, has rightly been mocked as being a ridiculous situation. That is why Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans, chairwoman of the community and protective services committee, is asking city staff to take another look at the official beach season to see if it can be extended or changed to better align with Ottawa’s summer weather. There are those at the city who say this is the way it has been for years, that the last few weeks of August are traditionally cooler than earlier in the summer, that French schools return to class before the end of August, etc., etc. And anyway, this is what fits our budget. The simple reply to all that is, so what? Just because it has been this way for years doesn’t mean it is the right way to do something. Summer in Ottawa is short enough as it is. There is no valid reason why we should continue to allow the powers that be at city hall shorten our summers even more by officially closing our beaches before what we all know to be our summer season is actually over.
Fall blight taking hold
T
his week you can look around and see election signs beginning to sprout on people’s lawns, giant cardboard flowers in blue, red, orange and green. You might feel one way about that or you might feel the other. The odd thing about the sudden flowering of election signs on private property that began last week, was that the federal election was already more than two weeks old when the signs first began appearing. That’s because there are Ottawa municipal regulations that somehow supersede whatever is going on federally. Ottawa’s rules state that election campaign signs cannot be on private property until 60 days before the election. This wasn’t much of an issue in

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town recent years: campaigns have been much shorter than 60 days — as little as 37. And, to be fair, it hasn’t been much of an issue this year. Those candidates who have spoken about it seem relieved that they didn’t have to deal with signs for a couple of weeks. They were spared some expense and their workers could concentrate on other things. Some people not involved in politics were downright happy about the delay.

blight. Any postponement of their appearance was just fine. You can understand that point of view but there’s another way of looking at it. Election signs can be unsightly. They can make the city look messy. But who says everything in life has to be tidy? Ever been to a carnival or a picnic? In a way what we see is a metaphor for our system of government. Democracy can be unsightly. It’s certainly messy. And, like the garden of election signs, democracy is colourful, but not always in the most tasteful of ways. It’s a good guess that no one at city hall had a 78-day campaign like ours in mind when the 60-day rule was put in place. So there shouldn’t, in a reasonable world, be any objection to changing the rules to get rid of the restriction. In a reasonable world, city governments shouldn’t be able to tell the federal government how a DISTRIBUTION INQUIRIES Traci Cameron 613-221-6223 ADMINISTRATION: Donna Therien 613-221-6233 DISplAy ADvERTISINg: Gisele Godin - Kanata - 221-6214 Dave Pennett - Ottawa West - 221-6209 Cindy Gilbert - Ottawa South - 221-6211 Carly McGhie - Ottawa East - 221-6154 Geoff Hamilton - Home Builders Accounts Specialist - 221-6215 Valerie Rochon - Barrhaven - 221-6227 Jill Martin - Nepean - 221-6221 Mike Stoodley - Stittsville - 221-6231 Janine Kivell - Ottawa West - 221-6217 Rico Corsi - Automotive Consultant - 221-6224

federal election campaign can be waged. The new bylaw could just prohibit election signs on private property until the election is called. Then people who consider signs distasteful will simply have put up with them a bit longer. And people who consider it their democratic right to support their candidate by putting a sign on their lawns will have the right to do so for as long as the election lasts. The local rules also prohibit signs on public property, such as road allowances, until 30 days before the election date. That needn’t change. Obviously, the city is well within its rights there, especially given the necessity of making sure that signs do not interfere with visibility. But it’s difficult to see what harm a lawn sign can do. To some of us, it’s fun to watch the duels develop on our street. And it’s encouraging to see the level of interest in

W
alking has been shown to improve mental health, aid in healthy weight loss and improve circulation. It can stimulate creativity, remove aches and pains from your consciousness and generally change your mood. Walking outdoors increases the likelihood of socialization, which is integral to health and happiness. U.S. researchers recently announced that walking briskly for just 11 minutes per day can help reduce belly fat, which is linked to heart problems, diabetes and other ailments. People who own dogs
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse are generally shown to have better health outcomes than non dog-owners, which most research chalks up to the regular walks that must be taken. People who walk to run errands or commute by foot
to work are less likely to be overweight. Kids who take the pedestrian route to school have been shown to be slimmer, have better attention spans and improved grades. It’s clear that walking may be a magic bullet for health.
As we’ve given way to sedentary jobs, long commutes and laid back pastimes involving screens, however, walking seems to be going the way of the dodo bird. But it may be time to pick up the pace. It turns out walking – especially walking quickly – could be the best thing you can do for your health. A study published in British Medical Journal, The Lancet, found that walking pace is a greater predictor of life expectancy than other lifestyle habits such as smoking and blood pressure. Researchers developed a scorecard of factors that predicted an individual’s risk

of dying within five years. Between 2006 and 2010, they studied half a million British adults between 40 and 70 years old, rating them on a variety of factors. “Self-reported information, such as usual walking pace and illness and injuries in the past two years, is generally a stronger predictor of death and survival than biological measurements, such as pulse rate and blood pressure,” reported website EurekAlert. “Surprisingly, self-reported walking pace is a stronger predictor of death risk in both men and women than smoking habits and other lifestyle measurements.”
For participants who’d received a cancer diagnosis, self-reporting was also highly indicative of death and survival, the authors noted. The test was developed by Swedish researchers Prof. Erik Ingelsson and Dr. Andrea Ganna, from the Karolinska Institute. The researchers compared questionnaire answers from participants to health information in the UKBiobank. An online questionnaire called the Ubble Risk Calculator (www.ubble.co.uk) makes it accessible to people around the world. See CUT, page 10

Cut the risk with a walk
Parade of colour Mural artists Labrona, left, and Drew Mosley unveil their larger-thanlife mural creation along the Bank Street underpass in the Glebe on Aug. 21. The mural features people and animals marching together in a festive parade toward the downtown core. Mosley said the animals represent Ottawa’s unique connection to the natural world. The mural was developed as part of a city-province partnership to liven up the otherwise dreary infrastructure, which can be dark and unwelcoming. Another mural was recently completed on Carling Avenue.
Continued from page 9
One simply answers 11 to 13 health-related questions, depending on gender, and gets an age result based on general census statistics of adults in the UK. For example, you may be told that you have as much chance of dying within the next five years as a 35-year-old British woman, which is about one in 100. “This is the first study of its kind which is based on a very large study sample, and is not limited to specific populations, single types of risk, or requiring laboratory testing,” said one of the study’s co-authors. The researchers hope individuals and doctors can use the information to determine the highest risk individuals and to help middle-aged and older people make informed lifestyle choices.

City to consider extending beach season

www.shirleyseward.com 613-851-4716 Public Education Benefits Us All As I write this article (on August 20), a tentative central agreement has just been reached between the secondary teachers union -OSSTF-and the Ontario Public School Boards Association (OPSBA) and provincial government. The details of the tentative agreement are confidential until it has been ratified by all parties, a process that will begin over the next few days. This is excellent news for secondary students and their families and for our teachers and other staff. I am so pleased that our school board representative, OPSBA, has been able to make such important progress with the secondary teachers’ union prior to the start of the school year. Although we have not seen the details, I am hopeful that this will lay the foundation for fair and fully funded negotiated agreements with all our labour partners, provincially and locally.
With near-record temperatures keeping Ottawa in a sweaty haze in mid-August, it seemed silly that the city’s official beach season ended Aug. 16 with two weeks left before school starts and plenty of warm weather in the forecast. That’s why Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans, chairwoman of the community and protective services committee, asked city staff to take another look at the official beach season to see if it can be extended or changed to better fit Ottawa’s summer weather. Right now the city’s beaches, including the popular Mooney’s Bay and Petrie Island destina-
tions, open the third Saturday in June and close the third Sunday in August. Depending on the calendar, that could leave residents with between 58 and 65 open beach days a year. Of course, “open” is a tricky term. Anyone can swim at the beach before or after the official season, but they have to do so at their own risk – meaning there’s no lifeguard on duty. Dan Chenier, manager of parks and recreation for the city, said the open beach season hasn’t changed since the late 1990s, before amalgamation. That’s also the last time the budget for it was increased. He said most years the schedule fits the weather patterns pretty well; the last week or two of August are generally cooler
than other times in the summer. And the French elementary students go back to school a week early, cutting down on demand, while at the same time the many university students who work as city life guards start to head back to their school towns. “It’s historical and it’s fitting within that budget,” he said. But he said demand has also started to pick up outside of the regular season. Ottawa frequently sees temperatures in the high 20s as early as May, Chenier said, and the warm weather can sometimes last into the early fall. With Deans’s request, Chenier said his team will consider “all options” to see if the beach season can be tweaked or stretched to provide lifeguards
longer. That could mean weekend coverage only before and after the school break – although that could pose liability problems for the city if the messaging is confusing – or the city could consider staggered start times for some beaches to offer at least a few guarded sites earlier in the season. Chenier said it’s not impossible to make some positive changes, even if the city doesn’t pony up more cash. “It’s achievable if there’s a willingness to decide which beaches will stay open longer,” he said. Deans asked staff to report back to committee before the 2016 budget consultations get underway this fall.
Why is public education important, and how does it benefit all of us? First and foremost, we all care deeply about the education of our children and grandchildren. As students go through our schools, we work hard to make sure that children learn and grow in a caring, safe and stimulating environment. We want our students to achieve and to have a sense of well being.
R0013426280
Public education, at its best, results in a well educated, skilled and flexible workforce. For us to continue to be successful in an increasingly competitive global economy, we need a world class workforce - a workforce that can adjust and adapt to changing economic conditions, technological change and environmental pressures. Students who graduate from our public schools follow many different pathways. Some go straight into the workplace, home or community, others go to community colleges, and many go to universities to pursue a wide range of professions. The students of today become the tradespeople, service sector workers, doctors, teachers, lawyers and technologists of tomorrow. They will define our future economic and social well being. But the full benefits of public education are not realized if some students fall between the cracks. This is why the public education system must continue to place priority on providing help to our most vulnerable students students with special needs and learning disabilities, students living in poverty, recent immigrants with limited English language abilities, First Nation, Metis and Inuit students and children with mental health issues, to name a few. We cannot afford to leave some students behind. Our investment in the students of today will secure a prosperous and fair society.

Inaccurate windows approved for Bayview Yards restoration Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
The city won’t pay an extra $100,000 for historically accurate windows as it restores the 1940s industrial building known as the Bayview Yards in Kitchissippi Ward. The site at 7 Bayview Ave. is being redeveloped into an innovation centre with the help of city, provincial and private funds. The city-owned public works building is designated heritage, and is being heralded by the city as its flagship adaptive reuse project. It will preserve the building while creating a large entrepreneurial hub and incubation centre. The plan has been applauded by heritage advocates and entrepreneurs alike, but when heritage planners brought forward suggested alterations to the heritage aspects of the building, some members of the community – including Heritage Ottawa – were concerned the windows replacement plan wasn’t good enough.
The plan asks to replace almost all of the building’s prominent windows with modern panes that would have similar, but not identical, pane patterns. Instead of dividing the panes into five sections, the new windows would only be divided three times. Heritage Ottawa president David Jeanes said at the time the altered window patterns would undermine the building’s heritage value. The developer argued that the more you divide the panes, the less efficient the windows will be – undermining the project’s quest to achieve a green building certification (known as LEED gold), on the restored building. After a lengthy discussion, the heritage committee asked staff to work with the developer between then and planning committee on Aug. 25 to discuss options for installing more historically accurate windows. Heritage planner Lesley Collins then came to that meeting with two options:
replace the building’s southfacing windows with historically accurate replicas while keeping the rest of the plan the same, or replacing all of the building’s windows with historically accurate replicas. Heritage Ottawa and other concerned citizens obviously supported option two, which would most preserve the building’s heritage character and more closely reflect the heritage act’s guidelines. But the change would have come with a hefty price tag: about $100,000 extra, or 25 per cent of the city’s total contribution to the restoration. That was too much for planning committee members to swallow; even Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper, who had supported the direction to look more closely at the windows, opted in the end to support staff’s recommendation to stick with the original plan. The issue went to council for final consideration on Aug. 26, after this paper’s press deadline.
File
The large, paned windows in the heritage Bayview Yards building are part of the industrial building’s historical value. The city’s planning committee rejected a proposal to spend an extra $100,000 to install replica windows during the restoration.

Participants will be given a FREE in-office demonstration, and the opportunity to evaluate the latest, most advanced hearing aid technology for 30 days at drastically reduced rates. A refund* is available at the end of the test period if you feel your test aids do not improve your hearing. A full range of sizes are available in this new technology, including the exceptionally disscree reet open-fit and IIC models shown here:
Similar to choosing between contact lenses or glasses, you can decide with your hearing professional which hearing aid style would best suit you. Both styles have approximately the same performance and functions, but are fitted to the ear differently.
It’s almost a shame this technology isn’t more visible! Open-fit and Invisible-In-the-Canal (IIC) hearing aids are smaller and more beautiful than ever, striking the perfect balance between size and performance. The elegant and highly discreet open-fit hearing aid fits perfectly on top of your ear, and the thin tube in your ear canal is designed to disappear against your skin. The new IIC hearing aid--now with wireless technology--provides all of the outstanding features and benefits you want in a digital hearing aid, minus the stigma that came with wearing one in the past.

Meaning of patience revealed for Mary
T
hat girl has the patience of Job,” Mother said. She said it often enough of my sister Audrey, and I had no idea who Job was, that I was determined to find out what the word patience meant. If Audrey had an abundance of it, maybe I could claim to have it too, since we were sisters, and it seemed to be something of great value. And so one day, just before school was let out for the summer, I asked Miss Crosby if she would look up the word “patience” in the big black dictionary that sat on the corner of her desk. She read me the description, which had big words like “tolerance” and “endurance” in it. I was still none the wiser, and I decided Job was someone Mother knew in Renfrew, because there certainly was nobody out in Northcote by the name of Job. At any rate, my older sister Audrey had the same trait as this fellow Job. And then one day, a discussion around the supper table sent me into a panic, and I couldn’t even eat my piece of raspberry pie, which was my favourite. Audrey was finished at the Northcote School, and like so many girls from the farms around, that meant going off to Renfrew and doing housework for the rich people. I couldn’t stop the tears from rolling down my face right onto the pie in front of me. Audrey put her arm around my shoulders and told me that day was a long way off, and I wasn’t to fret about it. She was needed on the farm, she said, and that’s where she would be staying. I asked her to “promise and hope to die,” which was right up there in importance with asking God for a special favour. She again assured me she would be right at home for a long time to come. After supper, and after the kitchen had been redded up, I went out to the grape arbour and sat in the big two-seater
MARY COOK Memories swing and started to think about all the things I would miss if my beloved sister Audrey ever left me. Who would sing to me at night when we went to bed? Whose arm would reach out across the bed roll, and keep me safe when the whippoorwills sang their eerie songs when it was black as pitch outside, and I was terrified they would get in the house? And who would sit with me in the long grass and pull dandelion stems, then split them and roll them down into tight curls, and make up stories about how the women of long, long ago got the idea of curling their hair from the dandelions? And I thought of the many times Audrey and I stretched out on the grass on a summer’s day when the sky was full of soft white clouds. And we would see dogs, fierce lions, and old men’s faces, as the clouds shifted taking on new shapes as the gentle wind pushed them into different forms. And Audrey would make up stories about the things we read in the clouds, and often I would doze off, filled with a fierce love of a sister who found time to spend with a much younger sister when there were other things she would much rather be doing. It was Audrey who defied anyone at the Northcote School to pick on me; even bad Marguirite got to know what it was like to be on the receiving end of a tongue lashing if she made fun of my hand-me-down clothes or my long red ringlets. Wasn’t it Audrey who, when
I asked, would sit with me in the very swing I was in at that moment, and tell me imaginary stories of far off lands, and people who spoke in different tongues, and wore different clothes. And when I would say, “Tell me another one Audrey,” she would simply let out a long sigh and begin another story. And wasn’t it Audrey, who would take the book I had chosen from the Renfrew Library, with big words I couldn’t read, and sit with me at the kitchen table before bedtime, and read to me when I knew she would much rather be reading her own book? And wasn’t it Audrey, even knowing I had little talent, who spent hours trying to teach me how to make French knots, and daisies on the end of flour bag tea towels? And she would praise me and say how clever I was. As I sat in the swing that day, seeing in my mind’s eye, all the things my sister Audrey did for me, and the hours she spent with me, I knew then what mother meant when she said, “That girl has the patience of Job.” Audrey certainly, as far as I was concerned, had patience. Sadly, I never did find out who that guy Job was. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Watson fast tracks taxi review Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
!
The taxi industry is doing itself no favours by inconveniencing and angering the public, Mayor Jim Watson said Aug. 19, the day after he asked staff to fast track a review of the city’s taxi bylaw. Airport taxi drivers have been protesting a fee hike by its dispatcher, Coventry Connections, since Aug. 11, first with noisy demonstrations at the Ottawa airport and then, when the courts put a stop to that, with slow-rolling drives down the Airport Parkway. The protests have caused huge backups on one of the main routes into the city, and a backlash on social media. It’s the latest in a series of actions taxi drivers have taken to protect their industry as it’s been upended by increasing
HOLD ONTO YOUR BRAINS,
competition from ride connection companies like Uber. Taxi drivers argue the illegal Uber drivers can undercut their fares because they don’t have to pay for licensing or background checks in order to pick up customers. Watson said the taxi protests are causing people to miss flights, or leave loved ones stranded at the airport. Tourists are leaving the city on a bad note. And all of that is bad for business. “Certainly from a public relations standpoint, the taxi industry is not helping itself,” he said. “When they were driving 20 kilometres an hour on the Airport Parkway, it was very frustrating. I think they have to rethink their public relations strategy because quite frankly its driving people to Uber.”
THE ZOMBIES ARE BACK!
HOLD ONTO YOUR BRAINS,
Staff had been planning to review the city’s bylaw regulations by the first quarter of 2016, but amid the growing tension, Watson fast-tracked that to be done by the end of this year. The process to choose a consultant to complete the work closed in mid-August, and Watson said the successful bidder would be decided by the end of the month. But whatever comes out of the review, Watson warned he doesn’t expect to make everyone happy. “Some people want to maintain the status quo, some people want to have a full free-for-all in terms of letting anyone who wants to drive a taxi drive a taxi, and we have to come to a balance and level the playing field between the new technology and the existing industry,” he said.

A developer’s pleas for mercy were no match for the city’s planning committee, which approved a heritage designation proposal for a small, 1930s gas station at the corner of Richmond Road and Island Park Drive on Aug. 25. The “cottage-style” station, built in 1934 in the Tudor Revival-style that was popular at the time, served as a fuel stop for the growing number of motorists and as a gateway to the rural areas south of Carling Avenue. It was originally owned and operated by Pierre Elliott Trudeau’s father. 1. The St#designation 5555A 2013 CX-5 GT AWD discussion $29995. began last September when local King GX AWD 2.

Youths! Adults! Seniors! Studies needed before adaptive reuse can be explored Earn Extra Money! Continued from page 22
He called for the building to be saved amid the rapid redevelopment of Westboro and Wellington West, which he argues has eroded the community’s built heritage. But the building’s owner, mixed-use developer Main and Main, said the site hasn’t had the proper studies done to be sure an adaptive reuse – like a restaurant or coffee shop – is even possible. The site could need significant environmental remediation, for example, and might not be structurally sound enough to move to the front of the lot, which was suggested by some councillors to make better use of the largely empty lot. “Without these studies it is very hard to look at adap-
tive reuses,” said Carl Furney, who represented the developer through FoTenn Consultants. “It’s only a 900-square-foot building. We feel it’s premature at this point to designate.” But the committee sided with the city’s heritage planners, who said a site’s economic potential or state of disrepair doesn’t factor into the decision of whether it meets the Ontario Heritage Act’s cultural and heritage value criteria. Heritage planner Lesley Collins said the small gas station certainly qualifies as a heritage building, as it represents a period of great growth in the city of Ottawa. As personal vehicles began to become more widespread, as many as 150 gas stations existed in the city by the 1930s, compared to just a handful a decade before.

“It’s representative of that trend,” Collins said. The building’s style is also interesting, in that many gas stations of the time were designed to look like something else. In this case, it was made to look like an English cottage to reflect the preferred housing style along nearby Island Park. Duff Mitchell, a board member for the Island Park Drive Community Association, said the association’s 200 member households overwhelmingly support the heritage designation, which will head to council for final consideration in September. “We are only aware of one resident who is opposed, everyone else has indicated their support or they’re neutral on the issue,” Mitchell said.

Mayors push priorities as election nears Gatineau, Ottawa to host debates, briefings on local issues Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
The national capital region’s two mayors have come together for the first time to put local issues on the national agenda ahead of the federal election this fall. Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson and Gatineau Mayor Maxime PedneaudJobin announced Aug. 19 a three-point plan to make sure local federal candidates know what both cities want from the federal government. “We realize how important the federal government is to our respective cities,” Watson said. “They’re the biggest employer; they make decisions that
have a direct impact on our residents more so than most other communities in Canada.” Beginning Aug. 20, Watson will host candidate briefing sessions for the four major parties, and both mayors will each host a debate at their city halls this fall to talk about municipal issues. That could range from infrastructure challenges to transit projects and even funding affordable housing. Ottawa’s debate is scheduled for Oct. 5. The mayors will also send questionnaires to candidates on both sides of the river, with results published verbatim at the end of September. See LONG, page 27

Long-range planning crucial to region’s future: Watson Continued from page 25
“It is our hope that if we are clear about our priorities we will continue to make progress on the issues that matter most to the residents of Ottawa and Gatineau,” Watson said during a press conference outside the Museum of History in Gatineau. “We’re two cities, but we really are one region.” The list of federal issues affecting municipalities across the country is long and growing. Canada Post’s plan to end door-to-door mail delivery has made headlines across the country, and funding for the renewal of crumbling infrastructure has been a longstanding concern in virtually every Canadian city. Watson said funding programs that only accept shovelready projects is not good city planning. “Some of these major infrastructure projects take years to see the light of day because there are re-zonings, there are site plans and First Nations issues,” Watson said.
“You can’t simply rush a major project like a water works or sewer project or a light rail transit project.” Predictability when it comes to job cuts would also be helpful, Watson said, so that city planners aren’t scrambling to catch up when a major employment hub closes or moves. “When they made the decision to move jobs to the Nortel campus (in the west end) from DND (downtown), that had a direct impact on our transit planning,” Watson said. “We need fewer surprises from the federal government and more predictability on what’s going on.” NCC PLANS
Perhaps the most frustrating decision-making process that keeps Ottawa and Gatineau in the dark comes from the National Capital Commission, a Crown corporation responsible for developing and maintaining federal lands in the capital region. It’s an or-
ganization that’s unique to Ottawa-Gatineau, and in recent history has had rocky relationships with both municipal councils. Watson said it’s frustrating that Ottawa and Gatineau don’t have liaisons on the NCC’s board of directors to offer insight from a city planning perspective. The recent drama surrounding the controversial Victims of Communism memorial beside the Supreme Court downtown is a good example of the lack of consultation the city currently deals with, Watson said. “It’s a reasonable suggestion that the NCC would welcome the opportunity … to have the input of the representatives of the people on both sides of the river,” Watson said, noting the change would have to come from the federal government, not the NCC. “It would be in the interest of the NCC, the federal government and the municipalities to have better communications and liaisons.”

Watch out for good deals, but don’t feel obligated to rush around every store in town.
Add common sense to your list of supplies Lifestyle - Does just thinking about back-to-school shopping bring on a headache? Perhaps you’re not going about it the right way. Here are a few fail-safe tricks that can make the job more bearable, maybe even enjoyable! Once you have in hand your child’s list of required supplies, make an inventory of what you might already have at home. Some things are reusable, such as binders, pencil cases, and duotangs, and you might have leftovers from last fall’s backto-school purchases. This is a good way to save money and to show your children how to avoid the trap of buying things just because they’re on the shelf in front of you. Before you leave home, consult store flyers to find the best deals. Get out the calculator so that you can compare oranges with oranges and apples with apples.
In the store, try to avoid the temptation of items featuring the images of famous singers or movie stars; they are usually a lot more expensive. Buy in bulk when possible, especially such things as lined paper pads, pencils, erasers, and other items which appear every year on the lists supplied by schools. By doing this, you’ll be able to save a lot of money. Don’t wait until the last minute. If you do, you will have to join the grisly battlefields that store aisles become in the early days of September. Avoid shopping during the busy hours of the day; mornings, especially at the beginning of the week, are the perfect time to shop in peace. Don’t buy anything that isn’t on the list. Lastly, don’t feel obligated to get the best prices by rushing around to several stores. The savings won’t be worth your lost time and good humour!

My child is ready for school, but I’m not with your children. Practise taking the route to school. In other words, if you get your children used to the new routine, you will probably feel reassured as well. I the last days before school starts, and after offering all the support you can give to your children, give yourself some time to catch your breath. You deserve a break after all the back-toschool rushing around. Relax in a candle-lit bubble bath, go for a walk or distract yourself with a good book. Acknowledge your feelings without any judgment, and just try to enjoy yourself. It is OK to feel nervous, but do try to avoid becoming overwhelmed by anxiety.
This would be upsetting to your children. Little boys and girls are very perceptive. By showing that they are in control of the situation, parents will help their children feel safe and self-confident. The first day of school is certainly a very special time, but it is a normal step in the life of any child. So relax, keep smiling, and above all, be positive.
As your child’s first ever day at school approaches, try not to be overwhelmed by anxiety; this could be very upsetting for your little one.

Watching children leave home for their very first day of school is always an emotional time for parents. After a last goodbye, many mums and dads will spill tears of joy and pride, but sometimes those tears can be caused by anguish and worry. Leaving children in the hands of strangers is never easy. Parents must prepare themselves in advance so they can keep their composure during this big day in the lives of their children. It is helpful to establish the new routine several days before school starts. Set the alarm clock to wake up at a reasonable hour and take the time to eat breakfast

Joy of reading can be a great gift to children Sharing with your children the joy of reading is to offer them the most beautiful gift in the world: an open door to wonder and imagination, which they will be able to enjoy for the rest of their lives. There is no need to wait: research shows that children experience more academic success when the pleasures of words and reading are kindled before they start school. It is important, of course, to adapt the reading material to the age of the child. From zero to 2 years, babies will literally devour their books! Baby books must be very durable and, ideally, washable. As soon as babies can focus on an image, sharing a book together with a parent is a great way to spend time together. From three to five years, children start to be interested in stories with a narrative. Toddlers are likely to ask you to read them the same book night after night. Comply without grumbling, because a passion is being born! Preschoolers, on the other hand, usually appreciate a variety of stories and illustrations. When they are school-age, continue to read
to your children, even if they already know how to read alone. school
Then, gradually, take it in turns to read in order to encourage their progress. In addition to readers sent home from school, visit your local library as well so that you children can have access to a wider variety of books. An enjoyable outing to the library can be an incentive to read in itself. Last but not least, if they see you reading and hear you talking passionately about the books that you read, your children will almost inevitably grow up with a desire to do the same.
Research shows that children experience more academic success when they are exposed to books and stories before they start school. Submitted

How to live with your teen’s latest look The start of a new school year is usually a time to renew the kids’ wardrobes. When children are little this can be a lot of fun, but once they’re into the teenage years it’s much more difficult to find clothes that will please them as much as the parents. It’s around this age that shopping can start being a real headache for both parties. Yet it’s normal for teenagers to want to express their personality through their style of clothing. Some want to stand out from the crowd, while others prefer to conform to a certain popular fashion or to a style shared by their friends. This can be tricky when
an extravagant style doesn’t meet with parental approval. To keep the peace and prevent any conflicts from arising during a shopping outing, take some time to discuss your family’s style parameters before setting out. Try to stay open to new fashion trends and, above all, stay cool. After all, the more you insist, the more your children will protest. Opt instead for a compromise, either by suggesting accessories in the style they love or by offering them set times when they can flaunt their latest look. If that doesn’t work, consider giving them a bit of leeway. After all, is it really
that bad if your teenager wears pants that seem way too big, or if the top and bottom of an outfit don’t really match? Be careful that you don’t spend your money on styles that contravene the ethics or dress code of your teenager’s school. Explain your concerns about wasting money and leave the door open for other compromises.

We can do it: let’s unite to eradicate bullying According to the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, at least one Canadian teenager out of three can tell stories about what it’s like to be a victim of bullying at school. Other Canadian studies show that bullying occurs every seven minutes in the playground and every 25 minutes in the classroom. Do these statistics shock you? Whether you’re a student, parent, or educator, you have a role to play in putting an end to bullying. TYPES OF BULLYING
Bullying is not only about pushing people around or calling them names. There are in fact four principal types of bullying, and being able to identify them is a first step in the fight to eradicate this scourge.
6 1 3 • 8 6 7 • 5 7 7 4
Verbal bullying includes insults, sarcasms, teasing, the spreading of rumours, threats, inappropriate sexual comments, and slurs about culture, race, religion, gender, or sexual-orientation. Social bullying includes group threats, making a scapegoat of someone, exclusion, public humiliation, and demeaning graffiti. Physical bullying includes hitting, pushing, pinching, hounding, jostling, stealing or destroying possessions, and sexual touching of an undesirable nature. Cyberbullying includes using the Internet or text messaging to bully, humiliate, make fun of, or circulate rumours about someone. DEVASTATING EFFECTS
Just as there are many forms of bullying, there are
Kanata Rhythmic Gymnastics Club
also many devastating effects. Victims can experience an inordinate amount of insecurity, distress, withdrawal, isolation, fear, stress, anxiety, loss of selfconfidence, and nightmares. Some victims can also feel physical symptoms such as headaches, stomach aches, nausea, fatigue, and panic attacks. Bullying can even lead to academic problems, including dropping out of school. In a few cases – and only one case is too many – the pain caused by bullying can cause the victim to consider committing suicide. No one should have to feel wounded or humiliated or live in fear or isolation. Let’s all unite to eradicate bullying. Are you, or one of your friends, a victim of bullying? Is your child a victim, or perhaps even the bully? Several resources are available to you, including Kids Help Phone at 1-800-6686868 or www.kidshelpphone.ca.
Victim or witness: now’s the time to act. Submitted

Para Transpo consultations to start in September City reviewing who can ride, how to book Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
City officials will host 16 small sessions to discuss who is eligible to use Para Transpo, and what can be done to make the booking model more efficient. Beginning Sept. 17, OC Transpo officials will welcome 20 people at a time to discuss the barriers and challenges that exist for operators and users of the city’s alternative transit system. The big issue for advocates of people with disabilities seems to be eligibility. Right now, Para Transpo only offers services to people with physical disabilities and mobility concerns that prevent them from using regular OC Transpo services. Users are classified as temporary, permanent or “winteronly” clients, and all require medical documentation to get approved.
ALL DISABILITIES
But the provincial Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act includes developmental and cognitive disabilities in its general definition, and this, according to local advocacy groups, means people with those disabilities should also be able to use accessible transit. In May, the city’s transit commission called for a review Para Transpo’s eligibility criteria to better reflect the province’s accessibility standards. Judy Bernstein, director of supports and services at the Ottawa-Carleton Association for Persons with Developmental Disabilities, argued at the time that navigating OC Transpo can be just as difficult for someone with a cognitive delay as it is for someone in a wheelchair. If a person gets hired on the other side of town, for example, it may take three transfers to

Para Transpo staff is inviting the public to provide feedback about the service’s booking systems and eligibility criteria. Sixteen sessions are planned for September and October. get there by bus. That can be overwhelming – if not impossible – for someone with a developmental disability. “Because of their cognitive ability they aren’t able to navigate the three transfers, so they have no way of getting to work,” Bernstein said. “It’s been on families to leave their
jobs to drive them, or the person doesn’t accept the job.” Even for those who can master a daily OC Transpo route, going off course to get to a doctor’s appointment or a new location could be problematic. “Even construction can throw someone off, or missing their bus,” Bernstein said.

beautiful. And it’s fun! Some of the animals that walk owe their lives to the walker in the Wiggle Waggle Walkathon and their sponsors because the funds raised paid for their rescue from injury or abuse, lifesaving surgery and care at the OHS. That’s the serious side of the walk. All of the human walkers share a common belief in the inherent
value of animals in our lives. As with all walks, that’s the invigorating part. But the difference is the fun. Join the fun on Sept. 13, 2015, at Queen Juliana Park. To learn more about the walk and to get involved visit www. ottawahumane.ca/walk/.
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:

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, your mind is racing a mile a minute. Although it may be challenging, you have to find a way to slow down and focus on one thing for the time being. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, put some thought into your long-term financial goals. Planning now will help you realize your goals down the road. Don’t put off a meeting with your advisor.
