Besides being the first day of the school year, it was the first time Regina Alternative School opened its doors.

Get ready, the Highway 417 Carling eastbound ramp beside Westgate is going to close — at least temporarily. But whether it stays closed is still to be determined. According to the Ministry of Transportation, the temporary closure has been approved as part of the contract for the 417 widening, and it could be closed for up to four years. “If the ramp is closed this fall, the contract requires it to be reopened again on Nov. 30, and remain open over the winter. It will then be closed again on April 15, 2018, and could remain closed until the contract is completed at the end of 2020,” Alex Westendorp, regional communications co-ordinator for the MTO, said in an email. The final schedule for the closure will be confirmed once the contractor is in place. Construction work for the widening of the highway, a $59-million contract, is set to begin as early as this fall with most of the work occurring between Maitland and Carling avenues. Because of the planned highway widening, the ramp was flagged as a safety issue. Construction barrels and signage would mark that the ramp is blocked, but a permanent closure would require some physical changes, including removal of asphalt and grading. If the permanent closure is approved, the cost would be added to the widening project. Should the ramp be closed permanently, Coldrey Avenue would get speed bumps, said River Coun. Riley Brockington. Brockington’s office circulated a flyer and informed the community association and health centre about the mitigation measure. “The majority of people said it’s about time,” Brockington said of the proposal. The speed bumps will only go in if the closure becomes permanent. Then, with the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change’s approval, the province will pay for the traffic calming initiative, which could cost up to $50,000. Without the permanent closure, there won’t be any speed bumps.
“It only makes sense that on a street that’s residential in nature … that we do everything we can to calm traffic on that street,” Brockington said. A temporary closure of the ramp will give residents a true taste of the impact of what a permanent closure would cause. “It would be a good time to test the amount of traffic and do a traffic count, just to see.,” he said. For the widening project, the lane reductions and closures are mostly going to happen overnight or during off-peak hours with the possibility of two weekend closures, Westendorp said. The announcement that the ramp could be permanently closed caused uproar in the community. Residents circulated a petition, and local councillors vowed to lobby the government to keep it open. During the environmental study, the government received four requests for more evaluation to look at: • cut-through traffic and the impact it will have on area neighbourhoods if the ramp closes permanently, • future development in the area not being addressed, • traffic delay from the ramp closure causing increased greenhouse gas emissions. The ministry is still reviewing those orders. Bob Chiarelli, Minister of Infrastructure and MPP for Ottawa West-Nepean, was not available to speak about the closure, but said in a statement the closure is an important issue and community consultation was fostered. “The province committed to providing funding to mitigate the impacts on the affected neighbourhoods. Should the project receive (environmental) approval, MTO will begin working with the City of Ottawa and the local community to implement mitigation measures.” Asked if the minister supports the permanent closure of the ramp, Charelli’s office responded: “The ramp closure is part of a widening initiative being undertaken in order to correct a deficiency in the flow of traffic along this portion of the highway. The minister recognizes the importance of the Highway 417 widening project.”
Firefighters receive donation of carbon monoxide detectors BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com
A donation of carbon monoxide detectors will arm some of the city’s most vulnerable with a life-saving tool. On Sept. 1, the Insurance Bureau of Canada donated 150 carbon monoxide (CO) alarms to the Ottawa Fire Services. They will be distributed during the fire service’s various campaigns over the next few months, which target lowincome households as well as the elderly, to make sure they have the right tools to protect themselves, not only from fires, but from the deadly gas. “Carbon monoxide is truly a silent killer. We cannot see it and we cannot smell it. Carbon monoxide alarms are an essential life-saving tool,” said acting fire Chief Kim Ayotte from Ottawa Fire Ser-
vices in his prepared remarks. Carbon monoxide alarms have been mandatory in residential buildings that contain a fuel-burning appliance, a fireplace or a garage attached to the unit since 2015. The alarms provide early detection to allow for safe evacuation. It also gives firefighters an idea of what they are facing when attending the scene of a call. According to Kim Donaldson, vice-president of the Ontario Insurance Bureau of Canada, more than 1,000 alarms have been donated across Ontario. “These save lives,” Donaldson said. “The big issue is Ontario has acted and amended the fire code, but compliance is the issue. We can’t be sure that they are in every house.” The donation is a step not only in education, but making sure that those who need

them get them, she added. Residents are asked to evacuate immediately and call 911 if a carbon monoxide detector goes off. Crews from any of Ottawa’s fire stations will respond and use specialized equipment to test the CO levels and ventilate the dwelling. “There’s nothing worst than coming on scene to find a family overcome by CO,” said Peter Kennedy, president of the Ottawa Professional Firefighters Association. “It’s so important for us to get the word out about this safety issue.”

Invictus flag to make a stop in Westboro Community welcome to show support for wounded warriors BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com
During the 37-day Invictus Games flag tour, it’s coming to Westboro. The flag is travelling with 150 flag bearers from coast to
coast and making two stops in Ottawa. The Invictus Games are being held in Toronto from Sept. 23 to 30. On Sept. 15, it makes a stop beside the Westboro legion in Winston Square from 4:45 to 6:15 p.m. It’s one of 15 legions involved in the cross-country tour. The flag will also stop at 22 military bases and in more than 50 communities.

In organizing the event, Doug Cody, past-president of the branch, said the purpose of the tour really became clear when talking with organizers of the games. “The Invictus Games is for the athletes, but the flag run is for everyone,” Cody said. The games are for active duty and veteran service members who have become ill or injured during military service; the 550 athletes will compete in 12 different adaptive sports, including archery, athletics, golf, indoor rowing, powerlifting, cycling, volleyball, swimming, basketball, rugby, tennis and a driving challenge. There are 17 countries participating. The flag tour stop will feature the Invictus Games’ mascot, Vimy, a Labrador retriever trained to be a detection dog at the Canadian Forces Base in Trenton. Vimy can sniff out explosives and illegal chemicals. There will also be a yellow flag for attendees to sign to show their support. Those flags will be presented to
competitors at the games. The three local flag bearers are Bob Cook, who served in the military police and went on several United Nations tours, Ray Larose, who served in the air force, and Orrin Kerr, an army reservist with the Scottish regiment. The legion branch’s Sgt.At-Arms, Pat Berrea, a serving member of the reserves, will be giving his remarks during the stop as well. Although the event is special for the Westboro legion, Cody hopes that legion and community members from across the city come out and show their support for the games. “We’d love to see the local community get involved,” he said. Cody said having the flag stop in Westboro supports the Legion’s goal of supporting veterans. “That’s our goal and the goal of all legions.” The games were created in 2014 by Prince Harry. According to its website, “it’s the only international

Innes Coun. Jody Mitic lights the Invictus Spirit Flame at a ceremony at the Afghanistan Presidential Palace in Kabul. Mitic is an official ambassador of the games. Prior to their start on Sept. 23, the Invictus Games flag tour will make two stops in Ottawa, including one at Winston Square in Westboro beside the Westboro legion on Sept. 15 at 4:15 p.m. adaptive sporting event for wounded, ill and injured active duty and veteran service members.” Previous games were held in London, England, and in Orlando, Fla. Cody said the Invictus Games helped shine a light on the injuries veterans live with and it gives them a platform to show everyone just how strong they are.
“It’s a way for those who have been injured to be able to compete in sports and say I’m still able to do things,” he said. “It’s putting a light on a group of people that out of uniform when people who walk down the street see them, they don’t have any clue. It brings the spotlight and allows them to show off and be seen.”

Court dismisses injunction on city’s hookah ban BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
According to a memo sent to council by Rick O’Connor, the city clerk and solicitor, a legal challenge to the city’s hookah ban has been dismissed. The Ontario Superior Court of Justice made the decision to dismiss an application to block enforcement of shisha and water-based pipes such as hookahs on Aug. 22. That decision was released Aug. 29. The challenge was initiated by Brian Mahmoud, who owns the Lebanese Palace on Industrial Avenue. Mahmoud alleged his busi-
ness had suffered significant losses as a result of its inability to serve shisha. The ban was approved by council last fall, after a number of café owners told the city’s community and protective services committee they were worried about the future of their business. A total ban on shisha cafés will spell death for her business, said Julia Moussa, from the Bay Rock Café at the Aug. 25, 2016 meeting. The court only banned the injunction, not the main challenge to the bylaw under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The challenge asserts that the ban violates equality rights guaranteed under the Charter. It will be
heard on Feb. 8, 2018. “While the court was persuaded that there was a serious issue to be tried and that the applicant may suffer irreparable harm if the injunction was not issued,” the memo reads “the court found that the balance of convenience favoured the city, in that the interest in protecting public health outweighed the Lebanese Palace’s and Mr. Mahmoud’s financial interests.” The court also awarded the city $15,761.69 in compensation for legal costs. The city originally sought $21,802.22 in compensation. The court upheld a similar challenge to Toronto’s hookah ban.
NOTICE OF PASSING OF AN INTERIM CONTROL BY-LAW OF THE CITY OF OTTAWA The Council of the City of Ottawa passed By-law Number 2017-278 on August 23, 2017, under Section 38 of The PLANNING ACT.

Notice of Study Commencement and Open House #1 Leitrim Road Realignment and Widening Environmental Assessment Study
The Interim Control By-law requires that on lands zoned R1, R2, R3 or R4 and located within the area shown on the attached map:
Wednesday, September 20, 2017 Fred Barrett Arena 3280 Leitrim Road 6 to 9 p.m. (presentation at 7 p.m.) OC Transpo route 93 (formerly 144) Free parking is available
• No dwelling unit in any building other than a detached dwelling may contain more than four bedrooms and the unit may not exceed a floor area of 120 square meters • No detached dwelling may contain more than six bedrooms
The City of Ottawa has initiated the Leitrim Road Realignment and Widening Environmental Assessment (EA) Study to identify the right-of-way requirements for the project, protect the corridor and inform the ongoing planning and development of adjacent lands. The study area is illustrated on the key map.
The EA study is being undertaken in accordance with Ontario’s EA Act, fulfilling requirements as a Municipal Class EA process for a Schedule C project. The EA process will involve developing, assessing and evaluating alternatives, leading to a Recommended Plan including a functional design and an estimate of capital and operating costs for implementation. There will be ongoing public consultation activities during the course of the study.

Ride on over to Ottawa's newest film festival BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com
There is a new festival that is rolling into Ottawa this September. The 17th annual Bicycle Film Festival will be making a stop in this city for the first time. Although a smaller version of the festival in French was hosted in Gatineau last year, thanks to the EnviroCentre, this year the festival will be coming in all its glory — with 36 short films to be shown over the course of three programs on Sept. 9 at the St. Brigid’s Centre for the Arts, 310 St. Patrick St. “This is about celebrating all cycling cultures in our city,” said Jennifer Stelzer, community outreach co-ordinator at EnviroCentre. Stelzer said she really wanted to bring this festival to Ottawa because she wanted to bring together all the different types of cyclists in this city
under one roof. “When I’m out and about, I really notice a divide from the spandex crowd, the leisure crowd and the bicycling carriers, and I really wanted to bring them together,” Stelzer said. And that could very well happen at this festival as the goal between each program ending is to offer up the opportunity to mingle and meet other cyclists. “It will be a very relaxed and aimed at being quite the social event,” she said. New Yorker Brendt Barbur founded the Bicycle Film Festival after getting hit by a city bus while riding his bicycle in New York City. Barbur, inspired by his passion for bicycles and art created the festival in 2001. The films that are a part of Ottawa’s festival have been curated by Barbur, with input from EnviroCentre. “It truly has something for everything,” Stelzer said. “You
don’t have to love bikes they are truly great films.” It has travelled all around the world, including Quebec City and Montreal, but not to Ottawa. This event will be bilingual. Films cover a wide array of topics, from an animation about the Naked Bike Ride to Sister Session, a documentary about women in the world of BMX. All films are under 16 minutes. The Ottawa Historical Society will also be on-site offering a special display with the history of cycling in Ottawa. RetroRides will also have a large collection of vintage bikes on display. Other partners include Mobi-O from Gatineau and Bike Ottawa. Tickets are available online through Eventbrite and cost $20 for one program, $50 for all three. Secure Bike parking is available and refreshments maybe be purchased.

Changing name does nothing
W
hat’s in a name? A lot, if you listen to the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO), which has called on school boards to rename any schools bearing the name of Sir John A. Macdonald. While Macdonald was one of the chief architects of Confederation in 1867, he also was a decision maker with regard to implementation of residential schools for Canada’s Indigenous peoples. And therein lies the rub — he’s great, but he’s not so great. So, according to the ETFO, let’s wipe Sir John A. from any school buildings. But then what’s next, especially here in Ottawa where the name is widespread. Are the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway, the Sir John A. Macdonald Building, the Macdonald-Cartier Bridge and the Macdonald-Cartier International Airport renamed? Is his statue on Parliament Hill removed? And what about the Sir John A. pub on Elgin Street? This ETFO renaming proposal has not been greeted favourably by either Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne nor Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. We find Trudeau’s position on this inconsistent as he just recently renamed the Langevin Block because of Hector-Louis Langevin’s role in the establishment of the residential school system. While Langevin is not nearly as significant an historical
figure as Sir John A., his name was quickly tossed aside by the PM. Yet Sir John A. was Langevin’s boss and was equally complicit in the decision. One goes and one stays — a double standard? Surely what really should be happening as the country wrestles with reconciliation with its Indigenous populace is not to eliminate the past by deleting the names of those from that chapter in Canada’s history. Rather, schools need to tell the complete story of our forefathers, warts and all. In this way, Canadians will come to know not only all the positive things that these people did, but also their blemishes. Removing names from school or public facilities would only cover up the past and do nothing to help Canadians of today to begin dealing with how to form a new respectful relationship with Indigenous peoples. Our past is what it is. We cannot change that. Nor should we want to change that. But Canadians should know about the past — the good, the bad and, yes, the ugly. Let’s honour the accomplishments and achievements of our forefathers while also acknowledging their faults and taking action to correct them. We can only move forward to Indigenous reconciliation by knowing and acknowledging the past. Changing the name on a building will not do this.
Carpool should be easy to set up but it’s not

eptember is here and I’ve managed to do the unthinkable — the family calendar is booked seven days per week, sometimes double-booked. After all the years promising myself and you readers that I wouldn’t let this happen, the crazy, overscheduled lifestyle has hit. My eldest two children are on the brink of adolescent years. And as it turns out, they like their friends more than they like me. Their friends play football and soccer and baseball and hockey and … well, the list goes on. “Some days, I’d like to come home from work and just sit for half an hour,” my husband said one day last spring as he was emptying the compost and preparing to mend a school uniform for one of the kids. Personally, I’d like to stop thinking

My most frequent Google searches these days include things like, “meals for kids on the go” and “slow cooker all year ‘round.” I’ve also been known to look up things like “how much protein do kids need if they’re growing and playing sports six hours per day?” Turns out, it’s a lot.

ing, I have discovered the best thing since the professionalization of motherhood — the carpool. If you’re a parent with kids in extracurricular activities and you’re not carpooling, it’s time to start. It will save your sanity. But you have to stop hovering so much. The carpool should be easy to establish, but it’s not. It takes hours to get everything downloaded and organized at the beginning of the sports season — you have to recruit like-minded parents (those that are comfortable as non-helicopters), download the info from TeamSnap and create a shareable calendar. As a family with one car and three kids, I have to frequently look into double-booking issues, work around vacations and rely on kind neighbours — you know who you are — to make it run smoothly.
It’s comparable to many project management jobs for which I once got paid. But once it’s in place, it works. My son has 12 practices per month in one sport. Twelve! With six parents on our carpool list, I attend two training sessions every 30 days. Unless I’m volunteering on a particular evening, I don’t need to be on the sidelines watching my kids train in sports. Would they want to sit there and watch me exercise? I don’t think so. I don’t even want to watch me exercise. It’s time better spent grocery shopping and meal planning, if you know what I mean. The carpool has been so successful, I extended it to include games. So what if I missed my son’s first goal of the season? I got to take a bubble bath on a “school night” instead. Besides, listening to his embellished

Never Leave a Dog in a Hot Car
Tips For A Happy And Healthy Indoor Kitty Even though cats may love to have the freedom of running around outside, so too would dogs whose freedom we strictly control. In fact, small children would relish the opportunity to roam freely all day, with little or no regard for their safety. In today’s world this freedom is just not possible. Cats crave familiarity, structure and routine, which is exactly what an indoor life has to offer, with the added bonus of safety from all the dangers that await them outside! By ensuring your cat has the necessary home environment, proper diet, enrichment items, and interactive play, your cat can live a long and happy life indoors. Whether your cat is already a strictly indoor cat or a newly transitioned one, you will want to ensure your home has all the items your cat requires to keep her feeling safe and mentally stimulated. This includes: 1. A refuge room where your cat can go to feel safe during times of anxiety (loud noises, unfamiliar visitors, construction, etc.) 2. Places to climb and perch on, such as a cat tree or a window perch 3. An appropriate scratch post 4. Solo toys that can keep kitty entertained on her own, such as toy mice, ping pong balls and even paper bags 5. A litter box that is kept well cleaned, as cats have meticulous litter box preferences 6. Interactive toys, such as cat wands, that can be used by you during play time with your pet Learn more great pet tips at www.ottawahumane.ca/your-pet.
As we head into August, the Ottawa Humane Society is asking our community to help us make sure no dog is ever left to suffer in a hot car again. It’s only through educating our community and spreading the word that we can make sure the animals in our community are safe all summer long. The temperature inside a car can quickly climb, turning it into an oven in minutes. A dog inside will begin to pant, drool, suffer increased heart rate, vomit, have seizures and could even die. The dog’s brain may swell, he may have trouble breathing. The heat may affect all his organs, including his heart, weakening the muscle until the poor dog goes into shock. The solution? Never leave a dog in a hot car. Even a couple minutes can have grave consequences. And if you see a dog in a hot car what should you do? Remember to T.A.N. Take information. Note the make, model and licence plate number of the car, the exact location of the car and description of the dog: breed, colour, size etc. Remember that windows cracked open do not significantly reduce the internal temperature of a car. 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 foot well (which is the “coolest” place in a vehicle), convulsions/seizuring, and ultimately coma and death. Notify authorities. Contact nearby stores and businesses. Ask them to make an announcement for the owner to return to their car. Get others to help you. If the dog is in distress call the Ottawa Police Service at 911. Stay on the scene to monitor the situation until the owner or help arrives.
Egg-cellent fundraiser taking place in Centretown BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com
The morning of Sept. 12, the sweet smell of breakfast in the air on Bank Street has an even sweeter reason for you to stop and fill up. Two Centretown businessmen, Daljit Nirman of Nirman’s Law Professional Corporation, and Vinod Chaudhary, owner of Eggspectation Restaurant, have joined forces to host Cooking up Community Services, a fundraiser for the Montfort Hospital Foundation at the Eggspectation Restaurant, 171 Bank St. The event is offering a free breakfast from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Chaudhary will open the doors to his restaurant for a hearty breakfast of eggs, sausage and lots of fresh orange juice to wash it down. “This is about how we
can add value to the community,” Chaudhary said. All donations received at the breakfast will be invested in the Montfort Hospital Foundation’s For You, Sweet Heart Fundraising Campaign to purchase a CT scanner with a specialized cardiac module for the Montfort Hospital. This is not the first time the two have partnered to help out an organization in need. Over the past five years, they have hosted smaller fundraising events, including an annual free water giveaway on Canada Day. It was following the success of this event that the men felt they could host a bigger event. Picking the Montfort Hospital Foundation, Nirman said, was a natural choice. “South Asians are genetically predisposed to have

cardiac issues,” Nirman said, adding that ensuring a hospital has the most upto-date technology is important in making sure lives are saved. Christine Sigouin, chief executive officer at the Montfort Hospital Foundation, said that the foundation is grateful for Nirman’s and Chaudhary’s efforts. “It is heartwarming to see that different communities can, and do, come together for a common worthy cause,” Sigouin said. Nirman said giving back to the community is just part of his life. “If we are living in Ottawa and this is our home, any small bit can help,” he said. There is no suggested donation, Nirman said people are welcome to offer whatever they have to the cause. In income tax receipt will be issued for all donations of $10 or more.

Desroches had ‘salty’ experience with water filter salespeople To the editor: Just as we can anticipate perennial spring tulips and summer ice-cream trucks, so too comes the plague of water filter pedlars to our front doorsteps. While there are other unwelcome door-to-door sales agents, it’s the fake water quality claims that really makes me boil. Sure you may need a new air conditioner, furnace or water heater but you likely don’t need a home water filter. Unfortunately, these bottomfeeder sales tactics are province-wide and so common locally, the City of Ottawa has repeatedly sent out media advisories warning that city officials do not engage in door-to-door commercial mischief. The Province of Ontario has an online Consumer Beware List for water treatment devices and purifiers. The despicable tales and testimonials are well known and I know firsthand after a personal salty encounter. The sales spin may start with a claim that new government regulations are in place and they need to inspect your water system to help you comply. A recent case on Facebook involved a company bold enough to include the word safety in the name of their enterprise. Sadly, many residents are pressured into purchasing needless and uncertified products that could in fact damage pipes through the installation process by unqualified personnel. Unethical sales tactics aside, you really don’t need to open the door to these hawkers. The City of Ottawa spends a lot of time and money ensuring our water is safe and reliable. The Walkerton water crisis led to stronger regulatory requirements for munici-
pal water providers in Ontario. I can recall being reminded at council by our very sage solicitor the consequences of poor oversight and negligence could lead to jail time for elected officials. Given the high stakes, water safety is serious business for the municipality and more than 100,000 tests are performed each year to make sure our tap water is safe. But somehow this message is not getting through to some residents. Their continuing presence and consumer complaints suggest there must be must be a viable market for these filter pedlars. Sadly, even with a proposed provincial ban on door-to-door sales activities, these sales would likely continue through other online means. This is where the good guys in the industry can help. There are companies that serve a clientele that actually need water quality systems such as water conditioners. They are part of a national
group called the Canadian Water Quality Association. Part of their vision is to promote a credible water quality industry. With their reputation at stake, they should consider partnering with municipalities and other stakeholders on a broad consumer protection campaign through radio, newspapers and social media. Many local interests, such as community associations and seniors groups, would be eager partners. Until the province bans these door-to-door sales, we can all do our part by closing the door and spreading the word. Or if you have the time, you can counter their tactics by feigning interest and stalling their miserable march down our streets. As any general knows, if you can’t defeat your enemy, you can take strategic steps to sap and deplete their strength. — Steve Desroches, former Ottawa City Councillor and Deputy Mayor.

Westboro development is back and taller than ever BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com
A proposed Westboro development is being criticized for stuffing too much into a postage stamp-sized lot. About 30 people attended a community meeting to hear what’s next for 1946 Scott St. at the corner of West Village Private. Surface Developments is proposing a 12-storey, 60-unit building, called Westboro Lofts. It will have 13 parking spots for residents, including a couple of spots for car shares, and also about four visitor parking spots. The proposed development is less than 300 metres from the future Westboro LRT station. The lot is about 665 square metres, about 11 square metres short of what’s needed for the size of the building, according to city rules. “Surface is trying to squeeze as much revenue out of a very small lot as possible,” said Westboro resident Peter Larson at the meeting. About seven years ago, a six-
storey proposal didn’t get past the committee of adjustment. The ruling of the quasi-judicial tribunal was that the proposal “represents overdevelopment and does not follow good planning practices.” The condos are being advertised as luxury units, starting from the low $200,000s. The design boasts a green roof, trees at the midsection, as well as other eco-friendly features. Residents at the meeting opposed the amount of parking offered on the site, were sceptical about how trucks and deliveries would access the building, and disproved of the height and size of the building. Clifton Road resident Beth Cole said that she supported the proponent’s concept of providing less than the city’s parking minimum, but didn’t see any evidence to show that residents who live close to transit stations, and their visitors, will actually ditch their vehicles. She worried they would seek parking on side streets to make up for the lack of parking at the development.
Surface Developments/Submitted
About 30 residents came out to a recent community meeting to raise concerns about a 12-storey building planned for 1946 Scott St., called Westboro Lofts. “It’s highly unlikely none of them will have cars,” she said during a Q and A session. “I applaud the direction, but just because this concept is good, doesn’t mean it works.” President of Surface Developments Jakub Ulak said he
could build more parking. “We’re not doing it because we can’t, we are doing it because we think it’s the right move and either way we go has additional consequences,” he said. “We want to support transit. If you put in 40-60 parking
spots in this building, it’s going to attract people with cars to move to Westboro. It’s not going to attract people who want to use transit. If it’s aggressively priced, it’s affordable for people, it has no parking, you’ll likely get people who don’t depend on cars and hopefully attract more people who want to use transit. “But it’s not a perfect tool,” Ulak said. The neighbourhood is changing. The new development, if approved, would be close to new 32 and 28 storey towers at 1518 Scott St., and a 22-storey building at the former Trailhead site next door is moving ahead. All of that has residents concerned about what their neighbourhood will look like, as each development continues to move forward. “Everything is changing, we have to make a decision and it could affect residents considerably. It’s not just the height, but the traffic,” resident Tim Gray, who lives on West Village Private said, adding the streets are already packed with cars. “We’re doing something
that’s very new and we’re taking a chance on a concept without knowing what the impact will be.” Though some residents now preferred a plan like the sixstorey proposed back in 2010, Kitchissppi Coun. Jeff Leiper said, too much has changed for that to be a realistic expectation. Since then, the city has redone its Official Plan and councillors are supportive of intensification, especially around transit stations. It also makes any previous ruling by the committee of adjustment years ago moot. Leiper said he didn’t like his chances of getting his colleagues to vote against the proposal. He added he had colleagues vote against the 22-storey proposal for the Trailhead site, but he can’t count on that for this. “It’s going to pass, no problem,” said resident Paul Stacey, who was a vocal opponent of the Trailhead development. “Twelve storeys sounds small now,” he said. “We’ve slipped off the cliff already.”

Residents oppose Lisgar development
City Councillor/Conseiller Municipal River Ward/Quartier Rivière Welcome Back River Ward Students I hope everyone had an enjoyable summer and look forward to a year of many great experiences in school. A reminder to all motorists, to obey all school zone speed limits and parking restrictions and take extra precaution as additional pedestrians and cyclists are out in the mornings and afternoons. September is School Bus/School Zone safety and Vehicle Occupant Restraint awareness month with the Ottawa Police Service Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP).
Proposal is for a four-storey, 21-unit apartment BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
A metre change in the setbacks surrounding a four-storey apartment building planned for Lisgar and Bay streets has some residents concerned about loss of privacy.
‘“The building is too large for the lot, it doesn’t fit with the character of the neighbourhood,” she said.’ RESIDENT AIDA HADZIOMEROVIC
The proposed four-storey, 21-unit apartment building with a rooftop terrace is out of character for the neighbourhood said Aida Hadziomerovic, who lives near the site. The property is roughly 692 metres and has 20 metres of frontage on Lisgar Street. Currently there are four single-family homes on the site. The developer plans to create one- and two-bedroom apartments with balconies on the north and south side of the building. Hadziomerovic told the city’s planning committee on Aug. 22 that she’s concerned about the loss of privacy
and noise from the rooftop patio. “The building is too large for the lot, it doesn’t fit with the character of the neighbourhood,” she said. The committee also granted a reduction of the side and rear setbacks. The report to committee says there are four houses and three have little to no setback from the street. Judi Anderson, whose home neighbours the site, said she and her husband have done everything they can to create an oasis in the downtown core. Anderson said due to the building’s height, losing a metre on either side, will mean a loss of green space and privacy. Brian Casagrande, with FOTENN Consultants, who represents the developer, said the parking garage at the rear of the building means the applicants will need approval for zero setback at the rear of the building. The garage will rise 0.5 metre above the ground and is therefore considered part of the building’s footprint. Casagrande said there would also be an amenity space in the rear. “It won’t be visible to the neighbours,” Casagrande said of the 0.5-metre of parking garage that’s above ground. Planning committee recommended the proposal. Council will consider the application on Sept. 13.

BEING A GRANDPARENT IS SUCH A GIFT. THROUGH THEIR FAMILY FOUNDATION, DAVE AND ANN TRICK ARE BRINGING SOME MAGIC TO THE LIVES OF CHILDREN AT CHEO. Dave and Ann Trick are so proud of their nine grandchildren. Over the years, many of the Trick’s grandchildren have visited CHEO for everything from broken bones to tests and treatment for various health issues. Dave and Ann are grateful that today, they all are healthy! But that wasn’t always the case.
GRANDPARENTS DAY IS SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2017. A gift to CHEO’s Grandparents Program, either as a grandparent or to honour special grandparents, will transform your gratitude into specialized care for all families who need CHEO. 14 Ottawa West News - Thursday, September 7, 2017
In 2011, their youngest granddaughter Emily suffered a stroke in-utero. She spent two weeks in CHEO’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Thanks to their interventions, and continued care through CHEO
and OCTC, Emily is thriving. For the Trick family, supporting CHEO was an easy choice. Dave and Ann established their foundation with one clear goal in mind: “We wanted to inspire philanthropy within our own family,” Dave explains.
“We are delighted to help provide an excellence in care that all grandchildren deserve,” says Ann.

Another reminder of Depression times
G
etting ready to go back to school after the summer was over, was no big deal. Smart’s Drug Store put out long tables of the school books we would need, and what couldn’t be traded or handed down from an older brother or sister, had to be bought. That meant more chickens, eggs and whatever else could bring in a few dollars would have to be peddled door to door by Mother to pay for what we would need in school supplies. For me, unlike bad Marguirite, there would be no new clothes. What I had worn before would be washed and starched if needed, and any missing buttons sewn on. If I was lucky, I might get a new pair of store-bought bloomers to wear in place of my flour bag ones I wore every day. But I would be allowed to wear them only for the first day back to school. As if anyone, other than me, would know I even had them on! It was a Saturday. A week before FOR SALE

school was to start. We were on our way into Renfrew, just Mother and me. The back seat of the Model T was loaded with what Mother hoped would sell so that we could buy our house supplies, and have enough left over to buy what books we needed for school. There’s no use in asking, I said to myself. But I mulled it over in my mind, and thought, just maybe Mother would listen. “Do you think I could have a new pair of store-bought shoes this year?” I paused for a moment and then added, “Just once I’d like to have a pair that someone else hadn’t worn first. And not boy’s shoes.” Mostly, my shoes came in the handme-down box from Aunt Lizzie in Regina who only had two sons...no daughters, and you didn’t have to be too smart to see that they were decidedly boy’s shoes. Brown, they were, called brogues, with thick laces. I was the only one the shoes would fit. And I hated them with FOR SALE

a passion. How I longed for a pair of girl’s shoes. Mother didn’t even answer, and I wondered if she heard me, so I asked again if she thought there might be enough money to buy me a pair of shoes. “They don’t have to be fancy... as long as they are girl’s shoes,” I said again, barely whispering. Again, Mother didn’t answer for the longest time. “Mary, I know you’d like new shoes, but by the time we get the books the five of you need for school, and the supplies I need at home, there will be no money left. I even had to go into the sugar bowl to take out some of my egg money today.” She was almost whispering, and I could hardly hear her. Her voice sounded so far away. I never mentioned new shoes again and the night before the first day of school, I saw Mother try to shine the ugly brogues. She was using goose grease and a piece of flannelette, and I saw her rubbing the shoes as if she FOR SALE

MARY COOK Memories hated them as much as I did. She took out the laces, and put in a brand new pair she got at Briscoe’s General Store on the way home from Renfrew. “Put them on my bill please,” she said. She didn’t have the nine cents to pay for them. When I went to bed, the brogues were sitting beside the chair with the school clothes I would be wearing. My pillow was still damp when I woke up the next morning. I was never more aware of what it meant to be a child of the Depression. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Walk, bike or take transit this fall: Transportation chair BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Most of the roadwork this fall will be outside the downtown core, said transportation chair Keith Egli, during a technical briefing to council and city staff on Aug. 30. A push to get all the work done in the downtown core for 2017 celebrations means this fall will see work in the suburbs and rural areas. City officials have only identified two areas where delays would be more than 10 minutes as a result of roadwork. Those areas are Nicholas Street between Highway 417 and Laurier Avenue, and St. Laurent Boulevard south of Innes Road. The construction project on St Laurent Boulevard is adding bus and cycling facilities. “I don’t think we’re going to have a large bottleneck specifically this year,” Greg Kent, head of traffic management for the city, said. “We don’t expect anything significant, but other conditions such as weather may compound the impacts.” Nicholas Street could be
the site of some backups, Kent said, but buses have been detoured to the road after the University of Ottawa transit station was closed and cars have been moving well off the highway. Egli said the city would attempt to be as nimble as possible to deal with unexpected delays such as collisions or water main breaks, but residents should plan their trips ahead of time and use other forms of transportation when possible. “Our roadways will be busy and congested,” he said. The city is also dealing with impacts from The Ontario Ministry of Transportation’s widening project on Highway 417 between Maitland Avenue and Island Park Drive. Kent said the city would be working with the province as they become aware of the aspects of the work. Egli said despite the fact that several councillors disagree with the province’s decision to widen the highway — due to the city’s lack of infrastructure available to deal with the increase traffic — the city has to deal with
the cards its dealt. “I think the most pragmatic thing the city can do is work with the plan,” he said. CONFEDERATION LINE
As 2018 approaches, the deadline for the opening of the Confederation Line, the city has launched its Ready for Rail campaign. While it’s still unclear when the official opening day is, Steve Cripps, the director of O-Train construction, said 17 of the 34 LRT vehicles have been assembled and test runs on the east end of the 12.5-kilometre line will soon extend as far west as the University of Ottawa station. Streetscaping on Queen Street continues as workers continue to complete the tunnel. Cripps said crews have installed 6.5 kilometres of track at the maintenance and storage facility and associated spur connector. On Sept. 15, OC Transpo will move an eastbound bus stop on Albert Street at Bayview station to the intersection of Albert Street and Bayview Road.

Work on Prince of Wales Drive from Deakin Street to Strandherd Road will continue, with closures and lane reductions, as crews work to repave and widen the rural highway. ORLÉANS
Work continues on the Brian Coburn Boulevard ex-
tension and the Navan Road rehabilitation may slow traffic in the east end suburbs. WEST
There’s a Highway 416 culvert repair at Fallowfield Road, as well as a bridge repair at the highway, Richmond and Baseline roads and a bridge that connects 416 to Barnsdale and Bankfield roads.
WEST CARLETON
Work on the Kinburn culvert should have minimal impacts, according to the presentation made by city staff. Work continues on police headquarters, the Alta Vista hospital link, the Chapman Mills bus rapid transit lanes in Barrhaven and Loretta Avenue integrated road, sewer and water work.

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.
ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, don’t let plans that don’t come to fruition discourage you. Many of your plans will fall into place, and there is plenty of time to think of others. Keep dreaming away.
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!
