News - The growing pains of transitioning Baseline Road into a rapid bus transit corridor were on display at a June 2 meeting. The city is finalizing plans to widen Baseline Road between Bayshore station and Prince of Wales Drive in phases starting in 2019 or 2020 to provide a dedicated bus lane in each direction. While many of the 20 or so people in attendance were excited about the possibility of quicker transit, they were also concerned about the problems this new format of “Transitway” could cause. Engineers are recommending Ottawa’s first median transit facility, which would see the two bus lanes in the centre of traffic, bordered by two lanes for vehicles closer to the curb. Residents have been ex-

pressing concerns about the safety of having to walk into the middle of the road to catch the bus, said College Coun. Rick Chiarelli, but that’s just because they haven’t been given a visual of what it would look like. “But I think once people have pictures of how that works they’ll be reassured,” he said. “The way they are going to do it is really safe.” There would be a full bus stop, with a shelter and a wide enough median to allow passengers to safely wait for the bus, said David Hopper, an engineer with Delcan who is working on the project. The bus stops would be located at intersections or pedestrian crossings that would provide a safe way for people to get to the median bus stops, he said. The location of the bus stops caused other concerns for some residents. See BIKE, page 25

Bike corrals coming to Wellington West Pilot project with city aims to attract cyclists to businesses Bu t c her

Steph Willems

Steph.willems@metroland.com

Community – Cyclists visiting the Wellington West community will have new bike parking options once a pilot projects gets off the ground next month. The city will be install street bike corrals in existing on-street parking spots in two locations along the Wellington West strip, one just east of Fairmont Avenue and another just east of Clarendon Avenue. Each bike corral provides a secure place to lock up to 12 bikes while making efficient use of a compact space. Kitchissippi Coun. Katherine Hobbs said the project is a way of making the area more attractive and accommodating to cyclists. “It takes the place of one parking spot,” said Hobbs. “The Wellington West (Business Improvement Area) really wanted to capitalize on them … When they did their research, they found a good percentage of people coming into the area by bike.” The Wellington West BIA did indeed like the idea, so much so that they advocated for the city to increase the bike corrals in the projects from one to two.

ary Dayler said his organization was “very enthusiastic” about the idea. “Cycling is a bit of a market gap in this community,” said Dayler. “We’re seeing more and more folks taking to the road on their bikes, so we’re setting up the business area to capitalize on this. We want to be a destination for cyclists, but you need to ensure the area can accommodate it.” While Daylor concedes that the private automobile, along with transit, will be mainstays for the foreseeable future, a number of factors are causing an uptick in the number of cyclists. Congestion, lack of parking, the price of gasoline, and improved cycling infrastructure on the west side of downtown Ottawa are all contributing factors to the phenomenon. The bike corrals will be orange in colour, with the bikes diagonally places behind a car-shaped cutout that faces the street. Not only are they efficient in terms of space, but they’re also pleasing to the eye – something shop owners in the area would likely want. “We don’t want to clutter up the streetscape,” said Dayler While the BIA performs a modal study each year, this summer it’ll be paying close attention to numbers related to the new bike parking. The corrals will be removed before the onset of winter, at which point the city will analyze the results of the pilot project to judge its success.

News - The National Capital Commission hopes to make the green space along Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway into something more grand – but not anytime soon. A group of stakeholders from community associations and local agencies were invited to the NCC’s offices on May 27 for a “blue sky” brainstorming session on how the nine kilometres of parkland could be improved. But there is no budget for any improvements now and it’s likely nothing could be done for a decade, said the NCC’s CEO, Mark Kristmanson. “The idea of a waterfront linear park that would run from the Canadian War Museum up to Britannia on the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway is an idea for the long term. It’s not something you’ll see coming next year or something,” Kristmanson said. “This is kind of an aspirational ‘blue-skying’ of what could be done with the parkway in the long term. It could be 10 years before something happens.” He was hoping people would come up with ideas to create better access to the waterfront and add more activities or amenities that would attract people there or entice the large volumes of cyclists who use the pathways to stick around. Connecting the parkway lands back into the “urban fabric,” especially near the war museum, is another goal of Kristmanson’s. The main theme of discussions around various tables at the consultation was how much people cherished the green space that is already there.

“It’s a fantastic amenity. Any changes need to be in addition to, rather than a change,” said Ben Gianni, a professor from Carleton University’s school of architecture. Michael Powell of the Dalhousie Community Association agreed. “It’s less about creating a linear park than expanding on what’s already there,” he said. “I think they’re a great asset. They are already very well used and much loved and beautiful,” Kristmanson said. “But you could imagine ... As society changes, as means of transportation change, as climate changes, all of things things, it will open up new possibilities and opportunities.” Some ideas floated by participants included adding washroom facilities – perhaps composting toilets, suggested Melissa Hugh of the Woodroffe North Laura Mueller/Metroland Community Association – and adding National Capital Commission CEO Mark Kristmanson participates in a May 27 consultation on how to make interpretative signs to explain the flora the green space along Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway into a linear park. and fauna of the area.

“We’re looking at what people are doing around the world with waterfront spaces and using them in imaginative ways,” Kristmason said. The initiative is part of a broader consultation on what Canadians would like to see the NCC’s parkways become.

Glashan takes second place in Canada-wide contest Greening project one step closer to completion Michelle Nash

Michelle.nash@metroland.com

Community - Every day for a month, more than 1,000 Ottawa residents voted to help make Glashan Public School a little more green. All that hard work has paid off. The small Centretown school has walked away with a second place finish and $5,000 from Majesta Trees of Knowledge 2014, a Canada-wide school contest that asked schools to design outdoor classrooms. “Those reminders, we felt really contributed to how well we did and that help was a really significant,” said principal Jim Tayler said. The Grade 7 and 8 Centretown public school was one of 10 schools across Canada in the running for a $20,000 outdoor classroom prize from the Majesta Trees of Knowledge 2014 competition. The competition began on April 7 and in order to win any prize, the school had to gather as many individual on-

line votes as possible before May 5. Prior to the start of the contest, Tayler said his goal was to have everyone in the city supporting the school’s cause, as it was the only school in Ottawa participating in the contest. “Knowing how much the community was behind us meant a lot,” Tayler said. The winning school was Nashwaak Valley School in Durham Bridge, New Brunswick. Tayler said he was told the margin between first and second place was extremely close and he was happy with that. “Everyone worked so hard,” he said. The school also managed to win the most creative category, a $3,000 prize, which Tayler credits to all six of the school’s initiatives to engage the public for support. “Street rallies, engaging the public, the fact that we used Twitter as a means of communicating (with) the community was really effec-

tive. Participation of the kids was an overwhelming,” he said. Located between Bank and Lyon Streets, the school’s yard is mostly paved. Tayler said the school’s parent council was the driving force behind the project to make a portion of the school yard green, which is only part of a larger greening project the council aims to complete. The council formed the Green Team and began applying for grants and reaching out to community partners to help get the project get off the ground. The ultimate goal, Tayler said, is for the school to create two green spaces in the yard – a shaded area, fit for reading and sitting and another spot they want to turn into a small outdoor theatre. “The money is a starting point for us in terms of the funds required to make this project a reality,” Tayler said. “We are committed to make this happen.”

File

Students, teachers, parents hold a rally at the start of the Majesta Trees of Knowledge 2014 competition in April. The school placed second in the contest, winning a total of $8,000. The entire project could cost anywhere between $25,000 to $35,000 and the principal said the school will begin its final phase of fundraising beginning in the fall. “Perhaps we could be looking at next spring for construction,” Tayler said. “I think with the interest we

Inspire Us

gained with the contest, and the fact we brought $8,000 to the table can go a long way … I am going to be hopeful and optimistic that this time next year we will have an outdoor classroom.” To find out more about Glashan’s project, follow Glashan Public School at @

glashanleads or email Tayler at james.tayler@ocdsb.ca. The next Majesta Trees of Knowledge competition will start accepting school submissions in early September. More information can be found at www.majestatreesofknowledge.ca.

‘Super Sharrows’ coming to Bank Street Bridge Speed to change to 20 km/hr, vehicles must travel single file Michelle Nash

Michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - A new single file designation for Bank Street Bridge aims to make cycling more safe and comfortable. Capital Coun. David Chernushenko said he believes he has found a decent compromise to designated bike lanes on the Bank Street Bridge. New “super sharrows,” lane markings reminding motorists they must share the road with cyclists, will be place on the outside lanes on the bridge this month. “The point is going to be either

stay behind the cyclist or change lanes,” Chernushenko said. “We will see if this helps bring out more cyclists as well as have less cyclists using the sidewalk. If we see this change that will be how we know we have made it more safe.” With construction at Lansdowne Park, there is a temporary lane reduction. Northbound motorists are currently not supposed to pass cyclists, but Chernushenko said many do and the situation becomes more difficult as the northbound curbside lane over the Bank Street Bridge is currently closed due to construction on the east side of Bank Street.

The councillor said this has left many cyclists feeling squeezed out and not safe, and has led to some taking the sidewalk instead. To fix this, without creating designated bike lanes, all existing “Share the Road” signage on the Bank Street Bridge will be changed to “Single File”. Motorists are no longer allowed to share the space with cyclists and are instead expected to follow behind cyclists in single file. Also, speeds for the bridge will be reduced to 20 kilometres per hour. The bike “sharrows” will be visible on a green background and will be placed in the middle of the south-

��

An avid cyclist himself, Chernushenko said although this is not as ideal as a segregated lane, this should help keep cyclists safe along this stretch of the road. To ensure motorists obey the new speed limit, Chernushenko said he will be placing a speed display board on the bridge. Once Lansdowne Park completes its construction in the fall, and all northbound lanes along the bridge are reopened, Chernushenko said the “super sharrows” will be placed along that curbside lane too.

Since 2002, more than 700,000 visitors have taken advantage of Doors Open Ottawa, a free annual event that provides insider access to buildings such the Embassy of the Republic of Armenia, the Royal Canadian Mint and the Ottawa Police Service building. The event will unlock the doors of normally offlimit buildings such as ambassadorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homes and the Britannia Water Purification Plant. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tour, on June 7 and 8, will feature more than 120 buildings. The Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital of Eastern Ontario will participate in the event as part of its 40th birthday celebration. Residents are invited to take a behindthe-scenes look at the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;cutting-edgeâ&#x20AC;? research and visit labs, surgical suites, a butterfly garden as well as a chance to check out its famous Karsh portraits. Visitors can select from a variety of modes of transportation: walking, driving, cycling â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Doors Open Ottawa will provide a free shuttle bus, which will offer stops within walking distance of 50 buildings on the tour.

For some residents, the day will present an opportunity to learn about other cultures or religions by visiting buildings such as Blessed Sacrament Church, the Greek Orthodox Church, the Hindu Temple of Ottawa-Carleton, the Ottawa Main Mosque, or the Protection of the Holy Virgin Russian Orthodox Church. Those interested in exploring the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rich history are in for a treat, with the option of visiting several local museums such as the Billings Estate Artefact Collection, the Commissariat â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Bytown Museum, or check out the Diefenbunker: Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cold War Museum. Those with an artistic yen should check out buildings like the Standard Bread Company/Gladstone Clayworks Co-op Pottery Studio, the Studio of Canadian landscape artist Gordon Harrison, or the National Gallery of Canada. Mayor Jim Watson hit the nail on the head when he referred to the tour as an opportunity to experience first-hand some of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s architectural treasures. Organizers say this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s buildings are an â&#x20AC;&#x153;eclectic mix of modern and heritage architecture.â&#x20AC;? We should never take our history and culture for granted, and Doors Open Ottawa is a chance to experience these things first-hand.

Life is turning into a series of beeps

y friend and I bumped into each other at the gym and were discussing what it needed. There was the usual list of complaints, despite the fact that it is a very nice gym. Then he said something that struck me. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to get rid of the beeps,â&#x20AC;? he said. From that moment, I began hearing beeps that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never heard before. This gym, like other gyms has machines that beep. They beep when you change settings. Because they are spiffy new machines â&#x20AC;&#x201C; treadmills, bicycles, ellipticals and the like â&#x20AC;&#x201C; there are lots of settings to change. You can change the speed, the incline, the degree of difficulty, the type of readout. You can turn the TV on and off and change the channels. If you increase to six miles per hour from one mile per hour, the machine will beep for every 10th of a mile. They arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that loud. If you never think about beeps, they probably donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t annoy you. Once you start thinking about them, they do. Sorry to make you think about them. We are so used to beeps in our lives that we may have forgotten to ask why they are there. What favour is the machine doing for

(Others honk â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even worse.) Gas pumps beep when we select a grade of gasoline. Phones beep when we press a number. Maybe we need to be informed that we pushed a button. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because, in another triumph of modern design, buttons have been made so that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t click down when we push them. But we shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need that favour, should we, because machines have a visual display that tells us we pushed a button. In the gym, you know without a beep that you just increased your speed. My friend was thinking that it would

probably take a technician from the treadmill company to make the beeps go away, so it was unlikely to happen. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no surprise. Even when we have the power to make the beeps go away, we rarely take advantage of them. We seem to want a noise that tells us when thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s email, even though we can see the icon on the screen. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to stop your car from honking when you lock it, but most people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bother, which is yet another reason why shopping centre parking lots are among the least pleasant places on the planet. The sad fact, really sad to my friend, is that we have become a beep-addicted society. The number of devices that beep grows every day and our efforts to control them are laughably ineffective. There is no will to do it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no surprise, is it, that the federal government is giving in to those who demand that their electronic devices be available to them at every possible second on airplanes. Transport Minister Lisa Raitt announced last week that passengers will be able to use their portable electronic devices during takeoff, ascent, descent and landing flights, as long as the devices are in non-transmitting, or flight, mode. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you think about it,â&#x20AC;? she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;here you

Nurturing your personal network

apologize for the brevity of this column, but I have to leave town suddenly for a funeral. We knew the day was coming, but we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know when. Funerals have a funny way of catching you offguard, even when you think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re prepared. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not easy to cancel an entire week of oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often what has to be done. So far, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve cancelled specialist doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appointments, a final group music lesson, a surprise goingaway party I was meant to be hosting and most of my scheduled work for the next month. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no way to book a discounted flight in advance, so the next step is generally

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse sorting out overpriced travel and accommodation. I got lucky with a rental car deal and a relative who was happy to let me crash in the spare room. Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s childcare and work schedules. Oh, and work. For all the flexibility of a freelance career, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really not flexible at all. The main problem? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m irreplaceable. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean that in a preten-

tious way. In fact, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a negative thing. If I need to pick up and leave for any reason at all, there is no one who can just pick up the pieces of my work and take over. I have no team. I remember hearing a story several years ago about a freelance newspaper editor who put together a weekly in the late â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s. She went into early labour with her first

child. It was the evening before the paper was due to go into production. On her way to the hospital, she stopped by the office, copyedited every single item, laid out the copy and then called an ambulance. Some may see this as admirable. I see it as crazy. We live in a society where independence is celebrated and seemingly desired. Fewer people marry; more people live alone; in our hearts we fancy independent home ownership over cooperatives and individual patents over team wins. But in so many ways, we need each other. And we need to offer ourselves to others whenever possible. I heard a great sermon

a few weeks ago, which reminded me that we are all part of a carefully crafted mosaic. Often we never realize the impact our small or big actions will have on another person. Sometimes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only many years later that we come to understand a simple phone call or a gift has changed anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life profoundly. As I check and doublecheck my still half-empty suitcase for tomorrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s journey â&#x20AC;&#x201C; do I have shoes, shirts and jewellery that coordinate? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the more profound understanding is that, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at times like this I realize the importance of having a network of friends and family: People who are willing to provide extra meals and ad

hoc childcare while momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out of town; those who can take on an editing project for me at the last minute; the ones that offer to pick up groceries or take the kids to their soccer games. Nurturing these relationships and being available to others is a priority for me in my life. People need people and we all have something amazing to offer. (I tend to make soup). Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s through the depths of our generosity that we nurture deeper relationships. The deeper the relationships, the more likely we are to have someone to turn to in our own time of need. Not only that, but our simple actions may even alter the course of someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life forever â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we just never know.

The City of Ottawa has initiated a study that will develop a functional plan for a cycling facility along the Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor Street corridor. The goal is to develop a Cross-town Bikeway that would link Confederation Boulevard (at Wellington Street), the Central Business District, Centretown and the Glebe. The Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor Street Bikeway is classiďŹ ed by the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Transportation Master Plan as a spine route and identiďŹ ed in the Ottawa Cycling Plan as a Phase 1 Cross-town Bikeway project to be completed between 2014 and 2019. The study focuses on the Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor Street right-of-way from Wellington Street to Glebe Avenue. Opportunities for cycling segments along Metcalfe Street will also be evaluated.

Protect Yourself and Prevent the Bite! Warm weather has arrived and outdoor adventure has begun. Ottawa Public Health (OPH) is reminding residents and visitors to be cautious of unwanted company who may latch on for a free ride – ticks. Ticks vary in size and colour depending on their age and feeding status. While Ontario is home to a numb e r of different species of ticks, it’s the black-legged tick (Ixodes scapularis; also called the deer tick) that we have to worry about as it can carry or spread the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi that causes Lyme Disease (LD). Though not all black-legged ticks are infected with Borrelia burgdorferi, those that are infected must be attached to their human host for a minimum of 24 hours for the bacteria to be transferred into the human blood stream hence the importance of catching it early. Symptoms of LD usually begin three days to one month after being bitten by an infected tick. Individuals that acquire LD often develop a round, red rash that slowly expands away from the tick bite resembling a “bull’s eye” pattern. Other ﬂu-like symptoms include – fever, chills, fatigue, headache, muscle and joint pain. If left untreated, LD can cause neurological symptoms, rheumatologic symptoms or cardiac abnormalities weeks to years after onset. As a result, residents are encouraged to see their doctor if they think they might have contracted LD. Ticks hide in tall grasses or shrubs and crawl onto human or animal hosts when given the opportunity. Humans, dogs, birds and deer populations are all ideal hosts for ticks.

As well, help make your environment less favourable to ticks: • Keep the grass in your yard mowed; • Remove brush and fallen leaves from the edges of property, especially if your yard borders a wooded area or ﬁelds of tall grass; • Reduce the attraction of small critters such as mice and voles by cleaning up areas under and around bird feeders; • Discourage deer from entering your yard, as ticks also feed on these animals; • Place children’s play structures away from wooded areas. By following these simple tips, you can better enjoy outdoor adventures with your family and friends. In the event a tick bites you, follow these steps to effectively remove it: 1. Using tweezers, grasp the ticks head as close to the skin as possible and pull slowly until the tick is removed. Do not twist, squeeze or rotate the tick. Do not use a match, lotion or anything else on the tick. 2. Place the tick in an empty pill vial or zip-lock bag with a moistened paper towel. 3. Wash your bite site with soap and water.

To avoid tick bites, take these easy steps to protect yourself and your family:

If you have a “tick key”, you can:

• Apply an approved insect repellent containing DEET to exposed skin and clothing;

2. Slide the tick into the specially tapered slot.

• Wear long pants, a long sleeved shirt, shoes and socks to avoid exposed skin; • Tuck pants into socks; • Wear light coloured clothing; • Stay to trails and avoid walking in the long grass; • Check yourself, children and pets for ticks, pay special attention to the scalp, groin, armpits, and behind the knees.

1. Place the key over the tick in the tear-drop hole.

3. Pull the key away from the skin. The tick should come out easily. Disinfect your tick key after each use. Ticks that have bitten humans may be submitted for testing to OPH, by appointment. As this is a surveillance and identiﬁcation program only, results may not be available for a number of months. Your physician conducts all clinical case management relating to your tick exposure. For more information or questions regarding tick submissions and Lyme disease, please visit ottawa.ca/LymeDisease or contact Ottawa Public Health at 613-580-6744 (TTY: 613-580-9656).

Computer enthusiasts mix passion for tech, giving back Group to hold second annual public e-waste disposal event Erin McCracken

erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - Jeff Dubois’s voice radiates crystal clear over the telephone. But, given his passion for

computer technology, which began in the late 1980s, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that he doesn’t use a regular telephone landline to make a call. In a recent telephone inter-

view with the Ottawa South News, he piped his voice over the Internet, by way of voiceover Internet protocol or VOIP. “I have not paid a telephone bill in about seven years, relying instead on free VOIP alternatives,” said Dubois, who sits on the board of directors for the non-profit Ottawa PC Users’ Group. Dubois’ passion for technol-

ogy is shared by other members of the not-for-profit group, and for that reason they enjoy learning from one another and other high-tech experts during the group’s monthly meetings. Their presentations at the Canada Science and Technology Museum are free of charge for the public and run the gamut on topics, from ebook technology to 3D printing to video editing. Given the constantly evolving nature of technology, there is never a shortage of high-tech topics to choose from, said Dubois. “It changes so rapidly and it is so vast and all-encompassing that no, that is never an issue,” he said. But as passionate as members of the Ottawa PC Users’ Group are about discussing desktop computers and a diverse array of computer-related applications, issues and news, they also enjoy giving back to the community. “It’s more than just a bunch of people with plastic pocket protectors and Band-aids on their glasses sitting about talking about transfer rates and gigabytes,” said Dubois, who sits on the group’s board of directors as public relations chair. “We’re more than that.” In addition to their December silent auction of donated technology, which last year raised funds for the Ottawa Food Bank, the group will host their second annual e-waste collection event at the museum prior to the start of its June 11 meeting. The public is welcome to drop off unwanted electronics, including desktop and portable computers, monitors, televisions, keyboards, hard drives, printers, photocopies and typewriters, telephones, radios and speakers, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. The public is also invited to attend the group’s free meeting which gets under way after the e-waste event at 7:30 p.m. in

Nepean resident Jocelyn Doire, left, and Alta Vista resident Jeff Dubois from the Ottawa PC Users’ Group, prepare to unload an old monitor and VCR ahead of the non-profit group’s public e-waste collection event at the Canada Science and Technology Museum on June 11. the museum’s auditorium. The presentation will go until 9 p.m., and attendees will break up into smaller discussion groups until 10 p.m. The PC organization, which dates back to 1982, boasts around 150 members, most them from the Ottawa area, and they range in age from their early 30s to early 70s. “We have people who work in high tech and we have people who attend who have very limited knowledge, which is why they attend,” said Dubois, an Alta Vista resident and retired aerial and underwater photographer. Members aren’t satisfied with keeping their high-tech knowledge to themselves. In fact, their motto is ‘users helping users.’ For this reason, they present between 60 and 80 free weekly public educational workshops at Ottawa Public Library branches across the city, on topics ranging from social media and digital photography to the Linux open-source operating system and securing home

networks. Despite what Dubois calls “gloomsday” predictions of the demise of the desktop computer, he and other group members remain loyal fans of this device. “When you look at things like tablets and smartphones, they’ll never replace the desktop, at least not in the immediate future, because they lack an effective input device (such as a keyboard),” said Dubois, who owns five desktops as well as a tablet, and several other devices, and operates his own email server. “I always joke ... that (tablets are) wonderful devices, but you wouldn’t want to write War and Peace on one,” he said with a laugh. “Can you imagine trying to type large amounts of data into an onscreen keyboard?” The group’s outdoor ewaste drop-off zone on June 11 will be under a tent to the left of the entrance of the Canada Science and Technology Museum, located at 1867 St. Laurent Blvd.

City reducing consultation on site plans Changes aimed at ‘meaningful’ input, standardized oversight Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - The city is reducing public consultation requirements for certain small-scale

residential developments. The changes relate to an update on how the city handles site plan applications – a more onerous review it requires developers to go through if they

want to build something bigger or more involved than something like a single-family home. The site plan bylaw changes endorsed by the planning committee on May 28 would reduce the types of development applications that would require neighbours to be notified. The goal is to make public consultation more meaningful, said Michael Mizzi, the city’s

chief of development review services. “(It’s) so that we’re not notifying everyone about every small little development that only requires a building permit,” Mizzi said. “We want the public consultation to be meaningful. If we are going to draw people out to a community consultation meeting on their evenings and their time off, it’s to review something that their input is going to help us make changes to the process that are meaningful.” Mizzi said Ottawa has more public consultation requirements for site plan applications than many other Ontario municipalities. “Many municipalities don’t require any consultation related to site plan. Ottawa does,” he said. For residential development, there will no longer be a public consultation requirement for four-unit developments, which will drop the city fees from $19,903.78 to $6,181.78 for a savings of $13,722 for developers. But the change isn’t really aimed at saving builders money – it’s a way to regain control, said Geraldine Wildman, the city planner in charge of recommending the changes. “We’ve had plenty of con-

cern raised in the infill areas of the city where we know of some of this development where you’re creating units in a backdoor kind of a way. The conversions really can result in some poor design,” Wildman said. “So we’re going to make sure we’re going to implement the new rules that speak to residential development equally, whether you’re doing a new building, an addition or a conversion.” The changes should make it easier for developers to play by the rules, Wildman said. “Developers are clever. We are now seeing a surge in people building triplexes with unfinished basements. They come back in after they complete the fourth unit anyhow,” she said. “We’re trying to gain more compliance up front.” Consultation will still be needed for residential buildings of five or more units. A staff site plan review is required for buildings containing three or four units.But some smaller developments will no longer require a site plan review – specifically, a threedoor townhouse row.There are only so many ways to design something like a threeunit row, Mizzi said, so there aren’t many ways planners can

suggest changing or improving those types of developments. “We want to free up our staff to have value added for the more complex and bigger applications,” he said. “It’s clear we don’t add a lot of value or make a lot of change in the process for really small, non-impactful applications.” Requiring the more onerous site-plan process for three-door townhouse rows was actually making that form of housing go extinct in Ottawa, Wildman said. “Everybody is doing a single beside a semi-detached dwelling now, so that’s the new format,” she said. Residential singles, semis, duplexes, triplexes, garden suites and secondary dwelling units are already exempt from the site-plan process. The change will save homebuilders a $19,903.78 city fee and an estimated $50,000 or so in professional services that the developer would have had to contract in order to prepare the application. “Undoubtedly we’ll remove a significant cost from the process for them,” Mizzi said. For non-residential buildings, site plan review will be required for buildings over 300 square metres. The goal is freeing up city staff time so they focus their efforts on the more complicated, big-ticket developments. Where the lot is located will also now make a difference for commercial development. If the property is in a “design priority area,” an environmental protection zone or close to the under-construction lightrail line, that development will now require site plan approval. “It’s a way to establish more design control on those sites,” Wildman said. Mizzi said the change might also make a minor dent in improving the planning department’s ability to hit deadlines on processing at least the most complicated applications – something that came up as an issue at a recent planning committee meeting.

70th Anniversary of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy – Remembering Their Sacrifice

Seventy years ago on June 6, 1944, Canadian and Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy. Triumph in the Normandy campaign changed the course of the Second World War and ensured victory in Europe, but it came at a terrible cost of many lives lost. As we mark the 70th Anniversary of D-Day, let us pause for a moment and show gratitude to these brave troops and remember their sacrifice. We owe our freedom to these heroic Canadians.

Kathryn Culliton – River Ward Heroine

Congratulations to Kathryn Culliton on receiving the Lifesaving Society Rescue Award of Merit at a ceremony that took place prior to the May 28, 2014 City Council meeting. Last December, Kathryn acted quickly and saved the life of a choking child on an OC Transpo bus. Congratulations for your quick actions and decisive leadership Kathryn. Bravo!

Mural coming to Bingham Park Community meeting discusses history, design Michelle Nash

Michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - One of the city’s oldest parks will get a splash or two of paint this month. Bingham Park’s field house has been chosen to receive funding for a mural through Crime Prevention Ottawa’s Paint it Up! program. The Lowertown Community Association partnered with the Youth Services Board Ottawa to paint the mural and has received a $7,000 grant for the project. To discuss the mural project with the community, the Lowertown Community Association held a community information session on May 26. Organized by association board member Michael Kirkpatrick, the evening included an opportunity for residents to share their ideas of what could be included in the design.

the tools and the experience to help the young artists paint the mural. One of the organization’s lead graffiti artists, Mike Davis, attended the meeting to go over the process of creating a mural with the group. “We will take as many ideas as we can and we hope to satisfy everyone,” Davis said. The ultimate goal, Davis added, is to make sure the kids painting the mural have a say in the design. “Getting the kids involved is the most important thing,” Davis said. Davis said he will meet with the youth to talk about the community and what they would like to see in the mural. The anti-graffiti program brings artists, the community and youth together to create a graffiti-style mural. The goal is to place the mural in an area of the neighbourhood typically targeted by graffiti tagging. The applicants requested the south side of the city-run community centre building and the centre’s pool as the location for the mural. Placing a mural on this spot, according to Crime Prevention Ottawa, is a way to help discourage graffiti in the future. Park celebration

Dekker focused on affordability Ottawa West News Staff

News - Progressive Conservative candidate Rob Dekker says his stance on making living costs more affordable will resonate with Ottawa Centre voters. The rising cost of hydro is a big deal for residents of the riding, Dekker said. The PCs plan to cut subsidies for green energy amounting to $20 billion a year and restructure hydro corporations. “(Not) having the sticker shock of opening up a bill every month – we see that as being a real plus in helping the residents of Ottawa Centre make sure they have an affordable lifestyle,” Dekker said. A job-creation strategy to create a one-on-one ratio for apprenticeships for students coming out of college trade programs is another PC priority that’s resonating with local voters, Dekker said. “It will allow them to get into the workforce a lot sooner,” he said. Dekker also touted a plan the PCs claim will create a million new jobs over eight years. Aside from the party’s platform, the Golden Triangle resi-

Rob Dekker is running for the second time in Ottawa Centre for the Progressive Conservatives. dent said he’s just as interested in social justice issues related to affordability. As president of the board of Daybreak Non-Profit Supportive Housing, Dekker said he’s seen the administrative burden on shelters increase under the Liberals. Streamlining the organizational oversight needed for supportive housing is something Dekker said he’d tackle if elected. Dekker is banking on voters tiring of the Liberal government’s spending and instead

turning towards a platform that he feels will make difference to the average citizen’s bank account. Dekker was the third-place candidate with 18.3 per cent of the vote in the 2011 election, but he thinks voters are looking for a change this time around. “We have heard that the broader issues are what people are looking at,” Dekker said. “People do say they like (Liberal MPP Yasir Naqvi), but they don’t like what the Liberal party has been doing.” Dekker has been a board member of the Centretown Citizens Community Association, a member of the city’s roads and cycling advisory committee and he led fundraising efforts for the Kids Help Phone for three years. “If people look at my profile, they know what I’ve done, they know my commitment to working in the community through whatever I’ve done,” he said. “That commitment is just going to continue if elected as the MPP.” Dekker, 53, is a sales manager and distributer for a Thorold, Ont.,-based company that turns organic waste into agricultural fertilizer.

McKenzie sets sights on environment

Naqvi says he’s a strong voice for Ottawa Centre Ottawa West News Staff

News - Liberal candidate Yasir Naqvi says he’ll continue to push local issues onto the provincial agenda if re-elected as Ottawa Centre MPP on June 12. The two-term representative said he and his Liberal counterparts in other Ottawa ridings have been successful in setting that agenda. Case in point: land-use planning, Naqvi said. Public input in the development process was a huge issue for his constituents, Naqvi said, so he held some consultations on the issue, which led to provincial consultations. Now, a regulatory change aimed at making developers more responsive to community input is part of the Liberal platform. “It was our lead. It was our charge,” said Naqvi, 41. Naqvi, who moved to Canada in 1988 after the Pakistani government imprisoned his father for leading a pro-democracy march, said he pushed for other local priorities to be specifically highlighted in the

Liberal’s provincial platform. A $65 million commitment to the second phase of the Ottawa River cleanup plan was in the budget that felled his government and remains an important part of the platform, Naqvi said. His party has also been quick to provide funding for Ontario’s portion of the city’s $2.1 billion light-rail project and the second phase to extend that rail line further west is also a Liberal priority, Naqvi said. The Liberals want to spend $14 billion on transit on a percapita basis outside the Greater Toronto Area and Hamilton in the next decade, Naqvi said. “Obviously Ottawa is a very big part of that,” he said. Naqvi is also focused on making changes to education development charges to give school boards flexibility to use that tax money on repairs and improvements instead of only on capital land purchases. His other focuses are bringing well-paying jobs to the city through partnerships with companies and creating an Ontario retirement pension plan,

Liberal party incumbent Yasir Naqvi is seeking a third term at Queen’s Park representing the Ottawa Centre riding . since many employees don’t have workplace pensions, he said. Naqvi was first elected as Ottawa Centre MPP in 2007 and was appointed minister of labour in 2013 and minister of community safety and corrective services this year. He has sat on the board of directors for the Centretown Community Health Centre and has been co-chairman of the Capital Food Bank Blitz since 2005. He lives in Carleton Heights with his wife, Christine McMillan, and their young son, Rafi.

News - The environment – from cleaning up the Ottawa River to promoting cycling – will be the big issue in the June 12 provincial election, said NDP candidate Jennifer McKenzie. “The environment is a huge concern for the people of Ottawa Centre,” she said. “We’re not a car-centric area at all and we’re very conscientious and concerned about the environmental legacy and impact we’re leaving to children and youth.” It’s a cause she supported as a seven-year Ottawa-Carleton District School Board trustee and as board chairwoman for two years, and she would continue to do that as MPP, she said. The 51-year-old first-time candidate said the New Democrats are “fully on board” with the Ottawa River Action Plan. A cross-province plan for cycling infrastructure, wider bicycle lanes and transit are all priorities for the NDP, she said. Poverty and affordability

are also emerging as important issues to voters, depending on where she canvasses, said McKenzie, who worked as an electrical engineer for 20 years. “As a school trustee, I do see the impact of poverty on families and children,” McKenzie said. “As costs go up, their incomes aren’t going up and that just makes life very, very stressful.” The NDP has set its sights on “mismanagement” of hydro as a way to tackle the affordability issue, McKenzie said. While the party is fully on board with the Liberal Green Energy plan and actually supports higher targets for sustainable power generation, McKenzie said “bad decision making” has hiked hydro costs. The NDP released its platform after McKenzie’s interview, pledging to remove the provincial portion of the HST off hydro bills, merge four hydro agencies and repeal the debt retirement charge.

Ottawa West News EMC - Thursday, June 5, 2014

News - Ontario’s deputy Green party leader, Kevin O’Donnell, says his critical eye for detail will create better solutions for Ottawa Centre. It will be O’Donnell’s second time facing off against incumbent Liberal Yasir Naqvi and the 38-year-old Green candidate is looking to better his result of 4.2 per cent of the vote to Naqvi’s 47 per cent in the last round. O’Donnell is known to municipal government watchers as a reasoned critic and founder of OttWatch – an online platform that helps residents track policy changes and development applications – but he began in provincial politics when he walked into a campaign office to volunteer. O’Donnell said he got involved in the Green party because he didn’t see his values reflected at Queen’s Park: congestion charges and “honest” conversations about paying for transit. Locally, O’Donnell sees child poverty as a major issue he wants to tackle. “Parts of Ottawa Centre are relatively affluent but all

Submitted

Green candidate Kevin O’Donnell says safe streets are a priority. through the riding, not focused in any one place, there are families that struggle and there are children in poverty,” he said. The Green party is proposing to double the Ontario Child Benefit and pay for it by shifting money from the Clean Energy rebate on hydro bills. “We should end a wasteful subsidy and instead focus that money on the most in need,” O’Donnell said. The clean energy rebate is already slated to be phased out in two years, so after that, the

increased child benefit could be maintained by delaying the Liberal plan to take the debt retirement charge off hydro, O’Donnell said. Street safety is also important to Ottawa Centre residents, said O’Donnell, who is a cyclist. Although it’s not in the party’s platform, he’d propose lowering the default speed limit from 50 kilometres per hour to 30 km/h, which would apply where no speed limit signs are posted. “If there is a collision, if the car is going above 30 (km/h), the fatality rates start to skyrocket,” he said. The Green party is committed to funding the Ottawa River Action Plan, O’Donnell said. O’Donnell’s day job is as a computer programmer contractor for Bell Canada; he also runs a small consulting business. He lives in HamptonIona with his family and helps out with the community association there, as well as at his daughter’s school, Churchill Alternative School. He has served as his community’s representative for the city’s study of routes for the western extension of light rail.

Chiarelli touts Liberal transit Jobs, affordability top voter concerns: Denley promise, care for seniors News - Veteran politician Bob Chiarelli is touting his dedication to his community and to seniors as he seeks reelection in Ottawa West Nepean. The Liberal incumbent, who served as minister of energy before the election call, has a long history in west Ottawa, practicing law there for 18 years before being elected to Queen’s Park in 1987. Resigning as an MPP for personal reasons in 1996, Chiarelli served first as regional chair and then mayor of the amalgamated City of Ottawa from 1997 to 2006. He was elected back to Queen’s Park in a 2010 byelection and a general election in 2011. “I work on the philosophy of working harder than other candidates,” said Chiarelli. “I always place priority on serving residents.” Chiarelli referenced past partnerships with other levels of government and community leaders that yielded results, among them the expansion of

Ottawa West-Nepean Liberal candidate Bob Chiarelli says the opposition parties haven’t committed to funding Ottawa’s Phase 2 LRT. Baseline Transitway station, the Queensway-Carleton Hospital, and Algonquin College. Asked what he feels are the big issues this election, Chiarelli singled out jobs and the economy, but placed emphasis on education. “People are concerned with (PC leader Tim) Hudak’s policy of growing class sizes and attacking teachers,” said Chiarelli. “Families are very con-

cerned with class sizes, and not having enough funding to pay for full-day kindergarten.” He added that his government’s 30 per cent tuition reduction for eligible university and college students would be on the chopping block under a PC government. Chiarelli didn’t defend his party’s record, which has come under fire from the opposition. He did, however, level criticism at his election opponents, targeting what he saw as local funding shortcomings in their party platforms - especially when it came to transit. “We had a funding program to allow Phase 2 (of the city’s LRT project) to go ahead,” said Chiarelli. “We had a budget with the funding in hand – neither (opposition) leader will commit that to their platform. Chiarelli said he questions the opposition leaders’ verbal “support” for the project, in the absence of guaranteed funding. He also mentioned the funding for the city’s Ottawa River Action Plan, which was also in the budget that triggered the election.

News - Ottawa West-Nepean Progressive Conservative candidate Randall Denley is returning to challenge Liberal incumbent Bob Chiarelli in the June 12 provincial election. Denley first ran for the PCs in Ottawa West-Nepean in 2011; before that, he served as a long-time columnist for the Ottawa Citizen. After a brief return to journalism following the 2011 election, Denley decided to take on politics fulltime. Denley said his experience examining the policies of various levels of government, coupled with his knowledge of the issues affecting those in the riding, make him a viable representative for their concerns. Energy costs, lack of jobs and excessive government spending and borrowing top those issues, said Denley, adding that the large local population of seniors merits special consideration. “I can’t tell you how many people in their 80s I’ve met,” said Denley. “There are so

many people trying to stay in their homes, and it’s a challenge … Besides their rising power bills, they’re worried that if they need some help, it won’t be there.” Seniors on fixed incomes are impacted the most by rising hydro rates, but a lack of individualized health services is equally concerning, said Denley, promising improvements in home care under a PC government. “It’s a simple philosophy – people should stay in their homes as long as possible – that’s the goal for individuals and for healthcare,” said Denley. “People in this riding tell me (home care) is very spotty… We’ll reduce administrative costs and put more money into it. It doesn’t make sense to keep people in the hospital when they could be cared for at home.” Worry about the economy and the long-term consequences of the province’s debt is prevalent, said Denley. “Families with children aged 18 to 25 are worried about jobs for their kids – can

Many youth are heading west in search of opportunity.” Fostering private-sector growth while reducing hydro rates are key to keeping businesses in operation and young adults in Ontario, he said, adding that economic expansion would increase revenues for the province and allow it to decrease the deficit, and later, the debt. “We really need to focus on people who are working hard but are not being as successful as they’d like, because they can’t find better jobs,” said Denley.

NDP represents a ‘balanced’ choice: Cullen Ottawa West News staff

Submitted

NDP candidate Alex Cullen says his extensive experience makes him a viable choice for Ottawa WestNepean voters.

News – A familiar face in the Ottawa political scene is returning to seek the provincial nod in Ottawa West-Nepean for the New Democratic Party. Alex Cullen, most recently remembered as councillor for Bay Ward from 2000 to 2010, was formerly an MPP for Ottawa West from 1997 to 1999. Elected as a Liberal, Cullen switched parties and has

aligned with the NDP ever since. Before that he served as a councillor for the former regional municipality of Ottawa-Carleton and the old city of Ottawa, and as a public school board trustee. “With my extensive experience in local government and in Queen’s Park, I know the community quite well,” said Cullen, referencing his years of experience “dealing with the province on transit, housing and environmental issues.”

Cullen is also active in the Belltown Community Association, and serves on its executive. At the door, Cullen said there are key, resonating issues he hears regularly, the first being a desire to remove the governing Liberals. “People are dissatisfied with the Liberal record of scandal and waste,” said Cullen. “They’re looking for alternatives and are discouraged by Hudak’s 100,000 job cut promise, and we’re

offering a balanced alternative.” Residents are also struggling with high hydro bills that are poised to go even higher, said Cullen. The NDP has promised to remove the debtretirement charge (which is also a Liberal promise) while also removing the provincial portion of the HST that was applied to hydro bills starting in 2010. That alone would represent an eight percent reduction in the final billing amount. On the economic front, the NDP would offer “a responsible approach” to the province’s finances that “respects tax dollars,” said Cullen. “It’s a positive, balanced program that gets the economy growing, deals with the deficit without slashing services, and invests in services like healthcare and child care,” said Cullen. The NDP platform details the raising of the minimum wage to $12, paid for by a tax cut for small businesses. Efficiencies and savings would be found in government to help balance the province’s books. The $10 billion-plus the province spends on debt interest each year is currently “squeezing” services, said Cullen. “We are in our fifth year of deficit… We need to get out of the fiscal hole the Liberals have put us in.”

Greens seek hydro rate fix, job creation: Hill Ottawa West News staff

News - Alex Hill is returning his name to the ballot for the Green Party of Ontario in the June 12 provincial election. Hill, 23, represents Eastern Ontario on the Green’s board of directors, and ran previously in Ottawa WestNepean in 2011. A former activist for democratic reform, Hill has been an outspoken voice in support of evidence-based policy and democratic engagement. Asked what his qualities for representing his riding were, Hill said his party displays a needed focus on resolving issues and wouldn’t legislate for short-term political gain. “We need to restore a measure of sanity and level-headedness to the legislature, which I think I can bring,” said Hill. Hill said his biggest priority for the riding was tackling issues related to poverty, stating the status quo isn’t working to improve lives. “Raising the minimum wage will only destroy the labour market, raise inflation and not do anything to lift anyone out of poverty,” said Hill,

who is proposing a doubling of the provincial child care benefit and the establishment of a minimum personal income above the poverty line. At the door, Hill said hydro rates and affordability are being raised as the most important issues. He wants to see the subsidization of resident’s bills (the Ontario Clean Energy Benefit) go towards a tax credit that would allow residents and businesses to increase their efficiency. The energy sector under the Greens would see existing nuclear reactors live out their life span while

es represent a large part of Ontario’s workforce, and are “struggling under current regulations.” The exemption would be funded by a “modest increase” in the corporate tax rate, he said. Another Green policy plank that’s getting positive reception, said Hill, is their planned elimination of the separate Catholic school board. Elimination of the province’s $12.5 Billion deficit would occur by 201718 under the Greens, the same time frame outlined in the Liberal and NDP platforms.

not pursuing new contracts or refurbishments (but not cancel any existing contracts). “(Nuclear projects) never come in on budget,” said Hill, adding the Greens would take those saved billions and import green, lower-cost electricity from Manitoba and Quebec.

Redevelopment to be guided by environmental principles Continued from page 1

The principles dictated by the One Planet Community program demand, among other things, that any building constructed must be energy efficient and generate no waste, while the surrounding environment must be respected as much as possible. “It is anticipated that the Chaudiere region will become a showcase of sustainable development, a One Planet Community, and a mixed-use neighbourhood that will be among the most desirable communities in Ottawa-Gatineau,” the rationale states. The land vacated by Domtar in 2007 includes a series of islands in the Ottawa River at the north end of Booth Street, as well as a portion of the Gatineau shoreline. The expansive

site contains a number of buildings, some of which would be incorporated into the development. However, given their advanced age, some buildings aren’t candidates for re-use. “Several buildings will not be able to be restored and are unsafe,” states the rationale. “Given its industrial past, the entire site is heavily contaminated and will require extensive cleanup.” The Ontario lands encompass Chaudiere and Albert islands, with Chaudiere Island split into west and east districts, each containing significant amounts of park space along its shoreline. The concept plan outlined by Windmill shows 13 distinct development blocks on the Ottawa side, and 27 in Gatineau. Within the Ottawa blocks, 11 will

contain residential uses, 10 will contain retail uses, four will have an office component, and one will be used as a hotel. Broken down into percentage of floor area, the site contains 78 per cent residential, five per cent retail, 12 per cent commercial/office, three per cent hotel, and one per cent each for community and cultural areas. A 15-storey tower is proposed for the redevelopment of Chaudiere Island. Also included in the plan is an active transportation network aimed at fostering transit and cycling use – part of the redevelopment plan’s sustainability model. The comment period for the application is underway. Should the Official Plan amendment be passed at later date by city council, the application will update the Lebreton Flats character area in the central area secondary plan

2014 Zoning Review – Phase 2 Notice of Public Information Sessions Why? In 2013 City Council approved new Ofﬁcial Plan policies to create a more liveable Ottawa. To put these policies into action, the Zoning By-law needs to be updated. In some review areas, changes to existing Secondary Plans will also be made to permit the zoning updates to proceed.

Notice of Completion Queen Street Renewal (From Bronson Avenue to Elgin Street) Environmental Study Report

How will this affect me? Zoning affects how land can be used on both public and private properties. It regulates things like types of housing, shops, schools, industries, as well as building heights and building densities. The right zoning will make sure our streets and neighbourhoods develop in ways that encourage vibrant, liveable places for all to enjoy.

The City of Ottawa has completed an Environmental Assessment of the Queen Street Renewal Project. The City has identiﬁed the need to renew Queen Street to upgrade the streetscape and pedestrian environment in anticipation of the commencement of the Confederation Line service. The streetscape/ surface renewal on Queen Street between Bronson Avenue and Elgin Street is being coordinated with the construction of the Confederation Line light rail transit (LRT) through the downtown area. The Recommended Plan will provide one shared-use travel lane in each direction with turning lanes where essential, while providing maximum space for wide sidewalks including opportunities for on-street parking, loading and/or taxi space.

Zoning changes will provide greater certainty for residents, developers, businesses and others, about what to expect when it comes to future development in the review areas.

Western Light Rail Transit Corridor Extension (Lincoln Fields to Bayshore Station) Planning and Environmental Assessment Study Open House #1

Bike advocates seek cycling route Continued from page 1

While route 118 that currently runs on Baseline is considered to be a local route with the stops spaced 150 to 300 metres apart, the future rapid transit would see those stops spaced out to between 300 and 600 metres apart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fewer times the bus stops, the faster it runs,â&#x20AC;? Hopper said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a trade off between having enough bus stops and the speed.â&#x20AC;? That worried Carol Ruel, a Centrepointe resident and bus user, who said depending on the locations of the stops it might become more difficult for her to get to the bus. Bob McCaw of the Fisher Heights and Area Community Association said he likes the plan and the efficient speed of buses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our concern is where the stops are,â&#x20AC;? he said. McCaw was also perplex by why the city wants to end the rapid-transit corridor at Prince of Wales Drive instead of extending it across the Rideau River to connect with the Confederation O-Train station on Heron Road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the west end, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focused on certain terminals, but

at the east end there is no terminal,â&#x20AC;? McCaw said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There has to be a decent connection between these buses and the O-Train, otherwise whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the point of having faster buses?â&#x20AC;? Several people in attendance, including McCaw, were encouraged by the late addition of cycle tracks along Baseline â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a raised bicycle lane along the sidewalk to separate cyclists from vehicular traffic. Andrea Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Agostino of the Queensway-Terrance South Ridgeview Community Association said the multi-modal aspect of the redesigned corridor is appealing to her and makes it more accessible to all users. Hans Moor, president of the local advocacy group Citizens for Safe Cycling and a resident of the area, said the bike route is a great option and the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last chance to create an eastwest cycling route in the area because the city chose to put â&#x20AC;&#x153;sharrowâ&#x20AC;? markings on Meadowlands Drive to indicate that cyclists and motorists should share the lane. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We missed that opportunity ... (Now) Baseline is basically the last opportunity in old Nepean for the next 50

years to build an east-west connection,â&#x20AC;? he said. The first phase of the project, from Prince of Wales to Clyde Avenue, would be widened to six lanes with a dedicated bus lane in each direction. The city might have to acquire a small amount of additional land to widen the road, but most of that width can be accommodated within the existing road right-of-way, said the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manager for the project, Jabbar Siddique. The second phase, between Clyde and Baseline Station, has lower traffic volumes and would remain as a four-lane road with buses mixing with traffic until the traffic counts warrant a change, likely after 2025. The third section completing the route all the way west to Bayshore Station wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen until after 2031 because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not deemed affordable as part of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new transportation master plan last fall. The city has also been planning for a similar format median rapid bus transit lanes on March Road in Kanata North Ward, but that route will likely be built slightly after the Baseline facility, Siddique said.

CHEO celebrates turning 40 with Doors Open Ottawa

Free swimming sessions at six city pools June 7

By Jenna Guilbeault

This year, the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital of Eastern Ontario will be celebrating its 40th year of service to children and youth, and what better way to celebrate than to open its doors to the public during the Doors Open Ottawa event June 7 and 8. CHEO is a world-renowned and cutting-edge pediatric care facility that specializes in research and training and is one of the few independent pediatric hospitals in Canada. CHEO is located at 401 Smyth Road in Ottawa, but they extend their services to communities in Eastern Ontario, Western Quebec, Nunavut and parts of Northern Ontario through their numerous partnerships with organizations such as Ronald McDonald House, Rogerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s House, Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Miracle Network and Compassionate Friends of Canada. CHEO is a teaching hospital that also offers medical support to other doctors in Ottawa institutions and this, in turn, strengthens the quality of care that is offered to children and youth. Each year, CHEO provides more than 6,000 admissions, 7,000 surgeries and 170,000 clinic visits. It houses one of the busiest pediatric emergency rooms in Canada, treating more than 65,000 children and youth a year. CHEO offers

a wide range of specialized programs for youth that focus on disorders such as early language developmental disabilities and autism. CHEOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year by opening its doors during Doors Open Ottawa. You can join a guided tour and get a unique behind-the-scenes look at the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cutting-edge research facilities, surgical suites and the simulation lab. Eva Schacherl, from the communications department at CHEO, says that there will be lot of interesting things for kids and adults to see. There will be child-friendly activities, and parents can experience the human library, where they can sit down one-on-one to talk with a heart surgeon or a brain surgeon, for example. Schacherl says there is a superhero theme within the hospital and she hopes that those who visit CHEO will support that theme â&#x20AC;&#x201C; dressing up as superheroes encouraged! Doors Open Ottawa takes place this year during the ďŹ rst full weekend in June. It celebrates the historically and architecturally signiďŹ cant buildings in the Ottawa area by opening their doors, free of admission, for the public to see. 2014-02-8023-23320_5_en

News - Two people can swim for the price of one at all 21 city pools on June 7 to encourage people to be active on National Health and Fitness Day. The city will offer public swimming completely free of charge for one session at each of six city pools on the same day: Bob MacQuarrie Recreation Complex OrlĂŠans, the Canterbury Recreation Complex, the Lowertown Pool, the Pinecrest Recreation Complex, the Richcraft Recreation Complex and the Kanata Leisure Centre. That final location was a last-minute addition by Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley, who was one of the councillors who jumped on the free-

swimming more regularly, Chenier said, although he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t provide numbers showing whether the promotion made a difference in the number of swimming memberships or day passes purchased afterwards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the three pools (last year) we did see a marginal increase,â&#x20AC;? Chenier said. The real value of the $1,500 the city planned to spend on free swimming in five locations is its promotional value, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Behind all of this is our role in promoting physical activity,â&#x20AC;? Chenier said. OrlĂŠans Coun. Bob Monette said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see the program expanded across the city next year. After a lengthy debate, council approved the promotion unanimously.

Doors Open Ottawa commemorates First World War

UP A NOTCH!

By Jenna Guilbeault

As a way to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the First World War, Doors Open Ontario has chosen WW1 as the theme for the 2014 Ontario-wide Doors Open event season. Doors Open Ottawa, which takes place June 7 and 8, is proud to feature several buildings that tell a story regarding this important time in Canadian history.

The Carleton Masonic Lodge, located at 3704 Carp Road in Stittsville, was originally built as a Presbyterian church in 1904. The great ďŹ re in 1920 damaged much of the interior of the building. When the church was restored, it became the village of Carpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Masonic Lodge in 1925. The lodge is characterized by its original stained glass windows and beautiful oak furniture, which was used by Le Havre, a military Masonic lodge located in France and opened by the Allied Forces during WWI.

Dan Chenier, who is in charge of city recreation, said the pools were chosen to provide a geographical spread and expand from the three locations where free swimming was offered last year for health and fitness day. The selected pools offered the largest capacity to accommodate clients, Chenier said. The goal of the promotion is to get people interested in

During the summer months, it is from here that the Ceremonial Guard departs to perform

the Changing of the Guard ceremony on Parliament Hill. It is also home to the Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa (Duke of Edinburghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Own) and Governor Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Foot Guards, reserve infantry units trained to augment the Regular Army during times of war and peace. The ďŹ nancial services of Diane A. Gagne operate from a Queen Anne Revival style home built in 1905 in Sandy Hill. It had previously been used as the Italian Embassy, the national headquarters of the Victorian Order of Nurses, and was once the family home to WWI aviator Billy Bishop. Bishop, born in 1894, was decorated as Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top ďŹ&#x201A;ying ace after being credited with 72 victories. This house features a spacious foyer, beautiful woodwork and mouldings, and eight ďŹ replaces.

Beaver Chase returns for 21st series Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Sports - Ottawa’s Beaver Chase is up and running for its 21st season, with Run Ottawa holding the event every second Tuesday of the month in north Kanata. The event, which began in 1994, is dubbed a “simple, lowkey and very friendly event,” by one of the founders, and current Run Ottawa events operations manager, Joe Du Vall. The idea was to have a race once a month between May and August that would give both novice and experienced runners a chance to have an event timed and see what it’s like. Now, the Beaver Chase offers six- and two-kilometre races on the Monk Conservation Trail and through the Nordion Canada campus. New this year, the runs will start and finish at the Richcraft Recreation Complex on Innovation Drive. Runners will have access to the bathrooms and lobby, though Du Vall said

Runners participate in last year’s annual Beaver Chase run on May 13 in Kanata. organizers strive to keep as much of the event outdoors as possible. That is a nod to the runs origins. The race has always been close to nature, especially the surprisingly quick critter that gave the event its name. Du Vall said he recalls the

very first race the group held, when the frontrunner was greeted on the Monk Trail by a beaver who wanted to take part. The runner, who was well ahead of the rest of the pack, said the beaver started scurrying alongside him, and eventually overtook him, said

Du Vall. The furry critter eventually stopped by a pond and watched the rest of the runners go by. “Everybody had a good laugh over that,” said Du Vall. After that, the organizers decided to call their event the Beaver Chase Running Series. Du Vall said he encourages runners of all levels to come out and experience the race. “Some people like to come out and run it as fast as they can,” he said. “Others like to come out with their friends and just kind of enjoy the night, run together very semi-serious, but with a bit of a leisure component to it. I would say that’s what we try and encourage.” The race has about 50 to 75 runners taking part in each event, said Du Vall, who hopes the Beaver Chase could grow to up to 125 runners for each race. Participating costs $5 per adult, and $2 for children 16and-under. The next race takes place on June 10. Registration begins prior to the 6:30 p.m. start time of the race.

Lansdowne Park By Jim Watson

Since long before I ran for City Council in Capital Ward in 1991, people had been asking what we should do with Lansdowne Park. It was a historical landmark, on that everyone could agree. But should it be preserved as it is? Should it be renovated? Should it be torn down? These were some of the many questions that were asked about Lansdowne, without answers, from before my time as a Councillor right up until only a few years ago. It was clear that the status quo at Lansdowne was not sustainable. A crumbling stadium surrounded by a sea of asphalt was an eyesore for the city especially when the beautiful Aberdeen Pavilion sat in the middle of it. But what to do? This council inherited a plan that would see Lansdowne Park transformed into a mixed-use facility. The plan needed work and we worked hard to not only improve it but also to get shovels in the ground and implement it so that years of indecision would be behind us. Some people raised concerns about our plan for Lansdowne and I agree that neither the process by which it came about nor the plan itself is perfect. But perfection is the enemy of getting things done. Our plan means a significant improvement and revitalization of Lansdowne and I am thrilled that it is almost complete. On July 18th we will welcome the Ottawa REDBLACKS to the CFL at TD Place for their home opener. The long wait for CFL football to return to Ottawa is now over and I can’t wait to be there to cheer on our team as they push for the Grey Cup. TD Place will also play host to the Ottawa Fury soccer team whose season is already underway as they do our city proud in the North American Soccer League. In August, we will open the urban park at east end of Lansdowne that will see three times more green space (18 acres) than was previously there, four times more trees, 7.2 kilometres of sidewalks and pathways, and five pieces of public art. Lansdowne Park had always been a misnomer because there had never been much park space in it. Now, there will be ample space for people to have a picnic, throw a Frisbee, or just enjoy our beautiful city outdoors. And finally this fall, our retail shops will open. A mix of stores and restaurants both familiar and new will make up this site that will serve to bring people to Lansdowne year-round in addition to providing great options for before and after a game or concert. This promises to be an exciting summer and fall for Lansdowne and for our city. It has been a long time coming but I am happy that Lansdowne Park will once again be a place that Ottawa residents can be proud of. Watch for the official park opening where we will pay tribute to Lansdowne’s past with a community celebration on Saturday August 16. R0012711363-0605

Pius Cares hands over cheque to MADD Money raised by students volunteering at Rick Chiarelli’s annual New Year’s Eve party Ottawa West News staff

News - St. Pius X High School students showed they care on May 30. St. Pius Cares, a group of students who volunteered at College Coun. Rick Chiarelli’s alcohol-free New Year’s Eve party, handed over an $800

cheque from the proceeds of the sale of refreshments. This year’s theme was pirates and princesses and attracted more than 8,000 people. The event was created by Chiarelli when he was cochairman of the former Nepean council’s anti-impaired

driving project. “The effort was so successful that it became an annual spectacular that continues to this day. But, it could not be done without the generosity and dedication of volunteer groups such as you. Thank you for your continued support of the event,” Chiarelli said. It has been voted “Best place to be on New Year’s Eve” by a CTV Ottawa poll. Activities included free sleigh

rides, music, magic shows, dance showcases, skating parties and of course, the best fireworks show in Ottawa on New Year’s Eve! Many joined in on the theme by attending in pirate and princess costumes, some even won prizes! After twenty-one years it remains one of Ottawa’s most successful anti-impaired driving projects that has been partnered with MADD and OSAID through the years.

Lees Avenue to be closed for 13 weeks

Community Leaders Endorse Chiarelli

Ottawa West News Staff

News - The Lees Avenue underpass will be removed and replaced starting June 16, closing the road for 13 weeks. There will also be a full closure of Highway 417 for one night in June. The Old Ottawa East road will be shut down between Chapel Crescent and the Transitway to allow for the removal and replacement of the underpass. Motorists will be detoured onto Main Street and Greenfield Avenue instead. Pedestrians and cyclists can take that route or the Rideau River pathways

“Many of us have seen Bob in action in a very public way. But I’ve had opportunity to see a very different side of Bob. When my son Brent, who lives with mental illness needed help, Bob Chiarelli was able to help us resolve our challenge with government and set things right. It meant so much to my son and I to have someone care enough to listen, study, and reﬂect on one constituent’s problem. As much as Bob cares about this community, HE CARES ABOUT AN INDIVIDUAL PROBLEM AND HE DOES THIS FOR PEOPLE EVERY DAY. I am thankful for Bob and I am thrilled to be able to support him as we need him representing us.” SHERRY FRANKLIN | Community Leader

“BOB CHIARELLI HAS DELIVERED FOR THE CITY OF OTTAWA, and in particular west-end residents in spades. As a municipal Councilor representing Bay Ward at City Hall, I know that I can count on Bob always fighting on behalf of this City and local residents at Queen’s Park. From important local community projects like the Britannia Village flood protection or fighting for major new public transit dollars for the City, Bob Chiarelli delivers.”

Jobs, education, energy hot points in Ottawa West-Nepean debate Jennifer McIntosh

don’t go far enough. “Our students are coming out of university with a lot of debt,” he said. “Our party plans to remove the provincial interest on student loans and freeze tuition.” Energy costs were a key feature in the debate as well, with Chiarelli again on the defensive over the Green Energy Act and rising hydro rates. Chiarelli said the system the Liberals inherited in 2003 required investment, but relief programs have provided some assistance to low income families and seniors. Denley said hydro bills will rise 42 per cent over the next five years. “That’s a huge blow to seniors in our riding,” Denley said. “What I am hearing at the doors is that they just can’t afford it.” Hill said energy conservation is the key. He said the other parties are competing for votes by promising to make energy cheaper. Cullen said NDP will remove HST from energy bills and get rid of the debt retirement charge.

R0012729703/0605

News - Incumbent Liberal candidate for Ottawa WestNepean Bob Chiarelli called the Progressive Conservative plan to cut 100,000 public sector jobs “scary” during a debate that aired on Rogers May 22. Jobs were a big part of the debate. Randall Denley, the PC candidate, took some fire for his party’s “million jobs plan” and conceded that no one knows how many jobs the plan will actually create. For his part, Chiarelli said some public sector job cuts would be necessary. “Maybe some job cuts are necessary,” Chiarelli said. “They probably are. But 100,000 in two or three years is absolutely irresponsible.” Chiarelli took fire from NDP candidate Alex Cullen and Alex Hill from the Green Party for his government’s fiscal mismanagement. But Chiarelli said he is proud to bring the Liberal’s current budget to Ontarians. He said the PC’s “slash and

burn” plan really only means paying off the deficit a year earlier. He stood by his party’s investments in healthcare and education – heralding the opening of new hospitals, as well as a 30 per cent reduction in college and university tuitions. But Denley called the tuition cuts a vote buyer, and defended his party’s plan to reduce the amount of educational assistance. “Ideally, we’d have three teachers in each classroom, but that just not realistic,” he said. Hill said the reason we are struggling to fund classrooms is because of the many different boards of education. He said it would be part of his party’s plan to merge the Catholic and public boards and redirect those funds to students. “There are social and fiscal reasons for not funding the Catholic system,” Hill said, adding the board’s discrimination against the homosexual community is just one reason it shouldn’t be funded. Cullen said the tuition cuts

also have a truck on hand for kids to climb all over. Mechanicsville Day was a long-running tradition in the early days of the working-class community, but over time that tradition faltered. The re-emergence of the community association in late 2012 led to the return of

Mechanicsville Day last summer. The MCA and SWCHC gained the support of several businesses and the Hintonburg Economic Development Committee in organizing the event. Mechanicsville Day runs 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on June 14.

Challenge aims to create long-term solutions Michelle Nash

michelle.nash@metroland.com

Ingredients

• 500 ml (2 cups) quartered strawberries • 125 ml (1/2 cup) granulated sugar • 750 ml (3 cups) vanilla ice cream • 2 meringue nests, coarsely chopped (about 1-1/2 cups/375 ml) • 125 ml (1/2 cup) finely chopped dark chocolate • 4 large strawberries • 4 fresh mint leaves Preparation instructions

Place large glass bowl or metal bowl in freezer. In medium saucepan, over medium-high heat, combine quartered strawberries and

sugar, cook stirring until sugar starts to dissolve and juice begins to release, about three minutes. Reduce heat to medium; simmer for 15 minutes or until strawberries can be crushed easily with back of spoon. Transfer to shallow heatproof dish; refrigerate for 30 minutes or until cool. (Sauce can be made two days in advance and refrigerated.) Remove bowl from freezer; add ice cream. Working quickly, coarsely break up ice cream. Add meringue, chocolate and 1/2 cup (125 mL) of

the strawberry sauce; lightly combine ingredients. Scoop one-quarter of the ice cream mixture (approx 1 cup/250 mL) into each bowl; top each with 1 tbsp (15 mL) remaining strawberry sauce. Garnish with whole strawberry and mint leaf. Serve immediately. Tip: For a make-ahead idea use Mason jars, seal with the lid and store in the freezer. Simply top with a little strawberry sauce and serve on a moment’s notice.

News - The Community Foundation of Ottawa is offering $125,000 to an organization which aims to solve this city’s food security issue. The foundation announced the launch of the New Leaf Community Challenge and the grant funding at one of the city’s Good Food Markets, at the Nanny Goat Hill Community Garden on May 31. The grant will be offered to the group which develops the best approach to improving the community’s access to affordable, nutritious food. According to president of the foundation, Marco Pagani, the group picked food security above other issues such as affordable housing and civic engagement as the first challenge because of the

disturbing trend of residents who rely on food banks. “We feel that helping to provide better access to nutritious, affordable food is definitely the right place to start,” Pagani said. According to the Community Foundation of Ottawa, currently more than 75,000 people in Ottawa worry they don’t have enough food to feed themselves or their families due to finances and living situations. The plan is for the winning organization to find a longterm solution to the problem. Established in 1987, the foundation connects donors with causes. It has served as a resource for people who address issues and concerns and aims to make new opportunities available for communities in need. Currently managing assets in excess of $100 million, it

has provided more than $70 million in grants to the community since its inception. In the past the foundation has funded many small initiatives to help improve food security, engage citizens and work at making affordable housing a reality. Following the launch, organizations and partnering groups will have until Sept. 15 to submit a proposal for a project that will offer to create sustainable change in the area of food security and access to nutritious, affordable food in Ottawa. The foundation will pick three top projects who will present to a jury at a live community event in the fall where the top-ranked proposal will be awarded the grant.

Emerson insists on proper burial for animals www.sdic.ca

merson was having no part of it! Ronny and Terry had come from Montreal for their usual long summer holidays, and Ronny, just as aggressive as Emerson, insisted he was quite capable of playing a leading role in burying the dead bird. Emerson was high on burying anything that had died on the farm, and having what he called a proper funeral. He drew the line on the long list of farm animals that ended up in our smoke house and on the old pine table at meal time. Thank goodness, or we would be having a funeral service every few days! What he called a proper send-off was saved for birds, squirrels, or anything else that roamed the large acreage that was our farm at Northcote and which had passed on for one reason or another. He was known to drag a

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories dead groundhog a half mile to give it a proper service. Now, the service usually included us five children standing, (although my sister Audrey, the oldest was getting less and less enamoured with the whole idea) around in solemn wonder as Emerson said a few words, put the deceased in a shallow hole, covered it up, stuck a twig in the mound, and then we were supposed to stand and meditate for at least a full three minutes, which Emerson measured off by counting backwards. That Saturday the dead bird was discovered in the

barn yard, and Emerson didn’t take long to announce that we should all gather behind the silo as soon as we finished our breakfast. Ronny said he would be glad to help with the service. Emerson said that wouldn’t be necessary, he had the service down pat. Knowing Ronny, he had other plans. Well, Mother wasn’t letting any of us away from the house until the kitchen had been redded up, and that included Emerson pitching in. We all had our special chores, and nothing interfered with Mother’s routine, dead bird, or no dead bird.

Ronny was to take the table scraps out to the back stoop for our old Collie dog Sport, who, like the rest of us, was well aware of our meal-time routine, and was already sitting on the bottom step waiting for whatever morsel was coming his way. As Ronny was heading out the door, Emerson hollered, “We’ll meet at the silo in five minutes.” Finally the red and white oilcloth covered table was wiped clean, the dishes washed, dried and put away, and the floor swept. We all headed for the back door. Audrey couldn’t be coaxed out of the kitchen. “Nonsense...just plain nonsense,” she could be heard muttering. Everything could have been happening in another country as far as Mother was concerned. As long as our chores were done to her liking, she was happy! Emerson always wore his

cap at these ceremonies. I thought that strange since you wouldn’t dare wear a cap in church, and this was supposed to be as close to a church service as you could get without actually going to church. He also took the battered hymn book with him. He would have loved to take the bible which sat in the parlour on the twig table, but Mother drew the line on that! No bible left the house to bury a dead bird. Emerson led us solemnly out of the house, down the back steps and across the front yard towards the silo behind the barn. Little Terry had no idea where he was going, but he sensed excitement in the air, and holding my hand tightly, he skipped along as if we were going to a party. Ronny was already at the site. And it didn’t take a university graduate to figure

out what he had done. There was a soft mound of dirt, and a stick at one end of it, and there stood Ronny standing in solemn wonder with his hands folded in steeple position and his eyes closed. Ronny had buried the bird. Well, Emerson lost all sense of piety, lunged at Ronny, dropped the hymn book, and was about to tear into him when Everett and Earl got a good hold of him and held him back. Ronny had the good sense to head for the house where he knew Mother would never let Emerson lay a hand on him. The rest of us stood around the little mound. I have no idea when he did it, but Ronny had taken a scrap of paper, woven it through the twig at the head of the make-shift grave, and printed in black red crayon, “Goodbye Bird.”

Ottawa City Councillor — Bay Ward

Connected to your community

Ottawa City Councillor — Bay Ward Dear Neighbours, This past month was a busy one! It kicked off with my 4th Annual Mother’s Day Tea. I was pleased to welcome, and I want to say thank-you, to the over 200 guests who attended. If you didn’t make it this year, I hope to see you next year! Woodroffe Traffic: My office was pleased to host a traffic meeting for the residents of Woodroffe North, Woodpark and the Carlingwood area. City staff were on hand to answer questions and provide information on the City’s short term and long term plan for local traffic. You can find a copy of the presentation at www.BayWardLive. ca . Local traffic is everyone’s responsibility, we should all be extra careful and take extra time when driving through our neighbourhoods and watch for children playing. 3 Year Anniversary: We celebrated the anniversary of the opening of Bay Ward’s first Community Office. Over the past three years the office has assisted thousands of residents and allowed them the opportunity to seek assistance about City services closer to home. The office is located in the Foster Farm Community Centre at 1065 Ramsey Crescent.

Councillor Mark Taylor and staff celebrate the Community Office!

Community Cup 2014: This year marks the 10th Anniversary of The Community Cup and I am excited that for the first time Bay Ward will be represented! The Community Cup prides itself on building welcoming communities and making new connections. This year’s Community Cup is taking place on June 28th in Brewer Park. To kick things off, kids from Accora Village, Britannia Woods and Michele Heights will be participating in a pep rally. The pep rally is being held on June 20th in Bayshore Park at 6:00pm.

Giant Tiger’s business philosophy focuses on customer satisfaction, community involvement President says company’s model is one for entrepreneurs to emulate Staff

Community - Since the first Giant Tiger store opened its doors in Ottawa’s ByWard Market in 1961, every step taken has been done with the customer in mind, the company’s president says. By the end of August this year, the company will have 207 stores in communities across Canada, including six new stores. “Our goal is certainly to add store count and continue to grow because we think there’s a lot of markets yet that we’re not in that we think we should be in,” said Greg Farrell, Giant Tiger president and chief operating officer, adding the company regularly receives feedback from customers who would like to see Giant Tiger stores open in their cities. For that reason, Giant Tiger’s business model is one that entrepreneurs can learn from when it comes to achieving success in delivering outstanding customer service and creating an ideal working environment for employees. A key feature of the privately held Canadian company’s business model is profit sharing for the more than 2,000 employees, including at warehouses, franchise stores, the trucking division and home office, which is located at 2480 Walkley Rd. in Ottawa. It encourages those within the Giant Tiger family to work harder and longer for the customers they serve, said Farrell. “Everyone contributes to the success, and everyone, thereby, should share in the success,” he added. That success is reliant on delivering quality products, from fashion and groceries to everyday supplies, at low prices to customers. “Everything is about reducing the cost to get the product onto the shelf and into the customers’ hands. That’s number

one and number two we will never be beat on price,” said Farrell. Giant Tiger’s customers appreciate the company’s many guarantees from providing rainchecks and accepting coupons to offering a satisfaction guarantee, a no-hassle refund policy, which includes no time limits on refunds, as well as price clawbacks and an ad-match guarantee. “The customer has to trust us that we have the best price,” Farrell said. Giant Tiger stores also offer convenience by offering friendly store layouts and accessible parking. The company also strives to deliver affordable fashions for the entire family. “We will match Target’s quality and style but beat them on price,” said Farrell, a Stittsville resident. “We will match Walmart’s price, but beat them on style.” Given the highly completive retail industry, the company’s management team and franchise store owners have built a solid name in a highpressure industry. “It’s all about trying to give confidence to our customer,” Farrell said. His advice to up-andcoming entrepreneurs also includes being clear on your competitive advantage and differentiating your business in the marketplace. “You also have to be willing and able to change and innovate,” he said, adding that the company also maintains its edge by keeping a close watch on competitors. Giant Tiger is also proudly Canadian. Today, there are fewer Canadian companies in the rapidly changing retail sector. “There’s a lot that have gone by the wayside, a couple of regional players that are in bankruptcy protection,” said Farrell. The company also prides itself in giving back to communities. “We have three brand pillars as to how we run our business, and one of them is being connected to our communities, and we think that’s really important,” he said, adding that the ways the company helps range from providing for families in need to supporting local hospital foundations and food banks. Each year, the company donates more than $2 million

Greg Farrell, president and chief operating officer of Giant Tiger Stores Ltd., says the privately held Canadian company’s business model is one that entrepreneurs can find success in emulating.

Giant Tiger Stores remain committed to serving the community, not only by delivering quality products for low prices to consumers, but also by supporting charitable causes. Giant Tiger president and Stittsville resident Greg Farrell was the first to purchase a hat in support of the company’s support for the Soldier On Afghanistan Relay team, which travelled from Trenton, Ont. to Parliament Hill in early May. to charities and organizations across the country. Most recently, eight stores organized free barbecues during the Soldier On Afghanistan Relay in early May that saw wounded personnel travel from Trenton,

“Giving back is not just something we do, at Giant Tiger it is who we are.” For additional information on Giant Tiger, please go online to gianttiger.com, and visit them on Facebook and Twitter.

News - (NC) - Pay it Forward initiatives are popular across Canada. They are successful because they benefit both those who give and those who receive. “The Canadian Youth Business Foundation has its own unique Pay It Forward movement,” says CYBF Mentor in Residence, Linda Morana. “Every day, thousands of business mentors nurture and support the fantastic ideas and energy of Canada’s young entrepreneurs. This is great for the entrepreneurs, but mentors get so much out of it too.” critical

CYBF research finds that a solid mentoring relationship is critical to the success of nearly every business startup. Research shows that 88 per cent of entrepreneurs who have mentors survive in business, compared with only 50 per cent of those who do not. Many successful young entrepreneurs cite “quality, meaningful mentorship” as a driving force for their businesses. Mentoring increases their confidence, risk-taking and vital skills development. By paying it forward, you will also build a culture in Canada that supports entrepreneurship – and that’s good for business and good for the country.

Keeping it all in the family for the sake of customers Brian Turner

News - Ottawa, from a automotive shopper’s perspective is blessed with a retailer per capita rate that is one of the highest in North America with 65 manufacturers’ dealerships, all operating with solid financial footing under professional customerfocused management. The number of dealers has doubled since 1971. Auto retailer ownership here has undergone its own version of restructuring and the results are providing more security for car owners as well as increased selection and a more competitive market. A great example of how family involvement can improve client satisfaction and long term viability can be found under the Myers nameplate. The name Myers first became associated with automotive retailing and service in Ottawa in 1942. At the time Gordon Myers established Myers Motors as the successor to Ottawa’s first General Motors dealership. After thriving through a series of dedicated owners, Hank Mews, the current 46

president, took over in 1975. Hank Mews joined Myers in February, 1971, as general manager. He was born and grew up in St. John’s Newfoundland and after graduating from high school, his first job was as a salesperson with a Ford dealership in St. John’s. baseline and merivale

From there, being uncertain about what career path to follow, Hank moved to mainland Canada and over the next few years he tried his hand as a commercial pilot, as a life insurance salesperson and finally as a representative in a Toronto Advertising Agency. Hank piloted Myers Chev-Olds Cadillac at the corner of Baseline and Merivale by himself until sons Harry and Robert joined the organization in the early

1990’s. They have held various management roles along the way and today are partners with Hank in all of the dealerships. They and their customers alike have benefited from examples lived and lessons passed down from their father. In the showroom, at the home dining table, or at the cottage, Harry and Robert were constantly exposed to Hank’s drive for success and his instruction. They have carried on Hank’s philosophy of providing superior customer satisfaction and the vision is to continue to evaluate opportunities for future growth. From early on, Hank Mews and his family realized that long term success would be dependent on providing outstanding customer service. They dedicated much of their financial and human resources to build-

ing a reputation, one client at a time, of being competent, caring, and trustworthy. As a result, in a very competitive marketplace, Myers grew, their parts, service and collision repair departments flourished, and they quickly became recognized as one of General Motors’ top Canadian dealerships. They also learned that customers are most comfortable and loyal when dealing with a neighbourhood retailer that supports the community in an active partnership model. To serve the growing demand for local quality car retailers in growing outlying areas of the city, the Mews family opened Mews Chevrolet in Orleans in 1992. They quickly became a driving force in the burgeoning Eastern city with a fastgrowing customer base and extended service hour’s right

from the start. moving west

They moved west in 2003 by purchasing Elliott Chevrolet in Bell’s Corners and relaunching it as Chevy West. In 2005 they partnered with Keith Bean and amalgamated 2 great GM stores in Brockville into a gleaming 4-line GM store. They expanded outside the GM family with the addition of Myers Hyundai in 2008 in Ottawa West quickly earning Hyundai Canada’s top President’s Award of Merit for superior customer satisfaction ratings. Myers Volkswagen in Kanata, Myers Kanata Hyundai, Myers Orleans Nissan followed as did their newest member of the dealership family; Myers Kemptville Chevrolet Buick GMC.

Each store is guided by an experienced and dedicated team of professionals, all committed to Hank Mew’s philosophy of providing an exceptional experience to every customer whether they’re buying a $39 oil change service or a $75,000 luxury sedan. No one rests on the laurels of past successes or gets any slack because they’re family. Each store, every manager and department head, all of the friendly staff answers to their customers and in this way they are responsive and proactive to the specific and unique needs of the areas they represent. They are proud to serve and be part of their Ottawa and Eastern Ontario neighbourhoods. Every year, the Myers Automotive Group gives back generously through donations to youth development groups, local hospitals, and the United Way. With family leadership like this, it’s easy to understand why the auto retail industry in our region is the cream of the crop.

News - R.E. Wilson Public School is looking at closing its parking lot in the morning and afternoon to protect students from the deluge of traffic created by parents dropping off and picking up their children. “It is really dangerous,” said the school’s principal, Cynthia Willman. “The cars pile up, (parents) park and walk their children to the door. There are near misses all the time.” On a typical school morning or afternoon, as many as four to five cars will try to pull into the lot at the same time to park while parents pick up their children, said Willman. A school of only 200 students from kindergarten to Grade 6, the lot is not built to contend to multiple parents driving in and parking, said Willman. “It’s a very tiny lot; there really is just no room,” she said. For the principal the answer is a simple one – close the parking lot during the morning and afternoon peak times. Audrey Hollywood has been a parent at the school for the past eight years and says the parking lot has always been a concern. Hollywood is the chairwoman of the parent council and added the group wants a permanent solution like closing the parking lot. “It’s the only way it could get better,” Hollywood said. But this is not the first time the school has proposed the closure of the parking lot as a per-

Every time it is suggested, the proposal is met with opposition. “A lot of the parents get very angry when you suggest it,” Willman said. The principal said many other schools close off the parking lot at peak times to stop parents from driving in. See PRINCIPAL on page 52

“Manor Park Public School blocks off the lot, and parents use side streets or park along the street instead,” Willman said. Willman and Hollywood said parents can simply learn to walk, ride or park on a side street when bringing their children to school. “Something needs to change, this is the best solution,” Hollywood said. IMPLEMENTING SAFETY

Because of the school’s troubles, R.E. Wilson was chosen in 2011 as a candidate to work with Green Communities Canada. A national organization which promotes cycling and walking, the school has worked with the organization on a three-year project to help increase the number of students who walk or ride to school.

• A school loading zone on McArthur Road’s inside, west-bound lane Willman said the school loading zone is also meant to be the official kiss-and-say goodbye parking spot for parents. “It’s safe, it runs along the fencing to the school and connects directly to the paths leading into the school, but many parents still refuse to use it,” Willman said. Instead, many choose to fill the tiny, 15 parking spot lot. Hollywood said she has been shouted at when she has asked parents to move their cars, or mentioned the option to park on the road. All the recent measures taken have been appreciated Willman said, but she said speeds along McArthur continues to be an issue, the loading zone is ignored and the crosswalk light is typically ignored. “We had a police blitz where they handed out 40 tickets during the morning, but still people speed,” she said. Willman said she would like the city to properly mark the loading zone area with paint to make it more visible for cars driving along McArthur. She said she hopes the closure of the lot would encourage more parents to park along the loading zone or on side streets and use the crosswalk more. The school has sought support from Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury, the Vanier Community Association, the school’s area superintendent and its trustee. Willman said if she gets the OK, she will begin the process to close the lot during peak times starting in the fall.

Brush with fire Firefighters spent hours battling a 10-acre brush fire that broke out in a wetland north of Stittsville on the afternoon of May 30. A helicopter was flown in to drop water on hot spots while ground crews accessed the blaze from several points, including bicycle trails. Four firefighters were transported to hospital for exhaustion before the fire was declared out at 8 p.m. that night.

PET OF THE WEEK

Pet Adoptions Petra (A165207) is an affectionate little kitty looking for a home to call her very own. This petite one-year-old tabby makes a sweet chirping sound when she’s happy to see you and will run to greet you at the door when you come home. She is very social and loves to spend her days taking cat naps and being around people. She has a gentle demeanor and would be great in a home with children.

For more information on Petra and all our adoptable animals, stop by the OHS at 245 West Hunt Club Rd. Check out our website at ottawahumane.ca to see photos and descriptions of the animals available for adoption.

Adopt a Shelter Cat Month June is a busy month at the Ottawa Humane Society. Not only is it the time of year the shelter starts experiencing seasonal overcrowding, but it’s also Adopt a Shelter Cat Month, an occasion that’s close to our hearts. All OHS cats, from the youngest kitten born at the OHS to the 15-yearold surrendered to the OHS, are shelter cats. They’re all different, with unique personalities. Some are purebred, some are beautiful mixes. Some love to play with toys, others love to cuddle, while many love to do both.

Do you think your pet is cute enough to be “THE PET OF THE WEEK”? Submit a picture and short biography of your pet to find out! Simply email to: dtherien@perfprint.ca attention “Pet of the Week”

for adopters who choose to bring home an OHS cat. All pets from the OHS come spayed or neutered, microchipped, with six weeks of insurance from Petsecure, and with a health guarantee. That’s an estimated $625 in services that are included in the cat adoption fee. If you’ve thought about bringing home a new cat friend, June is a great time of year to do it and the OHS is the place to go. Celebrate Adopt a Shelter Cat Month by making a homeless cat’s dreams come true this month.

Please note: The Ottawa Humane Society has many other companion animals available for adoption. Featured animals are adopted quickly!

Focus your energies in a positive way, Aries. You can accomplish anything you set your mind to, and now is the time to put your attitude to work. Taurus, you are ready for something or someone new. Right now is a good time to reach out and connect with a new passion. Things will get more interesting rather quickly. You need to focus and get back to work this week, Gemini. Things have slipped out of your fingers, and it could take a little while before you get back on a schedule. Shop around for the best deals before making a big purchase, Cancer. A little extra work can lead to substantial savings. There are deals to be had, so be patient. Expect to reach a milestone in your life, Leo. This may have something to do with your family or career. Either way, the praise you will receive is warranted. Sometimes it can be easy for you to get fixated on a certain way of doing things, Virgo. There are really many different paths to the same outcome when you are open to ideas.

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!

Libra, do not panic when a glitch arises in your plans. Just approach the situation from a different angle, and you will find a solution in no time. Try not to push yourself too hard this week, Scorpio. This is a good time to maintain a low profile. Drawing too much attention to yourself might ruffle the wrong feathers this week. Sagittarius, something will bring a smile to your face early in the week, and there’s pretty much nothing that can put you in a bad mood. This is an ideal time to get things accomplished. You are never one to walk away from a challenge, Capricorn. This week you will be presented with a big obstacle, and you will have to step up to tackle the hard stuff. Keep your eyes open and you just may stumble on something new and fascinating this week, Aquarius. This is a good time to explore new ideas and apply them to your daily life. Someone gets bent out of shape over something that seems laughable to you, Pisces. You may need to adjust your view.
