Stephanie Headley sits in a chair in her house in Katimavik hooked up to an oxygen tank on June 5. Headley and her family are fundraising so that she can undergo an innovative procedure that could cure her of the auto-immune disease that is killing her.

nosed with systematic scleroderma in 2001, a rare auto-immune disease that occurs when a person’s own immune system works against them and causes the over-production of collagen, a fibrous protein that makes up skin and connective tissue.

The result, in Headley’s case, is the hardening of both her skin and internal organs.

“Some people would describe it as turn-

ing to stone,” she said during an interview in her home while hooked up to an oxygen tank.

Having dealt with the disease for more than a decade, Headley doesn’t know how much longer she can survive, but is making a last push for the closest thing to a cure available.

The only thing standing in her way is $125,000 US.

Controversial Teron Road buildings approved laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Tall buildings are coming to all Ottawa communities, declared planning committee chairman Peter Hume just before his committee approved buildings up to nine storeys on Teron Road.

The Kanata-Beaverbrook Community Association is still deciding whether to appeal the proposed 120-unit development to the Ontario Municipal Board, said association representative Beata Myhill.

“We have the funds and we can raise more funds. We are going to look at our options,” she said after committee approved the two-building proposal at 1131 Teron Rd. on June 6. The rezoning was set to be approved by council the next day, after this newspaper’s deadline, due to a delay in the process championed by Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. At the last planning committee meeting, she asked for a delay to allow the founding developer of Kanata, Bill Teron, to redraw the proposal and suggest a new development plan to the property’s owner, Phil Bottriel.

“Thinking we would throw a Hail Mary out there and hope something magical would happen. It didn’t,” said Coun.

Rainer Bloess, who is on the committee.

He pointed out that Teron doesn’t own the land and if the developer doesn’t want to take Teron’s suggestion, he doesn’t have to and it’s not up to the committee to approve an alternate plan on the developer’s behalf.

Teron insisted his calculations show the development Bottriel is proposing would never be viable due to the unit size, cost and “intensification quality.”

His contemporary, John Mlacak, another Kanata forefather, argued that city staff was misinterpreting the city’s Official Plan by agreeing to support the rezoning. Mlacak said he interprets the Official Plan as directing developers to “work with what exists in the existing communities.”

Hume chalked the opposition up to residents not agreeing with the goals in the city’s Official Plan – intensification that would bring more residents to the urban area, especially near transit corridors, which March Road is set to become after 2024.

“At some point in time, tall buildings are going to be in our neighbourhoods. They are not confined to the downtown,” he said. “It’s the reality of urban development in our neighbourhoods.”

Still, Hume said a nine-storey structure isn’t even a tall building, which the city cate-

gorizes as 10 storeys or higher.

Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley asked why residents didn’t object to the designation of March Road as a future Transitway rapid-transit corridor that is now being used as an argument for intensification.

“That vision has been changed. It was approved by council. The councillor sponsored (it),” he said.

Jim Birtch, a resident of nearby Varley Lane, said a future Transitway link doesn’t absolve the city of its responsibility for good planning.

Myhill agreed.

“The transit corridor along March Road is a necessity for the employment area (Kanata North Technology Park), she said. “We’re realistic on the fact that it needs to go in ... At the same time, I don’t think that anybody expected that there were going to be a couple of transit stations put beside the Greenbelt with the idea that they were going to be actively used by members of the community who can walk two blocks just as easily to Teron Road and catch a bus.”

Myhill said there needs to be clarity on what the city wants as a result of that transit corridor designation because the impacts will be felt not only in Beaverbrook, but also in Katimavik, Glen Cairn and Bridlewood.

LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND

Founding developer of Kanata Bill Teron presents his alternate drawings for a development proposed by Phil Bottreil for 1131 Teron Rd. during a June 6 planning committee meeting.

There was a small change in the plans before committee approved it: the three-storey building closest to neighbouring townhomes on Bethune Court will be moved 4.5 metres away from those backyards instead of 2.5 m as proposed in Bottriel’s plans. The developer and city planners agreed to that change.

Wilkinson had tried to get a few more changes approved, including reducing the height of the buildings to a maximum of four storeys, like in Teron’s plan, and increasing the setbacks to 7.5 metres, but the committee rejected those changes.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I want to fight to be with my kids:â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Kanata mom Continued from page 1

Inspired by her children and a narrow escape from pneumonia last year, Headley believes she is strong enough to survive.

Headley had been dealing with the disease for two years before she was diagnosed, as her doctors could not figure out where her bouts of intense joint pain were coming from.

But blood work showed she had systemic scleroderma.

Learning just what was wrong with her was a blessing, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was elated, because at that point, some doctors were actually starting to wonder if it was all in my mind,â&#x20AC;? said Headley.

But it was a doubleedged sword, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to have scleroderma, but at the same time you want to know what you have, that something is wrong.â&#x20AC;?

The diagnosis meant Headley could undergo more targeted treatment, but with scleroderma, that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean too much.

All Headleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doctors could do is give her medica-

tion to deal with individual symptoms, like pain, gastric and intestinal issues, lung fibrosis, nausea and much more, she said.

Those are all caused from the hardening process, but because her immune system is compromised, she is also susceptible to everyday health issues, like contracting pneumonia.

Last fall, a severe form of pneumonia nearly killed her.

With her symptoms growing worse, but having overcome the pneumonia, Headley decided to be done with the disease or die trying.

While there is no official cure for systemic scleroderma, there is one procedure that seems to have cured others with the disease as well as other kinds of auto-immune diseases.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called a stem cell transplant and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very expensive.

Though Headley could undergo the procedure in Canada, the success rate here is no where near as good as with Dr. Richard Burt, an American doctor who practises in Chicago.

The procedureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s use specifically for auto-immune

KICK YOUR GAME

UP A NOTCH!

diseases was piloted by Burt.

It works by stripping a patient of their immune system using chemotherapy, and then retrieving stem cells from the patient which are then clear of the disease. The patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immune system is then regrown using their own stem cells from the ground up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are like an infant â&#x20AC;Ś but you no longer have the damaged immune system,â&#x20AC;? said Headley.

With a success rate of 80 per cent and 10 years honing the process for those with auto-immune diseases, Burt is Headleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best hope, she said.

Now, she is fundraising for her life, asking for donations from anybody and everybody.

The procedure will cost $125,000, she said. With fundraising having started a month ago, she and her family have collected $6,000 ADAM KVETON/METROLAND from family members and Stephanie Headley holds the hand of her father, Peter Headley, who is part of the constrangers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not bad,â&#x20AC;? she said tingent of family members helping her raise money for a rare medical procedure in the with a smile, though she United States.

Traffic safety 101

T

he traffic issues putting kids at risk at Robert E. Wilson Public School on McArthur Avenue are common across the city.

The problem deserves a real solution and parents should support changes to make kids safer.

R.E. Wilson is located on a road where drivers are unlikely to slow down to the speed limit. The children attending the school are in kindergarten to Grade 6; not a good mix with fast cars.

On top of that risk, parents try to get their cars in and out of the parking lot before the bell rings and after school. Many may be in a rush to get to work each morning.

The schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s principal calls the situation dangerous and says there are often near misses. Parents have been asked to drop off kids along the road, right onto paths that link to the school, but many still choose to head into and out of the parking lot.

The parent council would like to see a permanent solution: closing the parking lot. Some parents have reportedly responded with anger when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suggested the lot could be closed.

The school has done just about everything possible to reduce the risk of a serious injury or death, including efforts to get more kids to walk or ride bikes to school.

A crosswalk has been added at the corner of McArthur Road and Brant Street, the speed limit is marked at 40 kilometres per hour during school hours and a loading zone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; perfect for dropping off or picking up kids â&#x20AC;&#x201C; has been established.

A recent police blitz resulted in 40 tickets being handed out, but the deterrent value of a crackdown is â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as expected â&#x20AC;&#x201C; fleeting. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also expensive to have officers staking out a school zone over and over again.

Clearly the parking lot should be closed if thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the greatest risk to kids.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for the city to step in and install traffic calming measures. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be expensive.

Narrowed traffic lanes can help, and also have the advantage of making the road crossing shorter for pedestrians.

The area sounds like a perfect spot to join a pilot project now underway in a few areas of the city that has seen flexible posts installed down a roadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s centreline with the speed limit marked on them. This visually narrows the road and can result in lower speeds.

If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever a place that deserves added attention, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a school zone. No kid should be hurt or killed because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re heading to or from school.

Our lawns tell story of the new impersonal campaign

E

ven in the last week of the Ontario election campaign, it was hard to find campaign signs on peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawns.

True, there was no shortage of them on public property. But if you walked along neighbourhood streets and looked for them in front of peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s houses, no go.

You could walk an entire city block without seeing a lawn that had a sign on it. Fewer people than usual felt committed enough about a candidate or a party to allow a sign on their lawn.

That could mean a lot of things, the most important of which was that the election was not connecting with people. Why would that be?

There will be no shortage of blame to spread around. The parties and their leaders will get some of it, for failing to excite the people. The people will get some blame too, for being too busy with trivial matters to care about who governs them.

And then there are the media, always available when blame is being shared around. The news media accentuated the negative, played up insignificant controversy and gave insufficient time and space to more serious policy matters.

You can find something to agree with all of these explanations, but there are other things to

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town consider, such as the way election campaigns have been changing in recent years.

This one was a good example. The parties no longer campaign the way they once did. They now focus almost entirely on media, old and new, and the effect may be to make individuals feel less involved in campaigns.

There was more door-knocking in previous campaigns. The odds were that at some point, one or more candidates would come to your door, often accompanied by some of your neighbours. That would help to personalize the campaign for you.

You would also see your neighbours at the all-candidates debate at a school or church hall near you. After listening to the candidates and perhaps asking a question or two, you would talk with your friends and neighbours about

what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d heard.

Whichever candidate you supported, you had a sense that the election touched your neighbourhood in some way. And you might put out a sign.

Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parties donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to care about that. In todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s style of campaigning, there is heavy reliance on television advertising, which involves the individual voter not at all, other than by changing the channel. More recently, there is an increasing emphasis on the Internet and social media. There is Internet advertising and an endless barrage of tweets. Your computer replaces your doorstep.

While this means that, theoretically, messages from the parties can reach more people than ever before, the overall effect is to make them less personally involved. They have less personal contact with candidates; they see lots of them, but only as images on a screen.

At the same time that electronic contact with voters has expanded, face-to-face contact has diminished. You have probably noticed news articles during the campaign about the decreasing number of all-candidates meetings. This has been interpreted as part of a political strategy to keep tight control on the message and the candidates, to avoid at all costs unscripted encounters with voters and journalists.

The idea is to minimize risk, to avoid situations where candidates have to think on their feet, perhaps make a mistake or show that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know all the answers. Political junkies may find this risk-free campaign interesting to watch, but for most of us these changes in campaign style have created far too much distance between us and the people we elect.

The new breed of political strategist doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem concerned by this. The only goal is winning and if winning can be done without communicating, so much the better.

But if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working for the parties, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not working for the people. The lawns tell the story.

SALARIES

What does all this have to do with unions? Unions negotiate and protect livable salaries with job security and benefits. Unionized

workers are paid enough money to take the issue of money off the table which, if the studies above are correct, will lead to optimized performance and generally happy workers.

We all know this isn’t a perfect formula. There are other motivation problems in unionized environments that need to be considered: restrictions on lateral movement, for example, or the lack of opportunities to innovate.

But, as far as money goes, until we see corporations match these healthy work environments without the negotiation and protection of unions, the latter, in my opinion, will continue to have a purpose.

It’s easy to be jealous or critical of unionized work-

ers. But let’s not forget that even those of us who are not unionized owe a lot to unions – legislated vacation time, sick days and 40-hour work week, to name a few examples.

I’ve worked in both unionized and non-unionized newsrooms. I much prefer the former.

While the latter pushed us to the brink daily – no lunch breaks, no vacation, overtime without pay – the unionized environment enforced the opposite, making us better prepared to bring our A-games to the table with every single story.

Not to mention the fact that mandated breaks contributed to greater innovation and connection to colleagues and to the workplace generally.

Forty per cent of kids in Canada play soccer, and only two per cent are playing golf. Why is that? So we are trying to tap into that.

ROB KNIGHTS

The benefits to playing foot golf are found in cost and playability.

All you need in terms of equipment is appropriate footwear (not soccer cleats as they can damage the turf), and a size five regulation soccer ball.

The game of foot golf is

easier to play because the soccer ball is bigger and harder to lose, and is much easier to hit than a golf ball.

You also donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to carry around a set of golf clubs.

Despite these benefits, Knights wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t immediately sold on the idea when he was introduced to the game last fall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought it was a joke at first,â&#x20AC;? said Knights, who used to be a golf professional. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see the appeal to it â&#x20AC;Ś but once I understood there is actually some skill involved, it made sense to me.â&#x20AC;?

Like in golf, foot golf players still have to learn to curve the ball around trees and other obstacles, and strike a balance between long, hard shots and accuracy.

These are some of the skills soccer players can work on while playing foot golf, said West Ottawa Soccer Club CEO Bjorn Osieck, who suggested the game to the Thunderbird Sports Centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was just intrigued,â&#x20AC;? said Osieck when he heard about

Hazeldean

the sport a year ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought it was a cool and quite fantastic way to merge two popular pastimes for people.â&#x20AC;?

Osieck said he is interested in the team-building potential of foot golf for soccer teams, not to mention the extra kicking practice involved. The game also promises to be less stressful than soccer, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobody is going to tackle you before you can kick the ball.â&#x20AC;?

The sport kicked-off at the Thunderbird golf course on Richardson Side Road on June 7, with the cost of a game starting at $10 for one person, and $100 for a group of six to 12 people.

Thunderbird golf course is the only golf course in Ottawa to offer foot golf, and one of five courses registered with the Canadian Foot Golf Association.

Both Osieck and Knights are excited by the potential of the game, and hope it promotes a cross over from both soccer and golf.

Successful tech job fair a mark of returning industry, says BIA Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

News - The Kanata North BIA held its first job fair on June 5.

Twenty-six companies attended the fair, each looking for anywhere from one to 30 new employees, said the BIA’s executive director, Jenna Sudds.

The event was a success, said Sudds, with 650 job-seekers attending. But the event is more than a good start for the BIA. It’s a mark of the times, and they are improving, said Sudds.

“We’ve seen an ebb and flow,” said Sudds of north Kanata’s tech industry over the last decade. “The demise of Nortel obviously was a low, previous to that a high. But the numbers are certainly approaching the high that was experienced at the time of Nortel (in terms of employment numbers),” she said.

“The most recent employment study that’s done by the City of Ottawa in 2012 has us at 21,000 jobs just in the Kanata north area, which is a pretty astronomical number,” said Sudds.

The numbers seem to be growing, with Sudds pointing to the demand for a job fair as evidence of growth in the job market.

The decision to run the job fair came from an human resources summit in March, where 20 vice presi-

dents from local companies, primarily tech-based ones, voiced their interest in a fair.

“One of the issues they are facing is recruitment and talent,” said Sudds.

It’s not a bad problem to have, she said, considering job creation continues to be of topmost concern throughout the country.

But the high-tech sector is showing growth, with Statistics Canada numbers showing an increase from 40,2000 employees in the sector in 2012 to 56,200 in 2013, according to the BIA’s news release. Over the past four years, Ottawa’s number of high-tech companies has grown from 1,000 to 1,800.

Some of the business representatives at the job fair said the fair seemed strong with a good turnout of potential employees and companies, though not much more than the average.

A representative from AlcatelLucent, a cloud networking and wireless network company, said they were looking to hire for dozens of positions, and that this has been the norm for the company.

Software architect and Kanata Kareer Group volunteer Kevin Chapman said the fair was “a positive sign,” for north Kanata, and that it shows north Kanata is a stable technology centre, though Nortel is no longer the focal point.

Novel marks 100th anniversary of The Empress’ sinking Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

News - An award-winning author and teacher from Kanata hopes her historical fiction novel about “Canada’s worst maritime disaster” helps to implant the tragedy in popular Canadian mythos.

The novel entitled Unspeakable and penned by Caroline Pignat, surrounds the sinking of The Empress of Ireland, a cruise ship lost in the St. Lawrence River.

More than 1,000 people died when the ship sank on the very first day of its voyage from Quebec to Liverpool, topping the tally of passengers lost on the Titanic, said Pignat.

Despite the sheer size of the disaster, its story is little-known, she said.

With the 100th anniversary of the sinking, a stunning collection at the Canadian Museum of History now open to the public, and her novel, Pignat said she hopes this can change.

“I hope the book makes people want to learn more about the event,” and about the heroic people who lived through it, she said.

It’s a story that she was unfamiliar with as well, when Penguin Books asked her to write a novel about the tragedy.

A lot of Pignat’s other historical works have to do with Ireland, so she thought maybe that’s why the pub-

lisher was asking her to write it.

“Then (the publisher) goes, ‘No, no, it’s one of Canada’s biggest maritime disasters and the 100th anniversary is coming up.’

“I still had no idea what she was talking about,” admits Pignat.

After doing some research on the topic, she said the story begged to be told.

“The facts themselves are amazing,” said Pignat.

THE SINKING

It was May 29, 1914, she said. The Empress of Ireland was sailing from Quebec to Liverpool, its 96th voyage, and on that first night, just as the ship was nearing the end of the St. Lawrence River, a fog rolled in.

A little before 2 a.m., a smaller ship called the Storstad was nearing The Empress, and in the confusion, the Storstad hammered into The Empress, ripping a 33 square metre hole in the ocean liner.

Had the Storstad remained embedded in The Empress, the cruise liner may not have sunk, said Pignat. The smaller ship was plugging the hole it had made and could possibly have stayed embedded in the hull of The Empress until they reached the shore just six miles away.

‘Some people drowned in their beds’: author Continued from page 12

But, the Storstad detached from The Empress, and water came surging in.

The sinking occurred two years after the Titanic, which did not carry enough lifeboats for the crew and passengers.

Learning from that, The Empress had been outfitted with more lifeboats and better technology to keep it afloat.

But, as the ship began leaning to one side, the portholes, left open as the ship had yet to make it to open water, let water gush into passengers’ rooms.

“Some of the accounts that I read were saying it was like a fire-hose right on you in the bed,” said Pignat.

“Some people drowned in their beds and weren’t able to get out of their room.”

The ship rolled, and in 14 minutes, it had sunk. Of the 1,447 people sailing on The Empress, 1,012 died.

THE FICTION

Ellie, a fictional character and Pignat’s main character, is a stewardess and one of the survivors of the sinking. She refuses to speak about what happened

while she looks for Jim, one of the ship’s stokers who she is in love with, said Pignat.

But, when a journalist finds Jim’s journal and uses it as leverage to get Ellie to talk, the story of The Empress’ descent beneath the waves is recounted, she said.

The story of The Empress of Ireland has long been referred to as “Canada’s Titanic,” but won little of the attention that disaster had garnered. Perhaps it’s because the First World War began two months later, or the deaths of New York socialites out-shone those of The Empress of Ireland, said Pignat.

“More passengers died on that ship than on the Titanic or the Lusitania, which is crazy,” she said, “and we’ve never heard of it.”

Pignat said she believes it’s time for the sinking to be remembered, adding “It was definitely an honour to be given the opportunity to write it.”

Pignat will be signing copies of her book on June 14 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Kanata Chapters at 400 Earl Grey Dr. The Canadian Museum of History’s exhibit on the sinking runs until April 6, 2015.

City approves $4 million in repairs for Goulbourn pool

it predated his involvement.

“I think when the centre was built it was built to the standards that were applicable at the time,” he said.

Wayne Newell, general manager of infrastructure services, said if it’s discovered that issues were the result of the builder not following

plans, that contractor would be held responsible and made to pay.

But the mayor said recouping the costs through legal action is unlikely. “(It’s) probably unlikely because it’s been so many years,” Watson said. “I don’t know if we have much of a legal leg to stand on to move forward with that.” Qadri said getting hung up on how the plans came together 14 years ago was not the priority.

“Going back – I don’t know whether that’s worthwhile doing that or not,” Qadri said. “My idea is to go forward. If there is any legal action required in terms of architects or consultants or stuff, I’ve already asked them in the report to come back to committee and report that.”

From a staff perspective, the city’s manager of asset management, Alain Gonthier, said the lesson learned is to put more onus on engineers to flag concerns, especially in areas they don’t have access to, such as inside the ceiling.

That way, managers can give

authority to conduct a more invasive review.

REPAIRS

The new work needed to address the rust issues at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex pool includes new steel columns on the warm side of the wall complete with epoxy paint finish and raised off the pool deck in order to avoid water from the deck. Foundation bases for the round steel columns supporting the roof need to be reinforced and a new thermally broken triple glazed “curtain wall” system must be installed.

The upper “lantern” – the original source of many of the issues – must be removed and replaced with new steel decking and roofing. A new interior mechanical air distribution system must be installed and the rusting doors and frames need to be replaced.

The recreation complex includes a pool, two arena pads, a gymnasium, a fitness studio and community meet-

ing rooms. It was constructed in three phases: the first by the former township of Goulbourn in the year 2000, the second by the city of Ottawa in 2008 (gymnasium, fitness studio and meeting rooms), and the third by the city of Ottawa in 2010 (second ice pad).

Other parts of the original recreation complex building constructed in 2000 along with the pool (lobby, initial arena and administration

spaces) are being inspected to determine if there are design and construction issues in these areas as well. But any such issues in these areas are not expected to be as significant as those in the pool area. If repair work is needed in these areas, it is expected that funding for them can be accommodated as part of the city’s regular capital budgeting process.

egy, which was recommended as part of the city’s Ottawa River Action plan. Environment committee chairwoman Maria McRae, councillor for River Ward, has touted the roundtable event as a followup to the city’s recent approval of a strategy for greenhouse gases.

Young people were asked to participate by designing a poster in the theme “water is life.” Each elementary school in Ottawa could submit one poster design, which can be drafted by an individual student or a group of pupils from grades 3, 4 and 5.

The posters will be displayed at city hall and during the water roundtable on June 14.

Arts - Musical theatre students at West Carleton Secondary School put on a rousing performance of an original play last week.

The class of 28 – augmented by volunteer musicians and crew – took to the stage for Legacy, written by teachers Matt Gagnier and Alison Hauch, from June 4 to 6.

“I went to the show last year and I saw everyone was having fun,” said Grade 12 student Gillian Webster. She decided to sign up for the class, even though the trained dancer had no musical background.

“It pushed me out of my comfort zone,” she said. “I have a little singing part. I’d go home every night and practice in front of the mirror. I really didn’t want to let the group down.”

Legacy features music from a number of well-known stage productions, includ-

ing Mamma Mia, Rent, and The Sound of Music.

The original musical follows a fictional theatre company as it prepares to close.

With a number of spectacular song and dance numbers, Legacy deals out betrayal, loss, redemption and forgiveness, with some hearty laughs mixed in.

Grade 11 student Luke McCaskill had no background in musical theatre but a passion to perform saw him sign up for the class.

“I’ve always had a passion for theatre,” he said. “I thought it was a great opportunity to try dance and singing.”

The class has grown close over the many hours of rehearsal.

“Every day is a new experience,” said Gillian. “I felt we really connected really well. I’ll be coming back (to watch) next year.”

Luke added that students pondering taking the musical theatre class next year should jump on the chance.

“Take advantage of what you can, when you can,” he said.

Murals coming to Metcalfe, Riverside underpasses

News - Murals will brighten up underpasses at Metcalfe Street and Riverside Drive at Bronson Avenue by the end of the summer.

Mayor Jim Watson announced a program to add artwork to underpasses during his state of the city address in January. Last month, Watson confirmed that the Highway 417 underpass at Metcalfe and where Riverside Drive passes under Bronson Avenue will

be the first murals to be completed.

One of the walls of each underpass will feature depictions of the neighbourhoods where they are found, while the other wall will be used to pay tribute to Canada’s upcoming 150th birthday in 2017.

“We are constantly looking for ways to spruce up the appearance of our community,” Watson said during his annual state of the city speech on Jan. 21. “And of course, we also want to put our best foot for-

The city already has other mural programs such as Paint It Up, which engages youth in designing murals for graffitiprone spots as a way to deter the unwanted guerilla art.

The city will work with transportation ministry staff, business improvement areas, councillors, youth groups and the arts community to tackle the mural project.

News – A clean car for dad, and a spot at the table for a young Christian: this is the ultimate Father’s Day gift, according to the FAITH youth group at St. James the Apostle Anglican Church in Manotick.

The group will host a car wash at Jack May Chevrolet Buick GMC dealership on Saturday, June 14 to fundraise for an upcoming Christian retreat in Kamloops, BC – but they’re not raising money for themselves.

The group had been fundraising to send 13 local parishioners to CLAY (Canadian Lutheran Anglican Youth) Gathering, which is held every second year in a different Canadian city.

The teens had hoped to raise just over $1700 to

offset their travel costs, which are about $1245 per person.

But when the group realized they had already raised more than $2200 with one more fundraising event still to come, they didn’t stop there.

The students decided to use their extra $400 to support other young Canadians who can’t afford to attend the prestigious retreat.

“I am always proud of youth but I am particularly proud of them for this,” said Donna Rourke, who is responsible for youth ministry in the church.

The car wash will add even more to those charitable coffers. As an added bonus, the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa has offered to match their car wash proceeds, up to $500.

“The CLAY organizers were just blown away,” Rourke said.

The car wash will be held at the Jack May dealership at 3788 Prince of Wales Dr. between 9 a.m. and 1:30 on Saturday, June 14.

SECOND SECTION THURSDAY JUNE 12, 2014

If your house burns down, learn from it says Dragon Arlene Dickinson of Dragon’s Den discusses learning from failure with Ottawa entrepreneurs Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

News - Dozens of Ottawa entrepreneurs gathered to hear life lessons from a woman who has been through fire and back.

Either through her work on the popular television show Dragon’s Den as one of five venture capitalists who interview entrepreneurs seeking funding, or in her personal life leading up to financial success, Arlene Dickinson had plenty of advice to share with Ottawa-area business owners, making a point not to focus on success.

Dickinson spoke to a full room at the Brookstreet Hotel on June 9 for a breakfast series hosted by Metroland Media as part of Entrepreneur Week, which runs from June 2-13.

Dickinson and Farm Boy CEO Jeff York made presentations to entrepreneurs and

business owners, with York starting off with a bit of reflection.

“The first thing you have to do is you have to buy a mirror,” said York about beginning your own business.

The comment elicited a chuckle from the crowd, but York went on to explain one of the most important ingredients in a successful business is a good team, and to put together a good team, you have to know what you already have.

Returning to the mirror metaphor, York said, “Whatever is looking back at you, that’s what is going to be your problem in life.”

York encouraged entrepreneurs to find complementary personalities to their own, and not make a team out of people like them.

Rather, look for hunters and farmers, he said: those that will go for the kill, and those that will tend to the flock.

Dickinson’s speech touched on leadership as well, and not just knowing that mistakes will happen, but learning from them and sharing lessons learned.

Dickinson’s strongest example of that idea came from her father, she said, and no

more so than on one particular day when Dickinson’s sister was cooking.

As she was returning home one day, Dickinson saw a fire truck near her house. As she approached, she saw it was indeed parked in front of her home, where her dad was speaking to children on their front yard, and her older sister was crying.

Asking a firefighter what had happened, he explained that Dickinson’s sister had been cooking chicken and left the oil on, which had caught fire and burned much of the top floor. No one was hurt, he said.

But, when she asked what her dad was up to, the firefighter explained that her father had asked permission from the school across the road to bring some students over to show them what can happen if you are cooking and don’t pay attention.

While the scene was comical, Dickinson said her father taught her how important it is to take a moment to learn, she said.

“It’s so critical that we do that,” especially as entrepreneurs tend to charge ahead, said Dickinson.

After touching on personal anecdotes of failure, near failure and living with little to go on, Dickinson finished her speech by sharing one last story as an example of what a leader should tell those they lead. In this case, it was General Walter Natynczyk speaking to his soldiers on the front lines.

Dickinson joined a group of rock stars and former NHL hockey players to meet with Canadian troops in Kandahar, Afghanistan, and was asked to speak with soldiers on the front lines. While there, she heard Natynczyk give his

Natynczyk conceded that he did not know what would happen, and could not, but that he would make sure they knew when he did, said Dickinson.

He said that other armed forces members wish they were serving at the front lines, but that those here were spe-

cially selected because of their skill set.

Those who are going home soon must not think about that, but focus on their duty until they are done, he continued.

He reiterated that the work they were doing had to be done, and that every Canadian thanked them for it.

That is what people want to know at the beginning of their day, said Dickinson: that their leader is with them, that they

are needed, that they were chosen because they know what they are doing, and that what they are doing matters.

Ending off with her own call to arms, Dickinson encouraged those in the room to start the business they have been dreaming of and try to make it work.

“There is only one thing stopping you in this country, and that’s yourself,” she said.

“Go set the world on fire.”

Ottawa’s #1 Ranked Soccer Club OSU FORCE ACADEMY READY TO COMPETE FOR

National Team spot David Chung is ready to take the next step in an already impressive and flourishing soccer career, and for the U14-aged Ottawa South United Force player, that means trying to land a spot with Canada’s under-15 national team program. The OSU standout is in Toronto for a June 1-6 national camp as the U15 men’s side readies for competition in September.

“We have all the best young soccer players in the country coming out and really showing what they got,” reports Chung. “To be in that group, it is really a good feeling.”

MATTHEW DINGWALL PHOTOGRAPHY

Chung, who began playing soccer at age 3 and says he fell in love with the sport instantly, previously represented Canada in the 2012 Danone Nations Cup, a 40-country event that took him to Poland. Most recently, the midfielder/striker showcased his skills for the Vancouver Whitecaps of Major League Soccer during a one-week visit along with OSU Club Head Coach Paul Harris.

“That was a big highlight for me,” signals Chung, who carries hopes of playing professionally in Europe in the future. “Just to be there and around those players, it was such a big deal for me. It was amazing.”

Record-setter at Girls Night Out More than 700 women enjoy a Girls Night Out at Algonquin College, raising more than $105,000 for Hospice Care Ottawa during the organization’s largest annual fundraiser on Friday, May 30. The sold-out event featured a silent and live auction, as well as a buffet dinner and live entertainment. Hospice Care Ottawa provides services free-of-charge to palliative clients and their caregivers.

During their stint in Vancouver, the OSU pair met up with Vana Markarian, a member of Ottawa’s first Ontario Youth Soccer League-champion team last summer who joined the Whitecaps youth academy earlier this year. “This isn’t a fluke,” Harris highlights. “(Chung) isn’t the first player from our club to have a chance like this.”

Other players from the OSU Force Academy who have competed for their country in the past year include Kris Twardek (U17 Czech Republic), Vana Markarian (U17 Canada) and Zoom Langwa (U16 Canada).

Those trailblazers have set the stage for numerous talented OSU prospects such as Chung to move on to higher levels of play, Harris notes. Combined with one of the country’s best training atmospheres for young players to reach their soccer dreams at OSU, Chung’s work ethic has been key to building his bright future in the game, details the former Everton FC academy coach.

“We as a group have such high hopes for David, and many others within our club,” Harris indicates.

“He has really excelled and he has just taken everything we have given him and hasn’t looked back.”

A member of the Force’s undefeated U14 OYSL entry, Chung concurs that OSU has brought out the best in him. “It is such a good club and I am so happy to be part of it,” states the Goulbourn Middle School student. “They are so organized, everyone is so great and helpful and I can’t say enough good things on how the coaches have helped me.”

Chung’s focus for the camp is on impressing another set of coaches and earning a spot on Team Canada. “I like my chances,” he says, acknowledging nonetheless that there are many other talented players who also crave a spot on the team. “I’m not nervous because I know what I am capable of. I am just going to go out and show what I’ve got.”

R0012741331

President Bill Michalopulos added that “David is the latest OSU player to show the aptitude and determination to have an opportunity at the next level. As a club, our primary goal is to provide for and facilitate these unique opportunities to deserving OSU players and to also deliver the proper technical environment to get the best out of our players. Continuous successes in OSU players obtaining these type of opportunities indicate that the OSU Force Academy is on the right track in leading player development in Ottawa and the Province of Ontario.

Kinburn musician takes top honours at fiddle competitions Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Community - Kinburn’s Charlotte Van Barr played her way to the top at both the Ottawa Fiddle and Stepdance competition held in Richmond last month, as well as the provincial violin finals in Peterborough on June 7.

The 12-year-old placed first in the under-12 category at the fiddle competition and was invited to play at the showcase of winners. Charlotte then went on to win second place at the provincial Kiwanis competition for the Royal Conservatory Grade 7 violin class against 13 other competitors last weekend.

“It makes you sort of feel free, you just forget about everything else,” said Charlotte, a Grade 6 student at Stonecrest Elementary School, about playing. “You just engross yourself in the music.”

Charlotte, who also plays violin for the Ottawa Youth Orchestra Academy, enjoys playing both classical and fiddle pieces on her instrument. “What I like best about violin is creating music. You can zone out; I like hearing the music,” she said. “For fiddle, I like that it’s more, not so serious. Joyous, almost. It’s more fun. It’s much more interactive with the audience.”

Coming from a musical family, Charlotte has been playing the violin when she was around three years

More pathways are being checked and others may be resurfaced later.

Hydro Outage on June 4 Most hydro outages are due to weather or failing infrastructure.

The ones on June 4th that impacted residents from Hazeldean Road to Dunrobin was a different matter. I’ve been informed that the first outage was caused by a raccoon at a Hydro One station and the second, to clean up the debris it left on the equipment.

• Maintain familiar rou-

tines.

Community - Garbage along Vanier’s major commercial strips will have a fancy new home thanks to the local business improvement area.

This month, Quartier Vanier is installing 31 new waste receptacles along the BIA’s three main streets.

Unlike the previous 20 garbage bins placed in the neighbourhood --purchased by the BIA in 2008 for $7,770 -- these bins were provided by the city and did not cost the BIA anything.

So far, 10 bins have been installed, with the remainder to be put soon, said the BIA’s operations manager Sam Stevenson.

“These cans are more durable and sturdy, aesthetically appealing, and consistent with the streets,” Stevenson said.

The city will be emptying the bins and taking care of them, also at no cost to the BIA. Stevenson said the BIA began working with the city last fall on bringing in new receptacles to the area and said he is really pleased with the results.

According to Suzan Proulx, chairwoman of the resident-led cleaning and beautification group, Vanier Beautification, the bins were an improvement and she is pleased with their addition to the neighbourhood.

Proulx added the look and feel of the new receptacles match the benches along the streets, creating continuity and being attached to the ground, they are more secure. The opening for placing garbage is also larger, improving the odds of garbage making it in to the bins.

“I feel that overall this is a positive change and will encourage the general population to be more mindful of their environment,” Proulx said.

Good Food Markets, an initiative made possible through the Community Foundation of Ottawa, has helped offer fresh produce at a reasonable price in low-income neighbourhoods. On May 31 the foundation announced it will offer a grant of $125,000 to an organization that can come up with a plan to create long-term solutions to food security issues in this city.

$125,000 offered to a city group that can solve food security Challenge aims to create long-term solution’s Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

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.

CHEO opens new epilepsy monitoring unit Two dedicated beds to cut wait times, improve testing and diagnosis Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News – Dr. Sharon Whiting motions to a bank of computer monitors stationed in the hallway outside two hospital rooms at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario.

The specialized high-tech

equipment and dedicated beds are features of the hospital’s brand new epilepsy monitoring unit that opened on May 12, which is already making a difference in the lives of children and youth who either have epilepsy, or it’s suspected they may have the neurological disorder, which

is characterized by seizures.

“The (four) patients that have been admitted (so far) were patients who either had a diagnosis of epilepsy and we wanted to confirm where in the brain the seizures were coming from or we wanted to actually make sure that they had seizures,” said Whiting, an epileptologist – a neurologist with a sub-specialty in epilepsy - and head of the hospital’s neurology division.

up,” she said.

On average about 200 new epileptic patients are seen at CHEO each year. About 100 of them will come into the new unit for comprehensive testing and diagnosis, effectively doubling the number of pediatric patients, and reducing wait times, said Whiting.

The unit is already booked until October, though the schedule can be shifted to accommodate more urgent cases, she said.

Once admitted to the unit, two patients at a time can be monitored for an average of three days, from Monday to Friday.

This gives the unit’s medical team, which now includes two new dedicated technologists, more time to collect data on the patient’s brain function – especially during a seizure – in a safe and controlled environment, said Whiting.

While some patients can still be assessed in the hospital’s outpatient electroencephalogram lab as before, they are only monitored for 30 minutes to an hour between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Patients and their families often have to come back several days in a row so that a seizure can be recorded.

“The downside of that is that if they had events during the night, you couldn’t capture those events because we send them home each day,” said Whiting, a Mooney’s Bay resident. “That was not a very efficient way. Parents had to take a lot of time off (from work). We may or may not capture the events.”

Before the creation of the dedicated unit, these patients could be admitted to the hospital for overnight monitoring, but patients requiring more urgent care who were admitted through the emergency department took pre-

Dr. Sharon Whiting, head of the neurology division at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, says the recent creation of a new epilepsy monitoring unit at the hospital will cut wait times for patients and mean faster assessments and diagnoses, resulting in improved care. cedence.

“To get those patients previously admitted would take months,” said Whiting.

To improve chances of recording a seizure, a patient’s medication dosages sometimes need to be tapered ahead of time.

“You can’t do that process unless you’re sure you’ve got a bed,” she said. “So it meant that that patient coming in would stay even longer, so this has helped us with access, it has helped us with length of time that patient has to stay and very good information that we’re able to get.”

The new unit also comes with two new dedicated electroencephalogram or EEG machines, with video and audio capabilities, allowing the team to constantly record a patient’s brain function over a longer period of time.

This allows the medical experts to make a more definitive diagnosis, and even rule out epilepsy altogether.

Before the new unit was created, the equipment suffered wear and tear from being transported to various units in the hospital.

Understanding Energy Consumption Did you know: • An average Ontario household consumes around 1,000 kilowatt-hours each month.

• On average, 60 per cent of a yearly electricity bill goes toward heating and cooling the home.

• Home appliances make up roughly 18 per cent of household electricity consumption.

• In a typical home, 20 per cent of household energy costs are created by hot water, and the average household does 37 loads of laundry per month, using 6,817 litres of water.

There is good news; residential energy consumption has decreased per household over the last 30 years. This has been due to improvements in building insulation, more efficient windows, more efficient heating and cooling equipment, more efficient appliances, and the removal of old incandescent light bulbs.

That being said, the bad news is we will experience drastic increases in utility costs (gas, electric, oil, water). In order to keep from drowning in increased costs of living we need to be even more aware of our energy consumption and ways to reduce.

Food for thought Lily and her mom Jaqueline Baker are two members of the family of six who came out to Parliament Hill on May 24 to raise awareness about potentially negative effects of GMO food products. The family was a small group taking part in the global campaign, especially in comparison to the thousands that protested in New Zealand, Europe, and Australia where legislation has been passed to label and ban GMO products.

Patients will receive quicker diagnosis “This way we’re in one location, we have a set number of trained staff, everything is very complete,” said Whiting, who also serves as a vice-dean at the University of Ottawa’s Faculty of Medicine.

Precision means everything in her line of work.

The unit will allow doctors to more quickly determine if a patient is a candidate for surgery at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. The comprehensive data gathered by the CHEO team at the unit will cut down on waiting times for assessments at the Toronto hospital.

“Their waiting time could have taken up to a year to get assessed,” Whiting said. “Now with our unit we’re able to give

them all this data when we send them on, and they analyze the data before they even see the patient.

“And then that means the whole process is quicker for everybody.”

Whiting is part of a 15-member task force launched last year

by Ontario’s Ministry of Health to examine how epilepsy care is delivered at district epilepsy centres, such as CHEO; regional epilepsy centres, where surgery is done; and the delivery of coordinated and standardized care across these sites and with family doctors.

The team, comprised of epileptologists, nurses, technologists, senior administrators and representatives from the province’s Ministry of Heath, also examined the need for dedicated beds.

They also created stan-

dardized guidelines on how the monitoring units should operate, taking into account safety aspects and the types of required medical personnel required.

“We realized there were many barriers and challenges,” Whiting said, adding that one hurdle for patients was the lack of dedicated monitoring units, which meant long wait times and erratic care.

CHEO’s new monitoringunit beds are two of 21 beds newly assigned for adult and pediatric patients with epilepsy or suspected epilepsy at hospitals in the University Health Network, and in London, Hamilton, Toronto and Ottawa.

Two weeks before CHEO’s unit opened, a similar two-bed unit for adults was opened at the Ottawa Hospital’s General campus.

There is potential to expand CHEO’s monitoring unit, depending on the feedback that comes out of an ongoing evaluation process, Whiting said.

But, just weeks after its launch, she said she is already pleased with the positive impact the unit is having in providing more comprehensive care to young patients.

“We have more time, more resources, more people,” she said. “It’s good.”

Switching churches a serious topic

B

eing Lutheran is no fun,” Audrey said for the umpteenth time that morning.

Mother let out a loud sigh, and I knew what was coming next, because my sister on the rare occasions she even bothered to discuss with me anything the least bit serious, had talked about this very thing. “Why can’t we have more Sunday picnics like the Uniteds? Beatrice said there are at least two more picnics this summer, and we Lutherans

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories have yet to have even one.”

Audrey was wiping the oilcloth on the kitchen table, and she was rubbing so hard I thought she was going to rub out the checked red and white

pattern.

Then she took the argument even further by suggesting she saw no reason why she couldn’t go to the United Church and the rest of the family stay Lutheran. Well, that tore it.

Mother sat Audrey down at one end of the table, just by pointing her finger to the nearest chair, and she sat at the other end.

There was nothing I liked better than a good heated discussion, and I knew I was about to witness a dandy. Nothing bothered Mother more than to have one of us argue about going to church. Even though we came from what Aunt Lizzie called a divided household, to Mother going to the Lutheran church every Sunday was just as important as doing the washing on Monday’s and having our weekly bath on

Saturday night. There were no questions asked as far as going to church was concerned, and only a calamity of the highest order would keep us away.

Mother told Audrey you didn’t go to church to have fun.

You were there to learn about the bible, and listen to a good message.

I thought it was a good time to bring up the subject of our divided household, since we were talking church and all.

I had no idea what it meant when Aunt Lizzie had come from Regina one time and as well as declaring Mother as “not being of the best farm material she had ever seen,” she also said Mother created what was called a divided household for her brother – my father.

So I dared to ask, what was a divided household? Mother ignored my question, but my sister Audrey jumped right in and said, “It means Father is a Lutheran, and Mother is a Catholic.”

Well, that was all news to me. The nearest Catholic church was in Renfrew and not once did we ever go to a church service in the Catholic church in Renfrew. How could Mother be a Catholic and not

go to church every Sunday?

Now, she did have a rosary, and she wouldn’t eat meat on Fridays, and on occasion I did see her cross herself, but that’s as far as it went. Why, we often sang on the street corner with the Salvation Army band in Renfrew – did that make us Salvation Army members?

Anyway, as far as Mother was concerned the discussion was over, and Audrey and I headed for the swing in the grape arbour.

I told Audrey I didn’t want to go to one church and have her go to another. I told her about the time she was asked to sing a hymn and how I tingled from my head to my toes with pride, and how everyone said she sang like a bird, and I just knew she would be asked to sing again someday. Whose shoulder could I lean against when I nodded off during the sermon? Certainly not my brother Emerson’s.

I couldn’t tell by looking at Audrey, sitting across from me in the swing, if I had been able to convince her to stay a Lutheran. I had to think of something that would leave no doubt in her mind that going to the United Church just wasn’t a good idea.

Then it hit me right out of the blue.

“I hear Shirley’s brother from the Barr Line is going

to join the Lutheran Church.

Remember how he chose your cake at the cake auction at our church? Cost him a whole quarter too. He sure had the sweets on you.” I had no idea in the world whether or not Shirley’s brother had any intention of joining the Lutheran church, but this issue called for drastic measures, and if that meant telling a little white lie, so be it.

Audrey got a dreamy look in her eyes, which was a very good sign. I thought I would seal the deal by adding a bit more to the story. “Shirley said he is now old enough to drive the car too. He loves to go into Renfrew to the picture shows.”

I had my fingers crossed behind my back, which was supposed to get rid of the sin of telling a lie. I sure hoped it worked, because I had no idea if Shirley’s family even owned a car – they came to church in a horse and buggy.

Well, that did the trick. Audrey put her head back in the swing, and pushed the boards gently with her feet, and the swing squeaked back and forth in a steady rhythm.

I knew she was thinking of trips into Renfrew to the picture show, and Shirley’s brother sitting in a pew in the Lutheran Church.

Joining the United Church was never mentioned again.

salted water, cover and bring potatoes to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until they’re just barely fork-tender, about five minutes.

Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine the gravy, wine (if you’re using it), rosemary and Worcestershire sauce.

Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer for two minutes to blend the flavours. Remove the pan from the heat, discard the rosemary and keep warm.

Drain the potatoes and pat them dry. In a medium bowl, stir together the potatoes and oil, and add salt and pepper to taste. Place potatoes on a greased rectangular grill topper or in flat grill basket in single layer. Place on a cov-

ered grill over medium-high heat for six to nine minutes or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown, turning occasionally. Place the potatoes in a 20-centimetre (eight-inch) round or square disposable foil container.

Reduce the heat to low.

Sprinkle the potatoes with cheese curds and return them to the grill to cook, covered, until the cheese is slightly melted -about three minutes. Serve on individual plates and drizzle each with 25 to 45 mL of gravy or serve in a container drizzled with most of the gravy, leaving some for those who like lots.

Sprinkle with green onion.

Sochi medalists inspire future Olympians at St. Mary school

Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

News – “And the crowd goes wild!”

Having an enthusiastic cheering squad is a big key to success, and three Canadian Olympic medalists stopped by St. Mary Catholic School in Ottawa South on June 4 to thank them for their support and to share some stories from the Sochi Winter Games.

Hockey gold medalist Natalie Spooner, ski-cross silver medalist Kelsey Serwa and pairs figure skating silver medalist Dylan Moscovitch arrived to packed gym of students proudly belting out the national anthem and wildly waving their miniature flags.

The visit was part of a three-day Celebration of Excellence Tour of Heroes to Ottawa-area schools, organized by the Canadian Olympic

Committee and the Canadian Paralympic Committee.

By the time the three athletes had answered all the students’ questions, posed for all their pictures and signed all their autographs, they were all but swept through the school on a wave of excited students hoping for just one more intimate moment with the gods of Canadian sport.

“I love visiting schools, especially elementary schools,” said a breathless Serwa after she was released by the enthusiastic masses.

“People make you feel like a rock star, and it’s where we started, too.”

The Kelowna resident was a Canadian darling at this year’s winter Olympics in Russia after she and teammate Marielle Thompson took the top two podium spots in women’s ski-cross.

“I felt so happy that all the hard work had been validated,” she told the school.

“To stand on the podium is one thing, but to stand there beside your friend and teammate is unbelievable.”

Whereas Serwa and Spooner said they only started thinking about competing in the Olympics when they were teenagers, Moscovitch

had quite a different story.

He had been dreaming of Olympic glory since he was in elementary school, like his audience, he said.

And although he tried to give Harry Potter’s magic the credit for his ability to land complicated jumps and tricks, in reality it’s the result of decades of practice.

“It’s just a medal, but it represents so many years of hard work and sacrifice,” he said.

All three athletes encouraged the students to pursue their goals, no matter what they are. Spooner, especially, spoke of the power of determination. “(The Canadian women’s hockey team) wasn’t the favourite to win this year; we had a lost a lot of games,” she told the crowd.

“One of our biggest lessons this year was to just keep going, even if you’re down. Never give up, because there’s always a way. I think we proved that with this gold medal.”

Before they left, the Olympians presented the school with a bag of sports balls as well as a signed wall calendar from the opening ceremonies.

The Ottawa Student Transportation Authority will be conducting Public Consultation sessions on proposed bell time changes and new walk zone maps.

As each school community has its own concerns, please be sure to attend the session that pertains to your child(ren)’s school(s).

Bouncing back to Ottawa tennis history Heritage Ottawa lecture discusses Old Ottawa South tennis club Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Ever wondered what women in the late 1800s wore while they played tennis? Or how the court was up kept during the season?

Or gazed at the Old Ottawa South tennis club on Cameron Avenue and wondered if anyone famous ever played there?

Well on June 18, Heritage Ottawa aims to answer a few of those questions and more with its lecture, There’s No

Place Like Home: How a Tennis Club Found and Kept a Home Against All Odds.

The lecture will be given by historian and professional writer Janet Uren.

Sitting in her heritage home in New Edinburgh, Uren said she truly can’t get enough of learning about or talking about history -- especially institutions, which is something she credits her father for instilling in her.

“I feel like it’s bred in my bones,” she said.

The lecture will take place

at the Ottawa Tennis and Lawn Bowling Club, located at 176 Cameron Ave. Uren said without spoiling any of the lecture, it will touch on the history of the moving tennis club -- which switched locations as Ottawa grew -- originally situated in Centretown, then the Glebe, before finally settling in Old Ottawa South in 1922.

Uren’s job, she said, is to tell the tale of the players, and the club members and give faces and stories to the club’s history.

“When you look into the club’s history, you find the old Ottawa families, and it’s almost like you are following them around the city,” Uren

said. “It will also be about how the club changed. Now it’s a community-based club where anyone is welcome, but in the old days it was anything but.”

Uren said although the elite in Ottawa weren’t necessarily royalty, it was a closed club where people had to buy shares to join and no children and few women were allowed to play.

Those women who did wore floor length gowns, with corsets -- far from the attire today’s players wear.

Already having spent some time working on the history of the Minto Skating Club and currently working on a larger labour of love -- a history of New Edinburgh -- Uren said it’s easy to get lost in these prominent Ottawa families’ lives.

Uren will be looking back, but Kris Benes of Open Plan Architects, the architect who has been retained to restore the aging building, will talk about the restoration project and the future for the club.

The lecture begins at 7 p.m.

More information about the event is available by visiting the website at heritageottawa.org.

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.

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.

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.

Hudak pinches pennies at Ottawa appearance ksutherland@metroland.com

News- Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak made it clear to Ottawa supporters that a PC government would not fuel the second phase of Ottawa’s light rail during the rally at Nepean Sportsplex on June 4.

Hudak claimed the Liberals left too large a deficit in their term to promise a budget for more than the first half of the project.

The PC party does not plan to revoke funds for phase one of the project, which is already underway, however the route planned to extend from Tunney’s Pasture to Bayshore will be put on the shelf indefinitely.

“Tim and I met with Mayor Watson with respect to LRT,” said MacLeod. “They don’t have formal submission into the province yet, so I suspect that they won’t until after their municipal election. For now, it’s speculative,” she said.

Hudak added that any politician with a billion-dollar deficit promising projects worth billions more, is not going to deliver.

“I’m so confident that with less government debt, lower taxes and affordable hydro we can create more jobs in the province of Ontario,” said Hudak.

And exuding confidence Hudak repeated a promise telling voters that he would resign if he could not keep his promises on the million jobs plan coming to fruition over

its projected eight years.

Hudak’s main goals, should his party be elected, are to “balance the books and reduce spending.”

The Tory leader says his first step will be to reduce the size and cost of government by cutting his cabinet staff from 26 down to 16 ministers.

He intends to cut the current 1.2 million workers in broader public sector down to 1.1 million to match the number of bureaucratic positions existing in 2009.

He also intends to freeze wages of politicians across the board for at least two years, seeking to save $2 billion a year.

It was stated that Liberals added 300,000 bureaucratic jobs to government during its term and lost the same amount in manufacturing jobs.

The PC’s million jobs plan aims to eliminate middle management in order to protect front-line positions, Hudak said.

As people begin to retire, the PC’s will not fill new positions, allowing attrition to resolve the debt problems and help the party resist over-expenditure.

Nepean resident John MacMillon is one of 60,000 people in equestrian industries affected by the Liberal plan regarding racetracks and casinos.

“The Liberals almost decimate the industry, put a thousand jobs in Ottawa at risk and then hand out a subsidy,” said MacLeod. “The horse people of Ontario are not asking for welfare, they are asking for

opportunity.”

Hudak says he will permanently shelve the modernization plan and instead build around the horse track on a smaller scale to ensure job protection.

Students and community members in the crowd voiced concerns regarding tuition fees and the survival of small town colleges, asking if the Tories would continue the Liberal education plan. Due to high expenses of the plan, the answer was no.

However, Hudak guaranteed that all students who have achieved the necessary grades would not be disqualified or restrained from education because of financial barriers.

“Under the Liberals, Ontario’s greatest export is our next generation,” said Hudak, making reference to job-seekKATRICE SUTHERLAND/METROLAND ers heading West for career training opportunities that Tim Hudak, right, answers questions from an audience of more than 300 supporters, are unavailable in Ontario be- regarding the PC party’s plans to save money by wiping out the Drive Clean program on cause of restrictions from the June 4.

Wynne promises to make LRT phase two a priority Liberal government is only one that will see project through: premier Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

News – Ontario Premier Katheen Wynne travelled to Ottawa’s east end on June 4, making an appearance at Ottawa-Orléans Liberal candidate Marie-France Lalonde’s office.

Her hot topic was transit, specifically the light rail transit phase two extension. As she spoke, a map of the extension

hung in the background.

She promised, if elected, to make funding the second phase a priority. The second phase would bring the LRT to Place d’Orléans.

“Marie-France knows, and I know, how important this project is to the people of Orléans,” Wynne said to Liberal supporters inside the campaign office on Jeanne d’Arc Boulevard.

Wynne said the Liberal government will divide $29 billion in transit and infrastructure projects into two different funds that are based on population, stating Ottawa’s gridlock is unacceptable.

One fund would be for the Greater Toronto Area and Hamilton, the other a $14 bil-

lion fund for the rest of the province. She claimed Tim Hudak would fund projects in the GTA over Ottawa. “(Hudak will) take your LRT and plunk it down as a subway in downtown Toronto,” she said. “There’s already rivalry, do we need more?”

Wynne said the Progressive Conservative party will not be committed to transit and infrastructure projects outside of Toronto, and there were “years of neglect” and a backlog of projects when the Liberals came into power.

She highlighted Liberal successes through the last term to the crowd of all Liberal supporters and recognized outgoing MPP Phil McNeely who is

retiring. She said Marie-France Lalonde is a strong candidate for the area.

Lalonde thanked Wynne and said she was inspired by her leadership as she introduced the province’s premier.

“I’m proud to serve my community under her leadership,” Lalonde said.

Wynne also said the Liberals will fund the Ottawa River

Action Plan, which affects Orléans’ Petrie Island.

She didn’t elaborate on questions about whether or not she would consider an alliance with the NDP. “I have worked in a minority parliament for the last 16 months. If that’s what the people of Ontario chose, we will continue to work in a minority with whoever the government

is,” she said. “Beyond that, the hypotheticals get very abstract.”’

Hudak was in Orléans very early on in the campaign to help open Progressive Conservative candidate Andrew Lister s office. The same day Wynne was at Lalonde’s office, Hudak made an Ottawa appearance at a Nepean town hall.

Class Environmental Assessment Cambrian Road Widening (future realigned Greenbank Road to Jockvale Road);

Notice of Completion of Environmental Study Report The Environmental Study Report (ESR) for the Cambrian Road Widening Environmental Assessment (future realigned Greenbank Road to Jockvale Road) has been completed and has been placed on record June 12, 2014 for a 30-day public review period.

SAFE CYCLING

According to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website, Bruce Timmermans was a long-time cycling educator and advocate, an active member of the Ottawa Bicycle Club and a founding member of Citizens for Safe Cycling.

Each year the city hands out one individual award and one group award. The individual award honours an exemplary citizen who has proactively and publicly promoted the benefits of cycling as a principal mode of transportation.

In only two years, Partridge has accomplished this and more. The creation of the Vanier Velo Fest last year was a big part of that, an event that encouraged everyone in the community to celebrate cycling. The festival offers free helmets and T-shirts for children, a barbecue and bike rodeo. The event is made pos-

Sarah Partridge arrives at Ottawa-Vanierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-candidates debate on June 5 on her favourite mode of transportation -- her bike. The young cyclist receives the Bruce Timmermans award for her individual advocacy for cycling in Vanier on June 8. sible by donations and support from local partners.

But aside from organizing festivals, Partridge and her cycling committee have taken an active interest in the east-west bikeway, and ensuring the east-end connections not only get made, but make sense. Most recently, at the suggestion from the committee, Partridge led an effort to see Vanier- and Overbrookspecific paths were added to the official bikeway plans.

Partridge said she still has a lot of work to do to get cycling routes in the east end up to snuff. First up is continuing work to get bicycle lanes on

St. Patrick Bridge. Currently, more than seven community associations have joined the fight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hopeful that we will be successful,â&#x20AC;? Partridge said.

When asked if she ever gets weary of her community involvement, Partridge said she and the community are just getting started. â&#x20AC;&#x153;None of the initiatives would be possible without the Vanier communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support and interest,â&#x20AC;? Partridge said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel all this work is simply raising Vanierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cycling profile and that we love to bike.

I hope it inspires others to become involved.â&#x20AC;?

Community - Riding a bicycle is more than a just a way to get around for Vanier resident Sarah Partridge, who was recently honoured for her contribution to the cycling community.

Since moving to the neighbourhood, she has been involved with nurturing the local cycling community. Starting with joining the community association, Partridge helped create the associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s subcommittee, Vanier Cycles, and invited all area cyclists to participate in promoting cycling.

From there, Partridge has led the fight for better bike lanes and routes in the east end and helped launch the neighbourhoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual bike festival, which takes place each June.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to see how Partridge has changed the way people think about bicycles.

Recently awarded the Bruce Timmermans Award for her advocacy of cycling, Partridge said she just wanted to participate in the conversation and to promote riding to work.

After learning sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d won the award, Partridge said she was surprised and credited the achievement to the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Really, I know this award is for an individual, but it would not have happened if not for the strong community that made it possible,â&#x20AC;? she said.

With camping season ďŹ nally here after a long, drawn-out, and seemingly endless winter, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no wonder that everyone is eager to get outdoors to enjoy some fresh air and natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beauty. Unlike most major cities, Ottawa is blessed with a very unique and wonderful camping and recreation resource right within city limits. To the relief and excitement of outdoor enthusiasts across the region and beyond, the campgrounds on the site of the former Ottawa Municipal Campground (Corkstown Road in Ottawa West) is open for another season of great camping.

Now known as the Wesley Clover Parks Campground, the same friendly staff members that campers have come to rely on in the past are on site and are ready to welcome visitors.

Thanks to the reorganization of the ownership and management of the entire equestrian park, the campground will beneďŹ t from thorough upgrades and facility investments.

Few other campgrounds can offer everything that the Wesley Clover Parks Campground has available to its guests. A wide variety of sites can serve any type of camping unit, ranging from small tents to 45â&#x20AC;&#x2122; motorhomes, and the generous and well planned spacing means that everyone is able to enjoy the tranquility the campground has to offer. The services range from unserviced lots (perfect for tenting) up to 30 amp and water sites for the larger units (the campground does not offer full hook-ups at this time), with prices made to ďŹ t almost every budget. It can be reached by car or bicycle (as well as a public bus station approximately 4km from the park) and is situated just a short drive away from most of the attractions that Ottawa has to offer.

The Wesley Clover Parks Campground offers many of the amenities of a serviced provincial or national park. There are showers and ďŹ&#x201A;ush toilets, a laundromat, a campsite store, ice and ďŹ rewood on site, sanitary dump stations and free WiFi. Each site has a picnic table and ďŹ re-pit.

Best of all, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s located just 15 minutes from almost anywhere in the Ottawa area and is easily accessible from the 417. Plans are in place to offer shuttle services downtown on Canada Day, meaning you can enjoy the show on Parliament Hill and be back in front of your campďŹ re at the end of the day without having to arrange your own transportation. Camp Manager Don Murphy and his team are excited to have campers from across the country and the world discover the best that the Ottawa valley has to offer. As in the past, and back by popular demand, sites are available by the day starting at the unheard of low price of $29 per night, as well as package prices for week- and month-long stays.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever thought that camping with your family was out of reach or inaccessible due to travel constraints or household budget, the Wesley Clover Parks Campground has the answer. Why waste time stuck in trafďŹ c or travelling from camp to camp looking for that perfect spot when you can enjoy more time with family and friends in one of the best equipped and most accessible campgrounds in Ontario. Contact the Wesley Clover Parks Campground today at 613-828-6632 for more information or to make reservations, or go to www.wesleycloverparks.com and select â&#x20AC;&#x153;Campâ&#x20AC;?.

Dufresne Furniture

Grand Opening

By David Johnston Furniture shopping will never be the same. Often considered a confusing and overwhelming predicament by many would-be buyers, The Dufresne Group has revolutionized the furniture and appliance buying experience.

Gone are the endless lines of merchandise and fast talking sales people focused more on commissions than customer satisfaction.

Instead, the new Dufresne Home Furnishings store at 290 West Hunt Club Road is a state-of-the-art journey of discovery into what will enhance and improve your life and style.

“Our goal is to ensure our guests find the furniture, mattresses and appliances that work best for them and make their life simpler,” said Troy Davis, President TDG. “It’s about finding that perfect fit for their unique life and style, all within their budget.”

Walking into the fresh, bright store is in itself an experience. You enter Inspiration Way, and are greeted by friendly staff who assist you with your own personal journey of discovery to reveal what furnishings and accessories best suit your needs.

“With this new store, we went back to the drawing board,” said Davis. “We explored every corner of the shopping journey and asked ourselves how we could make the experience easier, less stressful, and ultimately, fun.”

The result was “collections merchandising” rather than traditional category arrangement.

The new location, carefully crafted into 23,000 square feet of showroom, features three main furniture style collections: Current Classic, Cozy Casual and Modern Chic. A couple minutes at a conveniently located computer screen allows the shopper to discover their own style and then simply stroll to that section of the well-laid out store. There they will find a myriad of choices awaiting as the My Custom concept allows buyers to match colours, fabrics, finishes, legs and much more.

“To find that perfect fit, Dufresne combines education, expertise and science into the guest experience—one that could be better described as a journey,” said Davis.

“Our sales professionals take the time to get to know each guest and their specific style preferences, room situation and lifestyle needs.”

First, a customer selects their “fit”, starting with the largest piece for the room, such as a sofa or dining set.

Then personal creativity takes over as you can modify almost every aspect of any piece of furniture. Choose a frame and then customize it with arms from Creighton, Leeds, Marymount, Meadowridge and Ottawa.

Finally, you can “refine your look” by selecting the colour and fabric that fit your décor.

“Extensive custom order options and complete room solution packages with unique vertical merchandising help ensure a complete offering to the guest,” said Davis.

Find your ultimate life and style by simply taking the journey. Cozy Casual is a relaxed collection, combining comfortable, over-sized pieces with warm fabrics and distressed leathers for a vintage look. Modern Chic features simple, clean lines matched with bold accents for an urban expression. Current Classics creates timeless elegance with antique-inspired designs and a sophisticated attention to detail.

Dufresne redefines furniture shopping at new Hunt Club location “You dream, we listen, and together we discover,” said Davis.

And when it comes to dreaming, Davis says Dufresne has also revolutionized the art of sleeping well.

Dufresne President Troy Davis displays some of the many options available to create your custom table from the My Custom collection.

shopping. Sometimes it is hard for a person to articulate what they want or need in a mattress but the journey helps you find exactly what you are looking for. It’s not just about product and price; our focus is on providing a sleep solution that lays the foundation for a healthier life.”

The same can be said for appliances. The only difference is that the journey starts with a functional assessment to determine what type of machine best suits the application. With all the top brands available, such as Kitchen Aid, Whirlpool and Maytag, the Dufresne team can easily match you to the appliance that fits best.

Ottawa Dufresne franchise owner Andre Desrochers is proud of the new location, and thanked his staff and contractors for their dedication and long hours to bring the project to fruition.

“We are very excited to be in this new location with such an amazing store,” said Desrochers. “A lot of effort went into making this a reality and now we are ready to launch a whole new way to buy furniture. Our visual presentation team did an amazing job and I am proud of the efforts of all my staff.”

This is the second Dufresne location in Ottawa. The existing Gloucester location at 1901 Cyrville Road has also recently been renovated to match the new style of the Hunt Club store. Both stores are open Monday – Friday 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. – 6 p.m.

You can find out more about the Dufresne “collections” buying experience online at www.dufresne.ca.

“Walk the journey and take five minutes to find the best sleep of your life,” says Davis.

The first step is to analyze how you sleep. With the aid of high-tech science, the staff at Dufresne reveal what you need to sleep better. Then you sample the mattresses and pillows that suit your profile.

“This takes the guess work out of mattress

Lighting Your Way

to the perfect choice in furnishings, bedding and appliances, Dufresne Furniture has revolutionized the buying experience by creating a journey of discovery for the shopper.

With a snip of the ribbon the new state-of-the-art Dufresne Furniture Store was officially opened May 29 at 290 West Hunt Club Road. On hand for the ceremony were Dufresne President Troy Davis, Franchise Owner Andre Desrochers, Spokesperson Sarah Freemark, VP Kraig Hickel and Store Manager Mick Foley.

City launches lawsuit against bridge designer Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - The city launched a $4.6 million lawsuit against the Airport Parkway footbridge designer and has disciplined staff over the botched project.

The lawsuit filed against WSP Canada Inc., which was known as Genivar when the city hired the company to design a gateway pedestrian and cycling bridge connecting the South Keys community to Greenboro shopping centre and Transitway station in 2010.

Major issues with the design of the bridge forced the city to stop construction and hire another firm, Delcan, to revise the plans and take over construction. Now, the bridge that was originally slated for completion in 2012 is expected to be done by the end of this year.

During a finance and economic development committee meeting on June 3, councillors received an update on the city’s actions following a damning independent report on the project from March that slammed the bridge designer and city staff.

FAULTS

The report from SEG Management Consultants, Inc. detailed staff com-

The city has launched a $4.6-million lawsuit against the company that supplied a faulty design for the overdue pedestrian bridge over the Airport Parkway. munication issues and faulty procedures that contributed to the problems plaguing the project.

Watson confirmed on June 3 that no city staff had lost their jobs over the fiasco, but disciplinary letters had been appended to staff files and there was at least one suspension without pay, although the mayor wouldn’t say how many staffers has been suspended, nor

their seniority or the duration of the suspension.

City manager Kent Kirkpatrick declined to go into detail about what disciplinary action he doled out.

“I have applied what is, in my opinion, the right level of discipline to the staff that were involved in the project,” he said after the meeting.

Even councillors were left in the

dark about the details of the disciplinary action, despite the finance and economic committee going into a private “in camera” session to discuss personnel matters.

Information from the SEG report and a separate city auditor general report on procedural issues have prompted the city to make changes to its protocols for communication on infrastructure projects and when managers should get involved, Kirkpatrick said.

That “culture change” in the department includes more than 30 different actions that will all be implemented by 2015, he said.

“I am confident by the end of this year the staff in (infrastructure services) will be well focused on the kind of oversight that’s required in managing consultants and contractors, specifically with regards to risk identification, budget and schedule,” he said.

Kirkpatrick and Watson agreed that while some of the blame for the project going off the rails lies with city staff, they focused the brunt of the blame on the bridge’s design – hence, the lawsuit.

“The primary responsibility for what has happened and has been the failure of this project to date is the responsibility of the design engineers,” Kirkpatrick said.

Although the dollar value of the lawsuit isn’t as large as some of the city’s past legal actions, Kirkpatrick said seeking $4.6 million is a “significant lawsuit” given the small size of the project.

The money being sought would cover the cost overruns of having to redesign and rebuild components of the bridge, which originally had a $6.8-million price tag when the project was launched in 2010.

The city’s $4.6-million lawsuit adds to the mess of litigation already underway as a result of the bridge project, with contractors and subcontractors Watson said the issues with the pedestrian bridge have caused ongoing frustration but said they should be viewed in context.

“We had over the course of the last several years literally hundreds of projects because of the infrastructure funds from the other levels of government. Well over 95 per cent of those projects arrived on time and on budget,” he said.

“The challenge with this project is it’s way off budget, has not been properly executed, there are problems with everything from the cement to the design ... and it’s a very high-profile project.

People see it going back and forth from the south end and the airport.”

Continuing east-west bikeway city a priority for 2014 hall. Registration is required. Email oconnorbikeway@ottawa.ca to sign up.

Capital Coun. David Chernushenko said the intent is making the route bidirectional, whether that means having both north- and southbound lanes on O’Connor, which is a oneway southbound street, or by having northbound cyclists use Metcalfe Street.

“It’s hugely important,” he said.

Having a dedicated bike route that’s safer – whether it’s delineated with a painted line, segregated with posts or separated from traffic as a raised cycle track – would encourage people to use their bikes to get downtown and to Lansdowne, Chernushenko said.

Bank Street was designed with wider sidewalks and no bike lanes when it was rebuilt three years ago and north-south cycle lanes on further west on Lyon and Percy streets aren’t continuous, he said.

News - The city is touting $70 million it intends to sink into 79 cycling projects over the next 15 years.

Councillors received an update on bicycle projects and policies during a transportation committee meeting on June 4.

The financial commitment for the next 15 years is $70 million, or around $4.6 million a year. That’s a reduction from the annual investment in cycling made over this term of council, which has seen the city invest $28 million since the 2010 election, although city staff said another $40 million is intended to be “available” for major cycling projects.

The $70 million represents the cycling projects outlined in the “affordability plan” as part of the city’s transportation master plan update last fall. It includes 40 cycling facility projects to be completed in the first phase before 2019 and 39 projects in the decade after.

The plan includes three major projects – pedestrian and cycling bridges at the old Prince of Wales rail bridge over the Ottawa River, a Donald-Somerset connection and a bridge near Lansdowne at Fifth Avenue and Clegg.

The east-west bikeway – an extension of the Laurier Avenue segregated bike lane – is the major project in the city’s core. It will connect Westboro through downtown to Vanier, though the entire route won’t be segregated with collapsible poles, like the Laurier section. The portions east of Elgin Street in Sandy Hill, Lowertown and Vanier are to be completed this year.

A “missing link” from Laurier to Albert Street is also priority, a project set to get underway in 2015. After the light-rail system comes online in 2018, there are cycle tracks planned

Completing the east-west bikeway and adding at cycling routes in the Glebe, Little Italy and Sussex Drive are on the books for cycling projects this year. for Albert Street, which currently forms the westbound portion of the bus Transitway.

Another downtown project in the works is an extension of O-Train pathway that opened in 2013. The new section would extend from Young Street to Carling Avenue, with a signalized crossing at Carling.

In the Glebe, a series of cyclinglane projects are underway with a view to easing access to Lansdowne Park when it re-opens sporting events

in July. Holmwood, Glebe, First and Fifth avenues will form the east-west access.

Further east, a bike lane is being added to Sussex Drive between St. Patrick Street in Lowertown and the existing lanes that start at the Rideau River.

The city’s cycling initiatives also include adding bike parking, include 150 new ring-and-post sites and a new pilot project to add on-street bike parking “corrals” in two vehicle

St. Pat’s students grieve after prom-night murder Police suspect alcohol a factor in homicide erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - As police work to piece together the events that led to the stabbing death of an 18-year-old St. Patrick’s High School student just hours after the school’s downtown prom, friends and classmates are remembering Brandon Volpi as a gentle giant.

Dolapo Asaju, who attended Grade 12 with Volpi, said she was initially intimidated by the young man, who stood well over six feet.

“I was scared, like, ‘Oh my god. He’s going to do something,’” she said with a smile.

“You would never think someone so big … was so sweet.”

It was in Grade 10 that she learned how kind he was as they walked to lunch with a mutual friend, and Asaju didn’t have money for a meal.

“And so he bought me lunch,” she said outside her school on Monday, June 9, as mourning friends and classmates cried and hugged one another. “That’s how I got to know him and then we just used to say hi to each other.

He was so nice to everyone that knew him. He was just a wonderful person.”

About two-thirds of the 253 students from St. Patrick’s graduating class celebrated the end of the school year at their prom on June 6 at the National Arts Centre on Elgin Street in downtown Ottawa.

Asaju said she saw him there and they said hi.

“He looked really happy.

There was nothing wrong,” she said, adding Volpi left the celebration early, around 7:30 p.m.

One-hundred-and-fifty students were signed in during the celebration and supervised by 20 staff members, from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m., said Mardi de Kemp, spokeswoman for the Ottawa Catholic

School Board. “The event went well and ended at 10:30 (p.m.) without incident.”

Police are now working to determine what happened next.

While investigators remain tight-lipped about the active investigation, Asaju said her school is abuzz with word that Volpi had been walking a friend back to Les Suites Hotel.

Students from at least two high schools – St. Patrick’s and St. Pius X – planned to stay there overnight, confirmed Staff Sgt. Robert Drummond, who is managing the homicide case.

Asaju was also told that Volpi’s friend had gotten into an argument earlier in the evening.

It doesn’t surprise Asaju that Volpi had come to someone’s assistance.

“Everyone goes to Brandon because he’s brave and strong and he can protect,” she said.

Police were called to 130 Besserer St., at the top of Dalhousie Street, around 3:35 a.m. on Saturday after Volpi had been stabbed outside the hotel. The teen was transported to hospital where he died from his injuries.

Drummond, who co-heads the Ottawa police major crime section, declined to confirm media reports that Volpi had been stabbed in the chest and neck, to protect the evidence in the case.

“There was an altercation between two different groups,” he said, adding that alcohol may have played a role in the homicide.

“We all know people behave differently (when alcohol is used),” said Drummond.

A second male also received minor injuries that night, and was treated and released from hospital. His name was not released by police.

“He’s not a suspect,” said

Drummond.

The news of Volpi’s death was all over Facebook by the time Asaju woke the next morning.

“I was like crying and yelling. Just unbelievable,” she said. “He’s Brandon.”

When she arrived at St. Patrick’s for class Monday morning, students were gathered around Volpi’s locker.

“Everyone was talking, sharing their stories,” Asaju said, just as they had at a vigil on Sunday night outside the hotel where Volpi was mortally wounded.

“It’s prom night and then it’s three weeks to graduation and we were all hoping to graduate together,” she said.

Psychologists and social workers were at the school on Monday, the first day back to classes after the prom-night murder. Pictures of Volpi, candles and memory books were placed in the school’s foyer, office and chapel to help students with the grieving process.

“It’s very sad at the school,” said de Kemp, adding that Volpi was active in school wrestling and rugby.

“He was a very popular kid and somebody that everybody knew, and a Grade 12 student right at the end of his (academic) career,” she said.

A private memorial service to honour Volpi will be held at St. Patrick’s High School, though the details had not been organized before the News’ press time. The slain teen will also be remembered during the school’s graduation ceremony on June 26, said de Kemp.

Meanwhile, though the police investigation into the homicide continues, reports that a person of interest in the case are “misleading,” said Drummond. “To be honest we don’t discuss people until they’re in custody and before the courts.”

ERIN MCCRACKEN/METROLAND

Flowers and candles outside Les Suites Hotel in downtown Ottawa memorialize Grade 12 St. Patrick’s High School student Brandon Volpi, who suffered fatal stab wounds outside the hotel in the early morning hours of June 7.

Major crime investigators are being assisted in the case by school resource, forensic identification and general assignment officers.

Ottawa police are urging anyone with information on the case to come forward.

“We’re still looking for

anyone who was at the scene who witnessed the altercation involving the victim, Brandon, to come forward and assist us,” Drummond said, adding that even small details may prove helpful to investigators.

“Every piece of the puzzle

is important,” the 18-year Ottawa police veteran said.

“Doesn’t matter how small or how big. Don’t assume that other witnesses have already filled us in on everything.

“Every person’s story is individual and we want to hear it,” Drummond said.

Take extra steps to stay healthy for your getaway News - This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harsh winter may have pushed you astray from your healthy routines, leaving the immune system vulnerable to attack.

Make sure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re prepared for your travels this summer by keeping fit and by avoiding the disappointment of a last-

minute illness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Getting into a healthy routine will help all of us enjoy our time off, in addition to maintaining those fitness resolutions,â&#x20AC;? said Helen Sherrard, president of the Canadian Health Food Association (CHFA). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once

youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re accustomed to eating well, exercising regularly and supplementing your diet with the appropriate natural health products, your quality of life will improve, especially when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re away on vacation.â&#x20AC;?

CHFA suggests that there are many ways to boost your

health and prevent illness.

The key is finding a routine that works for you and sticking to it; even when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on vacation.

A healthy routine can include getting six to eight hours of sleep, maintaining healthy habits for dealing with stress,

limiting your alcohol consumption, and finding time to get some exercise.

Other, more delicious ways of ensuring you stay healthy on your getaway involve foods with natural and organic ingredients.

Choose the healthy option

at a restaurant and avoid the temptation of junk food. For example, you can increase your intake of omega-3 fatty acids by consuming fatty fish, like salmon and tuna.

A healthy lifestyle can be complemented with natural health products. More information is available from your healthcare practitioner or online at chfa.ca.

New Sawmill Creek pathway extension to open soon $2.5-million paved path touted as fully accessible cycling and pedestrian route erin.mccracken@metroland.com

News - A new $2.5-million pedestrian and cycling pathway along Sawmill Creek is expected to open by the end of June, which will allow more commuters to get out of their cars and on their bikes, said the city’s River Ward councillor.

The 1.2-kilometre north-south stretch extends north along the Airport Parkway from the existing Sawmill Creek pathway at the Walkley Road transitway station and links with the existing Brookfield Road pathway, just west of the pedestrian bridge over the creek.

“I can’t imagine how cool it’s going to be to be a cyclist hopping on that pathway, knowing you can safely navigate that very busy corridor and not have to be in the middle of traffic,” said Coun. Maria McCrae, one of the driving forces behind the pathway extension.

“It’s an alternate form of transportation that gets cars off the road. And when you hear people complaining about congestion, certainly anything we can do to get cars off the road is important.”

Money for the extension was secured in the city’s 2012 budget, and construction got underway late last summer following a public consultation process.

The three-metre-wide strip is now fully paved, retaining walls have been constructed in places where the grade along the creek is steep, and several trees have been planted along the off-road corridor.

Final steps include some landscaping and an inspection before the city can officially take over the infrastructure, said McCrae, who has, in her excitement, regularly tweeted the progress that’s been made on the

pathway.

The pathway extension also been built with the future in mind.

“For anyone who’s questioning whether that pathway was built to allow for future expansion of the Airport Parkway, absolutely,” McCrae said, noting an environmental assessment on the parkway’s expansion is slated to begin soon. “So there will be no re-digging it up or anything.”

The path will also translate into an economic boost in the surrounding neighbourhood and in the greater region because it will not only draw tourists, but also residents who may be considering moving to the community, said McCrae.

She pointed to Washington D.C. and Portland, Ore. as examples of cities that have experienced increased economic development thanks to their extensive pedestrian and cycling networks.

The creation of the Sawmill Creek recreational-use pathway was first envisioned by McCrae about a decade ago when she first took office.

Work on the Sawmill Creek Constructed Wetlands had begun, and she said she saw potential for the development of pathways in the area.

But McCrae was told by city staff these were earmarked for trucks accessing storm-water ponds, and that there were no plans for recreational use in the area. McCrae then pushed for paths between Walkley and Hunt Club roads to be groomed.

“But as soon as you got to Walkley, you had no where to go, so if you had a stroller or a walker or a wheelchair you were sort of stuck on the pathway,” McCrae said.

Once Nancy Schepers took up the post as deputy city manager of planning and infrastructure, the two worked together to make the Sawmill Creek pathway extension a reality.

“That was way to easy!”

PHOTO COURTESY CARINA DUCLOS

A worker recently rolls out strips of grass sod along the edges of the newly extended Sawmill Creek pathway. The 1.2-kilometre multi-use corridor, that has since been paved, is expected to open by the end of June.

“We agreed that having that safe, very important north-south corridor was a priority in our transportation network,” McCrae said.

Credit for the project’s successful completion also goes to city engineer Carina Duclos and project manager Tara Blasioli, who ensured the multiuse corridor was finished on time and on budget, McCrae said.

The path was designed to help link commuters working downtown and living south of the city.

“For me, you can put your bike on the O-Train, hop off at Confederation (Heights), which is very close to Brookfield (Road), get on that pathway and cycle all the way up to Hunt Club Road, which is a tremendous opportunity to get cars off the road and get a little bit of fitness in at the same time,” McCrae said.

“I’m a happy councillor.”

“I just clicked and saved 90%”

Did you WagJag and get in on the savings?

“I can't believe I saved so much... ”

Cybersecurity incubator opens office doors at Orleans city hall Katrice Sutherland ksutherland@metroland.com

News - A not-for-profit corporation that plans to provide cyber-security for governments and corporations opened the doors to its new office in Orléans on May 29.

What once held a town council table and theatre space has been renovated into phase one of the VENUS Cybersecurity expansion in the former Cumberland city hall.

Contributing members, councilors, and Mayor Jim Watson joined the company’s executive director, Tony Bailetti, for a ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the creation of the umbrella group for national cybersecurity in Orléans.

VENUS (virtual environment for networks of ubiquitous security) is a think space for members interested in developing security software.

VENUS will provide space and expertise to new small cybersecurity companies.

Bailetti says the goal of the corporation is to make Canada a global leader in cybersecurity by bringing Canada’s leading innovators under one roof.

Facility renovations for phase one of three parts included upgrading the office area with entirely new security systems.

“We are now using a fully secure, state-of-the-art system: motion detectors, badge and card access, cameras, security guards,” said operations manager Jessie Malette.

“We’re very secure in this building.”

The first customers are the City of Ottawa, Communications Security Establishment Canada, the National Research Council, and the Ontario government.

Telus and Hydro Quebec will also sign on for assistance with hacking issues.

“We’ve identified 20 working cyber security problems in Ontario’s government that we can fix,” said Jeff Tracey, head of business development.

The corporation holds a partnership contract with three levels of government and the city has agreed to pay 15 months of VENUS’s rent in order to get the company up and running.

Eventually the company will have an operating budget funded by memberships.

The $250,000 membership fee will provide associates an atmosphere to develop and drive their own projects, keep their intellectual property – and in turn VENUS will supply $2.5 million worth of man power to help along their research.

Fifty students are currently enrolled in the technology and innovations management program at Carleton University under the instruction of Bailetti.

Bailetti hopes to combat credential inflation and employ eligible students from programs of this nature.

VENUS intends to train its employees to help members with research and eventually aid them in developing their own ventures.

Tracey describes the company as an eco-system, where all parts of the corporation will help to maintain each other.

“We are looking to create research and nurture thought leadership that will help develop long-term businesses in local areas,” said Tracey.

To date, VENUS already employs 25 members and intends to create 3,000 jobs by 2017.

KATRICE SUTHERLAND/ METROLAND

Mayor Jim Watson, left, and Tony Bailetti, president of the company cut the ribbon to welcome VENUS Cybersecurity offices to Orleans on May 29.

We can’t predict the weather but there are many things to do to prepare your home for it Despite a year of extreme weather, Canadians do not feel any more prepared to deal with its potential impacts, according to the seventh annual RBC Canadian Water Attitudes Study. In fact, only half (52 per cent) feel prepared to cope with the adverse effects of severe thunderstorms. About 38 per cent feel prepared for flooding and a mere 27 per cent feel prepared for hurricanes.

4. Install a back-flow valve or a backup generator for basement sewage drains or sump pumps.

“With extreme weather events on the rise, it’s likely that most Canadians will experience moderate to severe weather events in their area sometime this year,” says Paula Bandi, Senior Product Manager, Home, RBC Insurance. “Learning what actions to take can help Canadians protect themselves, their family and their home in the event of an emergency.”

8. Have large trees that are growing directly over pipes checked every three years to ensure there are no cracks where roots can enter and grow.

RBC Insurance® offers these important tips to help Canadian homeowners prepare for extreme weather events: 1. Inspect the roof annually, checking for missing, curled or damaged shingles. If any, speak with a professional roofing contractor.

2. Maintain eavestroughs and keep them clear of debris.

3. Seal any cracks in foundation walls and floors.

5. Install downspout extensions, rain barrels and splash pads to ensure water is flowing away from your home.

6. Keep outdoor storm sewer grates clear of debris.

7. Keep trees and shrubs trimmed to avoid branches or trees falling onto your home or your neighbour’s home.

9. Install impact-resistant windows and doors and, at least once a year, check that they’re secure and re-caulk as needed.

10. Put together an emergency kit of first aid items and supplies, and identify the safest area of your home for shelter.

Art, Aboriginal culture and history to be highlighted at LeBreton Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - The National Capital Commission wants to know which elements of three themes – history, aboriginal culture and art – people would like to see in new public areas at LeBreton Flats.

The federal agency plans to spend up to $700,000 to make improvements to three corners of the vacant Booth Street and Wellington Street intersection.

The themes emerged from a May 13 consultation the NCC held. Richard Daigneault, the NCC’s lead on the project, said he wants feedback on which ideas and elements should be incorporated into the new public spaces.

“It could include different aspects of each theme and maybe a combination,” he said.

The historical theme, titled “Homage,” is centred on the history of the flats as an industrial area with pulp and paper manufacturing with a workingclass heritage.

David Flemming of Heritage Ottawa was encouraged to see the concepts presented because he said Ottawa needs to do a better job of recognizing the history of the labourers who built the capital.

“One of the things that’s always been lacking on the flats is a real appreciation of what it has been to the city of Ottawa,” Flemming said. “This

was the industrial transportation centre of the city, before it was the capital ... So I think we need somewhere to do this.”

Flemming suggested merging the “Homage” theme and interpretive signs with a theme suggested to honour the Aboriginal experience of the site, titled “Pimisi Gateway.”

That theme suggests building large landscape art using soil and grass landforms integrated with water and floral elements to celebrate the Algonquin nation’s cultural symbol, the Kichisippi pimisi (eel), which the future lightrail station at the site is named after.

The third theme, “Capital Artscape,” resonated most with Nour Aoudé, a blogger and ‘urban decoder’ for Youthful Cities, a global initiative to rank the world’s top 100 cities from a youth perspective.

The theme aims to make the area into a creative space with public art, community art programs and interactive elements.

SUBMITTED “I like the forward-looking side,” Aoudé said. “Art and contemporary The National Capital Commission is looking for feedback on which elements of three themes – history, design speaks to me and what I want public art and Aboriginal culture – to include in plans for new public spaces at the major intersection in LeBreton Flats.

Tierney re-elected municipal federation rep laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Beacon Hill-Cyrville Coun. Tim Tierney has been reelected as the vice-chairman of the Ontario caucus of the Federation of Municipalities of Canada.

The east-end councillor was the city’s first representative on the nationwide body when he became a committee member three years ago.

He was re-elected to the vicechairman role during the federation’s annual general meeting last month.

Tierney said having a voice at that table – and a role setting the agenda for what the Ontario caucus will discuss – is of benefit to Ottawa.

Safety concerns surrounding level rail crossings have become a topic of interest for municipalities across Ontario and Canada and the federation is working on the issue with the federal government.

The group was also involved in “closing the loophole” that prevented municipalities from having a say in the location of communication towers within their jurisdiction, Tierney said.

Renewing federal commitments to housing and homelessness funding agreements and advocating for how the Build Canada federal infrastructure funding program are also on the federation’s agenda, Tierney said.

Consultation At the second public open house held in February 2014, the Study Team presented a Preliminary Preferred Design for Carp Road that included roundabout intersections, a narrow raised median and, a multi-use pathway on both sides of the corridor. Having regard for public input, the Study Team has re-evaluated the alternatives, placing a greater emphasis on providing for adjacent site access and on minimizing property requirements.

This third Open House will provide an overview of the study progress to-date, including a Recommended Plan for the corridor. This Recommended Plan now includes traffic signals at major intersections, two-way left-turn lane in some sectors, intermittent medians, and a multi-use pathway along both sides of the corridor. Your participation in Open House meetings is important where you can discuss the project with the study team and provide feedback.

The EA Study is being undertaken in accordance with Ontario’s EA Act, fulfilling requirements as a Municipal Class EA process for a Schedule ‘C’ project. The EA process involves developing, assessing, and evaluating alternatives, which result in a Recommended Plan that will be presented to City Council for approval.

Further information on the Carp Road Widening EA Study is available at ottawa.ca/carproad Interested persons can provide comments throughout the EA process. Any comments received will be collected under the EA Act and, with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record.

Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accommodation, please e-mail the project lead below before the event.

New Friday night space for Wabano youth Drug prevention program offers kids a new place to hang out Michelle Nash michelle.nash@metroland.com

News - Staff at the Wabano Centre are hoping a revamped space in the facility’s basement will become the place to be for young people on Friday nights.

The Youth Safe Zone at the Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health will be open every week from 3 to 8 p.m. for young people 13 and up to let loose on a Friday night.

The events will also include drug prevention programming which will vary in length, but program coordinator Bailley Taylor said the main point is simply for kids to have a place to go and have a good time.

“We want it to be a safe place that they want to come

to,” Taylor said. “The reality is this safe zone is keeping the kids off the street and giving them something to do, and really that is part of drug prevention, too.”

The improvements to the basement area include computers, gaming systems, a music studio, arts and crafts area and a lounge area for those who show up.

Taylor’s structured portion of the evening will be anything but, she said.

Growing up on a reservation where drugs and alcohol abuse was all around her, she said the experience helped her choose to say no.

“I learned from watching other people screw up all around me. I didn’t want that,” she said.

“Even if I only reach out to one student out of 30, that’s still one and hopefully it will spread to the others. I want Fridays to be a place where they can come and feel comfortable and want to be here.”

What she plans to do is bring in speakers, bring in examples of how much drugs can ruin a life and make the

“It’s not going to be about reading or listening to a lecture -- they do that all day in school. When they come here we want to make it fun and want to learn.”

The drug prevention portion of the evening will be short, and after, any students who participated are welcome to stay in the centre until 8 p.m. doing as they please, including making dinner for themselves and other students.

Dinner will be provided by the Wasa-nabin youth kitchen, another Wabano program.

“It’s great, they will learn how to cook and clean as well,” Taylor said.

Funding for the programming has been provided by the federal and provincial governments.

Although only 15 youth can participate in the kitchen program, the Safe Zone can take an unlimited amount of students Taylor said.

Bus lanes planned for the middle of Baseline Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

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 expressing 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. 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.

“The fewer times the bus stops, the faster it runs,” Hopper said. “It’s a trade off between having enough bus stops and the speed.”

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.

“Our concern is where the stops are,” 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.

“At the west end, it’s focused on certain terminals, but at the east end there is no terminal,” McCaw said. “There has to be a decent connection between these buses and the O-Train, otherwise what’s the point of having faster

ottawa

buses?”

Several people in attendance, including McCaw, were encouraged by the late addition of cycle tracks along Baseline – a raised bicycle lane along the sidewalk to separate cyclists from vehicular traffic.

Andrea D’Agostino of the QueenswayTerrance 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 city’s last chance to create an east-west cycling route in the area because the city chose to put “sharrow” markings on Meadowlands Drive to indicate that cyclists and motorists should share the lane.

“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,” 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 LAURA MUELLER/METROLAND the existing road right-of-way, said the city’s Participants make notes on a map outlining the city’s plans for a rapid-transit corridor on manager for the project, Jabbar Siddique.

At the meeting, City Staff will provide information on the process and objectives and identify preliminary design issues to be addressed by the study. You will have the opportunity to meet and discuss your comments with the study team.

The City’s Transportation Master Plan (TMP 2013) identifies the Western Light Rail Transit Corridor Extension as a component of the future expanded rapid transit network, integral to achieving modal share targets for public transportation.

Study Area The Study Area extends between the existing Transitway (from a junction south of Lincoln Fields Station) and Bayshore Station, along Highway 417.

The Environmental Assessment portion of the study will be undertaken in accordance with the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects. The final Environmental Project Report will be integrated with that of the Western Light Rail Transit Corridor (Bayview to Baseline) Planning and Environmental Assessment Study.

STAY SAFE THIS SUMMER It’s official – summer is in full swing. And while some might assume that the return of warm weather simply means more barbecues, bike rides, and beaches, it’s important to remember the safety precautions that go along with all those fun summer activities.

HOME ALONE PHOTOS BY STEPH WILLEM/METROLAND

D-Day artifacts Above: A V-1 rocket, which was the first of Nazi Germany’s ‘vengeance weapons’ used during the Second World War, was on display at the Canadian War Museum from June 6 to 8, part of the 70th anniversary commemoration of D-Day - the Allied invasion of France during the war. The unmanned V-1s, which were essentially an early cruise missile, were launched from the European mainland to hit targets in England.

This example was collected and shipped to Canada by a recovery team led by late author Farley Mowat, who served in the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment and helped secure rare artifacts at war’s end.

Right: A set of bagpipes owned by Maj. Sam Scott of the Cameron Highlanders was also on display at the museum. Scott played the bagpipes as his fellow Canadians landed on Juno Beach on the morning of June 6, 1944.

WATER SAFETY There is nothing quite as refreshing as a dip in the pool – or lake – on a scorching hot day. However, there are heightened safety precautions to take when it comes to children around any body of water.

Always keep children within arms’ reach, in and around the water. Make sure they wear lifejackets or person flotation devices in and around the water. Most importantly, never leave a child alone, whether it’s in a swimming pool, lake, river, or bathtub.

Speaking of tubs, children under the age of five should never use a hot tub – not even with an adult. Hot tubs are far too hot for young children, may contain large amounts of bacteria, and the drain in the hot tub can be a hazard to small kids.

CAR SAFETY Did you know that your car’s interior temperature can reach as high as 93 degrees Celsius in as little as 10 minutes? It comes as no surprise, then, that you should never leave a child – or pet – in your car, even with the windows partly rolled down. Children are especially at risk for heat exhaustion and heat stroke because their bodies cannot regulate temperature as well as an adult’s.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the safety of a child, please contact the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa immediately.

The Child and Family Services Act does not identify an age when a child can be left alone, or an age at which a child can supervise or babysit other children. The Act recognizes that age alone is not a sufficient safeguard for the supervision of children. A person who has charge of a child less than 16 years of age cannot leave the child without making provision for his/her care or supervision that is reasonable under the circumstances.

Christmas in July: Barrhaven students hold toy drive Students rally to provide goodies for underprivileged peers Katrice Sutherland ksutherland@metroland.com

News- Eight-year-old Oliver Zhang stands proudly in the front hall of his school, holding buckets full of shovels he knows are going to enrich another childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summer.

Some underprivileged students have few toys and activities to entertain themselves over the three-month break, which is why a class from Barrhaven Public School put together a summer toy drive.

Grade 2 teacher Kendra PrestonBrooks said she challenged some of her students to give back to the community before they went off on their summer adventures.

The response has been inspiring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I suggested it, but Oliver ran with it and others caught on to it,â&#x20AC;? said the proud teacher.

The students have watched a single empty box in the front foyer of

the school grow into 10 boxes overflowing with toys.

The goal is to collect new and like-new sunny day toys such as skipping ropes, small shovels, pails and bouncy balls as well as rainy day toys such as decks of cards, dominos, crayons and markers.

To date, the drive has exceeded all expectations.

When the project first started they were only hoping to collect enough toys for eight to 10 donation bags but the young volunteers are now able to put together almost 30.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is meant to make a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life a little easier over the break.â&#x20AC;?

KENDRA PRESTON-BROOKS

The toys have been donated by friends and families of the students and community members. They planned to continue collecting until the end of May. Packages will be distributed to schools where kids will make good use of the toys throughout the Ottawa region prior to students leaving for

the summer break. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I contacted colleagues in other schools I knew would be receptive, that could identify children who would benefit from it the most,â&#x20AC;? said Preston-Brooks.

The class has been helping to make announcements, sort and assemble the toys and decorate the boxes and bags. Through the school year, indigent students have teachers to offer guidance, time with friends, and an extra resource for food. Over the summer, some students may not be getting the same vacation time others are because home life is not as healthy an atmosphere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People may not be looking forward to their summer. Sometimes school means being safer, having a pleasant place to be and tasks to keep preoccupied,â&#x20AC;? said Preston-Brooks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is meant to make a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life a little easier over the break.â&#x20AC;?

Preston-Brooks said she wants her class to identify problems in their community and always be thinking of ways to help solve them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe we could do this next year,â&#x20AC;? said Oliver, hoping this toy drive will be the beginning of an annual fundraiser for underprivileged kids.

Waste Management looks for environmental approval John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - There’s lot of plans involved as Waste Management applies for Environmental Compliance Approval from the provincial government for its new landfill site, called the West Carleton Environmental Centre, on Carp Road just north of highway 417.

There’s a Landscape Development Plan, an Environmental Monitoring Plan, an Air Quality Monitoring Plan, a Noise Monitoring Plan, a Forest compensation Plan and a Wetland Enhancement Plan.

In addition, Waste Management is pledging to follow Best Management Practices.

There’s Atmospheric Best Management Practices covering dust, landfill gas, combustion by-products, noise, landfill construction, waste water, chemical storage use and handling and solid waste acceptance and handling.

Then there’s Groundwater Best Management Practices which cover road and parking area maintenance, imported

fill, fires, erosion and sediment control and structural and inspection measures.

Waste Management held an open house regarding its draft Environmental Compliance Approval applications for this West Carleton Environmental Centre on Wednesday evening, June 4 at the NeXT Restaurant in Stittsville.

A number of display boards dealing with the various aspects of the application such as the various plans and best management practices were set up around the room.

In addition, there were Waste Management personnel and consultants on hand to respond to any questions about the information on the display boards.

Another open house about this Environmental Compliance Approval application for the West Carleton Environmental Centre will be held on Thursday, June 26 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the NeXT Restaurant at the corner of Hazeldean Road and West Ridge Drive in Stittsville.

The Environmental Com-

pliance Approval being sought

by Waste Management is for a new landfill that will accept up to 400,000 metric tones of waste per year, with a total capacity of 6.5 million cubic metres. Hours of operation are proposed to be 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Monday to Friday and 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays.

There will be ten phases used in developing the total landfill.

The traffic impact assessment accompanying the application notes the need for a northbound left turn lane leading into the site, based on existing and forecasted site traffic.

The access will be a new one in the vicinity of the existing Laurysen Kitchens access off Carp Road.

The application proposes limiting the size of the active working face of the landfill to 900 square metres. In addition, this landfill working face will have to be covered daily with appropriate cover materials in order to reduce odour emissions and landfill gas emissions.

James Robert â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bobbyâ&#x20AC;? Grainger

GIBBONS, Robert (Bob) Allan Passed away on Wednesday, May 28 at The Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria, B.C. Born in Victoria on July 22, 1931, Bob was the son of the late Thomas and Sabina (McCleary) Gibbons. A quiet and humble man, Bob was profoundly generous, kind, and courageous. Those who befriended him and had the privilege of knowing him loved him dearly. He was passionate about his children and grandchildren. He was a loving father to Michael (Diana), Victoria (Thomas), and Robert (Angela) and a proud grandfather to Sarah, Christopher, Bobby, Shannon, Nolan, Kyle (Melissa), Nick, and Jarrett. He will be missed by his sister Donna (the late Donald Pimlott), his nephew Dan, and his niece Diana, all of whom he cherished. For his retirement, Bobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love of the ocean and milder climate brought him back from Kanata, where he was a long-term resident, to Victoria.

Bob was proud of his long service in the Royal Canadian Navy. He was a long-time member of the Kanata Golf Club and the Uplands Golf Club in Victoria, B.C. Bob was an avid golfer who passed down this passion to his children. A sincere thank you to the staff and residents at Berwick House, where Bob resided for the past ďŹ ve years. Bob volunteered for many charities, including the ALS and Cancer Agencies.

His service was held Saturday, June 7th, 2014 at First Memorial Funeral Services in Saanich, B.C. Donations to a charity of your choice would be appreciated.

Grand Prix Medal class at Stittsville horse show Staff

News - It’s a class called the Grand Prix Medal and it’s not found at any other horse show in the area.

But it will be a special class this Sunday afternoon, June 15 as the two-day “Spring Into Summer” horse show at Westar Farms on Fernbank Road west of Stittsville wraps up.

In this Grand Prix Medal class, riders of varying levels of skill and achievement get the opportunity to ride in the Grand Prix or jumper ring, something that many have never done before.

In this Grand Prix Medal class, the performance of the riders is evaluated as they demonstrate a variety of skills with their horses or ponies, both jumping jumps and performing figures.

The class has multiple sections to accommodate the varying levels of experience among the riders, all the way from in-

termediate to advanced. Prizes and ribbons will be awarded in each section and there will also be overall awards.

But this Grand Prix Medal class will be one of only numerous classes which will be part of this “Spring Into Summer” horse show this Saturday, June 14 and Sunday, June 15 at the Westar Farms equestrian centre on Fernbank Road west of Stittsville.

Competitive classes will take place on both days, running from 8 a.m. to about 4 p.m. Riders and their mounts will perform in classes in four show rings each day, so you know that there is going to be plenty of ongoing action to view. There will be classes involving small ponies right through to classes for big horses. Riders will rang from youngsters right through to adults.

Some classes in this horse show will be judged on style and smooth performance in the

some respects, this is much like what happens in figure skating competitions.

However, in other classes, namely the jumper classes, the key for the competitor is getting over the brightly coloured jumps in the fastest time possible, with the fewest faults or knock-downs. In some respects, this is much like what happens in slalom skinning.

There will be refreshments available on site, so you can plan to spend a few hours there if you wish. There is plenty of shade under the maple trees on site. There are bleachers for spectators or you can bring along your own lawn chair and

pick out a favourite spot for viewing the action in the rings.

Spectators are welcome and admission is free – another reason to make it a destination event either this coming Saturday or Sunday.

This Sunday, June 15 is Father’s Day and this will be recognized with a special draw for prizes for dads.

This “Spring Into Summer” Trillium and Bronze horse show is the first of three horse shows that will be held at Westar Farms this year.

The annual “Horse Lovers Weekend” will take place on Saturday, July 19 and Sunday, July 20 while the “Double

Double” horse show will happen on Saturday, Sept. 6. Both also have free admission and are great opportunities to witness some equestrian action right close to home.

More horse show information can be found at the Westar Farms website at www.westarfarms.ca . There is even a spectator guide on the website with information helpful for those who are not that familiar with equestrian sport.

Westar Farms is located on the south side of Fernbank Road between Munster Road and Dwyer Hill Road, just west of the Glen Mar Golf and Country Club.

ADVERTORIAL

Downtown Carleton Place combines traditional setting with modern lifestyle It may seem like a sleepy town, with tree-lined streets, historic architecture and the meandering Mississippi River winding through its centre. But look a little closer and you’ll find Carleton Place is anything but just a bedroom community.

Nestled in the picturesque Ottawa Valley about a half hour west of Ottawa on the new fourlane Highway 7, this community of 10,000 is a thriving hub of activity.

“Carleton Place is a pleasing collage of serenity and vitality, texture and energy,” says Business Improvement Area (BIA) Project Manager Cathie McOrmond.

“Like the Mississippi River, Carleton Place is fresh and creative, beautiful and ever-changing.”

It’s a thriving community that offers a full roster of activities year round. From the Halloween Maskeraid parade and Free Comic Book Day in May, to the largest Santa Claus parade in the area, the town prides itself in its homespun atmosphere.

“Summer is a busy time in Carleton Place. We have festivals, walking tours, concerts, dragon boat races and much more,” points out Cathie.

Saturday June 21 is the next edition of the BIA Lambs Down Park Festival, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. In partnership with the Canadian Co-operative Woolgrowers, activities focus on the grounds at 142 Franktown Rd. There will be demonstrations in sheep shearing, wool spinning, a petting zoo, a wide variety of food venders and other displays, rain or shine.

“It is a fun day for the whole family,” says Cathie. “The event has grown with more activities each year.” Two fundraising walks are also attached to the day, with recipients Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) and People First, a local charity that aids people with disabilities.

Canada Day July 1 rivals any celebration in the area with a huge fireworks display to cap a full day of family-oriented fun.

For the downtown merchants, the big event of the year falls on Saturday August 2 from 9 a.m. to

4 p.m. when the BIA presents the 9th annual Bridge Street Bazaar.

The downtown is closed to vehicles so that vendors can take to the streets to create a festival like no other.

“This is so much more than a sidewalk sale,” says Cathie.

“The street is alive with live entertainment on a stage, buskers on every corner, nearly everything you could imagine on a street.”

The day starts with a traditional pancake breakfast hosted by the local Masonic Lodge, followed by dance demonstrations, games, colourful talent shows and great food.

Also taking place in the summer is the Music in the Market program.

This youth-oriented series features professional entertainers like Juno winners Splash ‘N Boots, Junkyard Symphony, Andrew McDougal and Eccentric Adam. Shows run on alternating Tuesdays and Thursdays starting at 6:30 p.m.

The Market is also home to a

Carleton Place is a pleasing collage of serenity and vitality, texture and energy…

Farmers’ Market every Saturday from May to October, starting at 9 a.m.

Vintage car buffs also get their fill of classic metal on Wednesday nights when Market Square plays host to Cruise Night.

“You never know what to expect in Carleton Place,” says Cathie.

“We’re full of unique surprises.

That’s what makes it such a great place to come home to.”

Best of all, none of the summer events charge an admission fee.

And even when there are no special events to captivate and entertain, Carleton Place attracts tourists and locals with its charm and colourful history.

“We have a rich history and an amazing present,” says Cathie.

A stroll through the downtown reveals some of the ‘hidden’ treasures of the town. Take a tour of the Arthur Roy Brown museum, dedicated to the World War One

flying ace, or absorb the area’s culture at The Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum and Canada Veteran’s Hall of Valour.

If weather permits, enjoy a stroll along the banks of the Mississippi and take in a game of chess on the giant outdoor board at the water’s edge.

Summer means more water fun in Carleton Place. Not only is the town’s manicured sand beach lifeguard protected, but the community comes alive with a myriad of events.

“With more than 185 businesses in the BIA district, our downtown offers all the attractions of a classic small town with the vibrant feel of modern businesses. We offer a unique level of customer service in each store, with warm, friendly and welcoming merchants.”

For example, you can order custom, made-to-measure fashions at The Dress Shop or find soughtafter vintage collectible toys at Treasures ‘n More.

There are so many ways to spend your time in Carleton Place that you eventually work up an appetite which can be satisfied by a wide range of top quality restaurants.

“We have fantastic dining options,” points out Cathie.

“There are international food choices from almost every corner of the world, Indian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Italian, British and of course Canadian too. Many feature locally-grown food.”

And just like every classic small town, Carleton Place still has a bowling alley in the downtown core, not to mention all the usual services such as medical, dental, real estate, financial services, insurance, grocery stores and numerous others.

“The BIA believes a community is enhanced by a vibrant and successful downtown core,” says Cathie. “By connecting the community to the downtown, we hope to strengthen the relationship and have it be strong for years to come.”
