Fast track to Kanata City looks into building LRT link to west end before 2031 adam.kveton@metroland.com

The city is looking into having light rail transit to Kanata before 2031 after a motion tabled by Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley passed at finance and economic development committee on June 29.

The motion asks city staff to come back with a report to determine the

cost, possible routes and if the extension could be ready before 2031.

Currently the city has no start date for a light rail transit link to Kanata, though the connection is part of its ultimate rapid transit plan.

The light rail transit connection to Bayshore is expected to be ready by 2023, while Kanata would see a bus rapid transit corridor created

to a station at Terry Fox Drive and north to Solandt Road by 2031.

Under those rough timelines, a light rail connection to Kanata would happen sometime after 2031 – past the city’s planning horizon.

“I’m asking if (city staff) can do the review and see if we can bring it forward quite a bit,” said Hubley.

City staff has been asked to come back with a report on the feasibility of doing that, though Hubley said he is confident it can be done.

“I don’t want to presuppose too much of the study, but from what I’ve been working on with staff, it looks like we could certainly move the date ahead quite a bit and re-use stuff that’s been done in the interim to move the busses faster,” he said.

3 in Kanata charged after cops seize cocaine Stun guns, silencer among items seized at South March-area home Staff

Three people have been charged with drug and weapon-related offences after Ottawa police executed a warrant at a home in the

300 block of Abbeydale Circle in the South March community of north Kanata.

The drug unit executed the warrant on June 24 and seized 961.85 grams of cocaine, worth more than $95,000, said police in a

news release.

They also seized $15,770 in Canadian currency, $961 in U.S. currency, two stun guns, a handgun silencer, a pistol grip and foregrip kit for a shotgun, a Canadian Armed Forces ballistic vest and more.

As a result, a 30-year-old man was charged with two counts of possession of a Schedule

1 substance for the purpose of trafficking, possessing a prohibited device, two counts of possessing a prohibited weapon and possession of proceeds of crime over $5,000.

A 21-year-old woman was also charged with possession for the purposes of trafficking, and a third person was facing charges though police did not give details of the charges.

The court date for the 30- and 21-year-olds is July 22.

Police would not say whether those charged were suspected of trafficking cocaine locally, saying the matter is before the courts.

Allan Hubley Positive Change for Kanata South

City Councillor Kanata South Week in Review It was so great to see so many residents out at the Glenview Homes Canada Day in Kanata Celebration. Thank you again to the organizers and many volunteers for putting on this spectacular event!

I would also like to thank the volunteers from Amsted DesignBuild who came out last week to help plant some colourful perennials in Ravine Park. Amsted is celebrating their 25th Anniversary this year and to honour their 25th Anniversary, they are completing 25 volunteer acts throughout the year. If you have not visited this newly renovated park, I encourage you to enjoy our newest community treasure.‎ Heritage Signs In the near future you will notice heritage signs being installed around Kanata South. Kanata as a city was formed in 1980 and divided into two wards in 2006. What sometimes gets forgotten is that the communities that are known today as Kanata South actually have a long rich history.

Sadly, many of the old wood and stone homes from the past are gone as Kanata did not always protect heritage properties. This may lead people to believe that this area was only developed in recent times when in fact our part of what became Kanata was actually settled in 1818. Long time residents will remember the referendum on whether to call the new city Kanata or Hazeldean. Some have suggested changing Kanata South to Hazeldean Ward but until such a change is broadly supported, that is unlikely to happen.

While the new signs are an opportunity to celebrate our history and a future reminder that our founders were hard working families, I would like to thank two families for investing significantly in our history for future generations.

First I would like to thank Christine and Shane Cohen for protecting and restoring the Sparks family home which is now the Spa Day Retreat on Castlefrank near Hazeldean.

Secondly, I would ask that we also thank the Bennett family for the amazing restoration of the Hope family home located on Summitview near Stonehaven. I have had the privilege of visiting both locations during their transformation and believe both families have given our community the wonderful gift of a glimpse into our past.

Library board looking to Kanata for main branch inspiration Adam Kveton adam.kveton@metroland.com

The recently redesigned Beaverbrook library has caught attention on a provincial scale, being chosen as one of four Ontario libraries to receive an award from the Ontario Library Association.

Recipients of the Library Building Award, which focused on library architectural and design transformation, were announced in early June, which included the Mount Dennis Branch of the Toronto Public Library, the Central Branch of the Kitchener Public Library, the MacOdrum Library at Carleton University and the Beaverbrook Branch of the Ottawa Public Library.

The branch, located in the Mlacak Centre at 2500 Campeau Dr., underwent a $10 million redesign, which included taking the space from 993 square metres to 2,224 square metres, and

a focus on new flexible spaces for meetings and more, and large windows with the aim of making the library more inviting and visible in the community.

“It’s a great feeling,” said Emmanuelle Van Rutten of the award. Van Rutten worked on the Beaverbrook Branch project as an architect and director with Moriyama & Teshima Architects

The Beaverbrook Branch of the Ottawa Public Library has received an award from the Ontario Library Association for its $10 million re-design, which includes tall windows at its façade and a concrete mural by local artist Chris Griffin which features Blanding’s turtles both in the mural and as 3-D sculptures leading inside the building.

which designed the building.

“We are very proud of the building so it’s good to be recognized on a more national/provincial stage,” she said.

Van Rutten said the design of the building tries to adapt to the re-invention of libraries as more than just buildings with books, but meaningful meeting spaces where programming, services and learning for people of all ages can take place.

“I think definitely libraries are seeing a renewal now,” she said.

“What’s interesting is the idea that the iPad came along, or the e-readers and they would remove the need for the library. It’s kind of completely false,” said Van Rutten.

Now the emphasis is on creating inviting, open spaces that allow people to learn using technology and books, as well as take part in the various other services the Ottawa Public Library provides.

The award comes as the city looks to rebuilding the main library branch, and the Ottawa

Public Library Board is certainly looking to the Beaverbrook Branch for inspiration, said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, a member of the library board.

“I think (Beaverbrook Branch) is a good stepping stone to the main library because you end up testing different ideas,” said Van Rutten, who said her company would likely be interested in submitting a proposal for the main branch once a request goes out.

“The library is probably one step closer to understanding what it wants in the Main Branch,” she said.

“We are extremely honoured to have been awarded this recognition,” said library board chairman Tim Tierney, councillor for Beacon Hill-Cyrville.

“The Beaverbrook Branch was completely transformed from a small, enclosed building to a bright inviting place, which uses natural light and open spaces to showcase library materials and offer zones for reading and learning for babies to seniors,” he said.

“This is the same approach that needs to be taken in a new central library. It has to be a building that invites people in and inspires them to learn, connect, and grow.”

A Grade 10 class at A.Y. Jackson Secondary School has taken an interest in the livelihood of monarch butterflies, and they hope others might as well.

The civics class decided to plant a butterfly garden on the school’s grounds as part of a community service project though the DILA (day of inquiry, lifetime of action) program this spring.

After researching the plight of monarch butterflies, the students said they were shocked by the severe decrease in their population and wanted to take action.

“Since the 1990s the population of monarch butterflies has decreased by 90 per cent due to habitat destruction, climate change and lack of milkweed,” said Grade 10 student Paulina Chametka in an email.

“We were shocked to find how large the influence of butterflies and pollinators was on our ecosystem,” she said. Butterflies are the third most populous pollinator species behind bees and flies, said fellow student Erica Heiber.

When researching the causes of

the population loss and what plants monarch butterflies need to survive, the students found that milkweed was one of the most important, being the only plant that Monarch caterpillars will eat, and where monarchs lay their eggs.

“As milkweed loss is the biggest threat to monarch butterflies, planting milkweed is probably the best thing that someone can do to help,” said Erica.

But many other types of plants can provide nectar for monarch butterflies, as well as provide them shelter from wind and a place to warm up after a cold night, said Paulina.

The students included coneflower, yarrow, blanket flower, sage, chrysanthemum, bee balm, joe pye weed, Cinderella milkweed and butterfly weed in their garden, said Erica.

Though milkweed might not be the most visually appealing species to plant in your garden, Grade 10 student Anna McAllister said there are many other options that will help the cause.

“My personal favorite was the burgundy blanket flower, which has a gorgeous flower that is appealing to both people and butterflies,” said Anna.

“There are a variety of plants to choose from and we found that most garden stores will have labels on the butterfly attracting plants to make the selection process very simple,” she said.

A.Y. Jackson Secondary School students have joined the ranks of monarch butterfly supporters everywhere, which includes Glen Cairn Public School, seen here during their butterfly program’s yearly send-off in September of last year. The A.Y. Jackson students planted a butterfly garden at their school, and they hope others consider doing the same.

CANADA DAY IN KANATA was yesterday and despite the weather reports I’m sure it was still a great day (I’m writing this on Sunday).

Thank you to the Kanata Canada Day Committee who committed long volunteer hours to bring us a great event, to the sponsors who provided the funds to cover the costs and to all who volunteered on Canada Day in so many ways. It’s events like this that bring the community together and add so much to the quality of life we enjoy here in Kanata.

ANNUAL KANATA NORTH PICNIC is the next large community event where you can meet your neighbours, enjoy a variety of activities, from live performances to the petting zoo, from bouncies to face painting and games, and experience the inside of a fire engine, police car, ambulance, City equipment and special vehicles. There is no charge – even the food is free while it lasts. The picnic starts at 4pm on July 15th at Sandwell Green Park – accessed from The Parkway or Leacock Drive – just follow the signs. Volunteers are still needed so contact my office if you can help – students can get volunteer hours – and some space is still available for a community group to showcase their talents. Please bring your donation of non-perishable food and cans to the Kanata Food Cupboard at the picnic, and give a much-needed meal to help someone in Kanata.

WARD BOUNDARIES – Periodically, Ward boundaries are revised to balance the number of residents in each Ward. The next review was to happen this year but there is now a recommendation to defer it to 2019, after the next election. I can support that but I’m concerned that the motion from previous Councils, to add the urban expansion lands that are presently in rural wards to the adjacent urban Ward, is also being deferred. Urban issues vary greatly from rural ones, particularly when construction and planning decisions are underway and my view is that adding those to urban wards should be done now, as the impact of new development on existing communities in the urban ward needs to be handled carefully and with full consideration of any concerns of the existing community. The plan would be to have both the urban and rural Councillors jointly deal with them and if they did not agree, items would be sent to the Planning Committee. This works okay in the short term but is hard to sustain for the 8 years before any change can take place. I’m raising this issue at the Committee Meeting and Council but most of the Councillors don’t have expansion lands and don’t fully understand the issues.

SUMMER is here and children have finished their school year. Please drive carefully as young children could be playing on the street. Come to a complete stop at stop signs and look both ways, watch for cyclists and keep to the speed limit. I get many complaints about speeding, distracted driving and failure to stop. It takes only a moment to have an accident which can easily be prevented. Enjoy your summer and make it a safe one.

During the summer, my office will remain open to deal with your issues.

I’ll be taking some time off but will be in touch with my staff, connected by e-mail and will attend summer committee meetings.

TERM OF COUNCIL PRIORITIES have been reviewed by Committees and will be dealt with by Council on July 8th. Included is funding for sidewalks, which involves dealing with the sidewalk/cycling issues on Campeau Drive. Each Councillor is also to get funding for some traffic calming measures on problematic roads. This does not include speed bumps, but will add signage and speed indicators at a few locations. You can see the details by going to the Committee Meetings on the City’s website and looking at the FEDCO meeting of June 29th. Click on the item ‘Term of Council Priorities’ to find the list.

IFTAR DINNER – The Intercultural Dialogue Institute – Ottawa, which brings people of many faiths together, is holding an IFTAR Dinner on Monday July 6th during the Muslim Ramadan period. Come to learn about the Muslim faith and the role of Ramadan and enjoy a traditional fast breaking dinner. There is no charge but donations can be made.

Community leaders and members of the Police Force will also be attending and I’m pleased to be a guest of honour. Go to http://www. eventbrite.ca/e/community-iftar-dinner-with-ottawa-police-servicetickets-17381832529 for information and to register.

Making time for the kids

A

s if freedom from classes weren’t enough, councillors and staff at city hall have given children across Ottawa another reason to cheer by moving forward with new guidelines for booking sports fields and ice surfaces.

This new policy will help ensure scheduling is done in a manner that should see kids get the best crack at time on soccer fields, ball diamonds and rinks during times that are best suited for young athletes. In a society where kids are stuck in front of screens more and more, anything that makes physical activity more accessible – and less expensive -- is worth exploring.

What city staff has devised is an end to the practice of recognizing “historic use,� which sees teams and organizations that have used a surface at a specific time in the past favoured for that time slot and location when new schedules are produced.

Tighter deadlines for giving up unwanted time slots, granting clubs and associations more scheduling flexibility and stricter criteria for when adults are able to book “prime time� slots are also part of the

changes being put forward by the parks and recreation department.

These changes will hopefully have the effect of not only making more time slots available, but will also help newer clubs and leagues – such as girls hockey – secure less expensive city rinks and fields, rather than paying for private facilities, which cost more. That raises the cost to play, which in turn acts as an obstacle on the road to growing those sports.

Opening up as many recreational opportunities as possible for as many different segments of society as possible should be among the top goals of this city. The more chances people – and especially children – have to be active, the better our city will become. An active city will be a healthier city, and a safer city. Any more changes council can make with this in mind would be most welcome.

Children and parents should be very happy with this move by the city. The rest of us should be happy too, even if it means some adult hockey teams need to start playing at different times during the day or night.

You all know the Canada Day drill

T

his is the week when we gather together to celebrate Canada or just run off to the country and let someone else do it.

Ottawa has Canada Day down to a formula. The run-up is predictable: a big announcement is made about the artists who will be playing in the big show on the Hill, followed by gripes from people who say they’ve never heard of the artists who will be playing in the big show on the Hill.

There are suggestions about where best to see the fireworks and there are comments on how ridiculous the suggestions are. And there is always at least one forlorn soul who writes that Canada Day should still be called Dominion Day. After that, the population divides

A certain amount of dealing with crowds is necessary here too, but these crowds are on the Queensway, trying, like you, to get away from the crowds. Fortunately this is not, like Toronto, a city that takes forever to get out of, but in the few moments while you are creeping along, you might be briefly tempted by the thought that it might be more enjoyable to be on foot downtown, wearing something red.

is a bit less solitude than you were counting on. A substantial number of cottage Canadians like to celebrate their country by buzzing around lakes in boats and other motorized things. Still, you’re not elbow to elbow on Elgin Street, are you? And things do calm down at night – until the fireworks begin.

In recent years, there has been research showing that fireworks around lakes can be damaging to wildlife, frightening animals and birds and disrupting their normal activity. No one seems to have paid much attention, despite the fact that the family dog is among those affected.

Today’s cottage fireworks are not to be confused with what happens around Parliament Hill on July 1, but they are not as far removed as they used to be. Originating a half century or more ago with the tradition of little children waving sparklers on the dock, the July 1 fireworks have

If we want to turn these numbers around rapidly, adults need to ‘get out of the way and let kids play.’

Why? Kids are more likely to be active when they are unsupervised. Modern culture’s hyper-obsession with keeping kids under watch at all times has led to a decline in their overall activity, making them less likely to take risks, which the authors note is essential to achieving physical activity guidelines.

Further, when adults aren’t available to supervise, the kids are more likely to be sitting indoors – often on screens. Just being indoors – whether in a community centre or a basement – encourages kids to be stagnant.

“Access to active play in nature and outdoors – with its risks – is essential for healthy child development,” the report states. “We recommend increasing children’s opportunities for self-directed play outdoors in all settings – at home, at school, in child care, the community and nature.”

The authors note that when kids are outside, they are more physical and play for longer periods of time. Children are also more curious in natural settings and move more in nature than on fabricated play structures.

But it’s not just about getting them outside, it’s about letting them go it alone. “Hyper-parenting limits physical activity and can harm mental health,” cites the report. “When children are closely supervised outside, they are less active.”

This generation of adults needs to think very carefully about the damage we’re doing to an entire generation of children. Sure, community centres are great and there can be lots of fun things to do indoors. I’m most grateful for them when it’s -25 C in February. Organized sports can be fun and help kids stay active, too.

But if, instead of a 91 per cent failure rate, we want to get 90 per cent of kids meeting the minimum daily requirement of physical activity – a minimum requirement, by the way, that’s been reduced in recent years – we need to just let the kids play, outside, alone, where the trees are and the screens aren’t.

fter two days of summer camp at a city-run recreation centre, my son asked if I could pull him out of the program.

“What’s the problem?” I asked him. It seemed right up his alley – a bit of art, some sport, some swimming. He’s so active; I thought it would be perfect for him.

“We haven’t gone outside in two days,” he told me.

I was really surprised. Sure, the community centre is wellequipped to run the kids around indoors– there’s a gym, a pool and various studio spaces – but I assumed that at least part of summer camp had to be held outside. Surely there’s a law against keeping kids indoors in June, I thought.

I asked the camp counsellors about the program. They defended their decision to stay indoors, saying the first day it was too hot and the second day it was too wet. “It wasn’t raining, exactly,” said one. “But we thought the kids might get wet and muddy if they played on the wet ground because it had rained in the morning.”

I promptly withdrew my son from the program.

No matter how loudly we scream or how much research is produced, camp counsellors, schools and especially parents just aren’t getting the message: Our children are in a health crisis. We’re no longer on the brink. We’re there.

Don’t take my word for it. In its annual report card released in June, Participaction awarded Canadian kids a D-minus when it comes to physical fitness. This time, the adults are clearly to blame, according to the report’s authors.

The report, released in early June, cited helicopter parenting, time spent indoors and

“I didn’t want TACK (transportation action committee Kanata) to come off as just being a bunch of people sitting around saying what was best for Kanata without really knowing what was best for Kanata,” Neale said.

The survey, which asked for answers from both residents and people who work in north Kanata, has not only given the committee a sense of how people are getting around and why, it also gave the group an insight into how to increase active transportation – getting around by bus, bike or on your feet, he said.

Walking showed similar, though less extreme gaps, with 86 per cent of the 416 people who answered walking for exercise or pleasure, 47 per cent to reach a business, 40 per cent

Councillors show support for earlier Kanata connection Continued from page 1

If so, many in Kanata and the rest of the city’s west end would likely be excited by the news, as Kanata’s long wait for light rail transit has been a controversial issue, becoming one of the chief points of debate during last year’s municipal election in the Kanata North ward.

The motion received plenty of support at committee, with Bay Ward Coun. Mark Taylor saying, “I think the faster, the bigger we can build the system, the better.”

Orléans Coun.

Bob Monette also voiced support, saying, “As we’re moving forward we’re looking at the whole city, not just parts of the city. I’m very encouraged by the motions that have been put forward.”

Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson encouraged the city to look at growth in the west end, especially when it comes to the Kanata business park, which, she said, “is reaching an all-time high

and there’s a lot of optimism with what’s been happening with the tech industry.”

Hubley said “other envelopes of funding” would be needed to pay for the early rail extension, likely through federal and provincial governments.

Thus far, the city has bankrolled more than a third of its $2.1-billion light rail project, paying $900 million, with the province and feds each picked up $600 million.

However, both provincial and federal governments have recently announced funds to support major transit infrastructure projects.

That prompted Mayor Jim Watson to say, “From our perspective – I can’t speak for other cities – the timing works well in Ottawa’s favour.”

Hubley added he believes there are efficiencies the city can find in the rail installation process that will save money, and that a Kanata connection could be far less

costly than other parts of the city as there would be less need for tunneling or overpasses.

“If the report comes in good and the funding comes together, maybe I will get to ride a train before I’m done my job,” said Hubley.

“Up until my motion, we weren’t even going to be looking into this until 2031,” he said. “Now we could be riding a train in 2031.”

Earlier O-Train extension pondered

Another motion, tabled by Knoxdale-Merivale Coun.

Keith Egli and carried by the committee, asks the city to fast track the O-Train Trillium line extension and see it done earlier than 2023.

The plan for the line has new stations at South Keys, the Ottawa International Airport, Leitrim Road and Bowesville.

With files from Emma Jackson

The city’s finance and economic development committee just passed a motion to look into starting construction on a light rail transit link to Kanata before 2031 after Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley tabled the motion on June 29.

OC Transpo – worse product equals less use

Five years ago Kanata South was served by two all-day bus routes. Then the City decided to tear up the OC Transpo service level commitments in order to save $20 million. Since then Kanata South, a community of over 30,000 residents, has had only one all-day bus route, with route changes that disenfranchised many residents and increased the time it takes to get anywhere once you actually get on a bus by 10 minutes.

As a result of this “service rationalisation” some residents of Kanata South now have to walk over 1,500 metres to reach a bus that runs only once every half hour and takes a long inconvenient route to get anywhere.

Now to add insult to injury

the city has decided to reduce the bus service in Kanata South to one-half of a bus route, and thereby increased the time to get to Terry Fox station and the Centrum Mall by a further 10 minutes. Meanwhile OC Transpo has increased fares for this inferior service.

I see this as the consequence of a contemptuous disregard for the convenience of customers.

The city does not care how inconvenient the public transit service is, how long customers have to wait, how long it takes for them to get to their destination, as long as the city’s portion of the operating costs of OC Transpo is minimised.

For example OC Transpo has repeatedly refused to adjust the scheduling of either the 96 or the 164 by just five minutes

so that those routes would connect with an average waiting time of less than 15 minutes instead of the current average of over 20 minutes. Not surprisingly as the service has become less convenient, the number of people who are willing to use this terrible service has gone down, so the revenue of OC Transpo from fares has gone down.

In a private business if you start losing customers you invest in improving your product so as to attract more customers. But the city’s response is to cut the operating subsidy so that OC Transpo has no choice but to make the service even poorer!

BERKHAM

In conjunction with Seniors’ Month held in June every year, Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley hosted a luncheon on June 17 at the Kanata Recreation Complex.

In line with this year’s theme “Vibrant Seniors, Vibrant Communities,” the Kanata Chinese Seniors Support Centre (KCSSC) led a group of seniors to participate in the luncheon. This year’s luncheon saw a significant increase in the number of participants from India, Malaysia,

Myanmar and the Philippines.

KCSSC volunteers were also on hand to help with translation, while aides from the Coun.’s office ensured that everyone had their fill of the sandwiches and beverages prepared by a seniors’ residence. Entertainment was provided by a renowned country music singer and it was very enjoyable to see the seniors doing a Bunny Dance. There was so much joy on the faces of the seniors as they danced around the hall, overcoming all language barriers.

Earlier the same morning,

KCSSC conducted a seminar to introduce seniors to the role and responsibilities of a hospital social worker.

Many Chinese families are not aware of these services.

When someone in the family is afflicted with a serious illness, family members invariably become stressed. A hospital social worker can assist with advice for home care givers, provide counselling and education, make referrals for other services, help with communication and interventions for promoting healthcare.

New field, ice policy levelling playing field End of historic use tradition means squeaky wheels won’t get much grease Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

The most vocal teams will soon no longer be able to lobby to make sure they get

their favourite field, ice pad or time slot.

A new policy from the parks and rec department is looking to do away with “historic use” – the practice

of giving a coveted time slot to the same team year after year simply because they’ve always had it – in an effort to level the field when it comes to renting ice pads, soccer fields and baseball diamonds.

“This says ‘blank slate’: apply for what you need and we will allocate,” said parks and rec manager Dan Che-

We’regivingawayupto

foryourtwocents.

nier, who led four information sessions on the proposed changes in June. “As a municipality we’re striving for equitable access.”

That’s great news for smaller or younger leagues, which have had to compete with the city’s oldest leagues for the most convenient times.

In hockey for example, girls’ minor leagues haven’t been around as long as the boys’, so they don’t have the advantage of historic use when they apply for ice time.

And since the kids aren’t available to play in off-peak times like the afternoon or late at night, that’s caused huge discrepancies in how much time the girls are granted versus the boys.

Nalin Bhargava, president of the Ottawa Girls Hockey Association, said his group did a comprehensive study of ice time allocations last year and found that girls’ teams are getting about 57 per cent of what they ask for from the city, versus 80 per cent for the boys.

What they don’t get from the city they have to buy from private ice pads like Bell Sensplex.

That’s an expensive problem: while prime time city ice costs $162.82 an hour, private ice costs up to $320, Bhargava said.

The approximately 300 ice hours the girls have to buy privately can cost the league about $48,000 a year, Bhargava said – and over time it adds up to much, much more.

That makes the sport even more expensive for female participants, at a time when

A new city policy will help younger, smaller sports teams access more time on sports fields and ice pads if its approved this fall. the cost to play hockey is already a major barrier to many families.

“It’s clearly discriminatory,” Bhargava said.

But allocations manager Linda Tremblay said it’s not so much a girls versus boys issue, but rather the problem of a newer sport trying to break into a limited amount of ice time.

And that’s what the new policy is trying to fix.

If council approves the changes this fall, the new sports allocation policy would see a major overhaul including: • The end of historic use as a factor in allocations • Use of financial records to validate registration numbers (since allocations are formulated on the number of players) • Tighter deadlines for returning unwanted allocations, so they can be redistributed to other teams. This will also reduce the number of sports spaces sitting idle across the city • Stricter criteria for determining which adults are al-

lowed to play during “prime time” (before 9 p.m.).

It’s not going to be easy; Chenier said leagues – especially the minor boys’ leagues, which stand to lose the most time – may not be happy about having to pay for more private ice next year.

But they’ll no longer be able to lobby their councillor to get the times they want – at least, not in theory.

Chenier said once council approves the changes, staff will have that legal mandate to put the brakes on backroom dealing.

“Will we be able to weather the storm? I think so, because we have integrity in the policy and we know this is what we need to do,” Chenier said.

The policy will head to the city’s community and protective services committee sometime this fall, and then on to council.

If approved, the new policy will apply to the 2016 sports fields allocations system first, and then will be implemented in arenas for the 2016/2017 fall hockey season.

Councillor eyes Campeau solution Continued from page 11

“I was really pleased to get so many people pointing out the lack of interconnectivity between neighbourhoods for both pedestrians and for cyclists, because that’s something that we can fix,” said Neale. “(And) if you are talking about that then you are talking about using it for more than exercise and pleasure, because I think we have enough pathways now for exercise and pleasure.”

The committee’s purpose is to provide information and recommendations to Kanata North

Coun. Marianne Wilkinson about what needs to be done to support active transportation, while providing public education.

But getting more people to use their bikes and their feet for more than fun and exercise will take infrastructure development and maintenance, as well as a change in mindset for many, said Neale.

The survey also asked participants to say how often they use their car, walk, take public transit and cycle.

At least once a week, 78 per cent of people said they drive their car by themselves,

while 50 per cent said they get around by car with more than one person in the vehicle, 44 per cent walk, 28 per cent use public transit and 23 per cent cycle.

The committee hopes to identify ways of decreasing dependency on cars while increasing the use of public transit, cycling and walking.

Survey participants’ answers have given them some ideas, with respondents asking for bus service fixes, more segregated bike lanes and pathways, and better connections to other communities and across Highway 417.

Some of those fixes are already in the works, Wilkinson said at the presentation.

She said she hopes to have separate walking and biking lanes along Campeau Drive to keep school kids from colliding with seniors – a common problem in the area – as well as pathways along roads like Leacock Drive and Halton Terrace.

“There are a few things starting to happen,” she said, adding she plans to bring the survey to transportation planners at the city, and encourages other communities to undertake similar surveys.

Mayor’s Report

Lansdowne in the Summer

By Jim Watson

Despite what some may say about how much fun there is to be had in Ottawa, I am continually amazed at how many exciting opportunities take place daily, in our city.

Each spring, I am impressed and proud to see the multitude of cultures, people and organizations that welcome the public into their respective communities.

This past month, Ottawa made history as a host city to the largest single sport event in Canada’s history, the FIFA Women’s World Cup. As one of the largest sporting events in the world, all eyes descended on Ottawa as we welcomed the best female soccer players from around the world.

Eager to showcase the newly rejuvenated Lansdowne Park to residents, and the world, the City has worked hard to ensure all features of the project are completed and free to enjoy for the summer.

Before the rejuvenation project began, Lansdowne Park consisted of almost 30 acres of asphalt and approximately 230 trees. Compare this to the current 1.8 acres of asphalt and 850 trees; you will see how truly significant this has impacted Lansdowne and its neighboring communities. By transforming Lansdowne Park from an asphalt tarmac into a green park space, it has become a true gathering place, as was originally intended in the 1800s.

In addition to the many recreation programs, events and farmers market that will take place regularly at Lansdowne, other summer features to be enjoyed are; - Skate Board Park - The Water Plaza reflecting pool and “Uplift” monument - Children’s Play Area - Basketball Courts - Heirloom Apple Orchard and the Civic Gardens Free to enjoy for sports with the family or a relaxing picnic; the “park” has finally been returned to Lansdowne through the addition of the Great Lawn. With capacity to welcome 17,000 people, world-class urban park is sure to be a feature enjoyed for generations to come.

If you would like to learn more about events taking place, recreation programs or Lansdowne Park itself, visit Lansdownepark.ca. For other activities and events at Lansdowne, visit tdplace.ca for details.

Work pays off for Kanata gymnast headed to Pan Am Games Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

Lucinda Nowell’s career in rhythmic gymnastics has been steadily progressing since the age of six, through thousands of hours of training and hard work.

But with Nowell’s first shot at the Pan Am Games, or any world games for that matter, just a few weeks away, the athlete said it all feels like it’s paying off.

“It’s just really exciting to be representing your country,” said Nowell, who grew up in Kanata.

She and five other Canadian rhythmic gymnastics team members will compete in the group competition in mid-July at the Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games, performing two routines they hope will wow the judges and earn them a spot in the finals and a chance at a medal.

But before that, the team is off to Spain for one last intense training session to polish their skills before the Games and a busy summer after that, said Nowell.

The team qualified for the Pan Am Games in 2014 at the Pan American Championships, which was a great moment for the team, but not as satisfying as it could have been, said Nowell.

“We were actually very close to not qualifying,” she said. “It wasn’t a good competition for us in the actual qualification round,” though, after the finals, the group ended fifth in the competition.

Overall, Nowell said the experience “was a little nerve-wracking, but a lot of relief when we did qualify.”

The spring and summer has been slow for the group so far, with plenty of training but few competitions thus far, though the Pan Am Games will change all that, being the first of several major events which will take the team across the globe between July and September, Nowell said.

But the Pan Am Games is special, she said.

“Last year I competed at a few world cups and world championships, but I haven’t been to a Games yet, so it’s pretty exciting,” said Nowell. “It being in Toronto, it’s pretty cool now because you see things on TV about it and signs on the road, and it’s just exciting to know that you are going to be in it.”

Nowell says the team has progressed beyond what they were ca-

“I think that’s sort of expected of us,” she said.

It’s a lot to accomplish for someone who transitioned from solo to group competition a little over a year ago.

“It’s almost like learning a different sport,” she said of the change.

While the focus on technique is still key, the group competition is more about precision in your movements, with each member of the group having to do their part precisely when it’s needed.

Rhythmic gymnasts perform a routine consisting of dance and acrobatic techniques, often using one or more apparatus – ball, hoop, clubs or ribbon.

Solo competitors perform one routine per apparatus, whereas groups perform two routines using a combination of apparatus that are chosen every two years, said Nowell.

This year, the groups are performing one routine with five ribbons, and another with two hoops and three sets of clubs.

“Ribbon is hard because it’s six metres (long) and there are five of them, so getting tangled, that’s something you have to watch out for,” said Nowell.

“The hoop and clubs is impressive because there are two different apparatus, so you get to do things that are completely original that no one would get to do in individual.”

While Nowell said she is feeling really good with her team’s progress, the Pan Am Games promises to be a competition like no other. With so many other athletes participating and events taking place, staying focused on the competition will likely be difficult, she said.

But, this being her first Games, Nowell said she really doesn’t know what to expect.

“Some of the other girls on the team talk about the Games that they’ve been to, like the Olympics and the last Pan Ams, and they are all so excited about this,” she said.

The Pan Am Games will be a chance for the group to go for glory and not worry about qualifying for another competition, said Nowell, with the world championships in September being the next qualifying round on the road to the Olympics, said Nowell.

The Pan Ams are a huge accomplishment all its own, and a result of many years of dedication, she said.

“My whole career I’ve just been wanting to see how far I can get, and that’s what’s been motivating me,” said Nowell. “Hard work pays off.”

Olympic pentathlete to compete in second Pan Am games Melanie McCann will face world’s best in Pan Am pentathlon Megan DeLaire mdelaire@metroland.com

When Melanie McCann wakes up in the Pan Am athletes’ village on July 18, she will face a full day of testing in not one, but five sports against some of the world’s best athletes.

As a modern pentathlete, McCann, 25, has spent the last nine years mastering fencing, show jumping, swimming, target shooting and running.

Her training and determination paired with the support of her team of four coaches carried her to the Pan Am Games in 2011 and the Olympics in 2012, and in July it will take her from her home in Nepean to Toronto for her second Pan Am Games.

If she performs well enough on July 18, her participation in the Games will earn her a spot in the 2016 Summer Olympics.

“I can earn my Olympic berth at the Games here on home soil which

SUBMITTED

Melanie McCann’s athletic career depends on excelling in five different sports. The Ottawa-based athlete will travel to Toronto in July to test her skills in modern pentathlon’s five disciplines for the 2015 Pan Am Games. is likely to never happen in my career again,” she said. “So to get that chance to compete in front of a home crowd on home soil and earn a second Olympic berth is absolutely the ultimate dream at this point.”

McCann’s first brush with modern pentathlon came in her hometown of Mount Carmel, Ont., between London

and Lake Huron. McCann, already a competitive swimmer and high school track and field athlete, was spotted at a track meet by a coach from Goderich, who invited her to try fencing and shooting under his instruction.

Eventually she learned to ride horses, and by 2004 she had competed in her first national level pentathlon, tak-

ing home a gold medal.

Although McCann began her athletic career as a swimmer, she finds it the most challenging discipline. She says fencing is her meilleure.

“I was brand new to that sport at the age of 15 and ever since I learned how to fence I’ve just grown to love it,” she said. “It’s often called the human chess game, and rightly so because you’re always trying to play your opponent and outwit them and trick them a little bit. I really enjoy that part of the game and how it’s mental as well as physical.”

McCann began training under her head coach John Hawes in 2009 and moved to Ottawa in 2010 to continue training with Hawes full time. As her head coach, Hawes is at the hub of a team of coaches that train and support McCann.

“He’s an exceptional coach in modern pentathlon, and he’s really been the key to my success in my career over the years,” she said. “We really work well together and he has so much experience. So it was only natural for me to move there (to Ottawa) to train under him and work with John every day.”

Hawes said that McCann’s mental fortitude and commitment to spending each day perfecting her five disciplines are the keys to her success in the vigorous sport.

For McCann, training is a lifestyle.

The pentathlete spends up to 30 hours each week fine tuning her equestrian, swimming, fencing, shooting and running skills. That time does not include physiotherapy and medical appointments or travel time.

“Melanie is one of those athletes who is prepared to prepare to win.

She does absolutely everything she possibly can to be ready on the day,” Hawes said.

“She’s a very talented athlete.

She’s very tough mentally, she’s got all those attributes which are common to the very best athlete’s in the world and it’s going to be quite fun to watch her at the Games this summer.”

McCann’s second Pan Am performance will begin on July 18 with an 11:15 a.m. fencing tournament and will see her compete in all five pentathlon disciplines throughout the day, finishing with the combined running and shooting event at 6:40 p.m.

Local martial artist headed for first Pan Am Games mdelaire@metroland.com

Ottawa martial artist Jasmine Landry began practising karate at the age of six, following in the footsteps of her older brother Eric.

On July 25 she will represent Canada in the 2015 Pan Am Games, one of the largest international competitions for karate, which is not currently an Olympic sport.

Landry, 22, has tested her skill nationally and internationally since graduating from the junior to the adult competition level in 2014.

That year she placed fifth in the Pan American Championships of karate, and she placed third in the 2015 North American Cup in April.

But the Pan Am Games, she said, will be the highest point of her career so far.

“I’m very excited, more than for the championships, especially because it’s a multi-sport competition and that’s not something I’ve been exposed to,” Landry said. “Karate’s not yet in the Olympics. We’re hoping to be in the next one. So this is a big deal and we’re hoping it means more exposure for the sport too.”

The Pan Am Games are the world’s third largest international multi-sport competition, surpassed in size and scope only by the Olympic Summer Games and the Asian Games.

More than 7,000 athletes from 41 countries across the Americas

and the Caribbean will convene in Toronto during July and August to compete in 36 Pan Am sports and 15 Parapan Am sports.

For Landry, competing so close to home is a rare luxury which will allow her friends and family to follow her on her journey to her big-

gest international competition so far.

Future Sens hit the ice The Ottawa Senators two first round picks in the 2015 draft hit the ice at the Bell Sensplex on June 30 during a development camp for the club’s prospects. At left is forward Colin White and at right is defenceman Thomas Chabot. The team hosts a 5-on-5 scrimmage on July 2 from 5:45 to 7 p.m. at the Kanata Recreation Complex.

“It’s always nice to compete in Canada. You have all the comforts of home and everyone close by to support you. It’s nice to have the support,” Landry said, adding that her family and some friends will travel from Ottawa to Toronto in July to see her compete in the Games.

Landry moved to Ottawa from Nova Scotia with her parents and brother when she was 15 and began training with sensai Germain Bisson at Karate Cama in Gatineau that year.

Although the commute from her home in Nepean to the dojo is not a short one, Landry currently trains five to six times each week for up to two hours each session in preparation for the Pan Am Games.

In addition to regular training, Landry, who graduated from the University of Ottawa this year, works part-time helping to socialize a fiveyear-old boy with autism and plans to study behavioural science at Algon-

Each week, a lawyer from the Kanata based Allan Snelling law firm will answer a reader’s question.

A weekly guide in legal matters

I own a small events and promotions business. Every so often I get emails from students asking if they could volunteer to learn about the business. I’ve never hired a student because they’re inexperienced but I’m considering hiring one as an intern this summer. I don’t have the budget for a full time employee but I would be willing to pay them a modest stipend. I’ve heard both paid and unpaid internships are illegal in Ontario. Is this true?

Photos by Alex Robinson/Metroland

Dragon day

In Ontario, the rules around internships are strict and in recent years some employers have been required to change their internship programs as a result. If someone is receiving on the job training from a business they are considered to be an employee of the business under Ontario law. As an employee they are entitled to a minimum wage under the Employment Standards Act so paying them a stipend that does not meet the minimum wage is against the law.

TOP LEFT: Brisbane Wiseman, 3, shoots down a bouncy castle slide set up at the Tim Hortons Dragon Boat Festival in Mooney’s Bay. The festival attracted more than 75,000 attendees who took in the races as well as live music, food and other entertainment.

TOP RIGHT: Spray flies through the air as a dragon boat team gets ready to compete at the Tim Hortons Dragon Boat Festival on June 27. More than 165 teams and around 4,500 people competed in competitions throughout the weekend.

There are two exceptions to this general rule which recognize the educational value of internships. The first is internship programs approved by a college or university which are permitted.

Bill Parker provides civil litigation and employment law advice to individuals, small businesses, and non-profits. Bill’s employment practice includes advising both employees and employers on contracts, disability insurance policies, and employment standards legislation. Bill’s litigation practice includes work on breach of contract, construction, and shareholder disputes. Bill was called to the Bar in Ontario in 2009.

The second exception is internships that meet criteria set by the Ministry of Labour. These requirements include that the intern is receiving valuable training, is not taking someone else’s job, and has not been promised a job after their training. The most important feature is the educational component: the primary purpose of internships is to teach valuable skills, not to provide cheap labour to businesses.

The safest way to ensure compliance with the law is to have an internship approved as part of a college or university program. Alternatively, you should design the internship ahead of time to focus it around training and skills development.

Venue apologizes for ‘delays, discomfort’ at Shania concert Staff

Despite the jubilant shouts of the 25,000 or more concertgoers at the Shania Twain Rock This Country tour stop at Wesley Clover Parks on June 27, many attendees are decrying the first major concert at the parks as a travesty.

We will seriously review the viability of events of that size ...

Wesley Clover Parks

“It is of utmost importance to us that those who visit our facility have a first class experience from start to finish.

“We will seriously review the viability of events of that size at Wesley Clover Parks, and will only agree to host future events of that magnitude if we are assured that a far more workable plan can be deployed and effectively executed.

“We thank you for your patience and your feedback.”

The post had more than 100 comments by June 29, with some commenters accepting the apology and saying some problems are to be expected for a first-time event at a new venue.

Others were not as accepting, with some saying they would never be back at the park for a concert.

The problems went beyond delays and discomfort, they said, pointing to a lack of security personnel, buses and overall planning which they claim put them in danger when trying to leave the venue at the end of the night.

Some people decidedto try and walk back to their vehicles in the dark rather than wait in line for buses.

As for Twain’s performance, many called it spectacular.

With many Twain fans taking to social media to point out the lack of security personnel, the hour or more waits for shuttle buses back to the offsite parking, and extremely long lineups for vendors, Wesley Clover Parks made the following apology via Facebook the morning of June 28: “On behalf of Wesley Clover Parks and our partners (including Donald K.

their minds on the issue. The committee was meeting to consider functional designs for three light rail expansions east, west and south of the downtown Confederation line, before council finalizes the decision July 8.

These extensions make up the city’s stage two light rail package, an ambitious 30-kilometre project that will add 19 stations to the rapid transit network by 2023. But the Unitarian tenants only care about one station: Cleary.

According to the designs approved by the committee June 29, Cleary Station will be built entirely underground just north of the church’s campus, to accommodate a light rail track which will pass underground in a cut-and-cover tunnel on its way west-bound to New Orchard Station.

It won’t pass directly under any buildings. According to the designs the train will instead pass under existing parking lots, laneways and gardens about six metres underground.

It will be about 18 metres away from the seniors’ home and the daycare.

Members of the First Unitarian Church and their tenants are taking their fight to the provincial level after the city’s finance and economic development committee approved plans to run its western light rail extension through its backyard.

“It’s a blemish on the city that they can disregard seniors and a child care centre to force fit this through when there’s a better alternative,” said former city councillor Alex Cullen, who spoke at committee on behalf of the River Parkway children’s centre that operates on church property.

The church campus east of Woodroffe Avenue and north of Richmond Road is directly in the path of the city’s plans to extend its light rail network from Tunney’s Pasture to Bayshore station after 2018.

It didn’t used to be: the city’s original route in 2013 skirted the private campus just enough to avoid an outcry.

But the National Capital Commission stopped those plans in its tracks when it refused to let the city’s project run through its land as planned.

That prompted a 100-day working group to negotiate a new route, which, when the winning route was revealed this March, ended up running directly underneath the Unitarian campus.

It’s not just the church that’s taking offence. The property is also home to 130 seniors who live at Unitarian House, a non-profit and non-denominational long-term care facility that leases space from the congregation. The other tenant is the River Parkway Children’s Centre, which offers day care to 74 children throughout the week.

Members of all three groups packed a city committee room on June 29, but they couldn’t convince Mayor Jim Watson or his colleagues to change their plans.

It was the last chance for the community groups to speak

Consultant David Hopper explains the western light rail extension plans to a concerned resident at a public meeting in March. There has been backlash from west-end residents, particularly those who live or use services on the First Unitarian Congregation campus, since the new route was decided through a closed 100-day negotiation with the National Capital Commission.

Noise, vibrations will affect seniors: opponents Continued from page 31

That’s too close for comfort, according to the long line of speakers who urged the committee to reject the design and instead go ahead with an alternative route that would take the underground tunnel through Rochester Field and Byron Linear Park instead.

That option was considered during the 100-day working group, but it scored lower on the city’s feasibility analyses. The advocates said the analyses were flawed and should be revisited to take the effect on the seniors and children into account.

According to them, the problems with the approved route are two-fold: first, the two-year construction period will turn the campus’s tranquil lawns and gardens into a noisy, dusty construction site that will disrupt the children’s nap times and could be seriously detrimental to the health of the fragile residents who live in the long-term care facility – it might even kill them, one resident suggested.

“This is a matter of more or less life and death,” said 92-year-old Tom Dent, who lives at Unitarian House. “By the time this construction starts I’ll be 94 or 95 so I would guess my last two years are going to be spent in a construction site.”

And once the construction is over, the residents who have survived will then have to deal with the long-term noise and vibrations of trains constantly whizzing by beneath their feet.

But city staff assured councillors the reality won’t be nearly as dramatic as the speakers suggest.

The construction will be annoying, yes, but light rail implementation manager Nancy Schepers said there are mitigation measures that can be worked into a procurement contract to make sure the site is as clean and quiet as possible.

First and foremost, that includes enforcing the city’s own noise bylaws, she said. They can also build temporary sound barriers or bring equipment onto the site further down the line so they’re not driving near the campus.

As for any long-term disruptions from the new rail service, Schepers said they’ve already solved these issues with the National Arts Centre and the CBC, who were also concerned about the vibrations of the downtown line affecting their programs.

There are many ways to sound and shock proof the train, she said. Rubber pads under the tracks buffer the contact between the train and the tunnel floor and therefore limit sound and vibrations enormously, for example.

But Cullen wasn’t buying it.

“The problem is if the mitigation doesn’t work then they’re going to have to expropriate us,” Cullen said. “Why take this risk when you have a perfectly good alternative going under Rochester Field and Byron (Linear Park)? Why put the seniors and the childcare centre at risk?”

Mayor Jim Watson was firm in his belief that the committee approved the right design.

“We’re never going to find unanimity,” he said. “There’s often fear of the unknown. People aren’t sure what it’s going to look like, and the natural reaction is ‘I’m against it.’”

Airport authority to pitch in for light rail station CEO offers $35M for transit station Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Councillors around the finance committee table were downright delighted – and perhaps a bit surprised – when the Ottawa International Airport Authority’s CEO showed up with an offer to pitch in for a light rail link to the airport.

Mark Laroche told the committee on June 29 he is willing to invest about $35 million to install a transit station at the airport if the city goes ahead with the rail spur as part of its stage two light rail plans.

“We believe we must have a world class transportation system that is inter-modal, reliable, convenient and efficient,” Laroche said.

To that end, funding for an airport station “fits the kind of infrastructure spending that is allowable, so we are prepared to proceed in that direction.”

He said Transport Canada regulations limit him from investing in mass transit projects, so he’s not able to put up any money for the tracks themselves. But incorporating a rail station into his upcoming terminal expansion plans to redo the check-in and security areas

would be a perfect way for the airport to get involved.

“If we know what’s coming we can engineer that flow-through and make it much more convenient,” he said.

The airport link is supposed to cost about $155 million if it’s built between 2018 and 2023 in conjunction with the Trillium O-Train extension to Riverside South.

But it’s not part of the city’s approved “affordability network” laid out in the 2013 transportation master plan, so if the link is going to get built, it’s going to have to get funding from another level of government.

Laroche said he’s happy to help the city make that happen, if it means his airport can be connected to a modern light rail network that will help him increase the city’s economic viability – and therefore the number of passengers moving through his terminal.

“You typically have only one shot,” Laroche said. “If you don’t get it done at the same time as the Trillium line extension, it’s unlikely that it will get done. We are loathe to let that happen.”

The announcement came as the finance and economic development committee considered functional designs for three light rail expansions as part of the city’s $3 billion, 30-kilometre stage two package: west to Bayshore and Baseline sta-

CAN’T BEAT

tions, east to Place D’Orléans and south to Bowesville Road.

Those three projects are all approved in principle, and only a lack of provincial and federal funding can derail them now.

But staff also included full functional designs and cost estimates for the rail spur and another $160 million extension to Trim Line in the east end in the hopes that provincial and federal funding will allow them to get built, too.

Councillors expressed some surprise at the airport authority’s offer. Gloucester-Southgate Coun.

Diane Deans implied that level of co-operation was perhaps missing from previous meetings on the issue.

“I was just delighted to hear Mr. Laroche say the airport is ready and willing to be a partner in the advancement of rapid transit to the airport,” Deans said. “I think that’s really significant for the future of our city.”

Watson also wasted no time welcoming Laroche to the table.

“We were very pleasantly surprised by the president of the airport, who came to the table very much in the spirit of co-operation to indicate that he wants to have skin in the game,” Watson said.

“We very much look forward to working with the airport to put a link to the airport in the southern route.”

Capital Coun. David Chernushenko speaks at the launch of the sustainability program Carbon 613 at the Kitchissippi Brewery on June 23. incentive to join. However, that’s only one incentive for businesses to sign up. Mayer encourages businesses to hop on board for other tangible benefits – such as energy savings and a chance to play a role in crafting the program itself.

“If you’re a small business, maybe you’re being impacted by high utility bills and need help,” she said. “People will be coming from different di-

Summer is in full swing, which can mean a rise in crimes of opportunity.

But police are hoping to head those off at the pass by sharing some advice.

Ottawa police recently urged residents to keep the windows and doors of their homes locked when no one is around, and are now reminding people to ensure any valuables aren’t left in plain view in their vehicles.

Acting Insp. Donna MacNeilCharbot said in a statement on June 25 that it’s just as important “not to leave valuables in plain sight in your vehicle where they may become accessible to would-be thieves.”

Police also say not to leave personal identification, vehicle registration, insurance certificates or credit cards in your vehicle.

“Even loose change can make your vehicle a target,” according to police.

Any thefts should be reported to investigators by calling 613-2361222, ext. 7300.

POLICE TIPS

• Always keep your home, garage, shed and vehicle locked, even when you are home • Close and lock car windows and doors • Park facing the street and in well-lit areas so potential thieves are more likely to be spotted • Lock and store bicycles out of sight • Place an 'all valuables removed' card in plain sight inside your vehicle to remind yourself to remove all valuables and to discourage potential thieves.

Asian butterflied pork and baby bok choy a savoury dish

Ingredients

• 2 pork tenderloins, trimmed • 50 ml (1/4 cup) each sodiumreduced soy sauce and honey • 25 ml (2 tbsp) Dijon mustard • 15 ml (1 tbsp) finely chopped fresh gingerroot • 2 cloves garlic, minced Bok Choy • 6 baby bok choy • 50 ml (1/4 cup) rice vinegar • 45 ml (3 tbsp) vegetable oil • 15 ml (1 tbsp) sodium-reduced soy sauce

• 7 ml (1-1/2 tsp) granulated sugar • Freshly ground pepper Preparation

Place the tenderloins on a cutting board, and slice lengthwise almost but not all the way through. Open the tenderloins like a book, pressing down to flatten, and place them in a large shallow dish.

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, mustard, ginger and garlic, reserving 45 ml (3 tbsp) of marinade. Pour the remaining marinade over the pork and turn to coat. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes or for up to four hours in the refrigerator, turning occasionally.

Remove the pork from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place on a greased grill over medium-high heat. Grill,

covered, basting with the reserved marinade for 15 to 20 minutes, or until reaching 71 C (160 F). Remove to a cutting board and cover loosely with foil.

Bok choy: Cut the bok choy lengthwise, and rinse under cold water. Drain and pat dry.

In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar, oil, soy sauce, sugar and pepper to taste. Just before grilling, toss the bok choy with dressing and remove, letting any excess drip into bowl. Place the bok choy cut side down over mediumlow heat. Grill for eight to10 minutes or until tender-crisp, turning once. Return to dressing in bowl and toss to coat.

Thinly slice the pork diagonally and serve with the grilled bok choy.

Toilets, cycling, arts funding all part of pre-budget town hall

Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Mayor Jim Watson’s first tele-town hall on the 2016 budget process covered every Ottawa issue you can think of on June 25.

For one hour, residents were invited to call in to the city’s first-ever phone conference, where they could listen to the discussion and sign up to tell Watson what they’d like to see included in next year’s budget.

The mayor, the city manager, the city treasurer and most department managers were on hand for the discussion so that listeners could get the most accurate answers.

Watson billed the teletown hall as an experiment to help residents weigh in on the budget before anything even gets drafted.

He had predicted as many as 1,000 people could listen in during the hour, but only about 50 people actually did. That’s compared to 20person turnouts at regional in-person consultations last year.

Twelve people actually signed up to talk; two speakers got back in line and had time to ask a second question. And when the hour was

up, only two people were left in the queue, according to Watson. Another eight questions were asked via social media.

But the people who did speak covered a capital city’s worth of topics: from public washrooms in the city’s light rail stations to crumbling rural roads to restoring funding to downtown homeless drop-in centres.

Vanier Cycles tweeted at the mayor to ask for more cycling infrastructure funding in next year’s budget. Watson didn’t promise anything, but he reiterated the city’s commitment to cycling projects; the north-south bike corridor on O’Connor Street was just approved last month, he reminded listeners.

But he also recognized the city’s cyclists will always want more than what the city has to give.

“It’s probably not as much as some cycling enthusiasts would like, but we are making progress on our cycling plan that was approved in the last council,” Watson said.

It was a similar answer for Kathryn Jamieson, chairwoman of the Ottawa Museum Network, who called in asking for the city to increase support for the Renewed Action Plan for Arts, Heritage and Culture which council approved in 2012.

This year’s strategic initiatives process has scaled back the promised operational funding for local arts and heritage organizations because of affordability.

Watson said the city is doing its part for arts funding by investing $40 million into the Arts Court and Ottawa Art Gallery redevelopment – but they can’t do everything.

“There’s no question the arts are an important aspect to our city’s quality of life, but we have to balance all of the needs,” Watson said.

That seemed to be the theme of the evening: that the needs of a growing capital city must be balanced with keeping taxes at or below the inflation rate.

Requests for more public toilets in transit stations, increased funding to fix the rural road system and a more aggressive approach to building complete streets were all met with the same answer: the city’s doing what it can, but taxpayers aren’t made of money.

Watson reminded listeners that under his direction councillors have become disciplined to keep the budget under control; if they want to add to the spending column, they have to subtract something of equal value.

That said, Watson said all of the points raised at the town hall will be considered.

“Staff have taken notes and we will make sure they are fed into the budget process,” he said.

A recording of the teletown hall will be posted at ottawa.ca. Comments about the 2016 budget can be sent to budget2016@ottawa.ca or tweeted to the city using #ottbudget.

Morning shave became a captivating event

T

ommy Rohr was that wonderful farm hand who wandered in off the tracks one day.

He was a home boy from England, and begging for a job, he said he would work for nothing more than a bed to sleep on and three meals a day.

He ended up with a couch in one corner of the back kitchen, his belongings neatly packed underneath, and with a guarantee of a flat fifty of Player’s cigarettes from Briscoe’s General Store every week as payment for his labours.

It was a long time before Father was able to afford to offer him a few dollars a month.

But Tommy Rohr seemed pleased with the arrangement.

As he often said, he didn’t need much else.

He had a thin, dark skinned, leathery kind of face, and I guess had he allowed it to grow would have had a black beard to match his jet hair. But all the time Tommy lived with us,

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories he was clean-shaven and meticulous about his appearance, which was the only reason he was allowed to have that first meal at our kitchen table when he wandered in off the tracks.

Mother would not tolerate anything but the cleanest of hands, and a face free from whiskers.

Every morning, Tommy would take his place beside Father at the washbasin on the bench beside the back door.

A small wood framed mirror hung rakishly from a nail, and Father’s razor strap was right beside it. Tommy and Father shared the basin of hot water and the mirror, but for Father that is where his hospitality

ended. No one was allowed to use his razor strap, not even Tommy Rohr. And so poor Tommy would use a whit stone to sharpen his black handled razor about once a week.

But alas, the whit stone did little to keep the blade keen enough for a clean shave.

I liked to stand beside Tommy in the mornings and watch this ritual of his shaving beside Father. There was never a word spoken between the two men. This was serious business, this morning shave, no time for frivolities.

Father would be done in jig time. He would give his razor a dozen or more swipes on his

strap, and then he would get down to the serious business at hand.

Tommy on the other hand, after lathering his face with the homemade bar of soap, and not having had the benefit of the strap, would take much longer.

I would stand there entranced as Tommy dragged the dull razor over his cheeks. It seemed to take forever to complete one sweep, and I silently wondered if men shaved differently because they came from England.

Father would finish, swish off his razor in the basin of hot water, dry it on the huck roller towel, fold it in two, place it carefully in its felt lined box, and set it on the window sill where it stayed until the next morning.

After Tommy had made several slow and calculated sweeps, I would see little pinheads of blood appear. And every time that happened, Tommy would lean into the mirror and look as if he had

never laid eyes on his own face before in his life. I was so fascinated I wouldn’t have moved from the spot if the house caught on fire.

And every time he sprung a leak (as my brother Emerson took to calling his razor nicks), Tommy would stop shaving, tear a smidgen of newspaper off a page he had at the ready, and carefully place it over the wound. By the time he was finished shaving, his face looked like lace tablecloth, with all these little pieces of paper stuck to his cheeks. All the time he would be cursing the razor.

By that time Father would be settled in at the head of the table digging into his fried potatoes and salt pork. And every time he saw Tommy take another piece out of his face, Father would wince and screw up his face as he himself had been inflicted.

Well, this went on for ages after Tommy had become part

of our household. And finally Father made a gesture that was completely against his principles. He thought a man’s razor strap was as personal as his long underwear. No one touched it but the man to whom it belonged.

But one day Father could stand it no longer. There stood Tommy in front of the mirror after a particularly torturous morning of lacerations with these dabs of newspaper stuck all over his face. Father rose from his breakfast, went to Tommy, took the razor from his hands, rinsed it off, and began slapping it up and down on the strap. I thought he was going to take it from its moorings.

He handed it back to Tommy and said, “now let’s hope that’s the last of the wounding. I guess you’ll have to use the strap instead of the whit stone.

Can’t have you bleeding to death every morning.”

It was the end of my fascination with Tommy and his daily shaves. And it was the start of a new relationship between him and my Father.

After all, now they shared a razor strap.

The plans for a victims to communism memorial beside the Supreme Court of Canada has been reduced in size and footprint by nearly half.

NCC scales back divisive communism memorial Still in the wrong location, local councillor says Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

The Victims of Communism memorial has been drastically reduced in size, but the NCC has moved closer to finalizing its controversial location.

The National Capital Commission presented a significantly smaller design for the proposed monument at its board of directors meeting on June 25, but it also approved starting a decontamination project on the site in preparation for the monument’s construction – something Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Tobi Nussbaum called “discouraging.”

He said the NCC’s advisory committee on planning, design and realty had expressed clearly in the minutes of its May project review that it does not support putting the monument in the vacant site beside the Supreme Court of Canada, because it has long been reserved for a third court building to complete a “judicial triad” on the capital’s most recognizable road.

Nussbaum has been vocal about the fact that the monument’s location goes against the NCC’s long term vision and plan, which the city and other stakeholders approved in 2006.

He even passed a motion at city council last month asking

the federal government to find a new location for the monument.

The site decontamination approval, which passed 6 to 3, takes the NCC one step further from saying no to the site, Nussbaum said.

The directors should have instead respected its advisory committee’s wishes and asked Public Works to compile a list of alternative sites.

One director did suggest the green space just west of the monument’s proposed location would be a better fit, as the long term plan labels it a public green space. But that conversation went nowhere.

The NCC still has to approve the final design, and at that point it could take its last opportunity to consider other sites. But Nussbaum said concerned residents can’t rest on their laurels.

“I think it’s really important for the public to continue to let the government of Canada know how they feel about the proposed site,” he said.

The monument is meant to honour the 100 million lives lost under totalitarian communist regimes of the 20th century, while promoting Canada as a land of refuge.

The NCC had originally proposed putting it several hundred metres down the road in the Garden of Provinces and Territories, but that wasn’t prominent enough for the private group Tribute to Liberty, which has been spearheading the project and ran the monument’s design

competition last year.

The winning design, which was announced in December 2014, was supposed to cover 60 per cent of the property. But now it will only take up 37 per cent of the site – and it could be reduced even further to more like 33 per cent, according to National Capital Commission planning director Stephen Willis.

He said there’s a hierarchy to monuments in downtown Ottawa; nothing can be taller or larger than the National War Memorial, which is about 21 metres from top to bottom.

The communism memorial would have been just over 14 m at its tallest point – under the revised design, the height now peaks at eight metres.

But the proposal also had a massive footprint, which has now retreated by almost half into the northwest corner of the lot, away from Wellington Street – with lots of added landscaping to soften the memorial’s design. \The footprint is now comparable in size to the Canadian Firefighters’ Memorial near city hall, Willis said.

The monument has three parts: a series of “memory folds” (long, concrete triangles featuring 100 million pixels), a “bridge of hope” that visitors can walk across to get a full view of the folds, and, in front of the folds, a human figure and images from the totalitarian regimes that left 100 million dead to hammer home the point.

Ottawa Hospital pays tribute to cancer donors Steph Willems steph.willems@metroland.com

The Ottawa Hospital depends heavily on the kindness and generosity of everyday citizens when it comes to funding cancer research and care, and on June 23 it showed its gratitude in a lasting way.

A donor wall listing the names of more than 700 Ottawa residents was unveiled outside the critical care wing of the Ottawa Hospital’s cancer centre, located at the General campus.

The wall puts faces to the $40.5 million donated towards cancer care in Ottawa since 2008, and highlights the importance of community involvement in specialized healthcare.

“The way philanthropy makes a difference is that the provincial funding provides the hospitals with a standard of care, but philanthropy takes it beyond the standard of care,” said Tim Kluke, president and CEO of the Ottawa Hospital Foundation.

“The latest clinical trials, research techniques, robotics, Cyberknife –

that’s 100 per cent funded by the community. It’s critical to expand research and provide a service people can’t get anywhere else.”

Private donations are more important than ever these days, given the financial state and shifting demographics of the province. Hospital funding has been frozen for several years at the Ottawa Hospital, yet demand is growing not just for general services, but for cancer care especially. An aging population puts more people at risk of cancer and other diseases than before, and the wave is already being felt.

To better serve the city, the hospital is planning to expand its cramped and overworked Women’s Breast Health Centre to accommodate a tide of older Canadians with breast cancer. With $10 million already raised for this purpose, another $4 million is needed to purchase a much-needed MRI machine that will greatly enhance its capabilities.

“We don’t have a definite opening date (for the breast health centre), but the goal is to have the funds by De-

cember,” said Kluke, adding that the eventual move of the centre from its current location at the Civic campus to a spot alongside the cancer centre at the General will improve outcomes.

The expansion comes not a moment too soon, as visits to the clinic have increased by 62 per cent in five years. Imaging and procedures – including biopsies – have increase by 175 per cent. Referrals are up 96 per cent since the clinic first opened in 2001.

Within the cramped confines of the breast health centre, nine radiologists currently share space designed for two, while other physicians are similarly overburdened.

A five-fold increase in space, coupled with an MRI machine and a tripling of exam rooms will position the hospital to better fulfill its mandate, said Kluke.

“The increase in exam space will ensure as many women as possible can be assessed, and treated more quickly,” said Kluke.

Province, Hydro Ottawa in talks over rural customers Emma Jackson

emma.jackson@metroland.com

Hydro One and Hydro Ottawa have begun a formal conversation about who should provide power to the city’s rural residents.

Hydro Ottawa CEO Bryce Conrad told Metroland Media the leaders of the two companies met in Ottawa the week of June 15 to discuss bringing 45,000 Hydro One residents into the city’s fold.

And so far so good.

“We had a very fruitful meeting,” said Conrad, who added there’s already “some stuff on the table.”

“We’ve got an open dialogue … so hopefully we can get to a resolution,” he said.

Right now rural customers in wards such as Osgoode, West Carleton-March and Rideau-Goulbourn remain with the provincial Hydro One

File

Approximately 45,000 rural Ottawa residents still receive their power from Hydro One. distributor, despite living inside City of Ottawa boundaries. Those customers were not transferred to the municipallyowned Hydro Ottawa during amalgamation in 2001.

It wouldn’t be an issue except those rural customers have complained of higher distribu-

tion costs and poor reliability compared to their urban counterparts. Neighbours on either side of a street are sometimes split by the hydro boundary – and when they compare bills, those on the provincial side often find they’re paying as much as 30 per cent more.

The dual-distributor system has caused other bizarre divisions too. Place d Orléans Mall, for example, is serviced on one end by Hydro Ottawa and on the other by Hydro One – meaning half the building can lose power while the rest stays lit.

The issue has surfaced several times over the past 15 years – most recently this spring, when Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais passed a motion at council asking the province to allow the city to bid on its own residents – but the two distributors have never been able to strike a deal, usually because of the asking price.

Previously, estimates have put the price tag at about $94 million for the customers and the infrastructure that serves them.

It’s early days, but Conrad said he’s hopeful he can have

some sort of draft deal to share with Ottawa residents before Hydro One goes ahead with its initial public offering later this fall.

The provincial government is putting 60 per cent of its company on the market to raise money for infrastructure and transit projects.

But if a deal isn’t finalized by then, “It’s not the end of the world,” Conrad said. “I’d rather get a good deal than a fast deal.”

He said any agreement between Ottawa and the province would be separate from the public sale process.

Neither Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli nor Mayor Jim Watson were immediately available for comment, but Energy Ministry spokesperson Jennifer Beaudry said the department is “pleased both sides are talking.”

“This is a positive step for-

ward on this issue,” she said in an email. “As discussions are ongoing and this process needs to unfold, we look forward to further updates from Hydro Ottawa and Hydro One.” The ministry’s mood wasn’t nearly so warm in the spring, when it blamed the city for the stalled negotiations because it wouldn’t take part in a binding arbitration process to decide on a price.

Watson said at the time that he would only support absorbing the city’s rural customers if rates for current customers would not go up as a result.

Mayor Watson did address the issue at the Greely Community Association annual general meeting June 10, calling it an issue of fairness.

“You are all Ottawa taxpayers; you should have the same rates,” Watson said. “We have to get a fair deal, it’s the right thing to do.”

Memorial softens theme The original design called for seven folds ranging in height from 2.3 m to 14.35 m. After consultations with the artist and the federal Canadian Heritage department, that’s been dropped to five folds, and the tallest will max out at 8 m.

The bridge of hope was set to peak at 11 metres high, but that’s been reduced to 5.16 m.

As for the “troubling” imagery in front of the folds, Willis said the NCC has convinced the artist and Ca-

nadian Heritage to shift the memorial’s theme away from the horrors of communism and towards celebrating Canada as a “land of refuge” for millions of immigrants and refugees.

To that end, Willis said the artist is considering incorporating images from the passports and immigration papers of thousands of people who arrived in Canada seeking a new, democratic home.

To further soften the design, a dramatic coloured lighting plan has been softened to “gentle, white lighting,” Willis said.

National stem cell bank officially launches erin.mccracken@metroland.com

Wearing a pristine white lab coat and blue protective gloves, Milenko Dragic gently carries a plastic pouch with 25 millilitres of umbilical cord blood.

So small, it fits in the palm of the medical lab technician’s hand, with room to spare.

He then lays it down on a specially lit countertop inside the Canadian Blood Services stem cell manufacturing facility in Nepean, one of two in Canada that, along with five hospital collection sites, make up the new national public cord blood bank, which officially launched June 25.

Dragic sets to work, preparing to draw a two-millilitre sample from the bag that will be tested for contaminants, such as HIV and hepatitis. Time is of the essence as the stem cell-rich blood must be frozen within 48 hours after the blood is collected following birth.

“It’s so exciting. It still doesn’t get old to me,” says Heidi Elmoazzen, director of the national bank, as she watches Dragic work inside the laboratory. “It’s always remarkable to me that we started with something that was originally medical waste and we’ve processed it into this little 25-ml bag that’s life-saving for somebody.”

The unit of blood, brought in from Brampton, Ont., 24 hours after a woman gave birth and voluntarily donated her umbilical cord blood, is enough to potentially save the life of someone fighting one of more than 80 diseases and blood disorders, such as leukemia, lymphoma or sickle cell anemia.

“Right now it’s at least 80 diseases and disorders, but that list keeps growing,” Elmoazzen says.

The magic of the cord blood is its high concentration of bloodforming stem cells, which are less

mature than adult stem cells, and for that reason, they don’t need to be a perfect match.

About 25 per cent of patients in need of a transplant – which is done by way of a blood transfusion – find a match within their families.

Though there are 635,000 publicly banked cord blood units around the world and 25.5 million adult donors, half of Canadian patients requiring a transplant are without a match.

And their numbers have tripled in the past five years.

“Right now in Canada, at any given time, we’re searching on behalf of almost 1,000 people waiting for a stem cell transplant,” Elmoazzen says, adding that many patients who have trouble finding matches are from ethnically diverse backgrounds.

“We have a lot of ethnic groups in Canada that you don’t find in other parts of the world, such as our First Nation, Inuit, Métis population,” she says. “And we have a lot of mixed marriages here in Canada, so that causes some challenges when you’re looking for stem cell donors.”

Since the country’s first cord blood manufacturing facility opened in Nepean in September 2013, almost 5,000 birthing mothers have donated their cord blood.

However, through a rigorous testing process to ensure donations are free from contaminants and that they are concentrated with enough stem cells, the number of stored units is much less; little more than 850.

“Actually, we’re doing quite well for a new bank,” Elmoazzen says, noting the Canadian public bank has higher standards than other banks.

Once the number of accepted donations was high enough, Canadian Blood Services launched its national and international cord blood registry around the start of

THURSDAY, JULY 9, 2015 - 7 PM Canada’s new public Cord Blood Bank will mean patients waiting for a transplant can look closer to a home. the year.

In addition to providing Canadians with an ethnically diverse bank, the operation will also represent a cost savings to the healthcare system.

“Right now all the cord blood units that we get are from international sources we pay for,” Elmoazzen says.

Each unit costs an average of $42,000, and while a child or small adult may only need one unit, larger adults can require two – significantly adding to the expense.

The national bank has been years in the making.

Several elements had to first fall into place: provincial and territorial health ministries (with the exception of Quebec) agreed in 2011 to contribute $48 million over eight years to establish the bank, with $12.5 million coming from Canadian Blood Services.

The agency launched its inaugural fundraising campaign as a result to help offset the set-up cost.

The bank has been set up in stages, beginning with the opening of the Ottawa processing facility at 40 Concourse Gate in 2013, around the same time it began partnering with the Ottawa Hospital’s Civic and General campuses, where cord blood can be donated by willing mothers

who give birth there.

A collection site was then established at Brampton Civic Hospital in July 2014, followed by the B.C. Women’s Hospital and Health Centre in Vancouver and the Lois Hole Hospital for Women in Edmonton in January of this year.

That coincided with the opening of a second cord blood processing and storage facility in Edmonton, which is similar to Ottawa’s in that they can each store and cryo-preserve up to 7,000 stem cell blood units at 196 Celsius.

Canada was the only G7 nation that didn’t have a public bank – some banks have been around since the late ’80s or early ’90s, but Elmoazzen says the delay worked to Canada’s advantage.

Experts here were able to look to other models around the world.

“Because we were a little bit late to the game it actually allowed us to get a lot of key learnings from what other banks have done.”

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
